Marilynn Brass
I know that a lot of our Facebook Friends are celebrating their mothers today, so we thought we'd post a few comments about our mother, Dorothy Katziff Brass who died in April 1962 when I was 20, and my sister Sheila, the other part of the Brass Sisters was 25.
Our mother was a no-nonsense, loving parent who was a self-taught cook and baker and taught her two young daughters how to bake and cook as soon as they could reach the kitchen table on the second floor of the three-decker house we lived in on Sea Foam Avenue in Winthrop.
She had desperately wanted to go to college, but her parents thought a girl didn't need a college education. Instead, she put her two younger brothers, Julius and Morris through Northeastern University, and worked to pay the mortgage.
Popular, she was known as the prettiest girl in Winthrop, Sheila was once approached by a neighbor who said to my 15-year-old sister, "You will never be as beautiful as your mother." She was wrong!
She loved to dance, and she had beautiful clothes made by our grandmother, who had been a couturier in Russia. There were tales of Melba toast and tea at cafeterias in Boston late at night before being brought home by her date.
Our father, Harry, was a hospital pharmacist who worked for 50 years for non-profits, so there wasn't a lot of extra money, but we had fun as a family. Our father once baked a moss green cake that was delicious. He also made ice cream at home after WWII from a mix called, 10-Below. Freezers were then the size of a shoebox.
During WWII, she'd found herself caring for her terminally ill mother and her two young daughters while our father went by train to Kalamazoo, MI on a business trip. Aside from her usual responsibilities, she had to provide nutritious meals for her family during rationing and in our father's absence found herself shoveling coal into the furnace. She was less than five feet tall.
We lived near the Atlantic Ocean, so we went to the beach every day during the summer. Our mother produced Lemon Meringue Pie or Chocolate Velvet Cake for us when we came home after going to the State Theater on Shirley Street.
Once after seeing Rita Hayworth in COVER GIRL, I found that I was having mild pain in my chest muscles. She reassured me that it was growing pains, but she still made sure I didn't have a problem.
One of my fondest memories of her was the unexpected trip we made to see Danny Kaye in THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY at the State Theater, in 1947 on a snow day. She led a group of neighborhood children and us through ankle-deep slush to the movies.
She started the Sisterhood and Hebrew School at our synagogue, Temple Teferith Abraham, and she and our father were Presidents of the Sisterhood and Brotherhood at the Temple at the same time in the 1950s.
Known as the Cake Boss of Winthrop, she once baked a 3-D replica of the Temple, and it took four men to carry it down the stairs and across Shirley Street to the Temple. It was divided in fourths and sold for $35 quarter when a six-room apartment was renting for $35 a month. The money raised went into the Temple's building fund.
Of course, there were family disagreements, but we always made up. There were times when she'd go into Boston to Filenes Basement or Jordan Marsh, and she'd leave us a note congratulating us on a well-received essay or a really fine drawing. There were also times when she told us not to worry about the results of a math test. She always signed her notes, "Love, Mommy."

Dear Forum,
I wonder if it is possible to use GAP as a library, i.e. to create a
library that would perform a particular computation, and that
is callable for the outside world in the usual C way, just as one would
use the standard numeric library (libm on mosty Unix systems) to
do a particular numeric computation.
In my case I have a large C++ program that needs to be extended by a
computation that takes a square matrix of integers, constructs a graph
from it in some way, does something with this graph (including
automorphism group computation), and returns a couple of numbers back to
the main program.
This extension part would be perhaps 50 or 100 lines of GAP code at most,
but it would be 10-20 times bigger in C or C++ (provided that I use nauty
for doing the automorphism group part).
The computation needs to be done perhaps 10000 or 100000 times, so there is
no question of calling GAP to do the job via a script, or something like
I could in principle also start GAP as a main routine, and call the large
C++ program in question from it. Hence the second question.
Is there a description somewhere of such a procedure (again, I don't want
to communicate with the C++ program via a file, I have to do it the normal
way? In other words, is there a C-interface for GAP?
(yes, it is there, I suppose, but I cannot seem to find any docs about it).

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
-Joyce Kilmer
Today, as I reached Cubbon Park thirty minutes early for my bi-weekly class, I decided to take a brisk walk around. But my plans were thwarted by none other than a gigantic tree. I am always fascinated by trees. I stopped short in awe at the size of the tree. And that was when I noticed the squirrels and the parrots playfully prancing around. I lost sense of time as I stood and watched them in silence, taking care not to scare them away. Not that they were bothered. They were used to the humans walking in the park. So I had an eyeful of these merry creatures, and clicked some pictures too. Then I noticed a man placing some nuts on the branch of the tree. And the birds and squirrels playfully shared their bounty.
There were some pigeons too, near the tree trunk. All I had to do was shoo them away from the ground, to get a beautiful picture as they flew away. (No, I didn't do that!). Guess I have a halo around my head now. It only takes a small part of nature for that positivity! This happy sight still lingers in the mind as the day progresses.

What are the pros? good germination
What are the cons? uncompetitive
I grew Ozark Giant, King of the North, Ajvarski and Red Cheese in 2018. Disclaimer: I used straw mulch which suppressed soil temperatures and pepper plant growth. Of the varieties chosen, Red Cheese produced earliest and also the most individual red fruit (10 fruit per plant), but the flesh was tightly wrapped around the seeds, which made them fussy to eat raw or cut up. Ozark Giant produced 0 fruit for me, Ajvarski produced 5 red fruit per plant, and King of the North produced 5 red fruit per plant. Both Ozark Giant and King of the North were defoliated by a bacterial disease that started in the King of the North (possible seed contamination?). Ozark performed admirable up until defoliation, and then failed to set fruit. I suppose I can't expect much when defoliated. King of the North still produced fruit despite defoliation, and Ajvarski was bullet proof.

What are the pros? Wow Prolific!
What are the cons? None
I have never done well with peppers before but I liked the reviews on this one so I put in six plants early May. I had to battle flea beatles like crazy and thought the plants would be so stunted they wouldn't do anything. Finally around the first week of June the beatles went elsewhere (my eggplant) and the peppers started growing. I harvested about a dozen peppers in July/August. It is now the first week of September, they are about three feet tall and I just harvested 39 mostly huge peppers. There are at least that many more in varying stages of development and they are still setting fruit! Talk about prolific! We've got another couple months to go before our first frost so I think I'll end up getting at least 100 peppers off these six plants if not more. I don't think I'll ever plant any other variety of bell pepper. Highly recommended!

What are the pros? Strong plant
What are the cons? Grow mark on peppers no flavor
This was the least favorite out of 4 varieties I grew in greenhouse. Peppers were small with lots of grow lines on outside of peppers making it unattractive.
Not much flavor. Will not recommend for our climate, even in greenhouse.
21 out of 24 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? So good! Super thick walled
What are the cons? large peppers broke branches
The flavor and size of these were better than an other variety we grew this year! I was amazed at how thick the walls were! The CA wonder that we grew tasted blan just like a store bought grew pepper but not the ozark giant! And giant is an understatement! The peppers were so large Ava numerous we had a hard time keeping the branches from breaking! That was the only downfall of this variety!
24 out of 28 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Easy, productive, delicious
What are the cons? none
This variety does great in our hot summers. We have grown it a few years now. The first year we transplanted it 2 if not 3 times (I don't remember why we did this, but yeah) and it thrived and gave us lots of peppers. We decided it was a winner at that point. The other times we have grown this we did get several red peppers late in the season, other times we only get green, but either way they are delicious. This year we only got 2 peppers, but where we planted them got too much shade and it was a record year for rain. We will grow these again this year. :) Yum yum!

The colors are bright and cheerful and Max, even while he's driving everyone insane, is adorable. The store looks like an upscale grocery store with lots of choices of fresh food and fish, towering aisles of cereal, and most customers carrying shopping bags, rather than carts. Milo's mother has endless patience with his shenanigans, even when he keeps whining for treats and sneaking things into the cart.
Verdict: This is funny and the art attractive, but it's probably not going to appeal to parents who are trying to teach their children not to beg, whine, or sneak things into the cart in the store or who have to juggle multiple children and a tight budget when shopping. Best-suited for older kids who can be suitably superior about not partaking in Max's bad behavior and parents with a strong sense of humor. The first in a series, I'm interested in seeing what adventure Max has next.

Collagen Induction Therapy For Acne Scars/
For those who have had a long battle with acne, it can be a tiring experience. The need for medication and treatment to keep treacherous pimples at bay is a constant struggle, and acne scars act as an unfortunate tribute to the epic clash. Even long after your acne has subsided, the scars persist as an unfriendly reminder of your acne-filled past. Luckily, there is an incredible treatment, collagen induction therapy, that works to reduce the appearance of acne scars and leaves your skin looking healthy and smooth. Collagen induction therapy (CIT) is available at Siti Med Spa in San Diego, and to schedule a free consultation give us a call at (619) 717-8484.
What is Collagen Induction Therapy?
Collagen induction therapy, also known as microneedling or skin needling, is an amazing treatment that works to stimulate the collagen and elastin naturally produced in your skin. Collagen and elastin are the substances that keep your skin elastic, firm, and youthful, and over time the body stops producing as much collagen. This procedure works to enhance the amount of collagen you produce, providing a natural way to reduce wrinkles, improve skin tone, and reduce the appearance of scars.
How Does Collagen Induction Therapy Treat Acne Scars?
Collagen induction therapy uses tiny needles in a DermaPen to create micro wounds on the area where acne scars are prevalent. These wounds start your natural healing process, leading to a rush of collagen, elastin, and new skin cells to the new tiny wounds over your acne scars. The collagen, elastin, and new skin cells rush to the acne scars, working to improve the texture and feel of your skin while reducing the appearance of the scars.
Combine CIT With Platelet Rich Plasma For Best Results
If you really want to maximize the effectiveness of your acne scar treatment, we suggest combining collagen induction therapy (CIT) with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. PRP therapy will take a small amount of your blood and concentrate it to only the essential components needed to heal skin tissue. Then, this platelet-rich plasma will be injected back into your skin through collagen induction therapy using a DermaPen. By using microneedling, the PRP will initiate a stem cell response to further stimulate the production of collagen, leading to even better results with your acne scars.
Acne Scar Treatment With Collagen Induction Therapy
If you are tired of having acne scars, Siti Med Spa can help. Located in San Diego, we specialize in collagen induction therapy, using a DermaPen and microneedling to dramatically reduce the appearance of acne scars. Collagen induction therapy, especially when combined with Platelet Rich Plasma therapy, is the best way to improve the tone and texture of your skin, producing noticeable results. If you are interested in learning more about acne scar treatment in San Diego, contact Siti Med Spa today at (619) 717-8484.

brian-mcgee - November 21, 2017
If Phantom Thread sounds like a Star Wars film, that's no coincidence, because in certain circles, this film is every bit as anticipated as The Last Jedi. Any time one of our greatest living directors teams up with one of our greatest living actors for a film is cause for celebration. Cinephiles everywhere are eagerly awaiting the release of Phantom Thread, the latest film from Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights, The Master), like the gaggles of nerds awaiting the release of The Last Jedi.
Add to all this the fact that this film re-teams Anderson with his There Will be Blood star Daniel Day-Lewis—who has announced this as his final film—and you've got yourself one of the biggest art house event films in years. It's terribly sad to think that this partnership only yielded two films, but if Phantom Thread is even half as good as There Will Be Blood, then they will go down as one of the best director/actor pairings of all time.
As one of those aforementioned cinephiles, I'm beside myself with anticipation for this one. I'm also envious of anyone in NY and LA that can take advantage of these advanced screenings touted in this teaser. For the rest of us, Phantom Thread will open in early January probably. Hopefully.

It's that time of year again!
Summer is here! And with it, longer days and a lot more sun, so it is time to fill your shopping carts with sunscreen and SPF products. Your sunscreen is going to be one of the products closest to your skin, and responsible for keeping your skin healthy and from burning. So it might be a good idea to take a look at just what is going into the bottle. Just like most other products, SPF products can be ethically made with healthier ingredients. Below are some brands and products that are worth checking out this summer!
Suntegrity's creator aims to help reduce skin cancer, in honour of her mother who died of it, without subjecting our skin to toxic chemicals. Their mineral sun care line doesn't use chemical UV blockers or other toxic ingredients. All products are SPF 30, and they have stuff for face, body, and lips.
Lanolips products are fantastic lotions and balms, including a tinted lip balm with SPF 30. All their products are made using lanolin, which comes from sheep wool. No worries though, it is completely cruelty free, since it is a by-product of shearing.
Ilia is an organic cosmetic line that strives to be ethical and sustainable, which I would say they succeed in, seeing as their products come in recyclable containers. Specifically, they are well-known for their lip products. They have long had tinted lip conditioners with SPF 15, but this summer they have expanded this collection with two more colours.
Remember, most organic skincare lines probably also offer SPF products, so you can browse our master list if you want to explore other brands. You can also check out sites such as Content Beauty and Wellbeing or Naturisimo for more sun care products.

Good morning!
Ok- I have made 3 pairs of these loomed slippers, for LDS Humanitarian, but I didn't write out the pattern yet. So I will attempt to do this on here today that way it is easier for me to print out for Crafting Angels next Tuesday. I am hoping to get a couple of people started on making these as they are very much needed.
Now I used the mitten loom from In The Attic. I know they were having more made as they had sold out really quickly with this last batch. Let me see if they have more in now...
Nope-- they still don't have them. Bret told me they would soon though. Meanwhile the loom has 18 pegs spaced 3/4" apart from top of peg to top of next peg.
CindWoods Looms has Youth Slipper looms available for $8-- just scroll down that page till you see "Child Slipper 17 peg". It will work just fine too I am sure.
People have asked if they can use the newborn loom and my thoughts are they would make the slippers way too wide for kids. For adults maybe, yes, but not these for kids.
Ok so we are using 3 strands of yarn held together.
E-wrap all of the pegs 4 times (yup- 4 times) around.
Lift 3 wraps over 1 wrap. This forms a nice 'brim' for your slipper.
Now e-wrap and knit 7 rows.
Making the Heel (the numbers represent the pegs)
E-Wrap just 10 pegs and knit off and hook the yarn around the tack.)
Knit off those 10 pegs. (220.127.116.11.126.96.36.199.9.10.)
Now E-Wrap backwards but only on 8 pegs (starting with peg number 126.96.36.199.126.96.36.199) Knit those off.
E-Wrap forwards again on 6 pegs (188.8.131.52.7.8.) Knit those off
E-Wrap backwards on 4 pegs (22.214.171.124.)
E-Wrap forwards on 2 pegs (5.6.)
So now you need to increase the numbers of pegs you are working on again, increasing by twos to widen the heel out again, (just as you decreased by twos before). Wrap peg number Words of advice from Cynthia who sells this loom "I have found that if you wrap and pick the first peg added, and then go the other direction to finish to row, it is tight but doesn't leave a hole."
I (Bev) still get a small hole but you can just stitch those shut later.
Now E-Wrap pegs 7 (knit that off) then 6.5.4. knit off.
E-Wrap pegs (22.214.171.124.7.8.) knit off.
E-Wrap pegs (22.214.171.124.18.104.22.168.) Knit off.
E-Wrap pegs (188.8.131.52.18.104.22.168.9.10.) Knit off. You have made the heel!
Just like my baby booties pattern.
E-wrap and knit 12-15 more rows depending on how long you want those slippers. Then gather-remove them from the loom. Pull tightly and weave yarn under several stitches on the inside of the slipper.
12 rows makes them about 5.5" long. The slippers will stretch and grow with the child too, so that's always a plus.
I have been adding a ribbon or a crocheted chain at the base of the 'brim' so they can be tied on little feet. I crocheted a chain about 16" long and then sc all the way back down the chain.
Well, I am off to Adult Religion Class where we are learning about ways to effectively study the scriptures and I can't wait! So excited for this class as I love reading the scriptures.
Have a fantastic day today! Make it a good one by helping someone in need and hugging the ones you love!

By Jennie Orton
CALGARY — The Palomino stands to lose a couple pounds on Sunday as bartender and Frankie McQueen front man Scotty Charles, along with AGM Jared Lagasse shed the locks they have been cultivating for almost two decades combined in the name of good causes.
Charles and Lagasse will be chopping it all off to raise money for Brain Canada and the Kids Cancer Care Foundation respectively on Sunday the 9th at 2 p.m.
The event will feature a silent auction towards the cause though donations can be made ahead of time at GoFundMe.
Charles, who hopes to make it a yearly event, chose Brain Canada because of their promising work treating brain disease; something that has affected many members of his family. He is currently halfway to his goal of $3,000 and is taking donations at GoFundMe.
Lagasse chose Kids Cancer Care Foundation for their work helping families fighting childhood cancer in Alberta, offering programs that are uniquely designed to meet the needs of the whole family at each stage of the cancer journey. Lagasse's donation page is also at GoFundMe.
Like curtains falling on the end of an era, the mighty flowing manes of these two local beasts will hit the ground at 4 p.m. on Sunday. But weep not for the golden hair surprise, for they will find new life as donations for Angel Hair for Kids. So that less fortunate kids who are beating cancer and have lost their hair can roll with a rockin' do too.
Swing by the Palomino on Sunday, August 9th at 2 p.m. and share in the shears.AB, Alberta, Brain Canada, charity, cut hair for charity, Jared and Scott Cut Their Hair, Kids Cancer Care, Palomino

Above: Champion exhibitor Gary Cheeseman passed away a day before his 60th birthday. As the news sunk in for family members, thieves emptied his birdroom
SICK CRIMINALS HAVE stolen exhibition birds from Gary Cheeseman's birdroom – four days after his death.
Angered friends in the hobby have rallied round to support Kent Police in their investigation after crossbills, chaffinches, mealy redpolls, goldfinches and mosaic canaries were taken from Mr Cheeseman's birdroom and aviary in Aylesford during the evening of March 15.
Mr Cheeseman – husband to wife Janice and father to daughters Holly and Abby – lost his fight against a long-term illness on March 11.
A long-standing member of Walthamstow & Chingford CBS, Mr Cheeseman was known not only for his British birds and interest in new colour canaries, but for the volume of exhibition birds that he regularly benched at the shows.
Club secretary and friend Glenn Lewingdon told Cage & Aviary Birds: "Some thieving low-lives broke into Gary's shed and aviary while his family are still grieving. This was not an opportunistic theft, this was planned!"
No apparent damage was carried out to the birdroom, and the thieves left behind quality equipment.
Mr Lewingdon added: "Gary was very well liked in the British bird fraternity and there are a lot of upset people at present.
"We are certain someone who knew Gary carried out this attack."
Last September, Mr Cheeseman was forced to cut down on his stock because of his illness, but was able to retain his best show team.
His final outing exhibiting his birds was at the Staffordshire BB&MC in Chesterton on January 14, where his yellow bunting hen achieved the best-in-show title.
Bernard Williams was one of the last fanciers to congratulate Mr Cheeseman on his win.
He said: "I was lucky enough to present Gary with his last trophy for his stunning bunting hen. What a fitting way to finish in the hobby! How someone could break in and steal Gary's last birds is despicable and unacceptable."
● Anyone who is offered for sale British birds or dimorphic canaries in suspicious circumstances is asked to email Glenn Lewingdon (firstname.lastname@example.com), who on behalf of the Cheeseman family will liaise with Kent Police.

Grab a Direct Mount Narrow/Wide Chainring for single chainring perfection.
Designed by Race Face to work with their Cinch system, these are ideal for running a single chainring setup on a mountain bike. These feature a narrow wide tooth pattern for excellent chain retention without the use of a chain keeper, especially when paired with a clutched rear derailleur. 4mm thick and made from aerospace strength 7075 aluminum, these direct mount rings are strong and stiff, definitely mountain ready.
The Direct Mount Chainrings come in a variety of sizes and are only compatible with crankarms using the Race Face Cinch system. Compatible for 9, 10, and 11 speed and weighing 41 grams in the 26 tooth version.
Good install directions on website, easy install, appears to be good quality. Time will tell. Really improved the climbing ability of my mid-fat, which came equipped with a 32 chainring. I highly recommend Race Face.
Been doing business with this company for the last year or so, and they have never let me down, the product is top quality and ones of the things that I appreciate the most is the prompt response to send what I have need.

There are plenty of barns in the Palouse that one could capture on digital film. I should know, as Jeff Clow and I scouted almost 100 of them last August. Of all of the ones I have shot, this one is one of my favorites. Why? For two reasons.
First, I love red barns. There is something about how the red stands out against the blue sky and green crops that make photos pop. Red is a very popular color for barns and came about by accident. According to the Farmers Almanac, hundreds of years ago farmers would seal their barns with linseed oil, which is an orange-colored oil derived from the seeds of the flax plant. To this oil, they would add a variety of things, most often milk and lime, but also ferrous oxide, or rust. Rust was plentiful on farms and because it killed fungi and mosses that might grow on barns, it was very effective as a sealant. It turned the mixture red in color.
The second reason, I love this barn are the horses. Of the four times I have been there, the horses have always been out, although in different locations throughout the barnyard. My first time, they were in perfect position, standing by the side of the barn, making the horses the predominant subject. The time I shot this, they were toward the back of the yard, feeding on their own personal pile of hay, making the barn more of the predominant subject.

Donald Trump could voice support for hard Brexit during UK visit, piling pressure on May
Donald Trump could voice support for a hard Brexit during his UK visit, allies of the president have predicted in a move that would pile pressure on Theresa May.
Sources close to Mr Trump have told The Telegraph that he is a supporter of a clean break with Brussels and may say so publicly if asked.
The US president believes Germany dominates the European Union and wants Britain to be "independent", according to well-placed sources.
It raises the prospect that Mr Trump could criticise the Chequers plan which Mrs May revealed last week and which triggered the resignations of David Davis and Boris Johnson.
Any supportive comments from the US president would likely be jumped on by Tory Eurosceptic...

A MINIATURE gingerbread village, a glass eye in a gold box, a traffic lollipop stick, a suitcase full of whisky and one disgruntled husband were just some of the items left behind in Scots hotel rooms last year.
The annual round-up by budget chain Travelodge also included the keys to an Aston Martin, a bikini made in Macdonald tartan, and a personalised Louis Vuitton case full of "bespoke outfits" for a cat, including a pram and a range of dummies.

Also forgotten in rooms throughout Scotland were a pile of rocks collected from the summit of Ben Nevis, soil from the Highlands, a set of bagpipes, a Vera Wang wedding dress and a 40-year-old love letter.
One woman left her husband behind in Livingston, and drove for half an hour before she realised and returned to the hotel.
Travelodge spokeswoman Shakila Ahmed said: "It was a bumper year for weird and wonderful items left behind in our Scottish hotels.
"What is becoming evident after speaking to our customers is that the pace of life has become so fast and we are so eager to get from A to B that valuable possessions are easily being forgotten.
"As a result of changing for a new modern look and feel, more new business customers and families have been staying, so this year's lost and found inventory list has revealed some new unique items being left behind.
"Our 2014 list also revealed how much smart technology has become a part of our everyday lives, as we have had 12,000 tablets and smartphones left behind in our hotels in the last 12 months. This is a significant increase from previous years."

text: Lately I've been reminded of my need to hear the gospel regularly. I was raised in a Christian house and I've been going to church for decades, but I still need to hear the good news about Jesus. This is what worship leader Cam Huxford says about the issue: "I have heard it said before that when you sing songs in worship you're preaching to yourself. You need Jesus too. Your band needs Jesus. You need to hear the gospel everyday. Be sure you and your band stop and listen to the words you're singing." Now Cam is obviously discussing the issue from the perspective of a worship leader, but this idea applies to us all. Sometimes when we worship we can get distracted and our minds can wander. Hopefully we're distracted by good music, but we can just as easily be distracted by an out of tune guitar or other musical mistakes. Other times we can just be lost in our minds worrying about bills to pay and responsibilities approaching on Monday. Perhaps worst of all, our pride might puff up as we think to ourselves, "I've heard this idea too many times recently. I don't need to hear about this again." That mindset, I think, is the most dangerous. Our assumption that we don't need to hear the gospel regularly and often demonstrates that we've misunderstood our predicament. God wants us to grow and mature in our faith, but that doesn't mean we give up hearing the good news. In our services we stand whenever the gospel is read. We do this so that we recognize how life-giving the gospel is. Without the good news of Jesus we would still be dead in sins and an enemy of God. Rob Bell had a sermon series called Jesus Wants to Save Christians. I think that's a powerful idea that we need to remember. The good news of Jesus isn't just for non-Christians; it's for all of us.

This time my only injury was some mat burn on my left instep. I must be improving! Every year my body awareness, mindfulness, martial skill, and gratitude for this tribe increases.
For many Springs we've had one of the larger informal gatherings of jujutsu practitioners in my system in the shadow of Mount Shasta. The venue is like a zen temple made by a millionaire half way up a mountain. It's always a transformative experience, designed to totally overwhelm the mind that's so detrimental to so much of our consciousness. The sheer amount of distilled skill, body knowledge, martial prowess, and grain alcohol staggers the imagination, particularly when experienced at the same time. There is also a cat with a stubby tail.
The Austin dojo usually fields three or four to this event. Dire predictions about the consequences of me being the only representative from Austin went unheeded, so this year I climbed the mountain alone. The only benefit was a smaller overall attendance, leading to more personal attention and an easier time collecting all the Pokemon. We had as many instructors as not, a teacher-to-student ratio rarely seen in the martial arts. And it always leads to the same dynamic. Teacher A teaches you something. You then switch to Teacher B, who tells you something subtly different. I've learned that saying "but Teacher A just said this other thing!" doesn't work. You stay present with the teacher in front of you, and chamber the other teacher's technique for future exploration.
Not that there isn't continual comparison, improvement, and debate about the best way to do things and why. Frequently this happens after the formal classes are over and the alcohol has begun to flow. But in the moment, each teacher has a unique perspective, frequently based on twenty, thirty, or more years of experience that's really worth fully embodying for the short time they're in front of you. It's then up to you, as the seeker, to suss out what marrow there is to be teethed from each experience and which method works for you right now, while realizing that some of the knowledge will only be clear later at some higher level of sensitivity and awareness, and some is already happening without conscious effort.
This instructor magic lasts for a short period of time, and it is critically important not only to take notes, but to embody the knowledge with willing victims as soon as possible afterward to get it out of your mind and into your body. My Austin brethren who though to escape the agony of the training will soon discover they have merely postponed it.
Major takeaways this year included just how much throwing strength away is fundamental to this system. When the founder says "no strength" he means "no strength." Every motion should be feel completely natural for both the attacker and the defender. The attacker should feel confident at every moment that he has you and that proceeding with the attack will lead to victory. Instead, if the defender has the body skills, sensitivity, and relaxation, the attacker throws, pins, or off-balances themselves by continuing the attack. There is never a moment of doubt, a feeling of being "done to" on the attacker's part. At most the defender is hijacking the attacker's intention, but it much more an act of will or mind than a physical response.
One place this became very clear was the second-degree black belt material I'm working on now. It's finally starting to sink in for me, and the biggest thing I noticed was that it's nearly 100% setup. If my posture is correct and my subtle response to the incoming attack is sensitive enough, the attacker begins to collapse long before I "apply" the technique, and the speed of that collapse is directly proportional to the power of their attack. Excessive movement or the need to add energy to the system on my part simply means I missed my window and now have to compensate. Both should be practices mindfully, i.e. what's the ideal application, and what do I do if I miss it?
Another clarity was the degree to which similar techniques at higher belt levels can be seen as a progression of backups in case the first technique fails. I perceived some conflicting information here from different instructors. Some said "do the first degree technique fully first, then apply the second degree technique to already destroyed posture." Others said "I learn more if I do the second-degree technique to someone with full posture, so don't go too far with the first-degree technique first." It's up to me to make sense of all this, which is a constant challenge.
Finally, the feeling of tribal acceptance with a group of like-minded weirdos is one of the best features of the event. Late into the last night we launched in a four hour alcohol-enhanced group singing extravaganza MCed by a local nurse of shocking Bardic talent. I was able to dredge up long-dormant spontaneous harmonizing and word-following skilz I haven't fielded since my six years of choir in high school. I was one of the people amazed at how well I could do all this for songs I barely knew or had never heard before.
Profound thanks to everyone who participated in this and previous years! It will remain one of my two non-negotiable trips each cycle of the sun.

Earlier this month, Intel formally began rolling out products based on its new 3D XPoint know-how, which goals to be the way forward for SSDs because of its a lot faster speeds when in comparison with NAND This all began out with a very costly 375GB SSD , which might solely really be useful and affordable to data centres. For these of you who already own an AORUS or GIGABYTE 200 Series Motherboard you're Optane Ready, all that's needed is an easy BIOS Replace. For example, an ATX case will normally accommodate a microATX motherboard. Are they merely stating that that RAM is overclocked RAM or do you must do something particular with the board to make this RAM work?
Intel says there are more than a hundred thirty motherboards accessible that assist Optane Memory, together with ASRock, ASUS, EVGA, Gigabyte and MSI. This can result in lack of capacitance and subsequent motherboard malfunctions as a consequence of voltage instabilities. If none was available, then the pc would carry out tasks from other reminiscence shops or display an error message, depending on the mannequin and design of the computer and the ROM model.
While most capacitors are rated for 2000 hours of operation at one hundred and five °C (221 °F), 9 their anticipated design life roughly doubles for every 10 °C (18 °F) beneath this. At energy-up, the central processor would load its program counter with the deal with of the boot ROM and begin executing directions from the ROM.
We make no claims about hardware parts not on the checklist. With top blowers, the motherboard parts may be kept underneath 95 °C (203 °F), effectively doubling the motherboard lifetime. A motherboard gives the electrical connections by which the opposite components of the system talk.
This answer comes in a module format and uses Intel® Optane expertise, primarily based on 3D XPoint memory media together with the Intel® Speedy Storage Expertise (Intel® RST) driver. Customary motherboards use electrolytic capacitors to filter the DC power distributed around the board.

Roadshow Films
Now Showing
Documentary or mockumentary? Real or fake? That's the question many will be asking about Casey Affleck's directorial debut, which turns the camera on actor (and brother-in-law) Joaquin Phoenix in the year proceeding his announcement that he was retiring from acting to pursue a new career as a hip hop artist.
I fall very much on the fake side of the argument. For for all it's fly-on-the-wall, actor-in-meltdown cinema verite, there's a sly sense of fun that keeps breaking through the very convincing facade constructed by Affleck and Phoenix. The most painful moments in the film are not watching Phoenix snort coke, order hookers off the internet or vomit in toilets (though that scene is still hard to watch); it's whenever he takes to the stage to bust a rhyme that really kills you. Didn't Phoenix do all his own singing as Johnny Cash in Walk The Line (2005)? I could also have done without the constant exposure to his expansive naked paunch.
We've all seen Phoenix's funny-cringey appearance on David Letterman where, resembling a hobo in a suit, he proceeded to mumble (if speak at all) in response to Dave's questions and ribbing. We've also seen the subsequent send-up by Ben Stiller (who appears briefly in the film, pitching the script for Greenberg to Phoenix) at the 2009 Oscars. Both of those instances appear in I'm Still Here but Affleck is more concerned with what the public hasn't seen.
That may be one of the driving forces behind this exercise, not so much the message that 'it's tough being a celebrity' (boo freakin' hoo) but to show up the silliness of the entertainment industry and the media's fascination with it; the inordinate amount of time and energy invested in pursuing the minutae of celebrity lives, sometimes at the expense of the dignity of those lives.
But that's another reason to accept I'm Still Here as a fake. Phoenix isn't going to win sympathy by presenting himself, as he does, as an egotistical head case, especially when he eventually returns from his "retirement", clean shaven, in shape and delivering the high caliber performances we know he is capable of. There's no point in giving good performances if no one's buying tickets to see them.
Of course, if it's not a hoax then it's a sad loss and I'd recommend watching the little seen Two Lovers, the 2009 film which Phoenix was supposed to be spruiking during his Letterman appearance. It's one of the actor's best performances and a wonderful (as the case may be) swan song.

Tesla, SolarCity planning more than 200 layoffs in Roseville this fall
Tesla buyers line up in Rocklin to reserve a Model 3
San Mateo-based SolarCity Corp. and its parent, Tesla Inc., plan to lay off more than 200 employees at their Roseville offices, part of continuing restructuring in the aftermath of Tesla's acquisition of SolarCity last fall.
Confirmation of the layoffs came in the form of two standard "WARN Act" letters received by the California Employment Development Department at the end of August. The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act requires large businesses to give early warning of layoffs and closures.
Both letters say that, starting Oct. 31, "we will move the Roseville inside sales, customer account management and information technology operations to other company sites. As a result, we are relocating employees to other locations and will be eliminating some positions across the two companies."
The SolarCity letter specifies 141 layoffs; the Tesla Inc. letter lists 63 layoffs.
The letters – signed by Bryan Ellis, identified as vice president of U.S. Energy Sales – said the layoffs were part of "centralizing our Roseville operations as part of the integration of Tesla and SolarCity."
In an emailed statement sent midafternoon Monday, a Tesla spokesperson said: "Some employees at the Roseville location will remain in their current role or transition to new positions, and we've worked to provide as much notice as we can to those employees whose roles are impacted. All employees will continue to receive their normal pay and benefits until the transition takes place at the end of October. We are encouraging impacted employees to apply for open positions in our workforce across the country as the business continues to grow."
The planned layoffs at 1000 Enterprise Way are a sharp contrast from March 2015, when SolarCity announced plans to hire at least 300 additional employees in Roseville to handle the then-booming solar power business, which included installations of solar panels at numerous locales throughout the region.
At that time, SolarCity, which billed itself as the nation's top solar employer and installer, already had about 475 workers at its new Roseville office in the Vineyard Pointe Business Park.
During the recent solar boom in California, SolarCity's companywide employment swelled to more than 15,000 in 2015, but it cut back its workforce by nearly 20 percent last year.
In August 2016, Tesla announced that it would acquire SolarCity in a stock merger valued at more than $2.5 billion. Since the deal was approved in November, multiple members of the SolarCity executive team have left the company.
Wall Street analysts have cited Tesla's need to stabilize its cash position as one of the primary reasons for the job cutbacks at Solar City.
Both Tesla and SolarCity have operated under the leadership of Elon Musk, the internationally known executive and proponent of electric/solar power.

Cortinarius pratensis
There are just fourteen records for Cortinarius pratensis currently listed on the FRDBI database [February, 2018]. The above specimens were located in a West Sussex sand dune system during a detailed search of the area in December 2017. My thanks to Nick Aplin of the Sussex Fungus Group for confirming their identification. It's a fairly nondescript brown toadstool but certainly one to look out for if you enjoy little brown jobs …

The 92nd Street Y is a world-renowned cultural institution famous for its performing arts programs, art and education programs, health and fitness facilities and its other civic, artistic and religious programming.
As part of the Y's summer camp program, new facilities were needed at the camp site in Rockland County, New York. 4,000 square feet of instructional space was added for ceramics, painting and nature/environmental education. The facilities are intended for children, including children with special needs, during the summer. In fall, winter and spring the Y's older population uses the facilities for their seniors programs.
Located at the edge of a wooded portion of the site, three new buildings comprise the new arts village. Taking cues from the existing simple shed shelters at the campgrounds, the new buildings extend the sheds with shapely dormers that enliven the form and admit filtered daylight. Post-and-beam construction and exposed wood interiors lend the buildings a rustic feel. The buildings have a long-lasting standing-seam metal roof, energy-efficient natural ventilation, and fire detection and security systems to help protect the premises during shut-down periods.
Buildings are situated close amongst the existing trees and the buildings stand above the ground on raised piers, making minimal impact on the site. Gentle grading changes and landscaped paths provide wheelchair accessibility to each building. Recycled stones found on the site are used to make stone walls that define the perimeter of the arts village and offer outdoor seating facing the nearby ball field and pedestrian pathways.

A local department store, Costington's, announces the formation of a new August holiday intended (as Lisa points out) to boost sales: Love Day. The Simpsons celebrate it, but the vast amount of packaging it produces causes the garbage to build up. When Homer eventually takes it out, he is infuriated with the garbage men as they drive away without collecting the Simpson family's trash. Angered by their ignorance, Homer insults the men by calling them "trash-eating stinkbags", but this only angers them into a fight with Homer, and as a result, the family's garbage service is cut off, leading to the Simpsons' garbage piling up on their front lawn. Homer and Bart think it is easy to throw trash out the window, and as the mess continues to grow, Marge tells Homer to apologize for the remark, but he insists on doing things his way.
Homer awakens one morning to find that the pile of trash at the front of the house has been removed. He proudly boasts that he beat city hall only to learn that Marge had written a letter of apology to the Springfield Sanitation Commissioner, forging Homer's name. Homer then goes to see the Sanitation Commissioner, Ray Patterson, demanding the apology letter to be returned. Despite returning the letter, Patterson tries to be civil with Homer, but Homer insists he will get in a fight with the sanitation department. Eventually Homer decides that he will run for Sanitation Commissioner, remaking it into his image.
Homer begins to promote his campaign. It starts off badly with Homer being beaten up after interrupting U2's PopMart Tour concert, but picks up when Homer, after prompting from Moe, thinks of a slogan for his campaign: "Can't someone else do it?" Homer spreads his message to the town and promises expensive services such as round-the-clock garbage service and having the sanitation workers do all the cleaning, leading to his landslide victory in the election. After being sworn in to the office, he shows what he plans to do by singing a parody of "The Candy Man" entitled "The Garbage Man".
However, fulfilling his promises proves quite costly and after Homer's mass spending spree, Mayor Quimby denounces him for spending the Sanitation Department's yearly budget of $4.6 million in only a month. To solve the budget crisis and pay the workers for their services, Homer gets cities all over the United States to pay him to mash their excess garbage into the abandoned mine shaft on the outskirts of Springfield. The rest of the family warn Homer that this will be endangering the town, but he claims there is nothing to worry about. Eventually, despite the budget crisis having ended and the workers receiving their salaries as promised, the garbage builds up underground and begins to erupt, pouring trash all over the town. At a town hall meeting, Homer gets fired from his post and replaced with Ray Patterson, but Patterson declines reinstatement to the position, expressing his amusement at them "wallowing in the mess [they] made." With no one else to fill for Sanitation Commissioner to clean up the trash, Quimby then takes extreme measures by moving the entire town five miles down the road from its current site, but Lisa points out that even though they are transplanting Springfield, they will just start littering again when they finish moving.

DEARBORN: Imam says Ramadan works to build obedience to God, 'a better life'After a month of fasting from sunrise to sundown every day, there should be a noticeable difference in people, Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi says.
"There is a before and after," Elahi says of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which is about half complete this week.
Elahi, leader of the Islamic House of Wisdom on Ann Arbor Trail in Dearborn Heights, says Ramadan provides an annual opportunity for Muslims to become more obedient to God.
From sunrise to sunset, Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, smoking or engaging in sexual relations. Many attend nightly prayer services at area mosques and then break the fast with a large meal.
Many Muslims attend the meal, called Iftar, at a mosque. Others attend large buffets at area restaurants. Still others prefer to take their meals at home with their families, Elahi says.
Ramadan is a celebration of the revelation of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad. The Quran is the Muslim holy book. Ramadan culminates in a festival called Eid Al-Fitr.
"Ramadan makes us more loving, more peaceful, more humble, " Elahi says. "We're building a better life for ourselves and our society."
Elahi encourages Muslims to think about what it means to go without food and beverages — even water.
"We don't want to engage in fasting as a ritual," he says. "All that's doing is making people hungry and thirsty. We fast to dominate over our desires."
Another benefit of fasting is that it allows Muslims to sympathize with those who don't have enough to eat, Elahi says, adding that he hopes it motivates them to increase their charitable acts.
Children, pregnant women and those who are ill or traveling are exempt from fasting.
The Islamic House of Wisdom is offering an interfaith prayer service at 8 p.m. today. Elahi says he expects members of many area churches to attend.

(Filed Under wholesale Lingerie News). Badines is a new French brand that will be exhibiting at the New York Curvexpo show later this month.
"The company was founded in February, 2015 by three associates," explained the company's Athéna Montuoro in response to questions from BODY. "Two passionate and experienced entrepreneurs believed in the project and decided to invest in Badines. Thanks to these investors, Badines was able to launch its first signature collection in November, 2015."
"As of right now, I am only distributed in France via my own network," she continued. "Being that the brand is very young and was only launched two months ago, we have not been able to develop international sales yet, although this is undoubtedly one of our objectives for the upcoming months. However, this entails that retailers in the USA will benefit from an exclusivity. They will be able to propose a unique French brand with a strong identity, which will bring a fresh spirit to the market."
While the company began in France by selling direct to consumers off of its own website, "We decided to adopt a different strategy abroad than the one we are currently carrying out in our home market in France. In the United States, we have chosen to target retailers." Thus, the aim here is "to be sold in department stores as well as specialty stores." To this end, "we are thinking of associating ourselves with sales representatives in the following months, in order to better integrate the American market."
Montuoro has been handling sales to date, but for distribution in this country, "we are counting on the Curvexpo show to establish such relationships."
On the company's website, eight styles of panties are offered, ranging in retail price from 20.83 euros (about $22.78) up to 40.83 (about $44.64). There are half a dozen bras, ranging in price from 37.50 euros ($41) to 54.17 euros ($59.23), a bodysuit and a babydoll, each for 62.50 euros ($68.34) and the most expensive item, a babydoll at 75 euros ($82.01).
Asked to describe the appeal to U.S. retailers, the founder offered, "Badines is a young French Brand, enhancing feminine elegance and playing with seduction. Elegant, sexy and soft at the same time, Badines lingerie can be worn on a daily basis. The fabric has been chosen carefully: lace from Calais, Swiss embroideries and Italian delicate materials. It has been designed to combine modern comfort and sensuality of fine lingerie. Our signature is the front opening for the majority of the bras."
"Badines," she continued, "is a young brand but determined to show our professionalism and interest in the U.S. market. We are available, eager to grow and we are very competitive regarding the quality of our products. Moreover, we carry with us a whole and strong brand identity about French seduction, and elegance."

Editor's Note: The Albumism staff has selected what we believe to be the 100 Most Dynamic Debut Albums Ever Made, representing a varied cross-section of genres, styles and time periods. Click "Next Album" below to explore each album or view the full album index here.
PIXIES | Surfer Rosa
4AD (1988) | Amazon | iTunes | Listen Below
Selected by Brian Grosz
It's a bold move to release your debut album with a half-naked woman on the cover, but I knew I had to have the album, because they were the most magnificent breasts I had/have ever seen. I still have a poster of that album cover hanging in my living room.
You can hear the walls of the recording room with every snare hit. Frank Black screams like an abuela with night terrors while Kim Deal manages to harmonize beautifully with him. Joey Santiago finds guitar lines that are both horrifically angular and magnificently simplistic while David Lovering whacks away with the brilliant simplicity of a Ringo.
Hell, my high school punk band wrote a song about Fabio that was a direct nod to "Tony's Theme" and later in life, I covered "Cactus" as a solo artist. It's an album of intense depth conveyed through filthy understatement.
There's a reason why "Where is My Mind?" closes out the film Fight Club. As we watch the world crumble, it's important to push air, make sound, and question our sanity.

Italy recalls envoy to Egypt over torture-killing of student
- Image 1 of 3

- Image 3 of 3
Keeping up its press for the "truth" in the torture and slaying of an Italian graduate student in Cairo, Italy on Friday announced it was recalling its ambassador from the Egyptian capital for urgent consultations.
Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni was recalling Ambassador Maurizio Massari for "an urgent evaluation of more opportune initiatives to relaunch the commitment aimed at determining the truth about the barbarous murder of Giulio Regeni," a ministry statement said.
The 28-year-old student, who was researching Egyptian labor movements, disappeared on Jan. 25, the fifth anniversary on the Egyptian uprising, when police and other Egyptian security personnel were out in force in Cairo to discourage protests. His body was found near a Cairo highway on Feb. 3. Italian officials said an Italian autopsy found signs of "protracted" torture over several days, and that Regeni appears to have died on Feb. 1 or 2.
Italy's foreign ministry said the decision to step up diplomatic pressure by recalling the ambassador was taken after meetings Thursday and Friday in Rome between visiting Egyptian investigators and Italian prosecutors and police.
Although the ministry statement wasn't more specific, the recall was widely seen in Italy as a sign that the meetings failed to satisfy Italian authorities. Rome-based prosecutors have insisted that Egypt turn over records of Regeni's cell phone use from the time of disappearance and other information, including surveillance camera video from the near the metro station where he was last seen.
The ministry didn't suggest what other initiatives the Italian government might take against Egypt, which is a big trading partner. Italian energy company ENI has decades-long extensive dealings with Egypt.
Last week, Regeni's anguished parents said Italy should declare Egypt "unsafe" for Italians to visit, saying their son was only one of many torture victims in the north African country.

Mae loves to crawl around outside - although often gets timid in the grass and prefers to stay in one place unless she is chasing her brother. She does very well to leave a hat on if one is presented to shade her.
|Like her hat? B from The Ravenna Girls made it for her!
Sunlight also is great for Mae... doesn't she look pretty? ;) She loves to play in the sunshine and when it peeks in the house through the windows, she likes to chase it and tries grab it. It's really adorable to watch as she crawls after the sunlight and trying to track it down.
|Probably one of my favorite pictures of her to date!
