Build a FreeBSD VM Image Release
release(7) documents a set of shell scripts for creating FreeBSD release
files in same manner as the release engineering team. The script creates a new
chroot environment, checks out a fresh tree, doing the release builds in a
clean environment.
That might be what you want.
I want to write some scripts that take in a specified network, some git commit
ids and generates a set of virtual machine images running in
bhyve to
reproduce a test environment. Building in a clean environment isn't what
I need.
The Makefiles in
release expect to be run from a tree that already has a
built kernel and world. They make building the VM images really easy, but apart
from comments in the files aren't documented.
I am going to use a directory for all of the stuff:
-> src # freebsd src tree
-> obj # object directory
-> destdir # freebsd destination direcory
$ cd freebsd
$ git clone https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd.git src
$ cd src
Build the kernel and world, setting the object directory to the one in our tree.
$ env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/home/user/freebsd/obj time make -j4 -DKERNFAST buildkernel
$ env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/home/user/freebsd/obj make -j4 buildworld -DWITH_META_MODE=yes -DWITH_CCACHE_BUILD -DNO_CLEAN
Move to the release directory to build our VM images:
$ cd release
# env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/home/user/freebsd/obj make vm-release -j4 DESTDIR=/home/user/freebsd/destdir WITH_VMIMAGES=yes VMFORMATS=raw NOPKG=yes NOPORTS=yes NOSRC=yes
# env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/home/user/freebsd/obj make vm-install -j4 DESTDIR=/home/user/freebsd/destdir WITH_VMIMAGES=yes VMFORMATS=raw NOPKG=yes NOPORTS=yes NOSRC=yes
I exclude, packages, ports and the
src distribution in the images.
As a test launch a
bhyve VM with our created disk image:
# sh /usr/share/examples/bhyve/vmrun.sh -c 4 -m 1024M -t tap0 -d ../../destdir/vmimages/FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-amd64.raw test

Published at Friday, August 09th, 2019 - 06:18:41 AM. Wedding Dresses. By Adaliz Hofmann.
Determining the best neckline for you. Your wedding gown's neckline can definitely affect your gown's overall appearance. You have numerous neckline options, but it's all a matter of finding the most suitable and flattering neckline for your frame. Remember, in the same way that you need to take your assets, body shape and problem areas into consideration when picking out dress shapes and skirt styles, you also need to look at these factors when choosing your wedding dress neckline. If you're planning on showing off your arms, your beautiful shoulders and pronounced collar bones, and you have an ample bosom to pull off the look, then the strapless gown is an excellent neckline choice. If you tend towards the flat side, then you can enhance your bust area with a bateau neckline.
If you have prominent hips and a smaller bust area, then your wedding dress size will be based on your hip size. Once you get your wedding gown, you need to check if alterations need to be made for a perfect fit. Most brides find that alterations are necessary to get the size right. Ask the boutique or shop owner for estimates on how much you're going to have to pay for dress alterations to determine if you're getting a great bargain or a rotten deal.

Leigh Griffiths is just as good as Celtic star Moussa Dembele but he was always "half-hearted" in training says Billy Stark
Griffiths' lifestyle and training choices were criticised by Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers last month after another injury setback
BILLY STARK has hailed Leigh Griffiths as just as good a finisher as Moussa Dembele, but he's warned the Celtic star to work harder.
The former Hoops assistant manager handed Griffiths his first full Scotland cap when he was caretaker national boss and helped him develop at international level for the Under-19s and Under-21s.
Griffiths' lifestyle and training choices were criticised by Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers last month after another injury setback.
Keep up to date with ALL the latest news, transfers and goals from Scottish football plus fixtures, results and live match commentary
Now Stark has urged him not to throw away his talent. He told the Evening Times: "To me, Leigh doesn't have the physicality of Moussa but he is every bit as natural and cool a finisher as the lad.
"He is also excellent in the air – you see him hang in there waiting to connect with the ball – and I do think that he still has that potential to be a major player for Celtic, just as he was last season.
"But it is quite clear to everyone that he has to knuckle down and train the way he plays.
"Leigh wasn't one of the guys who rubbed his hands and got too enthusiastic about training. He was quite open about not being entirely motivated when it came to training but when it came to games, he gave his all.
"He worked his backside off and he gave everything for the team which is why he was able to be half-hearted when it came to training. He could never have labelled as lazy in games.
"But Brendan is a new breed of managers. Like Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, he wants to train the way he plays.
"And that is high intensity, hard work on the training field. If you aren't prepared to do that then it is quite obvious that you won't be playing."
Griffiths is in contention to feature against Hamilton this weekend, after overcoming a calf problem.

The Scotland star was the Hoops' talisman last season, netting 40 goals.
But he lost his place in Rodgers' side to red-hot hitman Dembele, who is being tracked by a number of top European sides.
Stark hopes Griffiths can take his gaffer's criticism and come back a stronger player.
He said: "I thought he had calmed down and matured a wee bit.
"I just hope for his own sake that he finds his focus and gets the head back down because he is a naturally talented boy.
"He needs to be big enough to take the criticism on the chin. He has had one absolutely cracking season for Celtic which should have given him an appreciation of where the hard work can take him.
"Any manager who chooses to go public with their criticism does it to try and get a response from the player – but there is another aspect too that Brendan will be well aware of.
"If you come out and say things in the media then you also have to back it up. I don't think Brendan would have any qualms about doing that and you just hope that the penny drops with Leigh that he doesn't waste what could be a really great career.
"He has all the attributes of a natural striker. He has made the most of what he has got but he needs to get to work on the training ground and fully buy into what the manager wants to do.
"Ronny Deila couldn't have criticised Leigh the way that Brendan has because he was scoring goals and he was the only one scoring goals.
"It is an entirely different season this year and an entirely different manager.
"The manager is right to try and get the best out of him – for the sake of his own career. Hopefully he will take note."

text: Share: Comments Print January 15, 2007 at 6:43 PM Another new Husky Posted by Bob Condotta The Huskies have added some needed depth to their secondary for next season with the addition of cornerback Bryon Davenport, who played at UCLA in 2005 as Bryon Velega. Here's a profile of Davenport who committed to Washington State last month — he said it was the weekend after the USC-UCLA game — before then deciding to keep his options open, especially when the Huskies began to show more serious interest in him. He visited UW this weekend and then decided to become a Husky, instead. The 5-11, 190-pounder will have two years to play two and obviously figures to compete for immediate playing time at the cornerback spot as the Huskies will lose Dashon Goldson and Matt Fountaine — two of their top three corners from the 2006 team. Davenport said he committed to UW because of the opportunity and because he simply loved Seattle. "It was just beautiful up there," he said. He also said he likes the direction of the program under Tyrone Willingham and that he has a long history with Husky secondary coach J.D. Williams, calling him "a genius" and saying that Cal is the school he favored coming out of Long Beach Poly High School because of the presence of Williams. Instead, he said he went to UCLA mostly to keep his family happy. "It wasn't my choice," he said. "I never wanted to go to UCLA. I was never happy there." He left UCLA last spring after having made 25 tackles in spot duty for the Bruins in 2005. Since he redshirted in 2004, he will have just two years to play two. He had season-highs of four tackles against Oregon State and Arizona and had two in UCLA's 21-17 win over the Huskies at the Rose Bowl that season. He said he changed his name for family reasons as Velega was his step-father's name. He has been attending El Camino CC since then but did not play football last fall. He said he should be done with classes there by March 5 so he will be able to enroll at UW in time for spring football. His commitment gives UW 23 solid commits for the Class of 2007. Comments

I am a feminist at heart but not a militant, says French director Catherine Corsini
Corsini, whose 2015 French film Summertime, was screened at the ongoing Kolkata International Film Festival, said she kept faith in women liberation and freedom of expression.kolkata Updated: Nov 16, 2016 13:16 IST
French filmmaker and actor, Catherine Corsini, who was the president of the jury for the Caméra d'Or prize at the Cannes Film Festival 2016, said she is a 'feminist' at heart but not a 'militant'.
"There are different sorts of feminism, which exists in the world. I am not a militant feminist," said the filmmaker.
Corsini, whose 2015 French film Summertime, was screened at the ongoing Kolkata International Film Festival, said she kept faith in women liberation and freedom of expression. Her thoughts clearly came across in Summertime, a film set in France in 1971, when women movement was gaining momentum.
The film talks about sexual liberation and revolves around two women — Delphine and Carole. When asked about the nudity in the film, Corsini said, "During the 1970s, the hippie movement was underway. Women didn't want to be controlled by society. So nudity was their way of showing freedom. Also, women should not be treated as sexual objects."
Corsini has watched a few Indian films at Cannes Film Festival, especially by Indian filmmaker Pan Nalin. Nalin has earlier directed films such as Valley of Flowers and Angry Indian Goddesses.
Corsini's three films — Ambitious, Summertime and Three Worlds — are being screened in the Special Screening section in Kolkata film festival. Three Worlds, which competed in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival, 2012, was screened on Sunday at Nandan.
Corsini's 2009 film Leaving depicted the life of a middle-aged married woman, who left her rich husband and fell for a common man. Corisini has always told the stories she wanted to. "We have to follow a set of rules or whatever our parents decide. So, we are not actually free to take our own decisions," said Corsini.

Drop by a Spanish Colonial Town
A Spanish colonial town surviving over the centuries is practically unheard of in Southeast Asia. Vigan, however, did it with flying colors. It is one of the last areas in the country that remind people of the Spanish colonization of the Philippine archipelago for 333 years.
This city in the northern part of the island of Luzon is filled with buildings that could have been built as early as the 1700s, which includes mansions, churches, and simple houses. A lot of them have been preserved but a few are also repurposed now.

Get a Tribal Tattoo
Even before tattoos started becoming a rage in the West, tattoos were already a thing in the Philippine islands due to tribal influences. If you want to experience having a one-of-a-kind tattoo, you may want to try out tribal tattoo artists.
The most prominent tribal tattoo artist is the 100-year old Whang Od in the province of Kalinga. While the trek to her home is a long one, it will certainly be worth it considering she is the last "mambabatok" of her tribe.
Eat Balut
Balut is probably the first thing that your Filipino friends will want you to try out. If you do not know what balut is, that might be a good thing as it is not for the faint of heart. Basically, balut is duck egg with a developing embryo. That is boiled and then served with vinegar and salt.
It is one of the bestselling types of street food in the country and is often paired with beer during the evening. You can't really be blamed if you do not want to eat balut but if you are looking for a culinary adventure, putting that duck embryo in your mouth is one good way to start.
Visit the Sunken Cemetery
Camiguin, an island off the northern part of Mindanao, is known for many things. But its most recognizable symbol is the large cross that stands in its seas. The cemetery became submerged in water after a massive volcano eruption in the 1800s. If you are feeling daring, you can ride a boat or even take a dive. After all, this spot is considered as among the most unique diving spots in the world.
Both locals and foreigners alike will be able to enjoy at least four of the items on this list. If you truly want to have an enjoyable time in the Philippines, these unique experiences are things you may want to start with.

Recognizing and preventing dog aggression is important. The lack of prevention is one of the main causes aggressive, dangerous dogs are euthanized.
If a dog is born aggressive, if the dog aggression is in his genes for some reason, there is no trainer or obedience school on earth that can change that dog to the point the he can be 100% trusted to never bite. Also, once an aggressive dog has been taught to fight, and has actually fought in a ring, that dog must be euthanized. Period.
Dogs in the wild are aggressive by instinct. They have to be to survive. Aggression is necessary to hunt for food, to defend themselves against natural prey and to defend their space when sleeping and with a mate. As far as humans are concerned, any aggressive dogs are dangerous dogs.
Selective breeding over the centuries has minimized this aggressive dog trait quite a bit. However, dogs are still capable of inflicting serious damage. That's how they have managed to survive and evolve.
There is a lot we humans can do to prevent dangerous dogs.
Different types of dog aggression:
It's not hard to tell when a dangerous dog is tense around strange people. He's jumpy, on alert and either he can't sit still and jumping at every noise or he's pacing around and barking.
On the other hand, he may be VERY still, like a rock, in one place, starring hard at the object or visitor or someone approaching him while he's tied up outside. This deadly, motionless stare by a dangerous dog is highly intimidating and dog aggression at it's worst.
There's one main reason why a dog doesn't like strange people. The dog has never had the chance to get used to them. Remember, your dog relies 100% on YOU to broaden his horizons for him. You need to take your dog out into the world and let him see other people and other dogs so he can realize for himself through constant positive experiences that the unknown doesn't mean bad news for him.
A little Chihuahua is
angry, probably about wearing a dress!
The process of accustoming your dog to the world and all the strange people and dogs that it contains is known as socialization.
This is incredibly important to your dog's upbringing. In fact, the importance can't be overemphasized. We humans can go a long way toward preventing dog aggression and dangerous dogs. Yes, some dogs are born aggressive, but too often, the dog aggression comes from plain lack of socialization.
Socializing your dog means exposing him from a young age, generally as soon as he's had his vaccinations, to a wide variety of new experiences, new people and new animals, from cats to iguanas. Otherwise, how can the dog be expected to be relaxed in unfamiliar situations as he grows older?
Don't keep your dog closed up in a crate when company comes over to visit. Let the puppy or adult dog be a part of the activities. Dogs need to socialize just like people… maybe even more so.
When you socialize your dog, you are getting him to learn through experience that new sights and sounds are FUN. not scary. It's not enough to expose an adult dog to a crowd of unfamiliar people and tell him to "settle down, it's OK" — he has to learn that it's okay for himself. HE NEEDS TO DO IT FROM PUPPYHOOD! for the experience to sink in.
The more types of people the 8 week old puppy meets (babies, toddlers, teenagers, seniors, men, women, people in uniform, people in motorcycle helmets, people with umbrellas, people in bathing suits, garage mechanics carrying big tools, mailmen in uniform and so on) in FUN and RELAXED context, the more at ease and happy, and safe around strangers he will be in general when he grows up.
This is true of any breed or size of dog.
Socialization doesn't stop with puppy preschool. It is an ongoing effort throughout the life of your puppy and dog. He needs to be taken to lots and lots of new places and environments. Most dog aggression does not need to happen.
Don't overwhelm the dog. Start off slowly and build up her tolerance. If she seems nervous or like she's getting too much, back off a little and give her some room to grow.
Even this tiny Pomeranian
can show serious dog aggression!
There are two common reasons why dog aggression toward members of his own family happens:
This is known as resource guarding. It may sound innocuous, there's actually a lot more going on here than your dog is simply trying to keep his kibble to himself and this is a form of dog aggression and is a sign of potentially dangerous dogs.
Resource guarding is pretty common among dogs. The term refers to overly-possessive behavior on behalf of your dog. For instance, snarling at you if you approach him while he's eating, or giving you "the eye" (a direct stare) if you reach your hand out to take a toy away from him.
Visit our page Dog Food Aggression for a look at another form of resource guarding.
Some dogs can be possessive from time to time. Sometimes they are possessive over things of no conceivable value like inedible trash, balled up pieces of tissue or old socks.
These are aggressive, dangerous dogs that need immediate attention!
It all boils down to the issue of dominance.
Let me explain the concept of dogs in animal "packs" because it is important in understanding this issue.
Dogs are used to a very structured environment in a dog pack. Each animal is ranked in a hierarchy of position and power or dominance in relation to every other animal.
Each animal is aware of the rank of every other animal, which means he knows specifically how to act in any given situation (whether to back down or to push the issue, whether to muscle in or not... on somebody else's turf, etc.)
To your dog, the family environment is no different to the dog than a dog-pack environment. Your dog has ranked each member of the family, and has his OWN perception of where HE ranks in your environment.
This Labrador Retriever is very dominant and this is what results. He'll fight with dogs, people, anything to prove he is "boss!"
This is where it gets interesting. If your dog perceives himself as higher up on the social totem-pole than other family members, he's going to get cheeky. If he's really got an overinflated sense of his own importance, he'll START TO ACT AGGRESSIVELY. He becomes aggressive to let you know he's in charge.
WHY? Because dominance and AGGRESSION are the exclusive rights of a superior-ranked animal. No underdog would ever show aggression or act dominantly to a higher ranked animal. The consequences would be severe. This is where you get dog aggression.
Resource guarding is a classic example of dominant behavior. It's dog aggression. Only a higher-ranked dog, dominant dog, would act aggressively to defend his resources such as food and toys.
If it was clear to your dog that he was NOT, in fact, the leader of the family, he would never think of trying to prevent you from taking or moving his food or toys. Lower ranking dogs will go along with whatever their masters want. Dog aggression doesn't exist at the bottom of the pack and only dangerous dogs exist at the top of the pack.
Please visit our page: "Become An Alpha Dog."
Others, the ones not accustomed to a lot of physical contact from a very young age, are not comfortable with too much full body contact and will get upset if someone persists in trying to hug them. These are the candidates for dog aggression. There is no room for aggressive dogs in our households.
It all starts in puppyhood. That's the importance of physically handling puppies. They need to get used to humans handling them. They need to realize that humans do not mean harm and that handling is good fun, not something harmful.
Another common cause of handling-induced dog aggression is a bad grooming experience. Nail clipping and bathing are the two main culprits.
When you clip a dog's mails, it's very easy to "quick" him — that is, cut the blood vessel that runs in the center of the nail. This is very painful to the dog, and a sure fire way to cause a long-lasting aversion to those clippers.
Along with the grooming is washing. Some dogs just don't like to be washed. The tendency by dog owners is to restrain the dog in whatever manner causing even more panic on the dog's part.
The dog decides this washing thing is something to be avoided at any cost so the snarling and growling start and the bare teeth come out. Not a good experience for either of you.
Yes, but it is much easier if you start when the dog is a puppy. Handling and rubbing a puppy all over as much as possible is so important.
Young dogs love to be touched and handled. It's the older ones who haven't had much physical contact in their lives that find physical affection and handling difficult to deal with.
For the puppy, practice picking up his paws and touching them with the clippers. Take her in the bath or under the faucet for brief spells, long enough for her to see the water isn't going to harm her.
Use warm water when you can; it's a better experience for the puppy. Give her plenty of praise while this is going on. She will grow up liking water and baths!
Older dogs may have already had unpleasant experiences with grooming and might be a bit more difficult. Take your time and keep the dog calm. If she starts to show stress, stop immediately and let her relax. Give her a little water at a time until she gets the idea water is not going to hurt her. (Somewhere along the line she has had bad experiences with baths and water and maybe grooming.)
Give her a lot of physical touching, but back off when she starts to tense up. If this is a big dog, or especially aggressive, you might want to muzzle her first.
The idea is that she has got to learn that grooming and water are NOT going to harm her. Give lots of praise, petting and treats to get her through this training.
WARNING: Dogs become aggressive for a reason. They are warning you to back off or else! If your dog can't seem to accept being groomed, no matter how much praise you put in, it's best to hand the job over to professionals. Dangerous dogs are not to be fooled with.
Either your vet or groomer will clip your dog's nails. Be SURE to tell them first that dog aggression exists when the clippers come out so they can take the necessary precautions against a potentially dangerous dog.
Dog-grooming (including washing) is a big industry and is done by professional dog groomers. The fee for an average small size dog is around $40—$45 for bath and all. Grooming should be done every 6 to 8 weeks for most breeds.

I can't stop raving about the Whole30. I teach some of the principles to my clients. I am a student of it myself. Really, it's more about being a student to your own body. I believe in this program so much, because it helps you learn what YOUR unique self needs to be optimally healthy. We all have our own issues we need to solve, and the solutions look different for everyone.
The Whole30 can help you discover YOUR solution.
One of the biggest reasons some people do the Whole30 is to kick the sugar habit. This program teaches you to be in tune with your body's signals, and gain awareness of your emotional relationship with certain foods.
This is some really, really valuable stuff!
The first thing I noticed when I started the Whole30, was the joint pain in my shoulders and hands dissipated after only two weeks. I could lift my arms over my head without pain for the first time in over a year. I could open jars again, and my hands didn't hurt after a few minutes of writing in my journal. What a miracle that was!
I wanted to scream it from the rooftops.
The second thing I noticed was my energy. I woke up in the morning feeling refreshed and ready to start my day. I stopped relying on so much caffeine to get me through the day. The Whole30 reset my energy reserves and gave me natural energy for the first time in a long time. The combination of less joint pain and more energy just left me feeling happy over all.
In fact, the word happy doesn't even do it justice. I was elated.
Finally, the food was AMAZING. I learned so much about reading labels, and how to prepare healthy foods. I purchased the Whole30 cookbook and it has become my greatest resource in the kitchen. Every recipe is delicious and easy to make. When you hear the list of things you can't eat on the Whole30, you think, "What CAN you eat?" Paul and I never felt deprived and we felt completely satisfied all of the time. This is definitely a way of eating that is sustainable, nourishing, and restorative.
Ever heard the old phrase, "Food is thy medicine?"
The benefits of doing a reset like this are worth all of the effort it takes. And trust me, it takes some grit! But it is certainly possible… especially if you want it bad enough. If you are sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, and you want to heal your body once and for all… you will do what it takes!
But like I've already mentioned… it's challenging. It stretches you. But it changes you. In my next post, I'm going to share with you some of the things I struggled with during the Whole30.
Make sure to stay tuned!

I started this Mother's Day brunch requirement…errr…. tradition early on. From the time I was pregnant with Hailey I knew that I wanted brunch at Hotel Bethlehem to be my Mother's Day tradition. Unfortunately for me…my husband is not one for doing things like making reservations so for my first Mother's Day the Hotel brunch was booked and we went to the Brew Works instead. The following year, even after persistent nag…err reminders, my husband did not make reservations for the Hotel Bethlehem brunch in time so I made reservations at Bolete. The following year and from that point forward I took matters into my own hands and I make my own Mother's Day brunch reservations at the Hotel Bethlehem each year. Sigh.
Each of the three places has something a bit different to offer, so here are my takes on each of them:
Bethlehem Brew Works. Keep in mind that it's been 4 years since I've had my Mother's Day brunch here so the offering could be a bit different today. They offered a Mother's Day brunch with no reservation requirement. The food was standard brunch fare and they had good Bloody Mary's. Also, the Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission's Art Sale is on Main Street on Monday's so the location is perfect if you want to incorporate this into your Mother's Day as I do every year. Pros: Location, no reservations-perfect for last-minute plans, good drinks, casual, louder atmosphere so if you have real little ones they won't stick out when they start crying, good price, very flexible Cons: Food is ok but standard-doesn't stand out, lacks a special Mother's Day ambiance
Bolete. I was able to get in here with a table for three calling a few weeks before Mother's Day. I called about 1-2 weeks ago as research for this post and they said they had some openings for smaller parties but were not taking any more reservations for larger (6 or more) parties. Bolete's food is amazing and Mother's Day brunch is no exception. This is not a brunch, they offer a special menu with a mix of brunch options, some more breakfasty-others less breakfasty. When I was there it was served as three courses. I had the best blueberry pancake in my life here. On the menu: Blueberry Pancake……$10. Yes it was one pancake (not huge, normal size) for $10. And it was so worth every penny. The food here is farm fresh and cooked to order. I was not a fan of the Mimosas or the Bloody Mary. If you have impatient toddlers it may be challenging. Also, Bolete's location is a short drive to Main St. for the Art Sale, but it's not the same as walking out from Brunch into the middle of the sale. Pros: the food is amazing, small intimate experience, not buffet style, nice Mother's Day ambiance, can generally get reservations weeks ahead rather than months ahead, perfect for families where kids are older. Cons: location (not walkable to other activities like Art Sale), drinks in my opinion were not great, slower service (because food is carefully prepared, cooked to order) may not be ideal for young children, less casual than other options (this can be good or bad depending on your preference), portions are smaller (you will not be stuffed-this can be good too)
Hailey at Mother's Day Brunch, Hotel Bethlehem, 2009
Hotel Bethlehem. Call months ahead for this if you want to get in. Seriously. Months. A few days before Mother's Day you will receive a call from them not only confirming your reservation but asking you to reconfirm the number in your party and to provide credit card information so they can charge you if you don't show up. Because this brunch is in such high demand they want to make sure that not only you show up but that your entire party shows up. I haven't had the experience of showing up without my entire party or not at all so I don't know how well they enforce this but I'm thinking they are serious if they go through the trouble of calling everyone and requiring the credit card info in advance. I must admit this practice put me off a bit but once you are at the brunch it will all be worth it, trust me. If you have been to any Hotel Bethlehem brunch you know that they do a really nice job and they kick it up several notches for Mother's Day. They also have an expanded children's buffet area that included a make your own cupcake station last year. It was super cute. They have coloring activities for the kids to keep them busy too. Hailey loves the formality with the white table clothes and is pretty well-behaved here. She eventually gets over acting like a princess at a formal function and spends most of the remainder of the brunch under the table in her fortress. While the food is buffet style, which I usually find ho-hum, the quality is high. They have the expected omelette and carving stations as well as some surprises, especially in the seafood selection. And when brunch is over you can step straight outside and browse the Art Sale. Pros: Best Mother's Day ambiance of the bunch, cannot beat the location, food is very good, Mimosas and Bloody Mary's are excellent, great for kids of all ages, beautiful views, moderate price, formal feel but you can still be pretty casual here Cons: have to make reservations in advance, not good for go with the flow types (changing number of guests, last-minute cancellations), confirmation process can be off-putting, buffet style (some people like my husband are not a fan of buffets)
If you have any Mother's Day experiences or preferences please share in the comments!

B.A.P Performs "No Mercy" for Music Core Comeback
Rookie group B.A.P makes their comeback performance today on Music Core with "No Mercy."
Their music video for the song was released two days ago, and once again featured a strong and powerful image.
While the mini album was released on July 19, they had to delay the physical release due to a printing error and had to discard 50,000 copies.
Last week they released a short animated music video for "Goodbye" which featured their Matoki bunny characters.
After having a strong debut with "Warrior" in January, they quickly came back with another EP "Power" at the end of April. With the upcoming release of "No Mercy," they have been one of the most active groups this year as they are now entering a third promotion cycle.

Le Petit Grain
A few months ago, I started following an interesting-looking Instagram account of a bakery in Paris that was making all their breads using natural leavenings, rather than commercial yeast. I didn't know anything about it, but not only were they showing impressive loaves of just-baked breads, but they were also experimenting with croissants made with levain (sourdough). The results looked promising.
After they opened, I shot them a message, asking if I could come up and take a look. It was then I got a friendly note back from Edward Delling-Williams, former chef at Au Passage, who now owns Le Grand Bain, in the constantly evolving Belleville neighborhood. I didn't realize he owned the bakery, which is just across the street from his casual restaurant, on what just might be the most undervalued sidestreet in Paris. (Which I'm certain, in a few years, will change.)
The street also boasts – something I'm just tossing out there – my favorite croissant in Paris right now.
The flavor of the croissant hit all the right notes for me. Because they source their flour from an organic mill, the flour tasted of wheat, as good, freshly milled flour should taste like. It was buttery, alright, but there was enough salt in it as well, which is sometimes lacking in croissants. (The salt enhances the buttery flavor.) The croissants aren't as fly-away light as others around town, due to the natural leavening, but the flavor was right up there with the best, surpassing many others out there. The rich butter flavor came right through and I don't mind sacrificing a little air for more butter.
Edward worked at St. Johns in London before moving to Paris, and one of the trademarks at Le Grand Bain has been the homemade bread, a rarity in restaurants. Many three-star places make their own bread but few small restaurants have the space, or inclination, to do it.
Natural leavenings can be tricky to work with, as they're unpredictable. That volatility is fine in bread, where the details aren't so noticeable, but Edward told me their croissants were still evolving, and they found they had to add some yeast to stabilize things until they could nail them down using only levain. I don't mind gaffes in food; pizza doesn't have to be perfectly round for me, a couple of extra-wide holes means the baguette I'm eating didn't come from a factory, and apples that are irregular, but taste great, mean they haven't been bred for looks, but for flavor.
Edward has his hand in many things, including a bun in the oven at home that just sprung forth (his second) and Sakaya Sawaguchi is in charge of bread production. My favorite is the multigrain loaf with plenty of seeds, but the whole wheat sourdough boules are excellent, too.
Edward also wanted his bakery to be anti-gaspillage, or against waste, so they don't use plastic wrap and recycle as much as possible. On my last visit, I inquired about a few jars that seemed to be fermenting on the shelves and they're using bread scraps to make kvas, a drink made with their 100% rye bread.
One thing Edward and I share is a love of Lamingtons, and he couldn't resist adding them to the menu. While the French have adopted burgers and bagels, and kale and quinoa, the individual rectangular cakes from Australia haven't made it here yet. With all the Australian-inspired coffee shops around Paris, their arrival seems long overdue. At last, they're here. (And what good ones they are, too!)
In charge of the pastries is Diana Bush. She works with Edward to decide what's on offer in the bakery case, which includes a number of pastries topped with tomatoes and chèvre, roasted eggplant, and mini focaccia, for savory snacking.
On the sweet side, the pastries riff on classics; rolling sesame seeds in Kouign amann; adding a dusting of cinnamon to buttery brioche, and fresh figs roasted atop Bakewell tarts, layered with jam and frangipane.
Our favorites of all, though, were the tartes cacahuètes. Bowls of peanuts are standard fare on the counters of bars and cafés in France, during the afternoon, when people are drinking apéros, but they don't make appearances in French bakeries very often. They're considered something to munch on when drinking a beer, not something to bake into a tart.
The ones at Le Petit Grain, with their soft marshmallow topping and buttery crust (which I didn't get a picture because we attacked it), but let me assure you, are one of the best pastries in Paris. Even my peanut-averse Parisian partner remarked on how good it was not once, but two times, while we were eating it.

I want your life! Love, LOVE your posts… a momentary escape that never disappoints. Thank you David!
Nothing better than a fresh lamington❤ Thanks for sharing
Bonjour David, you never disappoint with your way of writing and how you invited us right into Le Petit Grain. Oh, how I wish I could be there to enjoy all of the goodies mentioned.
Thanks for keeping us informed and wanting more and more of these delicious details. Coco
I would kill for bread like that.
Decent bread disappeared in the States years ago.
Good morning, David You make me wish I was back in Paris. I delivered your signed copy of "L'Appart" to Darina. When she was last in the States, she saw an article promoting it! She was thrilled to have a copy and particularly, a signed one. Thank you! Her new book just arrived AFTER we left, so when I'm next there in April, I'll pick up one for you!!!! Blessings on your day, Marianne
Bookmarked! I am very excited to seek out this bakery in Belleville, which I have started to explore on my recent visits. Especially the sourdough croissants. Oh, and the tartes cacahuètes. Thank you for the super guidance, as always.
Be still my heart!
I love croissants but like so many of my friends of a similar age I have developed an intolerance ( only that) to what ? Flour, yeasts; all I know is that only properly made sourdough works for me in terms of bread. In the UK even good bakeries aren't making sourdough croissants, and that's despite me bending the ear of every good Baker I have met this year about the popular demand for these. Mostly they look pretty bemused when I talk about the possibility.if this bakery in Paris is cracking the code I shall be first in line. Please tell them to keep on working at it!
Thank you.
Yum. Will get there in the next few days.
I love sourdough. Although everything in the photos looks picture perfect, I agree that misshapen things often are tastier.
In my village bakery, the baguettes are handed out without any wrapper, and in town they are encircled with a hand-sized bit of paper. Maybe getting one's baguette home clean in Paris is more challenging. But I'm glad they are making the anti-gaspillage effort.
Ahhhhh – I loved the article but was so excited to get the recipe. I live in the states so won't be eating these anytime soon. Disappointment reigns.
Such a timely post for me. I've been working on my own sourdough at home for a year and have a good starter and dependable loaf conquered. However, the sweet ones are proving difficult. So I shall look for a follow-up on this bakery next year.
The only way you can get a truly yeast-free loaf in the states is to make your own in most places. Brooklyn, Vermont, and LA may be exceptions. It's a learning curve that doesn't allow shortcuts, but so rewarding when accomplished.
Thank you for telling us where great bread can be found in Paris.
Oh, and by the way, the picture of the handsome and lean baker proves bread does NOT make you fat! The right fermented bread, that is!
I have started making natural leavened bread, but I'm just a novice. My dream would be to make a loaf like that whole grain one you show in the photo. Maybe you could ask them for the recipe and share with us . . . In the mean time I may need to go back to Paris!
There is an American website with a homestyle baker who does only sourdough and natural levain. He has some very detailed baking guides that you may find useful. Most informative.
theperfectloaf.com Good luck with your baking!
Thank you Allison S.!
I see what you mean David. I do have books by some of those authors, and will look through them. And you have me intrigued by the Martin Philip book. Thanks for your response!
Hi David
I'm an Australian (Melburnian) in Belleville and will definitely be visiting this establishment ASAP! Merci!
Lamingtons ! Just found a Kiwi bakery in Windsor, Sonoma County that turns out the best ive ever had. Great breads too. Burtonz consistently wins awards for their baking. Ok, enough on California food.
What a find! The wholegrain loaf looks seriously grainy. The last pic of a twirly pastry looks like it has cinnamon, a rare find in Paris. Is it svp? Belleville is my old turf…I will def go cinnamon or not. Thanks David
Ahh, lamingtons! Takes me back to the school fetes of my Sydney childhood! You can't get them in Saint Louis where I live now, so do you have a good recipe? Btw, I made your Plum Flaugnarde on Sunday and my husband and I ate the whole thing at one go….it was utterly gorgeous. Love your recipes and your books, and your posts from Paris, my favorite city in the world after Sydney!
you are the best!
going to Paris in early October – must visit this bakery! thanks, David!
I heard an interview with Edward on the New Paris podcast. This was a great accompaniment. Thanks!
What a lovely post, thank you! So good to learn about new places, and in such a beautifully written article. Gorgeous photos. I felt like I was right inside the bakery. Cheers!
Yum yum yum yum yum.
I am an evolving bread maker, making sourdough every 2 weeks and a whole grain bread here and there.
I've made croissants too- whew, pretty time consuming. And, I've made your Jerusalem bagels ( well not yours, but from your blog)-soo good.
Thanks for keeping me inspired.
Oh wow, the lamington's and bakewells made me think of this Dan Barber interview on fresh bread below. I also love his mad2 talk on wheat – have you watched that (also on YTube)? It is incredibly interesting.
Dan Barber (chef at Blue Hill) on why fresh bread is better:
Can´t you please go again and photograph the peanut wonder? Half eaten would be OK too… sounds wonderful…
Another wonderful post of yours to pin on my Paris board and wishing I was there.
I'm intrigued by the idea of a sourdough croissant – got to give that a try! By all means, let's make croissants even more difficult:). This may be unorthodox, but I don't think sourdough = heavier is necessarily always the case. I make a 100% wholemeal sourdough loaf that's not only light but far lighter than any I ever made with yeast.
Hi David,
A friend asked me to bring pumpkin ice cream to her party so I used your recipe — it went together just fine and is chilling overnight before I freeze it. It tastes wonderful — like pumpkin pie — and is a beautiful caramel color, thanks!
Hi David,
The most attractive picture was one of Edward with the biceps:)
Bonjour! Sorry to say that I am very disappointed by the bread I eat in Paris. Maybe the enormous quantity of butter, or any kind of grease, insipid and expensive. I have been eating better, cheap compared with the Parisien and with more flavor in Mexico – any "panaderia" in Mexico make a better bread.
Bonjour and bonne journe
Oh, if I could be in Paris. (With a healthy bank account.) David, your photography is beyond exemplary.
David, glad to see more people embracing kvass. In fact, you can use any bread to make it and toasted bread scraps also change the flavour. My grandmother had a clay jug on the go and she did judt as those guys do- ang bread scraos go to chooks ir in kvass jug.
On a subject of lamingtons, I highly recommend trying orange jelly as a dipping instead of chocolate. I came across this idea in "Salt Grill" by Luke Mangan and I'd say it's good enough even for die hard Lamington traditionalists.
What a fabulous post and the pastries just made me so hungry! Especially love that multigrain bread & lamington's.
This was our first stop in Paris after getting off the red eye from Boston. The kouign amann was delicious, as was a savory cheese pastry. (The coffee shop/ book store on the corner did not make good coffee.) Le Grand Bain was wonderful as well. The gougere with lardo were outstanding.
In the same neighborhood, we loved La Cave de Belleville. We did not have a reservation, so we just sat at one of the tables in the shop and had a burrata drizzled with walnut oil, octopus, and oil poached sardines. I will look forward to going back to the neighborhood again.

I grew up in a small town in the province of Vicenza, Italy, a place Santa Claus bypassed. Christmas was the day we celebrated the birth of Jesus. Our pine trees remained planted in the ground. They were gorgeous, hardy evergreens with not a tinsel in sight but decorated just as lovely in their blanket of snow. And in December we got plenty of snow. White Christmas was the norm, but there weren't any gifts on that day. It didn't matter if you'd been naughty or nice.
Before you start feeling sorry for us, let me explain. We did receive gifts, just not on Christmas day. Our delivery date was January 6th, by no means a random date. According to the Catholic Church, January 6th was the day of the Epiphany, the day the three wise men visited baby Jesus. And those dudes didn't show up empty-handed.
Since we were short on wise men, an old woman delivered our presents. We called the old woman La Befana, the Witch. Supposedly, she was a good witch who traveled by broom and dropped presents down the chimneys of boys and girls on the night of January 5th. The naughty kids would get coal of course¾that must be universal. It certainly gives coal a bad rep.
As we approached the illustrious kindergarten years, my brother and I began to question the existence of this Befana, and we were very vocal about it. Well, I was vocal. My brother was always the silent, brooding type.
One late evening, after New Year's Day, we sat in the kitchen, the only warm room in the house. My grandmother was telling a story to my brother, my two little cousins and me. Of course the subject of the story was…La Befana.
Grandmother's kitchen had a large fireplace where legend said the good witch should drop the presents. The fireplace hadn't been lit in a long time because my grandparents had the latest in modern comforts, a wood stove!
I was particularly skeptical about the existence of the Befana that night, which usually annoyed my grandmother. Not that evening, she only smiled and continued her story. That made me suspicious. I sensed something brewing. My grandmother's smiles were a wondrous, but extremely rare occurrence.
And then I heard a noise like a cat scratching a wall, the chimney wall!!! Oh, oh! I waited for grandmother to say something, but she just kept on talking. I was the only one staring at the fireplace and getting more antsy by the minute. There it was again, the same noise, louder.
"Nonna, Nonna, someone is in the chimney. Don't you hear the scratching?"
"Don't be silly, La Befana isn't due for two more days."
Hmm, there was that peculiar smile again.
Finally, I had the attention of my brother and my cousins. They whispered to each other. My brother elbowed me. "Go look."
"I'm not going to look. You go." I elbowed him back.
"You're the one with all the questions. This is a good time to get your answers, unless you are scared."
"Scared of what?" It was hard to keep my voice steady. "I've been nice…"
Everyone looked at me. What? They didn't agree with my statement?
"Well," I conceded. "Most of the time."
Fine. I would show them. My grandmother made a funny little noise as I stood, stepped on the hearth and defiantly stuck my head inside the fireplace, face upturned.
What felt like millions of pebble-like objects hit my head. I jerked back and screamed so loud if the Befana was up there, I caused serious damage to her ears.
As it turned out, they weren't pebbles, and there weren't millions. They were hard candies, a little over a dozen. While I stood rubbing my scalp, my brother and cousins ran over in delight snatching up every last one. I spent the rest of the evening pouting.
Years later, I learned my grandparents were in cahoots with my great uncle who climbed up on the roof and threw down the candies.
Of course, I wasn't supposed to have my head stuck up the fireplace at the time.
La befana vien di notte
e col sacco pien di doni
per donarli ai bimbi buoni!

Raised in a small farming community nestled under the Tetons in the upper Snake Valley of Southeastern Idaho, Bruce Brainard draws inspiration from the early American Landscape artist George Inness and artists associated with the Luminist movement, and the spiritual Romanticist Caspar David Friedrich.
Adding his own distinctive contemporary perspective, he creates landscapes and seascapes metaphorically, using symbols and archetypes. Bruce has worked professionally as an artist for over for over 25 years and his work is included in many collections throughout the United States. Bruce loves to paint and feels that art can have great power. He believes as George Innis said that art is "a language to express thought" and as Picasso said, "The purpose of art is to express the great emotions." He has the found the most profound emotions aren't necessarily the loud, the sentimental, or even the profane, but rather the quiet, the authentic, and the sacred. He uses the landscape and seascape to try and express these emotions.

Also standing out amid the lines of trunks, branches, and power lines: a clump of leaves halfway up the tallest tree that must be a squirrel's nest, also called a drey. Odd words like that stick in my head. I've tried looking it up to find out where it came from, but other than learning that you could also name your baby boy Drey, it appears to be of unknown origin.

When I was very young, my mother would read me a picture book called "Miss Suzy." (I just looked it up on Amazon and it's still in print! It's now in my shopping cart.) The plot line was fairly simple. Miss Suzy was a grey squirrel who lived in a neat house in a tree, until some mean red squirrels chased her out and messed up her house. Some toy soldiers fought them off and somehow helped Miss Suzy find a new home. I mostly remember being enchanted by her little acorn cups and twig broom. Even now when I see a squirrel's nest I can't help but wonder what's inside. And how does more than one squirrel fit in there, anyway?
Clump of leaves and twigs,
somehow sheltering squirrels.
What makes a home "home"?
