Round 20 of the AFL season concludes on Sunday and is headlined by the 48th Western Derby between West Coast and Fremantle at Optus Stadium.
The bottom-placed Blues snared a rare win last weekend when they unexpectedly defeated the Suns by 35 points at Metricon Stadium.
They face an uphill battle if they hope to make it two wins in a row when they host the GWS Giants on Sunday afternoon.
The Blues are $8 underdogs at Sportsbet to win, with the Giants $1.08 favourites.
GWS are surging in the late part of the season, winning seven of their past eight games. Their only loss in that span was to the Eagles in Perth.
After a terrible first half of the year, GWS are now just two points outside the top four, after featuring in the preliminary finals during the past two seasons.
They enjoy playing at Etihad Stadium, which ranks behind the Gabba as the away venue where they enjoy the most success in the AFL.
The Giants have won four of the past five times these two sides met, with the Blues sole victory in that span a nail-biting one-point win in round 12, 2017.
Carlton will be full of confidence and will want nothing more than to win in front of their home fans for only the second time this season.
In a boost for the Blues, forward Charlie Curnow successfully appealed his one-match suspension for a high strike on Gold Coast's Steven May.
Despite that good news, the Giants are welcoming forward Jeremy Cameron back into their side after a five-game suspension.
Cameron's return will be a welcome boost to Leon Cameron's team, who were 4-1 in his absence.
The line of 46.5-points is on the high side for an interstate side in Melbourne, but the Giants are playing supremely well at the moment and will be hard to shutdown for four quarters.
The Demons return from two matches away from the MCG unlucky to not have added two wins to their season tally.
An after-the-siren loss to Geelong was followed by a narrow 13-point win against Adelaide which keeps their hopes for a top four berth alive.
The Dees are the shortest priced favourites of the round at $1.04 at Sportsbet to defeat the 17th placed Suns, who are paying $11.
After the biggest upset in recorded AFL sports betting history in round 18 when they toppled the Swans, the Suns put in a limp second half to lose to the Blues by 35 points.
They now face a trip to the MCG where they have a 25 per cent win record to take on a hungry Melbourne side with plenty to play for.
Melbourne has defeated the Suns in their last five meetings, the most recent a 69-point win at the Gabba in round eight this season.
That match was punctuated by an eight-goal final quarter and five-goal haul to forward Tom McDonald.
The Suns have beaten the Dees at the MCG in 2013 and 2014, but Sunday's Melbourne team is far better than that side which were at the bottom of the table.
Melbourne start as enormous 64.5-point favourites at Sportsbet, with the Suns losing by that margin or greater four times this season.
Conversely Melbourne have won only two games by that margin or greater this season, but with more to play for, the pendulum swings in the Demons favour to win this match comfortably.
West Coast hosts the 48th Western Derby on Sunday afternoon, with a win furthering their chances of a top-two finish.
The Eagles are $1.15 favourites to win the match, after winning their past six matches against the Dockers.
Freo are $5.50 outsiders at Sportsbet, with their last Derby victory coming in round three, 2015 by five goals.
Earlier this season, the Eagles were victorious by eight points in front of a then-record Derby crowd of 56,521 people.
West Coast are equal one game clear in second spot on the ladder and coming off a last-start 40-point loss to North in Hobart.
The Eagles were without Luke Shuey and Josh Kennedy for the match, with the side struggling this season, particularly without Kennedy.
When the star forward has missed game-time through injury in recent weeks, the Eagles have managed only one win and three losses.
Despite managing seven wins this season, the Dockers form over the past month has dropped off. Besides a narrow win against Port Adelaide who were injury ravaged and in treacherous conditions, the Dockers have lost three matches by an average of 47 points.
The Eagles have more to play for and will be too good for Freo in one of footy's biggest grudge matches.

You couldn't help but giggle, sitting behind wizened little Stanley Marcus at the world premiere of Blind Lemon: Prince of Country Blues as actors sang or spoke lines like "I can't even make enough money to buy me a loaf of bread." You had to wonder whether Marcus, who was attending a benefit night for producing entity Documentary Arts, could relate to Dallas' most influential bluesman, who started off dirt-poor and died in relative affluence, a hugely successful recording artist who may have frozen to death in Chicago, where he recorded his most famous songs from 1926 to '29. One individual in the audience introduced himself during intermission to the buttoned-down, cane-carrying Mr. Marcus and said something like, "It's a pleasure to be in the same room with two pieces of Dallas history."
That was, of course, a well-intentioned compliment phrased clumsily, sort of like when a Fort Worth audience member referred to a visiting Lauren Bacall a couple of years back as a "relic from Hollywood's Golden Age." Yet there was a certain thrill being in the audience of the Majestic's basement Experimental Theater for Blind Lemon: Prince of Country Blues. As a native Dallasite, a blues devotee (more so of the female singers in that genre), and a current resident of Deep Ellum, I was sometimes fascinated by the narrative of the play--written by historian Alan Govenar and actor Akin Babatunde, who also directed. Blind Lemon Jefferson was a sightless black man who felt his way with a cane across the railroad tracks to sing and play guitar at the corner of Elm and Central in Deep Ellum, a place where ethnic immigrants and African-Americans mingled for commerce and contraband, partying and professional transactions.
Office of Cultural Affairs member Margie Reese has said she wants Blind Lemon to be a signature piece for Dallas, and with that she's on to something far more significant than Trinity River levees or a new sports arena or a Starbucks in Oak Cliff. This burg will never be a "world-class city" until it goes back in time and investigates and understands its colorful historical figures. Dallas' biggest sin is a monomaniacal obsession with the future to the neglect of the past. Many people around the country think we're superficial not because we lack taste or talent, but because we're clueless as to where we came from.
So, Govenar and Babatunde's Blind Lemon: Prince of Country Blues helps to satisfy a hungry void with the story of the title musician (David Peaston) who became America's best-selling blues artist for three years during the late '20s. But as pure theater, they've devised a trifle, a bloated reverie that provides poseurish flourishes where facts about the still-mysterious Blind Lemon can't be summoned. You could argue that all the amenities with which Blind Lemon Jefferson's story is outfitted in this musical are antithetical to his raw, angry, plaintive sound. While trying to fill in the blanks of a legendary performer's life, Govenar and Babatunde wind up inflating and trivializing the man's mystery. Part of the overheated quality of this production might be because there's a whole lot of twisting, gyrating, hollering, and moaning going on in what is a tiny, cheaply overhauled rehearsal space.
Dallas Summer Musicals head Michael Jenkins has said much about wanting to contribute to small, original Dallas theater, but rumor has it this underground space is way overpriced for its paltry benefits. As is, this "theater" offers many deficits--namely, overhead lights that are unintentionally positioned to blind audience members sitting in several different vantage points. The space, or lack thereof, offers a terribly claustrophobic experience for actor and ticketbuyer, who are mashed together with rows stacked three deep on either side. Under certain circumstances, this wouldn't be a big deal. From the Undermain space on Main to Theatre Too in the revamped rehearsal room for Theatre Three, Dallas is no stranger to intimate, elbow-to-elbow performances. But for the most part, edgy dramas or comedies with small casts happen in those places, and Blind Lemon: Prince of Country Blues has too mythic and musical a heart (and too big a cast) to squeeze into this miserly cabinet.
No doubt about it, there's some incredible singing in this revue, starting with David Peaston as Blind Lemon Jefferson. Govenar says that Peaston deliberately made no attempt to mimic Blind Lemon's voice--his vocals were intended to invoke a blues mood. The bald fact is, when you compare Peaston's and Jefferson's voices, Peaston has far and away the superior instrument in power and delivery. But that's part of the problem with this show--the Grammy-nominated lead actor has a voice that's too good, too polished, too much influenced by Andrae Crouch and even (dare I guess) Luther Vandross. We know this because director Akin Babatunde makes an appearance as Blind Willie Johnson, a competing bluesman, and performs a vocal cutting contest with Blind Lemon. Peaston blows Babatunde away with his elaborate lilts and twirls, but Babatunde delivers a Howling Wolf-like rasp that feels rawer and bluesier than anything else in this show. Anything, that is, except for indispensable Dallas actress Liz Mikel, who I feared would be delivering various monologues in this show but would never be allowed to showcase her daunting vocal chops. She does finally and gorgeously cut loose--as Lillian Glenn, a forgotten area blueswoman done up in Bessie Smith-ish sequins and hair feathers, belting a tune called "Cravin' a Man." Mikel makes you wonder what a musical devoted to Glenn would be like.

Spring is now in full flow (despite the snow here in the north of Scotland) and that can only mean one thing, the latest version of Ubuntu has been released.
In this review I will be highlighting the major features of Ubuntu for those of you who have never used Ubuntu before.
I will also be highlighting the new features that are available in Ubuntu 15.04.
Finally there will be a look at some of the known issues.
If you are new to Ubuntu you can download the latest version from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop.
The download page advises most users to download the 14.04.2 release which is the long term support release and this is something I will come to later on in the review.
The latest version is 15.04 and can be downloaded by scrolling down the page a bit.
Note that you can download 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Ubuntu. If you plan to dual boot with Windows 8.1, you will need the 64-bit version. The majority of modern computers are now 64-bit.
There are a number of different ways to try Ubuntu out without messing up the operating system you are currently running.
After downloading the Ubuntu 15.04 ISO (or 14.04.2) follow this guide to create a bootable Ubuntu 15.04 USB drive.
You can now either replace your current operating system with Ubuntu using the official documentation by clicking on this link or alternatively click here to dual boot Ubuntu 15.04 with Windows 7 or click here to dual boot Ubuntu 15.04 with Windows 8.1.
Click here for an article showing how to upgrade your current version of Ubuntu to 15.04.
If you are using Ubuntu 14.04 you will need to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.10 first and subsequently upgrade again to Ubuntu 15.04.
Your first impressions of Ubuntu if you have never used it before will probably depend on the operating system you are currently using.
If you are currently using Windows 7 then you will realise that the user interface for Ubuntu is very different and definitely very modern.
Windows 8.1 users will probably feel a little bit more familiar and might in fact be pleasantly surprised that the Unity desktop that comes with Ubuntu is functionally so much better than the Windows 8.1 desktop.
Ubuntu's Unity desktop has a list of icons in a bar down the left side of the screen called the launcher. Click here for a complete guide to the Ubuntu launcher.
Ubuntu and specifically Unity provides speedy navigation and the seamless integration of applications with the desktop.
The launcher is obviously very useful for opening the more commonly used applications such as the Firefox web browser, LibreOffice suite and Software Centre.
For everything else you will need to use the Dash and the easiest way to navigate the Dash is to use keyboard shortcuts. Click here for a guide to the Unity Dash.
To aid you with learning the keyboard shortcuts there is a handy key which can be made available by holding the super key (Windows key) on your keyboard for a few seconds.
Within each view there are local results and online results and for most views there is a filter. For example when you are on the music lens you can filter by album, artist, genre and decade.
The dash essentially makes it possible to perform a number of different tasks without actually having to open an application.
To connect to the internet click on the standard network icon in the top right corner as shown in the image and then choose the network you wish to connect to.
If you are connecting to a secure network you will be asked to enter the security key. You only have to do this once, it will be remembered for the next time.
As with most major distributions you have to install extra packages in order to play MP3 files and watch Flash videos.
During the installation you are asked to tick a box to be able to play MP3 files but if you didn't do that all is not lost.
There is a package within the Ubuntu Software Center called "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" which gives you everything you need.
Unfortunately installing the "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" package from within the Ubuntu Software Center has a major flaw. During the installation a license acceptance box is supposed to appear for using Microsoft's TrueType fonts.
Sometimes the license acceptance box appears behind the Software Centre window. You can access the box by clicking on the "?" icon in the launcher.
Even worse though is that sometimes the acceptance message doesn't appear at all.
To be honest the easiest way to install the "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" package is to use the terminal.
During the installation of the package the license box will appear. Press the tab key to choose the "OK" button and press enter to continue.
For those of you worrying that Ubuntu might not have the applications that you have become accustomed to with Windows need not be worried at all.
Ubuntu has everything you need to get you started including a web browser, office suite, email client, chat clients, audio player and media player.
If the type of application you require isn't installed by default then it is highly likely to be available from the Ubuntu Software Centre.
If you just want to browse you can click on the individual categories and have a good look about but for the most part you will want to use the search box to search by keyword or title.
The Ubuntu Software Centre is improving and it is definitely returning more results than it did before but it still does some particularly annoying things.
For instance if you want to install Steam you would think you search for it in the Software Centre. Sure enough there is an entry for Steam and a description. Clicking on the description states that the software isn't in your repositories.
Now click on the arrow next to "All Software" at the top and choose "Provided By Ubuntu". A new list of results appear with an option for "Valve's Steam Delivery System". Installing this package gets you the Steam client.
Why doesn't "All Software" mean All Software?
Creating custom partitions whilst installing on a blank disk throws up the message "Force UEFI Installation?" This is harmless and can be ignored.
Which version of Ubuntu should you choose?
If you are a new user and installing Ubuntu for the first time then it might be more prudent to install Ubuntu 14.04 as it has 5 years worth of support and you won't need to upgrade every 9 months.
If you are using Ubuntu 14.10 at the moment then it is definitely worth upgrading from Ubuntu 14.10 to Ubuntu 15.04 so that you remain supported.
There is absolutely no reason to install Ubuntu 14.10 as a fresh installation. You will however need to upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 14.10 in order to upgrade again to Ubuntu 15.04 if you wish to move from Ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 15.04. The alternative is to backup your important files and re-install Ubuntu 15.04 from scratch.
Ubuntu 15.04 is mainly a bug fix release with minor enhancements. There are no new must haves. The operating system is in a stable state at the moment and therefore the emphasis is definitely evolution over revolution.
New users to Ubuntu should know that the search results within the Unity dash include adverts for Amazon products and the Ubuntu license agreement states that your search results will be used to improve the products that are offered to you. It is basically the same as Google targetting results based on previous searches.
You can turn this feature off and omit online results from within the Dash.
I have always been a fan of Ubuntu but there are some things that don't seem to be getting better. For instance the Software Centre. Why can't it just return all the results from all the repositories that are selected. The button says "All Results", return all the results.
The videos lens doesn't have a filter anymore. It used to let me select the online video sources to search but that has gone.
The "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" package is so important yet there is such a fundamental glitch with the license agreement either hiding behind the software centre or not appearing at all.
The Unity desktop has been a shining light when it comes to modern desktops over the past few years but I would say that the GNOME desktop is now a better option especially when you integrate GNOME Music and GNOME Video.
I have reviewed openSUSE and Fedora recently and I can't honestly say that Ubuntu is better than either of them anymore.
The one thing Ubuntu has 100% right is the installer. It is the easiest to use and most complete out of all the installers I have tried.
Let me be clear. This version of Ubuntu isn't bad, there is nothing that seasoned Ubuntu users will find displeasing but there are enough rough edges that could put potential users off for good.
Ubuntu is still one of the shining lights for Linux and is definitely one to be considered whether you are a beginner or seasoned professional.

Hello, my name is Daina, but hey im gonna talk about my self/mylife :) I am a 16 year old teenager who has lots of drama, excitement, respect in her life or well needs to have some respect for others and from others, I guess. I was born in 1998, I was born with a dent in my chest. My father is a man who left me when i was only 9 months old. I live with my mother, step-dad, my 4 siblings but i got more siblings than that. The siblings i live with is younger than me, I have 5 siblings who dont live with me, 3 of them are out of school, graduated. My actual sister has been living with her grandmother since the last summer and my step brother is in the same grade as me.
My Mother Hannah is a great lovely person, I'm glad that she had me. My mother had 6 children. I believe that my mother loves her kids to death. She is my heroe, because she is always there for me and her kids. She cooks for us, provide things that we need. Thats what a mother should do. Even though my whole family aurgues all the time. We are still there all the way matter what.
My step-dad Jackson has been in mylife since i was prolly 4 years old when my step-dad came into my life. My dad drinks all the time. I wish he wouldnt but he just does. He lies every week where he has been. We know where he has been, he has been drinking. Do we like how that man acts? No we don't but hey do we know how we can help him? I don't think so when we tell him that we don't like him drinking, He don't ever listen, he just keeps doing it. I love my dad, he is like a real dad. He has been there for me. I hope he is in my life for a long long time.
My siblings names are Tonya, Shaye, Little Jackson, Jae, Aliya, Lakisha, Jared, Maya, and Jamaka. I don't know Little Jackson, only that he is done with school and he is older than all of us. I met him a couple times when i was little.
Tonya is one of my oldest step sisters, i never talk to her but thats another story that will be coming later in this book of my life. Shaye is my second oldest sep sister and Shaye is a really nice sister even though she can be bossy at times but than she's there. I love Shaye so much and im glad that she is in my life.
Jae is my step brother. What makes me mad is that I don't think Jae does'nt like me because he starts stuff. Like this one time he told people that i said we kissed but that was never true and it just makes me so mad. people still makes fun of me at school all the time because of that and i just don't know what to deal with thiese rumurs anymore. Pople think im gross because that rumur and it makes me sad that somebody is gonna believe a rumur.
Aliya use to be a good person, i guess she still is at times but that she goes back to a big pain in my life, haha. I will talk more about Aliya later too. Lakisha is a pain in my life too, but she is a sister who i will never forget. I love Lakisha, she is a person who would argue with someone and never stop but all of us still loves her. It hurts whn Lakisha tells every body that she don't wanna be here or that nobody likes her ,nobody wants her. That not even true, people love her and want her here for a long time.
Jared is only 8 years old he is my youngest bioligical brother who has ADHD. Jared can get really mad and then just start hiting people. But latley hes been getting better at not hitting people. Maya is 6 years old. She also has ADHD but her ADHD is severe so what that means is that she can't stop what she thinks, she just does it. My family has tried and tried to help her with it and we are still helping her.
Jamaka is 5 years old, she is my favorite sister ever. There was a time when i would never go anywhere with out her. I wouldn't even go to a friends house because of her. Jamaka was born with 4 wholes in her heart, that was why i would never leave her because every time i would go to church, school or to a friends for a while i whould think of her and be so scared. I would think of what would happen to her when i would come home? Would she not be there? Is she gone? Did my mom and her just leave and never come back? I would always think what would happen. Now i get out of the house. I still think of Jamaka so much and i love her so much. I would die for Jamaka or anybody in my life.

The Amur River: Between Russia and China
Colin Thubron (Autor)
'Thubron on top form. Richly detailed, immaculately written and full of insights and encounters that bring a complex corner of the world to life' Michael Palin
*As serialised on BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week*
**A FINANCIAL TIMES, SUNDAY TELEGRAPH AND SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR**
**ONE OF THE DAILY TELEGRAPH 'S BEST 75 BOOKS OF 2021**
A dramatic and ambitious new journey from our greatest travel writer.
The Amur River is almost unknown. Yet it is the tenth longest river in the world, rising in the Mongolian mountains and flowing through Siberia to the Pacific to form the tense, highly fortified border between Russia and China.
In his eightieth year, Colin Thubron takes a dramatic 3,000-mile long journey from the Amur's secret source to its giant mouth. Harassed by injury and by arrest from the local police, he makes his way along both the Russian and Chinese shores on horseback, on foot, by boat and via the Trans-Siberian Railway, talking to everyone he meets. By the time he reaches the river's desolate end, where Russia's nineteenth-century imperial dream petered out, a whole, pivotal world has come alive.
The Amur River is a shining masterpiece by the acknowledged laureate of travel writing, an urgent lesson in history and the culmination of an astonishing career.
'Magnificent... Colin Thubron's observations on the relationship between Russia and China are full of insight, from which the world can benefit as it faces the challenges of the twenty-first century' Jung Chang

If you're anything like me, your slow cooker is your best friend. It has, on multiple occasions, saved your neck for a last minute dinner, potluck dish, or delicious goodie for the bake sale you forgot about. We love our Crockpots, and our Crockpots love us. But little did we know that our slow cookers have so much more to offer – we just need to know how to hack them to their fullest potential! Get the most out of your Crockpot with these 11 clever tips.
Food gets caked onto slow cookers more easily than your average pot or pan; which makes sense, considering that food simmering in your Crockpot for hours on end. That being said, it's helpful to know that regular old soap and water isn't enough to really clean you Crockpot.
First, turn your Crockpot off. Fill it with water, then add some vinegar and baking soda. Turn your slow cooker back on, leaving it on the "LOW" setting, and let this sit overnight. In the morning, you'll have a spotlessly clean Crockpot!
Gingerbread cookies have a delightfully sweet, zesty bite to them, a flavor that is a game changer for your Crockpot recipes. Believe it or not, adding crumbled gingerbread or gingersnap cookies to slow cooker meat dishes like beef stew, pot roast and sauerbraten is a secret way to get the most flavorful slow cooker dishes you've ever tasted.
Most of us are tempted to just turn our Crockpot on and throw the ingredients in, but this is not the most effective way to use this handy kitchen appliance. The best way to think about your Crockpot is as a tiny oven, and it has to be preheated to cook your food in the best way possible.
This is one of THE most overlooked steps when it comes to Crockpot cooking, so only in-the-know slow cooker-users would know to include this crucial step.
Naturally, we consider our Crockpot the go-to appliance for easy meal-making, but did you know you can make things other than food in your slow cooker? Like candles, for instance! Using wax, wicks, a fragrance of your choice, and mason jars, you can make your own candles right in your Crockpot! Talk about an easy Christmas gift.
If you've ever opened up your slow cooker and found the perfectly succulent meat and horribly soggy veggies, there is a way to make the most of your culinary disaster.
Once the dish is complete, strain out the vegetables that are overcooked. You can either throw them out and serve the dish with a side of newly cooked vegetable, or puree them, then add the vegetable puree back into your sauce. If you choose to throw them out, put the remaining liquid in a saucepan and reduce it until it becomes a glaze to coat the meat.
Your slow cooker can do a lot…in fact, sometimes it can do too much. Over-using the "HIGH" setting can be a death sentence for your food, your veggies in particular.
If you want your vegetables to stay whole, don't put them in the slow cooker on high for 12 hours unless they're hard-shelled, like squashes. Softer veggies will, quite literally, melt under the pressure. When you're slow cooking vegetables, put the slow cooker on a delayed start for about three to four hours and keep it set to low.
There a million and one meat dishes that can be made in your slow cooker, but one rule applies to them all: always use room temperature meat in your Crockpot. Throwing in cold meat is not only going to take longer for your Crockpot to cook, but it will rob your dish of all its flavor.
Allowing the juices to spread evenly as the meat rises to room temperature is the best way to get that rich, caramelized flavor you crave.
This goes especially for soup! In many restaurants, "Soups of the Day" are really "Soups of Yesterday." It's not gross, it's for flavor purposes!
Soups are always better on the second day when the flavors have had more time to develop. Also, any meat dish like chili or a brisket with all that sinewy tissue will be even better the day after you've made it. So factor that in when you're planning on making certain dishes.
Chili is one of those dishes that is best made in your Crockpot! Some of the most flavorful chili we've ever had came straight from our slow cookers. However, there is one way to make that Crockpot chili ever better than it already is.
Some of us may be inclined to toss your raw meat into the slow cooker – it is a little oven, after all! But the best way to get your most tender and flavorful chili is by sauteing the meat on the stove top first. Yes, it's an extra step, but it's worth it for perfect chili.
Yes, it's tempting to use turned wine in your slow cooker recipes, but it's a big no-no. No ingredient in your Crockpot should be spoiled, especially wine; it will essentially ruin the entire taste of your meal. We know you want to drink the good stuff, but sacrifices must be made for quality cooking.
The best wines to use for Crockpot recipes are fairly dry blends with a high alcohol content; this will add more nuance and complex flavors to a slow cooker braised dish than a sugary wine or one with a low alcohol content.
And our suggestion? Buy two bottles next time! One for you, one for the Crockpot.
Crockpot aren't just good for meals, they make amazing desserts, as well! But slow-cooked baked foods tend to have a very pronounced vanilla flavor, mainly because the small amount of alcohol in the vanilla does not burn off as quickly as it would in an oven.
This causes the vanilla flavor to be more distinct, which can be a bit overpowering. To make sure this flavor isn't overwhelming to your dish, use a high-quality vanilla for slow cooker desserts, like Nielsel-Massey's vanilla extract.

In the local dialect, it means plot of Vineyard situated between two terracings. For this Sforzzato, we selected vineyard most exposed to the sunlight and the highest a.s.l., to guarantee a bigger difference between temperatures which is fundamental for the wine health and its organoleptic features. This wine is made with withered grapes and is aged for more than 10 years. It's the masterpiece of Valtellina's traditions.


Granny smith are the only acceptable apples.
I find almost all other apples to be too sweet, and I don't particularly care for the texture. I love the tartness and crunch of Granny Smiths the best.
I like those too, if the store has them this time of the year.
The ignition is broke.I can't start the car.
Why didn't you uber it?
Oo, I make these really incredible green grape and brie quesadillas. They are to die for!
Make some for me, please!
Sounds like the perfect breakfast in bed for tomorrow morning.
I went to see the grandkids instead.

'We feel sorry for Latrell': Manu's family plead for calm after brutal tackle
NRL 2021
By Adam Pengilly
August 30, 2021 — 5.00am
Joseph Manu's family has pleaded for social media users to stop attacks on Latrell Mitchell, claiming they "feel sorry" for their son's former teammate despite his tackle which left the Roosters star in hospital with severe facial fractures.
Manu's father Nooroa, who was one of the first visitors to arrive in Australia from New Zealand this year when the trans-Tasman travel bubble opened, delivered a heartfelt response as the bitter fallout between the arch rivals continued.
Just hours after Roosters captain James Tedesco urged his NSW teammate Mitchell to curb his aggression, Nooroa Manu said his family's thoughts were also with Mitchell, who won't play again until 2022.
"We actually feel sorry for Latrell," Nooroa told the Herald. "He's copping a lot of abuse and we don't want that happening. We want to make sure he's going to be all right too.
"He's very talented and we know his family, they are really good people. That's just how we feel and it's up to Joey how he feels. It was just unfortunate [what happened on Friday night]. Joey is ready to move forward and we're happy as a family. I think the main thing is we move on."
Manu had three plates inserted into his fractured cheekbone during surgery on Saturday and took to social media on Sunday to claim he was on the road to recovery.
Mitchell has sent Manu a text message since the contentious tackle, which the NRL admitted should have resulted in a sending-off rather than a sin-binning for South Sydney's biggest weapon.
The Manu and Mitchell families got to know each other when their sons were premiership-winning teammates in 2018 and 2019. Joseph and Latrell often spoke about how they spurred each other on in opposed training sessions.
As reports emerged Mitchell and Manu's teammates, including Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, were involved in a heated confrontation after the game, the NRL will determine on Monday whether Roosters coach Trent Robinson should be fined for calling the bunker "an absolute farce and laughable" for not sending Mitchell off.
The three-time premiership-winning coach has a $10,000 suspended fine hanging over his head for comments after the Roosters' loss to the Eels earlier this year. Drew Hutchison was hospitalised after being clattered by Dylan Brown's knees and Tedesco was clocked high by Marata Niukore in that game.
Roosters ace Joey Manu was re-united with his father Nooroa (far left) and mother Darnel for the first time in 15 months earlier this year. Also pictured is Joey's younger brother, Kani.
Tedesco conceded Robinson was likely to be fined for his post-match tirade after the Rabbitohs loss, and had a word of warning for Mitchell, whose judiciary record is now ranked among the worst in the game.
"He said he didn't mean it and it was an accident," Tedesco said. "It happens pretty quick when you're at fullback and I don't think Trell would do it on purpose, but it's forceful contact to the head. Whether it's accidental or not, it causes someone to break a fair amount of bones in his face … you just can't do that.
"I love Latrell. I love playing with Latrell. He's a fiery player and he plays the game in that manner. He wants to be dominant, but you've got to be careful, I guess, because he's got in trouble before making contact with the head - and it's happened again.
"His fire and passion makes him such a great player, but I guess it's finding that balance not overstepping over the line. You don't want to be breaking peoples' faces."
South Sydney lodged an early guilty plea to a grade two reckless high tackle, meaning Mitchell will miss six matches. He could have been rubbed out for nine games of he unsuccessfully challenged at the judiciary.
Rabbitohs prop Liam Knight will also be missing until the second week of the finals for a hip drop tackle on Siosiua Taukeiaho, while Dane Gagai was fined $1600 for swearing at referee Ashley Klein after being sin-binned late in the match.
The incidents will only add to the theatre around a potential finals re-match next month with the Roosters likely to face sudden death in the first week of the play-offs.
On his son, Nooroa Manu said: "It was a little bit of a scare, but he's in the right place to be recovering. It sounds like he'll make a full recovery within six weeks. He's been very lucky with injuries and this is his first real serious one. He's on the mend which is a good thing."

High Court: 'Dangerous Dog' label not needed for prosecution
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A dog suspected of posing a danger to people does not have to carry an official "dangerous dog" label under state law for prosecutors to charge an owner for violating the law, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled Tuesday.
As long as prosecutors have evidence that the dog in question would meet the definition of the law — including previously hurting someone — they can move forward with charges and prove their case at trial, the court said in resolving conflicting opinions by two lower courts.
"Because the dangerous-dog designation turns on the dog's past behavior, the statute provides fair warning to a dog owner that he or she may be subject to the dangerous-dog provisions" in the law, Justice Melody Stewart wrote in Tuesday's ruling.
At issue was an attack on a Cincinnati woman in 2016 by an American pit bull whose owner let it off its leash after seeing a stray dog ahead and wanting protection, according to court records.
The woman, who was trying to protect her Chinese Crested Dog, was bitten by the man's pit bull on her hands and wrists, records say. The man was convicted of a misdemeanor charge of failing to confine a dangerous dog. He challenged his conviction, saying his dog didn't carry the "dangerous dog" label to begin with.
Although the court said that, in general, that label isn't necessary to begin prosecutions, the justices ruled that in the Cincinnati case, prosecutors didn't have enough proof that the man's dog had posed a danger in the past.

You have a plugged condensate line. Crawl under the dash and look for a rubber tube coming out of the heater box and going thru the floor. Lay old towels under the area and pull the hose off. You'll get a flood of water. Then use a pipe cleaner and water to clear the drain hose and flush. Reinstall and you should be good to go.
Check all of your fuses. You probably blew the accessory fuse.
Not much info to go on from your question.
The simplest way to disconnect a Car Battery is by using a special battery terminal switch. This is a brass bar that attaches directly to the battery terminal and all the connecting wires go on the other end. The Knob on the middle is turned to isolate the battery.
Check battery voltage should be around 13 volts if not charge it.
The security, antitheft or lock picture/icon is a visual indication that something in the car's antitheft system is failing. In most GM cars and trucks there is a hidden system that most people are unaware even exists. From the moment you put your key in the ignition, there begins a constant line of communication between your key's security chip or transponder, to the ignition's lock cylinder, and then to the car's TDM (Theft Deterrent Module). These 3 parts are in CONSTANT communication. If the key is in the ignition, then these parts are sending signals to each other. The security light illuminates when that signal gets broken, even just for a second. When the signal breaks, the car misinterprets this as an attempt at theft and goes into antitheft mode. The car thinks its being stolen or hotwired because it is not getting that signal from YOUR specific key. This is why the security light turns on and shuts down your vehicle. This link explains it pretty well.
Check to see if you have not turned that feature off - normal feature. If not, then the door switches are bogus.
Driver side blows cold air. Can't get heater to work. Passenger side OK. What's wrong?
Heater or mode door actuator bad , possibly ! You can look on youtube for videos showing how to change . It can be easy or very hard to replace . You could have it checked for DTC's diagnostic trouble codes stored in the heater control head . dealer only !

if you have the north star motor it on drivers side tward front grill, you will find a belt cover you need to remove an you'll need a special tool most auto parts stores will rent it to you for a small fee ,it likes a large socket ,if you have the new one you'll see how it fits in socket, using a rachet with socket place over water pump and turn a 1/2 turn to left and it's out ,replace in reverse ,take care not to disturb new o ring seal ,and don't use silicone to seal it , BUT general motors strongly suggest you do use some type of motor sealant , now for the bad news =these motors are very bad with over heating issues that have plaged the north star for years , if you drain antifreeze make sure you use air purge valves to remove any air from motor (purge valve looks like a brake bleeder screw ) or it will continue to over heat, im guessing that's why your doing this , if over heating is a problem take the time to go over all aspects of the cooling system =belts, flushing motor, cooling fans working correctly ,coolant filled, well I REALLhope this helps you ,good luck with it .
follow the upper radiator hose to motor next to waterpump ,im guessing you have the north star motor.

I learned to use two finger, the first and second fingers, racing. It allows you to use the other two to blip the throttle to rev match while braking hard into a corner. Not really that useful on the street, but I still tend to do it like that. It works better , though, when you have brakes that require less effort. It does not work well (the two finger technique) on our Lario. That takes at least three, and sometimes four, fingers to squeeze the brakes hard enough with those old style disc brakes. I have seen people with modern brakes who are able to use just one finger to brake. Something else to add into the equation is that matching the available force to the force required (i.e., using two or three fingers if that is all that is required) can make it harder to lock the brakes in a panic stop situation. If you think about it, if I can easily lock the brakes using four fingers and I use four fingers, in a panic situation it is likely I will lock the brakes. If I use two fingers, and with two fingers it is much harder to lock the brakes, it is less likely I will lock the brakes in a panic situation. That has been my experience. Your experience may vary from mine.

Kanye West Involvement in Rihanna's Super Bowl Halftime Show
By AdeebaPosted on October 3, 2022 0
On Friday, September 30, Kanye West shared an Instagram post that Ye would be the guest performer during the first half of Rihanna's Super Bowl. Ye neither included a caption with the photo in the story nor did he make any subsequent or preceding posts so it is not clear whether he was confirming his involvement or indicating that he would be open to participating.
The singer shared on his Instagram story the screenshot of the DailyMail article, which read, "Rihanna is considering a list of 50 guest artists for her Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Along with Ye, the list also contained the names of Paul McCartney and Bono. The story just contained the screenshot and did not further point out any other details. There were no comments. But it is a sign of the rapper is interested in performing with Rihanna. Fans have taken this as a hint and the fans are looking forward to seeing RiRi and Ye together on the stage at Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Rihanna was absent from the music industry. She is very busy throughout all these years. She has started her fashion brands, She had become a billionaire now, and a mother to a baby boy.
Recently, Rihana and her boyfriend were spotted outside the recording studio, they may be collaborating on some new music. It will be a long wait till 2023 to know what Rihanna has in store for her fans.
According to TMZ Rihana and her boyfriend were spotted entering a music studio on Monday night, just one day after her announcement and his apology for a shortened performance at Rolling Loud New York. It will be a long wait till 2023 to know what Rihanna she had prepared for her fans.

A curious and most puzzling question might be started concerning this visual matter as touching the Leviathan. But I must be content with a hint. So long as a man's eyes are open in the light, the act of seeing is involuntary; that is, he cannot then help mechanically seeing whatever objects are before him. Nevertheless, any one's experience will teach him, that though he can take in an undiscriminating sweep of things at one glance, it is quite impossible for him, attentively, and completely, to examine any two things—however large or however small—at one and the same instant of time; never mind if they lie side by side and touch each other. But if you now come to separate these two objects, and surround each by a circle of profound darkness; then, in order to see one of them, in such a manner as to bring your mind to bear on it, the other will be utterly excluded from your contemporary consciousness.
Love fashion
How is it, then, with the whale? True, both his eyes, in themselves, must simultaneously act; but is his brain so much more comprehensive, combining, and subtle than man's, that he can at the same moment of time attentively examine two distinct prospects, one on one side of him, and the other in an exactly opposite direction? If he can, then is it as marvellous a thing in him, as if a man were able simultaneously to go through the demonstrations of two distinct problems in Euclid. Nor, strictly investigated, is there any incongruity in this comparison.
It may be but an idle whim, but it has always seemed to me, that the extraordinary vacillations of movement displayed by some whales when beset by three or four boats; the timidity and liability to queer frights, so common to such whales; I think that all this indirectly proceeds from the helpless perplexity of volition, in which their divided and diametrically opposite powers of vision must involve them.

But the ear of the whale is full as curious as the eye. If you are an entire stranger to their race, you might hunt over these two heads for hours, and never discover that organ. The ear has no external leaf whatever; and into the hole itself you can hardly insert a quill, so wondrously minute is it. It is lodged a little behind the eye. With respect to their ears, this important difference is to be observed between the sperm whale and the right. While the ear of the former has an external opening, that of the latter is entirely and evenly covered over with a membrane, so as to be quite imperceptible from without.
Is it not curious, that so vast a being as the whale should see the world through so small an eye, and hear the thunder through an ear which is smaller than a hare's? But if his eyes were broad as the lens of Herschel's great telescope; and his ears capacious as the porches of cathedrals; would that make him any longer of sight, or sharper of hearing? Not at all.—Why then do you try to "enlarge" your mind? Subtilize it.
A left-aligned image without a caption
Let us now with whatever levers and steam-engines we have at hand, cant over the sperm whale's head, that it may lie bottom up; then, ascending by a ladder to the summit, have a peep down the mouth; and were it not that the body is now completely separated from it, with a lantern we might descend into the great Kentucky Mammoth Cave of his stomach. But let us hold on here by this tooth, and look about us where we are. What a really beautiful and chaste-looking mouth! from floor to ceiling, lined, or rather papered with a glistening white membrane, glossy as bridal satins.

This fall Michigan wedding embodies the cozy romance of the season perfectly. Her shawl and veil are so classic and the decor is spot-on seasonal. Many hands pitched in to make this romantic affair and all the little details add up to a magical, autumnal wedding day.
From the bride. We envisioned a classic vintage-rustic wedding with a cozy feel. I have a lot of respect for the women of the 1930s-1950s, they were always gorgeous, showing off their assets without being sleazy. I didn't want it to feel like a stuffy formal event, I wanted everyone to feel like they were just in their backyard with a few good friends celebrating.
Vintage, Rustic, Cozy, and classic. We used all fall colors (oranges, reds, wines, browns) to create something vintage, rustic, cozy and classic. My aunt Lori, the creative genius in my family, hand-painted a few signs and our table numbers, as well as painted Mr and Mrs white pumpkins. She also created all of my place cards, he "happily ever after" sign and table numbers were painted on recycled old barn wood.
My mom, sister, and I dried hydrangeas for the ceremony decorations and created the arrangements that hung on the chairs lining the ceremony aisles. My mom also dried apples and put them in my lanterns as decoration.
Any advice for brides planning their weddings now? 1)Use the INTERNET, this was my saving grace, if I thought of an idea I would google it and try to find similar ideas to use as inspiration or hints so I wasn't re-writing the book! 2) Try to use local vendors it usually cuts the price dramatically 3) Choose a Master and Mistress of ceremonies that are organized and handle pressure well. They handle and deal with all the stress that day so you don't have to! I don't know what I would have done without my aunt and uncle.
that is one crazy unique venue! i love the ceiling.
love her fur shrug! and the dried flowers are such a great idea. this wedding is gorgeous!
oh my goodness! that barn! that fur shawl! the colors! this is just too gorgeous.
These photos are amazing!!! Beautiful beautiful work!!!
I really love the feathers in the bouquet!! and the black lilies look so elegant!!
The bouquet, the venue, the decor…all fabulous. Thank you for sharing!

Q: How to do "Surround-with" to a selected word with free-text(not predefined) in Visual Studio 2010, like in Vim Like in Vim after install Surround plugin, user can select a word and then press "s" key, then input a tag or any free-text he want to use to surround the selected word.
I know in Visual Studio you can press c-k c-s to wake up a surround-with snippets selection, but they are predefine tags, is there a way to let user type the tag on the fly? or does VS snippets support this, any example?

A: You can create your own templates to do what your asking
