Sapsuckers & Hummingbirds
The Morse Code tapping of Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers has just started reverberating in northern New England woodlands once again – a sure sign of spring. There is an interesting relationship between sapsuckers and hummingbirds, with hummingbirds reaping most of the benefits. It is thought that the Ruby-throated Hummingbird may time its migration north to coincide with that of the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker in some areas. In northern New England, hummingbirds arrive on their breeding grounds about a month after sapsuckers, insuring that sapsucker-drilled sap wells will be waiting for them. The reason this is important is that these wells are an important source of nutrients (both sap and insects attracted to it) for hummingbirds as well as sapsuckers. In addition, and not surprisingly, hummingbirds often place their nest near sap wells. This affinity for sap continues well past the nesting season – – hummingbirds have been observed following sapsuckers throughout summer days.

Just pulled taps from my maples this weekend. Most have stopped flowing, but a few holes had some sap still. Am wondering if anyone has seen hummers drinking from tap holes at the end of sugaring season?

How do we identify the sap wells, and what trees are they on?
April 10, 2017 at 7:28 pm
I've only recently discovered your blog Mary – what a pleasure it is to read. We live in northwest Wisconsin, quite a way from New England, but much of what you say pertinent to us. I learned about sapsuckers when we first tried to tap our maple trees and I've been fascinated by them ever since. One of our trees is a sapsucker magnet – it's covered in old, healed sapwells and the sapsucker returns each year to make new ones (I watched him digging one yesterday in fact). The trunk of this particular tree is black from the fungus that grows on all of the sugar that streams down the bark. I've never seen a hummingbird drink from the sapwells, but I have seen yellow-rumped warblers do it, also ruby-crowned kinglets and once, a purple finch (observations made while waiting patiently, trying to photograph the sapsucker!). This year, while collecting maple sap at the end of March, I found a comma butterfly, presumably recently emerged from hibernation, feeding on the sap that was streaming from a natural break in the bark. One question – do you know why the sapsucker drills a horizontal row of holes in the maple but vertical rows in other trees, such as birch?

Backgammon Points that Change Identity
Backgammon is a game that uses points to move checker pieces on. As squares are to chess and checkers so points are to backgammon. Backgammon points are, however, very different from chess and checkers squares. These points change in identity and function throughout a game.
A space or point where backgammon checkers move on are steep triangles consecutively arranged on a board. There are 24 triangles or points in all—12 on one side and 12 on another. When seen on the board these triangles seem like an eastern triangular design pattern. Backgammon pieces are laid out on the board in a prescribed way and then we roll the dice to determine the number of the first moves to be done.
Before any checker is placed on these points, they are termed as open points. Open points are simply unoccupied points or spaces. Once we roll the dice and start moving checkers the identity of the points alter, according to the number of checkers on them. So first they are open points. When a checker occupies a point it ceases to be open but becomes a blot. If still another checker (an ally of the first checker occupant) lands on the point, the point ceases to be a mere blot—it now becomes a prime.
When two or more checkers are on a point it becomes a prime. The presence and absence of checkers on a point affect its identity and function. We see here that backgammon points can become blots or primes and then return back to being open points. They are all points but with different functions. An open point is a free point. A blot is occupied by a lone checker. A prime is occupied by 2 or more allied checkers. On no point should two non-allied checkers be placed.
Points as open points are neutral grounds. Points as blots are susceptible to hits. Points as primes become strong fortresses owned by a player temporarily. It is very essential that we are able to identify these varying types of points on the board before we decide or make any move in backgammon. Our wise decisions are based on what these points have temporarily turned out to be. Defensively, we need open points and primes. We also need primes for our offensive.
So, backgammon points help us a lot in planning what strategy to use in a particular phase of a game. When we have identified what points are useful or harmful for us, then we can move safely.

Blackburn Rovers ended 2017 with a home match against Scunthorpe United in a top 4 league one clash.
Despite Rovers unbeaten run, they could not end the year with a win at Ewood Park and had to settle for a share of the points with 4th place Scunthorpe.
Danny Graham was the hero for Rovers as he scored both goals for Blackburn, however Scunthorpe equalized on both occasions. Rovers defensive blunders cost them all 3 points, however they need to dust themselves off and go again as they take on Rotherham United in less than 48 hours.
Hear the thoughts from Tony and supporters like me.

Naturally, your garden is sure to play a large part in this. After all, there are few things more enjoyable than an al fresco meal, an afternoon of games or an evening barbeque in the safe and leafy surrounds of your very own garden.
However, it is fair to say that many gardens don't look as though they are quite ready to accommodate outdoor meals, games and barbeques at this time of year. To be sure, three or four months of wintry weather has a way of making even the most well cared for gardens look tired and dishevelled.
So, chances are; if you are looking to enjoy the benefits of your garden this spring and summer, you will most likely have to go out of your way to ensure it is fit for purpose. Fortunately, this is relatively easy to achieve as long as you are willing to put in a little bit of time, thought and effort.
Careful PlanningAs with interior design projects, planning is of paramount importance when it comes to creating a garden to meet your needs. With this in mind, the first thing you should do is draw up an outline of the different landscaping areas you want to have in your garden. For instance, you may want to have a patio area just outside your back door so that you can enjoy barbeques on it with friends and family in the summer. Similarly, you may like the idea of having a decent fence to ensure you get plenty of privacy. Regardless of what your own particular desires might be, you should be able to turn them into reality with a little bit of careful planning.
Functional FeaturesIt often helps to have one or two major features in your garden as these will help your garden to look inviting and be more functional. Indeed, a decent outdoor table and chairs set or a beautiful wooden bench can draw the eye and provide those enjoying the fresh air with a place to sit and relax. A metal–framed hammock or garden arbour seat can help to achieve the same thing whilst also delivering a little more in the way of decadence.
Finishing TouchesOnce you have your garden landscaped to your requirements and resplendent with suitably functional features, you'll simply need to add a few finishing touches. For instance, you could install a few outside cigarette bins to keep fag butts off of your lovely new patio or hang some LED lights to help illuminate your al fresco meals.

Pickled Jalapeños made from scratch. Spicy, tangy, and slightly sweet.
Watch the VIDEO below or follow the step-by-step pictures to make this Mexican food classic.
Also called "Jalapeños en Escabeche" or "Chiles en Vinagre."
I'm totally obsessed with Pickled Jalapeños.
They make a great addition to Milanesa de Pollo or next to Pollo Adobado.
Out of all my recipes, this recipe for is in my top 5.
Once you try it, you'll understand my madness.
How to Make Pickled Jalapeños
You're going to need a lot of fresh jalapeños. This is 1 lb.
FYI: If you see yellow lines along the side of the jalapeno, that means it is spicier.
If you cut them sideways, like in the picture above, you can't take out as many seeds.
In Spanish, these slices are referred to as "nachos."
A term that comes from the Tex Mex favorite dish of nachos. You know, tortilla chips and melted cheese, etc.
If you can't handle the heat like I can, use rubber gloves.
You can slice them lengthwise which is referred to in Spanish as "rajas."
This is my preferred way because you can remove the seeds.
Especially if you're giving these pickled jalapeños away as a gift, you want to remove as much of the heat as possible.
Not everyone likes spicy food. Shocking, I know!
Set those aside and chop the next ingredients. I like carrots and onions.
Other vegetables you can add: cauliflower and broccoli.
My older brother and I used to fight each other for the carrot slices when we were kids.
I still love pickled carrots. That's why I add so many. If carrots ain't yo thang, don't use them.
I like thick pieces, but some people prefer the thin slices. To please everyone, I do both.
Next time, I make an escabeche, I'll do just carrots.
Escabeche, by the way, means "marinade." Usually it references a pickled food.
Onion is also something you find with Chiles en Vinagre, or Pickled Jalapeños.
You can cut them however you like. Me, I can be lazy. These are simply quartered.
You can also slice them and use as a topping for your tacos.
If you are not an onion person, it's ok to leave them out.
There are different ways to make chiles en vinagre, Jalapeños en escabeche, or whatever you want to call them. lol.
Please know that this is the way that I was taught, and it is one of my favorite recipes EVER!
My Pickled Jalapeños recipe starts by heating oil in a large stockpot.
Pull out the large stockpot you have. This makes two large containers or 4 small containers.
Then add the carrots.
Stir occasionally, making sure they don't burn.
Cook for 3-4 minutes.
If they get burned you will need to start all over again.
You will also need to wash the pot to get out all of the burned smell.
Add all the jalapeños.
Stir occasionally. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
Watch those carrots. You don't want them to over cook.
FYI: Chiles en Vinagre translated means "chiles in a vinegar marinade."
We have so many names for things in Spanish. Jalapeños en Escabeche is a common term you will hear.
If you find a restaurant that makes its own Pickled Jalapeños, chances are they also sell them.
Add the onions. The onions don't take long to cook.
Maybe 1-2 minutes.
Have all your ingredients ready. This next part will go fast.
Add garlic.
It will give the Chiles en Vinagre, or Pickled Jalapeños, a great flavor.
If you don't like garlic, you can take it out later.
Even though.. I've seen people eat the pickled garlic whole.
Something about that just doesn't sit with me, but Hey! To each their own.
Now time for the vinegar.
This is white distilled vinegar.
You can also use apple cider vinegar.
We use a lot of vinegar in Mexico. Not just for cooking but also for cleaning.
Add water. This recipe calls for a 1:1 ratio water to vinegar.
For these 2 cups of water, you need 2 cups of vinegar.
If you need more water, add more vinegar.
Oregano is a must in my book.
You can add it as is here, or crush it slightly in your hand before adding to the pot.
It's up to you, though, and your taste. If you are not a fan of oregano, simply omit.
However, oregano adds a lot to this Pickled Jalapeños recipe.
Laurel leaves or Bay leaves.
The more, the better.
These are 6 bay leaves.
Add them to the storing container, but be sure to remove before eating the chiles.
Whole peppercorn is best. If you don't have them, use ground pepper.
I sometimes will use a combination of the two.
Cloves. Pretty sure this is what makes this Pickled Jalapeños recipe amazing.
It gives the chiles an earthiness and depth.
I know it might sound a little weird, but I highly encourage you to try it once. Then decide for yourself.
Then when you add the sugar, you'll get these spicy and sweet jalapeños… DROOL!
There are a lot of people who don't like Pickled Jalapeños. The sugar really helps with the heat.
It really throws people off guard when they first taste the sweet and then the heat.
Can't forget the salt. Give everything a good stir.
You want to use good salt. Pink salt or sea salt preferred.
Cover with a lid. Bring it all up to boil.
5-7 minutes, or until the carrots are fork tender.
How Long Do the Pickled Jalapeños Last?
Fill your container and store up to a week.
They last in the fridge for 1-2 months.
If you decide to can them, they last up to 3 years.
Hope you enjoy this recipe!

Not Just Techies
Cooper Parry was established 150 years ago as a firm of accountants and since then we have grown to offer an array of business services from R&D claims, wealth planning, business audits and tax advice which all work side by side to our fast growing technology department.
Technology for you
We become an integral part of your IT strategy covering everything from moving you to the cloud to implementing Bot and AI technologies. Another big advantage of working with us is the access to our R&D and audit departments where we can help businesses maximise the costs and funding of new technologies which few other businesses can offer. We get under the skin of your business so we can give you all of the new technology that sets you apart from your competition.
What we're talking about…
Our Leadership team
I started my career in IT at the tender age of 18 and by the time I reached 21 I had seen an opportunity in the market to start my own business providing IT support to SME's. The business soon took off and was successfully sold back in 2011. Since then I have been advising other businesses on how to use technology to help them succeed. In 2015 I had an amazing opportunity to head up the IT division here at Cooper Parry where we have seen substantial growth and are now providing technology advice to over 250 businesses worldwide. I love introducing new tech to our client's and I love seeing them grow and succeed because of the help we give them, but more than anything I love making people happy, not just our clients but the people I work with too.
I've been in IT for over 22 years, 11 of which have been with Cooper Parry, I'm the Technology Partner for the firm. I absolutely love technology and the way its always changing, I'm a real geek! I have a real passion for IT and how it can be used to make a real difference.
I love my job as I get to travel the world helping businesses big and small radically change with technology, from working with Henry Schein in New York by implementing Microsoft NAV to business analysis for BA in Sydney.
We're always striving to be better and disruptive in our marketplace. As Operations Director in IT Solutions, I make sure our clients have an IT strategy that supports their business, makes it more efficient and helps it grow. I love working with a great team in such a people-centred company.
Streamlining what we do to make us more efficient and give our clients a better, more proactive service is what drives me.
If clients feel supported and are happy, then I'm super happy!
My 'title' is Consultancy Director, but that can mean different things from day to day! Typically I look after our Business Systems teams. We are one of the top partners worldwide for implementing Microsoft's Dynamics 365 Business Central, and we also work closely with our partners for clients who need Dynamics 365 for Sales, PSA and Field Service.
We also provide business analysis and consultancy services to our clients, as we strongly believe that a successful system hinges on rock solid processes.
I've been with Cooper Parry since 2008. I qualified as a chartered accountant in our Audit team and moved across to IT Solutions in 2012. Having a background in audit means I can really understand a clients' business needs. In fact, one of our key strengths is the depth of financial knowledge in our team as we have a number of qualified finance consultants. We can analyse a clients' issues, provide recommendations for improvement and combine expertise across both business systems and the infrastructure to support them.
I enjoy working with clients to understand their problems and frustrations with technology. I get massive satisfaction in helping them understand how a new solution or process can really help transform a problem or make their life easier. I'm just as happy talking technology solutions to technical engineers as I am MD's and CEO's, my mantra is not to bamboozle with tech, but more to pass on insight and information at a level that's appropriate and relevant.
I'm the head of service delivery and look after the account managers and service desk. I'm here to ensure we do an amazing job for all of our clients and that our team are given all of the support they need. We're a proactive bunch, always identifying ways to improve, streamline and make our clients systems work exactly as they should for them. I love making everyone happy and we do that by doing an amazing job.
Nice words from clients…
"Working with Cooper Parry IT has allowed us to take huge steps forward with our IT."
"Whilst we're naturally delighted with the end result, we are even more impressed by the team."
"Cooper Parry do a great job and take away any IT worries when opening our new sites."
"They are part of our DNA, we have had a great long lasting partnership and one set to continue."

Grey's Anatomy Bests CSI
In arguably the first big marquee matchup of the new season, the premiere of ABC's Grey's Anatomy was the big winner, averaging a 10.9 rating/26 share at 9-10 in the key 18-49 demo, vs. CSI's 7.5/8 for its premiere on CBS.
A total of about 25 million viewers tuned in to Grey's to about 22 million for CSI.
ABC won the night with a 7.2/19 in the demo to second-place CBS' 6/16. CBS won the 8-9 hour with Survivor (6.4/18), leaving NBC's sitcom premieres of Earl and The Office in third place, 3.7/11 and a 4.3/11, respectively behind a clip show of Grey's (4.8/13) on ABC.
NBC was third for the night with a 4.8/12. Its top show was ER at 10, whose season premiere (6.8/18) easily beat. Six Degrees did a good number, but benefited from the whopping Grey's lead-in. Its first half-hour average was a 6.6/17, but that fell to a 4.9/13 in the second half-hour, while ER's premiere built from a 6.6/17 to a 6.9/19 over the same time. Shark dropped from a 4.5/11 in its first half-hour to a 4/11 in its second.
Fox was a blink-and-you-missed it fourth place with a 1.6/4 for new episodes of sitcoms 'Til Death and Happy Hour and the tanking reality competition Celebrity Duets (1.2/9).

snow day
The infamous blizzard of 2015 may have been a let-down in some states, but not here in Boston. We got easily over two feet of snow on Monday to Tuesday, with probably closer to 30 or 32 inches. Plus, right now it is snowing (lightly) again. Where is it all supposed to go? It's already impossible to see at intersections or when backing out of our driveway. Still, it was a good day. We didn't lose power and no one had to go into work (there was a travel ban on Tuesday, so things were pretty much shut down).
Probably more pictures than anyone ever wants to see, but it is pretty surreal to see so much snow everywhere. Luckily it was light and easy to shovel, and since we had power and plenty of food and heat, we were able to enjoy a cozy snow day at home.

You're Entitled to Your Contact Lens Prescription
FTC plans tighter regulation to make doctors comply
VStock RF/Getty Images
Too many eye doctors are not giving their patients a copy of their contact lens prescriptions. And that doesn't sit well with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which has required contact lens prescribers to automatically give patients a written prescription for free since 2004.
Without a prescription, consumers are unable to shop around for the best deal on their lenses. The regulatory agency also requires eye care professionals to verify or provide a prescription to any contact lens seller upon request.
After numerous consumer complaints, the FTC has issued a proposed rule requiring doctors to get a signed acknowledgment from their patients that they had received their prescriptions.
"People just don't know about the rules, and there are some bad actors playing a few games to keep customers captive," says Linda Sherry, director of national priorities for Consumer Action, a not-for-profit consumer rights organization. The 60 percent of contact lens consumers that Consumer Action surveyed didn't know they were entitled to a free copy of their prescription.
Consumers, eye doctors and companies that sell contact lenses have been arguing over the availability of prescriptions for more than a decade.
On one side are consumers who want to be able to comparison shop for their lenses, which they can do only if they have their prescription. Eye doctors, who are losing business to competing contact lens sellers, contend patients' health may be jeopardized if they buy lenses from unscrupulous dealers. Online, warehouse and other contact lens sellers say consumers are unable to get lower-cost contact lenses because doctors aren't verifying prescriptions or giving a copy to their patients.
Many eye doctors oppose the additional regulations. "The American Optometric Association has long held that the FTC's Contact Lens Rule changes weaken the doctor-patient relationship, place burdensome requirements on America's eye doctors and ultimately ignore online contact-lens retailers who are subverting the current laws," says association president Christopher J. Quinn.

So I thought, what's crazier than making my own version of Tobin's Spirit Guide. 2 seconds later, "I know, I'll create a Timeline file!" Well, that's basically how it happened but after several months; it is complete: a Microsoft Excel xls file that contains all events in the world of the Ghostbusters. They are divided into three tabs: All Canon, Animated Canon, and Movie Canon.
All Canon includes Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, The Real Ghostbusters, Slimer!, Extreme Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters: The Video Game, and select events from the Ghostbusters International Role-Playing Game version of Tobin's Spirit Guide.
Animated Canon includes The Real Ghostbusters, Slimer!, and Extreme Ghostbusters.
Movie Canon includes Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, Ghostbusters: The Video Game, and select events from the Ghostbusters International Role-Playing Game version of Tobin's Spirit Guide.
Columns are divided by Timeframe, Month, Day, Year, Era, Event, Stated, Conjecture, Reasoning, Source, Franchise, Production Number, and Year/Network/Season.
Timeframe entails descriptions of time that cover more than a day in length such as "March 13-14."
Month entails the standard 12 months of the year.
Day is easy enough to understand.
Year, as well.
Era entails either B.C. or A.D.
Event is a description of the event in time.
Stated records who stated the event, era, year, day, month, and/or timeframe.
Conjecture records if timeframe, month, day, year, and/or era is an educated guess.
Reasoning elaborates on Stated and provides further information.
Source states the name of the episode, movie, book, or video game the event occurs in.
Franchise entails abbreviations of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II as "GB," The Real Ghostbusters as "RGB," Slimer! as "S!," Extreme Ghostbusters as "EGB," Ghostbusters: The Video Game as "TVG," and select events from the Ghostbusters International Role-Playing Game version of Tobin's Spirit Guide as "GBI."
Production Number records production numbers, usually, of episodes from the animated series.
Year/Network/Season likewise records such of episodes from the animated series, as well.
It can be downloaded at my website here
Fingers crossed Sanctum of Slime and Ghostbusters III don't throw a monkey wrench or two in the gears. Eh, I'll just make a new tab. Enjoy!
EDIT: 11/1/11 - The file is no longer available to download. All information can be found in the Timeline project here on the wiki.

Our research group is interested in exploration of the diversity of viruses on our planet. Specifically, we study viruses associated with the third domain of life, the Archaea, and isolate them from geothermally heated areas in various regions of active volcanism and active tectonics.
Two dozens of unique DNA viruses – classified in 11 different virus families – which parasitize hyperthermophilic Archaea, have been discovered, isolated and characterized by us. The results of our research lead to the notion that viruses of hyperthermophilic Archaea form a particular group in the viral world, different from viruses of Bacteria and Eukarya, and provide insights into basic problems of evolution of viruses and their interactions with host cells.

Gareth Gates Partied in Peterborough
By Carol, 2nd Jul 2018 | Follow this author

Posted in WikinutCelebritiesMusic
This last weekend we travelled to Peterborough for a Gareth Gates gig Read on to find out more.
Gareth Gates Partied in Peterborough
During our holiday week in Suffolk, we took some time out to travel to Peterborough for a Gareth Gates gig. I was very excited, as I haven't seen him since the panto last Christmas. Our journey was fairly good, not much traffic , considering it was Saturday, we felt that was a good result.
It was a hot day, so we parked in the car park, and went for a walk, finding a nice place to eat just off the main road in a quiet street. We stayed there until it was time to go over and get in our seats
I was impressed with The Broadway Theatre. It had a flight of steps up to it, then inside the decor was pleasing to the eye. When we took our seats, I noted the spaciousness of the arena itself, the seats were comfortable, and the aisles wide, which must be a blessing for anyone in a wheelchair. So many shops and theatres don't cater for this, which deprives anyone in a wheelchair of being able to enjoy a theatre outing, so I applaud them for this.
I recognised many diehard Gareth fans from other occasions, so it was nice to to catch up with a friendly chat. Some had travelled quite a distance to see him. We knew he wouldn't be on immediately, a support act came on first, and I think he may have been a local young man, as there were cheers and whistles from the back of the theatre. I think it must be hard to be a support act for a well known celebrity, as you must be aware that most of the audience are waiting for their man, but he had a pleasant voice, and sang some nice songs, and seemed to go down well with the audience.
The it was time for Gareth
After an interval, everyone returned to their seats, and Gareth came bouncing onto the stage. He was dressed in a grey suit, looking very dapper, but I wondered if he felt hot. He wore light casual shoes, and I noticed he didn't have any socks on. Years ago Gareth was famed for always wearing two pairs of socks, a white pair underneath a dark pair, but this was not the case this time.
He always have a varied choice of songs, his soulful and pure voice is captivating when he sings soul and ballads, but he is equally at home belting out rock songs. The set of songs he sang were the best i have ever heard, some of his well known favourites, such as UNCHAINED MELODY, and IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE OF US, also THAT'S WHEN YOU KNOW, but his rendition of songs by other artistes was so good, I couldn't help wishing that he had recorded them first. I wish I could remember them , but SHALALA sticks in my mind, and HEAD UNDER WATER, as well as DANCE WITH MY FATHER I think it is called. not hear it before, but i loved it.
He stepped it up into party mood with VALERIE, and other rock favourites, so much so that the audience left their seats and crowded round the stage , as well as taking photos, behind me were groups of very tall people dancing. Then they returned to their seats when he went on the keyboard, his rendition of YESTERDAY is truly beautiful, and sung so sincerely, it drew everyone in. He has so much charisma, and he knows how to reach the audience.
The End Came too soon.
We were all having such a good time, before we knew it , Gareth announced it was the last song He always likes to include his audience, so he sang SPIRIT IN THE SKY, and invited people to go up and sing a verse with him. This always goes down well, and I was delighted to see my friend Ann go up and have a turn.
As is customary, we shouted MORE, and he came back to oblige one more time to sing another favourite.MUSTANG SALLY.. We all filed out chatting about how much we had enjoyed it, and made our way to the stage door. Unbeknown to us, Gareth had a flight leaving from Stansted at 6 am the next morning to go abroad, but he never disappoints. He saw us all and posed for pictures, and we all went home feeling very happy and contented.
My thanks to Wikipedia for ist picture, the rest are my own, and Youtube for the video.

For Denise Albert, choosing a cell phone has nothing to do with ring tones, instant messages or megapixels.
"To me, it's what it looks like," said Albert, a 53-year-old campaign fundraiser from suburban Powell. "I want a good design. Period."
Albert represents a fashion trend marketers are tapping into as they offer mobile phones with sleeker designs and in more colors, such as blue and pink, and accessories ranging from charms and stickers to crystals and tiny designer purses.
"I want a good design. Period." Too bad she didn't get it.
'Gold teeth stolen while owner slept'
A Florida man claims someone reached into his mouth and stole his gold teeth as he slept. Bryan Osteen, of Mims, Brevard Country, [called] police to complain about the theft, reports Local6.com News.
Osteen told officers that someone entered his bedroom and took the £40 teeth out of his mouth. He said he had friends at his home and believes one of them had something to do with the crime. Osteen said he did not wake up because he is a heavy sleeper, according to a Brevard County Sheriff's Office report.
No word on how many women are lined up
A 105-year-old Chinese man has placed lonely hearts adverts in newspapers for a new wife. Gong Duruo, 105, has placed lonely hearts adverts in newspapers for a new wife /Lu Feng
Gong Duruo, who was born at Chengde, Hebei province, in 1901, wants a wife less than half his age. Gong, a doctor, said: "First, the woman better have a history of doctor practice or learning literature, since I need assistance to write a medical book. Second, the woman should be younger than 50, and can take care of my life."
Gong has two medical degrees – one from the American State University around 1940, the other from the West China University of Medical Sciences in 2000. He currently lives with relatives but told Inner Mongolia Morning Papers he was looking for life partner again.
"Every one should have a goal. Without a goal, people would die very early. Thats why scientists always have longevity, like Einstein, since they have life-goals," he said.

I suppose I should start at the beginning. At the age of seventeen my mom became pregnant with me – on purpose. Her home life was a kind of hell you don't even want to imagine. Her escape was a matter of life and death. Our relationship has often been rocky. I love her. She is after all, my mom.
Her nightmarish journey began at the tender age of two. That is when her uncle started molesting her. He was often allowed to babysit her. Imagine the "shock and awe" when she overheard her mother and her aunt talking about the fact that he had tried to molest others in the family. Her mother knew! And yet time after time she was left in his care. She often heard her mother telling people how she was a mistake. Not wanted. To add insult to injury, her alcoholic father raped her when she became a teenager. Her much older sisters treated her poorly. My mom often felt invisible.
One day when she was eleven and desperately needing her mother's attention, she threatened to eat wasp larvae if her mom would not give her two minutes of her time. My grandmother was paying bills at the time and promptly informed my mom that she had no time for her. My mom went outside and collected the larvae from the hive and walked right into the kitchen where she fried those bad boys. Certainly her mother loved her enough to stop her. Didn't she? She sat down across from her mother, plate in hand with tears streaming down her face. She just knew if given one more chance her mother would look up lovingly and stop her from doing this foolish thing. It was not to be. That wretched woman never even looked over at my mom.
Do you understand now why it was a matter of life and death? It didn't take long for me to understand that they just didn't give a shit about her. By the time I was six, I dreaded going to family parties. My mom was the family scapegoat. Their favorite past time was to make my mom feel horrible about herself. Not one single time did we leave those parties without my mom being a puddle of tears and a bundle of self loathing. How I hated those people. Burning in hell wouldn't be good enough for them. I wanted to light the damn fire myself!
This is going to have to be a stopping point for me tonight. 5:30 will be here before I know it. I get up with my 12 year old every morning.
Until we meet again.
Crying can feel like dying – one drop at a time.

« is this thing on? <-previous --- next-> Of course it would happen this way »
city chinese
today vinita (new coworker) and i decided to go get lunch. orginally we were going to go get sandwiches somewhere, but it was raining and we decided to go somewhere with an indoors.
somehow we ended up at the hunan restaurant on sansome.
from what i understand this place used to be great, but now it is just blech & mediocre. our waitress was this cute older asian lady, with a fro-perm thing going on, but all her cuteness couldn't make up for the yucky food. Diana's meat pie (which came with the special) has to be made with spam or some sort of canned meat (not that i have anything against canned meat i just wasn't expecting it to taste so blech). and the spicy beef dish i got was just blech and the beef was overcooked. it tasted like home cooked chinese, only by homecooked i mean something my morm would make had she forgotten that we like to eat things that are tasty and also she hates us for being ungrateful and so is pissed off and isn't trying very hard, and in fact is sort of punishing with something that is only edible & filling & nothing more because we don't deserve it.
i might go back, but i can't see myself ever suggesting we go there again. which is too bad, because i hear it used to be (in the 80s) a great place to eat.
sidenote: if you watch south park, you know what i mean by city chinese.

St. Vincent shares new song "Pills"
The song was made with Annie Clark's ex-girlfriend Cara Delevingne, Kamasi Washington, Jenny Lewis, Jack Antonoff, and Soundwave
St. Vincent's upcoming album, Masseduction, out on Friday, is already amassing some outstanding reviews from our friends across the pond. (Our review isn't ready yet, but I can confirm that it really is quite good.) Before today we heard two singles from the LP, "New York", a glossy piano ballad, and "Los Ageless", a jagged, New Wave pop song. Now we also have "Pills", a darkly funny and sing-songy song Annie Clark recorded with, among several other luminous collaborators, ex-girlfriend and rumored subject of "New York", the actress and model Cara Delevingne. Catch it below.

1. Suma Puts A Difficult Challenge In Suraj's Path
Maduve Mane is a complete family entertainer if you ask me because it has all the right elements to watch with your loved ones. Starring Shraddha Arya and The Golden Star Ganesh in the lead, the story revolves around a man who falls in love with a girl but has plans for her 'existing' fiancé. The Kundali Bhagya actress Shraddha Arya has done a fabulous job in terms of acting, Kannada diction as well as expressions.
Starting with this scene, when Suraj (Ganesh) claims to be in love with Suma (Shraddha), she asks him to do something drastic. While He accepts the challenge, Shraddha has done a good lip-syncing job in this scene.
2. When Suraj enters Suma's changing room by mistake
3. Suraj's gift or Dushyanth's?
4. The bomb scene
In a sudden turn of events, Suma is asked to leave with Suraj on a car that apparently has a bomb in it. A timid Suma becomes extremely nervous and worried when this happens. Even here the Maduve Mane actress did wonders with her dialogues. Watch the film to know what I am talking about.
5. The confrontation
Soon, Suma and Suraj end up in the forest. After trying to survive in the forest. The former realises then that Suraj is not what he seems. As he is talking on the phone in the forest, where he claimed there was no signal, she catches him red-handed and confronts him. A new side of Shraddha's emotions can be seen in this scene.

text: Dance, Music, News & Commentary, Stage, Theatre Monash Uni launches a program of music, theatre and dance, and it looks like a year-long festival By Daily Review | February 21, 2018 | Composer and former Adelaide Festival director, Paul Grabowsky, who is also the executive director of Monash Academy of Performing Arts in Melbourne, has announced the inaugural season of MLIVE – a program of Australian and international live music, theatre and dance curated "as a cultural response to Melbourne's diverse and open-minded communities". "We've assembled an incredible line-up of talent for our inaugural season with live performances from Australian music legends Vince Jones, Megan Washington, Christine Anu, Peter Garrett, Lior and Cat Empire's Felix Riebi. The orchestral offering features compositions from Stravinsky, Rossini, Beethoven and Bach to Unsuk Chin, Nigel Westlake and Iain Grandage. And theatre lovers will get their dramatic fix with a suite of hard hitting contemporary theatre from Belarus, Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane," Grabowsky said at its launch last night. The MLIVE season will be held at the Monash University campus in the eastern suburb of Clayton and throughout 2018, beginning in early March. MLIVE's seasons begins with acapella sextet, The King's Singers while Spinoff will feature a 20-piece jazz orchestra with vocalists Vince Jones and Megan Washington. In the second concert Joe Camilleri, Vika Bull, Grabowsky and his sextet will present a "radical new perspective on the King himself" in Edge of Reality – the Elvis Presley Songbook. Melbourne Symphony Orchestra's Metropolis New Music Festival will be held as part of the season, as will Belarus Free Theatre (as part of a three year residency). The first of its works is Generation Jeans, a solo performance by BFT founder Nicolai Khalezin that "explores growing up in Soviet-era Belarus and selling vinyl rock albums and blue jeans on the black market while dodging KGB agents who routinely pounced on teenage bootleggers". Spinifex Gum is a co-commission with the Adelaide Festival that charts "the dramatic contrasts of the land of the Pilbara as well as its political and social topography". It features the Marilya choir of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander teenage girls with Felix Riebl (Cat Empire) and guest artists Peter Garrett, Briggs, Ollie McGill and Christine Anu. Townsville's Dancenorth's Rainbow Vomit (pictured above) and Adelaide's Slingsby Theatre Company will present works for young audiences. In theatre, Brisbane's La Boite Theatre's will stage Prize Fighter by playwright Future D Didel; Tasmania Performs will present The Season by playwright Nathan Maynard; and Lab Kelpie's Elegy is a work based on British playwright Douglas Rintoul's verbatim interviews with gay refugees and inspired by images by photojournalist Bradley Secker. Monash students' music is presented in concerts by the Monash Academy Orchestra. The program includes Stravinsky's Firebird, Korngold's Violin Concerto, Steiner's Gone With the Wind, Rossini's Stabat Mater and a 90th birthday retrospective of favourite works by Australian composer George Dreyfus. There will also be new works by Iain Grandage, Melbourne composer Katy Abbott and Nigel Westlake conducting his own works, featuring Slava Grigoryan and Lior Attar. Recipients of the Jeanne Pratt Musical Theatre Artists in Residence Program, director Peter Rutherford and actor, singer and writer James Millar will work with students from the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music and The Centre for Theatre and Performance to develop a new original musical based on Rosalie Ham's 2000 comedy revenge novel, The Dressmaker.

Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation (4/19)...MIAA Academic Honor Roll (2017, 2018, 2019)
Why did you choose to attend Hope College? I love the strong science program and the opportunities to engage in research, the Christian atmosphere and welcoming community, the chance to run on a varsity team, the campus, the Holland community... basically everything.
If you have chosen a major, please explain how you plan to use it after graduation. I want to obtain a PhD and pursue a career as a medical researcher.
List a favorite Bible verse and why it is meaningful to you: The entirety of Psalm 121, which is entitled, "The Lord My Guardian." This psalm reassures me of God's enduring presence and protection, even in dark or difficult situations.
What is your favorite memory from a community service project you've been involved at Hope? List a favorite Bible verse and why it is meaningful to you.
Where is your favorite place on campus? Why? The balcony of the Chapel, because it is peaceful and beautiful, and I have spent time with some of my closest friends up there.
What is your favorite pre-game music? I've recently become addicted to the Hamilton soundtrack, so definitely that! "My Shot" and "Non-Stop" are both great pump-up songs.
If you could play another sport, regardless of skill, what would it be? Archery, because then I could be like Legolas.
What is the best advice you've ever received? Don't measure your own work or achievements by those of someone else. Unless you're the world champion of something - and there's only one person who can be that - there's always going to be someone better than you. But that does not diminish the value of the effort you put in or the accomplishments you gain from it. You are your own standard; you know how far you can go, and it's your job to get there, no matter what anyone else is doing.
