Is Lana Del Rey Blacklisted From Ever Winning a Grammy?
The singer lost out on a Grammy trophy for the 11th time on Sunday (Feb. 4), leaving many fans to wonder if the star will ever take home the award. The alternative icon has received 11 nominations throughout her career but has never won one of music's most prestigious awards, despite her contributions to the alternative genre.
According to one viral theory, however, the infamous awards show snubs Del Rey on purpose.
It seemingly suggests that Grammy voters refuse to vote for Del Rey because of her highly criticized 2012 Saturday Night Live performance. After the performance, her vocal abilities were slammed and she was parodied in a later episode of the sketch comedy show.

The blind item was submitted by an anonymous Grammys voter to Hollywood race predictions website Gold Derby.
"I haven’t taken Lana Del Rey seriously as an artist since her infamous SNL performance and never will," the alleged voter says.
Per the submission, the alleged Grammy voter also claims he only voted for Taylor Swift's Midnights for Album of the Year simply because she's the biggest name, not necessarily because he thought it deserved the win based on artistic merit.
Notably, the alleged Grammy voter is a middle-aged male who leans toward country, Americana and rock music — a demographic Del Rey sang about in many songs early in her career.
However, it's worth noting that several iconic musicians have never won Grammys. Katy Perry has been nominated 13 times and never managed to come out on top at the awards show. Legendary rapper Snoop Dogg has 16 nods and has never won. And shockingly, Diana Ross has won a lifetime achievement award, but not an actual Grammy despite being nominated 13 times.
Still, for many fans, it's hard to ignore Lana Del Rey's Grammys snubs, especially since she's been an undeniable force in alternative music for so long.
Many of the alt-pop stars we know and love today have been inspired by the "Video Games" singer, even Swift.
Swift's most recent work and forthcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department, seemingly contains influence from Del Rey in both the music and aesthetic.
In Swift's 2024 Album of the Year acceptance speech — which she won over Del Rey's Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd — she said, "I think so many female artists would not be where they are and would not have the inspiration they have if it weren't for the work that [Lana has] done. I think she's a legacy artist, a legend in her prime right now. I'm so lucky to know you and to be your friend."

This is my latest short, CHEESE, completed in spring 2014. It stars recent Canadian Screen Award winner Natalie Lisinska, and veteran stage/screen actor Tony Nappo. It is also the first piece created by Aberrant Pictures, my production company with fellow co-prez Mackenzie Donaldson (assoc. producer Orphan Black).
You might find it interesting that my last name has Cheese in it. How perceptive. And that this is shot in a cheese shop. Doubly perceptive. Don't think this didn't help me get the location costs down.
Now onto what it's about: Jamie's no cheese connoisseur. And the macho cheese monger at Global Cheese knows it. So when Jamie buys some cheese for a party, she's unwittingly drawn into a macho superiority contest. Challenged to stand her ground, this is a cheese shop face-off between old-guard patriarch and new-generation feminism.

SBIR Phase I: Extraction of Lipids from Algal and Collection by Foam Fractionation
National Science Foundation
Agency Tracking Number:
Solicitation Topic Code:
Small Business Information
10621-J Iron Bridge Road, Jessup, MD, 20794-9381
Socially and Economically Disadvantaged:
AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop a method for lysing algae and recovering the oil without pre-concentrating or dewatering. A promising feedstock for biofuels is photosynthetic algae, which can produce lipids in much higher yields per acre then can terrestrial crops. Currently, the harvesting and extracting of the oil consumes 40%-60% of the energy required to produce biodiesel from algae. If the lipids and other compounds can be collected directly from the growth media these expenses would be entirely avoided. Cavitation is a good candidate as it has been shown to rupture algal cell membranes and release cell contents. Feasibility of hydrodynamic jet cavitation as a practical and easily scalable method will be demonstrated. This process will be inline and will use shear flow and local accelerations to create high pressure fluctuations in the liquid causing bubbles to grow and collapse using a fraction of the energy required for ultrasonic cavitation. Hydrodynamic submerged jet cavitation also creates clouds of fine microbubbles that can attach to lipids and lift them to the surface. By controlling the creation and collection of foam, the lipids can be concentrated and recovered from the growth media with minimal energy input. The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is the development of new fuel resources that would benefit the nation by providing a stable energy source, reducing gas imports and dependence on foreign nations, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Commercialization of microalgae for biofuels and nutritional uses is expanding rapidly in the USA and the world. Eliminating the major energy requirements of harvesting and extraction will increase the profitability of biofuel production from algae. Providing a technology capable of achieving this will be very marketable. This technology could also be applied to other biotechnologies in which microorganisms are used to produce high value products, such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, or biorefining. This process could be used for more economical and more sustainable use of bioresources. In addition, greater understanding of the behavior of microorganisms in hydrodynamic flows would benefit the fields of biotechnology, health care, and water purification.

A great cast of talented actors appear in this breathtaking film. I loved it. I was not familiar with the actual storyline, so for once I was excited to watch a film and not know the outcome of it. I enjoyed going through the highs and the lows, the hoping and wishing for Bathsheba (Carey Mulligan) to pick the right one of her three suitors (Matthias Schoenaerts, Michael Sheen and Tom Sturridge) and her despair when she didn’t.
Each portrayal of the characters was brilliant – particularly the horrible Sergeant Frank Troy (Tom Sturridge), who you hate, but also feel incredibly sorry for – Sturridge manges to place his character perfectly between the realm of just enough to hate him but not too much that you cannot pity his tragic circumstance. I am really beginning to rate Matthias Schoenaerts as an actor, 2015 was a very good year for him, with three great films under his belt. I look forward to seeing his future work, he is a pleasure to watch.

CHICAGO (CN) – Creating a circuit split, the Seventh Circuit ruled Friday that the National Labor Relations Act does not allow local municipalities to pass right-to-work laws.
The NLRA allows states to forbid compulsory union membership as a condition of employment. But Illinois, one of the last union-friendly states in the Rust Belt, has chosen not to enact such a law.
In 2015, the village of Lincolnshire, a far northern suburb of Chicago with a population of 7,000, took matters into its own hands and passed a right-to-work law that prohibits union security agreements.
Union supporters say these agreements address the “free rider” problem by requiring all employees who work in a union-protected job to pay union dues even if they are not a member of the union. Those who oppose unions say forcing non-union members to pay “fair-share” fees is a violation of the First Amendment.
A federal judge struck down the law as preempted by the NLRA, and the Seventh Circuit affirmed that decision on Friday.
“A local union-security provision would seriously undermine the objectives of the NLRA in any state that has not taken advantage of section 14(b) to forbid agency shops,” U.S. Circuit Judge Diane Wood said, writing for the three-judge panel. Judges William Bauer and Michael Kanne joined the opinion.
“Construed the way the village would have it, the ordinance would put employers in and around the village in an impossible position,” Wood added. “An employer with offices within the village whose workers’ predominant job situs is outside the village in a jurisdiction without a comparable law would risk committing an unfair labor practice if it refused to bargain over an agency-shop provision. The same employer would risk civil or criminal penalties if it misjudged ‘predominant’ job situs and did bargain over an agency-shop rule, if most of its work was done within the village.” (Emphasis in original.)
She noted that Illinois alone has more than 7,000 local governments, and called it an “administrative nightmare” to imagine if every municipality had its own labor laws.
“The consequences for the uniformity of national labor law would be catastrophic,” the 24-page opinion states.
The ruling creates a circuit split with the Sixth Circuit, which ruled in 2016 that the NLRA allows political subdivisions to make their own laws regarding union security clauses.
This split makes it likely that the case will be considered by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Lincolnshire ordinance sparked uproar when it was enacted. Illinois’ Democratic Legislature responded by passing a bill to not only prohibit local right-to-work laws, but make it a Class A misdemeanor for any local official to defy the ban, punishable by up to a year in jail.
This bill was vetoed by Republican Governor Bruce Rauner, and state lawmakers failed to override the veto by only one vote in October.

The Austin American Statesman ran a nice story on APD’s new tool for getting evidence against folks suspected of DWI.
If you are stopped for DWI, and you have a prior conviction within the last 5 years, are in an accident, have two or more prior convictions, had a child in the car, or suspect if you fail the attitude test, the officer can now go to a Magistrate and request a search warrant for your blood.
Suspects’ blood is drawn by a nurse at the Travis County Jail and taken to the Austin police forensic center, where it is tested. Results are quickly sent back to the DWI team and included in information sent to prosecutors.
As of this month, DWI officers have collected blood samples from 54 of more than 1,500 suspected drunken drivers.
Prosecutors say that law enforcement officers must show judges why they think the suspect is drunk, such as whether they smelled of alcohol or were swerving, but that judges almost without exception sign the warrants.
However, prosecutors support the practice and say it will reduce time courts spend on such cases. They say it also will ensure people who are not intoxicated go free.
Now, back to reality, a person is arrested, they are taken to jail and then the blood is drawn. In the best case scenario, the results are not going to be turned over to the defense attorney for months. In the mean time, the person that was arrested still has to hire an attorney and go through the system. Folks that are wrongfully arrested for DWI don’t get letter of apology from the police or the prosecutor. I have recently represented two folks that gave blood and the results came back with no alcohol or drugs in their system. They still got arrested, they still went to jail and it was up to me to get the results from the prosecutor and force them to dismiss the case.
I always wonder who is going to have to get stabbed with a needle before the Legislature is going to stand up and say, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
We already have a law on the books as to when a person is required to give blood. Transportation Code Â§724.013 states: Except as provided by Section 724.012(b), a specimen may not be taken if a person refuses to submit to the taking of a specimen designated by a peace officer. Now the Courts have said there is another exception….when a search warrant is issued. I think this is clearly a case of legislating from the bench, but that should be no surprise from the current Court of Criminal Appeals.

|Proposal: ||A conflict of interest arises when faculty develop amorous/sexual relationships with students in their classes, in campus organizations, or in any situation in which the student might fear reprisals or expect special treatment. Perceptions of retaliation or favoritism and liability for the University could ensue.|
The University’s Sexual Misconduct Policy “discourages” but does not prohibit these types of relationships between faculty and students. There have been cases where these types of relationships have been problematic, so it is important for the University to consider this issue specifically.
Develop a specific policy to prohibit consensual relationships between faculty and the students that they supervise or instruct, because of the inherent conflict of commitment and power imbalance.

Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), the Indonesian Muslim political party and world’s largest moderate Muslim movement, has made a significant break with Islamic conservatism in an unprecedented decision to abolish the legal category of “infidel” (kafir) for non-Muslims.
The groundbreaking move, apparently aimed at sweeping away Islamic doctrines often used by extremists to justify terrorism, was first announced at the NU national conference in West Java earlier in 2019.
Around 20,000 Muslim scholars gathered to create and endorse a new Islamic legal framework (fiqh). The new rulings include a raft of changes embracing the modern definition of nation state, instead of a caliphate, and recognising all as “fellow citizens”, irrespective of their religion or ethnicity, with equal rights and obligation to obey modern national laws.
Kafir has become a very derogatory and insulting term for non-Muslims. In classical Islamic law they are to be killed. Christians and Jews, “the people of the book”, have dhimmi status which means they are not to be killed so long as they submit themselves to the Islamic authorities and follow a number of demeaning and humiliating regulations that show their second-class status.
The decrees speak of the obligation of Muslims to “foster peace rather than wage war” wherever there is conflict in the world between Muslim and non-Muslim populations.
Indonesia is the world’s largest Muslim nation and the NU claims to have more than 90 million members. Its revisions of Islamic doctrine and legal rulings are expected to reverberate throughout the Muslim world.

PORTLAND, Ore. By engaging all five senses in a wrap-around headset, a team of U.K. scientists are aiming for what they call "real virtuality," a term used to describe their goal of rendering an experience so vivid that users cannot tell it from the real thing.
The researchers unveiled an early prototype of their "Virtual Cocoon" at a research conference in London this week.
Funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, the team led by professor David Howard, an electronics engineer at the University of York (England), will pool the expertise of university researchers across the U.K.
For more than a decade, virtual reality has promised to provide immersive environments that can simulate different places and times for applications as diverse as military training to archaeology.
Most previous attempts, however, concentrated on sight and hearing. Developers of the "Virtual Cocoon" claim it is the first attempt to render all five senses with a fidelity that rivals natural experiences.
Howard, an expert on sound analysis and synthesis, started the project with professor Alan Chalmers at the University of Warwick, an expert in high-fidelity graphics who recently invented a method of generating electronically pre-determined smell recipes. The senses of taste and touch will be similarly simulated with devices that engage the tongue and skin. All five sense inputs would be optimized to render a realistic experience for user, the researchers claim.
|A mock-up of the Virtual Cocoon, a virtual reality helmet that engages all five senses, was unveiled during the Pioneers 09 conference.|
Their goal is to use electronics and embedded computing devices in a lightweight helmet that is inexpensive and comfortable enough to deliver applications as diverse as education, business and environmental protection. The team also plans to evaluate the ethical issues involved in immersive virtual environments that cannot be distinguished from the real world.

We experience Alzheimer’s and its effect on family, listen to family lore and read family Facebook posts, relive war, and revive half-forgotten folktales and video games. In this deep examination of personal and communal memory, Jones blurs the lines between analog and digital, poetry and prose.

Remove Fibroma Or Skin Warts Very Easy
Before we move on to the actual process of removing skin warts, let us first tell you what these are.
Fibroma, or commonly known as skin warts, are benign skin growths which appear as tiny soft nodules the size of a few millimeters up to an inch in diameter. These growths are usually the same colour as the skin but can sometimes have a slight pigmentation. Although skin warts are not cancerous, which means they don’t represent a threat to one’s health, they are quite visible, increase in size and number as one grows old and thus become an aesthetic issue for most people who have them.
Skin warts commonly occur in places such as the neck, groin, armpits, the belly, under the breasts, the eyelids, or in other parts of the skin which are more exposed to the aging process. They usually occur in middle-aged people, however, they can appear in people of all ages. If you have fibromas on your skin, you needn’t worry because almost every person has them on their skin.
In spite of the fact that fibromas are not cancerous, they can still be rather problematic as they can bleed, grow bigger and cause other skin issues as well.
The warts’ size and number gradually increase with age and their number can vary from a few to several hundred. The cause of their occurrence is still not known, but genetics and skin thickness are considered major factors in their development.

This Week, Parquet Courts Went Late.
Each week, we take a survey of the local music scene and try to determine which acts in town are really putting in work and seeing it pay off. Which bands have the most intriguing shows coming up? Which bands are getting the most press around town? Which bands have accomplished the most notable feats of late? Based off these criteria, our music writers submit a list to be weighted and compiled into a master list revealed each week in this here space. We like to think it's fairly revealing. Check out our previous Buzz Rankings here.
A week into 2015, and Parquet Courts is already off to the races.
Sure, it's early, but it's hard to imagine too many bands will have a bigger week the rest of the year than the North Texas ex-pats are in the midst of experiencing right now.
Hopefully we'll be pleasantly surprised on that front. In the meantime, Parquet Courts is the talk of the town. It's no wonder, either, considering that, just a couple of days ago, the band performed “Bodies Made Of” of The Late Show With David Letterman. For his part, Dave was so enamored with the band's performance that he walked over and quipped, “Paul and I have talked it over, and we would like to manage the band!”
The Sunbathing Animal opener is a lovely track, to be sure. The folks at Texas Monthly agree, too, and chose to list it among its list of the top “Texas” songs of 2014. For what it's worth, fellow list-maker Ronnie Fauss and Old 97's showed up on that list, too.
Of course, Letterman's not the only new fan Parquet Courts picked up this week, either. Author Bret Easton Ellis tweeted this week that they were the “best newish band.”
Then, capping off the band's killer start to 2015 was fact the band was announced as one of the acts performing at this year's Coachella festival. Reverend Horton Heat and St. Vincent also earned their respective spots in the Rankings this week thanks to their inclusion in that announcement as well. But, unlike those two acts, which have topped the Buzz Rankings on multiple occasions, this week marks the first time Parquet Courts ever lands in the No. 1 spot.
Another big nod this week went to Crown the Empire, which was voted “artist of the year” in Alternative Press' annual reader's poll. T
hen there was Moth Face, which was profiled in both the Dallas Observer and D Magazine this week.
Elsewhere, Goodnight Ned keys man Jonas Martin prepared to release his solo debut this Saturday night at The Prophet Bar. That same night, Astronautalis will perform a bunch of new material at Three Links after having wrapped work on his next LP this week out in Oak Cliff. And, finally, Terrence Spectacle, Young Ejecta, Blue, the Misfit, Black Swan each released new songs and/or videos this week.
(Also receiving votes this week: Dark Rooms, Oil Boom, Lord Byron, Wesley Geiger, Blixaboy, Seryn, Star Music , Sealion, Buffalo Black, The Mohicans, Kelly Clarkson, Bobby Sessions, Yells at Eels, Def Rain, Bitch Teeth, Dripping Wet, Party Static, Tru Def, Pageantry, Sudie, Layer Cake, Son of Stan, Lily Taylor, Jordan Layne, Ishi, Dustin Cavazos, The Phuss, Problem Dogg, Bummer Vacation, Nervous Curtains, King Bucks, Daniel Markham, Devy Stonez, Goodnight Ned.)

Do you get sick often or are you in good health most of the time? Many people seem get sick at least once every couple weeks. Other people never get sick. Do you get stomach aches, gas, bloating and other digestion problems frequently or never? Well, there are lots of reasons for a challenged digestive tract, including stress levels, types of food intake, sleep quality and quantity, overall general health and fitness levels, and even some factors going back to childhood, like the type of diet during your developmental years, that determined what type of foods you frequent. Also where you buy, and how you cook them. If your helpful bacteria & yeast are out of balance, your body will more easily get sick, you will have more allergies, and will even get more cavities.
I can't remember the last stomach ache I've had. Never seem to get them anymore, since I broke up with my last girlfriend. Sorry Rolaids. Besides keeping fit, eating healthy, and keeping my stress level low, I have a little secret that, helps with my immunity, as well as digestion. My secret, probiotics. Probiotics are basically live micro-organisms, friendly bacteria and other good microorganisms that can be ingested in certain fermented, and raw foods, and supplements. The average person has several trillion of these little buggers working at any given time inside your digestive system, or not. Probiotic micro-organisms actually like the acidic environment of your stomach and small intestine, and provide huge benefits to you. For over 100 years, probiotics have been scientificially proven to be beneficial to our health. In 1908 the first probiotics researcher, Ilya Ilyich Mechnikov, recieved the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Ilya Mechnikov found that certain types of bacteria greatly improved people's digestive health. He believed that probiotics supplementation is the key to a long life. The last 100 years have confirmed Ilya's research, and science has found more probiotic benefits than the Nobel Prize winner could have ever imagined.
Metchnikoff, at that time a professor at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, proposed the hypothesis that the aging process results from the activity of putrefactive, proteolytic microbes producing toxic substances in the large bowel. Proteolytic bacteria such as clostridia, which are part of the normal gut flora, produce toxic substances including phenols, indols and ammonia from the digestion of proteins. According to Metchnikoff these compounds were responsible for what he called "intestinal auto-intoxication", which caused the physical changes associated with old age. At that time they knew that milk fermented with lactic-acid bacteria inhibits the growth of proteolytic bacteria because of the low pH produced by the fermentation of lactose.
Metchnikoff observed that certain rural populations in Europe, for example in Bulgaria and the Russian steppes who drank milk fermented by lactic-acid bacteria lived longer than average. Based on these facts, Metchnikoff proposed that drinking fermented milk would "seed" the intestine with harmless lactic-acid bacteria and decrease the intestinal pH and that this would suppress the growth of proteolytic bacteria. Metchnikoff himself tried a diet sour milk fermented with the bacteria he called "Bulgarian Bacillus" and found his health benefited. Friends in Paris soon followed his example and physicians began prescribing the sour milk diet for their patients
*Increased viral and bacterial immunity
*Help reduce yeast infections, urinary tract infections, etc.
*Increased absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients
*Increase white blood cells. will help reduce inflammation, and allergies.
In 2005, researcher de Vrese M of the Institute for Physiology and Biochemistry of Nutrition in Germany gave 479 health adults either: probiotics + vitamins or only vitamins. For 3 months during the brutal German winter, both groups took their vitamins, or probiotics + vitamins. The group that took probiotics reported: colds were shorter by 2 days colds were mild. Blood was drawn from both groups. After analysis, the blood immunity markers were found to be much higher in the probiotic group. This proves that probiotic supplmentation will fight viral infections. Researcher T Ogawa, of the Asahi University School of Dentistry, Japan, to scientifically investigate if probiotics could help with seasonal allergies. During the peak allergy season in Japan, Professor T Ogawa recruited a group of allergy sufferers. He gave one group L. casei probiotic + dextran, and gave the control group a placebo. Amazingly, the L. casei probiotic group did not see a spike in any allergies during the peak pollen season. The placebo group did see an increase in allergy symptoms and blood allergy markers.
Dr. Kajander of Valio Research Centre in Helsinki, Finland conducted an IBS study. This study was conducted on 103 patients for 6 months. For the 52 pateints who took one probiotic pill a day, their symptoms were reduced by an average 42%. Those aren't numbers to shake a stick at !!
Keep in mind you destroy your good gut bacteria with antibiotics, drinking water containing chlorine, absorbing chlorine from pools, hot tubs, or long hot showers, without a chlorine filter, or just washing your hands or brushing your teeth. All of those choices kills off a portion of your friendly bacteria living inside of you, so you need to make sure to increase your intake of probiotics to support that attack on your gut. Personally, I would never take antibiotics unless it was something life threatening that needed to be eradicated. Though to be compliant, and not get sued, I have to tell you, to do whatever your doctor tells you to do. By the way, some doctors reclessly prescribe antibiotics, a lot of times even if you have a viral infection which is pointless, and is only doing you harm by killing some of your good pro-biotic bacteria in your system and potentially allowing another bug to make you ill. Now that your defenses are reduced, pro-biotics are your defenses. Make sure to confirm with your doctor, that you really do have a bacterial infection before allowing him/her to prescribe you an antibiotic. It's ok to question doctors you won't get struck by lightning. So what foods are good sources of these health giving friendly probiotics?
Good Sources Are:
*Yogurt - make sure that the yogurt label says that it has live cultures in it. Also, steer clear of yogurts that use sugar, artificial sweeteners, maltodextrin or corn syrup. Instead, your best bet is plain yogurt, organic from grass fed cow's, add your own fruit, nuts, and raw honey to flavor it up.
*Kefir - similar to yogurt, but more of a liquid form of fermented milk (can have 2-3 billion or more active friendly organisms per serving). My favorite, it's just like a tangy smoothie.
*Aged Cheese - blue cheese, hard aged cheeses, aged cheddar can contain up to 10 billion friendly bacteria organisms per serving.
*Kambucha - a type of fermented tea it has a very strong taste, so consider mixing it 1/2 and 1/2 with your favorite tea.
*Sauerkraut - probably needs to be homemade as I believe most supermarket sauerkrauts are pasteurized, which kills the friendly probiotics.
So as you can see, trying to include a variety of these probiotic rich foods into your daily diet can go a long way towards keeping you healthy, strengthen your immune system and prevent sickness, and also help prevent digestion problems. The other thing I wanted to briefly touch on is prebiotics. If probiotics are the actual organisms, prebiotics are types of foods that you can eat to help stimulate the growth of probiotics within your system. One of them is aloe vera juice. If you suspect your gut is unstable try a glass of aloe juice before beginning your probiotic regimen. Soluble fiber is the main prebiotic that can help the probiotics flourish in your digestive system. Oatmeal, oat bran, inulin (not insulin, but inulin...a soluble fiber), and various fruits and vegetables all help to supply you with prebiotics. Can't get enough in your diet, try Dr. Ohhiras (http://drohhiraprobiotics.com) They are among, if not the best. There you have it probiotics, prebiotics now get on board, and feel better. What are you waiting for? Good Luck..

There were a glut of goals this weekend in Division 1 with four of the game producing 5 goals or more with three teams bagging 6 each.
The first of them came from USRC who posted an impressive 6-0 win over Mes who have now conceded 14 in three games. Sharing the goals evenly over the two halves it was having some quality in the final third that made the difference with USRC taking the majority of their chances while Mes couldn’t capitalize on the chances they created. Aron Ruzel (2), Marcello Vastola (2), Sean Taylor and Stephen Cairns scoring the goals.
Goodfellas bounced back from a disappointing performance the previous week to smash 6 past Revolution who did manage a conciliation strike to make the final score 6-1. Revo manager Snelly cited they didn’t have an answer for the long over the top and in the searing heat of a 1pm kick off they struggled. Having suffered themselves in the heat again Mes when they became unstuck, Goodfellas adapted better with the goals coming via a Steve Franklin hat-trick, Rob Davis brace and Louis Man.
After two draws to open up their campaign Tropics posted their first win of the season putting 6 past SOHO Spartans. Taking the lead after 20 minutes through a Frazer Adam penalty, Tropics found themselves pegged back within two minutes when Daniel Dunn got in ahead of the Tropics CB. Having got ahead again in the first half it was a 20 minute period at the start of the second half that saw the game move away from SOHO’s as Tropics opened up a 5-1 lead. Two more goals were shared in the last 20 minutes for a deserved 6-2 over all scoreline. Kevin Frimpong (2), Paul Ryding, Frazer Adams and Stephan Bastos making up the Tropics scorers with Charles Forbes getting the second for SOHO.
In the closest game of the weekend HK Scottish edged out the J-Leaguers 3-2 in a feisty encounter where both teams saw red. Needing to come from behind twice the Stags showed good battling spirit as well as some excellent football but the hero of the day was Myles Winter with a hat-trick to cancel out the strikes from Takekazu Hiramatsu and Shunsuke Nakamura.
DBFC got back to winning way with what looked like a comfortable 3-0 win against a struggling Corinthians who find themselves with 1 point from the opening three games. However, the scoreline doesn’t reflect the game with the first half very much belonging to Cors but they failed to take their chances and three defensive errors over the 80 minutes cost them.
Division 2 continued to entertain the fans, trouble the scorers and generally be a pain in the arse for defenders and keepers as there was another banquet of delicious and satisfying goals on offer for most.
The big game this week saw Irish Harps travel to Kings Park on Monday to face off against KCC Cavs. Harps had swatted aside their first two opponents but knew that this would be more of a test against the unbeaten KCC lads. Cavs were keen to start well after relying on late goals in their previous games and this aim was achieved as they eased into a 2 goal lead by half time. The baffling but true cliché of this being a dangerous lead reared its head again though as Harps fought back to level things up thanks to a brace from Liam Grant. Poised at 2-2 the Irish decided to gamble for a winner and this was to prove their undoing as Cavs broke well on a couple of occasions to restore their 2 goal advantage. Shane Moore headed in a late corner to half the deficit but too little too late as it was Cavs eyes that were left smiling after a 4-3 win. Adrian Samtani the hero with 3 whilst Gabriel Ho also continued his rich vein of form.
Also going in to this week with 2 wins from 2, Eagles are enjoying their debut campaign thus far. Searching for their third prey, they were facing an MBFC side who have made great strides this season. The Mandarin Boys are no longer LL whipping boys and gave a further decent account of themselves in this one before eventually losing out 5-2. Eagles swooped in early with 2 quick goals and despite a spirited fight from MBFC, held a 4-2 lead at the break. A tighter second period saw just one more goal added as the heat played its part, causing the sweat to pour and giving weight to the famous phrase ‘as wet as an eagle’. Jamie Hill, Elliott Suett (2), Keith Wood and an OG for Scottish with Cao Yuxing and Wang Weizhi for MBFC.
Samurai Blue were also looking to make it maximum points and duly did so in a well-mannered and thoroughly pleasant fixture against Shooters. Ahmed Jemli gave Samurai the lead before ‘wonderboy’ Peter Kassam made it 2, channeling his inner Georgi Kinkladze to weave his way past 5 players before finishing. Danger man Younes Aboubker was not to be outdone though as he got 2 in the second half, one of them another magnificent individual effort as the game was made safe. Judging by the photos of both sides arm in arm in the same shot, this was played in excellent spirits, so much so that Samurai opted to give a penalty away late on to spoil their own clean sheet as Matsumoto accepted the gift. 4-1 the final score.
Vikings looked like world-beaters when they first joined the Legal League before slipping away slightly over the last 18 months. It looks like they are back to their best for their latest marauding campaign this year though with a highly impressive 6-0 dismantling of Old Speckled Men keeping them perfect. Going ahead within a minute will always help matters and it was very one-sided from then on with OSM admitting they were flat and ultimately flattened. Further joy followed for the in-form Danes as Soren Kargo bagged a hat-trick, Frederik Hebo Christensen got 2 and Kasper Nielsen scored his annual goal too.
San Pells vs BOCs is a game you would maybe look at as a potential cricket score at the start of the season but that was not the case as it was once again proven that you can’t take anything for granted. BOCs keeper has been known to put in worldie performances in the past, looking at times like he could probably save the Titanic, and this was to be another one as he stopped (nearly) everything that came at him. San Pells lost count of the amount of chances that were thwarted by the cat-like reflexes (which also included a penalty save), although a goal from Sherwan Esmailzadeh was enough for them to edge it 1-0.
In a dramatic game full of twists of turns, Wolves inflicted a first defeat of the season on Krauts as they saw off the Germans 3-2 in Aberdeen. Henry Li had given Wolves an early lead when he headed in from a corner but they could not hold on as Krauts hit back with goals from Simon Ranke and Roberto Pascarelli. Not willing to lie down, Wolves swung it back in their favor again as Chris Jim netted twice to grab a deserved victory despite an excellent goalkeeping display from Krauts young stopper.
Bants beat Shui Wei 3-1 with Lee Hodgson (2) and Vlad Karanovic on target. Niko Nitti for Shui Wei. As there was no report provided for this one then feel free to make up your own story.
Never in danger of that fate are Dragon Valley whose difficult start to the season continued after a heavy defeat to Young Guns. In hindsight choosing to have this one recorded was maybe not the best idea as Young Guns cruised to a 5-2 success. With goals from Simon Fan (2), Tai Lai Wong and Nicky Lo (2), the Guns were in a ruthless mood, picking up their first points of the season. Jordan Jackson and Paul Martin got the consolations for DV who plummet in to their own Valley of despair near the foot of the early season table.
KCC Royals have also struggled in the opening weeks and this trend continued as they were smashed 7-3 in a Monday night goal-fest. Legal Head were on fire this week, putting to rest the painful memory of a 10-1 reverse in the same fixture last season. 2 nil up inside of 5 minutes is becoming a recurring theme in Division 2 this year, as Head continued the trend. Royals hit back but further goals were added for Legal to give them a rare 4-1 advantage at the break. With no sign of shutting up shop, the chances and action continued to flow and despite the ref calling the game early, 10 goals had already been scored by this point with the result far beyond any doubt. Cesur Turker (2), Yann Cruz, Darragh Keenan, Sultan Shahzad, Mike Frank and Jason Tiger earned their stripes for Head with Steve Hamill (2) and Ben Walker replying in vain.

War, football and glory – The rise of Shakhtar Donetsk
Ukrainian champions Shakhtar Donetsk held German champions and European giants, Bayern Munich, to a very respectable draw on Tuesday night. Shakhtar constantly lose their best players to other top European clubs and despite this, they put up a good fight and do not go down easily every time they participate in Europe.
The current season has been very difficult for the defending Ukrainian champions thanks to the war in Ukraine. Because of the war, many of the non-Ukrainian players in the Shakhtar squad were reluctant to join their squad for pre-season and eventually, Shakhtar were forced to play their home games in Lviv, which is over 600 miles away from their base in Kiev.
Despite this, the fans of the club have turned out in huge numbers to watch their club play. This is not the saddest part though, because Shakhtar’s beautiful home ground in Donetsk, Donbass Arena was shelled in the war and has taken severe damage.
So how exactly did an unlikely club from Ukraine gain so much worldwide recognition and attention in the last decade? How did Shakhtar Donetsk become one of the finest football clubs from the former Soviet Union?
The rise of the Rio de Janerio of Europe
The club won their first league title in the 2001/02 season under the captainship of former Bayern Munich star, Antoily Tymoschuk, but it was only after the appointment of their current manager Mircea Lucescu in 2004, that they started to find success consistently.
The club adopted a specific strategy during this period and over the years it has found them unprecedented success in Ukraine. The strategy was to look for young talented players in Brazil to form the base of their attack, while the defense was built on mostly local players to adjust for the rule forcing teams to have a certain number of local players on the field.
Lucescu was in charge of Internazionale during the 1998/99 season and during this period he had the pleasure of working with the legendary Brazilian footballer – Ronaldo. Working with the Brazilian legend sparked Lucescu’s appreciation for the South Americans and that inspired him to adopt his successful Brazilian player philosophy at Shakhtar. The Romanian was also the one who signed 18-year-old Andrea Pirlo from Brescia to Internazionale and this gives a clear picture of his eye to spot good talent.
It is hard to imagine a bigger contrast with the beaches of Rio de Janerio because the Ukrainian city of Donetsk is an industrial hub dominated by mining and yet, over the years legions of Brazilian footballers have come to the city. Brandao was the first Brazilian to arrive at Shakhtar two years before Lucescu. Under Lucescu, Brandao became a better player and he eventually moved to French giants Olympique Marseille in 2008.
The Romanian considers the signing of Brazilian defender Matuzalem in 2005 as the key signing which triggered the club’s Brazilian player policy. Lucescu was so committed to his plan that he even learned Portuguese to help coach his Brazilian contingent. Over the years Shakhtar have brought many Brazilian players to the limelight before they left the club to pursue their European dreams elsewhere.
Some of the famous Brazilians to have played for the club include Elano, Fernandinho, Willian, Jadson, Matuzalem and Eduardo da Silva (later adopted Croatian citizenship).
The current Shakhtar squad has 13 Brazilians which is one more than the number of Ukrainians in the squad and seven of these Brazilians, namely; Luiz Adriano, Douglas Costa, Bernard, Fernando, Fred, Wellington Nem and Ilsinho have played for Brazil’s senior squad.
Shakhtar’s starting lineup against Bayern Munich earlier this week is a perfect example of their Brazilian player strategy. The team that started the game had six Brazilians and all of them played in midfield or attack, while the backline and goalkeeper together comprised of four Ukrainians and one Croatian, Darijo Srna – the club captain.
Success under Lucescu
After appointing Lucescu as their manager in 2004, ten seasons have passed and in the meantime the club has won the league an eye-popping eight times, including five in a row from 2009/10 to 2013/14. In addition to this, the club has won the Ukrainian Cup five times and the Ukrainian Super Cup six times. In spite of all his achievements in Ukraine, the biggest feather in Lucescu’s cap was their Europa League triumph in the 2008/09 season.
Shakhtar were demoted to the Europa League from the Champions League after finishing third in a difficult group consisting of Barcelona, Sporting CP and FC Basel. They defeated strong teams like Tottenham Hotspur, CSKA Moscow, Olympique Marseille, Dynamo Kyiv and Werder Bremen to lift their first European trophy.
In recent years, Shakhtar have defeated strong teams like Barcelona, Chelsea, Arsenal and AS Roma in European competitions and this is a testament to how much the Ukranian club has evolved in the last decade.
Shakhtar’s success under Lucescu came with the financial aid of their owner Rinat Akhmetov. The 48-year-old, is one of the wealthiest men in Ukraine and as of February 2015, he was listed as the 216th richest man in the world. The business tycoon has invested heavily in his club (eight of the top 10 biggest transfer fees in Ukrainian football belong to Shakhtar and all of them were in the last 10 years).
The future of Shakhtar and the post-Lucescu era
Shakhtar have already become a regular participant in European competitions, but it remains to be seen how much they can prosper with their current Brazilain philosophy, because unless and until Ukraine start producing more talented footballers like Andriy Shevchenko or Anoily Tymoschuk, it will be extremely difficult for a promising club like Shakhtar to topple giants like Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern Munich on a consistent basis.
Lucescu will be 70 years old prior to the start of the next season and at some stage in the near future, Shakhtar will have to prepare for life after the Romanian’s departure. His current contract ends in June and in October 2014, he came close to taking the Romanian job, only to be stopped my Akhmetov.
Nevertheless, the club has taken huge strides forward in the last decade and they will keep hopefully spotting more talented youngsters from around the world.


Some films are born from an article, some from a book, others from just an image – the origin of this film was the atmospheric, screeching sound of someone yelling. Director Eddie Alcazar and musician Flying Lotus had been talking about collaborating on an upcoming project, a feature by Alcazar that Flying Lotus would score, when they decided to make a short film as a way to explore working together more quickly. Fuckkkyouuu was made over a few months. The process was organic, but unconventional. Alcazar would shoot, review his footage, and edit what he had. Inspired, in search of further themes and images, he would go shoot more – always creating something new.
“It was a creative process that felt right as it was driven by instinct.” EDDIE ALCAZAR
The result is a hypnotizing and chilling film about time travel, gender and identity. It was shot on Super 16mm Black and White Reversal film — a format that Alcazar wanted to work with because of its starkness and the emotional effect the filmmaker felt it would bring to his horror-related project. The film is reminiscent of F. W. Murnau’s Nosferatu (1922) – an inspiration for the score that Flying Lotus mentions alongside David Lynch’s Eraserhead (1977) and Shinya Tsukamoto’s Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989).
The story of Fuckkkyouuu is mysterious, but nonetheless captivating – a vision of time travel as an abstract, inward-looking, intimate experience of memory. Alcazar describes his film: “With the ability to travel in time, a lonely girl finds love and comfort by connecting with her past self. Eventually faced with rejection she struggles with her identity and gender, and as time folds onto itself only one of them can remain.”
A selection at Sundance Film Festival in the Midnight shorts program, Fuckkkyouuu was one of the highlights of the festival –eerie, captivating and powerful.

Ashwin reveals he was numb after losing the WTC final
Ravichandran Ashwin who gave India a glimmer of hope on the last day with back to back wickets of the openers with New Zealand still 95 behind the target in their tricky chase in the last session of the WTC final. Revealed that he was numb after the final wondering what went wrong!!.
Ashwin admitted that New Zealand was the well-deserved winner and was in the game right through. Swinging the ball around throughout the match. But the rub of the green did not go India’s way despite the team trying their best.
Ashwin did not expect that the 6th day will be of any use but it actually produced the result. He also stated that they did not play a game for one month after IPL was called off.
Ashwin felt that the whole team was surprised to see Williamson’s lbw nullified by the ball tracker. Which showed the ball missing the stumps and the match got over from there.
The off-spinner who took 4 wickets and bowled well in the game sympathized with the fans for India’s loss. Said they were justified for their sad feelings.
Signing off Ashwin hoped that India will soon be able to win another ICC tournament.

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Pedro Báez has been activated from the 10-day disabled list on Friday. As a result, the Dodgers optioned pitcher Josh Fields to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
During his time in OKC, Baez pitched three no decisions with a 6.00 ERA and allowed two runs and in three innings.
As reported by Ken Gurnick of MLB.com, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts discussed about Báez’s position in certain game situations.
“The guys that have put eyes on him said the velocity is there and the stuff is really good and he can give us one-plus [inning],” said Roberts. “I’ll stick him in high-leverage situations. I’ve got trust in Petey in game situations and we’ll throw him in the fire.”
The 29-year-old reliever had a 3-2 record with a 3.04 ERA in the 2016 season. He allowed 27 runs in 74 innings pitched, with 83 strikeouts in 73 games.

It's Monday, Oct 28th today and I haven't gone on one long trip all year. So I'm debating going to Tofino on Saturday to see Long Beach and the mighty Pacific Ocean in all it's glory. This is weather permitting of course.
Monday's 5 day forcast:
Monday (today) - shitty
Tuesday - sunny periods
Wednesday - Sunny
Thursday - Mainly Sunny
Friday - Mainly Sunny
I'm holding out for Saturday/Sunday. I figure the odds are 50/50.
I'll probably stay the night out there in Tofino, but the trip is short enough that you could go and return in the same day.
For those of you that aren't in the know, Tofino is on the Island. So there would be a ferry cost involved, but not too much waiting at the terminal if it's timed right. The roads are great and scenery is pretty good too.

How important is a constant intercourse with nature and the contemplation of natural phenomena to the preservation of moral and intellectual health!” Henry David Thoreau
Since his death in 1862, Henry David Thoreau has left an indelible mark on the American mind. A vocal champion of simple living and social equality, he is revered for his tempered prose, gentle words, and wise observations. His most well-known work, Walden, is still read around the world, cherished for both its beautiful writing style and its timeless musings on life, simple living, and nature.
Collected in Thoreau on Nature: Sage Words on Finding Harmony with the Natural World are some of Thoreau’s most impactful musingsdrawn from the many writings he completed over his lifetime. His work touched on every aspect of living a harmonious life, from respecting your neighbors, whether human or animal, to the joys of a simplified life, free of clutter and distractions. Thoreau on Nature will undoubtedly be an essential resource for anyone seeking to find peace and balance in life.

I found Jenn at a bridal expo and knew I had to have her as our wedding photographer. Her portfolio is so beautiful. We did our engagement photos with her this past summer on the beach. I’m thinking “she’ll never travel to the beach for these engagement photos”. She immediately responded asking when and where!! She makes you feel so comfortable and is so laid back. Our pictures turned out amazing. She has such an eye for picturesque locations but is always up for suggestions. I’m so happy we went with her. I can’t wait to see the wedding photos!Sent on 05/13/2018

Tesla Inc TSLA is one of the best-known electric vehicle brands. CEO Elon Musk lead the company to pioneer the segment and change the entire auto industry in the process. But with high demand and popularity comes high prices, which can leave the cars out of reach for many.
And a new study by S&P Global Mobility shared by Teslarati, shows that lower priced competitors are starting to make their mark on Tesla's U.S. market share. Vehicle registrations show a shedding of market share by Tesla, mostly in the sub-$50,000 EV category in which Tesla does not compete.
Indepenent of brand and price point, most of these new electric vehicle customers are coming from Toyota and Honda, who are having trouble keeping their gas vehicle driving customers loyal. Most EVs still continue to be purchased by higher income families, and out of 525,000 registrations, 340,000 are Tesla vehicles.
Tesla is working to start deliveries of the Cybertruck in 2023, but other than that, Tesla's lineup seems to remain unchanged in the near term. While Musk has talked about a lower priced vehicle, the timing of such a release is unknown.
