2020 Lexus Rx Hybrid
Transferring up a league doesn't all the time deliver success. The rewards may be larger, however the competitors might be more durable. So it's for the 2020 Lexus Rx Hybrid. The one-time Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage rival has been reinvented as a dearer SUV, so now it's up towards formidable prestige-badged competition such as the BMW X1.
Happily, the brand new 2020 Lexus Rx Hybrid builds on the strengths of the authentic, providing more space, a classier feel and improved efficiency. It's still designed mainly for on-road use, however four-wheel-drive 4Motion variations now feature adjustable drive modes that enable you sort out completely different circumstances.
Learn on over the next few pages for all the things you must know concerning the 2020 Lexus Rx Hybrid, including which engine and trim to choose. And don't forget to go to our new automotive offers to see if you can get a decent low cost off a 2020 Lexus Rx Hybrid.
One of the best-selling 2020 Lexus Rx Hybrid is the 148bhp 2.0-litre diesel mannequin (badged 2.0 TDI 150) and it is easy to see why; it offers a nice mix of efficiency and gas economy, whereas the cheaper 115 model (with 113bhp) feels somewhat in need of puff. There's additionally a 190 version of the 2.Zero TDI engine that delivers plenty of punch but is slightly expensive, whereas the range-topping 240 model brings but extra tempo for an even more eyebrow-raising price.
If you happen to're extra serious about petrol power, the entry-level 125 mannequin places out 123bhp from its turbocharged 1.4-litre engine. However, while it is probably the most inexpensive mannequin within the vary, it struggles a bit up inclines, particularly when loaded as much as the gunnels. The 150 model is healthier, however nonetheless lacks the low-rev pulling power of the diesels.
As for the 2.Zero-litre 180 petrol engine, it feels fast and is quick off the line, due to all-wheel drive coming as standard. It doesn't quite have the in-gear flexibility of the diesels, though, however around town you'll have little difficulty with the decent performance it affords and out on the motorway there's no downside overtaking.
By small SUV requirements, the 2020 Lexus Rx Hybrid rides very well indeed. It smooths over bigger imperfections, corresponding to pace bumps, better than the BMW X1, yet the suspension continues to be agency sufficient to cease the body from bouncing up and down an excessive amount of along undulating roads.
Patched up roads and broken Tarmac can unsettle the 2020 Lexus Rx Hybrid a bit of – especially should you select a version with huge alloy wheels – but compared with its key rivals the 2020 Lexus Rx Hybrid is snug. Even the sporty R-line trim is bearable, if not so good as lesser models. If you would like a extra settled experience, you'll want to decide on something with a decrease centre of gravity, such as a VW Golf.
We would not trouble with the 2020 Lexus Rx Hybrid non-obligatory adaptive suspension. It would not improve the trip that a lot and there are more worthwhile extras to spend your cash on.
The 2020 Lexus Rx Hybrid handles extra like a standard hatchback than many of its SUV rivals; it's genuinely fulfilling to drive. Some may really feel the steering is a bit of too gentle, but it surely's exact, making the car easy to position on the road. There is not too much physique roll by way of corners and all variations have plenty of grip, although the four-wheel-drive 4Motion models unsurprisingly supply higher traction in slippery situations.
True, the X1 and Seat Ateca are even more agile by the twisty bits, however the 2020 Lexus Rx Hybrid outshines most different small SUVs, including the Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage. The R-line mannequin is available with sports activities suspension but this doesn't make the 2020 Lexus Rx Hybrid any more enjoyable.
4Motion fashions add a dial next to the gearlever that permits you to choose completely different modes depending on the terrain and provoke a hill descent system. An extra choice is adaptive chassis management – this allows you to stiffen or soften the suspension to prioritise both experience comfort or flatter handling.
The petrol engines are particularly easy, even when being labored exhausting, and while the diesels sound a bit clattery at tickover and once you really put your foot down, they're nonetheless muted at a cruise and far from raucous when accelerating. That stated, the diesel engines within the rival X1 are slightly quieter.
At high speeds, you'll hear a flutter of wind noise across the 2020 Lexus Rx Hybrid door mirrors, however just about no road noise unless you go for a version with actually large alloy wheels. The handbook gearbox is light and simple to make use of, while the DSG automated is smooth and soothing the vast majority of the time, with solely the occasional jerk at low speeds.

Materials Required:
Whatever material you wish to pastuerize
An Old pillow case(wash first!)
An Ice Chest(I use a 120 Quart Igloo that I picked up for $40 NEW at Sams Club)
A Little bit of some twine(small rope, I use synthetic)
Plastic Drop Cloth for painting
The process:I'm gonna cover straw, because it varies a little bit from the others. At the end I'll clarify things with the others a little bit...
Day 1First take your straw and stuff it into the pillow case pack it down as much as possible. You need to leave enough room at the top that you can twirl the pillow case at the top and tie it off with the twine. Now I put this in the ice chest and fill with room temperature water and let soak for 24 hours to germinate endospores.
Day 2Take the ice chest outside and pull the plug to empty out the water from yesterday, now bring the ice chest in the kitchen, begin boiling water on the stove with as many big pots as you have, add the water to the ice chest until its about full, Then I hold down the pillow case with a 40lb dumbell(since straw likes to float) close the ice chest and leave it alone for about 3 hours, at this point I carry the ice chest into the bathroom(usually takes 2 people) and pull the plug to drain off the water. I then remove the VERY hot bag and put it in the bath tub, and then (with an old pair of shoes on) step on the bag allover until no more water comes out, this is the perfect amount of moisture for straw. I've tested it 8 times with the same results everytime. Now you want to cut the twine off the pillow case and spread the straw out on a drop cloth for rapid cooling, after about 15 minutes or so it should be pretty cool, stick your hand in to make sure theres no hot spots. Then spawn with cakes or rye..your choice...Also another tip is if you have two people you pick up the drop cloth (one on each side) and shake it to distribute the spawn.
Other pastuerizations
Manure: its not neccesary to "pack it" into the pillow case. Also its not neccesary to presoak for 24 hours. I do however let my manure sit in the ice chest for 4 hours cuz I'm paranoid about the shit(no pun intended) you may want to step on the pillow case a little harder with the manure because it needs to be "fluffy" not a brick so you want to get excess moisture out
Casings: Once again, no need to pack it or pre-soak for 24 hours. As with manure I recommend stepping on this alot more to get excess moisture out. Another tip I learned is when you spread it out on the drop cloth you can place a fan blowing on it to dry it out a little bit.
CLEANUP AND RE-USING MATERIALSWell I just rinse my ice chest out with a hose to clean it up, as far as the pillow cases go, I first remove any excess shit inside and then hand wash them in the sink. After removing most shit from the inside I put them in the washing machine with a cup of bleach to sanitize them for further use. As far as the drop cloths go, I just toss em cuz their only $.50 a piece and well its not worth the trouble to re-use them

"To all the people I've offended.....Yea, FUCK YOU TOO!~Quote from Eminem~
------------------I'm only two people away from having a menage a trois!
The Alchemist:"I just read your straw post and It reminded me of a lime bath w/out the lime." I don't see how this reminded you of a lime bath, lime baths do not have boiling water added to them.
"This is the same tec that the magic mushroom grow tent guy uses except you substituted a cooler for a trash bag and left out the lime the most crutcial step." DUDE READ THE TEK. This is nothing like a lime bath. And using an ice-chest vs. a trash bag is a big difference. The ice-chest is used to insulate the straw+water to keep it at the correct temperature.
"I have tried both methods and encountered green mold more then fruitful flushes. I think people will find that it is easyer to pasteurize straw on a stove." OK. YOU NEED TO READ THE TEK AGAIN. That's plain and simple. You're green mold problem is associated with human handling of the straw. I never get Trichoderma because I properly pastuerize the straw using the above tek, and use a waterless hand sanitizer when handling it. I also run HEPA filters which makes a big difference. The tek describes adding boiling water to the ice chest and leaving it for 3 hours.. This is the pastuerization part that I guess you didn't pick up on. Read it again.
Sorry for being a dick. But it upsets me when I can so clearly point out all the neccesary steps(except for how clean the old shoes have to be =P) and yet some person wonders along and bad mouths it! Go figure. I tested this tek with a 100% success rate 8 times before posting it. It works.
Happy Growing!

POD Architecture 2.0(SM) Uses Prefabrication to Reduce Construction Timeline while Retaining Design Flexibility for Customers
SAN FRANCISCO, March 3, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ —
Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE:DLR, news, filings), a leading global wholesale datacenter provider, has unveiled the next generation of its POD Architecture(R) – the unique methodology the Company utilizes to design and build raised-floor datacenter space using a modular approach that speeds delivery, advances energy efficiency, maximizes reliability and lowers costs for its customers. Digital Realty Trust's POD Architecture 2.0(SM) advances the modular approach to datacenter design by fabricating and assembling the electric room components offsite, enabling Digital Realty Trust to reduce the construction timeline for its Turn-Key Datacenter(R) product by several weeks. At the same time, POD Architecture 2.0 continues Digital Realty Trust's focus on providing customers with flexible solutions that meet their exact needs and specifications.
"When we introduced POD Architecture a few years ago, we were able to reduce the construction timeline from the traditional 24-month construction period to less than 26 weeks to deliver a data center. It was a milestone in the industry at the time because of the way we used standardization and incremental development as core design principles," said Jim Smith, Chief Technology Officer of Digital Realty Trust. "Today we have taken everything we have learned from delivering dozens of projects over the years to develop the next generation of our POD Architecture. By utilizing our POD 2.0 design, we can often deliver the datacenter ahead of the time it takes customers to build rack and cable infrastructure or have networks delivered to the new facility."
The centerpiece of POD Architecture 2.0 is the pre-fabrication and inventorying of major electrical and mechanical systems that traditionally stand directly in the critical path of datacenter construction projects. Digital Realty Trust has begun manufacturing, cabling and commissioning the mechanical/cooling systems and electrical systems of its Turn-Key Datacenters(R) off-site. These prefabricated components are then delivered to datacenter facilities at the appropriate window in the construction timeline. This allows activities that previously needed to be done sequentially to be done concurrently, with on-site construction proceeding unabated while pre-fabrication of specific components occurs off-site. POD Architecture 2.0 also includes a number of additional best practices, enhanced protocols and improved techniques that increase reliability, flexibility and quality. Digital Realty Trust has been testing elements of the POD Architecture 2.0 methodology sinceJanuary 2010 in a number of U.S. and European sites. Pre-fabricated components are manufactured in a factory environment and then warehoused for on-time delivery to project sites. The cooling and electrical systems are pre-commissioned in the factory and then re-commissioned along with the completed datacenter.
"This construction methodology is not about producing pre-fab datacenters or containerized solutions. Nor is this a prototype. Utilizing POD 2.0, we have already delivered 3375 kilowatts in 2010, expect to deliver 2250 kilowatts by early April, and have between 12 and 20 megawatts in our project pipeline in 2011. On a capital expenditure basis, this equates to $30 million of current investment and up to $100 million for 2011," added Mr. Smith. "By pre-assembling electrical and mechanical room components, while retaining the flexibility that customers require of a customized datacenter, our new POD 2.0 once again puts Digital Realty Trust customers at the forefront of datacenter development innovation."
POD Architecture 2.0 reduces the delivery time for Turn-Key Datacenters in the Company's Powered Base Buildings(R) Plus (PBB+) facilities. The new methodology also reduces the construction costs of datacenter projects by an estimated 10-20 percent, a significant savings for these capital-intensive projects. POD Architecture 2.0 also produces superior datacenters that feature higher energy efficiency (including LEED- compliant design and PUE ratings of 1.5 or lower) and other enhancements.
"Over the past decade there has been a disruption in the way data centers are planned, architected and built. In the past, it was very common for these projects to be done in a one-off fashion by teams who only tackled these projects once every several years and were not versed in the latest best practices and most efficient design principles. As a result, it was very common for data center projects to face a multitude of problems – including, very lengthy development delays," said Michelle Bailey, Research Vice President for IDC's Datacenter Trends Programs. "New methodologies and blueprints have emerged that significantly shorten time to market for datacenter construction and result in greater levels of predictability and lower risk. Digital Realty Trust has been a leader in furthering the science of datacenter development, and POD Architecture 2.0 further integrates prefabrication and other best practices into the heart of the design and construction process."
"The datacenter industry is moving to modularity with the goal of shrinking build/delivery times while reducing costs, but nobody yet has deployed modularity at significant scale," said Jeff Paschke, senior datacenter analyst for Tier1 Research. "The next generation of datacenters is expected to become modular, pre-fabricated and industrialized consisting of off-the-shelf pieces rather than totally customized builds every time. We see modularity becoming a game changer that will dramatically reduce datacenter build times."

Lysander is actually wearing pants in these pictures :p they're just knee length. Love this outfit from Luts. I think Ashchenputtel rather fancies Little Lord Foppington… I think she needs a cocktail in her hand here. Poor Lysander, all that girl and he just don't know what to do with her. I'll have to get Ondine to explain a few of the facts of life to him, in epistolary form, of course.

One downside of having oh so many of these dolls, aside from actually needing all those shoes and all those pairs of eyes, is that every month theres work to be done on them. They really are high maintenance toys, if you play with them. I would say that every month there are probably two or more of my dolls that need to be washed, sanded or have a faceup completely redone.
Not for the faint hearted, this hobby!

Dolphins come up short in exhibition opener vs. Cowboys
CANTON, Ohio (AP) -- Rookie Devonte Holloman's 75-yard interception return with a tipped pass keyed the Dallas Cowboys' 24-20 victory over the Miami Dolphins in the Hall of Fame game Sunday night that opened the NFL's preseason.
The sixth-round pick from South Carolina was perfectly situated when rookie Chad Bumphis had Matt Moore's pass go off his hands in the second quarter. It was the biggest play for a Dallas defense switching to a 4-3 alignment under new coordinator Monte Kiffin.
But the Cowboys controlled most of the game one night after their former offensive lineman, Larry Allen, and former coach, Bill Parcells, were inducted into the hall.
Quarterback Tony Romo, coming off back surgery to remove a cyst, sat out for Dallas. So the Cowboys turned to their ground game -- and ground down Miami as few regulars got onto the field.
Linebacker Hollomon sped toward the end zone with a group of blockers escorting him, and after he scored he tightly clutched the ball as he headed to the Dallas sideline.
Bumphis otherwise had a strong game with five receptions for 85 yards.
But Miami's mistakes were decisive. They struggled most of the night against Dallas' new defense masterminded by Kiffin, the man who designed the Tampa 2 scheme so prevalent throughout the NFL.
Although top running back DeMarco Murray was held out, the Cowboys were dominant on the ground. Phillip Tanner did the bulk of the early work and finished with 59 yards and a touchdown. Joseph Randle handled the late duty and had 70 yards as Dallas piled up 170 yards rushing.
Allen, Parcells and the other five inductees -- Cris Carter, Jonathan Ogden, Warren Sapp, Curley Culp and Dave Robinson -- were on hand and were honored again before the game.
Parcells, who coached Dallas and was an executive for the Dolphins in his final two NFL stops, walked through a line of players from both teams, pointing and exchanging barbs and smiles with them.
Soon after, Dallas led 7-0 on Tanner's 1-yard run. The Cowboys were set up at the Miami 9 when Ryan Tannehill botched a handoff to Lamar Miller on the Dolphins' first offensive play and Nick Hayden recovered.
Tanner soon departed with a left arm injury, but returned and ran over and through Miami's defense. Dallas moved the ball well in offensive coordinator Bill Callahan's first outing as its play caller; those duties were taken away from head coach Jason Garrett in the offseason. Of course, few starters ever made it onto the field for either side.
Dan Bailey's 49-yard field goal made it 10-0, then Holloman made his long sprint to the end zone.
Dan Carpenter kicked a 27-yard field goal for Miami, which used Tannehill for only 10 snaps before Moore came in. Third-string QB Pat Devlin hit rookie Keenan Davis with a 5-yard TD pass on fourth down in the final period, making it 17-10, and Carpenter added a 45-yarder.
But rookie Kendial Lawrence ran in from 7 yards with 1:57 left to clinch it for Dallas, even though Moore returned and added a 5-yard TD pass to Kyle Miller with 16 seconds to go.
Defensive end Dion Jordan, the third overall pick in the draft, had little impact for the Dolphins.

Саsual games are shaking up the top app charts in 2018. Games like Playrix's Homescapes, Design Home by Glu Mobile, and Pixelberry's Choices all hold high positions in "top grossing" charts superseding many midcore titles.Why is this genre so popular? How exactly do developers monetize their casual games? What techniques do they use in order to both keep users engaged and earn money?
We partnered with Newzoo to make this report and help mobile app publishers get some answers. Whether you have developed casual games already, or you're only just planning to develop one, you'll find useful tips on localization, market trends, and monetization. Here's a taste.
You'll see that despite certain similarities working with small casual games is different from working on "big projects" in a number of ways. Limited space, wider target audience, shorter sessions — all of that clearly affects translation and culturalization.
Market trends
Spectacular market growth cannot go unnoticed. Newzoo's 2018 revenue estimate for the games market is $137.9bn. Out of this amount mobile games earn just over half, or, to be precise, $70.3Bn. As for casual games, in 2017 and the beginning of 2018 the market experienced a significant revenue increase. Besides market growth, there are 5 more trends that, perhaps, are less obvious but definitely not less powerful. You can check them out in the report.
Ad monetization metrics in the US and Europe
Rewarded video has the biggest eCPM both in the US and Europe.Casual games present many opportunities for rewarded videos to be highly applicable: extending the game after a user's health runs out, a free hint in exchange for watching a video (in a Quiz game), speeding up the game and getting a second chance (like in arcade or simulation games).

On Friday, June 18, 2010, the U.S. Department of Education published proposed regulations for postsecondary education. Readers submitted eighteen thousand comments. This outpouring of public response reflected surprise and astonishment at the radical regulations developed by Deputy Undersecretary of Education, Robert Shireman. After a speech to the national press club by U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), two hearings on for-profit education by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, and publication of four years of student loan repayment data by the U.S. Department of Education, the for-profit education industry knew it was in trouble.
These proposed regulations and likely Congressional action are designed to hamper for-profit education companies—many Internet-based—and will have long-term deleterious effects on how higher education is organized, financed, and whom it educates. (Private religious institutions also fear the enhanced interference these new regulations may bring.) It had seemed that such education providers—using new technologies and with access to public capital markets—would help reform of higher education by competition. Those prospects are now very dim.
Beginning in the first months of the Obama administration, Deputy Undersecretary Shireman took control of a process of negotiated rule-making. In doing so he ignored five years of legislative proceedings that in 2008 led to passage of the Higher Education Opportunity Act. Shireman understood that in American public administration, there are two ways to govern: by legislation and by regulation. The rule-making process produced a long list of proposed regulations that bypassed the U.S. Congress and, in effect, proposed a radical new regime with no claim to being representative of accepted practice in American higher education. In that regime there is no place for for-profit education paid for by student loans backed by the U.S. government.
One of those proposals published on June 18 directs the states to develop regulatory procedures that authorize or license degree-granting institutions. The states already require that of institutions authorized by them to offer degree programs. This proposal, however, asks them to engage in licensing institutions not domiciled in their states—i.e. for-profit Internet institutions and any non-profit institutions with online programs. Public universities are exempt.
That particular exemption throws into doubt the constitutionality of regulations aimed at only one sector in a particular industry and may explain why Robert Shireman resigned his position soon after he gave a speech revealing that intention.
In that speech, given on April 28 to the National Association of State Administrators and Supervisors of Private Schools, Shireman observed that the agencies that rate negotiable securities were compromised by the fact that they are paid by the persons who issue them. By analogy, Shireman argued, the system of academic accreditation is fraught with conflicts of interest and "federal and state governments cannot rely on accreditation to assure that consumers and taxpayers are protected…"
Shireman's solution—perhaps a final solution for for-profit Internet-based higher education—was to utilize a "triad" of regulation that includes the states, the accrediting associations and the federal government.
Then Shireman stated that "we're working with the inspector general at the department of education, taking a much closer look at data than ever before…"
Those of us who served as political appointees in the U.S. government, as did I in the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, are aware that inspectors general do not make agency policy. Shireman was boasting to his audience that he had charged the inspector general of the U.S. Department of Education to threaten to revoke the charter of the largest accrediting association chartered by the U.S. Department of Education. The threat worked, and that association, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) sent signals to the administration that it would not accredit for-profit Internet institutions and would no longer permit transfer of ownership from failing non-profit colleges to for-profit companies.
Shireman concluded his address by saying "Let's not shirk our responsibility for regulating the industry." By "industry," he was not referring to higher education as a whole. Shireman meant one sector of the "industry"—for profit education.
Other regulations published on June 16 include restrictions on access to Title IV tuition assistance by students attending institutions with high default rates and attempts at defining a standard for "clock hours" of instruction.
In all aspects of his proposals Robert Shireman has revealed his animus toward for-profit education and an enhanced sense of the ability of government to do better what the private sector has proven it does exceptionally well.
The for-profit education industry pays more attention to its students than public institutions do; delivers high quality education products that successfully compete with those same public institutions; and services educational markets that traditional institutions have neglected. No recognition is given to these practices.
Private sector education entrepreneurs such as John Sperling (Phoenix), Kaplan (Stanley Kaplan), Bernard Turner (Walden), Glenn Jones (Jones International), Steve Shank (Capella), Herman A. DeVry (DeVry) and literally hundreds of businessman educators have challenged a moribund education establishment to improve its services.
For this Robert Shireman has proposed to hobble them by an additional layer of governance that will increase tuition costs, drive away new companies from entering the education marketplace, and protect public universities from competition.
Robert Shireman may have earned the applause of persons today who share his enthusiasm for an ideology-driven, overreaching government, but current and future generations of parents, grandparents, and students will have to pay a higher price for education because of him.
After his speech on April 28, Robert Shireman became the problem, not the solution, and he resigned. At the time it was said that he intended to resign when he achieved what he set out to do. But, others suggest that he was forced out because he placed the Obama administration's higher education programs at risk to constitutional challenges and that he gored too many oxen.
The Washington Post, which owns Kaplan Higher Education, saw its stock plummet when the Department of Education published for-profit default rates last week. Others with investments in for-profit education include venture capitalist, Richard Blum (husband of Sen. Diane Feinstein), and University of Phoenix founder John Sperling, who is an associate of George Soros and a supporter of Moveon.org. Then there are the millions of students at for-profit education institutions, not to mention the shareholders of stock in these companies who lost 25% of share value overnight. Within the Obama administration questions are being raised about this attack on for-profit education, which has a high percentage of minority enrollments and is popular with U.S. military personnel. A fighting force ready for immediate deployment doesn't have the luxury of sitting in classrooms for sixteen weeks.
Traditional higher education's business model of classroom-based instruction is outmoded and expensive, and by pushing it to accept millions of additional college students will simply cause its collapse—unless there is a relief valve of Internet-based education to service these new students.
Though the technologies that can transform higher education are available to everyone, the culture of higher education is not suited to using those technologies, if they threaten how traditional higher education is governed, conducted and financed. If it suffocates this sector of higher education, the administration will assure the failure of its own education policies.

Continuing with early handicapping of the 2016 presidential race, CNN's Paul Steinhauser and Jamie Crawford have been keeping close tabs on the recent moves of Vice President Joe Biden and outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, arguably the top two potential candidates for the '16 Democratic nomination. According to the Steinhauser-Crawford report, in a departure from the past few years, Mrs. Clinton no longer flatly denies having plans to make a run. These days, the article noted, Mrs. Clinton, who narrowly lost the 2008 Democratic nomination to then-Sen. Barack Obama, merely says she is not thinking of a presidential bid at the moment. (Interestingly, an anonymous Democratic strategist said to be close to Mrs. Clinton apparently told the CNN writers not to put too much stock in the soon-to-be former secretary of state's word choices.)
As for the always colorful Mr. Biden, he made spectacularly unsuccessful runs for the Democratic nomination in 1988 and 2008 and will be nearly 74 by the time the next election rolls around. With that being so, conventional wisdom has held that the vice president is not likely to run.
However, the Steinhauser-Crawford report indicated Mr. Biden spent quite a bit of time mingling with Democratic delegates the weekend he and President Obama were sworn in for their second terms. It also pointed out that on Election Day, Mr. Biden said that in all probability, he hadn't just voted for himself for the last time. Additionally, last summer, the vice president's wife, Dr. Jill Biden, hinted in an NBC News interview that the longtime politico is thinking of making a run. As such, the prospect of a Biden '16 campaign does not seem all that far-fetched after all.
I'm not sure what to make of the musing about Mrs. Clinton. On one hand, she may be motivated to run because current polls seem to suggest the presidency is her's for the taking, and her four years as America's top diplomat have worked wonders on her popularity. However, Mrs. Clinton's public image has changed a bit since she started at Foggy Bottom, and I think this may indicate she has already decided to stay out of the race.
In her pre-State Department days, Mrs. Clinton was not known as the most likable, or fun, politico. Over the last four years, however, her public manner was so lighthearted on several occasions that she was dubbed "Secretary of Cool." Highlights include the time she was seen partying with her staff in Colombia last April, and then when she wore Mardi Gras items to a State Department event in June.
These episodes reminded me of Al Gore's antics when he guest-hosted "Saturday Night Live" on Dec. 14, 2002. Most memorably, the famously stiff, boring and unlikable former vice president climbed into a hot tub with comedian Chris Parnell, who was impersonating then-Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman, Mr. Gore's vice-presidential running mate in 2000. Needless to say, Mr. Gore's foray into comedy garnered a lot of attention.
Of course, the day after the show aired, Mr. Gore announced that he would not run for president in 2004. It was suggested at the time that Mr. Gore had made his decision months before his "SNL" appearance, and was simply no longer worried about upholding an extremely serious image. I can't help but wonder if the same thing has transpired with Mrs. Clinton.
With Mr. Biden, there's little doubt in my mind that he will run. He's already made it pretty clear that he wants to make a third try for the presidency. However, between his age (in politics, most people are attracted to newness) and constant gaffes, I highly doubt he will go very far.
Regardless, it will be fun to watch this process play out.

Approximately 1.4 million Americans are expected to travel outside the U.S. for medical care in 2016, according to Patients Beyond Borders.
Medical tourism has gained popularity in recent years as people across the world look to access less expensive or better quality medical treatment.
From Asia to Latin America, below are five of the most popular medical tourism destinations, according to The Huffington Post.
1. Costa Rica. The World Health Organization ranked Costa Rica's healthcare system slightly above that of the U.S. this year. About 15 percent of international tourists visit the country specifically for medical services, according to the article. The average savings in healthcare expenses for Americans is significant. A knee replacement in Costa Rica costs on average $9,500 compared to $34,000 in the U.S.
2. Colombia. Between 2012 and 2013, medical tourism in Colombia spiked by more than 60 percent. Approximately 50,000 medical tourists spent an estimated $216 million in the Colombia healthcare system in 2013. Eight hospitals in Medellin ranked among the top 43 medical facilities in Latin America last year, according to America Economia.
3. Mexico. Mexico's combination of U.S.-trained physicians, modern hospitals, low prices and proximity to the U.S. has made the country a popular medical destination for U.S. residents. In fact, several private U.S. hospital chains own or have affiliated with hospitals in Mexico, including the International Hospital Corporation of Dallas and CHRISTUS Health in Irving, Texas.
4. Malaysia. Medical tourism has taken off in Malaysia and gained fame globally for its affordable medical prices. About 80 percent of all medical tourists in Malaysia come from neighboring countries, including Thailand and Singapore, and more than 80 percent of all medical tourists in the world visited Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore in 2012. Eight Malaysian hospitals have earned Joint Commission International certification
5. Thailand. The World Health Organization ranked Thailand among the world's 50 best healthcare systems this year. Many physicians undergo specialized training abroad (typically in the U.S. and Europe) and Thai hospitals are staffed with translators to assist foreigners if they have problems communicating with medical professionals.

I'm back! I know- it's been absolutely forever since I last blogged and I promise (if anyone is still reading this!) that I won't take such long blogging breaks anymore. Life, work, Scrabulous and other things have gotten in the way of Tuna Toast but I am happy to be back and even happier to report about my recent trip to Mexico City.
I went for just a few days last week to meet up with J, and saw and tasted so many gorgeous things that I think I'll have to break my Mexico City posts into several. First of all, I love Mexico City. It's such a vibrant city with so many smells, colors and flavors and is definitely what I like to dub a "real big city." To me, Paris, Tokyo and New York also fall into that category- and Los Angeles, the one I actually live in- does not. Sure LA is technically a big city but with a lame mass transit system that few people use, the inability of residents to get anywhere without a car and restaurants closing their doors at around 11:00 PM, it just doesn't have the energy or convenience of the other cities I mentioned.
Having planned my trip in advance, I'd made reservations at Izote de Patricia Quintana for our first night in the city. I'd read a lot about this restaurant whose chef has helped put Mexico City on the gourmet map by drawing heavily on indigenous ingredients and was very excited to try it. The restaurant was very colorful and was filled with fashionable men and women- it is located in Polcano, which many call the "Beverly Hills" of Mexico City. We ordered drinks (tequila for my friend, a dark beer for J, margarita for me and "Coke Light" for my friend LS who doesn't drink) and looked over the English menu. There were so many interesting options that it was difficult to make a choice, but after consulting each other on what we were getting (to make sure there were no duplicates!) we ordered our food.
We were given a basket of large, crispy tortillas made with blue corn and a trio of salsas. All were very tasty, with the salsa verde being everyone's favorite. They were the perfect accompaniment to our drinks- my margarita was perfectly tart and strong, while JI's tequila shot came with a second shot glass filled with a savory, spicy tomato juice. It was so delicious I would have drank it as a soup had it been served to me in a bowl. I also loved that the waiters would bring your glass to the table and then fill it up with the tequila of your choice. Ditto if you ordered a tequila and tonic- they would pour the tequila into your large glass until you said to stop, then top it off with the tonic. I'm not really sure if they would keep pouring if you just sat there until the tequila filled your glass but I imagine they would.
Shredded venison
We had decided to share a couple of appetizers to whet our appetites. The shredded venison with achiote and picked onions was my favorite- it had a very chewy texture that was strange at first, then became addictive….each rope-like piece was so flavorful and, when rolled in warm, handmade corn tortillas, was pretty much all you needed with any cocktail. The four small tamales were also good but so tiny that it was really a challenge to split them all up between the four of us. Since they were each a different flavor we wanted to try them all, and the one with huitlacoche (black corn mold) was definitely the winner. It was slightly pungent in the way a truffle is and added a nice contrast to the slightly sweet masa surrounding it.
Ceviche in chile
Chile and cinnamon rubbed filet
After those plates were cleared, our main courses arrived and so many different scents wafted through the air I could hardly wait to dig in. J had a beautiful fresh chile stuffed with sweet, tender chunks of salmon ceviche. It wasn't tart like most ceviches but just slightly tangy and mellow- I definitely tasted pineapple juice in there somewhere- and was so perfectly cooked in the acid. JI's chile and cinnamon rubbed steak was so flavorful and aromatic- it's something I'd love to try at home- and we noticed that a lot of people had ordered it as well. L ordered the rib eye with an apple and sweet potato puree which was less sweet than you may think and a wonderful match to his juicy steak. I went with the lobster enchiladas with pumpkinseed sauce which, quite honestly, was the best I'd ever had. The pumpkinseed sauce was sweet and creamy at first bite, but that sweetness slowly evolved into a mellow yet fiery heat in the back of my throat. It was so deep in flavor and, had I used a few pieces of bread to sop up the sauce after I'd eaten the enchiladas.
Rib eye with apple and sweet potato puree
Lobster enchiladas with pumpkinseed sauce
Being vacation and all, we had to order dessert (of course) and the four we chose were all very impressive. J went with a trio of sorbets- the guava being the best one- which came with a Florentine made with pumpkin seeds. L had to go with the chocolate box with chocolate truffles, blackberries, raspberries, and a vanilla custard sauce which we all pretty much dug into once we saw the creamy custard literally spilling out of what looked like a paper bag made of chocolate. Talk about over the top! JI's crepes filled with a hazelnut chocolate filling and a vanilla custard sauce were voted our favorite, and my crème brûlée of mamey (a melon that looks kind of like a mango and I saw everywhere at the Mercado) had a golden, crispy topping and hid a pile of warm berries at the bottom of the dish. I took a couple of bites and couldn't eat anymore but the rest of the table ended up making a pretty big dent in it.
We rolled ourselves out of Izote with full bellies and big smiles. I saw Patricia Quintana wandering around the dining room but was too shy to say anything to her. I think it's cool that a female chef is making such an impact on the culinary world, and we certainly enjoyed her unique creations.

Very nice writeup about Izote! Thanks for posting it.
You might like to know that the "tomato juice" that came with your friend's tequila is called sangrita and is actually made with citrus juices (usually orange and grapefruit) and chile de árbol.
Have a look at my blog, Mexico Cooks! If you'd like to link to it on your blog roll, that would be great.
Best to you

) which can help enhance site interaction and reader's experience. pl contact me at email@example.com so that i can send you the slideshow widget for your blog.
Actually, the sangrita at Izote is made with tomato juice. There are as many sangritas as there are bartenders. It's now about a 50/50 chance it's made with tomato juice.
HI, i live in México, near the México city, and i work in a magazine "vida CULINARIA" www.vidaculinaria.com.mx <-- visit the site, and every month we interview one chef, and tomorrow we are going to visit Patricia Quinatana, if you wish, you can see the results in january 2009, because we already have the interview for the next month.

Your dining experience looks amazing. A large part of my family is from Mexico City and my husband and I are planning a trip out there in September for a cousin's wedding. My husband is a Chef at Mozza here in LA, and really wants to experience all aspects of Mexico City's gastronomy. I'm going to have to make a reservation at Izote. Thanks for sharing your experience.

A knowledge representation problem can be sometimes viewed as an element of a family of problems, with parameters corresponding to possible assumptions about the domain under consideration. When additional assumptions are made, the class of domains that are being described becomes smaller, so that the class of conclusions that are true in all the domains becomes larger. As a result, a satisfactory solution to a parametric knowledge representation problem on the basis of some nonmonotonic formalism can be expected to have a certain formal property, that we call restricted monotonicity. We argue that it is important to recognize parametric knowledge representation problems and to verify restricted monotonicity fir their proposed solutions.

SECAUCUS -- In anticipation of medical emergencies that could result from Hurricane Sandy's wallop, Hudson County hospital officials are checking generators, making accommodations for additional staff, and ordered extra food.
"The Jersey City Medical Center is opening its command center at 7 a.m. Monday morning," said hospital spokesman Mark Rabson. "We have extra staff who are staying over. We have arranged sleeping quarters for them and parking outside of low-lying areas.
"We will use areas, such as cafeterias and conference rooms to house staff," Rabson added.
The hospital's "command center" is located on the third floor of the Downtown hospital, next to the emergency dispatch center. The command center will be in constant contact with the governor's office and other local municipalities, Rabson said.
Allyson Miller, the spokeswoman for Hudson Hold -- owners of the Bayonne Medical Center, Hoboken University Medical Center and Christ Hospital in Jersey City -- said staff at its hospitals have "topped off fuel for generators, topped off all medical supplies, and reviewed all vulnerable electronic equipment and implemented plans to protect that equipment."
"We have a staging area ready to be setup to receive any patients transferred from other medical-related facilities that may need to be evacuated," she added.
The hospitals have also tested all power failure phones, updated phone lists, and ordered additional food to be delivered on or before Monday, Miller said.
Meadowlands Hospital Medical Center in Secaucus is rolling its "mobile medical center" for Hurricane Sandy.
"MHMC is planning a mobile medical center on high ground in both Secaucus and West New York, an expanded version to our response during Hurricane Irene,"
Meadowlands Hospital Medical Center Acting President and CEO Lynn McVey said in a statement. "As the storm evolves, MHMC will continue to work toward making the residents in its area safe and have access to quality medical care. We certainly are ready."

In October 2012, a dream was realized for two dynamic ovarian cancer survivors: Anne Tonachel and Robin Bray. Their dream was to provide a restorative retreat for other ovarian cancer survivors in the northeast. When the amazing Kennedy family of Camp Kieve and The Kennedy Learning Center provided the retreat space (in honor of a family member with ovarian cancer), this restorative retreat was born.

Welcome to Your Daily Nerd Thing. You may be wondering why there have been so few Nerd Things this week. Well after I got home from Wizard World Chicago I got sick. So I have been in bed resting and getting better for a few days. Today I was finally feeling well enough to post and luckily a new trailer for Terminator: Dark Fate showed up on the internet.
The Terminator franchise has gone to a lot of different places over the years. Some of them better than others. Word on the internet is they are trying to learn from the past mistakes of other movies with this one. It is still two months away from release so we will find out then if it works out.


text: WildPackets was one of the first companies to come out with a protocol analyzer (AiroPeek) designed to analyze network traffic in 802.11b wireless networks. And while many people think that 802.11b is just Ethernet running in a wireless environment, many additional factors bear analysis when troubleshooting wireless networks. Cynics might say this white paper is merely a marketing piece put out by the company to promote their product. Though there are screen shots taken from AiroPeek, we found that the paper presented the issues associated with wireless analysis in a fair and unbiased manner. If you're interested in how wireless networks really work, this paper is worth a read.

ISM Employment Indexes Above Fall 2007 Levels
Professor Mark J. Perry's Blog for Economics and Finance
It may be that the DoL report was a fluke. Still, employment and real estate are struggling.
The Fed needs to pull out all of the stops.
The Japan Wing of the Fed is strong, but I think Bernanke will prevail.
Only once, in 1965, has the 3 month moving average of the New Orders-Inventory ratio in the ISM Manufacturing Report declined to zero and the ISM Composite Index has not gone into contraction.
Who ya gonna believe? Goldilocks Kudlow or your own lying eyes.
'da chart.
The data says that the probability that ISM Manufacturing Index declines to below 50 (contraction) in the next 3 months is palpably high.
The 2009 recovery, as measured by GDP, has been nothing more than inventory accumulation. Final domestic sales are putrid. The inventory gig is up.
According to the Institute for Supply Management's November statistics, manufacturing employment has been growing for twelve consecutive months and non-manufacturing employment has been growing for three consecutive months. The ISM's employment data are flawed: overall unemployment rates increased in November. Unemployment rates worsened throughout 2009. Since August, 2009, unemployment rates have stayed within narrow limits: 9.5-10.1% (official federal statistics) and 14-18% (true unemployment statistics).
The bottom line: Our financial recovery has stalled, and our employment recovery is nonexistant.
@Benjamin: The Federal Reserve already has taken too many wrong actions. By reducing interest rates to nearly zero, those with savings have been hurt financially. By creating hundreds of billions of dollars out of thin air, the Fed has set us up for inflation that will strike when (if) the economy recovers. This will again hurt those with savings (while benefiting those with debt, particularly our federal government). Policies that repeatedly hurt persons and corporations who have savings always are bad for the economy in the long run.
Dr. T:
Some quarters have been warning about inflation for years now. Instead, we have a sinking core CPI, and falling unit labor costs, and real estate prices in the toilet. We have the lowest recorded rates of inflation since 1962 (?) and some say the CPI overstates true inflation.
On the savers vs. borrowers argument: If rates comes down, if hurts savers and helps borrowers--and it is borrowers who create jobs, build businesses and develop real estate.
Can't see the moral virtue in this argument--if anything, it lies with business borrowers. They are the ones who build our economy.
Study Japan for what happens when a central bank develops a fetish for low inflation. Property and equity values there are down 75 percent in 20 years--and still squishy. They are in their 18th straight month of deflation now, another sustained bout of deflation.
Never, ever let the gold-nut money-fetish crowd get control of your central bank. If that happens, buy government bonds, shut down your business, and take a 20-year nap. Like Japan.
People are not going to hire with tax increases looming and health care costs going up.
Benjamin said:
If rates comes down, if hurts savers and helps borrowers--and it is borrowers who create jobs, build businesses and develop real estate.
Under natural conditions, it is those savers who provide the capital to the borrowers. We have already seen what happens when savings rates drop nearly to zero and the Fed materializes the lending capital in their place.
Boom -- then bust. It hardly makes sense to repeat it.
"On the savers vs. borrowers argument: If rates comes down, if hurts savers and helps borrowers--and it is borrowers who create jobs, build businesses and develop real estate."
Benji, you are missing an important point here. Where do you think the money comes from that is borrowed? Without some deferred consumption, there can't be any growth.
Ron H.--What we have now is a gut of savings--globally. Gobs of money in corporate bank accounts, gobs of money in money market funds, every Treasury auction oversubscribed....money on the sidelines in hedge funds, private equity funds, sovereign funds etc.
There was a time when I was growing up we talked about "crowding out," the federal government pushing out others from debt markets.
Those days are over--the globe has capital gluts.
If savers do not buy Treasuries, or corporate bonds, where do they go? It would be great if they start spending or really investing their money,
Get used to it: Capital is abundant and cheap.

"Gobs of money in corporate bank accounts, gobs of money in money market funds, every Treasury auction oversubscribed....money on the sidelines in hedge funds, private equity funds, sovereign funds etc."
And if this toilet is plugged as you describe & near overflowing, what do you suppose the correct solution was? To flush again in the form of QE2?
"Gobs of money in corporate bank accounts, gobs of money in money market funds, every Treasury auction oversubscribed....money on the sidelines in hedge funds, private equity funds, sovereign funds etc"...
Why should the owners and managers of this money take a chance on spending/investing these 'gobs of money' when there's no confidence in this questionable administration and its enablers in the leftist/progressive Congress that are making future conditions for business very dicey?
Over at the Pragmatic Capitalist the apparent attitude over these ISM numbers isn't as optimistic...
'The latest ISM Manufacturing report was once again very strong. But a look at the underlying data shows what might be a potential red flag'...
Ron H.
When the toilet is plugged, the proper solution is not to stop crapping. That is what the Republican Party wants and does, causing excretum is escape from other orifices.
The right solution is to clear the plug, and ascend the throne.
You will feel much better!
"That is what the Republican Party wants and does, causing excretum is escape from other orifices"...
Speaking of which pseudo benny that is exactly what your comment is...
Is this another of your episodic but bizzare 'California dreamin' happenings again?
Let's see. The number is surprising because by all appearances, manufacturing and non-manufacturing jobs are increasing. At the same time, dems are trying to make a political issue (shocking, I know) out of expiring unemployment benefits.
Hmm. Could it be that they fudged the unemployment number in order to sway public opinion in the benefits debate against those mean, heartless republicans who don't want to help the unemployed?
Um... Yes.
Benjamin, would you please reconcile these two statements of yours:
1) "The Fed needs to pull out all of the stops."
2) "Get used to it: Capital is abundant and cheap."
"Could it be that they fudged the unemployment number..."...
Someone at the American Thinker had a somewhat similer thought: Fantasy Figures, Real Pain
The real question is, Why are there so few jobs being created? A severe recession like the one we experienced in 2008-2009 is supposed to be followed by a rapid, "V-shaped" recovery. That is what happened following nearly every previous recession. But it is not happening this time. So what's different?
The difference is that Democrats have spent the last two years engaged in an orgy of new spending, regulation, litigation, and taxation -- all of it squarely aimed at America's most successful businesses. Among the thousands of new regulations in the health care reform bill and the Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation is a potentially devastating requirement that retailers report whether their goods contain "conflict metals": gold, tungsten, and the like mined in war-torn Central Africa...
The Fed needs to follow Milton Friedman's advice, and print money until we get solid economic grwoth and mild inflation.
Google Japan, Hoover Institution and Milton Friedman, and read up on Firedman's report in Hoover Institution website, re Japan.
The Nipponistas want a Japan replay here. Don't let them prevail.
"The Fed needs to follow Milton Friedman's advice, and print money until we get solid economic grwoth and mild inflation."
Benji, You didn't answer Plamen's question. If money is abundant and cheap, why should the Feds print more? Your response to me also missed the mark by a long shot. You offered no suggestions on how to remove the plug, nor did you explain why you thought flushing again was a good idea.
"The Fed needs to follow Milton Friedman's advice, and print money until we get solid economic grwoth and mild inflation"...
Milton Friedman actually said that?!?!
Surely you jest pseudo benny or do you have a credible source for that supposed statement?
Hot flash from the Business Insider: The Jobless Recovery: 25 Unemployment Statistics That Are Almost Too Depressing To Read
Ron, et al-
Sorry, once toilets are introduced, all I can think of are toilet-poop jokes.
The link above is Friedman's advice to Japan, and to America too.
Did you ever see the very funny movie, "No Time for Sargeants," starring Andy Griffith? The toilet scene is to die for.
Benji, rather that invoking Friednman, whose recommendation was intended to increase bank reserves under very different circumstances, you need to explain why already high bank reserves should be increased even more.
Hey pseudo benny thanks for the link: Reviving Japan...
I think you might take another look at the article and consider what Ron H is saying in his comment...
Please see this link, whihc should answer your questions...
Friedman would be in the QE2, maybe even advocate more forceful actions.
BTW, Friedman thought the gold standard was for semi-religious nuts....
"Please see this link, whihc should answer your questions..."
No, Benji, it doesn't. You are again quoting Friedman as channeled by Irwin,through Beckworth, through DeLong. It's a ridiculous stretch to compare Japan in 2000 with the US today.
I would love to hear in your own words why you think more money is needed on top of an already abundant supply of cheap money.
Benjie, you do contradict yourself by saying that capital is so readily available but more pump priming is necessary. In that article by Friedman, he says that Japan should increase its money supply but counsels against overdoing it as in the past. His argument is that one can have too low money growth and one can have too high and in Japan's case it was arguably too low in the low 90's and he says it should have been raised a bit.
As for our current situation, Bernanke knows exactly what he's doing when it comes to monetary reserves, he pumped a trillion dollars into banks' coffers and is ready and waiting to take it out when the economy recovers. Where he possibly erred is in buying so many mortgage-backed securities the first time around, $1 trillion worth, and another half trillion in govt bonds now, effectively spreading those losses on the taxpayer. Another big concern is if he will be independent enough to pull out those reserves to nip inflation in the bud as the economy starts growing, if he can weather the hail of criticism that's sure to come his way that he's pulling out too soon and "killing" the recovery. All in all, he knows what he's doing, but he's perhaps doing too much and taking too many risks: QE2 is very likely another mistake, forget about more.

In this so-called golden age of television, saying "there's nothing to watch" is one of the biggest lies you can tell yourself. On the contrary, there's too much to watch—and a lot of it is good! Remember when "Must See TV" was just one night? Now it's every night. It's 10 times a night. Must-See TV is just any TV that happens to be turned on, and frankly, as has been remarked time and time again, it's too much for many of us to handle.
Below you'll find a selection of shows that no one would stop talking about in 2016, but that we couldn't find the time (or the desire) to watch.
No offense to any of them (we're sure The Night Of is great), it's just that...something else was on.
This Is Us
I refuse to engage with this manipulative melodrama, purely off the strength of the excessive praise for a show I presume to be mediocre at best. There are two timelines happening? Like Westworld? And people cry? Some people are related? In my preview of 2016 TV pilots earlier this year, I advised everyone to "Skip" this, and yet you all didn't listen and now we have a This Is Us mess on our hands and the show has broken ratings records and earned Golden Globe nominations. The New York Times wrote in September: "Watching 'This Is Us' is like getting beaten up with a pillow soaked in tears" and described the series as one of those "cry-time dramas, those heart-on-sleeve series about ordinary people with ordinary problems." Mandy Moore meanwhile described it as "cathartic entertainment." No? Per Rich's review, I don't want to ball through an entire episode of a show starring Mandy Moore. This Is Me Not Watching.
The New Yorker's Emily Nussbaum called the six-episode series "a precision black-humor mechanism, a warped and affecting fable about one single woman's existence." Frankly, Fleabag sounds like another show about a rando white woman, though it seems to have the ingredients of a critical cult hit: sex, dark humor, London. I just can't quite find the care or energy to sit down and watch. Plus, Bobby Finger pointed out to me that the star, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, looks like several different people. I see Marion Cotillard. I see Rose Byrne. I see Lizzy Caplan. I would be thinking about that the whole time.
Mozart in the Jungle
The title of this show is dumb and perplexing. Is it about Mozart? There's an orchestra person... Is it about a jungle or is that figurative? This exchange earlier this year between Jezebel's Kate and Madeleine (the writing appears to be terrible) made me hesitant to approach the show and so I didn't and I won't.
The Night Of
This show has popped up frequently on my social media feeds and I'm always like, Should I watch it? Then I'm like, eh. Believe me, I want to—it's on HBO, a network I generally trust to produce universally "good" shows, and it's great that the lead, Riz Ahmed, is an actor of color (British Pakistani). But here's my rationale: I don't have time. I asked Julianne (who wrote about the finale of the mini-series) what the show is about and she said: "It's basically about a Muslim Pakistani college student from Queens who steals his dad's cab to go to a party and then picks up a chick who makes him do a bunch of coke and ecstasy and ends up dead, and then a lawyer with terrible eczema believes he is wrongfully accused so helps him with his case. The eczema is very important. The eczema is like, the third main character." Love it, sounds amazing. I'm not watching it.
Game of Thrones
I've been meaning to catch up on Game of Thrones for about three years now, but it seems there's always something more digestible to binge on, i.e. lately I've been spending those hours on Showtime's Shameless. Even though I adore dragons, and the idea of losing myself in a fantasy world full of them is alluring (I made a valiant attempt to get through Episode 1 of Season 1), I feel all hope is lost on joining the GoT fandom. This is a great show that I fear I can't get into and I truly am sorry.
While few people I actually know have been telling me to watch This Is Us (that's mostly just been the breathless reports of its Nielsen ratings and Tweets from news outlets screaming about how it's "emotional AF"), my friends—people I have met and confirmed to be real human beings—spend a significant chunk of the past year suggesting that I watch Unreal. "I know you're bad with TV," they'd say. "But this is so up your alley." For a while, I believed them. I was willing to give the first season a go, when suddenly those same friends publicly expressed their disappointment with the second season. And that's what did it. That's why I slammed on the brakes. Why would I invest time into a wonderful first season if the second season has been panned? If I don't get in on the ground floor of a show, it's hard for me to find a reason to catch up. But once I'm in, I'm in. (See: Game of Thrones and Homeland, both of which have had entire seasons I've despised.)
The Night Manager
This is one of those shows that I remember everyone talking about for exactly four weeks. In those four weeks, I would get home from work, think about what to cook for dinner (a monumental task in and of itself), and then decide what to watch while eating it. I was told The Night Manager was great! Just six episodes! Feels like a movie! This is what I'm looking for in a television show, and yet, when I finally bit the bullet and tried watching an episode on my AMC app one night, the show was no longer available! As a subscriber to a cable package that includes AMC, this angered me. I could have looked for the episodes elsewhere, but you know what? It was easier to just turn on a DVRed episode of The Golden Girls. So that's what I did. Sorry, Tom! You lost your shot! I'm never going to know what the hell went on in that hotel with you and the guy from House or whatever!
Gilmore Girls
When asking friends and family members who have been fans of Gilmore Girls since its premiere some 16 years ago whether it's a "good" show I should bother watching, I'm usually given one of the following three responses:
- I mean I loved it back in the day. But I think you might think it's bad.
- No to both questions! But I can't wait for the Netflix episodes.
- They talk about coffee a lot! You love coffee!
These are not good ways to convince me to watch anything, let alone spending the time to watch its 153 original episodes before even getting to the new shit. I haven't even watched The Wire yet! Or Breaking Bad! Or Roseanne, which I started several months ago and never finished. Also I skipped to the end of the last episode to hear "the last four words" and groaned without even knowing who those two women were.
The Crown
When I found out this show would last not one or two or three or four or FIVE, but SIX seasons, I gave up on it immediately. Full stop. No time for arguments. No time for reviews. I'm all for learning more about the life of Queen Elizabeth II, but do I need 60 hours to hear that story? I could read a biography of this woman in less time, and even then, only be marginally satisfied because Queen Elizabeth II is arguably the least interesting Queen in English history. Like, what about Victoria, who (for better or worse) expanded the shit out of the British Empire? Or Elizabeth I, whose life story is like 300x more interesting than number 2's?
I could see a 2.5-hour biopic on QE2. Maybe even a nice six-hour BBC miniseries! But sixty episodes of smoke-filled rooms, Elizabeth's quiet, pained glances at Phillip, and corgi after corgi after corgi? No thanks. I'd rather watch the Cate Blanchett Elizabeth 24 times.
This Is Us

Mention The Breakfast Club and what comes to mind for most people is the 1985 American coming of age comedy-drama film featuring five high school students who meet for detention, pour their hearts out to each other, and discover how they have a lot more in common than they thought.
Fast forward to present day and you will find a different breakfast club that meets each Friday in Winnipeg Beach. This group of "club members" may be as diverse as the high school students but detention isn't what brings them together.
Almost five years ago, two people, Holly and Sherry, got together and had breakfast. Soon they invited some of their friends to come too, and before long those friends invited their friends to attend also.
The group gradually grew into what it is today — nearly 20 people who gather to share the most important meal of the day. For the past year, they have met at Bonnie's Restaurant in Winnipeg Beach, however prior to that, in many other restaurants throughout the region.
Although the food and coffee are a vital part of the draw, what really brings this group together is the power of networking and support. These are healers, therapists, artists, business owners, community activists, caregivers and generally wonderful people to hang out with.
During the consumption of food and beverages there is laughter, encouragement, congratulations, event announcements, support and the sharing of ideas. The hour flies by and everyone parts amidst hugs and best wishes until the next Friday.
The members of this "breakfast club" definitely have a great deal in common. All of them appreciate good food, fresh coffee, great company and the chance to share their lives with each other.
Earlier this year they also began sharing the cost of lottery tickets and when the big win comes in, breakfast could be someplace warm and tropical.

2017 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 for Sale in Southern California
If you want a unique, exhilarating experience from behind the steering wheel, it's time to track down a 2017 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 for sale in Southern California. This car serves up plenty of performance, complete with an aggressive attitude that sets it well apart from the crowd. Each time you go anywhere, even daily errands transform into adventures.
Blistering Performance
The Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 might to the ignorant look like just another Mustang, but it doesn't perform like it. One of the key differences is a 5.2-liter V-8 engine with a flat-plane crank. The design makes this engine snarl at high RPMs. You have at your command a mighty 526 horsepower and 429 lb.-ft. of torque, making this the most powerful naturally aspirated engine for a Ford street model.
Each time you press on the accelerator, the performance exhaust system growls to life. It features active valve technology, so you can cruise in relative silence whenever necessary. Quad tips make a strong statement at the vehicle backend.
To keep all that power in check, Ford includes a MagneRide Damping System. Each second, it makes adjustments according to the road or track surface. What that means is the best handling and comfort possible at any given moment.
Functional Design
Not only does the 2017 Mustang Shelby look great, its design works to boost performance. For example, the rear diffuser produces downforce, adding stability as you travel at higher speeds. That diffuser also channels air to the differential cooler, so everything runs perfectly, even during aggressive hot laps.
As you might have guessed, the rear spoiler also does more than make a fashion statement. It increases stability, making it a vital piece of equipment when you hit the track or even travel on the highway.
Unique venting in the hood keeps the engine running optimally. On the underside, different panels help the air to just slip across the chassis, creating less drag.
A Practical Interior
Being a true performance car, the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 interior contains numerous features that hint at its abilities. One of the first you might notice is the flat bottom steering wheel. Accenting the race-inspired design is Alcantara elements and a prominent Cobra logo in the center.
Take on different situations with confidence, thanks to the integrated driver control system. It lets you as the driver choose how the car handles. Have one setting for commuting around town, another for the track, and a third for hitting the open road on weekends. This technology lets you experience the vehicle on a level that suits personal preferences.
Thanks to Track Apps, you can comfortably push your car to the limits. Among the features included in the suite of technologies is electronic line-lock and launch control. Also, you can track various performance metrics such as acceleration times, helping you to hone your skills further.

The Original Appeal of Metropolitan Germanus
NFTU: This appeal was issued by Metropolitan Germanus of Demetrias, after taking leadership of the Greek Orthodox Old Calendarists (along with Metropolitan Germanos of Zakynthos and Metropolitan Chrysostomos of Florina). This document, along with other documenting the early history and positions of the True Orthodox Christians in Greece (i.e. Greek Orthodox Old Calendarists), can be found here.
Hellenic Republic
Metropolitan of Demetrias
Pious priests, honourable wardens of the Churches, and remaining blessed Christians of our most holy Metropolis.
A qualification sine qua non for every pastor is to have love towards our Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ. "Do you love me?" our Saviour asked Peter, "Tend my sheep." Love and faith towards the Saviour and towards the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church that He founded, is what we bishops confess officially before God and men when we take up the hierarchical dignity, certifying that we desire, by divine succour and confidence, to unwaveringly retain the faith of Christ and the holy traditions completely spotless. Upon reaching a thirty‐year period of shepherding the God‐saved eparchy of Demetrias, we retained, with fear of God, the holy traditions, protecting the flock of Christ from every opposing attack, becoming a faithful witness of the divine and holy canons and traditions of our Church.
Unfortunately, men speaking perversely received the succession of the Holy Church of Greece, and, perverting the truth, they substituted it with falsehood and deceit, disregarded the Holy Canons and the Holy Traditions, causing obvious spiritual damage. Our objections were in vain. Our protests were to no avail. Not considering even one of all of these [objections and protests], they disregarded the Festal Calendar [Greek: Heortologion] of our Church, which is inextricably linked to the Paschal Rule [Paschalios Canon], the Sunday Cycle [Kyriakodromion], the fast of the Holy Apostles, and the worship in general, introducing instead of the Orthodox Festal Calendar (Julian), the Gregorian (Frankish) calendar. We, due to love for the Church, for twelve entire years did not cease to advise and admonish the innovators, pointing out the downhill direction the Church had taken leading to the future severing of the unity of the One Holy Church of Christ, and the arising discords, attitudes and riots, but unfortunately we were not listened to. With great sorrow and contrition of heart we were compelled, together with other hierarchs, to overthrow and expel the Gregorian calendar, keeping it only for the daily life and political necessities of the Christians, while embracing the Festal Calendar of our Church, based on the Julian Calendar which was adopted for use by our Church at the Ecumenical Council of Nicea. Remaining faithful to the tradition of the Seven Ecumenical Councils, the ordinances of which our Church respects and unwaveringly retains, we shall collaborate [Greek: synergazometha] with the Orthodox Churches of Jerusalem, Antioch, Mt. Sinai, Mt. Athos, Russia, Poland, Serbia and the remaining Orthodox Churches that keep the Patristic Old Festal Calendar, not acquiescing to remain under the curses and anathemas of the Holy Fathers and the Orthodox Patriarchs, who in Ecumenical and Regional Councils, appointed what is befitting. We are convinced that you shall follow us to the fields of evangelical grace, just as the shepherd treads before the sheep and the sheep follow him, and do not follow, but rather flee, from anything alien. For about 150 years, emperors, hierarchs and mighty men upon the earth were expelling the holy icons from the churches, but the Faith of the Christians proved to be victorious, triumphantly restoring [the icons] to the churches, because "this is the victory that has conquered the world, namely, our Faith." Whenever the people felt their faith being disgraced, they supported and retained [their faith] unscathed and unfalsified throughout the centuries. Therefore stand fast and hold the Orthodox Traditions, keep the Patristic Festal Calendar, namely, the Julian. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may deprive you of your crown, namely, Orthodoxy.
In Athens, May, 1935.
Your fervent supplicant to Christ,
+ Metropolitan Germanus of Demetrias
