Universal's "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" is reportedly headed for a healthy $140-150 million domestic opening weekend in North America in a few weeks according to early tracking.
The first film shook the industry with a record-setting $208.8 million domestic launch in 2015, surprising everyone as it climbed towards a $1.67 billion worldwide box-office haul.
Those figures for the sequel may seem notably down on the first, but at this early stage in the tracking cycle – those numbers almost always go up. Of course, as both "Black Panther" and "Solo" have demonstrated this year (albeit in different ways), tracking is not always reliable.
Unaided awareness for the J.A. Bayona-directed "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" reportedly sits at 27% with total awareness at 94% and definite interest at 61%.
Universal has opted for a staggered release pattern overseas for the movie with a bunch of countries getting the film on June 7th, and then 15th, before finally arriving in the rest including Australia and the United States on June 22nd.

The Elements of Environmental Pollution
Routledge, Jul 14, 2017 - Business & Economics - 332 pages
Environmental pollution is one of humanity's most pressing issues and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Anthropogenic activity is disturbing natural cycles and generating pollutants that are altering the atmosphere, accumulating in the food chain and contaminating the world's soils, rivers and oceans. Human health and ecosystems continue to be damaged by toxic metals, persistent organic pollutants, radionuclides and other hazardous materials. The Elements of Environmental Pollution provides comprehensive coverage of this essential subject. It explains the key principles of pollution science, assesses human disturbances of natural element cycles and describes local and global pollution impacts, from smoggy cities, polluted lakes and toxic soils to climate change, ocean acidification and marine dead zones. The book is informed by the latest pollution research and benefits from numerous real-world examples and international case studies. A comprehensive glossary provides clear and concise explanations of key concepts.
This textbook will support teaching and learning in environment-related university courses and will be vital reading for anyone with an interest in environmental protection.

Denim Jacket Alternatives
Warm, sunny summer days, breezy, chilly summer nights. While Chicago has seemingly perfect summer weather, we often find ourselves reaching for an extra layer or two when it's extremely windy or when the sun goes down. While a denim jacket will forever be a closet staple, why not take more of a fashion risk this summer? Here are some denim jacket alternatives that you can find at our Chicago clothing boutiques.
The Vinyl Jacket
Vinyl has been extremely popular throughout the past year in the form of both jackets and pants, so why not continue the trend into the summer? Throw on a white or black vinyl jacket over a band t-shirt for an edgy but sophisticated look.
The Off-the-Shoulder Zip-Up
For a lighter layer, invest in an off-the-shoulder zip-up (yes, they do exist and they're incredible) for an effortlessly cool look. Plus, the coat's exposed shoulders mean this won't keep you too warm if the weather is warmer than expected.
The Velvet Blazer
Transition from the office to the rooftop bar with a velvet blazer. This is the perfect chance to incorporate a pop of color into your outfit as well. Pair it with a plain white t-shirt, jeans and loafers, all of which you can find at our Chicago clothing boutiques.
The Military Jacket
Structured shoulders and military-inspired detailing were all the rage last fall, so get use out of your jacket by transitioning it into the summer.
Browse our Chicago clothing boutiques for tons of denim jacket alternatives!

Lehner has had a grueling summer
The goaltender looks forward to the new look Sabres
Buffalo, NY (WGR 550) - Robin Lehner got on the ice for the first time on Thursday. For the second straight summer, Lehner has been working out at Buffalo MMA and he looks like he's in great shape. Lehner is going to show up to training camp with a ton of weight off and in top physical condition.
After doing this last off season, Lehner had a .920 save percentage in 59 games. Lehner has played 80 games in Buffalo and has a .921 save percentage. Getting in this kind of shape has given the Sabres number one goalie a lot of confidence, "I've got nothing to prove to you. Since I came here there have been some ups and downs. I've been injured, but I've been a steady over 92 percent and its something I want to keep improving on and hopefully we can just tighten it up as a team this year and get some more team success."
Lehner was brought to Buffalo by Tim Murray, but now the GM is Jason Botterill. Lehner signed a one-year deal because this management wants to see what they have. Lehner said he has no problem with that, "I think new management comes in, they want to re-evaluate and I have full respect for that."
"We went into the summer looking for some type of term, but I'm fine with a one-year deal. I have full confidence in my abilities. Professionally for my future it makes more sense. I wanted a long term, but my agents were always telling me to do a one-year deal here."
Lehner has been through many changes in his career, both here and in Ottawa. The goaltender is cautiously optimistic, "I'm excited to get to know everyone and the new direction. I think we're going to come in prepared for training camp."
The Sabres have brought in Marco Scandella, Nathan Beaulieu and Victor Antipin to replace Dmitry Kulikov and Cody Franson. I asked Lehner if he's looking forward to seeing his new D and he said he had no issues with the guys last year, "I had no problems with the defensemen, but the problem was we really didn't know how to play. It's not just the defensemen, that's a common misconception, it's how we play as a team."
"If you watched the Stanley Cup Playoffs last year all the good teams like Pittsburgh, everyone defends, everyone comes back and everyone plays as a five-man unit and its fast forward and fast back to the defensive zone and I think that's what Phil wants. He doesn't want us to play slow, he wants to play fast and everyone attacks and everyone defends and we didn't do that last year."
Lehner would stand up after games and talk about how the coaches would lay out a plan and they wouldn't follow it. He would say how they played was disrespectful to the coaches. With Dan Bylsma and Murray being fired, he felt personally responsible, "It's always hard to see people go, but its a professional sport and if you don't get results, things like this happen and I take that personally because if I could've played better, than maybe it wouldn't have put them in that position and if other players played better, you know, we talked a lot about that last year when we don't play well and do things right, there's consequences to it."
Lehner played 59 games last season. I think that's perfect for a number one goalie. That gives Chad Johnson 20 to 25 games.
Hear what Lehner had to say below:

As artists, we all have stories that we never get to tell.
You know what I'm talking about. Random prints stuffed in a drawer. A box of old slides gathering dust on a shelf. An unimportant photoshoot that sits unedited on an old hard drive. Individual images that don't fit into any series or projects. Failed experiments, darkroom test strips, bits and pieces here and there that accumulate over time, never shown, never seen. Forgotten.
For the last few months I've been on a quest to declutter my life - a process that has uncovered a lot of unexpected things, including an array of images that have never really seen the light of day.
Logic tells me that if I haven't used them or missed them for years, they must not be all that important and therefore should be ruthlessly discarded. However, going through these images, I've found that they had a profound effect on me - like artefacts of a life lived long ago, traces of past activities and ideas, I couldn't part with them without acknowledging their once relevant existence.
This is how the Forgotten Stories series was born - I felt that once these images are edited down, organised, scanned and published, their story is told at last, their purpose fulfilled, and I could finally let them go.
Here are just a few of the stories that I've come across during this process:
Ryan O'Reilly Band, Portobello (2009)
I had just moved to London and was heading for a walk around Portobello Market, when I came across an amazing Irish band playing on the street. This little story is like a snapshot of a fun sunny day, a happy memory, back when things were just beginning and the future was bright. This must've been one of the first films I've developed and printed in college.
The Colour Story (2010)
This was a uni assignment for the colour darkroom workshop - the goal was to capture as much colour as possible, and later use the lab prints as a reference for producing our own.
Royal Festival Hall (2011)
Another uni workshop, we were asked to produce a body of work in response to a public space, and I've spent the first day walking around the building complex, trying to find interesting angles to capture the graphic lines of its modernist architecture. Even though I ended up doing something completely different in the end, I still like this little collection with its strong contrast, sharp lines and dark shadows.
Cloud Studies (2010-2012)
Back in uni days I had produced a collection of cloud images on medium format colour transparency film - I was planning to use them in a mixed-media piece I was making for an assessment, which ended up not being very successful. However, the images remain, and visually I find them as fascinating as ever.
Instant Abstractions (2010-present)
When using expired film, the images fail more often than not, sometimes producing interesting abstract results. These are just a few of the many I have accumulated over the years.
I will be posting more Forgotten Stories on tumblr and Facebook over the coming weeks.

Notting Hill (2009)

The Clock Tower
In May, FWC hosted a collaborative event at the IOOF building. Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) own the clocktower in the corner. There was a slide show on the history of the corner presented by Julie Larry of Greater Portland Landmarks, food donated from 11 corner businesses and tours of the building. There were over 150 people at this free and public event. Plans are to make this a yearly happening.
Shortly after our event, the lodge members of the IOOF decided to invest in repairing the clock. See the story in the Portland Press Herald.
The repair of the clock is the symbol of the revitalization of the corner's village feel, and we're grateful to the Oddfellows for the their commitment to the neighborhood.

Chinese Hedge-Fund Firms Head for Hong Kong
Feeling hamstrung by a Beijing crackdown, growing numbers seek to set up new funds across the border
HONG KONG—Hamstrung by Beijing's crackdown on investment activities in the wake of last year's stock-market plunge, growing numbers of Chinese hedge-fund managers are seeking to set up new funds in Hong Kong.
These investors, many of whom trained at Western financial institutions before returning home to China as its financial markets grew, say they are looking for better trading conditions.
"The regulation is constantly changing, and we are looking for markets with more stable trading regulations," said Zhiyu Qin, chief executive of Beijing-based Hantak Investment Advisors, which oversees about 850 million yuan ($128 million).
Like several other firms planning new funds in Hong Kong, Hantak uses mathematical models to identify market patterns, and so was struck particularly by one of Chinese regulators' more drastic moves. Stiff rules put in place last September effectively halted trading in stock-index futures, a key derivative for these funds.
The result: a 99% drop in the number of stock-index futures contracts changing hands on the Shanghai-based China Financial Futures Exchange—once the world's biggest market for these derivatives—to fewer than one million in January from 61 million last June, according to the World Federation of Exchanges.
Mr. Qin and his investing partner, former quantitative traders for the $34 billion U.S. hedge-fund manager Millennium Management LLC, are emblematic of a wave of ambitious Chinese investors who returned to set up investment businesses in recent years after working at prestigious firms overseas.
They returned to join an industry that has grown quickly but works in an unpredictable environment. Chinese authorities were swift to blame last year's stock-market crash on hedge funds, which weren't legally recognized in the country until 2013. They quickly put curbs on betting against single stocks—shorting—a practice that was already prohibitively expensive.
Chinese hedge-fund managers say they aren't yet closing up shop at home. Setting up new funds outside the country, though, will vastly expand the available markets and trading tools, such as the popular Singapore-traded FTSE China A50 futures contract.
"We have built a successful working strategy in China and can use similar ideas for trading other markets," Mr. Qin said.
Deutsche Bank AG , which has made a strong bid to cater to Chinese hedge-fund clients, says last year it met with more than 75 managers in China that were looking to set up new funds outside the country.
Chinese funds setting up offshore are likely to rely heavily on Chinese investors who have diversified their cash holdings overseas, consultants and managers say. Attracting money held inside China is expected to be more challenging as Beijing fights heavy capital outflows from the mainland.
"What may throw a spanner in the works is the degree of capital-control restrictions we are now seeing," said Effie Vasilopoulos, co-leader of law firm Sidley Austin LLP's investment-funds practice in Asia. "This year is not going to be great for any business that is relying on Chinese capital for investment purposes."
Bin Hu, who runs Coefficient Investment in Shanghai—and was formerly chief executive of Bank of New York Mellon Corp. 's fund-management joint venture in China—plans to launch the firm's first offshore hedge fund this month, according to people familiar with the matter. The fund has close to $100 million committed to begin trading with, according to one of the people.
Coefficient also uses mathematical models to bet on rising and falling stock prices, a trading strategy that was growing in popularity in China until being stalled by last year's trading restrictions. Many such funds in China are "hedge-like without the core tools," said Michael McCormack, an executive director for investment consultancy Z-Ben Advisors.
"For most of their lives even the simplest hedging tools weren't available," he said. "Hong Kong is a big upgrade on the breadth of the tool kit and the speed at which they can execute."
Mr. McCormack said such funds have burnished their appeal among investors by performing strongly in China's difficult stock market.
Mr. Qin's Hantak fund, for instance, posted increases after fees that exceeded 4% in both June and July last year, as the Shanghai Composite dropped 7% and 14%, respectively, according to an investor presentation. It returned 0.5% in January as the index slid 22%.

Summer slacking on the blog, sorry. I have spent weeks getting this post down. Silly. I've been struggling with mom guilt lately in the nutrition department and I have finally found some peace and a solution. But let me share how I got here...
I spend a lot of time reading nutrition guru's information and have a few boards and FB pages I belong to where a lot of information gets thrown around. It's here that I sometimes walk away feeling like a bad mom. Or I have jealousy of what another mom portrays her family's nutrition to be. She gets asked a question and responds that her child has never even had that. Ugh, well mine just did yesterday, guess I have failed.
I don't know about you but when going down this journey of nutrition you are so overwhelmed with all of the information. All the things that are so horrible for you and what they are doing to your body. You can feel flat out depressed about it. You love your family so much you want to protect them from every bad thing. I am not saying this is wrong but when you start to idolize nutrition it's gonna steal your peace and it's not what God wants for our lives. Good intentions can end up ruling your life and stealing your peace. Many people at this point say "forget it, I can't control what they eat," or "this is so hard I could never keep up with all this baking and reading labels", or how about "they have been healthy up to this point so, I'm done".
Please don't listen to those messages though! That isn't where you want to be. You did not end up on this path by accident. You knew that change needed to happen and it does have to happen if you want health for yourself and family. I want to encourage you to shoot for any changes you can do now. I also challenge you to research why you are making the choices you are. I am discovering daily that there is no "right way" to do nutrition. Just because one guru says "never eat fruit it has too much sugar" doesn't mean that is an accurate statement for everyone. Some people don't have damaged metabolisms and can handle it ok. You will find an expert on both sides of the fence. Can I ask you to pray over it? Really, pray for what God tells you? He blesses the air we breathe so asking him to bless our food is also necessary. He will!
Well I have found a solution for my family. We are following the 90/10 rule. I can control 90% of what goes into my kids bodies at home. I choose what kinds of foods to have in the house, buy, and prepare.
10% is going to be somewhat out of my control. We have a social life and I won't lie that I don't want to end up in the boat where my kids feel "deprived"(I hate that term though, because I truly don't believe they feel that way) of certain foods so that when they do go somewhere they gorge on non nutritious foods. If we are at a picnic and my kids want some GMO, soybean oil filled Doritos I'm not going to tell them "no". Are they gonna have the whole bag, I don't think so :-) I feel good though that I have begun to educate my children as to why we don't choose those things on a daily basis. I also am quick to point out the tummy ache that often times comes along with an overdose on sugar and junk :-) I try to make sure their plate consists of mostly good but sampling some foods we don't have at home isn't going to steal my peace for the day.
I don't budge on wheat because you know I think it's the devil :-) but more importantly my kids feel sick from it. Jon, has a true intolerance to it, so letting him have that would just be ignorant. He knows how sick he gets though so he will ask if something has wheat in it or not. I love that he has taken his health into his own hands. His little brother follows right in his footsteps asking the questions.
9 am
Donuts for breakfast, yes please. What kid doesn't like waking up to these in the morning. We were lucky enough to eat those with a big glass of raw milk. Because I'm a short order cook, eggs were also on the menu.
12 pm
I need to grocery shop desperately and we are headed to the park so I throw some eggs on the stove for hard boiled eggs to go with our fruits, veggies and Jacson's chips. I also throw in juice boxes. You know, the occasional picnic treat :-)
'Speaking of grocery shopping...the new Whole Foods in Maple Grove is amazing. It's a good thing I have a food budget or I'd be in BIG trouble!
3 pm
Boys are all napping and so I'm going through some text's. I have to share this one (this is from a friend who started her family wheat free when experts recommended medications for their sons learning)...
Was just reading this and thought of you. Thanks again for opening my eyes!! A side note Alex's MAP test scores at start of the school year around 20% for both reading and math end of year (wheat free eating) 80+% well over the avg. Matt and I were so happy I think I even cried! Lots of love and blessings to you and yours - hope your summer is off to a good start.
Grassfed hot dogs and parmesean green beans from CSA for dinner (these beans are a must make and super easy). I can't tell you how relieved I was when my boys gave me a thumbs up on the hot dogs we got. They were made with our beef and have the casings on the outside. Nitrate free and definitely not like the Applegate ones they were used to. Yay, they will be eating all the packages :-)
Best and Worst
Worst part of my day today was feeling the sadness of one of my boys being gone. We lost our 14 1/2 year old lab mix this past week. Bear was one of our boys and I am missing him being at my feet constantly. He passed in his sleep and we didn't have to make the decision on when to end his life. For this I am grateful. He was one of our "kids" before we had kids. Watching my other dog Parker lay by his grave has been heart wrenching. He is too, missing his best buddy.
Best part of my day today was the gorgeous weather. It has been so beautiful lately and I thank Jesus for the blessings.

If you love lip balm, as most girls do, you're going to love Vaseline's NEW Lip Therapy tins. They come in three great flavors: original, rosy lips and aloe. I love throwing on the rosy one for everyday because it adds a little bit of color to your lips. The aloe one is going to be great and refreshing come summer time when the sun is beating down. Lastly, I keep the original one on my nightstand to smooth on before bed and let Vaseline do its work.
These are honestly the ultimate accessory. They're light and easy to carry on-the-go. I carry one in my purse and apply it throughout the day. Whether you're in cold weather or warm weather, it's important to keep your lips moisturized.

Ratings and Reviews
Need to fix AUDIO
I played this game sometime last year (2015) and loved it. There were some challenges at certain parts, but doable. Controls could be better on iPhone. I know there's a PC version, but I've never played it so I can't compare- I'm assuming that the PC controls are better to handle. I downloaded this game again partly because I was bored and I wanted to replay it.
Here we are now a year later and there's no music and I'm having issues with the narration. Only the opening part has music, but when I'm playing the game, narration gets cut off all the time with no music. The only sounds I have are the noises Mickey makes and other character sounds. I wish they would fix/update it cause it's not as fun playing without the soundtrack- the music fit well with the game. Once they update it, everything might be good. For now, I'll have to do 3 stars until they fix it.
Castle Starring Mickey and Minnie and that Ol' Which
I purchased this game when it first came out by Sega Genisis back in the Early 90's. Thought it was so cool when it was only 16 bit. Now this game is more incredible. The graphics are spectacular. I could never have imagined this game as it is now way back when it first came out. It is so worth purchasing on your iPad Air. I was very angry because I purchased it when I had the iPad 2 and managed to get it to download. When Apple did an software update the game went away and I couldnû't get it to download again. Even though I paid $9.99, played and beat the game. Apple refused to fix the problem and I had to purchase the iPad Air to have it download again. It is so worth owning and if you too purchase the game I couldn't imagine anyone regretting the cost because you will have hours of entertaining fun with this beautiful game. Enjoy!!
Best Remake of a classic Genesis game
This is one of a few iOS games that I have ever completed.
Disney's Castle of Illusion takes me down memory lane as it is the first Sega Genesis game I ever purchased.
At first, I was somewhat disappointed that this version has a whole new soundtrack and narration, as I was hoping to get that nostalgic feel. However, after completing the game and looking around in the options I realized that there was an option for the classic soundtrack. Perfect!
Castle of Illusion is a true side scrolling adventure reimagined in a '3-D' world.
The graphic are beautiful, perhaps even stunning.
The levels are challenging sometimes frustrating.
The game mechanics and controls take some getting used to but, in my opinion, it adds to the challenge, rather than take away from the fun factor (After all I was able complete it in only a few days).
As someone who is no longer an avid gamer I think SEGA did a remarkable job. I am thrilled that I could play a game that I played as a child and I hope to see many more classics reimagined though I doubt I'd have the time to play them all as I did when I was a kid, but I never would have imagined that I would have had the time and dedication to complete this challenging game either. Thanks SEGA.

I'm writing this post from Geneva, where the revered watchmaker Patek Philippe is hosting a weeklong 175th anniversary celebration. Tonight, I'll join 300 of my media colleagues at the company's manufacture for the unveiling of what's sure to be an extraordinary mechanical timekeeping device—or several. Patek has kept the big reveal unusually close to the vest, so whatever happens tonight is sure to be a big surprise. Stay tuned for next week's blog to read my take on the presentation.
The week kicked off in earnest for me on Wednesday night, when I joined the jeweler Alex Soldier and his lovely daughter and executive director of his firm, Maria Soldier, at the Princess Grace 2014 Gala Awards. For the first time since 1988, the gala was held in Los Angeles as opposed to New York City. When I arrived at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, the sight of well-coiffed women in floor-length ball gowns—including a very pregnant Princess Charlene, who's expecting twins with her husband, Prince Albert, in December—told me I was in the right place.
As we took our seats, actress Jane Lynch, the hostess of the ceremony, pointed out that some of the past century's most famous actresses were in the audience, including Eva Marie Saint and Tippi Hedren. It was a subtle reminder of the era in which Philadelphia-born Grace Kelly first came to Hollywood, before she married Prince Rainer III and became the Princess of Monaco.
Following the princess' untimely death in 1982, her bereaved husband established the Princess Grace Foundation-USA to award scholarships, apprenticeships, and fellowships to emerging talents in theater, dance, and film, thereby helping to further Princess Grace's commitment to giving emerging artists a leg up in the competitive arts world.
Alex Soldier has played a vital role in the awards gala every year since 2009, when the Princess Grace Foundation-USA commissioned him to create a statute to be presented to the Prince Rainier III Award recipient: a celebrity in the arts who has made it his/her personal mission to give back.
Soldier created a unique piece of art that combines symbols representing the three disciplines honored by the foundation: theater, dance, and film.
Courtesy Princess Grace Awards Foundation
A master jeweler and sculptor originally from the Russian city of Perm, Soldier had a distinguished designing career long before he emigrated to the United States. In 1981, he was named the chief designer of the largest jewelry factory in the Urals region.
When Soldier arrived in New York City in 1990, he began to develop his passion for creating one-of-a-kind jewels and objets d'art that earned him awards and professional recognition from the likes of the Platinum Guild and the American Gem Trade Association.
I can't recall the exact year that Soldier's name and work came to my attention, but I know that I was drawn to it, as well as to our shared Russian history. I've visited his atelier in Manhattan's Times Square and shared caviar and blini with Maria, who travels the country—especially now, as we enter the thick of trunk-show season—to promote his jewelry to retailers and consumers.
You'll find Alex's signature pieces—like his enchanting snail rings, distinguished by their unique textured metal and extraordinary attention to detail—at a few key Neiman Marcus locations as well as high-end independent retailers such as Darren McClung Jewelry in Palo Alto, Calif., where Maria was headed the morning after the gala.

I included Alex in a recent New York Times essay about men's jewelry because he has a new collection of stylish men's pieces launching this fall at select retailers around the country.
Courtesy Alex Soldier
But I hadn't seen Alex for at least a year or two until we found ourselves sitting next to each other at the Princess Grace Gala, where we watched the foundation present awards to up-and-coming artists in theater, dance, and film. The night's big prize—the Prince Rainier III Award—was being presented to Hollywood legend Dick Van Dyke (he was introduced by Conan O'Brien).
The white-haired Van Dyke walked onstage following a highlight reel that included clips from two of his best-known films, Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Though both films came out a little before my time, they provided soundtracks to my childhood. Seeing him onstage, still spry and cracking jokes, was pure delight.
"I saw on the news today that the average life span of the American male is 78.8 years," Van Dyke told the audience. "I'm turning 89 years old in December. My God, I'm playing with house money!"
The gala ended with a brilliant performance by the Tenors, a Canadian quartet, singing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." The song left me feeling a little sad (Jeff Buckley's amazing rendition always comes to mind) and a lot grateful. Thanks to Alex and Maria and the organizers of the gala for a glamorous night!Follow JCK on Instagram: @jckmagazine

Good afternoon,
My name is Wendy Ripmeester - a volunteer with "Step into Christmas" Live Experience; a free interactive performance where guests take an outdoor tour of the town of Bethlehem as it was on the night of the very first Christmas, 2000 years ago.
"Step into Christmas" is fast becoming an annual holiday tradition for many families in Orléans – and with good reason, too: there's no other experience like it in the city! I thought that members of your community association would be interested in learning about – and might be interested in attending – this historically-based performance, now in its fourth year of production. Please consider this our invitation!
It's quite the production – and a labour of love – by the volunteers who put it on. The performance includes over 40 actors, live sheep and a donkey, 3 costumers and a 15 person construction crew that takes 12 hours to set up wooden structures outdoors, including two Bethlehem markets, the Inn, the synagogue, and the stable. The costumes and script have been researched to provide visitors with glimpses of the daily life and customs back then.
Last year's performance attracted over 500 people over two evenings, with many drawn from all over Orléans and beyond to the bright spotlight lighting up the night – our Bethlehem Star over the stable. And the seven-member hospitality crew served over 100 dozen cookies with hot chocolate and apple cider to warm guests up inside after their tour.
There is no cost for admission, however, non-perishable food and cash donations to the Orléans-Cumberland Community Resource Centre food bank are gratefully accepted. To see photos from past events and testimonials from "Step into Christmas" visitors, visit www.redeemeralliance.ca/step-into-christmas.
This year, "Step into Christmas" will take place on the evenings of Friday, November 30 from 6:00-8:30 pm and Saturday, December 1 from 5:00-8:30 pm at Redeemer Alliance Church, 4825 Innes Road.
You can find the event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/783668511974934/. Watch our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/RedeemerAllianceChurch/ and/or follow us on Twitter @RedeemerOrleans for more details as we get closer to the event.
I hope many community members from greater Orléans will "Step into Christmas" with us!
Wendy Ripmeester, on behalf of "Step into Christmas"

GIG REVIEW: Lady Gaga at Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam
I finally saw Lady Gaga live! It was a really long wait. First, I bought the tickets in early 2017, waiting online with a computer, a mobile and multiple browsers to make sure I could get tickets. It was sold out literally within minutes and I was lucky to score a pair of seated tickets in a good spot! Then, I thought I only had to wait 5 or so months until the concert, but unfortunately Lady Gaga has been ill and she had to postpone her European leg of the tour from October until January 2018. So indeed it was a very long wait!
But lucky us, she came and rocked the stage(s)! There were stages placed in the centre of the floor area and during one part of the show, these bridges came down from the ceiling and Lady Gaga and her dancers came walking over the bridges to the other stages, and finally a stage at the back of the standing area (which was in front of us!) which had her electric grand piano. She laughed at the die hard front row monsters and said that they thought that they were at the front of the stage and now they were at the back!
Although Joanne the album is quite chill compared to her earlier synth pop hits, she still put on a huge show especially for her old hits. It was like a theatre play, like the Wizard of Oz with dancers and costumes! But my favourite moment of course was when she was with just her and the piano. That's when she really shines.
The last song Lady Gaga performed was Million Reasons. She put her pink hat on the side and after the song was over, the piano (and her) started to sink down under the stage and she just disappeared without a word, leaving her pink hat behind. Then the stadium lights turned on. It was so sad because we didn't even have a chance to cheer her or say goodbye. And there was no encore either. Wow, it was such a powerful ending and I felt like a piece of me just left!
Thank you Lady Gaga for putting yourself out there for us, and hope you get well and strong soon.

State of Email
It was just a few days ago that it was 2013 and everyone was scrambling to get in the access queue for the Mailbox app. I was one of those along with a few friends. We would share our current place in the queue at lunch and discuss what efficiency Mailbox might bring to our email workflows. I also mused that Mailbox would be wildly popular if it could bring its features to Exchange mail users. After nearly 2 years and an acquisition by Dropbox, Mailbox has yet to add that functionality.
My Old Ways
When Mailbox failed to add Exchange support I gave up on hopes of being able to defer email to future dates. I stayed the course with my then method of dealing with email:
- Leave everything in the inbox. Use search to find old threads.
- Re-mark email as unread if it needed to be deferred. This required a constant monitor of what was unread due to being new versus marked unread for deferral purposes. This created a sort of friction in my whole process.
- Forward email to my Omnifocus email for items of a "to-do" nature that required a task to be managed.
- Sanebox was in the mix to help tackle my growing email inbox situation. This works decently well, but I tend to get mostly important emails in my work inbox. Essentially Sanebox sorts out all of the Out Of Office replies, marketing emails, and conference invitations. I still think it adds value, and it helps tremendously with my personal email, so I'm still a fan.
All of this has worked okay for me over the years but I've always wanted something that worked great. I need functionality to defer email and provide a process by which I can more easily share attachments, and check my calendar without switching apps before accepting calendar requests.
The New Me
Enter Acompli. I now manage my email by the following means:
- Do - respond to email or take action on it. This can be composing a response, performing a task, or supplying info. Once done, I archive it.
- Delegate - look at the email and determine if it is a task for someone else or can more effectively be dealt with by someone else. If so, forward it or make a request to the appropriate person who should act on it, then archive it.
- Defer - is the email for me but doesn't require action or response until a later date? If so, use the defer function in Acompli to bring the email back to my inbox at a specified future date and time. Doing this takes it off out of my inbox and reduces the small incremental "tax" I pay every time I see an unread email waiting for me to take action on it.
People often fail to grasp the importance of these mental "taxes". Imagine if you will someone handing you a sticky note with a to-do on it. you take it and stick it to your shirt so you won't forget. As you walk down the hall, you get another, and another, and another. Before long your shirt is covered with sticky notes and eventually you start sticking them over other sticky notes. No matter how much you want to remember which notes are covering others, you are still going to have to deal with the encumbrance of these sticky notes in your life. They will weigh you down and begin to affect your mental capacity to think creatively, find elegant solutions to problems, and relax when you get the chance. You will eventually find yourself relying on brute force solutions and massive amounts of time to get things done. This is not the kind of person I want to be. So I eliminate these small "taxes" whenever I get the chance.
All of these things are what I wanted for my Exchange mail back when Mailbox first launched. But Acompli does so much more than allowing me to defer emails. I also get a few other powerful features that make my day.
Forget Forwarding Attachments
With Acompli, I am able to send attachments from Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and Box.com. But that's not all. In the past if I was away from my desk and was asked to send someone an attachment I had received, I would search for that email and forward it along (read waiting on the server for results). This method also included the previous email thread unless the time was taken to edit and delete the inline email history. Unless it was a client facing email, I wouldn't always take this extra step.
Acompli allows attachments from other emails to be selected and included in a fresh new email without the email history. This feature works across email accounts and platforms giving the ability to send an attachment received via one email account on another email without the fuss of all the extra taps to change the Sender account and removal of the previous email thread. Selecting attachments is a breeze. Simply go to the file view and select the file you want to incorporate in a new email OR click the paperclip icon in the email composition window and choose a corresponding file in that dialogue from any of the cloud sources you set up.
Power Tip: More than one instance of Dropbox or other cloud servers can be added as needed. This can be very useful when trying to manage multiple email accounts from one app. This feature provides access to files across your work and personal Dropbox accounts.
Focused Email
The idea here is that you have email you need to focus on and then other email of lesser importance. This is a feature similar to what Sanebox offers with their @sanelater feature, but it happens live right in your inbox. Acompli learns which emails you tend to reply to most or "focus" on while it sorts everything else as other. It's all still in your inbox but this feature helps you prioiritize. If you don't like how it is sorting, you can tell it to sort specific mail as "Focused" or "Other" for the current message or all future from that sender. This is a nifty little feature that will help you cut through your email much quicker. Important email can be dealt with while you are in that frame of mind and all others can be taken care of later when you don't need to concentrate as intently.
Calendar events can be viewed in-app to allow for creation of events and responding to invites. Acompli also allows you to pick times that you are available to send to others on your team to help schedule meetings.
People Get Priority
Another powerful function in Acompli is the "People" view. There are several types of actions and info that can be accessed here. First you can quickly see who you communicate with the most and tap the compose icon to start an email.
Tapping on the person's name brings up a view unique profile "card" view of that person while still allowing access to a compose icon and a call icon to enable a quick phone call.
But wait, there's more!
On their profile card there are three views that can be toggled to view recent emails between the two of you, upcoming meetings, and files that have been shared. This is huge! No more searching through various folders or scrolling through recent email history to find an attachment from someone you communicate with frequently. I dare say that this is a more useful filter feature than I have access to on my desktop email client.
Design & Layout
I've been switching between the native iOS Mail app, Cloud Magic, and Boxer for quite some time until I found Acompli. I've really grown to love it's design and various information views it offers. I find it has just the right mix of information density without sacrificing a balance of clean design and functionality. It has become the email app that I recommend to people whenever they need something more than the default Mail app for iOS. I've been telling people I only make good recommendations these days and this is definitely in that category.
What I Would Add
If I could ask the devs at Acompli for a few more features it would be the following:
- Additional actions to share either with built-in custom share actions (Add to Evernote(<--1 mo of premium free on me), Omnifocus or Reminders, Pocket...) or Extension capabilities.
- Mac Desktop Client...and Windows for those of us forced to use one at work.
- Ability to set favorite people and arrange them in a custom order.
- Geolocation logistical time prompts that factor travel time for appointments.
The Saga Continues
I read yesterday that Acompli was bought by Microsoft for $200 million dollars. At first I was bummed because I imagined a world where Acompli was absorbed in the MS infrastructure like Google has done with some of their acquisitions (see Sparrow). This would mean support for Acompli apps would suffer and I'd be stuck looking for a new solution again. After reading about the acquisition and further thought I don't think this will happen any time soon. I look to see Microsoft continue support for this app and build a Windows mobile version as well. I'm cautiously optimistic that the features in Acompli will be around in one fashion or another: either as is with a 3rd party app look and feel or by being incorporated into the Microsoft Outlook app. That would be a shame because we would lose the ability to use the awesome features on other email platforms like iCloud, Gmail, etc. I guess we'll have to wait and see how they choose to integrate it with their Microsoft365 subscription.
In the meantime, I've jumped in head first and I'm loving it. I think you will love it as well, give it a try!

Along for the Ride with Tell Tale Signs
Columbia recording artist Bob Dylan's been slinging out the alt-takes, b-sides, throwaways, covers, live versions, and other unreleased tunes on the Bootleg Series since 1991. Of course, a bootleg ain't a bootleg if it is released officially, but I digress. If there's one thing that the series has proven, it is that often Dylan's best versions of his songs are left off the albums. . . and sometimes even the best songs are scratched, left in the backyard as Bob turns the lights out (I'm looking at you, "Blind Willie McTell").
Point is, the Bootleg series is rich with material, and Tell Tale Signs: The Bootleg Series Volume 8, is about as good as it gets. Chronicling the era between 1989's Oh Mercy and 2006's Modern Times, Tell Tale affords listeners a front road seat next to Dylan on his journey away from the burned out- leather jacket 80s to the ultimate bluesman, the songsmith so steeped in Americana that the man and the characters that populate his art are nearly indistinguishable. Tell Tale Signs paints the flowing veins of American song and culture, as our master artist Bob borrows, steals, begs, and creates his way through the landscape. There's an incredible stretch of songs on the first half of disc one- "Most of the Time" through "Dreamin' of You"- that stands up tall against anything else the man's done in his career.
Here's the best of Tell Tale Signs:
"Most of the Time":A raw acoustic & harmonica cut to the bone & hit to the core. He doesn't miss her- most of the time. So he still does.
"Someday Baby": A jumpy, bluesy band shimmers and shines polish on the edge of this number- Bob with a twinkle tin his eye and some well earned realism to impart.
"Red River Shore": Shockingly, this tune doesn't find a home on any album, but it is as great as anything released since 1997 in the catalog of Dylan. Hear Bobby reminisce, sadly. "Red River Shore" also features an impressive vocal from Dylan, as his voice hits all the right notes. Certain words are emphasized, others, rattled off; all of it: heartfelt. Was the girl from the Red River real?
"Tell 'Ol Bill": An icy walk through north country regret, "Tell 'Ol Bill" finds Bobby walkin' through the snow, as this edgy, wiry thin tune with roadhouse piano finds its path along the line of time. Joan Baez once reminiesced in "Diamonds and Rust" that Bob had "snow falling in this hair". It seems he paid attention to the song- his line here? "Snowflakes falling in my hair/ beneath the grey and stormy sky".
"Born in Time": A relaxed exhale of a song sung with laid back reassurance, emotional confidence, and wisdom. While other songs in this collection from this era are in tune with the seasons (and seasons of life- walking through the leaves falling from the trees on "Mississippi", walking though the summer nights on "Standing in the Doorway", and walking through the winter in "Tell 'Ol Bill) "Born in Time" is a cosmic recreation of simple twists of fate & connections that span across the land.
"Can't Wait": There might be a sense of anger, here, but also yearning for a lost love over a plate of slow and punchy blues.
"Dreamin' of You" features a sparse, meandering piano, the desert southwest, the searchers, the years of the detective. . . we all do see through the glass dimly, it's been said.
"God Knows" is a straightforward rocker, a clean, efficient, detailed list of what we should know when we are our best selves.
"Ain't Talkin'" is a romp through the mystical garden of life, angels and demons and spirits abound. . . part spooky part spiritual. Again, the singer is walking, and a sense of the fallen worlds sin lurks close at every corner. The picked acoustic sounds like a warning bell in slow motion, and sets a sublime, underground, naked-truth vibe from the start.
"Cross the Green Mountain"carries with it the slow chug of history. The band plays the music to match. It's a beautiful understanding of the horror of war (the American Civil War), as the fiddle hits home the emotional tug of historical destiny following each verse. This song is a vast statement- a living monument of sorts that charts its own course.

I never really thought
of this technique as worthy of being formally written into a post—it's just what I like to do with leftover cooked grains—but when a friend requested that we "make those rice balls again!" I thought maybe it was worth writing down.
You can cook the rice fresh, then chill it and make the cakes, but the easiest thing to do is to just make a double batch of rice the next time you cook it for something else, and then make this the next day. I like to make these with a soft, melty cheese, but a creamy goat cheese would also be nice.
Serve these alone as an appetizer, or with sautéed greens as a light vegetarian main course.
2 cloves garlic, minced pantry
2 cups chopped, de-stemmed kale (spinach or chard will also work) $1.50 for a bunch
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced 50 cents
1/2 teaspoon each salt and freshly ground black pepper pantry
Total cost of ingredients: $10
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for two minutes, until the onions begin to soften. Add the kale and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, for eight to nine minutes, until the onions begin to brown and the kale is completely wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
Stir the egg into the rice, then add the cooked vegetable mixture (don't put the pan away though—you'll use it again shortly) and the salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then scoop about 1/3 cup rice mixture (eyeball it) into your palm. Use your other hand to press it into a patty. Press a couple of tablespoons of shredded cheese onto the patty, then top with a small handful of rice and press into a cheese-filled patty. Repeat with the remaining rice and cheese (you should end up with four or five large patties, but feel free to make them smaller so you have more of them).
Heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil in the frying pan you used earlier over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook the patties for about four minutes on each side. If you go to flip them and they are still crumbly let them cook for another minute or two. You want them to have a thick, crunchy crust. Use extra caution when flipping them in the pan.
Serve immediately, or keep cooked rice cakes warm in a 200-degree oven until ready to serve.
Serves 4.

The recent Queensland Raceway 300 was a case of 'oh so close, but oh so far' for the Sherrin Racing outfit.
The team was enjoying a comfortable lead aboard the #18 Sherrin Racing BMW135i of brothers Iain and Grant Sherrin with just 10 laps to go, when a brake issue saw them into the turn three sand trap and out of the race. Earlier, the #19 Sherrin Racing entry of Michael Sherrin and David Ayres was forced to retire early due to visibility issues.
It was a bitterly disappointing end to a challenging day for the Sherrin Racing team, but as always the team has been sure to take away both lessons and drive from the event to use in their future racing – including the 'next up' round one of the Australian Production Car Series, to be held at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit across May 27-29.
"The QR 300 started off really well for us. In the #18, Grant did a good job qualifying to see us start on the front row, while in the #19 entry started from fifth after Mike set his best ever lap time around QR," explained Iain Sherrin.
"Grant started the race in the #18 and everything was going really well – we were running in second position and having a great battle Nathan Jess in his Future Racer, and then a massive storm hit the track.
"We had rain tyres on both cars so we stayed out, but we had an issue with visibility with an installation issue seeing our new demisting windscreens failing. Mike elected to come in and park the car, as he was particularly effected by the issue and did not want to risk a serious accident with the Phillip Island round of the Australian Production Car Series only weeks away.
"Grant continued on what was an extremely wet track which was resisting drying, and when there was another 'clamp-down' he came into pit lane and I took over the driving duties.
"Thankfully it was starting to dry out when the race restarted, and within ten to fifteen laps we were back to a normal race pace. We were a lap and a half down on the leader at this stage as we had to do two five-minute pit stops under the regulations while they only needed to do one, but I set to work and soon managed to not only make up the lap but also take over the lead by a comfortable margin.
"At this point, we looked on-track for a win. After coming second in both the Wakefield 300 and the Bathurst 6 Hour so far this year I was so excited to be looking at locking down that top spot of the podium – there were only 15 laps to go, and I had a comfortable gap. Unfortunately, as so often happens in racing, it just wasn't to be.
"Approaching turn 6 with 10 laps to go, the brake pedal went to the floor. I pulled up just in time, and pumped it up down the front and back straights, but it was no use, by the time I got to turn three, it was gone again and despite starting to break some 200 metres early, I found myself in the sand trap and it was game over.
"Upon review, it turns out that we had run out of brake pads and it was metal on metal. Even in that situation, we should have had some pedal, but unfortunately one of the pistons had come out too far and released the brake fluid oil, which meant that we had absolutely no pedal to work with.
"We run those pads everywhere and have never had an issue, so while it is an unfortunate situation, at least we know what happened and we can make sure that we keep an eye on it when we are back here at QR in August for the APCS' Fight in the Night.
"It was extremely disappointing to be leading the race and be so close and have something let go like that of course, but we are pushing harder and faster than ever before and we will just take what happened and make sure we do what we can to not have it happen again, and use that disappointment as drive to make up for it when he head to round one of the APCS later this month."
The Phillip Island event will be the first round of the 2016 Australian Production Car Series, and Sherrin Racing goes there as the ones to beat after taking out the CAMS production car titles in 2015.
"We are definitely very keen to get going in the APCS this year, and with an expected 25 cars on the grid at round one, it should be a big and exciting year for the entire field," said Iain Sherrin, who is also the category manager for the APCS.
"The team will be doing all we can to defend our outright, class and team championship titles, and we are looking forward to a great battle ahead. While things haven't gone to plan recently (at QR), that only makes us more determined than ever."

A family friend's generous gift allowed Adrian Fulle '95 to attend Columbia. Now, he's paying it forward with the Fulle Family Scholarship.
Adrian Fulle '95 studied Television at Columbia College Chicago, which started him on the journey to his current role as executive producer for Variety Content Studio. He and his wife, Cecilia, just pledged a $50,000 gift to create the Fulle Family Scholarship to provide financial support to students in the Semester in LA program. Here, Fulle talks about his inspiration to make the pledge.
Why did you decide to establish the Fulle Family Scholarship?
When I went to Columbia, my parents didn't have the money to send me to school. A friend of the family heard that I wanted to go to film school and they gave us the money. Not as a loan, but as a gift. They told me, "Make something of yourself and give back." Now I'm in the position to make good on that and give back.
I was talking with Sarah Schroeder in Alumni Relations about Semester in LA. I didn't know all the nuances of the cost of the program or what it takes for students to be able to participate in it. I was learning that some students don't have the financial means to come out here this semester, and when I remembered this promise I made, I thought, "OK, these two things line up perfectly. I should give back to some of the kids who deserve to come to LA."
How was it starting out in LA for you?
I moved to LA in the late '90s and when I got here, I didn't have a lot of money. On top of that, it's tough working in entertainment. It's feast or famine. I've been through it so much myself. The one [thing] that always made things tough was being stressed about paying the rent, buying groceries, etc. while you're trying to practice your craft and launch your career. In contrast, when I went to Columbia—thanks to that gift—that was one of the greatest time of my life. I didn't have to worry. I just showed up and got the education.
Why do you recommend alumni give back their time, talent, and treasure to Columbia students?
I wouldn't be where I am today without Columbia. The learning at Columbia, the actual getting out with the cameras and learning from that experience—I am pulling from those skills every day in my career leading up to now. The more I can help others who want to pursue storytelling, the better.

Praying Towards Sunday
Ten Bridesmaids
Some might say that the monastic life is one of a perpetual Lent. I am more inclined to agree with those that say that the monastic vocation is more of a perpetual Advent – a way of life that is about anticipating the coming of the Reality of God in Christ, a way that is given to waiting. But this waiting is not a passive waiting. It is instead filed with vitality and an energy of hope and expectation. Sunday's Gospel and it's telling of the parable of the ten bridesmaids gives us the first glimpse of the virtue of waiting, which will be once again be a common thread that runs through Advent. The parable also teaches us about another virtue, that of being prepared.
Weddings can be joyous and wonderful, but they also come with stress points, especially for the bride, the bridegroom, and their families, who try their best to hold the center of the celebration. There have been many stories throughout the ages that confirm that thigs can go wrong and often do, that sometimes there are surprises and unexpected delays. In the case of the parable of the ten bridesmaids, the unexpected was the delay in the arrival of the groom.
It was the custom at the time for the bridesmaids to wait with the bride's family for the arrival of the groom and when he arrived to light their lamps and process with him to his family's home where the festive wedding celebration would take place. So this is the contextual setting of the parable.
For many of us the idea of waiting and watching – of being on alert – for the arrival of the Divine Reality of God is something that is easy to understand. We need to be ready when the moment comes, whatever that means. But what does that actually mean? Does it mean the second coming of Christ? In the upcoming Advent season we will remember the initial in-breaking of God – the light piercing darkness of our world in the Divine Person of Jesus. We will also anticipate the future coming of Christ – or the returning of Christ. But what about the in-between time in which we are living. Jesus came to us some two-thousand years ago and yes, I believe he will come again – but could it also be that Christ continues to come to us each moment of every day in our lives. Is not the Reality of God incarnate in every breath and every heartbeat? I say yes. And this can dramatically affect how we live this spiritual experience we call life. But we must be sure that our spiritual lamps are well oiled, otherwise we may miss the moment – in each moment – of our lives.
The other thing that stands out for me is the seemingly lack of hospitality and generosity on the part of the bridesmaids who were prepare and asked to share what they had. Their response was no. This may seem incongruent with the spirit of compassion and love for your neighbor. But it feels to me like there is a deeper message to be heard, a greater lesson to be learned for us here. We cannot rely on other to do our spiritual work for us. And to be over-invested in doing the spiritual work for others is to deny them the opportunity to realize the fruits of their own spiritual labor.
On day I was talking to my monastic friend and teacher Brother Nick Radalmiller about my work in the jails and teaching with the inmates. He warned against letting people get too attached to me and my spirituality because to do so would deny them their own authentic path. That wisdom has served me well over the years, but the real benefit is seen in how other begin to form their own theology and discover their own spiritual identity.
So we must stay alert and at the ready not just in remembering the past or anticipating the future, but in every living, breathing moment of our lives, because God is continually coming. And we must find our oil, do our own spiritual work in order to have the rich experience that is unique to each and every one of us individually.

The Concept:
When washing your hair, follow the steps and use the Pre-wash Conditioner first, and follow with the Shampoo last. This leaves hair lighter and easier to style. Once hair is dry, finish by using the Hair Maximizer: Flexi-Max + Polishing Complex for bouncy, touchable hair.
I've now been using the two (in shower) products for about a week or two and can honestly say I am super impressed. A couple of key points that I have noticed:
1) My hair dries SUPER fast whenever I use these two products. I'm sure it is because having the shampoo second, the hair is less likely to be weighed down by any leftover conditioner, etc.
2) My hair is silky smooth, especially after using the Hair Maximizer.
3) Held styling really well. Backcombing went in and stayed amazingly, as did curling.
A couple cons:
1) I try my best to use more natural products, so using shampoo and conditioner with mainly ingredients I can hardly pronounce sometimes makes me cringe (however, the overall length of the ingredients list is a lot shorter on these products than I have noticed on others).
2) If I let my hair dry naturally with these and just leave it, it does get a tiny bit frizzier than normal, but is quickly managed by the Hair Maximizer cream.
3) It has the classic TRESemmé scent to it, which can be a pro or a con...depending on your opinion. For me, I kind of like it...but feel it may be a bit much for some.
The Verdict:
Yes, I completely agree that this Volume system from TRESemmé gives hair a ton of volume and in my opinion helps a lot in the pre-styling process. A great way to prep your hair. My hair felt lighter and thicker!

Funding and Production:
All of our funding goal here on Kickstarter will be used to produce and fulfill the Tat 2.
Once this project is fully funded, the manufacturer will receive the green light to start full production and sourcing of all components described here and shown on the sample Tat 2's.
When this campaign is over, I will keep all backers abreast of the progress through Kickstarter updates.
Once the watches are assembled and tested, they will be shipped to my fulfillment center, then packaged and shipped out to my backers. Each watch will be securely packaged to travel safely to your home.
Your pledge will enable us to progress the Tat 2 to full production. We will be using a combination of revenue from this Kickstarter project and my own personal investment to fund full production.
As with all ManchesterWatchWorks timepieces, this will be the one and only production run of the Tat 2 - proving exclusivity and affordability can co-exist.
Stretch Goals:
First stretch goal UNLOCKED: Third dial color choice (with or without date window) - Vibrant Autumn Orange (see render below)
Second stretch goal will be unlocked at $50,000: TBD by the crowd. Sound off in the 'Comments' section with suggestions.

The defense held strong for the rest of the game, not allowing another point.
Morro Bay 23, San Luis Obispo 14
