Why do you repair on him, and Mr. Damon? I call for to grasp. " "Mr. Damon's eccentric activities for a number of days previous, and his well−known oddity of personality make him an item of suspicion," declared the president in judicial tones.

Whom the gods destroys they first make mad! Huhuonline.com can say that recent actions adopted by the Yar`Adua led Nigerian government portrays the activities of a leadership with a deranged mindset. Constitutionally, a citizen of Nigerian is allowed to form opinions, and associate freely. However, the continuous clamp down on citizens who criticize the depressing status quo in Nigeria, has brazenly taken a dangerous dimension.
Recall that this bald-faced act commenced last year with the arrest of online publishers, particularly, Jonathan Elendu of Elendu reports and Emmanuel Emeke Asiwe of huhuonline.com, who were arrested upon their arrival at the airport without charges, and detained for weeks.
Now, Yar`adua junta is at it again, unable to perfect and carry out their threat to extradite Nasir El-rufai to Nigeria, they decided to hatch a new plot, which will confine Nasir and restrict his movement within the diaspora. However, Nasir is not alone in this, his bossom friend, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu was also placed on the non renewal of passport list.
“Headquarters attention has been drawn to the continuous and unyielding campaign of calumny being orchestrated by former FCT Minister, Mallam, Nasir El-rufai and former EFCC chairman, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu against the federal government abroad”.
“In particular, the former FCT Minister was reported to have approached you for re-issuance of his standard passport having exhausted the visa pages of his current passport booklet”.
“Meanwhile, a decision has been taken at the highest level not to grant any consular assistance to the duo by all our missions abroad as doing so will further facilitate their overseas travels and enhance their tendency to continue to continue to undermine to undermine Nigeria's image abroad”.
“Consequently, you are hereby directed not to re-issue the former FCT Minister with a new passport”.
“Above is for information and compliance of all, please”.

FDF response to editorial in British Journal of Sports Medicine entitled 'It's time to bust the myth of physical inactivity and obesity; you can't outrun a bad diet' published 24 April 2015.
?°The benefits of physical activity aren't food industry hype or conspiracy, as suggested. A healthy lifestyle will include both a balanced diet and exercise, as Change4Life summarises: eat well, move more, live longer.
?°Yes, companies are taking action to highlight the importance of physical activity. However, they recognise that where they can have the biggest impact is in helping people to achieve a balanced diet. That's why companies are voluntarily providing clear on-pack nutrition information, and offering products with extra nutrients and less salt, sugar and fat, in a range of portion sizes, in support of government health policy.
?°This comparison is absurd and offensive to the 400,000 people who work in the industry and the hundreds of thousands who own shares in it. Britain's food and drink manufacturers are proud of their long track record of working to help improve UK diets and promote healthier lifestyles. But they're not complacent, recognising the scale of the obesity challenge in the UK.
?°Supporting successive government health frameworks, the sector has lead the way and clearly demonstrated what voluntary initiatives can achieve. Clear examples of this include offering nutrition information on-pack, eliminating artificial trans fats in products, and delivering a world-leading salt reduction programme. Responsible food and drink businesses have also worked to offer products with extra nutrients and less sugar and fat, in a range of portion sizes.

We identify the existence and quantify the effects of non-competitive behavior. Our experience includes market definition, allegations of unfair competition, price fixing, predatory pricing, and market power.
To assist in class certification, estimated the economic damages under the assumption that the defendant had not engaged in the anti-competitive conduct. Used comparables and applied the Lerner Index to estimate output and market-price effects of the exclusionary conduct. Identified the relevant product market, calculated market shares, estimated marginal cost, and assessed the likely exercise of market power. The results were subjected to multiple econometric sensitivity analyses with regard to assumed or estimated parameters.
In a class certification, estimated the economic damages resulting from alleged price discrimination. Applied the Cournot oligopoly model to estimate output and market-price effects of the price discrimination. Identified the relevant product market, calculated market shares, measured marginal cost, and assessed the likely joint exercise of market power. Results were subjected to multiple econometric sensitivity analyses with regard to assumed or estimated parameters.
Performed a market analysis of the paint can market to determine barriers to entry and existence of sub-markets or significant product differentiation. Analyzed and critiqued marginal cost calculations made by the opposing expert with respect to its breach of contract claim.
Examined a class of large pharmaceutical manufacturers accused of price discrimination and price fixing of a common contraceptive, analyzed the economics of the industry, defined the relevant market, and assessed any harm to competition and to consumers using various econometric methods.
Estimated potential exposure to the aggregation and use of market power by sellers of automotive glass.
Analyzed damages by constructing a logical but-for world that would have included enhanced competition from other third-party providers.
Analyzed but-for scenarios based on economic demand models by estimating linear and non-linear regression models and performed price elasticity calculations to determine past and future lost profits.
Gathered financial information relevant to antitrust allegations for a large pharmaceutical company. This involved creation of a single coordinated data base from a variety of different computer systems and the software of each the entities involved.
Defended a client accused of false advertising by the only major competitor in its marketplace. Created a database of the sales from both companies in order to compare the trends from each prior to and during the damage period. Compared the customer lists of both to determine which customers migrated between the competitors and refuted the plaintiff’s claim that all migrating customers were the result of false advertising. Calculated the damages due to plaintiff after isolating the other factors that contributed to plaintiff’s alleged drop in sales growth.

to use any of the files from this site.
CADD information and resource files for Microstation are available for downloading from this site. As much information as is possible has been made available. Please check the revision dates frequently to ensure you are working with the most current versions.
You are encouraged to contact CADD Development with your CADD questions and suggestions via our list of CADD Contacts.
A "cell" in MicroStation is a group of graphical elements that can be manipulated as a single entity. The use of cells enhances CADD productivity and helps promote CADD standardization. The Department's Cells are stored and maintained in cell libraries, which have been broken down by discipline.
Standard colors are specified to ensure consistency and to enable users to easily identify plan elements in shared files. Elements are assigned a color "number" which MicroStation reads to determine the correct color to display for that color setting. The Department uses one common master color table.
Contrasting text styles (fonts) and sizes are used within a drawing to designate different types of information (i.e. existing versus proposed). The Department's font resource file is made up of a combination of converted TrueType fonts, Bit Stream fonts, symbol fonts and basic MicroStation font cell type fonts.
DOT-1 (Proposed) - Converted TrueType font (fractional) - Used on construction type sheets for "proposed" lettering.
DOT-7 - Fancy Filled Font - Used on the Quantities EDQ sheet and in displays.
DOT-11 - Bit Stream Font (straight) - Used for headings and in displays.
DOT-19 - Bit Stream Font (slanted) - Used for headings and in displays.
DOT-23 (Existing) - Converted TrueType font (fractional) - Used on all construction type sheets for "existing" lettering.
DOT-30 - Filled Font - Used on the "New Jersey Works" sign detail and in displays.
DOT-31 - Filled Font - Used on the "New Jersey Works" sign detail and in displays.
Font 127 - Default fast font - used if "fast font" is set in the design file.
The Department uses IPLOT, a Bentley Systems Inc. product, to produce final plan sets. Individual plotting routines (pen tables) are used to create the final appearance of a MicroStation plot. Pen tables have the ability to change the "look" of individual elements or groups of elements at plot time to achieve the desired plan presentation without affecting the original design file element.
These are approximately 16 pen tables that were written to support the various aspects of in-house design and they may not give an outside user the desired results unless the entire NJDOT CADD system format, set-up and configuration is followed.
For efficiency reasons the Department has added its own user defined lines styles (UDL) to the basic MicroStation line style resource file. These UDLs are graphical representations of features like guide rail, ROW lines, curb, etc. and can be drawn and manipulated as any normal linear element.
When an element is drawn in MicroStation, the definition of the line style is not contained within the design file, only the line style name / number. When the design file is opened, the display is governed by the line style resource file being used at the time.
MicroStation uses a "seed" file concept to create new design files. These seed files are templates in which the standard file parameters (working units, global origin, view attributes, color table, text settings, coordinate readout, etc.) are set to the Department's standards. The Department maintains 2D seed files by discipline and a master 3D seed file for three dimensional applications.
Written to create uniformity for the roadway / structure design and drafting, this manual is neither a textbook nor a substitute for engineering or drafting knowledge, experience, or judgment. These standards are neither static nor all-inclusive and thus will be updated and enhanced as appropriate.
The information in this document is based on using MicroStation ".dgn" format, which is a product of Bentley Systems, Inc. It includes information on our Working Units, Global Origin, Level Structure, File Names, File Content, Line Styles, Line Weights, Fonts, Cells and Color Table as used by the Department.
These include the Roadway Construction Details, Traffic Control, Bridge Construction, ITS and Electrical.
These include Bridge Standard Drawing Plates and Standard Drawings for Overhead & Cantilever Sign Support Structures in both DGN and PDF.
They are for uniformity in plan presentation, and are intended to illustrate presentation format and standards, and are only available as PDF files.

I try to work with the essence of any given material. At the moment I am working with porcelain wheel thrown pots, which I then turn to get a balance between inside and outside and the correct weight.
All pots must rhyme like a poem and then get dressed in the correct coat – the glaze; I try to whisper not shout and never overstate. I am using home mixed glazes which I spray or dip depending on the thickness required. After the glaze firing, the crackle pots are stained with permanent Chinese or Indian inks whilst still warm from the kiln.
I also produce African inspired forms and enjoy the contrast of scale and texture that grogged stoneware offers. The pots are hand built using coils and decorated with dark or metallic glazes.
The purity of form and balance of shape, colour, and weight are my determining factors.
I also draw and paint in various media favoring animals, landscapes and seascapes.

Drive to Lake Manyara National Park for Game Drive with picnic Lunch. Dinner and overnight at Gibbs Farm (or similar).
The compact game –viewing circuit through Manyara offers a virtual microcosm of the Tanzanian safari experience. From the entrance gate, the road winds through an expanse of lush jungle like groundwater forest where hundred-strong baboon troops lounge nonchalantly along the roadside, Blue monkeys scamper nimbly between the ancient Mahogany trees, dainty Bushbuck tread warily through the shadows, and outsized forest hornbills honk in the high canopy.
Contrasting with the intimacy of the forest is the grassy floodplain and its expansive views eastward across the Alkakine Lake. Large buffalo, wildebeest and zebra herds congregate on these grassy plains, as do giraffes some so dark in coloration that they appear to be black from a distance.
Location: The entrance gate lies 1.5 hours (126km/80 miles) west of Arusha along a newly surfaced road, close to the ethnically diverse market town of Mto Wa Mbu.

Technically known as a caldera, Ngorongoro crater is the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world with 19.2 km in diameter, 2000 feet deep, and 102 sq miles in area. The rich pasture and permanent water of the crater floor supports a large resident population of wildlife of up to 25,000 predominantly grazing animals. These include wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, kongoni, gazelle, warthog and eland. The swamps and forest provide additional resources for hippo, elephant, waterbuck, reedbuck, and bushbuck, baboons and Vervet monkeys. The steep inner slopes provide habitat for dik-dik and the rare Mountain reedbuck.

Morning and Afternoon Game Drive in Serengeti National Park. Overnight at Four Seasons Safari Lodge (or similar).
Tanzania’s oldest and most popular national park, also a World Heritage Site and also proclaimed a Worldwide Wonder, the Serengeti is famed for its annual migration, when some two million hooves pound the open plains, as more than 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson’s gazelle join the wildebeest’s trek for fresh grazing. Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffes, and hundreds upon hundreds of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant's gazelle.
The spectacle of predators versus prey dominates Tanzania's greatest park. Golden–mained lion prides feast on the abundance of plain grazers. Solitary leopards haunt the Acacia trees lining the Seronera River, while high densities of cheetahs prowling the southeastern plains.

We all have those times when our closet needs a bit of a cleanse. Saying goodbye to some of your old clothing items is the first step if you believe your style needs reinventation and some fresh styles. To make sure you will do your closet cleansing consciously, we will help you with a guide from the beginning of the cleanse to finding new pieces.
…define your style and feel confident and comfortable in your body. Whether you are making more space for new items or absolutely redesigning your style by sorting out your old clothes and conscioulsy organizing them, the most important part is always finding your unique style and being proud of it! Without feeling motivated for a change, you are more likely to end up feeling lost in the maze of your own clothing items without any guidance.
Cleaning your closet is more than simply getting rid of your old clothes to make space. It’s also about defining your unique, personal style and making certain your wardrobe contains those pieces that make you feel and look your best! After thinking these aspects through, you are now ready to begin the cleanout process.
We all have those few items that weren’t worth the splurge,yet we are still holding onto them in the back of our closet… well, it’s time for these items to go. If something doesn’t feel good about a dress or skirt (you don’t feel confident in it, don’t find it flattering or it doesn’t match your personality), don’t keep it simply because it was a more expensive purchase – Use an APP such as Shpock to turn them into cash and find something that makes you excited and inspired instead.
Your little black dress, well-fiting, everyday jeans and blazer are probably not that interesting, but keep in mind the importance of these basic clothing items. Don’t throw them away instantly during your closet-cleansing. Besides being timelessly elegant, these simple pieces also offer great versatility and can be paired with almost any accessory from big tote bags to patent leather heels and drop earrings. Check out Fun and Stylish Ways to Try the Mix & Match Trend for some inspirations!
Only keep the high-quality clothing items which are in good enough condition to survive a few more seasons and replace anything that you love but is absolutely worn-out. Buliding up an elegant and stylish wardrobe starts at amazing quality clothing items which wil be there for your for long years or even decades and become iconic pieces of your collection. Of course, besides luxury, high-end quality pieces, searching for some high street fashion items is always a fun way to experiment with fashion, but keep your standards high with your go-to dresses, jeans, bags, shoes and jewelry.
Simplicity and versatility are the two key aspects of a timelessly elegant and classy wardrobe. Once you defined your style, make sure to be prepared for your busy everydays as well as for formal events. Besides smart casual shirts and high heels, find comfortable shoes and a great quality sweater as well for long family trips. This way, you will be secured for any occasions and be able to quickly create an appropriate look while showing off your personal style.
Colorful high heels, patterned clutch, pastel statement necklace… stepping out of your comfort zone and taking a playful twist on your style will definitely spice up your appearance and make the regular morning routines much more interesting! After finding all the basic, must-have clothing item, don’t be afraid to splurge on unique designs that caught your eyes, even if they don’t look like something you would purchase right away.
Experimenting and having fun with fashion is just as important as finding your style, so why not give that colorblock blouse or patterned blazer a try? We hope you will fall in love with every brave item you choose, but if it turns out to be a miss, don’t hide it in your closet for months – exchange it and continue shopping!

Shown is a rendering of the new Homewood Suites by Hilton, in Munster.
MUNSTER — The partnership of General Hotels Corp. and Simborg Development Inc. opened the $13 million Homewood Suites hotel on Calumet Avenue Thursday.
The 99-suite extended-stay and overnight inn with indoor pool is located on the same property as the Hampton Inn, which is also owned by the partnership.
“We liked the area,” said Jim Dora, president and chief operating officer of Indianapolis-based General Hotel Corp, which has a portfolio of more than 44 hotels in Indiana, Illinois and several other Midwestern states that provide more than 4,000 rooms.
The Homewood Suites hotel is just one mile south of the Borman Expressway (I-80/94) Munster exit along the town’s fast-developing Calumet Corridor. A Starbucks and Potbelly Sandwich Shop recently opened near the hotel and a new Centennial Village development is planned for just one-half mile south of there.
Developers are billing Centennial Village as a “walkable lifestyle” mall that will also include a hotel. Developers say they plan to invest more than $30 million there.
The Homewood Suites hotel will have a significant economic impact on the area through a combination of the 30 jobs it is providing, the hotel sales tax it will generate, and the supplies it will buy, Dora said. There also is a “trickle down” economic effect from travelers coming into the area and buying fuel and food.
Indianapolis-based General Hotel Corp., is a hospitality management company that operates full service, select service and extended stay hotels. Brands include Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Holiday Inn Express & Suites, Homewood Suites, Hampton Inn, Hampton Inn & Suites, BestWestern, Courtyard and SpringHill Suites.
SEATTLE — Amazon's Alexa is now able to order up a latte.
LAPORTE — Get ready to smell the coffee, a Starbucks could be going up in LaPorte.

Library History: At the Annual Meeting, 1919, the Town voted to establish a free memorial library, and raised the sum of $2,500. The Great Northern Paper Company donated $1,000, and Mrs. Emma Schenck, $200. There were also gifts of books from many others.
The first Committee consisted of: Sidney Stevens, Alice B. Lewis and Crawford A. Treat.
The one-room library, located in the Gonya Block on Central Street, opened November 11, 1919, with Mrs. Shorey, Librarian.
Twenty three thousand (23,000) volumes were listed. In the first three months, 12,000 books were taken out. Miss Kathleen M. Snow was hired and went to work September 1, 1920, followed by Carl W. Hull in 1923; then Lora D. Gagnon, Sara R. Coffin, Agrandece Healey, Mary Kiely, Dorothy E. Arey, acting Librarian, and Stella M. Robbins, present Librarian.
. . . And may it be that the present and future generations of Millinocket’s young people that may be benefited by the advantages of this library shall appreciate the services and the sacrifice of these our honored dead, and that they shall strive to emulate their patriotism and their glorious devotion to the call of duty.
. . . And may the families of these, our heroes, never be forgotten in their bereavement. We also wish here to preserve the memory of all those young men and women of Millinocket who gave their services during the war under the colors of the United States of America and her Allies in this a solemn perpetual memorial.
In 1954, the Town voted to acquire a plot of land opposite the Millinocket Trust Company, on Penobscot Avenue, from the Great Northern Paper Company, for a library site. This was later exchanged for an equivalent plot at the former Great Northern Hotel location.
In 1955, the Town voted to add a member of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars to the Construction Committee.
The members of the above Construction Committee will long be remembered for their interest and untiring efforts in trying to attain a new library for our Town.
During intervening years, additional monies were raised at subsequent Town Meetings. In 1962, the Town voted to build a new library, at the corner of Maine Avenue and Hill Street, and floated a bond issue, which increased the total capital available for construction and furnishings to $160,000.
The Library, designed in the contemporary style, is constructed of traditional New England building materials.
Foundations are of poured concrete with reinforcing steel to provide added strength. Outside walls, entrance and fireplaces are of Maine water-struck brick, backed by cinder blocks with integral membrane waterproofing. Partitions are metal lathe and plaster on steel studs. Interior trim is of oak. Roof is of fireproof masonry plank, with heavy insulation and bonded construction. Heating is forced hot water, zoned, and oil fired.
The Basement is completely usable for library purposes and includes a spacious Children’s department, an Exhibit Room which will accommodate 75 persons, and adequate toilet facilities.
Open-plan arrangement of the main floor with Adult and Junior Reading rooms, Reference Area and sound-proof Music Room is designed for convenience of patrons and staff. Library stacks, of steel shelving with staircase between floors, are open to the public.
An important part of the building is the Memorial Room to the right of the Adult Reading Room. It is paneled in specially selected American Walnut and contains a bronze plaque with the names of Millinocket Men who have died in the service of their country.
Furnishings are in the Swedish modern style, mostly of walnut, and are of excellent quality.
Because of its design—which includes a majority of features recommended by the Construction and Library Committees; Library staff; Architects: Wadsworth & Boston; Builders: Nickerson & O’Day and interested citizens—it is believed the Millinocket Memorial Library, with its modern library program, will become increasingly a part of this Community and will fulfill the original intent of the Towns-people as outlined forty-four years ago.

Ducted gas heating is a great alternative to reverse cycle air conditioning, especially if you believe you are unlikely to require cooling in the summer months.
If you already have a gas supply into your home you needn't worry about connection charges. If you don't it may still be possible to have gas heating installed, contact us and we can look into this for you. At certain times of the year there are promotions from the gas supply and/or appliance companies that may mean connection is free. So it's well worth a phone call to us to find out.
You can download the Lennox Gas Heating brochure below. This brochure gives you full details of 3, 4, 5 and 6 star ducted gas heating systems. The ducted gas heating system comes as a complete unit. Some can be split into two parts for ease of access, and can be installed into various locations within your home. Underfloor, in the roof space or even externally. The most common option is underfloor ducted gas heating with floor grilles supplying the air throughout your home. If the system is located in the roof space then a platform would be installed into the roof for the system to stand on, as well as a light and power point. These items are a requirement of your ducted gas heating system as without them service engineers will refuse to perform maintenance.
There are many types of floor grille that can be chosen for your supply air outlets. These vary from ultra modern industrial looking grilles to traditional distressed bronze grilles, and everything in between. You can view the options on our grilles page. Please note that items marked Price Group A are included in all our quotes whilst those marked Price Groups B and C are options at additional expense. You can also decide to have aluminium grilles powder coated to any colour you like within the Dulux Power Coat Range. A word of caution though – floor grilles do tend to be trodden on and have furniture moved across them and over time this can chip the paintwork. Ceiling grilles tend to be the ubiquitous round or MDO type.
Although as with floor grilles you can have aluminium bar grilles powder coated to your choice of colour. Another word of caution – round ceiling grilles are popular amongst installers because they are easy to cut and, unlike MDO’s or bar grilles, you don’t have to line them up carefully with the contours of each individual room. However… they are not very effective at distributing warm air as they tend to push the air out sideways not downwards. And as we all know hot air rises! Which can leave you with a nice warm head but freezing feet. The central heating system will also have a return air grille. This can be positioned in unobtrusive locations such as the sidewall of the stairwell, the floor of a cupboard with a door relief grille or even below a TV cabinet/unit. In exposed floor areas these tend to be made of natural anodised aluminium.
Various models of the ducted gas heating systems can also have a refrigerated air conditioning module fitted for the best of both worlds. The add on air conditioning system can even be retro fitted at a later date thus enabling a spread of capital investment. The air conditioning module comes in 2 parts - the fancoil is connected to your central heating system and would need to be positioned in the same location whilst the condenser would be positioned outside and connected by refrigerant piping. If this is something that you may consider let us know at the time of quoting as larger duct and grilles would be required to cope with the greater air flow for cool air.

Too many exes this week popping up here and there. I love them but…that is precisely the problem. I still love them, which is why they need to go away so I can learn to love somebody who is not them.
The old cliche states that the truth will set you free. Seeing my exes, hearing about them, may be a little too much truth for me to bear.
For instance, how do I process the new wedding ring gleaming on Ex Number One’s finger when we meet for lunch. How do I take in his unmistakeable afterglow? All I can feel is an extreme sense of tension and heaviness, as if I were carrying a bowling ball in the pit of my stomach.
Then, through the grapevine, comes news of Ex Number Two. I learn the name of the woman he’s living with. She’s someone I know vaguely. For months I have suspected she was the one. Alas, I get no pleasure from being right. I have a mental picture of her that is too fuzzy to deconstruct, so I envision her vaguely: a slim angular brunette cloaked in a kind of misty glow, wrapping her smooth slender limbs around My Ex. I shudder. I am so distracted I unload paper towels and shampoo into the refrigerator. Did he tell me once that she resembled Audrey Hepburn?
There must be some way outta here…But what? There is the masochistic approach: Put Lucinda Williams’s twangy sexual confessions on the CD player, peruse old smoochy photographs of me and my formers, and take a deep pulsating jacuzzi soak in pain. Pour into the bath a gallon of fantasies about my old flames and their nouvelles amours having smiley fun times and striking pretzel poses in the sack, complete with lovey dovey cooing and groaning. If I want to start drinking again, this will surely get me going.
Then there is the stoic I Will Survive strategy. I go about my business, pursue all the things I had planned to do, and ignore what I have seen and heard, however searing. I shove the feelings down, stick out one foot and then the other. While this is an admirable thing to attempt, I usually find after encountering an Ex that I have little or no energy for any of the projects or social engagements that are on my calendar. All I want to do is sink into something soft, listen to power ballads and feel sorry for myself.
Clearly it doesn’t work to drown in the memories but ignoring them appears to be equally ineffectual. So what is the good ole middle path here?
First of all, when the dreaded brush with the defunct beloved takes place, it’s important to acknowledge the feelings that are stirred up. It’s OK to put on Coldplay, Snow Patrol or Journey and sing along with all one’s lonely loser’s heart. Then it’s even more important to return to what one was doing prior to the traumatic sighting.
I Must Remember This: My relationships with these former lovers exist largely in my mind. My exes are like ghosts, even if they can call me or grin infuriatingly at me across a bistro table. They are almost entirely a piece of the past, a part of memory. So maybe I mourn for awhile, perhaps deeply, punch the hell out of the old sofa, eat too many sour gummy worms, turn up Lady Gaga and sob to the thumping beat of Bad Romance. After that, I need to emerge from my self-flogging coma and set myself free, step back into my life–into the beautiful, liberating present.
EPILOGUE, TWO NIGHTS LATER: Could the Answer Be…Polygamy?
It is wonderful how you can send a prayer out into the Universe and, whoosh, back comes an answer. Just two days ago I was wringing my hands about how to meet and greet the men in my life who have moved on. Now tonight I turn on the television and I see a real-life couple, Christian fundamentalists Kody and Meri Brown from Utah, who will never face this problem. Kody doesn’t move on. He just adds another wife. Kody doesn’t stray. He does his philandering inside the enormous compound containing separate apartments for each of his four wives. He stays at home, the family stays together, the women get romanced every four days on rotation and sixteen children grow up in a big fun house with four moms and a very happy Dad.
The women call each other Sister Mom, and appear quite happy with the arrangement. They seem not so much jealous as relieved to be sharing a husband. They love the help with child raising and chores provided by the other wives, the camaraderie, the support. Indeed one of them says she only wanted to be part of a polygamous family. She dispatched any bachelor who was on his own. Some of the women grew up in polygamous households. All seem completely at ease with the system. They have never known anything different. On the rare occasions when jealousy surfaces, they treat it as something unpleasant to be cured and overcome, like a sudden cold or stomach virus.
As I watch this program I am not horrified, as I thought I might be. Not at all. In fact I find myself thinking, ya know, these people are on to something. They could teach the East Coast city slickers a thing or two about love and romance.
There are days when I feel like Nintendo’s Mario. I am forever creeping around the edges of cliffs, dodging monsters, falling, falling, falling off of mountains and ledges and buildings and planets. Swimming, drowning, surfacing, drowning again. It is thrilling. It is terrifying. It is all in my head.
The phrase “all in your head” implies that there is an escape from this reality. Not in my experience. As far as I know, what exists in my mind IS my life. It is the lens through which I view, interpret and understand everything that my senses perceive. It gives me the thoughts, the impulses, that lead to decisions, actions, life choices: The choices I am proud of, the ones that make me shudder and sob.
“All in your head” suggests that I can transport myself from this life ruled by emotion and ego into some other more blissful place of unfiltered, pure experience. In my darkest moments I fear that the minute I was born I left that idyllic place. I will return there when I die. In the meantime, I am like Mario. Or a character in a Beckett play, determined to escape, but remaining motionless and trapped. In my head.
The sense of being locked and lost in a dark world of one’s own making is what compels me to drink. If I cannot change my essential life view, the vision that drives me, and if that view is bleak, then addiction offers me a tempting if temporary escape. I become willing, desperate even, to bargain with the devils at the liquor store.
Recovery offers an alternative to self-imprisonment. It is a hand that leads me, a voice that says to me, the addict, come this way, it’s easier, better.This is the way out of your head.
I am fairly new to recovery so I cannot fully describe it but I think I am beginning to know a few things. The first involves turning my gaze outward, taking in the world, using my senses without judging. Secondly recovery teaches that I must turn my energy toward others and let it be of use. With each small step, a tiny portion of darkness is erased, the fearful chorus of inner voices is silenced just a little. Ever so slowly I move into the clarity, into the light.
There is fierce triumphant beauty to the plants that bloom in late summer, thriving in the scorching heat, wilting humidity and violent storms. What endurance they have, the brilliant geraniums, the bushy fragrant lavender, the gently bowing crape myrtles in shades of pale pink and white, the trumpet vines draping themselves acrobatically across fences, bursting with orange and yellow flowers, the rose of sharon blooming again and again and again. At their feet, the first dried leaves gather, harbingers of autumn, remains of more delicate comrades who flourished and died in the gentle months of April and May.
From time to time, I amuse myself with the idea of launching a greeting card company that would specialize in awkward, unconventional situations in life and, especially, love. This concept usually comes to mind when I am encountering bizarre circumstances in my own life for which I wish I had the perfect pre-fabricated missive.
Well, I’m having a weird week and my mind is once again bubbling over with strange salutations. It all started with the realization that my ex, who is getting married in a few days, scheduled his wedding for two days before Our Anniversary. To ward off feelings of wounded pride and tragic sentimentality, I imagined sending a witty card underscoring the humor and pathos of this Special Occasion.

Homeowners are more commonly deciding on the boiler they want before they even call a heating engineer, which is fine, so long as the right product is specified for the needs of the property. Otherwise it could lead to disappointment if performance and/or gas savings are not as good as expected.
It’s important to remember that Gas Safe registered installers take lots of factors into account when specifying a particular product, such as how many people are living in the property, the number of radiators and space available. There are a whole host of different options available and their knowledge and training can help to ensure homeowners are provided with the best solution for them.
One particular homeowner recently took the advice of their installer and was overjoyed with the decision, despite it not being their original choice of product.
With a large family – five children – the water demand was very high. A standard combi boiler wouldn’t be able to cope with the demand, which might then lead to the next obvious choice of a system boiler with unvented cylinder. However, space was limited, a 200 litre cylinder would have taken it all before the boiler was even fitted.
Taking these factors into account, the installer specified the Alpha FlowSmart 50 system, which fitted neatly into the existing space. While centred around a combination boiler, the addition of the GasSaver and 50 litre thermal store allows the unique system to outperform a system boiler with 200 litre unvented cylinder.
The icing on the cake though was when the gas bill arrived. Following a rather cold winter, especially the snowy spell in December, when the heating had been on a considerable amount, the customer reported savings of £140 over the winter quarter – approximately a 40% reduction from the previous year.

Chris Cosentino (Incanto/Boccalone) is teaming up with Adam Fleischman (Umami Burger) for Fleischman’s forthcoming mega-project in downtown Los Angeles, Umamicatessen.
It’s Cosentino’s first foray outside of the Bay Area, and his concept is a porky one, aptly named Pigg.
But first, let’s set the scene. For those unfamiliar, Umamicatessen is the 170-seat, full service reinterpretation of a classic deli.
“This is my dream version of a deli,” says Fleischman, adding that usually delis have a giant menu of sandwiches, burgers, and so on, but they don’t always do everything well. The full-service Umamicatessen will be open daily from 9 a.m.-2 a.m. and consist of 170 seats, a full liquor license, and five different kitchens preparing different food concepts. Patrons will be able to order off any of the different concepts’ menus.
One of the concepts is Cosentino’s Pigg, cleverly next to Fleischman’s kosher deli concept, entitled The Cure.
In short, Cosentino will be offering pork in every fashion possible there: sandwiches, homemade terrines, pork sashimi (you read that correctly), and a host of rare hams and charcuterie from around the world. And more will be on the menu that is expected to run about 30 items.
So why a SoCal project for a San Francisco chef like Mr. Cosentino?
Umamicatessen (852 Broadway, L.A.) is scheduled for a January opening. In addition to Pigg and The Cure, it will also include an expanded Umami Burger, plus coffee, dessert and bar concepts.

A creation myth (or cosmogonic myth) is a symbolic narrative of how the world began and how people first came to inhabit it. While in popular usage the term myth often refers to false or fanciful stories, formally, it does not imply falsehood. Cultures generally regard their creation myths as true.
In the society in which it is told, a creation myth is usually regarded as conveying profound truths, metaphorically, symbolically and sometimes in a historical or literal sense. They are commonly, although not always, considered cosmogonical myths – that is, they describe the ordering of the cosmos from a state of chaos or amorphousness.
Creation myths often share a number of features. They often are considered sacred accounts and can be found in nearly all known religious traditions. They are all stories with a plot and characters who are either deities, human-like figures, or animals, who often speak and transform easily.
Creation myths address questions deeply meaningful to the society that shares them, revealing their central worldview and the framework for the self-identity of the culture and individual in a universal context.
"Creation myths tell us how things began. All cultures have creation myths; they are our primary myths.
A philosophical and theological elaboration of the primal myth of creation within a religious community.
The term creation refers to the beginning of things, whether by the will and act of a transcendent being, by some ultimate source, or in any other way."

We feel like this is a much needed post. We've changed a little bit over the years since we did this last time, so a new introduction is much needed!
First of all, what is Alligator Pit exactly? Well, it's a giant pit of alligators, obviously. Also, the Alligator Pit team was started back in late 2012 as an initiative to modernize the classic Serious Sam games into a bigger standalone game: Revolution! We started out with some of the most active and skilled modders in the community (initially from the Seriously! gaming forums), and based our foundations on that.
In this post I'd like to highlight those recent (and older) contributors. You might have seen them around the community, so if you see them somewhere, say hi! Or shoot them in the face with a cannonball for the Developer Rage achievement. Up to you, but we think a handshake is more appropriate!
Since I can remember I've always had more fun modding than actually playing games. I first started using Serious Engine tools in 2004.
At the time I didn't knew English at all so I learned everything by myself. Over the years I slowly started to abandon mapping in favor of modeling. And now here I am - making things that many considered impossible on Serious Engine 1. Normal maps? Not a problem. Ragdolls? Got it. First person and cinematic cutscenes? Easy.
Well to be honest most of these effects are visual trickery but hey, people are enjoying it. Oh and also I’m really good at making overcomplicated scripted events using triggers.
My name's ThePaSch, I'm an aspiring composer and Rocket League shoutcaster, and I'm mainly responsible for creating the musical score for our Bright Island campaign (and various other new levels)!
I like my food cooked, my drinks cold, my shooters fast, my winters warm, and my summers cold. Other hobbies include acting like I have lots of other hobbies, and totally having lots of other hobbies.
I sincerely hope you'll enjoy what'll be my first foray into video game music composition!
I've been making levels for Serious Sam TFE and TSE since 2003. I responded to the Alligator Pit Recruitment call in November 2014, and was brought on board at that time.
Sometimes I make maps for Half-life and Deathmatch Classic. Sometimes I make stupid random videos which may or may not appear on the Internet at some point. It all depends on when I make something that I deem worthy to release to the public.
I'm also the only human being in the United States who knows what a Serious Sam is.
I've been programming for a while. Scratch talked about scripting in Serious Sam Revolution, and as it turns out I'm spending my free time working on the game and trying to make it easy for everyone to extend the game with scripting with custom addons, gamemodes, entities and a lot more.
I've always been more into expansions of the games, rathen than sequels. It's just that I like new content for the games I already like. That's why I started modding SSHD and SS3, and then signed into Alligator Pit doing all sorts of stuff.
I was supposted to be a translator, but since the translation system is not yet ready, I'm playtesting, coding, being a community manager, and doing all the other stuff that's not much worth mentioning.
I like to do creative stuff (although most of my ideas don't engender motivation, so I often start something and don't ever finish it). However, recently I've been very motivated to buy a DLSR camera, because I love art, and the easiest way to get into creating something for me, was a camera. So far it's only a body and 2 lenses, but in time I'll do a lot more.
In Alligator Pit I'm supposed to be a mapper. So far I've been fixing and improving existing maps, I didn't finish any actual map (see note about motivation above!), but I like it. It may be time consuming, but fixing stuff relaxes me, figuring out how something works and finding a solution.
tl;dr: I'm boring but living a life and trying to entertain myself. Also a mapper.
I live in France and I'm involved in Alligator Pit since 2013.
I've been making levels for Serious Sam Classics since 2010. I have made personal deathmatch, coop and survival levels for these games. I've also been making some maps and mods for Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter in 2013 with the help of Crippler. My biggest projects for now remains my coop levels, and my involvements in Revolution and Serious Tournament Mod (since 2016).
Astronomy and cosmic sciences is my highest source of inspiration to making maps. I'm mostly a level designer in Alligator Pit, but I'm also a bug fixer concerning level bugs. I also give some suggestions to the team.
I've been doing programming for a long time, which actually started in the Serious Sam community more than 10 years ago. (Time really flies, huh?) Back then I was on a Serious Sam forum for fragmatch players, making mods, in-game scripts (not many people know this, but you could make some real interesting scripts with the in-game console), and just all-around development.
I worked at Croteam from in 2012 - 2013 as an internship for school. In late 2012 I started Alligator Pit with the focus of bringing the classic games to a new audience and modern computers. With that came the idea of making some brand new content to freshen things up a little.
On the team I am the project and team manager, lead programmer, systems-admin, community cat, technology cat, and level/graphics designer.
Have any more questions for any of us? Don't hesitate to make a post on the Steam forum, or even write a comment on this post below.

Sounds like the perfect way to spend the day...riptides and man-o-war aside of course. And getting the last parking spot...the best!
The weather has been great here for about 2 weeks now, but seeing the ocean pictures...I could be there right now, just as easily.
You can send me a postcard any day! The picture of your husband and darling daughter was the best. Although a postcard with you in there, too, would be even better!! You are right, it is rare that we send postcard these days. By the time our kids are older, I wonder if they will be taught how to address an envelope? Cursive writing is no longer considered a necessity. So, when will addressing an envelope fall to the wayside too? Great post! Always enjoy them!

Make this beet root tahini for a delicious dip or spread that is vegan and paleo friendly! Plus- it’s pink and that’s just cool!
One of my favorite parts of the Vibe Israel Wellness Tour that I took back in November was the hands-on cooking class we got to take with Israelis Nutrition Superstar Paula Rosenberg. We made two very special recipes: Baked Falafel and this Beet Root Tahini.
I’ve had both recipes on FFF’s content calendar since I got home and they’ve been getting pushed around by other content (that’s just not nice!). I finally got around to making Paula’s wonderful Beet Root Tahini for a snack last week and nom nom nom.
I pretty much used her exact recipe, except instead of using the juice from 1 entire beet, I actually used 1/4 cup of beet puree. This girl doesn’t have a juicer, so using puree was my only option! I pulled back on the amount of beet in the recipe and you can totally tell if you compare this photo to the ones we took during the actual cooking class.
I totally used the leftovers on some toast for a mid-morning snack. I added some avocado and goat cheese. OH BABY, was it tasty.
Place all ingredients in a small food processor and whirl until combined and smooth. The texture of the tahini should be very similar to hummus. If it needs more liquid, add more beet puree!
I could eat this for days.
Beets- love em or hate or can eat em in small doses?

In business, everybody moves on at some point in time. Whether it’s due to retirement, new opportunity, or someone passing away, leaders can change in a hurry. If there’s no strategy in place to account for when this inevitable change happens — things can get messy.
This is where succession planning comes into play. The leader of a company develops a plan to have a person (or people) replace them once they’re gone. This process usually begins years ahead of time with the leader identifying internal people who possess the potential to carry the torch. Generally speaking, these are people who understand the business or industry on a deep level and will ensure a smooth transition from the previous leader.
It doesn’t matter how big or small your business is, every leader needs a succession plan. Without one, there’s a very real possibility the business will suffer. People won’t adjust to the new leadership style, problems will arise, and they might leave as a result. These transitions need to be as seamless as possible to ensure the success of the business in a long-term capacity.
There’s no “right way” of putting a succession plan together. However, the most important thing to keep in mind from a leadership perspective is that it should always be based on what’s best for the business. This isn’t an emotional decision, so consulting a business advisor, financial advisor, and lawyer are good places to start.
The biggest component of a succession plan is who is going to succeed you as a leader. The decision might be easier if you have a business partner or family member in place who you’ve already been grooming to lead your business one day. If not, you need to take some time to identify a person to replace you. That person will generally come from your business or be someone who understands your industry well enough that they won’t cause an aftershock following your exit.
Another big piece you have to account for is the succession type. The most common one leaders generally have is a designated replacement, someone who’s trained and chosen ahead of time. A target date replacement is very similar in that the business has chosen a person to take over, and the current leader has an exit date set, but the replacement may not be trained yet. A situational replacement only takes over when there’s a sudden departure or the company situation is uncertain.
For larger companies, it’s also important to include something known as a buy and sell agreement. This determines who’s able to buy the departing owner’s shares, the circumstances that allow those shares to be sold, and the price for those shares.
What Happens With No Succession Plan?
If company leadership doesn’t put a succession plan in place, there a number of problems that can arise, such as legal disputes over who should run the business, internal battles overshares, and no continuity from a leadership perspective. To avoid these, it’s crucial to have a succession plan in place.
Another negative of having no succession plan is its impact on employee morale. Career development is an important part of employee satisfaction. It gives everyone something to strive for. If people know they have no chance of getting a senior leadership role, it can result in star employees leaving the company altogether.
With that in mind, there are a few other options for leaders. They can consider selling the business or closing it altogether. There’s also the option of hiring an outside company to run the business or potentially merge with them. These are usually things done when the current leadership already lacks a succession plan or has no desire to put one in place for their own reasons.

Compositions and arrangements in jazz styles have grown out of traditional forms. Early Scott Joplin and Jelly Roll Morton compositions were in multi-sectional march form. Those early forms soon gave way to simpler blues and popular songs as the basis for jazz compositions. 12-measure blues form, 16 measure songs, and 32 measure AABA and ABAC forms prevail as foundations for jazz composers and arrangers. It is important to understand how these forms function as a vessel for communication. They provide the necessary predictable background on which expressive and spontaneous surprises can be built. Without the built in expectations that familiar forms provide, dramatic and interesting musical surprises become more difficult to create.
Most attentive listeners to American music are at least subliminally aware of how these forms work, and understanding of their main characteristics is taken for granted for the purposes of this study. However, it is a good idea to begin exploration of jazz arranging using these forms until deep familiarity becomes second nature. Filling in and replenishing song form “templates” helps to assure the success of basic communicative musical function. As creative musicians become comfortably familiar with traditional forms, logical alterations of them can become part of the composer’s personal expression.
Often, the A sections are not strictly identical. Their endings might differ. One might end in a semi-cadence, another in a full cadence. Even if all the A sections are the same, it can be useful to treat the second or third occurrence of the material with slight variation. Rhythmic changes are the most noticeable way to renew the listener’s interest, but harmonies can also be changed in order to refresh a perspective on repeated melodic material. Repetition is an essential element of form. Without it, there is no expectation and therefore no surprise. Balancing the proportion of predictability with the flavoring of incremental change is a delicate matter that deserves sensitive and detailed consideration.
Students of jazz composition/arranging usually begin learning about harmony one chord at a time. This is an inefficient and misleading way of understanding music. Chords are better understood as momentary vertical alignments that occur in harmonic phrases. There are typical patterns and progressions that connect one part of the larger harmonic phrase to another, and learning to recognize them, how they work, and how they can be adjusted and modified to fit specific situations, is an essential part of learning to write expressive and fluid harmony.
The target chord may be major, minor, or dominant, and there are other possibilities for the first chord as well, including diminished chords, augmented chords, minor chords with added 6ths, and chromatic “planing” chords. A basic principle is that the target chord should contain pitches that are not present in the preceding chord. (This is why a dominant chord with a suspended 4th resolves attractively to a major 7th chord. The 3rd is not present in the dominant chord, so it doesn’t foreshadow the major 7th in the chord of resolution [the same pitch]. The suspended 4th resolves chromatically to the 7th degree of the target chord.
If the dominant chord is a true dominant 7th chord, the strongest resolution will occur when its 3rd resolves to the 6th degree of the target chord.
Another useful concept is that intervallic symmetry produces ambiguity. Equal intervallic subdivisions of the octave produce chords that can resolve in multiple ways. It is the (symmetrical – it inverts to the same interval) tritone between the 3rd and 7th in dominant 7th chords that produces its energizing power and need to resolve. Diminished 7th chords have two of these tritone pairs – providing even more possibilities for effective resolution. Typical diminished 7th chord resolutions maintain a pair of common tones while the other two notes move in the same direction by half step. In the following example, the diminished chord uses the same pair of notes moving either upward or downward by half step to resolve to two different places. Each of those chords of resolution can be heard as a major 6th chord or a minor 7th chord, so there are now 4 possible tonalities to which this diminished chord can resolve. Since there are three other pairs of 3rds in the diminished chord, there are 12 more possible resolution tonalities – 16 in all, and each one is a satisfying resolution. These are only some of the ways diminished chords resolve. The magic of symmetrical intervals in chords!
These rudimentary principles can guide the exploration of ways to move from one harmonic spot to another and can lead to the recognition of recurring patterns. Using the seventh and eighth measures of Satin Doll as an example, we can apply increasingly complex progressions to move logically from the C major 7th (or C6) chord on the downbeat of the seventh measure to the D minor 7th on the downbeat of the ninth measure.
The simplest thing to do is nothing; just use diatonic planing. But the addition of a chromatic passing tone in the bass in the eighth measure makes possible a diminished chord (with an internal tritone) that makes a more compelling resolution. The voice leading remains parallel, since the bass-line moves by step (all voices rise, except the melody, which remains on G, resulting in oblique motion until the ninth measure where the melody note changes to A and it becomes parallel again).
Here is that example and a succession of others; each one showing small variations in the bass line and inner voices. Many of them would be useful in connecting to a D7 target chord, as well as the Dm7.
Think of these chord groupings as if they were missing jigsaw puzzle pieces. Each one has the same left side, a right side that has enough similar characteristics to fit the spot in the puzzle, and a top contour (melody) that exactly fits the specific puzzle spot. The patterns printed on the puzzle piece (the inner voices) vary slightly, and the contours on the bottom (the bass lines) show the most variation. Soon, recognizable patterns that fulfill the requirements of different harmonic and melodic circumstances will begin to emerge.
