Lola fell head overheels for her big cousin Becky. And Becky as usual had all the time in the world for the little ones, reserving a special place for Lola.

Our Tuscan vacation was more than I ever could have hoped for. This scene sums up most of our evenings, eating, drinking wine and catching up whilst keeping an ear out that none of the kids was any where near the pool!
In the mornings we'd head out to a local town/village and have a stroll about, stop for lunch, eat way too much, then drive back home so kids could nap and we could jump into the pool! Evenings we ate in - just easier with 6 kids under 11 running around exhausted!
I can't begin to say how great it was for the cousins to spend that time together, for me to spend that time with my brothers and their lovely wives. It was good timing for everyone and so everyone put their best foot forward. It was amazing really, when you think of it how well we all did get along. My brothers and I haven't spent that much time together for years - but some how it all just worked.

Despite the state's ongoing fiscal crisis, one cherished perk for Illinois legislators and other state officials is still flying high.
State planes flying over fiscal woes
Illinois shuttle duplicates ATA service
Use of a state-run, heavily subsidized air shuttle between Springfield and Chicago is running well ahead of last year as more agency heads and Gov. Rod Blagojevich himself shift operations away from the state capital. Most users of the state's Beech King Air 350 twin-turboprop aircraft are constitutional officers, legislators, agency directors and aides to the governor.
With three round trips a day, five days a week, high-ranking frequent fliers on the state's nine-seat shuttle save time and hassles by eliminating early check-in requirements and long waits in security lines. But those conveniences cost taxpayers money.
Started more than two decades ago when commercial commuter service to Chicago was unreliable, the shuttle now flies to Midway Airport almost wingtip-to-wingtip with five round trips a day offered by low-fare carrier ATA Airlines, whose fares are often far below the state's costs for a round-trip flight.
ATA's rates start at $185.91 round-trip, substantially less than the shuttle's $258.99-per-passenger operating cost, which a spokesman for the Illinois Department of Transportation notes is about $15 below ATA's highest fare of $274 for state employees.
Altogether, the service cost the state $1.1 million to operate last year, a figure that includes fuel, maintenance and pilot salaries, but not the overall expense of running the state's aviation operations, such as the cost of buying four King Air 350 planes, one of which is used for the shuttle service.
Many states provide planes on demand for governors and other high-ranking officials, but Illinois is unusual in running a regularly scheduled shuttle service for a broad range of state officials.
"I don't know of any other states that do that," says Henry Ogrodzinski, president of the National Assn. of State Aviation Officials, a lobbying and educational group in Silver Spring, Md.
California doesn't even provide a plane for the governor. Arnold Schwarzenegger, elected last year, uses a Gulfstream jet he pays for himself, according to Terry Barrie, senior transportation planner for the state's Division of Aeronautics.
Even as it casts about for ways to plug budget shortfalls, Illinois legislators are in no hurry to scrutinize the shuttle. A resolution calling for a cost-benefit analysis of the operation has been bottled up in committee since last year.

For a variety of roof racks.To ensure fitment, be sure to measure the diameter of your tubing before ordering. If you order the wrong size, you will be responsible for shipping back to us BEFORE we send you another set (in which you will also have to pay $8 shipping again too).
We suggest getting a 3 pack if you have a larger awning such as ARB 2500 to ensure proper weight distribution.
Please note if you have a roof top tent on your roof rack, these clamps may possibly not fit, or the items you are mounting may not clear your tent if it is a larger model. We cannot cover the costs of a return label and refund the original shipping if a fitment issue arises. Many customers use my products with RTTs, but given the variables of different vehicles, racks, and tents; it may not always work.
Only offered in regular coat black anodizing. Anodizing can fade over time. You can apply some wax or UV coat regularly to help prevent fading. Tumbled to remove machine marks for the perfect finish.
2 Pack:
3 Pack:
Your awning should have included fasteners to attach to these mounts.
6061-T6511 USA aluminum.
Designed and machined in the USA.
Like the other reviews say, these mounts are well made, look good, and work great.
Great product and shipped and arrived quickly. Love it
Awesome product and very robust!
These are the best mounts for your awning, period. I run a Gobi Stealth Rack and they work seamlessly. Top notch quality product and great customer service. Super easy install as well.
These clamps were ordered so that I could mount my ARB Awning to my Gobi stealth rack. These were perfect! They hold tight and look solid.
Well what can I say, we needed a tubular awning bracket for a Safety Devices roofrack on a Defender90 I couldn't find anything suitable in the UK so measured the tube and shipped these over we have just fitted them and they are bang on the money! Well crafted too, thanks a lot.
As usual, the awning mounts work perfectly. Every mount that I have purchased has been superb.
Finally got to install these and get my awning up. They fit and work perfect! Great light weight design!!
This is my second vehicle putting these mounts on a Gobi. Only thing to say is these are the best awning mounts out there, period. They are designed well, great coating, discreet and set the awning close to the rack unlike a lot of other brackets/mounts out there. I used to manage a retail store in the industry, we didn't even sell them but I've recommended them to about 20 or more different people and wouldn't even sell them other major brands out there, thanks again Greg, you rock!!

Native Son
"Native Son challenges society to stop objectifying Black culture, showing how worshiping it can be just as dehumanizing as loathing or fearing it."
Title: Native Son
Director: Rashid Johnson 👨🏾🇺🇸
Writers: Screenplay by Suzan-Lori Parks 👩🏾🇺🇸 based on the original novel by Richard Wright 👨🏾🇺🇸
Reviewed by Li 👩🏻🇺🇸
Technical: 4/5
Native Son popped my Sundance cherry. 🍒 It was the first film I saw on my first trip to any film festival ever, and I'm happy it was Rashid Johnson's adaptation because a lot of it worked for me. The tonal eccentricity; the opaque characters you have to work at figuring out; the local specificity of Chicago; and the grandiosity that lets you know you're not just watching a movie—all these things helped deliver a personal milestone that I'm happy to frame and put on the wall.
I'm not sure whether reading the original novel by Richard Wright from 1940 would have changed my perspective, and if you're wondering about that too, plenty of reviews examine Johnson's film from that very lens. But from someone who had no idea what to expect, Native Son burst out of the gate with a heady mix of slick styling and thematic muscle.
In the center of this vortex, exciting new(-ish) actor Ashton Sanders entrances as the tortured protagonist, Bigger Thomas. His wide but haunted eyes counter an air of slouched adolescence, the full effect jumbled into a wise, yet naive package that lends itself perfectly to the oncoming tragedy that hits him like a bus midway through the film.
Unfortunately, that's precisely where things go awry. I could handle the halting pace, and I was happy to guess at Bigger's psyche for the first half of the film, which feels amusingly glib as he flits between home and various Chicago locales clad in black leather and bright green hair, listening to classical music. Throughout these scenes, it's fun to try and see what makes the man tick, and to assume that esteemed playwright Suzan-Lori Parks (who wrote the screenplay) will walk you towards an affecting resolution.
But when Bigger performs a major, dramatic act later in the film, tethered by no rhyme or reason, I was woken from the crafted dream rather than sucked into its undertow. I'd taken for granted that Bigger was a rational creature. But once his motivations stop making sense, the entire foundation liquefies and all we're left with is confusion.
It's with that lingering sense of "What just happened?" that we finish the movie, and I only wish I could entreaty Johnson and Parks for just a bit more glue between the film's disparate parts. I love a mystery, but not when its stepping stones lead you off a narrative cliff.
Gender: 2.5/5
Does it pass the Bechdel Test? YES, but barely
I've seen Native Son compared to Boots Riley's Sorry to Bother You (2018), the two sharing off-the-wall artistry and Black male leads who defy stereotypes. But I'll add one more similarity: The two films sideline girlfriends played by actors capable of so much more.
In Native Son, Kiki Layne plays Bessie and while she does enjoy a bit more realness than the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope that Tessa Thompson portrays in Sorry to Bother You, she simply doesn't see enough screen time to feel like more than an accessory. The film barely even passes the Bechdel Test, and when it does it's only because Bigger's rich employer, the college-aged Mary Dalton (Margaret Qualley), has dragged them on a double date with her and her boyfriend and starts off by asking Bessie about herself.
These two women do play pivotal roles, but we never get the sense that the filmmakers care about them as individuals. They push the plot along, sacrificing their own emotional and physical well-beings to serve the broader goal of rendering Bigger's story arc and characterization.
Race: 5/5
Here's another Sorry to Bother You parallel: Both films present a moral choice to their Black leads. Do you perform whiteness to survive in a society that fears your skin color? Or do you stay true to yourself and consequently lose access to resources or even jeopardize your physical safety?
While Sorry to Bother You presents this dichotomy with relish, told through dark surrealism and absurdist humor, Native Son harnesses the same dilemma to deliver a tragic drama and thriller. They showcase the inner turmoil that comes with having to maintain double consciousness, a term W.E.B. Du Bois first coined in 1903 that describes the exhausting mental process of navigating a majority space as a minority individual.
In this case, Bigger is forced between earning money the admittedly stereotypical "Black" way—helping his friend rob a convenience store—or taking the demeaning job of donning white gloves as he caters to the whims of the Daltons, a rich and wannabe "woke" family. Even before we meet the patriarch Henry Dalton (Bill Camp), the mere waiting room of Bigger's job interview foretells the insidiousness of him choosing the latter path, of assimilating into white culture. Ethnic objets d'art and paintings grace every corner of the house, including an abstract nude of a Black woman that hammers home the fetishistic way the Daltons see people of color.
The film goes on to probe the idea of problematic white allies, to an even deeper extent than Jordan Peele does in Get Out (2017) which posed, for me at least, the first mainstream depiction of fake allies. The Daltons are smarter than that—Mary would never say to Bigger's face that she would vote for Obama a third time if she could. But she does get overly defensive after asking where Bigger would be traveling to for the summer, and he jokes about not exactly owning a summer home. "Wouldn't it be worse if I just assumed?" she gripes, crossing her arms over her knees as her boyfriend, Bigger, and Bessie laugh at her on the beach. Not just here, but time and time again we see Mary and her boyfriend bring up topics of race unprompted, as they force themselves into Black spaces through coercing Bigger into the role of a cultural tour guide. As someone in their employ, Bigger can't exactly say no, and so they push and push themselves into his safe spaces until he breaks.
This multilayered messaging makes Native Son one of the latest in a stream of films from Black directors that challenge society to stop objectifying Black culture, showing how even worshiping it can be just as dehumanizing as loathing or fearing it. Whether it's Get Out with its translation of this phenomenon into literal horror, or Native Son that shows the traumatic effects of being owned and manipulated, it's exciting and a privilege to watch these films unpack a very complicated issue.
Mediaversity Grade: B- 3.83/5
Native Son starts with nothing but potential. But between the massive talent of Johnson and Parks, something gets lost in translation. The film never reaches the heights it sets out to achieve, and women are again frustratingly disrespected in order to further a man's story.
When it hits HBO on April 6th, however, I'd still highly recommend a viewing. In the ongoing conversation surrounding race and its more squirrely incarnations of cultural appropriation or false allyship, Native Son gives us plenty to think about and wraps it all in a visually sultry package that entices, but never quite satisfies.

I play on an older laptop that was able to hold its own until the Cosmic update, now it starts slow and gets progressively slower, and ends up lagged out at around 1 frame per second. This happens as early as ten cycles into the game. Unfortunately this makes it unplayable. Prior to the update I was playing a 600+ cycle game, so it is a recent thing. Are the any optimizations on the way? Are there any adjustments for crappy computers I am missing (such as unloading hidden areas)? I have Core email@example.com with 8G RAM). Odd trivia bit, the character animation speed remains the same regardless of speed game speed setting.
Love the game and am disappointed I cant get to the surface to try out the new stuff, especially the solar panels (as a sustainability engineer, I was really looking forward to those). Help!

The government is currently losing a war – a long slow war of attrition. I don't mean the constant flow of voters, councillors, members and activists from the Tories to Ukip. It's a far less publicised struggle, and one that is far more damaging for the Tories – their battle with the disability movement.
In all his fanfare about "welfare reform", Iain Duncan Smith has lost connection with reality. Universal credit is his flagship programme. When he announced it in 2011 he promised that by the beginning of September 2.5 million people would be on it, receiving "universal credit in place of jobseeker's allowance, employment support allowance, housing benefit, working tax credit and child tax credit". The actual figure? It's 8,500. At this rate, it would take 3,000 years to transfer the entire caseload.
What is astonishing is neither the brass neck of Duncan Smith nor his sheer incompetence, but the fact that this is nowhere close to the biggest Department for Work and Pensions failure. For that we must turn to the key disability benefits – employment and support allowance (ESA) and personal independence payment (PIP). The first is merely a disaster, the second is a tragedy for claimants.
ESA – the successor to invalidity benefit and incapacity benefit – has long been a target of cross-party reform. Reform that worked because its focus was getting people into work by diverting them before they landed on the benefit itself. This was successful and as the flow of new claimants fell, the pool of current claimants gradually fell too.
Successful change in social security is always slow and gradual. Duncan Smith thought otherwise – he decided to test every single ESA claimant and, in effect, drive them off the benefit or into work. Knowing DWP civil servants didn't have the capacity to execute his plans, he adopted his characteristic approach. He gave an impossible task to the private sector. Atos was the mug that took on the project – one it has been unable to deliver, ultimately because of the policy – which is why, sensibly, it is handing back the keys to the DWP. No one can do the job Duncan Smith wants done because the disability movement has got his number.
Essentially, the Tories have organised the unorganisable. People who are long-term sick and disabled have never before had unity or solidarity. Those with physical disabilities or mental health problems have, but not the claimants with the lingering ailments that have kept them out of work. But faced with the new tests, they have fought back. Talk to frontline Atos workers, or to the Atos doctors, and one message comes through strongly – claimants know the system, the tests and the questions better than they do. The result? A "reform" designed to drive down numbers claiming ESA has led to the first increase in numbers for a decade. Some reform. And it has left around 700,000 people waiting for an ESA assessment.
But even that's not the worst failure. The government's replacement for disability living allowance (DLA) – PIP – was introduced in April last year. Since then, only 84,000 of 349,000 new claims have had a decision made. Not surprising when you investigate. DLA was an excellent benefit – brought in by the Tory minister Tony Newton – designed to meet, only partially, the additional costs of disability. It's paid to you whether you are in work or not because the additional costs of disability are always there. PIP's purpose – explicitly stated by the coalition – is to cut spend by 20%. No argument that the need is illusory. No pretence that there's cheating. Just a cut – plain and simple.
This cannot hold. Over a quarter of a million claimants are getting nothing because their claims haven't been assessed – a number equivalent to the population of Derby.
Add to that the ESA backlog and you get nearly a million – a city almost as big as Birmingham. That's the number of people locked out of their rights, with more to come – the Tories want to tackle all DLA claimants after the next election.
The first casualty has been Atos and Duncan Smith wants it to take the blame. But the people cutting disability benefits are the government, not the hired help. And it's the government that the disability movement has in its sights. The question is – will mainstream politics notice?

Chapter 29: VACAYYY
OK, sorry we didnt post for the last two weeks, we had some major secrets to keep, and we were crazy busy. We didn't go home for christmas because flights were so expensive, so we decided to go for a visit this last week. Being the sneaky sons of guns we are we decided to keep it a surprise to my best friend. She was home that week as well and my sister was planning her bridal shower. In reality I was planning it with her, and Krista had no idea I would be there for it. We flew out Wednesday afternoon, after Uber-ing to the airport with Gus Portokalos from My Big Fat Greek wedding. He was hilarious, talking about how french is easy because "...it all comes from Greek! Seriously, almost all the words come from Greek." Pretty much the game Gus Portokalos plays in the movie ("give me a word, any word, and I will show you how it comes from Greek.") So that kind of made up for how slightly violent and racist he got later in the trip.
After getting to the airport, we were congratulating ourselves on how smoothly everything was going... and then somehow we both got "randomly selected" for increased security checks. I've never experienced that before, and even though I knew I had nothing to hide it was pretty nerve wracking! Everything was fine (of course) but apparently the x-ray machine shows areas of "potential suspicion" and that just so happened to be Steven's.. um.. crotch area? Haha it was pretty funny. Suspicious crotch ;)
We landed in Vancouver at 8:40 pm, played with the kittens who stole our hearts, and then went out for Pho with Steven's parents - Jean and Steve. We had a great time and loved the Pho, its been way too long. We crashed pretty quickly after getting home.
Thursday we made some fail pancakes, and then we went to the beach! I cried real literal tears of joy when we got to the beach. I had nearly cried just seeing the ocean from the plane, so walking across the sand towards those waves rolling in on Spanish Banks Beach tipped me over the edge. I had tears running freely down my face and wasn't able to control it. I am still and apparently will always be an island girl at heart. We walked on the beach as clouds flitted across the sun, it was a day I wanted to bottle and keep forever.
Too soon we had to leave. Met up with one of our best friends Michael and went to one of our favourite hipster restaurant Chow Veggie Express :D It was amazing. You're going to hear a lot about food during this trip. We pretty much did a tour of our favourite food spots in Van and stuffed ourselves haha.
Eventually Michael and Steven got me to the ferry, and I cant believe how much I LOVED that ferry ride. I checked my luggage, so I was able to go out on the deck and watch as the sun set and the wind blew away the clouds. Mom picked me up on the other side and took me straight to the Schmidt's (where Krista was staying). We were coordinating with Laurie, so that when we got there Krista was downstairs. I snuck into the house, and hid behind the kitchen island. Then Laurie yelled downstairs for Krista saying that my mom (Laurie's bff) was over and wanted to say hi. Krista came upstairs and walked towards mom, and just as she was passing by the island I popped up like a daisy. My cheery HI! was quickly drowned by a scream and then muffled by a giant hug. She had NO idea - SUCCESS!!
Friday I spent running some errands and spending time with Krista Laurie and mom. We picked up Carolyn from the ferry in Victoria and were all reunited. It was really nice to see her again too.
We had the day scheduled down to the minute Friday, and we only just were able to pull it all together. We took over the Schmidts house to decorate at 9 am. By 11:30 we were home again and gave ourselves exactly 15 minutes to get pretty. We may not have been 100% successful, but we stuck to our 15 minutes which im pretty proud of. Grandma and Grandpa showed up, with pizza! Such life savers. We somehow pulled the food all together in one hour, loaded up the van, and got it all to the Schmidts. We had made Pink chocolate covered popcorn and pink Candy popcorn, little sandwiches, meatballs, and of course lots of tarts, brownies, veggies and fruits.
I worked on getting everything layed out and keeping it stocked up while Carolyn played host. She did a great job of shepherding people and of being MC for the games she had planned. I had to leave a little early (during the gifts) to make the ferry which was too bad, but it was so worth it. We had a blast and there were so many people there supporting Krista. It made me feel so happy for her!
Steven picked me up from the airport, we got sushi to take on the plane the next day, and got back to Steven's parent's house. We had a big family dinner, with good food, people and conversation. We ended up staying up super late, so we got only like 4 hours sleep, before we had to get up and get to the airport.
Thats really only a fraction of what we did, but those are a few of the highlights from me. Here's what steven got up to!
love, Heather
After dropping Heather off at the ferry terminal I met up with one of my best friends Tevis at the rock climbing gym who I hadn't seen for a year and a half while he was in Korea and I was in Montreal. It was so good to see him. He's gotten so good at climbing since I've been gone so it was super intimidating. He killed a 5.11c while we were there and I took an epic fall lead climbing a 5.10c. I probably fell 10 feel and when the rope finally caught me Tevis and I were staring at one another face to face. It was quite the epic fall - one where everyone turns to look and it just happened to be right in the centre of the gym. Apparently, I'm not afraid of falling..
After climbing we met up with some more of my best and oldest friends Jessie and Sam for some sushi!!! I got a good ol' Bento box which surprisingly, I haven't seen any of since I've been in Montreal. It's actually shocking how cheap sushi is in Van compared to Montreal. Both times we ate sushi here we spent just over $15 and it was more than enough food. I already miss it..
I had probably one of the most active weekends of the year. When we were planning our trip home my brother called me and said, I know you're only in town for a limited amount of time but hear me out, ski trip all day followed by dinner and video games. Who can say no to that?
Friday I was picked up bright and early by my brother Joseph and his wife. We had initially planned to hit Whistler but decided that the hills would murder me so we went to Cypress which opened for one last day of the season the Friday we were home. #providence
It was such a fantastic trip!!! Just to remind you, I have a whole two days experience downhill skiing, so when we got to the hill Joe and Felicia spent the good part of the first hour running me through a crash course to help me refine my technique. After that Felicia went off to go conquer a black diamond and Joe stayed to babysit me down the green run Collins.
On my third or fourth run down Collins I was feeling pretty confident with my speed and technique and was going pretty fast down the hill when a snow boarder cut in front of me. I was already hugging the shoulder of the run but I tried to go farther out to the left and plowed straight in to the bamboo posts on the edge of the run. I went straight through them and tumbled out on the other side but quickly realized I had lost my left ski and pole in the process. When I ran back to the edge of the run that I had plowed through I looked over the edge and saw my ski precariously teetering about three feet over the edge and below was a little stream. I barely managed to reach over and grab it with the help of the snowboarder and a passing skier but it was definitely a close call.
After that Joe convinced me to upgrade to a blue run called Humpty Dumpty. It gets it's name from all the moguls. I had never done moguls so you can imagine it was quite the struggle at first but I just forced myself into it and figured it out! There definitely was no absence of falls but I managed to catch a few of the good ones an the GoPro strapped to my chest. After Humpty Dumpty we found out that Felicia had killed the black diamond run! All in all, we all had some pretty huge accomplishments - I upgraded to a blue apline skier, Felicia upgraded to a black diamond and Joe got lost in the glades for half an hour. We finished the day with some Mediterranean food and some co-op Halo.
The next day I got to spend the morning at the billiards with my dad. He's quite the pool shark. We spent the first two games with me remembering how to play but it was a fun competition after that. My shot of the day was when dad had his back tucked in the corner pocket with my bad sitting right in front of it. I managed to get the cue ball in, knock my ball away and nuzzle the cue ball right next to his sitting on the edge of the hole. Dad got some pretty fancy shots in while we were there. Some cue behind the back shots, across the table shots and so impressive precision shots. It's always a great time playing pool with dad.
That night I picked Heather up from the ferry, we bought some sushi and had a big family dinner at my parents place. Everyone was there apart from my oldest sister and her husband who weren't able to make it up from Seattle for the weekend but it was a great time!
The next morning I got up with the sun to go for a walk with my mom, talk about life, love and change and then rushed off to the airport for our flight home. There's so much more to talk about but it's getting late and we still haven't recovered entirely from jetlag. Till next time Vancouver, we miss you dearly!
Love, Steven

August 9-11, 2019 | Telluride, Colorado
The Telluride Jazz Festival returns for its 43rd year on August 9-11, 2019 with renewed energy after a highly successful year in 2018. With official dates set for the celebration of live music, art, yoga, music education and outdoor recreation, the new year is set to build upon the positive growth and momentum.
Ranking as one of the most scenic music events in the world, The Telluride Jazz Festival has brought people from around the world for over four decades. The combination of the intimate festival format, endless alpine recreational activities, world-class music and legendary shows in historic venues offers an immersive live music experience unlike any other. Join us this summer and experience a truly one-of-a-kind event.
Here are the top 10 reasons why the Telluride Jazz Festival should be on your 2019 summer calendar.
1. The Town
Telluride is strategically located in a box canyon nestled among the majestic 13,000 foot peaks of the San Juan Mountains in southwest Colorado. Easily accessed trail systems deliver you to high alpine lakes, rivers, and campgrounds throughout the 160 thousand acres of pristine wilderness in the region. This beautiful mountain retreat is the ultimate outdoor destination, complete with world class recreational offerings.
2. The Views
The natural beauty from Main Street in Telluride is breathtaking. Because of its significant role in American Western history, the core area of Telluride was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1964. This listing is the highest level of status available from the United States Secretary of the Interior. These sites are so special that they are eligible for consideration to become national parks. A stroll through the town will help convince you of this fact. With the colorful Victorian-era homes, clapboard storefronts, boutiques, art galleries, gourmet restaurants, historic buildings and more, Telluride is a delight to explore.
3. The Outdoors
The abundance of recreational activities in Telluride's alpine environment are limitless. Hiking, Biking, Swimming, Kayaking, Stand Up Paddle Boarding, 4x4 Off-Road Drives and more are all accessible from your doorstep. If you're up for adventure, there are plenty of beautiful hiking trails including five waterfalls that that can all be easily enjoyed via short hikes directly from downtown Telluride. For a list of Telluride activities, click here.
4. The Festival
Under the new management since 2017, the enhanced Festival experience is set to provide a better rounded weekend. Attend as a Patron or VIP and get styled like never before!
The Patron Experience is by far the best way to attend the Telluride Jazz Festival! With an on-stage seated viewing area (limited) and catered meals with the artists backstage, Patron pass-holders will be treated to a weekend of world-class music, decadent food and drinks all surrounded by the unparalleled views of Telluride Town Park.
The Telluride Jazz Festival VIP Experience features an exclusive VIP area inside the Festival grounds with a covered, heated lounge with unobstructed stage views, seating in front of the stage, a hosted bar with beer, select wine and specialty cocktails, private, up-scale restrooms and more! VIP Passes go on sale February 1, 2019. Click here for ticket info.
5. Festival Events
In addition to the world class music on the Main Stage, the Telluride Jazz Festival has plenty to keep you entertained. From interactive artist performances on the Society Stage at Elks Park, to a Kids Area and so much more, there's something for everyone. On Sunday morning, join the Festival staff, attendees and a couple of brass bands at Elks Park for a Second Line Parade down Main Street all the way to Telluride Town Park where the Main Stage entertainment begins. Colorful floats, costumes, beads and decorations are all welcome and encouraged as attendees join in on the march through town. For more Festival events info, click here.
6. The Late Night Shows
After the music ends in Town Park for the evening, we move the festival scene into various music venues located throughout the town of Telluride. This late night series is called "Jazz After Dark" and, once they get jamming, a walk down Main Street feels like a walk down Frenchmen Street in New Orleans. See them all - one Jazz After Dark pass allows entry into three different shows! Artists and venue information will be announced soon. For more info, click here.
Night owls can enjoy an additional show at the Liberty Sessions after the Jazz After Dark shows. Admission is free!
7. The Food
Some of the country's most celebrated chefs now call Telluride home. In fact, Condé Nast readers ranked Telluride in their Top 20 List of Best American Cities for Foodies. And Fodor's ranked Telluride in the Top 10. The best part about all this collection of chefs and foodies is that Telluride's award winning restaurants are all located within walking distance. For a list of dining options in town, click here.
Sample dishes from a variety of local chefs and dine backstage with the Patron Experience! New for 2019, the Patron Opening Reception on Thursday, August 8 will be hosted in collaboration with the celebrated "Top Chef and Taste of Telluride".

8. The Gondola
The towns of Telluride and Mountain Village are linked by a spectacular, 13-minute ride on a FREE gondola—the first and only free public transportation system of its kind in the United States. This popular scenic attraction provides access to hiking and biking trails in the summertime. A ride on the "G" is an absolute must during a visit to Telluride.
9. Telluride Historical Museum

Tea was brought to China from India several millennia ago. Little
was known about tea in China until the 3rd century CE. By the 6th
century, during the Tang Dynasty, tea was being enjoyed by all
classes of people for its medicinal value. However, many enjoyed
tea for its satisfying taste – a drink worthy of any connoisseur.
According to records, tea was imported into Japan in 805 CE; for a
brief period of approximately two hundred years, tea was popular
with the Heian Court. However, tea and other Chinese influences
were gradually turned away from as Japan sought to define its own
Tea was then reintroduced from China in the 11th century by a Zen Priest named Eisai. He planted tea
seeds in the area of Uji, south of Kyoto and the area remains to this day a major center of tea production.
The procedures for the serving of tea (primarily in the Chinese style) were developed and codified over the
next two centuries by the priests and the nobility. Their use of large ostentatious rooms for the serving of
tea with expensive imported objects was very popular.
By early 15 CE, the philosophy of tea underwent a major shift. No longer was tea to be seen as a means of
showing your skill and wealth at the expense of the beginner. In its preparation, greater consideration was
placed on foreign and Japanese objects. The history that concerns us most today was brought about by a
distinguished teacher and statesman, Sen No Rikyu (1521-91). Rising up through the merchant classes, he
became the most influential teacher to the upper classes and indeed, everyone was encouraged to 'make
Japan at this time was being torn by civil wars. Sen No Rikyu removed tea from the
superficiality of the militant nobles' grand houses and perfected a simpler tea - "Tea
of the Thatched Hut". The ceremony emphasized quiet contemplation. His
style, called Wabi Cha, used simple native Japanese objects- many of
ordinary household use -a practice unheard of before. He encouraged his
guests to notice the beauty of simple objects. For example, a rice bowl
became a tea bowl; a piece of cut bamboo became a container for flowers.
Above all else, tea was to incorporate his four precepts; Harmony, Respect,
Purity and Tranquility.
'To Sit and Make Tea' is not a religious service but Rikyu included the philosophies of all the
religions he had studied at the time - Buddhism, Shinto, Taoism and Christianity. The practice
of Cha-do became universal but over the next 500 years, it changed to meet the demands
of the times. In the late 1800s when Japan was opening up to the West, the tea masters
realized that foreigners were unable to sit on the floor Japanese style for long periods
of time. Therefore, a simple solution was developed - tables and chairs were used to
serve tea.
Cha-do continues to evolve but at its core, it remains the same philosophical discipline
using the vehicle of tea for the enjoyment and peace of all.

With 7600 kilometers of coastline, Italy is one of Europe's best beach destinations. Though many trips to Italy are planned around cities and monuments, it's worth making a seaside detour during summer months, where you can lounge (and eat!) like a local by the crystal blue waters of the Mediterranean.
One interesting thing about Italy and beach food: it becomes more difficult to find fresh seafood as you venture inland. I spend my summers in the rolling hills of southern Tuscany, less than two hours away from both coasts, but I live in the land of suckling pig, prosciutto, sheep's milk cheese and wild boar. The only time I encounter fresh fish is on Wednesdays at my local osteria, after the fishmonger's van makes its weekly pass through my hill town. When I crave fresh frutti di mare, I hit the road and don't look back until I'm spitting distance from the sea with a fork in my hand.
Like the rest of Italy's complex cuisine, beach food is regional. On the Adriatic, Ionian or Tyrrhenian, you'll find completely different dishes from one rocky cove to the next. Later this week we'll give some Foodie International tips on "how to hit the beach like an Italian," but for now, let's start with ten of my favorite seaside snacks:
10 Foods to Try on Italy's Beaches
1. Grattachecca
(Rome) We might know it as "Italian water ice," but this Roman treat — not to be confused with Sicily's famous granita — is made from hand-shaved ice smothered in sweet, flavored syrup. You can find grattachecca in central Rome, but it's best enjoyed with a sea view. Head out to the city's beaches (we love Fregene, Sperlonga and Maccarese) and flag down a gratachecca vendor pushing his cart along the sand. Pick your poison (syrup flavor/color) for a euro or two, and enjoy the chill of fresh ice while sucking out the syrup like you did when you were a kid.
2. Olive all'ascolana
(Ascoli Piceno) Along the Adriatic Sea, on the coast of Italy's Le Marche region, you'll find one of my favorite fried seaside snacks: olive all'ascolana. Large green olives (typically from the Ascoli area) are pitted, stuffed with ground meat then deep-fried. This savory treat is enjoyed throughout Le Marche, from the "velvet beaches" of Senigallia to the port of Pesaro.
3. Spaghetti ai frutti di mare
(Everywhere) Pasta with mixed seafood (frutti di mare) is the King of Italian beach food. This is what we crave, jumping into our cars and flying down the coastal highways at sunset. Clams, mussels, prawns, squid — whatever seafood is fresh and available — gets thrown into a garlicky white white sauce and tossed with the local pasta. After we clean out every last shell, we dunk hunks of bread into the remaining sauce, soaking up every last drop.
4. Pizza al taglio
(Everywhere) Pizza al taglio was invented in Rome, not to be confused with its round, highbrow Neapolitan cousin. Nothing fancy here, just pizza by the slice, the dough rolled out into long, rectangular pies and baked in a wood-burning oven. When you select your preferred topping, it's custom-cut with scissors — pizza as big as you want it — and weighed. Flat, greasy, salty, and the most amazing thing you may ever eat after a lazy day in the sun.
5. Scampi
Don't let the name fool you. "Scampi" are not shrimp or prawns, nor are they smothered in a garlic and butter sauce. In Italy, scampi are what we know as langoustines, large lobster-like crustaceans, with the sweetest meat imaginable. Scampi alla griglia are a must-eat on the Mediterranean. Order them stuffed with garlic breadcrumbs in Rimini, or go for the sweet and simple approach while overlooking the cliffs of Amalfi: barely brushed with local olive oil and grilled on an open flame.
6. Crudo
I call it the "Italian sashimi." Crudo is an excellent way to enjoy fresh fish, normally sliced and served raw. drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkled with coarse salt and the quick squeeze of a lemon. Pesce spada (swordfish) is a popular choice, so is Sicilian bluefin tuna. Crudo is found in most coastal towns, especially in Sicily and Sardinia, where seafood rules.
7. Arancini
One of my favorite parts of taking the train to Sicily is crossing the Straits of Messina. The train is loaded onto a traghetto — large ferry boat — one car at a time, then sets out on a twenty minute crossing. If you're quick, you can leave your train car, run upstairs and grab an arancino at the bar (never mind the fact that it's probably 5:00AM and you haven't brushed their teeth). These golden fried, breadcrumb-coated rice balls are a Sicilian and southern Italian staple. Sometimes stuffed with tomato sauce, ground meat or peas, arancini always make me think of summer.
8. Granita
Granita is Sicily's favorite breakfast treat. The kick-starter is slushier than gelato and served in a glass, but it's still sweet and cold enough to cause early morning brain-freeze. Often topped with a solid layer of whipped cream, granita is served with a large, freshly baked brioche.accompanied by a still-warm, slightly sweet brioche for dunking. There's something fabulous about whipped cream first thing in the morning…with a spectacular sea view.
9. Fritto misto
(Everywhere) Il fritto misto di pesce translates as "mixed fried fish" and it is the quintessential beach eat, all over Italy, from paper cones filled with tiny whole fish in Trieste to a beachside platter of sardines and baby squid in Sicily. The only criterion is that the seafood mix must be fried, and deep-fried at that. Crunchy, salty, fishy goodness. If you see this dish on a menu, order it. You're welcome.
10. Aperitivo
Though an aperitivo not is something you "eat," it's almost always accompanied by food. If you don't have time to spend the day and one of Italy's beach clubs, try hitting a beach club bar around sunset for an aperitivo – a pre-dinner cocktail served with salty snacks, tiny salads, finger sandwiches, fruit and whatever else emerges from the kitchen. Mojitos made with Cuban rum are popular seaside drinks in Italy. For something lighter, sip on an Aperol Spritz — prosecco, Aperol and a splash of soda — once a Venetian libation, now found throughout the country. Admire the sunset, stick your feet in the sand and think of La Dolce Vita.

The Department of Energy is helping to meet that target through higher energy efficiency standards for microwave ovens and other products, which will reduce both costs for families and carbon pollution while maintaining consumer choices.
Energy use and efficiency. Most microwave ovens generate electromagnetic waves in the frequency of 2.5 gigahertz to heat food. Water molecules in food absorb the microwaves in this frequency, and the heat is then transferred to other molecules and, sometimes, the container holding the food (depending on the material it is made from).

FYI, if you can't decide on whether to get a microwave or convection oven, get a combo unit that is both microwave and convection oven. B. Convection Oven Convection ovens work by heating up food using hot air that circulates throughout the appliance and around the food.
Put microwave technology to use in your home. Microwave ovens use short wavelength electromagnetic waves at high frequency (about 2.45 Ghz) to induce water molecules to vibrate. As in stove-top heating, vibrating water molecules get hot. The more vibration, the hotter the water gets.
Microwaves are actually more eco-friendly than conventional ovens. Even a press write up on the new study stated, "An individual microwave uses 573 kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity over its lifetime of eight years. That is equivalent to the electricity consumed by a 7 watt LED light bulb.".
Sun (Solar) ovens are the most energy-efficient cooking appliance, as they require no fuel of any kind to cook, yet reach temperatures of 360° – 400°. These ovens also let you cook outside of the home, which is a real benefit during the summer months since indoor cooking raises indoor temperatures.
Although a microwave may not save much energy or money over a stove burner when heating water, it can be much more energy-efficient than a traditional full-size oven when it comes to cooking food. For starters, because their heat waves are concentrated on the food, microwaves cook and heat much faster than traditional ovens.
The efficiency energy conversion (electricity to microwaves) at 915 MHz is somewhat better - about 70% But it is far more efficient, nearly 100%, to use an immersion coil - that's one reason microwave home water heaters can never be economical; plus the capital cost is too high.

I started this board back when I was in college. It was after having gone to a medieval fair where I and a college friend played The Viking Game board game. Having had fallowed sew by symbols patterns, I decided that the game would be a good opportunity to branch out and trying making a pattern of my own.
As I was looking to design a board for this ancient game I looked back to my love of the Irish, and modeled the board after the elaborate drawings of the Book of Kells. Here the geese rest around the King's throne as the lions wait to strike. The design is of Tabult, which was recorded by Carolus Linnaeus (a Swedish Naturalist) during his travels. Much of what we know of this game is thanks to his journals though the game was not the focus of his travels. He had gone to Lapland, Sweden to study the plant and animal life in 1732. It wasn't until the twentieth century that people started to take notice of his non-ecological entries allowing archaeologists to reconstruct the game.
The board is made with cotton 22x22 Aida cloth, cotton backing, and pure silk embroidery floss. The game pieces are made from agate. The king piece from agate, jade, and malachite. Around it are the Viking runes that best correlate with K, I, N, and G.
The pattern is an original design by Alyss Steiner, and was completed in 2008.

The central bank has lowered the required general provision against unclassified housing finance from 2.0 per cent to 1.0 per cent allowing banks to extend more loans for housing.
Following an executive order on Thursday, Bangladesh Bank (BB) said the move aims to promote growth in the real estate sector by encouraging the banks to participate in housing finance.
It issued the order with retroactive effect from December 31 last year, according to a bdnews.24 report.
A central bank official said, "The rate has been lowered so that the banks can invest more in housing sector. This will bolster the sector and others related to it."

Week 8: What is a mentor? Do you have a mentor? Should I have a mentor? Should we ALL have a mentor?
Hello You!
I hope you are well!
This week I wanted us to explore the idea of a mentor.
What is a mentor really? Is a mentor always an older wiser human who has all the answers to all of the questions? Maybe. Sometimes.
The more I think about it though, the more I believe that the concept of a mentor is changing or to be more accurate it has already changed.
Let me explain!
They say: You need to know your mentor in person.
Not really!
In the age of internet, people are willing to share their story, they are willing to share their experiences and they are willing to provide other people with tips and tools on how to overcome or avoid any hurdles.
All you have to do is to choose wisely the ones who make sense to you.
They say: Mentors have all the answers.
Mentors guide you based on previous experiences and observations, but in any case it is up to you to choose how you want to proceed.
They are there to help you see where you block yourself but they are not there to make decisions for you.
In other words, you are the one who has all the answers!
They say: The mentor-mentee relationship has to be a forever relationship.
Again, not entirely true!
A mentor could be someone who guide you through a project for example, over a certain period of time. And as sad as it sounds, you may never see them again!
The most important thing though is that you have gained and learned something from them!
They say: The relationship has to be defined as a mentor-mentee.
But they also say, you are the average of the five people who you spend your time with!
You don't need to name someone as your mentor, the people you choose to surround yourself with are your mentors.
All you have to do is to pay attention!
In conclusion, a mentor is someone who knowingly or unknowingly has the ability to unblock your brain, guide you and help you make better decisions for yourself.
Why am I saying all these?
I guess at some point in our lives we all need someone who we can trust, someone who gets us, someone who is close but not so close, someone who with a few words can help us see the obvious. Someone who will remind us that we should keep going!
I just wanted to remind us that mentors are everywhere, especially today. The most important thing is to find the few (I mean the very few!) who their words, their work, their actions, even the sound of their voice resonates with us and when we feel unmotivated or stuck, we can have them in our ears, read their books, participate in their communities and then life becomes a little less scary.
And that's it for today!:) What is a mentor for you? Do you have a mentor? Should we all have a mentor? Do you agree that nowadays mentors are everywhere and more accessible than ever? Let me know!
And before you go, remember to share and like, if you liked!
Thank You for Being Here!
P.S.: I will be here once a week!
Mentors are everywhere.
Choose your ones wisely.
Pay attention!
Keep going!
I know that probably you already know and follow these people on social media but just in case you don't, I would recommend as a starting point for a mentor list the 30 Days of Genius by Chase Jarvis - click here. Enjoy!:)
