Few events can bring communities together. Sure, things like hurricanes and natural disasters that bond us in unwanted ways. However, each June for the past four years, the Miami Heat has united us as a community in a way that few positive events can.
That's not to say a pro sports franchise can perform miracles, especially in its own backyard. Miami is still one of the most impoverished places in the U.S., and recent studies show the income gap between rich and poor in the city is third widest in the nation. While gazillionaires sit courtside, homeless lie in the streets just feet away from the arena. The economic benefits to the rest of the region, including Broward and Palm Beach counties, are also suspect.
But there are intangible benefits to civic pride, and evidence that as the Heat's fortunes have improved, so have ours. Their ascension has coincided with our own economic recovery. Three years ago, South Florida was still gasping from the great recession. Four straight NBA Finals later, the jobless rate, which was hovering over double-digits in 2010, has dropped to 6.6 percent in Miami-Dade, and 5 percent in Broward.
In the meantime, home prices have spiked. The real estate market website Zillow.com reports that in 2011, values in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale metro hit rock bottom, selling for an average of $141,000. Now in 2014, they are in the $190,000 range. That's an increase of nearly 35 percent.
Even population growth, essential to the tax structure of our state, had begun to level off during the great recession. That's not the case anymore as our region and state has resumed rapid growth.
As for tourism, the impact may be negligible outside Miami-Dade, but the NBA and hundreds of reporters have now made the region a June tradition, bringing their dollars and attention at a time that's considered low season for the region's number one industry. The summer tourism business has never been hotter over the last three years, and Miami's becoming the annual center of the basketball universe is helping that happen. The halo effect should also be felt in Broward, Palm Beach and the Keys.

Ute Park Restaurants
Do you want to advertise your restaurant for free in the town of Ute Park?
Ute Park, NM has one of the widest choices of restaurants, of a region its magnitude, in the whole of the US. Just about half of the restaurants in Ute Park are full-service restaurants with three quarters of the others offering restricted help. The extra restaurants inUte Park are principally drinking places and caterers that put forward certain in-house cuisine.
Full-service restaurants in Ute Park tend to recommend quite a lot of menu categories, as well as starters, salads, side orders, desserts, and more drinks, with quite a few choices within each class. Cooks and chefs will organize the items to order, starting from grilling a burger to organize an added complicated and stylish menu item. Waiters and waitresses present table service in comfy surroundings. Customers increasingly be keen on dining at mid-scale or family restaurants, typically organized by a large group. By contrast, customers at the better Ute Park dining places tend to hunt for a nicer atmosphere with competently primed cuisine and laid-back, professional service. Whilst franchises are an eminent piece of the restaurant business, a lot of customers in Ute Park fancy dining in non-franchised owned and locally operated restaurants.
The most frequent style of a limited-service restaurant in Ute Park, NM is a franchised firm of a national restaurant group selling fast food. Like elsewhere, these restaurants in Ute Park includes a set menu, the lack of waitresses and waiters and an emphasis on cleanliness and a professional service. Menu collections will put forward a limited range and are made ready by people with negligible cooking or food-management skills. Food typically is served in disposable take-out cartons that keep the food's heat, allowing restaurants to set up meals in advance of customers' wishes. A upward number of fast-food restaurants in Ute Park, NM are now providing drive-through and walk-up services.
Restaurants are the most widespread and time-honored industry in the USA. The greatest restaurants, especially the greatest restaurants in Ute Park, NM present
- Freshly prepared food focused on indigenous favourites
- Menu choices with the intention of suiting each person in the group
- Competent and motivated personnel that smile!
- Hygiene
- Every one of the list above at a reasonable price!
Individuals of Ute Park are acknowledged for their fondness of restaurants that offer something that alternative restaurants do not exhibit and they like restaurants where the workers operating the business in attendance in all honesty like what they are doing.
The populace in Ute Park are looking for restaurants with the aim of making you feel great after eating there.
The clients attracted to establishments in Ute Park fluctuate according to numerous factors, including the kind of food presented, cost, locality and the marketplace the restaurant is aimed at.
To attract clients in Ute Park, NM you should focus on
- High-earning individuals or families with a substantial sum of disposable salary but little moment in which to spend it. This customer grouping includes the mounting number of lone householders, as well as dual-takings family unit groups.
- Business people on cost accounts to boost lunchtime custom plus evening meals. The usefulness of this market often tends to keep to the wider fluctuations in neighborhood companies.
- Holidaymakers are important for numerous restaurants in the vicinity. Bear in mind that visitor numbers to Ute Park vary according to the seasons, and winter, specifically, may see poorer trading.
- Kids. The influence of children has created a noteworthy market unit that impacts on family choice for meals. This has been easily chosen by the large conglomerates who, led by the burger chains, target family by means of their marketing.
- Working women. Married women partake more than sixty percent of all household errands, hence easy access to meals is welcomed as one fewer task to undertake. Cost tends to be an important issue affecting the choice of this set, along with the quality of the food.
- Grazers. As lifestyles have changed, the established 3 meals per day have been replaced by a tendency to graze or eat on the hoof. Convenience plays a large part in this group's choice of venue.
- The appearance of a large group of retired people with a higher level of disposable income and increased leisure time. Research indicates that this grouping tends to eat out during the day as a leisure pursuit.
If you are running a restaurant in Ute Park, NM you should
- Make out the best locality in order to charm passing trade. If you are planning to rely on word of mouth and make your trade over a very prolonged period, position will play a critical fragment in the eventual triumph of your enterprise.
- Settle into your schedule (and make sure your workforce are familiar with their tasks!) and then encourage reviewers from the Ute Park media to conduct a restaurant appraisal - a positive evaluation is apt to boost resident attraction in your company.
- Make it a certainty you are listed in regional food and restaurant guides. This will mean enrolling with the Ute Park holiday handbooks and this will also appeal to folk from farther afield from the direct district.
- Advertise in newspapers read by your target audience. Ute Parkbusiness magazines and newspapers more often than not offer moderately costed advertising space.
- Stand out from the crowd by selecting an special illustration or theme and applying it to your decor, employees uniforms, crockery and cutlery, and menus.
- Market distinct audiences depending on the time of the day or season of the year. Mutually daytime and evening menus may possibly be provided, with on a daily basis specials offered to vary the habitual bill of fare.
- Use exclusive offers to boost business through slovenly periods, with mid-afternoon discounts for pupils and elder diners, and special kid's menus open to catch the attention of families. Christmas is an important phase for most restaurants, because it offers the opportunity to expand business owing to corporate parties and can be an initiation to your restaurant for would-be new clients who may return throughout the rest of the year.
As word-of-mouth public relations is of the highest significance for Ute Park restaurants, it is critical that your client service should always be attentive, on time and polite!

Talk: What to Expect when you're Expecting a Book Baby
Taking a book from a word document to the shelf can be a long process, filled with plenty of unknowns, hard labor, and thrilling milestones. I'll share my own experience, as well as offer insight into what to expect through (and beyond) that debut year…and how to enjoy the process. Hint: it involves preparation, persistence, professionalism, and a peer group.
Workshop: Slaying the Synopsis
A synopsis has one job: to summarize your novel or writing project, from beginning to end, without flashy bells and whistles. It differs from a query letter in that its purpose is to showcase the entire narrative arc rather than simply highlight the major plot points and main character's journey. The synopsis also provides structure to a blossoming book idea, so you can catch plot pitfalls and soggy character arcs…all before committing a single word to the page. However, regardless of its benefits, the synopsis is one of the most dreaded and loathed writing tools out there. In this workshop I'll offer practical tips and tricks for how to write a killer synopsis that gets the job done, without losing your mind — or your creative energy — while you do.

I recently moved to Barrie and am interested in hosting a weekly study and workshopping session in my home. You don't have to be an accomplished poet to participate, just someone who loves poetry, and wants to read and discuss the works of great poets as well as developing your own writing skills in a supportive environment.
Please email me at email@example.com if this sounds like something you might enjoy.

Dorothy Sjöholm recently completed an MFA in Creative Writing through the optional residency program at UBC. Her work has appeared in journals in Canada, England and U.S.A. including The Antigonish Review, The Adirondack Review, Lichen, Jones Av., and Aesthetica and has won recognition from The Scarborough Arts Council, The Ontario Poetry Society, and The Writers' Community of Durham Region.
On Sunday, November 15, editor, publisher, poet, and literary consultant, Allan Briesmaster will speak on the business of small publishing in Canada. He'll give an insider's perspective from his extensive experience in the industry, detailing the mechanics, the struggles, the management of submissions, and the handling of rejections.
For the workshop following the talk, Literary Editing: How One Publisher Does It, Allan has offered to comment on up to four (4) pages of work submitted in advance.
We are so fortunate to have such generous and wise guest speakers!

Don't miss WCSC's next meeting with Shawn Syms.
June 21
The Long and the Short of It
– The Art and Commerce of Short Fiction
Many consider short fiction a way to "break in" to the literary-fiction publishing market – but it is a distinct artform, to which many people devote entire careers. Short stories offer a vision of life that is distilled and essential. Shawn Syms, a short-fiction author and critic, will discuss what differentiates the best short stories. He'll also offer personal insights on how to strategically manage your publication-seeking efforts – and increase the likelihood that the right editor at the right publication will see your most well-suited story at the right moment. There will be ample opportunity for questions and conversation.
Optional Workshop to follow the talk:
From Inspiration to Distillation
In short fiction, every word counts. In this workshop, Shawn will explore the opposing personae that one must inhabit in order to successfully compose short stories – the Dreamer, and the Butcher. Through some entertaining and stimulating writing prompts, participants will let their creative juices flow. Then, after reviewing some tips, best practices and examples, we will ruthlessly edit our work such that it is transformed – for the better.
Shawn Syms has written for over 25 years for more than 50 publications. Shawn wrote the short-fiction collection Nothing Looks Familiar, a National Post pick for the Top Books of 2014 recently seized by the Michigan Department of Corrections because it "may encourage criminal activity." Shawn is currently at work on a novel about the power of filthy lucre, fetishistic sex and compulsive gambling called Money Changes Everything.

His first memoir, Paper Shadows, was a finalist for the Governor General's Literary Award for Non-Fiction, the Charles Taylor Prize and the Drainie-Taylor Biography Prize. Choy's second memoir, Not Yet, is the bonds of love and family that sustain us, framed by Choy's own two near-death experiences.
Is your writing dead or alive?
It's a compelling issue in the craft of writing. This February 22nd Toronto novelist Susan Swan will focus on how to make your work live on the page.

It shares a narrator with her international bestseller, The Wives of Bath. The Western Light was nominated as one of the best books of 2012 fiction and non-fiction by the Ontario Library Association. A feature film based on The Wives of Bath was released in the summer of 2001 in the U.S. and Canada under the title Lost and Delirious.

Writing What's in Front of You:
Narrative Nonfiction and the Personal Eye
with Ian Brown
In a world of 24-hour news cycles, instantaneous Twitter feeds and countless other digital distractions, well-written long-form narrative non-fiction (essays, journalism, memoirs, true stories) is making a comeback. Why? And how? How does the non-fiction writer decide what to write about? And how does one write nonfiction that people want to read?
Journalist, author and Chair of Literary Journalism at Banff, Ian Brown will speak at WCSC's January meeting on the craft of journalism.
Following the talk, he will also offer a one-hour workshop where participants are invited to bring an idea for a piece of longform nonfiction in order to discuss its approach and process.
In addition to having been Rogers Communication Chair for Literary Journalism at Banff for five years, Ian Brown is an acclaimed roving feature writer for the Globe and Mail. He is equally well-known for his work on CBC radio, where he was the moderator of Talking Books for more than a decade, and hosted Sunday Morning and Later the Same Day. He also presents pre-eminent television documentary shows on TVO's Doc Studio. With Paul Tough, he founded open letters, the first online magazine of first person journalism in letter form. He is the author of FreeWheeling–which won the National Business Book Award–and Man Overboard, and most recently edited the anthology What I Meant to Say: The Private Lives of Men. His most recent book, The Boy in the Moon, was chosen by the New York Times as one of the ten best books of 2010. In his spare time he paints, reads and skis in the back-country. He lives in Toronto with his wife and two children.

with Carlos Vilchez
Join us on Sunday, October 19 for an afternoon of laughter and learning with comedy writer, Bruce Pirrie.
In his talk, A Perfectly Good day Ruined, or But Enough about You, Bruce will share snippets of his career as an actor, improviser, television writer (Red Green, Second City Live), feature film writer, book editor (Sue Kenney's My Camino, Confessions of a Pilgrim) stage (Second City) and television (Caution: May Contain Nuts) director and producer. He will then take questions.
The workshop which will follow a break for lunch, titled, Making your Writing Laughable, will consist of both the structural analysis of a Second City sketch and utilizing improvisation techniques as a guide for writing pretty much anything.
Bruce graduated from York University in Toronto with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, majoring in Film Production and English. After working for a short time in a film library, he made a fateful decision and took a beginner's improvisation class at The Second City. After a few weeks he was invited to audition for a spot in the cast of the Second City Touring Company (the 'farm team" for the Second City Mainstage). He auditioned successfully, joined the company, and has been living with that fateful choice ever since.
Bruce then began a long and fruitful association with Second City that saw him move from being an actor in the Touring Company, to a lauded Mainstage performer at the legendary Old Firehall who wrote and performed in six reviews. He then turned to directing and created 12 original shows for Second City theatres in Toronto, Las Vegas and Chicago.
Bruce has also been a Head Writer, Director and Producer of various Second City stage, television and film projects. Through this association with Second City Bruce has been nominated and received various national awards including; Dora Mavor Moores, Geminis, and the Canadian Comedy Awards. But more important than awards, Bruce had the pleasure of working with the Who's Who of Second City, which also means he has worked with some of the greatest comic performers of the last twenty-five years.
He has a vast range of experience in stage, television, radio and film and draws on the experience and insight accumulated from his years as an improviser, actor, writer and director.
Recently Bruce has written for The Ron James Show and was nominated for a Gemini Award in 2010 for "Best Director in a Comedy Series.
He teaches comedy writing and performing at Humber College and Ryerson University in Toronto.

Codename Suzette: An extraordinary story of resistance and rescue in Nazi Paris
|Anne Nelson
|Anne Nelson
Suzanne Spaak was born into the Belgian Catholic ruling class and married into the country's leading political family. Her brother-in-law was the Foreign Minister and her husband Claude was a playwright and patron of the painter Renee Magritte. Having moved to Paris in the late 1930s she appeared to part of the elite. Her neighbour was Collette, France's most famous living writer, and Jean Cocteau was part of her circle of intimates. But Suzanne was living a double life. Her friendship with a Polish Jewish refugee led her to her life's purpose. When France fell and the Nazis occupied Paris, she joined the Resistance. She used her fortune and social status to enlist allies among wealthy Parisians and church groups.Under the eyes of the Gestapo, Suzanne and women from the Jewish and Christian resistance groups 'kidnapped' hundreds of Jewish children to save them from the gas chambers.In the final year of the Occupation Suzanne was caught in the Gestapo dragnet that was pursuing a Soviet agent she had aided. She was executed shortly before the liberation of Paris. Suzanne Spaak is honoured in Israel as one of the Righteous Among Nations.'During the German occupation of France, Suzanne Spaak displayed almost super-human courage, setting up an elaborate network to save Jewish children while working with numerous resistance groups. Anne Nelson has written an extraordinary book that finally does justice to Spaak's story of heroism and sacrifice.' Andrew Nagorski, author of The Nazi Hunters'A riveting book about a truly heroic woman in a Paris of resignation and shame. A must read !' Diane von Furstenberg, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman I Wanted to Be'At a time when we most need heroes, Anne Nelson gives us Suzanne Spaak, an undiscovered heroine of the French Resistance.' Kati Marton, New York Times bestselling author of True Believer and Enemies of the People'One person of courage can make a difference. But, as Nelson's gripping book shows, doing the right thing can also come at a price.' Alan Riding, author of And the Show Went On: Cultural Life in Nazi-Occupied Paris

Jennifer is amazing! I had not had family pictures made for 10 years. We have a special needs child and the stress on all of us to take pictures was just too much. We decided that this was the year to take pictures. Not only did Jennifer schedule two different settings but she made both of them fun and exciting. We actually had a great time. The final product was amazing. Everyone compliments our pictures and the variety of the settings. She has captured my family in a way I will never forget. It is without hesitation that I give my highest recommendation to this professional, fun and creative photographer. Family pictures once a year for us from now on, but only with Jennifer!
- Sherry W.
Jennifer took my daughter's one-year pictures and it was a fantastic experience. Jennifer was great with my daughter, especially since at one year there is not much attention span! Jennifer was patient and worked with her moving around to get some amazing candid shots. She picked a great location outside and moved us around to get a lot of varied scenes. Jennifer got our proofs back to us quickly. Working with Jennifer was a great experience and I would definitely recommend her, especially for working with small children!
- Paula V.
Our family LOVED having Jennifer take our family pictures! She made us feel comfortable and relaxed. We laughed and enjoyed our time. The weather was amazing (which I know Jennifer doesn't control) but it added to the "perfect" photo shoot. Jennifer keeps things moving and quickly gets the cute shots, which is great when you have kids who don't want to "pose" or smile for too long! We have loved the results every time Jennifer has taken pictures for us. We get the proofs so quickly which is great because we can't wait to take a look! The colors are always so beautiful on our pictures, so much so that I could not wait to put together our Christmas card and send them to everyone!
- Michelle S.

My Neighbor
She is the twin of trouble
They possess identical features
She personifies nosy
The queen of gossip she is
She knows EVERYONE
Befriends all
Hers is a sad story
Her children,
Gluttons and 'walk-abouts' is what they have become
Her husband,
Like her he has become
A fool for all seasons.
Oh what a home she has!
In great need of prayers…
Her tales fill the streets
The older women regard her with deep scorn
Knowledge of her ways is an open secret
Whispers here… Whispers there
Some pray for change
Some pray she pays for her crime against womanhood
But she remains stupid, ignorant of her crime…
She is my neighbor
A disgrace to womanhood
Source of shame to her generation
What do I pray for??
I only hope it's not too late…
At least for her innocent children.

So, it's been decided that instead of covering one big story and creating a Storify project of it, I will be doing a number of storify's on different stories. This means that I'm going to be making quite a few, some longer than others.
So far I've made three storify's for my project: one on Sonisphere's cancellation, one on Sport Relief and one on light pollution.
I'm aiming to make approximately another three or four projects. I must admit, I am finding them quite interesting. I really like searching through all of the social media streams.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman (July 3, 1860 – August 17, 1935) was a prominent feminist, sociologist, and writer. An early American feminist, The Yellow Wallpaper is her best-known work.
Gilman was born in Hartford, Connecticut to Mary Perkins and Frederic Beecher Perkins. During her infancy, her father abandoned the family, leaving them in an impoverished state. As Mary was unable to support the family on her own, Charlotte and her family were often assisted by her father's aunts, namely Isabella Beecher Hooker, a suffragist, Harriot Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin, and Catharine Beecher, an advocate for women's education. Surely Gilman's relationship with her father and his aunts contributed to her feminist views and her career in writing.
In 1884, Gilman married Charles Walter Stetson, an artist. Their only child, Katharine Beecher Stetson, was born the following year. Gilman suffered a serious bout of post-partum depression in the months after Katharine's birth. Her depression continued and worsened for the following years. In 1887, Gilman wrote in her diary that she was very sick with "some brain disease" to the point that her "mind has given way." She could not even leave her bed, read, write, sew, talk, or feed herself.
Charlotte entered the care of Dr. Silas Weir Mitchell, a renowned specialist in nervous diseases. Dr. Mitchell prescribed a rest cure and instructed Gilman to have no more than 2 hours of intellectual life per day. He also encouraged her never to write again. Charlotte followed Dr. Mitchell's advice for a few months, but her depression deepened. According to her husband's diaries, she began to display suicidal behaviors and talked of pistols and chloroform.
In 1888, Gilman separated from her husband, and the two legally divorced in 1894. Also in 1888, Gilman rejected Dr. Mitchell's advice and resumed a normal life. It is this return to normality to which Gilman attributes her sanity.
Following her separation from Charles Stetson, Charlotte moved with her daughter to Pasadena, California, where she became active in several feminist organizations, including The Pacific Coast Women's Press Association, the Woman's Alliance, the Economic Club, the Ebell Society, the Parents Association, and the State Council of Women. In 1896, she served as a delegate at the Suffrage Convention in Washington, D.C.
Gilman's writing career truly launched in 1890 when she wrote fifteen essays, poems, a novella, and the 6,000-word short story The Yellow Wallpaper. Gilman wrote The Yellow Wallpaper in just two days, on June 6th and 7th, 1890. It was printed a year and a half later in the January 1892 issue of The New England Magazine. Gilman wrote the story to change people's minds about the role of women in society, illustrating how women's lack of autonomy is detrimental to their mental, emotional, and even physical well being. The story was inspired by Charlotte's own experience with depression and rest cures. Dr. Mitchell's name even makes an appearance once in the text. Gilman sent a copy of the story to Dr. Mitchell; he never responded.
In 1894, Gilman sent her daughter to live with her former husband and his new wife, Grace Ellery Channing, who was a close friend of Gilman. In her memoir, Gilman stated that she was happy for the couple, and that Katherine's "second mother was fully as good as the first, [and perhaps] better in some ways."
After her mother died in 1893, Gilman moved back east for the first time in eight years. She contacted Houghton Gilman, her first cousin, whom she had not seen in roughly fifteen years. They began spending a significant amount of time together and became romantically involved. They were married in 1900. Gilman continued her career as a writer during their marriage, and in 1909 she single-handedly wrote and edited her own magazine, The Forerunner. Over seven years and 2 months, the magazine produced eighty-six issues and featured serialized works including What Diantha Did (1910), The Crux (1911), Moving the Mountain (1911), Herland (1915), and With Her in Our Land (1916).
Charlotte's second husband died unexpectedly of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1934, at which time she moved back to Pasadena to be closer to her daughter. In January 1932, Gilman was diagnosed with inoperable breast cancer. An advocate of euthanasia for the terminally ill, Gilman committed suicide on August 17, 1935 by taking an overdose of chloroform. Her autobiography, The Living of Charlotte Perkins Gilman, was published posthumously in 1935.
Though not her first or longest work, The Yellow Wallpaper is definitely the most celebrated work of Gilman's long career. Since its initial printing, The Yellow Wallpaper has been anthologized in numerous collections of women's literature, American literature, and textbooks. It has inspired two radio plays, several stage adaptations, four short films, two feature length films, a T.V. movie which aired as part of Masterpiece Theatre, and even an episode of The Twilight Zone titled "Something in the Walls."

11:30 pm - Tesco rant
Sorry for actually posting but....
So I had an interesting experience at Tesco ( Fulborn ) today, I wanted to buy some anti-histamines and some painkillers so I ended up buying three tins of chocolates 6 packs of anti-histamines and two packets of paracetamol and two packets of ibuprofen. I did try to buy some more but something happened....
I was using a self service register and they always annoy. So someone came over when I put the third pain killer though the till and they said I wasn't allowed to buy more than two painkillers in a single transaction. So I completed that transaction and started another one for the next two packets. I completed that and had started another when I was told that I was not allowed to buy any more. I asked why and they said it was company policy.
Basically I ended up being surrounded by the manager for the checkouts, the deputy manger for the store and a security guard. And they wouldn't let me leave the store with the medicines I had bought, they kept on saying it was against company policy. When the store manager turned up I started recording this on my ipod, I told them I was doing this and they told me to stop because of company policy I refused. I was really shaking and felt very intimidated and unwell I also left my card in the card reader I was so shaken. I have about 10 minutes of audio where they will not let me leave the store with the items I had purchased. I did ask them to ring the police when the said they really were not going to let me out of the shop with the medicines I had bought. Eventually the manager said it was the medicines act and I think he said 1998 but I can only find an 1968 medicines act which googling implies that it limits the drugs that shops which are not pharmacies are allowed to sell. I did then give him the extra packets of paracetamol and ibuprofen but refused a refund as I just wanted to leave the shop. This has really shaken myself and my 10 year old son who was with me up.
Even if I wasn't allowed to buy the medicines are they allowed to stop me from leaving the building ? I did pop into the police station later in the day to ask if they were allowed to detain me and they said it was a civil mater. I also asked the police if Tesco had rung them and they refused to answer.

03. Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!
This was a painting done by my youngest child when he was about 3, so the originals is about 5 years old and I have used it as wallpaper ever since. I have cleared the contents of the Desktop up but that needed doing anyway and now you can see the background.

You're a Slytherpuff!: This is a rare combination
but those that are true Slytherpuffs are not
people you want to make your enemy. You take
loyalty very seriously and if someone gives you
their word you expect them to keep it. You
either project a cold exterior and have a heart
of gold inside or you seem all cuddly and nice
on the outside and you are ruthless on the
inside. People frequently underestimate you but
this usually suits your purpose. Whoever has
your loyalty is a very lucky person because you
will fight tooth and nail to protect them. You
have a protective streak and you like to
champion the underdog. In life, experience has
taught you that it's better not to be too
idealistic or expect to much of other people.
Still, deep inside you, you still have hope
that everything will always turn out for the
best. Your weakness is that sometimes you trust
blindly, follow without question and this can
lead you into trouble. With the loyalty of a
Hufflepuff and the ruthlessness of a Slytherin
you are a formidable person!

They laughed when Frank Gibbs showed up for a white-tail deer hunt on a ranch in Alabama last year armed with his primitive muzzleloader rifle.
After seeing more game than anyone and shooting the biggest buck, Gibbs and his classic Dixie Tennessee mountain rifle earned new respect from hunters using sophisticated modern guns. They may have been surprised, but it merely reinforced what he already believed about hunting the old-fashioned way.
``I`d say nine times out of 10 a guy who hunts with a muzzleloader is a better hunter than someone who only hunts with modern weapons because he knows his weapon better and is more dedicated,`` said Gibbs, a Pompano Beach resident and charter member of the Everglades Cap and Ball Muzzleloader Club. ``You don`t need a high-powered rifle to kill game. Anything within normal shooting range of 50 to 100 yards, you`re going to be able to shoot it with a black powder rifle. You`d be amazed at the accuracy.``
That isn`t the reason Gibbs will stick with his muzzleloader through general gun season this fall. For serious black powder hunters, the difference runs deeper than the distinctive crack and puff of gray smoke vs. a high-tech boom. It is a difference of philosophy.
The shooting is secondary. Shooting can be done at a range anytime. This is hunting, afterall. It is something more basic and more precious to purists.
``A bunch of us just like to get back to the past and hunt like our grandfathers did,`` Gibbs said. ``For all black powder enthusiasts that stay with it, the primary interest is in giving the game more of a chance. It makes the hunt more exciting and fun because it`s more adverse, and you have to work at it harder.
``If hunting was just killing, I`d get very bored. To me hunting is being in the woods and involved with nature. You can`t get bored with pure nature.``

Daemonisation with a feedback
This short article describes how to use in your application a proposed set of functions which simplifies building daemons with a feedback from a child process to a parent one.
The code has been tested with gcc 3.4.2 on Linux. Most probably it will work without changes on other platforms.
First version of the daemonisation functions set. It uses SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 sinals' handlers, two bool variables and the sleep call for waiting. It is good only because it was extensively used in some projects.
Second version of the daemonisation functions set. It does not use global variables. It uses the sigwait call for waiting. It is not perfect only because it was not tested thorough in real applications.

Article V Convention Part 2: State "Control" A Fabrication
Read the Constitution IT's NOT THAT LONG
[More on Article V/Con Con/Convention of States]
Tennessee Watchman Mon-Sat:
11AM on 105.1fm WVRY | 6PM on 1400am WJZM
Many folks I respect and call friends, support the Article V Convention. I was rabidly supportive myself until I did my "due diligence" research into the actual facts. I can't blame anyone for clinging to hope for a way to change the direction of this nation, but I will not and hope you will not drive blindly off the cliff and take our nation with you. I don't know who is responsible for this deception but I am certain THEY have a plan to take advantage of a "Convention Call", and have been planning it for decades.

157 new emoji will roll out this summer, including several freshly-approved food items
2018 emoji to include the long-awaited bagel, lobster, moon cake and more foods
Fresh food emoji are on the horizon for 2018. The Unicode Consortium will roll out 157 new ideograms this summer, including the highly anticipated bagel, cupcake, moon cake, mango, salt shaker, leafy green (e.g. bok choy or choy sum), and lobster.
The proposed representation of the bagel has already elicited some criticism. The Forward called it a "monstrosity," adding that it's "barely a bagel" and "needs to be banned."
According to Emojipedia, the bagel is "likely to be presented sliced to differentiate from doughnut at small sizes." In its current state, it's plain with nary a schmear in sight.
The lobster, although warmly welcomed by the Maine senator who petitioned for its inclusion, has its own issues. Being a decapod, the crustacean has five pairs of legs (10 total), not four pairs as depicted in the emoji.
U.S. Sen. Angus King, who reportedly wrote a letter to Calif.-based Unicode requesting the emoji be added to its library, seems nonplussed by the anatomical inaccuracy.
"Great news for Maine – we're getting a lobster emoji!!! Thanks to @unicode for recognizing the impact of this critical crustacean, in Maine and across the country," he tweeted.
The final specifications for the new emoji update will be released in June, according to a statement. Expect to see them on your smartphone either later that month or in early July.

A camera is a tool. This does not sound too emotional and is a true statement in the first place. A camera is a device to transform an idea or a concept of an image into a Photograph.
The point is, that for every assignment or project one can chose the best possible tool to achieve the best possible result. This is of course very personal.
In this section of my blog, I will tell you about my journey from DSLR to the mirror-less FUJIFILM X-series cameras.
It all started after one of those days where you sit on a plane back home and you feel really tired. Not so much because of the job itself but more because of all the hustle with getting all the gear on location, setting everything up, taking test shots etc. A huge Photo-backpack plus a trolley – that's a large weight and volume. With my brain telling me that 'professional equipment' has to be like this, my heart and soul kept pushing me to think out of the box. Then change happened. Having tried a FUJIFILM X-Pro1 for two days, I had a strong feeling, that this little mirror-less camera with a marvelous 35mm prime lens might be the beginning of something new and interesting.
The rest is history. Being a People & Portrait, Event and Architecture Photographer the FUJIFILM X-system offers everything I need from a camera – and more than that!
Knowing your gear better makes it easier to achieve the best possible results. I recommend you might want to read some of my recent postings ("Knowing your gear", part 1, part 2 and part 3). Teaser: The last part is tackling the web's favorite topic "The AF is so/too slow". I would love to read your comments and findings on that.
Today, I am using both for professional and private use a variety of X-cameras, X-Pro2, X-T2 and the X100F as my "always with me" camera. Feel free to check out my "SINGLE MOMENTS" project on Flickr.
If I would have to chose one single camera out of the family, it would be most likely the actual model of the X100 series – Why ? You can read the answers in my "Mastering the FUJI X100T & X100S" book.
Nothing about the GFX? The medium format monster …. Don't worry … I have been working with this amazing camera during the GFX-Roadshow and will come back to it later.
In the following sections, I am talking about the various camera models and lenses. Feel free to share your thoughts and comments with me and all the readers here. Thank you.

I've been back in Oregon for just under two months. In that time, I've made a trip back to NYC for work and in both cities, many people ask many of the same questions. When I moved to NYC 13 years ago, I couldn't stop talking about it. For some reason, I haven't wanted to talk about this move at all. I don't know why. Everyone's curiosity is so kind and I receive it as such, but I just find that I simply don't want to talk about my move.
Maybe it's because there were a lot of feelings about my move. I had people get angry and resentful that I left. I had one person end our friendship because they thought I should "always be there" and resented that I moved away. My last few months in NYC were exhausting between holding the feelings others had about my leaving, to managing my own feelings about my leaving, to actually doing all the things one has to do in order to friggin' LEAVE.
Since I've been here, I've not reached out to many of my old friends. Part of it is that where I live there isn't reliable mass-transit and we only have one car. I'm also still traveling a lot so it's hard to make plans when it seems like I'm on a plane every other day. And it's also that I've not wanted to recap the last thirteen years–why I moved to NYC to do theater and didn't. How most of my time was spent Covening and corralling Witches, which is a vulnerable thing to explain. Will they understand? Will they smile and nod? Will they walk away shaking their heads, thinking I wasted an opportunity?
At the same time, I get the desire to know. I hear of people moving and I want to know, too–where they're going, why, etc.So, to satiate curiosity I've pasted a bunch of answers to some of the questions a lot of folks have had. Again, I do appreciate the care and curiosity, but to take some of the awkward off me, I've answered a bunch of the FAQs I've had since being here, below:
Why did you move?
New York is expensive and exhausting. Ten years ago, I was at art shows almost every night and doing incredible stuff. I don't do that anymore. My life had become work, writing, Tarot, and yoga. My husband and I weren't interested in navigating the subway, the crowds, and the costs of enjoying "all that New York had to offer." Many nights, I'd come home so exhausted from just being alive in NYC that my creative ability was seriously low. I think my readings were starting to suffer as well.
We wanted to buy a house (which we did! Closed last week!) and it wasn't going to happen in the city. We chose Oregon for the cost of living, the job market for my husband, and proximity to the cutest niece and nephew in the history of the world.
Where are you living?
At the moment, we're in Newberg, which is about an hour from Portland, but we're moving to McMinnville on Thursday. Wine country!!!
Is it serious culture shock?
Mostly no–except for the first day. We woke up and there was no milk for coffee and no bodega on the corner. Getting milk required getting into our car and driving to the massive supermarket two miles away. Aside from that, no. I grew up here. Also, one thing people don't realize about NYC is that it's really a collection of small towns. Particularly if you live in a neighborhood like we did, Inwood, you start to know everyone pretty quickly from the grocery clerks to the homeless people.
Is it just like that show 'Portlandia'?
Yes. And never mention that again.
What are you doing for work?
I'm still with my NYC company, working remotely.
Are you still doing readings?
I am! Because I work East Coast hours, I am still keeping a regular reading schedule for my East Coast clients.
Will you be running a Coven or teach classes in Oregon?
I am holding off on regular classes through the summer so Husband and I can get settled in our new home. Come this fall, I may do something around here, but I'm not ready, yet.
As for leading a Coven, I'm really unsure. For the last year, I've struggled with some serious Magickal and leadership burnout. I stopped attending public circles because I couldn't feel anything. It was like trying to eat a favorite ice cream and realizing it had no flavor. It made me sad.
When my fires were feeling as low as they ever had been, I still had to keep going as transitioning out of Coven and community leadership is extremely demanding. It's not about delegating tasks. I could delegate all day until I was purple with polka dots. It's the withdrawal of the energy which I'd tapped into for nine years and which had tapped into me. When I gave up caffeine (because it was fueling me, but also draining me), I was exhausted every day until I could tap back into my own energy. Obviously, I have some growing to do around sustaining myself, etc. etc. etc. before I can think about another one.
And what are you doing out there, besides work?
I'm writing! A lot! I have free time, now. I have no commute, which is fabulous. But even if I did, there simply seems to be more hours in the day outside of NYC. People in Portland complain about how bad traffic has gotten and yes, it's gotten worse since I've left. BUT IT'S NOTHING COMPARED TO NYC. AT. ALL.
Do you miss NYC?
I miss the people, but I don't miss the needs for living.
Will you ever come back?
Not to live. That chapter is closed. But I'm actually getting to NYC about once a month these days. In fact…..
I'm teaching a class on the Celtic Cross on Thursday, May 25th at Soul Journey in Butler, NJ! If you're around, please join me! Registration and further information available at this link.

MSNBC has had enough of Alec Baldwin after less than two months' worth of shows.
Will Hollywood follow its lead?
The liberal network brought Baldwin aboard for his celebrity cache as well as his knack for drawing headlines–for better and worse. It didn't matter that he frequently explodes in public with hate-filled exchanges that should have warned network executives to stay far away from him
He was a progressive in good standing, and it was worth a gamble to see if he could draw a crowd.
Turns out Baldwin's combustible personality extended to the work place, as reports painted his brief MSNBC tenure as full of diva-style moments.
The talented actor never seemed to suffer for his outbursts. He worked regularly on 30 Rock, collecting awards for his turn as the conservative Jack Donaghy. He appeared in two Woody Allen films (Blue Jasmine, To Rome with Love) as well as mainstream fare like Rock of Ages and Rise of the Guardians.
Meanwhile, some of his peers got punished for saying the very wrong thing, from director Brett Ratner (lost gig producing Oscars) to Isaiah Washington (career purgatory after using gay slur). Lest we forget the pop culture punishment meted out against Michael Richards for his sole ugly outburst.
Not Baldwin.
Will that change now that a bona fide liberal body deemed him unfit for the air? Hollywood teems with hungry, gifted actors scrambling for their next role, and at some point a director will consider Baldwin's other body of work and decide he or she would rather go with another actor in the part.
If that happens, today's firing will be a big reason why.


text: Evening Report (VIP) -- October 28, 2013 October 28, 2013 09:49 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Pro Farmer Editors Email CORN HARVEST 59% COMPLETE... USDA reports as of Sunday that corn harvest has crossed the halfway mark, which suggests harvest-related hedge pressure should begin to ease. USDA says 59% of the crop has been harvested, which compares to 91% last year and 62% on average. Traders expected harvest to be around 52% complete. Illinois has 74% harvested (68% average); Indiana 59% (62%); Iowa 55% (60%); Minnesota 48% (61%); Nebraska 55% (equal to average); and Ohio 49% (47%). In its last crop condition ratings of the season, USDA says the portion of crop rated "good" to "excellent" improved by two percentage points to 62%, with the "poor" to "very poor" ratings down one percentage point to 13%. SOYBEAN HARVEST MORE THAN THREE-QUARTERS COMPLETE... USDA reports that 77% of the nation's soybean crop has been harvested, which is within a percentage point of traders' expectations. This compares to 86% last year and is on pace with the five-year average. Illinois is 85% complete with harvest (77% on average); Indiana 78% (79%); Iowa 87% (86%); Minnesota 91% (88%); Nebraska 94% (88%); and Ohio at 81% (76%). WINTER WHEAT CONDITION DECLINES... USDA reports the condition of the winter wheat crop slipped, with 61% rated "good" to "excellent," which is down three percentage points from last week. USDA rates 4% in "poor" to "very poor" shape, which is equal to week-ago. Winter Wheat very poor poor fair good excellent This week 1 3 35 54 7 Last week 1 3 31 58 7 Year-ago 4 11 45 36 4 USDA says as of Sunday that 86% of the winter wheat crop was planted, compared to 87% last year and 85% on average. Meanwhile, USDA says 65% of the crop has emerged, compared to 61% last year and 64% on average. Kansas has 74% of the crop up, compared to 72% on average. Oklahoma has 73% emerged (69%) and Texas is at 56% (54%). COTTON HARVEST 34% COMPLETE... Cotton harvest continues to progress slowly, with 34% of the crop out of fields as of Sunday. This compares to 21% last week, 47% a year-ago and 44% on average. This suggests some harvest-related hedge pressure is still ahead for the market. Texas has 31% harvested (34% on average), with Arizona at 30% (38%). BEHIND THE SCENES FARM BILL ACTION... The first farm bill conference session takes place Wednesday. Not much news is expected out of the first gathering because it will largely consist of opening statements from the hefty number of conferees. But behind the scenes, ag panel staffers and key lawmakers continue their attempt to reach an overall agreement on key portions of the farm program safety net, with the following four key issues: Parameters of the Price Loss (Target prices) Coverage program; Parameters of the Revenue (Ag Risk Coverage/Shallow Loss payment program); Parameters of the Supplemental Coverage Operation (SCO) program; and Whether to use planted or base acres in calculating payments. A compromise plan regarding planted/base acres has been discussed but no final decisions have been made. House farm bill participants easily dismissed a farm group lobbyist suggestion to go with base acres on establishing program payments, but allow for a base update. That would have easily favored corn and soybean producers who have seen significant increases in planted acres in recent years. Senate negotiators, sources say, continue to push for an "all-in" approach to safety net programs whereby producers would qualify for both revenue and price loss coverage, but if a producer wanted SCO, he or she could not qualify for revenue loss coverage as well. The key for an all-in approach would be the target price levels for commodities that the Senate goes along with. An all-in approach would also mean the Senate's favored revenue plan would have to be shaved back. Read more. FIRST BUDGET CONFERENCE SESSION WEDNESDAY... The 29-member budget conferees on Wednesday finally begin discussing a host of thorny issues in an attempt to come up with what most do not expect to occur: an agreement. Some Senate and House Democrats hope for a quick budget conference deal to prevent a deeper second round of sequester cuts and to avert another budget stalemate. But this Congress has shown they have a hard time doing anything quickly. "A deal that redid the sequester for a short period of time is something we could talk about," said Rep. Chris Van Hollen, the Maryland Democrat who serves as ranking member of the House Budget Committee. House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) suggested a deal to replace the waves of automatic spending cuts that will come under the terms of the 2011 Budget Control Act, but he also lowered expectations for a broader deficit reduction deal. Most do not expect what has been called "a grand bargain." The GOP is willing to replace the sequester if it gets entitlement cuts, while Democrats reject such changes without tax hikes that are quickly rejected by Republicans. GOP lawmakers will not likely go along with the suggestion by some Democratic members to consider a separate sequester deal before turning to the deep divide between the two budget resolutions. Recently passed legislation directed negotiators to develop a budget framework by Dec. 13, which would give Congress a month to finish Fiscal 2014 spending bills before government funding authority ends and new sequester cuts take effect on Jan. 15. The debt limit hike deal goes until Feb. 7. Back to news
