Assessing the Sabres' approach to the trade deadline
The NHL Trade Deadline is nearly one month away, coming at you on Monday, February 25 at 3 p.m. EST.
In the past, the deadline has proven to be a turning point for some teams trying to make a deep run for a Stanley Cup come spring time. If a team plays its cards right, they can gain an asset or two to help add to the depth of the roster or upgrade at a position of need. Most of these acquisitions are rental players, with those assets likely to head to unrestricted free agency once the new league year begins on July 1.
However, more teams are starting to make trades to shake things up for the long-term plans, even if the player acquired is on an expiring contract or has a year or two left on their current deal. For example, the Tampa Bay Lightning acquired defenseman Ryan McDonagh from the New York Rangers at the deadline last year in a blockbuster deal with one-year remaining on his contract. This offseason, the Lightning went on to sign McDonagh to a big contract extension that will kick in at the start of the 2019-2020 season.
This season is the first season in a long while that the Buffalo Sabres are sitting in playoff contention as the league is about to head into the All-Star break. As of right now, the Sabres currently sit with a 24-18-6 record in 48 games and 54 points in the standings. That currently placed the Sabres on the outside looking in of the Eastern Conference Wild Card picture, just four points back of the Pittsburgh Penguins and five points back of the Boston Bruins.
Looking at the Atlantic Division, the Sabres currently trail the Montreal Canadiens by seven points for third place in the division. Ahead of the Canadiens sit the Toronto Maple Leafs, who are currently eight points ahead of the Sabres in second place. Then in first place there is the Lightning, who currently have a 22-point advantage on the Sabres and are running away from the pack.
The Carolina Hurricanes have also joined the party with the Sabres in the playoff race, sitting in a tie at 54 points in the standings. However, the Sabres have two games in-hand on the Hurricanes as they head into the All-Star Break.
With Buffalo in their current position and with the team taking a turn in the right direction this year, some could say that the Sabres should look to buy at the trade deadline to increase their chances of making the playoffs or adding that piece that can be a solution in the long-term plans.
Looking at their draft assets, the Sabres currently have the possibility of selecting with eight picks in the 2019 NHL Draft. The big draw for the Sabres is the three potential first round picks the team holds on to with their own first round pick, the St. Louis Blues' first round pick, and the San Jose Sharks' first pick.
The Sabres acquired the the Blues' first round pick back on July 1 when they traded Ryan O'Reilly to St. Louis. That deal also saw Tage Thompson, Vladimir Sobotka, Patrik Berglund and a 2021 second round pick come back to Buffalo. However, the 2019 first round pick is lottery protected, meaning that it can become a 2020 first round pick if the Blues end up with a top-10 pick in the 2019 NHL Draft. The Blues do have the right to choose whether or not they will keep the 2019 pick. If they choose to hold on to the pick, the 2020 pick will go to the Sabres no matter what.
Right now, the Blues sit in 25th in the league standings with a 21-22-5 record and 47 points through 48 games played. That currently gives them the seventh overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft.
As for the Sharks' first round pick, the Sabres acquired that as part of the Evander Kane trade at last year's trade deadline on February 26, 2018. That deal also had the Sabres acquiring a conditional fourth round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft and prospect Danny O'Regan.
The pick officially became a first round selection when the Sharks re-signed Kane on May 24, fulfilling the first condition of the February trade. As for the second condition of the deal, the pick will remain a 2019 first round pick if the Sharks clinch a playoff berth in the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs. However, if the Sharks fall out of playoff contention and miss, then the Sharks will give the Sabres their first round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft.
If the Sharks miss the playoffs this season, their 2019 first round pick would go to the Ottawa Senators as part of the Erik Karlsson trade back on September 13. Ottawa would get the 2020 first round pick if San Jose does make the playoffs so either way, the Sharks will end up not having a first round pick for the next two seasons.
With these three picks, could the Sabres trade one or two of them in order to bring in an asset to help them now and in the future?
After some clarification from our own Paul Hamilton and the folks at CapFriendly.com, the Sabres are allowed to trade the picks despite the fact that there are still inflight conditions still hanging over them. However, the Sabres would still have to abide and respect those same conditions of the original trade.
The Sabres can also add additional conditions to a trade on top of those if they wanted, but the original conditions need to transfer over.
We know that the Sabres currently have a top line that consists of Jeff Skinner, Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart that can score and produce offensively on a consistent basis. However, the Sabres are in desperate need of some secondary scoring, as well as a suitable second line center behind Eichel. Casey Mittelstadt is currently the long-term plan to eventually play that role, but the 20-year-old has struggled, at times, to fill that spot in his rookie season.
It's important to note that this Sabres team is probably not a group that is going to contend for the Stanley Cup in 2019. Never say never, but the team is not quite competitive enough yet to the point where they could make a deep run this season. With that being said, it would be a colossal mistake to trade one of their first round picks or any top prospects for an asset that would only help you for the rest of the 2018-19 season, or that would not be part of the long-term solution in Buffalo.
However, if the Sabres continue to slide in the standings and fall further out of the standings, general manager Jason Botterill could potentially look to sell off a piece or two for some potential future assets.
The biggest name the Sabres have with an expiring contract is Skinner, who is on pace to have a career-year playing in his first season in Buffalo. Through the first 48 games of the season, Skinner has scored 30 goals and 44 points, which is a current pace of 51 goals and 75 points in 82 games. Skinner's career-high for goals in a season is 37, which was set two years ago while he was still with the Hurricanes.
Multiple reports have indicated that Skinner and his representatives are getting set to talk about a potential contract extension with Botterill and the Sabres at some point in the next week or so. It is also speculated that Skinner really enjoys Buffalo and wants to stay with the Sabres and get a deal done.
Let's hypothetically say that things go south in negotiations before the trade deadline and all talks fall apart. Do the Sabres still hold on to Skinner, or does Botterill pull the trigger and trade him to maximize his assets and get back a, potentially, good return from another team? What could Skinner even garner on the trade market if he is available?
At this point, a Skinner trade at any point seems highly unlikely. Botterill's intentions should be to ride out the season with Skinner in Buffalo and try to get a new deal done for the long-term.
Another name that could certainly be moved by the Sabres is defenseman Nathan Beaulieu. The 26-year-old has already made it clear that he wants more playing time in Buffalo, or else he'd like Botterill to explore the option of trading him. Beaulieu is in a contract year with the Sabres, so it is understandable why he wants to be on the ice. He's playing for a job at the NHL level next season, whether that's in Buffalo or elsewhere. This season, Beaulieu has scored three goals and registered seven points in 26 games as the Sabres' sixth or seventh defenseman.
Other players that are on expiring contracts for the Sabres are Jason Pominville (UFA), Zemgus Girgensons (RFA), Johan Larsson (RFA), Remi Elie (RFA), Evan Rodrigues (RFA), and Jake McCabe (RFA).
The most likely scenario for the Sabres at this year's trade deadline is that the team stands pat and doesn't make an impact move at all. It's more likely that Botterill will try to ride out the season and continue with his evaluations of the roster as the team tries to fight its way back into a playoff spot. While that may not sound like a lot of fun for trade deadline day, it may be the smartest approach for this group.
Once the season is over, then it's up to Botterill and the rest of the organization to determine what went right and what went wrong for the group and go from there.
If there is one thing that should be a goal for the Sabres to try and get done by the deadline is to get Skinner signed to a long-term contract. Other than that, it's ok to continue to stay the course.

I love this charger! I have full functionality with my s6 with the charger attached. Also, the thing works flawlessly and charges my phone very quickly, from 6% to full in an hour and 20 minutes. I love that I can charge both the phone and the charger when it is attached to my phone. I am going to order a second one!
Charges at a nice rate. Adds weight but it's manageable.
I love it! It is slim just as described and very sleek. Although, I haven't dropped my phone and so cannot comment on how shock resistant it is. I can however say that I feel pretty confident that my phone is well protected. I love having the extended battery whenever, wherever needed as it is super easy to charge the case and my phone. It is heavier than I anticipated but its weight does not seem to pose a problem.
I purchased a white press and play for my s6 edge. I love it, it is the only product that acts like the mophie juice pack. You can charge your case and phone at the same time. It charges pretty fast too
A little heavy but works really well and charges quickly
Great back up for a long trip, it'll give you 100% charge.
I love it. It works perfectly and I can charge both at the same time. Never run out of battery anymore!
Charges me all the way up from 2% to 100% in less than 2 hours. I love it! I hope that it is a long lasting product!
It's a little on the heavy side and the power button is easily accessible.
This is a piece of junk. The micro USB doesn't fit into my phone, so it's absolutely worthless.
Not recommended for s6 edge even though groupon's advertises it's for both. My s6 edge does NOT fit. Returning. Actual package does not mention s6 edge. Very frustrating!!!! Planning to return
Case fit is perfect, and works well with my S6 edge, surprisingly well made… It does add a bit of weight and thickness, but that's the normal trade off with every battery case…
Very durable and sleek. Charges fast and has a long charge life.
So far so good!!! The battery pack has an extensive back up life. It is the first day but I am pleased. Thanks!!!
This worked for about a month. Probably 6 uses. It charged up then stopped charging my phone. I'm not happy about that.battery pack runs very hot while charging your phone. I don't suggest using it while it's charging your phone.
great buy and you should charge case before charging your phone
I like the case however it doesn't fit the Samsung edge like it says it does. It fits but not fully the phone still has space around the edges and therefore it doesn't grip the phone as tight to keep it from coming out of the case when you drop it.
Great product & life saver for someone on the go like myself.
It was for the wrong model ! I need to return and get the s6 + !
Works great don't have to charge my phone every 2 hours like I used to
Has been working great so far. Came almost fully charged so that was a plus. It is a bit heavy but, if I don't have to deal with a dead phone or a place to charge phone when out, well worth it.
Cade fits great doesn't add much bulk and I still have 100 percent battery at the end of the day. I used to have to charge my phone once or twice a day
This does a great job of extending my battery life. One of my best buys.
No way 7 hrs talk time. Where is headphone jack adapter? Press Play Specs say it is included. It was not. Case useless without it. Do not buy this if you process C/C payments on your phone! No way to contact PressPlayStore to rectify
Great product! No more having to worry about my battery dying.
Worked fine for first few weeks. Now when I push the button to charge it turns itself off randomly and I have to press the button again. I used to be able to get almost 80% more battery, now I'm down to roughly 30% I took the case off because it's not worth using it anymore
worked great at first but now takes forever to charge and battery dies quick..still aa good buy though
Seems to work as described. Cheaper on Groupon than Amazon .
Seems to cut down on my phone reception. People keep telling me I am "cutting out".nCase is hard to put on. MOSTLY, it doesn't give me the battery charge it is supposed to.nI will return it.
didn't work because the ad didn't specify what size of the edge it fits. I have the edge plus which is wider. didn't work
This is exactly what I expected. Not too bulky and a great battery life.
Easy to use, doesn't make phone look bulky and Maintains a charge for up to 12 hrs. I would definitely recommend this device!
It charges fairly quick but it makes the device a bit hot to the touch while charging.
Advertisement stated that it was compatible with the S7 Edge and it was too small.
Bought this case as a gift for my dad. I put his phone in the case and tried the side buttons but it is like the phone is not lined up with the volume buttons. It will not volume up only down. And the battery shows fully charged but will. It charge the phone. The case looks really good, but you can't use it for what it was intended. Would like to see if it is just a bad case
I got this for my husband for Christmas. He loves it!
good product, but it makes the phone so much heavier
Was not what I anticipated. returned it.
it's great works perfectly
Doesn't fit the phone. It was too small. I literally threw my money away.
i love it!
Love it. The gold gives the phone a hint of color
Works well so far… makes phone easier to hold
It fits great and charges fast!
Good quality, bought for my 15 year old dgtr.
I love it! Easy to use and hold a long charge.
Returning to small for my Samsung j7
after I charged it and placed my phone in the case my phone battery never charged any differently without it and it is very heavy
Its working fine!
Life saver
It creates MAJOR bulk and weight to a very slim and light phone.
It worked great for a couple of days, then the charge stopped. I realized you have to use the cable it came with to work effificently.

Sunday, 16 May 2010
This weekend has been the best of what has already been a pretty damn good year. It's hard to pick which bit made it that. It's hard to explain how it started with a low low moment that involved not wanting to walk this Earth anymore. That passed. I had some alcohol and didn't do anything ridiculous. No mania. I went shopping for hours with my sister and friends then a night of dancing with 18 year old girls who were in their mother's tummy the last time I went clubbing in Darwin.
It wasn't a few days about that man I was once married to or any other man. It was just normal and fun. Reminded me of the last few months in Canberra before Sydney when life had a perfect pace and anything was possible.
I'm not 29 anymore but I don't want to be. I'm 33 years old and feel more fabulous than I ever have. Sure, I'm a crazy bitch on the best of days but that's ok. I don't think I ever was completely sane so going for that would be a waste of the awesome that is me.
Ahhh, I shall have a good week of work and then head down to see my Melbourne and Sydney crew. The other geek girl I work with, Jess will be there in Melbourne so you all have to meet her. She is one of the wonderful friends I've made up here.
Life can be anything. I can do it all.

The Magnificent Tati
From DocuWiki
[edit] General Information
Arts Documentary published by BSkyB in 2009 - English narration
[edit] Cover
[edit] Information
THE MAGNIFICENT TATI, 2009, 60 min. Dir. Michael House.
Interesting documentary on Jacques Tati's life and career, including interviews with historians, biographers, his personal assistant and admirers such as Sylvain Chomet and Frank Black from "Pixies" (who, lest anyone doubted his affinity for the man's work, closes out the documentary with his song "Do The Jacques Tati"). Also examined are Tati's use of sound, his ingenious set-designs for Playtime and his forethought with regards to the international market for his work.
Jacques Tati's magnificent cinema is the subject of Paris-based American filmmaker Michael House's fine new documentary, the first film in English to explore the life and work of the legendary French director. The film traces the ups and downs of Tati's remarkable career: his origins as a mime on the musical-hall stages of Paris; his rise to international success as the maker of the Oscar-winning Mon Oncle and other celebrated films; his fall from grace after the commercial failure of Playtime, the ambitious, massively expensive production — still considered by many to be Tati's greatest achievement — that bankrupted him and effectively derailed his career; and the post-Playtime projects, Traffic and Parade, that were Tati's swansongs. The wealth of archival material includes clips from Tati's films and excerpts from television appearances. The eclectic interview subjects include individuals who worked with Tati plus a variety of admirers, including alt-rocker Frank Black, Thumbsucker director Mike Mills, Tati scholar David Bellos (author of Jacques Tati: His Life and Work), and The Triplets of Belleville animator Sylvain Chomet, whose latest project, The Illusionist, is based on an unrealized script by Tati.
A director with a simultaneously delightful and critical view of the 20th century bourgeoisie, Jacques Tati is among the most beloved of French filmmakers. Tati's films are a blend of physical comedy reminiscent of silent-era slapstick, riotous sight gags that incorporate hopelessly new-fangled technology, and hilarious send-ups of modern living - not to mention the presence of the lovable, bumbling hero, Mr. Hulot, who graces most of Tati's films with his charming social ineptitude. From such classics as M. HULOT'S HOLIDAY to PLAYTIME to the seldom-screened PARADE, Tati proves over and over again that he is a master of capturing the playful disconnect between humans and their surroundings.
The film is a mixture of English and French (mostly English), with the French passages accompanied by burned-in subtitles.
Reviews from IMDB :
- Don't miss this truly wonderful film. Tells Jacques Tati story in a way that makes you laugh (a lot) and cry (a little) while showing you tasters from every Tati film. Discusses Jacques Tati's avant-garde roots and offers real insight into Tati's unique genius. His courage in pushing the boundaries of cinema is explained and Tati's unique approach to narrative and use of sound is also explored in ways that are very stimulating - clips from a foley studio makes for great viewing. A short sequence on Mimes is very insightful and wonderfully filmed. Some interesting interview footage with Tati's assistant is nothing short of fascinating. Best film on a cinema director I have seen in years. A must for anyone into movies. -
- I love Jacques Tati and was expecting this film to be great... and it was. It packs in all of Tati's films, keeps you laughing and lets you alone with Tati's movies. The interviews are great, however they are not trying to steal the show from the star - Jacques Tati. I think it was wise of the producers to let Tati's films speak for themselves. I also enjoyed seeing that Tati inspires artists beyond Hollywood, cartoon people, rock singers etc. . I think that a good documentary should not try to sell you the subject and this one doesn't at all it merely shows you that Tati's films are very special. I would tell anyone if they want to be entertained for an hour they could do a lot worse than this 'Magnificent' film. –

Fox News site posts falsified Kerry quotes
'Metrosexual's' talk of 'manicures' is later retracted
A story containing false quotes attributed to Sen. John Kerry was posted on Fox News Channel's Web site for hours Friday. The article was pulled Friday afternoon and Fox News apologized.
The story, posted on foxnews.com, included phony quotes from Kerry about his performance in Thursday's debate with President Bush.
An excerpt, found on several Web sites including washingtondispatch.com, included the following inflammatory quotes:
"Didn't my nails and cuticles look great? What a good debate!"
"It's about the Supreme Court. Women should like me! I do manicures."
"I'm metrosexual, he's a cowboy."
The bogus report, filed by Carl Cameron, was retracted Friday afternoon. A post at foxnews.com said "the item was based on a reporter's partial script that had been written in jest" and blamed the error on "fatigue and bad judgment, not malice."
But a Fox insider claimed late Friday that tempers were raging. "The folks here are furious," the source said.

Review by Oliver Spring
At this time of year the buzz around the Adelaide Fringe is almost palpable. As a first time Fringe-goer, I'd be lying if I said the amount of events in the 2016 Guide didn't intimidate me a little. However after careful deliberation I decided to attend the Comedy Gala at The Royalty Theatre. This was also my first professional comedy event.
The line-up remained unannounced, however funny man and radio presenter Merrick Watts was advertised as host of the event boasting the "most sought after ticket of the festival".
The Royalty Theatre was a great venue and although not packed out, played host to a crowd of at least three hundred. My first impression of the show having taken my seat was a mock pink sign on the stage reading "CAUTION: WET FLOOR – COMEDY IN PROGRESS".
Merrick's opening set contained lines revolving around social diversity around SA, and pumped up the crowd with a classic story about eating some dog food by accident.
Adelaide local Mickey D's infectious personality was an instant hit with the crowd, coming on stage in a dress shirt he "borrowed from a friend", denim shorts and hiking boots. His unorthodox routine covered topics such as drugs and alcohol, and finished with a set of hilarious birdcalls.
Flight of the Conchords superstar Arj Barker then took to the stage to thunderous applause. Although short, his performance was brilliant, covering themes such as hotel etiquette and the cleaning of one's toilet.
Pittsburghian Eddie Ifft covered a broad range of themes, including performing to terrorists, the deep south of the US, abortion and mormon religion, all to contagious laughter and praise.
Merrick followed the intermission with another short but very well received set, the audience in stitches at his 'now-and-then' comparison of the Australian playground from the 80's.
TV and radio presenter Nath Valvo stole the show. His lively anecdotes about his own homosexuality, moving back to his parents' house after age 30 and modern family dynamics' obviously ringing true to many audience members.
Tom Gleeson presented a short, down to earth, yet amusing set observing the small things that most of us can relate to, such as service at restaurants, cafés and IKEA.
The last act of the night was Tahir Bilgiç, also known as 'Habib' of Fat Pizza fam. Like most on the night, this was a short but engaging set, including a classic analysis of the colloquial Australian saying "wouldn't touch her with a 10-foot pole".
The lighting and sound were on point, and the audience were polite all night. As I left the event and waited for my ride, I could hear David Bowie's 'Let's Dance' echoing through the streets, and I felt as I watched locals on their way either out or home, a part of a great, authentic festival.
The Adelaide Fringe Comedy Gala proudly supports the Captain Courageous Foundation, an organisation raising money to assist children suffering from bone marrow diseases. They perform one more show tonight at 8:00 PM.
Tickets available from FringeTIX here.

JORJA SMITH AT SOMERSET HOUSE x ATIKA LONDON
Words by Denisa Krasniqi (IG: @looksbydenisa)
Growing up I have always loved music. I've always felt as though music is a way for us to connect with our emotions and feelings without having to portray them through words. For instance Jorja Smith is one of the main artists who I feel I can connect with solemnly by the way she represents her feelings through her music. This I feel comes from her downtempo soulful voice which I completely love.
Jorja Smith is a 21-year-old singer/songwriter from Walsall, West Midlands. She debuted her first single 'Blue Lights' at the beginning of 2016 (which went CRAZY on Soundcloud, loads of artists including Stormzy were praising her). Since then she has released various singles and has been involved in multiple amazing music projects. She released her first official EP, 'Project 11' near the end of 2016 and her debut album 'Lost & Found' June 8th, 2018.
During Jorja's performance I was so mesmerised by the amount of love and energy shown throughout the show by herself and also everyone around her including her lovely friends who came down to perform with her. During Jorjas performance she brought out multiple different artists (who may I say carried out a super SICK performance). Stormzy, who joined in to perform their single 'Lay Me down', Maverick Sabre, who joined in to perform Jorjas song 'Carry Me home' in which he's featured in, and Loyle Carner who also created an amazing atmosphere on the night.
I have watched Jorja perform live multiple times and watching her audience grow extremely quickly has been immense. Being given the chance to watch Jorja perform at Somerset house was incredible. The atmosphere was insane and the loveliest thing about all of this was that although everyone was from different walks of life, we could all connect by the incredible music and amazing vocals of Jorja Smith.

Austrian Airlines has begun a refit of its entire long-haul fleet, including the installation of fully-flat business class seats in a staggered formation, similar to those seen on Swiss and Finnair (see online news December 22, 2009).
The business class layout allows four in five passengers to have direct aisle access on the carrier's B777s, in a 1-2-1/2-2-2 configuration and aisle access for all passengers on the B767s in a 1-2-1 layout. In economy class the layout remains 3-4-3 on the B777 and 2-3-2 on the B767.
The seat reclines in to a fully-flat bed of just under two metres long with retractable armrests which allow the seat width to be increased from 20 to 24 inches. The inflation of the seat cushions can be altered by a set of controls, allowing for a harder or softer bed, depending on preference. There are universal power sockets and USB connectivity in all business class seats.
A new look economy cabin will also be installed, with a seat pitch of 31 inches and the RAVE touch-screen AVOD in-flight entertainment system by IMS will be available in both classes. Screens in business are 15 inches and nine inches in economy.
The conversion of each long-haul aircraft will take around six weeks. The first converted aircraft should take off before the end of this year and conversion of the entire fleet is due to be complete by spring 2013.
Austrian has invested €90m on its new long-haul products and this follows an upgrade to its short-haul product which was completed last year (see online news September 7, 2011).

Heartbreak as newlywed dies days after marrying at New Cross Hospital
A heartbroken husband has paid tribute to his wife after she died of cancer just days after they married in hospital.
Julie Elsmore, aged 48, tied the knot with her partner of six years Tim in a moving ceremony held at New Cross Hospital last week after he had proposed to her in the hospital's A&E department.
Tim, 51, fought through the tears to describe the devastating loss after his wife of three days died following a three month battle with cancer.
Tim, a lorry driver, said: "Julie passed away on Saturday night in hospital.
"Everywhere I turn there are reminders of her. To be taken away at 48 is just so cruel.
"She had a permanent smile and would do anything for anybody.
"I will always remember her smile and the kindness she had for people – she was always happy.
"She never thought ill of anybody and would never say a bad word about anybody.
"What she always used to say was that she was so happy every day was like Christmas Eve to her.
"The six years we had together were amazing, we did so much together – holidays and long weekends.
"I'm just so glad we got married as we could have run out of time. But it is just totally heartbreaking."
The office manager was diagnosed with a brain tumour earlier this year but the cancer spread to her lungs and doctors said her condition was terminal.
Doctors had told Julie she had just weeks to live and the couple decided to marry on Wednesday.
The newlyweds returned home to Hednesford on Thursday.
But Julie was transferred back to hospital after having trouble with her breathing on Saturday – and died that evening.
The couple had known each other since childhood as they grew up on the same road.
Julie was due to celebrate her 49th birthday tomorrow.
Tim said the couple had enjoyed trips abroad – which were Julie's first ventures onto foreign soil.
They had spent time on holiday in Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Tenerife and Portugal.
But a planned trip to Hawaii and the USA this year had to be cancelled. The two has also been looking to buy a house.
Her death came as a shock to Tim and her family, who were told she still had weeks to live when she got married.
Julie's parents Geoff and Pat Rowley said: "She was a wonderful daughter to us and sister to her brother Michael.
"We were very proud to be her parents.
"We would like to thank all the nurses for looking after Julie and as parents would like to thank everyone for their kind messages of sympathy and for telling us what a lovely daughter we had."

The provenance of the chukka boot hails from the fields of polo, as early models were akin to the boots worn by British polo players after matches. The moniker was adopted from the seven minute period of play of the same name. While hugely popular in the 1940s and 1950s as casual wear, modern iterations have rebooted (pun intended) the boot's popularity and timeless appeal.
We like this pair from Allen Edmonds. Cut from premium suede with a studded rubber Dainite sole and crafted in America with a Goodyear welt*, it is readily apparent—these are chukka boots for grown-ups. Classic and understated, they're more refined than your crepe-soled desert boots. And compliments of the unlined suede uppers (which mold to the contours of your foot), they are just as comfortable. We're into the snuff suede right now, which goes with...pretty much everything. From cutoff jeans to a suit, these have you covered. Of course, lace 'em up without socks as long as you can.
*Because they're Goodyear welted, the boots can be resoled through Allen Edmonds' very own Recrafting® process. Complete recrafting from toe to heel starts at $125.

Our computer is down.
And when I say "down" what I mean is that the little upside down triangle thingy in the upper right hand corner keeps trying to find an internet connection and it's not happening. Which is odd because I'm getting wireless on my phone. But my darling hubby ( <— eww, I promise not to ever use that word again) has yet to get it fixed. I mean, you'd think that somewhere between tiling the baby girls' bathroom, building a shelf and making Ollie a bed he'd find the freaking time to just fix my blog problem!!
Apparently he doesn't care about the prospect of me losing readers because more than a week has gone by between posts. Or maybe he thinks more laundry will get done if the internet isn't available (what a sucker, I still surf the 'ol interweb on my phone). Or maybe he's just busy. I don't care what it is, I am going to really bug him tonight until it gets fixed so I can show you all the adorable skater pics of Maria at skate camp and the progress on the baby girls' room.

The Eagle Ford Shale rig count is up three rigs to 233 active drilling rigs. The area is now back to the high we hit at the beginning of August. For reference, anywhere from 30-40 of these rigs are likely targeting formations other than the Eagle Ford, but still contribute to drilling intensity in the area. The number of natural gas rigs working increased by five to a total of 116, while the oil rig count decreased two rigs to 117. Zero disposal wells or injection wells are being drilled. Horizontal rigs account for 209 of the 233 rigs drilling in the South Texas region. Karnes and La Salle counties lost a total of six rigs combined, while Dimmit, Gonzales, Leon, Zavala and Atascosa counties all increased by more than one rig.
Chesapeake Energy (25) and EOG Resources (21) continue to work more than 20 rigs in the play. Six companies have more than 10 active drilling units.
On the Eagle Ford News front - We were cited by the CBS Evening News yesterday in a story on the job boom in South Texas. Earlier in the week, the Caller, in Corpus, had a good article on Eagle Ford Economic Impacts and Threats. The influx of oil money can also cause a couple of unintended consequences:
Stay tuned each week for an update on the South Texas rig count.
Drilling Rig Count by County and Operator
What is the Rig Count?
The Eagle Ford Shale Rig Count is an index of the total number of oil & gas drilling rigs running across a 30 county area in South Texas. The South Texas rigs referred to in this article are for ALL drilling reported by SmithBits and not solely wells targeting the Eagle Ford Shale. All land rigs and onshore rig data shown here are based upon industry estimates provided by the Baker Hughes Rig Count and/or Smith Service Co's (Schlumberger) Smith Rig Count.

The first recording I ever bought of Beethoven Symphonies was the Decca Eclipse LP of the 1st and 2nd played by the Vienna Philharmonic under Carl Schuricht. I knew nothing about him except that the reviews all said that they were fine performances, so I bought them. I have never regretted that decision in nearly forty five years and when the Icon box set was released, I knew I had to have it.
The orchestra on this set is the Paris Conservatoire and although not the Vienna Phil they give Schuricht everything he wanted and the set has always been highly prized.
Listening again to these taut, brisk but very musical performances I can only wish that they were all in stereo (all but the 9th Symphony are in mono), the strange thing is that at the same time a French conductor Cluytens was making a set with the Berlin Philharmonic. I often wonder why Schuricht was not given this orchestra to work with because then something really special may have been created. Cluytens' set is very good but he doesn't get the textural detail out of the orchestra that Schuricht does and if the wind playing of the Paris band is quirky to say the least it lends a slight period air to the proceedings. Listening to the French horn solos I could swear that they were played on a cornet such is the difference in sound this orchestra then made to the German competition.
The 3 Bruckner recordings are a must have for any Brucknererian. They stem from the early 60s and all three are in stereo. The Vienna Philharmonic is on fire and the playing and detail superb. The 9th Symphony is left in its perfect, unfinished state. What could follow the incredible Adagio? Certainly no 'completion' I've heard. Happily, no musicological mediocrity in the land of Bruckner genius, here.
Schuricht is a much overlooked conductor today probably because his recorded legacy is mainly in mono and he didn't court fame and fortune, however the joy of exploration is worth every note.

The last of the mohicans, Chiam See Tong, has decided not to contest the election.
The original coffee-shop MP whose strategy of mingling, helping and getting feedbacks from the people in coffee-shops, void-decks and hawker centres is now being copied even by the ruling PAP albeit once every 4-5 years, will not stand this time because of health and age.
He will not be standing in elections for the first time in close to four decades, but opposition veteran Chiam See Tong, who remains the chief of the Singapore People's Party, said he has "a long way to go".
SPP will be fielding a team with the Democratic Progressive Party in Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC in the impending polls, and Mr Chiam, who had unsuccessfully contested there in the 2011 General Election, will be advising them.
Mr Chiam, 80, who was Singapore's longest serving opposition politician until 2011, has suffered two strokes in recent years.
The former teacher-turned-lawyer first entered politics in 1976, when he contested against then Minister for National Development and Communications Lim Kim San in the Cairnhill ward. But he only saw success at the 1984 polls, after he garnered 60.28 per cent of the votes in Potong Pasir single member constituency.
For the next 27 years, Mr Chiam represented the residents of Potong Pasir in Parliament, but in 2011, he decided to lead a team to contest Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC. His team lost to the People's Action Party incumbents with 43.07 per cent of the votes. Mrs Chiam contested in Potong Pasir in his place, but lost by 114 votes to the PAP's Sitoh Yih Pin.
We wish him good health.

Hard to believe this series of blog posts is running since December 18th, 2013. Backe then, we were modelling a more or less convincing rendition of Limoilou yard in the mid-1960s with lot of Alco and MLW power in the roster. Another one of these layouts where you need about a gazillion engines to run dozens of scheduled trains you could never have time or operators to ran... Ah, the good old days!
That said, I've never regretted kitbashing these RS18 from Atlas RS11. It was a fun process and I've learned a lot... and got myself quite decent models which I weathered to my heart content. Given RS18s have been a staple of Canadian railroading since the mid-1950s to today, having a few in a collection isn't a liability at all. No wonder Rapido picked up this great prototype and I certainly can predict a lot of people will buy then by lots. I'll be honest, I'm looking forward to their versions. While I'm satisfied with my locos, I know their obvious shortcomings in term of electronic and details and wouldn't mind acquiring a chopped nosed RS18u if it ever hit the market for our Murray Bay layout..
|Not to bad for a Life-Like isn't it?
But enough about consumerism fueled by commercial propaganda. On my desk there is still a last RS18 to kitbash, which is the ubiquitous NBEC 1816 (ex-CP Rai) that ran on CFC during the mid-2000s and was a fan favorite that instantly attracted railfans. I love the old worn out Multimark CP Rail scheme but I'm well aware I'll never build a CP-themed layout. Having these RS18u in Charlevoix is quite a happy coincidence and it's why I decided to complete my kitbash once for all.
|The photo etched fan grill will house the twin speakers.
Will it be perfect? No, but as close as I can without loosing my mind. This locomotive will be a stand in for a while, but it's not an excuse to be sloppy and I'm trying to make the best I can out of this heavily bashed Life-Like shell. Among the CFC locomotives I can put in operation, it's the fastest project to complete. Also, I want to do some extreme weathering on this particular locomotive and this kitbash will be a good opportunity to try the military approach once again on a worthy subject. NBEC 1816 was quite worn out when it ran on CFC and will be a fertile ground to experimentation.
|Hinges, door handles, extra flag holders and window sills add life to the model.
And I won't skim on electronics either. I'm planning to equip this engine with a Loksound Select decoder (Full Throttle), a keep alive and two speakers. Working ditchlights will also be featured to fully recreate the experience.
As far as things are, I glued the shell back together, a looking at higher resolution pictures of the prototype, I found out small details that I didn't notice when I started the build. Theses tiny details were added as much as possible to recreate a good rendition of the real locomotive. They give personality and they are fun to build.
|Some wire and Atlas parts can create surprising results.
Another thing I did which I never in the past was rebuilding handrails. Using Atlas RS18 stanchions, I removed the piping and replaced it with 0.0125" wire. Not only it looks better, but now the handrail configuration is matching the prototype. I was surprised how the process went smoothly though it required some time. By the way, all delrin parts have been soda blasted to improve paint adhesion. I certainly hope to reduce paint flaking as much as possible.
So at this point of the day, the shell is almost ready for primer and paint once I add the train line hoses and dropping steps on the pilots. As you can see many grabirons, headlights, end endrails and brake wheel are missing. It is intentional as I plan to paint them separately and apply them when the stripping decals are set in place. Adding stripes to a detailed model is always an excruciating experience and I prefer to take an easier path that leads to more consistent results.

Our agent would like to make the most of the available scores during its turn. Among the agents said that it doesn't need to be all about the money if you opt to, and that's what keeps him going. A sports agent accounts for negotiating endorsement deals together with employment contracts for athletes of all kinds. Agents get a fairly bad rap, especially when it comes to England's Premier League. When it has to do with free agents, it is normal for leagues to apply a waiver system. True completely free agents can be gotten without application of any rules.
Soccer Agent Options
You feel a great deal more personally linked to the team. Nobody else outside your team is able to help you attain your aims. In front of a team can choose the field they have to be registered with their regional FA. There's a core group, and a few players might be assigned to various roles, even within one game. Thus, the receiving team does not have any method of guaranteeing they will stay around even once they have given up a few of their players or picks in the trade. Many individual teams provide internship positions also.
The Lost Secret of Soccer SBOBET Agent
Players will now begin to find out the way to switch off their social media and the way to switch off from the game. Allow it to be crystal clear I have NEVER blamed the player. Also, players in the usa are more inclined to be university-educated and might be less likely to participate in risky behaviour like match-fixing for fear of jeopardising their soccer and post-soccer careers.
Establishing yourself as a pro tennis coach is about living and breathing the game and ensuring you know the correct men and women. Following that, determine which type of game you want and exactly what you will play. With the idea of creating something unique, a few of the games have integrated genre.
If you enjoy a player and would love to have the exact same jersey as he does, you can shop on web and find authentic jerseys. Players utilize a network to interact with different players in the digital game room. It isn't easy to gauge how much a player will play in weeks 13-17 far ahead of time, but it's a huge risk to enter the playoff battle with players who might sit after one half. Since most players start their careers they ought to think about the end point in mind.
Players are restricted to $1,000 per year for industrial appearances. In case you have some players which you feel may be studying getting some rest, it's most effective to trade them before the trade deadline to make sure that your roster is as strong as possible during the playoffs. Similarly to football, Creative team players are today asked to have a growing number of skills to be in a position to locate solutions for every single channel, build ideas that may answer new and at times loosely defined challenges.
The Most Popular Soccer Agent
In the huge scheme of things, soccer is not an issue of life or death. Youth soccer caters to over thousands and thousands of kids all over the country, there's plenty of money to be made. Before you register for any club be certain that you're receiving the best bargain. On occasion the club pays, as is frequently the case at the higher end of the sector, and at times it comes right from the player's pay packet. Starting a football club can be an intimidating endeavor, but there are steps you may take to help it become easier.
The sport of football has a very long history. Throughout the past 20 decades, football changed drastically. Football has ever been the default representation of sports in Nigeria and lots of African nations, it normally gets priority over other sports. Flag football is an excellent sport for your kids and teenagers to play. The very first step in preparing for flag football is to ensure your kid is interested in the sport. There are quite a lot of approaches to turn into a football coach. Expert coaches from all around the world will have the ability to analyze data and give local kids valuable strategies on improving their play.
A lot of people aspire to play football professionally, although only a little proportion of aspiring players are ready to make it like a pro. Football is not only a sport today. Republic of Ireland football should change. It is possible to certainly form leagues that are bigger and smaller than that, but ensure you've got an even-number of teams if you're playing in a head-to-head league as no one would like to have a week off. In the event the leagues become bogged down in match-fixing scandals, there'll be no games to bet on later on.

For most of us, backup is a familiar thought or in a better case, a task that we plan on doing "one day". The simple fact is that most of us don't have a proper backup, this is also true for many businesses. For personal use, we have photos that we collect for years, music, videos and other memories. For business, losing business-related data can result in long-term damages and loss of revenue.
When it comes to backup, I recommend applying the same practices to both personal and business where the later one requires more planning, but the concepts are similar.
So, what is my approach to backup in a few words?
Assess, plan, execute, maintain and test
This stage is basically a risk management stage. The leading questions here are:
"What if I lose this folder or this file?"
"What happens if someone sees, opens or modifies my files?"
"If a disaster strikes, how fast can I recover to be back in business?"
So, you should look at your data and decide what are the implications of losing it and what would be its value. Not always value is counted in dollars.
During the assessment, you should consider:
Where is your data stored? For the average user, the data can be on multiple devices like laptop, mobile, tablet, PC, work PC, cloud and more... it's important to mention right here, having your data in the cloud does not guarantee much, you should always aim to keep an offline copy. To have a better control over your important data, try to centralise it, this means, try to have a central point of storage on which you will later apply your backup solution. Always have a copy of your data in at least 2 physically separate places.
You need to assess the capacity of your data, including future expected capacity. This means, if you're generating heaps of data every day, then you should take it into account as this is going to have a big impact on your backup plan. Capacity is impacted by the quality of the videos, images and sound. For example, a 4K format video will be much bigger than HD. So you should consider if you want to store a backup of the full version or a reduced version to save some space. You can also apply compression with some of the backup solutions that will be described further.
Data retention policy basically means how far back can you go with your data recovery. Retention is simply restore point of your data, so not only you can recover your data, but you can also decide from which date and time to you want it to be recovered. This can be very useful when you deleted some file by accident and only found out about it a month later. Of course, you cannot retain data forever so the factor here is how much data do you have vs how much storage is available for you.
Security and privacy
This is a big consideration. When backing up your data, always assess how secure it will be at the backup target. Don't assume "it's secure", this will be the most common mistake. The best approach to keep your data secure and private is to apply an encryption. If an encryption is applied to your backup, it cannot be recovered without the encryption key so make sure you have it somewhere safe (KeePass for example).

Last week a good friend of mine called to vent. He was in the midst of every designers worst nightmare: working on a client project in which there were 8 major stakeholders. It was a classic design by committee scenario.
The day he went in for the first consultation, the stakeholders were lined up on either side of a rectangular table staring each other down. He whipped out his notebook and asked what the goals of the redesign were.
And so it begins…
3 of the 8 people started talking over each other, then glared at each other. The other 5 looked uncomfortable and didn't speak. Finally one voice surfaced.
Person 1: "The goal is to increase conversions. We need to make all of the buttons green."
Person 2: "Um, no it's not. The GOAL is to create a more usable website. We need bigger text boxes on the landing page, and the registration area needs to be bright yellow to draw more attention to it."
Person 3: "We JUST had a 2 hour meeting about this yesterday! Were you two sleeping through it? The goal is to update our branding! The whole site needs to be aqua!"
War is waged!
Then the meeting turned into the equivalent of an episode of Big Brother. Factions formed and the volume levels got higher and higher. The quiet team members looked like they wanted to disappear.
Then things got personal:
"You always try to steamroll my ideas!"
"You think your opinion is the only one that matters!"
"I'm higher up the food chain than you are, what I say goes!"
My friend said that he did his best to redirect and refocus the group, but within 10 minutes the meeting had gone from an introductory consultation to a war zone.
Alcohol: Mandatory
He said that by the end of the meeting he wanted to curl up in the fetal position under the desk, and that he picked up a bottle of vodka on his way home.
So how do you avoid this nightmare?
Step 1: Instead of meeting with all of the committee members at once, interview them one or 2 at a time in short sessions.
Sounds a little crazy right? And time consuming? It's not. It's surprisingly effective, and SAVES time.
Instead of folks getting into fiery debates because they're bitter about unrelated office politics situations, the focus becomes the current design project.
Also, the people who have great ideas, but are too intimidated to speak up in front of their peers, are free to share their thoughts openly and honestly.
The best part? All of the responses are direct and to the point.
If you meet any resistance when you express that you want to conduct interviews in groups of one or two, just explain that you want to make sure that you don't miss any important details.
Step 2: Focus on a concrete concept: The problems that need to be solved.
When you conduct your interviews, instead of asking for goals, ask for specific problems that need to be solved.
By approaching the interviews this way, you are given the information that you need to complete the design, rather than a grocery list of overly specific requests.
Step 3: Unveil the redesign to one or two stakeholders at a time before the group reveal, highlighting the features that align with the specific problems they wanted to solve.
A majority of the time, the problems the stakeholders are trying to solve are directly related to one another. They don't realize it because they aren't professional designers, so they get fired up for no reason at all.
In my friend's example, increasing conversions and making the site more usable were going to be addressed simultaneously. Simplifying the registration process (making it easier to use) was most likely going to lead to increased conversions. Unifying the branding across the website and social media channels was likely going to contribute to an increase in brand trust, and increased conversions as a result.
By pointing out the specific ways the redesign has been crafted to solve the problems folks identified PRIOR to the group reveal, you wind up with a group of happy stakeholders who feel that their needs have been addressed and their voices have been heard.
If you give this method a shot, I'd love to hear about your experience! My friend gave it a test run after we talked, and called me with a glowing review afterward. He said the change in attitudes was incredible, and that he'd be using this approach every time he ran into a design by committee situation going forward.

Important Announcement: New Application Criteria & Funding LimitS/
Recently Tails of Help conducted a review of the funding limits and the financial need categories of eligible pet owners.
A survey was sent out to all veterinary clinics that have used the Tails of Help Program. Thank you to all clinics that responded to this survey – you provided us with valuable feedback and information that has assisted Tails of Help to make significant changes that we believe will make the program accessible for more Alberta pet owners in financial hardship, while still keeping the process simple, with clear qualification criteria that make it easy for clinics to make their decision about submitting an application for their client.
Tails of Help is pleased to formally announce changes to funding limits and the application criteria which become effective April 10th, 2017.
Application Categories & Criteria
Tails of Help has added more categories for quick, simple and clear financial needs qualification. In addition to the previous categories of Assured Income for Severely Handicapped (AISH) and Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) recipients, new categories for financial qualification now include Alberta Works recipients, Resettlement Assistance Program, Domestic Violence Shelters referrals, Registered Social Worker referrals, and Low Income Cut-Off (LICO) criteria.
The new changes to the application process now provide 3 major financial need categories in which potential applicants may be eligible:
- Specific Criteria Applicants
- Low Income Declaration Applicants
- Declared Financial Need Applicants.
FOR ALL CATEGORIES OF APPLICANTS, applications for Tails of Help funding must be submitted by the veterinary clinic. ALL PET OWNERS SEEKING AID FROM TAILS OF HELP MUST SEE THEIR VETERINARIAN for their pets' diagnosis, treatment, and any application for Tails of Help funding.
1. Specific Criteria Applicants - this category has simple clear criteria where the pet owner must provide specified documentation to demonstrate the financial need:
- · Assured Income for Severely Handicapped (AISH)
- · Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS)
- · Alberta Works
- · Resettlement Assistance Program Form
- · Letter from a Registered Social Worker
- · Letter from a Domestic Violence Shelter
2. Low Income Declaration Applicants - If a pet owner's household income is below the low-income cut-off (LICO) rates adopted by Tails of Help, then they may meet the financial needs criteria.
3. Declared Financial Need: Clients that do not qualify under the Specific Criteria or the Low Income Declaration requirements, may still be eligible under Declared Financial Need. Clients in this category may include persons who are experiencing emergency situations, such as large medical bills which use up a large portion of their income, or other extraordinary circumstances in which they are experiencing financial hardship.
Clients in this category must provide detailed information and evidence on their financial position to qualify for assistance. Any application in this category, and supporting documents provided along with it, will be assessed by Tails of Help on a case-by-case basis. Further information or documentation may be requested by Tails of Help to verify the financial need of the client.
Funding Limits
Tails of Help is pleased to announce that the annual funding limit for client applications is now $1,000 per veterinarian per calendar year. Previously the limit for client applications was $1,000 per veterinary clinic per calendar year.
For clinics with more than one doctor, this will make it easier for each doctor to know if they can submit an application for their clients, based on whether they have used their annual funding allocation or still have aid funding available. It will also solve the question of which doctor would be able to use a clinic's available funding. For those clinics that have 10+ veterinarians there will be a limit of $10,000 per veterinary practice per calendar year. For those veterinarians that work at more than one clinic, the $1,000 limit per veterinarian per calendar year will still apply – the $1,000 limit will be applied to the veterinarian and not the clinic(s) they are working from.

Happy Bookiversary To Me!/
*singing* DO YOU KNOW WHAT TODAY IS? IT'S MY BOOK-I-VERSARY!!!
Writing my first book--4 years ago--was stressful, but I'm glad I did it. Every year, I celebrate this accomplishment (and honor my late grandmother's birthday), and I think about how other writers would possibly feel after sharing their gift(s) with the world for the first time.
I realize writing a book can be overwhelming, and after asking you guys about it on Facebook a while ago, y'all confirmed it. I LISTENED and decided that this year, I wanna celebrate my bookiversary by giving back. My gift is just not ready yet. LOL
Anyway, I've officially started working on my new e-book, How To Write Your First Book, and we're looking at March 14th as a release date! (CLICK HERE to pre-order my eBook.)
Stay tuned, and THANK YOU for celebrating my bookiversary with me!

One of the many members of the Navajo County Sheriff's Posse who participated in the Hashknife Pony Express, which re-enacts the delivery of mail by horseback, riding from Holbrook to Scottsdale. They did not look tired at all.
It was cowboys, cowgirls, clowns, dogs, young republicans, vegan protesters, baton twirlers, manure shoverles, little and big ropers, tricycles, marching bands and more at the annual Parada del Sol parade in Scottsdale. It has a hoor and a half, pure fun human spectacle.

Thank you for your reply. I was thinking of a single motor with spindle either side to drive the sidecar wheels (as I can add a second wheel between the sidecar and the motorcycle). Then have a small servo to turn a third wheel at the front of the sidecar. Maybe linking this directional wheel (e.g. via a small rod) to the front mudguard of the motorcycle? As this will only ever be a toy to be used on flat surfaces such as carpet a small amount of drift etc won't be an issue. I'm using this project to teach myself about creating small lighting circuits and RC drive systems as well as improve my model making skills so trial and error are all part of the fun hence the green garden wire as the rear brake arm and chunky looking spoke mounts. :)
3 wheeler small radio control unit help please Answered
I am adapting a 1:6 scale motorcycle and sidecar for one of my GI Joe/Action Man figures. I would like to put a 3 wheel radio control unit in the sidecar base so that when attached to the motorcycle it drives the combination. I expect someone has made or adapted a 3 wheeler for this type of use but I can't find one anywhere. Any help will be very much appreciated. I've attached a picture of the motorcycle to show some of the upgrades I have already made (the lights are LEDs with an on/off switch in the side panel and coin cell in the pannier). Thanks for looking, Bern
Without making major mods to the bike that would destroy the look of it there isn't much you can do beyond making it move forward and back wards. Everything needed can be concealed in the side car but you'll only have a single motor going and the bike will tend to drift.

Buttery Spaghetti Napoli (with Truffled Greens)
This isn't the best spaghetti napoli ever.
I mean, it IS good. I was very pleased. But the title of The Best Spaghetti Napoli Ever has already been awarded to a gentleman named Guido. Which isn't a surprise really, given that his name is Guido and he is Italian and my name is Casey and I'm... I dunno what I am, some Irish-English-Convict hybrid. The race was over before it had begun on that count.
Anyway, Guido will forever hold this title because I think for me, his food was some of the first I was properly obsessed by (apart from yours, Mum, which is delicious and wonderful so please don't feel envious or sad!). Guido owned a restaurant called Primavera, and because my dad also shared an obsession with Guido's hearty Italian fare, we would eat there constantly. Constantly. As in, we parked in the staff car park, entered round the back door, our spaghetti was already on the table when we walked in, and on one birthday which will sparkle forever in my memory, Guido made me surprise ROSE PETAL ICE-CREAM.
Have you ever tried rose petal ice-cream!?? I don't have words for it. Actually I do: It's like Spring made a baby with a unicorn and now they live on top of a snow-covered marshmallow mountain and spend their days skiing down its fluffy pink slopes. As a side note, Guido's hazelnut ice-cream is also top notch. Also I like to order hot chips and ice-cream at the same time, and eat them in alternating mouthfuls. I like to spread thickened cream on top of my ice-cream until it freezes hard then eat it all. I don't ever dip the chips in the ice-cream or eat them in the same bite because that would be weird.
But yeah, Guido wins in the rose-petal ice-cream department, and he wins at Spaghetti Napoli too. I'm not sure if he wins at any thing else because I was hooked on the napoli from the start so never got onto trying the rest of the menu. My spaghetti napoli is yummy too though, because it contains onion and lots of melted butter. Today I served it with a bunch of green veggies that I steamed, doused liberally in garlic, parsley, chives, lemon juice, truffle oil, then fried. But they are not the main topic of today's post, today's post is about Spaghetti Napoli.
Half a jar of tomato passata (around 2-3 cups)
A brown onion, sliced (not diced!)
3 Tbsp butter
A handful of cherry tomatoes
Marjoram, parsley, sage and thyme (or anything from that song Are you going to scarborough fair?...)
Salt n Pepper
3 cloves garlic
2 bay leaves, torn in half
Parmesan cheese (for serving)
What to do
This is too easy to put as a recipe really. It's more just a revelation that if you put butter into tomato sauce along with roughly chopped onion you will create a creamy taste sensation! It is a useful tip that I want to pass along though, because it goes against my usual sauce-making routine.
Chuck the passata in your saucepan. Add the onion and butter, salt and pepper.
Cook it a bit (see? it's so easy that I've had to make one step 'cook it a bit')
Add all the herbs and cook it some more. Let it reduce a little so it's not too runny.
Put some spaghetti on to cook about now.
Throw the cherry tomatoes, bay leaves and garlic into your sauce and put a lid on. Let it all cook a while until the tomatoes are soft and nearly breaking up.
That is! That's all you have to do! And ok, it is just a tomato pasta sauce, but adding butter to anything improves it ten-fold, so I really encourage you to try adding it to your simmering pasta sauce! The sauce becomes creamy and rich, the onion goes soft and sweet and delicious, its culinary madness!
And here's how you make dish that I have rather arrogantly called 'Truffled Greens':
Broad beans
Broccoli, cut into florets
Zucchini (I peeled the skin into spaghetti strands and then chopped the rest in little thick sticks)
Asparagus, chopped into bits
Truffle oil
Finely chopped parsley and chives
What to do
Cook the zucchini in a frying pan for ~5 minutes with some salt until it goes a little golden
Add the broad beans and asparagus
Blanche the broccoli in some hot water, drain it, then add it to the frying pan with the rest of the ingredients.
Mix in some more crushed garlic (~2 cloves), some salt and the juice of a whole lemon.
Pour truffle oil liberally over the whole thing, cover it all in parsley and chives, and serve.

Bram Stoker and Sir Henry Irving in NorthamptonOn Thursday 28th January 1903 Sir Henry Irving and his company of actors arrived in Northampton for a three day visit, they had travelled by special train from Euston and were courteously received by the station master.
As Sir Henry walked down the platform other passengers bowed and a crowd gathered as He and Bram Stoker bordered a Brougham in the station yard and were driven to the George hotel in central Northampton (now the Lloyds TSB building).
There was no grand ceremonial welcome as they had arrived much earlier than expected this was due to doubts as to whether the stage at the Northampton Royal theatre and Opera house was big enough to accommodate the production, so both Irving and Stoker went to the theatre to ensure everything was in order.
|The George Hotel.
The official welcome took place the following afternoon at 3.30 in the Council chamber and was attended by the ex-mayor Mr F.G Adnitt and ex-mayoress Mrs G.Adnitt (as the Mayor was unavoidably absent) and many other dignitaries including Mr Henry Martin J.P who presented Sir Henry Irving with a mulberry walking stick the wood of which was cut from a tree planted in Abington park by the famous actor David Garrick 130 years previously.
This act of kindness was his way of saying thank you for an earlier meeting when, back in 1893, Mr Martin and a few other Northampton gentlemen had seen "Becket" at the Lyceum and Sir Henry had invited them to an after show supper on the stage. He then arranged carriages to take them to Euston in time for the midnight train.
During the reception Irving was asked to plant a sapling by the side of David Garrick's tree but due to his tight schedule he declined this time, but expressed his willingness to come back and comply with their request (sadly he died before he could fulfil this honour).
Irving's first performance at the Northampton Royal theatre and Opera house was "Louis XI" and he played to a packed house.
According to a review from a local news paper when Irving made his first appearance quarter of an hour into the play the audience broke into "enthusiastic cheers and it was some time before Sir Henry Irving could proceed with the play", which, of course, was a great success.
|The Bells.
On the Saturday afternoon Irving was again on stage this time as Shylock in "The Merchant of Venice" for which he got "long and sustained applause" and he was joined on stage with his son Mr Lawrence Irving who played Bassanio (who received a standing ovation) and Miss Mable Hackney who played Portia.
This performance began at 2.00pm but a queue had formed along Guildhall road as early as 10.00am, the theatre was so packed Gentlemen had to accept seats in the Gods!
|Northampton Royal theatre and Opera house
That evening Northampton was treated to performances of "Waterloo" and "The Bells", again to a packed and enthusiastic house.
At the end of "The Bells" Sir Henry Irving addressed the audience, as a local news paper reported;
"he briefly expressed his oft-repeated assurances of his deep gratitude for the kindness shown to him during his brief stay in Northampton, both at the theatre and at the civic reception at the town hall, he also intimated that he would certainly return to Northampton at the first convenient opportunity".
A large crowd gathered outside the George hotel and at Castle station where Sir Henry, his son Lawrence and Bram Stoker waved to the crowds many of whom lifted their hats and cheered. Just after 12.00 noon on Sunday 1st February Sir Henry Irving and his company left Northampton by special train bound for Portsmouth.
However, as they steamed south between Willesden and Kensington a tube in the trains boiler burst spraying water onto the fire. As the water flashed to steam the fireman was injured and the driver (Mr J. Blake) was badly scalded on his face, at that point the train came to a sudden stop.
Always aware of the importance of deadlines Bram Stoker jumped from the train to find out what had happened. According to the news paper report "gave the railway officials a lively time in hurrying up a fresh engine and assured the ladies of the company that there was nothing to fear". A message was sent from Portsmouth later that night to say they had arrived safely, but late.
The Northampton Royal theatre and Opera house opened in 1884 and nearly burned down in 1887. The building saw many of the leading Victorian actors including Miss Ellen Terry, it was re-named The Repertory theatre in 1927 and in 1933 Errol Flynn was a member of it's company for seven months.
On it's 30th anniversary of being The Repertory theatre in 1957 Mr Lawrence Irving returned and presented the mulberry walking stick which had been presented to his Grandfather back in 1903, it can now be seen in the foyer of the theatre which is now known as the Royal theatre and opera house once more.
Interestingly in the shoe museum opposite the theatre there is a shoe on display which was part of the Mephistopheles costume worn by Irving in Faust which was an inspiration for the character of Stoker's Dracula.

If you are anything like me, you probably have an array of clothes at your disposal, yet some have not seen the light of day all year. Honestly, I need to make more room for fresh stuff. Someone presented the idea of selling my old clothes, but I didn't know where to start. The only idea I had at the time was selling to neighbors, close friends, and relatives at a yard sale. But you know that is a small reach if I wanted to sell all those clothes and make a good income.
Google became my best friend, and I learned how fast selling online was. It showed me different online clothing business opportunities I had earlier taken for granted.
Facebook and Instagram online clothing business opportunities
Not a day goes by, without logging into social media accounts to chat, make updates, upload pictures, or check out friends' updates. I must say that I had seen many people who had gone into business using these platforms as a marketing tool. However, the idea of opening business pages sounded like a lot of pain.
I did sell my old clothes to my friends on Facebook and Instagram. But I fell in love with this accidental venture that I turned it into a form of an income generator. I went on ahead and opened those pages I thought were a pain and found that they did not require too much of my time to set up.
I found these tips helped get my clothes selling at a faster pace:
- Making regular uploads of the pieces, I put together. I recommend at least 2 times a week.
- Creating an organized portfolio that showcases all the put together outfits. It is just one way to land a major client who wants to make a large purchase.
- Providing fashion tips for my clients.
- Writing content on the latest trends at least once a week.
Platforms selling clothes online
I have found these kinds of platforms very convenient in that I simply upload my fashion pieces and let everything else fall into place. Of course, for better success, you will need to engage with popular platforms that have a large traffic. As opposed to managing your own social media account where you have to apply techniques to pull in visitors, these platforms do that bit for you.
I merely needed to have the start-up money for my pieces to get featured on their platform. Examples of such kinds of platforms include Grailed, ASOS, and Crossroads.

She also served as secretary to her father when he was the legislative representative for Lee County in Tallahassee. Dede, after meeting on their blind date, married Robert E. Jacoby in 1945 and enjoyed 69 years together. Starting their family in Baldwinsville, New York, they moved to Chicago in 1962 where Dede and Bob started the R.E. Jacoby Company. Dede and Bob retired to Fort Myers Beach, Florida in 1987. They loved to travel by air , boat, and motor home, visiting all 50 states and many countries. They were very active in the Good Sams Club. They were also members of the Fort Myers Beach Yacht Club and the Methodist church. They were very active and loved "the beach". Dede was very proud of being a "true native" of Fort Myers. We can happily say that they are together again, strolling hand in hand, on Heaven's Eternal Beach.

19: Obama Accounting: How is Muslim "Mainstreet" Different than American "Mainstreet"?
Modern American "Mainstreet" is more generally product, money, and profit oriented and motivated. More recently, Black and other ethnic group insistence on "minority" small business loans and government grants has changed America's Mainstreet.
The stated purpose for government intervention for ethnic business funding has been "to level the playing field" for all members of a diverse population, to allow everyone to be part of the American "melting pot". However, many black and ethnic business leaders are "activists" for business and political "transfer of power" and "redistribution of wealth" in America.
The current rise of Islam in America is partly a result, partly a cause of the Black civil rights movement, in which many American Blacks found the "faith" in becoming Muslim-identified, not in becoming part of a more diverse America.
Muslims organize around Islam as a religious, political, cultural, social, and business focus. White Christian Americans organize around many other issues in business and in politics other than race, ethnic origin, or religion, for example, product safety, cost, wages, taxes.
This information from "Mainstreet Powered by the Street" may help clarify how business may be done among different groups. An international survey asked:
"Is religion an important part of your life?"
Those who answered "Yes", by country:
Egypt: 100%
Sweden: 17%
