I totally love shopping, be it the traditional way or online. But nowadays I tend to shop more online because it is easier, faster, and more convenient. I do not have to wake up early in the morning to avoid traffic or the long queues in the counter. There are also more items to choose from online. Plus, most items you see in online stores you do not see in malls. So the probability of seeing someone who has the same clothes as yours is very minimal. All you have to do after ordering is seat back and wait for your purchases to be delivered right at your doorstep.
I often look for shops where you can buy everything you need there. I browsed Blackleaf.com and saw so many things I would like to purchase. They have been in business for many years catering mostly to customers who are into action sports. They sell high quality products for men, women, and kids at affordable prices. Among the items they have are apparel (tops, shirts, jeans, pants, jackets etc.), accessories (watches, gloves, belts, socks etc.), footwear (boots, shoes, slippers, sandals etc.), equipment (ski helmets, ski gloves, first aid kits, snow goggles etc.), and bags (handbags, luggage, messenger bags, purses etc.). They have an abundance of popular brands at Blackleaf.com like Billabong, carhartt, Converse, Eastpak, Havaianas, Hurley, Merrell, LRG Clothing, JanSport, Oakley, Quiksilver, Roxy, Vans and many more.
Blackleaf.com ships their products the same day they are ordered. Delivery on smaller items is usually via Royal Mail while larger items are sent via their network of couriers usually on a 48 hour delivery service. These are for UK deliveries while for international deliveries they deliver to BFPO addresses. Shoppers can pay through Sagepay, Paypal, Visa, Delta, Mastercard, Maestro, and Visa Electron. The website is perfectly safe to shop in so people can divulge their credit card information.
The common misconception is that men hate shopping or they rarely shop. That may be the case for some but there are those who like to dress in style and are even more fond of clothes than women. The metrosexual man knows a lot about the latest in fashion and puts a lot of effort in his appearance, from his clothes to the style of his hair. Media plays an important part in all of these since people get to see male celebrities wearing stylish clothes and sporting chic hairstyles and therefore gets influenced by them. More and more men are also into online shopping.
A one stop shop for everything a man needs is Robert Fuller. It was founded in 1953 with the goal of selling quality men's tailoring and outfitting. Over the years it has expanded and changed owners but still kept its practice of selling high quality products which now includes casual wear. They actually have clothing in all occasions. The company's excellent customer service is also one of the things they are proud of. Shoppers can purchase items by category (Outerwear, Sweatshirts, Knitwear, Shirts, Jeans, Polo Shirts, T-shirts, Jackets & Blazers, Shoes and Boots, Bags, Wallets, Cufflinks, Shorts etc.) and by brand (Armani Collezioni, Circle of Gentlemen, Hugo Boss, Natural Selection Denim, Paul Smith, Polo Ralph Lauren, Robert Graham and many more). They also have Eton shirts, the classic British brand known for designing and manufacturing stylish men's clothes.
Robert Fuller delivers not only in UK but also all over the world. For customers in the UK who has orders of over £750 delivery is free while international orders should be over £1000 to avail of free delivery. The company makes sure that deliveries are made the soonest possible time. Payments can be made via Paypal, American Express, Visa, Sagepay among others.
I happen to love shoes. Although I have more casual shoes, sneakers and rubber shoes in my closet, there are a couple of leather shoes that I treasure. For people who like shoes with a lot of class and history associated with it, Crockett & Jones is the perfect choice. The business started in 1879 in Northampton manufacturing and selling top of the line footwear. Over the years it has evolved into something that a lot of shoe lovers can never be without. The quality of the shoes is quite unparalleled. They are made meticulously by highly skilled experts resulting in durable, stylish and comfortable shoes.
The Men's shoes consist of collections such as Hand Grade Collection, Main Collection and Shell Cordovan Collection, while there are low heeled shoes and boots for women. Aside from selling shoes, they offer additional services that customers would definitely appreciate. Full repairs are offered for its Goodyear Welted shoes and boots. They are returned to the factory where service can take up to ten weeks. Most of their retail shops also offer repairs which are done in two weeks. If you are a regular customer, they definitely have a record of your detailed shoe size. Furthermore, you can have something made especially for you. The choice of style and materials is yours. There is also a fully bespoke service available only in Paris.
Crockett & Jones has branches in UK (London and Birmingham), USA (New York), France (Paris), and Belgium (Brussels). They have a total of 11 retail shops and concessions. There are shops in knightsbridge in London that customers frequent. The newest branch of Crockett & Jones happens to be in Knightsbridge. There, shoppers will again be subjected to all the quality and elegant products as well as the excellent service that Crockett & Jones has been famous for.
Skate Hut's wide product range includes skateboards, longboards, skates, scooters, clothes, bikes, protection gear, footwear, accessories, bags, and toys. If you are looking for a particular brand, you can check out the popular brands they have and shop for the items you like by brand. Among the recognizable names are Adidas, Boxes Limited, Converse, DC Shoes, JanSport, Havaianas, Native Union, Nike, House of Marley, Skatehut, SkullCandy, Vans and a lot more. They have so many affordable and great items that shoppers will have a hard time choosing which one they will buy and probably will end up having multiple purchases. I happen to like wearing casual shoes like sneakers, specifically vans shoes Skate Hut style. They come in different cool designs and colors.
Many people from other parts of the world will be happy to know that they ship not only in UK but to most of Europe and other countries. You can return items within 14 days of receiving them and ask for a refund if ever you are not satisfied with them. You may also exchange items within 30 days. Shopping is easy.

Wait, I forgot to tell you that this cup went with plastic bins that I dunno for what for? ehhe I'll show some more pictures soon.. Stay tuned!
After the winter season, we should be ready for summer's fast approaching. Because there is a very big difference between the weather of this two seasons, you are probably needing a different outfits for summer. After the very covered outfits we will be shifting to those some skin revealing clothes. And if you are looking for those here's a guide that we can follow for the coming season. What will help us is the Levi's Made and Crafted 2013 Spring/Summer Lookbook. In this lookbook we can see a more brighter colors of clothes and a more laid back designs. The materials being used on these collection clothes are thinner and lighter. Unlike this winter clothes that is usually heavy and thick in materials.
Spring/Summer would be the most favorite weather of everyone, because on this season we can freely wear those comfortable clothes and we can barely flaunt our skins. Both men and women would love this weather they can hit the beach and have some beautiful tan. The good thing about spring/summer is that you can choose lots of colors on their wide variety of colorways to choose from. Like on this Levi's collection, you can see a lot of pink, light blue, and purples on their clothes. I'm pretty sure that sooner there will be lots of yellows, greens and more of the bright colors. So there you go, I know, everyone is excited for summer, all we have to do is to be prepared for this wonderful season.
One of my daily routine was to check the video sharing site called YouTube. Because this site really offers a lot and at the same time I learned most in to those shared videos like what I've found in here which a 2 dude is using their Casio Keyboards at musicians friend for their Korean song cover entitled "Ma Boy".
Actually, I really dunno them and even the song they sang, but still I wanted to include them here because of the quality music they've made and offer to us all to entertained.
A lot of you guys might ask me on what pieces that we must have for this year 2013 for us to be trendy and dope most especially for men's end. Because men had this different attack on their fashion than to a girl. Because girl's fashion as every usual today and they can easily make themselves fashionable through these pieces or creations available in the market today. So, what are these pieces that a man should have? I think Body Jewelry is one of the list because this kind of jewelry are the one in trends when the year's starts(2013). Secondly, the plain shirt are still on trends and also the chinos pants because these pieces are the most comfortable finds that man used to wear often.
When it comes to accessories. Men should have some dope caps as this summer and spring season comes and also this dope eye wear because these things are very useful and at the same it can make you more look fashionable. I think the key is, be your self and dont be so exaggerated things out. And am pretty sure that you'll become the most outstanding and dopeness among all as you have these all..

I usually travel light because I want my trip to be as hassle-free as possible. I also don't want to carry luggages that weigh too much. There are some people though who prefer taking many clothes and other things. In this case, multiple luggages are unavoidable. This is where HandTrucks2Go comes in. They are the industry leader in the online selling of moving equipment such as luggage carts, platform trucks, hand trucks, folding carts, dollies, powered stair climbers, and material lifts and stackers.

Lets get started! Create a new page. Give it a name, whether it's Recipes, Tablescapes, Crafts, etc.
Make sure you label it in the Post settings...the same name. I use labels for my page searches.
Click the HTML postion of the new page. Copy this code below and paste in the html side.
This table is shows (4) images across the page.
To customize it for your blog, change the yellow section to your blog post image link.
Change the Red section to your blog post url that goes with that post's image. If you want to change the picture sizes, change the green section. These sizes above line up nicely on most blogs.
Lastly, add the post title in the purple highlighted section.
It looks better if you keep your photos the same size. They line up better.
You can change how many images across to 2, 3 or 4 images showing across your blog page. Just think of 100%...Divide it be how many images to show on your page.
Four images side by side - 25% image size: "150"
Three Images side by side - 33% image size: "170"
Two large images side by side - 50% image size: "200"
Also, if you choose to go with 2 or 3 images across, you can make the pictures a little larger, because you aren't showing 4 across. . That means you change the green "140" The sizes are in twice in each line, so if you change them, make sure you change both of them.
If it all sounds too complicated, just keep it at 25% for 4 images side by side and the picture sizes @ 140 and just add your image links, post link and titles or hire me to add it to your blog.
Thanks for another great tutorial, Linda!! I've already pinned this, but I might need help from my hubby for this one. I'm not too good with HTML code. ;) Thanks for your visit to my Mitford post, and I hope you have a great week!!
You always give great tutorials, Linda, but you know me....Ms Scaredy Cat!!!
I love that you give blogging tutorials and that your instructions are easy to follow.
Thank you so much for the coding help and posting the code for Chico's Cancer Fund for me on my blog for me.
Also, thank you for your extremely generous donation to my dog's GoFundMe. I've raised $200 so far, which should be more than enough to pay for his consultation.
Your tutorials are indeed great, Linda. But there is no way I'm touching the insides of my blog! LOL!
Linda, what a wonderful post and tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing, there are many who are not very technically inclined in computers, myself included!
Such a clear, concise tutorial, Linda. I can't wait to share this next week on my blog! You have a real skill in making things easily accessible for others.
And what would I have done yesterday without you?! I so appreciate your input on my new design and my new beautiful golden arrow! Thank you for doing the coding and making it so easy for my tired brain cells, lol. Laughing with you is just the best, Wonder Woman.
Excellent as always, Linda. You are amazing!


We've watched too many horror movies to be fooled by the charm of a cabin in the woods. Yet this #vacationgoal illustration has us rethinking our stance. Plus, the simple label allows you to color in all the details—whether you imagine the woods of New Zealand or the redwoods of California.
There are few indulgences in life that rival a museum day to escape the cold, blustery streets. Now this soothing brew of pastels and muted tones is here to emulate the quiet contemplation we feel studying our favorite works of art. Also, there's something weirdly hypnotic about how despite the abstract treatment, the iconic works still evokes a sneaking sense of familiarity.
And of course, no winter is complete without a mug of warm mulled wine. This Scandinavian design has us feeling pretty earthy with its red clay tones, with just the right amount of bling in the jewel-toned patterns.

Big Pharma accused of driving up health costs with opioid scourge

Opioid epidemic, painkillers and drug abuse concept with close up on a bottle of prescription drugs and hydrocodone pills falling out of it on white(Photo: Getty Images/iStockphoto)
A South Dakota woman has filed a class-action lawsuit against nearly 20 pharmaceutical companies that manufactured addictive opioids, alleging the companies created a health care crisis that drove up the cost of health insurance.
Debra Green-Kuchta says she was forced to pay more for her private health insurance because of "skyrocketing opioid addiction," deaths and emergency room treatment through large sales of opioids at inflated prices. Opioids include common pain killers Vicodin, Percocet and Oxycontin. Their widespread use has also led to a surge in heroin abuse.
"The direct and proximate consequence of defendants' misconduct is that every South Dakota purchaser of private health insurance paid higher premiums, co-payments, and deductibles," the lawsuit says.
The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of South Dakota. It seeks to represent all people who purchased health insurance policies since 1996 or who paid for any portion of an employer-based plan from 1996 to the present.

The lawsuit contends that South Dakotans with private health insurance saw their costs increase 5.9 percent a year between 2001 and 2014. The average family of four in South Dakota pays more than $17,000 a year in premiums, co-pays and other health-care expenses.
The lawsuit accuses the industry of committing deceptive trade practices and of organizing an enterprise to create a market in chronic pain treatment to sell as many opioids as possible.
"To accomplish this purpose, the enterprise systematically misrepresented to the general public, doctors, and insurers the risks of using opioids for chronic pain, and flouted requirements to investigate and prevent the ensuing waive (sic) of suspicious orders," the lawsuit says.
The lawsuit also claims that the industry targeted veterans, and that one company in particular, Purdue, kept a database of South Dakota doctors who were suspected of over prescribing opioids. Rather than report those doctors to authorities, the company used the data to bolster its sales.
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, an industry trade group, did not respond to a request for comment.
Multiple lawsuits have been brought by governments and Indian tribes seeking reimbursement from opioid manufacturers for expenses related to the wave of addiction kicked off by the drugs. Attorney General Marty Jackley announced earlier this year that the state of South Dakota filed suit against manufacturers to recoup damages to state medical programs.
Travis Lenkner, a lawyer who is representing Green-Kuchta, said his firm, Keller Lenkner, has filed similar class action lawsuits in 15 other states. They represent a new front against the industry because they seek to recover damages paid by private people as opposed to the lawsuits brought by governments on behalf of the taxpayers.
"Most of the litigation that exists right now is brought on behalf of the taxpayers who paid more in taxes because there were public health care and public safety costs associated with the opioid health epidemic," Lenkner said.
The industry, he said, comparing it to the tobacco industry, used front groups and bogus research to dupe people into thinking their products were safe and not addictive. Last year overdose deaths topped 70,000, more than caused by breast cancer.
"It's just a shocking degree of death, destruction and pain that has been caused by companies that were supposedly acting in our best interest by promoting a therapeutic product," Lenkner said.
The class-action lawsuits have been consolidated in federal court in Cleveland. Lenkner said he expects the South Dakota case will also be reassigned to that court.
Ron Parsons Jr. talks about what the state is doing to try and squash the rise of opioid abuse in South Dakota.

Border Wall Contracts Delayed By Pro-Migration CEO
File Photo: Wendy Shattil and Bob Rozinski/Getty Images
The contract awards for the construction of new border wall have been delayed until October by a contractor who has publicly opposed President Donald Trump's immigration reforms.
Planned contract awards to build six to eight sets of prototype walls were protested by a losing bidder, the Texas-based Penna Group company. The protest is being adjudicated by the Government Accountability Office, with a resolution deadline of October 4.
"Such protests are common in Federal contracting processes and no contracts may be awarded until the protests are resolved," the DHS's United States Customs and Border Protection agency told Breitbart News. The agency continued:
By statute, GAO is required to issue a decision on a protest within 100 days of filing. CBP expects GAO's decision on these protests in early October 2017, which would delay construction to late October or early November, which is beyond our original summer 2017 timeline. CBP could resume contract consideration if the protest is resolved sooner.
CBP is updating the expected timeline of contract award and construction to allow for immediate resumption of the acquisition process based on GAO's decision. CBP will continue to take steps to implement the President's Executive Order on Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements (EO 13767) to ensure operational control of the border.
The protest was filed by executives at the Penna Group group, based in Texas. The company did not respond to Breitbart News.
Congress has appropriated funds for the construction of 46 miles of barriers in 2017. The money can also be used in 2018, so the contract dispute delay won't stop the planned construction. The House has approved another $1.6 billion in 2018. If matched by the Senate, those funds will add another 62 miles of border wall, and help prepare for additional construction.
During the last several months, the company's CEO has ridiculed Trump's immigration reforms and the border wall, which would provide a symbolic and concrete barrier between low-wage employers in Democratic-run cities and the world's bottomless supply of cheap labor.
"We wanted to make sure that a company that had compassion for immigrants was one of the companies putting in one of the designs," CEO Michael Evangelista-Ysasaga told the Guardian newspaper. The newspaper added:
"The story isn't, 'Hey there's a Latino guy building a wall to keep other Latino people out," said Michael Evangelista-Ysasaga, CEO of the Penna Group in Fort Worth, Texas. "It's that we need comprehensive immigration reform." …
The CEO, who said that he was one of the earliest participants in Occupy Wall Street in New York City, hoped that the wall would "give the American people the appetite to have comprehensive immigration reform", which is his main priority.
The CEO described his grandiose design to the Huffington Post:
Evangelista-Ysasaga says he decided to throw his hat in the bidding ring. "We wanted to propose a more humane obstruction," he expressed. "I didn't want to have to wake up on a Sunday morning and read a story about a family getting killed trying to cross the border."
PennaGroup's vision is catered to fit CBP's basic demands, delivering two relatively straightforward walls with a hint of patriotic flair. The first option is titled a "Solid, Concrete Border Wall," featuring black wall panels emblazoned with the seal of the United States in recessed concrete and connected with highly polished steel beams.
Then there's the "Other Border Wall" ― constructed from polished, double wire mesh panels, with a six-foot tall anti-climb cap, also emblazoned with a seal. The cap, PennaGroup's technical team explained in an email to HuffPost, was designed with neoclassical architecture influences in mind, including the federal and Greek revival styles that inspired 18th- and 19th-century design in Washington, D.C. These architectural details, however, would only adorn the side of the wall that faces America.
Trump is preparing a proposal to reform the nation's cheap-labor immigration system into "merit-based" immigration system. The merit-based system is intended to increase Americans' productivity and wealth while reducing the inflow of low-skilled relatives of recent immigrants.
Progressive Democrats, pro-corporate GOP leaders, and corporate CEOs oppose Trump's popular plan, which would reduce the inflow of wage-reducing labor, pressure companies to increase pay and training for young and older Americans workers, and to promote investment in labor-saving machinery.

Societal Reactions on Marriage Equality Ruling
Unless you've been living under a rock, you have probably heard the new Supreme Court's ruling on marriage equality. It is now legal in all 50 states to allow same-sex marriage. Finally, same-sex love is being recognized as legitimate under the law of the Constitution. The news shocked America and all over the nation cries of happiness were shared as this love is now being fully recognized.
Many supporters came out on social media to share their response to the Supreme Court's ruling. President Obama, a long time supporter of gay marriage sent out the followin tweet on Friday: "Today is a big step in our march toward equality. Gay and lesbian couples now have the right to marry, just like anyone else. #LoveWins." Even famous celebrities such as Miley Cyrus spoke out about their position on the ruling. Cyrus exclaims, "We're finally at a place where the majority of Americans support LGBT rights and we have finally achieved nationwide marriage equality, F**k, yeah!" Religious leaders spoke out respectfully and in response to all the hate surrounding homosexuality that is religious-based. Jesuit priest James Martin posted on Facebook a beautiful post urging Catholics to stop the "twisted, crabbed and narrow tolerance which often comes in the guise of condemnations." His post focused on God's beliefs by showing true compassion, respect and true love for one another, despite their individual beliefs. In addition, it seems that major corporations are responding joyously. Particularly, Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream is responding by changing the name of a previous flavor Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough to the comical "I Dough, I Dough." The company has stated on it's website that the honorary name change has been made in celebration of the new Supreme Court decision, "With this ruling, the SCOTUS recognizes the bond of love and commitment between two people, and protects the fundamental rights and freedoms that come with it."
Sadly, not everyone seems to be on board with the SCOTUS ruling, former governor and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has been very open on Twitter about his opinion on gay marriage. He tweets, "This irrational, unconstitutional rejection of the expressed will of the people in over 30 states will prove to be one of the court's most disastrous decisions, and they have had many. The only outcome worse than this flawed, failed decision would be for the President and Congress, two co-equal branches of government, to surrender in the face of this out-of-control act of unconstitutional, judicial tyranny." Quite a mouthful, right? However, it seems that Huckabee isn't the only one trying to denounce the new law of the land. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is now fighting the court's ruling calling it a fight for state rights. A 25 day rehearing period is in place for the time period.
Despite the critics, marriage equality is now the law of the land and hopefully as time progresses, the rest of the country will get on board. Seems like marriage equality will be here to stay. However, that does not mean that LGBTQ issues are gone. Just like any oppression, it is integrated into the complex web of society that only more political interference and an empathetic view of history can heal. These are baby steps, but they're getting us closer.

Now formally accredited for its Listening into Action scheme, Gloucestershire is just one of many NHS trusts supporting staff-led innovations to transform healthcare.
It's often been said that the best workplace innovations are inspired by the knowledge and experience of frontline staff. Nowhere is this more relevant than in healthcare, where ideas and input from nurses, doctors and allied health professionals can be crucial in the development of new equipment, techniques and models of care.
Over the last 10 years, many NHS trusts have made good use of the thought-leading Listening into Action (LiA) approach to encourage staff to come up with innovative ideas to improve care. They include Gloucestershire Care Services (GCS), which has recently become the first community provider to receive formal accreditation for its use of the programme.
Since 2013, LiA has helped GCS develop a number of staff-led initiatives, including providing support for carers at community hospitals and venues, new standards for end-of-life care, a redesign of complex care for children using parent feedback and a new system to give community nurses and therapists more time with patients.
On Merseyside, cancer patients are benefitting from an innovative service which has cut waiting times and simplified the appointment process. The idea of a 'rapid chemotherapy' chair was thought up by nurses on the Delamere Ward Day Case Unit at the Clatterbridge Cancer Centre. Patients receive oral chemotherapy and sub-cutaneous treatments while sitting in a chair in a purpose-built area of the ward. Clatterbridge nurses have also pioneered an 'at home' cancer treatment service for oral and intravenous treatments.
Funding for staff-led innovation is available from a variety of sources. Since 1990 the Queen's Nursing Institute has supported hundreds of nurse-led projects, helping community nurses deliver improvements in patient care. Projects have been funded across the full range of community nursing specialities, including dementia care, long-term conditions, mental health, palliative care and substance misuse.
In the field of children's nursing, Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity aims to improve the quality of care for seriously ill children and young people through its Marvellous Nurse Inventing Room, supported by the Burdett Trust for Nursing. It's currently funding 12 projects, including an initiative to improve epilepsy services, a study of children living with platelet function disorder and a 'superhero kit' to help children with arthritis deal more positively with regular painful injections.
Encouraging staff-led innovation isn't just about improving patient care. It's about making employees' voices heard. Trusts that have implemented the Listening into Action programme have reported a 120% improvement in staff feeling engaged and valued within 12 months.
Supporting innovation across the healthcare system is a key enabler of the Five Year Forward View for NHS England. Drawing on the practical knowledge and expertise of frontline health professionals to drive that innovation makes a lot of sense.


The interview lasted about 2 hours—finally, a movie producer that has a passion for the truth about "UFOs!" The rest is history, as "Out of the Blue" is by far the best documentary on the subject of the UFO phenomenon available today . . . that is until later this year when "I Know What I Saw" will become available.
I was greatly honored when James asked me to watch and review his latest creation. It's not everyday a famous Hollywood producer calls and asks this humble witness for his opinion. Thank you James for trusting me!
As a witness to the massive V shaped craft of March 13, 1997, I applaud this film as the FIRST to "fully explain" the difference between the events of the massive contrivances and the 10:00 pm MST videos of high altitude flares.
Finally, there exists a definitive explanation that contrasts an extraordinary event to that of the very mundane action of dropping flares!
Tens of thousands witnessed the 8:00 pm events, while less than 20 actually saw what was filmed on those videos looking southwest from elevated mountain properties around 10:00 pm that night.
Thank you James! You are the first to get it right!
Not only does "I Know What I Saw" spend time on the March 13, 1997 Arizona mass sighting but he goes in great detail about the mass sightings in and near Stephenville, Texas. James got the best witnesses there as well e.g., Ricky Sorrels, Steve Allen and Angela Joiner (the latter being the local reporter who broke the story). There are many similarities between the mass sighting in Arizona and the Stephenville case.
But, most importantly he was able to get the highest caliber of witnesses from government, aeronautics, astronautics and the military from all over the world! This collective represents the utmost in credible witnesses with very powerful information that in my view is evidentiary that a percentage of UFO reports are extraterrestrial in origin! All these high level witnesses met in Washington D.C. at the National Press Club. Their evidence is overwhelming!
The goal is simple: Dear US Government; please open your UFO files and tell the world the truth. We can handle it.
'Out of the Blue': Do Aliens Exist?
Whatever happened to "Beyond The Blue", the supposed sequal of Out Of The Blue? Did Fox change the name at the last minute? Hmmm...not to keen about the name but the trailer looks interesting.
Thanks for taking the time to make comment.
Originally, the name of Fox's latest effort was to be similar to "Out of The Blue"; however, due to conflicts with his goal of having it seen in the "movie theaters" it "couldn't" be similar to the previous production.
The name will grow on you!

children, "clean slates"
Posted on October 7, 2010 by hugmamma
A favorite saying has been that "Children are clean slates, upon which adults leave their chalk-mark." Although babies are most likely born with individual personalities, it's also very likely that adults influence their development to a great degree. Our passions and prejudices are passed along directly, or through osmosis. We are human, so it's impossible to guarantee perfection when raising children. Nonetheless, we should make a concerted effort to guard against leaving a legacy of negativism to future generations. Easier said than done.
Change is inevitable; life isn't stagnant. But while we can't stop change, we can control its direction. Viewing life through a baby's eyes, it would seem only natural that he or she would want a pleasant environment in which to grow and flourish. It's not far-fetched to think that adults would agree.
Unfortunately, life has had a head start, our world seems already "set in stone." War is waging all around us. Battles are being fought on every front: rich vs. poor, liberals vs. conservatives, Wall Street vs. Main Street, blacks vs. whites, Muslims vs. Christians, U.S. citizens vs. illegal immigrants; big businesses vs. small businesses. On the front line fighting are the stockholders, politicians, consumers, lobbyists, NAACP, Ku Klux Klan, "skinheads," religious fanatics, families, farmers, pharmaceuticals, health insurance companies.
The fallout from our self-inflicted war is its negative impact upon our society, particularly our children. Many fear they will be saddled with our trillion-dollar national debt; I fear they're already saddled with a psyche of distrust and dislike for anyone and anything, alien to the world in which they've been raised.
Children are "killing" children, as in the case of Tyler Clementi's suicide brought about because his college roommate and a friend posted pictures on YouTube, revealing that Clementi was gay. Obviously the instigators grew up with a certain mind-set, and felt certain their revelation would be well received by millions having the same mind-set. That way of thinking, "us against them," has been generations in the making, passed along without thought of the consequences to the most vulnerable among us, our children.
When we become adults I wish we could remember how it was growing up as children. Rose, a black girl at the orphanage where my mom worked, was forever picked on because she was mentally slow, stuttered, and built like an Amazon. With nowhere to go when she graduated from high school, my mom brought Rose into our home for a couple of years, to share what little we had. Another orphan, Fuji, was teased because he was slightly built and had effeminate tendencies. And I can remember telling "white lies" in elementary school to cover up being poor, wanting desperately to be accepted by others. How did we children know that being black, disabled, gay and poor were qualities that set us apart, like lepers, like outcasts? Why did our perpetrators know they could victimize us, and not be punished by the adults? It's no wonder we grow up doing what was done to us, or by us, as children. Can the cycle ever be broken? I hope so.
I'm still trying to "wrap my brain around" the Human Rights Campaign. While I can't identify with gays in their perception of life, I know in my gut that they are human beings deserving of the same respect that I demand for myself. Knowing several gay men, I'm aware of their incredible talent for business, and commitment to doing their utmost in their positions, most of them in management. Perhaps because they feel they have to prove their worth above and beyond their straight peers, gays are sensitive to their surroundings and those who cohabit them. Granted, there are those who are jerks, just like there are straights who are jerks. I avoid both, not because they're gay or straight, but because their personalities don't coalesce with mine. Period.
Repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is not an easy undertaking, not because it CAN'T be done, but because of society's pervasive mind-set. Get rid of the mind-set, and I don't see a problem. As children, weren't we told to "get along with others?" I don't remember being told only to play with "straight" boys and girls.
One of my best childhood guy friends, Michael, was very fashion conscious, seemed like one of the girls during sleepovers, eagerly joined in learning new dance steps, and was as heartbroken as me when my boyfriend and I broke up. My brothers referred to Michael as a "mahu," (Hawaiian for "gay"), but that didn't deter me from having him as a close friend. My mom thought he was a great friend, my girlfriends liked him, and my other guy friends, sports jocks, liked him as well. In fact Michael wasn't gay for he had a serious crush on a mutual friend, who felt badly that she couldn't return his feelings.
I couldn't imagine the world without the gay men I know, and about whom I care. They're like me in all the ways that matter. They love, they feel, they bleed. Why wouldn't I let them defend me by serving our country? Their sexual preference seems to be the only obstacle to military duty. Delete that, and it seems a "no-brainer." But eliminating historical prejudices, especially ones based upon subjective interpretations of the Bible, seems an impossibility. My one voice can't "move mountains," but as Gandhi said "Everything you do in life will be insignificant, but it's important you do it anyway, because no onelse will."
For me, those discussed in Eve Conant's Newsweek article "Don't Ask Don't Tell," are the faces of the Human Rights Campaign, gays who want to serve and, perhaps, die for our country.
Joseph Rocha had always wanted to be in the military. He enlisted in the Navy on his 18th birthday, trained to become a handler working with explosive-sniffing dogs, and found himself part of a small, specialized unit in Bahrain. Banned by law from discussing his sexual orientation, he had a hard time explaining to his peers why he didn't party with them, or even join their bawdy conversations. He became an outcast. Fellow sailors ridiculed him for being gay. At one point they locked him in a dog kennel. Another time they forced him to eat dog food. In 2007 he was discharged after signing a document admitting his homosexuality. But if "don't ask, don't tell" is repealed–as many expect will happen in the coming year–Rocha says he wants to serve again. "You never lose that sense of duty and service and love for country," says the second-generation Mexican-American from Sacramento, Calif., who will graduate from the University of San Diego this spring. "It's a unique and beautiful thing most of us feel we were robbed of and would take the first chance to have it back." …
Lissa Young, 48,…A West Point grad from a military family–her father was a fighter pilot–Young had an exceptional 16-year military career before she was outed in 2002. At that time, she was a Chinook pilot and West Point instructor who had just been selected for promotion to lieutenant colonel. …
To fly commercial planes, Young needed new training, but her financial security–including her retirement benefits–disappeared the day she was discharged. She was in her 40s with $50,000 to her name and no job experience outside the military. … she was hired by Raytheon as a salesperson for air traffic-control systems in the Middle East. But she felt awkward in the corporate world. …She…made her way to Harvard.
Now Young is on the verge of getting her doctorate in education, still hoping to teach at West Point as a civilian if she can't rejoin the military. As a cadet at West Point, she was the first female to serve as a deputy brigade commander, and she returned later becoming a full-fledged instructor. 'I'm a product of West Point,' she says 'They molded me, I took an oath to dedicate my life to leading soldiers.' …being in the Army and serving isn't what I do, it's who I am.' She would love to fly again, and if allowed back in, wants to be deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. …
Bleu Copas, 34, joined the Army after the attacks of September 11. 'I thought it was the honorable thing to do,' says the native of Johnson City, Tenn. But after almost four years in the service, the then-sergeant–and fluent Arabic speaker–was anonymously outed. …He accepted an honorable discharge. 'My commander told me he didn't want to do this, that I was one of his best leaders,' …Despite what happened, he says he wants to return 'for the same reason I signed up in the first place: to serve my country.'
The Army invested a lot of time and money in Copas before it dumped him. He spent 18 months in intensive Arabic training in Monterey, Calif., and had top-secret clearance for handling sensitive documents. These days he works a desk job at the Department of Veterans Affairs back home, helping soldiers transition to civilian life. He doesn't feel comfortable in a suit and tie, and he's forgetting his Arabic. 'It's very rusty now; I don't have a lot of use for it in northeast Tennessee.' He says he's not bitter, but it's clear he'd like a change. 'I've been told I'm too forgiving; maybe that plays a role. But if there are new opportunities, I just want to take them.'
After 9/11 ousted gay vets felt hopeful they would be recalled to service. 'These were high-performing people who knew the nation was in need and couldn't imagine the military wouldn't want them,' says Bridget Wilson, a San Diego lawyer who has represented gay and lesbian soldiers for decades. Yet pilots, linguists, and trained gunners watched from the sidelines as the military loosened restrictions on high-school dropouts and former drug users to boost recruitment for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. 'It really made us crazy when they waived convicted felons into service,' Wilson recalls."
If my daughter were to go to war, I'd want her fighting alongside soldiers who are the best in their fields. But I don't anticipate having to worry about my child going to combat, so I'll leave it to the parents of children who might one day decide to enlist. Would it be better that they be caught in a hailstorm of fire with trained soldiers, gays and "straights?" Or all "straights," some having been drug addicts or felons before joining? I'm not saying they can't change, but what's their proven track record?
just my opinion…hugmamma.

Whether in black and white or Technicolor, we are all guilty of not "reading" the fine print. The current brouhaha over Shirley Sherrod is proof positive. Of course this is not the first example of our propensity for "signing on the dotted line" before examining all the details with a magnifying glass. Are we a lazy society, an all-about-me society, or just plain dumb?
There but for the "grace of God" go I. Shirley Sherrod went about her work, as we all do, unaware that blogger Andrew Breitbart and his YouTube video snippet was about to catapult her onto the world stage. I'm certain we'd all like our moment in the spotlight; if we could choose the moment. We'd like to "crop" the photo-op to our liking, not assign someonelse the task. Because you know it'll be to their specifications. Chances are 50-50 that it'll be a "hatchet" job.
The media, the Department of Agriculture, the NAACP and, it seems, even the White House did not look at the "fine print." Breitbart had an axe to grind on the back of Sherrod. Called upon the carpet after all the facts were made known, Breitbart has refocused his sights and is now targeting the NAACP. Seems like a more fitting opponent, especially since they were willing to throw Sherrod "under the bus."
Reader beware. In an internet savvy world we are all open to being misunderstood in a BIG way. We can't hide. No matter how nimbly we tread, there's no guarantee that we are not on somebody's "radar." What can we do? Nothing, I'm afraid. We're beyond returning to the "womb." Privacy is no longer an option, it seems. Proof?
Facebook is being acclaimed as a purveyor of member information. That is not enough to discourage millions from joining. It seems AOL was forced out of India because Facebook dominated the scene there. Rather than relegating Facebook to ignominy, a movie will soon be released giving the internet giant even more exposure. Know what? I'm sure the film will earn millions because moviegoers don't get that Facebook is really about Facebook, not its members.
Yes, I'm a Facebook member, a very reluctant one. I congratulate its genius for creating a social network that surpasses one's wild imaginings. However that alone doesn't atone for their blase attitude about member privacy. My excuse for joining was to view my daughter's work videos. It irked me when others could see her dance and I couldn't. If it weren't for this compelling reason, I would've continued to keep Facebook at arm's length, a GOLIATH'S arm's length. But moms will surely agree that our children get us to do things we wouldn't otherwise do.
So how do we live our lives going forward? I would suggest we heed the ATTENTION TO DETAIL "Read" the fine print as best we can. We're not perfect so we'll miss some things. When we do we should pause, breathe deeply, and restart our "engines." More importantly we should feel compassion for others, for unless we "walk in their shoes" we can't know what they're really about. The old adage "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" still applies. In her 80's, my mother-in-law still purports to living a mantra spoken by a local tv personality in his daily '60's talk show. "IF YOU CAN'T SAY SOMETHING NICE ABOUT SOMEBODY, DON'T SAY ANYTHING." (I've taken the liberty of correcting some grammar, because the original phrase used more culturally appropriate language for the viewing audience.)

Whenever I left for a long journey across the seven seas, my grandmother insisted I ate a spoonful of yogurt with sugar and uttered "Jai Ganesh" under my breath. Not one for rituals, I yet followed her instructions meekly. The elephant headed god, the son of Shiva and Parvati, the remover of obstacles, is dearly beloved. Lord Ganesha is the most worshipped deity in the Hindu Pantheon. His earthly brethren, however, the elephant, is under threat. In the past century, the population of the Asian elephant has plummeted by 90 percent as its habitat shrinks, leading to an increase in man-elephant conflict, with poaching continuing unabated.
The Elephant Family, an International NGO committed to protecting the Asian elephant from extinction in the wild, has funded over 160 projects since its inception in 2002. A part of its effort is the Elephant Parade, the world's largest art exhibition of decorated elephant statues. The Indian edition had Rohit Bal, Amitabh Bachchan, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, and a host of other artists create 101 pachyderms that eventually went under the hammer, the funds going to create elephant corridors in the country and rescue centres around the forests. (Beej Edit note: Elephant corridors are narrow strips of land that allow elephants to move from one protected park and habitat to another. In these narrow, unprotected corridors elephants and other animals are generally vulnerable.) Out of the 101, 73 so far were sold all within India raising Rs 5.75 crore in this event's first edition.
For all of us feeling bereft with the delightful tuskers having gone to their homes, Ganesh has some good news. "There is a team of 70 brilliant creatives working in Mudumulai in South India building a herd of 100 life-size elephants out of steel and lantana, which will go live at the Kochi Biennale at the end of this year," reveals Ganesh. It's a long wait till these pachyderms go ambling across the country, till then; Ganesh speaks the legacy we need to leave for the next generation.
What drew you to pachyderms, inspiring you to work for their conservation, rather than any other species?
I grew up with a love of epic landscapes and faraway places. It wasn't so much specifically the elephant, but more the forests they lived in that attracted me. That and having a meaningful adventure in life. To me, just looking at an elephant is living, breathing adventure. The elephant has got to be one of the most curious animals ever to walk this earth, and to lose the elephant would really be like losing our own imagination.
It's time to celebrate with the haathis!
Tell us about your work in India thus far?
Elephant Family's Founding Leader Mark Shand rescued an elephant begging in the streets of India and this prompted him to found the NGO. Our work has focussed on India—teaming up with the most pioneering organisations here to mitigate human elephant conflict and protect India's forests. We have been active here for 15 years, but never applied our ambitious awareness and fundraising strategies. Changing this was the biggest challenge and equally the biggest opportunity.
India is a sort of conservation miracle with 27,000 elephants remaining, compared with 200 in China, a country of the same population. Achieving public and political support for this endangered species is key to saving it from extinction. Events like Elephant Parade are a catalyst.
What were the biggest challenges in executing this project?
There is a phenomenal amount of behind-the-scenes preparatory work. Having done this for 10 years, we can still never fully predict the details. Everything starts from scratch in a new city—production, logistics, permissions, artwork, and marketing—all have to be tailored and it's thanks to the generous political support and expert organisations we've been working with here for the last 18 months that this exhibition made it to the streets in such spectacular style. We knew India was a great centre of creativity and expected this to be a huge success for this heritage animal and were not disappointed.
We are forever grateful to every single one of the artists, and to the phenomenal curators of the exhibition—Farah Siddiqui and Aqdas Tatli— for lending their wealth of talents to our cause. The response from the artistic community has been heart-warming and exciting.
Were you surprised by the response the elephants received?
Everybody loves elephants, even if they haven't met one in person! We had hoped for an enthusiastic response, but what we actually experienced was more than just enthusiasm. The parade helped create meaningful friendships with a number of companies and individual philanthropists we believe we'll carry forever and will be at the frontline of our work in the most meaningful way. The most joyful and happy surprise was to see just how much the message resonated in India, which was very different to other countries where this exhibition has been put on. Everybody had their own elephant stories as well as their parents and grandparent's tales. The concept of the elephant corridors seemed to be well understood, it was a marvellous sight to see a child who was no more than eight year's old explaining corridors to their mother. Often this doesn't stick but we hope these elephants will help change that.
Post the auction, what specific areas will the funds be invested in and how will it be monitored?
All of the funds raised from the event will be invested in elephant conservation in India, supporting key conservation projects throughout the elephant's habitat, from Kerala in the south to Assam in North-East India. Fifty percent of the total funds have been specifically earmarked to help secure the next of the 101 elephant corridors that have been identified by The Asian Elephant Alliance—a partnership of Wildlife Trust of India, Elephant Family, The World Land Trust, IFAW and IUCN. These vital corridors, or passages, link one elephant feeding ground to another and form the elephant's traditional migratory routes. Over the years, these corridors have been blocked or fragmented by human development including settlements, farms, railways and roads bringing humans and elephants into conflict for food and space. Securing these corridors for wildlife will help reduce conflict and provide safe landscapes for elephants and people alike.
One of the first corridors secured was the Tirunelli-Kudrakote elephant corridor in Kerala which received legal protection in 2015, meaning that elephants will be protected in perpetuity. However, Elephant Family still funds the monitoring and evaluation of this conservation success to ensure that best practices are maintained and that a sustainable, conservation model is in place as we develop and secure new corridors across India.
What was interesting was the access that people had to the elephants. People could hug, touch and take pictures with them. Do you feel such interactions led to a shift in perception about elephant conservation in the minds of people?
This was entirely deliberate—ensuring the artwork and the message is accessible to the man on the street is important. One of Mark's favourite sayings about how to fundraise is 'make people smile and then ask them for help' and we remain true to that philosophy with our events. Our aim is to highlight a serious message in the most colourful way that delights rather than depresses people—Elephant Parade does just that.
Is there any timeline for the implementation of these projects? What would be the measure of success?
Our goal is ambitious— to secure 101 elephant corridors by 2025. By securing them we aim to restore the wildlife corridors that link traditional feeding grounds enabling elephants to move safely, free from the interference of people. As in the Kerala example, relocation of settlements out of the corridors is sometimes necessary. Happily, the 37 families that voluntarily relocated in Kerala are extremely happy with their new homes and the land they farm free from passing elephants. It's a win-win situation for elephants and people.
There are many instances of man-elephant conflict in India. For instance, I recently visited Coorg and a few coffee plantations have electric fences to keep tuskers away. How do we minimise conflicts in a humane manner?
Much of the conflict arises when elephants raid crops and food from houses and people naturally defend their property. There are a number of deterrents that can be used— elephant trenches and bees are examples, but elephants are intelligent and a hungry elephant will often work out a way to by-pass these! We are currently funding an animal behaviourist to try to understand the key triggers that make an elephant a crop-raider, so that we can create more effective deterrents.
Evidence has shown, time and again, that violence and noisy protests against elephants can make the animals more violent, not just at the point of conflict but in future situations too. We also fund community-based early warning systems, which send SMS messages to phones, which notify villagers when there are elephants in the area so that they can avoid stepping into conflict situations.
As citizens of this planet, what legacy can we leave for the next generation?
We should help engender respect for wild spaces by understanding how they, and the animals that live in them, are vital for our own survival.
We're excited about the new herd. When do we see them?
The 100-strong herd made of steel and Lantana will go live at the Kochi Biennale at the end of this year. We then hope to bring them to another major Indian city before they go on tour to the UK and America too. With their strong conservation message to put India's elephants on the map, just like Africa's elephants, we believe that this is only the beginning of our elephant revolution!

Porsche gives the go-ahead for fourth model series
Porsche has given the go-ahead for the prestige sports brands' fourth model series.
Scheduled to enter the showrooms in 2009, the new car is to be a sports coupé with four seats and four doors. The engine will be fitted at the front and will drive the rear wheels.
The fourth model series built by the Stuttgart carmaker following the 911, the Boxster and the Cayenne will be called the Panamera.
Porsche's total investment in the new model series, including development, will be more than €1bn (£691m) and will come from the company's own funds.
Porsche expects worldwide sales to reach at least 20,000 units a year.
Dr Wendelin Wiedeking, the president and CEO of Porsche, says: "We have indeed taken a lot of time in making this decision. But now we know one thing for sure: the Panamera is the right car for Porsche."
There are no plans for a joint venture with another carmaker, but Porsche did say they would be working more closely with selected system suppliers.
Production of the Panamera is to be in Leipzig, Germany, where Porsche already builds the Cayenne and the Carrera GT high-performance sportscar. This would require a major extension of the assembly hall, already in operation today, which would begin in 2006/2007.
Should the site be chosen for production of the Panamera it would potentially create 600 new jobs. In the course of the project approximately 400 more new jobs will be created at Porsche's original plant in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, where the engines for the fourth model series will be built, and at the Weissach Development Centre.

> Greek travel > Greek ferry fire
Greek ferry catches fire
At least 12 are thought to have died and hundreds of passengers rescued from a burning Greek ferry sailing from Greece to Italy.
Rescue workers say nearly 40 passengers remain unaccounted for, but it is unclear whether that is due to inaccurate manifest lists.
Two Albanian seamen who took part in the rescue operation on a tugboat are thought to be among the dead.
Rescue helicopters worked through the night to lift more than 420 passengers to safety while Italian and Greek Navy ships joined in to aid the evacuation of the burning vessel .
A total of 478 passengers and crew members were on board the boat, operated by Greek ferry company ANEK Lines, which caught fire west of the Greek holiday island of Corfu, while sailing the Adriatic Sea from the Greek port of Patras to Ancona in Italy.
The Italian-flagged ferry boat 'Norman Atlantic' was operating as a temporary replacement for the normal ANEK Lines ferry which is currently undergoing annual maintenance.
Rescue operations have been hampered by poor weather, rough seas and high winds. Rescue helicopters have worked through the night lifting passengers off the burning ferry and transferring them to nearby vessels.
Greek and Italian helicopters made repeated trips to the boat to airlift passengers from countries that include Britain, Greece, Germany, Italy, Austria, Turkey, France and the Netherlands to safety.
At least seven merchant ships, in the area at the time of the fire breaking out on Sunday morning, have joined the rescue effort and have surrounded the stricken vessel to form a barrier against the high winds.
Greek Maritime Minister, Miltiadis Varvitsiotis, said the very bad weather, with winds of up to 55 miles per hour, has hindered the rescue operations.
He said: "We are doing everything we can to save those on board and no one will be left helpless in this tough situation. It is one of the most complicated rescue operations that we have ever done."
Attempts to tow the boat to safety have failed but the fire is now thought to be under control. Greek and Italian Navy ships have arrived to help in the coordinated rescue effort while fire tugs are spraying the burning ferry with seawater to help extinguish the blaze.
Eye witnesses report that passengers were unable to reach lifeboats because the decks where they were stored were too hot to walk on and shoes melted on the deck surface.
Passengers huddled on decks, away from the fire and fumes, but suffered cold winds and freezing temperatures as they waited to be rescued
The first rescue ship carrying 49 people evacuated from the ferry arrived at the Italian port of Bari early today while 100 people were taken off the ferry during the night, according to reports from the Italian coastguard.
Meanwhile an investigation has already begun into how the vessel caught fire. The Norman Atlantic has a capacity of carrying around 220 vehicles and many of those on board are thought to be lorry drivers.
According to initial reports the blaze broke out in the exterior garage of the vessel at around 6am on Sunday. Italian news reports say the fire broke out on the ferry's vehicle deck before spreading.
Some passengers managed to board life rafts but the rough seas prevented many more from evacuating the ship.
The chief executive of the Italian Visentini group that owns the vessel said the ferry had passed a recent technical inspection and the boat was in "full working order", according to reports from the Italian news agency Ansa.

NL West: Around the Foghorn Staff Predictions for 2018
By Jake Mastroianni
LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 22: Tony Cingrani #54 of the Los Angeles Dodgers sprays champagne in the clubhouse after their 4-2 win a MLB game against the San Francisco Giants to clinch their fifth consecutive National League West Division title at Dodger Stadium on September 22, 2017 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Victor Decolongon/Getty Images)
As we prepare for Opening Day on Thursday, the staff at Around the Foghorn has put together our predicted order to finish in the NL West this season.
Not that anyone needs a reminder — or wants one — but last year the Los Angeles Dodgers won the division, followed by the Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies, San Diego Padres and yes, the San Francisco Giants finished in last place.
This division looks to be one of the best in all of baseball this year with the Rockies improving their bullpen, the Giants improving their offense and the Padres youth growing up.
The Dodgers and Diamondbacks didn't do much in the offseason to improve, but they return just about everyone and will likely be the favorites.
Here are our staff predictions for 2018 in the NL West:
Jake Mastroianni
Daniel Sperry
Michael Saltzman
Luke Corvello
More from Around the Foghorn
SF Giants: The closer of the present and future has arrived
BOGO 50% off on San Francisco Giants shirts at BreakingT
SF Giants: Brandon Belt hits IL with fractured thumb
SF Giants: 2021 team is approaching franchise milestone
SF Giants: Brandon Belt is a qualifying offer candidate
Hiren Patel
Taylor Wirth
As you can see, the two unanimous picks for the division are the Dodgers in first and the Padres in last. The battle will be for the three spots in the middle.
Last year the top three teams in the division all made the playoffs — if you consider the Wild Card game the playoffs. There is a good chance that could be the case this year as well, so jockeying for second and third place in the NL West is no joke.
Most people seem to think the Giants will finish in third place with the Diamondbacks finishing second. That means the Giants could still have a good chance of making the playoffs.
We'll see how everything unfolds. As we all know, you can't predict baseball. As obvious as some of these picks seem now, we could look very silly in a few months. That's what makes baseball so great!


Unlike many European countries, in the United Kingdom apart from individual, independent drug-stores, pharmacy chains are functioning perfectly. In supermarkets, department stores, railway stations and airports are always pharmacy departments or kiosks. Also, in every town and district is always located an on duty round-the-clock pharmacy, whose address you can find on the door of any other drugstore. In the UK, drug stores fulfill a lot of related functions. In United Kingdom pharmacies you can even print photos, and, of course, there is a huge arsenal of hair care products, cosmetics and toiletries.
Popular medications such as aspirin, paracetamol and drops from the common cold, you can buy in almost any store, but if you urgently needed complex, potent drugs, you would need a prescription.
But sometimes on your path of life, we are faced with situations when even a trivial visit to the pharmacy becomes an impossible task. Reasons can be extremely varied: physical limitations, time when UK pharmacies are not working, the range of the nearest pharmacy does not satisfy your requirements. Not the least role is played by shame, because some diseases (for example impotence, hemorrhoids or sexually transmitted diseases) not only do not allow us to fully enjoy our lives, but for many patients, are forbidden topics to discuss. In this case would be appropriate to order medicines UK through the Internet.
This method has many advantages. Including non-stop schedule, courier delivery, favorable pricing of most United Kingdom online pharmacies, product range is usually much wider than in classical pharmacies, besides, when ordering anything online you have the opportunity to think over the pros and cons without haste. Another nice moment in such kind of shopping is the lack of queues. Nevertheless, in spite of all temptations, do not engage in self-medication, do not order the drugs that are not necessary for your treatment, or purpose of which you don't know exactly.
Online shopping of medicines in the UK is getting more popular. Our service is able to assist you in finding the best option for you, a United Kingdom pharmacy with the best prices and the fastest delivery time.

Those looking to purchase drugs in the city may not have their callsreturned after a police sting targeted "dial-a-dopers," charging 51people with more than 120 criminal offences.
Those looking to purchase drugs in the city may not have their calls returned after a police sting targeted "dial-a-dopers," charging 51 people with more than 120 criminal offences.
The undercover sting was led by the gang and drag unit of the Edmonton Police Service and was a crackdown on street-level drugs dealers. Police say they are the bottom of the drug hierarchy, but the first point of contact for the majority of drug users in the city.
Police say the project began as a result of community concerns about drug activity across the city, and wasn't focused on specific neighbourhoods.
"There are the traffickers that are in our communities that peddle their trade in front of our residences, in front of our schools and our shopping centres," said Staff Sergeant Greg Preston.
The sting, called Project Geld, began on March 4. Over $14,500 in cash was seized along with 205 grams of cocaine, small amounts of marijuana and meth and six vehicles. Police say the accused range in age from 15 to 44 years old, including three who are under 18.
"We need to ensure that our young people are aware that it's not all glamour that the money that flows from this comes with potentially some very significant consequences," said Sgt. Preston. The charges include 44 counts of trafficking, 18 counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, and 43 counts of possession of the proceeds of crime. Though police believe there are a larger number of "dial-a-dopers" in the city, the project is said to have been a success.

@Blitz3124:
It's pacing, if all the pages that have been finished till now were uploaded all at once we'd probably get completely flooded.
Also hitting "Burnout" is a problem, any comic artist must pace himself so they don't get overwhelmed by the tight deadlines. This happens to alot of people, not just comic artist, The Nostalgia Critic hit it at some point because he had to watch multiple movies, write jokes about them, and create a fully-edited funny video all in a single week.
Pacing is very important as it allows the creator to remain sane and avoid page upload delays, all-the-while keeping the reader hyped waiting for the next page

@ahmad2117: I don't know about that, recently these two pages have seemed kind of dull. And the later he gets the draw them, the more ideas he can think of as he can think of an idea later and then draw rather than draw now. I think that sometimes going later than the pace is ok, because then you can produce a better comic.

Q: Systemd dropping service start options Why is systemd dropping options when using 'service start' ?
Man page of 'service' defines the service command as :

service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]

and states

service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS to the init script unmodified.

Now take this init script for some service named "foo" :
#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
        start)
                echo $2 >> output
        ;;
        someaction)
                echo $2 >> output
        ;;
esac

exit 0

On a system using systemd, after daemon-reload, service foo start bar writes nothing in output file while service foo someaction bar writes "bar" as expected. (Tested on Ubuntu 16.04)
On a system without systemd, both commands write "bar" as expected. (Tested on Mint 17.1)
I would bet stop command does the same.
Why are options dropped when start is called and not other "custom" commands?

A: The service command was designed for SysV init scripts, not systemd. On systemd based systems, the service command may continue to exist as a shim to translated old syntax into new syntax. On Ubuntu 16.04, /usr/sbin/serviceis a bash script, so you you can read the source code and see where it has is_systemd conditional clauses. When looking at the start command on a systemd-based systems, you'll see this:
  systemctl $sctl_args ${ACTION} $unit

In other words, no additional args are passed through in this translation layer.
The replacement for service on systemd-based system is systemctl, with systemctl start your-service-name being used to start a service.
systemd does not support adding custom actions, but you can create custom units easily, so you could then do:
systemctl start myservice-someaction


1. Excited to shop Las Vegas Market tomorrow! It's by my favorite market because, hello… it's a 45 minute flight.
2. We did the electrical walk through on our house this week which might seem boring to most but I was very excited! It also forced me to finally make up my mind about a few lights I've been going back and forth about. I still can't settle on our dining room chandelier though!
3. There is one thing I'm certain of…this great room by Muskoka Living is insanely good! I'm in love with the tone of the ceiling and the design of the island.
4. By now you probably know my love for leopard print runs pretty deep. Shoes, hair ties, skirts, and now this dress that is only $34.99!
This skirt is soooo cute in person. I went up a size.
6. Wore these earrings today! They're a good basic to put in my weekly rotation of tortoise hoops and my favorite studs. I also just ordered of pair of raffia statement earrings which I think will be perfect for our trip to Maui in a few weeks! I love to wear big-A earrings with messy top knots while beaching it.
