375-horsepower LR-V8 and 6-speed transmission
The Land Rover LR4's 5.0-liter LR-V8 with direct fuel injection and torque-activated Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) develops 375 hp and 375 lb.-ft. torque and meets the stringent ULEV2 (ultra low emissions vehicle) regulations. Cam profile switching and a variable-length inlet manifold optimize power and torque across the engine speed range, yielding exceptional responsiveness at all speeds and helping make the LR4 an excellent tow vehicle. (Maximum towing capacity is 7,716 lbs. with a braked trailer.) The LR4 can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in a brisk 7.5 seconds (0-100 km/h in 7.9 seconds).
Engineered for rugged off-road travel, the LR-V8 has a deep, pressure die-cast oil pan to accommodate the extreme tilting angles the LR4 can negotiate. Belt drives are waterproofed, as are the alternator, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump and starter motor. With the use of 5W-20 semi-synthetic oil, normal service intervals are extended to 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months.
The powerful LR-V8 is coupled to a 6-speed adaptive automatic transmission with CommandShift™ featuring Normal, Sport and Manual shift modes. The transmission sends power to all four wheels through an electronically controlled 2-speed transfer case with shift-on-the-move capability.
Trailer Stability Assist helps make towing a trailer safer. This technology detects trailer oscillations by monitoring key vehicle behaviors, such as unwanted steering movements and slight vehicle swing in response to trailer behavior. In such situations, the system can initiate engine torque reduction and braking interventions to bring the towing back under control.
Enhanced Terrain Response
Further enhancements to Terrain Response bolster the LR4's considerable off-road capability. Terrain Response optimizes the vehicle set-up for virtually all on-road or off-road driving situations, with five driver-selectable settings to suit different conditions: General Driving; Grass/Gravel/Snow, Sand; Mud and Ruts, and Rock Crawl. For 2011, this vehicle control system gains new Hill Start Assist and Gradient Acceleration Control.
Hill Start Assist helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when moving from a standstill on an incline. This feature, which works automatically and transparently, momentarily holds brake pressure when the driver's foot moves from the brake pedal to the accelerator. Gradient Acceleration Control is designed to provide an extra measure of safety on severe inclines when the driver does not have Hill Descent Control engaged.
By pressurizing the brake system, GAC slows the vehicle to a limit determined by the throttle position when descending a slope in Drive or Reverse. Otherwise – such as when descending while facing up the gradient with Drive selected – GAC restricts speed to 3 mph (5 km/h) for up to 20 seconds, enabling the driver to regain control.
Hill Descent Control system integrates Gradient Release Control, which restricts the initial rate of acceleration when descending very steep inclines. This action helps to support vehicle control when braking is released at extreme angles.
Luxurious interior
The Land Rover LR4's soft, elegant interior complements the vehicle's signature architectural theme, combining smooth, flowing surfaces with easy-to-use controls. The console is inclined towards the driver, and all models feature a steering wheel with switches to access driver information and operate the audio system, cruise control and steering wheel heating (if so equipped).
Leather seating, dual-zone automatic climate control and a power tilt-and-slide sunroof are among the LR4's standard amenities. A choice of natural-finish woods, along with stitched and wrapped fascia, door casings and center console add to the LR4's handcrafted feel. The available white LED mood lighting casts subtle halos around the metal-plated interior door handles and pockets, as wells the dashboard and center console area.
In all LR4 models, a 5-inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) driver information LCD screen within the instrument cluster displays key information in a clean, simple and user-friendly manner. A hard-drive navigation system, part of the HSE and HSE LUX packages, provides fast route calculation. The "towards guidance" feature supplements the junction map and icon-based information with details of the actual road signage seen by the driver along the route.
Seeing beyond eyesight
The 2011 Land Rover LR4 offers convenient and helpful systems to enhance safety and security. The Vision Assist Package offered for HSE and HSE LUX includes xenon HID headlamps (already standard on HSE LUX); Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS; swiveling headlights); Automatic High Beam Assist (AHBA) and the Surround Camera System.
Automatic High Beam Assist can automatically switch on high beam headlights where external light levels are below the system's threshold. Importantly, the system can also detect traffic ahead, and in a split second will automatically switch back to the low beams to avoid dazzling other drivers.
Five digital cameras make up the Surround Camera System, relaying to the touch-screen a near 360-degree view from the vehicle. The cameras, which support easier parking, towing and off-road maneuvering, function immediately as the vehicle is started, and have options for selecting and zooming in to assist with close quarter parking and with towing.
The "tow assist" function (selected from the touch screen menu) helps the driver execute accurate towing maneuvers. The wide views from the side cameras give a clear picture of the reversing trailer. Guide lines overlaid on the rear camera image illustrate both the vehicle and trailer's trajectory. These line move with steering inputs, making it easier for the driver to predict where the trailer will move to before reversing. Specific characteristics such as type of trailer, number of axles and width guides can be fed into the system to further fine-tune guidance.

30 August 2019. Friday of the Twenty-first Week in Ordinary Time
Reflection (Sem. Glicerio T. Tano)
Many times, I had so many regrets of the things that I was not able to attend to. I am guilty of this "Mañana Habit", which I would always set aside the things that are not necessary at the moment. When I was a Sports Coordinator in the community, I had one significant experience with a brother who reminded me to be always prepared on the materials needed in sports. He specifically reminded me to buy many shuttle cocks since Badminton game had been the most played game in the community during that time. Yet, I forgot to buy those things during my free time because I did not prioritize the suggestion. Then there came a time that alumni priests joined us in our community sports time, and they played a lot in badminton game. Hence, I was not able to accommodate them with new shuttle cocks because I have nothing in my stock. Thus, it was just a learning experience for me and it taught me a lesson to always value the necessary things.
As a priest-in-process, the Gospel reminds me to be always prepare for the many surprises that may go along my way in life's journey. I should always be ready for the coming of the bridegroom, like the wise virgins in the parable. As workers and collaborators of the Church's Mission, this is a reminder for me to be more alert so that my heart will not become drowsy and uninspired especially in my future ministry. This challenges me to always have the foresight to sustain my youthful energy in order for me to be always ready for the surprise that may come in the way in doing the works of Christ, in the hope that my heart may build a better world.
The Gospel Today
Matthew 25: 1 -13
Jesus told his disciples this parable:
"The Kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins
who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
The foolish ones, when taking their lamps,
brought no oil with them,
but the wise brought flasks of oil with their lamps.
Since the bridegroom was long delayed,
they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
At midnight, there was a cry,
'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!'
Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps.
The foolish ones said to the wise,
'Give us some of your oil,
for our lamps are going out.'
But the wise ones replied,
'No, for there may not be enough for us and you.
Go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.'
While they went off to buy it,
the bridegroom came
and those who were ready went into the wedding feast with him.
Then the door was locked.
Afterwards the other virgins came and said,
'Lord, Lord, open the door for us!'
But he said in reply,
'Amen, I say to you, I do not know you.'
Therefore, stay awake,
for you know neither the day nor the hour."

THE Dave Hartley Texas Scramble was held on a beautiful Sunday morning with a full field all starting at 7.45am.
The winners were Kay Hartley, Adam Wright and Martyn Clapp with an excellent gross 60 (net 57.65).
In second place were Ben Filler, Nigel Redman, Martyn Acland and Mike Rossiter with a gross score of 63 (net 59.02).
Enmore Royals entertained Minehead hoping to take revenge for their defeat last month.
In glorious sunshine, the team was led by captain Paul Martin and Martin Collard, who opened the scoring with a convincing 5 & 3 victory.
This result was then backed up by Mike Rossiter and Andy Atkinson winning 4 & 3, Mick Bovingdon and Wayne Hawley winning 2 & 1 and then Bob Rad and Richard Sykes winning 4 & 3.
Nick Thorne and Vince Coombes managed to get a halve a point. The next two games we were pegged back with two 5 & 4 losses for Andy Woods and Bob Shorthouse and Alan Hurford and Pete Clarke.
Normal service was resumed thereafter with victories for the last three pairings of Andy Chambers and Andy Roff, Andy Criddle and Gilmour Thomson and Danny O'Loughlin and Nick Hughes leaving the Royals with a convincing victory of 7.5 to 2.5.
On a fine afternoon, Enmore Park seniors welcomed the seniors from the Wells club.
With the course in very good condition a close contest was anticipated and most of the match scores reflected this.
However, Enmore used their local knowledge to good effect coming home 5-2 winners.
Iain Stewart with Jeff Saunders lead the way with a fine 7&5 victory; other winners were Vince Coombs with Jim Potticary (4&2), Ben Gliddon with Chris Willsteed (5&4), Carl Netto with captain Steve Lukins (3&2) and Peter Farnell with Dave Cousins (3 2).

Massive database breaches have resulted in millions of user identification and authentication profiles being compromised. Identifying unauthorized attempts to access systems or accounts is a basic requirement for financial institutions, etailers, retailers, healthcare provides and other enterprises.
Knowing the difference between employee and attacker behavior is key to avoiding security alert fatigue and using scarce resources to parse the good from the bad access attempts.
Further, collecting information about rogue takeovers for forensics purposes is a a good idea. Security Current's Vic Wheatman speaks on these issues and others with Mark Seward, Vice President of Marketing for Exabeam in this sponsored podcast.

Making a Choice I Could Live With
How you make a decision is sometimes as important as the decision you make.
PUBLISHED November 02, 2015
Merle Sprinzen Tessier has been a marketing and business strategist in New York City for more than thirty years, and began her career in market research.
"I could be found guilty of malpractice if I recommend that you forgo radiation and chemotherapy. Why would you commit malpractice on yourself?"
That was the response of one of New York's leading breast cancer oncologists to my questioning whether the follow-up treatment he was recommending, which was the standard of care, was truly my best option given the particulars of my situation.
I was 54 years old at the time, recently diagnosed with breast cancer and had just had a lumpectomy. I now had three critical follow-up treatments to consider: hormone therapy, radiation treatment and chemotherapy. I needed to make those decisions quickly because there was a small window of time to start some of these treatments if that's what I decided to do. Many people in my situation are most comfortable asking for and following their doctor's recommendations and that's certainly the right path for them. But that's not how I wanted to proceed.
What follows is the story of why and how I investigated the recommended standard of care. I offer it as inspiration and encouragement for those who feel up to — and take comfort in — making their own medical decisions.
As a professional researcher, used to living in a world of probabilities and statistics, I set myself the task of evaluating the data that supported the standard of care the doctors were recommending. That way, I could weigh the pros and cons for myself, factor in my own preferences and values, come to my decisions about follow-up care and be responsible for whatever outcome befell me. But I had no idea how difficult that would prove to be. Not only was that data generally unavailable to the public, I had to summon the emotional courage to fight with and stand up to the doctors I consulted — some of the nation's top practitioners — at a time when I was already stressed by my recent diagnosis and the awareness that my decisions could irrevocably impact the rest of the my life.
Whatever decisions I made had to take into account that my tumor was about 2 cm and estrogen-receptive, the surgical margins were good, the cancer had spread to the sentinel node but not to others, and the Oncotype DX score (a test that measures the risk of breast cancer becoming metastatic) was 9 (which meant the risk of my cancer metastasizing was relatively low). There is a lot of breast cancer in my family and so I was tested for
and was negative.
Hormone therapy seemed to be a no-brainer. The research I read showed that it dramatically reduced the odds of metastatic cancer with very few side effects, if I could tolerate it. Put a check in that box.
Radiation treatment seemed less appealing. On the positive side, it dramatically reduced the risk of recurrence of that cancer in that breast. However, the worst that would happen in the event of recurrence was undergoing surgery again and, in my mind, surgery truly wasn't such a big deal. The downside of radiation, on the other hand, seemed pretty bad: the chance of lymphedema (painful fluid retention and tissue swelling, which I had already experienced from the surgery and
managed to get rid of
, but certainly did not want to go through again), the probability of being unable to repeat radiation if a different cancer showed up in that breast (which would then most likely require a mastectomy), and the probability of being rendered medically ineligible for post-mastectomy reconstructive surgery because of the effects of the prior radiation on the skin. When I compared those possible outcomes to the probability of another surgery in the event of recurrence, I preferred risking more surgery, especially since I was going to be followed very closely and it was likely that any new cancer would be caught early on. The standard of care recommended radiation because of its success in reducing recurrence; as the patient, I felt that it was up to me to weigh that against the possible downsides. No check in that box.
Chemotherapy seemed even less appealing but it took a lot more work to figure that out. Neither of the oncologists I had seen was willing or able to provide me with the data that showed how the odds of my getting metastatic cancer were affected if I underwent chemotherapy.
The first oncologist literally became red in the face with anger at what he considered my insolence in even asking for the data. When pressed, though, he provided frightening data about the consequences of forgoing chemotherapy that I quickly, and easily, discovered to be grossly inaccurate through my own research and consultation with my breast surgeon. That oncologist was also particularly infuriated at the Oncotype DX score having been ordered in my case. He considered my test a waste of time, money and resources because he believed that Oncotype DX scores were invalid if the cancer had already spread to the sentinel node, as mine had, in spite of the research that was being conducted at that very time testing that hypothesis. He was convinced the research would prove the score invalid and therefore dismissed it.
The second oncologist was the one who likened my inquiry to my committing malpractice upon myself. In his view, standard of care trumped any other consideration.
I finally accessed the relevant research by reading back issues of the
New England Journal of Medicine
, which I could competently do because of my background in research and statistics. Also my breast surgeon shared with me the outcome data of patients in his own practice, which he had collected over decades. Here's what I learned. Chemotherapy would probably lower my risk of metastatic cancer 2 to 3 percentage points, a reduction deemed significant enough to become the standard of care. But that was simply not a big enough difference to make a difference to me.
That is the crux of the issue. If, hypothetically, my starting risk were 3 percent and chemo reduced that risk to 0 that would have been significant to me — it would mean my chance of metastatic cancer was practically eliminated. But that wasn't what the statistics were saying. Instead, in my case, chemo would have simply shaved some points off a number that was likely to be below 15 percent to begin with. The downside of chemo, though, seemed huge to me: anemia, weakening heart muscles, possible irreversible changes in my body (chemo can permanently alter one's sensory and bodily references), hair loss, weight loss, depression and the potential of chemo brain (also known as post-chemotherapy cognitive impairment — pleasant sounding, huh?) and even death. I was not willing to risk those side effects for the slight percentage point reduction.
The final test of my decision was my asking myself whether I would regret not having had chemo if my cancer metastasized. My answer was "no," because I would never know whether it would have metastasized anyway and I wouldn't have had to suffer from the effects of chemo. There would be no check in that box.
My battle was not over, though, simply because I had reached conclusions about what I wanted to do and was willing to be completely responsible for those choices. Now I had to find an oncologist who was willing to treat me despite my opting out of the standard of care. My logic didn't matter to the first two oncologists I saw. It was enough for them that radiation and chemo were proved empirically to reduce the odds of local recurrence and metastatic cancer. They were hesitant, at best, and hostile, at worst, to treat me if I chose not to follow their recommendations.
The third oncologist I consulted, a woman in her seventies, began by recommending the standard of care but wanted to know my perspective and was willing to treat me regardless of my choice. We agreed about hormone therapy. On the topic of radiation, she wanted to be sure that I had considered all possible effects of radiation on metastatic cancer in my decision-making. Once she was convinced that I had, she was fine with my forgoing radiation as well. She considered my desire to forgo chemotherapy more of a gray area. Ironically, the issue was gray to her because, unlike the first oncologist, she thought the research testing the validity of Oncotype DX scores in cases where cancer had spread to the sentinel node could find that the scores did remain relevant, but those results weren't in yet. She wanted to bring my case to one of the weekly meetings of her hospital's entire breast cancer practice to fully discuss and debate follow-up treatment recommendations. They supported my decision to forgo chemo.
It's now been six years and I remain cancer-free.
I'm not saying that my decisions are the right ones for everyone in my situation, nor am I advocating against the standard of care. I know women who have fought to do everything they can do to reduce their odds of metastatic cancer even a little bit, and that is certainly the right decision for them. I can also understand women who take greater comfort in trusting their doctors than questioning them and that comfort is likely critical to their personal recovery process.
What I am saying, though, is that I cared deeply about making my decisions about my life in a way that I could trust and not simply rely on doctors' recommendations. The emotional and mental effort to understand, let alone challenge, the standard of care was enormous. But if I hadn't done it, I would never have found out that there were some other, better-for-me, decisions I could make that were different than what the leading authorities were recommending.

It's recommended reading time again. I hope you enjoy these posts as much as I do.
Last week I did not post anything as I was busy volunteering at the North Florida Spartan race. The week before I volunteered to help build/setup the course, always a great time. Last Sunday, only my grandson raced so I helped with the kid's race. It was very rewarding seeing the determination and enjoyment those kids were having. they were covered in sweat, plenty of mud and most had smiling faces. This my grandson with a high five as he crossed the finish line.
So my first article is on how kids need to get:outdoors as often as possible.
So with getting outdoors and exercising: Are Sports Drinks Safe and effective?
I have done a few posts on the importance of staying hydrated: Thirsty?, Drink Some Water
Most people don't have any idea how much food is wasted every year in the U.S., here is a way we can reduce that amount:10 multi-functional foods to reduce food waste.
Also on the environmental side, back in 2013 a young college dropout, came up with an idea on how to rid the oceans of plastic. His idea The Ocean Cleanup, is almost ready. Five years in the making, its ready to set sail. Here's another idea on cutting down on plastic bottles in our landfills. This is the coolest idea ever, meet "Ooho"
The Vegan Junction just published a list of the Top 20 Plant-based Health Professionals to Follow
If you haven't heard of Gary Vaynerchuk, I encourage you to do so. A hard-driving motivational, media giant he tells it like it is. Check out a recent post from him: Cheering For Optimism and The Internet
Here's a great video recipe from Happy Pear: Creamy Vegan Casserole
I hope you enjoy the recommendations this month.
Have a great week.
Be kind.

When I am sewing, I hate to be reaching for pincushion to place my pins, I am always stepping into my trashcan and searching all over for my small scissors. I am always losing my pincushion and my scissors have a magic blending power that makes them invisible to me, so I waste a bunch of time with all of that.
Well that was until this weekend, along with sewing a Cover for our bed Comfort and pillows (That I will be showing as soon as I finish the lamps I want to revamp to go with our bed) I sew this cute little Caddy:
This post contains affiliate links. This means that if you purchase using my links I will receive a commission at no extra cost to you. Read my full disclosure.
The cool thing is that the pincushion is detachable, so I can pin it to the Caddy, to my belt, my shirt or just about anything. I am having so much fun with it :)
– 2 pieces of 23×15 inches (raw color osnaburg)
– 1 piece of 20×14 inches that you will fold in half so it will measure 20×7 inches (Turquoise fabric)
– 4 long pieces of 2 inches wide. (2 of 25inches and 2 of 17 inches long)
– 2 pieces of lightweight interfacing (I use Pellon 808) 1piece of 23×15 inches and 1 piece of 20×7 inches.
– Cutter and matching threat.
Iron the interfacing to the back of one of your big raw color pieces. and to the inside of the pocket (the Pellon piece will only cover half your piece because you will fold it in half)
After folding your pocket (the turquoise fabric) sew the top of the fold about 1/8″ from the edge.
Align the raw color piece that has the interfacing in the back with your pocket like in the picture and sew the left edge.
Once it's sewed measure 1-1/2″ from the edge and make a 1-inch fold, like in the picture.
Measure how big you want your pocket and make another 1-inch fold. (I measure 6-1/2 inches and then folded)
Pin the folds, cut the excess of material in the right side and sew the bottom and the right edge.
Sew the rest of the pockets you would like, I divided the rest of my space in 3 and sew from the bottom edge to the top of the pocket, then stitched to the side 1/4″ and sew back to the bottom to have a double stitch dividing my pockets.
and your pockets are ready, now we need to make the edges.
Place other raw color piece in the back and pin both together.
Place the 2 longer 2inch wide pieces in the back of your caddy.
Pin the edges.
Sew about 1/8: away from the edge.
1- Turn your piece facing up.
2- Make a small fold on the edge of your fabric.
3- Fold it again.
4- Pin it to your piece. Repeat that in both edges.
Sew the edge of your folds and cut the excess of fabric in the ends.
Now for the top and bottom edges is almost the same process. Place the strips of fabric in the back and sew.
Turn the fabric facing up.
1- First you need to fold the end of your fabric up covering the corner.
2- Then make a small fold.
3- Fold again.
4- and pin to secure it in place.
Repeat with the other edge making sure the end folds are tight because if not the edges will not be clean.
When sewing this edge make sure you secure the corner stitching back and forth.
Your Caddy is ready!
Detachable Pincushion
You will need:
– 1 piece of 6×8 inches folded to 6×4 inches. (Showed in the picture of the Caddy Materials too)
– 2 pieces of 2-1/2×6 inches (Turquoise fabric).
– 1 piece of 2-1/2×6 inches of lightweight interfacing (I use Pellon 808)
– A thick bobby pin.
– Glue gun.
Press the interfacing to 1 of the turquoise pieces of fabric and also make 1/4″ folds in both edges. (Both pieces have the folds at the ends)
Make a small cut in the center where you want the pin to be.
Place the bobby pin with the front side facing out to the back of your piece.
Apply a generous amount of hot glue in the back of your bobby pin.

Fabrication and photoactivity of ionic liquid-TiO2 structures for efficient visible-light-induced photocatalytic decomposition of organic pollutants in aqueous phase
Anna Gołąbiewska , Marta Paszkiewicz-Gawron , Aleksandra Sadzińska , Wojciech Lisowski , Ewelina Grabowska , Adriana Zaleska-Medynska , Justyna Łuczak
AbstractTo investigate the effect of the ionic liquid (IL) chain length on the surface properties and photoactivity of TiO2, a series of TiO2 microspheres have been synthesized via a solvothermal method assisted by 1-methyl-3-octadecylimidazolium chloride([ODMIM][Cl]) and 1-methyl-3-tetradecylimidazolium chloride ([TDMIM][Cl]). All as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), scanning trans- mission microscopy (STEM) and the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area method, whereas the photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the degradation of phenol in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm). The highest photoefficiency (four times higher than pristine TiO2) was observed for the TiO2 sample obtained in the presence of [TDMIM][Cl] for a IL to TiO2 precursor molar ratio of 1:3. It was revealed that interactions between the ions of the ionic liquid and the surface of the growing titanium dioxide spheres results in a red-shift of absorption edge for the IL–TiO2 semiconductors. In this regard, the direct increase of the photoactivity of IL–TiO2 in comparison to pristine TiO2 was observed. The active species trapping experiments indicated that O2•− is the main active species, created at the surface of the IL–TiO2 material under visible-light illumination, and is responsible for the effective phenol degradation.

Two things about the Brown win last night:
1. My favorite part was watching Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow try to make sense of it all. Because they couldn't even offer a grace note to the voters by acknowledging that they had made a decision they thought best for themselves and their country. These two just continued to be baffled at the stupid bourgeoisie and their inability to make the right decisions for themselves. Allahpundit liked that part too, because he linked this on Twitter. I actually think the bewilderment looked more like fear because the mob's turned against them. I would feel bad for them but neither of them has ever shown anything other than a tendency toward sarcasm and snark and so I leave them to the bed they've made.
2. There was a comment on Facebook regarding the Brown win by someone who was chastising people for thinking that what happened in Mass. was somehow a vote against the healthcare overhaul because, as this person put it, Mass. has state-funded healthcare so that couldn't be what they were against in voting in Brown. Oh but you see my dear, that is the irony. And it's quite stunning. The voters who live under a microcosm of what could've happened at the federal level had the majority not shifted voted against government funded healthcare. It's interesting and telling and you should chew on what it means a little before deciding that it couldn't possibly be an outcry against a system they enjoy. Enjoy, obviously, is the key word there.
And, for fun and wistfulness, I'm stealing a clip from Stage Right from the 10-year anniversary concert of the London cast of Les Miserables. I saw this cast perform in London as a teenager. Our seats were awful and the theater was hot and sweat-inducing. But oh the music. He posted the following in response to Brown's win. I post the second clip because my college dorm mate and I used to swoon — literally — at the 2:38 mark when they sing "pain." We listened to my CD constantly. People on our hall thought we were so weird. (Love you Bob)

Fire destroys garage, six vehicles
FOSTERBURG — A fire destroyed a garage that houses business and personal vehicles at a home at 4724 Harvestyme Court early Monday.
"The call came in at 6:30 a.m. There was fire coming through the roof when we arrived," a firefighter, who asked not to be identified, said.
He said the fire probably was caused by a faulty furnace. The blaze destroyed a garage that was built on to another garage attached to a home.
Six vehicles were destroyed, the Fosterburg firefighter said. Reportedly, an extended cab Chevrolet Truck, a Chevrolet van, a John Deere Tractor, a 1960s vintage Chevrolet Camaro and another older vehicle were among those in the garage.
The firefighter said their efforts were hampered by extreme cold. The cold causes the equipment to freeze up, slowing the flow of water from the trucks. The firefighters were also finding it difficult.
"It was painfully cold," the firefighter said. "It took a long time."
There were no injuries. Godfrey and Brighton fire protection district members also assisted.
The address houses the family of Frank and Kim Ulett, as well as Advanced Heating, Cooling and Refrigeration. Family members were able to evacuate the home. No residents or firefighters were injured. Ulett could not be reached for comment.
The firefighter did not have an estimate of the value of the damage.
"It was extensive," he said. Once the fire was put out, it rekindled, and firefighters had to return to the scene. The main house was not believed to be badly damaged, but the blaze melted some siding on the outside.
A neighbor said he woke up to see the blaze coming through the roof. He said he also heard two or three explosions coming from the garage. He noted equipment for the heating and cooling company are kept in the garage.

HIV and AIDS
Understanding the difference.
Are HIV and Aids the same? Key differences you may not know.
Understanding the difference.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus is a virus that attacks the body's immune system. More specifically, it attacks the white blood cells (also called CD4 or T-cells) which fight off infections in our bodies and over time the HI Virus eventually destroys most or all of these white blood cells.
You can only be diagnosed with AIDS when your CD4 count is below 200, which means you can have HIV but you do not necessarily and automatically have AIDS.
At this point in time, there is no cure for HIV yet, though the advancements in modern medicine mean we can now access treatment more easily, it's more affordable and easier to administer.
Similar to other chronic manageable conditions, HIV can be controlled allowing the infected person to live many years and even decades after diagnosis. The only way to know if you have HIV is to get tested and these days the testing procedures are simple and fast. Most government health facilities and community health centres offer HIV testing and counselling. It's now even possible to buy a home testing kit at a pharmacy or online. Like most viruses, early symptoms of HIV are also flu-like which include fever, chills, night sweats and muscle aches to name a few. While these can last for days or even several weeks they are not always present in all HIV positive people and some people may have HIV for as long as 10 years without exhibiting any symptoms.
AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome)
HIV and AIDS are not the same things. AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection. When you are diagnosed with AIDS your CD4 cell count is below 200 cells per cubic millimetre of blood. Not everyone that gets infected with HIV will end up advancing to this stage. As your immune system is almost completely destroyed by this stage, you become susceptible to opportunistic infections. People with AIDS can survive for about 3 years without treatment but if they contract a dangerous opportunistic infection, such as pneumonia, this can be reduced to about a year. People with AIDS need to go onto anti-retroviral therapy (ART) and get the correct drugs from their healthcare practitioners to help manage their condition.
The world fights
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has begun an aggressive "treat all "campaign aimed at ending AIDS within a generation. Here are some of the key facts about HIV and AIDS that you need to know:
- HIV continues to be a major global public health issue, having claimed more than 34 million lives so far. In 2014, 1.2 [980 000–1.6 million] million people died from HIV-related causes globally.
- There were approximately 36.9 [34.3–41.4] million people living with HIV at the end of 2014 with 2.0 [1.9–2.2] million people becoming newly infected with HIV in 2014 globally.
- Sub-Saharan Africa is the most affected region, with 25.8 [24.0–28.7] million people living with HIV in 2014. Also, sub-Saharan Africa accounts for almost 70% of the global total of new HIV infections.
- HIV infection is often diagnosed through rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), which detect the presence or absence of HIV antibodies. Most often these tests provide same day test results; essential for same-day diagnosis and early treatment and care.
- There is no cure for HIV infection. However, effective antiretroviral (ARV) drugs can control the virus and help prevent transmission so that people with HIV, and those at substantial risk, can enjoy healthy and productive lives.
- It is estimated that currently, only 54% of people with HIV know their status. In 2014, approximately 150 million children and adults in 129 low- and middle-income countries received HIV testing services.
- By mid-2015, 15.8 million people living with HIV were receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) globally.
- Between 2000 and 2015, new HIV infections have fallen by 35%, AIDS-related deaths have fallen by 24% with some 7.8 million lives saved as a result of international efforts that led the global achievement of the HIV targets of the Millennium Development Goals.
- Expanding ART to all people living with HIV and expanding prevention choices can help avert 21 million AIDS-related deaths and 28 million new infections by 2030.

The image in the exhibition "Terminal" is part of a series that started from my own photograph that was imaged as an inkjet print. The result was altered with direct drawing, collage and paint. The idea for this series came from local construction sites where deep excavations were used to install large concrete structures. These excavations reminded me of archeological digs as if the excavations were uncovering fascinating and timeless artifacts.

Problem: On Windows XP, the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (lsass.exe) grows in CPU usage and memory utilization under heavy load
When ArcGIS Server .NET Web applications and Internet services are under heavy load (more than 25 concurrent requests per second), the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (lsass.exe) system process can become overtaxed. This can cause system performance degradation and, in extreme cases, such as a heavy load over periods of 12 hours or more, machine shutdown.
Web applications and services that work with ArcGIS Server .NET must run as users in the AGSUSERS and/or AGSADMIN operating system group. By default, this is accomplished by configuring a Web service or application to impersonate with a specified identity, when handled by the aspnet worker process.
The components of ArcGIS Server that handle Internet service requests, such as http://myArcGISServer/arcgis/services and http://myArcGISServer/arcgis/rest are, themselves, Web services. By default, these components impersonate the ArcGIS Web services account.
Every time a Web service or application that uses impersonation handles a request, the underlying ASP.NET worker process must use the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service process (lsass.exe) to authenticate. Under normal load conditions, this authentication operation is insignificant.
When a Web service or application that is impersonating is under heavy load (more than 25 simultaneous connections per second) for extended periods of time, the per request authentication operations begin to severely affect the memory and processing footprint of the lsass.exe process.
Solution or Workaround
The burden on the lsass.exe process can be alleviated by altering the configuration of the aspnet worker process and the Web services or applications that are under heavy load.
The steps below outline how to configure the ASP.NET worker process to run with the identity of the ArcGIS Web services user and how to disable per request impersonation for the ArcGIS Server services and REST Web services.
It is important to realize that all other .NET Web applications using default impersonation running on the server are running as the ArcGIS Web services user. Applications and services can still be configured to run as a specific user by setting impersonation in their web.config files.
The following instructions assume that the ArcGIS Web services account is called ArcGISWebServices (the default specified in the ArcGIS Server post installation utility). Modify this account name as appropriate for the system being used.
- Back up and open, in Visual Studio or a text editor, the following file: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config. Locate the <processModel> section shown below (found below the element: <section name="processModel"...>). Add or modify the userName and password attributes inside the processModel element as follows:
<system.web> <processModel userName="MyArcGISServer\ArcGISWebServices" password="MyPassword"/> </system.web>Save the machine.config file.
- Grant the ArcGIS Web services user account permissions to the IIS metabase.
- Open a .NET command prompt with Start > (All) Programs > Microsoft .NET Framework SDK v2.0 > SDK Command Prompt.
- Type the following command at the prompt, substituting the ArcGIS Web services account name as appropriate:
aspnet_regiis -ga ArcGISWebServices
- Close the .NET command prompt by typing 'exit' and pressing the Enter key.
- Grant modify permissions to the ArcGISWebServices user for the C:\Windows\Temp directory.
- Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the C:\Windows\Temp directory.
- Right-click C:\Windows\Temp and click Properties.
- In the Properties dialog box, click the Security tab.
- In the Security dialog box, click Add. The Select Users dialog box opens.
- In the Select Users dialog box, change 'From this location', if necessary, to the location of the ArcGIS Web services account, and type the account in the lower box (or browse to it with the Advanced button). Click OK to return to the Properties dialog box.
- In the Properties dialog box, make sure the ArcGIS Web services user is highlighted, and in the Allow column, check the Modify box.
- Click OK to save and close the Properties dialog box. Windows Explorer may also be closed.
- Set the ArcGIS Web services application to not use impersonation.
- Use Visual Studio or a text editor to open the web.config file in the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ArcGIS\Services folder (the ArcGIS Services folder may have been installed at a different location).
- In the web.config file, change the value for the Impersonate key to false:
<appSettings> <add key="ServiceInfoRefreshTimeInSeconds" value="10" /> <add key="GCInterval" value="10" /> <add key="Impersonate" value="false" /> </appSettings>
Note: If the Impersonate key does not exist, add it by inserting the <add> element and set the key attribute to 'Impersonate' and the value attribute to 'false' as shown above.
- Save the web.config file.
- Set the ArcGIS Web REST application to not use impersonation.
- Use Visual Studio or a text editor to open the rest.config file in the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ArcGIS\rest folder (the ArcGIS rest folder may have been installed at a different location).
- In the rest.config file, change the value for the Impersonate element to false:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Config xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> ... ... <Impersonate>false</Impersonate> </Config>
Note: If the Impersonate key does not exist, add it by inserting the <Impersonate> element and set the value to "false" as shown above.
- Save the rest.config file.
- Restart the ArcGIS Server Object Manager (SOM) service.
- Open the Services console from Control Panel > Administrative Tools.
- Right-click the ArcGIS Server Object Manager service and click 'Restart'.
- Close the Services window.

We took Amber for booster vaccination last Saturday. She was scheduled for Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) booster shot and Chicken Pox (Varilrix) the following month.
We're lucky coz now, a new vacinnation, MMRV - combining both MMR & Varilrix is out and that save Amber's butt from an extra jab. 4 in 1, they call it. My nephew just caught a very bad case of chicken pox and I wanted to get her fully immunized asap.
Her growth measurements at 4year 1 month :
height - 103.6cm
weight - 15kg
head circumference - 51cm
Dr Iean measured her growth charts and she's average for her height and below average for weight, at the lower 25% percentile.
Amber has always been a big baby and her allergy problems has pulled her weight down significantly. In fact she only gained 1kg from her last measurement on March 2009, at 2yr 11 months - weight : 14kg and height : 98.2cm
Dr Iean commented she looks skinny now and asked about her diet. I told doctor about her allergy treatment and he is skeptical of giving Amber the jab since she's allergic to eggs. The MMRV vaccination is not recommended for children allergic to eggs. We discussed and thought about it for a while and since she did not have any major allergic reaction from the first jab, she should be to take the booster shot.
I know the booster shot will not be easy and Amber is bound to have some allergic reaction, to what extent, I am not sure but I gather it should not be life threatening. Dr Wong, Amber's allergy doctor warned me, while Amber is under his treatment, not to expose her to eggs or else she will have a flare up, worst than before. Anyway, I made my own judgement, went ahead with the booster shot for chicken pox. I'd think not vaccinating her will pose a bigger risk of a full bloan attack.
As usual, she wailed like a baby, a baby you want to carry, hold and sooth but she quiet down immediately when the stuck a plaster on her. She likes plasters :)
I could see her sniffing almost immediately and then coughing. Gooey green goo running down her nose and mild temparature at night. We fed her lots of liquids, strawberries and porridge. After 2 days, she's ok.
Now, my next concern if I should get her vaccinated against H1N1, also not recommended for anyone allergic to eggs. I'll have to wait for our next visit to Tangkak and check with Dr Wong.

I remember visiting this website once...
It was called REVIEW: 'The Story of Frozen: Making An Animated Classic' | Stitch Kingdom
Here's some stuff I remembered seeing:
Guardians of the Galaxy Dancing Groot Pop! Vinyl...
Hiro Hamada Figure - Disney Infinity: Disney...
Enjoy this article? You may also be interested in these related items from our partners
On Tuesday night, September 2, 2014, at 8:00 pm ET/PT, the ABC television network will air 'The Story of
: Making an Animated Classic,' an hour-long special that promises to go behind-the-scenes of what Disney refers to as the most successful animated film at all time.
ABC has provided us with a screener of the television special and we are pleased to report that it was (for the most part) an absolute joy to watch from start to finish. Narrated by Josh Gad (voice of Olaf), the special incorporates interviews with stars Kristen Bell (Anna), Idina Menzel (Elsa) and Jonathan Goff (Kristoff/'Sven') along with co-directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, songwriters Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, character lead animators Becky Bresee (Anna), Wayne Unten (Elsa), Hyrum Osmond (Olaf), Brittney Lee, producer Peter Del Vecho and John Lasseter.
good news is — that this is the Blu-ray bonus feature every one was hoping to see. From start to finish (and beyond), the special expertly explores the creative process involved in making the film. Behind-the-scenes footage (much already released as B-roll footage) of the voice actors split-screened with the respective film scenes, watching Elsa build her castle in various stages of animation (according to the special, that sequence alone took 9 months to complete), extensive footage of research trips to Norway and Wyoming and much, much more. Significant time is even paid to how the story evolved, from Anna being a stranger to Elsa, seeking a favor, to the suggestion they were sisters and how 'Let It Go' completely changed the Elsa character, forcing Lee to re-write the script to conform to allow Elsa to no longer be the film's lead villain.
In addition to research footage, the animators also share a lot of live action reference footage, most of which I personally have never seen, including some interesting surprise inspirations that will have to be seen to be believed, though Bresee's self-footage as Anna is only topped by the imagery she used of her own two daughters acting out some of the scenes.
The special also dedicates time to the music of the film, primarily 'Let it Go' and its phenomenal success worldwide, as well as 'Do You Want to Build a Snowman?' which almost didn't make the final cut, as we first reported last November. As this clip from the special explains, the filmmakers didn't feel that the song's sequence was beneficial to the pacing of the film, but it was at the insistence of the Disney 'rank and file' that it be put back in at the near last-minute:
The special also includes some great behind-the-scenes footage of Katie Lopez and Agatha Lee Monn (the daughters of the Lopezes and Lee respectively) performing their parts as Anna in 'Do You Want to Build A Snowman?' Though the special doesn't mention it, Katie's younger sister, Annie Lopez, also has a role in the film as one of the trolls.
The special then turns to the observation of the film's success, relying heavily on many, many, many YouTube videos. At least seven minutes had to be dedicated to showing clips from YouTube videos of kids receiving
and more, and — in one case — not children, but U.S. marines:
John Lasseter, who previously noted the shared anguish of Elsa and his son, Sam, added that this video of a girl painfully having a splinter removed turned to
's success? Nobody really seems to know, though Lee does comment that she can't wait for the current generation of kids to grow up so they can tell her.
What wasn't included in the screener, but is expected to air on ABC, are the sneak peeks at Disney's
, the upcoming season of 'Once Upon A Time,' and 'the future of
on Ice did get honorable mentions (approximately 10 minutes were missing from the screener).
Despite harping a bit too much on the YouTube videos rather than sharing more inside information, 'The Story of
: Making an Animated Classic,' was a joy to watch and it should be a no-brainer for Disney to release it on DVD (maybe bundled with a 3D Blu-ray? but we digress).

Miss Lebanon in hot water after selfie with Miss IsraelBookmark this
Miss Universe contestants are keen to proclaim their desire for world peace, but this year's Miss Lebanon has declared war after claiming Miss Israel muscled in uninvited during a group "selfie."
Saly Greige took to her Facebook page to declare that Israel's Doron Matalon had pushed her way into a now widely-circulated photo showing the Middle Eastern beauties with Miss Japan and Miss Slovenia.
"Since the first day of my arrival to participate to Miss Universe, I was very cautious to avoid being in any photo or communication with Miss Israel (that tried several times to have a photo with me)," Greige wrote in English on her page.
"I was having a photo with Miss Japan, Miss Slovenia and myself, suddenly Miss Israel jumped in, took a selfie, and put it on her social media."
The offending photo, taken in Miami where the Miss Universe pageant is staged, appeared on Matalon's Instagram account on January 11.
It shows Miss Israel with a beaming Miss Slovenia and Miss Japan, and Miss Lebanon, who appears to be gritting her teeth.

A year before the 2016 Olympics in Rio, Michael Phelps made a statement by blowing away expectations at the US Nationals.
Phelps was suspended from last week's FINA World Championships in Kazan, Russia after pleading guilty to a DUI last December.
But while he wasn't able to compete against the best in the world, he still got their attention at a secondary meet on the other side of the planet.
Swimming at the US Nationals in Texas, Phelps won the 200m individual medley in 1 minute, 54.75 seconds, which was faster than the time that won gold at the World Championships and the fastest time in the world this year.
He also posted 2015's fastest times in the 100m and 200m butterfly, and he did it in wake of some serious trash talk from 23-year-old South African swimmer Chad Le Clos.
After Phelps won the 200m fly with the fastest time in six years on Friday, Le Clos slammed him in an interview with Paul Newberry of the Associated Press.
"I'm just very happy that he's back to his good form, so he can't come out and say, 'Oh, I haven't been training' or all that rubbish that he's been talking," he said. "Next year is going to be Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier."
He added the Phelps only swam such a good time because it was against weak competition.
"Look, I don't want to say it's easy to swim by yourself, but it's a lot harder when you know Chad le Clos is coming back at you the last 50 meters," he said. "That's what he's got to think about really."
Le Clos' dad, Bert Le Clos, even got in on things after his son won the 100m butterfly with a 2015 world-best time at the World Championships. He told the AP, "I don't care about his times, because I know my son is going to beat him."
On Saturday, Phelps responded by besting the mark Le Clos set a day earlier. In the 100m butterfly at US nationals he posted a 50.45 seconds — which was .11 seconds faster than the time Le Clos swam to win gold in Russia.
After the race, he high-roaded the South African. He told SwimSwam:
"I saw the times. I saw the comments. There are a lot of things I could say but I won't. I let what I do in the pool do all of my talking and that's how I've always done things. From a standpoint of what anybody else says, that's their own business. You can keep saying anything, I don't mind it, but you won't get a rise out of me."
Phelps was originally going to retire after the 2012 London Olympics, but decided to make a comeback in 2014. After some encouraging times at a comeback meet in April, Phelps announced himself as a legitimate gold medal favorite with his times this weekend.
Even his coach, Bob Bowman, was surprised by the times.
"It probably does change what I thought might be possible in a year," Bowman told SwimSwam.
Phelps says he has quit drinking until after Rio 2016 and is training the way he trained before the Beijing and London games. For the rest of the swimming world, Phelps being dedicated to the sport and already posting world-best times with 12 months to go is a terrifying proposition.

You don't have to be a new mom to earn your right to treat yourself on a regular basis. But if you do happen to be a mom (like me), you have all the more reason to try to sneak aside some well-deserved time to yourself to do nothing else but relax and unwind (don't forget to take some deep breaths while you are at it). For the stressed out mamas of the world (find me a mom who isn't!), a relaxing vanilla bubble bath recipe is just the place to start—preferably with a glass of red wine, if you can get your hands on one before the kiddos start calling for you.
How To Make Your Own Bubble Bath
While most of us love the idea of slipping into a hot bubble bath drawn just for us, let's be honest: it's simply not in the cards for the majority of us. Even just thinking about lying in the tub and staring at the walls, all in an attempt to relax starts to stress me out. There is simply too much to be done!
And while I'm at it, the kids are probably tearing down the house! If I'm going to get a solid chunk of 10 minutes to myself, I might as well use it wisely, which is why a shower is simply a way more efficient use of my time. I can even be in and out of a shower in just a couple minutes, leaving the rest of my sanity-saving time to do other important things like brush my teeth (and maybe even my hair!)—potentially even without my crying, croupy toddler peering around the curtain the whole time.
Gifting a bottle of honey vanilla bubble bath to a mom friend in need (or anyone for that matter) is more of a forceful invitation to take the time needed to relax, even if it means leaving baby to cry in the crib for a few more minutes longer. It makes the perfect gift for the holidays or even a birthday. It is also so easy to make!
Scroll down below to score this simple recipe and consider it an invitation to sneak into the tub once a week at least so you can relax—you deserve it!
Honey Vanilla Bubble Bath Recipe
- 1/2 cup light almond oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup mild liquid hand or body soap (don't use Castile soap!)
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Combine all of the ingredients together in a mixing bowl and pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup under running water. You can keep any excess in the refrigerator.
I will be honest: My first attempt at making bubble bath a couple of years ago was a total bomb. The secret ingredient however is the egg white! It helps to create bigger bubbles that last even longer (although still not huge). Give the water some splishing and splashing to activate the soapyness and take that nice, deep breath (followed by that hearty sip of wine). Time to do some relaxing!

Yes, that number is correct. Google received 75 million DMCA takedown notices in February 2019. Seventy. Five. Million. And the number is expected to grow from month to month for the foreseeable future. How insane is that?
Can you even imagine? You would need a large team of Oompa Loompas to handle that kind of volume. Google, of course, uses software to analyze and process the copyright complaints, but the computing power alone must dim the lights in nearby cities.
Of course, such number raises interesting questions about just how all these Google DMCA takedown notices are processed and whether the DMCA was intended to be used with this kind of volume given the law was enacted in 1998.
Google DMCA Notices
DMCA Notices Gone Wild
The numbers truly are staggering…and growing! Consider:
- Google processes roughly 100,000 allegedly infringing URLs an hour.
- Google "only" processed 300 million complaints in 2014 but is on pace for 900 million in 2019.
Glad I don't run that department.
Of course, the volume of Google DMCA takedown notices raises a very real-world question. When Congress passed the DMCA in 1998 and President Clinton signed it into law, did any of these parties contemplate Section 512 would give rise to a scenario where one company would need to process hundreds of millions of copyright complaints – a number soon to expand into the billions? Surely, the answer is no. And, yes, I will stop calling you Shirley. Regardless, one can't help but contemplate whether Congress should revisit the DMCA to determine if perhaps tiers should be built to mitigate such a burden. Don't get me wrong. I know nobody is going to cry for Google, but you have to admit the numbers are a bit obscene at this point in time.

See this article, a victory for democracy. Supports of this strict voter ID said it was required to prevent voter fraud, the usual specious excuse. The Commonwealth Court said in overturning the law that "the state presented no evidence to support this claim." Yeah, because it has been repeatedly proven that there is no such evidence. However the evidence is clear that the type of voter ID the PA regressives enacted would disenfranchise 500,000 voters, mostly those that vote Democrat.
On a related note, see this article on bi-partisan US Congressional legislation working of fixing the part of the Voting Rights Act struck down by the Supreme Court. And in that wake of that ruling led many regressive States to immediately enact similar voter ID laws to suppress the Democrat vote. We are making progress folks, but you need to get busy and speak out against such tactics and in favor of democracy or you're likely to lose it.

RICHMOND, Calif. (AP) A Northern California police officer has critically wounded a man authorities say was carrying a gun on a city street.
Richmond police tells the Contra Costa Times (http://bit.ly/1yiAI4f ) the officer was investigating a report of a suspicious person when he confronted the man Thursday.

Blue Ridge Getaway
Laura has a birthday coming up, but finding a time to celebrate has been problematic. We had decided to go a getaway the weekend before her birthday, but nature dealt us a blow. Our original plans were to head to Charleston and visit the ACE Basin, then head up to Beidler Forest. Obviously, with all of the flooding in the lower part of the state, that wasn't going to happen. Instead, we decided to head north. I got us tickets for the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. Turned out to be a peak fall color weekend, and a great getaway, even though it wasn't Charleston.

Random factoid.. #7..
Posted March 30, 2009on:
My current boyfriend is my first Filipino boyfriend. I had attempted to date another Filipino in college but that was just a very wierd situation.
In the past, my boyfriends and the objects of various crushes and infatuatins have not been Filipino. I live in an area where, growing up, there weren't many Filipinos to begin with. It's only in the past ten years or so that the Filipino population has grown here considerably.
Also, I'm considered "tall" for a Filipino woman. I'm about 5'6 1/2″ to about 5'7″. For a Filipina.. that is tall.. so it's always been difficult to find a Filipino boy that is taller than me..
Opportunities to get to know some Filipino boys were few and far between.. in fact.. my Filipino boyfriend doesn't even live near me! I had to find one that lives an hour and a half away from me!
It's not that I have NEVER been attracted to Filipino boys.. it's just that I guess I didn't know enough growing up to build a collection "filipino boys I've had a crush on.. or dated.. "
On a cute sidenote:
This Sunday will mark the the one year anniversary of the day that OT and I officially met.. can I get an "awwwwww…"

Manuel Pellegrini's 4-2-2-2
In keeping with 'The Villarreal Project' I saw a perfect opportunity to try & replicate Pellegrini's systems into #FM18. Manuel 'The Engineer' Pellegrini is held in high regard by tactical experts the world over & his fast paced, free-flowing attacking 4-2-2-2 system that he used with Villarreal in 2007-08 is one of those systems that really put him on the map. I will update the changes I make to the tactic as we move through the seasons but I'll now run through how I see this system working.
Tactic Overview
The system itself focuses on width, whilst being compact – this guy was playing 4D Chess before it was a thing!
So let's get started:
The Wide Play
The width of this system comes from the full-backs, at Villarreal he had Javi Venta and Joan Capdevila who were exceptional at bombing forwards and creating an overload in the wide attacking areas. You can also see that he continued this style at Malaga and more recently Manchester City where he had Jesus Gamez & Eliseu, Zabaleta & Kolorov. Having attack minded full backs with incredible physicals is a huge part of Pellegrini's arsenal.
Interiores moving inside to give width to full backs (Google Images)
The Fantastic Four
A foursome of two central defenders and two deep-lying midfielders provide the cover in this system. During the 2007-2008 season Villarreal conceded only 40 goals, less than Barcelona & Atletico Madrid. The two deep-lying midfielders allow a solid platform to build attacks from, they rarely move forward & cover the space vacated by the marauding full-backs.
Holding midfielders creating a hard to break box of four (Google Images)
The Interiores
Interiores (interiores: "interior" (Bra) – midfielders that operate inside the central channel of the pitch; sometimes two attacking midfielders stationed in front of a holding and/or defensive midfielder)
The two 'wide men' in this system are deployed as interiores which means their main job was to drift inside and create space for the full-backs to run into. By drifting inside the idea is that they create confusion to the opposition's full-backs and central midfielders creating a six man attacking phase, in the case of Pellegrini's Villarreal it was Cazorla & Cani that carried out this job. As the interiores drifts inside the full back has to decide whether he follows he man, which will create space for the full-back, or hand him off to a central midfielder which will create triangles with the number 10. Should the interiores move from inside to out there is a chance that the central midfielder will chase him, leaving space for the number 10 to move into.
Example of space created by inside to out movement by interiores
The Forwards
Pellegrini prefers mobile forwards who move into channels and run all over the last third of the pitch, this allows the interiores to affect play without occupying the same space as the forwards. The number 10 often plays in a free-role, players like Guiseppe Rossi, Isco & Sergio Aguero have all occupied that 10 role, his number 9's tend to be a more powerful player in the mould of Guillhermo Franco, Julio Baptista & Edin Dzeko.
How I'll implement this into Football Manager
It will start off with a fairly simple 4-2-2-2 DM system. Interiores aren't roles available in game, so I had the choice of Inside Forward or Inverted Wingers. I chose Inverted Wingers as I think there will be more lateral movement that an Inside Forward who is more likely to cut inside at every opportunity.
In my 2nd game using this system I managed to score a goal that replicates the inside to out movement of the interiores & how the striker drops deep into space:
So for now this is very much a work in progress that'll I'll keep tinkering with until I'm happy with it. As a secondary system I'll attempt the 4-3-1-2 that Pellegrini used to great affect with Riquelme.

- The Yosef Lekach writes that the verse uses the word ish to indicate that the dead enemies were important people.
- Similarly, the Targum explains that all of these 500 were Amalek dignitaries.
- Rav Eliezer of Garmiza adds that Haman's sons led the battles, and were therefore killed first.
- On the other hand, Ma'amar Mordechai writes that his sons were not killed at this point. Rather, they were preserved for later (see Esther 9:7-9).
- Megillas Sesarim writes that ish in in the singular because, despite their greatness, they were easily mowed down as if they were but one man.
- The Rema in Machir Yayin writes that they are united in their deaths because they were united in one purpose.

Esther 7:6, Question 1. Why does Esther call Haman an "ish" ("man")?
ו וַתֹּאמֶר אֶסְתֵּר אִישׁ צַר וְאוֹיֵב הָמָן הָרָע הַזֶּה וְהָמָן נִבְעַת מִלִּפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהַמַּלְכָּה
6. And Esther said, "A man who is an adversary and an enemy, this evil Haman." And Haman was bewildered from before the king and the queen.
- It is especially puzzling that Esther calls Haman an "ish" ("man") since, as R' Dovid Feinstein points out, it usually signifies an important person. In this case, he writes, Haman is called an "ish" because he thought highly of himself.
- The Dubno Maggid writes that the word ish followed by an adjective indicates a central aspect of the subject's character. Esther is therefore answering both of Achashverosh's questions from above; who the person is and why he is doing it. As proof of this idea, the Dubno Maggid quotes the verse in the Torah that first describes Eisav1 (Bireishis 25:27), in which he is called an "ish sadeh" ("man of the field"). In other words, the field is an intrinsic part of Eisav's being. Therefore, Haman's main characteristic is that he is a "tzar v'oivev," an enemy. Amalek hates the Jews for no reason. The Dubno Maggid brings the allegory of a glutton who goes around a party, eating left-overs after party is over. He is not hungry. Similarly, the Torah (Devarim 25:18) testifies that when Amalek attacked the Jews, they went after the "weak ones." Also, in Tehillim (137:7), King David prophecies that the Temple would be destroyed "to its foundation." The Romans were not satisfied with the Temple burning – they wanted the Temple more than destroyed.
1It is interesting to note that Eisav is the ancestor of Amalek, and thus Haman.
Esther 6:6, Question 5. Why does Haman think that Achashverosh was referring to him?
- M'nos HaLevi writes that Haman thinks that Achashverosh is referring to him because Achashverosh would only want to honor someone who already has money, so it had to be Haman.
- The Iturrei Torah gives a more drush explanation. Haman focused on the fact that Achashverosh used the word "ish" ("man"). Since the Talmud (Megillah 12a) notes that Haman is called an ish, he assumed the king was referring to him. It happens to be that the same source calls the actual deserving honoree, Mordechai, an ish, as well.
- Perhaps Haman also considered that the mispar katan of ish (1+1+3=5) happens to be the same as that of Haman (5+4+5=14=1+4=5).
- The Sfas Emes writes that Haman was thinking that even if Achashverosh were referring to someone else, he will still do this for him later, as well.
Esther 2:5, Question 1. Why does the verse call Mordechai an "ish" ("man")?
ה אִישׁ יְהוּדִי הָיָה בְּשׁוּשַׁן הַבִּירָה וּשְׁמוֹ מָרְדֳּכַי בֶּן יָאִיר בֶּן–שִׁמְעִי בֶּן–קִישׁ אִישׁ יְמִינִי
5. A Yehudi man was in Shushan the capitol, and his name was Mordechai son of Yair son of Shimi son of Kish, a Yimini man,
Since it would seem redundant to call Mordechai a man, the Midrash (Esther Rabbah 6:2) learns that the verse calls him an "ish" to relate Mordechai to Moshe Rabbeinu because he, too, was called "ish" in the Torah (Bamidbar 12:3). Both were great leaders of the Jews who save their generation, and represent the Oral Tradition that helps guide us through the Written Law. His being called an "ish" was thus a term of respect.
