I picked up a brochure for Zoo Miami at a Visitor's Center in Key West. I love zoo's, but my husband does not. I knew it would take a little convincing to get him on board with my plan. I have to give their marketing department props, the brochure is awesome. It hit every key point that is relevant to my family. Splash areas, animal rides, animal feedings, and my favorite of all, surrey bikes!!
First order of business was to purchase tickets. My Florida Aquarium membership entitles me to 50% off admission to Zoo Miami, so my entire cost to get in was under $25. Hooray! (If you are a member of any parks, zoos, aquariums, etc. at home, make sure you check their reciprocity list to see if you get discounts at other awesome places)
I knew I wanted to rent a surrey bike as transportation, so that's where I headed. The price was $21 for 2 hours and $11 per hour for each additional hour. Boy am I so happy we did this! This zoo is rather large, so walking would have taken a long time. We were able to cut our meandering time in half by biking everywhere PLUS the kids loved it! And as an extra bonus, Mommy and Daddy got lots of exercise.
We ended up purchasing a $10 summer savings pass for each of our kids that included unlimited rides on the monorail, giraffe feeding, parrot feeding, a carousel ride and a camel ride. Our first stop was to feed the parrots. This was a little strange considering there were no parrots, only parakeets and cockatiels. It was a great time, none the less! Both kids had a little cup of bird seeds which they held up to get the birds to land on them. They seemed to have liked my husbands feet the best until they discovered that my shoes were tasty. We spent quite a bit of time in there.
Back on the bike we explored Australia and Asia until we were dying of thirst (and the heat). We stopped at Oasis Cafe for lunch to fuel up on Gatorade and chicken tenders. Lunch was delicious and very reasonably priced. The cafe was next to the sprayground and it was high noon. Splash time! The kids had a great time getting wet and cooling off. The area was large and had tons of sprayers. Enough to not feel crowded.
And we're back on the bike and headed for the giraffe's. My son was so excited to feed these beauties! My daughter got one good feed in and then realized she was over it.
My next hunt was for the camel rides. I wasn't sure how my kids would feel about this, but I was so happy that they both got on with me and we did our little figure 8 and posed for pictures. Sweet!
I will definitely go back again! Thanks Zoo Miami!

I have created new document CHANGELOG.md here https://community.windytv.com/topic/3657/changelog-md
If you are regular user you will see changes we have made, so you can complain about the changes and broken things.
I can't see changelog with your link (redirect me to Windy.com website).
This is quite an old post, we have already migrated from "Windytv" to "Windy" so the correct link is https://community.windy.com/topic/3657/changelog-md. Not sure if you can see content there (or have access), it seems @ivo abandoned the public changelog some time ago (I can see its previous content and it is definitely out of date of what version we have now). Anyway, "windytv.com" redirects to "windy.com" now, but it definitely should work in a way that "community.windytv.com" redirects to "community.windy.com" and not the main page. Thanks for mentioning this, I will make sure this issue gets its attention.

@fox91 Nobody visited Changelog so I have deleted it from Community

Thank you so much for visiting the Patio London website. We hope that you have taken the time to browse through our website and seen for yourself the mouthwatering food that we offer.
Patio London started as a small restaurant in a London suburb. It is very quaint that you will not even realize that it serves the best cuisine in the whole of London because of how small it is. But once you walk in and smell the amazing aromas and see how packed it is, you will truly realize what makes it different from all the other restaurants in London.
Patio London was started by a Polish couple Antoni and Lena. The two met in London as culinary students. They studied and trained together and later on fell in love. However, the couple did not really start their culinary journey in London. After school, both of them traveled the world. In fact, they both got jobs in the Middle East where they honed their culinary crafts. However, their love for Polish food really stayed with them that whenever they had the time, they really try their best to develop updated recipes from traditional Polish dishes.
When they went back to London after several years of working abroad, they opened the Patio London. The couple simply wanted British people to experience the warmth and comfort that Polish food provides. Because of the amazing Polish dishes that the couple serve, in time, Patio London become quite well known and amassed its following.
Today, Patio London is seen as some sort of institution when it comes to Polish cooking. A visit to London is never deemed complete without eating at this small restaurant. Just remember to always book a table when you want to visit so that you won't have to wait outside the restaurant. We always have long lines.

Some years back, March 2002 to be specific, I wrote about Magic Hat Brewing under the title "New England Beer Tour". One of my favorites was Magic Hat #9 a fruity beer without the fruit. According to Mark it sounds like they are still brewing it.
He states: "If you remember back to the time when we went to the bear festival in Brooklyn, you may remember a micro-brew there by the name of Magic Hat. I want to tell you about their #9 Not-So-Pale Ale.
It has a very smooth, yet hoppy flavor. A little strong for those who like lighter beers, like my wife. But it has a hint of apricot, for a somewhat sweet aftertaste. While it may not be in my top five, it is not a beer to be poured down the drain. It does very well after a ham sandwich with mustard."
My favorite is Humble Patience, an Irish Red with a nitro tap. It has the whole slow bubbles thing hence the name.
(At the spring 2010 brew ha ha in Grand Rapids I was told that Magic Hate Brewing no longer makes humble patience. From what I can gather on the web this has been the case since 2005. I guess I am a little behind on the times)

cathedral, in Christian churches that have an episcopal form of church government, the church in which a residential bishop has his official seat or throne, the cathedra. Cathedral churches are of different degrees of dignity. There are cathedral churches of simple diocesan bishops, of archbishops or metropolitans, of primates, patriarchs, and, in the Roman Catholic Church, of the pope. A cathedral church is not necessarily large and magnificent, although most cathedrals have become so. Since the territorial organization of the early church followed that of the Roman Empire, cathedrals from the first were established wherever possible in towns, not in villages. In the early European Middle Ages, the town in which a cathedral church was situated became known as the cathedral city.
In the Roman Catholic church, canon law makes no architectural conditions for a cathedral. The only canonical requirement is that a cathedral should be consecrated and adequately endowed. The pope has the right to designate a cathedral, although the choice of the bishop of the diocese or his decision to build a cathedral is normally approved by the pope. The bishop must be present in his cathedral on certain holy days, and he must normally perform ordinations there.
In the Eastern Orthodox church the cathedral is the main church in a city where the bishop resides and where he celebrates the liturgy on festival occasions. In Russia, where the dioceses have always been few and have covered a vast area, the main church in any large town became known as a cathedral (sobor), even though no bishop was in residence there. The principal church of a big monastery also assumed the same name.
After the 16th-century Protestant Reformation, cathedrals where bishops were rejected became simple churches. In Sweden the cathedral continued to be the seat of the Lutheran bishop. In the Church of England, where the order of bishops was retained, the cathedrals remained as the seat of the bishop.

Sonny Corleone's Tollbooth Lincoln
James Caan as Santino "Sonny" Corleone, hot-headed Mafia boss (well… acting boss)
Long Island, NY, Fall 1948
Film: The Godfather
Release Date: March 15, 1972
Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Costume Designer: Anna Hill Johnstone
WARNING! Spoilers ahead… (and to the right!)
Yesterday, we examined an Aston Martin that was totally demolished by its use in the film. Here, we're seeing another car put out of commission. Unfortunately, its owner meets the same fate.
I would say 95% of the population is familiar with 1972's The Godfather. Thus, 95% of the population pulls up to tollbooths with some trepidation. Sure, you're probably not a mob boss, but watching James Caan's murder in the film is enough to make you fear tollbooths whether there's a hit out on you or not.
Appropriately for Car Week, Caan's "Sonny" drives a stunning black '41 Lincoln Continental coupe… an iconic car for an iconic scene. He looks very sharp too, just as fashionable for the mid-1940s as his car, wearing a glen plaid suit with a blue silky shirt open at the neck.
Warning, folks! This one is a bit graphic.
What'd He Wear?
Sonny is hanging out at home with the Corleone women and countless bodyguards when he gets that fateful call from his sister. He is wearing the trousers of a lightweight black-and-white glen plaid suit that we haven't seen previously in the film. After he receives his call to arms, he dons the suit's matching double-breasted jacket and marches off to his Lincoln and his fate.
The double-breasted suit jacket is very reflective of "Golden Age of Menswear" fashions from the '40s and '50s with its stylishly wide peak lapels, close fit around the torso, and padded shoulders that look even more buttressed on Caan's athletic shoulders. The jacket has a a six-button, two-to-close front, but Sonny wears only the center row button fastened. Three buttons at the end of each sleeve match the gray-toned horn buttons on the jacket's front.
Sonny's tight suit looks even more padded during the shooting due to the pyrotechnic blood squibs and the elbow padding which breaks Caan's fall. Additional details include a welted breast pocket and jetted hip pockets.
The suit trousers are also not seen often, but they have a very high rise above Caan's waistline, fastening with a single button on a straight fly. Like his other suit trousers, they have a flat front with side pockets, jetted rear pockets, and belt loops. The belt loops, however, are ignored in favor of a pair of very dark blue suspenders (or braces).
The suspenders are worn over Sonny's light blue satin-striped shirt. This is the same shirt Sonny wears in the earlier scene when he visits Connie and beats up Carlo on the street. This time, he pairs the shirt with a glen plaid suit, but for the earlier appearance, the shirt was worn with the waistcoat and trousers of a lighter gray suit with a subtle windowpane check (see this post).
The shirt has a large point collar and double (French) cuffs, fastened with a set of round gold links, as well as open gauntlets on the sleeves. The shirt has mother-of-pearl buttons up the front placket, and Sonny casually wears the shirt with the top two buttons undone. His breast pocket is adorned with the dark blue monogram "SC". I don't have to tell you what that stands for…
Sonny wears a pair of black calf leather plain-toe derby shoes and black socks.
Being a powerful man with considerable means, Sonny wears a gold wristwatch on his left wrist. It is not a plain watch, as it has a considerable sheen, but not much is seen of it. It has a square-shaped case and a very shiny gold bracelet. Any details about Sonny's watch would be appreciated, at least for completion's sake.
Sonny's other major accessories are much less ambiguous. He clearly wears a gold necklace with a plain Catholic cross, which is de rigueur for movie mobsters. As is his pinky ring, a silver band with a square-cut diamond, worn on the little finger of his right hand.
Finally, Sonny naturally wears his white ribbed undershirt underneath.
The Car
Sonny's car was one of the most envied passenger vehicles of the 1940s, a black 1941 Lincoln Continental. In particular, Sonny's model was a Model 57 coupe, denoted by the small parking lights on top of the front fenders.
Designed by Lincoln's chief stylist Eugene T. ("Bob") Gregorie, the Continental was produced as both a coupe and a convertible from 1940-1948, taking a break for the war years. Eventually, the name was reused in 1956 and the Lincoln Continental was again one of the most popular cars available, reaching new heights with models like the remarkable '65 convertible. As exports began dominating the American market, the Continental fell into a sales slump and, after too many slow-selling years, the final Continental rolled out of the plant in 2002.
While the newer (1956-2002) generation of the Continental was nothing to sneeze at, it is the original generation that achieved legendary status. Many consider multi-cylinder* engines, like the V12 in yesterday's Aston Martin, to be modern developments. However, the Lincoln Continental featured a V12 more than sixty years earlier. And Cadillac had even developed a V16 the decade before that! The glory days of these multi-cylinder engines in U.S. cars is sadly long past; the 1948 Lincolns were the last V-12 engined cars to be produced and sold by a major American auto manufacturer.
* Obviously, by "multi-cylinder" I mean huge engines with 10-16 cylinders. I don't think a single-cylinder engine has been made for anything larger than a motorcycle. Or a moped.
The first Lincoln Continental was developed by Gregorie on a design commissioned by Edsel Ford for his personal vehicle. Gregorie designed the car in one hour based on Lincoln-Zephyr blueprints, and the elegant convertible prototype was ready in time for Edsel's Florida vacation in March 1939. The car carried all of the hallmarks of the production Continental, with a long hood over the V12, long front fenders, and the short trunk with the externally-mounted and covered spare tire. The removed running boards marked a forward, almost futuristic direction in automobile design, and the Continental looked sleek, long, and low compared to other contemporary American cars. Being rich, Edsel Ford had many friends who were also rich. These rich friends were fascinated by Gregorie's car, so Edsel quickly telegrammed home that he could sell a thousand of them. Lincoln immediately got to work on production of the Continentals, building two dozen by hand for 1939 and 404 for 1940.
Part of the draw of the Continental was the power under the hood. The Lincoln-Zephyr V12 was developed around 1932, similar in design to Ford's newly-introduced flathead V8 that was so notoriously beloved by Clyde Barrow. The new Lincoln-Zephyr V12 replaced Lincoln's existing L-head V12 engines and was the primary Lincoln engine through 1948, utilizing a narrower 75° between cylinder heads than the 90° V8. The engine used aluminum-alloy heads, cast-steel pistons, two water pumps, and a unique distributor with a dual-coil assembly; one coil for each cylinder bank. Power was initially rated at 110 hp with the 267 cu. in (4.4 L) engine, but the size of the engine was enlarged in 1940 to 292 cu in. (4.8 L), producing a sturdy 120 horsepower.
For 1941, production was ramped up to 1,251. Most of the Continentals made were hardtop club coupes, like Sonny's, but 400 Cabriolet convertibles were produced, priced at $2,865. The price for a hardtop coupe would have been somewhere around $2,750. Other changes for 1941 included new push-button door releases and the addition of a three-speed automatic Borg-Warner overdrive transmission unit. At the time, most cars still were equipped with manual transmissions, so the Borg-Warner was quite innovative.
Lincoln got excited for 1942, perhaps a little too excited, giving the car a "boxier" design in line with current design trends. However, all civilian automobile production was suspended after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and the Lincoln Continental ceased to offer new models until model years 1946 to 1948. By the time production resumed after the war, the Continental received updated trim and a new grill to keep the design fresh, as well as walnut interior trim. The 292 cu. in. engine was back, after a brief spell of attempting a 306 cu. in. (5.0 L) engine that produced 130 horsepower. However, the bored-out engine's cylinder walls were too thin, often disappearing altogether during the block casting process at the factory. Thus, the venerable 292 cu. in. V12 remained in the Continental until the end of its run.
The Continental was discontinued after 1948, but it lived on as a legend even after the new generation of Continentals began populating American roads. The Classic Car Club of America recognized the original Continental as a "Full Classic"™.

The original Lincoln Continental combined performance and quality with exclusivity and style, making it the perfect choice for a powerful and fashionable mobster like Sonny Corleone. One of Sonny's Continentals – the one of the three not damaged by bullet squibs – was actually recently auctioned off by Bonhams in Scottsdale. The price? $69,000.
Luckily, the auction provides us will plenty of documentation about the car. The auctioned Continental had chassis #16H57278, engine #H114613, and body #16H57278. The car belonged to Eugene Beardslee, who was contacted by Chuck Hannah, the man in charge of providing The Godfather's production company with historically accurate cars. Beardslee's car was repainted black, and Caan sat behind the wheel when he drove out of the Corleone compound. After Caan arrived at the tollbooth in Beardslee's car, two identical Continentals were swapped in; one was fitted with pyrotechnic squibs to simulate the impact of bullets while the other was actually shot up with .45-caliber rounds by the effects crew.
How to Get the Look
Sonny wears a very fashionable suit for late summer that he just has to go and ruin:
- Black-and-white lightweight wool glen plaid suit:
- Double-breasted 6×2-button jacket with wide peak lapels, welted breast pocket, jetted hip pockets, 3-button cuffs, and ventless back
- Flat front high-rise trousers with belt loops, side pockets, jetted back pockets, and plain-hemmed bottoms
- Light blue satin-striped shirt with large point collar, front placket, double/French cuffs, and monogrammed breast pocket
- Large flat gold round cuff links
- Dark blue suspenders with silver strap adjusters
- Black leather plain-toe derby shoes
- Black socks
- White ribbed sleeveless undershirt
- Gold wristwatch with a square case
- Silver pinky ring with a square-cut diamond
- Gold necklace with a large plain cross pendant
Do Yourself a Favor and…
Check out the series and, while you're at it, pick up Sonny's Continental for $69,000.
The Quote
Many have attributed the date of Sonny's death to Wednesday, October 3, 1951 due to the radio broadcast he is listening to. Indeed, Sonny is clearly listening to WMCA broadcaster Russ Hodges calling the Dodgers-Giants playoff game played that day, a half-inning before Giants outfielder Bobby Thomson hit the infamous "shot heard 'round the world" that helped win the National League pennant for the Giants. However, context clues show that Sonny died no later than 1948 and very possibly the year before. This means that Sonny is listening to a radio broadcast of a game three or four years later. While some can possibly call this an atmospheric anomaly, it is simply the case of filmmakers choosing an era-appropriate baseball game for a background radio. None of the filmmakers could have imagined that:
a) The Godfather would become such a phenomenon
b) Anyone would care what Sonny was listening to
c) Stop-and-play technology would exist for audiences to actually pay attention to something so inconsequential.
As it stands, many devotees of The Godfather have ignored the date of the broadcast when trying to sort through some of the sloppy chronology to pinpoint just when Sonny met his end, using hints in both Mario Puzo's book and the film. Most "Corleone scholars" place the date in summer, based on weather and the fact that it's baseball season, either in 1946, 1947, or 1948. Since Michael has been in Sicily for more than a year, and it is at least a few more months until he returns, I like early September 1948 as the most likely date for Sonny's death. Of course, none of this matters in the end and we'll all be specks of dust someday.
Since The Godfather is a Christmas movie (sorta), here's your reminder that there is one week until Christmas Eve! Ho, ho, ho.

Iceland is the perfect country to take a road trip through. There are plenty of camping sites and hidden gems that require you to travel off the beaten path. Motorhomes and campervans are the most popular options for traveling through Iceland's incredible backcountry. You could rent a car and stay in a hotel along the way, but where is the fun in that? Here are the top campervan and motorhome rental sites for camping in Iceland.
Motorhome or Campervan: Which Do I Choose?
Campervans and motorhomes are similar, and yet they are entirely different. Both allow you to eat and sleep inside of them (some more comfortably than others) so that you don't have to brave the elements. Both are vehicles that are sturdy and meant to handle whatever nature throws at you. And both are attractive options for people of all walks of life. But, what is the difference between them? Put most simply: campervans are geared towards younger people or smaller groups, while motorhomes are aimed towards families or big groups of people.
Both motorhomes and campervans have positives and negatives, but it is up to you to choose which one will work best for you. Campervans are generally more cost efficient, have offload capabilities, and they come with automatic transmission options. However, they are much smaller, they don't have actual beds, and they don't offer as many amenities compared to motorhomes. Motorhomes are larger, much more comfortable, and they can fit a large group of people. But, they are much more expensive, cannot go off-roading, and they are limited to a manual transmission.
Now that you have a better idea of the differences between motorhomes and campervans, let's take a look at the best ways to rent the perfect vehicle for your next trip!
Campervan Iceland
Campervan Iceland is a provider of both campervans and motorhomes. They operate out of Reykjavik, but you can pick up the vans or motorhomes right from the airport in Keflavík. They offer six different campervan options and six motorhome options. They are also one of the few companies to provide the VW California 4×4.
The Volkswagen California is an homage to VW's original 60s camper van. The engineers at VW worked tirelessly to make sure the van would be intuitive and easy to use for camping. This is different than the rest of the camper vans offered by Icelandic camper van providers. The majority of camper vans are retrofitted from their original purpose to allow occupants to eat, sleep, and ostensibly camp out of them. The VW was *designed* for camping, and as such is really comfortable and enjoyable to use.
Aside from offering the VW California, Campervan Iceland has world class customer service. They are a great option if you want the security of knowing that your rental company is with you for the entirety of your trip.
Motorhome Iceland
Motorhome Iceland has a wide range of both campervan and motorhome options. Both their campervan and motorhome options are robust, which is rare for a rental company. Most of the time companies offer either excellent campervan options and one or two motorhome options, or vice versa. Motorhome Iceland is sure to have something that will be perfect for your next Icelandic adventure.
They may not be the cheapest option, but they are definitely one of the best. Some of their included extras are bedding, cooking equipment, 24/7 roadside assistance, and unlimited driving mileage. If you are looking for either an excellent quality campervan or motorhome, look no further than Motorhome Iceland.
Kúkú campervans are geared towards young people. They have one of the largest fleets of camper vans in Iceland, and they have been around since 2011. Kúkú stands apart from their competitors in both price and in the wide variety of campervan options they have. Kúkú's fleet has 11 different types of camper vans, some of which are incredibly rugged and were designed to go offroading. Kúkú's social media presence is strong, and people rave about them. If you are in the market for a cost-efficient campervan, then this is a great option.
Happy Campers
Happy Campers, like Kúkú, is another company that specializes in campervans exclusively. They have been around for a while, and they also operate in South Africa. One of the ways in which they differ from Kúkú is that they have interior dining areas built into the vans, so you can eat inside if the weather is terrible. This will come in handy during any trip to Iceland. Also, they have world-class heating systems built into them.
Happy Campers ensure that no matter what the weather conditions, you will have a great experience camping in Iceland. My favorite feature they offer is online tracking for your trip. If you go to their website and put in your reservation number, Google maps will pull up a history of everywhere you have been on your journey. It's an entertaining way to show your friends and family where you have been on your Icelandic adventure.
2018 Top Campervan and Motorhome Rental Companies
In summary, all of these providers offer similar services but can be very different. They are all great options, but it is up to you to decide which one will be right for you. I would choose Campervan Iceland because I have always wanted to rent a VW California. But, you need to find an option that suits your situation. I am a young person, and I don't need a whole lot of space. Campervan Iceland, Kúkú, and Happy Campers are all great options.
However, if you have a family, a big group of friends, or if you want to treat yourself to a luxury experience then maybe a motorhome is more your style. Motorhome Iceland is the way to go if you want this type of experience. Whatever the case may be, do your research, see what options are best for you, and book as soon as possible. We are in the high season, and rentals are disappearing very fast. Most importantly, have fun on your Icelandic adventure. Always remember: the vehicle you choose is just a tool to allow you to have a good time. It doesn't make the trip special, your experiences do.

Instagram for Android will soon support multiple accounts, according to a newly discovered beta test version of the popular photo sharing app. The feature shows up in version 7.12.0 of Instagram's Android release which is available via an APK or Instagram's official Google Play Store beta tester program.
Normally, an Instagram user wanting to switch between accounts would have to log out and back in each of their accounts individually. But if you scroll through Instagram for Android 7.12.0's settings you'll find "Add Account," right under "Clear Search History."
With the multiple accounts feature, Android users can now seamlessly move between their Instagram accounts without having to ever log out. Switching between multiple accounts is particularly useful to social media managers or people who run their own business, organization or blog.
Apparently, the ability to add multiple accounts on Android has been "live for a while for some people" and appears to come from a cloud distribution, a tipster told Android Police.
The feature has yet to be seen on the iOS release, but it's likely the multiple accounts tool will roll over into the iPhone version as well.
Watch a video of the multi-account feature below.

A novel approach to education with no grades and no grade levels.
The RISC Approach to Schooling is a revolutionary approach to education that represents a dramatic shift in the educational process. The RISC approach is the first comprehensive school reform framework set up as a performance-based system rather than a time-based system. Already being implemented by more than a dozen schools and districts in the United States, RISC has caught the attention of educators in countries around the world who see it as a pathway for delivering on the promise of education for every student.
Educators in many countries are discussing how to make school more engaging for the students, and how to avoid dropouts. In the OECD report " Improving Lower Secondary Schools in Norway" 2011, they state the following:
- School practices often fail to engage all students. On average in OECD countries, one in four students is disengaged with school at age 15. There seems to be a gap between what is taught and the practices most likely to engage students. In addition, this could be a result of students not having consolidated a set of basic skills during primary education.
The Norwegian Ministry of Education recently published Report nr. 22 called "Motivation, mastery and possibilities", aimed at improving lower secondary schools in Norway.
A CNN news crew spent the day at Hodgkins Elementary in April 2011 to profile the Standards-based System and listen to parents, students, teachers and administrators.Seems to me that this approach is worth looking into. It is known as standards based learning, modeled on the belief every child learns in their own way. Students are grouped based on what they know, not on how old they are, and the advance in the system only when they know the material. A way to ensure that all students acquire the set of basic skills they need during primary education.
CNN's Deb Feyerick reports.

- 4 slices bacon
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon water
- cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 white onion, diced

Looking for a real treat this xmas?
Get on over to Lager House this Saturday night for
Jeremy and The Harlequins are a trip through the early days of American rock 'n roll.
A perfect kick off to your lead up to NYE 2014!
In this day and age of over produced, digitized music, Jeremy and The Harlequins are a breath of fresh air. Their sound is stripped down and the lyrics are playful and honest. Nostalgic, and at some times haunting, Jeremy and The Harlequins are a trip through the early days of American rock 'n roll.
The band came together serendipitously after singer, Jeremy Fury, and guitarist, Craig Bonich's, latest New York City based line-up, previously named Romans, disbanded in April of 2013. As fate would have it, Jeremy's brother, drummer Stephan Fury, returned from Paris, France to spend time with his family in their hometown of Toledo, Ohio. While in Ohio, Jeremy and Stephan began collaborating on a compilation of songs that Jeremy had written over the past few years.
After opening the vault of material, the Fury Brothers enlisted the bass talents of musician and friend, Nathan Cogan. Days later, guitarists Craig Bonich and Patrick Meyer drove from New York City to Toledo to assist in the creation of the new music. Craig had miraculously met Patrick only one day prior to leaving for Ohio and spent the entire drive indoctrinating Patrick into the sound and vision Craig and Jeremy dreamed of. Upon their arrival into America's heartland only a few days prior to July 4th, the new line-up celebrated America's independence with an impromptu first show at a local bar in Maumee, Ohio having never played together before.
The five spent less than week in a whirlwind of rehearsals. The result was ten undeniably passionate rock 'n roll songs. Recorded in two days just outside of Detroit, at Tempermill Studios (The White Stripes, Loretta Lynn) the music is live and present; captured true-to-form by the finest analog equipment. Upon completion of the recording, the group procured the talents of producer and guitarist extraordinaire, Matt Verta Ray (Heavy Trash, Speedball Baby), for the ever-important mix.
The record rings with urgency, containing an energetic and youthful feeling bands today desperately seek, but can rarely attain due to modern recording techniques. Jeremy's vocals, recorded live in just a few short hours, punctuate the passion and gusto that is the soul of the group. These raw vocals are supported by bare guitars that rock unadultered and get straight to the point, while the melodic and present bass lines and simplistic drums, free from superfluous fills, resonate deep inside you. References to musical greats such as Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, and Buddy Holly are sprinkled throughout, yet Jeremy and The Harlequins have managed to find their own, unique voice.

Committing vile acts with knives and tin openers, the Blackout Ripper stalked the darkened streets and alleys of Soho, leaving behind a trail of human wreckage over a bloody five-day killing spree. John Reginald Christie, the infamous killer of Rillington Place, used his position as a volunteer policeman to prey on victims and establish his gruesome house of corpses. Air-raid warden Harry Dobkin tried to use the Blitz to conceal his wife's murder. These are but a few of the killers who took advantage of the wartime chaos.
In addition to violent crime, the blackout and deprivations of wartime London gave rise to sinister industries that would have been hard-pressed to flourish under normal conditions, but "normal" proved to be an elastic concept for a city on the frontline. The capital was a criminal's paradise. For hustlers, thieves, black marketers, pimps, and other shady characters of questionable disposition, the blackout and destruction wrought from above meant good business. Looters stalked the streets and picked through the ruins of shattered homes for anything of value. They often plied their trade during air raids, operating with little fear of capture. Between the first week of September and the end of November 1940, the police received nearly 400 reports of looting.
London's Public Morality Council, a group of concerned citizens who feared the war's corrupting influence on the English sense of decorum, had much to worry about. Prostitution was a primary concern, with the blackout enabling a bustling sex trade. The matter, however, remained beyond the council's control. A woman in London could not legally solicit a man for sex, but she could work as a prostitute. The muddled law did nothing to deter the profession, which became a major blackout business with a large military clientele.
Indeed, the police had their work cut out for them. Bombs and the dangers of patrolling London in the dark cost the police 100 men during the war. Petrol rationing and mandatory radio silence also put a strain on investigations, but whether walking the beat or arriving at a blood-splattered crime scene with Murder Bag in hand, the constables and detectives of London's Metropolitan Police force rose to the challenge in the face of harsh wartime conditions. From gangland violence to looting, murder and missing-persons cases, they tackled the width and breadth of criminal enterprises. Their skill and dedication, under the most adverse conditions, ensured that the likes of Christie, the Blackout Ripper, John Haigh—the notorious Acid Bath Killer—and others ended their vile careers at the end of a rope.

"It's curious how a development acquires a new name in its transformation from a manufactory to a residential address. For the handsome block-long building between Wareham and Malden streets on Albany Street, Cresset Development has focused on a time when the South End was emerging, just as it is seeing a rejuvenation today by new residential and commercial development, further enhanced by a vibrant arts community.
By the mid-19th century, land in the South End had been reclaimed east of Harrison Avenue from the tidewaters, and railroads crisscrossed the city. Row houses and factories began dotting the new streets. And so the building's name is the 1850, described in its marketing material as "history with an attitude."
The five-story brick building had housed the Allied Bolt & Screw Company for more than 40 years until it relocated to Canton six years ago, and from the late 1880s to 1926, the Everett Piano Company produced fine musical instruments on this site. John Phillips Souza was among its clients. In between, it was a warehouse."

Rumors have been swirling for awhile, but according to Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs will be setting up a cryptocurrency trading desk by the end of June 2018. Bloomberg cites unnamed sources from inside the firm. At present, the investment bank is trying to determine how it will maintain custody of the digital assets.
"The move positions Goldman Sachs to become the first large Wall Street firm to make markets in cryptocurrencies."
Conservative but open-minded
Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein has previously maintained a cautious but open-minded approach to digital currencies. Blankfein recently said:
"[Bitcoin] is not for me. But there is a lot of things that there weren't for me in the past that have worked out very well. If it was 20 years forward and it worked out, I could tell you why it worked out. But based on everything that I know, I am not guessing that it will work out."
The firm made headlines earlier this month by saying they will clear Bitcoin futures contracts for their clients, which is an important step for such a usually conservative firm. However, Goldman did insist that at least some of its clients maintain an account with enough funds to cover the full value of the Bitcoin futures they traded. Some customers left the firm as a result.
Goldman Sach's imprimatur
The investment bank is seen as one of the most elite on Wall Street. The firms executives often retire to take powerful positions within the US government. Current treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin and former secretary Hank Paulson both had high positions at Goldman. With the staid investment bank giving their imprimatur to Bitcoin and other digital currencies, it's almost certain that other Wall Street institutions will follow. As did the opening of futures trading on CME and CBOE, this move further legitimizes the cryptocurrency asset class.

As has been reported extensively in the press, the Hope Day Centre at Oasis House has been given notice by Midland Heart Housing Association, our landlord, working in partnership with Northampton Borough Council, making a homelessness charity and its service users effectively 'homeless' and unsupported.
Hope's board met on Tuesday, 23rd October to discuss this threat to our services. We are engaged in dialogue with those responsible for this decision with a view to helping them understand the disastrous impact this will have to poor, homeless and dispossessed people in our town, the quality of the work that we do, and the sadness this brings to our thousands of supporters, volunteers, staff and friends in our community. Our hope is that the decision can be reversed.
We welcome the huge outpouring of support we have received from friends, not least of all the comments received on an entirely independent petition placed by one of our patrons. For just a snapshot of the humbling comments made, read one of them here: https://goo.gl/ZJY268

Personally, I've never been to Ibiza before – Not for lack of desire, the opportunity has just not presented itself yet. In the meantime, I enjoy the treats my sister brings back for me from her annual trip there with her friends.
Today was particularlly challenging for a Monday, and it's in the 90s and humid – not a good day for a subway ride. By the time I finally got home, all I wanted was a drink! So, dinner tonight consisted of a bowl of yesterday's Summer Pasta (still quite tasty), some Italian prunes, and a little bit of Ibiza over ice with a spash of soda.
Hierbas Ibicencas is a traditional liqueur distilled from local herbs – it's a great digestif and supposedly posesses special healing powers… it's working for me right now, so who knows?! It has a refreshing aniseseed and citrus flavor, only a bit of sweetness, and is definitely a pleasant way to end a day.
Maybe things are looking up… think I'll do a little daydreaming about a trip to an exciting Island off the coast of Spain.

Dr. No is a 1962 film, the very first in the James Bond film series. It was directed by Orson Welles, produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Orson Welles, and starred Sean Connery, Douglas Rain, Michael Keaton and Christopher Lee.
For some years, author Ian Fleming had attempted to get film producers to make his books into films; all, however, had balked over the lurid material found in Fleming's novels.
Finally, in 1961, whilst Fleming was vacationing on his Croatian estate, Zlatan'Oko, film director Orson Welles stumbled upon the author after attempting to flee from the police due to his illegal use of public property for his production of Franz Kafka's The Trial. Fleming, intrigued by Welles' apparent lawlessness, offered him a deal to film one of his books. After a night's skimming through of the 10 then-released books, Welles agreed to film the sixth book, Dr. No. The director then called up old chum Albert R. Broccoli and offered him a co-producing credit alongside Welles.
With the production team settled, Welles set about to creating a script, and, within six days and after having gone through some 30 bottles of cheap Croatian beer, the screenplay was completed.
Now, for the tricky part: Casting. Noted horror film actor Christopher Lee was a shoe-in for the title role of Dr. No, but finding the villainous doctor's minions was more tricky. After a trans-continental search for the perfect actor to play Professor Dent, Welles happened upon a production of The Merchant of Venice and saw Canadian stage actor Douglas Rain performing Shylock; backstage after the show, the director surprised Rain in his dressing room and offered him the role of Dent then and there.
Finding the perfect gentleman to play James Bond was even trickier: After five hours straight of attempting to convince Cary Grant to participate in the film, Broccoli and Welles were trudging back to their vehicle when their paths were crossed by a balding young gardener with a thick Scottish accent. For no reason at all, Welles offered him a contract, and the gardener agreed, taking on the role the producers had been hoping to fill. The gardener's name was Sean Connery.
Filming began on April 22, 1962 on Fleming's estate with the fistfight between Bond and the SPECTRE driver. As production dragged on, however, Douglas Rain became increasingly anxious at the pace, and requested some time to rethink the role; at this, Fleming, in a fit of outrage, wrote Rain out of the script by killing off the character of Professor Dent (who was originally meant to survive the film and become the lead villain for the planned sequel, The Spy Who Loved Me). Welles managed to coax Rain back for the subsequent film, From Russia with Love, but the damage was done: Fleming's pre-written scripts (aside from Thunderball) were scrapped, and the author's reputation would be forever tarnished by this act of malice.
A bunch of gentlemen are playing poker in the EXCLUSIVE 60's CLUB, when one of them suddenly gets a phone call to an 'urgent meeting'. As he walks out of the club, he meets three blind dudes, who beg for some small change. Being a generous man that he is, he hands them a few cents, and.....nothing happens! As he gets into his car, however, he discovers that the three blind dudes are not blind and shoot him (WITH SUPPRESSED WEAPONS!), and loaded his body into a convenient hearse for obviously a proper burial.
Meanwhile, a radio station manager who's busy spreading pro-Liberal propaganda through his channel, is shot and killed, and his station is burnt to the ground.
Somewhere, just a few miles from the crime scene, a guy named James Bond (character) has just potted a poker game. The hot chick whom he defeated wants to go out on a date with him. However, just as he's about to take her to his bedroom instead, he too receives a phone call to an 'urgent meeting'. He ignores the call and has sex with her anyway.
The next day, he receives the same phone call again with his angry controller M adding that the future of the world depends on the 'urgent meeting'. Once he meets M at the decided location, he's informed about the two mysterious murders, and how they may be connected to each other. When probed further, M reveals that there is a Govt sponsored project to launch a new gaming supercomputer, which would revolutionize the gaming industry and provide millions in dollars in revenue to the Liberal Democrats, who's election campaign itself was largely funded by illicit donations from gaming companies. While the radio station manager was well-known for spreading liberal propaganda, the gentleman's revealed to be Mr Bronxworth, a gaming mogul and a key financier to the project.
The film was a box-office success, earning more than $36,000,000. The film was also successful with the critics. It was the most successful low budget movie of 1962.

white labela.k.a. business in a box
A white label item is a product or service that is packaged plainly, allowing you to repackage it with your own brand in order to re-sell it. Buying wholesale and selling retail is considered the backbone of business. Now the world of white label has moved to the Internet as an opportunity for entrepreneurs.
Here are a few examples of different types of white label businesses that are popular online:
- Web host reselling - you buy the web host space and re-sell it to others as if you are the provider.
- E-books with reseller rights - you buy e-books and re-sell it to others.
- Cafepress.com type sites - you apply your brand to various products and promote them, keeping the mark-up for yourself.
- Getestore.com - you create a store and promote name-brand products, keeping the mark-up for yourself.

Online Lenders, Podcasts
TS Podcast: Deep dive into Amazon's heavy handed lending practices
- Amazon's small business lending has become a serious business.
- With its scale, merchants are beginning to examine the true cost of borrowing.
Joining the podcast today is Tearsheet reporter, Dan Pelberg. Dan covers the lending space and he wrote an article earlier this week about Amazon's lending business. He went out and spoke with a bunch of marketplace sellers on the platform and they're intimidated by Amazon's growing power. Their reliance on Amazon puts them in a vulnerable place when Amazon comes knocking, asking them if they want to borrow money. This money is earmarked solely for buying inventory to sell on Amazon but more, Dan heard from sellers that they felt taking the loans meant Amazon might treat them more fairly in the future. During our show, Dan expounds upon this issue and then extends it a bit forward -- more ecommerce platforms, like Shopify and PayPal, are becoming lenders. We talk about what this means for commerce and merchants and what it may augur to in the future of lending. Lastly, we explore some other things Dan has been looking in to -- namely, crypto lending. Subscribe: iTunes I SoundCloud I Spotify The following excerpts were edited for clarity. Amazon Lending Amazon's small business lending started in 2011 for third-party sellers on the Amazon Marketplace. An invitation-only lending model for small businesses selling on Amazon, there is no way to apply for a loan. Only Amazon has the power to invite a business to accept financing From the lender's perspective:
- Strong pool of potential borrowers, in 2018 the Amazon Marketplace has 2.5 million sellers, 24,000 sellers with over $1 million in sales on the platform
- So this lending helps support Amazon's current marketplace and boost sales, driving more revenue for the business and Amazon who collects a portion of each sale on the platform
- Offered financing directly as opposed to applying for a new loan
- Very easy to use, invited to apply for a loan, generally takes 24-48 hours
- Repayment is taken right out of the seller's account, they don't have to worry about making payments to another party
- Other ecommerce providers like Shopify and PayPal are also in the lending space. Shopify, announced a 73 percent increase in merchant cash advances late last year, so these services are growing.
- Part of their growth comes from their easy access to small business borrowers: the 2.5 million Amazon sellers, Paypal's 21 million merchant accounts, and Shopify is closing in on 1 million customers
- Already have customers and have insight into their ecommerce business, along with data metrics like sales and inventory numbers. Access to business data makes it easier to mitigate risk for these ecommerce lenders

Born to rural Iowa, Steve was trained at an early age that nothing was free for the asking. If you wanted something you had to make it a goal and work for it. Even as a toddler, Steve immediately had a talent for taking anything apart. After Steve discovered TOOLS, nothing was safe. Steve started working for an independent garage at age 16 repairing everything from farm tractors to foreign cars. After graduating from an auto mechanic tech school, Steve moved to Colorado in 1972 and worked for various dealerships and independents before accepting a mechanic job with the City of Loveland in 1988. Within two years Steve was promoted to Shop Supervisor and eventually to Fleet Manger in 1995. Steve is ACFM Certified, ASE Triple Master in automotive, heavy truck and school bus. Steve's passions are traditional archery, fly fishing and anything outdoors – even writing.
The 12 NEW Complaints of Christmas
Thinking of the 12 Days of Christmas song, I thought I would substitute 12 hopefully smile-generating complaints that I've heard customers say. You're lucky I decided not share this as a video since I'm banned from most karaoke clubs… Perhaps you and your staff have heard some of these comments/responses.

In addition to encouraging generous giving, many PCCs have assets that they own that can bring in regular income. These might be property assets such as church halls or houses, or financial assets such as investments or even cash which could be invested. As charitable trustees in financially stretching times, you will no doubt be concerned that you are maximising their income from these.
This is not about the Church being greedy, but about charitable trustees (which all PCC members are) ensuring that they are making the most of their potential sources of income. This is so that you can fulfil your core purpose as a charity: running the parish church as a local centre of worship and mission.
Below, you can download a short questionnaire on property assets, intended to help PCCs with self-study, i.e., it is NOT intended that the results should be sent in to your archdeacon or Church House. Some of the questions may seem very obvious and be ones that you consider routinely: if so, that is all well and good and this questionnaire need detain you no further.
However, it may raise issues that lead you to wonder whether you need to review your financial strategy. It is also possible that it may raise questions about which you feel you need some advice: in which case you may want to consult, for example, a local estate agent or, in certain circumstances, contact your archdeacon who, if necessary, can direct you to an appropriate officer at Church House or the Diocesan Board of Finance. For matters relating to church buildings or churchyards, the Church Buildings Department can advise on what permissions, such as faculties or planning permission, are required.
The questionnaire is not intended to be prescriptive: in different places, different policies will need to be adopted on the matters it covers.
Also below is some guidance on investments for PCCs.

Leave management of the employees is a core HR function. Online leave management system that streamlines communication between the HR and the staff, and facilitates a simple-to-use yet efficient system to manage all employee leave matters is commonplace in many workplaces today. It ensures that all leave applications and requests are accurately accounted for so that the staff can apply, approve and view leave records without hassles and delays. Now let us look at how an online leave management system streamlines the leaves taken by the employees and makes an HR's job easier.
Graphical Representation of the leaves taken: Most leave management systems that are available in the market today will have a tool like this, which will provide a graphical representation of the leaves taken by the employees. It will provide information like the total leaves taken till date by month and also the total leaves taken till date by leave type. It will also include a list of leave transactions for a period across organization or for specific departments / locations. It can be viewed either as charts or as screen reports. Through all this, HR admin of a company would be able to track the leaves taken by the employees.
Employee Leave Card: HR in a firm can use this feature to keep track of their employees' leave transactions throughout the leave year.
Granting Leaves: With this feature that is available in almost all leave management software, an HR personnel will be able to monitor the leave granted data of the current year. HR can use this screen to keep track of leave granted transactions either by selecting the particular leave type or by doing a search on individual employees.
Reviewing Leaves: By default, an employee's reporting manager is the person, who can review his/her leave. In case you intend to override this configuration because you found some discrepancy in it, you can do so by using this feature. This feature helps you to configure different reviewers based on employee group/individuals to carry out leave approvals.
Generation of Reports: HR can pull out various types of leave reports from a leave management software.
Reports that provide information on the excess leaves taken by employees that are in negative figures can be easily availed through a leave management system.
A summary report, which provides information about Opening Balance/Granted/Availed/Closing Balance for the specific leave type/all leave types etc., can be generated. Reports can be extracted based on year-wise or for a specified date range.
A day-wise leave transaction report can provide the list of employees, who are on leave for a particular day/date.
A leave availed report gives detailed information about the leave availed by each employee with a record of the number of days taken.
Employee Portal: Many employee leave management system gives the option of having an employee portal through which all employees will have access to all information pertaining to leaves. Through this, an employee can view their own employee profile and can access his/her employee directory. Employees will also be able to raise leave requests.
An online employee leave management system, which tracks and streamlines the leaves taken by employees in a firm is essential in workplaces today.

TestimonialsWhat our users say about novaPDF
novaPDF is an outstanding product... economical and lightning fast. It runs circles around ultra-expensive, S-L-O-W Adobe Acrobat! We switched to it and that's one of the best decisions we've made. Congratulations, for producing a gem of a product for the common man.
Louis B.
[...] I recommend this program to others, especially writers and illustrators who need to preserve layouts when sending work to publishers. I shall also consider upgrading, e.g. so I can convert and manage graphics more easily and accurately. Thank you for providing such an excellent program.
Nigel Benson
I use this program every day - it is my default printer - saves me a ton of paper and allows me to carry my "prints" around with me on my laptop, instead of dealing with a bunch of printouts. On those occasions where I do need an actual paper copy, then I just print the pdf file.
Fred D.
Thank you very much. As FYI, we decided to buy this because of the ratings, plus immediate ease of use. My assistant had never used PDF software before, downloaded this and was using it in less than one minute. Great stuff and great Customer Service as well.
James P.
The thing I like a lot about your product is that for large Word documents with lots of pictures, it doesn't run out of memory and produces a PDF file with all the graphics rather than black squares here and there.
Alex Potanin
Easy to install, works exactly as promised, no need to go out and pay $200 for Adobe. The customer service and quality of this company far surpassed my expectations, I highly recommend this product & company.

text: Dear Diary, Most of the time when you see me, you see my children close behind. They even went to the White House with me! It was an amazing experience. I was briefed by President Obama himself and my breastfeeding baby was by my side. Usually, I want my children to tag along places, especially because of my husband's work schedule. But this time, my 18-month-old went along for the trip because I'm still a nursing mommy. Yes, I'm one of the 9.4 percent of American moms who still breastfeed at 18 months according to the Centers for Disease Control. I knew I would always breastfeed my children. I just never thought we would do it for so long. I've found people to be incredibly supportive of my choice to breastfeed an infant, but those same people aren't so understanding when they find out my baby is now a toddler. The funniest reaction occurred at a conference. I shared with someone I just met that I brought my child (who was 16 months at the time) along, because I was still nursing. At first, she told me that was great. When she found out my baby's age, she said, Wait, he's how old? Okay, no judgment, no judgment. You really had to see her braids swing around with the double take, because it caused the people at the table to bust out laughing. My family's reaction was expressed to me when my sister asked how long I planned to breastfeed my son. She used this super serious tone and knowing my family, I know that this was a background discussion she'd been nominated to have with me. I replied something vague, and she then launched into a spiel. I know that in other cultures this is accepted but we live in America and our culture says you need to stop. He can walk and talk. It's just been too long. I just laughed it off and told her that when she became my primary caregiver, I'd take her thoughts into account. He was 18 months at the time. I need to be honest though. While I loved being able to meet my baby's nutritional, I do have a 20- month-old toddler, and I'm ready to wrap it up. I want to wear dresses as opposed to two-piece outfits for easy access. I also don't want to be pulled on in public with him saying nurse. I've tried to end the relationship a few times, but I haven't reached the breaking point. Soon we must end our nursing relationship, and I'm not sure how I'll feel about it. I know that I'll be very happy that I can go someplace overnight without the baby! While I might be melancholy that I no longer have a baby, I also think I'll be incredibly proud that I have a little boy who's growing up. Hey DFTM Fam—I am open to any tips on how to break free an extender nurser. Please share any in the comments! Kendra is a wife, mommy to two active little boys, and stepmother to a college junior. She nursed her first son for 21 months and is still going with the second one at 20 months in. She also wears the headbands of business owner, community volunteer and philanthropist. She spends her time with organizations that support women and children, loves to make connections and learn new things. She has a background in strategic research/ communications and event management. You can check out Kendra's blog at She blogs at Headbands for Today. You can also find her on Twitter and Facebook. 2 Responses Chef Demetra Overton August 12, 2014 My kids weened themselves at about 8-9 months but I supplemented with formula for both. I would never presume to judge another mother's journey. You must do what you feel is best for your family, the heck with what other people think. Reply Nickida Stephens August 18, 2014 My one child I was able to breastfeed with I did until he was 26 months old. I would got all kinds of funny looks when people found out. It's always nice to find another mom who breastfed past one.
