Playing With Pumpkins
A little at loose ends today, I've spent time in the sewing room playing with pumpkins. The cute little pieced background idea came from this blog: Quilt Granny's Shoe. Thanks, Sharon! The wonkiness seemed to suggest some wonky pumpkins (punkins) so I messed around with a blobby shape and came up with this guy. The letters were first located on the computer, then printed off in mirror image. This makes them all ready to trace onto fusible webbing without having to reverse them. Next up, I'll machine blanket stitch everything, add borders, sandwich and quilt. Maybe it will make it up by Fall!!!
Today is my best friend/husband's birthday. Instead of a cake, I got him a blackberry pie. He is more of a pie man than a cake man. I couldn't resist a slammy card which read: "You're not getting old...Hell, you were old last year!" We're not the mushy type LOL! He's three months older than I so I always delight in saying I married an older man!!! I still don't have his gift, but we are going truck-shopping this afternoon. Hmmm...should have gotten him a fishing pole while I had the chance.

Tomato Mania, Wonky Circles
One of my most favorite parts of summer is the taste of sweet homegrown tomatoes. The past few years we have had NONE, NADA, ZIP, NIL. Our friendly neighborhood groundhog has seen to that. He would just devour every little red orb right off the vine (and some green ones too!). So disappointing. This year my DH decided to plant his tomatoes at a different location, an area around a building he rents for his small business. Lo and behold, we had a bumper crop this year!!! We have supplied neighbors and friends with all they could eat and then some; we have eaten BLTs out the ying-yang; we have had fresh mozzarella and tomato slices on bruschetta; we have had tomato slices with our breakfast---well, you get the picture. I decided yesterday I wanted to have that precious tomato love in the coming winter too. Back in the day I would always freeze small batches of tomatoes for use in chili and soups. So....yesterday:
I blanched a few tomatoes at a time in a large pot of boiling water for about 1 minute, then plunged them into a bowl of ice water. The skins come off so easily! Then I cored and cut the tomatoes into 8ths (removing any tough or bruised parts) and ladled them into Ziploc 1-quart freezer bags. I put about 2 cups in each bag, labeled, and stuck them in the freezer. Most will go into this great recipe:
VEGGIE CHILI: Saute about 1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper and about 1/3 cup chopped onion in a large pot in a small amount EVOO (Rachael Ray's term for extra-virgin olive oil) till tender. Add 2 cans kitchen cut green beans, 2 cans dark red kidney beans, and 2 cans of peas--all of which have been drained well. Add 4 cups of the tomatoes which have been thawed and chili powder to taste (I use 2 Tablespoons). Let simmer for about 20 or 30 minutes. Enjoy!
For a little relaxation in the sewing room I pulled out these Jan Mullen books. I fell in love with this Australian designer's free and easy techniques the first time I saw her on Simply Quilts years ago. I had been wanting to incorporate a funky sun in a wallhanging and decided to play with her circles ideas. This one was flipped-n-sewn to a piece of batting. I'll use a lightweight interfacing fabric for the real McCoy. But it sure was a fun thing to putz around with!

Hot, Hot, Hot!
Like most of the country KC is in the throes of a heat wave. I am so ready for autumn! Not much sewing this week. DH had surgery for removal of his left thyroid and drainage of his right one. The surgery went well. The final pathology report did show microscopic cancer cells but the surgeon is certain he got all of it. We are hopeful.
I did get this little tomato block done for the Farmer's Market quilt we are doing on Pat Sloan's Yahoo group. Such fun! I love to go to local farmers markets. There is always such yummy fresh produce and lots of nifty little things to see, like homemade crafts and kittens in boxes. I especially like them in the fall (did I mention I am ready for autumn???) with all the gourds and pumpkins and Indian corn and bittersweet bunches. Bring it on!

In A Bind
Spent a morning recently making binding for the three quilts. I always manage to make way too much LOL --and I even measure! But it is okay to have some leftover for craft projects. Aren't toilet tissue rolls just the handiest for rolling the binding onto! They kinda look like flying saucers from this angle...
Done Done: Two donation quilts for Quilts in Force and Scrapbag Explosion!
It was a busy weekend trying to get these UFOs all finished and out of the sewing room. I must, must, must tidy up the area. It is so hard to concentrate when there are things piled everywhere--especially things that should be done and out the door!
Next up for finishing: Twelve Days of Christmas and Chocolates & Cherries. It still won't be a completely clean slate, but getting close. Sometimes UFOs don't bother me and other times they drive me up the wall. This is one of those "other times"!

Why do we need another Oncology Journal? Cancer doctors (oncologists) deal with many life & death problems. How do cancer doctors cope with death? Personally writing about patients has helped me, and I look for positive perspectives and news from the world. If you have anonymous stories that touch you emotionally, share them. Patients looking in just might also get a new view of their oncologist. This blog can be Googled; no identifiers please. ---- (Click on BLOG THIS! above to add a story)

text: Share: Comments Print April 2, 2013 at 4:10 AM Lawmakers reconsider severity of DUI laws Posted by Letters Coordinator Public officials have failed to protect the public from drunken drivers As one who has lived within two blocks of the horrendous DUI-instigated crash and deaths last Monday, I was outraged and discouraged by the statement of one of our state legislators in the excellent article Sunday addressing state DUI laws ["Do state DUI laws go far enough?" page one, March 31]. I have 24 years of service in the Army, 21 as military police officer, and have seen more than a few DUI-related incidents. The statement of Rep. Roger Goodman, the chairman of the House Public Safety Committee, "I don't know if we could have prevented a tragedy like that," exemplifies why our officials have failed to protect the public from people who appear to easily flout the law and drive whenever, wherever and in whatever condition they please. That drunken driver should have never have been allowed to remain on the street after his last arrest. At the very least, impound the offender's car and release it only after the offender has paid the impound fees and paid to have an ignition interlock device installed. To anyone with an ounce of common sense, we could have done a lot more to save two lives. Your solution, Mr. Goodman, to think of how to be "smart," is precisely the problem that prevents us from reaching effective solutions and saving lives that do not have to be lost. Passing laws that are not enforced and wringing our hands over preventable tragedies is a tragedy in itself. — John P. Bordenet, Redmond Legislators should consider wheel boots Just as with gun control, steps to deal with the incidences of DUIs on the road will never be perfect. But as with gun control, that's no excuse for failing to enact reasonable measures that can reduce the carnage. I suggest putting wheel boots on all vehicles owned by persons whose sentences include the requirement that breath-tested ignition locks be installed. Part of the fee for said installation would be a certification that the lock is working properly before removal of the wheel boot. Boots themselves would require a per-day fee to compensate localities for the expense of acquiring, storing and maintaining them. Ten dollars a day would probably do it. Legislators should also consider a boot process for people arrested for DUI, like the woman who scurried back to her car, still drunk, to drive it into an innocent fellow citizen. Rules for pre-conviction use of such a process would probably have to be less strict, of course, but surely there's a place for society to protect itself from such outrageous and costly irresponsibility. — George Randels, Port Townsend An engineering solution If engineers can create smart cars that don't get into accidents, they can also create devices that will lock the ignition of a car when a person is intoxicated so they can't drive. Courts can make it mandatory for every car. — Wendy Haber, Seattle Comments | More in alcohol, crime/justice | Topics: addiction, dui, pedestrians

If I am writing a paper in a foreign language and my works-cited list contains works in more than one language, should labels such as "edited by" be given in the foreign language or in English? Also, should the works-cited-list entry be punctuated according to the rules of the foreign language?
The language that you use to describe elements in your works-cited list should be the language that your paper is written in, which should also determine the punctuation used.
In other words, if your paper is in Spanish but you cite a work published in English in the works-cited list, use "editado por" instead of "edited by" and follow the rules of Spanish punctuation.

OHL strikes a blow against staged fights
By Stu Hackel
It's merely a half-measure, but a new rule in the Ontario Hockey League that goes into effect with tonight's games may be a first step toward getting all staged fights out of junior hockey...and a harbinger of change in the NHL.
Hockey fights are celebrated by some and reviled by others, but pre-arranged fights, which border on the artifice of pro wrestling, can draw the ire of even those who support general belligerence in the game, like Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke, who has called them "nonsense."
Two seasons ago, a highly publicized move by the NHL GMs to ban staged fights mysteriously vanished -- murdered, as it turned out, before an NHL-NHLPA Competition Committee meeting. Now, the ban idea has been revived, this time in major junior hockey. Quite unintentionally, it challenges the NHL to again try to adopt something similar.
On Wednesday, the OHL approved a new rule that punishes those who pre-arrange fights that take place at the start of games or periods. Turns out a similar rule has already been in place in the major junior Western Hockey League since 2008-09, but the publicity surrounding the OHL's could thrust the discussion back into the larger spotlight.
Speaking on Toronto radio station FAN 590 on Wednesday(audio), OHL commissioner David Branch said players in his league had even been setting up fights via those dastardly social networking sites on the internet. Branch doesn't consider staged fights to be a major problem -- they may have happened 10 times so far this season -- but he feels they are "ugly" and not in the best interests of his league. And he indicated this new rule could also be adopted by the third Canadian major junior league, the QMJHL.
The new rule reads:
"If two or more players should enter into a fight, prior to, or at the drop of the puck at the commencement of any period of a game, then such player(s) shall be assessed an automatic game misconduct in addition to any penalties assessed, the OHL Member Team shall be fined $500.00 and the player(s) suspended for one (1) game. For any subsequent offense by the same team, the fine shall increase in $500.00 increments, and for any subsequent offense by the same player, the minimum suspension would double from the previous occurrence."
Do the limitations of the OHL rule -- applied only to fights that are staged at the start of games or periods -- render it a merely cosmetic change? All two fighters who've agreed to go must do is skate around for a bit, then meet up and drop the gloves. But Branch said the rule can be seen as "stripping away another layer of addressing those issues you feel aren't necessary in our game."
The OHL rule does not go quite as far as the NHL's proposal 19 months ago, which sought to ban all staged fights, but it at least addresses the most egregious contrived bouts, in which absolutely nothing precedes the fisticuffs. For a few years prior, there had been a noticeable rise in them, and it sparked this discussion on an intermission segment over TSN:
The league's research in 2008-09 indicated there had been a 30 percent increase in fights right off of faceoffs over an eight-season span. But their proposal was immediately criticized by then-Canadiens enforcer Georges Laraque and summarily rejected by the NHLPA before it ever came to a vote in the competition committee. The PA -- then led by Paul Kelly, who, a few months earlier, had publicly questioned staged fights and the presence of one dimensional fighters in the game -- did an about-face and opposed the rule because PA members whose role in the game is primarily to fight and do little else pressured their leadership.
The reason the OHL could take this step and the NHL could not perhaps has more to do with that league's streamlined rule-making process. The OHL's five-man executive council approved it (unanimously, as it turns out) and sent it on to the OHL Board of Governors, who adopted it earlier this week. That was it and they decided to introduce it immediately.
"Why wait?" Branch reasoned, as did his league when it adopted in-season rule changes during the last few years against head checks and fighters removing their helmets as well as a rule mandating throat guards.
An NHL rule change these days typically involves lengthy study by GMs followed by a proposal that goes in front of the NHL-NHLPA Competition Committee so it can be amended, approved or rejected. If passed, the rule then goes to the NHL Board of Governors for final approval. Because of this process, rules are almost never introduced during the season. In the case of the staged fights proposal, the PA informed the league prior to the June '09 Competition Committee meeting that it wouldn't vote in favor, and so it was dropped.
But even before the OHL rule, the NHL indicated that it might try to revisit its wider proposal after Don Fehr becomes executive director of the NHLPA. In an e-mail to SI.com's Michael Farber last month, NHL Vice President of Hockey Operations Mike Murphy wrote, "We would still like to deal with this issue and will see if there is any appetite with the new leadership of the PA to have this discussion."
It's impossible to know right now where the NHLPA under Fehr will stand on this issue, but as the game continues to evolve and the role of one-dimensional players becomes further marginalized, perhaps conditions are changing and this time the ban on staged fights in the NHL will get some serious consideration.

Crazy $250 carbon fiber and titanium coaster
Carbon fiber and titanium are materials that are often used in the racing and aerospace industries. The materials are used because they are strong and very lightweight.
You don't often hear of carbon fiber and titanium being used in the coaster market though. A company called Black Badger has unveiled just such a coaster. Each of them is made from a patterned roll of carbon fiber and titanium.
The coasters are laser etched and numbered. Only 35 will be produced and will sell for $250 per pair. That is a crazy amount of money for a coaster that your guests won't use anyway.

The creator of Easy Rawlins, Socrates Fortlow and Fearless Jones introduces a new detective struggling to live down his checkered past in present-day New York.
Leonid McGill has never killed anyone maliciously, but he's done plenty of other bad things. Still working as a private eye in his 50s, he's decided to expiate his sins by going "from crooked to only slightly bent." So he's not eager to help Albany shamus Ambrose Thurman track down four men for vague and unpersuasive reasons, especially after he learns that one is dead, a second is in prison and a third is in a holding cell. Who pays $10,000 to locate men like these unless some further crime is involved? McGill isn't any happier about finding a union accountant for midlevel mobster Tony "The Suit" Towers. And he's deeply troubled when his computer spying in his own home tells him that Twill, his wife Katrina's 16-year-old son, plans to kill the father of a girl who's been sending him distraught e-mails. But the PI's heart drops to his shoes when he realizes that someone is executing the men he's been hired to locate for Thurman.
Plotting has never been Mosley's strong point, but McGill, a red-diaper baby, ex-boxer and a man eternally at war with himself, may be his most compelling hero yet.

A Deadly Kind Of 'Therapy'?
A new study has found a link between the economic "shock therapy" of mass privatization in postcommunist countries in the early 1990s and a surge in the death rate for working-age men. But one of the authors says it would be inaccurate to say that mass privatization policies are the direct cause of premature deaths.

EU 'Supportive' Of Nabucco
The ongoing dispute between Russia and Ukraine over natural-gas shipments to Europe has left the European Union eager to re-examine its options for fuel supplies. One alternative is the Nabucco pipeline, which would ship Central Asian gas directly to Europe and circumvent Russia altogether. Reinhard Mitschek is the managing director of the Nabucco pipeline. He spoke with RFE/RL about the future of Nabucco.

No Solution Yet To Gas Crisis, Russian President Says

Will Russia Lose Its Game Of Gas Roulette?
Having now denied many European countries gas for 10 days, Russia may have brutally exposed the vulnerability of the European Union. But it has also shot itself in the foot and forced the EU to get serious about cutting its exposure to Russian provisions. In the end, Moscow's only long-term reward may be the hope it has done irreparable damage to Ukraine's pro-Western ambitions.

Shot in 180°
Everything around you exists in a 360 degree field of view, our scenes are exactly half of that. WankzVR records and displays a field of view wider than the human eye so you can turn to the left or right, look up or down and see additional content that was not previously on screen.
Head Tracking
Head Tracking is technology that enables your VR device to determine where you head is within the virtual environment. Using this information, WankzVR can sense when your head changes direction or location and adjust what you see on screen accordingly.
Binaural Sound
Binaural recordings reproduce sound the way human ears hear it. The word "binaural" literally means "using both ears." When you listen to a WankzVR scene through headphones, you perceive distinct and genuine 360° sound.
Shot In
WankzVR scenes are recorded with two separate cameras placed the same distance apart as a humans eyes, each video is shot from a slightly different angle, then delivered to each of your eyes. This creates three dimensional depth, just like in real life.

Nonprofit organizations operate differently from a regular business report. This is because they don't earn a profit for what they do but instead, organize activities and events to support particular causes. As a donor, you'd want to know the credibility of such organization, right?
Most people refer to formal documents that express a nonprofit's history of accomplishments. This is typically stated in the organization's annual report. Through annual reports, nonprofits are able to provide an overview of the organization to their supporters and potential donors. This is done in order to gain funds to support their projects.
Accomplishments. Although nonprofits like to highlight the things that they have done, they won't matter as much as what you were able to accomplish from doing these activities. Construct your report writing in such a way that will make your readers understand the purpose of these activities to the organization's mission.
Real-life stories. The best way to make an emotional appeal is to gain testimonies from people who benefit from your cause. Provide supporting documents to prove this, such as videos and photos. This is a good way to develop trust from your donors and supporters as well.
Financial information. Nonprofits typically present their financial reports through charts and graphs. Make it a point to include a descriptive paragraph to explain the data that has been presented, as not a lot of people may fully understand it.
List of donors. While some donors may want to remain anonymous, there are still corporate donors who would appreciate the recognition. As a nonprofit, it's your responsibility to express your utmost gratitude to these donors. Although it may not be possible to mention them one by one, try to relay your thanks somewhere in the free report examples.
A nonprofit annual report should include the organization's achievements, financial statements, expression of thanks, and a call to action. Unlike a business report, a nonprofit report is not a legal requirement. It is made for the benefit of the organization and the individuals involved. Supporters and donors are considered to be the readers of such technical report, as this is a document that informs them of the organization's operations. It should provide a quick run through of significant events in the past year.

The Democratic Republic of Nepal is located in the Himalayas of South Asia, and it is landlocked by India and the Chinese region of Tibet. The mountains of northern Nepal are home to eight of the ten tallest peaks in the world, including the highest, Mount Everest. The capital and largest city of Nepal is Kathmandu, having a population of over 2.6 million people. Historically a monarchy, Nepal was ruled by the Shah dynasty of kings from 1768-2008. The civil war of 1996-2006, between Maoist fighters and the existing government, ultimately led to the end of the monarchy and the establishment of a secular democratic republic. Nepal is relatively low on the U.N. human development index, with their economic growth continuing to be stunted by political uncertainty.
There is little recorded Christian activity in Nepal before the 20thcentury. Most of the recorded activity came from the migration of those who came back to Nepal from other parts of the world. The work of William Carey in India, and his translation of the New Testament into Nepali, also played the important role in Nepali Christianity. One man, Ganga Prasad Pradhan (1851-1932), was born in Kathmandu in wealthy Newar family, but was raised in Darjeeling, India. It is there that he became a Christian. He is known as first ordained Nepali pastor. He labored to translate the Bible and other evangelistic material into the Nepali language in 1914. He returned with his family to Katmandu to establish a Christian presence in Nepal, but he was soon expelled by the Rana rulers. In 1951, King Tribhuvan opened Nepal's borders and invited the world to assist in Nepal's development. This now opened the door for the foreign missionary to enter. It is said that the first church was formed in 1952. Mission's originations soon started hospitals, nursing colleges, clinics, and schools. Even though they were forbidden to convert people to Christianity, these institutions played a vital role in its development. After the institution of the multi-party democracy in Nepal in 1990, a new constitution brought more freedom for Christian activities. However, in recent days, we have seen this freedom restricted by the government, as they are now instituting laws that would prevent the spreading of the gospel. The need for more laborers is great, for Nepal has the fifth highest number of unreached people groups in the world.

Very shoddy quality recordings
Bradley Olson | Bemidji, MN United States | 06/26/2001
(1 out of 5 stars)
"Don't pay attention to the previous reviews. With the exception of very few tracks such as "I've Had The Time Of My Life" from Dirty Dancing, and the Rambo soundtrack version of "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother," this compilation is full of re-recorded hits, not good ones at that. Even the classic "Brown Eyed Woman" is a poor re-recording on here while the original is on Rhino's 2 CD set on the Righteous Brothers. Curb does so many shoddy compilations that in the words of a chat partner of mine online, Mike Curb should be gone."
Bill Medley is my favorite. I love his voice & his looks.

The noises that come from the upstairs apartment are one of the great mysteries of apartment living. There's a reason though that it sounds like the people upstairs are constantly dropping bowling balls wrapped in chains on the floor -- because they are. If you think that your upstairs neighbors are purposely trying to screw with your head, you're most definitely right.

Had a great, but exhausting, time at Ad Astra this weekend.
Arrived around 5:30 and got settled in, wandering the lobby and meeting friends I'd not seen since WorldCon in August or Ad Astra '09.
I kicked off the con at 8, moderating the "Critiquing Groups" panel with old friends David Nickle and Suzanne Church and new friends Megan Crewe and Lorne Kates. This group was a lot of fun, with each panellists bringing a slightly different take on and experience with critiquing groups.
At 10, I moderated the "Grassroots on Virtual Soil" panel about using online tools to market yourself and make connections as a writer with Justine Lewkowicz, Cathy Palmer-Lister and CZP author Douglas Smith. Though it started a little slow (thankfully, I had an agenda to keep us going), we quickly picked up steam, covering different tools and tactics one can use online, and we ran about 10 minutes long—thankfully we were the last panel so no one came to kick us out.
I then retired to the Green Room, where a good chunk of the CZP family had taken over part of the room and stayed up to much too late.
The 11 o'clock ChiZine Publications Panel felt a lot earlier than it was, but it was the first time CZP staff and authors have come together in such a large group. Representing CZP was:
- Brett Alexander Savory
- Sandra Kasturi
- Gemma Files
- David Nickle
- Claude Lalumière
- Douglas Smith
- Helen Marshall
- Laura Marshall
- Erik Mohr
- And yours truly
With Bob Boyczuk out in the audience.
After lunch with friends, I went for a swim with my wife and was then off to the 3 o'clock panel for The East Block Irregulars (Hayden Trenholm, Derek Kunsken, Elizabeth Westbrook-Trenholm, Marie Bilodeau, Peter Atwood and me). It felt a bit self-indulgent, but the EBI has been a strong and effective critiquing group and I think the audience learned a lot from how we've run ourselves.
After flaking out for a bit and supper with Doug Smith, the CZP Launch Party started at 7 with readings from David Nickle, Claude Lalumière, Gemma Files and Douglas Smith. I went up to the bar to grab a drink, but ran into the East Block Irregulars and stayed with them for a bit before heading back up to the Green Room, where again I stayed later than I should. But, I got to talk to some people I hadn't had the chance to like Michael Rowe, Gemma Files and Michael Kelly.
I passed the morning in the dealer's room with Brett Savory, making rude jokes and talking about next steps for CZP (which are not mutually exclusive topics!). At noon, I moderated the "Writing & Time Management" panel with Suzanne Church, Sephera Giron, Eileen Bell and Michael Rowe. This panel, which I had pictured as being about "trying writing while waiting for the laundry to finish in the dryer" or "Set deadlines and stick to them" quickly evolved to something else: The idea that writers do have the time, but the internal critic tells them "This is a waste" and "You're no good." It's hard to capture, but the panellist really got at the heart of what it means to be a writer. You have to want it and be willing to sacrifice other things. If you can do that, writers will find the time. Otherwise, if you don't truly want to be a writer, you will keep making excuses.
The "Publicity – The Good, The Bad and the Bonkers" panel with Kelley Armstrong, Peter Watts and Carolyn Clink was a bit more upbeat, trading amusing stories of publicity gone wrong and publicity gone right.
When that panel wrapped up, I said some quick good-byes and was back on the road to Ottawa, where I managed to get some much-needed rest.

Buffalo New York Foreclosure Help, Defense, Laws and Process
Foreclosure market is very high and more properties continue to face property foreclosure and because of this problem over the past years opportunities for investing foreclosure are common.
Sales are becoming more popular as people seek advice from the government agencies in investing into real estates.
Sales are becoming more popular when buying foreclosure because of its huge discount that they offer.
A special foreclosure course is given to guide you when buying foreclosure properties.
It is equally important to have knowledge about the investment for avoidance of being caught in foreclosure and you can achieve this by attending a foreclosure course to guide you when buying a property.
New York foreclosure is a judicial and states that 10 business days copy of a recorded notice of default is sent by qualified mail to the borrowers at all addresses provided.
In 30 days a copy of notice of failure to pay is sent by qualified mail to the new owners and all junior liens to the legal document being foreclosed.
A trustee sale report is prepared from the title company providing vital information and then the foreclosure remains inactive for the next 60days unless the borrower repair credit.
New York law says that publication period begins when redemption period has already expired and the notice of trustee sale is published at least ones in a week for three consecutive weeks. The final date is established by adding another 20 days to the notice of sale that was first advertised in the newspaper.
In 21 days period to sale date, the notice of trustee sale must be recorded in the region in which the asset is situated
Stop Foreclosure in New York, Buffalo
- Judicial foreclosure is the most universally used in New York. Where the lender must sue the borrower in court and get a judgment foreclosure.
- A summon and a complaint is then filed together with a record notice of a pending suit. Then the borrower is given twenty days to appear in court to answer and if nothing is done then the lender will go ahead and acquire a summary judgment.
- A referee is a pointed to determine the amount owned and how the goods shall be disposed, He then files the report with the court and after confirmation by the court the report enters a judgment of sale and in this point the process might take 12-18 months.
- A notice of sale is then published for around four to six weeks and the government assistance may perform the task at the time and place mentioned in the notice of sale.
- Officer carrying out the exercise will carry out a deed to the successful bidder and when sale is complete winning bidder will then deposit 10% bid price at the time of sale.

Mustard spreads on to cable TV
From today, Mustard TV is available in the Norwich area on Virgin Media channel 159. Until now, the service has been exclusive to 160,000 Freeview and YouView viewers. The additional coverage via Virgin Media means an extra 30,000 homes will be able to watch the channel, which first launched in March 2014.
In a press release issued by owners Archant, Jeff Henry, Chief Executive of Archant said: 'I am delighted that Virgin subscribers in our franchise area will be able to enjoy Mustard TV. They can watch local TV at its best and join our rapidly growing audience. Mustard TV provides a genuine local feel which differentiates it in a crowded channel offering."
Early, but limited indicators suggest Mustard TV has been doing well among its local audience, having avoided some of the more high profile teething problems that have dogged other local TV start-ups, such as London Live.

Nicollet Island
Nicollet Island is an island in the Mississippi River just north of Saint Anthony Falls in central Minneapolis, Minnesota. According to the United States Census Bureau the island has a land area of 194,407 square metres (0.075 sq mi) and a 2000 census population of 144 persons.[citation needed] The island makes up a large part of the city-designated Nicollet Island/East Bank neighborhood. The island is named for cartographer Joseph Nicollet, who mapped the Upper Mississippi in the 1830s.[1]
The island lies in the middle of the Mississippi, crossed by the Hennepin Avenue Bridge connecting Downtown and Northeast Minneapolis. The island is so near to Saint Anthony Falls that if the northward movement of the falls had not been stopped in the late 19th century, the island would no longer exist.[2] In the early 19th century Nicollet Island was one of six islands near the falls, but all the others have been destroyed or joined to the east bank.[3]
The island was the site of the first bridge across the Mississippi River, opened in 1855, on the site of the present Hennepin Avenue Bridge. It is part of Saint Anthony Falls Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Native American history[edit]
Before the arrival of European settlers, the Minneapolis region was inhabited by the Sioux (Dakota) and Ojibwe people, to whom Saint Anthony Falls was a sacred site.[4] The Sioux used the island as a birthing place, and according to their oral tradition for ceremonies such as the vision quest and as a neutral meeting site.[5]
Nicollet Island and the rest of the area of the falls were opened to settlement in 1838. Several settlers tried to obtain the best land near the falls, of whom Fort Snelling's sutler, Franklin Steele, took the best part of the east bank including Nicollet Island.[6] He purchased the land for $1.25 per acre, which comes to about $60 for the island.[7] After Steele obtained proper title to his land in 1848, he turned his energies to building a sawmill at Saint Anthony Falls to cut lumber from upriver, which began operations in September 1848. He built a dam on the east channel of the river between Nicollet Island and Hennepin Island. Steele platted the townsite of St. Anthony, which became a large city before merging with Minneapolis in 1872, on the east bank of the river.[8] In 1848, Steele started a ferry across the river on the present site of the Hennepin Avenue Bridge.[9][7]
In 1849 the first house was built on the island, for John Wesley and Ann Loomis North. Over the 1850s and early 1860s, more houses were built on the island, including several built by Franklin C. Griswold (some of which are extant, Griswold's own at 163 Nicollet Street). The island remained thickly covered with trees, and was described as a picturesque location frequented by lovers.[10] A bridge was built between Nicollet Island and the east bank, and in 1854, Minneapolis and St. Anthony decided to build a bridge across the river. The suspension bridge that was built was the first ever to cross the Mississippi, and it opened with festivities on 23 January 1855. It was a toll bridge, originally charging 5 cents per pedestrian and 25 cents per team. The bridge was unsound and had limited capacity: photographs show signs that warned of fines for crossing too fast. The bridge brought the two communities closer together, leading to St. Anthony's later merge with Minneapolis.[11][7]
Late 19th century[edit]
Extensive development of the island began after it was bought by William W. Eastman and John L. Merriam in 1865. In 1866, Eastman and Merriam tried to sell the island to the city of Minneapolis, to be a park, but the proposal was rejected in a referendum.[12] Eastman and Merriam began building mills on the south side of the island and the Hennepin Island tunnel, and residential buildings on the north side. The Hennepin Island tunnel extended from Nicollet Island to the south end of Saint Anthony Falls via Hennepin Island. The tunnel collapsed in 1869, and almost destroyed Saint Anthony Falls, necessitating the building of an artificial apron for the waterfall.[13] After the failure of the tunnel, Eastman built a system of turbines and cables to provide hydropower to factories on the south end of the island, including the Island Power Building (razed in 1937, it contained a variety of shops), a plant of the Cedar Lake Ice Company, and the Island Sash and Door Company (now the Nicollet Island Inn).[12]
Eastman had his relatives and friends build their houses on the island, and built the Eastman and Grove Street Flats. Eastman's efforts lead many of the city's Gilded Age wealthy to live on the island, in the later decades of the 19th century. In 1876, a replacement suspension bridge across the Mississippi was opened. In 1867 the first railway bridge across the Mississippi in Minneapolis was built, separating the industrial south of the island and the residential north, as the Minneapolis BNSF Rail Bridge (an 1893 replacement) still does.[14][15]
In 1893, northeast Minneapolis was devastated by one of the most damaging fires in Minneapolis history, which started on Nicollet Island. In 1900 Lasallian Brothers started DeLaSalle High School on the island.[16]
20th century[edit]
From the 1910s, Nicollet Island and the rest of the Gateway District declined, and the flats and houses on Nicollet Island were subdivided to create cheaper housing.[16] The island became a poor neighbourhood, owned by a few landlords, who provided little maintaince to its residential buildings. The family of Morris Lerner came to own much of the island, and ran the Island Grocery there. The Lerners were described as generous by sometime tenants and ran their store at a loss, but were described as slumlords by disgruntled tenants and the city newspapers.[17] During the 1960s, David Lerner entered into a long and public dispute with Nicollet Island residents who formed a tenants union. The tenants picketed outside his store and his home on Cedar Lake, and in response Lerner told a newspaper that his tenants were either "nice ones" or "pigs", citing the poor condition his tenants left his properties in.[18] In the 1940s, the iconic Grain Belt Beer sign was erected on the island, at the time one of the largest neon signs in the country. DeLaSalle expanded over the 20th century, demolishing and building on the site of the Eastman Flats. It became a college preparatory school, and went coeducational in 1971 by absorbing a Catholic girls' school.[19]
Starting in the 1950s, northern downtown was redeveloped by the city and state government, which made numerous plans to redevelop the island. Most proposals involved razing the historic buildings of the island, and in many cases replacing them with new buildings such as high-rise apartments.[7][16] In addition to various housing developments, proposals included a parking lot, an amusement park, a "historic village", and a conservation museum. City agencies favored using the island to increase recreational space near Downtown.[20][21] Island residents resisted any change. In the 1970s, the island became a concern of preservationists and was included with the rest of the Saint Anthony Falls district on the National Register of Historic Places.[16]
In the 1970s the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board made plans to make most of the island into an open area, which initially called for razing the buildings on the island, citing the cost of restoration and the value of a larger park near Downtown. In 1979 the Park Board began acquiring large parts of the island with funds from the Metropolitan Council, with a plan that would keep only the houses on the west side of the island, making the east side an open space, and keeping only the Island Sash and Door Company among the island's other buildings.[22][23][24] Because of the concerns of preservationists and residents, a further compromise redevelopment plan was made, and finalised in 1983. Following this plan, the Park Board restored the homes on the island and now owns them, but the previous residents were allowed to remain with 99-year leases despite the high cost of restoration.[16][25][26] The controversies resurfaced when DeLaSalle tried to build a football field,[22] which only went ahead after a ruling by the Minnesota Court of Appeals in 2007.[27]
DeLaSalle High School, a Catholic, preparatory high school, and the Nicollet Island Inn are located on the island, as well as three multi-family residential buildings and twenty-two restored Victorian-era houses on the north end of the island.[29] The Inn was built in 1893 as the Island Sash and Door Company, and was a Salvation Army men's shelter from 1913 to the 1970s.[30]
The south end of the island is home to the Nicollet Island Pavilion event center and the Bell of Two Friends, a gift from the city of Ibaraki, Osaka, Japan.[31] The pavilion was built in 1893 as the William Bros Boiler Works.[32][33]

QCINEMA 2017: 9 Films We Are Excited To See
We have always been very vocal about our filmfest-crush with QCINEMA. Simply because they program the best selection of local and international films – and we always strike gold among the titles and even from non-prize winners. And also, it charms us more when a local festival does not call so much attention to itself. This festival let the films present themselves to moviegoers without so much funfare.
This year's edition is highlighted by the addition of more competition films in different sections. Ed Lejano's QCINEMA is sure to dazzle the cineastes. Properly called, the QC International Film Festival, it will open on the 19th of this month with the breathtaking oil-painted film, Loving Vincent. And it does also titillate as the festival is not exactly Filipino-centric, but more aptly deemed buzz-generative with lots of international flairs.
Here are some of the films on this year's edition that we are very much excited to see:
A Grand Prix winner at Cannes 2017, BPM (Beats Per Minute) is a French drama about the HIV/AIDS activists in Paris during the 1990s. Directed by Robin Campillo, BPM is deemed an important picture that tackles the early onset of the disease as it rapidly becomes a pandemic
Beach Rats
This Sundance megahit invokes the throwback beauty of a 16mm film as it captures the yearning and confusion of adolescent turmoil. Written and directed by one of the most exciting female filmmakers to come out of the fest circuit, Beach Rats is Eliza Hitman's sophomore feature.
The Square
After the heartbreaking exclusion of his film Force Majeure at the Oscars some years back, Ruben Ostlund returns with Cannes 2017 Palme d'Or winner The Square – a decadently satirical film about art installations in Sweden. Having been recently selected as Sweden's official entry to the Academy Awards, The Square is so far the frontrunner for the Best Foreign Language Film award.
Tom of Finland
Finland's Official entry to the 2018 Academy Awards is a biographical drama about a war veteran who became internationally renowned for his drawings of extremely muscular and sexualized male figures. Tom of Finland is directed Dome Karukoski, considered as one of the most successful Finnish filmmakers ever – who has been in over 30 festivals, and whose films are both blockbusters and internationally acclaimed.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer
Universally acclaimed, Sacred Dear is the much anticipated film by Yorgos Lanthimos which starred Hollywood megastars Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell. This psychological horror film premiered at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival and went head to head with The Square for the highest festival prize. Lanthimos, world-famous for Dogtooth, has been dubbed as one of the most idiosyncratic filmmakers in the world. This film about a surgeon and a mysterious boy won the Best Screenplay award at Cannes, and his third time to present his film at the said world's most prestigious film competition.
You've just got to hand it to Alexey Zvyagintsev - quite possibly, the greatest filmmaker of contemporary art, thus far. Zvyagintsev's pictures are rolled down very simply, and naturally - and at times - uneventful. But as he reels you in, you are immensely captured to be involved, and not just remain a mere spectator. His domestic dramas often expose the decay brought upon by the corruption and sociocultural decline of modern revisionist Russia. After the magnificent Elena, and the masterful Leviathan, here comes another Cannes firestarter – a missing-child procedural this time.
The Ashes And Ghosts Of Tayug 1931
One of the most interesting filmmakers to come out in the dawning of digital cinema in the Philippines is a Pangasinense named Christopher Gozum. He is initially known as an OFW filmmaker whose films range from a returning poet to a migrating husband, and now to a filmmaker investigating about the uprising led by a townsfolk hero. Gozum is a four-time Cinemanila winner and a two-time Palanca awardee, one of which is the screenplay based on the story of Pedro Calosa that would become the basis of the "Ghosts of Tayug 1931." We are doubly excited to see the film because of Gawad Urian winner Fe Gingging Hyde.
Kulay Lila Ang Gabi Na Binudburan Pa Ng Mga Bituin
Only because this is written by critically acclaimed screenwriter Jim Flores (Tuli, BoY, Raket ni Nanay), Kulay Lila is just as exciting as its dramatic possibilities where a couple is given a chance to fix their marriage with the aid of a retreat program.
A Prayer Before Dawn
VARIETY dubbed this film "hypnotic and bone-shattering" based on the true accounts of an American man in a Thai prison who had to join a violent Muy Thai boxing competition in order to survive his ordeals. This Jean-Stephane Sauvaire film premiered at the Midnight Screenings of Cannes 2017, and is now being distributed and championed by A24 company in the US.
Here is the list of other films screening, competing, and wowing the audience from October 19-28:

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 without any doubt is one of the best smartphones in the world, both in terms of capabilities and performance. But the Korean manufacturer plans to release its more enhanced version in this August 2016.
No one, and certainly not to Samsung, you do not need to explain how important it becomes for smartphone manufacturers in Chinese market. As the model or specs of any good brand is announced, Chinese market is already on manufacturing phase. The problem lies in the fact that it was on the market appeared lately and a lot of Chinese manufacturers of smartphones which are even equipped with 6 GB of RAM (or even more).
In contrast, the standard version of the popular smartphone Samsung has only 4 GB RAM, so in the eyes of potential Chinese customers Note 7 does not look quite as good as they prefer their local producers.
Because Samsung has confirmed that the market will introduce more "coolest" version of the Galaxy Note 7, which will be equipped primarily with 6 GB of RAM, and also with a storage of builtin 128 GB of memory for data (standard 64 GB), the second slot for the SIM card (probably interchangeably Micro SD) and processor Snapdragon 820.
Everything would be beautiful, if not the fact, that probably 6-gigabyte version Note 7 will be destined exclusively for the Chinese market - at least in the initial period of the sales representatives of the company did not rule out. However, the phone will go to other markets, including Europe. The stunning Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will most probably hit the market on 26th of August 2016.
Thus, if someone want to get hands on the smartphone, they can order the phone from China.

Here are the images I promised on the WIFF I was able to get a hold of the, possibly original, negatives to scan. Bill Purdue, pilot type in Academics, knew I was working on that B-52 stuff for the 11th and allowed be to borrow them for a day or two. These were scanned in 600 dpi, so they could be turned into a 11×16 size picture without loosing any quality.
Almost forgot, James Yellowstone was about 1 ½ hours from where I went to school in Bozeman. Occasionally my roommates & I would take off and stay in West Yellowstone to hunt elk. From what mom tells me, Yellowstone has done a good job recovering from the huge fires in the mid to late 80s.
A side note for those ever heading to Glacier National Park according to the Park Rangers, all the glaciers in that area will be gone by 2012!
Bob & Yak hope youre doing okay down there!

New Official Portrait of Queen Elizabeth Unveiled
A new portrait of the Queen to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee has been unveiled in Australia. Painted by Australian-born artist Ralph Heimans, it depicts the Queen in the Sacrarium of Westminster Abbey.
The magnificent artwork shows the Queen in a moment of solitary reflection at the centre circle of the Cosmati pavement, exactly where she was crowned over 60 years ago. The Cosmati pavement is the spot ever English monarch has been crowned since it was commissioned by Henry III in the 13th century.
The painting, which is the only official portrait of Her Majesty in her Diamond Jubilee year, was unveiled on Friday by the Australian Governor-General Quentin Bryce. It depicts the Monarch in full regalia, including robes and her coronation jewellery, amid the grand architecture of Westminster Abbey. Entitled The Coronation Theatre, Westminster Abbey: A Portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, it is part of a new display marking the Diamond Jubilee.
Mr Heimans gave explained what he tried to achieve through the portrait: "Through the narrative of the portrait I wanted to produce a work of particular significance for the Diamond Jubilee. By representing the Queen as she reflects on this incredible milestone in her life, I wanted to explore the dynamic between her public role and the personal, emotional dimension. "
"I hope there is a degree of humanity uncommon in traditional Royal portraits. I wanted her expression to be open to interpretation so that people could imagine what she was thinking at that moment, but I think there is a sense of tenderness and soulfulness, as well as nostalgia and contemplation. But there is also a suggestion of her inner strength. She has an extraordinary aura and a real energy and presence." He added that he was inspired by Westminster Abbey itself: "The setting of Westminster Abbey is the most aesthetically spectacular an artist could ever choose. That inspired me."Filed under The United Kingdom

Not sure about this. She looks too melancholy to me. I would have rather seen a smile when she is looking at that spot. To me she's thinking is "why did this happen to me, and ruin my life".
Great portrait, shows our Queenin reflective moodmm
Well, many wish to see a smile, but that is not the style of this artist. As the one of Crown Princess Mary of Denmark was without a smile, it is traditionally Victorian. Queen Victoria did not like when one would smile in a photo or a portrait for it makes them look like they do not take their role seriously. I for one love this and all other paintings done by this artist! 🙂
Wonderful piece of art ! Very talented! Very inspiring!
This portait is absolutely magnificent our Queen looks splendid in her Royal robes and the surroundings are perfect.

Published at Thursday, August 16th, 2018 - 13:41:59 PM. Bedroom. By Geraldina Sauer.
Not sure about the difference between Baroque and Rococo? In short, Baroque refers to a period spanning from the 17th century until the beginning of the 18th century and is epitomized by Louis the XIVth and Versailles. It is opulent and a heavier style – more "serious." Rococo is often considered a subset of the Baroque era, sometimes even called late Baroque. It is typically lighter, more feminine and whimsical. Giving a bedroom a touch of Baroque or Rococo is easy to do. Personal preference will drive how much of the look is appropriate for you.
For example, you can use it for writing on a notepad or knitting an article of clothing. The swing arm component of these type of lamps make it easy to spot the difference between them and the regular lamps. The swing arm component often have two horizontal bars (attached with a hinge) sticking from the lamp. This allows it to swing 360 degrees and to reach out to a certain length (depending on the lamps design).

Older men are more likely than young ones to father a child who develops autism or schizophrenia, because of random mutations that become more numerous with advancing paternal age, scientists reported on Wednesday, in the first study to quantify the effect as it builds each year. The age of mothers had no bearing on the risk for these disorders, the study found.The study was done by a research group in Iceland and just published in the journal Nature, albeit reported in today's New York Times, and elsewhere. To be sure, the effect is not huge, but it seems clear, nonetheless.
The overall risk to a man in his 40s or older is in the range of 2 percent, at most, and there are other contributing biological factors that are entirely unknown.So, the lesson seems to be that delaying childbearing is not just a decision that a woman needs to contemplate, but men are also an important part of the equation. This is a new kind of gender equality.
But the study...provides support for the argument that the surging rate of autism diagnoses over recent decades is attributable in part to the increasing average age of fathers, which could account for as many as 20 to 30 percent of cases.
