Uber's board of directors is currently contemplating a three-month leave of absence for embattled CEO Travis Kalanick, according to The New York Times.
If this occurs, there's a possibility his responsibilities will be scaled back when he returns. What's more, Emil Micheal, one of Kalanick's top lieutenants, is leaving the company entirely, according to Recode. The board hasn't specified when a decision would be made as to Kalanick's future, or who might replace him. The shakeup occurs against the backdrop of a review of Uber's corporate culture led by former US Attorney General Eric Holder.
New leadership, even if temporary, could lead Uber to seek out self-driving partnerships, accelerating the progress of its self-driving technologies. Here's how:
- Uber hasn't collaborated much in the self-driving space, and that's limited their cars' technological progress. Unlike many other prominent players in the self-driving car market, Uber hasn't agreed to any partnerships to develop or test self-driving cars. That could be because of the company's history — since it scaled so quickly, it might feel it doesn't need others to do the same in the self-driving space. But that's likely hurt the technological progress of its self-driving cars, which still need to be taken over by a driver more often than those from rival Waymo.
- New leaders could change course, accelerating Uber's technological progress and allowing it to get its cars on the road faster. Change at the top could result in a different approach that embraces partnerships, which have become a proven method to get self-driving cars on the road faster. If it went this route, Uber could gain a crucial early-mover advantage in a market that'll be large — BI Intelligence forecasts that 2.1 million fully autonomous cars will be on US roads in 2025.
The self-driving car is no longer a futuristic fantasy. Consumers can already buy vehicles that, within a few years time, will get software updates enabling them to hit the road without the need for a driver.
This autonomous revolution will upend the automotive sector and disrupt huge swaths of the economy, while radically improving energy efficiency and changing the way people approach transport around the world.
Automakers and tech companies are racing to develop the technology that will power self-driving cars in the coming years. That tech is advancing, but leaves observers with a bigger question: will consumers trust driverless car tech, and will they want to use autonomous cars?
Peter Newman, research analyst for BI Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, has compiled a detailed report on self-driving cars that analyzes the market, and forecasts vehicle shipments and market penetration. It also profiles the players expected to take on a prominent role in the autonomous future, examines the barriers to autonomous car development and adoption, and reviews developments in technology, regulation, and consumer sentiment. Finally, it analyzes the impact the introduction of autonomy will have on various industries and transport trends.
Here are some of the key takeaways from the report:
- Self-driving cars are coming; there will be fully autonomous cars on the roads in the US in 2018, and adoption will just take off from there.
- The technology is developing swiftly to allow fully self-driving vehicles, while the regulatory environment is adapting to the anticipated changes that this new technology will bring.
- We conducted a survey asking our exclusive BI Insiders panel about their thoughts on self-driving cars, the future of the automotive industry, and the impact autonomous vehicles will have on their purchasing habits moving forward. The results provide a picture of consumer sentiment at the precipice of the autonomous era.
In full, the report:
- Sizes the current and future self-driving car market, forecasting shipments and projecting installed base.
- Explains the current state of technology, regulation, and consumer perception.
- Analyzes how the development of autonomous cars will impact employment and the economy.

Graham has enough toys for 8 children. Yet, my entire day is spent keeping him away from the DVD player, every trash can in the house and the plants.
Last night we started putting Graham to sleep at 6:30. He screamed his head off until 10:40 when he finally slumped over in Elliot's arms and started snoring. I think he does these things just to show us who's really the boss of this house. And trust me, it certainly isn't Elliot or I.

We can finally eat like civilized people
It has only taken us 5 months, but we finally got a kitchen table!! We have been eating off of a dilapidated (you like that? I even looked it up on dictionary.com to make sure it suited the sentence) card table that Elliot's parents let us use until we got an actual table. Thank goodness we finally found one. I was at the grocery store yesterday and saw this table (I have absolutely no idea why a grocery store was selling a kitchen table? There was no sign of any other furniture anywhere in the store) that was originally $300 and was on sale for $75. That includes all 4 chairs!! It was a new years miracle! I immediately got a manager and said I wanted to buy the table right away. She said it had only been on display for 10 minutes. The only time in my life I have had perfect timing. While I was waiting for the manager to get the UPC code for it, two other people stopped and asked about buying the table. I had to engage in a little grappling (this word choice brought to you by the lovely Chrysta Brower), but eventually I fought everyone off and headed home with my table. I can't wait to start having people over for dinner without being mortified of what we are eating off of!

Run to your local JC Penney's sale!!
Last night we went to the mall to check out the sale at JC Penney's that my friend had told me about. I got a pair of running shoes for $20.00!! Their Asics. Is that a good brand? I have no idea about anything sports gear related as my butt hardly ever moves from off the couch so I rarely have any need for a specific brand of shoes or clothes to get me anywhere because my bathrobe does a perfectly fine job. That is until now because I have decided to join a gym and get in shape! The last time (and possibly only time?) I bought a pair of running shoes was for my 17th birthday present from my parents. I am turning 28 next month and I am still wearing those same shoes. So I decided it was probably time for some new shoes. After we bought them, we decided to peruse the children's section and found these gems:

I'm dying a slow death...
Last night Graham woke up at 9:00, 10:30, 12:00 and 1:30. It was like every 1 1/2 hours his body jolted awake and he broke out in frantic screams. I have no idea what is going on with him, but he hasn't been sleeping well for over a month and it is killing me. I need my sleep! Elliot is usually the patient one with Graham and never gets upset by anything. Graham has finally broken him down and tonight he is on his own to scream his himself silly. Wish us luck.

Graham's first haircut
Since Graham was born, Elliot has said that he wants to let Graham's hair grow out long. Being the kind of wife that respects all of her husbands wishes, I waited until he was at work yesterday before rushing Graham down to the hair salon.
Graham and I are pretty happy with the results. Elliot is slowly coming around.....

I've decided to pull some old Headless Hydra Games products from the market. These were the first products that I created and mark a different time. Since I began working on the Mor Aldenn setting, a lot has happened and a lot has changed. Both in Mor Aldenn, but also in the world of 3PPs.
This is a 14 days notice.
If you want to keep your files, you should download them now (and store them somewhere), because in 14 days, they will no longer be available for download from either Paizo.com nor from RPGNow.com.
When the items are pulled from the market, I will also make the new Mor Aldenn Setting Guide available at a 50% discount. This discount is for everyone and will mark a new beginning at Headless Hydra Games.
The following items will be pulled from the stores:
A GM's Guide to Mor Aldenn
A Player's Guide to Mor Aldenn
Gods of Mor Aldenn: Ehlora
The Ugly Harpy
Eldritch Secrets: Open Playtest
The Mor Aldenn Notebook
The Mor Aldenn Notebook Expanded
Furthermore, the two published chapters of the Wizard's Path serial have been made available as free downloads from both RPGNow and Paizo. They will remain free downloads henceforth.
If you have any questions or just want to tell me that it is either a good or bad decision, you can contact me here; email@example.com

Published at Friday, March 29th, 2019 - 22:21:05 PM. Storage Cabinet. By Pansy Louis.
As has already been mentioned a tool cabinet can be used to store and organize tools efficiently and easily. These tool cabinets find both domestic and professional use, especially in automotive garages and workshops. Some of the more dangerous tools and pieces of equipment like nails, tacks, screwdrivers, drills and power tools can be safely placed within your tool storage cabinet so they do not fall into the hands of children who may hurt themselves.
In any house, you can find a cabinet or two in any of the rooms such as the kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom and the garage. Even on your back porch or the backyard itself, you can have an outdoor storage cabinet there for various purposes. The increasing demands of these cabinets in the industrial market are proof enough that they are viable furniture that most people need.

Great Box Set
by RODRIGO -
If you purchased the limited edition of Fate/Zero, then you'll will enjoy this one. The box is made really well just like the Fate/Zero box set, but this one is a couple of centimeters wider (front to back) and it's white like the Fate/Zero box set. This one has 3 cases; Blu-ray Discs (1-2)(3-4), and the Soundtrack, and the collectible card and 24pg booklet. This box set is worth collecting.
Amazing release!
by Collector -
I've been collecting aniplex titles for a while now and this is without a doubt one of the best releases in recent memory they have had.
I've been very dissapointed with the lack of decent rigid art boxes with their releases, notably Kill La Kill and Monogatari Second Season. This release though is right in line with the Japanese release which is a first for Aniplex's stateside releases.
The box that houses this is a little more than 3 normal BluRay jewel cases wide and is very rigid and thick, doesn't bend easy but similar in feel to the monogatari second season releases. The box is roughly 20% wider than the U.S. Fate/Zero release. It is truly hard to do the quality justice with a picture.
All in all this is worth every penny and is one of the best looking US released box sets I own. I can only hope they put this much effort with future releases.
Money Well Spent
by LUIS -
The quality of the artbox was a big deal breaker for me. While I prefer the look and feel of the Fate/Zero boxes this definitely has a similar level of quality. Aniplex's recent choice of singles over boxes frustrated me but I'm happy to say that they haven't lost their edge at all when it comes to putting out quality releases.
Besides the obvious pluses of the visuals when you get the Blu-rays, the addition of the soundtrack as well made the price feel a little more warranted.
If you are a big enough Fate fan to get past the price tag and be willing to fork over the money, you'll be getting one of the most mind blowing visual experiences. Blu-ray is the way to go for Fate, at least if you want more "bang for your buck."
Good Box set... just pricey
by ROBERT -
This is a nice box set but not worth Aniplex's asking price. As a Fan of Type-Moon its either Aniplex or the highway.. Kudos to rightstuf for having the best price on this box set.. thumbs down to Aniplex for charging an arm and a leg for something that should sell at the $60 price point.
Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works Limited Edition Blu-ray Box Set 1
by Goodtimes
Love this series as much as Fate/Zero but darn if I'm gonna give aniplex $180. I "ahem" imported a version from another country (not japan) that cost me about $90 and it's every bit as nice. Only kicker is that you need a multi region capable bluray to watch it.
Pure eye candy
by Shiro
I admit, I love Aniplex and most of the shows they release. Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works is no exception as this is a must buy for just about any anime fans. You get great animation, great story and great fight scenes. Plus it's Aniplex so you know it's going to be a high quality release. Some people might complain about the cost but when you compare their releases to that of Funimation or Sentai, Aniplex is simply the heavyweight champion. That's because Aniplex puts only 4 or less episodes per dual layer blu ray disc. Funimation and Sentai will put 9 - 13 episodes per dual layer blu ray disc and it simply can't compete. For casual fans, this isn't a big deal but for those of us willing to shell out the money, this release is pure eye candy. If you have the money, this is a no brainer as it's a must buy.

Amazing Set and Show!
by Titamus
The show:
This show is fantastic. If you haven't watched this and Zero yet, you should do so as soon as possible! You will not regret it!
The release:
As others have mentioned, this set is a big upgrade from the fate zero sets, let alone aniplex's standard releases these days. Definitely pick these up before they go OOP. (probably within the year!)
Amazing show, Excellent Set
by Archer -
This show is one of my favorites. I am a huge fan of the original Fate/stay night series, and Unlimited Blade Works, in my opinion, is a much more interesting story line.
This set is great. The box that everything comes in is high quality with amazing artwork. The booklet that is included is an interesting read (several interviews from the producer and director) with some nice artwork and animation frames. The soundtrack is incredible; aside from the show itself, this is the best part of the set.
If you can afford the price, this is a must buy for any fan of the show.
Over-priced anime classic based on older classic heroic myths
by GeorgeC -
FSN -- What shall I say about this series? If you DIDN'T like the characters, you wouldn't be still here, would you?
The series I've seen in whole -- or part -- have all become linchpins of modern anime.
Fate is probably the most successful visual novel anime franchise from Type Moon.
I blame it all on the King Arthur mythos -- most of us who have ever seen one of the million cinematic spin-offs of the Arthur legends (John Boorman's "Excalibur," the million British TV series based on King Arthur, or even something I consider lame like Disney's "The Sword in the Stone") will know what I'm talking about.
It's a quintessential heroic myth. You get it or you don't...
NOW, what I DON'T like about the US releases of Fate.
a) They're WAY over-priced for the length of the series; and b) What IS available doesn't come out fast enough in the States, either!
Other than that, these are decently nice releases... But I would definitely NOT buy the series unless it's on sale!
Lacking 5.1 Audio
by SportClassic
Great anime, my absolute favorite in fact. The only issue I had here is that it is not 5.1 surround sound. For the price you would expect it to be, but it is not. Great picture, flawless animation, just wish the sound was up to par.
Beautiful, but a bit overpriced.
by R. -
This IS a very nice box set. The bluray looks absolutely gorgeous and the chipboard is very sleek looking with a glossy finish. The soundtrack is also a nice addition.
Unfortunately, Aniplex misses in some ways that make the set feel overpriced. The included booklet is just pages stapled together and there aren't any other items included to appease a collector. It feels like they could've added the DVDs. The TCG card isn't really as satisfying as a poster or sturdier and more robust art book would have been. They nailed the presentation but skimped on the goods. Side note: The Kill la Kill limited edition nailed all the things I'm harping on here, but came in disappointing paper stock boxes and an unnecessary amount of volumes.
Despite this, I am okay with this purchase. What is presented (minus the flimsy booklet) is high quality and beautiful. The chipboard is among the favorites of the ones I own. I wish Aniplex would try to present a more complete and consistent package.
Quality work worth every penny
by Knightwolf01 -
Absolutely love this!!! It is on the pricy end but well worth it if you're a fan of the series. The story slightly differs from the one on Netflix and the box art is just amazing. The soundtrack is pretty awesome. For the work that was put into it it's worth every penny
Great Show, Rediculous Prices.
by Dan
I give a top rating for the show but not for the absurd prices aniplex charges for this or any of their releases. The show hooked me line and sinker from the first few minutes for the characters and the story which was fantastic.
Fate / Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works Box Set 1 Edición Limitada Blu-Ray
by AHUITZ -
I loved very much what I do not like is that the opening and ending themes are only subtitled in English, in my opinion if you do not put them in Spanish better or put them as in the first season of SWORD ART OLINE

The history of the New Zealand Italians was handed down through family stories until 1992, when Wellington's Club Garibaldi published a history of Italian migration to the Wellington region.
The author was Paul Elenio, and the title chosen was Alla Fine Del Mondo – To the Ends of the Earth.
The 92-page book features stories and photographs of the intrepid families who made the long journey from the Aeolian Islands off Sicily's north coast in search of a better life for themselves and their children.
It chronicles a familiar story of chain migration, which led to the establishment of the Wellington fishing industry and a range of small businesses that serviced the Italian population and changed the landscape of Wellington forever.
A second book, Famiglie Strombolani, was published in 2000.
Alla Fine Del Mondo was out of print until recently, but you can now order copies from this web site:
Island Bay Little Italy.

It is so important to raise a group of Christian children, your children, who are able to be leaders for the next generation.
We discussed leadership in church today when we were studying about the life of Joseph. Joseph had decided to make God's concerns more important that his own concerns. His determination to do right even under very tempting and trying circumstances allowed him to be used of God in amazing ways later in his life.

The artichoke is a fresh, green vegetable that can be enjoyed in the spring months of the year. Also known as the bud of the thistle flower, the artichoke has many varieties that grow worldwide, and is common in many European dishes. From its spiny, prickly appearance, the artichoke may look like a formidable vegetable to handle, but it is actually quite simple to prepare. With a little time and effort, you can easily enjoy a delicious, sweet artichoke.
Part 1
Preparing the Artichokes
1Rinse the artichokes in cold water. Washing an artichoke should be done right before cooking, not before storing. Washing an artichoke before storing can make it spoil faster.
- Store fresh, unwashed artichokes in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to a week. Keep an eye on them, and if leaves start to spread, cook them immediately.[1]
2Slice the stems off of the artichokes. Use a very sharp knife to either slice the whole stem off at the base, or keep most of the stem but just cut the end off.
- If you don't have a really sharp knife, use a serrated knife.
- The artichoke's stem is edible, so you can simply cut the very end off of it and then cook and eat it with the rest of artichoke.[2]
3Cut the tops off of the artichokes. Only remove the top inch of each artichoke, slicing evenly across. Be careful not to cut too far down, or you'll risk losing some of the best edible parts of the artichoke.
- Rub the cut parts of each artichoke with a lemon. Be sure to use lemon on all the cut tops and bottoms to prevent browning.
4Snip the tops off of the outer leaves. Use sharp kitchen scissors to remove the top 1/2 inch of each leaf. Only remove the spiny, pointed tops from the leaves.
- Once you've snipped the leaves, rub each one with more lemon.[3]
Part 2
Cooking the Artichokes
1Fill a pot half full with water and bring it to a boil. Set the stove on high heat and salt the water liberally.
- Setting the stove on high heat encourages the water to boil faster.
- Salting the cooking water helps to flavor the artichokes while they boil.
2Add the artichokes to the boiling water. Place them in the pot and then let the water come back up to a boil.
- Adding the artichokes will cool the water temporarily and slow the boiling, so let water come back up to a boil for just a moment.
3Lower the heat to a simmer. Cover the artichokes and leave them to cook for 20-30 minutes. If you cut the whole stem off of each artichoke, you'll need to weigh the artichokes down in the pot.
- To weight the artichokes down, use a small lid or an inverted plate that fits inside of the pot. This will keep the artichokes from bobbing up out of the water and cooking improperly.[4]
4Test the tenderness of the artichokes. They are ready when you can easily remove a leaf from the middle.Use a fork or the point of your knife to remove the center leaf.[5]
- Be careful when testing the artichokes, as they have been sitting in hot water and can burn you.
- You can also check for tenderness by poking the base of an artichoke with your knife.[6]
5Remove the artichokes from the water. Once they've been removed, drain them in a colander and plate them for serving.
- Season the artichokes however you wish. Peel the leaves off to eat one by one, or cut the artichoke heart out.
- Serve the artichoke leaves and hearts with a delicious drawn butter or a flavorful sauce.
Part 3
Choosing the Right Artichoke
1Select an artichoke at right time of year. Artichokes are at their best in Spring. The peak season for artichokes is from March to May, so you'll find the freshest ones in those three months.[7]
2Check the leaves. A good artichoke should have tight, vibrant green leaves. Loose or dry leaves mean that the artichoke isn't in the best shape.[10]
- Squeeze the leaves against each other, and they should make a squeaking sound if the artichoke is good.
3Feel the weight and shape of the artichoke. It should feel plump and a bit heavier than it looks.
- A smaller artichoke will be more tender than a larger one, while a rounder artichoke will have a bigger heart than a more narrow one.[11]

Article SummaryX
To boil artichokes, start by rinsing them off with cold water. Next, slice off the stems, tops, and most of the outer leaves. Then, fill a pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the artichokes to the water, lower the heat, and let them simmer for 20-30 minutes. Finally, use a fork to make sure the artichokes are tender before removing them from the water and draining them in a colander. For tips on choosing the best artichokes for boiling, read on!

2016 INFINITI QX80 Reviews and Ratings
Utility 4D Limited AWD V8
Expert Reviews
Infiniti QX80 is a luxurious, full-size SUV with three-row seating for seven or eight occupants. Built with traditional body-on-frame construction and last redesigned for 2011, it packs a lot of luxury into an upscale cabin, competing near the upper end of the market.
For the 2016 model year, Infiniti has added a limited run of 1,000 Signature Edition models with a Saddle Tan high-contrast interior, split-bench rear seat, bodyside moldings, rear entertainment system, and the full complement of safety features.
Previously known as the QX56, the Infiniti QX80 features big-V8 power and moderate off-road capability, helped by its high ground clearance and truck-based structure.
Each QX80 holds a 5.6-liter V8 engine that delivers 400 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, driving a 7-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard; four-wheel drive optional. A QX80 can tow up to 8,500 pounds. Performance is adequate for a three-row SUV of this size and weight.
Available full-time four-wheel drive has a truly low drive ratio. Torque is biased to the rear, but can be split 50/50 when tires begin to slip. Hill-start assist is standard, and the rear end contains an automatic-leveling setup that helps with hauling.
Interior space is abundant, with a high seating position. The QX80 is equipped with plush, exclusive trim and amenities.
Distinctive materials are the main attraction inside, especially for the top Limited model and the short-run Signature Edition (which is an option group).
Available active-safety features include a collision warning system and adaptive headlights. Lane-departure prevention can gently nudge the QX80 back into its lane. Other tech features include backup collision warning, brake assist, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot and lane-departure warning systems.
The 2016 Infiniti QX80 ($63,250) includes leather upholstery, tri-zone automatic climate control, hard-drive navigation, DVD audio, satellite radio, 20-inch wheels, sunroof, power liftgate, 13-speaker Bose audio, keyless ignition, and Bluetooth with audio streaming. Buyers can opt for a three-place, second-row bench seat in place of the dual buckets for eight-passenger seating.
QX80 4WD ($66,350) adds four-wheel drive.
QX80 Limited 4WD ($88,850) comes only with four-wheel drive, and includes quilted leather seat upholstery, wood trim, a suede-like headliner, Bose 15-speaker audio, an Around View monitor, 22-inch forged alloy wheels, and several active-safety features.
The Signature Edition option package has eight-passenger seating, backup collision intervention, forward collision and blind-spot warnings, and adaptive cruise control.
Rather than a simple rearview camera, the QX80 gets a surround-view system. A Driver Assistance package adds back-up collision intervention, forward collision warning, a blind-spot monitor, and adaptive cruise control. The Deluxe Technology package adds lane-departure warning/prevention, blind-spot intervention, and adaptive front lighting.
Blending near-classic SUV design with a touch of glamour, the QX80 has one of the most truck-like profiles to be found among modern SUVs. Recalling traditional utility vehicles from the past, this big SUV manages to exude some retro charm. Some folks favor its organic shape, though others might be reminded of a beached whale.
Huge headlights and a matching grille draw attention immediately. Tall ride height gives Infiniti's largest model an ideal SUV stance. Rear pillars sit at an angle reminiscent of other Infiniti vehicles. So do the mildly bulbous fenders. Not many current vehicles look as rounded and flowing as a QX80.
Attractive inside, the QX80 blends leather, metallic trim, and finely finished wood burls that swirl across the dashboard. Such distinctive touches as angles that resemble hockey sticks, and an aluminum strip embedded into the shifter, help give the QX80 a look and feel that might be described as assertively masculine. Drivers also benefit from a logical control layout.
Seating is comfortable throughout. Large front seats are roomy all around, except where knees of larger passengers approach the center console. Leather seats may be heated, and ventilation is optional. The second row has enough space for two adults, or possibly three. Second-row bucket seats may be substituted. With buckets comes a center console.
Adults might squeeze into the third-row bench, though it's mainly for youngsters.
Cargo room behind the third row is modest at 16.7 cubic feet, but second- and third-row seats power down, boosting space to 95 cubic feet. Loading is simple enough, using the standard power tailgate.
Powerful the QX80 is, but also big and heavy. Expect a luxurious ride most of the time, even if optional 22-inch tires are mounted (though our preference is for the 20-inch wheels for a smoother ride). On the down side, that enticing ride is accompanied by handling that can only be called cumbersome. Available Hydraulic Body Motion Control can alter air pressure at each wheel, to help minimize body lean.
Steering feels quite light, which might be disconcerting to some drivers, but brakes are undeniably big and powerful. Because the QX80 shares some of its rugged foundation with the Nissan Patrol, a military-grade model, its capabilities for off-roading come as no surprise.
A QX80 can reach 60 mph in less than seven seconds, impressive for a vehicle of this heft. Only a slight difference between available suspensions is noticeable, even with larger wheels. Therefore, we recommend avoiding the hydraulic suspension that comes with the Deluxe Touring package.
Infiniti's V8 powertrain is the strong, silent type; emitting a relatively lush, refined note. Rearward visibility can be troublesome, especially for shorter drivers, with a full passenger load. A surround-view system is standard, rather than the usual rearview camera.
Poor gas mileage is no surprise. With rear-drive, the QX80 is EPA-rated at 14/20 mpg City/Highway, or 16 mpg Combined. All-wheel drive sinks those figures to 13/19 mpg City/Highway, or 15 mpg Combined.
The Infiniti QX80 provides a plush, exclusive experience, serving as a rival to Cadillac's Escalade.

Forget about decorating a roof with gumdrops, window frames with Skittles and shutters out of candy canes ... culinary artist Melody Dearden knocks it out of the park with this gingerbread house based on Frank Lloyd Wright's architecturally brilliant Fallingwater, located in Bear Run, Pennsylvania. The cookie version (complete with a candy waterfall) took 12 hours to design and 40 hours to assemble the 164 different pieces made from roughly 12-square feet of gingerbread. The daring creation (above) is a close replicate of Wright's cantilevered wonder (below).
A first place winner in a gingerbread bake-off, Dearden received the following distinguished comment: "WELL DONE and entirely deserved FIRST PLACE. Great-grandfather, (I'm FLW's great-granddaughter and an interior designer) would be proud and looking for royalties! Your rendition was festive and infinitely more attractive than the 'thrown up candied Santa intestines' of your competitor. There is just no accounting for taste."
And with that ... Can we eat it now?

The Apple iPod, while not exactly a necessity for an educator or student, is definitely in a league of its own. It d'esn't come with a stylus or a bright, high-resolution display because it's not that type of handheld device. It is designed as an MP3 player, but for educators it is a great option for storing and listening to digital books, as well as a convenient way to transport files between home and the classroom.
The iPod can store up to 1,000 CD-quality songs or other digital files on its 5 GB hard drive - which doubles as a portable FireWire hard drive for storing presentations, large documents, images and even digital movies. If this d'esn't impress you, the iPod is also ultra-portable, at only 6.5 oz., and about as big as a deck of cards. It offers up to 10 hours of continuous play - powered by its rechargeable lithium polymer battery - and even recharges when it is connected to a Mac, using power supplied over the FireWire cable.
iPods play MP3, MP3 VBR, AIFF and WAV files, and can support MP3 bit rates up to 320 Kbps. In addition, the iPod's firmware enables support of future audio formats. The iPod features a 60-mWatt amplifier, which delivers amazing sound for listening to your favorite music or digital books. It also features a 20-minute skip protection that allows uninterrupted playback. The iPod is easy to operate and use with its scroll wheel and its customizable features, which include shuffle, repeat, a sleep timer and start-up volume control. It also offers an Auto-Sync feature that makes it easy to update your digital files any time you use the iTunes 2 software to connect your iPod to your Mac. This software, which is included with the iPod, enables users to burn and recognize MP3 CDs, create playlists and manage files.
The iPod's only real downside is, at this time, it only works with Macs. Its price point at $399 also places it on the expensive side compared to other MP3 players, though no other player compares to the storage capacity and the quality of the iPod. While the iPod is made for Mac fanatics, it will also impress PC lovers. Apple, Cupertino, CA, (800) MY-APPLE, www.apple.com/education.

Beautiful pattern. It would have been more helpful if drawn diagram was provided with it .
December 22, 2016
This is a beautiful garment. The other reviews have been so helpful. I was considering making it as a gift. Ha! No way, I will be keeping this one. And, as an experienced crocheted, know I am up for the challenge.
December 13, 2016
This is a beautiful pattern, but not for faint of heart. Make a practice and write out the notes to keep track of the rows. I love the look.
October 18, 2016
First, let me say I fell in love with the pattern picture and bought the kit with the PDF pattern. The first finished piece is a gift, but I'm going to have to make it for myself, too. While waiting for the recommended yarn to arrive, I've been practicing the pattern stitches. I have found a couple of places where I've had to make adjustments in order to maintain the X4 multiples in the stole sec the pattern itself. I make them at the end of the row so I don't mess up the pattern. I've also found that if I do row 3 (the slip stitch in the front loop) with a larger hook, I don't have the tension problem that pulls that row tight. Never have been able to do slip stitches in the same tension as the rest of my work, don't know why. Anyway, my yarn won't be here for another week or so, so I'll keep practicing and making notes. The lace edging will have to wait until I'm working in the actual stitch counts required.
October 8, 2016
Beautiful pattern with excellent how to. Very easy to follow. recommend to anyone who crochets.

Hazaribag: Security forces on Wednesday recovered a landmine planted beneath a culvert at Zarzari village under the Bishnugarh police station of the district.
Briefing the media, deputy commissioner-cum district returning officer Vinay Kumar Choubey said that security personnel recovered the landmine weighing 50 kg while patrolling the Bishnugarh-Gomia road.
The DC said that the security personnel, who were patrolling the area on foot, heard the sound of an explosion and saw smoke billowing out of the culvert. Sensing danger, they conducted a thorough search of the culvert and found the landmine lying underneath it. A bomb squad, which accompanied the security forces, immediately deactivated the landmine, he added.
Choubey said that the security forces also recovered a pair of shoes and slippers from the spot which the Maoists had probably left behind after planting the landmine. "A major mishap seems to have been averted as polling personnel were supposed to return from the same route along with electronic voting machines (EVMs) after the commencement of polls," he added.
The DC said that an alert was sounded soon after the incident. He said that polling personnel and security forces, who were supposed to cross the Maoist-hit areas under the Bishnugarh police station of the district, were advised to move on foot as a precautionary measure. The police have launched a massive combing operation in the area, he added.

Does anybody remember the Owersby String Consort?
Rasen Mail reader Joe Willisch (pictured centre) brought us this picture taken in 1976
The music group was originally formed in 1969 by two violinists - Joan Woodforth and James Feasey - who were soon joined by Joan Mostyn Lewis (violin) and Joe (viola).
The group then grew into a full consort.
They played across the county at a number of events, but in 1984 it was decided to wind up the group.

Dear baby, welcome to the highly competitive world! Being creative is better than being competitive
Dear baby
Do you know that there are courses out there that keep on telling Mommy "teach your baby or toddler [insert any of these: to Read / Math / Music]"? To accelerate the rat race, the advertisement goes "You can start when your baby is 3 months old."
Yes, Mommy started to teach you things that Mommy thinks as necessary, such as praying, sign language, idioms, texture exercise, mirror exercise to increase self-worth / self-love and awareness of body parts, vowel exercise. You responded by happily producing sounds that Mommy still does not understand: baby language.
When Mommy told a friend, he said that Mommy is highly . competitive. However, Mommy thinks that it is good & essential to introduce you the joy of learning early in life. Since you received a lot of (second-hand) toys and was given a few new toys, Mommy will not buy you any toys. We are a frugal family and Mommy wants to save for more important things for your, e.g. healthy fruits & vegetable. However, Mommy shares with you the joy of our world through play in the nature (including parks / beaches / hills / mountains / lakes) enforced with powerpoint slides to help you remember the words, beautiful books, shopping groceries in the supermarkets / markets (Yes, the markets are your playground).
Sometimes, Mommy wonders if Mommy if a competitive person. Recently, Mommy learned from Uncle W that being creative is better than being competitive; and Mommy thinks that Mommy is a creative, instead of a competitive person. Do you know what are the differences between being competitive and being creative? Mommy will write another post in the near future.
Since you are my dearest, Mommy aspires to gives you only the Best that Mommy can afford to nurture creativity, independence, and happy learning in you since your early days.
In fact, Mommy acknowledges that Mommy learned and shared a lot to you through voice notes about many lifelong skills while being pregnant with you. That perhaps explains why you are a happy baby, as observed by Aunt Flower who helped to care for you when Mommy was too weak to carry you around.
Mommy wants you to grow in a happy, healthy, harmonious baby, toddler, child, and then adult. They said it takes 10 years to grow a tree, 100 years to nurture a human being (十年树木,百年树人).
Mommy happily takes on this challenge. Mommy feels that while nurturing you, Mommy also benefits because Mommy has a chance to learn new things that Mommy did not learn as a kid, and re-learn beautiful things that Mommy has experience.
May your life be abundant with joy, happiness and generosity.
Dear Readers, if you find my writings are inspiring to you, please donate to me by clicking here.

The Pioneer (India)
The Pioneer is an English language daily newspaper in India. It is published from multiple locations in India, including Delhi. It is the second oldest English language newspaper in India still in circulation after The Times of India.[1] In 2010, The Pioneer launched a Hindi version in Lucknow.[2]

The Pioneer was founded in Allahabad in 1865 by George Allen, an Englishman who had had great success in the tea business in north-east India in the previous decade.[3] It was brought out three times a week from 1865 to 1869 and daily thereafter.[4] In 1866, a supplement, the Pioneer Mail, consisting of "48 quarto-size pages," mostly of advertisements, was added to the publication.[3] In 1872, Alfred Sinnett became the editor of the newspaper. Although he was later to be known for his interest in theosophy, he oversaw the transformation of the newspaper to one of exercising great influence in British India.[3] In 1874, the weekly Pioneer Mail became the Pioneer Mail and India Weekly News and began to also feature short stories and travel writings.[4] Author Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), in his early 20s, worked at the newspaper office in Allahabad as an assistant editor from November 1887 to March 1889.[5][failed verification] In July 1933, The Pioneer was sold to a syndicate[6] and moved from Allahabad to Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, at which time the Pioneer Mail and India Weekly News ceased publication.[4]
The newspaper remained a primarily Lucknow-based paper until 1990, when it was purchased by the Thapar Group, under L. M. Thapar, who made it a national newspaper, published from Delhi, Lucknow, Bhubaneswar, Kochi, Bhopal, Chandigarh, Dehradun and Ranchi. Thapar sold the paper to its editor Chandan Mitra in 1998. At that time it had 484 employees. Mitra announced that he intended to seek other investors in due course rather than to remain the owner.[7] On 17 October 2010, The Pioneer launched its Hindi version of the newspaper from Lucknow [2] and in May 2012, the paper inaugurated its Raipur bureau, beginning operations of its Chhattisgarh edition.[8]
As of 2013[update] Chandan Mitra is the Editor-in-Chief of The Pioneer.

Hudson Mohawke - Satin Panthers (EP)
There are few young UK artists who can unite the affections of Chris Brown, Flying Lotus, Just Blaze, Battles and The Weeknd--however that's just the effect Hudson Mohawke's neon-lit take on postmodern R&B has on people. The Glaswegian producer's ascent has been swift and steady over the past few years. The one-two punch of the Polyfolk Dance EP and full-length Butter has made fans not only out of wide eyed clubgoers, but also the kind of critical minds in the position to make grand statements. One such grand statement in a recentissue of The Guardian called Hudson Mohawke ''the new J Dilla'' while placinghim atop a new generation of producers including Mark Ronson and Jamie xx. On 2009's Butter, HudMo took in a spectrum of influences ranging from Cybotron and Outkast to Aaliyah and Prince. Satin Panthers casts just as wide a net in its five tracks, with a particular eye on the energy of early rave records. Fusing the sound of contemporary American R&B and the still-present specter of classic UK rave may sound like an obvious proposition, but nowhere has it been executed so well as here.

We have covered several wallpaper changers for GNOME. Here is another one to add to the list.
Desktop Drapes is a simple wallpaper manager application for the GNOME desktop. It can automatically pick up any new wallpapers you have added to a directory and randomly change your wallpaper at regular interval, or whenever you fell like it.
Installing Desktop Drapes in Ubuntu is easy. Go to System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager. Search for 'drapes'. Check the box beside it and click Apply.
Once installed, you can start Desktop Drapes via System->Preferences->Desktop Drapes. There won't be any popup window or configuration menu. Instead you will find a new icon on the right of the top panel. Simply click on it to change your current wallpaper.
To configure Desktop Drapes, right-click on the icon and select Preferences. You won't see a window with many options. On the main screen, you will see your current wallpaper. To add extra wallpapers from other folders, click "Add".
On the General tab, you can choose whether you want Desktop Drapes to start and switch wallpaper when login. You can also set the timing to auto switch the wallpaper at regular interval.
Generally, this is a simple wallpaper changer that performs what it suppose to do: change wallpaper at regular interval. If you just want a simple set-and-leave-it wallpaper changer, then this would be the right choice. However if you want more functionality such as auto-download photos from Flickr, I would recommend Webilder.

Wednesday Walk: Amersham to Great Missenden - The Chilterns, Beech Woods, Toby's Lane and Little Missenden
Length: 16.3 km (10.1 miles)
Toughness: 4 out of 10 (more if Toby's Lane is muddy)
London Marylebone: 09-57 hrs Aylesbury Vale Parkway service
Arrive Amersham: 10-32 hrs
LT underground Baker Street: 09-33 hrs Amersham service
Arrive Amersham: 10-24 hrs
and wait at station for arrival of Aylesbury train (10-32 hrs)
Return: Great Missenden to Marylebone: 16-02, 16-32, 17-02, 17-29, 18-04 and 18-35 hrs
Rail ticket: a day return to Great Missenden (one stop beyond Amersham in travel zone 9) making use of any travel card you might possess.
A year ago we tried out this walk "backwards" on a Wednesday in January, and as it worked well, let's try it again !
From the railway station in Amersham New Town we head down through Parsonage Wood to the Old Town where we soon head uphill along the edge of a vast field (Gore Hill) to Coleshill. Onwards then to Winchmore Hill and Penn. I suggest we by-pass the two (very good) pubs in Penn and proceed through Penn Wood to Beamond End which soon connects with Toby's Lane, a long, potentially muddy or waterlogged way which heads due north between farms and farmland.This lane eventually drops down to the pretty village of Little Missenden, where we will stop for a late lunch at the pleasant Red Lion pub ('phoning ahead advised - 01494-862876 - e.t.a 13-20 hrs).
After lunch you head through woods and over fields and through a stud farm before a stretch over fields takes you to the outskirts of Great Missenden.
For tea in the High Street you have a choice of the popular Cross Keys pub, or Cafe Twit (part of the Roald Dahl Museum), or Matildas Cafe - all are close to the railway station for your journey home.

Legs n=11 today, including one first timer. Once again, the weather was much better than forecasted: w=mostly-sunny-and-very-mild, with no wind and no rain, and considerably warmer than of late; in fact, very pleasant walking conditions.
The mud was as forecasted, though: lots of it all day. Between Colsehill and Winchmore Hill the mud was unrelenting and hard work to get through, but later, in Penn Wood and along Toby's Lane, where I was expecting heavy duty mud and flooded paths, the conditions were not at all bad. We made Little Missenden in good time for our booking at the Red Lion, where six of us enjoyed a good, inexpensive lunch, served with a smile.
There was excitement in the village by the time of our arrival as a rare hawfinch had been spotted near the church, and twitchers with bins and telephoto lenses had descended in their numbers. Our sandwichers, on entering the churchyard to enjoy their picnics, probably disturbed the twitchers, and said hawfinch if it was still there, but the twitchers had a good opportunity to take plenty of pictures of our sandwichers, who gamely posed for them.
Excitement over, it was still sunny as we set out on the short afternoon leg of the walk, which was both pleasant and uneventful. On reaching Great Miss tea was taken by us "twits" in the so-named cafe, whilst two stopped for a tincture at the Cross Keys. Most of us were then on the 16-32 hrs train having enjoyed a good day's walking in the Chilterns, in excellent company.

text: I'm not sure if this is specific to receiving messages from Verizon customers, but when I do text this one person from Verizon and they send a long message, it splits it up into multiple messages and they all show up out of order in the conversation view. I've tried the SMS Time Fix app, but I don't know if I'm using it correctly. Either way, it's not working. Is there a way to fix this or possibly change the character limit so I can receive in one big block of text? It makes conversations so hard to read when I had to figure out which message goes where. I'm running AOKP's latest 4.2 ROM. It does it on stock ICS and Jelly bean too. Any help would be much appreciated.

Finished! I finished my lovely Grandpa Cardigan a couple of weeks ago. It's proven difficult to find the time to get photos taken, but I managed it last week!
I love this cardigan. It's relatively lightweight, and the pattern is SO pretty.
I did not get gauge specified in the pattern, so I did some math and figured out where I was in terms of the pattern sizes and dimensions.The gauge I got with Birte on size 7 needles was 27.5 stitches and 32 rows over 4 inches – 6.875 stitches per inch and 8 rows per inch (versus the pattern gauge of 5.5 stitches and 7 rows). I liked the drape of the fabric on this needle size, so I increased to a size 46/48 since because this size corresponded closest with the 38/40 size at the different gauge.
There are many tutorials and posts on the internet about what to do if the yarn you want to use for a specific pattern isn't the right gauge. Two blogs recently posted about this issue, and both do a great job explaining what to and how to do it:
Fringe Association's How to Account for Gauge Differences, and
TinCan Knits' How to Knit a Garment at a Different Gauge. TinCan's post also describes how to account for gauge discrepancies when knitting colorwork projects.
Luckily, because the pattern is vertical and repetitive, the row gauge being off was not the complication that it could have been. I just knitted until I had the right length dimensions.
I love this sweater (and I love the green-tan-red wooden buttons I found in my button box, purchased years ago from who knows where!).
[Did you notice the error I made in the cable patterning? Yeah, most knitters will, and it's very noticeable in the above photo. I didn't see it until I had completely finished the body of the sweater, and decided I'd rather live with it than rip out literally weeks worth of work (or rip it all the way back to the shoulder seam in one spot and knit it back up … Nope). I decided it will be the detail in the project which makes it imperfect, much like the myth of Amish Quilters making purposeful mistakes to show humility. Navaho weavers do something similar in their weaving, when they leave a small opening in the border, or a line running through the border, so that their creativity and spirit don't get stuck in the current project. For the Navaho, this is actually called the Spirit Trail or weaver's pathway (this is where the name of my company comes from; I was really taken with this concept, the spirituality behind it and the idea of freeing one's spirit and creativity to move from the current project into the next). The story of purposeful mistakes in quilting may be a myth, but the Spirit Trail in Navaho weaving is very real. So, it's my Spirit Trail. At least that's the story I'm sticking with. :-)]
Hey, did you notice that Shannon is having her Tops, Tanks & Tees KAL? I've never participated in a KAL before, but I joined this one. I'm starting a Vivian in Spirit Trail Sunna this afternoon. My hope is that by joining Shannon's KAL, i might actually finish this top in time to wear it sometime this season. Care to join? Details are on Shannon's blog!

Markaryan won the match-deciding point for the Skyhawks at No. 4 singles.
Skyhawks run NE10 win streak to 23 matches in clinching third-straight regular season crown
WORCESTER, Mass. (October 19, 2018) – Stonehill College, ranked No. 42 in the most recent Oracle/Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Division II rankings, clinched its third-straight Northeast-10 Conference regular season championship outright, after cruising to a 7-0 victory over Assumption College in NE10 women's tennis action at Assumption Tennis Courts today.
Stonehill enters next week's NE10 Tournament as the top seed for the third-straight year, having won 23-straight NE10 regular season match dating back to 2016. The Skyhawks have now won three-straight NE10 regular season titles, giving the program nine regular season crowns in program history overall. Senior Nicole Downey, sophomore Isabelle Porter and freshman Samantha Ormesher were all double-winners in leading the Skyhawks to the win.
Downey and junior Caroline Ray clinched the doubles point for Stonehill with their 6-4 decision at No. 3. Downey later added a 6-3, 6-1 victory at No. 5 singles against Assumption sophomore Valeria Sanchez. Freshman Emma Markaryan provided the match-clinching point for the Skyhawks with her 6-1, 6-1 win at No. 4 singles against junior Camille Latoni.
Porter and Ormesher notched a 6-3 win at No. 2 doubles for Stonehill. Porter, ranked No. 15 in the Oracle/ITA East Region singles rankings, added a 6-0, 6-3 win at No. 2 singles against senior Paige Benoit, while Ormesher defeated junior Maria Monje at No. 3 singles, 6-4, 6-2. Juniors Alexandra Vo and Annelise Howick also picked up singles points for the Skyhawks.
Benoit and sophomore Julia Chappell teamed up for a 7-5 triumph at No. 1 singles for Assumption against Vo and Howick, ranked No. 9 in the Oracle/ITA East Region doubles rankings.
Stonehill (10-1, 10-0 NE10) closes out its NE10 regular season schedule tomorrow, when it visits Southern New Hampshire University, ranked No. 10 in the Oracle/ITA East Region rankings, at 1 p.m. The Skyhawks will host an NE10 Tournament semifinal match next Friday, October 26, at 1 p.m. Assumption (8-4, 7-4 NE10) has earned an NE10 Tournament bid and will play a first round match on Wednesday.

The design of the piece has it's roots in the river. The title is A History of Water. My inspiration is water from many viewpoints. The painted blue river in the piece is based on the topography of the Connecticut and Ompompanoosuc River confluence, but there are also references of a view into mountains that feed the river, the surface of a pond, clouds, droplets hanging, falling, and held in suspension, ripples, waves, and the abundance of life that springs from a body of water, it's reflective quality as well as depth.
Leonardo da Vinci spent much of his life contemplating water, where it came from, how it moves, and it's potential for power as well as destruction. At one point he envisioned water moving through the earth much like a heart pumps blood through the body, with the heart of the earth pumping water to the mountain streams, until he began to take into account the formation of clouds and speculated that evaporation was a key to the movement of water. He sought an explanation as to why sea fossils could be found on the tops of mountains. I tell you this to illustrate the mystery that has surrounded the element of water from ancient times and even up until today when the oceans still hold a wealth of the mystery of earth. These are thoughts that go through my mind during the creative process and are encapsulated in this piece.

Wayward and emaciated fur seal pup turns up in Hayward
A northern fur seal pup turned up at the front door of a Hayward ironworks shop Wednesday morning, the latest example of how warm ocean waters and a lack of food are wreaking havoc on a range of marine mammals.
While there was some speculation that the pup had waddled out of the bay and across Interstate 880, it's more likely that he navigated up Alameda Creek, inadvertently ending up in a narrow canal that runs between the BART tracks and Industrial Boulevard in Hayward. From there, the sickly baby seal, weighing just over 15 pounds, climbed the embankment and made his way across the street to 650 Sandoval Way, home of Glazier Ironworks.
Several Glazier workers arrived at 5:45 to clock in, only to find a furry interloper camped out in some shrubbery in front of the entrance.
"I showed up to work and a co-worker said 'do I have to start right now? I have to call the police about this baby seal in the bushes,'" said Matt Van Valkenburg. "I laughed at him and said 'get to work, man.' Sure enough I walked over to the bushes and there was a little pup, looking really tired and really hungry."
After taking pictures and videos they called animal control and went to the market to get some fresh fish, which the seal had no interest in. "We had a guy sit out with him to make sure he didn't run away."
As it turned out, the little guy was familiar to the folks at the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito. Like the California sea lions and Guadalupe fur seals, starving northern fur seal pups have been stranding in record numbers over the past year. In 2015, the mammal center rescued more than 80 northern fur seal pups — three times the number it cared for in 2014 and more than twice the previous record set in 2006.
One of those 80 was the pup who ended up in Hayward, who volunteers named Pipester, according to Laura Sherr, spokeswoman for the Marine Mammal Center. Pipester was rescued November 7 at Moss Landing Harbor, 15 miles north of Monterey. He was released in late December and not heard from again until the Hayward police called Wednesday. In an incident report on the department website, Hayward police admitted that officers were skeptical when they got a call about the seal. "We were thinking it was probably a possum or weird cat but the caller insisted it was a seal," the department stated. "Lo and behold, it was a seal."
Marine Mammal Center officials say northern fur seal pups that have been rescued in increasing numbers were born in June on the Channel Islands, where they typically spend about four months nursing with their mothers before taking off on their own to live mostly swimming in the open ocean or on offshore islands. Northern fur seals are "smaller, furrier and feistier" than the California sea lion pups.
The seals being rescued in the Bay Area are "emaciated" — which essentially means they are skin and bones, and in the poorest state of nutrition, according to the center. This could be because the pups have trouble finding food once they weaned and went out on their own. Or it could be that their mothers were unable to provide enough fish for themselves, which could have prevented them from being able to generate enough milk for the pups.
Pipester will be examined on Thursday morning. It is likely that he will reside at the center until he has enough blubber to get another shot at independence. He weighs about 15.7 pounds. The center will keep him until he is between 26 pounds and 33 pounds.
"He could be here with us for a month or two," said Sherr. "We want to make sure he has the body resources to get out and swim to where the fish are."

Lake Bourget is one of the largest natural lakes in France. On the west side it borders with Abbey Otkomb, the last shelter of Italian kings, and on the eastern side with the resort with mineral waters Aix-les-Bains - thus Lake Bourget lies between mountains (Massif des Bauges) and vineyard (Chautagne).
Snow-covered peaks surrounding almost boundless lake (its water surface covers 44 square kilometers) give a special charm to the beautiful landscapes of the province. In Aix-les-Bains place on Lake Bourget took baths Charlemagne, Henry the4th and Queen Victoria, while in Evian on Lake Geneva regularly came sheikhs and princes from various countries.
