With no impact starting pitcher on the market and the top left-handed reliever (Brad Hand) off the market, Brian Cashman swung a deal with the Baltimore Orioles to acquire their dominant closer Zach Britton. Britton comes to the Yanks in exchange for Cody Carroll (AAA, No. 15 prospect), Josh Rogers (AAA, unranked) and Dillon Tate (AA, No. 9 prospect).
Britton gives the Yankees yet another power arm in their bullpen, and a much-needed presence from the left side. Since becoming a full-time reliever in 2014, he has a 1.72 ERA and has racked up 139 saves for Baltimore. The most home runs he has ever allowed in a season is four, and that came in 2014.
Britton relies on three pitches:
- Sinker (93.1%) – avg. 94.4 mph
- Slider (5.6%) – avg. 80.7 mph
- Four Seamer (1.2%) – avg. 93.3 mph
He'll likely become a co-setup man with Dellin Betances, being used much like Andrew Miller was deployed in 2015 and 2016. He'll start off as a one-inning guy, having only pitched more than one inning 10 times since the beginning of 2016.
Going the other way are the Yankees' Nos. 9 and 15 prospects in Tate and Carroll. Rogers is unranked by MLB Pipeline. All three would have been caught up in the inevitable 40-man roster crunch at the end of the year. Brian Cashman normally does his best to maximize their value rather than lose them for nothing in the Rule 5 Draft.
Dillon Tate, the No. 4 pick in the 2015 draft, came to the Yankees at the 2016 trade deadline from the Texas Rangers in the Carlos Beltrán trade alongside Erik Swanson and Nick Green. In 15 starts for Double-A Trenton, he had a 5-2 record and 3.38 ERA. Per his scouting report, "Whether Tate will wind up as a starter or reliever is unclear. Though he throws strikes with all four of his pitches, he doesn't miss as many bats as he should with his pure stuff, which could play up in shorter stints."
Cody Carroll was drafted in the 22nd round by the Yankees in 2015. He had nine saves for the RailRiders and a 2.38 ERA in 32 bullpen appearances. He reportedly sits "at 96-98 mph and touches 101" with his fastball. If he can master his mechanics, "he could serve as a high-leverage reliever and perhaps even a closer at the big league level."
Josh Rogers was an 11th round pick of the Yankees in that same 2015 draft. He really put it together for Triple-A SWB in the first half of the season. He went 5-3 with a stellar 2.45 ERA through the first two months of the season. However, the wheels have fallen off a bit since June began. Rogers has a 1-5 record and 5.85 ERA in nine starts since then. He is known as a crafty lefty, with four pitches that need to be precise in order for him to succeed.
That trade feeling began to arise early in the evening when Tate, who had just been activated from the disabled list with a quad injury, was a healthy scratch for Double-A Trenton. The Yankees had been connected to Britton for a few days, though not in any capacity that would suggest a trade was close. That momentum grew Tuesday morning, and became much more apparent with Tate's apparent scratch to keep him healthy.
Just like the Jeurys Familia situation in the Bronx last week, Britton did not warm up for the Orioles in a save situation against Boston. He sat in the bullpen one last time and watched Brad Brach get the final three outs in what would prove to be his final few minutes in black and orange.

Aug 24, 2004 - Sep 21, 2005
Curated By
Martha W. Longenecker
The exhibition was funded in part by the County of San Diego Community Enhancement Program
This was a world-encompassing, cross-cultural exhibition of man's oldest and smallest portable art form — the bead. The exhibition, which includes beads from some 40 cultures, was inspired by and based on The History of Beads by Lois Sherr Dubin. The concise edition of her book served as the catalogue.
Focusing on the finest examples of work from ancient to modern times, the exhibition offered an awareness of the extraordinary beauty of beads and the diversity of materials and techniques in beadwork. Beads reveal much about cultures by the many ways they have been used: as talismans in ancient and modern societies; as religious objects in the Buddhist, Christian and Islamic worlds; as symbols of affluence; and as a standard, cross-cultural medium of barter throughout the world.
A beaded globe, four feet in diameter, hung at the entrance to the exhibition. It was created by a family of Huichol Indians from the Mexican State of Jalisco in 1997 at Mingei International's Balboa Park location. Also on view are ojime and netsuke from Japan, a collection of European beaded evening bags, and, a complete Ndebele bride's costume from South Africa. Not to be missed were a grand Yoruba Chief's robe, completely covered with beads, and three one-of-kind beaded garments by contemporary New York artist Sandra Rubel, one of which was decorated with sparkling images of the Empire State Building and World Trade Center.
Playing throughout the run of the exhibition was Mingei International's film of the same name.

Louth: First-time buyers busy at new Louth developments
Following a very buoyant 2014, Brian Carroll of Sherry FitzGerald Carroll in Dundalk believes that the market in Louth has been considerably affected by the new Central Bank lending restrictions whereby purchasers need to come up with a 20pc deposit for properties over €220,000.
"The market took over six months to adjust and we subsequently noticed a change of pace in the middle of 2015, with buyers re-emerging and quite a lot of activity ensued in all sectors of the market," says Carroll.
"The second half of the year continued to show a high level of viewings, offers and sales, albeit from a limited pool of people chasing a very restricted supply." This resulted in prices rising by a very strong 9pc and the local agent predicting a 7pc increase in prices for 2016.
The strongest interest, according to Carroll was in the €125,000-€175,000 price bracket, with three-bed semis selling for over 15pc of their guide prices.
First-time buyers are the strongest market in Louth, which Carroll attributes to the high employment rates from large-scale employers like PayPal, eBay and National Pen. Dundalk IT also brings in a number of students who contribute to the strong rental market. At present, the breakdown of owner-occupier to investors in Louth is at 74pc versus 18pc.
Unlike other counties, Louth has seen some new developments over the past 12 months and nearly 35pc of sales for Sherry FitzGerald Carroll in 2015 were for new homes. "We currently have three active building sites with a high volume of sales carried out throughout the year," says Carroll.
"Two developments in Dundalk, Carlinn Hall and Marlmount, have proven to be very successful with buyers in terms of house style, layout and price."
It's predicted that the market in Louth will continue to grow this year at a rate of about 7pc.

Poloniex, the exchange Circle has been working to revive since acquiring it in February, announced in a blog that it will eliminate its margin and lending products for U.S. customers by year's end and delist three altcoins. The company noted it is removing the margin and lending products in the U.S. to ensure the exchange complies with regulatory requirements, although it did not specify what requirements.
As of Oct. 10 at 12:00 ET, the exchange will delist GNO (Gnosis), AMP (Synereo) and EXP (Expanse). Customers will be able to close out all trades and withdraw balances for these assets up until Nov. 9 at 12:00 ET. Market caps on Oct. 4 were $23,992,956 for Gnosis, $,137,016 for Synereo and $3,125,636 for Expanse, according to coinmarketcap.com.
Customers Urged To Withdraw Funds
After Nov. 9 at 12:00, Poloniex will not be able to process withdrawals of affected assets. Holders of the affected assets will have 30 days to withdraw funds. The deadlines could be extended in the event that wallet availability gets interrupted. Contract holders will be notified of such an event via email.
Poloniex will secure delisted funds in cold storage in the event that customers cannot make withdrawals due to reasons beyond its control, such as a network going offline. The funds will be secured for a "reasonable" period so customers can withdraw funds when the network becomes operational.
Poloniex did not announce a final date for removing its margin and lending products for U.S. customers, but said it will provide customers seven days advance notice before removing a market.
Existing loans will remain open and interest will accrue for the previously specified duration.

There were also complaints about Poloniex's customer service posted on Reddit prior to the acquisition.

We are working on public facing site in SharePoint 2010 where we need to display the external content in SharePoint site. So this week of SharePoint links [July 5] edition is to share the useful links we come across while working/learning SharePoint 2010, Business connectivity services and security related issues.
Most of the below information We would like to share the useful links we have come across from the web, hope that the below links will be useful for you.
If you are planning to develop solutions using Business connectivity services(BCS), then this is one of the best resource to check out. In this article author explains about what are the important considerations you have to make while developing BCS solutions in SharePoint, especially if you are SharePoint developer.
In this article, you can learn about what is BCS, various terminology related to BCS. If you are new to BCS, then this would great article to start with.
This is one of the common security error you will get when you are working with BCS. This article explains about the permissions you need to provide to your content type from Business connectivity service application from central admin.
While we are working with SharePoint 2010 public facing site, this is one of the requirement where sharepoint pages should not have the extensions for SEO. There are couple of rule we need to write in IIS to achieve this functionality. Read more about the details in the above link. Hope this will help someone who are looking for extension less urls.
This is common approach using Powershell when you are deploying multiple WSPs in SharePoint environment or removing the existing one and deploying the updated WSp. The approach is whenever we deploy multiple WSPs we need to wait for timer job to be complete execution of Install-SPSolution command to install the WSP and Uninstall-SPSolution command for uninstalling the WSPs .
You are welcome to share the useful SharePoint links that you come across while working or learning with SharePoint. Please leave a comment or send me an email at email@example.com in Advance.

We tasted La Niña del Mezcal Bacanora D.O. at Meeting No. 47 on May 26, 2016. We rated it very highly at 3.68 out of 5. La Niña del Mezcal Bacanora D.O. ranks 6th overall in Mezcal. At a street price of $80, this spirit is on the pricier side, but well worth the money.
Brian W. • 5/26/2016 • 4.0
Smells of scotch tape adhesive with a hint of orange starburst candy. Definitely more of a kick on this one but very good…classic agave peppery taste
Chris • 5/26/2016 • 4.0
Smells like the lumber section of Home Depot. Drinks a lot better than lumber would though, very nice.
Cy • 5/26/2016 • 3.5
More of a Tequila nose with a light mezcal smoke. Pretty good hybrid of Tequila / Mezcal flavors.
Greg • 5/26/2016 • 3.5
Rich, full, zesty, sweet, anise-but-not-really, boozy. Good evening sipper.
Keith • 5/26/2016 • 2.0
Tequila hangover headache on the nose. Spiky punch up front, like eating a sea urchin. Hot middle and cool finish, like a day in the Sonoran desert. The best of the mezcal mess. I'm not an agave fan.

With the party fractured a hunt into to the unknown begins. Fellowship was the start of the physical journey for this story, but The Two Towers is the start of personal journeys and transformations. Aragorn is beginning to actually long for his birthright rather than shy away from it. Gondor is calling, even if self-doubt still has him in a strong grip. We also get inklings of the intelligence and wit of Merry and Pippin. And we witness signs of changes in the world at large, one where the Lady Galadriel is considered little more than a fable, that word of Gandalf's passing is met with little woe, and of looming threats and shadows.
That the men of Rohan are both cautious and proud surprises me not. They have as of yet remained free of war and excel in the husbandry of horses like no other. Wealth such as their herds breeds caution in the best of times, let alone ill time such as these. Eomer is however an example of nobility and wisdom, catching in that "Strider" is more than he claims and then doing the unthinkable and lending horses to the party so that they may pursue their quarry. In modern day we think of horses as expensive, but our concept of their worth is nothing compared to what it is in a pre-industrial society. He's not doing the medieval equivalent of lending his car to a stranger, it's a lot more serious than that.
Personally, I find it a bit interesting that they lose the trail, even if they can deduce where it goes. A horde of orcs does not make for exactly subtle passing. But listening to the earth is a neat trick, and I can't help but laugh at "this is the way that the Orcs went after their debate." There's a lot of good wit in this chapter, not just calling the orc in-fighting. The barbed exchanges between Gimli, Legolas, and Eomer are fantastic.
Rohan is in a bind. Like anyone sane they wish to remain free of war, and they're far enough away from the front that they still have the illusion that neutrality is an option. But that illusion is close to shattering, and Eomer is at least peripherally aware of it, even if it's not something he wants to admit. He's not out hunting orcs under guidance, he's out hunting down the marauding band on his own initiative because orders would not be given. Likewise their herds have been raided by agents of Sauron when sale of mounts was refused, and they live in fear of Saruman and the shadow of the White Tower.
As for the king's displeasure with Gandalf, I feel like Gandalf acted a bit out of trickster spite and necessity. Necessity due to his imprisonment, the dire nature of his news, and limited options due to the dismissal by the king of the news. Making off with the king stallion means the best mount to carry him out, but also was likely a calculated choice. In defense of their judgement of Gandalf, he is often a bringer of trouble and bother, but as a meddler rather than as the source. All that being said, to the men of Rohan (and to most of Middle Earth), Gandalf is a well-traveled man with esoteric knowledge who has some unique surprises up his sleeves. The loss of Boromir is far more recognizable as a tragedy for them.
Ignorance and misinformation is rife in this chapter. Some of it is benign, beings so removed from the lives of the other races that they are considered legend if they're even known of. Hobbits seem to have worked hard on retreating from the world at large, and so that the name "hobbit" is met with confusion and "halfling" as something from a fairy tale. I can understand the knowledge passing by men, their lives are so much shorter than those of the other races. It is surprising to me that a wood-elf such as Legolas, young for his race but still long in years, would have little familiarity with the lore of ents beyond speculation and rumor. But are the rumors and suspicions regarding Galadriel a sign of the elven withdrawal or of Saron's meddling? And what is the dangerous difference between a wizard and a sorcerer that causes the men of Rohan such suspicion at how they may have earned Galadriel's favor?
Perhaps the most profound statement to me in the chapter is this, "The counsel of Gandalf was not founded on foreknowledge of safety, for himself or for others."
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers has been rated PG-13 for epic battle sequences and scary imagery.
Beyond the shifting of chapter one to the first movie, the film of The Two Towers really doesn't start at the same point. In fact, it starts with the conflict between Gandalf and the Balrog, fighting as they fall, and Frodo waking from a dream. From there I'm skipping forward several scenes, as the film then continues first with Samwise and Frodo, then to Merry and Pippin, before coming around to chapter two. Cinematically this serves to strongly hook us with this continuing story, as well as working around the issues of chronology in a story that jumps around, and the segregation the fellowship halves between books three and four. The movie wouldn't have worked out had Jackson ignored Frodo and Sam until halfway through.
The hunting and tracking is far more concise, but the three don't fall so far behind. The patter between Gimli and Legolas has really found it's stride, adding a level of engagement that draws us in.
Jackson adds in a build up that the books lack, or that they only show through Gandalf's exposition. Saruman is actively building up the conflict against Rohan, putting himself on a pedestal as Sauron's equal, and tying into the war-industry of Tolkien's time, "The old world will burn in the fires of industry!"
There is also no question about the corruption of King Theodin, and the power of Grima Wormtongue over the court. We know how wrong things are in Rohan, and Eomer isn't just leading a hunting party but has been banished.
The appearance of the Riders is way more impressive in the film than in the book, it's easy to forget how large war horses are. The look on Aragorn's face when Gimli demands a name of Eomer is priceless, that expression of "you're not helping" reads so clear. Jackson also cut out much of the posturing and discussion between the two groups, cutting neatly into continuing action, the finding of the burning corpses, and the infamous "Viggo breaks his toe" scene.
Tracking the narrative from the book to the film will be a challenge, so I may miss sections going forward, but I'll do my best to follow it all.

"How to Put on a Condom": A Home Visit for HIV Testing
Kenya 2012
June 25, 2012
Also published at Impatient Optimists
We trail along with two HIV home-visit health workers who work with the CDC Kenya (Centers for Disease Control) to visit with a family in a remote area in the Nyanza province. "Mama Christina" is the 80 year old grandmother living in one mud-walled, thatched roof home, her children and their families live in the others, all surrounding a big open field with emaciated cows feasting on the grass.
Christina asks one of the health workers why she needs to be tested for HIV again. She was just tested 3 years ago, she tells them, and she's not sexually active. But, as the CDC health workers explain to her, there are other ways to contract HIV. As well, they say, they want to teach her how to protect against contracting HIV; in particular so that she has the knowledge to help her children and young grandchildren, when they are old enough, protect themselves.

You have not lived until you've seen an 80 year old woman being taught how to put a condom on a large, wooden phallus. She patiently watches, asks some questions, and seems relieved when we're done. She can now introduce us to all of the family members waiting to meet us outside.
The CDC Kenya is located outside of the small city of Kisumu. Behind armed gates, lie multiple office buildings and research sites. The center is responsible for most of what goes on when it comes to HIV/AIDS research and other health-related issues in this country: what prevention and treatment methods work, monitoring the number of new HIV/AIDS cases, implementing those treatment and prevention methods (including voluntary medical male circumcision, distribution of condoms, and anti-retrovirals for treatment), and maternal and newborn health issues which are directly connected to HIV (like prevention of mother-to-child transmission). One-third of the total resources for HIV/AIDS that come to Kenya, actually come to the CDC (and USAID); half a billion dollars, in fact.
The CDC Kenya employs hundreds of Kenyan scientists, as well. In this area—the Nyanza province—the HIV rate is double that of the rest of the country, people are living longer with HIV and so need more treatment (500,000 people in Kenya are currently on treatment), and there are more new infections than there are resources; clearly, funding is desperately needed to keep up.
HIV testing of those who live in desperately poor circumstances in this rural region where people live far away from testing sites, with no money for transportation, is a big issue. So the CDC Kenya, in partnership with KEMRI (Kenya Medical Research Institute), conducts home-based testing. In fact, every two weeks they visit 25,000 people in the area to monitor their health circumstances.
After a round of greetings and photos with Christina's family, the delegation of bloggers from around the world with whom I'm traveling heads out leaving the health workers to visit with the other family members, provide HIV tests for the adults, talk about using condoms and continue working to prevent and treat HIV, home by home, person by person.
Amie Newman is the editor of Impatient Optimists, the blog of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. She traveled to Kenya on a 2012 IRP trip that focused on reproductive health.

Sir Arthur Dudley Dobson (9 September 1841 – 5 March 1934) was a pioneer surveyor, engineer and explorer. Born in London, he came to Lyttelton, New Zealand in 1850 on one of the First Four Ships. He is best known for taking the first party of Europeans over Arthur's Pass.
Early life[edit]
Arthur Dudley Dobson was born in Islington, London, in 1841. He was the son of Edward Dobson (1816–1908) and Mary Ann, née Lough. His father was a surveyor and railway engineer, which had a major influence on his life. He received his early education in Nottingham.[1]
When the railway boom ended in England, his father decided to emigrate to New Zealand. He purchased land from the Canterbury Association and sailed to the colony on the Cressy, one of the First Four Ships. The Cressy arrived in Lyttelton on 27 December 1850.[2] He took his two oldest boys with him, George (1840–1866) and Arthur.[1]
His father found that life in the new colony with two young sons was challenging, and they were sent to their uncle, Reverend Charles Dobson, the vicar of Buckland in Tasmania, where they stayed for three years. On their return journey, they landed in Nelson, where they stayed with another uncle, Alfred Dobson. He was surveying the Nelson region and soon after became the Nelson provincial surveyor.[3]
Meanwhile, his mother had arrived on the Fatima, which had landed in Lyttelton exactly one year after them, on 27 December 1851.[4] She had the other children with her: Mary Ann (1844–1913), Caroline (1845–1932), Edward Henry (1847–1934) and Maria Eliza (b. 1848). His remaining siblings were born in New Zealand: Robert (1852–1893), Emily Frances (1857–1943), Herbert Alex (1860–1948) and Collet Barker (1861–1926).[5]
As his father had been appointed Canterbury provincial engineer in 1854, the financial situation improved, and the boys were sent to Christ's College, then the best school in Christchurch.[3] Prior to this, Arthur was taught by the Reverend G. Cotterill in Lyttelton.[6]
Professional career[edit]
After he finished his schooling, he was apprenticed with his father.[1][3] An early task for the father and son team was to determine the depth of mud in Lyttelton Harbour. They then surveyed the Rangiora main drain, which resulted in reclaiming 20,000 acres (81 km2) of swamp land.[1]
Arthur Dobson spent several months surveying in North Canterbury, reaching Lake Sumner and the Hurunui River. From December 1860, he spent two years with the German immigrant geologist Julius von Haast.[1] Haast was appointed provincial geologist in February 1861, and he undertook much geological work with Dobson.[7] The two undertook geological surveys, explored and surveyed the Kowai River, explored the Southern Alps and its glaciers and tried climbing mountains, succeeding with Mount Torlesse but failing to scale Mt Cook.[1]
His father supervised the construction of the Ferrymead Railway, connecting the wharf in Ferrymead with Christchurch and opening on 1 December 1863.[8] This was New Zealand's first public railway.[9] A telegraph line was built along the rail corridor between Lyttelton and Christchurch,[1] and when it opened on 1 July 1862, it was the first telegraph line in New Zealand. New Zealand Post celebrated the centenary with the publication of two commemorative stamps.[10][11]
His father's most important project was the superintendency of the Lyttelton Rail Tunnel, an engineering feat that is recognised with a Category I heritage protection by Heritage New Zealand.[12] Arthur Dobson prepared many of the sectional drawings.[1]
In 1863, he went to the mostly unexplored West Coast of the South Island for seven months of survey work. His area of work extended from the Grey River to Abut Head, and inland up to the Main Divide. His brother Edward, meanwhile, was clearing a rough track over Harper Pass. Arthur Dobson returned to Christchurch and reported his findings to the chief surveyor, Thomas Cass.[3]
Cass then commissioned Arthur Dobson in 1864 to find out whether there is a suitable pass from the Waimakariri watershed to the West Coast. George and Arthur Dobson set out in March 1864, later to be joined by their brother Edward at Craigieburn. While George surveyed road lines there, Edward and Arthur proceeded to explore the high country. On the advice of West Coast Māori chief Tarapuhi, they found a pass that steeply descended to what became known as Otira; the route had long been used by Māori for trading pounamu. Arthur prepared a report, which included a sketch of the unnamed pass, and presented it to Cass.[1][13]
Soon after, the discovery of gold triggered the West Coast Gold Rush. Edward Dobson was commissioned to examine every possible pass to the West Coast from the watersheds of the Waimakariri, Taramakau and Hurunui Rivers. After finishing his examination, he declared that "Arthur's pass" was by far the most suitable to get to the gold fields.[3] The provincial government decided that a road was to be built between Christchurch and Hokitika, a distance of 156 miles (251 km), and Edward Dobson was put in charge of the project.[3] The road was opened on 20 March 1866.[1] The alpine pass became known as Arthur's Pass, with a nearby village and a later a national park also taking this name.[13]
On 1 October 1866, Arthur Dobson was appointed assistant provincial engineer for Nelson. Soon after, he married and started a family. The following year, he explored the Motueka and Karamea districts,[1] and surveyed a track over the Mount Arthur Range.[3] In April 1869, he became the district engineer for the West Coast gold fields that were located within the Nelson Province, with him being based in Westport.[3] In May 1871, he was promoted to provincial engineer, and in December of that year he became chief surveyor. While still employed by the Nelson Province, he was put in charge of railway construction in Westport by the government in October 1872.[1]
He resigned his roles with the Nelson Province in 1875 over a change in provincial government.[1] He was then appointed by central government as the district engineer for Nelson, with responsibility for railway construction. He mapped the Westport coalfields with James Hector.[3]
In 1884, he went to London, where he had many interests, all fed by his London life; met botanists, geologists, went to concerts and galleries, and took lessons in the flute. When he returned to New Zealand in 1885 the depression changed his circumstances: he worked in Victoria until 1889, returned to New Zealand and took over his father's business.[1]
He was Christchurch City Engineer from 1901 to 1921.[3] He was appointed a Knight Bachelor in the 1931 New Year Honours.[14]
Family, death and commemoration[edit]
Dobson married Eleanor, the daughter of the Nelson Provincial Council survey staff member Henry Lewis, on 20 November 1866 at Nelson. They had four children.[1]
Haast became Dobson's brother in law on 25 June 1863, by marrying his sister Mary at St Mary's Church in Heathcote Valley. The couple had four sons and a daughter.[7]
His first son Arthur George Dobson, Selwyn County engineer, died on 17 January 1905 (aged 37) after having been thrown from a cart. He was buried at Linwood Cemetery two days later.[15][16]
His wife died on 27 September 1930, aged 83 years.[17] His second son, Ernest Henry Dobson, also died before him. He is also buried in Linwood Cemetery (but in a different area of it), having died on 16 October 1931. He was interred the following day.[18] His headstone reads: "In loving memory of Ernest Henry beloved husband of Elizabeth Mary DOBSON and second son of Sir Arthur Dudley and the late Eleanor DOBSON Died 16th October 1931 aged 62 years At rest"[19]
Arthur Dobson died on 5 March 1934 at Christchurch of cardiac arrest. He was buried at Linwood Cemetery the following day in the same plot as his first son and his wife.[20] His tombstone reads:[21]
Sir Arthur Dudley Dobson K.B. d 5 March 1934 aged 92. Discoverer of Arthur's Pass, 1863. District Engineer, Nelson-Westport goldfield 1878. City Engineer of Christchurch from 1901 to 1921.
Arthur's Pass was named by his father for him, and the village and the National Park are derived from his name, too.[1] A memorial cairn is placed at the alpine pass.
Dobson Street in Spreydon is named for him.[22]

"Well, I have a bomb here that can be put on the vertibird that will detonate at a certain altitude, but it's a little unstable and dangerous"
Cato Hostilius is a Frumentarius in Caesar's Legion stationed around Hoover Dam in 2281. He appears only if the player has started the quest Arizona Killer.
Cato Hostilius is charged to spy on the NCR in Hoover Dam to find an easy way to assassinate President Aaron Kimball during his speech.
Interactions with the player characterEdit
Interactions overviewEdit
|This character is involved in quests.
- Arizona Killer: The Courier will be required to meet with Cato Hostilius between Ranger station Delta and the cazador nest on top of the mountain. There, he will offer the Courier advice on how to assassinate President Aaron Kimball before resting. Upon waking, he will be dressed in civilian clothing, give the Courier NCR armor as a disguise, and rush over to Hoover Dam in the middle of the crowd awaiting the President's arrival. After the quest is completed, he will disappear from the game.
|Other items
|On death
|Brahmin-skin outfit and Bandana
|Vertibird bomb
Bottle caps
- Killing Cato during the quest strangely doesn't give you negative reputation with Caesar's Legion, but it will cause you to fail the quest.
- If you have an Explosives skill of 50 you can get Cato to give you a Vertibird bomb, which you can use to kill Kimball. If you don't have the required Explosives skill, you can pickpocket the bomb off him.
- He has the only well-heeled gambler hat in the game.
Notable quotesEdit
- "Rise and shine. You have a big day ahead of you."
- "The President is scheduled to arrive sometime in the afternoon. It's going to be a short visit to boost morale for the NCR troops. He's going to arrive, give a speech, and then leave. No meet and greet, no questions, just a quick in and out. They're probably afraid something is going to happen. For good reason."
- "Well, I have a bomb here that can be put on the vertibird that will detonate at a certain altitude, but it's a little unstable and dangerous."
Cato Hostilius appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bosnian Muslim officers extradited
THE HAGUE, The Netherlands (CNN) -- Three high-ranking Bosnian Muslim officers detained in Bosnia have been indicted on charges of murder during the 1992-95 war.
The two generals and a colonel were charged with executing civilians and war prisoners, for using hostages as human shields, and for the pillaging and destruction of towns and villages in 1993.
They were flown from Sarajevo to The Hague on Friday where they are expected to be placed in the same detention centre as Former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic.
The three Muslim officers are former commanders of the Army of Bosnia-Herzegovina, General Enver Hadzihasanovic, General Mehmed Alagic and Colonel Amir Kubura were arrested on Thursday.
Indictments were issued on Friday for war crimes and grave breaches of the Geneva convention in central Bosnia in 1993 and 1994.
The indictments were issued after the United States vowed to step up efforts to bring Bosnian war crime suspects to justice following the conviction on Thursday of a Serb general for genocide.
Bosnian Serb general Radislav Krstic received a 46-year jail sentence for his role in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of more than 7,000 Muslims.
U.S. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher pledged continued U.S. support to "all credible efforts to bring violators of the international humanitarian law to account."
The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) said the victims of the crimes in the indictment were predominately Bosnian Croat prisoners of war and civilians.
The ICTY said one of the main features of the indictment was that most of the crimes were said to have been committed by "foreign Muslim fighters" who referred to themselves as Mujahedin or Holy Warriors.
It listed the alleged crimes into three categories, the first being executions and massacres following attacks on towns and villages.
The second was crimes allegedly committed in detention facilities involving killings, beatings, physical and psychological abuse.
The third category relates to the systematic plunder and destruction of areas that were occupied by Muslim forces.
The ICTY said the accused were charged on the basis of their command responsibility.
Hadzihasanovic was the commander of the Bosnian Army's Third Corps at the time of the alleged offences. Alagic was the Commander of a Third Corps Operational Group. Kubura was commander of the Seventh Muslim Mountain Brigade.
On Thursday, Krstic became the first person to be found guilty of genocide by the war crimes tribunal in The Hague.
Krstic's commander, General Ratko Mladic, along with wartime Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, are also being sought by the tribunal.
Presiding judge Almiro Rodrigues said the order to kill thousands of innocent people had clearly come from his superiors.
Rodrigues said in passing sentence: "You are guilty of the murder of thousands of Bosnian Muslims. ... You are guilty of inflicting incredible suffering. General Krstic, you agreed to evil."
Krstic, the highest-ranking Bosnian Serb military officer tried by the U.N. court, said he knew of the mass killings, but was unable to stop them.

From the importance of loving what you do, to releasing your inner entrepreneur, the English UK Marketing conference was packed with inspiration and practical advice to help ELT centres thrive.
Around 120 delegates joined the event, attracted by a mix of big names and industry experts sharing insights around digital reach, different markets and much more.
Opening the conference, English UK chief executive Sarah Cooper said: "The industry is in a happier place than last year… and as those of you in our QUIC statistics scheme already know, there's been some really good recovery throughout the industry, so that's fantastic. It confirms what we've heard through the year, and that's down to a lot of hard work, clever marketing and product development.
"It's beginning to look as though there is a better political atmosphere around students, and the data we commissioned for a government inquiry into international students makes absolutely clear that our industry is nothing but positive for the UK."
First speaker Linda Moir had the room spellbound as she described how she had built outstanding customer service first at Virgin Atlantic and then among thousands of volunteer Games Makers at the 2012 Olympics. She said she had learned two vital keys: "How you are inside your organisations is exactly what your customers and students will see – and that comes from you as leaders of organisations. The second thing is having a collaborative culture, where everybody gets a say - the organisations doesn't always go with it but everyone gets the chance to collaborate," she said, adding that employees are also brand ambassadors: "It's all about the love about what loving what you do and feeling really proud. That's how you develop amazing service and a reputation for great customer experience."
Nicole Kennedy of Studio Cambridge said the talk was one of the best she had heard. "It was inspirational, but that sounds corny. My whole sales team is here, and it lifted them."
Sahar Hashimi, who jumped ship from a high-flying career in law to set up a chain of New York-style coffee houses with her brother, closed the day in equally inspirational style, outlining the six habits of entrepreneurs and emphasising her belief that "every single one of us has the entrepreneurial gene… it's activated in some, in others stifled."
"Entrepreneurship is making a huge fool of yourself until you get it right," she said, concluding: "There are opportunities for us - rekindling these skills could be a golden and wonderful future for us."
Practical information to help UK ELT centres make the most of those opportunities came from a series of specialist strands, including on digital marketing and different markets. Delegates could hear about opportunities in the Japanese market – where the expert panel talked about potential growth in juniors and the senior market. Shoko Doherty of Celtic talked about the importance of emphasising quality for the senior market, and also offering junior courses in the last two weeks of August which is often the first opportunity for Japanese school students to travel, while Kevin McNally of TIS summed up the discussion that safety, quality and perhaps tradition should be the focus of marketing to Japan.
A busy panel session on transnational education found Steve Phillips of British Study Centres Steve talking about aligning overseas centres with the core operation, while Matthew Anderson of TVET talked of a "gap" for British branded providers in countries where only a fraction of the population could afford to study in the UK.
Hannah Alexander-Wright, launching the English UK/British Council market report into Thailand, had a series of revelations to share including the importance of using Thai social media platforms and of understanding that "the student makes the choice… but the parent makes the decision."
She said ELT centres needed to do different things for agents, parents and students. "Agents want relationships, responsiveness, discount and commission. Students want digital stuff, parents want to know the institution is academic, and about safety and pastoral care. The students research, the agents mediate and the parents trust the agents. Some schools are very good at some things but they need to tick all three boxes," she said.

"Muscles affected by spasticity have increased stiffness and tightness, which may lead to pain, difficulties with hygiene and other activities of daily living, and may affect how a patient looks," said Russell Katz, M.D., director of the Division of Neurology Products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. "In clinical trials, treatment with Botox was found to be beneficial to patients with upper limb spasticity."
Botox works by temporarily blocking the connections between nerves and muscles, resulting in a temporary paralysis of the spastic muscle.
Botox has a Boxed Warning that says the effects of the botulinum toxin may spread from the area of injection to other areas of the body, causing symptoms similar to those of botulism. Those symptoms include swallowing and breathing difficulties that can be life-threatening.
The most common adverse reactions reported by patients with upper limb spasticity were nausea, fatigue, bronchitis, muscle weakness, and pain in the arms.
Botox has not been shown to be safe and effective treatment for other upper limb muscles, spasticity in the legs, or for treatment of fixed contracture – a condition that affects range of motion. Treatment with Botox is not intended to substitute for physical therapy or other rehabilitative care.
Botox is manufactured by Allergan Inc. of Irvine, Calif.

For thirteen hours, I have watched four cosmopolitan titans of men slide through the air like greasy hamburgers, limbs and torsos contorting awkwardly as enormous phallus-shaped weapons cleave through monsters and men alike. Ignis clicks his gloved fingers and a meal of bacon and eggs materialises. He sits silently as Noctis picks at it with a fork. Prompto proceeds to writhe on the ground. In the morning, Gladiolus screams "You're on fire, today!" three times in a row to nobody in particular, before stepping awkwardly close to Noctis. Noctis turns his head away, but the tension only grows.
There is a terror that cannot be escaped in Final Fantasy XV. A terror beyond the banalities of the formal narrative concerning a foreign invasion and Noctis's coming-of-age crisis. In thirteen hours of play, I have come to realise that this narrative is simply a backdrop. Cutscenes are gorgeously rendered, but devoid of substance. The characters have the emotive capacities of lemons. They are not even cookie cutter for they lack all definition, free floating voids formed into being by the narrative Deus that demands individuation but rather than souls has given sexy haircuts and coats. But it does not matter, for this is not what the game is about. It is a hollow exterior encapsulating a hollower core.
FFXV appears a road-trip simulator. You drive along highways, stop at gas stations, explore nature, hunt animals and camp beneath the stars. Of course, these bonding activities do not connect one with nature, but with one's onii-chan buddies. Nature is nothing more than the perpetuation of ideology; norms and values inscribed into collective myth through repetitive acts. In other words, nature as a concept comes into being through our relations with other human beings. What FFXV offers then, is an escaped into culture. One dominates, kills and consumes nature for the sake of projecting one's own relations into the world. There is no ecosystem in the world precisely because the animals are simply canvases for the party's phallic weaponry. The diegetic world, like the formal narrative, is a hollow exterior.
Initially, I believed the deepest and most harrowing hollow of FFXV to be its unfettered masculinity. All seemed to fade in the wake of Broody-Chan, Macho-Chan, Library-Chan and Genki-Chan's interactions with one another. The journey began when I forced my flatmates to purchase the game with me. Perhaps such an act was a projection of my own expectations; a transmedial imposition of the in-game camaraderie I was sure would be present. "We'll play it together," I said, "It'll be awful." What I received, however, was truly profound. On the surface the game is as predicted. The characters crack awful jokes, bond over one another's hobbies and fist bump after successful link-strikes. Broody-Chan makes strange grunts when he interacts with people; Macho-Chan yells at Broody-Chan to punch harder; Library-Chan is Wikipedia in the anal stage; and Genki-Chan talks about getting with women. I initially felt nauseated, awash in a sea of masculine absence where the only way out was to drown, but then I began to see a depth to their shallow interactions; an anxious fourth hollow, alien and carnal.
Let's be honest, masculine bonding is simply a sublimation of the erotic into the higher arts of driving cars, hunting animals and devouring flesh. These acts are a substitute, an artifice for a pleasure that is denied by existence itself. To exist as a subject is to be circumscribed, divorced from all others and limited in expression by language. One can never fully understand the Other for language is an imperfect medium between minds. Loneliness, then, is a condition none can escape. Masculinity, rather than rebel against this absurdity, castrates thought and emotion entirely; the desire for the Other is sublimated into action so that the performance of masculinity itself becomes the ideal. One reaches not for an idealised Other, but for reaching itself.
The characters in FFXV know this all too well. Though they may act like a middle-aged man's attempt to write teenage characters, in truth they are the most profound embodiment of the human condition since Neon Genesis Evangelion's. Sentences are forced, scattered and unfocused. Lines repeat over and again during battles and car rides. Prompto hands you photos of Gladiolus's ass after dramatic story events. Interactions begin to merge into one long, terrible cry of despair. One begins to see the awkward nature of FFXV as intentional; as an imitation of connection, of masculine revelry, of purposeless horror. One begins to see that the characters do not desire to be masculine, but that they have enacted it for so long that they can no longer connect with one another in any other way; that the very artifice of their relationship is the only genuine thing in existence, anymore. They are a modern-day Sisyphus, trapped eternally to roll their sick rims up highways, only to watch their car towed back to Cid's when it runs out of fuel.
This lurid celebration of masculinity is uncanny, frightening and erudite. Bodies twist into erotic postures, weaponised phalluses slam down on flesh under the heaving rays of a sultry summer sun. The protagonists sneak peaks at one another, afraid of missing a beat. One of them yells "No mercy!" at the thought of his own painful existence. He yells it again ten minutes later. Nobody comments. Nobody ever comments. There is no need. Hell is known, but cannot be voiced. If the eroticism underlying the masculine bond were ever unleashed, despair would froth over and consume them. The sexy male models are not allowed to enter into one another, to overcome the impotency of language through the sordid pleasure of consummation. It would shatter them; it would be too real to be genuine.
I applaud Square Enix for creating such an agonising experience, for portraying banality so thoroughly and completely. I feel I have come to understand true terror, to see artifice in its highest form, and much like Noctis and his friends, I cannot break my connection with the void that is FFXV, for to do so would deprive me of the only genuine thing in existence, anymore. I must, for the rest of my life, listen to the repeating dialogue:
"We all good?"
"Better than good."
"Good to go."

Paul Hogan was an active member of the Buffalo literary community for many years, though life path changes have led him farther away recently than he has wished. He was the producer and host of Spoken Arts Radio on WBFO when it was a 30-minute weekly interview and reading series featuring a wide range of local and national writers. (He recently donated over 120 taped programs to UB's Poetry Collection). Along with Nancy Parisi, Paul coordinated the Writer's Cramp reading series at the Central Park Grill for nearly six years. He was also one of the editors of Buffalo Press, which released several books in its short existence, including Olga Karmen's collection Border Crossing.
Paul received his MA in Creative Writing from UB—a member of the last class to do so before UB eliminated it as a concentration in English. He was offered and accepted the Gray Chair Fellowship in Poetry & Letters under Robert Creeley, and held it for two years before deciding to leave academia to begin work in the non-profit sector. He worked for Just Buffalo Literary Center as the first full-time director of the Writers-in-Education program, and he has also worked with or been a consultant to several arts organizations over the years.
Paul has received an Academy of American Poets College Competition award, a SUNY-wide creative writing award from SUNY at Albany, and an Individual Artist's Fellowship from the Arts Council in Buffalo & Erie County. He has scattered publications in small magazines, mainly regional, and had five poems included in the White Pine Press anthology The Legend of Being Irish, edited by David Lampe. Although he has read his work widely and often in the area, this is his first reading in nearly a decade.
Max Wickert has published two collections of poetry—All the Weight of the Still Midnight and Pat Sonnets—as well as over two hundred poems and verse translations in major journals, including American Poetry, Chicago Review, Choice, Poetry, Sewanee Review, and Shenandoah. His work has twice been featured in Earth's Daughters. The Liberation of Jerusalem—a verse translation of Torquato Tasso's Renaissance epic, Gerusalemme Liberata—will be published next year by Oxford University Press. In the 1960s and Ô70s he was the founder and director of the Outriders Poetry Program. He is Associate Professor Emeritus in the UB English Department.
Continuing publication of Earth's Daughters magazine is made possible by a Decentralization grant from the Arts Council in Buffalo & Erie County, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts. The Gray Hair Series is co-sponsored by Hallwalls, Just Buffalo Literary Center, & Talking Leaves...Books.

Egypt closes Rafah Border Gate
Egypt closed the Rafah Border Gate bidirectionally for "security" reasons.
Egypt shut down the Rafah Border Gate, which is the only gate of Gaza opened to the world, bidirectionally for "security" reasons.
The coup management in Egypt announced before that the Rafah Border Gate would be open for 3 days from Wednesday, and it was envisaged that the door would be kept open until Friday evening.
After closing the door, a large number of people who had prepared to move to Egypt from Gaza had to return.
The Rafah Border Gate, which has been closed since the Egyptian army took over the administration in July 2013, temporarily opens for humanitarian situations.
Flocking of thousands of Gazan to Rafah Border Gate, which opens temporarily, to continue treatment, to find a job, to complete marriage, shows how people suffering under the blockade.
Meanwhile, Hamas Political Bureau President Ismail Haniyeh went to Egypt this morning with a delegation accompanying him to discuss issues of Palestinian reconciliation.
Hamas and al-Fatah delegations signed a "compromise agreement" last year, which ended the division in Palestine under the negotiations in Egypt's capital Cairo.

Koneline: our land beautiful
Nettie Wild, director of this feature documentary
There's a scene in Nettie Wild's remarkable documentary Koneline: our land beautiful that sums up the emotional tone of the film. Wild is following a woman, who is moving her pack of horses from one grazing land to another. It's a tough task, across difficult terrain, but she's clearly up for it. People have asked her, she says, what kind of survival gear she carries with her on journeys that seem to many of us southerners as being quite dangerous. Not to the woman Wild is filming. "I don't survive out here," she says. "I live out here."
That's the sentiment, which all of the people in Koneline espouse, whether they speak it or not. Wild has crafted a film that is so stunningly beautiful that it might appear that all of her artistry and energy has been put into shooting lyrical scenes in one of the most gorgeous landscapes in Canada, the forests, mountains, rivers and lakes of northern British Columbia. And, indeed, kudos must go to Wild and her cinematographer Van Royko, whose previous documentary feature, Sturla Gunnarsson's Monsoon, was also a ravishing visual spectacle.
The area where Wild spent most of the past five years shooting is Tahltan land. She knows their ways, which are contradictory and like everyone else in the film, doesn't follow an obvious pattern. Elders are opposed to copper and gold mines that are destroying part of the land but younger men work there because they need the money. You can't eat visual splendour. So while there is a blockade at one point and other protests taking place, Wild doesn't immediate shift her focus towards those fighting the mine companies. Both perspectives are honoured by interviews and passages depicting their work. For Wild, who made her high critical reputation as a point-of-view radical documentarian, Koneline shows something new, a mature even-handed vision of the world and how people live in it.
Koneline is a wise, humanistic documentary. It's a tone poem to a beautiful land and the amazing characters who live in it. Koneline deservedly won the Best Canadian Feature Award at Hot Docs. I urge you to see this film.

A Very Jaguar Christmas by Terry Spear
I really wanted to love this one. There were so many great elements, but they never really came together. Demetria and Everett have a shared grief that has kept them apart - it was quite a sad beginning, which you don't usually see in a Christmas novel, and that was good. It set it apart a little. But, things change very quickly when they find an abandoned cub. Now, this cub is quite a surprise - it's beyond a surprise, but I can't give it away. Let's just say the Jaguar world will never be the same.
It was cure and well done, this introduction to something new. But it sort of took over the story. Instead of watching Demetria and Everett bond over a little cub, it turned into more of a mystery with a dash of sex. I needed more romance and feelings and denied attraction.
It also sort of bounced around a bit. At times it was hard to follow the dialog and keep up with who was doing what.

AT&T's announcement that it would boost US capex by $1 billion and pay a $1,000 special bonus to 200,000 employees once Trump signs the Tax Cut bill into law (ideally before the holidays), has unleashed a veritable torrent of trickle down economics. And who would have thought that the "Fight for $15" movement would see some of America's biggest banks as its latest members.
Shortly after the AT&T announcement, and just an hour after the passage of the Republican Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which cuts corporate taxes, in an attempt to be among the first to win the administration's benevolence, Fifth Third Bancorp said that just like AT&T, it would pay more than 13,500 employees a bonus and raise the minimum wage of its workforce to $15 an hour. In total, approximately 75% of employees will receive a pay increase or bonus. Senior managers and top executives are excluded from the special payments.
Cincinnati-based Fifth Third, the fifteenth largest U.S. bank by asset size, said the tax cut allowed it to re-evaluate its employee pay and pass along some of the windfall. Nearly 3,000 workers will see hourly wages rise to $15. The $1,000 one-time bonus is expected to be paid by the end of this year, the bank said, assuming President Donald Trump signs the bill into law by Christmas.
"We want to invest in our most important asset – our people," said Fifth Third President and CEO Greg Carmichael. "Our employees drive our reputation, our business and our success."
Carmichael said the higher wage is an important step to help support individuals, their families and the communities in which we operate. Fifth Third has a history of investing in its 18,000 employees. Once the legislation is signed into law, nearly 3,000 hourly employees will see their pay increase to $15 an hour. The one-time $1,000 bonus is expected to be distributed by the end of the year, assuming the president signs the bill before Christmas. Senior managers and executive leadership are excluded from this compensation.
"It is good for our communities, employees and Fifth Third Bank," Carmichael said.
At almost the exact same time, scandal-plagued Wells Fargo also said it would be boosting its minimum wage for employees to $15 an hour, to 11% from the current minimum wage of $13.50, which was prompted by the GOP tax plan. Warren Buffet's favorite bank also said it would target $400 million in donations to community and nonprofit organizations next year, and also announced that beginning in 2019, it will target 2% of its after-tax profits for corporate philanthropy.
"We believe tax reform is good for our U.S. economy and are pleased to take these immediate steps to invest in our team members, communities, small businesses, and homeowners," said President and CEO Tim Sloan. "We look forward to identifying additional opportunities for Wells Fargo to invest, as we continue to execute our business strategies and provide long-term value to all our stakeholders. As the nation's largest small business lender and residential mortgage provider, we understand our significant role in helping grow the economy."
"We're ensuring that Wells Fargo is a great place to work by offering market-competitive compensation, career development opportunities, and a broad array of benefits," Sloan said. "In addition to today's announcement, over the past year we have added four additional paid holidays per year; enhanced our parental, caregiving, and backup adult care paid leave programs; and announced plans to grant restricted stock awards to approximately 250,000 team members that will vest in two years subject to grant terms. These awards are generally equivalent to 50 shares of Wells Fargo stock for eligible full-time team members and 30 shares for eligible part-time team members."
In light of the bad press the bank has received in recent years, Wells' attempt to mollify the general population, and the administartion, was to be expected. Furthermore, the bank's generosity is hardly a shock following Goldman's Monday calculation that Wells Fargo stands to benefit the most from all US banks, with up to 18% in EPS upside as a result of its lowered income tax.
And while it is certain that Wells' benefits from tax cuts will more than outweigh any compsenation increases or philanthropy, it is also assured that many more banks will follow in these two banks footsteps as US corporations scramble to demonstrate their generous conscience, and "civic duty", by returning if only a fraction of tax cut benefits to their employees and community. And who knows, maybe this time trickle down will actually work.

This season, three emerging brands received the prestigious Ones to Watch Award from Fashion Scout - Price on Request by Croatian designer Gala Marija Vrbanic, AuCarre by Greek twin sisters Erin and Dimitra, and Nous Etudions by Argentinean designer Romi Cardillo.
The SS19 show kicked off with AuCarre, a label that wants to empower women everywhere to express their authentic femininity. Highlights included some striking head-to-toe crimson red looks; asymmetric gowns and ruched skirts; as well as the gaudy prints reminiscent of retro Guess, worn as surreal, floaty dresses and gloves- or rather full-on arm hosiery. What brought the show to life, though, was the styling. Jackets were worn underneath tops, strapped in and constricted, creating new and interesting silhouettes. Each outfit was worn with heeled bowling shoes, avant garde headpieces, and the obligatory 2018 Matrix sunglasses.
Next up was Price on Request, an award-winning sustainable fashion brand showing an entire collection made from recycled materials, reinventing and reimagining pieces from Vrbanic's familial design archive in order to create a rich narrative that is eco-friendly 'by accident.' From trousers crafted like suspenders and pinstripe wrap skirts to flared thigh high boots and classic LBDs; it was clear that the label's raison d'être this season was to design garments with concise functionality and style.
Lastly, the guests were treated to a finessed finale by Nous Etudions (which roughly translates to 'we are students'). Enthusiasts of the eco-conscious, Nous Etudions pride themselves on being a vegan brand, even utilising biotextiles formed from kombucha in this collection. But despite the boho, hippy connotations this may suggest, 'Creatures of the Universe' was crisp and contemporary, with deconstructed tailoring and oversized, androgynous silhouettes in a monochrome colour palette.
Fashion Scout's picks for this season's Ones to Watch collective are representative of a new generation of designers; future-thinking, steadfast creatives who use fashion simply as a medium for their messages. From the geopolitical to the intra-personal, the exciting young brands are bursting outside of the so called fashion bubble.

I attended the University of Puget Sound to get my teaching degree in Elementary Education. My sons graduated from high school and went to Tacoma Community College and Eastern Washington State University and I moved to Penny Creek Elementary. After becoming a National Board Certified Teacher and spending eight years at Penny Creek Elementary, I moved to Jackson Elementary as a part of of the Silvers Team.I live in Mukilteo and enjoy listening to the ferry horn and small historic planes buzzing around from Paine Airfield. My hobby passions are family heritage, scrapbooking and stamping, reading, my herb garden, walking and hiking, and traveling. I lived a year in Germany and have gone back to Europe a few times. It's time to go again!! I love to read all kinds of books: historical fiction, mysteries, realistic fiction, history books, crime novels, and more.My goal for each of my students is to grow into life long learners. You can always contact me at email@example.com during the school day.

Each week there are more and more vendors who join the market. There are still good deals to be had on flower and vegetable plants if you have not yet finished planting your garden. In addition to plants, the farmers' tables get a little fuller each week as more and more fresh produce is ready to be harvested from the garden. The earliest veggies such as green onions, asparagus, radishes, and rhubarb, are now being joined by things such as leaf lettuce and other spring greens. There were even some of the first strawberries of the season available last week.
Now that most of the garden is planted, it is time to work on the next step of maintaining a garden—dealing with weeds. Right after the soil is tilled and the plants are put in and seeds sown, the garden looks so nice and pristine. It doesn't take long however, for things to get out of control.
I am often guilty of "rubbernecking" as I pass people's gardens while driving. I am a bit envious of small home gardens. Usually, everything looks so neat and orderly and weed free. Most of the time, I start off with great intentions in my own garden, but more often than not, things get ahead of me and the weeds set in.
Cultivating between the rows of plants while the weeds are still tiny is the best way to keep ahead of the problem. This can be done with a hoe, rototiller, cultivator, or any combination thereof, depending on the scale of the garden. Using a cultivator that hitches to the back of the tractor is probably the fastest way I could accomplish this task. However, due to a combination of my crooked rows and my crooked driving, when I try to use this machine I tend to rip out more plants than weeds as I go along.
So, my current method of choice is to cultivate by hand using an old fashioned tool that has a large wheel in front with prongs behind that dig into the dirt and two handles with which to push it forward. I have heard many names for it such as a "high wheel cultivator" and a "push plow/cultivator."
Just today, though, my friend, Dale Clapper, stopped by today and gave me a new name for this machine; he called it a "Missouri Mule." I think that is such a cute name that I'm going to refer to it that way from now on. It sounds just like something out of an old country song. Perhaps I'll utilize my time spent pushing it to write my own song.
Here is a good recipe to get some fresh spinach into your kids' diet. Try putting it in something they already enjoy. I don't know too many kids that don't like Mac N Cheese. This recipe came from MarthaStewart.com.
Spinach Mac N Cheese
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup minced yellow onion
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups whole milk, room temperature
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- About 1 ¾ pounds spinach, trimmed, washed, and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick strips
- 5 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated (2 cups)
- 3/4 pound elbow macaroni, cooked according to package instructions
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium. Add onion and cook until translucent, 6 minutes. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is pale golden and has a slightly nutty aroma, about 2 minutes. Whisking constantly, add 2 cups milk. Add remaining 2 cups milk, raise heat to medium-high, and whisk until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Cook, whisking constantly, until sauce comes to a boil, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, 13 to 15 minutes. Add spinach and cook, stirring constantly, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add cheese and stir until melted, about 2 minutes. Add cooked macaroni and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
|My dad took a few pictures of me using the "Missouri Mule" early one morning a couple of weeks ago. I didn't know he was taking pictures.
Can't you just hear me singing a Gillian Welch tune as I push my "Missouri Mule". . .
"There was a camp town man, used to plow and sing
And he loved that mule and the mule loved him
When the day got long as it does about now
I'd hear him singing to his muley-cow
Calling, "Come on my sweet old girl, and I'd bet the whole damn world
That we're gonna make it yet to the end of the row"
Singing "hard times ain't gonna rule my mind
Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind, Bessie
Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind no more"
And here is a photo taken last September by my friend Lindsay after I had clearly given up using this tool and let the weeds take over.
Perhaps this year I can keep ahead of the weeds. Somehow I doubt it!

1. Instead of trying to meet others' expectations, find the role that works for YOU. This is a unique family and you need to find your place in it.
2. Focus on your marriage first. The only reason you're a stepmom is because you chose a partner who happens to have children. The key to stability in the family is a strong stepcouple. You are (half of) the foundation of the family, not an add-on.
3. Find your community, your tribe, your besties, your stepmama sisters… whatever name you want to use, the key is having the support of other women who KNOW what you are going through.
