I find it no coincidence that the Pacific Northwest is well known for both their production and consumption of fine microbrewed beer, and for their love affair with the coffee bean. It only makes sense really, that people balance one with the other to find their zen. Stimulant followed by depressant equals status quo, right?
Many smallish towns in these parts have their own microbrewery. And every inky-dinky, blink-and-you-missed-it, tiny-dot-on-a-map town has a coffee shack to keep the populous fruitful and productive.
In this spirit, we've been refining our personal coffee brewing skills, and have a few thoughts to share on the matter.
is the bomb. Kirstin's darling sister wanted to give us something useful to take on The Big Adventure, and she nailed it with this item: vacuum-insulated, stainless steel, Bodum French Press. It's simple, durable, doesn't require additional or disposable filters or parts, can be used to make tea, hot or cold-brew coffee (see previous post on this), and will keep hot coffee warm for hours. I don't know how much it cost, as it was a gift, but as I will almost always pay more for a superior product, this item is one that I would have paid a premium for.
Coffee thought #3: The Recipe. This is a work in progress, as we're constantly experimenting. This version will convert your Organic Rainforest Blend, or other suitably unsuitable beans, into a lightly spiced, not-quite-sweet, rich and energizing elixir.
Coffee thought #4: Best Coffee Mug Ever award goes to the stainless steel, insulated Contigo handle-less mug, as pictured above next to the French Press. These are the only travel-style coffee cups we've ever used that are legitimately leak-proof. They stand up well to abuse, fit great in auto cup holders, and keep stuff hot for hours. Best coffee mug ever. And also a gift from Kirstin's sister. Coincidence? Not really. That girl knows her coffee and coffee accessories.


Some merchants accept Discover, and some only accept American Express, Visa and Mastercard. Many banking institutions allow consumers the alternative to redeem points web track their points accumulations using username and password services. Having a record of coughing up in a timely manner and staying in a budget will cast you in the favorable light whenever you ask to raise your plastic card limit. Can a citicards login credit card – https://www.loginphone.org/citicards-login/ Card Company Sue You Over Non-Payment associated with an Unsecured Debt. A November 2010 MSNBC article reported that Capital One, one in the largest bank card issuers inside United. In most cases the greeting card issuer can help you, while it could involve changing banking account number to help keep the charges from dealing with. In certain cases a merchant need to keep copies of charge card receipts on hand for any period of your energy. Credit card fraud ends in billions of stolen dollars from the United States each year.
Do Credit Card Gift Cards Work for Online Purchases. These companies claim to reduce costs compared for some other services. JCPenney charge accounts can be obtained as a debit card issued by GE Money. However, you'll be able to ask for just a limit increase after you want it. When you uncover someone may be using your debit card information,. Each month, plastic card users be handed a statement in the card issuer that explains charges and requests payment. You can possess a Pay – Pal account not having a debit card or banking accounts by purchasing just what are called Money – Paks. A plastic card company heeds borrowers' default risk and establishes sound procedures to limit credit losses. If the strip is damaged, the appliance will prompt you to type in the account number printed around the face of the debit card. Having no established credit history is usually just as problematic as having low credit score.
Most in the calls are toll free on the United States or Canada. Having a secured charge card allows that you conveniently shop and gives you exactly the same charging privileges as being a traditional bank card. Unfortunately, there's no approach to set Pay – Pal to work with your plastic card as your primary method of payment. Often such products are listed as "found" on Craigslist, or left where these were found from the hopes that this owner will return. Avoid keeping your charge cards and password near one other. Obtaining a cash advance at a prepaid debit card is simple. Stopping payment on a bank card is referred to as a chargeback. You also want the most important card, when you need the maximum amount of reach as possible to produce sure the lock is disengaged. These calls are wonderful times to accomplish some research too: which cards can provide better fx rates. At some ATM machines, fake card readers or number pads have.

Q: How long an inactive Activity will store in memory and able to restore from savedInstanceState? I was wondering, is there a way to know roughly how long an inactive Activity will stay in memory, and able to restore from savedInstanceState?
The reason is that, for every Activity, I am assigning them an unique uuid, to accessing temporary persistence data from DB.
When user performs "proper" quit (By pressing back button), my system knows that the associated uuid is no longer being used, and able to clean up all associated data.
@Override
public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();

    if (this.isFinishing()) {
        // Perform uuid DB clean up and all associated data.
    }
}

However, when user put the Activity inactive state by performing HOME button place, we cannot just remove the uuid from DB.
As, there is a possibility that user can perform Activity restore at any time point. The uuid can be retrieved from savedInstanceState, and being reused again.
However, we must some how clean up the DB at some time. If not, the DB just grow infinity.
Our plan is assigning a timestamp for the uuid. Say, if the uuid is not being used within 3 days, we assume it is no longer associated with any active Activity, or any restore-able Activity. We can then safetly clear it out from DB.
I was wondering, is there a way/ or documentation to know, how long an inactive Activity will store in memory and able to restore from savedInstanceState? With such information, we can know how long we should wait, before marking an uuid as expired.
p/s
We do not save our data in savedInstanceState, as the size of our data is rather dynamic. It ranges from few kilo bytes to few mega bytes. Currently, we are encountering android.os.TransactionTooLargeException for some cases.

Gisgo (punisch Grskn "Schützling des Skn"; ) war der Sohn von Hamilkar dem Samniten und ein Beamter Karthagos um die Mitte des 2. Jahrhunderts v. Chr.

Als sein Vater zusammen mit dem Politiker Karthalo Anführer der demokratischen Partei Karthagos war, vertrieben beide gemeinsam im Jahr 151 v. Chr. die Anhänger des numidischen Königs Massinissa, die neben der demokratischen "Volkspartei" und den Parteigängern Roms eine dritte "Partei" stellten, aus der Stadt. Massinissa entsandte daraufhin seine Söhne Gulussa und Micipsa nach Karthago, wohl um die Rückkehr seiner exilierten Anhänger zu verhandeln. Nachdem der Boëtharchos Karthalo ihnen den Zutritt zur Stadt  verwehrt hatte, setzte Hamilkar dem abziehenden Gulussa mit Bewaffneten nach, brachte den Sohn des Massinissa in Bedrängnis und tötete einige von dessen Männern.

Massinissa wertete all dies als Vorbereitung eines Krieges, was den Karthagern laut dem Friedensschluss nach dem Zweiten Punischen Krieg ohne Zustimmung Roms strengstens verboten war. Rom wurde eingeschaltet. Es war die Zeit, in der Marcus Porcius Cato in den Senatssitzungen beständig sein ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam ("im Übrigen bin ich der Meinung, dass Karthago zerstört werden muss") vernehmen ließ.

Während der Anwesenheit einer römischen Vermittlungsdelegation hatte nun Gisgo, wohl in seiner Funktion als Beamter, die antirömische Stimmung, die sich in den militärischen Spitzen gegen Massinissa zeigte, noch angeheizt, obwohl die karthagische Führung längst bereit war, auf die Wünsche Roms einzugehen. Die römischen Gesandten mussten, um dem gewaltsamen Auftreten der aufgewiegelten Karthager zu entkommen, fliehen. Die herrschende Partei Karthagos versuchte vergebens, der bedrohlichen Situation durch die Opferung der verantwortlichen Militärführer und die Hinrichtung des Boëtharchos Karthalo, vermutlich auch des Hamilkar, zu entgehen. Doch Rom gab sich mit dieser Lösung nicht zufrieden. Wenig später brach der Dritte Punische Krieg aus (149–146 v. Chr.), der mit der endgültigen Zerstörung Karthagos endete. Klaus Geus schreibt dem Vater des Gisgo einen maßgeblichen "Schuldanteil am Ausbruch des 3. Punischen Krieges" zu.

Entranced by the dawn, Briny Lass slithered into the seethe, black and glinting like a seal, with a flash of lemon flipper. The waves were building. Energy flowed through the brine. She pummeled through the mint-green swell, on the hunt for sharks as they began their early-morn feed. When she felt a rush of lissome bodies sliding all around her, and spotted an eager pelican sweeping above with glazed blue eye keen on a meal below- she knew she had found the perfect place to loom and wait for a breach.
Two hours rolled by, the waters frilling with life, each back-lit wave brimming with the dark silhouettes of fleeing fish, but still no breach. Lone Surfer paddled happily past her, encased in contented oblivion. Some wave sets passed, and then, as the Old Salty Lass clambered up the glassy visage of a vast wave, there came a great roar shattering the din of the sea, just beyond. Exuberantly, she clawed to the top and was greeted by a sight of majestic splendor. Before her a great geyser of what seemed to be thousands of fish rocketed into the air, desperately trying to flee the ocean and take wing, to escape the death of the great gleaming maw of the most immense and powerful Shark the Briny Lass had ever met. He twisted toward the sweeping heavens, dancing on the wind, pirouetting like a ballerina, amidst the fountain of fleeing prey. There was a great crash like the sound of an orca's body colliding with the surface of the sea as the creature plummeted back into the depths.
And so the humans parted. It was not much longer before the barnacled old Briny Lass, too, was bound to recede back into the terrestrial life, as her three-hour session was coming to its end. Even as she made her way back, shuffled through the sands, and began beetling toward her old, wind-lashed, salt-encased, craggy, weathered abode by the sea, the vitative rush of euphoria still surged through her being, and she knew upon the dawn of the morrow, she and Shark would be compelled to meet again.

Entourage Decoder
7/3/2006 12:11 PM PT
It was yet another tumultuous couple days for Vinny and the boys on last night's episode of "Entourage."
Before you could say "ugly green ogre," Vince sent boyhood pal Dom packing with "a Hummer and an apartment" for stealing a priceless Shrek doll and now he has to make a momentous choice between playing drug kingpin Pablo Escobar and donning the wetsuit in "Aquaman 2."
As usual, of course, Team Chase did plenty of spending and name-dropping along the way, prompting us to wonder about that helicopter ride to Santa Barbara, the animation king, and all those scripts that Ari tossed aside like so many former assistants.
ART: Vince decides that he doesn't want to deal with traffic to get up to Santa Barbara for the wine soiree at chez Rubenstein, so he ferries the guys in style in a chopper. How much for the ride – and how much time would they actually save?
LIFE: According to Island Express Helicopters, an LA helicopter charter company, a round trip from Santa Monica Airport to Santa Barbara would be roughly $5,500, before any landing fees or taxes. And the journey is roughly 50 minutes, about half of what it would take from Beverly Hills to Santa Barbara – but without any traffic, which can add hours to the trip, as anyone who's gotten stuck on the 101 freeway can attest.
ART: To get the lead role in "Medellin," Vinny has to suck up to the "animation king," a Hollywood power player named Phil Rubenstein who brought "Shrek" and "Madagascar" to the big screen. Who is this Phil Rubenstein anyway?
LIFE: Well, he doesn't exist in the real world, but he's awfully reminiscent, at least professionally, of a certain Jeffrey Katzenberg, who really did produce "Shrek" and "Madagascar" as one of the principals of DreamWorks SKG, the studio he founded with Steven Spielberg and David Geffen. And like the fictional Rubenstein, Katzenberg's got plenty of coin: He and his partners sold DreamWorks to Paramount Pictures late last year for $1.6 billion. Oh, and by the way – a quick check on eBay turned up a high bid of $19.99 for a mint-condition Shrek doll.
ART: Ari flaunts the prestigious upcoming projects that Vince will be turning down when he does "Medellin," including "Flight," directed by Darren Aronofsky, and "Sandman," described as "'Being There' meets 'Lawrence of Arabia,'" helmed by David O. Russell. Will we ever see either of these projects in a theater near us?
LIFE: Probably not. According to the Internet Movie Database, Aronofsky's ("Requiem for a Dream") next project is "The Fountain," a science fiction-ish epic starring Hugh Jackman and Aronofsky's wife Rachel Weisz, which comes out later this year. David O. Russell ("Three Kings") will be directing Vince Vaughn in a comedy called "The H-Man Cometh," about a radio talk-show host who begins to take on his listeners' neurotic qualities.

GTR vs R8 V10 Plus vs 570s vs 911 Turbo S: You Won't Believe the Outcome of this Supercar Drag Shootout
Written by Brandon on May 4, 2017 in Articles, Videos
Production car drag races might very well be pointless when it comes to the overall performance of a car. But damn if they aren't entertaining as hell to watch. Especially when it's supercars lined up next to each other on an open runway where they can really get out and stretch their legs. It really comes down to the bragging rights of being able to say that your car is the fastest over a predetermined length of road.
Top Gear is no stranger to producing some epic drag race shootouts, but this particular one really sparked my attention because it has four cars that should be quite evenly matched, at least on paper. But as we all know, what's on paper doesn't always translate to what's going to happen when the rubber meets the road. Let's take a look at the contenders and some of the key features that might help them come out on top.

When you earn the nickname Godzilla or the Supercar Killer, you must be one bad S.O.B. And that's exactly what the GTR is, or should I say was. As phenomenal as the GTR is and as technologically advanced as it was when it hit the scene, it almost seems outdated at this point. And when you think about it, minus a few small updates here and there, it's still the same car that was released almost a decade ago. However, it still has a ridiculously powerful 3.8L twin turbo V6 that's good for 562hp and 469lb-ft or torque, that combined with an extremely sophisticated all-wheel drive system and launch control the GTR will repeatedly rip off 0-60 times around 2.8 seconds, which happens to be the fastest claimed time of the group. The top speed is listed as 196mph but you know you could push it to 200mph if you really tried. There was a time when it would've been a no-brainer that the GTR would come out on top in an all out drag race. But other car companies have stepped their game up so significantly that now it's the GTR that's playing catch up. Maybe in a way, we have the GTR to thank for the advancement in supercar performance because Nissan managed to change the game by having a car with that performance for such a reasonable price.

Like the GTR, there was a time when the Porsche 911 Turbo S was the pinnacle of off-the-line acceleration and was virtually unbeatable when it came to 0-60 times. I vividly remember back in the early '90s scouring the back of Motor Trend magazine where they listed the specs on pretty much every production car. I was fascinated with the 0-60 time and for the longest time it was the Porsche 922 Turbo, Turbo S, GT2, or some variation that was listed as the fastest with times around 3.6/3.7 seconds. Which was significantly faster than almost any other car at the time. But then other cars started to get better and for a brief period of time, the 911 Turbo sort of fell out of the limelight, likely during the height of the GTR's run. However, as of the past few years, Porsche has brought the Turbo back with a vengeance and now is making some of the best sports cars they've ever produced. Providing the oomph is a rear mounted 3.8L twin turbo flat six that produces 572hp and 553lb-ft. All that power is sent to yet another highly sophisticated all-wheel drive system that helps the 911 blast off the second fastest 0-60 time of the group with a time of 2.9 seconds. And with a top speed of 205mph, the Turbo S is heavily favored to win.
One of the newest additions to the supercar class is the 570S by McLaren. Technically it's the "entry-level" supercar in the Mclaren lineup but trust me, there's not a damn thing "entry-level" about it. This little 570S is a bad little car, not to mention it is absolutely gorgeous. I saw one at a local cars and coffee event in this spectacular shade of blue and it was simply stunning. Aside from the sexy body lines, the performance coming from the 570S is not even close to entry level either. Power comes from a mid-mounted 3.8L twin turbo V8 that puts out 562hp and 442lb-ft of torque. When it comes to the power delivery though, the 570S is at somewhat of a disadvantage in this shootout. That's because it's the only one in the group that doesn't have all-wheel drive and instead all that power is sent to just the rear wheels. Even with a high-tech launch control system, it should struggle to get off the line compared to the all wheel drive cars. The claimed 0-60 of the 570S is 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 204mph. Even though it might be slightly outmatched on paper, keep in mind the 570S did win the title of Best Driver's Car of 2016 so you never know what it might pull off.
Last, but most definitely not least, is the Audi R8 V0 Plus which has always been an extremely capable car. But as of the last couple years, it seems as if the overall performance of the R8 has drastically increased. Especially the V10 Plus thanks to its 610hp coming from the 5.2L V10 that is considered one the best engines in modern history. It's the same engine that powers the Lamborghini Huracan and Gallardo. That combined with the somewhat legendary Quattro all-wheel drive system allows the V10 Plus to crank off 3.2 seconds 0-60 times and run to a top speed of 205mph. Just like the other cars on this list, the Audi is no stranger to winning drag races. As a matter of fact, it even won the coveted "World's Greatest Drag Race 6" put on by Motor Trend where it beat the GTR quite handily and barely edged out the 570S. One could probably even argue that the Audi is probably the best-suited car for drag racing and therefore should be favored to win.
Now you can see why this particular drag race was so intriguing to me. All the supercars are so evenly matched that it's quite literally a toss-up as to who will come out on top. So place your bets because it's about to go down. Again, don't forget to comment below who you think will come out on top!

The London bombs also belong to the new Prime Minister
In his latest column for the New Statesman, John Pilger breaks the taboo of the latest 'potential' bombs found in London. They are prime minister Gordon Brown's bomb, too, the 'inevitable consequence of the lawless invasion of Iraq' which Brown backed and whose death toll now equals that of the Rwanda genocide.
Just as the London bombs in the summer of 2005 were Blair's bombs, the inevitable consequence of his government's lawless attack on Iraq, so the potential bombs in the summer of 2007 are Brown's bombs.
Gordon Brown, Blair's successor as prime minister, has been an unerring supporter of the unprovoked bloodbath whose victims now equal those of the Rwandan genocide, according to the American scientist who led the 2006 Johns Hopkins School of Public Health survey of civilian dead in Iraq. While Tony Blair sought to discredit this study, British government scientists secretly praised it as "tried and tested" and an "underestimation of mortality". The "underestimation" was 655,000 men, women and children. That is now approaching a million. It is the crime of the century.
In his first day's address outside 10 Downing Street and subsequently to Parliament, Brown paid not even lip service to those who would be alive today had his government – and it was his government as much as Blair's – not joined Bush in a slaughter justified with demonstrable lies. He said nothing, not a word.
He said nothing about the added thousands of Iraqi children whose deaths from preventable disease have doubled since the invasion, caused by the wilful destruction of sanitation and water purification plants. He said nothing about hospital patients who die every day for want of equipment as basic as a syringe. He said nothing about the greatest refugee flight since the Palestinians' Naqba. He said nothing about his government's defeat in Afghanistan, and how the British army and its Nato allies are killing civilians, including whole families. Typically, on 29 June, British forces called in air strikes on a village, reportedly bombing to death 45 innocent people – almost as many as the number bombed to death in London in July 2005. Compare the reaction, or rather the silence. They were only Muslims. And Muslims are the world's most numerous victims of a terrorism whose main sources are Washington, Tel Aviv and London.
And he said nothing about his government's role in Afghanistan's restoration as the world's biggest source of opium, a direct result of the invasion of 2001. Any dealer on the streets of Glasgow will have the stuff, straight from warlords paid off by the CIA and in whose name British soldiers are killing and dying pointlessly.
He said nothing about stopping any of this. Not a word. Not a hint.
Do the dead laugh? In the new Prime Minister's little list of priorities was "extend[ing] the British way of life".
The paymaster of the greatest British foreign policy disaster of the modern era, Brown could not even speak its name, let alone meet the military families that waited to speak to him. Three British soldiers were killed on his first day.
Has there been anything like the tsunami of unction that has engulfed the departure of Blair and the elevation of Brown? Yes, there has. Think back a decade. Blair, wrote Hugo Young of the Guardian, "wants to create a world none of us has known, where the laws of political gravity are overturned", one where "ideology has surrendered entirely to 'values'". The new chancellor, effused the Observer, would "announce the most radical welfare Budget since the Second World war".
The "values" were fake and so was the new deal. One media-managed stunt followed another as Brown delighted the stock market and comforted the very rich and celebrated the empire, and ignored the longing of the British electorate for a restoration of public services so badly damaged by Margaret Thatcher. One of
the first decisions by Harriet Harman, Blair's first social security secretary and a declared feminist, was to abolish the single parents' welfare premium and benefit, in spite of her pledge to the House of Commons that Labour opposed these impoverishing Tory-inspired cuts. Today, Harman is Brown's deputy party leader and, like all of the "new faces" around the cabinet table with "plans to heal old wounds" (the Guardian), she voted for an invasion that has destroyed the lives of tens of thousands of women.
Some feminism.
And when Blair finally left, those MPs who stood and gave him a standing ovation finally certified parliament as a place of minimal consequence to British democracy. The courtiers who reported this disgrace with Richard Dimbleby royal-occasion reverence are flecked with the blood spilled by the second-rate actor and first-rate criminal. They now scramble for the latest police press release. That the profane absurdity of the going of Blair and the silence and compliance of Brown – political twins regardless of their schoolboy spats – may well have provoked the attacks on London and Glasgow is of no interest. While the crime of the century endures, there almost certainly will be others.
A tribute to my mother My mother, aged 19, sold her books to pay the fare to her first teaching job in the bush. The currency of her generation was determination and courage.
A voice that shames those who are silent on Timor Last month Prime Minister Paul Keating launched a "trade and cultural promotion" with Indonesia. Surrounded by businessmen and representatives of the arts, Keating made an extraordinary speech that was praised in the Australian press for its "maturity".
THE MOST LETHAL VIRUS IS NOT COVID. IT IS WAR. John Pilger describes the invisible weapon of past and current wars, and the threat of nuclear war, under cover of the Covid pandemic. This is propaganda, aided by censorship by omission.


Do you have any fireplace mantel designs ideas? In fact, it has so long history. There's certain joy and pleasure to sit before the fireplace with your beloved in the middle of long winter night. You should know that fireplace has a long story.
For a period, fireplace mantel is a strong symbol of local domestic and social life. There are many materials for the mantel, but wood mantel has constantly gotten unique consideration by many architects and designers. For the reason, nowadays we see so many reproductions of certain iconic fireplace mantel.
There are ornamented fireplace mantel designs ideas, but you may find bare functional fireplace mantels. In America, Ornamental fireplace mantels are not usual in American houses before the Colonial era. The settlers on early America do nothing about cheering up their fireplace mantels.
They are absolutely utilitarian with their fireplace. As homes turn out to be more improved, fireplace mantels showed up in straightforward structures. The adorned fireplace mantles came into existence in America around Georgian period. Many big houses featured the fireplace mantels as an important showpiece of bold and classical styling.
Intricate carvings then began to be found on the big pilasters and column of the mantel. These elaborative adornments will sometimes be the centerpiece of the houses. And then, there are over-mantles fireplace mantel designs ideas. They are extremely regular.
Fireplace over-mantle frequently incorporates a rectangular structure and a second arrangement of pilasters supporting a pediment located above it. The cut and intricate carves of the wood fireplace was oftentimes tied into the ceiling cornice of the room.
Fireplace mantel designs ideas get the other development in the Federal era. In this epic era, you will find many great houses were adorned with extraordinarily rich fireplace mantels, though with a sense of controlled traditional details.
From then on, the essential proportion and basics rules of this type of fireplace mantle have turned into a standard since lots of mantels are designed in traditional style. This type of fireplace impacted to a great extent by the outlines of Georgian and Adam fireplace style.
It incorporated the essential fireplace mantel but in more refined structure. Mostly, Federal fireplace mantel types were straightforward and over-mantel is excluded. The frieze board were finished with festoons, urns and onlays carving.
Delightful carvings, intricate classic moldings and the utilization of build-up trim for the mantel shelf are trademark components of the Federal period of wood fireplace mantels.
Furthermore, we have Victorian fireplace mantels designs. These types are described by their deviation from the classical established standards of composition. The mantels utilize classical components, for example pilasters, entablatures, column, and the moldings.
However, these components were generously blended with Gothic patterns, charming Asian symbolism and spindle work. As the results, Victorian style is often seen to have intricate imaginative patterns, and regularly incorporate over-mantel with inset mirrors and display boards.
At last, amid the eighteenth century and onward, there are so many types of fireplace mantels. It is included the encased wood stoves fireplace types. It started to supplant the regular fireplace in America, mainland Europe, and Scandinavia.
The fireplace mantel designs ideas would then regularly be the element of a consolidated living and kitchen layout. It is included also hot plates for cooking. The latest development is central heating system via radiators.
When it comes for rustic interior decorating, using wall brick is a nice touch. It makes the interior has warm atmosphere. Using brick effect wallpaper is considered as the best way to incorporate brick design due to its minimal maintenance.
Real brick wall is commonly difficult to maintenance since the brick is easily eroded thus weakens the structure. You might not be able to get the same feeling of touching real wall brick if using such wallpaper.
However, brick wallpaper remains able to make your home interior feels warm as it goes with wall that uses brick. Here are something you need to consider when you want to create warm atmosphere and rustic feeling of particular room with such wallpaper.
When it comes for selecting proper wallpaper, the first thing you need to take into your consideration is the color scheme. The brick effect wallpaper commonly consists of natural crimson bricks color with gray cementing paste between those bricks.
Despite this design is popular, wallpaper manufacturers are also producing brick wallpaper with different color scheme. Since various options of brick wallpaper color scheme are available in the market, choose the best one that will match your interior design.
Use the furniture and decoration that you previously put in the first place on your interior as the main consideration. Ask yourself a question of whether the furniture and decoration will come along nicely with the chosen wallpaper color scheme.
After considering about the color scheme, move to the second thing to consider when choosing brick effect wallpaper. It is about the pattern it uses. Some of you might realize that wallpaper with brick design only uses default repeated crimson rectangular shapes in such a way and gray space between them. The downside of this repetitive design will create the boring atmosphere.
For those who feel the same impression, there is a simple solution for this problem. Choose the brick wallpaper that contains more details. Instead of only using simple rectangular in crimson color, you can select wallpaper pattern that has realistic pattern on it.
The realistic pattern of brick wallpaper design will be able to eliminate boredom of repetitive thus making your interior more impressing. Once you have decided particular brick wallpaper to install, you need to do this process carefully. Misplaced wallpaper will obstruct the interior design.
Despite brick effect wallpaper has plenty features, it also has disadvantage as well. You cannot replicate the same touching sensation of real brick wall. Since most homeowners only care about the impression it creates, you can also ignore the functionality aspect of this wallpaper.
You can use any material to create the stunning appearance of wall, including canvas. Ton of canvas wall art ideas are available on internet. You just need to pick and try to apply the suitable one.
There are two ways to put canvas as art on wall. You can make it at your own or buying product at store. Both of them have advantages and disadvantages.
Creating art is not as simple as it looks, but it's worth to try. If you do not find painting and drawing, writing becomes good starting point. Get canvas ready and write your favorite quotes or words.
As part of canvas wall art ideas, writing on canvas can be done by everyone and many interesting result will come up. As you know, people have different way of think and feel which is represented on canvas art.
Abstract binding is the next method to create attractive art using canvas. You can collect canvas with different colors and patterns. Cut them one by one in the same size then arrange them to produce rectangular shape.
This method can be extended with various shape by cutting the canvas. You can try to cut without definite size, but prepare big plate canvas as basic layer. Arrange and bind into this layer.
If the previous abstract style is placed on certain big size, another expanded style will be more random. There is no base layer for cutting canvas because you bind it on wall whatever you want. It is like kids playing with paper and they are free to put it anywhere.
You can turn canvas into photo frame and bind it on wall as canvas wall art ideas. Instead of having frame on top of cabinet, you can rely on this canvas to let photo stay on the wall without hanging it. You can expand again this idea with photo story that tell your life from past to present.
If wallpaper is too much for wall, using canvas is preferable. Canvas can be used as wallpaper replacement to cover particular spot on the wall. After that, you need to do painting with several colors.

There are many turquoise home décor ideas you might try for your home. But first, you need to know the advantages of applying this color theme. Turquoise represents calmness, purity, and smoothness. Applying this theme on your home will make you really feel at home.
Turquoise is basically a combination of blue and green. It represents the natural forest and the deep of ocean. It is such an outstanding combination for your home.
This color is highly recommended for those who have small room, since it will make it looks wider. However, it also works well for wide room.
There are at least four tips and principles in playing with turquoise home décor ideas.
First, you need to be subtle. Subtle means that you don't have to give bold color. Smooth color or accent will be stunning as long as it is supported by other parts of the decoration.
Second, make sure that the accessories are matching to the walls. Turquoise color will speak louder if you add the accessories with similar tone. It is possible for you to put ottoman or lampshade on the room while applying turquoise home décor ideas. In addition, you can play a lot with pastel, soft blue or soft green in the curtain.
Third, spread the turquoise accents over the room. This tip can be done by spreading the turquoise touches evenly over your room. It gives better representation than grouping the items in one place.
Fourth, let the light brighten up your room. Light can be produced from direct sunshine and lamp. This step is purposed to make the characteristic of turquoise totally out.
Notice those four directions whenever you are going to apply turquoise home décor ideas. Now, it is time to apply it on the real home situation. The mission is redecorating your living room with turquoise theme.
You need to prepare paint with turquoise, pastel curtain, blue ottomans, standing lamps with soft green, and carpet with soft blue. Apply turquoise color on your wall with brush. Do it gently in order to get the best coating result.
Next, hang in the pastel curtain following the window. It is better to have high window to create wide perception on your room. The turquoise home decor ideas continue by situating the carpet on the exact position.
Then, locate ottomans or sofa on the central point on your living room. Add two standing lamps on each sides of the sofa. These items work well to support the turquoise accent and act as the lighters.
It is time for you to apply these turquoise home décor ideas at home. It won't spend much money since you can reuse and recycle old items with turquoise colors. Represent the deep ocean and fresh forest in your house and you will feel really like at home.

Not only will you be breeding your own unique artificial life forms, called Norns, but you will be able to connect your computer, through the internet, and form a part of a vast online world through which your Norns can wander at will. Raise and train a troupe of cuddly virtual life creatures that live on the Capillata space ship. Because they have neural network brains, Norns can be taught right from wrong, but because they also have their own, individual personalities, they may not always do what you want (or even what you expect!).

BEIJING, China – Naomi Osaka made the startling admission on Monday, October 1, that winning the US Open was "bittersweet" and "not the happiest memory" and revealed that she has been trying to forget about the career-defining victory.
"There's a lot of stuff I want to say about how I felt and whatever," the world No. 6 said.
"Right after, the day after, I really didn't want to think about it because it wasn't necessarily the happiest memory for me."
"I just sort of wanted to move on at that point."
"When you bite into it, it's sweet, but also very strong – that's how that memory feels to me."
"Of course I'm happy that I won a Grand Slam, I don't think there's anything that can take away from that... but I feel like it was so strange, I didn't just want to think about it."
"I wanted to just push it to the side."

Financially struggling Birmingham & Solihull rugby club looks for rescue plan
One of Birmingham's top rugby clubs looks to be slipping towards liquidation after taxmen restarted action to wind the club up.
But Birmingham & Solihull Rugby Football Club, whose first team, the Bees, are three games into the Championship season, says it has found a way out of its problems.
The club has been desperately trying to raise money to stave off the demands of the Inland Revenue.
A petition to wind up the club was called off in August after directors struck a deal with the taxman. But the action has now been restarted, and the club has until a court hearing on October 7 to try to protect its future.
Last week the club hastily convened a meeting to try to find ways to raise money, and said it was putting together a plan on how to save the club.
A similar meeting held in August resulted in members pledging almost £60,000 to keep the club going.
A spokeswoman for the club said: "The board of directors called a meeting with its members and debenture holders at Sharmans Cross Road. Having been in discussion with the Inland Revenue about the precarious position the club is in, its financial difficulties are now well documented.
"Two proposals came forward from a group of members which could save the club, however, more work needs to be done to expand and consolidate their potential and their ability to deliver.
"Discussions with said members and the board are urgent and ongoing. At this stage the board are unable to expound on the nature of these proposals." The club, which has just started playing in the second tier of national rugby, has been struggling financially after the planning committee at Solihull Council turned down an application to sell off the club's Sharmans Cross Road ground.
The sale would have raised millions for the club, and there were plans to share a ground with Solihull Moors FC at Damson Parkway.
In August the club paid £50,000 to the taxman after the directors lent it the money. But the club was told it still owed more than £100,000, with £15,000 due by the end of the month. Other creditors, including a catering and marquee company, were also owed thousands.
For a short while the players were not being paid. The club has had a difficult financial history, and in December 2006 players threatened to go on strike.
Yesterday saw the Bees lose their fourth game of the season, going down 53-17 against Nottingham.

The Arctic Council Ministerial Meeting, which took place last week in Reykjavik, saw the signing of what the Chinese press agency Xinhua called a "major outcome": the adoption of a first ten-year strategic plan for the region, reflecting "the shared values and joint aspirations of the Arctic States and the Permanent Participants, to advance sustainable development, environmental protection, and good governance in the Arctic, and restoring the position of climate change concerns in the agenda of the Council". China, the biggest emitter country of CO₂ worldwide, is an observing member "only", although the nation is also developing "prominent activities" in the high north and "playing a much more assertive role unilaterally", as CNBC puts it, quoting a Russian official.
This environmental issue adds to others, also expressed at the meeting, "about some of the recent military activities in the Arctic", said US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The meeting came as Russia's extensive development of an airbase at Nagurskoye is causing concern in the West, recalls Euronews (read below).
These news pieces reminded me of my trip to Greenland in 2008, during which I had the exceptional chance to visit DYE-2 station, one of the many long-range radars installed by the US in the Arctic during the Cold War. In 1988, this dome-station was abandoned in a snapping-finger instant – literally! –, its occupants leaving milk packs and beers in the kitchen fridges and balls on the snooker table.
Hopefully, the Arctic, a region that is definitely attracting a lot of attention, will not be the theater to another military escalation, so that western soldiers return to this station lost on the gigantic ice-cap as quickly as they left 33 years ago.

Farewell, Columbus
July 14, 2015 June 3, 2016
V: Guys, I'm going to be honest with you. This post was hard to write.
Columbus has been my home for the majority of the last 8 years, so I have an intrinsically complicated relationship with it. This city- the capital of the heart-shaped state- is where K and I met and fell in love, where we both graduated from The Ohio State University, and where we have made so many beautiful friends and connections. Personally, I have moved 6 different times within the city's limits. Now, we plan to leave it for good and move forward to our next adventure. Naturally, we are both happy and sad to go. We are indescribably grateful for all the things we've experienced in this place, and all it has done for us. However, we sense it is the time for new places and new opportunities. This post is written as a farewell tribute and also a bit of a travel guide for those who plan to visit or see a little more of the city's magic.
The way the city is divided makes it quite difficult to describe as one single entity. With the University in the center, it is spread out into several unique pockets.
There's downtown, which is mostly dominated by businesses and the mecca that is Nationwide Arena, although there are a variety of festivals near the Riverfront Amphitheater, as well as COSI Science Exploration Center (which is neat if you're a big kid like me who never wants to stop discovering).
In historic German Village, you can walk on cobblestone streets, take a stroll through Schiller Park, and stop for matzos ball soup and a pickle at Katzinger's Deli. Note: it is much more like a Germany of 40 years ago, though charming nonetheless. Oh, and don't forget Pistacia Vera for irresistible dessert macarons!
You can visit the farmer's market, find some unique local gifts at Wholly Craft, have a slice of Pattycake, or go antiquing in my favorite little bohemia of Clintonville.
You can visit the Short North for a walk in Goodale Park, awesome food and drinks and Gallery Hop the first weekend of every month.
You can hang out in the Brewery District and walk along the Scioto Mile for a gorgeous view of the river and the city skyline.
Of course, there is my own neighborhood of Old North Columbus, where I have always been able to find a friend at Kafé Kerouac (where the drinks are literarily inspired) or you can buy used books and records, attend game nights, poetry slams, music events and beer tastings. There's always a pesto pizza with my name on it at Houndogs and a black raspberry chip milkshake at United Dairy Farmers (UDF).
And that's just the tip of the iceberg! If you are willing to do the research, Columbus can have a lot more to offer than you would expect.
Columbus has become a sort of mecca for foodies like myself in recent years. The city is just overflowing with places for delicious locally sourced produce, fresh food, unique sweets, and craft beers. I'll list some of my favorites at the bottom of the post, but suffice it to say, I still can't resist the classics like a good scoop of Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream or a Northstar burger. And, there's plenty for people with dietary restrictions. So, my fellow vegetarians; vegans; gluten-free dairy free folks- all of us can rejoice!
North Market is a good first stop for a little sampling of everything, and lots of the most famous restauranteurs in the city got their start with just a little stand at the market. Be sure to stop at Omega (my little bakery) for some quality artisan bread and killer croissants, too.
A favorite date spot is Café Bella, an Italian-Mediterranean restaurant where the menu changes daily and the owners will serve you a 4-course meal depending on what ingredients are in season, grown locally and on hand.
The spots I love the most are the rare spots of green. A bike ride down the Olentangy Trail- stopping to pick wild flowers or a Saturday afternoon spent reading at Whetstone Prairie or Park of Roses. I've had so many amazing picnics alongside the fountain at Goodale Park, and I've taken countless friends to see the butterflies or the glassblowing at Franklin Park Conservatory.
Sundays are free at the Columbus Museum of Art, and I have seen some amazing exhibits during my time here (especially the Rothko!). Wexner Center of the Arts is always a must-see. The gallery is now featuring Catherine Opie, but has over the years been home to Andy Warhol, Annie Leibowitz, and even Les Wexner's own personal collection. They do unique movie screenings (often independent films and documentaries) at the theater there and at the Gateway Film Center. Studio 35 is an independent cinema and bar that lets you eat and drink while you take in first-run films and cult movies. There's also live comedy and a troupe that does Rocky Horror the first Saturday of every month.
The people make this city, though. I truly believe that some of the kindest souls in the universe reside here and I know I have people who would do anything for me.
Anyways, Columbus, I love you. I will let K say his piece and leave you with some photos and a nice round-up of the best spots!
K: Columbus is strange because it's so spread out. The campus district is so huge that you can't experience the spirit of the whole place. The city becomes subsumed by the giant Ohio State amoeba, which can be frustrating. It will be even more frustrating if the university "develops" more of High Street. That will squeeze more of the character and flavor out of the area. Some of the things that I hold dear about this place will soon be gone for good.
But let's not get sad yet. On and off, I've spent about six years here in the city. That's a lot of time to be in one place. It's where I grew up, and learned how to be a real person. I met some of my best friends here. It's where V and I got together.
But how do you write about a place in a way that does it justice? Some of my favorite places in this city are well-trafficked. yet things that you would walk right by without noticing. Most important for me are locations that allow me to maintain presence of mind or clarity, places to relax. These are the landmarks for me. And, in my years here, I found them in spades. Now I share them with you.
For example, the evergreen trees near the Drake Theater on campus. This was one of the first places I discovered on campus. I could almost see it from my dorm room, and decided to climb it. It was an isolated pocket from the bustle of main campus, an excellent place to escape the frustrations of living with people you don't know well. That year, I read many books in the arms of this tree, halfway up, alternating between the page and the view of the river. I finished 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' during a windstorm.
There's also the secret quiet of the Percussion Studio. You'd think it would be clattering with sound at all hours, but it's eerie quiet. Discovering this place was remarkable. I was minoring in music, and wanted a place to practice. There were no leftover practice rooms, and I had some counterpoint to work out. Luckily, I found the studio. It was an enormous room filled with vibraphones, marimbas, a gong, pianos. A dream. I'd later go on to use the room to record an album for my band, for a friend, and to demo innumerable songs.
And then there's the bigger, non-university institutions that hold up Columbus.
I developed my knowledge of cinema, graphic novels, and poetry from the Columbus Library system. It gave me the idea to start writing down the books I read (something I still do today). I spent my time at Northside and at the main branch. People voted it the best in the nation for a reason, perhaps because it has a lenient fine structure. I only had to buy two books because they were so overdue. I was happy to pour some money into their pockets though.
The Library Bar is an ancient place that only recently banned smoking. Yes, despite state laws. It was the favorite of my friend group after we were old enough to drink. I'm sure it's been full of weirdos since the beginning. I love the dinginess, the grime, the sleaze. It's like a midwestern Tom Waits song, instead of Los Angeles.
Cornerstone is the go-to restaurant in the area. It's got everything' french fries and pad thai, bagels and salads, soups and sushi. It's a hybrid deli-sushi bar-pan Asian restaurant. We've negotiated friendships, leases, and cross-national moves here, over Americanized Chinese food and the din of police officers, churchgoers, and hip Clintonville couples.
Columbus is giant, but small enough that you run into people you know everywhere. There's secrets that take years to discover, but you can apprehend the good and bad qualities rather fast. I feel like I've just now got my bearings, and now I have to leave.

A perfect cube is an integer whose cube root is also an integer. For example 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, etc. are examples of perfect cubes but 9, 25 and 113 are not. Given two positive integers A and B, your task is to calculate the number of perfect cubes in the given range between A and B inclusively.
Each test case consists of a single line containing two integers A and B separated by a single space. 1 ≤ A ≤ B ≤ 2,000,000,000.
For each test case, output contains a line in the format Case #x: M, where x is the case number (starting from 1) and M is the number of perfect cubes in the given range between A and B inclusive.


We will be standing outside the steps of the Supreme Court today at a press conference to deliver thousands of "Restraining Orders," urging the Supreme Court not to undermine our votes and our values by redefining marriage by judicial fiat.
We are also calling on Congress to use the Constitutional remedy provided to restrain federal judges and the Supreme Court from redefining marriage.
This judicial usurpation has fueled a government assault on the constitutionally protected First Amendment Rights of pastors, business and facility owners, employees, public officials, ministries and citizens.

California rethinking 'tough-on-crime' enforcement
By Jeffrey Benzing | October 6, 2014

California voters could be changing their tune on tough-on-crime laws that have packed the state's prisons and strained its pocketbook, The New York Times reports.
In 1994, voters cracked down on crime with a "three-strikes" law that authorized life terms even for minor felonies if an offender had two previous serious convictions.
But in November, voters could decide to reclassify many nonviolent felonies as misdemeanors, meaning fewer offenders would serve time in state prison.
Supporters of Proposition 47, which would reclassify the crimes, say the tough-on-crime approach has failed.
According to the Times story:
"Law enforcement has been on an incarceration binge for 30 years, and it hasn't worked," said George Gascón, the San Francisco district attorney and a former police chief who, bucking most of his counterparts around the state, is the main sponsor along with a former police chief of San Diego. For the large numbers of nonviolent offenders with mental health or substance abuse problems, Mr. Gascón said, "Incarceration doesn't fix the problem."
Prison overcrowding is a national problem.
In Pennsylvania, the Department of Corrections is at 108.6 percent capacity, with 51,001 inmates, according to population figures from August. This total includes 880 state inmates in county and federal facilities.
At the end of last year, the state's prison population was 51,512 inmates, up slightly after dropping in 2012.
By contrast, the state housed 9,420 inmates at the end of 1981, according to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
Pennsylvania also has a three-strikes law, though enforcement is relatively rare because the state has more stringent criteria that must be met before life terms are triggered.
The Morning Call in January reported that the law is almost never used.
Facial recognition use spiked after the Capitol riot. Privacy advocates are leery.
The Capitol riot marks another notable moment in the ongoing facial recognition debate.
The facial recognition app Clearview AI saw an increase in use the day after the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol, the New York Times reported.
'I just kind of hate being blindsided.' Jail Board requests records provided to media, asks to be better informed
Allegheny County Jail Oversight Board members are learning about key issues at the jail through the media, according to comments from two members at their monthly meeting Thursday.
Following a PublicSource investigation about missed medications and long wait times to receive medical care at the jail, board member Bethany Hallam requested during the meeting that the board regularly receive jail schedules and medical waitlists that PublicSource used in its investigation. "I learned a lot of the things I've been wanting to learn about things happening at the jail through a journalist, and that has been happening a lot lately," Hallam said.
"It's a great P.R. thing when the Legislature passed it, but I don't think it's been used," John Morganelli, district attorney in Northampton County, told the paper.
However, Pennsylvania law requires mandatory life sentences for offenders convicted of first- and second-degree murder. Lifers are not eligible for parole. First-degree murder offenders can also be sentenced to death.
Jeffrey Beard, secretary of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, served as secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections from 2001 until his retirement in August 2010.
On the federal level, the Justice Department reported that the prison population dropped for the first time in decades. Attorney General Eric Holder has backed prison reform efforts to lessen punishment for non-violent offenders.
If passed, Proposition 47 would be retroactive, the Times reported, meaning thousands of inmates would have prison time reduced. Money saved would be earmarked for drug and mental health treatment, the story said.
With about a month until election day, opponents have been vocal.
According to the story.
"Virtually all of law enforcement is opposed," Chief Zimmerman said. "It's virtually a get-out-of-jail-free card" for 10,000 felons, many with violent histories.
She and other opponents have zeroed in on two details: Stealing a gun worth less than $950 and possessing date-rape drugs would no longer be automatic felonies.
California is already housing state inmates in county jails in an effort to ease overcrowding, the Times said. In 2012, voters revised California's three-strikes law so life terms were triggered only by the most serious felonies.
