Grate the ginger, leaving peel on. In a half pint jar, mix ginger, sugar and water. Loosely top with a lid. Allow to ferment on the counter top for up to a week until the mixture becomes bubbly. Your bug is ready to use, or may be refrigerated for up to a week.
Wash the ginger and lime. Grate ginger with the peel on. Strip the peel from the lime with a peeler, then juice, discarding pith and seeds.
In a saucepan, bring water to a boil and add the grated ginger and lime zest. Simmer on medium low for 15 minutes. Strain and add the sugar to dissolve. Cool to room temperature.
When the mixture is cool, add the entire ginger bug to the ginger liquid, along with the lime juice and place in a glass jar. Top off with water, if needed, until there is 1 inch of headroom in the jar. Cover the jar with cheesecloth fastened with a rubber band or string. Allow the mixture to ferment for about 5-7 days until bubbly.
Once bubbly, strain the mixture through a fine sieve or several layers of cheesecloth, then place in a bail topped bottle or plastic soda bottle to ferment for a few days more at room temperature. Careful not to over carbonate! After a couple days, test it to see if the mixture is bubbly. Once carbonated, refrigerate immediately.
It's best to consume home fermented ginger ale within one to two weeks or it may become mildly alchoholic.


Review: Great trails, lots of work put into them. Descent on the blue trail was great.. a great balance of tech and flow. Definitely in my top 5 for reasonable-distance trails from NYC.
Review: Amazing trail system, well marked and taken care of. Some of the most fun downhill sections I've experienced in the area.
Review: Road here yesterday, really fun. It's still an out and back trail. Use the South Gate Rd entrance. That way you can start with the climb and end with all the long downhill.
Review: Trail is getting longer and should be around 14 miles when done. simply the best trail around with epic long decents.

David Moufang aka Move D's records with partner Jonas Grossmann as Deep Space Network, and his own solo releases as Move D are among the furthest outreaches of techno's push towards the stars. Moufang's debut album, KUNSTSTOFF (1995) was quite remarkable in becoming a legendary German techno recording, and he has also collaborated with none other than Pete Namlook. Listen to his Kunststoff album and you will know. Another unique fusion was suggested by the release of Conjoint (1997). A collaboration between Moufang, jazz veteran Karl Berger, Jamie Hodge (of Born Under A Rhyming Planet) and Gunter "Ruit" Kraus, it was Move D's most overtly jazzed outing so far, but provided spectacular evidence of his growing abilities as a producer and composer. Richard Zepezauer is owner of the label "n s y d e", providing him with his own personal way of keeping this focus alive. The broad range displayed in his DJ sets testifies of his lifelong passion for music and record digging, and his recent cooperation with various renowned 20th century classics ensembles is a testament of Richard Zepezauer's diversity. With over 30 years of combined dancefloor experience, Possible Futures have been witnesses to the wildest fauna and flora the great nocturnal jungle has to offer. Sourcing their inspiration from the many shades of color that co-exist between black and white, it is through the open and eclectic selections of inspired and devoted luminaries that Possible Futures have found their manifold sound. While the minds of Possible Futures float in the air with their bodies rotating behind the turntables, their feet are steadily rooted in reality, enabling their musical knowledge to unfold beyond the night. Through their own record label, Possible Futures share their therapeutic musical blends.

Oghenekaro Etebo scored the only goal in Stoke City's 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.
The 23-year-old's goal in the 14th minute separated both teams at Ewood Park as the visitors leaped to 15th in the Championship standings.
Etebo received a pass from Thomas Ince and fired in a right-footed shot past goalkeeper David Raya from outside of the penalty area.
The former Feirense midfielder is having decent debut campaign in England with commanding displays in the Pottees' midfield and has featured in 28 league matches so far including 23 starts.
After overcoming a run of four consecutive draws with the result, Stoke City will be looking to build on the win when they visit Swansea City on Tuesday.

Le groupe Crit est essentiellement une entreprise de travail temporaire, mais développe également une activité d'assistance aéroportuaire. Elle est cotée à la bourse de Paris.

Historique et activité
En 1962, Claude Guedj fonde un bureau d'études et de calculs pour les entreprises positionnées dans les secteurs de l'électrique, de la mécanique et de l'informatique. L'acronyme CRIT signifie : Centre de Recherches Industrielles et Techniques. La société se diversifie en s'adressant à d'autres secteurs d'activités et auprès de diverses entreprises, mettant ainsi en place un nouveau service de mise à disposition de travailleurs temporaires.
En 1972, parallèlement aux activités de maintenance industrielle, CRIT crée un pôle dédié au travail par intérim. Le groupe est introduit à la Bourse de Paris en 1999. Il se renforce dans le domaine de l'assistance aéroportuaire avec le rachat de CityJet Handling en Irlande.
En 2001, CRIT rachete le leader européen du secteur Groupe Europe Handling et s'empare du numéro quatre français de l'intérim, EURISTT. Une filiale en Suisse est créée, et l'activité est renforcée à l'international notamment en Allemagne et en Espagne, puis aux États-Unis en 2011.
Le PDG fondateur et sa famille possèdent près des 3/4 des parts de l'entreprise, composée d'un réseau de plus de 500 agences dans le monde.
Le groupe Crit est désormais n°1 de l'assistance aéroportuaire en France et figure dans le Top 10 mondial du secteur.

LOVE and politics do not normally mix.
But Polly James was shortlisted for the Orwell Prize when she combined the two in her first book, Diary of an Unsmug Married.
The story was based on a blog called Mid-Wife Crisis that the former Penketh resident wrote under the pseudonym of Molly Bennett.
It is about a married mum-of-two who works for an MP and is going through a bad patch with her husband when an old school friend starts flirting with her through Facebook.
But it also echoed Polly's real life as she used to be a caseworker for two MPs.
Polly, who lived in Highfield Avenue, said: "The funny thing was all the MPs following it became more obsessed with the love story than they were about the politics.
"I think it put the humanity back into politics. Nobody had written about politics from that angle before.
"People have written insider accounts but it has always been from the glamour of the House of Commons.
"This was ordinary people with the job of working in the constituency and seeing real life and how politics affects ordinary people.
"About 95 per cent was based on real things that happened to me or colleagues over the years.
"Within a couple of months of starting the blog just about every political journalist in the country was trying to work out who Molly was."
But when Polly was nominated for an Orwell Prize in 2011 she had a dilemma as her double life was about to be rumbled.
"The worst thing was I couldn't even go to the award ceremony because I was writing under the pseudonym of Molly Bennett," added Polly, whose stepdad David trained at Warrington Art College.
"I didn't want to draw any attention to my previous MP bosses and I still don't name them.
"It was weird because you're stuck at home writing this blog and this whole life is going on around you that you're totally detached from.
"Sometimes it didn't feel like it was me so it was totally peculiar."
It was a book deal with HarperCollins which convinced Polly to go public as the brains behind Molly.
The 56-year-old has not looked back since with her new novel, Would Like To Meet, out this month.
It is about Hannah Pinkman, who seeks to make a new life for herself when her marriage reaches the end of the line.
Polly said: "I've been interested in reading stuff about online dating for a while because a lot of my friends have been doing it.
"It seems to be that you hit your 50s and end up splitting up, probably once the children have gone. You suddenly realise nothing is holding you together apart from them.
"I was mulling around ideas for a while trying to find an angle on it. Then I suddenly found a forum where loads of women were talking about how horrific it was when they spotted their exes on social media.
"That gave me the way in. That is something that wouldn't have happened to my parents' generation.
"Back then when you split up from somebody – unless you had children with them – they would disappear into ether and you wouldn't have to think about them anymore.
"Now everybody's lives are lived so publicly so there is probably no getting away from it. That has got to make the whole thing more traumatic and weirder and so the idea came from that.
"I was also trying to think about how it would feel for my friends. When you've been married a long time your whole lives become enmeshed."
But with two stories about women becoming less than enamoured with their husbands, is Polly's husband Mark beginning to get a chip on his shoulder?
Polly added: "My husband is incredibly helpful when I'm writing books. I'll often ask him questions for a male perspective. He gets to know the characters and live in them basically.
"However when my first book came out he read the first three chapters and couldn't read anymore. He said: 'People are going to think it's me'.
"I'm pretty sure he won't be able to read this one either. The funny thing is that although he was so paranoid he's the one that tells everybody this story and points out any likenesses..."

Q: WPF/Metro-style: Making ListView show only complete items In my Metro application, I have a data source containing a certain number of items (say 25). I have a ListView that presents those items. My problem is that the ListView have a size that allows it to display, say, 6.5 items, so that the last item it displays is cut in half. If the resolution changes, it might display 4 items, or 8.2 items, or whatever. What I'd like is that the ListView shows exactly the number of items that fits in the height of the control, instead of clipping the last item.
Right now, I see two possible half-solutions, none of which is optimal:

*

*Set the height of the ListView to a fixed height that is a multiple of the item size. This does not scale with changes in resolution.

*Limit the number of items in the data source. This does not scale either.
So my question is, how can I get the ListView to only display complete items (items where all edges are inside the viewport/listview), and hide the rest?

A: ListView inherits from ItemsControl,
so one more optimized solution consists in injecting custom panel (overriding measure by custom clipping display) in ItemsPanel
something like this(sorry, i did not try to compile):
protected override Size MeasureOverride(Size constraint)
{
 if (this.VisualChildrenCount <= 0)
  return base.MeasureOverride(constraint);
 var size = ne Size(constraint.Width,0);
 for(int i = 0; i < this.visualChildrenCount; i++)
 {
  child.Measure(size);
  if(size.height + child.desiredSize > constraint.height)
   break;
  size.Height += child.DesiredSize;
 }
 return size;
}

A: My final solution was to combine the suggestions of @NovitchiS and @JesuX.
I created a stack panel override, and listened to the LayoutUpdated event. My final solution:
class HeightLimitedStackPanel : StackPanel
{
    public HeightLimitedStackPanel() : base()
    {
        this.LayoutUpdated += OnLayoutUpdated;
    }

    double GetSizeOfVisibleChildren(double parentHeight)
    {
        double currentSize = 0;
        bool hasBreaked = false;
        for (int i = 0; i < Children.Count; i++)
        {
            var child = Children[i];
            if (currentSize + child.DesiredSize.Height > parentHeight)
            {
                hasBreaked = true;
                break;
            }
            currentSize += child.DesiredSize.Height;
        }
        if (hasBreaked) return currentSize;

        return parentHeight;
    }

    double ParentHeight
    {
        get
        {
            ItemsPresenter parent = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(this) as ItemsPresenter;
            if (parent == null)
                return 0;

            return parent.ActualHeight;
        }
    }

    double previousHeight = 0;
    int previousChildCount = 0;
    protected void OnLayoutUpdated(object sender, object e)
    {
        double height = ParentHeight;
        if (height == previousHeight && previousChildCount == Children.Count) return;
        previousHeight = height;
        previousChildCount = Children.Count;

        this.Height = GetSizeOfVisibleChildren(height);
    }
}

A: The answer from @JesuX is the better approach -- if done correctly. The following ListView subclass works fine for me:
public sealed class IntegralItemsListView : ListView
{
    protected override Size MeasureOverride(Size availableSize)
    {
        Size size = base.MeasureOverride(availableSize);
        double height = 0;
        if (Items != null)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < Items.Count; ++i)
            {
                UIElement itemContainer = (UIElement)ContainerFromIndex(i);
                if (itemContainer == null)
                {
                    break;
                }

                itemContainer.Measure(availableSize);
                double childHeight = itemContainer.DesiredSize.Height;
                if (height + childHeight > size.Height)
                {
                    break;
                }

                height += childHeight;
            }
        }

        size.Height = height;
        return size;
    }
}

One caveat -- if you plop an IntegralItemsListView into a Grid, it will have
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"

by default, which defeats the purpose of this class.
Also: If the items are of uniform height, the method can obviously be simplified:
protected override Size MeasureOverride(Size availableSize)
{
    Size size = base.MeasureOverride(availableSize);
    size.Height = (int)(size.Height / ItemHeight) * ItemHeight;
    return size;
}

I have closed WWD GAMES Arcade until I can find the cause of problems and fix it.
I have reached the point where I think WWD GAMES has too many mismatched php version files to be fixed. I've spent hour upon hour trying to find a solution and every time one thing is solved it created another problem.
I may have to close the site permanently if this isn't resolved soon.
Chery how sad after years of great games. I am very sad indeed at the thought of it closing I love my daily fix of WWD.... other sites including Facebook are not even on a par with WWD.... wish I could do more for you. I know you are so busy as well.... thanks for doing so much for us. Please please keep going, I am not even bothered about the cups as you know I just love playing the games.
We have been so blessed to have had such a wonderful game site. There have been many times that I've used the site as a way to escape or cope. Nothing like losing yourself in the WWD game site to help you forget that your new boss is "not ideal" or to forget any of the other little daily bothers.
I don't think any of us can even begin to imagine the time and effort that Chery put forth into building and maintaining a site like this. I, for one, am just truly, truly grateful. Thank you Chery, so much for EVERYTHING you have done and for all the time and hard work you've put into this site.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this site doesn't need to close permanently. I'm sure that time is the biggest issue... and I can't do anything about that... BUT if it would help at all for me to extend my "supporter" status, just say the word!
for now I am only playing games that I have won or others I have no chance of winning.... it would not be fair to try and take a game off someone when they cannot play.
Over the next few days there will be a number of updates applied to the wad-games site to try and resolve the problems which started some weeks back. I have done some research as to why we are having problems and found a few very helpful tips. It looks like there will be a series of updates applied over a period of perhaps 4 days. During that time if you find you cannot access, it is because we are in the middle of one of those upgrades. Hopefully there will only be brief periods of downtime. If you find any problems please report them. I will try to update this thread as each update is applied. John.

Recycling deal means revenue for St. Lucie
Written by: George Andreassi December 06 2019
St. Lucie County could earn modest amounts of revenue by taking in 20,000 tons per year of recyclable materials from Indian River County.
Both county commissions approved a 6-year agreement last month for St. Lucie County to process Indian River County's recycling materials at its solid waste facility at 6120 Glades Cut-off Road, Fort Pierce.
St. Lucie has agreed to split the proceeds of the sales of the recyclable materials 50-50 with Indian River, after charging an administrative fee, records show.
But Indian River won't pay any fees to St. Lucie County, records show. St. Lucie will only collect a fee when the average market value of a recyclable material exceeds the fee amount. The fee is $75 per ton for single-stream recyclables – such as newspapers, bottles and cans – and $10 per ton for old corrugated cardboard, records show.
The corrugated cardboard may generate a small amount of income for the two counties, records show.
But the average market value of single-stream recyclables is not expected to exceed $75 per ton.
"At this time, recycling has a very small profit margin over operating costs," said Rebecca Olson, St. Lucie County Utilities marketing and quality control coordinator.
"That being said, this is a huge win for both counties and our local environment," Olson said. "Accepting Indian River County's recyclables ensures those materials stay out of the landfills, extending landfill life in both counties."
Indian River's only expense will for trucking almost 20,000 tons of recyclable materials per year to St. Lucie's facility, records show. That's expected to cost nearly $300,000. The contract between Indian River and St. Lucie will automatically renew for an additional 5-year term, records show. Either county may terminate the agreement without cause by providing 180 days prior notice.
Indian River's Solid Waste Disposal District started sending recyclable materials to St. Lucie's facility on Aug. 21 after a storm on Aug. 12 damaged the roof at Tropical Recycling, 1450 Bell Ave., Fort Pierce.
Tropical Recycling initially indicted it would be unable to process and transfer recyclables for at least four weeks, records show. But Fort Pierce condemned the building on Oct. 9, leaving the company unable to resume operations.
Indian River had been doing business with Tropical Recycling since July 2015, records show.
Their contract was set to expire Aug. 31, 2020, but was terminated on Nov. 19 by mutual agreement.

Man Booker Prize Shortlist Features George Saunders, Mohsin Hamid And Ali Smith
Published September 13, 2017 at 10:41 AM EDT
The 2017 Man Booker nominees are Paul Auster's 4 3 2 1, Fiona Mozley's Elmet, Ali Smith's Autumn, Emily Fridlund's History of Wolves, George Saunders' Lincoln in the Bardo, and Mohsin Hamid's Exit West.
The Man Booker Prize rolled out its 2017 shortlist on Wednesday, delivering a list of six nominees showcasing a hefty dose of literary heavyweights and a pair of newcomers. Of the six novels on the list, just one will go on to win this year's prestigious literary prize at gala ceremony next month in London.
Readers won't have too hard a time recognizing several nominees. Ali Smith, for one, has now made the Man Booker shortlist four times in less than two decades, this time for Autumn. Paul Auster, for another, has racked up his fair share of recognition during a prolific career that includes the seminal New York Trilogy. His 880-page opus 4 3 2 1 has earned a nod from Man Booker judges.
And while the shortlisted Lincoln in the Bardo might be George Saunders' first novel, it's far from his first work. His short fiction has previously earned him the Folio Prize, a MacArthur "genius grant" and a spot on the shortlist for the National Book Award.
Mohsin Hamid, nominated for Exit West, is no stranger to the Man Booker shortlist himself, having already earned a 2007 nod for The Reluctant Fundamentalist.
So far, few surprises — but the shortlist announced Wednesday did showcase some fresh faces. Fiona Mozley, a 29-year-old doctoral candidate in medieval history, made the list with Elmet, her debut novel. In fact, she didn't even "want to expect it to be published," she tells The Standard in the U.K. "I thought if I didn't tell my friends I was writing it, I'd be more likely to finish. So I just got on with it."
Mozley is not the only debut novelist. Emily Fridlund's History of Wolves — which "is as beautiful and as icy as the Minnesota woods where it's set," NPR's review writes — rounds out the 2017 shortlist.
"Playful, sincere, unsettling, fierce: here is a group of novels grown from tradition but also radical and contemporary," judge Baroness Lola Young says in a statement. "The emotional, cultural, political and intellectual range of these books is remarkable, and the ways in which they challenge our thinking is a testament to the power of literature."
Below, find the full shortlist, linked to NPR's reviews of the works and interviews with their authors, where possible.

Emily Fridlund, History of Wolves
Mohsin Hamid, Exit West

Your first lesson is presented in the form of a playground. Dragon1 automatically instantiates a template visualization for you in the Visual Designer. Login, go to the Visual Designer, click on Open a Cabinet and click on Playground.
Dragon1 lets you play and interact with the Visual Designer directly and you will see the result immediately. Playgrounds (automatically generated visualizations) are great for learning, experimenting and increasing your productivity. This one helps you to get up to speed on fundamental Dragon1 concepts.
If it is right you are now in the Playground. If you are logged in you will be forwarded directly to the Visual Designer, it will open an example cabinet.
The starting place on Dragon1 to work from is the Digital Workplace. You can go to the workplace by clicking on the monitor icon. You will find that button in the topmenu bar at the right top of your browser screen.
If you are visiting the Playground (started up the Visual Designer and open the Dragon1 Examples cabinet), you see in the expanded Dossier Playground a few folders.
There are a couple of things you can do now: select a folder, expand a folder or collapse a folder.
Selecting a folder means: clicking on the folder name so it gets selected and Dragon1 shows the contents of the folder.
Expanding a folder means: clicking on the plus sign in front of the folder name. Only if it has child items it will have a plus sign. If you expand the folder you will see what is in it. If you click on a visualization you will the see the visualization (in Edit Mode, this is explained later on).
Collapsing a folder means: clicking on the minus sign to close a folder.
Now select the visualization 'Basic Diagram Example', so we can explore some of the features of the Visual Designer.
If you have selected the visualization 'Basic Diagram Example', you see a couple of shapes on the canvas. You can change this visualization and print it (or save it as pdf).
Note: You cannot save the visualization, because you are not the creator. If you try however to save this visualization, you will see an alert box stating the visualization cannot be saved by you. The reason that you can access visualizations that were not created by you, is because these visualizations have been given publication status 'Published World Wide' by their creators.
At the left bottom of your browser screen you see some shapes in a panel. You can 'drag' shapes from the panel to the canvas. Do this by clicking (mouse down) on a shape and dragging it to the canvas and then let go of the mouse button (mouse up). You will see the shape is added on the visualization. Also the visualization is saved automatically right away. Wait for the alert box to appear stating that the visualization is saved. Or in this case on the Playground, it states that the visualization cannot be saved.
Next to dragging you can also insert shapes via the buttonbar at the top of the screen. In the screenshot below you see how we have selected the shape 'Application' in the 'Draw Entity' dropdown menubar. By clicking on the button, the shape is inserted on the Drawing Canvas of the visualization.
In the example you see we have dragged a rounded rectangle 'Rect' onto the canvas. Now select 'Rect' by clicking on it. You will see smart tools appear around the selected shape.
In the screenshot below you see how the pair of scissors icon appears when a shape is selected AND the shape has one or more connections to other shapes.
In the Inspector at the right handside you'll see a panel called 'Shape Attributes'. If you click on the word 'Shape Attributes', it will expand or collapse.
If you select the shape and click on locked, the shape freezes. You can not (accidently) change its position.
Every shape has an internal name and an external title. The name of a shape is shown in the Explorer Treeview and can be used to refer to a shape. The title of a shape is by default shown at the bottom of a shape, but can also be positioned elsewhere.
3. Move this panel to the top, if its not already, by clicking on the list icon.
Now you see the title of the shape on the canvas has changed. Be sure to save the visualization by clicking on 'Save Visualization' in the menubar. If you are the creator of this visualization an alert will be shown stating this its done.
Expand the Inspector Shape Attributes and type in a new value for the Width and Height of the shape.
In the Shape Attributes of the Inspector panel you see the option of preserveAspectRatio. If you select the shape and check this option, on resize the shape will maintain its current aspect ratio.
If the color of the shape does not change automatically after using the Color Picker, goto the color selection field in the Inspector and press TAB, while having the shape selected. Now the color should be changed.
To duplicate a shape use the [+] from the smarttools around a shape when it is selected.
To zoom in or zoom out, use your mouse wheel. On saving the visualization, model and view remember the zoom factor.
Click again on the 'Drawing Context' link to return to the default screen setup.
Here is a link to an example Maximized Canvas in the Visual Designer.
You can rotate a shape by making use of the rotation smart tool (the first tool on the bar) or by using the red dot at the left top of a shape, once it is selected.
Wait for the alert box to appear stating that your visualization is saved.
Note: if you are not the creator of the visualization and the publication status of the visualization is unpublished, you cannot save changes. Let the creator switch the visualization to published private if you need to work together on it.
To lock a visualization, select the Locked is YES value on the information TAB in het New Edit Dialog.
Is Printing Size of Shapes incorrect?
If the size of your shapes is incorrect in the print view, this is because the size of your page is not configured correctly. To solve this problem, change the size of your Page back and forth in the Inspector and save your model, view or visualization.

This may be the GoPro Karma drone
GoPro's first drone will hit before the end of 2016 -- and this may well be what it looks like.
John Falcone
This is what the upcoming GoPro Karma drone looks like, according to self-proclaimed "GoPro addict" Konrad Iturbe.
The teenaged Madrid resident tweeted the photo earlier this week, snagging it from the GoPro subreddit where it had been posted earlier. The original post and the user were subsequently deleted, Iturbe told CNET in an email exchange.
As Mashable's Raymond Wong points out in his earlier coverage, the drone bears a strong resemblance to one featured in the teaser for the animated movie "The Secret Life of Pets," which is heavy with GoPro product placement.
GoPro did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the image. And we ultimately won't know what its first drone looks like before it's officially unveiled. But -- assuming the image is reasonably accurate -- here are a few conclusions we can draw from it:
The camera in the photo is a Hero4-era model, so we'd hope that compatibility with GoPro's upcoming Hero5 would be enabled via a swappable mount.
It looks like the camera is being held by a 3-axis motorized gimbal. That, and the front positioning, would be good because the legs or propellers would not be in the shot.
GoPro CEO Nick Woodman reaffirmed earlier this week that Karma drone will be available before the end of year. The company has already released footage from the drone (below), which would cost around $2,000 (based on GoPro's earlier sweepstakes disclosure).

The Presets – If I know you (album: Apocalypso 2009)
This song is by the awesome Aussie band The Presets. This is one of the most amazing albums I have ever listened to. I couldn't find even one song that I didn't like in this album!!! 3 years ago they were playing at Bondi Beach for New Year's Eve Party. I went with my hubby and a friend and we had such a great time. One of the best parties I've ever been to.
When I first heard the lyrics of this song I thought it's a bit weird since it's a guy's voice singing about a breakup from another guy, then I realize they wanted to write it from a woman perspective but it's just a man's voice singing it. It's quite an angry song and only a man's voice can really express this anger, a woman's voice would be too soft and it would be just another breakup song. Quite artistic! It's a song for all liars and cheaters out there that think they can get away with everything. you are wrong and so stupid!
Link to the song: If I Know You The Presets
The video was awarded best dance video at the 2009 UK Music Video Awards:
Lyrics: If I Know You Lyrics
Discussing the lyrics, singer Julian Hamilton told Rolling Stone Australia: "It's a break up song but I didn't want it to be a guy pissed off at a girl because that always sounds so wimpy. I thought it'd be cool to write it from a girl's perspective. The lyrics came out a bit weird and we thought maybe we could flog this off to a girl singer, but then I thought no, this song needs to be sung with balls!"(Wikipedia – If I know you)

What a First Win Could Mean for the Falcons
Gabby Smith
This past week was not a good one for Georgia sports. With all of the constant disappointments faced, one team in particular decided to surprise everyone and make a needed change and secure their first win of the season. That team was none other than….the Atlanta Falcons.
The Falcons were able to finally win their first game of the season against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday where they finished with a score of 40-23. It is quite convenient that the team was able to lock in their first win after gaining a whole new staff of coaches and coordinators. So far this has proven to be a smart call on owner Arthur Blank's part, but now the real question is, can the team continue their success throughout the rest of the season?
The Falcons' offense made huge improvements this game, even despite playing against a team that had just shut out one of the top offenses in the NFL with seven third-down tries when they played the Seattle Seahawks the previous week. Nonetheless, the offense had no problem moving against the Vikings and were able to convert nine of 17 third-downs as well as went three of three on fourth downs, which is something they had previously struggled with earlier on in the season. These improvements came from improved play calling, made by new offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter, on early downs that allowed them to get into a very manageable position on those third downs.
Not only did their offense take a positive turn, but their defense also improved as they were able to prevent the Vikings from scoring up until the third quarter. They were able to convert three turnovers off of interceptions thrown by Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins, one being in the very first play of the quarter made by Falcons linebacker Deion Jones. A.J. Terrell gained his first career pick in the second quarter off of yet another turnover made by the Vikings. The third pick of the first half was made by Falcons linebacker Foyesade Oluokun as a deflection catch that came from a quarterback sack thanks to defensive pressure up front by Falcons defensive tackle Jacob Tuioti-Mariner.
With help from the new defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich and new interim head coach Raheem Morris the Falcons defense was able to hold the Vikings as they were only able to convert three of their 10 third-down attempts. The Falcons were also able to stop the Vikings' run where they only allowed them 32 rushing yards.
The return of Falcons wide-receiver Julio Jones after missing a majority of the last three games due to a hamstring injury sparked an improved game from quarterback Matt Ryan where he was able to complete 30-of-40 passes for 371 yards and four touchdowns. Not only did Ryan's game improve, but Jones was able to secure his first touchdown catches of 2020 starting with a Falcons opening drive with a 20 yard score on the third and 11 conversion. The second one was late in the third quarter where he converted a fourth and three for an impressive 40-yard touchdown.
The Falcons have continuously struggled with and have previously been dominated by the Vikings in past seasons where they lost four years straight dating back to 2014. They were only averaging 15 points per game during those losses, so to be able to come back this season and not only win, but take a 17 point lead is a true testament to Morris's coaching skills so far. The Falcons are not fully repaired yet, but this first win after a new and improved staff shows a lot of promise for the remainder of their season as well as potential permanent positions for the coaches and coordinators.

Introducing the Best Mobile Drupal Theme -- a fully responsive Drupal theme for all devices that uses the popular Skeleton responsive framework. Our first mobile theme, GoMobile, was a huge success! So, we've wrapped up building another awesome mobile theme for Drupal that has tons of cool options.
The Best Mobile theme has some really nice features, including light and dark color schemes, 3 different home page layouts (slider regions), fully editable, hover-over blocks for quick editing of content/info. blocks, left or right sidebar placement option for blog/article pages, and 4 different portfolio layout options. Did we forget to mention this theme is fully mobile and fits all mobile devices -- whether that be an iPad, iPhone, Android phone, or other mobile device. The Skeleton framework is one of the most popular responsive frameworks used for responsive design. Read more about the Skeleton responsive framework. This theme was originally designed by Kubasto.
Note: Our themes are updated about once every two months. Since we update our themes regularly you can be sure you get as close to the latest stable releases of Drupal core and the modules used in our themes. Note: We often do not update our themes with "Beta" or "Dev" module releases, as these change more frequently, are not as stable, and sometimes cause errors and other site issues.
IMPORTANT: The Best Mobile Drupal theme comes with an installation profile which installs the theme using the MySQL database and website information that you see in the demo of this theme. This means the theme needs to be installed on a new MySQL database and as a fresh Drupal installation unless you want to attempt to migrate the theme into your existing website (not supported by ThemeSnap.com). Read the easy setup instructions for the Best Mobile theme using the included profile installation. Please read our Terms of Service before purchasing this product. It's understood that you are agreeing to these terms if you choose to purchase and use this theme.

To investigate the application of fetal cardiovascular cast in the demonstration of aorta and/or aortic branching anomalies.
From January to June 2015, 18 cases with aorta and/or aortic branching anomalies diagnosed by fetal echocardiography were terminated upon parental requests. Fetal cardiovascular cast models were made by the method of corrosion casting technique. The casting material was injected into the specimen via umbilical vein. Then the adhesion tissue was dissolved by strong acid after the casting fluid was solidified, in order to demonstrate the real geometries. The origin, course, diameter, branching of aorta and aortic valve anomalies were carefully observed and analyzed.
A total of 18 fetuses prenatally diagnosed with aorta and/or aortic branching anomalies were enrolled in this study (18.2 to 34.7 gestational weeks), and all specimens were successfully made into cast models. Twenty-nine abnormalities in aorta and/or aortic branching were demonstrated by these casts, including: aortic origin anomalies in 9 cases (double outlet right ventricle 8/9, transposition of great arteries 1/9), aortic valve anomalies in 2 cases (aortic valve atresia 1/2, aortic valve stenosis 1/2), aortic diameter anomalies in 5 cases (dilation of aorta 2/5, coarctation of aorta 3/5), aortic course anomalies in 4 cases (right aortic arch 2/4, interrupted aortic arch 2/4) and aortic branching anomalies in 9 cases (aortic mirror image branching 2/9, aberrant right subclavian artery 1/9, common trunk of right brachiocephalic artery and left common carotid artery 4/9, left vertebral artery anomalously originated from aortic arch 2/9).
The fetal cardiovascular cast is capable of demonstrating aorta and aortic branching anomalies clearly and objectively. It will help us to understand the spatial relationship of aorta and its major branches, and to provide valuable information for prenatal diagnosis.

Because an accident can happen quickly, giving little time for a response, it is necessary for drivers to remain vigilant at all times. Even a single moment of inattention can cause a car accident that could have devastating consequences. For example, police are still investigating a crash in Wisconsin that resulted in the death of a teenager.

Because many people in Wisconsin spend a great deal of their time behind the wheel of a vehicle, some drivers may take the act of driving for granted. It is so commonplace, many overlook the potential harm they could cause if they do not remain vigilant and focused on the task at hand at all times. Unfortunately, one family has experienced firsthand the harm that an accident can cause after they lost a family member in a fatal car crash.
Are bicyclists safe in Wisconsin?

Bicycling is a great mode of transportation when the weather is warm and the roads are clear. Some cyclists are passionate enough to affix fat tires to their bikes and ride during the winter months.

A driver likely makes hundreds of decisions while navigating Wisconsin roadways. Many of these decisions are relatively unimportant, but others may have life-or-death consequences for both the individual and those he or she may encounter. In fact, police believe that a driver's failure to yield the right-of-way resulted in a fatal accident.

Many drivers likely think little of briefly crossing a fog or dividing line in a roadway. Unfortunately, something that may seem insignificant can ultimately have serious consequences, including resulting in motor vehicle accidents. In fact, states like Wisconsin have created Move Over Laws that require drivers to slow down or change lanes when they come across maintenance or emergency vehicles with flashing lights. Unfortunately, a recent accident demonstrates the harm that failing to do so could create.

Bicycle commuting is becoming increasingly popular in the United States. Not only is riding a bike good for your health, it is also good for the environment. According to Statista, the number of bicyclists has increased dramatically in recent years, from 51 million bike riders in 2012 to more than 66 million bike riders in 2017.

Jihad vs McWorld
Jihad vs. McWorld is the title of a 1995 book by political scientist Benjamin R. Barber, in which he puts forth a theory that describes the struggle between "McWorld" (globalization and the corporate control of the political process) and "Jihad" (tradition and traditional values, often in the form of extreme nationalism or religious orthodoxy and theocracy).
The book was based on a March 1992 article first published in the Atlantic Monthly.[1] The book employs the basic critique of neoliberalism seen in Barber's earlier, seminal work Strong Democracy. As economic liberalism — not to be confused with political liberalism as it is defined in the United States — is the force behind globalization, this critique is relevant on a much larger scale. Unregulated market forces encounter parochial (tribal) forces. These tribal forces come in many varieties: religious, cultural, ethnic, regional, local, etc. As globalization imposes a culture of its own on a population, the tribal forces feel threatened and react. More than just economic, the crises that arise from these confrontations often take on a sacred quality to the tribal elements; thus Barber's use of the term "Jihad" (although in the 2nd edition, he expresses regret at having used this term).
Barber's prognosis in his 1995 book, Jihad vs McWorld: How Globalism and Tribalism Are Reshaping the World, is generally negative — he concludes that neither global corporations nor traditional cultures are supportive of democracy. He further posits that "McWorld" could ultimately win the "struggle." He also proposes a model for small, local democratic institutions and civic engagement as the hope for an alternative to these two forces.
The term "McWorld" is a neologism related to George Ritzer's analysis of corporate culture in The McDonaldization of Society.

I like your quote and it's very true. Like I believe in many things moments are what make up your life so make the moments as positive as you can. Love yourself and others will as well. Positive attracts the like and so does negative. Like fireflies those that emit light attracts others that do as well.

a random feast… i must say… started from Filipino national fish called bangus
fried milkfish (daing na bangus), some vegetables (mushroom, laing, etc), green salad with bits of yellow mangoes, chicken adobo, cured pork (tocino), and some vietnamese snacks plus maldivian dessert (much like leche flan).
