O'GUIN Family - For three generations at least the O'Guin family has been identified with the fortunes and affairs of Hickman County, Tennessee. Thomas O'Guin, the grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was born in the county, there grew to manhood, married, and became a prominent farmer. When the Civil War broke out he cast his lot with the Southern Confederacy and entered the army as a private solider. Exposure and hardship incident to military life so impaired his health that he died of tuberculosis soon after being discharged from the service, leaving two sons, the younger of which, Sidney L. O'Guin, was born near Whitfield, Hickman County, in April 1863. In 1884, S. L. O'Guin and Sarah Coble were united in marriage in Lewis County, Tennessee, though she is a native of Hickman County, where she was born in 1856. Three children have been born of this union—Walker W., Alden and Marvin—the first named in Lewis County and the other two in Hickman County. In early life S. L. O'Guin followed the vocation of a farmer, but later engaged in mercantile pursuits. He is now the proprietor of a shoe and gents' furnishing store at Centerville. Politically he is a Democrat, and both he and his wife are members of the Christian Church.
Walker W. O'Guin, the eldest of the three children born to his parents, was born in Lewis County, Tennessee, February 1, 1886, but removed with his parents to Hickman County in his early childhood. He was educated in the Hickman County schools and at the Murray Institute, Murray, Kentucky, and until 1909, was engaged in teaching in the public schools of Lewis and Hickman Counties. In 1909 he entered the field of journalism as owner and editor of the Hohenwald Herald. On August 18, 1912, the office and equipment of the paper were destroyed by fire, and soon after that Mr. O'Guin removed to Centerville, where he became the editor of the Hickman County Citizen. This paper has the largest circulation of any newspaper in the county. In national politics it is a supporter of Democratic principles, but in state and local affairs it is independent. Although Mr. O'Guin has been in charge of its editorial columns but a comparatively short time, he has demonstrated his grasp of public questions and his ability as a writer. His long residence in Hickman County and his familiarity with conditions peculiarly qualify him for the position he occupies. He knows the needs of the county and is always ready to further any measure for the social and material uplift of her citizens.
In his political affiliations Mr. O'Guin is an unswerving Democrat. His fraternal relations are with Hohenwald Camp No. 215, Woodmen of the World; Sam Davis Lodge No. 158, K. of P., located at Centerville; and Centerville Camp M. W. A. In all these orders he is popular because of his genial disposition and good fellowship.
In 1907 Mr. O'Guin married Miss Ruby Poore, daughter of J. W. Poore, a well-known resident of Hickman County. Two children have come to bless this union—Harriet Jane and Sydney Lamar. Mr. and Mrs. O'Guin are members of the Christian Church and take a commendable interest in promoting its good works. Source: Hale, Will T, and Dixon L. Merritt.

Ashland City — PICKARD, Peter b., banker; born Hickman Co., Tenn., Oct. 1, 1845; French descent; son of Green and Mary (Chamness) PICKARD; educated Marion, Ala., in early life worked on a farm; entered the Confederate army and served throughout the four years of the Civil war; later entered politics and served as Comptroller of the State of Tenn., 1883-9 (three terms); Supervisor of Census 1900 for Sixth Congressional district of Tenn.; has been in banking business for 25 years, and is now cashier of Ashland City, Tenn.; married Julia BRITT Jan. 27, 1867; Democrat; member Knights of Honor and U.C.V., with rank of Colonel on staff of Gen. John H. MCDOWELL; member M.E. Church, South.
In political and mercantile circles, probably no man in Lewis County is more widely known than Joseph Goodwin Rice, the present genial and efficient county clerk. His grandfather, Jerry Rice, was a pioneer farmer of southern Illinois, where his children were born, but before they grew to maturity he removed to Dunklin County, Missouri. Here he passed the closing years of his life engaged in agricultural pursuits. James B. Rice, the father of the subject of this sketch, was born in Illinois in 1834, but went with his parents in childhood to Missouri, where he was educated in the common schools and became a minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. He was also engaged in farming and merchandising at Kennett, Dunklin County, Missouri. About the time he arrived at man's estate, Samuel and Leona Wilburn removed from Tennessee to Dunklin County and settled at Kennett. Their daughter, Sarah, who was born in Perry County, Tennessee, in 1834, became the wife of Rev. J. B. Rice, and of the seven children born to them the subject of this review is the only one now living. J. B Rice died in 1869 and his widow subsequently married R. R. Johnson. With him and her children she removed to Tennessee, settling in Perry County, whither her mother had gone some years before, after the death of Samuel Wilburn.
Joseph Goodwin Rice was born at Kennett, Dunklin County, Missouri, September 24, 1862. He attended the public schools of his native county until the family removed to Tennessee, after which he finished his education in the public schools of that county and at Beach Grove Academy. His mother died in 1881, and about that time he began his business career as a clerk in a store at Pleasantville. Later he was similarly employed at Etna. In 1889 he was united in marriage with Miss Laura McClearen, daughter of A. C. McClearen, a prominent farmer of Pleasantville, Tennessee. After his marriage Mr. Rice removed to Hickman County, where for the next six years he followed farming, after which he was engaged in the mercantile business at Kimmins, Lewis County, for about ten years. He still retains an interest in this business, of which his son, Carl Rice, is manager. The establishment has been organized as a stock company, known as the Kimmins Mercantile Company, and has a large patronage among the people of the town and the farmers of the surrounding country. Ever since he became a voter Mr. Rice has been a consistent supporter of the Democratic Party and its principles. His activity in behalf of his party led to his nomination and election to the office of county clerk in 1908, and under his administration the affairs of the office were conducted with such skill and ability that he was honored with a reelection in 1910. This endorsement by his fellow-citizens speaks volumes for his efficiency and integrity, and is one of which any man might feel justly proud. Mr. Rice is a member and one of the board of stewards of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. His fraternal relations are expressed by membership in George DeSmith Lodge, No 182, Knights of Pythias, of Hohenwald, and in both church and lodge he is an active and useful worker. Mr. and Mrs. Rice are the parents of eight children—Carl, Herman, Bernard, Irene, Aubrey, Fred, Edward and Willadene. As previously stated, Carl is manager of the Kimmins Mercantile Company. The other children are at home with the parents, with the exception of Edward, who died in 1905 at the age of fifteen months. As a matter of family history it is worthy of note that Mr. Rice's father was a lifelong Democrat and member of the Masonic Fraternity, and also that he served in the Confederate Army under Gen. Sterling Price. He was captured and held a prisoner for some time, being finally exchanged at Vicksburg.Source: Hale, Will T, and Dixon L. Merritt.

The profession of law and the realm of politics are substantially represented in Dickson by Hon. Henry Clay Richardson, who is a native of this county and whose progenitors have for three preceding generations been associated with this part of Tennessee. They have constituted a family line notable for military vigor and other strong characteristics.
Austin Richardson (the great-grandfather of our subject) joined the Revolutionary Army when a mere boy, following his father and five uncles to the exciting scenes of that conflict. They had gone thither from their at Culpepper Courthouse, Virginia, but only Austin Richardson returned, for the others had fallen in battle or died from other ills of war, and only this youth and one brother were left to represent the family. In spite of the fact that he had taken part in the Great War and had served under Washington, he was then but an orphan boy and was "bound out" until he reached the years of his majority. When he became his own master, he left Virginia and came to Tennessee in 1793, first settling at Greenville. Here he married a Miss Johnson and three years later they removed to the part of the state which is now Dickson County, selecting as their home one of the highest points in the county and one near a large spring. His was a large family, one of his sons being Louis Richardson, born in 1807 in Dickson County. He became a prominent farmer and married Miss Vina Walker of Hickman County. Their son, W. Turner Richardson (the father of H. C. Richardson) was born in Hickman County, in 1843, and early displayed a thirst for adventure and action. At the age of seventeen years he ran away from home and joined the Confederate Army, serving in Company K, of the Eleventh Tennessee Infantry. He served under Johnson and Hood in all engagements; was captured at Missionary Ridge; was held prisoner at Rock Island prison in Illinois; was exchanged at Greensborough, North Carolina; and after the close of the war returned to the occupation of peace. He was a farmer and a dealer in lumber and lime, conducting a large kiln and managing a large business in that line. In 1866 he married Miss Emily Catherine Alspaugh, who was a native of North Carolina, born in 1841; her mother was the youngest daughter of Colonel Josiah Clifton, a large land owner and colonel in the Revolutionary War. He was at Yorktown with Washington when Cornwallis surrendered. To Emily C. Alspaugh Richardson and W. T. Richardson were born twelve children, eight of whom lived to the years of maturity. The eldest of these was H. C. Richardson, who was born in the town of Burns, in Dickson County, Tennessee, on the twenty-first day of March, 1867.
Henry Clay Richardson early evinced an intellectual keenness suggestive of that of his distinguished namesake. He was educated in Edgewood College, and then fared forth upon the professional pathway of teaching. Like many other young men of ability, he found it possible to give due attention to his pedagogical labors and in his hours of leisure to broaden his own mind by carrying on independent study. The line which Mr. Richardson chose for further mental development and advancement in life was that of law. Meanwhile, however, he became an authority on county educational matters and his personal standing was such that for two years his services were required as superintendent of public instruction for Dickson County. In 1891 Mr. Richardson wrote his bar examinations and was admitted to practice in Tennessee. The quality of his professional activity may be readily guessed from the fact that recognition of his ability was indicated by his district in sending him to the state legislature in 1894. Hon. Richardson served for four years as a representative and then turned to his home and practiced in Dickson. He is a staunch Democrat and has been very active in the affairs of his party. Numerous fraternal organizations count Mr. Richardson a valued member. He is a member of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons; of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows; of the Knights of Pythias; and of the Improved Order of Red Men. Mr. Richardson is socially popular as well as professionally successful. Source: Hale, Will T, and Dixon L. Merritt.

WHITWELL, James Franklin - One of the representative professional men and highly esteemed citizens of Lewis County, Tennessee, is Dr. James Franklin Whitwell, who has been a medical practitioner in that county for thirty years and has also become well known there through considerable county official service. The family to which Dr. Whitwell belongs is one of the old connections of Tennessee, as it was established here considerably more than a century ago, and he is of the third generation native to the soil of this state. Different of its members have held prominent places in the public life of this section and the father of Dr. Whitwell gave up his life at the battle of Franklin as a loyal defender of his state and the Confederacy during the Civil War. The family originated in America with Robert Whitwell, the great-grandfather of Dr. Whitwell, who emigrated from England and located in Tennessee, settling in Hickman County, where he reared a large family. Rev. Pleasant Whitwell, one of his sons, was born in Hickman County in 1803, but after he reached man's estate he removed to Perry County, this state, where afterward remained his home and where in an industrial way he followed farming. Entering the ministry of the Primitive Baptist Church, he attained considerable note in this connection and in his day was one of the strongest believers and exhorters of that faith in this country. He was a Democrat in political belief and served as clerk of the Perry County court eight years. A son of his, Thomas Whitwell, was judge of Perry County sixteen years. Rev. Pleasant Whitwell married Margaret Anderson, who bore him five children, one of whom was Elijah H. Whitwell, the father of Dr. Whitwell. Elijah H. Whitwell was born in Perry County, Tennessee, in 1832 and grew to manhood there, receiving a public school education. He followed farming until the opening of the Civil War, when he enlisted in Holmes' Company, formed at Linden, Perry County, and assigned to the Forty-eighth Tennessee regiment, with which he served until he gave up his life on the bloody battlefield of Franklin on November 30, 1864. In 1851 he was married to Angeline Randall, who was born in Perry County January 10, 1834, and died April 13, 1913. To this union were born five children, of whom Dr. Whitwell was second in birth and is the eldest of four that reached maturity and are yet living. The mother was married later to Joseph Dabbs, a farmer of Perry County. James Franklin Whitwell was born near Linden, Perry County, Tennessee, May 9, 1854, and was but a lad of eight years when the father's sacrifice to the cause of the Southland deprived him of the provident care of that parent. He grew up in the vicinity of his birth and attended the public schools of the locality, later becoming a teacher. After being engaged in that manner in Perry and Lewis counties for some years he began to prepare for the profession he had determined should be his permanent line of endeavor and to that purpose began the study of medicine under Dr. T. S. Evans in the medical department of Vanderbilt University, Nashville, concluding his training in the medical department of the University of Tennessee. Beginning the active practice of medicine at Riverside, Tennessee, in 1882, he continued there until 1896, when he came to his present location at Hohenwald, where he is now well established in practice. Politically he is a staunch Democrat and served as registrar of Lewis County twelve years, or from 1898 to 1910; was secretary of the executive committee of the county for several years and has also served as its health officer for a number of years. He is much interested in truck gardening and horticulture and keeps in touch with and applies the most advanced ideas in regard to each of these lines of cultivation. In 1873 Dr. Whitwell was united in marriage to Miss Sophia Grinder, daughter of John Grinder, a former citizen of Lewis County, Tennessee. To Dr. and Mrs. Whitwell were born two daughters: Nora, who became the wife of C. M. Paxton and died in 1909, at the age of thirty-three, and Cora, whose husband is Andrew Raspbury, an interested principal in the mercantile firm of Rasbury & Warren at Hohenwald. Dr. and Mrs. Whitwell are both members of the Christian Church and the former is an elder of that denomination. Source: Hale, Will T, and Dixon L. Merritt.

April Client of the Month – Ashtead Performance Group
This entry was posted on Friday, April 27th, 2012 at 7:32 PM
April's client of the month is Simon Aldridge, MD of Ashtead Performance Group (APG).
I've worked with Simon for the last five years, ever since he asked me to write the words for APG's website.
APG works with senior teams to equip them to achieve excellent performance across their business. And therein lay the challenge.
What I did
Simon is a very genuine, down to earth, straight-taking guy. He wanted to get APG's message across to its potential clients in a way that reflected his personality. And he most definitely wanted to avoid the impersonal, jargon-laden language often associated, fairly or unfairly, with business consultants.
First person plural was a must, as was the use of contractions. Sadly, I come across too many people who claim not to like contractions in writing, yet without them writing sounds stilted and robotic. Thankfully, Simon doesn't fall into that bracket!
As well as the website, he wanted to send out a regular e-newsletter to keep APG front of mind, and of course to attract new clients.
Ongoing work
Simon writes an article each month on a something that resonates with him or is maybe a reaction to something topical. It's called Three Minutes On… the idea being you should be able to read it in – yes you've guessed it – three minutes.
He's also interviewed some pretty inspiring leaders such as Justin King, CEO of Sainsbury's; Richard Baker, former CEO of Boots; and Welsh Rugby Union legend, Gareth Edwards.
Five years on and the website has evolved into a good resource of articles, interviews, and newsletters with great tips on leadership, authenticity, and building strong teams.
It's my job to edit the articles and interviews, which is great for me. Not only do I love the work – I've also learned a heck of a lot!
What the client said
"I have found Elaine to be a great partner over the past few years. With any relationship it's about trust and Elaine builds trust quickly through the quality of service that she provides and her all round manner. What stands out with Elaine is what happens after the trust has been built. You feel that she is really on your side as a true partner. Thinking of solutions even when she hasn't been tasked to do so and being really authentic in terms of caring about your business and the way you come across to clients.
I have found that her style of writing has enhanced my tone of voice and it is often the little things, such as taking out certain words or twisting a phrase, which makes the good words into something much more engaging. And talking of engaging, Elaine is a most engaging person who has the most delightful way of talking to you, even if it's to tell you about an upcoming deadline that needs hitting!
As a consultant working on other people's business, it is nice to have someone really working for you on your team. So the value add is not simply the product that gets delivered but also the sense of support and making you feel so much more of a business in your own right."

Almost two-thirds of MPs believe the all-seater legislation governing the top two flights of English football should be reformed, according to data from YouGov.
The polling company recently asked 100 MPs whether they wanted to see a change in the law to allow licensed standing areas at the top of English football. 62 of those asked backed the choice to stand, 22 were against and 15 were undecided.
YouGov also polled 2,000 adults on the same question and nearly half backed reform, with a third undecided. Only one in six were against changing the law.
Support was significantly higher amongst those interested in football and more familiar with the issue. Seven out of ten adults surveyed, who said they had an interest in football, were in favour of reform.
This rose further amongst those described by YouGov as having a "strong interest in the game", with the number increasing to almost eight out of ten.
Back in June 2018, the Sports Minister announced that the Government would begin a review of the all-seater legislation following a debate in Parliament – that review has since been completed and is awaiting publication.

I would like to create a multi-site network and use your pro-sites plugin. But I am hoping to design finished sites with content etc and sell it to multiple people in the same field; i.e. plumbers or dentists. I was wondering if I could somehow combine the power of your cloning plugin with the automation of pro-sites so they can choose the desired plumber design or whatever and have the whole site cloned including all content. Is that possible?

A Suitable Boy: A Novel (Perennial Classics) (Paperback)
Vikram Seth's novel is, at its core, a love story: Lata and her mother, Mrs. Rupa Mehra, are both trying to find -- through love or through exacting maternal appraisal -- a suitable boy for Lata to marry. Set in the early 1950s, in an India newly independent and struggling through a time of crisis, A Suitable Boy takes us into the richly imagined world of four large extended families and spins a compulsively readable tale of their lives and loves. A sweeping panoramic portrait of a complex, multiethnic society in flux, A Suitable Boy remains the story of ordinary people caught up in a web of love and ambition, humor and sadness, prejudice and reconciliation, the most delicate social etiquette and the most appalling violence.
About the Author
Vikram Seth has written acclaimed books in several genres: verse novel, The Golden Gate; travel book, From Heaven Lake; animal fables, Beastly Tales; epic fiction, A Suitable Boy. His most recent novel, An Equal Music, was published in 1999. He lives in England and India.

Let's take an in-depth look at the latest iteration of Stephen King's IT.
If you went to the movies on a date night, with a group of friends, or just on a lone wolf mission for good entertainment, Stephen Kings latest remake installment of the 1990 movie and adaptation ofhis Novel, "IT" will satisfy anyone looking for a good time. The film has so many elements from suspense, mystery, to sheer laugh out loud spot on comedy. I mean the cast of kids in the 2017 film had to be some of the smartest well trained actors of their age because they didn't miss a beat! Truly hilariously funny. Before reading any further for those who haven't seen the movie yet, this is the time
to stop reading unless you're like me and don't care either way. With that being said, —SPOILER ALERT —, for all those pre-movie review readers. So enough disclaimers and on to the good stuff.
Some people have not seen the first 1990 version starring Tim Curry and a young Seth Green.Well if you are reading this and you're one of them, don't beat yourself up. The 1990's version doesn't give us the gory action , and CGI shots depicting the unthinkable violence done to kids that occurs in the first film as we get plenty in the newest version within the first opening scene. Both stories catalog series of tragic events that happen in a small town of Derry, Maine. If you're a Stephen King fan then you know a lot of his stories take place in those neck of the woods due to it being near his native home which provides much of the setting inspiration for his literary work. Any who, the 2017 Film opens on two young boys both brothers who are playing with a paper sailboat. The older brother gives the younger brother the boat as a way to pacify a pestering younger sibling who hasn't yet grasped the annoying factor of brotherhood as of yet. The younger brother places the boat on the side of the road in a stream of water due to it being a faintly light rainy afternoon, that rushes the sailboat off to the races. The boat picks up speed sending it hurling toward a sewer drain in front of an older woman's home. She's inside oblivious to the little boy chasing the boat in the heavy rainstorm, but in 1960 as is the time when the story is set, the sight of a young kid playing by themselves didn't pose immediate danger as it would in 2017. The boat falls into the drain right before the he can snatch it back in to his arms for safe keeping and future sailboat races to come the boat falls into the sewer drain as the little boy gets down on hands and knees looking to retrieve his brother's paper boat. As the boy is about to give up and go face his older brother in shame and fear of loosing the gift that was loaned to him with the promise of taking care of the ultimately meaningless remarkable item, something an 8 year old may not grasp at the time. IT, a creepy clowned-faced being pops his head up and calls the boy by name bringing his attention back to the opening of the sewer drain as head heads home. At this point, any self respecting movie goer is yelling at the screen, "No don't talk to it, don't get so close kid, run"! Although, just like at home the characters in the movie never listen and thus the young boy inches close to IT and starts a conversation. IT speaks to the boy as if he knows him and starts to try and gain the boys trust. Although young Georgie (the young boy), lets IT know he is not suppose to talk to strangers as we know at home with good reason. That doesn't stop IT, just as any predator who has their eyes set on the weak and naive prey. IT reveals the paper sail boat which draws the young boy near. After a few creepy exchanges from IT to little Georgie, IT convinces the boy to reach into the sewer to reclaim his brother's paper speed sail boat.
At this time, IT reveals its many rows of wired creature razor sharp teeth and takes a T-Rex style bite of poor unsuspecting Georgie's little twig like arm, snapping it clean off from his body. The child screams and tries to turn and run for help but, IT drags him into the deep dark creepy sewer as the rain slowly washes the puddle of blood away just as the older woman who's home this takes place in front of, sees the blood alarming her to react. This sets the tone of the newest film that the 1990's version just didn't do. Seeing how in 1990 we didn't have celebrity sex tapes, cartel beheading videos, and the twerk team supreme ass shaking all over the internet in those days doesn't surprise me of the lack of realness captured in the first movie as much as the second. Although, I'm pretty sure the idea alone in that day and time was more than enough to get the point across. Besides the 90's was at its time going in what I call the end to a "feel good" era, so blood and gore were at an all time low in majority of the films in addition to the technology not being sufficient enough to pull it off.
From the opening scene the town basically treats the poor little sewer boat boy as a missing person's case. The family has all but moved on with the exception of the older brother who gave little Georgie the paper sail boat. The movie then goes on to introduce all of the lead characters who at the time are all preteens entering the horrible unknown life scaring world of High school. The group of kids trickles to its full capacity as the film goes on essentially taking on a different route as the first installment. The 1990 version starts off with all of the characters who had an encounter with IT at one time as adults. This however is the part of disappointment for me as a viewer. The new film is seeming
to take its time developing the story instead of just giving us the damn thing. I don't know if it's because of the attention span of Americans, the level of intelligence, or the sheer greed of big business monopolist. It could be a combination of all three but I digress, my point is knowing that with the reception of the 2017 version of IT which grossed over 200 million domestic and 200 million foreign totaling a half a billion dollars with the change, has allowed for a second installment not a sequel but second half of the film has been green lit and should currently be in pre-production as I type this review. This gives me hope as I have read that the second half will include the kids coming back to their home town now adults all coming together as a creed and blood pact to see IT die no matter what. Although, as an aspiring money mongering film guru mega superstar mogul myself ( shameless self plug), I will not excuse the horrible story holes carelessly left in the film instead of the cutting floor in the editing bay that was callously carried out by the director and IT 2017 production team. Follow me here…in the 2017 version which I'm sure S.K. didn't approve of, the kids all confronted IT for the first time after realizing that for some reason adults couldn't see IT, so they would have to be the ones to stop IT from snatching up kids off the street like poor Georgie. The only girl in the group stabs IT
through the face with an iron like spear. The thing jars around and slinks down to a well in the basement of the house the kids enter to confront IT in. Which by the way, the info that ties all of the previous together came way of one of the newest members of the group who so conveniently has spent a great deal of time obsessing over the towns mysterious disappearances over thirty or so years at the age of 11.
I mean his obsession was on a level of that which was featured in the all time famous Ace Ventura Pet detective. You know the part when Ace went to Ray Finkle's home and Finkle's motherreveals the Dan Marino hate shrine she called her son's bedroom? Yeah this kid was on one just like old Finkle which was shockingly weird for an 11 year old boy no matter how lonely he is. His parents are seriously neglecting him. Anyways another jarring part of the film leads me to my next point, is after IT gets stabbed in the face the kids decide to continue to go after IT and find themselves in the danger zone. All because IT somehow kidnaps the same girl who stabbed IT in the face with that iron like spear I told you about now gone… The preteens all go after the girl revealing a new deep dark world beneath this small town of Derry, Maine that runs through the sewer system. Put it this way, if a clown ran a junk yard for creepy carnivals that had a lost and found pile filled with decades of items belonging to various kids who's faces have been featured on the back of a milk carton… IT would be the commander and chief of that pile. Did I mention the array of floating missing kids which orbited the giant pile of bikes, toys, and killer clown sewer things that was never mentioned at the end of the movie… Anyways, once the kids find the only girl in the group in her zombie like trance IT placed her in once she was kidnapped, the same 11 year old or so, the one who seriously needs a new hobby like old Finkle and Eionhorn… He kisses the girl which wakes her up?! What is this a fairy tale? This is a rendition and remake reboot of Stephen King! Not to ride the old Johnsonville metaphorical sausage but, come on… We're talking about Stand By Me, Shawshank, The Body Snatchers… I got lost in that moment but, the numbers don't lie, and its fine if that's all that matters in the sake of making money and descent art. Moving on, the kids then get into a sloppy spit swapping slug fest with IT throwing everything they can at 'em.
Then the only black kid in the group as usual, pulls out an air gun used to kill cattle at his family's local slaughter house. Although, he only has one cartridge left due to a meaningless encounter with a teen bully who was possessed by IT which seemed as a big sub story all to lead to a small pointless egg to show the black kid dropping the strap carrying extra cartridges for the air gun down what seems to be an endless black hole. Again, pointless and distracting and poorly executed while using the King's book as the format. Here's why, Georgie's brother shoots his little brother in the head… Follow me… IT shapes shifts throughout the movie and uses this to elude his victims. So during one of IT's shape shifting mind screwing moments, IT takes the form of little Georgie and really pulls at your heart strings within the characters dialogue. I mean it was a really touching moment that seemed as if the film makers were trying to convey a moment of closure for the older brother by him shooting his younger brother in the forehead accepting his brother is gone and IT was only tricking him to believe that the small pitiful one armed little boy standing in front of him was his long lost younger brother. For some reason, the air gun hits IT dead to rights square in the face and doesn't do a damn thing, but piss IT off. IT then takes the older brother hostage who shot him with the air gun and tries to trade his life for the life of all the rest of the kids to leave and go free. They all then attack IT yet again getting the best of him causing IT to crawl down into what is revealed as another deeper darker conveniently placed hole while uttering the words, "Fear" for some weird reason.
Overall the film was entertaining enough for me to care about seeing how the director will tie in the true story line of which Stephen King cleverly scribes together of the teens growing up and returning home for possibly the final showdown. Then again, knowing Hollywood and seeing how they milked the Fast & Furious franchise including the pre-announced Hobbs movie featuring my man Dewayne "The Rock" Johnson. Has led me to understanding if the audience likes it, ride that train until the wheels fall off. So I will be right along all the way up until the credits roll on the sincerely proclaimed, "This is not a sequel, but it is part two of the film IT", coined by the director of the 2017 installment Andres Muschietti. So I guess we'll just have to see if the director keeps his word and ends this thing on a good note while explaining the story wholes that are hopefully as a fan left open to bring exciting and Stephen Kingy like Easter eggs that provide a great experience that will leave us wanting more. Although, not enough to make 7 more films featuring IT in street races, jumping off of buildings in Brazil, while killing kids drifting a Geo Storm in Tokyo.
For those seeking a "feel good" time filled with lethargic moments of a time at the movies jumping in fright, IT is just not the film for you. If you are looking to see how a psychological thriller that touches on the realities of a child predator adapted to the screen from my man Stephen King, then you'll enjoy yourself enough to not demand your money back. Plus the new young kid star in Hollywood who's on the rise Finn Wolhard, is seriously hilariously scene snatching funny in the film. He by far helped give the cast their flair and continued relentlessly to bring the funny well timed comedic breaks even when we were forced by the inexplicable Hollywood shoehorn story to believe dumb stuff within the direction of the 2017 remake. All said, I give this reboot Hollywood remake of what was a cutting edge film in 1990 from what I consider one of the greatest publicly known published writers of my time on earth… 4 STARS… for the great cinematography and cleverly placed comedic relief along with the urge to see more.

50 State ornaments! Couple with red, white, and blue tinsel for a patriotic Christmas tree!
One of my first projects in 3D was to trace out an outline of Delaware and add a star for Dover. This would have been time-consuming to do for all 50 states, but fortunately, I found all 50 states with the capitols marked from 50states.com.
From there, I created a Gimp file with a layer containing the oval that would ultimately frame the ornament (a 4x5 oval, done as 2400x3000 pixels to keep everything high quality at the start of the process) and a text layer to define the maximum amount of space I would need for the name (i.e., the Carolinas). I ended up moving this up to give a better fit for states with shorter names.
I added each state map as a layer in GIMP, filled in the outline, paying attention to islands, etc., and left a mark to indicate the capitol. You can see the remnants of 50states' star in the Arkansas image above. For the next step, I needed a solid fill inside the image, with a mark large enough to be reflected in the svg file but small enough to be filled and covered by the star I would end up creating in Tinkercad. From GIMP, I generated 50 pngs, changing the state that was visible and the content of the text layer between each one.
I used image.online-convert.com to convert the pngs to svgs, preparing for importation into Tinkercad.
Once all 50 svgs were prepared, I brought the first into Tinkercad. I worked with the dimensions of the state, the capitol, the background, and the ornament itself, ultimately settling on a 3mm height for the base, 6mm for the state, and 8mm for the frame and the star. Once the background (bottom piece), the frame, and the star were set, I imported each state's svg, scaled them to match the size of the frame, and exported their stls.

72 hours in Florence
Some people go to the Cape or the Hamptons for a long weekend. Not us. We like to keep it interesting and with points to burn, we decided to book a long weekend to our once-upon-a-time home, Florence, Italy. Having spent 5 months living and studying in the city, we skipped the typical tourist attractions in lieu of our most nostalgic spots. Although this type of itinerary is not for everyone, it's safe to say we hit all of our favorite Florentine places.
4 countries in 24 hours. That's how our whirlwind weekend in Florence began. Because we booked an award flight through Chase, we opted to fly Air France via CDG to Florence since there were no direct options available. Our connection timing was already aggressive, knowing we had to go through EU border patrol. However, due to some strong headwinds and airport congestion, our flight landed 45 minutes late. As a result, we missed our connecting flight. So did the other 50 passengers ahead of us. Long story short, we ended up on a detour through Amsterdam.
Day 1
At long last, we arrived at our hotel by 5 - just in time to relax and get ready for balsamic steaks at Acqua al Due. Our hotel was in the perfect location, just off Piazza della Repubblica and steps to Piazza del Duomo. This historic landmark cum boutique hotel was the absolute perfect hub to all of our adventures. Just check out our view at Hotel Brunelleschi!
Although we didn't get a lot of sightseeing in our first night, it was the perfect way to reintroduce ourselves to the city and rest up for a fun weekend.
Day 2
The next morning, we headed to our favorite bar, across from our school, Palazzo Rucellai for caffe and cornetti. We were happy to see that our favorite barista was still there!
TIP: Drink your coffee (a tiny, but potent ristretto shot) at the bar. It's cheaper since you won't get charged for sitting. Plus, it's inherently more italian.
Afterward, we retraced our steps back to our respective apartments, Tim's on Via Gino Capponi and mine in Piazza D'Azeglio. All our study abroad friends will appreciate that everything still looks and feels the same. We even stopped by Supermercato Conad to find our favorite 2€ wine and Kinder Surpresas. Don't judge.
After working up an appetite, we headed to Mercato Centrale. Downstairs, you'll find various stalls selling fresh pasta, cheese, meats, produce and pantry supplies. The upstairs was completely redone since we last visited and we were so excited to see stations selling prepared foods like bistecca, pizza, pasta and more. We enjoyed a light lunch with some Chianti and headed back out to explore some more.
TIP: There's also the San Lorenzo leather market right outside the food market, where you can find great wallets, gloves and knick knacks. They also have larger items like bags and scarves. Just come prepared to haggle with the vendors. It's fun!
En route to Oltrarno, we stopped at the Ferragamo Museum to ogle over his masterpieces. On display, we also found some of Andy Warhol's shoe ads and haute couture pieces from the likes of Viktor & Rolf and Issey Miyake. At a 6€ admission fee, this is a must-see on your next visit.
We also made a pitstop at Gelateria La Carraia for some of our favorite gelato and quickly spotted Ginger the Beagle, whose owner, Georgette of Girl in Florence I fangirled hard core. If you don't already follow her Florentine adventures on Instagram, do so now and thank me later.
After a long day of exploring, we headed to a 4-hour dinner at one of our favorite old spots, Il Latini. For 50€ per person, they bring out course after course of Tuscan deliciousness from crostini to mozzarella, pasta, bistecca and all the limoncello you can imagine. The best part of our dinner was making new friends. Christina and Bridgette, who turned out to know one of our friends! It truly is a small world out there.
Day 3
There may be such a thing as too much limoncello at Il Latini, because we decided to sleep in the following morning before hitting a couple holiday markets.
First stop was Santa Croce for the annual Heidelberger Weihnachtsmarkt (German Christmas Market). The sights and smells were to die from. From mulled wine to pretzels, there's something for everyone. Not to mention the plethora of gift options. Sadly for us, we only brought carryons, so space was slightly limited. Still, window shopping here was definitely a highlight.
From there, we made our way across the Arno to Piazzale Michelangelo, for what is hands down our favorite view of this city. Midday, the crowds are smaller than the popular sunset hour, but with live music and a spectacular view, we were in heaven.
Climbing down the hill, we headed to the Nataleperfile holiday fair set in historic Palazzo Corsini. We especially loved this market because the proceeds go towards helping terminally ill patients in Florence and the surrounding areas. For a full breakdown of the holiday markets about town, see this and this.
We decided to stop by our favorite pub for a pre-dinner apertif. Although we couldn't sit out on the two-person balcony overlooking the Duomo, we were delighted to see JJ Cathedral decked out for Christmas. Lots of great memories here! If you see Neal Wikert anytime soon, ask him about this place. It's a great story ;)
For dinner, we found a new spot, Enoteca Conquinarius. This place was great! Our sommelier brought 6 different bottles of wine to compliment our dinner selections, telling us the story of where and how the grapes were grown. His approach was charming and unique, as well as self-proclaimed "democratic". He didn't want to lean us towards just one bottle without knowing the background of all of our matches. The food was also excellent, from the crostini misti to the beef cheeks and wild boar. We highly recommend it. you can even make a reservation on the Fork.
Day 4
Before embarking on our long flight home by way of Zurich, we took the opportunity to visit the Terraza at la Rinascenete to take in 360 views of the city. That day was especially quiet at the cafe as the Florentines were busy voting on their referendum. Although the coffee here is substantially overpriced, the view was worth it.
We also had our last "supper", which consisted of one of the most famous Florentine street foods - panini al lampredotto. For those who don't know, this is a messy sandwich made with stewed tripe. It was so good but a little heavy for a long haul flight. #NoRegrets.
The flight home was far less eventful than on the way there. We stayed up the entire time to help keep ourselves on track for work the next day. This method worked great because we went to bed a normal hour and slept through the night. That's the beauty of such a short trip; your body doesn't have a chance to adapt to the new timezone and you can adjust back to EST without a problem.
All in all, this trip was worth the hectic schedule. It was so nice to end 2016 on a positive and nostalgic note. Now the real quesiton is, where on earth are we going to go in 2017?

During the midseason premiere of "The Walking Dead," Rick's group underwent a harrowing trial when the Wolves attacked Alexandria with a zombie horde. Despite Carl's grievous injury, however, the end result wasn't all bad. According to Lauren Cohan, who plays Maggie on the hit show, the group will come through this event stronger than ever.
"Going forward, we're reunited and stronger, but as a group we need to expand -- not just with babies, but we need to expand, and we're going to go out into a new territory that's going to really open up the next level of the show," she told Entertainment Weekly. "You've seen the group look for new safeholds, but the next place we find is going to be the beginning of the show as we've come to know it."

As to Maggie's work with Deanna, Cohan said, "Deanna saw things in Maggie that she didn't necessarily see in herself when they got to Alexandria, and I think the most important part was that she could be this intermediary. She understood the way her group functioned, but she also has that hopeful vision and aligned with that hopeful vision that Deanna had to create a sustainable community."
"And this is all coming before she's pregnant, before she knows that they're going to have a baby, and so it's very fortunate that she gains these lessons from Deanna," she continued. "And then what we get to see as we progress is Rick saying that Deanna was right. These are the things you have to do, and he's realizing that Maggie may be able to deal with certain people that he isn't able to. He's, well, you know, brutish."
"So we have this sort of combined approach to a lot of the future challenges that we'll see this season, and it's fantastic," she added.
Based on the Image Comics series of the same name and created by Robert Kirkman, "The Walking Dead" airs Sundays at 9 pm EST on AMC.

Creativity Over Adversities
Turning 16 is big. Everyone wants a huge party that comes with a car. I wanted a job. Struggling was a factor. My mommy, two sisters and I have seen the white paper, then the blue paper, then the sheriff, so you know he showed us the yellow paper. Oh the stress.
Now, it got real when it came to family reunion trips. We went, saving every penny. That didn't last. By the end of the trip, we were hungry. No more money to eat out with the rest of the family. They saw it. My mommy, two sisters and I had no funds. Some stared, some talked, some showed off, and one helped. Oh the embarrassment. But at that moment, I resented them. But why? We weren't their responsibility.
I needed a job bad. I applied everywhere, but no response. Then one day I noticed my weight, like I really noticed the pounds I had on me. I blamed my fat. I blamed my fat for keeping me away from job opportunities. That shit had to go. I had to get rid of the fat. I will always remember how I felt when that boy from middle school made fun of my weight, or the stares that kept my head down during high school. I just looked at my fat, cried, kept it moving, and remember how my grandmother would tell me I'm not fat, God made me plump. Rest In Peace my beautiful angel.
But, it was something at that moment in time when applying for jobs that told me to disown my fat, to hate it, to kill it, to not give no more food to support it. I love food so there was no way I could give up the curry chicken, honey buns, or fast foods. So, I tricked my stomach, you have it, now you don't.
I wrote this a while back and wanted to share the moments when life had me effed up. Life had me thinking the impossibilities and was stopping me from dreaming.
It's tough not being the person you want to be, especially when entering a career. You see so much beautiful people and wonder if you are beautiful just as they are. It took me awhile to overcome shyness and to stop downing my image. I still go through the shyness but, it's not as bad as it was before.
Life obstacles can really downplay your confidence and hold back your inner creativity. But the biggest remedy for your struggles is to express it through art, express every bad moment through art. Whether it's putting on makeup everyday or drawing each and everyday, some form of art will remind you of who you are and push you to strive for the best for you.
Elevate your beauty and brighten your days!

Small business owners feel left out of jobs discussion
ASHEVILLE, N.C. — At the local Chamber of Commerce here, a handful of employers discussed what would spark them to hire. Not one thought a tax credit would be of any use.
North Carolina, with 11 percent unemployment through October, already offers a state tax credit.
Instead of short-term boosts, they favored lower taxes and less paperwork to provide a better long-term business climate.
"You can plant trees or you can plant corn, and it seems like we've planted a lot of corn," said Benjamin Teague, the chamber's senior vice president of economic development.
The employers said that President Barack Obama first needs to attack fears about the economy.
"By getting people off the ledge, they'll do a lot to get people to start hiring," said Paul Szurek, the chief financial officer for Biltmore Farms, a mid-sized company involved in commercial development, residential homebuilding and hotel management.
Many fears about the economy, however, stem from initiatives that Obama is pursuing, such as health care and carbon trading legislation. Both efforts have employers concerned that their costs will rise.
Stephen Santangelo, the president of Palmer Wahl, a manufacturer of industrial temperature and pressure gauges, complained that small companies such as his feel forgotten by Washington.
"The stimulus planning was not done for small business at all," he complained.
If tax relief for employers is pursued, it should focus on smaller firms, said Steve Woods. The company that he built in Asheville, G3 Medical, sterilizes and packages medical equipment for manufacturers. He competes against big multinational corporations such as Johnson & Johnson, and said his growing firm would hire more workers if there were a lower marginal tax rate for small employers.

I was probably 7 or 8 and my chubbly brother – perched on mother's shoulders – a mere 4 or 5. We're standing in the back garden of a holiday chalet home we'd rented out for a week in the summer – probably Hunstanton or Cromer – certainly nothing more exotic than either of those two places.
The lovely lady holding onto my elbow is my beloved Nan (maternal) and the man standing between both ladies is my Grandad (latterly referred to 'fondly' as Grumps because of his general demeanour) and dad must've taken the picture.
It's not the greatest of memories because this holiday was one of the most horrific ones I'd ever had and I've always labelled it: 'The Crane Fly Holiday'. The reason for this was simply that the bungalow/chalet had double patio doors (French Windows I think we called them back then) and on the afternoon we'd arrived I'd rushed excitedly over to them to open them up, before realising that the shadowey grey nets covering the glass were actually about a ten thousand (NOT an exaggeration to a 7-year old scaredy cat) Daddy-Long-Legs sunning themselves on the window panes and it'd freaked me right out. I'd always been afraid of them and this episode merely served to cement the fear. Ten-thousand-fold ;).
My brother who never seemed afraid of anything (and I often wonder if this holiday might've given him all the ammunition he'd needed) used to catch these leggy flies and run after me with their flailing limbs poking out from his fist threatening to put them in my hair and I would run away screaming (increasing the hatred I already had for this usurper of my parents' affections). I actually only 're-learnt' not to be frightened of them when I became a single parent when I also briefly 'overcame' my fear of spiders.
I've been studying this image of us all lined up in the back garden and I think it speaks volumes about the relationship and the individual characteristics of the ensemble. My Nan was always my protector and so it's no coincidence that here she has her hand on my elbow; she steered me through a great many upsets whilst I was growing up and I can still feel the intense shock I felt when she died aged 72 (I'd been 18 and already struggling with her demise).
My grandfather stands tall and slightly apart with the means by which he could reach out and touch, firmly hidden from sight (literary waffle for hands in pockets) – as he did in life. I heard many terribly sad stories of Grumps from both my Nan and mum as I grew up, so know that he was a tyrannical, self-absorbed man who made both these females' lives unbearable at times. He might have been a cheerful enough grandfather but that didn't need full-time dedication and it also gave the appearance of being a happy grandfather in public. I've always had suspicions about Grumps having a reason for his hurtful demeanour and maybe I'll touch on that at another time (or perhaps just put it into a story).
I think it's quite telling that my own hands are pressed together as if in prayer, because I spent most of my childhood (and adulthood, I've come to realise) wishing and praying for something magical and 'more than this'. Mother's face says it all – she's looking into the eyes of the man she absolutely and unconditionally (to the detriment of her children) adored to her dying day. Her smile was never broader than when she was with dad.
And then there's my brother who suddenly appeared one day at the back door, my 'new playmate' which I simply hadn't been prepared for, and here he's being given the visual, physical elevation which I struggled to cope with and understand for most of our upbringing. I feel as though I've post-mortem-ed this snapshot but really it does say it all.

|This is sadly the only picture I snapped, I was too busy shoving dumblings in my face.
Let me start this out by saying this is the best Dim Sum I have EVER had. And that's a bold statement, seeing as I grew up in SF having Dim Sum pretty much every weekend and I had my Bat Mitzvah party in the Yank Sing banquet hall- that's how much I love Dim Sum.
But let's get back to Tim Ho Wan. Tim Ho Wan is the world's cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant in the world. When I was in Hong Kong I had to check it out- located in the literally inside of the Hong Kong Station Metro station in Hong Kong Central, this cheap, fast and easy meal will do nothing short of knock your socks off.
We got there after taking the L1 metro line and not leaving the station. At about 9:30 am, a mere 30 minutes after opening there was already a line out the door. This tiny train station restaurant- I swear the kitchen is bigger than the actual seating area- features long sharing tables only separating sections by a row of condiments. Before even entering the restaurant or putting your name down, a short and stout Chinese woman shoves a paper menu in your hand and hands you a golf-sized pencil to start circling your order. When your table is called, you are expected to not only have your menu filled out but also hand it over to the brute hostess who brings you to your table.
While the elbow room at the tables is very far from abundant, the quality of food makes up for it. Don't expect to have a leisurely meal there- this place is really a sit and go type of place. There was actually a girl seated sort of across from me on her laptop and got a lot of dirty looks from the waitresses.
Atmosphere aside- the food was INCREDIBLE. Let's start with the BBQ Pork Buns (bao)- holy sh** where these amazing. The pork buns have this amazingly sweet and soft bun that is crystallized with sugar (?) and the mouth feel is just amazing. The shrimp dumplings (har gow) were amazing with a super bamboo/shrimp flavor inside and a perfectly gummy rice casing. Shui Mai, excellent, spare ribs, excellent, rice noodle crepe/roll (or chee cheong fun) excellent. The only thing that was kind of eh and confusing was that we checked the box for the side veggie and expected pea shoots (domio or chow dau miu), maybe bok choy or Chinese broccoli but no, we got steamed ice berg lettuce, which was pretty bizarre, but let's be real, I still ate it.
Over this is Dim Sum NOT to miss when in Hong Kong and will knock any other Dim Sum experience you have ever had out of the park. (Don't let the fancy restaurants in Hong Kong be the only thing you eat).

You know, if a singer as talented as Adele can have an off night at the Grammys, and if a master of his own universe like Kanye West can be $53 million in debt and make a fool of himself begging Mark Zuckerberg for $1 billion, then maybe we need to cut the poor convertible market a little slack. It seems nobody is perfect—with the possible exception of Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator and star of Hamilton. It seems there are a million things he hasn't done. Just you wait. Just you wait.
We saw some green shoots last week, with some days of outperformance by small caps and the Nasdaq, and signs of life in biotech. Still, convertibles, in general, have to be considered disappointing so far this year. But we've seen this movie before— disappointing performance during nasty downward market moves, but catching up to expectations and passing them over time. Yes, it's easier for convertibles to do this in a time of healthier coupons. Still, as we see more and more bonds drop well below par, this is arguably a better situation for those concerned with credit deterioration. Better to drop from 70 or 80 than from par.
Today's action continues to be generally encouraging, even with oil failing to follow through on talks of a production freeze, and even with the pain being sustained by HOCS member Gogo. Let's just say Lady Gaga's take on David Bowie was a lot better than the way Gogo stock and bondholders must be feeling at the prospect of losing American Airlines as a client. No truth to the rumor, so far as we know, that Lady Gaga will be buying Gogo and changing its name to Gaga. But we'll address this, and other topics, in a forthcoming piece on the company.
We leave you with this thought. In the middle of last summer, the average bond on the main HOCS 20 list yielded about 2 1⁄2% and carried roughly a 50% conversion premium. The premium hasn't changed much from then to now, but the yield has doubled, and the bond price has fallen from roughly par to 90.
A better entry point? As our favorite anti-hero Walter White would say, "You're (expletive) right!"

Conservative pundit Charles Krauthammer rated Donald Trump's performance at the final presidential debate on Wednesday as good overall, but said the Republican nominee "blew it" when he declined to say whether he would accept the results of the November election.
"This was political suicide," Krauthammer said.
The nationally syndicated columnist warned that the electorate does not want a "radical who will challenge the foundations of the republic."
"You don't challenge the legitimacy of an election. I think that was a terrible mistake," he said.

Friday, April 20, 2007
For the past week, approximately 100 sealing ships have been trapped in ice floes off the northeast coast of Newfoundland. The ships and their crew had been participating in the annual seal hunt off Canada's easternmost province.
Several of the vessels have been damaged by the ice and supplies are now running low for those sailors awaiting rescue by the Canadian Coast Guard. As of Thursday, 6:00 p.m. EDST, some 20 crew members, out of an estimated 400, had been rescued.
A Coast Guard icebreaker, the Sir Wilfred Grenfell, on mission to free the trapped ships, itself became stuck in the ice. A Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) spokesperson indicated to CTV News that, although the Grenfell had since been freed, another icebreaker, the Ann Harvey, was now trapped. "It's just such heavy ice that even ice breakers are having trouble," said Erika Pittman, a communications officer with the DFO.
In addition to the crushing ice, extreme weather conditions have been hampering rescue efforts. Pittman suggested that conditions wouldn't improve until sometime next week. The amount and thickness of the pack ice, according to Pittman, is the worst it has been for sealers in the past 15 years.
In addition to three icebreakers on hand, the Coast Guard is flying helicopters in to provide food and support to the stranded sailors. Most of the sealing ship captains have refused to abandon their ships, instead staying with them and hoping for a change in conditions or to be freed by the Coast Guard.
"Usually you try to stay with the ship because you think the safety is with the ship because the ship is big, but sometimes it is too late. In this case, we're hoping that as it changes and the breakers and helicopters are there and we can get them all out," said Brian Penney, a superintendent with the Coast Guard.
"They're putting a lot of effort into pulling them out," said Penny. "But the sheer numbers, it's a very, very slow process." According to Penny, approximately 15 of the longliners ships have had their hulls damaged by the ice to the extent that the ships are at risk of sinking.
Critics of the seal hunt point out that the annual hunt is not only "cruel to animals", but is also a dangerous occupation for the sealers. When sealers have to be rescued by the Coast Guard, "Canadian taxpayers foot the bill," suggested Rebecca Aldworth, director of Canadian wildlife issues for the Humane Society of the United States.
