Boston (CNN) — A federal jury on Tuesday heard the voice of reputed Boston mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger in conversations recorded during visits by his family members since his incarceration in 2011.
Bulger, who had only been heard uttering choice expletives and inappropriate laughter during trial so far, can be heard imitating a machine gun while describing the death of a Dorchester bartender, who he is charged with killing along with 18 others.
"Bull Dog's was uh — Eddie Connors … the guy in the phone booth … pa pa pa pa pow," Bulger says, laughing with his niece and nephew, the son and daughter of his brother William Bulger, who was president of the Massachusetts State Senate for 17 years.
Prosecutors allege Bulger killed Connors in a phone booth in 1975 for running his mouth about Bulger and his "Winter Hill Gang" killing another Charlestown gangster.
Karen Smith, who testified earlier about the last time she saw Connors, her father — who she said used to come home for dinner and put her and her brother to bed every night — was sobbing in her seat in the courtroom when the audio was played.
Bulger did not implicate himself as the killer in the partially transcribed phone conversation of a visit on October 13, 2012. He said, "They threw my name in the mix," likely referring to others placing the blame on him. "As usual," his nephew responded. "But that is what happened," Bulger said to his niece and nephew.
In another audio recording, Bulger described a run-in with potential robbers at the liquor store he and his partners allegedly used as an "office."
"So I picked up a shotgun and I'm aimin' it at them and the guy looked up and oh…," Bulger said to his brother John Bulger.
"And I put one in the chamber like, ptwwww — and he looked up and I'm aimin' and he says to the other guy, he says, 'Hey, (Bulger laughs) a bag of peanuts please.' "
"We were lucky they didn't try to do nothing," Bulger told his brother during this December 11, 2012, visit.
The prosecution has been trying to prove Bulger is guilty of 19 murder charges, as well as extortion, racketeering and money laundering. Bulger, 83, has pleaded not guilty. The trial entered its 15th day Tuesday, and will resume Monday after a long holiday weekend. The prosecution has called more than 30 witnesses and could call as many as 80 before the defense is given an opportunity to make its case. Judge Denise Casper advised jurors on Tuesday that court is likely to go into September.
William "Billy" Shea was also called to the stand.
Shea said he sold drugs for Bulger and gave him a "chop," or piece of the profit, during the reign of Bulger's South Boston empire, which prosecutor's say lasted nearly 20 years. Shea also described how he and Bulger cultivated a friendship and a business together, often pointing to "Jim," and referring to him during his storytelling, as if they were telling it together.
At one point, Shea was asked to describe how much money he was making at the height of his drug selling, when he was paying Bulger a cut of $4,000 a week. "It was brisk, a good weekly take. I would say plus 100-thousand or more every week. I'm thinking Jim's looking at me saying this son of a bitch got that much money and I only got that end … I don't know!" Bulger laughed, as did the courtroom.
Shea said he sold "gangster" weed and later partnered with Joseph Tower to sell cocaine. The jury, and the courtroom, appeared captivated by his storytelling.
When Shea was asked to identify Bulger, he pointed at him and said, "He is that young fella right there," and Bulger returned his old friend's smile.
Shea, like the other associates, painted Bulger as their insurance, the "protection" they needed to do business and not be bothered. Both Tower and Shea have testified that Bulger helped them when they most needed it. Tower said Bulger saved his brother's life. Tower said Tuesday, "Bulger was well known and well feared — If you were with Mr. Bulger you could operate, you didn't need the police." Both Shea and Tower are testifying under immunity agreements with the federal government.
Shea told the jury that Bulger got upset with him when Shea indicated he wanted to leave the business. When Shea said he began reconciling with his old friend, it was as if no one was in the courtroom but the two of them.
"It was the first time you ever threatened me. I am sure you remember it. I do. You said, 'You remember what happened to Bucky Barrett?' I understood it to be what it meant. Bucky Barrett is someone who is missing. I took it as a threat," Shea said to Bulger, who was sitting no more than five feet in front of him. Bulger is charged with the murder of Arthur "Bucky" Barrett after allegedly shaking him down for money after a bank robbery.
Then it seemed Shea remembered he was in court and said, "It changed my perception of Jim just like that. I am looking at a guy who I thought I knew for many years, and he is saying you will do what I say or I'll whack you, basically."
Shea said shortly after that, Bulger and his associates picked Shea up and took him to the South Boston projects, where Bulger led him into a cellar to "frighten me or whack me." Shea said Bulger just wanted to talk about "trust." Shea said he had his back to the concrete on the lookout for the associates, who he thought were going to come down the steps to the cellar and "make" him. Shea said Bulger was also questioning him about "skimming" the drugs to set up a side business, but Shea said he "hadn't seen the product in years," adding "that's what Jim taught me, to always have buffers."
Shea said about Bulger, "I have always feared him a little bit because I know he's smart and clever. I am thinking if he makes a move…" and then Shea looked at Bulger. "You make a move, you are going with me, Jim. That's what was going through my head."
Shea said Bulger didn't want any loose ends, and Shea assured him he didn't rat out Bulger when he was arrested in 1983 on drug trafficking charges, and he wasn't going to do it once he backed out of the business. The men finished their conversation and Bulger offered Shea a ride home, but Shea opted to walk, he said.
Shea was with his 4-year-old son when he bumped into Bulger on a snowy night a month later. Shea said Bulger immediately told him, "Bill, we are just here by chance," in an effort to ease his nerves. Shea said he hadn't seen Bulger since then until Tuesday.

Hackers stole information for more than 5 million credit and debit cards used at Saks Fifth Avenue, Saks Off 5th and Lord & Taylor stores.
Hudson's Bay Company, which owns the retail chains, confirmed the breach Sunday, and said it has "identified the issue, and has taken steps to contain it."
"Once the Company has more clarity around the facts, it will notify customers quickly and will offer those impacted free identity protection services, including credit and web monitoring," Hudson's Bay said in a press release.
The company added that the cards were used for in-store purchases, and there is "no indication" online purchases were affected. Hudson's Bay said it's cooperating with law enforcement in an ongoing investigation.
A cybersecurity firm called Gemini Advisory identified the breach and posted a blog post detailing its scope. The "attack is amongst the biggest and most damaging to ever hit retail companies," according to the firm.
Gemini Advisory said a hacking syndicate put credit and debit card information it obtained from the hack up for sale on the dark web last week.
A "preliminary analysis" found credit card data was obtained for sales dating back to May 2017, according to the post. The breach likely impacted more than 130 Saks and Lord & Taylor locations across the country, but the "majority of stolen credit cards were obtained from New York and New Jersey locations."
The hackers were also behind notorious data breaches that affected companies including Whole Foods, Chipotle, Omni Hotels & Resorts and Trump Hotels, Gemini Advisory said.

Halsey Drops '11 Minutes' With Her New Beau Yungblud
Halsey and Yungblud are taking their relationship to the next level and just dropped a collaborative single, along with Blink-182's Travis Barker.
The iconic drummer does his magical thing behind the kit while the singers exchange verses before coming together at the chorus to lament "I'm eleven minutes away and I've missed you all day/ I'm eleven minutes away, so why aren't you here?"
"The song tells the story of a perfect tragedy that reflects modern love within our society," Yungblud explained in a statement. "We are so distracted and focused on what's next, we can fail to see what is actually in front of us. We don't realize how much we need something until it's taken away from us."
"Working with Halsey and Travis was a f--king dream – at the end of the day we're all rock kids," he continued. "We grew up with a mutual adoration for the genre so it completely makes sense that we would come together and try to modernize it."
Listen to "11 Minutes" below.
Halsey and Yungblud have been romantically linked since late last year, and were most recently spotted packing on the PDA in West Hollywood a couple weeks ago. They began spending time together shortly after the 24-year-old ended her relationship with G-Eazy (for the second time). The pop star recently put her ex on blast during her Saturday Night Live performance, leading fans to believe the rapper cheated on her several times.

Ampersand Interiors was formed in June 2005 by its owners Glen and Andreas. For the previous fifteen years they had both worked for Next in the UK, Andreas as a senior store manager and Glen as a home furnishings merchandiser and as a customer service manager in the UK and working with the group here in Cyprus. After several business trips to Cyprus, they decided to invest in a small holiday home with a view to retirement in the future, but as the pressure of working for a leading UK retailer grew more and more, they decided to take a gamble and move permanently to Cyprus and see if for the first time in their working careers they could run a business of their own. Given our experience in retail and particularly in home furnishings, it was a natural choice to go into this market. We had noticed a gap for quality goods at affordable prices and started our business specializing in curtains, blinds and soft furnishings, which we imported from various countries around Europe and our contacts in Next, were very useful. The emphasis was always on quality with simple styles that suited the Mediterranean home and choices that we would happily have in our own home, so the cheaper end of the market was definitely not for us and we have always stayed at the Next/ John Lewis end of the market and as many of us will know, you get what you pay for and here in Cyprus cheap fabrics and ready made curtains will fade within a season.

"Fairest of months! Ripe summer queen
The hey-day of the year
With robes that gleam with sunny sheen,
Sweet August doth appear."
~R. Combe Miller
Hello dear friends and welcome to another Tea Time Tuesday! Did you all have a nice weekend? My hubby and I were away for the weekend visiting my family in New Brunswick so my post will be a wee bit shorter today.
It was a busy weekend so I am enjoying some peace and quiet today. The sound of birds singing outside my window and the scent of summer is wafting its way through the open windows.
I do love this time of year!
For our tea today, I am using a teapot I found at the Anne of Green Gables Store at the beginning of the Summer.
It is sitting on a Skye McGhie plate called Coventry Garden.
The Coventry Garden teacup goes well with it. I love these beautiful pink roses that smile sweetly from these pieces!
Cupcake under glass.
I have decided to move my tea into the living room where I can watch the birds at the feeder.
These are my last roses of Summer. It is sad to see them go!
I have a cup of tea for you too. This is another Skye McGhie teacup called Chantilly Lace.
Happiness is sharing tea with a friend.
Tea is a hug in a cup. ~ Unknown
"But now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." ~ 1 Corinthians 13:13

Physicists at UC San Diego have developed a new kind of X-ray microscope that can penetrate deep within materials like Superman's fabled X-ray vision and see minute details at the scale of a single nanometer, or one billionth of a meter.
But that's not all. What's unusual about this new, nanoscale, X-ray microscope is that the images are not produced by a lens, but by means of a powerful computer program.
The scientists report in a paper published in this week's early online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that this computer program, or algorithm, is able to convert the diffraction patterns produced by the X-rays bouncing off the nanoscale structures into resolvable images.
"The mathematics behind this is somewhat complicated," said Oleg Shpyrko, an assistant professor of physics at UC San Diego who headed the research team. "But what we did is to show that for the first time that we can image magnetic domains with nanometer precision. In other words, we can see magnetic structure at the nanoscale level without using any lenses."
One immediate application of this lens-less X-ray microscope is the development of smaller, data storage devices for computers that can hold more memory.
"This will aid research in hard disk drives where the magnetic bits of data on the surface of the disk are currently only 15 nanometers in size," said Eric Fullerton, a co-author of the paper and director of UC San Diego's Center for Magnetic Recording Research. "This new ability to directly image the bits will be invaluable as we push to store even more data in the future."
The development should be also immediately applicable to other areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
"To advance nanoscience and nanotechnology, we have to be able to understand how materials behave at the nanoscale," said Shpyrko. "We want to be able to make materials in a controlled fashion to build magnetic devices for data storage or, in biology or chemistry, to be able to manipulate matter at nanoscale. And in order to do that we have to be able to see at nanoscale. This technique allows you to do that. It allows you to look into materials with X-rays and see details at the nanoscale."
"Because there is no lens in the way, putting a bulky magnet around the sample or adding equipment to change the sample environment in some other way during the measurement is much easier with this method than if we had to use a lens," Shpyrko added.
Ashish Tripathi, a graduate student in Shpyrko's lab, developed the algorithm that served as the X-ray microscope's lens. It worked, in principle, somewhat like the computer program that sharpened the Hubble Space Telescope's initially blurred images, which was caused by a spherical aberration in the telescope's mirror before the telescope was repaired in space. A similar concept is employed by astronomers working in ground-based telescopes who use adaptive optics, movable mirrors controlled by computers, to take out the distortions in their images from the twinkling star light moving through the atmosphere.
But the technique Tripathi developed was entirely new. "There was a lot of simulation involved in the development; it was a lot of work," said Shpyrko.
To test their microscope's ability to penetrate and resolve details at the nanoscale, the physicists made a layered film composed of the elements gadolinium and iron. Such films are now being studied in the information technology industry to develop higher capacity, smaller, and faster computer memory and disk drives.
"Both are magnetic materials and if you combine them in a structure it turns out they spontaneously form nanoscale magnetic domains," Shpyrko. "They actually self assemble into magnetic stripes."
Under the X-ray microscope, the layered gadolinium and iron film looks something like baklava dessert that crinkles up magnetically to form a series of magnetic domains, which appear like the repeating swirls of the ridges in fingerprints. Being able to resolve those domains at the nanoscale for the first time is critically important for computer engineers seeking to cram more data into smaller and smaller hard drives.
As materials are made with smaller and smaller magnetic domains, or thinner and thinner fingerprint patterns, more data can be stored in a smaller space within a material. "The way we're able to do that is to shrink the size of the magnetic bits," Shpyrko said.
The technique should find many other uses outside computer engineering as well.
"By tuning the X-ray energy, we can also use the technique to look at different elements within materials, which is very important in chemistry," he added. "In biology, it can be used to image viruses, cells and different kinds of tissues with a spatial resolution that is better than resolution available using visible light."
The scientists used the Advanced Photon Source, the most brilliant source of coherent X-rays in the Western Hemisphere, at the University of Chicago's Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago to conduct their research project, which was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. In addition to Tripathi, Shpyrko and Fullerton, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at UC San Diego, other co-authors of the paper include UC San Diego physics graduate students Jyoti Mohanty, Sebastian Dietze and Erik Shipton as well as physicists Ian McNulty and SangSoo Kim at Argonne National Laboratory.

It is okay to be angry. It is never okay to be cruel.
It's pathetic and pointless. And for the rest of us innocent bystanders… very annoying.
To be completely honest, we're sick of your whining, your complaining, your anger, your victim mentality and your inability to see that your current attitude (not some historical event) is your biggest problem. We're also sick of you blaming your (current) bad behaviour on your parents. What's standing between you and success right now is YOU. Not your folks, not your history… you. And the fact that you think THEY have sabotaged your life and are somehow responsible for your (current) stupid behaviours and less-than-desirable outcomes, wreaks of denial, immaturity and delusion.

As drug firms race to position themselves as key players in the coronavirus fight, the industry faces a renewed wave of civil lawsuits stemming from its role in the nation's deadly opioid epidemic.
Thousands of cases that ground to a halt because of the COVID-19 pandemic are moving forward again as local, state and federal courts reopen around the United States.
"I think it's quite serious," said Rebecca Haffajee, who studies opioid litigation for the Rand Corp. and the University of Michigan. "There have been delays associated with COVID, but I actually don't think there's an end in sight for a lot of these defendants."
Pressure on the opioid front comes even as drug firms are producing medicines and providing services, including testing and vaccine development, needed to help slow the pandemic.
"These companies are and have argued that they are essential businesses" during the coronavirus crisis, Haffajee noted.
But some of the nation's biggest companies — including CVS, Johnson & Johnson, McKesson and Walgreens — remain mired in legal and financial uncertainty tied to their decades-long manufacture and sale of prescription opioids.
The highly addictive medications have contributed to the overdose deaths of more than 230,000 Americans, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Fallout from the opioid crisis has already forced two companies, Purdue Pharma and Insys Therapeutics, into bankruptcy.
Mallinckrodt, a maker of generic opioids, announced last week it is considering filing for Chapter 11 protection, in part because of opioid liabilities.
Nevertheless, Haffajee said, "the goal is not necessarily to put these pharmacies, these manufacturers and these distributors out of business altogether."
"That would actually be bad for public health and for the health care industry."
Companies look to pivot away from opioid scandal
In addition to financial and legal uncertainty, years of opioid litigation have meant devastating public relations blows for some of the drug industry's highest profile companies as well as their owners.
They were once viewed as philanthropists and champions of public health, but court filings have revealed the role executives played in downplaying the risk of prescription pain medications to boost profits.
Just last year, Oklahoma's attorney general described Johnson & Johnson as a "drug kingpin" for its role pushing medical opioids. A state judge in that case ruled the company must pay $465 million in damages.
In a separate case, the company also agreed to pay two Ohio counties $20.4 million to settle opioid claims.
Johnson & Johnson has denied any wrongdoing in these cases, and now the company appears eager to pivot, recasting itself as a major player in the race for a coronavirus vaccine.
"We're facing arguably one of the most serious health challenges the world has ever faced, but we're doing our absolute very best to make sure we can navigate our way through," CEO Alex Gorsky said in a webcast to investors this summer.
Last week Johnson & Johnson announceda $1 billion deal with the federal government aimed at producing millions of doses of a vaccine now in development.
Pressure grows to reach a settlement
But a series of legal developments in recent weeks complicate the drug industry's efforts to put the opioid scandal behind it.
At the end of July, the Justice Department filed civil and criminal claims against Purdue Pharma, makers of Oxycontin, worth more than $13 billion, according to Reuters, complicating that company's structured bankruptcy proceedings.
Last week, a federal judge in Ohio ruled that a major case against pharmacy chains can go forward. Local governments in that suit claim corner drugstores dispensed huge quantities of opioids without proper safeguards against diversion and misuse.
Meanwhile, a court in Tennessee scheduled a jury trial for next month involving drug-makers Endo and Mallinckrodt. Local governments in that case are seeking opioid-related damages of roughly $2.5 billion.
"They're going to have to answer for what they've done," said Gerard Stranch, an attorney representing Tennessee communities ravaged by the addiction crisis.
As civil and criminal cases move forward, pressure is growing to reach a national settlement of opioid-related cases similar to the Big Tobacco payouts of the 1990s.
The goal is to cap the drug industry's total liability and end financial instability for firms while accelerating payouts to cash-strapped communities.
Several proposed settlements unveiled last year, involving Johnson & Johnson, Teva and others, still haven't been finalized.
Stranch predicted companies would need to increase their offers of compensation before local governments agree to cut deals.
"They're not going to be allowed to just walk away and say, well, a couple hundred million dollars is the best we can do," he said.
But even the drug industry's fiercest critics also acknowledged firms lack the cash to compensate Americans harmed by prescription opioids and the addiction crisis fully. By some estimates, the opioid crisis is costing communities hundreds of billions of dollars a year.
"Even if you took all their money, you're not going to be able to right the harm they've done," Stranch said. "The amount of damage is simply too great."

COM-FSM > Courses > ART 101: Introduction to Art > Lesson 06: Tone and Value
Lesson 06: Tone and ValueTable of contentsNo headersClass# 6: Tone and Value Feb. 15-19, 2016 Materials needed: ?Strathmore Sketchbook Pad (9 x 12)?Drawing pencils?Eraser CSLO 1.6 Student will be able to diagram the values of a color. CSLO 3.1 Student will be able to evaluate his/her own work of art. Today we are going to start by reviewing the Elements of Art. They are a commonly used group of aspects of a work of artused in teaching and analysis, in combination with the principles of art(which we will cover in future classes).?Here are the elements of art: 1. Texture:The texture is the quality of a surface or the way any work of art is represented. Lines and shading can be used to create different textures as well. For example, if one is portraying certain fabrics, one needs to give the feeling of the right texture so that it closely resembles what the artist is trying to convey. 2. Form:Form may be created by the forming of two or more shapes or as three-dimensional shape (cube, pyramid, sphere, etc.). It may be enhanced by tone, texture and color. Form is considered three-dimensional showing height, width and depth. Examples of these are sculpture, theater play and figurines. 3. Space: Space is the area provided for a particular purpose. It may have two dimensions (length and width), such as a floor, or it may have three dimensions (length, width, and height). Space includes the background, foreground and middle ground. Space refers to the distances or areas around, between or within components of a piece. There are two types of space: positive and negative space. Positive space refers to the space of a shape representing the subject matter. Negative space refers to the space around and between the subject matter. 4. Line: Line is most easily defined as a mark that spans a distance between two points (or the path of a moving point), taking any form along the way. As an art element, line pertains to the use of various marks, outlines and implied lines in artwork and design, most often used to define shape in two-dimensional work. Implied line is the path that the viewer's eye takes as it follows shapes, colors, and form along a path, but may not be continuous or physically connected, such as the line created by a dancer's arms, torso, and legs when performing an arabesque. 5. Shape: Shape pertains to the use of areas in two dimensional space that can be defined by edges, setting one flat specific space apart from another. Shapes can be geometric (e.g.: square, circle, triangle, hexagon, etc.) or organic (such as the shape of a puddle, blob, leaf, cloud, etc.) in nature. Shapes are defined by other elements of art: Space, Line, Texture, Value, Color, Form. 6. Color: Color pertains to the use of hue in artwork and design. Color is defined as primary colors(red, yellow, blue)which cannot bemixed in pigmentfrom other hues and secondary colors (green, orange, purple) which are directly mixed from combinations of primary colors. Further combinations of primary and secondary colors create tertiary (and more) hues. Tint and Shade are references to adding variations in Value; other tertiary colors are derived by mixing either a primary or secondary color with a neutral color. e.g. Red + White = Pink. 7. Value: Value, or tone, refers to the use of light and dark, shade and highlight, in an artwork. Black-and-white photography depends entirely on value to define its subjects. Value is directly related to contrast. Today's class in going to be focusing on value and tone. ?Here are some examples of black and white artwork that demonstrates value. 1. In this drawing of a manikin (human figure) the lightest value is the head of the manikin and the darkest value is the background:? ? http://www.dawnsbrain.com/lesson-images/art_2006_manikin_values.jpg 2.The artist MC Escher made world with a range of tone. Here are some examples:? ? http://www.cord.edu/faculty/andersod/escher_convex.jpg? ? http://www.math.technion.ac.il/~rl/M.C.Escher/2/escher-reptiles.gif? ? http://www.scottmcd.net/artanalysis/...Escher-Big.jpg ? The American photographer Ansel Adams made black and white photographs that are rich in tone and value. Here are some examples:? ? http://shop.anseladams.com/v/vspfile...010117-U-2.jpg ? http://www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/adams/F03.jpg? ? http://www.shariblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/main_anselAdamsPhotography.jpg Homework: In order to increase your understanding you are going to make a value scale. Here are the steps that you must follow:
Next, you are going to try applying what you have learned about value to 3 basic shapes. They are the sphere (circle), the pyramid and a square. ? Draw each of these three shapes on one piece of paper so that it fills most of the page.? ? Next, on each page draw the sun in the upper left hand corner of the page with your pencil. This sun is your light source. The side of your shape that is close to the sun is going to be light in value (light gray to white). The side of your shape that is not close to the sun is going to be dark in value (dark gray and black). Here is an example that you can look at:? ? http://www.paulcarneyarts.com/images...ll_shading.jpg ? Now color each one of your shapes so that each one has all the values that you made in your value scale. This should include a range from dark black, dark gray, medium gray, light gray and white. Your final drawings of each shape should look something like this: Sphere:?http://www.bluelavaart.com/images/isf/valuescale/chiaroscuro-valuescale.jpg?? Square:?http://polymathprogrammer.com/images/blog/200808/lightanglesonobjectvertices.jpg?? Pyramid (pretend it is black & white not color):?https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-SHb1-568MjM/TX1412wWBjI/AAAAAAAABKU/p1aj2DRBibE/Pyramid.jpg? After you have done your scale and drawings, each on a single piece of paper, scan your work (should be 4 pages of drawings total) and upload it onto your Flickr page. In the Flickr "Description" panel be sure to include what the drawing is. Any work that has not been uploaded by the evening of Feb. 19th, will be marked down one letter grade for each week day it is late.? Complete the "Student Rating" section of the rubric for this assignment. The rubric is located in the files at the bottom of this page. Email the completed rubric to firstname.lastname@example.com. This concludes the sixth class for AR101. If you have any questions regarding the material or assignment please email your instructor at firstname.lastname@example.com? |

Hosting a casino party, especially on a break such as Halloween possibly birthday party, is completely out of the norm. Happen to be in fact party rental stores that lease out all the items a person could ever want to their casino entity. Whether it is a formal gathering such as a fundraiser or maybe a party someone's home, the casino theme to generate quite the scene.
A good online casino gives higher payout probabilities. Ufabet can tell little leaguer the overall payout in the games offered and the breakdown of every game to present the person an idea which of the people games will provide better reverts.
On probably one of my journeys, me that has a friend were heading one more town, had been about 10 miles down. The town we were heading to, was famous for a game called "smiles".

'My Girl' Singer Dylan Scott Welcomes Baby Boy
Dylan Scott and his wife Blair welcomed their first baby, a son named Beckett Scott Robinson, on Tuesday (Dec. 12), as reported by People.
The little boy was born in Nashville, and weighed in at 8 lbs. and measured 21 inches long. His middle name is actually his father's middle name (as well as his grandfather's, too).
"Blair and I are so excited that our son, Beckett, arrived at 5:20 p.m. today," the singer told People. "He is a healthy, beautiful baby and we are blessed that everything went well. And Blair is doing great!"
The couple, who were high-school sweethearts and married in 2016, announced they were expecting in June and had a fun gender reveal involving showers of blue confetti in July. Athough their parenting experience together to date has been limited to furbabies (pups Brodie and Bella), Scott, 27, told People his wife is a natural with the small fry.
"My wife is so good with kids," he said. "I've watched her for a long time now and she's really good. In that aspect, I've got her to show me everything I need to know."
The rising star has been on the road with Justin Moore on his Hell on a Highway Tour that continues through April of 2018. Scott scored his first No. 1 single with "My Girl" in 2017.

Stealth Jet's Oxygen Woes Still a Mystery, Air Force Admits:
Mitt Romney says he wants to re-open production of America's topline stealth fighter program. One problem: The Air Force still isn't sure why the planes were intermittently choking their pilots for more than a decade.
Thanks to a big assist from teams of Navy divers and NASA scientists, the Air Force believes it has figured out how to keep the F-22 Raptor's fighter jocks safe, after 12 years of disturbing incidents. That's the good news from today's Congressional hearing on the Raptor's long history of causing mysterious, and potentially fatal, breathing difficulties.
The bad news: The Air Force doesn't know what's really going on in the F-22 pilots' bodies that cause them to experience dizziness, confusion, memory loss, blackouts and, over the longer term, chronic coughing and fatigue. Nor do they understand why the stealth jet is causing these symptoms. Through trial and error the flying branch and its Navy and NASA pals have figured out what the experts say is the best remedy to these dangerous symptoms.
But Air Force officials admitted to the House Armed Services Committee that they continue to be confused about what physical condition is actually causing the lethal effects. Service leaders have stopped using the term "hypoxia," which means oxygen shortage, instead referring to "hypoxia-like symptoms." Low blood sugar, dehydration and hypocapnia — a shortage of carbon dioxide in the blood — could also cause pilots to get dizzy and black out, testified Maj. Gen. William Lyon, who heads the service's F-22 investigation.
In other words, the current fixes — an improved pressure suit for the pilots, a new backup oxygen system plus the removal of a faulty air filter, among other adjustments — are really only band-aids.
The Air Force is confident that, with the fixes, the Raptor cockpit is a comparatively "safe and effective place to work," Lyon said.
But the Air Force can't honestly say its roughly 180 Lockheed Martin-made F-22s are "100-percent safe," as Brig. Gen. Matthew Molloy, the commander of a rotational Raptor base in the Pacific, claimed last month.
That uncomfortable truth should add some context to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's vow to re-open Lockheed's defunct F-22 production line and produce more of the radar-evading jets, which cost nearly $700 million apiece to design, build, upgrade and operate.
The Thursday hearing shed new light on the F-22′s history of harming its pilots and the Air Force's years-long efforts to figure out why. Lyons told Maryland representative Roscoe Bartlett, the Republican chair of the Subcommittee on Tactical and Air Land Forces, that the first case of Raptor-pilot breathlessness occurred in 2000, when the F-22 was still in testing. Raptor pilots suffered just six hypoxia-like incidents between 2003 and 2008, in part because there were so few of the jets flying, Lyon added.
In 2005 Boeing proposed to improve the Raptor's oxygen systems, an offer the Air Force declined because at the time hypoxia-like symptoms "were at a small level," Lyon said. He insisted recent changes to the F-22 have resulted in safety improvements equivalent to the Boeing-proposed upgrades from seven years ago.
The number of pilot chokings spiked from 2008 to 2011 as more new F-22s rolled out of Lockheed's Marietta, Georgia, factory, Lyon explained. There were another dozen hypoxia-like incidents in those three years, apparently not counting Capt. Jeff Haney's fatal crash in Alaska in November 2010, which the Air Force continues to blame on Haney despite evidence he blacked out. Lockheed recently settled a lawsuit by Haney's widow.
Overall the Raptors strangled their pilots 27 times per 100,000 flight hours, nine times the rate of other U.S. warplanes. Weirdly, ground crews suffered occasional symptoms, as well. Equally strange, only two F-22 facilities out of eight ever experienced any problems.
In May 2011 the Air Force grounded the entire F-22 force — numbering six combat-coded squadrons in Alaska, Hawaii, Virginia and Florida plus forward bases in Japan and the United Arab Emirates — while the flying branch investigated the pilots' symptoms. The investigation, led by retired general Gregory Martin, ruled out low blood sugar and dehydration and focused instead on hypoxia and hypocapnia. Both conditions are attributable to the aircraft's systems rather than solely to pilots' behavior.
Suspecting air-supply contamination, the Air Force added a charcoal filter to the Raptor's oxygen-generator. The filter made the problems worse, adding black phlegm to the pilots' signature "Raptor cough." The F-22s returned to flight in September last year, albeit with altitude restrictions that Lyon said represented an "acceptable level of risk." But two pilots disagreed. Maj. Jeremy Gordon and Capt. Josh Wilson refused to resume flying a jet they deemed too dangerous.
In an interview with 60 Minutes in May, Gordon and Wilson claimed that the "vast, silent majority" of F-22 pilots lived in fear of the airplane. Facing Air Force reprisal, Wilson sought whistleblower protection. But the flying branch did agree to remove the harmful charcoal filter.
The F-22s were back in the air — and busier than ever in training exercises and overseas deployments. But the Air Force still really had no idea exactly what had caused the pilot blackouts.
Desperate and under increasing pressure from the Pentagon, the Air Force brought in outside help, including Navy divers experienced with oxygen deprivation and a team of NASA engineers and scientists, Lyon said. In short order, the flying branch found problems with a valve on the special vests worn by F-22 pilots to counteract the effects of thin air and high G forces. Under certain conditions the valve could restrict airflow to the aviator's lungs, the Air Force concluded.
The Air Force tweaked the vests and also began installing a backup oxygen system, with all 180-plus F-22s scheduled to get the backup gear by the middle of 2014. In the meantime, NASA's investigation continued. In addition to studying the Raptor's oxygen woes, the NASA group also scrutinized the Air Force's approach to solving the jet's problems.
The space agency endorsed the Air Force's filter, vest and backup oxygen plans — an "ah-hah moment" for the service, Lyon testified. But in a report issued two weeks ago, NASA also found the flying branch wanting in some regards. The space agency warned against what it called the "normalization of deviance," NASA investigator Clinton Cragg testified alongside Lyon. In other words, over time pilots and bureaucrats risk viewing preventable dangers as just a routine part of the job — a phenomenon that partially explains why the Raptor's oxygen woes have dragged on for 12 years.
Cragg told the House subcommittee that the Air Force's investigative process "could have been more efficient." He said he wants to see additional reviews of the F-22′s pilot gear and another formal assessment of the flying branch's attempts to address the hypoxia-like symptoms. The implication is that the fixes to the Raptor's systems aren't perfect.
There have been no hypoxia-like symptoms in the F-22 force since March, Lyon revealed. But in light of the uncertainty surrounding the Air Force's investigation, it should surprise no one if America's stealth-fighter pilots start blacking out again.

Can you feel the love? Valentine's Day is (almost) here! The holiday will soon be upon us, and for marketers, this is big news. Valentine's Day presents a perfect opportunity to take advantage of and utilize in your marketing efforts.
Like many holidays, Valentine's Day gives you the chance to play off of popular topics and create messages your consumers can connect with. So how do you plan on using Valentine's Day in your marketing strategy? If you're not sure yet, here are some ideas for how to show marketing love this Valentine's Day.
1. Use charm in your email marketing.
If your business is active in email marketing, then Valentine's Day is a great opportunity to swoon customers even more. Don't be afraid to incorporate a bit of the holiday's charm into your email's subject line, content and call to action. For instance, "We're in love with these Valentine's deals," is a catchy line that relates to the holiday and encourages customers to open. Use a casual, engaging voice in the content, and include emoji where appropriate, for a little extra added charm.
2. Run two-for-one deals.
Valentine's Day tends to be all about couples, so lean into the trend by running two-for-one deals on your products or services. For instance, incorporate a "buy one, get one free" offer that plays on the idea of being coupled up. Even if your business focuses more on services, you can always throw in a hint of love. For example, a print company might run a promotion on "buy 50 wedding invitations, get 50 free." No matter what your business is, brainstorm ways for how you can play off the idea of Valentine's Day couples.
3. Spice up your social media.
Share the spirit of the season with your followers on social media by spicing up your accounts with a bit of Valentine's Day flair. Post a photo or two about the holiday, and don't be afraid to get creative and romantic with it. If you plan on doing an entire Valentine's Day marketing campaign, then incorporate matching images into your social media cover and profile photos. Social media marketing is a massive platform for companies to take advantage of, particularly during holidays, when customers feel more engaged.
4. Create a Valentine's gift guide.
Whether you're an early shopper or a procrastinator, we all love buying (and getting) gifts for Valentine's Day. Connect with your customers on a personal level by creating a Valentine's Day gift guide for them to utilize. Choose a theme such as romance or self-love to base the list around. Then, include some of your own products or services alongside a few from other non-competitor sites. A gift guide is the perfect way to provide useful content your customers will enjoy, while still showcasing ways to buy from you.
5. Send customers a card.
This might seem a little retro, but sending your customers a physical Valentine's Day card is a great way to show how much you care. While most brands focus their holiday marketing online, you can stand out from the crowd with a more traditional technique. Plus, many customers probably receive quite a few emails already, so a surprise Valentine could be just what they're looking for. Avoid "sale-sy" language, and instead focus on telling customers what they mean to you, thanking them for their support and offering a special discount.
Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, but there's still time to jump on board the holiday marketing train. Keep these ideas in mind and see how you can incorporate them into your campaigns so more customers will fall in love with your business this Valentine's Day.

At five minutes to eight last night, Eastern time, the internet imploded. Or at least, that corner of the internet that was attempting to access the live-stream for the promised "Rumble in the Air-Conditioned Auditorium" between Fox News' patriarch Bill O'Reilly and the Daily Show's Jon Stewart. Under the pressure of "hundreds of thousands" of last-minute users trying to access the live feed (which cost $4.95, with some proceeds for charity), Nox Solutions, which was operating the stream, came under heavy fire from dissatisfied social media users. "Screw you NOX SOLUTIONS", said one on the event's Facebook page. "This is ridiculous this is PATHETIC – off to Reddit to fix, mock and hopefully find a solution," said another.
The Wall Street Journal's live-blog of the event was caught in the blackout. The entry for 8:24 reads: "I apologize for this live blog not being able to cover this event so far. We have already contacted the organizers to ask what's going on with their site, which appears to have crashed for lots of other users. Nobody has returned our message yet."
I managed to find a feed eventually, through a slightly shady web-TV outfit based, as far as I could tell, out of the Ukraine, with a shaky video feed but a solid audio, which was better than a lot of people were doing. The showdown, when I finally got in to it, was a hell of a lot more fun than last Wednesday's presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.
Bill O'Reilly is probably the most influential media figure on the right. His Fox News show has been top of the ratings for more than ten years now, while more bombastic anchors like Glenn Beck have come and gone. Meanwhile Stewart, despite vehemently denying his show's political influence – "I'm just a comedian," he likes to say in interviews, slightly disingenuously – is nonetheless without a doubt the most influential media figure on the left, with viewing figures similar to that of O'Reilly, and the Daily Show acts as a stalwart check on the excesses of Fox News. Both command audiences of between two and three million.
Stewart and O'Reilly have already crossed swords on the other's shows several times, and these are always enjoyable conflicts. While there were a lot of lines played just for laughs – Stewart said the Fox News building had the Eye of Sauron on its roof, and raised himself up and down at various intervals on a platform lift behind his podium as part of a running joke about their height difference (Stewart is 5'7", O'Reilly 6'4", leading the former to call the latter a "yeti"). O'Reilly came with bizarre placards – one with the words "Iran: not frightened" as well as a cartoon picture of a bomb.
But despite this levity, much of the evening had a serious tone. The biggest applause of the evening came from a line of Stewart's. "Why is it that if you take advantage of a tax break, you're a smart businessman, but if you take advantage of something you need to not go hungry, you're a moocher?" he demanded. When O'Reilly said that government was good at running things like the military only because it had a "tradition" of doing so, Stewart, leaning back and unsmiling, called it "the silliest thing you've said all evening."
Stewart scored a crushing blow when the moderator asked who each of them would save, rather surreally, if "America was burning." "Oprah," answered O'Reilly. "She's worth a hundred million." Stewart raised an eyebrow, and said cuttingly: "well, I'd save my family. But listen, Oprah's a great answer too."
The Daily Show presenter was especially good at courting the online as well as the present audience. "Somebody better be live-tweeting this," he said at one point. "I don't care if Gerry and the Pacemakers attacked the embassy," said O'Reilly a bit later, and in answer Stewart waved expansively at the cameras. "This is on the internet, Bill," he said. "I don't think that's really the reference you want to be making." "Alright then," answered O'Reilly dryly but uncertainly. "I don't care if… um, Little Wayne attacked the embassy."
The most interesting thing really, of course, was what last night said about the debates it emulated: it highlighted the insipid, starchy care with which a Presidential candidate must conduct himself. Last night sparkled with all the ridiculousness and fire that was lacking last Wednesday, because the media pressure on a candidate not to make anything which can be interpreted as a gaffe. Romney's perceived win on Wednesday was because he looked most like Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly did last night: like he was enjoying himself. Facts (arguably) be damned.
Obama looked professorial and staid by comparison, and in an age where the best lines are far more important than the best policies this was fatal. It is Jon Stewart who the President should be running debate-prep with, not John Kerry.
Yeah, this happened. Photo: Getty

The Book of Pastoral Rule
Saint Gregory the Great,
Roman Pontiff,
to John, Bishop of the City of Ravenna.
Part I.
Gregory to his most reverend and most holy brother and fellow-bishop, John.
With kind and humble intent thou reprovest me, dearest brother, for having wished by hiding myself to fly from the burdens of pastoral care; as to which, lest to some they should appear light, I express with my pen in the book before you all my own estimate of their heaviness, in order both that he who is free from them may not unwarily seek them, and that he who has so sought them may tremble for having got them. This book is divided into four separate heads of argument, that it may approach the reader's mind by allegations arranged in order—by certain steps, as it were. For, as the necessity of things requires, we must especially consider after what manner every one should come to supreme rule; and, duly arriving at it, after what manner he should live; and, living well, after what manner he should teach; and, teaching aright, with how great consideration every day he should become aware of his own infirmity; lest either humility fly from the approach, or life be at variance with the arrival, or teaching be wanting to the life, or presumption unduly exalt the teaching. Wherefore, let fear temper the desire; but afterwards, authority being assumed by one who sought it not, let his life commend it. But then it is necessary that the good which is displayed in the life of the pastor should also be propagated by his speech. And at last it remains that, whatever works are brought to perfection, consideration of our own infirmity should depress us with regard to them, lest the swelling of elation extinguish even them before the eyes of hidden judgment. But inasmuch as there are many, like me in unskilfulness, who, while they know not how to measure themselves, are covetous of teaching what they have not learned; who estimate lightly the burden of authority in proportion as they are ignorant of the pressure of its greatness; let them be reproved from the very beginning of this book; so that, while, unlearned and precipitate, they desire to hold the citadel of teaching, they may be repelled at the very door of our discourse from the ventures of their precipitancy.

Thinking of buying or selling a home in 2021?
In normal times, when you're shopping for a home, you take your time, look at several homes, visit Sunday open houses, and decide what fits your needs.
But these are not normal times.
Young parents Jonathan and Tiffany Moore have been outbid on three houses this year so far in their hunt for a home in.
"We found one we love," they said, "but it already had several offers before we even got our offer in."
The Moores' Realtors -- Steven and Denise Taylor -- say buyers need to visit a new listing as soon as the owners allow them in and then make an offer immediately, at the asking price.
"We prepare our clients," Denise Taylor said, "letting them know they need to be prepared to offer over asking price."
Steven Taylor is even blunter. "You can't make a lowball offer," he said. "The list price right now is the floor."
Even then, you can lose out to another buyer who is offering more or paying cash for the house, with no need to qualify for a loan.
"Bubble I have never seen before"
RealtorsShelly Miller Reed and Amy Roe say it's especially tough in trendy neighborhoods.
"I have been in the business 13 years, and we are in a bubble right now that I have never seen before," Reed said.
Roe says homes are getting multiple offers within hours of being listed. "I had a buyer write an offer on a listing that had 32 other offers on the table," she said.
That makes it tough to win a house, even if you are prepared to offer the asking price.
If you are a seller, this market is a dream come true, though it can be a bit overwhelming when offers start coming in every half hour.
If you have a move-in-ready home at the right price, you will probably get multiple offers in a day.
But then where do you go?
"A lot of people right now are choosing to rent," Reed said, " to take advantage of the seller's market, and then see what happens on the other side, in six months or so."
If you rent for a few months, you'll be ready to pounce -- with cash -- when your dream home comes up.
Otherwise, you have to enter the red-hot buying market and start competing with everyone else.
But what if you want to buy it now?
How to win a bidding war
Rocket Mortgage saysto get an edge:
- Have a bank pre-approval letter showing you are approved for that price.
- Add an "escalation" clause that automatically matches other offers that come in after yours and tops them by $1,000.
- Drop contingencies, which means you agree to take the home "as is." The sale cannot be contingent on your selling your current house, as people did in the past.
- Some home buyers even skip the inspection process, although Realtors say that is very risky: it can leave you stuck with a termite-infested home or one falling off its foundation.
- Write a personal, heartfelt letter to the seller, though Reed and Roe say that is not as effective as it used to be, with so many offers coming in at once.
- Work with a licensed Realtor who will hear about upcoming homes before they are listed.
"One of the most important things is to work with an experienced agent," Reed says, "because we hear about homes that are coming up in the next few days."
Denise Taylor says, "We know exactly what is coming on the market, and we can be very aggressive as soon as it is listed."
Team Taylor hopes to give Jonathan and Tiffany a heads-up on the next hot listing, so they can finally be awarded the "sold" sign.
"You are trying to win the race," Jonathan Moore said, "but you don't know where your competitors are on the race track. It's tough."
So what will the future bring?
Realtors hope things improve a bit next spring, as empty-nesters no longer locked in by the pandemic decide to put their homes on the market.
Till then, you need to be prepared to move quickly, so you don't waste your money.

Anthony Alayon: For those who do not know you that well, can you tell us who you are and how you have helped Critical Bench throughout the years?
Ben Tatar: I have been with Critical Bench since 1999 and have written hundreds of training articles and ebooks. I have interviewed hundreds of celebrities, UFC champions, pro athletes, world record holders, bodybuilders and iron greats. I'm also known for attending many conventions and reporting on events.
Anthony Alayon: Moving on to the Olympia. What makes the Olympia weekend great?
Ben Tatar: The Olympia is an amazing event. I will list 10 things that make the Olympia great:
1) The best of the best are always there, the best athletes, celebrities, bodybuilders, powerlifters and strongmen.
2) The Olympia is in Las Vegas. This gives the Olympia a real vacation and glamorous feel.
3) The Olympia Expo is in a big convention, so you have quality time to talk to the stars. I have had more conversations with people at the Olympia than any other event.
4) There is so much to do at the Olympia. There are thousands of people who share your interest, competitive events and entertaining attractions such as the Animal Cage.
5) You have all of Vegas to enjoy, so the opportunities for fun are endless.
6) You see old friends who you don't get to see often. It's like reuniting with a friend in a paradise-like setting.
7) You meet new friends in a great setting.
8) There are great restaurants, casinos and parties.
9) Champions are made.
10) There's lots of great energy everywhere.
Anthony Alayon: How many people show up to this event?
Ben Tatar: There were approximately 40,000 for the Olympia Expo. Also, about 10,000 people show up for the Mr. Olympia competition. Another cool thing about the Olympia is that all the big names past, present and future are there.
Anthony Alayon: What were some of the athletic events that went on during Olympia weekend?
Ben Tatar: There is bodybuilding, powerlifting, bench pressing, arm wrestling, World's Strongest Man, World's Ultimate Athlete competition, cross fit, all types of model searches, mixed martial arts, boxing and even Sumo Wrestling.
Anthony Alayon: Did you compete in any of the events?
Ben Tatar: I competed in the World's Ultimate Athlete competition. This is an event to crown the greatest athlete. Athletes perform events such as a fast ball baseball pitch, a three point shooting contest, throwing footballs through tires and a grueling physical obstacle course. The obstacle course includes carrying things like big logs over boxes, climbing over big walls and pulling sleds.
Anthony Alayon: What was your favorite part of the entire event and why?
Ben Tatar: My favorite moment of the event occurred when I picked up my Media Credential Pass at the Orleans Hotel. As soon as I picked my media credentials, I looked back at all the years I have been going to these events. I thought about the people I planned to see and remembered people who use to go to the events. It was a deep and intense moment for me. Then I walked into Meet the Olympians event, I saw the strongman in the Lobby and my dad with a media credential pass as well. My dad and I were celebrating. The energy around me felt intense. Every moment from these events that I have ever experienced entered my mind simultaneously! I screamed "Yeah, Westy," even though he couldn't hear me. I thought of everyone. I was like "Thank you God," and then I patted myself on the back for my choices. Then I was like, "I'M HERE!" It was a powerful experience, and then I took that energy into a laser-like focus for an amazing weekend.
Anthony Alayon: Tell us a crazy or fun thing that you did during Olympia weekend?
Ben Tatar: I jumped off the tallest building in Las Vegas, the stratosphere. You can see my video below.
Ben Tatar: I'm giving the freak award to WSM all-star, Robert Oberst. He stands at nearly seven feet tall and weighs well over 400lbs. He has a bigger beard than Santa Claus, and he is awesome.
Anthony Alayon: Name us a bodybuilder from the 2013 Olympia who really impressed you and tell us why?
Ben Tatar: I always found Ben White impressive. He is not only an IFBB pro bodybuilding great, but he is also the strongest bodybuilding bench presser of all time.
Anthony Alayon: What are the costs of attending this event if someone wants to go?
Ben Tatar: The Olympia Expo only cost $25 per day. The cost of hotels vary wildly.
Anthony Alayon: Tell us who made history at this year's Olympia weekend event.
Ben Tatar: Phil Heath won the Mr. Olympia competition. In the men's 212lbs bodybuilding competition, James Flex Lewis emerged victorious. The physique professional winner was Mark Anthony Wingson. The Muscle and Fitness model search winner went to Sergi Constance. On the women's side, Iris Kyle became Ms. Olympia. She also set a record for winning more Olympias than anyone in history. This includes surpassing Arnold. The woman physique winner was Dana Linn Bailey. My friend, Nicole Wilkins took the figure again. Adela Garcia won Fitness, and Ashley Kaltwasser won Bikini. In the America's strongest man competition, Brian Shaw made history! Shaw has truly become a strongman champion icon winning these competitions repeatedly! Craig Tullier won the Olympia's Arm Wrestling war.
The heavy weight, Tectar from Norway won the Arm Wrestling heavy weight championship. In Sumo Wrestling, Sumo Dan Kalbfleisch won the Gold. For powerlifting, Henry Thomason was the most impressive heavy weight powerlifter, totaling 2,298lbs. Al Caslow and Micah Marino dominated in the powerlifting 181lbs weight division. Al totaled 1,973lbs and Micah totaled 1,967lbs. April Shumaker prevailed victorious in the female powerlifting division, totaling 914lbs. The best bench presser for the big men was Matt Houser, benching 826lbs. Joe Mazza weighing 181lbs was the most impressive pound for pound bencher as he benched 617lbs. The best female deadlifter was Kristy Scott, as she deadlifted 523lbs. Damon Myers weighing 198lbs won for light lifters, deadlifting 766lbs. The man who deadlifted the most of anyone was heavy weight Brent Willis, deadlifting 881lbs. The Ultimate Athlete Champion was Mark Sayas. Mark was in 14th place after day one, and he made a huge comeback to win the World's Ultimate Athlete competition. As you can tell, lots of people made history in different avenues of iron and athletic excellence during Olympia weekend.
Anthony Alayon: What made this year's Olympia different from other Olympia's?
Ben Tatar: This year's Olympia Expo was in the Northern Hall. That made this year's Olympia the biggest one to date. There are always new faces, celebrities and champions. Therefore, for me, these events never get old, and I will keep returning.

Fall Decorating
When it comes to seasonal decorating, nothing gets me more excited than Fall.
It must be because change is happening all around you. It's a lot like what Spring time does to someone who has been experiencing Winter for so long. Those long cold days that finally see the warmth of Spring, accompanied by the that first sign of new life in a budding flower.
It's exactly the same thing for me after a long hot Summer.
Those first few true days of Fall when I start to see the leaves change colors with all the vibrant oranges and yellows and browns. The crisp cool air that begs you to grab that first hot chocolate or apple cider.
The thought of those endless ideas running through a little child's head of what their imagination tells them they can be for that one special night on Halloween.
I think I enjoy all those Halloween movies more than my own children. I force them to watch the countless reruns of Halloween Town, Halloween Town Part 2, 3, 4……………… so that if someone comes in and catches me, I can blame it on them. It's a good thing no one knows I can recite the entire movie of Hocus Pocus without even thinking about it. Don't tell anyone I told you that!
Freshening up your front entry way can do wonders for your home. I had majority of the items already like the wood box, haystack, and pumpkins. I added a few mums and the corn stalks that I found at Lowes.
Small changes like even painting your front door can really freshen up the space as well. We used a dark gray on our doors that used to be red. I love gray for so many reasons. The best reason is that because it is so neutral, it goes well with any color scheme.
The silk leaves are left overs I had from last season and can be found at any craft store or even places like Walmart.
The window box on the front window got seasonal flowers as well. I couldn't wait to try out this beautiful ornamental kale I found.
I have always seen these in pictures in magazines and as silly as it seems, I just had to get them.
I really love the way they look. It almost seems like they could be Cabbage Patch Kids…….. Admit it! You thought about it. 😉
Whatever you go with for your seasonal decorating, make sure to only use things that you really love! Don't settle for anything else!
Happy Decorating!

We will store the backups in a network share mounted in the backup directory so that in the event of a system-wide crash, you will still be covered.
Installing MySQL / MariaDB / PostgreSQL Databases
1. This guide assumes you must have MySQL / MariaDB / PostgreSQL instance running, If not, please install the following packages:
Fedora-based distributions:
yum update && yum install mariadb mariadb-server mariadb-libs postgresql postgresql-server postgresql-libs
Debian and derivatives:
# aptitude update && aptitude install mariadb-client mariadb-server mariadb-common postgresql-client postgresql postgresql-common
2. You have a testing MySQL / MariaDB / PostgreSQL database that you can use (you are advised to NOT use either automysqlbackup or autopostgresqlbackup in a production environment until you have become acquainted with these tools).
Otherwise, create two sample databases and populate them with data before proceeding. In this article I will use the following databases and tables:
CREATE DATABASE mariadb_db; CREATE TABLE rootadminz_tbl (UserID INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, UserName VARCHAR(50), IsActive BOOL);
CREATE DATABASE postgresql_db; CREATE TABLE rootadminz_tbl ( UserID SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, UserName VARCHAR(50), IsActive BOOLEAN);
Installing automysqlbackup and autopgsqlbackup in CentOS 7 and Debian 8
3. In Debian 8, both tools are available in the repositories, so installing them is as simple as running:
# aptitude install automysqlbackup autopostgresqlbackup
Whereas in CentOS 7 you will need to download the installation scripts and run them. In the sections below we will focus exclusively on installing, configuring, and testing these tools on CentOS 7 since for Debian 8 – where they almost work out of the box, we will make the necessary clarifications later in this article.
Installing and configuring automysqlbackup in CentOS 7
4. Let us begin by creating a working directory inside /opt
to download the installation script and run it:
# mkdir /opt/automysqlbackup # cd /opt/automysqlbackup # wget http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/automysqlbackup/AutoMySQLBackup/AutoMySQLBackup%20VER%203.0/automysqlbackup-v3.0_rc6.tar.gz # tar zxf automysqlbackup-v3.0_rc6.tar.gz # ./install.sh
The configuration file for automysqlbackup is located inside /etc/automysqlbackup under the name myserver.conf. Let's take a look at most relevant configuration directives:
myserver.conf – Configure Automysqlbackup
# Username to access the MySQL server CONFIG_mysql_dump_username='root' # Password CONFIG_mysql_dump_password='YourPasswordHere' # Host name (or IP address) of MySQL server CONFIG_mysql_dump_host='localhost' # Backup directory CONFIG_backup_dir='/var/backup/db/automysqlbackup' # List of databases for Daily/Weekly Backup e.g. ( 'DB1' 'DB2' 'DB3' ... ) # set to (), i.e. empty, if you want to backup all databases CONFIG_db_names=(AddYourDatabase Names Here) # List of databases for Monthly Backups. # set to (), i.e. empty, if you want to backup all databases CONFIG_db_month_names=(AddYourDatabase Names Here) # Which day do you want monthly backups? (01 to 31) # If the chosen day is greater than the last day of the month, it will be done # on the last day of the month. # Set to 0 to disable monthly backups. CONFIG_do_monthly="01" # Which day do you want weekly backups? (1 to 7 where 1 is Monday) # Set to 0 to disable weekly backups. CONFIG_do_weekly="5" # Set rotation of daily backups. VALUE*24hours # If you want to keep only today's backups, you could choose 1, i.e. everything older than 24hours will be removed. CONFIG_rotation_daily=6 # Set rotation for weekly backups. VALUE*24hours. A value of 35 means 5 weeks. CONFIG_rotation_weekly=35 # Set rotation for monthly backups. VALUE*24hours. A value of 150 means 5 months. CONFIG_rotation_monthly=150 # Include CREATE DATABASE statement in backup? CONFIG_mysql_dump_create_database='no' # Separate backup directory and file for each DB? (yes or no) CONFIG_mysql_dump_use_separate_dirs='yes' # Choose Compression type. (gzip or bzip2) CONFIG_mysql_dump_compression='gzip' # What would you like to be mailed to you? # - log : send only log file # - files : send log file and sql files as attachments (see docs) # - stdout : will simply output the log to the screen if run manually. # - quiet : Only send logs if an error occurs to the MAILADDR. CONFIG_mailcontent='quiet' # Email Address to send mail to? (email@example.com) CONFIG_mail_address='root' # Do you wish to encrypt your backups using openssl? #CONFIG_encrypt='no' # Choose a password to encrypt the backups. #CONFIG_encrypt_password='password0123' # Command to run before backups (uncomment to use) #CONFIG_prebackup="/etc/mysql-backup-pre" # Command run after backups (uncomment to use) #CONFIG_postbackup="/etc/mysql-backup-post"
Once you have configured automysqlbackup as per your needs, you are strongly advised to check out the README file found in /etc/automysqlbackup/README.
MySQL Database Backup
6. When you're ready, go ahead and run the program, passing the configuration file as the argument:
# automysqlbackup /etc/automysqlbackup/myserver.conf
A quick inspection of the daily directory will show that automysqlbackup has run successfully:
# pwd # ls -lR daily
Of course, you can add a crontab entry to run automysqlbackup at a time of day that best suits your needs (1:30am every day in the below example):
30 01 * * * /usr/local/bin/automysqlbackup /etc/automysqlbackup/myserver.conf
Restoring a MySQL Backup
7. Now let's drop the mariadb_db database on purpose:
Let's create it again and restore the backup. In the MariaDB prompt, type:
CREATE DATABASE mariadb_db; exit
Then locate:
# cd /var/backup/db/automysqlbackup/daily/mariadb_db # ls
And restore the backup:
# mysql -u root -p mariadb_db < daily_mariadb_db_2015-09-01_23h19m_Tuesday.sql # mysql -u root -p MariaDB [(none)]> USE mariadb_db; MariaDB [(none)]> SELECT * FROM rootadminz_tb1;
Installing and configuring autopostgresqlbackup in CentOS 7
8. In order for autopostgresql to work flawlessly in CentOS 7, we will need to install some dependencies first:
# yum install mutt sendmail
Then let's repeat the process as before:
# mkdir /opt/autopostgresqlbackup # cd /opt/autopostgresqlbackup # wget http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/autopgsqlbackup/AutoPostgreSQLBackup/AutoPostgreSQLBackup-1.0/autopostgresqlbackup.sh.1.0 # mv autopostgresqlbackup.sh.1.0 /opt/autopostgresqlbackup/autopostgresqlbackup.sh
Let's make the script executable and start/enable the service:
# chmod 755 autopostgresqlbackup.sh # systemctl start postgresql # systemctl enable postgresql
Finally, we will edit the value of the backup directory setting to:
After having through the configuration file of automysqlbackup, configuring this tool is very easy (that part of the task is left up to you).
9. In CentOS 7, as opposed to Debian 8, autopostgresqlbackup is best run as the postgres system user, so in order to do that you should either switch to that account or add a cron job to its crontab file:
# crontab -u postgres -e
30 01 * * * /opt/autopostgresqlbackup/autopostgresqlbackup.sh
The backup directory, by the way, needs to be created and its permissions and group ownership must be set recursively to 0770 and postgres (again, this will NOT be necessary for Debian):
# mkdir /var/backup/db/autopostgresqlbackup # chmod -R 0770 /var/backup/db/autopostgresqlbackup # chgrp -R postgres /var/backup/db/autopostgresqlbackup
The result:
# cd /var/backup/db/autopostgresqlbackup # pwd # ls -lR daily
10. Now you can restore the files when needed (remember to do this as user postgres after recreating the empty database):
# gunzip -c postgresql_db_2015-09-02.Wednesday.sql.gz | psql postgresql_db
Considerations in Debian 8
As we mentioned earlier, not only the installation of these tools in Debian is more straightforward, but also their respective configurations. You will find the configuration files in:
- Automysqlbackup: /etc/default/automysqlbackup
- Autopostgresqlbackup: /etc/default/autopostgresqlbackup
