"Cohesiveness, elegance, tranquility," – these are three things that LA-based MC, CJ Trillo urges his fans to find in his latest full-length album, Undrafted. The recent and long-awaited release follows his 2013 mixtape, Volume 1: Nostalgia, which had fans patiently waiting, and we can see why. Ever since we caught ear of his Heavy mixtape, it's evident that Trillo is loyal to his style, which is honest, straightforward, no-frills hip-hop. His lyrical approach beams with influence from some obvious Y-generation hip-hop icons (think early J.Cole and Kendrick Lamar mixtapes). His work on Undrafted is no different.
Laced with production from Jim I.E., the album begins with "Intro," a traditional example in Trillo's approach to conscious rap, with a twist. The song eventually shifts tempo into a softer, stream-of-consciousness reflection. Maintaining the same downtempo , traditionally-based hip-hop vibe is "YYC," which includes a nod to A Tribe Called Quest. "Break I," upholds this same momentum. Propped by a jazzy Pete Rock-inspired instrumental from Jim I.E., the track is one that will definitely have heads nodding and listeners lost somewhere between the kick and snare.
With that being said, much of the album is an exercise in a style of hip-hop that Trillo has been loyal to for a long time. However, that doesn't mean the young emcee doesn't explore different tempos, vocal samples and instrumental layers. Trillo switches it up a little on "2012," one of the earliest singles released from the album. The track leads with an 80s synth-inspired sample and glides into some traditional boom-bap. "Daydreaming" a track reminiscent of early K.Dot (most notably "Hol' Up" on Section 80), is propped by a 70s soundtrack-inspired loop, and includes a little taste of Trillo's vocals on the chorus.
With 15 tracks, weighing in at about 3-5 minutes each, Undrafted, of course, is not without it's flaws. The subject matter can risk being a bit more varied, but this is an ill faced by many emcees, from any stage of development. Nonetheless, it's still a piece of work that highlight's Trillo's growth as an artist, and that's something to be admired. Trillo has developed a steady fan base due to his charismatic flow and more importantly, his loyalty to a trademark style. Both can only get better with time, which begs the question (posed in "Intro"): "Do you change your ways or do you change the game?" In CJ's case, I'm pushing that he'll change the game. But you be the judge. The entire album can be streamed on Soundcloud.
5th picks: "2012," "Daydreaming," "Break I"

In this recent article the Huffington Post author George Young asks a question if we really want to be immortal. He tells the readers about Igor Vishev, Russian philosopher, who believes that the first people to become immortal are likely to be already born today. Igor Vishev is the follower of Russian cosmists, such as Nikolai Fedorov, Vladimir Vernadsky and Konstantin Tsiolkovsky.
From Fedorov on, a main cosmist idea has been to overcome death. For Fedorov individual immortality was not sufficient; our ultimate task was to bring back to life all humans who had ever lived. A devout if eccentric Christian, Fedorov viewed the resurrection as a human task, the Christ-like duty of the sons and daughters of humanity to restore life to those from whom it had been taken. Children would use future scientific technology to resurrect their parents, who in turn would resurrect theirs, all the way back to Adam and Eve.
And then after telling the story of Russian cosmists the author of the article simply becomes blind all of a sudden and falls into the trap built by shortsightedness and inability to think rationally. He writes:
The important question now may not be whether remaking ourselves and our universe to eliminate limits to present life is possible, but whether it is desirable. For centuries poets have intuited profound value in the mystery of death. As Shakespeare tells us in Sonnet 73, death gives life meaning, and love grows more strong for that "which thou must leave ere long." Or, as Wallace Stevens wrote in "Sunday Morning," "Death is the mother of beauty." Could many of our best intangibles be lost in the transition from human to "transhuman"?
Shakespeare knew nothing about antibiotics and resuscitation. He had no choice but to accept death, otherwise it would be just too hard to live knowing that death is the worst, most horrible thing that can happen. It is so much easier to attribute death some meaning or even positive qualities. It means that we don't have to fight it or fear it, death is normal, good even and we can get back to our everyday routine. But the reality is 100% different. Death is not the mother of beauty. Death is the mother of worms, eating your rotting body. Death makes your life worth nothing. And it doesn't matter if you leave your work behind – you won't care, because there will be no you. Just like every dying pharaoh would trade all the gold and pyramids he owns for another day of life, every lethally sick person would give everything he owns for the cure, just to live one more day, just to breathe for a bit longer.
The question of what death is and how or whether we should attempt to eliminate it won't be settled here, or anywhere, anytime soon. But if Igor Vishev is right, someone alive today — certainly not the one writing these words, but maybe someone reading them — may be around long enough to know the answer.
I understand why George Young is so against immortality – he doesn't believe he will be able to use life extension technologies. He is a senior citizen at the moment and this makes him pessimistic. His mind wants to protect him from the frightening thought that some people will become immortal, forever young maybe, but not him. So his mind tries to justify death in his own eyes.
But Mr. Young may be wrong in his assumption that he is not going to benefit from life extension technologies. If the existing life extension results are transferred from model animal to humans, he may well have the chance to live for quite some more time. And during this extra time there's a good chance some new technologies would be developed to prolong his life even more. We don't know this for sure, but we have to fight for our lives.
The more optimistic and unbiased articles we have about the possibility of life extension, the greater our chances are to eliminate all the age-related diseases and make people live much healthier and, most importantly, much longer lives.

5 Things That Make Philips Headphones Unique
Stating the obvious fact about any gadget is a story of yesteryear. This not because people have too much time on hand to give a long & winding description but quite the opposite. The gadgets in today's market are so cutting-edge and versatile that summing up their descriptions in a small fact is quite a difficult task and people don't have enough time in this fast-paced life to condense such an explanation to a layman for free. Hence we have the brands to do that for you. The nature and features of every gadget or smart gears are available, in much excess, on various information platforms.
But where is the authenticity in them? Yes, the reputable bloggers and trustworthy encyclopedic portals are authentic. If you are a veteran in gadget usage then you will know what to read.

So, how will anybody survive this stranglehold of ever-blooming gadget list and their inefficiency to keep up with operational know-how? Addressing the help of the makers is the best solution.

text: Oxford Brookes welcomes continued funding support for EU students Tuesday, 11 October 2016 The Government has today (11 October 2016) announced that EU students applying for a place at an English university or further education institution in the 2017 to 2018 academic year will continue to be eligible for student loans and grants - and will be for the duration of their course. The decision, which has been welcomed by Oxford Brookes, will mean that students applying to study from 2017 to 2018 will not only be eligible for the same funding and support as they are now, but that their eligibility will continue throughout their course, even if the UK exits the European Union during that period.We as a University, and the sector as a whole, will seek further assurances that staff and students from EU countries can continue to work and study at British universities and in the promotion of the UK as a welcoming destination for the brightest and best mindsBrendan Casey, Registrar and Chief Operating OfficerThe Government's announcement follows a commitment earlier this summer by Oxford Brookes that EU students joining the University in the 2017/18 academic year will continue to pay EU level fees for the duration of their course, which is in line with fees levels for UK students. Therefore, if you join us as an EU student in 2017/18 you will not move to international level fees, provided this continues to be permitted by UK law.Responding to the Government announcement, Brendan Casey, Registrar and Chief Operating Officer, said: "Oxford Brookes welcomes this decision by the Government. We as a University, and the sector as a whole, will seek further assurances that staff and students from EU countries can continue to work and study at British universities and in the promotion of the UK as a welcoming destination for the brightest and best minds. "We look forward to further announcements which help reassure EU staff and students and that support Oxford Brookes' commitment to being a University which is tolerant, inclusive and has a truly international outlook." Dame Julia Goodfellow, President of Universities UK, commented: "This announcement provides much needed clarity for EU students applying to start courses at English universities in autumn 2017. Over recent weeks the university sector has made very clear to Government the urgent need to address this issue. It is good to see the Government has recognised the value of EU students and acted positively to guarantee their access to financial support."Oxford Brookes has a dedicated webpage with frequently asked questions about the UK's decision to leave the EU which the University will continue to update as further information is known.Further detail on the Government's announcement is available to read online.

The Ethanol Fireplace Or The Electric Fireplace – Which One Is Right For You?
Ethanol and electric fireplaces are both great alternatives to traditional wood and gas options. Neither electric nor ethanol fireplaces require a flue or vent making them a great alternative choice. This means that either option can work well within the home. That being said, at times it can be hard to know which model is right for your needs. That is why I am going to make a comparison of these two fireplace options and give you a helping hand in making a good choice.
To keep things clear and concise I will walk you through the good and the bad of each option.
The Ethanol Fireplace Option
Just in case you are not yet aware of how ethanol fireplaces work, allow me to give you a quick rundown of the basics. Ethanol fireplaces do not need a flue or vent as the fuel used is bioethanol. These fireplaces provide a considerable amount of heat and instantly create a cozy atmosphere in the room.
The Advantages Of Ethanol Fireplaces
– They create a real flame
– No dangerous particles or fumes are given off
– No soot or ash is created as they are ventless
– They do not require electricity
– A considerable amount of heat is produced
The main advantages of the ethanol fireplace are the real flame and the heat provided.
The Disadvantages Of Ethanol Fireplaces
– They consume a little oxygen
– Heat is always produced when burning
The disadvantages are simple to understand; you cannot have real flames without the heat. If you don't need the extra heat you can simply open a window or have a fan installed.
The Electric Fireplace Option
Pretty much everyone knows that an electric fireplace is one that is plugged in. The built-in fan can be turned on to create heat and the electric system creates the effect of a flame. Additionally, they can be very competitive – especially if you regularly utilize a site for energy comparison to get a good deal on your fuel.
The Advantages Of Electric Fireplaces
– They are inexpensive to use
– Installation is easy
– Heat settings are adjustable and can be operated without heat
– No smoke or soot is created as the fireplace is ventless
– No need for fuel or a lighter
– No danger exists from a real flame
The main takeaway for the advantages is the ease of use and safety. As you can see above and with these fireplaces from Wall Fireplace Pros, the risks are low and the fireplace is easy to switch on and off with no real flames present.
The Disadvantages Of Electric Fireplaces
– Electricity is needed
– Cannot create a true real flame effect
The main disadvantage is the lack of a real flame. Many people give up on the electric fire in the end since they feel the 'fake' flame effect is not good enough. It is recommended to check out an electric fire first before buying one to be sure you like the flame effect produced.
In Summary
For me, the ethanol fireplaces have always been my thing – if I didn't like them, I wouldn't sell them. However, that may make me a little bias in helping you make your decision. I hope that I have provided you with enough information to make your own mind up. Allow me to briefly highlight the differences.
If you aren't too bothered whether you have a real flame or not and would like to buy something inexpensive, the electric fireplace may be right for you. They tend to be cheaper than good quality (safe) ethanol fireplaces. In my opinion, they work as a good alternative to a fireplace DVD.
On the other hand, an ethanol fireplace is great if you want to have a real flame and real heat. I feel that electric fireplaces feel very fake, whereas an ethanol fireplace actually lets you enjoy the real deal.

A.D.A.M – Soulful Eclectic Melodic Music On Display
….writing songs became my own personal diary. My emotions and thoughts that I felt no one else could understand were all written down in paper and sound, so it was a method of expression for me
Words by Sesan Adeniji
Without requiring any form of validation from me, arguably, this lad's music can be listed as track-list in some of the most celebrated eclectic R&B Pop albums in the world in the last one year. The feel good factor that comes with each of his songs meet demands of music aficionados that needed a different vibe outside the bandwagon tune the mainstream industry seems to have surrendered to.
With a soulful pitch perfect voice, a good song writing skills and fluid vocal delivery that reminds me of Paul Play's "Forever", Darey's "Not The Girl", Djinee's "I No Dey Shame" and Styl – Plus "Runaway", A.D.A.M churns out good music that will resonate with a huge number of Nigerian audience that love R&B pop music and as well also attract sales numbers in the foreign music market.
Download – A.D.A.M 'Time' Featuring Zade
"My name is Adams Odosa Igbinidu, I'm a singer/songwriter with the stage name A.D.A.M (Another Day, Another Memory), and I'd be a final year Mechanical Engineering student of the University of Benin as soon as ASUU calls of its strike. I was born on the 19th of June in the year 1998. I'm from a strict, respected and responsible Muslim family, the first son of 4 boys. I've stayed almost all of my life in Benin City with my family and I'm Bini by tribe.
Everybody sorta likes music in my home; there was even a time my Dad got me Westlife's "Coast-To-Coast" album, in primary 3 for coming first in class.
But it wasn't till junior high I realized I could sing well, and that I could write lyrics too. The first piece I ever wrote, I had to lie to my parents that we were asked to write poetry by my English teacher in school lol,
They actually liked it and never really stopped me after, but I rarely showed them anything else, I preferred to keep them to myself. This was because writing songs became my own personal diary. My emotions and thoughts that I felt no one else could understand were all written down in paper and sound, so it was a method of expression for me.
Download – A.D.A.M – "Faraway"
After high school I was featured in a song titled "Brain Damage" by a talented rapper and friend, Odyssey. He was the first person I ever told of my proposed stage name, A.D.A.M. When he asked me why, I told him it describes just how I live my life, an attempt to living everyday with a purpose, achieving every goal there is to achieve, and basically leaving a story to tell my grandchildren at old age. We never really liked the song eventually and we have plans to redo that song at the right time.
Download – A.D.A.M – "Liability" ( Lord Cover )
It wasn't till December 2016 that I dropped my debut single titled "Confession" produced by my course mate with the name Odjimogho Ochuko (Dreadric) and his colleagues.
I did two songs in 2017, "Strings" produced by Dreadric. I also did "Liability [Lorde Cover]. But later that year I met Igodan, who introduced me to Lee Made It, and Lee became my personal producer. He mixed my "Liability cover", and all my original songs till date. I dropped three more songs in 2018, "Memory", which was featured in We Talk Sound LOFN playlist, "Faraway", and most recently, "Time", which features Hennessey VS Class finalist, Zade.
Download – A.D.A.M – "Memory"
I first performed my music at the 2017 Uniben All Stars event, as an opening act for DMW's Mayorkun and Johnny Drille of Mavin, (headliners of the night).
I have also featured at other events, most notably at Evol 6.0 in February 2018, where I was lucky enough to be picked by the organisers to be among the only 3 acts that performed on the main show, the other two being headlining artist for the night, Ric Hassani and talented rap artist, Harry Carter. I also performed at CinemArena by the International Organization for Migration, and KU FM White Ball 2018, both in December 2018.
Download – A.D.A.M – "Confession"
In the later part of 2018, a lot of good things happened to me. I started doing a few more videos for social media, with the aid of my producer friend Kuchee, and 2 videographer friends of mine, Yeta and Jesse Jones. A few went viral; one particularly on Twitter got the attention of Davido temporarily. When I was asked in a questionnaire for our year book where I saw myself in 10 years upon graduation from high school, I filled that I was going to be a singer, a mechanical engineer and a soldier in the army.
Download – A.D.A.M – "Strings"
Although I am no longer interested in going to the army, I can say by Allah's grace I've almost met my 10-year goal in 4 years. So 2019 comes with a lot of hope and sense of direction. I intend to drop an EP this coming year, and in conjunction with my good friend and confidant, Dj Rico, I am planning to
host my very first concert this year too, as soon as ASUU calls of strike" – A.D.A.M

Welcome guest, you have 1 message! Register
Doing very well. Had surgery 2 years, 2 months ago, and have lost 127 pounds! I was thrilled at losing 100 pounds but its still coming off. I haven't weighed this since high school. I don't regret having the VSG at all, and I struggled in the beginning... boy did I.
I cant believe it - tomorrow the day! Its really, really happening! So many emotions - my mind is all over the place. Of course, the it hit the fan these past few days. Was really sick with a chest infection and thought I was going to need postpone surgery, but much better today. Mother-in-law had emergency eye surgery -was only hours away from total permanent vision loss in her eye. Broken A/C in the house (in South FL where its already near 90 degrees ). Plus dozens of other odds and ends
Anyone out there have skin removal surgery? I was looking for any information you have or any comments on what you went through having the surgery. I'm not sure if I should or shouldn't do this. I have a couple months to figure it out. Thank you!
I made it 1 year out since my sleeve. Down 113 lbs. over all down 163 lbs. since starting program 1/18. It was not easy but it was so worth it! Good luck to everyone out there.
So...I couldn't make it to 7 days! H2 was not strong enough...shame...
Early Sunday, reflux was so so bad I decided to go back on my PPI...and had to take 80 mg at first, it was soooo bad.
Today, after a long discussion with my friend (pharmacist) and an other (less interesting, he only talks about meds) with my cousin, also pharmacist, I finally decided to try an other approach.
Since my last research does show that the hernia is raising my stress level

Last fall, I spoke with Dan Fahy about how to convert free customers to paying subscribers. At Connected TV World Summit in London, I caught up with him to discuss Viacom's new direct-to-consumer service, MTV Play. He discusses how to go after young people that are disengaging from TV without upsetting existing pay TV partners?

Far from unsettling existing partners, Mr. Fahy describes how the DTC service compliments existing TV distribution solutions.
Chapter 3: What content is in MTV Play (4:10)
Mr. Fahy describes how aligned the MTV Play content set is with the core MTV TV channel shows.
Chapter 4: Monetizing the content (4:40)
Subscription is the primary model used in MTV Play, but advertising is also important in the full entertainment solution.

Mr. Fahy describes some of the more well-known titles available in MTV Play subscribers.

Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? – 1 John 5:5 ESV
When John speaks of overcoming the world, he uses the Greek word, nikaō, which means {to carry off the victory or to come off victorious.' It comes from the root word, nikē, which simply means "victory." Of course, we know it as the name of a certain sporting goods manufacturer. John had a certain affinity for the word, using it five different times in his letter and 17 times in the Book of the Revelation. While exiled on the island of Patmos, John received a vision from Jesus Christ Himself, providing him with divine insight into the end times. John was instructed to write about what he heard and saw. Near the end of his book, he recorded these words from Jesus, "'Behold, I am making all things new.' Also he said, 'Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.' And he said to me, 'It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son'" (Revelation 21:5-7 ESV). Jesus used the same Greek word to refer to those who will come off victorious in the end. But the victory will not be due to anyone's efforts other than those of Jesus. He is the one who will declare, "It is done!" On the cross, He cried out, "It is finished!" He work of sacrifice was completed. He had done what His Father had set out for Him to do. He had given His life as a payment for the sins of mankind. But He rose again, because there was still more for Him to do. At this very moment He sits at the right hand of the Father, mediating on our behalf. He is our personal representative before God the Father. It is His very resurrected life that allows us to come into the Father's presence and enjoy intimate communion with Him. We enjoy the love of the Father because of the love of the Son. In fact, Jesus loves us so much, that He is actively involved in the everyday affairs of our lives. He didn't just save us, He is out to transform us into His likeness. His goal for us is our ever-increasing holiness. In the Book of the Revelation, John recorded these words of Jesus to the church at Laodicea: "Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches" (Revelation 3:19-22 ESV). This was a church that Jesus described as "lukewarm." They were neither hot or cold in their love for Him. They were contentedly complacent. In fact, Jesus went on to describe their attitude in less-than-flattering terms, "For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked" (Revelation 3:17 ESV). They were blind to their own spiritual reality. Rather than see their need, they mistakenly assumed they were spiritually healthy and whole. But Jesus begged them to zealously repent. He described Himself as standing at the door of their fellowship, knocking and pleading to allow Him into their midst. He was offering to have fellowship with them.
It would seem that the key to our victory, our nikē, is an ongoing, uninterrupted fellowship with Jesus. Our relationship with Him did not end at the cross. He is not only our Savior, He is our Lord and King. He is our brother. He is our mediator and intercessor. It is He, along with the indwelling Holy Spirit, who makes it possible for us to live victorious. We can overcome the world, from its daily temptations to give in to "the desires of the flesh, and the desires of the eyes and pride of life" (1 John 2:16 ESV) to its ongoing hatred for us (1 John 3:13). It is our faith in Jesus as Savior and our soon-and-coming King that gives us the victory we seek. It is our faith in Jesus as the Christ and the Son of God. There is no other means by which we can be saved and there is no other way we can experience victory over this world. Human effort will fail. While Nike's slogan, Just Do It, may sound reasonable and motivational, it will not work in the spiritual arena. Our faith must not be in ourselves and our own ability to pull off some degree of spiritual stamina. Our faith must reside in and remain in Jesus Christ. It is NOT our faith that makes the difference, but the object on which our faith rests: Jesus. We read these encouraging words from Jesus, spoken to the church at Laodicea. "I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see" (Revelation 3:18 ESV). He was speaking to believers. He was inviting them to come to Him for all that they needed. He was offering Himself as the source for all their spiritual deficiencies. Jesus stands ready to help us. He wants to make us victorious. But we keep our faith solidly placed on Him and nothing and no one else.

Tonight the Hubs and I went to Newberry's Yards of Ale located on Main Street in Stroudsburg to meet up for Happy Hour with the Pocono's Young Professionals Group. There was a nice show of people from engineers to financial advisors to teachers and nurses and everything in between!! It was nice to meet new people and mingle with others at this Irish pub inspired bar that offers a wide variety of micro brews and craft beers (many on the more hoppy end). Tonight I opted for a crisp glass or 2 of Pinot Grigio. Delish!
After mingling and talking to other fellow fur parents. (Yes, we showed pictures and videos of our fur babies and are planning on a doggy play date… Don't judge!)
okay who am I kidding, judge away- ain't nobody got time for that!
We decided to take a look at the menu and order some dinner.
I went with the grilled chicken salad with bacon, avocado, and gouda. The Hubs went with a BBQ chicken and bacon personalized pizza. Both were scrumptious!
The pizza was so delicious, I couldn't get a picture in before the Hubs ate a slice!!!
After eating we explored the two levels that Newberry's Yards of Ale has to offer. Like a cool basement hangout game room.
We also checked out the classic cigar smoking lounge, which I absolutely loved!!!!
We had a lot of fun. Too bad there wasn't a ping pong table or we would have been there forever!
I love how Yards of Ale has an outside dinning space and an open airy feeling with the wall to ceiling sliding glass doors.
On the way out the sky turned gray and a storm was starting to roll in. Perfect cuddle weather!!! 😉
Good night and until next time
the tasti life
With much pleading from the Hubs I decided to put the computer down, stop online shopping, and go outside to enjoy this beautiful weather!!
We took our rescued fur babies to the park to stretch their legs and enjoy the wide open space!
They certainly were happy pups and enjoyed running, chasing, and swimming!
Here are some action shots: (more on the food scene tomorrow. I will be checking out a new pub in town!)
I hope this weather is here to stay!
the tasti life
Delicious is an understatement. For our wedding, friends of ours made us a case of home brewed beer called White Wedding. They have their own little self made home brewery just outside of Scranton, Pennsylvania. They call themselves Blue Husky Brewing Company. Let me tell you they are talented! White Wedding is a dark beer that was Guinness inspired (for moi) and fermented with vanilla beans and aged with Jack Daniels single barrel bourbon (for the Mr.). Everything that the hubs and I love!!! 🙂
the tasti life
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! It has ALWAYS been a tradition in my family to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with corned beef & cabbage, potatoes, carrots, Irish soda bread, mashed potatoes, green beer, family, and music. It all started with my Irish grandparents, wearing green, sporting Irish sweaters and hats, and listening to traditional Irish music! The BEST part about St. Patrick's Day is EVERYONE is IRISH and can partake in all the festivities! So my hubs and I decided to take on and carry out the tradition of having St. Patrick's Day at our house! Let me tell you, it's a lot of work, but definitely worth it!
I started cooking bright and early… 8:00 am!!! This meal takes ALL day to cook and the prep for it is also a process, but once its in the pot it simmers on low all day for a whopping 7 hours!
Recipe: One Pot meal- Corned Beef, cabbage, potatoes and carrots:
- Corned Beef Brisket (I bought 2)
- Red skin potatoes
- Carrots
- Cabbage
- One large onion
- Guinness (2 bottles)
- Using a big pot on the stove top
- Take out corned beef-place in bottom of the pot
- **make sure you use spice packet that comes with it.
- Add spice packet
- Add 2 bottles of Guinness or any other dark colored stout you might prefer
- Add water until corned beef is submerged.
- Bring to a boil
- Once boiling- cover and bring to a simmer- (about 50min per lb of corned beef)
- While corned beef is simmering- prep veggies.
- Wash and half potatoes (keep skin on)
- Wash and peel carrots and cut in thirds
- Wash cabbage and cut (however you prefer)
- The last 30min add potatoes and carrots.
- The last 15min add in cabbage.
Then ENJOY!!!!
Here are some pictures of the process… the hubs and the pups helped decorate and prep the house for company. We had such a great time spending the day with family and friends. We had some delicious homemade deserts brought over to enjoy like homemade Chocolate Guinness cupcakes… AMAZING! And homemade fudge… SO GOOD!!! My contribution to the desert table was funfetti cupcakes… LOL… FYI… I am NOT a BAKER! I decided to garnish mine with green dyed frosting and a green bunny peep (to make it look more homemade).
I wish I would have taken more pictures of all the yummy food and drinks, but I was too busy enjoying the moment! 🙂
I hope you all had a great weekend and joined in on the St. Paddy's fun…(even if you aren't Irish).

I went to Stavros to grab a quick bite with my team after our last game of the season. We chose Stavros as it was close by to where our game was. The decor inside is a bit dated and has that neighbourhood pub type of feel to it. I didn't have high expectations of place but was told by a teammate that their pizza was good. I decided to order 8″ of the Chef's Special ($12.99) which was topped with chicken, feta, spinach and red onions. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was. The crust was nice and crispy on the bottom. The flavours of the toppings worked really well together. I enjoyed the creaminess of the feta cheese against the sweetness of the red onions. I was surprised at how tender the chicken pieces were. Normally, I'm more of thin crust pizza fan but this pizza at Stavros really worked. This pizza exceeded my expectations and is certainly heads and shoulders above the pizza at places like BP's, which is typically where we'd go for a drink after our games. I'd definitely recommend Stavros over BP's any day for their pizza.

Winner: James Roberts
A great comic can come from anywhere, even a property built to sell toys, which has been through enough reboots to make DC Comics go "well, hold on now." Nothing is better proof of this than Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye, a comic canonized as a minor miracle by Pontifex Prime (what the Popemobile turns into) due largely to its writer, James Roberts.
Roberts humanizes the Transformers like never before, keeping every detail of their massive backstory alien without being alienating, spinning a story where a minor detail from three years back can snowball into a revelation today, and unafraid to be funny, sentimental or heartbreaking, with breathtaking skill at all of these. That this is his first professional work is stunning, and I hope it's far from his last. [Charlotte Finn]

In March, IDW Publishing is revisiting classic moments from it's most popular franchises in a series of thematic one-shots subtitled "Deviations," and for the Transformers it doesn't get any bigger than the original Transformers: The Movie. Transformers: Deviations revisits the classic G1 era to ask "what if Optimus Prime didn't die and was there to stand against Unicron?"
Transformers: Deviations is by writer Brandon Easton and veteran Transformers artist Priscilla Tramantano, and we spoke to them about this unique opportunity -- and oh yeah, we talk about that epic soundtrack as well.
Newsarama: Brandon, what is Transformers: Deviations about?
Brandon Easton: This is a spin on the extremely popular alternate universe concept seen in sci-fi stories and graphic novels for decades. The idea that we get to peek into a different continuity where events took a strange turn and a whole new reality is born is difficult to resist. In Transformers Deviations, we speculate on the one of the biggest moments in Transformers history – the death of Optimus Prime from the classic Transformers: The Movie (1986).
The story explores the events of the original Generation One Transformers timeline if Optimus Prime had not been critically injured by Megatron in their fateful battle in Autobot City. Anyone who knows the movie and the subsequent stories from the third season of the classic TV series knows that Optimus' death was a central point in the saga and if he survives a wholly divergent and complex wall of dominoes tumble erratically. We get a universe that deviates from the original timeline in a very interesting way.
So in a nutshell, it's "What if Optimus Prime survived?"
Nrama: Who are the characters that take center stage in this one?
Easton: Without ruining too much, I will say that Optimus, Hot Rod and Starscream get a lot of "screen time." There's a lot more I could say, but I'd rather have people check out the book when it hits the stores.
Tramontano: Grimlock is a favorite of mine and he plays a big part in the movie so it'll be cool to revisit that. But I'm looking forward to the Starscream coronation gag. It´s such an iconic scene, probably my favorite scene out of the 1986 movie, and I want to see how fans will react to this new spin Brandon gave to it!
Nrama: And is there anyone you wish you could have drawn but didn't?
Tramontano: Well, I love Galvatron but sadly he won't be in this.
Nrama: This is an interesting concept -- the idea of an alternate history. What does this offer for you two as a writer and artist respectively, and do you see potential for doing it more with Transformers?
Tramontano: As a fan, it's very common for us to play within established universe, drawing fan art, writing fanfics and so on. Imagining what could have been if something had happened differently is part of the fun. I like this idea a great deal. Now, as an artist, things get more complicated because you're dealing with something that people love with all their hearts and you have to be able to tell them you're not trying to replace the original material but just add a new version. I sincerely hope people are open-minded about this book and like the result. Reading Brandon's script, I know I did (as an artist and as a fan).
Easton: Alternate history stories are a sub-genre of speculative fiction and they're great ways to explore socio-political concepts without alienating readers. I would point to the works of Harry Turtledove or Bryce Zabel to see some compelling takes on how different the world would be if a critical moment in history went in another direction.
Personally, as a writer of speculative fiction and a former U.S. History teacher, I adore alternate histories because they allow us to engage in a different kind of world-building exercise that forces us to work within grounded constraints while still pushing the boundaries of what is/was possible.

Operation: All Hail Guido
TFNation is delighted to welcome artist extraordinaire Guido Guidi to its inaugural convention!
An exceptionally popular comic artist who has worked with Transformers since the Dreamwave era, Guido has lent his talent to the smash hit All Hail Megatron, the fan-favourite Last Stand of the Wreckers and of course the ongoing books, The Transformers and More Than Meets The Eye.
In addition to his comic work, Guido has also provided artwork for various Transformers DVD covers, box art for toys, trading cards and publications around the world. If you're a fan of Transformers, you have certainly enjoyed his artwork!
Guido has most recently applied his talents to the video game Transformers Devastation, where he provided not only the game's box art, but also served as a concept artist for the game's characters.
Outside of the Transformers franchise, Guido has worked on IDW's Dungeons and Dragons and publications for Marvel, such as the Super Hero Squad books and short stories for Marvel Rampage Magazine.
For a glimpse of his work, take a look at Guido's deviantART page.
Guido will be signing autographs and selling artwork from Friday 19th until Sunday 21st August 2016 at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel at TFNation 2016 – we look forward to seeing you there!
Further transmissions to follow.

After their Akiva Goldsman-led Writers Room experiment led to at least three movie ideas to extend Transformers, Hasbro and Paramount have set Goldsman to supervise a Writers Room for their G.I. Joe movie series. And they will go the same route with Goldsman to draft ideas for the Hasbro property Micronauts, with Goldsman supervising that as well.
This change of duties means Goldsman will supervise but won't write the next Transformers installment. Paramount now is negotiating with Writers Room participants Art Marcum & Matt Holloway (Iron Man) and Black Hawk Down scribe Ken Nolan to write the script together. That course change was cemented by Paramount, Hasbro, Michael Bay, Steven Spielberg and producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Don Murphy.

Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs, and Steel and The World until Yesterday
"Alice Dreger would win a prize for this year's most gripping novel, except for one thing: her stories are true, and this isn't a novel. Instead, it's an exciting account of complicated good guys and bad guys, and the pursuit of justice."
Human Nature
"Galileo's Middle Finger is not, ultimately, about scientists versus activists, but about the necessity of anyone interested in social justice primarily being concerned with truth. For a 'sustainable justice,' Dreger argues, 'is impossible if we don't know what's true about the world.' Liberal science, with its insistence on evidence and explicit rejection of arguments from personal authority, is the best system yet designed for distinguishing truth from falsehood. And for this reason, Dreger reminds us, 'Evidence is an ethical issue.'"

"Disclosure: I bought this product with my own money. I am neither affiliated with this company nor am I being paid to write this post. My opinions are honest and of my own."
Hello, lovelies~ I hope you're all well. Today, I wanted to review a lip product that I have tried out a few months ago when I went to Singapore. If you followed my instagram (@snangoi), I have posted a couple of pics of this baby from L'Oreal. If you look at the timestamp, I bought it in February 2013, but I forgot to review it, lol.
This post should have been published a long time ago, but I kept on forgetting to take a picture of the product, so it's been delayed. However, today, it's finally published, yeay~
Golden glam packaging
The lipgloss and/or lipstain comes in a separate box that has a small window to show the shade. I find this quite helpful because it helps in deciding which ones to buy if there were no testers. On top of the box, it has the shade name along with the number in a black sticker. I bought two colors that I can fairly use everyday which are Bella and Lolita.
The lipgloss/stain itself comes in a golden reflective packaging that looks very chic. It has the plastic window in the upper third part of the packaging. Right next to the small window is the logo that is stylishly designed for this drugstore product.
Skimming through the ingredients, I find the presence of alcohol among the other ingredients. However, I don't find it to be drying out my lips.
Le shades
There are 8 shades in the Shine Caresse collection, but I only bought 2. I still have plenty of lipstick products at home, so I held back from buying other colors. See? I do have self control, hahaha..
Anyways, the colors I bought are Bella and Lolita. Bella is more of a corally red color, while Lolita is dark-ish pink with hints of shimmer, I guess. I should've seen that Bella has hints of coral in it. I don't look good in coral. Yeah.. Excuse my swollen eyes (if it shows), I had a bad day.
Not your typical gloss applicator
The lipgloss/stain has a different type of applicator compared to the usual ones. It isn't a doe-foot applicator, but almost like an oval with one pointy end, very similar to YSL's glossy stains.
I like this applicator because I can apply the product easily around my cupid's bow. The pointy edge gives it that benefit.
Great color payoff
Priced at SGD $18.90 a piece, it has great pigmentation for a lip product. I get an even color all over my lips with one coat of this lipgloss/stain. It doesn't leave a streaky layer on my lips, provided that they aren't chapped.
Cooling sensation
This is probably due to the alcohol content in the lip product. I feel my lips were cool like they were splashed with cold water. Okay, fine, splashed may be overstretching it. Let's just say that it feels great to apply this on a hot day.
Gloss gone, stain stays!
As seen in the previous photos, my lips looks glossy when it was first applied. However, after a meal, the glossy look is gone, but! The stain is still there, so I won't need to reapply my lip color after a meal. However, throughout the day, it does fade a little ,especially lighter colors.
Even though there are 8 shades to choose from, I find that there are mostly reds, oranges and the mixture between the two. There isn't a natural pink or a muted pink or a dusty rose color, which would have suited my complexion better.
There is one color that is quite purple or lavender or lilac or whatever class of purple you want to categorize it in. It would be nice to see more pink or rose colors in this collection.
As for the pigmentation and longevity, hands down, one of the best drugstore product to deliver that to my lips. Despite its alcohol content, it manages to give a moisturizing feel to my lips, whilst cooling it at the same time.
I don't think this will be in my repurchase list since the color options are limited to reds, corals, and oranges. However, if you look great with this, go ahead and rock that look, girl! Until then, I'll see you later~

Hopefully future global warming won't get anywhere near temperatures of 250 million years ago-
But If it did- we'll get over it.
Boffins have discovered that "lethally hot" ocean temperatures kept the Earth devoid of life for millions of years after the mass extinction that occurred 250 million years ago. Cracked earth The global wipeout that ended the Permian era, before dinosaurs, wiped out nearly all of the world's species. Mass extinctions like …

So in the past the earth has been to the two extremes of a Snowball and a Desert.
It begs the question, is MMGW just speeding up the natural process?
I can imagine an alternative reality where the earth is cooling down and there are tax breaks on producing as much CO2 as possible to keep the planet warm.

"I can imagine an alternative reality where the earth is cooling down and there are tax breaks on producing as much CO2 as possible to keep the planet warm"
Yes that is great, imagination. Laudable. But it isn't science. Right now the science says that any cooling that may happen is thousands of years in the future. So in the meantime between now and then we are making the planet inhospitable, edging ourselves closer to "uninhabitable by our current civilisation". Maybe a race of evolved cockroaches will thank you for your continued CO2 emissions.
'What about life around the deep-water thermal vents? Is there any evidence of when that started up?'
The last time I was trawling the literature the evidence from genetic studies of the various species found around hydrothermal vents is that none of them are older than 100 million years and all have links back to well-established species found in more 'normal' conditions.
There are about half a dozen known vent provinces around the world with very little commonality of species between them. Instead it appears that different species evolve to occupy the same niches in different places.
Whether life started there remains an open question.
"There are about half a dozen known vent provinces around the world with very little commonality of species between them. Instead it appears that different species evolve to occupy the same niches in different places."
Interesting. One option would have been that if they *had* evolved when the whole ocean was at 40 C they would be fairly similar as the ocean cooled and they had to retreat back to these hot pockets.
That suggests they evolved at their sites *after* the global hot period.
Thanks for the info.
Indeed, not sure how they can reconcile these two statements;
"EARTH was BAKING LIFELESS DESERT for 5 MILLION years."
"In the dead zone, the tropics would have been very wet but with almost nothing growing, no forest, only shrubs and ferns, no fish or marine reptiles, just shellfish and virtually no land animals. Only the polar region would have offered any refuge from the blistering heat."
A desert means it doesn't rain (thus Antarctica is a desert). I suppose it is possible that the tropics were very wet in the sense there was lots of water but perhaps it never rained. If this is what they meant in the article they need to explain it better.
The day before yesterday it was cold. Yesterday, my friend and I were walking along a busy road, and the sun was shining. It felt nice and warm. "There's loads of cars here" said my friend. "That's what must be causing the heat". From there we walked into a shady, wooded area where there were no cars, and it felt much cooler. My friend was thus able to prove to himself and to me that it was indeed the cars and their exhaust that had been causing all the heat by the roadside. Was he missing something? He certainly didn't think so.
Lrn2Albedo : ) it depends on what the roads are made out of:
Fresh asphalt: 0.04*
Worn asphalt: 0.12*
New concrete: 0.55*
New white portland cement concrete: 0.7-0.8**
Old concrete: 0.25**
Conifer forest (summer): 0.08-0.15*
Deciduous trees: 0.15 to 0.18
If it were as simple as that, we could cool the planet by bulldozing the forests and replacing them with concrete parking lots. Furthermore, clear-cutting forests for crops or grazing would also be expected to cool the planet ***
Please note, I'm not advocating any such ridiculous action... just pointing out that your simplified explanation is oversimplified to the point of being somewhat misleading. Canopy effect, pervious vs. impervious (absorbed heat transferred into the atmosphere as water vapor instead of ΔT), and surface area (a topographic 1m² of concrete/asphalt is essentially 1m² - while a topographic 1m² of tree leaves is actually much more than that when you look at the surface area exposed to the atmosphere) - just to name a few.
There is a quite reasonable explanation why the temperature at 2m on an asphalt parking lot > concrete parking lot > field > forest... but albedo, by itself, is not it.

"In the dead zone, the tropics would have been very wet but with almost nothing growing, no forest, only shrubs and ferns, no fish or marine reptiles, just shellfish and virtually no land animals."
I'm not surprised the land animals were all dead with nothing to eat but shellfish served at 50C.
That is until our "Ancient Geo Engineers" showed up, read all about it in"Pyramid Gravity Force"............Stop drinking the Kool Aid.......and learn about the biggest discovery of the 10 thousand years..........OMG......! Who is in charge on this Planet..........? Stop drinking the Kool Aid and learn how the Earths temperatures are controlled in the Book "Pyramid Gravity Force" available on Amazon, find out how mans penitration in Cheops the great pyramid of Giza, disabled the great pyramid of Giza which controlled the Hawaiian Island vocanic activity. Yes the Giza pyramid was the Earths thermostat until crazy humans broke it, read how the Earth has missed a few crucial mini ice ages and how we have a chance of saving the planet by getting the Giza pyramids back on line. Ancient Geo Engineering is real......And we still have a chance to save planet earth from the massive tectonic plate movements that are coming to blast us all back into the stone age. Regardless of why the temperature rises on planet Earth, The pyramids are here to cool the planet down. We can't afford to do stupid anymore..............!This technology is written in all the ancient text.........Hello is anyone out there..............?
not so much save the planet, but preserve civilization. cos as any fule kno pyramids store time (duh) and slowly leak it out into whatevers inside them, this way razor blades can be placed in pyramids, taken back in time to when they were sharp, which allows men to be clean shaven, which is the mark of civilization (see anywhere-stan for proof)
Yeah yeah yeah, I have yet to meet a scientist that knows what they are talking about. Unless they were there it is next to impossible to know what really happened back then. Articles like this make my blood boil because they are meaningless. I know I have got one for you: "10 million years ago lived a race of ninja turtles that were far more intelligent that us humans are today and did talk BS all the time"
>Yeah yeah yeah, I have yet to meet a scientist that knows what they are talking about.
Guess its bad luck you didn't meet the men that invented the antibiotics that very likely saved you or a loved ones life. Obviously science did invent it or half our children would die before 5 like has happened to humans all throughout history until about 50 years ago. Its ok though you can continue to reap the benefits without even realizing as you criticize evil science in you bible school class in a few days.
You have yet to meet a scientist that knows what they're talking about? And you chose to make your point on the internet... using a compute? Not a smart move.
Makes your blood boil? Did your book tell you what that liquid that runs through your body is, and how it works, or how to measure the temperature of said fluid?
Ninjas 10 million years ago? But your book says that is impossible as it all happened about 6000 years ago, and 'ninjas' have only been traced back as far as 1500 years ago, which means they too must have been made by the big man in the sky.
Finally, you mentioned how intelligent us humans are today, it's we humans. How intelligent we humans are today.
We messed it up before, causing fumingly hot temperatures that wiped out life, destroyed nearly all life, which then restarted, created land-animals, dinosaurs which were wiped out again by a meteor, then we got the chance for our species to strive, and now we are succeeding at it again, we are completing the cycle!!!
How many times have we destroyed the earth before? We must be getting pretty efficient at it by now right? It's the bloody Matrix!!
Ok all fun things aside, Lets get things in bloody perspective: We are COMPLETELY insignificant!!:
-- We can't diverge a meteor by sending Bruce Willis in a space shuttle to confront it (Armageddon 1998) (Ps .the space shuttle we scrapped because it was costing too much money to maintain, money we would rather use starting silly wars over living habits/religion).
-- We can't reignite the sun by nuking it.. (sunshine 2007) Think of it: If you line up a 100 earths its even smaller than the diameter of the sun. So do you really think that a nuke coming from earth is going to have an effect?
-- We can't create a black hole to suck up the earth, by making a grownups kid racing track under the mountains of Europe that collides stuff (Large Hadron Collider 2011) (really believe me on this, I did this when I was young, and it was a lot of fun, and I actually managed to break the window once by ramping the powered up racecar to jump, and it broke the window. But it never created a black hole..)
The only thing we do at the moment, is shit in our own bed. I am happy to discuss, how it is not smart to be shitting in your own bed, but concluding that we will end all life on earth for a million years is silly. We might be able to wipe ourselves out, but even that is pretty difficult, because next to roaches we might be one of the hardest species to exterminate: We are everywhere on this planet, and we can adapt to lots of different temperatures/threads/infections/diseases, so it probably will take something pretty nifty to destroy all of us..
And even if we do survive, is that our goal? To be some ever living organism on some planet? Maybe at some time we just got to make place for the new. Stop fighting it and embrace the inevitable, that's what evolution is about.... ;-)
One thing is pretty certain: The earth will be here, long after we are gone.
Who did it? Who were the selfish Permians driving around in their gas guzzlers spewing CO2 into the atmosphere and killing all the little kittens and polar bears? See, see this is what happens when we allow all those greedy bastards from Permia to chop down the old growth redwoods, and foul the air with their coal burning, smoke belching smokestacks.
It's not too late. Put our troops on their assault bicycles, charge the batteries in our sustainable industry army tanks, and invade Permia (no lead for the bullets though). I'm pretty sure Romney has some offshore accounts there, so make sure you get any papers you find lying around. And don't try to use the term "lying around" as a dog whistle for "lying about Libya," you racist SOB's.
Anyway, gather up all the Permian environment befoulers and get a rope!!
I am appalled at the level of idiocy that passes for 'research" and "researchers" today.
Maybe it is just me, maybe the media edits wordage to "get the point across" or something because I am just dumbstruck at what passes for peer-reviewed research today.
The premise: "....Boffins have discovered that "lethally hot" ocean temperatures kept the Earth devoid of life for millions of years ..." is so without merit that it lacks any note what-so-ever, let alone publication, let alone grants or financing.
It is like saying, without any real proof; "solar flares wiped the earth clean of life 5.5 billion years ago and could do it again..."
Ummm no... Our body temperatures are maintained at that level because it is a balance point between optimum speed of cellular reactions v/s speed of denaturation of proteins at higher temperatures v/s energy expenditure and a couple other minor factors.
From a biochemical point of view, we're actually running so hot we're just short of the disaster curve where denaturation becomes so much of a problem we wouldn't be able to replace the things that break down this way fast enough.
If external temperatures were that much higher, we'd have difficulty losing heat and probably all die of overheating. You see this effect in people with lower constitution when it gets a bit hot in Britain, now imagine it being twice that hot and even the thick skinned and well hydrated are going to be struggling.
But it's been covered below by someone who knows a bit more than me as to why we remain that hot (and how close we are to disaster) a dangerously high fever is only about 6 degrees C above what we comfortably tick along at.
Another interesting point for the climate modellers to incorporate
And the equally interesting factoid
"Ummm no... Our body temperatures are maintained at that level because it is a balance point between optimum speed of cellular reactions v/s speed of denaturation of proteins at higher temperatures v/s energy expenditure and a couple other minor factors."
Which implies an environment where you can *dump* heat to IE << 37 c. Which suggests that *if* the *minimum* global temperature hits 40 c we're *all* stuffed. I don't say it will, I don't think it should, but if it *did* homo sapiens would probably be out of business in a fairly short time.
Well done for more field work and a *much* longer baseline.
"Which implies an environment where you can *dump* heat to IE << 37 c. Which suggests that *if* the *minimum* global temperature hits 40 c we're *all* stuffed."
Actually it is worse than that. The human body creates heat output. We rely on sweating in a dry climate to dump that heat out. In a humid climate sweat doesn't work as evaporation slows.stops. This is why heat seems worse in a humid climate, why 33C in Singapore is awful hot, but 33C in the Australian desert is a nice day out.
Corollary- as the planet heats, and air is better at carrying moisture as well, the tropics may become uninhabitable with only a few degrees C rise. From Wikipedia (with references)
"Humans may also experience lethal hyperthermia when the wet bulb temperature is sustained above 35 °C (95 °F) for six hours"
"In Darwin [tropical Australia] the number of days over 35°C is expected to increase from 11 per year currently experienced to up to 69 by 2030 and up to 308 by 2070 without global action to reduce emissions. Coupled with the extremely high humidity that Darwin experiences during the wet season, higher temperatures are expected to adversely affect levels of human comfort."
So, we are building a planet where it will be impossible to survive in the tropics without air conditioning.
What are the temps oceans now, and what is the range of temperature on land? Our oceans average about 17 degrees C, with a great variation. The range is from -2 degrees C to 26 degrees, with variation depending on depth as well as latitude. Even if some parts of the ocean reached high temps, it does not follow that all, or even large parts of it would, just as oceans today vary considerably from the average ocean temp. It is not reasonable to believe that polar ocean temps would be too high to support life. Equatorial temps would be hitting the boiling point.
But just consider this obvious observation: Let's say oceans and the land at sea level were too high to support life. Land temps depend on a great many factors, not just ocean temps, that create an area's regional climate.What about higher elevations? There would be a great many places where the temps were tropical temps (or colder!), and with the added rainfall, life would abound. How much colder is the top of Mt. Everest than Death Valley? How about Antarctica? You just can't make the jump from South China being hot to the entire world being too hot to support life. The heat could just as easily been limited to a China Sea.
Give these guys an F for not considering the diversity of earth's climes, and making grandiose, sweeping conclusions not supported by their evidence.
My family and I have been waiting for the right time to reveal ourselves. The only thing we haven't been able to figure out is how to hack a Yahoo group which the admins refuse to grant us permission. Other than that, this has been a great vacation and we've been enjoying great weather. You all are awesome.
