The blog seems super sewing oriented at the moment- this is not a bad thing!
Not to judge a book by its cover (I TOTALLY AM), but isn't it stylish?
The book moves through the patterns and projects at an increasing skill level, which I like. It's really aimed at newbies (although experienced sewers will find lots to get their teeth into, particularly the dresses.) I already have a really cool fabric lined up for these PJ bottoms- a navy cotton with an Indian-style, hot pink peacock feathers print. Oh yes!
Requirements are really clearly detailed, which is good- I have been known to go into fabric shops with a vague description of what it is!
Tilly's instructions are clear (also- see that yellow nail polish?I think I need it…
If you want to buy the book- and you should!

Q: how to use vuex in vue components? I have a vuex example project:
    computed: { message: () => store.message }
const state = { message: "Hello World" };
const getters = { message: state => state.message };
The {{message}} placeholder is replaced with empty string instead of "Hello World". How to use vuex in vue components?
A: First, make sure to include the store in your Vue instance, as in:
new Vue({ el: '#app', store });
And now when you inject the store in the Vue instance, it is automatically available to all of your child components - meaning you don't need to import it, rather just use it like this in your component:

"La Jetée" famously inspired "12 Monkeys."
Rudely awakened from the experiment, the Man finds out that the past was merely a test run and it's the future where he must go to find the elixir for the scorched Earth. But even if he is able to locate the antidote to apocalypse a thousand years hence, there will be no cure for him. After all, what good is tomorrow to someone who's been poisoned with sweet dreams of perfecting yesterday?


2% takeout, 4% to the sending track, 4% to the horsemen and 4% to the bet-taker.
Of course, in the murky world of NY politics, you may be right that an increased cut for the sending track will result in increased takeoutre are quite a few places offering lower take to non whales. If a fee is upped 2%, the 2% comes from the margin of the ADW. They wont change their profit margin, so most is absorbed by the player. Right now there is a big squeeze going on as fees are upped. I think "real" takeout is probably 1% or 2% higher than a couple fo years ago.

We'll these days, if you cant make it to that track, you use your computer, mobile device, home telephone, television to place your bets. My grandfather knows how to use a cell phone. OTBs were a thing of the 70's. Get rid of them or have NYRA run them. Too much useless competition. They are ruining the industry. Lets face it, if NY goes down..the entire sport goes down with it.

In the last two years, with profits on the decline, New York City's Offtrack Betting Corporation spent $20,000 to remodel an executive bathroom, almost $3,000 for flowers and $1,050 for political contributions, former employees and City Council investigators said. </s> Abstract: In this report, we describe Henneguya arapaima n. sp., a parasite of the gill arch and gall bladder of Arapaima gigas (pirarucu) collected in the Araguaia River, in the municipality of Nova Crixas, Goias State, central Brazil. The plasmodia were white, round or ellipsoidal and measured 200-600 mu m. Parasite development was asynchronous and the mature spores were fusifonn and had smooth wall. The spores measurements were (range, with means +/- S.D. in parentheses): total length-48.4-53.1 mu m (51.6 +/- 3.4 mu m), body length-13.5-15.2 mu m (14.2 +/- 0.8 mu m), body width-5.1-6.1 mu m (5.7 +/- 0.5 mu m), body thickness-4.7-5.3 mu m (4.9 +/- 0.2 mu m) and caudal process length-38.0-41.2 mu m (38.3 +/- 2.9 mu m). The 6.3-6.8 mu m (6.5 +/- 0.2) and 6.2-6.6 mu m (6.3 +/- 0.1) f1.4-1.6 mu m (1.5 +/- 0.1). Histological analysis showed that the plasmodia occurred in the tunica adventitia of the gall bladder and were delimited by a thin capsule of connective tissue. In the gill arch, the plasmodia were also surrounded by connective tissue similar to the endomesium, of striated skeletal muscle cells. Sixty-five juvenile specimens of A. gigas weighing 1.0-25.0 kg were examined, 17 (26.1%) of which were infected. Of these, 14 (82.3%) had cysts in the gall bladder, two (11.7%) had cysts in the gill arch and only one (5.9%) had cysts in both organs. When the fish were grouped by weight, the prevalence of infection in fish weighing up to 10.0 kg (20.7%) was significantly lower than in fish weighing 10.1-25.0 kg (50%) (G = 3.93; d.f. = 1; p < 0.05)Atwattwatccolade needed a comprehensive, flexible LMS that could capture and sustain user interest. “We wanted to be able to engage our employees, to do more than just send out a course and track if somebody had completed it or not,” said Parsell. Any new solution also had to be compatible with Workday and scalable to meet the company’s growing talent needs.
Increased employee preparedness. Since implementing Cornerstone, Accolade has seen an increase in new hire readiness. “Today, our team comes out of the onboarding experience, well prepared for what their job is going to feel like every day,” said Seplow. “We have a higher percentage of employees becoming client-ready, meaning that they’re out of training and they’re able to take calls on their own, then we’ve ever had before.
Streamlined content sharing and standardized messaging. With Cornerstone, Accolade can reuse curriculum and enable content sharing across business units. “When we developed our regional sales executives’ curriculum, we were able to take a lot of those materials and put that into a curriculum for other departments,” said Parsell. Reusing and sharing content across departments also eliminates the risk of creating redundant or off-message content. </s> ExtensionTax.com – One Website for all your Extension Filings!!form 8868, efiling Efile 4868, Extension form4, 2019 by TaxExpert.

Help with Binary and Characters?
I am utterly confused now. I know how to convert decimal numbers into binary but sometimes I see that character can also be converted into binary. Is that possible? Could someone give me a tiny example? Or a link?
And also what is actually meant by byte data? Like format of binary data is in 0's and 1's What format is byte data in?
Where did you see "character can also be converted into binary". I suspect this is referring to the fact that all characters are stored as numbers. These numbers only represent characters because (at least in Java), the Unicode character set is used to determine which number maps to each character. Ultimately all data in the computer is stored as binary, so the Unicode values are stored as binary.
Of course, this is just a guess. It would help if you can provide a quote so that we can see the context of this statement. Similarly, you should provide some context for the phrase "byte data".

1. Locate a file (or folder) where the file path will contain an ampersand `&`, and open it in VS Code.  Then close it. (closing is optional though)
2. Look for this item in the 'Open Recent' sub menu of the 'File' menu.  The `&` character will b8668614-7ce38380-eab7-11e8-825e-92856e55f12d.png)
In this image, I am showing the editor 'hello && there.txt' open, and the bottom is part of the 'Open Recent' menu with the last line showing the same file without the '&&'.  Also, the first folder shown, is missing a '&', as it should have read '...\&%^ Test Repo\...'
This is a well known issue with Windows Applications.  I write a bug report for almost every application I use, for this very issue, as I almost always have a use to open a file that possesses a `&` in the path.  The `&` character is used by the normal Windows menu system to designate the access key.  Normally, to include an actual `&` in the menu, you would use double `&`, but if you open a file in Code with two `&` in a row they are both removed.  Most all application programmers forget to escape the `&` out of the file names/paths before they put them in menu's (or sometimes from other user input locations in other kinds of applications as well).  For instance, even WordPad in Win 10 1809, and Word 2016 fail to show the `&` in the tool tip in the recent menu.  However, here, I am not sure what is going on.

Summer of Shakespeare: 'Fear no more the heat o' the sun'
By Doni Wilson, for the Houston Chronicle
June 15, 2015 Updated: June 15, 2015 5:12pm
In the 2015 Houston Shakespeare Festival, Mirron Willis (shown here as Henry IV) will play Shylock....
Friday was the big kick-off for the Summer of Shakespeare — a lineup of performances and book groups sponsored by the Brazos Bookstore. I got there early, browsed at the book table that was loaded with Macbeth and The Merchant of Venice, both of which the Houston Shakespeare Festival will perform free at Miller Outdoor Theatre this summer.
The selection of Macbeth seems perfectly timed, especially with the hype over the upcoming to the usual suspects, such as No Fear Shakespeare, there were also well-respected biographies of the Bard, such as Stephen Greenblatt's Will in the World, as well as some novelizations such as Erica Jong's Shylock's Daughter, and the intriguing Dark Aemilia, by Sally O'Reilly, which contains an origin story of Macbeth embedded in the narrative as well as a reimagining of the "Dark Lady" of Shakespeare's sonnets. Amusingly, there was also Barry Kraft's Shakespeare Insult Generator, just in case you need a literary comeback that packs a punch.
All these books were reminders that Shakespeare is still an important cultural frame of reference, both high-brow and low, the last bastion of the literary canon, the guy who can bring us to our knees or make us laugh out loud, even in the diction of the long-gone Renaissance to a full house at the Brazos Bookstore. Suzelle Palacios, a recent graduate of the University of Houston acting program, started off asking if we could be compared to a summer's day. Soon, she will head off to more theater studies at the Old Globe Program in San Diego.

In the 2015 Houston Shakespeare Festival, Tracie Thomason will play Lady MacBeth....
Festival executive director Jim Johnson and actress Carolyn Johnson (who happens to be his wife) presented sonnets on procreation and aging, and I had a moment when I realize how Shakespeare really is timeless: He calls wrinkles "trenches," thinks "forty winters" means you are old, but he can be funny about it. When repeating a sonnet about love, Carolyn reminded us that "there is nothing outdated about what is going on here," and she is correct. Kat Cortez delivered a sonnet on the immortalizing power of the sonnet itself, Shakespeare protesting that not even marble can compete with the lasting power of the poem.
Liz Wright, who works at Brazos Bookstore, performed as well as her acting comrades as she almost recited Sonnet 23 ("As an unperfect actor on the stage....") It was her Shakespeare society "family" sonnet when she attended Wellesley, and she even wears a ring with "23" engraved in Roman numerals to commemorate that poem.
Jim Johnson reminded us of the sonnet structure — the power of rhyme, and the meter might be in iambic pentameter on the page, but if you are an actor on the stage, "you need to mess with it." Otherwise, you get a little too predictable.
He performed Sonnet 29 — my favorite, because if you are in disgrace with "fortune" or "men's eyes," you don't feel quite so bad about it — you can always think about your beloved and bounce back. Jim tells us that sonnets are "problem, solution, summary," and you cannot help but marvel at the efficiency of the form.
Some of the actors sing Shakespearean lyrics — astress's eyes are nothing like the sun," Shakespeare had put that line into a poem. Jim treated us to the confession that he "speaks sarcasm fluently" and then presented Sonnet 57 (which begins ) in the poutiest way possible. I can't wait to translate that into contemporary English and try it out on someone.
If this engaging kick-off performance is any indication of what is to come, then "fear no more the heat o' the sun" and see the performers again later this summer at the Houston Shakespeare Festival, now in its 41st season). I am not sure about getting thee to a nunnery, but you might want to get to Miller Outdoor Theatre, where a rotating repertory of free performances of Macbeth and The Merchant of Venice will run July 31 through August 9.
In the meantime, there will be a performance by the same actors performing the soliloquies on July 24 at the Brazos Bookstore, as well as scenes for kids on August 8. Book groups on Macbeth, The Merchant of Venice, and The Tempest are also offered  free performances of MacBeth and The Merchant of Venice, July 31-Aug. 9, at Miller Outdoor Theatre, visit the Houston Shakespeare Festival.

A new version of the rules I've been using for the "Battle of Trollford" convention games is here! They're based on the no longer available “ONE PAGE FANTASY SKIRMISH” by John David Slor, but reshaped for Viking saga skirmishing with several additions: morale, shield walls, different ranges for missile weapons, extra wounds, basing suggestions and "death worthy of a song". And, yes, they're FREE!
RAVENFEST is meant for clashes of warbands; about 20 figures per player. A short list of example stats are given and may be completely ignored, as rules for creating stats for your figures are included. Fantasy elements are also there, but optional. The basic game has been distilled down to only 2 pages.
Labels: miniatures, RAVENFEAST, Sagas, Viking
This was one of the unwanted figures of an lot won on an online auction. You'll notice that it was painted before the whole reason the lot was bid upon to begin with. It's not a bad figure - actually, it's quite good. Sandra Garrity always delivers, and the whole Arnohld as Conan vibe works. But the sword blade was broken off. A day or three in purple stuff can get rid of a bad paint job, but bits broken off means more planning. Another sword? An Axe? A mace? Couldn't decide. And it would have sat in a little drawer for thirty years but for Doctor Merkury running a playtest for his science-fantasy skirmish project: "Age of Saints"!
Figure mounted on a 25mm diameter wooden disk.
Painting: Primed white, then hit the exposed flesh with beige red. Inside the mouth was black and the teeth were white. Fur and hair were black, then drybrushed with German grey. Bindings for the leggings were German grey. Eyes were white with black dots. Belt, circlet and bracer were yellow ocher, then bronze. Jewel in circlet was white, then metallic red.
The blade was the tricky part. Neon paint? Not that I haven't gamed under black lights before, but that was the '70's. Just paint it red? Then it would look like a red boken, not a plasma blade. Decided to paint it with red ink, then wash away the middle half of the blade with a paintbrush dipped in water. Most of the ink came away, but the color in the tiny depressions stayed. Cool! As close to Jack Kirby as I was going to get! A bit more red ink towards the tip and grip, and finished! The rest of the sword was yellow ocher, then bronze.
The base was covered with a slurry of ballast, sand, PVA glue and water before priming and painted with medium gray. The facing lozenge was white, then red ink, yellow ocher, then bronze, and outlined with black.
The entire figure was then dipped with a concoction of polyurethane clear gloss varnish and Tudor, except for the blade. That was covered with plain polyurethane clear gloss varnish. The base was flocked with patches of PVA glue, static grass and flock. Finally, the entire figure was sprayed with clear matte.

Short review - Even though it was in color and in focus: don't. Just don't. I really wanted to like this movie, but couldn't. If you absolutely must see it, wait until it hits the $1 overnight rental or your public library.
Instead of groaning on about this, I'll just list some of the thoughts that were going through my head while watching this movie.
Remember all these faces, kids, 'cause they're all gonna die - one at a time and in great pain!
We waited 30 years for this?
*Like 8-tracks and pet rocks, this too shall pass. Unless 3D evolves to a point where it doesn't require glasses, stops inflicting headaches on the paying public to create its illusions, no longer requires a premium and, dare I say, some worthwhile programming, it shall remain a novelty that doesn't justify the added expense or aggravation.

Weird War 2: German Powered Armor
And another in-production and readily available figure! This time from Northstar Military Figures - Projekt X: PX1007 - Power Armour Soldat http://www.northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=3597.
Figure is 1/48th scale, but, as it's powered armor, being ever so slightly bigger doesn't matter. Mounted on a 25mm round plastic base.
Painting: Decided to go with formal black instead of pea-dot camo. Primed black, then painted black. Some of the exposed mechanisms were gunmetal. Hellhound red for trim and silver for the sigils. Lime green for the lenses in the helmet and any exposed gauges. The machine gun was German grey, then gunmetal, and the stock was dark brown, then mahogany. The black parts were then lightly drybrushed with German grey. The base was puttied flat before priming, then painted flat earth. The facing lozenge was red outlined with black.
The entire figure was then dipped in polyurethane clear gloss varnish. The base was flocked with patches of PVA glue and flock and static grass. Finally, the entire figure was sprayed with clear matte.
Suitable for Weird War 2, Pulp Super Science, Gamma World, Mutant Future, Metamorphosis Alpha, or any other Post Apocalyptic/Science Fiction game. Paint it Afrika Korps yellow for PA, and white to repel the 1947 expedition of Admiral Byrd and 4,000 well-armed friends into Neuschwabenland.
Finally saw the CAPTAIN AMERICA movie. Good time was had and the DVD is definitely going into the collection! (Take that endorsement as you will, considering that a copy of Soul Cinema's BLACULA and SCREAM, BLACULA, SCREAM double feature DVD was purchased, today. Only 5 bucks at le Mart du Kay!) But, was I the only one who felt the urge to watch SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW afterward?

Observation - Rebellious Youth
Each new generation of youth tries to upset its predecessors by dressing inappropriately, behaving unacceptably and listening to music they claim as their own. The current trend of relaxing dress codes means that no one has the need to fear being under-dressed for any occasion. The totalitarian enforcement of political correctness and universal acceptance allows even the most egregious faux pas to be met with, at worst, strained tolerance. With the advent of digital media, “old” music no longer fades into obscurity, but may be retained throughout the life of the listener. Soon the youth of the world, in a fit of desperation, may only have one avenue of rebellion: practicing behavior learned from American situational comedies of the 1950’s while clad in dinner jackets and cocktail dresses with Mel Tormé playing softly in the background.

SUNDER THE STARS: 3rd Playtest!
Click on images for bigger picture!
This was the third playtest for SUNDER THE STARS held two weeks ago at Comic Store West with the Army Group York miniature wargaming group. In play were optional terrain items - a large planet, three gas clouds (-1 to hit per hex) and two each of dust clouds (-2 to hit per hex) and asteroid fields (-2 to hit per hex AND a chance of colliding with something unpleasant). Zach had brought some handmade terrain to liven up my rather flat paper terrain with the pertinent rules printed on them to speed play. We had three hours, so the optional shield setting rules were dispensed with as the rules needed to be taught and the game played to conclusion by closing time.
A new group of players had chosen the same old adversaries: the Grand Terran Imperium vs. the League of the Star Wolves. Yes, the Wedgians and the Vikings were at it again! No love for the Buggians?
For the Wedgians ~ 50 points of ships for each player.
Commodore Tony - Battleship, Medium Cruiser and 2 Frigates.
Captain Dieter - Medium Cruiser, 2 Destroyers and 2 Frigates.
For the Vikings ~ 50 points of ships for each player.
Jarl Zach - Battleship, Medium Cruiser and 2 Frigates.
Shipmaster Thomas - Medium Cruiser, 2 Destroyers and 2 Frigates.
The teams rolled off and the Vikings had to set up first. They divided their forces for any eventuality. The Wedgians then deployed their fleet - all to one side and away from the Viking battleship!
By the end of the first turn, the Wedgians had sunk a Viking cruiser and frigate, while Shipmaster Thomas dispatched one Wedgian cruiser, a frigate and damaged another frigate. Both sides attacked then tried to take advantage of available cover. Jarl Zack's forces were too far away to aid his sword-brother.
The Wedgians had dispatched a Viking destroyer and frigate while Shipmaster Thomas sank a Wedgian frigate and had bloodied both of their destroyers and another frigate. Fear not, brave Thomas! Your Jarl had not forsaken you!
Well, maybe there was a little forsaking. With Shipmaster Thomas' last destroyer out of the way, Commodore Tony sent his battleship to deal with the smaller units of Jarl Zack's remaining fleet while the surviving elements of both his and Captain Dieter's forces hunted the Viking battleship - which meant they had to abandon the "Dray Maneuver" and left the cover of the gas clouds for open felt.
VENGEANCE! The Wedgian battleship was sunk and their cruiser heavily damaged in the storm of direct fire and homing weapons from the remains of the Viking fleet! Jarl Zack's flagship withstood withering Wedgian attacks without a scratch! For the sake of Wedgians with delicate constitutions, any further images shall be withheld. The Vikings swept the skies of the remaining enemy vessels.
Two hours and fifteen minutes from setup and teaching the rules to the end of the game, with time left for a leisurely breakdown and after-game kibitzing.
Tony and Dieter took advantage of deploying after their opponents by concentrating their forces against one enemy group and making use of available cover. Thomas had a desperate fight to delay the Wedgians long enough to allow Zack's forces - and his battleship - to get to where the action was. Dieter used the planet to shield one of his destroyers from Zack's ships while getting clear shots at Thomas. Had Zack's battleship been farther away, it would have been a very different game.
Terrain did not slow the game down noticeably and was sufficiently thick in some cases to prevent attacks altogether. The players had to include the terrain effects in their decisions on movement and firing. The weapon ranges seemed to be working, as well. The last thing I wanted is a "push all the figures into the middle of the table and roll lots of dice" or a "just sit there and shoot at everything" game.
Tony has expressed a desire to buy a fleet and has cursed me for it. Zach has instructed me to bring SUNDER THE STARS as backup game when attending Monday nights. I think they liked it. Development shall continue.
The game mat and ships used for the Grand Terran Imperium are from the Terran Federation range, part of the Galactic Knights line produced by Monday Knight Productions.
The ships used for the League of the Star Wolves are available from Ravenstar Studios.

Yet another in-production and readily available figure? My reputation is ruined! This time from Reaper Miniatures, Chronoscope 50138: ALF 24, Robot Assistant http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/robot/sku-down/50138.
Ditched the lippy base and mounted the figure on a proper 25mm round plastic base.
Had to do something with all the leftover silver paint/purple ink mix, so...
Painting: Primed white, then hit the main surfaces with silver paint/purple ink mix and the exposed, inner workings with gunmetal. The base was covered with a slurry of ballast, sand, PVA glue and water before priming and painted with medium gray. The facing lozenge was silver paint/purple ink mix outlined with gunmetal. The entire figure was then dipped with a concoction of polyurethane clear gloss varnish and Ebony. The base was flocked with patches of PVA glue and pink flock used for detailing the upholstery of model cars. Finally, the entire figure was sprayed with clear matte.

SUNDER THE STARS: 2nd Playtest!
This was the second playtest for SUNDER THE STARS held 3 weeks ago. In play were the optional terrain items - a large planet, small moon and various gas clouds - and the optional shield settings - double front, double back and maximum. There were 4 players: Bryan, Rob, Jason and Ricardo, with this humble narrator as referee. The players formed two teams, selecting one member of each team as "commander", and each player had 50 points of ships command.
Fleet commander Rob and future Hero of Terra (posthumously) Bryan each took a taskforce from The Grand Terran Imperium, consisting of one medium cruiser, two destroyers and two frigates.
Jarl Jason and shipmaster Ricardo took their forces from The League of the Star Wolves: one medium cruiser, two destroyers and two frigates for Ricardo and a battleship, one medium cruiser and two frigates for Jason.
The table was set up lengthwise, allowing plenty of room for maneuvering before hostilities could commence. The moon and planet did not figure into their tactics as both were at the extreme ends of the table. In the game they were impassible areas that spell instant annihilation for any spacecraft that entered their space/hex.
Both sides took advantage of the optional shield settings and locked them on double front. That doubled the shield value against all attacks from the front 180°, but defending against attacks from the rear would not get the benefit of shields in the defense rolls.
The gas clouds, however, had been embraced by Commodore Rob. Get used to seeing his ships there. They impart a -1 to hit modifier for every hex/2" fired through.
:[Ricardo shows off his hyper-dimensional jazz hands.]:
Commodore Rob also employed a unique tactic for his flagship: hiding way back, out of harm's way holding the ship in tactical reserve.
:[Hyper-dimensional jazz hands does have a price. It took weeks for Ricardo's fingers to return to their natural color]:
Jarl Jason and his staunch ally Ricardo continued their advance. Their missing frigate and two other ships with damage tracking dice told of their losses.
Bryan's force had been reduced to a cruiser and a destroyer, and Ricardo's forces had been whittled down to just a cruiser, while Jarl Jason's remaining battleship and cruiser try to attack Rob's forces still hiding in the gas cloud. Please note the location of Rob's flagship. To the left. No, farther. All the way over there.
Ricardo's cruiser was not long for this battle.
All the while, Commodore Rob's flagship was doing donuts in its very own private gas cloud. Understandably, Jarl Jason was taunting him mercilessly to come out and fight him. As this was not a dark ages infantry battle, Rob ignored him.
Ricardo had been slain! Long will they sing his saga into the night. Jarl Jason swung his remaining ships around the gas cloud to minimize its interference. Meanwhile, pizza had been delivered to Rob's flagship.
Jason's cruiser got behind Bryan's cruiser and took advantage of its double front shield setting. Bryan is down to a destroyer. Having finished his pizza, Rob's flagship barrels forward to see what all the hubbub was about.
Sacrificing his cruiser, Jarl Jason managed to sink the remaining Wedgian destroyers and one of the frigates. This shall be the final blow to defend the Star Wolves' way of life!
Or not. In a blaze of direct fire and homing weapons, the flagship of Jarl Jason was sunk. With the skies cleared of opponents, Commodore Rob dictated a quick eulogy for Captain Bryan to be sent to his surviving family.
The optional shield setting rules worked as expected, but will lengthen the game by about 50%. Four players with 50 points of ships each should take about two hours - this took almost three. The players liked the option, but agreed it made for longer games.
I thought that terrain would also greatly lengthen the game, but later playtests disproved this.
Point defense will have a smaller area of effect when in terrain that grants a cover bonus like gas clouds, dust clouds and asteroid fields.
The use of tactical reserves and exploiting any available cover are perfectly valid and both can effect the outcome of a battle. Ignore them at your peril.
SUNDER THE STARS is still doing what is asked of it, so development will continue.

I really enjoyed reading this action-packed book. My favourite characters are Eli and Tori.
This book waad! and when I finished the book, I kept on wanting to read more. Lucky for me, there are two more books in the series which I have alsohe story and the characters. The story of this book is very unique. It talks about four normal kids from a normal place in Mexico who are cloned from criminal masterminds. Each of the characters have their own little story to tell about how they feel about their life. My favourite character in the book is Amber Laska. She is a complete know-it-all and loves school (that best describes me!). My favourite part in the book is when one of the characters, Eli, finds out that there is something fishy in town. He is searching up the Boston Tea Party and all the websites say that it was literally a tea party! Suddenly, the power goes off and comes back. That's when Eli finds another website where it talks about the actual rebellion and protest against taxation. That minor accident is the turning point of the book, and the journey gets intensely exciting after that. I really don't want to spoil anything from any of the ots! Rating- 5/5

Masterminds, the first book in the Masterminds series by Gordon Korman is a well written adventure story filled with unexpected twists. Kids live in the perfect town of Serenity. At least they think it’s perfect until they find out they are in the middle of a true nature vs. nurture experiment. Once you start this book, it is hard to put down4th through 8th grade.

I cannot believe this, it is snowing again!
Thank goodness Idgy and her friends had their day out in Glasgow on Tuesday and weren't trying to brave the city in this weather. Actually Idgy arrived homeShe had enjoyed a girly sleepover at her friend's house and the gang of them had tried (and failed thankfully) to stay up all night. They had walked round the city the day before and Idgy had also had to walk the two miles from here to the village to get the train. Yesterday she had to repeat this process to get back home again. Worn out, my girl was done in!
Brrr…..sounds cold!It is cold and rainy here. We had some temps in the 60's earlier in the week, but cold and damp today. Sounds like Idgy had a great time. Stay warm, Karon!

Home | Our Blog | Don’t Let Valentine’s Get TOO Hot!
There are only two kinds of people on Valentine’s day. There are the people going on hot dates that they’ve been looking forward to for weeks, and there are people who sit on their couch in their pajamas, drinking an entire bottle of wine and watching RomComs by themselves all night.
If your home isn’t cooled by a central HVAC unit, you could find yourself wasting time each day, wandering from room to room and trying to adjust the temperature that way.
Because the entire system is controlled by a single thermostat, all you need to do is set the thermostat to your desired temperature once, and your system will do the rest.
Like in any other relationship, you have to take care of your HVAC system if you expect it to take care of you. That means getting us on the phone to schedule a tune-up at least once a year.
HVAC tune-ups can not only clean and maintain your system, but they can also give your HVAC tech can also show your HVAC system you care by changing your AC filter every 30-90 days.
If you are the kind of person drinking wine, alone, in your pajamas on Valentine’s Day, there is no shame in your game. You’ll get ‘em next year! With all joking aside, Tom Drexler Plumbing, Air and Electric’s HVAC team may not be able to help you find a Valentine, but we can help you stay comfortable in your home, no matter what your Valentines plans are.

The VR director explained that unlike traditional forms of exercise like a treadmill, which he claims people start to use less frequently as time goes on, VR gives the user the opportunity to "refresh the experience."
"People look at this as just games. It is an actual workout, there's no difference between it and anything else," Stanton said. "Games like boxing can be just as intense as real world boxing. We've clocked people's heart rates and calories burned [that are] equivalent to riding in the Tour de France."
"We're doing research on how VR can be another form of exercise, and how to hit another population to begin working out," said Hernandez. "It's been really popular with international students."
"We're definitely reaching out to a lot more people who would typically game," said Hernandez. "They come in here and we call them VR regulars because they are more familiar with the system and are able to navigate menus and start game play without help."
"It's great to have people coming into the gym that might not come otherwise and have a safe space where they feel comfortable."
"You're done, you check and you've burned like 400 calories or something, because you don't realize it, you're just playing a game," Stoffel said. "That's what I like about it. When you're working out on a treadmill you're always watching the time, but when you're playing the game you can go for like an hour and a half and it feels like two minutes."
"The way we see it, is that, there won't be a gym in the United States that isn't impacted in some respects by virtual reality or augmented reality in the next three to five years," said Stanton. "You can do things in the virtual world that you simply can't replace in real life, so we think that that's enough to make it a game changer in the way people exercise."
Katie Rhodda stated the goal more simply, "At the end of the day, it just feels good to see people exercising and having a good time with it."

Unique Academy pupils will visit Avenue Park, which is opposite the school, for break, lunch, outdoor learning, Forest school activities and Physical education (PE) classes, subject to weather conditions.
Avenue Park was once part of the grounds of Avenue House, a fine 18th-century house which was demolished in 1949. It adjoins Cranford Community Park, which lies on the other side of the River Crane. The grounds were requisitioned during World War 2 after which Heston and Isleworth Borough Council took possession of the property and spent over £10,000 on its layout for a public park, which included a rest garden and children’s playground.

Craig your e-mail comments on this interview
CBN.com The following is an interview with author and professor, Dr. Gene Veith on his new book -- The Soul of the Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. The mysteries and meanings of C. S. Lewis's classic Narnia series are revealed by Dr. Veith, a leading Christian scholar and culture expert.
Dr. Gene Veith: Well I think it is, and it's also what a good story can do and how it can function in religious ways. The thing is that Christianity teaches an amazing truth, this idea that God came down to Earth and He died for our sin. These are mind-blowing concepts, and yet we often forget how mind-blowing they are. We've heard this so often -- we learned it in Sunday school and we hear it in church, and sometimes we take it for granted and sometimes don't even notice the magnitude of it. This is certainly true for non-Christians who don't understand the wonders of what the Christian worldview is all about.
So I think what Lewis did was to tell the same story from a different angle and with a different imaginative approach that could break through that sense of familiarity with Christianity. It is to de-familiarize -- we get so familiar with something that we ignore it. But sometimes through a good story or thinking about it from a slightly different angle can de-familiarize it and help us to experience it in a fresh way that breaks through a lot of our preconceptions.
von Buseck: You write in the book that Lewis grew up being taken to church, but that things were desensitized for him and he looked on Christianity as so far beyond the human experience that he couldn't grasp it, he couldn't relate to it. As a result he became an Atheist for a time. Do you think that is one of the things he was trying to do with the Narnia books, to bring it down to a fairytale level, something you can really connect to, rather than the stained glass look at things?
Dr. Veith: Yes, and again, nothing against the stained glass and the tales of Scripture -- people who come across them in a fresh way are blown away by them. But I think that Lewis wasn't just trying to tell it in a fairytale way to make it more down to Earth for people -- I guess that's part of it -- but he was also making it more wonderful. It's amazing how in some people's minds church today and Christianity are boring. How can it be boring with this amazing truth that it teaches. Yet that's the way that some people relate to it -- and that's probably our fault in the stodgy way we present it sometimes. But Lewis talked about 'stealing past watchful dragons', using another fairytale image -- like there are these dragons that are preventing the truth from coming in. He was trying to tell the story in a way that would get past some of those defenses.
von Buseck: You write about Lewis's encounter with the author of Phantastes, nineteenth-century Christian author George MacDonald. For Lewis this was a 'baptism of the imagination.' Talk to me about that concept.
Dr. Veith: Part of the post-modern world is that we have a very materialistic worldview. Certainly Lewis did at that stage where he had given up his Christianity and was all caught up in all the modern ideas. But the view that this world is all that there is, that just this physical, material realm is all that exists, that's really very stifling. It's very imprisoning. And J.R.R. Tolkien, Lewis's great friend and the author of The Lord of the Rings, was instrumental in Lewis coming to faith, made the point that fantasy provokes escapism. Tolkien said that for people that are in a prison, it's a healthy thing to want to want to break out of it. I think that one of the things that fantasy did for Lewis, since he was very much in this materialist prison, but he picked up this little book on fantasy writing by George MacDonald on a train ride. He said that the impact of this work was so influential to him because it broke him out of that narrow, materialistic way of thinking that he always had. It filled him with this yearning and this desire for something beyond just this world.
Another feature of Phantastes, by George MacDonald was a sense of goodness that it portrayed -- a sense of the beauty of moral reality. It's not something oppressive or restrictive as many materialists assume it is. But he saw the great attractiveness of that. It's kind of an odd book. Some people have no idea what he's talking about. It's very wild and obscure. But other times it just pierces the imagination. But for Lewis, he said that was the 'baptism of the imagination'. He wasn't a Christian then and he wasn't a Christian right after. But he saw that book as sort of a step towards his coming to faith later -- it baptized his imagination.
We do think not just with our intellect and our reasoning, but we think with our imagination. The associations we have, what attracts us and repels us, they are all very much tied up in our imagination. So for Lewis, reading that fantasy book really was a step toward the conversion that came later.
von Buseck: So did these concepts come together in the writing of the Narnia books?
von Buseck: It's interesting, because Tolkien kind of resisted the call for the Lord of The Rings books to be allegorical.
von Buseck: But Lewis jumped right into allegory. How would you define allegory and how did Lewis use it in the Narnia books.
Dr. Veith: Well, both Lewis and Tolkien were scholars of medieval literature. Tolkien was much more interested in the legend and he used it in The Lord of The Rings. And Lewis's first book was called The Allegory of Love, which is a great literary study of the medieval allegories. And he really showed how to read those and how to appreciate them as not just dry, symbols of ideas, but as great, creative works of art. And so in his scholarly vocation, Lewis was doing a lot with allegory, and he was attracted to it. I think allegory is a way to bring non-visual ideas down to earth, literally, by expressing them in a tangible way.

The most controversial of corporate subsidies would have to be "farm income stabilization," a.k.a. farm subsidies. A product of the Great Depression, the United States gives about $20 billion a year in direct subsidies to the agricultural business. While nearly a century ago, these subsidies helped farmers survive through the food surplus, now these subsidies go mostly to large corporations. Critics argue that many corporate subsidies, such as farm and oil subsidies, by subsidies for "green technologies."


Today? I had the most amazing beach day with the boys and my Mom. Totally unexpected for a cold day in April ... in Rhode Island no less.
We made our way out over the dune at Misquamicut and my Mom and I both took a breath, surprised at how clear blue the water appeared and how not cold it was. Before I knew it, the boys were running in and out of the water. And while trust me it was cold, I have been to the beach on much warmer summer days where the water feels colder than that.
We rolled up the boys jeans and in and out they went. They found shells and a lone crab leg for my Dad (don't ask) and even managed to make 'sand angels'. When it was time to go the Doodle Bop got mad and the Bunny Bee threw himself down in the sand because they did not want to leave.
I am so ready for summer. And more than grateful for this beautiful and unexpected day. I left feeling completely blessed.

med in ASP (Active Server Pages), which are booming in the period 1997-2003 , presently declining in technologies for managed code and safer processes running in virtual machines, and therefore more suitable for execution on publicly accessible and distributed environments. Microsoft has tried to compete with this technology also in customer environments where the language most commonly used is Javascript or ECMAScript standard version, without success. Currently Microsoft has not made publicly available new versions of language in favor of the .NET technology in which the brother Visual Basic language, within the runtime environment of the .NET platform (CLR, or Common Language Runtime) is included. But still very useful in management of workstations and servers in Windows.
VBScript is played by the scripting engine vbscript.dll, which can be invoked by thes environment GUI for cscript.exe is a line environment iexplore.exe commands and scripts when it comes to customer level (similar to JavaScript). When the VBScript source code is stored in separate files, they typically have a .vbs extension.
When used in Internet Explorer, VBScript works very similar to JavaScript, processing content code in the HTML document. VBScript also be used to create separate HTML (.hta extension) applications that need Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher to be executed. Application developers often prefer JavaScript web due to their greater compatibility with other browsers, since VBScript is available only for Microsoft Internet Explorer browser, and not on others such as Firefox or Opera.
VBScript is the language used to write some famous network worms, such as I Love You. This is due to several reasons. First, resembling a blue parchment representing the .vbs file icon may lead to inexperienced users think that this is a text file. Second, it is easy to write a VBScript worm that spreads via e-mail (few lines of code required). Microsoft has fixed security holes exploited by these malicious programs. This does not mean eradicated solved, it has only complicated the process; because if for example the I Love You spread via Outlook, now if you use the same method comes a warning, so that is commonly employed methods such as sending by SMTP server (rather more complex to program than by other method).

A 70-something owner who made a fortune in industrial tube cleaners and sewage equipment sells his team to a then 34-year-old tech savant.
An entrepreneurial former agent who helped broker the deal steps in as the franchise’s new CEO.
As one of his first hires, the executive brings on a journalist who is at the forefront of the analytics movement, but someone who arouses suspicion among basketball lifers.
When the new owner and CEO entertain two of the team’s bright young talents for dinner in San Francisco, but don’t extend invitations to other key players or the head coach, tension brews.
If all this happened to an NBA team in New York or Los Angeles, the plot would absorb fans and media like a prestige cable drama -- palace intrigue, layered characters, symbolism and a battle of ideas. But Memphis resides in a place called “the Mid-South,” a region that lies between the richer New South, the dynamic megapolises of Texas, and the old Midwest.
Chances are you might just be tuning in, so we’d like to introduce you to the cast of "Memphis Grizzlies: The Cable Drama."
Soon after the dinner episode, the new regime trades away the team’s leading scorer and ships off two key bench contributors. The transactions are both financially motivated and, in the case of the highly paid player, an expression of the new group’s efficiency-based philosophy.
The process incenses the head coach, who feels his solid track record and steady management of the roster warrant more consultation. The coach, who isn’t under contract for next season, goes public with his gripes, and much of the fan base agrees. After the team drops a couple of games, the team’s rotund power forward sounds off about the offense.
Meanwhile, speculation swirls about the fate of the incumbent general manager, who has assembled many of the key pieces and compiled a ton of institutional knowledge, but seems increasingly like a third wheel.
Just as the debate over the trades peaks, the coach bows to his better judgment. The team wins 14 out of 15, but in its first two playoff games, it gets pushed around by the same opponent it lost tragically to last season.
But the team comes home and to the surprise of even some inside the organization, rallies around its identity as a squad every bit as unvarnished as its city to win the series and exact revenge. It sustains its momentum and dismantles its next opponent, the West's top seed. Now one loss from elimination against the team it upset two years ago, the moment when it first established self-belief, it must rally.
That should bring you up to date with the events. Now here is your cast of characters:


New opportunities for more skill-based careers have been unveiled by Scarborough Construction Skills Village as it continues to expand.
Student Craig Large working on his skills in 2017.
Alongside a range of green construction techniques, training courses are starting for the next generation of skilled plumbers, heating engineers, electricians and interior builders.
The new, larger skills village site at High Eastfield Farm, near Musham Bank off the A64, is creating a Green Oak Business Centre, Student Hub, Green Energy Training and Plant Training Space, with a community cafe and rentable units for new enterprises. Work has already started.
It will host two open days on Thursday July 8 and Tuesday August 24 to provide hands-on experience and taster sessions in the full range of construction trades, including joinery, bricklaying, groundworks and plastering, with a tour that shows the scale of development.
Also to be built are two carbon-neutral green showhomes – and a tree will be planted for every new apprentice.
“We have brilli construction skills in Scarborough,” said Graham Ratcliffe, head of Northern Regeneration which runs the skills village.
“Thousands of new construction workers are needed to support the post-pandemic levelling up agenda and good growth.
There are three new plumbing, heating, electrical and interior building courses to national standards.
The open days and skills village tour at High Eastfield Farm (YO11 3PP) on July 8 and August 24 will run from 10am to noon and 1pm to 3pm.
Experienced trades people ready to pass on skills and knowledge in joinery, bricklaying, groundworks, plastering, drylining, plumbing or electrical are also required as assessors and trainers.
The skills village is looking to engage with employers who want to take on apprentices, with help and advice available.

Growing up in Southern Maryland in the 1970s, I was40 mile stretch of tobacco fields. Although we only lived 75 minutes from the Nation’s Capital, we may as well have been in the middle of the Sahara Desert for all the culture it brought us. The main employer was the Navy, and the main pastime was driving around town with a Confederate flag hanging in the back window of your pick-up. Needless to say, St. Mary’s County was not a good place to be gay.
As a teenager attending a Catholic boy’s school, I learned to hide my sexuality. I had no gay friends … at least none that I knew of. My only confidant was my diary, into which I poured all my unanswered questions, most of which began “Why am I like this?” I never had to deal with the moral dilemma of coming out to my parents. One day when I was 17, I came home from school to find my mother looking like the cat who swallowed the canary. “I read your diary” she sheepishly confessed, “I thought it was a sketch book.” How much did you have to read before you realized it wasn’t a sketch book?” I asked accusingly. “All of it.” That night my parents sat me down and told me that, regardless of my sexual orientation, I would always be their son and they would always love me. And that was that.
I didn’t go to a gay bar for the first time until after I graduated from high school. You could still drink at 18 back then. It was a run-down place in the slums of Southeast Washington, but it was the only bar I knew of (because they ran advertising in the Washington Star). Being in a big city wasn’t really that different from being in the country. There were too many people, and now you were just another face in the crowd. I still felt isolated.
In 1980, the political climate changed. The Moral Majority, a religious organization headed by the rabidly homophobic televangelist Jerry Falwel, had the ear of the White House. AIDS had just been diagnosed, and the country was in panic over the deadly disease spread by homosexuals and other degenerates. Incidents of gay bashing were on the rise, and police raids on gay bars were becoming more and more frequent. Considering the circumstances, it seemed like a good time to go back into the closet. My family moved to Oneida County shortly thereafter, and once again I found myself feeling very alone and isolated. I was unaware that Utica had any form of gay community; but neither was I looking for one this time.
It was a few months before my 30th birthday when I finally decided that enough was enough. With a friend in tow for moral support, I strode in through the doors of That Place, what I thought was Utica’s only gay bar (in point of fact, at the time the city had three). What I was used to, and what I encountered, were two totally different things. I had come from a culture of big city clubs, where nobody knew everybody and the transience was high. Now I was in a small neighborhood bar, where you were no longer just a face in the crowd. I had never before experienced “community” spirit like what I felt in That Place. And I embraced it whole-heartedly. I quickly became a local activist, cofounded the first MVCC Gay Alliance, and headed up the Utica Pride Parade (in fact, the very first full-color photo printed on the front page of the Observer-Dispatch was of my smiling mug). When I had to get a second job, That Place welcomed me as a DJ (although I doubt I would have looked anywhere else). It became my home away from home, and my friends became my family. Nothing like this would ever have happened in Washington. I may have taken the long way around, but eventually my Mohammed reached his mountain.

The purpose of this report is to present Belfast City Council with a proposal to reduce carbon emissions within the city and develop a more sustainable environment in relation to its buildings. Cities are environments built to meet the social-economic needs of people and have tended to be developed in unsustainable ways without consideration of environmental concerns; Belfast is no different in this respect. As the capital city of Northern Ireland, it has suffered greatly in the preceding years from the ‘troubles’ through to the economic downturn but our ‘wee city’ can be seen as resilient and adaptable to its circumstances. Environmental concerns give it a platform to facilitate growth and become a beacon of progress in sustainable living. These measures also have the effect of helping its people to take civic pride in their achievements and promote an alternative vision of Belfast. Climate change has become a very emotive issue and carbon emissions have been seen as an important factor in the discussion. Car create energy, which releases harmful carbon dioxide into the air. This process is at such a speed now that it is both unsustainable and produces dangers to the environment including global warming. Sustainability, defined as “a dynamic process which enables…quality of life in many” (Global footprints, n. d) is also key to the carbon emissions discussion. With these statements in mind, Northern Ireland has a 98% reliance on imported fossil fuels and Belfast’s per capita emission is the largest in the UK even though...

"Who are you taking us to, again?" Jay asked uneasily as he and Stephen followed the Messenger through Xamalie's large fortress. "We are going to see Hector Garcia, the most powerful Healer in Xamalie," she said dutifully as she continued to weave her way through the crowded dining halls. Though she had only been a commissioned Messenger for less than a year, she had actually met Hector Garcia several times before she was marked. Each time that she delivered a message to him, she learned a little more about his tendencies and personality. Surprisingly, the more she got to know him, the better she liked him. That did not happen often with the people that Jones came into contact with, so she was a little more willing to meet with him than she usually was. "And why are you taking us to a Healer?" Stephen asked carefully, shoving his way through the mass of people. "You do know that we have a Healer in our troop, right?I mean, he is coming with us right now."
Rolling her eyes, Jones sighed, "Yes, I am aware of the fact that Jay is a Healer. But I am also aware of the fact that every other troop that Perry has been assigned to had a Healer with them too. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but all of the people in those troops are dead now. Healers and Warriors alike, no?" Hearing no contradiction to be offered, Jones continued. "Look, I know that we have a Healer and I'm sure that he is a fine Healer. But we are talking about a person that has been on missions with more than fifty people that are all dead now. I don't think having a Healer as talented as Regan Deluvia would be enough to counter this kid's luck."
"Ok, well, if you think that we are screwed, why are you bothering to take us to a Healer that is not as talented as Regan Deluvia?" Stephen asked, heaving a huge mental sigh of relief now that they were out of the mess hall. "Because he is the best that Xamalie has at the moment," Jones said. "If Regan were alive, I would try to get in to see her, but she isn't and Hector is. Better than that is the fact that Hector is actually here in the castle. So, while the Lieutenant is off doing her business, I figure we can do ours and no one will be the wiser."
"Jones, it is good to see you. What have you been up to, these days?" Hector asked, closing the door behind Jay. "Oh you know, the usual," Jones shrugged, keeping her answer brief. "I'm here to ask you for a favor, actually. Have you heard anything about Perry Townsend?"
At their Guide's name, Hector frowned. "I have," he said slowly, in a more somber tone. "Why?"
"Well, he has been assigned to the troop that I am serving," the Messenger said. "I too have heard things about our Guide, and I want to ensure that my troop does not fall prey to his bad luck."
Nodding slowly, Hector stroked his chin with fat fingers and said, "I see. What are you proposing, exactly?"
"My sources tell me that you are now Xamalie's most powerful Healer. Is that true?"
Thankful that he was not as curious as everyone else seemed to be about her, Jones continued, "Then I am wondering if you have any potion that may help us?I realize that without having anyone sick, that it will be harder to give us anything, but surely the most powerful Healer in Xamalie can give us something to counteract this kid's bad luck?"
"Why did they give the kid to your troop?" Hector finally asked. Tilting his head to the side, he continued, "Aren't you the Messenger for the Flair's squadron?"
Jones gave a nod and said, "I can't tell you why they did it, just that they did. I do not trust this Guide and I am willing to take any means necessary to prevent his bad luck from including my troop or me. Do you have anything that you can give us or not?"
After a moment of silence, Hector stood up and walked over to the medicine cabinet. Throwing a questioning look back Jones's way, he asked, "Are you willing to take a potion that hasn't been tested yet?"
Again Jones felt Stephen move, though this time it felt more like stiffening, and less of uncertainty. Ignoring it once more, she inquired carefully, "It hasn't been tested yet?"
Explaining further, the Healer said, "Not officially. I can tell you that it is made from ingredients that have not been in anything dangerous for more than a century and that I would trust my life to it. But it is not my life that you asked about, so I feel it is necessary to leave the call up to you."
Finally turning to Jay, Jones asked him, "What do you think?"
At first, Jay seemed to think she was kidding, because he gave her a half grin and a shake of his head. Realizing that she actually wanted him to weigh in, however, his expression tightened and he picked up one of the vials. Raising the bottle to sniff at the concoction, he asked Hector, "What's in it?"
"A few plants from the northern coast of Rea, purified water, a drop of ale, and my signature."
"And you said that the ingredients have been in other potions before, and none of those have failed in over a century?
Giving the bottle one final inspection, Jay conceded, "It's probably fine. If it were me, I would take it."
"Alright then," Jones said with a firm nod. "We'll take our chances."
"Now, I need your word that you will only give this to someone who will die if they do not get a remedy. I mean that, Jones," Hector said seriously. "Only when you have no other alternative. No other Healing potion, no Healer to work on one, no anything. It is take your chances with this potion or they die. That is the only time that you are allowed to use this potion, is that understood?"
"Yes, Hector," Jones affirmed, taking the vial that Hector just poured for her. "I understand perfectly."

I wasn't sure what to expect from the book when i got it. But right from the first chapter i found myself captivated by this deeply personal story and inspired me to the most.
I made myself stand out in the crowd. These three books changed my life totally.
See if you can gain something out of it.


For a long time I resisted Instagram as a medium for sharing photos. The interface and the constant stream of photos with retro filters reeked of pretentiousness.
The other day I decided to follow all sorts of fitness icons that I also follow on YouTube. Within a day my account started getting “followed” by other, smaller fitness Instagram accounts. I don’t post fitness photos. I don’t post fitness motivational posters.
This seems to be a growing trend among lots of social media platforms. A lot of them seem to cater to the same vulnerability of being subject to bot farms, of which a lot of people feel like they need to buy “likes” from in order to stay afloat and relevant among these platforms’ popularity algorithms. This is what it feels like to be afloat in the sea of banality with sensational titles and tags.
Maybe I just need to find more quality people to follow on Instagram. If I come up with a good list I’ll post a follow-up to this blog post.
The logic just never set in. He had his ways and I would not be successful in ever persuading him.
 Meditate. Celebrate. You’ve ensured that the flow of electricity has stopped. You are one with the universe. You are in a warm blanket. Disengage the lock. Engage the lock. A happy reminder that no one can breach your fortress. Click. Clack. Your childhood innocence will surely come back.

Autobots… assist me with my Mac problems?
So the other day I was doing research on a problem with a group of Macs freezing up. I found this website where, after ~20 seconds of reading a conversation, this fake chat box pops up.
Celebs who “came back 10 years younger”? So… time traveling is a thing now? Oh, oh, you’re doing a thing with mud baths and still claiming you can “shave years off of your life” simply by giving skin a good rough scrub.
The biggest problem I have with this ad is the “Lost photos of History”.  You dip-shit! They are now recovered.
What ever he’s looking at will forever remain a mystery.
There’s a lot of forced-sensation being placed on literary suspense these days. Much of that faux suspense comes in the form of the injected phrase “… wait for it…”.
You know when “wait for it” is a proper choice in building suspense? Never. That’s right. I never want to be told to “wait for it” when you’re on the cusp of giving me information I potentially want to hear. If you want to tell a really good story or anecdote, build your own suspense by adding some drama or inserting some emotions or thoughts. Maybe try using a Red Herring or a twist ending.
Since the death of my father, my brother Joe and I have broken our pseudo-silence and have become closer again. This is after a few years of him going through his “I’m pissed at absolutely everyone in the world because I don’t know how else to cope” mode. The tragedy is it took the reality-shaking death of our father a few months ago to get him to snap out of his internal struggles in order to realize there is, in fact, finality to everything.
You know when a certain holiday rolls around and you’re reminded about a favorite food or dish you can’t wait to have again? The yearning. The anticipation. Continuing a close relationship with my brother, at this point, is kind of like that. Familiar. Good. Heartwarming. Filling.
In some ways I feel like one of those people who do nice things for other people, not because they’re benevolent, but because they want that tiny rush they get from getting someone’s appraisal. Slightly selfish with a side of selflessness. I also feel like my brother doesn’t have a lot of time left. He’s getting old as he’s approaching 40. That’s like “65” in Cerebral Palsy years. His health is also deteriorating as he spends most of his life sedentary, lying on the floor. He rarely gets out. I know he’s also in a lot of pain. He’s usually hopped up on pain killers when he’s not sleeping.

Dyson proposed some solutions– for one, police should “treat everybody like you treat Tyler Perry after you find out he is Tyler Perry.” He also proposes a review board within the police department to hold officers guilty of racial profiling accountable. Somewhat baffling in the context of the racial profiling case at the forefront of the news today, though– the killing of Trayvon Martin— was his call for more “community policing.” “How about people in communities policing those communities?”


In 2019, attorneys general in Nebraska and the District of Columbia filed suit against major hotel corporations Hilton and Marriot respectively, charging them with using deceptive advertising that violated state law. These suits,y, could significantly impact the industry practice of using “resort fees” to boost revenue.
What are resort fees? Why are they illegal?
Resort fees can be anything from a bottle of water to internet access to fitness room access. Understandably, consumers dislike fees. However, the legal problem is the lack of disclosure or the allegedly misleading nature of disclosing resort fees. T unfair and misleading advertising.
On booking websites, which allow consumers to compare prices and select the best deal, resort fees are not calculated into the costs shown. This practice of “drip pricing” gives hotels who use resort fees an advantage over their competitors, putting them ahead in things like site rankings for lower prices even if that’s not the case.
On the hotel website itself, the hotel adds the fees as you click through to make your reservation, sometimes in different, lighter font color.
A judge dismissed Marriot’s motion to have the case dismissed in December of 2019, and litigation is now in the discovery phase. Wyndham Hotels & Resorts settled a similar lawsuit, not admitting liability but paying $6 million to resolve a class action lawsuit. Additionallys has been introduced into Congress to end hidden resort fees.

This course provided us with plenty of opportunities plenty of teaching opportunities for teacher practice. We had a group of 24 students and we were teaching them almost every day which was great experience to practice our teaching skills. It was just great being in there having hands-on experience. Just being around the language institute you're around Chinese students Thai students, people from America from Europe so people from all around the world you get.
I can get a job in the future, I also give the knowledge to the students. There are a lot of strategies in the lessons. The teaching part was easy and it’s good for the student. Mr. Richard, he’s good, he got a lot of experiences and he taught us from his experience not from the book.
This program taught me to be more patient with people who are not native English speakers or just in general. trainers are great and funny and they had a lot of experience. So, I enjoyed it.
What I enjoyed the most about this course was the teaching practice. I also enjoyed teaching to university students, San Pa Tong Anuban, Pratom and Mathayom students. It was really a very good experience and something I really enjoyed. I also really enjoy young learners’ workshops because it kind of gave us a lot of new things we can try with kids and when we actually use it in real life, it was quite fun and it work well and the kids love it.
Can I work during a course ?


BooooOOOooOOooOooOooOOooO! Tomorrow begins my favorite month of the year – Halloween month! I'm Halloween obsessed, y'all. I start looking forward to digging out the Halloween craft supplies and decorations the second I hear the first rumbles of school buses in September.
We do cute-not-creepy decorations, which are sometimes a challenge to find, so I end up making a lot of ours. One day, while having breakfast at work, crafty inspiration struck and this adorable upcycled Halloween craft was born! It all started with some yogurt.
Insert 12 mm safety eyes five rows up from the scalloped edge, with 4 stitches between the eyes.
Using wire snips, trim the stems off of the safety eyes.
Slide the crochet ghost over the jar, and place on top of battery operated tealight.
Easypeasey, right? You could make a whole host of ghosts this weekend! These would be supercute hostess gifts for Halloween parties!
If you don't know how to crochet or want to make this a kid-friendly project, there are a few ways you can make this project with things you have around the house.
Decoupage the outside of the pot with small pieces of torn tissue paper, and then draw on eyes and a mouth with a Sharpie.
Drape a tissue over the top of the jar, secure with a rubber band, and then draw the eyes and mouth on with a Sharpie.
If you liked this project, I'd love it if you pinned and shared!
Super cute ghosts!! Visiting from Made By You Monday party.
I love this little guy. Easy to make, even for a beginner. Do u plan on any other patterns to go with the little jar? I'd love to be able to make Christmas ones, but not able to make my own patterns.
Hi Debi! Thank you, I'm so glad you like him! 🙂 Yep, I'm writing some Christmas designs as we speak, and they'll be posted around the first week of November-ish.
I am new to crochet. Could you explain how to (for instance) "sc 2, inc around (24) ? If the previous row has 18 stitches, you want to add 6, right? So every third stitch, you add another?
Hi Beth! Happy to help you! You are correct, for this row on every third stitch you'll add another. Another way to write that instruction would be sc 2, sc 2 into same stitch. For amigurumi, an increase (inc.) is typically two scs into the same stitch – you have good instincts! Hope this se are really cute. Does it fit snuggly over the jar? I tried to make one and it is really big. I did use a G hook.
