On a lovely day at the end of February we had a guided walk through the snowdrops at Edinburgh Royal Botanical Gardens, marvelling at the variety.
So much passion is inspired by this delicate flower that large sums change hands for any new sport with a slightly different characteristic. It might be worth having a close look at your own snowdrops in case you are cultivating something special.

I will soon be in touch with members on the garden exchange circulation list about more forthcoming events.

If you have a slow computer I HIGHLY recommend closing as many internet-browser-tabs / programs on your computer as possible for maximum performance. I also have a quality toggle control so I recommend switching it to medium or low if you still have trouble.
Now that that's out of the way, I finally give you the next installment of DLW (formerly known as OCT)! While the length of this episode is around the same as the previous two, the time it took to make it was over twice as long (7 months). One reason for this is because I'm working full-time now with something else so I don't have as much time as I used to to plow through something like this.
The other reason is, well, improvement factors. Every episode there is always more improvement because I keep pushing myself and trying new things. This time I pushed Flash to its limits as I had a rough time trying to keep play performance as best as I can while trying to keep file size as low as I can.
Some frames are heavy in effects/filters so I rendered jpgs for those shots to ease Flash a bit. Now I know that can do the opposite as well lol. After a good balance between using them and no, and keeping performance as high as possible, this is the result.
Drew and his character creation LyDia enter themselves in an Original Character Tournament (OCT) located on a floating island once protected by a being known as Dareva, before monsters and demons wiped out the population. With no one left to protect, she and a mysterious gentleman organize this tournament where the prize is a wish granted by Dareva herself, before she will disappear.
Two successful rounds later, Drew and LyDia already find themselves close to the finals. At the same time, other things have been stirring around. Participants have been killed and monsters have appeared throughout the city. An unknown and "unregistered" contestant makes its way to the wish everyone is after. The meeting place for everyone and everything is the tower at the center of the city and the island.
For more of the story, visit "mythical-human" on deviantART.
Really nice animation and storyline.
Hmmm... Can you give LyDia a voice? Rina-Chan mabye?
Been waiting for the next episode! :D
It's a little slow, but it's great work!

Many traditional phone services come with a variety of unwanted restrictions, and they make it nearly impossible to change an area code.

The option to change area codes is especially useful for business calls.

Quick DSL is the hallmark of phone service in Montrose, MN. Like traditional phone service lines, DSL uses copper wire. However, the convenience and speed of DSL distinguish it from traditional phone lines. Most consumers use a telephone service that bundles Internet service with it. The DSL provider installs a modem in the customer's home or business. With a modem, the consumer has access to the telephone line and Internet connection at the same time.
Prices vary for DSL services. A base price of $19.95 per month is not uncommon. Prices can increase for more feature packed DSL plans. One way of capping costs is for consumers to sign a contract with DSL providers guaranteeing a set monthly price. There are lots of different DSL plans that can fit most budgets, but more features may stretch the budget.
Montrose, MN DSL service offers the duality of using the Internet at the same time as using the telephone. This is markedly different from traditional services which tie up the residential phone. Consumers with dial-up services may find themselves frustrated when they need to use the telephone only to discover the computer using it. DSL service frees the telephone line allowing the consumer to use both at the same time. The must faster speed provided by DSL also makes it a better choice over traditional phone services.
DSL service does have some disadvantages. Reliability is not guaranteed. Consumer distance from the DSL provider affects how the service performs. Distances of further than 18,000 feet between the customer and the DSL provider may result in the consumer without any functional service. Periods of peak usage among the DSL provider's consumers may significantly affect the quality of the service. If a consumer relies on the service for emergencies or use during holiday periods, they may the lack of reliability disappointing.

Last week, in Part 1, I talked about the physical effects that sitting at a desk has on you. They aren't a happy group of effects to behold, but don't despair! There are lots of things you can do to help counter what your desk is doing to you. Today, we'll start with the easy stuff: things you can do "at your desk."
Most of the biggest problems caused by your desk are caused by one thing: lack of movement. This is especially true for the metabolic effects that are really insidious (you know, the ones like 40% increased risk of death).
So, get up and move around! At least once every one-hour block of desk sitting (preferably every 30 minutes, but I know that's less feasible), get up and take a walk for a few minutes. Not only will it help alleviate the metabolic dead-ness you're causing your body, it will help you re-focus as well.
Improve Your Desk to Improve Your Posture
There are entire articles (and fields of study) devoted to setting up workspaces ergonomically, but I'll give the brief overview.
- Adjust your chair height so that your feet are firmly on the ground, and your knees make right angles. If this isn't possible, get something to rest your feet on that allows the correct height.
- Your keyboard and mouse should be placed at a height that allows your arms to hang straight down and your elbows to make right angles when your hands are on the keyboard – generally about 2 inches above your lap. This is the tricky part, since 99% of the time, desks are way too high for this, and you have to elevate your shoulders and arms to sit on the desk to type. In that case, use a keyboard tray that hangs under your desk to reach the right level.
- Elevate your monitor(s) such that the middle of the screen is level with your eyes when your head is straight. There are stands for this, but fat books (I use Harry Potter) work just as well and are very adjustable.
Stretch It Out
- The anatomical position stretch – from a standing position with your arms by your sides, rotate your arms so your palms are facing forward. At the same time, retract and depress your shoulder blades (as if you were trying to put them in your back pockets). This should create a nice stretch in the chest and shoulder girdle. I like to do this while I do my hourly walk around the office.
- Desk yoga – I pretty much follow this guide by Yoga guy Rodney Yee. You will get some odd looks, but it's worth it. Your upper body will feel great, and you'll be counteracting many of the "upper crossed syndrome" postures we talked about last time.

What We Believe
Carolina New Song is an evangelical Christian ministry. We believe in the Trinity; that God exists in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We attempt to bring all aspects of our ministry into accord with the Bible which we regard as a revelation by God of His nature and of the plan He established for human redemption. We hold the Bible in its original languages to be the inspired, inerrant and authoritative Word of God. In this view it represents the true basis for men and women to govern their lives in conformity to God's will. In his second letter to Timothy (2 Timothy 3:16) Paul encourages believers with these words:
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
We believe that the Bible calls all believers to holiness and through his Holy Spirit guides and encourages us in the paths of righteousness. We do not believe that same-sex attractions are sinful per se, but that indulging these attractions in fantasies or in any type of sexual behavior is a form of immorality that does not conform to God's call to holiness.
We also believe that Scripture promises us a wholly new life through faith in Jesus Christ the incarnate Son of God whose sacrifice on the cross provides us with the way to forgiveness and salvation. When one comes to faith the Holy Spirit indwells us and leads us into that promised new life – a life of increasing holiness. This promise is as true for a person experiencing same-sex attractions as for any other person. Our faith in Christ has broken our bondage to sin and made possible our resistance to the work of our enemy Satan. If, or when, a believer experiences a fall, God is faithful to forgive a repentant sinner.
Carolina New Song wants to extend a helping hand to those who have embarked on this journey of change. We do so with a deep awareness of how difficult and challenging this journey will be.
As a member ministry of Restored Hope Network, we at Carolina New Song Ministries also affirm their Doctrinal Statement.

I enjoy watching the show Shark Tank. Like the show's hosts, sometimes I think the products are great. And other times I think, "Really???" You can tell who researched their idea before jumping in, and who didn't. We watch the show to see both the brilliantly developed ideas and the ones that aren't quite ready for a full market launch.
When you are in the early stages of introducing a product or service, it is important to have a clear vision of what the product or service is, how it will be used, and who is the target audience. Your early stages of evaluating an idea should focus on Idea Screening, Identifying New Opportunities and Identifying your Target Audience. Taking the time at these early stages can mean the difference between resounding successes and big flops.
In the Idea Screening phase, you'll want to assess if the idea has merit. That is, is there sufficient interest to take the product to the next stage of development? Whether it's a breakthrough or a new twist on an existing product, are enough people interested in it? In other words, do your homework.
If there is enough interest in the product, you can move onto the next phase, which is to Identify New Opportunities that will help you to understand the category landscape, assess the current marketplace, and identify any unmet needs this product can satisfy. With your idea screened and opportunity identified, you are ready to Identify your Target Audience in order to most efficiently target your marketing and communications.
Although your new ideas won't be subjected to the business sharks on Shark Tank, the show is a good reminder that taking the appropriate steps in the early stages will allow you to have more confidence about where your product fits in the marketplace and how it can meet the needs of customers."
Thinking back to Shark Tank, there was one idea that stood out in respect to researching its opportunity. There was a new, miniature-sized popcorn snack looking to enter the market with specific health benefits and unique gourmet flavors. The creators of the mini-popcorn product claim that it is all natural, non-GMO and vegan — appealing to folks who find those specific benefits important. They also have several unique flavors (truffle, rosemary, vinegar) in addition to the traditional popcorn flavors (sea salt, kettle, cheddar). The product has a premium price point.
When this product was featured on Shark Tank, it was only sold via mail order through word-of-mouth. The miniature-popcorn producers had not yet come to terms with how far they could reach in the marketplace, but they did know where their product fit, who their target was, and the specific needs their product could meet. Based on the early stage evaluation steps outlined here, the mini-popcorn producers' next phase would be to develop possible new flavor ideas to expand their line and identify claims that may help to broaden their customer base.
Although your new ideas won't be subjected to the business sharks on Shark Tank, the show is a good reminder that taking the appropriate steps in the early stages will allow you to have more confidence about where your product fits in the marketplace and how it can meet the needs of customers.

Unless you are extremely unlucky or live life on the edge, when you walk into the office of a personal injury law firm, it probably will be the first time you ever did so. Lots of questions will go through your mind as you are anxious to find out what will happen next. You may feel a little tense and you may forget all the questions you had when you were driving to the attorney's office.
One of the smartest things you can do before visiting a personal injury attorney is to put together any information or documentation you may have regarding your situation and then write down a list of questions you want to ask the personal injury lawyer when you get to his or her office.
Let the attorney explain to you the basic process and then bring out your list of questions. You don't really have to read them word for word from your paper, just use your notes to remind you of the various issues you want to discuss. Depending on your understanding of your legal rights and familiarity with legal procedures, you may have just a few technical questions or a host of more general issues that you need explained. Your attorney will be more than happy to go over any and all questions that you may have.
One of the first questions that most people have when they sit down with their attorney for the first time is whether or not they have a case and how good a chance they have of winning. No attorney is ever going to tell you that you absolutely can not lose and you are guaranteed a six figure settlement, but they will say something like you have a very good case and that they feel confident you will win. You can feel pretty confident that you have a good case if your personal injury lawyer agrees to take your case. Unless he or she strongly believes that they can win the case, they would not take it because they get paid on contingency.
Another question to ask is how long the case will take. Some big and complicated cases can take several years to settle, while a straightforward auto accident case can be settled in less than two weeks. You might have questions about what to do with medical bills or other bills that are piling up because you can't work and your attorney will try to provide you with some good advice that will calm your worries.
As the client, you have the right to ask questions at anytime during your case.If you want to know why it is taking so long, call the law office and get an answer. Don't get too agitated because you sometimes need patience before you ultimately receive the settlement you deserve.

Obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher.
What is BMI and how is it calculated?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters.

Those who want to keep up with developments in Cuba, can do worse than reading the Miami Herald. After reading Mr. Calzon's article yesterday, I am writing to encourage the Herald's editors to look into labor conditions in Cuba and to take an editorial position on such an important matter.
Labor unions in the United States are no longer as important as they once were, but in America one may count on newspapers, radio, and television stations and all kinds of professional organizations – as well as our state assemblymen, senators and congressman – to insist on fair wages and to attempt to bring to an end the worst abuses, by exposing them.
If President Obama were to focus on labor and worker issues in Cuba, his new efforts will be well received beyond business and investment circles.

Read about Opportunity Fund in the news.
Small Business Loans in Jeopardy
June 2018 — A little-known but essential state program called CalCAP, which helps small banks and Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) make loans to small businesses, is in jeopardy of running out of funds. But Senate Bill 551, sponsored by state Sen. Ben Hueso, would give CalCAP new life and, having already passed the Senate, is working its way through the Assembly—starting with the committee on Jobs, Economic Development and the Economy (JEDE) on June 19.
The Most Important Small Business Lending Program You've Never Heard Of
May 2018 — When the federal State Small Business Credit Initiative expired in May 2017, so did the funding for state programs that support small business lending through loan loss reserves. Opportunity Fund was able to cover 8,754 loans through the end of 2017 and is eager to continue supporting underserved small business owners to the same degree. Now, Opportunity Fund has thrown its support behind SB 551, a state bill that seeks several reforms to protect California's program.
NMTCs Restore Tribal Lands, Create Wildlife and Salmon Sanctuary - and Jobs
May 2018 — Partnering with U.S. Bancorp Community Development Corporation (USBCDC), Opportunity Fund provided its largest NMTC allocation of $41 Million to restore tribal land for California's Yurok Tribe, developing a salmon sanctuary and community forest that will be an economic boost for the Yurok Tribe, which faces high levels of poverty and unemployment. The overall NMTC allocations will help support the creation of 171 full-time jobs, retention of 185 existing jobs and the creation of 329 construction jobs.
Founder Eric Weaver on CBS-5 (KPIX), Honored with Jefferson Award for Public Service
February 2018 — Founder Eric Weaver receives a Jefferson Award for Public Service, recognizing "quiet heroes in the community," and honoring those who have made significant impact through public service at the national and local level. Eric is joined in the story by #OpportunityFunded entrepreneur Alicia Villanueva, owner of Alicia's Tamales Los Mayas.
Non-profit lender is a life line for small business
December 2017 — Three #OpportunityFunded entrepreneurs are featured in a story about the loans Opportunity Fund provides to Latino entrepreneurs in California. The article also quotes CEO Luz Urrutia: "Opportunity Fund believes in the power of saying 'Yes' to everyone's dream to build a business, so entrepreneurs in every community can thrive, support their families, and create jobs vital to our economy," said Luz Urrutia, CEO of Opportunity Fund.
An Entrepreneurial Program At Risk in Budget Talks
December 2017 — Amidst tax reform and federal budget negotiations, lesser-known programs that have tremendous impact, like the CDFI Fund, are at risk of being overlooked and losing critical funding. On behalf of small business owners, Opportunity CEO Luz Urrutia calls to maintain funding for the CDFI Fund: "It is imperative we not lose sight of lesser-known, at-risk programs that propel entrepreneurship, spur job creation, and shore up communities in ways that are integral to our economy, our democracy and the way we imagine destiny, liberty and opportunity for Americans across the land."
Opportunity Fund Expands Lending in Central Valley through Community Partnership with Fresno Area Hispanic Foundation
November 2017 — The Fresno Area Hispanic Foundation joins Opportunity Fund's Community Partner Program. Together, the organizations will support entrepreneurs in the Central Valley who do not qualify for tradiitonal financing. This partnership is one of many made by Opportunity Fund to expand access to capital for more small business owners in new areas of California.
Small Businesses And Low-Income Americans Will Lose Under New Budget Cuts To CDFI And NMTC Programs
November 2017 — Congress has proposed a budget that decreases the CDFI Fund and tax reform that would eliminate the New Markets Tax Credit program. Opportunity Fund CEO Luz Urrutia shares this perspective in Forbes: "As lawmakers cast their votes on the budget and negotiate tax reform, they must have their eyes wide open about who is hurting in our country and support the programs that are working. The CDFI Fund and NMTC program work. We must keep them. People's futures are hanging in the balance."
Google backs fund aimed at minority-owned small businesses in Santa Clara County
September 2017 — Opportunity Fund and Pacific Community Ventures announced a new collaboration funded by Google.org. The $600,000 grant will help 150 small business owners in Santa Clara County access the funding and business advice they need to grow their businesses, create jobs, and support the local economy
Why is the GOP trying to hide the funding problems small businesses face?
September 2017 — Opportunity Fund CEO Luz Urrutia calls on the GOP to support the 1071 data reporting requirement, which requires the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to collect statistics on the state of small business lending, including information about access to credit for women and minority-owned businesses. This data brings light to discriminatory practices and gaps in small business lending and is cruical for ensuring equal opportunity for small business owners.

The funeral has taken place of journalist Rosemarie Davies, who last week lost a seven-month fight against cancer, aged 45.
Her family, including her husband, Moses Terfouss, and mother, Gwen Alcock, were with her when she died at her Uttoxeter home.
The couple have a six-year-old son, Said, who was among the congregation paying their last respects at St Mary's parish church.
The service was conducted by Reverend Dominic Stone who spoke of Rosemarie's passion for life.
He said: "Rosie was passionate about many things. Her life has touched so many other lives. Because of this she represented all of us.
"Sometimes she spoke on our behalf. In a way she belonged to us all. She belonged to this town, and somehow was a voice of this place." James Watson, a friend and work colleague at the Uttoxeter Post and Times, read out a tribute at the funeral, describing her as someone whose passion for journalism never dulled and who broke countless stories, both in the local and national press.
When he once asked her why she helped young reporters, like him, to develop their craft she replied: "If you enjoy your job, you want to give others that chance." She also kept her black humour to the last, threatening to haunt him if his speech at her funeral was not good enough.
Rosemarie was taken on as a 17-year-old at the Burton Mail's sister paper, The Uttoxeter Advertiser, working from an office in Market Street, where the newspaper was then based.
After completing her training she branched out on her own, setting up a freelance business called Samuels, named after her late father, Samuel.
During around a quarter of a century of reporting she covered many of the area's major news stories for local and national newspapers and television stations. Many of her contacts were also her friends, including the late gipsy prize fighter Bartley Gorman – one of the Uttoxeter characters she so loved to write about – who also died of cancer last year.
Rosemarie was also a talented photographer and loved to take wedding pictures. Her hobbies included racing and antiques. She was a familiar figure with her red hair at Uttoxeter Racecourse, where she was on first-name terms with the jockeys and owners. Among her famous acquaintances was Zara Phillips, whom she met on her travels around different racecourses in the Midlands.
Mrs Alcock paid tribute to the courage of her daughter who was told she was terminally ill soon after being diagnosed with cancer in October.
She said: "They gave her six to nine months to live. She was very brave. She coped very well, better than any of us.
"I was very proud of her. She was good at her job. She worked very hard and rarely took a holiday. I will miss her terribly.
"She loved the job. She said she liked people with a character. She loved getting stories about characters.
"I don't know where she got her brains from. No one else in the family was a journalist. She had a very exciting, full life. She could talk well to people from all backgrounds and she loved her son." The reporter met her Moroccan husband on holiday in his native country.
They were married 10 years ago at Burton Register Office and had a reception at Uttoxeter Racecourse. She survived to see their anniversary in January and her son's sixth birthday a month later.
She was determined to enjoy one last holiday to Sardinia in November with her family. After her return she became too ill to work at the Post and Times, where she was employed part-time, having given up freelancing.
Claire Shanahan, Burton Mail

Monthly Traffic in Cloud Website Hosting
We've selected the characteristics of our cloud website hosting packagesin a way, to facilitate the success of any site hosted on our state-of-the-art cloud platform. The traffic that your account can generate is not an exception, therefore with a website hosting package from our company, you won't have to worry about the amount of content being transferred to and from your account at any moment. You will be able to host a number of small and medium-sized websites and be sure that your monthly traffic allowance will not be a problem for their development. Furthermore, we provide in-depth hourly, daily and monthly stats which will give you additional details for the site traffic that a particular site produces or which page/file is being downloaded the most and produces most of the traffic. This kind of info will help you plan the management of your web sites along with your marketing techniques more efficiently.
Monthly Traffic in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server packages are quite powerful so you can manage various sites from just a single account. The monthly website traffic characteristic matches that power, so what you will have is a website hosting account with truly unrestricted information transfer. For this reason, your web sites can grow as much as it is possible with this kind of website hosting and you can get as many website visitors as you want. For more efficient web site and account administration, you will be able to check out the amount of site traffic each of your web sites produces, however we won't place a restriction. To save you time, you will be able to view monthly, daily and hourly figures along with the individual pages that are visited most often, and the most downloaded files. When you use our semi-dedicated hosting plans, you'll never worry about reaching any type of traffic restriction so that you are able to focus on developing your sites and getting more visitors.
Monthly Traffic in VPS Web Hosting
The monthly traffic quota for our Linux VPS web hosting packages is proportionate to the other server's system resources. When you aquire a more powerful server, it's likely that you will host a very popular web site or even a variety of websites, so there will be a lot more site visitors. Because of this, the greater plan you order, the greater monthly site traffic quota you will have. We'll notify you as soon as you reach 90% of the amount, so that you will have enough time to take action and either update the plan or optimize your sites and lessen the traffic that they generate until the counter resets the next month. If you decide to update, this can be done via your billing Control Panel and with only a couple of mouse-clicks. You will also be able to keep track of the amount of site traffic your server has already generated and what amount is left before you reach the monthly restriction. This info will be accessible in the VPS management panel where you can also reboot your server and check the employment of all the other resources such as hard disk space, CPU load or physical memory usage.
Monthly Traffic in Dedicated Servers Hosting
The Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that we provide include large site traffic allowances which are sufficient for almost any website, even a video streaming portal or a preferred social network. Terabytes of site traffic will be available to you each month and the management panel that is included with each dedicated server will give you data how much info has been transferred already and how much is left for the present month. To avoid service interruptions, we'll notify you when you reach 90% of your allowance and you're able to either decrease the site traffic generated by your websites by optimizing their content, or you'll be able to increase the quota for your account. It is highly unlikely that you'll ever need such an improvement, yet we decided to leave this option open. The statistics in that panel include the overall site traffic, compared to the info from your hosting Control Panel where you can find only the traffic from web sites, but not from server-side software downloads & updates.


text: A bruise, also called a contusion, is a type of relatively minor hematoma of tissue in which capillaries and sometimes venules are damaged by trauma, allowing blood to seep into the surrounding interstitial tissues. Bruises can involve capillaries at the level of skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, or bone. A bruise may be named by the length of its diameter as an petechia (less than 3 mm), purpura (3 mm to 1 cm) or ecchymosis (1 to 3 cm), although these terms can also refer to internal bleeding not caused by trauma.

When your students beg you to write
and leave the classroom talking about writing…
When they email you at night to brag about their plot,
and participate in online forums with other young writers
(which is not a part of their grade)—
When parents say to you, "he won't stop writing"
and you overhear "sometimes you just gotta kill a character to make it good"
and "who told her that the bell rang?
Who ruined it for the rest of us?"
When students who have struggled to write a paragraph spin plot,
and other teachers ask you what you're doing,
because your students won't (can't?) stop talking—
When students tell you their characters were in their dreams…
You know you hit on something powerful
The NaNoWriMo Young Writers Program is going along fabulously in my classroom and I am so happy I decided to give up control over my writing lessons this month to actually let students write what they want.
Next month, when we start revising and editing and shaping their wild ideas? I might regret this. But right now, my classroom is full of wild wonder. It is such a contrast to the testing-numbers-ranking-filing that we are expected to do. When the computers come out and the tap-tap-rapping starts, a weight is lifted, and the room is filled with an eager, excited energy.
I went into teaching for this.

Newschoolers' Review:
The Line Magnum Opus is an (almost) versatile superfat ski. So who actually needs such a thing? Well jibby skiers who live somewhere it snows a fuckload couldn't do much better. Less than super-gifted pow skiers who want to land switch and surf in fresh snow and need some help (AKA me) are going to love them too. If you want a chargy pow ski, look elsewhere but if you do want to ski fast occasionally these won't try to kill you. If you want a versatile ski, you're almost certainly better off scaling down the waist width, very few people (including myself) actually need a 124mm ski. But if you want a superfat ski, and I can see the appeal because they are seriously fun, these are a damn good shout. I had an absolute blast skiing them, which at the end of the day is what matters. - Twig

"Greek Fire and its Contribution to Byzantine Might" is now available in paperback!
At last "Greek Fire and its Contribution to Byzantine Might", the short guide to the terrifying Byzantine weapon, written by byzantinologist Konstantinos Karatolios, a book that succeeded into conquering no2 in Amazon ranking, depending on sales at this site, is now available in paperback too. Of course the book is still also available in e-book format. You can read a synopsis of the book below.
The wonder of the thousand-year Byzantine Empire could not have been achieved without its armed forces, allowing it to maintain its power in the face of constant challenges from external enemies that differed significantly in their nature. In this context, what had been inherited from the Romans was just as important as the adoption of new weapons and tactics in battle.
"Greek fire", if not the most important of these weapons, was certainly the one that achieved the greatest fame. It was used throughout the course of the Byzantine Empire and granted resounding victories to its navy. This terrifying weapon was legendary, yet almost all we know about it and its use is clouded by the vagueness of contemporary accounts.
In this work Konstantinos Karatolios attempts to answer a number of questions concerning Greek Fire : What was the formula? How effective was it? Who was its true inventor ? How was it used in battles on land and at sea? This book aims not only to provide an overview of the current state of research that can be easily read by non-specialists , but also to make is own contribution to the study of the subject, respecting academic research methods.
Paperback e- book

A few weeks ago, I took the kids up to our favorite apple picking orchard - Beardsley Cider Mill and Apple Orchard - hurrying to get there before the orchards closed at 5:00 p.m.
When we got there, we discovered that I hadn't read the website closely enough. The store is open daily until 5:30, but the apple orchards are only open on the weekends.
So we had a good laugh, and spent our time in the store drinking fresh hot cider, buying apple cider doughnuts, apple pies and more.
Since we came to pick apples, we each chose a peck of apples from the store's display bushels filled with apples the owners had previously picked.
Four pecks a bushel makes, or so I believe. We were all ready to begin the annual ritual of making apple butter.
I washed the apples;
Sliced them in quarters;
Put them in some very huge pots to cook;
Soon all the apples were cooked. The house smelled heavenly.
A bushel of cooked apples was passed little by little through the Foley food mill.
And four pots of applesauce were set to boil for hours and hours (actually days). I cook them over medium heat stirring every five minutes - so this is a slow laborious process.
Then I added the rest of the ingredients from the recipe and the spices that turn the applesauce into apple butter: cinnamon, allspice, and cloves. Now the house really smelled delicious.
Now each pot was a golden brown. It was just a matter of cooking down the spiced applesauce until it was thick and rich.
Finally, after a few days of cooking and stirring and stirring and cooking, the apple butter was complete. I cleaned and sterilized the Mason jars, filled each one with apple butter, and sealed them tight in boiling water according to the canning instructions. I had such a bounty that this year I'll have more than enough apple butter to last the season.
The best part of all? Primogeniture actually tried and liked apple butter for the very first time. Secundogeniture and I have been fans for a long time. Now we've brought one more into the fold. Life is good. We love to eat it on fresh baked bread, English muffins, heck, just about anything!

While hiking the Connecticut's Appalachian Trail this weekend, I was caught up in the beauty of the surroundings and the rugged terrain. In the middle of nowhere, often high up in the mountains, we found solitary stone walls. If you've ever been to Connecticut, you know that we grow stones like other states grow crops. In fact, our stones are often referred to as Connecticut potatoes. They just keep coming up out of the ground.
Here's a sheer rock wall, looking from the the bottom going straight up. But this isn't exactly the type of stone wall I'm talking about.
These stone walls are everywhere.
Some were low by the Housatonic River. Some were high in the hills.
The one unifying characteristic is that they were made from big heavy rocks with no apparent signs of ownership - current or former - in sight.
And the stone walls are here, and there, and everywhere.
Who built these stone walls? When were they built?
Yes, the cairns are recent, but the stone walls are likely more than 200 years old.
If these stones could talk... the stories they would tell.

This weekend we went backpacking on the Appalachian Trail - or AT for those in the know.
If you're not a backpacker, please think about going for a 12 mile hike... and now think about going for that same 12 mile hike with a 40-lb pack strapped to your back. Now think about that same hike - and think about climbing up to 1,200 feet with that same 40-lb pack on your back.
We hiked from Kent, CT to the Cornwall Bridge - up in the mountains with the beautiful fall foliage just beginning to change -
and along the Housatonic River.
We camped two nights at the AT marked campsite along the trail. I changed from my SmartWool hiking socks to my handknit sleeping socks.
And even with a temperature range of 49-65 degrees, I wore shorts the whole weekend.
Of course I brought some knitting. In fact, in my endeavor to help my sister and go through my yarn stash, I found some wonderful sock yarn called Birch that was a gift many moons ago. I brought it along as I thought it was the perfect sock yarn for the AT.
Oh, you probably can't see it in that picture since it's so well camouflaged against the birch tree.
Finally, this morning around 12:30 we left the AT and took the descent trail down to Cornwall Bridge - with the final section alongside the road.
It was a very successful weekend and we all had a blast.
Next year, I think I'll hit the treadmill a month solid before the trek - and program some very steep inclines into the workout. Oh, and I should probably strap on that 40-lb backpack for the dress rehearsal.
How about you? What did you do this weekend?

I knit up my first three mice for Christine's charity project.
I used leftover Paton's Classic Wool Merino (NO SUPERWASH WOOL!) as I have tons leftover from my felted bag days in 2004-2005.
If you're going to make some cat nip mice for the cats in your life, Christine offered her finishing tips:
I put the catnip in a piece of pantyhose so it is contained and to be honest I have not measured it. I use some poly stuffing in the nose and put the catnip mostly in the back end of the mouse. Before I felt, I do french knots for eyes, sew on a few stitches for the little pink nose and thread through some whiskers (after felting). Sew up the bottom and you are good to go.
There you have it. Are you already knitting some cat nip mice?

If you were to poll my family and close friends, they would all tell you that I like to help others. I always have. It's a big part of who I am. In fact, yesterday at a very sad funeral, BF, MIL and I were talking about what's on our bucket lists. Of course, I have some of the traditional items - travel; watch my kids grow to be happy and successful in life; grandchildren, and retirement somewhere fun with BF - but high on my list is to help others in a permanent meaningful way. I might have to win the lottery to fulfill that wish! But I do like to help people. So it was easy when Christine sent me a pattern in the mail with a plea to help her knit some Catnip Mice
Christine sent me these cute pictures of last year's mice.
She asks that her friends each knit 3 mice in worsted wool (Lamb's pride, Cascade 220, Classic Wool Merino) and send them to her.
She'll embellish, felt, stuff, sew, and add eyes and whiskers.
Once they're done, she sells them to collect donations for her two favorite cat charities. It's part of her annual cat food drive for the kitties she loves so dearly.
If you'd like to help, click on the pattern HERE - Download Catnip Mouse Pattern PDF
Here's the plea from Christine
Many of you know that for several years I have been donating both time and resources to The Stratford Cat Project (SCP) www.stratfordcatproject.org and FeralCare Inc. www.feralcare.com. In addition to holding my annual holiday cat food drive, I would like to donate all the money from the sale of hand knit catnip mice to these very worthy organizations. All money will go directly to help the 81 cats currently housed by SCP and the monthly low cost spay/neuter clinics run by FeralCare. Last year, I sold 57 mice to my colleagues at the high school, earning $285.00 for the organizations. The mice are so popular that after they sold out, I had to feverishly make more before holiday vacation!
I am asking if each one of you would knit at least three catnip mice with the enclosed pattern. It does not take very much yarn (about 20 yards) and is a good use of some scrap yarn that you may have. The only requirement is that it be 100% wool so it can be felted. I will take care of the felting, stuffing with catnip, sewing and embellishing with eyes, nose and whiskers. I just need the mouse "bodies" knitted. If you need yarn, please ask me; I have plenty to spare.
If you choose to contribute your time and talent, please have the mouse "bodies" to me by Thursday, December 1st. I really appreciate your help with this. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thanks again for sharing your gift with some loving and deserving felines.
What a great project! You get to use up your odds and ends of leftover 100% wool and help kitties at the same time. What could be better? And because we like Christine so much and respect anyone who knits to raise money for their favorite cause... Wilma is going to put your name in the raffle for some yarn (and other goodies for every 3 mice you knit and get to Major Knitter before December 1st. (Comment or email me for mailing info). Plus - for everyone who donates mice, I'll donate some cat food in your name.
I hope you'll be able to help with Christine's cause. Meow!

Thank you all for your generous support of my yarn sale to support my sister. I really can't thank you enough for all your generosity. It means so much to me.
But I thought I should give you an update. Ellen went to the local Menard's and looked at carpet (as all the carpet in the house has been removed due to the flooding). She was suffering some pretty major sticker shock when she got the estimate.
Won't she be surprised when she gets the check in the mail today?! Everything that's been received to date has already been sent to her. And there's still more coming in.
Did I mention that I have the best knitting buddies ever?

Voices were heard during the SSTV transmissions.
Was someone nearby trying to call on the downlink?
I had a black band across one of my, poor quality, downloads this time. It was caused by what sounded like someone trying to tune up on the frequency.
M0NLP Colin
Hi Colin
That's a shame about your poor quality guess it might be down to location.
The voices were similar to what was heard when testing their cubesats inside the ISS some time ago but shorter.
Patrick WD9EWK has just posted this in reply on this site:
Some tweets earlier mentioned that the voices were identifying (in Russian) where the ISS was passing over. One example over North America today had the voice announce that the ISS was over the Canadian province of Ontario. (Glenn AA5PK mentioned that, and he understands that language).
73 G7HCE David
Didn't notice the voices on the pictures I downloaded David, however I did not have the volume very high. It is definitely some form of auto voice though as they are exactly 30 seconds apart and sound very similar.
I will crank the volume up if there is another pass.
Hi Colin
I have NOT heard any voices on today's SSTV transmissions. There is some tweets about it on John's twitter page from yesterday:

this year, i have managed to produce a very decent cordial from elderflowers. i found the elderberry bushes tucked away in the woods behind my house. three shrubs, growing inconspicously as part of a patch of underbrush. when i discovered them last year, i felt elated at the chance to continue this beloved early summer routine in my new home. in that same month, always more the visionary than the practical gardener, i also planted an elderberry sapling at the corner of the backyard that i had bought from the native plant society. the tiny bush grew extensively this spring, more than tripling in size, but blossoming might take another year.
with bottles full of sweetly scented sirup fillig up the fridge, i decided to finally give this recipe a try. intrigued by its decidedly sophisticated combination of flavors, it had hovered in the back of my brain for quite a bit. at the same time, i tested millet flour in some of my sourdough breads and i was smitten by the tender crumb and the attractive yellow color it added to the baked goods.
the elderflour cordial infused cream roll will definitely spiral you into culinary summertime. the fine texture of the millet flour adds a sunny tone to the soft and airy sponge cake, flavoring it with a distict nutty note. before filling the roll, soak the sponge with some of the cordial, adding more scented and juicy moisture to the fine, graceful taste of the yogurt and cream filling.
cream roll with millet flour
ingredients for the sponge cakedough:
4 eggs, separated
a pinch of salt
25 g confectionary/powdered sugar
75 g granulated sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
75 g millet flour
½ baking powder
tea towel and some granulated sugar (3-4 tablespoons for rolling up the cakes base)
ingredients for the filling:
200 g whole milk greek yogurt
50 g granulated sugar
1/2 envelope gelatin
200 g whipping cream
about 100 ml of eldeberry cordial
two handful of chopped pistachios
cover baking sheet (ca. 9×14 inches, 24×40 cm) with parchment paper and preheat oven to 375°f.
with the whisk of an electric handmixer or a stand mixer beat egg whites until soft peaks form. add a pinch of salt and the confectionary sugar and beat until stiff and glossy. in another bowl beat egg yolks and granulated sugar until white and creamy. add vanilla extract. spoon egg whites over the egg yolk mixture, sift in millet flour and baking powder fold into batter with a spatula. do not overmix. it is ok to still see lumps of egg whites and some flour.
pour batter onto baking sheet and spread out evenly. bake for about 10 – 12 minutes until golden brown. sprinkle a tea towel with granulated sugar. turn baked dough upside down onto the tea towel. gently pull off the parchment paper. starting at the long side and using the towel for support, gently roll cake base into a log.
while dough is cooling, prepare the filling. stir sugar into yogurt. Following the directions on the package, soak gelatin in two or three tablespoons of elderflower syrup. In a small sauce pan, gently heat up the soaked gelatin, adding another two or three table spoons of elderflower cordial. Once the gelatin is entirely dissolved, stir in two or three tablespoons of the yogurt-sugar mix to keep the gelatin from forming lumps. pour gelatin mix into yogurt-sugar mix and stir well. refrigerate yogurt-gelatine mix. once it starts to settle, whip up 200 g of whipping cream until soft peaks form. to avoid lumos, stir yogurt-gelatine mix before adding the cream. fold cream gently into yogurts untl incorporated, chill filling in the refrigerator.
carefully unroll the cool dough with the tea towel. sprinkle sponge cake with some more of the elderflower syrup, spread cream mixture onto dough. sprinkle filling with the chopped pistachios. save some for decoration. with the help of the tea towel, roll sponge cake and filling into a log. with the seam on the bottom, carefully transfer roll onto a serving platter, sprinkle with confectionary sugar and decorate to your liking. chill in the refrigerator until serving.
here, the backyard sparkles with fire flies dancing in the blue hours of the dusk. with elderflower cordial on ice, infused with fresh mint from the side of the house, i am watching the fan lazily stirring the warm summer air. from where i sit, i can see the top leaves of the elderberry bush shimmering through in the dim light. next year, thinks the ever hopeful visionary, next year, it will be the time.

"Bachelor" Jake Pavelka may be loyal, but after one episode it doesn't look like he's very committed to shirts.
"The cameras are around 24 hours a day. I'm just myself, a lot of what you see shirtless is me working out," said Pavelka. "I didn't go into a rose ceremony with my shirt off."
The show takes an unusual turn Monday night. For the first time ever, a bachelorette was asked to leave during taping. It was discovered she was having an "inappropriate relationship" with a producer on the show.
"It was the right thing to do. She was ejected from the show, and so was the staff member," said Pavelka.
But, in the end, will Jake have a wedding of his own? He would only tell me he stayed true to his heart.
"On the show, you don't have to choose anybody," said Pavelka. "And the most important thing is after the show is over, you have to live with the decision you make so you have to stay true to your heart. You have to make really good, wise decisions."
You can watch "The Bachelor" on Monday at 8 p.m., on ABC7.

Jerome Park Racetrack in the Bronx was opened by Leonard W. Jerome in 1867 with the inaugural Belmont Stakes, the oldest of the three Triple Crown events and fourth oldest race overall North America, which were run till the park was closed in 1890. For attracting wealthy New Yorkers L. W. Jerome also built what today became Jerome Avenue. Here then from the park's second season

and with the resulting confusion among jockeys and horses on one hand and on the other hand the anger of the spectators, additionally engaged by betting,
the only rarely depicted situation of the false start .
Just as then, too, with his three later Jerome Park prints – Sadling, The Race + Returning to Weigh – from 1869-70 Kelly returned both thematically and compositionally to the general conventional pattern of racing prints. And so then, too, only the present one with the local-historically characteristic

Roasted Balsamic Tomatoes Recipe
Roasted Balsamic Tomatoes Recipe
Roasted Balsamic Tomatoes Recipe Directions
Preheat the oven to 180C fan, 400F, Gas Mark 6 and place an oven-proof sauté pan in to warm.
Place the peeled garlic clove and 1/8 tsp of sea (kosher) salt into a pestle and mortar, if you have one. Grind these together to form a paste. If you don't have a pestle and mortar, pop the garlic clove and salt onto a chopping board and simply use the flat side of a kitchen knife to work together into a paste and then transfer to a small bowl. Add the vinegar, dried herbs and black pepper and whisk together.
Cut the tomatoes in half. Remove the sauté pan from the oven and place the tomatoes in the pan, cut side up. Spoon over the vinaigrette dressing and place a basil leaf on top. Return the pan to the oven and cook for 15-20 mins until the tomatoes are softened. These can be served hot, warm or at room temperature.

2016 was a great year for movies & one of my favorites was the excellent sophomore effort from the young Damien Chazelle. Whiplash was 1 of my favorites the year it came out but it being told based off Chazelle's personal experience was what made it so engaging & fantastic. With La La Land Chazelle was looking to bring back the dance/musical format that has long passed us by but that many look back to with repeated viewings of the classics. This…

An early David Fincher gem that had a string of copycats, (literally Copycat), that followed the same dark crime noir. Pitt who had the early misfortune of being easy on the eyes, began to smartly buck the trend, by cutting off his famous golden locks & choosing harder, gritty roles. He's rarely been better than Detective David Mills & the always dependable Morgan Freeman is the perfect yen to Pitt's hothead Mills' yang. The premise follows a series of murders that seem…
