3. Unroll refrigerated Puff Pastry Dough on enclosed parchment paper and place on a baking sheet. If using a smaller loin (1 lb. vs. 2), you will have enough dough to add a decorative cut out to the top of the puff pastry.
4. If using a 1 lb. loin, before the next steps below, cut about 2 in. off one long end. You will have a long 2 inch strip. Take the strip, and cut it in half. Put the 2 pieces side by side, and using a rolling pin, roll out slightly eliminating the seam. Use a cookie cutter to cut out desired shape to decorate the top of the rolled loin.
5. Leaving puff pastry on the provided parchment paper, spread a generous amount of Boursin cheese in the center (use about half the 5.2 ounce pkg.). Layer the Canadian bacon slices on top of the Boursin. Next, layer the Havarti cheese slices. Place trimmed pork loin on top of these layers. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash and wrap the meat and cheeses like a package, pinching the ends closed.
6. Next, flip the whole thing over, with the seam down on the parchment paper provided. Brush the entire puff pastry with the egg wash and add the decorative cut out, brushing it with egg wash as well. Sprinkle the top with a pinch of kosher salt.
7. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. Pastry should be golden brown and meat temperature should be about 140-145°F. Let it rest for 15 minutes before cutting.

Getting a new kitten is a fun experience, but it can also be a little difficult if you already have an adult cat at home. Cats are very territorial, so your cat might not be welcoming to the kitten right away. However, you can make it a smooth transition if you follow these instructions for introducing the kitten to your adult cat.
It may not be your first choice, but it is best to keep the stress level of both the new kitten and the adult cat as low as possible. One way to do this is by keeping the kitten confined in its own area. Choose a room that is not your adult cat's favorite room and make sure it has a door you can close. Keep a bed, toys, scratching posts, litter box, food and water in this room.
The kitten should be kept confined in the room except for play time for several hours and up to a couple days, depending on how the cats are getting along. This allows the kitten time to adjust to being in a new home without being overly stressed by the adult cat's presence. Let your kitten out to be with you and the other cat, but supervise these play sessions carefully.
Animals, including cats, will adjust better to each other when they get used to their scents. The scents should first be introduced even before you bring the kitten home. One way to do this is by swapping their blankets. Put your adult cat's blanket in the kitten's kennel while it is at the shelter, and bring the kitten's blanket home to your adult cat. If you can't do this before bringing the kitten home, you can wait until the kitten is home and confined in its area.
Once they have become familiar with each other's scents and the kitten has become accustomed to living in your home, it is time to start introducing the kitten to other parts of your home. Only allow it in one or two areas at a time instead of giving it free reign of your home. During this time, it is okay to leave the door of the kitten's area open as it might want to run back there for food, water, and the litter box. Don't be surprised if when the kitten becomes afraid, it seeks comfort in its room, even if the door is left open.
Both the adult cat and kitten need time to adjust to the new living arrangements. Don't try to rush them or force them to play together. They may never want to be as social as you would like. By introducing them slowly, you can at least avoid most physical fights between them. Keep their interactions supervised until they are relaxed around each other.
If there are any fights between the kitten and cat that cause injuries, bring them both to the emergency vet (like those at Animal House Veterinary Hospital) right away.
The first day you own a pet, you might be more concerned about keeping your house clean than you are about making sure that your pet stays safe and has fun. However, after you fall in love with that furry little friend, you might pay more attention to keeping hazards out of reach. I have been a pet owner for the past twenty years, and I know what it takes to protect your animal. Check out these tips for protecting your animal from harmful cleaning chemicals, foods, and even bad people. My blog might seem simple, but it could be the key to keeping your pet safe.

With regret we turned down the offer of chay, a regret which is with me still. We had simply run out of that precious commodity – time. The peace, love and warm sincerity which emanated from our host lingers on in my memories.
And so, in the village of Nij, we have a population of people who are direct descendents of the ancient Caucasian Albanians, and they are known as the Udi people. Amazingly, they still have their own Udi language (using 49 characters), and indeed they retain their own ancient form of Christianity.
After the arrival of Islam, Eastern Orthodox Christianity survived only in pockets where it had once been prevalent. The religion spread into Russia and had hundreds of years of varying support and dominance from the state. In Nij, interference from Russia was less until the time of the Soviet Empire, when Azerbaijan fell under Soviet rule, which generally discouraged all religious activity. The churches of Nij fell into disrepair.
Since the end of Soviet rule, the Russian people in Russia (and indeed the people of other former Soviet states) have been embracing Christianity with passion, rebuilding churches and cathedrals which had been destroyed or neglected. The Udi people of Nij want to do the same, but the process is taking a little longer. Poverty together perhaps with fear of being aligned with neighbouring Christian Armenia, at odds with Azerbaijan over the Nagornah Karabagh issue, has meant that recovery is slow.
But the slow recovery is just in the buildings and in the literature. The Udi people of Nij , in their hearts and in their blood, are still Udi, and still Christian. They speak Udi as their first language, with Azerbaij ani and Russian as second languages. They had been praying in their own homes. The fi rst support came from Norway, a friend to Azerbaijan perhaps partly stemming from a belief of common ancestry and shared historical trade routes.
The first church was restored (2003 - 2006). But some Nij people were still maybe nervous about being aligned with neighbouring Armenia. Some left Nij (there are smaller Udi populations in Georgia and in Russia as a result). This was a worrying time for the Udi people.
the Christian Udis amongst them, and support is now coming from the Azerbaijani government and money is being made available from Azerbaijan's oil revenues. Udi bibles are being sourced, and a minister is on his way; he is currently undergoing traning.
Nij is a large spread out village in the Qabala Region of Azerbaijan, but it is tucked a little way off the main tourist route from Baku to Sheki. For this reason it is bypassed by most travellers. You have to make an effort to go there. I have passed the 'road end' frequently.
With help from the excellent staff at the Qabala Hotel,I was introduced to some Udi people in Nij who in turn introduced me to the gentleman looking after the churches. His name is Rafiq and he will happily show you around. Just take a translator if you don't speak Udi or Azerbaijani or Russian.
One church, Chotari, is restored (2006) and functioning with services every Sunday (12 – 2pm) attracting maybe a hundred worshippers. There is no singing as part of the service, but in the past there was, and perhaps there will be again in the future. It has a meeting room.
when you visit these churches, to meet the charming and welcoming Udi people, to see and wonder about the many links with other more ancient religions.
Enter through the low doorways; bow your head as you go, showing respect to God. Find out about the baptism rituals. Hear about sacrificial practices. Visit the cemeteries and witness the wonderful engravings on the tomb stones. One of my own favourites has to be the 'Celtic' knot work design.
I hope these photographs whet your appetite for a trip to Nij I wish I could've stayed longer.

The Head of Place Development submitted a report which sought the Executive to approve a European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) grant offer of £1.5m to develop 23,500 sq ft (2,183 sq m) of industrial workshops at Reedlands Business Park, Clay Flatts in Workington and to note the novation of a designer and external project manager for the £2.5m development scheme.
The Executive had previously agreed the appointment of Pick Everard, who had completed the first phase of the design work to RIBA 3 specification which allowed the full application to be submitted and resulted in the current offer of the grant.
Members noted there would be a significant impact on the Council's budget through the commitment to £1m match funding for the development. This funding requirement had already been approved as part of the Council's revised budget.
Councillor M Fryer moved the recommendations set out in the report. This was seconded by Councillor A Smith. The recommendations were unanimously agreed.
Decline the offer of grant and not proceed with the scheme.
Accept the offer of grant and proceed with delivery of the scheme.
The Council had received a European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) grant offer of £1.5m to develop 23,500 sq ft (2,183 sq m) of industrial workshops at Reedlands Business Park, Clay Flatts in Workington.
By accepting the grant offer the Council would have to commit to constructing the £2.5m development scheme, which meant committing to the £1m match funding required as the award of the grant covered 60% of the total development cost.
Under the terms of the appointment of Pick Everard, by using the Scape Framework, the council had the ability to novate Pick Everard as designers and project managers for the scheme.
The £1.5m offer of European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) grant funding from DCLG/Europe be accepted.
The match funding requirement of £1m, which had already been approved as part of the revised budget be confirmed.
The novation of Pick Everard as designer and external project manager for the scheme allowable under the Scape Framework be noted.


It took only one start for the racing industry to tune into Stonestreet's Maclean's Music, the super-fast son of Distorted Humor out of the Unbridled's Song mare, Forest Music. Maclean's Music earned a 114 Beyer Speed Figure in that sizzling six furlongs at Santa Anita Park in March of 2011, the highest figure ever given to a debut winner.
To put this into perspective, in the last six years, only Horses of the Year Curlin and Rachel Alexandra and Champion Uncle Mo have posted higher three-year-old Beyer Speed Figures on dirt.
Maclean's Music is a half-brother to a pair of graded stakes winners: Kentuckian, winner of the G3 Lazaro Barrera Stakes, and Electric Forest, winner of the G3 Doubledogdare Stakes.
In just his first crop, Maclean's Music produced classic winner Cloud Computing, who won the G1 Preakness Stakes over Two-Year-Old Champion Classic Empire in a grueling stretch duel.
Maclean's Music boasted a $114,000 yearling average in 2017 from a 2015 fee of $6,500. After Cloud Computing's classic success, his fee rose to $25,000.
In 2018, Maclean's Music was represented by multiple stakes winners Swing and Sway and Classic Rock as well as G1 winner Complexity, who conquered the G1 Champagne Stakes at Belmont Park.

Shankharibazar massacre () was a massacre of over 212 Bengali Hindus in the Shankharibazar area of Old Dhaka in East Pakistan on 26 March 1971 by the Pakistani occupation army. The survivors fled to the villages on the other side of the Buriganga, in the region now known as Keraniganj. Shankharibazar became deserted and dead bodies remained on the streets for quite a long time. The Pakistani establishment renamed the Shankharibazar Road to Tikka Khan Road.

Background
Shankharibazar is a Hindu locality in the heart of Old Dhaka. It is inhabited by the Shankharis, a Bengali Hindu caste still engaged in their traditional vocation of preparation of conch shell bangles from conch shells.

The Pakistani occupation army camped at the Jagannath College and Brahmo Samaj, very near to the Shankharibazar Road. During the Operation Searchlight, Shankharibazar became the prime target of the Pakistani army.

Events
On the evening of 25 March, the Pakistani army took to the streets. They proceeded towards Sadar Ghat along the Nawabpur Road. At the crossing of Shankharibazar Road, they shelled a house, as a result of which a portion of the house got destroyed. Three people died in the shelling and five to six people were injured.

On the afternoon of 26 March, the Pakistani army attacked Shankharibazar. They entered premises no. 47 and killed the father and younger brother of the family. The elder brother Amar Sur, who survived the massacre fled through the narrow lane in the rear of the house. The military men ordered the residents to come out of their houses. Then they came out they were shot to death. The Pakistani army continued their killing spree in the premises of the locality and killed around 50 Hindus. More than 200 Hindus were injured in the assault. The houses were set on fire. According to eyewitness accounts, 31 Hindus were killed in the residence of Chandan Sur alone. Chandan Sur was one of the established and influential men in the area. Before the elections, Khwaja Khairuddin of the Dhaka Nawab family had unsuccessfully tried to coerce Sur on his side. Khairuddin was contesting the elections against Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. It has been alleged that during the massacre, Khwaja Khairuddin led the Pakistani military to the residence of Chandan Sur. According to Kalidas Baidya, 126 Hindus from the neighbourhood were rounded up in one house and shot to death.

Aftermath
Shankharibazar became a deserted locality. The Pakistani occupation army and their local collaborators looted the gold, jewellery and furniture in the houses. The Bihari Muslims occupied the houses and settled in the locality. The Pakistani establishment renamed the Shankharibazar Road to Tikka Khan Road. The survivors returned to their locality after the liberation of Bangladesh. By then the entire locality was in ruins. The Shankharis had to start the struggle of life afresh.

Memorial
In 1972, a memorial was erected on the eastern end of the Shankharibazar Road in memory of the victims of the Shankharibazar massacre. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman promised the family of the victims a compensation sum of 2,000 Taka, however the victim's family members haven't received any compensation till date. In 1997, on the occasion silver jubilee of Liberation of Bangladesh, the Shankharibazar published a souvenir where the names of the massacre victims were published.

Altimmune Publishes Compelling Preclinical Data for Intranasal COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate
Altimmune Inc. shares traded 12% higher after the company published preclinical studies conducted together with the University of Alabama at Birmingham for AdCOVID, its intranasal COVID-19 vaccine candidate.
Altimmune Inc. (ALT:NASDAQ), which is focused on developing treatments for liver disease, intranasal vaccines and immune modulating therapies, yesterday announced that it pre-published a "comprehensive preclinical evaluation of its single-dose, intranasal COVID-19 vaccine candidate, AdCOVID�, in a manuscript entitled, Single-dose intranasal administration of AdCOVID elicits systemic and mucosal immunity against SARS-CoV-2 in mice."
The firm advised that the ongoing studies expand upon earlier preclinical data presented for the AdCOVID program and were jointly conducted with the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). The company noted that the full manuscript is now available for viewing.
The company explained that "AdCOVID is based on its adenovirus-based intranasal vaccine platform and expresses the receptor binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein." The company noted that the AdCOVID design approach provides many important advantages compared to other COVID-19 vaccine approaches as it offers a single-dose, intranasal administration that activates a broad immune response.
Altimmune stated that it expects to file an Investigational New Drug Application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and plans to start a Phase 1 safety and immunogenicity trial of AdCOVID in Q4/20.
The company highlighted the key findings from the publication and stated that "the authors of the study presented data demonstrating strong activation of all three arms of the adaptive immune system following a single intranasal dose of AdCOVID." Specifically, the data obtained from two separate strains of mice showed that AdCOVID stimulated strong immune responses including Serum Neutralizing Immunity, T cell Immunity and Mucosal Immunity.
Altimmune's Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Scot Roberts, Ph.D., commented, "Our collaboration with UAB has been extremely productive and the preclinical data for AdCOVID continue to show promising differentiation from other COVID-19 vaccine candidates...Intranasal vaccination represents an attractive strategy to prevent COVID-19 infection, as the nasal cavity comprises the first line of defense against the SARS-CoV-2 virus prior to entry into the lungs. By stimulating mucosal antibody and T cell immunity, along with potent systemic neutralizing antibody titers, all three arms of the immune system can work in concert to prevent and control infection."
"Current first-generation COVID-19 vaccines, which are given by intramuscular injection, are unable to activate nasal mucosal immunity, which may not only be critical for mounting a comprehensive immune response, but may also prevent further spread of the virus by blocking transmission," Dr. Roberts added.
Dr. Frances Lund, Ph.D., Charles H. McCauley Professor and Chair of the UAB Department of Microbiology and principal investigator and co-author of the manuscript, remarked, "We are delighted that our work has provided convincing data on the potential of AdCOVID to provide broad and effective immune response, and look forward to continued collaboration with Altimmune on this important program."
The company claimed that AdCOVID offers a much easier route of administration compared to injections, and may possibly allow for self-administration without the need for administration by trained medical staff. The firm noted that compared to other alternatives being developed in the marketplace, similar to Altimmune's other platform vaccines (NasoVAX� and NasoShield�), it is anticipated that when AdCOVID is deployed, it will have extended stability at room temperature. The firm explained that this will "allow for cold chain-free distribution of the vaccine where it can then be stored in the common refrigerators found in community-based doctor's offices and pharmacies for two years or more." The company stated that it is hopeful that the ease of administration and simple, convenient handling requirements will greatly aid in increasing the number of people willing to take the vaccine.
Altimmune is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Gaithersburg, Md., that is engaged in the development of treatments for liver disease, immune modulating therapies and intranasal vaccines. The firm noted that its "diverse pipeline includes proprietary intranasal vaccines for COVID-19 (AdCOVID�), anthrax (NasoShield�) and influenza (NasoVAX�); an intranasal immune modulating therapeutic for COVID-19 (T-COVID�); and next generation peptide therapeutics for NASH (ALT-801) and chronic hepatitis B (HepTcell�)."
Altimmune has a market capitalization of around $414.7 million with approximately 32.9 million shares outstanding and a short interest of about 6.3%. ALT shares opened almost 13% higher today at $14.20 (+$1.60, +12.70%) over yesterday's $12.60 closing price. The stock has traded today between $13.83 and $16.25 per share and is presently trading at $14.10 (+$1.50, +11.90%).

Hillary Clinton spoke in New York on Tuesday night.
WASHINGTON — Now that she has wrapped up the Democratic presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton is poised to receive timely political help from the current occupant of the Oval Office and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren.
President Obama and Warren will play key roles as healers of the rifts in the Democratic Party and serve as prominent Donald Trump debunkers when they come off the sidelines and endorse Clinton.
Warren has long said she would endorse someone in the Democratic primary contest, but she waited until after Clinton had clinched the nomination to signal that she would definitely back the first woman in US history to serve as a presidential nominee of a major party.
Two Warren advisers said Wednesday that Warren intends to endorse Clinton but that timing and the form of the public announcement have not been determined. Her support promises to give Clinton a big credibility boost among liberals who backed Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders by wide margins in the primary and who also adore the Massachusetts senator.
Warren also is intrigued by the possibility that she could be picked as Clinton's vice president but is not sure that it makes sense for her, according to the two advisers, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss her plans freely. Reuters first confirmed Wednesday that Warren would indeed endorse Clinton.
Hillary Clinton had kind words for rival Bernie Sanders, who vowed to remain in the race, as she claimed her spot as the presumptive Democratic nominee Tuesday night.
Warren is ideologically closer to Sanders, but she is also a pragmatist: It's been clear for months that Clinton would win the nomination because Sanders was unable to gain traction with minority voters who make up a large part of the Democratic electorate.
Sanders has not conceded the race, and that means Warren must be careful. Coming out in support of Clinton too forcefully while Sanders supporters still believe he could somehow become the nominee at the Philadelphia convention in July could backfire and cause them to turn on Warren.
Obama, with an array of potent attributes — including better voter approval ratings than both Clinton and Trump — also can help shepherd the millions of passionate voters who rallied to Sanders into the Clinton fold.
Obama's role as high-level mediator will be tested Thursday when he meets with Sanders at the White House. The president's press secretary announced the meeting — which Sanders requested — late Tuesday after Clinton claimed the mantle of presumptive nominee in a speech before thousands of supporters, eight years to the day that she conceded the Democratic nomination to Obama.
For Obama, being succeeded by a Democrat next January would be a capstone to his own eight years in office and would protect what he sees as his most important accomplishments — lifting the economy out of the direst recession since the Great Depression and passing landmark legislation expanding health care and overhauling the rules governing Wall Street.
He rolled out a preview of his critique of Trump's candidacy last week.
"If we turn against each other based on divisions of race or religion, if we fall for a bunch of okie-doke just because it sounds funny or the tweets are provocative, then we're not going to build on the progress that we've started," Obama said in Elkhart, Ind., a solidly Republican congressional district.
Obama obviously "has a huge vested interest in the progress we've made over the last eight years," said a person familiar with the president's thinking.
The other obvious point is the stature a sitting president brings to the campaign trail — something the Republican nominee can't match. Obama will serve as a powerful validator, telling voters that Clinton is up to being commander in chief, Clinton and Obama allies say. Obama will be out there highlighting the stiff challenges of the job "and how the nominees measure up to what it takes," said the person familiar with Obama's thinking.
The refrain coming from Clinton and Obama camps Wednesday was that Sanders needed to be given the space to end his primary bid on his own terms, which the Vermont independent said Tuesday included fighting for every vote in the last primary election of the season, the Washington D.C., June 14 contest.
"It's clear we know who the nominee is going to be. I think we should be a little graceful and give him the opportunity to decide on his own," Vice President Joe Biden said of Sanders on CNN.
When Sanders does step aside and Obama is free to hit the trail, political observers and insiders say he brings a uniquely potent mix of strengths.
"He has popularity and extraordinary talent [campaigning] . . . and he is zeroed in on the voters Hillary needs most," said Democratic strategist and former Bill Clinton aide Paul Begala, who advises pro-Clinton super PAC Priorities USA Action. "Sanders voters are critical," he said, and they overlap significantly with Obama's base of voters — namely younger liberals, particularly young men, especially white ones.
Obama's popularity could suffer if the economy were to slide into a recession, or if he were challenged by a world crisis or terror attack. But since March, Obama's favorability ratings have hovered around 50 percent — making him far more popular than either party's presidential candidate. Political scientists say past evidence shows there's a strong link between an incumbent president's approval rating and the success of that same party's candidate in open seat elections such as this year's contest.
"Presidential elections are always to some extent a referendum on the incumbent president, even when the incumbent is not running," said Alan Abramowitz, a political science professor at Emory University.
And the extremely divided nature of US voters means that Obama's 50 percent approval rating translates to something like 90 percent approval among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, he said.
"Obama should be very helpful to her at first in unifying the party after the primary is over, and that's obviously the first challenge that she faces — and maybe the most important one really," said Abramowitz.
He said Obama can also help excite Democrats in crucial swing states such as Virginia, Ohio, Florida, and Colorado, where Clinton's success could hinge on voter turnout.
Obama and Warren aren't the only important surrogates Clinton will be able to lean on in the months ahead. As former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau put it in a recent blog post, "Clinton's primary victory will allow her to assemble a Democratic Dream Team" that includes her husband, former president Bill Clinton, a skilled campaigner who has been dubbed "explainer in chief" for his ability to boil down the arguments for why voters should support a cause — a talent the former president deployed to help Obama win reelection in 2012.
Obama's endorsement will unleash Vice President Biden with his appeal to blue-collar voters.
Warren has also shown herself skilled in the unique combat in which Trump engages, clashing with him on Twitter in ways that have heartened nervous Democrats.
But many Democrats believe no one is quite as skilled as Obama when it comes to skewering the real estate mogul, pointing to his epic takedowns of Trump at several White House Correspondents Association annual dinners.


Inflatable advertising man is just what you need to get people to notice your business.
Running a business is no piece of cake today, be it a conglomeration or a small family business. The amount of headaches and labor involved is the same. The big trouble with any business of today is getting people to notice it.
One of the many reasons why people just fail to take notice of a business is because there are just too many businesses offering the same kind of product or service. The competition has become so stiff, that people, find it almost as good as impossible to differentiate between one business and another, unless of course the business is a leading global brand. But not all businesses are global brands and thus, if you are an owner of a small business, you need to get people to notice you.
The big problem faced by businesses today is getting people to notice them. One of the other reasons why people do not notice businesses and what they are selling is because people have no time as they are already stressed out and suffering from information overload.
So, in order to make people notice your product or service you must actually shout out in their face. Now of course, you cannot physically shout out – you need to so make people notice you and you can only do this is by getting their attention. And one of the best ways to get the attention of people is by using a giant inflatable in the shape of a man.
Just imagine this – you are the owner of a pizza restaurant. You can get a 10 meter tall (even taller), inflatable made in the form of a worker cartoon. You can get this made in any color you want, you can even get it made so that it has a 3D effect. And you can get it done in such a way that it glows in the dark. Call 1-800-791-1445 for an inflatable advertising balloon.
Such a giant inflatable man would have a tremendous impact on your business. People driving by and searching for pizza would at once know of your restaurant. Also, the dancing balloon could become a kind of a landmark in your area and people would use it to remember other things in your area. But most of all they would recall your business. In this way such an inflatable advertising man could be used to promote and advertise all kinds of businesses and generate more sales for the business.

Robert Bailey: Honoring Through Art
By Larry W. Bledsoe
Robert Bailey attended College of Art in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.
The paintings of aviation artist Robert Bailey reflect his fascination with planes, trains, antique cars and people. Usually landscapes filled with plenty of action, each tells a story of human drama, often in combat.
An artist fellow with the American Society of Aviation Artists and a member of the Canadian Aviation Artists Association, Bailey was born and raised in England, where he later attended College of Art in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. He then immigrated to North America and now lives in Canada. He says his father's tales of battles in North Africa and Italy originally inspired his work.
One of those stories resulted in the painting, "Breakthrough at Cassino." The scene depicts fighters from the 27th Fighter Bomber Group flying over the Italian city of Monte Cassino. The lead plane is a P-40 Warhawk flown by 1st Lt. Ralph Giovanniello; under his left wing is Capt. Robert M. Johnson in his A-36 Apache. Giovanniello and Johnson are two of five 27th FG pilots who have co-signed this print. Below the planes, in the battered city of Monte Cassino, are both American and British tanks preparing for the final battle.
Bailey effectively uses light to showcase the P-40 and A-36, the primary subject matter of this painting, and a Sherman tank in the center foreground. Is it coincidental that the sunlight shining down on the aircraft also hits the spot where the tank sits, or did the artist have another motive for showcasing that tank? He did; it was his father's tank. Bailey is very proud of his father and was honoring him in this dramatic painting. Incidentally, Trooper James Bailey signed all the artist proofs in the edition.
Robert Bailey uses each scene to elicit different emotions from the viewer. He shows the drama and harsh reality of war in a picturesque story. He uses light to effectively set the mood of the scenes. Whether you're a war buff or not, you can feel the visual impact this talented artist can impart.
"Mustang Menace" reveals a different aspect of the Mustang's versatility. It shows P-51 Mustangs from the 357th FG attacking ground targets in eastern France during late August 1944. The lead plane is "Passion Wagon," flown by 1st Lt. Arval Robertson, who was with the 362nd Fighter Squadron. Robertson and four other 357th FG pilots have signed each print.
Mustang Menace" shows P-51 Mustangs from the 357th Fighter Group attacking ground targets in eastern France during late August 1944.
This fighter group was assigned to the 8th Air Force and made its combat debut on Feb. 11, 1944. Their home base was Leiston, England. By the time they flew their last combat mission on April 25, 1945, they were credited with shooting down 595.5 enemy aircraft. This record, exceeded only by the 56th FG, made them the second-highest scoring 8th Air Force fighter group. Their final score included 19 Me 262s, of which one was credited to Capt. Chuck Yeager.
Another high-scoring fighter group in the European Theater of Operation was the 352nd Fighter Group, which is the subject of Bailey's print "Bluenose Bounce." This group ended the war with 504.5 official aerial victories and destroyed another 287 enemy aircraft on the ground.
Fighters of the 8th Air Force attacked German aircraft in the air and on the ground, wherever they could find them. In this scene, the artist shows Lt. Bob "Punchy" Powell leading one such ground attack as the Mustangs from the 352nd FG hit the German airfield at Herbeville, France, on April 28, 1944. Unfortunately, Powell's wingman, Lt. Jamie Lazing, was shot down during this attack and taken prisoner.
Bailey has also honored the Tuskegee Airmen in a couple of his prints. One of them is "Tuskegee Junction." The Tuskegee Airmen were proud, dedicated and talented. They were the cream of the crop. They had to be, in order to survive the rigors of training and graduate from the Tuskegee training facility in Alabama. This painting depicts Mustangs of the 302nd FS that have finished their escort duties and were then looking for targets of opportunity.
Since trains were always an important target for fighter pilots, it's not surprising that these Tuskegee pilots came across a busy Austrian marshalling yard near Vienna. After selecting a train with a long line of box cars, 1st Lt. Charles E. McGee began his strafing run. One or more of those cars carried ammunition that exploded under the hail of 50-caliber bullets from his Mustang's six guns. The explosion forced the following Mustang to climb clear of the flying debris and shrapnel from the exploding munitions.
Robert Bailey has honored the Tuskegee Airmen in a couple of his prints, including "Tuskegee Junction."
Part of what makes Bailey's paintings so popular, in addition to the dramatic story being told, are the signatures of those who participated in these events. Bailey says each painting begins with an idea, followed by contact with a prospective signee who took part in the action to be depicted. After many telephone conversations with the war veteran, and receipt and study of research material, Bailey spends about two months painting the oil-on-canvas. The average size is 30″ x 46″.
Another of Bailey's prints is "Morning Thunder," which depicts P-47 Thunderbolts of the 84th Fighter Squadron, 78th Fighter Group attacking a German aerodrome in late 1944. This is one of the few prints that he has done that is not co-signed by participants of the action depicted. However, it's an intriguing depiction of Thunderbolts in action and representative of the increasing aerial presence of 8th and 9th Air Force fighter planes that became more aggressive over Europe before and after D-Day in 1944.
One of his most recent prints, "America's Century," shows the 100th BG's B-17s coming off the target at Ruhland, Germany, on Sept. 11, 1944. That day they lost 12 crews. The 100th BG had the reputation that few of its crews ever completed 25 missions, the normal tour of duty. Mainly, because many believed that the Luftwaffe had a special vendetta against the group.
However, reading through the group's history in Edward Jablonski's "Flying Fortress" provides a better understanding why the group suffered unusually heavy losses in the beginning. They entered combat at a time when the bombers were sent to targets that were beyond the range of fighter escort. They were often assigned the position in the bomber formation that usually suffered the brunt of the Luftwaffe attacks, and their air discipline over enemy territory wasn't up to expectations. Once fighter escorts were available to and from the target, and under new leadership, their losses weren't much different than other groups, but their "Bloody Hundredth" reputation stayed with them.
One of the most impressive aspects of Bailey's work is his effective use of light in telling the story. Even his night scenes are alive and detailed and not overwhelmed by the darkness, which is a difficult balance for any artist to achieve. But more importantly, his paintings are about people and the trauma they lived through, both on the ground and in the air. His paintings help us remember, and honor, those who made a tremendous sacrifice for our freedom.

Patches - Cumulative or do I need to apply all?
With the release of the latest patch for ESXi 5 - Build Number: 504890 - when I build a new ESXi Host do I need to apply the earlier (Build Number: 474610) patch or can I go straight from the basic ESXi 5 install to patch 504890?
I am fairly sure they are cumulative - so I don't need to install the earlier patch but thought best to confirm.
1. Re: Patches - Cumulative or do I need to apply all?
They are cumulative so you only need to apply the lastest patch. ESXi contains two firmware banks. When you install ESXi the partition Hypervisor1 contains the release install and Hypervisor2 is pretty much empty. When ESXi boots Hyperviser1 is mounted as /bootbank and Hypervisor2 is /altbootbank. When you patch ESXi the new firmware is written to /altbootbank and when ESXi is rebooted, Hypervisor2 becomes /bootbank. If there's a problem with a patch you can press Shift+R during the initial boot screen to revert to the prior viersion of ESXi that you had installed.
2. Re: Patches - Cumulative or do I need to apply all?
I didn't know about the Shift+R, so thank you for that as well and the info about the partitions.
3. Re: Patches - Cumulative or do I need to apply all?
Also, I observed, because of the flaky nature of my boots, from a USB stick, is that if the next boot, after applying the patches does not complete normally, then the following boot reverts back to the original boot bank, so the prior version is loaded automatically.
I'm not sure, if at this point the Shift+R would force it to use the new bootbank, as I didn't know about that either. I just re-applied the patch, and rebooted, with fingers crossed.
4. Re: Patches - Cumulative or do I need to apply all?
The download size for patch ESXi500-201111001 is smaller than the previous patch ESXi500-201109001. Seems a bit suspicious. Also, the bulletin list column doesn't seem to reference the prior fixes for each new patch. The download page surprisingly doesn't address this at all.


Unlimited Korean BBQ places are sprouting everywhere. They charge anywhere from P300 to P500 per head. With this in mind, I ask… is it still worth going to the non-unli Korean BBQ places? My answer is a resounding YES. My favorite Korean BBQ places after all are Sariwon and Yoree, both of which do not offer unlimited BBQ. I've reached a point where I would rather pay for quality. I will eat until my hunger is satisfied, not eat myself senseless. Of course I still enjoy the occasional unlimited BBQ but I don't force myself to wolf down more than the normal amount I eat.
Last Saturday, my daughter and I went to the grand opening of Soban K-Town Grill in SM Megamall.
Given my current K-Drama addiction, Korean food is a very welcome treat!
All the tables come with the utensils you need to cook and eat.
That day, my daughter and I tried the Mega Meat BBQ Set (P1,000 for 2 people). It comes with unlimited banchan (side dishes). They served us 6 different kinds. Banchan differs on what ingredients are available. That day we had salad, peanuts with dilis, kimchi, omelet, mashed sweet potato, and spicy bean sprouts.
You also get a bowl of soup and up to 2 servings of steamed rice per person.
Mega Meat is right. You get a Large Fresh Woo Samgyup.
Then a Large Fresh Samgyupsal.
Then we get 2 Small Samgyupsal or Dak Galbi (any flavor). Since I don't really like chicken we had a Soy Garlic Samgyupsal.
For our other Small Samgyupsal, we tried their new Honey Spice flavor.
You get unlimited lettuce to wrap your meats with.
I like the movable tabletop exhaust at Soban K-Town Grill. It's very efficient. You don't smell too much like barbecue after your meal.
Wow, the quality of the meats at Soban K-Town Grill is really good! Everything was tender and a pleasure to eat. I didn't have a hard time cutting the samgyupsal to bite-sized pieces.
Now this is my favorite way to eat barbecued meats — wrapped in lettuce, with slices of garlic, and some doenjang paste.
With the Mega Meat BBQ Set for 2, each person can get 360g of good quality meat. It's actually just right for 2 adults. In fact, we were unable to finish the last Small Samgyupsal plate. I think P500/person is a fair price to pay for what you're getting — unlimited banchan, rice, soup, and almost 800g of good quality meat. We will definitely be back!
Should you line up for Tiger Sugar Philippines?
Merienda time with Cheez Whiz!


The Watershed Planning Guidebook for Kentucky Communities, first edition (2010), is a wonderful resource for watershed groups across the state. The Guidebook is the result of a KWA project with the Kentucky Division of Water and stakeholders from four community watershed groups. These groups used the draft version of the Guidebook to write watershed plans for their local waterways. KWA and the Kentucky Division of Water then used the groups' experiences and feedback to revise the Guidebook. The finished product is a Kentucky-specific Guidebook that has been field tested and approved!
It is an invaluable tool for all levels of watershed planning – from local groups just getting started with a creek clean-up to incorporated groups writing a watershed plan. The idea is that any group, anywhere in Kentucky, can pick up the book to find answers on all things watersheds. There is even a "Watershed Basics" section to review big concepts and explain the fundamentals.
Please read, copy, and disseminate Guidebook chapters and materials. The hotlinks found throughout the guidebook are links to useful resources.

Pondering Playboy: Berfrois Interviews Carrie Pitzulo
by Russell Bennetts
Carrie Pitzulo is Assistant Professor in the Department of History at the University of West Georgia. Her current book, Bachelors and Bunnies: The Sexual Politics of Playboy provides a social history of the magazine.
Berfrois
How radical was Playboy for postwar America?
Pitzulo
I'm not sure I would use the word "radical." I would say that in the 1950s, Playboy was subversive in various ways: It celebrated free sexuality amongst single, "nice" girls, which was contrary to so much of postwar popular culture. Mainstream culture in those years acknowledged women's sexuality, but insisted that marriage was its only appropriate outlet. But Playboy, whatever the motivation, selfish or otherwise, sent a message that good girls like sex, too. The magazine even subtly championed tolerance for homosexuality in the mid-1950s.
In the 1960s, Playboy became explicitly political and maintained a liberal stance on the various issues of that decade; civil rights, Vietnam, women's rights (including abortion and access to contraception) as well as speaking out strongly in favor of gay rights, which at that point in time was a potentially radical stance.
However, what keeps me away from that word in a broader sense, concerning the whole of the magazine, was its intense consumer emphasis. That was right in the mainstream of American culture in the prosperous postwar years. Even as the culture moved toward the left in the 1960s, and critiques of capitalism grew more prominent than they had been in decades, Playboy defended consumption. It's only tweak of consumer ideology was to say, in the face of criticism, that Americans should consume wisely (with consideration for the environment, etc.), but Playboy continued to promote consumer capitalism as a worthy goal.
Also, Hugh Hefner never actually wanted to be radical. He wanted to create a sophisticated, sexy magazine for middle-class men. His goal was to create a lifestyle guide, and to make it one in which straight men's interests in beautiful women could co-exist with their other, non-sexual interests. The only way to create that "classy" men's magazine, as many people have called it, was to avoid radicalism.
Could this combination of promiscuity and consumerism then be seen as a response to that era's "crisis" of masculinity? The highly-sexed American cold warrior versus the Soviet man of little purchasing power.
Absolutely, although for mainstream culture the idealized cold warrior wouldn't have been termed "highly sexed". He would have been conceived as virile and heterosexual, but been pressured to channel that sexuality into marriage.
This is where my history of Playboy begins, with the supposed crisis of masculinity in the 1950s. America was rapidly changing; less men working in heavy industry, manufacturing or agriculture and more working at desk jobs. Women were increasingly leaving the home and exercising power, particularly economic, in the public sphere. And while men seemed to lose a hold on traditional power at home, the Cold War created a cultural need for a strong, virile American masculinity.
These competing pressures led to what many historians, as well as people at the time, termed a crisis of masculinity: What does it mean to be a man in this changing world? Playboy answered this question by telling American men that they need not live up to the pressures of the day, which were to get married, become a father, and work to provide for your family. Playboy said that men could stay single, as there was nothing wrong with self-centered bachelorhood. This is where the term "highly sexed" would have entered into the conversation. But the magazine shielded its ideal man from the tensions of the early Cold War. The inaugural issue told its readers that its goal was to get men to lighten up and have fun, to forget about the stresses of the day; both domestically, in terms of the pressures of marriage and family, and globally, in terms of the existential threat of the nuclear age.
Quite literally, in its early years Playboy responded to the era's masculine crisis by disparaging marriage and womanhood, by saying that men were victims of a marriage-obsessed culture and of castrating women who were taking over the country. But that attitude was pervasive in America in the 1950s, not at all unique to Playboy, and the magazine generally abandoned that hostility in the 1960s.

What was responsible for this shift in the magazine's attitudes? The hiring of Auguste Comte Spectorsky? Or did Hefner have a change of heart himself?
The hiring of Spectorsky in the late 1950s was significant. He was from the New York literary scene and insisted on raising the level of sophistication in the magazine. After that, Playboy really began to take itself more seriously. By the start of the 1960s, the magazine had reached a million subscribers per month and was blossoming into a cultural empire: Book publishing, consumer items, resorts, clubs and the like. America itself was becoming politicized with the civil rights movement and very soon the various student movements. The Playboy editors and staff were generally liberal or even radical, in terms of their individual politics. All of this converged to make Playboy a leading liberal publication in the '60s.
Hefner, while engaged at every level of production of Playboy, wasn't significantly politicized – or so the story goes – until he got whacked in the rear-end by the cops during the Chicago convention riots in 1968. But realistically, even before that, Hefner was editorializing in a very political manner. He wrote a series of rambling editorials (over two years' worth) in the early 1960s, known as The Playboy Philosophy. In the Philosophy, Hefner discussed all manner of issues he considered relevant to contemporary society, such as topics of sexuality, censorship, and the Cold War.

And this was the start of the period when Playboy began attracting such illustrious contributors as Vladimir Nabokov, James Baldwin, Jean-Paul Sartre and Malcolm X.
Indeed, that literary/journalistic reputation increased in the 1960s, especially when they began the celebrated interviews. But the attempts, literary and otherwise, to make the magazine "classy" were there from the start. This was how Hefner hoped to make commercial sexuality classy. He felt that (straight) men's interests need not be separate; that men are interested in various things, including beautiful women. But Hefner thought that conservative American culture denigrated sexuality and an interest in it; that men were forced to indulge those interests in separate places, and hide their interest in sex. He wanted to bring all those things – sex, jazz, fine dining, and so on, together in one respectable place. So good literature and beautiful naked women were put side-by-side.
In the book you explain how, over some time, Betty Friedan developed almost a truce with Playboy. But do you still anticipate some feminists taking issue with you aligning the magazine as an ally for their cause?
Yes. Most people have been open to considering my argument, particularly when they acknowledge the vast evidence I've presented. A few people have been quite offended even by the premise, though. I've always identified with feminism, so I certainly understand some people's difficulty with accepting my argument. I'm not saying that Hugh Hefner should be considered some kind of feminist icon. Rather, I'm saying that we already know the anti-feminist elements of the magazine. That story has already been told.
What I discovered in my research (to my great surprise) was that Playboy had a lot of pro-woman, even feminist messages in its pages than anyone has given it credit for. That part of the story hasn't been told. I'm just arguing that if we want to understand Playboy as a historical phenomenon, we have to broaden our analysis of it to include both sides of the story.
This is not an expose about Hefner's personal life, which many of my own critics have cited as anti-feminist, because his day to day life is not what affected millions of Americans' minds every month; his magazine did. And that magazine was much more complicated than traditional assumptions have acknowledged.
Do you think his magazine continues to affect millions of minds every month? I.e. Does it remain relevant?
Playboy continues to have millions of readers each month, although nothing like its circulation rates at its peak in the early 1970s (down to about 2 million from 7 million). As far as its cultural relevance goes, I think it is primarily relevant as a brand and consumer experience, and that is primarily for young women. The E! television network's hit show, "The Girls Next Door" is popular with many young women, and that has been a boon for the company. I recently asked some of my female undergrads what Playboy means to them. They said that their association is – because of that show – of girls going to parties, meeting celebrities and having lots of fun. And they wear pink all the time, and have fluffy pink bedrooms. Most of them did not admit to ever having seen the magazine, and the fact that the girls on the show apparently sleep with the octogenarian Hugh Hefner was irrelevant to them. I think he is not at all threatening to them (because he is so old), so that part doesn't really matter. It's the image of partying and fun. Although one girl eventually added something to the effect of, "We want to please boys, and apparently that is what boys like."
Otherwise, the branding is a huge money-maker around the world, and the Playboy Clubs are re-opening after 25 years, most recently in London. I think at least part of that is the retro, throw-back appeal. Even the website for the London Club uses on its homepage a pic of Hefner and Bunny waitresses – from the 1960s! It remains relevant to our own time by reminding us of the past. As a historian, I find that strange and fascinating.
How did/does the magazine cope with the popularity of free, easy access internet porn?
It has had a hard time keeping up. The company, under Christie's leadership, had ventured into soft-core video porn for straight couples in the 1980s. Playboy was one of the first major magazines to go online in the 1990s. Again under Christie's leadership, the magazine tried to appeal to more women by including more profiles (even nude) of celebrity women. So these things, plus branding, were the ways Playboy tried to remain solvent and relevant in light of the shrinking market of the past 15 years or so. But Christie and her father finally gave in in the early 2000s and went into hardcore video porn. That was a line that Hefner resisted for a very long time.
What do you see as the future for Playboy?
Good question. Somehow, the Playboy mystique has had its ups and downs, but continues to be re-invented. When I interviewed Hefner in 2006 he expressed great satisfaction in the way Playboy has become relevant to young women. Carrie Bradshaw of "Sex & The City" wore a rabbit-logo charm for a season! Otherwise, at least for the time being, that retro quality seems to be its new path in terms of consumer/cultural experience, and that is directly attributable to "Mad Men". It looks like the Clubs will continue to re-open for this reason, as well as for the fact that though younger people don't know much about the old empire, they seem to associate Playboy with some kind of fun, sexy lifestyle, particularly associated with celebrity culture. The real question is what will happen to the whole thing when Hefner isn't around anymore. My understanding is that he has strict parameters already laid out for that inevitability, and he has good longevity genes, so he'll likely be around for a while more.
Janet Pilgrim as "Miss July, Playboy, July 1955. The caption in part read: "We found Miss July in our own circulation department, processing subscriptions, renewals, and back copy orders. Her name is Janet Pilgrim and she's as efficient as she is good looking."
Who is the preeminent Playmate?
My first thought would be Marilyn Monroe – the inaugural Playmate, although in those early days she was called the Sweetheart of the Month. Although, Marilyn Monroe never actually had anything to do with Playboy: Hefner bought from a photo company the rights to photographs Monroe had taken several years before her fame. He used them as his first centerfold and the magazine was a hit. After that, the first year or so of centerfolds were other images that came along in a package of rights with the Monroe photo. They were all standard "cheesecake" photos; no props, no setting, on a bearskin rug or something. Those were the first Playmates.
But there was a significant change with Janet Pilgrim, so she's got to be the ultimate Playmate. She was plucked from Playboy's own ranks in 1955 and was so popular she appeared as Playmate three times. She really represented the iconic Playboy formula – her first centerfold showed her in a recognizable setting (a bedroom), with the silhouette of a man in the background (Hefner). It was supposed to suggest that she was an average, accessible, real woman. That set the standard for all other Playmate centerfolds until today.

HOMESTEAD (KDKA) – A total of eight people were taken to the hospital after a delivery truck and Port Authority bus collided on East Eighth avenue near Dickson Street in Homestead.
All eight suffered minor injuries and were passengers on the Port Authority bus.
Homestead Police believe the driver of the delivery truck caused the crash shortly after 5 a.m. when he was trying to find the post office.
"He was making a delivery of mail. It wasn't a mail truck. In his searching for the post office, took his eyes off the road. At that time, that's when the truck veered over the center line," said Homestead Police Chief Jeffrey DeSimone.
The delivery truck struck the driver's side of the bus, cracking the windshield and smashing in part of the frame. First responders on scene said they spoke to the driver of the delivery truck. They said he told them he fell asleep at the wheel.
The drivers of both vehicles walked away from the scene uninjured.
"The accident scene investigation will continue and charges will be determined pending the outcome of the investigation. The bus should be repaired and hopefully put back out on the road as quickly as possible," said Port Authority spokesperson Adam Brandolph.
The Port Authority is handling the investigation.

Seen this on Pinterest and found out how to create my own. Made this one for my daughter. I used the gel medium process to transfer it to a piece of plywood.
I used the gel medium transfer technique on this canvas. I have done it on wood before and it turned out well. Not a real fan of doing it on canvas though. I had to touch it up quite a bit to get it this way. I put Washi tape around the edges. I will stick to just the wood from now on.
I added washi tape to the edges and some ink to give it an aged look.
This was such a simple project. I love when I can complete a craft project in just a few hours. I am definitely a very impatient crafter.
I had the glass block on hand. I am still trying to use up items that I have had in my craft room for years. Slowly but surely I ma dwindling down the clutter.
I had order these cute gold wire lights that I inserted into the glass block. Then with a little Tulip Paint I painted a snowflake on the block. I sprinkled it with gold glitter and that was it.
Such a simple idea for Christmas Decor. Wine Bottle, Glitter paint, twine for the top (I rubbed some distressed ink on the twine) and glitter for the tree. I might add a star to the top.
I got the inspiration for this wine glass from Pinterest of course.
The Keeper of the Cheerios has a great page dedicated to painting these wine glasses.
I used the same glitter paint that she recommends on her page.
My Santa! Even after I grabbed the pink paint instead of the red for the first coat...it still turned out great.
And my cute little penguin...my favorite one.
Of course I was inspired from Pinterest.
I managed to talk the hubby into cutting apart some pallets I had on hand.
I took a strip of wood for how tall I wanted him to be and screwed the pallet boards to it.
I just kind of eye balled it until the lay out looked like I wanted it to look.
Then I drew my circle shapes out for the head, middle and the bottom. I just put a screw in the middle and used the sting and pencil method to draw them on the boards.
For some reason it didn't really come out even the first time I did it so I measured and put some marks to make it easier to draw out.
The hat is a strip of wood with two short pieces of pallet wood screwed to the back. Painted it black and add some bling to it.
The eyes were some brackets from an old shower caddy I didn't want. I keep any little pieces of stuff that might come in useful one day.
The nose is a spoon, bent and held behind the board. I didn't paint it because I liked the natural look of it.
I spray painted him white. It took 4 cans of paint. I think next time I will brush paint instead.
Painted the buttons and then attached a miniature tree ornament I had on hand.
Got the inspiration from all the wine glasses on Pinterest.
A painter I am not. I tried making a pattern and taping it inside the glass...did not work. So I just free handed it from the picture I drew. I used oil based paint pens. Any mistakes came off easily with rubbing alcohol. For the most part I guess it turned out pretty good.
I got inspiration for this project from Pinterest.
We had some scrap pieces of wood that I used. You could use pallet wood to this too. Painted it a pale green and then used a darker green chalk to add some shading to the look.
I decided to do the letters using the wax paper method. It went fine until my printer decided to die. I did the remaining by tracing them using carbon paper. I outlined the letters with a sharpie and then painted them.
I lightly sanded the letters and the edges of the boards. Applied some miniature Christmas snowflakes ornaments. Painted a wooden star silver and glued a miniature gold star to the center.

Steven Tyler Helped Spark Guns N' Roses Reunion?
. (Classic Rock) Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler has revealed how he helped Guns N' Roses reunite - by offering advice to Axl Rose that had been given to him by Jon Bon Jovi.
Singer Rose, guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan will perform together in April for the first time since 1993, with appearances confirmed in Las Vegas and at the Coachella festival. The rest of the band's lineup is yet to be confirmed.
Tyler tells Howard Stern on SiriusXM: "I did meet Axl in a couple of clubs. I had that talk. I said, 'You need to get back together again soon, because we all miss you.' Same thing someone said to me when Joe Perry and I were fighting - in fact, it was Jon Bon Jovi.
"I'm in rehab. He calls me up and goes, 'What the f*** are you doing? The world needs you. We're out here ripping it up and everybody's asking for Aerosmith. People in the world need you.'"
He adds he told Rose: "You've got to get it together. There's a place and a time where, if you don't, you're going to miss it. In another four or five years no one's going to even know or care - and that's Steven Tyler's opinion." Read more and stream the full interview here.


HARRISBURG — Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf on Tuesday said he was optimistic the Republican-controlled Legislature can produce a deal to patch a projected $2.2 billion budget gap in the coming days and end a nearly three-month stalemate.
Lawmakers authorized nearly $32 billion in spending on June 30 and have grappled ever since with how to fully fund it.
Wolf said he believes leaders of the House and Senate Republican majorities are on board with getting a deal done and signed by Oct. 1, before Pennsylvania's battered credit rating gets another downgrade and he must delay more payments for lack of cash.
There is a lot of ground to cover before then.
Wolf and the lawmakers who back a tax increase to help prop up Pennsylvania's finances shy away from using the words "tax increase." Instead, they try to use the term "recurring revenue" to refer to a new source of money that provides a reliable cash infusion every year — such as a tax increase.
The Senate, backed by Wolf, passed a roughly $550 million tax package that hit Marcellus Shale natural gas production; electric, natural gas and telephone utility customers; and sales through online marketplaces like Amazon and eBay.
The House rejected any sort of tax increase when it passed its plan. Instead, it wants to siphon approximately $630 million from accounts for environmental protection, mass transit and other programs explicitly created by lawmakers and given their own source of dedicated funding.
Wolf opposes that plan, and Senate Republicans say just $140 million of that amount is actually available and not otherwise committed to a project.
In July, the Senate backed a revenue package based on borrowing $1.3 billion in a securitization arrangement, to be paid back over 20 or 30 years.
What that really means is borrowing $1 billion upfront in return for giving the lowest bidder — an investment bank or hedge fund, perhaps — the rights to a certain slice of state revenue for up to 10 years.
Senate Republicans, Democratic lawmakers and public finance professionals say such a transaction is nothing more than borrowing and would likely carry a higher effective interest rate even than a traditional securitization agreement because it shifts some risk to the lender.
House and Senate leaders seem to agree any revenue package can rely on at least $200 million in one-time license fees from what they call "gaming." That means counting on another expansion of casino-style gambling in the nation's No. 2 commercial casino state, an expansion that lawmakers haven't even approved.
Wolf and lawmakers already counted $100 million in fees toward last year's budget from some sort of future casino gambling expansion. They were unable to agree on legislation to do it.
Wolf on Tuesday said he's cutting "over $2 billion to streamline government," a claim he began making in February when he proposed a budget for this fiscal year. However, Wolf's definition of cuts and streamlining is a broad one.
It includes perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars in cost avoidances that might have materialized anyway, such as revisions in future cost projections for medical care under Medicaid and hundreds of millions of dollars in transfers from a workers' compensation fund and a nonprofit organization created by state law in 2002 to offer medical malpractice insurance.


Anyone out there hoping to claim the fastest speedrun time for Fallout: New Vegas? It's not a common dream, I admit – but the bar has just been raised in a big way.
Speedrunner Kungkobra managed to fly through the Vegas based post apocalyptic romp in a breathtaking 19:52. How did they manage this feat? With glitches and various exploits, of course.
You can find a full list here, but some of the tricks used include playing the game in Italian as it's quicker than English, skipping NPC dialogue through quick saves, clipping through walls, and using an exploit that involves breaking his leg to gain a 152% speed boost.
It should be noted for any younger (or stupid) readers that breaking your legs in real life will not increase your speed in any way – unless you're lucky enough to know a scientist who can build you some kind of rocket fueled wheelchair, but those odds are slim.
Anyway, you can watch the run just below.
Twenty minutes in to a Bethesda RPG, I'm usually still deciding on the width and depth of my cheekbones, so well done to this guy for smashing through the game with such speed.

CKF advises 240 schoolgirls on careers growth
Christopher Kolade
Tare Youdeowei
The Christopher Kolade Foundation has held a Post-secondary Career Planning Conference for girls from 10 public secondary schools across Lagos State.
The conference held recently at Zone Tech Park in Gbagada, Lagos, saw 240 girls advised on building distinguishing traits necessary to succeed at job interviews and transitioning to responsible adulthood.
The Chairperson of the foundation, Mrs Beatrice Kolade said the conference was to create a platform for the schoolgirls to interact with industry players who would guide them on choosing a career. "We normally hold a valedictory program for our school leavers to train them to know that this is not the end of their school career. Although we are saying goodbye to them, we are saying to them 'there is still life ahead of you'. It is a career planning programme and that's why we have people to talk to them, like lawyers and engineers, to tell them how to make up their mind and choose the careers they want to follow."
Also, the Managing Consultant of the foundation, Omobola Lana said the conference was aimed at exposing the girls to the myriad career options they could pursue. "Our impact is really long term because the girls may decide to use technology to further their own respective parts. This is more of career exploration; we are trying to broaden their minds and as a result, we had to find partners who have personnel in those parts so they can come and share the experience with the girls.
"In one year of our experience, we have seen a change in the minds of the girl and their aspiration. We do not choose for their paths but we want to make sure they understand the paths they take as we make sure to keep track with them."
An attendee, Aderonke Ikumapaya, shared how the foundation had taught her to be bold as she was set to follow her dream of studying Electrical Engineering. "I have gained a lot from the leadership training on how to make up my mind and on technology. I want to study Electrical Engineering."
