Seattle's celebration of Washington-brewed, Belgian-inspired beers is here! Time for Belgian Fest! This annual beer events, one of Seattle's most popular, happens this Saturday at Seattle Center. You can see our previous post for more details, or check out the official website for more info and tickets.
We are hearing that tickets are all but extinct for the afternoon session, but there are still some available for the evening session. BTW – this year a DJ will be spinning tunes during the evening session.
Here is my cheat sheet for this year's Belgian Fest. Call it a Top Ten list if you like, but truthfully it's just a list of beers that either catch my eye or that have already captured my fancy.
You can peruse the entire list of all of the Belgian Fest beers here.
Bale Breaker Brewing – Nouvelle Abbeye Tripel IPA (ABV 8.5% / IBU 39) -Nouvelle Abbaye (French for New Abbey) is an interpretation of a classic Belgian Trappist ale. However, we dry hopped this beer with a generous amount of Citra—hence the term Tripel IPA.
It's been said that the French language has 130 words for "wine," but not even one word for "hops." Okay, I made that up. When Bale Breaker says "generous amount of Citra…" they are speaking my language.
Black Raven Brewing – sQuad of Ravens (ABV 10.6%) – This Belgian Quadrupel greets your nose with caramel and toast while brulee torched sugar and back molasses meet figs and dates. Malt and dark stone fruit sweetness pervade the aftertaste.
Elliott Bay Brewing – DE RODE DUIVELS (The Red Devils) (ABV 4.5%) – Sour Red Ale made up of a blend of beers aged in wine and bourbon barrels for 8 and 11 months. Hints of red wine with some vanilla sweetness from the bourbon barrels for balance.
Of all the sour beer styles, sour red ales are my favorite. Add to that Elliott Bay's growing reputation for its outstanding barrel-aged beers. Sign me up.
Belgian Fest experiment #2. We took the wort from our GABF gold medal winning Midwatch Belgian-style dark strong, fermented it with a saison yeast, then aged it in a whiskey barrel with a crap ton of cherries. Only 5 gallons of this beer so stop by early.
People always ask me, "What's your favorite brewery?" I don't like that question. I stutter and stammer too answer because there are so many. A better question might be, "What's the best brewery I've never heard of?" I can actually answer that question with a list, and this brewery is on it.
Fremont Brewing – Waves Of Light (ABV 5.8% / IBU 45) – Foeder fermented and aged saison, lightly dry hopped with Loral and Wakatu hops. Notes of clove, bubble gum and straw.
I am not a fan of bubble gum, but when that term is used to describe hops, whatever that flavor is, I am definitely a fan of that. Knowing Fremont Brewing, and reading that description, I have trouble imagining this beer being anything but great.
Ghostfish Brewing – 4th Anniversary Belgian Quadrupel (ABV 9.0% / IBU 26) – Inspired by the Trappist brewers of Belgium, our version is full bodied with a rich and malty palate and aged on PNW sweet cherries. This beer commemorates the four magnificent years of Ghostfish existence!
How do you make a big beer like this without using gluten-rich barley and other "traditional" grains? Ghostfish, arguably the nation's best GF brewery, has some kind of gluten-free magic happening.
Propolis Brewing – Chaga (ABV 8.0%) – Farmhouse Stout brewed with oats, black walnut hull and chaga mushroom. Cognac vat washed.
Uh, what? I mean really, who does that? I love Propolis because I'm pretty sure they have no idea how cool they are.
GABF gold-medal beer named after a Jimi Hendrix song. Good enough for me.
Sound Brewery – Monk's Indiscretion (ABV 10%) – Dry hopped, and fermented with an aromatic Belgian yeast strain, Monk's Indiscretion has an intense tropical hoppy aroma and flavor, with balanced bitterness, and is scarily drinkable for such a strong beer. 2 times NABA Award winner and 2011 US Beer Open Gold Medal Winner.
One of my personal favorites for years. I was so proud when it won those medals, proving that I actually do know something about beer. I bet the brewery was proud too.
Wander Brewing – Wild Warehouse Barrel-Aged Farmhouse Ale (ABV 6.8%) – Farmhouse ale aged 12 months in Chardonnay barrels.
I love how the brewery's description of this outstanding beer is so unassuming and so modest. When it comes to wine, I am not usually a fan of Chardonnay. Nice to know that Chardonnay actually does have a purpose; the barrels are great for making beer. Another GABF gold-medal beer.

Passion Prevails In Maxwell's Steamy 'Lake By The Ocean' Video
in Featured, R&B Music Videos, R&B Videos
On the same day he revealed the album cover art for blackSUMMERS'night, Maxwell drops the sensual video for "Lake By The Ocean."
Directed by Philip Andelman, the clip takes viewers on a journey in the daily life of a Haitian woman, weary from carrying jugs of water in the dusty summer heat. She escapes in the evening to watch Maxwell perform in an intimate café, followed by a passionate midnight rendezvous with him.
Maxwell says the video, "depicts a world in need of water and two clandestine lovers who meet with liquid dreams, one being the bare boned need for clean water, and another, the performer, who wants to be lost in the watery worlds of love and devotion."
Andelman continues, "this was such a special experience, Maxwell's vision for this piece really allowed us to push ourselves and create something personal. Shooting in small villages and pristine coastlines immersed us into the heart of the song. I am so grateful to have been part of this journey."
blackSUMMERS'night will arrive on July 1st. It's his first album in seven years and the second chapter of a musical trilogy that began with 2009's BLACKsummers'night.
Starting June 18th, he will embark on his SUMMERS' 2016 30-date tour, including a headlining slot at Essence Festival.

When you ponder about Asia, which is the country that normally strikes your mind? Is it China? Is it Indonesia? Did we hear no? Voila! It is Japan. And, why wouldn't it? Japan is one of the exceptionally popular nations of the world that have made unique contributions to culture, cuisine and science. If we talk about massive conglomerates, you may be amazed to know that most of the organizations are Japanese.
Finding accommodation can be difficult if you do not know how to go about it. There are many ways to go about it. The traditional way is to do the booking through a travel agency. Booking through a travel agency makes the task much easier because you do not have to do the research yourself and you don't have to worry about making calls for reservations. The travel agency will do all the work and all you have to do is give the agent all the details of what you want to do and where you want to go. The agent will then arrange all the details for you.

New Band Alert: The Tragic Thrills
Posted on October 25, 2013 by Amanda.
Once upon a time there was a pop band called Allstar Weekend. They were wildly popular, having toured all over the world and enjoying the perks of being a Disney-esque pop band. Then one day, they went into the studio to record a new album and realized they were a completely different band with a different sound than before. Thus began the transformation from AllStar Weekend to The Tragic Thrills.
Below is their newly released video for their single "Tears"
They've only played a handful of shows so far but if you like what you see (hear) you can catch them tonight (10/25) at the Bootleg with Irontom.

Kristen's LA Concert Calendar: 8/29-9/4
Posted on August 28, 2011 by Kristen.
I'm still sad about the cancellation of Sunset Junction. While I enjoyed the psudeo-Sunset Junction party in the backyard of Dangerbird Records yesterday (I'm definitely getting the new Butch Walker record out this week), I was really looking forward to the Belle Brigade/Rooney/Hanson line-up today. I guess it's all for the best. Now I have some time to catch up on work! Yay.
Other highlights from last week include my feat of epic proportions, finally seeing Brett Hite (such an amazing voice), the intimate Hotel Cafe performance from Needtobreathe (I was a puddle on the floor after that one) and seeing Michelle Branch again after six years (brought back so many happy memories).
What I'm really looking forward to this week is the recently scheduled TFDI performance at Room 5 Monday night. Here I was thinking I was going to miss all of their Southern California stops. And playing with Garrison Starr! I expect nothing short of amazing.

Kristen's LA Concert Calendar: 7/18-7/24
Posted on July 17, 2011 by Kristen.
I've been dancing around the apartment all morning…kind of on a Wallflowers kick, although my player just hit a Nirvana tune and I can dig that too. The good mood is most likely due to the fact that I have my car back and it feels like freedom. Also, I have a day off for the first time in what seems like ages (grocery shopping, bill paying, and household chores have never felt so good).
In a few minutes, I'm headed off to Culver City to check out the bands playing at the Eat Real Festival. I'm particularly looking forward to OddUs.

Posted on January 23, 2011 by Kristen.
Amanda and I are in New York City at the moment. Just came back from seeing the boys of Carney rock Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark (again). They made some changes in the second half that I loved. As you know, we ventured to the east coast because my first favorite band, Pepper's Ghost, had a reunion show at The Grape Room, Saturday in Philadelphia (their first show since 2007…). There are no words to describe how I felt about seeing this band play again. The whole day, really, spent with some of my favorite people and seeing a couple of my top bands (we also went to Northstar to catch a bit of Alright, Junior's set) is bound to go down as one of the best days of my year…hopefully I'll find some time to put up some pictures and, fingers crossed, video (!) soon.
But, in the meantime, we've got lots of great shows to look forward to this week in LA! Can't wait to get back (and not just because I'm freezing my fingers off over here)! Here's what I'd like to do:
Monday: Cold War Kids at Bootleg (10:30)
ALSO: Camp Freddy at Whiskey a Go Go (9pm)
ALSO: The Script at Jimmy Kimmel (6:45…with reservation from 1iota.com)
ALSO: Iron & Wine FREE at Amoeba (7pm)
ALSO: Songwriters in the Round at Room 5 (9pm)
ALSO: It's a School Night at Bardot featuring Royal Bangs and Gary Clark Jr. (10:30)
Tuesday: Cold War Kids at Amoeba (6pm)
ALSO: Anna Nalick at Saint Rocke (10:30)
ALSO: WPA featuring Glen Phillips and Sean Watkins at The Hotel Cafe (7pm)
ALSO: The Vaccines at The Satellite (9pm)
ALSO: The Canyons at Molly Malone's (9pm)
ALSO: Iron & Wine at The Wiltern (8pm)
ALSO: Olin & The Moon FREE at The Echo (10pm)
ALSO: 8mm at The Good Hurt (11pm)
Weds: Red Circle Underground at Silverlake Lounge (11pm)
ALSO: Keaton Simons at The Roxy (8pm)
ALSO: Bryan Greenberg at Saint Rocke (10pm)

March 3rd: Civil Twilight at The Troubadour
March 4th: After Midnight Project at The Roxy
March 22nd: War on Drugs at The Troubadour
Writing this while listening to Pepper's Ghost do a radio interview about their reunion show next weekend. If it's possible, I'm even more excited about my favorite band getting back together for a one night only double header show at The Grape Room in Philadelphia. There are a ton of awesome shows in LA this week, but I'm mostly excited about venturing east at the end of the week to catch Pepper's Ghost…and maybe some other fave Philly bands. And then going back to NYC to catch the guys of Carney once again rock out in Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark.
It's gonna be a fantastic week!

ABC News asks, "Vermont has the highest vaccination rate in the country. So why are cases surging?"
Vaccination prevents severe reactions, not infections. A high vaccination rate should reduce deaths and hospitalizations and other severe reactions, but doesn't necessarily reduce an increase in cases. The state's hospital capacity is still generally okay — although Northwestern Medical Center in Saint Albans is using 93 percent of its ICU beds.
The ABC News article notes:
"You still have pockets of unvaccinated people, even in a highly vaccinated state," said Dr. John Brownstein, an epidemiologist at Boston Children's Hospital and ABC News contributor. "Unvaccinated individuals are the primary host by which the virus will spread and continue to allow for transmission to take place in the community and ultimately create challenges for those that are vaccinated."
Some of us have been telling you this for a while now! Back in early September, I wrote:
Now, if Massachusetts, with its near-best vaccination rates, can find itself with strained hospital systems, every other state is almost certain to find itself with similar or worse problems. As much as people may enjoy a simple morality play of good blue states and bad red states, the lesson is that Delta will cut through every population, and even having a small percentage of eligible people unvaccinated can result in open beds in hospitals disappearing fast.
It is also worth emphasizing that while COVID-19-related hospitalization of fully vaccinated people is exceptionally rare in terms of the percentage of all vaccinated people, in a large enough population, fully vaccinated people with a bad reaction to COVID-19 can still occupy a decent amount of beds.

Salient Features of Papaya Cultivation
By M. Bilal Khan, Dr. Zahoor Hussain, Mujahid Ali
(College of Agriculture, University of Sargodha)
There is much more blessing of Allah on us and life is one of those. As a human, we are the great creatures among all other creatures. That's why we are called as "Ashraf-ul-Makhlukat". Because we have the sense to think and the sense to judge that things which are good for us, for all other living things and for our environment. It is the mechanism of the world that one living thing will feed on other living organisms. Every moment an organism is in search of food by hunting. For good and disease-free health or for growth, consumption of quality nutrients is very essential. There are many sources to complete that requirement. Agriculture and former play basic and very necessary role in completing the requirement of the food in the world. Agriculture and farming is the reason for survival of humans lives in the world. It is necessary for survival; without which there would be famines. By the grace of Allah in Pakistan we have multifarious soils and various climate which is suitable for growing verity of agricultural produce. Where Pakistan got acceptable position in the ranking of world by producing agricultural commodities. There was not that much trend of rising papaya before 30 years. But now papaya is becoming popular among the farmers of this regions.
9 reasons to use coconut oil
Papaya is considered minor fruit crop in Pakistan. It is botanically called as Carica papaya belongs to family caricaceae and genus carica. In Urdu it is called as Papita. It is native to Mexico and north south America. Papaya has become throughout the Caribbean Island, Florid, Texas, California, Hawaii, and other tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Papaya grow best in tropical and subtropical areas of Pakistan. Papayas are the fourth most traded tropical fruit following bananas, mango and pineapples. Approximately 75 percent of the world`s papayas are produced in only ten countries. India, Brazil, Nigeria, Mexico, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Congo, Venezuela, China. United states are the world`s largest papaya producers.
The importance of papaya in the world`s economy is demonstrated by its wide distribution and substantial production in tropical countries. It has long been known and cultivated in home gardens because it is one of the few fruits which throughout the year, gives quick returns and adapts itself to diverse soil and climatic conditions. The fruit is cultivated for its nutritive value as it is an important and economical source of certain vitamins and minerals. Besides, it is highly prized for medicinal value. The fruit is used in the treatment of piles, dyspepsia of spleen and liver, digestive disorders, diphtheria and skin blemishes. It is a rich source of pectin and alkaloids like carpaine.
It has many other practical applications in industry. It is used in refining beer and in wool and silk before dyeing and to de-hair hides before tanning. It serves as an adjunct in rubber manufacturing and applied tuna liver before extraction of the oil, which is thereby made rich in vitamins. It enters toothpastes, cosmetics and detergent, as well as pharmaceutical preparation to aid digestion.
Papaya is dioecious having male and female plant separate. Papaya is generally grown from seed which may take three to five weeks for germination. it is expedited by two to three weeks and the percentage of germination increases by washing off the aril. Then the seeds are dried and dusted with fungicides to avoid damping-off, a common loss of seedlings/ well-prepared seeds can be stored for as long as three years, but the percentage of germination declines with age. Farmyard manure should be used at the time of planting. It is important that farmyard manure should be dry and well-rotted because there is likelihood of the introduction of weeds and insects in plantation. About 4-5 kg should be used per pit, this approximates to the contents of a basket of 35 cm diameter and depth of 15 cm.
Less but satisfactory results are obtained with FYM as low as 2 kg per pit if the full quantity is not available. The manure should be thoroughly mixed with the soil and farmyard manure is returned to pit and packed to a level which brings the top of the seedling plant to 1-2 cm. the average of the farmyard manure used by the sample respondent is found three to four trucks ∕ acre. The average cost of farmyard manure at Rs 7422 per acre.
An economics analysis is necessary to verify the use of various inputs of production and the income obtained. Fixed cost of papaya is estimated by calculating all the cost incurred from initial land development. The main cost involved are land development, labour and machinery. Land development cost includes ploughing, planking, leveling and layout of the field. Land rent and government taxes and mark-up on the fixed capital have been included in the fixed cost. The wages of permanent labour and repair of farm equipment's and other miscellaneous costs are considered as the fixed cost.
The variable cost consists of production practices and inputs costs including the farmyard manure, fertilizers and pesticides. The wages for haired labour for irrigation, inter-culturing, harvesting, handling, transportation and other management practices have been included in the analysis these costs are known as the capital, defined as the capital required for the production cycle.
Study finding reveal that the growers follow traditional practices resulting in low production compared to potential yield. The gap between the potential and actual yield is wide due to poor management practices and post-harvest loss. Other causes of low yield are identified as inadequate use of chemical fertilizer, lack of knowledge to control insect pest and diseases.
The empirical investigation reveals that in the horticultural sector, resources are not optimally allocated which is reflected by the fact that producers achieve low yield. The papaya production varies from year to year because of the perishable nature, seasonal price variation and high production cost. It is investigated that growers put more area under papaya the following years, in case the current market prices are high. This results in serious glut and heavy losses to growers.
There is lack of information among growers, particularly at the time of harvesting, grading, packing, transportation, market price and supply of the produce. For market conditions, growers mostly obtained information from transporters, or they visit the hole seal market where commission agents are the main source of information. It is observed that commission agents do not provide timely and accurate information to growers with the result that information received is often, misleading, delayed and lack credibility which limits the growers to take timely decision for marketing their produce.
There is a shortage of cold storage and processing industries and thus growers are compelled to sell papaya produce at low price. There is a need to improve the existing infrastructure facilities, particularly the cold storages and small and medium size processing industries which may help in regulating the supply of papaya in markets, and thereby control price variation in the country.

"The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that manufactured them in their cores and exploded these enriched ingredients across our galaxy, billions of years ago. For this reason, we are biologically connected to every other living thing in the world. We are chemically connected to all molecules on Earth. And we are atomically connected to all atoms in the universe. We are not figuratively, but literally stardust." -Neil DeGrasse Tyson I distrust wonder implicitly. It is not meant to survive or have permanence. It is held up as a virtue in modern society. It shouldn't be.
Wonder has a purpose in your brain but it isn't to be sought for its own sake. To do so speaks to intellectually low-level behavior. Like the mind of a drug addict who has been commandeered by an overriding quest. It isn't necessarily an ethical statement (although I could make it one) but it speaks to a reduction of intelligence complexity. A loss. In my world view, that becomes an ethical statement. It may vary for you.
Mystics and charlatans accrue a false credibility by deliberately creating bewonderment. Discipline experts obscure the narrow irrelevance of their field with overreaching attempts at forced poetic wonder. Theology uses it to subdue reason and establish a sense of authority. Bewonderment is declarifying, obscuring and mystifying. It's a pacifying tool imbuing a psychological-informational sense on its bewondered listeners that the speaker has access to knowledge they don't.
It's an attempt at intellectual stagnation. That there exists a permanent mystery that shall be given infinite reverence.
Perhaps the speaker does know something I don't but the attempt only makes me suspicious. Attempts to be awe-inducing or dramatic should put you on your guard.
Take new ageists for example. Clarity-seeking isn't necessarily the exact opposite of what they do but it is different. The difference is made obvious when they are put side by side a clarity-prioritizer, and, after a while, after using clear definitions and simplifying narratives, make things less mysterious. Boring in fact. That's fine. After interesting comes boring. This happens quite quickly. You've figured it out. You will find new things to be interested in. Or new levels. Obfuscation does something different. It injects mystery, drama, a sense of wonder. Our explanation systems should not purposely create this.
Mystification isn't that hard or that useful. There is plenty to be in wonder about, mystified about, be interested in, things to figure out. There's no point in artificially creating the actual state of mind or prioritize that mental state above actually figuring things out.
Wonder is just another mental state. It's your subconscious system communicating a mismatch between new information and expectation based on old information. Expectation informed from all your previous experiences and information. Which is frankly embarrassingly limited. Frequent cycles of interest and boredom relative to your exposure are bound to happen but wonder isn't a perpetual mystery to be treated with wonder itself.
Wonder and awe are states of confusion. Slack-jawed, drooling, stupefying confusion that has been somehow been culturally revered as a worthwhile human condition in our modern times. It's been erected as an obelisk of our humanness serving as a pedestal holding up our stupidest ideas.
The majesty of a rock formation or a frozen waterfall. The state of being inspired. The idea we're beings made from exploded suns. That billions of years of planetary experimentation crafted our bodies and minds. That we can describe concepts like infinity and love, and even combine them both into a single sonnet. Can you believe it? How wondrous wonder is? Yes, you're easily impressed. Go away.
Mental confusion is bound to happen like some Neolithic tribe seeing a helicopter for the first time. But eventually even they get over it. There's a reason befuddlement is socially embarrassing. I'm not chiding being momentarily impressed or momentarily confused. I'm saying bewonderment is a self-conscious stagnation of curiosity. A stagnation that is toxic to comprehension.
Just as the universe may have come from soul-chilling void so defined by nothing that it can't even be described as empty; the intelligent biological algorithms of the nervous system came from an exhaustively unintelligent process of planet-wide genocidal culling for eons; our attempts at absolutism comes from an information organ grounded in relativism trying to efficiently reduce all patterns to one grand pattern. Feel free not to be continually impressed by any of this.
We can infuse our own interpretations on the world outside, to our own benefit even. Purpose, intent, autonomy, consciousness are encapsulating summaries, rough approximations we use. But do not tread outside the boundaries of those words with your own goals of bewonderment because that fiat currency isn't redeemable outside the limits of those definitions. When you run into problems of answering a question, a paradox of meaning, it may be that you are asking a meaningless question. Using words not meant to be used in that way. Definitions have limitations, even our abstract concepts.
Failures of our interpretations or systems of understanding should stand as an example of the obvious limitation of those words or meanings. Not as a paradox of the actual universe (or the machinery of your brain) to savor and dwell in for wonder's sake.
Failures in our understanding shouldn't be given reverence. To persist in bewonderment, disrespects what we are capable of. Failures, when they occur, ought to be distilled in the most arguing language possible and dissected cerebrally so that a wariness of them can be integrated into our intuition.
Ask poorly defined rhetorical questions if you want. Splash around in your astonishment at self-created paradoxes. Be puzzled by your own brain's tendency to seek wonder. Get sucked into the mystery of that mystery. But then you're not genuinely asking a question. So keep it to yourself. You will get an answer about how your question is a disaster or, more likely than not, no response at all. What you will not get from me is shared wonderment. Not even wonderment about why you seek wonderment. Or how the universe, as it appears to us is full of mystery. It's all understandable. Hardly interesting. It's just a lack of comprehension.
There are genuinely interesting things, even if they are scarce and short-lived. But the sake of wonder isn't for itself, so I don't need to go creating it deliberately. Intentional mystery through definitional sloppiness is a bad word game on the level of puns.
Deliberate wonder is to deliberately dull the comprehension of your mind. To be enchanted with wonder itself is to stagnate and undo clarification. It makes you vulnerable to shoddy explanations, robs you of your curiosity, capitulates your mind to the unimaginative and stands in the way of personal clarity.


Living in Central Florida, we seem to be on the nation's radar a lot...shark bites, Spring Break, the Casey, the Trayvon...not normally in the greatest of lights.
The one thing that we have in Daytona that I am proud of is our NASCAR presence. In Daytona, we hold two race weeks, but today is the Super Bowl of them all-the Daytona 500. It has been touted in Forbes as one of the most valuable sports brand in the world. That is pretty impressive, and its great to be a part of that.
Yesterday, at the Nationwide Drive4COPD race, there was a huge wreck...actually one of two red flags that had injuries. ESPN/FOX were really quick-making a game plan and executing great television coverage. Because I am the nerdy news junkie, and you don't think of this like I do...remember this is impressive because they aren't normally reporting on too many things tragic. It was great to see them really deliver.
But if you were smart, you went to Twitter. NASCAR has been great partners with Twitter in its earliest stage. I learned most of what I know about social media when we had our Racing Fashionistas blog several years ago. It was a time where Twitter wasn't known to many, but in the NASCAR scene...it was the quickest way to connect and be informed in its earliest stages. It was beneficial for us and for our blog as we watched races with other fans and grew our following. Soon the drivers were on board personally tweeting, then the crew chiefs, spotters and other key members of the sport began using Twitter as a platform and a way to communicate socially.
While traditional media was limited to saying the same few things over and over awaiting confirmation from the Speedway and NASCAR....the social media coverage from people like Marty Smith (ESPN) and Tom Bowles (Frontstretch.com) was stellar. I am sure there was more that contributed but between the two of them, and my friends on the inside I had accurate information that I could help our radio station and MRN affiliate report on the situation. In time of tragedy, here is where Twitter wins. We took full advantage of these resources to become quick, real time and breaking where others failed.
Even this morning, on my NBC local affiliate on the day of the area's biggest race of the year, I am listening to a taped report from last night speaking about the crash mentioning Reagan Smith, (incorrectly pronounced as Ray-gan), reporting on Danica Patrick and how she finished (because that is pertinent) and a report on Michael Annett's condition that was old..really old.
You would think you would get this from your traditional sources that report all day every day (NBC, CNN, etc) but I am thankful for ESPN, Jayski and FOX Sports to lead the way by using social media resources as a method of reporting. Recognizing that the public could benefit from a Twitter or Facebook perspective makes me wish they could report on all the non sports related stuff.
Marty spoke us back with the Racing Fashionistas in 2010 about his initial experiences with Twitter, I am so glad that he stuck with it...wondering if he still has a Blackberry tho!!! Read that article here.


There is your problem. Your fuel pressure is too low. This engine requires a minimum of 55 PSI to run. The spec is 56 to 62PSI. I suspect that you probably purchased a cheap discount fuel pump and it has failed already.
Make sure you verify power and ground at the pump before condemning it.


The final piece of the puzzle is finally in place for the US dollar index!. It's what we have been waiting for – a break below 76. This long awaited move gives a potentially complete 5 wave move down from the breakdown at 78.50 earlier this month. This is sigificant because it now means that all the elements are now in place for the US dollar to make a final bottom and reverse.
We have been discussing this potential for some time in our short term market reports, and with a US dollar www.trade-futures.com daily bullish sentiment index at historic lows of just 3% (only one other time has it been this low in the past 20 years!) and now most importantly a potentially completed 5 wave elliott wave pattern the odds are now firmly in favour of a major bottom in the dollar and a major top in the markets.
If you are so inclined, and you are holding any long positions in the markets it might now be a good time to talk with your financial advisors about switching to safety, such as to cash or to fixed interest because once this reversal gets started it might not stop for years……. in fact we have an intermediate target for the S&P500 of 350.
We might be wrong, but the historical data say this is unlikely……..


SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) A Vermonter living in Costa Rica was found dead last week after being reported missing back in August, now his family is frustrated by what they say has been a slow investigation by authorities.
"He didn't deserve to die this way, not at all," said Sandra LaFrance, who is heartbroken over her brother's death.
Tom Cook, a lifelong Vermonter, had recently retired to Jaco, Costa Rica.
"He loved life. He worked hard, he partied harder," said Samantha Eayrs, Cook's niece.
"And he loved jazz and reggae, which is why I call him my reggae hippy brother," LaFrance said.
But he still kept in constant contact with his family, so when they stopped hearing from him back in August they were concerned.
"We reached out to so many people and nobody had heard from him," LaFrance said.
Weeks passed and then last Friday they got the news -- Cook's body had been identified.
"He was buried in a shallow grave," LaFrance said.
They say the Missing Americans Project was instrumental in helping them get some answers, but niece Eayrs says it will take a while to come to terms with those. "It's this extra sting that will take a long time to sort through," she said.
Authorities called it a murder. LaFrance says they suspect a young woman he had started a relationship with there. "He was really trusting, and really trusted this girl. And we don't exactly know the involvement of all of it, but she is a person of interest for sure," LaFrance said.
Cook's family isn't sure they'll get justice, but their mission now is to warn others about the dangers of traveling abroad and the limitations of the U.S. government to protect them. They want to see the government create a rapid response network globally to help in cases like this.
"I just pray that we can help change that, so the next person doesn't have to go through what we've gone through," LaFrance said.
They say they're working on bringing Cook's remains back and then they will hold a celebration of his life.

Cavs Re-Sign Rodney Hood
Cavs.com
Posted: Sep 10, 2018
CLEVELAND – The Cleveland Cavaliers have re-signed guard Rodney Hood, Cavaliers General Manager Koby Altman announced today, September 10 from Cleveland Clinic Courts. The Cavaliers extended a qualifying offer to Hood on June 29, 2018.
In 21 games (11 starts) with Cleveland last season, Hood averaged 10.8 points and 2.6 rebounds in 25.3 minutes per game. He was acquired by the Cavaliers from the Utah Jazz as part of a three-team trade on Feb. 8, 2018. On the season in 2017-18, Hood averaged 14.7 points and 2.8 rebounds in 26.9 minutes per game over 60 contests (23 starts) with Utah and Cleveland. Hood also appeared in 17 playoff games (one start) during the Cavaliers' 2018 NBA Finals run, averaging 5.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per contest.
The 6-8 guard out of Duke was originally selected by the Jazz with the 23rd overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. He owns career averages of 13.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 27.5 minutes per game over 248 total contests (178 starts). He has appeared in the playoffs in two seasons, averaging 6.8 points and 2.2 rebounds in 19.2 minutes per game over 28 postseason contests (one start) with Utah and Cleveland.

So far, the silhouette looks very close to the current model.
Which is expected. Since these don't change shape too much.
And a cleaner front end.
For decades, Mercedes used each S-Class to start their new design language. Then every other model would follow. The E-Class would look like a smaller S-class. And the C-Class like a smaller E.
It seems that has changed for this generation. Since the new CLS is the one that introduced the new design language. Followed now by the A-Class.

Home Business & Finance IFC considers funding Philippines' 175-MW Ambuklao-Binga
IFC considers funding Philippines' 175-MW Ambuklao-Binga
The World Bank's International Finance Corp. (IFC) is considering an application to help finance the privatization and refurbishment of the Philippines' 75-MW Ambuklao and 100-MW Binga hydroelectric projects.
Philippine power producer Aboitiz Power and Norway's Statkraft Norfund Power Invest (SN Power) won a 2007 privatization auction offering US$325 million for the Ambuklao and Binga hydropower plants in the northern Philippines' Benguet Province. (HNN 11/28/07)
IFC said its board is expected to act in June on a proposal to provide loans totaling US$100 million to SN Aboitiz Power Benguet Inc., the venture set up to own and operate the projects. IFC said the total project cost of US$560 million includes acquisition for US$325 million and refurbishment capital expenditures of about US$170 million.
The World Bank unit said other loans are expected, from Nordic Investment Bank for US$60 million and from a consortium of Philippine banks for US$200 million. The remaining cost is expected to be financed by equity and internally generated cash flow. IFC said the project sponsors are in discussions with suppliers to finalize project costs.
Ambuklao and Binga are located 19 kilometers apart on the Agno River at Bokod and Itogon in Benguet Province of Luzon Island. Ambuklao, which has three 25-MW turbine-generators, was completed in December 1956 and has been under preservation by National Power Corp. (Napocor) since 2000. Binga, which has four 25-MW units, was commissioned in 1960.
IFC said SN Aboitz Power Benguet is expected to take possession of the hydro projects from Napocor in June. The rehabilitation is to recommission Ambuklao, which has been shut down due to silt problems, upgrade Binga, and increase the combined capacity by 50 MW in total, 30 MW for Ambuklao and 20 MW for Binga.
Ambuklao's rehabilitation, through July 2010, is to include construction of a new intake and a new tailrace at higher elevations, installation of new electrical and mechanical equipment, erosion repairs, and repairs to gates.
Binga's rehabilitation, through early 2013, is to include construction of a new intake similar to Ambuklao's, improvement of spillway capacity, embankment repairs, and installation of new electrical and mechanical equipment, including generating units.
IFC, Norway Industrial, HSBC, Bank of the Philippine Islands, Banco de Oro, Philippine National Bank, China Bank, and Security Bank provided funding to SN Aboitiz Power Inc. in 2006 for privatization of the 360-MW Magat hydroelectric project for US$530 million. The Philippine government is attempting to raise up to US$5 billion by selling Napocor power plants. (HNN 4/11/08)
For information, contact SN Aboitiz Power Inc., Chief Executive Officer Emmanuel V. Rubio, 2/F Herco Center, 114 Benavidez St., Legaspi Village, Makati, Philippines; (632) 818-8066; E-mail: manny.rubio@snapgeneration.com.

Q: menu_class wordpress navigation. problems defining multiple nested classes So I am new to wordpress and have created a menu in the dashboard.
Here is the code I have in my header.php file....
<?php function register_my_menu() {
      register_nav_menu('header-menu',__( 'Header Menu' ));
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menu' ); ?>

    <?php

    function register_my_menus() {
      register_nav_menus(
        array(
          'header-menu' => __( 'Header Menu' ),
          'extra-menu' => __( 'Extra Menu' )
        )
      );
    }
    add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menus' );

    ?>

    <?php

     wp_nav_menu( array(
        'theme_location' => 'inner-header',
        'menu_class' => 'menubar',

     ) );

     ?>

The Problem I am having is that when I am defining the menu_class it will only work if I call single word classes. Here is the css below. I am needing the whole menu to be styled with all of the
styling for the menu.
ul.menubar {
  background: white;
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0 10px;
  height: 40px;
  padding-bottom: 30px;
  float: right;
}
/* line 157, ../scss/my-styles.scss */
ul.menubar > li {
  display: inline-block;
  position: relative;
}
/* line 161, ../scss/my-styles.scss */
ul.menubar > li > a {

There couldn't be anything in the world more fascinating for my little guys to watch.
If I didn't know better, I would say you totally stole this from my blog! The exact scene is gracing my street, and we sit outside and watch for hours of entertainment as well. How fun!
we have that just down the street, Tristan says "actor, actor" (tractor) every time we go by and STRAINS in his stroller to see it.
It is so funny how things like that bring everyone out. When we cut down our tree people came out to watch.
Live action is the best because it's REAL.
You never know, this could be the start of something big for your little guys!
Oh my goodness, I have a 4 yr old nephew how would've sat at the window and watched them for hours.
Looks like the big truck time!! Love it!

Bitch Magazine - Political InQueery: Policing Masculinity
It's always interesting to me when feminists call out other women for their attacks on men - in this case it's Bitch Magazine, a very cool feminist magazine. But this political season, it's not only women questioning men's virility, it's also men doing it - and what both the men and women have in common is that they are very conservative Republicans.
This smells like the continuation of something that started a few months ago, when Kathleen Parker wrote an article called Obama: Our First Female President - and we are likely to see much more of it into the 2012 election cycle as well.
It seems that the strategy is to use traditional gender norms as a tool against liberalism. It keeps many good men locked into painfully restrictive roles, so maybe they are hoping it will work to force Democrats further to the right, or discredit them completely with voters.
Political InQueery: Policing Masculinity
Science and Politics post by EvMaroon, October 15, 2010
In last night's Nevada Senatorial debate, Sharron Angle told Harry Reid to "man up." This was in response to Reid's pressure on Angle regarding her stance on Social Security. The exchange:
Reid: Don't frighten people about Social Security. The deal that was made by President Reagan and Tip O'Neil is holding strong. The money is there and taking care of our folks and will for the next 35 years.
Angle: Man up, Harry Reid. You need to understand that we have a problem with Social Security. That problem was created because of government taking money out of the Social Security trust fund.
For the record, Angle is wrong. And in the interest of full disclosure, I worked for the Social Security Administration for two years. Nobody in the Federal (or any) government has taken out of the SSA trust fund. And no other Federal agency's trustees look 75 years ahead to ensure the solvency of their program. So one of the reasons—there are many, to be sure—why people carp about SSA becoming insolvent is because there is such transparent math performed on this program. But what Ms. Angle is saying about the government taking money out of the trust fund is simply and clearly incorrect.
It was a rhetorical move on her part to start with a command to "man up," just in front of her opponent's name, a phrase that is all over popular culture in a way that didn't occur with such frequency say, a decade ago. Now we can't even get through Julie & Julia without hearing it. Culturally, it's said when men are perceived as not pulling their weight or being too emotional, so the order to "man up" is a policing tactic on a person's gendered inadequacy.
In was in another debate, in Delaware, when Christine O'Donnell told the audience that her opponent, Chris Coons, was "addicted" to spending money, including $53,000 for a "men's fashion show." While these numbers have been shown to be closer to $5,000—for a gala event that included a fashion show among other entertainment during a fundraising evening—O'Donnell seems to be making a statement about Coons' masculinity, attaching it to a stereotype, often applied to women, that he is a shopaholic. This isn't necessarily surprising for O'Donnell, since during her primary run she said of her opponent, Mike Castle:
You know, these are the kind of cheap, underhanded, un-manly tactics that we've come to expect from Obama's favorite Republican, Mike Castle. You know, I released a statement today, saying, "Mike this is not a bake-off, get your man-pants on." (Laughs)
I'm not sure if she's accusing Mr. Castle of cross-dressing or just being inadequately masculine, but in either case, it's a rhetorical choice that means something. And it's happening all throughout this election cycle.
In Georgia, Republican gubernatorial candidate Karen Handle told runoff opponent Nathan Deal, "It's frankly time to put the big boy pants on," suggesting he wasn't ready for the election or to govern the state. Deal did go on to win the GOP nomination. Out in New York, the surprise by Carl Paladino over Republican vetern Rick Lazio in the governor primary race took a sudden back seat in the press to Paladino's taunts toward his Democratic opponent, Andrew Cuomo, son of former NY governor Mario Cuomo.
Frankly, I don't think you have the cojones to face me and the other candidates in an open debate. . . . So Andrew, for the first time in your life be a man. Don't hide behind Daddy's coattails even though he pulled strings to advance your career every step of your way. Come out and debate like a man.
Paladino is saying he's the more manly man in the fight. So of course that would make him the better governor, right? And cojones is exactly the term that Sarah Palin used in August about President Obama, saying, "Jan Brewer has the cojones that our president does not have to look out for all Americans [on immigration reform]." What could be worse for a man than to be less manly that a woman?
In these examples, Republicans are calling Democrats weak, soft, and dangerous to have as a part of government because they're not masculine enough. These moments come up as sound bites in debates, distractions from actually talking about policy, or from talking about policy accurately. They appear during news shows, or to goad the opposition into making a heated or overly emotional response, as Cuomo did in September. But because the ideology around "man up" includes a man too weak to keep his emotions in check, such attempts at firebrand defenses can play into the accusation itself.
Also interesting is how for Reid, Deal, and—though he's not running at the moment—Obama, discussions that they would like to have on political issues must be, at least temporarily, precluded until they can assert their masculinity. None of these male candidates ever agrees with the charge of masculine weakness, of course. So it is that the right-wing has seen that it's an effective tactic for keeping their opponents on the defensive.
One wonders why the left-wing lets this gender policing wield such power.

I have been reading your posts trying to get where you are coming from. This one kind of cleared it up for me. Your first mistake was in considering Kathleen Parker a conservative.That is like calling hamburger a steak on a bun. Then you attack Palin and Angle. Pretty obvious. I think you detest strong women and you read too much into age old cliches "man-up", what should she have said "woman up." Your piece on goddess worship indicates a complete cluelessness on theology and feminine and masculine divine. I thought this might be a site for me, but it is not.Also I noticed most if not all of the comments on the various entries are people that agree with you.

Pothashang News Service: Imphal, December 30, 2017: The Meitei community today celebrated Emoinu festival worshipping the mother goddess of wealth, peace and prosperity, Emoinu Ahongbi.
Emoinu Eratpa ritual is performed at home and in public places on the 12th of the Wakching month in the Manipuri lunar calendar. According to a Meitei myth, Goddess Emoinu lands on earth every year on this day and visits each home to shower her blessings.
People lit candles and decorate with lights at home to welcome the Goddess. A well-prepared meal with the main dish of silver fish curry is offered to the deity, who takes rest at funga lairu (traditional fireplace in the kitchen). Lord Sanamahi is also offered with fresh vegetables, fruits and uncooked rice to seek blessing for prosperity.
Apart from worshipping Emoinu at home, rituals of Emoinu worship were also organised at the community level. Major celebrations were held at Wangkhei Ningthem Pukhri Mapal in Imphal East district and Yumnam Leikai Lairembi Lampak in Imphal West. The festival was organised with great fanfare.It is said the worship of Emoinu began in the 5th century when only the royal family worshipped the goddess. Later in the 15th century, the common people also began to worship Her. The Goddess is worshipped both by the Hindu Meitei and the Sanamahi Meitei in the state.
The celebration began with the invocation of Pena Yaikairol and offering of seasonal vegetables, fruits, traditional sweets and clothes to the goddess. In the afternoon, a fire place is lit up to welcome the Goddess. Music and dance performances were also presented in the evening.
The festival is also celebrated at different locations organised by local clubs and civil society organisations.
People wishes for a peaceful state where there is no bloodshed and social unrest.

Description: Mount Veniaminof erupted explosively from Saturday, August 27, 1892 through Monday, August 29, 1892.
From Davidson (1892): "From Captain Erskine, commanding the Alaska Commercial Company's steamer St. Paul, we learn that on Sunday, the 28th of August, 1892, when in latitude 53 degrees 05 minutes, longitude 155 degrees 52 minutes west, on his voyage to the Shumagin Islands, he passed through a black cloud of volcanic ash, so thick that it very nearly obscured the sun from 10 o'clock A.M. to 2 o'clock P.M.; the sea was grey with the fallen ashes, and his decks were covered during his passage of thirty-two miles through it. It had a strong sulphurous odor. * * * At noon the vessel was 223 nautical miles southeastward of the volcano; the wind was moderately light from the northwest, and the sea smooth. He estimated the cloud, as he saw it, to be about one hundred miles long, and from one-half to one mile high. He has furnished us with a bottle of the fine, dark grey dust, as it was gathered from the vessel's deck.
"Lieut. John C. Cantwell, of the U.S. revenue steamer Richard Rush, has given us the following memoranda, which he obtained from Captain Applegate, who has been many years in Alaskan waters, and whose vessel was, at the time of the eruption, anchored in the harbor of Ivanof.
"On Saturday, August 27, 1892, the schooner Everett Hays, engaged in hunting in the vicinity of the Shumagin Islands, entered Ivanof Harbor, on the southwestern extremity of the Alaska Peninsula, and only 25 miles southwestwardly from the volcano. Capt. J.S. Applegate, the owner, was on board, and states: 'About 10 o'clock Saturday night, the weather being calm and clear, a low, rumbling, intermittent sound was heard, and caused the crew to come on deck to ascertain the cause. There was no surf, and the cause was unknown. Between 11 and 12 o'clock, a dark cloud was observed in the sky, towards the northeast, and about 2 o'clock, A.M., this cloud had increased in volume and height until it covered the greater part of the northeast heavens.
"'The low, rumbling noise had become a continuous roar, like the blast from a great furnace, and by 3 o'clock lurid flames could be seen amidst the smoke, which was now rising high in tremendous volumes from a single point, being by compass about northeast. The vast column of smoke reached an estimated height of two miles, and then expanded like a great spreading oak. From the lower edge of this great volume, colored flames waved like banners, and vivid flashes of lightning were apparently discharged into the base of the column. This grand display continued, until daylight caused the flames to be somewhat dimmed, but masses of dense smoke continued to roll upward all Sunday. Toward noon a light northwest wind sprang up, and the clouds began to trend to the southeastward, covering the mainland and the adjacent islands with a thick layer of ashes and volcanic dust.
"'At the anchorage it was dead calm, and there was no perceptible movement of the sea on the beach, as would have occurred if there had been earthquake waves. The continuous lightning discharges were accompanied by deafening peals of thunder, that were plainly heard at the Metrufan village, 50 miles distant, and at Unga Island, 75 nautical miles distant.'
"Captain Applegate could not get the exact location of the volcano, on account of the high range of mountains, which here approach the sea. The Hays left Ivanof Bay on Sunday, and steered south to Pavlof Island, whence the ash cloud was plainly visible to the eastward until late on Monday, when it gradually disappeared in the southeast.
"Captain Bowles, of the fishing schooner Fremont, of San Francisco, reports that on Saturday, August 27th, and for seven days after, he was lying at anchor on Slime Bank, in the Bering Sea, in the vicinity of Port Moller, and 60 miles nearly west from the volcano. He observed at the first date what appeared to be a heavy black cloud in the southeast, which he thought foreboded a southeast storm, and took precautions to put his vessel out of its track. On Sunday morning before daybreak, however, he and his crew saw volumes of ruby red and yellow flames bursting forth with indescribable grandeur from the cloud, and heard plainly the reverberations of thunder. The display lasted with unabated energy until Monday morning, when it appeared to die slowly away."

Being a journalist looks like an easy professional career option. But, it is not as easy as it looks. If you don't believe me, then just look at the life of Bob Woodruff, an American TV journalist, who almost lost his life due to a life-threatening brain injury.
Heroes are not only those who stay at the border to save the country, or who save your lives but, heroes are also those who risk their lives for the sake of getting the information moving. Likewise, the TV journalist of ABC News Channel, Bob Woodruff, who is married to Lee Woodruff, should also be called out as a hero after getting recovered from the traumatic bomb blast. Also, we will discuss the injury's hamper in the personal and professional life of Bob Woodruff.
Bob Woodruff just succeeded the co-anchor of ABC World News Tonight, Peter Jennings, but in his travel to cover the 2006 Palestinian elections, he was injured severely. The news reporter along with his ABC News team was traveling to Baghdad to meet the troops before the ex-president's address ceremony, George W. Bush's State of the Union Address for 2006.
As they were traveling to Baghdad, a roadside bomb went off and destroyed their ride, injuring all of the riders critically. Even if the host was wearing body armors and protective helmets, Bob got injured seriously in the head.
They were later brought to Bethesda Naval Hospital after some period. During that period, the host went through a head surgery where a part of his skull was removed to certain his safety.
Bob stayed under the influence of a coma for 36 days to help his recovery. On the 7th March 2006, Woodruff was reported to walk and speak in several languages, but still, his condition was not that good.
On 16th March, he was transferred to a hospital near his hometown. Until December of the same year, Bob was fully recovered and traveled back to Iraq to visit the soldiers with whom he was traveling at the time of the accident.
With a recovery from such a life threating injury, Bob was bound to have taken it as his second birth. After his recovery, the host took the role of the co-host in the Good Morning America, ABC World News with Charles Gibson. Despite his recovery, he was still suffering from a partial loss of language at times.
For his injury, the host released a documentary revealing all about the brain injury and the difficulties the war veterans had to face. After a continuous hosting with Charles Gibson, he was transferred to the Nighline show.
After his accident, he also opened up a foundation after his name, Bob Woodruff Foundation, to help the veterans get the highest level of support and resources they deserve.
Well, talking about his family life, he had no problems with that. With a supportive and caring family like his, he recovered quickly. He has got some awards for his contribution to the field of journalism with his greatest being the Peabody Award.
