In the case of postponement of delivery for any of the foregoing reasons the Buyer shall be liable for any increased costs incurred as a result of any such delay.
4.5. If the Buyer being an incorporated company shall have a Receiver appointed, or shall pass a resolution for winding-up (other than a winding-up for the purposes of or in connection with any amalgamation or reconstruction, the terms of which shall not be unreasonably withheld) or a Court shall make an order to that effect, or not being an incorporated company shall have a Receiving Order made against him or enter into any composition or arrangement with his creditors, then the Seller may, without prejudice to his other rights, terminate the contract by written notice.

6.1.1. Act of God, strike, lockout, or other labour dispute, fire, flood or drought, anomalous working conditions, accidents to machinery, delays en route.

8.2. Where the goods supplied are resold by the Buyer and at the time of such resale the property in such goods has not passed to the Buyer, the proceeds of such resales (or other assets into which such proceeds have been converted) will be held by the Buyer in the fiduciary capacity on trust for the Seller, and the Buyer will account to the Seller for the same to the extent necessary to pay the Seller for the goods supplied (and any other sums due to the Seller under this or any other contract).
8.3. Until such time as the legal and equitable title to the goods supplied has passed to the Buyer or until resale, whichever first happens, the Buyer will store the goods so that they are clearly identifiable as being the Seller's property.

Blackberry Green Grape Pie
I picked through the Oregon Fruit cans my friend Terri sent me, and thought grapes might be fun. As I placed them in the bowl with the blackberries, Scott turned around and I swear he rolled his eyes as he gave me his, "That's going to be really weird and gross." look and "Laura's wasting our hard earned blackberries."
Being used to such looks, I proceeded anyway. I let the pie cool and took it up to my parents' place where everyone bravely took a very small piece. They thought the idea was bizarre as well. However, a small piece turned into multiple pieces and even my dessert avoiding dad went back for seconds and thirds.
In short, this pie was AMAZING! The grapes stayed plump and the pie was so perfect and juicy. They also gently added sweetness to the blackberry flavor without taking anything away from the stars of the pie.
And poor Dishboy, he never did get a piece, but I'll be making this pie again soon. I might offer him a sliver if he's lucky.
Blackberry Green Grape Pie
Printer Version
It sounds a little strange to purchase a can of green grapes, but it's the syrup you're after. It makes the pie juicy and flavorful.
1 egg white
1 teaspoon water
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 can (15 ounces) Oregon Fruit Seedless Thompson Grapes in Light Syrup
3 cups blackberries
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 double pie crust
2 tablespoons butter
1. Move the oven rack to the lower quarter of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees. In a small bowl mix together the egg white and water, set aside.
2. Mix together the sugar, flour and salt in a small bowl and set aside. Do not skip this step or you'll have starch lumps.
3. Place the grapes with the syrup in a large bowl. Add the blackberries, white vinegar, almond extract, vanilla extract and sugar mixture. Toss together and set aside.
4. Place a dough in a 9" pie dish. Brush with egg wash. Pour in the fruit and dot with butter. Top with the other dough and crimp and seal pie. Brush the top with egg white, sprinkle with sugar and cut vents in the top.
5. Bake pie for 30 minute. Reduce heat to 375 degrees, cover with a pie shield and bake 20 to 30 minutes or until pie is bubbly and bottom crust is golden. Cool for several hours before serving.

from the twentieth chapter.
1–3. "And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a chain in his hand. And he held the dragon, that old serpent, which is called the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and cast him into the abyss, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed a little season."] Those years wherein Satan is bound are in the first advent of Christ, even to the end of the age; and they are called a thousand, according to that mode of speaking, wherein a part is signified by the whole, just as is that passage, "the word which He commanded for a thousand generations,"23102310 Ps. cv. 8. although they are not a thousand. Moreover that he says, "and he cast him into the abyss," he says this, because the devil, excluded from the hearts of believers, began to take possession of the wicked, in whose hearts, blinded day by day, he is shut up as if in a profound abyss. And he shut him up, says he, and put a seal upon him, that he should not deceive the nations until the thousand years should be finished. "He shut the door upon him," it is said, that is, he forbade and restrained his seducing those who belong to Christ. Moreover, he put a seal upon him, because it is hidden who belong to the side of the devil, and who to that of Christ. For we know not of those who seem to stand whether they shall not fall, and of those who are down it is uncertain whether they may rise. Moreover, that he says that he is bound and shut up, that he may not seduce the nations, the nations signify the Church, seeing that of them it itself is formed, and which being seduced, he previously held until, he says, the thousand years should be completed, that is, what is left of the sixth day, to wit, of the sixth age, which subsists for a thousand years; after this he must be loosed for a little season. The little season signifies three years and six months, in which with all his power the devil will avenge himself under Antichrist359 against the Church. Finally, he says, after that the devil shall be loosed, and will seduce the nations in the whole world, and will entice war against the Church, the number of whose foes shall be as the sand of the sea.23112311 [Compare vol. v. pp. 207, 215, caps. 15 and 54.]
4, 5. "And I saw thrones, and them that sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them; and I saw the souls of them that were slain on account of the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast nor his image, nor have received his writing on their forehead or in their hand; and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years: the rest of them lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection."] There are two resurrections. But the first resurrection is now of the souls that are by the faith, which does not permit men to pass over to the second death. Of this resurrection the apostle says: "If ye have risen with Christ, seek those things which are above."23122312 Col. iii. 1.
6. "Blessed and holy is he who has part in this resurrection: on them the second death shall have no power, but they shall be priests of God and Christ, and they shall reign with Him a thousand years."] I do not think the reign of a thousand years is eternal; or if it is thus to be thought of, they cease to reign when the thousand years are finished. But I will put forward what my capacity enables me to judge. The tenfold number signifies the decalogue, and the hundredfold sets forth the crown of virginity: for he who shall have kept the undertaking of virginity completely, and shall have faithfully fulfilled the precepts of the decalogue, and shall have destroyed the untrained nature or impure thoughts within the retirement of the heart, that they may not rule over him, this is the true priest of Christ, and accomplishing the millenary number thoroughly, is thought to reign with Christ; and truly in his case the devil is bound. But he who is entangled in the vices and the dogmas of heretics, in his case the devil is loosed. But that it says that when the thousand years are finished he is loosed, so the number of the perfect saints being completed, in whom there is the glory of virginity in body and mind, by the approaching advent of the kingdom of the hateful one, many, seduced by that love of earthly things, shall be overthrown, and together with him shall enter the lake of fire.
8–10. "And they went up upon the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city; and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil who seduced them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where both the beast and the false prophet shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."] This belongs to the last judgment. And after a little time the earth was made holy, as being at least that wherein lately had reposed the bodies of the virgins, when they shall enter upon an eternal kingdom with an immortal King, as they who are not only virgins in body, but, moreover, with equal inviolability have protected themselves, both in tongue and thought, from wickedness; and these, it shows, shall dwell in rejoicing for ever with the Lamb.

15,000 jobs at risk as Philip Green's Arcadia Group reportedly faces collapse - including TopShop and Dorothy Perkins
Around 15,000 jobs are at risk as Sir Philip Green's Arcadia empire looks set to collapse within days, according to reports.
The retail group, which runs a number of popular high street brands including Topshop, Dorothy Perkins and Burton, is expected to appoint administrators for Deloitte in the coming days.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide Ad'As soon as Monday'
The group could fall into administration as soon as Monday (30 November) and has been involved in emergency talks with lenders.
Arcadia is trying to secure a £30 million loan to help shore up its finances.
The insolvency is yet to be confirmed by the group, but it is expected to trigger a scramble among creditors to get control of company assets.
Struggling retailers
The news marks yet another blow to the retail industry, which has been hard hit this year due to ongoing pandemic.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdThousands of stores have been forced to close for much of the year, leaving several retailers in financial difficulty.
Rival companies including Debenhams, Edinburgh Woollen Mill Group and Oasis Warehouse all slid into insolvency since the pandemic struck in March.
The Arcadia group has more than 500 retail stores across the UK, with the majority of these currently shut as a result of England's second national lockdown, which will end next week on 2 December.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot revealed that three different Assassin's Creed games are currently in development but promised that each of them has its own gameplay and innovations.
Much like Activision's flagship Call of Duty, Ubisoft is having two or three independent teams work in parallel for 2 or 3 years each and release their games in a staggered manner.
"We are making sure the teams who are creating the different iterations have enough time - two years, three years, so that they can take risk and they can change the concept enough so that it can be appealing and fresh," Guillemot assured.
"Really, what we see is that we can have the capacity to regularly come with innovation," he added. "That is, for me, the formula: if you can really change the game on a regular basis and bring in innovation your fans want a product very regularly. Our job is to make sure the teams have enough power, enough energy and enough time to take the necessary steps to create a high quality game."
Guillemot was careful not to reveal any details about the games that are still to be announced; nonetheless, the first of the trio, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is scheduled for release on October 29th, 2013 in the US and November 1st, 2013 in the UK.

In case you missed it, we tore apart the new MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Mid 2012 last week. Inside, we found a whole mess of pretty, yet difficult to access components. In fact, the MacBook Pro with Retina display earned our lowest repairability score ever, with 1 out of 10 points.
What we didn't look at earlier, however, is the MacBook Pro's namesake: the Retina display. Apple claims that the Retina display in the MacBook Pro is the most stunning display to ever grace the lid of a notebook computer. "But at what cost?" we find ourselves asking. Being the repair-minded folks that we are, we feel that the only fair way to answer that question is to give this new display "the iFixit treatment": open it up and look! We may not be opthalmologists, but we are excited to be doing surgery on a Retina display. Join us as we investigate the intricacies of Apple's most stunning display.
Do you wake up in the middle of the night, tossing and turning in anticipation for iFixit's next teardown? Follow us on Twitter and get some rest. We'll keep you up to date with all the hottest gadget teardowns!
Here it is: the impenetrable fortress of pixels known as the Retina display.
Despite our initial apprehension about tearing down such an impressive (and expensive) piece of equipment, we are very curious to see for ourselves just how Apple managed to squeeze more than an entire HDTV inside a 15" display.
At first glance, it looks like a normal MacBook Pro display assembly with a skinnier bezel and no logo at the bottom.
Would you call us crazy if we told you that the display assembly from the latest MacBook Pro is the same size as its predecessor?
You caught us; we lied. The new display is actually a fraction of a millimeter smaller than the old one. Neat!
At its fattest point, the display assembly is a hair over 7 mm thick, and all the way down to just over 3 mm at the edges.
What's astounding is that Apple's engineers managed to cram four times the pixels of the previous 15" MacBook Pro into a display assembly that is (nearly) the same size.
The big savings here is weight, not thickness. The Retina display weighs in at 673 grams, while a standard 15" MacBook Pro display tips the scale at 908 grams. That's a solid 25% weight savings!
The disassembly begins pretty routinely. Like most Apple laptops, the clutch cover pries off fairly easily with a plastic opening tool.
But differences start popping up as soon as the clutch cover comes off. The array of antennas underneath the clutch cover looks a lot more involved than in previous generations.
The left display hinge comes out with no issues, but good luck separating it from the display data cable.
Devices with cables fed through hinges can be a real bear to work on. None of that will be an issue with this machine, though, as the display hinge is pretty much sealed shut at the factory. Rather than routing the cable under a cable retainer -- as it's done in non-Retina MacBook Pros -- you just have to replace both cable and hinge together.
Don't think that the guys (and gals) who designed this machine are just out to get you. Routing the cables through the hinge is a way to save space and weight in the laptop.
In the opposite corner we find another hinge that holds the antenna and FaceTime cables captive.
Again, if you need to replace these cables, the hinge has got to go, as well. That might not be so bad, but having to replace all of those cables just because a hinge breaks would be less than ideal.
Markings on the inverter board read LP154WT1 (SJ) (A1) GD. Given that the board is soldered to the rest of the display, it appears to be a display manufactured by LG Display.
Things go back to being a little more familiar as we begin pulling off the rubber display gasket.
We were pleasantly surprised to find Phillips screws holding the Retina display in place. If you are trying to repair your Retina display and made it this far, you have earned the right to lay down your pentalobe and Torx bits and dust off your Phillips drivers.
The 1 mm gap between the aluminum panel and LCD layers might not seem very large, but to dust and debris it's a gaping hole.
Q: What happens when you hand over a groundbreaking notebook display to a group of careful, highly trained technicians?
A: They break it.
We were as careful as we could possibly be, but the glass on the Retina display is just too fragile.
So, how badly did we break it? Well, upon closer inspection we noticed two very distinct lines running around the perimeter of the display, the inner of which was filled with tiny bubbles.
Could those be the LCs of our LCD?
Once we got over the fact that obliterating the front panel of the display was the only way to get it out, we grabbed the skinniest tool we could find—an iFixit 6" ruler—and started prying.
With the top and sides of the display panel freed, we were able to slide the shattered remains out of the display assembly.
There were two thin strips of adhesive underneath the glass holding it in place, with a pattern that closely matched our trail of bubbles.
So, what's the lesson here? If you want a world-class laptop screen that doesn't take up much real estate, don't expect to be able to pop it out and back in at will.
At last! With the LCD removed, we can remove the antenna and FaceTime cables from the display assembly.
The camera cable is routed along the outside edge of the display assembly, making replacement very difficult and costly. Thankfully the cameras fail very infrequently, if at all.
If the FaceTime camera were placed at the bottom of the display, it would likely be much easier to replace, but we wonder what kind of awkward side effects that would cause.
iSight, uSight, we all sigh at lame jokes. Anyway, iSight is a thing of the past. This MacBook Pro has a FaceTime camera, allowing you to video chat with your grandmother in full HD.
The camera board comes out easily enough, considering the work it took to get there.
The camera interfaces with the rest of the computer via the Vimicro VC0358 USB camera interface IC.
Underneath the top layer of the LCD, we find a series of films and sheets that manipulate light before sending it to the user's eye.
Diffuser and prism films evenly spread the light to create an even backlight for the display panel. A stationary polarizing sheet then works in conjunction with the liquid crystals to block or allow light for each pixel, all 5+ million of them.
在这个步骤中使用的工具:iSesamo Opening Tool$9.99
The light guide plate is held down by a small strip of mild adhesive—nothing like we saw before.
Erring on the side of caution, we proceded very slowly with our modified iSesamo opening tool and removed the plate.
Backlight bounces through the plate due to total internal reflection until it hits one of those tiny dots, which sends the light up and out of the front of the plate.
By the way, the third picture is an image of the grid found in the clear plastic plate being removed in the second picture. We had to coerce it a bit in Photoshop in order to make it show its grid.
There's no real reason to pull the foam off the inside of the back case, but this is a teardown, so we're doing it.
We suspect that the foam is there to provide a flat, even surface for the LCD glass to brace against. But there is one thing that we do know about it: it is super sticky.
The bottom edge of the case has two features that we found pretty neat: a laser engraved data matrix code and a nifty arrangement of round indentations.
Upon further inspection and with the help of some keen-eyed readers, it appears that those dots form the pattern of a glider from Conway's Game of Life, the universal symbol for hackers.
That sixth dot to the right, though? Apparently, if you were to place that dot while playing, it would lead the glider into a state of death. Is Apple trying to send us a message?
And there you have it, the Retina display from the new MacBook Pro.
Normally we would provide you with a repairability score at this point, but since this display is part of another device, that's not really appropriate.
What we can tell you is that if anything in the display assembly breaks, you'll need to replace the whole thing. It will be more expensive than just replacing the LCD inside a regular MacBook Pro, but it will also make the choice (of whether to replace just LCD or entire display assembly) very easy.
That is a glider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glider_(Con...)

Protect Yourself Against the Unexpected
A financial emergency may have previously seemed like a "not me" scenario, but it's now a reality many families across America are dealing with as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the economy.
Savings accounts may not be robust enough to weather a significant blow, according to research from Colonial Life. The survey found 38% of U.S. adults have less than $5,000 in savings for a financial emergency, and 23% have less than $1,000.
The study further revealed Americans are already stretched thin due to financial constraints like vehicles with mechanical problems, an unemployed spouse or partner, supporting children and other dependents, mortgage payments and other debt.
Planning ahead for a financial emergency with tips like these can help reduce the long-term impact on your finances and credit.
Avoid unnecessary charges. Late payment fees can add up fast and put a dent in your credit rating. Take inventory of your monthly expenses and note the due dates then plan a payment schedule around your paychecks. Be sure to account for possible mail delays or the time needed for electronic transfers. If your schedule doesn't work, contact your creditor and ask if you can move to a different due date that helps reduce your risk.
Anticipate unforeseen illnesses. A critical illness such as a heart attack, stroke or major organ failure can impact anyone, from the least health-conscious to the most fit. When a critical illness strikes, major expenses often follow. Health insurance may cover some of your medical costs, but not everything. An option like Colonial Life critical illness insurance helps supplement your major medical coverage by providing a lump-sum benefit you can use to pay direct and indirect costs related to some of the most prevalent critical illnesses.
Reduce debt. Doing what you can now to reduce your financial obligations can pay off in the long run if you experience a loss of income. That may mean making extra payments on a loan rather than paying just the minimum balance due. Interest is calculated based on your balance, so paying extra not only reduces your original debt, but also saves you money that would have been lost to interest.
Keep up on maintenance. When money is tight or you're worried a reduction is coming soon, it may seem counterintuitive to spend money. However, taking care of ongoing maintenance for big-ticket items like your home and vehicle is an investment in the future. Spending a little now to keep things in good working order can help protect you from a costly problem down the road.
Start thinking smaller. Lifestyle adjustments can be tough when they're abrupt and unexpected, but if you gradually transition to a more frugal way of living it may not feel as disruptive. For example, start by cutting back on entertainment expenses and dining out. Look for lower-cost ways to enjoy time with loved ones and dial back spending on things like birthday gifts.

Verizon Wireless' share of the U.S. Android market was down again in August, sinking to its lowest point since the carrier's launch of the iPhone 4 this past March. The nation's top carrier played a large role in popularizing Google's mobile OS thanks to a massive $100 million marketing campaign focused on the Motorola DROID, but Apple's smartphone has shifted demand among its subscribers. According to market research firm Chitka Insights, Verizon Wireless' share of the Android smartphone market in the U.S. stood at 51.42% in March, the month after Apple's CDMA iPhone 4 finally launched. Android has continued to grow explosively since then, however Verizon's share dropped to its lowest point yet in August: 41.05%. In the same amount of time, AT&T's share of the U.S. Android market grew 5 points to 8.47% while Sprint and T-Mobile stayed relatively flat. "While Verizon still has four of the top five Android smartphones (Droid X, HTC Droid Incredible, Samsung Fascinate, Droid), its market share is clearly down. In contrast, AT&T's share of the Android phone market is increasing, with devices such at the HTC Inspire gaining significant popularity among smartphone users," Chitka said on its company blog.

CarbonCure's CEO Robert Niven started his first business before the age of 12, reselling stickers to schoolyard pals. He found his big business idea when he attended the 2005 UN Climate Change Conference in Montreal and learned about the looming opportunity of carbon capture and storage. Taking what he'd learned during his engineering degree about permanently storing CO₂ within concrete, CarbonCure was born.
He figured, humans aren't going to stop building things with concrete any time soon. So why not work with the massive concrete industry to create greener building materials?
CarbonCure's technology works like this: CO₂ emissions are collected and purified, transported and stored onsite at concrete plants, then injected into concrete during the mixing process. The injected CO₂ reacts with the concrete mix and transforms into a mineral.
The resulting concrete is stronger than the traditional version and requires less of its most expensive ingredient, cement. As a result, every cubic yard of CO₂-injected concrete saves an average of 25 pounds of CO₂ emissions. An average midrise building built with their product would prevent about 1.5 million pounds of CO₂ from going into the atmosphere. That's equivalent to the CO₂ absorbed by about 890 acres of forest in a year. Plus, the mineralized CO₂ can be sold as carbon removal credits, making the process even more lucrative.
CarbonCure is already working with about 300 concrete plants. The carbon they've mineralized in concrete represents 90% of the total global amount of carbon that has been captured, used, and stored—a process called carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS). Their ambitious goal is to prevent 500 megatonnes (550 million tons) of CO₂ emissions from entering the atmosphere every year by 2030.
Shopify's offset purchase from CarbonCure comes from our belief that we need to create a market for CO₂ as a valuable product. Our investment signals to concrete producers that there is a demand for CO₂, and hopefully more of them will sign up to work with CarbonCure as a result. Once this happens, industries like direct air capture (DAC) will enjoy new revenue streams and be able to drive down costs for their processes.

If you're a preggie, a new mom, or a mom of two like me, you're going to need some of these essentials! I could not function without the following… and I neglected to add an extra large cup of coffee, but that's an obvious one, right?
(click on the numbers below for the links)
1. This is the perfect place to plop your baby down wherever you are. It has a little handle on top so it's easy to carry in one hand while you carry your baby in the other. The best part- you can throw the whole thing in the washing machine! Jenni actually lent me hers that she used with Amara. Life saver! That's what friends are for!
2. I LOVE the Ergo baby. How else do you get stuff done when your baby needs to be held? You have to get the infant insert as well so the baby is comfy. When they're a little bigger, you can just use the seat pad so the baby is the right height. This carrier is so comfy that I wore this with Ari from birth (acid reflux baby… omg) up until he was 2.5 years old.
3. We have a play mat at our house, but Max isn't a huge fan. My parents keep this play mat at their house, and he is just mesmerized by the black and white shapes! He would stay on the mat kicking and smiling for an hour. You can even reverse the mat for different stimulation during tummy time.
1. This is the easiest swaddle. Ever. Mom, dad, grandparents, and babysitters can all keep the baby swaddled the exact same way. This just zips up from the bottom (so easy for diaper changes) and has velcro to put baby's arms in. Once Max gets in the swaddle, he's asleep in seconds. Really.
2. These pacifiers are the same ones you get at the hospital. They're super soft and most like a nipple. Another thing I love about these is the hole in the middle. Ari loves to "help" and hold the pacifier in Max's mouth with his finger. So sweet.
3. Aden and Anais make the best burp cloths! They're super absorbent, shaped perfectly to fit over your shoulder, they can snap around baby's neck like a bib, and of course I love the stylish patterns.
1. What in the world did I do before I had a backpack diaper bag?? When I'm getting the kids into the car, closing the stroller, schleping the grocery bags, etc., the last thing I need is my diaper bag falling off my shoulder or swinging around to hit me in the face. This backpack has pockets upon pockets and comes with a changing pad, wet sack, clutch for all of my stuff, a bottle cooler, stroller straps, and a strap to convert this to a shoulder bag. It really makes me feel stylish and organized. Also a bit like Felicity which obviously is amazing.
2. Jenni gave me this lip gloss when I was in the hospital after having Max. It is the perfect shade of pink-nude and makes me feel a little glam even when I haven't showered for three days. Isn't she the best??
3. I adore this teething jewelry from Mama & Little. Made by a mom who wanted to look cute and give her baby the best- what a smarty! All totally safe, super stylish, and incredibly affordable!! They have necklaces you can layer in different lengths and colors all with a satin cord on your neck so it doesn't pull out your hair! Max just started teething, so I know these will come in handy but also make me feel a little bit more put together.
1. I like to have special projects for Ari to do while I've got baby stuff going on. Love this mosaic kit for your older child. We did this over Thanksgiving, and it kept all 5 cousins busy, ages 3-10!
2. A stool will make your older child feel part of the action at the changing table or crib. Ari feels very important standing on it, squishing Max's cheeks while I do a diaper change. Anyone else's kid enthralled with baby poop as much as mine?
3. When I'm exhausted all the time sometimes I just need to sit, so a big floor puzzle is perfect for tired mamas and active toddlers. Much better than the Sleeping Beauty game I made up where I sleep until my prince kisses me to wake me up. So great when the prince gets distracted and let's me sleep a little longer 🙂
I have to say the best thing we did for Ari to make him feel extra special was to have a "Big Brother Party". It was as simple as hanging a few streamers and balloons and getting cupcakes from Kroger- you would have thought it was his birthday with how excited he was. We gave him a big brother gift and a present from Max. I highly recommend this for you mamas out there!!
Mr. Max at 3 months old
What are your favorite baby necessities I'm missing? I'd love to hear from you!

Cornelius Nepos: Lives of Eminent Commanders (1886). Preface to the online edition
Life of Cornelius Nepos
Nepos lived in the first century BC. Pliny the Elder twice refers to him as dying in the principate of Augustus (Natural History, ix.137; x.60), and he seems to have lived from around 99BC to around 24BC. We know from his own words that he outlived Atticus, who died in 32 BC, and that he lived to an advanced age.
The praenomen of Cornelius Nepos is unknown. Pliny the Elder speaks of him as Padi accola (NH. iii.127), and we know that he was born in that part of Cisalpine Gaul which took its name from the Insubres (Pliny the Younger, Letters. iv.28.1; cf. Cicero, Letters ad fam. xv.16.1). It has been inferred from this that he most likely was born in ancient Ticinum, today known as Pavia.
He lived in Rome, but we learn from Pliny the Younger that he was not of senatorial rank (Lett. v.3.6). He exchanged letters with Cicero (Macrobius, Saturnalia ii.1.14; Suetonius Julius 55; etc). Catullus dedicated a book of poems to him (Catullus 1). In his correspondence, Fronto suggests that, like Atticus, Nepos was a publisher as well as a writer (i. p.169, Loeb).
Nepos wrote a considerable amount, but little has come down to us. The following items are known to us from references in other writers.
Our text is an extract of De viris illustribus. We have the entire book De excellentibus ducibus exterarum gentium -- on foreign generals -- plus two lives from De Historicis Latinis. There are also some fragments.
In the past, De excellentibus ducibus was attributed to Aemilius Probus, a grammarian of the period of Theodosius II (AD 408-450), since an epigram of his appears in some of the manuscripts, after the life of Hannibal, and followed in A and P by an explicit "Aemilii Probi de excellentibus ducibus exterarum gentium liber explicit." However, various passages indicate the author lived at the end of the Republic and start of the Principate (e.g. xviii.8.2; xvii.4.2; viii.2.4), and the resemblances in language and style to the other two lives, which come down to us under the name of Cornelius Nepos, are so substantial as to leave no doubt that they share the same author. Probus seems to have been the author of a collection of selected lives from Nepos.
The work was published before Atticus died, ca. 35 or 34 BC. A second edition appeared before 27 BC with additional material in the life of Atticus. The date is given by the fact that Augustus is everywhere referred to as Caesar, not under the title of Augustus conferred in 27BC.
According to his own statement (xvi.1.1) Nepos wrote biography, not history. The lives were addressed to the general public (praef.1-7; xv.1.1). There are obvious links of genre to the parallel lives of Plutarch.
After late antiquity, knowledge of Nepos disappeared. However a single manuscript of Nepos seems to have survived the middle ages:
Two direct copies of it were made:
Further manuscripts:
A large number of late copies exist, of which these are a few, listed in the Loeb.
The Utrecht edition of 1542 also has independent value.
All the existing codices have the same lacuna at vi.2.3, and a number of obvious errors in common, and so are all descended from a single manuscript. This is assumed to be a minuscule, not earlier than the eleventh century.
This translation of Nepos by the Rev. John Selby Watson, MA was found in the same volume as Eutropius and Justin, and has been added to the collection for completeness. However the Bohn text did not include a translation of the fragments. I have obtained the Latin text in the Loeb edition, and created a public domain English translation.

To honor Poetry Month, we're hearing from the four finalists to become the 2022 National Youth Poet Laureate. Today, we meet the south regional ambassador.
ISABELLA RAMIREZ: My name is Isabella Ramirez. I am a queer Latinx poet from Lake Worth, Fla., but I'm currently studying at Columbia University in New York City.
ESTRIN: Ramirez found her love for poetry attending slam poetry competitions in South Florida.
RAMIREZ: It was really seeing other people perform that really inspired me the most to start my own journey as a poet. I think there's just nothing more powerful than youth poetry and youth voices. And really, it's just, like, us coming together and listening and having this really punchy, powerful moments together and snaps and hollers and whoops and, like, all of these emotions coming together.
ESTRIN: Her poem "Mama" pays homage to her mother for supporting her. It also shares how she supported her mother when she attended graduate school in her 40s.
RAMIREZ: (Reading) I'm sitting on my mama's bed, and she's on the brink of breaking down over her homework. I can see the glint of a blinking cursor and the tears glossing over her eyes as her hands search for words in a language all too foreign to her.
Being an immigrant and having English as your second language, you don't realize how difficult it is to be in the same spaces as your peers who speak English as a first language and be expected to do the same workload when your brain thinks and is bilingual. Your brain is thinking in two languages. So that's sort of where in my junior year I really became that support for my mother. And I saw her grow in such a tremendous way. And it felt like a paying back. I know I can never truly pay back my mother for the years that she has spent being there for me. But I think to some extent, I was able to do that for her.
(Reading) My mama's English gets told it's pretty good for being an immigrant, to which she replies, you've got some nerve for being a gringa because my mama wasn't a stay-at-home mom for 15 years to be told that her English still has cleaning to do.
Her Spanish, to me, is why I speak Spanish. It's why, you know, I'm able to celebrate my culture and even write in a way that is in both English and Spanish. So I think there, it's - I'm not just exploring her English. I'm exploring all of the language that we share together and she has imparted to me.
(Reading) My mama's English is the reason I can tell her in two ways that she is my everything, mi todo, because her love knows no language.
ESTRIN: Isabella Ramirez is a finalist for this year's National Youth Poet Laureate. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Healing from the abuse of someone in your life with Borderline Personality Disorder and/or Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a very painful process. Not as painful as being abused is, however. It is a necessary though so that your mental and physical health is not diminished and negatively effected. So many loved ones or family members of those with BPD and/or NPD are in so much pain as the result of the level and frequency of abuse they are on the receiving end of from these personality disordered people in their lives.
The stress that this causes so many is just too much. The pain is often almost beyond description. Caring and loving someone who can't care or doesn't care and doesn't know what healthy love is can be so painfully exhausting that people feel like they are losing themselves. No one can meet the demands of those who have not learned to be aware enough of how they effect others to get the help they need to change that. Only people with BPD and/or NPD can work toward that change if they are truly committed to doing so – you can't lead them to it, you can't hope they will if they don't see the problem.
Have you ever asked yourself why you remain in such an abusive and painful situation? What is keeping you there? Love? You may well love this person in your life but all you end up doing is trying to give to have what you give not be "good enough" and to have what you give not ever returned to you in any reciprocal or mutual healthy adult way.
You may understand from an intellectual perspective what I am talking about here, of course. You are living this right? However, I'd like to point out, as I do in the video, that for loved ones of the personality disordered, intellectual knowing, or rational thinking can't touch the emotional pain you are in. It won't make your emotional pain and dilemma as to decisions you need to make any clearer or more possible.

[This article was contributed by the AppFabric team.]
In the Windows Azure AppFabric May 2011 CTP, we released enhancements to Service Bus including the new message-oriented middleware features around Queues and Topics. More details regarding these features can be found here: Introducing the Windows Azure AppFabric Service Bus May 2011 CTP. These enhancements will go live with an update to the commercially available service in a few months.
Currently we have two versions of the Access Control service in our production environment: the January 2010 version and the April 2011 version. More details regarding this can be found here: Windows Azure AppFabric April release now available featuring a new version of the Access Control service!.
Until the production Service Bus is updated it continues to use the January 2010 version of the Access Control service. But once Service Bus is updated it will also be able to use the new April 2011 version of the Access Control service. Once the Service Bus update goes live we strongly recommend to customers to update their Service Bus solutions to use the new version of the Access Control service for two reasons:
- Service Bus will cease to use the older version of the Access Control service at some point in the future. In compliance with our lifecycle support policies for Windows Azure, we will provide you with 12 month notice before this event.
- The April 2011 version of Access Control has great benefits as noted in the blog post referenced in the above.
Following are explanations on the current state, what will change once Service Bus gets updated, and how you can prepare.
Current state in the production environment
In the Windows Azure AppFabric Management Portal, the two versions of Access Control are labeled ACSV1 for the January 2010 release and ACSV2 for the April 2011 release.
Today when you create a new Service Bus namespace, a matching ACSV1 namespace is automatically created with the namespace suffix "–sb". This ACSV1 namespace is used by Service Bus.
The two versions of the Access Control service support the same protocol and authorization token format that is expected by Service Bus today (OAuth WRAP SWT), and are fully compatible for all runtime operations. However, ACSV2 supports a new, richer management service protocol based on OData. While the two services are runtime-compatible, they are not compatible for code performing automated setup of access control rules and service identities via the management service.
Following the Service Bus update
For backwards-compatibility with existing applications, Service Bus namespaces that exist in the production environment at the time of the update will not be automatically switched over to ACSV2, and will continue to use ACSV1. You will need to migrate these namespaces from ACSV1 to ACSV2 on your own, coordinated with updates to your code that calls the management service.
As we update the service in a few months, we will provide tooling and step-by-step guidance for how to perform the migration from ACSV1 to ACSV2.
While we will provide detailed guidance as we release the update, the migration process will generally involve the following test-then-migrate sequence of steps:
- First, you will create a brand-new, temporary Service Bus namespace that will automatically come paired with an ACSV2 namespace. This namespace will be used for end to end testing of your application with ACSV2, including your updated code to call the management service.
- Using a to-be-provided command line tool, you will copy the state of your production ACSV1 namespace into the temporary ACSV2 namespace. Your production Service Bus namespace and corresponding ACSV1 namespace will remain untouched during this process. You can now test your application and updated code against the temporary Service Bus and ACSV2 namespace to ensure everything works as expected.
- After you have verified that your application works as expected, you will use the to-be-provided command line tool to change the DNS name of the temporary ACSV2 namespace to be the name of the ACSV1 namespace associated with your production Service Bus – effectively swapping the V2 namespace into the place of the existing V1 namespace. This completes the migration.
Running applications should not experience any service disruption resulting from this switch.
The version differences and migration will mostly affect applications that automatically provision rules in ACSV1 using the management service. Since the management service differs between ACSV1 and ACSV2, the guidance will suggest a process that can be outlined as follows:
- As you prepare for the switchover, you should have a mode in your application, or a procedure in your operations process, that allows you to temporarily suspend automated creation of rules. This may be a simple notice to operations staff or may require some work in your application.
- Immediately before you copy rules to the temporary namespace for the final time before making the DNS name change, you should engage this suspension mode so that no new rules are created in the ACSV1 namespace that end up being orphaned after the data migration.
- After you have switched to ACSV2, you can resume automated creation of rules by having your code target the new ACSV2 management service.
- We suggest that you have both, the ACSV1 and the ACSV2 client code existing in your application side-by-side and that you switch between the code paths using a simple check against an HTTP URL. If a simple GET request against the ACSV2 management endpoint https://tenant.accesscontol.windows.net/v2/mgmt/service yields an HTTP status code 404, the application runs against ACSV1, otherwise it already runs against ACSV2.
How to prepare
Our LABS environment at already includes the enhancements to Service Bus, as well as the new version of Access Control. Hence, you can use this environment, free of charge, to start planning your migration and test it.
In the LABS environment already today, when customers create new Service Bus namespaces the system will generate a new Access Control namespace with the "-sb" suffix, but that namespace is created in ACSV2. This will be the production experience when we release the update to Service Bus in a few months.
You can immediately start developing this new management code path creating rules against ACSV2 against the versions of Service Bus and Access Control that are available in the May 2011 CTP environment at .
As always, if you have any questions or feedback feel free to visit the Connectivity for the Windows Azure Platform forum.

The fight to save Seattle's scholastic journalism: A good story with a positive outcome
By Vince DeMiero
Nov. 15, 2011
Student press rights are alive and well in the Seattle School District thanks in large part to a savvy reporter, passionately vigilant student publication editors, thoughtful publication advisers and a student-centered superintendent.
What happened? In short, a terribly flawed student publications policy almost made it into the official remix of hundreds of policy changes and updates that the school board is proposing in Seattle. This same policy – known as 3220 and 3220SP – has signaled the end to a responsible and free student press in dozens of districts across the state, most notably in Everett and Puyallup. The stakes were high.
But this is a good story, one with a positive outcome for student journalists. A story that deserves kudos on many levels. So, applause goes to Phyllis Fletcher of KUOW who broke this story. Fletcher is a graduate of Seattle's Garfield High School where she worked on the Messenger newsmagazine staff. Praise for the incredibly thoughtful young editors and reporters on the Seattle high school publication staffs who worked so hard to get the word out about this terribly flawed policy. Tip of the hat to the advisers in Seattle who provided appropriate support to their student journalists.
Applause, too, to Supt. Susan Enfield who really gets it on this issue and was courageous enough to step away from Policy 3220 – a policy, by the way, that the SSD did not write, but is one of hundreds contained within a template of policies from the Washington State School Directors Association (WSSDA). Frankly, 3220 needs to be seriously edited or deleted.
WSSDA does a disservice to its members and to thousands of students by keeping this policy in its mix of templates.
So, what's the big deal? Why shouldn't public school principals and administrators have total control over the student press? Isn't it about time these student journalists learn that it's the publisher who ultimately controls content? Really, who do these students think they are demanding privileges not even a Seattle Times reporter would have. At least those are some of the typical comments I hear time and again whenever student press rights are challenged.
To be clear, there really is no commercial or corporate publication that is analogous to a student publication at a public high school. I think this is why some folks raise these types of questions. First of all, student journalists must abide by the same laws and ethical guidelines as any other journalist with regard to libel, invasion of privacy, accuracy, liability, etc. Student journalists who I have advised have been served search warrants, subpoenas, etc. They had no special privilege. The newsroom that my students work in is really not much different than what you'd find at a small commercial publication, except that the editors, reporters, photographers, ad sales folks, etc. happen to be high school students.
But that's where the similarities start to break sharply from those who work for corporate or commercial media. A true student publication, like the one I advise, exists because it is the collective intellectual work product of a group of public high school students. Its mission is to be the publication of record for its audience as well as to serve as a learning laboratory for the student editors, reporters, photographers, etc.
Importantly, unlike a commercial newspaper, a student publication does not exist to serve the interests of a publisher or shareholders. In fact, I would argue that the collective group of students is the publisher of a true student newspaper – not the
school, not the school board, not the principal, not the superintendent. Why? Because the work these students create (at least those working on an open forum publication) is the intellectual property of those students journalists; they own it.
The students I advise, for example, are in charge of the entire content, layout and design of their publication. The only thing they do not do is put the ink on the paper. Additionally, the publication is nearly 100 percent financially self-sustaining.
Some would argue that the school and district provides my salary, the building, the space, the heat, the lights, the equipment, etc. and, therefore, the school owns the paper.
I disagree.
In my English class, if I assign my students to write a collection of poems, even if it's for a grade, the school has no copyright claim to those students' work. The school district has no legal basis for claiming ownership of this type of student work, so why would it be any different with a co-curricular or extra-curricular student publication?
Or how about this analogy (credit for this goes to my daughter, herself a former editor of the publication I advise): Let's say you decide to write a book, but you don't have a computer, you don't have access to the Internet, you don't even have paper or a pencil to write with. So, you go to your local public library where you are provided access to a computer and the Internet, assistance from the librarian, and lots of paper and even a pencil or two. It's nice and cozy and warm there, too, and well lit and free from distractions. It takes you a couple of months and numerous visits, but you eventually finish the book and submit it for publication.
Who owns it? The library? No.
The citizens who pay taxes to provide library services? No.
You do. It's your intellectual property.
Similarly, the taxpayers in a public school district provide student journalists with basic resources, but neither they nor the school administrators who work on their behalf can claim ownership of the student publication.
Another important point to consider is that student journalists are in the unique position of having to rely on sources and report on people who are essentially their superiors – principals, teachers, coaches, district officials, etc. Additionally, in a public school setting, those same people are also government employees.
Is it proper for journalists to turn over editorial control to their sources? Is it okay to turn over control to government officials?
I don't think so.
That's why savvy school districts and administrators hire well-trained publication advisers. In my role, I am both an educator and an adviser – not an editor, publisher, censor, etc. I advise the student editors throughout the entire publication process and they have on occasion thoughtfully disagreed with my advice.
Additionally, when a school or district sets up open forum status for its publications, it is no longer responsible or liable for the content of those publications. In fact, the Puyallup and Seattle school districts have recently won major legal victories because of the open forum status of their publications.
In fact, did you know that no public school district in the United States has ever been successfully sued because of its student newspaper? Pretty amazing track record, don't you think? However, lots of public school districts have been successfully sued because they infringed on students' First Amendment rights.
So, is there any potential legal risk involved in having an open public forum student newspaper associated with a public high school? Sure, but that risk pales in comparison to other liabilities that school districts deal with on a far more frequent basis (athletics, transportation, discipline, facilities, etc.). Still, if you believed even a fraction of the scary statements I frequently hear from district administrators, school district legal advisers and less-than-informed community members, you'd swear student journalists were completely running amok.
On the contrary, I'd encourage you to pick up a copy of your local high school publication or visit their website and look at what student journalists are doing today right here and across the country. It's pretty amazing, really. And while it isn't always great journalism, the vast majority of their work is passionate and clear evidence that journalism is far from dead.

Genesis Featured Images creates a option box to enable a default image for post thumbnails and/or featured images and a meta box to set a custom size for the featured image to be displayed. These default images will only appear any time a post, page or any custom post type does not have a featured image, or an image inside the post. So for those who write a lot of posts and want one image for the majority of your posts, this plugin works perfectly! Genesis Featured Images filters genesis_get_image() so anywhere you utilize genesis_get_image(), this plugin will provide a fallback option. Genesis Featured Images uses the WordPress Image Uploader and Library to upload the image to ensure that the proper thumbnails are created.
You must have Genesis installed. Click here to learn more about Genesis

Nutella Cream Horns (Printable recipe)
Prepare 9 cream horn moulds
- 210 gm bread flour
- 56 gm cake flour
- 20 gm milk powder
- 42 gm caster sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 gm instant yeast
- 30 gm whisked egg
- 85 gm water
- 84 gm tangzhong (refer this recipe to see how to make tangzhong)
- 22 gm unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup whipping cream
- 2 tsp caster sugar
- 2½ tbsp Nutella
- Use a breadmaker, add all wet ingredients first: egg, water and tangzhong. Then add the dry ingredients on top in this order: salt, sugar, milk powder, bread flour, cake flour and lastly instant yeast. Turn on your breadmaker and set to "dough" mode. When all ingredients just come together, pour in the melted butter and let the breadmaker continue kneading. (Note: As the dough is extremely sticky and too difficult to knead by hands, it's recommended to use a breadmaker.) Keep kneading until the dough is smooth, not too sticky on the surface and elastic. The time of kneading in the breadmaker is about 30 minutes. Then let the dough stay inside the breadmaker to complete the 1st round of proofing, about 40 minutes, double in size.
- Transfer the dough to a clean floured surface. Deflate and divide into 9 equal portions, each about 60 grams. Knead into ball shapes (see picture 1). Cover with cling wrap, let rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- To shape the dough: Turn each portion with seal facing upward. Fold from top to bottom (see picture 2). Turn seal downward, flatten the dough (see picture 3). Turn seal upward again, tightly pinch the top and the bottom edges together (see picture 4). Then roll it into a 40cm long tube with two hands. Wrap tube-shaped dough around a greased cream horn mould, starting at the tip (see picture 5-8). Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper, with seam side down. Repeat this step with the rest of the dough. Let proof for the 2nd round, about 40 minutes (preferably at 38C/100F, 85% humidity).
- Brush whisked egg on surface. Bake in a pre-heated 180C (356F) oven for 13 to 15 minutes, until turns brown. Remove from the oven and transfer onto a wire rack. Let cool completely. Remove the cream horn moulds.
- Prepare the filling: use an electric mixer to beat the whipping cream, sugar and Nutella until stiff. Chill in fridge if necessary.
- When ready to serve, Pipe whipped Nutella cream into the horns to fill in. Enjoy!
- Before using the cream horn moulds, brush with butter or spray oil onto them. It's easier to remove the horns after baking.
- You can adjust the amount of Nutella or replace with other chocolate sauce or fresh fruit cream.
- To get the best result, use an electric kitchen scale to measure all ingredients correctly. It's worth saving you from making any errors when converting to cup/teaspoon measurements.
