Happy Monday! Thought I would share my outfit of choice for pumpkin picking this past weekend.
Wear something cute but comfy! I usually like to wear boots, but it was still just a little bit too warm for me to rock some riding boots!
With my limited wardrobe for the time being (post pregger body sure makes things difficult…. Aaahhh!!!) I managed to put together something semi cute! I also didn't have all the time in the world to get ready so up into a sock bun my hair went!
Shirt: Old Navy Maternity
Military Jacket: H & M. (Similar here and here
Necklace: Stella and Dot
Earrings: Stella and Dot
Jeans: Motherhood Maternity (Cut me some slack!! Charlotte isn't even 3 weeks! I'm not one of those lucky gals thats back in their regular jeans by the time they leave the hospital….booooo!)
Shoes: Old Navy (old, similar here)
What I like about this look, in particular this jacket, are the endless possibilties as far as color pairing options go. As a matter of fact, I wrote a post about how awesome military jackets are…check that out right here!
Despite all of the color options, I love navy blue and yellow with army green- a classic and timeless pairing.
What about you? What are your favorite things to wear to the pumpkin patch?
Linking up today for YOLO Monday's! Grab the button on my sidebar and link up too!
I'll leave you with this…because I can never be too serious.

Aston Villa target Oguzhan Ozyakup set to leave Besiktas
Villa target Oguzhan Ozyakup has hinted that he's ready to leave Besiktas this summer.
After winning a second Turkish title in a row at the weekend, the 24-year-old midfielder says he has fulfilled his ambitions in Super Lig.
Villa are one of several clubs interested in the former Arsenal youth star having scouted him earlier this year.
And Ozyakup is now going to weigh up his options on holiday before picking his future club.
"You know that I have a target to play in Europe one day," he said. "I'm very happy that I've achieved what I wanted at Besiktas.
"Back-to-back championships is good. Now I'll go to holiday and think about my future. Anything can happen but I'll decide on the holiday."
Meanwhile, Villa may be forced to offload Carles Gil to a different club than Deportivo La Coruna after reports in Spain suggest they wouldn't be able to match the valuation.

Luxury Review - Samsung French-Door Smart Fridge
Nov 21, 2013 10:39AM
● By tina
Gone are the days when all you wished for was an ice-maker that worked. Today's refrigerators come loaded with features, but few come close to the offerings of Samsung's smart fridge. While we can't say enough about the design of the fridge, it's the high-tech features that blow us away.
The Wi-Fi enabled fridge features a touch-screen loaded with easy-to-use apps. On the practical side, the notes, weather, Google calendar and AP News apps will keep you organized and prepared. The fridge can even track what groceries you need to pick up at the store. Browse Epicurious recipes if you're not sure what to whip up for dinner. Entertaining in the kitchen? Load your Google Picasa page with photos and pick your favorite Pandora station, and you'll have your fave pics on view while music sets the tone.
With a handy French-door design and 28 cubic square feet of storage, the Samsung fridge makes it easy to put away a big grocery store haul — and to access them later. (The doors come equipped with — count 'em! — four gallon-size bins.) A counter-height FlexZone drawer with customizable compartments promises to up the convenience factor — each compartment even has its own temperature setting — and allows little ones to get to their favorite snacks without a stepstool. And when it comes to temperature control, the Samsung smart fridge offers a twin-cooling system, so the refrigerator and freezer are cooled separately, reducing humidity in the freezer air (less freezer burn) and increasing the humidity in the fridge air (longer-lasting fresh veggies for everybody). With surround airflow, cool-tight doors and a two-minute door alarm, your food will be kept fresh far longer than you might expect.
Don't worry about having to chip away at a two-pound bag of ice for your next party. The Samsung offers superior ice production and extra ice storage so you'll never run out. The ice is dispensed along with premium filtered (and extra cool) water to help you through the summer months.
The Samsung smart fridge does a lot more than keep things cold — though it does that quite well — and we're sure once you have one in your own kitchen, you'll wonder how you ever did without.

Around the forthcoming yrs it have to be expected that all facets of lifetime on Earth will modify significantly and significantly, be this by local weather modify, technological progression or economic transition. On analysing the 'eighties', or even the 'nineties', the improvements which have occurred from then to the existing working day are nothing at all small of remarkable. Most small children and young people can not imagine a way of life which does contain these kinds of technologies (or gadgets) as cell telephones and laptops. These apps have develop into firmly inter-linked with every day lifetime and are now a way of lifetime somewhat than a 'flashy' gimmick, as they ended up usually referred to as in their infancy. In a similar way, these kinds of technologies has had the similar effect on corporations and the surroundings they work inside of. Cellular telephones are commonplace amongst workers in most industries and e-mails, databases, spreadsheets and numerous other programmes have, to a degree, rendered the pen and paper nothing at all extra than a 'supporting act'. With these kinds of main improvements transpiring in these kinds of a small space of time, it appears corporations will proceed to expertise intense and drastic new environments. How they respond to them will decide their good results and longevity inside of their marketplaces. There is only a person matter certain about the upcoming of business – it will always be switching!
Business revolves all-around shoppers and, in the major, fulfilling their demands and wants. Even so, intelligent promoting and propaganda can usually mould consumer groups in to pondering they need a certain product or service, service or manufacturer. Hence, the crucial motorists of how business progresses will be shoppers coupled with economic, political, environmental, social, technological and lawful aspects. For the duration of the program of this essay, every single of the aspects will be analysed and suggestions on their consequences supplied.
Ray Kurzweil, a renowned laptop scientist, predicts "We will not likely expertise one hundred yrs progress in the twenty first century – it will be extra like 20,000 yrs of progress at present-day level. Within a few a long time, device intelligence will surpass human intelligence, leading to the Singularity: technological modify so immediate and profound it represents a rupture in the cloth of human record.

When it comes to tough, wear-resistant materials with "certified" mechanical properties, Stellite 6B is in a class by itself. Unlike materials that sacrifice toughness for wear resistance, Stellite 6B offers both. The key is the extensive hot forging process which transforms brittle, wear-resistant ingot into tough, wear-resistant Stellite 6B. Although the material exhibits a modest hardness range of 33-43 RC, the extensive work hardening transformation that the surface goes through provides exceptional wear resistance for such a tough material.
• Meets Aerospace Material Specification AMS 5894 requirements.
• DFARS compliant
• All material supplied with original MTR certification
• Stocked in standard mill forms
• Round bar: from 0.312" to 6.0" diameter - full lengths or cut pieces
• Flat stock: from 0.031" to 1.0" thick - full sheets or cut pieces
• Custom sizes available based on minimum production quantity.
• In-house machining services available to deliver finished components.
With its excellent wear characteristics, hot hardness, good corrosion resistance, and superior mechanical properties, Stellite 6B is the material-of-choice for the most demanding wear applications.
Excellent Hot Hardness - Stellite 6B retains hardness and wear resistance at operating temperatures up to 1800F, and once cooled to room temperature, recovers full mechancial properties including hardness.
Resists Erosive Wear and offers outstanding resistance to cavitation-erosion. The wrought structure and large chromium carbides provides excellent abrasive wear resistance comparable to much harder cast materials. Stellite 6B steam turbine erosion shields have protected steam turbine blades for over 30 years of continuous service!
Corrosion Resistance - Stellite 6B offers good resistance to a variety of corrosive media. This, combined with wear resistance, makes Stellite 6B an excellent choice in applications with both wear and corrosion, such as food handling machinery and chemical equipment.
Impact and Thermal Shock Resistance - toughness of the wrought alloy with charpy impact results 4X compared to cast material having similar chemistry.
Resists Seizing and Galling - its low coefficient of friction allows sliding contact with other metals without damage by metal pick-up. Stellite 6B is perfect for applications where lubricants can't be used: inaccessible areas where efficient lubrication is impossible, product handled can't be exposed to lubricant, or under heat or abrasive particles where lubricants decompose.
Workability - Stellite 6B sheet can be formed and welded in place to quickly cover high wear areas with minimal heat input.
Stellite 6B out performs harder materials in G65 Abrasion resistance testing.
Our knowledgable staff is ready to solve your most challenging problems.

Fighting the Petroff
I didn't receive any suggestions this week, so I chose the opening this week. This week I will examine a line that I think is white's best chance for an advantage in the highly drawish Petroff Defense.
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Nxe5 d6 4. Nf3 Nxe4 And now, instead of the main line 5. d4 5. Nc3!?
Now for the theory:
More interesting than the main line, don't you think?
Now for the examples:
The above game was a perfect example of the plusses in black's position in this opening. Gelfand shut down all chances for a white kingside attack, knowing that all rook endings and pawn endings favor black. In a mutual time scramble, Gelfand let Nisipeanu back into the game, but Nisipeanu returned the favor and black won.
Karjakin gave an excellent demonstration on how to attack the black king in this line, and was able to beat no less of a Petroff expert than Kramnik.
Vachier Lagrave played an offbeat line, so Giri was in unfamiliar territory. After the opening phase, the 2 players went back and forth with inaccuracies. After Giri made the last mistake, Vachier Lagrave started a dangerous kingside attack, but black defended excellently, and white had nothing better then a perpetual check (and even if he didn't black would give it.
Conclusion: The Petroff defense is what Grandmasters break out when they want a draw, but at club level it is seen often as well (I have faced it many times). What I have presented is what I think is white's best try for an advantage, or at least a position fertile enough to where both sides can look forward to a complex, equal fight. For those of you that have studied the positions arising after the main line (5.d4), I am sure you will agree.
If anybody has requests for next week, let me know. I didn't get any this week, so I decided what opening to use.

Developing your brand starts by creating more awareness to it. Brand awareness was defined by Investopedia as "The likelihood that consumers recognize the existence and availability of a company's product or service", and we couldn't agree more. Loving your brand is a good thing, but falling in love with it isn't. What your brand name means to you, will not necessarily feel the same for your target audience.
Brand Development starts, but never ends. It's making sure that your social channels will create a 2 way conversation with your target audience and realising PR submissions to related websites to make sure the IoT has the proper information about your brand and business.
Some brands are very self explanatory. "Beauty Bridge" is a good example to an eCommerce business selling makeup and cosmetics online, and uses a name that is self explanatory. You might not understand the meaning of the Bridge in the brand's name, but every woman knows what beauty is.
Other companies, such as StarBucks, have a name that shares nothing about the nature of the business, however, is more related to the logo, the design and the general digital line of the company. However, their brand name precedes them, and there aren't many people who don't associate StarBucks with coffee or delicious pastries.
These days, having a brand that people know will come in handy for your organic traffic efforts. When a keyword or phrase are being searched with Google or Bing, these search engines can recognize the pattern of the choices the user makes once given the search results.
If you have a known brand, than people will search for it online. Once they search you and click on the link to your website- the search engine will remember that and understand that your website is something people like to find.
You will then start to see more organic traffic coming your way via other keywords, since the increase organic traffic to your website, caused by the search of your brand, will elevate your site's SEO score for all other keywords.
When talking about rebranding, we are also talking about a change of the target audience. If you have made your business appealing to women at the ages of 24-35, rebranding might expand that into more ages or even men. Digital Brand Development is not something to be taken lightly, cause as much as you think your new brand might appeal to a bigger crowd, Re-Branding needs to be done with minimum loss to the existing brand-loyal audience.

In the Shade of the Beech….and No it isn't Autumn!
The colours in the woodland today could well be mistaken for late autumn, but no it is March 29th …nearly April.
The day did not get off to the most brilliant of starts, dark clouds suggested more of the rains we have had for a few days now, but to our surprise the sun was bold enough to break through the clouds and give us a warm Spring like day with dark shadows in the woods.
But the spring like clues were limited to the warmth from the sun that brought out that distinctive smell of Spring, that heady mix of decaying leaves from last year and new growth for the new season. Not that you could detect much new growth apart that is from the green leaves of Bluebells breaking cover and a bid for daylight….so it cannot be long before we are graced with the blue carpets of flowers that really does tell us Spring is here.
There was even a glow to the Old Man of Calke….a very special and venerable tree that has by all accounts seen well over a 1000 springs….gnarled it might be but its tentacle like branches still reach for the stars..
May be it is now safe to say Good Bye to Winter
29th March

Before there was "Downton Abbey," there was another addictive, sumptuous costume drama that intrigued American TV viewers, goading them to turn to PBS for an epic immersion into Oxford University and its eccentric enrollees. For anyone who missed the high-class "soap opera" the first time around, thank goodness for Acorn online and Amazon Prime. With persistence and determination, an Anglophile who happens to be an arctophile (or vice versa) can discover the trials and tribulations of "Brideshead Revisited."
Based on the novel, with autobiographical overtones, by Evelyn Waugh, "Brideshead Revisited" told the story of a boundary-defying friendship/relationship between two university students. The sprawling story introduced U.S. viewers to actor Jeremy Irons, who played the cerebral, articulate Charles Ryder, and to Anthony Andrews, who had the splashier, showier role of Lord Sebastian Flyte.
Set in the 1920s, the miniseries featured fashions to die-for, and it also kicked off a craze of adults admitting to (and shopping for) companion teddy bears. The very handsome, dreamy, young Andrews played a sensitive soul who attended Oxford accompanied by his ursine confidant, Aloysius. With the show airing in the United States in the early 1980s (1981 or so, to be exact), the coupling of grown men (no matter how frail and boyish) with teddy bears did get tongues a-wagging. People were intrigued by the moody Sebastian and the bear that traveled everywhere with him.
What's fascinating is that the seemingly improbable duo was based on a real-life person. While attending Oxford, Waugh became close friends with John Betjeman, who went on to become the "poet laureate" of Great Britain. Feted in his later years for his eloquence, keen wit, elegant ways, and advocacy for maintaining and preserving Victorian architecture, Betjeman was none of those things in his college days.
Instead, he was whispered about around campus for showing up at Oxford with his teddy bear companion (named Archibald Ormsby-Gore, aka Archie) and loyal toy elephant, Jumbo. Naturally, those who knew about his playthings penchant never forgot this peccadillo.
When "Brideshead Revisited" became a huge hit on both sides of the Atlantic, folks grew attached to the Sebastian character, who seemed simultaneously charismatic and tragic, sophisticated and yet so vulnerable and needy. Replicas of his TV bear friend, Aloysius, were made and sold, during the initial run of the series as well as when it went into reruns a decade later.
In real life, the true "Brideshead bear" — Archie — was the inspiration for his owner to try his hand at children's literature. In the 1940s — two decades after his sojourn as a university student — Betjeman wrote a story for his children that featured Archie as an amateur archaeologist. In the novella, he has Archie deeply interested in unearthing molehills, desperate to see if baby Druids were buried within.
The novella was published privately in Betjeman's early years, but in 1977 it was published publically and called "Archie and the Strict Baptists." In the tale, Archie was depicted as mounting and riding a hedgehog to and from church services.
This celebration of Archie as a unique bear of many talents was not the only time that Betjeman took pen to paper to extol the virtues of his stuffed friend. He also wrote a poem entitled "Archibald." In this self-revealing ode, he talks about how he had temporarily banished the bear to the attic, fearing that his father would consider him weak or "soft," if the toy was discovered.
The mystique of "Brideshead Revisited" has endured because of streaming networks, online showings, and a film re-interpretation in 2008. All viewers are always drawn to the conflicting, and conflicted, behavior of Lord Sebastian and his bear associate. Seeing a character that appears so polished, but has inner demons, and can only have them assuaged when he confides in a mute toy, is powerful and emotionally stirring. It is a tour de force role.
The inspiration for Lord Flyte — the real Sebastian — passed away in 1984. John Betjeman no longer felt the need to tuck away his Teddy or to hide his elephant toy in the rear of a closet. The novel, the miniseries, the fashion layouts that the show created, all of this allowed him to once again find comfort with his childhood favorites. It is reported that when he died, both Archie the bear and Jumbo the elephant were in his arms.
Whether that is true or just a piece of gossip that fits nicely into popular fiction, who knows? It gives comfort to all the "Brideshead Revisited" fans who always worried about the onscreen man-child who loved his teddy bear during his quest to be loved in kind.

Homemade cranberry sauce with orange juice and brown sugar, the best sauce to serve with your Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey. Ready in just 10 minutes if you use fresh cranberries, or 20 mintues if you use frozen ones.
Oranges and cranberries are at their best in the cold season. And if you combine them into a zesty sauce, you know that you have the ultimate cranberry sauce with orange juice. The brown sugar adds the subtle sweet kick, making it the easiest and best sauce you can possibly have over the festive season.
When l was a child, oranges were not easily available in my country, so every time we had oranges, this was such a big thing, the whole house was infused with a christmassy aroma. And Santa was usually bringing us sweets and bananas and oranges, and l was always over the moon.
True, nowadays they are easily available everywhere, but they only have this fresh aroma around Christmas. To me, oranges smell like Christmas. The cranberry sauce might be new to me, since we don't really serve it at Christmas in Romania, but I love it now, and really enjoy it with meat.
In Romania winters can be pretty harsh, with temperatures dropping to -30 or so in some parts of the country and lots of snow. I remember being extatic every time we had a white Christmas.
Those were really happy days. Through baking and cooking traditional dishes, l get to live again the whole magical Christmas l once had as a child.
The sauce is very popular in the UK and not only. Any shop would sell fresh or frozen cranberries or cranberry sauce around this time of the year, but making it yourself takes only 10-20 minutes and it has a lovely sharp citrussy taste.
Why buy a store-bought sauce that is way too sweet and you can hardly taste the fruit in it? Homemade is the best way, plus you can make as much as you need, no need to buy a whole jar if you are going to use less.
If you buy more cranberries and oranges, you can also make a nice batch of Cranberry & orange shortbread cookies, for another festive treat. Plus, no one will ever complain about them, they really are yummy.
You could try cranberry sauce without sugar, but I personally find it bitter, but every person is different, you might like it this way. Or you might want to use more sugar, if you'd rather have it sweeter. Cinnamon is another great addition, if you decide to use it for a boost of aroma.
I tried it with fresh cranberries and with frozen ones, and I honestly could not find any difference in taste. The only difference is in the cooking time. The fresh ones will cook quicker, no more than 10 minutes, where the frozen ones need a bit longer, about 20 minutes.
You might want to use a hand blender to make the whole cranberry sauce smoother once it is cooked, I actually quite like it this way.
No need to make it super smooth though. If you want to make a cranberry sauce with orange zest only, then use half a cup of water instead of the orange juice.

Dubai has passed on a new regulation to regulate the sale of real estate that are under construction so has to put an end to speculation which has been the cause behind the skyrocketing property prices in the emirate.
As per the law issued this week, sale of off-plan properties in Dubai need to be registered with the department prior to which, they cannot be resold, said Marwan bin Ghalita, Chief Executive, Dubai Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA).
The Standard Chartered Bank, last month, has warned that the property sector in Dubai showed signs of overheating, as speculators who have been betting on quick returns inflate prices of units that are still under construction.
Speaking about the new law, Bin Ghalita expressed his confidence that it would help curb speculation. In Dubai, laws are being introduced step by step. Further, everything is transparent as it is with the Land Department.
The property prices in Dubai have surged 79 percent since 2007, said the Morgan Stanley report, earlier this month.
Demand for properties in Dubai, the home to tallest tower in the world and three man-made islands have been increasing ever-since the government permitted foreigners to invest in properties.
The off-plan law follows the mortgage law which was passed last week, aimed to regulate the booming property sector of Dubai.
It will also prevent master and sub-developers from charging transfer fee on off-plan sales, Bin Ghalita added.
The Developers, however, can be paid with an administration fee of Dh.1000 to Dh.3000 for every transaction, once it has been approved by the Land Department.
The property prices in Dubai is likely to increase by 35 percent this year, and by another 8.5 percent in 2009, and then Dubai takes measures to weed out short-term speculators.

The first time that a new and more powerful Xbox One – now officially codenamed Project Scorpio – made it to the news was last month when an alleged leak suggest almost the same features that Microsoft has now confirmed i.e. native 4K gaming, 6 Teraflops and 8 CPU cores!
Since then, we had also discussed what could be featured in the new console while predicting everything else we wanted Microsoft to bring to the E3 2016 show floor.
However, Microsoft has just ended their E3 presentation on a very high note, confirming all those rumors about the Project Scorpio moments ago, and we couldn't be more excited.
This new console, unlike what some of the analysts were fearing, is not going to break up the community in any way. In fact, Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox Division at Microsoft says that Xbox One, the newly announced Xbox One S and Scorpio are all going to be compatible, and he further added:
Project Scorpio is actually an Xbox One that can natively run games in 4K and is built with the hardware capabilities to support the high-end VR that you see happening in the PC space today… when it ships it will be the most powerful console ever built.
This means all accessories are going to be usable with all three consoles, and all games that are playable on the Xbox One are going to be playable on the other two as well.
With virtual reality solutions making their mark in the PC gaming community very well, something like this new and powerful console was much needed. And that is exactly what Microsoft is also focusing on. They plan to use this console to truly usher the console community into the VR world and native 4K gaming.
Since this is pretty early in the development process, Microsoft did not show off what Project Scorpio looks like, or what the price will be. However, they have confirmed it will launch in holiday 2017.

Here we go again. The hypemeisters are in full swing, the prediction market is growing again - glory be, Android is coming to a phone near you tomorrow, or at least it's going to do so if you live in America. The launch is in New York, America will get the phone in October and in the UK we'll get it in November (by the way, if you guys could find all the bugs and all like you did with the iPhone so we can get a clean machine...thanks).
So, what would people want from an Android phone? The answer seemed reasonably clear until a few months ago - an affordable iPhone lookalike. The problem with that at the moment is that the iPhone has itself turned extremely affordable, free on contract on some terms in the UK. There have been remarkably few glitches with the iPhone of late - with Apple correcting a number of the faults like dropped calls before they become a massive issue.
So my guess is that whatever Android offers, and no matter how much Open Source is going to be a selling point for we geeks, it just better look good like an iPhone or nobody's going to be interested in the thing. Because no matter what people have said about the iPhone technically, no matter how good a piece of engineering it is, what's really catching people's eye is the look and feel.
Over to HTC tomorrow...

In a study of 179 patients who received hematopoietic stem cell transplants from either related or unrelated donors, plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-1 measured one week after transplant correlated with both risk for grade 2 to 4 GvHD, and with 100-day and one-year survival.
"This suggests we could target patients to prevent graft vs. host disease based on their post-transplant level of TNF," said John Levine, M.D., at the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplant annual meeting.
"If we can develop a test that can reliably predict this complication, we can then look at treating it before any symptoms develop," added Dr. Levine. "This is one small step in a long road to making transplants safer and more effective."
TNF, a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is believed to contribute to toxicity of allogeneic bone marrow transplants, is known to play a role in other inflammatory or autoimmune conditions, such as septic shock, rheumatoid arthritis, and Crohn's disease.
To see whether TNF levels could be predictive of GvHD risk, the authors looked at plasma levels of soluble TNF receptor-1 (a surrogate for circulating TNF) in 179 patients who received myeloablation and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Only patients who did not develop serious complications other than GvHD were included in the study.
The investigators found that 80 of the patients (47%) did not develop GvHD, and 99 (53%) developed it as their only serious post-transplant complication. The median time to onset of GvHD was 27 days.
Five of the patients with GvHD had grade 1 disease only. Of the remaining 94 who developed Grade 2 to 4 GvHD, the ratio of TNF receptor-1 levels from baseline to one week after transplant was 2.79, compared with 1.83 for patients who did not go on to develop GvHD. This difference was significant (P<0.001).
Elevated TNF receptor-1 levels on day seven also correlated with earlier GvHD onset and higher maximum disease grade.
In an analysis looking at survival at 100 days and one year, the investigators found that transplant recipients with TNF-receptor ratios at or less than 2.55 on day seven were more likely to be alive at day 100 and one year post-transplant than were the blood stem-cell recipients with higher day seven TNF receptor-1 ratios. This finding was true for recipients of grafts from both related and unrelated donors.
In all, 85% of patients with lower TNF receptor-1 levels were alive at one year, compared with 62% of those with higher levels.
"We conclude that early post-myeloablative transplant TNF receptor-1 ratios correlate with the subsequent development of GvHD and mortality in subjects who do not develop other serious complications in the first 100 days," the investigators wrote. "Further exploration of the predictive value of post-transplant TNFR1 ratios may help develop a diagnostic test predictive of complications days to weeks in advance of their clinical presentation."
The investigators are conducting a clinical trial to determine whether the TNF antagonist Embrel (etanercept) might be able to prevent or treat GvHD, according to study co-author Carrie Kitko, M.D.

But this post is LIFO because it's about events, not stuff. On our first day home I had stacked up a few appointments, including bloodwork (only two sticks!) and my pelvic ultrasound. While I obviously won't have the actual results from either test for a week or two, I was very encouraged by the brevity of the ultrasound. The technician didn't see any reason to prolong the exam, which in any reasonable universe can be construed to mean that there wasn't anything to see or measure.
Vacation is over even though work hasn't started. There are so many tasks to accomplish to get everyone ready for the new school year, and I'm steadily ticking them off my mental lists. My plan is to recap the summer over a series of posts arranged not chronologically but by project or event. This summer was quite different but still wonderful, and I am back in that odd place where I am happy to be home but missing nearly everything about the Cape dearly.

Jersey City Sues Port Authority|for $315 Million in Back Taxes
NEWARK, N.J. (CN) – Jersey City sued the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for more than $315 million – taxes on 40 properties in the city on which the Port Authority "pays no real estate taxes," according to a federal lawsuit.
Jersey City sued the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the Port Authority Trans-Hudson train system.
Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop threatened to sue the Port Authority in November last year, but both the city and the Port Authority had been mum until the lawsuit was filed last week.
"Our attorneys engaged in preliminary discussions to settle these matters outside of court," Mayor Fulop said in statement. "However, those discussions did not resolve the issues between the city and the Port Authority. We are moving forward with the lawsuit to ensure Jersey City receives its fair share in taxes from the Port Authority. We will not be bullied or pushed around."
The city says in its 62-page filing that the 40 properties the Port Authority owns in the city "would currently yield about $18 million annually in real estate taxes and would have yielded more than $315 million in additional tax revenue during the periods the properties have been owned by the Port Authority and taken off the tax rolls."
The city claims that "the New Jersey and New York Legislatures have provided a qualified tax exemption for Port Authority-owned properties … but the qualified exemption has been abused by the Port Authority."
Jersey City says that its loss of revenue has been "astronomical," and that the Port Authority "has benefited handsomely from its acquisition and ownership of properties in the City."
The city says that while the Port Authority has previously entered into Payment In Lieu Of Taxes (or PILOT) agreements with them, "they cover only seven of the 40 properties and generate only about $2.2 million in annual PILOT payments, which is millions of dollars less per year than if these seven properties had been regularly taxed."
The city claims that the Port Authority, during negotiations before the lawsuit was filed, took the position that "it is exempt from taxation because of its mere ownership of property" and that "it has no obligation to enter into PILOT agreements with affected municipalities."
Jersey City also claims that the Port Authority purchased an acre of land in the city in 2010, built a 177,000-square-foot office building on it and "has paid no taxes on the property and has not entered into a PILOT agreement with respect to this property."
Dozens of other properties in the Port Authority's Port Jersey marine terminal have "not yielded a dime to the city in either taxes or PILOT payments, even though the current taxes on these properties would total approximately $3.5 million a year," the city says in the complaint.
Jersey City claims that the Port Authority has also failed to reform existing PILOT agreements for city properties, one of which dates back to 1967, or to take other remedial measures "to achieve the statutory purposes that PILOT payments be fair and reasonable to the end that a municipality not suffer an undue loss of taxes and assessments."
It adds: "Both the city and its counsel have made requests under the Port Authority's Freedom of Information Code for documents relevant not only to Port Authority-owned properties in the city but also the Port Authority's inconsistent treatment of properties in other municipalities but to no avail. …
"After months of delay tactics and boilerplate letters that do not even comply with the Port Authority's own rules, not a single document has been produced by the Port Authority."
Port Authority spokesman Steve Coleman said in a statement that "Jersey City's claims are without merit, and we will vigorously defend ourselves against these allegations."
Coleman told the Newark Star Ledger in an email that "the vitality of Jersey City has been important to the Port Authority for many years, and that's why we invested more than $1 billion to create a modern, robust PATH system that serves tens of thousands of city residents daily. It's also why we acquired and invested millions in the Global Terminal, giving the city a thriving, job-creating port facility."
This is not the first time the Port Authority has been sued over its properties. In 1998, Newark sued the agency, seeking underpaid rent.
The Port Authority eventually settled that case by handing over $100 million in tax relief to the city, plus $12.5 million annually for capital improvement projects.
Jersey City seeks declaratory judgment that "the Port Authority is not entitled to an unqualified tax exemption" and ordering it to "pay all back real estate taxes which are due and owing."
The city is represented by Richard Rudin with Weiner Lesniak of Parsippany, N.J.
Weiner Lesniak represented Newark in 1998 when it sued the Port Authority.
The Port Authority, which manages ports, bridges, tunnels, the PATH system, airports and other properties in the New York metro region, has been much in the news this year.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's aides and appointees have been accused of closing lanes on the George Washington Bridge as political retribution against a mayor who refused to endorse Christie.
And The Wall Street Journal has reported that 1 World Trade Center, built with the Port Authority as redeveloper at the cost of $3.9 billion and scheduled to open this year, is still only 55 percent leased, and recently slashed its rent.

All aspects of receiving an email in Haraka are controlled via plugins. No mail can even be received unless at least a 'rcpt' and 'queue' plugin are enabled.
Recipient (rcpt) plugins determine if a particular recipient is allowed to be relayed or received for. A queue plugin queues the message somewhere - normally to disk or to an another SMTP server.
Get a list of built-in plugins by running:
haraka -l -c /path/to/config
Display the help text for a plugin by running:
haraka -h <name> -c /path/to/config
Omit the
-c /path/to/config to see only the plugins supplied with Haraka
(not your local plugins in your
config directory).
Writing Haraka Plugins
Anatomy of a Plugin
Plugins in Haraka are JS files in the
plugins directory or npm
modules in the node_modules directory. See "Plugins as Modules" below for
more information on this.
Plugins can be installed in the Haraka global directory (default:
/$os/$specific/lib/node_modules/Haraka) or in the Haraka install directory
(whatever you chose when you typed
haraka -i. Example:
haraka -i /etc/haraka
To enable a plugin, add its name to
Register a Hook
There are two ways for plugins to register hooks. Both examples register a function on the rcpt hook:
register_hookfunction in register():
exports.register = function() { this.register_hook('rcpt', 'my_rcpt_validate'); };
exports.my_rcpt_validate = function (next, connection, params) { // do processing next(); };
The hook_[$name] syntax:
exports.hook_rcpt = function (next, connection, params) { // do processing next(); };
Register a Hook Multiple Times
To register the same hook more than once, call
register_hook() multiple times with the same hook name:
exports.register = function() {
this.register_hook('queue', 'try_queue_my_way');
this.register_hook('queue', 'try_queue_highway');
try_queue_my_way() calls
next(), the next function registered on hook queue will be called, in this case,
Determine hook name
When a single function runs on multiple hooks, the function can check the hook property of the connection or hmail argument to determine which hook it is running on:
exports.register = function() {
this.register_hook('rcpt', 'my_rcpt');
this.register_hook('rcpt_ok', 'my_rcpt');
exports.my_rcpt = function (next, connection, params) {
var hook_name = connection.hook; // rcpt or rcpt_ok
// email address is in params[0]
// do processing
After registering a hook, functions are called with that hooks arguments (see Available Hooks below. The first argument is a callback function, conventionally named
next. When the function is completed, it calls
next() and the connection continues. Failing to call
next() will result in the connection hanging until that plugin's timer expires.
next([code, msg]) accepts two optional parameters:
codeis one of the listed return codes.
msgis a string to send to the client in case of a failure. Use an array to send a multi-line message.
msgshould NOT contain the code number - that is handled by Haraka.
Next() Return Codes
These constants are in your plugin when it is loaded, you do not need to define them:
Continue and let other plugins handle this particular hook. This is the default. These are identical:
DENY - Reject with a 5xx error.
DENYSOFT - Reject with a 4xx error.
DENYDISCONNECT - Reject with a 5xx error and immediately disconnect.
DISCONNECT - Immediately disconnect
Required by
rcptplugins to accept a recipient and
queueplugins when the queue was successful.
After a plugin calls
next(OK), no further plugins on that hook will run.
Exceptions to next(OK):
connect_init and disconnect hooks are always called.
On the deny hook,
next(OK)overrides the default CONT.
HOOK_NEXT is only available on the
unrecognized_commandhook. It instructs Haraka to run a different plugin hook. The
msgargument must be set to the name of the hook to be run. Ex:
next(HOOK_NEXT, 'rcpt_ok');
Available Hooks
These are the hook and their parameters (next excluded):
- init_master - called when the main (master) process is started
- init_child - in cluster, called when a child process is started
- init_http - called when Haraka is started.
- init_wss - called after init_http
- connect_init - used to init data structures, called for every connection
- lookup_rdns - called to look up the rDNS - return the rDNS via
next(OK, rdns)
- connect - called after we got rDNS
- capabilities - called to get the ESMTP capabilities (such as STARTTLS)
- unrecognized_command - called when the remote end sends a command we don't recognise
- disconnect - called upon disconnect
- helo (hostname)
- ehlo (hostname)
- quit
- vrfy
- noop
- rset
- mail ([from, esmtp_params])
- rcpt ([to, esmtp_params])
- rcpt_ok (to)
- data - called at the DATA command
- data_post - called at the end-of-data marker
- max_data_exceeded - called when the message exceeds connection.max_bytes
- queue - called to queue the mail
- queue_outbound - called to queue the mail when connection.relaying is set
- queue_ok - called when a mail has been queued successfully
- reset_transaction - called before the transaction is reset (via RSET, or MAIL)
- deny - called when a plugin returns DENY, DENYSOFT or DENYDISCONNECT
- get_mx (hmail, domain) - called by outbound to resolve the MX record
- deferred (hmail, params) - called when an outbound message is deferred
- bounce (hmail, err) - called when an outbound message bounces
- delivered (hmail, [host, ip, response, delay, port, mode, ok_recips, secured, authenticated]) - called when outbound mail is delivered
- send_email (hmail) - called when outbound is about to be sent
- pre_send_trans_email (fake_connection) - called just before an email is queued to disk with a faked connection object
The rcpt hook is slightly special.
When connection.relaying == false (the default, to avoid being an open relay), a rcpt plugin MUST return
next(OK) or the sender will receive the error message "I cannot deliver for that user". The default rcpt plugin is rcpt_to.in_host_list, which lists the domains for which to accept email.
After a rcpt plugin calls
next(OK), the rcpt_ok hook is run.
If a plugin prior to the rcpt hook sets connection.relaying = true, then it is not necessary for a rcpt plugin to call
connect_init hook is unique in that all return codes are ignored. This is so that plugins that need to do initialization for every connection can be assured they will run. Return values are ignored.
hook_init_http (next, Server)
If http listeners are are enabled in http.ini and the express module loaded, the express library will be located at Server.http.express. More importantly, the express app / instance will be located at Server.http.app. Plugins can register routes on the app just as they would with any Express.js app.
hook_init_wss (next, Server)
If express loaded, an attempt is made to load ws, the websocket server. If it succeeds, the wss server will be located at Server.http.wss. Because of how websockets work, only one websocket plugin will work at a time. One plugin using wss is watch.
pre_send_trans_email (next, fake_connection)
fake connection here is a holder for a new transaction object. It only has the log methods and a
transaction property
so don't expect it to behave like a a real connection object. This hook is designed so you can add headers and modify mails
sent via
outbound.send_email(), see the dkim_sign plugin for an example.
Hook Order
The ordering of hooks is determined by the SMTP protocol. Knowledge of RFC 5321 is beneficial.
Typical Inbound Connection
- hook_connect_init
- hook_lookup_rdns
- hook_connect
- hook_helo OR hook_ehlo (EHLO is sent when ESMTP is desired which allows extensions
such as STARTTLS, AUTH, SIZE etc.)
- hook_helo
- hook_ehlo
- hook_capabilities
- hook_unrecognized_command is run for each ESMTP extension the client requests e.g. STARTTLS, AUTH etc.)
- hook_mail
- hook_rcpt (once per-recipient)
- hook_rcpt_ok (for every recipient that hook_rcpt returned
- hook_data
- [attachment hooks]
- hook_data_post
- hook_queue OR hook_queue_outbound
- hook_queue_ok (called if hook_queue or hook_queue_outbound returns
- hook_quit OR hook_rset OR hook_helo OR hook_ehlo (after a message has been sent or rejected, the client can disconnect or start a new transaction with RSET, EHLO or HELO)
- hook_reset_transaction
- hook_disconnect
Typical Outbound mail
By 'outbound' we mean messages using Haraka's built-in queue and delivery
mechanism. The Outbound queue is used when
connection.relaying = true is set during the transaction and
hook_queue_outbound is called to queue the message.
The Outbound hook ordering mirrors the Inbound hook order above until after
hook_queue_outbound, which is followed by:
- hook_send_email
- hook_get_mx
- at least one of:
- hook_delivered (once per delivery domain with at least one successfull recipient)
- hook_deferred (once per delivery domain where at least one recipient or connection was deferred)
- hook_bounce (once per delivery domain where the recipient(s) or message was rejected by the destination)
Plugin Run Order
Plugins are run on each hook in the order that they are specified in
config/plugins. When a plugin returns anything other than
next() on a hook, all subsequent plugins due to run on that hook are skipped (exceptions: connect_init, disconnect).
This is important as some plugins might rely on
results or
notes that have been set by plugins that need to run before them. This should be noted in the plugins documentation. Make sure to read it.
If you are writing a complex plugin, you may have to split it into multiple plugins to run in a specific order e.g. you want hook_deny to run last after all other plugins and hook_lookup_rdns to run first, then you can explicitly register your hooks and provide a
priority value which is an integer between -100 (highest priority) to 100 (lowest priority) which defaults to 0 (zero) if not supplied. You can apply a priority to your hook in the following way:
exports.register = function() {
var plugin = this;
plugin.register_hook('connect', 'hook_connect', -100);
This would ensure that your hook_connect function will run before any other
plugins registered on the
connect hook, regardless of the order it was
specified in
Check the order that the plugins will run on each hook by running:
haraka -o -c /path/to/config
Plugins inherit all the logging methods of
logger.js, which are:
- logprotocol
- logdebug
- loginfo
- lognotice
- logwarn
- logerror
- logcrit
- logalert
- logemerg
If plugins throw an exception when in a hook, the exception will be caught and generate a logcrit level error. However, exceptions will not be caught as gracefully when plugins are running async code. Use error codes for that, log the error, and run your next() function appropriately.
Sharing State
There are several cases where you might need to share information between
plugins. This is done using
notes - there are three types available:
Available in all plugins. This is created at PID start-up and is shared amongst all plugins on the same PID and listener. Typical uses for notes at this level would be to share database connections between multiple plugins or connection pools etc.
Available on any hook that passes 'connection' as a function parameter. This is shared amongst all plugins for a single connection and is destroyed after the client disconnects. Typical uses for notes at this level would be to store information about the connected client e.g. rDNS names, HELO/EHLO, white/black list status etc.
Available on any hook that passes 'connection' as a function parameter between hook_mail and hook_data_post. This is shared amongst all plugins for this transaction (e.g. MAIL FROM through until a message is received or the connection is reset). Typical uses for notes at this level would be to store information on things like greylisting which uses client, sender and recipient information etc.
Available on any outbound hook that passes
hmailas a function parameter. This is the same object as 'connection.transaction.notes', so anything you store in the transaction notes is automatically available in the outbound functions here.
All of these notes are JS objects - use them as simple key/value store e.g.
connection.transaction.notes.test = 'testing';
Plugins as Modules
Plugins as NPM modules are named with the
haraka-plugin prefix. Therefore, a
plugin that frobnobricates might be called
haraka-plugin-frobnobricate and
published to NPM with that name. The prefix is not required in the
config/plugins file.
Plugins loaded as NPM modules behave slightly different than plugins loaded as plain JS files.
Plain JS plugins have a custom
require() which allows loading core Haraka
modules via specifying
require('./name') (note the
./ prefix). Although
the core modules aren't in the same folder, the custom
require intercepts
this and look for core modules. Note that if there is a module in your plugins
folder of the same name that will not take preference, so avoid using names
similar to core modules.
Plugins loaded as modules do not have the special
require(). To load
a core Haraka module you must use
This should also be preferred for plain JS plugins, as the
./ hack is likely to be removed in the future.
Plugins loaded as modules are not compiled in the Haraka plugin sandbox,
which blocks access to certain globals and provides a global
server object.
To access the
server object, use
connection.server instead.
Module plugins support default config in their local
config directory. See the
"Default Config and Overrides" section in Config.
On shutdown and graceful reload, Haraka will call a plugin's
shutdown method.
This is so you can clear any timers or intervals, or shut down any connections to remote servers.
exports.shutdown = function () {
If you don't implement this in your plugin and have a connection open or a timer running then Haraka will take 30 seconds to shut down and have to forcibly kill your process.
Note: This only applies when running with a
nodes=... value in smtp.ini.
