Rhode Island fans need only wait a little longer to relive the glory of this summer's Women's World Cup. On September 14, veteran players from across the smallest state will converge in its smallest city for the fifth annual Central Falls Mundialito Soccer Tournament, a competition that every year does more to match the fever pitch of its namesake (Mundialito, in Spanish, literally means "little World Cup").
Fans and players who turn up to the Cowden Courts in Central Falls will quickly find themselves enjoying a bite to eat, listening to a local DJ, and cheering on their preferred team in the intense bouts of small-sided soccer on the newly renovated asphalt court. The participation of local elected officials like Central Falls Mayor
James Diossa does much to keep annual expectations high, but this year, excitement for the competition has reached a new level.
"Every year, I have been able to grow it," said Mundialito founder Tatiana Baena.
Inspired by the success of previous iterations, Tatiana has expanded the one-day format to include a full six-week season of competition that will culminate with its traditional winner-take-all final. Providing teams an opportunity to build chemistry, and rivalries the chance to take root, Tatiana sees the extended season as just the next step in a process that has seen her vision evolve from an idea to a local institution.
The tournament "has always been about a little more than just soccer," says Tatiana. It is designed to highlight "the diversity of our state and our city."
An idea originally hatched during Tatiana's participation in the New Leaders Council fellowship, the tournament already raises enough money to provide two graduates of Central Falls High School, her alma mater, with a $500 college scholarship. But for Tatiana, the past few years have only been just the beginning: Looking forward, she hopes to add more opportunities for young people to get involved by hosting a one-day tournament just for them or even a youth summer league.
The plans may seem ambitious for the self-styled "little World Cup", but Tatiana has already proven that the Mundialito intends to play in the big leagues.

An infuriated friend reported recently that she had been "gaslighted." Fearing the worst, I asked if she had suffered second- or third-degree burns. But it turns out that gaslighting has nothing to do with actually catching fire.
As I should have deduced, but did not, without having to look it up, gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse, in which false information is conveyed in order to make a victim (or others) doubt his or her cognitive ability.
The allusion is to the film Gaslight (based on a play called Angel Street by Patrick Hamilton) that was first produced in 1940 and remade in a more famous version in 1944, starring Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman (and a teenaged Angela Lansbury). Boyer's character methodically attempts to drive his wife (Bergman) insane, or at least to make others believe she is mad, partly by frequently causing the gas lamps in their Victorian-era house to dim and flicker for no apparent reason.
Such a manipulation of someone's environment to disorient them is what is known nowadays as gaslighting. It may take the form of denial by an abuser that previous incidents ever occurred, or it could be the staging of bizarre events by the abuser. It has become a colloquial expression that is now used in clinical and research literature.
The Bard of Buffalo Bayou, who for much of his life has been lit (but not by gas, which is an entirely different problem for him), goes, when he is able, with the flow, as follows:
If someone stabbed me in the shower,
Then I guess that I'd be Psychoed.
And if a gecko made me cower,
You could say that I was Geicoed.
If you should burn my favorite sled,
I guess that I'd be Citizen Kaned,
Serve a big dead rat to me in bed?
Well, then I would be Baby Janed.
But the most horrific notion,
The one that really makes me panicked,
Is of drowning in the ocean,
For then (glug, glug) I'd be Titanicked.

Elliott Wald has had numerous television appearances proving time and time again how he can help people overcome their intense phobias. Elliott earned his name and reputation as 'The Hypnosis Expert' by walking his talk, he has demonstrated his incredible skills in hypnosis by helping people in the streets of London overcome their fear and phobias for his show 'Instant Changes'. He has starred as the Hypnosis Expert on ITV This Morning Show's phobia week, live on air helping people he has never before met overcome their phobias and fears.
You can view a selection of 'The Hypnosis Expert' at work from many of his appearances on the right hand side of this screen.
A phobia is a persistent, irrational fear of, and a desire to avoid, certain object/s, animals, events or situations. The word is derived from the Greek word "phobos" meaning extreme fear and flight. The ancient Greek god, Phobos, was believed to be able to reduce the enemies of the Greeks to a state of terror, making victory in battle more likely.
You are not born with a phobia – it is a learned response. A response that you have simply programmed into your mind, when confronted by the phobic stimulus and sometimes, even the anticipation or thought of the situation is enough to provoke the response and the person then begins to experience the classic symptoms of panic attacks. Using hypnotherapy, Elliott can re-programme your thoughts, change your associations and replace them with new, more appropriate feelings.
Belonephobia or the fear of needles is very common, in fact 10% of the UK population experience a phobia of needles. Perhaps you have to, or want to give blood or require an inoculation to travel abroad or you need an operation, but the fear is just too much which in turn leads to the avoidance of needles or even necessary medical or dental treatment.
Maybe just the very thought of having or needing an injection causes you to panic and you become light headed or even faint? The good news is hypnosis can help you overcome your needle phobia by removing the unconscious response that you have, as it is a learned response and with the aid of hypnotherapy, you can learn how to re-programme your feelings so you feel comfortable around needles.
On the right hand side you can watch 'The Hypnosis Expert' Elliott Wald helping a lady with a needle phobia live on ITV This Morning Show. Watch as Dr Chris Steele MBE presents the needles to her, this is a lady who had such an intense phobia of needles that before the programme started, she couldn't even enter the same room knowing the doctor had a needle and syringe in there. Using hypnotherapy, you can overcome your needle phobia and change the way you think and feel about needles or injections, leaving you feeling mentally relaxed, calmer and much more confident.
After watching Elliott helping phobic viewers overcome their fears, this is what the presenters said:
It does not matter how long you have been living with your fear or phobia or how severe it appears, hypnotherapy can help you overcome them. Elliott has been using hypnotherapy for over sixteen years, helping hundreds of clients to overcome their fears & phobias.
Clients visit The Hypnosis Expert Elliott Wald from all over the UK and Europe.
His clinic is conveniently located in Luton Bedfordshire, just 5 minutes from the M1 Junction 10 click here for a map. For clients coming by train 0.5 mile from either Luton parkway station or Luton Mainline station. For clients flying in from Europe the clinic is only 10 minutes from Luton Airport.

A very odd Mysterio story title, "Spider-Man Goes Mad." Mysterio, without the fishbowl, drives Spider-Man crazy. Literally. Really not much to say here, but it's a good comic.
What I love about this is the Ditko hallucination illustrations. Some of them are clear: Sandman, Vulture.
But then there's these random creepy images at the sides of the panels….Like the black cat above. And an upsidedown sequence–I think the first every in comics.
Very psychedelic. Very cool. Very Ditko.

Marvelous has revealed more information on what we can expect from its forthcoming PlayStation Vita title Luminous Arc Infinity.
First, we are given a brief overview of the game's story;
'The world of Luminous Arc Infinity revolves around a group of girls known as "The Nine Pillars of Lapis." Together, the Nine Pillars reign over the world and maintain order within it. By praying to Lapis and power their magic power into it, they ensure that the world remains preserved.
Once a year, imperial rites are held in this world. People come from all over the world in great numbers in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the emperor, crowding around inside the castle grounds during the leadup to the ceremony. Seed, a young man who trained under his master to become a Tone Echo Specialist, pays no heed to these crowds and decides to take a nap in a nook within the castle.
Soon enough, though, trouble arrives in the form of Amadeus, a shady organization whose members are disguised from head to toe in masks and robes. When Seed manages to save a girl that they attempt to kidnap, he finds himself on a path that will greatly change his life.
Thus Seed eventually sets off in search of the Pillars' songs as he travels around the world.'
We are also told about the game's flow and its characters. The game's cast features the aforementioned Seed (who certainly lacks motivation), a doctor/inventor called Pulse and an oppai witch called Violette;
- Seed (voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto) – Lacking both motivation and the ability to open up to others about his feelings, Seed does have other attributes that do benefit him. Blessed with a sense of kindness and justice, Seed also has hearing so strong that he can hear other people's heartbeats when in a quiet environment.
- Aqua (voiced by Yu Sarizawa) – With no self-confidence and an apparent shyness, Aqua (Seed's younger sister-in-law) is a worrier who is always mindful of her older brother. It also appears that for someone of her age, Aqua still has a tendency to be childish at times.
- Pulse (voiced by Misaki Kuno) – Pulse is a doctor who also managed to invent a seemingly super technological machine. Although Pulse focused on research from a very young age, she is not very street smart. With most of Pulse's time spent on inventing, there is little time for her to sleep. This makes her an excessively tense character.
- Violette (voiced by Yukana) – Magic, smarts, style, looks, she has it all. On the flip side, she tends to be a bit of a downer, but as someone rich in life experience with a natural knack for looking after others, she can nevertheless be counted on in a pinch. But pit her against an enemy and she becomes an especially cold and cruel person.
Luminous Arc Infinity will feature a number of systems that are typical to those found in an RPG, such as;
- Events – In Floatia, players will control the protagonist Seed and can enjoy everyday life with the other characters. As you progress through the story, various events and quests will occur.
- Battle Briefing – Before going into battle, you can choose which character you're taking along. Players will be able to customize the abilities of each character.
- Battle – Battles are turn-based. Your actions' timing depends on the command selected during your turn. This is an original system made for strategic battles. Additionally, given that the protagonist is a "Tone Echo Specialist," he can support other characters with various commands.
- After Break – The familiar "After Break" system, in which you can become closer with other characters, returns. Through this, you can enjoy conversations with characters who participate in battle, and depending on the content of the conversation, the character's intimacy level will increase.
Keep an eye on The Vita Lounge for more Luminous Arc Infinity news as it happens. For now though, why not check out some images from the game in our gallery below?

We put great effort into understanding our customers' needs. We believe that facilities operational plans, objectives and targets have to be directly driven by customer needs.
By Aleya Harris
For some industries, a business's facilities may have more influence on its financial health than is obvious. In order to gauge that impact, you must fully understand both the operational goals and priorities of the business; and the fundamental requirements of its employees and workspaces.
Detailed knowledge of facilities and their internal systems is becoming a specialized area of concern for more organizations. Facilities managers are uniquely positioned to inform planning and decision-making at the highest levels.
Facilities managers are entrusted to take responsibility for what is, for most companies, their most important and valuable single asset. However, many executives regard facilities as non-working assets, sunk costs that don't play a role in their performance, or sales goals—regardless of whether that's accurate.
Facilities managers need to be able to effectively contribute their specialized knowledge and perspective to the overall business strategy planning. To do this, it is incumbent on them to educate themselves in several areas that fall outside the general remit of facilities management, such as:
The company's overall business operating environment.
Goals and attitudes of top management.
Market positioning and objectives.
The perspectives of customers, shareholders, competitors, and other stakeholders.
All of these factors must be taken into account when formulating strategies at the executive level.
When businesses require costly investments in software, equipment, or other resources in order to perform their basic operations, developing long-term plans is crucial. Long-term plans define when to upgrade, replace, or defer maintenance on these key assets. The facility manager's institutional knowledge can aid in optimizing these plans, and making decisions that will benefit the company in the long run.
Facilities managers can also have important insights into how building design and integrated systems affect the experiences of employees and customers.
Bringing your knowledge and experience to the table as a facility manager can often mean taking on extra efforts to educate yourself about the big-picture aspects of the business. By doing so, you can become an invaluable contributor to strategic planning that will keep your company growing and thriving.

It has been a busy week for our Fit Factor team as they've taken part in a number of fun sports sessions as the competition finishing line nears.
The group have been up to their eyes in mud and water in the past seven days as they have pushed themselves to the limit in their quest to shed the pounds.
Ladies from the Novocastrians Rugby Football Club in Newcastle firstly put the participants through their paces as they gave the team an intense outdoor workout.
The Fit Factor group lifted big tyres in pairs, frog hopped straight into press-ups and pushed bags with their shoulders across the grass.
One of the smallest is Gemma Robson, 30, a civil servant, and she was keen to get stuck into the rugby session.
The mother-of-two, from Gateshead, said: "The rugby session with some of Novos women's team was great.
"I'll admit that it's not the kind of sport I thought we'd be doing during the Fit Factor but I was really looking forward to it, until I saw the weather forecast. Diving around on a muddy field didn't appeal to me much, but luckily the weather held off.
"The women from the team demonstrated their usual warm up. We got stuck in immediately. After the warm up we were introduced to the circuit training the team complete, sometimes up to four times a session.
"I really enjoyed the variation of the exercises. My favourite part of the training was 'running the gauntlet' and our session ended with this.
"We each took turns to run through the rest of the group who were all armed with training pads. The group had to use all their force and strength to keep the individual from reaching the end of 'the gauntlet'."
Rugby training is a great physical activity as it includes both running and lifting exercises, so the body is given a full workout.
Bride-to-be Lisa Embleton, 35, of Kingston Park, Newcastle, admitted that she was not looking forward to the rugby training session, yet found she actually enjoyed it.
The NVQ assessor said: "We met the lovely players and coach at the rugby club. I was not looking forward to this session, however I was wrong and we had a great training session with a lot of laughs.
"I particularly enjoyed doing the last task we did, when each of us ran through the other players while we were trying to stop them and we could see how the team players also do it. The Novos were very encouraging and they joined in to help us get the most out of our session."
For Ashley Cuniff, 30, of South Shields, playing rugby was a blast from the past as he used to be a key player in a rugby team until he fractured his back taking part in a training session with younger players.
His accident was in June 2012 and the injury brought an abrupt end to his rugby playing days. This was a key reason as to why his weight gradually increased.
The fire service engineer said: "This last week has been non-stop but it has been amazing. The rugby at Novos was good and it was nice to have the rugby ball back in my hands again. It felt good hitting the pads, and on the plus side we got to rough our Fit Factor trainer Dave up a little bit too.
"Every session we have a laugh and we also get quite competitive, but the last 11 weeks have been amazing, very hard but amazing. I would like to wish everyone good luck for the final push."
Next week we will find out who is crowned our Fit Factor 2014 winner as the three-month competition comes to a conclusion.
Each participant is doing their best to lose as much weight as possible in the final week and they are trying activities that they would not normally do.
On Saturday the Fit Factor team met up with former Olympic swimmer Chris Cook as he gave them a swimming master class.
Putting on a swimming costume is something that would have been daunting for some of our participants before they began to lose weight.
Lisa was happy to take the plunge as her confidence has grown since she has slimmed down.
She said: "Saturday was one of the best days so far. We started the day at bootcamp which was dry and Fit Factor trainer Dave made sure we were put through our paces before we got to meet a great man, Chris Cook, who gave us all a lot of techniques we can use when swimming.
"I was never able to breathe when doing breast stroke but after the training session I can now do this, but I still need a little practise. I love swimming and was great to get tips from an Olympic swimmer who also got in the pool and showed us how it should be done.
"This session was the one I was most looking forward to and Chris did not disappoint. I can not thank him enough for the time he spent with us to help us.
"I think that this week has been the best so far and thanks to Dave I have tried activities I would have otherwise not had the opportunity to do.
"I am still working hard during the training sessions and can't wait to see the final results.
"I will be very sad that the Fit Factor will be at the end and will miss our trainings sessions. I am still determined that I'll keep up the new routine once it is finished and I'm still hoping to go to bootcamp and hope that as a team we still meet up."
Craig Barbour, 27, of Newcastle Quayside, was this year's largest participant as he started the competition tipping the scales at 23st 7lbs.
The Port of Tyne assistant operations manager said: "We went to Darlington to meet Chris for a swim session. What can I say - the man is a legend. He is one of the nicest, genuine, inspiring individual's I have ever met. It was a true honour to be in the pool with him and thoroughly enjoyed the time with Chris."
Carl Martin, 32, a surveyor, of Gateshead, is not one of the strongest swimmers and he only recently got back in to the pool to swim with his young children for the first time.
The father-of-two said: "We were honoured to be coached in the pool by Olympian Chris Cook. What a really enthusiastic, motivating person he is. He tried to help me so much with my breathing. I still did not really get the hang of it but will keep trying.
"The rugby and swimming were on top of our normal gym sessions and bootcamp. All in all it was a tough, busy, but great week.
"I am gutted that Fit Factor is nearing the end. I would imagine it's similar to rehab, being left to your own devices is daunting. I feel the other contestants and I are a team, we work well together. I will miss seeing them as often in the gym. Hopefully we can arrange something so we can keep it going in some form.
"When I was interviewed for the Fit Factor the experience was likened to a bubble, this is so true. The bubble is going to pop and we all individually need to react and put into practice what we have been taught."
Former Olympian Chris competed for Great Britain for nearly 10 years before retiring from international swimming in 2009. After a career which saw him rise to being double Commonwealth champion, British record holder, Commonwealth record holder, World medallist, European medallist and Olympic finalist, Chris now uses his experience to help others to achieve their goals.
He said: "It was really good to meet the team as they gave 100% to the session and not one complained or moaned. They were brilliant and it was a honour to meet them.
"The Fit Factor groups get better and better each year and I would like to think that one or two of the finalists will continue swimming."
Fit Factor trainer David Fairlamb has worked with the team for the past 11 weeks and said he is extremely pleased that the group has already collectively lost more than 13 stones.
He said: "It is a fantastic team and I am really proud of all they have achieved. They have worked very hard and they look and feel so much better than before the competition.
"This week has been jam-packed with activities and there has been some tough training sessions. Yet the group has coped really well and the finalists' fitness levels have clearly increased."
On Wednesday, June 4, The Journal editor Brian Aitken will reveal which of our Fit Factor entrants has come out on top at an event at the Hilton Hotel in Gateshead. The evening will begin with Mr Aitken talking about why he joined the Fit Factor group this year, his 12-week experience and why he backed the project from the beginning.
He will then announce the winner followed by a live question-and-answer session with the Fit Factor finalists.
Fit Factor trainer David Fairlamb will then give a motivational speech.
David will also reveal the secrets behind weight control and share his extensive 18 years of knowledge for the first time to a live audience.

Mindful Eating as Food for Thought
By JEFF GORDINIER
"TRY this: place a forkful of food in your mouth. It doesn't matter what the food is, but make it something you love — let's say it's that first nibble from three hot, fragrant, perfectly cooked ravioli. Now comes the hard part. Put the fork down. This could be a lot more challenging than you imagine, because that first bite was very good and another immediately beckons. You're hungry…."

Remarkable France keep England at bay
France coach Jacques Brunel hailed his side's "remarkable defence" after Saturday's 22-16 victory over England, a result which left Eddie Jones bemoaning his players' inability to better learn to contest the breakdown.
Maxime Machenaud (4) and Lionel Beauxis landed penalties for France, who were also awarded a penalty try.
England's Owen Farrell (2) and Elliot Daly responded with their own penalties before Jonny May crossed for a try Farrell converted to set up a frantic finish to what had been a dour, defence-driven and often mistake-riddled encounter at the Stade de France.
The victory was France's second after they saw off Italy last week to break a losing streak going back 11 months.
Allied to that has been France's further dip in popularity after a controversial late-night, alcohol-fuelled drinking session following defeat in Scotland that saw eight players sanctioned by Brunel.
"France has gone through a tough time," the 64-year-old Brunel said.
"I believe we can come very close to the best. Against Ireland (lost 15-13 in the last minute), we were there, we lacked just a little bit at the end.
"Against both Ireland and England, we've shown we can go up against them and we will continue to do so."
Brunel added: "There were a lot of good things today. Our defence was remarkable. The line-out was a bit wobbly and the scrum as well. But there was a lot of energy and a lot of will from the players.
"There is a lot to be happy about. We knew that the physical challenge of the game would be a key factor. We controlled the ball and that upset them because they're not used to it."
England coach Jones saw his team concede a massive 16 penalties, with Anthony Watson also yellow carded for the high tackle on Benjamin Fall that saw South African referee Jaco Peyper award the penalty try to France.
"Obviously I'm very disappointed. We didn't take the opportunity to score points," the Australian said.
"The breakdown again caused us trouble. We improved in that area, but not to the extent we needed to. We just didn't learn quick enough. There's no lack of effort."

Another utility-sparked wildfire? SoCal Edison alerts state regulators of 'impact' at start of Saddleridge Fire
With state leaders seeking ways to avoid mass power shut-offs in the future, a Southern California utility company alerted regulators that an incident on its electrical equipment may be linked to the damaging Saddleridge Fire burning in Los Angeles County, officials told The Chronicle on Monday.
The cause of the fire has not been determined.
Susan Cox, a Southern California Edison spokeswoman, confirmed that her company made a report Friday to the California Public Utilities Commission.
"Out of an abundance of caution we notified the CPUC on Friday, Oct. 11, that our system was impacted near the reported time of the fire," Cox said.
The report was similar to one made by Pacific Gas & Electric Co. last year in the days following the Camp Fire in Butte County, the deadliest and most destructive blaze in California history.
State investigators later concluded that PG&E equipment sparked the fire, a finding that put pressure on PG&E to expand its new practice of doing preemptive shut-offs during dangerous weather.
The Saddleridge Fire began Thursday night north of Highway 210 in Sylmar and by Monday morning had burned almost 8,000 acres, destroyed 17 structures and damaged 58 others. Authorities said one man died from a heart attack and three firefighters suffered minor injuries.
The first firefighters to put eyes on the blaze Thursday reported to dispatchers it was "a quarter-acre under the power lines," according to radio transmissions reviewed by The Chronicle.
On Monday, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Nicholas Prange released a statement saying the area of origin had been narrowed by investigators to a 50-foot-by-70-foot rectangle under a high-voltage transmission tower.
"There is no evidence of a homeless encampment in the immediate area," he said. "Investigators continue to work around the clock in steep terrain, thoroughly examining all aspects of the scene in an attempt to determine a cause."
Prange added that in addition to firefighters, investigators from SoCal Edison and private insurance companies have been to the site.
Those electrical lines were apparently live, despite preemptive outages in other parts of the state. SoCal Edison has said it did not de-energize any lines in that area despite shutting off power to more than 20,000 customers the day the fire broke out.
The utility had targeted the Sylmar area earlier in the week, saying households and businesses in the community could be among more than 170,000 customers to lose power. However, Sylmar was eventually taken off the targeted list for an unknown reason. It's unclear if the power lines near the fire origin were ever in the utility de-energizing plans.
At about 9 p.m. Thursday, when the fire started one weather station just north of Sylmar in the San Gabriel Mountains recorded 29 mph sustained winds and up to 53 mph gusts. Another station in Newhall Pass to the north recorded a tinder dry 5% humidity.
In the northern part of the state, PG&E cut power last week to more than 700,000 customers as a precautionary move amid forecasts of high winds.
PG&E said its decision was validated after crews found 100 incidents of wind-related damage to power lines in its power shutdown areas, any of which could have started a fire.
"The winds we experienced, like the winds happening in Southern California, were of such a speed that it blew branches and trees into our power lines, bringing about this risk of ignition," PG&E CEO Bill Johnson said Friday. "Had those lines been energized we'd had the potential for numerous instances of ignition, but thankfully those lines were not energized."
PG&E took heavy criticism for its handling of its biggest-ever power shutdown, which included a website that crashed due to customers flooding the outage information page.
SoCal Edison's website also crashed during its outage, prompting it to tell customers on social media, "Our website is experiencing intermittent issues and we apologize for any inconvenience."
Public Utilities Commission spokeswoman Terrie Prosper said Monday that SoCal Edison's full report of the incident related to the Saddleridge Fire was confidential and not public at this time.
She said a utility must report electrical incidents that meet certain criteria: they result in a fatality or injury involving electric facilities; they cause damage to property of the utility or others in excess of $50,000; they receive significant media coverage; or they result in an outage affecting at least 10% of the company's service territory at a single point in time.
Prange said the Saddleridge Fire was 43% contained as of Monday morning. The blaze led to the evacuation of 100,000 residents in the San Fernando Valley.
He said investigators were reviewing evidence, including from SoCal Edison, while looking at burn patterns and talking to witnesses to try to determine what sparked the fire that was fanned by strong Santa Ana winds.

I'm a big fan of the new technology, like digitized music and the Long Tail economic model that enables the inexpensive distribute of it. And lots more music gets distributed these days!
But maybe, as the writer of this article seems to think, there are limits ...
"Nine thousand songs?" ... "Who the hell has 9,000 songs?"
[He] shot me a withering look. "Ninety-thousand songs. I said 90,000 songs. And, I do."
... I know my jaw dropped as the words "ninety thousand" fell from his lips.
Translated into time, that's about nine months' worth of music. ... That's nuts. ... You could have a full-term baby without ever playing the same song twice.
And besides, where do you find the time? Or the money?
... My own paltry iTunes library runs just shy of 500 songs -- a little over a day and a half of music -- and that includes every selection from Pipes of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
Now, I spend a lot of time listening to music, but like most people I tend to play my favorites a lot. Even at 500 songs, there is music I've played exactly once since downloading them to iTunes. Ninety thousand songs? I wouldn't begin to remember even a tenth of the titles.
So what's the point?
I dunno. I understand the writer's point of view. However, I also suspect he hasn't been on the block long enough to recognize a library when he sees one. And besides, who's to judge the motivation of collectors?
Back in the dark ages when vinyl ruled, my husband amassed a collection of 1000 or so LPs, of just about every genre imaginable (he left the Ukrainian section to me). That's maybe closer to 9,000 songs than 90k. But still. Vinyl is old technology.
Then he discovered CDs, quite early in the game, so we probably have at least as many CDs as LPs. But at least they don't take up as much room. Anyway, now he is converting all his (well, ok... our) favourite tunes to MP3s, a format in which he will probably, in short order, be acquiring new releases.
As for me, naturally I collect Ukrainian music. I produce a Ukrainian radio program after all.
But I am also a writer, so of course I collect books ... all kinds of books. Some (not by any means all) of them are stored on what my hubby calls "the stacks." As in library stacks. I admit, it's kind of crazy. I've promised him I would cull them by getting rid of one book in the stacks for every new one I buy. But I'm not very diligent about it. There are some I just can't part with!
And yes, many of them I haven't opened in years, maybe decades. Kind of reminds me of the guy with the 90k songs ...

The answer is yes and no. Yes it is a diversion in that the media and the public are so obsessed with "Keeping Up with the Trumpdashians" that less focus is placed on the failures of the Trump administration to govern. Yes there is some intentionality here by Trump but it may be more a product of hiding failures, his ego and desire to maintain media attention, and simply not knowing what it means to govern than a master plan to engage in disinformation. moncler jackets canada

The MBA admissions interview can be a decisive factor when the admissions committee assesses your desirability as a candidate for their school and program, in some cases making or breaking your chances of admission. A typical MBA interview lasts 20-30 minutes and is usually undertaken by a member of the admissions committee who will strongly influence the admission decision. You want to make a great impression in your interview but it's natural to be nervous about this part of the process. Our MBA admissions interview coaching is designed to help you get ready for your business school interviews, allowing you to feel confident, relaxed and prepared for the real thing. We give you access to an expert in business school admissions who has interviewed thousands of students on behalf of two of Canada's top business schools.

How could a simple magazine article change so many lives? Well it did, in 1993.
Co-Founder's Dick and Jean Wilson read an article about the up and coming trend of "Brewpubs". Just not another restaurant, but one that brewed their own beer. In 1993 there were a mere 250 microbreweries and brewpubs. They quickly called their daughter Winnie Hanseth and told her about concept, hoping this would bring their daughter and her husband back to Flagstaff to live with their two children.
As it happens, one of the first Craft Brewers Conferences was in a few weeks away after the phone call. Winnie and Evan quickly dropped off their children at the neighbors and boarded a plan to New Orleans – the site of the Conference. The conference was small those years, a total of around 600 participants attended. (Today there are over 10,000 attendees)
The conference inspired and motivated Evan and Winnie to put their house on the market and moved to Flagstaff. Together with Winnie's parents, Dick and Jean, they found the perfect spot to open the brewpub, on the Southside of historic downtown Flagstaff. Using the money from the sale of their house they bought the brewing equipment that Beaver Street Brewery still uses today.
In March of 1994, Beaver Street Brewery opened its doors as Flagstaff's first brewpub. Over the years Beaver Street Brewery's beer has been well received by the public and has won numerous awards. With little space, small capacity, and high demand for Beaver Street Brewery's beer, owners Winnie and Evan Hanseth looked for an opportunity elsewhere to brew more beer and start distribution throughout Arizona.
Just when they had exhausted many possible locations around Flagstaff, the city of Flagstaff put out a request for proposal for the historical Halstead Lumberyard Building, built in the early 1900's, and had been abandoned for 8 years. After being granted the proposal, Winnie and Evan rehabilitated the lumber building to become our sister brewery Lumberyard Brewing Company.
Lumberyard Brewing Company continues to brew the flagship Beaver Street Brewery beers, formed from Flagstaff's original brewpub: Railhead Red, Flagstaff IPA, and Red Rock Raspberry. Even though some of their names have changed, these are still the great beers that started their journey here in 1994.
Beaver Street Brewery's original brew house is still active today supporting Beaver Street Brewery with their flagship beers and seasonals to those that are visiting Flagstaff's first brewpub.

The Hanseths
If you asked Winnie 30 years ago what she would be doing today, her answer would be far from brewing beer and running a restaurant. But here she is today, having opened Beaver Street Brewery in 1994 and then Lumberyard Brewery in 2010. If you ask her what she loves the most, it would be all the people she has met and worked with throughout the years.
Mike Darby | General Manager
Mike joined the Beaver Street team in 1998 while attending Northern Arizona University. Growing up in Phoenix, the transition to Mountain life was quite a welcomed change. As an avid outdoorsman, the forests surrounding Flagstaff became a natural fit. He has a wonderful wife and two active young boys who keep him busy. He loves craft beer and the culture surrounding it, thus making going to work every day a pleasure.
Tory Mace | Assistant General Manager
You never know where a few beers and an atlas toss will land you! Tory did just that and found her way from Minnesota to Arizona. After doing a short stint in the furnace (Phoenix)…yep, 122 degrees is real…she moved herself to the cool mountain pines. In an effort to save all strays, Tory is the in-house crazy cat lady. She claims that when you have a dog too, you can take the crazy out. We'll just point out that she does not have a dog at this time. Ha! Tory's exposure to craft beer has now created some spoiled taste buds. No longer will "schwag" imposters be tolerated. In her spare time, Tory enjoys being crafty, sassy, and outdoors.
Kelly Hanseth | Marketing
Kelly grew up in the brewery industry working at Beaver Street Brewery throughout high school, and then moved to California for college. After graduation, she came back just as Lumberyard Brewing was in planning and has been here since. Not only does she help manage the restaurant and running all their social media pages, Kelly is currently the Vice President of the Arizona Craft Brewers Guild. When not at the Lumberyard you can find her out on the numerous trails in Flagstaff either running or hiking with her two rescue dogs.
Rainee Etcitty | Administration Manager
I grew up on the Navajo Nation Reservation and later on went to high school here in Flagstaff at Coconino High School. I consider Flagstaff my home and have lived her for a total of 19 years. I became a craft beer lover when visiting Bandersnatch Brewery in Tempe, Arizona back in the mid-90's. I am a "Hop head," lover of IPA's and prefer beer poured on nitro. I enjoyed living in Portland, Oregon after graduating from The University of Arizona because the city has a plethora of breweries! In my spare time I strength train, trail run and read books. I love my two kittens, dog, and my family. I am an avid lover of University of Arizona men's basketball! Go Cats! My favorite super heroes are Xena, Wonder Women and Storm. I've been working for Beaver Street Brewery for 14 years, my favorite part of the job is working with amazing people and seeing all the different faces that come through our front door. The regular customers always have a smile for me when I greet them. Cheers!
Stephen Hendricks | Head Brewer
Stephen started working in restaurants in High School where, like his Mother, found a passion for food. After High School Stephen enrolled in culinary college at Baltimore International Culinary College, and graduated in 1996. While in culinary school, Stephen also began Home brewing (broke college student), and turned this into a fulfilling hobby. When Stephen moved out to Flagstaff in 1998, there weren't a whole lot of chef opportunities available, but was able to procure a line cook position at Beaver Street Brewery. When Brewmaster/owner Evan Hanseth needed a new assistant in the brewery, Stephen jumped at the opportunity, submitting home brew samples. Stephen worked alongside Evan for 3 years, and then at Mogollon Brewing Co. for 13 years, before returning to BSB to run the brewery in 2014. When Stephen is not in the brewery you can find him on the Disc Golf course, the 4×4 trails, down river with his best friends, or cooking a homemade meal at home.

The building in which Beaver Street Brewery resides, has long been the site of businesses run by merchants who have understood the value of personal service.
Merle Sauer and Henry Hutchinson opened the Complete Food Market on the corner of Beaver Street and Phoenix Avenue. Sauer and Hutchinson offered doorstep delivery and emphasized knowing each customer by name.
The market expanded with the construction of the portion of the building now occupied by Beaver Street Brewery and Whistle Stop Café. The market was renamed the Food Town Super Market.
The west section of the building was added. Constructed of Malapais rock, the addition included second story office space and a basement that was frequently flooded by runoff from the Rio de Flag, which currently runs under this building.
The Market was one of the three largest grocery stores in Flagstaff. It closed permanently around 1984. After that time, the building was occupied by a Factory 2-U clothing outlet and a National Furniture Store.
Beaver Street Brewery & Whistle Stop Café opened for business following nine months of remodeling. We soon expanded outdoors with our unique beer garden featuring native-grown hops.
Beaver Street Brews & Cues opened its doors. This unique game room caters to adults of all ages. An antique Brunswick Bar is the center of attention, along with five Connelly Ultimate Billiard tables, digital jukebox, board games, and big screen TV's.
The owners, management, and staff of Beaver Street Brewery & Whistle Stop Café strive to carry on the tradition of personal service that made small businesses like Food Town SuperMarket both unique and successful.

Anderson becomes first woman with 2 snowboarding medals at single Olympics
Jamie Anderson became the first woman with two snowboarding medals at one games.
PYEONGCHANG, South Korea -- American Jamie Anderson finished second in the big-air event to become the first woman to medal twice in snowboarding at a single Olympics.
Two men, Zan Kosir and Vic Wild, each accomplished the feat in 2014.
Anderson, who earlier won gold in slopestyle, an event she also won in 2014, joined Kelly Clark and Shaun White as the only U.S. competitors to each win three snowboarding medals.
In big-air, snowboarders are judged on posture, tricks performed in mid-air, the difficulty of tricks and landings. Only the best two of three attempts are counted.
Anderson, 27, started out strong, leading by 6 points after her first run, but she had to settle for the silver medal after not landing a cab-1080 in third run. Her final score of 177.25 trailed Austrian Anna Gasser's 185. Zoi Sadowski-Synnott of New Zealand took bronze with 157.5.
"I chose to kind of play it a little bit safe and put two down and then hope to land it on my third run, which, unfortunately, didn't work out." Anderson said. "But I'm so proud of myself for just sending it and trying it."
Anderson said it was the best big-air event she'd ever been a part of, "with it being the Olympics and everyone wanting to do their best, and really showcase what the babes are all about."
The big-air finals were moved up to Thursday from Friday partly to help ensure good weather and course conditions, which allowed Anderson and her peers "to do what we're capable of."
"It feels better," Anderson added, "because we have great conditions and everyone was able to ride their best. So it feels rewarding. It just feels good."
