Memorial weekend was hot and sunny and area residents took full advantage of it with outdoor recreational activities, family picnics and holiday get-togethers. After a couple of years of terrible weather for the area Memorial Day program (it was either too cold or too rainy), we had a beautiful, sunshiny day for it on Monday.

Contributions to the fund to provide an oil painting for the Medical Center of Fulton County's "country doctor," the late Dr. MacKinlay, are continuing to pour in, but the committee again stresses that no door-to-door canvass will be conducted. Although the fund is already approaching its goal, the committee again points out the small donations would be better than large ones, to give more people a chance to share in the memorial. It is estimated that Dr. MacKinlay, during his long term of service in Fulton County, delivered between 3,000 and 4,000 babies. If each one of these "babies" contributed 50 cents to $1, the fund would be well over-subscribed. With this thought in mind, the committee has decided to follow a suggestion made by Judge Shelly when he sent his contribution last week. Any surplus funds will be donated to the Medical Center to purchase needed supplies.
The McConnellsburg library is now on its summer schedule. The work of getting the building moved and renovated is now completed. There are now more than 500 readers on the list at the library and all books are free except the newest ones, for which a fee of 10 cents a week is charged.

The farm is currently under lease to Houston Johnston of Mercersburg and the hay was being made on the share. Bivens and his stepson were filling one of the tractors with gasoline when the unexplained explosion engulfed everything around them. McConnellsburg firemen responded promptly but were unable to stop the blaze. Bivens suffered minor burns of the hands and the side of his face, while Brissett suffered first- and seconddegree burns of the face.

I have been trying to book 'Freedom 251'. It is a 3G phone with a 4-inch WVGA resolution display, features a 1.3 Ghz quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB total storage space and a 3.2 megapixel camera on the back. A 0.3 MP selfie camera and a 1450 mAh battery. And the price a Dinnasouras jaw dropping price INR 251. And I have failed. I read on tweets that the servers have crashed.
I am witness to many complains and irritated customers who have ben hit non-responsive site. It seems RINGING BELLS underestimated demand. Are they stupid or is this a scam. The successful CMO (if there is one) should be sacked to allow another FLIPKART story.
Anyway, WTF is Ringing Bell. It is a 5 months and 2 days (ROC 285276 Delhi) company with just INR 60 Lakh paid capital. Activity covers 'Manufacturing of television and radio transmitters and apparatus for line telephony and line telegraphy'.
It is in focus for having suddenly made an unbelievable offer. A smartphone at just INR 251 plus Shipping INR 40.
Here comes the googly as Doosara is banned. The company claims 'Freedom 251 smartphone has been developed 'with immense support' from the government. It is a success story of PM Modi's flagship 'Make in India' scheme'. Now it will be interesting to know what are these supports and how do they influence pricing.
Is the Government subsidising? (Please do note that BJP Stalwart Murli Manohr Joshi was present at the launch function. The chief guest Manohar Parrikar did not come to grace the occasion). Mobile industry body has asked telecom minister Ravi Shankar Prasad to scrutinise the price. According to ICA the said phone canot be below Rs 3,500 even on an subsidised sale.
On the other side, 'Ringing Bells' where bells have yet to stop pinging, said they will be able to sell INR 250 phone at INR 251 by adapting measures like economies of scale, innovative marketing, reduction in duties and creating an ecommerce marketplace.
Well someone has a trick up his sleeve which everyone will be dieing to learn. Or millions of people in India have just been tricked.
Oh, there are 4 other models ( SMART101, MASTER, 4U and KIWI) from Ringing Bells displayed at their site. And if you try ordering anyone of them, a pop up window nastily informs you of the wonderful response and that the phones are outsold. You must wait your turn.
In terms of marketing, it has been well has timed with 'MAKE IN INDIA'. It is blatantly flouting NATIONAL FLAG ACT AND NORMS in its advertisement and product design. Does naming it 'FREEDON 251' gives you license to do so. Then maybe INDIA PAAN WAALA also is eligible for it.
It is good to note the difference in the two ads published in TOI and HT differs in using of the flag. TOI ad does not carry Ashoka Chakra- thank you for being vigilant. HT does not seem to have learnt form its all colour weekend supplement launch that was delayed (1994 or 95) due to front page carrying an ad with national flag impression.
Media has taken the risk. Normally it is client who is answerable to ASCI and Government. But here is a case they can and should not be allowed to hide behind any excuse.
The full-page advertisements have been splashed across publications. Such acts needs such build-up and the CMO has been right in his strategy. It is just 2 days of media, which has taken the nation by storm. Even JNU seems to have been forgotten. The estimated current investment of INR 6-10 CR can be recovered with booking of 1.6 Lakh units.
Hope the media publishers and the agencies have done their homework.
Ashraf Bhai –my Saabzi waala, Radhey Patel- my Paan waala and Raju my barber, are absolutely confident clear. It is in newspapers it must be right. Print (still) carries credibility. They have each booked 5-6 phones. They have a delivery confirmation for 30th April!
In many ways media should be responsible if it finally turns out to be a fraud scheme. I am sure they have been prudent and have secured their investments. But I wish they have secured their biggest investment TRUST too.
One is not sure, if media has visited their offices, met the promoters, and deep dived in asking questions like they do. Have they seen the factory? Will Arnab let the nation know- what nation today wants to know? WILL I GET MY PHONE?
A question rises. Should we expect Government to always act like Police in Hindi movies. Should it always come in after fraud has been committed. Or the citizens can expect early action. To validate or to expose 251- now that it is so blatently been advertised. No one in the country can say they are unaware of it. It is not like an additional floor is constructed in a highrise.
It is like 'KAR LO MUTTI MAI' campaign by Reliance. The INR 500 phone that took the nation in its frenzy. There was a reason for Reliance wanting to mop up numbers. Customer had a protection with brand s Reliance (J). It had the power of Dhirubhi Ambani dream, where customer and stakeholders were never cheated.
Here, do you know the Directors at Ringing Bells, Mohit Kumar, Sushma Devi and Rajesh Kumar. Do you know, Ashok Kumar Chadha, who is the President ad was at the center of the launch function. The alarm bells are really loud this time. And that starts ringing some bells. Bells of Alarm.
Mohit Kumar Goel ( facebook- 'cutemohit') is AMITY UNIVERSITY Alumni. He is the brain behind the company. Till very recntly he has been assiting them in their groccery shop in Shamli distict in UP. This has been said by his parents. His wife, Dharna is the CEO of the company.
There is no investment from Mohit or his family and two plants of INR 250 Cr WILL be put in place to maufacture 'Freedom 250'. The money will be raised from equity and debt- and that is where the game seems to be heading. It seems as if you were selcting school for your kids before your wife gets pregnant. But, then it is an acceptable entreprenuial practice. Now he will have the numbers and money in hand to leverage.
The launch unit of FREEDOM 251 carried ADCOM branding. A similar phone by ADCOM is sold at INR 5000. Ringing Bell countered saying this is a BETA version and final will carry ADCOM branding.
Booking of 40 to 50 Lakh units is not an over estimation. They will mop INR 125 crore plus in this stunt. Not bad at all.
So, why was I booking, for the same reason all of us were booking.
The unbeatable price. The low cost of experimentation. My visit to barber could buy me 6 phones. A pack of Wills Classic Mild is as good as a phone. As a marketer I wanted to go through the experience. I can afford to lose the money. That's where 251 magic works.
If the phone is delivered- it is good for kids- good paperweight- good 8 GB drive- good gift. Trust me I will be able to find many usage and willingly eat my words and take back what ever been said here.
Should we really be seeing too much into this, when we hear of 'Data Wind' planning a smartphone at INR 999 sometime this year.

historic old crop circles - overseas circles
1971 - Tooligie Hills
This unusual circle has been quite widely reported, but due to its odd nature, has been described in a variety of ways. Circular Evidence for example calls it a circular trough of bare soil, and "the wheat inside was flattened with a clockwise swirl". Dimensions also vary widely from report to report.
The best way to understand the anatomy of this circle is via the photograph opposite. What we have is a central area which has been flattened with no obvious swirl evident. Around this is a broad ring of bare soil, and around that, a narrow band of anti-clockwise swirled stems.
The circle was found by farmer Rob Habner, on or around Christmas Day, 1971. Due to the fact that the land had not been farmed since December 8th (and the observation that a few fallen seeds had germinated) it was probably a couple of weeks old by that point.
The police were called to look at the circle but apparently there was no follow-up on the case. It was, however, reported in the newspaper Australian Post and several others (see below).
Keith Basterfield's investigation team also visited the site and recorded their observations. The soil in the field was said to be hard, and there were no tracks evident where somebody might have entered the formation.
Their diagram is reproduced below.
Media interest
Australian newspapers showed an interest in the case. Near right is a report in The Australian (May 4, 1972) detailing a pending site visit by UFO investigators.
Far right is a report from the (Adelaide) Sunday Mail (April 22, 1972) which oddly refers to "Markings" (plural), implying more than one circle was known.

The energetic and engaging singer and bandleader Graham Dalby led his London Swing Orchestra at the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford this week.
There were more than twenty numbers performed by the small Orchestra, as memories of the greats of jazz were paraded across the floor of the Sheldonian – Duke Ellington, Scott Joplin, Benny Goodman and more. There was juggling of musical instruments, juggling of musical parts and nine musicians raised the roof like something triple the size.
Following along the timeline of toe tapping tunes – such as The Cotton Club Stomp; Swing, Swing, Swing; and How High the Moon – came the telling of the vibrant story of jazz, from both sides of the Atlantic, from the early 20th century to the 1950s.
For over 2½ hours the audience couldn't resist moving to the beat and the opportunities for joining in kept coming – maybe even more than expected.
The entire concert was fun and it was full of life. It was rousing and it was reviving.
The London Swing Orchestra was joined by singer Lesley Anne Knight and all were surprisingly – yet marvellously – juxtaposed with the amazing musical improvisation act Peablossom Cabaret, giving the whole night a real showtime feel.
The concert was also supporting national foodbank charity The Trussell Trust.

My name is Lynne Stringer and I love writing! Of course, that's not all I love. I also love reading books, especially ones that take me out of the every day and into a new world. It doesn't have to be a completely imaginary world, either. Anything with fascinating characters and interesting storylines will do. My first young adult novel, The Heir, was accepted for publication by Wombat Books and released on 1 June 2013. It is the first book in the Verindon trilogy. It's so exciting to have a real copy of my book in my hands.
Tied in Pink is a collection of romance novellas put together to support breast cancer research (a cause I'm only to happy to support). As you'd expect from an anthology, the quality and style of the works vary widely, with some holding my attention and engaging me throughout, often before they reached moving conclusions, while others I found less entertaining. Some were quite chaste, while others more risque with a sprinkle of profanity. I think there's something for everyone in this anthology and I encourage you to buy it. You'll not only be supporting a worthy cause but I'm pretty sure you will enjoy a few of its stories, if not more.

Firstly, they had solid margaritas, both strong and tasty. And happy hour prices were a nice bonus. Service was professional and attentive. And the food was quite delicious, appetizers to main courses (great taco selection) to desserts. Food felt more authentic than a tex-mex restaurant.
from Google Reviews
My wife and I picked this Mexican restaurant based on some Google Reviews and the proximity to our apartment.
The atmosphere is relaxed with a modern industrial decor. Exposed pipes, concrete and wood abound but is not over done. There is a large open siting bar that looks out to the street and the open kitchen in situated in the middle of the restaurant. We had excellent service from Luis and we were able to be seated quickly.
The food is fantastic, all local or made in house including a large selection of in house tequilas. We had an amazingly good gluten free calamari for an appetizer which would have been enough for 3-4 people. For dinner we had tacos (of course) and a hanger steak skillet platter. Both were very good and it reminded us of some of Johnny Hernandez's dishes in San Antonio. We could not finish our meals they were so large and had to take them home.
Overall this place deserves 5/5 stars and I highly recommend it. The food is wonderful and authentic, service was great and the atmosphere was fun. We will return

This was my 3rd time to El Centro for brunch! This was the best experience of the 3 visits. We sat in the rooftop area. The service with Steven was awesome! He was friendly and very attentive! The food was great and fast service too. We went a bit slower with ordering the plates, pacing ourselves. The drinks were nice and refreshing ( nice pours). Go to El Centro for Bottomless Brunch!! It's a great place to meet up or for a date!

Called a week ahead to make a reservation and the lady said I was on for that date. When I called the day of to confirm, the lady who answered told me I was good to go for my scheduled time.
I called back 20 minutes later to see if I could move our party to the rooftop and the man who picked up said there was no record of my reservation what so ever. After stressing me out for a few minutes he said he would make it work.
I think we were fortunate to come in at a relatively slower hour on a busy day. If they wouldn't have been able to work it out this would be a much worse review.
I've been here before and normally when you make a reservation they called you te day before to confirm and I didn't get that call. So, somewhere along the host staff there was a disconnect.
The bottomless brunch for $35 is a pretty good value considering it's DC. The food is good not great. The drinks are pretty well put together in terms of alcohol content. Service staff has been very pleasant in my experience.
Good enough to keep coming back but, not a first choice.
from Google Reviews
The atmosphere was ruined by the super loud music. Service was ruined by waiting so long for host, and mistakes on our order. Brunch was ruined by the food being subpar. The only thing that saved it was the unreal speed of the kitchen. Our food was ready in just a couple minutes. Very fast kitchen. Overall , I feel that was my last time going there.

As I write this, I am in Israel. I'm here for a three-week stay. My wife is from Israel. We used to come here every summer along with our two kids. My wife still has family here. But ever since her mother (affectionately known as 'Safta', or Hebrew for grandma) passed away nearly two decades ago, we have only been to Israel a few times.
This is my first time in six years. My wife and I are staying in Tel Aviv, renting an apartment only a couple blocks from the beach. But earlier today, we spent the day in Jerusalem. The Eternal City. For those that have only seen Jerusalem in documentaries, the Old City is everything National Geographic depicts it as, and then some.
The different ethnicities–Arab, Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Armenian, and tourists from all over the world–blending seemlessly, negotiating labyrhintine alleys hundreds of years old … this is why they make TV specials about the Old City … it is truly special.
But I am especially fixated on Jerusalem's architecture. Perhaps I'll be more inspired to create more three-dimensional landscape art based on the Old City. Currently, I have one painting in my series of Doors and Small Buildings, called Jerusalem Doorway, which is available as a print on my online gallery.
You'll get a sense of the reliance on stone that has been used for millenia in Jerusalem's various structures.
We just happened to be in Jerusalem while approximately one-tenth of Israel's population flocked to the Old City for the funeral of the spiriitual leader of the Sepharadi community. It was utter chaos. But an experience I'll never forget.
Being stuck in traffic–a total standstill–forced me to really take in the architectural gems of the Old City. Who knows when/if I'll ever come back to Jerusalem. Hopefully, I will be back here to take in even more areas of this amazing city.
I'm mostly inspired by cityscapes and urban architecture. Even though Jerusalem is a city, I consider replicas of the Old City landscape art. This is not a hip, modern, vibrant skyline like Tel Aviv. But maybe just maybe I'll start working on morearcheological/historical landscapes. Stay tuned….

stressed at workPosted by Jesse Pega at 4:14 AM
Yes. That's my current status rightnow. As in. Too many work to do. So many things going on in the organization. What's worst pa, I felt that someone new here in our group "violated" my work. I can't explain in detail but I really feel upset about it. It happened yesterday when I was on leave. My assistant just told me about it. Hay naku... things like this makes me think again of quitting and probably just concentrate on being a wife na lang ... what do you think?

Keywords: tRemoteConn memory
What seems to be happening is that every tRemoteConn to a new server eats up around 300-400Kb of memory. As there does not appear to be a 'close' command to close tRemoteConn connections, I was wondering how best to conserve memory during processing of this type?
My guess is there is some amount of memory loss due to the iniital connection to a new machine. Unfortunately there is not alot we can do about it. It seems to be a problem with the underlying windows API function.
The only suggestion I can make at this point is to have the script process something like 10 servers at a time, then having the script restart itself for the next 10, and exit.

Episode #12-15 "Venus in Transit"
JAMES: And I'm James Albury, director of the Kika Silva Pla planetarium in Gainesville, Florida. We're here to help you find your way around the sky tonight. Hey Dean, do you remember where you were exactly 8 years ago?
DEAN: Hmmm, probably looking at the planet Venus. Venus and the earth share an interesting synchronicity. For every 8 times the earth revolves around the sun, Venus completes almost exactly 13 circuits of the sun.
JAMES: That means that every 8 years, Venus returns to almost the same exact place in the sky. And eight years ago this June, Venus did something no living person had seen before. Something that will happen only one more time in the next 100 years.
DEAN: Get your calendars out, because we're going to tell you when you can see the transit of Venus!
JAMES: Okay, we have our sky set to any night this week facing west at 9 pm. The sun has just set and the brighter stars are coming out.
DEAN: But not all of these night lights are stars. Look quickly after 9 pm in the west to spy the giant planet Jupiter. Jupiter will be riding off into the sunset soon when it will actually go behind the sun. Jupiter will then pop up in the morning sky in late June.
JAMES: Up a little higher in the west you'll find dazzling Venus. People often mistake Venus for a low-flying airplane or a UFO. But there's nothing unidentified about Venus. You simply can't miss it. Venus is named for the Roman goddess of beauty, and with just one look you can see why she garnered so much attention.
DEAN: 400 years ago the famous astronomer from Pisa, Italy, Galileo, aimed his small telescope at Venus and saw something startling. Venus was not a pinpoint like a star, and definitely not a perfect disc like Jupiter. Over the next few months, Galileo sketched what he saw. Check this out, Venus not only went through phases like the moon, but it also got bigger in the telescope as it appeared more like a crescent! This was the first proof that planets orbited the sun. Why, you ask?
JAMES: Like in April 2004, this month Venus will appear to be halfway lit up in a telescope.
DEAN: A half-Venus.
JAMES: Venus is reflecting the light of the sun coming to us on a 45 degree angle. So it looks half-lit. As the days go on, Venus will catch up to the earth in our orbit around the sun. That means Venus will get closer and closer to us…
DEAN: while the sunny side of Venus will be pointed more and more away from us. Then the phase of Venus will look more like a crescent. Here is Venus on May 5th…and again on May 20th. Notice that it's appearing to get bigger too, as it gets closer? This can only happen if Venus orbits the sun!
JAMES: The culmination of this déjŕ vu-from-2004 will come on the evening of June 5, 2012, when Venus will be directly between the earth and the sun. This transit of Venus will appear like a tiny black dot going in front of the sun - an eclipse in miniature. The same thing happened on June 8, 2004.
DEAN: There'll be a little black spot on the sun that day…
JAMES: One slight problem: you can't look directly at the transit of Venus without protection. I mean you're still looking right at the sun and that will definitely damage your eyes.
DEAN: There are a number of safe ways to look at the sun, but all require varying degrees of investment and research. Don't take chances when looking at the sun. Contact your local planetarium, observatory, or amateur astronomy group because chances are they'll be having a transit-watching party with safe solar telescopes and would love to have you join!
JAMES: What's the big deal? Won't this transit happen again 8 years from now?
DEAN: Venus returns to almost the same place in the sky every eight years. But not exactly. In 2020, the earth, sun, and Venus will almost line up.
JAMES: But almost isn't good enough?
DEAN: Nope, and the next time Venus will go perfectly in front of the sun will be the year 2117!
JAMES: So you better mark your calendars for this transit of Venus on June 5th.
DEAN: But you don't have to wait for June 5th to see the clouded, shrouded goddess of beauty. You can find Venus blazing in the western sky after sunset - almost exactly where you left her eight years ago.
BOTH: Keep looking up!
Episode #12-15 "Venus in Transit"
JAMES: Let's show you the transit of Venus!
JAMES: Okay, we have our sky set to any night this week facing west at 9 pm. The sun has just set and the brighter stars are coming out.
DEAN: But not all of these night lights are stars. Look quickly after 9 pm in the west to spy the giant planet Jupiter.
JAMES: Up a little higher in the west you'll find dazzling Venus. You'll be seeing a lot of her until mid May.
DEAN: Then on June 5th, Venus will pass directly in front of the sun. There'll be a little black spot on the sun that day - an eclipse in miniature.
JAMES: When viewing, always use safe, approved solar filters or contact your local astronomy club to keep your eyesight safe.
DEAN: Please, please, please don't miss this one because the next time Venus will go in front of the sun will be the year 2117!
BOTH: Keep looking up!

turn on, tune up
May 3rd, 2011 by A.G.J.
Awhile back I flew to Canada next to a guy who played drums in a reggae band. Forgive me for not remembering the band's name – or the guy's. But what I do remember is him telling me that the group was asked to play a concert in the Sudan. And that when they went over there, fighting stopped while various bands performed a week-long concert. His eyes grew big with disbelief as he asked, in his island accent, Can you imagine?! Soldiers, everyone dancing in the streets. No war. No place for it. I tell you it was a miracle.
I get it.
In my experience, war emerges in the absence of song. Have you ever noticed how amazingly orchestrated every aspect of life is when you're walking down the street listening to your ipod? Suddenly it's all connected and cool – how the cars move, the people that walk by, the way the clouds drift overhead, even litter winks back. It's when we stop hearing the music that we get lost in our heads. Thoughts of lack and fear can consume us. They turn us off literally.
Music takes us out of our head because it's an invitation to listen, not think. I remember reading somewhere that indigenous people took singing very seriously. At times, they even "sang for their life". They knew something we've forgotten: we cannot sing and fear at the same time.
Don't take my word for it though. Test it yourself. Go on. Listen to the music. Sing it, sister. Belt it, brother.

First of all, excuse the pun (sometimes I amaze myself with my hilarity). But seriously, I wasn't expecting to feel so good after trying yoga for the first time yesterday.
A fellow blogger recommended that I try a new hobby to distract myself from the constant stream of baby-making thoughts that run through my head on a daily basis. I've always been interested in yoga but have never actually tried it. In fact, I decided a while ago that when I'm pregnant I would start yoga to stay relaxed through the whole process. But I was forgetting that the process has already begun and being relaxed at this point in my journey is just as important as the rest of it. So I went for it. And I loved it!
Now, I'm not getting ahead of myself here. I'm quite aware that I've only tried it once so I do not profess to be any sort of know-it-all when it comes to this kind of exercise. But I can really understand why so many people are yoga mad.
How did I get started?
I have a yoga mat that I usually use when I do a HIIT workout at home (I say usually, I think the last time I did one Robbie Williams was still part of Take That) so I delved into the depths of the wardrobe and dusted it off. Having thrown on my leggings and an old t-shirt, I was ready to get my yoga on. One problem. No DVD. Not to worry though; one thing I love about the modern age is the trusty fountain of all knowledge – YouTube.
First search:
Yoga for beginners
It bought up a whole list of yoga experts looking absolutely gorgeous but every one I put on felt kind of intimidating, with the instructor sounding far too zen for a first-timer. I wanted something a little more 'normal'.
So I sought the advice of my number one therapist – Google.
I came across a perfectly titled article – The 5 least annoying yoga instructors on YouTube. Exactly what I needed.
I decided to go with Adriene because the description made her sound like she knew what she was doing but would also have some fun with it. And she did not disappoint. She is very relaxing, and clearly very bendy, but she allows a little freedom with the movements so you don't feel like you can't keep up. My body clicked and creaked like never before but as a result I felt nicely stretched out and uber chilled.
I did day one of the 30 day challenge so, while I don't think I'll be able to do it everyday (for example I'm currently very hungover and the thought of hanging my head upside down makes me want to vom), I am going to try and make it part of my weekly routine so I can properly start to feel and enjoy the benefits.
I would highly recommend trying a bit of yoga if you haven't done it before. I'm sure it isn't for everyone but you don't know until you try!

As part of a system to help the NHS monitor medication errors, a series of indicators are being introduced to show whether a prescription may have contributed to a patient being admitted to hospital.
The move follows recommendations in the report of the Short Life Working Group on reducing medication-related harm.
The experimental indicators link prescribing data with hospital admissions for the first time. The purpose is to identify prescribing that could potentially increase the risk of harm and that may be associated with hospital admission. The aim of the indicators is to:
The first indicators will measure the number of admissions for gastric bleed per 10,000 patients currently prescribed a NSAID without a gastro protective medicine. The programme will cover more medicines and associated conditions later in the year.
The launch of the new system follows research which highlighted the impact of medication errors, with an estimated 237 million taking place every year.
There are also plans to accelerate the introduction of electronic prescribing systems across more NHS hospitals this year.

Universal Pictures' big-budget fairy tale "The Huntsman: Winter's War" was a dud at the box-office this weekend as it opened to a mere $20.1 million – that's 64% lower than the domestic debut of its 2012 predecessor "Snow White and the Huntsman" with $56.2 million.
With a $115 million budgeted film and terrible reviews, it's going to have to hope to make its cash back overseas. Yet, after two weeks of global release, the film has managed only a further $80.2 million outside the U.S. so far. It also marks the latest non-Marvel costly film flop for Chris Hemsworth off the back of last year's "Blackhat" and "In the Heart of the Sea".
Disney's "The Jungle Book" stayed in first place, taking in a further $60.8 million over the weekend domestically and globally soaring past the $500 million mark. "Barbershop: The Next Cut" came in third with $10.8 million, followed by "Zootopia" with a further $6.6 million domestically and an incredible global total so far passing the $900 million mark.
In limited release, the Tom Hanks-led "Hologram for a King" opened in tenth to $1.2 million from a 400-screen rollout, the Kevin Spacey and Michael Shannon comedy "Elvis and Nixon" had a similar screen number but only managed $470,000.

For Make Money Monday this week, I thought I'd discuss a business concept that I have never considered before – franchising. I recently attended an instruction session at a golfTEC, courtesy of the Ladies Dinner Club. golfTEC offered our group complimentary golf swing analyses via Professional Golfers Association (PGA) professionals and computer graphics technology. They use a camera and biotech feedback to record and provide comparisons of your swing to professional averages. They even have video shorts recorded of PGA professionals such as Tiger Woods taking swings at the ball and provide a video close-up of you in split screen with the professional. This was a very valuable tool used to provide a side-by-side comparison. Using a graphics pen, the professional instructor could draw lines to show one's own body angles when hitting a golf ball as compared with a PGA professional. This method of instruction was very beneficial.
golfTEC Franchises
golfTECs are owned by investors, including PGA and Ladies PGA (LPGA) professionals. According to the company's website, golfTEC is a brand recognized by the PGA of America as certified indoor teaching centers and almost all of the instructors are PGA or LPGA professionals. All instructors are golfTEC certified instructors.
According to entrepreneur.com golfTEC is ranked #43 in the top home based franchises and #1 in its category of franchises. Entrepreneur.com also lists a total investment in golfTEC between $111.5k and $427.7k with a franchise fee of between $17.5k and $35k.
Benefits of Business
Golf enthusiasts that value the game of golf may find pursuing a golfTEC franchise as a way to connect with industry players while teaching others how to improve their golf game. Just as with any business venture, there are certainly risks, but also many potential rewards. Why not franchise a golfTEC?
Have you ever considered franchising a business? What's your take?

Top 5 Family Party Preparation Tips & Tricks
Way back in the years B.C. (Before Children) your parents hosted family holidays. Now with kids of your own, you're in charge!
For Anuja Ghimire, a mother of two, there was no choice but to dive in. "Because my family lives in Nepal and my husband and I live in Texas," she says, "Family gatherings are that much more important to us."
And because keeping traditions is important to us moms, Anuja offers these four great tips for making parties easy, memorable and fun.
1. Cook and prep beforehand
"Everything's done by the time guests arrive," she says. "I'd rather be talking to my friends than in the kitchen cooking."
The party plan:
- Shop the week before
- Prep the food the day before
- Cook your dishes the morning of the party
2. Fast cleanup
"I like cooking but I hate cleanup," Anuja confesses. She prefers disposable plates and napkins to china and stations pretty, pop-up trashcans in convenient locations around the house so guests can easily bus their plates themselves.
- Convenient pop-up trashcans
- Disposable plates and napkins
To keep it green, choose compostable paper goods that are easy on Mother Earth. Have a separate trash bin for recycling cans and bottles.
3. Serve good food
"If people enjoy the food they care less about other mishaps," Anuja says. The best dinner has something for everyone:
- A meat dish
- A vegetarian dish
- Fruit platters
- Finger food, like cupcakes for the kids
Anuja is a vegetarian and prepares the meatless dishes while her husband often cooks up his specialty: lamb curry. "I'm lucky," she confesses. "My husband likes to cook!"
4. Get the family involved
Anuja makes party prep a family affair. "I want my kids to take away the message that it's good to celebrate holidays with people to show that you care about others."
Encourage your children to:
- Set the table
- Pass out party favors
- Entertain the guests
"My girls love to sing," laughs Anuja. "We don't need cable with them around."
Family time is important
"As the kids get older, I feel a responsibility to teach them why we do what we do," Anuja says. "I enjoy that responsibility–I signed up for it voluntarily!"
With good food, a helpful hubby and two entertaining girls, Anuja's family traditions will carry on in Texas. Read how to host the perfect party here.

UW-Whitewater Children's Center Director
I have lived in Whitewater since I transferred here as an undergraduate student. As an alumns of UWW, I earned both a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education, as well as a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I worked for 10+ years as a Kindergarten teacher in various elementary schools until I took some time to work in the home raising my two young children. During this time, I was lucky enough to come back to UW-WHitewater as a part-time instructor and supervisor of Student Teachers in the Early Childhood Education program. In 2013, I was offered the position at the Children's Center as Interim Director. In January 2016, I became the full time Director. Working with young children and families brings me professional challenge, joy, and a great deal of reward. My favorite activities involve attending my now teenage children's activities: soccer, baseball, basketball games, bowling league, band concerts, and much more. We love being a part of the Whitewater community! In my spare time, I have been challenging myself to try new things. This has lead me to running and tap dance classes - way out of my comfort zone with both.
Program Assistant
Hi my name is Peggy Lean. I am the Program Associate at the Children's Center. I live in Palmyra with my Husband and 3 beautiful girls, Samantha, Sydney, and Sophia. I graduated from Waukesha Technical College with a degree in Office Management / Data Entry.
I have worked at the Children's Center since January 2004. Most days I can be found in the office at 1006 Roseman. At times you can also find me helping out in the Classrooms.
When I am away from the Children's Center I am usually with my 3 very active girls. They are all involved in sports (soccer, volleyball, basketball, and softball) and farm life. We raise, show and sell beef cattle at the Jefferson County Fair, and have 3 horses that we show and ride. When we are not playing sports and with the animals, I love traveling.
Robin Room (Toddlers)

I look forward to seeing continued growth and relationship building with the children, families, and staff that I worked with in the Infant classroom during the 2017 – 2018 school year. A bit about my professional and educational background: I completed my undergraduate work here in 2010 with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. In 2011 I began teaching in a 4K classroom and quickly realized that Early Childhood was where I was meant to teach. During the summer of 2013 I came back to UW-W to complete graduate work to obtain an add-on Early Childhood Licensure. I taught 4K for six years in various settings including University Avenue Discovery Center, Madison College and Wisconsin Heights School District. If you see me out and about please say hello!

I taught at a center in Delafield for about two years and finally found my way back to UW-Whitewater Children's Center in winter of 2018. I truly believe in the Children's Centers Philosophy and cannot be more proud to be a part of such an outstanding team. I recently got married June of 2018! Currently I live in Dousman WI, about 35 minutes from Milwaukee with my husband Chase. We enjoy spending time with our large family that includes 12 nieces and nephews!

JASON BONHAM'S LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE: New North American Tour Dates Announced
JASON BONHAM'S LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE — a unique trifecta of an amazing rock concert featuring the unforgettable blues-rock of LED ZEPPELIN, an over-the-top video and light show as well as the personal history that Jason Bonham shares in commemoration of his father with the legendary rock 'n' roll band — will return mid-October for a fall North American tour through November (confirmed dates are listed below).

20 June 2014
I'm very pleased to announce the launch of Compline's CRUX series. CRUX chapbooks are short, urgent interventions produced using only the materials at hand. Despite featuring elegant letterpress covers, they are produced and distributed for free (and will always be free!).
I'm honored to count CJ Martin's incredible and devastating poem LAND as the series' opening gambit. I found this poem so moving and technically interesting that I was compelled to share it with as many people as possible, especially given the endless and monotonous debates about poetry's efficacy (or lack thereof).
I will not mail these books as the cost of shipping would make this project untenable, but you can get one from me in person at Compline HQ (2556 Frances St., Oakland), at a reading in the Bay Area, at a distribution site in the Bay Area (see list below), or you can ask for one when you order another Compline book.
That said, in an attempt to get them in as many hands as possible, I'm partnering with friends across the country (and internationally!) to help distribute them outside the Bay Area. As a result, I've established "distribution sites" in most of the major poetry centers across the country to ensure that they're readily available (while remaining free). As a result, CRUX books can now be had via the following bookstores, reading series, art spaces, and roving human distribution sites. When you pick one up, please thank our friends for their help, and let me know if you'd like to help distribute these in your city. CRUX books are currently available (or will soon be available) here:
San Francisco: The Green Arcade
Oakland: The Bay Area Public School
Berkeley: Small Press Distribution
L.A.: Poetic Research Bureau
Portland: Spare Room Reading Series (c/o David Abel)
Olympia: (c/o David Wolach)
Seattle: (c/o Robert Mittenthal)
Vancouver: (c/o Stephen Collis & Amy De'ath)
Salt Lake City: (c/o Craig Dworkin)
Austin: (c/o Kyle Schlesinger)
Colorado Springs: Say Hello to Your Last Poem! Reading Series
Pittsburgh: (c/o Charles Legere)
Milwaukee: Woodland Pattern
Princeton: (c/o Orlando Reade)

February 7, 2014. It is a day that will forever live in infamy. At least it will for me. The 4th annual Comic Con in Delhi began with such promise, and it ended in surprised disgruntlement. There is no reason this should have been, we had industry legends coming down to partake in the festivities, we had promises of 15 winners for Cosplay thus ensuring a more than healthy turnout of decked out people, we had professional Japanese cosplayers, and we had the promise of oodles of comics to whet our hungry eyes. We had Comic Con! But, after the 7th, I will never again be as excited as I was about an Indian Con.
All the elements were there, but something was still missing. Something not so intangible, and yet infinitely fleeting. Being an editor at Campfire graphic Novels meant that I was anchored to our stall most of the time, and getting on stage a few times at our launches of Magical Animals and World War One 1914-1918, but that didn't stop me from exploring the rest of the massive venue. Comics! And action figures! Installations! A gaming hub! Comics again! T-shirts! Posters! Mugs! Fridge magnets! Ohhh! COMICS!!! Then wallets! Anime figurines! Dolls! Plushies! And then I stopped thinking in exclamation marks as I noticed that there were maybe 7 stalls in all that had books. And then my brain broke. Whut?!
Smaller publishers and independent comic creators were almost sidelined as they were relegated to dinky little booths that were engulfed by the massive tidal wave of merchandise that flooded the halls. They could not even begin to compete with the bling of the real sellers at these cons, the plethora of knick knacks that people consume at an almost unholy rate. Don't get me wrong, I love the stuff as well. 14 inch statue of Batman, oh hell yes. Pirate Hunter Zoro T-shirt, most def! 300 sword and helmet key chain, shut up and take my money! But, and this is a but that would give Jabba The Hutt some serious competition, all this is secondary.
What is the essence of a comic con? Is it the bright-eyed fans clutching their new acquisitions? Maybe it's that heady smell that is left after 9 hours of people tramping through the area, a potent mixture of sweat, leather, plastic, pulp, expensive food, burnt money and body paint? There are many flavours that make the tapestry of a comic con. But paramount, one would think, would be the books. The comics, the characters and their creators. And at times, I was struck by how many people were buying books, it was great to see so many people diving into new realms of existence, but at the same tie I was disappointed that most people don't really venture into newer territories, but try stalwart routes. And those people that were buying books were outgunned by the many of the Merchandise.
I realise that if I keep griping, someone might get the idea that I didn't enjoy myself. Not only would they be incorrect, but thems be fighting words! For how else can I not stay optimistic, and hope for a better day, a better dawn, a greater Con. Not the shady meaning of the word either, mind you. It's just that this was a con where Mark Waid, Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon get audiences of 50-75 people, 30 of them actually listening to words and nodding, laughing at little jokes; and an AXN event showcasing the screenshots from all the seasons of Sherlock got a gazillion people, a crowd that made crossing 20 feet take ten minutes, hooting and hollering their lungs out. And people might say that this is a con like any other. Then I ask them, what is a Con? There, not so easy is it.
Also, David Lloyd charges 600 for a sketch! Whut?!

Well we made it safely home :) I'm a little behind in posting pictures of the last 3 days of the road trip, but I'll get to it this week sometime. Classes start tomorrow :(... I'm not really ready for the craziness that it will bring but I just keep thinking that in 4 months it will be over and I will have survived (somehow)... and try to enjoy surviving it along the way (I put that in there just for you, mom).
Thomas and I are graduating in May... yay! But that means the job search is on, at least for Thomas. For me, the important thing is to remain a legal resident of the US when my student visa becomes void... haha. We're in the middle of getting a one-year extension which permits me to work until we can get my green card.
Tonight feels like the calm before a storm... a storm which (for me) includes completing 27 credit hours worth of classes before May 8th, finding a job for Thomas, trying to remain "legal" in the US, having no idea where we're going to be headed after graduation in four months, and more. God has faithfully taken care of us over the past year of our marriage, and even just today we saw how he was clearly looking after us. So we will praise Him in this storm, because He will get us through when we cannot see around those storm clouds.
That's all for now folks... it's late and I have class in the morning. Pictures will be coming soon.
