The Vitamix blender of early 70s was the first consumer blender that featured a big and powerful electric motor with a special blade design that was capable of mixing and grinding that was unheard of before in a regular blender. Vitamix revolutionized the blender industry, and they have never looked back. The all new Vitamix G-Series 780 Black Home Blender with Touchscreen Control Panel takes the brand to the next level and that's why there's a lot of buzz surrounding it.
While all previous models feature manual controls like dial knobs and switches, the Vitamix 780 comes with a glossy black all glass touchscreen panel. This means a few benefits, which we'll get to later on in this review, but before we go any further, you should know that this is now the most expensive Vitamix for home use available now. Is it worth the extra money? That's what we're going to find out.
Before this model was released we listed 5 different Vitamix models that we thought were the best picks for home use and we explained why. If you think that the new 780 is not affordable to you, check those out instead. The 750 model comes closest to this one, except that the 780 has a touchscreen panel, is easier to clean and is a touch quieter.
There are a couple of online stores that you can buy the Vitamix 780 from. One is Amazon and another is Sur La Table.
Most blenders were rated by wattage, but Vitamix blenders are rated by horsepower and amperage. The 2.2 horsepower 12 amp Vitamix 780 is a beast and has 4 inch diameter sharp laser-cut stainless-steel blades for crushing and cutting, which makes it capable of actually making nut butters and kneading dough. Try that with a run of the mill blender, and you'll burn it out. But not a Vitamix. It was made for that kind of abuse, and it will take all that you can give, and then some.
When it comes to making smoothies, you will not find even a hint of graininess is the final drink. Veggie smoothies won't have bits of leafy greens show through and berry smoothies won't have any trace of seeds left. The high speed friction blending will cook raw veggies as it blends to make hot soup in a jiffy.
The 780 is a Next Generation low profile blender that comes with a full 64 ounce capacity pitcher, which can hold a full 2 liters worth of smoothies. The base has no buttons or dials, just a hardened glass touch screen to activate the many functions.
This base is compatible with all the other Vitamix jars, so for example, if you already have a 32 ounce dry jar from an older model you can use that with this model too. We recommended buying the dry jar if you don't have one because that means you can grind grains to make things like bread from scratch. Once you've ground the grains you can switch to the 64 ounce wet jar to make bread dough. You won't even need to knead the dough this way! The smaller jar is also best for blending smaller portions, salad dressings and sauces.
The base may seem a bit spartan compared to some, but the basic functions like pulse and 5 presets for smoothies, hot soup, purees, frozen dessert and even a self cleaning setting are provided as well. Just tap the icon on the screen, and go. You also get a responsive speed adjustment control that you can change by either tapping next to a speed number or by sliding a finger up and down. It will work just as well even if your finger is wet, oily or sticky! Each selection lights up through the LED screen. A start and stop touch button is right in the middle and the manual on and off safety switch is on the right side.
Another remarkable feature of the Vitamix 780 blender is the fact that you'll rarely have to use the included tamper because the force from the blades pull down and creates a very effective vortex that sweeps up all the ingredients. If things like nut butters require the use of the tamper, you can use it without stopping the run because it has a collar that allows you to insert it through the opening on the lid without letting drop down onto the blades.
The power cord is 6 feet long so you can set the blender almost anywhere to use it. It stores away neatly underneath the base in its own spool and it's easy to wind and unwind it as necessary.
When you're done using the blender, cleanup is the easiest of all the other models because of the absence of switches and dials. Just wipe the panel clean with a damp sponge or cloth. To clean the pitcher, fill it halfway up with water and a couple drops of dishwashing liquid and let it run on the "cleaning" preset for about 60 seconds.
With so much power, this blender can become a food processor, a stand mixer, an amazing smoothie maker and it will even clean itself.
Easy to use touch screen with well marked settings.
Tough stainless steel blades that will chop ice and knead dough with the best of them.
A big inner cooling fan so that it never runs hot, and that makes for durability.
Made in America quality that can't be beat.
Comes with a very good recipe booklet.
This is a very expensive blender. Lesser blenders at one-third of the price are capable of getting close to what a Vitamix does if you're OK with tending to the process a bit more and don't mind a bit of graininess in your smoothie.
To make power it uses 12 amps. Make sure this unit gets plugged into its own separate outlet or you will be blowing breakers if any other appliance is turned on.
Make no mistake about it, the Vitamix 780 is an exceptionally fine blender. It will work just as well on your kitchen counter as it will residing on your home bar, and for grinding ice or making vegetable smoothies, there are few that can do it better.
Although this is considered one of the best of the best blenders available, featuring built in the U.S. quality and durability, for most homes this can be serious excess if you only use it for blending jobs. If you're going to use this as an all in one blender and food processor, then go for it. Otherwise get one of these combo appliances.
The question truly becomes whether you need this or just want this. If you are seriously into chopping or grinding up ice for smoothies, love to make home-made nut butters and pizza and/or bread dough in a blender instead of a food processor, then this unit is certainly something to consider.
Doughs are a bit more labor intensive in a blender than a mixer, but they can be done relatively easy and effectively in the Vitamix 780.
However, if you are making smoothies with little or no ice or more hard to process vegetables, if you are blending bar drinks, making shakes or malts, or using a blender primarily to mix liquids, you may want to consider a lesser priced blender that will do the job just fine. We have reviewed some of the best here.


I was excited when Fallon and Greg contacted me about filming their wedding in September. My schedule is almost full during the summer months so to have the date available for them late in the game was awesome. Also their wedding ceremony was at my home church TPCC! The sanctuary and stage was a very cool backdrop for their ceremony. The day started off with the ladies and Greg getting ready at Traders Point Church in Whitestown, Ind. Then the reception was held at the Woodland Country Club in Carmel, Ind. Fallon and Greg were a great to work with and made us feel very welcome at their event. Our best to them!

It seems almost obvious that Scotland would have its own landscape photography competition. With a country so rich in breathtaking landscapes and incredible scenes, it really is a photographer's paradise. It's with good reason that photographers will drive (and often fly) for miles just to observe the generous display of rolling hills, expansive lochs and incredible mountains. In fact, the country almost seems to be a rite of passage for any budding landscape photographer.
Back in 2014, the first Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year competition was launched and it immediately saw a plethora of entries from people keen to show off their skills and demonstrate what Scotland has to offer. It's a competition that's likely to go from strength to strength, so keep an eye on its website for details of the 2016 competition.
Over the next few pages we'll take a look at some of our favourite images from the 2015 competition. If you'd like to see the full gallery visit www.slpoty.co.uk.
'On this evening, a perfectly still River Clyde provided perfect conditions to capture reflections of the Clyde Arc bridge,' says Nick Hanson, who took the Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year runner-up position behind Ian Cameron.
Not only did Chris Stuart achieve a highly commended award for this image, but he also bagged the Calumet Choice Award. Chris said it took 'over two hours walking through darkness, into the heart of the Cairngorm mountains,' to get to this viewpoint. 'Eventually the sun rose and lit up the rocks and water in the burn tumbling down to Loch Avon.' It was a situation that made him feel 'privileged and alive'.
The winner of the Youth category in the 2015 SLPOTY competition was 15-year-old Lewis Donaldson. Here we see Lewis perfectly capture a steam train on its return to the newly opened Borders Railway, which stretches for 30 miles across Scotland. Lewis first became interested in photography when he was 10, but it wasn't until he was 13 that he got his first DSLR. He photographs his local area, as well as his school and family.
This is the kind of shot that reminds you there is beauty everywhere you look, particularly when doing nothing more than walking through familiar streets. Graeme McCormack was awarded a highly commended prize for this shot of a Victorian tenement in Govanhill, Glasgow, reflected in a puddle after a rainy autumn day.
This shot by Camillo Berenos was highly commended in the Portfolio category. 'A frozen lochan lies in front of the snow-covered Stob Coire Raineach, a peak on the Buachaille Etive Beag ridge, partly obscured by low-hanging clouds,' says Camillo.


Don't Be Afraid to Downsize!
We all have to think about our retirement! – By moving to a smaller, less expensive home you may be able to invest more into your retirement account. If you are still working and start saving let's say $500 a month, in the next 30 years you could have over a million dollars in the bank. Depending on the type of investment, the amount might be as high as $1.6 million.
Reduce your monthly payments! – Use the money you get from the sale of your home to pay cash for a smaller one. Imagine your life without a mortgage to pay every month!
Get rid of debt! – You may be struggling to pay off your student loans, and looking into the future you see no end in sight to those payments. Here is an example of what could happen to your student loans if you add an additional $500 to your payments every month: Let's say you owe $18,000 on your student loan. With a 6% interest rate and a minimum payment of $200 a month, you'll be paying on that loan for 10 more years! With that additional $500 a month, you'd trim a whopping seven years and eight months off your pay-off date. Isn't this something worth considering?
Improve the quality of your life – Let's say you are not thinking of retiring, you have no student loans and you are making your monthly payments on time every month. Wouldn't it be nice to move to a smaller home and use the excess cash to do something fun like traveling, learning a new skill or just buying whatever you have been dreaming of but have been unable to afford?
It is quite clear that moving to a smaller home is not for everyone. However, it might be a good idea for you to look into it. Talk to me to determine how much your home is worth now and study the option of a smaller home. Let me negotiate the best price for your current home and find you an attractive smaller option. You never know, it may result in a true change in the quality of you and your family's life for many different reasons!

Trudeau offers to work with Legault on a temporary reduction in immigration levels →
John Ivison: A most convenient misstep for the Liberals in Burnaby South – and other related articles
A good example of ethnic politics going wrong.
First, an interesting political analysis by Ivison:
Occam's razor, the problem-solving principle dating back to the 13th century friar William of Ockham, states that, other things being equal, simple explanations are generally better than more complex ones.
A medical equivalent, Zebra, guides doctors to reject exotic medical diagnoses in favour of more commonplace explanations.
"When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses, not zebras," runs the logic.
It's a good guiding principle for analyzing politics too. It is more often incompetence, rather than scruples, that makes the simplest explanation most likely. The relationships underlying political events are so complex that predicting outcomes from any action is a dubious business.
Yet sometimes, a case comes along where the more complex theory cannot be ruled out.
Take events in the riding of Burnaby South in British Columbia. The Liberals hemmed and hawed about running a candidate in the Feb. 25 byelection there, conscious that if they did so, they might inadvertently win and put paid to the political career of Jagmeet Singh, the federal NDP leader who is seeking a seat in Parliament.
Singh has found the learning curve in federal politics particularly steep, making numerous missteps in the full glare of the national media.
This past weekend, he failed to answer a question on a topic that had been all over the news. He claimed he hadn't heard the question, but he left the impression that it is only the hard questions that he mis-hears.
Singh remains Justin Trudeau's preferred opponent in October's federal election and there was the very real prospect that, if defeated, he might be replaced by someone more seasoned.
The Liberals had the option of not running a candidate in Burnaby South — Elizabeth May's Green Party decided to respect the old tradition of "leader's courtesy," not running against a federal leader trying to win a seat in the House of Commons.
Yet there were local pressures to run a Liberal candidate in the byelection, and it was decided it would be bad form for the ruling party to be so brazen about its preferences.
Step forward Karen Wang, a local daycare operator, who edged biotech scientist Cyrus Eduljee in a contested nomination.
Wang's candidacy put Singh's political future very much in doubt, given the seat was won by NDP MP Kennedy Stewart by just 600 votes over his Liberal rival in 2015.
It went unsaid by everyone that a Chinese-Canadian candidate might have extra cachet in a riding where nearly 40 per cent of voters are of Chinese descent.
At least, it went unsaid until Wang said it. Not only did she point out on a Chinese social media platform that she was "the only Chinese candidate," she identified Singh as being "of Indian descent."
It was a pretty blatant case of racism from the party that claimed so often in the last election that "a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian."
Since Trudeau's main line of attack in the next election will be to accuse the Conservatives of fomenting the "politics of division," it was clear that he would not support a candidate emphasizing differences and playing on intolerance to get elected.
Wang said the "phrasing should have been different" and removed her Chinese language post but it was too late.
Early Wednesday Pacific time, the party issued a statement saying that Wang's comments "are not aligned with the values of the Liberal Party of Canada" and said it had accepted her resignation. "The Liberal party has a clear commitment to positive politics and support for Canadian diversity and the same is always expected of our candidates," it said.
Wang issued her own statement, apologizing to Singh, and saying her choice of words about his cultural background "was not well-considered and did not reflect my intent."
Her resignation has left Singh alone on the left of the political spectrum in Burnaby South, facing Conservative Jay Shin and People's Party candidate Laura Lynn Tyler Thompson. His victory would seem assured, if the Liberals don't replace Wang. And yet they seem in no hurry to do so. When asked if there would be another Liberal candidate, Liberal communications director Braeden Caley said: "We'll have more to discuss on that in due course."
The most recent opinion poll in Burnaby South by Mainstreet Research suggested the byelection was turning into a two-horse race between Singh, with 39 per cent support, and Wang, with 26 per cent. The Conservatives will be more alarmed by the pollsters' estimate of People's Party support, at nine per cent, than the failure of their candidate to win the seat (Shin had the support of 22 per cent of the 740 people polled.)
Even with a margin of error of nearly four per cent, it's clear that Burnaby South will stay orange if there is no Liberal in the race.
So back to Occam's razor. Was this just a case of a reckless candidate gambling that if she played dog-whistle politics, it wouldn't be heard beyond the Chinese community?
Or was the plan all along to throw the fight?
Nine times out of 10, it would be the former but the outcome of this electoral rumpus is extremely convenient for Trudeau. He has polished his own halo as the great unifier who will forge consensus and bridge divides.
And he has all but insured that an NDP leader yet to find his feet on the national stage staggers on to fight the general election.
This may be the rare occasion when the hoofbeats are made by zebras.

Secondly, revelations by Michelle Rempel, not substantiated but believable, that Wang wanted to run as a Conservative but was rejected:
The Conservative Party of Canada rejected Karen Wang as a potential candidate before her short-lived Liberal Party candidacy in the Burnaby South byelection, according to MP Michelle Rempel.
Rempel said Wang approached her party, wanting to run in the 2019 federal election.
"The Conservative Party of Canada said no to this candidate over a year ago," she said. "There was a reason for that."
Rempel would not specify what that reason was.
"My understanding is that there were some discussions with this particular individual and the party decided for reasons regarding her judgment, that became clear today, to not allow her to run for us," she said.
Rempel made the comments at a press conference in Burnaby Wednesday afternoon. She was joined by Conservative candidate Jay Shin, who is running in the Feb. 25 Burnaby South byelection. The Calgary-based Parliamentarian called the press conference to call on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to initiate a review of Canada's immigration screening process.
Rempel's comments came just hours after Wang dropped out of the race. She came under fire for a WeChat post in which she identified herself as the "only Chinese candidate" in the byelection and pointed out that her opponent, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, is of Indian heritage. The post was translated from Chinese and reported by StarMetro Vancouver.
"My choice of words wasn't well-considered and didn't reflect my intent, and for that, I sincerely apologize to Mr. Singh," Wang said in a statement. "I have deep respect for him as the leader of his party and for his public service – and I would never want to diminish that in any way."
Rempel condemned the WeChat post, calling it "racism plain and simple."
Shin said he was shocked by Wang's comments.
"I'm offended as a Korean person, as a Korean-Canadian," he said. "There's no place for that."
The NOW has reached out to the Liberal Party and a representative of Wang's for comment.
Wang ran for the B.C. Liberal Party in the 2017 provincial election, losing to New Democrat Anne Kang. When the NOW asked her earlier this month why she had chosen to run with the federal Liberals after running for a party often aligned with the federal Conservatives, she said she had always been a supporter of the Liberal Party of Canada due to its core values, including diversity, liberty, multiculturalism and national unity.

Third, two different columns in the Toronto Sun, the first by Candice Malcolm, not acknowledging similar practices by the Conservatives, the second by Brian Lilley basically a plague on all their houses with respect to courting ethnic votes:
This is what a postnational multicultural state looks like.
On Wednesday, the Liberal candidate in the Burnaby South by-election resigned after sending a controversial message through the Chinese social media platform WeChat.
In a Chinese-language post, Karen Wang told her supporters to vote for her because she is "the only Chinese candidate" in the race, and to vote against NDP candidate and party leader Jagmeet Singh, noting that he is "of Indian descent."
This sort of crass appeal based solely on race and identity is off-putting and unwelcome to most Canadians. But it should come as no surprise that race-based ethnic politics takes place across Canada.
And while the Liberal Party can try to back away from Wang's message, her appeal to identity politics is straight out of the Liberal playbook and echoes the politics and policies promoted by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
In late 2015, Trudeau was interviewed by The New York Times magazine about his vision for Canada.
The American publication fawned that "Trudeau's most radical argument is that Canada is becoming a new kind of state, defined not by its European history but by the multiplicity of its identities from all over the world."
Forget about our traditions of ordered liberty that date back to the signing of the Magna Carta. And forget about our constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy — arguable the most successful form of government in human history — or our commitment to Western liberal ideals.
That type of "European history" is unimportant in Trudeau's Canada.
Instead, Trudeau said "there is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada… those are the qualities that make us the first postnational state."
The race-based message from the Liberal candidate mirrors this type of thinking. Wang's appeal is the inevitable conclusion of Trudeau's identity politics and his dream of a post-national Canada.
For instance, in her WeChat message, Wang does not call herself "Canadian" or even "Chinese-Canadian." Instead, she identifies as "Chinese" and calls Singh "Indian."
Just like Trudeau said, there's no mainstream, no core identity in Canada. Newcomers don't have to change anything about themselves when they move to Canada, so why would they bother to adopt a Canadian identity?
Likewise, Trudeau has downplayed the emphasis on language — eliminating the citizenship language test for many newcomers. It's no surprise, then, to see politicians pandering in different languages to various ethnic communities.
Trudeau's fixation on identity politics led him to appointing cabinet positions based solely on gender. While 26% of MPs are women, Trudeau promoted 50% to his cabinet.
But why stop at gender? The next logical step is to expand this thinking to other identities, like ethnic background and language groups. Why wouldn't a postnational Canada have quotas to proportionately represent every ethnic group?
In November, Trudeau said he rejected Canadian nationalism, seemingly conflating it with ethnic nationalism found in Europe and throughout the world.
Canadian nationalism, however, is not based on race or ethnicity, since Canada has always been pluralistic and racially diverse. Instead, our nationalism is defined by patriotism — a love of country and commitment to our heritage and shared values.
Patriotism is the glue that holds our diverse country together, and without it, we devolve into tribalism — divided by bloodlines and ancient feuds from foreign lands.
Trudeau has engineered these changes and created a toxic brew in Canada: lax integration policies juxtaposed with a forced multiculturalism that downplays Canadian values and divisive identity politics that demonizes Canadian heritage and identity.

Karen Wang's career as a Liberal Party of Canada candidate came to disastrous end on Wednesday as the party dumped her over stupid, and quite frankly racist comments.
It was such a change for a woman whose Twitter profile bragged about being the Team Trudeau candidate in the Burnaby South byelection. The party itself had just the evening before tweeted its support of her.
The official Liberal Party account tweeted "Add Women Change Politics" and called Wang an incredible candidate just hours before this story broke.
Now she's out, brought down by a crass attempt to use race and tribal politics to win the byelection.
In a posting on Chinese social media platform WeChat, Wang spoke of the size and importance of the Chinese community, then she made the stupid, racist comments.
"If we can increase the voting rate, as the only Chinese candidate in this riding, if I can garner 16,000 votes I will easily win the by-election, control the election race and make history! My opponent in this by-election is the NDP candidate Singh of Indian descent!"
I love the flourish with the exclamation point on Singh's Indian heritage, she is screaming loud and clear that she means don't vote for the brown guy.
Well that wouldn't work for Justin "Diversity is our Strength" Trudeau and after about 15 hours of hand wringing, Wang was fired.
The official line is she resigned, I'm sure her resignation was what I call "voluntold." Give us your resignation or else.
In her statement, Wang apologized to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, kind of.
"My choice of words wasn't well-considered and didn't reflect my intent, and for that, I sincerely apologize to Mr. Singh," Wang said in a statement.
In its own statement the party said Wang's comments, "are not aligned with the values of the Liberal Party."
No kidding, they shouldn't be aligned with anyones values.
Yet in some ways Wang thrust into the open the kind of ethno-politics that all the parties have played for years.
Every party has pandered to ethnic, religious or linguistic communities for votes. They will make sure certain ridings have candidates from a specific group if that group is a large enough voting bloc.
I've always found it off-putting and wished the parties would stop.
Voters should be picking candidates to vote for with the best policies for their riding, not the same skin colour or ethnic background.
Parties should pick policies to run on that align with their values and are in the best interests of Canada, not so they can attract certain ethnic voting blocs.
Ms. Wang was in many ways playing the game that has been played too long in Canadian politics, albeit more crassly.
Her statement and apology are weak and she needs to say more.
If this were a white candidate, especially a white male candidate, the fury over these comments about not voting for Singh because he is of Indian descent would be deafening.
Wang cannot be allowed an easy escape, nor can the Liberal Party be let off the hook, simply because she is an Asian woman.
There is the idea that I have heard from anti-racism activists that racism only comes from white people. It's a foolish claim. Anyone can be racist and Wang's comments show that.
Saying, "My choice of words wasn't well-considered" does not gloss over the fact that she told supporters vote for me, I'm Chinese and he's not.
Wang's initial reaction to the media stories on this also shows she doesn't understand why it was wrong, she told the Toronto Star it was just bad communication.
"The phrasing should have been different," she said.
It wasn't the phrasing that was the problem Ms. Wang, it was the intent of your post.
This kind of politics has no place in Canada. I'd like to say I hope we never see it again, but that is wishful thinking.
The best we can do is call it out when we see it.

My MIL dutifully wraps her sarees in a soft mulmul cloth or a dupatta or in this case, an old saree to store them. Last year when she gave me a a few of her vintage gems, she may have wrapped them in the saree I'm wearing today.
A few days back, when I was choosing sarees to wear over Diwali, I found this lovely, dark blue handloom saree with a patola border and small geometric bootis in the body, being wrapped around my silks. I quickly got it ironed and decided to give it back it's lost glory and pull it out of the dark shadows of the suitcase.
very lovely black with a beautiful border.

Rendezvous at the Dentist's Office (part 2)
Brady could hardly believe what had just happened to him. The only time a guy had hit on him since his injury was when he was sitting in a restaurant and the guy didn't realize he was in a wheelchair. But Jason definitely knew he was in a chair and amazingly, it didn't seem to bother him at all.
The decided to take separate cars to the restaurant. As Brady transferred into his car and dismantled his wheelchair so he could store it in the passenger's side seat, he looked up and noticed that Jason was watching him. He felt his face turning a little red, but tried to tell himself that Jason didn't mind.
When Brady got to the restaurant, he was dismayed to see that the two handicapped spots in front were already taken. He cursed to himself, trying to figure out what to do. Although the parking lot wasn't very full, he needed to have enough room on the left side of the car to transfer out. Even if he parked in a spot that was empty on the left, there was no guarantee it would be empty when it was time for him to leave.
Finally, Brady spotted a parking spaced that was next to a curb. He could transfer onto the curb on his left. He got as close to the curb as he could, which took two tries. The transfer was a little more awkward than usual, but it was doable, and he didn't have to worry about getting blocked in.
As Brady wheeled himself toward the restaurant, he noticed a portly middle aged guy walking toward one of the handicapped spots and getting in the car. Brady felt a flash of anger… this guy didn't look disabled at all! He tried to tell himself that maybe the guy had some horrible heart condition where he couldn't walk more than a few steps, but he guessed it was probably something like lower back pain. It infuriated Brady that people who didn't have real disabilities were able to take parking spots that he badly needed.
He saw Jason's car pulling into the lot and a minute later, he joined Brady in the restaurant. The hostess led them to a table and pulled a chair away to make room for Brady's wheelchair. Brady always appreciated when they did that without him having to ask.
As soon as they were seated at the table, Brady felt a wave of anxiety. Jason was a really attractive guy and could obviously have any man he wanted. Why was he bothering with a cripple? Jason was being kind of quiet and Brady wondered if he was having any regrets. When the water came, the first thing Brady did was knock his glass over.
"Sorry," Brady said, after the waiter had cleaned it up. "I'm kind of… nervous."
Jason raised his eyebrows. "Why?"
"I haven't dated much in the last couple of years." Or at all.
"That's surprising."
"Why?" Brady thought it was perfectly understandable why a paraplegic wouldn't get many dates.
"Because you're really hot."
Brady swallowed his water wrong and started coughing violently. When the coughs subsided, he started at Jason. "You're kidding."
"Well, I think so," Jason said, blushing a little.
"I just don't think of myself that way," Brady said. "Not anymore. Not since I got hurt."
"Do you mind if I ask what happened?"
Brady told Jason the whole story. He'd been driving home from party one night, minding his own business, when a drunk driver came out of nowhere and T-boned the car. He woke up in the hospital unable to feel anything below his belly button. He was told that the injury was permanent.
What he didn't tell Jason was how determined he had been to walk again, despite the fact that the doctors told him he had a complete injury and all nerves had been severed. He talked about walking constantly, read every website he could find, every miraculous story about a paraplegic walking again, inquired about bracing and experimental treatments, and even went to a few quacks who swore they'd get him to walk again. It really just didn't seem possible that he'd never walk again.
It was on the one year anniversary of his accident, when he was still sitting in a wheelchair, his legs just as paralyzed as they'd been on the first day except now thin and atrophied and brittle, that it finally hit him that the doctors were right: he was going to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Even if he lived another fifty years, he was always going to be the guy in the wheelchair.
"Did the guy who hit your car go to jail?" Jason asked.
Brady shook his head. "It was a woman, actually. And no, she just got probation for two years and her license suspended."
"Are you kidding me?! That's bullshit!"
"I was pretty angry at the time," Brady admitted. "I was going to have to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair because of her and all she got was probation? But she was an alcoholic and a single mother with two kids so… her life was pretty bad. I mean, I'm upset that it happened, but I don't feel angry at her. Or at least, not as angry as I used to be."
They were interrupted by a waitress coming over to take their order. The waitress took Jason's order first, then said, "And for your brother?"
Brady snickered and didn't correct her. He guessed she'd noticed the way they were looking at each other, a little more intimate than friends, so assumed they were brothers. He thought if she realized they were on a date, she'd be horrified.
"So what sort of work do you do?" Jason asked. "You know what I do, obviously."
"Well, I used to be a drug rep for a pharmaceutical company," Brady said. "You know, those guys who go around wining and dining doctors."
"I can totally see that," Jason said. "All the drug reps I've ever met have been really hot."
Brady blushed again. "Well, once I was in a wheelchair, they didn't want me anymore. I guess I can understand why. So I went back to school to get a masters degree in comp sci, which is what I'm working on right now. I figure computers skills are pretty useful for… someone like me."
"Yeah, to be honest, I don't know if I see myself as a dental hygienist long term," Jason said. "I've been thinking about going back to school too."
"Well, you're pretty good at what you do," Brady said.
Jason grinned. "Well, thanks."
Brady glanced down and saw that Jason's hand had surreptitiously slipped onto his left knee. He couldn't feel Jason's touch at all, but worried that his penis might react anyway. He couldn't get hard from looking at a hot guy anymore, but a touch on his leg might set him off. "You know," Brady said, looking into Jason's eyes, "I can't feel that."
"Oh," Jason said, looking flustered. He pulled his hand away. "Sorry, um, I forgot…"
"I didn't say you should stop. Just… go somewhere I can feel."
Jason leaned in closer to him and Brady felt his breath catch in his throat. "Well, where can you feel?"
"Anything above the belly button."
Now that he'd been given permission, Jason's hand eagerly snaked up inside Brady's sweatshirt. Since they were in a public restaurant, Brady attempted to remain composed, but when Jason's fingers circled his nipples, he involuntarily let out a low moan. "Jesus Christ," he murmured.
Their food arrived and Jason quickly yanked his hand away. Brady had no appetite, but he ate his burger as fast as he could stuff it down his throat and he noticed Jason was doing the same. They were done eating in record time and Jason called for the check.
"Where do you live?" Jason asked.
That was the great thing about being gay. Brady's straight male friends always had to play games and wait months to get a girl into bed. Brady had never experienced that problem. He shook his head, "Not my house. I live with my parents now."
"Shit," Jason said.
"Nothing, except I've got two flights of stairs to get to my apartment."
Brady clenched his fists in frustration. He thought for a minute about how much he wanted this and the answer was pretty badly. Bad enough to bring a guy home right in front of his parents? Probably not. Bad enough to let himself get carried up two flights of stairs? That was an affirmative.
"I can go piggyback," Brady suggested.
Jason raised his eyebrows. "You okay with that?"
He sighed. "Guess so."
Jason gave his roommate a call, who said he'd be available to help if needed. Brady found the whole thing mildly embarrassing, but if Jason didn't find it a turn off, then he'd deal with it.
About fifteen minutes later, he met Jason and his straight roommate Andy outside Jason's building. It was a brownstone with a flight to get up to the door, then another flight to get to Jason's apartment. It was so frustrating that two flights of stairs had become such a formidable obstacle.
"So how should we do this?" Jason asked Brady.
"I guess you can carry me up the stairs, and Andy can follow with my wheelchair," Brady said.
"Sounds like a plan," Jason said. He awkwardly crouched down in front of Brady's wheelchair. "Uh, how exactly should we do this?"
"You should probably grab my legs first," Brady instructed him, "because I'm not going to be able to lift them on my own."
Jason laced his muscular arms under Brady's thin legs and Brady wrapped his arms around Jason's shoulders. Brady could feel the muscles in Jason's chest and immediately felt self-conscious about his own body. Jason was in incredible shape. Whereas Brady had the body of… well, a cripple.
Jason was in great shape and didn't need a break at the top of the first flight of stairs. Andy was following behind them with Brady's chair and the whole thing went as smoothly as could be expected. At the top of the second story, Andy lined up the chair behind them, and Jason lowered Brady back into his wheelchair with a plop. Brady grabbed his wheels to center himself in the chair, and lifted his legs back into the footrest one by one.
"That wasn't so hard," Jason puffed, slightly winded. "So… do you want to come inside?"

BCD Travel employees embrace 'improve the world' corporate vision with $750,000 commitment to Haitian school
ATLANTA, July 05, 2016 – The BCD Travel Foundation, the giving arm of BCD Travel, will provide $750,000 to cover operating expenses over the next five years to help fund L'Ecole de Choix—"The School of Choice"— a private, non-profit elementary school in Mirebalais, Haiti. The funds will be raised by employee-led fundraising efforts and matching contributions from BCD Travel and its private owner.
In addition to monetary contributions, the BCD Travel Foundation will organize and fund trips to L'Ecole de Choix (pronounced "schwa") for BCD Travel employees who wish to volunteer service hours at the school. The BCD Travel Foundation will also help promote additional fundraising initiatives for specific projects at the school, such as playground improvements and sanitation expansion.
"Our support of Choix is a natural fit for our company because it's aligned with our organization's core values. We encourage and enable our people to make a difference in the lives of our customers and our communities," said Leslie West, senior vice president of BCD Travel and chair of the BCD Travel Foundation board. "Our foundation looks for ways to take this passion for helping others beyond serving customers to improve the lives of people around the world, with an emphasis on helping children."
Added Kathy Jackson, executive vice president of Global Client Management and executive chair of Corporate Social Responsibility: "Our commitment to corporate social responsibility is written into our vision statement—we promote positive social impact by improving communities worldwide. We summarize that commitment as simply 'doing good with everything we do.'"
Choix opened in October 2011 and now educates 180 children from grades one through six. The philanthropic arm of Zynga, the gaming company behind Farmville and Words With Friends, provided seed money for the school's original physical infrastructure. Choix's operations now are supported entirely through individual contributions and philanthropic partnerships such as with BCDTF.
Choix's mission is to develop future Haitian leaders by empowering students to shape their own futures, strengthen their communities, create their own choices and, ultimately, to change the world. With a commitment to gender equality and inclusion, the school's curriculum focuses on leadership development and communication skills for children living in the deepest conditions of poverty in Haiti.
The poorest country in the western hemisphere, Haiti has an average literacy rate of 53% and only half of school-age children attend school. Fewer than 30 percent of Haitian youth graduate from sixth grade. The 2010 earthquake in Haiti destroyed almost 50% of the nation's schools and devastated the three main universities in Port-au-Prince.
Christian Dahl, senior vice president, Strategic Talent Management & Global Human Resources, and vice president of the BCD Travel Foundation board, believes that corporate social responsibility is essential to the company's success. He said the best employees are drawn to companies that demonstrate a genuine concern over the impact their businesses have on people and the environment.
"Without question, employees are driven by a need to make a comfortable living, and they want their company to succeed as a business," Dahl said. "But people spend half their lives at work, and when possible they want to leverage all that effort to create positive social change in the world. That's why we think corporate social responsibility goes hand in hand with being a competitive and successful company."

Gunda Gundo is accessed from the town of Edagahamus, 100km after Mekelle. It has an area that lay between a sheer side cliff in the west and an escarpment that drops towards the Afar depression. From this settlement, a 24km rough road leads to Geblen, a village located on the verge of the escarpment. It houses the monastery of Gunda Gundo, which is set in peculiar land features. The monastery has a church that bears its name, Mariam Gunda Gundo and is dedicated to Saint Mary. The church is a combination of two old mud houses that are constructed with four cruciform pillars and twelve arches. The aging church is well noted for its time honored parchments, crosses and crowns.

Q: Can I link an external lib into a header-only visual studio project for use in other solutions? I've been using Boost's ASIO library to do network and socket communication. Now I'm getting to a point in the development cycle where I'd like to clean things up and make them a little more modular. My first thought was that I would use a separate project for just the network communication part (essentially factoring out the Boost-dependent stuff) and use one visual studio project in two different visual studio solutions. Something like:
Client.sln
->  Client.vcxproj
->  Networking.vcxproj

Server.sln
->  Server.vcxproj
->  Networking.vcxproj

I tried to do this, but I have the problem that my Networking.vcxproj has turned into a header-only project due to the fact that I'm creating nothing but template classes. What I would ideally like to do is place the references to the boost pre-compiled libs only in the Networking.vcxproj and link against the output of Networking.vcxproj. However, if I understand correctly, there's nothing to link against since my Networking.vcxproj has no .cpp files.
Is there any way to link against my Networking project and the boost ASIO libs without specifying all the additional library dependencies in all the projects? i.e. Is there any way to somehow create the project settings so that I don't have to duplicate the boost library dependencies every time I create a new application which uses the Networking.vcxproj project?

A: Try to put
#pragma comment(lib, "libname.lib")

in one of your networking header files. This should force any project that include that header to link against the specified library (with name "libname").

Blue Planet Offices, Inc., a Florida corporation, located in Key West, FL produced the first two coupon books in 2009. The top right photo shows a box full of completed coupon books ready to be stuffed into the plastic door knob bags. The plastic bags protect the books from the elements until the home owner takes it inside.
Dan F. Schramm, the CEO of Blue Planet is shown below with one of our two digital duplicators. One of the color drums is shown on top of the machine. These are Risograph FR2950 duplicators which are not quite printing presses and are not photocopy machines. They look like photocopy machines and have a scanner bed on top like a copy machine. Unlike a copy machine or laser printer, they do not use toner or fuse the toner with heat. They actually print with real ink, a soy based environmentally friendly ink.
They can also print in multiple colors, although only one color at a time. They have drums that hold a master which is cut by a laser after the original is scanned. The drum holds a tube of ink in the center. A separate drum and ink tube is needed for each color to be printed. These machines print a maximum of 8.5x14 inches. We plan to purchase a machine that will print 11x17 inches and already have obtained a number of different color drums for that machine.
Blue Planet prints all the coupon books itself. The 2009 book was cut into signatures, collated and center stapled. They were actual bound booklets. This was all done by hand and proved to be extremely time consuming, which means expensive. This is one reason we have not done a coupon book for five years.
We also have our own reasons for doing the coupon book again. We are using it to promote our new free telephone directory (33040.mobi) and our community forum at KeysVoice.com. These forums also provide our advertisers increased methods of promotion while providing important community services.
We have also made the production much simplier. The book is not exactly an actual book but we are not changing the name. It will be 8.5x14" sheet folded in half and then folded in half again. Each sheet holds 4 full page ads. There is likely to be multiple sheets and we have a lot of flexibility which we did not have with the original book.
Making the production simplier allows us to lower the cost, while increasing the ad page size and also increasing the circulation.
Thank you for your interest and we hope you will sign up for the directory and the coupon book.

In Episode 89 of Pep Talks for Your Soul, I talk about some things you ought to consider before you chase after 'that' body you want.
I think every woman on the planet is susceptible to feeling shame or discontent in her skin. After all we live in a world that's telling us how we 'should' be and how we 'should' look.
Let's get real for a minute...the 'perfect body' is not what you actually want and even if you do attain it, unless you've stopped to reflect on what's driving you to aspire to such a body, it ain't going to change how you feel. You're still going to feel the same. Take it from someone who's subjected her body to eating disorders, gruelling workouts and insane ways of eating, living and being.
Until I realised, I needed to address what lay beneath.
In this short episode I share a few highlights that'll support you to stop running on the mental treadmill and move towards a more peaceful way of being.
You can have the body you love, but that's not necessarily the body you think you want.
The body you love is the body you feel good and alive in. It's the body that allows you to be your best in all areas of your life.
Enjoy this Pep Talk and leave me a comment on Instagram @MonicaKade if you found it valuable.

57 civilians, 37 Policemen, six Soldiers killed during #EndSARS crisis -Lai Mohammed
November 19, 2020 Admin5 News 0
The Federal Government says 57 civilians, 37 policemen, and six Soldiers were killed all over the country during the #EndSARS crisis.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed disclosed this on Thursday in Abuja at a media briefing on the EndSARS protest and its aftermath.
He also said that 196 policemen were injured; 164 police vehicles destroyed and 134 police stations were razed.
The minister said the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, the Nigeria Customs Service and Nigeria Immigration Service all lost infrastructures, equipment and other valuables to attacks by hoodlums during the crisis.
He said eight medium Security custodial centres in six states (Edo, Lagos, Abia, Delta, Ondo and Ebonyi) were attacked, with 1,957 inmates set free and 31 members of staff injured.
The minister said that in the orgy of violence, 269 private/corporate facilities were burnt, looted or vandalised, 243 government facilities burnt and vandalised and 81 government warehouses looted
He frowned at the position of some human rights organisations and media houses which continued to dwell on" the bodiless and bloodless 'massacre' at Lekki Toll Gate''.
"They became suspicious after they simply ignored the brutal killing and maiming of security agents during the crisis.
"They did not see anything wrong in the public and private properties that were burnt or looted, neither did they see anything wrong in the fact that some of the businesses that were looted belonged to struggling young men and women.
"All they could see in their biased view of the whole situation was a hoax massacre,'' he said.
Mohammed said the federal government is satisfied with the role played by the security agencies, especially the military and the police, all through the EndSARS crisis.
He stressed that the security agents were professional and measured in their response.
"Even when their lives were at stake, they exercised uncommon restraint.
"Their professionalism and measured response saved many lives and properties.
"For example, despite arresting hordes of looters during the violence in Lagos, the army treated them humanely and even counseled them before handing them over to the police.
"The same cannot be said of those who unleashed mayhem on the security agents, killing and maiming them, sometimes in such a barbaric manner that is unprecedented in these parts,'' he said
Mohammed said it is depressing and demoralising to continue to vilify men and women in uniform, who themselves were victims of senseless violence unleashed by hoodlums.
He said the government will not accept a situation in which some human rights bodies and jaundiced media organisations will continue to harass the security agencies over their roles during the crisis.
The Heads of all information agencies under the ministry of information and culture including the Managing Director, News Agency of Nigeria, Mr. Buki Ponle were at the media briefing.

There's a story often repeated by Zen monks. I adore this story and feel terrible because I'm probably about to butcher it. Even so, I have to do my best, because it contains a powerful moral worth sharing.
Ignore the lesson in this story at your peril. It describes one of the greatest dangers with meditation – one that, if you meditate long enough, have a good chance of blindly stumbling into.
And once you make this mistake, it's difficult to reverse.
Many monks live off the charity of others. They have no money – they left all that behind when joining the monastery. And it's not like they can hold down part-time jobs or sell information products online.
Their food and often their clothing come from the generosity of others.
An old woman had been donating food to a particular monk for decades. She would give him food and he would calmly accept it.
And when I say calmly, you can imagine what I mean. This is a monk, after all. It would have been like giving food to a statue. Maybe he bowed in gratitude or something, I don't know.
Anyway, one day the old woman finds a young, beautiful girl. She gets the girl to hug the monk, then asked him how he felt about that.
The old woman was furious. "I can't believe I've wasted food on such a vulgar fellow for so long," she said, before burning down his monastery.
Now I'll admit I'm missing some key cultural context here.
Still, I love this story.
The minor moral is that Zen Buddhism is cooler than you think. Admit it – that's a wild story. A random old woman burns down a monastery… and she isn't the villain.
Is she the hero? Maybe?
Meditate long enough and you can become cut off from the world and yourself. Some sects even encourage this. Most use this story as a warning. When diving deep inside your mind, you have a choice.
You can enrich your connection with the world and everything beyond. You can use it to find the bliss of nirvana and become complete.
Or, you can become a hollow void where a human used to be. Dead but still breathing.
You'd think it'd be an easy choice. Pleasure over nihilism, right?
Mind training is perilous. You always need a guide, or at least, an instruction manual.
Some people lose themselves within themselves. Others find there ways to better connect with everything around them.
