WORCESTER — A Gardner man who was being held without bail on charges in connection with a June 21 shooting death of a Fitchburg man pleaded not guilty Thursday in Worcester Superior Court on charges related to possession of an illegal drug while imprisoned.
Dax A. Gibson, 36, of 365 Elm St., Gardner, was arraigned through a partly open doorway to the courtroom. He pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy, attempt to commit a crime, and being an inmate in possession of drugs.
His bail was set at $50,000.
His lawyer, Jeffrey S. Brown, from Fierst, Kane and Bloomberg of Northampton, requested that his client remain out of the courtroom because of an "identification issue," he said.
Mr. Brown took over as Mr. Gibson's lawyer after his previous lawyer, Daniel W. Cronin, asked to be removed from the case because, he said, he may have to testify against his own client.
According to court documents, on Oct. 9, the jail received a manila envelope addressed to Mr. Gibson with a return address from Mr. Cronin that contained three packets of powder, one of which tested positive as oxycodone. When called by a detective, Mr. Cronin said the envelope did not originate from the Cronin law firm, court documents said.
Mr. Gibson was being held without bail on charges in connection with the June 21 shooting death of 26-year-old Luis R. Rodriguez, who investigators say was shot in his 82 Marshall St., Fitchburg, apartment and then fled to a neighbor's porch, where he was found bleeding.
He was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead a short time later. His killing was allegedly over drugs and money, according to court documents.
Mr. Gibson was indicted by a grand jury in August on charges of murder, home invasion, armed assault in a dwelling, kidnapping, armed assault with intent to rob, threatening and firearm charges, and his case was moved to Worcester Superior Court.
Mr. Gibson and his girlfriend, Ashley Fruguglietti, 25, also of 365 Elm St., Gardner, were arrested July 25 in Richmond, Va., and were returned to Massachusetts to face the charges against them.
Ms. Fruguglietti pleaded not guilty Aug. 1 in Worcester Superior Court to charges of being an accessory, after the fact, to murder and to misleading law enforcement.
Bail for Ms. Fruguglietti was set at $100,000 cash.
Authorities said the couple's infant son was with them at the time of their arrest. Virginia social services took custody of the child.
Dinkue Brown, 27, of 33 Adams St., Fitchburg has also been charged with murder in the slaying of Mr. Rodriguez. He had also fled the state and was later arrested in Indiana.
In court documents, it is alleged that Mr. Brown would pay Fitchburg resident Michele Kelley to drive him around to conduct "drug drops," and would compensate her with gas money, food and crack cocaine.
On June 21, Ms. Kelley and Mr. Gibson were out doing drug deals in her 2005 Toyota Sequoia in Fitchburg with her 20-month-old son and friend Jenna Kearchner sitting in the back seat, court documents said.
During the "drug drops," Mr. Brown received several calls from friends saying that Mr. Rodriguez was publicly slighting him, saying he owed him money and making him look bad, court documents said.
Mr. Brown then called his son's mother, Gihan Alcantara, and repeated, "I need my gun ... I need it now," court documents said.
He later said, "Forget it. I'm going to rob that (racial slur)," and called Mr. Gibson to help him rob Mr. Rodriguez of drugs and money, court documents said.
Ms. Kelley then drove to Mr. Gibson's apartment in Gardner, and he came out with a duffel bag full of guns and knives, court documents said.
Mr. Gibson told to him how to get inside Mr. Rodriguez's apartment and described the layout of his apartment, court documents said.
Mr. Gibson enlisted Ms. Kelley's help by keeping her baby and Ms. Kearchner hostage in a Hartwell Street apartment in Fitchburg, court documents said.
Ms. Kelley also claimed Mr. Brown kept a gun pointed to her head the whole time, court documents said.
When they arrived at Mr. Rodriguez's apartment building, Mr. Gibson allegedly went in with a knife belt and two guns and with a black T-shirt covering his head, court documents said.
Ms. Kelley said she heard three gunshots 30 seconds later and then saw a "skinny black man running out of the building" and diving into the neighbor's bushes, court documents said.
Mr. Gibson was bleeding profusely from his hand, and Ms. Kelley said he was "freaking out" and worried that his DNA had been left in the apartment, court documents said.
She said Mr. Gibson said he had shot Mr. Rodriguez twice in the head and once in the chest, court documents said.
Ms. Kelley said Mr. Brown ordered her to drive off and the men later stashed the weapons in Tiffany J. Phillinger's Mechanic Street apartment, where Mr. Gibson cleaned up and changed, court documents said.
Ms. Kelley cleaned up the back seat of the car and threw the bloody napkins and black T-shirt into the bushes, court documents said.
Later that night, Ms. Kelley said, she went back out to conduct about 20 drug deals with Mr. Brown so everything would seem "normal," court documents said.
Three others have also been charged in the case. Gihan M. Alcantara, 30, of 23 Chester St., Fitchburg, is charged with witness intimidation and carrying a firearm without a license. Ta-lia Johnson, 20, of 33 Adams St., Fitchburg, is charged with witness intimidation, and Tiffany J. Phillinger, 32, of 137 Mechanic St., Fitchburg, is charged with being an accessory, after the fact, to murder and being an accessory, after the fact, to robbery.
Their cases are pending in the Fitchburg court.

In a number of posts over the past several years, I've explored various ways to make a countably infinite fair lottery machine (assuming causal finitism is false), typically using supertasks in some way.
Here's another, slightly simplified from a construction in Norton. Suppose we toss a countably infinite number of fair coins to make an array with infinitely many infinite rows that could look like this:
Make sure that nobody looks at the coins after they are tossed. Here's something that could happen: each row of the array contains one and only one tails. This is unlikely (probability zero; Norton originally said it's nonmeasurable, but that was a mistake, and we're coauthoring a correction to his paper) but possible. Have a robot scan the array—a supertask will be needed—to verify whether this unlikely event has happened. If not, we have failed to make the machine. But if yes, our array will look relevantly like:
Continue making sure nobody looks at the coins. Put a robot at the beginning of the first row. Now, you have an countably infinite fair lottery machine that you can use over and over. To use it, just tell the robot to scan the row it's at, announce the position of the lone tails, and move to the beginning of the next row. Applied to the above array, you will get the sequence of results 3,6,3,….
Of course, it's very unlikely that we will succeed in making the machine (the probability is zero). But we might. And once we do, we can run as many paradoxes of infinity as we like. And we might even find ourselves lucky enough to be in a universe where some natural random process has already generated such a lucky array, in which case we don't even have to flip the coins.
Once we have the machine, we can have lots of fun with it. For instance, it seems antecedently really unlikely that the first hundred times you run the machine, the numbers you get will be in increasing order. But no matter how many numbers you've pulled from the machine, you are all but certain that the next number will be bigger than any of them.

Fleetwood boss Uwe Rosler says the pressure is on Karl Robinson and his Charlton team tomorrow.
Town will make their first league visit to The Valley and Rosler is looking forward to testing his wits against his pal Robinson.
Rosler says Charlton, along with Bolton and Sheffield United, have beaten his club to players over the last two transfer windows, with Robinson recently bringing in striker Stephy Mavididi and winger Nathan Byrne on loan from Arsenal and Wigan.
Rosler stressed the pressure is on the three big-budget clubs. He said: "Karl is a good friend of mine. We support each other and I also hope Charlton realise what a diamond they have got now.
"They had a very good manager in Russell Slade, who is also a good friend of mine, and now they have a very good manager and I hope they give him time to bring the club up.
"They have won three of their last five games and have two games in hand on us. They are a little bit under the radar.
"But as much as I like Karl, he can't deny that clubs like Charlton, Bolton, Sheffield United have to be in the top six. Anything else is a disaster for those clubs.
"In the summer transfer window, we lost a player who was sitting in my office to Sheffield United. We lost a player in this window to Bolton and one who was sitting in my office to Charlton – but we still got our transfer targets done.
"But that shows what we are up against – three clubs who are massive, in stature, the history, the budgets. It will be very difficult for Karl to deny that.
"I know he will try to surprise me and I will try to surprise him, but in the end it is always about the players.
"Going to The Valley is a fantastic experience for us as Fleetwood Town. People are taking us more seriously and try to stop us, but it is more about us, how we address the game and how fresh we are.
"How you come out of the blocks is important at Charlton. When we start well, I think the big pitch will suit us.
"They still attract top players in our league. They sold Ademola Lookman (to Everton) for £7.5m, plus add ons to £10m, so they had fresh capital to invest. We are not playing against an average team – we are playing against a top team."

Of course we do! We are Team TNT
After doubting Tom Tom we headed to a gas station to get a map and figure out how to get to Greece, there was however no Greece on the maps. Only a country called Yunanistan that we after a while figured out was the Turkish name for Greece. Then this nice man gave us a 20 min escort through the smallest roads ever( same as Tom Tom suggested) to the closest boarder crossing know to man kind! We did not complain, you dont do Gumball 3000 (and drive all the way back) to make your life easy, you do it couse you like adventures, this one will for sure be one to remember!
About to arrive to Italy after a night on a ferry, feel amazing to almost be home, just a quick little 2200km drive to go! (more then double the longest leg of Gumball) The GT-R with Leif and Warner goes straight to Folgefonna, me and Oscar will swing by Sthlm to pick up Warners skis and then fly over Bergen and Fonna!
Team TNT, never surrender, never give up! And most importantly, never stop smiling no matter how f-ed you think you are!

98 votes. That's all that separates leader Roach from Edmonds as County Council count continues.
The election night lead Pierce County Council candidate Carolyn Edmonds had over state Sen. Pam Roach disappeared in the latest round of election results released Friday night.
Roach, a Republican from Sumner, is now 98 votes ahead of Edmonds with 59 percent of the ballots counted countywide. There is a .24 percent difference in the votes cast for both candidates.
Edmonds, a Democrat from Tacoma, was 16 votes ahead following Thursday's count.
An automatic hand recount is required if the difference remains less than 150 votes and less than .25 percent of votes cast for both candidates, according to the Pierce County Auditor's Office.
Edmonds led Roach on election night by 922 votes. That lead continued to shrink as more ballots were counted.
In other races, County Council Chairman Doug Richardson, R-Lakewood, increased his lead over Democratic challenger Linda Farmer, also from Lakewood.
Richardson now leads Farmer by 475 votes — the largest lead he's had so far.

Picks Of The Week – January 22, 2008
Matt is back with this week's picks. Congrats to Matt and his wife on the birth of their first child, a healthy baby boy. But not even the birth of his son could stop Matt from making this weeks picks, so here he is with the picks. As always, have fun with these, these are not gambling picks, just picks for the fun of it.
mjgreg's GAMBLOG
featuring our picks of the week
NBA Edition
Phoenix Suns (30 – 12) vs Cleveland Cavaliers (23-18)
Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland, OH
Friday, January 25, 2008
Back on November 4th, the Phoenix Suns beat the Cleveland Cavaliers by 11 points in the desert. However, you have to remember that was the third game of the season and the Cavs were without the services of Anderson Varejao. The Cavaliers come into this game riding a 5 game winning streak (their longest of the season), while the Suns coming off of a loss have only lost back to back games twice this season. The key for both teams is actually pretty simple. The Cavaliers need to slow down Steve Nash, and the Suns need to contain Lebron James. While the key is simple to recognize, it won't be nearly as easy to carry out on the hard wood. I see the Cavaliers of the last few weeks continuing to keep up their intensity on the defensive side of the ball and the Suns finding ways to exploit it. That being said, Lebron will keep this game close and give the Cavs a chance to make a run in the 4th quarter. I anticipate the spread being around minus five or six in favor of the Suns. This is a tough decision that I just can't seem to take my heart out of. I'll take the Cavs and the points, but will be pleasantly surprised if they pull out the victory.
Official prediction:
Phoenix Suns – 100
Cleveland Cavaliers – 96 (+6)
mjgreg's current record ATS is 2-0

Book Review:
The Gloria Anzaldúa Reader, Gloria E. Anzaldúa. AnaLouise Keating, ed. Duke University Press, January 2009.
The Gloria Anzaldúa Reader is one of many important texts recently published within Latino letters and Latino scholarship. Its significance is due to its emphasis on issues currently affecting Latinas/os in the United States. Born and raised in South Texas, Gloria E. Anzaldúa became and remains one of the leading feminist/philosopher/activist writers to describe and theorize the meaning of colonization, nationalism, identity, difference, and spirituality. In the late 1970s, her co-edited anthology This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color argued for an all-inclusive feminist and ethnic discourse. Her autobiography Borderlands: La Frontera: The New Mestiza, published in 1987, followed with an argument about challenging ways of thinking in order to achieve personal and communal transformation. Both her anthology and autobiography have since become and remain central texts in Chicana/o Studies, Feminist Studies, Cultural Studies, and Queer Theory.
Close friend and writing partner, AnaLouise Keating has posthumously anthologized a collection of Anzaldúa's unpublished writings as a reader that attempts to illuminate the wide range of Anzaldúa's thoughts about writing, spirituality, sexuality, gender, and race/ethnicity. A decade ago, Keating worked with Anzaldúa to publish a series of interviews titled Interviews/Entrevistas published by Routledge. Recently, Keating collaborated on another anthology with Anzaldúa titled This Bridge We Call Home: Radical Visions for Transformation. Keating's editorial decisions in The Gloria Anzaldúa Reader fulfill the attempt to expand Anzaldúa's commitment to social change by arguing for coalition building, politicizing art, and spiritual activism in a series of poems, essays, and visual sketches.
Anthologized for new readers and Anzaldúa scholars alike, Keating structures the reader to expand Anzaldúa's ideas about writing, spirituality, gender/race, and activism—which were also central topics in This Bridge and Borderlands. In Part 1 of The Gloria Anzaldúa Reader, for example, Keating presents poems, essays, and interviews written before the publication of This Bridge. This particular collection presents Anzaldúa's early commitment to challenge readers/writers to consider the spiritual aspects of writing and to think more closely about the interrelationship between spirituality, sexuality, and the body. Part 2 presents writings featuring Anzaldúa's more theoretical work about difference, identity, and coalition building. The essay titled "To(o) Queer the Writer—Loca—escritora y chicana" is a memorable essay that presents a deliberation about the challenges facing gay and lesbian writers with regard to re-thinking the meaning of sex, sexuality, writing and identity. Though previously published, Keating offers the essay as a means to argue Anzaldúa's important presence within Queer Theory—an area of inquiry which Keating believes had previously excluded Anzaldúa.
Another highlight, and newly published, is the essay titled "On the Process of Writing Borderlands/La Frontera" where Anzaldúa writes about the exigencies that prompted the writing of her 1987 autobiography. This is an important essay for new readers of Borderlands because it contextualizes much of the complexity of the autobiography. The essay should be significant to scholars who may argue that argumentative and textual gaps appear in her autobiographical text. This section is also important as it contains specific ideas about Anzaldúa's nationalist development of a "Mestiza Nation," which she considered a multicultural movement. This section and essay should definitely be of importance to activists and scholars interested in the creation of social movements.
Part 3 of the book continues to expand Anzaldúa's ideas by presenting a series of images, drawings, and sketches—all of which center her ideas about Nepantla, shapeshifting, border crossing, and identity re-construction—all of which are important elements in Anzaldúa's explanation of a "mestiza consciousness." This section emphasizes Anzaldúa's interest in visual images and art, which remained politicized and historical all throughout her life's written work. The last part of the reader contains writings that continue to be theoretical in nature and expand her vision about creating and sustaining social change. For example, she writes about the effects of 9/11 and its meaning for both personal and communal healing. She elaborates about the idea of fragmentation, injury, and reinforced racism while explaining such concepts as "conocimiento," which she defines as the creation of knowledge, experience, and interaction based on compassion. Keating includes a glossary of primary terms and concepts in order to help illuminate the complexity of these four important chronological sections. This glossary is followed by a thorough bibliography with new and previous sources that should be a solid beginning and continuation of Anzaldúan scholarship.
As a whole and as part of a wide range of Anzaldúa's previously published works, The Gloria Anzaldúa Reader is significant because it presents important ideas about (post)colonization, nationalism, difference, identity (re)construction, sexuality, and coalition-building—all of which continue relevant to Latinas/os living in the United States. The book is a strong introduction and important addition for social justice workers, writers, teachers, and academics. Keating's editing choices prove that Anzaldúa's ideas began and continued to be diverse, inclusive, theoretical, and political in nature. This text is an ideal read and classroom text that should continue the conversations about race/ethnicity, gender, and sex/sexuality within Cultural Studies, Chicana/o Studies, Feminist Studies and Queer Studies.

Originally published by Refinery29:
Last week, the group behind several secretly recorded videos of Planned Parenthood officials discussing fetal-tissue donation released a new one, this time including a technician for a laboratory that processes and provides fetal tissue to scientists. Pro-life people erupted in anger, vowing to defund the group once and for all, while pro-choice groups rallied to defend against the coordinated attack.
The long-standing battle has flared up again, and it's not the first — or the last — time abortion will be the center of controversy. But what about the stories beyond the headlines — the millions of women and men who experience abortion personally, as a real-life event rather than an abstract debate? All too often, their voices are drowned out by the heated rhetoric that dominates the abortion conversation.
The Guttmacher Institute estimates that one in three U.S. women will have an abortion in her life, and roughly 50% of pregnancies are unplanned. Women aren't having abortions to express their ideology — they have them because they need them. And while it might sound like heresy to some, some women — even those who consider themselves pro-choice — can have feelings of regret after their abortions, while some vehemently pro-life women have abortions, too.
Rather than pick one side or the other, I urge you to try something different: listening. Talk about your own reproductive experiences, from infertility to miscarriage to pregnancy to abortion — and listen to the people in your life talking about theirs. Here are some ideas on how.

(Adds quotes, context)
LONDON, May 16 (Reuters) - Britain said on Wednesday that U.S. sanctions against Iran were having a clear impact on other countries and were making it difficult for firms to assess the risks of doing business there.
U.S. President Donald Trump on May 8 withdrew from a deal between Iran and major world powers whereby some sanctions against Tehran were lifted in exchange for curbs on its nuclear programme. Trump has since imposed new sanctions, cutting Iran's use of a critical banking network.
"It is clear that there is extra-territorial reach to some of these sanctions," said Rona Fairhead, a trade department minister in the upper house of the British parliament, acknowledging that the sanctions would have an impact on trade between Iran and countries other than the United States.
"All businesses have to take into account the commercial risks, the legal risks, the financing risks of any transaction, and clearly these sanctions make that difficult," she said.
Fairhead said Britain was providing guidance on the ground in Iran and at home to help companies navigate those risks and was also working with other governments to keep trade ties alive.
"We are working with our EU colleagues and directly both with the U.S. and with the EU to try and both protect our businesses as well as encourage the U.S. to allow us to continue economic ties because we think that's important," she said.
British, French and German foreign ministers met in Brussels on Tuesday to see how they can save the nuclear deal without the United States, but appeared hard-pressed over how their companies could continue doing business with Iran once Washington begins to reimpose sanctions.

Le Farat, Auvillar – A Beautiful Location
You will find Le Farat nestled in an idyllic part of South West France. Birdsong is often the only sound you will hear and we are surrounded by the fantastic rolling countryside of the Tarn et Garonne Départment.
That said, you can stroll to the the nearby hamlet of Bardigues and enjoy the fantastic fayre on offer at the locally renowned Auberge de Bardigues (advanced booking required) or head into Auvillar (5 minutes by car) and enjoy the historic monuments, museums, shops and markets.
Auvillar, a medieval bastide village with its unusual circular corn exchange and impressive views over the Garonne valley, is listed as one of the Plus Beaux Villages de France. It is also an important stop on the famous pilgrims walking route through France "Le Chemin de Saint Jacques-de-Compostelle" or "Way of Saint James".
What Makes Auvillar Special?
Historically Auvillar was an important stronghold in the Gallo-Roman period and housed an affluent community. Evidence has been found to suggest that it was possibly rebuilt in the Middle Ages and its social and economic existence is clearly linked to the river Garonne.
Today the beautiful village of about 1,000 residents has many charming attractions with a weekly farmers market, local restaurants, and a variety of shops including a bakery, grocer, newsagent, post office, a chemist and local produce gift shop. There is even a hairdresser if the need takes you!
Events In Auvillar
In May the Spectacular Wine Festival takes centre stage in Auvillar. The celebrations for the 14 July Bastille Day are legendary and there are various other events throughout the year.
The weekly market in Auvillar will give you a taste of real French produce. We guarantee the food and wine you discover here will leave an imprint on your soul forever!
La Fête de St Noé
An un-missable wine festival held in the village. It dates back to the 19th century and is steeped in history, tradition and, of course, there is plenty of local wine on offer. You can get a flavour of what it's all about here or by having a quick look at this youtube clip.

In the early Middle Ages, to help prevent Catholic nuns from breaking their vowed celibacy, Saint Jerome forbid them to eat black beans. Lore had it that based on the way the legumes grew, they promoted fertility in women. And though the Law of Similarity is more anecdotal then verity black beans do contain the amino acid trypotphan, which relaxes the body and eases the mind from daily stress. Black beans grow nestled in a protective casing, resting like a child growing in its mother. Then, when large enough the bean emerges from it's pod, glistening black like a smooth pond on a moonless night. Thrown in the bottom of a large pot of water the bean appears smooth like pebbles washed ashore. Once cooked, it becomes palatably plump adding meatiness to any dish.
Possibly, women were getting pregnant after nights of eating black beans due to the legumes nutritional content more than its physical similarity to a woman with child. Black beans contain protein, fiber and folate. Even if these beans don't stir up strong feelings of desire in you, eat them for their protein. Unlike animal protein, beans digest quickly, so your body can take what its needs and continue at the task hand. I like to add garlic and cumin to black beans and serve along side eggs, rice, or corn tortillas then top with sour cream and avocado. Black beans can substitute oil in brownies, getting even the pickiest eater to devour this aphrodisiac. This month's recipe, Stuffed Ancho Chilies is a show stopper at the dinner table. I find that this dish finishes faster and more efficiently if two people are working on it. Serve these peppers as an hor d'oeuvre at parties, or along a side salad that is covered in a lime dressing.
Black Bean Stuffed Ancho Chili Peppers
- 8 ancho chili pepper (large at least 3 ounces)
- 15 oz. can tomatoes with juice (can stewed)
- 3/4 pound Yukon gold potatoes (or any yellow potatoes)
- 1 12 oz. can black beans
- 1/2 tsp. cumin
- 3/4 pound monterey jack cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Rinse chiles, then cover with cold water in a bowl and soak, weighted with a full tea pot, brick or large stone (to keep submerged), until completely rehydrated (most will turn a brighter red), about 8 hours. Do not drain chiles.
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Remove 1 chile from soaking liquid and, working over a bowl and sieve, cut a slit down one side with scissors and let interior liquid and loose seeds drain into sieve and bowl. Carefully cut out seedpod, leaving stem intact and letting any easily loosened seeds fall into sieve, then arranging the chiles, cut sides up, in 1 layer in a 13-by 9- inch (3-quart) baking dish.
- Reserve 1 cup chile-soaking liquid for sauce. Turn chile seeds out of sieve in a shallow baking pan and spread evenly, then toast in oven, stirring occasionally until dry, fragrant, and a few shades darker, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool seeds in pan on a rack, then finely grind in a grinder (you should have about 1 tablespoon).
- Puree tomatoes, including juice from can, in a blender with reserved soaking water, ground chile seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth, then transfer to a 3-quart heavy saucepan and boil, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened slightly and reduced to about 2 cups, 5 minutes.
- Roughly chop potatoes. Cook in a 3-quart pot of boiling salted water until tender, about ten minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
- Put potatoes, drained black beans,cumin, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 of the cheese into a large bowl and mash with the back of a fork or a potato masher.
- Fill chiles generously with stuffing (about 1/3 of a cup each, slit will not close over it). Pour sauce around (not over) chiles, then cover the peppers with the remaining cheese, top with fresh cracked black pepper.
- Bake until sauce is boiling over, and cheese is bubbly and golden, about 35 to 45 minutes.
- Serve warm.

Taylor Swift had a wonderful time in Northern England with One Direction's Harry Styles.
The pair have been romantically linked since September and their relationship is heating up quickly.
Harry has introduced Taylor to his sister Gemma and his mother Anne during the couple's visit to his hometown in Derbyshire this week.
At the local pub The Rising Sun in the county's Peak District, Taylor gushed about her holiday to the establishment's manager Sarah Walker.
'Taylor said she was loving being in Britain and she also seemed to like being in the country,' Sarah told British newspaper The Mirror.
'And she was excited about her birthday and about flying home for Christmas. She said she didn't mind the cold, but it will be a lot warmer in Nashville. They were both lovely and she's a honey.'
Harry also escorted his lady to the picturesque landscape of the country's Lake District.
While in Lake Windermere, Taylor and her beau spoke with jewellery shop manager Claire Dibbs about their experience.
'I was hyperventilating ' I just never expected to see them,' Claire recalled.
'Taylor introduced herself – she was really lovely. She said they were just here for the day and I think they were there with his parents. She had a lot of bags from Beatrix Potter World. I saw some cuddly toys poking out of the top of the bag.
'They'd done a lot of shopping. Taylor said she loved the area and said it was really pretty.'

I know what you are thinking and trust me, I am right there with you. A production of Cirque de Soleil directed by Diane Paulus? This already happened and it was called Pippin when it opened last spring.
But no, Amaluna, playing in a tent adjacent to Citi Field (that place where some team called "The Mets" play) is an entirely different experience. Not just that it is ostensibly under the Cirque de Soleil umbrella, but because it is a reinterpretation of Shakespeare's The Tempest.
Oh, and it's stunning-looking. But that is nothing new coming from Ms. Diane and I'll never shy away from pointing that out. Her vision - plus Scott Pask's sets and Meredith Caron's costumes - bring alive the mystical island of Amaluna and all those who inhabit it. Caron's costuming, in particular, will knock you dead with their FIERCE while helping to define each character(s). You can't look away while these performers are doing stunts as if their lives in danger (which in some cases, I mean that literally), but their costumes are so eye-catching, I wanted a close-up of each one. My favorites? The Amazons and their midriff-exposing top and pants, rendered in a tribal, black-and-red color scheme. They could cut a bitch.
But the best part of Amaluna is how Paulus incorporated "Girl Power" undertones and turned a Shakespeare piece long-derided for its lack of female characters, let alone strong female characters, into…SURPRISE! A female-empowering show. Julie Taymor attempted this idea in her film adaptation of The Tempest that came out a few years ago, where Helen Mirren played Prospera, the gender-swapped version of Prospero.
In The Tempest, Prospero uses his sorcery as means of altering Miranda's universe to his own liking. The result? He's manipulative and over-bearing, amongst other things. Changing Prospero to Prospera and having her essentially do the same thing is…well…she's still controlling, but in a more feminine/badass way. That idea is what Amaluna does to great effect, Prospera and her earth-goddess costuming being the most prominent example. Of course, having a troupe consisting of a female-majority doing BAMF-esque dances and acrobats and performances will never not be awesome, so there's that.
Just an aside, it's worth making a big deal out of a female-centric piece for the time being because…well, we still live in a (theatre) world where women are in the minority and undervalued. Not just in terms of creative staffing and the types of roles and characters women play, but as an audience. Highlighted this season by the industry pedaling Rocky to the forefront with its dude appeal, there is this undercurrent of misogyny that (1) a sports icon could never be appealing to women in the slightest and (2) men need to be in audiences in order for them to be considered "successful," even though women comprise over two-thirds the average theatre audience.
At the least, Amaluna is a feminist production inspiring women to go out and beat some ass…or, given the physiques of the performers, hit the gym the next day. And between this and Pippin, trust Ms. Diane to make females everywhere proud. Rock on, girlfriend!
The only elements of the show I could have done without were Jeeves and Deeda. The former is a pirate whom lands on Amaluna and the latter is Miranda's nurse…together, they fall in love and have children. Their comic-relief schtick never took off and they look like throw-aways compared to all of the fantastic aerial tricks, the pole-dancing, the gymnastics, the dancing, the juggling, the KICK-ASS band...pretty much everything else. I'm sure they served a more practical purpose in Amaluna then it initially lets on (i.e a breather for the other performers or time stalling so the crew can ready the next sequence) - but talk about halting the show to a slog. Thankfully, their scenes consume only so much of the run time and you will be too preoccupied at this provocative translation of The Tempest - not to mention, marveling over the costumes and the performance art - to see Amaluna as anything less then what it is; a dazzling, fun time with a wink and a fist-pump to all the ladies in the audience.

warming up ...
I felt very much touched, - my very first larger project which is entirely "natural" and hand made (my bed spread has a commercial cotton warp)
The sheep wool is partly in natural colours = white and grey and the colours are from natural dyes = marigold, soursop-flowers, honeybush and dark red rose petals, all hand spun and hand woven. It makes it feel very speciaL to me :-)
and am happy to report that the blanket is soft and lovely warm.
I feel the colours are really cheerful too!
Now to weave the "real" blanket (single bed size) - that will take a while, but I am happy for that to be ready for next winter.
More about tapestry next time ...

Winter blues
the blue bells are sprouting
and Strawberries make sweet promises .....
I filled both sides of the weaving,
I am not sure that I like the result on the right,
varying the green in the leaves is what is causing the problem I think,
and I will change that, ... Some famous un-weaving going on
the second time around (First I didn't like the background colour ...)
Galahs came to visit, one advantage of electric lines floating along the streets...
their chatter is so cheery!
Til next time :-)

Marat Safin fined for outburst
August 28, 2008 22:45 IST
Marat Safin [Images] has been fined $2,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct during his first-round win over American Vince Spadea at the U.S. Open, the International Tennis Federation said on Thursday.
Safin lost his temper and argued with umpire Carlos Bernades after he was controversially foot-faulted on a second serve late in the fourth set against Spadea on Tuesday.
With Bernades refusing to overturn the call -- which gave Spadea set point -- Safin swore at the official and for a while refused to play on.
The former world number one eventually calmed down and won the match in five sets.

THE MOST IMPORTANT SESSION OF YOUR GAME IS THE CHARACTER BURNING SESSION. The players (GM included in that) HAVE TO — HAVE TO — create their characters together as a group. Doing chargen as a group is really NICE in other games, but it's essential in Burning Wheel.
A Burning Wheel game is driven by the characters' BITRs: Beliefs, Instincts, Traits, and Relationships. Those things define the characters, and the characters define the game. If the group has done its job in the character burning session, all the GM has to do is throw a match on the fuel at the beginning of the first session of play, then sit back and watch it blaze.
The characters' every BITR for every character needs to be packed full of explosive potential. This thread at the BW forums is a great example of working up some beliefs to where they really sing. But, more on Beliefs later… this post is about that crucial first session.
While, as a GM, you can have a general idea about the sort of game you might like to run, doing character burning is really also world burning, especially for Burning Wheel. Creating the characters and fleshing out the setting as a group really empowers the players and gets them invested in the game. As a side benefit for GMs, it also takes a lot of the burden of coming up with a campaign setting off the GM and spreads it around the group. For those of us who are more "old school" in our approach to GMing, it can be unnerving and a little scary to give up that power. But, the amount of player buy-in you get from such a setting far more than outweighs that loss of "creative control."

- Enzyme
- Ivy

- Lollipop
I chose enzyme, ivy, and lollipop. Here's the story, told in exactly 100 words. It's called "Goodbye".
I look at my watch. Five minutes have gone by, and I'm starting to feel some burning.
I'm in a sticky situation, and I mean that literally. The carnivorous ivy I'm wrapped in secretes a mucousy concoction of enzymes that are slowly digesting me.
My legs are blistering from the acid. I know I don't have much time left. Death has always seemed far away, but I'm nose-to-nose with my own mortality now. Apparently my whole life has been a fucking waste because I've barely done anything, and now I'm going to die. I'm fading.
Black spotted vision, then nothing.

Well, the Intimate was first up there beside the Presbyterian Church in a ramshackle old wooden building. Milton Abernathy opened the Intimate. Before that, I think, it was probably Hoop Patterson's store. It wasn't built as the Intimate. But, in the early 1930's, Milton Abernathy opened it up and he sold books around there. Actually, he sold books around the campus in a wheelbarrow.
Well, it was a haven naturally for the leftwing at the time and it was very successful. He later sold it to one of his employees, Kemp Battle Nye. Kemp Nye was the descendant of the Battles of the University of North Carolina. The McCauleys and the Battles were ... Well, McCauley gave some of the land for the university.
But, Kemp was a swashbuckling, very colorful businessman who really enjoyed life and he combined it and then converted it to music. Kemp's Music Store was a Franklin Street icon for years. Put up a sign every fall that says, "Welcome back money. Keep Kemp's Green."

Before I get on the road with my Ten Things of Thankful post, I just want to give a shout out to Josie Two Shoes who is the administrator for the Ten Things of Thankful blog hop. She reads every Ten Things of Thankful post which is linked to her blog hop and responds with thoughtful comments. Click the link to see what others have posted this week. Bloggers' posts can be added beginning shortly after midnight (Central Time) Thursday evening until Tuesday evening.
My husband was confusing guar gum with something else and suggested that I might be able to use some of it to thicken the salad. When I googled the use of guar gum, I discovered that one of its uses is as a thickening agent. I decided to give it a try because it can thicken both cold and hot liquids. Although I had no idea of how much I might need, I thought the amount might be similar to how much cornstarch would be required. Let me just say, that was not a correct assumption. One does not need anywhere nearly as much, and it thickens quite rapidly. We enjoyed the thickened fruit salad, and found that my body benefited quite nicely from eating it. That discovery sent me back to the internet to read about health benefits and any interactions from eating guar gum. It isn't for everyone, but can be helpful for some people. Have you ever found the solution to two problems while in the process of just trying to solve one problem?
2. Accomplishing goals in moderation. In the past I've been one to push onward trying to finish the desired objective without taking forever. At the time, it seemed like a good idea, but over the years I've learned the hard way, that doing things in moderation and taking breaks, resting, going on vacations, etc. offer healthy benefits. This week, I started doing some hoeing and weed pulling but made myself, often with my husband's reminder, stop after a half hour or 45 minutes and then going back in the house. I worked in the morning when it was cooler. After a couple of years of not being able to manage a hoe, I wanted to make sure I didn't overdo. I've felt excited about this jump in my flexibility without additional pain. Seeing some tidiness outside, at least in one area, has lifted my spirits as has the higher FitBit scores from the exercise involved.
|It took me most of the week to weed this area.
|This Christmas cactus just had a shower.
|Inexpensive "sparkly" I found on dusty road
|Western Fence Lizard on pile of bricks
8. Challenges. There is a patch of wildflowers (or weeds) growing in a dry shady area. I have been trying to identify them. With all our books and the online helps, this should be easy, but so far the only one I've found that looks similar supposedly grows a different area of the country. The reference book is kind of old, so I supposed it could be a plant that has migrated westward over the years. Anyone up to identifying this plant?

Falsettos Comes to Live on Lincoln Center this Week
Posted by
Nominated for five 2017 Tonys, Falsettos is a poignant and hilarious look at a modern family set amidst the emerging AIDS crisis. We'll be airing the show this week on Live from Lincoln Center at the following days and times:
Friday, October 27, at 9pm on CET
Saturday, October 28, at 10pm on ThinkTV16
Wednesday, November 1, at 7:30pm on CET Arts
Wednesday, November 1, at 9pm on ThinkTV14
Falsettos revolves around the life of a gay man, his wife, his lover, his soon to be bar mitzvahed son, their psychiatrist, and the lesbians next door. With its razor-sharp portrait of a "modern family" in the making, this timely musical manages to remain buoyant and satirically perceptive even as it moves towards its heartbreaking conclusion.
Coming off a wildly successful limited run in movie theaters, Lincoln Center Theater's acclaimed production of Falsettos stars Christian Borle, Andrew Rannells, Stephanie J. Block, and Brandon Uranowitz, who were all nominated for Tony Awards for their respective performances.
Andrew C. Wilk, executive producer of Live From Lincoln Center, remarked: "…We're particularly proud to bring Falsettos to viewers across the country. This sparkling revival of the groundbreaking musical is not to be missed."

If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Ephesians 4:27-32

You've no doubt heard of the application architecture acronym, "SOLID". Bob Martin (Uncle Bob) came up with this as a guideline for application architecture. The acronym stands for:
- Single Responsibility Principle (a class should have one and only one reason to change)
- Open Closed Principle (a class should be open for extension but closed for change)
- Liskov's Substitution Principle (subclasses implementations should do what you expect them to do)
- Interface Segregation Principle (classes shouldn't have to implement interfaces they don't need)
- Dependency Inversion Principle (don't tie implementation to concrete dependencies, but instead code to abstractions (i.e.: interfaces))
When I talk to various folks, I find that a lot of people don't really get the Open / Closed Principle. To that end, I decided I'd do a quick write up which probably doesn't do what Uncle Bob was expressing much justice at all, but is hopefully very simple to understand.
In a nutshell, the behavior of a piece of code should be able to be extended without changing it. That sounds very academic to me, doesn't really make a lot of sense, and doesn't seem to have much real world value. After all, a solution should only be as complicated as the problem you are trying to solve. Well, another way of looking at this is to say that code which has been tested and put in production shouldn't be changed. This reduces the chance of introducing new bugs in existing code and thus keeps total cost of ownership down (less bugs = less $$). Ok, that makes a little more sense, but how do you do it?
It's easier to see this principle in action. Thus, have a look at the code below.
This first code block violates the Open Closed Principle. A dead give away (or commonly code a "code smell") is the switch case statement. Be on the lookout for those in your code; they are often good indicators of a worthwhile refactoring opportunities.
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Diagnostics; namespace ConsoleApplication1 { /* * This example is a violation the Open Closed Principle (the O in SOLID), * which means that code is "open for extension, but closed for change". * * Consider that the FeedTheAnimals method is far more * complicated and has been tested * and moved to production. * * If you need to add new functionality * for a new animal, such as a cow, you have to * change code which has already been tested. * * This isn't truly extensible. */ public enum AnimalType { Dog, Cat, Bird } public class OpenCloseViolation { public void FeedTheAnimals(AnimalType animalType) { switch (animalType) { case AnimalType.Dog: { Trace.Write("eat meat"); break; } case AnimalType.Cat: { Trace.Write("eat fish"); break; } case AnimalType.Bird: { Trace.Write("eat worms"); break; } default: { Trace.Write("eat grass"); break; } } } public void DoWork() { this.FeedTheAnimals(AnimalType.Dog); this.FeedTheAnimals(AnimalType.Cat); this.FeedTheAnimals(AnimalType.Bird); } } }
By contrast, the following code conforms to the Open Closed Principle:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Diagnostics; namespace ConsoleApplication1 { /* * This example conforms to the Open Closed Principle * (the O in SOLID), * which means that code is * "open for extension, but closed for change". * * In this example, the implementation is left * to the subclasses and * FeedTheAnimals never has * to change to add new functionality. * * Thus, this is truly extensible. */ public class Animal { public virtual void Eat() { Trace.Write("eat grass"); } } public class Dog : Animal { public override void Eat() { Trace.Write("eat meat"); } } public class Cat : Animal { public override void Eat() { Trace.Write("eat fish"); } } public class Bird : Animal { public override void Eat() { Trace.Write("eat worms"); } } public class OpenCloseConformance { public void FeedTheAnimals(Animal animal) { animal.Eat(); } public void DoWork() { Animal dog = new Dog(); this.FeedTheAnimals(dog); Animal cat = new Cat(); this.FeedTheAnimals(cat); Animal bird = new Bird(); this.FeedTheAnimals(bird); } } }
That's it. It's a lot easier than it sounds. I hope this helps someone.
Happy coding,
Tom Hundley
