Big Brother 18 couple Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo shared a new photo to Instagram that features them, with Victor holding Nicole’s growing baby belly for the camera.
This is a new update from the soon-to-be parents, where Nicole reveals not only that she has been dealing with cholestasis but where she also admits that they aren’t quite ready to deal with an early delivery.
Recently, Nicole shared with Big Brother fans that she has a breech baby and had to deal with low amniotic fluid levels. She even shared a video where she talked about the troubles that she has had during her pregnancy.
Now, she is letting her fans know that she was also know how she has been dealing with cholestasis, which is a liver condition that can occur late in pregnancy.
According to the Mayo Clinic, “The condition triggers intense itching, but without a rash. Itching usually occurs on the hands and feet but can also affect other parts of the body.”
“As far as the cholestasis goes—the itching has subsided substantially!! So I’ll get a re-draw next week but definitely feeling better about it!” Nicole noted in an Instagram caption.
Nicole Franzel shares a new pregnancy picture with Victor in it
“After having a small scare with cholestasis last week we realized how unprepared we are for an early delivery. ? Since then we’ve gotten our butts moving!” Nicole started out the caption on her Instagram image.
She then asked her followers for some help by writing, “But we have NO idea what should be in our hospital bag!!✨‼We only have a few items so far, please share what you brought/what you’re bringing!! ‼”
Nicole continued her note by speaking about how the stories that her followers have been sharing on her posts were helpful. She also confirmed that Arrow, the name of their child, is still breech.
“Also Arrow is still breech & I feel so much more comfortable about it after you all shared your stories with me on my last video ?!! I have the best Instagram family out there! You are the best.? Sharing helps so so much. I wouldn’t have known anything about cholestasis if it wasn’t for you!! XOXO! THANK YOU!! ❤,” Nicole wrote as she finished up her Instagram message.
For any Big Brother fans who didn’t know already, Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo from BB18 recently got married. Shortly after BB22 took place, the couple also revealed that Nicole was pregnant with their first child. And recently, Nicole revealed why they are naming their new baby Arrow.
A new season of Big Brother is coming soon
We are very close to the beginning of the Big Brother 23 season. The premiere episode will air on Wednesday, July 7 and it will introduce everyone to a brand new group of houseguests.
The BB23 cast should be introduced very soon and it will then be time for fans and former houseguests to start guessing about who has the best chance to become the winner this summer.
We definitely expect Cody Calafiore to use his Twitch stream to weigh on on everything.
Big Brother 23 debuts July 7 on CBS.

An Australian Aboriginal girl who was the victim of racial slurs at a Melbourne shopping centre, has won the hearts of people across the world.
Like most little girls, 3-year-old Samara loves Elsa from "Frozen." So when her mother, Rachel Muir, took her to a Disney-themed event at the Watergardens Town Centre in Melbourne last month, she decided to dress up as her favourite Disney queen.
But while waiting in line to play in a snow pit, a woman with her two daughters turned to Samara and said that she couldn’t understand why she would dress as Elsa, "because Queen Elsa isn’t black."
"I asked the woman what she meant by the comment," Muir explained to The Courier, "and then one of the woman’s young daughters screwed up her face, she pointed at Samara and said 'you’re black and black is ugly.'"
Heartbroken the by strangers' callous remarks, Samara buried her face in her hands and cried. In the following days she became withdrawn. When Samara refused to attend her Aboriginal dance class, a concerned Muir asked her daughter what was wrong.
"She pointed at the skin on her arm and asked why she was black," Muir told The Courier, "I told her 'because God gave you that skin colour, because you’re a proud blackfella like mum.'"
Muir shared her and her daughter’s experience over Facebook, which has since been shared more than 1,700 times and was picked up by the The Courier.
After the story broke, Samara and Muir were flooded with heartwarming letters and social media messages from people around the world. She's been invited to take part in the Disney on Ice "Dare to Dream" show, and Indigenous rapper Adam Briggs has asked little Samara to star in his next music video.
She even received a special message from Queen Elsa herself, all the way from Disney World in Orlando, Florida, reminding Samara to always be herself.
"I can't express how much it has meant to us," Muir told The Courier. "I just thought it would be a story people would click past and forget. To know that she has touched so many people … that they see her how I see her is just incredible."
Samara was also crowned the Queen Elsa of Australia in a Facebook competition after the judges learned her story. Muir told The Courier that all the love and support has brought a smile to back Samara's beautiful face again.
"She is back to her proud, beautiful Aboriginal self."
All hail Queen Samara!

Before the start of business, Just Security provides a curated summary of up-to-the-minute developments at home and abroad. Here’s today’s news.
Tech companies began to release data yesterday about the number of government requests they receive for user data [Reuters]. Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith said they “have not received the type of bulk data requests that are commonly discussed publicly regarding telephone records,” with FISA court orders requesting content of 15,000 to 15,999 user accounts during the first six months of 2013. Google said that between 9,000 and 9,999 of its users’ accounts were affected; Facebook said it received requests for between 5,000 to 5,999 accounts; and Yahoo said between 30,000 and 30,999 of accounts received FISA requests for content.
The Wall Street Journal (Michael Hickins) covers how the NSA’s activities have given foreign governments “an opening to restrict U.S. technology companies, which some foreign politicians have depicted as too compliant with or complicit in the spying.”
Larry Klayman, who won the first court ruling questioning the legality of the NSA’s bulk data collection program, has filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to deviate from normal appellate practice and determine the case, given its “imperative public importance” [Politico’s Josh Gerstein].
In Germany, two organizations have filed a criminal complaint against Chancellor Angela Merkel and members of her government, accusing them of helping U.S. and British intelligence agencies to spy on German citizens [New York Times’ Melissa Eddy].
Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham have said that in a closed doors meeting, Secretary of State John Kerry told a congressional delegation that President Obama’s policy on Syria is not working and that it may be time to consider arming the moderate Syrian rebel groups [Bloomberg’s Jeffrey Goldberg].
The Obama administration has sought to defend its position on Syria and dispute the reports [The Hill’s Justin Sink]. White House press secretary Jay Carney said the White House continues to believe in a “negotiated political settlement” and denied that Kerry suggested arming and training rebel groups. State Department spokesperson Jennifer Psaki also said the reported statements were a “mischaracterization” [Washington Post’s Fred Hiatt]. She added, “This is a case of members projecting what they want to hear and not stating the accurate facts of what was discussed.”
The Washington Post editorial board writes that if Kerry’s reported comments are accurate, he “would deserve credit for finally recognizing realities that he and President Obama have glossed over for too long.” The editorial argues that “it is time for the Obama administration to reconsider how it can check the regime’s crimes and the growing threat of al-Qaeda.”
Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri issued a statement yesterday publicly disavowing the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) [Al Jazeera America]. According to the statement, ISIL “is not a branch of the Al-Qaeda group” and al-Qaeda “did not approve of the creation of, nor did it control” the group. State Department spokesperson Jennifer Psaki said that the announcement “doesn’t change our view” of the group, noting that “both [ISIL] and al-Nusrah are designated terrorist organizations.”
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov has told state media that the Syrian regime is planning “a large shipment” of chemical weapons out of the country this month, and would complete the process by March 1 [BBC]. Moscow also confirmed this morning that the Syrian government delegation would attend the next session of peace talks.
On the ground, a further round of barrel bomb raids in Aleppo yesterday has killed at least 26 people [CNN’s Salma Abdelziz and Yousuf Basil].
The Wall Street Journal (Dion Nissenbaum) covers how the role of U.S. contractors is growing as the U.S. government is expected to provide more help to Iraq’s military in their battle against the Islamist insurgents.
The Iraqi Ministry of Defense has announced that its security forces have arrested prominent al-Qaeda leader Abu Majeed al-Obaidi in an armed clash southwest of Kirkuk [Al-Shorfa].
And in the latest violence in the country, at least 23 people were killed in a series of car bombings in and around Baghdad yesterday [Al Jazeera America].
The New York Times (Azam Ahmed and Matthew Rosenberg) reports that Afghan President Hamid Karzai has been engaged in “secret contacts” with the Taliban about reaching a peace agreement, according to Western and Afghan officials, thus “further corroding already strained relations with the United States.”
CBS News (Rebecca Kaplan) reports that hundreds of soldiers are being investigated for fraud in relation to an Army National Guard recruiting program, under which National Guard soldiers were awarded a referral bonus if they convinced peers to sign up. The criminal investigation will be considered at a Senate Homeland Security subcommittee hearing later today.
In apparent retaliation for last week’s drone strike that killed a senior al-Shabaab official, members of the militant group have abducted 17 people, including four of its own members, from two Lower Shabelle towns, according to local residents [Sabahi’s Osman Mohamud]. The four member of al-Shabaab were reportedly accused of spying for Western governments.
A new report from the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America outlines the challenges to the Department of Veteran Affairs’ disability compensation system, and provides recommendations so as to end the current backlog.
The Wall Street Journal’s Gerald F. Seib covers how the slow prosecution of 9/11 conspirator Khalid Sheikh Mohammed “shines a light on a troubled system.”
The International Atomic Energy Agency has said it wants Iran to clarify past production of polonium, which has non-military uses but can also help trigger an atomic bomb explosion [Reuters’ Fredrik Dahl]. And the New York Times (Mark Landler) covers how the American Israel Public Affairs Committee “finds itself in a very public standoff with the White House” over Iran sanctions legislation. However, following “stiff resistance” from President Obama, the group has stopped pressuring Senate Democrats to vote for the bill.
The Hill (Jeremy Herb) notes that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is preparing the bill repealing military pension cuts, with a possible vote on the bill as early as next week, according to Senate aides.
A former Rwandan intelligence officer, Pascal Simbikangwa is to appear in a French court today in relation to charges of complicity in genocide and crimes against humanity in the 1994 Rwandan genocide [AP’s Jamey Keaten].
The Pakistani government is due to begin preliminary talks with the Taliban’s representatives today, “in its most ambitious step yet to address Pakistan’s most potent domestic threat” [Washington Post’s Tim Craig]. Meanwhile, Pakistani politician Imran Khan, chosen by the Taliban to represent the group, has declined to participate [BBC].
The White House has announced that President Obama will travel to Saudi Arabia in March, during which he will discuss “Gulf and regional security, peace in the Middle East, countering violent extremism, and other issues of prosperity and security.”
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich returned to work on Monday after four days of sick leave, warning opposition members to end their “extremism” and “radicalism” [Reuters’ Richard Balmforth and Natalia Zinets]. Meanwhile, German foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier has said that sanctions should be used as a threat against Ukraine’s government, striking a different tone from Chancellor Angela Merkel, who ruled out imminent sanctions last week [Agencies].
The U.S. has urged South Sudan’s leaders to implement the January 23 ceasefire between the rebels and government, as a team of regional monitors arrived in the country yesterday to observe the “shaky ceasefire” [Reuters].
According to a new report from IHS Jane’s, China is preparing to increase military funding and will spend more on defense than Britain, Germany and France combined by next year [New York Times’ Michael Forsythe].
Reuters reports that at least 70 people have been killed in violent clashes between Muslim and Christian communities in a town in the Central African Republic yesterday.

Florals at Marchesa, diamonds at Julian Macdonald during LFW
Sep 14, 2014
Marchesa returns home for LFW
Speaking to AFP backstage at Banqueting House, the royal palace where the show took place beneath a 17th-century Rubens ceiling, Chapman and her partner Keren Craig, both British, said it was "very exciting" to be back. "We're back home. It's ten years since the inception of Marchesa which we dreamed up here, so it seemed like an appropriate occasion," said Chapman.
Earlier, London Fashion Week regular Julien Macdonald wowed the crowd with a wedding dress embroidered with diamonds and pearls that he said was worth more than 4 million pounds (6.5 million dollars). It was the finale of a collection of slim-fitting dresses with bold patterns incorporating flower and tattoo shapes, showcased in the conservatory of the Royal Opera House.
"My bride is a mermaid that swims in the sea, covered in treasure," Macdonald said, explaining the inspiration for the wedding gown. "She takes the buried treasure and translates it into her dream ethereal wedding dress -- diamonds, pearls, expense, lace, glamour. "It's the most important day of a woman's life and why not have the most expensive dress in the world?"
London Fashion Week continues on Sunday with shows by Vivienne Westwood's Red Label, Mary Katrantzou, Topshop Unique, Paul Smith and Jonathan Saunders. (AFP)

The Hoops face-off against the Turkish side in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
The atmosphere at Parkhead is renowned as being one of the best in football – particularly on European nights – but the hostile element in Turkish crowds creates an altogether more sinister feel.
Meireles – who joined Fenerbahce from Chelsea in 2012 – has experience of derby clashes with the likes of Galatasaray and Besiktas, and claims atmosphere’s elsewhere in Europe are not of the same intensity.
“I know Celtic is a big stadium and I know their atmosphere is well known, but if they think they can intimidate a Turkish team? All I can say is good luck,” he told the Daily Record.
“I have played in some big games in Portugal and England, but there is nothing like playing in Turkey. I think on the return game, they will find out what intimidating means.”
For all of the talk of intimidation and atmospheres, it’s what happens on the pitch that matters, and Celtic will have to be at their dynamic best to get maximum points against Meireles and co.
The likes of Nani, Robin van Persie and Lazar Markovic have added star quality to an already impressive bunch, and the Hoops will need to ensure that the tactical naivety which has cost them so dearly in Europe in the past doesn’t make an appearance in midweek.

The Young Vic: a theatre after my own heart
Introduced to me by my friend Anna, the Young Vic Theatre is a must for entertainment in London. Its plays are varied, ranging from classics to new and experimental theatre. Never have I been disappointed by any of the performances I have attended: they have all been somewhat unusual but always inspired, leaving me wanting to come back time and time again.
The close proximity of the stage and the intimate seating arrangements ensure that you can immerse yourself completely into the story being played out. Cheap tickets (£22.50 full price, £15 on preview nights) and unreservable seats make it an unpretentious evening out and one where you are made to feel part of a community.
The Young Vic, which is positioned on The Cut near Waterloo station in London, is an ideal place to meet friends after work as it houses The Cut Bar, an ebullient bar and restaurant serving simple & modern food (their burgers are good) and some pretty potent cocktails. The downstairs area is rustic with leather sofas and tables alongside a restaurant area. Upstairs, there is a stylish gallery with big windows to watch the world below go by whilst sipping a Strawberry & Basil Martini.
I cannot praise the Young Vic theatre enough and have encouraged many friends and acquaintances to experience its unusual blend of theatre and relaxed atmosphere, all for a very reasonable price.

Ah. Among Us. It seemed to be the one game to rule them all, for a time. As simple as it was genius, it was one of the most pro-social anti-social games ever made; you needed friends whom you love and trust but only so you could subsequently betray them by gleefully stabbing them in the back. Indeed, Among Us made for great TV, which is one of the reasons it was picked up by the mainstream audience, years after its initial release, to become one of the most popular games in the world — for a time.
What better story could there be for a charming little game like Among Us? Years spent collecting dust in some dimly lit corner of the Steam Store, serving a respectable but modest audience, only to seemingly be chosen out of nowhere by the gaming gods and thrust above all other games?
It was wild, phenomenal, watching Among Us soar through chart after chart to outdo venerable colossi like League of Legends, Fortnite, and Call of Duty. It was a story as compelling as its bare-bones mechanics, and millions flocked to the game in a time of lockdowns and quarantines.
But the Skeld feels a little more empty these days, doesn’t it? You can actually get into the top room on the first page now. Is something going on? Is Among Us dying?
Is Among Us Dying in 2021?
Yes. And no.
Among Us is, now, a shadow of its former self. After an explosive run at the absolute heights of popularity, no longer the reigning champion of Twitch and Steam. As of July 2020, few had yet heard of Among Us. Almost 2 years since its initial release, the game’s concurrent player peak record was approximately 6,700 on Steam. Two months later it capped out at almost 440,000 for September.
Streamers had come to realize that good content wasn’t just good games, it was good TV. And what makes better TV than one based on deceit, lies, betrayal, murder, and suspense. Nothing.
Couple that with the fact that the game was available for free on mobile with a cross-platform player-pool and everyone’s stuck at home, searching for ways to hang out from afar and boom! You’ve got a mega-hit the likes of which are rarely seen. Among Us‘ almost unthinkable success was a mixture of solid gameplay, streamer support, circumstances, and bona fide fun.
And it rode that mix to the top of the Twitch Directory too, where it stood at well over half a million viewers for three golden months in September, October, and November — #1, beyond even the likes of Just Chatting channels and goliath titles like Valorant, LoL, Minecraft and Fortnite.
Nowadays Among Us‘ stats are a far cry from that wild ride. The game started steadily shedding average Stream players in November, falling from 174,000-ish the month before to just over 110,000 — still, a wild number — and currently sits at about 50,000 for the last 30 days.
The same goes for Twitch, where Among Us now stands at 20th place in the directory with about 42,000 viewers at the time of this writing. Altogether, if we’re using Twitch and Steam charts as a metric, Among Us is down by almost 90% from its peak. An absolutely earth-shattering plummet.
But that doesn’t mean Among Us is dying.
Let us remember a game we all played just 4 short years ago: a little game by the name of Pokemon Go!. Do you remember when the streets were awash in Pokemon trainers of all ages, quitting jobs, skipping school, running into traffic while their brains did the backstroke in a pool of pure, unadulterated nostalgia? We do.
For a few months, it seemed you couldn’t have a conversation about anything without Pokemon Go! finding its way to Weedle into it. Governments were trying to ban it, and schools were formulating policies to combat it. The game was a full-blown cultural phenomenon — and then, as quickly as it rose, it seemingly vanished. The very spitting image of Among Us.
And fitting too, that the closest comparison to the game that ushered many of us through a large portion of these extended lockdowns with everyone trapped inside was the game that got millions of us gamers outside again, our vitamin-D deprived skin soaking up sunlight like solar panels while underworked calves grimaced in agony. Ah, those were simpler times back then. Good times.
But here’s the thing, Pokemon Go! never died. Not by a longshot. In fact, 2019 was reportedly Pokemon Go!‘s best year ever — making even more money than it did the year of its cultural phenomenon. Yeah. And you probably don’t know anybody who will openly admit to playing it anymore. But people are.
And while Among Us might be down 90% in terms of popularity, few games on Steam or on Twitch ever get even remotely close to the upper echelon of gaming popularity, let alone smash through the city gates and steal the crown.
Even a fraction of Among Us‘ momentary explosion in popularity is enough to make an effective game viable. With the new consoles launching in November, alongside giants like Assassin’s Creed and the then hyped to the gills Cyberpunk 2077, a downturn in popularity was downright assured.
To put things in perspective, Among Us is still, numbers-wise, rubbing shoulders with Destiny 2, Ark: Survival Evolved, and Cyberpunk 2077 — big games on their own with healthy playerbases to speak of. There’s no dearth of community when it comes to any of those games, two of which happen to be open-world multiplayer, so Among Us is, in reality, nowhere close to dead nor is it really “dying.”
So if you still enjoy pretending to help your friends before heinously slaughtering them in the shadowy recesses of spaceships and exo-bases, fret not. Among Us will have plenty of action and updates for years to come. Inner Sloth has a valuable and profitable IP on their hands that will experience a further ebb and flow in popularity as new content is added and the game naturally evolves.
And there’s nothing sus about that.

Melissa Jabek | The Daily Eastern News
The Couture Models of EIU started their annual auditions to build a new, re-invented, group of male and female models at 7 p.m. Sept. 4 and 5 in Lawson Hall’s basement
During the tryout, the females trying out wore heels, while men were not required to wear anything special.
Each person was given the opportunity to practice with one of the past members and given three walk trials, with the last being their actual tryout.
Megan Jefferson, the president of Couture, said this year is all about focusing on building a very family-oriented group.
She joined Couture when she was a freshman after people told her she should model, and it became a fun hobby of hers.
“Everybody on the team is very dedicated, (we) make new friends and (we learn) to get comfortable with each other,” Jefferson said.
Jefferson said besides bringing people who are into doing walks and love fashion, they try to help people with less confidence to build themselves up into being a confident person.
She said photo shoots are something that helps people out a lot to build confidence.
Essence Dildy, a junior kinesiology and sports studies major, is a general member of Couture.
She said this is her third year coming, and she has kept coming because it brings people together and builds a lot of friendships she is grateful for.
“(There are) a lot of positive energy and good vibes that (Couture) gives off,” Dildy said. “I like that Couture accepts people.”
Femi Usikalu, a sophomore TV broadcasting major, said this is his second year modeling.
He said he enjoys it because he is into men’s fashion and said it is his time to show who he is as well as his time to be confident.
“I’m into fashion,” Usikalu said. “I like to dress up, and if I am not dressed-up, it shows I do not care about that day.”
Usikalu said more men who are into doing walks and into fashion should join the Couture modeling, since he said there are currently around five men and a lot of ladies.
Couture Modeling meets every Tuesday and Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Dounda Fine Arts Center’s Black Box.
Jefferson said to stay tuned to what EIU Couture will have to show this year.

And the pet games keep coming. Game developers must think those sweet animals will urge casual gamers everywhere to play. The time management game Purrfect Pet Shop combines caring for the cuties in an animal shelter with matching them to the right owners.
Purrfect Pet Shop resembles Paradise Pet Salon in that they involve feeding, providing medical care, and bathing the animals. Each day you take in pets and prepare them for adoption by bathing them, vaccinating them and feeding them. Customers arrive with a certain kind of pet in mind that they want to adopt, and you match the animals to their requests. You must rely on your powers of “dogtecting” to figure out what animal each customer wants. Customers provide one characteristic of the pet they want (such as fur color or size). If that isn’t enough, you can click an icon in the customer’s thought bubble to reveal another characteristic (customers request up to four traits).
Sometimes it’s difficult to tell traits apart. The animal size icon looks like a T (or a flat line for the tiny ones) and the icons for a small and medium animal look too similar. This is also a problem with colors – especially the brown and orange families. Seeing the needs of those animals in the far left display proves tricky as their icons blend with the customer.
Stacks of dollar bills act as customers’ tail wagging meter. The stack shrinks when customers wait too long, you make a mistake with their orders, or don’t give them a completely happy pet (in other words, one that is still dirty, hungry, or sick). Pets need to be as happy as possible to earn the full tip. Those giving pitiful looks indicate they need care.
Sofia and Peter, the pet caretakers, have a tendency to block the view of some stations so that you can’t tell when the animals using the stations finish. Although animals reappearing in their cages is a way to know they’re finished with the station, having a blocked view irritates.
Clicking animals, stations, and owners doesn’t always take. You think you’re putting the cat in the tub when a big “NO” appears over one of the owners indicating you are trying to connect the owner with the cat. Clicking can start to feel like hard work, and between taking care of the animals quickly and meeting customer needs, it gets a little dicey
Though the game comes in one mode, it has four difficulty levels: Kiddies, Junior, Normal, and Hard. The lower levels offer more lives and upgrades are available sooner. Help does not explain the differences in the difficulties so play them and figure it out. Purrfect Pet Shop contains 60 levels and after 20+ levels – the game isn’t much harder than the early levels. It would be nice if Sofia and Peter would move faster.
A black and white checkered flag indicates the amount of money needed to advance, and it only takes a round or two of pet care to surpass the goal. As you purrgress through the levels, you also move up ranks beginning with 1 – in the Dog House to 48 – the Dog’s Tuxedo and beyond.
You not only choose Sofia or Peter as the pet caretaker, but also pick your own dog or cat. Select the gender, the color of its fur and eyes, and name the animal. The specially picked pet appears throughout the game and takes on the star role in the mini-game. While this feature is original, all the the animals look the same except for size and color.
The mini-game involves taking care of your special animal and purrparing him or her for adoption. The bottom of the screen shows all of the special animal’s needs and you simply click on the items to meet those needs. It won’t challenge most players – even pre-schoolers comfortable with computers could probably handle it at a slower pace.
The adoption meter fills up and yet many levels later, the game hasn’t put up the special pet for adoption. What’s the point of this mini-game? In clicking the different items to take care of the special pet, little happens. The newspaper and toys just fly in the air and fall back down. Food and drink disappear and fill back up.
Bathing is the only real action in which the animal disappears under a big bowl of bubbles. The big heart on top of the special pet with a sad face purrplexes considering the full column of hearts – an indicator the animal is happy go-lucky. One new item disappeared and came back a few levels later (had to buy it both times, too).
Some will get a kick out of the taking a picture of the special animal feature. Photos can be close ups or show the whole room. Frames can also change color and design and captions added to the larger pictures (not available for close-ups). You can email photos straight from the game or save them to your hard drive.
One grrreat thing about the game comes in the added animals and colors in later levels. Huskies originally come in gray, but brown ones show up later. Purrfect Pet Shop begins with dogs and cats, slowly adding different types of dogs and cats, rodents and snakes. In spite of the impurrfections, Purrfect Pet Shop offers long-lasting, family-friendly gameplay and music that gets you dancing in your seat.

Well-known American tuning Studio Callaway Cars has to increase the power of the engine of 2016 Chevrolet Camaro to an incredible 600 HP And all this for very little money.
Tuning Studio Callaway Cars involved in the installation of superchargers on different cars. Among the latest proposals is a special package for the sports car Chevrolet Corvette Z06, which can now also be installed on the machine easier â€“ Chevrolet Camaro SS. Appropriate models with the coupe and convertible 2016 model year. Powerful 2300cc TVS supercharger allows to increase the capacity of 6.2-liter “eight”, with a standard 455 horsepower to an incredible 600 “horses”. This machine complies with all standards, allowing it to operate on public roads, reports worldcarfans.com
The equipment tuning package in addition to the SC600 supercharger also includes an intercooler and a special vozduhonosnye. Ð¡allaway machines also feature the signature nameplates and special mats in the cabin. Tuning shop offers this car at a very attractive price, starting from $54290, including the cost of the base Chevrolet Camaro SS.
Camaro ZL1 with in two body styles
At the auto show in Detroit, which will open in early January, the company will present the top version of the Camaro ZL1 with in two body styles.
The novelty began to look much more aggressive due to the extended wheel arches and a new design of the front end. Like the coupe ZL1 Convertible has received additional aerodynamic elements, new bumpers and fittings.
The coupe and convertible Camaro ZL1 equipped with a similar 6.2-liter compressor V8, which is also used on the Cadillac CTS-V and Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Thus buyers will have at their disposal a herd of 650 “horses”, which is 70 HP more than in the previous generation model.
It is expected that the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro of the future generation, the premiere of which fans are waiting for in 2016, will receive a 2.0-liter motor.
Chevrolet Camaro future generation can get a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine in 2016. “Not seriously, only 2 liters. Nothing remains of the muscle car”, you might think, and you will be wrong. In a sense, given that a direct competitor of Ford Mustang is already equipped with a turbo “four” with the volume of 2.3 liters with direct injection EcoBoost.


Background: A predictive outcome model for intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) from patient level data would be of interest in planning clinical trials. Despite decades of effort and several different types of models attempted, there is no universally accepted model. Here, we sought to apply Information Theory precepts to select the optimum set of baseline variables that can predict outcomes using data from the control arm of ATACH-II, a recently concluded ICH trial that tested the effects of control of systolic BP (SBP).
Methods: Sixty-three logistic regression models of mortality and good outcome (modified Rankin Score of 0-3 at 90 days) were generated based on all possible combination of 6 baseline variables: NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), age, hematoma volume (Hem Vol), intraventricular hematoma volume (IVH Vol), and SBP. Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) a measure of information content in a model was calculated. Those with the lowest AIC are considered best.
Results: ATACH-II had 405 subjects with non-lobar hemorrhages that reported all six baseline variables and long-term outcomes. The best model of good outcome was based on NIHSS, age, Hem Vol, IVH Vol (R 2 = 0.33; p <<0.0001; AIC:421.28). The best mortality model was based on NIHSS, age, IVH Vol, and SBP (R 2 = 0.18; p <<0.0001; AIC:-59.50).
Conclusion: We show that Information Theory constructs can be used to select the best set of variables to model outcomes in ICH. While we found generally better predictive ability for good outcome compared to mortality, the best model predicted only 57% of the outcome variance. While additional types of data fitting might yield additional predictive value, the relatively modest results seen here suggest that there remain additional factors related to outcome not typically measured in ICH trials. Additional data points from other trails are being pooled to see if predictive ability improves.

How to Clean the Carburetor on a Homelite Trimmer
The carburetor on a Homelite trimmer helps deliver the fuel and air mixture to the internal combustion engine. After several seasons, gas and oil impurities will gradually deposit build up on the jets of the carburetor and in the walls of the cylinder.
These deposits will choke the cylinder of air and fuel, which will lead to sluggish acceleration, poor idling and no power under load. To get the trimmer running well again, the carburetor must be removed, disassembled and cleaned.
Unhook the air filter housing cover. Take the air filter out of the box. Undo the two hex nuts with a socket wrench and 3/8-inch socket. Take the air filter-housing box off the carburetor’s two mounting studs.
Unplug the two gas lines from the carburetor’s elbow connectors using your fingers. Unscrew the two mounting screws holding the carburetor to the intake manifold. Pull the carburetor and gasket off the manifold.
Disassemble the carburetor carefully. Draw a diagram of all parts as you remove them to help with their reassembly. Unscrew all the outer screws holding the gaskets and diaphragms to the carburetor. Unscrew the needle valve retaining screw and remove the needle valve assembly from the carburetor. Undo the carburetor adjusting screws and remove them.
Soak all parts in a carburetor cleaner bath overnight. Scrub off all deposits still left with a brush. Blow out the two jets with compressed air. Don’t clean the diaphragms and gaskets if you don’t have a replacement carb kit with new diaphragms and gaskets.
Reassemble the parts in reverse order. Pay close attention to replacing the needle valve assembly. Insert the small spring into the hole. Place the needle valve with the valve lever on top of the spring. Replace any parts with the carburetor kit as needed. Reinstall the carburetor in the engine following the reverse of disassembly.
Things You Will Need
- Socket wrench
- 3/8-inch socket
- Carburetor cleaner
- Compressed air
- Carb kit
Clean all sensitive carburetor parts carefully as any damage may ruin the carburetor.

Love Is Inviolate
The first white star! My dear one, still we travel
A love-illumined path as when we met,
For hand in hand we hear time's rhythmic gavel
Striking our twilight hour with no regret:
Remembering the larks in April fluting;
The music of a new-born infant's cry;
The joy of lusty, laughing boys saluting,
And gay starched little girlies skipping by ...
So many primrose hours--a touch of grieving--
And from them time unrolls a miracle,
For now we see, when viewing our years' weaving,
The pattern of the whole is beautiful.
The first white star ... and night ... dawn's opening gate--
Our lyric song, love is inviolate.

While Morrissey’s new single is called “Spent the Day in Bed,” the British rock icon spends much of the song’s music video rocking in a wheelchair.
The clip opens with the singer being wheeled into a large room, where his band is waiting. He sings the song while sitting in a chair, pausing occasionally to stare pensively at the camera. Towards the end of the video, Morrissey hops back in the wheelchair, and gets pushed around the room by members of the band.
“Spent the Day in Bed” is the first single from the singer’s upcoming album, Low in High-School, which is due Nov. 17.

School of Pharmacy Faculty, Staff Serve Ronald McDonald House Families
Faculty and staff from the Wegmans School of Pharmacy recently took a break during their annual retreat to prepare and serve a meal for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House.
Approximately 18 faculty and staff members participated, serving an Italian feast for about 35 family members. While this was the first time the group did a volunteer activity during their retreat, they usually prepare a meal for a local organization during the academic year. In previous years, they have worked with Hope Lodge and Mary’s Place.


A reader describes how you can collect and use deer droppings as organic fertilizer in your garden.
As an organic gardener, I’m always on the lookout for natural organic fertilizer. I started using deer manure when I would come across piles of it in the fields alongside our garden.
My favorite time of year to hunt for deer droppings is in winter, when it shows up against the snow. I built a little scoop out of scrap lumber and hardware cloth to pick up the pellets, leaving the snow behind. I look for established deer runs to collect the greatest amount. After the snow melts, it’s not as easy to spot the nearly black piles.

Going into 2014, his shows this week at Go Bananas are being recorded for his third CD. “Once it is on CD, I kind of like to put the material to bed,” he says. The New Year may also find him moving to New York or Los Angeles. The latter is the leading candidate. “It’s gone down to -2 degrees here in Cincinnati. Seven months out of the year it’s a pretty healthy debate, but right now Los Angeles wins.”

While having accrued almost 20 years of experience contributing towards the distinct sonic vision of Grizzly Bear, it is clear that Daniel Rossen now stands defiantly on his own two feet. His move from rural upstate New York to the high desert climbs of Sante Fe emblematic of the transition from collaboration to an independent creative process, Rossen redefines the boundaries of musical imagination with his long-awaited, wholly confident debut LP 'You Belong There'.
Featuring finessed acoustic arrangements with genuine musical integrity, an overarching folk backbone, and tightly woven vocal harmonies that reinforce the poignancy of introspection, the album leads the listener down a mesmerising rabbit hole, and out the other side.
Setting the tone with transitional connotations, ‘It’s A Passage’ offers a soaring voyage through down-tuned acoustic gypsy blues, and a satisfying clarity when drums and voice leap into motion. Tracks such as the choppy, reflective ‘Unpeople Space’ and sugar spun ‘The Last One’ offer a similarly captivating rhythmic intrigue and crisp sonic quality, atop hypnotic choral harmonies and enthralling string and woodwind arrangements.
While Chris Bear’s (Grizzly Bear) guest drumming adds a depth of excitement across the album, Rossen – best known for his guitar work – impressively performs the vast majority of instrumental material, including upright bass, cello and woodwinds, the latter through process of self-tuition during the album’s conception.
It is perhaps the sparser inclusions that really expand the sound-world of the record; apparent in the reaffirming, sweeping musical collapse of the title track ‘You Belong There’, the mournful Spanish guitar and gorgeous vocal melancholy in ‘Celia’ and the deceptive folk psychedelia of spinning lament ‘Keeper and Kin’.
Though masterfully self-affirming as a whole body of work, the bookending ‘Repeat The Pattern’ could arguably be 'You Belong There’s defining moment; its pensive, near-mystical intent representative of Rossen’s handcrafted sonic odyssey coming full circle, while leaving an open space for wherever the craftsman may journey next.

“There’ll be music, sweet music…there’ll be music everywhere.” –Dancing in the Streets
Walking around Dancing Rabbit town, the sounds of music waft to one’s ears. Stereos entertain cooks chopping vegetables, choir veterans teach madrigals to eager new singers, guitars ring from every corner.
Making music is one of the easiest art forms for Rabbits to practice. It’s portable, it’s easy to pick up for a short time in a free moment, and anyone can do it. The drive to make music seems almost irresistible for a lot of people, so there are a lot of outlets for music-making energy here at the ecovillage..
There a weekly a capella song circle, a part-singing group rehearses irregularly, and pop/rock/blues groups rehearse and give impromptu or planned performances from time to time. We also do sing-a-longs whenever critical mass hits. You can’t swing a cat at DR without hitting a guitar player (and annoying the cat) ((joke)) so there’s always someone plucking away and drawing another player into their spell to learn a new song or technique.
There’s an opportunity for everyone, from serious musicians to those who just want to sing along with a guitar while doing dishes. Of course, sometimes it’s good to be stimulated by outside influences as well, and we have a large music collection covering a wide range, from classical to disco, for just this purpose. We also have a goodly number of house concerts on site.
Dancing Rabbit is a great place to sing, play or learn to play an instrument. Whether you prefer to yodel, digeridoo, or (god forbid) play the trombone, if you come to visit, come ready to play!

Vanilla Breakfast Pudding is a nice warm comforting gluten-free breakfast made with some common pantry items. This is a great start to the day.
We appreciate your support
This post may contain affiliate links. Life Currents participates in different affiliate programs. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. For more information see here.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this recipe. I read all the comments myself and I try to help as soon as I can. I have readers from all levels of comfort and experience in the kitchen on my site, and I’ve tried to answer some of your questions already in the post. But if I’ve missed anything, please feel free to leave a comment and ask.
I love a warm comforting breakfast, especially at this cold time of year. So when I saw this recipe for Vanilla Breakfast Pudding I had to try it.
And, everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so make sure you treat yourself right! Another great breakfast idea is this almond milk chia pudding.
This is delicious while being healthy and hearty. I also like that this breakfast pudding is gluten-free. What a great way to start the day!
You could use just about any fruit that you like. Strawberries in summer time would be lovely. Blueberries would rock. Peaches, pears… well, you get the idea. Use whatever fruit you love. And, you could use fresh, frozen (defrosted), or even dried fruits.
You can also use cream of rice or cream of wheat in this. They are basically the same idea.
I think I’ll add 1 teaspoon of ground flaxseed with the vanilla next time; that’ll add some extra nutrition as well as a nutty flavor.

Oversight Board Sees TARP Aiding Borrowers
Efforts by federal regulators to promote liquidity in the asset- and specifically mortgage-backed securities market has overall helped mortgage borrowers, according to a second-quarter report by the Financial Stability Oversight Board on the Treasury Department's implementation of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and other programs within the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. In particular, the purchase of agency MBS by the Federal Reserve beginning this year coincided with a drop-off in average interest rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages. In the second quarter, the Fed and Treasury held down the rise of these interest rates to only 60 bps, despite larger increases in yields on reference Treasury securities, according to the report (which can be downloaded here). The narrowing of the spread between Treasury yields and Freddie Mac (FRE) current coupon 30-year MBS yields that resulted has more closely aligned the spread with historic levels, the board's report says. "The Oversight Board also believes that actions taken by Treasury under the TARP and under other authorities, together with those taken by the Federal Reserve, continued to aid the housing market and mortgage borrowers during the period by further relieving strains in the functioning of credit markets and aggressively supporting the demand for mortgage-backed securities," the report reads, in part. During the second quarter, higher borrowing costs "reduced the attractiveness" of refinancings but had little effect on overall demand for purchase mortgages, the board notes. The financial system continued to experience significant strains during the second quarter, despite the $203bn in capital injections provided by the Treasury so far. The injections, made to 649 financial institutions across 48 states, reflect the reach of the TARP's Capital Purchase Program as of June 30. The Oversight Board noted the Treasury extended more than $23.9bn of loans under Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, which has supported the issuance of approximately $32.9bn of asset-backed securities. It also also noted efforts to support the restructuring of domestic auto companies and to monitor executive compensation among TARP fund recipient corporations. Write to Diana Golobay.

Kochi is a amjor port and the capital city of Japan's Kochi Prefecture (on Shikoku Island's southern coast) with population over 330,000.
Prior to Meiji Revolution (1868), this province (named Tosa) was controlled by Chosokabe clan (until 1615) and Yamauchi clan (until 1868). The prefecture comprises the southwestern part of Shikoku Island (Pacific Ocean) and is bordered by Tokushima (north-east) and Ehime (north-west). Kochi is the largest but also least populous of the 4 prefectures of Shikoku (Ehime, Kagawa, Kochi, Tokushima). Most of the province is mountainous, with highest elevation point (Mt Inamura-yama) 1506 m (4941 ft) above sea level.
As of 2012, 7% of Kochi Prefecture's total land was designated Natural Parks, including Ashizuri-Uwakai; Tsurugisan Quasi, Ishizuchi, Muroto-Anan Kaigan, plus 18 other smaller-sized parks. City's best-known tourist attractions include Kochi Castle (one of japan's only 12 original fortresses); Ryugado Cave (one of Japan's top 3 caves), Katsurahama (scenic beach located approx 30-min bus travel to the south from downtown), Shimanto River (Japan's only undammed river), Godaisan Mountain (to the east), Anpanman Museum (themed on anime characters).

932 Grand was an existing marble shop converted to house over 2,000 sq ft. of gallery space and a café and bookstore.
The exterior is newly clad in a scored clay brick and semi-open galvanized steel channels, with a small outdoor courtyard buffering the gallery from the Grand St. thoroughfare.
At 306 Maujer, two deeply textured cast-in-place concrete volumes enclose a 1500 sq ft. lush garden. One of the buildings is an art residence that consists of a ground floor with a communal area and library that residents use for regular seminars, meetings, and small gatherings with invited guests. Four daylit artist studios occupy the floor above.
Walkways at the east and west perimeter connect to a second concrete volume housing Géza, an 1800 sq ft. space dedicated to live events. Géza is where exhibition and public programs merge with residency activities to create a space for rehearsal and multifunctional uses.

Best of Prenzlauer Berg & Mitte
The neighborhoods north of the River Spree—Prenzlauer Berg and Mitte—have long been the hub of Berlin’s cultural and commercial scene. Today, they’re great areas to explore for every type of dining, incredible shopping, and iconic sights.
Rosenthaler Str. 39, 10178 Berlin, Germany
If you’re looking for a place reminiscent of the smoke-filled cafés of bohemian Paris, look no further than Cafe Cinema. Sitting alongside a popular tourist route in Hackescher Markt, the small, hole-in-the-wall cafe attracts both tourists and locals. In the evenings it’s a great spot for a beer and interesting conversations, and the daytime sees visitors working quietly and enjoying coffee. In summertime, the alleyway nearby has picnic tables, which make a great spot for people watching. The alternative atmosphere can be hard to find in Berlin Mitte, and this is one of the coolest spots in the area.
10969 Berlin, Germany
When Berlin was divided, Checkpoint Charlie was the most famous of the border crossings between the eastern and western halves of the city. It was here that Allied soldiers registered before crossing over into the Soviet-controlled sectors. Thanks to its appearances in Cold War thrillers from Bond movies to John Le Carré novels, it has become a symbol of that era in the city’s, and world’s, history. A small museum nearby includes a replica of the guardhouse that once stood here.
Knesebeckstraße 1-2, 10623 Berlin, Germany
Bauhaus—the German design, crafts, and architecture school founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius—is one of the most famous design movements of the 20th century, and this Berlin museum shows its impressive breadth and influence. Designed by Gropius himself and completed in 1979, the building holds a wealth of Bauhaus items such as furniture (lamps, chairs, tables), ceramics, photography, and theater pieces by an array of the movement’s most famous teachers and practitioners, including Gropius, Johannes Itten, Paul Klee, Lyonel Feininger, Wassily Kandinsky, László Moholy-Nagy, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. (Note: The museum is temporarily located in the Charlottenburg district while the main building is being renovated and extended to pay tribute to the movement’s centennial.)

ASUS’s next-gen PN65 Mini PC has been listed which features the upcoming Intel 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU with Arc graphics.
ASUS’s Next-Gen “PN65” Will Feature Intel’s 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPUs In A Small Form Factor Design
The next-gen ASUS Mini-PC is expected to be named “ExpertCenter PN65”. According to the leaked specifications sheet, the Intel 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU will consume 28W, much lower than the previous generation, the PN64, which used 45W. This is due to the fact that the H-series consumes slightly higher power than the standard U/P series parts.
The ASUS PN65 Mini PC will also support DDR5-5600 memory with total capacity support of up to 64GB (2×32 GB DIMMs). As for storage, ASUS will provide 2x M.2 2280 slots compatible with PCIe Gen 4 and an additional 2.5′ space for smaller HDDs; hence, you will get 6 TB of storage capacity. The Mini-PC will feature all high-end connectivity with 2.5G internet, Wi-Fi 6E wireless connectivity, and Bluetooth 5.2.
In terms of the design of the ASUS PN65, it will boast a black textured surface with no design change from its previous generation. The PC will have an I/O at the front and the back for extended connectivity. The front ports will have 1 USB 3.2 Type-C and 2 USB 3.2 Type-A connections. There will also be an RGB indicator to inform consumers about the PC’s power status.
The back I/O ports will feature one USB 3.2 and two older USB 2.0 ports. It will also include the unique 3.2 Gen 2 port with DisplayPort 1.4, all into a Type-C connection. Seeing how small the Mini-PC is, you are getting a lot of connectivity here, which will be more than enough for an average consumer.
The actual benchmarks of the unreleased PN65 are yet to be determined. However, you may probably get a ballpark figure for the Mini-PC’s performance by looking at prior leaks about Meteor Lake mobile CPUs. The Mini-PC’s retail pricing and release date remain unknown, but we anticipate the manufacturer will announce these details soon enough.
The Mini-PC industry is becoming more competitive, particularly with firms like ASRock introducing their high-end DeskMeet series geared toward the next-generation AMD Ryzen 7000 APUs that will be available later this year. Companies are making great strides in squeezing maximum the overall performance out of small form-factor PCs, thanks mainly to the newest releases from Intel & AMD.


Russia to Test Comm Systems for Retrofitted Strategic Bombers in 2017
Tests of communication systems for modernized Russian long-range bombers Tu-22M3 and Tu-160M will start in 2017, director of the United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation (Rostec) Alexander Yakunin told
According to him, these systems will help missile-carrying bombers exchange data with command centers at higher speeds and transmit far more information. "Moreover, the new equipment will considerably reduce the bombers’ radar signature", added the Rostec director.
As was earlier reported, Russian Airspace Force plans to acquire at least 50 strategic bombers Tu-160M. Later on, the military officials specified that the question was a new version of the aircraft, Tu-160M2, which mass production would start in 2023 while carrying over the PAK DA project (a prospective Russian strategic bomber). It was expected earlier that deliveries of the new-generation bombers would start in 2023-2025.


An Israeli spacecraft on Tuesday sent its first selfie from its mission to the moon back to its control room in Yehud, AFP reported.
Australia is clearly visible in the photo of Earth, taken during a slow spin of the spacecraft.

The sign also has an inscription that reads "Small country big dreams". It was taken some 37,600 kilometers (20,000 miles) away from Earth.
The Twitter account tracking the moon lander that was launched atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral last month posted the selfie that shows a placard with the Israeli flag in the foreground and Earth in the background. Israel's target date for landing on the moon is April 11. The spacecraft's trackers, which were supposed to follow the stars, failed to work after launch, but on February 24, the spacecraft still managed to complete its first maneuver successfully when Beresheet's main engine was activated.
"Privately Funded Israeli Spacecraft Heads Toward Lunar Landing" is part of Aviation Week & Space Technology's subscription package.
During its weeklong science mission, Beresheet will measure the moon's magnetic field and send back high-resolution views of its surroundings - no doubt including an Apollo-style picture of Earth looming above the lunar surface.
Justin Sun Calls Binance Coin(BNB) as the new Bitcoin
BNB is DOing its own thing in this regard, although that won't automatically lead to a new all-time high in the coming days. To begin , Binance is one of the most widely used, if not the most widely used, crypto exchange in the space.
MIT has made a Mini Cheetah robot that can do backflips
They are now working on a landing controller so that the robot would be able to steadily land on its feet after a big throw. The new mini cheetah is a scaled-down version of the Cheetah 3 that we previously saw prancing around the MIT campus .


In 2010, the cash-strapped owner of the Willows Inn on Lummi Island, Washington, placed an ad on Craigslist for a head chef. Blaine Wetzel, who was raised in nearby Olympia and had spent the last two years cooking (and, of course, foraging) at Noma in Copenhagen, was looking to come home. “Home” soon meant a 9-square-mile island dangling in the Puget Sound just 30 miles south of the Canadian border.
I have been trying to enjoy Los Angeles. Or at least dismantle my aversion to it. It all started in January when my L.A.-based friend, who knows I’ll find any excuse to decline a visit—impromptu family reunion, cardiac arrest—gave me two robust months’ notice for her 40th birthday party. I was going whether I liked it or not. And besides the two-plus hours of stop-and-start maniacal traffic, I think L.A. finally broke me.
Our first time in Cabo San Lucas, situated on the southernmost tip of the Baja California peninsula, we knew it would be more margaritas and less Mayan ruins. This is a sun-and-fun getaway for Americans: you can use dollars interchangeably with pesos, you’ll find both Costco and a luxury shopping mall, and it seems almost every visitor we spoke to owned a time share. And if you don’t own a time share, there is someone with a clipboard who would like to speak with you.
In case you haven’t heard, Tijuana is the next big thing in food. Not only have people in the know been frequenting Baja for years, but the media finally caught on, too. Anthony Bourdain, Rick Bayless, and Andrew Zimmern made recent trips with camera crews in tow, and media darling Javier Plascencia was profiled by the New Yorker and the New York Times for innovative cuisine served in a modern glass box above the city’s rainbow-colored bungalows.
Organic food is what we are meant to be eating. It contains no additives, preservatives, fertilizers, or pesticides—widely associated with various types of cancer. It is not genetically modified—widely believed to cause organ damage and other serious health problems. It has not been sterilized with radiation or ammonia, like most fast food meat. Organic farms are required to constantly test both their products for nutrients as well as their irrigation water (non-organic farms use “sewer water” that can contain biosolids like heavy metals, lawn pesticides, gas, detergents). Convinced yet?
PHOTO ESSAY: Visiting my brother and his family in Santa Cruz with a stop at Manresa restaurant in nearby Los Gatos
“30th on 30th“—held on 30th Street on the 30th of each month in North Park, San Diego—is a food and drink event that promotes a handful of neighborhood restaurants while also encouraging the community to come together and celebrate chefs who value sustainable and local ingredients. Eaters can enjoy an affordable bite and one of San Diego’s renowned craft beers in front of the establishments, so people can essentially “food hop,” if you will, from one place to another. In the end, it’s a bit like a food-obsessed block party, and—in the eighth largest city in the country—patrons are able to enjoy the communal bounty of just one tasty street.


MONROE, La. (KTVE/KARD) — Community members from District 4 in Monroe came together to discuss needs in the area.
The man focus of the meeting was the cultural district. The city of Monroe is working with people who specialize in creating a dialouge between city planners and people who live in the community.
The planners and people who live in the community. The planners say they are here to help the community find and highlight unique gems in our area. Those in the meeting who showed any opposition were mainly worried that they would be asked to leave or slowly be pushed out by rising rent prices.
However, there was no concrete resolution made, because the cultural district is still in the planning stage.

Bank of America reports net income of $367M in 4Q
- Staff Orlando Business Journal
Bank of America Corp. on Thursday reported $367 million in net income for common shareholders, or about 3 cents per share, for the fourth quarter of 2012, down from net income of $1.6 billion for the same period a year earlier, the Charlotte Business Journal reports.
Analysts had estimated net income of about 2 cents per share in the latest quarter, after Charlotte, N.C.-based Bank of America reported multiple legal settlements and accounting charges that offset gains in some businesses. Altogether, it was a noisy quarter, with one-time items, legal deals and asset sales clouding the company’s core performance.
For the full year, the bank (NYSE: BAC) reported net income of $2.8 billion, or 25 cents per diluted share, in 2012. That’s up from $85 million, or 1 cent per share, from the year before. Overall, revenue at the bank continued to decline, though capital ratios kept improving during the latest period.
Bank of America is Central Florida's second-largest bank, with $6.9 billion in local deposits and 66 branches.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers?
I'm reading TAPPED, right? So what's with this
..., this was about as bad an incident of P.C.-inspired censorship as Tapped had seen in years, although it was quickly followed up with more examples from the University of California at Berkeley and other hotbeds of left-wing censorship. (Liberals ignore this growing trend -- groups of students demanding apologies and redress from papers that have printed articles with which those students disagree -- at their peril. The new left-wing campus culture, for all its newfound energy and activism, provides principled liberals with plenty to be worried about.)
or this criticism
of the NY Times:
HOW STRANGE . . . That the secretive, late-night, voice-vote confirmation of conservative judge Michael McConnell received only an A.P. note in The New York Times.
One of the best indicators of a political writer's intellectual honesty is his or her willingness to accurately describe the opposition. A dishonest pundit, seeking to radically shift political definitions, will describe even the most milquetoast centrist as a "left-wing radical." (By the same token, a lot of liberals seem to consider every Republican a "right-winger.")
Que pasa? We are confounded by their new-found awareness of some of the peculiar symmetries of American politics.
However, re-assurance can be found promptly. Over at Spinsanity, we see a report on the response of the Left
to the election:
...a number of liberal commentators have let loose a barrage of attacks on President Bush and his party featuring dire claims about what will happen when Republicans take control of Congress.
The attacks started immediately after last Tuesday's election. Writing in the American Prospect Online, Harold Meyerson claimed that "Only the filibuster now stands between the nation and the unchecked rule of the most rightwing, xenophobic and belligerent administration in the nation's history."
Ah, order restored.

The Slovenian Environment Agency (ARSO) and the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning (MOP) presented the first projections for climate change in Slovenia until the end of the century, as a consequence of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere.
Barbara Simonič from the department for climate change at MOP, stressed that is was equally important to start both adapting to and softening the effects of climate change, which can already be seen in the form of extreme weather events, such as ice storms, flashfloods or the melting of the Triglav glacier. Most exposed to such events is central Slovenia, which is also a well-developed region and therefore adjusting the most to such events.
ARSO, in its projections on what kind of climate change Slovenia will face until the start of the 22nd century, presented three different scenarios – from the most optimistic to the most pessimistic with regards to the global reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (the most optimistic is in line with the Paris Agreement on climate change).
It all depends on the emissions
Mojca Dolinar, who heads the sector for climate analysis at ARSO, warned that the projections are uncertain as it is not clear how the greenhouse gas emission scenarios will unfold in the future. That is why the projections should not be considered a forecast. "When making projections, we have to realize that they’re burdened with uncertainty. We don’t know what we, as humans, will be able to do regarding greenhouse gas emissions. Changes in the future will very much depend on whether we succeed in reducing greenhouse gas emissions or not. When we look at the scenarios for the future, we have to think about which greenhouse gas emission scenarios we’d like to consider," explained Dolinar.
Despite the fact that the projections are uncertain, they are important for adapting to climate change. Last but not least, the European Union will, reportedly, demand in the new financial perspective that all projects co-financed by the EU include climate change estimates.
"The projections have been prepared as a basis, which can help us adapt to climate change. They can also help many strategic projects, which have a long lifespan and have to be resilient to climate change. One of the EU demands for all the bigger investment projects is for them to be resilient to climate change. So, everyone planning such projects needs our projections," said the climatologist. She added that climate change is already affecting all sectors and that the most vulnerable is the agriculture sector. Tourism is also already affected by climate change, especially ski tourism.
