'EVERYTHING is copy," Nora Eph ron has often quoted her writer mother as saying. In fact, Ephron's parents turned her awkward teenage years into a Broadway and Hollywood comedy, "Take Her, She's Mine."
Single dad Lance Clayton, a depressed high-school poetry teacher very well played by Robin Williams, does Mr. And Mrs. Ephron one betterwhen his hugely obnoxious son (Daryl Sabara, formerly of the "Spy Kids" trilogy) accidentally dies during a sex act.
The hero of Bobcat Goldthwait's pitch-black comedy "World's Greatest Dad" sanitizes the death scenes to make it look like a suicide — and pens a flowery suicide note that touches the hearts of classmates and teachers who loathed his son while he was alive.
The note is so well received that Lance, a failed novelist with a drawer full of rejection letters, decides to lend his talents to writing a full-length posthumous memoir in his son's name.
Fame, fortune and TV talk shows beckon for Lance. So does a comely colleague (Alexie Gilmore) who has been holding him off, trying to decide whether she might be better off with another teacher (Henry Simmons) who's been published in The New Yorker.
The proverbial fly in the ointment is the dead son's only friend (Evan Martin), who is more than a little surprised to discover his porn-loving pal's literary "talent," not to mention his newly discovered love for Bruce Hornsby (who turns up as himself).
Goldthwait, a 1980s standup comedian and actor ("Hot To Trot") who has found a second career as a director of television and envelope-pushing comedies like "Sleeping Dogs Lie," gets a lot of mileage from this premise.
At 99 minutes, "World's Greatest Dad" is a tad too long, and takes its sweet time to get to the point. But its twisted heart is in the right place.
WORLD'S GREATEST DAD Making lemons out of lemonade. Running time: 99 minutes. Rated R (profanity, sexuality, drugs). At the Sunshine, Houston Street, near Second Avenue.

The Block – It Was Like Lambs To Slaughter
It took all of five minutes into the episode to realise twins Laura and Emily would not win against Katrina and Amie, as they had no renovating experience whatsoever.
Other applicants who applied must have been extremely peeved when they saw this episode, particularly when it was revealed the twins had not even painted a room before. In fact one of them couldn't even work out how to use a paint roller. Scott Cam stepped in and gave her the paint roller lesson 101. If it had been any of the Masterchef judges they would have also given her a comforting hug as well, but Scott Cam is far to professional for that. And yes that is a positive thing.
However this article on NINE MSN states they may have gone on the show to try and get their own reality show. They think they might be the new Kardashians!
Sorry to burst their bubble, but their presence on camera was not that charismatic, nor were their to camera pieces. However they should know Kim Kardashian got her own reality show after a sex tape she went in went viral.
So girls you now know what you have got to do if you want your own show…..
Oh but happy to put said tape up on my blog if they think it would help.
Anyway Katrina and Amie did a much better room, but I see the girls struggling on The Block, unfortunately having a tradie partner makes a big difference in what you can and can't do. But good luck to them I wouldn't mind seeing those girls kick some arse, and that turquoise not green couch was fabulous.

Loved Katrina. She'll make good viewing.

My boyfriend and a few other guys on Twitter seemed to prefer the twins. I actually preferred their room over Katrina and Amie's. Despite the lack of experience and all. The twins would've been funnier though on the show, lol. They had enough trouble doing that little room, can you imagine them doing a whole house? One issue I can foresee with Katrina and Amie is a potential budget blow-out. They seemed to be too blase about buying an item (as lovely as that couch was) that basically blew their budget. They did get lucky being able to buy the $2 shop stuff but thats not gunna cut it in the actual competition. Not having a tv and stuff like that will cost them. I was kind of shocked to see them win, with no TV and that horrific window 'treatment'.
Interesting that both the teams that used a tradie didn't win, despite saying it wasn't a breach of the rules or anything.

I actually liked the twins' room to. Very cozy. They were a bit rabbit-in-the-headlights tho.
I loved the turquoie couch and cowskin rug, and the bookshelves, but throught the rest of the stuff in th room was bitsy and annoying. A nice yellow lamp and bronze sometings would've done it. The exit sign was distracting, and the plastic clocks were tacky and the rest of the stuff was just excessive and bitsy.
The dark haired sister seemed familiar, but I guess she cant have been on telly before if they are from whoop whoop.

I thought the twins were fantastic, made for very funny viewing and I preferred their room too – but it was very safe
I agree though that anyone who sent in a tape and actually had an idea would have been annoyed that the twins made it through
- 5 Tracy { 06.24.11 at 1:16 pm }
The twins' room was ok, but I thought it was pretty boring and didn't really show much creativity. It was just 'nice' and middle of the road. I thought the other room had more potential, even though it probably didn't quite get to where it should have. All in all thought last night was the weakest night I saw (I didn't watch Tuesday night's ep, so don't know about that one). I hope the sisters do well, but I think they'll struggle too. That couch was pretty gorgeous.
- 6 brain dead dave { 06.24.11 at 5:00 pm }
Yes,Scotty is going as flash as a rat with a gold tooth so far this year.
He may be many things but going the grope isn't his caper.
- 7 Wurstsemmel { 06.24.11 at 5:46 pm }
What a joke this episode was. A team who couldn't even work out how to use a paint roller?
These two were the weakest teams by far, although I liked the non-twin sisters and, yes, the dark haired sister looked familiar to me too…perhaps a touch of the Courtney Cox?
Sorry, anticipating disappointment and hankering back to the original Block days. I seem to be on a Reality TV diet….quit Masterchef, will most likely quit the Block…..
- 8 AnonyMiss { 06.24.11 at 7:02 pm }
I thought the dark haired sister looks a bit like Jane Hall (Rebecca in Neighbours).
- 9 nittywitty { 06.25.11 at 4:28 am }
Loved the twins room. At the end of the day that type of decor does sell houses. Have seen it work at many auctions and sales as opposed to the so called eclectic look for want of a better word. Judging by the photos of the finished facade of the sisters house. YUK YUK and more YUK. They seemed to go out of their way to make a potentially pretty house look ugly. No surprise to me.

Ta daa!
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
-George Orwell
Oh god not Icke again
Does he still think he's a snow plough?
Smerk the cutest dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In Western Australi
Little Accipiter loved that girl enough
He told her jokes and crazy facts
And other forum stuff
Smerk the cutest dragon:
Traveled cross the sea,
To hunt her prey in foriegn lands,
And snuggle with Acci!
Smerk the cutest dragon
Is getting married now they say
Though little Accipiter
Has yet to name the day.
Er. HAha. KFC probably makes ALL men impotent. It takes very little these days to make men impotent.
A very wise woman once said, marriage is like a deck of cards.
You need a heart to love him,
A diamond to marry him,
And a spade to bury the bastard.

5 Reasons Why Jay and 'Ye Are Making Guys Look Bad
While being in the limelight is usually the prerequisite for infidelity and hordes of groupies, Jay-Z and Kanye West have flaunted the committed life in ways regular men can't handle. Subtract the millions and their new god flows, there's more than enough reason to keep Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian smitten for years.

Grocery chain SuperValu announced Friday it would be closing two Albertsons and four Lucky stores in Las Vegas in February.
The Albertsons stores are at 2300 E. Tropicana Ave. and 6140 W. Lake Mead Blvd.; the Lucky stores are at 4801 W. Spring Mountain Road, 2021 E. Lake Mead Blvd., 2400 E. Bonanza Road and 1324 Craig Road.
"Albertsons and Lucky continuously evaluate their stores to identify opportunities to strengthen their overall business," Albertsons spokeswoman Lilia Rodriguez said in a statement. "While the decision to close a store is always difficult, given the impact on associates and customers, it is guided by what is best for the company's ongoing success and future growth."
Moving forward, Albertsons and Lucky's primary focus will be on taking care of their associates and customers, she said. Steps will be taken to assist displaced workers in finding future employment.
Albertsons has 520 stores in Nevada, California and the Northwest. It has 33 stores and about 3,000 employees in Las Vegas.
The company closed stores at Tropicana Avenue and Mountain Vista Street and at Bonanza Road and Lamb Boulevard in early December.
SuperValu reported retail food net sales of $7.9 billion in the third quarter, the same as the year-ago period, as new-store growth was offset by the impact of store closures and negative identical store sales of 0.5 percent, excluding fuel.
Total retail square footage at the end of the quarter was about 71 million square feet, a 0.3 percent decrease from a year ago.
Retail strip properties, as a whole, have been hurt by the current economic climate, and sellers of grocery strips have had to adjust their expectations, a quarterly report from LoopNet commercial real estate services said.
Boise, Idaho-based Albertsons acquired Lucky grocery stores for $12 billion in 1999 and changed the name of more than 400 stores in Southern Nevada and California.
SuperValu, which has more than 2,500 stores under a variety of names, acquired Albertsons in 2006.

When The Bright Lights Fade Will You Be Ready?
When the Bright Lights Fade started as a fundraiser for cannabinoid research, but it has since turned into a viral sensation that has the NFL scrambling to react.
Denver Colorado—TWO weeks ago CW Botanicals and the non-profit Realm of Caring Foundation partnered up to launch the sports themed fundraiser When the Bright Lights Fade. The purpose of the fundraiser is to support research with Johns Hopkins University as they examine the relationship between concussions and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)—and how cannabinoids can potentially provide solutions.
We won't watch our brothers fall victim
The campaign enlisted former NFL players Jake Plummer, Nate Jackson, Tatum Bell, Reuben Droughns, and Charlie Adams to give the world insights into what life is like for professional athletes after they retire from the game. Grammy winner Melissa Etheridge narrates the story.
The campaign isn't examining what a retired football player does in his post-NFL career. It is focusing on the mental and physical issues that athletes deal with once they walk out of the stadium for the last time. All too often we hear about professional athletes dealing with a myriad of issues related to concussion and traumatic brain injury.
Battle ready
While in the NFL, players are given prescription pain medications in the form of pills and/or shots that are designed to keep them game ready—perhaps the more accurate description of these treatment's effects is "numb". As a result, players often leave the NFL with addiction issues and bodies that have been destroyed from the inside out.
When the Bright Lights Fade is an attempt to bring awareness to these issues—and to provide a solution. This may exist in cannabidiol (CBD). CBD is the non-psychoactive, non-addictive cannabinoid that has shown promise as a neuroprotectant—in fact the U.S. Government patented it as such. Instead of being a reactionary solution to physical and mental pain and suffering, CBD has the potential to be a preventative solution.
Rally time
The NFL is reluctant to examine the potential for cannabinoids like CBD to provide medical relief to their players. The NFL has also been reluctant to comment on the connection between concussions and CTE—until March 14th 2016. Just days after the launch of the When the Bright Lights Fade campaign, the NFL's senior VP for health and safety, Jeff Miller, admitted to the U.S. House of Representatives that concussions and CTE were connected.
In response to Rep. Jan Schakowsky's question- "is the link between football and neurodegenerative diseases such as CTE established?" Miller said, " The answer to that question is certainly yes."
It seems as though the figurative ball is rolling. The NFL is scrambling to embrace the public's demand for change—for answers.
The Realm of Caring's campaign attracted the support of current NFL player Eugene Monroe. Monroe became the first active player to voice his support of furthering the research of how cannabinoids can potentially help athletes of all levels. Monroe has since gone on a Twitter tirade that focuses on bringing awareness and forcing the hand of the NFL.
Monroe's advocacy has been met with support and controversy. He has rallied some of his teammates and other current players from around the league. One by one, athletes are speaking up—demanding change. These guys aren't trying to get high; they are trying to access the facts in order to improve the quality of their lives.
I've suggested to you before that we often view professional athletes as entertainers. So many of us look forward to NFL games for the excitement that these athletes provide us. They are talented. They are also human. Is it unreasonable to suggest that your favorite player might be better off if you rally behind him as a person instead of a number? Funding research that could potentially result in treatments and medicines that would keep him/her on the field longer, making the big plays you love, as a fan, sounds mutually beneficial—doesn't it?
Let's keep the lights on longer
Here is how you can get involved. here. You can also simply donate a few bucks and you will be rewarded with a t-shirt and wristband. 100% of the proceeds will go toward the research—also a tax write-off for you—HOLLA!VIP concert tickets, vacation packages, and even 1-on-1 quarterback camps with Jake Plummer in order to fund the research with Johns Hopkins University. These items are available for purchase
It is easy to think that these players have the financial resources to fend for themselves, but the fact remains that their "bosses" are not keen to the idea of researching or administering cannabinoids. Player's have their hands tied by the very bureaucracy that demands their excellence—if cannabinoids will make them better versions of themselves, what's the big deal?
Access now
Remember folks; this fundraiser is designed to research cannabinoids' potential to promote mental and physical health. Though the campaign showcases the stories of former and current professional athletes, the intent is to provide solutions to people from all walks of life. If cannabinoids can assist athletes that perform on the highest level, a level that demands every ounce of their physical and mental capabilities, then what can they do for people like you and me? Let's find out. Become an activist in any way that you can! Personally I want to keep the lights on for as long as possible—if cannabinoids can help me do that, then I am game.
Check out the When the Bright Lights Fade video below.

May 26, 2016
Panelists at a Wednesday afternoon session of the CNP Expo shared their experience and insights from a new survey on omnichannel commerce . Chris Uriarte, chief payment and strategy officer at Vesta Corporation, which sponsored the survey, said it showed more than 80 percent of merchants feel omnichannel is important to their strategy over the next two years, and over 90 percent feel it's important over the next 3-5 years. However, less than 50 percent have implemented some type of omnichannel solution, and even then it is often only one or two minor omnichannel capabilities.
"Part of what is holding implementation back is that merchants are confused by a lack of leadership—who within the business should own and drive the omnichannel solution?" The survey also showed that physical stores still act as the hub and are seen as the heart of omnichannel—the "buy online, return to store" model is among the most popular. And unsurprisingly, consumers are moving toward mobile purchasing.
While many merchants remain brick-and-mortar-focused, Payvision COO Gijs op de Weegh noted that his company's clients have had some success leveraging the data they collect about their customers from their interactions online to make changes to their in-store experience.
Implementing an omnichannel strategy can sometimes mean tension between various divisions within a company who don't want to lose sales (hence, commission) to the Website. Mark DeCausmeaker, director of multi-channel sales at REEDS Jewelers, related that the friction they encountered with their sales associates turned out to be less complex.
"Assuming it was an education issue, we went through a cycle of national, regional and store training to make sure associates understood the system. Then we decided to become an iPad environment, so associates can meet customers and do the transaction where they are. And our omnichannel went up 500 percent," DeCausmeaker said. "It turned out, the computers on the floor previously were so archaic, associates didn't want to bother with them." Once it was convenient to help the customer order it online, associates jumped in with both feet.
From a fraud perspective, Sean Bennett, director of loss prevention at Tory Burch, noted that going more omnichannel meant their business saw a spike in in-store, social-engineering fraud. He related the story of a fraudster who called about eight stores around the country to ship $4,000 worth of merchandise to their home in Connecticut. Some of the associates fielding the calls were thrilled to get a big sale and to give a customer a great experience, but they didn't realize such a large order over the phone was against policy.

At the end of May I was in Dallas for a few days and got some hosta photos in the Dallas Arboretum. There seem to be 3 areas that have a large number of hosta. This Arboretum also has a HUGE number of Encore Azaleas planted throughout - I have put a lot in my garden also.
Here are some photos from what looks like a "Trial" that is situated roughly in the middle of the Arboretum. (The other two areas have lesser numbers of hosta and are more mixed in with ferns and other plant material - I think one area is called the Fern Grotto or something like that - it's near the main entrance - the other is toward the far end of the gardens in a small wooded area with a stream and small water-falls.)

IHTM: I Tried a Skincare Product That Jacked Up My Skin Barrier So Here's How I Handled It
I basically called my mom for help. Except when I say mom, I mean an esthetician.
I love tea. I love tea so much in
fact that it's hard to explain just how much.
I mean I have a teacup tattoo…
I worked in a tea shop for two
years and, during that time, learned just about everything there is to know
about the world's second most consumed beverage (bested only by water). I don't
drink coffee (if you think I'm bubbly now, never give me coffee), but I
drink an average of 15 cups of tea a day. I currently own 72 different types of
tea (mostly 100g tins), and I'm still thirsty for more.
So, when I
came across Miyu,
a small Canadian company with four tea-centric
products, I got really excited.
Miyu is the tea-infused,
cruelty-free creation of Connie Tai, a small-town Canadian who moved to NYC and
found stress and city life made her skin freak out. In an effort to calm her
breakouts, she turned to tea, and so Miyu was born.
Beautifully packaged in
pearlescent pastels with hints of gold, Miyu includes two teas and two "beauty
essences," which are grouped into two "lifestyle pairings": Hydrate Mi and De-Stress Mi.
Because the winter has been so hard on my skin (raise your hands if you've had
peeling skin and chapped lips for over a month) I opted for the hydration
Let's start with the
"beauty essence." A hybrid of toner and serum, this product comes in a pretty
little spray bottle and should be applied before moisturizer, or anytime during
the day afterwards if you're feeling a little dry. It features a blend of
rose, wild pansy, goji and mangosteen, as well as Miyu's three signature
ingredients: green tea, white peony, and pearl. Together, these ingredients
protect the skin from free radicals, boost hydration, and encourage even skin
tone an radiance.
I love spritzing my face with the
sweet, floral-scented mist, and I've found it really does balance my skin tone
and give me a much-needed moisture boost--definitely a product I'll be adding
into my daily skincare regimen.
Now onto my favourite part: the
Miyu's Hydrate Mi Beauty Tea is an organic green rooibos base, meaning
it's naturally caffeine-free, high in antioxidants, full of electrolytes, and anti-inflammatory. It also contains nine types of
flavonoids that fight free radicals, helping to keep skin looking young and
Rose petals, snow pear essence, and candied pearls (!) are added to the
blend for taste, and goji berries up the antioxidant qualities and collagen
production (because they're so high in vitamin C).
Fruity and floral, this tea is delicious, and has been helping me wind down and hydrate before I go to
bed. Loosely packaged in pyramid tea bags to preserve flavour and optimize
health benefits, it is definitely a must for those with dry
skin as well those who love both beauty and tea!
you a tea fanatic? Any other tea-infused beauty I should know about?

AhhYour work is always so good. Also the gold leaf is cool.
There is a very strong sense of tension, a jarring un-rightness within the drawing. The title is "Cradled" but the death-figure isn't touching the woman at all, it's almost like she's awkwardly floating above Death's hands than swept up into gentle arms.
The dia de los muertos face paint is interesting because it truly does seem to be a part of the death-figure's face, rather than a mask, like I'm more familiar with. Somehow it seems twisted as well-- not the happy celebratory paintings that are common at dia de los muertos, but made from the same red you use for the blood and the bits of the woman. It makes it feel darker somehow.
It's strange, too, that you'd have death so clearly showing her face to us, whereas she's so traditionally depicted as a masculine figure with a hidden face. When we do see his face, it usually seems forever young, but Death here seems older somehow. I could almost imagine an empathy for Death, for she really has seen it all, humanity at its worst-- but the eyes are covered, so anything that might or might not be beneath that is only what I'd imagine it to be.
The triangle at the right is so bright and bold that it draws my eye, but I can't make any sense out of it. I'm not sure that I like it being the center of interest, it feels like it could be more subtle in the background to balance the square-bits on the left.
The overall quality of the picture -- accuracy and shading, etc-- isn't what I'd normally expect from you. There's little awkward bits throughout-- Death's right hand, under the woman's head, is at a strange angle like the woman was drawn first. (Though I loveee how the red has smeared across that hand.) The ankle bones seem off in the feet, and the pendant isn't crisp and maybe a bit over-complicated (but then, gold leaf is really difficult to work with to begin with). The composition could also be shifted just slightly, if it were cropped differently-- you've got Death's head sort of going off the edge, but the woman herself is so carefully framed so that she doesn't touch the edges. I think she'd be all right going off the edge, too. I do like how Death is off center as she is, though.
The two biggest criticisms I've got are Death's hair-- which feels drawn too quick and seems flat with all the lines everywhere, and the shading-- which I think is upside down. You're used to drawing dark on a light surface, so the more you color, the darker it gets. But in this case, when you color with white, you're coloring in the light. And so all the places that would normally be shadows are all lit up like a light's shining from underneath, as if Death herself is glowing. It took me a while to figure out why the lighting felt weird to me, and I think that's it. Next time you draw on black, see if you like the effect when you color only the highlights.
I love the woman's head, and the red diamonds from her hands. She's got soo much personality in her expression and the choices she's made with her hair and piercings, and the way you've done her hair-- especially the floppy part on the top-- is fantastic. The red squares give the illustration so much in terms of tone and just the feeling behind it.
Death seems rather surprised to be caught on camera, under all that face paint. Heh. It's 'cause the lips are open slightly.
I've discovered that if I take that second cropping, and turn it sideways so it's portrait orientation, I love how it looks just by itself.
I think the other thing I'd advise that might give this more depth is to add a couple colors to the color scheme-- I love the effects of the white and red and black together just as they are, but the white chalk alone feels simplistic. Could you use a medium grey chalk or perhaps a veryvery washed out pink to add that depth? The grey might help shading Death's cloak as well-- it looks like you've tried to avoid shading it too much so that it contrasts the woman's lighter skin, which makes sense. If you had a grey, you may be able to add shading and keep it darker than her. You've already got variations in your reds, but it could use more, especially considering you're only showing one color. You've got a dark red and a bright red and the white, but there's so many little shades in between that might help variety. I don't know if it would actually help because the one thing to avoid is letting it become too busy-- right now it's already got a great balance of busy/unbusy sections.
Nice work!
Definitely let me know if you'd like a critique--- I'd love to.

The evil firebug who burned an elderly woman to death in her Brooklyn elevator will spend the rest of his life in prison, ruled a Brooklyn Supreme Court judge who called the attack "one of the most horrific crimes I've ever seen."
Jerome Isaac, 48, admitted in a plea deal that he ambushed Dolores Gillespie, 73, in 2011 by spraying gasoline on her, lighting her aflame with a barbeque lighter, then throwing a Molotov cocktail on her as her screams echoed through the building.
"He will die in jail," Gillespie's daughter said in a statement read by prosecutors. "While my authentic feeling continues to be anger, ultimately, we believe that you fight fire with water … not fire. So may God have mercy on his soul."
The judge, prosecutors, and defense attorney all agreed the attack that the video of the attack – captured by a surveillance camera in the elevator – was among the worst sights they had ever seen.
"I would have thought after 30 years in this business very little would have shocked me," said ADA Mark Hale.
"I was wrong. It's a permanent part of my dreamscape. I have nightmares and that tops the list."
The judge and both attorneys praised the plea deal and how it ensures neither the victim's family nor the jury will be forced to watch the horrific video.
"It does in fact spare the family and the public the trauma of seeing the video," defense attorney Howard Tanner said. Tanner also said his client – a Rastafarian – requested that the Department of Corrections not cut his hair.
Isaac's sentencing in November was postponed because he told probation officials "the devil tells him what to do." Judge Vincet DelGiudice ordered a psyche evaluation and postponed sentencing until today, when it was revealed Isaac had been found fit to be sentenced.
DelGiudice sentenced Isaac to 50 years to life on counts of murder and arson and said, "I can't conceive of any right-minded individual allowing Mr. Isaac to rejoin the public."
Gillespie had hired Isaac for odd jobs but fired him when he stole her kitchenware and DVD player, which made Isaac so angry he planned the attack.

Let Me Stay Up All Night – Astrograss
Let Me Stay Up All Night – Astrograss, self-released
Cold River – Cold River, self-released
When do a children's album and a roots album have much in common? In the case of Astrograss and Cold River, it starts with songwriter/guitarist/vocalist Jordan Shapiro who leads both Brooklyn-based acts. But, it's not just a matter of a familiar face standing at the microphone, Astrograss's Let Me Stay Up All Night and Cold River's self-titled debut swim in rootsy arrangements that give both the impression that they could have formed intact at a local hootenanny that, conveniently, featured likeminded musicians.
While the 16 tunes on Astrograss's album are intended for the pre-tweens in the audience, it's just as pleasing to any adult who hasn't killed off the child inside. A precursor of such a feat can be found years ago with the David Grisman/Jerry Garcia effort, Not For Kids Only, wherein silly songs for the young ones are solid enough that parents don't gnash their teeth from an excessive number of spins. Astrograss even throws in a couple classic folk songs – "Drunken Sailor" and "Oh! Susanna." As far as the originals, it's a combination of songs that exist simply for their Fun Factor ("There Their They're," "The Brooklyn Neighborhood Song," "Piddle Paddle"), some comedy ("Dashboard Corn"), a Dylanesque nod ("The Garbage Van") and a lesson thrown in for good measure ("Have It The Earth's Way"). Throughout, the acoustic musicianship is superb, which makes it all worthwhile for those sitting in the driver's seat and the passengers in back.
Cold River runs in similar Americana territory, but in a place that's also inhabited by Crazy Horse, Todd Rundgren, Aaron Copeland, The Who, Sonic Youth and Frank Zappa. These are subtle touches to these artists/composers. Still, any sense of recognition doesn't overwhelm the overall output. "Midnight Train" presents a low key and effective introduction to what Cold River has to offer. The arrangement of the traditional song has a genial feel to it, allowing the listener to immerse inside the lyrics and instrumentation. Covering a couple other traditional numbers "The Lakes of Pontchartrain" and "Hallelujah, I'm a Bum" spark with just as much quality even when the former initially blares with the guitar growl normally heard from Neil Young and his brothers in amplification, Crazy Horse.
The only knock to "Cold River" is its ambitious nature can be overreaching. Besides arranging several traditional numbers and writing seven originals, text written by authors is used as lyrics. While vocalists Shapiro and Jennifer Milich make headway through much of it, twisting one's notes around "With the salubrious odor of honeysuckle!" seems more English Lit than the rest of the album deserves. The musicianship from the sextet balances out such a misstep. "By Frazier Creek Falls," which uses the text of Gary Snyder, fares better in part to the twists and turns of its engrossing arrangement. Even when the transfer from the literary world to the musical one gets a little rough, the veteran players display the maturity and grace to bring about a flourishing atmosphere that ultimately works like the unfolding plot of a good book.

Well, here is blog number two. The initial shock has worn off a bit I hope.
The feedback I have received so far has been pretty positive. This really all started in October of 2008 in a meeting with Mike Neil (GM of Hyper-V) and Tom and myself from the Open Source Technology Center (OSTC) at Microsoft.
In that meeting I proposed to Open Source the Linux Integration Components and contribute them to the Linux Kernel. And, secondly, to have the OSTC continue contributing to these IC's after they made it to the Linux Kernel. Well after some discussion, we all agreed that this was the right thing to do.
And so the whole process started inside of Microsoft. Hey, what can I say, we like to push the envelope a bit here at the OSTC, and we have a reputation to uphold!
Before I go on, I again wanted to thank the Kernel community (specifically Greg Kroah-Hartman) in helping us with explaining and guiding us through community process. It gave us a very nice jumpstart to get all of this going, and provided the groundwork for a good working relationship with the community.
I have also seen a few patches already submitted by community members, which is excellent! (Moritz Muehlenhoff gets major kudos for the first community contributed patch ) I will start submitting patches myself next week once the initial submission has stabilized a bit.
It is my plan to use the kernel as my primary development area, and of course I will continue to provide Greg with my patches. My first step is to clean up the code to make sure it fulfills all Kernel coding standards and requirements.
So, here is blog number two: what are the Linux Integration Components?
1. Overview of Linux VM with ICs
Linux Integration Components(IC) take advantage
s of the VMBUS and synthetic devices provided in Hyper-V to enhance the performance and usability of Linux guests running on Windows servers.
Figure: Conceptual Architecture overview of Linux guest & Hyper-V. Linux IC modules are painted in yellow color.
VSP: Virtualization Service Provider.
VSC: Virtualization Service Client.
VMBus: Data channel between VSP and VSC.
2. Linux IC modules -- VMBus and VSCs
- Communication with parent partition is done through Linux VMBus
- VSCs are the Linux drivers for synthetic devices (SCSI, IDE, and Ethernet) provided by Hyper-V.
- They translate between Linux I/O requests and Hyper-V VSC commands
- Devices are registered with Linux Driver Model (LDM)
- Every VSC module contains two portions:
- o Driver Interface Mapper (DIM): Released as open source
This portion of the VSC component interacts with the Linux kernel like a regular Linux device driver.
- o VSC Core: Released as Open Source
The core portion of the VSC module is implemented based on the protocol of the corresponding VSP at Hyper-V host. The VSC core interacts with VSP via the VMBus interface.
3. Descriptions for each Linux IC module
3.1 VMBus driver (hv_vmbus.c)
The VMBus driver is a Linux kernel module. It provides both a lightweight bus driver and library functionality. As a bus driver, it registers with Linux Driver Model framework (LDM) to provide simple bus and device integration and device tree integration (sysfs). As a library, it implements the VMBus channel protocol and provide an abstraction of channel to its clients (Disk and Network VSCs).
3.2 StorVSC driver (hv_storvsc.c)
The Storage VSC interacts with the Windows Storage VSP. The "wire" protocol defined by the storage VSP determines how a VSC interacts with it. The Linux Storage VSC (LSVSC) basically abstracts the Linux I/O stack from needing to understand the Storage VSP's protocol. At the upper-edge of the LSVSC, it talks to the Linux SCSI subsystem. The Linux SCSI subsystem sees the LSVSC as a SCSI low-level driver (LLD) in Linux parlance. It passes SCSI requests (scsi_cmnd) to LSVSC which in turn converts them into the "wire" format understood by the Windows Storage VSP (VSTOR_PACKET). The bottom-edge of the LSVSC talks to Linux VMBus (LVMBUS) which in turn talks to the Windows VMBus to route the packets to the Storage VSP.
3.3 BlkVSC driver (hv_blkvsc.c)
BlkVSC (BlockVSC) supports "fast boot" and fast access to IDE disks. To enable enlightened IDE support for enhancing the performance of Linux when virtualized on Windows, a separate BlockVSC component is used as a Linux block device driver. Like StorVSC, the BlockVSC component is comprised of an upper edge wrapper that interfaces with the Linux block layer and a lower-edge through the infrastructure modules. The infrastructure modules with Hyper-V through the Linux VMBus.
3.4 NetVSC driver (hv_netvsc.c)
The network VSC send and receive network traffic between a Linux guest and Hyper-V host which has direct connection to physical network. The mechanism that this is used to accomplish is the Remote NDIS (RNDIS) protocol. Thus the communication that flows between the VSP and the VSC primarily happens over the RNDIS protocol which then is packaged and forwarded as payload over to the other side over NetVSP / VMBus protocol.
4. Linux IC's, Location in the Kernel tree
Hopefully you now have a better idea what they are. But where in the kernel tree can you find them?
Well, you can find sources in linux-next tree in /drivers/staging/hv directory.
And the git repository you can find them in right now is:
Or give this command (assuming your system is set up correctly) to download this repository to your machine:
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git <your local name>
Since the IC's are part of the kernel now, we follow the normal community process of getting this all migrated into Linus mainline kernel.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. – American Stacy Lewis turned her right ankle stepping on a sprinkler head at the third hole in her practice round Tuesday morning for the International Crown but says she'll be fine for the start of fourball matches on Thursday at Caves Valley Golf Club.
"I rolled my ankle pretty good," Lewis said. "The sprinkler heads here are pretty deep. They're down in the ground pretty far. But I'll be fine. We got two more days before we play. So it's all good."
Lewis, No. 1 in the Rolex world rankings, had the ankle wrapped when she walked with no noticeable limp into the media center for an American team news conference a few hours after her practice round.
"I'll get some treatment on it today and tomorrow, but it will be fine," Lewis said. "It's not an issue. If anything, it's helping me stay down and not jump in front of the ball, which I've been trying to work on for two weeks, so maybe it's a good thing."
Lewis will be paired with Lexi Thompson as her fourball partner in the opening round. They're scheduled to play Chinese Taipei's Yani Tseng and Phoebe Yao at 10:45 a.m. ET.

I'm behind on my garden updates, but I'm just going to start at the very beginning…afterall that's a very good place to start.
I'm back to gardening after what feels like a very long wait. It's been hard waiting to get my garden going while we've been so busy and spring has been springing with out me. This year I have all three of my raised beds all ready to go. A dear friend offered to add the soil to them for me as a housewarming gift. I took her up on that.
I started planting cooler weather seeds on April 3rd out in my first box and got it halfway planted. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I do the square foot gardening method. It's so simple, and I can get a great yield out of my tiny 4×4 beds.
Things that were planted on 4/3
A square of red lettuce Lolla Rossa
kale (Russian…I hope it's not too warm for this already)
Alyssum (tiny white flowers)
Dragon carrots (these are short purplish red carrots)
Sweet pea flowers
Detroit Beets.
In mid April, I had a friend over, and even though it was laundry day, we decided to head of to the community garden center. She is a member there, and I'd never been. I couldn't help myself, and I bought some lettuce, broccoli and collard green plants. And a fistful of seed packets (for 10 cents each). I had no idea that the community garden had such affordable plants and seeds. Also, the varieties of plants and seeds that they have available are specially chosen because they do well in our area.
At home that afternoon, I immediately got out my trowel and dug into the four squares in the third row of my bed. I planted two broccoli plants and two lettuce plants. I was delighted to see some spinach poking it's two little pointy leaves up as well. A couple of other squares have tiny little sprouts in them, but I'm not sure if they are veggies or weeds. A few more days will let me know.
Finally, in the back row of that bed, I planted more seeds: carrots, zinnias, four o'clocks, and one more kale.
Gracie and Ava are interested in helping to water the garden at this point. They are pretty much over the planting of seeds…but hopefully they will come back around to it. Granger and Finn are a little more interested than I'd like. Two year olds may be my most dangerous garden pests this year…but I'm up for it anyway.
The following day, I started planting the second bed. I planted two squares of collard plants, and 2 squares of marigold seeds (one dwarf, and one large), two squares of snow peas, and a square of lettuce (plants).
That evening while I gardened, the girls decided to take us up on our offer to pay them for cleaning up the yard of dog…erm…droppings. I taught them how to walk through the yard systematically and how to pick up the poop on the shovel…picking up crap really is a life skill.
I'm really proud of how they worked together.
I'm also proud of how the boys worked together. They found a shady spot in the yard that doesn't grow grass and threw dirt all over themselves…including in their hair and down into Granger's diaper. Finn was somehow completely naked for this escapade. And then all four children had a bath.
In other spring news we have an azalea bush behind our deck, and it's bright pink blooms are plumping up and starting to burst open. I'd forgotten that right after Ava was born, my father in law sent me an azalea with blooms that exact same color. I'm so grateful. This bush will always remind me of that wondrous time.
What are you planting this year?

No. 2 OU suffers second loss in a row
No. 8 Arizona State gets solid pitching, timely hitting in win
TEMPE, Ariz. -- No. 2 Oklahoma suffered its second consecutive defeat on Tuesday, 6-2 at No. 8 Arizona State.
The Sooners played from behind the entire game and dropped to 16-2 on the season.
"We had some costly errors early in the game and we never really recovered from it," said OU head coach Sunny Golloway. "We have to get hungry and attack and I think Arizona State played that way tonight."
The Sun Devils (12-3) struck first with a trio of runs scored in the third inning on a fielder's choice, sacrifice fly and an error on OU catcher Tyler Ogle.
In the top of the fifth inning, OU cut the lead down to two runs on Caleb Bushyhead's sacrifice fly to center field. It marked the first RBI of the year for Bushyhead, who played in his fourth game back since returning from ACL surgery.
Unfortunately for the Sooners, Arizona State countered in the bottom half of the fifth with a pair of runs and tacked on another score in the sixth.
Shore (2-1) lasted four innings in his start and allowed three runs, two earned, with three hits allowed with three strikeouts. The start came after Shore lasted just one inning on Saturday against Arkansas-Little Rock.
Brady Rodgers (2-0), tossed three solid innings with five strikeouts and one hit allowed, a double by Evan Mistich in the second inning. Rodgers started opening day for ASU but was sidelined with some arm stiffness until Tuesday's outing.
Tyler Ogle and Chris Ellison tried to mount a late rally for Oklahoma in the eighth inning with back-to-back singles to begin the frame. However, the Sooners managed to plate just Ogle in the eighth and finished the game with four stranded base runners.
Mistich finished the contest with a team-high two hits, while also walking in his four plate appearances.
ASU leads the all-time series 48-18, including wins in 10 of the last 11 meetings.

The parade kicked off at 2 p.m. ET as dozens of floats and participating groups started their journey from the intersection of Church and Bloor streets.
Participants then headed west along Bloor Street before turning south on Yonge Street, going all the way down to Gerrard Street, where the parade turned east again and hit its final stretch, ending back at Church Street.
The CBC's Ivy Cuervo said the streets were packed with people who were eager to take in a Pride celebration that is now one of the biggest events of its kind in the world.
"This parade here for many people is a very important one," Cuervo said.
"It's about inclusion, it's about community and, also, it's about love."
A couple from New York declared their love in front of tens of thousands of strangers, when they were married on board one of the floats moving along the parade route.
The couple, Carter Etherington and Breken Elwood, won a Tourism Toronto contest that paid for their trip to the city, put them up in the Windsor Arms Hotel and arranged for them to get married and ride a specially designed float during the parade.
Ahead of the parade, Elwood told CBC News that the couple was ready for the big day.
"We did go and get matching suits and shirts and ties and Carter was nice enough to let me pick everything, and in a nutshell, tell him what we would be wearing on our wedding day," Elwood said.
"So we'll basically look like two giant Ken dolls."
The theme for this year's parade was "Celebrate and Demonstrate," and like in years past, the event drew veteran participants and first-timers alike as well as Torontonians, tourists and out-of-towners.
For 17-year-old Cassidy Shipman of London, Ont., it was her first time making the trip to Toronto for the Pride Parade.
"I enjoy being here with all the positive people," Shipman told The Canadian Press.
"I'm gay and wanted to show my support. It's just really fun."
Organizers say about 158 groups were taking part in Sunday's parade, including Queers Against Israeli Apartheid, which has been a focus of controversy and cancelled plans to march in last year's event.
The parade is the final event marking 10 days of Pride in the city.

Ancient Ruins Mexico
I visited Teotihuacan, Mexico for the Pyramids in 2011, and I am hooked. Anyone else into Mayan calendars and such? I want to visit the rest of the the ancient Mayan/Inca ruins all throughout Mexico. For this trip, I want to keep the maximum length to 1 week - 2 weeks, depending on everything else. I want to visit at least 2 ancient ruin sites in Mexico.

President, 2017-2018
To my fellow students at FIT,
During this year's Student Government Association elections, there were nearly triple the number of voters as compared to last year, with a total of 406 students that voted. I would like to first extend my sincere appreciation to those of you who took the time to vote and help shape your campus life for the coming year.
With that said, it is my honor to be elected to serve all of you as the President of the FIT SGA for the 2017-18 year. FIT has provided me with incredible opportunities throughout my time here. One of the main reasons I decided to run for President was because I wanted to give back to FIT after all that this school has done for me. I want to help motivate more students to fully utilize all the opportunities that FIT already has and then to help develop even more opportunities that the student body desires. I believe it is important to state that I acknowledge and am aware of how some students, some of whom are my friends that support me, feel that FIT and/or the SGA have many areas that need improvement. I hear you and I understand why some of you feel this way. I can't and shouldn't promise you that I can do everything that you ask for and meet your every demand. As much as I would like for it to be the case, providing unlimited scholarships for all students, booking Beyoncé for a concert and having Gordon Ramsay cook in the dining hall are not likely to happen. All jokes aside, even with the best planning and preparation, life can sometimes just hand you that surprise "L" and you just have to take it. I'm pretty sure most of us can relate to that feeling on some level.
What I can and will promise is that the SGA will be more easily accessible to all students and that there will be multiple avenues for communication. The entirety of the SGA is here to serve and represent all 10,000 students of FIT. We are nothing without your support. As such, to all my fellow students at FIT, I would like to sincerely request for all of you to truly communicate with the SGA for the 2017-18 year.
Help me, help you. Work with me, work with my board. Believe in me, believe in us. Believe in FIT.
We can be the change we want to see!
Stay fresh,
Sonne Bajwa
President, 2017-18

The "Flip Men" have seen some pretty wild things through their years of flipping homes. It's always kind of a surprise after the initial purchase when it's time to delve a little deeper into the home that they've just picked up. This week's house was looking pretty good, as far as investments go, until they discovered a crawl space and set out to explore it.
Inside they started seeing some crazy things scrawled on the walls, like swastikas and the words "Helter Skelter" -- a phrase associated with cult leader and murderer, Charles Manson. When they discovered blood as well, they determined it was time to call in the police.
Luckily, things weren't nearly as bad as they seemed. The blood had come from a homeless man who'd taken to living in the crawl space. He'd merely injured himself. The guys got him some help at a local homeless shelter, and got to work on the house.
In the end, they turned a $32,000 profit. See how they make out, and what they find next on "Flip Men," Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on Spike.

To the editor:
We wish to extend our gratitude and special thanks to all the generous people of Lawrenceburg, for all the money and toys that you gave to the "Toys for Tots" program.
Without your generous donations many children would have a happy Christmas this year.
A special thanks to Walmart and Dollar General for allowing us to set up and collect the toys and money. A special thanks to Farmers Bank, Town and County Bank and Trust Co., and Smith's Grocery for allowing us to put donation containers in their businesses.
To the editor:
Politicians in Congress and in the White House often lament, "We're passing our debt along to our children and grandchildren" or "the full faith and credit of the United States must not be put at risk." The frequency of their lamentations has reduced the two quotations to meaningless sounds that only convey their hypocrisy.
To the editor:
I just want to thank Meaghan Downs for doing this great human interest story.
Having been around these ladies during good life events and sad life events,
I am always impressed and inspired by their strength and spirit.
I also would like to publicly thank Elizabeth Roberts for the photos and personalizing the message on each one. She is a talented young actor and an even better person. Learn more at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0731068/
To the editor:
A great big thanks to guest columnist Rick Shannon for well-written articles in commemoration of Black History Month.
To some it was perhaps informative, and to others they were reminders of an unpleasant past. As a native southern Mississippian, I fit in the latter, because I remember where I was when each of the incidents occurred.
Your first article dealt with the death of Emmett Till. As an 11-year-old, I remember the expression on my parents' face as the news of Emmett's death made its way throughout the community.
To the editor:
Although I no longer reside in Lawrenceburg, I still maintain a strong connection with the events that transpire within the town where I was born and raised. Lawrenceburg is where I got my start, where my family still lives and it's safe to say that I wouldn't be the man I am today without the support of that beautiful piece of small town USA just off the Bypass.
To the editor:
Over half the politicians on Capitol Hill are millionaires. The majority of them were not millionaires when they were elected to Congress. As they got richer, citizens got poorer. That simple inverse relationship reveals the only real threat to America and our way of life.
To the editor:
It has been a while since I have sent in a letter to the editor and I believe it has also been some time since Joan Burke has written as well.
From the size of her letter in Monday's edition, I guess she has had a lot stored up and I agree with her on the fact that we all have different viewpoints when it comes to certain matters and that does make for a healthy democracy in our republic.
To the editor:
The [proposed] Bluegrass Pipeline has nothing to do with energy independence. The pipeline is not about heating homes with natural gas. It is about the leftover byproducts of natural gas that can be shipped elsewhere at ports in the Gulf to produce plastics overseas. It only benefits [owners] Williams Company and Boardwalk.
The pipeline is damaging our community even though construction hasn't begun. Neighbors don't want to tell neighbors what to do with their land, but no one wants a hazardous pipeline in his or her neighborhood.
To the editor:
Anderson County's Helping Hands—Heart of Community wants to raise awareness concerning a critical issue facing the state's General Assembly. Our community needs new school funds to match the higher expectations for our educators and students.. Without new funds, our schools will be at a disadvantage in providing children with the quality education they need and deserve.
Editor's note: The following letter was written to Gov. Steve Beshear and others, and is reprinted here at the request of the authors.
To the editor:
While we are fully aware of our budget imbalance even with some current income exceeding forecasts, including current expenditures that are creating a shortfall in our current biennial budget, we must remind each of you of the plight of our state employees.
We must remind each of you there has been no state employee salary increases since 2009.

Emotion Lyrics
Artist: Gary Numan
Album: Machine + Soul
Look up
Look down
I've seen it all before
I need emotion
Look left
Look right
I've tried it all before
I need emotion
Say nothing
It's over
I sold my soul
She's tempting
Sex tension
It could be the wrong move
One question
One answer
I don't need
I don't know
The slogan
New fashion kills me
Tear it up
It don't mean a thing so
Tear it up good
Touch me
Picture this
It don't mean a thing so
Touch me
Life is cruel
How did this ever get serious?
One night
One touch
I've used them all before
I need emotion
One lie
Too much
I've heard it all before
I need emotion
I'll show you
Some people
Disgust me
Listen to
I'm in a glass house
'I've been sick'
She whispers
My picture
I only work here
I need emotion

Maybe I shouldn't bother with all the post work on these images.
Maybe instead, I should just stop the render 6.25% of the way through (at the end of the second of the four rendering passes). This leaves the images with the kind of blocky pixellated art that we saw in "high-end" computer games of the late 80s and early 90's.
The general imagery I've been aiming for in The Law has been inspired by punk 'zines, Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and the comic 2000 AD circa early 80's... but if I shifted that to circa 1990, it could turn into something very different.
(I just looked at my screen at roughly this point in the rendering process, and that's what crossed my mind)

Andrea Lusk Bransford, Class of 1987
CLA - some of the best days of my life (so far, and I'm only half done)! Dr. West (Doc Sherlock), Hobbs, Mrs. Tabb and Haslitts, Pat Hymel, Rusty, and Keith Morris to name a few... without the fabulous CLA teachers of the 80's, I may have spent most of my life searching for the truth.
They were Potters in my life, molding me into the person I am today... I came to faith in Jesus Christ at CLA, grew in my relationship with Him daily, was challenged, stretched, corrected in love, and released into a world that needs Him desperately... so that I could in turn spread the same passion and love for Him that I learned there.
I live in Southeast Asia, now, with my husband and son. We have been here 4 years... reaching the 99% of Asian people who have yet to know Him. Thanks, CLA! Follow us: http://www.teamunity.net/

Does it take an IQ of 150 to solve this math question?
This math question has been going viral ever since a Japanese Twitter user posted it, claiming that if you can solve the problem, you probably have an IQ of 150 or higher. We don't know if the claim is valid, but the puzzle is certainly interesting to try. Check it out!
The above math question was recently posted by Japanese Twitter user @yabazin_gazou, an account with over 250,000 followers. The sensational claim says, "If you could solve it, it would prove you have an IQ of 150 or higher." Once his followers started retweeting, the question became viral online.
We have no idea if the claim is true, or if it's even scientifically valid to assess someone's IQ with just one question. However, the math question is certainly fun to try. Also, the question actually gives a hint of what the answer is: the 3 question marks indicate that the answer has 3 digits.
What do you think the answer is?

ARTIST: Endif
ALBUM: Carbon
LABEL: Tympanik Audio
REVIEWER: Matthew J.
On his second full-length album, Endif's Jason Hollis delivers 11 brand new tracks that, if not exactly establishing a signature sound, do at the very least establish a signature approach: no-nonsense power noise that isn't overly harsh on the one hand nor overly melodic on the other. Tracks like "Surgery of the Soul" and "Ghost in the Machine" are rhythmic without being completely minimal, the bass-heavy kicks augmented by flourishes of static and distorted percussion. When Hollis does let melody creep into his music, it's raw without being deliberately atonal. "Churl" sees a sparse synth sequence emerge from static-laced drum patterns, and "Between Two Worlds" draws on the cutting analog lines of early acid techno without abandoning its power noise aesthetic. Similarly, Hollis isn't a slave to the generic four-on-the-floor club beat, but neither do his rhythms go for complexity for its own sake. "Reactionary" takes electro breakbeats and expands them into cavernous reverb; imagine an early '90s acid house party transplanted to a massive subterranean cavern, and you get the idea. Similarly, "Last Tribe," a collaboration with Replogen, is choppy, its beats fading rapidly in and out between distorted synthesizers and electric buzzing, but it holds together well enough that you can still dance to it, the glitches enhancing the song's structure instead of destroying it. While this album lacks the nods to EBM's more accessible side that marked Endif's previous album, it's perhaps a more mature work for that, revealing a producer who's found his groove and is working at the top of his game.

Are We Like Minded?
Do you HATE to pay full price? Me too!
Are you frugal by nature? Yup, me too!
Does getting a bargain make you happy? Ditto…..
I am so glad that you stopped by!
My name Lori and I started MoreWithLessToday.com in 2009 as a way to share the frugal ideas that I have gathered up over the years. My daughter was graduating from high school and now she just graduated from college. Wow, that went fast….
I had wonderful role models …..
I was blessed to have a mother and a grandmother who were frugal and not wasteful, made use of what they had, fixed what was broken, and saved up the money before they made a purchase. For a long time, I fell short of their mentoring, but I am striving every day to spend less, save more, bless others, and simplify.
I would love with you hear and learn from your ideas too! Feel free to leave a comment after any of the topics or you can contact me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Line an oven tray (cookie sheet) with parchment paper. Take a large piece of foil (large enough to fully wrap the fish like a present) and put it on the oven tray. Butter the foil. Combine the 4 tablespoons of butter and the shallots in a small bowl and set aside. Put the fish in the center of the foil. Season the entire fish with the shallot butter, inside and out and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Put the thyme sprigs inside cavity and top the fish with lemon slices. Fold the edges of the foil over fish and seal.
Bake the fish until cooked through, about 45 minutes. Transfer the fish to a platter. Open the foil and serve.

There's nothing quite like the arrival of the new good beer guide for pricking the conscience where matters of neglected local hostelries are concerned.
The Sycamore, Holmfirth
This morning's visit to Holmfirth's food & drink festival then provided a welcome opportunity to seek out a couple of regular Holme Valley guide entries I've been inexcusably ignoring of late.
The eye-catching Sycamore on the A635 'twixt Holmfirth and New Mill served a refreshing drop of Oldershaw's 4.4% Regal Blonde (a lager style brew using Czech & German hops) which sat surprisingly well on top of an earlier full English! The other guest here was the 4.8% Old Boy by the same outfit alongside the regular Tetley bitter.
The atmospheric interior of this comfortable pub I imagine lends itself well to the regular blues and folk nights it hosts and as for food, the very tempting lunch menu might well have had us staying a while longer had it not been for the big breakfast! Being about a mile out of the town centre there are no problems with parking or coach loads of tourists, who incidentally still descend on Holmfirth in great numbers despite the now redundant nature of that embarrassing TV show. The Sycamore comes highly recommended!
The Railway, Berry Brow, Huddersfield
Despite the signage The Railway at Berry Brow is no longer in the hands of the East Yorkshire Old Mill Brewery though does retain a couple of it's beers. This spotless gem of a pub, tucked away in the hillside above Armitage Bridge in the Holme Valley is well worth seeking out for it's great range of ales and friendly welcome from management and locals alike. The exceptional view of the valley from the back of the pub is set to become an even more engaging feature if plans to build a terrace are given the go ahead. Also in the pipeline is a mini beer and shrimp festival set to happen around a month from now so keep a look out for details. This afternoon's ales, all at £2.20 a pint, were from Acorn and Old Mill, plus Derwent's Late Summer (4.0%) & excellent Hansi's Oktoberfest (4.1%) in addition to the ever popular Kelham Island Pale Rider . The Railway also does Sky Sports so if you've been looking for somewhere to watch the match whilst enjoying a fine selection of quality real ales away from the busy town centre then here it is. Another highly recommended beer mine!

Citrix NetScaler SD-WAN Enhanced to Support Branch Network Simplification and Expanded Security
NetScaler SD-WAN Helps Enterprises Say Yes to Network Revolution, Enhances Secure, Reliable Application Delivery and Lowers Networking Costs
As organizations embrace digital transformation, IT departments are increasingly modernizing and streamlining their internal networks. Software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) is an important technology that IT is deploying to achieve this transformation ensuring local and remote office locations have the most secure, reliable access to mission critical data and applications. SD-WAN represents a $6 billion market opportunity for networking vendors and service providers by 20201 according to IDC, as this technology drives increased flexibility, reliability, and security that enterprise applications now require, while also lowering both capital costs and simplifying operations. Citrix, a leader in the SD-WAN market, today announced enhancements to its NetScaler SD-WAN platform offering features to enhance reliable and secure application delivery combined with intelligent branch routing technology.
With NetScaler SD-WAN, Citrix offers enterprises a simple yet sophisticated solution to quickly and cost-effectively begin wide-scale deployments of SD-WAN, reduce network complexity and set up their branch to consume applications from the cloud in a seamless and more secure manner. NetScaler SD-WAN is a comprehensive software-defined WAN solution that is easy to deploy and use in a single affordable appliance with integrated visibility and control. The turnkey solution incorporates application-aware virtualized WAN connectivity, dynamic routing, separate routing domains, WAN optimization, end-to-end visibility, support for the newest Citrix HDX protocols and secure internet breakout. To simplify and reduce cost of deployments, Citrix is introducing a new level of affordability for enterprise branches through new appliance options and its new cloud-based, secure Zero Touch Deployment services. Zero Touch Deployment eliminates the need for local technical staff by automating the deployment process and offers a tool to prevent rogue devices from accessing the network – a risk present in many existing solutions in the market.
The new features of NetScaler SD-WAN 9.1 address the many challenges enterprises currently face as they modernize their corporate networks with SD-WAN, including:
(1) IDC Research - Cloud and Drive for WAN Efficiencies Power Move to SD-WAN, Page 5, March 2016 #US41101416
Citrix delivered on its promise of a more reliable WAN and higher application quality with the NetScaler SD-WAN solution. The additional enhancements in the latest release of the NetScaler SD-WAN platform are compelling and the zero touch service with the new lower cost appliance will allow us to expand quickly as we add additional locations within our network.
SD-WAN has rapidly garnered interest from enterprises and service providers alike as we continue on our journey to the cloud and embrace SaaS applications, coupled with our insatiable desire for more bandwidth across distributed locations. Because of the associated complexity with this ongoing transition to cloud-based applications and services and related concerns around security, existing WAN architectures and deployment models are under pressure to cost-effectively adapt and deliver new capabilities and services
Today's market includes solutions that are simply 'a collection of technologies' that require multiple appliances, complex integrations and assorted management systems. NetScaler SD-WAN is a simple, yet sophisticated solution that helps customers implement SD-WAN in a quick, cost-effective manner, reduce network complexity, and enable employees to seamlessly consume applications from the datacenter or cloud.
