So I decided to hell with it, and made my blog public again. I like having a public blog, and I figure there's a report button for a reason, right?
This marks six weeks post op. I look like this these days, as you can see up there. Well, I usually don't have a random 3 year old with me, but she's there sometimes. And I chose this picture because you can tell I'm sitting straighter. I did have to get new crutches, because the old ones were way too heavy after surgery and I could barely walk with them.
My insurance still has me listed as a patient at the rehab place, when clearly I'm not, so I'm starting to raise hell. I still live in horrible back pain, and I think my scar might be slightly inflamed but I can't tell. I find out at my post op on Thursday. And will hopefully find out who whoever medicated me and landed me in the ER on oxygen.
I'm doing two summer classes. I'm finally learning algebra. I'm a little behind, but I took today off because I needed a day off. I'm also doing health, which is proving to be interesting. My life is currently juggling health and school and therapy, which is exciting.
My next update will be a real update for the real purpose of this blog – exploring my faith during a broken time. But I thought a six week post op update would be a good thing so there we have it.

Black And White War Photography Black And White War Photography
The war in Vietnam has been described as the war America watched from their living rooms. Images of combat and American GIs were projected through our TV screens and across our newspapers daily.During the war in Vietnam, the American military gave the press unprecedented freedom of access to combat zones.
This allowed newspaper reporters and photographers and television crews to document a war involving American sons and daughters on the other side of the world. This willingness to allow documentation of the war was also extended to the military's own photographers.
Between 1962 and 1975, military photographers took millions of photographs of the American conflict in Vietnam. These photographs serve publishers, historians, and students who want to learn more about Vietnam.
They include images of almost every aspect of the war. Hovering U.S. Army helicopters pour machine gun fire into a tree line to cover the advance of South Vietnamese ground troops in an attack on a Viet Cong camp 18 miles north of Tay Ninh, near the Cambodian border, in March of 1965.

(Horst Faas/AP) Napalm air strikes raise clouds into gray monsoon skies as houseboats glide down the Perfume River toward Hue in Vietnam on February 28, 1963, where a battle for control of the old Imperial City ended with a Communist defeat.
Firebombs were directed against a village on the outskirts of Hue. (AP) Thich Quang Duc, a Buddhist monk, burns himself to death on a Saigon street on June 11, 1963, to protest alleged persecution of Buddhists by the South Vietnamese government.
President Ngo Dình Diem, part of the Catholic minority, had adopted policies that discriminated against Buddhists and gave high favor to Catholics. (Malcolm Browne/AP) Flying low over the jungle, an A-1 Skyraider drops 500-pound bombs on a Viet Cong position below as smoke rises from a previous pass at the target, on December 26, 1964.
(Horst Faas/AP) Partially covered, a dying Viet Cong guerrilla raises his hands as South Vietnamese Marines search palm groves near Long Binh in the Mekong Delta, on February 27, 1964. The guerrilla died in a foxhole following a battle between a battalion of South Vietnamese Marines and a unit of Viet Cong.
(Horst Faas/AP) As U.S. "Eagle Flight" helicopters hover overhead, South Vietnamese troops wade through a rice paddy in Long An province during operations against Viet Cong guerrillas in the Mekong Delta, in December of 1964.
The "Eagle Flight" choppers were loaded with Vietnamese airborne troops who were dropped in to support ground forces at the first sign of enemy contact. (Horst Faas/AP) A father holds the body of his child as South Vietnamese Army Rangers look down from their armored vehicle on March 19, 1964.
The child was killed as government forces pursued guerrillas into a village near the Cambodian border. (Horst Faas/AP) Marines wade ashore with heavy equipment at first light at Red Beach near Da Nang in Saigon on April 10, 1965.
(AP) With the persuasion of a Viet Cong-made spear pressed against his throat, a captured Viet Cong guerrilla decided to talk to interrogators, telling them of a cache of Chinese grenades on March 28, 1965.

(Eddie Adams/AP) Thousands attend a rally on the grounds of the Washington Monument in Washington on April 17, 1965, to hear Ernest Gruening, a Democratic senator from Alaska, and other speakers discuss U.

S. 1st Cavalry Division in the Ia Drang Valley, Vietnam, on November 18, 1965, during a fierce battle that had been raging for days. Units of the division were battling to hold their lines against what was estimated to be a regiment of North Vietnamese soldiers.
Bodies of the slain soldiers were carried to this clearing with their gear to await evacuation by helicopter. (Rick Merron/AP) Pedestrians cross the destroyed Hue Bridge in Hue, Vietnam.

(Horst Faas/AP) A Vietnamese girl, 23 years old, was captured by an Australian patrol 30 feet below ground at the end of a maze of tunnels some 10 miles west of the headquarters of the Australian task force (40 miles southeast of Saigon).
The woman was crouched over a World War II radio set. About seven male Viet Cong took off when the Australians appeared—but the woman remained and appeared to be trying to conceal the radio set. She was taken back to the Australian headquarters where she told under sharp interrogation (which included a "waterprobe"; see her wet clothes after the interrogation) that she worked as a Viet Cong nurse in the village of Hoa Long and had been in the tunnel for 10 days.
The Australians did not believe her because she seemed to lack any medical knowledge. They thought that she may have possibly been the leader of the political cell in Long Hoa. She was being led away after interrogation, clothes soaked from the "waterprobe" on October 29, 1966.
(AP) Women and children crouch in a muddy canal as they take cover from intense Viet Cong fire at Bao Trai, about 20 miles west of Saigon, on January 1, 1966.

(Richard Merron, Henri Huet/AP) A Vietnamese child clings to his bound father who was rounded up as a suspected Viet Cong guerrilla during "Operation Eagle Claw" in the Bong Son area, 280 miles northeast of Saigon on February 17, 1966.
The father was taken to an interrogation camp with other suspects rounded up by the U.S. 1st air cavalry division. (Richard Merron, Henri Huet/AP) A U.S. Marine CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter comes down in flames after being hit by enemy ground fire during Operation Hastings, just south of the demilitarized zone between North and South Vietnam, on July 15, 1966.
The helicopter crashed and exploded on a hill, killing one crewman and 12 Marines. Three crewmen escaped with serious burns. (Horst Faas/AP) A trooper of the U.S. 1st cavalry division aims a flamethrower at the mouth of cave in An Lao Valley in South Vietnam, on April 14, 1967, after the Viet Cong group hiding in it were warned to emerge.
(AP) Sergeant Ronald Payne, 21, of Atlanta, Georgia, emerges from a Viet Cong tunnel holding his silencer-equipped revolver with which he fired at guerrillas fleeing ahead of him underground. Payne and others of the 196th light infantry brigade probed the massive tunnel in Hobo Woods, South Vietnam, on January 21, 1967, and found detailed maps and plans of the enemy.
The infantrymen who explored the complex are known as "Tunnel Rats." They were called out of the tunnels on January 21, and nauseating gas was pumped in.

(Robert Ohman/AP) Marines prepare their 105-mm Howitzers for action at the end of a day in which this dense jungle area west of Hue was chopped down and molded into a fire-support base for a sweep of the area on February 18, 1969.

Following on from last weeks' post, this week's post is again extracted (with thanks) from the Chairman's Red Book.
4. give the director access to the board papers and other documents of the company.
Access to board papers and company documents is essential for a director to discharge their obligations.
Most companies and directors put in place such agreements on a uniform basis for each director.
Where deeds are required for other executives (non directors) they may require some modification. For example, these officers will typically not be entitled to access the board papers.


Rachael Fitch, creative content and design coordinator for Downtown Lee's Summit, says the event has been around for over a decade, but grew continually throughout the season last year. The group accepts performing and visual artists, as well as artisans.
Each month has a theme. The April theme is "Art for All Ages" which will include extra activities centered toward families and children, as well as artists who have been working for a lot of years and can display their experience.
Assistant City Manager Mark Dunning says the event helps improve quality of life for the city.
"I think the downtown venue is a great space with all the activity that takes place throughout the day. It helps promote cultural arts within the city, which we are trying to grow an awareness of. It draws people out," Dunning said.
At the end of the 2018 season, there were 23 businesses participating in the art walks.
Businesses interested in becoming a venue must be located in Downtown Lee's Summit. The business needs to have space to hang or display artwork, or the space to host a musician, other performer or author the night of the event. They must also agree to be open from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on that evening.
Artists need not be professionals, but must have a body of work that includes approximately eight to 12 display pieces for a visual art. The art may be offered for sale if the artist desires, though that is not a requirement. Performing artists or demonstrators must be able to provide a description of their performance.
To apply for either becoming a venue or a featured artist, visit downtownls.org/fourthfridays to fill out an online application. Downtown Lee's Summit Main Street will work to partner artists and businesses. The two are expected to work closely together on set-up and tear-down the night of the event.
While it is recommended artists and businesses sign up for an event 30 days in advance, the call for artists is a rolling call – which means, if artists or businesses cannot participate until a later month, they can still apply now.

Details of The Rat Pack Christmas and the Ticket Luck value
Released in October 2002, The Rat Pack Christmas is an amazing holiday compilation by Sammy Davis, Jr. Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Initially, the album was released with an Ocean's Eleven cover but later got changed to a green and red colored theme with a big hat. Sung by brilliant artists, the old and beautiful Christmas tunes will take you back in time. The best part of the concert evening is undoubtedly the costume design. If you have been to this concert before, you would have come across Dean's oversized jacket, Frank's patent shoes and Sammy's ruffled shirt.
The Rat Pack Christmas album is a brilliant compilation of the familiar and a few new Christmas songs that has made its way into the hearts of millions. Written by Irving Berlin in 1937, I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm is a great Christmas song that was first introduced on the American musical film, On the Avenue in 1937. Arranged by Skip Martin, the instrumental version of the song sold out in millions and also landed in the list of Billboard top ten songs in 1949.
The highlight of the evening is Sammy Davis's Jingle Bells and Dean Martin's Peace on Earth/Silent Night. Composed by Franz Xaver Gruber in 1818, Silent Night is a famous Christmas carol that has been recorded by several musicians in the music arena. Also, the song has been translated into a hundred and forty different languages. However, today, the melody is sung in a slightly different way from Gruber's original version. You will also be treated to Frank Sinatra's evergreen carols such as The First Noel, Christmas Waltz, Hark! The Herald Angels and, I'll Be Home for Christmas. The songs have a real classic touch that everybody is perhaps looking for in holiday music. Sammy's Christmas All Over the World is also a delightful carol that will hold you tight in its embrace. If you like listening to the old Christmas classics, this is the event for you.
Collectively, Frank, Dean and Sammy have a perfect charisma and chemistry to deliver a spectacular performance to the audience. If you have been to this concert before, you would know that the trio enjoys performing on stage. Especially, Frank and Dean have great fun singing a song from The Dean Martin Christmas Show titled A Marshmallow World. The carol has got an amazing harmony and it appeals to senses like no other song on the planet.
These Christmas songs have stood the test of time, hence other songs can hardly top them. People who have watched the original version of The Rat Pack Christmas show might find it difficult to accept the new version of the show. The contemporary set list contains singles such as Mack the Knife, New York, New York and Volare as well as a couple of Christmas songs to justify the title. However, if you want to lighten up your mood and lift your spirits, this is the event for you. People who have attended the concert before remember it like yesterday and look forward to this highly anticipated event again. The lighting, sound and the tunes are just spot on to provide a larger-than-life experience to the holiday music lovers, so pick your share of The Rat Pack Christmas tickets today.
No holiday season is complete without Dino, Frank and Sammy singing the Christmas carols. The music speaks for the celebration and joy of the holiday season and also work for present-wrapping, parties, tree-trimming and all the good things that come along with Christmas. You might have grown up listening to these old classic melodies on CDs but hearing them out live will definitely provide you one-of-a-kind experience, so do not delay your booking of The Rat Pack Christmas tickets.

My happy place is by the sea. I love the ocean.
That's my other happy place!
It looks like a beautiful place. What a wonderful experience with your family! And, I think I'd be pretty happy there, as well!
I am so happy for you and Steve and the girls….My happy place is also being in nature with people that I love……family and good friends. One time – probably the only time I ever said this – we were on a mountaintop in Colorado – it was their spring….and the mountains – some still snow peaked….with all of the mountainside covered with spring flowers and white billowy clouds floating so close you could touch them (along with the face of God) – I asked Tom to go back to Indianapolis and sell our home and I would probably still be sitting on the mountaintop when he got back to Colorado…..well, that never happened, but the memories are still so pure in my mind! Ahhhhh…..
Sounds like you and the family had a wonderful time. I also love being in nature and get rejuvenated by it. There are so many beautiful places here in the West. We enjoy our small town life in Az.
You live in a beautiful state so I'm sure you have numerous places to rejuvenate. 🙂 We need to get out there sometime, the girls have never been to AZ.
Nice! That's my Among the Sunflowers idea. Find the good moments, enjoy, be okay with what you have and still be adventurous and try new things! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, all of those things. A great mantra Gail!
Our "Happy Place" is now anywhere with family!
So happy you enjoyed my home state, MT! I enjoyed your photos very much!

TSB to close eight Scottish branches
The bank, spun out of Lloyds Banking Group in 2014, said it is investing in upgrading some branches and improving digital services
Scott McCulloch
The TSB Bank is to close 25 UK branches, including eight in Scotland, as it looks to "meet evolving customer demand".
TSB, which was spun out of Lloyds Banking Group in 2014 as a condition of its £25.5 billion taxpayer-funded bailout, was sold to Spanish banking group Banco de Sabadell a year later in a £1.7 billion deal.
Sabadell, which acquired Lloyds Spanish business in 2013, pledged to retain the TSB brand with a view to creating a "robust competitor" in UK banking.
TSB said it is currently undergoing a £250 million investment programme to "ensure its branch and digital offerings meet evolving customer demand", which will see it refit around 100 branches and fully refurbish 10 others.
Scottish branches earmarked for closure include three in Aberdeen, two in Edinburgh and branches in Dundee, Denny and Newton Mearns.
The bank said the closures will not lead to compulsory redundancies, and staff will be redeployed.
It plans to create new flagship branches in Aberdeen and Birmingham which it expects to open by the end of the year.
TSB said: "There are 13 towns and cities where TSB has multiple branches in close proximity and customers are showing a clear preference for one branch above another.
"As a result the bank will close 25 of the less well used outlets by the end of April 2017 and invest in the busier ones.
"This investment is part of TSB's ongoing commitment to providing a strong branch network."

I love that you transitioned from a heated debate about the term 'toxic masculinity' to arguing about whether snow is bad or good in a second.
I am afraid you were wrong about two things in this episode.
The first is that the Met Office weather app absolutely does show you the percentage chance of precipitation. I suggest that John abandons the execrable BBC Weather app with all its false certainty.
The second is that the latest season of The Good Place has been all over the shop, quality-wise and is decidedly poorer than the more focused plots of the first two seasons. The last episode wasn't bad, but if another character loses their memory again I shall despair.
Otherwise this episode was very entertaining, and I am enjoying the semi-regularity of this latest flurry of episodes while I can!
In what way does the left say nothing about Turkey? The left has a big presence over there and the Turkish state is always imprisoning and shutting down left wing opposition. In fact the Turkish state is a good comparison to the Israeli state. Turkey is racist towards the kurds, Israeli state likes to stomp on Palestinians. Both states want to be ethno-nationalist and a result of that is the attacks against people who already live there but do not belong to the correct ethnicity.
Generally much better than the bbc.

Augusta, Ga.— When people, especially golfers, find out I've spent nearly a half-year of my life in Augusta covering the Masters Tournament, they invariably tell me how lucky I am (don't I know it) and then ask, "What's it like there?"
What's it like? That's a hard question to answer in a few words.
As I look back on the 23 Masters I've covered and get ready for No. 24, it's the small, quiet moments that stand out.
Yes, I've been fortunate to witness Tiger Woods' victories and Arnold and Jack walking up the steep hill on No. 18 for the final time and Ben Crenshaw, bent over and sobbing on the 18th green after he'd just won in '95.
But my favorite memories, the stories I tell when people ask what it's like, aren't necessarily the big, historic moments. They're more intimate; little, personal vignettes that didn't wind up in headlines but made a lasting impression on me....
Just the two of us: I had filed my last story for the paper on a warm Tuesday evening in 1995, and the setting sun was filtering through the pines and bathing Augusta National in a brilliant golden hue.
I decided to take a stroll and walked up the hill from the media center to admire the view from behind the clubhouse. The course was closed to spectators and deserted and its dazzling beauty was almost otherworldly.
After some time I felt a presence beside me and turned to see Woods, then 19, alone and dressed in a suit and tie. He had stepped out of the annual dinner the club puts on for amateur contestants.
I nodded at him and he nodded back. No words were exchanged. Not a breath of air stirred. We stood there for several minutes, neither of us wanting to break the spell.
I've often wondered what Woods was thinking as he gazed out onto the course he would conquer two years later and three times after that. My best guess is that it was along the lines of, "Someday, I'm going to own this place."
A brush with greatness: Jack Nicklaus was 12 years removed from his sixth and final Masters victory when he pulled to within a few strokes of the lead early in the final round in 1998.
I hurried out to the par-4 third hole to catch him and wormed my way through the gallery until I was just inside the rope, some 20 feet from the edge of the green.
A few seconds later, a ball plopped down 10 feet from where I stood; Nicklaus' approach had missed the green just short and right. He arrived at his ball, surveyed the shot, pulled a club and proceeded to chip in for a birdie.
He turned toward the whooping gallery — I'll take it to my grave that he stared right at me — and then he held out his hands, cocked his head and shrugged his shoulders as if to say, "I can't help it. I'm Jack Nicklaus."
I still get chill bumps thinking about it. Nicklaus didn't win, but at 58 he did tie for sixth, two strokes ahead of Woods, the defending champion.
The sound of a double-eagle: In 2012, I was interviewing Steve Stricker under the massive old oak behind the clubhouse after his final-round 75. He was answering a question when, in mid-sentence, an enormous roar went up from somewhere down the hill behind us.
Five seconds went by...10...15. The noise kept growing and growing until the ground was humming beneath my feet.
Stricker knew exactly what it meant.
"That's a double-eagle on 2," he said.
He was right. Three hundred yards down the hill, Louis Oosthuizen's second shot, a 4-iron from 253 yards, had found the cup on the par-5 second hole. It was only the fourth double-eagle in Masters history.
I didn't see it. But I heard it.
Pulling no punches: Colin Montgomerie plopped down in a chair in the interview room after playing alongside Woods in the third round in 1997.
"There is no chance humanly possible that Tiger Woods is going to lose this tournament," Montgomerie declared. He'd just witnessed Woods, in total control of his game and toying with the course, build a nine-shot lead with a bogey-free 65.
Reminded that one year earlier Greg Norman had blown a seemingly insurmountable lead and lost to Nick Faldo, Montgomerie shot back, "This is very different. Nick Faldo is not lying second, for starters. And Greg Norman is not Tiger Woods."
The next day, Tiger's coronation produced one of the most supercharged atmospheres I've ever witnessed at a sporting event. Everyone lucky enough to be there that day knew history was being written.
Aura of goodness: A couple years ago, I saw the late Billy Casper sitting at a table behind the clubhouse, chatting with friends. I had just read his biography, "The Big Three and Me" and wanted to tell him how much I'd enjoyed it.
As I approached his table, he started to struggle to his feet, ignoring my plea to remain seated. When I complimented him on his book, the 1970 Masters champion took my hand in both of his and thanked me profusely; tears welled up in his eyes.
He didn't know me from Adam so I'm not sure why he was so touched. But I could sense — and I know this sounds weird — an aura of goodness. I'd heard he was a kind, decent and humble man and after meeting him I knew it to be true. My brief encounter with Casper remains one of my most cherished Augusta memories.
The disappearing root: One year, I was standing in the trees on the right side of the first fairway, watching players hit their approaches into the green. Just behind me, one spectator and then another tripped on a tree root that was sticking out of the ground a half-inch or so.
Two marshals quickly grabbed a trash receptacle and placed it over the offending root so that no one else would stub a toe or, worse, take a spill.
The next day I went back to the same spot and the trash receptacle was gone. So, too, was the exposed root. It had vanished without a trace.
That's what it's like at Augusta National.

For all of these sports injuries, it is important to know your body's limits and when to see a physician for treatment. Strains are one of the most common injuries that can happen from suddenly overstretching a muscle. Taking the necessary steps to prevent strains or pulls is an easy routine. Make sure you warm-up first to increase blood flow to your muscles. It is also important to stretch before and after you play a sport, in order to loosen your muscles and prevent tears. Also be aware of muscle fatigue when you are being active. It is very important to rest periodically while sprinting or jumping.
At AFC Urgent Care Aston, we offer convenient walk-in appointments to fit your busy schedule in Delco. Our urgent care services are flexible and varied, and our physicians are experienced in treating sports injuries. We look forward to helping you soon with all your medical needs!

1At that time Judah left his brothers and settled near an Adullamite#Jos 15:35; 1Sm 22:1 named Hirah. 2There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite named Shua; he took her as a wife and slept with her. 3She conceived and gave birth to a son, and he named him Er.#Gn 46:12; Nm 26:19 4She conceived again, gave birth to a son, and named him Onan. 5She gave birth to another son and named him Shelah. It was at Chezib that#38:5 LXX reads She was at Chezib when#38:5 Or He was at Chezib when she gave birth to him.
6Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. 7Now Er, Judah's firstborn, was evil in the Lord's sight, and the Lord put him to death.#1Ch 2:3 8Then Judah said to Onan, "Sleep with your brother's wife. Perform your duty as her brother-in-law#Dt 25:5–10 and produce offspring for your brother."#Mt 22:24 9But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his, so whenever he slept with his brother's wife, he released his semen on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother. 10What he did was evil in the Lord's sight, so he put him to death also.
11Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, "Remain a widow in your father's house until my son Shelah grows up."#Ru 1:12–13 For he thought, "He might die too, like his brothers." So Tamar went to live in her father's house.
12After a long time#38:12 Lit And there were many days, and Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. When Judah had finished mourning, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite went up to Timnah#Jos 15:10,57 to his sheepshearers. 13Tamar was told, "Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep." 14So she took off her widow's clothes, veiled her face,#Gn 24:65 covered herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that, though Shelah had grown up, she had not been given to him as a wife. 15When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face.
16He went over to her and said, "Come, let me sleep with you," for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law.#Lv 18:15
She said, "What will you give me for sleeping with me?"
17"I will send you a young goat from my flock," he replied.
But she said, "Only if you leave something with me until you send it."
18"What should I give you?" he asked.
She answered, "Your signet ring, your cord, and the staff in your hand." So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him. 19She got up and left, then removed her veil and put her widow's clothes back on.
20When Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite in order to get back the items he had left with the woman, he could not find her. 21He asked the men of the place, "Where is the cult prostitute who was beside the road at Enaim?"
"There has been no cult prostitute here," they answered.
22So the Adullamite returned to Judah, saying, "I couldn't find her, and besides, the men of the place said, 'There has been no cult prostitute here.'"
23Judah replied, "Let her keep the items for herself; otherwise we will become a laughingstock. After all, I did send this young goat, but you couldn't find her."
24About three months later Judah was told, "Your daughter-in-law, Tamar, has been acting like a prostitute, and now she is pregnant."
"Bring her out," Judah said, "and let her be burned to death!" #Lv 20:14
25As she was being brought out, she sent her father-in-law this message: "I am pregnant by the man to whom these items belong." And she added, "Examine them. Whose signet ring, cord, and staff are these?"
26Judah recognized them and said, "She is more in the right#38:26 Or more righteous than I,#1Sm 24:17 since I did not give her to my son Shelah." And he did not know her intimately again.
27When the time came for her to give birth, there were twins in her womb. 28As she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand, and the midwife took it and tied a scarlet thread around it, announcing, "This one came out first." 29But then he pulled his hand back, out came his brother, and she said, "What a breakout you have made for yourself!" So he was named Perez.#38:29 = Breaking Out#Gn 46:12; Nm 26:20; 1Ch 2:4; Mt 1:3 30Then his brother, who had the scarlet thread tied to his hand, came out, and was named Zerah.#38:30 = Brightness of Sunrise; perhaps related to the scarlet thread

Benny Sings Helps Tuxedo Share A 'Toast 2' Their Upcoming Album
B. Cakes
With the gaggle of new projects scheduled to drop over the next few months, we already knew this was going to be a soulful summer. But now our boys Mayer Hawthorne and Jake One have confirmed that the upcoming season will be good and funky as well. Joining forces as Tuxedo, the creative partners are planning to drop their junior album, appropriately titled Tuxedo III, on July 19th.
In hindsight, we should've known they were up to something big when they dropped their celebratory funk anthem "The Tuxedo Way" and announced a 21-city tour. On the other hand, we love a good surprise, so this is a win any way you look at it — especially since the announcement comes with the release of another new single called "Toast 2 Us."
Ironically, the new song has been 13 years in the making. As Jake recently explained to Billboard, "It was a beat I had I thought was dope. I made it as a rap track, but I didn't know who the hell was going to rap on it back then, which is part of why it just sat. When we started putting together tracks for this album I ran across it and sent it to (Hawthorne) and he went crazy." Upon first listen, we totally understand and share their excitement.
A groovy tune that's equal parts chillwave and slow jam, "Toast 2 Us" features the yacht soul stylings of Dutch musician Benny Sings. Over a smoothed out soundbed built upon synth and 808s, the trio has us body-rolling and ready to put some bubbly on ice as they sing about romance and relationships. Hawthorne was quite pleased with the end result, gushing, "He just smashed it...The thing he sent us back, I was like, 'Omigod, this couldn't be any better!'" We have to agree. Benny blends in so perfectly with their sound that we're thinking they might want to make him an unofficial third member of the group.
Take a listen to "Toast 2 Us" below, grab your tickets for the Tuxedo tour and get ready to #FuxWithTheTux once again when Tuxedo III drops next month.

Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis visited the NFL Network studios Monday to talk about the United Athletes Foundation and Shad Ireland, the first kidney dialysis patient to complete the Ironman triathlon.
When you think about Lewis, it's hard not to think about his place not only as one of the greatest linebackers in NFL history but also as one of the greatest University of Miami players.
So I took some time to ask him about the greatest Hurricanes ever.
"It's impossible to really say who the greatest is without talking about all of the different eras," Lewis said. "And even then, I can't do it."
So we compromised, I shot him my list of greatest Hurricanes ever, and he gave me his first reaction. My list would have included Lewis as No. 1, but in deference to him, I have omitted him and Ravens teammate Ed Reed -- you know, not to cause any friction.
Bonus - Ted Hendricks: Said Lewis, "His wisdom was everything. He just knew how to play the game."
James, who led the NFL in rushing his first two years in the league, is the Colts' all-time leading rusher and a member of the all-decade team for the 2000s. Said Lewis: "I never saw somebody run the ball with such an ability to shift and change direction. So I called him 'Easy.'"
Kelly led the Bills to four AFC championships and is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He's the best of a strong group of Miami quarterbacks that included Bernie Kosar and Vinny Testaverde. Said Lewis: "He was resilient."
Sapp won the Lombardi and Outland trophies at Miami, and in the NFL, he was a seven-time Pro Bowl player and a member of the Buccaneers' lone Super Bowl championship team. Said Lewis: "The first time I saw him, I said that I have never seen anything like that."
Brown was a dominant defensive tackle, but he might be most well-known for staging a walkout with his Hurricanes teammates during a dinner with Penn State players before the 1987 Fiesta Bowl. Said Lewis: "He was the forefather before Sapp. He set the path in motion for Miami football. He was the trend-setter."
Irvin might be the poster boy for the flamboyant Miami player. He was a member of the Hurricanes' 1987 championship team and won three Super Bowls with the Cowboys. Lewis summed up Irvin in just one word: "Passion."
Said Lewis: "He broke all of the rules. It was amazing how good he was. He shouldn't have been able to do the things that he did. He had the size, speed and range. He was the complete package. We lost him way too early."

ATP Bastad Day 4 Predictions Including Roberto Carballes Baena vs Fabio Fognini
By: David Gertler | July 14, 2021
Day 4 of the ATP Nordea Open in Bastad is here! It's been an incredible week of clay-court tennis under the Swedish sun and things are heating us as we look to complete Friday's quarterfinal lineup with these round of 16 matches. Who will win and who will fall short? I give my best guesses below!
ATP Bastad Day 4 Predictions
Norbert Gombos vs Emil Ruusuvuori
Head to Head: 2-0 Gombos
Norbert Gombos surprised Pablo Cuevas, taking out Cuevas from a set-and-a-break down. Gombos' first serve was strong, winning 77% of his first-serve points, and he attacked the second serve of Cuevas well, with the man from Uruguay only winning 33% of his second-serve points. Emil Ruusuvuori did well to comeback from a set deficit and beat home-favorite Mikael Ymer in three sets. Ruusuvuori really did a great job dictating play from the baseline as the match went on and won 75% of his first-serve points in the second and third sets of that match, only getting broken once.
Gombos leads the head to head 2-0, including a three-set win on the clay of Parma earlier this season. This will be a match where first-strike tennis is paramount and will come down to who can control the baseline, while keeping their groundstrokes under control. Compared to their earlier meeting this season in Parma, I think that Ruusuvuori is finally finding his game again. He was wild from the baseline for a large portion of this season, but seems to be reining things in a bit. In addition, Gombos plays hit-and-miss tennis and his level has dropped from the time of their earlier meeting. Expect Ruusuvuori to edge this match out due to just having a little better rally tolerance than Gombos.
Prediction: Ruusuvuori in 3
Holger Rune vs Casper Ruud
Head to Head: 1-0 Ruud
Holger Rune has played a lot of clay-court tennis this year and has advanced his game so that he is dangerous from both wings now. Rune's first-serve percentage against Albot went up from 53% in the first set, to 67% in the second set, to 80% in the third set, giving Albot fewer opportunities to attack second serves. Casper Ruud will be playing his first match on clay since the French Open, a surface that has treated the Norwegian well. Ruud has won both of his ATP Tour titles on clay, including at the Geneva Open earlier this season. Holger Rune did well to come back from a set-and-a-break down to beat Radu Albot in the first round of Bastad.
Ruud leads the head to head 1-0, having only lost 3 games to Rune earlier this season on the clay of Monte Carlo. While Rune has improved from the time of that match, I do wonder if he has the game to beat Ruud at this stage in his career. While Rune is aggressive from both wings, he doesn't have the power that Ruud's forehand can bring to the table, and Rune will be forced to defend a lot more than he is used to. I think that Ruud wins the battle-for-the-baseline in this match and Rune won't quite have the counterpunching capabilities to stay with Ruud. Expect it to be a bit closer than Monte Carlo, but still not good enough for the Dane to win.
Prediction: Ruud in 2
Henri Laaksonen vs Elias Ymer
Head to Head: never played
Henri Laaksonen was striking the ball so smoothly in his first-round upset of Lorenzo Musetti. Laaksonen did especially well on the return, winning 46% of his return points. Elias Ymer did well to come back from *0-3 down in the third set to beat Taro Daniel in his first singles match of the Bastad tournament. Ymer is very solid from the baseline and ramps up the aggression when he has the chance to. Against Daniel, Ymer impressively won 75% of his first-serve points and 66% of his second-serve points.
These two have never played before, which is surprising given they both like to play clay-court Challengers. Ymer and Laaksonen will both be stable from the baseline, but Laaksonen ramps up the aggression a bit more, while Ymer is steadier. I still think fatigue will eventually catch up to Laaksonen, who played the semifinals and final of a Challenger all on Saturday last week, then started playing Bastad qualifying on Sunday and has went three sets in all three of his matches in Sweden. Eventually all of those matches catches up to players, and I expect him to start to look a bit weary, which Ymer will take advantage of. Ymer will also have home-court advantage in Sweden. Ymer wins this one, barely.
Prediction: Ymer in 3
Roberto Carballes Baena vs Fabio Fognini
Roberto Carballes Baena had a great start to the tournament, taking down an in-form Facundo Bagnis in straight sets. Carballes Baena put a ton of pressure on the Bagnis serve, winning 48% of his return points and breaking Bagnis five times. Fabio Fognini hasn't played on clay since Roland Garros. Fognini is so mercurial, who knows if he will play up to his potential or tank this match.
These two have played before. Carballes Baena is the stereotypical "dirt baller." He is extremely consistent from both wings and forces his opponents to earn everything against him. Fabio Fognini is an incredible clay-court player when he puts his mind to it, with the easy power, movement, finesse, and precision of his groundstrokes truly outstanding. However, he frequently has mental walkabouts during matches and doesn't always care about the matches he participates in. With that said, he should still have too much game for Carballes Baena. The Spaniard doesn't have anything in his arsenal to hurt Fognini with beyond his consistency, which should allow Fognini to dictate from the baseline and play his style of tennis. While Fognini might go away for a set, expect the Italian to prevail in the end.
Prediction: Fognini in 3

Inspired by the two full (blue) moons in both January and March of 2018, the surface of this human-sized origami rocket is awash with the streaks and lines of moontrails. Constructed from large strips of exposed cyanotype paper, taped together then folded, the piece measures nearly 2m in length.
Produced spefically to be installed in the ice-house during the 2018 seasonal exhibition at Burghley Scultpure Garden, the piece transformed the small subterranean structure into a psuedo missile silo, rocket poised and ready to launch.
The title derives from an experimental British missile from the 1950's with the identical codename.

The feature presentation will be Universal Pictures' Big Miracle, starring Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski.
Cardiff, a city just north of San Diego, is hosting an event guaranteed to be fun. There will be multiple surf contests, a green expo, tarp surfing (see picture below), musical entertainment, and a demo of various DIY surf toys (handplanes, paipos, etc.).
Morgan Maassen is possibly the world's most talented surf photographer. All you have to do is look at these shots and you will be impressed. He is also a past winner of the Follow the Light Foundation.
Combining elements of Jazz, Surf, Rock and Roll, Latin and Second Line rhythms, The Red Fox Tails have come up with a sound they might call "Surf Jazz"…shaped by world music flavors such as, Peruvian Chicha, 60′s/70′s Ethiopian pop music, as well as early New Orleans Funk and R&B with a heaping dose of Jim Jarmusch/David Lynch-like motion picture music.
The Red Fox Tails: Felipe Benavides' savory guitar tones, Jay Reilly's angular thumping acoustic bass, and drummer Ron Bocian's rhythmic dexterity.
They have two albums out, Drop In (2011) and Aloha (2012).
The Thompson brothers hydroplane their way from Jacksonville, Florida to the Outer Banks to score an all day tube fest. Enjoy!
