But, have no fear — here's a few suggestions on what to do with them.

I tried 100 time to upgrade my tickets two nights ago at the Heat vs Hawks game. I never did get notification on the app that I'd secured upgraded tickets.

So I requested a refund. And this stupid app admin has REFUSED TO REFUND my money. What jerks!!
Please fix the problem that every time we get an notification it pops the red number pops up. No other sports app does that.

Violence hits Algeria ahead of vote
Seven Algerian soldiers and four civilians have been killed in attacks in eastern Algeria as voters prepare for a referendum.
24 Sep 2005 19:30 GMT
Abdelaziz Bouteflika: Reconcil-iation is the only way forward
The latest outbreak of violence is part of a 13-year-long battle in this North African country, where voters are to take part in a referendum on Thursday on a presidential peace plan that would wipe the legal slate clean for many groups.
The Algerian daily Liberte reported that suspected members of the Salafist group, in the town of Selma about 250km east of Algiers, had attacked a military patrol charged with protecting electricity workers who were putting up a power line on Thursday.
A homemade roadside bomb was detonated, immobilising a military vehicle. The attackers then opened fire, killing seven soldiers and two workers, the report said. Four other soldiers were injured.
The same day, two people were killed near the town of Tamalous, about 450km east of the capital, at a roadblock set up by an armed group of about 30 people, Liberte said.
"It is very important for us, for our children to be able to go home in tranquillity"
Lalia Benabdelkader,
overseas Algerian voter
About 150,000 people have died in fighting in Algeria since 1992, after the military cancelled the country's first multiparty legislative elections when it became evident that the now-banned Islamic Salvation Front party - known by its French acronym, FIS - would win.
The army installed President Abdelaziz Bouteflika in 1999 in what was widely declared a fraudulent election but claimed neutrality in his 2004 landslide re-election victory, according to the US government's CIA website.
Bouteflika has reiterated that leaders of the FIS are barred from exercising any political activities, Aljazeera reported.
Addressing a campaign rally to win support for the referendum to bring reconciliation after the civil strife, Bouteflika said, "Those who ignited the crisis in Algeria could not be allowed to exercise any political activities in the country."
The leader of an Algerian Islamist party on Saturday gave Bouteflika's reconciliation proposal cautious support.
In an interview with Aljazeera, Abdullah Jab Allah, the leader of the National Reform Movement in Algeria, said the proposal was "the most that could be attained amid the current circumstances in the country".
Jab Allah called on Algerians to support Bouteflika's proposal, although he said it was more of an amnesty than a reconciliation.
Voters abroad
Meanwhile, almost one million Algerians living abroad got the chance to vote from Saturday on a referendum.
Voting by the 903,727 Algerian voters registered abroad, including 761,753 in France, takes place from Saturday to Thursday.
Algerians living in France started
casting votes on Saturday
The charter would end legal proceedings against groups "who have already halted their armed activity and surrendered to the authorities" but exclude "those involved in mass massacres, rapes and bomb attacks in public places".
There was a festive atmosphere as hundreds of Algerians converged on a sports centre in France's southern city of Marseille to vote.
"It is very important for us, for our children to be able to go home in tranquillity," said Lalia Benabdelkader, one of the voters.
Boycott urged
On Monday, Bouteflika told a rally in the northeastern region of Kabylie: "There is no other alternative solution" than the proposed charter.
Algeria's opposition Socialist Forces Front has called for a boycott of the charter, arguing that it "cannot endorse a text that glorifies force and deprecates political mediation, consecrates impunity and amnesty, and in the end negotiates away pain and suffering".
Algeria's overseas voters, who can vote in about 300 voting stations in 113 centres, are spread across North Africa, central and southern Africa and Asia, Britain, Belgium and beyond.

LV BET as the Official Betting Partner of the Vanarama National League
10/05/2019 27/05/2019 Damian K. Gambling Industry News
The National League is pleased to announce LV BET as the Official Betting Partner of the Vanarama National League. The partnership commences with the National League Promotion Final at Wembley on Saturday, the 11th of May and will continue throughout the 2019/20 season.
The National League is the highest level of the National League System and fifth-highest of the overall English football league system.
While all of the clubs in the top four divisions of English football are professional, the National League has a mixture of professional and semi-professional clubs, with the final match played at Wembley.
CEO of The National League, Michael Tattersall, said:
'We are delighted to have LV BET on board for the play-offs and the 2019/20 campaign. LV BET will be a new sponsor of our showpiece Promotion Final at Wembley and will support the growth of The National League whilst promoting responsible gambling'.
LVbet operates across Europe with a number of sponsorships and sees this partnership with the National League as part of a firm strategy to increase presence in the UK.
Adrian Sidowski, CEO of LV BET, said:
'We're thrilled to launch a partnership with the National League ahead of this season's play-offs and honoured to be present at Wembley for the Promotion Final on the 11th of May.
With 68 teams across three divisions, we're excited to showcase our products with special promotions to all fans at LVBET.com and also by creating content to be shared digitally and socially'.
This is not the first sponsorship activity in the United Kingdom; LV BET sponsors the PFC Victoria London, sponsored the German National Ice Hockey Team and Kölner Haie, a team from the Deutsche Eishockey League.
In Poland, LV BET is the main sponsor of Wisla Krakow and Arka Gdynia; also, a previous sponsor of the European Volleyball Championship (Euro Volley Poland 2017).
LV BET is constantly sponsoring sports teams because they believe through discipline and teamwork a lot can be accomplished; victory goes way beyond the pitch.

Ballachulish Undecided On Marine Harvest North Division 1 Switch.
Ballachulish are undecided about the possibility joining Marine Harvest North Division 1 for the 2012 shinty season following their AGM on Friday 9 December 2011.
The club discussed the Camanachd Association proposal to switch leagues at their AGM without coming to a final decision. However there is a feeling within the club that staying in Marine Harvest South Division 1 will provide a better platform to nurture their younger players and so a switch is unlikely.

Ivana Trump, Donald Trump's first wife, dies at 73, family says
By Breaking News Team, Cox Media Group National Content Desk
July 14, 2022 at 4:31 pm EDT
Ivana Trump dead at 73 Ivana Trump, the former wife of President Donald Trump, has died, family members said Thursday in a statement. She was 73. (NCD)
Ivana Trump, the ex-wife of former President Donald Trump, has died, family members said Thursday. She was 73.
The 45th president confirmed Ivana Trump's passing in a statement on Truth Social, the social media site he founded last year. Ivana and Donald Trump were married from 1977 until 1992.
"I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City," Donald Trump wrote.
"She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life. Her pride and joy were her three children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. She was so proud of them, as we were all so proud of her. Rest In Peace, Ivana!"

In a statement obtained by The Associated Press, the Trump family remembered Ivana Trump as "an incredible woman -- a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and a caring mother and friend."
"Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion and determination," the family said, according to the AP. "She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children and ten grandchildren."

Family members did not say how Ivana Trump died. Unidentified police sources told the New York Post that authorities found Ivana Trump dead of a suspected cardiac arrest at her home in Manhattan on Thursday afternoon. Officials told WABC that Ivana Trump was found at the bottom of a set of stairs, but that the death did not appear to be suspicious. Authorities are investigating to determine the cause and manner of her death.
Donald and Ivana Trump were a well-known New York City power couple in the 1980s until their highly publicized and contentious divorce. In recent years, Ivana Trump had been on good terms with her former husband, the AP reported.

During the couple's marriage, Ivana Trump played a key role in helping to build her husband's real-estate empire, according to The New York Times. She had a hand in several of Donald Trump's early signature projects, including the development of Trump Tower in Manhattan, the newspaper reported. She also served as vice president for interior design for his company, the Trump Organization, according to the Times.
Born as Ivana Zelnickova on Feb. 20, 1949, in the former Czechoslovakia, Ivana Trump immigrated to Canada before modeling brought her to New York City in the 1970s, Forbes reported. She met Donald Trump in 1976, according to business magazine.
Donald Trump was her second husband, the AP reported, and she went on to marry two other times before her death. From 1995 to 1997, Ivana Trump was married to Italian businessman Riccardo Mazzucchelli, the Post reported. She married Italian actor Rossano Rubicondi in a lavish ceremony at Mar-a-Lago in 2008, though the couple divorced a short while later, according to US Weekly.
Ivana Trump is survived by her mother, her three children and 10 grandchildren, family members said.

INTERVIEW: Haneri
Posted on June 28, 2017 by musicmusingsandsuch
PHOTO CREDIT: @oneclickwonders
ONE hears the music of Haneri and is instantly blown away.
I talk to the young songwriter about changing names (from Daphne Khoo) and what 'Haneri' signifies. She gives me an insight into the new single, Burning Up, and whether it was challenging filming the video – one of the most emotion-draining and raw I have seen this year. Haneri talks about the fact her music has been picked up in so many countries – accruing popularity around the globe right now. Looking ahead; she talks about touring and where we can catch her play.
Although born in Singapore; Haneri is based in L.A. – I ask how the music scenes differ and whether her heart belongs to Singapore or the U.S. I learn more about the artists that compel her and am told what advice she offers to songwriters emerging onto the scene.
Hi, Haneri. How are you? How has your week been?
It's been pretty good so far. I'm on tour in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and it's always nice to be here.
I'm always well-fed and the audiences are always amazing.
For those new to your work, can you introduce yourself, please?
I'm Haneri, formerly Daphne Khoo (hopefully, I won't have to be doing that too much). Born in Perth, Australia; grew up in Singapore – and I currently reside in Los Angeles.
I've been making music and writing since I was twelve and probably singing since I was able to talk. I started my singing career in Singapore after some time on Singapore Idol – but it's been a long time since then and I like to think I've left that little sixteen-year-old behind – and have gone through many phases in my music since then.
What compelled the name change to 'Haneri'? Does it have special significance and symbolism?
I wanted a brand-new start.
I had jumped all over the place with my releases in terms of genre and, since I started top-lining and featuring on a bunch of E.D.M. releases, I wanted to really brand myself and give myself a chance to be a little more honest under an alias – almost giving myself permission to sing and write about things that I never would have had the guts to release or write as 'Daphne'.
Burning Up is out now. What can you tell us about the song and its origination?
Well, very honestly, I have to give Zack Djurich a lot of the credit.
He's a friend I met in school in Boston and we had never really written together till he told me he had this track that he had been sitting on – and we finished the song in one session (which doesn't always happen) and were pretty pumped about it.
A bunch of tweaks later, Burning Up was born!
The inspiration behind it was my own run-in with abusive/toxic relationships and how I had heard so many of my friends going through the same things – and not having anyone to pull them out of it at the time.
I guess, in that moment, I was feeling the burn from the past and needed to find a way to sing about it. Not just for myself, but to let people who listened to the song know that they weren't alone – that these kinds of relationships happen so often and that if you're in one; you need to get out…now.
The song is part of New Music Friday in nine countries – including Singapore and Norway. How does that make you feel?
Honestly, I don't know how to feel.
I'm overjoyed and I definitely have Charlotte (Project Light Agency) and the Spotify teams to thank for allowing me to be on this amazing playlist in all these countries!
The video looks like it was quite emotional and tough. What was it like filming it?
I've never considered myself an actress but Ryan Tan (Director) was so patient and incredible at getting me into a mode.
He was (just) very honest while some of the shots were being filmed; I slid into the frame of mind necessary pretty easily with his help.
Does this mean we are going to see an album or E.P. later in the year?
I definitely have a bunch of new music in the works.
Can't tell you exactly what, but follow my socials for updates!
Since appearing on Singapore Idol, you have played prominent stages including Singapore Day in Melbourne; a solo ticketed concert at the Esplanade Recital Studio; and Mosaic Music Festival. What has been your most-prized memory and how do you think you've grown as an artist?
I think performing at the opening ceremony at the 2015 SEA Games has probably been the highlight of my career thus far – that, and having had Amber and Luna from f(x) and R3verb release something I co-wrote.
I think I've grown as an artist as I've grown as a human being. My experiences and how I've experienced music are intertwined and one definitely affects the other.
I've learned to allow myself time to adventure; to open my mind and be open to anything – and it's given me a multitude of stories that I've yet to tell through my music.
Be it in the lyrics or the sounds. It's really exciting to be working with producers like Zack that bring those experiences to life!
Burning Up has some 1980s nods and modern Electronic sounds. Who were the artists you grew up listening to – that inspired your music now?
Sooooo mannyyy!
I listened to Whitney Huston, Mariah Carey; Celine Dion, Shania Twain; Trisha Yearwood, Britney Spears; The Moffats, Christina Aguilera; Coldplay, All American Rejects; Jimmy Eat World…. The list goes onnnnnn.
You split your time between L.A. and Singapore. How does the music scene of both places differ? Which do you feel most 'at home' in?
Well, I just started in L.A. and my family is all in Singapore – so I definitely feel more at home in Singapore.
But, if we're talking about the stage, I mostly feel at home on any stage.
Can we expect to see you tour at any point this year? Where about might you be headed?
I'm on tour right now!
Over the next year, I'll probably only do shows within the U.S. and Singapore.
But who knows? Like I said: I'm keeping an open mind!
Is there any plan to visit the U.K.? What do you think of the music and people here?
I would LOVE to visit and play in the U.K.
It's always been a dream and when I was thinking of being based somewhere else, the U.K was high up there on the list!
Are there any new artists you recommend we check out?
I just found out about MILCK who is INCREDIBLE – so definitely check her out (she's not new I'm just slow but, seriously, you won't be disappointed).
The Night Game (inspired a lot of Haneri's style) also slow on this but I only found out about Vulfpeck in the last six months.
I'm obsessed – and lastly – after a colleague of mine introduced ALOHAHA to me – who is also not new but again, great listen and worth listening to.
If you had to select three albums that have meant the most to you; which would they be and why?
Man, that's so hard: it's like asking me to pick my favourite family member – which, of course, I can't do.
But, really, if I had to they'd be:
Death Cab for a Cutie – Plans
Betty Who – The Valley
John Mayer – Room for Squares
These aren't necessarily my favourite albums… there are just too many but these albums mean a LOT to me.
What advice would you give to any new artists starting out right now?
It's gonna be a long road: don't let anyone tell you it will be easy.
But, reach for genuine smiles from people and from yourself. Wake up grateful you can do what you love; then get on with it.
Those songs won't write themselves!
Finally, and for being a good sport, you can name a song and I'll play it here (not one of yours as I'll do that).
Haha, YAY! A treat!
I'm currently obsessed with Lorde's Supercut
Thanks so, so much!

Why Not Get Moving?
What it means to be male: from macho Scandinavians to workaholic British dads
From Sweden to South Africa, masculine norms are shifting. Theo Merz analyses new research which reveals how men's roles and expectations are changing, all over the world

By Theo Merz
11:56AM BST 15 Oct 2013
"This isn't our fathers' world, so what is it?" asks Gary Barker of the Promundo Institute, who has led research into what it means to 'be a man' across the globe.
According to his research for the Brazil-based institute (which aims to "transform gender norms and power relations within key institutions"), stereotypically macho Latin Americans are now increasingly taking on childcare duties; while those in equality-driven Scandinavian countries are wondering whether their vision of masculinity is really what men (or women) want.
Here, Barker explains to Telegraph Men how the state of masculinity around the globe in shifting.
What are the Seven Stages of Marriage?

The baby name dilemma: sensible English or crazy Californian?
I was caught up in a drive-by shooting
"It's true that there's still a macho culture in Brazil and other parts of Latin America, but this is changing. There's been tremendous policy advances in Brazil, and there's everyday sexism that's just not allowed any more.
"There's a growing acceptance among men with a higher education that they will do more work in the house and look after the children.
"On the other hand, close to half the men we interviewed said they had paid for sex in their life - compared to around 10 per cent of men in our other international studies. Brazilian men also had one of the highest rates of binge drinking in any country we looked at.
"There's been a lot of effort to enforce stricter laws regarding violence against women, but we found that most men perceive those moves negatively: up to 80 per cent of men are opposed to a law making it illegal for a man to physically abuse his wife. They say it would make it too easy for charges to be brought against men."
Snapshot in stats:
- 60 per cent of Brazilian men said they do as much or more housework as their partner
- Only 26 per cent of women in the country agreed
- 24 per cent of men admitted they have been physically violent towards a female partner
"The amount men participate in childcare has slipped slightly in recent years, but they still have the gold standard in the world of an expectation that men will contribute around the home.
"The Norwegian Prime Minister had his Justice and Family Affairs ministers on paternity leave at the same time a couple of years ago and there was a photo in the papers of him holding their two babies. The message was: take your paternity leave, your jobs will be waiting for you when you come back. I thought, 'wow, is there anywhere else in the world where you'd have that?'
"On the other hand, a lot of what I hear younger men talking about is how it can feel like a politically-correct straitjacket. They're so expected to be these gender-equitable Nordics that they feel like they're being policed the whole time.
"We even hear Norwegian and Swedish women say: 'We're not so sure that soft masculinity is everything we want.' We have to be careful that equality in certain things doesn't mean some kind of androgyny.
"I think there's some deep identity confusion around whether a man can both hunt and push a pram in Scandinavia."
- 15 per cent of men in Norway said they work less than a normal working week to spend more time with their family
- 58 per cent of young men said gender equality has now gone far enough
- 13 per cent of those surveyed rated themselves as "very masculine". Most (63 per cent) said they were "rather masculine".
"In countries where we have the household data, South Africa has the highest number of reports of men saying they have used different forms of sexual violence. In one survey, carried out in two of the country's provinces, 28 per cent of men said they had committed rape.
"The apartheid era emasculated black African men. Black men were called "boys". Many were sent off to work in the mines, leaving women to run the families. The legacy of that is still apparent: you've got several generations of men feeling there's not really a role for them in the household. There's also lingering social exclusion and high rates of inequality that continue in the townships, and what kind of role do you have if you can't be a provider?
"A high percentage of the country depends on government support. Women are the recipients in more than 90 per cent of child support cases - it makes sense, but you have a public policy that supports the matriarchal family because it hasn't worked out what to do with men. Fortunately, there are some very clever people in the South African government now working on how to get men involved."
- 45 per cent of young men in South Africa are unemployed
- 14 per cent of men surveyed said they had raped a current or ex-partner
- Women devote twice as much time to housework than men, on average
"Russia has the biggest gap between men's life expectancy and women's, and it's all lifestyle related: diet, drink, smoking, depression.
"There's the stereotype that Russian men are very chivalrous, but hand-in-hand with that is the idea that women should acquiesce to men. So the flipside of the chivalry is that women are expected to be at their man's beck and call. They do the housework and look after the children.
"However, we are seeing a huge roll out of father preparation courses in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. For example, Ukraine has around 1,500 people who train groups of young and expectant fathers. So there is actually vast diversity in the former Soviet Bloc."
- The average life expectancy for Russian men is 63. For women it is 75.
- 87 per cent of deputies in the Russian parliament are men
- Men can take up to 140 days paternity leave at full pay
"Of all the countries we've looked at, India is one of the most conservative. There is a high acceptance among men that women are not their equals and that equality is not something they are ready for.
"Everywhere else we surveyed, men said they did more housework than women gave them credit for. In India, the message was clear: women said men did no housework and the men agreed. Often the women said that they would have a sense of shame if their husbands or sons did housework.
"Some advertisements in Mumbai and New Delhi are beginning to show men doing things around the house, but for now that only applies to the urban elite."
- 80 per cent of Indian men said childcare was the mother's responsibility
- 16 per cent said they did the same amount or more household chores than their partner
- 98 per cent of men in stable relationships said they were sexually satisfied
"The data suggests that, for its income and living levels, Britain should be more like the Scandinavian states in terms of gender equality. But studies show that British men do a lower proportion of domestic work than their Scandinavian counterparts, and are less involved in childcare. Anecdotally, you notice a lot more men pushing prams around Oslo and Stockholm than you do in London.
"The UK does have progressive social policies, but the work-life balance reminds me of the US; there's still quite a masculine, office-based work culture. Of men with children under the age of six, 90 per cent are working, compared with 62 per cent of women."
- British men do 27 per cent of cooking and household chores
- In Sweden, that figure is 37 per cent
- In one study, 25 per cent of boys said they would like to work in a caring profession, but only 2 per cent were offered the opportunity to explore this option by career advisors

The Wales Way
The Cambrian Way
Go your own way...
Multi-modal travel on The Cambrian Way
Do the whole thing on horseback, bike or foot - just follow our long-distance trails.
In the big green spaces of the Cambrian Mountains uplands, there are places cars can't go. Which is a very good thing, in our book. Our long-distance trails along The Cambrian Way are better on horseback, bike or foot.
In Glyndŵr's footsteps
Glyndŵr's Way is a 135-mile (217km) National Trail that takes a highly indirect (but very scenic route) between Welshpool and Knighton. It's a generous meander through moorland, farmland, woodland and forests across the breadth of Mid Wales. You can walk the whole thing in nine days, or break it into shorter hops. The man himself, Owain Glyndŵr, is a national hero whose royal standard you'll still see flying from flagpoles. The last native Welshman to hold the title Prince of Wales, he led a major rebellion in the early 1400s before mysteriously vanishing.

Two wheels, off-road
Mountain biking is big in Wales. It goes with having lots of big mountains, we suppose. Mountain Bike Wales is an exhaustive guide, divided into Centres (our seven purpose-built facilities), Bases (areas that are rich in mapped routes) and Trails (suggested tours). Many of them slash across The Cambrian Way. And special kudos to the lads from Gloucestershire who devised their own off-road Trans Cambrian Way from Knighton to Aberdyfi, and were public-spirited enough to make a website about it. Thank you. You can come again.
Mountain biking through Mid Wales
Wales on View
Two wheels, on-road
Up for a challenge? Lôn Las Cymru runs for over 250 miles (400km) down the length of Wales from Holyhead to Chepstow or Cardiff. Most of it's on quiet lanes or cycle paths that take you over three mountain ranges and two National Parks. What's more, the Lôn Las connects with all the other Sustrans routes in its 1,200-mile (1,930km) Welsh network.
Rural rail
The Cambrian Way is neatly intersected by the National Rail network at the top, middle and bottom by major train lines. But there's something endearingly heroic about the Heart of Wales line, which chugs between Llanelli and Shrewsbury, cutting a mazy path through the farming heartlands. Flat landscapes are hard to come by here, so viaducts and tunnels lend a hand where necessary. Most rural branch lines were closed in the 1960s, but this one survived, somehow. It's worth cherishing.
Rural ride
In the uplands, Welsh ponies and cobs were always an essential part of everyday life. Some farmers still use ponies to go places where quad bikes can't. There are plenty of riding and trekking centres along The Cambrian Way, offering everything from half-day treks to the epic Trans Wales Trail, a week-long ride from the Black Mountains to the Irish Sea, across the whole width of Wales.

To better meet the needs of our community, we offer after-hours outpatient pediatric and adolescent care (infant through 17 years old) in a specialized care setting. Kids Care is staffed by our local pediatricians from Buttermilk Falls Pediatrics and Northeast Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, and by registered nurses who are experienced in the care of sick babies and children.
Kids Care is located in the Pediatrics Services Unit at Cayuga Medical Center, providing young patients with outpatient pediatric care outside of the Emergency Department and Urgent Care Centers. Whenever a patient is seen at Kids Care, we provide feedback about the visit as soon as possible to the child's primary care physician. Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition of care and good communication with the child's established health care provider.
With evening hours Monday through Friday and daytime weekend coverage on Saturday and Sunday, parents now have straightforward access to experienced pediatric care providers, complimenting the services of their own pediatrician or family medicine physician.
Monday – Friday 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Come to the first floor Visitor Entrance at Cayuga Medical Center and take the patient elevator to the third floor. Kids Care will be on your left. There you will be greeted by the receptionist for Kids Care and you will be registered for an appointment.

I don't know how I am going to do this thing - living without Poppy. She came into my life after my Burmese 'Goliath' died. He was 17. I needed someone else to look after, to play with, to be a child with again.
Poppy was 4. In the 8 and a half years that we shared, she performed a kind of spiritual open heart surgery on me without my knowledge. Poppy spoke to me with her eyes and read me so well. She laughed and smiled and a party started every time we had been apart, even if I had been out of her sight for just a few moments.
We played and played. Poppy would squeal with excitement when she saw the sea. Loved the beach.
My life with her was bliss. Now I am alone. Poppy was called Home on 26 January, 4 weeks ago. I feel raw pain.
One thing I know now is that my Poppy taught me about pure and unconditional Love and the true meaning of Life. Poppy was my child and I was hers!
I love your comments and feel the same way about my Lucky!


This is the final concert with John Belushi, recorded at the last of 7 performances at the Universal Amphitheatre Los Angeles, an end to a 22 concert tour of the USA. This is the only time the band performed 'Come on Up'.
IMPORTANT This is a bootleg album, it was recorded by a fan at the final Blues Brothers concert with John Belushi (August 1st, 1980). As a result the quality is extremely poor, and you can regularly hear other audience members talking and laughing. John Belushi was also losing his voice that night. This is not a poor copy of the Universal bootleg, this is THE Universal bootleg, so please don't request a higher quality recording of this event. No such thing exists.
it contains some explicit language!

Which Kettle Cooked Potato Chips Brand Does Salt Flavor the Best?
Apr 1, 2019 | Reviews | by Gerald Ortiz
Long-time readers of Keddels will know that we love chips (or, as our UK readers know them, crisps). Day One Keddelers also know that we're potato chip purists and cannot tolerate anything on our tongues other than a kettle cooked chip. From Kettle's' bold blend of sweet and smoky Barbecue to the sharp tang of Dirty Chips' Salt & Vinegar, and even the off-beat experimentations of Zapp's' Cajun Crawtators, we love it all. But, when it comes to the classic (plain, some might say) salt flavor, which kettle-cooked brand does it best?
Potatoes can be masked in all kinds of aromas and flavors, so a simple salt-flavored potato chip serves not just as the baseline, but the true test of a potato chip's value. We decided to sit down with some of the most popular brands to really get a taste of which potato comes out on top. For this taste test, we mainly looked at crunch and flavor. We also rated each factor on a scale from 1 to 5.
Crunch: 3.5/5
This is what you expect a kettle-cooked potato chip to feel like—a hearty crunch that will have you orally fixated.
Flavor: 3.5/5
Not super greasy, and a pretty middle-of-the-road taste. This is what most people are familiar with. The salt was pretty inconsistent, however. Some chips barely had any salt, allowing the safflower oil to become more prominent, while others hit you with a nice amount of salt.
Zapp's
More inconstancy here than in any of the previous brands. Some chips were actually the crunchiest and hardest chips out of any while others felt thin and stale.
Flavor: 3/5
Zapp's also uses peanut oil in their blend, but it's sometimes blended with canola, corn, or sunflower oil. The batch that I got tasted like the oil blend, which I honestly enjoyed more than just the straight peanut oil used in Dirty chips. Oddly, it reminded me a little of communion wafers. The saltiness was spot on, though.
Crunch: 3/5
I wish the crunch was more consistent throughout the bag. When one chip was thick and rigid, it was spot on. The next chip, however, fell into thin and stale territory.
Not the saltiest of the lot, but not the blandest either. Some of the chips tasted like they weren't prepared in the right temperature of water, though, leaving some chips with brown spots that weren't so appetizing. The use of peanut oil really comes through (probably because we're so used to vegetable oil in our chips). While it's an interesting and uncommon flavor profile, it might turn some people off (and have life-threatening consequences for others).
Lay's Kettle Cooked
Not the thickest or most jaw-tiring crunch, but it's going to keep most people satisfied.
If you liked the true Lay's Classic un-kettle cooked chips, you'll like the flavor of these. Imagine taking the original Lay's and making them crunchier and a bit less greasy. The oil they use is a blended vegetable oil (sunflower, corn, and/or canola).
A nice, stiff chip, these English potatoes have a fairly airy texture when you bite into them. That's not to say that you'll find sizeable air bubbles, but it's almost as though they're puffy. But again, a better crunch than most.
Nice, large slices of potato. The flavor is not overpowering, and there's no funny business—snowden potatoes with sunflower oil and sea salt. Tyrell's has a sophisticated balance of salt and oil where others tip the scales to their detriment. This was the best-tasting chip of the group.
Luke's Organic
Thick slices and the right amount of oil gave Luke's chips just the kind of crunch I hope for with kettle-cooked potato chips. I might have given them a higher score here if it weren't for a few chips that weren't pulling their weight in this crucial department. I've seen better consistency with other brands.
Luke's Organic really strives to push their crunchy (pun intended) leanings. Aside from hailing from Santa Cruz, the ingredients read as follows: "Luke's organic potatoes, Luke's organic sustainable oil blend (red palm fruit oil, and avocado oil), sea salt." Though the chips themselves had a really nice crunch, the unique blend of red palm fruit oil and avocado oil gave such a unique flavor that I wasn't sure I was eating a potato so much as tree bark. That being said, it did grow on me. But, there was a learning curve of sorts. Could have used a touch more salt, too. This was the worst-tasting chip of the group.
Above average crunch that's really satisfying.
Similar flavor to Tyrell's chips (they both use sunflower oil). But you can tell right off the bat that Deep River uses more oil and more salt.
Utz Kettle Classics
There was some good crunch happening with these Utz chips and the large slices of potatoes that I was getting in this batch only help. They were decently thick and the oil hadn't oversaturated them.
The peanut oil here didn't have such a strong peanut flavor like the Dirty chips had and I appreciated that.
Wise chips have a decent amount of crunch, but it felt like the crunch wasn't as brittle as I'd like. Because these chips were more greasy, I suspect that the sheer amount of oil prevented a truly satisfying cronch. I wasn't very happy with the size of these chips. Most chips were fairly small.
Though the potatoes were cooked decently, there was just bit too much oil and even more salt going on that made me feel like I wouldn't have been happy eating even their smallest available size. This one should come with napkins and a water bottle.

Gophers roll in first exhibition
Minnesota overpowers Minnesota-Duluth.
Marco LaNave
It was hard to see much weakness in MinnesotaâÄôs 114-47 win over Minnesota-Duluth at Williams Arena Thursday night. The young players looked comfortable, even spectacular, and the veterans made their usual big impact, as the Gophers shot 60 percent from the field, with six players scoring in double figures and nearly everyone having his spurt of success. âÄúWe were just on top of our game tonight,âÄù head coach Tubby Smith said. The Gophers forced Minnesota-Duluth into 21 first-half turnovers that led to 28 points and a 50-13 halftime lead for Minnesota. âÄú[Defense] usually leads to our offense,âÄù senior guard Lawrence Westbrook said. It helped Westbrook, who had a nearly 15-minute scoring drought, get going in the second half. Defensive pressure and quick transitions led to four layups for Westbrook in the first four minutes of the second half. He had 12 second-half points, all within the first five minutes, and finished with a game-high 19. Senior forward Damian Johnson looked comfortable from the beginning, as he had four steals and 10 points in the first 10 minutes of play. He finished with 16 points, a team-high 10 rebounds, seven steals, and three blocks. Smith said he was impressed by sophomores Ralph Sampson III (13 points, six rebounds, six blocks) and Colton Iverson (12 points, four rebounds, two steals). The two big men showed range and mobility at both ends of the court, and neither committed a turnover or foul in a combined 39 minutes. Those were all keys to the Gophers win, but the story would be incomplete without freshman forward Rodney Williams, who came off the bench to provide highlights after a slow start. Williams looked less-than-astonishing in his first layup attempt midway through the first half, as he was fouled and made 1-of-2 free throws. He committed a foul and a turnover before being taken out. When Williams returned five minutes before halftime, he looked like a different player. He made a steal and a layup almost immediately and later made his first 3-point shot that started the student section chanting his name. He followed that with another steal and made a pair of slick passes to set up easy baskets, but his best play came in the final minute of the half. He grabbed a ball among players from both teams and soared over all of them to make a two-handed dunk that capped the GophersâÄô 21-0 run and brought a great roar as Minnesota held a 37-point halftime lead. âÄúThe dunk Rodney had was probably âÄòSports CenterâÄôs No. 1 [play] for the whole year,âÄù said Johnson, who had four dunks in the game. âÄúYouâÄôve got to love the way he gets up there.âÄù Williams made 4-of-5 field goals and finished with 11 points. âÄúI like how [Williams] played with some poise; he really didnâÄôt force anything, and that spectacular dunk âÄî heâÄôs a real crowd-pleaser,âÄù Smith said. While none topped Williams, several other players had stretches of distinction. Sophomore guard Devoe Joseph scored 8 and 6 points in separate two-minute periods and finished with 18 points. After a couple of missed shots, junior guard Blake Hoffarber made a 3-point shot to start a personal 7-point run during a less than two minute span in the second half. Freshman point guard Justin Cobbs had 4 points and four assists in the second half. Even Dominique Dawson, the walk-on freshman forward who entered the game with 5:34 remaining, added 4 points, three rebounds and a steal. It all demonstrated what has been building as the Gophers prepare for their Nov. 13 opener. âÄúThatâÄôs why you play these exhibition games: [to] give guys a chance to show what they know,âÄù Smith said.


Looks like new daddy, Travis Scott, is in trouble. He has pleaded guilty to accusations of disorderly conduct and inciting a riot at his concert in Arkansas. His lawyer says he is ready to make restitution.

Technical Blog: Variable Scope

April 5, 2015

                Ruby has scopes that define variable accessibility. Ruby has global, class, instance, local and constant variables. Each variables has their own special naming conventions. For example:

                  $global variable - starts with $ sign with lower case letters
                  @@class variable - starts with double @ sign with lower case letters
                  @instance variable - starts with single @ sign with lower case letters
                  local variable - starts with lower case letters or _
                  CONSTANT variable - with ALL CAPS

                Global variables are accessible from anywhere in the program. It's used rarely and discouraged. Because it is accessible from anywhere in the program and you can alter its value anywhere in the program, thus it would affect other objects behave unexpectedly. For example:

                $hello = "Hello, world."

                Class variables are accessible within a class and its all instances. Similar to global variable but within its class. That said, the same goes for its value alteration. If the value is modified it will affect all other objects using this class variable. Class variables must be initialized at the creation. For example:

                @@hello = "Hello, world."

                Instance variables are widely used. It's accessible within its class it belongs to and is similar to class variables, but its values are local and specific to that instance. For example:

                @hello = "Hello, world."

                Local variables that are declared in a method or a loop and are accessible only within that method or a loop. You cannot access it outside of that loop or method. For example:

                hello = "Hello, world."

                Constants store values and once assigned a value, it should not be altered. Its values are alterable, but Ruby will throw a warning message. Similar to global variable and are accessible within the context of that class or module.

                HELLO = "Hello, world."

It is snowing here. We love snow here. In fact the famed Powder Highway of British Columbia is known for snow. Lots of it. Up to 50 feet in some places.
But it is more than that. Cool mountain towns dot this road, filled with passionate people you will enjoy spending time with. So combined with a variety of terrain this region in and around the Canadian Rockies beckons you to discover more moments that matter.
From breathtaking mountain scenery, to wild hot springs to mom and pop foodie dreams, you will have many nuggets to snap and share.
Pick one of the authentic mountain communities of Golden, Kimberley and Fernie and you will find all you need for a complete vacation. From B&B's to luxury lodges, hotels and private mountain cabins to meet every need. If you have not tried ski in and ski out you owe it to yourself. This is really true for families, staying slopeside will become your best friend, removing any need to load the car and making hot chocolate time….well anytime.
Lizard Creek Lodge, Fernie, BC, offers a pool with an incredible view. Not only is swimming marvelous here but the location 50 feet from the lift, makes this one of the easiest ski to your door experiences in the mountains.
Slope time is great but after skiing activities abound for all ages in these mountain towns. Bring your own or rent, as Fernie, Kimberley and Golden will have you sliding on some of the best trails around for cross country skiing and fat biking. If you like running, don't forget to pack the trail running shoes, as many trail options exist for a short jaunt or an epic winter workout. Each community has a great offering of additional winter activities from dog sledding, ice skating, nature watching and more.
Yep it happens here. As of November 24th, Kicking Horse has already had over 8 feet of snow to date. Fernie Alpine Resort, known for legendary powder, gets up to 40 feet each winter. With that much snow there is more than enough to go around. So what are you waiting for? It is snowing and mountain time matters….

2023 Davos overview
Today marks the beginning of the World Economic Forum's (WEF) 53rd Annual Meeting in Davos, where leading figures from public and private sectors worldwide gather to address global challenges and remedial actions needed. This year, the WEF comes with the theme of "Cooperation in a Fragmented World," reflecting the continuation of crises, including the pandemic, ongoing political conflicts, and the stagnant growth of global economies. All of these issues contribute to the fragile and fragmented global system, which calls for immediate international attention.
CURRENT ISSUES, CHANGING CONTEXT
The meeting seeks global cooperation in the belief that current global crises are the manifestation of larger systemic deficiencies accumulated over time. The five main pillars, namely energy and food crises, inflation and economic growth, industry headwinds, social vulnerabilities, and geopolitical risks, will be discussed as part of the agenda with a purpose-driven focus in order to motivate tangible actions. The meeting will concentrate on identifying solutions through the "new system transformation imperatives" by situating the aforementioned main pillars in the world's rapidly changing context. This will facilitate discussions and solutions that take the issues' entire system into account instead of examining them superficially.
THE HOLISTIC APPROACH
Systemic and interconnected problems—whether within organizations or in the larger society—cannot be resolved overnight or on a superficial level. Their solutions require taking a step back to comprehend the bigger picture of the issues, identifying areas that truly need tackling, and solving them systematically. For instance, an organization that wishes to shift its focus from Profit-centric to Profit, People, and Planet (the Triple Bottom Line) cannot do so by merely initiating projects that produce short-term results but are unaligned with its values and goals. Instead, it must identify the root cause and holistically address the mindset, operation, and communication dimensions.
From defensive to proactive, vision-driven strategies and policies, the 53rd WEF Annual Meeting will shed light on tangible actions for positive change for the entire ecosystem. Last year's CEO Strategic Dialogue was a GREAT opportunity where our CEO, Mr. Piyachart (Arm) Isarabhakdee, joined other leaders in discussing the business implications of the 2022 Annual Meeting. This year, as an active member of the Forum's community, BRANDi hopes to see how these dialogues will ultimately strengthen Cooperation in a Fragmented World.
