Earlier this week Palm announced the Palm Pre (see our coverage) and now we've had a chance to have some extended one-on-one time with it at CES. Palm's reps were instructed to not allow us to hold the device on our own, but we managed to convince them otherwise. Below are our impressions as well as additional information about the Pre.
Look and feel
First off, the Palm Pre worked just as well in our private demo as it did on stage. It's definitely a very polished device, both hardware and software-wise. There were no noticeable delays or hanging moments, which are usually common in a pre-release device.
One thing that's interesting is that when you're navigating the interface there's a white ball of sorts that shows up on the screen where you are touching. It's there to aid in navigation and also let you know that your touch was registered, but this would be a great use for haptics. The white ball doesn't distract from the experience, though, so I'm sure there are other reasons the UI designers included it.
The feel of the keyboard is similar to that of the Centro. I wasn't a fan of the Centro's keyboard initially but after a while I got used to it. You have to train yourself to not care where your fingers are going and then you magically type out the correct letter. My thumbs did hit the top of the hinge occasionally, but it's also something that will get better with practice. Unfortunately, I did have issues trying to hold the Pre and type one-handed, which is a major drawback in my usage scenario.
The keynote featured a walk-thru of the basic software but we had some additional software questions which were answered today. Here's a quick summary:
Overall, I found more to like than dislike. Also, keep in mind that it's not close to shipping yet so a lot can still be improved before our official review.
I think that the Pre is definitely going to give the iPhone a run for its money. The fact that you don't have to think about collecting and storing all of the information for your contacts and that it seamlessly connects to the 'net and gathers and aggregates your information via its Synergy technology, makes it a definite contender in a very crowded smartphone market.
{ad}The biggest challenge the Pre will have is convincing users that it's OK to not sync their smartphone to a PC or Mac. The Pre does everything in the cloud, but for a user base that's used to syncing an iPhone with iTunes or a Blackberry, Palm, or Windows Mobile device with Outlook, trusting in the cloud might be a pretty huge leap of faith.
We'll see how Palm handles this in its marketing and eventual sale of the Pre.

IBM's Jeopardy Answering Computer Apparently Ready To Compete For Real
from the suck-it,-trebeck deptIn April of 2009, we wrote about how IBM was working on a new computer, called Watson, that would be able to compete on the game show Jeopardy. It was no chess playing computer, but it was still an interesting project. Apparently, it's advanced enough that it's scheduled for its first appearance on the show, this upcoming February (Valentines Day -- so romantic), where it will take on two of the most successful Jeopardy contestants ever. While it might seem simple -- you just have to load up the machine with a ton of trivia -- it's a bit more complicated than that, because the Jeopardy "clues," can be a bit tricky, often using "subtle meanings and riddles." Apparently, those things have still been stumping Watson in testing. The report notes: "Watson had some trouble recognizing double meanings and sometimes confused fiction as fact." In other words, this actually is an attempt to push computer natural language recognition tools forward.

Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) stock is up by an impressive 27% year-to-date, yet there's still considerable negativity surrounding the company, as Netflix stock carries a big short interest ratio of 9.8%. Let's look at a couple of the main bear arguments and why there's a big chance Netflix stock will continue inflicting a lot of damage to the shorts in the years ahead.
Competitive risk
Competition is always a risk, especially when operating in such a dynamic growth industry like online video streaming. Netflix is facing growing competition from multiple fronts, and that's not going to change anytime soon. Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) has built a strong library with more than 40,000 choices in Prime Instant Video, and the company is also venturing into original productions via its Amazon Studios division. Considering Amazon's competitive drive, it's only reasonable to assume that the online retailer will continue investing tons of money in online video in the years ahead.
Hulu is another relevant competitor, and Apple has recently announced that it has signed Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) HBO as its exclusive partner with its new HBO Now service. Apple devices, including Apple TV, will be the exclusive non-pay TV platform for HBO Now over the first three months. The service costs $14.99 monthly and provides access to all HBO content, including original series and third-party movies.
However, even if competitive pressure is on the rise, that doesn't necessarily mean the competition will crush Netflix. Just as traditional TV has provided enough room for multiple players to grow and thrive over time, online video streaming is an emerging industry offering enormous room for expansion.
Speaking during Netflix's third-quarter conference call about the launch of HBO's over-the-top service , CEO Reed Hastings explained:
On the consumer side, it's one more channel. So already consumers subscribed to us and Hulu and Amazon and they do pay-per-view and they do DVD and they do cable. So there's so many great sources of entertainment. And consumers subscribe to many of these.
So there's not much of a change in the direct competitive landscape. We and HBO have completely different content. So I don't think it will be a significant impact at the consumer level.
Content is king, and Netflix is building competitive differentiation via a powerful library of titles, including widely successful original productions such as House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black. As long as Netflix continues delivering valuable content for a competitively low price, increased competition in the industry is no reason to sell Netflix stock.
Another popular argument among Netflix bears is that the company can't successfully face increasing competitive pressure while operating profitably. Content is expensive, and rising competition for high-quality content could erode profitability over time. However, that doesn't mean industry players will commit financial suicide by bidding for content at unreasonable prices.
In fact, Netflix is generating consistently growing profitability in the United States. The company produced a contribution margin of 28% in the U.S. streaming segment during the fourth quarter of 2014, and management expects this margin to expand to 30% of sales in the first quarter of 2015. The company estimates that the contribution margin in the U.S. will continue growing by 2% annually in the coming years, reaching 40% by 2020.
International expansion demands tons of capital, and global contribution margin fluctuates considerably on a quarter-by-quarter basis. However, management has said that markets launched more than a year ago are collectively profitable on a contribution basis, which shows that Netflix is clearly moving in the right direction when it comes to proving its ability to make money in different countries.
The company surprised most analysts during the last quarter by announcing that Netflix is planning to complete in its international expansion over the next two years. From the company's latest letter to shareholders:
Progress has been so strong that we now believe we can complete our global expansion over the next 2 years, while staying profitable, which is earlier than we expected. We then intend to generate material global profits from 2017 onwards.
We already offer Netflix in about 50 countries and have learned a great deal about the content people prefer, the marketing they respond to and how to best organize ourselves for steady improvement. Acceleration to 200 countries is largely made possible by the tremendous growth of the Internet in general, including on phones, tablets and smart TVs. We intend to stick to our core ad-free subscription model. As with our initial round of international expansion, we'll get some things wrong and do our best to fix them quickly.
The online streaming revolution is here to stay. Netflix is a major driving force behind that trend, and also one of the main beneficiaries from it. The company has clearly consolidated its competitive position in the industry, and it's also proving that it can generate expanding profitability both at home and abroad. Betting against such a vibrant business could be hazardous to your wealth.

WASHINGTON -- The officer of the deck for the USS Fitzgerald when it collided with a commercial vessel pleaded guilty Tuesday in a special court-martial proceeding.
Lt. j.g. Sarah Coppock's job was to ensure safe navigation of the USS Fitzgerald. On June 17, 2017, she was "derelict in the performance of those duties," resulting in the deaths of seven sailors, according to the single charge she faced Tuesday.
The Fitzgerald's commanding officer, Cmdr. Bryce Benson, was not on deck at the time of the collision. It fell to Coppock to navigate through the heavily trafficked waters off the coast of Japan. She was charged for failing to "communicate and coordinate with the Combat Information Center, report ship specified contacts to the commanding officer, operate safely in a high density traffic condition and alert crew of imminent collision."
As of press time, the court-martial at the Navy Yard in Washington had not ended. Sentencing details were not available.
Coppock was charged along with two unnamed junior officers on board the Fitzgerald.
Those sailors, a tactical action officer and a surface warfare coordinator whose jobs focused on overseeing the gathering and communicating of vital information to the bridge, each face three charges: dereliction in the performance of duties through neglect resulting in death, negligent hazarding of a vessel and negligent homicide. They face a joint Article 32 hearing Wednesday to see whether they will face court-martial.
The tactical information officer is accused of failing in her job to "communicate with the bridge vital contact information and safe speed and maneuvering recommendations, enforce watch-standing principles in the combat information center and support the officer of the deck."
The surface warfare officer is charged with "effectively failing in his duties to supervise those on watch in the USS Fitzgerald Combat Information Center," which monitors the operations of the ships and maintains contact with the bridge and the tactical action officer.
Both lieutenants are charged with negligent homicide for causing the deaths of the seven seamen in their flooded berthing section by "negligently failing to comply with the USS Fitzgerald commanding officer's standing orders" and to effectively ensure the sailors under their oversight carried out their jobs – watch-standing for the tactical information officer. For the surface warfare officer, the job was "to maintain surface contact situational awareness; provide operational recommendations to the tactical action officer and the bridge, ensure proper watch-standing practices were carried out; and properly stand his assigned station."
The Fitzgerald was navigating out to sea near Yokosuka Port in Japan when it failed to recognize the dangers of three ships heading across its path.
They were close enough to present risk of collision, according to a U.S. Navy report. Two of the ships maneuvered to avoid a collision -- one coming particularly close. The report said Coppock was responsible to alert the commanding officer after that close call. The third, called the ACX Crystal, did not.
Tuesday's court-martial proceeding is the first of several in the coming weeks that will put five officers on the stand for two Japan-based ship collisions in the summer of 2017.
Two months after the deadly Fitzgerald incident, the USS John S. McCain collided with a tanker near the Singapore Straits on Aug. 21. Ten McCain sailors were killed.
The collisions were separate, but both involved Japan-based Navy destroyers; the Navy found that both involved poor seamanship and were the result of compounded errors in which crews lost situational awareness.
Benson is slated for an Article 32 preliminary hearing May 21. He faces charges that include negligent homicide, hazarding a ship and dereliction of duty.
A date has not been finalized for an Article 32 for the relieved commanding officer of the McCain, Cmdr. Alfredo Sanchez, who is facing similar charges.
Navy reports found that both collisions were "avoidable," caused by poor seamanship and compounded errors. The Navy has acknowledged that its forward-deployed 7th Fleet in Japan was stretched too thin – undermanned, overworked and exhausted under an intense operational schedule. To meet the high operational demand, training and ship maintenance were deferred, according to a Navy review.
Eighteen sailors faced nonjudicial punishment -- 10 on the Fitzgerald and eight on the McCain. That includes the executive officers of both ships and the command master chief of the Fitzgerald, who were found guilty of dereliction in the performance of duties. Each received a letter of punitive reprimand.
Vice Adm. Joseph Aucoin, who commanded the 7th Fleet, and the two top leaders below him were fired, while the Pacific Fleet commander and the commander of Naval Surface Forces in San Diego retired early -- the most senior naval officers to step down in the wake of the tragedies.

How To Select Good Topics For Argument Essays- Tips & Examples
There are many different types of essays that you will be asked to write. One of the most common types is an argument essay. In this essay style, you are asked to present your side of an argument with solid evidence. There are a few ways to make sure that you are successful when writing this type of essay. Here are some tips and examples.
- Choose a debatable or controversial issue
- Choose a topic that moves you
- Research both sides
You can write a good argument essay on a controversial or debatable issue because of the emotional charge from both sides. There is no right or wrong answers when it comes to these issues. There are individuals who believe one side and others that believe the other side. It works out well because there is usually the same amount of information for both sides which makes it easy to write about the side you chose no matter if your support it or oppose it.
Don't choose a topic that you don't care about. Passion is the key to making this essay work. If you fell really strongly about a topic, you want to write this type of essay about that. The emotion will help prove your case.
Unlike many other essays, an argument essay presents the opposing view. It is a trick to make your side more believable. You present the other side of the issue and then explain why it isn't a valid point. You would have at least three direct reasons to believe your thesis and then you would add a paragraph that lists a view of the other side and specific proof to disregard their view.
- Morality of Abortion
- Use of fur for fashion
- Animal Testing
- DNA Cloning
- Interracial adoption
- Same sex marriage
- Legalization of Marijuana for recreational use
There are many more to choose from. This list is mostly to get you thinking about a topic that you would like to write about. Make sure to choose one that you are interested in so that the research is not so tedious. Once you have your topic, write an outline as your next step. It will cause you to stay on track which means you won't deviate from the thesis statement. Good luck and I hope this helped.

Oz Series
One fascinating aspect of the OZ series is its independence from any kind of Tolkienian influence. Understandably so given the fact that Tolkien must have still been at his nursery when the first Oz book was published. Most of the post Tolkien fantasy finds it difficult to go beyond elves, dwarves and goblins. The most endearing aspect of the Oz series is the gradual unraveling of the myriad of wonders of the Land of Oz. We travel to curious regions in the hinterlands of Oz and meet their equally curious inhabitants. We are introduced to races such as 'The Flatheads', 'The Cutenclips', 'The Living Utensils of Utensia', 'The Fuddles', 'The China People' and many others. The books also has an element of myth, with each new book revealing more about the history of the land of Oz.
Most of the Oz books are structured on a quest framework, wherein a fellowship is formed and travels to distant lands to accomplish a quest. Strange lands and their denizens are introduced as part of adventures encountered by the fellowship en route to the quest. The quest presents some intriguing challenges. The fellowship manages to overcome the challenges through a combination of courage, team work and innovation. The character of protagonists and their relationship usually evolves as a result of these experiences and finally there is a happy ending. This particular aspect does not come out really strongly in the Oz series. Each character has his or her own idiosyncrasies which they retain throughout and all the members of the fellowship are just good friends. However there is definitely a happy ending as a result of which all characters live happily till the nest book.
The series also has the popular good versus evil theme. But it is all laid out in black and white. A deeper exploration of values and ethical conflicts is definitely missing. Usually fantasy provides a fertile ground for exploration of value systems in an unbiased manner independent of the noise arising out of inbuilt prejudices due to the social engineering. But Frank Baum stays clear of this area. He is clear as to who his audience is and what he wants to achieve. Children are his audience and he wants to entertain. That he does well.
Overall I would say nothing like a dose of Oz to come out of one's blues. Just go on a happy go lucky quest in the wonderful land of Oz and have fun.
Coming up next Tuesday: Narnia Series.

Essential Information
Some online graduate certificate programs in physical education can be completed entirely online, but others are hybrid programs that have minimal in-person requirements. In addition to a minimum of a bachelor's degree, eligibility requirements for state licensure typically include completion of an approved teacher training program and supervised teaching experience. If students plan to later earn a master's degree, some or all credits from some certificate programs may be applied toward their master's degree.
Graduate Certificate in Physical Education
Physical education teachers at the middle and high school levels work with students to help them develop physical endurance and stamina through exercise, in addition to providing them with a basic knowledge of good nutrition. Online graduate certificate programs in PE are dominated by courses covering theories of physical education and coaching, as well as development and implementation of best practice techniques. A bachelor's degree is generally a prerequisite for such a program.
Information and Requirements
Distance-learners are generally able to complete online graduate certificate programs in PE in 6-12 months. These programs are largely self-directed and allow students to work at their own pace. Instructors blend traditional texts with audio and video presentations to give students a well-rounded experience. Online PE students need a computer with high-speed Internet access. Communication with instructors and classmates typically is conducted by e-mail.
List of Physical Education Courses at the Graduate Certificate Level
Physical education curricula on the graduate certificate level cover PE research and theories, basic health and nutrition, coaching and contemporary teaching methods.
Coaching Method Basics
This course covers the fundamental principles and unique challenges of coaching various team and individual sports for men and women. Topics of special interest include offensive and defensive mental strategy, motivation and scouting.
Nutrition Basics
Students get a comprehensive overview of the basics of proper nutrition as it applies to schools and community agencies. Some topics covered include health education, public health issues and nursing education.

From 2018-2028, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that middle school teachers and high school teachers had a median annual salary of $58,600 and $60,320 respectively. Coaches and scouts made significantly less, earning a median salary of $33,780 per year as of May 2018, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). For the decade spanning 2018-2028, the BLS predicted an 11% increase in job opportunities for middle and high school teachers in general, as well as for coaches and scouts (www.bls.gov).
Continuing Education
Requirements for teaching licensure vary from state to state but generally include a minimum of a bachelor's degree, student teaching experience and passage of one or more exams. PE teachers and coaches interested in furthering their education can seek a master's degree or Ph.D. in physical education or a related field, such as kinesiology.

The Fela Bandwagon..(Conclusion):
Someone once asked the reason why afro-beat music has become suddenly more popular, readily accepted and is growing stronger with time. I don't know for sure, but the answer could be the raw energy from the music.
Everyone has their own way of rationalising the sound. I loved the rhythm section when Tony Allen was drummer and leader of the backing band, Africa 70. He held sway over the percussive elements, led by example and kept the maverick players in check without stunting their natural growth as instrumentalists and musicians. The jazzy horn lines and witty vocals were for me, an added bonus.
Fela himself was a first class musician who composed, arranged and oversaw all the material elements in the music. The man was a multi-instrumentalist. On stage, he played the keyboards, saxophone, sang and conducted the group's repertoire. This is one of the reason I disagree with the many people that like to describe him as Africa's James Brown, he was more than that. JB had a conductor, didn't play any instruments on stage and entertained only through his singing and dancing.
Fela performing Afro-beat live
But afro-beat as a genre, has to evolve like other genres. If it doesn't, it could end up like the old soldiers, who never die but just fade away.
Brian Eno talks about Afro-beat
Music producer, Brian Eno describes the Nigeria 70 (later Africa 70) sound as music from the future. High praise indeed and a validation for afro-beat as a sound. To keep to this vision, the afro-beat genre needs more young people to get involved, bring their own energy and creativity into the genre so it may keep evolving, stay fresh and entertaining.
To those who are active within the genre today, I say thank you very much for your efforts in promoting a revolutionary African sound. Keep the faith, but watch out for those who jump on the bandwagon because of Fela's fame and notoriety. Work with songwriters that think outside the box and embrace all comers. After all, the music is the boss!
Thank you!

College Park Brunch Market
Mark Baratelli, Owner The Daily City, has taken over College Park Farmers Market and turned it into "College Park Sunday Brunch Market." The Market happens in the Infusion Tea parking lot (1600 Edgewater Drive, College Park FL). It happens every Sunday from 11am-3pm.I went to the inaugural opening to relax and sketch. Robert Thompson was playing guitar and singing in an outdoor tent. Mark greeted me and pointed out Orlando's very first fashion truck called Lollipops and Pistols.
Kristin X sat in a lawn chair beside her vintage fashion store on wheels. She is a stay at home mom mom, living her dream of being an artist and creative freak. She studied commercial illustration in college, many moons ago, but it seemed too structured for her. Her true love is designing invitations and stationary goods. Oh and thrifting, lets not forget thrifting. Several women got lost in the trucks vintage clothing for quite some time. Kristin's son took an interest in my sketch and at one point, Kristen's husband took her spot in the lawn chair. He joked that I shouldn't put his beard on his wife.
When I finished my sketch, I went to the Local Roots tent and ordered some shrimp and grits along with a strawberry Mimosa. It was a delicious treat made from all local ingredients. Mark had his 60's themed plastic chairs set up around a patch of fake lawn. Some Kerouac House authors were having a heated discussion presumably about literature. Mark was busy sending out tweets on his cell phone. If you are looking for a unique place to have brunch on a Sunday then stop by the Brunch Market.
Prints are available for each sketch for $250 and many originals can be purchased for $400. White museum grade shadow box frames are $100 more. You can e-mail Thor at firstname.lastname@example.com

Lavender Fields
Sometimes I like to share how a design has developed.
Here I am going backward because this piece, which began as a demo piece in a workshop,
followed on from this piece, done using my embellishing/needle felting machine,
which is a mini version of this piece,
which is now available as a free download from my Craftsy pattern shop.

hand painted fabric friday -and another blast from the past!
What can I say. The weather is not inclining me to do much fabric painting at the moment.
It is too cold to venture out to my shed and things take so long to dry at the moment.
So today I present to you this Monet inspired trio of fabrics, as in Monet's Water Lilies inspired.
I know that these were painted quite a few years back and I remember them well because they were the first pieces that I sold to a real live person, as opposed to over the internet. I even remember who I sold them to.
When I pull out the paints next I need to do some more Monet inspired pieces!

Modern Frame Log Cabin Block
Continuing with my A.T.A.B!
This block is presented as an easy, straight forward block, using up strips of random width.
It is straight forward, but I definitely have problems keeping things 100% straight.
I decided to repeat the block, but with a little bit of wonk. It took me half the time to complete, but then I enjoy working this way.
The fabric for these were used because they were at hand. They are part of (another) self imposed task to USE STUFF UP!
I know which block I prefer. Now I have to decide how to quilt them.
If you are interested you can find out more about my STUFF UP! here.

Stamped Hexagon Block.
After completing a stenciled hexagon block, I was a bit stuck on what to do next because the next block was a picture block using hexagons. Naturally I wanted to do my own version and not copy the one that Amy Gibson had done for this Craftsy Block of the Month class.
That is until I saw this over at Linecat@Large's blog, and then I knew where to go.
I made myself a hexagon shaped stamp and got to work.
I will admit to doing this in a hurry. Other projects were calling me. I didn't really take the time to think it through fully and just dove straight in and as a result there are bleeds and brush marks and if I was going to repeat this I would not use my go to Pebeo Setacolor paint because even in its' undiluted form, it just wasn't thick enough for the best results here. Or maybe in my haste I just hadn't shaken up the bottle properly before hand, because I have used these paints neat lots of times with much better results.
Not to worry. Stitch can hide all sorts of sins!
I think the "basket" is greatly improved by a complete covering in thread...
...but the flowers were still a bit wishy washy, and put yellow over blue and of course you are going to get green.
Time to bring in my favorite tool for enhancing and improving (i.e. covering up mistakes) my Derwent Inktense pencils.
(I have to say, insert whisper, I am so glad to see the back of this one!)

A Return to the Alternative Trip Around the Block!
If you are a new reader to this blog (Hello and Welcome :D) then you won't be aware of my Alternative Trip Around the Block. I knew it was going to take me a while but I am a bit shocked to find that I began this in 2013.
I am determined to complete it but before I share my latest block, I thought it would be worth a quick round up of what I have done so far.
|Asterik and Hashtag Balkan Puzzle Chunky Chevron
Oh my ! There are twenty blocks in all I have only completed seven so far!
I did say in my original post that this could take a while.
|Broken Spider Web String Block Hexi Stripe
Click on the block names if you want to see more, or use the search button to look for Alternative Trip Around the Block.
Here is a sneak peek at the one I am working on at the moment, which is the second of the Hexi blocks.
Stay tuned. I can't guarantee that these blocks will come thick and fast...but they will come...

Bonjour Tristesse by Françoise Sagan, French (1935-2004)
I have just finished reading Bonjour Tristesse, an incredible novel, written by Françoise Sagan when she was only eighteen. She failed her exams at the Sorbonne and decided to write a book instead. The book received instant international acclaim, and by 1959 it had sold 850,000 copies. It has since been translated into many languages and is a "must" for readers who enjoy coming-of-age stories. I first discovered this novel when I was twenty-five and have reread it every five years. Continue reading

In your quest for perfection you defraud yourself of this 'inadequate' moment; entirely overlook how it's drenched in aliveness, saturated in beauty, a uniquely crafted work of love. Do you want to carry on dreaming, or do you want to come alive?

Today's readings
(Mass for the school children.)
"You made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you."
This is one of the most famous lines from Saint Augustine's writings. We celebrate his feast day today, and it is somewhat of a miracle that we celebrate his feast at all. He was the son of a Christian woman and a man who was a pagan, and a crabby pagan at that! His mother, Saint Monica, was persistent in prayer, and eventually her husband was converted to Christianity.
But Augustine, a young man now, had not converted. He lived a rather immoral life, and had come to follow a particular heresy known as Manicheanism, which took ideas from all kinds of different religions and put them all together. He was a very smart man, and became a professor in Milan, Italy. His mother followed him there from where they lived in Africa, and continued to pray for him.
Eventually Augustine came to know the man who would become known as Saint Ambrose, who was the bishop of Milan at the time. He learned a lot from Saint Ambrose, and was very taken by the way that he preached. Eventually through his preaching and Saint Monica's prayers, Augustine was converted and was baptized at the Easter Vigil.
After that, Augustine and his mother returned to Africa, where he lived a quiet life for about three years. Then he heard the bishop of that area, Valerian, talk about the priest shortage, and the people of the area said "Let Augustine be our priest!" So he became a priest, and eventually became the bishop when Valerian died.
So when Augustine wrote that "our hearts are restless until they rest in you," he knew what he was talking about. His life was a crazy mess until Saint Monica's prayers were answered and he was baptized. Then the true purpose of Saint Augustine's life was revealed, and he followed God's call. God will call all of us to do something at some point in our life. It might take a while to figure out what that call is, but once we know, we absolutely will never be happy until we follow it.
Today, Jesus tells the story about the wise virgins who were ready for the wedding feast, and the unwise virgins who didn't come prepared. This is a story that is really about looking to God for our happiness. If we are ready and we wait for the Lord to lead us in our lives, we will be able to come in and feast with him in the life to come. Just like Saint Augustine, if we calm ourselves down and hear the voice of the Lord calling us, we can know a peace and happiness that nothing else in life can ever give us.
"You made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you."

To those who assert that
reached its capacity on how many more people it can fit in - it's just not
true! Last I heard the UK National Ecosystem Assessment (NEA) worked out that
the proportion of England's landscape that is built on is a mere 6% (in fact,
once you include parks, allotments, and domestic gardens into that equation,
the actual figure is more like 2.27%). Britain
Or to put it in an even more compelling way, excluding parks and gardens, if we were to quadruple the size of every city, town and village in the
it would still be the case that just over 90% of land is not urbanised. UK
Now obviously I'm not saying that every bit of non-urban land can be built on - there are important areas of natural beauty, there are mountains, rivers, canals, lakes and reservoirs; and there is important land for farming, horticulture and silage, but the mere suggestion that the UK is overcrowded, and that we are full, is frankly ludicrous, and ought to be put to bed right away!
As I explained in a past Blog post:
"Regarding overcrowdedness, the upshot is, rural areas are quieter because fewer people like to live in them - and house prices are very expensive in Central London and
because more people want to live there.
Its simple logic - the reason Manhattan London has
8.6 million people and rural towns have only a few thousand is because more
people prefer to live in
than they do rural towns. The reason being, not only is there is a greater
abundance of the aforementioned benefits in more populous areas, there are also
better career prospects, higher salaries, better nightlife, greater choices of
restaurants, a richer choice of entertainment, more tourist attractions, better
public transport, greater diversity of people – the list goes on. London
In terms of probability, the highest number of complainers of over-crowdedness will most likely come from a highly populated area, which probably explains why to them the
overcrowded. Most people who pontificate on overcrowding are likely to be
pontificating from a vantage point of high population density. The people with
the highest probability of feeling an intense population density are those who
live in the densely populated areas. For example, if city x has 7 million
people and a village y has 1000 people, and only x and y exist, there is only a
1 in 7000 probability that you don't live in city x. UK
Let's get one thing straight, though - the
is not overcrowded. The mistake people are making is that they are trying to
average population density of people instead of averaging over square miles.
You can't get a proper picture of the UK's people to area ratio by counting how
densely populated a populated area is - the only way is to assess how densely
populated the average square mile would be when considering each square mile as
a weighted average of total population and total area. A tube station in the
rush hour can be overcrowded; so can a concert venue without proper door
control - but take a trip around the UK by plane and look down, and for
the most part you won't see crowds of people, you'll see fields and woodlands. UK
The rate of urban areas in relation to square miles is vanishingly small - there is potential for literally millions more people living in the
It certainly is the case that in some areas of the UK the infrastructure hasn't quite kept up with population demand, but once you accept the general maxim that more people means more cultural and social benefits, it's easy to see that inadequate facilities does not mean the nation is overcrowded, it simply means that the UK infrastructure has not progressed conterminously to facilitate the social and cultural benefits that come with an increased diversity of people."

Thanksgiving booze recap
Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday. It has everything: 1. an emphasis on food, wine and naps, 2. no expectations for gift-giving, and 3. the Dallas Cowboys are guaranteed to be on TV. The wine selection this holiday was modest but solid. There were just two of us, and keeping with the theme of the holiday they were selected based on comfort rather than flash. I'm happy to say I was able to hold off opening the first bottle until nearly 1pm, but I can assure you it was touch-and-go there for awhile. Read the rest of this entry »
To Decant or Not to Decant
Still being fairly new to wine, one subject – among the many – that I'm still trying to figure out is when should you decant a wine and when should you not decant a wine? It's a pretty complicated answer with lots of variables, such as age, tannic structure, acidity, etc. There's no set guideline, but I will try to do my best to give you my take on it.
Imbibers One Hundred
As long as we're talking about lists…
Darcy O'Neil, a fun and witty writer out of Ontario, maintains a blog called Art of Drink, on which he recently compiled a list called the "Imbibers One Hundred". This list is comprised of 100 things he thinks you should drink before you die. He says of it: "This list isn't all encompassing, nor is it a 'good stuff only' list. There are a few things that may make you pause. In most cases the list is not brand specific, but for certain things it is, because of the world wide popularity. Feel free to participate, or not, but it is a good exercise to see what you are missing in life."
BYOB: Urban Belly

Chicago, IL 60618
(773) 583-0500
Urban Belly is amazing. Seriously, go there. Now. Tucked into a little strip mall, nestled in next to a laundry mat, the restaurant is a hidden gem. Chef Bill Kim has created a warm, communal space and a menu that comprehensively represents his evolving philosophy on food and nourishment. Yvonne Kim is a gracious and inviting host as well as super efficient managing influence. And, the next most brilliant thing besides the owners/chef and the food is that this place is BYOB with no corkage fee!

WURST FEST: The Aftermath
Beer and brats. What more could you need or want?
Well, how about 5 types of bratwursty goodness…and 27 types of mustard?!! Oh, and 6 types of beer to sample. WOOOoooo! This is the way Lush patio series goes out for the season…
What were you drinking?
No matter your political convictions, last night was an important and historic moment. I know I am not alone in expressing my amazement at the energy in the air, and the sense of enthusiasm that people all around me were giving off. Like many of my friends and customers here at the shop, I carefully selected a few things to drink while watching the returns come in. I have to say that my own particular choice was fitting: the delicious Victory Brewery's Baltic Thunder porter; made in the same town where I was born. Victory never tasted so sweet.
So, dear readers: what were you drinking during the election?
Making a list…
I like to write lists. There's something very satisfying about organizing information in such a simple, cogent, and digestible manner. To-do lists give a sense of accomplishment (or perhaps, on those less productive days, a sense of failure). Reading them can give you a sense of purpose and ambition. Take for example, the success of the "1000 Things to Do Before You Die" series of books: 1000 Places to See Before You Die, 1000 Books to Read Before You Die, and even 1000 Wines to Try Before You Die.
There's something undeniably simplistic and limiting about this approach, though. Time critic Lev Grossman called lists, speaking of literary ones, "basically an obscenity." And in many ways, they are. So much goes into a book, wine, or piece of art, that to reduce them to a number on a list really does seem like sacrilege. Lists inherently leave something out and privilege one set of experiences over another.

Gorgeous is right! So bold and bright! I need to learn how to make a bow like that! I'm off to look at it again!

The bow was super simple....it is a cheater bow! I admit, I normally use a bow easy. I have a hard time tying Baker's twine with perfection! For this bow, I wrapped my ribbon around three times and then added the brad in the center. No tying required, just fluffing up the bow.

French Air Force Patrouille USA Tour 2017
Be sure to catch the French aerobatic jet team, Patrouille de France, as they tour the U.S. from March 19 until May 4!
31 years since its last tour in North America, the Patrouille de France is coming back to the USA from March 17th to May 6th 2017 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the United States entry into World War I and to reaffirm the historic ties between France and the United States.
This operation in North America will mobilize more than 70 airmen, pilots, mechanics, support staff, 10 Alphajet, 1 Airbus A400M Atlas and 25 tons of equipment, demonstrating French Air Force reach capabilities. The ferry flight will include 4 refueling stops United Kingdom, Iceland, Greenland and Canada.
During this month-and-a-half long journey, the Patrouille de France will perform 30 transit flights and 12 demonstration flights during commemorations and air shows, meet the 2 mythical demonstration teams Thunderbirds and Blue Angels and fly over 9 symbolic monuments of the Franco-American relationship, such as the Statue of Liberty in New York.
Among the highlights of the tour, the Patrouille de France will participate in the centennial commemoration of the US entry into World War I, on April 6th in Kansas City (Missouri). This symbolizes the enduring friendship and unfailing brotherhood of the two countries. The operational cooperation between France and the United States, major partners in the fight against terrorism, is now at an unprecedented level.
On April 21st the Patrouille de France will also join the French Air Force Rafale, presently participating in TEI exercise (Trilateral exercise initiative) at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia. This advanced exercise prepares American, British and French Air Forces to engage jointly in highly contested scenarios. The engagement of the most advanced fighters (F-22, F-35, Rafale, Typhoon) is a testament to the high level of interoperability and mutual trust between the three partners.
See the Patrouille de France in the US Southwest:
- Grand Canyon National Park on April 13th
- Las Vegas, Nevada on April 17th and 18th
- Colorado Springs, Colorado on April 19th

From the parking lot outside of the Alaska SeaLife Center, one can hear a variety of sounds; the sea birds screech and call, and the sea lions, if they're outside, bark raucously. Eagles, which often perch on posts outside the center, may add their plaintive call to the din.
All manner of sea creatures have found a home in Seward's SeaLife Center, and the cacophony outside the complex gives visitors a preview of what's to come. We became members shortly after moving to Seward and have enjoyed frequent visits ever since, looking in on the residents and learning more about the amazing place in which we live. The SeaLife Center does important work, not only educating the public through the state's only public aquarium but also undertaking marine research and wildlife rescue and rehabilitation.

Locks of love on the Brooklyn Bridge.
Addendum: this tradition seems to have started in Paris, where the Pont des Arts has become endangered by the weight of the locks. A reader says it has spread to Germany. Lots of European tourists take the walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, which may explain how it got started here.

On The Job: Update from the Old Spice Interns
By Geoff Roth
What is it like to actually be on one of the world's best summer internships? A couple of months ago, I wrote about a summer internship with Procter & Gamble. The company was interviewing for two guys to travel to Switzerland and Fiji to promote a new line of Old Spice deodorants by competing in challenges and blogging about their experiences.
Well, the two guys who got the jobs are 26-year-old Zachary Scheel from Seattle, and 21-year-old Jonathan Ronzio from Franklin, Mass. Zachary is now soaking up the sun in Fiji while Jonathan is climbing around the Matterhorn. Both of them landed the gig after writing an essay and being interviewed, and were chosen because of their great sense of adventure and their social media skills.
I got a chance to interview them after their first couple of days on the job.
Searching out a great internship
I asked both of them how they found out about the internship.
Jonathan knew about it because of a class project at school. "While researching the Old Spice 'Smell Like A Man, Man' campaign for my advertising class, I came across this internship," he said. "After reading all the details I knew I had found what I was looking for and immediately applied. I am studying marketing at Bryant University and this trip is all about advertising, promotions, and utilizing social networking mediums."
Zachary heard about it through a friend, and after checking it out, felt he had all the qualifications and knew it could help him out in the future. "I went to the Old Spice Adventure website and after reading the description of the type of person Old Spice was looking for, I knew that I owed it to myself to put together an application," he told me.
Getting life lessons
A big part of the internship is competing against one another in several challenges, like swimming with sharks in Fiji or building an extreme snow sculpture at the base of the Matterhorn. Both guys said that the challenges are a great way to build up skills that can be useful in their lives.
"I am approaching every challenge every day with great enthusiasm, confidence, a positive attitude, and a desire to just have fun," Jonathan said. "With that, I know everything can be accomplished. There is no focus on winning, rather aspirations to succeed."
"This is a very unique competition because it is every bit as much about the daily challenges we have to complete as it is about how we capture those challenges in photo or video and project them to all of our friends, family, and coworkers," Zachary said.
Once in a lifetime opportunity
After only a couple of days on the job, both men have already had some incredible experiences.
Zachary's first challenge gave him both not only a unique experience but also a culinary treat.
"On Tuesday my challenge was to weave a palm frond hat and hit the waves with it later in the afternoon. I met up with a local villager named Savi." he told me. "We headed down the beach to look for coconuts and palm fronds. About a half-kilometer down the beach we found a perfect coconut; the only problem was that it was too high up in the tree to get down using a stick. I was determined to get the coconut so I shimmied about 30 feet up the tree to get it down. Savi helped me husk the coconut and we sat by the beach on some driftwood and drank fresh coconut milk. I can honestly say I don't think I've ever tasted something quite as delicious and refreshing."
Jonathan is getting a full-blown Swiss experience.
"Today I snowboarded alongside little Matterhorn, and sculpted my own mini Matterhorn complete with Old Spice boulders," he said. " I also decided to make this snow sculpture into a jump to give the challenge a little something extra. Later on I rode the Klein Matterhorn gondola to the highest viewing point in Europe and gazed across Switzerland, Italy, and France in one endless panoramic. Next, I walked down into the middle of the glacier through an ice tunnel of blue freshness. I finished off the day listening to some live music in the church square and eating cheese fondue. All this on Day One!"
Experiences that will help career
As with every great internship, Zachary and Jonathan realize that their experiences will help them later in life.
Jonathan wants to go into marketing and he knows this will help him. "With my concentration being marketing, I believe this internship will help immeasurably," he said. "The job market is so tough these days and everyone is looking for something unique to put on their resume. Well I think I more than found that."
Zachary has already made a contact that could help him with his future education plans: "I'll be applying to business schools in the fall to pursue a MBA/MSE dual-degree," he said. "I've always had a strong interest in brand management and advertising. One of the acquaintances that I've met at Old Spice actually graduated from one of the dual-degree programs that I will be applying to and went to work for Old Spice immediately afterward -- so who knows, maybe I could be organizing the next generation of Old Spice Adventure Internships one of these days!"
Zachary an Jonathan have started blogging about their experiences, and you can follow their adventures at http://oldspiceadventure.com.

Those who appreciate Palm Beach dining deals—and who doesn't?—may be pleased that Trevini has decided to monkey with a good thing.
The indoor-with-terrace restaurant at 290 Sunset Ave. is doubling down on value on Thursdays.
> Palm Beach Dining Guide: Summer deals
In addition to featuring its three-course prix-fixe dinner menu—the aforementioned good thing since it's priced at $36.95—Trevini now is offering 50 percent off all cocktails, wine and beer every Thursday in August.
That's an invitation to creatively pair beverages with Trevini's prix-fixe, which launched in May for the summer.
And the prix-fixe menu isn't a lockstep affair since it features several selections from which to choose—and the menu changes at least a few times a week.
Appetizers range from veal tortellini to sautéed mussels, tomato-and-mozzarella salad, fried calamari, Caesar salad and more.
A given night's main-course selection on the prix-fixe might include, among other things, lemon sole Francese, osso buco with saffron risotto, chicken paillard, seared Cornish hen, and seabass oreganata with steamed escarole.
A choice of desserts might be gelato, tiramisu or cheesecake.
Except for Sundays, Trevini currently is open nightly for dinner, offering the $36.95 prix-fixe menu plus its regular a la carte menus.
For more information, call the restaurant at 833-3880 or visit www.treviniristorante.com.
