I love the look of vintage postcards. It is one of the inexpensive things I like to look for in antique shops. My goal is to spend 50 cents or under per card. Sometimes I will get a great bargain where they are only a quarter each, and I usually go throught the pile and pick out a dozen of the prettiest ones.
At Christmas time I like to use the old postcards as art work. I might put them in picture frames, on wreaths, or on the Christmas tree. This year I have a door from an old tin pie safe door hanging on the wall. Isn't the rusted punched tin a cool background? I use vintage button magnets to hang them on the door as art work. I like to use the magnets because it doesn't damage the postcards.

Critics Consensus: The Nun boasts strong performances, spooky atmospherics, and a couple decent set-pieces, but its sins include inconsistent logic and narrative slackness.

Common Sense Says
Violent entry in Conjuring series feels rushed, dashed off.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that The Nun is the fifth movie in the Conjuring franchise (which also includes The Conjuring, The Conjuring 2, Annabelle, and Annabelle: Creation). Violence is quite graphic: Expect to see pools of blood, a river of blood, slashed skin, stabbing, dead bodies, bodies on fire, and blood-covered body parts. Characters die (both at others' hands and by suicide), and there's a scene with guns and shooting. The movie is also full of jump scares and scary images. Language is infrequent; there's a single use of "s--t," plus "God," "hell," and "Jesus Christ" in a faith-based context. There's brief flirting and light drinking (a glass of wine with dinner, beers in the local pub). This film sadly feels like a dashed-off quickie, without much effort put into it, but its characters and setting may still appeal to some horror fans.

Parents as Experts in the Classroom
No doubt about it – teachers are masters at crafting academic content so that its relatable to students. They can take the mundane in numbers, work their magic, and teach kids how to multiply fractions. And they can take drab characters, shine a light on them and all of a sudden, these characters become our kids’ best friends. Simply put, teachers are truly inspirational! Sometimes, though, parents are tempted to think that the teacher is the only one that can be in command of student learning in the classroom. The truth is that teachers embrace all experts to enlighten their students and would be more than happy to welcome your experience and expertise in the classroom! So, what are some topics you could present to students?
Your Cultural Heritage
Is there a favorite cultural holiday or family tradition that you celebrate? Why is it meaningful to you? What value does this holiday or tradition embrace? What do you do and what are some of the items used during the celebration? You may be the first person to share your cultural heritage with one of your child’s classmates.
An Art Demonstration or Activity
Children deserve access to arts education in all its forms, whether it be music, photography, painting, dance, or arts and craft. Is there a hobby or talent that you want to introduce to children? Share your talent, spark some interest, and inspire the next generation!
Your Love of Cooking
Cooking together is one of the best community building activities there is! Not only is everyone looking forward to eating the yummy food together, there’s always a lot of camaraderie while preparing food. And yes, cooking can be academic – there’s math in measuring ingredients and chemistry in the cooking process!
Your Love of Sports
Kids of all ages love to play games, however, most kids are still developing physical skills. It would go a long way in securing a child’s love for a sport if an adult would spend some physical education time to show them some techniques. Let kids know there’s plenty of physics in sports, too, like the trajectory of a basketball into the basket or the force it would take to hit a baseball for a home run.
A Lesson on Financial Literacy
Why not teach kids how to save money and balance a check book? These are just basic addition and subtraction skills, but it’s never too early to teach the value of saving money and delayed gratification when it comes to spending money. How about this for a fun class activity? If the teacher agrees to this idea, let the class know you’ll assign money to points the class can earn for good behavior. At the end of a designated time period, the class will convert those points and get “paid” in money. They can then have a follow-up lesson on civics and budgeting: they must come to a consensus on whether their money can buy popsicles or pizza for a class party.
Talk to your child’s teacher about ways to bring your expertise to the classroom! What might you add to this list?

This past Tuesday marked the resumption of an ugly, archaic chapter in the history of wildlife management in the West: New Mexico resumed a recreational trapping program for cougars, a practice that had been prohibited in the state for the last 40 years. New Mexico joins Texas as the only states to permit cougar trapping.
The cruelty inflicted by leg-hold traps and snares is well documented. When trapped, animals struggle fiercely to break free. They endure tremendous suffering, psychological distress, and severe injuries to their joints, tendons, and even their spines. They can suffer hypothermia or heat exhaustion. Trapped cougars, even tiny kittens, may die from dehydration, starvation, or predation.
The HSUS, along with our partner Animal Protection of New Mexico and a group of New Mexico citizens concerned with the harm that trapping will have on cougars, filed a lawsuit challenging this recent rule change, which allowed steel-jawed leg-hold traps and snares to be set on more than nine million acres of state trust lands—including vast swaths of habitat shared with the critically endangered Mexican wolf and jaguar.
Our lawyers are making sure that cougars, jaguars, and wolves get their day in court, and that the state is held accountable for its rash and uninformed decision making. A 2015 statewide poll found New Mexicans opposed cougar trapping and snaring by a three-to-one margin. Yet, the New Mexico Game Commission, a governor-appointed (not elected) body, ignored the public’s wishes.
But even in states where cougar trapping is not specifically permitted, we’re still seeing incidental trapping. In Nevada, according to state inspectors, one in six cougars killed by trophy hunters showed damage to their claws, paws, and legs from traps and snares set out for bobcats. Not all survive, even after release; they are too damaged to hunt wild prey again. In the West, cougars in Idaho and Montana are victims to wolf traps.
Of the 16 remaining states with established cougar populations, California and Florida are the only ones to protect cougars from trophy hunters. The magnitude of trophy hunting America’s own lions is jaw-dropping. In the last 10 years, approximately 29,000 cougars have been killed by trophy hunters in the United States, according to a report we released earlier this year. But those are only the animals that wildlife managers know about. Never are the orphaned cougar kittens counted in this toll.
Most cougars will be chased by packs of trailing hounds wearing GPS collars, making the “hunt” a sort of high-tech search-and-destroy mission. Hounding poses significant risk to the hounds as well as to young wildlife, including dependent kittens, who may be attacked and killed by hounds. Hounds also disturb or kill non-target wildlife and trespass onto private lands. The practice is not fair chase and remains highly controversial even among hunters.
The HSUS works each day to protect cougars and other native carnivores from the seemingly endless persecution of trophy hunting. In 2016, we successfully helped stop efforts to allow cougar trapping in Wyoming. In 2015, we prevented the increase of cougar-hunting quotas to scientifically unsustainable levels in Washington and halted a wasteful and redundant “study” that would have culled cougars in Colorado in a vain attempt to inflate prey populations. But our work is never done.
State wildlife agencies compound the work of trophy hunters. Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) proposed two egregious cougar- and bear-killing “studies.” They plan to cull up to 50 percent of their populations using both trophy hunters and wildlife services. They claim that with fewer predators, mule deer numbers will magically swell—so CPW can sell more deer tags. CPW wants to make a killing on all the killing. Yet even the agency’s own biologists have shown, over decades of research, that mule deer populations are limited because of human-caused factors. The real culprits in Colorado’s mule deer decline are oil and gas drilling, urban sprawl, climate change, and degradation of mule deer winter range. CPW’s proposed studies are merely predator-culling schemes designed to appease mule deer hunters and livestock owners.
Beautiful and elusive, cougars are apex predators in their native habitats. As we learn more about their familial nature and importance to their ecosystems, it’s no wonder so many Americans value them so highly. We’ll continue to fight for them, since there’s just no good reason to engage in the recreational killing of America’s lions.

|Wine maker notes
|Work in the vineyard starts by selecting the most suitable plots of land for each variety. The grapes are harvested once they have reached peak maturity, determined by regular tasting, and are sorted twice: once in the vineyard and again in the winery.
Vinification takes place in the traditional manner, the grapes are de-stemmed and then transferred to the vats for maceration lasting 3 to 4 weeks.
The must is pressed before malolactic fermentation begins. 33% of the wine is transferred to barrels and left to mature for 9 months, whilst the rest remains in the vats in order to preserve its fresh, fruity character.
|From the discovery of the Tautavel man to the Roman hegemony in Narbonne, via the Visigoth occupation and the Cathar heresy, Languedoc-Roussillonís past is steeped in rich history. At the beginning of the 20th Century, a phylloxera epidemic, coupled with overproduction and widespread fraud, wrought havoc for winegrowers, who subsequently decided to revolt. Since the 1950s the wines of the Languedoc have become increasingly refined, and the best estates now produce wines of truly exceptional quality. Gerard Bertrand is determined to drive this progress even further, through continued innovation and by creating internationally-renowned appellations and wines.


10:39 p.m. UPDATE: Democrat Joe Nicoletti said he wants to take 24 hours to consider the less than 1,000 votes that separate him from Stephanie Miner and the status of absentee ballots. He said he has been unable to reach Miner to deliver that news.
"I will do the right thing for the city and for the Democratic party," he told supporters at the Palace Theatre, on James Street.
The board of elections has sent absentee ballots to 555 city Democrats and 361 Republicans. They had received 321 Democratic ballots and 172 Republican ballots back as of Tuesday. Other ballots have until next Tuesday to reach the board but must have been postmarked by Sept. 14. Military ballots have another 12 days to come in, said Republican election Commissioner Helen Kiggins.
10:33 p.m. UPDATE: Republican winner Steve Kimatian thanked his supporters for running a successful grassroots campaign against the party's designated candidate.
"It's a brand new day," he said. "This is just the beginning. This just gets us into the World Series. This was only the playoffs. There's a lot more work to do."
10:22 p.m. UPDATE: Democrat Stephanie Miner said she is on to victory in November.
"I am humbled, but proud of the people who have chosen to be with me on what is a chance to make the city of Syracuse a better place for all of us," she told supporters at Nibsy's Pub.
10 p.m. UPDATE: The last ballots have been counted: Democrat Stephanie Miner and Republican Steve Kimatian will face off in the November election for mayor of Syracuse.
Miner survived a challenge by three other candidates in her race to run as the Democratic candidate for Syracuse mayor in November.
Kimatian successfully grabbed the Republican nomination from Otis Jennings, the candidate the party designated to run earlier this year. Jennings will still be on the ballot, as a Conservative Party candidate.
The unofficial results are:
Democrats: Miner 4,040; Nicoletti: 3,240; Alfonso Davis: 1,021; Carmen Harlow 793.
Republicans: Kimatian 1,645; Jennings 1,271.
Miner is about to declare victory at Nibsy's Pub.
The three other Democratic candidates did not secure any other party nominations and will not be on the ballot in November.
9: 55 p.m. UPDATE: Cheers are erupting at Nibsy's Pub for Stephanie Miner. With 91 percent of the vote counted, she leads with 3,755 votes. Joe Nicoletti has 2,939 votes.
On the Republican side, Steve Kimatian has 1,434 votes and Otis Jennings has 1,169 votes so far.
Looks like a very low turn out. The city has 38,863 registered Democrats and 12,980 Republicans.
SYRACUSE, NY - The Onondaga County Board of Elections has already counted 55 percent of the votes cast today in the Republican and Democratic primaries for the next mayor of Syracuse. Polls closed at 9.
So far, Democrat Stephanie Miner is up by 441 votes. Republican Steve Kimatian is up by only 21, with 55 percent of votes counted.
Supporters are starting to gather for the events each candidate hopes to call a victory party.
Cars are honking outside the Palace Theatre, on James Street, where Democrat Joe Nicoletti's friends are gathering, some wearing orange T-shirts. Nibsy's Pub, in the Tipperary Hill neighborhood, is filling up with supporters for Democrat Stephanie Miner.
Republican Otis Jennings just arrived at Asti Caffe, on North Salina Street. There are big-screen televisions and a red, white and blue bouquet of balloons.
Republican Steve Kimatian's family and friends are starting to gather at his campaign headquarters, on North Midler Avenue.
Kimatian's three-year-old granddaughter caught a glimpse of him on television.
Sarah Rose Eagen stopped coloring, pointed to the TV and exclaimed: "Pops!"
"I hope its going to be a good night," said Ellen Eagen, Kimatians daughter and Sarah Rose's mother.

Born and raised in Bay Ridge, Senator Gounardes graduated from Fort Hamilton High School and earned degrees from Hunter College and the George Washington University Law School. Senator Gounardes’ passion for public service began as an aide to former City Councilmember Vincent Gentile. He later served as Counsel to Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams for five years and a trustee of the New York City Employees’ Retirement System, one of the largest municipal pension funds in the country.
Guided by the principles of philoxenia, a Greek word meaning "love of strangers," he was active in the community long before being elected to office. Following Superstorm Sandy, Andrew co-founded Bay Ridge Cares, an organization that prepared 25,000 hot meals for victims after the storm. A community advocate, he worked with Riders Alliance and Bay Ridge Advocates for Keeping Everyone Safe (B.R.A.K.E.S.) to fight for better transportation and safer streets.

Pyongyang the capital of North Korea , A city where few outsiders have visited and fewer will ever visit. A mysterious place for some , secretive in all senses and to top that off it has garnered the attention of everyone from everywhere for the wrong reasons. It already seems like Nuclear war could be a distant reality.
It’s a Miracle that Nuclear war has been avoided so far.
A generation where most of us haven’t seen any kind of war , where most of us have not been directly affected by war, need to know that it’s the worst thing that can happen to us. We have been softened by the peace that has been gifted to us and are in no way ready to handle the psychological and many other effects of war. So to say the least a nuclear war will be a devastation on a huge scale.
A rare opportunity
A Singaporean photographer named Aram Pan has been given a rare chance to capture the city of Pyongyang in a microlight aircraft which otherwise was only possible by satellites. Aram Pan was given access only because he had, many times previously visited the country and even tells us that they are not as bad as we hear them to be. Well that is for you to decide.
The 360 video of Pyongyang from the Microlight aircraft.
Here is the interview that Pan had given to NK News.
NK News: Could you tell us how you got started making films about North Korea?
Aram Pan: It started with my first trip in August 2013. That trip really piqued my interest as I saw a side of them that nobody seemed interested in. Ordinary life was happening all around that seemed to be overshadowed by the narrative of North Korea being a scary place. I just decided, why not show people the stuff I see?
NK News: Why do you think you’ve been allowed the access that you have?
Aram Pan: Perhaps it’s because I don’t see them as the terrifying people everyone thinks they are and I guess they feel that. I find that the friendlier I am, the more they naturally reveal themselves to me. There’s an old saying, “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger”.
NK News: How did you get the rights to film from above? What was the experience like?
Aram Pan: They’ve recently restricted bringing cameras or mobile phones into the microlight planes for safety reasons. The wind is extremely strong up there and a well-timed gust would knock off your mobile phone.
I asked if I could capture the city from the air – long story short. After a combined effort on the part of the NTA (National Tourism Administration) and KITC (Korea International Travel Company), approval was obtained and my flight was arranged so I could bring up any camera that could be safely stuck or tethered to me.
Flying over a city in an open-air microlight with a 2kg (4.4lbs) DSLR needed plenty of safety precautions. I still ended up bringing 4 cameras, including the Entaniya setup that captured the world’s first 360° aerial video over North Korea. This experience is made unique because of North Korea being isolated yet here I am doing aerial photography over the most secretive state in the world!
NK News: Did they check your footage or photos after the flight? Did they delete anything?
Aram Pan: Yes, there was a guy there to go through all the material I shot. There were a couple of photos he deleted. I’d say I kept 90% of what I shot. The North Koreans were really proud of their city and were chatting with me about what I saw and what I liked. Even the guy who deleted my photos was very into the conversation.
NK News: Have you ever felt pressure from the North Koreans to not film certain things? Do they ask for approval of what you shoot?
Aram Pan: The standard do-not-shoot subjects are the military personnel; especially soldiers at work, such as at construction sites and on the farms. Photographing military vehicles and army facilities are also not allowed. Other than that, they leave me to snap away.
NK News: Do you feel like you are presented with an idealized view of North Korea?
Aram Pan: I don’t think so. Let me give you just one example. I’ve been visiting their trade fairs regularly, and with each visit, I see consumerism on the rise. Advertising is also being more widely implemented, but for now; it’s still within the shops.
The bottom line is North Korea has been steadily evolving in ways everyone has overlooked and I don’t think we can clearly define them yet.

There was a woman I met that had severe vision problems and was not able to drive. She wanted to go to church and needed someone to drive her. I had not been attending church for a while and thought this might be God nudging me in that direction. So I volunteered. I did not know much about this woman. I knew that she couldn’t see and that was about it.
We had decided that I would pick her up, of course, and then after church we would come to her house to eat. She was going to cook lunch. I was leary of this idea, but trying to be polite and open to whatever might help this woman feel good.
I approached the door and knocked quietly. I hear her inside yelling, “Paige!, No, Paige! Paige, no!” I stand at the door wondering why she’s yelling my name and why is she telling me no. She opens the door and there is an enormous black dog standing there, and, of course, her name is Paige.
We sit down to have some coffee while we wait until time to leave. She begins telling me about how she was going to make a cake to go with our lunch today. As she’s talking I kind-of drift off and quit paying attention because I’m noticing a trail of cats walking around her house. There were at least ten cats of all shapes and sizes. I realize the woman can’t see my facial expressions so I’m not worried too much about the shock that is showing there. I finally ascertain that the cats live in the ceiling … there was hole in the closet that they were climbing in and out of.
So as I’m taking this all in I hear her say, “… and then I must have had a seizure.” I snap out of my cat thoughts and ask her to please repeat that last part. She says, “I was saying that I had decided to make a cake for today, to go with our lunch. As I was mixing the icing with the mixer I must have had a seizure. I came to and I was on the kitchen floor and there was icing everywhere.” About this time, Paige the dog walks up to me, and I notice, I’m not even kidding, there is icing all over this dog’s back. I stifle a laugh and walk into the kitchen, there is icing all over the walls and cabinets. It was at this time that I realized, this could be a Seinfeld episode.
I would love to hear about some of your own “Seinfeld” moments.


Redbet Casino is an online casino established in 2004 that runs on a multi-software platform offering games from a variety of suppliers. It is operated by Evoke Gaming Ltd and is registered under the jurisdictions of United Kingdom, Malta and Sweden. Last Updated: April 22, 2020.
Redbet Casino is a generally well regarded betting site that has changed hands numerous times in the past few years. Initially a Swedish run business, it was most recently acquired by William Hill in late 2018 when it bought out Mr Green shortly after it had itself acquired Redbet. Over time this group of casinos has built a reputation for having an easy to use interface, fantastic game selection, and high quality customer support.
Redbet is a diversified betting site that offers punters a chance to play both live and RNG casino games, as well as bet on sporting events. The casino platform is entirely web-based, meaning that the games can be played directly in your web browser without the need to install any software on your PC. The games are all freely available to play in demo mode, but you will need to sign up for an account to play for real money.
The games are all easily accessible through a handy menu which categorises the games by type: Table Games, Poker Games, Slots, and Jackpot games. These games are all high quality, and feature crisp graphics and sound. For fans of jackpots and tournaments, Redbet caters for you too. There are daily and monthly tournaments on featured games, and jackpots both large and small. It offers some of Net Entertainment's bigger slots jackpots including Arabian Nights, Mega Fortune, and Hall of Gods, each of which has been won for multi-million Euro prizes in the past. It also offers smaller localised jackpots and as always with Net Entertainment casinos, we recommend you check the current jackpot sizes against other casinos with the same games, as the jackpots on offer on specific games can differ by millions of Euros between casinos. You can use our jackpot tracker for that here: Net Entertainment Progressive Jackpots.
A recent addition to the games portfolios is the Live Casino where players can go up against real time dealers for Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat. The live action allows players to see the cards being dealt or the roulette wheel spin, and the experience is as close to being at a land based casino as you can get online. The included chat facility means you can talk to the dealers or other players while playing.
Being run by a European based company means that the currency of choice is Euro and Redbet also offers a wide variety of language choices. Not surprisingly they are all European and include English, Swedish, Norwegian, German, Finnish, Polish, and Russian. Live chat support is offered should you need some help, but it is not available 24/7 for players outside of Europe. You can also contact Redbet via email, phone, and postal mail.
Payouts at Redbet are processed extremely quickly. Once you have supplied identification to verify your account, e-wallet withdrawals are often processed within a matter of hours of being submitted. The casino accepts a variety of methods including credit cards, e-wallets, vouchers, and bank transfers for transacting to and from the casino (see full list in the summary section on this page) and unlike its sister casino Mr Green, it does not charge fees on withdrawals. There are no specified withdrawal limits or instalment plans for paying out big wins.
Redbet holds a license to operate from several regulators including the UK Gambling Commission, Malta Gaming Authority, as well as a local Swedish license. It has a good track record for professional and fair operation, and all traffic is encrypted using SSL technology while you browse the site. The casino discloses that it segregates player funds to protect them in the event of the casino becoming insolvent, and the protections it applies to your funds meets what the UKGC categorises as a medium level of protection.
Inside your account settings you can tweak a number of controls aimed at promoting responsible gambling. There are options to limit your total deposits, wagering, or losses at the site within a defined time period. You can also set up a "reality check" which is a reminder that pops up to inform you when you have been playing for an extended period. You can also set a short time out period or a total self exclusion should it become necessary.
If there is one major downer going against Redbet it is the recent acquisition of the site by William Hill. Said operator has been blacklisted here at Casino Listings for many years due to a variety of issues that you can read about on William Hill's review page. While we have always found representatives of Redbet to be cooperative and helpful in the past if players ever contacted us about any issue with their casinos, we cannot say the same for William Hill. Suffice to say that it is enough to lower our estimation of this casino, and we will be keeping a close eye on how things develop over the coming months and years under this new management.
Redbet is an attractive choice for just about anyone who loves casino games, but European gamblers in particular. The casino offers a high quality selection of games, and the live casino, sports betting and poker options mean there are plenty of other betting options available in the one package. Unfortunately the new ownership of William Hill gives us doubts that we may still be able to help and intervene in the event of any disputes with the casino in future.
These are the current progressive jackpots at Redbet Casino as recorded by our casino jackpots tracker. Click a jackpot name to view detailed statistics, jackpot graphs, and win records.


People are talking about "that idiot in the White House"
Life these days in our United States....
Story 1: My 81-year-old mother went to see her opthamalogist recently for a checkup. Usually they are pleasant enough with each other, but don't have any extended interaction. This time they got to chatting and the doctor asked my mother what she thought about "all these pronouncements coming out of Washington lately" and my ladylike mother piped up:
what an alarming prospect the government health care takeover is, and how ordinary, individual Americans need to become activists doing everything possible to stop it.
The amazing moral of this story is that my mother in ordinary times would never speak up about politics in a doctor's office or a social or non-family setting. She has never before felt the need to. And neither, I gather, would her doctor have injected political discussion into a medical consultation. This shows how far we are from ordinary times. But an equally amazing reward for my mother and her doctor was the discovery that they agreed with each other, and that something needs to be done, and can be done, by ordinary people speaking out and speaking up.
Story 2: I received a wonderful gift last week from the 18-year-old friend of my son (and my longtime friend, too): a copy of Mark R. Levin's huge bestseller, Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto. He didn't know it, but I had been waiting quite a while (in vain) for my local public library to buy its first copy of this book so I could borrow it from them and read it. Now I don't have to wait. But more inspiring than even this gift is the fact that young people like my son and his friends are conservatives and libertarians informed about current political events and active and persuasive in making their own reasoned views known. They are alarmed by Obama and the Democrats because they know exactly where such tax-and-spend, statist liberal policies lead--and why the politicians want to lead them there. There is hope for the future thanks to these younger Americans who are learning and not afraid to talk among themselves and across generations.
Story 3: Due to health concerns, I work out with a exercise trainer once a week. Over time as we chatted, we eventually realized we (and his Russian-emigre wife and partner) were long-time admirers of Ayn Rand and opponents of big-government statism. We have commiserated with and encouraged each other as we've seen the Obama administration reveal its philosophical bankruptcy and its corrupt grabbing for power to the intense detriment of our beloved country. Of course, we are no fans of similar trends among the Republicans in Washington, either. What seems unusual to me is that every week we exchange info on new developments, new resources, and new ways we can make a difference by being active and speaking out. As the situation in Washington grows more alarming and more ridiculous, I find my own activism growing too--fueled by the same inspiration in ordinary folks around me. The outspokenness is not just on the internet and the blogs, but in "real life" too, in a way I've never known before.
When there is this much at stake, people are talking, and that will be our salvation, I think.

I anticipate all the weddings that I photograph – especially since I’m talking to the bride and groom on and off for at least a year before the day finally rolls around. THIS day was even more anticipated. Not only did it kick off my 2019 wedding season, but it was also the first wedding I shot after having Zoe, AND I’d been emailing back and forth with Jess for what seemed like foreverrrr – I was so ready to meet these two!
Shoutout to my mother-in-law for making the drive up to the Cape to watch my then 5 1/2 week old daughter so I could take a day trip to Holyoke, MA – which was bout 2 1/2 hours away. I got to blast the music for the first time since having a baby and enjoyed every minute of the drive up that morning.
I walked in and immediately got a big hug and a gift bag from Jess – who found the freakin’ cutest baby onsie with a camera on it that they found and said they just had to get for me. *sniff* (my couples are THE best). From there, everything honestly went perfectly! It was cold, but it was GORGEOUS. Jordan and Jess were/are such a fun pair and they kept me + each other laughing/crying all day long. (those tears when Jess walked down the aisle, man. Not gonna lie, my postpartum emotional state was not ready.)
These two are so special, and it’s so obvious they love each other deeply. I’m so happy they’re each other’s husband and wife now. Never stop having fun. 🙂


I felt the starched walls
of a pink cotton penitentiary
closing in on me.
Novels are long and have plots and story arcs and subplots and things. But sometimes one single sentence or passage from a novel will stick with me for years.
Sometimes it’s because the language is poetic. In To Kill a Mockingbird, when Scout Finch’s aunt comes to stay, she tries to turn Scout into a little lady. Scout explains her situation thus: “I felt the starched walls of a pink cotton penitentiary closing in on me.” As a lifelong tomboy, this sentence speaks to me loud and clear.
Other times I’ll remember a passage that made me think about the universe in a new way. At one point in my life, my favorite book was Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh. I’ll never forget the nanny, Old Golly, proclaiming “There are as many ways to live as there are people in the world.”
A few years later I discovered Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness, a book that remains on my favorites list to this day. It not only shook up my thinking on gender, but also on political boundaries, when one of the characters asks a not-so-simple question:
“How does one hate a country, or love one? Tibe talks about it; I lack the trick of it. I know people, I know towns, farms, hills and rivers and rocks, I know how the sun at sunset in autumn falls on the side of a certain plowland in the hills; but what is the sense of giving a boundary to all that, of giving it a name and ceasing to love where the name ceases to apply?”
Finally, I have to admit I’m a sucker for scenes where a character quotes Shakespeare and pulls it off. I like this especially when it comes from an Average Joe type character, such Barnaby Gaitlin in Patchwork Planet by Ann Tyler. Barnaby goes through a bit of character development during the course of the story. Without giving spoilers for anyone who hasn’t read the book, there’s a scene where he recalls one poem he learned in school that he understood, a Shakespearean sonnet. He turns to another character, saying “Haply I think on thee.” You’d never predict the words coming from his mouth early in the book, but it so works by the time he says it.
Yeah, novels are long and there are big things in them: plots, story arcs and so on. But attention to detail is still important. Paying attention to getting the right words in the right order at the right place. It matters.


February brought running through the sprinkler days and playin' in the snow days, yes, all in one month! When the sun is out our girls think it is time for the pool. So the sun came out and bathing suits were on. They ran through the sprinklers and then a jump in the pool. Mattie was the only brave one and she jumped out faster than she jumped in and could barely catch her breath. Spring sprung with lots of trees and flowers in bloom and then the snow came. Quite a site to see daffodils, iris' and apricot blossoms covered in snow. We built a snowman and sledded in our own backyard. Mattie said, "It looks like we live in the mountains." We also had snow smoothies. Our friends blessed us with a bicycle and the girls have been enjoying learning to ride it with training wheels. Grandma was here to see and help them along too. The most exciting news of the month is that Mattie lost her first tooth! Her two bottom teeth have been loose for a while with her adult teeth growing up behind them. One morning she woke up and said her tongue felt funny. I just thought it was because she could feel under her tooth since it was so loose. A few minutes later Matthew says, "You lost your tooth!" So she either ate it with her morning oatmeal or swallowed it in her sleep. Her only worry was that the tooth fairy wouldn't come. We assured her that the tooth fairy new these kinds of things and would still come even if there was no tooth. She was very excited the next morning to find some money and a princess book with a note from the tooth fairy under her pillow. I am keeping my eye on Ches as she so desperately wants a tooth to fall out I am afraid she might just yank one!
Ches enjoying the sprinkles, as she calls them.
Oh to be a child enjoying the sun and some sprinklers!
Bathing beauties in February!
My favorite tree, tulip tree
Valentine's morning with heart shaped pancakes
Some cauliflower snow
Jammies, rain boots and snow
A little spring a little winter
A little snow smoothie
Winter wonderland, what is it about snow that makes everything so beautiful?


Our adorable chicks are ready to be living outside 24/7. They have grown their adult feathers and are ready for more freedom. We started with building a large 6’ X 16’ X 8’ run, and using their smaller, chick coop inside that.
We predator proofed the entire run; the walls, with boards to cover up and reinforce the staples. The roof was covered, and well sealed. And added predator protection was added similar to a “moat”. We lead mesh 2 feet out fro the coop, reinforced the connection and covered the staples with boards and then covered the mesh with a thick layer of mulch. No predators can dig under the coop!
We then repurposed a shed and turned it into their winter coop. We added ventilation, but blocked large draft, gave them perches, roosting boxes, and heat lamps to keep them warm all winter. The girls are all VERY happy with their beautiful coop and outdoor run!


Climate Of Corruption: Quebec’s $5.5 Billion Green Fund Looted For Pork Projects
When Ljiljana Latkovic was named to the council governing Quebec’s multibillion-dollar green fund in 2017, she thought she was going to use her science background to help choose projects aimed at fighting climate change.
Instead, Latkovic said she and the eight other council members were asked to sign off on proposals whose financing had already been approved by various government departments.
Moreover, she said, in the case of many projects they were approving, councilors had no idea how the projects were actually going to reduce emissions of the greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, that trap heat in the atmosphere, causing global temperatures to rise.
“My opinion is that the (environment) ministry didn’t care about the reductions,” Latkovic said in a recent interview.
Quebec’s green fund was created in 2006 as a way of collecting billions in revenues — in large part from the province’s version of a carbon tax — and redistributing the money towards initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
But the so-called green fund has been widely criticized as a boondoggle.
Quebec’s new environment minister, Benoit Charette, is promising reform, but he has a colossal task ahead of him. The province’s past mistakes highlight the difficulties of managing a multibillion-dollar fund to which various government departments have access.
Instead of promoting projects with strict greenhouse gas emission targets, the fund became a buffet for the pet projects of various ministers, Charette said.
“Unfortunately, yes,” Charette said in an interview when asked whether the fund was being misused. “Certain departments helped themselves to the fund, so to speak, without a guarantee of results on investments. And the previous government let this phenomenon go on like that, which made things even more deplorable.”
Charette said despite the billions of dollars collected since 2006, the reduction in greenhouse gases “was very small across the projects that were financed.”
Quebec collects hundreds of millions of dollars every year from a carbon credit cap-and-trade system.
Companies that emit high amounts of greenhouse gases are legally forced to purchase the right to release those gases into the atmosphere. Quebec sells emissions credits four times a year at auction.
Since its inception, almost $5.5 billion has been poured into the fund. And from the beginning, the program has been mismanaged, according to several reports from the province’s auditor general.
Various government departments used money in the fund to finance projects without calls for proposals or without specific criteria to evaluate greenhouse gas emissions reductions, the auditor general concluded.
In its 2019 report, the auditor general’s office said: “Nearly five years after the publication of our initial audit report on the green fund, we can only be disappointed with this situation.”
News reports over the years have indicated millions have been given to major oil companies and airlines for projects with dubious greenhouse gas reduction targets.
Maple syrup producers received hundreds of thousands of dollars to replace evaporation equipment. Millions of more dollars were given to taxi companies to help them adapt their vehicles for disabled people.
A spokesperson for the Liberals, the party that created the fund and managed it until they lost power last year, did not make anyone available to respond to the criticism.
Following harshly-worded reports on the fund’s governance by the auditor general, then-premier Philippe Couillard in 2016 created the council to oversee the distribution of money.
But Latkovic said that most of the time, her job consisted of rubber-stamping projects chosen by other departments.
The council chose about 10 to 15 percent of the projects that received financing, she said, while the rest were pre-approved elsewhere in the government.
“We wanted to know what we were signing for,” Latkovic said. “And some of the members wanted to resign because they didn’t know what was going on.”
Charette backed up Latkovic’s comments.
“It’s, unfortunately, true,” he said. “It’s really what was happening. We had a situation where the fund wasn’t being used to its potential. There was confusion regarding responsibilities. It’s what we want to correct.”
In June, Charette announced reforms he said would ensure the fund fulfills its mandate. First, the green fund is getting a new name. It will now be called the “electrification and climate change fund.”
Instead of the governing council on which Latkovic sits, Charette says the new fund will have a “committee of experts” who will oversee how money is distributed. Their reports will be public, he promised.
The fund will now be fully under the Environment Department, Charette said, and its minister will be accountable. “In the future, if there is a management problem we won’t need multiple searches to find out who is responsible,” he said.
Finally, Charette said, the auditor general’s office will be tasked with producing an annual report on the fund’s governance. “We consider this public money so it’s important that it’s properly managed,” he said.

In January of 1997, an otherwise nonviolent man under great stress at work brutally murdered his wife in their backyard. He then went back to bed, awakening only when police entered his home. He claimed to have no memory of the event because, while his body was awake at the time, his mind was not. He had been sleepwalking.
In The Twenty-four Hour Mind, sleep scientist Rosalind Cartwright brings together decades of research into the bizarre sleep disorders known as parasomnias to propose a new theory of how the human mind works consistently throughout waking and sleeping hours. Thanks to increasingly sophisticated EEG and brain imaging technologies, we now know that our minds do not simply "turn off" during sleep. Rather, they continue to be active, and research has indicated that one of the primary purposes of sleep is to aid in regulating emotions and processing experiences that occur during preceding waking hours. As such, when sleep is neurologically or genetically impaired or just too short, the processes that good sleep facilitates--those that usually have a positive effect on our mood and performance--can short circuit, with negative results that occasionally reach tragic proportions. Examining the interactions between conscious and unconscious forms of thinking as they proceed throughout the cycles of sleeping, dreaming, and waking, Cartwright demystifies the inner workings of the human mind that trigger sleep problems, how researchers are working to control them, and how they can apply what they learn to further our understanding of the brain. Along the way, she provides a lively account of the history of sleep research and the birth of sleep medicine that will initiate readers into this fascinating field of inquiry and the far-reaching implications it will have on the future of neuroscience. The Twenty-four Hour Mind offers a unique look at a relatively new area of study that will be of interest to those with and without sleep problems, as well as anyone captivated by the mysteries of the brain--and what sleep continues to teach us about the waking mind.

Rosalind D. Cartwright is Professor Emeritus of Rush University Medical Center's Graduate College Neuroscience Division, and was chair of the College's Department of Behavioral Sciences until 2008. In 1978 she founded the first Sleep Disorder Service and Research Center to be accredited in the state of Illinois. She is the author of numerous journal articles and several books, and has served as an expert witness in sleep-related criminal cases, including one murder trial.
"Professor Rosalind Cartwright is a true pioneer of sleep research. She was there in the field's formative years and her particular interest in the function and meaning of dreams is reflected in a record of high-quality scientific publications spanning more than four decades. In The Twenty-four HourMind, Cartwright describes both her research as well as that of many other sleep scientists in an exciting, eminently readable and thought provoking narrative. She examines numerous important and intriguing topics, including insomnia, depression, sleep walking, forensic sleep medicine and the role of dreams in human consciousness. In her Introduction, Cartwright writes, 'Come Along. I promise it will be an interesting ride.' The Twenty-four Hour Mind is a promise well kept!"--Michael V. Vitiello, University of Washington, Seattle, and Past President, Sleep Research Society "Rosalind Cartwright has been a leader among psychologists and psychiatrists trying to tease out the purpose of thoughts and images of dreams. Her excellence as a scientist and clinician has earned her the title of Queen of Dreams. Her book takes us across a panorama of laboratory studies and clinical areas. In a reader friendly fashion, she ranges from REM deprivation and dream categorizing studies to the diagnosis and treatment of insomnia, the role of depression in sleep, and the exotica of sleep walking and REM state aggression."--Wilse B. Webb, Department of Psychology, University of Florida "Cartwright's accounts of the earliest and most contemporary laboratory tests of the sleeping and dreaming mind are informative and absorbing; she has a personal, informal style that treats the reader to insights on the unfolding nature of experimental methods and of working with patients. Her descriptions of patients, perpetrators, and her participation as a witness for the defense are spellbinding. In the end, Cartwright entwines the threads of this narrative into a tapestry explaini

Your Gift Will Make Room for You
March 18, 2016
God has given each of us unique gifts with the purpose of influencing others. When fostered, nurtured and placed in the right environment, these gifts will grow and make room for us to really make an impact in our world. Though there is certainly no formula to leading a successful life, there are truths within the Word of God that are assured.
He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6 NKJV).
- We don’t need to be history minded, we need to be __________________ ___________________!
- It doesn’t matter how gifted you are, the _______________ you are put in will always limit you or launch you.
- How can two people be in the exact same environment but have completely different life outcomes?
- How was Moses set up for success?
- Moses understood he couldn’t do anything by ________________.
- To prophesy is to ___________ __________________.
The Lord has not forgotten you; He is merely preparing you to thrive when you arrive at your destination. If you feel stuck and unseen, take heart. The Gift-giver will open the door at the perfect time. And when you step in, you will look like Christ, which is the greatest accolade any of us could ever achieve.

Mailing List: lists.xenproject.orgThe Xen Project is a Linux Foundation collaborative project that develops the Xen Hypervisor (for x86 and ARM), the XAPI toolstack and the Mirage OS Cloud Operating system.
- Implement Xen PVUSB support in xl/libxl toolstack I am a second-year master student at Shanghai Jiao Tong university. Having worked as an intern in Intel, Shanghai, I am quite familiar with xen, qemu, git. I am really interested in implementing Xen PVUSB support in xl/libxl toolstack and I am confident that I can accomplish this. Hope this can be my opportunity to enter the exciting open source development community.
- Lazy Restore Using Memory Paging VM save/restore functionality is one of the most commonly used in Clouds and Virtualization platforms. The current implementation of VM save/restore in Xen results in loading the entire memory image of the VM from the save file which in turns slows down the entire process. I plan to improve this process by introducing the concept of Lazy restore and using memory paging.
- MirageOS cloud API support OCaml bindings to public cloud APIs, as well as a Mirage app that uses the API.
- Parallel xenwatch kthread I am a past OPW intern (round 6). During my internship, I worked to parallelize the x86 boot process. This meant understanding and modifying very low level bring up code. I contributed 34 patches to the 3.11 kernel. I would like to keep contributing to Linux kernel and I am interested in parallel xenwatch kthread project. I took operation systems, distributed systems and applications classes last year, so I have basic understanding on locks. I think I am qualified for this project.
- Xen Hypervisor-- HVM per-event-channel interrupts Modify Xen to allow each event channel to be bound to a separate interrupt (the association being controlled by the PV drivers in the guest) to allow separate event channel interrupts to be handled by separate vCPUs. There should be no modifications required to the guest OS interrupt logic to support this (as there is with the current Linux PV-on-HVM code) as this will not be possible with a Windows guest.


Letter to the Editor of The Ithaca Journal
August 12, 2015
By Tony Del Plato & Gabriel Shapiro
On behalf of Moosewood, Inc. the 19 owners of Moosewood Restaurant unanimously join over 300 businesses and municipalities in the Finger Lakes in opposition to the Crestwood, Inc. plans to store up to 2.10 million barrels (88.20 million gallons) of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in salt caverns along the west shore of Seneca Lake just north of Watkins Glen. We are opposed to plans to turn this region into the northeast US hub for gas distribution. Increased railroad and truck traffic as well as breaks in pipelines would put us all at risk.
Crestwood’s plans or any plans that expand the fossil fuel infrastructure within our state, not only pose enormous risks for our safety, but will be obsolete within 20-40 years as New York transforms its energy profile to 100% renewable sources.
Food, wine, education, tourism and natural beauty drive the economy in the heart of New York state. The Finger Lakes draws people the world over to its vibrant and creative culture which includes farms, parks, the arts, high tech companies, universities and colleges.
Moosewood has been developing a sustainable business for more than 42 years and we, the shareholders are happy to join our neighbors who say yes to a fossil free future. Clean air and water matter. A lifestyle that brings more health and harmony to our lives matters.

At industry conferences you hear it all the time. The first day is all about friends connecting and sharing their successes since they last saw each other. Over dinner and wine, or maybe the next day, you start to hear the challenges they are facing such as fewer clients, lower compensation, more hours, and administrative team breakdowns.
Practitioners that have been in the business more than half-a-dozen years have seen these ups and downs of market driven forces, and they no longer try to address the symptoms, but rather the underlying cause. Understanding that the end user client is no longer responding to the message that we used to have is the key component to turning our practices back to those successful days. Realizing that this will happen as a cycle for our businesses many times over the next decades will help us be better positioned as our service industry continues to evolve.
The simple solution, if we choose to look at it this way, is a combination of messaging and what we call “Stewardship Marketing.” Though we may have fallen in love with the processes, technical knowledge, and team support we are currently using in our practices, if the end user client is no longer listening and or buying with as much vigor, it likely means we need to adjust our methods.
Successful messaging is, and always will be, no more than paying attention to what the client is listening to now, what they need, what their centers of influence are willing to talk to those clients about, and delivering a “product and strategy” or “benefit and process” message. The trick is having that center of influence see your role in helping them help their clients – and adjusting your message accordingly. An effective message is likely not about the products or strategies you may use as the eventual solutions – but is rather about the benefit the end user is looking for and the process that you use (or you and the advisor use together) to help.
Marketing comes in many forms: direct/retail marketing, wholesale marketing to the advisors of clients, and marketing to a blend of those together. The easiest client to get is the one you already have, the next is the one you had before, next are those that come from a center of influence, and lastly those that you never met and spend effort trying to get. Why do most practitioners spend the majority of their time marketing for the most difficult relationships to obtain?
At the end of the day, we desire to be in front of a client offering a path to a solution, and gaining the client’s agreement for compensation. The glitch is often just getting the client into the room with an open mindset. As an established practice, Stewardship Marketing can be the answer and is rewarding from the standpoints of time, return, finance, and enjoyment. If done well, your past and current clients as well as referral sources will be re-energized and thrilled to work with you again and again. Once you have laid out your new or refined message, it is a matter of determining what you will say, how you will say it, and where you will say it.
Stewardship Marketing only suggests that we establish a method of being in front of our current and past clients and referral sources on a regular basis in a manner that delivers our message, and leads to revenue from helping. One method is to simply reverse engineer our interactions. If our best client engagements are the result of times that we are at an event where we are highlighted and deliver our message, why not regularly offer that type of event to advisors and clients? At these events we can not only deliver our message, but also suggest a private meeting to help. To complete the “engineering” we now do not ask for business or deliver our complete message at every encounter, but instead offer to have an old friend come to one of our social or business gatherings as a stepping stone – leaving the private meeting offer for later.
Let’s invite prospective clients and advisors as well. With the many social and business events that we attend every month, we are not at a loss for where to deliver our refined message to new relationships. When we find ourselves debating whether to ask indirectly for business, we can instead utilize the above stepping stones. It is a matter of having those established small business and social events consistently on our calendar, and remembering that at events we simply attend, we should be inviting potential clients and centers of influence to our stepping stone events. When we leave the private meeting offer until later, as a delayed result, it may well deliver a greater and more consistent close rate.
Is it simple? We just need to realize that the message we used to have about the processes and technical knowledge has changed. We must now listen to our end user clients and referral sources to find out what is important to them, adjust our practices, and deliver our refined message in intentional venues large and small. Through a consistent process, one event should lead to the next and then regularly to those great moments when we get the opportunity to offer help for compensation.

It was a tough year for Tudor Investment Corp., while two other prominent hedge funds managed to salvage a difficult year for the industry.
Tudor's Tensor Fund lost 10.27% last year, according to Dealbreaker. The fund fell 0.08% in December. News wasn't all bad for Tudor, as its Momentum Fund managed to beat industry indices, which lost about 4% last year, with a loss of just 2.74% on the year after surging 2.1% last month.
Renaissance Technologies' Institutional Equities Fund was among the best-performing hedge funds of 2011. Its Institutional Futures Fund can't make that claim, but the vehicle did post a positive return, rising 1.77% after giving back 1.56% in December.
Also suffering a disappointing year, relatively, was SAC Capital Advisors veteran Ping Jiang. Ping Capital's Exceptional Value Fund, which posted triple-digit returns in both 2009 and 2010, managed to end 2011 in the black, soaring 7.21% in December to finish the year up 1.79%.


We suffer consequences of the government. If the US government found it quixotic to start a nuclear war, millions will die. Just picture it, in that nuclear war, would your family really deserve to die just because some White House residents decided to be hooligans with the power of bombs beyond their merit? I don’t think so, I believe that We the People deserve to live. If foreign governments have beef with our government, then why should We the People suffer its’ consequences? Let the politics kill each other. Not us the People. We don’t run the U.S. So why should we be hated by other countries? Some of us just want peace. To aqquire peace, we must reach a compromise. This world’s government seems to have never been taught what compromise is. A compromise is, by definition, “an agreement or a settlement of a dispute reached by each side making concessions.” Now, the definition of concessions is, “a thing granted, especially in response to demands.” Just ponder about it.

week in review digest
Empty'Sopranos' enjoys big last meal
The series finale of "The Sopranos" drew 11.9 million viewers to HBO on Sunday night to see what happened to TV's favorite mobsters, according to Nielsen Media Research (HR 6/13). It was the highest rating for a "Sopranos" episode since the Season 5 opener March 7, 2004, when 12.1 million viewers watched. The record was the Season 4 premiere Sept. 15, 2002, when 13.4 million tuned in. The final nine episodes of "Sopranos" averaged 8.2 million viewers to rank as the lowest-rated season since the second season drew 6.6 million viewers. Sunday's finale drew a mixed reaction from critics and viewers, who either liked the ambiguity or didn't like that the final shot was of Tony Soprano eating a quiet dinner with his family.
Par Oz unit makes first pickup
SYDNEY — Paramount Pictures Australia last week announced its first distribution acquisition in the territory since the relaunch of the Paramount brand here — privately financed independent Australian feature "The Final Winter" (HR 6/15). Written by Matt Nable, who also stars in the film, co-directed by Brian Andrews and Jane Forrest and co-produced by Anthony Coffey and Michelle Russell, "The Final Winter" is the personal story of a man who is coming to the end of his football career in the 1980s — a time when changes to the game brought about by new money and ambition were challenging the old loyalties in sports in Australia.
Weisz connected to DW 'Bones'
Rachel Weisz has signed on to star in Peter Jackson's adaptation of "The Lovely Bones" for DreamWorks (HR 6/13). Based on Alice Sebold's 2002 best-seller, the story is told through the voice of Susie Salmon, a young girl who is murdered but continues to observe her family on Earth after her death. She witnesses the impact of her loss on her loved ones while her killer skillfully covers his tracks and prepares to murder again. Weisz will play the mother of the dead girl, a role that Jackson and his writing team of Philippa Boyens and Fran Walsh are expanding in their adaptation.
Animax takes anime to Aussie mobiles
SYDNEY — Sony Pictures Television International has launched its Animax channel as a stand-alone mobile service on Hutchison Telecommunications' 3 service in Australia, SPTI executive vp programming and production international networks Marie Jacobsen said Thursday (HR 6/15). The Australian launch of Animax Mobile is the first in a global strategy to roll out a dedicated mobile version of the studio's Japanese anime channel, which airs on cable and satellite platforms across Asia, Latin America, Central Europe and Germany. Animax does not air as a cable or satellite channel in Australia. A Canadian launch will follow in July with Bell Mobility. The channel offers a two-hour loop of four full-length anime series — "Blood+," "Last Exile," "ROD the TV" and "The Count of Monte Cristo" — as well as unique interstitial material.


Back in August 2016, we shared the uniquely awkward moment in which “heartthrob of the Olympics” Pita Taufatofua was accosted by Al Roker, Hoda Kotb, and Jenna Bush during a cringeworthy Today Show segment.
The clip featured the soul-drinkingly chirpy trio smearing palmfuls of coconut oil all over the shirtless flag-bearer and Taekwondo fighter, while he appears frozen in an otherworldly thrall of discomfort.
Days after, another Today Show personality lured Taufatofua into even more smeary shenanigans: Alex Ficquette (aka Alex on the Plaza) asked Taufatofua if he’d be willing to demonstrate how to best apply coconut oil to one’s own physique — y’know, in order to better show off their gleaming musculature. Because, much like masturbation, it’s just not the sort of thing one should learn to do alone.
Here’s a taste of that dialogue, in case you haven’t committed it to heart:
“Where do I start? What do I do?” Ficquette airily wondered.
“Okay, it’s magic stuff. As soon as it touches your skin…”
“Muscles grow. 100%… 100% better.”
Well, now you can look forward to Taufatofua causing any number of reporters to stammer, stutter, walk confidently into lampposts and oncoming traffic, trip over turnstiles, etc.: He’s just qualified for the Winter Games — as a cross-country skier.
To celebrate this banner occasion, we thought we’d take the opportunity to ransack Pita Taufatofua‘s Instagram account.
Here is the (low-hanging) fruit of our labors:

Wilton, Marten, Wexcombe and West Grafton are all part of the parish of East Grafton. We currently hold two communion services a month. Key services in the church year (Christmas Day, Easter, Remembrance Sunday) are attended by significantly high numbers which reflects the breadth of support from this rural community, most of which are the farming families who continue to be our mainstay of support.
As a community of five villages, a wide range of people (who may not be “churchgoers”) contribute enthusiastically to community activities in the local village hall and in church holding events such as Winter Warmers Lunch, Suppers on Burns Night and St Georges Day and Harvest Suppers. For the last Remembrance Day celebration, representatives from all 5 villages worked together to transform the village dike and green into a trench and battlefield complete with replica army vehicles which made an incredible impact on the general atmosphere of the day. Our desire is for the church to find ways to build on this spirit of mutual support and co-operation to encourage and enable others to recognise and receive the love God has for every individual in this community.

Well I hear you want a ratin',
of that series of games of Catan.
They all take place on an island or more,
in Seafarers there can be more islands than four!
In some games the Sea plays a big role
and without it the board wouldn't be whole!
In others it is less useful then air,
and the Ports are the things that need to be there!
The Desert is the place that the Robber hangs out,
if someone rolls a seven then they give him a shout.
He runs onto a hex that is at least a bit developed,
and after that the aforementioned hex in robbery is enveloped.
Although in most games the robber is where it ends,
in Cities and Knights you meet the Barbarians, his friends.
If you are short on knights they will wreck and pillage,
going for cities instead of an ordinary village.
I knew a lady knight on Catan once and not a thing could stop her,
I won't even TRY to count the number of times she repulsed the robber!
But at last she met her end from something way out of her league,
she was sent away by the blue progress card, Intrigue.
Cataners build a lumber boat and put some sheep aboard,
then sail away to a new island to start a settlement hoard.
They then call it a trade route with no trade goods aboard the ship,
and the whole thing goes Ka-plooie if just one of the sails rip.
If a seven is rolled and you have more then seven cards,
unless you have a city wall you take it pretty hards!
With a city wall for resources nine cards is your limit,
and if you don't build one instantly you're nothing but a dimwit!
The yellow gates are Metropolises, the McDonalds of Catan,
and if you ever get a Metropolis, well, it is fate, then.
They are worth two victory points and are stealable at first,
but if you have a red 6 you're so happy you could burst!
Trade goods are those extra things you get from wood, sheep and ore,
but they are only in Cities and Knights, none of the games before.
They let you get an aqueduct that gets your resources all wet,
and they are worth their while, at least that's what I'll bet!
I could go on much longer but we're running out of room,
I think I should end this song with Little Cat Z's VOOM!
And the question was if we should buy any games of Catan,
well I'm not sure, we should decide, let's get down to debating!

- A Router with Tomato Firmware installed
- A computer with a LAN card that supports Wake-On-Lan
- Iphone/Ipod Touch or any phone with Wifi and a web browser ( I haven't tested others yet)
Ok, since you have landed on this blog, I assume that you are already familiar with the Tomato firmware. It is a free custom Linux based firmware written especially for most Boardcom chipset based routers. It can easily turn your $30 router to a $300 router if you know how to install it. You can easily search Google to find out if your router supports it, and you can also Google instructions on how to install it. There is a large community on custom firmwares that try to make it do different things everyday. Ok so after you have installed the Tomato firmware, you would automatically notice that tomato supports WOL automatically. Basically it is the use of a network card to turn on the computer when you have access to the network. When you want to turn on a computer, a magic packet is broadcast on the network to reach your target computer. However it is mostly a pain to enable that feature on your computer. I am using Asrock M3A790GXH/128M for this exercise. So here are the steps.
1. Install and configure tomato to work properly
2. Enable WOL on your computer. In my case, you have to goto BIOS and enable "PCI device Power On" in the power menu. This might be different for your setup, but the principle is the same. Try to Google your specific motherboard/LAN card for instructions.
3. Boot into windows/Mac/Linux and note down the Mac address of your network card. Also note the name of the computer you want to turn on, in my case it is "server". Then turn it off.
4.If you have used this computer extensively on your tomato router, it should remember the Mac address of your computer.
5.Now here is the fun part, use your iphone on the same network on your computer and goto the Safari browser. Goto the IP address of the Tomato router and goto the admin menu. In there you can see the WOL option which looks something like below.
6. Click on the target computer with the name "server" or the one with your target computer name. If it is not on the list, then you can enter it manually in the space below.
Wait for your computer to Beep and turn on right in front of you. Now you can turn on your computer from the comfort of your sofa simply because you don't want to walk that extra distance or if you want to brag about it(I know I will) or just because you know that you can. Now image what you can do with DDNS, VPN setup on the tomato, you can go anywhere and turn on your computer with the tip of your finger.
