Sotto Voce Wine & Pasta Bar
Top Tags:
I took a chance on Sotto Voce based on the reviews on Open Table. I'm so glad I did. The restaurant is small but has great ambience. All the tables were full as was the bar and it was a constant flow of people. There was a real neighbourhood vibe to it. The service was excellent, the food was amazing and great value. We all loved this Sotto Voce and will definitely be back.
Food was great! Very friendly staff. Just got very loud as the evening went on. Would definitely go back!
Food is always delicious and priced well. It's a smaller restaurant but we enjoy the cozy atmosphere.
It was crowded and incredibly noisy. The music was blaring and it was impossible to have a conversation.
Im sorry you didn't enjoy Sotto Voce, unfortunately we just aren't everyone's bowl of pasta. Our sincerest apologies but our loud music, lots of members of our community dinning, laughing and enjoying our menu and wine is what has defined us for 20 years.
This was my first visit - I don't go to Little Italy very often - but I will definitely be back.
I wondered why they gave us a teeny table for 2 when we checked in for our 6:15 pm reservation as we were the only diners. It quickly filled with neighbourhood folks. Even though there was a huge Monday night blizzard going on outside, the place was full by 8 pm.
The menu is classic Italian with some nice additions. There were quite a few specials to choose from too. We shared a few appetizers: meatballs (3 medium sized beef and pinenut with a lovely tomato sauce), sauteed Brussels sprouts, rappini, and beet-arugula-goat cheese salad. The decaf Americanos were fabulous, as I would expect in an Italian restaurant.
I really liked the vibe and if I lived nearby I would be eating at Sotto Voce a lot!
Food was good; menu was interesting, but noise level was unbearable. Will not be returning.
Consistently delicious food. Pasta and polenta dishes were outstanding and served hot. Service is very attentive and Anita the owner welcomes you to her restaurant as a guest in her home! Always a great atmosphere with energetic tunes and ambience. Always a fun evening that flies by at Sotto Voce. Thanks for another fantastic evening!
Walked into a very friendly and welcoming staff! Food was delicious, the Del Mare pasta is a must try! Also the lamb was outstanding. The service was on point, we will definitely be back!!
thank you so much...Hope to see you again soon!
Great atmosphere and food. Service was slow but I think their patio was busy. I do think the other staff should have asked if we needed anything other than just focusing on their own guests.
The food here was nowhere near as good as I thought it would be, especially considering the cost. Everything was underseasoned and my potatoes were undercooked. I would not recommend eating here.
Food and service were very good. Seating a little cramped and noise from patrons and music a little too high.
Always consistent, always great food and service. a small and intimate Toronto gem.
Great food, service was exceptional and ambiance was just right.
lovely time as always and great food recommend for sure!!
We had a Delicious meal, excellent service, lovely ambiance // great patio. ! We will definitely be. Back !!
The food and service are always excellent. It always feels like we are in someone's own kitchen enjoying fresh and wonderful items. My husband loves the steak and also the shrimp pasta. I adore both their bruschetta and risotto of the day.
Delicious food, wonderful service... well-priced menu!! we will definitely be back!!
Always a wonderful experience. Great food and staff. My favorite when I am in Toronto
The food and service were top notch no complaints and I think would go back, the outdoor patio was a bit noisy and not most comfortable but ok. Inside just too noisy for a nice dinner and reason for picking outside.
Overall good experience
We have been for a few meals definitely a cut above in food and service. Definitely try it out.
What a lovely group of people working the evening I was dining!
Both my companion & I thoroughly enjoyed our menu choices & would return in a heartbeat!
Delicious food, great service and really went above and beyond to accommodate us! Thanks for a great evening!
This little gem has been a consistent piece of heaven for years.... always recommend it to anyone in the city that seeks authenticity. Love.
Great spot and staff are fantastic- we will go again - thank you!
Horribly slow service, main dishes arrived 1.15 hrs after order was processed. Extremely rude manager and entitled server. Mediocre food for dishes that did arrive. Hands down, worst serviced restaurant in Toronto. Will not be returning, would highly NOT recommend.
It's unfortunate that I am leaving such a review as I was looking forward to dining here. I used to live in the neighbourhood and passed by this restaurant frequently. It wasn't the fact that the food arrived so late (the food that did arrive), accommodations could've been made accordingly. What was most insulting was the manager who attempted to put me in my place by telling me "actually" my order was inputted less than an hour ago. What the manager failed to realize was that actually it was an hour post order when she said that, and she also failed to acknowledge that we were waiting to even INPUT our order. We had to flag down the waitress to place our orders. The consistent excuse given was "the restaurant is small" - I've been to smaller restaurants with better and quicker service. This is unacceptable and I can see why they've downsized in space over the years.
Lovely little place, with a nice selection of dishes on the menu. The food was delicious and presented appetizingly, from the Tres Medi and meatball appetizers to the creamy Risotto & also branzini dish.
Service was fantastic, we had a nice comfy spot on the patio. We found the prices were very reasonable and of great value compared to the many nice dining places in downtown Toronto. Look forward to returning!
Staff were amazingly intuitive and accommodating. Felt like we were guests in someone's home. The food was incredible and the atmosphere was warm and friendly.
The food and service was great, and I have already recommended it. VERY friendly and almost family-like atmosphere with the staff. I loved the hostess! She looked very put together which impressed me a great deal. I can't wait to go back the next time I'm in Toronto. My only issue was that the music was too loud.
I would only recommend to eat at this restaurant when patio is open.
The smoke from the open kitchen fills the restaurant making dining a very unpleasant experience not to mention hair and clothes reeking of cooking smells! Too bad because the food was very good.
Better ventilation is needed!
Yes, already did on Trip Advisor. This was an excellent choice.
Place was Smokey from kitchen and clothes smelled after of grease
Food has great flavour, nice variety of dishes. Great selection of drinks.
Always a great experience - Sotto Voce never disappoints! Food is great, service is excellent and ambiance is really good. Don't think I've ever had a bad experience here!
Fantastic experience, food was amazing and the people were friendly.
Great wine list, delicious food and a good variety at a very reasonable price point.
Excellent food, excellent service, good value and the music was great too.
Only complaint was its a bit small and we were sat by the door so people were always standing over our table, but the food and ambience more than made up for it. Will definitely be back!
Amazing service and food! Definitely recommend
I recommended to a friend that we go to Sotto Voce as I had been a couple months ago after many years of not going and the food and service were both great. However, this past visit was NOT the same. After reserving a table, we were given the table directly inside the door & wind curtain, which the owner . manager assured us we would be grateful for as it was so hot inside......this was NOT at all true. We were freezing and were ready to leave if we had not been offered another table after asking a couple times. When the owner / manager saw that our server had accommodated us with a new table, she was not pleased and that was obvious. Our server did her best but it seemed very obvious that it is a stressful place to work on a busy night. Our food was 100% average which made the evening that much more disappointing.
We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Sotto Voce; The staff and owner were so helpful in assisting us to choose our meal; they were extremely attentive and friendly. Our appetizers were very interesting , consisting of a wonderful variety of flavors. My husband loved the grilled octopus salad and my "Pesce" (Italian sea bass) was light, delicate and grilled to perfection. The dishes are very well priced and are prepared with care and imagination. The desserts, while not made on site are some of the most delicious tortes and cakes we have tasted. We will be back !
Thank you so much, we loved meeting you both and look forward to seeing you both again soon! Anita
As soon as we got inside we were greeted, sat and had our coats put away. Here was always someone checking in on us and our food came fairly quickly. The two dishes we ordered and our app was so tasty! We loved it so much I wish there was more in our bowls! This cozy, dimly lit place gave off a sexy vibe that could only make you smile. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much! We loved having you, hope to see you soon next date night!

Your Guide to Testing Progressive Web Apps
"Always be testing on real world hardware"
~ Owen Campbell-Moore, @owencm -- From the article: Designing Great UIs for Progressive Web Apps
In our recent webinar, we took a look at some of the issues related to testing progressive web apps. We offered a full testing strategy consisting of 6 pillars.
In addition, we specifically highlighted the various options and differences for testing web apps as they relate to iOS and Android. The PWA framework for iOS and Android are implemented and "installed" differently on each platform, making their test automation activities different.
For Android, an APK file is installed on the device; on iOS, a light version of the Safari web browser-based app is installed. Due to unique app characteristics on each platform, a standard Appium approach — as well as other common test frameworks — fails to identify their app objects, to launch them, and to handle other typical mobile scenarios.
In the webinar, Perfecto offered 2 methods for testing these apps on the mobile OS:
- Visual-based testing across iOS and Android
- Unique mobile native commands that support the PWA framework (see below screenshots)
A survey that was conducted during the webinar; it seems clear that curiosity in the market is ramping up and people are starting to explore the emerging PWA technology. Given that PWAs are on the rise, having the know-how and tools to develop, debug and test these apps is obviously a key to success.
Progressive web apps are about to revolutionize the digital landscape. Many organizations are either shifting their current responsive web apps to a PWA framework or considering making the change in the near future. While it's clear that there are many advantages to using a PWA framework, the technology is still maturing; it is important to familiarize yourself with their capabilities, their inherent cross-platform differences, and with the supported technologies that can help your organization make the shift to PWA.

Waterfront Festival, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA
The Plymouth Waterfront Festival was held on a beautiful summer day. The event featured more than 250 vendors of things, services, and food.
It is always nice when Water Street is closed to traffic and pedestrians have free reign over the space.
Italian ice was popular in the heat. In the background is the portico that shelters the Plymouth Rock.
I'm not sure why an inflatable slide with a deadly looking alligator/crocodile motif is appealing to the kids but, they were paying to slide down.
I am standing atop Cole's Hill for this photo. Plymouth Rock at far left, the harbor in the distance, and Plymouth Rock State Park in the mid-distance. Cole's Hill was the original burial site for the Pilgrims during the first winter 1620-21.
Hundreds of yellow rubber duckies float down the town brook to determine a raffle winner.
Scooping out the duckies.
View of the harbor from the Plymouth Yacht Club.
Here is one of the dozens of five foot tall lobsters placed around town as part of an art installation, "Lobster Crawl." Each sculpture is designed and painted by local artists and then sponsored by local businesses. This one was located at Town Hall.

One does not need to spend much to enjoy the paradise that is El Nido, Palawan. Thanks to the affordable tour packages offered by budget travel agencies like Viaje Amores, for only Php 6,800/pax, the dream of being in the last frontier of Palawan can now be realized.
We scheduled our El Nido weekend getaway last January 13-16, 2017. We were picked up by the van from our house in Cavite at 3am and flew via Air Asia at 740m. The flight from Manila to Puerto Princesa took around an hour. From Puerto Princesa Airport, we were transported by another shuttle (Eulen Jen Transport) together with other tourists to our hotel. We traversed the long and winding road leading to El Nido for approximately 5 hours with one stopover. We left the airport at 10am and reached the hotel at around 3pm.
We were checked in at El Nido Four Seasons Beach Resort. Four Seasons offered decent accommodation with free breakfast. We stayed in a family room with balcony and a breathtaking view of the sea. To ensure comfortable stay, the room had an aircondition unit, cable TV, hot shower, refrigerator, and free WiFi. Overlooking our room was the swimming pool.
|El Nido Four Seasons Beach Resort

|Dip into the swimming pool!
The town was 10-15 minutes away from the hotel via tricycle (the fare was Php 30/head). We explored the town on our first night and what I noticed that there were not much eating places in El Nido, or at least the more interesting ones. Foods were quite pricey as well. Save for the food, the experience in El Nido was truly something to cherish because of the island and beaching hopping tours. Included in the package that we selected were two tours: TOUR A and TOUR C, with free lunch!
TOUR A – January 14, 2017
Our first tour was a tour of the lagoons. None from the hotel guests were going on a tour that day, thus, the entire motor boat was ours. Yes, as if we rented it privately for ourselves!
We first went to the Small Lagoon, which was my favorite among all the lagoons, because we needed to paddle a kayak to go inside the said lagoon. We rented two kayaks for Php 300/each. I was in awe as the beauty of nature unfolded right before my eyes, especially the emerald waters amidst the backdrop of marvelous rock formations.
|Kayaking in Small Lagoon
|Nanay enjoys the kayak
|Enterprising Pinoy!
We then went to the Secret Lagoon, where we had to pass through a small opening leading to the lagoon. We returned to the beach and swam, while waiting for the lunch to be cooked. My niece, Alpha, loved playing with the sand and soaking in the waters.
|Entrance to the Secret Lagoon
|At the Secret Lagoon
One thing I loved about the tour was the (free!) luscious lunch – rice, grilled lapu-lapu, grilled pork and chicken, salad, and mixed tropical fruits (papaya, banana, watermelon).
|Tour A Lunch
Another lagoon that I enjoyed because of its Instagram-worthy view was the Big Lagoon. If I'm not mistaken, that was what we saw in the Bourne Movie.
|The Big Lagoon
Tour A was priced at Php 1,200/pax. For us, it's included in our package.
TOUR C – January 15, 2017
The second tour was a tour of the beaches! I told my family to bring with them white clothing so we could have our photoshoot. You don't always go to El Nido, so might as well take advantage of the wonderful sceneries, and have your photos taken there!
|My family in white (as if we're attending a beach wedding!)
|Take advantage of the view!
We went on the tour with guests from other hotel.
Among the places that we visited were the Helicopter Island, Hidden Beach, Secret Beach, and Matinloc Shrine. Being in these beaches, one would realize that Boracay doesn't have the monopoly over white, powdery sand!
|At the Hidden Beach
|At the Hidden Beach, too!
|Tour C Lunch
Perhaps the beach that I would not forget was the Secret Beach because it was quite a challenge going there. Similar to the Secret Lagoon, we needed to pass through a small opening. What made this challenging was the long, arduous swim that one needed to do before reaching the said passageway! And you would swim against the waves! As the tour guide warned us, weak swimmers should be extra wary.
|Going to the Secret Beach was challenging!
|Matinloc Shrine
Tour C was priced at Php 1,400/pax, which also included sumptuous lunch. What's not included in the tour package that we paid Via Amores was the Eco Tourism Fee of Php 200/pax (for adults; for kids, the fee was Php 100).
We had a great time in El Nido. I am grateful to Viaje Amores for organizing this trip for us by finding the cheapest flight on the dates that we specified, for checking us in an affordable yet decent resort, for safeguarding hassle-free airport transfers, and for ensuring enjoyable tours. If we organized this ourselves, taking in consideration the cost of airfare, airport transfers, hotel accommodation (for 4 days and 3 nights), and the tour, we would spend around Php 13,000/pax. With the budget travel package, we saved around Php 6,200/pax!
It's only the start of the year! There are more adventures to go! Gala Pa More!

Imara International
Everyone loves a party, and I feel that Imara has much to celebrate on our 5th birthday. God has been so good!
It is hard to believe that we opened the doors of the Imara home five years ago. We plan to make 2017 a year of celebration. Celebrating girls who are excelling in school, children who are healthy and love to laugh, a staff that is growing, amazing volunteers and supporters, and a God who is faithful and has carried us through! Wow!
We kicked off our birthday celebration on Imara Sunday (May 21, 2017) at Messiah Church in Plymouth, MN. It was a wonderful morning of celebrating all that has happened in the last five years, as well as looking forward to all God has for us in the future.
Statistics say the first five years are pivotal for a non-profit and many never make it. Thanks to all of you, we have more things than we can count to celebrate. I can't even imagine what five more years might bring.
On Imara Sunday, there were balloons, party hats and of course cake, lots of cake, even an opportunity to frost your own cupcake.
It was such a joy watching the kids get in on the action. I think kids are birthday party specialists. They frosted and frosted cupcakes. I saw some pretty amazing works of art that were quickly gobbled up (sorry for the sugar high, mom and dad). And there were balloons, lots of balloons. Our idea was to give a balloon to each child/person who wanted one. We forgot that large amounts of balloons tied together get a tangled. Oops! You should have seen the looks on the kids' faces as we tried to give them a balloon and then had to resort to handing them several. "You mean I get to have all of them?" It was worth it just to see the looks on their faces!

Oprah launches her own reality. She is absolutely unstoppable. Having had several particles patented in the names of Winfrinos and Oprons, she is "looking forward to making a difference in people's lives on a deep, molecular level." Check out the full story in the Onion's exclusive story.

As Jared Kushner walked into his most consequential meeting yet, in his Middle East peace mission, the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas said: "We know that things are difficult and complicated, but nothing is impossible in the face of good efforts."
Sounds nice. But a conga line of diplomatic grandees have tried this for decades before Kushner came onto the scene. All failed, and the gulf between the Israelis and Palestinians only widened through the Obama years. American efforts were poisoned, among other factors, by unmanageable levels of toxicity between Obama and Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu.

I'm a dad and I just caught my 17 year old twin boys jacking off in the room they share. They're embarrassed. What should i do or say?
Respond to Luis54:
By posting you agree that you have read the Community Rules & Guidelines
7 answers and 6 replies
Nothing. They're boys. That's what boys do. As long as they weren't jacking each other off, let it be.
@TruthBTold: I just meant in the fact that there's a weird tension between us. I'm ok with it, I mean as a single dad I do it all the time I just want them to know I'm ok with it
@Luis54: Make a joke about it and move on.
I have a 16yr old. My wife recently ran across some "used" towels and lotion under his bed when changing his sheets. I had to have a talk with him about being more discreet with the towels - mix'em in the laundry boy! I told him he just took some years off his mom's life... then moved on, nothing to see here!
Also had the talk with the wife about how he is old enough to take care of changing his sheets
@SDNRR: I guess I do have to talk to them. I mean were pretty comfortable being nude around each other and I knew they masterbated. I just need to tell them to maybe put a socker on the door. Haha . I guess I just have to get used to it. We're all guys and my son's will be guys.maybe letting them know I do it too will make the awkwardness go away.
I taught my son to do his own laundry about 14 so I wouldn't have to deal with that part.
@fallen_angel: Yes! Teach them soon! My husband is 23 and his mom is stilling willing to do his laundry and he lets her do it. Not good and im having a hard time "training" him to do his housechores but i have to!
Pretend you didn't see anything and keep on marching. Males jack off. Young males jack off very often. Learn to knock.
Is it normal for siblings to masterbate in front of each other? THAT is what I would feel uncomfortable about.
I'm a single mom, every now and then I accidentally catch my 16 y/o son with his hand down his pants - he can't seem to do anything without touching himself. LOL. I just ignore or say, "Dude, keep it private, o.k.?" and then move on to other topics.
Leave lube, tissues, hygienic wipes and a bin in their room. It would be a good time to talk to them about sexual relationships, responsibility, protection etc. Let them know that masturbation is the safest form of sex and that you are OK with it. This may also be a time that they want to start sleeping naked, let them know that you are cool with it but establish some house rules.
Both at the same time and naked? Teach them about privacy first.

I don't know about you, but May always seems busier than the month of December. All of the "year end" activities for kids, final exams, graduations just seem to pile it on. And some years Mother's Day gets a little lost in the shuffle. If that's the case for you, I'm here to share five simple ways to make Mother's Day memorable, whether it's celebrating you or your own mom.
A handwritten note shows you care.
A couple of years ago, I realized I didn't have a Mother's Day card for my mom or my mother-in-law. Instead of dashing out to yet another store to browse their card selection, I decided to write a simple heartfelt note to each of them, expressing my love and gratitude for all they do and all they are to me.
They have both told me since that those notes are among their most treasured. That simple act of taking the time and hand writing a note showed thought and caring that a store-bought card could never match.
Make the phone call.
In a similar vein, carve out a few moments to call the special moms in your life. It doesn't have to be a long conversation, but studies show that speaking to a loved one instantly boosts spirits.
In this day and age of texting and emailing, interpersonal contact is scarce. Again, it's really just a matter of taking a few minutes and being intentional about communicating your appreciation for that special person. Not so hard, right?
Set a pretty table.
If you're celebrating with loads of family or just your kids, a beautiful table will make even the simplest lunch or supper feel special.
And beautiful does not have to mean complicated! Some greenery from your yard and grocery store flowers for a centerpiece, colorful fruit accents, and simple place settings will do just fine. Let the kids help! Imperfection by little hands is beautiful by itself.
Indulge in a favorite food.
Now that you've set a pretty table (or had someone do that for you!), it's time to enjoy something tasty. It might be a full blown brunch of deliciousness or a simple sweet treat…
Raspberry Sweet Rolls via Homemaking Tips
A few years ago my stepson offered to prepare anything I wanted for Mother's Day. I chose shrimp and grits and he whipped up a batch that I still remember fondly. It could even be a frozen pizza, but if it's something you enjoy, go for it!
Make a little time for an activity that recharges.
As moms, our days are all about those we're taking care of. On Mother's Day, carve out a sliver of time to recharge your batteries or help your mom recharge hers.
I have a friend who spends every Mother's Day planting her summer annuals in her yard — that's an activity she enjoys that rejuvenates her. Maybe it's a half hour to read a good book, taking a walk in your neighborhood, or squeezing in a cat nap. Taking those moments to do something enjoyable pays big dividends!
So whether you're celebrating your own mom or your family is celebrating you (or both!) keeping it simple but enjoyable will make this Mother's Day one to remember. Wishing you a blessed Mother's Day weekend!

Seven Seas has announced three new manga series that are set to release starting next calendar year, each with ties to war in one way or another.
Strike Witches: Maidens in the Sky is a series about young magical girls who are given striker units, which allow them to fly and combat an alien force known as the Neuroi. Set in an alternate version of the early 20th century, each of the girls is a spin on a famous pilot, and each striker unit is based on a well-known combat plane. Be aware, the series is known for having numerous panty-shots, though; as Funimation (who licensed the anime series) boasts, the girls are "winning the war on pants". Seven Seas will begin publishing the two-part series starting in February 2014. There are other spinoff manga related to the series which Seven Seas will release later in 2014, but have not announced which of the other five Strike Witches manga series have been licensed.
Back on the ground, Seven Seas will be showing off the skills of the Ooarai High School Tank Brigade in Girls und Panzer. In the series, teams of high school girls compete in sensha-dou ("The Way of the Tank"), where brigades face off in combat to show off their strategic military prowess. Seven Seas will release the two-parter starting June 2014 with the prequel series Girls und Panzer: Little Army to follow at the end of the year. The anime adaptation, licensed by Sentai Filmworks and available now on Crunchyroll, will be available on Blu-ray this fall.
Finally, taking the battle to the Seven Seas, they will also be releasing Arpeggio of Blue Steel, a near-future manga series about naval warfare. In Arpeggio, rising water levels and melting ice caps have caused much of Earth's land mass to be lost to the oceans, and a powerful fleet of sentient battleships known as the "Fleet of Fog" have appeared. After defeating the Earth's naval forces, they have created a blockade, preventing anyone from traveling and threatening survival. Arpeggio is the story of Earth's last ditch effort to defeat the alien fleet, a young girl capable of transforming into a submarine. Seven Seas will release the manga series beginning in July 2014, and an anime series is currently in production and scheduled to begin this fall.

The Sound of Me Pulling Out My Hair One at a Time Because
People Partisan Hacks Live Down to My Expectations
As requested by my loyal(?), patient readers, a critique/list in no order whatsoever. (For the handful of readers who have visited since this post was up, there's an update on #7):
1. From his writings, it seems to me that SBA is an intelligent man and therefore it pains me to see him involved in what is essentially the politics of whose-picture-is-on-the-wall, which I thought would be beneath him. What's worse, he's simply indulging in politics by crying out "history": a false position. If he seriously thinks that "history" is dictated from the top by governments, debates about history are settled by picture-hanging or that hanging a picture is NOT about today's politics but rather about consensus on past history, he is seriously mistaken. Since I don't believe him to be a fool, I must believe him to be a partisan.
2. Let me first state that I agree with him wholeheartedly: there is no equal to Mujib in Bangladesh's history. The man is unique. I don't think I need to prove my genuine respect for Mujib after writing generally favourably about him on this blog for the past few months. But let me say this: as long as Mujib remains the most potent AL symbol rather than the most important historical figure AND as long as AL remains a viable party within the system, there is no separating him from current politics. We blame Khaleda Zia for desecrating his memory (someone from BNP should seriously have rebuked her for her birthday shenanigans), but we should also blame the AL (if not in equal measure) for trying to capitalise on it instead of leaving him for the historians.
3. Having said all that, let me begin dissecting. I am all for accurate history, but my historical understanding is more in terms of systemic movements rather than important individuals. Making over-reaching statements about Mujib's greatness does not exactly serve the goal of accuracy. Case in point:
When you think back on the long, concerted story of the growth of Bengali nationalism, you realise only too well that Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was the man behind it all.
To argue again and again that Mujib is the single most important individual in the growth and sustenance of the Bengali nationalist movement would be to state, repeatedly, the obvious. To suggest, however, that there are other men who must be permitted to share that glory with him runs counter to political morality.
Now what if I were to say that he rode the wave of that nationalism rather than instigate it and that is why we call him (rightly) Bongobondhu? If you were to tell me that a single man was behind the "growth and sustenance" of what was essentially a new mass consciousness for the Bangalis east of Benapole, I'd have to say that he must have been a mind-controlling wizard of some sort. Since he was clearly human and not a wizard, I'll have to say that he was simply a great leader when the time came, but giving him credit for the GROWTH of "Bengali nationalism" is too much.
4. "Bengali nationalism" - I had no idea that the "Bengalis" of West Bengal were also part of this new-found consciousess. Did Mujib want them to achieve independence/autonomy from Delhi too? As soon as you hear him say this, you know he's a partisan hack. And if you look through the archives (too lazy to link right now), you will find me using him as an example of why Bengali nationalism is simply a partisan term with no real-world meaning for anyone except hallucinating dinosaurs like him. (I also advocate that we save "Bangladeshi nationalism" from the partisan/chauvinistic/bigoted hands of the BNP).
5. He uses different measuring sticks to measure Suhrawardy and Bhashani. Suhrawary was not pro-Bangali and his loyalties were more to what SBA calls "Pakistan", but what I'd call the Punjabi-Urdu-speakers' alliance. Bhashani on the other hand, he concludes, was too pro-Bangali-autonomy:
A good deal has been made of Bhashani's role in the making of Bangladesh. There certainly were fireworks in his personality. When he told us, three days before the general elections of December 1970, that East Pakistan should declare itself an independent country, quite a few people felt exuberance re-igniting their spirits.
But sit back and reflect on whether or not Bhashani's precipitate move was a dangerous form of adventurism.
Basically, damn you if you do, damn you if you don't. The only way not to be damned is if you've declared your goal for autonomy on the 7th (or 25th night in written form: take your pick, I'm least interested). Surprise surprise, guess who's done that? Now I can say that Sheikh Shaheb made a mistake not announcing it sooner before the Pakistani military build-up. If he had, maybe we could have had less loss of life. But he did what he did, and I have no criticisms based on what didn't happen rather than what did. Unlike SBA who criticises Bhashani because he may have precipitated a crisis but didn't! Real historians deal with what happened, rather than judge people on counterfactuals.
6. Nothing is more ridiculous, more deceptive than his ramblings about Sher-e-Bangla A.K. Fazlul Huq:
Huq moved the Pakistan Resolution in 1940; and when he took charge as chief minister of East Bengal in 1954, at the head of a Jugto Front administration, he did so not as a Bengali nationalist but as part of a team engaged in the noble, necessary job of sending the communal Muslim League dispensation packing.
Huq later became Pakistan's interior minister, before taking charge as governor of East Pakistan. Nothing in his entire career suggests that he dreamed of a sovereign Bangladesh supplanting East Pakistan someday. Must it be our job to give him a place he did not work for, and would surely not have wanted? To convince ourselves that Huq was a forerunner of Bengali political freedom would be launching a grave assault on his political beliefs.
If guilt by association is a problem, then let it be remembered that Sheikh Shaheb was a Muslim Leaguer too at one point (check out Wiki or simply ask the next hardcore AL-er you meet). That does not "implicate" him, but shows that he had his hand on the people's pulse as he did almost to the end of his life. If it doesn't implicate him, it doesn't implicate Fazlul Huq. Moreover, the Lahore Resolution he moved called for two autonomous states on two sides of the subcontinent, not the state of Pakistan as it was born in 1947. For that little piece of deception - in which he tries to prove the greatness of Mujib by misleading his audience about the nature of the Resolution - SBA has pretty much earned my eternal disdain. Surely Mujib deserves more honest defenders than this!
And yeah, Sheikh Shaheb too once served as a minister in an East Pakistan government. Oh the horrors!
7. Take this particular gem about Bhashani:
Reflect, too, on the political position he began to adopt soon after liberation, when the leftist in him suddenly began to spot the beauty of rightwing politics.
His advocacy of a Muslim Bangla was a clear assault on the secular statehood of Bangladesh. His criticism of the Mujib government followed by his acceptance of Baksal, followed by his obvious relief at the assassination of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman are quirky as well as disturbing episodes in Bangladesh's history.
Ummm... was BAKSAL not a u-turn for Mujib? Rather than hold the creation of BAKSAL against Mujib, he holds Bhashani culpable for supporting it! SBA's categories of left and right are laughably based on the binary of religion/secularism (which I don't think he understands at all), rather than on the binaries of inclusive/exclusive or on private property/state-control. I'm yet to be convinced that the religion binary is the most important. Fact: no one on the political spectrum trumpeted about "democracy" at that point, simply misguided notions of "left-right-Islamic". *Shakes head at the Decade of Dinosaurs*
Update: Take a look at the circular logic he uses: it was Mujib/Tajuddin/AL's vision of a secular Bangladesh that Bhashani contested. In SBA's argument, this opposition to Mujib makes Bhashani less than Mujib. So we when we ask, "Why is Sheikh Shaheb the greatest?" SBA's answer is, "Because the ones who opposed him were not as great as he is". "How do we know that the others are lesser?" SBA's answer is, "Because they opposed him". "How does that make them lesser than he was?", SBA's implication, "Well, you have to be to oppose the greatest. After all, Sheikh Shaheb never opposed himself."
Wonderful logic. Stephen Colbert's gut rests easy with SBA's balmy words. Remember, you've got more nerve endings in your gut than anywhere else!
8. I'm not even going to say anything about his complete lack of review of Zia's legacy (arguably more pervasive to post-Independence Bangladesh than Bhashani's or Huq's). It speaks volumes about the audience he is writing for, one that sees Bhashani/Huq as having more of an impact (positive/negative) than Zia. For all his flaws, Zia remains the Deng Xiaopeng to Mujib's Mao in our (Generation 71) consciousness *. Good luck fighting that battle Mr. Ahsan! And no I don't think that Zia's picture should be put up in any government building either, simply because it's another political symbol rather than a historical tribute.
9. The only place I agree with him comes too late and offers too little:
If you have no place for Tajuddin Ahmad, Syed Nazrul Islam, M. Mansur Ali and A.H.M. Quamruzzaman in your assessment of national history, everything else you do is rendered meaningless
The enormous gaps in his narrative are ok, but the enormous gaps in others' narratives are not. Even when I agree with him, I can't stand it.
Lastly, let me just say this. His is as biased a view of history as those of the new party or Qureshi. What's worse is that his is biased in favour of an existing political party. If there's one thing about him that does not indicate that he has been stuck in Awami League circles for too long, let me know. If he's a bit more honest and admits that he is simply pushing that version of history that aligns with a certain power centre, then I'll have a bit more respect for him. However, I find it hard to respect anyone whose views of history (an academic matter) is shaped by power. It's a hard struggle for many people to separate history from power. SBA isn't even trying.

The Sunday Times : Is Kigali to become Kandt's Capital? (Rose-Marie Mukarutabana)
Hello, Netters! Long time no see!!!Ubu ndi mu rwa Gasabo, niho nterera gatigisimu. Iyi article yasohotse mu kinyamakuru chya Kigali: "The Sunday Times".Mushirike ubute musome, kandi namwe mwandikire iki kinyamakuru, cg se ikindi mushaka.
""Is Kigali to become Kandt's Capital?""by Rose-Marie Mukarutabana
Rwanda is preparing to celebrate the centenary of the City of Kigali. This welcome initiative should provide a good opportunity to recall the history of the foundation of Kigali as the capital of Rwanda, by King Chyiirima I Rugwe whose reign began in 1345 according to Alexis Kagame, or in1506 according to J. Vansina. Kigali has therefore been the capital city, umurwa mukuru, for at least 500 years , and not the 100 years that the documentation from the Kigali City Council has assigned to it. This documentation is based, not on the actual creation of the capital Kigali by the King Chyiirima I Rugwe, but on the date on which the first German imperial resident, Dr. Richard Kandt, began to live in Kigali. In a publicity brochure, we read:
"In 1907, Germany through Dr. Richard Kandt, the first European resident of Rwanda, set up an administrative residence in Kigali. From this grew 20 commercial houses on the lace of hills around present day Nyarugenge until 1921 when Kigali became a Belgian colonial administrative centre". (…) 2007 is a very special year for us. We are celebrating 100 years since Dr. Richard Kandt set up an administrative residence on behalf of the German Colonial Office in Kigali." (Mayor's Message in the brochure "Celebrating the 100 years, 1907-2007")
We understand from this statement that the hundred years of Kigali are counted from the time Dr. Richard Kandt began to live in Kigali as a representative of the "Deutsch Ostafrika" in Rwanda." In fact, given that the actual celebrations are scheduled to commence in October, one may infer from this that we are preparing to celebrate the moment Kandt began to live in his first Kigali house (which apparently no longer exists, the one now known as Kandt's house being actually his second house), and not the date on which Kigali was formally declared the capital of that part the German Empire in East Africa. Kandt established himself as Imperial Resident in November 1907, and exercised those functions until May 1914 (Minnaert 2006) . A. Kagame (quoting De Lacger) informs us that Kigali became the capital of this part of "Deutsch Ostafrika", not in 1907, but in 1908. Later, Kigali became a Belgian colonial administrative centre in 1917—again, according to A. Kagame (and not in1921 as stated in the brochure).
But we are not here concerned with the exactness or otherwise of the dates for these colonial landmarks. Our concern is that Kigali City Council is ignoring our own traditional landmarks. We are worried that Kigali City Council appears to have overlooked the widely-known fact that Kigali has been the main capital of Rwanda—umurwa mukuru w'Urwanda—many generations before it had the misfortune of falling into the hands of foreigners.
Perhaps the Kigali City Council was misled by the fact that Nyanza, and not Kigali, was, for reasons too involved to explain here, the last residence of Yuhi Musinga and Mutara Rudahigwa. But we should remember that, while, from the beginning of the Third Dynasty, Kigali was always the principal capital—la capitale-coeur Kagame always said—individual kings could establish what may be called a "personal capital" elsewhere, but always made sure to reside in Kigali for the periods stated by traditional law. Kigali has thus never ceased to be the capital of the Kings of Rwanda.
We should also note that while Mt Kigali was the site of the royal residence, the capital proper spread out over the surrounding valleys and hills. Courtiers and civil servants, priests and diviners and healers, artists and artisans, as well as farmers and herders lived there, surrounded by temples, sacred groves, holy springs, wells, pools, ritual river crossings, etc.It is true that colonial powers reshaped the old umurwa, erecting on its ancient hills their colonial residences, commercial houses and other Western-style amenities and infrastructures. These, and other forms of modernization, were of course, most welcome. But the truth of the matter is that the colonial enterprises were intended to benefit the colonizers, in cash and kind, and in international power, renown and glory, and that whatever advantages accrued to the colonies were not meant as such, but as a way to increase the means of exploiting them.
If we want a cause to celebrate, why not commemorate the day of the decolonization of Kigali? Do Rwandans really think that they should celebrate the first colonial residence established in our centuries-old umurwa. Alexis Kagame uses, and he has often mentioned Kigali as the capital Rwanda's "capital-cœur" , the heart of the kingdom, half a dozen times in his "Abrégé d'Ethno-Histoire du Rwanda" (1972, pages 49, 99, 104, 121, 202, 246, 276.)
According to rwandologists M. d'Hertefelt & A. Coupez , Kigali was a veritable Temple Mount. Many kings, they write, built their cities on Mt Kigari, and various rituals were scheduled to be performed there. Also, many of the surrounding areas were sacred:
1. There used to be a temple in Nyakabanda valley (between Mt Kigali and Nyarugenge hill) dedicated to King Kigeri I Mukobanya, the heroic son of Chyiirima Rugwe, who was born in Nyakabanda valley. A shrine was erected there, to commemorate the birth of this prince, who grew to be the general of his father's army, reunifying its severed parts around the capital, Kigali. The Nyakabanda shrine was dedicated to this great conqueror.
2. The sacred well Rweezangoro, at the foothill of Nyarugenge, in the Muhima sacred grove. The name of this well means translates as "Temple Purifier", for its waters were used to purify and consecrate palaces and temples. In Rwanda tradition the palace is also a temple, for the king's first and principal role is to be a priest and intermediary between earth and heaven.
3. The Nyaruteeja crossing (on river Nyabarongo), at the foot of Mt Kigali, which served as a ritual passage way between the capital, Kigali, and the region of Nduga, thus symbolising the passage from the centre to the periphery and back again.
Thus Kigali was not just an administrative and sociopolitical capital, but a vast network of energy collection and distribution points. Hence that symbolic phrase often used by our poets Abasizi, who say that the King's role was to "milk the sky", meaning that, through meditation and ritual, he was able to draw down spiritual energy as one draws milk from a cow. The inkongoro or "milk jug" used to draw this heavenly milk was the king's and priests' own hearts, while Mt Kigali acted as storage facility (igicuba).
The energy storage function of Kigali is suggested by the prayers said on this mountain at certain stated times—"Gahoran Imaana, Kigari ! God be always in you, Kigali!"—
Gahoran Imaana, Kigari! Tuuje kweend imitima… Ng'Umwaami w'Urwand agir umutima. Ngw abagabo mu Rwanda bagir umutima. Ngw abagore mu Rwanda bagir umutima. Ngw inka mu Rwanda zigir umutima. Ngw Urwanda rwoose rugir umutima". (Translation)God be with you always, Kigari!We have come to obtain the hearts, That the King of Rwanda may have [an increase of] heart That the men of Rwanda may have [an increase of] heart That the women of Rwanda may have [an increase of] heart That the cattle of Rwanda may have [an increase of] heart.
If we wish to celebrate the foundation of Kigali, we should celebrate its true foundation, by Chyiirima Rugwe, in the middle of the 14th century AD. We should first build a monument on the site of the old palace of Chyiirima Rugwe, on Mount Kigali itself, on and around which site his successors built their own palaces and temples and shrines.
The landmarks are still there, visible to all, just as those which mark the sites of the other ancient cities, shrines and temples, burial grounds, etc. Any local inhabitant of Gasaabo, including the children, will indicate three or four of the half a dozen landmarks on this other sacred mountain. Go to the royal necropolis of Rutare, and any passerby will show you the old trees that marked the chapels and cemetery of the ancient kings. Any inhabitant of Buhanga bwa Nyakinaama will tell you that this place was the site of the city of Gihanga. And if you ask around, you will even locate a grandson of the old priest Komayombi, who, in the 1930s and 40s, was still discharging the duties of his office as chief ritualist for the shrine of Our Father Gihanga.
Also extant, and highly visible, and very widely known indeed, are the famous Rocks Marks made by the Feet of Ruganzu Mutabaazi Ndoori, the most famous and grandest of our heroic Kings. Go to any site where those marks are to be found, and ask to see "Ibirenge bya Ruganzu" and the locals will immediately add — "N'amajanja y'Intoozo Ze", and the marks of the paws of His Hounds.
What would really create genuine enthusiasm in the hearts and minds of our people would be a celebration of all these landmarks, which have such a powerful resonance in the collective memory of Rwandans. And if there is any doubt that these narratives and accompanying landmarks still have the power to excite the imagination of our people, let them conduct a survey to that effect. Let them ask the people of this country this question:
Would you rather celebrate October (or November) 2007 as the 100th anniversary of the arrival in Kigali, of Dr. Kandt, the first of our colonial masters, or would you prefer celebrating "A 1000 years of Rwanda's History"?
If you had a choice between honoring the site of Kandt's fist house in Kigali, and honoring the Landmarks of Chyiirima's Palace on Mount Kigali, which would you choose?
Would you like the government to create a "National Ancient Landmarks Day", to honor and promote the above-described sites?
It would be most surprising indeed if the people of Rwanda preferred Kandt to Chyiirima, agreed to the age of their capital being reduced to a mere century, and chose to celebrate other people's monuments instead of their own, under the false pretext that ours are not in stone, but in words.
"Words, the sages say, are more durable than stones." Our history is enshrined in our narratives, in the words of our tradition. Through our narratives, we have managed to preserve our history better than many of those countries that had written texts and engravings and stone monuments. For stones and bricks and other material structures can be destroyed, but words will last for as long as there are brains and memories to house them, provided, of course, that no drastic disruptions occur to interrupt or impair the transmission and preservation systems. Rwanda seems to have been luckier than most in managing to preserve its narratives, enrich them and preserve their transmission lines.
The celebration of the anniversary foundation of Kigali by that King of Wise Majesty, Chyiirima Rugwe, should offer ample opportunity to study our culture and history, but also to promote their preservation and enrichment. This history should also highlight the contribution of later centuries, especially its transformation into a modern-style city. Here, we should recall that Dr Richard Kant, a German explorer and later colonial administrator, built the first Western type house in Kigali. We should also recall that this gentleman was the first to localize the source of the Nile in the Nyungwe forest, and also the first to introduce coffee farming . Formal recognition may be awarded him for these achievements.
But recognition for founding the Rwanda capital, Kigali, should be given to King Chyiirima Rugwe and his successors." "

The Hornets have had a £7million bid accepted for the England left-back, who is yet to feature so far this season.
But the Baggies have come back to the table after having an offer knocked back by the Gunners earlier this summer.
Gibbs is third choice at Arsenal behind new left-back Sead Kolasinac and Nacho Monreal and has less than 12 months remaining on his deal.
The 27-year-old came through the ranks at the Emirates, making more than 200 appearances for the north Londoners.
However, he has been deemed surplus to requirements by Arsene Wenger and is expected to move on before Thursday's deadline.

Nova (Sam Alexander) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character, a space-faring member of the intergalactic police force known as the Nova Corps, was created in 2011 by writer Jeph Loeb and artist Ed McGuinness, based on the original Nova Richard Rider. The Sam Alexander version of the character first appeared in the Marvel Point One one-shot in November 2011 before starring in his own series beginning in February 2013.
Publication history[edit]
Sam Alexander first appeared in Marvel Point One #1 (November 2011), created by writer Jeph Loeb and artist Ed McGuinness. The character was named after Loeb's son, who died after a three-year battle with bone cancer at the age of 17.
Fictional character biography[edit]
Sam Alexander is a sixteen-year-old living in Carefree, Arizona with his father, mother, and little sister. His father is always drunk and often talks about his supposed life as a Nova Centurion, and shirks his duties as janitor at his son's school. Sam's mother is a Latina homemaker. When Sam comes home from school to find his father missing, Sam accidentally injures himself and wakes up in a hospital. There, Rocket Raccoon and Gamora reveal Sam's father really was in the Nova Corps.[1] After putting on his father's helmet, Sam travels to the moon, meeting Uatu the Watcher, who reveals an invasion fleet of alien ships belonging to the Chitauri. Upon returning to Earth, Rocket Raccoon and Gamora train him and tell him to scout the fleet.[2]
Sometime later, Sam is on a mission to warn planets in the path of Dark Phoenix is coming for them.[3] He crashes on Earth, but is able to deliver the warning to the Avengers.[4] After recovering, Nova joins the Avengers and the X-Men against Cyclops, who has become the new Dark Phoenix after Jean. Thor asks Sam to join the Avengers, and Sam eventually accepts.[5][6] Afterwards, he encounters the previous Nova's recurring enemy Diamondhead, but easily defeats him.[7]
During the events of "Infinity", Sam learns from his crush, Carrie, that she knows he is Nova. Shocked, he flies into the sky, but accidentally removes his helmet and lands in a coma. He wakes up to Justice and Speedball, who offer him a spot on the New Warriors.[8] He next faces off against Kaldera, an agent of Proxima Midnight and defeats her in combat.[9] Sam becomes cocky and prideful and begins to feel above the New Warriors and disregard his mother's rules. He gets into an argument with Carrie and gets mad at Justice and Speedball. He eventually speaks to Uatu who gives Sam some advice and he returns to Earth to agree to his mother's rules and joins the New Warriors.[10]
During a day of training with Uatu at the Watcher's moon base at the start of the "Original Sin" storyline, Uatu reveals that Sam's father Jesse Alexander is alive. Sam leaves where he is happy with the information he just learned.[11]
Following the Civil War II storyline, Sam leaves the Avengers to join the Champions. The team heads to Lasibad, Sharzad to rescue a group of women and girls being attacked by terrorists.[12] Sam dies due to wounds received by gunfire.
Powers and abilities[edit]
Sam Alexander wears a helmet that gives him access to the Nova Force, which grants him superhuman strength and durability, flight, energy projection, telekinesis, universal translation and the ability to breathe underwater and survive in space.

In other media[edit]
- The Sam Alexander incarnation of Nova appears in the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series, voiced by Logan Miller.[13][14] This version has no family and is the last of the Nova Corps, due to former member Titus wiping the rest out trying to get another helmet. He was trained by Rocket Raccoon and joined as a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy (Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, and Groot). He left the team for Earth and joined a team of S.H.I.E.L.D. Trainees consisting of Power Man, Iron Fist, White Tiger and Spider-Man. He serves as Spider-Man's friendly rival on the team throughout seasons one and two. In season three, Sam unlocks his full power as Nova Prime during his fight with Titus and the Chitauri that are on his side. For most of season four he is on a mission to protect Madame Web with Nick Fury. In the series finale "Graduation Day" [Pt. 1 and 2], Nova, Iron Fist, Power Man and White Tiger are with Spider-Man for the last time to find Doctor Octopus and protect Aunt May, and fight the Scorpion and Crossbones, and defeat the two. Then at the graduation ceremony, he is trapped with the team in contracting shield in the Triskelion and in the end is released by Spider-Man.
- Nova appears in Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers, voiced by Suganuma Hisayoshi.
- Sam Alexander appears in the Guardians of the Galaxy animated series, with Logan Miller reprising his role.[15] In this show, he learned about the Nova Corps from his father Jesse Alexander who went missing one day. He first appears in the episode "Back in Black" where the Nova Centurian Helmet that is in his possession is being sought out by the Nova Corps. Rocket Raccoon and Groot try to take on the bounty for it where they end up fighting Sam until Star-Lord breaks him up. As Drax the Destroyer trains him in combat, Sam detects a signal that leads him to a secret lab on Spartax where Mantis is and she manipulates him into freeing the Universal Believers' patriarch J'son. In the episode "Knights in Black Helmets", Nova accompanies J'son and Mantis to a Xandarian spaceship inside the stomach of a space whale that stores the Nova Centurian Helmets. During a fight with the Guardians of the Galaxy, J'son does events that manipulate Sam into finding the real Nova Centurian Helmets after the one Mantis tried on turned her to stone that crumbled into dust. During this time, Sam is shown a footage where his father fought Thanos to prevent him from getting Adam Warlock's cocoon. Sam then helps the Guardians of the Galaxy fight J'son who gets away with the Nova Centurian Helmets. In the episode "Nova Me, Nova You", Sam flees back to Earth after the Nova Corps catches up to the Guardians of the Galaxy. While at his school, J'son attacks as Sam works to fight him with the Guardians of the Galaxy's help. When J'son later plans to target Sam's family, he and the Guardians of the Galaxy fight J'son even when the Nova Corps arrive. Before J'son can go supernova a second time, Sam flies him into the atmosphere where he explodes. As Star-Lord is unsure if J'son survived, he and the Guardians of the Galaxy persuade Rhomann Dey to let Sam train on Earth even after mentioning how they found out about Jesse's past. Even his mother agrees with them.

This causes many to believe the replaced heroes (Iron Man, the Thing, and Daredevil) have "gone bad". Nova is later freed by Spider-Man.
The first issue of Nova debuted to positive reviews, including a perfect score at IFanboy.com.[23] Reviewing for Multiversity Comics, Matthew Meylikhov called the series a "rather exciting prospect" and gave the issue a "Buy" rating, but derided its pacing.[24]

November 9th is Marie Dressler's 149th birthday so the Dressler Foundation put on a big celebration for her. The celebration featured a professionally made documentary of how the community came together to build the museum, free Marie Dressler Butter Tarts (and coffee) and then followed this with a screening of one of Marie Dressler's earliest movies, Tillie Wakes Up, made in 1917. (The Butter tarts were designed by Stephanie Harrington at the Dutch Oven).

If you are familiar with the previous museum, you will see that the new one is totally different. The room is larger, the walls have been repainted (a great colour), there are new displays and many of the displays are interactive. The interface to control what you see on displays is via ipads and in some cases you can listen. Although the appearance is open and uncluttered, there is plenty of information to be had. Some artifacts are on display although the photos are not the originals - these are kept in the Northumberland County archives.

As previously announced, the Foundation is working to completely renovate the Marie Dressler Museum. Actually, a better description would be that the museum is being completely rebuilt from scratch. Unfortunately, this means that it will be closed from late May until it reopens. There will be no access to any exhibits during that time.
But on September 24th, 2016, there will be a grand re-opening with celebrations to mark the event. Stay tuned for more news on this.

(1) Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
The New Millenium is nearly upon us.
Many of people today are afraid of what could happen.
· Planes could crash
· Power companies could go down
· The loss of running water
· Entire life savings be lost due to computer error
All kinds of possibilities of bad things could happen
But I'm here to remind us of Jesus' words.
He said, "Let not your heart be troubled."
I'm not worried about the future.
In fact, to me, the future looks pretty bright.
You see, my trust is:
· Not in computers
· Not in man
· Not in this country
But my trust is in the Lord!
Thank God, 4years-2months-20 days-3hours and about a half, I put my trust in the Lord!
You see, no matter what happens
during this whole "Y 2 K" phenomenon,
Jesus is soon coming back.
Let not your heart be troubled!
We just celebrated Jesus birthday last week during Christmas.
Why not let's celebrate his return as Year 2000 approaches?
We just celebrated his First Coming, now let's celebrate his Second Coming!
What could be greater?
Don't get down and upset about this Year 2000 thing.
Just remember, no matter what happens, Jesus is soon coming back.
Let not your heart be troubled…

DIY Project Raspiboy Kit Review
This review today is over the Raspiboy from 8B Craft. This is a crazy cool little device that answers the question "What if I had a Raspberry Pi emulator on the go?". Of course, we've seen some iterations of this already in the world. But this one is a whole …Read More »
