The former wife of Sydney hostage taker Mon Haron Monis took refuge in the Bay Area before she was murdered. Noleen Pal was stabbed multiple times and set on fire six months after she left Hayward, CA and returned to Australia. Monis had been charged as an accessory in the murder, but was not jailed for very long.
Ayyut Khalik, her Godfather, said that Pal had family in the Bay area and moved there to escape Monis's abuse. He told KPIX 5 that Monis was a "scam artist" and a "liar." Monis died on Monday morning in a shootout with Sydney police after taking more than a dozen people hostage. "He was abusing her, having her wear the hijab, and did not want her to talk with anybody," Khalik said.
Despite the abusive behavior toward his godchild, Khalik said "I never thought he would do something like that, no," he said.
Yet, Khalik was aware that Monis was an extremist. He knew that Monis had written hateful letters to the families of Australian war veterans killed in Iraq. In those writings Monis expressed pleasure in their deaths.
Khalik said that his heart is broken for his goddaughter, her children, and for those affected in Sydney. "I mean, those people were innocent. My goddaughter was innocent. Her kids were innocent," he grieved.

At week 32, I'm nearing the final stretch with baby #2. I find myself looking back, a way of bracing myself for the chaos, I suppose.
So when I found my notes from the first month with Ollie, I couldn't help but laugh (and cringe). I literally shuddered at the thought of those early days. But it is definitely nice to know that there is an end to the chaos and pain of those first few weeks!

A group of California lawmakers are pushing efforts to pass legislation that would prevent the Golden State from contracting with companies that refuse to do business with Israel, on the basis of discrimination and antisemitism against the only Jewish state in the world.
Assembly Bill 1552 is aimed at stopping the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which seeks to delegitimize the State of Israel through economic, political and cultural isolation. The Sacramento Bee notes that Israel is a member of the World Trade Organization and Assemblyman Travis Allen (R-Huntington Beach)'s bill would prohibit firms that boycott any member state of the WTO from holding California state contracts.
Allen, who introduced the legislation in January, says AB 1552's message is clear — "a real pushback against this fringe movement by a handful of extremists that are trying to demonize and discriminate against Israel."
While the bill has reportedly drawn support from Democrats like Sen. Bob Hertzberg (D-Van Vuys) and Sen. Marty Bock (D-San Diego), several Democrats are not backing it for reasons yet to be determined.
Additionally, the Bee notes that members of Israel's parliament, the Knesset, have also backed Allen's bill. Last month, the Knesset's Deputy Speaker, Hilik Bar, sent a letter praising AB 15552 for bolstering "California's long-standing alliance to their economic allies." Bar noted that in May and June, South Carolina and Illinois passed similar legislation and noted that "California must not only follow suit, but establish its place as a leader on this issue."
Allen told Breitbart News that "there is a huge effort across the country to fight back against the antisemitism and prejudice of the BDS movement." He noted how proud he was that historic anti-BDS legislation is on its way to being passed here in California.

The Importance Of Being Little
What Preschoolers Really Need From GrownupsAudiobook CD - 2016
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Christakis begins with a very simple premise: that, for preschoolers, schooling and learning are often two different things. That young children are much more powerful and capable than we often give them credit for, that they primarily learn through relationships and play, and that the educational push to make their school experience more focused on "academic readiness" runs counter to their natural inclinations for learning.
She then spends nearly 400 pages comprehensively exploring that idea across the many dimensions and aspects of early childhood education. She has been a child, parent, teacher, and academic, and all perspectives figure into her considerations. At times she's a little too unnecessarily jargony with her educational and academic language; at other times she's a little too wistfully nostalgic for childhoods of times now past and reliant on her own version of common sense; but she is always thorough in her considerations. Whether you are already on board with her premise, are tentatively willing to be converted, or find it misguided and want to debate her, this is a book worth engaging. I highly recommend it for all educators and suggest it for all parents as well.

Jose Maria Irisarri Steps Down From Spain's Vertice 360
Irisarri wanted to include independent investment platform N+1 in Vertice 360, but met with resistance from Vertice's primary shareholder Ezentis.
MADRID - Jose Maria Irisarri announced his resignation as president of Spanish conglomerate Vertice 360 Group, citing the end of a five-year cycle since the launch of the film and television group.
Irisarri, known for his Midas touch, will present his resignation at a Jan. 18 board meeting, maintaining his role as a board member, but stepping down as president.
Under Irisarri's leadership, Vertice has become one of Spain's leading players by acquiring key companies in each sector: boutique TV producer Notro, mainstream comedy film producer Telespan and Spanish distributor Manga Films among others.
Vertice, which offers its own international sales branch in addition to its core business of production services, also launched an international expansion, opening offices in Miami, Los Angeles, Argentina, France, Belgium and Germany.
"Having achieved the majority of objectives outlined five years ago and having survived a period of extreme difficulty in the general economic environment and in the audiovisual sector in particular, the president had planned a project to give continuity to the group's development strategy in this new stage that included, among other things, financial reinforcement via the inclusion of new partners," Vertice said in a statement.
Spanish news reports said Irisarri had sought to include independent investment platform N+1 with a capital increase of €25 million ($32.3 million) in Vertice 360, but met with resistance from Vertice's primary shareholder Ezentis and its president Manuel Garcia-Duran.
"Given the clear discrepancies with some of the main shareholders and to avoid conflict that could threaten the company's interests, Jose Maria Irisarri will leave the presidency in an orderly manner to give way to a stage the administrative board should define with a new business and financing strategy that a top executive can implement," the statement said.
Vertice 360 Group earned $153 million in 2010, with the film and TV services representing 58 percent of sales.

We lived in Indiana when Ivy was little. Our favorite bakery was Schmidt Bakery in Batesville, Indiana. We were on a road trip and were driving right by Batesville so we decided to take a little detour. We stopped for breakfast. We were so excited to eat our bags full of glazed donut holes! They have these awesome yeasty donuts and donut holes.
While we were enjoying our breakfast, Michael and I were talking about things that we remembered about the area. One of us mentioned that there is a courthouse nearby with a tree growing on top of it. Isabella was very excited by this idea. We decided that it was worth going a couple of minutes out of our way to check this out. The Tower Tree is a small tree growing on top of a tower at the Decatur county courthouse. It's in Greensburg, IN which is right down the road from Batesville.
Do you see that little tree? Isn't that cute? It's been there for a long time. It's a Mulberry tree. This little tree has even been on "Ripley's Believe it or Not" and apparently it brings a lot of tourism to the area. The girls really got a kick out of this. It gave us a little break to stretch our legs and was worth getting off the highway.
After this, we got back on the road to finish our trip. These little stop-offs have resulted in us seeing some really neat things over the years. There are so many little things that I would not necessarily go on a trip just to see but as long as we are in the area we will take the time to stop to see them. Have you seen this tree? What is your favorite roadside attraction? I'd love to hear it. Drop me a comment below!

Dinner with a couple of my kolkata travel buddies today was great! One of them will be heading to France to complete his studies, basically plucking himself from the familiar life as he knows it in Singapore and plonking himself in France to live and study for the next two years of his life, armed with only basic French. Just like that.I've been thinking if I'll be able to do something like that in my own life while im still young…to live life on a whim, so carefree and free spirited.
Good food, good cake, good company.The simple joy one derives from that flows forth so easily, yet so very preciously as the same time.
Another thing that's bringing me that bit of fun and joy in the mornings nowadays: I've invested in my first electric toothbrush! Dental hygiene just became so much more fun and effortless!

An occipital nerve block is the injection of a steroid into the occipital nerves, which are located at the back of the head, just above the neck. This procedure can be painful, so it is only recommended in cases where there is swelling, irritation, and pain around the area of the occipital nerves. As with most kinds of nerve block injections, a local anesthetic is applied to the site before the injection of the medication being used. Occipital nerve block injections are most effective in treating CRPS if the injection is given
very shortly after the diagnosis of CRPS.
Treating CRPS with Occipital Nerve Block
An occipital nerve block is not a very common treatment for patients afflicted with CRPS. An occipital nerve block should only be used in cases where a patient is experiencing debilitating headaches due to CRPS. Occipital nerve block treatment for CRPS should not be the only form of treatment that a patient is undergoing for RSD. Most physicians recommend a combination of drug therapy and physical therapy to properly treat CRPS.
If a patient shows favorable results after being given an occipital nerve block injection, the physician will usually want to administer another injection within a few weeks after the first. Nerve block treatment is progressive, so patients typically display better results after subsequent treatments. If a patient shows no results after the first occipital nerve block injection, the physician will seek other forms of treatment.
Other Nerve Block Options
More commonly, physicians utilize other forms of nerve block injections to treat CRPS. These include epidural nerve block injections, also known as stellate ganglion block injections, and lumbar nerve block injections. These sites are linked to the sympathetic nervous system. Epidural nerve block injections are recommended for patients that are experiencing CRPS symptoms in the upper body, particularly the arms. Lumbar nerve block injections are commonly given to patients that are suffering from CRPS
symptoms in their lower body, particularly the legs.
Occipital Nerve Block Injection
Prior to the injection, the physician will clean the injection site with an antiseptic. This is at the back of the head, so hair must be sanitized or removed. The injection itself takes only a few minutes, but doctors will typically schedule a period of at least forty-five minutes afterward to observe the patient in case of any adverse reactions, and to allow the patient to relax.
After Occipital Nerve Block Injection
After the injection, the pain may lessen or temporarily subside. This is due to the anesthetic, and patients should not use this as a sign that the treatment is working. Usually, the anesthesia will wear off within a few hours, and the patient will feel soreness around the site of the injection. This is in part due to the size of the needle that must be used, but the medication itself often irritates the tissue for a few hours after it is administered as well. It may be a few days after an occipital nerve block treatment
before a patient begins to feel relief of their CRPS symptoms.
Patients can typically drive themselves home after an occipital nerve block treatment. Due to the soreness that is typically experienced following an occipital nerve block injection, patients are often advised to rest for the remainder of the day.
Occipital Nerve Block Risks
As with any form of treatment, there are certain risks associated with occipital nerve block treatment. These risks are not particularly common. Risks are greatly decreased when an experienced CRPS physician is in charge of the procedure, and proper sanitization and sterilization techniques are followed.
Occipital nerve block risks include:
• Nerve damage
• Allergic Reaction to medication
• Bleeding
• Infection

Why use chair covers?
This is a question we are sometimes asked when exhibiting at wedding fayres. It is often difficult to visualise how a ceremony or reception will look and with so many wedding 'must haves' to consider, chair covers are often overlooked. The reality is though that for even modest budgets, a chair cover and sash will transform a room and bring together all the hard work you have put into the colours, dresses and centrepieces.
To help you decide if chair covers are for you or not, we have presented some photographs below of with and without chair covers. I hope that you agree that the white covers with coloured sashes and bows do wonders to what are otherwise plain looking banquet chairs!
For more information on our covers and styles please continue through our website: Chair Covers, Sashes & Bows, Hoods & Ruffles, Finishing Touches
Chair Covers
We offer Cotton & Lycra Chair Covers. Both are versatile and will lift any room where they are used. Final choice is usually simply down to personal choice, but please take a look at our slide shows below to see the difference.
Cotton Covers
There is nothing quite like freshly pressed linen and at Occasions Covered we stock 15 styles of cotton chair covers that are made to measure for different types of chair, and allow us to offer you cotton covers for most major venues across Essex.
Cotton covers are particularly well suited to rustic barns and golf course venues but will also offer a fresh feel to hotels and meeting rooms.
Lycra Covers
Lycra covers are more cost effective than cottons but their clean lines make them ideal for more cosmopolitan hotels, function rooms and any event where a tight and sharp finish is sought after.

It is quiet this morning. I sit here listening to my music while getting up the energy to take a shower and get some work done. I ran away from home again this weekend, and am sitting in rural AZ wishing that I lived out here instead of the city.
Peace is so easy to achieve, but hard to maintain. I can control my own actions and emotions, but can not control anyone else's. I need to learn to live my life realizing that I don't need to fix everyone. People will grow when they wish to grow, and learn through their own efforts. I can be there to guide them, but I can not force that growth.
Emotional growth is like a flower in that aspect. You can force an early bloom, and often it is breathtakingly beautiful. Then, it fades quickly, and the plant itself frequently suffers and never quite recovers.
I have a lot to do today. I have homework and some paperwork I brought with me, plus there are always things to do around here. I have found I actually like being busy and will find things to do when presented with down time.
I need to get back on track with school. I have let it go, and am now starting to feel some urgency with it. I will definitely work on homework during my down time this weekend (although after my shower... ).
I had lost my spirituality for a while, and I think I am starting to regain it. I am re-finding that sense of wonder at the world around me. The moon is full, and things are blooming.
Spring is in the air, and I am finding myself blooming too.
One last thing:
I salute the light within your eyes where the whole universe dwells; for when you are at that center within you, and I am at that place within me, we shall be one.

The Alphabet Book
In the studio, Barb worked on a quilt for a friend who was recently diagnosed with cancer. You can see her fabric selection spread out along the book shelf behind her. I love the way the colors work with my piece. That's atypical. Normally, she works in fall colors.
I worked on the alphabet book. To create a firm and durable edge, I stitched the binding in place by machine, turned and slip stitched it to the inside by hand, and then added two rows of top stitching again by machine. The binding is cut on the bias so it should wear well.
A wider strip of the blue between the two original blocks forms the spine. The pages are machine stitched in place. You can see the four rows of stitching in the image above. I back stitched significantly at each end so the pages wouldn't pull loose from continuous flipping.
The 1/4" between stitching lines allows the pages to sit comfortably when the book is closed and to lay open when it's in use. The linen is already doing its wrinkly linen thing. That's okay.
The original quilt had twenty-seven blocks including this Now I Know My ABC's... bear. I used it to sample different stitches but it seemed a shame not to repurpose it too so I picked out the red stitching, re-stitched it in grey, and then satin stitched it inside the back cover.
The blocks on the cover are no where near square. It was impossible given the parameters. Instead, it's eccentric, handmade, original, a gift of love, any other phrase you can think of and even so, someone looking at the book without knowing the details from its history is going to wonder at the discrepancy between the lack of squareness with the blocks and the overall squareness of the book. Once you know the history, the twenty-seven year difference in skill levels is quite evident. The book is mostly done. I want to add a label to the inside of the front cover.
With the exception of the red yarn ties and the original, straight cut, way too narrow, not done quite right, binding, I've re-used every part of the original quilt. There are not further bits lying around the studio waiting to become something else. This is good. So often, you're left with a pile of "stuff" and you're not sure what you're going to do with it. Like scrap breeding in the night.
Talk soon - Myrna
Grateful - This week, we'd scheduled a contractor to change the access to the downstairs bathroom from inside Kyle's bedroom to off the hallway because Kyle is away for ten days. The contractor was supposed to start Monday and then couldn't and planned to come Tuesday instead. Because he hadn't already started, we called and asked if we could put the project off due to possible strike action and he said he was relieved. He had wanted to fit us in because are good customers but he was really too busy. I'm so thankful that worked out well and that he didn't need the job right away. It's very upsetting when someone cancels a job you were financially counting on. I've had it happen to me and I'd hate to do it to someone else.

Myrna - the book is beautiful. The only thing missing is a "made with love by Grandma" label ;)! And who knows, you might be showing your grandson (or some friend of his/another grandchild) how to quilt someday and be able to use this book as an example.ReplyDelete
I have spent much of my time in my sewing room lately. Not working on such a fun project, but a commission (4 bridesmaid skirts). Lots of poly chiffon. I've the 4th to finish today YAY! and am going to take a break and sew something different before I go bonkers!
Nice that it worked out about the contractor - the timing there was excellent.
Enjoy your day sewing with your friend.Replies
Thank you. I've decided the book is a gift to my daughter so I'll write a message to her in it. I don't want to give it to only one grandchild and since it's remnant of her baby quilt, it seems to me it should be her gift.Delete
Good luck with the dresses. I could not do that. I'm not a sew for other poly chiffon girl in any way. I admire your ability.
It's more like survival at this point. I'm reminding myself that I really hate sewing multiples....so need to say "no" the next time I'm asked to take something like this on. Still the entire thing is more done than undone which is keeping me going!Delete
Your grandson will enjoy that book in the months to come. For now, your daughter will love the work and love you've put into it. Delightful.ReplyDelete
So glad that the contractor could put off the work for you. And I do hope the strike doesn't come to pass.Replies
LOL - I hope so. Thanks.Delete
I'm glad the contractor was so understanding as well.
A strike would not be good in many ways but it would be excellent in another in that the owner has been walking over the employees for the past three contracts and needed a wake-up call. The vote may have done that though.
Better late than never....ReplyDelete
My first cup of coffee on Thursday and I am reading the Wednesday posting. How typical of me.
Truly you have made a tutorial of how to repurpose a quilt into a child's soft book. It is a shame that you do not "teach" through U-Tube. It is a way to make it back into the vision of your former students and to make it into the view of new students.
While you were making the book I was following the procedure. My grandson is 12 so there is no chance of making a book for him, but I can make one for future generations...but I have started a Hope Chest for him when he finds the perfect match to start them out.
Karen in S.W. OhioReplies
LOL - lovely to have you whatever the day.Delete
I'm resting on the teaching idea at the moment and trying to let it show up if it's meant to rather than manipulate. It's hard. I'm either resting or not resting. I can't seem to totally put it down.

Well, this came pretty much out of nowhere.
For Alain Vigneault, when asked about attaining consistency and on-ice adjustments the Rangers might adopt this year after defensive-zone chaos rained on any hope they would participate in a 2016 Canyon of Heroes parade, responded not with technical talk but for the need of an attitude readjustment from this year's remodeled squad.
It was strong stuff coming from a coach who seldom has used his press-conference podium as a bully pulpit.
"Consistency is all about being a professional," Vigneault said following Tuesday's system-oriented practice, during which the coach was loud and emphatic in delivering instructions. "The coaches and management, since the beginning of camp, have gone out of our way to let players know what's expected of them as far as their on-ice performance, off-ice demands, the way they're supposed to conduct themselves in different situations.
"Once you know that, and know that's being a professional, then you know that it's up to you to go out and do it. We've asked our leadership group to make sure that when we're not around that the players are conducting themselves the way they're supposed to and that they've got their priorities in order. That's what we expect from this group."
Uh, woah.
Vigneault, who always has delegated authority to his core players throughout his 15-year NHL coaching career, said he didn't necessarily believe the Rangers had allowed their priorities to slip last year or had danced too many nights away at Avenue, but it is clear he believes the club's dedication to hockey detail needs to improve every bit as much as, say, its coverage in front of the net.
"Everybody would have their theories about last season, whether it be priorities; whether the demands of playing so many playoff games over the years finally caught up to the team; or whether they were a little mentally or physically fatigued," said the coach, whose team stumbled through the final three-quarters of the year winning fewer than half its games (30-24-7).
"But whatever theory you subscribe to, I would say right now I feel the energy from this group. There seems to be a heightened awareness on everything that we're trying to do."
Vigneault spoke after the players had left the locker room. But Marc Staal indirectly had alluded to the issue of preparation in an earlier conversation with The Post about the different atmosphere this time around.
"The last couple of years we were talking about what we were going to do in the playoffs for the entire six months of the season and I think last year we lost focus on what we needed to do on that specific day and in that specific game," Staal said. "It was too much big picture.
"This year, there is much more of a small-picture focus where we're putting in the work each day and are excited to see where that takes us. We're optimistic and we believe that we're going to be a good team but we're not looking past anything.
"There's pressure on us to make the playoffs, and that's a good thing. We all want to see what we can be."
Thus, the priority is to take it one day at a time, to focus on each game's 60 or 65 minutes rather than on making amends for falling just and/or excruciatingly short the previous spring or two.
"We've turned the page on last year," said Vigneault, who is intent on ensuring that book stays closed.

Project Overview: Kraut Source is a DIY device to ferment foods in mason jars. Some examples include Kimchi, Pickles, and Sauerkraut. In August 2014, (10 days into their Kickstarter Campaign), Food Guru began managing their social media accounts targeting health-minded audiences (vegans, paleos, homesteaders, DIY, etc.) to help them reach their goal.
Our role has expanded to website updates, content creation, blogs, contests, consulting, photography, digital posters, promotional material, video production, social media engagement/management, PR, and brand ambassadorship at events (such as participating at the Kickstarter Pavilion at the World Maker Faire in New York, San Mateo Maker Faire, and San Francisco Renegade Craft Faire). We frequently act as customer service by being a liaison between the customer base and the founder to communicate about FAQs, updates on the business, and more. As Kraut Source's marketing department, we are an active voice in the fermentation community. Additionally, we have used our Food Guru networks to make introductions to Kraut Source for business opportunities, partners, and media contacts/press.
Results: 10 days into the Kickstarter Campaign, Kraut Source had raised $70,000 and had 170 followers on Facebook. Food Guru was hired to create content and build an online community on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. As a result, Kraut Source raised $184,000 on Kickstarter. Food Guru has organically grown Kraut Source's community to many thousand through engaging content and interactive dialogue across all social media platforms. With immediate customer service, the Kraut Source community continuously expresses their appreciation.
As brand ambassadors, Food Guru was instrumental in getting Kraut Source to participate in events like the Maker Faire (New York & San Mateo), Green Festival (San Francisco), Renegade Festival (San Francisco), Urban Epicurean Festival (San Francisco), and Farm to Fermentation Festival (San Rosa). At these event, we worked as the field marketing team by setting up/designing the booth and speaking with thousands of attendees; as a result, we sold hundreds of Kraut Sources, signed up hundreds to the newsletter, and was awarded the Editor's Choice in New York and in San Mateo.

NEW YORK -- Much of what has been said and written about the amazing stock market of 1987 has been the veriest codswallop.
The problem, I have decided after diligent and scholarly research (accompanied by a regular beer), is that all these people are doing the wrong kind of analysis. The big argument in Wall Street is over whether the most important kind of analysis is fundamental analysis or technical analysis. Both sides are wrong. If you really want to understand Wall Street, the most important analysis by far is psychoanalysis.
We are dealing here, not with the beautifully computerized, imposingly scientific, coolly professional world of Wall Street`s self-composed legends, but with a certifiable nut house. Once you`ve understood that, you`re halfway home to riches beyond the dreams of Boesky.
Fundamental analysis deals with stuff like the state of the economy, the outlook for the industry, the earnings prospects of the particular company. You know: facts.
In retrospect, fundamental analysts are explaining the historic early-1987 stock-market surge in terms of their specialty. That`s natural enough; the alternative would be to resign in disgrace and go into more productive work.
So we`re told that the economy is in a period of disinflation, with stable interest rates, and that companies have streamlined in the face of foreign competition and are thus more efficient and producing more significant earnings.
All of that, as it happens, is absolutely true. But the problem is that it was also true in late 1986, when the market alternately swooned and stalled.
Which takes us to the technicians -- or, as I have dubbed them in recognition of their similarity to other mysterious alchemists, ``the elves.``

(Century Media Records, 2017)
Every metal fan has that one or two special bands that have left an indelible imprint on their psyche -- that colored their musical tastes forever. I'll never forget the day back in late 1992, when my teenage self received a mix tape in the mail from an online penpal friend (TML's own Craig Wisnom, BTW). In the past few years I had just getting into some of the bigger metal bands such as Maiden, Metallica, Zeppelin, Slayer, Queensrÿche, and Savatage, but I craved to dig deeper. I popped that cassette into the stereo in my room, and the first tones that greeted me were those of on angelic choir singing the melody to "Carmina Burana" over a slowly-descending metal riff. Suddenly, a furious and incisive galloping thrash riff exploded amid wicked shrieks from the lead singer. Who was this amazing mystery band that had rendered me so awestruck?
The band that opened that mix tape was Iced Earth, and the songs "Angels Holocaust" and Desert Rain" had set the wheels in motion for a lifelong obsession with Jon Schaffer's (not so?) merry band of metal mavens. Fast forward nearly seven years, and I was lucky enough to experience my very first IE show in my then-hometown of Denver. Not only was the show itself intense and brutal beyond the bounds of mere words, but my friends and I also got to meet band members such as Schaffer and singer Matt Barlow, who were extremely cool and gracious with their time. The whole experience was surreal and amazing, and I dare say it gave all the other shows I've attended ridiculous standards to try to reach. My IE fandom was permanently fixed in stone. Now in 2017, after 30 years, many lineup changes, and 11 previous studio albums to their credit, Iced Earth have returned with a largely commanding statement on Incorruptible.
Before delving too deeply into Incorruptible itself, a few words should be said about Iced Earth's musical evolution over the decades. On the early masterpieces, such as the self-titled debut (1990), the iconic Night of the Stormrider (1992), and the hugely-underrated Burnt Offerings (1995), IE's music largely centered around Schaffer's unique guitar riffs. His rhythm playing was thrashy but also incredibly precise and intricate, particularly with his picking hand. Those high-energy, stuttering thrash riffs collided with melodic vocal lines to create an inimitable hybrid of thrash and traditional metal. Over the years, IE has gradually streamlined their song structure, toned down some of the aggression, and emphasized lusher production values, grand lyrical concepts, and singalong vocal lines. Therefore, their music on recent albums has often been lumped in with the Euro "power metal" movement, somewhat unfairly and to their detriment. It is safe to assume, however, that the blisteringly-intense speed metal of Stormrider's halcyon days are probably gone. For die-hard fans, the options are to accept this evolution and listen with open ears, or to move on.
Thankfully, there's a lot for the IE faithful to love on Incorruptible. The year off they took from touring due to Schaffer's second cervical fusion surgery seems to have provided the band a nice boost in the inspiration department. The return of the thunderous timepiece in longtime drummer Brent Smedley is most welcome, as is the addition of new lead guitarist Jake Dreyer. Not to cast shade on any of Schaffer's former guitar counterparts, but Dreyer's playing takes the melodies and solos to another level of technical sophistication and artistry. His solos are sufficiently flashy without devolving into self-indulgence, his phrasing and sense of melody flawless. Lead vocalist Stu Block has locked into a solid groove on his third album with IE. While his detractors likely still won't care for his singing, he still capably mimics the rich lows of baritone Barlow and the eardrum-puncturing shrieks of Tim "Ripper" Owens. As a whole, the band sounds tighter and more comfortable on these tracks than they have in nearly a decade.
The album opens auspiciously with the promising head-ripper, "Great Heathen Army." This speedy number alternates between some of Schaffer's trademark palm-muted 16th notes and galloping triplets, and some infectious vocal melodies from Block. IE reduces the tempo a few notches but not the intensity level on "Black Flag," an irresistible pirate anthem that features some inspired riffing and guitar harmonies. Another highlight is the blistering thrasher "Seven-Headed Whore;" this galloping, decapitating juggernaut recalls IE's classic aggressive moments such as "Violate" and "Pure Evil." "Raven Wing," by way of contrast, is a haunting ballad that opens with a delicate acoustic intro only to take listener on a roller coaster of emotions. The pounding, accented verse riff segues seamlessly into a catchy chorus, followed by a pair of delicious solos from Dreyer. By the time IE launches into the intricate, harmony-infused interlude section, the listener just may be rendered speechless.
Other highlights include the anthemic instrumental tribute to Native Americans, "Ghost Dance (Awaken the Ancestors," and the uplifting, Irish jig-ish Civil War epic, "Clear the Way (December 13th, 1862). Some of the other tracks are less effective, to varying degrees. Dramatic power ballad "The Veil" is catchy and pleasant enough, while "Brothers," Incorruptible's third ballad, seems redundant and a bit too maudlin for its own good. More middle-of the-road tracks such as "The Relic (Part 1)" and "Defiance" would sound fine for a new, unsigned band, but come across a bit flat in the context of IE's high-quality canon.
No, Incorruptible is not a perfect Iced Earth album. But its best moments far outweigh its underwhelming ones. After all, to quote the band onstage, it's still ICED, MOTHER, F***ING EARTH!

Buzz Welker Memorial
The Buzz Welker Memorial is schedule for Monday March 21st 2016 @ Grand Champions Polo Club.
The Polo School At Grand Champions Wins
WELLINGTON, FL-March 26, 2013-The future of polo, looking bright as ever, was on display for four hours Monday at the Buzz Welker Memorial Tournament at Grand Champions Polo Club.
Ganzi, 14, a freshman at St. Andrew's School in Boca Raton, is carrying on his family's tradition in polo. He started playing polo at age 5 and competing seriously at age 12. He has honed his skills playing not only with his parents, both pro team captains, but also at the 12-goal level and junior tournaments. Ganzi also competed in interscholastic tournaments in Atlanta and Virginia.
"I have played with these guys and against them, we have all played together," Ganzi said. "We knew when we saw our team on paper we had a good chance, a fun game and a good match-up."
Phelps Media Group, Inc. (PMG), based in Wellington, Florida, is a public relations firm primarily focused on promoting events and people in the equestrian world.
"That first game was flying out there. Everyone was working and playing as a team. Some of these kids are scaring me a little bit, they are go good. You got to start somewhere and this is where you start. It's important to have nice people like Marc and Melissa to make this all happen, it's hard to organize. They donate their time and money. In Argentina, the juniors have more support."

By Sara Dabney Tisdale
How do you portray an elf-child? A demon offspring? A baby born from sin? A freak?
These are all descriptions given to Pearl, Hester Prynne's illegitimate daughter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne in The Scarlet Letter. The product of Hester's affair with the Reverand Arthur Dimmesdale and the symbolic manifestation of Hester's adultery, Pearl is a challenging character to play on many fronts. Pearl is smart. She sees meaning in things. She flits between earnest and cynical. She dances and giggles and pouts and throws tantrums. Hawthorne suggests that Pearl is otherworldy, too – sent by God, as Hester argues to Governor Bellingham, to serve as her mother's punishment as well as her redemption.
So where does this motley combination of traits leave me as an actor playing Pearl's character? Throughout the rehearsal process, I wanted to tease out the entirety of Pearl's fantastic, colorful personality, but I also wanted to ground her actions in circumstances that were very real. It would be easy to play Pearl as the proverbial bad seed – even a tool of the devil – intent on terrorizing her mother. Indeed, so much of Pearl's character is preternaturally spooky: "It was as if an evil spirit possessed the child, and had just then peeped forth in mockery," writes Hawthorne of Pearl's interactions with Hester.
But while Pearl's character is spiteful (and, OK, slightly demonic) at times, our director, Renana Fox, and I decided that the more challenging (and, ultimately, more creatively rewarding) approach was to tackle Pearl as entirely human – but a child whose troubling mannerisms spring from her social isolation and her ignorance of the reasons for her status as an outcast. Pearl isn't a demon– she's a loner.
Isolation is nothing new for Hawthorne's key characters. But Pearl's isolation is unique in that it's not a result of her own actions – she's an innocent in the business of Hester's sin. Judgmental adults avoid her, and hateful children bully here. As such, Pearl learns early on to reject others as dangerous.
As our director Renana pointed out, a key to Pearl's isolation is her ignorance. The adults in her life have cut off her access to knowledge. Because Pearl is precocious and observant, she naturally seeks to know more about her society and her world. Pearl doesn't know what the scarlet A means, but she does know that invoking the A is a tactic she can use to provoke her mother into answering her questions. The letter becomes a symbol for all the secrets Pearl doesn't know, a feeling only amplified by Dimmesdale, with "his hand always over his heart."
But how to funnel all this rich detail into Pearl's voice? And how to play Pearl, as Isabel Smith-Bernstein's script demands, from an infant to a toddler to a 7-year-old to an expectant mother?
I started with some YouTube research on the way children speak. What struck me, regardless of their age, was the free, un-self-conscious quality of a child's way of speaking. There is confidence and imagination and delight in creating thoughts and sentences. It was critical to imbue Pearl's speech with this confidence. Because she has learned to own her role as an outcast, Pearl doesn't care what others think of her declarations.
Yet, as Pearl ages, so does her vocal character: Infant Pearl cries. Three-year-old Pearl is both mischievous and joyful, but she can't yet articulate her words. Seven-year-old Pearl is bitter; she has learned to articulate her speech in an uncanny and precocious way, and to use that articulation to her advantage. Adult Pearl – whom we only meet in a concluding letter to her mother at the end of the play – is much more at ease than her childhood counterpart. Having escaped "small-minded" Massachusetts, Pearl enjoys a life of freedom and love in England. Her voice is stripped of the anger she held as a child; there is warmth in her words, and her maturity, happiness, and intelligence combine to create a clear, sincere voice.
In everything, I strive for confidence and intelligence – Pearl's enduring traits that carry her from toddlerhood to adulthood. But in the end, I don't think I'll ever have Pearl's character and voice completely pinned down. I suspect, with Pearl, that's the way it's supposed to be.

In this paper we study an optimal control problem (OCP) associated to a linear elliptic equation on a bounded domain $\Omega$. The matrix-valued coefficients $A$ of such systems is our control in $\Omega$ and will be taken in $L^2(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^{N\times N})$ which in particular may comprises the case of unboundedness. Concerning the boundary value problems associated to the equations of this type, one may exhibit non-uniqueness of weak solutions--- namely, approximable solutions as well as another type of weak solutions that can not be obtained through the $L^\infty$-approximation of matrix $A$. Following the direct method in the calculus of variations, we show that the given OCP is well-possed and admits at least one solution. At the same time, optimal solutions to such problem may have a singular character in the above sense. In view of this we indicate two types of optimal solutions to the above problem: the so-called variational and non-variational solutions, and show that some of that optimal solutions can not be attainable through the $L^\infty$-approximation of the original problem.
Optimal $L^2$-control problem in coefficients for a linear elliptic equation. II. Approximation of solutions and optimality conditions
In this paper we study we study a Dirichlet optimal control problem associated with a linear elliptic equation the coefficients of which we take as controls in the class of integrable functions. The characteristic feature of this control object is the fact that the skew-symmetric part of matrix-valued control $A(x)$ belongs to $L^2$-space (rather than $L^\infty)$. In spite of the fact that the equations of this type can exhibit non-uniqueness of weak solutions, the corresponding OCP, under rather general assumptions on the class of admissible controls, is well-posed and admits a nonempty set of solutions [9]. However, the optimal solutions to such problem may have a singular character. We show that some of optimal solutions can be attainable by solutions of special optimal control problems in perforated domains with fictitious boundary controls on the holes.

Will the tribunal accuse me of being unreasonable if my employer makes me an offer through Acas early conciliation and I decide to turn it down?
No. Acas early conciliation is confidential. This means that the tribunal will not know anything about any offers that were made or turned down during the conciliation process. This works both ways. You will not be allowed to tell the tribunal about any efforts you made to settle the case through Acas or any unreasonable behaviour by your employer during Acas conciliation.

Destination Reviews
The attractions of the city of Copenhagen are as varied as the people of Denmark themselves. There are numerous art museums featuring modern art, ancient architecture, and also local painters; in fact the city itself is somewhat of a Danish museum with its multitude of castles, palaces, fortresses, and churches. Amalienborg Palace is the residence of Queen Margrethe II, set on a charming cobblestone square and home to the royal family since 1794. Nearby is Christianborg Palace, the seat of Danish government that is situated on an island in central Copenhagen and features the ornate Renaissance "Reception Chambers."

Lack of holiday lights draws complaints
Lack of holiday lights draws complaints
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa —
The mayor of Council Bluffs says he's willing to lead a discussion on funding for new Christmas lights downtown.
Mayor Matt Walsh says he's been receiving complaints about the quality and quantity of Christmas lights. He says that over time, some have burned out.
Walsh tells the Daily Nonpareil that the holiday lights were bought by businesses and interested residents, not by the city.
The decorations aren't in the city's general budget, and he says that he's unsure if they should be.
He says the lights are expensive to buy and store.

Mini Network Storage Adapter turns any USB storage device into a versatile file-sharing server for use on a local area network (LAN).
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) February 4, 2010
Internet-based technology company, IPEVO, Inc., has slated early February 2010 for the premiere of its newest product--the Mini Network Storage Adapter. Mini Network Storage Adapter turns any USB storage device into a versatile file-sharing server for use on a local area network (LAN). Users--both wired and wireless--can share and access files located on the USB storage device through their accustomed operating system environment--either Mac, PC, or Linux.
Mini Network Storage Adapter's name is derived from its small size--it measures only 2.9 x 2.5 x 1.2 inches, and is lightweight at a mere two ounces. The leprechaun green, box-shaped adapter features an Ethernet port to connect to a router, as well as a high-speed USB 2.0 port to connect to the storage device. Mini Network Storage Adapter is powered with an included AC adapter. By default, the adapter uses a dynamic IP address assigned by the router, though it can be configured to use a static IP address.
Device management for Mini Network Storage Adapter is accomplished through an included interface called the IPEVO Mini Dashboard, which appears in the administrator's default web browser. Dashboard provides several customization options, including: set up and modification of FTP and Samba (SMB) servers for users (up to 8) to connect to the storage device; password protection and access restriction; the choice of which folders to share; disk utility features like scanning, power-saving shutoff mode, and FAT 32 formatting (drives must conform to FAT32 format); and one-click firmware upgrade for any future versions of the software.
Dashboard also allows a network administrator to make video, photo, and music files available for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and iTunes, allowing users to stream multimedia content directly from the drive. In addition, Dashboard features a BitTorrent client to facilitate Torrent downloads. Up to 4 Torrent files can be simultaneously downloaded directly to the USB storage device, without the need for a computer intermediary. Additionally, up to 32 Torrent files can be queued at one time. The BitTorrent client provides the ability to pause, stop, and restart Torrents in the download queue. Users can also elect to receive email notification when a Torrent is fully downloaded.
IPEVO's Mini Network Storage Adapter will be released worldwide in February, and will be available exclusively through the company's online store at http://www.ipevo.com, at a price of $59.

Tristan Walker , age 31, Stanford MBA, turns down a half billion dollar buyout offer from Schick®, Gillette®, and Proctor&Gamble® to keep his black men's skin care and grooming line BEVEL®.
At 18, Tristan Walker had never even heard of Silicon Valley. By the time he turned 30, the New York City-native could boast of successful stints at cornerstones like Twitter, Foursquare, and as an entrepreneur in residence with the legendary venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. It was there, after working alongside some of the brightest minds in American business, that he hatched a plan to launch his first (and if you ask him, his last) venture: Walker and Company, a health and beauty company for people of color.
Walker's reasoning is straightforward: African Americans are underrepresented in both Silicon Valley and in the health and beauty industry, which begets a massive opportunity to solve some pretty vexing problems. Its first product is Bevel, a shaving system specially designed for African-American males and others with coarse hair. But if you ask him, it's just the beginning of a roadmap that stretches more than a century.

Hidden Craft Room Treasures
Whew, it's been a crazy month! Between my grandmother's hospital stay, Grand Assembly, and working on Creative Spark I just haven't had any time for much else. There's been no jewelry-making and only the basic house cleaning. In fact, all the time spent in the craft room has been on the computer. Today I got a chance to clear some of the clutter that's piled up around the house and in the craft room. In doing so, I discovered stock piles of supplies I've gotten and simply tossed in the craft room.
Now that I can walk through the craft room again, I can't wait to get my hands on some of these treasures and all the other amazing supplies I've had stashed away. First we're going to enjoy what's left of the weekend with a paddle in the river. But, I'm actually looking forward to Monday!

Indonesian Super Tucano crash kills four
February 10, 2016 • Leave a Comment
TNI-AU Embraer EMB-314 Super Tucano serial TT-3108 (MSN 31400184) at Tenerife North Airport, Spain during its delivery flight on September 15, 2014. The aircraft and its two crew were lost in an accident on 10 February. (Photo: Manuel EstevezR / Click on image for high resolution version)
An Indonesian Air Force (TNI-AU) Embraer EMB-314 Super Tucano turboprop light attack aircraft (serial TT-3108) crashed into a residential area in Malang, East Java, on the morning of 10 February, killing a pilot and a flight engineer onboard and two civilians on the ground. The aircraft was undergoing a test-flight from where it is operated by Skadron Udara 21 at Abdul Rachman Saleh Air Force Base. The pilot ejected from the aircraft but was found still strapped to his ejection seat some distance away.
The TNI-AU has in its inventory 12 Super Tucanos from an order of 16 placed in two batches in 2010 and 2014. The remaining four are to be delivered later this month.
The fleet of Super Tucanoes have been grounded while investigations are ongoing. This accident comes as the air force is still reeling from several high profile incidents in the past year, including the loss of a T-50i Golden Eagle and its two pilots at an airshow in December and the crash of a C-130 Hercules in June which killed 121 crew and passengers.

An introduction to converting your barn with a timber frame
The varied rural landscape of Cornwall holds many a hidden gem of a barn and barn conversions have become popular in the county. A barn conversion can maximise your existing space and it is a great chance to play with the architecture of the internal space whilst keeping the overall character of your property. Here we give an introduction to timber frame barn conversions and some helpful tips.
Oak is the traditional timber frame material because of its strength, durability, and is ready in availability. In contemporary timber framing we also use Douglas fir, a straight grained softwood, as well as the versatile material, glulam.
Barn conversions often have to keep the original character of the building, so a timber frame is an excellent way of doing this because of the long tradition of timber framed barns. The possibilities of converting your barn with a timber frame really are endless and they can range from a striking traditional frame with a vaulted roof, to a more contemporary looking one combined with steel. You could take influence from the style of traditional barns local to you. This local vernacular can be shown in your frame through the roof trusses you choose to use as traditionally these varied through different regions.
Barns can be thought of as dark places, but timber frames can be made with applied glazing which gives you frameless windows. When using timber frame glazing there are many options available to you which can offer solutions to getting day light into your barn conversion. Roofs are often a key feature to a barn and there can be restrictions on how much they aesthetically can be changed. However, these restrictions do not mean a dark space as with timber frame glazing walls and gable ends can be glazed giving you lots of light and character.
Cornwall has an amazing heritage and preserving this calls for specialist skill. We are often called upon to replace rotting timber roof trusses with exact replicas. We recently undertook the replacement roof for the King Edward Mine museum in Troon and the roof for Ponsanooth Chapel after it was fire damaged. Our traditional techniques meant that we could match the replica roof trusses with the originals.
If there is a single rule to converting your barn it is be true to the building. Ensure that the barn retains its essential character and does not simply get turned into a house. All that we do at Carpenter Oak Cornwall is based on historic precedent, even a brand new barn style house carries forward all that we've learnt from visiting old barns, churches, and medieval buildings. We have worked with many leading builders and architects and we take the time to research your build, so that together we can share what in effect will be a labour of love.
