I had the opportunity to review Adored: 365 Devotions for Young Women. (Click on the link and you can download a sampler). This beautiful hardback book contains a year's worth of devotionals written for teenage girls. The devotional features a daily reading paired with a Scripture verse. Each day has a few lines for the reader to reflect on the day's words. The topics of the book include bullying, social media, friendship, and dating. The underlying message is to show readers how infinitely precious they are in God's sight. This book is designed for girls ages 13 and up. It retails for $14.99. I noticed it is currently (12/3/17) on sale for $8.49. I don't know how long that price will last. It is also available as an ebook.
|This image is available to download and share at Adored.
When our book arrived, I sat down with my 14 year old daughter and we looked at the book together The size is nice--about the same size at my iPad mini (but thicker). The pages all have a blue floral border (like those in the picture above and below). The day, the verse, and reference are all printed in blue. The reading is printed in black. The readings vary in length, but each one fits on one page. I read one aloud while my daughter timed it. Even reading slowly, it took about a minute and 10 seconds. Most readers would be able to read it in under 5 minutes. Each entry is numbered, but not dated. So the devotional can be started at any time. And if the reader misses a day, she can just continue where she left off.

Mobile commerce or m-commerce is growing with rapid advances. Retailers need to make sure they're equipped with the right tools that can help them attract new customers, as well as retain the existing ones. Mobile-first retail is vital to eCommerce success in 2018. Are you prepared? Do you need an instant approval merchant account?
This article will help you get answers to your questions.
Mobile Apps in eCommerce: What About an Instant Approval Merchant Account?
In 2018, an eCommerce app should be a vital part of your cross-channel retail presence. It can't be just an optional add-on. The top eCommerce apps now serve as integral elements of larger marketing strategies.
You, as a retailer, should use apps to get closer to your customers. Mobile apps can help you provide a better experience. They get the hard-financial returns from higher average order value, lower cost to serve and new sources of revenue.

Mobile Commerce in the UK
The shift to mobile brings about major consequences for retailers. According to AppAnnie, an app market data and insights company, the amount consumers worldwide will spend over mobile shopping apps will account for more than £82m in 2018.
According to Google and PayPal, by 2020, almost 2/3 of online retail (around £43bn annually) in the UK would be conducted via mobile. 4 in 5 transactions will involve a smartphone at some point in the purchase process.
In the next a few years, phone and tablet commerce in the UK alone is forecast to increase over 50%. According to a recent Deloitte mobile survey, 83% of people interact with their smartphone within the first 60 minutes of their day.

We shot 1,476 35mm film photos to make a music video for the band Floor Staff.Read More
Lomo Adventure in Sicily /
In June I visited Italy for the first time since I was inter-railing at 18: A week in Sicily & 10 hours in Milan before flying home.
The Gear
I decided to leave the digital camera at home.
I did this for a few reasons - 1) I didn't want to spend the entire trip behind an LCD screen and 2) I had just received a batch of expired film that was eager to try out and 3) space was tight in my cabin bag.
I'd be seeing some amazing landscapes and sights so I wanted to take my trusty 6x6 medium format Zeiss Ikon Nettar (Below, from around 1959 - Almost 60 years old!) which I had just got serviced.
The cameras & film I brought with me to Sicily (Canon EOS 50e [late 90's] & my Zeiss Ikon Nettar [Late 50's])
As for the film… well, there was some fun stuff. Below are what I shot on, what I rated them at & some photos.
How Did I Rate The Film?
This batch was unrefrigerated from I gathered so I didn't to throw plenty of light at it to minimise grain. In my books overexpose is always good when we're talking film.
For every 10 years the film was out of date - +1 stop of exposure. Ideally, I would always overexpose film by at least 1 full stop.
Agfa Optima 100 (Exp. 1999) - I had wanted to shoot some Agfa for years but only ever managed to shoot the B&W APX. I rated it at 25.
The results were pretty good, a little grainier than a 100 speed film should be but that's OK.
Fuji NPC160 (Exp. ??) - I always knew this would not be a revelatory experience... I had shot most of the similar films like this but never this particular one. Didn't know exactly how old it was, but I rated it at 64.
Ektachrome 200 (Exp. ??) - This I was excited about. I had shot a little Ektachrome in 16mm cine film but never stills (screengrab below from when I was still in college). I even knew how I'd use it - on Mount Etna to capture those blues and greens. I wasn't sure how old it was because it came without a carton but I rated it at 50.
Was I disappointed with how it turned out? Yes I was. For me, it was pretty ugly. Maybe I didn't more light to minimise the magenta hue?
120 Film
Fuji FII (Expired 1984) - this was, by far, the gnarliest film I got my hands on and the biggest unknown factor. It was a 100 speed film that expired way back in 1984; making it almost as old as me. I believe many moons ago I shot the 16mm cine film version and the results were pretty interesting. I ended up rating it at 12.
Results were... like nothing I had ever seen - As I should have expected. Super psychedelic and interesting like some over-edited Instagram photo but in this case #nofilter.
Fuji Velvia 50 (Exp. 1999?) - I had never shot any version of Fujis famous Velvia line of pro slide film and I was very excited at the chance to do so on this trip. Rated at 12/25.
Unfortunately... I did something very dumb and didnt wrap up the roll tight enough when unloading so I destroyed some exposures... was I happy with what turned out though? Sure. For me though Velvia showed maybe a bit too much contrast.
Fujichrome 100D (Slide film, Exp. 1994) - something about shooting a film that expired in the year of the 1994 World Cup was a hoot to me. I knew nothing about this predecessor to the Velvia line but knew I'd have to rate it at 25.
I was very happy with how this turned out. I liked the look, the contrast and pretty much everything. I'd be eager to get my hands on some more of this.
It was alot of fun. Going on holidays without really having an idea what the finished photos will look like is alot of fun.
But really, shooting slide film that is expired - It's a real gamble, at least if it hasnt been kept cool.
More than ever - Digital for Work/Film for Fun.

This week's Friday's Fab Photographer is Morgana Creely.
Thank you for this great opportunity. :)
This image was the most challenging to create in that I wanted the shot to look like it was lit entirely with the ambient light in the room and from the window. In fact it is a mixture of ambient and Speedlight [small flash].
The unmodified Speedlight was positioned fairly low to the ground, pointing from the right of room towards the model to mimic light from the window. This allowed me to light the model's face [which otherwise would have been in darkness] without throwing additional shadows on the back wall.
One of my favourite images, this was shot very early one morning in a local cemetery. We had permission from the caretaker to shoot within the premises and in a location like this are always respectful of the location.
The model is lit by a single unmodified Speedlite which is placed on the outside of the fence railing to create the shadows.
The outfits for these shoots were sourced from my props wardrobe or the models with the exception of the colour "bus stop" outfit which was rented for less than $100. Whilst I am very fortunate to have studio lights, when I'm on location I rely entirely on my Speedlights.
The old adage is true; it's not what you got, it's what you do with it.
A big thank you to Rick Sammon for the guest blog.

Thinking about giving the gift of Beats this year? As of last week, you've got one more option, and it's the most feel-good option yet. In partnership with Product Red, the Apple-owned audio company is adding a citrus red colorway to their Solo3 Wireless headphones and Pill+ Bluetooth wireless speaker.
The Beats Solo3 Wireless headphones were announced at the iPhone 7 launch in September. The next generation of Beats' slimmer, travel-friendly on-ear headphones have Apple's new W1 wireless chip, which helps sync them seamlessly across all Apple devices owned by one user. The Beats Pill+ is the updated version of the company's pill-shaped portable wireless speaker, which we thought offered far improved audio quality compared to the first generation Pill.
Product Red has been around since 2006, and has been responsible for a lot of red colorways over the years. Their trademark red is associated with their work with the Global Fund in raising money for AIDS research. As usual, some part of the revenue earned from sales of the red Beats will be donated to the Global Fund. The Product Red Beats Solo3 Wireless and Beats Pill+ will still retail for the same prices from the Apple store, at $300 and $230 respectively.

Lancaster, TX/Lancaster ISD
The Lancaster Independent School District announces the ribbon cutting and grand opening of two new Pleasant Run and West Main elementary campuses.
Located on the sites of the original buildings, district leaders, parents and community members will gather to officially cut the ribbon and mark the opening of these two new state-of-the-art facilities on Saturday, August 19.
The West Main Elementary ribbon cutting ceremony will begin at 9 AM and the Pleasant Run ceremony will follow at 10:30 AM. Both events will feature remarks from the Lancaster ISD Board President Ty G. Jones, Superintendent Dr. Mike McFarland as well as the Mayor of Lancaster, the Honorable Marcus E. Knight. In addition, the Lancaster Alum Group, represented by School Board member Ellen Clark, will make a special dedication. At the West Main ceremony, West Main Alumnus W.M. Pinson, Jr. will do the invocation and the principal, Nakesha Reddick, will also have remarks. For the Pleasant Run ceremony, former longtime principal Cindy Lynch will do the invocation with principal Kelli Watson sharing remarks as well.
The two new multi-million dollar structures have 21st Century education features and a tornado shelter integrated into the facility design. Each school has been designed so that any part of the facility – indoors and out – can be used as a learning space. Also, each campus facility will have natural lighting in every classroom and augmented energy efficiency. The two new future forward facilities replaced the two outdated facilities that were more than 60 years old and part of the original buildings in the school district's initial expansion. The original West Main was constructed in 1951 and Pleasant Run Elementary School was built in 1955, respectively.
The two new schools were built using funds approved by Lancaster voters during a May 9, 2015 $125.9 million bond election. The new West Main campus is estimated at $24 million and will house just under 730 students and the new Pleasant Run will house just under 840 and costs about $25.9 million.
During this project, the core team consisted of Dikita (Program Manager), Huckabee (Architect) and Pogue (Construction Company) and Lancaster ISD's Chief Operations Officer Gregory Buchanan.
Everyone is welcomed to participate in this milestone achievement for Lancaster ISD and its community of stakeholders.
Following both ceremonies, the campuses will host their Back-to-School events.

Why isn't my house selling?
Is your home listed but receiving few or no showings? If your home is listed, but not being shown – is your list price too high, OR could it be something else? Before automatically throwing your hands up and feeling like you have no choice but to lower your home price, take a moment to analyze your current listing presence.
In today's "digital age", nearly all consumers start the process of shopping for their next home on the internet. If a seller's home does not have great internet presence or does not show well online, the home will likely sit until the seller changes those very critical requirements OR until the seller lowers the price BELOW market value in order to entice a buyer to look at the home only because "it's a deal".
A typical buyer "shops" online by searching homes and avidly viewing photos. If the home shows poorly online, the home will likely be eliminated from their "list" of homes to make appointments to see. So how can you ensure your home will show well online and be on a buyer's viewing list?
1) Staging: The importance of having a home professionally staged is critical. A staging service will help the seller eliminate clutter, add touches of warmth to a room, rearrange furniture to maximize space, and make recommendations that will ultimately give a great first impression for the buyer– both online as well as in person. A great stager will have an eye for staging a home with photos as the main end product.
2) Photography: A professional real estate photographer is recommended. A photographer who is accustomed to photographing real estate will have a critical eye for detail that will best showcase each room of the home as well as maximize natural light or add light where needed.
3) Realtor: Lastly, a seller should list their home with a proven Listing Specialist who has the resources to ensure the listing is reaching all of the online sites that are critical for ultimate success.
If a home is staged properly, great photos are taken, maximum exposure online is achieved and the home still isn't selling, then the homeowner can truly summarize that the asking price for the home is too high.

Six years ago, I was on my way to a gathering of Presbyterian clergywomen here in the DC area. I was running late. I took several wrong turns and got lost. There was bad traffic. And I had baby Margaret in the backseat, who was letting me know how eager she was to get wherever the heck we were going.
We were both hungrumpy. Plus I was in that overwhelmed, sleep-deprived state. Maybe you know the one? I almost turned around and went home. But I didn't, and there was still plenty of food from Lebanese Taverna when I arrived.
After lunch, we went around and introduced ourselves. A friendly-looking woman I'd never met introduced herself as Ruth Everhart and said, "By way of networking, I would be interested in forming a group of writers. So if any of you write, talk to me after we're done here."
I got a sharp elbow in the ribs from the friend sitting next to me. After the meeting ended, I introduced myself to Ruth. Others did too. Before we left that day, we had a group of 5.
We are the Writing Revs. And I can say with near certainty that there would have been no book without them.
Now granted, Presbyterian clergywomen are a peculiar subset of society. Still, it's kind of amazing that it worked as well as it has. We didn't vet each other. We didn't try it out for a while. We just dove in and started meeting. Those original 5 met for quite a while. Sadly, one passed away. Two have moved away. Happily, others have joined us.
Ruth and two other Wrevs hosted an event for me yesterday at presbytery, and it was so delightful. Ruth wrote about it here at her blog. It's called "A Writing Group Can Wave Your Flag." It's a post about friendship and accountability and how hard it can be to promote our work, so it's nice to have others help you along.
Ruth was a great carnival barker: "Come in! Congratulate the author! Have a cookie! Buy a book!" I sold and signed and gave out post-it notes. I can't wait to reverse roles in November as we celebrate Ruth's book, Chasing the Divine in the Holy Land. Ruth's book is part travelogue, part theological memoir. It's funny and deep and eloquent.
I'm very glad I didn't give up on that clergy meeting six years ago.
And not just because my Wrevs make THE best cookies.

Maricopa County, AZ – Self Proclaimed "America's" Sheriff Joe Arpaio is planning on making a second announcement concerning his "investigation" into President Obama's eligibility to run for President or hold the office of President. He plans to make the announcement in lat May or early June.
Sheriff Arpaio has named his investigatory team the "Cold Case Posse". Mike Zullo, the "Posse's" lead investigator told CBS News 5 that the announcement will release new findings including the mystery of Obama's 1980 registration for the draft.
Zullo told CBS,
"We didn't make a mistake the first time. We're not making a mistake this time. The Sheriff, he really thought [the investigation] would have settled the issue last time. I thought it would have cleared it up the last time."
Shortly after President Obama released his long form birth certificate Arpaio and the Posse announced that their investigation into the birth certificate proved it was a fake. What made the announcement interesting was just how little anyone cared.
During his recent interview Zullo sad that he didn't believe this new announcement would have any impact whatsoever on the Birther case. He was asked by CBS News 5 if he thought it would have an impact and he just said "no".
Arpaio previously called his investigation into the President's birth certificate a "favor" to Obama.
Arpaio said on Tuesday,
"What should I do, throw it in the waste basket and forget about it, like everyone else is this country has done? But once again, I take my elected sheriff's status very serious, and when the people ask me to do something I try to do it regardless of the repercussions, the politics and the media."

A few weeks ago I posted about our little Hampstead Mary Poppins life, and I mentioned that Julie Andrews would have to be one of my dream dinner party guests. A friend then posed the question, who else would be sitting around the table of my dream dinner part? And so I had a bit of a think about who I would invite, and so here is my list of childhood icons and current day idols that I dream of sharing a meal with...
1. My husband Pete. He would always be my number one dinner guest. I couldn't imagine any important moment in my life that isn't shared with Pete, it just wouldn't make sense to me. And also, he is such a wonderful host, he has a wonderful way of putting everyone at ease while I blush like a nervous school girl! If anyone can manage the wine list for a night like this, Pete is your man!
2. Gordon Ramsay. I would be nervous the entire time, and would probably become a little bit of a potty mouth as a result, but would love to just sit and pick his brain about different methods of cooking. I would love to hear more about his transition into one of the most decorated chefs in the world. I would want to know his favourite meals, and would tell him that it started an hour or two earlier just so he could help me out in the kitchen!!
3. Princess Mary. Crown Princess Mary of Denmark is an Australian girl who met a guy "Fred" at a bar in Sydney during the 2000 Olympics. Turns out, "Fred" just so happened to be the Crown Prince of Denmark, and they fell in love, got married and now have four adorable children together, living out their happily ever after in Copenhagen. She is so elegant and mature, and is living a real life fairytale. I invited her (and the Queen) to our wedding, so of course I would have her at dinner!
4. Dame Julie Andrews. I want to learn more about her life and how she has maintained such elegance and dignity throughout her life. I would also of course want some parenting tips (outside from just a spoon full of sugar), and have her sing grace before dinner! Julie Andrews seems to be such a strong and capable woman. I would love to hear about her early career on Broadway and just listen to her beautiful accent for a few hours!
5. Martha Stewart. I would just want to sit and talk shop. I want to know how she had the confidence to launch her ideas into the biggest creative empire in the world. I want to talk to her about my creative vision and get some advice on all the millions of ideas cluttering my head. I would probably take my financial questions elsewhere though. Too mean. But talking about food and creativity would be so inspiring.
6. Mindy Kaling. You always need someone who can bring together a group of random people and lighten the conversation. I find Mindy absolutely hilarious. I've been giggling my way through her book and just find her sense of humour aligned with my funny bone, and when I'm done blushing from all the hugely intimidating other guests, I just feel like her and I would be best buddies!
7. David Attenborough. Could you imagine the stories he must have? It would be incredibly fascinating just spinning a globe and picking a landscape for him to tell you his adventures of that area and the animals he encountered. I would need to sit there with a pen and pencil and come up with a stellar list of places to see before we die! To hear the voice that everyone has been listening to in documentaries for the past 50 years would be such a treat!
8. Sir Charles Kingsford Smith. I'm not sure if you would know this about me, but I have a side interest in aviation. I did some flying lessons when we lived in Melbourne and just loved it. One day, I would love to get back into the cockpit and get skilled up! Sir Kingsford Smith was an Australian aviator who did the first trans-Pacific flight from the US to Australia, the first non-stop flight across Australia & the first trans-Tasman flight from Australia to New Zealand. He was the original Maverick and I would love to listen to all the adventures he had.
9. Megan Follows. But you would probably know her better as Anne Shirley. I always thought I would be a wonderful Megan of Green Gables. I have loved Anne for as long as I can remember. It was her who taught me that my imagination, sentimentality and romanticism could be strengths, or at the very least, constitute a large component of what makes me, me. I would want to know how Gil is now, because in my vivid imagination they are growing old together in Avonlea. I think Megan Follows is a brilliant actress and would just love to meet her!
So there you have it, my dream dinner party guest list. I of course am number 10, of course! I started thinking of what I could possibly serve all of these phenomenal people, but got flustered even pretend-planning, so thought i'd just imagine a wonderful blend of Australian cuisine mixed in with all my favourite elements of food we've tasted in our travels.
I had so much fun thinking of who I would love to sit and natter with all night, and for a few moments, actually thought it might be a possibility too, so its good to have my list solid in case a magic genie appears! Have you given much thought to who you would invite to your dream dinner party?

The abstract for the Enterprise 2013 System z program runs 43 pages. Haven't tallied the number of sessions offered but there certainly are enough to keep you busy for the entire conference (Oct. 20-25, in Orlando, register now) and longer.
Just the storage-related sessions are wide ranging, from DFSM, which DancingDinosaur covered a few weeks back following the SHARE Boston event here, to the IBM Flash portfolio, System z Flash Express, dynamically provisioning Linux on z storage, capacity management, and more. For storage newcomers, there even is a two-part session on System z Storage Basics.
A storage session titled the Evolution of Space Management looks interesting. After the advent of System Managed Storage (SMS), the mainframe went decades without much change in the landscape of space management processing. Space management consisted of the standard three-tier hierarchy of Primary Level 0 and the two Migration tiers, Migration Level 1 (disk) and Migration Level 2 (tape).This session examines recent advances in both tape and disk technologies that have dramatically changed that landscape and provided new opportunities for managing data on the z. Maybe they will add a level above primary called flash next year. This session will cover how the advances are evolving the space management hierarchy and what to consider when determining which solutions are best for your environment.
IBM has been going hog-wild with flash, the TMS acquisition playing no small part no doubt. Any number of sessions deal with flash storage. This one, IBM's Flash Portfolio and Futures, seems particularly appealing. It takes a look at how IBM has acquired and improved upon flash technology over what amounts to eight generations technology refinements. The session will look at how flash will play a major role across not only IBM's storage products but IBM's overall solution portfolio. Flash technology is changing the way companies are managing their data today and it is changing the way they understand and manage the economics of technology. This session also will cover how IBM plans to leverage flash in its roadmap moving forward.
Hybrid computing is another phenomenon that has swept over the z in recent years. For that reason this session looks especially interesting, Exploring the World of zEnterprise Hybrid: How Does It Work and What's the Point? The IBM zEnterprise hybrid system introduces the Unified Resource Manager, allowing an IT shop to manage a collection of one or more zEnterprise nodes, including an optionally attached zBX loaded with blades for different platforms, as a single logical virtualized system through a single mainframe console. The mainframe can now act as the primary point of control through which data center personnel can deploy, configure, monitor, manage, and maintain the integrated System z and zBX blades based on heterogeneous architectures but in a unified manner. It amounts to a new world of blades and virtual servers with the z at the center of it.
Maybe one of the hardest things for traditional z data center managers to get their heads around is social business on the mainframe. But here it is: IBM DevOps Solution: Accelerating the Delivery of Multiplatform Applications looks at social business and mobile along with big data, and cloud technologies as driving the demand for faster approaches to software delivery across all platforms, middleware, and devices. The ultimate goal is to push out more features in each release and get more releases out the door with confidence, while maintaining compliance and quality. To succeed, some cultural, process, and technology gaps must be addressed through tools from Rational.
IBM has even set itself up as a poster child for social business in another session, Social Business and Collaboration at IBM, which features the current deployment within IBM of its social business and collaboration environments. Major core components are currently deployed on System z. The session will look at what IBM is doing and how they do it and the advantages and benefits it experiences.
Next week, the last DancingDinosaur posting before Enterprise 2013 begins will look at some other sessions, including software defined everything and Linux on z.
When DancingDinosaur first started writing about the mainframe over 20 years ago it was a big, powerful (for the time), solid performer that handled a few core tasks, did them remarkably well, and still does so today. At that time even the mainframe's most ardent supporters didn't imagine the wide variety of things it does now as can be found at Enterprise 2013.
Please follow DancingDinosaur and its sister blogs on Twitter, @mainframeblog.

Most Misleading Headline
31st March 2016 - 1st april 2017
Nominate the most misleading headline in a national newspaper or magazine over the last year. It's a very rich field.
The Daily Express leads the way in sheer quantity of complete tosh about migrants and the weather on its front page. But the Mail and the Sun are not far behind. But we're looking for the most MISLEADING headline - in other words a front page which has little connection with the article that follows or underlying research
Typical examples would include the Sun's 1 in 5 Muslims, or Queen Backs Brexit, the Times' 'Labour's £1ooo Tax Bombshell', or 'We Come from Europe' from the Daily Mail.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: open
UltraDNS who look after the TLD .info and soon the .org were hit badly at the end of last week. They reported that it wasnt a very large attack but it was enough to worry them and it realy tested their resources.
It was roughly a month ago that the root DNS servers took abit of a hammering with a DDOS and 7 out of the 13 were taken out of action for an hour.
Is this to be a regular thing, if so what is the future of the net, will all DNS servers live in fear of one day being so badly hit that the net grinds to holt, it would have to be a huge attack I know, but its not out of the question!
What does everyone else think?

Courier and Delivery Services
Index : 570 | 1Yr : -24.51% | 1Mo : +6.18%
Category : Sectoral Trackers
Min Investment : 9,993
Logistics is big business and there is an increased demand for deliveries in both B2B and B2C segments. The unique selling proposition (USP) is primarily volume and on-time deliveries. Business growth is largely dependant on business contracts with companies. In the recent years, the e-commerce logistics services has been the fastest growing business vertical for the sector with a CAGR of 35% in 2016.
Economies of scale plays a very important factor and the industry is exposed to competition from new players as entry barriers are very low. Local market conditions play a big role in their performance. The SME sector is the main disruption factor to their expansion plans as courier & delivery services are homogeneous. The industry is also prone to fluctuations due to changes in the business cycle and drastic changes in fuel prices can increase their logistics cost thereby intensifying the situation.
The progress of road infrastructure and development is a leading indicator of the scope and efficiency of these companies. Improvement in railway logistics can also give it a boost. The Goods & Services Tax (GST) has benefited this sector by centralizing inventory into larger regional warehouses and improved travel speeds due to reduction in regulatory delays. The simplification of the tax structure will encourage efficient supply chain management rather than tax-based network decisions. Invest in companies which have a vast network and can continue to maintain growth in the future.

Huntress FAQ
What was your inspiration for Huntress?
During the course of writing Ash I became curious about exactly how the job of the huntress originated. If you've read Ash, you'll remember that every year during Yule, the King's Huntress leads her hunters into the City square and tosses out gold coins to the citizens. She and her hunters dance around the bonfire and sing an old hunting song. At one point in Ash, Kaisa explains to Ash:
"It is said that many hundreds of years ago, when fairies still walked the land and the King's Huntress was appointed to go between both courts, a powerful greenwitch was called upon to cast a spell that would ensure the huntress's safe return each time she visited the fairy court. But in order for the spell to hold, each time the huntress went into that other world, she had to gather all of her hunters together to chant the words, for that would bind her to this world. If they ever did not say the spell together before she left for the fairy court, she might never be able to return."
The part that I kept returning to was the idea that the huntress was appointed to go between the human and fairy worlds — sort of as an ambassador. I started to wonder how exactly that had come to be. From that kernel, I began to spin out a story about the very first huntress in the Kingdom.
I knew that I wanted certain things in the story: A girl having an adventure. A romance with sexual tension. A world on the verge of dying (I'm a big fan of dystopians). Powerful, creepy fairies. Weapons. And I wanted it to be a hero's quest. As I noted in my writing journal back in October 2008 when I was figuring out what would happen, "The point of the quest is to bring order and harmony back to the mortal world."
Putting all those things together, the book that came out was Huntress.
I didn't realize that Huntress was based in Chinese culture. Am I missing something?
Read this post for my answer to this question.
Will there be a sequel to Huntress?

BOTB's Top 3 Ultimate Off-Roaders {{favouriteCount}}17 Jan 2017
The rise in popularity of 4x4 vehicles in the last 10 years has been incredible, with sales going through the roof. We're celebrating this with our epic 4x4xHalf sale this week, with lots of our 4x4's at half price, but whereas these are mainly SUVs, we all love a proper hardcore off road vehicle. So we've chosen our top three ultimate off roaders to see what you can do when you really push the envelope…
3 – Twisted Land Rover Defender V8
The Land Rover Defender is one of the most iconic cars on sale today. With a look that dates back to the 1940s it has gone from being a farmer's workhorse to somewhat of a style icon with tuning companies galore adding bigger off road wheels, bodykits and more luxurious interiors. Undoubtedly the kings of the reimagined Defenders are Twisted and none more so than their bonkers 100 V8. The subtle exterior modifications like nicer wheels, upgraded lights and grille and slightly more bulbous bonnet hide the real work to the world – under the bonnet sits a 6.2 litre Chevrolet LS-Series V8 producing 520bhp which means it can hit 60mph in just 6.0 seconds. It handles better than any Defender should as well thanks to bespoke dampers and anti-roll bars, while still retaining all the off road ability these 4x4s are famous for. After all that, the £150,000 asking price seems reasonable…
2 – Toyota Hilux by Artic Trucks
Fans of Top Gear will recognise this Toyota Hilux as it was one of these that took Clarkson and May to the magnetic North Pole in their Polar Special. What you start with is a Hilux, known as one of the most indestructible vehicles on sale, then give it to Artctic Trucks in Iceland. They fit a huge lift kit, enormous 44-inch x 18.5-inch tyres, massive wheelarch extensions and a huge amount of safety and expedition equipment like crevasse bars, winches and long range fuel tanks. What you're left with is a 4x4 that can tackle absolutely any terrain the arctic tundra can throw at it. Much like the Twisted Defender, you won't get a whole lot of change from £150k, but ask yourself this – what else would take you to the North Pole?
1 – Brabus 6x6 B63S 700
Even the Arctic Hilux would be dwarfed by our top choice, and that's saying something. Mercedes launched their crazy G63 6x6 and everyone with a hint of petrol in their veins got more than a tiny bit excited. A huge off-roader with twin rear axles, jacked up suspension and a 536bhp V8, it looked amazingly butch and cost a ridiculous £300,000. But as with any crazy AMG Mercedes, there are some people out there who want more crazy and the good people at Brabus are always happy to help out and the 6x6 was no exception. So, bigger turbochargers, a new ECU, gold wrapped intakes and a freer flowing exhaust were fitted, the result being a truly hilarious 690bhp and 728lb/ft of torque and 0-62mph in 4.4 seconds – that's quicker than a Bentley Continental V8. In a 3775kg truck. It's also got self-inflating tyres and carbon body trim, and does 11mpg. Oh, and it costs £470,000. But that's why it's our ultimate off-roader!

Hey Show Ponies Fans! Jason Hawk Harris has been to Brewminatti before, as the guitarist and part-time vocalist with the Ponies. He has ventured out on a solo career and is receiving great reviews. Plus he will be accompanied on this tour by Philip Glenn, who was the fiddler with the Show Ponies. This should be a great night.
The Smoke And The Stars is a stunning weary ballad akin to Jason Isbell and Ryan Bingham. It's the kind of song that flat out refuses to be background music. It will pull you in, make you emotional and after 5 minutes and 22 seconds, you'll play it again." 50 Third and 3rd.
"Tracks like this keep me blogging; honestly it's the kind of song that you just don't expect and it knocks you back in your seat. The layers of harmonics and brilliant sounds lead into a powerful melody full of raw depth and emotion. Fans of Noah Gundersen and David Ramirez will enjoy this track. It's the real deal." Ear To The Ground Music
"Describing his music as Meta-Apocalyptic Country/Americana Grief-Grass we get the idea that you're never going to pin down exactly what Harris will deliver next but you can be sure that it will contain a meticulous amount of soul and passion. We cannot wait to hear more." Big Bad Buckle

The role that owls plays in food chains is generally that of consumers, and they are often apex predators. Owls eat other animals, but few to no animals, depending on the food chain, eat mature owls.
A food chain or food web consists of different trophic levels. A trophic level is a rank in the chain indicating what an animal feeds on. For example, autotrophs such as trees use photosynthesis to feed themselves. Autotrophs exist at the trophic level of producers: they generate the food that other creatures eat.
Animals like mice are consumers. They consume autotrophs. Because they eat autotrophs, they are on the next trophic level up from them and are called primary consumers. Animals, such as snakes, that eat mice, are also consumers, but they are another trophic level above mice because they feed upon them. They are secondary consumers.
Apex predators are creatures that eat other consumers and that have no creatures with a trophic level higher than them on their food chain. Owls are generally considered apex predators, though some owl species may be preyed upon by other owls. Owls are predatory birds, so even those that are not apex predators are still consumers.

There are several different ways to invest in Forex online. The Forex market is very volatile, however, so it's important that you go into it knowing what you're doing. I'm going to talk to you today about a few of these methods, and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
This is when you buy a significant amount of a currency with the intention of holding onto it for a long time. The point of this is that you're not trading on the frequent price fluctuations that occur on the Forex market. Instead you're making a long term bet that in a month or six months or a year the currency is going to be worth a fair bit more than it was when you first bought it.
The advantage to long term investing when you trade Forex online is that you're not subject to all of the crazy ways in which prices can go up and down over smaller time frames. If you buy $10,000 worth of Euros that can drop to $8000 in very short order. But if there's an overall trend of the Euro price going up over several months against the US dollar, then you can weather short-term losses with the hope that the major trend stays the same. The disadvantage is that you have to wait. You might not be subject to all of the ups and downs of day trading or scalping, but you have to be patient before you get to actually see that significant return. And it can be tempting if you see your deposit shrinking to make a move to reverse that loss. Still though, without a lot of knowledge of how the Forex market works day-to-day, it's your safest bet.
Here you need a little more experience. Now you're looking at charts and using indicators to try to determine how a currency is going to perform within a few hours or days. You're studying trends to try to find the best point in which to enter a trade, and determine the optimal point to get out again before the trend shifts.
The advantage to day trading is that you can make more profit, quicker. If you're experienced enough to use indicators like Stochastic or RSI, you can recognize certain patterns in the Forex market and learn when to buy and when to sell to make the most profit. You're still not risking the huge percentages of your deposit that you have to to make scalping profitable, and you get to see your returns in much shorter time than you do with long term investing. The disadvantage is that you really have to know what you're doing. You have to be confident in your trading strategy, and have the nerve to see it through even when losses happen, which they will. The whole purpose is to make money quickly, and so you're risking enough that you can lose money just as quickly if you don't know what you're doing. This is not the place for a beginner trader.
When you invest in Forex online, scalping is extremely dangerous. This is the practice of making trades within seconds. You open and close a position in under a minute. Then you repeat that several hundred times, making tiny profits each time.
The pros are that the fluctuations in that amount of time are miniscule. You're looking to make a few pips with each trade and then get out as quickly as you can. When you're losing you're only losing a few pips at a time and then getting out as well. If you can maintain a winning rate of over 50 per cent, then you're going to profit overall. The disadvantages are numerous, however, especially to a new trader. You really, really have to know what you're doing. Like in any other profession, you have to study or apprentice before you can go out on your own. Scalping is like that – if you're brand new, you can lose everything very quickly. You need to be able to read trends and know exactly when to open a position. You need to be so comfortable and fearless with your trading strategy that you can jump in and out without letting the outcome affect you. And you have to risk a large amount of your deposit each time to make these tiny trades worth it, so if you don't know what you're doing, a string of bad trades can wipe you out.

Shoulders - Lying DumbbelL Lateral Raises
- Take hold of a suitable weight dumbbell and lie sideways on a flat bench, propping yourself up onto your elbow so it is perpendicular to the bench. The dumbbell should rest sideways on your upper thigh. This is the starting position.
- From the starting position, raise the arms upward keeping a slight bend in the elbow and breathing out as you lift. Pause at the top for a second. The "top" of the movement is when the shoulder joint is at a 90 degree angle to the body (for a larger range of motion, you may start the dumbbell either just in front of the thigh or behind the glute).
- Lower the dumbbell back and down to the starting position.

How to Build a Productive Mindset
posted in: Habits, List, Productivity | 0
It was 9 a.m. at that moment when I started writing this article. As soon as I had typed the first sentence, I heard a loud noise outside. To my surprise I found builders hitting their metal hammers at the … Continued

The challenge this week is "Home." Shooting this week was much easier than last week, I didn't have a sick kid to deal with. I thought that I would kill two birds with one stone in my first attempt to capture the concept of "home." 80% of the pictures I have taken, since taking up this little hobby, are pictures of The Boy. I thought that I would use my flash again and take some pictures of The Boy.
Good idea, right? Continue to learn to use flash and get cute pictures of the boy. Of course, I ran into some issues. The first is that I made a basic mistake. I didn't change the settings for the camera from the last time I used it when I was shooting snow. Fortunately I fixed that pretty quickly. The other issue is that The Boy was not interested in sitting for a portrait. He just wanted to watch one of his annoyingly loud kids educational show (seriously, can Dora get any more annoying?). He did let me shoot away while he watched TV. I just didn't get anything that I was happy with. The issue was with the photographer, not the subject. Then when I went to process the pictures I realized they were all underexposed. Using a flash is not easy. I struggled with setting the flash at a high enough power level to properly light the scene without washing everything out. The more I learn about photography the more I realize I know very little and the more impressed I am by those that are able to consistently get good pictures.
All was not lost. I had an ace up my sleeve. We had some good friends of ours coming over on Saturday for dinner. They have a little girl that's a month older than The Boy. I grew up with the husband. We went to elementary school, middle school, and high school together. We were also in Boy Scouts together. While we were never really close growing up we got along well. We reconnected when we were in the same birthing class with our very pregnant wives. We found out that they have a lot of the same interests (food!) and live in the same neighborhood as we do.
It had been a very long time since we had gotten everyone together so we were all looking forward to getting together. I had gotten very cute pictures of the kids together in the past so I knew that I would have a good chance of getting some great shots. As I rolled out the dough, the adults talked and the kids fought and cried and got along as toddlers prone to do. Because I was covered in dough and flour I wasn't able to get any pictures until after dinner.
We were trying to figure out how the kids could get along after their latest tousle over some of The Boy's toys when the idea of "Chase" came up. The Boy calls it "Run." As all toddler games go the rules are simple. One kid runs and the other chases the first kid until the first kid is caught. Wash, rinse, repeat with sometimes changing up who is doing the chasing. This was magical. No more crying or fighting. They got along fantastically, and I got some REALLY cute pictures.
So for this week I submitted the picture above. You can see my submission here. It's a picture I really love. The kids are unaware of, or ignoring, me and sharing a moment while they are framed by the hallway. Capturing moments like this is why I really love photography.
Of course we had to get a picture of them together. For reference the first one is when they were 3 months (The boy) and 4 months (the girl) old.
Here they are today at 3 1/2 years old.
The night was a lot of fun. Good friends, food, and a few good photos of the kids.

From March through May and from October through December, we plant at every scale, from a single backyard specimen, to a whole garden of woody plants, to a street allee of half a dozen trees, to plantings of hundreds of trees meant to reduce Urban Heat Island Effect. Urban Arborists has been instrumental in the effort to replace trees lost to the Asian Longhorn Beetle.
Root Care
Sometimes roots are unable to serve trees for different reasons. They may be growing in a circular pattern around a tree's stem and cutting off tree circulation, or they may have been buried and unable to function for lack of oxygen. Sometimes fine roots can become so dense in a planter that we need to create narrow holes for air and water to circulate. Our team knows what to look for when they perform root crown investigations, and they know how to mitigate these sorts of problems so that roots can grow better and take up more nutrients and water from the soils.
Soil Remediation
Construction can damage soils by compacting them and impeding the circulation of water and gases within a tree's root zone. It can also alter the chemical makeup of soils. While soil replacement is sometimes necessary, Urban Arborists can decompact with a pneumatic air tool and amend soils, supporting the life of existing trees. The organic amendments we provide boost the populations and activity of decomposers and beneficial microbes, promote root-fungi symbiosis that enhances uptake of water and nutrients, and stimulate new root production to induce systemic resistance to pests and pathogens. We are expert at soil assessment and remediation. We may adjust anything from soil biologicals, to pH, to texture, to organic matter, depending upon the needs of the plants.
Although we refer clients who need whole gardens planned to several designers whom we admire and trust, Urban Arborists loves to do our own woody plant design. Bill Logan's experience writing about gardens—together with his two decades of experience caring for gardens and trees—has given him skill in fitting beautiful combinations of trees and shrubs into existing settings, whether woodland gardens, city spaces, or suburban landscapes.
There are many reasons to prune: to make a tree safer, to repair damage, to get branches out of the way, to improve a tree's structure or health, to improve a shrub's flowering or its shape, to please the neighbors. But in every single case, pruning is an art. We make the tree or the shrub more fitting for its place and purpose. We make it a part of the genius of its place. Before we touch any plant, we discuss the purpose with our clients. We prune the minimum necessary to achieve that goal. We follow the physician creed, First Do No Harm.
We have a particular interest in formal pruning. Ornamental pollarding, coppicing, and aerial hedging are all areas where we have particular expertise.
Tree emergencies
In the aftermaths of both Irene and Superstorm Sandy, Urban Arborists was able to mobilize immediately to help alleviate and clean up in suddenly precarious environments at residences, open spaces and institutions. In the case of Sandy, we rescued our trucks ahead of the storm surge that incapacitated Red Hook (where our office and yard are located) and operated out of a temporary space. In some cases, enormous trees were made unstable or had fallen on people's homes, and we gained valuable additional experience working with a trusted crane operator in cases where our equipment could not do the job alone. Though we never wish to see such a storm strike our area again, we are ready to serve our clients when they need us.
Urban Arborists will never place cover sprays to attack unspecified pests on a large number of trees and shrubs. We target specific treatments for specific pests on specific plants, only taking action after diagnosis is made. We only treat when we observe that the antagonist is present in sufficient numbers to cause harm, and we treat only when that pest is vulnerable. In some cases, we will suggest doing nothing at all. Where treatments are necessary, we look for the least toxic alternative. There are oils, soaps and more serious pesticides, but sometimes a good jet of plain water will do the job. For Dutch elm disease and the insects that spread it, on the other hand, only a relatively toxic systemic will do. We follow biorational guidelines for all our work, and we offer strictly organic options upon request.
Cables and braces in trees can help to prevent failures of weak or very large branches or leaders in wind and storm. Urban Arborists knows which cable to use in which conditions and on which trees. We also know when cabling is not a good idea at all.
Once, all cables were made of 7-strand, galvanized steel and fixed to the tree with J-shaped screws or with through-bolts. Now, there are other kinds of steel cable, as well as several kinds of synthetic cable that may not require drilling into stems. We are also skilled at placing brace and cable combinations to repair weak crotches that have begun to crack. By this means, we can often save trees that would otherwise be lost. We are skilled at making props - often out of wood from the same tree or species - to preserve long, low branches that cannot be effectively pruned to prevent breakage.
Tree Removal
Although we are not fond of removing trees unless it is truly necessary, we are unusually good at difficult removals in tight spaces. As an urban company, we are all too familiar with large dying or dead ailanthus trees, locusts or silver maples located in tiny backyards surrounded with windows, with fine gardens, with prize plants, and with fishponds. We pride ourselves on our ability to extricate such very large and dangerous trees while doing no damage to the fine surroundings.
When a valuable, reasonably young tree can no longer remain where it is growing, we can carefully lift it out of its home and place in a new home. Our track record of successful transplants grows every year, and our crew is skilled at working efficiently while taking care to preserve as much as possible of trees' root systems and preventing crown damage during transit. We regularly transplant trees up to 8-10" DBH, though before any transplant, we will inspect and report on the prospects for success, given not only the size of the tree but the character of the site from which it comes and the new site to which it is going.
Our trees look great!
"Spring clean-ups are much easier now. Urban Arborists removes weak branches before the storms do And our trees look great!"

I decided that I would 'start' the 365 Challenge - a block a day for the year! This seems like a big commitment for me, so I have chosen to make a scrappy sampler - I hope to make enough for a bed quilt, but really, it might end up being a table runner! I'll see how the year goes. The first 7 blocks are just 3", but there will be 6" blocks too.
This is the fabric I am using for the Challenge (if you click on the 3 little lines in the top left hand corner of the challenge website you can sign up to have the block instructions emailed every day - so simple).
This is a skein of yarn that I spun during a New Year's eve spin along - angora, merino, alpaca, silk and sparkling angelina.
Made from fibre that I dyed and blended.
My year seems to starting off very bright!
I wish you all the best for the new year, and thanks for stopping by!♥

Nicola Fornoni
Diventa cio' che sei (A mia madre) @ Venice International Performance Art Week 2016
Nicola Fornoni (born 1990 in Brescia) is an emerging Italian artist, focusing on performance works presented live and for video. His work circulates around the themes of otherness and the committed and sincere search for connectivity, respect and union. Marked by Scleroderma, which Nicola is being affected by since 2001, many of his works are of a clear and intended visual and symbolic impact, to which the audience cannot subtract.
At the VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK, Fornoni presents Diventa cio' che sei (A mia madre) | Become What You Are (To My Mother), performance originally conceived for video and presented for the first time live as a durational performance. It sees Fornoni spinning his life and at the same time the string from which he was created, as an ongoing conflict of an intimate reality. (Text courtesy of Venice Performance Art Week 2016)
His work and agenda can be see here: http://nicolafornoni.wixsite.com/nicolafornoni

Our guests are gone and we are alone again with all these beautiful rocks. It was a great time, to hang and go for great bouldering with our friends. Everybody was psyched and we could climb some fine lines as you can see on the photos.

Boulderers heaven
Past one week in Fontainebleau, we feel back in business. But the first problems were hard as hell!
The weather is quit perfect for this time of year but definitely to hot for the hard sloper stuff. Nevertheless we could climb some awesome passages which required all our skills and cleverness.
Enjoy a collection of pics from the last days:

Ticino squared
For sure you know I had a lot of bouldering recently. But although I like every unique boulder place, everyone of us has some localities were he can't get enough from. For me, it is the feelings while I drove down the pass into the Ticino valley. At this moment, I remember what it feels to stood in between all these boulders, look to the snowy mountains and breath the fresh air. I like this place :).
So see how the things went perfect for a lot of fine bouldering under a cloudless blue sky!

North Mississippi Allstars: ГўҖңWorld Boogie Is Coming.ГўҖқ
Rate this Album
UK release date 21.10.2013
ГўҖңIt all started when Seasick Steve told me; you are the one, you are the link, you have to keep it primitive and take it to the people.ГўҖқ So says Luther Dickinson of his band The North Mississippi Allstars.
Their new album ГўҖңWorld Boogie Is Coming,ГўҖқ is a stripped back, raw blues, Americana and roots extravaganza, with at least one surprise. Ask me who plays harmonica on the tracks ГўҖңJRГўҖқ and ГўҖңGoat Meat.ГўҖқ Only Percy, thatГўҖҷs who. ThatГўҖҷs Robert Plant to you. He plays a mean gob iron too.
Their seventh studio album since forming in 1996, produced by the band themselves, the Dickinson brothers Luther and Cody had a little help from their friends in Duwayne and Garry Burnside, Kenny Brown, Alvin Youngblood, Sharde Thomas (Otha TurnerГўҖҷs granddaughter), Chris Chew, Steve Selvidge, LightninГўҖҷ Malcom, Robert Plant and others.
ГўҖңWorld Boogie Is ComingГўҖқ is a rallying cry and that cry is; itГўҖҷs time to boogie. Think John Lee Hooker and Seasick Steve backed by ZZ Top on acid, and produced by T Bone Burnett - a soundtrack to hours of footage of road trips and incendiary live shows. It is a real treasure and one of the best albums of this year by far, in any genre.
Two years work here, and it sounds like one of those recordings where the right people are in the right place at the right time with the right material and everything is right. Right? Chemistry by the bucket load. They set out to make a ГўҖңdefinitive and decisive recordГўҖқ and by golly they achieved that and some. ГўҖңOur magnus opus.ГўҖқ
Four tracks in is the musical equivalent of measles; so damned infectious. ГўҖңBoogie.ГўҖқ They find that groove and nail it, with a distorted vocal on top driving it along in a frenzy. Press replay.
Cody Dickinson produced British blues guitarist Ian SiegalГўҖҷs last 2 albums, The Skinny (2011) and Candystore Kid (2012), both of which were nominated for ГўҖҳBest Contemporary Blues AlbumГўҖҷ at the annual Blues Music Awards in the USA (ex WC HandyГўҖҷs.) Luther and Cody have recently toured extensively with Robert Plant & The Band of Joy, and toured internationally with Ian Siegal as part of The Mississippi Mudbloods.
With an obsession by most blues bands to be as heavy and loud as they can possibly be, using a reference point and influences that date back no further than the 1970s, this record is like a fresh Southern breeze on a parched face in the desert. You can hear all those glorious influences ГўҖ" including the brothersГўҖҷ late father, legendary Memphis musician Jim Dickinson.
These talented cats are keeping it very real. They ainГўҖҷt trying to be trendy or go for gold and the next chart hit. TheyГўҖҷre just doing what they do and if we dig it, we dig it, if we donГўҖҷt, theyГўҖҷll probably carry on doing it anyhow. Their debut in 2000 and subsequent albums in 2001 and 2005, each won them a Grammy nod. Maybe this is the one that bags them that trophy.
** "World Boogie Is Coming" is released on Songs Of The South Records/Thirty Tigers. **
Words SIMON REDLEY

Jeanne Brink
Barre, VT
Jeanne is a descendant of the Obomsawin family of Thompson's Point, Vermont, and Odanak Reserve in Quebec, Canada, well-known Abenaki basketmakers who practiced their craft in the region until 1959. She is continuing the Obomsawin tradition of fine craftsmanship in traditional Abenaki ash splint and sweetgrass basketry. Jeanne also draws upon her Abenaki family history as a Native American presenter and consultant to schools, colleges, libraries, and organizations throughout New England and New York. She holds an M.A. in Native American Studies from Vermont College of Norwich University.
Her family story of an English raid on the St. Francis Abenaki community formed the basis of the Vermont Folklife Center Children's Book, Malian's Song.
Jeanne Brink always felt close to her grandmother, but she was awestruck when she learned that her grandmother had been keeper of a narrative passed down through several generations of her family. Ethnologist Gordon Day recorded a number of Elvine's recollections in Abenaki and one of these was the story that described an 18th century raid by the English on the St. Francis Abenaki settlement in Quebec--an event memorialized in Vermont history textbooks as "Rogers' Raid".
The book, Malian's Song, is based on an eyewitness Abenaki account of Robert Rogers' 1759 raid on the Abenaki village of St. Francis. For many years the only information about the raid included in history textbooks was based on Robert Rogers'official report. In 1959 ethnologist Gordon Day recorded Elvine Obomsawin Royce telling a very different story of the raid that had been passed down in her family for generations. Here Jeanne Brink, granddaughter of Elvine, reads an English translation of her grandmother's story.
After Robert Rogers and his men destroyed the St. Francis village, Jeanne Brink's ancestor, Malian Obomsawin, composed a lament still referred to as the "Lonesome Song." Here Jeanne reads Gordon Day's English translation of the "Lonesome Song"
The original 1959 recording, in Abenaki, of Elvine Obomsawin Royce telling the story of Rogers' Raid.
Jeanne describes her reaction to seeing the depiction of Rogers' Raid in the film, Northwest Passage.
Jeanne talks about a characteristic element of Abenaki culture.

wyndham street wine walk
time out hong kong published its first issue last week in hong kong and i am told it sold out in just a few hours on their first day. that is great news, for me anyway, because i have used their publication in buenos aires, paris, london, and tokyo and i have never been disappointed by their recommendations. you can be sure i will peruse the magazine extensively here in hk!
and so, to launch their presence with full fanfare, i received information from the good people of zest and frog face fish on wyndham st that they are starting an annual "wine walk" to be held on june 7th from 3 to 6 pm.
the concept is loosely based on hk's famous artwalk. for hkd 280, wine lovers will get a glass and a passport and will be able to walk (or crawl) from one restaurant to another along wyndham street and enjoy as much wine you can drink & snacks you can eat on offer by those participating.
a fantastic way to sample wines from around the world, sample the food of those great restaurants and meet the owners, chefs, staff, and generally flirt with other wine walkers.
maxxium will supply the wine and they have a whole bunch of other sponsors for this event so that all profits will go to a great charity called "room to read" which builds librairies and school around the developing world and help children get a better education.
check out their website for more details: http://www.timeout.com.hk/winewalk/ . be sure to check early because their will be space for about 800 wine walkers. you will also be able to get your registration form at the various restaurants along wyndham st in early may.
see you on the crawl!

Welcome To The Goldfield Historical Society
The Goldfield Historical Society is dedicated
to the preservation and promotion of the
history and heritage of Goldfield,
Nevada for present and future generations.
(Photo at right) An early stage coach coming into Goldfield from Tonopah. The Malpais and nearby mountains can be seen in the top left of the photo.
Goldfield, Nevada was born in a hurry.
Due to the discovery of Gold in 1902, and grew from two miners to over 20,000 people in just six years. Goldfield lost a significant portion of its population by 1910, not because the gold was gone, but because the cost of mining was too great. As the years have gone by, the fabric of Goldfield's history continues to be wrent and torn a little more each year.
The Goldfield Historical Society is making a concerted effort to try and stop the devastation of time and make our town a "Place to Remember". We hope you enjoy this Web Site. It is our hope that it will show you, through pictures and articles, the excitement that was and is Goldfield, Nevada.
Check out our
