3. "The Brit's face shares a heritage with a junkyard butt-sniffing mutt. It's a hard-earned moonshine mug, dotted with a hairy mole that looks like a rat's been gnawing on it. His beard looks like a white sneeze. The teeth are jagged and out of alignment, having opened quarts at Jiffy Quick Lube for half a decade."

"Now behind the eyes and secrets of the dreamers in the streets rocked to sleep by the sea, see the titbits and topsyturvies, bobs and buttontops, bags and bones, ash and rind and dandruff and nailparings, saliva and snowflakes and moulted feathers of dreams, the wrecks and sprats and shells and fishbones, whale-juice and moonshine and small salt fry dished up by the hidden sea."

7. "After all, what is it?- this indescribable something which men will persist in terming "genius"? I agree with Buffon- with Hogarth- it is but diligence after all.Look at me!- how I labored- how I toiled- how I wrote! Ye Gods, did I not write? I knew not the word "ease." By day I adhered to my desk, and at night, a pale student, I consumed the midnight oil. You should have seen me- you should. I leaned to the right. I leaned to the left. I sat forward. I sat backward. I sat tete baissee (as they have it in the Kickapoo), bowing my head close to the alabaster page. And, through all, I- wrote. Through joy and through sorrow, I-wrote. Through hunger and through thirst, I-wrote. Through good report and through ill report- I wrote. Through sunshine and through moonshine, I-wrote. What I wrote it is unnecessary to say. The style!- that was the thing. I caught it from Fatquack- whizz!- fizz!- and I am giving you a specimen of it now."

Author: Fernando Pessoa

9. "Every trace of the passionate plumage of the cloudy sunset had been swept away, and a naked moon stood in a naked sky. The moon was so strong and full, that (by a paradox often to be noticed) it seemed like a weaker sun. It gave, not the sense of bright moonshine, but rather of a dead daylight."
Author: G.K. Chesterton

10. "About midnight excited hails were heard from a boat about a couple of miles out at sea to the southeast of Sidmouth, and a lantern was seen waving in a strange manner to and fro and up and down. The nearer boats at once hurried towards the alarm. The adventuresome occupants of the boat, a seaman, a curate, and two schoolboys, had actually seen the monsters passing under their boat. The creatures, it seems, like most deep-sea organisms, were phosphorescent, and they had been floating, five fathoms deep or so, like creatures of moonshine through the blackness of the water, their tentacles retracted and as if asleep, rolling over and over, and moving slowly in a wedge-like formation towards the southeast.("The Sea Raiders")"

12. "All I say is that I think it is damned unlikely that anything like a central cosmic will, a spirit world, or an eternal survival of personality exist. They are the most preposterous and unjustified of all the guesses which can be made about the universe, and I am not enough of a hair-splitter to pretend that I don't regard them as arrant and negligible moonshine. In theory I am an agnostic, but pending the appearance of radical evidence I must be classed, practically and provisionally, as an atheist."

13. "You! You tricked me! I never want to see you or that bottle of liquid arsenic again!"I chucked the empty moonshine jug at him. Or tried to. It missed him by a dozen feet.He picked it up in astonishment. "You drank the whole bloody thing? You were only supposed to have a few sips!""Did you say that? Did you?" He reached me just as I felt the ground tip. "Didn't say anything. I've got those names, so that's all that matters, but you men…you're all alike. Alive, dead, undead—all perverts! I had a drunken pervert in my pants! Do you know how unsanitary that is?"Bones held me upright. I would have protested, but I couldn't remember how to. "What are you saying?""Winston poltergeisted my panties, that's what!" I announced with a loud hiccup."Why, you scurvy, lecherous spook!" Bones yelled in the direction of the cemetery. "If my pipes still worked, I'd go right back there and piss on your grave!"

14. "What's the idea with Moonshine joining the team?"Cate leaned forward. "It's politics, Connor," she said. "Pure politics. When Barbarro persuaded Molucco to loan us out, he insisted that Moonshine come, too. He's under the impression it will be character building for him!""Character building?" Connor exclaimed. "Are you sure that Barbarro isn't secretly hoping a Vampirate will do us all a favor and finish him off?"Bart laughed."

16. "Just to love! She did not ask to be loved. It was rapture enough just to sit there beside him in silence, alone in the summer night in the white splendor of moonshine, with the wind blowing down on them out of the pine woods."

17. "He smiled his shy smile at her as he went into the yard. Anne took the memory of it with her when she went to her room that night and sat for a long while at her open window, thinking of the past and dreaming of the future. Outside the Snow Queen was mistily white in the moonshine; the frogs were singing in the marsh beyond Orchard Slope. Anne always remembered the silvery, peaceful beauty and fragrant calm of that night. It was the last night before sorrow touched her life; and no life is ever quite the same again when once that cold, sanctifying touch has been laid upon it."

19. "Increase of knowledge only discovered to me more clearly what a wretched outcast I was. I cherished hope, it is true, but it vanished when I beheld my person reflected in water or my shadow in the moonshine, even as that frail image and that inconstant shade."
Author: Mary Shelley
Author: Mary Shelley
20. "But there is an influence in the light of the morning that tends to rectify whatever errors of fancy, or even of judgment, we may have incurred during the sun's decline, or among the shadows of the night, or in the less wholesome glow of moonshine."
Author: Nathaniel Hawthorne

21. "When the last moonshiner buys his radio,And the last, lost, wild-rabbit of a girlIs civilized with a mail-order dress,Something will pass that was AmericanAnd all the movies will not bring it back."

22. "In reading, one should notice and fondle details. There is nothing wrong about the moonshine of generalization when it comes after the sunny trifles of the book have been lovingly collected. If one begins with a readymade generalization, one begins at the wrong end and travels away from the book before one has started to understand it. Nothing is more boring or more unfair to the author than starting to read, say, Madame Bovary, with the preconceived notion that it is a denunciation of the bourgeoisie. We should always remember that the work of art is invariably the creation of a new world, so that the first thing we should do is to study that new world as closely as possible, approaching it as something brand new, having no obvious connection with the worlds we already know. When this new world has been closely studied, then and only then let us examine its links with other worlds, other branches of knowledge."
Author: Vladimir Nabokov

23. "I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell."

BIAFRA: We are prepared for you – Police warns IPOB
The Nigeria Police, Enugu and Anambra State Commands have warned pro-Biafra agitators against unlawful activities following the May 30 sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The state commands gave this warning in separate statements issued on Monday.
Speaking with newsmen ahead of the planned exercise, Anambra state Commissioner of Police, Samuel Okaula, said the police were battle ready for anyone who was out to take the law into his hands.
According to the police boss, "We have always been prepared for this type of situation but one thing remains clear, we want to assure the people of the state to go about their lawful duties and businesses.
"There is no cause for alarm and I can assure you that all the black spots have been taken care of.
"I don't expect anybody to prevent people from going about their lawful businesses. I will not allow anybody take laws into his hands. Anyone who does will definitely see the full wrath of the law," Okaula said.
The commissioner said the command was determined to maintain the security position of the state as the safest in the country.
"We have achieved a lot to contain crimes and criminalities for the people and business to thrive; we shall not allow these elements to set us back again."
On its part, the Enugu State Police Command has advised members of the public to disregard such order and go about their normal lawful business.
The command also urged law-abiding members of the public to watch out for any person or group of persons under any guise and who will come to intimidate, threaten or force them to shut down their offices or shops.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer, Ebere Amaraizu, the command in partnership with other sister security agencies and relevant bodies had put in place adequate machinery to fish out those in this habit and bring them to book.
He further advised those intending to carry out this unpatriotic and unlawful act to change from this "as the command working in partnership with other sister agencies in the state will not sit and fold its arms to see innocent and law abiding citizens of the state being molested or threatened by any person or group of persons."
Our Surce reports that IPOB had declared a sit-at-home on May 30 saying it was to remember those who lost their lives during the Nigerian Civil War.

The Foreign Secretary has announced the appointment of William Shawcross as his Special Representative on UK victims of Qadhafi-sponsored IRA terrorism. This follows discussions with UK Parliamentarians about how best the UK Government can support and facilitate the efforts of victims to obtain redress from the Libyan government.
William Shawcross was previously Chair of the Charity Commission and has a broad range of experience, including in human rights and a distinguished record in journalism stretching back more than 40 years.
Former Libyan leader Muammar Qadhafi supplied weapons, including Semtex explosives, to the IRA during the Troubles. The UK Government takes this issue extremely seriously and is committed to supporting the victims of Libyan-sponsored IRA terrorism. UK Ministers and diplomats in Libya continue to press the Libyan authorities to engage constructively with victims and their representatives.
More broadly the UK is actively engaged in efforts to support the UN-led political process in Libya, the objective of which is to facilitate agreement with Libyans on a more inclusive political settlement, which would be the best way of stabilising the country.
Middle East Minister Alistair Burt said:
It is excellent that William Shawcross has agreed to take on this important new role, which will help move us closer to resolving this pressing issue.
I am confident that William's appointment will bring greater focus to our efforts to support the victims of these terrible acts of terrorism.
As the Foreign Secretary's Special Representative on UK victims of Qadhafi-sponsored IRA terrorism, Mr Shawcross's role will be to help inform the government's approach to this issue. The precise terms of reference are being finalised, but among the issues Mr Shawcross will advise on is the amount of compensation that should be sought.
William Shawcross said:
I am honoured to be asked to undertake this hugely important challenge. The victims of the IRA terrorism sponsored by Qadhafi deserve all support for their efforts to obtain redress from the Libyan government.

Brampton Mayor's Defense of Muslim Prayer in Schools Angers Far Right American Pundits
You know you've done something right when your level-headed and rational defense of a long-standing school policy is torn apart by the far-right American commentariat.
Last week, Brampton Mayor Linda Jeffrey released a statement outlining her support for accommodating Muslim prayer in Peel schools and expressing concerns over what she called misinformation and hateful speech.
"I am alarmed by the recent misinformation and hateful speech surrounding the accommodation of Muslim prayers at the Peel District School Board," Jeffrey said in a statement. "Over the last two decades Muslim students, in schools across the Region of Peel, have been accommodated for Friday prayer. This is not something new."
The debate over the board's decision to allow Muslim students the option to use their own sermons during Friday prayers has been heated, with critics arguing that religion has no place in public schools at all.
While people are divided on the issue, Jeffrey has been firm in her opinion that the school board isn't doing anything unprecedented that unfairly favours Muslim students.
But while Jeffrey's statement sparked some local ire (there have been protests against the school board's policy), her words have somehow made it onto far-right websites such as Info Wars, The Daily Caller and The Gellar Report.
Shortly after Jeffrey released her statement, hyper-conservative U.S. pundit Pamela Geller challenged the sentiment on her website, rhetorically asking if the same privileges are awarded to Christian, Jewish and Hindu students.
"When are the Jewish prayers? The Christian prayers? The Hindu prayers? Of course, there aren't any," Geller wrote on The Geller Report. "Only Muslims get this kind of special accommodation. And any dissent will get you branded as a racist-islamophobic-anti-muslim-bigot. The bitter irony here is that in Islamic states, non-Muslims are never given this kind of accommodation. Linda Jeffrey may find that out before too long in Canada."
According to Geller's website, she's the founder, editor and publisher of The Geller Report and president of the American Freedom Defense Initiative and Stop Islamization of America. Her website also mentions that she's the author of The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America and Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance.
While it's certainly not uncommon for voices on the right to decry supposed Muslim favouritism or the perceived left-wing ignorance of the ever-potent and dangerous Islamic threat to local peace, it's always somewhat surprising when a local mayor's defense of a niche domestic policy to make it onto U.S. pundits' radar. Although far-right media outlets in Canada, the U.S. and beyond have often taken umbrage with all aspects of Islam, nationalist rhetoric has hit something of a fever-pitch in recent months.
Interestingly enough, the issue of Muslim prayer in schools—or rather, the school board's recent decision to allow students to say prayers of their choosing rather than ones pre-selected by the board—is, in the end, a small one.
As Jeffrey pointed out in her statement, the Ontario Human Rights Code mandates religious accommodation and this concession (if you even want to call it that) is a minor one.
"Our city and region have a proud history of upholding religious accommodations at our public schools. Whether it is protecting the right of religious dress, like a Sikh student's kirpan and turban, or accommodating a vegetarian/kosher/halal religious dietary restriction at a school event, we proudly stand for our Charter rights protecting religious freedom."
While some local protestors have argued that religion has no place in public schools at all, others have focused more on conjecture and "what ifs."
What if, some protestors argue, the students secretly pray for the death of all western deviants in Arabic during prayer time?
Neither the mayor or the school board are giving the notion much credence.
"I am troubled by the misinformation, fear mongering, and outright falsehoods being spread by some," Jeffrey said. "Peel is one of the most diverse regions in Canada. We not only cherish diversity, we celebrate it. It is our strength, the very essence of our Region's character."
On that note, the mayor is right. Brampton is one of the country's most diverse cities and, like its other GTA counterparts, its multi-culturalism has worked.
While visible minorities have no doubt experienced racism in the city, the multicultural landscape of Brampton makes residents — younger ones in particular — less fearful of some great foreign "unknown." We've grown up with diversity and the idea of disparate but coexisting cultures isn't new — the GTA is, in many ways, defined by that very coexistence. Cities like Toronto, Brampton and Mississauga have incredible layers and pockets that celebrate and represent the global fabric of the cities. We have Chinatowns and Little India's and Italy's. We have Koreatowns and Middle Eastern garment stores and Polish and Ukrainian community centers.
We're an example of multi-culturalism working — and working well.
We function well because of our openness, our tolerance and our lack of fear. When Muslims come to Brampton, they aren't confined to ghettos, treated with distrust by residents and authority figures and isolated by abrasive and discontented stares.
Discrimination can and does happen — but not as frequently as it might in more homogenized communities. Our city's treatment of newcomers neutralizes the feelings of hopelessness and alienation that might drive a depressed or frustrated person into the embrace of extremism. Extremist organizations like ISIS/ISIL work because they don't just instill terror in recruits or promise a spectacular afterlife (although they do both of those things) — they extend a hand first. They promise everything from prosperity to recognition to a sense of belonging. They ask people to die or kill for a cause that unites them with a greater, broader community. Sure, they appeal to goons and violent zealots, but they also appeal to the displaced and disaffected. The lonely. The angry. The ignorant.
Our values make us special. They're shared by so many, including the Muslims who live, work and play in Brampton. They're not only positive, they're protective — Canada has been spared so much of the tension plaguing Europe because it's adopted and enacted a fair, careful and intelligent immigration process.
Here's hoping the more hysterical aspects of the school debate die down in time.
As for far-right pundits worries about the fate of Canada, its future will speak for itself.
And it doesn't look like it will be a dark one.

No electric mixer or fancy pizza dough hook needed for this Quick and Easy Pizza Dough. Mix everything in one bowl, let rise for an hour, knead 1-2 times, and that's it! Makes 1 large pizza, cut in half for 2 medium pizzas, or quarter it for individual pizzas. Foolproof homemade pizza crust every time!
I went from being terrified of yeast, to getting my feet wet with the Cheese Zombies, to completely obsessed with pizza dough.
A couple of years ago, Paul bought me a baking steel and these fun dice for my birthday last month >> which, btw, was clearly just as much a present for him, as it was for me!
I don't think, however, he knew how much pizza he was about to eat from now until eternity. Or until I get fixated on something else.
After many articles and recipes, I fell in love with this basic and easy pizza dough. Sometimes I go through a batch a week!
What Makes This Quick Pizza Dough So Great
- It's so incredibly easy to make – it doesn't require any special equipment or dough hook, and there's barely any kneading. You just need a couple bowls and patience while it rises!
- You can make this pizza dough ahead of time. Keep it in the fridge for a couple days or pop it in the freezer for a couple months.
- It's a straightforward simple recipe that you can customize however you like.
Tips for Turning This Quick Pizza Dough Into a Great Crust
- Use fresh yeast for the dough. You know the yeast is still good if it foams. If not, toss it and get a new batch.
- The dough needs to rise until it doubles in size. In the winter time, I like to place the bowl of dough on a heating pad to aid in the rising time.
- Don't go crazy on the toppings. I know, I know…it's hard to resist the urge. But the best pizza pies actually have fewer toppings.
- Bake your pizzas as hot as your oven will go (generally 500-550 degrees F.)
- Use a good, heavy, baking stone or steel. They hold tons of heat energy, releasing it quickly into a pizza as it bakes, giving it a crispier crust.
Recipe Variations
- Feel free to replace the olive oil with any mild-tasting oil such as avocado or canola
- Give a little garlicky flavor to this crust by adding in a teaspoon of garlic powder with the flour.
Spread some of our favorite sauces on it!

How To Make This Quick Pizza Dough Recipe
Quick and Easy Pizza Dough
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 2 packets (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil , plus more for bowl and drizzling
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for work surface
- Pour the water into a large bowl; sprinkle with yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, oil, and salt. Add flour and stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Lightly brush another large bowl with a little olive oil. Place dough inside and drizzle a little oil over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently knead 1 or 2 times, forming into a round. Let rest for about 10 more minutes.
- Use or store as is for 1 large pizza, or divide into 4 equal portions for individual pizzas.
- One packet of yeast contains 1/4 ounce or approximately 2 1/4 teaspoons, so you would need 4 1/2 teaspoons for this recipe.
- If the yeast doesn't foam, it isn't good anymore.
- In the winter time, I like to place the bowl of dough on a heating pad to aid in the rising time.
- Dough will keep in the refrigerator for 3 days or in the freezer for 2 months.
- To freeze, allow the dough to completely finish rising, cover in plastic wrap and then place in a resealable freezer bag. (Divide in half or in quarters before freezing.)
- Suggestion on cooking: with a pizza stone in the oven, preheat to 500-550 degrees F for at least 30 minutes (preferably an hour.) Place dough on some lightly floured parchment paper; starting at the center and working outwards, use your fingertips to press the dough to 1/2-inch thick round. You can pinch the very edges if you want to form a lip. Transfer parchment with the flattened dough to a peel or baking sheet. Brush with a little olive oil, then your sauce and toppings (do not load up each pizza with a ton of toppings as the crust won't end up crispy that way.) Slide the pizza, along with the parchment, off of the peel and onto the baking stone in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, until the crust is browned and the cheese is golden, then sprinkle a little more cheese and bake for another 2 minutes until melted.
- This is the pizza steel I use (affil)

What's important when you run a bouncy castle business? Here's what we think.
First of all ….Children's parties should be fun, and the arranging of the party should be easy and a nice experience. There's enough stress involved without awkward bookings of halls and entertainment. Curtesy costs nothing, and helping others make you feel good, so for us, the booking experience should the best it can be. Fortunately, here in the Forest of Dean most of the halls and bouncy castle hirers provide this.
The second thing is to be informative and punctual. Keeping customers informed every step of the way makes them feel secure, therefore forming a trust. There's nothing worse than worrying about your bouncy castle turning up, after all, it's your little one's big day. Turning up on time is important too. I must admit that once I thought we had a party booked for 12pm, and it turned out to be 10pm!! ….as you can imagine, I was distraught when I realised what I had done. So I turned up late (about half an hour after the party had started) ready to take one on the chin from the dad!! Or the mum for that matter. As it happens they were really good about it. I gave them a huge discount and let them keep the equipment for longer. I double and treble check everything in the diary now!!!
Finally, listen to your customers and never take offence if they criticise any aspect of your service. We have been very fortunate to receive heaps of praise, but constructive criticism is also very welcome as it allows you to improve in areas you might not have thought of. At the end of the day, your customers are the single most important part of your business. Without them you have nothing.

Invisible decrease. YES! If you make amigurumi, it's definitely worth doing. It makes the gap from sc2tog go away completely, which always kind of bothered me and I didn't realize I could do anything about it.
But I can!!!
PlanetJune has excellent written directions on how to do it. I learn better by reading than I do by video, but I know there are videos on Youtube on how to do it- just look up "invisible decrease."

ESPN must evolve beyond TV, and still has time to do it
Disney reported a slight earnings and revenue beat Tuesday, on the strength of its recent hit films "Captain America: Civil War" and "Finding Dory." Earnings came in at $1.62 per share (a cent better than analyst expectations of $1.61) and revenue was $14.278 billion (vs. expectations of $14.15 billion).
The stock fell anyway, down 1.3% after hours. It's down 11% in the past year, but up a nice 7% in the past six months.
Regardless of Disney's success in movie theaters, the focus every quarter now is on ESPN, which has been something of a dark cloud over Cinderella Castle for just over a year.
This time around, ESPN did well. The network is part of Disney's cable networks division and accounts for more than half of the division's revenue, and that revenue was up 1% in the third quarter to $4.2 billion. The division's operating income also rose 1% to $2.1 billion. Disney pointed specifically to ESPN as the source, adding that other parts of the cable networks division, not ESPN, held the division back from even better growth.
"The increase in operating income was due to growth at ESPN, partially offset by a decrease at the Disney Channels, lower equity income from A&E and lower Freeform results," it said in a press release. "The increase at ESPN was due to affiliate and advertising revenue growth, partially offset by higher programming costs. Affiliate revenue growth was due to contractual rate increases, partially offset by a decline in subscribers and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation."
The key phrase there is "decline in subscribers." ESPN's growth this quarter was thanks to ad rate increases that were built in to its contracts—contracts that are set to end soon. (Cablevision renews in 2017, Time Warner in 2019.) It masks the fact that subscribers dipped yet again—and that is what many will latch onto to spur the narrative that ESPN is in a death spiral.
It's a misleading narrative.
Yes, ESPN is slowly hemorrhaging subscribers. According to August estimates from Nielsen, the network was in 90.98 million homes in February, and is now in 88.78 million. Yes, cord-cutters and so-called "cord-nevers" (people who never had a cable subscription to begin with) are hurting premium networks like ESPN. But ESPN isn't vanishing from the airwaves any time soon, and more importantly, it is ramping up its efforts in areas other than traditional television.
There is another false sub-narrative that ESPN's subscriber decline is because the network has shifted to the left politically, as evidenced by ESPN and ABC broadcasting a "race relations town hall" with President Obama last month, and by ESPN firing analyst Curt Schilling over social media posts. But the decline isn't about politics. ESPN isn't losing subscribers because of anything it's done wrong or failed to do right, it is losing subscribers because of the overall decreasing appetite for sports content on television. Its closest competitor, Fox Sports 1 (FS1), part of the same company that houses conservative-leaning Fox News Channel, is being hit just as hard by the shift: FS1 dropped from 84.16 million households in February to 82.70 million this month, according to Nielsen. And FS1 only just launched in 2013.
In recent months, Disney CEO Bob Iger has indicated, in interviews with The Hollywood Reporter and CNBC, that he can see a time when ESPN might offer a standalone product without a cable subscription. He'd better be able to see it. If he can't see it, the network is doomed.
That time won't be tomorrow, or next week, or next month, but it could certainly be next year, or in the next five years. "Is it inevitable that ESPN will have a more direct consumer product in the marketplace? Yes," he told THR. "What that product is, to what extent it mirrors the product they have now… I can't get into those details. I don't think it's safe to assume ESPN is going to take the product it has now and immediately take it over the top like HBO did."
For now, ESPN has taken a number of smart steps recently to lay a foundation for a digital future. Could it be doing even more? Certainly. It must plan for life after cable television. It must expect cord-cutting to increase, rather than just prepare for it. But it has done quite a lot: It struck a deal with Dish Network to put ESPN on Sling TV; it struck a deal with Chinese Internet giant Tencent to reach Chinese consumers on their smartphones; it allowed a march of expensive, legacy on-camera talent to walk out the door, cutting costs and potentially making room for more diversity; it has made great strides growing its female audience on ESPN Radio, and just this week announced an ambitious, 16-part narrative podcast series.
And its biggest digital step of all is a 33% equity stake in BAM Tech, the white-label video-streaming business recently spun off from MLB Advanced Media ("BAM"), which has been insanely successful and now powers digital video for the likes of HBO Now and Glenn Beck's network The Blaze. Consider that MLB's tech arm is so effective that a completely different sports league, the NHL, gave it the keys to its digital kingdom; now Disney has a piece of that powerful business. Disney will pay $1 billion, in two installments, for its slice of BAM Tech, which boasts a total 7.5 million paying subscribers on its clients' over-the-top video platforms.
Disney's press release reveals that the result of the MLBAM stake will be "a new ESPN-branded multisport subscription streaming service in the future," but that, "current content on ESPN's linear networks will not appear on the new subscription streaming service." That's a reminder that ESPN isn't ready to go fully digital (a la HBO offering a standalone iPad app, which is Iger's favored comparison) just yet. The phrase "in the future" is key. BAM Tech will be pivotal in whatever the streaming offering from ESPN is, and whenever it comes.
As an August 1 UBS note on Disney explains cogently, Disney bulls believe the company's cable networks division "will still see modest growth" in part thanks to "int'l growth (Disney Channels and ESPN), stable ESPN affiliate revenue growth of 3.5% until new renewals kick in (CVC in '17, TWC in '19), and low cable programming cost increases from FY18-FY21." Disney bears think the company is in trouble because of "skinny bundle risk to high fixed-cost ESPN." But either way, the answer will take a while longer to reveal itself.
There's a classic line in the 1988 Wes Craven horror film The Serpent and the Rainbow, uttered by Bill Pullman: "Don't let them bury me; I'm not dead yet." It's true of ESPN. Iger put it simply on CNBC: "While the business model may face challenges over the next few years, long term for ESPN… they'll be fine."

Happy New Year everyone.
A bit more personal than normal as sometimes it is good to get things on the record.
We bought the Clew a few years ago knowing it was probably too small for more than just the two of us. This prompted us to purchase the Bell over a year ago and since then we have been slaving away getting her back into shape.
The reason we needed a bigger boat is not only for the considerable comfort factor for the two of us but also for sleeping accommodations when we add to the family.
Since Lori obtained her Bachelors Degree we have been in the hunt for children. At first we were pretty relaxed about it but after a few years we started to worry. Just as we were looking into things physically Lori was diagnosed with cancer and at that point survival was the concern and children took a back seat.
Lori licked the cancer and during her chemo we took adoption classes. 10 weeks of courses that are pretty depressing but enlightening as far as what they reveal about the human condition.
Last summer we even had a potential match with a little girl. She was sweet but for reasons we will not discuss the match did not work. Truly heartbreaking.
We are still looking to adopt, even attending a matching event last November. There are a lot of kids out there that need a home.
On a Friday in the first week of November I had a dream. No big deal but for this one being a bit different.
I had the day off as I had worked the last Sunday. (I work a lot of weekends) Lori had a scheduled blood test we were feeling pretty pessimistic. It is an routine we have grown accustomed too over the past years.
We got up, dressed and headed over to Quest and Lori donated some more blood to the cause. We then went to breakfast. I did not share my dream with her and have to admit we were both a bit snippy with each other.
Lori called Quest at noon and found out they had screwed things up and we would not be getting results until almost the end of the day. No surprise as we had dealt with Quest with Lori's cancer and such and they screw things up quite often. As we were heading home we picked up one of those quick at home tests.
Once at home Lori took the test, the conversation as we did it went along the lines of "well, this is not morning urine so will probably not work anyway." "I can't believe Quest." "We should have bought two as these things are junk." all to prepare for the negative results we just knew were coming.
"Hold on, that shows positive." " Crap, we really should have bought two……"
We did not get the results from Quest to confirm it until a few days later.
Now we are into our second tri and things are going swimmingly.
All of the latest tests come back great. Our little girl shows to be genetically normal and developing as well as can be expected.
She is expected to arrive in early July.
That Dream
About that dream. Most of the time I dream very little, but this one was vivid, almost as if we were there.
I was making my way aft from the head/Vberth area holding onto the handrail in the cabin as there was quite a bit of motion, Lori was in the galley making sandwiches, the companionway was open and a 10 to 12 year old red headed girl was telling Lori what she wanted on her sandwich as she ran the boat from the cockpit.
Make of it what you will. The wishful thinking of a frustrated man? A promise? Just a dream?
Well, that is is for me today. I think I will go out to the garage and work on rebuilding the transmission on our Atomic4 now.

What is a 'house in multiple occupation' (HMO)?
The definition of what is an HMO is given in the Housing Act 2004.
Premises classed as HMOs are:
A household is generally taken to mean a single person, cohabiting partners or people living together who are members of the same family. There are circumstances where people will be regarded as a single family where they are not related, for example where accommodation is provided for a carer, au pair, nanny etc. Two unrelated persons sharing a flat or house would not constitute an HMO.
To be classed as an HMO the property must be used as the tenants only or main residence. Properties let to students and migrant workers will be treated as being their only or main residence, as would properties used as domestic refuges and hostels.
Does my HMO require a licence?
The Council operates a Mandatory HMO licensing scheme. Most* landlords of HMOs that have five or more occupiers forming two or more households require a licence. This previously only applied to properties with three or more stories (including habitable basements and attics) but from 1 October 2018 HMOs with five or more occupiers forming two or more households regardless of the number of storeys will be subject to HMO licensing. This means that:
If you own or manage an HMO that meets the new criteria for mandatory licensing you must apply for a licence before 1 October 2018. Landlords who fail to apply for a licence by 1 October 2018 will be committing an offence from that date.
If you own or manage an HMO which fell under the previous requirements for HMO licensing and you do not currently hold a licence you are already committing an offence and you must apply immediately.
Failing to licence a property is a criminal offence which, on conviction, may lead to an unlimited fine or a civil penalty of up to £30,000. You could also be subject to a Rent Repayment Order for the period that the property was unlicensed.
*There are some exemptions from licensing. For example properties managed by Local Authorities and Registered Housing Providers such as Housing Associations do not require a licence.
Applications for licenses must be accompanied by the correct fee: Mandatory HMO Licence Fees and Charges.
New HMO Licence Fees July 2018
You must renew your licence before the current one expires. Incomplete applications and applications not accompanied by the correct fee will not be accepted. Once a valid application is received, we will arrange an inspection of the property and then prepare a draft licence and a 'Proposal Notice'. There is a 21 day consultation period and if you disagree with any conditions on the draft licence you can make representation against the condition(s). If this happens we may amend the licence as requested or reject the representation.
We seek to consider valid applications for an HMO licence within 90 days of receiving all the relevant application information (including fee). If, due to the circumstances of an individual application, we are unable to consider the application within this time period we will notify the applicant and state what the extended time period will be.
The actual licence and a 'Decision Notice' is then issued. There is a further right of appeal to the First Tier Tribunal against conditions on the licence. This must be done within 28 days of the issuing of the Decision Notice.
An HMO licence will generally run for 5 years but we may issue a licence for a shorter period in some circumstances, for example if we have concerns over the management arrangements.
For further information in connection with licensing:
HMO licencing guide for landlords
From 1 October 2018 the following measures regarding minimum sizes for rooms used as sleeping accommodation will be included as mandatory licensing conditions:
Communal space in other parts of the HMO cannot be used to compensate for rooms smaller than the prescribed minimum. These mandatory room size conditions are the statutory minimum below which rooms cannot be used as sleeping accommodation and are not intended to be the optimal room size. Local Housing Authorities will continue to have discretion to set their own higher standards. For our space guidelines please refer to the DASH Amenity Guide for HMOs
Ashfield Council provide guidance and support through officers within the Private Sector Enforcement team who can allow some flexibility in certain circumstances on the room size as we as a Council aim to ensure that the quality of accommodation within the district is to a high standard which promotes positive health and well-being outcomes for the occupants and promote minimum room sizes of 8m² where applicable , please contact the team for advice on this matter , 01623 457345 or email email@example.com
The new licence conditions will also require landlords and agents to have appropriate arrangements in place for the storage and disposal of household waste.
If you would like to know more about how we administer HMO licensing within Ashfield Council , please email the Private Sector Enforcement Team at firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 01623 457345 .
Are there any regulations that cover the management of HMOs?
The Housing Management of Houses in Multiple Occupation (England) Regulations 2006 apply to all houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) other than Section 257 HMOs as these have their own, broadly similar, management regulations.
These regulations place a number of duties upon the manager of an HMO. Both landlords and managing agents should make sure they comply with these regulations at all times.
Failing to comply with the HMO management regulations may result in prosecution and an unlimited fine or a civil penalty of up to £30,000.
If you need more information about the management regulations please email the Private Sector Enforcement Team at firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 01623 457345 .
What about amenities and space in HMOs?
We require that all HMOs have adequate levels of amenities and space. The property must have rooms of sufficient size and have enough kitchen facilities, bathrooms and toilets for the number of people living there. View our Amenities and space guidance.
If you have any questions about amenities and space in HMOs please email the Private Sector Enforcement Team at firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 01623 457345 .
Smaller shared houses will usually be assessed as one unit but in bigger HMOs an HHSRS assessment will be carried out for each unit within the HMO. The common parts of an HMO such as the hall, staircases, landings and any shared rooms will be regarded as part of the living unit for the purposes of the assessment.
One of the most important hazards to be assessed in a bedsit type HMO is fire, as the risks are several times higher than in an ordinary family home. When enforcing fire safety standards in dwellings, the Housing Standards Team refer to the LACORS Housing - Fire Safety guide:
Advice for tenants about fire safety can be found in the Fire Safety leaflet below:
Fire Safety - Shared Accomodation
If you have any more questions about fire safety in HMOs please email the Private Sector Enforcement Team at email@example.com or phone 01623 457345 .

After screaming my lungs out at Six Flags St. Louis and munching on some incredible food downtown, Eric and I decided to wake up early to make the most of this awesome summer weather in St. Louis — although it's still a little humid and raining just a little today, I really have nothing to complain about!
Luckily for us, Eric had some bikes for us to ride around town and check out some of the awesome sights and sounds. If there's one thing I love more than running, it's biking! We rode from his place (just a little outside the downtown area) down to the Forest Park, around some lakes and right past the St. Louis Zoo. I really wanted to go check out the zoo for a bit, but Eric had some other plans in mind. He really wanted us to check out this place called Mama Toscano's.
Before we left the park, we rode past The Jewel Box which is this incredible display located right in the heart of Forest Park. It's recognized as one of the most "outstanding examples of greenhouse design" according to one of the signs outside of it. The glass walls of the Jewel Box must have been at least fifty feet high and, as I understand it, the structure had just been renovated. It was beautiful! Very happy we decided to stop and take a look.
Eric and I traveled out of the park and made our way towards the restaurant. Good timing too, because I was getting pretty hungry and thirsty from all the bike riding we were doing. As soon as we walked into Mama Toscano's I knew I was in for a treat. Just the smell alone had me sold! I took a look at the menu and without a second guess I knew I was getting the toasted ravioli. Eric (and hundreds of other Yelp reviewers) noted that this place was the absolute best for toasted ravioli, and I can tell you right now this place lives up to the hype. Incredible. Hands down some of the best Italian food I've ever had.
After decompressing and walking around after an incredible meal, Eric and I found ourselves inching closer and closer to the Gateway Arch and Busch Stadium where the St. Louis Cardinals play. I looked at Eric and without saying anything we both hopped on our bikes and gunned it towards the stadium. Luckily for us, they had a ton of extra seats for the game against the Pirates so we bought two, parked our bikes, and headed in!

The legal team of Governor Rauf Aregbesola on Tuesday, continued vetting, sorting and verification of Certified True Copies (CTCs) of documents which Senator Iyiola Omisore was seeking to tender before the Justice Elizabeth Ikpejime-led Election Petition Tribunal.
Tuesday's sitting became the second out of fourteen days allowed in the pre-trial session report for the Senator Omisore to maintain his petition before the Tribunal.
As early as 9 am when lawyers from both sides arrived the Osogbo High Court venue of the Tribunal to begin the exercises in earnest with a view to going through all the 17 Local Governments challenged by Omisore in his petition.
The Tribunal had allowed the exercise to go ahead based on the consent of all the parties when they conveyed their decision to members of the panel on Monday.
Mr. Kemi Pinheiro, SAN, was later joined by Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, and later Mr. Femi Falana, SAN, Dr. Alex Izinyon, SAN led Chief Titus Ashaolu, SAN and Nathaniel Oke, SAN for Omisore.
Two leading silks, Chiefs Akin Olujinmi and Oluwarotimi Akeredolu later arrived to join the legal team of Governor Aregbesola.
The silks were assisted by a battery of lawyers from both sides as each of the certified true copies of the result for individual polling unit was brought out by Omisore's legal team and verified by those of Governor Aregbesola.
The exercise which was typified by lighter moments and exchange of banters between petitioners and respondents lawyers moved rapidly to Ola-Oluwa Local Government at the time of filling this report.
The Tribunal was expected to sit later on Tuesday afternoon to hear the report of the exercise after which the documents already consented to by the respondents could be tendered by the petitioners from the bar.
Security arrangement was tighter at the sitting yesterday as only lawyers and journalists were allowed to come to the Tribunal while politicians were kept at bay.
It was learnt that the instruction to maintain tighter security arrangement arose from a directive issued by the Tribunal through the registrars.
Anti-bomb and metal detectors were deployed at the Tribunal venue yesterday by a special police unit with which cars were screened while lawyers were made to go through metal detector screening.

letter had the effect to send a confidential agent of the Government to the meeting for the purpose of watching the movements of parties there.
In consequence of the exertions of loyal men of our county, and the suspicion attached to certain party movements, the meeting passed off with no other effect than the collection together of a considerable number of the worst secessionists of our county, and the passage of resolutions not positively disloyal, but bordering on it in part, and strongly anti-emancipation in sentiment. For any positive influence it was an abortion.
I trust you will pardon my using this matter as an introduction to another subject which I consider greatly concerns the peace and welfare of our State.. I allude to the recent act of the Missouri Legislature for exemption from military duty of all persons who wish it, for the sum of $30. Immediately previous to the passage of this act, as you are aware, orders were issued for drafting into immediate service several regiments of the State militia. Under this order, about 200 men of this county had been enrolled and organized for immediate duty, and the officers have been making their arrangements for immediate service. Of the number drafted for duty from this county, there were three companies, commanded by as many captains. This day one of the captains informed me that he did not believe a dozen men in the county would comply with the draft, and that all would pay the commutation penalty and be released. I am fully persuaded such will be the case, and that the same state of facts will exist all over the State. If this be the case, and another uprising of rebels in the State be meditated, as it is generally another uprising of rebels in the State be meditated as it is generally believed there will be in certain contingencies, our State will be wholly dependent on the United States troops and volunteers for defense. If they were sufficiently numerous to defend the State and suppress disloyal collections of troops at all points, I do not know that the absence of the militia would be a subject for regret; but I think there is very great danger that the rebels, numerous, determined, and vindictive in our State, may seize on the occasion of a real hiatus in our military strength to do much mischief at least. I do not presume to doubt that you are more fully posted as to all apparent movements of the traitors in our State, and as to the actual condition of our State militia, than I possibly can be; but as to the disposition of the militia in the present attitude of State affairs, I have supposed it would be of interest to you to be advised as far as practicable.
Our county (Pike) is believed, I think justly, too, to be the most loyal county in the State; but no one wishes to undergo the fatigues and hardships of military life, when the prospect of pay is so poor as that of our militia. My opinion is very decided that we shall soon have no militia force or organization in the State except those in the service of the United States, and that various causes are combining to encourage new risings and raids of rebels in the State.
Excuse the liberty I have taken in throwing out these suggestions, in the hope that you may have the power, as you assuredly have the will, to apply a remedy, in the event of my apprehensions proving to be well founded. I desire to call your attention to one other matter, perhaps of local rather than general interest, but still of general interest to the wife and family of John Q. Burbridge, a brigadier-general in the rebel army; to the wife and family of J. P. [P. S.] Senteny, a major in the rebel army; to the family of George O. Matthews a captain in the rebel army, and various privates in that army. Ever since the rebellion commenced

Nasty Juice ASAP Grape - 50 ml Shortfill E Liquid | Juicy Fog
ASAP Grape e liquid, from Malaysian manufacturer Nasty Juice, is a delicious combination of ripe and bitter black grapes, sweet and juicy summer berries and a subtle hint of icy menthol to top it off.
"Asap" is the Malaysian word for vapour so you could say that ASAP Grape literally means "grape vapour" and that is the perfect description for this juice. With Nasty Juice's ASAP Grape, there are none of the acrid, burnt aftertastes you get with many other grape flavoured e liquids. Once you start to vape, you'll notice that the dominant flavour is a slightly bitter but refreshing black grape note that's tempered by the layers of sweet summer berries and cool menthol. This delicious combination is so expertly blended that, for many, it has already earned that oh so elusive moniker of "All-Day-Vape".
No matter whether you're enjoying a drink outside in the hot summer sunshine or curled up on your couch with a nice hot drink in the winter; Nasty Juice's ASAP Grape is a delicious e liquid that you'll enjoy whatever the season.

... Showing.
Basically, I want you guys to get in the mindset that I had when I was heading into the pen, so listen to this little tune & accompanying video...
Most importantly the verse...
"His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, Mom's Spaghetti."
Okay... so I didn't really enter the ring like I was living in detroit, repped do-rags, rapped at night and sold drugs by day, but Myself and Rabbit (Eminem's character in 8 mile) do have something in common.
We happened to do a big 'ol choke.
So what happened?
Well... First things first... I walked into the herd with a fresh horse.
Wow... loper of the century over here, can't even lope my own horse.
Then I got into the herd & sort of... blacked out.
Basically I was going for a shape cut and realized as I began driving (way too many) cows up that I didn't exactly know how to shape cut.
Well, shit.
I got a cow infront of me and that cow took one look at me, turned tail and smashed past me at the wall, right back to the herd.
Well, shit.
My second cow was alright, and I got something done, but when I went to turn back to the herd my horse hung in the bridle and I grabbed the reins with my second hand.
Well, shit.
My third cow did something very similiar to my first cow.
Well, shit.
& I chipped one off the top for my last cow and got to work a little bit before I heard the buzzer go off.
My score?
A Solid 63.
I left the pen & every part of me was screaming:
But, a client and I were talking after and she said to me,
"The first time I showed, I fell off my horse in the pen. It was terrible. Somebody said to me then, 'Well, your first time showing is over and you'll never have to do it again.'"
& by golly she is right,
never. again.

Is it okay to be kind of relieved that Christmas is over for another year? Don't get me wrong - I LOVE Christmas and all it stands for but, after it's done, I'm quite happy to let it go until the next time.
I'm going to write a few things here so that, if I check next year, I won't forget.
I am a good cook but the Christmas Day turkey always gets the better of me. Yes, a lot of the stress is self-imposed but that doesn't make it any easier to handle.
Yesterday's turkey dilemmas started with ice. According to the radio, the turkey should have been defrosted in 5 hours. 15 hours after taking it out of the freezer there was still ice on and in it. I left it for another hour when we decided that it looked fine.
After giving it the package-advised 2 hours cooking, the meat thermometer was still 10º below where it should have been. After another half hour, the temperature was 5º lower than it had been half an hour earlier. What???? (BTW - I know the thermometer works so it wasn't that.)
I could feel my blood pressure rising by the minute. Stupid turkey. Why did we have it? Why didn't we just have chicken? Or mince and tatties??? Grumble, grumble, grumble.
After a lot of tears on my part - how ridiculous to allow a turkey to reduce me to a blubbering idiot!! - we decide to have just the trimmings and the chipolata sausages.
And we had plenty to eat. More than plenty as we had to leave pudding until about 8pm when we had room for it!
So, Anne, if you're reading this in 2010 - DO NOT BUY TURKEY!!!!!

Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year for everyone that works in hospitality. If you're one of the ones working through the holiday this year, it's worth checking out our tips on how to keep your festive spirits high (trust us – we like to think we know a thing or two about hospitality jobs).
Chances are you're going to be run off your feet a little during Christmas. This means you need lots of energy to keep yourself going. One of our own Associates found that sugar was key in helping him through the festive season:
"When I worked in hospitality at the London Eye, Christmas was naturally one of the busiest times, everything ran seamlessly Front of House, but only thanks to a great strong team. Sugar and caffeine helped! Our Hospitality Co-ordinators were great at keeping us topped up with sugary treats!
Whilst we all want to keep an eye of the waistlines over Christmas, with the extra calories you will be burning off in the crazy festive season you shouldn't be afraid of reaching for a handful of mince pies every now and then!
When you're working in hospitality you need to keep the customers happy, especially when it is the season to be jolly. However, don't forget it is your Christmas too! Make sure you treat yourself as a form of motivation! Whether it's a Christmas coffee on the way to work, a cheeky cocktail afterwards or a hot bubble bath to ease your weary limbs.
One thing is for sure, working through the Christmas period can turn a few of your colleagues into a scrooge. Don't be that person!! To create a good atmosphere in the workplace, we advise walking in Santa's footsteps and reward your team with some treats to keep the motivation high, whether it's mince pies or Christmas hats, giving makes a happy workplace.
If you're an employer why not bend the rules a little for those who are working hard this December? If you're working in the office allow your employees to play games like office cricket and desk table tennis during breaks or you could even let everyone bring in their dogs dressed as reindeer's to boost morale. Making the office environment fun helps reduce stress and as annoying as they are, Christmas tunes for the whole month does lift everyone's spirits wherever you work!
If you're planning on following tip number one and treating yourself to drinks and dinners out, then make sure you download The CODE App which will give you discounts for all the top bars and restaurants across London and other parts of the UK.
Want to work in some on the finest restaurants in the industry this festive season?
We recruit for some of the best-known restaurants, pubs, hotels and catering companies in London.
We have many jobs available throughout the Christmas period for both front of house and back of house positions including bar jobs in fine establishments just like these.
If you're looking for a role contact us today on 02079236021 to discuss hospitality jobs in London.

Perennial peonies grow in shades of black, white, red, pink, purple and yellow, blooming for 6 to 8 weeks. The plants have rich green foliage in normal conditions. For healthy peonies, plant them in full sunlight in a protected site, with well-drained soil that has a pH of 6.0 to 7.0. Not all peonies, however, stay healthy even under good conditions. When white leaves occur on peonies, it's because the plants are unhealthy in some way.
Powdery mildew may create a white film on peony leaves. The flowers may seem unaffected by the mildew, but it will weaken the plant and make the foliage look white and unhealthy. Powdery mildew won't kill peonies, but will make the plant unattractive. Cut or pick all the affected leaves to prevent powdery mildew from spreading. If this doesn't resolve the problem, apply fungicide that will kill mildew on plants without causing damage to the plants.
White Mold
White mold creates wilting of the stem, which affects the entire plant and may kill peonies. Infected stems will look light tan. In humid weather, fluffy white specks may appear on the plant. White mold will appear as hard, black spots inside infected peony stems. Cut the stem open lengthwise to look for the spots. All infected plants must be removed from the garden, roots and all, to keep other plants healthy.
Improperly planted peonies are more prone to be affected by disease. Keep peonies in well-drained soil and plant them in a site where they'll receive wind protection and normal air circulation. Cut away all diseased plants in the fall and dispose of them properly–don't place them in your compost pile, but burn them or throw them in the garbage. Apply a 2- to 3-inch layer of mulch around peony plants to help the soil retain moisture and prevent the growth of weeds. Properly planted peonies will resist diseases that cause white, unattractive leaves.
