The eyes of the automotive industry as well as motoring enthusiasts will all turn to Paris next week as the city hosts the Paris Motor Show.
As usual we are aware of many of the new models that will debut at the show but it is looking likely that there will be a few surprises, not least of all when it comes to the reveal of some highly anticipated new models such as the new BMW 5 Series and Land Rover Discovery 5.
Audi will show the updated version of its Q3 but its main focus will be on the next generation Q5. We expect the new model to adopt much of the technology from models such as the A4 when it comes to the interior, while the exterior will be sharpened and the change in platform will see it get a little lighter.
BMW has kept its 5 Series under wraps, although our insiders have seen it testing in both Germany and the US. The designers are not going to mess with the exterior too much, although we expect to see some influence from the larger 7 Series. The 7 will have even more influence inside though, where the new 5 Series will adopt many of the new styling cues from the 7.
Still with BMW, the company will unveil its new X2, a coupe-like version of its X1 in the same style as the X4 and X6.
Over at Mini there will be a new version of the Countryman as well as a John Cooper Works (JCW) version of its Clubman station wagon.
Honda will focus on its new Civic hatchback, although currently Honda SA says the model is only under consideration for our market. The new hatch is even more dramatic in its styling than the outgoing version as the company gives it an even sportier vibe.
As we reported recently, Hyundai's new i30 will debut at the show, as will the performance version, the i30 N.
Over at sister company Kia, most of the attention will be on the new Rio.
Land Rover will have one of the biggest new model reveals of the show as it debuts its new Discovery 5, due in SA in August next year.
Mercedes-Benz is going big when it comes to electric vehicles (EV) in Paris. It will launch its new EV sub-range to rival BMW's i-brand. We expect EV versions of a number of existing models, including, of course, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). Mercedes SA has no plans at this stage to introduce the full electric models that will debut though — saying that the South African market is not ready for them — but expect the local outfit to roll out more PHEVs as they become available.
It won't just be all about EVs on the Mercedes stand, with the company debuting its new GT roadster models that you can read about on page 6.
Mitsubishi will have a couple of concept models on show, the most interesting of which will be its Ground Tourer SUV concept. It will be a PHEV, which is appropriate because the company's Outlander PHEV is the world's biggest selling plug-in hybrid. However, the concept is sure to create speculation around whether it hints at the next generation of the Pajero. Mitsubishi is avoiding any reference to a Pajero replacement, referring only to the concept as a luxury SUV, but the company is saying that the concept shows the next era of design for its SUV models — so when the new Pajero eventually arrives, it is sure to take some styling cues from this.
It will, of course, be the home show for Peugeot and it will display its new 3008 and 5008 crossover models.
While it seems as though it has been around for a few months already, Porsche will finally give its new Panamera its official public debut at the show. The company will have a full range on display including the latest addition in the form of a 340kW plug-in hybrid version.
Renault will show its new Koleos as well as a facelifted version of its Sandero. The new Sandero will be bolder than the outgoing model and will again be available in regular and Stepway versions. The company will also reveal a concept car that promises to showcase the future design direction for the brand.
Paris will also mark the official public debut of the company's Alaskan bakkie, which is definitely heading to SA.
Finally, Volkswagen will be implementing yet more steps to shake off the emissions from Dieselgate. VW has just introduced a new company integrity strategy internally but at the show it will be showcasing its new plans for EVs. The company will unveil a concept EV model that is scheduled to go on sale in 2019, but has given little information away as yet. – Mark Smyth

Introduction to Paper Piecing
I recently met Sarah online when she reached out to me asking to do a guest post on paper piecing. I tried paper piecing once at a Boston Modern Quilt Guild meeting, but promptly forgot how to do it. I haven't done my own paper piecing project yet, but it's definitely on my list! SarahRead more

Lots of pictures included this week...make sure to scroll down to the bottom.
FAMILIA!! AMIGAS! AMIGOS! hi.
How is life? I truly hope everyone is happy and smiling. If not, do it. Right now. Ok, good :)
Man! This week was gooooood. Probably the best so far! Although I think I say that every week. haha well at least it's not the other way around!
THANK YOU FOR THE BIRTHDAY LOVE!!! I felt so special :) All of the letters and emails and gifts from friends and family were SO thoughtful!! I am surrounded by some amazing people in my life (and if you're reading this I'm talking about you), so THANK YOU. I'm one luck girl :) I have a good feeling my 20th year will be one of the best of my life. What better way than to dedicate a full year (and then some) to the service of my Savior and God's children in Mexico? Rhetorical question! Nothing. Haha
So besides that wonderful day, every other day has just been fantastic. Honestly, it's probably because I choose it to be and see it that way. It's all in the attitude! And just surrounding yourself with amazing things and amazing people and el Espiritu Santo! (the Holy Ghost :)
I have to say, my Sunday was probably THE BEST day so far. Firsts, I had my first Fast and Testimony meeting (where we fast two meals and share our personal testimonies with the congregation at our church service) here at the MTC. We combined church with another zone because it's just our district! And the zone we combined were some friends of ours so it was just perfect! Testimony meetings are so wonderful, because it is a guarantee that you'll feel the Spirit :) It was so special to hear the tender feelings and sincere beliefs of people my age and friends that I've become so close with. I had the literal "heart pounding out of my chest" feeling and the next thing I knew I was out of my seat and at the pulpit. It was amazing how the Spirit lead me to get up, helped me to stay calm and know what to say, and then just engulf me again as I sat down. It was hailing and storming as I spoke, but then as I finished the sun all of the sudden came out and just lit up the room! It was honestly so amazing and such a tender mercy. I have always loves those moments where the sun comes out and you just bask in it! I think God knew that :) I was touched when a few people came up to me afterward and thanked me for sharing my testimony! To know that someone appreciates your sincere thoughts and feelings and it touched or made better by them....I mean what better compliment or accomplishment (if you will) can you have! That is honestly the only way that I want to and hope to spend my life. Being an instrument in the Lord's hands to help and bless others! So one step closer I guess :)
Well the day gets better!!! Can you believe it?? I had a normal weekly interview with one of the Counselors from the Branch Presidency that ended up being very enlightening! (Go figure...enlightenment at the MTC ;) ) Well, he asked me the typical 'how are you doing?', 'what do you think you could be doing better?' questions. My answer was practically that I always think I have room for improvement and could be doing better. He all of the sudden started giving me this whole lesson about the importance of knowing the difference between "the best" and "perfect". Often times we ARE doing our best and there really isn't anything better that we could be doing. He asked me that at the end of my day do I think Heavenly Father would say "Well done Hermana Johnson." He says this to many people in the scriptures "well done my faithful servant." He sees their efforts and he acknowledges them. He also knows that they aren't perfect. I need to remember (and I think we all do) to be happy with what we have, what we are doing, and what we are capable of; and not waste it away wishing or being held back by what we don't have or haven't done. I explained to him that his timing was impeccable, and just the night before I had gotten upset at myself in class for not being able to do something right. I thought what I was doing should be easy and was upset with myself because it was obviously not. I know that what he told me was a lesson that God wanted me to learn. What I am striving for and getting upset at myself for not having, is perfection. And we are not perfect! Perfection is the goal. Perfection takes a lifetime for me to learn and aspire to. I need to utilize what I have and have been blessed with and know that everything else takes learning and time! Some of us have been given "two talents" and some "five talents". As Christ teaches us, the quantity doesn't matter, it is how we use them and show our appreciation to Him for having them! So that's what I'm learning :)
OH. and the day keeps going!!! So we have a Sunday night and a Tuesday night devotional where special speakers come and basically enlighten us. This last Sunday we were blessed to have a musical devotional! We heard from Richard Elliott, the organist for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir who is SO amazing!! He would play some songs and then speak in between. It was a blessing to be serenaded by the man that the Prophet gets to hear all the time. And then...........we got to be serenaded by......DAVID ARCHULETA!!!!! He had returned from his mission in Chile the DAY before!!!! He gave his homecoming talk that morning! So crazy!! How sweet that he wanted to come and speak and sing to US missionaries :) He had THE MOST powerful spirit from his words and pure insight and of course from his voice! I know I don't know him personally or anything, but it is truly amazing to see how a mission matures and grows someone! You guys will have to let me know how is post mission life goes! He is one amazing person.
SO yes. That was basically all my Sunday. haha I hope you all enjoyed it vicariously as much as I enjoyed it in reality :)
Here is a quote I randomly found on a bookmark I received in Young Womens (Shout out to YW leaders!! whoot whoot). It was perfect timing and perfect for us all!
"There is something Inspiring and Sublime about the little forget-me-not flower. Its five petals give pause to consider five things we would be wise never to forget... FORGET NOT to be patient with yourself. FORGET NOT the importance of good sacrifices. FORGET NOT to be happy now. FORGET NOT to "why" of the gospel. FORGET NOT that the Lord loves you."-Dieter F. Uchtdorf
The leaders of our church are truly inspired and of God. I know I really learned that lesson this week when Brother Marrett (the counselor) told me that he honestly didn't know why he was telling me those things until I explained my day before. To prepare yourself spiritually in being a disciple of the Lord is something truly special. And believe it or not, something we can ALL do. So try it. Today. That's my invitation to you all. (yupp. I just committed you. typical missionary)
I LOVE YOU ALL. And that's not just said lightly. The fact that you're reading this shows you care :)
Hermana Johnson
Ps. I ALWAYS FORGET A SCRIPTURE!!!! sorry.
Ether 12:12' - Faith is an ACTION word. we must SHOW our faith unto the Lord.
HEBREWS 6:10 - not just for missionaries ;)
|me and my companion on my burfday!! the hermans made me a candy chart and we blew up the balloons mom sent :)))
|GEORGETOWN CUPCAKES!!!! GRACIAS!!!! they were the best
|all that birthday love <3 getting mail seriously makes my day!
|at the temple this morning :)
|yes i know i'm a ham. but this was candid...what can i say! haha THANK YOU FOR THE BIRTHDAY DRESSS :))

VOORHEES, N.J. — With the Flyers off to a hot 4-2 start, there's a lot to like about the team. There's been the resurgence of Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek and the immediate impact of rookies like Nolan Patrick and Robert Hagg.
It's all part of general manager Ron Hextall's plan, and through six games, it seems to be working.
After Thursday's morning skate, Hextall spoke at length about the team's success, the development of the rookies and what to make of Sam Morin and Oskar Lindblom — two young players penciled into the lineup at the start of camp who failed to make the final cut.
Here's what Hextall had to say about the state of the team:
Giroux's success at left wing
Having an abundance of quality centers forced the Flyers to move one to the wing. And Giroux seemed to be the top option because of his playmaking ability. So far, so good as Giroux is tied for third on the team with nine points (four goals, five assists).
"It's pretty obvious that we'd be happy (with Giroux's success)," Hextall said. "When you're a smart player, you can play all three forward positions. But G's a smart player. He has skill, he sees the ice well, he's gritty, he's smart with the puck. He's got all the attributes that he can play all three positions and obviously, that's a valuable guy because we're a little loaded up in the middle this year. And then you go, 'OK, who do we want to move? Who can move? Who's the best fit?' There's a lot of things that go into a decision like that and quite frankly, G had never played left wing in all his life and all of a sudden he's playing left wing and he's made a real quick transition. So it's a credit to him first of all for his buy-in. There was no 'I want to play the middle' stuff. Second of all, he's worked at it and set his mind to it so credit to G."
Sean Couturier's hot start
Couturier has long been maligned for his offensive abilities, but the scoring has always been there somewhere. He was the eighth-overall pick in 2011 and scored 96 points in each of his final two seasons in junior. Now that he is finally playing with talent, like Giroux and Voracek — what an upgrade over Dale Weise and Matt Read — Couturier is starting to reach his potential with four goals and three assists this season.
"You never know until you try it, whether it's going to work, but just the vision and the thought of it, you say, 'Hey, you've got a real stable guy in the middle with two guys on the wings that love to make plays," Hextall said of the top line. "It's not like Coots is a poor offensive player. He's a good offensive player. He's been in different roles over the years and some of his role hasn't changed. He's going to match up against top players, which he's very good at. Now he's got two dynamic players on his wings and again, he's a stabilizer in the middle. So far, so good."
Balanced lines
Perhaps the biggest upgrade over last year's club is the depth. The Flyers can now roll four potent, speedy lines to compete with almost any team. Give credit to Hextall for addressing the team's biggest need by getting rid of guys like Read and Chris Vandevelde and allowing the young guns to come up.
"It helps a lot," Hextall said of the balanced lines. "There were points last year where — in terms of matchups — we had to be very fine in terms of who you're going to matchup against another team's top line or even their second line. Now, I think we all feel comfortable whoever's out there is not going to get buried by whatever line and that's a good feeling for obviously the coaches and us, but the players as well. We can put anybody out there on the road and we don't choose the matchups and feel some comfort."
Nolan Patrick
One of the reasons Giroux had to make the move to wing was the Flyers' drafting of Nolan Patrick No. 2 overall. Playing on the third line with Dale Weise and Travis Konecny, Patrick has shown his two-way prowess and oh yeah, he can make plays like this.
"I think he's been good. I think he's been real solid, all three zones. I think some people, you expect too much — second overall and all this hype and everything else," Hextall said. "This is the NHL. And it's a huge step so I think he's done a good job for us. He plays a very poised game, he's not an erratic player, very methodical in his thinking and predictable in a good way. He makes the right reads, the right plays, he's typically in the right part of the ice. It comes down to maturity, but it also comes down to hockey sense."
Benching Travis Sanheim
Sick of seeing Sanheim in the press box? You'll get your chance to see him against the Predators on Thursday, as he rejoins the lineup after watching the past two games. Sanheim has played in three of the Flyers' six games, but don't worry, he's going to play this year, but how short is his leash? Are Hextall and head coach Dave Hakstol on the same page with benching young players?
"I think it's not going to continue, he's not going to sit on the bench and continue here for long-term, things are going to change so that's something that I said at the start of the year," Hextall said. "I don't believe in young players sitting, nor having a really small role. … But Travis has played well for us and we'll see where it goes and we'll evaluate on a day-to-day basis."
Last season, defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere and rookie winger Travis Konecny each served multiple stints in the press box for poor defensive play. Hextall didn't seem to mind.
"People made a big deal when a couple young players last year were sat out and those young players have shown an awful lot of growth this year. With the little things that they help along the way, to realize that you know what, 'I don't have a secure spot in the lineup, necessarily for 82 games. I gotta be on the edge, I gotta work out, I gotta play well every night.' There's little messages that come out of things like that, which is why a young player — I'm not opposed to a young player sitting, especially for development reasons. Sometimes it just needs to happen an that's not the case with Travis, but along the way, it is so a young player sits out the odd game. There's things they learn, they realize that, 'You know what, I can't be complacent, I can't do this, I can't do that.' You learn lessons in life and again, I don't want you players sitting out a lot and certainly not for the wrong reasons. I mean, if they're making that many mistakes they're not going to be here."
Is Lindblom sulking in the minors?
Lindblom, a fifth-round pick in 2014, had such an impressive 2016-17 playing in Sweden's top league that many penciled him in as a lock to make the team this year. But after an uninspiring training camp, Lindblom was sent to the Phantoms, where he is off to a slow start this season. Hextall doesn't seem worried, though.
"Big Sam (Morin) was real good, Philippe (Myers) was real good, Oskar did some good things, probably not quite at the level that we want him to get to or that he's hoping to get to, but he was fine. Those kids are doing well.
"Training camp, it was pretty obvious that, not early but as we got along, that he wasn't quite ready for this level. That's OK. He didn't fail. Oskar is going to be a good player. We like Oskar as much as we did a month ago, two months ago, three months ago. Yeah, he comes in, you say, 'OK, well he's gonna be one of the guys we look at here' and he's just not ready for it. And that's OK. It's not a setback. It's nothing. It's like, 'OK, Oskar, go down, play hard' — and he's playing hard. … Is he to the level that he can play? No, he's not but that's going to come. He's a young kid, he's a young player, he's adjusting to life, the pressure. Everybody's talking about him, he comes here, there's all this hype on him. It's unfair, quite frankly what the expectations that some of these kids come in with."

When you're a parent to really young kids life can sometimes feel like an endless game of cat and mouse. Nothing seems to ever get entirely accomplished the way you would like it, because inevitably there is someone one step behind you making messes, demanding your attention, and giving you heart attacks. Even a trip to the mall can turn into the most stressful situation of the week when a toddler is involved!
And then there comes a day when your kids begin to mellow out and life starts to get a little easier again. At least I'm assuming that's what happens based on what other people have told me. :) And I have to believe that it's true, because I think Evelyn is slowly but surely getting there herself. (No blog pun intended.) She did so many "big girl" things this weekend that my heart is smiling and breathing a huge sigh of relief for things to come.
I didn't take pictures of us in our sick state this weekend, but I did manage to sneak a few of the fam. Spy pictures are horrible quality, but they're the most fun. :)
We spent the vast majority of our weekend recovering from a week of being sick...we're still not all the way better, to tell you the truth. And since Fall decided to be Fall and not Summer masquerading as Fall it meant that the temperatures dropped dramatically, so there was no way I was taking my still kinda sick kiddos out into the elements for all of the fun Holiday Happenings in our town this weekend.
Instead, we stayed cooped up in the house on Friday and Saturday, trying to stay sane after being indoors for way too long. By the time Sunday rolled around I was over it. O. Ver. It. Eric and I were scheduled to work in the nursery at church yesterday morning, and since I was over my sniffles Eric stayed home with the girls while I went to play with the tiny tots. It was the first time I had left the house in a week. (Have I ever mentioned that I don't get paid enough for this stay at home mom gig? I believe I have.) So I was bound and determined to bust loose and leave the city limits behind yesterday.
If there is one place Evelyn talks about more than any other, it's the mall. The girl loves the mall. So I used my mom authority and made the judgment call that while Grace probably still needed another day or two to recover (she had been the sickest of us all) Evelyn could accompany us on a little shopping excursion. I have to admit I was super excited about it. It's a rare thing for our family to be out with just one of our children. And usually when it's only one, it's the youngest one. I can't even remember the last time we went out as a trio with Evelyn.
So we packed up our babies, left Grace with my parents, and we headed off into the dreary afternoon to Evelyn's favorite place in the entire world. We made a quick stop to simply exchange one sweater for another sweater in a color that didn't make my eyes burn. (Bad internet purchase, haha.) And…thirty minutes and eight sweaters later we were checking out. Thank you Old Navy sweater sale. Then we were off to a land of enchantment and overspending.
Another random picture sneaky photo :)
Evie and I left Eric to get a haircut while we scoped out some pretty jewelry, and this was probably my first real "big girl" mother-daughter bonding time with my oldest baby girl. It was so simple, and yet so fun to stand there in front of racks and racks of revolving sparkly things and hear Evelyn breathlessly say, "Oh my, that is sooo beautiful!" She kept taking bracelets off of their holders and saying, "Mom, you have to try this on!" I kept trying to imagine what walls of glittering jewels looked like to a three foot tall person, and I came to the conclusion that my darling daughter probably thought she had died and gone to heaven.
It was too much fun to kneel down beside her and explain how when we're at the store we have to pay for things before we're allowed to take them home with us. I'm fairly certain Ev would have left that place with one of everything on her body if I would've let her, haha. I'm sure that to some people it just seems odd and shallow to get this worked up over a two year old and a shopping trip, but it wasn't exactly what we were doing that has my heart smiling today.
It's the fact that my child was having a blast, and I was legitimately having a great time, too. We didn't end up buying any of those pretties...mostly because I was having so much fun in the moment just trying things on to humor my toddler that I couldn't be bothered with actually shopping. We were relaxed and laughing...not frazzled and on edge. I can't honestly say that a couple of months ago we would've had the same experience - Evelyn would have grabbed a handful of beaded things and high-tailed it to the make up counter. But now she is old enough to stand and admire and appreciate and just be. It's such a great feeling to know that we can have this fun over and over again in many different situations. I just love her, and I love the person she is growing up to be.
Little trips like these make me truly appreciate every little baby step we take towards freedom to go and do like we used to. I'm so looking forward to even more of these baby steps, with both of my daughters. There is light at the end of the tunnel! Of course, as soon as we feel like we can really breathe again, we'll add to the family and start all over. :) But that's not for today. For today, life is a little freer and a little more FUN. Cause when the workin' day is done, oh girls...girls just wanna have fuh-un! ;)
I hope you were able to get out and have a little fun this weekend, too. I know some of you are battling the same darn cold that we had, and I sincerely hope that you get over it soon! Let's get this holiday week started. Woot! :D

The BRAVEN 805, LUX & more reviewed by the top publications in this weeks press recap.
BRAVEN 805 featured in, "Brilliant Bluetooth Speakers" in MEN'S JOURNAL
"Along with being a solid-performing compact speaker, the Braven 805 is an impressive power bank for your mobile devices. Its battery can recharge two iPhones and still hold enough juice to play hours of music. The speaker can also pair up with another Braven 805 to provide true stereo sound with separation. Plus, it's available in nine colors."
Braven LUX featured in BRIDES "45 Holiday Gift Ideas for Everyone on Your List"
"For the Bridesmaids: Get your bridesmaids pumped! A Bluetooth-compatible speaker will allow them to blast some getting-ready tunes and get the party started."
Braven BRV-X Review - STEEZ MAGAZINE
"You can take them almost anywhere in the outdoors without worry, which is definitely my favorite thing about them as a whole."
"Plain and simple, the BRV-X is a top-notch indoor/outdoor speaker. Whether you're hiking trails or hitting homemade jumps in the woods, this is the one"
BRV-PRO/BRV-1 in, "28 of the best portable Bluetooth speakers you can buy today" Business Insider
"All things considered, your smartphone's speakers are probably pretty bad. Your laptop's might even be worse. If you want to get some more life out of your music, the simple and obvious solution is to pick up a portable Bluetooth speaker."
BRV-Bank in "28 Unique Holiday Gift Ideas" Scientific Computing
"When their smart devices go anemic, there is the BRV-BANK Ultra-Rugged Portable Backup Battery from BRAVEN. At 5" x 1" x 3" and weighing in at 9.8 ounces, the BRV-BANK is larger and heavier than other back-up batteries of similar capacity. On the other hand, it is clearly designed to stand up to more wear and tear than most other back-up batteries. Its rubberized body makes it impact resistant, and it has an IPX5 rating. This means that it can handle rain, sleet, snow, or even getting splashed on, though it is not designed to actually be immersed in water. Effectively, it is designed to survive where most backup batteries would die."
BRAVEN Balance in, "Top 3 Bluetooth Audio Speakers under $200" PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE
"Many of the smaller speakers I have been testing are rugged designs perfect for an active lifestyle. The two other recommendations fit into this category, starting with the Braven Balance at $129. This mid-sized speaker is IPX7 rated for outdoor use and has a soft rubber material covering most of its surfaces. Six bright, attractive colors are available, and the sound is excellent. www.braven.com"
Braven 850 and BRV-HD in, Holiday Gift Guide 2015-2015 - Android Headlines
"BRAVEN is a name which has been long associated with delivering good quality audio products and the BRAVEN 850 is no exception."
"This is the second BRAVEN speaker to make the list and it really is a good one. The BRAVEN BRV-HD is designed to be both powerful and durable."

Photography exhibition 'Wunderland' by Frank Kunert, 10 April to 7 June 2015, La Chambre, 4 place d'Austerlitz, 67000 Strasbourg.
"More than simply a photographic satire, the 'miniature worlds' of Frank Kunert are compositions of ideas, models of sets which he spends weeks and months meticulously putting together from plastic, modeling clay and paint until the results are perfect, almost lifelike. These 'miniature worlds' are funny, bizarre, grotesque, contemplative, dreamy, but also provocative and critical. It's up to the viewer to decide if he finds them entertaining or macabre, or how far he's willing or able to follow the stories Kunert tells."
(The Eye of Photography, L'Oeil de la Photographie)
"Tactical Media emerged when the modest goals of media artists and media activists were transformed into a movement that challenged everyone to produce their own media in support of their own political struggles. This "new media" activism was based on the insight that the long-held distinction between the 'street' (reality) and the 'media' (representation) could no longer be upheld. On the contrary, the media had come to infuse all of society.
To challenge dominant (strategic) structures in society, it was necessary develop new (tactical) means of producing and distributing media. Not a specialised task separate from the social movements, but a key activity around which social movements could coalesce. And of equal importance, the media environment characterised by a broadcast logic of geography was being supplemented with an environment characterised by a many-to-many logic of access.
Though much has changed these insights remain as valid today as they did in the early 1990s."

When Helen and I moved into our first home together, it was a ground floor flat in Central Road, Didsbury, Manchester. The upstairs flat was occupied by one of the smallest full sized (if that makes any sense) women I have ever known, named Ena.
Ena can barely have been 4′ 8″ tall. She was in her mid-sixties and told us that she had been in a cabaret act with her sister, who had sadly died not long before we met her. They had, I think, been acrobats.
We began by thinking that she was going to be the neighbour from hell, as she complained that we made too much noise late at night. Now, bearing in mind that Helen was at the time a trainee bakery manager, and therefore often had to be at work for 6am, we were not staying up that late and almost certainly weren't making a lot of noise (well, not when we were not arguing). However, Ena turned out to be very friendly and helpful, even to the point of painting our front room whilst we were away – she had a set of brushes attached to poles which she used to reach the high spots.
The last time I saw her was the day that Margaret Thatcher resigned. We had not long moved out and had gone around to collect our post. Ena invited us into her flat for the first time ever, and then sat there and cried because Thatcher was gone. Helen empathised. I bit my tongue. Very. Hard. Indeed.
My guess is that, sadly, Ena is no longer with us. Although Helen and I dropped her occasional notes and cards, we never heard from her again. A look at the building we all lived in – thanks to Google Streetview – shows that it has been converted from two flats to four, so she clearly isn't there any more. I remember her with nothing but fondness. She was a nice little person.

A new polls shows that most New Jersey voters want Chris Christie to exit the 2016 race for the White House and go back to his full-time job as governor.
Sixty-one percent of those asked said Christie should drop out of the race, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll. Only 33 percent said Christie, who polled fourth among Republican presidential candidates in the poll, should stay in the race.
Even among New Jersey Republicans, just a bare majority, 53 percent, said Christie should stay in the race, while 40 percent said it is time to drop out.
And if Christie doesn't end his 2016 presidential bid? Most, 51 percent, said he should leave his position as governor while he runs. This question broke down along party lines, as most Republicans (71 percent) said they want Christie to stay in office, and most Democrats (74 percent) wanted Christie to resign.
More than six in 10 (63 percent) said that Christie's presidential campaign is distracting him from issues at home, while 33 percent said it was not. Just 42 percent of Republicans called his campaign a distraction, compared to 79 percent of Democrats who did.Read more on WashingtonExaminer.com

This story has been updated from an earlier published version reflecting additional comment from the retailer.
The former Plumb's Valu-Rite Foods chain in Michigan has begun converting its stores to the Great Lakes Fresh Market banner and is adding the Best Choice and Always Save private labels from Associated Wholesale Grocers.
The three-store chain, which was acquired last year by Menominee, Mich.-based L.M. Foods, is remodeling the stores with a focus on fresh foods and service, Dan Gentz, president of Great Lakes Fresh Market, said.
"We already have Meijer and Walmart and Aldi, but we are an independently owned store, and we feel there's room for that here," he said. "Outstanding service is what we are going to hang our hat on, as well as our perishables."
Gentz is a longtime food industry veteran who most recently had been working for Menominee, Mich.-based Great Lakes Foods, which had taken over supply to Plumb's last year before the acquisition. Both L.M. Foods and Great Lakes Foods are owned by local logistics industry veteran Tom Kuber.
Kuber has "made the opportunity available down the road" for Gentz to acquire the stores, he said.
"Ultimately, I would like to own these stores, but we'll see how it goes," said Gentz. "Right now I am just focused on getting the stores up and running, and turning them into local markets where people want to shop — making it their store."
Adding the AWG private labels marks an expansion in the Western Michigan market in the wake of AWG's acquisition of Affiliated Foods Midwest last year. As previously reported, the acquisition of AFM, with warehouses in Norfolk, Neb., and Kenosha, Wis., expanded AWG's reach in the Upper Midwest.
Great Lakes Foods had been a customer of AFM but now buys product, including private label, from AWG, Gentz said. As Plumb's, the store had been supplied by SpartanNash in Grand Rapids.
Great Lakes Foods primarily supplies independent retailers in Michigan's Upper Peninsula region and in Wisconsin. Its 300,000-square-foot distribution facility is located on Michigan's Upper Peninsula on the border of Wisconsin, near Green Bay.
Great Lakes Fresh Market operates stores in Muskegon, North Muskegon and Whitehall, in Western Michigan near Grand Rapids. The stores are undergoing a remodeling and rebranding over the next several months.
The remodeling includes new signage and décor, modern coolers, an expanded grab-and-go offering in the deli, and an expanded craft beer and wine section. Gentz said the company is investing about $500,000 to $600,000 per store on the effort.
The stores will include full-service bakeries and delis, a selection of hot prepared foods such as rotisserie and fried chicken, and store-made sandwiches and salads, he said.
Great Lakes Fresh Market will also carry Great Lakes Foods' Signature Meat program, which includes store-made sausages, gourmet burgers and marinated meats and poultry and other value-added meat items made fresh in-store, according to Gentz.
He's also looking to expand the offering of local items, including more local produce.
Gentz also said he's currently evaluating the possibility of reopening a former Plumb's location in Norton Shores, Mich., which the chain had shuttered last year before the acquisition by L.M. Foods amid deteriorating sales and in-stock conditions.

"I wish for you to stand up for what you care about by participating in a global art project, and together we'll turn the world...INSIDE OUT." – JR
INSIDE OUT is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Everyone is challenged to use black and white photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world. These digitally uploaded images will be made into posters and sent back to the project's co-creators for them to exhibit in their own communities. People can participate as an individual or in a group; posters can be placed anywhere, from a solitary image in an office window to a wall of portraits on an abandoned building or a full stadium. These exhibitions will be documented, archived and viewable virtually.
The INSIDE OUT project recently came through the city of Barcelona, here are just some photos of the activities outside CCCB. Photos taken by photographer Ivan Jimenez.

Halloween Message
Halloween is the day that girls decide it is socially acceptable to be slutty. Dresses get even shorter and more low cut. Hooker heels become acceptable.
Would you normally be brazen enough to wear any of this? No. But for some reason the calendar flicking over to October 31 makes it acceptable. A night without repercussions.
The thing is there are actually consequences. The wild parties lead to drunken debauchery and hangovers. And that's just the tip of my unimaginative nightmare.
What am I going to be tomorrow? Boring.
I plan on staying home, ordering a pizza and watching a horror movie. That is my ideal Halloween. Pay homage to sugar, carbs and the horror film gods named Craven, Carpenter & Hitchcock. With a little It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown thrown in.

Terms and Concepts
Inter Partes Reexamination
Inter partes reexamination can be requested by any party other than the patent owner and its privies, at any time during the period of enforceability of a patent [37 C.F.R. § 1.913]. Inter partes reexamination is only available for patents that issued from an original application filed in the United States on or after November 29, 1999 [37 C.F.R. § 1.913]. Until recently, the meaning of "an original application" was not fully settled. The issue was whether an inter partes reexamination can be filed on a patent from a continuation application having a filing date on or after November 29, 1999, but which claims priority to a filing before November 29, 1999.
The PTO's position was that "an original application" includes any application with an actual filing date on or after November 29, 1999, regardless of whether that application claimed priority to an application filed before that date. The PTO's interpretation was upheld in district court and was subsequently affirmed by the Federal Circuit in Cooper Techs. Co. v. Dudas [Cooper Techs. Co. v. Dudas, No. 2008-1130, slip op. at 2-7 (Fed. Cir. Aug. 19, 2008)]. The practical effect is that only patents whose actual filing date is on or after November 29, 1999, is eligible for inter partes reexamination, irrespective of whether the patent's effective filing date is earlier.
As with ex parte reexaminations, a third party requester can petition the PTO Director to review a determination refusing inter partes reexamination. The director's decision of the petition is non-appealable [37 C.F.R. § 1.927].
A patent owner is entitled to appeal to the BPAI and to the Federal Circuit with respect to any decision adverse to the patentability of any original or proposed amended or new claim of the patent [35 U.S.C. § 315(a)]. A third party requester is entitled to appeal to the BPAI and to the Federal Circuit with respect to any final decision favorable to the patentability of any original or proposed amended or new claim of the patent [35 U.S.C. § 315(b)].
Appeals of Inter Partes Reexamination to BPAI and Federal Circuit
Not a single inter partes reexamination appeal from the BPAI to the Federal Circuit has been decided to date. The first inter partes reexaminations appealed to the Federal Circuit were voluntarily dismissed by the appellant prior to briefing and oral argument [Cooper Cameron v. SAFOCO Inc., Reexamination Nos. 95/000,015 and 95/000,017, Nos. 2009-1435,-1459 (Federal Circuit)]. While a small percentage of inter partes reexamination certificates have issued from the CRU, a search of BPAI decisions from July 1, 1997 to July 1, 2010 reveals that the BPAI has decided only 29 inter partes reexamination appeals to date [FOIA Reading Room and Database of Final Decisions Issued by the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences (Last Accessed July 1, 2010)]. A reexamination certificate is issued at the completion of reexamination canceling any claim of the patent finally determined to be unpatentable, confirming any claim determined to be patentable, and incorporating any amended or new claim determined to be patentable. Significantly, seven of these decisions resulted in a non-final, non-appealable decision, and were therefore remanded to the examiner for further prosecution [See Reexamination Control Nos. 95/000,006 (USPN 6,357,595); 95/000,009 (USPN 6,399, 670); 95/000,030 (USPN 6,508,393); 95/000,038 (USPN 6,527,941); 95/000,064 (USPN 6,767,487); 95/000,066 (USPN 6,789,673); and 95/000,069 (USPN 6,789,673)].
One reason for the BPAI's inability to issue final decisions seems to be a lack of clarity in both the rules and statutes for the role of the BPAI in reviewing CRU decisions. More specifically, it is not clear whether the BPAI should act as a judge between patent owner and the third party requester, or whether it should sit as a "super examiner," the role it often takes in appeals.
It has been posed to the authors that the reason no inter partes case make it from the BPAI to the Federal Circuit is due (1) to the very small number of inter partes reexaminations filed in the early years of the statute; and (2) to the practical reality that the inter partes reexamination process is a "work in progress" and like all such endeavors, it takes time to work out the kinks and "get it right." Both of these observations appear correct but belie the practical consequences that the goals of inter partes reexamination of being faster, better and cheaper that the district courts in assessing patentability based on patents and printed publications have failed so far in practice.
The Chart entitled "Procedure Following Board Decision for Reexaminations Commenced On or After November 2, 2002" in MPEP § 2601.01 graphically shows at least one remand problem that currently exists. In this example, the remand from the BPAI to the CRU occurs where a proposed ground of rejection in the reexamination request is not adopted by the CRU examiners in the first Office action. On appeal to the BPAI, the third party requester raises this as a "new ground of rejection" that should have been made by CRU. The BPAI agrees but does not have the factual and argument record to decide the rejection and thus remands the reexamination back to the CRU to address with the parties. This remand may occur for other reasons or may occur a second time. It is the specter of multiple remands that has created the concern that inter partes reexamination may be fundamentally flawed.
At Sedona PL 2008, this possibility of multiple remands (dubbed the "infinite do loop" from computer programming parlance) was raised and seriously discussed. Senior PTO officials and others were concerned about its existence. Since then the authors have conferred with these senior officials and others to assess whether this problem is global or whether it is limited to two possible remands or to certain situations (e.g., the unadopted proposed ground of rejection example discussed). It seems that it is too early in the deployment of the current inter partes reexamination process to know whether the problem is global. Moreover, it may be that the BPAI will go more in the direction of acting as a judge who makes a final decision and sets the case for appeal to Federal Circuit, and less as a "super examiner" who remands for another round of prosecution in its review of inter partes reexaminations.
Another possible reason for the lack of cases making it to the Federal Circuit, is that, for a certain small subset of inter partes reexaminations, the process is effective without the need to appeal to either the BPAI or the Federal Circuit. According to recent PTO statistics, 167 inter partes reexamination certificates have issued out of the 923 total requests filed as of June 30, 2010 [USPTO Inter Partes Reexamination Filing Data (June 30, 2010)]. While this represents only 18% of total inter partes reexaminations, the outcome data indicates that third party requesters succeeded in having all claims cancelled or disclaimed in 49% (82) of the completed inter partes proceedings in which a reexamination certificate issued. In 43% (71), claims were changed in some way and in only 8% (14) did all claims survive reexamination unamended (Id.). The high success rate is skewed by the significant non-response rate by the patent owner either after a first Office action or after actions later in prosecution. Because a large number of inter partes reexaminations are also involved in co-pending litigation, this data might simply reflect the cases in which the parties have settled or in which the district court has reached a determination regarding validity.
The practical effect of this uncertainty appears to be that the BPAI remands at least some reexaminations, especially inter partes, back to the CRU. The question has been raised by several people as to why this multiple remand ("infinite do loop") problem does not exist with ex parte reexamination. One answer may be the structural difference of the third party requester not having standing once the ex parte request is instituted. A patent owner has no incentive to raise the "new ground of rejection" argument at the BPAI that the CRU should have adopted a proposed ground of rejection not used from the reexamination request. Based on the authors' interviews with senior BPAI and CRU personnel, we know the PTO is aware of this issue and is working to assess the issue and perhaps to devise changes that take into consideration the policy goals behind inter partes reexamination. Specifically, the PTO is seeking an approach that recognizes that inter partes reexamination should not be used as a tool to harass patent owners, but rather should function as a post-grant validity check on issued patents that is faster, cheaper, and better than federal court challenges. Those objectives formed Congress's basis for creating the inter partes reexamination process.
Estoppels in inter partes reexamination
Estoppels in an inter partes reexamination flow two ways—from the inter partes reexamination to the civil action and from the civil action to the inter partes reexamination. In a subsequent civil action, a party cannot argue invalidity of a claim finally determined to be valid or patentable on any ground which that party raised or could have raised during the inter partes reexamination [35 U.S.C. § 315(c)]. The third party is not, however, precluded from asserting invalidity based on newly discovered art that was unavailable to the third party requester and the PTO at the time of the inter partes reexamination [35 U.S.C. § 315(c)]. Similarly, once a final decision has been entered against a party in a civil action that the party has not sustained its burden of proving the invalidity of any patent claim in suit, the party and its privies cannot request inter partes reexamination on the basis of issues that the third party raised or could have raised in the civil action [35 U.S.C. § 317(b)]. It appears from the statute that these estoppels in inter partes cases apply only to civil actions brought in the district court under 28 U.S.C. § 1338 and not to Section 337 ITC investigations. Whether this was an oversight is unknown, but the authors are not aware of any cases for which estoppel has been applied in an ITC investigation.
Once a request for inter partes reexamination has been granted, the third party requester cannot file a subsequent request for inter partes reexamination while the prior inter partes reexamination is pending [35 U.S.C. § 317(a)]. Further, once a final decision is granted favorable to patentability of any original, proposed amended, or new claim, the third party requester cannot thereafter request inter partes reexamination of such claim on the basis of issues that the third party raised or could have raised in the prior inter partes reexamination [35 U.S.C. § 317(b)].
Finally, after an inter partes reexamination has been instituted, the third party requester is precluded from citing any additional prior art unless it rebuts a finding of the examiner or a response by the patent owner, or if it became known or available after filing the request [37 C.F.R. § 1.948]. There are no estoppels, however, that prevent the third party requester from filing subsequent ex parte reexaminations. But the CRU closely examines such subsequent requests with a close eye to whether there is, in fact, a true SNQ.

Courtesy: RougeThe directors of Skyline have another
Apparently the Strause brothers, Colin and Greg, have the answer. The fraternal filmmaking duo creates trailers first – before principal photography even begins – in order to sell their movie. This is the formula that spit out the utterly forgettable Skyline (MRQE Metric: 38).
So these brothers worked some sort of used car magic to get their last picture financed, and according to Movieweb.com, Strause Inc. is at it again, all this despite the meager box office success of Skyline.
They are filming a trailer for an admittedly interesting concept, War of the Ages, a time-warping 3D epic which will put some of history's greatest generals (heavy hitters like Napoleon and Julius Caesar) against one another.
Concept aside, whatever happened to writing an engaging script, you know with three solid acts and a gripping climax, before looking to get a project financed? Careful guys, your Hollywood work ethic is showing.
Even more mind-boggling is the willingness of a producer to fork over a hefty budget without ever even knowing what actually happens in the film. It just goes to show YOU, the buying audience, that studios don't care what they're showing you so long as they can get you in the theaters with a good two-minute trailer.
Can anyone say Sucker Punch? Yes, it's a double entendre.

On Friday, New York Supreme Court Judge Manuel Mendez disappointed players of fantasy sports in New York, as well as the NBA, MLB, and the NHL, by ruling daily fantasy operators DraftKings and FanDuel could not do business in new York.
Mendez granted a preliminary injunction to New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who had argued the sites operated illegal gambling sites. Schneiderman posited that New York's ban on bookmaking and other forms of sports gambling, instituted in 1894, precluded the two companies from doing business in his state. His memorandum stated, "So-called Daily Fantasy Sports ('DFS') wagers fit squarely in both these definitions, though by meeting just one of the two definitions DFS would be considered gambling. DFS is nothing more than a rebranding of sports betting. It is plainly illegal."
Mendez agreed, rebuffing arguments from the fantasy operators that asserted that their clients did not transgress gambling statutes because players only submitted an entry fee, rather than wagers. Mendez wrote, "New York State penal law does not refer to 'wagering' or 'betting,' rather it states that a person, 'risks something of value.' The payment of an 'entry fee' as high as $10,600 on one or more contests daily could certainly be deemed risking 'something of value.'"
DraftKings, based in Boston with a satellite office in New York, immediately filed an appeal, claiming Mendez "misapplied the law." FanDuel, based in New York, also promised to appeal.
Schneiderman, delighted, stated, "We are pleased with the decision, consistent with our view that DraftKings and FanDuel are operating illegal gambling operations in clear violation of New York law. I have said from the beginning that my job is to enforce the law, and that is what happened today."
David Boies, attorney for DraftKings, responded, "We are disappointed with the Court's decision, and will immediately file an emergency notice of appeal in order to preserve the status quo. Daily Fantasy Sports contests have been played legally by New Yorkers for the past seven years and we believe this status quo should be maintained while the litigation plays out."
The NBA has equity in FanDuel; MLB and the NHL own equity in DraftKings. FanDuel or DraftKings share advertising partnerships with virtually every NFL team. In October, Washington Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of NFL players against FanDuel.
Over 600,000 New Yorkers paying a total of over $200 million in 2015 have played daily fantasy on DraftKings and FanDuel.

How prepared was your body to run 100 miles when you had just run a 100 mile race 3-4 weeks earlier?
Since I began my never-take-another-day-off running streak a couple years ago, I made sure that I would at least get out the very next day and "run" at least a mile. The running more resembled a hobble, but I still would go for a mile. The next two days were less painful, and I either completed the mile quicker or I would run 2-3 miles. By Wednesday (race was Saturday), I was just fine running my 'short loop' of 5 miles at a more or less normal training run pace. Thursday through Saturday I could easily run my 9+ mile loops without any problems or worries. For two full years I had proceeded in this fashion after running 100-mile races. So when I decided to run one 100-miler per month from the end of October through the end of January (including a 100k and a 50-miler), I didn't think it'd be too difficult at all. By the following weekend I had always felt back to normal. And there would be a full 3-4 weeks between all of these races (except for the one week recovery from the final 100-miler to the 50-miler). I felt great going into each race and I don't think that I would've done any better had I not ran any other races and only concentrated on that one. The only one that I didn't feel great at the start was the 50-miler at the very end.
I'm sure I'll do this again this coming fall/winter, unless a certain significant other can convince me otherwise. I really enjoyed the whole thing this past year. Maybe not so much in the later miles of each race, but I was always so happy and feeling like I accomplished something cool when I finished. Plus I have to see if I can do all those races and finish in under 100 hours (It took me 100 hours and 30 minutes this time.).
In 2010, before I was a crazy runner, I put my name on a message board for the TIR (Texas Independence Relay). It's a relay race for 200 miles with teams of up to 12 runners. I had previously ran a RAGNAR race with some friends (the Texas one that only lasted one year) and had heard about the TIR. I received an email and joined an 8-man team. I didn't know any of the team, but we all had a really fun time. But what caught my attention was that there were two runners who were going to attempt to run the entire relay race as a solo act. Again, I wasn't crazy, yet, but I knew right there that that was cool and could see myself doing that one day. I now see myself in a position where I have quite a bit of experience running long ultras and want to know how much farther I can run and how much further I can push myself. In March of 2016 I hope to be running the TIR as a solo entrant.
I don't know if it was from watching Forrest Gump or if I somehow came up with the idea on my own. But once it was there, I knew it would be the best summer vacation ever. I should run across the entire country. There's no way I could afford it. Just food and renting an RV for two months would cost a fortune. Luckily I'm a teacher, so I wouldn't need to take time off from work. That's all I have to say about that.
There have recently been some interesting races that have sprouted up. One in Tahoe and another in Colorado, possibly a few others. They feature 200 miles (with no loops) in some beautiful mountains. One of the only downsides is the cost just to enter the race. But it has definitely peaked my interest.
