Happy Cinco De Mayo! I went to Avogadro's Number in Fort Collins this past Sunday with my boyfriend and a few friends. I had been there years ago, but wanted to try their Bloodys again. The previous evening, a few people told me "You gotta try their Bloodys!" and that it's awesome watch the bartender craft each cocktail. So there we went– to Avoooogadro's! When you walk into Avogadro's, psychedelic paintings of animals, jungles, and wizards abound– you feel like you're walking into The Jungle Book on steroids. On various nights during the week, Avogadro's has live music and open jam/mic nights.
I ordered up a burger at the counter and went to the bar to get a Bloody. At a nice price of $5.25, I was stoked to not be reaching deep into my pockets to pay for an outrageously priced cocktail. I watched the bartender make my Bloody, which was cool. I always like the knack people put into mixing their Bloody Marys. We sat outside on the patio to enjoy Sunday Funday– right next to a sweet two-story treehouse. The patio of Avogadro's has a nice ambiance and is perfect to enjoy a springtime meal. The burger I ordered was good… The Bloody… not so much. I'm not sure if I came on an off day or what. There's also a great possibility the bartender from the previous day that my friends were speaking so highly of was not working on Sunday, so maybe that's why the Bloody was sub-par (you know a Bloody isn't good when you need someone else to help you finish it). We'll never know, but you can read my review of Avogadro's Bloody Mary below.
When the bartender served me the Bloody Mary, it looked good and was a nice deep red brick tone. There were spices dispersed throughout and there was a lot of pepper visible. The Bloody had a clean appearance and was garnished with a lemon, lime, and lots of olives (I did ask for extra!).
The garnish was pretty simple, but attractive. The olives tasted good and I tossed the lemon and lime into the actual cocktail. Not many creativity points were awarded for this one.
I ordered my Bloody Mary a bit spicy, so there was a little heat when drinking the cocktail. The spices used in the cocktail were not too complex and pepper was a prevalent flavor. The flavor also had a bite to it– and not a good one. You know how some Bloody Marys can have that bitter taste? That is indeed what Avogadro's Bloody had and it was hard to consume.
Avogadro's Bloody Mary was somewhat watered down and was not thick. The drink was not acidic, but it was not fulfilling. It was pretty diluted and had no sustenance.
This Bloody Mary was not unique at all, except watching the actual construction of the Bloody Mary was somewhat unique. I watched the bartender pour vodka over ice, then Tabasco, pepper, and finally, the mix. I enjoy watching people make Bloodys so I was happy I got to catch this moment on Sunday. On other notes, the garnishes were quite basic and there wasn't any seasoning on the rim. It was just your average Bloody and the taste was pungent at times.

605 S. Mason St, Fort Collins, CO, 80524

S'well White Marble 750ml/500ml
S'well bottles are more than their swank streamlined milk bottle shape. They look great in chic city environs, and were actually invented by a woman who got annoyed because her water got warm in the desert.
Their construction means they don't leave condensation on table tops, and hands feel neither heat nor cold when holding a Swell.
A S'well 500ml size fits easily into most bags, and the 750ml S'well will hold a bottle of wine and keep it cold.
Each bottle is unbreakable, re-useable, non-leaching, toxic free, and is comfortable to drink from without dribbling. It takes carbonated drinks, doesn't taste of metal, and the throat is wide enough for iceblocks.
And there's more : S'well Bottles have a watertight cap - seriously, they will not drip. The coarse thread of the cap also means it takes just a few turns to screw and unscrew.
S'well Bottles are made from double walled stainless steel, and really do keep fluids cold for 24 hours, or hot for 12 hours.

Hi Valentine!
Care about Palestinian rights? Want to do something subversive for Valentine's Day?
You're invited to a Valentine card making event on Sunday, February 7th from 5-8pm. We will be making valentines to protest the ongoing dispossession of Palestinians from their land by Re/Max International. RE/MAX Israel, a franchise of RE/MAX International, sells homes in Jewish-only settlements on illegally confiscated Palestinian land in direct violation of international law.
Our homemade cards will be filled with messages such as "Home Demolition is Heartless" and "Occupation Isn't Sweet." We will later send these cards to the CEO of Re/Max International and deliver them to local Re/Max offices in Philadelphia on Valentine's Day.
There will be food, drinks, and opportunities to socialize with other allies in our work for justice. Please RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com for the address. The Facebook page for the event can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1720329184852854/.

Susan Voison's Thai Green Curry with Vegetables and Tofu sounded the best of everything, though I lacked
It was an overwhelming success in my house, as well as a surprise hit on Facebook. It will be a repeater.
Miso and Vegetable Curry with Jasmine Rice
A recipe from Kat
- 1 tsp of sesame oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup of vegetable stock
- 6 spears of fresh asparagus, woody ends removed and chopped small
- 1 cup of fresh broccoli, florets only, chopped small
- 8 oz of tofu, chopped small
- 2 cups of soy milk or almond milk or coconut milk (I used light unflavored soy milk)
- 1-2 Tbsp of reduced sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 2 Tbsp of white miso paste
- 1 cup of uncooked white jasmine rice
- 1.25 cups of water (for rice)
- Gomashio to taste (see note below)
- Black pepper to taste
- Heat sesame oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onions. Cook until tender. Add garlic. Cook approximately a minute.
- Add vegetable broth to pot. Allow to come to boil and add asparagus, broccoli, and tofu.
- Add soy milk and soy sauce. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
- In another pot, bring water to a soft boil. Add jasmine rice, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. (My rice was finished by this point, but some may need to cook further or set for 5 minutes to absorb any remaining liquid.)
- Add some liquid from vegetable mixture to miso paste. Stir until it reaches a creamy consistency. Remove the vegetable mixture from the heat and add miso into the pot.
- Serve miso curry over rice with gomashio on top to taste.
Gomashio is a Japanese condiment sometimes served with various rice dishes. It can be difficult to find in grocery stores, so if you cannot find it, it's very easy to make.
Take toasted sesame seeds and salt (or your salt substitute of choice--I used a mixture of salt and kelp). A good ratio is 5:1 (5 parts sesame seeds to 1 part salt), though it can go as high as 15:1. Grind them together with a mortar and pestle. Serve over the rice and curry.

Spanish news is endlessly juicy. From the Catalan independence movement, to the new political scene and massive corruption scandals, Spain is in uncharted territory. Spain also abounds in quirky cultural tales and, well... football news.
Stories from three continents, dealing with a wide range of topics. Bigger than just the news of the day—these stories, with fresh points of view, try to inspire empathy and understanding.
I'm a freelance journalist based in Madrid, Spain and my work regularly appears in Turkey's Anadolu Agency and El Pais English.
I'm from Canada but I've called Spain my home for six years. I speak and understand Spanish at a bilingual level and am beginning to learn Portuguese.
I also have experience reporting abroad. I interned at The Hindu newspaper in Chennai, India and at the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation)'s London bureau.
I've also covered local news for The StarPhoenix, the main daily in my hometown of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Beyond that, my work has appeared in Guernica Magazine, Canada's Postmedia Network, Embassy Magazine, Canadian Dimension, and more.
Beyond straight journalism, I've written for trade publications, edited the English version of FITUR Daily, IE University's blog, a big-data startup and much more.
I have a double major degree in journalism and history from Carleton University (Canada's top journalism program). I expect to complete my master's degree in translation for Menendez Pelayo International University in Spring 2017.
Work with me
Need a story covered from Spain or Europe? I can provide the lowdown.
If you need help writing or translating non-news, I'm more than happy to help.

With the cherry blossoms come scores of leisure tourists and high hotel rates that planners and attendees would be wise to avoid when considering Washington, D.C. That's not to say the nation's capital is not a great destination for an event, but a few poor choices can turn the experience sour—take it from someone who was born and raised in the area, and lived there for a decade post-college. In other words, take it from me, as well as this advice, for doing D.C. the right away.
1. Fall for the fall. As mentioned, spring is when cherry blossoms and tourism bloom in D.C. To minimize waits at some of the city's landmark locations, try another season. Fall, for instance, has pleasant temperatures and little precipitation.
2. Keep it close. One of the best aspects of Washington is it's a major city that isn't very big. That means you can plan many of your events within walking distance, thus cutting down on cab costs and ensuring attendees won't get caught in a Metro delay.

- Hospitality has some great tech tools, but they need to guide us, not rule us
HITEC's on its way, and will no doubt be filled with another fascinating selection of the latest and greatest technology to help us run hotels in the most effective way. A great deal of hard work and creative genius will be on display in the form of new products that pull data together in interesting new ways and guide users toward the most efficient way to approach their tasks.
The key word there is "guide". It wasn't that long ago that systems required us to enter information in a specific order to make a reservation or check someone in, an order often chosen by corporate standards that favored complete data collection over speed of taking a booking. Complete data is always great, of course, but real people don't give it to you in the same order even if asked, and flexibility of input is critical.
Then we went through a phase where it was important to define the best workflow steps; first get the contact information, then the dates/rate of the booking, then payment, and so on. Again, though, while it's important to make sure all the steps are covered it's too unrealistic to force people to always do them in the same sequence. Several newer systems are more helpful in providing a checklist of the essential steps at the side of the screen with the completed ones highlighted, allowing the staff the flexibility to work with the guest's own unique approach and still keep track of what needs to be done.
Revenue management systems have become indispensable to keep track of all the myriad micro-market segments used by our guests and to suggest appropriate rates to maximize the revenue from each. But this mechanical sophistication still needs to be tempered by human experience, by knowledge of outside conditions the system doesn't track, by the circumstances of a particular guest or group. Good selling requires a relationship, an understanding of a client's needs, and flexibility to accommodate them. Housekeeping systems used to provide a rigid list of rooms to be cleaned each day; now they're often dynamic, re-arranging priorities on the fly to meet guests' and managers' changing needs. Other examples abound.
More than anything, the best and most useful systems provide the right degree of information, context and flexibility to let hotel staff use their skill and experience to maximum effect. If you're looking for new systems at HITEC, completeness of functionality for your specific needs is essential, but also make sure you're buying an assistant, not a straitjacket.

- Thompson Chicago implements StayNTouch Rover FrontOffice and Housekeeping mobile applications
- Host Hotel Systems completes two-way HostPMS interface with eRevMax's Connect
- Frontdesk Anywhere integrates with PriceMatch
- Software Advice survey highlights systems needs and priorities of small-hotel owners and managers
The 247-room Thompson Chicago has implemented two of StayNTouch's mobile applications. The Rover FrontOffice module is an integrated, touch/tablet overlay on the property's Micros Opera guest management system, allowing agents to offer room upgrades, check-in with key encoding and secure credit card swipe directly from a tablet. The Rover Housekeeping provides a touch-optimized user interface for any mobile device (iPod Touch, tablet, etc.) for full access to rooms-to-clean lists, room status, guest information and room status updating. (www.thompsonchicago.com, www.stayntouch.com)
Portugal-based Host Hotel Systems has completed a two-way interface between its HostPMS guest management system and eRevMax's Connect for management of room availability, rates and reservations on multiple booking websites. (hostpms.com, www.erevmax.com)
Frontdesk Anywhere has integrated its guest management software with PriceMatch's revenue management system, offering a combination of cloud-based applications aimed at providing seamless information flow for better analysis and pricing recommendations. (www.pricematch.travel, www.frontdeskanywhere.com)
Software Advice has released a survey highlighting the needs and priorities of 385 small-hotel owners and managers looking for hotel management software. About half (54%) operate independent hotels, inns and resorts; 57% have between 10 and 50 rooms, although property size varied from less than 10 rooms to 500+. 34 percent were already using a hotel management system, whereas 28 percent were running manually.
The reasons given for replacing an existing HMS were diverse, led by the need to update an older system that doesn't operate quickly enough or doesn't function with newer hardware (18%). Other common reasons included current software that is missing necessary features such as online bookings or sales channel management (16%), a general desire to improve efficiency (15%), bad experiences with customer support (15%), dissatisfaction with the user interface (9%), technical issues such as glitches or program crashes (7%) and a desire to find a cheaper system (6%); a small minority cited the growth of their business.
The most-desired features were, unsurprisingly, entering and editing reservations (28%) with online booking capabilities a close second at 22%. About 11 percent mentioned CRM/guest management features to help maintain guest information and preferences, 9% wanted housekeeping capabilities and another 9% needed more robust accounting and reporting features. Surprisingly, features to drive more business to the property (including distribution management and marketing) came in at only 6%.
The great majority of respondents (85%) were looking to have a new system in place in less than three months. Only 14% were looking at a three to six month timeframe, with a very few (2%) are looking at systems six to 12 months out. (http://www.softwareadvice.com/hotel-management/buyerview/report-2014/)

Mobile-Simple announced that it will release at HITEC a mobile approach to hospitality minibar management that is intended to work with all types of fridges and snack trays. (www.mobile-simple.com)
Samsung Electronics America has released v3.0 of its LYNK REACH (Remote Enhanced Active Control for Hospitality) software and hardware application, including a new, fully customizable user interface for managing, delivering and maintaining guestroom TV content from a single location. Available on all Samsung Hospitality TV models, LYNK REACH 3.0 can broadcast branded content and hotel information through an Interactive Program Guide (IPG), and manage a TV's software settings, firmware and clone version from a central location. It is compatible with existing coaxial-based infrastructure. (www.samsung.com/us/business/hospitality)
Red Lion Hotels has approved Bulk TV & Internet as a provider of high definition programming services for many of its hotels. (www.redlion.com, www.bulktv.com)
Eleven has enhanced its ElevenOS guest Internet management software to help hotels optimize their guests' experience on mobile devices. The new standard login screen determines if the guest is connecting with a mobile device and redistributes dynamic page content based on that device, defaulting to a portrait orientation, increased font size and enlarged buttons and input. A second version of the login screen re-styles the layout based on the browser width rather than the user device, using CSS Media Queries and making similar style changes. Both versions help decrease load times by trimming non-essential images and content. ElevenOS re-authenticates guest devices based on MAC addresses rather than cookies, to allow guests to stay logged in throughout their stay. Eleven has enhanced its backend settings to help hoteliers manage mobile Internet usage, such as allowing guests to use the same plan on multiple devices and setting limits to the number of devices per access plan.

Denihan's James Hotels division has launched The James Pocket Assistant, a mobile app provided by GuestDriven that helps guests book a hotel reservation, extend a stay, check-in, receive express check-out, schedule a spa appointment, make dinner reservations, find tickets to local attractions, order in-room dining, request valet or luggage pick-up, contact a front desk or concierge agent, and more. Inspired by The James' concierge teams, the insider's guides are designed to help visitors secure in-demand reservations and tickets and discover cultural destinations they wouldn't typically experience. Another function allows guests to take self-guided art tours throughout the hotels' art collections. Supplemental features to be added include pool and beach services at The James Royal Palm resort, 360 degree virtual tours and a transportation partnership with Uber. The James will also use Apple's iBeacon technology to pinpoint iOS device users' locations and offer them location-specific hotel perks and offers. (www.jameshotels.com)
The Cosmopolitan Hotel Hong Kong and its sister hotels Cosmo Hotel Hong Kong and Dorsett Mongkok Hong Kong, have placed a smart handy phone in every guestroom. The phones provide 24-hour free use of 3G internet and a personal hotspot for multi-device connectivity, unlimited local calls and IDD calls to the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore and China. Guests are free to use the phones throughout their stay, and enjoy 24-hour internet connection everywhere in the city. Pre-loaded features include interactive maps, a Hong Kong city guide and discounts for dining, nightlife, shops and local attractions. Upon check-out, every device's memory is wiped clean and reset to its original configuration. (www.cosmopolitanhotel.com.hk, http://handy.travel/hk/en/hospitality)

Robbie McTyer: Scooter kid, 6, does favourite tricksTue, 05/03/2016 - 9:08pm
Hi, my name is Robbie McTyer and I am a six-year-old scooter kid from New South Wales, Australia. I love watching scooteram.com clips and I want to share a video of my favourite tricks with you.
I came second at the Australian scooter nationals 7s and Under in 2016.
I won my first scooter competition when I was five years old. This was the 7s and Under group of an Australian Scooter Association state qualifier at Monsters Skate Park at Sydney's Olympic Park in 2015.
I love competitions because you get to meet awesome kids and you get to watch the best riders in Australia do amazing tricks. They are so much fun and you learn so much.
I love learning from the big kids at the skate parks that I go to. They are always so helpful and friendly to me. My parents have taken me and my brother to some of the coolest skate parks on the Australian East Coast, so check them out in my video!
If you enjoyed my clip, please like, share and comment.
And you can find me on Instagram: @robbiemctyer.
Thanks for watching!

The four noble truths in Buddhism are based on suffering. Life brings suffering. This of course has many meanings and many different interpretations. It's a saying that is true from many different angles. Life is not some gloomy depressing voyage, but we all have suffering within our lives. The degree of this suffering ranges from person to person, not only in what each person has as a reality but mainly in how each person perceives their reality.
We all have our stories. We all have had difficulties we've had to work through in life. We all have our stories of triumph and failure through the trials and tribulations that the road of life puts in front of us. Every single one of us has our struggles, shortcomings, hurdles, and difficulties. My current struggles; over the last year dealing with arthritis in both my knees, some gut and diet issues that I've been working through for almost two years... how to better manage my family/work/social time with my abundance of workload... how I'm going to provide for my family with a son about to turn 12, a daughter due in September and plans for one or two more... those are the first worries that come to mind for me. I'm pretty damn happy with that. I've been through my share of hardship in different forms that I have a good enough perspective on life that I know I have a lot to be thankful for and that my "problems" are good ones. I feel like a jerk to consider these struggles. The arthritis is manageable. I've adjusted to my gut and diet, it's a pain in the ass to order food when I go out... boo-hoo I get to go out to eat. I have many passions in life and I have a great family and network of friends, my time is always split between what I love doing and people I love being with, so I struggle to do more of what I love and/or see people I love more... simply a matter of having to be content with the fact that there is 168 hours in a week and needing to sleep for a few of those. After wrestling with fertility problems for four years you won't hear me actually complain about anything baby related... but the burden of providing for the ones I'm responsible for will always be a concern. I'm HAPPY!!!! to have these struggles. If I were to take my problems and mix them with anybody else's I'd fight to get mine back. I'm very thankful to be where I'm at right now.
I hope you also have more manageable concerns than you have hardships. Not all of us are lucky enough to have welcomed struggles. Hardship and tough times can happen to anyone. Small struggles can turn life pretty tough pretty quickly. Left without a safety net the fall can be a long and tough recovery. Lose a job, fall behind on rent, transmission in your only car goes out, get sick and not have sufficient insurance coverage... the fall from comfort can be quick and easy. It can happen to anyone. Thankfully there are people and organizations out there that can help others get up after they have fallen, after they've dropped through the net they had... if they had a net at all.
Homeless Connections is there to help people when their struggles conquer their comfort. The organization started in Appleton, Wisconsin as a single leased home in 1983. It now has a 78 bed facility in downtown with four focused programs to help end homelessness;
- Prevention Program through a collaboration with LEAVEN, provides financial assistance and connections to community resources to those who are at risk of losing their housing.
- Street Outreach connects individuals who are acutely homeless and living with mental illness and/or addiction.
- Shelter Program that provides safe and temporary shelter with personal care items and daily meals, all to meet their basic needs.
- Case Management Program that provides personal guidance to individuals and families that are in the Shelter Program. Case managers work with individuals to create a personal plan for success, connecting them to community resources like workforce development, health care, and housing providers.
Homeless Connections relies a lot on volunteers that are motivated to help out their mission. Mark Armstrong is one of those volunteers. He helps out every year with a program he organizes called The Ton of Food event. This year he realized an opportunity on a day that the State of Wisconsin allows fishing without paying for a permit. He got a group together through Thrivent, his employer, gathered fishing poles (that were gifted to the participants at the end of the day) and bait, got some food and drink together and held a cookout and fishing day open to anyone interested that was in the Shelter Program at Homeless Connections. It was a great day to get out and enjoy a beautiful summer day, get some lines in the water and laughs on the land. While I was there the only catches the hooks found were some seaweed, a chair and some worms... but catching fish isn't always the point of fishing, right? Everybody had a good time, lots of laughs, conversation, some food and drink... a nice care free day where the struggles were forgotten.
Thanks for stopping by.

While we love three pointers as much as anyone else, there's really nothing on a basketball court quite like a dunk. One resounding slam has the ability to swing the momentum of an entire game, get the crowd fired up, and to immortalize both the dunkers (like Blake Griffin or Michael Jordan) and those being dunked on (like Alton Lister or Frederic Weis).
The best of these dunkers can certainly be some of the game's best players; Jordan or Julius Erving are certainly too shining examples of that. But, as we've learned you don't always have to be a great basketball player to be a great dunker. Gerald Green—who has now finally started to find a groove in the league—has played for seven franchises, and birthday boy Harold Miner won two Slam Dunk Contests and was out of the league in four years.
In honor of flash-in-the-pan Miner's birthday, we want to examine the most elite of all these high flyers. Some made their names in the Slam Dunk Contest, others in real games, and a select few in both. One thing they all share in common, though, is they can jump right out of the gym and clearly have a flair for the dramatic. These are the Best Dunkers in NBA History.Written by Doug Sibor (@dcsibor)

Los Ingobernables de Japan members Naito & BUSHI return to Arena Mexico tonight, teaming with Los Ingobernable's Rush tonight in the match. EVIL is scheduled to be with them, and there's a good chance La Bestia del Ring and Terrible will join in the Ingobernables fiesta by the time they're done. LA Park, Volador, and Diamante Azul are the competition, not the Washington Generals, but it's probably not going to be their night. CMLL crowd reacted turned out and reacted strongly to Okada a few weeks ago. Naito is likely a bigger star to their fans, given his history with their company, so I expect a similar event tonight. CMLL going with a picture of BUSHI where he's holding a teddy bear is great.
Reporte Indigo has a story on the reach of Los Ingobernables.
Most people are going to focus on the main event. Cavernario/Matt Taven is going to be the match of the night. Cavernario is very good and Matt Taven's been in his best form in CMLL this run. He'll technically be the tecnico, but that CMLL crowd is going to be behind the favorite caveman, just as they were in the King Phoenix feud. Cavernario might even actually win this time. This should be something people are excited to see but, like everything associated with the 09/14 card, CMLL's made people less interested.
Definitely less interesting is the semi-main, another Guerreros versus Klan Kaoz match. These have been the same matches since this feud started, just varying on how much extra the Guerreros want to do and the crowd's willingness to go along. Something probably needs to happen here to get raise interest in this feud. I'm uncertain what they could do.
One problem with pushing Klan Kaoz as a rudo threat to the Guerreros is the Nueva Generacion Dinamitas exist, are in the match just prior, and would've been more exciting title challengers. Instead, they continue to drift, facing the Casas team of Negro Casas, Felino & Tiger. That's two rudo/rudo matches on the show for no particular reason. Marcela, Lluvia, and La Jarochita and Dalys, Reina Isis and Amapola in a trios match that feels very familiar even if it hasn't happened in exactly that combination. Arkalis makes his Marca debut tonight, teaming with Robin against Coyote & Akuma. Those guys are capable of having an above average opening match.
This show airs at 8:30pm CT on both Marca and Facebook – though there's no Facebook link up yet, and Marca's feed is listed as regionblocked at the moment. This seems like a problem, the kind I usually have to figure out myself, so the bad news for you is I'm probably not streaming tonight's CMLL on YouTube. I'm going to be at a different wrestling show tonight, not watching this show live. (I also, despite my best efforts, have a fantasy football draft tonight.) I may be able to get the stream started remotely, but both the Marca and Facebook feed died on me last week and I'd have to spend the night glued to my phone to make sure it was working. I recommend you use the Facebook feed when it comes out tonight, or just wait until tomorrow and watch it on YouTube.
Lucha Central has a preview of the show.
Mr. Niebla is off the 09/14 CMLL 85th Anniversario show. CMLL quietly replaced his name with Mephisto on the website. That's as close as they'll come to acknowledging Niebla's performance on Tuesday. Mr. Niebla originally seemed to be suspended for about three weeks for every one of these incidents. The length of his suspensions has grown in more recent years, though there's no consistent pattern to it. I do expect we'll see Mr. Niebla back in CMLL but I would not bet on a specific time.
CMLL starts it's Matt Taven & Cavernario career look backs.
ExpoLucha gets into full gear tonight. They'll be streaming a Future Legend show on Lucha Central tonight at 10pm CT. Penta, Rey Fenix and Rey Mysterio team up – for probably the last time in at least a while – against Juventud Guerrera, Psicosis and Super Crazy. It'll surely be the last Rey's last match with Guerrera & Psicosis for a few years, and who knows if any one of them will be wrestling the next time Mysterio leaves WWE, or if there's even going to be another post-WWE Mysterio. It's Lucha Central's first live streaming show, so cross your fingers, but it looks like a good lineup if goes off without a hitch.
The PALL alliance of promotions has their debut show tonight in Arena Naucalpan. The scheduled main is LA Park vs Rayo de Jalisco vs
Mr. Niebla Hechicero. Mr. Niebla has been pulled off this show due to his CMLL suspension. Park is attempting to work both Arena Mexico & Arena Naucalpan on the same night, which can be done but might not mean the best for him in either place. The most interesting match to me is the Tortugas Ninjas vs Kamikazes del Aire vs Freelance/Segura/Dragon Bane three-way tiros match. This will definitely turn in YouTube bootlegs and fits the mode of the shows +LuchaTV has been streaming of late.
"AAA vs ELITE 2" takes places tonight in Tijuana, with local promoter EMW running the show. The main event has Psycho Clown, Puma King, Hijo del Fantasma and Electroshock in a four-way. Damian 666 becomes the latest luchador to go from working The Crash to wrestling for rival local group EMW, teaming with Mr. Aguila against Pagano & Joe Lider. This is not a streaming show, but I suspect it'll turn up on handhelds. I'm interested in seeing if "AAA vs Elite the concept" is a draw; they've done a good job of promoting it locally like it's an important show.
There's a rumor going around Facebook – seems to have started here – that Scoria, Cuervo, and Faby Apache are leaving AAA and going independent. Random facebook sources are a stretch to trust.
It would be pretty easy to believe Cuervo & Scoria leaving AAA. They haven't been on a taping since May and have barely shown up on spot shows the last couple months. They do not appear to be in AAA's plans and it's probably time for them to look elsewhere. Faby Apache leaving would be a shock. It definitely seemed like there was a falling out between Faby & AAA sometime last year when she was deprioritized on lineups, but she's been one of AAA's featured stars of this year, is the current women's champion, and her father was just added to AAA's Hall of Fame. Faby's also listed on a lot of cards going forward, including the show in Colombia, though all AAA cards are subject to change. That includes Sunday's taping in Monterrey. You shouldn't believe this is happening based on what's been announced so far, but it would be meaningful if the already scheduled Shani/Apache singles match suddenly becomes for the Reina de Reinas championship.
AAA put up Dr. Alfonso Morales and El Apache's AAA Hall of Fame inductions on YouTube. That was the part of the show where the stream wasn't quite working. AAA also put up a Lady Shani vs Faby Apache bathroom fight that took place in Ecatepec that seems a little after the fact now.
MedioTiempo talks to Christian Cymet about the lucha libre museum exhibit coming up on 09/14 to 16th, says Sin Cara will be appearing.

CMLL (TUE) 09/04/2018 Arena México
1) Sangre Imperial & Sonic vs Apocalipsis & Camorra
2) Astral, Eléctrico, Star Jr. vs Akuma, Espanto Jr., Espíritu Negro
3) Lluvia, Marcela, Princesa Sugehit vs Amapola, La Comandante, Metálica
4) Rey Cometa vs Tiger [lightning]
5) Ángel de Oro, Guerrero Maya Jr., Niebla Roja vs Felino, Rey Bucanero, Shocker
6) Diamante Azul, Valiente, Volador Jr. vs Cavernario, Gran Guerrero, Último Guerrero
A show. Maybe we can hope for Volador/Cavernario again. Sonic gets on shows two weeks in a row, but Camorra & Apocalipsis still exist.
CMLL has now run Rey Cometa/Tiger three times (and they also had a match in Brazil.) That kind of seems low, seeing as they've been stuck in the same place forever. Maybe not the exact same place: Rey Cometa won in 2013 and Rey Cometa won in 2015. Tiger's got to get this done this year or he may not get another shot until 2021.
CMLL (TUE) 09/04/2018 Arena Coliseo Guadalajara
1) Black Sugar, Guerrero Samurai Jr., Mágico vs Frezzer, Furia Roja, Guerrero de la Muerte
2) Príncipe Odín Jr., Sangre Azteca, Tyson La Bestia vs El Rielero, Fugaz, Reyko
3) Audaz, Drone, Pegasso vs Dragón Rojo Jr., Okumura, Pólvora
4) Black Panther, Soberano Jr., Stuka Jr. vs Ephesto, Luciferno, Mephisto
5) Atlantis, Carístico, Kráneo vs La Bestia Del Ring, Rush, Terrible
Terrible has returned from his back injury after four weeks off. It's convivent he was cleared to return just as a spot for a main event rudo opened up with Mr. Niebla being gone. Terrible's probably not replacing Niebla here, he's taking back the spot Cavernario had, so maybe Cavernario is taking the Niebla spot in Mexico City.
Main event program pointed towards a Rush/Caristico match. It wouldn't be the greatest idea to have Rush work singles matches before CMLL's biggest show of the year, but it is CMLL so it could still happen.

Never give up
I made those 30 quarter circles last night. After I cut the fabrics, I sat down at my sewing machine and 35 minutes later they were all pieced. I timed it to see how long it would take but I did not rush through the piecing of any of these, I plodded along methodically. They have since been pressed but not trimmed.
Sewing curves is easy - truly it is. Last December I posted a video which is 1 minute 18 seconds showing how to do it without pins, special sewing feet, fuss or bother, together with some tips. Or you can view it on Youtube directly here. If you are still reluctant to do curves, or hate all the pinning and fussing and the hours it takes, you might want to take a look.
The curves were made from this stack of fabrics, Kona solids, mostly from a Poseidon bundle and Kona Snow. You see, my friend Julie from Distant Pickles is also giving me a chance to pattern test. Her pattern is Mod Pop and it is so retro and funky:
I have known Julie via the internet for a long while now, having met her in my first sewing bee - she is an excellent quilter and a great person. This is going to be her first published pattern and I am so excited to be able to be a small part of it.
I have a better plan for this quilt, the blues and greens will be the background and the snow will be the curvy chains. I am already planning the quilting too - I am hoping for a very mod look. I am pretty sure this assignment will improve my pattern tester grade - I have not give up yet.
I am off to the farmer's market, enjoy your day!

Since I'm going backwards in time, it's fun to see the beginnings of your Mod Pop quilt. While her prints are fun, yours feels like going down a waterslide--a whoosh of water and fun.ReplyDelete

Sheep without the trailer $375.00
Stock trailer. Not good for trailering horses, but good for loading sheep to take anywhere you want to go. Fairly new tires. On the other side Wayne welded hooks to hold my panels :0) Plus, it has a compartment for your hay, chairs, etc.
Trailer without the sheep $800.00
Sheep and Trailer...a deal.....$1000 Start paying now AND YOU WILL BE PAID OFF BY THE END OF FEBRUARY :0)

Get your Christmas Glow for the party season.....
22|12|16 Netherlands
Whether you will fake tan or not, its good to gently exfolaite the skin to remove any build up of dead skin cells and brighten the skin. Making the rest of your products work better on the skin.
Look for AHA's and BHA's in your skincare products.
Hydrate and Plump your skin cells with a serum under your day or night cream. Serums have the smallest molecule size so they penetrate the skin a lot better than other products.
Sleep in a hydrating gel or cream mask in the run up to your nights out. Masks will help to nourish the skin and work a lot better into the skin over night... rejuvinating and awakening the skin so you wake up with a gorgeous G L O W.
A gentle steam will open the pores in your skin letting out any build up of toxins and congestion. Apply a mask or serum after steaming and the product will work better into the skin.
Do a gentle massage with oil in the evening before bed on your face and neck. Massage stimulates the muscles and can help reduce puffiness and dull looking skin. Oils are nice to sleep with on the skin every now and then to give a lot of moisture to the skin. Use instead of your night cream once or twice a week.
Drink a green juice with whatever veg you can tolerate and add some coconut water and lemon. Cleanse your skin from the inside out.
Treat yourself to a relaxing and rejuvenating professional skin treatment. Have your blackheads and mila extracted and circulation boosted with the help of active ingredients in the products.
Enjoy the holidays!!
Dont Sleep in your make-up......
Love your SKIN,
LOVE, Katie

October Gathering - After Action Report/
On the day of the October Gathering, it was raining heavily. This gave us some cause for concern. Would that affect the attendance negatively? Apparently not. At 7p.m. sharp, there was already a queue at the door. If this was because of the rain, then we like rain! All in all, the final attendance figure for the gathering was 100 people in total.

For a superb panorama shot by Mikko Lehtonen CLICK HERE For more photos by Mikko CLICK HERE Thank you Mikko for sending these in!
Again we had a good steady number in new visitors with 20 more people joining the mailing list. Amongst these there were people from ELVI project all the way from Oulu.
100 attendees was well in-line with the season average of 104 attendees per Gathering. During the same period last year, we averaged 74 attendees per Gathering. Time will tell if this autumn has been exceptionally active or if this is just natural effect caused by the steady growth in Finnish Game Industry jobs.
As all those that were present probably noticed, System Club has changed its face. System Club is now System Rock with new interiors and new music style. The pirate flags near the entrance were superb!
There was an unfortunate mix-up and the cloak room didn't open until 11.30p.n. this time, which caused a hefty pile of jackets near the entrance. We will try to prevent this of happening again in the future. Another nice detail was that there were many people that had brought their own cameras. If you think you have any good photos send them to our photography master Tommi Hartikainen

I will go to great lengths of accommodating discomfort in order to avoid Discomfort.
Case in point: I ate white-bread-and-cheese sandwiches for four days in London during my first visit there, at age 16, because I was too terrified to venture out beyond the first place I found that sold food. (I also missed my chance to see Elvis Costello in teeny-tiny concert, as well as the original cast of the Rocky Horror Show, for pretty much the same reason. Yes, I know.)
More proof? After three weeks of profound illness and several harrowing nights of 104º+ fever, I still had to be tricked into going to the hospital by my clever, clever sister. Because to hell with the idea I might die by staying away: the emergency room would have been a clear admission that something was seriously wrong with me.
I did what I could to prep for a good month away: clothes, plans, transpo, housing. It never occurred of me to ask my charming host about workspace arrangements. Hell, she was throwing extra sets of keys to an office to me; why would I think about it?
So when I threw open the door to my Home-and-Office Away from Home, imagine my surprise at finding exactly two clear horizontal surfaces above the floor: the bedside tables on either side of the Tempurpedic. Which, to be fair, is also a clear horizontal surface (and a scary-comfortable one, at that), but highly impractical for use as a computing workspace, which is what I was after.
I jury-rigged something out of one of the tables, the iMac box and a few pillows (for carpal tunnel-reduction). Within five minutes, it was clear that any notions of productivity I'd driven up here with were going to be dashed upon the rocks of half-assedness; there's only so much one can do with crap tools and a crap set-up, no matter what kind of raw material and will one is working with.
The BF said two words: Craig's List. Well, I guess that's one word, as far as the Internet is concerned. And it was a fine idea: people unload far costlier items than a beat-to-shit table on the "free" list every day.
But I knew that looking it up was only a small fraction of a complex equation, the rest of which was a snarl of potential issues that started with my giving up a parking spot in a neighborhood that places a premium on them, and ended with me sliced to ribbons in a culvert out back of a trailer park in some remote, exurban swath of Seattle. With a lot of narrowly-missed freeway exits in between. I could put up with the end table, couldn't I? For just a few weeks?
I couldn't. I came here to write, and I couldn't write shite perched on a futon couch, my knees wrapped around a bedside table, my mousing arm wobbly on a giant cardboard box. I found the perfectly priced, beat-to-shit table in a faraway suburb, took a deep breath, and emailed. Three hours later, my table was reassembled in the Temporary Pad, my car was parked in a new and equally deliciously located spot, and I was walking downtown for a celebratory Americano at my beloved Caffé Umbria.
They don't alter you overnight-and-forever, these little stabs at change. But they do have a way of making other things fall into place almost magically. A few hours later, I ran into a friend from Los Angeles who is here, performing in a play. Got invited to dinner with a couple of online friends who were gathering nearby. (Got to buy my idol, Dan Savage, a drink while I was there, too.)
On the cab ride over (did I mention the cab that magically appeared out of nowhere?), the driver and I talked about fear and petrification and how to manage the former to help stave off the latter. I think I may have convinced him of the rightness of taking a two-hour vacation, all by himself. As a start. As a gateway challenge.
Today? Was a good day.

Make 100 : The Past in Focus - 100 Rare Photographs Restored
Take your pick from 100 rare photos of the past that I will restore to crisp perfection.
What is The Past in Focus about?
Thousands upon thousands of magnificent images from the past are buried in photo archives across America and the world. They deserve to be displayed and marveled at....and they deserve to be restored and seen in hi-definition.
I will unearth 100 rarely-seen images from these archives and give them new life by digitally restoring them to their original splendor. You can help me select these photos and then you will have the choice of any of the 100 restored images to own as a print. Together, we'll be archaeologists sifting through the sands of time and discovering rare photographic jewels to polish and bring to life again.
What Kind of Images Are Being Restored?
Sailing ships, arctic explorers, adventurers in Africa, magnificent buildings, workers and laborers, thoughtful portraits, beautiful scenery from America's national parks, aviation images, captured moments from the era of the wild west ..... anything unique, truly eye-catching, and RARE. The rarer the juicier.
This project is as much yours as it is mine, so if there is a particular image ( or a general subject ) you want to see included, spit it out and let me know! I'll hunt for a matching image and then you can tell me whether you believe it should be in the collection or not.
Picking Your Print
At the conclusion of the campaign, all 100 of the restored images from "The Past in Focus" will be available for viewing online and you can then make your pick of which image you want to frame for your home. Enjoy a mystery? I can surprise you with a print!
If you can't decide which photo you would like to own, then you can own them all - The Past in Focus Image Collection will include all 100 images fully-restored as hi-res jpegs ( 1200-2500px ) so you can make 5x7" or 8x10" prints yourself. Only 100 of The Past in Focus Image Collections will be available.
The majority of these images will be unearthed from the largest and most magnificent photo collection in America - the Library of Congress - but I will peruse libraries from the far corners of the world as well... libraries such as the Rijksmuseum, the National Maritime Archives of Australia, and The British Library.
Libraries make it a practice to scan photographs and then upload them to their archives untouched and unrestored. Most need color correction, sharpening, and a great deal of spot cleaning to bring them to vibrant life again. It takes me anywhere from 10-45 minutes to clean and restore each photo. If "The Past in Focus" gets successfully funded, I'll be taking time off from my small business to focus on the digital restoration of these 100 images.
The photos shown on this page are just a sample of some of the past restoration work I have done.
My sister and I operate a home-based photo business, so making beautiful photographs is our specialty. All 8x10" and 16x20" prints** will be printed and cut by hand in our home studio. They will be printed on Canon premium luster photo paper with Chromalife inks ( 150+ year lifespan ). All photos are archival so you'll have a print that one day will be as old as the image printed on it!
**If there are more than 30 orders than all 16x20" photos will be printed by a professional U.S based photo printer.
The Past in Focus has reached its goal! In order to spice up the collection, I've added Bonus Sets. Every time we reach a new goal level a bonus set will be added to the collection. If you have already backed the project then these photos are a bonus reward! ( Backers who selected the print option will be able to select from these images as well ). Check back here often because every few days a new bonus set will be added!
NOTE: If you do not wish to select a print or The Past in Focus Image Collection, these sets are available individually under the "Bonus Set" reward option.
If the project reaches $2500.....
....then SHIPS AND THE SEA will be added. This set of 12 hand-picked photos will feature beautiful three-masted schooners, yachts, and brigantines sailing the seven seas.
If the project reaches $3000.....
...then THE AGE OF EXPLORATION will be added. This set of 15 hand-picked photos will feature images of explorers and hardy pioneers of foreign lands such as Africa, Australia, South America, and the polar regions.
If the project reaches $3500.....
....then HOW BIZARRE! will be added. This set of 10 hand-picked photos will feature images of the strange, unusual - and downright bizarre!
If the project reaches $4000.....
....then INTO THE SKIES will be added. This beautiful set of 15 hand-picked photos will feature images from the early days of aviation: aeroplanes, gliders, bi-planes, blimps, balloons, and the pilots that flew them.
If the project reaches $4500.....
....then THE LAND DOWN UNDER will be added. This set of 15 hand-picked photos will feature images of Australia in all its glory: landscapes, city views, the people, culture, and, of course, kangaroos!
If the project reaches $5000....
....then NEW YORK, NEW YORK will be added. This set of 18 beautiful images will feature scenes of the Big Apple dating back to the mid-1800s. See New York like you never saw it before!
If the project reaches $5500....
...then SEASIDE HOLIDAY will be added. This set of 10 images will feature lovely scenes of happy beachgoers, lighthouses, and toe-dipping youngsters at the seaside.
WOW! We made $6000 without a stretch goal....
....but you're still going to receive a bonus set, of course. This time it's 12 images of Mother Nature in all her glory: waterfalls, mountains, geysers, volcanoes, etc.
And since the campaign passed $6500....
...another set just got added! Choo-choo, we're steaming ahead! A set of 12 beautiful images of trains from around the world.
If the campaign reaches $7500....
....a new reward level will be offered. Requests for the photobook have been heard! I wouldn't want the assembling of the book to distract from the restoration work of the photos so it will have a longer fulfillment date ( April ) but anyone who would rather own the book featuring all 100 images from The Past in Focus Image Collection will be able to switch their reward at this level. It will be a hardcover, glossy, 115-page photobook with a very limited print-run of 100. Would you like your name in the book? You deserve it, so just let me know and you'll be accredited as an official restoration sponsor!
Since we passed $8500.....
...another bonus set just got added! SMALLTOWN AMERICA will feature 15 beautiful images from small hamlets across the USA.
$10,000! ......
....at that level we all deserve a JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD! Let's see, we'll have to make a stop in England, the Continent, India, Africa, Asia, and certainly South America. Twenty images, twenty ports of call.
If the project reaches $12,000.....
.....then it's time to have a spot of recreation. The A GOOD SPORT collection will feature 12 beautifully restored images of sports: auto racing, tennis, golf, horse jumping, boxing, etc.
If the project reaches $13,000.....
....then A VIEW OF THE HEAVENS will be added. My sister just launched her Kickstarter campaign - The Apollo 11 Lunar Landing Chart - so this is sort of a tie-in celebration of space. It will include 12 amazing photos of observatories, early space photographs ( can you believe that moon image was taken before 1920? ), rare NASA images, and astronomers in action.
Spread the word about the project and more and more photos will be added to The Past in Focus Image Collection!
Risks and challenges
This is my first Kickstarter project but my sister and I had previously teamed up to create The Spotting Chart Project, a campaign which was successfully funded by pledgers like you back in February 2017. We managed to fulfill all of the orders for that project within one month and since photos are our specialty, this project should be fulfilled in even less time. However, to be on the safe side, I have made allowance for 4-6 weeks.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

This is late news but Elisabeth Moss, while being interviewed at Live! With Kelly and Michael on August 11, 2014, talked about her first role as Sandy's daughter in Lucky Chances. Here's a brief clip of her talking about the role which includes a scene featuring Sandra:
"My first role was playing Sandra Bullock's daughter — kind of before she was Sandra Bullock — in a miniseries called Lucky Chances," said Moss of her first onscreen appearance at 7 years old. "I had to find her dead in the pool and scream."
Co-host Michael Strahan then revealed that the show had a clip of the two handy. "No you don't! Are you serious?" exclaimed Moss. Afterward, she said, "That is amazing! Oh my god! Golden Globe-worthy, I would say." – Hollywood Reporter

I definitely think that Mosman High nurtures people as individuals ... you can choose your own path and the teachers fully support it ... you can become the person you want to be, it's a really good high school experience.
At Mosman High it's really easy to be who you want to be ... because they're not focused on school uniforms, or anything like that, you can focus on your own studies and what you're interested in.

Product Review: My Favorite Clear Containers/
I'm often asked, "so where do you get your containers? Is there a secret store that only Professional Organizers know about?" No, we don't have an inside deal on containers, and I buy them at the same places you do…Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, and The Container Store.
But when it comes to clear shoe boxes and sweater boxes, I recommend the ones from The Container Store. Why you ask?
1. Clarity: Using a clear container for many things is a given. But The Container Store boxes are much clearer than other brands…and clearer than ones I had from years ago. I noticed this recently as I replaced my older large storage boxes with The Container Store sweater boxes. Using smaller boxes on my high closet shelf now makes it easier for me to bring down just the bin of sweaters I need…instead of pulling down the huge under-the-bed box I had been using.
2. Stackable: The Container Store clear boxes stack easily and kind of snap into place.
3. Sturdy: I like how the box lids snap on tightly, and the plastic is strong and durable.
4. Versatile: While The Container Store boxes are perfect for sweaters, boots and shoes as their names imply…I have also used them at clients homes to organize:
- office supplies
- craft supplies
- kids artwork
- pantry items
- basement shelves
- even food in the freezer!
Of course I received no compensation for this post…I just have come to love this product.

Environmentally Themed Exhibitions Appearing At Tyler Art Gallery
"Eco-Tankers: An Exhibition by Bruce Conkle" and "Rocks and Rills: Nature Themes from the Permanent Connection" will bring green views to SUNY Oswego's Tyler Art Gallery Sept. 5 to Oct. 19.
The show of conceptual drawings and "eco-tanker ship models" by Oregon artist Conkle and students from age 6 through college level explores the issue of global warming and the specter of a future "watery world." The exhibition correlates with "Field Notes from a Catastrophe: Man, Nature and Climate Change," this year's Oswego Reading Initiative selection for summer campus-wide reading.
Conkle envisions a future of sailing behemoths, retrofitted oil tankers that are highly adaptable to temperature fluctuations, rising sea levels and changing precipitation patterns. Crops, orchards and forests could be grown on these ships by resident arborists, horticulturalists, beekeepers and others, he believes.   "Eco-Tankers" showcases the artist's watercolors and drawings and an armada of suspended sailing ships constructed by students from grade school to college.
"Rocks and Rills," a show of nature images from Tyler Art Gallery's permanent collection, also will open Sept. 5. As a semester project, spring 2008 students in "Art 381: Contemporary Museum Issues" researched and wrote extended labels for this exhibition, which will feature works by James Gale Tyler, Lucien Pissarro, Charles Pollock and others.
The public is invited to an opening reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 5, with Conkle talking about the display at 6 p.m. Refreshments will be served, sponsored by SUNY Oswego's Auxiliary Services.
"Eco-Tankers" and "Rocks and Rills" will run concurrently with "A Personal Landscape: Contemporary Art Quilts" in Tyler Art Gallery.
During exhibitions, SUNY Oswego's Tyler Art Gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. weekends. All gallery events are free and open to the public. For more information, contact the gallery at 312-2113.

The New World Order
Lecture no. 82 from the course: A History of the United States, 2nd Edition
Taught by Professor Gary W. Gallagher and 2 others | 30 min | Categories: The Great Courses Plus Online History Courses
When the Soviet Union went through a peaceful transition to democracy, the United States was left as the world's one great superpower, able to preside over the creation of numerous new nations with more or less democratic and America-inspired political systems. In the 1990s the absence of Communist repression permitted old ethnic and religious animosities in Eastern Europe to resurface. In spite of hideous "ethnic cleansing" campaigns, America was reluctant to become involved for fear that Bosnia would become another Vietnam.

Part two of Matt & Sara's excellent wedding on a beautiful, snowy day at Mt. Princeton Hot Springs! I loved the cap guns as they were pronounced husband & wife (they also made for a very interesting reception :)
You know me - the guns were my favorite part!
I love how crazy fun it got on the dance floor...
This is what it looks like when your wedding guests dance to Tupac:

Thanks so much, you guys! What a fun, beautiful day. You're wonderful and I completely enjoyed shooting your wedding :)
