The County Fair.
Extracts from this document...
Jennifer Rinder English Comp 1113 May Intersession 2003 Martha Hodges May 23, 2003 The County Fair Food can be an evocative portal to memory. Mary had not had time to eat breakfast before beginning her monotonous trek across the city to her monotonous job. By mid-morning she was starving. Images of the snack vending machine began to block out her computer screen and obscure the shimmering letters on her keyboard. The cravings for sugar and salt made it difficult for her to concentrate. The protesting emanations from her stomach would soon exceed the clattering noise of her typing. She had to wait until the clock on the wall displayed the exact moment that her break would begin. ...read more.
She growled at the indecisive people ahead of her, and patiently tapping her foot and sighing heavily to signal her distress. Finally it was her turn. Mary nervously fumbled with the change trying to force it into the slot, she pressed the cryptic buttons with scientific skill, and down came one scrumptious Pepperidge Farm tan and brown package of chocolate chip cookies, followed instantly by a Pringles brilliant yellow bag of flavored potato chips. Like a furtive little mouse, she snatched the tiny packages out of the machine and scurried off to a vacant bench in a darkened corner where she could curl up with a bit of privacy and devour her prizes. She at first could not think of anything other than ending the cravings. ...read more.
She was walking down the fairway and the exotic aroma of baking cookies mingled with the heavy scent of a percolating deep fryer instantly made her feel young and carefree again. She could taste the hot, melted chunks of chocolate coating her throat and savor the contrasting salty residue which she dearly loved to lick from her fingers as she filled her mouth with the thick, delectable chips. She was so very happy. Mary was startled by the hand on her shoulder. Suddenly she was back in the darkened corner and was being asked again, for an explanation for her tardiness. Mary turned to sit up straight, the now empty tan and brown package along with the empty yellow bag fell to the floor. Mary glanced down at them and smiled knowingly. ...read more.

Silent Sunday
Creation speaks. It speaks of newness that rises out of the old, life that comes out of what appears dead, and brilliant beautiful colors that fill in where it was only subdued browns and grays of rocks and dirt. Seeing the flowers of Spring encourages me to remember that there's hope. Always. Always, always, always. Even when all we see are browns and grays. What we bring to Him, He can make new. Not only new… but beautiful and lifeRead more
Silent Sunday
So I took a long walk by the river today and wanted to share some of the sights seen. It was beautiful. I mean, it always is, but the newness and fresh colors just seemed to pop today. I snapped hundreds of shots, but limited myself to sharing 10. (So here are 19, lol 🙂 ) A picture is the next best thing to being there right?! Hope you enjoy the 'walk'… "Prayer should not be regarded as aRead more

The most important thing to learn about the indication of the beat is that the beat must be clear to the ensemble. In order for this to occur, the conductor must make one beat, the downbeat, slightly more important than the others. The ensemble cannot determine beats two, three, or four if they are not certain which beat is beat one. The downbeat should be the only beat that is made at the center of the base of the conducting plane. Some conductors describe all beats as arriving at the same point as the downbeat. In this author's opinion, this action blurs the beat distinction for the ensemble and weakens the gesture noting the first beat of the measure.
Clarity is of utmost importance in a conductor's gestures. The ensemble is relying on a conductor for many things but most importantly, for a clear indication of the beat. In any work, but particularly in a work with complex rhythms, the ensemble is most interested in knowing where beat one is. Orchestral players are probably the most critical of the choral conductor whose gestures are so mushy that they cannot determine the beat. Occasionally, when a conductor hears that the precision is slipping in a performance, he will quickly stop any extraneous motion with his hands and concentrate on giving the ensemble nothing more than the simple beat pattern. This pattern must be the core of every conductor's conducting style.
The conductor's gesture must have some sort of rebound in order for the ensemble to be able to discern the ictus; the exact moment when the conducting gesture indicates the rhythmic pulse. The rebound should not be too high or it will confuse the motion toward the next beat. The exact distance will depend upon the style and tempo of the piece. In faster tempos the rebound will be short and quick, whereas in slower tempos it may be a little higher and slower.
The following beat patterns are the ones that will be used in almost all conducting situations. There are some examples of new music that involve combinations of these patterns or are so different that new patterns must be created by the conductor to fit the music.
All of the patterns assume that the conductor is conducting with the right hand. The left hand is reserved primarily for gestures other than time-beating. Although a few conductors conduct witht the left hand it is best, to avoid confusion as one conducts various ensembles, to use the right hand, if possible, to conduct the patterns given below. Practice each pattern until it becomes comfortable to you. Do not attempt the combination practicing suggested later until you have practiced each pattern separately.
The most fundamental of the patterns is the two-beat pattern (the first figure in figure 1). In fast tempos this pattern is simply down-up. When the tempo is slower, the pattern will be as indicated in the second figure in figure 1.
All the patterns then evolve from this basic two-beat pattern. The first beat of the meter or measure is always down and the last beat (the last beat indicated) is always up.
Sing, Be Glad for the Lord is Our God can be used to practice conducting the two pattern.
The pattern for three beats in a measure is given in figure 2. The conductor is reminded to be sure that the third beat is in an inward and upward direction and does not become lazy. This is the beat that amateur singers will tend to rush, causing rhythm and tempo problems.
Evensong can be used to practice conducting the three pattern.
The four-beat pattern is shown in figure 2. In the four pattern, beat two goes to the left rather than to the right as in the three pattern. Again, one is reminded to be sure that the downbeat is given its place of importance at the center of the base of the conducting plane. Some four patterns are described as having all beats occur on the same level except for beat four. It is felt that this will blur the distinction of the downbeat. Therefore, the second and third beats are described as being slightly higher than the downbeat.
Shenandoah can be used to practice conducting the four pattern.
The six-beat pattern has been conducted in two different patterns for some time. Both patterns are given in figure 3. Both of these patterns are used widely by conductors. Figure 3a is most often referred to as the German six pattern. Figure 3b is usually labeled the French six pattern. The latter has certain advantages, particularly when 6/8 alternates between six beats and two beats. Pattern b differs further, in that: (1) beat four, usually the secondary beat in a 6/8 measure, receives a gesture of commensurate strength; (2) the last beat of the measure is a very weak beat and here only receives a small gesture, whereas the pattern in figure 3a has a very large motion accompanying the last beat; and (3) this pattern (3b)can be easily modified to become a two-beat pattern, most desirable for those pieces in which a conductor alternates between six and two beats in a measure.
Which of the two patterns is used will depend upon the personal choice of the conductor. This decision will be based on the type of music being conducted and how comfortable the conductor is with the pattern.
The following excerpt from Gladly For Aye We Adore Him by Lekberg can be used to practice the six pattern.
GLADLY FOR AYE WE ADORE HIM, By Sven Lekberg, Copyright 1972 (Renewed) by G. Shirmer. Inc. (ASCAP) International Copyright Secured, All Rights Reserved
The nine-beat pattern is a modification or subdivision of a three pattern. The fourth beat of the nine pattern is not as far to the right as the two beat of the three pattern, allowing the indication of beats five and six with ease. The pattern in figure 6 also allows a conductor to transfer from nine actual beats to three beats, which occurs in some instances.
The beat pattern for twelve beats in a measure is shown in the second example, in figure 6. This pattern is used when a conductor actually indicates the twelve beats in a measure. There are many occasions when 12/8, for example, is actually conducted as a four pattern. The 12 beat pattern in the second figure, in figure 6, is a modified four pattern with two smaller gestures after the principal beats.
The two added beats after the downbeat are made to the conductor's right, so no more than three consecutive beats will be given in the same direction. This division of the downbeat is opposite of the division of the nine-beat pattern for just this reason. The nine pattern is a modification of a three pattern since its second principal beat is to the right, the added beats to the downbeat must be to the left.

Yesterday, 10 am IRST, 6 terrorist attackers had mounted simultaneous gun and suicide bomb assaults on Iran's parliament building and the tomb of the republic's revolutionary founder. Killing 17 people so far.
Terrorist attacks are extremely rare in Iran and people are not used to it. Last year, in the Ramadan month, police forces reported that they thwarted one of the biggest terrorist attacks targeting Tehran and other major cities. The last major attack in Iran was in 2010, in Sistan-Baluchistan, killing 39 people.
ISIS has taken responsibility for the attacks and released a footage showing inside of the Iranian parliament. The video begins with one of the attackers saying, "hold on!" in English and then shows both of them speaking Arabic saying: "Thank God, do you think we are leaving? No, we stay here." Analysts say none of the attackers seem to be native speakers.
The video above shows a dead body, which is the body of one of the guards.
A lot of countries have condemned the terrorist attacks in Tehran, including Turkey, Afghanistan, Norway, Oman, and Sweden. But what is interesting is that the President of the United States hasn't condemned the attacks yet, especially because of Trump's history on condemning terrorist attacks even before they become official.
Everything is back to normal now, in Iran, but there are a lot of questions:
Why did this happen? How? And what will Iran do now?
One of the things that Iran's government was very proud of, was the fact that Iran is stable in an extremely unstable region. Now it seems it isn't so. Iran has always justified its interference in the region by saying that if Iran didn't have troops in Iraq and Syria, Iran would be like Iraq and Syria. If four people holding guns and grenades can enter the building of the Iranian parliament, then Iran's security is not as good as it claims to be. This is a cause of worry, for both the people and the government.
I believe Iran's first move should be uniting itself. Iran has been divided ever since the elections, with Conservatives saying that 'peace' is impossible and Iran should not back down against USA and KSA, and Liberals saying that Iran should open its doors again and start new relations with countries in the region. Due to this, with the Liberal government currently in power, it seems that the Conservatives are trying to blame everything on Rouhani, the moderate-liberal president of Iran.
After the investigations are over, I believe they should make an important decision of either-
- Keeping the current policies and deploying more troops in Iraq and Syria.
- Changing the policies, and making new relations with countries in the region.
Iran's religious leader and its army are Conservatives, and despite Hassan Rouhani's government being a moderate-liberal government which wants to go for the second one, it's more likely that Iran will be choosing the first path.
The majority in Iran clearly prefer the second path which they showed by electing Rouhani. So is Iran's leader going to do what people want? Maybe. Iran's regime is starting to understand that closing borders and isolating the country is not a progressive policy, which they showed by facilitating the nuclear deal. However, Iran can't change its policies all of a sudden, as that risks making 16 million conservatives in Iran extremely unhappy.
In my opinion, Iran is going to keep deploying troops in Iraq and Syria, but they are also going to start working with other countries to destroy terrorists. Iran should work on its foreign relations as well, since a deterioration in KSA and Iran's relation is possible, with a complete political and financial war between the two countries.
As I reiterate my point from my previous article, major changes in Iran's policies seem impossible. However, Rouhani would definitely insist on having better relations with other countries, and if the leader agrees, we might see an improvement in the policies of Iran.
The bottom line is, although this is a sad day for Iran and world, this is not enough to change Iran's regime policies. I feel it's high time the administrators wake up and ensure any more horrific incidents like these do not happen again.

Talented young drivers, including those making the step up from karting, will once more have the opportunity to acquire track experience and to develop their skills as the 2012 ADAC Formel Masters season gets underway.
Youngsters from the age of 15 upwards will be able to follow in the footsteps of Timo Glock, Nico Rosberg, Sebastian Vettel and other top names in the sport who began their careers in one of the junior competitions staged by Europe's largest motorists' association, the Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club. "The ADAC opened up a new era in junior racing back in 2008"; says ADAC Sport President Hermann Tomczyk. "With the Masters, our association offers upcoming drivers an excellent opportunity to learn the basics of single-seater racing. I am convinced that our involvement in open-wheel racing that began in 1991 will continue to go from strength to strength."
The regulations for this new formula series have been tailored to the specific needs of young drivers. The Dallara monocoque has been constructed with safety as a priority and is powered by a 145hp 1.6-litre engine supplied by Volkswagen. Every vehicle on the grid will also be identical in all other key technical respects. "For the past ten years, ADAC and Volkswagen have enjoyed considerable success in bringing on young talent in the touring car segment with the former Lupo and Polo Cups and with the Scirocco R-Cup," says Volkswagen Motorsport Director Kris Nissen. "So we are all the more pleased to be continuing this strong partnership in single-seater racing too. Our 145hp 1.6-litre FSI engine is both powerful and reliable, and therefore the ideal drive unit for high-performance yet affordable junior open-wheel racing."
Right from the start, the younger driver has a vehicle that complies with the same high safety standards that are applied in Formula 3 and offers every race contestant the identical technical specification. Perfect conditions, in fact, for young drivers to develop their understanding of vehicle setup and to enhance their racing skills. The price of the car is also fair: it costs 49,900 euros and can be ordered from ADAC Motorsport in Munich.
The way the ADAC Formel Masters has been organised also serves to help young drivers progress in their career. No fewer than 24 races spread over eight weekends on the calendar provide plenty of driving practice under competition conditions. The ADAC has also established a generous EUR 100,000 treasure chest to ensure that the prizes are well worth competing for. Furthermore, the top three in the championship table at the end of the season will be invited to test drive for the ATS Formula 3 Cup.
With the introduction of the Formel ADAC single-seater as a sort of 'learner vehicle' for the Grand Prix drivers of the future, ADAC is building on its highly successful youth development programme of recent years. "The ADAC can point with justifiable pride to its achievements since 1991 in the area of junior single-seater racing," says Hermann Tomczyk. "Formula 1 drivers such as Ralf Schumacher, Nico Rosberg, Timo Glock, Adrian Sutil, Christian Klien, Sebastien Buemi, Nico Hulkenberg and two-time world champion Sebastian Vettel are the products of the talent promotion scheme that we operate in conjunction with BMW." No fewer than one in five of the current crop of Formula 1 drivers learned their trade in a junior series run by Europe's largest automobile club.
Reason enough for the ADAC Sport President to draw positive conclusions concerning the work done by the association in encouraging the star performers of tomorrow: "It all began in 1991 with the ADAC Formel Junior Championship. Then in 1998, we had the Formel ADAC and the Formel ADAC Junior Cup. The good work continued in 2002 with the Formula BMW ADAC Championship, and more recently in 2006, the Formula BMW Deutschland was launched. These competitions were all joint ventures between the ADAC and BMW. Yet the organisation of successful series for young drivers was just one part of a programme designed to accomplish so much more. "These talented young people not only benefited from our knowledge and expertise over the years but were also given considerable financial backing," explains Hermann Tomczyk.
And the results speak for themselves: "The fact that an independent national body such as the ADAC undertakes such an intensive youth development programme is probably unique in international terms," says ex-Formula 1 driver and motorsport expert Christian Danner. "The Germans are the envy of the world for the way they bring on their young driving talent. It is no coincidence that we have five or six German nationals (depending on how you count them) currently competing in Formula 1."

Watching "The Office" last night, I totally got Jim and his frustration understanding what his new boss wanted. I have quit jobs after trying to get a straight answer out of a boss. "You know, you'll just know" one boss said when I asked about a design that he hadn't liked. I wanted clarification or parameters - not a vague answer. I had a teacher that told me to make a design, "more crunchy." Yeah, ok. She was a sub so all I had to do was wait for my real teacher to come back.

After this frustrating day I come home to find my neighbor parked in our shared driveway. Shared. Driveway. I stomped down the driveway and told him to move the vehicle. There is a set of rules the old neighbors drew up about parking in the driveway. Really.

The jewellery business has a rich history of embedding young people in the trade, from the medieval apprentices of The Goldsmiths' Company who were quite literally tied to the benches (they had to sleep beneath them and were only released on Sundays for church) to the well-known boot-straps success stories of some of the most famous jewellers in the world. Stephen Webster, Shaun Leane, Glenn Spiro, Laurence Graff and the Queen's personal jeweller Harry Collins all started out as teenage apprentices in Hatton Garden.
This tradition has continued, and even gathered pace in the past few years, as government levies make taking on apprentices more attractive for businesses, and jewellery and watch educational establishments expand and improve.
The British School of Watchmaking in Manchester become the first educator in Europe to offer the WOSTEP (Watchmakers of Switzerland Training and Educational Program) 1,800-hour course, which welcomed its first students this January. General manager James Robinson says the one-year full-time course, which it now offers alongside its more advanced 3,000-hour two-year WOSTEP course, has been gaining a lot interest from retailers that can perhaps afford to lose a member of staff for a year, but for which a two-year absence would be "unsustainable"…

By the time he was 8 months old, our lil bear cub had more stamps in his passport than some of my adult friends. He's been on 10 airplanes, traveled through multiple time zones, slept in numerous random beds and cribs, missed naps, visited a glacier in cold rain, stayed up past his bedtime almost every night…and we all survived. Even better, we had the time of our lives.
When we tell people that we took our baby with us to Iceland and Sweden this spring we get a lot of responses: everything from "you're crazy," mouth hanging open, laughs, looks of disbelief and my favorite, "That must have been hard/terrible.brutal." I'm not sure why everyone thinks that traveling with a baby has to be miserable. Is it because of all the crying babies you've listened to on the plane?
So today I'm here to tell you that traveling with a baby doesn't have to be miserable. In fact, it can be really fun and awesome. Who says you have to put all of your travels and adventures on hold because you grew a tiny human? You just need a few (dozen) extra things in your luggage, a slower pace and a little patience. No, it won't be exactly the way it used to be, but isn't seeing the world through the eyes of a child half the fun of it? Today I'm going to share with you a few of the tips we learned from traveling internationally with our 7.5 month old baby boy.
1. Packing. There's no getting around it – babies need a LOT of stuff. Especially if you're going somewhere like Iceland which can have bitter cold temperatures and tons of rain. We managed to stuff all of our stuff into 2 large suitcases and two backpacks. Baby boy's stuff took up MOST of the space. We managed to pack light for ourselves because we knew we couldn't skimp on his stuff. While you can't get away with skipping packing clothes, blankets, food, etc, we did try our hardest to pack as light as possible. Stick to around 3-4 favorite small toys, 2 books if you read every night, only a few extra changes of clothes, and just enough food and diapers to get you through until you know that you can buy more (we were able to find organic baby food that was affordable as well as Pampers diapers in Iceland just about everywhere). There DEFINITELY was a LOT of stuff that we had to haul. We couldn't avoid a few bulky items like the car seat, stroller, baby carrier and a foot muff for the bitter Icelandic winds — all of which were totally worth bringing which takes us to point #2…
{all bundled up in his Bumbleride winter footmuff which kept him warm and dry}
2. Car seat. This one is a toss up. Let's start with flying – Many airlines line Southwest, Alaska and Icelandair are very baby friendly and will happily give you an empty seat for you to put your car seat if the flight isn't fully booked. Trust me when I say that we were SO SO SO glad we lugged our car seat through the airport when it payed off with a FREE seat for baby boy to sleep away in. Icelandair would even move other passengers around so that we could have a full row to ourselves. Ya'll…it's painful to hold a 16 lb baby in your arms for 7 hours straight. It was so nice to be able to let him chill in his own seat for most of the flights. Of course, you can always buy your baby his own seat as well. (Side note — please do not check your car seat as luggage! It's too easy to damage them. Gate check only!) Once in Iceland we also needed the car seat for our rental car. We had actually planned on renting a car seat there as they have different rules around car seats (they require a different buckle type), but our rental car place was crummy and didn't have a clean car seat ready for us NOR did they know how to install the seat so we just used our own which leads to #3…
3. Make sure you have a locking clip if you take your car seat without a base! Most US car seats come with a locking clip — ours was on the bottom of the car seat. In Iceland, none of the cars seemed to have self-locking seat belts like they do in the US so you HAVE to use a locking clip to make the car seat safe and sturdy. You can request one from your car seat manufacturer if you don't have one and they will have instructions on how to use it.
{diaper changes can happen anywhere! Back of the car, front seat of the car, in his stroller}
4. Be flexible and patient. Babies require a lot more time to get fed and ready every day and they need extra breaks for naps and eating and diaper changes. We always got a later start than we hoped in the mornings and that was ok! By the time everyone was dressed and fed and on the road, he'd already be ready for his first nap of the day. There were a few times when J would go see a site and I needed to sit in the car or on a bench to nurse for 15 minutes first. Once he was fed he was happy and ready to go! And HE was even more flexible than he is at home.
5. Know your baby. Obviously, every baby is totally different, right? When we were in Iceland, Ethan was 7.5 months old. He wasn't crawling yet and he loved being in his car seat. It was truly the best timing for this kind of trip where we spent MOST of the day driving in the car with him strapped into his car seat. He would nap and giggle and sing and look out the window. He never had a meltdown in the car the entire trip. If your kid hates car rides, he or she would definitely hate this kind of trip….so maybe a place like Iceland or New Zealand wouldn't be ideal at this point for you, but somewhere else could be great!
When we hiked the W trail in Patagonia a few years ago we saw a couple who was doing the same hike with their 10 month old on their back. It was a hard trek but that baby was SO happy every day! It was incredible! Their baby loved going on hikes and being outside so that was a great trip for them. Remember, you're baby is super adaptable so they will probably do better than you think they will, but perhaps try not to put them in a situation where every single day they are miserable.
{napping in Stockholm}
6. Breastfeeding tips. When you breastfeed your baby, you can feed your baby anywhere! And you should! Bring a nursing cover if you care about modesty, but know that many parts of the world are much more accepting of nursing in public than the US. Of course, if you have a little one like mine who gets distracted SO easily, that's easier said than done. Take a hand pump along so that you can relieve your breasts if you need to — plus, it takes up way less room in your luggage! I love this pump and take it everywhere.
7. White noise is your friend. Be sure to bring along your noise machine or at least download a white noise app (I use one called SleepySounds when I travel) so that you can create a quiet place for baby to sleep regardless of if your hallway echos with every door slam or you are above a noisy city street.
8. Bring a crib sheet. Each hotel on our trip provided us with a crib or a pack and play for Ethan to sleep in –but none of them had any sort of sheet or cover for the bottom of them. Seeing as I don't know how often or if the crib mattress has ever been cleaned, I always covered it with a light muslin blanket. Just tuck in the blanket as well as you can, and sleep easy knowing that baby isn't face down on an icky surface.

9. Let go of the schedule. Take a deep breath momma. You can do it! If you're anything like me, your baby lives, eats and sleeps by a strict daily schedule. I don't let much mess his schedule up because it keeps momma and baby happy and rested. Before our trip I envisioned us marching back to our hotel every day in Stockholm so that little E could take a 2 hour nap. Haha! That never happened. We'd wander so far from our hotel every day that there was no way that we'd return until after dinner. Instead, we made sure that we were prepared for the day with food and diapers (he is nursing so he always has milk nearby) and we let him take naps whenever he needed them in his carseat (Iceland) or stroller (Sweden). He definitely got more naps in Iceland but he was in no way on his schedule at ALL. Bedtimes were super late after super late dinners. It wasn't how we wanted it, but it's just how it went. He'd crash at night and wake up happy and ready to go each morning.
In Stockholm he spent all day either being carried or in his stroller which made for easy napping. He definitely got less sleep there as we pushed him along cobblestone streets, but he sure loved napping in the dark and quiet Vasa museum. Thankfully, our stroller back can be lowered to an almost flat position ( we LOVE our Bumbleride Indie) so when we'd see him fall asleep, we'd slowly lower the back to let him sleep lying down.
10. Have fun. Here's the thing…you're gonna have good days and bad day,s but at the end of it all you'll have created some really incredible memories with your little one. Try not to sweat the small stuff (like the fact that Ethan would not nurse in public in Sweden no matter how hard I tried) and instead embrace each day as an adventure. We'll never forget how Ethan's eyes lit up when he saw a waterfall, or how he would squeal and get super excited as we explored beaches and glaciers. We loved watching him pet Icelandic ponies and try crazy foods like pickled herring. We didn't mind giving up the glacier hikes and horseback rides that we would normally choose to do because this is our life now…slower…different…and perfectly sweet family.

Incredible eco trails, spectacular river estuaries, a picturesque town, calm beaches, an artisanal cocoa industry and tales of Indian rebelliousness will attract travellers to Baracoa, the same land that Christopher Columbus had a crush on the very moment he spotted its paradisiacal wonders.
Baracoa most defining features however are its unparalleled natural surroundings, symbolised by El Yunque (the anvil), a flap-top 575 metre-high mountain, perfect for trekking and all sorts of eco adventures.
Río Miel is the place to paddle in a traditional Cuban boat, or a stroll along the dark, sandy beaches of Maguana and Cajobabo might appeal. Other places in and around Baracoa are the Alejandro Humboldt National Park, Zoologico de Piedra, a zoo that contains more than 300 animals carved out of limestone.
Finca Duaba gives visitors a chance to sample country life in Cuba. Tropical plants grow profusely and there's the opportunity to swim in the Río Duaba, eat a Creole lunch and visit a bohío, basic huts where the staff of the farm stay.
The charm of this boutique region is complemented with a discrete but appealing local chocolate industry.

Mumbai, 02 Oct: Farhan Akhtar starrer 'Toofan' has been in the news for quite some time and earlier this week, the makers released the first static poster of the movie where we can see Farhan Akhtar in his boxing avatar! Ever since then, the poster has broken the internet, in a never-before-seen scenario, the poster has accumulated a massive response with 58.09 million in reach.
It's not uncommon for trailers and songs to have such a massive reach but a static poster that crossed the 50 million mark is unheard of! Fans and celebrities alike have expressed their appreciation for Farhan Akhtar's extreme transformation into that of a professional boxer.
The actor looks completely ripped and has been training to get into the shape for the last couple of months under a very strict and punishing routine and the results are beyond astonishing.
After slaying the role of an athlete in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, the actor is all set to deliver one more power-packed stellar performance in the upcoming film 'Toofan'.

Witnesses of actual Nanavati case proceedings turn up at courtroom shoot sequence
Mumbai, 28 Sep: The Verdict – State vs Nanavati is one show that has promised to unleash the most honest version of the much spoken about Nanavati case. The makers have done all that is possible to maintain the authenticity of all the occurrences from the proceedings of the case.
The case was one of the most brutal cases in the history of mankind, some people who were present during the case are still shaken at the proceedings and how judgment were made. Senior citizens who had witnessed the actual court proceedings happened to find out about this show being made.
After a little research, they came to know that the show was being shot at three different locations in Mumbai that is Malad, Film City and Colaba. These men approached the locations where the show was being shot and was granted permission to do so. The people present were pleasantly surprised at how closely the makers were able to replicate the actual case. They were all praises for the extremely well-done research and even requested them to let them watch the entire shoot process to which the team happily obliged.
The authenticity of the show is what has made it so unique as compared to the previously done shows/films on the same topic. Fans are extremely excited and are eagerly awaiting the show to start streaming.
Directed by Shashant Shah, the 10-episode series is based on the real-life incident of 1959 and follows the trial of naval officer KM Nanavati who shot three bullets from his revolver at a businessman and later confessed his crime to the police. Even after six decades the infamous story of K.M. Nanavati Vs. The state of Maharashtra is still one of the most sensational criminal cases in India and mark a landmark judgment in the history of India.

So, today's the day to do the blog. Here I am. Showing up even though I have only an idea of what to write. Ok first, I hope the holidays have treated you well. They can be stressful, but there is a lot of joy, too and that's good.
I kinda sorta took a break from Instagram, so I didn't post, but I took a picture of a gift I received (a first) because I hadn't gotten a new sewing machine since I was a freshman in High School and I was a bit astounded. Been a bit busy, but might get the courage to try it today, as I have some time, both kids are occupied, It's a coverlock machine, which is a kind of a serger and they can be very hard to thread and get the tension right, so requires fiddling and patience.
Today I announced that fasting is my Christmas present to myself. I'm on day 4, will end it on NYE, and maybe now the ketones are kicking in. I'd been sorta weighed down and even though I seemed cheery enough on the outside, I wasn't cheery enough on the inside.
It takes 3 days of fasting (in my opinions) for the wheels to start turning. The first two-three are a challenge, you have to commit, you have to fight off the urge to eat for a variety of reasons and you need to get through some discomfort as your cravings ease up/disappear. There is the tiredness, too. The first extended fast I did, I did as a purist. Water and water only. Now I take some vitamins at night, and have some coffee, but strictly speaking, it's not a "true" fast.
I'm giving my body a rest from digestion and seeing if it will do some repair work on my knee, which hurts. It's a new hurt, and I don't really want it to stick around if I can help it. Might need to get back to yoga or some exercise, but I've been kind of loving not exercising/running/swimming/biking one or more that I've done consistently since I was in Jr. High. It was hard at first, to not exercise. Part of my identity seemed askew. I was always a "runner," and if I wasn't now a "runner," then who was I?
(Who am I?)
(Who are you? Are you nobody? Then I'm nobody, too)
So. Maybe I already mentioned my New Year's Resolution? I didn't always make one, as I do a big thing on my birthday in February, but maybe for the past 4-5 years I've had one. It's been some version of "Use it up/Use it or lose it" and while I still have things to give away, I've been really Using things up. So this year I morphed the resolution into "No Backlog" which for me means getting those tasks done that are on my mind. The photos and albums. The familial stuff I don't really want. The papers to organize.
It's not really a big deal to organize my paperwork, especially my songwriting, because I usually come up with something new, but if there are really horrible lyrics, I could probably purge them. And, I have written a few poems here and there and it would be nice to compile them. I love poetry even though I don't read it often. My mother used to recite a few Emily Dickenson poems and she was such a big fan that it was hard not to get a bit enthusiastic with her. She was passionate about the one that begins, "Will there ever be a morning, Is there such a thing as day"
Ok, I remembered that wrong: it's actually:
Will there really be a "Morning"?
Is there such a thing as "Day"?
Could I see it from the mountains
If I were as tall as they?
Has it feet like Water lilies?
Has it feathers like a Bird?
Is it brought from famous countries
Of which I have never heard?
Oh some Scholar! Oh some Sailor!
Oh some Wise Men from the skies!
Please to tell a little Pilgrim
Where the place called "Morning" lies!
--Emily Dickinson
I went to see the exhibit of some of her papers and work at the Morgan Library in Manhattan. I really liked her pressed flower book, because it showed her visual arrangements and many of the pages were beautiful for their layout and script. Beautiful script is not something that is usually practiced these days, but it can be lovely to get lost in.
So anyway, just having a small folio of my poems for my own sake would be nice. I illustrated one when I was in the 3rd grade and my teacher send it off somewhere and I got to attend the Illinois Young Authors Convention as a result. I don't remember much about it, though there is a picture somewhere and I think I'm wearing an outfit I bought with my own money from K-Mart (I delivered the Park Forest Star newspaper twice a week starting in the 2nd grade). The dress is polyester.
I have a certificate somewhere and there was a book with all the authors's pictures and biographies, but eventually, I got rid of it and only saved my page. I think I say I like my hamster. (I distinctly remember not having a clue what to write and my teacher had to help me.)
My father was angry at me for what he perceived to be my lateness in getting ready for the convention, which I think had some workshops and a ceremony where the authors were presented with their certificates, though I think it was held on a Sunday and I would have delivered the newspaper first and then hurried to get ready, and his admonishments made the drive to Decatur (I think it was there) less than optimal. I was never supposed to fuss about my clothing or seem to care about it in any way, though of course I did!
It bothered him to no end that when I was younger, my Great Aunt Ethel had given me a doll I named Karen and sent along matching clothing for the doll and me. The clothing was, to my young eyes, magnificent as she made just about every dress in a different style, with fun kid-centric fabric and colorful buttons. So, who wouldn't be tempted to change outfits multiple times a day? Periodically, until I was about 7, she would send a package and there would be something new for Karen and me. I suppose it wasn't fair that she didn't send my brothers hand made clothing, but I assumed it was because sewing dresses was easier and never having married, she never had a chance to make clothing for men or boys.
Well, this is great, because I have been thinking of writing a memoir about my dad, mostly, being inspired anew by one I'm reading now, "The Only Girl in the World" by Maude Julien. My story is not as horrifying as hers is (or I hope not) but I would like to exhume the ghosts and let them rest.
I've strugged with this memoir for many years, and have a cache of over 40 typed letters he sent me over the years, though there were more. The first two he handed me when I was about 9 have vanished along with others that were ripped to shreds in frustration, but my first idea was to simply publish the letters and be done with it. At the time, 2002? I let a few literary friends read them, but the way to go seems to be to start blogging. So, here I am!
I thought I'd begin with his death, in 2006. And then go forwards and backwards as the story unfolds. I have no idea how this will sound/turn out, but I'm sure I'll learn something along the way. (I already learned something by relating that Young Authors story).
Sometime shortly after the convention, someone my father knew was visiting our house and my father gave him my certificate to laminate, which upset me. He never gave it back to me and I assumed it was lost, but after he died I found it hidden at the bottom of his dresser drawer.
Happy New Year! Here's to a great 2018!! Love, Leslie

Guide to the Douglass Cecil North Papers, 1942-2012 and undated
Economist and faculty member of Washington University in Saint Louis, Mo., and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1993. The papers of Douglass C. North date from 1942-2012 and consist chiefly of professional correspondence written and received by North, writings by North and other colleagues (the largest group), and files on conferences attended by North; there are also some teaching materials. The collection documents North's career as an economist and professor at Berkeley, University of Washington, Rice University, and Washington University (Missouri), and reflects his interests in economics, the economic history of the western world, transaction costs, economic development, institutional change, and industrialization and technology. Among the correspondents are many noted economists, including Yoram Barzel, Robert Bates, Reuven Brenner, Robert Clower, R. H. Coase, Robert Fogel, Robert Haveman, Robert Keohane, Simon Kuznets, Deirdre N. McCloskey, Elinor Ostrom, Vernon Smith, T. N. Srinivasan, John J. Wallis, and Barry R. Weingast.

Collection Overview
The papers of university professor and Nobel Prize-winning economist Douglass C. North span the dates 1942-2012, with most of the papers being dated between 1970 and 2012. They consist chiefly of professional correspondence written and received by North, writings by North and other colleagues, and files on conferences attended by North. There are also materials relating to courses he taught. The collection documents North's career as an economist and professor at Berkeley, University of Washington, Rice University, and Washington University (Missouri), and reflects his interests in economics, the economic history of the western world, transaction costs, economic development, institutional change, and industrialization and technology. More specifically, the papers document his long-standing interest in explaining institutional change and political economies without relying exclusively on neo-classical economic theories. His political economy draw him closer to approaches of classical political economy.
Among the correspondents are many noted economists, including Yoram Barzel, Robert Bates, Reuven Brenner, Robert Clower, R.H. Coase, Robert Fogel, Robert Haveman, Robert Keohane, Simon Kuznets, Deirdre N. McCloskey, Emily Chamlee-Wright, Elinor Ostrom, Vernon Smith, T.N. Srinivasan, John J. Wallis and Barry R. Weingast. Some of these correspondents are also represented in the Writings Series of this collection, a large group which contains drafts, notes, and reprints of writings by North as well as writings by his colleagues.
North's secretary Fannie Batt is an important factor for a proper understanding of the nature of this collection. After receiving the Nobel Prize in 1993, North's correspondence expanded substantially. Fannie Batt, his secretary at the Washington University in St. Louis, was tasked to take care of the correspondence for North. Her role impacted the subsequent arrangement of the collection. Materials are often Fannie Batt's printouts of correspondence for North. Most of the correspondence since the 1990s is carried through Fannie Batt's email address. Also, North's own responses to emails are not as frequent in the collection as one would expect. Existing responses were often dictated by North and typed by Fannie Batt.

Contents of the Collection
1. Professional Correspondence, 1950-2012
Series consists of incoming and some outgoing correspondence spanning many decades, and is organized chronologically. Note fields for most entries highlight significant correspondents or topics. The early correspondence (1950s to 1980) contains mainly departmental correspondence, proposals, conference invitations, and research exchanges, especially with departmental colleague and collaborator Morris David Morris at the University of Washington. From the 1980s on, files chiefly contain recommendation letters, academic appointments, invitations, workshops, proposals, and reports as well as other routine academic correspondence. In some cases, manuscripts of book chapters, papers or abstracts are attached to correspondence. Prominent correspondents include Robert Fogel, Amartya Sen, Vernon Smith, Elinor Ostrom, George Stigler, Oliver E. Williamson and Herman Wold. Note that since 1990s, D. North's correspondence was mainly conducted by his secretary, Fannie Batt. This series contain files called "Stanford" and "Benzonia". Those files and some others are preserved as received by Rubenstein. They contain correspondence forwarded by fax to North by his secretary. Since 1990s, North used to spend summers in Benzonia and usually spent months from January to March in Stanford at the Hoover Institution, doing his research and collaborating there with his coauthor Barry R. Weingast.

For about his last 25 years of life, he used to spend his summer and winter holidays with his wife Elisabeth Case in their summer house in Benzonia, Michigan.
Biographical material also contains non-academic aspects of his life. North noted in a biographical sketch that research "has been intermingled with a variety of activities that have complemented that central preoccupation and enriched my life. I continue to be a photographer; I have enjoyed fishing and hunting with a close friend; and have owned two ranches, first in northern California and then in the state of Washington. I learned to fly an airplane, and had my own airplane during the 1960s. I have always taken seriously good food and wine. In addition, music has continued to be an important part of my life." This series contains materials documenting his interest in photography, art and music.
This series also contain Fannie Batt's materials including her own correspondence. Rubenstein received her material labeled as "Not D. North". Material gives a picture into the nature of Fannie Batt's work for D. North, on her other work and on her routines.

Fannie Batt was Prof. North's secrecarty at the Washington University in St. Louis. She carried D. N.'s correspondence.
ISNIE is shortcut for International Society for New Institutional Economics. Later, the society was renamed as "Society for Institutional and Organizational Economics". D. North was one of its founding fathers and served on its board.

North was very dedicated to his students. The morning he got the call announcing his receipt of the Nobel prize, he postponed media interviews until after his regular class. His dedication to students and to young scholars is also reflected by the fact that two of his later co-authors worked with North early in their careers: John J.

David Retimann preview
CORNELIUS, N.C. — No. 00 Aaron's Dream Machine Toyota driver David Reutimann has reason for optimism as he heads to the 2.66-mile Talladega Superspeedway this weekend. Reutimann finished fourth last fall at Talladega - one of his six top-fives in 2010 and had a shot to win on the final lap. Reutimann scored one top-five, two top-15 finishes and led 19 laps last year at Talladega. Reutimann would love nothing more than to celebrate an Aaron's 499 win in victory lane with the Aaron's Dream Machine. Aaron's sponsors both the Nationwide and the Sprint Cup races Saturday and Sunday as part of its Aaron's Dream Weekend.
ON AARON'S DREAM WEEKEND: "Aaron's always does cool stuff every race weekend. With Aaron's as the sponsor of both the No. 00 Toyota and Aaron's Dream Weekend in Talladega, they bring a lot of people in. A lot of their franchisees and vendors. Aaron's has what they call 'The Compound' just outside the far end of the Nationwide garage where they have a motor coach set up. They always have a low country boil one night and a barbeque the next for all the MWR crew guys. They take really good care of all our guys and everyone they have out to the track. We always go over and hang out, eat some really good food and spend some time with Ken Butler (Aaron's chief operating officer) and the Aaron's folks."
ANY ADDED PRESSURE WITH AARON'S AS THE RACE SPONSOR? DOES YOUR SCHEDULE GET BUSIER? "There is pressure to perform every week, but I think it kicks it up a level when your sponsor is also the race sponsor. I try my best to win every week, but it would be icing on the cake to do it with Aaron's at Talladega. It's a little bit busier than normal, but Aaron's does a really good job of doing things at the racetrack. They do things at track where all the people are and get into the whole atmosphere."
Our year is far from over and we are going to do everything we can to get on track.
David Reutimann
ON THE RACING AT TALLADEGA AND WHAT TO EXPECT? "It's hard to say. We saw a little bit of the two car packs last year at Talladega and a lot of it at Daytona this year. Talladega and Daytona are different tracks, even though they are far more similar now since the Daytona resurfacing. I think it'll be interesting to see now that we've worked on communication and have more experience in the two-car packs. I can say it'll be intense and it'll be interesting."
YOU'VE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF BAD LUCK TO START THE SEASON. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO STAY POSITIVE? "A little bit of bad luck (laughs). That's all we've had this year is bad luck! We haven't had one good thing happen so far this year. That's just the way it is. All you can do is keep at it. The one positive that we look at is that we've had really good racecars. We've been fast everywhere we've been. Everyone at MWR is doing a great job giving us fast cars. We just need to get things going in the right direction. This is just the way it goes. I don't think anyone expected us to have the year that we've had so far with some of the things that have happened on the racetrack, but our year is far from over and we are going to do everything we can to get on track."

According to Prowrestling.net, WWE superstar John Cena has filed for divorce from his wife of three years and acquaintance of 14, Liz something or other. Here's the rest of the news before I cut to the chase:
- Liz has hired Raymond Rafool, who represented Linda Bollea in her high-profile divorce case from Hulk Hogan.
- It sounds like Cena made her sign a prenuptual, so good luck, toots.
- Reports claim that this divorce will be "nasty."
Now, for the important part of this story:

Pipe Dreams Edition – Gas Tax Hike
Sometimes, the results of studies and reports are astounding. Like this one: http://grist.org/news/how-to-sell-the-gas-tax-to-people-who-hate-taxes-and-love-driving/
It seems that when trying to get "We the People" to accept a gas tax hike by saying, "Well, our gas is cheap so we should raise the taxes. Look at what Country X pays", doesn't work. Thanks, Captain Obvious.
The Michigan State University study conducted by two sociologists did discover that taxpayers would support a gas tax hike if the money raised went to making more energy efficient transportation, repairing infrastructure that current taxes cannot pay for, or refunding the surplus tax back to the citizens instead of depositing the money in the Treasury's General Fund.
Okay. So let's talk about this. By the way, when you read the article, ignore the sanctimony. Read it, you'll see what I mean.
I'm against raising taxes. Period. But, for the sake of discussion, let's try to talk about this study without laughing. First, "Energy efficient transportation" in "Greenspeak" typically means EV or alternative fuels. Not with my tax money. No way, no how.
Want energy efficiency? Let a private company do the work. Also, let's be honest, combustion engines are getting more efficient with each passing year and energy efficient vehicles' ranges are still limited. So "energy efficient" is sort of like a mythical creature. Let's not get into the carbon footprint of energy efficiency or any of those "facts" here.
Second, the tax money would go to repair infrastructure. I love the altruism of the study participants. I admire it, I really do. But let's face it: Any gas tax raises would probably go towards offsetting the bribes, I mean tax breaks, given to energy efficient vehicle purchasers and not repairing infrastructure.
Third, support a tax hike if the money was refunded equally among citizens. This is comical beyond belief. If the money could be refunded, why do we need to raise the taxes? If I'm correct the logic seems like this: let's raise the tax five cents because we haven't raised it in 22 years, to 23.4 cents and then we the government will refund you that five cents so you're only paying 18.4 cents. THAT'S WHAT WE PAY NOW! Moreover, when have any of us ever known our government to be that trustworthy?
This just seems like more pipe dreams.
But what do you think?

My Final Thought:
This poor Porsche! http://www.autoblog.com/2015/11/12/criminal-slices-through-porsches-roof-just-to-break-in/
Though tenacious, this car thief isn't exactly good at what he does. Not only did he ruin a perfect Porsche, he couldn't even boost it. And he was filmed by a security camera.
It's so hard to find people good at their jobs anymore. Sheesh. In all seriousness, I hope London police catch the guy. He should be charged with attempted theft and destruction of a pristine Porsche.

A humidistat is a device designed to measure how much moisture in the air.
The device itself is fairly simple. It has a sensing element that reads signals and gives accurate humidity levels from inside your home. Depending on the reading, it will turn on the whole house humidifier if the air is too dry, or turn it back off once the humidity level is achieved.
If you've ever purchased a portable humidifier for a bedroom, they frequently come with t humidistat too. It operates to ensure the room isn't over or under humidified. It monitors the humidity level near the machine, but not outside of the room or anywhere else in the home.
With a whole house humidifier, the unit is connected up to your HVAC system. The humidistat will adjust the valves, dampers, and other switches in the HVAC system to regulate airflow and control the humidity throughout.
You can also wire the humidistat into your thermostat. When your air conditioner turns on, it will register both the temperature and the humidity levels separately. The thermostat won't turn on the air conditioner if the temperature is high, but the humidity level is low. It ensures both are regulated for your ultimate comfort.
There are several reasons for having a humidistat.
One, it's economical. If your humidity level is kept at an optimal level, it means your HVAC equipment will operate less.
Two, your home will be more comfortable. Ever had dry skin? Or felt the uncomfortable dryness in your throat and nose? Even if your air conditioner is working hard on the warmest of days, it can dry out the air supply more than necessary.
Humidifiers work to keep both the air temperature and the humidity levels at a comfortable level. They also are energy efficient as air with a comfortable level of humidity makes you feel cooler and allows you to adjust your thermostat accordingly. And when your humidity level is set to the right levels, it's also better for your health. No more allergy attacks, dry skin, or frequent colds due to lack of humidity.
Yes, even in Colorado, controlling both the temperature and the humidity can help keep you and your family comfortable year round. Let our professional technicians help you install a humidistat and take control over the conditions in your home now.
