A far simpler way of using OAuth than the "heavier" implementations like Net::Oauth or even Net::Oauth::Simple. I had my client working in just a few minutes using this code, after messing with the other modules for hours.
My only suggestion is to not pass the new parameters like 'OAUTH_TOKEN' in to LWP::UserAgent->new after they're saved. This generates unneeded warnings. I worked around it by using the accessor methods to set these parameters after instantiating the object.
I would love it if the author does something similar to this to support OAuth 2 once it stabilizes.
Thanks for great job of "keeping it simple".

Wickerman Festival 2010
- Nicola Meighan
- 14 July 2010
'Most people don't realise that the Wickerman film was the first ever horror musical,' muses Sid Ambrose, the man behind the Dumfriesshire festival that bears its name. So, alongside bands like The Charlatans, Buzzcocks, Unicorn Kid and Teenage Fanclub, they're hosting a 'Sing-a-long-a-Wickerman' event this year. 'It's in the best tradition of musicals,' he laughs.
Ambrose, it is fair to say, is unrivalled in the wild programming stakes. Amid the rock stages, dance tents and new music arenas of the ninth Wickerman knees-up, you'll hence encounter silent ceilidhs ('Well, you've heard of headphones disco – it's such a surreal spectacle – and this is it with a Wickerman twist'), wood-carving demonstrations ('That'll tie in with this year's werewolf and vampire theme'), grass-sledges ('These are great, they're like mini-tanks') and a synthetic ice rink ('Folk might want to bring spangly Lycra along').
You'll also find kids' zones, hula-hoop workshops, and – not least – the festival's iconic centre-piece: the annual burning of a 40ft Wickerman sculpture, in homage to the cult 1973 movie that was shot nearby.
Ambrose's enthusiasm for the creative, energetic and just bizarre is boundless. Did he ever dream, ten years ago, that Wickerman would become Scotland's best-loved family festival? 'Let me tell you about the first year,' Ambrose deadpans. 'It was me and a group of teenagers. None of us worked in the music industry. We had no land. We had no money. We were treated with suspicion by the local authorities. But you know what they say: ignorance is bliss.'
Fri 22 Jul, Sat 23 Jul, East Kirkcarswell, near Dundrennan, south-west Scotland
For a full line-up, details of car shares, local buses, a Wickerman iPhone app and general festival info, go to: www.thewickermanfestival.co.uk


text: There are a couple reasons why CHAK DE INDIA is one of the more anticipated films to release in 2007. Firstly, it is yet another high-profile gathering of Shah Rukh Khan and Yash Raj Films. After hearing this, you?d think to yourself ? ?ah, another tear-jerking performance from another over-the-top romantic film.? Well, let?s not be too sure of ourselves; which brings me to the second reason why this film garners some thought ? Director Shimit Amin. It?s extremely rare to see a director, who took his first steps in the RGV Factory (with Ab Tak Chappan) waltz over to the Yash Raj banner. Needless to say the two high-profile production companies are like fire and ice, producing some of the most contrasting films you?ll find. Starring Shah Rukh Khan and newcomer Vidya Malvade in lead roles, CHAK DE INDIA revolves around Kabir Khan (SRK), the coach of a girl?s hockey team, and a young sikh girl, Vidya (Vidya Malvade), who wants nothing more than the hard-to-earn consent of her parents to be able to join the team. SRK plays the role of a muslim man, disturbed by the sorrows of life, who wants nothing more than to see his nation?s flag held high with all others. The girls? team makes it to Australia to play for the World Cup, and this is where the story portrays the plight and opportunities of the team as they fight for dignity, respect, and victory. Model-turned-actress Vidya Malvade has truly received the break of a lifetime with this role. Or has she? Ladies and gentleman, over the past decade and a half or so, there has been an ignored theme that has run beneath the career of Shah Rukh Khan and the debutant actresses who work with him. If we look back, there have been several instances where debutant actresses gain the break of a lifetime working opposite this larger-than-life superstar, but then failing to ever achieve any sort of success in their careers (if you can even call it that). Is it the SRK curse? Or is just the luck of the draw? Let?s reminisce?Circa 1993, Shilpa Shetty has a dream launch with SRK in BAAZIGAR. She?s been struggling ever since. Apart from MAIN KHILADI TU ANARI (1994) and DHADKAN (2000), Shilpa has really never been able to gain the acceptance of both the masses and the classes. It is obvious that she has the potential, but will she ever reach it?Suchitra Krishnamurty ? do I have to say anything else? You probably haven?t heard of her because she?s done absolutely nothing since her dream debut opposite SRK in Kundan Shah?s KABHI HAAN KABHI NAA (1994). It wasn?t until eleven years later she got a role in RGV?s MY WIFE?S MURDER (2005). Mahima Chaudary was probably the most surprising victim of debuting with SRK. Her role as Ganga in Ghai?s mega-blockbuster, PARDES, is still remembered by millions today. She was even hailed as Madhuri?s successor? but wait, what happened Mahima? A slew of flops and a number of special appearances later, you still remain just that one-hit wonder.Finally we have SRK?s co-star in ASOKA, Hrishita Bhatt. Although the film itself was a disaster, Bhatt was the one shining star in the entire film. But the curse had its way. Apart from full-fledged roles in films like DIL VIL PYAR VYAR and OUT OF CONTROL, she had a couple scenes in Shimin?s AB TAK CHAPPAN and a dance number in the super-flop, KISNA ? The Warrior Poet. Oh and I almost forgot, whatever happened to Gayatri Joshi from SWADES? ?Nuff Said! So it looks like history and fate is fighting hard against Vidya Malvade, who will be combating an uphill battle to prove that her career will be a success regardless of who she co-stars with. Vidya, here?s wishing you all the best ? and we hope the curse doesn?t cast its shadow on you as well. Coming back to the film itself, CHAK DE INDIA has music by composer duo Salim-Suleiman, while the editing is done by Shimit Amin himself (who was a full-time editor before his progression into the director?s seat). Cinematography will be handled by Vishal Sinha who did a stellar job working with Amin in AB TAK CHAPPAN. The film has been written by Jaideep Sahni.

There's no stopping a woman who has the focus & passion to excel
Channel Post speaks with Anita Thomson, Senior Sales Manager at StorIT Distribution on her journey as an IT professional.
Tell us about your leadership style and philosophy.
My leadership style and philosophy is focused on individual growth and development. I have always attempted to inspire and attain a passion in my work environment. I encourage people to take the leap of faith and move forward, braving the hurdles that come their way.
What made you choose IT as a career opportunity?
The opportunity happened by chance as I was pursuing a career in Accounts. However, the moment I put my hands into IT, I knew this was the place for me. I was always fascinated by this very dynamic industry. IT is the only field which can be related to every sphere of our life – be it education, medical, welfare, family, etc.
How has your unique background prepared you for success in the industry?
Strong parenting and their continued guidance has been a great influence on my success. I have always had the encouragement from my family and they have been my rock throughout my career. It has helped me understand the intellect of my coworkers and create an atmosphere to lead them effectively.
What was your most interesting job?
My most interesting job is what I do right now. My passion lies in IT Solution Sales. Nothing gives me a bigger satisfaction than providing solutions to the client and getting satisfied results from the IT team.
What advice would you give to women looking to break into the field of computer technology?
The advice that I want to give to women is to be friendly and approachable. This acumen can make us successful with people. We need to be constantly networking with others. Be willing to take risks and never be afraid to fail. There's no stopping a woman who has the focus and passion to excel.
What is the greatest transformation in technology you've witnessed in your career?
Every day is a new transformation and that is what we experience in technology. A new innovation happens just when we thought we were settling with the latest trends. However, to name one, I do believe that the mobile phone is amongst the greatest thing that has happened. It not only helps us to communicate but enables us to do things which we could not have imagined possible. We are always on the run and yet always connected.
What are your thoughts on the next transformation in the tech industry?
The next transformation which I see in the tech industry is advanced robotics and energy storage innovations. The world is moving into a difficult place where war and depletion of natural resources have become a resultant of our actions. To some extent we can repair these with the transformations in technology.
Are you involved in any sort of volunteer work? Can you give us some details?
Currently I am not involved in any volunteer work but would be interested in doing it.
What's next for you in terms of your career in the tech industry?

How much should you save in your Emergency Fund?
Some may say 3 months' salary, others may say 6, but they all say the same thing: you need an emergency fund in your savings account. But if you ask me, the whole concept of an Emergency Fund is a genius scam fueled by financial institutions.
Let's say the average person makes $50,000 annually. This means your emergency fund should be up to $25,000. You leave your emergency fund in your savings account, making so little interest you're practically losing money once you factor in inflation.
Meanwhile, this financial institution is lending out your $25,000 at 19.99% interest to another poor consumer who they've convinced to take on more credit card debt than they can manage. And in return, all you're getting is a measly 0.1% … 0.8% if you're lucky.
In other words, the reason why I don't believe in Emergency Funds is because Savings Accounts pay so little interest. If you have access to low-cost borrowing that you could easily access in the event of an emergency such as a Home Equity Line of Credit, it would be in your best interest to invest your Emergency Fund money instead.
If an emergency never arises, you're in the best possible position, and even if an emergency does arise, you're still in a much better position than you would have been if you had saved the cash in a savings account.
CIBC's Bonus Savings Account currently boasts a rate of 0.10% annually… if your balance is over $3,000. That's 0.0083% per month.
Now let's take a look at their sister company, PC Financial, known for their low fees and high interest. Their Interest Plus Savings Account has an interest rate of 0.8%. That's 0.067% per month.
So let's say Mr. A puts $12.500 in his CIBC savings account and $12,500 in his PC Savings account. After one month, his emergency fund of $25,000 will have grown to $25,009.38.
So after an entire year of going by the book and sitting on his $25,000 emergency fund, he's now made $112.87 in interest, for a grand total of $25,112.87.
Now let's meet Mrs. Z. Assume that instead of saving the $25,000 like Mr. A, she invested it in the CIBC Global Monthly Income Fund, which posted a moderate return of 5.4% last year. After one year at 5.4%, she now has $26,383.92, having made $1,383.92 in interest, a difference of $1,271.05.
Let's also assume she owns a home, which qualifies her for a Home Equity Line of Credit, with a low interest rate of 3.2%.
Now, at the beginning of Year 2, both Mr. A and Mrs. Z find themselves in a bit of a sticky situation and now owe $25,000.
Mr. A cashes out his savings account, leaving him with a total of $112.87. He transfers it to his higher savings account at PC, and at the end of Year 2, he now has $113.78.
Mrs. Z, on the other hand, leaves her Mutual Funds untouched, and instead borrows the $25,000 from her Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) at a rate of 3.2%.
So, at the end of the year, even though she now owes $27,240.70, her mutual fund is now worth $27,844.45. Even after she cashes it out to pay off her HELOC balance, she still has $603.75, $489.97 more than Mr. A.
What do you think? Do you keep an Emergency Fund? If so, how much do you keep in it?
(Disclaimer: If you don't have access to a HELOC or another source of easy access, low-cost borrowing, I would suggest you create an Emergency Fund with as low of a buffer as you're comfortable with, then invest the rest.)

On this week's episode Walter Cannon from RV Safety and Education Foundation discusses the formula for determining your tow vehicle's maximum towing capacity and your trailer's true weight. He will also tell us how to determine the tongue weight of your rig. The tongue weight is the downward force that the tongue of the trailer exerts on the hitch attached to your tow vehicle. To tow safely and control sway one should have a tongue weight of 9 – 15% of the trailer's total weight. Listen to Walter as he explains the true weight of your vehicle and rig. Insurers estimate 70% of the trailers being towed do not fit industry standards. Does yours? In our Girl Camper News Roundup we have a new trip – The Great American Road Trip through the north western hills of South Carolina. The Girl Campers will be leaving from Gaffney, South Carolina and taking the historic Rt 11 trip through the foothills to the Georgia border. Waterfalls, roadside stands, B & B's, Table Rock and lots of other tourist attractions await the traveler on this trip. Also on this episode is a segment on safe caravanning. When a group of people are all going to the same place, is it best to stay together or leave some room on the highway? Outside Our Bubble has some great advice and a Dash Cam "don't " to view.

"One of the primary characteristics of narcissists is their exaggerated sense of entitlement. It's hardly surprising then that so many politicians somehow think they deserve to game the system. After all, from their self-interested perspective, isn't that what the system is for? In their heavily self-biased opinion, if they want something, by rights it should be their's. So, nothing if not opportunistic, they take from public and private coffers alike whatever they think they can get away with. And given their grandiose sense of self, they're inclined to believe they can get away with most anything."
Leon F. Seltzer
"Representative institutions no longer represent voters. Instead, they have been short-circuited, steadily corrupted by an institutionalized system of bribery that renders them responsive to powerful interest groups whose constituencies are the major corporations and wealthiest Americans. The courts, in turn, when they are not increasingly handmaidens of corporate power, are consistently deferential to the claims of national security."
Sheldon Wolin, Inverted Totalitarianism
"The crash has laid bare many unpleasant truths about the United States. One of the most alarming, says a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, is that the finance industry has effectively captured our government—a state of affairs that more typically describes emerging markets, and is at the center of many emerging-market crises. If the IMF's staff could speak freely about the U.S., it would tell us what it tells all countries in this situation: recovery will fail unless we break the financial oligarchy that is blocking essential reform."
Simon Johnson, The Quiet Coup
"On Wall Street he and a few others—how many?— three hundred, four hundred, five hundred?—had become precisely that— Masters of the Universe."
Tom Wolfe, Bonfire of the Vanities
The pain of remaining human— when the increase in wickedness unleashes the age old enemy, and makes the love of most grow cold.
How does the status quo deal with an erosion of confidence in their actions in the late stage of a cycle of looting and abuse, caught as they may be in a credibility trap?
This is the point where we seem to be, when the facade of benevolent justice starts slipping away, and the looting and self-dealing becomes all too visible, on brazen display in scandal after scandal, special privileges and bailouts, and historic inequality.
And if there is an erosion of confidence, it surely cannot be due to anything that the best among us have done. They are wise and benevolent, heavily burdened by the task of guiding the public.
So there must be some foreign enemy or internal dissidents, actively trying to cause people to lose confidence in their rule.
When you run out of credible answers, one solution is to stop people from asking the questions. An offer of the bullet or the bribe is often effective for those with significant profiles and platforms. It is being used now more than you may know. The pressure on the well-informed to be silent is presently palpable. The quiet sacrifice of many people of conscience is under-appreciated.
A broader and more general use of censorship is sufficient for the rest. Concentration of mainstream media ownership in a few powerful hands is soon followed by increased and unilateral censorship powers over the wider variety of remaining independent sources.
There is a case to be made for restricting certain types of public speech, especially that which incites the public to violent prejudice. But that case must be narrow, highly transparent, and exceptional and infrequent. Unfortunately in times of general corruption measured restraint becomes abusive, widely and secretly used to silence any form of truth-telling and dissent from the established narratives and powers.
And it should be noted that in the cases of the most extreme examples of hate speech in history, their power was not in their eloquence, or the powerful logic of their arguments, of which they had neither. If we look at them now their language is crude and their ideas vulgar, false, and repugnant..
No, their power was that no one was able to speak out freely against them, to dissent from their obvious misstatements and errors, that were repeated endlessly without anyone who could effectively stand against them. And the people followed those lies into the abyss.
The Intercept
First France, Now Brazil Plan to Empower the Government to Censor the Internet
By Glenn Greenwald
Yesterday afternoon, the official Twitter account of Brazil's Federal Police (its FBI equivalent) posted an extraordinary announcement. The bureaucratically nonchalant tone it used belied its significance. The tweet, at its core, purports to vest in the federal police and the federal government that oversees it the power to regulate, control and outright censor political content on the internet that is assessed to be "false," and to "punish" those who disseminate it. The new power would cover both social media posts and entire websites devoted to politics...
Tellingly, these police officials vow that they will proceed to implement the censorship program even if no new law is enacted. They insist that no new laws are necessary by pointing to a pre-internet censorship law enacted in 1983 – during the time Brazil was ruled by a brutal military dictatorship that severely limited free expression and routinely imprisoned dissidents...
The move to obtain new censorship authority over the internet by Brazilian police officials would be disturbing enough standing alone given Brazil's status as the world's fifth most populous country and second-largest in the hemisphere. But that Brazil's announcement closely follows very similar efforts unveiled last week by French President Emmanuel Macron strongly suggests a trend in which government are now exploiting concerns over "Fake News" to justify state control over the internet...
Beyond having one's political content forcibly suppressed by the state, disseminators of "Fake News" could face fines of many millions of dollars. Given Macron's legislature majority, "there is little doubt about its ability to pass," the Atlantic reports.
Both Brazil and France cited the same purported justification for obtaining censorship powers over the internet: namely, the dangers posed by alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election. But no matter how significant one views Russian involvement in the U.S. election, it is extremely difficult to see how – beyond rank fear-mongering – that could justify these types of draconian censorship powers by Brasília and Paris...
So for those who are comfortable with the current French leader overseeing a censorship program in conjunction with courts to censor "Fake News" from the internet, do you trust the Trump administration to make those determinations? Do you trust Marine Le Pen?...
Read the entire essay at The Intercept here.
Given the growth of intolerance, a surprisingly large segment of the public will not only tolerate, but may welcome censorship. They wish to escape the pain of thinking, of being human. They wish to smash all the mirrors that reflect their growing inhumanity.
"It seems that under the overwhelming impact of rising power, humans are deprived of their inner independence and, more or less consciously, have given up establishing an autonomous position toward the emerging circumstances.
The fact that the foolish person is often stubborn must not blind us to the fact that he is not independent. In conversation with him, one virtually feels that one is dealing not at all with him as a person, but with slogans, catchwords, and the like that have taken possession of him.
He is under a spell, blinded, misused, and abused in his very being. Having thus become a mindless tool, the foolish person will also be capable of any evil and at the same time incapable of seeing that it is evil. This is where the danger of diabolical misuse lurks, for it is this that can once and for all destroy human beings."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"A true opium of the people is a belief in nothingness after death— the huge solace of thinking that for our betrayals, greed, cowardice, and murders that we are not going to be judged."
Czesław Miłosz

text: The story of how a refugee resolved to become Germany's first Syrian cheese-maker [Kait Bolongaro/Al Jazeera] Gunzburg, Germany - When Rami Haki fled to Germany in early 2015, becoming an entrepreneur was the furthest thing from his mind.He had enjoyed a successful career as an electrical engineer and university professor in Damascus, Syria, and anticipated finding work quickly in the robust German job market. "But," says the 38-year-old, "when I arrived, I saw that it is very difficult because you need to speak good German and get your qualifications [authenticated]." Rami now calls Gunzburg, a quaint Bavarian town where traditional houses line the streets of the historic centre, home. He lives in a refugee shelter with his wife, Hanaa, and their four young children. It is an old barracks-style building where 42 people from across the world live in eight large rooms and 12 smaller ones. A kitchen is shared between 10 people. The German government prevents refugees from working until they are granted asylum, but it does provide the family with a $1,743 monthly stipend to cover their expenses. Still, this troubles Rami. His father instilled in him the belief that one should earn one's own keep - even in difficult circumstances - and he says that he feels uncomfortable relying on the government to support his family. "I didn't want to take money from social services all the time for doing nothing," he says. "It was very harmful to my mind." Knowing that he could not find employment, Rami tried to find meaningful ways to fill his time - making friends, joining associations and learning German. He even became a member of a traditional shooting club, typically a bastion of the region's more conservative elements. But, despite his efforts to keep busy, the idleness began to take a toll on his mental health."For the first few months, every day when I woke up, I asked myself why I came here," he says."In Syria, I'm an important man. When somebody works for 20 years and you say to him, 'Now just sit in the house,' it's very hard."He decided to develop a project that would help to restore his professional pride - and, he hoped, one day help him regain his financial independence. After a relative in Syria gave him a recipe to make cheese, Rami and his wife Hanaa transformed their kitchen into a dairy laboratory [Kait Bolongaro/Al Jazeera] An accidental passion As Rami was devising a way out of his professional hibernation, he was also missing those foods that reminded him of home - Syrian cucumbers, kibbeh and cheeses. No matter how hard he looked, he could not find the white akkawi cheese he craved.He tried all sorts of cheeses - German, French, Danish and Swiss - hoping that one would come close - but with no luck."It's not that it's not good," he says. "But I have something from my country in my head and in my heart. I want to eat what I ate for 37 years [in Syria].""German cheese is perfect, but the cheese here isn't the same as in my country." He reached out to the Syrian community on social media, hoping that somebody would be able to point him in the direction of a shop that stocked akkawi. But nobody knew of one.An idea began to form in Rami's mind: He decided to become Germany's first Syrian cheese-maker. A relative in Syria gave him a recipe, and Rami and Hanaa collected the ingredients: farm-fresh milk, nigella, a black seed used in Syrian cuisine, rennet and salt. Little by little, the duo transformed their shared kitchen in the refugee shelter into a dairy laboratory. "First, everything must be clean and sanitary," says Rami, who closely adheres to Germany's strict food preparation laws. He learned them online and from a Palestinian friend who has lived in Germany for 25 years.Cleanliness is important in Syrian culture, he explains, adding that it is especially so for those living as refugees. "Syrian people want to give the German people a correct and good image of Syria," he says. INTERACTIVE: Alex Assali - The Syrian refugee giving back to Germany Rami and Hanaa begin by pouring five litres of milk into a pot. After bringing the milk to a boil, it is left to cool. Once it has reached 40C, Rami adds rennet to solidify the milk and nigella for flavour. The pot is then wrapped in a thick blanket for 45 minutes. As he waits for it, Rami begins to speak about Syria. He remembers friends - some of them dead now - and others who have fled to different parts of the world. He talks of the country he's left behind. His eyes fill with tears. As he was talking, the milk turned into a soft cheese.Hanaa places the akkawi into a soft net to remove the water. She salts the drained cheese and lets it sit for another hour. She is quiet as she concentrates on squeezing the cheese. A trained nurse from Damascus, Hanaa is the daughter of a wealthy landowner who was murdered, Rami explains, on the orders of a jealous neighbour and former family friend. He was shot dead by a hired gunman in the street. Her brother was killed 15 days later, and her mother a short while after that. Another brother also died in mysterious circumstances. Hanaa became the sole heir to the family's fortune, and it soon became clear that she was next on the hit-list.When Rami received a phone call telling him that his wife was the next target, he knew it was time to leave. "I didn't want to leave Syria, but my daughter asked me: 'Papa, please take me to Germany,'" he remembers.Bringing a small piece of Syria to GermanyRami recalls the first batch of cheese he attempted to make: "I was very sad because it didn't work," he says. The taste and texture were wrong. "But my father taught me that you don't always succeed the first time, so you have to have courage to try again." So, he carefully followed each step again. This time, the result was the taste of his childhood. "My wife told me it was perfect. My friends tried a piece and said 'You can sell this,'" he explains proudly. Rami was inspired. His goal became to share this little piece of Syria with the Syrians living in Germany. Hanaa and Rami hope their cheese will help other Syrians feel just a little more at home in Germany [Kait Bolongaro/Al Jazeera] When he told a Facebook group for Syrians in Germany about the cheese, the reaction was instant. "Many people wanted to order cheese," he says. "I didn't have enough for everyone." They now produce around 10kg of cheese a day, but their efforts still cannot satisfy demand. "I want a big kitchen and a big place to make the cheese," says Rami. He has already shipped more than 1,000kg of akkawi. For now, the enterprise does not turn a profit - they barely cover production costs. And Rami likes to give out free samples. "This is smart business. It is a type of propaganda," he laughs. A member of German society Throughout the entire asylum process, Rami has kept his papers diligently organised. He even arrived in Germany with his family's documents already professionally translated from Arabic into German. "The case officer told me that she had never seen anyone do that before," he says. If his refugee status is approved, the budding entrepreneur would like to register for a business licence to mass produce akkawi. Rami knows that German law can be rigid, but he is determined to get his small business off the ground. "When I sell something, I want to pay my taxes," he explains. "If someone from the government could show me how to succeed, I would be happy." While his heart is in Syria, Rami now wants to give back to the country that has sheltered him and his family. His goal is to become a tax-paying member of German society. Rami, Hanaa and their four children [Kait Bolongaro/Al Jazeera] For Rami, making akkawi has given him a renewed sense of purpose. "I want to make Germany fall in love with my cheese," he says. When Rami and Hanaa finish making the cheese, their children clamour into the kitchen for a snack. The oldest are attending school and already speak fluent German. The parents call their youngest son, Ricardo, a "Made in Germany" baby. He was conceived shortly after their arrival and was born in the nearby city of Ulm. Named after a new Portuguese family friend, he is the culmination of their journey to Germany and a symbol of their desire to succeed in their new country.

yarn along: baby stuff, rainbow socks, and dickens
9 comments:
Love your baby things! Having no babies of my own anymore, I am happy to be looking over patterns for a friend's grandbaby due in December. Just love knitting tiny things...!ReplyDelete
Love those rainbow socks!ReplyDelete
I'm reading "Remembering the Bones" but it's slightly depressing me in my third trimester. I think I'll follow your lead and re-read my Jane Austen books!ReplyDelete
I'm also on a pre-1900's kick! I've been reading about the frontier and the first people to inhabit it (in historical fiction, anyway). It's amazing! What a tough but romantic-sounding life.ReplyDelete
Love your projects. Knitting for babies is so much fun, and I love that Aviatrix Cap. Those rainbow socks are fabulous too, I love the colours.ReplyDelete
Squeal! I love, love, love your baby knits (sigh...) AND your rainbow socks. You want to know something, I started knitting a little something for a certain little winter baby when I ran into some completely unwelcome misgivings about the yarn because it was a bit darker than typical for baby things. But now I see YOUR gorgeous knits, and aside from feeling slightly intimidated-but-mostly-inspired, I am now TOTALLY reassured that the yarn is just fine. Okay, so - how many weeks do I have to get the project done? :-)ReplyDelete
The nesting begins! Blessings to you and your family.ReplyDelete
Watch out with Downton Abbey. It is like crack and runs out far too fast. I became addicted in the early spring and watched all the episodes way too quickly and then, bang, there were no more. I was left searching the web for hints of things to come.ReplyDelete
This space is a creative outlet for a busy mama; I warmly embrace your comments and feedback, as well as questions/requests for details. I do check them daily and will respond where appropriate! Thank you for visiting the Knitty Gritty Homestead!

Valley Roadrunner | Photo: Pauma Chairman Chris Devers, left, accompanies several tribal members at the Tribal Nations Conference.
WASHINGTON — Local tribal leaders attended President Obama's White House Tribal Nations Conference last week.
They included Pauma Tribal Chairman Chris Devers, San Pasqual Chairman Allen Lawson and Rincon council members Steve Stallings and Gilbert Parada. ?Chairman Devers, accompanied by several tribal members, was one of only a handful of tribal leaders that was able to speak last week.
Tribal representatives attended the meetings, as well as the opening of the American Indian Embassy in D.C., which symbolizes and recognizes the tribes as sovereign nations, but also accommodates the constant interaction tribes must have with congress on bills to ensure they aren't left out or are written in in ways that they feel are harmful.
On Thursday, President Obama spoke to the conference, which provided leaders from the 564 federally recognized tribes the opportunity to interact directly with the President and representatives from the highest levels of his Administration.

Melissa Gorga's 'Rockstar': Listen to Her New Tune!
The NJ Housewife wants you to "have a real good time tonight."
Are you ready for Melissa Gorga to take over your summer soundtrack?
The Real Housewives of New Jersey songstress has hit the airwaves once again, and while there's been some snippets of her new song "Rockstar" here and there -- even teased in last night's RHONJ episode -- we've got it for you to crank all day long.
The club jam is basically a big old request for you and whoever you're with to turn it out, y'know, like a rock star and have a good time. It's a departure from her last big single, the Joe Gorga-admiring ballad "How Many Times," which also debuted on the show.
Melissa was pumped about the song's reveal to the world, saying on Twitter:
So what do you think of "Rockstar?" Drop your review in the comments below!

Nats don't hold power: Costello
Treasurer Peter Costello has rejected a claim by the Nationals' Senate leader Ron Boswell that his party will control the balance of power in the Senate.
The Nationals' Barnaby Joyce secured a Queensland Senate seat which handed the coalition a majority in the upper house, with Senator Boswell saying the win would give the party more clout in party room discussions.
Upon Mr Joyce's victory, Senator Boswell said that, as leader of The Nationals in the Senate, he welcomed "the prospect of controlling the balance of power in the Senate".
Mr Costello said Senator Boswell was simply making the most of his moment in the sun.
"Reading the newspapers or listening to the media you'd think one Queensland National had single-handedly won control of the Senate," Mr Costello told ABC radio.
"The reality is that you've got about 34 Liberals and about four Nationals, something like that, so that any one of those people could say that it was their election that led to the majority.
"It's never one person."
Mr Costello also said the delivery of 28,000 protest votes from the Fishing Party to The Nationals in the Queensland Senate battle would not sway the government from its plans to protect the Great Barrier Reef.
Earlier this year, the federal government introduced laws which included fishing bans on more than a third of the reef.
The Fishing Party stitched up a preference deal with the Nationals on the understanding there would be a review of the decision, but Mr Costello said any future changes were unlikely.
"We have announced protection of the reef and as part of that there are areas where fishing is not allowed and other areas where other licences have been bought back and we are paying compensation to those fishermen," he said.
"Now you can always argue at the margin where the zones should be, but the deal is a deal that we've entered into to protect that wonderful asset.
"We won't be reopening the deal as a whole."

The ideal business proposal is expected to be innovative, technology-based, viable and should provide a solution to a challenge in the agriculture value chain.
Team Shelta
Some of the new business concepts seek to control pest, improve soil quality, link farmers to finance as well as provide them with vital information.
The Kosmos Innovation Centre says the eight successful teams were selected because they presented the "most scalable, practical and innovative business concepts".
Team Soil Solution
The surviving groups will now have a final opportunity to justify why Kosmos Energy and its partners should invest in their business ideas during the last round of the challenge expected to be held in September.
At this competitive pitch event, the teams will be expected to present a Minimum Viable Product, (MVP).
Team QuideX
"The objective of this is to ensure that the entrepreneurs have viable prototypes of their products ready so that they can be tested out by potential future users, customers and investors," said Ruth A. Adashie, Communications Manager of Kosmos Energy Ghana.
"This element was added to the programme structure in 2017 and has proved to be very useful, giving teams the opportunity to really validate their products before the final pitch," she added.
Team Profish (Lojaanor)
The second competitive pitching event held in June attracted Ghanaian and international companies and institutions such as Puma Energy, OCP Africa, Ministry of Food and Agriculture, RMG-Ghana, YARA, KOICA-Ghana as well as the Netherlands Embassy.
Premium Bank of Ghana and the Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology (MEST) have been supporting the AgriTech Challenge since 2017.
Team Farm Cure
But Kosmos Energy wants more corporate organisations onboard to support its quest to provide job opportunities to Ghana's teeming unemployed youth.
Team AgroSol
"Together we can drive sustainable innovation in the agriculture sector and contribute to tackling Ghana's youth unemployment challenge. By empowering one entrepreneur at a time, we are investing in a brighter future," said Joe Mensah, VP and Country Manager for Kosmos Ghana.
Team Growth Factor
The AgriTech Challenge is in its third year and has so far provided seed funding for six start-ups. The Challenge encourages young entrepreneurs to identify and take advantage of the many business opportunities in the agriculture value chain.

I don't believe I've ever had so much fun in the garden as I am this year trying to figure out what kind of tomato is ripening. I started 10 seeds from a variety pack of heirloom tomato seeds this spring and they are now producing the most beautiful fruit I think I've ever seen. My parents are SUCH traditionalists and only like the red ones, but the unique and rare (I'm discovering) tomatoes are truly unusual. Thanks to FEDCO seeds, a coop seed group that ONLY sells organic seeds and adamantly opposes any genetic modification or hybrids, I have some beautiful tomatoes this year. Perhaps the most unique is the Peach tomato. They are a small tomato, slightly larger than a cherry tomato, reaching top weights of 2 ounces. Aside from the skin resembling a fuzzy peach, its the flavor that is unusual. It's tomatoey, with a fruity sweetness - very unusual. Then there's the Black Krim tomato. When sliced, this guy has blackish stripes at the seed area. My husband says it looks rotted...but obviously its not. The flavor is more traditional on this one -- its definitely the coloring that is an attention getter. The size is typical -- maybe 6-8 ounces each, with traditional shaping. The striped tomatoes are interesting too. It took me a long time to find the variety name, but I'm fairly certain its called a Striped Roman. At first I searched for striped tomatoes, then I searched for Roma (paste) tomatoes, and I come to discover this one belongs in a class called "sausage" tomatoes. Yup, they are long like sausages and we were joking at work about what else they look like. Its a heavier fruit, with paste-like qualities - very firm - and good for canning. Although I enjoy looking at them so much (I sit tomatoes in a bowl on the table for decoration) its hard to actually do something with them. Lastly, one of the last plants most noteworthy, produces huge orange 1.5 pounders. I believe they are a variety called Amana Orange. These puppies are humongous and would consume a piece of bread easily. I took about a dozen to work and they were gone in no time. I also have an ox heart tomato that is the best for canning, and two orange plum tomatoes which to be honest, I pulled one of the plants because there's just not much you can do with a small, orange plum tomato. The flavor was mediocre, and they can horribly (nothing like traditional red in the jar). There's also a traditional size and flavor orange and red tomato. I didn't have a chance to look them up -- they are too average! Fun stuff.
Retired. Living simply and frugally. Eating healthy, home-grown, local organic food. Avoiding GMOs, processed, packaged, and shipped foods to be more kind to mother earth. Gardening is my passion.

Tomatoes, Tomatoes, and more Tomatoes -all Heirloom and all Organic
This year, I did something different -- I took a chance and started 10 plants of certified organic heirloom tomatoes from a variety pack. I had no idea what I was getting -- that's the different part. Typically, we all know exactly what tomatoes we like best and grow ONLY that variety. For years, I was an Early Girl fan, but this year has changed that. My 10 plants started ripening about 3 weeks ago with the first being a BLACK KRIM which I'll talk about in another post (very unusual), but shortly after that was the red oxheart (can't identify the variety), and a red striped large paste (can't identify it either, but its unusual), and two separate varieties of orange paste tomatoes. This weekend I was forced to can some of them -- there was simply too many to eat and share; and the whole idea of growing so many WAS to can, so I did the deed and got 5 jars of organic tomatoes for this winter's dishes. Canning is a dying hobby and I'm SO glad my mother shared her skill with me. I started canning about 14 years ago, but found it a ton of work and sorta got out of it until recently. I have to admit, its much easier to pick a can off the shelf, but there's a certain satisfaction to opening your jar of tomatoes knowing everything about the contents -- organic, the variety, where it was grown, etc. To me, that makes it all worthwhile. My 5 jars took me a total of about 3 hours to pick, scald the skins, cut up and stew a little, sterilize the jars themselves/lids/rings, fill the jars and seal. Yes, I'm a bad girl... I don't hot water bath or pressure cook my tomatoes. The acidity helps fight off bacteria in tomatoes and I've never had a problem with spoilage. Although all the nutritionists would tell me otherwise and recommend NOT doing the open kettle method. I'll do a post on each variety of tomatoes a little later. First up will be the PEACH TOMATO! Very novel.

Success -- Milkweed at the Front Door
The Annual Onion Harvest
For the 15th year, the onions have done their thing and blessed us with a plentiful harvest. Each year after a season of growing, I fret over the timing to pull, cure, and store the onions. Mother nature and working with her has everything to do with whether or not you'll keep all those nice, dry onions you pulled, or whether they'll succumb to rotting because they either weren't quite ready, were left in the ground too long and started to resprout, or weren't cured properly. The shriveled, dried tops is the first sign they are ready. They are then pulled and left to dry in the garden a day or two (my best luck was laying them on straw bails), then moved under acovered porch for about two weeks to cure. In the past, I've let them cure for as much as a month and end up storing them when fall comes. My best season for keepers were years we had drought. And obviously opposite from that, wet years produced several rotters. This year appears half and half unless my dear hubby succeeds in finding the perfect spot to cure the o's. He's quite concerned about them -- even the night dew they attract under a covered porch has him worried they'll rot from moisture (he moved them twice now!) I'm not as worried - I've never lost more than half and with the amount of onions in the ground (over 300), keeping half is fine by me. Christmas dinner usually sees the final onions from a summer harvest - those are good keepers if you ask me! I grow them mainly for my mom and she doesn't mind that I plant seedlings, but her preference is sets. Having grown both, I'd have to admit the sets produced better keepers.

Another "Weed" Beneficial to Your Garden
If you have them, don't pull them! Queen Anne's Lace, better known as Wild Carrot is a member of the parsley family and not shy about about attracting beneficial insects. Hoverflies, ladybugs and lacewings feed off of the Wild Carrot and they love to eat the bad bugs hanging around your garden. Several years ago, I planted a wildflower meadow and the plant that thrived is the wild carrot. At first I was dissappointed, but when I saw the plethora of bugs hanging on them, I knew they couldn't be all bad - and they aren't. Being a member of the parsley member gives this plant a real boost up the scale of good "weeds."

Milkweed in the Garden
Like most people, for years I thought of milkweed as just that -- a weed. It wasn't until I became a little more educated on plants, bugs, and butterflies and how they all work together as a team that I come to the realization that many "weeds" can be perfect garden plants. The milkweed a good example -- a monarch butterfly can't live without milkweed, so why not grow it? Its certainly easy enough to grow -- why not in the garden? One thing you need for it is space. There are some varieties that stay semi-compact such as the popular orange butterfly weed (asclepias tuberosa) which stays between 1.5 and 2 feet tall in a fairly nice mound. Then there's the classic common milkweed which is the familiar site along most roadways. There are actually over 100 varieties of milkweeds, each with varied growing habits - some getting as tall as 6 feet (in the picture above near my front door!) with colorful flowers in orange, yellow, pink, or white. The scent of the flowers are incredible too attracting bees and nectar loving creatures to your garden. Its also an interesting plant to get kids involved in gardening and nature. This cool Wisconsin state website called EEK (Environmental Education for Kids) provides facts about the plant and nature that kids will find fascinating (adults will too!). Milkweed is part of the arsenal of native plants that every organic gardener should have in their garden.

With the 2016 football season in the books and the Palm Beach Post All-Area teams out, we thought it would be a good idea to let Palm Beach County football fans pick who they thought was the best player at each position this year.
Each weekday for these two weeks, we'll narrow the selections down to who we think were five of the top players at each position this past season, and from there, you choose who you believe was the best.
You can vote for the best quarterback here, the best running back here, the best wide receiver here and the best offensive lineman here.
[For more on the top players in Palm Beach County, check out the Palm Beach Post's Big Board]
Today, to end the week, you can pick the top athlete in the county. These players did not adhere to one position, playing all over the field and making it difficult to pick one position where they stood out.
Quantino Allen, Glades Central, Sr.: Allen had plenty of opportunities to run and catch the ball this season. The Oregon State commit finished the season with 499 receiving yards and six touchdowns, and also rushed for 213 yards and two touchdowns. He was a first-team All-Area pick.
Jalen Kinder, American Heritage, Sr.: Kinder, who transferred from Park Vista before the season, finished the season with 1,675 all purpose yards and 4 touchdowns. He was a second-team All-Area pick.
Josh Powell, Suncoast, Sr.: Powell quietly racked up stats for the Chargers this year. On offense, the senior rushed for 813 yards and nine touchdowns, while reeling in two touchdown catches and 315 receiving yards. On defense, Powell excelled at linebacker, making 113 tackles, forcing four fumbles and intercepting three passes. He was a second-team All-Area pick.
Sage Chen-Young, Wellington, Sr.: Chen-Young had a dominant season for the Wolverines this year. He was the team's No. 2 receiver, bringing in 46 catches for 850 yards and seven touchdowns. At defensive back, he made 44 tackles, deflected seven passes, had five interceptions and scored one touchdown.
Marquis Waters, Atlantic, Sr.: Waters, a Duke early enrollee, excelled after transferring to Atlantic from Village Academy. Playing defensive back and running back, Waters scored several key playoff touchdowns.

Fliccius, Gerbarus (DNB00)
FLICCIUS or FLICCUS, GERBARUS, GERLACHUS or GERBICUS (fl. 1546-1554), a native of Germany, was the painter of the interesting portrait of Archbishop Cranmer which was presented to the British Museum in 1776 by John Michell, M.P., of Bayfield Hall, Norfolk, and in June 1879 was transferred to the National Portrait Gallery. This portrait was painted in 1546, when the archbishop was fifty-seven years of age, and shows Cranmer without the long white beard which he suffered to grow after Henry VIII's death in the following year. The picture is signed 'Gerbarus Fliccus Germanicus faciebat.' It has been frequently engraved, viz. in Thoroton's 'History of Nottinghamshire' (1677), Strype's 'Memorials of Cranmer,' Lodge's 'Illustrious Portraits,' and other works. Other portraits from the hand of the same painter have been noted, viz. 'Thomas, first Lord Darcy of Chiche' (painted in 1551), at Irnham in Lincolnshire; 'James, second Earl of Douglas and Mar' (painted in 1547), at Newbattle Abbey, East Lothian; and others. The last-named portrait, which is probably a copy of an older one, as the earl was killed at Otterbourne in 1388, is stated to be signed 'Gerbicus Flicciis Germanicus faciebat ætatis 40.' A curious double portrait was offered for sale at Christie's auction-rooms on 25 July 1881; it contained two small portraits of the painter and a friend , named Strangways, who were fellow-prisoners in London at the time (1554) when it was painted, and the painting was executed in prison, according to the inscriptions. This picture was then in the possession of Robert de Ruffiero, Belsize Park Road, and had formerly belonged to Dr. Edward Monkhouse, F.S.A. All these portraits are painted in the style of Lucas Cranach, the great Lutheran painter of Saxony, and this, taken with the date of imprisonment and the painter's connection with Cranmer, would point to his being one of the victims of the religious persecutions of Queen Mary's reign and himself an ardent protestant.[J. G. Nichols, in Archæologia, xxxix. 25; Cat. of the National Portrait Gallery, 1888; information from G. Scharf, C.B., F.S.A.]

That Eerie Green Glow
NOW THAT greenhouse gases are the pollutants to fear, nuclear power may be making a comeback; British Petroleum's failings in Prudhoe Bay, revealed last week, only enhance the attractiveness of alternatives to oil. But as the nation rushes back to the future by embracing atomic energy, the industry and government have to solve one little problem left over from the past: how to deal with nuclear waste.
Energy Secretary Samuel W. Bodman recently announced that his agency would provide $2 billion in federal risk insurance to companies applying to build nuclear power plants. It's part of a package of government incentives designed to encourage the building of the country's first nuclear reactors since the 1970s. The Energy Department aims to insure at least six new power plants, and 19 companies have announced they will seek licenses to build nuclear power stations, according to Per F. Peterson, a professor of nuclear engineering at the University of California at Berkeley.
Nuclear power can produce electricity without generating the greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. Industry spokesmen claim nuclear power plants can do so cheaply and efficiently, even taking subsidies into account, and, if properly monitored, safely; Chernobyl-style accidents can be avoided. Given the environmental and geopolitical disadvantages of dependence on oil, gas and coal, these arguments are persuasive.
But the Energy Department must prove early on that it has a politically and technically viable plan for storing the deadly radioactive waste that nuclear power plants produce. That has been a smoldering problem for the agency, which for years has tried to build a permanent waste storage site inside Nevada's Yucca Mountain. All the while, nuclear waste continues to pile up on sites next to reactors, in many cases close to population centers.
The Energy Department's current plan is to open the Yucca Mountain facility by 2017, ready to take the waste the new power plants will create. But construction at Yucca isn't fully authorized yet. The department has encountered stiff political and legal opposition in Nevada, and faulty scientific reviews of the site have also delayed the building. Who knows what kinds of problems construction will bring? The Yucca storage site is still the safest long-term solution to America's nuclear-waste problem. But given the project's history of delay, we're not counting on it opening on time. Neither should the federal government.
The Energy Department's assistant secretary for nuclear energy, Dennis Spurgeon, says the agency has contingency plans. If it begins its program to reprocess spent nuclear fuel in time -- and that seems unlikely -- nuclear waste can go to reprocessing sites. If that doesn't work, the government has two options: It can keep waste at reactor sites longer than would be ideal, or it can build secure and isolated interim storage sites. The first option shouldn't be on the table; utilities legally are not -- and should not be -- responsible for storing radioactive sludge longer than the few years it takes for it to cool, especially when many of the plants are close to cities. The second option sounds more promising, but as of now the Energy Department doesn't have the authority to conduct interim storage of nuclear waste itself -- that would take an act of Congress.
The federal government needs a foolproof plan to dispose properly of the waste. Otherwise, Americans won't have confidence in nuclear power.

An Islamic religious education centre with prayer facilities and a car park could open in Healey if proposals are approved by council planners.
Healey Islamic Trust has agreed to buy the Healey Mills Complex for £450,000 and has applied to change the use of the site from commercial units to religious facilities.
Currently there are no facilities in Healey which results in residents having to drive to other areas.
But objectors have raised concerns that the proposals would mean that seven small businesses, which currently lease the Healey Lane site, would be forced to close.
A report to Kirklees Council's Heavy Woollen planning sub-committee on Friday recommends the proposals be conditionally approved.
Shakir Passwala, secretary of Healey Islamic Trust, said: "Currently there are no facilities within the Healey area which results in residents having to drive to other areas.
"We will only be use two of the units, we've spoken to tenants already and the other leases will continue."
A petition objecting to the plans with 78 signatures has been submitted to the council.
But another petition, in support of the application, was backed by 168 people.
The trust has also applied to convert the current hand car wash at the complex into a car park for the centre.
A report to the planning sub-committee said the current car wash on the site was "busy, noisy and untidy" and that the plans would improve living conditions and highway safety for residents.
Objectors also raised concerns that the trust planned to carry out a "second phase" as part of the plans, where it would demolish the site in the future and build a mosque.
But Mr Passwala said plans for a mosque related to a previous project in 2013. He said the cash to buy the site will be raised by the community and if the plans are approved, the trust hopes to complete the purchase within six months.
Healey Islamic Trust has suggested the proposed religious education centre and prayer facilities will bring the following benefits to the area:
• A reduction in traffic at other mosques in Batley at peak times because there are currently no Islamic prayer facilities in Healey.
• A positive impact on the environment as most people will cycle or walk to the centre.
• Develop interfaith relations and activities in the area
• Promote community cohesion and integration in Healey among children and adults.

The Mission of Gujja Ting African Art (GTAA) is to empower the youth living in the slums of Uganda by raising their personal expectations and providing them with a real chance to succeed in life. This is done through creative workshops offered at the local "house" maintained for this purpose, a school fees program, and family mentality.
How this is accomplished:
GTAA's "house" in Nabulagala, Uganda (outside Kampala) is a safe haven for the youth of that neighborhood. While at the house, they can participate in workshops and express themselves in creative ways. Multiple art and dance workshops occur regularly each week at this house. These workshops include traditional African dance, contemporary dance, tap dance, and break dancing in addition to painting, crochet, paper bead making, screen-printing, and hairdressing. GTAA is open to those youth who want to use their creativity and participate in new kinds of art and workshops whenever possible. We want to be able to allow these enthusiastic youth to use every inch of imagination that is in their heads and hearts. Additionally, a Kids' Program as well as a Girls' Program are offered each Sunday.
Our youth gain pride in themselves when they are able to try something new and succeed. GTAA takes this feeling one step further by selling some of the artwork the youth have made and raising funds for the organization. The pride they take from the beautiful pieces they make is second only to seeing how successful they can be in life and the feeling of empowerment they achieve by knowing that they can do whatever they set out to do.

LOS ANGELES, March 24, 2016 - Inspiring autism drama 'Po', directed by John Asher, will begin its film festival tour during National Autism Awareness Month with a free "blue carpet" public Awareness Screening at the Paramount Theater on April 5th. The screening will be hosted by Asher and the film's stars Christopher Gorham (Covert Affairs, Ugly Betty), Kaitlin Doubleday (Empire), and newcomer Julian Feder (Weiner Dog franchise), along with legendary composer Burt Bacharach, who scored the project.
Based on a true story, 'Po' is about David Wilson (Gorham), a single dad with the sole responsibility of caring for his sixth grade son with autism after his young wife falls victim to cancer. Patrick, who prefers to be called Po (Feder), is a gifted but challenged child who is unable to communicate his own sense of loss. As father and son struggle to deal with life after Mom, they each begin to withdraw into their own worlds. David is overwhelmed by a high pressure job he is close to losing, while Po escapes being bullied and other tough moments by drifting into his magical fantasy world where he is just a typical carefree boy with a rich cast of other worldly companions. The growing divide between father and son and the mounting challenges of single parenthood of a special needs child threaten to separate David and Po permanently. Amy (Doubleday), Po's caring therapist plays a critical role in keeping the family together where the bonds of love are tested in the most real way.
The cast also includes Bryan Batt (Mad Men), Sean Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy), Fay Masterson (Fifty Shades Darker), Jud Tylor (Charlie Wilson's War), Caitlin Carmichael (300: Rise of an Empire), Brian George (The Big Bang Theory) and Tammy Dahlstrom (Silicon Valley) in this original script penned by Colin Goldman, from a story that Goldman and Steve C. Roberts developed.
John Asher, whose own son has autism adds, "I am so grateful that festivals of this elite level, which are truly focused on independent films, have recognized the importance of our movie and its message."
Burt Bacharach who scored the movie and had a daughter with Asperger's Syndrome explains, "I was so touched by the film that scoring it was a labor of love."
'Po' begins its festival tour with its WORLD PREMIERE at the Panama International Film Festival on April 10th, NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE at the Palm Beach International Film Festival April 11th, WorldFest Houston April 16th, Newport Beach Film Festival honoring Burt Bacharach April 23rd, Arizona International Film Festival, and closing night film of Albuquerque Film and Music Experience on April 24th.
The film is produced by LOFC Production, LLC.
'Po' - Awareness Screening

Wildcats wrap up regular season
The Center-Stanton boys' basketball team started off last week with a close win but couldn't hold their momentum for the rest of the week and lost two games, ending the regular season 6-13. The Wildcats lost to Hazen and Flasher on back-to-back nights.
After beating Underwood by two points 44-42, the Wildcats knew the rest of the week was going to be a tougher challenge. Underwood only won two games all season long and both games were against Max, another team with only two victories on the season.
