IBM Multi-Factor Authentication for z/OS features
Extensions for RACF with auditing and provisioning
Introduce factor extensions to components of IBM RACF® user-related commands. Extend Security Authorization Facility (SAF) programming interfaces to define supported tokens during user authentication requests—enabling MFA-aware applications to specify factors in addition to RACF passwords or phrases. Audit extensions and provision and define MFA tokens using RACF user-related commands.
Centralized RACF database support
Store authentication data in the RACF database, define and alter MFA data in RACF with RACF commands, and unload non-sensitive MFA fields in the RACF database with DBUNLOAD utility. z/OS® Security Server RACF enablement consists of updates to the RACF database, RACF commands, callable services, logon processing and RACF utilities.
RSA SecurID and IBM TouchToken support
Support RSA SecurID Token, with time-based algorithm, hard token or software-based tokens and IBM TouchToken for Timed One Time use Password (TOTP) generator (available for iOS) tokens. IBM TouchToken enables user authentication to be directly evaluated on z/O S to ensure a means of enforcing two-factor authentication with no additional validation needed off platform.
PIV and CAC card support
Enable authentication for Personal Identity Verification (PIV) and Common Access Card (CAC) smart cards commonly used in federal government. Establish the foundation for supporting other certificate-based, smart card authentication tokens.
Support for application exemption
Exempt MFA processing for applications with authentication properties that can prevent MFA from working properly. Define SAF profiles that will mark certain applications as excluded from MFA and allow a user to logon to that application with password, password phrase or PassTicket. Conversely, use SAF profiles to create inclusion policies to ease adoption of MFA for selected users and applications.

About the Band
EYNSFORD CONCERT BAND is a symphonic wind ensemble that has been based in the small Kentish village of Eynsford since 1972.
The band has 50 playing members from all over the South East of England that aspire to attain the highest standards of musicianship within a social and friendly environment.
Watch a short video that introduces Eynsford Concert Band, the music we play and the fun we have on the way.
The band enjoys performing a wide range of concert band repertoire from popular music arrangements and orchestral transcriptions to classic and modern wind band works. We have recorded three CDs, proudly releasing Heritage in January 2010, featuring a Suite by Nigel Clarke written especially for the band.
Eynsford Concert Band has gained an international reputation having toured Austria, Canada, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Ireland, Netherlands, Malta, Spain and Belgium as well as playing aboard cruise ships in the Fjords of Norway and the Mediterranean where we provided the on-board entertainment.
Throughout 2012, the band celebrated it's 40th birthday. Our celebrations included a celebration concert that thrilled its audience with a musical journey, charting the band's forty year history from humble beginnings in 1972 to today. In late August, the band set sail for a fun weekend of music and celebration aboard Fred. Olsen Cruise Ship, Balmoral.
In July 2014 the band had the honour of being crowned National Champion Concert Band following their performance at the National Concert Band Symposium (NCBS) held in Canterbury. This was followed by being asked to represent the UK for the first European Championships for Wind Orchestras in Utrecht, Holland.
The band is firmly rooted in its community and every year raises substantial amounts for local charities, raising nearly £40,000 since 2004. As a Registered Charity (No. 277086) itself, we invest any revenue from performances back into the band, to fund the purchase of music, hire of the rehearsal and performance venues and obtaining instruments for those members who cannot afford to buy them. It is only through the voluntary efforts of its members that the band survives.
Eynsford Concert Band is delighted that Major Michael Smith BA(Mus) LRSM has joined us as our Musical Director. In April 2008 he was selected for a commission into the Corps of Army Music, and subsequently served as Director of Music of The Band of The Royal Irish Regiment and The Band of the Corps of Royal Engineers, before being asked to take up the much coveted appointment of Director of Music of The Band of the Grenadier Guards.
In July 2013 Michael left the Band of the Grenadier Guards to return to Headquarters Corps of Army Music in a staff officer post and also taking on the role of Corps Secretary, Corps of Army Music. In April 2015 he was appointed Chief Instructor at The Royal Military School of Music where he is responsible for the training of Army Bandmasters and Musicians. After almost 4 years since leaving the Band of the Grenadiers Guards, Mike has the honour and unique distinction of returning to the Grenadiers Band as their new Director of Music.
Mike's appointment has taken the band into a new and exciting era. Having the opportunity to have such an accomplished musician and band leader has been a real privilege and, amongst other achievements, allowed the band to build a close friendship with the Band of the Grenadier Guards, be crowned National Champions in 2014 and to represent the UK in the first European Championship for Wind Orchestras in 2015.

The idea of an alien "sleeper agent," waiting among us to be activated like a terrorist cell from above – is a good one. There are moments in this episode where the idea is executed effectively and you get the sense of what this could have been. However, for the most part, "Sleeper" is not Torchwood at its best. It's somewhat plodding, a bit overzealous in its direction, and seems to miss the mark on what could have been the more interesting aspects of its story.
Torchwood is an odd creation, and has been from the beginning. It clearly takes its inspiration from shows such as The X-Files and maybe even more so Joss Whedon's Angel - and yet it retains a distinctly British flavor. Many of its ideas have that cerebral and conceptual quality that has marked the best British science fiction television. So, often, the ideas are solid – while the execution falls a bit flat perhaps because Torchwood seems to be emulating something it is not.
This dichotomy became starkly clear in the premiere of this season, when James Marsters showed up playing a character not that much different from Spike. The Whedon was all over that episode – and you get the sense that Torchwood wants to both be something it's not (ie Angel), and wants to stay away from being what it is (British sci fi). Take for example the quick zooms, whip pans and bombastic music used in this episode over what would otherwise be quietly intense scenes.
All of the performances in this episode are quite good, especially Nikki Amuka-Bird as "Beth." Both Torchwood and Doctor Who have amassed an impressive roster of supporting characters that it would be nice to see again some day. If not the character, then re-cast the actors (after all, Eve "Gwen" Myles first appeared in Doctor Who as a completely different character). There's also some fairly brutal and stark violence in this episode – some of it aimed at children. And frankly, you have to admire a show that doesn't shy away from killing kids – it just raises the stakes to another level, and its something few shows are willing to do.
Once again, the inherent logic holes of the premise can be found in this episode. Gwen mentions to Beth that Torchwood is secret – and yet it says "Torchwood" on the front of their car. Is that necessary? Then there's the fact that Torchwood is consistently stepping in to cases at the hospital, at crime scenes, and so on – and taking over. However, they're also always stretched thin and short on manpower. After all, there's only a handful of them. And I still don't know quite what Ianto does.
Torchwood is definitely a mixed bag. There are good episodes and not so good episodes. The quality seems to depend on what part of its identity the show adheres to that week. "Sleeper" could have been better, and had some fun moments and cool ideas. Unfortunately, it felt like the show spent much of the time trying to be something its not – and something it doesn't need to be. Hopefully this is just a blip on the radar and not a sign of things to come for the second season.

State/Local Funding
State Revenue and Appropriations
Funding Principles for Judicial Administration
Steps Taken to Address Tough Economic Times
Staffing Levels and Operating Expenses:
Service Reductions: Over the past four years, the Idaho courts have delayed filling judicial vacancies and have delayed filling vacancies in judicial support positions. They have reduced travel and education and did not replace computer equipment. These reductions have resulted in reduced service to the public.
Compensation: Over the past four years, the courts have frozen the salaries of judicial officers and court staff and furloughed court staff. Idaho judges voluntarily worked two days without pay. A 2% pay increase was received this year.
Efficiency Measures: The Idaho courts enable law enforcement to file e-citations. Persons can make e-payment of fees and fines and have access to a virtual web-based information center to provide public access to records. In the coming year, Idaho will implement e-filing, an electronic document management system and an enhanced case management system.
Restructuring: Idaho has expanded the use of retired senior judges and has assigned sitting judges temporarily to the counties where the caseload needs are greatest.
Business Processes: The courts have implemented "in-court updating" and have transitioned to digital recording of court proceedings. The Idaho courts are implementing an enhanced caseflow management program. The courts have aggressively instituted an "advancing justice" initiative to resolve cases more timely using the model time standards as a framework for review.
Centralization: The courts have centralized the financial review of all conservator reports and in the next year will be centralizing the qualification and summoning of jurors. The courts are examining the centralization of collections.
The Idaho courts are in a better position than four years ago to provide access and timely justice. They have renewed their commitment to timely justice, achieving efficiencies through technology, and protecting families, children and communities through problem-solving courts, family court services and other innovative methods.

Monday 4 August 1899
Tuesday 5 August 1899
It was 5 in the morning and we were having breakfast in the streets of
. We ate bread and drank milk. My mother told me to stay with my little brother for about an hour so she could go buy three tickets to go in the boat that would take us to the United Sates. The tickets cost 30 each. I took a little walk with Antonio; I had to move my legs. The two of us went to the city square or piazza. It was named Piazza del Plebiscito. It was beautiful and enormous. When we saw this we felt like ants. It was the first time that Antonio and I saw something like this. There were trees and a lot of people. We sat on the steps of the Naples next to the column where we had a great view of the Piazza. Three hours later I was in the boat with all my family. It was horrible; there were ten times more people than seats. One of the workers on the boat checked our tickets. The captain spoke on the speakers because no one could hear him. He said that our trip would last 2 months and that he wasn't responsible for people who became sick. I was really afraid; I hoped that nothing would happen to us. I looked at my mother. She was all white because she had seasickness. It was time to sleep but there were no beds for us, and we had to sleep on the floor. We were really cold and the floor was wet because of the sea. My mother, when we were still in Royal Palace had the idea to bring a blanket. I think that this blanket saved us from freezing. My mom also packed some clothes and nothing else, and I took a knife that my father gave me. Palermo
Friday 11 September 1899
It meant Alvise Muraro, our father. He was a brave man, strong and tall with brown hair and blue eyes, a little like me. He didn't want to be a soldier but he had a debt to pay to the country and didn't have enough money so he had to go to the army where he had his blood cancer. His first job was being in a bakery. He taught my brother and me how to make bread. He was the best. I miss him so much I cried every night in the boat thinking of him, Antonio too. My mom sang to Antonio a little song so he could sleep. Then she started talking to me and told me that she was really sad too but I had to cheer up and think about our future. This night, I was happy, happy that my mother told me everything, and I thought about my new life,
. New York
Tuesday 5 October 1899
FINALLY! FINALLY! We were in Ellis Island, yes,
. The boat just docked. Everyone was ecstatic. My mother jumped in my arms and cried; everyone cried of happiness! We exited off the boat thanks to a wooden plank. The policemen put us in lines to wait for documents and paper work. Then, three hours in the line to be inspected by a doctor. It was my turn; the doctor was a white tall man with a black mustache. He told me to take off my clothes and watched me in the eyes. He opened my mouth with a wooden stick and looked behind my tongue. He checked my reflexes and then told me to dress myself after looking everywhere. He put on me a little machine to check my heart I think, but I wasn't sure since it was the first time I saw a doctor. It was cold. I sat down and he asked me some questions: Have you ever worked? Are you sick? Did you ever have a contagious disease? How old are you? Where did you live? Are you poorer than the rest of the Italians? Etc… New York
I said "no" to every question he asked me. I was terrified. At the end he showed me the exit door and said, "You are healthy, goodbye." Of course there was a translator. I exited and waited in a big room; 30 minutes later my mother had passed with Antonio who was constantly crying because he was cold. My mother told me that we had to go to the little stand in front of us to change our European money to dollars. The man behind the stand seemed sleepy and asked us how much money we had so he could convert it. An hour later, everyone was in the giant room. A man walked on a balcony, he told us to "shut up", and silence ruled the room. Then he just told us to wait.
Wednesday 6 October 1899
Nobody came to get us so we spent the night in the room just waiting. Morning arrived. After the constant crying of women and children ceased and the corpses of the tired elderly were carried out, my younger brother and I were terrified. We were cold and hungry. Our legs were shaking. Our dirty and wet clothes from the trip were now one of the biggest problems we had. We had no spare clothes and we had almost no money to buy food. Coming to the great
brought us great joy and amusement. We spent nights waiting in the boat, picturing a place where light would craft the shadows of the buildings and we had no fears. We set sail on the America Atlantic Ocean with dreams of streets that smelled of honey, sausages and bread. But those were distant images. The voyage was comparable to going to hell. The trip was the roughest part, but now we are here and filled with ecstasy. The weather was miserable. The wind would carry the smells of the streets of . The fog would limit our view of the future, or at least what was supposed to be our future. We sat there waiting in the darkness and the shivering with cold on the docks, looking at the endless waves crashing on the docks. It seemed as if more and more people were entering the compounds. Our legs shook on the hard floor like a clock. New York
Me and my brother would share what we had. We had a great brotherly affection and often played foolish games that would make the time pass, pretending to be police officers or firemen. We would stay close at night because we were both scared. Our weeping would echo in the darkness and solemnity of
Ellis Island.
After a night of noise and the crashing of the waves on the docks of
Ellis Island, the second morning was cold. One by one each family would get up and look around. We were still exhausted from the night that we had spent listening to babies cry and mothers weep for their loved ones that were far away. Many of the families were torn apart by accidents. The smell of the docks was that of a child's worst nightmare. Belongings of families were spread out on the floor and some belongings were abandoned and were destined to always be there. The docks were very dark and solemn. The morning light passed through the windows and illuminated the families that were awaiting their destiny. But finally good news came to us, as if the suffering was worth it. The long restless nights and long gloomy days were now soon over. As the boats came and docked on Ellis Island men that worked at Ellis Island and translators transported us to the immigration checkpoint. The smoke curled up in the foggy sky. But as I was looking at the waves glistening slowly, I took a glimpse of , the place where dreams are made true. The great American dream was soon to be ours. Our despair on the trip was worth it. As if sweet like honey we had overcome our greatest enemy.. We had done it. We had arrived in the city were it all begins: the endless nights of dreamlike images of streets filled of people from all cultures. Smells of fruit, meats and clothes would feel closer to reality than a dream. We all felt a doubt. An inner feeling full of fear because we didn't know where to go and why. We were extremely anxious. Manhattan
Friday 8 October 1899
After the slow steam boat ceased moving, we arrived at a busy center of noise, pushing and crowds. We had arrived at the
Bronx in Hoffman Street, an industrious and energetic zone of nonstop hustle and shoving. It was the first step to living in . For the New York Ellis Island shipping companies it was the closest port. My mother took the small metal container from her leather satchel. She took hold of the cold case and set it in her palm. Staring at it, a tear glistened down her cheek. The engraved initials of our father lingered there. As if restless my mother slowly put some American earth in it to always remember her arrival in , as if symbolizing the rigorous trip that she had endured. Around her the hectic running of people made her realize she had no time to spare. We had to walk for a while, but we finally arrived at our destination. Many men and women were cramped in shuttles that would transport us to different neighborhoods. The smell would cling on and it was very noticeable. Kids would stand up in the trucks as if it was a strain. The parents could not believe they had survived the rugged trip. Some would cry from the memories of dear New York : the days of sun and beach, eating fresh fruit by the sea; swimming in the cool water as it shone endlessly. The little ones would splash in the water enjoying their long summer days. But these dear memories were now in the past. Me and my family were now in Little Italy. Italy
Saturday 9 October 1899
Friday October 15 1899
After hours of apartment hunting in Little Italy in the
Bronx, we finally found one that was convenient for the three of us and that wasn't too expensive. And anyway, we had a lot of money compared to the rest of the immigrants because, when my dad died, we received inheritance which helped us survive during the war and famine by using it to buy rotten food back in . The other thing that made us have enough money was the mistake of the person that changed our money at Italy Ellis Island. We had just realized that he gave us more than we should have gotten since he gave us almost the double in dollars that we had in lire. That is why we were able to afford a place for the three of us only. It is 2406 Hoffman Street, between 187th Street and 188th Street. The American man that sold it to us described it as "just for people like you". Even though we hadn't seen it yet because it we couldn't visit it, we were confident that it was going to be better than where we slept in the boat. My mom seemed really happy to have found this place to stay. I knew she was scared for us and she didn't want her children to sleep outside in the cold.
We had just arrived at our new apartment. It was not as great as we had expected… The hallway was dark, the grey paint was peeling off the thin walls and spider webs were all over the place. At the far end of this hallway was our apartment. It was not really big, but it was sufficient and better than the boat. The ceiling was not very high and there was only one main room, a very small room next to it, which was almost the size of a rich person's dressing room, and a closet (a real, normal-sized closet). When you came in the main room, the kitchen, which was just a stove, a table, four chairs and a small shelf for the food, was on the right. Then, on the left was the closet for all the family's clothes and right in front was a sofa bed with broken springs where my little brother Antonio and I slept because our mother was nice enough to give us the more comfortable bed. Finally, our mother slept in the very small bedroom on a thick mattress. The bathroom was shared with the rest of the building and was on the first floor. We were lucky not only because we were close to the bathroom so we got to use it first in the morning, but also because there were only five other apartments occupied (14 being the maximum). Most of the families were also Italian but we only knew that because the man who sold the apartment to us told us so, but we didn't really get to know them. We were, after all, in Little Italy. Also, the reason why the bathroom was on the first floor was because warm water only went up to the second floor so we got to have warm water because we were next to the bathroom on the first floor!
Even though it was an exhausting day, I was thrilled because the apartment that we were able to have was amazing for us as immigrants. We were so lucky!
Sunday, October 17, 1899
My mom was out looking for a job so I was taking care of my little brother Antonio. My mother had promised to be back home at 9:00pm or even earlier if she could. That day, my brother and I took our first shower since we had left . It was warm water like I didn't remember ever showering in. After that I dressed my little brother and myself and we got ready to go outside as we put on our hats and vest. We took the money that our mom had left us to buy food for lunch and dinner and we left. Italy
Arthur Avenue, even this early, was filled with men, women and children trying to sell whatever they were able to have or make. My brother grabbed my vest as tight as he could. I understood that he was amazed by this city full of life but at the same time scared and he didn't want to let go so he didn't end up alone. But my attention was already on the children, most of them our age, selling fruits, so I didn't mind my brother. I thought of an idea I would later share with my brother and my mom. I stopped day dreaming to realize that it was freezing and I had been watching the street for ten minutes. I told my brother to hold on tight to me and we started buying the food we needed. We bought three apples, some bread, and five potatoes. What a meal we were going to have! We also bought a cheap container and we went to the fountain on the main place and filled the container with clean drinking water. What a delight! Then we went home and gathered all the laundry we needed to do, which was a lot since we couldn't do any during two months since we were on the boat.

Then we went home and gathered all the laundry we needed to do, which was a lot since we couldn't do any during two months since we were on the boat.
We had started the laundry at 9:45am we had just finished. We did it in the fountain on the main place because you don't have to pay for the water. Then, we ate an apple and a bit of the bread we had bought for lunch. It had cost only $2.35, which I thought wasn't too expensive. While we waited for our mom to come back, we unpacked our stuff.Our mom had just arrived and we were all around her explaining to her our wonderful day. She said she was thrilled with everything we had done: buying food, doing the laundry, unpacking… She said that to thank us she was going to actually cook the potatoes! Then, she told us that she had found a job. An actual paying job! She worked in a shop on Valentine Avenue and she sold the pastas she made and the vegetables that were planted at the back of the building where she was located. But the best thing was that it was a well-known shop so there were lots of clients! Then, after she explained her job to us, I finally decided to tell them about my idea. I said that I thought me and my brother should sell bread in the morning while our mom was at work. This way, our dad would kind of be with us since he was the one that taught me how to make bread. Then, in the afternoon, we would buy food with the money we got and would do the laundry. My mom said she thought it was a wonderful idea and we could go buy whatever we needed the next morning. This was the best day ever!
Saturday October 16 1899
We woke up really early today because, if we wanted to sell anything, we had to get on the streets early. My mom had left for work and my little brother and I were alone again. We quickly got dressed and we went outside to buy everything we needed to make bread and some food to eat at lunch and at dinner. Then, we spent about two hours making a dozen loaves of bread on top of the dining room. I knew that this wasn't going to be that bad of a business day because, the day before, I had only seen one other person selling bread and it was an adult. I had also noticed that, when a kid and an adult were selling the same thing, the customer would usually buy from the kid, probably out of pity. So my brother and I had good chances.
We went outside but there weren't as many people as there had been the day before, probably because it was later than yesterday, so we didn't sell much. That is when I realized that we actually needed to make the bread the day before. We went back home and we ate a small lunch.
I told my brother that we still had a lot to do because we needed to make more bread after having bought the ingredients, do the laundry, clean the apartment a little and preferably cook dinner because our mom was going to come back late. We went out and bought, from the very small number of people remaining, the ingredients to make more bread, which are flour, eggs, salt and water. We then did the laundry to get it over with and we went back home to bake the bread.
We had worked really hard that day and we had made a total of 25 pane which we decided we would sell fro four dollars each. We started cleaning the apartment a little bit to get rid of the layer of dust on the floor and all the furniture. And we waited for our mom to come home.
Our mom arrived and we ate the dinner we prepared which was some vegetable soup and a piece of bread.

18 Years Later
18 Years Later
When I awoke, a thick blanket of snow had concealed Little Italy. The leaves had fallen and the trees pointed their skinny fingers at the grey sky. From time to time, a sound would appear and disappear and through the everlasting peace Antonio would awake as well and peer through the glass window. The streets were asleep as if of grave danger. Walking through the snow I was alone, as I remembered the first days I was at that spot. It was all gone and now it was winter. A peaceful breeze blew my hair as I walked to the corner store for a newspaper. The store was empty besides a couple of kids huddled around the newspaper. They gasped and I approached the group. A war had already erupted from the depths of
Europe three years earlier. But now what was surprising was that the American Government had declared war on and its allies. I wished to fight with my brother and that was what I was going to do. I was going to fight with the Germany United States but I knew that deep down, just like my little brother, my heart was still in . That is why I was worried about my native country since it was allied with Italy . But eventually, Germany Italy would ally with the United States, France and . I was going to fight next to the brave and the proud in Great Britain Europe. The war had begun and I was going back to Europe.

Canadian alt-rock band The Velveteins released the second single from their upcoming album a few days ago. The band have been gaining momentum in the industry, with a US/Canada tour scheduled to begin in this month which includes a performance at Canadian Music Week. Midnight Surf is a track inspired by the deepest stages of sleep, with the two halves of the song originally written as individual pieces. On the subject the band have said they aimed for a "glazed feel, with a lot of experimentation in the recording process." Their debut album, Slow Wave, is set to be released on the 12th of May.
The track's sustained synth chords are the first indicator of a dazed state. I thought the very beginning of the track was too jolting, possibly a small crescendo into those hazy chords may have eased the listener into the song better. Just after the second chorus there's a section where the music and drums go a little haywire. Without knowing what this track is about it sounds strange and out-of-place. Knowing that it's based on a dream-state makes the experimentation much more cutting edge and interesting. I enjoyed the subtle guitar solo and the lyrics of the chorus, which fit with the slow feel of the music. I thought the lead singer's voice suits the band well, being expressive with a unique vocal tone.
The Velveteins certainly have a distinctive sound. With their creativity and willingness for experimentation, they have the potential to be innovators in the industry. Midnight Surf showcased their compositional abilities and saw an interesting foray into an almost prog-rock sound. With a few adjustments and more experience this band could be one to look out for. I give the track 8/10.

So, I have a kindle that Madelyn loves to watch movies on. I looked into buying an easel cover and when I saw that they were an average of $40.00, I uttered my famous words, "I can make that!"
I looked at several in a few different stores and it just seemed like they were covered cardboard. Piece of cake!
First, I went to the local ARC thrift store and found a book that would work with my Kindle. It was $.99! I took the paper cover off and it looked like this…
I grabbed a sharp knife and cut out the pages.
It took some elbow grease, but finally I got them out. It looked like this when I was done…
Then, I cut the right side of the cover in half lengthwise.
Lay the cover onto any fabric and cut around it to leave about a half inch to fold over.
Then, my plan was to pull out my spray adhesive – the same kind I used for my fabric covered binder post, but it had disappeared, so Mod Podge it was…
Cover the outside of the book with glue, then lay it down on your fabric. Then, fold over the edges and glue down, making sure to leave a small gap in between the pieces on the right cover.
I cut a rectangle that would fit across the inside of the book cover and put a small hem around the edge, then glued the piece on to the inside, overlapping the part that I folded over.
Here's where the trial and error came in. I wasn't sure how to get the kindle to stay in place. I ended up pulling off the rectangle and sewing a piece of elastic on to the inside and then pulling it off again when the kindle wouldn't stay when I put the easel up. I ended up sewing the elastic on 3 sides. It still didn't lay the way I wanted it to, but I needed to move on before I went crazy. Here are my thoughts – maybe use thinner elastic and put it on all four corners – or make the same sort of idea that I did, but make it out of fabric? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated!
Here's what it looks like open – not what I was going for, but…
It works great as an easel – just fold over the section that was cut in half and prop it up.
Perfect for hands-free movie watching! Especially if those hands are covered with toddler mystery goo…
Then, it folds into book size and easily fits into bags and purses:)
Have a happy-crafty kind of day!

1 dead, 2 hurt in Grant Co. crash
SUV lost control on slick road
CORINTH, Ky. —
One person was killed and two others injured in a Friday morning crash in Corinth.

She crossed into the eastbound lane in the path of Rodney Milner, 51 of Berry, who was operating a 2003 Dodge 3500 pickup truck pulling a trailer.
Jeffery Adams, 42, of Sadieville, a passenger in the Durango, was killed in the collision.
Lemons was transported to University Of Kentucky Medical Center for her injuries and Milner was transported to St. Elizabeth Edgewood for treatment.
The crash remains under investigation.

Saints and Sinners
Saturday, June 2, 2018, 8:00 pm
Saint James Cathedral
804 9th Ave., Seattle
Beginning in the 10th century, the Christian church began to recognize particularly holy persons as saints, and by the end of the middle ages, the list of the canonized was extensive. Many saints were felt to have a special relationship to a certain group of believers, such as young clerics (St. Nicholas) or bakers (St. Elizabeth), and were called upon to intercede with God on their behalf. Songs praising saints and recounting their good works were common throughout the middle ages. Join the MWC's musical journey through the pantheon of medieval saints!

Musica Nova: New music of the 14th Century
Saturday, March 25, 2018
3:00 pm
Greenlake New Start Center
7400 Woodlawn Ave. NE
New developments in musical notation in the early 14th century allowed composers to write music they never could write before. They wasted no time in embracing the complexity and variety that was suddenly available to them, literally referring to their music as an ars nova, or "new art." Composers in France and Italy were most active in promoting this musical avant-garde, yet their works are strikingly different in style: In Italy, exuberant melodies and virtuosic display were highly prized, while the French tended towards rich sonority and more complex structure. The two currents were expertly joined by composers like Francesco Landini, who espoused an international style where all of these elements are brought into perfect harmony.
Spring Celebration
Saturday, March 10, 2018
8:00 pm
Trinity Parish Church
609 8th Ave. Seattle
Today, it is hard to imagine how life in ages past was governed by weather and the passing seasons. Any Seattleite who has ever braved the lingering chill at an outdoor cafe in a warm coat in order to drink in the first tentative rays of spring sunshine can understand the exuberance with which medieval Europeans looked forward to spring: the balmy afternoons, the symphony of birdsong, the budding of trees and the explosion of flowers, and especially the stirrings of young love. All these things were extolled in song, and we invite you to join the Medieval Women's Choir in casting off the gloom of winter through a celebration of spring.
Nowell Sing We
Saturday, December 9, 2017, 8:00 pm
Saint James Cathedral
804 9th Ave., Seattle
With roots in antiquity and beyond, winter celebrations have a long history in European culture. Early Christians chose a date close to the Roman festival of Saturnalia to celebrate the birth of Christ, and by medieval times Christmas had generated a huge outpouring of music in every European land. The Medieval Women's Choir provides a uniquely medieval musical celebration of one of our biggest holidays.

Question: You said we'd find out in Episode 15 of Gilmore Girls that one of the show's leading men had an affair with a girl named Walker (Ask Ausiello 1/25). Well... who is it?
Answer: Can't say, but the revelation does lead to a rather nasty (and possibly permanent) split.

How to Become a Frugalista: Start Slow!
Don't let yourself get overwhelmed. Start out slowly. You don't need to be an extreme couponer or even a moderate couponer right out of the gate.
The best way to start is to pick one store and learn their policies. Then when you are comfortable with that store you can move on to another and so on. (More on how to shop at certain stores to come later)
I would even recommend starting with one store and even just some printable coupon deals! Collecting all those other coupons can be overwhelming and sort of discouraging when you don't have many of them to start with.

Wheel wax provides shine and protection for all wheel finishes including chrome and alloy wheels. Wheel Wax is a specialised wax that quickly restores a bright, polished and protected wheel finish. The anti-static wheel wax formula actually helps repel brake dust to reduce dust buildup by as much as 50%. The fine Wheel Wax brightens all chrome, polished aluminum and factory clear coat finish wheels. The ultra-tough wheel wax protects wheels for months, preventing water spotting and staining from road contaminates and brake dust buildup.
How do you apply Wheel Wax? Apply wheel wax directly to your rims, apply to cool and dry rims only When applying wheel wax, spread evenly, allow to dry to a haze and then remove with a soft cotton towel or applicator. We recommend applying wheel wax to all wheels and then returning to buff the first wheel rim, second, third and fourth.

Lauren Goodger has lip fillers removed
Former reality star Lauren Goodger has decided to remove lip fillers after having the treatment done for many years, and she has gone back to the natural look, for the moment at least. The 29-year-old described the experience as 'liberating' and she revealed her new look to MailOnline in a series of pictures.
The former The Only Way Is Essex regular had regular lip injections for five years but decided it was time to have the filler solution removed so that she could embrace the natural look. She told the paper that she had been undergoing 'constant top-ups' for the past five years but chose to have the fillers removed so that she could go with the natural look, as she has embraced a positive body image and improved her health with a new fitness regime.
Lauren's surgeon, Dr Esho, said that Lauren had overdone the filler injections and this meant that there was a build-up of the solution in her lips that had to be removed. He added that she would have to fight the temptation to go back and have more filler treatment but she should try to maintain the natural look because she has youthful lips that are a great shape as they are.

Maintenance and repair services need to be performed regularly in order for furnaces to work efficiently. Many homeowners wait for major issues to occur with their heating system before they decide to call in a professional for a repair or maintenance service. Always keep an eye on the following:
Your Furnace is Getting Old
Furnaces can last for 20 to30 years. To take care of your unit well and make it last longer, conduct regular maintenance and tune-ups and take preventative measure.
High Energy Bills
A system that is not maintained properly or is working inefficiently can result in an abnormal rise in terms of your energy consumption and ultimately the bottom line on your utility bill. If you experience a sudden increase in costs, have your heating system checked immediately.
Clues That Your System May Need Some Maintenance
Check your heating system once a week in order to identify any visible defects such as rust or visible deterioration of the equipment. Suspicious smells are also a cause for concern, especially if your are making use of a gas furnace. Listen for any uncommon noises as this is a sign that all is not well. Early detection allows you the chance to repair minor damages rather than the usually resultant large and costly ones.
Whatever problems you encounter, a professional in the trade is always the best person for the job at hand.
You deserve only the best furnace repair in Greater Sacramento! Call Big Mountain now and let us keep your heating system purring through the Winter months.

The coffee grounds that made your morning latte could soon be worm food.
That's Ed Hubbard's plan for Nature's Little Recyclers, a company he founded in October aimed at collecting unwanted coffee grounds from downtown shops and turning them into high-grade fertilizer for urban farms. The company, based in "The Plant" -- a Back of the Yards vertical farm -- is currently in a pilot stage, Hubbard said. But Hubbard said he looking to ratchet up its operations using crowd-funding site Indiegogo to raise $6,000 in order to begin a larger scale business.

"Beer ATM" in Leduc proudly serves only Alberta craft beers
LEDUC, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - June 19, 2017) - You have all seen this viral 'beer ATM' video (http://www.businessinsider.com/the-world-now-has-a-beer-atm-2017-6) but did you know you have one right in your own backyard?!
Barney's Pub in Leduc launched the Pour My Beer brand wall in May when the new pub opened. The difference is - this beer wall serves only Alberta craft beers. "We are local above all else," says Vasim Khan, general manager of Barney's Leduc. "We wanted to showcase the quality products made right here in Alberta, for Albertans and visitors alike to enjoy while they are here."
The craft beer wall has rotating taps of 10 Alberta craft beers at a time including beers from well known craft breweries like Blindman (Lacombe), Ribstone Creek (Edgerton) and ToolShed (Calgary) to smaller up and coming breweries like Fahr (Calgary), Wood Buffalo (Fort McMurray) and Coulee (Lethbridge).
All beers are available by the ounce - meaning patrons can taste as little as they want before committing to a whole pint - eliminating waste and allowing people to sample a diversity of craft beers.
"We want to help people experience beers that represent the entire province," says Khan. "It's like a trip around Alberta without leaving Leduc!"
A video about the Barney's beer wall can be viewed here: https://vimeo.com/219483028 and the line up of Alberta craft beers on tap seen at www.barneyspubleduc.com.
Barney's food menu is also locally sourced including meats from Pine Haven Colony at Wetaskiwin, vegetables from Reclaim Urban Gardens on Whyte Ave and more.
Media are invited to visit any time to try the technology and experience craft beers from across the province.

She's heavy, talented, a rapper, and white: What's not to like?
Patti Cake$
Grade: B
Director: Geremy Jasper
Screenplay: Jasper
Cast: Danielle Macdonald (Every Secret Thing), Bridget Everett (Trainwreck)
Rating: R
Runtime: 1 hr 48 min
by John DeSando
You don't have to like rap music or plus-sized women to like Geremy Jasper's gritty Patti Cake$. The story of working-class North Jersey girl Patti (Danielle Macdonald) working through the challenges of poverty, dead-end jobs, and family dysfunction to become a rapper is alternately clichéd, sentimental, and poignant.
If it weren't about rap, it would be about any other impoverished young woman pursuing her dream despite the daunting Newark world. Think 8 Mile and the ultimate working-class to riches, Rocky.
Her dogged pursuit is uplifting where another overweight young woman might fold hearing the regular shout-outs calling her "Dumbo." Where in Precious the audience might be aware of Precious's weight, here Patti's movement out of poverty is the major concern. In fact, she has been called "White Precious." Fortunately, she has boyfriends and male colleagues who believe in her talent and in some cases love her.
It's not that Patti is loveable because Jasper's script does not allow her to be sweet. It's just that she makes sacrifices for her dying grandma and washed-up singer mom while she also nurtures her band, PBnJ, to where they can have the minor break on a local stage they have longed for.
Special note for actress Danielle Macdonald: Amazingly you are not a Joiesy girl, you are from Australia; you are not a rapper, you are a fine actress who can believably rap with the best. For those of us who love classical music and mid-20thcentury folk, as I listen to the layers of culture in each rap song, I believe I could become a believer. Not enough songs, however, in this film.
I should not forget to praise the soundtrack from Bruce Springsteen to unknown hip hop—it is full of the joy Patti has for her poetry; we just need to give her a chance.

Leadership: The Power of the Follower
Is leadership for you? Are you cut out to be a leader? Maybe, maybe not.
That certainly is not your typical way of looking at leadership. Most everyone tells you of all the great qualities that a leader must demonstrate to be a good one. They allude that you must match those qualities to be a great leader. They talk about character, behavior and traits; their ability to influence, enlist the support of others. Books are written about what a leader must and must not do to be great.
Leadership, true leadership is a rarity. You and I can probably name the top ten leaders of all times without straining ourselves. We can list the qualities and abilities they shared and come up with a pretty good definition of what a leader looks, feels and smells like.
When you think of a successful leader what comes to mind? It's part personality, part their charisma and appeal. They are able to address a large crowd with a fine oration and get their point across. There is passion in their soul and we can sense it. A leader's ideas, and sometimes their ideals, become our ideas and ideals. A leader can draw us in, inspire us and have us want to fulfill on their vision. And, we, the followers, grant a leader the authority to lead.
Now, let's be honest. Take a look in the mirror. Are you built of the stuff that it takes to have others follow you? Can you be persuasive and certain enough of yourself, your cause, to be a leader? Do you have what's needed to enroll others to grant you the authority to lead? You'll have to answer that one for yourself.
Billions upon billions of us are not leaders. They don't possess the qualities nor the drive necessary for leadership. They, and I will include myself in this multitude, are the followers. Leadership is just not for everyone. There is no sin in not being a leader because without followers there could be no leaders, no leadership. Followers are a necessity.
Additionally, there is a moral component woven into leadership. Those ideas and ideals we spoke of can be used for good or they can be used for bad. Good and bad, of course, is a wee bit subjective. Consider whether Hitler was a great leader? Did he not inspire an entire nation to carry out unspeakable acts of brutality? Yes. Was he not a great leader? From a purely academic point of view, he was. Without a doubt, there were followers though who gave their permission to be led.
If it makes sense that followers are a necessity, then is this not where followers have some control, have a say in leadership? If we all used our individual judgment to decide who to follow, whose ideas and ideals to embrace, then followship becomes as important as leadership. The follower must choose to whom he or she grants the authority of leadership and therein resides the power of the follower.
You and I get to choose whom we follow and you and I become a leader by granting leadership. You and I are then a powerful leader, albeit, a leader of one. You can therefore become a leader by leading yourself by chosing whom to follow.
"Let no one say that he is a follower of Gandhi. It is enough that I should be my own follower. I know what an inadequate follower I am of myself, for I cannot live up to the convictions I stand for. You are no followers but fellow students, fellow pilgrims, fellow seekers, fellow workers."
~Mohandas Gandhi
"Which of the religions of the world gives to its followers the greatest happiness? While it lasts, the religion of worshiping oneself is best"
~C.S. Lewis
"If a rhinoceros were to enter this restaurant now, there is no denying he would have great power here. But I should be the first to rise and assure him that he had no authority whatever."
