Jiang Le seemed to be in an enviable position as he walked with three of the most beautiful maidens in the realm. But he was actually despondent and was greatly depressed.
He used to hanker after the beauty of these three enchanting maidens but he could no longer experience anything now. It seemed like a part of his soul was gone now, changing him into another person.
Jiang Le knew that they were trying to distract him from his unhappiness. His eyes were appreciatively and for the very first time, he knew what it was like to be part of a protégé clan. Now he wished that he had been kinder to them in the past.
Jiang Le found himself listening intently. He heaved a soft sigh. Had he been too egotistic and insolent?
That was precisely why he had found his life now at rock bottom!
He found himself shaking uncontrollably. It was because today he had lost something that was invaluable to him. He swore to find this hateful Desolate Old Man and to make him pay for what he had done to him!
Jiang Le was startled as he looked at his surroundings keenly but he could not see a soul!
Even Xue Ji and Xia Ji were alarmed as they drawn out their swords defensively. It was because they knew that their protégé aunt could not be wrong.
A handsome young man in a white priest robe and a sword on his back had emerged from the surroundings.
Even Xue Ji was blushing as she stared at this young man in priest robe.
Jiang Le woke up with an agonizing scream and he was sweating profusely!
He opened his eyes and saw that Qingshuang, Xue Ji and Xia Ji had gathered around him.
But instead of looking at them, he was reaching for his crotch area with his trembling fingers!
His eyes were wide with bewilderment!
Jiang Le was slightly startled by her amicable reply. He was expecting her to disagree. The truth was, he was too humiliated to return home and till now, he found it impossible to believe that the white robe man could have broken his epitome sword technique with such ease?
Was he human? Or a celestial practitioner? If he wants to defeat the white robe man then he had to cultivate the advance celestial arts.
He found himself shaking uncontrollably. It was because today he had lost something that was invaluable to him. He swore to find and let the Desolate Old Man pay for this vendetta.


November 24, 2016 November 7, 2016 by Vinay Leo R.
Written as part of NaBloPoMo Day 7.
It is the opinion of many that we remember our school days more than our college days. Perhaps that is true. I do remember the good ol' days when 5 days of the week, we'd be in uniform. But college brings its own memories, and they remain special for many reasons. Though there were annual day functions at school, I think the college fest is something I remember more than the annual day function. Possibly because we organized it ourselves, and the teachers only played a supporting role.
In the penultimate semester of the undergraduate course, we had the fest. A celebration of culture… music, dance, writing, computer gaming, treasure hunts, so on and so forth. It was a big success, and at the end of it all, each stream of the senior batch (computer science s, civil engineering, electronics, telecom etc.) went up on stage and danced. Prior to that, of course, we had the inter-collegiate competitions for group dance. Our college team won second place in that event.
One of my fondest memories of my college days is helping that college team with the dance to this song. No, I am not a dancer, but they asked my help to create moves for the Malayalam part of the lyrics. I was only glad to help. I helped in making sure their movements were co-ordinated too. The song Jiya Jale was one of my favorites even before that, but after the fest, the song has become linked to this memory, and thus makes it even more special.
For obvious reasons, my favorite part of the lyrics is the Malayalam words, though the song on the whole has quite beautiful lyrics. The movie Dil Se wasn't one of my favorites, but I think the soundtrack was just magical. More often than not, I think AR Rahman's music has that magic.


On Measuring Time: Should We Observe Abib First?
We know that this observance was a command to the Israelites. Is it a command to us?
We today are not subject to the laws and ordinances imposed upon the "nation of Israel. The law of Moses was taken away, superseded by the greater law of faith" and Christ.
However, could God condemn our remembering a day which He in former times commanded His people to keep? Furthermore, in view of Paul's command to render "honour to whom honour" is due, can we think for a moment that Christ, the Son of God and our future King is unworthy of our honor? To whom could we owe greater honor than Him who is our Mediator, our Advocate before God, our perfect Example, our future judge and our eternal King!
In observing the first day of Abib as the anniversary of His birth, we remember Him not as an infant but as the King- He was born to be. No other among earthborns ranks so high or means so much to us. No other could be so worthy of our honor.
Honoring Christ is our sacred privilege.


Why Was Donald Trump's Twitter Page Down?
Why Was Donald Trump's Twitter Page Down?
Early this evening, @realDonaldTrump's Twitter page went down. The president's Twitter page wouldn't load and read, "Sorry, that page doesn't exist!" A screenshot of the error message can be seen below. What happened?
@realDonaldTrump's Twitter was briefly offline because a human error made by a Twitter employee. According to later reports, the Twitter employee was in the process of departing the company when they deactivated Trump's account.
The incident occurred a little bit before 7 p.m. EDT. According to DownDetector, there were no serious outages reported on Twitter when @realDonaldTrump failed to load. The account was down for 11 minutes total.
However, despite some early reports saying that the president had been suspended from Twitter, the error message briefly seen was different than the one that appears when accounts are suspended.
Trump's page was only down for a short while and went back up around 7:02 p.m. EDT with no apparent issues. His latest tweet, a video of him announcing his the nomination of Jerome Powell to be the next Chairman of the Federal Reserve, was posted at 6:35 p.m. EDT.
Twitter intermittently goes down. In the past, it has also been the target of large DDoS attacks, or distributed denial of service attacks. The last large-scale Twitter outage occurred in November 2016, shortly after WikiLeaks claimed to have been the subject of a cyber-attack.
About a week before that, Twitter was also down, along SoundCloud, Spotify, Shopify, and other websites like Box, Boston Globe, New York Times, Github, Airbnb, Reddit, Freshbooks, Heroku and Vox. In this incident, the outages were the result of multiple DDoS attacks, reports Tech Crunch.
Those attacks came in two waves, once in the morning, and again later that same day.

Thesis title: How were representations of 'Prisoners of War' used by Rome's elite in the 1st century BCE, and what does this tell us about Roman culture?
Supervisor: Dr Penelope Goodman, Dr Regine May
I am a full-time PhD candidate, researching elite representations of captive-taking within the Roman world. I began my undergraduate degree in Classical Studies at Newcastle University in 2010, but transferred to the University of Leeds in my second year following a family bereavement. I completed both my undergraduate degree and Masters at the University of Leeds, graduating in 2014 and 2015 respectively. After a year working for an housing association, I returned to the University of Leeds to begin my PhD in Classics in 2016.
I have previously held the role of Educational Outreach Fellow for Classics (2017-2018), and I have been actively involved in organising postgraduate conferences since 2015. I am currently in charge of organising the Annual Meeting of Postgraduates in Ancient Literature (AMPAL), which will be held at the University of Leeds in 2019.
My research is funded by the Leeds University Research Scholarship, and is co-supervised by Dr Penny Goodman and Dr Regine May.
My research centres on 'The Other' in the Roman world, particularly the social position of groups which have largely been ignored in traditional scholarship. For instance, I researched disability within Roman society for my MA dissertation and considered the treatment of individuals, including women, slaves and children, with congenital disorders, mobility issues and sensory disabilities. I am also interested in Roman art and material culture, particularly numismatics. Previous research, carried out during my masters, has focussed on: sexual imagery on Pompeian wall-paintings and the varying degrees of damnatio memoriae, including non-elite examples. Other research projects include: the Jewish population in Rome following the First Jewish-Roman War, the concept of Imperial virtues and the 'Good Emperor', and celebrity culture in Ancient Rome.

Here is the first song Monta Ahare from upcoming love story Ahare Mon directed by Pratim D Gupta. This is a love song dedicated to all sort of romantic feelings. This song is very refreshing in terms of composition, lyrics and singing. The first thing one will notice in the song is the lyrics written by celebrated director Srijit Mukherji. Srijit writes lyrics very rarely and this is the first romantic song written by him for any film. His choice of words are amazing. He has used very unusual words still being true to the feelings which makes it sound different as well as impressive. Through the words one can create visuals in mind about the romantic feelings for their loved one. Giving life to the words is the very prominent and powerful voice of Durnibar Saha. This young talented man has a great voice. As he is not so regular to playback singing for Bengali movies so his voice sounds very fresh. Also one can't neglect the lovely composition of Neel Dutt. It is one of his best compositions so far. His musical arrangements are quite different from his regular style and that suits the song very well.
The song was an instant hit before releasing the video. But the video also deserves a watch. It shows glimpses of the three lead couples, Anjan Dutt – Mamata Shankar, Adil Hussain – Paoli Dam, Ritwick Chakraborty – Parno Mittra.The charming chemistry between all the pairs can't be overlooked. Also it features the new girl Chitrangada Chakraborty who is playing a girl madly in love with a superstar. Her craziness for her superstar has also been portrayed wonderfully in the song. The film will release on 22nd June, till then keep humming Monta Ahare.

Q: Laravel Eloquent, where query on child model with if statement Can someone help me out, I'm trying to do a where query on a Child Model. Everything seems fine when I have a value for the id but it returns nothing when no id is supplied.
My goal is to get all data when no id is supplied and get specific data when id supplied.
Here's my code
Report::with(['project'])
->whereHas('project' function($q) use($programId){
   if($programId){
    $q->where('program_id', $programId);
   }
})->get();

Is there a better way to achieve my goal? or I just lack something on the query? Thank you in advance.

A: So I have a little complex answer for this type of questions where you can create a query and do every logic to it.
// Initialise the model
$query = new Report;

// Start building the query
$query->with('project');

// Check if project Id exists
if ($projectId) {
    return $query->whereHas('project', function ($subQuery) use ($projectId) {
         $subQuery->where('program_id', $programId);
    })->get();
} else {
    return $query->get();
}

A: You can use when method for this.
The when method only executes the given closure when the first argument is true. If the first argument is false, the closure will not be executed.
Report::with('project')
->when($programId, function ($query) use ($programId) {
   $query->whereHas('project' function($q) use($programId){
      $q->where('project.program_id', $programId);
   });
})->get();

Recognizing Christmas Wonders is what makes the spirit of the Christmas season real.
While I was given a copy of the book Christmas Wonders by Robyn Butters from publisher Familius, all opinions are mine.
What do you do to help bring the spirit of the Christmas season?
For me, I like to read Christmas stories. I usually read one or two Christmas themed novels during the Christmas season along with a few children's Christmas stories that I read aloud to my grandchildren. So, when Familius approached me to see if I would like to read their newest Christmas novel, Christmas Wonders by Robyn Butters, I jumped at the opportunity.
Losing your mother and grandfather, having a detached father, and moving to a new town are a lot for anyone, especially for ten year old Luke. Since his mother and grandfather passed away, Luke has largely been left to fend for himself; seeing his deceased only love in Luke's eyes and demeanor is just too much for Luke's father to cope with. Luckily for Luke, their new town quickly embraces this broken family and help Luke find his way.
As the Christmas season approaches, everyone is talking about their "Christmas Wonders." With no memory of a Christmas celebration for himself, Luke finds his deceased mother's nativity set. Touched by Mary s protecting embrace of the Baby Jesus, Luke experiences his first "Christmas Wonder." His discovery is the catalyst for a search that leads to a soul-changing season for neighbors as Luke finds his connection to heavenly love.
Christmas Wonders weaves a story about the importance of tradition, unconditional love, and family connection. At just 136 pages, I liked how it didn't take much time to read this holiday story. The story quickly draws you in to Luke and his character because of all the trials this little boy has experienced in such a young life. I especially liked how the small town rallied for this little boy and how Luke was able to unexpectantly add to their own Christmas celebration. I didn't particularly care for the father's character and I guess that was to be expected because he wasn't a very nice man.
At first, I had a hard time grasping the concept of what the author was describing as a "Christmas Wonder." But as the story unfolded, I could see how the notion of "Christmas Wonder" could be applied to anyone who strives to feel and hold on to the true meaning of Christmas in their life.
Christmas Wonders is Robyn Butter's second Christmas book. She is a Goodreads author.
Are you looking for a way to add to the spirit of your Christmas season? I'd like to offer you a chance to get your own copy of Christmas Wonders by Robyn Butters. Simply leave a comment below sharing your favorite Christmas season tradition by midnight on Sunday, December 13th. A winner from all the comments submitted will be chosen using Real Number Generator and will be announced on Monday, December 14th – just in time for me to mail a copy of the book off so that it can be enjoyed this Christmas season.

Onboard at The Pyramid: 1984–1988 – Danspace Project
Onboard at The Pyramid: 1984–1988

An Oral History with David Yarritu 10/15/2016
In the eighties, the Pyramid Club became an off-center playhouse for a small community of queers and artists who weren't interested in the mainstream gay and drag scenes. At the East Village club, an intimate group of artmakers, friends, and lovers was born; and it thrived for the better part of a decade, producing a lot of well-known performers and defining a new queer aesthetic. The onset of AIDS intersected with the Pyramid's peak and as a result, the club was witness to the creation and disappearance of a community.
David Yarritu was a member of the pop group ABC and involved with the New York East Village art scene, where he danced and performed at clubs like AREA and the Pyramid. David, now a freelance art director and stylist, moved to New York from Texas in 1983, landing at the Pyramid on his first night: "I had heard it was the place to be." Michael Musto described it in Downtown as "smoky, dirty, narrow, crowded, and totally fabulous." Beyond that long, narrow, very dark space, was the dance floor, and beyond that a stage. Said David: "The stage had a trapdoor, more like a hole, which led to a ladder that went down into the basement. The drag queens would have to shimmy up the ladder to perform." David met a lot of his closest friends at the Pyramid in those first couple weeks. He also met his boyfriend, Max DiCorcia, who would later die of AIDS.
When I meet with David, he starts by telling me about that first night. "I knew right away that I would have to start dressing differently because my best outfit in Austin would not be the best outfit here. But I was very proud of what I was wearing." A vintage green plaid flannel shirt, pegged jeans he'd had custom tailored, and a sailor cap ("to be sexy?"). "And to let people know you were onboard?" I ask. "Yes," he says. "I was onboard! Onboard at the Pyramid."
–Svetlana Kitto

I moved to New York in the fall of '83 and by February I was dancing at the Pyramid. The first time I ever danced was on Valentine's Day. I dressed as Cupid. I made a satchel and some arrows out of dowels and cardboard and spray-painted them gold and put glitter on them. And I wrote up these little love notes and handed them out to people all over the club. It would be like: Kiss the person on the cheek that's standing next to you. Like little activities to try to make love happen.
I met everybody in the Pyramid scene within the first couple months. I met my friend Jimmy [Paul], Tabboo! and Jack [Pierson] and John Sex and and Hapi Phace, and lots of artists and performers. And lots of people who died.
I became friends with Tabboo! [Stephen Tashjian] in the first couple weeks. He was always very proud of his Armenian heritage, and whenever he had the chance he would remind you that Cher was Armenian. Cher was a big go-to person for him to impersonate, emulate, admire, and a big inspiration for his looks. When I first moved to New York he was already doing the Pyramid ads in black and white that were in every alternative paper. Tabboo! had a lot to contribute in terms of the graphic look of the Pyramid. He would do a lot of the décor.
Hapi Phace was best buddies with Tabboo! I think at one point they lived in the same building. Hapi Phace, whose real name was Mark [Phredd], was the instigator of the gay night on Sunday, Whispers. The premise was that it was a suburban gay club: Whispers. There would be announcements like: "Whoever has the Subaru, your lights are on." Hapi would always introduce Tabboo! as "T-A-B-double-o. All that taste and just one calorie."
Whispers was every Sunday night. Sister Dimension was the DJ and there would be dancing and a little show. I worked at a fancy deli on the Upper West Side but was barely making enough money to live. So I would supplement that with dancing on the bar at the Pyramid. They would pay me 50 dollars a night.

Part of me was really anxious to meet everybody as soon as I could and be part of the Pyramid scene. So I thought dancing was a good way to be visible. When you're dancing on the bar it's like being a fly on the wall. You're looking down and you can see people hooking up and having arguments and nobody's watching you. You think the whole world is watching you but nobody gives a shit. Drinking, dancing, trying to flirt.
There were a lot of great performers. My boyfriend, Max, did sets for Lypsinka. Lypsinka performed a lot at the Pyramid. John Epperson. He was a unique performer. He would cringe if you called him a drag queen. His real-life job is as a pianist for the American Ballet Theater. Incredible pianist. He would do these performances where he would make audio collages out of snippets from old TV shows and campy movies, which he would lip synch to. His whole thing was to never use his own voice for any reason. So you never knew what his voice was like. It got really twisted—it was really good. He had a group called The Tweed Ensemble, a little theater group for which he would wear a tweed ensemble.
International Chrysis was another Pyramid performer. She was a very glamorous drag queen—she'd had boobs put in and her lips injected with collagen and she was very voluptuous. And she had this real raspy husky voice, super sexy. She was Salvador Dali's muse and hung out with him all the time. She was like old-school, the real deal, showbiz, all these other people were more of a post-modern arty kind of drag, like "drag about drag."
James Vance and David Yarritu, The Pyramid Club, c. 1984–'88. Courtesy David Yarritu.
Tom Rubnitz was another really interesting figure in the Pyramid scene. He did all those videos—like Pickle Surprise and Strawberry Shortcut, Drag Queen Marathon. I remember him one time asking me if I wanted to go see The Smiths. I barely knew who they were. But of course I said yeah. Frank the folk singer was the opening act, and I sat with Tom and the B-52s at my very first Smiths concert. I just remember thinking it was all so glamorous, and so generous of him to take me.
John Sex was a very handsome sexy guy who was sort of like a really cheap Elvis. He played the guitar and would wear these very gaudy suits and spray his hair up like three feet in the air. I never thought that he was particularly talented; he was just so cute and sexy and hardworking. I remember that he used to announce that his family came over on the Mayflower and their last name was Sexton. But they left off the "ton" to reduce the stigma and that's why he ended up being John Sex. He also had a group of backup singers called The Bodacious Tatas and they were these three chicks that would do backup choreography behind him while he was doing his thing.
Lady Bunny is still a really good friend. She came a little bit later with the Atlanta bunch, which included RuPaul, Larry T., who wrote [RuPaul's 1992 single] "Supermodel," and Lahoma Van Zandt. A tornado hit the Pyramid when Bunny arrived. She was so obviously talented and larger than life and just took the Pyramid by storm. When she first made the scene she wouldn't sing, she would lip synch. Traditional numbers like Patti LaBelle. She would lip synch to "Popcorn"—do stupid things like that. No one was threatened by her, they were just happy she was around. It's pretty amazing to think that probably the two of the most famous drag queens in America, Lady Bunny and RuPaul, started out at the Pyramid.

RuPaul would perform with a backup dancer called Trade. At that time RuPaul wasn't particularly sexy or turned out visually, she was really kind of a mess. She would lip synch to, like, a Jody Watley song, in a cheap spandex dress from 14th street. Ru has banter now but she didn't then. You got to watch people sort of develop their talent over the years. Lady Bunny, though—she just arrived as full-on Bunny.
Ethyl Eichelberger was like a bard at the Pyramid. She had these epic poems that she would sing while playing the accordion. She wasn't pretty by any means but she was very tall and decorated in this hodgepodge way—like necklaces made out of plastic garbage.
Ethyl would ride around on a bicycle that was 15 feet tall. You would look up and there would be Ethyl, in drag, riding around the East Village.
I remember there was a guy named Mr. Fashion, I don't think anybody ever knew his real name. He would just come every night to the Pyramid in some incredible outfit that he put together with spit and glue and something from the thrift store. He was always posing, doing these fashion poses. He always looked amazing. I don't even know what Mr. Fashion did. That was the thing. It was like you had hundreds of friends but you didn't know anything about them. Like you didn't know where they came from, what they did during the daytime, where they lived. It was a strange thing.
Like me, a lot of kids had moved to New York from wherever—Bumfuck, America—and just could not wait to get away from where they grew up. I always tell the story that when I was growing up in Texas I would ride my bike a couple miles to Barnes and Noble at the mall, so I could sit there and read Interview Magazine and After Dark and all the magazines about New York. I never had the money to buy the Interview but I would sit there at the Barnes and Noble and read it. So by the time I moved to New York, I knew about all these people, from the Pyramid and other places. Like I knew who John Sex was and Wendy Wild and Ann Magnuson and Kenny Scharf and Keith Haring and all those people. It was so exciting to move and then all of a sudden it was like, Oh my god—there's that person that I've seen pictures of in Interview for the last several years!

Song as Catharsis


LEXINGTON, Va. - On an unseasonably cold day in Lexington, Va., the VMI Keydets and UMass Lowell Riverhawks split a doubleheader in NCAA baseball action in Lexington, Va. UMass Lowell (5-8) took game one, 9-5, before VMI (8-6) rallied to take the nightcap and series finale, 6-3, on Will Malbon's three-run homer in the sixth.
In game one, Russ Olive and Colby Maiola hit two homers apiece to propel UMass Lowell to a 9-5 win in the opener of the doubleheader. The two players combined for eight RBI, and struck early in the contest when Olive launched a three-run homer in the first off Keydet starter Zak Kent (2-2).
UML would lead from that point on, although the Keydets did score four unanswered runs in the middle innings to close the gap to 5-4. Peyton Maddox helped fuel a three-run sixth with a RBI double and Nathan Loyd, making his first career start, had a sacrifice fly, but the visitors answered with two runs in the seventh and it was back to 7-4, UML.
Matt Pita drove in a run in the seventh with a groundout, but Maiola capped the scoring with a two-run shot to right to account for the final margin.
Offensively, Maddox went 2 for 4 to lead the Keydets, while Olive was 4 for 5 with four RBI and three runs scored to power the visitors.
Kent dropped to 2-2 by taking the loss, as he allowed five runs in 4 1/3 innings. He walked three and struck out six. Andrew Ryan (1-1) gave up four runs in 5 1/3 frames and was the winner.
Pita went 0 for 4 and saw his hitting streak end at 22 consecutive games, the longest since such streaks began being kept at VMI (2005).
In the nightcap, Malbon hit a three-run, opposite field homer in the sixth, breaking a 3-3 tie and sending VMI to a 6-3 victory.
The teams were deadlocked at 3-3 when the Keydets rallied in the sixth. Maddox singled with one out and moved to second on a wild pitch. Matt Dunlevy walked and one out later, Malbon lofted a long drive to left that cleared the wall for his first homer of the year. Matt Eagle made the lead stand up with three scoreless innings for his second save of the year.
Jacob Jaye put the Keydets up 2-0 in the first with his second homer of the series, a two-run shot, but the visitors scored twice in the second.
With runners on second and third, Olive hit a bouncer to Jake Huggins at first. Huggins threw to second, attempting to get one of the lead runners edging off the base. Both runners attempted to move up at that point and Nathan Eaton threw home, but threw wildly for an error to allow a run to score. Maiola followed with a RBI groundout to tie the game, 2-2.
The teams then traded single runs, with VMI scoring in the third and UML doing so in the fourth, and remained tied until Malbon hit the tie-breaking blast.
Eagle then entered for the seventh and faced the minimum until the ninth, when Joey Castellanos greeted him with a hit. One out later, pinch-hitter Michael Young singled, bringing pinch-hitter Kyle Maurice up as the tying run. Eagle calmly coaxed a 4-6-3 double play to end the game and preserve the victory.
On the mound, Kyle Staats moved to 2-0 by not allowing an earned run in six strong innings. Staats walked only one and fanned five. Henry Funaro, the victim of Malbon's homer, allowed only those three runs in five relief innings but dropped to 1-3 with the loss.
Maddox led VMI offensively with another 2 for 4 effort and went 4 for 8 while catching both ends of the doubleheader. Castellanos had the lone multi-hit game for the visitors, going 2 for 4.
VMI baseball will return to action Wednesday, when the Keydets travel to Norfolk to face the Old Dominion Monarchs at 6 p.m.
UML - Ryan; Tomczyk (6); Constant (8); Rand (9) and Passatempo.
VMI - Kent; Tremblay (5); Geary (8); Nichols (8); Clines (8) and Maddox.
UML - Duffley; Funaro (4) and Barry.
VMI - Staats; Eagle (7) and Maddox.

The Only Living Boy(s) Around?
This gem was recorded in late 2000 for inclusion on 2001's Know By Heart. There's an earlier version that was released on a 7" single in 1999, but I much prefer this later one. I thought it would've figured nicely onto an album that already had songs like "Kindness", "The Postman", and "Aaron & Maria". I also thought this version elegantly demonstrated how much our band had grown in such a short time.
Once the first AmAnSet singles & unreleased compilation came together in early 2001, it was clear that "The Only Living Boy Around" had to be be yanked from the new album. New performance aside, releasing the same song in two years is pushing it. Releasing the same song twice in a summer is silly and so "Gone To Earth" took its place on Know By Heart.
This fancier version was given to the magazine Comes with a Smile #10 in 2002 and so it was also included on the second AmAnSet singles and unreleased compilation, Hard to Find, in 2009.
"Gone To Earth" and "The Only Living Boy Around" are also tied together in AmAnSet recording lore as they sport the same mixing snafu. Both songs feature a second guitar recorded over a sloppily erased percussion track. "Gone To Earth" begins with a maracca being picked up and then disappears when the 2nd guitar was punched in. "The Only Living Boy Around" ends with the last gasp of a spirited tambourine performance that peeks through after the 2nd guitar was punched out. In both cases, I got used to hearing the errant percussion in the rough mixes and missed them when they were cleaned up.
"That's pretty good... but can you turn up the mistakes? I need more mistakes."

Rent a Dumpster in Newbury Now!
Simply give us a call and we will answer any questions you may have about the Newbury dumpster rental procedure, allowed materials, size you may need, etc.
Our roll off containers can usually be delivered in Newbury the day after you place your order. Make sure to call us early to ensure timely delivery.
A front load dumpster has mechanical arms that that lift containers off the ground. The arms tilt to pour the debris into the truck's dumpster. This really is a useful option for companies that collect considerable amounts of garbage.
While roll off dumpsters are normally left on location, front load dumpsters will come pick up debris on a set program. This makes it feasible for sterilization professionals to remove garbage and junk for multiple dwellings and companies in the region at affordable prices.
When you rent a temporary dumpster, your aim is to fill it up and have the waste hauled away. But should you want your waste recycled, you may need to really go about it in a slightly different way. Waste in most temporary dumpsters is not recycled because the containers are so large and carry so much stuff.
If you're interested in recycling any waste from your job, check into getting smaller containers. Many dumpster rental firms in Newbury have a wide range of containers available, including those for recycling. All these are normally smaller than temporary dumpsters; they are the size of routine trash bins and smaller.
Should you want to recycle, learn whether the company you are working with uses single stream recycling (you do not need to sort the stuff) or in the event you'll need to organize the recyclable stuff into different containers (aluminum cans, cardboard, plastics, etc.) This will really make a difference in the variety of containers you need to rent.
Building Dumpster Rental in Newbury - Do You Need One?
The most frequent exception to this rule is when you have a truck that is big enough to transport all building debris to a landfill or landfill drop off point. If you're working on a small bathroom remodeling job, for instance, you could find that you can fit all of the debris in a truck bed.
Other than very little projects, it is suggested that you rent a dumpster in Newbury for building projects.
If you aren't certain whether your municipality accepts building debris, contact the city for more info. You'll probably find that you will have to rent a dumpster in Newbury. Setting debris out for garbage removal could possibly lead to fines.
When you rent a roll off dumpster, you will be enticed to throw anything and everything indoors. Common things which folks normally dispose of in a dumpster comprise solid waste material and most routine home and building waste, together with tree limbs and landscaping debris. They can also be used for company and commercial cleanouts, home renovations, getting rid of junk when you're moving to a brand new home, larger landscaping occupations and more.
A record of things you CAn't put in a roll off dumpster comprises paints and solvents, automotive fluids, pesticides, chemicals, electronic equipment and batteries. If you attempt to include these things, you'll likely get an extra fee. Other things which will definitely incur an additional fee include tires, mattresses and appliances. Extra heavy materials are also not allowed; things that are too heavy may exceed authorities transfer regulations and be dangerous to haul.
When in doubt, it is best to get in touch with your rental company to get a record of stuff that you just can't place into the dumpster.
One of the greatest concerns you probably have when renting a dumpster in Newbury is how much it will cost. Among the most effective approaches to negate this fear is to get exact advice. When you call to get a price quote, have a good idea of how much waste you'll need to get rid of so you can get the most effective recommendation on dumpster size. In case you are unsure on the quantity of waste, renting a size bigger will save you the additional expense of renting another dumpster if the first proves too small.
Supply any info you believe is applicable to ensure you don't end up paying for services that you don't actually need. More than a few companies charge by the container size, while others charge by weight. Be sure you know which is which so you have a clear estimate. Likewise, be sure to request if the estimate you receive includes landfill feesthis is going to keep you from being surprised by an additional fee after.

Tour of Somerset Hills – Competitive bicycle racing through the historic Somerset Hills region in New Jersey.
While watching stages of the recent Tour de France the thought came up of how great would it be if there were a bike tour that showcased some of the most beautiful areas of New Jersey in the historic Somerset Hills area of northern Somerset County New Jersey. It's The Tour of Somerset Hills, a high energy tour through the towns of Basking Ridge, Bernardsville, Peapack, Gladstone, Far Hills and ending in Bedminster.
The premise of the route is to challenge the cyclist and give them a one time opportunity to take over the roads of one of the most historic areas of New Jersey giving townships prime viewing capabilities. The tour would be a mix of flat areas and climbs.
Photo: A previous Tour in Basking Ridge called the Base Camp International Bike Race held in 2012.
The proposed route starts in historic downtown Basking Ridge. The route then travels north past the historic Ross Farm and the Old Mill Inn and the former homes to the famous Childs restaurant chain family. Traveling west down Childs Road there's a brief stretch along Route 202 through downtown Bernardsville. Then it's a hard right turn and a climb into the Bernardsville Mountain Colony, known for some of the most beautiful estates of the landed gentry from the early 1900's industrial age. Then the hill climb shifts through the beautiful winding roads of Peapack and Gladstone. A hard left onto Main Street takes you past the historic Natarir estate to the Far Hills fairgrounds. The left next takes you through the historic towns of Grant Schly's Far Hills and over to the Larger Cross farmlands of Bedminster. The final stretch is a farmland flat track to the finish at the historic Jacobus Vanderveer House and park.

Bananas Puzzle Details:
About: All widely cultivated bananas today descend from the two wild bananas Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. While the original wild bananas contained large seeds, diploid or polyploid cultivars (some being hybrids) with tiny seeds are preferred for human raw fruit consumption. Lacking viable seeds, propagation typically involves farmers removing and transplanting part of the underground stem. Export bananas are picked green, and ripen in special rooms upon arrival in the destination country. Bananas are eaten deep fried, baked in their skin in a split bamboo, or steamed in glutinous rice wrapped in a banana leaf. Bananas can be made into jam.
