Nabisco Ritz Bits Kickin’ Cheddar & Awkward Tuesdays: Burping in Public

Junk Food Nation, let’s talk about an awkward epidemic that is plaguing our nation.  No I’m not talking about jeggings; I’m talking about people who burp in public.  What. The. Hell.  Look, I understand that everyone needs to burp once in a while – hell, I relish it.  But it always seems like there is no gracious, polite, not awkward way to do this.  You always end up looking like a complete weirdo.  Here are the typical methods:

1) Just let’er rip. You’ve seen these people. You could be at a bar or a bar mitzvah – these people just think, “Hey, I got gas, and I’m going to make it as loud as possible.” BLAAAAUCh!!!!!!!!!!!!! is usually how it sounds.  They usually make some statement like, “Better out than in,” afterwards.  How ’bout you’re disgusting. I reserve the right to call you out for being disgusting.

More after the the jump. Today’s junk food: Nabisco Ritz Bits Kickin’ Cheddar!

The Money Shot

I feel like I remember when Ritz Bits were released, being a kid and thinking, “Well, what’s the point of this? Tiny Ritz crackers? I mean sure they’re cute and all, but Ritz crackers aren’t THAT hard to eat. Seems like a waste.”

And then Ritz Bits sandwiches came out, with two tiny crackers sandwiched around a morsel of processed cheese.  I remember THEN thinking, “Ooooh, Ritz – now I see what you’re getting at.  Tricky devil, you.”

After years of consuming Ritz Bits sandwiches with peanut butter and with processed cheddar, I was eager to try this Kickin’ Cheddar variation.

The fact that everything on the box has a Spanish translation I guess makes sense, as these are presumably marketed in areas where there are high Latino/Latina populations.  Still, is this necessary? They’re Ritz Bits sandwiches, not instructions to a shuttle launch… I feel like a Martian could just look at the box and know what these are.

Who doesn't love a spicy kick?

Cheddar cheese flavored with a mild spicy kick.  Gotta love it – this isn’t jalapeno cheddar, chipotle cheddar, pepperjack – nope, it’s just cheese FLAVORED WITH  a spicy kick.  Nabisco’s not mincing words in explaining how artificial the filling is, nosiree.  Artificial filling that is naturally flavored… yum.

I miss games on the backs of boxes

Ah, the classic game on the back of the box. You know, not many companies do this anymore. I was looking on the back of a cereal box recently and on it was a trailer for Terra Nova. I swear.

I’ve been reading that slug line, “Playtime or Snacktime Ritz Bits Fits” over and over again, and I still don’t know what that means.

Tiny sandwiches

The Ritz Bits sandwiches look typical – buttery golden Ritz, in its tiny version, with a little bit of processed cheese inside. The box clearly didn’t protect the crackers very much – there were broken sandwiches all over the place.  Ghetto, Nabisco.

Like a savory Oreo

Buttery cracker

Still these Ritz Bits sandwiches were nicely constructed when they weren’t broken.  A perfect bite size. Nice round shape, not too much filling, not too little.

MMMM processed cheese residue!

I took a bite, and enjoyed the taste – basically, the cheese inside, with the “spicy kick” added, tasted just like that artificial spicy molten cheese that you get on nachos at sporting events…which, by the way, I could drink by the bucket.  Add that to a crispy Ritz, and you have a winner.

Like many other snacks, the taste of these Ritz Bits sandwiches didn’t hit me with a huge WOW factor – but they were very eatable, and before I knew it I’d eaten like thirty of these.  Sign of a good snack, no?  I think so.  If you like processed cheese (who doesn’t) you’ll like these.

More on public burping:

2) The Burp and Blow.  If you’re in high school, or friends with a complete jerk, this is a common occurrence.  The premise is simple – some jackass burps and fills his mouth with heinousness and then proceeds to blow it in your face.  Effing gross.  Let me say this: if you do this to me, I will take my open hand and swat you in the face.

3) The Fist Coverup. This is a popular one amongst older people – when they feel a burp coming on, these people will inflate their cheeks and puff their face out while burping into their mouth, then turn to the side, put their fist up to their mouth, and exhale everything onto their fist.  Newsflash: THIS DOES NOTHING. Who are you fooling??? The answer is no one.  Sure, it shows you’re making an effort to be polite…but you look ridiculous and I can still smell it, jerk.

4) The Bull. I’ve been guilty of this one.  You burp, hold it in your mouth, and then exhale it through your nose.  Yep, I’ve done this one.  It burns your nostrils, especially if the soda or beer you’re drinking is extremely carbonated.  One the flip side, your sinuses are always clear.

What other awkward public burping displays have you encountered?  Comment below, or hit me up on Twitter @junkfoodguy!

    Oh, goodness, excuse me!

  2. Shorneys says:

    What’s up with the diagonal scoring on the box? It looks like both the front and back of the box could be folded along those diagonal lines, thus creating some Ritz Bitz-filled tetrahedron. What of it?

  3. RTK says:

    Easy pour, duh

  4. Rodzilla says:

    I’m partial to the bull technique myself. The burp and blow deserves a punch to the mouth.

    I’ve always leaned towards the PB varieties, now I’m hankering for the cheese. Ritz crackers are so damned delicious they could have so many more varieties.

Hello, my name is***** would mean the instrument cluster/gauge assembly is failing. You can disconnect battery and touch cables together for 10 seconds with battery disconnected and sometimes this will reset the cluster. If that doesn't help it will need to be replaced. This is about a $400 job at dealership, your other option is to buy a used cluster with similiar mileage and install yourself, this would cost around $100. Let me know if you have more questions or would like replacement instructions. Thanks.

I am starting an internet-based hospitality exchange network.

This answer was rated:

I am starting an internet-based hospitality exchange network. Members will be charged a low fee for each night they stay at a fellow member's home. I am trying to decide how to structure the payment of that fee. I am considering two different ways: 1)The guests make all reservations through me and make payment of fees through me. (Would I be considered a travel agent and therefore need a license?)or 2)Guests make reservations and pay directly with host. (Would the host be legally considered a B&B if they accepted money for lodging? Could they get around that by calling it a "gratuity" to cover costs of breakfast etc?

Idaho law does not license travel agents. However, other states do. This is where you run into a logjam, because in each jurisdiction where you market your services, there are different licensing regulations -- which means that you could be subject to the laws of every U.S. jurisdiction where you do business.

This is a big job, though not impossible, because there are companies that do it (Travelocity, Orbitz, etc.).

That said, you may want to consider setting up your system to permit the sellers and buyers to use the system, while you simply charge for the use of the venue itself.

This is allegedly, the system used by this website, eBay, and other such "venues."

Hope this helps.

You further separately declare that any payment made by you is not consideration for this contract, nor offered for any services rendered by me on your behalf, but rather is made in genuine admiration and respect for my desire to help others. If you do not agree with these terms and conditions, then you must advise me immediately.

Customer: replied 7 years ago.
Ok, so I gather from your reply that I could be considered a travel agent by some jurisdictions and therefore should either look into a service that can do that, or choose a different way of operating as you suggested.
Do you know the answer to the other part of my question though, regarding whether a host would be considered a B&B by accepting $ for an overnight stay or if that could be avoided by calling it a gratuity?

Hotel and Transient laws also differ by jurisdiction. Moreover, local county and municipal zoning regulations may impact the B&B's operating rights.

In general, a B&B needs to obtain a hotel business license to avoid being treated as a residential dwelling unit.

Calling the payments gratuitous suggests that something is donated without expecation of any return obligation. This would mean that no one is required to provide room and board. I don't think that a customer would be much interested in paying for the mere possibility of a B&B stay.

DSM and Ravago partnership introduces portfolio of recycled PA compounds

Royal DSM, the global Life Sciences and Materials Sciences company, has announced that it has expanded its partnership with the Ravago Group, a leader in distribution, resale, compounding and recycling of plastic and elastomeric raw materials. The two companies have combined DSM's expertise in polyamide 6 with Ravago's recycling know-how to develop a portfolio of glass reinforced recycled PA6 compounds. The materials will be offered by DSM directly and distributed by Ravago Group member Resinex, which has a leading position in the plastics and rubbers distribution market across Europe and Turkey, and which is already a well-established distributor of DSM engineering plastics.

The new recycled PA6 grades, which DSM is marketing under its Akulon brand and which are available now, contain more than 50% post-consumer resin from well-identified and dependable sources. DSM is supplying grades with 30% and 35% glass fiber reinforcement. Thanks to their inherent strength and performance profile, the grades are particularly suited to automotive under-the-bonnet applications such as air intake manifolds and engine covers, as well as furniture applications, including structural parts in office chairs.

Speaking on behalf of DSM, Danilo Fioravante, Global Business Director Akulon says: "As one of the world's premier performance materials suppliers with a strong emphasis on sustainability, it is important that we take a lead in reducing, reusing and recycling the products that society consumes. It is for this reason that we are looking to expand our portfolio with recycled polyamide compounds. These new grades will enable us to offer new solutions to some of the key industries that we have been serving for many years.

Alessio Patanè, Product Manager Engineering Plastics at Ravago, says: "This new development gives us the opportunity to build on our long-standing partnership with DSM while profiting from our many years of experience in working with recycled materials. All across our partnerships with leading materials suppliers, we fully underwrite the efforts to bring to market materials that deliver outstanding performance in combination with a significant contribution to the reduction of the overall carbon footprint.

Lbk developer loan request leads politicians to finger pointing - KCBD NewsChannel 11 Lubbock

Lubbock developer loan request leads politicians to finger pointing

By James Clark | email

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – A Lubbock developer's request for a line of credit led elected officials to accuse each other of lying and leaving people out of important decisions.  The McDougal Companies agreed in 2006 to oversee a master plan development in Irving.  Recently, the Lubbock company requested a $2 million line of credit from the City, which did pass Thursday night but not without some controversy.  While Delbert McDougal has been in the hot seat more than once, this time it seemed to be the Irving City Council in the public spotlight, with Council members trading allegations back & forth.

Meanwhile, a March 3rd article in the Dallas Morning News says McDougal has been at risk of default on $24 million of loans related to the Heritage Crossing revitalization project.  "That's not true," says Marc McDougal, who heads the real estate division of the company.  He says the Dallas Morning News relied upon statements from an outgoing council member who plans to challenge the Irving Mayor next year.  "Things are going well," says Marc McDougal.

He says there was a snag in the financing when a bank wanted to raise interest rates on a potential $13 million loan.  But McDougal says the company and the city found a way around that issue by having the city finance the $13 million instead of the bank.  McDougal also says it's the city, not the company, that's ultimately on the hook for the loans.

There is some Lubbock money in the project.  $2.65 million is backed by a loan from Vista Bank of Lubbock.

constituent thoughts: Syria, Putin, US

microphone2 I have a lot of constituents that send me e-mails with their thoughts on a variety of subjects. Here’s some interesting thoughts:

When Putin makes more sense than our own government does, you know we’re in trouble. And while the youth of today may not remember the USSR of old, nor grown up in that world, those of us in our 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond did recall the threat of the corrupt and control-crazy Russian Government pillage of the Russian people.

Syria is not witnessing a battle for democracy, but an armed conflict between government and opposition in a multireligious country. There are few champions of democracy in Syria. But there are more than enough Qaeda fighters and extremists of all stripes battling the government. The United States State Department has designated Al Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, fighting with the opposition, as terrorist organizations. This internal conflict, fueled by foreign weapons supplied to the opposition, is one of the bloodiest in the world.

Yeah, and who’s been supplying those weapons? Might the CIA be involved in that? I suspect the answer is “Yes”, and that part of the reason that Benghazi is still being covered up a year after the disaster there has to do with exactly what we were providing to whom and what got loose.
No one doubts that poison gas was used in Syria. But there is every reason to believe it was used not by the Syrian Army, but by opposition forces, to provoke intervention by their powerful foreign patrons, who would be siding with the fundamentalists. Exactly my point.

That one guy is bad doesn’t mean the other guy is good. Sometimes all the people involved are jackasses — and when your enemies are busy doing each other harm the best course of action is to stand back and let them have at it without assistance or interference.

But the true outrage is not just found here, in the words of President Putin. It is found in the violence done every single day to Americans right here, at home, by our own governments. The outrageous brutality is a daily feature these days — and yet nobody goes to jail for it.

Nor is the brutality limited to physical force. Jefferson County Alabama residents were brutalized by an outrageously-overzealous government that crammed down their throats an admitted badly-needed sewer upgrade. Then the banksters, protected by that very same government, stepped in and in concert with some crooked municipal officials financially shanked the residents out of billions of dollars. When caught, some of the crooked municipal officials went to prison but the financial gang-rape of citizens continues to this day with sewer bills that will never return to their former levels. The banksters involved were not prosecuted nor did anyone from that side of the desk face any sort of punishment. Remember Eric Holder said that he “….found no wrong doing or crimes to prosecute….”

Our state and local governments have willingly participated in the financial beatdown of the citizens through the destruction of real estate land title systems — a protection that pre-dates the Republic. These were brutalized by those very same banksters who have been written about since THEIR OWN TESTIMONY IN 2007.
Has anyone gone to jail? Nope. Yet the financial theft is not only directed at your house it’s also directed at your pension fund and personal, daily life in that 80% of your purchasing power has been destroyed through fraudulent credit emission since 1980! The FED calls it Quantitative Easing – but it is COUNTERFEITING by any name. Wake up America. While you still can.

Natural Treatment for Low GFR in Diabetic Nephropathy

2014-10-31 11:26

Is low GFR showed on your test report? Diabetic Nephropathy is a common complication of diabetes and it has been a common cause for kidney failure requiring dialysis and kidney transplant in the near future. What is more, patients with kidney failure caused by Diabetic Nephropathy usually begin dialysis treatment earlier than those kidney failure patients caused by other conditions. While increasing GFR level becomes the only way to avoid dialysis treatment. Then what is the natural treatment for low GFR level?

In Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, various Chinese medicine therapies are used to treat kidney diseases by repairing kidney damage and recovering renal function. How much do you know about Chinese medicine therapies? They can include many types such as Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, foot bath, medicated bath, oral Chinese herbal medicine, enema therapy, acupuncture, etc. Each one has its own operation method. But one common function they can play is to expand blood vessels and improve blood circulation, which is expected to relieve many symptoms including protein in urine, fatigue, itching skin, swelling, poor appetite, etc.

Then what functions can help treat low GFR for Diabetic Nephropathy? Well, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can play more functions such as anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, degradation, removing blood stasis, improving blood circulation, promoting DNA replication of damaged kidney inherent cells and offering kidneys nutrients to gradually repair kidney damage and increase GFR level.

Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is applied externally, patients just need to lie on the bed to take it. Osmosis device will help active materials of Chinese herbal medicines put into two bags which are put under lower back of patients directly get to kidneys through permeating into skin. This feeling is described as doing Chinese massage, very comfortable.

Probable Cause in DWI Cases

Apr 29, 2017 by

One of the essential components in a DWI study is probable cause. That is a protocol that law enforcers have to follow when detaining an individual for DUI (DWI) which includes probable-cause. The Law Offices of Richard A Portale, P.C. says on its website that probable cause is the practical perception that a crime had been in the act of being perpetrated. It’s different from sensible suspicion, which is enough to justify the original stop but maybe not enough for DWI charges unless there’s evidence the driver may be drunk, for example, the odor of alcoholic beverage or an open can of beer on the dash.

It is a key differentiation from a defense standpoint. A law enforcer could be distrustful of unusual driving behavior, and may then draw the car over. However, that’s not probable cause. A traffic infraction may be committed by a driver for reasons other than DUI. The driver may have been distracted which caused the vehicle to drift across lanes, or might have already been in a hurry which would account for tailgating or racing. In Texas, officers who have probable cause to search an automobile or to draw blood for screening without a warrant under specific circumstances are allowed by DUI laws, and the arrest may stand. This is mostly true throughout what’s known as a “no refusal” period, where anyone who will not submit a blood test may be arrested.

Nevertheless, arresting a driver for DWI without probable-cause may function as the foundation for having the case terminated and any subsequent evidence obtained suppressed including breathing tests or blood.

It is important to contact a DWI attorney in the region instantaneously when detained for DWI when there is absolutely no probable cause. It may imply the difference between a judgment of dismissal and certainty. It’s vital that you just beat in making sure your protection is solid as the punishments for a DWI conviction are unbelievably severe. It might be beyond a shame to end up jailed for a crime you didn’t perpetrate – a beer you didn’t consume.

How to give your child boundaries while helping them thrive
By Dr Justin Coulson | January 24, 2014
Boundaries thriving

Remember when you were young and your parents had all of those rules you had to stick to? If you were like me, you probably told your parents: “When I’m a parent, I’m not going to make my kids have all those rules you make us have”.

Yet here we are, as parents, trying to create boundaries and limits for our children. Why? We know they need them – for safety, health, for success in life and for their general wellbeing.

Boundaries create freedom

Boundaries create predictability and security for children. They help children stay safe and thrive. While they are staying within the boundaries they have great freedom. When they step outside those boundaries, bad things can happen to them that can impact on their freedom – often without us intervening.

As an example, imagine that one morning your four-year-old child decided to play on the road and was hit by a car. While he played within the sensible boundaries you set (to stay off the road), he was free to play. Going beyond wise boundaries ultimately impacted negatively on his freedom.

When combined with warmth and love, boundaries are a critical element in raising happy, responsible children.

Five steps to creating boundaries with children

Recent studies have identified that the most effective ways to establish boundaries with children are based on parents providing autonomy support to children. The focus of autonomy supportive parenting is that we guide our children through discussion, provide encouragement and support to help them successfully navigate their challenges and give them freedom to make choices for themselves. We do this within parameters that we set for them as wise, caring parents.

We do this best by following a process that looks like this:

1. Cocooning

Cocooning is a somewhat controlling approach to parenting. It works best when children are young. Cocooning consists of sheltering your child from outside influences in an attempt to avoid exposure. Examples of cocooning might be keeping your child away from the road when bike riding, forbidding a certain television show or not allowing your child to hang out with certain friends.

2. Reasoned cocooning

This approach to setting boundaries is similar to cocooning, but it adds a layer of explanation. As our children become more cognitively advanced, (or when they start asking “why?”), we provide reasons for our protective boundary setting.

3. Pre-arming

This involves providing your child with information ahead of what they might encounter and often includes discussions with children about what they should do in particular situations. It allows us to proactively set boundaries, knowing the challenges and threats they will face in coming weeks, months or years.

As an example, if we are taking the kids to the beach, we talk to them about the importance of sunscreen, swimming in the flag area and staying nearby. We tell them why which pre-arms them with the information they need to be safe in a complex and potentially dangerous environment.

4. Reasoned deference

As our children get older, they typically respond poorly to cocooning. They want autonomy. If we’ve pre-armed them, we might talk through situations with them and then defer to them to make their own informed decisions, based on the boundaries and limits we’ve talked about. We start to show trust in our children and encourage them to make wise decisions that will enhance their freedom (by counter-intuitively staying within the boundaries).

5. Deference

Deference occurs when we actively allow our children to make their own decisions.

In defence of boundaries

Some parents feel that to put boundaries on their children stymies their growth. Yet research shows that laissez-faire and permissive parenting (or parenting without boundaries and limits) leads to children who lack self-discipline, can often have poor social skills, are often highly demanding and lack self-worth because of a lack of boundaries and guidance. Children raised without boundaries are more likely to experiment with alcohol, drugs and sex, and not do as well at school or in work.

To raise happy children, we need to give them boundaries – but the way we do it makes a difference. By working with them to support their autonomy, we seem to create limits that we feel good about and that our kids understand and stick to.

Mexico City veterinarian using NDV serum to fight distemper

We are always glad to hear about more vets picking up the NDV treatments, but I was especially gladden to read this email from Dr. Enrique Quiroz of Mexico City”

“We are Servican DF in Mexico City; we’ve had the opportunity of contacting you in the past. I’m glad to get in touch with you again.
“I’m very proud to say that we’ve been having great success since we’ve been implementing Dr. Sears’ serum beginning 2012, with around 40 cases, of which some of them we have documented on film so you can watch them and perhaps upload to your webpage.
“Since I no longer have my office, I’m basically working at my home or the dog owner’s. This has worked wonders for our purposes, because the treatment is better received by the animals when they’re at their home and we can avoid having cases of immunosuppression.
“For all cases we have solved, we’ve made viral tests by immunofluorescence from blood so we are certain that we are fighting a viral disease like distemper, and we discard any other cases.
“We are very interested in being a reference for people who contact to you from in Mexico City, so please, if you consider appropriate, it would be kind of you if you could mention our info on your webpage so we can continue spreading the good news about your effective treatment for distemper and help so many dogs in our city.”

Port Angeles residents fed up with heroin problem

PORT ANGELES, Wash. – Makiah Sperry, 17, started crying after she and her friends found the third dirty heroin needle near the trail along the popular Hollywood Beach.

It's not the needle that affected Sperry -- she's found nearly 100 of them since she and other teenagers started scouring parks and playgrounds for heroin's dirty evidence earlier this year – it's the personal story.

Sperry started volunteering for the group, Hope for Heroin, after her ex-boyfriend got addicted and was sent to jail.

"Going through that was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do," said Sperry, holding a bag full of trash and a water bottle full of dirty needles, needle caps and foil, used to heat up the heroin.

Meanwhile, another community group organized a protest along the main drag in Port Angeles to raise awareness about the city's heroin problem.

They shouted and screamed as cars honked.

The families lining the street want clean playgrounds and safe neighborhoods.

They say there is an influx of petty crime and car break-ins.

"I'm tired of it," said Shelly Bradshaw. "We're too small of a town to have this big of a problem."

For the past two years, he has been driving a taxi, which is the only source of income for the family. He needs more support to cover the family's needs and costs.

Hisham is requesting a $1,000 USD loan from FATEN to help him cover the costs of repairing the taxi, such as painting, and changing the engine and wheels. This will increase the taxi's capacity to travel from one place to another and enable Hisham to work extra hours and take more internal requests, which will help to improve the family's income.

“Another Self Portrait (1969-1971)”- Bob Dylan

Self Portrait, which Another Self Portrait the now 10th entry in the revelatory Bob Dylan Bootleg Series canonizes, could be considered the rock laureate’s first full swing and a miss. The run-up to his 1966 motorcycle accident was thoroughly unimpeachable from the folk/rock split of Bringing It All Back Home to the electric sea change of Highway 61 Revisited and finally cresting on the sublimely surreal Blonde on Blonde. No matter where the pied-piper of rock trod, an entire generation followed. When he went to sidelines after the crash, everyone waited for the timeout to be over. The inauspicious return record John Wesley Harding in late 1967 met the same feverish intensity. He pared down his lyrics, but the crowds remained. The country croon he adapted for follow-up Nashville Skyline presented a clear attempt to trim the fat; however glowing reviews by Rolling Stone prevented any weight loss. The “voice of a generation” moniker weighed on Dylan and the man himself noted, “that notion needed to be pulled up by its roots.”

Even provided that warning, few could have predicted how far Dylan would burrow to sever the roots. When Self Portrait sprouted in June 1970, Greil Marcus infamously asked “what is this shit?” in his Rolling Stone review. Traditional folk tunes elbowed  schmaltzy pop-rock. Live cuts nestled alongside studio outtakes, sequencing be damned. The tossed-off “The Boxer” cover was so tongue-in-cheek Dylan’s puffy face could be seen from miles away. The country croon of Nashville Skyline grew tenderer.  When his voice was at its softest the cries of “foul” would grow the loudest.

Released four months later, New Morning fared demonstrably better, receiving the label of “his best album since…” an honor now bestowed to any marginally successful album post-Blood on the Tracks. He slid back into the nasal tone and critics rested their weary heads on a bed of familiarity. However, New Morning shares rent with the critic-baiting hodgepodge of Self Portrait. There were songs like “Winterlude” featuring choruses of “winterlude, this dude thinks your fine.” The tongue was still firmly in cheek.

The true beauty of the Bootleg Series is the opportunity it affords for re-evaluation of the Dylan discography and no period more desperately needed a new dissection than 1969-1971. Disc 1 opener “Went to See the Gypsy” (Demo Version) at first scans as a turgid recounting of Dylan’s meeting of Elvis Presley. However, lines preoccupied by pretty girls dancing in lobbies shouting to “go see the gypsy” assure this is no straightforward autobiographical retelling. The song’s bridge poignantly conveys Dylan’s state-of-mind at the time, “the lights were on the river, shining from outside, I contemplated every move or at least I tried.” Even the missteps of a high-profile artist like Dylan become calculated.

“Spanish Is the Loving Tongue” and “I Threw It All Away” evince a blend of two Dylan strands, winsome folk melodies intertwining with the more surreal lyrics of his “rock” period. “Nights go a flyin,” in the carefully considered piano playing of the former, while the latter finds Dylan cradling mountains in the palm of his hand. “Love is all there is,” he confesses. In all its glory love can still beating hearts and stop time; thrown away it ensures agony.

Dylan is in full-flight on the traditional folk tunes, the jaunty “Railroad Bill” sees the harmonica return and Dylan rambles in a way he hadn’t since ’63’s The Freewheelin Bob Dylan. The ancient “Pretty Saro” is reinvigorated; Dylan’s shy warbling adeptly reflecting the title figure resting “down in some lonesome valley.” The previously unreleased “House Carpenter” is a far-cry from the lightning take bottled up on the Bootleg Series Vol. 1-3. Dylan outran the spirit on the water in the earlier version; here he and a specter walk side-by-side. “Days of ’49” is similarly haunted, Dylan playing the ghost “Tom Moore from the bummer shore”. If the “House Carpenter” was unfairly forsaken, the “ginsot” Moore and his “jolly saucy crew” receive their just desserts. The Dylan songbook is lousy with tragic characters (“Hurricane”, “Catfish”, “Blind Willie McTell”) “repining” the glory years, and few look to the past as longingly as Tom Moore.

The much maligned Isle of Wight recordings (Dylan would scrap a concert album) are re-contextualized on the second disc. “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight”s country waltz only skirts the edges of the masterpieces Dylan and The Band would paint on 1975’s The Basement Tapes. A herky-jerky “Highway 61 Revisited” finds Robbie Robertson’s guitar going in and out of gallop, while Levon Helm’s drum-set drops out of frame to spotlight crucial lines. The concert doesn’t provoke in the same way Live 1966’s electric half did, however its laconic country grooves reward just the same.

Many cuts here find success in addition by subtraction; tracks like “If Not For You” (Alternate Version) tip the scales in the other direction. A redolent violin part tiptoes on a snow covered rooftop while Dylan waits for the promise of his love’s spring to begin the melting. His is a world where an absence of love cause robins to cease their singing. Sleepless nights are spent desperately trying to see the morning light. We lose sight of what’s right in front of us when love vanishes and on “If Not For You” Dylan’s gone blind.

Another Self Portrait arguably saves the best for last, a piano demo version of “When I Paint My Masterpiece”. Dylan’s weathered vocals evoke “a long hard climb”, one laboring from the Mesabi Iron Range of Hibbing, Minnesota to the pinnacle of popular music. He retraces Roman footsteps until he and his “old Victrola” are reunited and spends hours inside the Coliseum in the name of “wasting time.” “Someday, everything is gonna be diff’rent when I paint my masterpiece,” he belts near the end. Self-Portrait is certainly “different”, in terms of audience-shedding it sits comfortably alongside: Metal Machine Music, In Utero, Kid A, and Yeezus  in the pantheon. If Self-Portrait is any kind of a painting, it’s an abstraction. This edition of the Bootleg Series reveals a rudimentary canvas to be an ornately crafted work. A piercing shrill curls into a pleasing rhapsody. The voice of a generation hadn’t gone mute, it was singing in a tone no one had heard before.

Twigs Test – Take 3

Day three of the twigs test, today’s lens is my Minolta AF 28-135mm. This is one of the original Minolta AF lenses from the mid 1980s, and is now over 30 years old. It’s well built, with a minimum of plastic components, which makes it heavy for its size. This lens was also quite expensive when introduced and still goes for $400+ in in excellent condition. Sony has a current lens (Minolta designed) similar in focal length, the 24-105mm F/3.5-4.5, but it doesn’t perform as well overall.

This set was taken from the same location, focusing on the same center Y-branch, only difference being that today it was sunny and that because of the longer focal length I need to increase the aperture to have a good depths of field.

All photos were taken with my Sony SLT α77 and Minolta AF 28-135mm F/4-4.5 lens, at 42mm (28mm FF), 52mm (35mm FF), 75mm (50mm FF), 105mm (70mm FF), 150mm (100mm FF) & 202mm (135mm FF), using Aperture mode, with a setting of f/16, White Balance set to cloudy, ISO to 200.

Since 2012, the firm has grown its client base, employee count and number of investing partners (all high net worth individuals in Energy themselves). The majority owners of KLR Group have always been, and remain, its founders and employees.

An installation that explores the historical treatment of women’s mental health.

This project was created to explore the historical treatment of women’s mental health. The sphere reminds us that women were incarcerated within asylums very often needlessly, but the sphere is controllable by other people, pushed around and manipulated. The rags are reminiscent of rag trees where family would tie remnants of clothing from people who were sick in the belief that as the rag disintegrates the person would get better.

The arched central element is a reference to Charcot’s hysterical arch. It is hand dyed with St. johns wort a natural anti depressant and then quilted on one end in a brain pattern with a section from the front torn and removed referencing pre frontal lobotomy’s often given to women as a way of calming them.

The other end is stitched with paper and hand embroidered with salt crystals grown over the top that remind us of the tears shed. This end was created as a reference to the   unclaimed cremation urns from a 19th century asylum that David Maisel photographed.

Clown Pair Fired by Circus-Circus

By  |

Cuddles and Canoli, the Circus Circus clowns who have entertained guests at the Reno hotel-casino and served as community ambassadors for more than a decade, have been told to take a hike.

The clowns are the latest victims in a round of layoffs of upper- and middle-management at the casino in the wake of distressed financial reports, the Reno Gazette-Journal reported Wednesday.

In recent months, the hotel's director, manager, entertainment director and publicist have been let go, the newspaper reported.

Circus Circus is owned by Las Vegas-based Mandalay Resort Group.

According to company financial reports, the Reno property posted a dismal net profit last year of $3.64 million, down $4.76 million - or more than 56 percent - from 2002.

Doug Mattice, who portrayed Canoli, and Cindy Hammond, who was Cuddles, were veteran employees who received full-time salaries and benefits.

They received their pink slips April 2, Mattice said.

"We'd meet and greet, do special events, escort people to conferences, do balloon animals, face painting," Mattice said. "We were the ambassadors of goodwill for Circus Circus."

John Marz, Mandalay's senior vice president of marketing and events, said the layoffs are a casualty of northern Nevada's struggling gambling industry.

"Indian gaming in Northern California has affected Reno, and we, along with other companies, have had to make some difficult management decisions to cope with the decrease in our customers coming over the hill," Marz told the newspaper.

Mattice, who had worked at the casino since 1985, portrayed Canoli full time since 1990.

Hammond, a 24-year employee, said she had just received a pay raise, new clown shoes and was already in costume when told she was being let go.

"I just kind of went blank, in shock," she said. "I said, 'Well, do you want me to work today?'

"And they said, 'No Cuddles, just sign here.'"

Yes i find rest when i feel your breath
Cleaning my dirty pores
When i sense the wind in my hair

I find rest when my eyes swallow beauty
when my body - gently disappears - in the sea of life

Oh what a pleasure,
Oh what an honor,
to be here, to feel, to regret
Too scared to say a word

Our worlds have always collided
Our worlds have never been one

Will you drown with me, out there ...
in the deserted sea?
Would you walk with me till the end of time,
and see with with me what no-one (else) has seen?

Please don't look at me like that
It feels like you're killing me
Please don't touch my skin like that
as if you're not here with me

First of all, can I just ask......WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WRONG WITH OLD MEN IN ABUJA?? Like I've tried to be polite to most of them that clearly don't respect the sanctity of marriage, but I'd probably have to take another approach especially now that I have to always encounter this particular one. Let me gist you my story

I recently started physiotherapy on my left knee after been told an accident injury from years back was beginning to develop osteoarthritis (breakdown of cartilage and underlying bone). From my first day of therapy, I noticed some pretty weird stuffs:

1) Uncle physiotherapist for some no good reason felt it was okay to hold my hands quite close to his third leg (you should surely know what I mean if you follow my posts). I somehow wriggled my hand out and just feigned I wasn't paying attention

2) In the course of therapy, there's usually a massage session with an analgesic cream after the laser therapy; his massaging is not ordinary one. In fact I began to wonder if my knee had somehow moved to another side of my body *straight face*

3) He almost always has a "hard on"

4) He noticed I'm always with my phone; probably for fear of taking a video of his misbehavior, he told me I was not allowed to take videos and stuffs like that. I explained I needed to use my phone a lot as I blog. From then, he'd use some excuse to see what I'm doing and all...he thinks he's smart ei?

I've been quite nice you know....because I don't want to cost someone his job. I have no idea if he's been doing the same to other patients my age....but I'm totally appalled. Truth is I need the therapy and it's easier to do it in the hospital I work in (staff benefits); but this is beginning to get out of hands.
My last session was horrible. I was so disgusted. My God it felt like he was going to actually do something with him leaning on my shoulder (faking being empathetic), almost close to my face, touching my face inappropriately by saying "Your new hairdo is pretty, you look beautiful"...I politely and gently took his hands off and said thank you. I remember him going for a hug and I gave a high five (his head there. Is it me he wants to use and do chest to chest pressing experiment?).. I even refused getting a massage, lied I forgot the topical cream and someone else would help me do it at home. He was like "you know the session is not complete without it, it's like you didn't even do any physio today, bla bla" I hear. Thank you sir

I actually require a medical report from him, else I'm sure I might have kicked or slapped him or hard or done something quite outrageous (trust me I could be quite short tempered, surprised I've been this nice)....but I don't want to do something now and he withholds it. I've even considered switching hospitals but I'm not sure my parent department would recognize a report from them plus the toll it would take on me considering when I get off work, the distance and expenses.....I don't need that stress now.

But in all, it's affirmed. He's a total pervert and it's horrible that we have men like that in the health sector. It's because of this issue that I have to put on gowns to work any day I know I have an appointment with him...why? I ain't gon take off my trousers in front of a human like that who would use his job to play ten ten on my body; and there are no ward gowns oh :/

I really and truly am getting frustrated. Each time I think of my next physiotherapy session I get the chills and in my head I resolve to hurt him...or report to one of my superiors. But you guys know how these things can go right? They'd call some meeting, it would be his word against mine, they'd probably say I'm lying and then that would be the end of my therapy, I'd be blacklisted in the hospital maybe and I'd never get that medical report....

Well....there's a limit to what one can handle. Someone gave me an idea though....I'm thinking about it...I might just do it...or might not....Lord help me!

But anyways, how many of y'all have been in such nasty situations? How did you handle it? Leave your thoughts in the comment section as you Talk With Krystal ;)

Much love my darlings

  1. Wow.... Krystal this is a serious one o.... No vex but cnt u slap d man.. . I mean that is abuse. Whether he is person father or not, me I chopters not I go slap am n curse am.. . I mean how dare he.... How would he feel if someone abuses his child.... Krystal dear forget parent hospital shit.. . If en try am again, dash one tight slap, trust me he won't try it again.

  2. Anonymous13/7/16 10:13

    Lol....well, I'm not surprised u know.
    The rate at which these doctors hide behind the lab curtains to play the role of a pastor and carry out deliverance is just to annoying.
    It just doesn't make sense that, someone goes in to get medical checkup and all...but later on it turns out to be sexual healing(����)
    Please Krystal, u need to let the man know that u know wat he's up to, come out straight and tell it ain't gonna happen. If it gets worse make a video of the whole shit going down,and make yourself some money if u know wat I mean(lol)....Signing out!!

Suspected LAX gunman charged

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Federal prosecutors filed charges of murder and commission of violence at an international airport against the unemployed motorcycle mechanic suspected of carrying out the deadly shooting at the Los Angeles airport.

If convicted, Paul Ciancia could get the death penalty. He was arrested Friday after authorities say he barged into a terminal, pulled an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle from his duffel bag and opened fire. The bullets killed a Transportation Security Administration officer and injuring four others before Ciancia was gunned down by airport police.

The killing was "believed to be a premeditated act of murder in the first-degree," U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr. said in announcing the charges.

Authorities believe someone dropped Ciancia off at the airport, and agents are reviewing surveillance tapes and other evidence to piece together the sequence of events.

"We are really going to draw a picture of who this person was, his background, his history. That will help us explain why he chose to do what he did," FBI Special Agent in Charge David L. Bowdich said.

The suspect appeared determined to lash out at the TSA, saying in a note that he wanted to kill at least one TSA officer and didn't care which one, authorities said.

It's not clear why Ciancia targeted the agency, but the note found in his duffel bag suggested the unemployed motorcycle mechanic was willing to kill almost any officer he could confront.

"Black, white, yellow, brown, I don't discriminate," the note read, according to a paraphrase by a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.

The suspect's screed also mentioned "fiat currency" and "NWO," possible references to the New World Order, a conspiracy theory that foresees a totalitarian one-world government.

Ciancia, who was shot four times by airport police, remained hospitalized Saturday, but there was no word on his condition. He was wounded in the mouth and the leg, authorities said.

Terminal 3, the area where the shooting happened, reopened Saturday afternoon. Passengers who had abandoned luggage to escape Friday's gunfire were allowed to return to collect their bags.

"When challenged, Los Angeles is ready and knows how to respond. This is one tough town," said City Councilman Mike Bonin, whose district includes the airport.

He praised airport police, saying they "saved untold lives" with a swift response that was "absolutely textbook."

The TSA planned to review its security policies in the wake of the shooting. Administrator John Pistole did not say if that meant arming officers.

As airport operations returned to normal, a few more details trickled out about Ciancia, who by all accounts was reserved and solitary.

Former classmates barely remember him and even a recent roommate could say little about the young man who moved from New Jersey to Los Angeles less than two years ago. A former classmate at Salesianum School in Wilmington, Del., said Ciancia was incredibly quiet.

"He kept to himself and ate lunch alone a lot," David Hamilton told the Los Angeles Times. "I really don't remember any one person who was close to him .... In four years, I never heard a word out of his mouth."

On Friday, Ciancia's father called police in New Jersey, worried about his son in L.A. The young man had sent texts to his family that suggested he might be in trouble, at one point even saying goodbye.

The call came too late. Ten minutes earlier, police said, he had walked into the airport, pulled the rifle from his bag and began firing at TSA officers. When the shooting stopped, one officer was dead and five other people were wounded, including two more TSA workers and the gunman himself.

When searched by police, Ciancia had five 30-round magazines, and his bag contained "hundreds of rounds in 20-round boxes," the law-enforcement official said.

Authorities identified the dead TSA officer as Gerardo I. Hernandez, 39, the first TSA official in the agency's 12-year history to be killed in the line of duty.

In the messages, the younger Ciancia did not mention suicide or hurting others, but his father had heard from a friend that his son may have had a gun, said Allen Cummings, police chief in Pennsville, a small blue-collar town near the Delaware River where Ciancia grew up.

The police chief called Los Angeles police, who sent a patrol car to Ciancia's apartment. There, two roommates said that they had seen him a day earlier and he had appeared to be fine.

But by that time, shots were already breaking out at the airport.

"There's nothing we could do to stop him," Cummings said.

The police chief said he never met Paul Ciancia Jr., but that he learned from his father that he attended a technical school in Florida, then moved to Los Angeles in 2012 hoping to get a job as a motorcycle mechanic. He was having trouble finding work.

"I've never dealt with the kids," the chief said. "They were never on the police blotter, nothing like that."

Ciancia graduated in December 2011 from Motorcycle Mechanics Institute in Orlando, Fla., said Tina Miller, a spokeswoman for Universal Technical Institute, the Scottsdale, Ariz., company that runs the school.

A basic motorcycle mechanic course takes about a year, she said.

After arriving in LA, Ciancia stayed on the couch of an acquaintance at the Rancho Los Feliz Apartment Homes for two weeks, apartment manager David Plaxen said. Ciancia was never on a lease.

The attack at the nation's third-busiest airport caused flight delays and cancellations nationwide. Some Los Angeles-bound flights that were already in the air were diverted. As gunshots rang out, swarms of passengers screamed, dropped to the ground or ran for their lives.

Others fled into the terminal, taking refuge in coffee shops and lounges as the gunman shot his way toward them. The gunman seemed to ignore anyone except TSA targets.

Friends and neighbors remembered Hernandez as a doting father of two and a good neighbor who went door-to-door warning neighbors to be careful after his home in the Porter Ranch area of Los Angeles was burglarized.

In brief remarks outside the couple's home north of downtown Los Angeles, his widow, Ana Hernandez, said Saturday that her husband came to the U.S. from El Salvador at age 15.

The couple, who married on Valentine's Day in 1998, had two children.

Friday's attack was not the first shooting at LAX. On July 4, 2002, a limousine driver opened fire at the airport's El Al ticket counter, killing an airline employee and a person who was dropping off a friend at the terminal. Police killed the gunman.
