Home WELLNESS PLANT-BASED Blast Off To Flavour!
An epic search for vegan sweets in a far off galaxy begins with a streetcar ride to 207 Augusta Avenue. Moments later you land, disembark, and gaze in wonder at the star-burst blue sign shining down on you. Twelve orange letters mark your destination. Cosmic Treats. You have arrived. Prepare for blast off into a world of succulent sweets and fun flavours!
In this quirky and creative universe, the food, staff, and spaceship (restaurant) are all unpretentious. Flavours and fun are all that matter.
Silver tabletops with reflective scalloped patterns line the room. Sleek chairs and booths of cheerful electric orange shine colour in this Milky Way white restaurant. Orbs of light hang in erupting lamps, like asteroids mid-explosion. The stretched walls of this sweets and treats eatery are adorned with windows to the outside world of outerspace: swirling stars, moving meteors, and the dark mysteries of the galaxy – all visible from the comfort of your own table.
They say that space is cold. A frozen ocean of stars and ice. So while you wander through the solar system, what better sweet to sample than a cup or cone of sugared ice (cream, of course). In all the wide world you will be hard-pressed to find a better place to enjoy this universally loved dessert. Each scoop is soft and sweet; creamy velvet slipping down your throat. The quality of this made-in-house ice cream is so convincingly cream-based, that even my non-vegan friends have questioned the components of their dessert. But alas, cashews are the base for these icy treats (so nut allergies beware). Fortunately, there are desserts to be discovered here that do come nut-free. And for all those who are gluten intolerant, you may be intrigued by this tidbit of information; many of Cosmic Treat’s ice cream flavours come completely gluten free, and so do a selection of their baked goods. So set your course for the ice cream menu at this outerspace eatery; believe me, the tastes are unbelievable. Others would also agree… given the fact that Cosmic Treats has been awarded the Toronto Veggie Award for “Best Vegan Ice Cream” in the city in 2016 and 2017. And the flavours are really out of this world! Their artisanal ice creams are rotated on a regular basis, so you never know what you might discover: Death by Chocolate, Cheesecake, Salted Caramel, Cookies ‘N’ Cream, Banana Bread, Creamy Vanilla, Sweet Strawberry… it’s always a mystery, but a tasty one at that. Silky and smooth, and so very satisfying.
But let’s face it, a scoop or two of ice cream this good is never enough for our sugar lusting taste buds. And after all, when you’ve roamed the wide reaches of the galaxy in pursuit of the perfect frosty vegan dessert, you deserve to enjoy it.
So split a split, a banana split, with a friend, family or date – or whomever you’ve taken on your vegan voyage. Their faces will shine with the glory of three suns when they see the bowl of frozen delights placed within their reach. Three scoops of artisanal ice cream resting in the embrace of a freshly cut ripened banana, all sitting under clouds of fluffy whipped cream, warm hot fudge (or salted caramel if you prefer), a topping of your choice, and of course a cherry on top.
Now, if ice cream is your kryptonite, there is no better dessert for you than the almighty Ice Cream Apocalypse. The name is well deserved, for this dazzling dish shall bring about the end of your hunger. Six scoops of homemade ice cream, three toppings of your choice, piles of lightly whipped cream, streams of ooey gooey sauce, and naturally, a maraschino cherry at the summit. But be warned, this dessert is not for the faint of heart – it is BIG – and best enjoyed with the company of two or three helping hands.
If you’ve landed in this galaxy alone but still long for a lip-smacking sundae, then try the Far From Pedestrian Sundae. The two scoops of ice cream are indubitably doable, and joined by their delicious comrades; whipped cream, hot fudge (or salted caramel) and maraschino cherry.
Stopping by for a quick grab and go? Order a scoop or two to take with you. Ice cream not on your mind today? That’s A-Okay. Choose from a selection of their freshly baked sweets collection. A slice of chocolate cake perhaps? Or gluten free cheesecake with blueberry and coconut/almond crust. A Cosmic Cupcake, with swirling caps of icing. Or a cookie of colossal creation: chocolate chip, oatmeal chocolate chip, or best of all, double chocolate marshmallow. But when you dock by the baked countertop, you cannot depart without first tasting the hybrid of happiness; the cookie brownie. The best of both worlds; a sweet chewy chocolate chip cookie on the surface of a rich moist cocoa brownie. When warmed, this dessert is dramatically delicious. If you love cookies, and you love brownies, you might just want to try it!
This vessel of vegan delights is sweet to the core. A star system of shining sugary desserts; too many to try all at one. But since this eatery is sitting near Spadina – and so much closer to swing by than Saturn, sampling their tasty treats throughout the year will be an easy undertaking indeed.
To infinity and Ice Cream!

Do you remember this Christmas news story from last year? The matter became state news when a homeowner association called a north Idaho woman out for her sidewalk display.
In what might have been the strangest Christmas news story of 2017, Rita Anderson, of Post Falls, received a letter from her HOA demanding she move a mannequin she decorated to look like "Cousin Eddie," from the movie "Christmas Vacation," from the sidewalk to her front yard. Anderson refused, and a holiday war was waged.
Do you think the HOA had the right to ask Anderson to move the mannequin?

In the interest of time, today, I am merely sharing my thoughts on the game as it unfolds. So if this doesn’t make any sense, remember the game was at 6am for me. Or if these notes give you the impression of diabolical genius, remember, the game was at 6am my time. Delightful incoherency? That’s right, 6am my time. You’re welcome.
• The wind today in Cagliari is 15-25mph at any given time. The ball won’t even stay in place for corners. And with the Sant’Elia still only approved for 5,000 fans, it is as if they have partial stadium ban for the whole season.
• Wow, so Big Game Bonera did not show up today. And with Amelia behind him, it was really only a matter of time. Even Rami almost scored an own goal in the 12th minute. Aaaaannnd there’s the goal… Sau assisted by Pinilla (and Amelia and Bonera) in the 28th. 1-0 Cagliari.
• I am loving our attack. The understanding between Kaka, Honda, Robinho, and Balotelli is so exciting to watch. So many opportunities, and yet Avramov is having an amazing afternoon. De Sciglio on the right is brilliant, too. So that’s 5 of our starting 11 coming together. Despite having so much work left to do, it’s nice to see such great football again. Milan would take 21 shots, with 8 on target, much improved since the Allegri era.
You can pick your friends, or you can win.
• Why is Bonera still playing? Why is Amelia still on the pitch? Oh yeah, Seedorf. Hopefully, Seedorf will realize that his pride (and Milan’s success) is more important than his loyalty to his friends. Those two might have more impact on the game than any other players in our squad.
• The abuse Balotelli takes is ridiculous. Buy him a tank. And some fireworks. And some darts. Whatever he wants. The man deserves to release some of this anger that these idiots are putting on him. Hope he shuts those racists up in the best way.
• Despite earlier defensive lapses, due to the pressure and attack, Cagliari aren’t getting many opportunities…. Ooh. Pinilla shot just wide in the 73rd. Still, they were held to only 6 shots with the one goal, even though they managed 46% possession.
• Cabrera with the blatant handball in the 85th, and yellow card. Balotelli free kick… Goal!!!! 1-1!! Way to silence the haters! Oh dear… and way to get a yellow card. Balotelli will miss the next match.
• And now Honda with a corner in the 89th…. Pazzini header!! 2-1 Milan!! And both goals scored from set pieces. Wow, amazing how far this team have come this year!
Well there you have it, my quick thoughts as typed during the match. We are improving, and definitely more enjoyable to watch. A fantastic victory, only our second away win, and the first time we have two consecutive wins this season. Well done.
Tune in Tuesday for the next Milan Obsession Podcast!

We wanted to inform you of a reason for celebration! Today is the first birthday party of “Kindrid”!
A year ago today we launched Kindrid with the (grammatically incorrect) tweet you see above. Today, we’re excited to announce our acceptance into the 2013 Praxis Accelerator program. We’ve know from the outset that if anything came from the Kindrid idea it would only be by the grace of God. So we thought our one year birthday party is a good moment to both celebrate and remember how we got to where we are today.
For those of you who have been a part of Kindrid (too many to mention) we want to say thank you. You all had a voice not only in creating what now exists but also in reaching out and walking with all of the projects. Looking into the future we have big plans for connecting those who have opportunities to share money with those who have opportunities to use it. Thank you for your support and stay kind!

It is time for farmers to take the lead in telling their stories and conceptualizing ways to connect their fellow farmers with effective technologies.
Rice is commonly produced in the tidal swamp areas of South Sumatra predominantly as a single annual crop because the dry-season cropping suffers from rat and weed damage and labor shortage. In recent years, best management practices and technologies were introduced through the Assessment Institute of Agricultural Technology (AIAT) to encourage farmers to plant rice more than once a year.

This means, rather than focusing on the immediate costs vs savings, try viewing repairs and improvements from a more collaborative and long-term standpoint.
We look at some of the common maintenance decisions you might need to make, and how looking beyond the numbers might influence your approach for the better.
It’s great to look at your maintenance through the eyes of prevention, rather than more of a band-aid approach. This method can help to keep your repair costs down in the long term and may reduce the number of emergencies you encounter at your property.
Are your appliances ageing? What about external fixtures like gutters or decking? Commonly, items were renovated or installed at a similar time and this can also mean they break down or need attention at around the same time. Allowing for gradual replacement or repair of ageing items over time might be a good way to negate costly emergency call-out and repair fees, and keep your homemakers happy.
Long-term thinking can be a smart way to save money overall on your property. Little things can make a big difference such as installing a few doorstops can reduce the chances of accidental holes in walls, or transition strips between the carpet and tiles can help your carpet to last longer by stopping the edges from fraying.
Plumbing inspections (checking for leaks, inspecting gutters and downpipes, changing washers etc.).
As well as any repairs or replacements you wish to undertake.
Choosing the right homemakers can make all the difference to property maintenance. It’s great to ensure that the goals you have for your property match up with those of your homemakers.
For instance, long-term homemakers could be disappointed, or even leave, if the property is in need of a lot of maintenance. If it isn’t in your schedule to do maintenance in the short-term, either because you wish to save money or you intend to sell the property, then is a long-term homemaker your best fit?
Your choice of homemaker may also inform your repair decision-making. For example, you may resolve to leave replacing the carpets in the home while there are small children living there and instead opt for other improvements, such as installing items like safety gates and new railings to ensure everyone is safe.
Being honest with your homemakers about your plans with the property is really helpful, both before they move in, and throughout their tenancy. This process can be guided by a great consultant.
Despite all our best pre-emptive efforts, things still may break down or wear out in your investment home. When deciding what to do, it’s great to take a moment to consider all the options. You might consider how long you want to keep the property.
If it’s a long-term investment, you may be more inclined to replace, especially if something is ageing.
You may also consider your homemaker’s requests. Sometimes it’s tempting to think only of the initial expense. But if your homemakers are enjoying living in your property and look after it, and intend to stay for a while, it might make good business sense to replace an item or even install one they ask for. After all, sometimes the cost (and risk) of finding new homemakers can overtake the cost of replacement.
Ultimately, most maintenance choices (both big and small) are better made proactively. Looking beyond the numbers, and understanding the people part of the decision-making process is so beneficial to a smooth transaction. Coming to compromises, communicating openly, and thinking both long and short term, are always helpful to undertaking the maintenance process. That way, you have more chance of making the right maintenance decisions for you, your property and your homemakers, both now and in the future.
Are You Looking to Go Beyond the Numbers with your Property Maintenance?
Bluebell Connections can work with you to apply a smart and people-focused approach to your investment maintenance. Get the benefit of our extensive experience in property, personalised service and advanced communication strategy, for all aspects of property management.

Networks' new security as a service offering.
Aperture, like other cloud security gateway or cloud access security broker (CASB) offerings, is designed to secure third-party cloud applications and services such as Google Drive, Salesforce, and Dropbox through granular policy controls, advanced threat protection, and content inspect and user analytics. The security as a service is based on technology from CirroSecure, a SaaS security provider that Palo Alto Networks acquired in May of this year. Aperture will support Palo Alto Networks' next-generation firewall (NGFW) products and is integrated with WildFire, the company's cloud-based malware prevention service.
Samantha Madrid, head of network security product marketing at Palo Alto Networks, said Aperture is an ideal complement to the company's NGFW products because many enterprises currently lack a way to monitor and analyze usage of web applications and SaaS offerings once they've been approved by the NGFW.
"We started out as a firewall company, and we still are a firewall company," Madrid said. "Next-generation firewalls have always had the ability to authorize or sanction applications. But once you approve an application, you have no visibility into how that application is being used or who is using it. Aperture gives IT departments that needed level of visibility and governance for cloud applications."
In addition to usage monitoring and security policy controls, Aperture's software as a service also offers what Palo Alto Networks calls "retroactive analysis" of cloud applications, which allows enterprises to set up enforcement and monitoring dating back to the creation of the SaaS account. Madrid said Aperture's retroactive analysis feature is unique since most cloud security gateway or CASB offerings only provide forward-looking enforcement and analysis for cloud applications.
Currently, Aperture works with a "handful" of major SaaS offerings, Madrid said, but the company is working with other top cloud application vendors to add them to the mix.
Rick Holland, principal analyst for security and risk management at Forrester Research Inc. in Cambridge, Mass., said Aperture will make Palo Alto Networks a competitive force in the cloud security gateway/CASB space, which has grown rapidly this year behind several acquisitions and venture capital investments.
"The need to discover and apply security policy to SaaS applications is significant. I am continually surprised by the lack of awareness and control Forrester clients have into their SaaS applications," Holland said. "The M&A market is responding to this need. We have seen Microsoft acquire Adallom, Bluecoat acquire Perspecsys, and then, of course, Palo Alto Networks acquire CirroSecure. The acquisition was a good one for Palo Alto Networks and provides another reason for prospects to select them."
Is your organization looking at using cloud security gateways to protect SaaS and cloud application accounts?

Review: First and foremost, great customer service! The seller was in communication with me the entire order process and had quick responses! And the shipping and the delivery of the product was fast! The wig was as described. I colored the hair and it held up. I have only been wearing the hair for 2 weeks so I cannot comment on the longevity of the hair. I. regards the to the order transaction, 5 star and more than likely will order from them again!
Review: The texture and feel of this hair is amazing. However, the hair sheds a little and the cap does not fit no matter what I try. It's beautiful on now that I've attached an elastic band from the corners. It's suits me very well and I'm in love with it. I'll definitely order another one. I give this seller a 5 star because their customer service was excellent. You have earned a customer for life!!

We have ranked the best bookmakers for betting on greyhound racing tips below and you can read more about them in our reviews HERE.
Greyhound racing offers a number of different bet types available for betting on the greyhounds.
Greyhound races in Australia and New Zealand feature a capacity field of eight runners with races generally contested over distances between 290m-750m. You will need all eight runners to take part for bookmakers to pay out 3 places, otherwise it will be 2 places for fields of seven or below.
The most common and straightforward bet type is a win bet. You are placing a bet on a greyhound that you think will win a respective event. Win bets can be placed via fixed odds or the Tote, as can place bets and each-way bets. In order to return a dividend, your greyhound must finish first in the respective event.
Another common bet type is a place bet. You are placing a bet on a greyhound that you think will run first, second or third in a respective event. Due to capacity fields being eight runners in greyhound racing, a number of races will not offer a third dividend – this is often seen as NTD, or No Third Dividend.
An each-way bet is a win and place bet combined into one. You are backing a greyhound to win and also place in a respective event. As mentioned earlier, your win bet is successful if your greyhound runs first, while your place bet will be successful if it runs first, second or third in a field of 8 greyhounds, otherwise first and second in a field of between 5 to 7 greyhounds. Each-way betting is unavailable for fields of 2 to 4 greyhounds.
In order to successfully land a Quinella bet, you must predict the first and second greyhounds past the post in any order. A standard Quinella bet will involve you selecting two greyhounds and hoping that they run first and second in the event. It doesn’t matter which order they run. Boxed Quinella bets are also popular and this enables you to select more than two greyhounds. As long as any combination of your Boxed Quinella selections run first and second, you will receive a Quinella dividend. For example, you select #1, #3 and #7 in a greyhound race. The finishing order is #1, #7 and #4. As you successfully predicted #1 and #7 to run first and second, you have landed the Quinella.
Much like a Quinella, you must predict the first and second greyhounds past the post to land an Exacta. This time though, you must correctly predict the finishing order. Using the example of #1 beating #7 above, if your Exacta bet was for 1/7 (that is #1 to beat #7) then you will have successfully landed the Exacta. If you chose 7/1, then you will not have been successful as #7 did not beat #1. A standard Exacta is selecting a single greyhound for first place and another greyhound for second place. Again like a Quinella, you can place a Boxed Exacta. Let’s pretend you select #1, #3 and #7 again. The finishing order was #1, #7 and #4. As the bet was a Boxed Exacta, you have taken #1, #3 and #7 for first and the same numbers again for second. Because #1 beat #7, using your Boxed Exacta, you have successfully predicted the outcome and will receive an Exacta dividend.
To win a Trifecta, you must successfully predict the first, second and third greyhounds past the post in correct order. A standard Trifecta involves you selecting your numbers in order. i.e. 1/7/4 (that is #1 to win, #7 to run second and #4 to run third). For this Trifecta to be successful, the finishing order must be #1, #7 and #4. If it is, then you receive a Trifecta dividend. Otherwise, your bet is unsuccessful. You can place a Boxed Trifecta which can include as many greyhounds as you like. i.e. #1, #4 and #7, or #1, #3, #4 and #7 etc. Using our standard finishing order of #1, #7 and #4, you would be successful with both of these Boxed Trifectas as you had each of these respective greyhounds to run first, second and third.
As long as your runners finish in their respective position, you receive a Trifecta dividend.
You are trying to select the first, second, third and fourth greyhounds past the post in correct order. A Straight First Four is not common due to the challenge of successfully landing one by correctly identifying a single runner for each position. i.e. 1/7/4/8. A Boxed First Four is more common and it is the same as a Boxed Trifecta, except you will select four or more greyhounds. You may select #1, #3, #4, #7 and #8. As long as your numbers fill the first four placings in any order, your Boxed First Four will be successful. Just like the Multiple Trifecta, you can place a Multiple First Four by choosing any number of greyhounds for first, second, third and fourth respectively.
A Quaddie, or Quadrella as it is known, is available on greyhound racing. Four races from a meeting will be designated as the Quaddie and they will be in sequential order. i.e. Races 5, 6, 7 and 8. In order to successfully land a Quaddie, you must select the winner of all four races (or legs as they are known for Quaddie purposes). You can select more than one runner in each leg.
A multibet, multi or all-up, is a bet type where you select two or more separate bets and combine them into a multi. Each of these bets is known as a leg and can range from two legs up to 25. In order to be successful, you must successfully land all legs of a multi. If you place a bet on a three-leg multi and all three are successful then you will receive a significant dividend. If any of the legs fails, then unfortunately, the multi has been unsuccessful. i.e. two out of three legs being successful is a losing multi. For greyhound racing, you can select greyhounds from the same meeting, or different meetings, to be included into your multi and they can be win, place or each-way bets included in the multi.
Australia's leading bookmakers offer you the chance to watch live greyhound racing streams. You can now watch live racing from all Australian tracks live with Sky Racing broadcast at BetEasy including throughbreds, harness and greyhounds.

A businesses’ website should be updated regularly and redesigned and/or redeveloped when there is a good case for more of a wholesale upgrade of the structure, look and feel or technology.
Designing an attractive website is one of the best and most cost-effective ways of advertising your business to a variety of audiences. Making sure that your website is continually evolving alongside your company is key to bringing in more customers and to produce the best possible return on any investment made in digital marketing.
The visual appearance of a website is very important because it is the first thing that a customer is going to view when visiting a site in order to gain an initial impression of a brand.
If the site looks professional and appears to be trustworthy then the customer will be more likely to stay and spend more time on the site. If the visual appearance of the site is messy, out of date or not maintained properly, then the customer is more likely to have a negative initial impression which will make them think twice about navigating through the website. A website needs to be regularly reviewed and updated in order to make sure that it looks good creatively and works well structurally, so that target audiences can quickly find the content they are looking for.
Another sign that your website is in need of a refresh is the loading speed. Slow loading pages have a negative impact because they make the user experience of the site poor as users have to wait around for certain pages to load. This will result in the bounce rate of your site increasing as people do not want to be waiting for content to load when they can easily go to another site and get the results quicker.
Another reason why your site may have a slow load time is due to extra content that is not needed. For example; older sites may have old information that is out of date and is clogging up the server, making the site slower to run. This could be due to redundant pages that were created a long time ago that are not necessarily needed anymore as they receive no traffic.
Old fonts and out-dated graphic images can also mean that your website would benefit from a refresh. Font fashions change in web design and unfortunately, some font styles age faster than others, which can leave your website looking out of date.
If your website is not mobile responsive then this is a big sign that it needs a refresh.
A responsive site is designed to function on a desktop, as well as a phone or tablet because the screen adapts to whatever device it is being used on. For example, on a mobile view, a responsive site will shrink so that you can still see all of the information.
An example of a mobile responsive website.
An example of a non-mobile responsive website.
In the non-responsive example, you would not be able to see all the copy and would have to zoom in and scroll across the page to be able to see all of the content, which is not good for the user experience.
If your website does not help customers get to where they want as quickly as possible, then they are likely to leave your website and move on to a competitors website.
Make sure that the site navigation makes it easy to find certain content and also gives the exact information the audience wants to view. Furthermore, having good navigation can be very helpful for a website because if a website is giving off a good impression and satisfying the customer they are more likely to return.
Finally, incorporating Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) techniques into your website helps to make each page a potential entry point for customers. If having completed a full analysis, you find that the current site is generating very low levels of organic traffic, SEO has the potential to drive traffic and revenue.
It is often easier to redevelop a site with SEO built into the foundations of the strategy from the ground up, rather than amending an existing site in the hope that you will see better results. This decision should only be made following thorough research so that the conclusion you reach is based on solid analysis and facts.

Hello fellow foodies. I’m Yang and welcome to PonPeKo! PonPeKo is abbreviated from “Ponpon ga Peko Peko”. Ponpon is the Japanese word for tummy while peko peko means awfully hungry. So, it simply means hungry tummy. Ain’t that cute?
I enjoy eating, experimenting in my kitchen and exploring places for good food. Desserts are definitely my pick me up food. They are bad for my waistline though :(. I have to admit I’m the typical vain girl who loves her skinny jeans, dresses and skirts :P. HOWEVER, my love for food triumphs over my vanity since 9 years ago when my partner, Mr. D introduced me to the wonderful world of culinary. I couldn’t resist the temptations and thus, I have to resort to the ‘eat first, worry later’ motto. Hehe!
I have nominated you/your lovely/shining blog, for the Sunshine Award!
Thanks for the nomination Fae! That’s so sweet of you.
I will read through the information and thanks again.
Hi there. I have nominated you for the ‘Versatile Blog’ award. You can view your nomination here: http://mishellsoup.wordpress.com/2013/01/22/versatile-blogger-award/. You can pass this award on, or just regard it as an appreciation of your blog.

Temporal data is data that represents a state in time, such as the land-use patterns of Hong Kong in 1990, or total rainfall in Honolulu on July 1, 2009. This data comes from many sources, ranging from manual data entry to data collected using observational sensors or generated from simulation models. Below are some applications of temporal data in GIS.
Visualize the locations of ocean mammals or other populations to understand patterns in their movement.
Understand population increases per city or parcel boundary changes.
Learn how fatalities from a disease are increasing based on changing colors in the layer symbology.
View ocean temperature changes or weather patterns over time.
Time values in your data can represent a point in time, sampled at a regular or irregular interval. These time values are stored in a single attribute field and can be used to visualize temporal data at particular times on the timeline. For example, stream flow data is collected at different points in time at regular intervals. However, lightning or earthquake data is collected at irregular intervals depending on when a particular lightning storm or earthquake occurs.
Time values can also represent durations of time, such as when a particular event occurs over a period of time. Time values in this case are stored in two fields, one representing the start time of the event, and the other representing the end time of the event. For example, polygon features representing a fire perimeter have a start and end time that depend on when the fire started and ended.
Temporal data can be visualized with the time slider. The time slider provides controls to explore temporal data interactively and is available at the top of any map view that contains temporal layers.

Rajinikanth daughter Soundarya is said to be getting hitched to actor-businessman Vishagan Vanangamudi on February 11 in Chennai. The pre-wedding festivities are scheduled for February 9 and 10.
Buzz is that it will be attended by only close friends and family members. Soundarya was earlier married to entrepreneur Ashwin Ramkumar. They divorced in 2016.
After seven years of marriage, Soundarya Rajinikanth divorced from her businessman husband Ashwin in 2017. The couple got married on September 23, 2010 and have a five-year-old son. While there have been reports of marital discord between the two, they have always denied it. It is believed that the fact that Soundarya said that she was always proud to identify herself as ‘Soundarya Rajinikanth’ may have been the reason for the discord.
On the work front, Soundarya began her career in films as a graphic designer. For those starring her father Rajinikanth, she designed the title sequences. Soundary later became a film producer with Goa (2010). In 2014, she made her debut as a director with the film Kochadaiyaan. Soundarya’s last directorial venture was Velaiilla Pattadhari 2 (2017), starring Dhanush and Kajol.

This is an old Facebook note of mine, but I like the idea of beginning my blogging days by dusting off a classic.
I want to address the idea of Church and State. I’ve been reading a fascinating book called “Jesus For President” and we’ve also been addressing this theme in many of my classes. I want to reflect a bit on it, and see what everyone else thinks.
America. The word itself invokes all types of feelings depending on your nationality, race, age, gender or faith. For some there is an inherent sense of patriotism, others a burdening pessimism. Lately I seem to be leaning on the pessimistic side, and not just because of economic turmoil or party politics. Mostly, it’s been a new understanding of our history that invokes a disappointment in me.
We like to say things like, “We are a Christian nation!” and “This country was founded on Christian principles!” Yet we seem to ignore other facts of our founding: oppression, death, enslavement….the list goes on. Truthfully, many found America to be a religious sanctuary from European oppression. But these founders consistently acted against the nature and character of Christ. The ravaging of countless Native Americans stains our hands (and we complain about illegal immigration). The use of slave labor is a beacon of our inhumanity. I read in my Church History textbook that the colonial settlers refused to baptize Black slaves because they would feel guilty having slaves that were brothers in faith. This is a blatant display of self-seeking economics trampling upon the love of Christ. Faith groups that claimed they were coming to the New World to “convert the heathens” instead set aside the contagious Gospel of Christ for the sake of their own financial benefit. What a sad parallel we may draw to modern corrupted Capitalism.
More historically, we see the United States continue to oppress for its own gains. The United States promotes and aids independence movements in Latin America, only if we get something out of it (i.e. Panama Canal). This does not reflect the God who abounds in giving freedom out of love. Skipping ahead dramatically, America’s treatment of the Japanese is more than deplorable, from the internment camps to Hiroshima. In Guantanamo Bay, we have violated international laws that we helped write; say what you want about what we have and haven’t done there…we have clearly and unarguably broken our word and denied human rights that we swore we would not. Countless lives lost, even more denied the freedom that God grants all when he continually hears the cries of the oppressed.
When I hear or read “God Bless America”, I almost want to vomit. The fact that we can say that with a straight face would be laughable if it weren’t so sickening. It’s clear to me that the more God blesses our country, the more we tend to waste it away in pursuit of our own goals, at the expense of the poor and just about every race/nationality we’ve ever encountered. Perhaps we should make shirts that say “God humble America”, or even better, “God humiliate America”. How about “God Bless Darfur”, where people wake up each morning wondering if they are going to be brutally raped or murdered before noon. Or are we just so naive to think that the removal of the Ten Commandments from a courthouse is more outrageous than the fact that people will die today because they don’t have clean water? The fact that in the 21st century people are still dying of starvation should keep us awake at night.
So I wonder what message we are sending when we wear shirts that say “God Bless America” or when we put giant American flags in our churches. Because it just seems to me that our flag is stained with the blood of Indians, Latin and South Americans, Japanese, Muslims and Blacks. What message do we send to these people groups when we wave our blood stained flag in their faces.
And the most ironic part is that when we say that “America was founded on Christian principles”, we’re more right than we think. Because if we look deep into our American system and the oppressive thing we call “Christianity” in America, I think we’ll see an astounding comparison to the oppressive “Christians” that founded our nation. The problem is, neither seem to reflect Christ.
“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” — Gandhi.
So I’ve been fully enjoying your blog this morning.
Kevin Nye, I know I’ve read this before, but you continue to rock my face off.
Do We Still Need Evangelism?

I'm a huge advocate for local multiplayer. I've filled my Steam Library with games like Samurai Gunn, The Yawhg, Monaco, and Nidhogg, and the most frequently played game on my PS4 is Towerfall: Ascension. I have utterly refused to purchase Halo 5 unless it somehow reintroduces a split screen co-op mode. So far, I've been lacking in good couch co-op games for the XBox One. I really like the FIFA and Forza series' but Wesley is not much for sports or racing games. We do have the excellent Rayman Legends but we're running out of teensies to rescue. We needed something to feed that fix and we found it in Lovers In a Dangerous Spacetime.
The quirky little game from Toronto based Asteroid Base is available on Xbox One and PC. You and a partner play as adorable astronauts (known as The Lovers, or The League Of Very Empathetic Rescue Spacenauts) who must recapture the pieces of the Ardor Reactor to restore love to the universe after a malfunction opened a rift to a dimension of anti-love. Explaining it makes the game seem weirdly schmaltzy, but make no mistake, this is a seriously entertaining and difficult game.
Your ship is a large, round thing with multiple rooms, each housing a different station. You have an engine station, shields, a super weapon (called the Yamato Cannon), a map and various turret emplacements. With 8 stations and only two players, you are forced to run between various stations constantly, trying to fight off waves of enemies while searching for cosmic bunnies and frogs to rescue. Because the threats can come from any direction, you find yourself weighing the importance of being at a given station almost every minute. It's a kind of tension I thought was reserved for fast-paced twin stick shooters.
There are 10 cosmic critters to rescue in each level, though you only need 5 to advance to the next stage through a heart shaped wormhole. Also scattered throughout each randomly generated level are little packages that award different kinds of gems. these gems can be attached to different stations to give them different abilities. The yamato cannon may become a giant, spinning saw blade, your shield might start reflecting enemy fire or your engine might drop mines in your wake. Later upgrades allow you to put multiple gems on a single station, leading to some interesting combinations.
Our favorite powerup for the Yamato cannon. Two power gems allow it to fire tons of little seeking missiles.
Even on the Normal difficulty setting, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime can be very difficult. The enemies are numerous and can overwhelm you pretty quickly if you aren't careful about where you go and how you engage them. They also pack quite a punch. If you end up surrounded (and you will), you can lose most of your health before you realize what's happened. Many of the bosses are capable of taking at least 1/3 of your health in a single hit It isn't impossible to get out of those close calls as long as you and your teammate can effectively communicate with each other, and the moment when you turn the tide of a seemingly hopeless fight is one hell of an exhilarating rush.
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime begs you to test your limits. Even when the ship is nearly destroyed, Wesley and I will soldier on sweating bullets the entire time, trying to root out every cosmic bunny and secret present from every level. In those moments we usually adopt a hit and run strategy, grabbing what critters we can and booking it out as fast as possible while the other player mans the shields and keeps a close eye on the Yamato cannon. It's worked well for us many times, but unfortunately the game doesn't let you run from every fight.
This level took us at least 7 attempts to beat. Those big guys can only be hurt after they collide with your shield.
We adore this game. Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime has become our go-to game to play together in the evenings. Though stressful, it is never too much to handle. The gameplay quite gracefully walks a fine line between determination and exasperation. The near constant danger of each sector, coupled with the need for constant communication keeps you on your toes, even when you aren't in combat. This game is marvelous, and the moments that you and your partner execute plans perfectly is god damned transcendent. Choose your partner wisely; this game will test you both.

ANNOUNCING: Ace Frehley featuring Angel and Starz, coming to Chesterfield Amphitheater May 4th! RSVP on Facebook!
"Along with Eddie Van Halen, Kiss' Ace Frehley inspired numerous up-and-coming rockers to pick up the guitar in the 1970s, and by the next century he was listed by just about every contemporary rock guitarist as an important influence. Operating under the glossy, platform boot-bolstered persona Spaceman (sometimes Space Ace), Frehley played with Kiss from the group's inception in 1973 to 1982, when he embarked on a successful solo career. He rejoined the group in 1998 for their international reunion tour, and stayed with them through 2002, eventually returning to his solo work in 2009 with the release of Anomaly. Having beaten his addiction to drugs and alcohol in the interim, Frehley enjoyed a creative surge in the 2010s, issuing a string of well-received albums like Space Invader (2014) and Spaceman (2018), and releasing a popular 2011 autobiography, No Regrets: A Rock 'N' Roll Memoir."
"Formed in Washington, D.C., Angel are perhaps more widely recalled for their outrageous image and stage shows than for their musical prowess. Their self-titled 1975 debut, recorded for the flamboyant Casablanca Records label with a lineup comprising Frank DiMino (vocals), Edwin Lionel "Punky" Meadows (guitar, ex-BUX), Gregg Giuffria (keyboards), Mickie Jones (bass, ex-BUX), and Barry Brandt (drums), was an excellent slab of heavy pomp-rock, with lengthy songs swathed in Giuffria's atmospheric keyboards and featuring the longtime stage favorite, "Tower." Helluva Band continued in a similar vein, although the longest track, "The Fortune," was exceptional, and thus tended to obscure the rest of the material. The band's famous white satin stage clothing made its debut on the album sleeve. On Earth as It Is in Heaven saw a distinct change in musical direction, as the band adopted a pop/rock sound, and introduced a clever logo that read identically when upside down. Brandt and DiMino re-formed Angel in the late '90s to record 'In the Beginning', with the help of guitarist and songwriter Richard Marcello. They staged an Angel reunion of sorts by persuading former colleagues Robinson and Meadows to play on the track "Set Me Free.""
"They had it all -- songs that managed to be both rocking yet melodic (think a merger of Cheap Trick, Aerosmith, and Kiss), a hunk of a frontman, a pyro-heavy stage show the featured lots of shooting sparks, and the same management as Kiss. The group's roots can be traced back to the early-'70s pop band Looking Glass, which scored a number one hit single, "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" in 1972. And it was Looking Glass' rhythm section that would be transplanted to Starz -- bassist Peter Sweval and drummer Jeff Grob (who went under the colorful name Joe. X. Dube upon becoming a member of Starz) -- who were joined by guitarists Richie Ranno and Brendan Harkin, as well as singer Michael Lee Smith (brother of '70s teen heartthrob Rex Smith). Signed to Capitol Records, the label issued the self-titled debut from Starz in 1976, followed by Violation in 1977, Attention Shoppers! in 1978, and Coliseum Rock in 1979. Along the way, the group issued their share of arena-worthy anthems ("Detroit Girls," "Violation"), had some close calls with songs that should have been hit singles ( "Cherry Baby," "Sing It, Shout It"), opened for the era's biggest bands (Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, Rush), and Ranno even guested on Gene Simmons' 1978 solo album. The early 21st century saw all of the group's studio albums remastered and reissued via Rykodisc, which resulted in Starz reuniting for live shows -- something they've sporadically done ever since."

This game live on Kickstarter now! I was lucky enough to snag a demo copy from the folks at Jellybean Games, and I absolutely LOVE it! My wife and I can’t get enough of it. She’s even mentioned strategy over breakfast (which is very unlike her) and when waiting for a meal out to dinner, she exclaimed we should have brought it along (also very unlike her)!
Everything is perfect…except for those HORRIBLE OTHER VILLAGES! Ugh, you hate them so much!
But you’ve got a plan to rise above these petty squabbles. You’re going to become a KINGDOM.
In Village Pillage, you’re racing your neighbors to acquire 3 relics and prove your right to rule. Each turn, everybody simultaneously plays cards against both their neighbors. It’s rock-paper-scissors meets the prisoner’s dilemma…with turnips!
If you think your opponents are planning to farm, raid them! If they’re planning an attack, man the walls! And if they’re putting up defenses: it’s farming time.
Each player begins the game with 4 cards. 1 of each of the main Villagers: The Army, the Wall, the Trader, and the Farmer!
Plus, there are many other Villagers you can hire down the road from the Market!
Next, each player will grab 2 Turnip tokens, a Vault card, and stare longingly at the 3 Relic tokens they will need to collect to win!
The play area for a 2-player game will look like this! Notice that 1 Turnip token is on your Vault card, and 1 is vulnerable out in your Stockpile. This is important because certain cards, like the Army, Steals Turnips… but she can’t make it into the Vault, and only steals from the Stockpile!
For your first turn in a 2-player game, you choose TWO Villagers. One will go up front, closer to your opponent, which will resolve first, and the second, which will resolve on the following turn, goes behind it. This element is different from the 3-6 player versions and definitely makes the strategy quite different!
In this example, player 1 (on the bottom) chose the Farmer as their first card, and player 2 (at the top) chose that dang Army! Double dangit!
Let’s take a closer look at these Villagers!
The suspicious ‘ol Farmer with her valuable chicken will earn you 3 Turnips when facing any type of Villager. Note the 4 icons in a column on the lower left of the card. These represent which Villagers her ability with trigger against.
The angry Army isn’t as versatile, and only works when faced with a Farmer or Trader, because they can only pick on people weaker than themselves (jerks)… but when they do face them, they STEAL 4 Turnips! Ouch!
Because of this, the first card to resolve is the Farmer. So, player 1 joyfully takes 3 Turnip tokens from the Supply and adds them to their Stockpile, next to their Vault.
Then player 2’s dang Army resolves and they Steal 4 Turnips from player 1’s poor, gentle, sweet, totally not an evil witch Farmer! How rude!
So, at the end of turn 1, player 1 is stuck with 1 Turnip and player 2 is sitting pretty at 6! Now we take our Villager that just resolved and place it back into our hand, then slide the facedown Villager we placed earlier, forward.
We then choose a new Villager from our hand (of 3) and place it behind the facedown card we just moved forward. This is where the strategy really kicks in. Whoever we chose turn one to resolve turn two was made not knowing who the opponent was going to use! Some well-laid plans can easily become unraveled! And some windfalls can happen as well. It’s quite exciting!
Oh man, it seems they both chose the Trader! Player 1 hadn’t been expecting that Army to Steal their Turnips!
But luckily, both of the Traders will resolve! Below you can see a close up of player 1’s situation on the left and player 2’s situation on the right.
Player 1 has 1 Turnip, while player 2 has 6 Turnips.
Notice that the Trader doesn’t have any icons on the bottom left of her card, which means her abilities always resolve… if they can be paid for, that is. Also, since both players played the same Villager type, in what order do they resolve? Well, for the purposes of the Trader, it’s the player with the least number of Turnips. A wise game design decision as it affords those who are behind a slight advantage in some cases.
But what does the Trader do? Well, the Trader’s abilities read left to right: Buy Relic / If Unable: Buy Card for 1 Turnip. As player 1 has less Turnips, they go first.
As you can see on the right side (in purple) of the Vault card, the cost of the first Relic is 6. Player 1 doesn’t have 6 Turnips, so, they cannot buy a Relic. Which means, they now buy 1 card from the Market for 1 Turnip.
Player 1 is still salty after being bullied by the Army round 1, so they decide to pick up an Outlaw, to hit player 2 where it hurts… the Turnip Stockpile!
The Market is immediately refilled from the top of the deck and the Outlaw is placed directly into player 1’s hand of cards. Player 1 takes their 1 Turnip and pays it to the Supply.
Then it’s player 2’s turn to resolve their Trader. As we saw earlier, step 1 is to Buy Relic. The Relic for player 2 will cost 6 Turnips, and they have 6 Turnips, so they must buy the Relic. If you can afford it, you cannot opt to buy a card from the Market instead!
A typical 2-player game takes about 10-15 minutes. If you get really thinky-thinky it could take 30 minutes, but that’d be a lot of thinky. This game is about action and excitement! And, if you lose, just shuffle up and play again! Fast, fun and addicting!

The Brigittines and the ULB's Master in Performing Arts work together on a partnership made up of workshops analysing the many signs of the performing arts and that aims at enriching the training of future players in the cultural and artistic worlds. Steered around the shows played at the Brigittines, these workshops, conducted by dramatist Yannick Mancel, open entire sections of sensitivity that allow better perceiving the challenges of performances and situating their relation to the world. These workshops offer students the possibility to dare place words on their feelings before a performance and to recognise the kinships and heritages as well as the value and sense of innovation.
In the aim of extending the reflection on contemporary dance, the three structures offer public conferences on the themes broached during the season's shows. Encounters between students, teachers and stage professionals, broadened reflections on contemporary creations, this collaboration offers to borrow tools to anthropology, sociology and philosophy to stimulate the analytical vision of the spectator. The interventions of specialists invited within the framework of these public conferences were designed as invitations to explore the dramaturgy and challenges of these creations in the context of today's society.
This season, Les Brigittines will host Ludivine Bantigny, Christophe Bourseiller, Olivier Neveux and Razmig Keucheyan.
A meeting between artists and spectators will be offered at the end of each cycle of performances. During these discussions, the facilitator shares additional keys to understand the show that took place just before. The audience is then invited to share their sensations and questions with the artists.
The Brigittines are intent to implement a pricing policy allowing everyone to watch a performance by offering reduced cost seats with our partner ARSENE 50.
Article 27 does not just stand for a special price, it is first and foremost an organisation that fights on behalf of the most vulnerable for access to culture. In association with non-profit organisation CARIA, a project has been launched with a group of adults in French as a Foreign Language level 1 training. Its purpose is to visit different cultural places with the request that this group take part in cultural life in general. That is how Les Brigittines were asked to open their doors to this initiative. The extensive collaboration calendar which is still under construction includes, inter alia, meeting artists, exchanges with the team, finding out about the programme, attending rehearsals and various other activities.
The Brigittines are also part of a network that benefits the local residents and people working in Les Marolles. Les Tanneurs, Recyclart, the Centre Culturel Bruegel, the Espace Magh, Les Brigittines, the art and margins museum and the Jewish Museum of Belgium have all joined forces to offer them a card free of charge. This card entitles the group to access one of the seven partner locations at a preferential rate.

They say money can't buy you happiness and Lucile Kroger-Berne, grandmother of author Suzanne Berne might have agreed!
In 1932, Lucile, the daughter of Bernard Kroger (whose enterprise is worth $76 billion today) died, leaving her six-year-old son motherless and extremely melancholy.
Nearly 80-years later author Suzanne Berne went on a quest to understand the life of her deceased grandmother in an effort to heal the pain of her ailing father. The result brought her new book: Missing Lucile: Memories of a Grandmother I Never Knew.

General Motors is recalling 87,063 Chevrolet Malibu sedans in the U.S. for sunroof control issues.
The automaker is calling back 2013-15 models because the power-operated roof panel can close inadvertently, GM said in an emailed statement.
GM said it does not know of any crashes, injuries or deaths caused by the problem and has received no customer complaints.
Dealers will remove the “One Touch Open/Close” feature and reprogram the body control module, the statement said.
Overly sensitive sunroof controls also caused the recall of about 67,000 Cadillac ATS sports sedans last month.

In the evening, when she went home with her goat, she found a small earthenware dish, with some food, which her sisters had set ready for her, but she did not touch it. Next day she again went out with her goat, and left the few bits of broken bread which had been handed to her, lying untouched. The first and second time that she did this, her sisters did not remark it at all, but as it happened every time, they did observe it, and said, "There is something wrong about Two-eyes, she always leaves her food untasted, and she used to eat up everything that was given her; she must have discovered other ways of getting food." In order that they might learn the truth, they resolved to send One-eye with Two-eyes when she went to drive her goat to the pasture, to observe what Two-eyes did when she was there, and whether any one brought her anything to eat and drink. So when Two-eyes set out the next time, One-eye went to her and said, "I will go with you to the pasture, and see that the goat is well taken care of, and driven where there is food." But Two-eyes knew what was in One-eye's mind, and drove the goat into high grass and said, "Come, One-eye, we will sit down and I will sing something to you." One-eye sat down and was tired with the unaccustomed walk and the heat of the sun, and Two-eyes sang constantly, "One eye, wakest thou?
Next day the mother said to Three-eyes, "This time thou shalt go and observe if Two-eyes eats anything when she is out, and if any one fetches her food and drink, for she must eat and drink in secret." So Three-eyes went to Two-eyes, and said, "I will go with you and see if the goat is taken proper care of, and driven where there is food." But Two-eyes knew what was in Three-eyes' mind, and drove the goat into high-grass and said, "We will sit down, and I will sing something to you, Three-eyes." Three-eyes sat down and was tired with the walk and with the heat of the sun, and Two-eyes began the same song as before, and sang, " Three eyes, are you waking?"
but then, instead of singing, " Three eyes, are you sleeping?"
as she ought to have done, she thoughtlessly sang, "Two eyes, are you sleeping?"
and sang all the time, " Three eyes, are you waking?
