A strange photo of Elon Musk kissing a robot confuses the Internet – yet everything isn’t as it appears
Pictures of Elon Musk kissing robots have been circling via social media
Elon Musk has made a name for himself when it comes to strange behavior, such as attempting to put an end to Russia’s war on Ukraine and spreading conspiracies about the Covid.
The internet is now baffled by a bizarre picture of him kissing a robot.
The photos of Musk with a few female humanoids have gotten out and about via web-based entertainment, however everything isn’t as it appears.
The images were shared online by construction company CEO David Marven, who posed the question: Who exactly is Elon Musk’s future wife?’
The footage of Musk’s humanoid Optimus robot, which was dubbed “cringe” when it was unveiled in September, was seen now leaping.
David Marven, CEO of a construction company, shared the images online and asked, “All is not as it seems to be as it appears to be.”
The images of Musk with several female humanoids have made their way around social media.
Elon Musk declares the future spouse, who is she?’
In an effort to draw attention to the dangers posed by artificial intelligence, Mr. Marven posted the images to Twitter.
Elite You reserve the option to remain digital: In the US and Europe, an AI-powered robot funded by ChatGPT is already employed as a security guard.
Mr. Marven wrote in the advertisement: It is the first robot that has been made with artificial intelligence in mind.
It has the personality and characteristics of the woman he dreams of, which no normal person would have because no normal person has all the requirements. “Catnilla” is a solar-powered robot that doesn’t need to be charged and is “equipped with sensory means that make her feel sad and happy,” he continued. Mr. Marven continued, “She has a mindset that is balanced and interactive… so she can share it if she is in a crisis or the feelings that she is experiencing or the needs when she is exposed to any psychological stress.”
However, he then revealed that artificial intelligence was used to create the odd images. “Clarify the dangers of AI,” Mr. Marven stated, was the goal of his post.
Especially since the first integrated robot, “Optimus,” was made available by Tesla Company,’ he added.
Twitter clients went wild at the photos, with one composition: ‘ The Black Mirror trailer recently dropped.’ Another client shared their simulated intelligence concerns, tweeting: ‘ One of the dangers of AI is that it is being used to create images like these to trick people into thinking they are real, as this post explains.
In any case, some were envious of Musk’s robot ability, as another client composed: ‘ Where is the version for men? I played constantly for a robot husband. completes all tasks, never quarrels, and has all of the necessary settings.

This Checkerboard Cake features a fruity strawberry and lemon taste with a frosting. It is a fun cake for occasions like birthdays, or children’s parties.
Then I made a double-decker Strawberry Lemon Checkerboard Cake. It has a 6-inch strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting and a 6-inch lemon cake with lemon frosting.
I used 4 inch and 2 inch biscuit cutters to cut circles then rearrange them with alternating colors. I colored the cream cheese frosting pink and added a 1/4 teaspoon of strawberry extract.
I used some of the lemon frosting to crumb coat the sides of the cake then used an open tip to pipe on a design. It’s so easy yet this little cake makes a big impression!

Printer uses other print mediums as well
There is no shortage of 3D printers on the market today. There are printers that use all sorts of materials from plastics and other things to paper. One medium that there wasn’t a 3D printer out there using was carbon fiber. At least until Gregory Mark came along.
“We took the idea of 3D printing, that process of laying things down strand by strand, and we used it as a manufacturing process to make composite parts,” he told PopMech. “We say it’s like regular 3D printers do the form. We do form and function.”
Mark owns part of a business that makes wings for racecars out of carbon fiber. Making things out of carbon fiber is an intensive hands on process.
Mark says that he started to look for a 3D printer, and ended up building his own when none were out there. The printer can use carbon fiber, fiberglass, or PLA as media reports Popular Mechanics. The parts the machine prints using carbon fiber are five times stronger than ABS.

In recent years, applications of neural networks with Clifford algebra have become widespread. Hyperbolic numbers are useful Clifford algebra to deal with hyperbolic geometry. It is difficult when Hopfield neural network is extended to hyperbolic versions, though several models have been proposed. Multistate or continuous hyperbolic Hopfield neural networks are promising models. However, the connection weights and domain of activation function are limited to the right quadrant of hyperbolic plane, and the learning algorithms are restricted. In this work, the connection weights and activation function are extended to the entire hyperbolic plane. In addition, the energy is defined and it is proven that the energy does not increase.

Did you measure the snowfall? Tell us how much you think we got in the comments
How much snow did we get? One answer we might agree on is, enough. On Saturday morning, TF Green Airport reported they measured 16.6 inches of snow. Some parts of Rhode Island reportedly got more than two feet of snow. Did you measure? How much snow did your record? Tell us how much snow and where you are!
Snow is expected today across Rhode Island
To share your snow pictures, click here! Winter weather is on its way! Although some parts of Rhode Island are bracing for up to seven inches of snow Saturday, less than a half inch of accumulation is expected during the day in Middletown, according to the National Weather Service. Snow is expected after 4 p.m. and then it will probably mix with rain after 5 p.m. After midnight, however, the precipitation could change back to snow, which could leave the ground coated with two to four inches of fresh snow. Little or no snow accumulation expected tomorrow. How much accumulation will we get? Take a guess!

Puritas, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Haycarb PLC and a member of the Hayleys Group, joined Spinner as the official personal protection partner, to launch the inaugural ‘Kimbula Race’ at the Kimbulawala cycling trail.
Organised by Spinner, the organiser of many exciting cycling events and partners to Ironman 70.3 Colombo, the action-packed criterium race held on January 28, 2021, witnessed more than 100 cyclists test their skills across five laps of the 9.5Km long circuit.
Minister of Youth and Sports, Namal Rajapakse declared open the event. The race, which is to be hosted annually, was held under strict health, and safety guidelines in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and was live-streamed on the Oxypura and Haycarb Facebook pages.
“If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it is the importance of health. Cycling is a sport which is considered to be among the safest forms of exercise that you can do during the pandemic. Exercise in turn is an excellent way to improve your overall health and wellbeing, so even with the challenges in organising an event of this scale, we felt it was vital to rebuild the cycling and athletic culture in the ‘new normal’. We hope this initiative will inspire other athletes to safely continue their training and strengthen their dedication to compete,” said Haycarb PLC Managing Director, Rajitha Kariyawasan.
First, second and third place winners were presented with cash prices. Commencing from the Spinner Cycling Center in Kimbulawala, the race continued on to the Japan Friendship Road, Ethul Kotte, Bangala Junction, Beddagana Road and Thalawathugoda Road.
Athletes taking part in the event were also privy to a special panel discussion to discuss breathing techniques for exercises and any risks and training benefits of wearing masks. Team led by Dr. Lal Ekanayake, Director General of Sports Medicine Institute, partnered with organizers to set the health protocols and appoint Medical Coordinators to ensure stringent health and safety procedures were followed at the event.
The experiences gathered from this event are to be used to establish the Sports Event Health Protocol, a policy document to host safe-events in the future. The document will assess risks and offer athletes and other stakeholders’ guidelines to host future events.
Cyclists used Oxypura Care masks during the race. The mask contains four layers of protection, including a particulate matter filter and activated carbon filters.
The Sri Lankan made product has been tested by internationally recognised laboratories, Nelson Laboratories in the USA and Bureau Veritas in Hong Kong, and has been proven to have a virus filtration efficiency of more than 98%, a bacteria filtration efficiency of more than 99%, and recommended use of 14 wash cycles.
Notably, Puritas also added the SPORTEC mask to its portfolio recently. The mask has been specially designed and manufactured for those with an active lifestyle, especially for those exercising and working out. While it provides the same degree of protection as the Care mask for the wearer, it has been stylishly designed with a one-way valve to assist smooth exhalation and provide comfort during use.
Puritas also has several active carbon-based household products, such as FRESKO, Mr. Fresh and Bin Fresh, a 100% bio-degradable eco-friendly activated carbon air purifier pack, which adsorbs and rapidly removes unpleasant odours in the surroundings.
Celebrating a quarter-century this year, Puritas is a specialist in water and wastewater purification. The company purifies 5 million litres of raw water, 9.2 million litres of wastewater and 18 million litres of sewage in Sri Lanka every day. Puritas is in the business of purification on a national level and provides activated carbon solutions for various applications in Sri Lanka such as water and air purification, decolourising applications and deodorising applications.

Lume Gave Me a Yeast Infection: My Experience and How I Dealt With It. When I first discovered Lume, a popular brand of personal care products, I was excited to try their innovative and supposedly gentle formula. Their marketing promised odor control without the use of harsh chemicals or fragrances. However, little did I know that my enthusiasm would soon be replaced by frustration and discomfort. After using Lume products for just a few weeks, I found myself dealing with a stubborn yeast infection, leaving me to question the supposed safety and effectiveness of this seemingly revolutionary product. In this personal narrative, I’ll share my experience with Lume, the symptoms I faced, and the solutions I discovered to combat this unexpected side effect. While everyone's experience with personal care products may vary, it’s essential to shed light on my own story in the hopes of raising awareness and encouraging others to be vigilant about their own health and well-being.
How Toxic Is Lume?
Lume, the popular odor control product, has gained attention in recent years for it’s effectiveness in combatting body odor. However, concerns about it’s toxicity have also arisen. Is Lume toxic? It’s been carefully formulated and tested to ensure it’s safety for use on the body. However, it’s important to note that Lume isn’t intended for consumption. Just like any other personal care product, ingesting Lume isn’t recommended and can potentially cause harm.
This includes avoiding contact with sensitive areas such as the eyes and mucous membranes. If any adverse reactions occur, such as redness, irritation, or itching, it’s always best to discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. It’s also important to note that individual allergies and sensitivities can vary, so what works well for one person may not work well for another.
If you’ve experienced a yeast infection after using Lume, it’s essential to understand that Lume itself doesn’t directly cause yeast infections. Yeast infections are typically caused by an overgrowth of Candida, a fungus that naturally resides in the body. Factors such as hormonal changes, poor hygiene, or certain medications can contribute to the development of a yeast infection.
They can provide guidance on managing the infection and suggest alternative products that may be more suitable for your personal needs. Remember, everyones body is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. Open communication with healthcare professionals is crucial in addressing any concerns or issues related to personal care and hygiene.
The Ingredients in Lume and Their Potential Effects on the Body
Lume is a brand that offers various personal care products, including deodorants and lotions. While these products are generally considered safe, it’s important to note that everyone’s body chemistry is unique, and individual reactions may vary.
Lume’s deodorants contain ingredients such as magnesium hydroxide, zinc ricinoleate, and botanical extracts like arrowroot powder and calendula. These ingredients are commonly found in natural deodorants and are generally well-tolerated by most people.
However, some individuals may experience allergic reactions or skin irritations to certain ingredients. This can manifest as redness, itching, or even yeast infections. It’s worth noting that yeast infections aren’t common side effects of using Lume, but they can occur if there’s an allergic reaction or if the product alters the natural pH balance of the intimate area.
If you believe Lume has caused a yeast infection or any discomfort, it’s important to discontinue use and consult with a healthcare professional. They can provide guidance on how to manage the infection and recommend suitable alternatives if needed.
To avoid any potential skin reactions or infections, it’s always wise to patch test new products on a small area of skin before applying them liberally. Additionally, maintaining proper hygiene, not sharing personal care items, and wearing breathable fabrics can help reduce the risk of infections.
Remember, everyone’s experience with personal care products can differ, so it’s essential to listen to your body and seek medical advice if needed.
While Lume may have touted it’s ability to eliminate body odor and be gentle on sensitive skin, the reality was quite different for me. However, I took proactive measures to address the yeast infection, seeking medical advice and adhering to appropriate treatments. It’s crucial for individuals to prioritize their own health and well-being by consulting medical professionals, listening to their bodies, and making informed decisions about the products they use. Ultimately, this experience has reminded me of the significance of being vigilant and careful when it comes to personal care choices, and to never underestimate the potential consequences that may arise.

Tesla announced on Friday that it has withdrawn its application for state aid for its proposed battery factory near Berlin, after CEO Elon Musk declared his company’s opposition to government subsidies.
The European Union agreed a proposal in January that includes offering state funding to Tesla, BMW, and other companies to encourage the development of electric vehicle batteries and help the union reduce imports from China, which leads the industry.
According to the plan, Tesla will receive 1.14 billion euros ($1.28 billion) in EU funds for its battery plant in Gruenheide, Brandenburg, with a final decision expected by the end of the year.
“Tesla has informed the Federal Ministry of Economics and the Brandenburg Ministry of Economics… it is withdrawing its IPCEI application for state funding for the battery factory in Grünheide,” a Tesla spokesperson said, referring to European subsidies for so-called “Important Projects of Common European Interest.”
The decision would have no impact on the plant’s construction plans, according to the spokesperson.
“It has always been Tesla’s view that all subsidies should be eliminated,” Musk responded to a tweet from another user after Tesla announced it had withdrawn its funding proposal on Twitter.
“But that must include the massive subsidies for oil & gas. For some reason, governments don’t want to do that …,” Musk continued, straying from the topic of the manufacturing grant.
According to estimates from the German economy ministry, Tesla is investing 5 billion euros in the battery plant.
Meanwhile, a representative for the federal economy ministry stated that construction of a car production site near the battery facility, which Tesla has undertaken under pre-approved permits while it awaits final approval from the regional government, has made significant progress in the last few weeks.
According to the regional government’s website, the electric vehicle producer also filed for regional assistance from Brandenburg in November 2020.
This application had not been withdrawn, according to a spokesperson for the Brandenburg economic ministry.
Tesla’s application was for an undisclosed amount, although investments worth more than 100 million euros are typically awarded 6.8% of their value, according to the website.
Last week, the latest round of online consultations for the public to raise environmental and other issues about the vehicle factory and battery facility closed, and Musk has stated that he expects to formally start production by the end of the year and ramp up as rapidly as feasible.
Musk has expressed his dissatisfaction with German laws and processes, writing to authorities in April that the country’s complex planning requirements were at odds with the urgency required to fight climate change.

عنوان مقاله [English]
Concinciding of wheat growth in post-anthesis period by water deficiency can result in reduction of current photosynthesis. In this circumstance stem-stored carbohydrate from pre-anthesis period had an important role in supporting assimilates for growing grain. An experiment was conducted in 2007-8 in experimental farm of Arsanjan Islamic Azad University, in order to investigation the quantity of stem reserves in different wheat cultivars of different height. The randomized block, split-plot design was used in the experiment. Main plots consisted of three irrigation regimes (full irrigation, only one irrigation in post-anthesis and without irrigation during post-anthesis period) and subplot consisted of six wheat cultivars (Marvdasht, Falat, Ghods, Karaj3, Adl and Kaveh). The results showed that water holding in post-anthesis period significantly reduced grain yield, biological yield, grain weight and stem weight. Grain yield, biological yield, harvest index, number of ear m-2, number of seed ear-1 and plant height significantly differed between cultivars. The interaction effects of cultivars and irrigation indicated that different cultivars respond differently to reduction of irrigation. By withholding post-anthesis irrigation the adverse effects of drought on grain weight and grain yield in tall cultivars was lower in comparison with dwarf cultivars. Losses of stem weight with irrigation withholding were higher in tall cultivars. These results indicated that tall cultivars have more stored reserves in stem, which can be used in unfavourable condition for grain filling. By the other word remobilization is higher in tall cultivars and this trait can be used for developing drought tolerance in breeding programs.

The Most Common Problems of Walk-in Coolers
If you need a walk-in cooler repair, you can easily find a company that will do it. The thing is that you need to know when you will need them. Having this appliance is important in any cafeteria, restaurant, or any business that is related to food. When the appliance breaks down, it can be hard to diagnose the issue without a professional.
In this article, you are going to find out what these common problems are so that you can easily diagnose your walk-in cooler. All you have to do is read on to learn more about them.
The door seals your walk-in cooler or freezer helps in keeping the cold and warm air out. When they age, the door seals are going to start wearing down and lose their grip, and the closure they set is off-kilter. When warm air becomes intrusive, condensation starts to form, encouraging wet floors, mold growth, and unsanitary conditions in general. It will become energy wasted because the refrigerator must work harder so the contents stay cold.
A commercial refrigerator specialist can easily fix this issue when they caulk seams using high-grade silicone that is mold resistant. You must also regularly check the heater strips on the freezer door, which must be warm to your touch. This element gives assurance that the door will not freeze shut and melts the ice buildup on the door frame.
This happens if the condenser is in a tight space and there is not enough airflow, which prevents heat from properly being released. This increases the temperature produced by the compressor and in turn, increases the power usage. The problem can be rectified when you regularly check coils and make sure that the condenser is ventilated properly.
When the coolant that keeps the cooler chilled starts to leak, you might notice that there is a weird smell inside and around the walk-in cooler. Leaks similar to this are normally found in the cooler or freezer is already old/outdated. That means it might be time to think of an upgrade to make sure it stays up and running.
This is most likely the worst problem of a walk-in cooler. The uneven temperatures lead to bad conditions because sub-cooled food can be dangerous to customers. There are a couple of causes of why the temperature fluctuates in your walk-in cooler. You must check the sub-cooling, operating pressure, and superheat to make sure they all operate in regular parameters. You can find these numbers in the operator manual. Most of the time, the cause might be just because the door is not sealing properly because of the age, or it lacks repair. The last culprit might be the compressor. If it shuts off before reaching the set temperature, then you might have to replace it.
Drain Pan is Clogged
While everyone creates a cold environment for the purpose of commercial refrigeration, the defrost cycle is also automatic which prevents ice buildup. If that happens, the melted ice will flow in a specific line that goes to a tray on the floor of the refrigerator known as the drain pan. This issue is normally because of the clog or line that delivers water.
If you need commercial refrigerators repairs DC, all you have to do is call so you can schedule with them.


Thursday the Wall Street Journal’s Daniel Henninger published a column called “Obama and the L-word.” In it he described with disgust and dismay the way the Obama administration has been playing fast and loose with the term “liar” to describe Mitt Romney since Romney trounced Obama in last week’s presidential debate. Henninger noted that the use of the term cheapens and coarsens the political discourse in the US in a manner that is unprecedented in US politics. He also noted rightly that this is not part of the American political tradition.
Mark Belling (our local talkshow host) just spent the first 2 hours of his program detailing all the lies biteMe told last night. What sickens me is how the sitting VP of the United States is allowed to brazenly LIE to the American people on a national stage & get away with it. What also sickens me is even if all the lies were exposed his base wouldn't care. Imagine that. Half the people in this country don't have enough self respect to care if their representatives lie to their face.
The economy is in the toilet, people need jobs, the Middle East is on fire, the world is closer to WWIII than ever and this silly, stupid, braggart buffoon thinks it's allllllllll just a big joke! More and more people are seeing him for the dam Fool that he is as well as an administration that makes us weaker at every opportunity!
Democrats have had dozens of "firsts" in politics since the Clintons brought corrupt Arkansas politics to DC. Until then a certain depth of corruption was left for local and State politics. It was thought brazen corruption would be exposed at the national level.
But Democrats were stunned at what the Clintons were able to get away with and it set a new standard for presidential behavior. And when the media showed their allegiance it then ballooned to the nastiness and overt corruption we have become accustomed to today. Republicans are kept in check with a total double standard and the only way to have honest governing is to put them in power where we know the media will do their job. Problem is: the media makes it their aim to see that Republicans cannot win elections. And there lies our dilemma.
The economy is still puttering along, which is to say it is still not strong enough to help a lot of average Americans. (Snip) The bottom line approach is not easily embraced by many Americans. There are those of us who continue to labor under the belief that work is a means of self-expression and that a job should contribute to the wholesome growth and sustainability of family and community. I believe the majority of Americans still hold to this view, but what would happen if our society as a whole resorted to the corporate model of life, that is, pursuing it through the bottom line?
I don´t normally display lawn signs or bumper stickers during political campaigns; I usually keep my voting preferences to myself. (That´s the point of secret ballots, right?) But the November 2012 elections got me charged up to the point where I felt the urge to do something public, and since my friends already knew how I felt, I didn´t think I would be divulging any secrets by doing so.
In Part One of this series, published on Monday, I used the word “Watergate” seven times, openly comparing the scandalous Obama administration to the scandalous Nixon administration. I didn’t know the half of it. Just hours after Part One ran, we all learned the disturbing news of the rogue Justice Department wiretaps on the Associated Press. Now, even the liberals in the MSM are in an uproar, and the chief target is Attorney General Eric Holder.
"Benghazi-gate," "IRS-gate," "AP-gate" -- it would seem the intrepid investigators in the dinosaur media, in an effort to repair their shredded reputations, are finally catching up to the truths known months or years ago to those of us who get our news from the internet. (snip) Hey, dinosaurs, now that we have your attention, we have a hot tip for you: there´s one big Obama lie that´s two years old that you completely missed. In fact, you suppressed the truth.
The reason the city rose to international prominence last week quietly left Graham Putnam & Mahoney Funeral Parlors in a nondescript van as night fell Wednesday. The unmarked van carrying the body of suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev glided out into the busy Main South traffic and past the throng of media vehicles that had been camped out in front of the funeral home for almost a week. One of a group of vans that had moved in and out of the parking lot that night, the van belonged to the mortuary.
I found myself in a group conversation that included one of the more instantly recognizable media figures -- someone who personifies the phrase "mainstream media." Since this isn´t something that happens every day, why not make the best of it? Why not ask this VIMP (Very Important Media Person) a question or two on the topics that I frequently criticize the press for not covering? The problem was how to do so without unduly alarming the poor thing. My favorite kinds of questions might be distressing to VIMPs who never ask them, or even seem to think of them.
Many in the American Jewish community are aghast to discover that President Obama is planning to appoint former Senator Chuck Hagel to serve as Defense Secretary. If you want the skinny on how Hagel has come to be known as one of the few ferociously anti-Israel senators in the past generation, Carl from Jerusalem at Israel Matzav provides it. Meantime, all I can say is I don’t understand how anyone can possibly be surprised. (snip) Obama isn’t stupid. He picks fights he thinks he can win.
It is hard to gain perspective in the heat of an election battle, particularly when the power of persuasion is driven not by the clarity of an ideological vision, but by the billions in political advertising dollars. Perhaps that is why throughout this bitter and torturous presidential campaign, which began the moment President Barack Obama was elected in 2008, the battle has primarily been fought on economic grounds — one side arguing that the economy which tanked in 2008 was getting better, the other saying it was not, and both sides saying the government needs to reduce spending.
The incredible destruction left behind by Hurricane Sandy provides a gut check to those who want to privatize most, if not all, federal services. Even Republican presidential candidate Mitt “the myth” Romney released a statement, which seems to support the robust presence the Federal Emergency Management Agency is taking in ongoing recovery efforts in the impacted cities and towns along the Eastern seaboard. “I believe that FEMA plays a key role in working with states and localities to prepare for and respond to natural disasters,” the statement read.
The Massachusetts Business Alliance for Education, founded with the goal of giving every child the education necessary to succeed in the changing marketplace, was the powerbroker behind the Massachusetts Education Reform Act of 1993. The organization spearheaded an unprecedented groundswell of collaboration between Massachusetts educators and policymakers. Former Gov. Bill Weld eventually signed off on the legislation, once a charter school provision was added.
Only three weeks away from the U.S. presidential elections facing off a tie between the two parties, unverified photographs of President Obama’s wedding band have been published online, claiming the ring to have the Islamic declaration of faith, known in Arabic as ‘Shahada.’ World Net Daily (WND), a conservative online news agency, initially reported on Wednesday that Obama’s wedding band has the inscription of the first part of the Islamic Shahada: “There is no other god but Allah.”
Imagine, pre-9/11/12, that you were responsible for arranging the defense of the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Would you have considered American interests and personnel best protected by bringing in a local security outfit called the February 17 Martyrs Brigade? The question has yet to come up in House hearings, but I think it holds the key to the Obama administration's betrayal of the American people in "Benghazi-gate."
In 2008 and then again in 2012, after retired four-star General Colin Powell endorsed and then voted for Barack Obama, the former Secretary of State´s sanity was already in question. At least now, after having his email account hacked by high-level security-breacher Guccifer, Colin Powell´s besmirching of the Republican Party´s "shift to the right" and "identity crisis" finally makes sense. It seems that for years the mannerly and always professional Colin Powell has been cyber-comporting with a 46-year-old Romanian European Parliament member, Social Democrat, and past spokesperson for Romanian president Ion Iliescu named Corina Cretu
Conservatives have for years attempted to put our finger upon precisely why Barack Obama strikes us as queer in precisely the way he does. There is an alienness about him, which in the fever swamps is expressed in all that ridiculous Kenyan-Muslim hokum, but his citizen-of-the-world shtick is strictly sophomore year — the great globalist does not even speak a foreign language. Obama has been called many things — radical, socialist — labels that may have him dead to rights at the phylum level but not down at his genus or species. His social circle includes
For nearly a year, we have had no answer to why the administration lied about Benghazi — why it told the world, not to mention the parents of our murdered SEALs at the funeral of their sons, that the cause of that fatal conflagration was an anti-Islamic video no one saw, when the various arms of our executive branch (White House, State and intelligence) already knew, or strongly suspected, it was a terror attack orchestrated by al-Qaeda affiliates. You only have to read the now infamous talking points to know that. That this lie was deeply immoral is obvious.
He thought he was a woman trapped in a man’s body — but it turns out he’s “just another boring straight guy.” ABC News editor Don Ennis strolled into the newsroom in May wearing a little black dress and an auburn wig and announced he was transgender and splitting from his wife. He wanted to be called Dawn. But now he says he suffered from a two-day bout of amnesia that has made him realize he wants to live his life again as Don. “I accused my wife of playing some kind of cruel joke, dressing
WASHINGTON — Former Massachusetts lawmaker Barney Frank revealed that he doesn’t believe in God. During Friday’s appearance on HBO’s “Real Time With Bill Maher,” Frank, who championed the decriminalization of pot while serving in the House of Representatives, admitted to smoking marijuana and being an atheist. “You were in a fairly safe district. You were not one of those congress people who would have to worry about every little thing,” Maher said to Frank. “You could come on this show and sit next to a pot-smoking atheist and it wouldn’t bother you.”
The truth about Benghazi, the Associated Press/James Rosen monitoring, the IRS corruption, the NSA octopus, and Fast and Furious is still not exactly known. Almost a year after the attacks on our Benghazi facilities, we are only now learning details of CIA gun-running, military stand-down orders, aliases of those involved who are still hard to locate, massaged talking points, and the weird jailing of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula. We still do not quite know why Eric Holder’s Justice Department went after the Associated Press or Fox News’s James Rosen — given that members of the administration were themselves illegally leaking
Washington--As hundreds of commuters emerged from Amtrak and commuter trains at Union Station on a recent morning, an armed squad of men and women dressed in bulletproof vests made their way through the crowds. The squad was not with the Washington police department or Amtrak’s police force, but was one of the Transportation Security Administration’s Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response squads — VIPR teams for short — assigned to perform random security sweeps to prevent terrorist attacks at transportation hubs across the United States.(Snip)With little fanfare, the agency best known for airport screenings has vastly expanded its reach
A poll released Friday by Public Policy Polling found that Alaska voters would pick former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over the state´s former Republican governor, Sarah Palin, if the two women were to face off in the 2016 presidential election. Clinton led with 49 percent in the hypothetical match-up, with Palin at 40 percent, a nine-point gap. As of July 3, Republicans comprised 27 percent of the state´s registered voters and Democrats made up just 14 percent. The last time Alaskans opted for the Democrats´ presidential candidate was in 1964. Clinton trails five other hypothetical GOP candidates –
In an interview for The Guardian Weekend magazine, actor Matt Damon recently weighed in with his thoughts on how President Barack Obama has handled the scandals that have engulfed his administration since the spring. Damon, a vocal supporter of the president since his 2008 campaign for national office, said that Obama is overcompensating for his lack of military background with his tough response to controversies like how the government is responding to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden. The actor said that Obama is allowing himself to “get bullied” and is acting as though is “manhood”
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus threatened to pull the group’s partnership with NBC and CNN for 2016 GOP presidential primary debates if the networks moved ahead with plans to air films on Hillary Clinton. “If they have not agreed to pull this programming prior to the start of the RNC’s Summer Meeting on August 14, I will seek a binding vote stating that the RNC will neither partner with these networks in 2016 primary debates nor sanction primary debates they sponsor,” Preibus said in a statement.

If these new noise cancelling Beats by Dre headphones really can help you tune out Skip Bayless I may shell out for a pair.
This new ad for the headphones features Kevin Garnett tuning out his critics (be careful, a little NSFW language in there).
You need to suspend your belief in reality for this commercial to really work — the criticism of KG leaving for Brooklyn, even the current criticism of the Nets, is not nearly that intense. Nobody is throwing eggs at him on a team bus coming into games. Also, when players get off a team bus at the arena they do not have to pass a gauntlet of angry fans yelling slurs at them. The NBA is not some European soccer match.
Still, nice headphones.
Hat tip to Rob Mahoney of The Point Forward at SI, who would throw eggs at KG if he got the chance.

It’s not every day that New York gets to pick a new Chief Judge of the State to lead the court system in new directions and head the State’s top court. In fact, since the Commission on Judicial Nomination was created in 1977, it has had the chance to send the Governor only six lists of potential nominees to fill the Chief Judge’s seat.
Who has been on those past lists is interesting, and could help to forecast who Governor Kathy Hochul is most likely to choose from the Commission’s latest list. Let’s start in the beginning. In 1979, the Commission was asked, for its first official act, to fill Chief Judge Charles Breitel’s open seat. On that list were seven sitting and former judges: three from the Court of Appeals, three from the Appellate Division, and one from Supreme Court. Ultimately, the Governor chose Court of Appeals Associate Judge Lawrence Cook to become the new Chief Judge
In 1985, Chief Judge Cooke’s seat was up, and the Commission again selected seven judges for the list to send to the Governor. One Associate Judge on the Court of Appeals, three Appellate Division justices, two federal judges, and a Surrogate. And again, the Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals, Sol Wachtler, won out and was seated as the State’s top judge and administrator.
In 1993, when Sol Wachtler stepped down, the Commission’s list had five sitting judges on it: two from the Court of Appeals and three from the Appellate Division. There were also two private practitioners, but when the time came for the Governor to make the pick, it was Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals Judith Kaye who became our first woman Chief Judge. Chief Judge Kaye was then reappointed as Chief Judge in 2007, out of a list that contained only two other judges. But that list was but a formality, because everyone knew from the outset that Chief Judge Kaye was going to be the pick.
When Chief Judge Kaye reached mandatory retirement age the next year, the Commission’s list had four sitting judges–two from the Court of Appeals and two from the Appellate Division–and three private lawyers. Again, when the pick was in, the Governor sent Presiding Justice of the First Department Jonathan Lippman to the Chief Judge’s seat. That’s five out of five Chief Judge nominations that went to sitting judges, four who were Associate Judges on the Court of Appeals itself and PJ Lippman from the Appellate Division.
And finally in 2015, when Chief Judge Lippman had to retire, the Commission’s list was different. It did not have a single sitting judge on it. None from the Court of Appeals. None from the Appellate Division. It was full of six private lawyers and a sitting District Attorney. And we all know how that one worked out. The Governor picked Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore to lead the State’s judiciary.
So, of the six past nominations for a Chief Judge vacancy, New York governors have chosen five sitting judges and an elected District Attorney when picking a sitting judge simply wasn’t an option. That’s a pretty long historical trend, and would appear, to me at least, to inform who might be next to lead to the Court of Appeals.
The Commission’s List for Chief Judge DiFiore’s Open Seat
For Chief Judge DiFiore’s vacancy, the Commission received 41 applications, 22 from women and 17 from candidates with diverse backgrounds. After interviewing 17 of the applicants, the Commission narrowed its list down to the chosen seven: four sitting judges (one from the Court of Appeals, two from the Appellate Division, and one Judge of the Court of Claims), and three attorneys of distinction from outside the courts. It’s quite an impressive list:
The first thing that jumps out to me is that this is a list giving the Governor a number of chances to choose the first ________ Chief Judge. Acting Chief Judge Cannataro, if picked, would be the first openly gay Chief Judge. Presiding Justice LaSalle would be the first latino Chief Judge. Justice Oing would be the first Asian Judge of the Court of Appeals, not to mention its first Asian Chief Judge. Judge Richardson-Mendelson would be the first black woman made Chief Judge. And Corey Stoughton would be the first public defender-type to be named the Chief. A list of firsts, indeed.
So what does the Governor want in a new Chief Judge? Usually, we just have to guess. But this time the Governor expressly told us what she was looking for. In an op-ed in the Daily News, Governor Hochul laid out two primary criteria for who she would like in a new Chief Judge:
Our Court of Appeals, New York’s court of last resort, has always been a crown jewel of justice. Going back to Chief Judge Benjamin N. Cardozo’s tenure as chief judge in the early 1900s, and even earlier, the court was renowned for its persuasive and thoughtful decisions — on issues ranging from protecting consumers, to advancing civil rights and the right to effective counsel.
Against the backdrop of this proud tradition, I am looking to select a chief judge to lead the court in a time of both great challenges and opportunities.
First, we need a leader who, through intelligence and conviction, can unite the existing court so that it speaks in a strong and respected voice.
The U.S. Supreme Court has spoken — with decisions such as Dobbs vs. Jackson, taking away a woman’s right to choose, and New York State Rifle and Pistol Association vs. Bruen, tossing a century-old law protecting New Yorkers from the proliferation of guns. We are now relying on our state courts more than ever to protect our rights. We need our courts to defend against this Supreme Court’s rapid retreat from precedent and continue our march toward progress.
Second, we need a leader who can effectively manage the diverse and complex courts across the state. We have family courts, criminal courts, commercial courts, civil courts, housing courts, mental health courts, domestic violence courts and other community, trial and appellate courts. Because of the determination that jurors needed to be six feet apart during COVID, criminal cases slowed to a crawl. The pandemic took a major toll on the operations of the courts and our new chief judge must work aggressively to return court activity, especially criminal proceedings, to pre-pandemic levels to protect public safety.
The Governor is looking for a thought leader who can bring the Court together, and who has a significant administrative background to bring the New York courts back from the pandemic-era that Chief Judge DiFiore oversaw. That’s not easy criteria to satisfy. But within the next week or so, the Governor will have to make that pick. Here’s who I think best fits.
Who Will Be the Next Chief Judge of New York
After thinking about the history of Chief Judge nominees over the last five decades and what the Governor has said she wants in a new Chief, my list surprised even me.
The Frontrunner – Hon. Edwina G. Richardson-Mendelson
Judge Richardson-Mendelson is my front runner pick for a number of reasons. First, she served for many years as the Administrative Judge of the New York County Family Courts. There may not be a harder job in all of the New York Courts. And she managed those courts so well that Chief Judge DiFiore selected her to be the Deputy Chief Administrative Judge for Justice Initiatives, which includes the responsibility to run the Equal Justice in Courts Initiative and implement the recommendations of Special Adviser on Equal Justice, Jeh Johnson, in his October 2020 report examining racial bias in the state court system. She has the most court administration experience on this entire list, without much question.
Before joining the Court system, Judge Richardson-Mendelson she obtained her Master of Philosophy and a Ph.D. in criminal justice and worked for the Legal Aid Society and the Sanctuary for Families Center for Battered Women’s Legal Services. While she was back in school for her advanced degrees, she served as assigned counsel in. Family Court, representing parents who couldn’t otherwise afford representation.
The most administrative experience on the list, experience protecting the rights of those who most need it, with a J.D. and Ph.D. And did I mention that she would be the first black woman who would be chosen as the Chief Judge? Those seems like winning qualities to me.
The Favorite – Acting Chief Judge Anthony Cannataro
When I first looked at the list, Acting Chief Judge Cannataro stood out as the clear pick. He’s currently the acting Chief, has sat on the Court for a year, and has extensive administrative experience from before he was appointed to the Court. He would be New York’s first openly gay Chief Judge.
But here’s the issue: Judge Cannataro is not the intellectual leader who could unite the Court and bring together its divided factions. In the past year, Judge Cannataro hasn’t been able to sway the normally dissenting judges from their positions to allow the Court to speak with one voice, certainly not in the redistricting case. Even as Acting Chief Judge, the rate of dissent at the Court has stayed about the same. That is problematic when the Governor said she wants a thought leader who can unite the Court.
The Appellate Division Presiding Justice – Hon. Hector D. LaSalle
Presiding Justice Hector LaSalle has some significant administrative experience after running the Second Department for the past year-plus. That’s not an easy task, to be sure. He’s been vouched in to sit on the Court of Appeals before, for the Daily Fantasy Sports case and ended up casting the deciding vote. He’s a Democrat, and would be State’s first latino Chief Judge. But Presiding Justice LaSalle is not the kind of intellectual leader who can help restore the Court’s image as a leading protector of equal rights throughout the nation.
The Intellectual Appellate Division Justice – Hon. Jeffrey K. Oing
I’m surprised that it has taken this long for Justice Oing to make a final list of potential nominees to the Court of Appeals. I thought it could have happened back when Judge Leslie Stein announced her surprise retirement two years ago. He would have been a great pick then, and he’s a great pick now. Justice Oing has served on the First Department since 2017, was the first Asian American judge appointed to New York County’s Commercial Division, and served on the trial bench for 14 years before his elevation to the Appellate Division. Justice Oing also served as Deputy General Counsel for New York City, handing matters involving the City Council, and has been roundly recognized as an excellent jurist. His administrative experience is limited, but he did run the commission to draw district voting lines in New York City. While that may be a jump to running all of New York courts, nominating the first Asian American to the Court of Appeals would be an accomplishment for any governor.
The Yale Law Professor – Abbe R. Gluck
There’s no real question who the intellectual leader of the Commission’s list is. Abbe Gluck is a Yale JD and serves as a Professor at both Yale Law School and Yale Medical School. She clerked at the Second Circuit and then for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg at the US Supreme Court. And is well known to be the smartest lawyer in any room she is in. She even headed up the White House COVID-19 Response. Whether she could unite the Court using her intellect is the question. And her administrative experience is limited. And she’s not a sitting judge currently. All those things say to me that she’s not going to be the new Chief Judge, though she would be a fantastic addition to the Court.
The Dark Horse – Alicia Ouellette
The President and Dean of Albany Law School, Alicia Ouellette, may not be a known commodity outside of Albany (and the NY law school dean community). She is a well-respected health law scholar and, most importantly, she brought the law school from a place of significant financial distress to the thriving place it has become. Dean Ouellette also clerked at the Court of Appeals for Hon. Howard A. Levine (my judge!), and then was an associate for a year at my firm. She joined the Appeals and Opinions division of the NY Solicitor General’s office, where she argued more than 100 appeals before the Appellate Division, the Court of Appeals, and the Second Circuit.
Dean Ouellette has the appellate chops and the administrative experience to bring the Court together, and she used to work there. I think she’d be a great pick, though an unlikely one.
The First Public Defender – Corey L. Stoughton
Corey Stoughton is NYC Legal Aid’s Attorney-in-Charge of the Criminal Defense Special Litigation Unit, and is well known for her work at the New York Civil Liberties Union and at the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division before that. She graduated from Harvard Law and Michigan for undergrad, and would be a fantastic addition to the Court. But she just doesn’t have the administrative experience necessary to run the entire New York court system.
That’s my best guess. What do you think? Agree / disagree? I’d love to hear some dissent. And soon enough, we won’t have to guess any longer. We’ll just have a new nominee for Chief Judge of the State of New York.
5 Replies to “Who Should New York Hail as the Next Chief Judge of the State?”
Your top choice makes a lot of sense. Factually, I would note that Corey Stoughton is not a public defender – she has never acted in that capacity, but only in an affirmative litigation role.
If the state Senate gets their way, it’ll be Stoughton. LaSalle is probably the best choice from “a development of New York law” standpoint, but Richardson-Mendelson is probably the favorite at this point.


Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal through hammering, pressing or rolling. These compressive forces are delivered with a hammer or die. There are many categories that forgings can be put under according to the temperature at which it is performed-cold, warm or hot forgings. Various metals can be forged.
There are a few basic methods or processes to make a forged part: Hot forgings, Cold forgings, Open dies forgings or seamless rolled ring forgings, there are many more however these are the most common.
Nothing beats forgings for strength or reliability; advances in forging technology have expanded the range of size, shapes and properties available in forged products to meet an increasing variety of design and performance requirements. Forgings are used where strength, reliability and resistance to shock and fatigue are vital requirements.
Forgings can be found in the automotive and truck industry, these are commonly found at points of movement or stress, some cars may even have more than 250 forgings, most of these would usually be produced from carbon or alloy steel. Forged engine and powertrain components include connecting rods, transmission shafts and gears, crankshafts, drive shafts and clutch hubs.
Forgings can also be found in the Aerospace industry, high strength to weight ratio and structural reliability improve performance, range and payload capabilities of aircraft. Ferrous and non-ferrous forgings are used in helicopters, planes, commercial jets and military aircraft. Many aircraft are designed with forging in mind and contain more than 450 structural forgings as well as hundreds of engine parts that are also forged. The forged parts may include bulkheads, wing roots, hinges, engine mounts, brackets, beams, landing gear cylinders and struts. In jet turbine engines iron, nickel and cobalt-based superalloys are forged into buckets, blades, couplings, discs, chambers and shafts- all of these will require high yield tensile and creep-rupture strengths, also they would require good ductility at temperatures ranging between 1000 and 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. Forgings of stainless steels, titanium and aluminium find similar applications at lower temperatures. Forged missile components of titanium, columbium and superalloys provide unduplicated mechanical and physical properties under severe service conditions. Aluminium structural beams for boosters, titanium motor cases and nuclear engine reactor shields are used in the space shuttle programme.

Questor says: Avoid
Southern Cross Healthcare
After all, this is a company that was worth 606p in November 2007 and which, as one of the UK's largest carers of the elderly, is positioned to take advantage of the country's ageing population.
Southern Cross cares for 31,000 residents in 750 locations, therefore it is somewhat extraordinary that it is valued at just £10m. Yes, this company has problems, but what if it sorts them out?
Well, Questor believes buying the shares would be a mistake. The fact is, Southern Cross needs something to change in order to rebuild – either a takeover, a renegotiation of rents, or a new state-funding model for elderly care – and there is no guarantee as to the form this will happen. There is simply too much doubt surrounding the company's performance and future.
Southern Cross admits that it is in crisis and has hired KPMG to seek a deal with landlords on a "radical agenda". Jamie Buchan, chief executive, believes a solution can be reached. However, Questor cannot be sure what shareholders will be left with and how much they will have to pump in to support the ailing business.
Once a darling of the stock market, Southern Cross's problems began when its model of developing properties and then selling them in sale-and-leaseback deals broke down. The financial crisis meant it struggled to sell assets.
Now, the company is under pressure from local authorities cutting the number of patients they send to care homes and the fees they pay – due to public spending cuts – and leases that impose a 2.5pc annual rise in rents on Southern Cross's care homes and make it difficult to exit failing locations.
With the latest warning from Southern Cross that its trading outlook "has seen a decline" since February 8, analysts at Panmure Gordon scrapped their annual forecasts "until we have clarification of the extent of the deterioration".
Even at 6p, there is a lot of work for the company's management to do before investors should consider Southern Cross shares. Avoid.

Rustom Producer Prerna Arora Out On Bail, Says I Am Back To Producing More Films
Prerna Arora Out On Bail, Says I Will Produce More Films
Prernaa Arora, who was arrested for duping Vashu Bhagnani for over Rs 30 Crores is now out of jail on bail. The producer who spent almost 8 long months in jail feels the jail time has taught her a lot many things. During a recent media interaction, the producer apologised to whomsoever she has hurt, including Vashu Bhagnani and she also revealed that she was in need of a mentor who could show her the right way. Arora also admitted to having made more than one mistake.
Her banner KriArj entertainment was founded by her and Arjun n. Kapoor. Their first production was Rustom that starred Akshay Kumar in the lead role in the year 2016. Post that two more films featuring Khiladi Kumar followed Padman and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. The producer had a number of films with some big actors to her name, which included Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao starrer Fanney Khan and John Abraham ’s Parmanu. But things got very ugly between her and John and the constant tiffs between the two resulted in a huge delay in the release of the film and things didn’t quite end there. The was also a legal spat.
Post that things took a turn for the worse for Prernaa, producer Vashu Bhagnani’s Pooja Entertainment soon accused her of financial discrepancies and that is when the Mumbai Economical Offence Wing took her into custody.
What’s worth noting is Prernaa had also co-produced Anushka Sharma ’s horror flick Pari and Sara Ali Khan ’s debut vehicle Kedarnath is now out of bail and she does finally have some respite. During the media interaction she stated, she is back to produce more films even though she will take some time to settle down. Arora also thanked her parents for staying by her in trying times.

New Library Digital Collection Commemorates the 75th Anniversary of Gone with the Wind
This week marks the 75th anniversary of the premiere of David O. Selznik’s Gone with the Wind, a film that these many years later remains a mainstay in American popular culture. To commemorate the anniversary of the movie’s release, the Birmingham Public Library’s webmaster and the Department of Archives and Manuscripts created the digital collection Gone with the Wind and Back Again: Birmingham and an Indelible American Film. Made up of newspaper articles, an illustrated Gone with the Wind program, and letters from Gone with the Wind author Margaret Mitchell to former Birmingham mayor George Ward, this collection highlights a number of connections between Gone with the Wind and the Magic City while also placing these documents and the film itself in their broader historical and cultural contexts.
The digital collection can be viewed at http://www.bplonline.org/resources/exhibits/GWTW/default.aspx

Telit and Zucchetti Ambrogio Robot Deliver Cutting Edge Technology to Your Lawn
Telit’s end-to-end IoT solution enables an eco-friendly, fully-electric, zero-emissions autonomous lawn mower
London, June 9, 2017 – Telit, a global enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced that Zucchetti Centro Sistemi (ZCS), an Italian multi-business company, is using Telit’s IoT platform, embedded SIMs and GE910-GNSS cloud-ready cellular module in the Ambrogio Robot, an robotic lawn mower. ZCS was founded as a software development company and later extended its activities into robotics, automation and renewable energy. Since 2000, ZCS has been designing, manufacturing and distributing innovative hi-tech robots, by combining information technology, electronics and mechanics expertise and the highest professional standards.
ZCS created the Ambrogio auto mower to improve the quality of lawns and to make life easier, allowing consumers to save time and money while keeping their lawn in perfect condition. The mower cuts grass autonomously and automatically, needing no help or assistance once installed. Ambrogio runs according to programmed intervals, alternates cutting cycles with recharging and can mow an entire lawn without missing an area. The grass clippings fall back into the lawn as a natural fertilizer and results in a greener, lusher eco-friendly lawn using a fully-electric, zero-emission mower.
Ambrogio is a highly intelligent evolved robot with patented sensors, advanced navigation, self-programming to optimize work times, and it varies blade speeds based on the height of the grass. By providing three fundamental building blocks – Platform, Connectivity and Module – Telit enabled the end-to-end communication from the robot to the Ambrogio Connect mobile app, in a faster and more reliable way. Data sent by the Robot is stored in the Telit IoT Platform, a cloud-based IoT subscription service, and is visualized by the mower’s connected app that remotely interacts with the robot in a secure way, leveraging Telit technology. With the app, consumers can manage and control the robot anytime and anywhere.
“We collaborated with Telit on the Ambrogio auto mower because we wanted to create a solution that aligned with our mission to create innovative, efficient and competitive products that are socially and environmentally responsible,” said Fabrizio Bernini, CEO of ZCS, “Telit’s end-to-end IoT solutions will allow us to create new opportunities for our robotics and automation markets.”
“ZCS selected Telit because we made it easy for them to launch, deploy and manage their IoT solution within a short period of time,” said Sammy Yahiaoui, EMEA Vice President of IoT Services Sales. “With our Telit IoT Portal, global SIM cards with custom data plans, and IoT Modules we are able to offer ZCS an industry-grade end-to-end solution that is managed in one service provider portal and is scalable across their entire product portfolio.”

This old church and cemetary were near the agility trial site, couldn't resist stopping and looking around. Was suprised to find the church open, it is in very good shape, even has a piano and small organ inside.
The balcony area was for "people of color", there is even a separate staircase in the back the gives access to the balcony. The church was originaly built in 1797 (see info below).
The cemetary was fascinating with many interesting stories; however, it started raining and I had to get to the trial, so will have to wait until the next time to explore more here.
This statue was at the T. Ed Garrison arena where the agility trial was held. The name of it is "Pure Pleasure", very fitting.

*Good News* Finally a perfect Bond Pun for my title.
* Bad News* Well, I confess I fucked up and gave you people the wrong info.
“Thunderball” wasn’t the last appearance for Mr. Connery, apparently he just need an extra year off, as this was the first film that came out two years after the last. He sure made an entrance as his first scene, after yet another awkward kiss, was “Why do Chinese girls taste different?” This would not be well received in this day and age but that’s a whole lotta beer and another story for another time. Speaking of liquid bliss the star of this cinematic adventure, and I use the word star loosely, is the key to the whole thing…
Keystone Ice, that is. (pretend you hear a sitcom laugh track after you read that)
Now read it one more time. Thank you for your cooperation.
This beer compared to the rest of the Ice family isn’t completely a lost cause, and please don’t judge me by that statement. Light Keystone is a slight love of mine and whatever they do with the “Ice” version isn’t to far off so I’m not completely hating this one.
(Photo credit: http://www.mackelvaughn.com)
This Bond has it all besides it being the most racist asian movie I’ve ever seen but looking past that it’s levels above Thunderball. I also love the thought of the Austin Powers movies really taking cues from multiple movies and it’s so cool to watch the original ideas. Being a self professed music buff I have to say that the Bond theme done by John Barry has to be one of the greatest movies themes in history. Another favorite of mine is John Carpenter’s Halloween theme which as the Bond theme, you can really play anywhere in several of their movies and it’s so identifiable you know something is about to happen.
Now that I’ve gotten my fanboy outburst out of the way, my beer is done and the set of this amazing movie is my reward. All in all I would say this was a win/win as the beer wasn’t completely disgusting and “You Only Live Twice” is so far the best Bond movie yet.
*completely off topic alert* If you’ve seen this movie or any of the previous ones, please feel free to comment and give your opinion as well. This is an open forum and I’d love to interact with my readers and get a dialogue open.
Let’s do it!

There’s way too much to this for us to describe, so continue on into the gallery to read the full sixteen-tweet controversy.

A significant majority of Americans favor congressional changes to save Medicare and Social Security amid concerns that both entitlement programs will become insolvent in the coming years.
Another 89 percent said that similar changes should be made to Medicare, according to the Nov. 1 poll.
The survey found that 90 percent of likely voters believe that 2024 congressional and presidential candidates should discuss making sure Social Security and Medicare are solvent.
“Proactive steps must be taken to reform these fiscally unsound programs or Americans will be faced with the consequences of their representatives’ blatant disregard for the uncomfortable truth,” he added.
The survey found that voters do not want the federal government to increase the age for eligibility. Nearly 60 percent of respondents said that raising the age by several years to access full Social Security benefits is unacceptable.
Only about 9 percent said that raising the age would be acceptable.
“This poll is a fiscal wake-up call to Congress and all presidential candidates,” Mr. Williams said.
The survey was conducted in August and included approximately 1,000 likely voters, the organization said.
Across-the-Board Cut?If nothing is done, benefits will be cut by about 25 percent across the board within the next 10 years or so, according to the Social Security Administration’s trustees in an estimate earlier this year.
“Currently, the Social Security Board of Trustees projects program cost to rise by 2035 so that taxes will be enough to pay for only 75 percent of scheduled benefits,” the trustees say on the agency’s website.
“This increase in cost results from population aging, not because we are living longer, but because birth rates dropped from three to two children per woman.
“Importantly, this shortfall is basically stable after 2035; adjustments to taxes or benefits that offset the effects of the lower birth rate may restore solvency for the Social Security program on a sustainable basis for the foreseeable future.”
A report released earlier this year indicated that the Social Security program is expected to run out of money by around 2033 due to slower-than-predicted economic growth.
But if no significant changes are made before 2034 to shore up its funds, about 66 million Americans could see a benefit reduction between 23 percent and 25 percent.
“The combined trust funds will be insolvent by 2034, when today’s 56-year-olds reach the full retirement age and today’s youngest retirees turn 73,” the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB) said in an analysis released in March.
If no action is taken, it warned, “All retirees regardless of age, income, or need will face a 20 percent across-the-board benefit cut, which will grow to 26 percent by the end of the 75-year projection window” upon insolvency of the program.
More Borrowing ForeseenHowever, the closer it gets to 2033, the less likely there will be benefit cuts, according to analysts. Benefit reductions typically are phased in slowly for future beneficiaries, so the impact of any cuts would not be adequate to achieve solvency.
“We’ve delayed so long that there are no plausible benefit reductions that can keep the trust fund from running dry in the 2030s,” said Andrew Biggs, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, in a report this year.
At the point of a 2033 crisis, an emergency injection of new revenue is most likely, said Paul Van de Water, senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
“Congress could allow the program to continue running deficits by changing the law to credit Social Security with additional income—in effect, it would be financing the program through borrowing,” he said.
That solution would avert sharp cuts, but it would further fuel public worries about Social Security. A 2020 AARP poll found that 57 percent of respondents are not confident about the future of Social Security, citing a lack of trust in the government to keep its promises and that “money is running out.”
Reuters contributed to this report.

Stepping away from the green beer and shamrocks, Nonie Thompson and The Celts are bringing St. Patrick’s Day back to its roots.
On Mar. 17, Thompson, with Eugene Rae on guitar and pennywhistle, Anne Lederman on the fiddle, Tom Leighton on the accordion and Paul Gribbon on the uillean pipe, will explore the traditional Celtic music of Ireland as The Celts. Part of the Registry Theatre’s 2017 Registry Roots Weekend, The Celts, along with Acadian folk musician Lennie Gallant, will be taking the audience back to the rolling green hills of the Emerald Isle.
“We would have gigs and people were drinking green beer and wearing shamrocks, but that isn’t the true meaning of St. Patrick’s Day. With Rae being Irish, he said he was going to do some research and write the real St. Patrick’s Day story,” she said of the Mar. 17 show. “We got a good band together and we just want to show people that the Irish people aren’t about drinking green beer and leprechauns. It is a beautiful, beautiful story. He has handpicked pictures that go along with the story. We have some big screens at the back of the stage and you are listening to the story, you are hearing the music and you are seeing the pictures. It is just wonderful.”
World-class dancer Daniel Carr will join The Celts on stage, sharing some of the traditional dances Ireland is known for.
“Daniel Carr was number-one in the world for highland dancing in 2012, and he is just a fantastic Celtic dancer as well,” said Thompson. “He is actually going to be putting his tap shoes on for the show to do a little bit of river dancing for the audience. He is just amazing. He really dazzles our audiences.”
She can’t wait to see it all come together.
“We love to put on a production. There just isn’t enough really good shows that have all the elements, and this one does,” she said.
Lennie Gallant will also be taking the stage for the weekend festival, sharing his folk, Celtic and country music styles with his fans. He has earned himself awards and nominations at the JUNOs, the Canadian Folk Music Awards and the East Coast Music Awards. Hailing from North Rustico, Prince Edward Island, Gallant has released 11 albums, performed at the Winter Olympics and is a recipient of the Order of Canada.
The Registry Roots weekend isn’t just about sitting back and enjoying some music and dancing, however. Lederman and Leighton will be hosting workshops for music lovers to attend and learn a thing or two.
The first workshop will take the audience on a trip through the Canadian fiddling tradition with Lederman on Mar. 18. The fiddling workshop is designed for intermediate fiddle players, but everyone is welcome to join in and have a listen. Later that afternoon, Leighton will be hosting a choir workshop, bringing together singers of every age group and ability, leading them in choral arrangements of Canadian folk songs.
Thompson says having workshops at the Registry Roots Weekend just enriches the experience for music fans.
“They just bring the entertainer in with the audience. You couldn’t find two better entertainers to run workshops than Anne and Tom. They are just wonderful. It allows the audience to go away with a bit of knowledge as well,” she said. “They can get some tips on certain things, but even if they just go away saying, ‘boy, that was fun.’ That is what the organizers were thinking of. It is just to give that little bit of festival workshop idea with the audience. We want to get them involved in a little bit.”
The 2017 Registry Roots Weekend runs from Mar 17-18, and tickets are sold separately for each event. Thompson and The Celts will be at the Registry Theatre on Mar. 17 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25. Gallant’s performance is already sold out, and he will be performing on Mar. 18 at 8 p.m. at the Registry Theatre.
The fiddling workshop with Lederman starts at 10 a.m. on Mar. 18. Tickets are $20 in advance, or $25 at the door. There are only 30 spaces left.
The choir song workshop starts at 1 p.m. on Mar. 18.
