When I was a kid I LOVED playing Monopoly.
There was a strategy I would use that would completely demoralize my opponents – usually my brother and neighborhood boys – but always resulted in my win.
And the occasional overturned table (my wins didn't always go over well).
Throughout the game, when nobody was looking, I would stash some of my money in my socks (fortunately tube socks were "in" back then).
Then, late in the game, when I would have to pay rent on a high end property, and my opponent started rubbing his hands together with excitement because it looked like I was too low in funds to pay, I would nonchalantly whip out a stash of $500s and $100s.
This was very satisfying to me, of course.
I didn't use this strategy every game because I wanted the boys to be on their toes.
Besides, I had other Monopoly strategies I used as well (maybe I'll share those in upcoming posts, as they are applicable to business too).
What are the "money in your socks" aspects of your business?
I'm not necessarily talking about literal money (although that helps too)… or things that make competitors overturn their tables (although that could be fun too)… but things like:
* Colleagues you know you can call on at a moment's notice to get help with a problem.
* Authors, speakers, bloggers who, when you take a break and spend some time with their material, leave you inspired and energized.
* A key piece of software or a never-fail strategy that will help your website rise in the rankings past your competitors.
* An email copywriter on hand who can quick write up some awesome emails for you. 🙂
If you have anything to add to that list, let me know.
Wishing you many "money in the socks" moments in your business and the satisfied feelings that come with them.

Cronjob to shut down an instance
I tried to stop my instance from the webshell, it shuts down but my server dashboard / Turnkey hub shows that the instance is still running although it cannot be accessed anymore.
I also tried to stop it from webmin using cronjob. It shuts down but the server dashboard / Turnkey hub still shows that it is running although my instance is not accessible anymore. So I have to stop my instance from the dashboard.
The command I use is shutdown now P
Do we have to use the server dashboard/Turnkey hub to stop an instance, otherwise how can we use cronjob to stop an instance?
Please help.

Tying in with Troy's asteroid-cam post and John Yoo's comments on "national humiliation" just below, I unleashed some snark about the platinum coin on Forbes today. I apologize for evaporating from Ricochet over the holidays, but the election and its fallout tried my patience, as you may see in my less-than-thrilled response to yet another fantastical bedtime story dreamed up by America's boldest innovators:
I love that Washington has an appreciation for my favorite form of comedy—the absurd—and I am fully prepared to laugh at the nonsense it grafts onto otherwise logical thoughts. Our politicians and pundits should be applauded for their commitment to the act. Of course their original intention was not to entertain, but you can't film these clowns in high-definition and not expect them to start thinking they're stars. We are openly demanding a show and they are only too happy to oblige.
Naturally they are! These are people with a pathological need to be known. Yet we are trusting them to be the kind of large-hearted benefactors that lay personal ambitions aside for a greater good? Spare me this aggressively dim whimsy. Our imaginations are a beautiful gift. It would be better not to abuse them.
We tell children to dream, yes, but we also tell them to have common sense. If someone is able to advocate publicly for a trillion-dollar platinum coin, their parents and teachers only did half their job. Who can type the words "platinum coin" and "solve problem" and not wonder if maybe that would be a good idea for a screenplay? Fiction is not the statesman's milieu, though, so our legislators (and sideline commentators) can stop posing.
Perhaps you will argue that this plot of the next James Bond film is a legitimate way of averting our horrifically inevitable doom. Well, the front page of theWashington Post this morning featured three pictures of apocalyptic weather events with the headline that things are getting hotter and drier, so please don't ask me to worry about multiple disaster scenarios in one day.

Author Notes: I tweaked the recipe a bit, but it's pretty much the same as what you may find in the original recipe. I just didn't have sesame oil, or chili paste. Instead, I used Sriracha sauce. Oh sweet sweet (hot hot hot) sauce. So good. You maybe bought it before for a recipe, and now is a great time to bust it out again. I also added in about 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs as they weren't coming together as well as I would have liked. —goodspoon
Makes 20 meatballs
- 1/3 cup minced green onions
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha Sauce
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
- 1 pound ground sirloin
- 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
- Preheat oven to 400. Combine first 7 ingredients in a bowl. Add beef, take off any rings you have on, and mix together, adding panko (as much as needed) so that it comes together well.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet and add half the meatballs. Let them cook about 3-4 minutes per side, then place on a cooking sheet coated with cooking spray.
- Bake for 7 minutes, until done. Serve over some orzo like we did, and enjoy!

Opponents of Alexandria's planned waterfront redevelopment vow to keep fighting as the City Council tries a do-over of last year's controversial vote.
Their outcry stems from an announcement that city officials will vote a second time on the waterfront plan, first passed last year, to appease naysayers who have stalled the project with lawsuits since its inception.
But Andrew Macdonald, a leader of Citizens for an Alternative Alexandria Waterfront Plan and former council member, said the idea was just a stunt for the city to gets its way and doesn't rectify his complaints.
"They've still not made a serious effort to work with the community and listen to their visions for the waterfront," Macdonald said. "This is clearly an attempt to get through what they feel should've been approved a long time ago."
Over the next few weeks, Macdonald said he will encourage community members to show up in force to make their concerns -- including building height, traffic and density -- known to lawmakers who have "thwarted the public process" since drafting the plan decades ago.
City officials thought the plan had finally come to fruition when the City Council voted 5-2 to pass it last January, but its opponents immediately cried foul, saying they had filed a protest petition that requires a supermajority, or six votes, for it to pass.
The disagreement led to a lawsuit, which is still tied up in court, and has delayed the city's plans to lure developers to build hotels, restaurants and green space along the Potomac.
But Alexandria officials want to resolve the lawsuit more quickly, and believe they can do so by ordering City Manager Rashad Young to rewrite part of the city's zoning law to better explain the criteria officials use when allowing redevelopment.
This will allow the plan to go back through the Planning Commission, and ultimately the council, where members will revote -- likely with a supermajority because new, pro-waterfront members have been elected -- to move the city's vision forward.
"There will always be folks who don't want anything done to the waterfront," Mayor Bill Euille said. "The reality of it all is it's time to act."
Bert Ely, an opponent of the project who is involved with the pending lawsuit, said he planned to assess the wording of plan, expected to be finalized later this month, before determining his next step.
The project is expected to go before the Planning Commission on March 5 and the City Council on March 16.

Tampa, FL (PRWEB) April 30, 2013
Shaun C. Robinson CEO of Strong College Students Moving was recently awarded for being the 29th fastest growing University of South Florida Alumni owned business. Robinson is also the youngest minority franchiser in the country and recipient of numerous business awards over his career.
The USF Fast 56 Awards are awarded to the fastest growing business among the University's Alumni. The Entrepreneurship of USF's alumni leads to new businesses opening globally every year. In order to qualify the award the business must be at least three years old and a USF Alumni must chair or own the company during the eligibility period. The company must also demonstrate a quarter million or more in revenue during the previous 12 months. Selected companies are ranked by percentage of cumulative annual growth in sales or revenue (net of returns) from January 1, 2010 to August 31, 2013. The USF Fast 56 also serves as a forum for mentorship to the future generation of USF entrepreneurs.
Strong College Students Moving is a national moving franchise led by USF alumni and entrepreneur Shaun C. Robinson. Robinson has been recognized as the 2009 Outstanding Young Alumni at the University of South Florida, a BE NEXT Awards 2012 finalist for Black Enterprise Magazine, and recipient of the Tampa Bay Business Journal 2011 Up and Comers Award.
Strong College Students offers full service moving for corporate and residential clients. The company is staffed with hard working students from local colleges and universities. Other services offered include storage, item donation and removal, deliveries, moving supplies, boxes, and corporate relocations. A portion of every move is contributed to the Strong Scholars Scholarship Fund which helps student's offset the rising cost of college.
Strong College Students Moving has been expanding services and hiring at its headquarters in Tampa, FL. Opportunity for investment is steadily growing in this industry and franchises in premium territories still remain as investor interest rises with the improving economy.
"We understand that moving is a competitive industry," said Robinson, "but we have the right formula for marketing and a superior service experience that gives us a distinct advantage in any economic climate. Regardless of the economy couples get married, families grow and blossom, and workers retire. There will always be an inspiration to move."

Rangers boss Mark Warburton may still bring another forward to Ibrox this summer.
Rangers manager Mark Warburton celebrates after being promoted to the Scottish Premiership
Rangers manager Mark Warburton has told The Scottish Sun that he could bring another striker to the club this summer - even if Leicester City's Joe Dodoo signs.
The Gers boss has added to his goalkeeper options by bringing in former Scotland international Matt Gilks, whilst the versatile Clint Hill and Lee Hodson have added depth in defence.
With midfielder Matt Crooks, Jordan Rossiter, Joey Barton, Josh Windass and Niko Kranjcar signed to strengthen the midfield, Warburton has done a great job of adding to his squad this summer - but one area he's yet to address is in attack.
Given that Martyn Waghorn and Kenny Miller hit a combined 49 goals last season, the need for more firepower may not be seen as huge for Rangers, but Warburton is keen to have options at his disposal ahead of the club's return to the Scottish Premiership.
A host of strikers have been linked with moves to Ibrox, but Warburton appears to be closing in on the signature of Leicester City youngster Joe Dodoo.
The 21-year-old has come up through the ranks at Leicester and showed his talent last season with a hat-trick againtst Bury in the Capital One Cup - which happened to be his first-team debut for the Foxes.
Pacey forward Dodoo can play out wide or up front, and manager Warburton confirmed to BBC Sport earlier today that a move to sign Dodoo is close to completion, with the player out of contract at Leicester and therefore able to make the move to Ibrox in a cut-price compensation deal.
However, that might not stop Warburton from targeting another striker. The Gers manager told The Scottish Sun that, even if Dodoo signs, he still wants to bring in another goalscorer to add competition for places across the pitch, suggesting that Dodoo may well be one for the future rather than immediate competition for leading goalscorer Waghorn.
"We still need one or two more, even if we get Dodoo — possibly a defender and another striker," said Warburton. "All over the pitch we have competition for places now, which wasn't the case last season. We're still looking and we'll react to opportunities. We maybe need one more striker," he added.
Would you like to see Rangers sign another striker this summer?

I have nearly the same story. I have had a vibration in the front for a little while now. I did notice a little cupping on the front tires and thought that might have been the culprit.

Indoor plants require attention. You are the weather system. Sadly, I often forget to water the plants I am trying to grow indoors. I have created many an artificial drought from inattention. I get busy with my daily life and soon I have a sad, little wilted plant that is past the point of saving.
We became interested in passive watering systems for this reason. Spending the time at the beginning of indoor plant stewardship to address how it will be watered prevents a tragic end in the future.
A personal favorite is the string method. Put a string in the bottom of the container when you are initially potting the plant, poking a hole in the bottom to pull the string through. Then place the first container inside a slightly larger container half-filled with water. The string hangs down, sucking up water into your plant's root system. This waters your plant for weeks while you go about your business. Perfect for those who are ecologically minded, yet forgetful.
Recently, we added another great passive water system to our kitchen. The Dish Drying Rack Herb Garden Watering System.
Brett built the simple wooden rack over our kitchen sink to hold dishes as while they are drying.
The shelf has thin slats that let water from the damp dishes drip on to the basil, dill, rosemary, thyme, and cilantro plants sitting below.
The plants get plenty of sunlight from the kitchen window and water from the dishes above done three times a day. This new kitchen system is working for us on several levels–practical, aesthetic, and functional.

Wilmington, CA-based Nautilus International Holding Corp., which holds Metropolitan Stevedore Co., Metro Cruise Services LLC, and other businesses, recently announced its purchase of the Savannah International Terminal (SIT).
SIT comprises a 14.85-acre tract on the south side of the Savannah River, including a deep-water private slip. The terminal contains a 255,000 square foot warehouse and has direct rail and highway access.
Currently, SIT offers export and import bulk and breakbulk stevedore and marine terminal services as well as bagging services. The facility specializes in the export of clay; however, planned terminal improvements will expand the range of bulk cargo capabilities.
'We are excited about our purchase of SIT,' said Nautilus CEO James Callahan. 'Our experience in handling dry bulk commodities will allow us to grow this facility to handle a wide variety of bulk cargoes. The purchase of SIT in Savannah, GA, along with our current operations in Wilmington, NC, further enhances our presence on the East Coast.'

It's National Nude Day. So how do you celebrate this special holiday? It's as simple as the title, you parade around in nothing but your birthday suit. The only problem is that you'll probably get arrested for celebrating in public, unless you're on a nude beach where they celebrate nude day everyday.

Dallas—CUSP by Neiman Marcus announced today the launch of "Make Some Noise," campaign that celebrates the most fearless, bold and fashionable women transforming the pop culture, fashion and music landscapes.

I recently purchased Google's Chromecast. For only $35 dollars, I wasn't expecting much out of it, no matter what others kept telling me. I'd also been looking at new TV's and wanted one with internet access like those features on SMART TV's. The problem with that is I usually get buyer's remorse the moment I buy something, so if the Chromecast could save me a few hundred bucks on a SMART TV by just plugging it into a reasonably priced one, I'm down.
It came in the mail the other day, I plugged it in, installed some apps, and it's easily one of the best purchasing decisions I've made this year when it comes to electronics. I've recommended it to at least a dozen people to the point where I'm starting to get annoying. Anyway, here are some of the must-have apps to get if you get the Chromecast.
1. Netflix
It's a no brainer that if you buy Chromecast, one of the first apps you download for it is Netflix. The moment you install it and start playing movies and television shows, you'll look at your cable box and the feeling of cutting the cord will overwhelm you. Netflix now has Chromecast support, so it will make things a lot easier to stream House of Cards for an entire weekend.
2. Google Cast
Google Cast allows you to take what you have going on in your Chrome browser, and bring it to your television. That little button on the YouTube video screen throws what you have playing on to your TV. It also has the same button on the top right of your Chrome browser so you can cast websites and videos.
3. Crackle
Crackle is a completely free streaming service where you can find your favorite movies and tv shows and stream them from your laptop or off your Android/iOS device. It does include some ads when you watch stuff, but they're not long enough to make you forget what you were just watching. I'm looking at you, network TV.
4. YouTube
With the YouTube app, you can stream YouTube through your browser and on to your TV, or you can just get the app that is created specifically for it and cut out the middle man. You can use it through your browser or your Android/iOS.

Cuil Fail: Traffic Nearly Hits Rock Bottom
Remember the ill-fated Google-killer Cuil? Named 'Cuill' and very much in stealth mode for the first part of the year, they finally emerged end of July 2008 with a 'massive' search engine that would rival the most popular search engines of our time with an enormous index, an innovative interface and some nifty features. Rival, it never did. The launch of the search… Read More
And….Cuil Goes Offline
The new Cuil search engine apparently got a bit more traffic than the team anticipated immediately after launch a couple of hours ago. Everyone is trying it out to decide for themselves how disruptive it may be to the old guard search guys. For now, you'll have to wait, a message on the site says "We'll be back soon…Due to overwhelming interest, our Cuil servers are… Read More
Cuil Exits Stealth Mode With A Massive Search Engine
Menlo Park based Cuil will launch later this evening with an index of 120 billion web pages, making them arguably the most comprehensive search engine on the web (Google doesn't disclose the size of their index, although they claim to know about a trillion unique web pages) (Update: see our very early testing here). They've also dropped one of the "l's" from… Read More
Stealth Search Engine Blekko Gets Money From Marc Andreessen, SoftTech
2008 is the year of the search engine startup. Hot on the heels of Powerset's partial launch earlier this week, stealth search engine Blekko (no logo, no website, just this and, apparently, some technology) raised a second round of financing. The company raised $3 million in equity at a $23 million post-money valuation. All previous investors participated, and new investors Marc… Read More
Cuill Secures $25M More For Next Generation Search
Cuill, a stealth search engine company we first covered in September, has raised $25M in a Series B round led by Madrone Capital Partners and joined by Tugboat Ventures and Greylock Partners. Not a whole lot is known about Cuill except that it apparently can index the web at 1/10th the cost of Google. The startup was founded by search experts, two of which came from Google. It has been… Read More
Powerset Will Launch In Coming Weeks
San Francisco based Powerset will be publicly launching a long-awaited beta version of the service in the coming weeks, the company told me yesterday. They are working on a new kind of search engine that will understand natural language searches and compete with keyword matching engines that dominate search today. An early version of the search engine, which was demo'd to me yesterday… Read More
The Next Google Search Challenger: Blekko
Rich Skrenta, who created the first computer virus (Elk Cloner), co-founded the Open Directory Project, and co-founded online news site Topix, may have bitten off the biggest challenge of his career – taking on Google.

Greylock Partners Invests In Stealth Search Engine Cuill
We got (at least) one thing wrong when we wrote about super-stealth search startup Cuill last week. We said we believed the company self funded after searching for venture capital. But we now have it from two solid sources that they actually raised a $4 million Series A round from Greylock Partners, with partner David Strohm taking a board seat. Cuill, which was founded by husband and wife… Read More
Cuill: Super Stealth Search Engine; Google Has Definitely Noticed
The murmurs about new stealth search engine Cuill (pronounced "cool"), which were barely a whisper earlier this year, are gaining strength and are starting to reverberate through Silicon Valley gatherings. Expect Powerset-like hype to begin forming around Cuill in the next few months. The company just recently put up a landing page with very basic information. The company's… Read More

Mumbai: Filmmakers accuse each other of threats, extortion over unfinished film
An untitled and unreleased film has become the centre of a bitter clash between a film editor and a producer, with both accusing each other of threatening and extortion in a plot that seems worthy of a movie itself
An untitled and unreleased film has become the centre of a bitter clash between a film editor and a producer, with both accusing each other of threatening and extortion in a plot that seems worthy of a movie itself. The dispute is between film editor Dilip Deo — who has worked on films like No Entry, Jodha Akbar and Wanted — and filmmaker Mohammad Urf Dahak, who worked together on an unfinished project a few years ago, after which, the two parted on a bitter note.
Film editor Dilip Deo
"I was assigned to work for four months and was supposed to get Rs 8 lakh. However, he made me work for 18 months and paid just Rs 10 lakh. In 2014, I registered a case with the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) for non-payment of my dues, because the producer can't just pay me Rs 2 lakh for 10 extra months I worked," said Deo.
On January 11, Deo was invited to a Lokhandwala café by one Ashok Saxena to discuss a new project. But when he reached the meeting point, he was accosted by two policemen from Madhya Pradesh, who allegedly dragged him to a waiting Innova and threatened him with dire consequences unless he coughed up Rs 10 lakh and gave it to Dahak.
Deo alleged the producer was also there, albeit in a Skoda that was a little ahead. Dahak and the MP cops then drove Deo to Seven Bungalows, threatening him along the way. "They also came to my house near Oshiwara Industrial Centre and warned me pay R10 lakh to Dahak again. Later at night, my wife, Madhumita Roy, went to the Bangur Nagar police station and registered a complaint," alleged Deo, adding that he had to be admitted to BSES Brahmakumari Hospital due to the injury he had sustained to his neck when he was dragged in to the car.
Plot twist
The Bangur Nagar police collected CCTV footage from Deo's building and confirmed that Dahak and two cops had indeed gone there. However, there is more to the story than meets the eye.
PI Deepak Pathankar of Bangur Nagar police station said, "Yes, the Madhya Pradesh police had come to arrest Deo as they have a warrant against him. The mistake was to not inform the Mumbai police."
When mid-day contacted Dahak, he said it wasn't him making the threats but Deo. "Whatever he is claiming is a lie. I had filed a case against him in Madhya Pradesh because I got a threat call from him when I was there earlier this month. He was demanding money from me even though I had already given him the full payment. He can't ask for payment month-wise, because the amount had been decided for the entire project. Now, he is trying to escape arrest by getting hospitalised," Dahak alleged.

Marty is Bray's success story
Waters wins Player of the Year
BRAY WANDERERS toasted a ninth successive successful Premier Division campaign at the Royal Hotel on Friday night.
The Seagulls had their annual end of season awards ceremony and celebrated yet another campaign that saw them retain their status as a team in the League of Ireland's top flight.
The Carlisle Grounds club began the calendar year without a single player on the books at the seaside venue but Pat Devlin once again worked his magic to assemble a squad capable of competing and that squad included a certain Mr. Jason Byrne.
The season began at an unprecedented early time of Saturday, February 11, as the Seagulls dipped their toes into the Setanta Cup for the first time and it ended on Friday, October 26.
Kieran 'Marty' Waters was the success story of the season; exploding onto the scene with a brace in the first leg of the Setanta Cup and he continued to terrorise defences throughout the year and it was for those reasons that he earned the player of the year crown.
Pierce Sweeney was an even bigger success story but for different reasons as the prodigious defender was snapped up by Reading during the summer and in a very nice gesture, the Seagulls fans voted him the young player of the season despite his premature exit from the club in favour of the Madejski Stadium.
Club legend Jason Byrne scooped the top goalscorer award while rookie goalkeeper Stephen McGuinness picked up the U-19 player of the year.
McGuinness wasn't the only goalkeeper to scoop a gong on the night, with Brian Kane collecting the clubman of the year, while die-hard supporter and absolute gentleman Brendan Harmon's dedication was recognised as he was bestowed with the honour of club person of the year.
Byrne, Waters, Darren Quigley and Sean Houston were also presented with their player of the month awards on the night.

Tufted Doors for the Home
Padded doors seem institutional. But tufted doors are downright classy. Here's a look at a funky and unique way to dress up the basic household door.
Finding a tufted door may prove to be difficult. You can always scour flea markets and antique stores, but your best bet is to contact a local designer who can have one specially made.
Dennisjudd posted some how-to instructions to make your own, but it's serious carpentry and you may end up in a different kind of padded room.
For tuft with less commitment, the 5th image is Rose Cumming's iconic Wallpaper Fournir.

Bangladesh garment factory owners surrender over deadly fire
Owners of a Bangladesh garment factory were denied bail on Sunday after surrendering to a court which sought their arrest over the country's worst industrial fire that killed 111 workers
Dhaka: Owners of a Bangladesh garment factory were denied bail on Sunday after surrendering to a court which sought their arrest over the country's worst industrial fire that killed 111 workers.
Jail time: If convicted, Delwar Hossain, the owner of the garment factory, will face a maximum sentence of life in prison. Hossain is probably the first owner who has been charged over a fire in the factory. The blaze was considered the country's deadliest, killing over 100 people. File Pics/AFP
Delwar Hossain and his wife Mahmuda Akter handed themselves in to the magistrates court almost six weeks after it issued warrants for their arrest over the 2012 blaze that gutted the Tazreen factory.
"The court rejected their bail prayers and sent them to jail," said prosecutor Anwarul Kabir, as more than 100 people protested outside the court to demand the couple's conviction.
Although warrants were issued on December 31, police have not arrested Hossain and Akter who have been charged over the tragedy at the factory where workers stitched clothes for Western retailers including Walmart.
It was not clear why the couple, who have been been living freely in Dhaka despite the warrants, decided to give themselves up to the court on Sunday.
The pair are among 13 people, including factory managers and security guards, charged with arson, culpable homicide not amounting to murder, and death by negligence over the tragedy.
All face a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted. Hossain has been accused of breaching construction rules including building unsafe and narrow staircases.
On November 24, 2012, a fire broke out in the Tazreen Fashion factory, killing 111 people, making it the deadliest factory fire in the nation's history. The fire was initially presumed to be caused by an electrical short circuit

Chris Rimmer of the Vermont Center for Ecostudies invited me to join him on Mount Mansfield while he banded Bicknell's Thrushes as part of an ongoing (20+ year) project. We were joined by Kent McFarland and Pat Johnson of VCE. It was foggy when we arrived, and as the afternoon and evening wore on it got foggier and darker, except for a brief clearing between 7:30 and 8:30 pm. The three from VCE set up mist nets on narrow, wet trails while I tried to get photos. Soon birds (mostly Bicknell's Thrushes and Blackpoll Warblers) were captured and the measuring, documenting, and banding action started. Around 7:30 I walked back to our luxury accommodations (sleeping on a dirty cement floor of a ski patrol hut) and got some "sunset" photos including the one below looking down into Smuggler's Notch.
The rest of the team arrived back well after dark at around 10 pm (these guys are dedicated). They brought back 7 cloth bags of birds to spend the night with us. Seems you can't release a bird in the dark and they do fine sleeping for the night in the bags. We watched to the NBA finals until around 11 pm (they watched and ate dinner and I listened while trying to sleep). The next morning we slept until 3:45, and by 4:00 we were driving the half mile or so up a very dark and very foggy narrow dirt road on the top of a mountain. Interesting experience.
They immediately started to work on the bagged birds, but soon Chris came into "camp" with a male Bicknell's on which they had placed a solar geolocator the previous summer. Chris was pleased and excited. That is him to the left holding the bird with the geolocator. It was the first geolocator return to Vermont ever and the thrush was still carrying the miniature backpack, which they removed to retrieve its data. That morning they placed new geolocators on that bird and 8 others. Data from these tiny devices tell much about the individual songbird migration routes and over-wintering areas. When the activity slowed a bit, coffee was brewed and breakfast wolfed down.
Late morning the fog lifted a bit but the birds stopped coming to the nets or doing much else interesting. Eventually they took down the nets and we returned to out "hotel" for a late lunch. There, after lunch, I wondered down a ski slope and with help from Pat acting as my ears and brain, I finally got a decent shot of a Bicknell's that was not being held in someone's hand. Plus a Golden-crowned Kinglet appeared, a special extra treat.
We finally departed mid-afternoon in the bright sunshine. But rain was soon to appear on the mountain and wash away our footprints, but not my memories of 24 hours well spent. A more scientific report of the trip is found HERE.
Here is a slide show from this trip that includes a very faint photo of a Bicknell's in the fog.

Crowds may flock to see the Mona Lisa, but I always head first to Étienne-Maurice Falconet's L'Amour Menaçant, which sits in the much quieter sculpture wing. This 1757 sculpture charmed me so much when I first visited, in 2007, that I returned to Australia to write a dissertation on it.
Falconet's sculpture depicts Cupid as a lifelike child, older than a baby yet younger than an adolescent, holding a finger to his mouth as he reaches to pull out an arrow. You can walk around the sculpture in the Louvre, and in the process Cupid goes from sweetly silent to threatening silent as he draws out the arrow before your eyes, perhaps about to aim it at another gallery visitor.
I'm not the only person to have been this impressed by Falconet's Cupid. Madame de Pompadour, the original owner, was so enamoured of her new acquisition that she had Falconet make a second copy. She displayed one in her foyer and another in her garden.
In the end, Falconet made three full-size versions of L'Amour Menaçant. They now stand like ambassadors in some of the world's best art museums. There's one in the Hermitage and one in the Rijksmuseum. On top of this, you can see Falconet's sculpture painted by Fragonard in The Happy Hazards of the Swing (in the Wallace Collection, London) and the porcelain factory at Sevres mass-produced smaller copies for those who lusted after Madame de Pompadour's prize possession.
Cupid, playful yet dangerous, was a central God to eighteenth century art. In earlier times he had been either moral allegory or decorative feature, often shown as a passive indicator of romantic theme or as mischievous toddler scolded by his mother, Venus.
In Falconet's sculpture, Cupid is an independent actor. He is a child with adult knowledge, both mischievous, toying with those around him, and powerful, as the quiver he reaches for reminds audiences.
He is secretive, and the finger to the lips suggests a command to viewers, too, to hold the silence. This silencing gesture shows he is aware of his own abilities, but still he acts as he pleases, playing no heed to social niceties. The contrast between Cupid's infancy and calculation heightens his power, marking him as god rather than child.
Cupid's ability to capture the excitement and threat of pleasure, powerfully felt yet ultimately defeated by time, made him relevant to an aristocratic society preoccupied with the transience of pleasure. In the late 17th and early 18th centuries, under Louis XIV and XV, the aristocracy were stripped of political power and distracted with luxuries. The period was one of increased licentiousness and escapism, but while extra-marital affairs became a badge of pride for the powerful, social codes were still strict.
Cupid's moral ambiguity appealed. He warned audiences of the dangers brought about through his games of temporal desire whilst simultaneously reassuring society that surrender to his power was natural and unavoidable, a means of pleasurable escape. Cupid allowed his followers to absolve themselves of individual responsibility.
Madame de Pompadour, though, bought Falconet's L'Amour Menaçant, after she saw it as a plaster model at the 1755 salon. In 1750, Pompadour's status changed from King's mistress to King's friend. Madame de Pompadour regularly used her art purchases to regulate her image and so, after this, many of the pieces she commissioned focused on elevating the status of friendship in court.
Why, then, a sculpture depicting Cupid, a symbol of physical love?
It's likely that Madame de Pompadour used the popular figure as an agent for gaining power. By owning Cupid, and a popular version of Cupid by a celebrated sculptor, she was securing his power and branding it with the Pompadour name. Cupid, an unruly god, became her subordinate.
In addition to this, Cupid's silencing gesture is key. Pompadour initially changed the piece's name fromL'Amour Menaçant to L'Amour Silencieux. The finger to the lips suggests discretion being exercised with regard to intimate affairs and Madame de Pompadour surely would have sought to discourage gossip following her change in position.
Over 250 years later, this Cupid won't give up her secrets.
In the Louvre, a smaller piece by Falconet shows Galatea as she comes to life before Pygmalion's eyes. The subject, taken from Ovid, was a popular one in the eighteenth century. Falconet's version tries to answer an interesting question: how do you depict a marble sculpture coming to life through the medium of sculpture?
In Pygmalion et Galatea, Falconet's answer involves a plinth, a small Cupid and naturalistic rendering, but L'Amour Menaçant can also be seen as a response to Ovid. Falconet's Cupid is a lifelike young boy made from cold, dead marble. Even the hairs on the feathers of his wings are finely chiselled. In this corner of the Louvre, it's not Venus magically bringing a sculpture to life; it's the sculptor, himself, giving life to a god through his own craftsmanship.

You risk gaining weight just by watching this show. But never mind. "Hamburger America," a guided tour and celebration of the nation's most beloved dish, is the perfect way to close the Fourth of July weekend (8 p.m. EDT Monday on Sundance Channel).
Filmmaker and burger-lover George Motz hits eight of the nation's best burger joints - from Santa Fe, N.M., to New Haven, Conn.
In Sedalia, Mo., he visits the Wheel Inn Drive-In, which since 1948 has served the Guberburger - a grilled patty topped with melted peanut butter. Solly's Grille in Glendale, Wis., is famous for its Butter Burger: ground beef topped with a huge dollop of butter.
The film takes us to the Billy Goat Tavern in Chicago, made famous by John Belushi on "Saturday Night Live," where the menu says "Cheezeborger, Cheezeborger," just as that glorious word is pronounced there.
But maybe the most notable eatery of all is Dyer's in Memphis, where they have been deep-frying ground beef in the same skillet of grease for more than 90 years. At least they strain it daily.
Other shows to look out for:
- Also Monday at 8 p.m., PBS presents "A Capitol Fourth," aired live from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol (check local listings). Marking its 25th year, this holiday event stars Gloria Estefan, the Beach Boys, the O'Jays, and Irish tenor Ronan Tynan joining host Barry Bostwick, with the National Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Erich Kunzel. There'll be fireworks, too, of course - plus Tchaikovsky's rousing "1812 Overture," complete with live cannon fire.
- "America is like a fraternity," says comedian Carlos Mencia, "and in order to join our country, you must get hazed." Clearly Mencia wants to be the pledge chairman, as he demonstrates on "Mind of Mencia." He seems to spare no one and no group as he makes fun of ethnic stereotypes, race relations, immigration and other facts of American life. The half-hour variety-comedy series is shot in the studio before an audience as well as on location, and includes parodies of commercials, including one for Verizoon of Iraq, which, set in war-torn Baghdad, spoofs the "Can you hear me now?" campaign: "Just because you're penniless doesn't mean you can't go wireless." The show premieres 10:30 p.m. Wednesday on Comedy Central.
- The year is 1864 and the young men of the First Michigan Cavalry find themselves stranded in the Virginia forest, outnumbered and injured. But the regiment receives an inspiring gift when a soldier's beloved mare gives birth unexpectedly. That's the premise of "The Colt," a film airing on Hallmark Channel set against the backdrop of the Civil War. Then, when orders are given to shoot the foal, lest it encumber the brigade, the soldier refuses. Born into the devastation of war, the colt is spared as a symbol of hope, leading the tattered warriors on a journey of self-discovery. Starring Ryan Merriman, "The Colt" airs 9 p.m. Saturday.
- Sometime persuasion requires "rabid ideas," declares John Cale of the Velvet Underground. "You're really trying to be polite about it and say, 'Hey, don't you get it?' But generally they don't, and then you have to push the boundaries." That helps sum up the ethos of punkdom as covered in "PUNK: attitude," an eye-opening, sometimes ear-piercing documentary that premieres 10 p.m. Saturday on the IFC Channel. Made by filmmaker Don Letts, the disc jockey at arguably the first punk club, Manhattan's Roxy, "PUNK: attitude" has remarkable performance footage from those days, as well as current commentary from knowledgeable veterans including Tommy Ramone, Glen Matlock (the Sex Pistols), Mick Jones (the Clash), Chrissie Hynde (the Pretenders), Henry Rollins (Black Flag), David Johansen (New York Dolls), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), Siouxie Sioux (the Banshees) and filmmaker Jim Jarmusch.

ALEXCIOUS is a global shopping destination where you can purchase and deliver wherever you are in the world.
Supervised by Marutake Sangyo which currently makes more than 90% of armor in Japan. Marutake is the top provider of authentic armor to the entertainment industry etc. Their craftsmanship skills and our 3D modeling technology were brought together to create this high-precision armor model series.
Third in our miniature armor model series is Sanada Yukimura. Yukimura is famous as the man who was feared by the ruler of Japan ("Tenka-bito"), Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Sanada Yukimura (1567-1615) was a warlord who fought well in the Siege of Osaka during the Sengoku period (or Warring States period from mid-15th to early 17th century). His troops repeatedly charged the large army of Tokugawa Ieyasu which was positioned to the south of Osaka Castle, threatening Ieyasu's main war camp. It is believed that Yukimura's attacks were so fierce that Ieyasu had prepared for death many times.
His armor was intentionally colored bright red so as to stand out on the battlefield. This is surely a sign of his strength. Yukimura is always the most popular warlord among samurai fans, and we have already received many pre-orders for this model. Be sure to order yours soon!
