Working in the film industry is not easy nor glamorous. Your hands get
dirty, it's physically challenging and mentally exhausting, with very long hours, incredibly high stress situations, and constant change, not always for the better. It's not a job for anyone nor everyone. It requires thick skin. It's intrinsic and a lifestyle, with skills learned mostly on the
job. Terminology, basic equipment, and proper resume creation, as well as protocol, hierarchy, and networking are all important, but only those with passion, drive, and ambition for film and television are likely to succeed. To thrive, students must be able to problem solve, and think critically and independently, while also following directions exactly. It's military structure with a creative and innovative pursuit of art. Training on how to be an employable entry level production assistant is more important to a student's success than teaching them how to hold a boom pole, set a flag, or breakdown a script.
Linda Burns, with nearly 25 years of film and television experience
in Georgia, started her career as a production assistant, working her way up to producer of award winning narrative films, broadcast television shows, and national commercials. Occasionally, she directs documentaries. In her spare time, she runs the prestigious film training program, ThePAAcademy.org, teaches entry and advanced level production classes, mentors content creators in The D-Girl Project, and manages The Creative
Conference for Atlanta Film Festival. She sits on the executive boards of Georgia Production Partnership and Atlanta Film Society, and is a charter

Here's my Kid's Clothes Week offering for days 5-6 undies for Isabelle. If you'd asked me a few years ago if I would ever sew undies for my kids I would have laughed in your face. But that was before I saw this kid's underwear pattern from That Darn Kat – how cute are those undies?
Cuteness aside, there are a couple of other reasons for my decision to sew undies. We started toilet training Isabelle in earnest about 2 weeks before we went to Christchurch – she was going like a dream and then we had to travel down and there was a bit of a relapse. We had so many accidents on our return that Isabelle ran out of her own undies and had to use her brother's! Also, Isabelle is often a bit little for store bought undies, they usually gape at the legs – not so great for containing 'certain' accidents if you know what I mean!
Although the training is back on track now – I thought why not make it fun, with some 'fun undies'? (I have to tell you, I was 'this' close to heading up this post "Fundies!" Count yourself lucky!)
But they really are such fun! (And most importantly, a hit with Isabelle who put a pair on straight away.)
That last pair is my favourite and reminds me somewhat of Abby's gorgeous handmade adult pair – quite possibly because we both used the same Liberty fabric!
As well as couple of small scraps of the Liberty knit fabric that I also used for the girl's leggings, most of the fabric I used was scraps of knit fabric from my stash including a repurposed tee and some left over owl fabric from a previous Spoonflower order.
The pattern is great and pretty easy, with one of the best things about it being that they are made using no elastic and therefore extremely comfy.
I also made a pair of training pants (the original reason I bought this pattern) – it's not an idea suggested in the pattern, just something I saw on Pinterest (link and more to come in a future post, once I've made more and tested out their effectiveness). But essentially they have an extra patch made of 2 layers of absorbent microfibre (the stuff used for inserts in pocket nappies); covered by waterproof PUL (also used to make re-usable nappies). See what I mean below…
I plan to use these when out and about and overnight as toilet training progresses.
I also have a bunch more undies cut out and ready to sew. Once you get making them, it's a little addictive – coming up with the fabric combinations is the best part!
Ok that's enough about undies for one day!
Joining in with the fun that is…

St Cynog's church lies on the northern side of Defynnog village about 12km miles west of Brecon. The church undoubtedly has a long history though whether the reputed 'Celtic window' is an authentic pre-Conquest feature cannot be ascertained. The tower and
the body of the church are late medieval though of different builds, and internally there is an interesting range of furnishings including an early medieval inscribed stone and a font and stoup both of early date. The churchyard is large and irregular.
The tower is attributable to the late 15thC on the basis of details such as round- and camber-headed windows, gargoyles, and battlements; little change except for some replacement of window dressings.
Nave may contain a section of walling on north side which belongs to the earliest church, though whether it is 'Celtic' remains a moot point. Two of the windows are late Perpendicular but several later windows have been inserted and the upper part of the
western end of the south wall has been reconstructed.
Chancel and north chapel are of the same build, with some reconstruction of north-west corner of north chapel and probably the replacement of a doorway in the north wall with one in the west. On the south wall of the chancel a fabric break at its juncture
with the nave indicates that the former was built on to an existing structure.
On the basis of the windows the body of the church is usually ascribed to c.1500, but it is evident that the chancel has been extended eastwards. Are both the rebuilding and the extension likely to have occurred close together in the early 16thC, or is it
possible that the nave is earlier and that Perpendicular windows have been inserted into it? There is also a belief amongst earlier writers that the north chapel (or north aisle as it was often referred to) was later in date than the chancel, although this
cannot be verified from surface observations.
Porch could be original, though the RCAHMW placed it as late as the 18thC.
Parts of the following description are quoted from the 1979 publication The Buildings of Wales: Powys by Richard Haslam
An early medieval origin for the church seems reasonably plausible on the basis of its dedication and its siting. Pre-Conquest features may include the font, stoup, the incised stone and the architecture of the north wall of the nave though it must be
stated that for a variety of reasons none of these can categorically be used as confirmatory evidence for an early church.
Nevertheless it is generally understood that this was a mother church for the region, and its importance is demonstrated by the fact that the 'Ecclesia de Devennoc' was valued at the high level of ś8 18s 9d in the Taxatio of 1254, and ś17 6s 8d in that of
It seems likely that the church saw some restoration in the 18thC or early 19thC though no records of this work have been identified. Certainly the south windows west of the porch would seem to be of this date.
Glynne visited the church in 1855, noting that it was "above par" for the region in both size and condition. The plan was described and the Perpendicular windows except for those on the north side had escaped mutilation. The tower was massive, with a
south-east turret. The roofs of nave and aisle were coved and panelled, the western end of the nave was partitioned off by a gallery.
The church underwent some restoration in 1888. This included the removal of the gallery, gallery stairs and pews, the replacement of three windows in the north chapel and nave, the rebuilding of part of the south wall and the walling over the arcade,
re-roofing of the building, new concrete and tile floors etc.
Further more minor alterations occurred in 1905 including work on the partitions at the west end of the nave.
Defynnog church comprises a nave and chancel in one, a north chapel extending eastwards in line with the end of the chancel, a south porch central to the nave, a west tower, and a small modern structure, perhaps a boiler house, in the angle formed by the
nave and the north chapel. The church is oriented fractionally south of grid west.
Fabrics: 'A' is of squared blocks and slabs of red and grey sandstone with occasional vesicular lumps, small and medium in size, rarely larger; irregularly coursed.
'B' contains more red sandstone than 'A', and in places the coursing is more regular.
'C' has predominantly squared blocks of sandstone, both red and grey in colour.
Roofs: slates with lead along ridge crest.
Drainage: drainage trenches along both sides of the nave, and the north and east sides of the north chapel. A metalled path runs along the east side of the building.
Porch . General. Fabric 'A', though sides particularly in smaller rubble than the nave walls.
East and west walls: plain; large mural slab of 1837 set against former.
South wall: two-centred arch with chamfered sandstone dressings; 15thC according to Haslam. Gable has ornamental wooden bargeboard of recent origin. Iron gates.
Tower. General. In Fabric 'C'. Battered base topped by string-course; second stage also defined by rectangular sectioned string-course; belfry stage has a third string-course at top and above this is battlemented parapet. The tower supports a small
pyramidal spire with a weathervane, and has a stair turret at the south-east angle.
North wall: some zoning of stonework visible in second stage; tower wall abuts nave wall except for one large block which bonds in. Two-light, louvred belfry window; gargoyle projects from string-course above.
East wall: nave roof rises to top of second stage; belfry window has round-headed twin lights, louvred. Stair turret at south-east angle is lit by two slits in the same stage. Water spout on top string-course.
South wall: belfry stage has two windows, the lower a single round-headed light with chamfered sandstone dressings and, above, twin round-headed lights, faint markings in the spandrel, and sockets for the louvre boards. Stair turret on south-east is
battered to a higher level; upper two string-courses continue around the turret; one slit window below middle string-course, and a second in the west face of the turret. Highest string-course has one gargoyle.
West wall: round-headed windows at bottom and top of second stage, the former larger than the latter; a standard twin-light window lights belfry; two gargoyles on top string-course.
Nave. General. Essentially Fabric 'A' throughout, though some variation.
North wall: slightly battered at base. From east i) above the boiler house, a three-light Perpendicular window, completely replaced; ii) high up on wall is a square wooden-framed two-light window with a wooden lintel, post-medieval; iii) the blocked,
so-called 'Celtic window' with its two jambs and a lintel which narrows over the aperture and far overlaps the jambs; it is fixed in a section of wall about 3m long which is inset from the main wall face at its base but bulges at a higher level and is
flush with the rest of the wall; iv) immediately to the west of this section of walling is a small buttress-like protrusion though it extends no more than 0.1m from the wall face - its significance is unclear.
South wall: east of the porch are two Perpendicular three-light windows, the dressings entirely replaced on that to the west, the other less so; Haslam describes the tracery in these windows, as elsewhere on the south and north, as unusual with an almost
round-headed frame with two mullions, the outer pair of lights with a single cusp at impost level, the inner with a trefoil head but otherwise plain. Occasional traces of limewash adhere to the masonry on this part of wall. West of the porch are two
two-centred arched windows with wooden mullions and Y-tracery, voussoirs for the arch and rough stonework for the jambs; late insertions possibly at the time when the school room was partitioned off. South-west angle of nave abuts tower; there are no
quoins strengthening the view that the tower is slightly earlier than the nave. However, it is also likely that the upper part of the wall, west of the porch, is rebuilt. At eaves level the roof drops by c.0.1m and the upper wall face is inset by the same
North chapel. General. Limewash remnants.
North wall: Fabric is similar to 'A', but irregularities in wall face hint at some reconstruction perhaps re-using existing stone. Two Perpendicular-style windows but that to west is certainly Victorian, and that to east may be, though it is in red
sandstone. In addition a jamb stone at ground level towards the western end of the wall face could be the sole in situ survivor of a north door, and this reinforces the belief that the western end of this wall has been reconstructed.
East wall: Fabric 'B'; four-light window with panel tracery under two-centred arch, hollow chamfers.
West wall: standard Perpendicular window of three lights, the dressings largely original. Adjacent is a Victorian two-centred arched doorway, the slightly battered base of the wall broken through for its insertion, and the wall face above the door, and to
the north of the window is probably all rebuilt, with distinctive slabs of sandstone and heavy pointing.
Chancel. General. Fabric 'B'. Masonry retains intermittent limewash traces.
East wall: no butt joint with north chapel: they are of same build. Window as east window of north chapel, in red sandstone; patched up but largely original.
South wall: one three-light Perpendicular window with a broad two-centred head, comparable with windows in nave; some replacement of sandstone dressings, particularly the mullions; brackets for hinged shutters. West of the window is a priest's door with
two steps down to it, and half a step up to the threshold stone; it has an obtuse two-centred arch and chamfered dressings of mixed colours, showing little sign of wear; the masonry surround to this door stands out from the general Fabric 'B' and has been
rebuilt. West of the priest's door is a change from Fabric 'B' to Fabric 'A'; this is not a butt joint more a dovetailing of the masonry; one ashlar quoin stone has been re-used.
Porch. General. Stone flag floor; plastered walls except that on north which is bare; plastered ceiling showing only the purlins.
North wall: two-centred arch with chamfered dressings in red sandstone looks original, but jambstones in grey sandstone on either side may be replacements.
East wall: stoup set in wall.
West wall: plain but early medieval stone rests against it.
Tower. General. Flag floor. It should be noted that the lintel of the door to the bellringers' chamber has a decorated ring cross carved on it.
East wall: tall tower arch blocked off.
South wall: small, two-centred doorway to tower turret.
West wall: deeply splayed window.
Nave. General. Western half of nave has a broad vestibule opening off from porch with plaster board panelling to east and a wall to west behind which is the school room.
School room has polished wooden floor and flat ceiling. North wall supports an undated benefaction board, a blocked fireplace (coinciding with the slight protrusion in external wall face to the west of the 'Celtic' window), and a mural tablet of 1758.
Windows in south wall have surviving wooden shutters. West wall contains the large pointed archway to the tower, not chamfered; now blocked leaving only a small entrance.
Vestibule has stone flagged floor and false ceiling; modern furniture and an old fashioned school desk.
Nave. General (cont.). Floor of Victorian tiles with one large grille for underfloor heating; wooden block floors beneath benches. Plastered and whitewashed walls, but exposed dressings for windows and arcade. Nave and chancel ceiling in one:
barrel-ceiling with close-set moulded ribs.
North wall: one splayed window beneath which is a mural tablet and war memorial plaques. One and a half bays of Perpendicular arcade to north chapel.
South wall: splayed windows; large numbers of 19thC mural tablets.
West wall: plain.
North chapel. General. Floor of flags which include in the sanctuary three complete grave slabs of 1637, 1724 and the third not legible, and another 14 or 15 whole or in part flooring an 'aisle' beside the arcade. Plastered and whitewashed walls. Ceiling
as in nave and chancel.
North wall: splayed windows; two 18thC mural tablets and one of the 19thC.
East wall: splayed east window; two 18thC mural tablets.
South wall: arcade. One 18thC mural tablet over arcade pillar and another on east respond.
West wall: splayed window.
Chancel. General. Floor tiled throughout; one step up from nave and two more to sanctuary. Walls and ceiling as nave.
North wall: one and a half bays of arcade. The eastern respond is of slightly different design to the other pillars and the western respond and Haslam felt it might be earlier. Three 17thC and 18thC mural tablets in north-east corner and a 19thC tablet
over the arcade pillar to the west.
East wall: splayed window. Ten Commandments painted on wall.
South wall: splayed window but not doorway.
St Cynog's church is sited in a sloping churchyard of irregular rectilinear form. The slope is more marked to the south of the church than to the north, a result of the location on ground that is beginning to drop towards a tributary of the River Senni.
The river itself lies little more than 100m to the west and the western edge of the churchyard is perched on the lip of its river terrace.
If Defynnog church did originally occupy a curvilinear enclosure there are no convincing signs of it today. A small extension to the extreme south of the yard is documented in the last century, and it is just conceivable that the scarp bank to the south of
the church (see below) functioned as a boundary at some point in the past.
The churchyard is well maintained and is currently used for burial.
Boundary: south-west of the church the boundary is defined by a mortared stone wall with an immediate external drop of around 0.8m more than the internal drop, separated by a narrow ledge before the fall into the river valley. Between the church and the
vicarage to the west a low internal bank and a hedge replace the wall, but on the north side the wall commences again, the difference in height becoming less marked as one moves eastwards. On the east the perimeter is edged by houses and again the interior
is raised to the extent that some of the cottage windows are on a level with the churchyard. The wall continues on the south-east and there is no real external drop.
Monuments: these are well spread throughout the churchyard and are locally dense, particularly on the north side. Late 18thC and many 19thC graves are prevalent to the north of the north chapel and also to the south of the chancel.
Furniture: none noted.
Earthworks: a scarp bank in excess of one metre high and quite pronounced curves round from beneath the tower to opposite the chancel.
Ancillary features: an ornate lychgate with transoms and tracery across the arches dates to 1903, and offers the main access from the south. The north-west corner has a single painted metal gate, the north-east corner has double cast iron gates and there
is a further gate on the east side. All are served by tarmac paths.
Vegetation: four large yews including one on the scarp bank noted above lie in an arc around the church.

Sugar producer considers opening new mill in Mozambique Phase 1 is intended to produce 400 000 t/y of sugar from cane and 18 million litres of ethanol using molasses as a feedstock.
Phase 2 will double the size of this operation and will be undertaken after a period of consolidationKhoza further notes that the Massingir pro ject is part of TSB growth strategy and will secure its position as a leading regional low cost producer of sugar and its by productsThe Massingir project has a louis vuitton agenda consignment number of favourable natural resource advantages such as fertile free draining red soils, a large secure water source from the Massingir dam, which is situated across the Oliphants river, and good sunshine hours, which will translate into high yields of sugar cane. The project is situated 300 km from Maputo with reasonable access to the capital port by both road and railKhoza notes that Mozambique has duty access to the European Union market, which South Africa does not have, which is another reason why TSB is considering the Mozambique projectmakes sense for us to sell in markets which we can easily access and derive the best value from. land on which we farm sugar cane in Mpumalanga has been used to capacity and there is no more land available. At a stretch, we could maybe find another 5 000 ha and even then other crops, such as bananas or litchis, would have to be replaced, he says, also highlighting the lack of water in MpumalangaCrocodile river, which supplies water to towns such as Nelspruit and Malalane, is currently stretched in terms of supply. As a result, there is pressure from government to build two dams, one in Montrose and one in Mountainview, also in Mpumalangaeffort is being put into building those dams and only when they have been completed can one really pursue further agricultural activities in the province, Khoza says, adding that the Massingir dam has a lot of unrealised potentialMeanwhile, he notes that the South African sugar industry reached its peak last year, having produced 2.7 million tons of sugarnumber has shrunk considerably to 1.9 million t/y. The industry lost 800 000 tons of sugar, owing to climatic challenges, such as drought, resulting in reduced production, he says, pointing out that land was also lost to property development, especially in KwaZulu Natal, and its surrounding areasis a lot of property development going on in areas such as Durban and much of the land is currently not being used, owing to challenges such as land ownership. net effect of these factors has led to louis vuitton buckhead atlanta the shrinking of the local sugar industry, he explainsKhoza adds that if climate change had not played such a pivotal role, the industry would not have been hit so hardindustry seems to be recovering slightly, with a yield of 2.2 million tons a year so far, but this does not mean that the industry will fully recover to the level of 2.7 million tons a year. hope that it will eventually reach a yield of 2.3 million tons a year, he saysFurther, Khoza highlights that government is reinvesting in agricultural production by offering grants to sugar cane growers, which is louis vuitton alma gm amarante helping the industry recoveris offering to rehabilitate infrastructure in louis vuitton alma bag serial number the sugar cane fields and a lot of funding is provided for the industry in general. that into consideration, in another five years, we should see the industry getting back to a yield of between 2.4 million tons a year and 2.5 million tons a year, he saysKhoza adds that, in Africa, the sugar industry mostly exports to other African countries, but that domestic demand is higher than the export demandwe do not have enough sugar to meet local demand, he saysKhoza states that South Africa imports 150 000 t/y of sugar, which is the equivalent of what one large sugar mill can producechallenge is that there are a few countries, such as Brazil and India, which produce a lot of sugar, so it makes sense for these countries to sell their excess product to the surrounding markets. The fact that it is easy to export to places such as Durban and Cape Town makes South Africa vulnerable, he saysKhoza adds that the future of the South African sugar industry relies on import protectionhave to continually produce sugar that is a competitive product on the international market so that other countries find it difficult to export sugar to South Africa.
are in discussions with government about implementing import protection, which is a short term measure. the long term, we have to be competitive and, currently, the industry is feeling the squeeze of imports. Sugar is an industry in distress, he concludes.

LEWISBURG, Pa. – Each year in early December, when temperatures start dipping into the 20s, and frost almost permanently covers the ground, Warren Abrahamson sets out on a collecting trip.
Unlike many biologists, who collect the insects they study during the balmy months of spring, the Bucknell University biology professor has chosen creatures that make themselves known during the coldest months in the northeast. Gall flies, gall beetles and gall wasps, so named for the bubble-like "galls" they form on the stems of goldenrod, seek out this plant as a protective home for their eggs in one of the more unusual relationships in nature.
Abrahamson and his collaborators collect the galls in winter, when the insects are in their larval stage, so they may observe them as they emerge as adult insects in the spring. "The larval offspring of insects feed on the plants, stimulating them to make tumor-like growths called galls," Abrahamson said. "It's an insect that lives inside and takes resources from a plant."
Abrahamson has been studying the gall fly and its interaction with goldenrod for 36 years and received more than $2 million from the National Science Foundation and other sources for his laboratory at Bucknell. He will be recognized as an American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Fellow next month for his extensive research in this area as well as his work to promote prescribed burns in central Florida to control wildfires and to preserve fragile land in central Pennsylvania.
Teaching science in the real world
The nonprofit organization, which is dedicated to the advancement of science worldwide, in November selected 486 fellows, recognizing them for their outstanding research and teaching. Abrahamson was chosen for "distinguished contributions to the field of biology, particularly for discoveries about evolutionary ecology and plant-insect interactions," according to organization officials. The AAAS Fellows will be honored at the organization's annual meeting Feb. 14 in Chicago.
Abrahamson, who became the first and only David Burpee Professor of Biology at Bucknell in 1983, also is the first professor at the University to be named an AAAS Fellow. He credited Bucknell with supporting his research through the endowment and with giving students the opportunity to assist him.
"Bucknell made a huge investment in me," Abrahamson said. "To me, this is really neat, because I think it crystallizes the significance of having endowed chairs and of supporting young faculty. We have successfully competed with higher level research institutions for grants. The fact that this has been done with students is significant."
Abrahamson has published 142 papers and two books. Nearly a third of the papers are co-authored by post-doctoral fellows, masters-level and undergraduate students, giving them exposure to "science in the real world," he said. Abrahamson co-authored a book, Evolutionary Ecology Across Three Tropic Levels: Goldenrods, Gallmakers & Natural Enemies, (Princeton University Press, 1997) with Arthur E. Weis, who was a Burpee and NSF post-doctoral fellow at Bucknell for three years.
Studying the gall fly and its interaction with its host plant, the goldenrod, can help biologists understand how plants and animals interact and adapt to natural predators. Such information could help farmers protect crops and assist ecologists in removing invasive plants.
Ducking predators
Abrahamson and his collaborators have discovered several protective mechanisms or genetic mutations in goldenrod, including its practice of "ducking" or hanging its bud down, presumably to hide from the gall fly and prevent it from forming its gall. Abrahamson and a collaborator, Michael J. Wise, who also was a Burpee and NSF post-doctoral fellow at Bucknell, recently published a paper about the so-called "candy cane" goldenrod in Ecology magazine.
"The attack levels are significantly lower on stems that duck," Abrahamson said. "The fun part is we didn't know much about that when we got started 36 years ago. Goldenrod is a plant that is able to tolerate being eaten with varying impacts. One gall fly and ball gall reduce a goldenrod's seed out by nearly 50 percent. Plants, herbivores and natural enemies of herbivores are unrelated but are evolving in response to one other. We are studying their interaction."
Abrahamson and his collaborators also have discovered that some goldenrod plants develop a higher tolerance to their predators. Others produce terpenes, an odor that is toxic to insects that feed on them.
"We are using a multitude of approaches, including genetics, behavior and ecology, to study how the interaction works and how the plant defends itself, how insects find plants and how natural enemies have evolved in respect to the gall fly," he said. "All of that helps us to understand evolutionary ecology of the interaction. We're looking at ecological interactions and how they evolve, how specialization occurs, how biodiversity is created on this earth. We mammals are a tiny part of the diversity, but insects and plants represent the vast majority of the biodiversity described on earth."
Land management
Also during his tenure at Bucknell, Abrahamson and his students studied how fire affects the interactions of plants and animals in central Florida and together published more than 40 papers on the subject. He and a colleague were largely responsible for bringing about prescribed burns in the Lake Wales ridge area of Florida as a way of controlling wildfires. During the 1970s, fire suppression was the key method, but that allowed thick brush to build up over the years, providing abundant fuel for rampant wildfires.
Abrahamson also has been involved in the preservation of land in the Merrill W. Linn Land & Waterways Conservancy, the Montandon Marsh and Dale's Ridge hiking trail, providing scientific analysis about endangered vegetation and the ecosystem.

This weekend, I dove into my edits on The Girl with the Red Balloon. I made a to-do list based off my editor's comments (it ended up being around 45 items long with more to come!). Some of it was easy–fixing characters' ages (inconsistency) in a few scenes, clarifying if magic balloons have ribbons or strings (strings, btw), etc–and some of it was hard (worldbuilding is my nemesis). And some of it was thought-provoking.
In The Girl with the Red Balloon, Ellie is pulled back in time to 1988 East Berlin via a magic red balloon. My editor asked at some point, "Does she miss technology?" and I realized I didn't have enough missing of things in the book. There was an absence of missing things.
Which, naturally, made me think about what I'd miss if I accidentally time-traveled to 1988 and landed behind the Iron Curtain.
I'd miss my cats, my siblings, my parents, my friends, and the internet. I'd miss on-demand coffee and the ability to just drive to a bookstore and curl up there, surrounded by thousands of books. I'd miss the freedom to travel as I want to. I'd miss being bitchy online, or in person, without consequences. (This is to say, I'd miss the Constitution of the United States and all of its amendments.) I'd miss the SCOTUS decision on Obergefell v. Hodges. I'd miss Halsey's voice and David Ford's music and Ingrid Michaelson's wit. I'd miss the way Lin-Manual Miranda transformed musicals and history for millions of Americans. I'd miss Obama's sly jokes and I'd miss Biden's frankness. I'd miss Michelle Obama and Laura Bush crossing political party lines in a political environment that feels horrifyingly toxic. I'd miss picking what I'd study at college, and then not using anything I learned there except to write books after the hours of my dayjobs. I'd miss the times of unemployment I've had, where I found volunteer work, figured out how to market myself, and recovered from toxic jobs I'd had.
And somehow, I need to go dig into my main character's mind again and figure out what her big paragraph of random thoughts would be. What she would miss, not just hearing American accents or her phone, but what matters to her in the moments before she time-travels, before she lands somewhere without the freedoms and comforts to which she is accustomed.
Writing out my list just now helped me think about what her list would be. So I guess this is what I'm tackling tonight!
Hope you all are well.

I finally found the time to read Tina Folsom's book, "Amaury's Hellion." This book is the second installment to her Scanguards Vampires series. As I told Ms. Folsom after I had read her first book, "Samson's Lovely Mortal," I became fascinated with Amaury and really wanted to read more about him. When she told me that book two was all about him, I was ready to go.
Amaury LeSang is a vampire and part owner of Scanguards with his good friend Samson. He has a problem though. Amaury was cursed to feel everybody's emotions. Now I used to think it would be really cool to be able to read another's mind or, perhaps feel another's emotions…but not at all like Amaury. His curse manifested in a constant migraine that could only be relieved through sex. At best, the sex would lift the pain only for about an hour. After that, he would get a rush of everyone's emotions all over again and the migraine would resume.
As Scanguards is under the magnifying glass for murder/suicides allegedly caused by employees, Amaury, Samson, and the New York vampires put their wits together to figure out who-done-it. That is when Amaury meets the feisty human woman, Nina, who is out for vengeance for the death of her little brother. Of course, Nina's blood boils for Amaury because she believes Amaury is the responsible one for her brother, Eddie's death.
Amaury's and Nina's first meeting turns out to be more of surprise. Instead of killing Amaury as planned, Nina ends up kissing him. Of course, she's trying to throw off his guard… and it does! Amaury realizes that in Nina's presence, all his pain vanishes…and they haven't had sex yet! With a cure seemingly within his reach, Amaury strives to hook up with Nina.
The story is an exciting love story with a touch of dom/sub flavor. Yes, Amaury doles out the spankings and Nina enjoys tying him up.
I must say that over all I loved this story. Amaury is a very caring vampire and loves Nina right off the bat and he'll do anything to keep her safe. The story seemed well developed and easy to follow all the main characters. However, I did find some sections tended to go a little slow. Perhaps it was my desire to want more detail throughout the story. I would have loved to have read a little more of the dom/sub flavor.
Aside from my specific desires, and I know I'm tremendously finicky, Ms. Folsom has done another great job of carrying on the Scanguards Vampire series. I look forward to the third installation, "Gabriel's Mate."

text: The crash in BrainF was caused by the memset intrinsic, that got a new parameter isvolatile in LLVM-2.8. Two questions: What is the right Haskell type for i1 arguments? How can we avoid silently breaking of llvm client code? BrainF locally declares the memset intrinsic and the same way other LLVM applications may do. Should we provide a module that declares the LLVM intrinsics? LLVM notes mention an Intrinsic::getDeclaration method, but I do not know, whether this would help the Haskell wrapper.

Final Shorewood Park Work Party Of The Year Is This Saturday, Oct. 9th
The folks at Shorewood on the Sound Blog say that the final Shorewood Park Work Party of the year is this Saturday, Oct. 9th, starting at 10am.
Volunteers are meeting at the park entrance on 28th Place SW at 10am to do an Autumn cleanup of "those persistent Himalayan blackberry and English ivy vines as well as any Herb Robert still in bloom."
They add:
We have a wonderful 'pocket' forest in our neighborhood and thanks to your efforts over the years it is such an enjoyable place to take a walk year round.
Check http://seahurstpark.org/volunteer.html if you want directions to the park. There is a Google map to our park.

Anne, can you fix this? Perhaps the best way to fix this is to have the definition of the credentials flag reference UMP. I think it's worth noting that Adam Barth's review of UMP went into significant detail on the definition of credentials, but I don't recall him raising similar points about CORS, though they would obviously apply. I take this as further evidence that having separate specifications improves clarity. > A CORS message would clearly not satisfy the declarative definition of "a > Uniform Request". Since this definition is based partly on what MUST NOT be > included, I don't see any way to extend it. CORS must not claim that its requests-with-credentials are uniform requests. That would be incorrect and a violation of the UMP spec. Instead, CORS could define its requests as uniform-requests-plus-credentials and give this new construct a new name. In programmer speak, CORS could extend UMP using composition rather than inheritance. > No existing CORS implementation will satisfy the requirements for a Uniform > Request, as far as I can tell, since it includes "information obtained > from... the referring resource, including its origin".

If it's not possible to coax an existing implementation into sending "Origin: null", then, in the extreme, it's possible to create a newly generated domain name and send the request from there, so that the Origin header has a value to which no semantics are attached. Again, I'm *not* arguing that existing CORS implementations provide a clean and usable interface for using UMP. They clearly don't. I'm only arguing that UMP defines functionality that existing implementations have implicitly agreed to support, since they support sending of semantically equivalent messages (there was never any guarantee that the Origin header contained information that was meaningful to the server). As you pointed out, there's still the issue of redirect handling, but AFAICT, CORS implementations are not perfectly aligned here either. We should open a new thread on the redirect question, as there are clearly issues that remain to be solved both within CORS itself and between CORS and UMP. I'd also like the opportunity to convince the WG that the UMP handling of redirects is the technically superior choice. --Tyler -- "Waterken News: Capability security on the Web" http://waterken.sourceforge.net/recent.htmlReceived on Wednesday, 3 February 2010 17:58:31 UTC

Giveaway: Mary's Gone Crackers
A few months ago, Mary Waldner — creator of the Mary's Gone Crackers snack line — spoke with me about what inspired her to create her popular line of organic, vegan, non-GMO, and gluten-free snacks, and why avoiding genetically modified ingredients is so important for her as a manufacturer.
In case you're not familiar with Mary's Gone Crackers, they provide a unique spin on common snacks.
Their crackers are made from a combination of brown rice, quinoa, sesame seeds, and flax, and are great for snacking and dipping. Their cookies are not cloyingly sweet, contain spices instead of flavorings (their ginger cookies, for example, list 'ginger root' as an ingredient), and are made with chia seeds, coconut oil (instead of the commonly-used corn or soybean), and several gluten-free flours.
This month, two lucky Small Bites readers will score some Mary's Gone Crackers loot.
- Prize #1: 1 box of "love cookies" (flavors), 1 box of crackers (flavors), 1 bag of pretzel "twigs" (flavors)

Wrestling MarketWatch: WWE Hall of Fame 2017
This is not the first time that the WWE Hall of Fame and our recurring Wrestling MarketWatch feature have come together. The last time was in 2013 for the Hall of Fame ceremony that I had the honor of attending in person. I'm still biased toward that class, headlined by Bruno Sammartino, as being the best, but 2017 is very solid. The names include Kurt Angle, The Rock N Roll Express, Teddy Long, Diamond Dallas Page, Ravishing Rick Rude, and Beth Phoenix. All of the stars have plenty of memorabilia, and as always in MarketWatch we're about to take a look at the recent auction selling prices for some of those items.
*Holla Holla Holla! Teddy "Peanuthead" Long has had a long career in the business performing just about every duty aside from being an actual wrestler. I was always a fan of Long as a manager in WCW. When his run there came to an end, I never imagined that he would almost completely restart in WWE, but after a return to refereeing Long once again became a villainous manager. Arguably, Long's biggest fame came as the long-reigning general manager of Smackdown. His best piece of merchandise commemorates that run, in the form of a Mattel WWE Build-A-Figure. That figure, with all pieces included, has been selling for an average of $30.
*When you're talking the tag team ranks, you have to mention Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson. The Rock N Roll Express have been thrilling fans for over three decades with no end in sight. If you haven't heard a pop for the "R N R X" with your own ears, what are you waiting for? Their battles with the Midnight Express are legendary, but it always seemed that manager Jim Cornette was their true nemesis. One of the biggest highlights of Mania weekend will be seeing, and hearing, Cornette induct Morton and Gibson into the Hall of Fame. As for merchandise, the Express saw loads of it. Their only action figures came under the Jakks WWE Classic Superstars banner. Notorious for having the boys hair colors swapped, the figures are still high in demand. A carded set recently sold for $140.
*A long time coming, the WWE Hall of Fame is about to get a Rude Awakening. Posthumously, Ravishing Rick Rude will be inducted this year by WCW nemesis Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat. Rude is still rather underrated in my book. Do enough searching and you can watch his work in and out of the ring get better and better as he floats from the territories, Jim Crockett Promotions, WWF, and WCW. His WWF-era promos were as believable as any wrestler to come along, despite the over-the-top gimmick. That gimmick has given way to a number of great action figures. Even though the first was more of a statue than a figure, it's part of the infamous WWF Wrestling Superstars '89 series, the last group of the legendary LJN line. That figure recently sold out of package for $87.
It's a stellar group of names that actually fills some gaps that fans have complaining about for awhile now. Will Cornette's return open the door for a Midnight Express induction in 2018? Will Angle make an impact on WWE's future? Will Theodore R. Long book a tag team match? There's only one way to find out, playa.

Do you need earthquake insurance?
Millions of Americans live in a region where the ground can begin to shake at any moment.
The top 10 states for earthquakes are:
1. Alaska
2. California
3. Hawaii
4. Nevada
5. Washington
6. Idaho
7. Wyoming
8. Montana
9. Utah
10. Oregon
However, homeowners often are surprised to learn that a standard home insurance policy does not cover earthquakes, says Pete Moraga, a spokesman for the Insurance Information Network of California (IINC).
A 2008 IINC poll of California residents highlights the problem.
"We found that 31 percent of homeowners said they have earthquake coverage," he says.
In fact, IINC statistics showed that at that time, just 13 percent of California homeowners actually had this coverage.
"Clearly, some homeowners thought they had the coverage when they didn't," Moraga says.
Do you need coverage?
Several factors impact your risk of damage from an earthquake. According to the California Earthquake Authority (CEA), they include:
1. Where you live in relation to earthquake faults.
2. The age and type of dwelling you live in.
3. The soil type where you live.
Everyone knows the risk in California, but Alaskans face even greater odds of being shaken by an earthquake, according to the U.S. Department of the Interior.
In fact, the state known as "The Last Frontier" accounts for more than 50 percent of all quakes in the United States, and the number is likely underreported, according to the Interior Department.
And as the East Coast found out in a 2011 earthquake centered in Virginia, few regions are immune. In fact, earthquakes have occurred in 39 states, and damages associated with earthquakes have affected all 50 states, according to the III.
"The most severe earthquake in U.S. history occurred in 1811 in Missouri," Barry says, referring to the famed series of New Madrid earthquakes that struck the Midwest.
As a result, Missouri residents must purchase earthquake coverage "at rates higher than almost any other state," Barry says.
Despite the risk in California, only 11.3 percent of Golden State residents purchase earthquake coverage, according to the state's Department of Insurance.
Pomeroy believes there are many reasons that Californians do not buy earthquake insurance despite the risks.
"It can cost more than the underlying homeowner's coverage, and that's for an event that's very infrequent," he says.
How much does earthquake insurance cost?
An earthquake can significantly damage or even level your home. It also can toss around and destroy personal possessions.
Earthquake coverage reimburses any such losses caused by "earth movement," says Michael Barry, spokesman at the nonprofit Insurance Information Institute (III).
Losses that result from certain secondary events triggered by a quake – such as a fire ignited by a burst gas pipe, or flooding resulting from broken water pipes – are covered by home insurance policies in most states, he says.
Earthquake insurance is available as a separate standalone policy, or as an endorsement to your homeowner's insurance policy. Typically, an endorsement will provide an amount of coverage equivalent to that of the rest of your home insurance policy.
The premium you pay for earthquake coverage depends on several factors. You will pay a lot more in parts of the country with a high risk for earthquakes.
The age of a home also impacts costs. Wood frame structures generally cost less to insure than brick buildings because the former have more flexibility and hold up better in earthquakes.
Premium costs are calculated on a "per $1,000 basis," according to the III. A frame house in the Pacific Northwest might cost $1 to $3 per $1,000 of coverage, while the same house on the East Coast might cost less than 50 cents per $1,000 to insure, the III says.
Meanwhile, a brick house in the Pacific Northwest would cost between $3 to $15 per $1,000, while the East Coast version could be insured for between 60 cents and 90 cents.
Earthquake insurance in California
If you live in California, you can get earthquake coverage through the California Earthquake Authority (CEA).
The CEA was created in 1996 in the wake of the 1994 Northridge earthquake centered near Los Angeles that damaged many residential areas and triggered many home insurance claims.
"Insurers got their clocks cleaned," says Glenn Pomeroy, CEO of the CEA. "Something like $14 billion was paid out."
For decades, California law has required all homeowner's insurance companies to offer earthquake insurance to policyholders. Rather than face the prospect of more losses after Northridge, insurers began pulling out of the state market altogether.
The CEA was created as a publicly managed, mostly privately funded way for homeowners to protect their properties. Home insurance companies that participate in the CEA offer earthquake coverage, and the CEA bears the risk.
The CEA says it is the only entity of its kind in the country that provides earthquake insurance in this manner.
Currently, the CEA has more than 800,000 policies in force, which represents about 70 percent of the state's residential earthquake policies. The remainder of earthquake insurance policies in California is sold directly by insurers.
In 2011, the average annual CEA earthquake premium was $744.57, according to the California Department of Insurance.
Percentage deductibles
Earthquake coverage often comes with a "percentage deductible." That means instead of paying a standard deductible of $500 or $1,000, you pay a percentage of your home's insured value.
Percentage deductibles for earthquake coverage range between 2 percent and 20 percent of a home's replacement value, according to III. Some states with higher risks of earthquakes – including Nevada, Utah and Washington – set minimum deductibles of about 10 percent, III says.
The standard percentage deductible for a CEA policy in California is 15 percent, although homeowners willing to pay higher premiums can get a 10 percent deductible.
Moraga has words of wisdom for people who balk at buying earthquake coverage because they feel the deductible is too high:
"Without an earthquake policy, the deductible is 100 percent," Moraga says.

Bullets from the Revolution
Every year Bexar County offers free weddings on the courthouse steps at midnight on Valentine's Day. This tradition dates back to 1989, begun by Joe Sullivan, pastor of the non-denominational Little Church on the River and the All-Believers Chuch, both in San Antonio. A former Air Force Engineer, he has married over 8,000 people, most of them via his Valentine's Day specials. Last night he encountered something new. One of my best friends, and one of my heroes, John Dean Domingue, organized a passel of same-sex couples to attend, knowing, of course, they could not get licenses, but wanting to demonstrate their love for each other, and partake in a little specialness for Valentine's. They were instructed beforeheand that this was about love, and to not make a scene, not to hurt the joy and celebrations of the other couples who would be present. They had done this last year, but with fewer couples and less fanfare as i understand it. Things changed last night. About a dozen same-sex couples, intending to stand for marriage, lined up on the steps with perhaps 75 other couples. A similar contingent of same-sex couples were in the crowd in support. It was an exuberant and joyous crowd, with no tension that i could detect, a little tittering as folks began to understand what the crowd of folks with multi-colored balloons represented. But as i wandered through and about the crowd, playing the dutiful photographer, i did not hear one single word of ugliness or hatred from anyone in the crowd, period. I took a lot of pics of straight couples and mixed couples and same sex couples, and never did i detect any ugliness. Until Pastor Joe Sullivan took the microphone to address the crowd and marry the couples. First he tried to shoo the same-sex couples off the steps of the courthouse. Not a one budged, nor said anything, nor argued, nor raised a ruckus . . . nor did any of the straight couples, no one yelled, or shoved, or made a scene. Everyone just waited, arm in arm, hand in hand, all stripes and persuasions. Pastor Joe said several times that only God could marry people, people couldn't marry people, and that those were defying God and taking his name in vain by pledging themselves to marriage would face damnation . . . and then brought people right back into the equation by saying no one could get married without a county-issued license. And still these folks, every one, held their ground . . . peacefully, quietly. They were, quite simply, heroic. The more they looked at peace with themselves and each other, the more Pastor Joe condemned them. I cannot imagine a display more simultaneously 'Christian' and 'un-Christian' – that great, uniquely American conundrum brought vividly to life. Finally, he just dismissed the same-sex couples as damned, and went about his business of marrying, so sprinkled with bawdyish jokes and hints about the instability of marriage that one wonders if his training came in a nightclub. I don't think anyone expected the ugliness – perhaps being asked to move, perhaps being told that it wasn't legal, perhaps even being 'teased' by parts of the crowd, but the sheer meanness i think came as a surprise. And as badly as he attempted to ruin, perhaps did ruin, the night for the same-sex couples, i think he also ruined a beautiful night for everyone else, the families there to witness something beautiful, and the joy of the folks there for 'legal' weddings. It sure put a permanent damper on 'my' idea of the 'sanctity' of marriage, whatever that is. And then, it was over. As a consequence of the incitement by Pastor Joe, i expected some shouting matches to happen, some ugliness passed on by some of the straight folks who'd had their night crippled. And perhaps some of that went on, but i, again, didn't hear a single word of it, and i felt i was in the mix enough to have heard it. A rumored 'mass citizen's arrest' by a fundamentalist group didn't materialize. During the bulk of the ceremony, and the crowd gathering leading up to it, almost an hour's worth of everyone mingling, nary a single uniformed cop was present anywhere near the plaza. Likely there were some undercover folks watching and taking notes. Then in the last 15 minutes four cop cars appeared around the perimeter seemingly from nowhere, perhaps summoned by someone fearful of what may transpire after the rabble-rousing. But in the end, all was peaceful, cops bantered among themselves but i saw no one approached by any of them. Instead, everyone went on their way, enjoying their moments with families, posing for pictures in front of the fountain and the courthouse and San Fernando Cathedral . . . people kissing, holding hands, smiling . . . straight, gay, transgender. It was quite a beautiful Valentine's mess of humanity. With the exception of one lone soul, the primary representative of the church in the plaza, all of San Antonio is worthy of a ton of congratulations for their constraint at minimum, their tolerance as well, but i think much more so for the love they exhibited on the one day we celebrate about love. There was an awful lot of love in that place last night, unfettered, it seems, by one man's evil castigations. As John Dean pointed out in interviews ahead of the event, it's appropriate that St. Valentine is a saint for having the temerity and courage to couple folks he was forbidden from marrying. Pastor Joe could learn something from that i suppose.
