My mom gets cotton hand knit dishcloths from a friend, who buys them from someone who knits and sells them. Both my mom and her friend are obsessed with these dishcloths and really wanted to learn how to make them. So, I looked at one and it didn't seem all the complicated. I wrote up a pattern and got my mom started. She even finished one on her own already!
While trying to work out the pattern, I knit up a couple myself. Since I bought a huge skein of dishcloth cotton, I will probably whip up a few more before the next open studios. They'll be available for sale if you're interested!

Kendall Jenner Wears A Trucker Hat At The Airport, Because She Can Make Anything Cool
When it comes to beating the heat, the Kardashian-Jenner clan always has the perfect solutions to accessorizing. This stylish family has been outfitted in the best bikinis and brightest lips for summer 2015, but Kendall Jenner's summer hat is getting some much-deserved attention. This model-off-duty deserves some serious style points for her casual-meets-trendy airport ensemble.
Just when you thought trucker hats were a thing of the past, Jenner pulled the forgotten style out once again and made it cool. She boarded an LAX flight wearing a black and white cap that camouflaged her untamed locks and matched her comfy black tee. Her dark and casual top might not have been runway ready, but was the perfect match for that sporty cap.
Jenner finished off the outfit with some pieces that really dressed the look up. She wore a fabulous pair of moto jeans that featured distressed details. The skin-tight jeans went well with the laid-back top and featured just enough embellishments to make the outfit fashion-forward. Jenner accessorized the ensemble with a pair of black stilettos and a Givenchy bag that fit the trendy outfit's dark color scheme. She is a fashionable force to be reckoned with, on and off the runway.
This isn't the first time that Jenner has sported a summer hat, and it looks like this sartorial inspiration is rubbing off on her big sis, Khloe Kardashian, who also has a love for hats. They are one trendy big-and-little sis duo.
Check out the times that Jenner and Kardashian both embraced the warm-weather hat.
1. Black Cap
Jenner flaunted the dark cap side-by-side with her big sis.
Kardashian took her hat to new heights with this hot-air balloon shot.
2. Wide-Brimmed
Looking cool and casual, Jenner was spotted walking down the street in a wide-brimmed hat.
Kardashian was spotted in the same fit, but she opted for a darker color.
3. Reppin' The Yankees
This little sis rocked her New York Yankees cap in a fun-filled photo shoot.
The fitness-enthusiast took her Yankees cap to the gym on more than one occasion.
They both look absolutely fabulous in their own ways, which makes clear that great style runs in the family.

10 Things Philip Slein Can't Live Without
Written by Carrie Edelstein
Photography by Matt Marcinkowski
A self-confessed "collector/borderline hoarder," Philip Slein once had the police pounding on his door after a passerby reported him carrying a Civil War era rifle down Washington Avenue. When he answered, the officers laughed, realizing the gallery owner was simply adding to his downtown loft which is filled to the brim with treasures. From a 1920s barber shop pole on the ground to a model Ozark Air Lines plane, a room-sized chandelier of Murano glass, and a pull-up bar hanging from the ceiling, it would take hours to list all of the "artifacts" Slein has gathered. When we visited him, he was bidding on a 19th century caldron he "had to have." So we dared him to list just 10 must-haves.
1) His 1966 Buick Wildcat GS convertible
2) What he calls his "Man-sessories:" vintage cuff links, needlepoint belts, Rolex classics, Hermés pocket squares, and Gucci loafers
3) Pull ups, his best upper body workout
4) His indoor garden of Jade and cactus plants
5) The rhythmic tick tock of his David Williams Federal period tall case clock
6) St. Louis artifacts he calls his talismans
7) "The Slein Syndicate:" the family, friends, clients, associates, advisors, and even spies in his network
8) His Washington Avenue loft
9) His art collection that spans 300 years
10) His "Vintage Hi-Fi Fetish," music from the 70s and 80s Slein refers to as the score for his life

A Real Life Story — Without Life Insurance
This real life story is from www.lifehappens.org, an excellent resource for unbiased information about life, disability and long term care insurance.
The Yasmine Moss Story
The cosmetology classes Yasmine Moss was taking at Bladensburg, MD High School were suppose to be a way to learn a trade she could use when she needed extra spending money for clothes or going out with friends. She didn't anticipate that soon that would be her main means of support.
When Yasmine was 17 years old, her father, Tex, a construction worker, died of esophageal cancer, just four months after receiving his diagnosis. In a cruel twist of fate, Yasmine lost her mother to ovarian cancer just 3 months later.
At the time, Yasmine and her older brother, Prevace, had been living with their mother at their grandmother's house. Neither parent had life insurance. So, amidst their grief, Jasmine and Prevace were suddenly responsible for financially supporting themselves. Prevace sums up the struggle that stretched out before him, "I live day by day—trying to just make it."
Being under 18, Social Security survivor benefits helped Yasmine, but they weren't enough. She found a job in a hair solon as a shampoo assistant, working 30 hours a week. All the while she continued to focus on her studies, graduating near the top of her class and being named to the National Honor Society. She continued to do well academically in college. Loans and grants helped, but she still had to work long hours.
These young adults are now wise beyond their years and share a lesson learned. "Life Insurance is essential," says Yasmine. "If our Mom and Dad had bought life insurance, our stress over finances would be dramatically reduced, especially during our time of grief.
Next…one more real life story coming out of the sky.

Aerospace Bristol set to receive an unusual Christmas present
Martha Lewington
This historic Bristol Freighter is being shipped around the world from New Zealand and is due to arrive into Bristol shortly after Christmas.
Aerospace Bristol - the newly-opened museum and home of the last Concorde ever to fly - has announced that it is expecting a very unusual Christmas present that certainly won't fit under the Christmas tree: one of only eleven Bristol Freighters remaining in the world today, and the only one of its kind in Europe.
An appeal has been launched by the Bristol Aero Collection Trust, the registered charity behind the museum, for donations to support the Freighter Project and a web page where you can track the aircraft's progress has been set up at aerospacebristol.org/freighter.
Designed and built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company, the Bristol Type 170 was used both as a freighter and as a passenger airliner, known as the Wayfarer. The innovatively-designed Freighter had a 108ft wingspan and featured distinctive clamshell doors that allowed cargo – including vehicles and large animals - to be loaded via its nose. A total of 214 Freighters and Wayfarers were built and delivered to airlines and air forces across the world between 1945 and 1958.
Lloyd Burnell, Executive Director of Aerospace Bristol, said "Everyone at Aerospace Bristol is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Freighter and we would like to sincerely thank all those who have kindly supported the project so far. Our appeal to fund the Freighter's journey, as well as the wider project, will continue into 2018 and we are hugely grateful to anyone who wishes to play their part in bringing her home."
The Freighter that is returning home to Bristol is currently on board a Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL) vessel and has recently passed through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean Sea. As the museum's preferred shipping partner, WWL initially transported the unusual cargo from New Zealand to Singapore, where it transferred from the company's 'Talisman' to 'Tiger' vessel, before setting out for Bristol's Royal Portbury Docks.
David Maggs, Break-Bulk and Liner Sales Manager at WWL. said "Whenever WWL are involved with the logistics of such bespoke cargo as the Bristol Freighter, the key to it going smoothly is thorough planning and open communication. Numerous discussions took place between Aerospace Bristol, WWL UK and New Zealand, as well as specialised Heavy Haulage companies at both ends before a single piece of cargo was moved. WWL are extremely proud to play a small part in returning this piece of aviation history back to its birthplace in Bristol."

Police have arrested three people believed to be linked to the shooting of 22-year-old Daylon Walker at a Pomona gas station last week, but officials believe the gunman is still at large.
Walker was critically wounded when he was shot in the parking lot of the ARCO gas station located at 805 Rio Ranch Road at about 12:30 a.m. on May 31.
Numerous calls and tips from the public helped police identify the suspects who were taken into custody, the Pomona Police Department stated in a news release.
Authorities have also identified the shooter as 34-year-old Azusa resident Rigoberto Perez, who police said was still on the loose and should be considered armed and dangerous.
No further details on the three suspects detained were immediately available Wednesday except that one person was taken into custody at Buena Vista Avenue and West Eight Street.
Surveillance images taken from the ARCO station and distributed by police on Monday show a man, believed to be Perez, and a woman sought in connection with the shooting.
Family members said a man had asked Walker for money and opened fire when the 22-year-old said he didn't have any cash.
"My son said that he knew no matter what he could have done, he was going to shoot him. That's how he felt," Walker's mother, Jennifer Thomas, said. "He felt no matter what he could have done, he had to escape to save his life."
Video showed Walker still inside his vehicle as it crashed near a gas pump after the shooting.
Walker was critically wounded and has been hospitalized since the shooting, prompting family friends to start a GoFundMe page for him.
The 22-year-old was a rising star wrestler at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut. He had dreams of someday competing in the Olympics, but is now confined to a walker with serious nerve damage to his body. But his condition is improving, and he's slowly starting to walk again, family said.
"I mean, (the bullet) travelled through both lungs, barely missing the spinal cord," his brother, Damon Felder said. "But you could see the hole where the vertebra's at. The hole through the vertebrate — you could see it," he said.
Adam Valdez, who wrestles with Walker, said he "embodies what a student athlete should be."
"It could have happened to anybody, and it just sucks it had to happen to him," Valdez said.
Walker's mother pleaded with the public Wednesday in helping her family find her son's shooter.
"We've got a long road ahead, it's going to take at least a good year for him to recover fully, if fully," Jennifer Thomas said.
"I'm not sleeping until this person is found," she added.
Police are asking anyone with information on the whereabouts of Perez to contact them at 909-620-2085. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call L.A. Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.

What a Beautiful Sunday, Yes? Yes! 🙂
As we begin this lovely month of September our preacher today helped me meditate on some things in my life.. Pardon me if the post seems a bit jumbled up. I do hope that it gets the message through though. 🙂
Here goes;
"Feelings of inadequacy sometimes overwhelm us and we feel like we are not in a position to minister to others. We sometimes feel we have nothing positive to offer this world maybe because we have fallen so far down. Could be stuff we are dealing with. Through your personal encounters with God, you too can minister to others. You dont have to have a theological background, the scripture at your fingertips..
From the story of Simon Peter in Luke 5 we see how God calls us at our most weakest points in our lives.
He calls us to go deeper into the sea, where you have never been before; in the midst of all the discouragement and despondency.
God's grace comes through for us just when we are ready to give up, give in.
Jesus came to Peter when he was already washing his nets..revisiting, reviving.
Having to go back to a situation where you have experienced lack, failure, discouragement.
He asks us to launch further than where our competence, knowledge and strength can sustain us.
He was in a night season, where he couldnt see. A time when you want to hear Him speak. "…I have toiled all night.."
Most of the times we think to ourselves, "If it was this hard, if I didnt manage to catch any fish in the shallow waters, how much more worse will it be at the deeper waters…"
They caught so many fish, the nets even broke and they even needed help, for the nets were so heavy.
The goodness of the Lord overwhelmed him.
God tells us, "I am not coming to make you prosperous in the area of your choice, what you desire, but in the area that I have purposed…" A redirection, A total divine transformation. Sometimes we need to make adjustments.
In weakness His strength is made perfect!
We want an encounter of His power at our terms. It has to come at the price of laying down something. Mostly where our heart trully lies. Power is given for purpose.
Identify an area in which you can plug into, someone's life today. Open an avenue to share His love. That is what Jesus would do, that was His style.. No Condemnation..
As I begin this new month, being a mission month in my church, I pray that I shall have the strength to reach out to others in any way I can. Not only in this month, but month after month, year after year..for a lifetime to come. I pray the same for you.

Story by Kyle Anderson
March 2, 2013, Nanaimo BC (ISN) – Outstanding! That's the only word that can describe Friday's BCHL game between the Victoria Grizzlies and Nanaimo Clippers.
It took almost 70:00 full minutes, heading to a 2-2 tie, when Reid Sturos pulled away and buried a snapshot top shelf to send the 1279 fans home happy from Frank Crane Arena.
It was a bit of a slow start with only one goal in the first, scored by Keyler Bruce at 5:56. Assists would go to David Walchuk and Mark McLellan. The shots finished 16-13 in favor of the Grizzlies after one; however they did lead 10-1 at one point, with the Clippers coming on strong in the second half of the period. Brady Rouleau would be sharp to keep the score 1-0 Victoria.
The second belonged to Nanaimo on the shot clock as well as the scoreboard, but it would take more than half the period to get things started. With Myles Fitzgerald off for tripping, Kyle Kramer would walk out of the left corner and snap a wrister over the glove of Rouleau to make it 1-1. It wasn't until 18:46 that the Clippers would score once again as Mason Mitchell would bang home his own rebound after being fed from behind the net by Kyle Kramer. Shots were 11-6 Nanaimo.
A fast exciting period of hockey awaited fans in the 3rd, but it took until 17:47 to get the tying goal from Turner Lawson, who put a wrister past Jayson Argue on a scramble. The Clippers were skating around the entire shift. Final shots in the 3rd were 11-9 Victoria.
The first OT would solve nothing, without many scoring chances except for Reid Sturos breakaway halfway through. The 3-on-3 OT was back and forth without a single stoppage, as Reid Sturos would play hero with just 11 seconds remaining putting one top shelf on Rouleau for the Victory.
3 Stars: 3rd – Reid Sturos (Nan), 2nd – Keyler Bruce (Vic), 1st – Jayson Argue (Nan).
The two teams finish off the home and home Tonight at Bear Mountain Arena. The Grizzlies will get Sunday off as the Clippers head to Alberni Valley to take on the Bulldogs at 2:00 pm. Alberni Valley is 4 points behind Nanaimo for 2nd place in the Island Division.

Fishing in Cairns, mail redirection, change of address, banking, registrations, licenses, schools, houses, dogs, relocation companies and the fishing I'll miss in Sydney are just some of the million things on my mind at the moment while thinking about our big move. Sydney offers so many opportunities for fishing and has provided so many memories, here are just a few things I'll remember about fishing in Sydney.
Access to fisheries
Realistically Sydney is positioned quite well when it comes to fishing locations in close proximity. Regardless of the type of fishing you do, within a couple of hours north, south or west there is ample opportunity for fishing to satisfy most anglers.
Within Sydney there are several systems to choose from and one of the unique things about Sydney is there are headlands in each fishery with no bars to cross to access inshore or offshore fishing grounds. From south to north:
- Port Hacking, a small fishery, crystal clear with plenty of easy access. Although I generally find this a tough fishery to crack, some of my best sessions have come from this waterway.
- Georges River
- The Cooks River is joined to the Georges River through the northern side of Botany Bay. This small system is one of my favourite places to fish as it is easily accessible in the boat, kayak or on foot. It is rarely fished by many people but is full of fish with Bream, Jewfish, Flathead and even Trevally being regular catches. One year, Josh and I even netted a very lost juvenile Dolphin fish in the Cooks River, 6km from the heads of Botany Bay.
- It should be without saying that one of the best things about living in Sydney is being able to fish on Sydney Harbour. What those living in Sydney may take for granted, millions of tourists each year across the world will pay a premium dollar to access. To be able to cruise past the Opera House and under the Harbour Bridge without having to worry about fighting crowds on ferries or cruise boats.
Despite the few negative comments we have about Sydney Harbour such as boat traffic, river cats and harbour ferries, it is a small price to pay for a beautiful view and healthy fishery. Plus, jet skis have been banned from operating there.
Sydney Harbour is an expansive system made up of the Parramatta River, Lane Cove River, Port Jackson and Middle Harbour. These four systems offer pretty much every species Sydney has to offer with easy access to offshore fishing grounds.
- Hawkesbury River, is a large contrasting fishery. From the crystal clear waters of Pittwater which lies just inside the heads to the south and has numerous wrecks, boats and foreshores. Moving clockwise inland is Cowan Creek, Berowra Waters, the expansive Hawkesbury River which runs right up to the Nepean River at Penrith. Then to the north is Brisbane Waters providing access to the central coast.
Blue Swimmer Crabs
Catching a feed of delicious blue swimmer crabs in summer will definitely be missed. I guess we'll have to settle for mud crabs instead when we head north.
Blue Mountains Trout
The Cox's River offers wild trout streams only a couple of hours from Sydney mayhem while Thompsons Creek Dam offers year round trout fishing where we have in the past had some very productive sessions.
Western Sydney Bass
Western Sydney offers some phenomenal bass fishing that still surprises people. Without my good friend Aaron Horne, I probably would never have experienced these fish that we often caught in all sorts of places like ponds, creeks, drains and even flood plains during heavy rain. I would never have learnt techniques he showed me such as shaking trees above the water and his infamous figure 8. I probably would never have trod on the head of a black snake either.
Bream Australian Open
With only a handful of tournaments under my belt the 2008 Bream Australian Open was an enormous learning experience. Far from the one day team events I had fished it was a gruelling 3 days that saw us fishing against what I still regard as some of the best Bream anglers I've encountered. Towner, Morgan, Wright, Hickson and Lee just to name a few.
This tournament became the benchmark, the must do of all the events on the calendar. Since 2008 I've competed in every Open, through the transition to the boater only change up until the last one which was held in 2013. The highlight of these had to be not only taking out the event in 2012 but backing it up in front of a crowd at the Rose Hill Boat Show in 2013.
Although there are aspects of leaving Sydney that I'll definitely miss, this next chapter of my life will no doubt present many opportunities from Barramundi in Lake Tinaroo, Jungle Perch in the streams, Mud Crabs, Mangrove Jacks, Threadfin Salmon and Barramundi in the estuaries, and Gt's, Spanish Mackerel, Coral Trout, Dolphin Fish, Tuna, Red Emperor and maybe even a Black Marlin. These are only the species that I know of, I'm sure there are many more as well. I just need to be prepared for any opportunity and local knowledge when it presents.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphone catches fire aboard an AEROPLANE and emits 'thick grey-green angry smoke'
Airport authorities remove 75 passengers and crew members from flight as gadget overheats
Passengers and crew were evacuated from a plane today after a Samsung gadget overheated and caught fire.
A total of 75 passengers and crew were led off Southwest Airlines flight 944 this morning as it was preparing to fly from Louisville to Baltimore.
Airport authority spokeswoman Natalie Chaudoin said no-one was injured.
Fletcher says there was minor damage to the plane's carpet where the device was dropped.
Last month, U.S. safety regulators announced a formal recall of Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 smartphone after a spate of fires led to injuries and property damage.
The South Korean tech firm recently recalled millions of Galaxy S7 phones after a number of the gadgets caught fire whilst charging.

As Americans, we have a constitutional right to free speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, and the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances, as listed by the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights.
In the 21st Century, however, technology has drastically altered the ways we communicate with one another. We are becoming globally accessible right from our cell phones, computers, and other devices constantly attached to ourselves.
Due to this impact, our rights to connect with each other and communicate are essential to our individual, economic, and political freedoms. These methods of communication are universally accessible, open, affordable, and instant.
In recent years, however, phone, cable, and Internet corporations have trampled on these rights, using economic power to alter the ways we use the Internet to connect our thoughts and ideas around the world.
The concept of net neutrality has been around since the early 2000s, stating that Internet service providers and governments should treat all data on the Internet equally, not discriminating or charging differentially by user, content, site, platform, application, type of attached equipment, and modes of communication, according to Columbia media law professor Tim Wu. This is the concept of an "open Internet", one where democratic thoughts and ideas can be shared equally by all users.
On May 15, 2014, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) stated that "The Internet is America's most important platform for economic growth, innovation, competition, free expression, and broadband investment and deployment. The Internet has become an essential tool for Americans and for the growth of American businesses. That's because the Internet has been open to new content, new products and new services, enabling consumers to choose whatever legal content, services and applications they desire. We will ensure that that all who use the Internet can enjoy robust, fast and dynamic Internet access."
In describing its opposition to the Federal Communications Commission's Net Neutrality rules, Verizon claimed it has the First Amendment right to "edit the Internet." Like other telecoms, Verizon insists that because it controls the broadband connections we use to get online, it also has the right to determine what we do and say online.
Cable companies, like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast, want to charge content providers who require guaranteed speedy data delivery, to create advantages for their own search engines, Internet phone services, and streaming video services – and slowing access or blocking access to those of competitors.
Net neutrality advocates argue that allowing cable companies, often termed "content gatekeepers", the right to demand a toll to guarantee quality or premium delivery would create what Tim Wu calls an "unfair business model." Advocates warn that by charging "every web site, from the smallest blogger to Google", network owners may be able to block competitor web sites and services, as well as refuse access to those unable to pay. According to Tim Wu, cable companies plan to "carve off bandwidth" for their own television services and charge companies a toll for "priority" service.
Ultimately, they want to obtain the role of gatekeeper, and monitor the exchange of information between the people of the world. They desire to undermine the world's free and open technologies, therefore dismantling democratic communication between populations.
Everyone has the right to access the information they need to stay informed and engaged. The Internet is the primary way most of us connect and communicate. We must stand up against these corporate megalomaniacs and demand that a threat to free speech is a threat to democracy everywhere.

BELIZE CITY, Mon. Nov. 28, 2016–Race to the playoffs:
There have been tight playoff races before in Belize's Premier League tournaments, but none within memory has been so suspenseful this late in the regular season. Two teams only have already secured spots in the playoffs – Belmopan Bandits SC and Belize Defense Force FC, presently at 39 points and 30 points, respectively. (See standings below.) For that reason, their clash this weekend in Week 18 will have little significance. But 4 other teams are in the hunt for the 2 remaining playoff berths.
At 22 points, many are counting out Placencia Assassins, although they are considered the favorite to win against Wagiya in their last game, which would put them at 25 points. If FC Belize, who had fallen in a terrible slump ever since their default loss to the Bandits, should lose to Freedom Fighters at the MCC this Sunday, Placencia would have the edge in goal difference. A Freedom Fighters victory against FC Belize is not far-fetched, either, considering that FC Belize also lost their Mexican sweeper Jordi Lopez to red card yesterday, and their Mexican striker Hector Lopez is till injured on the sidelines. And meanwhile, the Freedom Fighters are surging late, with a dramatic 3-3 draw against Belmopan Bandits last Wednesday, followed by a convincing 3-0 win over Wagiya yesterday.
But the game everyone will be watching is the Police United vs Verdes clash at the Norman Broaster Stadium, both their home turf. (We await word from the league, if this game will be moved to the new Santa Elena Stadium.) If Police beats Verdes, that would put Verdes out of the playoffs at 24 points only, and Police would be safely in at 28 points. If FC Belize wins against Freedom Fighters, that would also give them 28 points and secure a playoff spot. A draw would also secure a playoff spot for Police, while Verdes would have to watch the goal difference situations with Placencia and FC Belize, should Placencia win against Wagiya, and FC Belize lose to Freedom Fighters.
There are still a host of possibilities. It will all be decided in Week 18 games this weekend to end the regular season of the Premier League of Belize (PLB) Opening Season 2016-2017.

Movie Magic!
Johnny Depp
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny!
I watched Alice in Wonderland over the weekend, not really sure whether I would like it ~ NOT because of Johnny but because of Tim Burton! Some of his films leave me scratching my head!
I loved it!!
Johnny {as ever!} was brilliant! I adore how he "gets into character" in such a believeable way....I love how we see the tender side as well as the darker side to to his characters, how he interprets his roles SO well and draws us into his characters soul! I absolutely adore him as Cap'n Jack Sparrow
I'm inspired by all of his fantasy characters and really enjoyed his portrayal of John Dillinger, a bank robber, in Public Enemies.
All in all I think he is awesome out of character as well as in and personally hope he is around for a VERY long time!
Now, if only I can bring myself to watch Sweeny Todd!!!

I do love him as Jack Sparrow, you just can't help yourself!!ReplyDelete
Hands off!! He's mine! Lol xReplyDelete
I want to watch "Sweeney Todd" but haven't yet.ReplyDelete
"Alice" is in my NetFlix cue. But I love him best as a pirate!
I've got Alice sitting here to watch and my youngest is growing his hair so he can have Jack Sparrow plaits (I won't let him have dreads which he thinks is highly unfair but he has settled for the compromise :-) ) Not to sure about Sweeney Todd either....you watch it first!ReplyDelete
Sweeney Todd is great! JOhnny Depp & Helena Bonham-Carter work really well together, with the Tim Burton style of darkness but with a wry humour in a horrible way. And the costumes are lovely too!ReplyDelete
PS there's an awful lot of blood, look away if you're squeamish!!ReplyDelete

When one thinks of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the characters of Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), and Agent (now Director) Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) are the first to typically come to mind. And with good reason – these are the characters who have almost been around since day one and have the most appearances across the many movies, short films, and television shows that comprise the shared universe.
As it turns out, however, it's another figure who's casting an ever-bigger shadow on the MCU: Hayley Atwell's Margaret "Peggy" Carter, who was originally introduced as a one-off love interest for Steve Rogers in Captain America: The First Avenger and who has since grown to have one of the largest presences in the ever-developing Marvel mythology. With the second season of her eponymous TV show premiering in less than two months, now is a good time to take stock of her Marvel career to date and see if we can't suss out a little of her future.
Let's dissect the 10 Things You Need to Know about Agent Carter.
10 First appearances
Movie audiences might have first been exposed to Peggy Carter in the first Captain America film, but comic readers have had a far longer affair with her: she was first introduced in March 1966 in the comic Tales of Suspense #75, where she appeared for all of one panel. It wouldn't be until two issues later, #77, when she would finally start to get a personality fleshed out (and receive a name!).
Both issues are set in the modern day, but feature flashbacks to World War II, when Cap fights alongside the French Resistance in an attempt to end the Nazi occupation of France. While there, he meets a teenaged Peggy Carter, who has travelled all the way to Europe to fight the Germans, despite her being the scion of a wealthy Virginian family. They quickly fall in love but are forced to break it off when their assignments take divergent paths.
9 Sharon Carter
In the original comics, Peggy has been caught by the Gestapo and is being held prisoner in Paris as WWII races toward its conclusion. When the Allies arrive to liberate the city at long last, a bomb goes off next to Peg, inflicting brain damage and, as a result, amnesia. She's sent back to live with her parents in Virginia to recuperate – which she ultimately does, mourning the apparent death of Steve Rogers. By the time the early '70s come around, an older, present-day Carter meets up with and befriends Captain America before ultimately joining S.H.I.E.L.D., fighting alongside him on various assignments all across the world.
This was a great narrative setup for a while, but as the years continued to roll by and the characters continued to never age (a standard conceit for many comic titles), a fix needed to be introduced, as it was necessary to preserve both Cap's WWII roots and a possible present-day love interest. Peggy's S.H.I.E.L.D. adventures, therefore, were retconned to Sharon Carter, who originally started off life back in the '60s as Peggy's younger sister. It was decided that Sharon would now be her niece, and that she would have grown up hearing all these wonderful tales of Cap's many missions – the perfect explanation for her joining S.H.I.E.L.D. and becoming known as Agent 13.
In the MCU, Sharon Carter is portrayed by Emily VanCamp and has only appeared in Captain America: The Winter Soldier (April 2014). Although it is unknown if the character is, indeed, related to Atwell's Peggy Carter, it seems likely the story from the comics will continue to be followed.
8 The SSR
What's most interesting about Agent Carter's backstory in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not how it reflects the comics, but in how it diverges from it.
In creating Captain America: The First Avenger, Marvel Studios decided to add an extra flourish: the Scientific Strategic Reserve, a top-secret American war agency devoted to creating a series of hi-tech weaponry – including the ultimate weapon, the super-soldier Captain America – in order to defeat the Nazis. Rather than having its version of Peggy work for the French Resistance, the MCU would have an older, better-experienced British officer directly overseeing Steve Rogers.
It's a shrewd move, and more than for just having the character conform to modern gender expectations: the made-up-from-scratch organization is an obvious nod to a bit of real-world history in the form of the Office of Strategic Services, the first coordinated intelligence agency in the country's history. It was formed during World War II for the express purpose of winning the war and, when it was over, so too was the OSS – though just two years later, President Harry Truman saw the need for a permanent, peacetime intelligence bureau, and the Central Intelligence Agency was born from the OSS's ashes.
7 2015 belonged to Peggy Carter
Peggy Carter has now appeared in four of Marvel's films, starting with the two Captain Americas and extending over to both of this summer's entries, The Avengers: Age of Ultron (May) and Ant-Man (July), where she appeared as a hallucination and in a brief flashback as S.H.I.E.L.D.'s co-director, respectively. That means she's only two credits away from tying with the MCU's two biggest heavy-hitters, Iron Man and Cap himself.
That's after she starred in her own television series, of course (which aired at the beginning of the year), which is a notable achievement in and of itself: Agent Carter is only the second TV show to be set in the MCU, and it's the first to be based upon one specific character.
And if we expand the time period to just a little before, the picture gets even more impressive. Carter makes two quick cameos in Agents of SHIELD's second season (which is currently airing), and even starred in a Marvel One-Shot (those are the short films that Marvel used to release as bonus features on the Blu-ray editions of its theatrical movies) before that, in September 2013. She's only one of three characters to star in all three Marvel formats, with the other two being Clark Gregg's Phil Coulson and Maximiliano Hernandez's Agent Jasper Sitwell.
6 Agent Carter (One-Shot)
Agent Carter, the short film, was actually one of the very first Marvel One-Shots to be conceived and written, though it was the fourth (of five) to come out.
It's easy to see why this would be so. When the direct-to-video shorts were originally announced at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel explained that certain characters or concepts that had originally been introduced in the movies but weren't afforded the luxury of being developed (thanks to that fickle mistress called running time) would be the target of the One-Shots – and what better unresolved character than the highly-skilled and beautifully-played Peggy Carter?
When Agent Carter did finally go before cameras – thanks to Hayley Atwell's shooting schedule clearing up – it not only ended up being the longest of the short films (it clocks in at 15 minutes), it also was the most expensive, thanks to the huge number of sets and visual effects (well, "huge" as compared to its short-form siblings).
5 Agent Carter (TV show)
The Agent Carter One-Shot was initially screened at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con, in July, before being packaged with both digital and Blu-ray releases of Iron Man 3 in September.
The success of the Agent Carter One-Shot was enough that Disney picked up a full television order for the concept; Disney CEO and Chairman Bob Iger saw the short and immediately requested a TV series, just as he had done the year previously with the Item 47 short, which resulted in Agents of SHIELD. Unlike SHIELD, however, Carter bypassed the pilot stage, being picked directly up for series – a rarity in television.
But this rabid success, ironically enough, has ended up being the death knell of the short film project: the idea of taking largely unused material and further fleshing it out is a perfect fit for television, and with eight series having now been announced (nine, if one counts the on-again/off-again Agents of SHIELD spinoff), all the resources going to the One-Shots have been diverted to Marvel TV.
Not to worry, though – recent comments from Marvel Studios have pointed to their possible return in the not-too-distant future.
4 The obsolescence of the Agent Carter One-Shot
Interestingly, despite the popularity of the progenitor short film, it looks like it's being written out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe – a first.
The One-Shot is set one year after the original Captain America, in 1946, and deals with an Agent Carter who is stuck at a desk job thanks to good old-fashioned sexism. By the end of the 15 minutes, she's managed to crack a case that none of her (male) colleagues can and gets the phone call from Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) to come found S.H.I.E.L.D. with him.
The first season of the TV series follows much the same template, though the writers and producers behind the show said that they didn't want to see Peggy running off to Washington, DC so quickly – they want to stay in the realm of the SSR for as long as possible. For the first season, everyone involved tentatively held both productions simultaneously next to one another, with a wait-and-see attitude for the future.
Now, with the impending second season being set in 1947 and with Peggy still an SSR agent, the One-Shot is completely out the window. While it's a shame to see such a great story go, the series promises many more good ones to come – a potentially fair trade.
3 Hayley Atwell and Dominic Cooper
A main draw behind the various Agent Carter productions is, of course, the casting of Hayley Atwell as the titular protagonist. Thanks to her performance, she makes what is essentially a non-superpowered superhero believable; audiences can't help but fall in love with the character right alongside Steve Rogers.
But there was also a second inspired casting choice: Dominic Cooper as a young Howard Stark, Tony's father. The character was already portrayed by John Slattery in Iron Man 2 (May 2010), showing him at least a full decade later than the WWII setting of the first Captain America – meaning Cooper had a challenge in integrating the performances of both Robert Downey, Jr. and Slattery, and still having the result be enjoyable enough in its own right. He succeeded so wildly, however, that it's completely understandable that Howard continues to be drawn back into the Carter stories.
Perhaps the secret of the two's chemistry stems from the fact that they've shared the screen twice before the 2013 One-Shot: first in 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger, of course, and also in 2008's The Duchess. Directed by Saul Dibb and starring Keira Knightley and Ralph Fiennes, the movie is based on a biography of the 18th-century Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire; Atwell and Cooper play the paramours of both Georgiana and her husband, William Cavendish, the fifth Duke of Devonshire.
2 Agent Carter's influences
The Agent Carter TV series obviously takes a lot of inspiration from both the Captain America movies and Agent Carter short film, and there's also a great many Easter eggs or call-outs to the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe (such as a reference to Iron Man 2's villain and the revelation of the Black Widow program's beginnings), but it turns out that the show actually takes quite a bit from other Marvel properties as it sees fit, as well.
The plot of the first season, for example, which revolved around Peggy tracking down a number of Howard Stark's inventions that have been stolen, takes cues from "Armor Wars," a seven-part storyline told in Iron Man between December 1987 and June 1988. In it, Tony realizes that his Iron Man designs have been stolen and sold on the black market, and he has to hunt them down before his enemies learn to effectively utilize them. (Just to complete the circle of MCU connections, characters seen in this legendary storyline include Justin Hammer [who was featured in Iron Man 2], Scott Lang [Ant-Man], and Stilt-Man [who may be appearing in Daredevil's upcoming second season].)
1 Agent Carter's future
It's obviously too early to tell whether season 2 will be Agent Carter's last, but the various individuals involved have already been vocal about what the future may entail.
Hayley Atwell herself has expressed her desire to explore the full gamut of Peg's life; since we've seen her in the prime of her youth (Captain America: The First Avenger) and at the very end of her life (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), the actress says that the sky is the limit, with future seasons possibly taking place in the 1950s, '60s, or '80s (which would, it so happens, place it right alongside Ant-Man's flashback sequence). In this way, not only would audiences get the chance to see Peggy develop over an entire lifetime, they would also see how the SSR transforms into S.H.I.E.L.D. and explore the latter organization's early life.
Unfortunately, this wide-ranging plan just isn't meant to be. ABC, which airs both Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter, has voiced concern about running two TV series dealing with the same agency and has stated its wish to keep the latter firmly planted in the '40s. The fact that the second season is, indeed, set just one year after the first shows that viewers won't get to see that wide-ranging narrative – for now, at least.

A new season in the garden has begun. Weeks ago M started seeds for a number of spring crops including bok choy, broccoli, lettuce, celery, cabbage, watercress, kale, and so on. He's been working hard in the garden during the longer evenings to work the soil and plant. Sugar snaps have been sowed in the ground and spinach plants that over-wintered are looking healthy and tasting sweet. He has also planted more onion starts as well as new fruit trees; two peach, one apricot, one pear, and a plum. A few days ago, on a less than springy afternoon, the first daffodils showed their sunny faces. I brought in three to brighten the kitchen. Also, we broadcast some poppy seeds, in a patch among other poppy varieties that sowed from the fall. Craving color, I planted some midnight blue pansies in planters for the front porch. Inside, a few of our cactuses are blooming, including the golden star. Inspired as always by nature, I have been working on several botanical pieces, a peek of one you see above in progress. I always have loved drawing from life. Soon, I'll share more of these pieces, and what I have planned for them.
Now as I type this, snowflakes are falling outside.

Shares of Dow industrials component Exxon Mobil XOM, -2.99% are rallying 62 cents, or 1.8 percent, to $34.70 in pre-open trading over the Redibook ECN after the oil and gas giant reported third-quarter earnings that topped expectations. Net income for the quarter ending September, excluding merger-related and other non-recurring items, was $2.94 billion, or 44 cents a share, down from $3.32 billion, or 48 cents a share in the year-earlier period, as weak U.S. refining conditions and unfavorable foreign currency translation offset the continued uptrend in crude oil prices. Meanwhile, analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call had been expecting earnings of 43 cents a share, on average. Revenue rose 4 percent to $54.18 billion.

Wallace chases down Olesen to clinch BMW International Open
What happened at the BMW International Open?
England's Matt Wallace fired a magnificent final round 65 to chase down Thorbjorn Olesen to win the BMW International Open at Golf Club Gut Laerchenhof.
Wallace started the round two shots adrift of the leaders, but at one point it seemed that the title would be going to Denmark's Olesen, who birdied eight of the final 10 holes to sign for a 61 – the best round of his European Tour career. He had a three-shot lead before the leaders had even teed off.
As the pre-round leaders started to falter, it proved to be Wallace who made the biggest move. After a low-key front-nine of 34, Wallace went on a birdie blitz, picking up shots at 10, 11, 13, 15 and 16 to edge one-shot ahead of the pacesetter Olesen.
But after a wayward drive at the 18th, Wallace was in all sorts of trouble as he looked to make par to set the clubhouse target. His ball ran through the bunker and perched on the back edge; the approach shot required an awkward stance where the ball was well above his feet.
The resulting shot – a superb iron safely into the middle of the green – summed up his exceptional play under pressure and his meteoric rise over the past year.
The Shot Clock Masters winner Mikko Korhonen made a late rally but ultimately came up a shot short, as did Martin Kaymer, who will be ruing a careless bogey on the drivable par-4 17th after running his short chip through the green.
Less than two years ago, Wallace was playing on the Alps Tour. Today, after nobody could catch him, he holds a very real chance of making the European Ryder Cup team in Paris after securing his third European Tour title in 13 months.

It was a strange surreal day after seeing Olesen shoot 61. I knew 10 (under-par) was the number. I want to kick on and do this in the bigger events from now on. I need to play myself into the Ryder Cup and this is a good start.

Going from today forward, any employee that has been working at their place of employment for 6 months or more will have the right extended to them for flexible working hours. This includes part time hours, compressed hours, working from home or job sharing, which was previously only offered to carers, or those who had children.
It seems that the implementation of these new laws are drawing very diverse reactions. Many seem to believe that this will make workers happier, which will in turn boost productivity. "Modern businesses know that flexible working boosts productivity and staff morale, and helps them keep their top talent so that they can grow," said Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg. This extension will be of particular interest to new, young workers who want additional training as they work, to those older employees who are nearing retirement, or to those who also do volunteering.
It will also reduce the stress of travel during the rush hour times, and it may also has the potential to benefit businesses £55.8m, although this should be treated with the caution due to all economic projections.
However, as many positives as this change may bring, there is also worry of a projected backlash against it. Because more requests will come in, unfortunately, some requests will have to be denied – which could cause a negative atmosphere in the workplace. The new legislation states that all employees have the right to request flexible hours, not the right to have it, and requests will be looked at in a first come, first serve basis. The company has to give each request fair consideration and if the request cannot be granted, there are 8 specific reasons that the company will be allowed to give, including costs or inability to move staff around for coverage.
A new study, done by the law firm Squire Batton Boggs, surveyed over 100 companies in the UK and found that 84% of the employers thought that the changes would cause large resentment among their staff. Fraser Younson, an employment law specialist and partner at the law firm Squire Patton Boggs, said: 'With everyone able to request flexible working, the number of grievances is only set to rise.'
It may also be a real struggle with smaller businesses, where it might cause an additional administrative burden if they don't have the man power to help comply with requests, or the money. As a lot of companies already offer some time of flexible working to their staff, many don't feel that this is a change in the right direction.
Neil Carberry, the CBI director for employment and skills, welcomed the new rules but also warned: 'It's important to remember that the work still needs to be done, so businesses will have to manage conflicting requests effectively and they retain the right to say no where the company just can't make it work.'
What do you think? Will this help or hinder the relationships in the workplace?

Stubborn unemployment and dipping housing prices placed Jacksonville in the bottom 20 in economic performance in the first quarter when ranking the nation's 100 largest cities, according to a report released Wednesday.
The Brookings Institution Metropolitan Policy Program's latest MetroMonitor says the Jacksonville metropolitan area is doing badly in two key areas: the one year change in housing prices, where it came in 94th out of 100, and the one-quarter change in employment, where it ranked 92nd. Jacksonville lost three-tenths of one percent of its employment base during the first quarter and 11.3 percent in value in housing prices when compared to the first quarter of 2010.
The city ranked 88th in gross metropolitan product and 85th in terms of worst employment slide since an employment level peak in the second quarter of 2007. Jacksonville has also lost nearly 38 percent in housing sale price value since 2006.
"It has been a very difficult economic environment, but we are recovering," said Lisa Daniel, director of public relations and communications for the Jacksonville Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Daniel noted that the chamber is working with more than 50 companies who are seeking to expand or relocate to the Jacksonville metropolitan area.
"Things will come back," she said. "We do see signs of recovery. We have a business community that's committed to helping us overcome this time and getting us back on the track to prosperity. We have a governor and mayor who are committed to that, too."
The metropolitan area's unemployment rate actually dropped in the latter two months of the first quarter, according to data from the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation. The agency also said Jacksonville businesses added 1,200 jobs over the past 12 months, for a 0.2 percent gain.
But the University of North Florida's Local Economic Indicators Project noted Friday that Jacksonville's leading economic indicators pointed to continued weakness.
"Clearly, a combination of local housing weakness and uncertainty among consumers is still constraining the local recovery," UNF economist Paul Mason said.
Losses in government employment have become the latest contributing factor to the economic meltdown, Brookings noted in its report. Local government employment fell in the first quarter in 60 of the 100 cities nationwide, while state employment fell in 43 and federal government employment fell in 50.
The report found that most of Jacksonville has lost three-tenths of a percent in state government jobs in the first quarter, ranking the city 49th out of 100. Jacksonville also lost two-tenths of a percent of its local government jobs — ranking it 40th out of 100 nationwide.
On a national level, the MetroMonitor report found the national economic recovery to continue to be "uneven and unsure." Most of the 100 largest metro areas were marking slow but steady growth in economic output and on-again, off-again improvements in their labor markets. Unemployment was dropping in the first quarter, but slowly.
The MetroMonitor is released on a quarterly basis.

Nonprofit for refugee and immigrant children finds an unexpected new home
Our Bridge For Kids celebrates move
It is easy to see that OurBRIDGE for Kids, a nonprofit for newly arrived and first generation children, has outgrown its home. Children sit crowded on the floor and the walls are covered in homemade posters and photographs.
After spending the last three years in a Plaza Midwood strip mall, OurBRIDGE is moving to bigger space in an unexpected place this summer: the Aldersgate Senior Living Community.
OurBRIDGE, a nonprofit founded in 2014, serves mostly refugees and immigrants. The organization provides education, English lessons, homework help, meals and transportation.
"We make sure that they feel there is a place where they feel safe and there is really no risk of failure," said Sil Ganzó, the executive director of OurBRIDGE.
Aldersgate, which is in east Charlotte, has opened its campus to nonprofit organizations like the Charlotte Museum of History and the Western North Carolina Methodist Conference.
"It is being a good neighbor," said Suzanne Pugh, the CEO at Aldersgate.
The evolution and gentrification of Plaza Midwood has caused rents to skyrocket, leading families who use OurBRIDGE to move farther away.
"We have done our best to shuttle back and forth to different neighborhoods, all the way down to Albemarle Road and Central Avenue, but we realized it was really, really not logical for us to compete with that," Ganzó said.
A growing waiting list also motivated the move. They currently have 78 children in the program, but with a new federal grant and a larger space, OurBRIDGE can help older children as well as more K-5 children.
Ganzó said there were other spaces available, but Aldersgate felt like a family. OurBRIDGE will pay $1 per year to be there.
"When the possibility came out, we were just super excited," Ganzó said.
The Aldersgate community has a pool, summer reading programs and more outdoor space that the OurBRIDGE kids can take advantage of, Pugh said.
Taj Keaton, a second-grade tutor and a UNC Charlotte student, said closed rooms in the new space will allow the children to focus more during lessons, and the open spaces will help them all come together.
"They are just really positive kids," Keaton said. "They're sweet."
The residents at Aldersgate can benefit from the partnership as well by serving as tutors and mentors, and helping with OurBRIDGE's literacy programs, Pugh said.
Pugh said they are always looking for opportunities to engage and entertain the residents, and OurBRIDGE also gives them a chance to share their life stories.
Ganzó said the move to Aldersgate is a step toward OurBRIDGE's bigger goals: opening more branches and making sure every child has the space and time to adjust.

Li-Fi : transmitting data wirelessly using light
Wang, Yi
Date of Issue2017
School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Light-Fidelity (Li-Fi) Technology is the term used by Professor Harald Hass during a TED talk. Being a disruptive technology, there has been a large growing research interest to explore the potential of using the light as a medium to transfer the information instead of the conventional wireless transmission methods such as Wi-Fi and RF. Not only the visible light frequencies are free to use, it comes with a very large bandwidth. By using light as the medium for data transfer, it will mean that it is very secure as it does not pass through wall or ceilings. Finally, the visible light is definitely safe and free of radiation. In this report, we will discuss about the basic foundation of this Li-Fi technology such as advantages and disadvantages as well as important applications of it. Also, we will build a prototype from scratch as a proof of concept which shows how it transmits data using a single LED. Finally, we will discuss about the feasibility of this technology.

Preliminary Accident Reports
June 2001 Issue
March 07, Keene, N.H. / Cessna Skyhawk
At about 13:10 eastern time, a Cessna 172S struck a snow bank during a landing rollout at Dillant-Hopkins Airport. The pilot was not injured. A Notam reported Dillant-Hopkins runway conditions as clear, with patches of packed snow and ice. Because of the runways length and the reports of patches of snow and ice, the pilot kept his feet off the brakes, and expected a long rollout. About 500 feet into the rollout, the right main tire lost traction, and the aircraft began to yaw, then slowly veer and skid to the left. The pilot noted that in the area where he had lost control of the airplane the runway had appeared to be covered with packed snow. However, after the accident, the pilot sa...

5 Restaurants that Filipinos Love So Much
It seems that every day, there is a hot new restaurant that's opening and we're paying attention. We love new restaurants!
But there are restaurants that we keep coming back to, even after all these years. Why? Because they serve food that we're familiar with; food that we love.
Pancake House
Pancake House
What's not to love about Pancake House's menu and its bestsellers, including Classic Pancakes, Spaghetti With Meat Sauce, Pan Chicken and so many others?
Pancake House
We love how the taste of the food hasn't changed in all these years.
Ask a balikbayan where they want to eat once they land on Philippine soil and the answer will most likely be Jollibee. Being a staple venue for a kiddie party, Chickenjoy and other Jollibee favorites will always be timeless.
When we were younger, Shakey's was a treat. It still is, actually. Who can say no to their Mojos and thin crust? The times when we had pizza and beer while listening to live band music are long gone but Shakey's remains a favorite.
We wish KFC (if you call it Kentucky, it means you're old) would do what it does best and that's serve crunchy fried chicken in two variants—original and spicy—with amazing sides instead of coming up with weird menu items. Having said that, we love KFC no matter what. We just hope they bring back their dinner rolls.
What's an office birthday celebration without Pancit Malabon, Spaghetti, Pork Bbq and Pichi-Pichi from Amber? Amber really offers comfort food at its finest.
