11 from '11
Damian Evans selects the crucial discs of the year
2011 was, in my opinion, a wonderful year for music. Despite all the headlines proclaiming the death of the music industry, we were still given what I think was the finest collection of albums of this century so far. Try as I might, I can't narrow such a great selection down to a Top 10, so you're getting my Top 11 albums of 2011.
As is usual, January gave us a whole trove of interesting new releases. A great time to pick up some albums as record labels try to take advantage of a quieter period in the calendar.
We'll start with my first album to feature in the Top 11 of the year: 'Cape Dory' by Tennis. This husband-and-wife duo's debut features some beautiful songs; Alaina Moore's vocals perfectly complement the light, melodic electro arrangements to creat an album which should appeal to fans of bands such as Howling Bells.
Among my other favourite January releases were acclaimed new albums from the likes of British Sea Power ('Valhalla Dancehall') and Tapes N Tapes ('Outside') – the 4th album from this still relatively little known American indie group. White Lies released the follow-up to their successful debut album, giving us a more electronic, 80s-sounding LP in 'Ritual' (which was kept off the No.1 spot by the huge interest in Bruno Mars' debut), while the ever reliable Wire released 'Red Barked Tree', proving that even after 35 years together, the band can still record some of the finest material of their impressive career.
January also gave us the year's biggest selling album. Wherever you turned, it was hard to get away from Adele in 2011. She's not a personal favourite of mine, but the north London singer broke records in the UK as well as topping the charts across most of the world and remained in the UK Top 10 right through to Christmas.
Other noteworthy albums released in January were from The Decemberists ('The King Is Dead'); Destroyer ('Kaputt'); Deerhoof ('Deerhoof Vs. Evil'); Hercules & Love Affair ('Blue Songs'), and Iron & Wine ('Kiss Each other Clean'). The end of the month also saw the release of the second album from Chase & Status ('No More Idols') in what was to prove a successful crossover year for dubstep and drum & bass artists. The success of the Chase & Status album, Katy B's Mercury nomination, the excellent 'Welcome Reality' by Nero (probably my twelfth favourite album of the year), Beyoncé's employment of producer Switch on her album '4' plus key chart singles produced by the likes of Benga, Diplo and Skream have created an exciting time in a truly homegrown genre.
The next album from my top 11 was released in February and has proved to be the year's most acclaimed album. PJ Harvey's 'Let England Shake' has topped many end of year polls as well as winning this year's Mercury Prize and showed the singer / songwriter to be in excellent form. Tracks such as 'The Glorious Land', 'The Words That Maketh Murder' and 'Hanging In The Wire' rank among the finest of her career and she has surely cemented her position as one of our finest songwriters.
Released on the same day as PJ Harvey's album 'Hotel Shampoo' by Gruff Rhys. The Super Furry Animals frontman's third solo album featured some typically memorable melodic vocals and a wide range of pop arrangements. Not as good as some of his previous work, perhaps, but a fine album nonetheless.
Other favourites from February were Cut Copy's 'Zonoscope', Mogwai's 'Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will', 'Yuck' by Yuck and the lovely 'Wounded Rhymes' by the excellent Swedish singer and songwriter Lykke Li. However, the less said about the Beady Eye album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding', the better.
Established artists featured heavily in March. Elbow followed up their multi-award-winning 'The Seldom Seen Kid' with 'Build A Rocket Boys!': another fine collection of songs and beautiful arrangements from the band everyone seems to like. REM released their final studio album 'Collapse Into Now' before announcing their break-up – the cynic in me trying hard not to point out that this maybe should have happened ten years ago. The Strokes showed they could still compose fine bursts of 3-minute new wave pop songs with 'Angles' and, in what has proved to be, overall, a barren year for hip-hop, we had decent releases from Lupe Fiasco ('Lasers') and Raekwon ('Shaolin Vs. Wu-Tang'), the former album containing one of my favourite singles of the year in 'Out Of My Head'.
The three months from April to June are traditionally a quieter time in for albums, but we still saw releases from some of the big hitters as the likes of Foo Fighters, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and Arctic Monkeys all hit the top of the charts.
The next album to feature in my Top 11 was released in April: 'C'Mon' by Low. This is another band who, in my opinion, continue to improve and now, nine albums in, still have the ability to move with their heartfelt songs and minimal arrangements.
Raphael Saadiq followed up his excellent Motown-influenced 'The Way I See It' with another piece of fine work, 'Stone Rollin', while Explosions In The Sky's 'Take Care, Take Care, Take Care', 'Who Kill' by Tune Yards, 'Demolished Thoughts' from Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and 'Gloss Drop' by Battles are all certainly worth a listen.
As is The Beastie Boys' 'Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2' – I recommend watching the promo video for this track, which features Will Ferrell, Elijah Wood, Seth Rogen and numerous others. This is only the band's third album in the past 15 years, but it's well worth the wait.
Bordering on the edge of my top 11 are Fleet Foxes' 'Helplessness Blues' and Bon Iver's eponymous album. The Fleet Foxes album opens with one of the best songs I think they've ever written, 'Montezuma'. Overall, though, the album left me something wanting more. Similar could be said of the Bon Iver album: tracks such as 'Holocene' and 'Towers' are fine examples of a singer and songwriter at the top of his game; however, and this may be a petty comment, the album is let down by the awful final track 'Beth/Rest'. What was going through his mind when he decided to add this to the album is anyone's guess.
Not let down by any duff tracks at all is my next choice, 'D' by White Denim, the band's best album to date, filled with numerous hooks, excellent riffs and the rare ability of having a wide range of influences crammed into 11 tracks that still sound unique to the band.
The second half of the year begins with the next entry in my Top 11, Washed Out's album 'Within And Without': a laid-back collection of vocal pop perfect for a chilled out summer.
Little Dragon continued on from a fine guest spot on the last Gorillaz album with 'Ritual Union'. The rest of July didn't give us much in the way of releases. August saw the highly anticipated collaboration of Jay-Z and Kanye West with their album 'Watch The Throne' – overall, a decent album but another leaving me wanting something more. Red Hot Chilli Peppers, however, stuck to the same formula yet again, but this time minus guitarist John Frusciante – possibly the reason they then gave us one of the weakest albums of their career.
The latter third is traditionally filled with the biggest releases of the year as record companies aim to get their albums in the Top 20 for Christmas. However, this wasn't necessarily at the cost of quality, as amongst these releases were some of the best albums of 2011.
Wild Flag's 'Wild Flag', 'Tamer Animals' by Other Lives and Gardens & Villa's eponymous album all feature in my Top 11, and were all released within a matter of weeks of each other. 'Wild Flag' was the all-female supergroup's debut album, and provided a collection of pure American indie inspired by the likes of Pavement, Sonic Youth and Pixies, while the Other Lives album, alongside Garden & Villa's debut album, recalled some of the finest work from Mercury Rev and Grandaddy – 'For 12' by Other Lives surely being a contender for track of the year.
Wilco released 'The Whole Love' – another fine album of experimental Americana-inspired songs from Jeff Tweedy and co. There were also fine albums released by Feist ('Metals'), Gauntlet Hair's eponymous album, M83's double 'Hurry Up We're Dreaming' and a welcome return by Jane's Addiction with 'The Great Escape Artist'.
Zola Jesus' latest album 'Conatus' is next in the Top 11: a superb, dreamy collection of songs with, overall, an electronic and ambient influence, topped with the singer's idiosyncratic vocals.
Tom Waits proved that he is still one of the most interesting musicians at work today with his seventeenth studio album, 'Bad As Me' – one of the most successful albums of his career. Justice followed up their excellent debut with the slightly disappointing 'Audio, Video, Disco', and I'm not sure even James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich and Lou Reed could explain what on earth was going on as Lou Reed and Metallica joined forces for 'Lulu'.
The final couple of months gave us Kate Bush's '50 Words For Snow' – yet another established artist creating some of the finest material of her career. A true innovator. It just falls outside of my top 11 – possibly due to two albums released just in time to feature in the end-of-year polls – The Black Keys' 'El Camino' is, I think, among the band's best work. With Danger Mouse helping on production duties and the band full of confidence, they sound as if they have five or six members in the group. Danger Mouse's influence expands the album's range.
Also almost creeping in was 'The Dreamer / The Believer' by Common. The US rapper has released some of my favourite albums of the last ten years, and, despite just being released in the last two weeks of the year, this looks as though it could go on to become another classic.
So that was 2011 – overall, I think, an excellent year for albums, with established artists still releasing some of their finest work alongside some debut albums from artists who promise big things for the future.
Bring on more of the same for 2012.

Manchester City – Atalanta Bergamo: Atalanta proves powerless in the face of almighty City (5-1)
October 23, 2019 Kareem Bianchi	No Comments
Manchester City were too much for a good, yet, helpless Atalanta Bergamo side, who faced the fourth evolution of the juggernaut Pep Guardiola has been molding for years. The visitors simply could not keep up and now they find themselves in a tough spot in their Champions League debut season. Zero points after three games.
Tactical analysis and match report by Kareem Bianchi.
One of the most anticipated encounters of this campaign's group stage kicked off in a scenario many did not expect. Atalanta found themselves in last place prior to the match, with a goal difference of -5. Six goals conceded in two matches to the teams Atalanta should have competed with placed Gasperini's side in a tight spot ahead of their biggest test of the season. Against Lazio, the Champions League debutants showcased the firepower they can bolster, even when not at their full strength. What was required of Atalanta to stand a chance against the almighty Manchester City was to take the final step – in addition to a flawless performance – maintaining the same high intensity over the entire ninety minutes.Eventually, this proved fruitless, since City's level was just too much for Gasperini's men, in spite of a good performance from the visitors.
Guardiola rotated David Silva for Phil Foden. Sergio Agüero rejoined the eleven after resting against Crystal Palace and Kyle Walker came in for João Cancelo at right back.
Gasperini had to make do without Duván Zapata, so Josip Iličić started in attack. Marten de Roon featured in the starting eleven after starting on the bench versus Lazio and Berat Djimsiti came in for José Palomino.
Offense makes a good defense
Initially, City built up the play in a 3-2 structure with Gündoğan and Rodri as pivots ahead of the back three composed of Walker, Fernandinho and Mendy. Atalanta did not press intensely to recover the ball immediately by pressing high, instead, they attempted to block progression through their aggressive man-marking. Ruslan Malinovskyj and Papu Gómez marked the two midfielders while Iličić stayed higher on the center-backs and the central midfielders covered out wide on the situational half-backs. Atalanta's half-backs marked the attacking midfielders Foden and Kevin De Bruyne.
City's initial 3-2 buildup shape against Atalanta's man-marking system.
In response to this, City attempted to play their way through the Atalanta defense by combining around their markers, drawing them out of position and finding the third man in space. Similarly, Atalanta tried to catch their opponents by surprise through runs in behind the defense. The main targets were the wing-backs, although Iličić also received in the box – without being able to take the ball under his stride, however – by following the same pattern.
Another strategy from City consisted of pinning the wing-backs with the wingers' positioning, blocking the wide defenders from stepping out on the City fullbacks. Atalanta's defense reacted by asking the half-backs to press Walker and Mendy, but the timing was not always optimal, which gave the fullbacks time to play through the press.
City switch it up
Around the twentieth minute, Rodri stopped joining Gündoğan in midfield and a 4-2 shape formed. One of De Bruyne and Foden dropped in support ahead of the back four, followed by the opposing half-backs. Meanwhile, Gómez and Iličić both pressed the center-backs.
City's 4-2 shape after Guardiola pushed Rodri into defense.
In possession, Atalanta, from their nominal 3-4-3 formation, saw Gómez drop on the left wing and in the halfspace If you divide the field in five vertical lanes, the halfspaces are the lanes that are not on the wing and not in the center. Because there is no touchline like on the wing, players have the freedom to go everywhere. But this zone often is not as well-defended as the very center. This makes it a very valuable offensive zone to play in and a lot of chances are created by passes or dribbles from the halfspace. to organize the offensive play. Iličić did the same on the left, supporting a buildup that otherwise would have struggled to withstand City's press. By providing an option behind the first line, though, Atalanta could initially draw the hosts deep to then cut through. Even so, Atalanta's opportunities in possession mainly came through counterattacks, since City controlled most of the ball and pinned the visitors back, limiting their offensive solutions.
Only when Atalanta were able to bypass the midfield immediately after recovering possession by finding Iličić between the lines did they not fall prey to City's counterpressing. After losing possession, a team immediately moves towards the ball as a unit to regain possession, or at least slow down the pace of the counterattack. But as aforementioned, this scenario was rather rare.
It was Atalanta that had the first laugh though, and, despite City's bombarding, the visitors took the lead through a penalty. One of the few successful counterattacks of the match led to a one-versus-one between Iličić and Fernandinho just inside the box, during which the Brazilian was forced to foul his opponent. Moments later, one-nil to Atalanta.
City restored the scoreline to a draw almost immediately and, a few minutes after, Andrea Masiello conceded a penalty that Agüero calmly slotted in the back of the net. Atalanta's defensive castle started crumbling as a result of their inability to react quickly enough to Guardiola's men's quick passing and movement.
Too slick, too good
Gasperini subbed on Luis Muriel for Papu Gómez. Since the Argentine was not at his best, the manager probably hoped for more efficient use of the space available behind City's defensive line. Throughout the first half, Atalanta had often managed to get in behind on Gómez's side, but the captain had not always made the correct decisions with the ball. Masiello, already on a yellow card and responsible for a penalty, also came off and was replaced by Pašalić. Therefore, Marten de Roon slotted at center-back while the Croatian played in midfield.
Atalanta started off the half well, finding space on the right flank by attracting Mendy inside the field with Malinovskyj and and freeing Iličić out wide.
However, Atalanta's positive start did not last long, and it was City who hit first in the second half, with Sterling; after yet another aggressive stepping out from a center-back did not meet an opponent, exposing the space behind him. Then came City's fourth goal, once again via Sterling, that put the game to bed once and for all. Although Atalanta did not give up, as a disallowed goal shortly after City's fourth shows, the goal margin was too much for any hopes of a comeback and the game just turned into an utter annihilation since City kept on scoring. Goal after goal. Five was the last straw.
Manchester City proved too good for Atalanta. The visitors put up a good fight, especially when most teams would have crumbled even further. After the fifth goal, Gasperini's men kept reciting their tactical ideas. They looked completely unaware of the context around them, simply following the manager's instructions until the final whistle. Even City's chances kept coming as a result of Atalanta's will to continue carrying out their game plan, they did not give up.
The main problem arose in defense, as their inability to prevent City from breaking through their man-marking schemes pushed them deeper and deeper, similarly to the second half observed in Rome against Lazio last weekend. Consequently, Atalanta was unable to counter, as their low block A low block refers to a team that retreats deep in their own half out of possession, generally only disrupting their opponents around their own box. made it easier for City to counterpress the ball.
The hosts, on the other hand, gave a masterclass on how to disrupt man-marking defensive system. Quick passing to move the opponents and runs into the vacated space. This is how Guardiola's City obliterated a very good Atalanta side.

The AM frequency range is from 530 to 1710 khz. My Junior High and High School computer (Relaxen und watchen das blinkenlights. What lights?) had a 1.5 µsecond cycle time, or 660 Khz which is right in the middle of the AM band.
Because the PDP-8 had only one general register, called the accumulator, and had only one thread of execution, it was easy to write programs to flash the accumulator at various frequencies that could directly generate tones on an AM Radio. Because sound waves can pass through each other and continue on (wave superposition), making the computer play two notes at once was just trigonometry.
You can get fancy and add controls for the relative amplitudes of the waves.
Can this code be run as a program? When I try, it gives an unrecognized command verb error on " ADD OBJECT spn as spinner WITH left=130,;"

Hello and welcome to September's stamp of the month blog hop! This month's stamp set is Family is Forever - a beautiful set of 7 stamps perfect for proclaiming your love of family and more. If you've arrived here from the fabulous Katy Taylor's blog, or if you are just starting out, you are in the right place. Just hop around the circle until you end up right where you started.
My project for today is a scrapbook page. It turned out so well, I plan to order the Designed Decor Shadow Box in Colonial White so it can be displayed all the time.
I will note that this is not the exact photo I'll be using (I need to print an extra copy of that one), but it's from the same day and has all the same colors so I know it will look great!
I used papers from the Pathfinding paper pack, which as you can see here does not have to be just for Fall. I don't have any Glacier cardstock yet, so I used Crystal Blue, which I think also looks pretty good. The layout is based on a sketch from Make It From Your Heart Volume 1.
This gorgeous tree is obviously the focal stamp of this set. It looks great in a single color as well, but it didn't take me long to stamp this in the three different colors and fussy cut the parts. The key is to cut those leaves in groups - no need to cut every tiny piece individually! You can also see in this photo that I sponged coordinating inks on the edges of all of my papers - I absolutely love the look it gives my projects.
I love a stamp set with a built-in layout title - not much thinking required on my part! I offset it from the center of the panel slightly to leave room for some awesome sequins. I cut the two hearts with the Artiste Cricut cartridge and stamped them in Barn Red. I colored in the leaves with a Copic marker. (If you haven't invested in those pricey things yet, the Shinhan markers we carry now are the same type of art marker at a lower price point.) I popped the hearts up on 3-D Foam Tape (as well as the hearts in the tree above) for a little added dimension.
If you want details on any of the products I used, or if you're ready to shop, you can use my picture list below. The links open in a new window so you can continue the hop right here when you're done. If you're ready to check out more awesome projects, let's head over to Brae Montgomery's blog and see what she made for us this month.
Love the pop of the orange photo mat!
That's a LOT of work on that tree but it's so worth it...makes the layout!
nice page, love the heart stamp!
Wow, a lot of cutting on that tree!


Bayliss was our hospital cat after Shelah passed on. She was with us for a shorter period of time, she still touched our hearts just as greatly. Unfortunately, Bayliss was diagnosed with Lymphobalstic Lymphoma - a very aggressive cancer in April of 2011 and lost her fight with cancer July 12 2011. We would like to thank Oncologist Dr. Kai Shiu and Kelly CVT at the VES for their help in caring for our sassy kitty. She will live on in our hearts. We miss her talking to us around the clinic.


Comeback sauce is a dipping sauce for fried foods or as a salad dressing in the cuisine of central Mississippi. Similar to Louisiana remoulade, the base of the sauce consists of mayonnaise and chili sauce (or some approximation of that combination). The origin has been credited to The Rotisserie, a Greek restaurant that was located in Jackson, Mississippi.
Several Jackson, Mississippi, restaurants serve their own variations of the sauce and many offer bottled comeback sauce.

Drink your Costa Rican coffee!
Coffee is emerging as the miracle product, especially if you are a mouse. The Costa Rica cash crop has been getting plaudits for years from medical researchers.
The most recent report says that the combined effect of caffeine and exercise may protect against skin cancer caused by sun exposure.
The Rutgers University study said that mice at high risk for developing skin cancer showed 62 percent fewer skin tumors when they were fed doses of caffeine, according to the American Association for Cancer Research, which is ending its annual meeting in Chicago, Illinois, today.
"I believe we may extrapolate these findings to humans and anticipate that we would benefit from these combination treatments as well," said Yao-Ping Lu, the principal researcher at the New Jersey University's pharmacy school.
Last year, researchers at the same university suggested that a sun screen containing caffeine might ward off dangerous rays.
Also last year a report in the, 'Äö"The Journal of Physical Chemistry B of the American Chemical Society," said that caffeine seems to protect against Alzheimer's and heart disease. The report was based on the consumption of coffee and tea.
The society's Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry reported in 2010 that drinking coffee may cut the risk of Type Two diabetes, at least in mice.
A 2009 Indiana University found that caffeine can reduce exercise-induced asthma.
Other medical studies in 2007 report a reduced risk of liver.
Scientists say that coffee has far more antioxidants than many vegetables and fruits, according to a Harvard School of Public Health study. Drinking coffee also reduces body weight, according to another study.
In most cases, the studies were conducted on varieties of mice, but scientists believe that the results are applicable to humans. The uterine cancer study was based on a 26-year study of women, but the researchers noted that the coffee drinkers were not randomly selected and randomly assigned to test groups.
Costa Rica exports some 200,000 tons of coffee a year, and the coffee grown here is believed to be higher in caffeine than crops elsewhere. Coffee is the country's third largest export.

The Bundesrepublik of Dovracshivengen is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by President Ólafur Guðmundsson with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 785 million Dovracshiven have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ruttendolfteinberg. The average income tax rate is 25.7%.
The all-consuming Dovracshivenig economy, worth 83.6 trillion Dovracshivenig Krugers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 106,522 Dovracshivenig Krugers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
A referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, foreign governments are looking into weaponizing the infamous Dovracshivenig bee, police conduct weekly raids looking for contraband cheeseburgers, and candidates for public office painstakingly research their family trees to ensure their eligibility. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dovracshivengen's national animal is the Alpine Two-Tailed King Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Dovracshivengen is ranked 31,079th in the world and 1,696th in The North Pacific for Most Inclusive, scoring 119.46 on the Mandela-Wollstonecraft Non-Discrimination Index.

When we talk of job safety analysis we refer to a technique that is used to focus on job tasks so as to identify hazards before they happen. When you use job safety analysis you will be able to identify some different hazards that may arise in the future enabling you to prevent them since they will be a threat to your business. You have to make sure that you choose the best job safety analysis method that will enable you to address the task. Therefore, the discussion below is on the benefits associated with job safety analysis.
One of the benefits associated with job safety analysis is that it improves the communication between the workers and supervisors. When there is good communication between the employees and the supervisor this will always result to an increase in the output of the business. In job safety analysis the supervisors will create the job safety analysis where they will give the different employees and new supervisors to give their comments. Through this you will find the supervisors will be able to know what the different employees are saying and this will improve the communication between the two parties making an increase in the total output.
The other benefit associated with job safety analysis is that it prevents hazardous conditions. There are those hazards that are always very difficult to detect but with the help of the job safety analysis one will be able to identify any hazard that might be present. A job safety analysis will not help you identify a hazard and also help you to find some solution. When you are experienced, during the process of job safety analyzing, you will be able to identify a hazard that is a threat to the business which will push you to try different strategies of addressing the problem of which this will be helpful to the business.
The other reason why job safety analysis is important is that it helps create a teaching aid. It is true that job safety analysis will always serve as a job training and also guide an individual in different jobs. Research has been done and ways of handling different tasks in business have been provided. You will find those people that are being hired to new business will always use the guide that has been created by the job safety analysis.
Finally, the other way through which job safety analysis is important is because it has enabled different businesses to meet safety standards. When the different people working in your business are safe it means that you have met the different safety standards. When you meet different safety standards through the job safety analyzing it means that you will have protected your business from legal penalties.


Hello Monday…wasn't quite expecting you so soon.
Rob was grousing about A2 not having any decent Moroccan restaurants in it so I said to myself, "How hard can it be to cook Moroccan? I'm a decent cook, I bet I could do it." SO I set off to gather me some recipes. My one hindrance being that I know jack about Moroccan food but I didn't let that stop me. I found a bunch of tasty looking recipes, printed them off and planned some eats. My first recipe comes from Epicurious and was the most interesting looking of the lot.
This nice calming water scene is for me and my heart attack which turned out to be fridge moving strain.
Chocolate sandwich cookies at the review today.
TheMan and I took the day off today on account of the Qs being in town. We did not go Oop Nord this past Christmas because DadQ was recuperating from knee surgery and the logistics soon became quite entangled. So the Qs decided to come down in early February instead…except it snowed the snow of the apocalypse (ish) so they did not. this week there was no snomageddon so down they came.
Happy Valentine's Day, have an octopus.
Because I seem to be ALL KITTENS ALL THE TIME, here is a pic of VandeCat doing what she does best. Napping.
Poooooost…tongue of the cat? OooKay then.
Did I forget to put a title here?
This weekend was a pretty good weekend overall. Even Vande and Tycho got along. Sorta.
The giant 73 feet of snow did not happen as predicted but we did get some. The zombies were all excited though about the forecasts and the end of the world and OH NO so there was no stopping them when they took to the outside. They weren't the first things out there however…something had trekked through the steps earlier.
Short bread goodness at the review today.
As I promised…somewhere last year…I got the Chupacabra out to see if it saw its shadow today.

If you own a business and you plan to leave it to one of your children when you die, be aware that taking out a business loan or line of credit could affect your estate plan.
The reason: Many wills that provide that a child will inherit business assets don't specify whether the child will inherit the assets subject to any debts, or whether the child will inherit the assets free and clear and any debts must be paid off by the other heirs.
In the past, unless the will was clear, the assumption was that the other heirs had to pay off any loans. But recently many states have changed their laws, and now say that the child who inherits the business also inherits the debt. You can change these assumptions if you want, but you have to be very specific about it in your will.
In any event, it's wise to consider the effect of business loans on your estate plan, and make sure your will specifies exactly how you want your property to be divided.

The front seats are right behind the train driver!
The best seat you can get is at the very front, right behind the train driver. There, you can see the view of the lush trees and plants alongside the tracks of the Enoden train line as well as the tranquil seashore of the Shonan beaches! I rode on this train recently to go from Kamakura to Enoshima and the view from the front seat of the Enoden was absolutely breathtaking.
