Major Roster Moves Overshadow Bruins Draft
Saturday, June 27, 2015
Boston Bruins made three selections in the first round of the 2015 NHL Draft on Friday night in Sunrise, Florida. Due to mid day trades, Boston ended up with picks 13th,14th and 15th in the first round.
Boston's first pick came at 13 where they selected 6'0" defenseman Jakub Zboril from the Czech Republic.
The Bruins selected Jake Debrusk, 5'11" left winger from Canada with the 14th pick in the draft.
Finally, the Bruins selected Zachary Senyshyn, a 6'1" right winger from Canada with the 15th pick. Senyshyn was not expected to be drafted in the first round by many of the experts heading into the night.
The Bruins draft was very much overshadowed by three major roster moves that new General Manager Don Sweeney announced on Friday afternoon. Boston traded Dougie Hamilton and Milan Lucic and also signed defenseman Adam McQuaid.
Hamilton to Calgary
The first move became official at around 3:30 when Sweeney announced that the club had traded defenseman Dougie Hamilton to Calgary for the 15th, 45th and 52nd overall picks.
Hamilton played three season for Boston, appearing in 178 games and posting 22 goals and 61 assists for a total of 83 points. In his young career, Hamilton is a plus 23.
Just two hours after Hamilton was traded, General Manager Don Sweeney announced that the club had traded forward Milan Lucic to the LA Kings in exchange for the 13th overall pick, defenseman Colin Miller and goaltender Martin Jones.
Last season, Miller appeared in 70 games for the AHL Manchester Monarchs and led all defensemen with 19 goals and 33 assists. Miller has 24 goals and 45 assists in his AHL career.
Martin Jones played 15 games for the Kings in 2014-15, posting a 4-5-2 record and a goals against average of 2.25 and a saver percentage of .906.
What They Give up in Lucic
Milan Lucic was drafted by the Bruins in 2008 and has since played his entire career in Boston. In 2014-15, Lucic tallied 18 goals and 26 assists for 44 points while playing a career high 81 games.
In his career, Lucic has scored a total of 139 goals, 203 assists for 342 points in 566 NHL games.
Adam McQuaid
In between the above trades, Boston announced the re signing of defenseman Adam McQuaid to four year deal worth $11 million.
In 2014-15, played in 63 games, scored one goal, had six assists and finished the season with a rating of minus two.
McQuaid has a total of nine goals and 34 assists in his NHL career with a plus 51 rating.
Draft Continues Today
The NHL Draft's second round resumes on Saturday. Boston will have picks 7,15 and 22 in the round and 37,45 and 52 overall.

Bassinets and "care chairs"—custom seats for kids up to 3 years old—are also on hand, as are free games and puzzles.

Liddell and Scott suggest a reduplication of syphos "the crafty" (with Aeolic -u- for -o-), but Klein calls this folk-etymology.
A king in classical mythology who offended Zeus and was punished in Hades by being forced to roll an enormous boulder to the top of a steep hill. Every time the boulder neared the top, it would roll back down, and Sisyphus would have to start over.

1 Egg, at room temperature
1 c Olive oil, at room temp.
1 tb Lemon juice
Crush the garlic in a food blender. Add the egg, and blend for 15 seconds.
Very slowly add the oil through the top of the blender so that an emulsion
can take place. Stir in the lemon juice by hand. Hint: To get the smell of
garlic off your hands, simply rub your hands in used coffee grinds. End of
odor. In Italy, it is common to eat a whole coffee bean after a big meal so
that your lover will not be bothered by garlic.

I've been slightly addicted to Etsy for a long time now so I took the plunge, opened up a new selling account so I could use my "Grubbi" name and started listing last night.
It's such a time consuming experience! Probably why I've never actually had a serious pop at setting up a shop before.
As I may have mentioned in the past...I kind of flit from one project to the next and rarely actually sit down and finish anything in a timely fashion. So being organised enough to get a few bits together, presentable, photographed, edited, measured, described and uploaded...sheesh, what a long winded, slightly boring experience! I'd much rather be kneading clay or something a tad more creative.
Still, I've had a lot of likes and even been added to someones treasury...all in two days! Pretty pleased with that! Not bad for an English gal in a mainly US pond...and what a hugeeee pond it is!
Anyhooo, my etsy is linked to now on my blog and my Flickr...I ship worldwide too :D

Baseball Parking, And Other Expensive Hassles - Remember when baseball parking wasn't a significant part of your entertainment budget? No, I don't either. And doesn't the traffic in and out and overpriced baseball parking get exasperating? If you're like most fans, you park in team lots at the ballpark, accepting whatever the cost is. Maybe you can find something a couple bucks ... Read More
Ballpark Food: What Will You Eat At The Game? - Ballpark food, as you well know I'm sure, is priced just above the point of being unreasonable. On top of that, there are so many choices at the ballpark that you often get that sense of missing out on something. Not to mention the lines at some stands…is the Shackburger or Tony Luke's sandwich really ... Read More
Should I Take The Ballpark Tour? - I remember, when Camden Yards first opened, reading in brochures that the Orioles offered a ballpark tour. I remember thinking that it didn't seem like something I'd be interested in, because at the ballpark I want to see a game. A pitching matchup. Home runs. Stolen bases. Extra innings. If you can't root for the ... Read More
Baseball Fan Mistakes I Used To Make - Since I've started researching everything there is to know about various baseball venues in the quest to help the non-affluent baseball fan, I've learned a lot. Some things have saved me money, some things have saved me time, and some things have saved me a lot of aggravation. Even I still don't always get it ... Read More
Ballpark Rankings – Rating Half of MLB's Ballparks - Because of my tireless efforts in improving the baseball experience for fans, I frequently get asked what my favorite ballpark is, and while I do have my favorite ones to visit, I really don't have a definitive answer to the question. Which has kept me from actually writing a list of ballpark rankings. Until today, ... Read More
Joe Mock and 203 Ballparks - Fans whose yearly vacations revolve around a baseball road trip probably know the name Joe Mock. If they don't, they should. Mock is the author and webmaster at Baseballparks.com, the premier website for baseball roadtrippers.

Cheaper Baseball Tickets? Try SeatGeek - It's the timeless quest of the baseball fan: finding cheaper baseball tickets. As I'm sure you know, it's not the easiest thing to do. Baseball teams jack up the prices of the really good seats, especially teams that have become contenders of late and have increased demand for tickets. You've also got all those surprise ...

Hotwire: Save A Chunk On Hotels + More - I first discovered Hotwire when booking hotel rooms on a ballpark trip way back in 2003, and I have been using them so much ever since that paying $100 for a hotel room is something I don't even consider anymore. I'm sure you've noticed how expensive hotel stays are these days. If you book directly ... Read More
ParkWhiz: Reserve The Ideal Spot at the Game - Whenever I am going to drive and park at the game, especially in a ballpark that's in the heart of a city, I always check ParkWhiz first. You should look at this great website too, for two very good reasons. The first is the cost of parking, of course. At Fenway Park in Boston, for ... Read More
Save Money On Souvenirs: Three Tips - I deliberately haven't put information on how to save money on souvenirs in Ballpark E-Guides. I may mention what ballparks have an outside vendor scene, where a fan can buy cheaper T-shirts or caps or pennants. But for the most part I don't go beyond recommending against buying anything in the team shop. Rarely will ... Read More
Gluten-Free At The Ballpark: Some Tips - If you are the proud possessor of a gluten allergy, you might think it's next to impossible to eat gluten-free at the ballpark. But fortunately, that is not the case anymore. Because my wife is afflicted with celiac disease, it makes finding food at any recreational event somewhat difficult. Obviously the classic hot dog with ... Read More
Healthy Food At The Ballpark: Some Tips - Finding healthy food at the ballpark isn't easy. The multitudes of food offerings at ballparks, often celebrating local flavor, are wonderful but can be overwhelmingly tempting, especially when one knows they'll be doing some walking off of the calories. Despite what I do here, I'm not at as many ballgames as people think. And since ... Read More
Baseball's Biggest Loss Of 2014 - Few things were funnier than my father's occasional profanity-laden philosophy. Before baseball's last collective bargaining agreement, I asked him if he would quit watching if the players went on strike again. Like everyone else, he was angry as hell about 1994 and once said to me that he wouldn't care if he never saw another ... Read More
Baseball Tickets On Craigslist – Are They Legit? - People often come up to me and matter-of-factly ask, "Kurt, I've been thinking of buying baseball tickets on Craigslist. But should I? Can that medium be trusted?" Sports fans love to tell the story of the great deal they scored on tickets once...be it through a scalper, great timing on StubHub, a classified ad, whatever. ...

Baseball Tickets Online: Your Many Options - Isn't it great to be able to find baseball tickets for a ball game while still wearing a robe and drinking coffee? I remember when I was a younger Orioles fan and had to use the telephone or the box office, and that's one thing I don't yearn for when fans talk about the "good ... Read More
How To Save Money On Playoff Tickets - The MLB Playoffs are here, and of the six division winners that have already punched their tickets to the postseason, only one...the Boston Red Sox of all teams...have seen a World Series championship since 1988. Four of these teams haven't even won a World Series in the ballpark they currently play in...that includes the Cubs...and ... Read More
30 Ballparks In 23 Days - In the 2012 season, Chuck Booth pulled off a remarkable feat. He saw every inning of 30 games in all 30 MLB ballparks. Yes, I know. A few people have done that.

Parking For Free At The Ballpark - Recently I interviewed Scott Chamberlain, a prominent member of Ballpark Chasers, and someone who has accomplished a pretty remarkable feat in 2016...he has paid just $2 for parking all season!

Megabus – Great For Traveling Fans - So you have no problem taking a 4-5 hour trip to see your favorite team in another ballpark, right? For fans whose home ballparks are outrageously expensive to visit, like Cubs and Red Sox fans, it's a popular thing.

Ey up 🙂
Hope that this find you well…this week I have been mainly working, AFO'ing, Cuppola:Ward'ing, Radio Derby'ing, eating curry and just generally getting a bit excited about xmas (perhaps a little prematurely I will admit, but still, I am just very much looking forward to some time off with my family)
MASSIVE BREAKING NEWS…So then, after last week's very scrumptious announcement I have been getting down to some work. And I can now exclusively announce that I will be recording some material over December for an official release with Navigator records in the new year. So will keep you posted and may even do a little 'from the studio' blog so you can see firsthand how glamorous a job being a folk musician is 😉
In other news, I had a grand gig with Cupola:Ward on Friday…in case you've missed me nattering about this project before…it's me + Cupola = Cupola:Ward 🙂 We do a mix of contemporary/trad and original material…unaccompanied (accupola…get it :p) and with instrumentation. Basically I get to dance around like a nutter while singing happy stuff…it's like being Beyonce but with more hurdy gurdy! We were at the Brewtown Folk Club in Burton, and it was absolutely packed! We just couldn't believe it! It was a bit like being in a can of folky sardines but we had a ball and got to unleash our xmas EP.
This is my personal xmas offering, there is a special message at the end of the video. I am going to try and get the track up for download over the next week or so… will keep you posted on that one.
I also went on my local BBC Radio Daytime show on Friday, Aleena Naylor is lovely! She's had me in to sing live on the show lots and we've really struck up a friendship. A smashing Derby lass she is! You can listen to the interview here (from 1hr 40 mins) —-> http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00lh6sh/Aleena_Naylor_Does_an_age_difference_matter_in_a_relationship/

Ciao for now, have a lovely week

" Adult but immature is an unsatisfying phase of life where everything is interesting and attractive but nothing is mine." Subodh Sharma
Without a doubt we all go through this phase. It is kind of inevitable. We feel very angry, lonely, unattached, depressed, down, cranky and what not. I refer and compare it as an earthquake inside us.
This phase of life must be as small as possible or will be very devastating. It should never reoccur because if reoccurred, it will tend to become a label and hence permanent reference to our personality. Reoccurrence will also damage whatever we might have built in the past.
In a nutshell, spot-on statement, this is the phase we don't want to have in our life. We though, inevitably have it!
Then what to do? What is the call and the rule here?
1st answer is; Do Not Ignore!
Simply, do not ignore this phase of life. Ignorance will not solve the deeply buried issues. There is a reason that we all go through this phase. Help yourself to understand the reason, accept the reality and the possible consequences if this phase is not dealt with urgency.
2nd answer is; Learn!
Now, move ahead and learn what are your specific immature behaviours and how to completely dissolve those behaviours. There are some exceptional personalities who have mastered the art of life and have negligible or don't have at all the "adult but immature" phase in their life. Learn from them. Request them the help you need. Explain your stand. Get help. Visit our and similar websites to read the inspiring material. Subscribe to our website for inspiring quotes and reads. Get connected to the material that can inspire you, and use it. Better even, spread it! Help others as well.
3rd answer is; Let It Go!
Further, once you have worked on your specific immature behaviours and have successfully overcome them, do not love them and keep them in your memories. Forget them. make deliberate efforts to push them out of your personality and existence.
Master the art of life. Become Exceptional!

Donald Trump's feud with House Speaker Paul Ryan and Republicans at-large continued Tuesday, with the party's presidential nominee calling out Wisconsin's congressional leader by name on Twitter for pulling support of his candidacy Monday.
Since Friday's revelation of Trump's derogatory comments from 2005 on Access Hollywood, a number of prominent Republicans have said they can no longer support the GOP candidate, including Sens. John McCain (Ariz.) and Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), Reps. Jason Chaffetz and Mia Love (Utah), as well as conservative radio talk-show host Hugh Hewitt and former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice.
Despite winning the second debate in a landslide (every poll), it is hard to do well when Paul Ryan and others give zero support!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 11, 2016
Our very weak and ineffective leader, Paul Ryan, had a bad conference call where his members went wild at his disloyalty.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 11, 2016
Despite Trump's claim that he won the second debate based on a number of unscientific Internet polls, a Politico/Morning Consult survey of 2,001 registered voters found that 42 percent believe Clinton prevailed in Sunday's one-on-one contest, compared to only 28 percent who said Trump was the winner.
Whatever the case, the GOP nominee came out swinging at campaign rallies Monday, aggressively attacking the Clintons and reiterating his promise to appoint a special prosecutor who would further look into the former Secretary's email scandal, if elected.
Campaign sources have also said that more personal allegations against both Bill and Hillary Clinton will be brought by Trump within the next week, who will also invite some of the former president's sexual assault accusers to speak at public events.
Trump's reinvigorated attacks against the entire Washington political establishment come after a House GOP conference call lead by Ryan and National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Greg Walden (Ore.) Monday.
Walden reportedly told his fellow Republican members that the campaign is now like "landing a airplane in a hurricane," after the political fallout this past weekend from Trump's remarks on Access Hollywood in 2005.
However, according to anonymous sources on Monday's call, several GOP congressmen were openly critical of Speaker Ryan's decision to both publicly and privately break with Trump.
According to former Trump campaign staffer and New York Republican strategist, Michael Caputo, the only real damage done by Ryan and fellow GOP members who have denounced Trump's candidacy is image-related.
"A lot of the [former] support was thin and disingenuous," he said. "None of these Republicans were even helping. In fact, some were breathing his name in fear for what it would do for their own reputations. It shows the true nature of the Republican Party."
Caputo concluded though that the "campaign is going to be so terrible, we're all going to smell like it for the next seven to eight years."

Around Trinidad
There are many places of interest around Trinidad. You can go for history to the UNESCO World Heritage Valle de los Ingenios (Sugar Mills Valley), or relax in the Caribbean Sea at Playa Ancon or go for nature to Topes de Collantes National Park. Our time was limited so we went for the first two options. Culture in the morning to start the year and then, relax time until sunset in the beach.
1st January in the morning was very relaxed in Trinidad and as a result, we were the only visitors going to Valle de los Ingenios by bus tour. That meant that we went by taxi with a private guide for us two! Not bad :)
The main site in El Valle is Manaca Iznaga state, a former state owned by the Iznaga family and which was the main sugar producing state in the area. Currently, we can still see the main tower, which was used to watch and control all of the sugar plantation, the main house where the Iznaga family lived, the slaves barracks and so other half-collapsed buildings.
The main house is now a restaurant and souvenir shop and it still keeps a nice colonial feel.
As in our visit to a rum factory in Jamaica, we were explained how the sugar cane is treated. And we could get juice out of it using the small mill below. In Jamaica, Naoko volunteered to be one of the oxen which would turn the mill. Therefore, now it was my turn to try the mill ;) We were also offered to drink the sugar cane juice and to mix it with rum. The cocktail was pretty tasty!
However, the most interesting thing to do in Manaca Iznaga was to climb the watch tower and enjoy the magnificent views over the valley and the whole former plantation.
After Manaca Iznaga sugar cane plantation, it was time to go to Guachinango, a former ranch or "hacienda" in Cuban Spanish. The ranch has a train station with a nice iron bridge and we were lucky enough to see the slow old train going along it.
Once in the ranch, there were some people working in the nearby fields and Yuuhi was particularly interested in this donkey ;)
The ranch main house was again a very beautiful colorful colonial building turned into a restaurant.
After Guachinango, we came back to Trinidad and stopped by a pottery oven and shop which have been active for many generations. There were photos of famous Cuban and foreign people who had visited the place, including Fidel Castro.
There was also a nice old car from the very beginning of automotion! And they were working on the engine to get it moving some time in the future...
After culture, it was time to go to the beach. Playa Ancon is only 10 km away from Trinidad and is a good place to relax and enjoy the Caribbean and a good sunset.

It Was a Dark and Stormy Night...
A good theatrical farce includes characters who find themselves in any number of improbable situations, who are exaggerated caricatures of themselves, and involves a good amount of slapstick. By this definition, the Hawai'i-stylized whodunit caper Who Killed Gilbert Botello? successfully captures the ideal of a farcical murder mystery—full of laughs, laughable characters, and any number of outlandish statements and ideas. Written by Garrick Paikai and conceived of as a performance tailored to the actors who romp through the play's two acts, Who Killed Gilbert Botello? is "a twisted farce from the mind of someone who didn't know how to write a play."
Paikai's observation on his intention behind the play raises some interesting questions. On its face, Who Killed Gilbert Botello? is a tropical murder mystery. There are some other themes not necessarily related to a murder mystery that distract from the primary focus of the work. Is Who Killed Gilbert Botello? simply a murder mystery and about finding the killer? Is it about homosexuality? Is it about the theatre community in Hawaii? Is it about infidelity? All of these themes come to light at some point during the performance, challenging the characters—but these themes do not contribute strongly to the development and growth of the characters onstage.
Set in 1998 during a Hawai'ian hurricane, Who Killed Gilbert Botello? transports the audience to the world of Detective Roy Rodger Kalauakekahuna III and his efforts to determine the killer amongst the several suspects present at a mansion on fictional Rabbit Island. From the first time Roy Rodger (Shawn Forsythe) steps onstage, a musical theme accompanies the fearless detective…cluing the audience into the notion that this is a play that won't take itself too seriously. Forsythe talks about the mystery (and about himself) in the third person—injecting humor into the story and keeping the mood light. The characters regularly break the fourth wall of the stage to interact with the audience and to talk to the audience. Voice-overs and cheeky comments, both by the actors onstage and through their commentary of events in the third person, allow the audience to enjoy a humorously crafted mix of old-school murder mystery set in the context of the exotic tropical storm. While this often works to dramatic effect, how these techniques advance the story isn't always clear.
Paikai wrote the script with his actors in mind—his attention to their abilities and to their sense of stagecraft is evident, and the cast obviously enjoyed the process of rehearsing and bringing Who Killed Gilbert Botello? to life onstage. Catch this romp of a theatrical tale while it is still showing at Kumu Kahua Theatre on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, and Sundays at 2pm, through September 24.
Watched on Thursday, 24 August at Kumu Kahua Theatre • Written by Garrick Paikai • Directed by R. Kevin Garcia Doyle

On Sunday 13 January, in Vilnius, Lithuania, "Bloody Sunday," Soviet troops stormed the television tower and other public buildings. Fourteen Lithuanians, men and women, were killed. On 20 January in Riga, Latvia, "Black Beret"Soviet troops stormed the Interior Ministry, killing five Latvians. The United States and world opinion were outraged: if these methods – the tactics of Tianamen Square – were used against every republic seeking independence, bloodbath would succeed bloodbath.
The orders for the crackdown in Vilnius were said to come "from the very top," but Gorbachev, after the first killings, got cold feet and ordered a stop to the operation. Urged to go to Vilnius, Gorbachev was told his security there could not be guaranteed. He stayed in Moscow, speaking to the Supreme Soviet, defending what had been done and refusing to condemn the use of force. On 21 January, Gorbachev did condemn brutality, and promised to punish those responsible. He was walking a tightrope between hard-liners who wanted a Union-wide crackdown on all forces opposed to the centre and reformists who were for change at whatever cost to the Soviet state. Meanwhile, Boris Yeltsin, as parliamentary leader of Russia signed a mutual security pact with the Baltic states.
A summit meeting between Gorbachev and Bush, planned for February, was abandoned as East-West relations deteriorated. Even though the Soviet Union had voted with the United Nations to support the use of force against Iraq, Gorbachev was conscious of Soviet ties to the country and of hard-line opposition to US gunboat diplomacy. He tried to persuade the United States to stay its hand and allow him time to work on the Iraq issue.

So I just published a book on Kindle. It's titled Wasted Miracles, (I named this blog after it) and I originally wrote it about a decade ago, rewrote it two or three times, and decided to put it out there to see what might happen. It's not the best thing I have written but it's frankly better than a lot of crap you'll pay ten bucks for in paperback. Obviously, you need a Kindle to access it, and if you have one, the book is available at:
It goes for $6.99, of which I will receive 70 percent in English-speaking countries and 35 percent elsewhere. I don't know why that is but am sure there is very fine print somewhere explaining the anomaly. The book is 367 pages long, so you're going to be paying just about two cents a page, which I personally believe is a pretty good deal.
Since I don't want anyone to assume from the title that this work may have religious overtones (it doesn't), here is what is called 'a pitch,' or a very brief intro to persuade you to buy the thing.
The Zulu wants his heroin back. His reputation is at stake. He and his bodyguard Comfort Okwiuke have their honor to uphold.
But where are the drugs? Did Herbie a mid-level seller, take them? Or is it Josie, his 19 year old alcoholic girlfriend? What of Mollie Catfish, a bar dancer? Or Jennifer Jamieson and Clare Drake, call girls who have smuggled a mysterious bundle aboard the cruise ship Isadora?
Wasted Miracles, set in the Nation's Capital, brings together protagonist Colin Marsh, a one-time reporter; his lover and Josie's mother, Catherine; and Mamadou Dioh, a Senegalese immigrant and former policeman.
The kidnapping of Josie launches Colin and Dioh into the realm of murder, revenge, arson and betrayal in the meanest neighborhoods of the Nation's Capital. Colin and Dioh battle the Zulu and his henchmen in a war where quarter is neither given nor expected. Their survival depends on daring, strength, street smarts and the help of Aunt Mim, a doyenne of Black Washington who once helped engineer the jailing of the city's Mayor.
Wasted Miracles is an intimate look at the darker side of Washington, DC, once known as the crime capital of North America, and a glimpse into the deadly business of addiction.
So there you are. Remember, this book was written and published in America, which should make you feel patriotic if you purchase it. It is set in Washington, a city many of you are familiar with, and all proceeds will go to benefit a local writer.
If you do buy it, I hope it provides you a bit of summer pleasure. There's a modicum of sex and violence, not too much morality, and the good guys win in the end, kind of. Happy reading and many thanks!

Eugenic Death 'Crimes Against Humanity' review
'Crimes Against Humanity'
(Heaven And Hell Records)
I do not get much thrash metal for review these days, but North Carolina's Eugenic Death deliver exactly that with aplomb and bring back some memories for me. They actually remind me of that time when thrash had been the thing, firmly entrenched, but some thrash bands were beginning to let this new sound, death metal creep in just a little bit. The vocals make me think of that partially, they are those clear yet rough 'n gruff yelled vocals, but in this case have a tiny hint of the death metal grow to their seedy underbelly. 'Crimes Against Humanity' will take you right back to the late 80s and early 90s thrash metal sound, they sound like they burst straight outta the Bay Area scene from back then. Some bands that spring to mind are Exodus, Defiance, Vio-lence, Death Angel, Righteous Pigs, Testament, Dark Angel and the like. It is definitely American sounding, no mixing of German thrash sound from back then as so many old style thrash bands do, no this is made in the USA all the way. This is some energetic stuff, nothing new or outside the box here, but the material is really good, some of it will stick in your head, you can rock out to it and headbang along. I am not sure if you can ask a whole lot more out of the classic thrash sound. There is some fine guitar work on display here as well. Thrash fans of old, that need something new to listen to, you will definitely want to give this one a listen straight away. This is only for old school thrash maniacs, all others need not apply.

A magnificent bridge-like construction, Alunas three static rings
geometrically represent the time cycles of Alunatime.
Measuring approximately forty metres wide and five storeys high, the cantilevered
superstructure has a skeleton of steel and is clad in translucent curved
Underneath the glass lies a matrix of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) providing
the illumination for the three rings. The LEDs are powered directly by
renewable energy harnessed from the tides using on-site turbine technology.
Facing South, Aluna is aligned with the polar coordinates and is perfectly
placed to follow the movements of the Moon as it crosses the sky. The
keystone of the superstructure is the Lunar Day ring. Half above ground
and half below, it represents the Moon above and below our horizon. With
the Lunar Day ring leaning towards the Equator Aluna is unique to its
geographic latitude, wherever it is situated on the globe.
The centre of Alunas rings will provide an inclusive, accessible
space between the land and the water, where people can spend contemplative
time out whilst learning about our environment.
This challenging cantilever superstructure will be realised by world-class
engineers in a way that is simple, practical, durable and cost effective.

James Corden pays emotional tribute to Manchester following attack
James Corden has shared an emotional tribute to Manchester on social media, following an attack at an Ariana Grande concert which has left 22 people dead.
Police say it was a suicide bomber.
"My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Manchester tonight," he said from the set of The Late Late Show.
"All of the staff at the MEN Arena, all of the security teams, all of the emergency services, Ariana and her team and all of those families affected by tonight."
Warning: Third party content, may contain adverts.
"We'll all go to bed holding our little ones even tighter this evening," James said.
His talk show airs to millions of people in the US and he used the video to explain to his audience what the city of Manchester is like.
"Many of you won't have ever been to Manchester but you will definitely have heard of it," he said.
"It's famous all over the world for so many wonderful things, great football teams, Manchester City, Manchester United.
"It's famous for incredible music, Oasis and Joy Division.
"It was the birthplace of the leader of the Suffragettes. It's the home of the inventor of the first computer."
He added: "When I think of Manchester, of the place that I know, I think of the spirit of the people there and I'm telling you, a more tight-knit group of people, you will be hard-pressed to find."
The blast happened at 22:35 on Monday at the end of a concert by US singer Ariana Grande.
Greater Manchester Police said the lone male attacker, who died in the blast, was carrying an improvised explosive device which he detonated.
Relatives are using social media to hunt for missing loved ones.
Police have set up an emergency telephone number in response to the attack. It is: 0161 856 9400.

A case study using the round-trip strategy for state-based class testing
A number of strategies have been proposed for state-based class testing. An important proposal made by Chow (1978), that was subsequently adapted by Binder (1999), consists in deriving test sequences covering all round-trip paths in a finite state machine (FSMs). Based on a number of (rather strong) assumptions, and for traditional FSMs, it can be demonstrated that all operation and transfer errors in the implementation can be uncovered. Through experimentation, this paper investigates this strategy when used in the context of UML statecharts. Based on a set of mutation operators proposed for object-oriented code we seed a significant number of faults in an implementation of a specific container class. We then investigate the effectiveness of four test teams at uncovering faults, based on the round-trip path strategy, and analyze the faults that seem to be difficult to detect. Our main conclusion is that the round-trip path strategy is reasonably effective at detecting faults (87% average as opposed to 69% for size-equivalent, random test cases) but that a significant number of faults can only exhibit a high detection probability by augmenting the round-trip strategy with a traditional black-box strategy such as category-partition testing. This increases the number of test cases to run -and therefore the cost of testing- and a cost-benefit analysis weighting the increase of testing effort and the likely gain in fault detection is necessary.

The event included a resume workshop and three rounds of mock interviews. The students were enthusiastic and appreciative. The adults thought the students were "awesome" and "impressive". In fact, five students were invited to interviews at the Brooklyn Navy Yards and three of these were offered positions!
This was a great experience for the students and the adults, and helped to build upon and build anew relationships between GSN, the professionals and their organizations. Most importantly, it provided students with meaningful experiences and opportunities.
Brooklyn Generation School Student Awarded Scholarship to College of Choice
As you read a few weeks ago, students and parents from Brooklyn Generation School visited a range of colleges. We are glad to give this update on one of the students who participated in that college tour!
Andrew originally planned to attend another SUNY school, but when he visited Daemen College in Buffalo, he discovered he liked the campus and the programs they offered. He was able to talk with an admissions officer while on the campus, and asked to apply even though he thought it might be too late to do so. Not only did he apply, but he was accepted. Not only was he accepted, he recently found out that he received a significant scholarship and financial aide package to attend!
Generation Schools Network is also supporting the recruitment of an AmeriCorps member to be part of the Community Schools effort at Brooklyn Generation School.

I'm writing an UDO to conduct user-defined aggregations. I know that every instance executes the execute() function locally, and they generate local results for example a partial of a chunk. The problem is how can I merge partial chunks from different instances to generate complete chunks after aggregation.
I found it in Aggregator.h that redistributeToRandomAccess(input, defaultPartitioning(), ArrayResPtr(), query, _aggs) can merge partial intermediate aggregate results into complete chunks. However, the aggregation function in our UDO is not defined in existing SciDB aggregation functions.
Also, I tried to write a chunkMerger class based on AggregateChunkMerger class in Aggregate.cpp. But it turns out that some partial chunk data in some instances have not written to the result array.
Any better suggestions?
How to merge partial chunks from different instances?
Hi - there are several ways to do it. If you are OK with sending everything to a single instance to merge it, and you want to build something quickly - I would use streaming:
If your partial chunks could be large and you want to build things at the C++ level - I would read these two operators:
Faster_redimension is, well, faster. But it is also more experimental in the way it uses SG and we are still testing some edge cases related to it.
Thanks a lot for your quick reply!
Actually, I am writing the UDO using C++, so I read the two operators you recommended to me.
It seems that both of the two operators can't solve my problem very well. Maybe I should explain my problem in details.
My operator conducts aggregation by chunk unit in a bottom-up style. For instance, if inputArray<val: double> [x=1:16,4,0,y=1:16,4,0], then parentArrayval:double[x=1:4,4,0,y=1:4,4,0], where chunk size is 4*4.
Moreover, the final output array contains only 1 root cell, i.e., outputArray<val: double> [x=1:1,4,0,y=1:1,4,0]. If there're 16 instances, every instance contains 1 chunk of the inputArray. After the first aggregation, every instance generates a cell of the parentArray as well as the remained cells with null values. What I expect to do is to merge those partial data of each instance to complete chunks and then redistribute them to random access to conduct further aggregations.
However, the grouped_aggregate operator generates an output array, which changes the dimensions of the input array by adding dimensions of instance_id and value_no. While I expect the schema of output array is the same with the input array except changing the length of dimensions.
The faster_dimension operator scans the input array to tuples and then transfers them to output array. It seems a little complicated to implement my operator in this way.
Is there any efficient way for me to do this?
Ah I see.
So it looks essentially like a double regrid. The first step is similar to this:
$ iquery -anq "store(build(<val:double>[x=1:16,4,0,y=1:16,4,0], (x-1)*16+(y-1)), foo)"
Query was executed successfully
$ iquery -anq "store(regrid(foo, 4, 4, sum(val), count(val), 4, 4), bar)"
Query was executed successfully
$ iquery -aq "show(bar)"
{i} schema
{0} 'bar<val_sum:double,val_count:uint64> [x=1:4:0:4; y=1:4:0:4]'
$ iquery -aq "scan(bar)"
{x,y} val_sum,val_count
{1,1} 408,16
{1,2} 472,16
{1,3} 536,16
{1,4} 600,16
{2,1} 1432,16
{2,2} 1496,16
{2,3} 1560,16
{2,4} 1624,16
{3,1} 2456,16
{3,2} 2520,16
{3,3} 2584,16
{3,4} 2648,16
{4,1} 3480,16
{4,2} 3544,16
{4,3} 3608,16
{4,4} 3672,16
And then here's the second step:
$ iquery -aq "regrid(bar, 4,4, avg(val_sum), 1,1)"
{x,y} val_sum_avg
{1,1} 2040
Did I get that right?
Have you considered just using a UDA, instead of a UDO? Something like this:
If you do that, you would be able to just say
regrid(foo, 4, 4, my_aggregate(val))
Grouped aggregate can still be utilized. In fact, it's more general. But you just convert dimensions to attributes. You lose some dimensionality. It doesn't make a big difference if the intermediate result is only 4x4. Dont know how big the final result will be:
$ iquery -aq "grouped_aggregate(apply(foo, new_x, (x-1)/4+1, new_y, (y-1)/4+1), avg(val), new_x, new_y)"
{instance_id,value_no} new_x,new_y,val_avg
{0,0} 1,1,25.5
{3,0} 2,2,93.5
{8,0} 2,1,89.5
{14,0} 2,4,101.5
{19,0} 4,3,225.5
{21,0} 1,3,33.5
{21,1} 1,4,37.5
{23,0} 3,2,157.5
{25,0} 4,4,229.5
{33,0} 3,4,165.5
{35,0} 4,2,221.5
{40,0} 2,3,97.5
{42,0} 3,3,161.5
{44,0} 1,2,29.5
{46,0} 4,1,217.5
{61,0} 3,1,153.5
Regrid probably is a more efficient approach however.
At any rate, I would try one of the following strategies:
- use a UDA if possible (simplest)
- if (1) doesn't work try to use grouped_aggregate (less simple)
- if (2) doesn't work try to go through the code and mimic what regrid does.
Hope that helps.
Thanks very much for giving me these solutions.
Yes, the UDO I'm developing is very similar to regrid, but the output type is a more complex type defined by myself, such as a list of the struct as below:
struct grid
int64_t x;
int64_t y;
double val;
Actually, I tried the 3rd solution in the very beginning, and wrote the UDO in C++ based on regrid and Aggregator.h.
However, problem comes back to the initial problem I asked, i.e., the redistributeToRandomAccess() step.
Since the aggregate method in my UDO has not been defined in existing SciDB aggregate functions.
I rewrote the redistributeToRandomAccess(input, defaultPartitioning(), ArrayResPtr(), query, _aggs) function to merge partial chunks to complete chunks, but the result lost some data. Maybe some part of my codes went wrong but I haven't figured out it.
Currently, my plan is to write a UDA as you suggested. In this way, it's possible to use the redistributeToRandomAccess() function without rewriting it, isn't it?
Also, is the UDA implementable if the output data type is a struct data?
I plan to convert struct data to strings, but drawback is the strings maybe very large. It seems I can write an User-Defined Types(UDTs) instead. I find some examples in the source code, but I'm not sure how to implement it. Is there any manuals like the readme file in exmaple_udos?
Look forward to your reply.
Problem solved by using a UDA as you suggested. Thanks a lot!
Just one more question, since I have to conduct multiple times of UDAs to generate a result array, I wrote a python script to do this, but it generates some intermediate arrays that do not necessary to be stored.
Is it more efficient to implement all those phases into one UDO? Are arrays generated in a UDO materialized or not? If they are not materialized, will they disappear during the execution of UDO?
Look forward to your reply.

Walker Racing from Lancaster to Cornwall for Alzheimer's
Here is this week's update from race-walker Robert Hardy. Hardy will be providing us with regular updates on his progress and marathon training. Here is what Hardy has to say:
Friday, August 24: Ultra marathoner David Merpaw had run from Hamilton to Montreal and back to Cornwall to raise funds for Alzheimer's Society completing 100-km a day.
I joined David in Lancaster and walker raced the final 25-km and a bit to the Alzheimer's office on Second Street West. For the final stretch from NAV Centre we were accompanied by a policeman on a motorcycle and that was very cool. My first ever police escort.
The only problem was there were no breaks because every time we approached a red light the policeman would drive his motorcycle into the intersections with lights flashing and claxon blaring and we would have to pick up the tempo to get through quickly and all four of our legs felt the pain. Mine were only 25 and bit km legs, David's were closing in on 1,000-km, or maybe more.
We both managed a final effort and arrived on time. I enjoyed the run and the company. David is an incredible athlete, our run together was a great experience for me and the reason for the run was Alzheimer's. What better reason.
Why me? Me mam died with Alzheimer's and I never forgot. How did this happen?
I met with David at the May 5th Walk for Alheimer's event at The Benson Centre in Cornwall. He discussed with me his plans for an ultra marathon run finishing in Cornwall. He asked if I would like to finish the final stretch from Lancaster to Cornwall and I said yes.
I was a guest speaker and walker runner at the event.
Alzheimer's and me. My first walker race for Alzheimer's was in January 2015. A Half Marathon 21.1-km walker race finished in 2 hrs and 55 minutes at The Civic Complex walking track, Cornwall.
Thursday, September 6th. My own 35-km time trial for Alzheimer's fundraiser at the Civic Complex, Cornwall walking track at 10 am. Come join me for a few laps or just make a donation.
If you can't make it to the event make a cheque payable to Alzheimer's Society. In the memo box write Bob Hardy's time trial. Mail to Alzheimer's Society of Cornwall and District, 106B Second Street West, Cornwall, Ont. K6A 1A5 or go online and make a donation.
This will be my second 35-km time trial for Alzheimer's. My first event was on July 30 at The Civic Complex walking track. I finished the 35-km, actual 34.8-km, 21 mile time trial in 4 hrs and 5 minutes.

Is it the same thing as saying I'm sorry? I believe we have, as a society, reduced forgiveness into a mere "I'm sorry". That is not what forgiveness is about! We do not ask forgiveness if we accidentally step on someone's toe. I mean we did not just sin did we? You only need to ask for forgiveness if you sin; either against God, yourself or someone else. Therefore we do not say "will you forgive me for stepping on your toes", we say "I'm sorry that I stepped on your toes", because you are sorry. You did not mean to do it, but in doing so, you did not sin against them. You just accidentally stepped on their toes.

What is Fearless Obedience
Obeying what you know to accomplish that which you do not know
Let's break this down, first what does fearless mean? I use to think it was the absence of fear or an unconcern for safety. In reality fearless is much different, the best definition I could find was "A calm resolute in facing your fears". Resolute can be interpreted as "Admirably purposeful, determined or unwavering". It means you know and recognize the dangers but face them headstrong. This leads to the question of how do you become fearless? Ironically fearlessness comes from obedience, therefore obedience to God helps us to become fearless because we know that we will have what He said we can have. Basically we know that He keeps His promises.
