BELARUS: Charismatic Pastor charged with organising "illegal" worship
Pastor Vyacheslav Goncharenko of the Minsk-based charismatic New Life Church is again facing prosecution for organising worship without state permission, he has told Forum 18 News Service. The 600-strong congregation of New Life Church has been worshipping at a disused cowshed ever since being barred from public facilities. The head of Minsk city administration religious affairs department, Alla Ryabitseva, challenged by Forum 18 why it was impossible to change the use of a cowshed, Ryabitseva replied, "read our laws". Asked which particular law forbade the conversion of cowsheds, she claimed only to deal with the religion law. "Read Article 25 – that says exactly where you can pray and where you can't." Told that it did not mention cowsheds, she retorted: "It doesn't say you can't pray in casinos either, but people don't pray in casinos!" Questioned about a disused railway carriage close to New Life used by an Orthodox community, Ryabitseva maintained that the parish was not worshipping in the carriage but had four years earlier acquired land at the site "in the proper manner."
Identical charges brought against the pastor in late 2004 no longer stand because the legal time limit for their pursuit has elapsed, Goncharenko explained to Forum 18. The latest charges are feared to be part of official moves to close down the church under Belarusian law (see F18News 25 January 2005 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=498).
New Life administrator Vasily Yurevich was fined 3,600,000 Belarusian roubles (10,059 Norwegian kroner, 1,215 Euros or 1,654 US dollars) on 28 December for similarly organising "illegal" worship. Yurevich lodged a formal protest when the public procuracy refused to take up an appeal against the fine, which is approximately 150 times the monthly minimum wage (see F18News 29 December 2004 http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=480). While members of New Life's 600-strong congregation argue that no one can be considered the organiser of their meetings since "each person attends of their own initiative and free will," the procuracy maintains that there are "no grounds" to doubt the testimonies of three police officers that resulted in Yurevich's prosecution.
As a last resort, New Life Church has been worshipping at a disused cowshed in Minsk's Moscow district ever since being barred from renting a public "house of culture" in September 2004. As Yurevich told procuracy officials in December, the church was earlier refused requests to rent public facilities by district administrations throughout Minsk. The 2002 religion law requires state permission for religious gatherings in premises not specially designed for worship.
After New Life bought the disused cowshed in 2002, all official agencies approved requests to change the designated land usage to that of a church except for the religious affairs department of Minsk city administration. Without this necessary approval, New Life Church was refused re-registration at the address of the cowshed as soon as the religion law's 16 November 2004 deadline for compulsory re-registration expired. On 30 December the church received a first official warning based upon Yurevich's prosecution. Under the 2002 religion law, a second warning would be sufficient to ban the church.
According to Pastor Goncharenko, a land use commission conducted a survey of the former cowshed on 16 February with a view to proving that the church's renovation work had altered the purpose of the building. On 3 February, he told Forum 18, special police attempted to seal the building, but were prevented by church members. At a meeting with head of Moscow district Yevgeni Dukor on 7 February, said Goncharenko, Dukor refused to look at correspondence between the church and Minsk city administration, insisting that only the latter could grant permission for services at the cowshed. On 10 February church members sent a letter to Minsk city administration demanding permission to use the cowshed as a church and to reconstruct it, as well as re-registration at its address.
According to a New Life Church report, on 31 January Pastor Goncharenko met the head of Minsk city administration's religious affairs department, Alla Ryabitseva, who said that the church could re-register at its previous address but would have to obtain permission from Moscow district administration to hold services at the cowshed. Told that the church had not managed to do this in over five months, she reportedly recommended pursuing the issue via an expert council.
Pastor Goncharenko told Forum 18 that, while Minsk city administration indeed had an expert council qualified to resolve general issues, after four years' negative experience of the city administration the church believed the latest proposal to be "just another excuse to deprive us of what we have - they wouldn't let you have snow in winter". The church's previous legal address, a workshop, was technically no different from the cowshed in not being specially designed for worship, Goncharenko pointed out, adding that the church's situation should be easy to solve. "Many buildings in Minsk change usage without any fuss – a cafeteria becomes a casino overnight."
Speaking to Forum 18 on 17 February, head of Minsk city administration religious affairs department maintained that there were two reasons why it was impossible to obtain permission to change the use of the cowshed. Firstly, said Alla Ryabitseva, plans to build a suburb on the area newly incorporated into Moscow district would mean that the building would be taken down. "So what if it's their property? They knew what they were buying and should never have bought it."
Secondly, she argued, the building was intended to be a cowshed and "you can only keep cows in a cowshed". When Forum 18 asked why it was impossible to change the building's usage, she maintained that this was due to the plans for a new suburb. When Forum 18 confessed not to understand how these were connected, she replied: "Well, write that then, that you don't understand."
Again asked why it was impossible to change the use of a cowshed, Ryabitseva replied, "read our laws". Asked which particular law forbade the conversion of cowsheds, she claimed only to deal with the religion law. "Read Article 25 – that says exactly where you can pray and where you can't." Told that it did not mention cowsheds, she retorted: "It doesn't say you can't pray in casinos either, but people don't pray in casinos!"
Questioned about a disused railway carriage 500 metres (yards) away from the cowshed which New Life reports is used by an Orthodox community – and which was mistakenly visited by police sent to inspect the charismatic congregation last November – Ryabitseva maintained that the parish was not worshipping in the carriage but had four years earlier acquired land at the site "in the proper manner" where an Orthodox church would be built as part of the new suburb. There was nothing unusual about Belarusian planning regulations, she insisted. "I've been to Norway twice – you can't grow bushes higher than 60 centimetres there."
Forum 18 therefore asked whether New Life would be given compensation and an alternative site once plans for the new suburb went ahead. The church would be compensated for the 70 per cent of the cowshed that, in her view, remained in its original state, said Ryabitseva, as well as the land. "Although if they carry on behaving in the way they have been we can take the land away from them too." (END)

Why Brands Need to Focus on Propensity, Not Personas
by Jonathan Zajicek, 19 Jun 2019
Propensity modeling gives you personas that are more likely to convert — and a smarter, more efficient marketing effort.
Before You Do Any More Marketing Research, Stop!
Every brand is looking for a better, smarter silver bullet that will help them crack the code of reaching their customers. The only problem is: silver bullets rarely work…or at least they never work out as well as they were supposed to.
If you really want to better understand your customers — and, more importantly, which customers you should be spending time and budget speaking to — you need to segment your customer file based on propensity. It helps you determine exactly when you should be targeting a customer or prospect, something no persona could even dream of doing.
Why Propensity Modeling?
Propensity modeling is a statistical calculation performed on your existing customer data that allows you to identify people who are most likely to respond to an action (offer, cross-sell, marketing touch etc). At a high level, propensity modeling gives you the data to do three really important things:
- Improve your marketing efficiency
- Develop a more segmented messaging strategy
- Create a better lookalike prospecting audience
How Propensity Improves your Marketing Efficiency
A great propensity model helps you determine the combination of attributes that make someone a great target for your message. This data can immediately improve the efficiency of your marketing programs because it doesn't just tell you who the best targets are, it also shows you who the worst targets are.
That equates to whole swaths of impressions you don't have to buy anymore. Tons and tons of creative versioning you no longer have to do because the model has shown you who is not likely to convert.
How the Model Develops More Segmented Messaging Naturally
The holy grail of most marketing departments today is the dream of personalized marketing: getting the right message to the right person at the right time.
But in order to craft the right message, you have to know what differentiates your audiences.
By building a propensity model, the attributes that matter naturally surface. And as the model grows and expands, it unearths the segments of your audience that are unique and shows you which defining characteristics make them unique.
How Data Partners Turn Your Segments into Incredible Lookalike Audiences
Now, that's all great for turning your existing customers into even better customers, but how does propensity modeling give you a better way to target prospects?
Once you've identified the right customers and segmented them, you can build lookalike audiences. A data partner like Experian is brought in to match your segments to targetable, prospecting audiences matched back to that perfect combination of attributes.
It makes retargeting a lookalike audience based on website visitors look like child's play.
Start with The Right Foundation
Propensity modeling is a huge opportunity for companies today — especially those who are feeling budgetary pressures and are looking for more intelligent ways to make marketing decisions.
As marketers, we all understand the importance of putting the right foundation in place. Understanding your customers and your target audience comes first, and there is no more data-driven, evidence-backed way to do that than propensity modeling.

Bexhill and Battle MP, Huw Merriman, has welcomed an announcement from the Department of Transport which could lead to the introduction of fines for motorists who park on pavements.
In London, parking on a pavement has been a breach of the Highway Code for more than 40 years and can lead to a parking ticket being issued unless the road has been exempted.
The Department of Transport has now signalled that a Government review will consider extending these powers outside of the capital.
The MP has called for more powers to be introduced in the Bexhill and Battle constituency in a bid to tackle the problem.
Mr Merriman said: "Last year, I wrote to the Roads Minister asking for this power to be extended to the high streets in my constituency where inconsiderate parking is making it difficult for pedestrians to use pavements.
"This is a dangerous practice and, in Bexhill in particular, there are a number of drivers who have absolutely no consideration for others and will only stop if it hits them in the pocket."
Last year, Mr Merriman spent time walking blindfolded around Bexhill town centre with a guide dog.
This experience was organised for him by Guide Dogs for the Blind which wanted to highlight the problem of pavement parking.
Mr Merriman said: "Those most impacted by anti-social pavement parking tend to be those who have disabilities or are with young children.
"I have contacted the Roads Minister to support the review and I look forward to meeting him when Parliament returns in order to lobby for safer streets in our communities."
It is not clear if the changes would apply to the 15 local authorities in the UK, which include Rother and Wealden, where parking fines can only be issued by the police rather than local authority traffic wardens.
The MP added: "As welcome as it would be to have new powers to fine those who are parking on pavements, we need to make sure that we have civil powers to enforce all parking offences.
"If civil enforcement was introduced to Rother then we could not only enforce new powers but existing offences as well.
"Enforcement is badly needed to free up parking spaces and deliver safer streets.
"This would reduce congestion and encourage more shoppers to our high streets."

How does Access Rules work on Aruba Central?
12-18-2015 07:56 AM - edited 12-18-2015 08:14 AM
Can't seem to make Access Rules work with Aruba Central, I basically choose my rules, order them from top to bottom (Top rules, basically deny youtube, etc... I left bottom, allow any destination). I want to make this work on my Guest SSID, but every time I save this config I cannot seem to get ping or access to http. If I move the allow any destination on top of the list.. I got access..
I manage to get this work on Instant AP without cloud, so I thought it was the same kind of configuration used on Aruba Central.
Any thoughts about this? any hint will be appreciate it.. thanks!

the lazy doctor
November 30, 2010 Leave a comment
At half past three on a bitterly cold November afternoon, Ned parked his car, crossed the road and walked over to the doctor's surgery. It had taken him about four weeks to enrol and get a non-urgent appointment. It wasn't urgent, but it was definitely worth an appointment. It wasn't normal.
Some mornings he felt as if he was being hung by his ankles. Some nights he felt like his head was a large, overworked hotel with endless drainage problems. Cotton buds came out warm and wet, without even the gratification of mulchy orange. They always felt disproportionately good.
He saw the plumes of his freezing breath one last time before stepping inside to the relative warmth of the surgery waiting room. Ahead of him at the reception desk was a confident mother. She had a transatlantic drawl and a pram of barely visible newborns, tucked snugly in their cribs as if they barely noticed they were no longer in the womb. It looked nice in there, Ned thought; that level of sheer oblivion, total ignorance.
"Next Thursday at four then?!" the new mother said, cheerful and glowing with the permanent attention a pram of that size must bring. "Bye for now!" Ned had to step back a few inches to allow her to manoeuvre around. "Ooh, sorry!" she said.
"S'ok," Ned answered. "Quite jealous," he said, nodding faintly at the tiny packages.
She smiled, wheeling it past, "well you can always come round and look after them!" With that, she disappeared out of the door, leaving Ned perplexed. That was a strange thing to say, he thought, but I was jealous of the babies, he thought, not you. Silly woman.
He turned round to see he'd been cut up in the queue for the receptionist. A young plump girl of around 18 and her tall young goth boyfriend, who wore make-up. She had queries about an appointment and he wanted to know if he needed immunisations to go to Gran Canaria, but it wasn't his home surgery. The flittering receptionist wasn't confident enough to tell him whether they were necessary so suggested that he check with his home surgery.
Finally Ned won the receptionist's attention. He gave his name and she told him he could have checked in using the interactive screen at the door. He hadn't seen the screen at the door. "Saves time you see," she explained. "But I know it's interesting to wait in the queue sometimes."
"Oh, yes," Ned said. "It's been fascinating today. Thanks." The only person in the room, he took a seat and opened his book.
A large, overweight old man entered the waiting room, wearing a large coat and flat cap. He was well known to the receptionist, Ned presumed, given their obvious familiarity and how are you todays. Every step the old man took was an effort requiring large gulps of air. Ned thought he could hear the folds of his huge jacket crumpling with each movement. He had that aura of wanting or needing to talk. Perhaps it happens more with the elderly bereaved, he reasoned. Even so Ned willed the old man not to sit near him, not to start talking to him. He couldn't be bothered. He had immediately judged that the old man was an unsympathetic showman.
He felt a small twinge of guilt at that judgement, but not much.
The old man sat down opposite Ned, eventually. He made a show of placing his takeaway cup of tea on the window ledge and taking his huge coat off, folding it in half and putting it on the seat next to him, puffing all the way, and commentating his progress with fragments of sentences. "Just put that there… there we go.. fold that up.. now.. ahhh." He slurped at his tea. "Yaahhh!" he whispered lightly, to himself but not really to himself, "that's hot, that." Ned felt he was being urged to look up from his book, just to glance at the man opposite and engage. But if he did that the old man might never stop talking.
Minutes passed.
"What's that?!" the old man said, wanting to be heard by Ned. Speaking to him. "What's that book?" Ned looked up at the old man and smiled. The book was a debauched novel about an extremely badly behaved, sex-obsessed character. So he told him as much.
"Ahh, s'life I suppose," the old man shrugged, unmoved. It was the only cue he needed. "Want someone to write the story of my life, I do."
Ned raised his eyebrows, he wouldn't give him any line at all.
"Because I've had some life, I have."
Ned smiled.
"Went to give this reading down the theatre with me mate."
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah. There was no bugger there. Weren't going to hang round talking to nobody."
The kindly electronic voice called Ned's name to Surgery 2 please.
"Seeya," Ned said.
The Doctor was young (too young) and smiley and blank and had an annoying lisp. "Thum people jutht thweat more than others," she explained. And that was it. Not only was it insubstantial and lazy, it made Ned feel as if he was a nervous, profusely sweating, guilty paedophile. He wasn't. He just had sweaty ears.
There was a long pause. She smiled again, nothing going on inside. Doctors were supposed to be clever, generously paid, conscientious, do loads of training.
"That's it then?" Ned asked. "No other ideas or suggestions or anything?"
"No, not really. Thorry. Itsth jutht that thum peop-"
"-sweat more than others, ok. Well, thanks."
Ned stood up and moved swiftly towards the door, wanting to make it clear he was unhappy. She could have at least done a search online, or using whatever directory they had. At least shown she was engaging, looking, thinking.
It was a completely wasted half an hour of his life, Ned thought. He probably had a brain aneurysm and would die at any moment. He walked back towards his car and his left ear began to itch.

GRAND LAKE, Colo. – The Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association announced its all-region selections and six members of the No. 2 Salisbury University women's lacrosse team were honored , the organization announced Tuesday.
Seniors Katie Bollhorst and Lauren Feusahrens, juniors Meghan Toomey and Ashton Wheatley, and sophomores Bethany Baer and Laura Maskell were named to the All-Chesapeake Region first team. The same group was named the All-CAC first team, as well.
As the conductor of the offensive machine, Bollhorst has racked up a team-high 88 points so far this season. The Severna Park, Md., native leads the team with 51 assists and is second on the team with 37 goals. Her assist total puts her sixth in a single season in Salisbury history. For her career, Bollhorst has dished out 160 assists and sits atop the program's all-time leaderboard for helpers.
Feusahrens has played the role of finisher, netting a team-high 51 goals this season and is second on the team with 60 points. The Solomons, Md., native is currently fifth all-time in goals scored at SU. The attacker sits just outside the top 10 in program history for points, with 183 points during her time at Salisbury.
Toomey is a key cog in the defensive third for the maroon and gold, leading the team with 26 caused turnovers. She is fourth on the team with 30 ground balls collected. The Annapolis, Md., native is also key to the SU clearing game, getting the ball from the defensive third into the offensive zone, with the Sea Gulls clearing the zone successfully 91.4 percent of the time this season.
Wheatley is again this year ranked as one of the top goalies in the nation, sitting second among Division III netminders with a 5.69 goals-against average. She leads the squad with 35 ground balls and is fifth on the team with 15 caused turnovers. The Cambridge, Md., native is currently at eighth on the all-time saves leaderboard in program history with 241 shots turned away.
Baer is a force all around the field. She is third on the team with 48 points, posting 33 goals and 15 assists, good for third second on the squad, respectively. The Westminster, Md., native leads the team with 37 draw controls, is second on the team with 34 ground balls and third on the squad with 22 caused turnovers.
Maskell has blossomed in her second season on the team, a major reason the team being third in the nation with a 5.33 goals-against average and second in the nation with an 11.17 scoring margin. She is second on the team with 24 caused turnovers and third on the squad with 33 ground balls picked up.
Salisbury begins its postseason run today as the Sea Gulls will host Cabrini College in the opening round of the NCAA women's lacrosse tournament. The game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., at Sea Gull Stadium.

Mark Robson, best-selling author of 'swords-and-sorcery' style
adventures for children, visited Bolton School Boys' Division to
share with the pupils what it takes to be a successful author and
publisher, and to show them that sheer hard work can get you
Mark spoke to Year 7 and 8 pupils about his life as a Royal Air
Force pilot and how he went from this to being an author. When
speaking about his life and career so far Mark's energy and
enthusiasm inspired confidence in the boys by showing them that
through setting goals, personal motivation and hard work, anything
is possible. He spoke of how he started writing his first novel in
1995 due to a throwaway line when he was bored in the Falkland
Islands as the weather was too bad to do any flying. Mark's
restlessness at the lack of activity prompted his navigator to say
"Oh for goodness sake do something useful. Go write a book or
something!" Never one to back down from a challenge, Mark made a
deal that he would write the Prologue to a book and if the
navigator liked it, then Mark would write the rest of the book.
Three days later, the Prologue to The Forging of the Sword was
dutifully handed over to a positive response and The Darkweaver
Legacy was born. Mark spoke of how, after numerous rejections from
Publishers, he decided to publish his own book and learned how to
market it, never giving up until it was successful and he was
eventually signed with a Publishing House and became the successful
author he is today.
In the afternoon, Mark ran a Publishing Workshop with Year 9
boys, designed to give them an insight into some of the different
disciplines that go into producing and marketing a book. Boys split
into four teams, each taking on a different role in the publishing
process - editing, proof reading, artwork and marketing. The
editorial team were given the first chapter of one of Mark's books
and asked to say why it didn't work and how it could be changed,
the proof reading team were given a later draft of the chapter and
asked to correct any mistakes, the artwork team had to design a
front cover and explain why they thought it would help attract
readers to the book, and the marketing team had to work out
effective ways of selling the book, including exact costing of
advertising. Mark offered the boys guidance throughout the session
and at the end each team presented their findings and ideas.
Mark was pleased with how the boys managed to reproduce what a
publishing house does, particularly how the editorial team even
managed to come to the same conclusion as his own editorial team in
terms of what should happen in chapter one!
Mr Richard Griffiths, Head of English, said: "The boys had a
fantastic day and learned a lot from Mark as he is an interesting
motivational speaker as well as an author. He taught them not only
about what it takes to write and publish a book but also about
having a can do mentality in life - the importance of working hard
and never giving up on something you want. The day was
cross-curricular in many ways as boys used English, Design, and
Marketing skills, as well as gaining useful advice on pursuing a
career that interests them."
Mark is now working on a new trilogy that will mark a distinct
departure from his previous work. The Devil's Triangle will be an
unusual mix of contemporary drama meeting science fiction thriller.
The first of these is currently scheduled to release in April

On my second day in Paris, I took a stroll along another not-to-miss-street: Rue Montorgueil. I was there early (read: 9 on a weekday morning), having missed an opportunity to dine at Claus for breakfast.
I have read only positive reviews of Claus, a "breakfast-grocery" shop nestled in the 1st arrondissement. As grocer, Claus offers a small selection of gourmet breakfast products including gluten-free options (jams, tea, cereals, rice pudding). The dine-in menu at Claus features their house-made muesli, yogurts, eggs, sandwiches, fresh juices, and a variety of baked delights including cakes and scones. Claus is small (seating about 16), and even on a weekday morning was all out of seats by the time I had arrived. Disappointing, but I will just have to add it to my list for the next time I'm in Paris (with a note to make reservations!).
|Stohrer, one of Paris' oldest barkeries
January is the month for winter sales in Paris. Most everywhere you go, you will see "Soldes" signs splashed across shop windows. I headed to St-Germain-des-Pres for some shopping on my last day in Paris. The area abounds with shops, from fashion boutiques to trendy accessories shops to luxe home stores. As is always the case, a few hours spent shopping meant I was ready for a meal.
Lunch was at Les Relais de'l Entrecôte, a short walk from the main shopping streets of the 6th. Entrecôte is a Parisian steakhouse; its interior is that of a classic French brasserie complete with banquette seating and wooden tables that are covered in brightly colored tablecloths (red, blue, green, yellow). The waitresses wear a classic uniform of black dress and white apron. The restaurant has a no-reservation policy and there is often a queue of people waiting to dine for lunch and dinner. Having arrived at noon on a cold winter weekday, however, I was seated immediately, although the restaurant filled up quickly over the hour I was there.
Entrecôte has a set menu for lunch and dinner -- steak frites -- and restaurant goers are given only a few options for their meal: how they would like their steak prepared (well done, medium, or rare; nothing in-between), and their choice of beverage and dessert. Having read about the restaurant, I had come knowing what to expect, though I can't say I was fully prepared: after some translation difficulties, which my waitress resolved by enlisting the help of someone who spoke English, I managed to order my steak "medium."
The meal was delicious! A salad (field greens tossed with a tangy mustard vinaigrette and topped with chopped walnuts) was brought out first, moments later followed by the steak, which was presented in four strips, cooked perfectly, and smothered with a tasty sauce poivre which I soaked the frites in. Halfway through the meal, a surprise: the waitress came by with a "refill" of more steak and frites! Alas, I had absolutely no room for dessert after cleaning my plate.
After a bit more shopping, I made one final stop before leaving St-Germain-des-Pres: an afternoon tea break at Mamie Gauteaux.

Bread Loaf's Three Campuses
The Bread Loaf summer session takes place in three different locations, running more or less concurrently. Each campus has its own distinctive character, and its own fees, calendar, faculty, and courses.
Bread Loaf students, including first-year students, may attend any of Bread Loaf's three campuses, and they may attend different campuses in different summers. The single residency requirement is that students pursuing a degree must spend at least one summer at the home campus in Vermont.
See the individual campus pages for more information.
The ride to the Bread Loaf campus in Vermont in the fall:
Listen to an interview with Princeton Professor of English and Bread Loaf faculty member Jeffrey Nunokawa.

I miss him already! I need my Cave Bear fix!
He was like a solid 20% of the traffic of this forum.Baruch being 30% and the rest of us making up the other half.
Yeah, think how lonely poor Baruch must be!
I miss him already! I need my Cave Bear fix, think how lonely poor Baruch must be!
I have long suspected Cavebear was wrestling with some type of forum obsession that he was unable to control. He bragged on several occasions how he had Baruch on ignore, but then he would respond frequently enough to suggest he wasn't ignoring Baruch at all. Then a couple of months ago, he started disappearing for a week or so. But some mornings I would enter the forum's "recent topics" page, and be confronted by a wall of Cavebear's posts responding to everything that could fit on the page, mostly to Baruch, since Baruch dominates the "recent topics" page, anyway. He was even responding to Baruch's most pointless and inane drivel. At that time, I was quite sure that Cavebear had lost control of his struggle. He was no longer choosing his own path, but had become obsessed, and he knew it.
The others, besides me, need to hold up their end, to engage you more.
You may have more potential to keep participants engaged than you think. When you treat subjects seriously you are very good. When you treat serious subjects as jokes in your apparent vague depression, it ruins discussions and makes you seem less than you really are.I try to engage seriously. I fail sometimes, but always and only when I fall to the sophomoric in your posts. I'll easily admit that I do love to make fun, joke, and play word games but only when you pull me in that direction. I would prefer to stay a bit more serious and make a few humorous comments when the situation calls for it.Do better and I will too...
Last time I held up my end it got kicked! LOL

What happens when you bump into an old friend and co-star at a party? You talk sequels. And really exciting ones, like Wedding Crashers 2.
Aussie star Isla Fisher dropped the news on 'The Today Show' on Thursday after chatting with her co-star, Vince Vaughan.
"I bumped into him and he said that apparently we're going to be making a sequel. I'm really excited to see what happens to Gloria!" Fisher said.
When asked whether the news was a done deal, Fisher said "apparently there's talk of it. Which is fun."
Take from that what you will.
Our fave wedding crashers (Vince Vaughan, Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams and Fisher) ended up driving into the sunset with their significant others at the end of the first film.
We can only imagine what will happen next. A four-way wedding crash, anyone?

Emily Meinhardt is a freshman majoring in Agricultural Communications and Animal Science and Industry as well as minoring in Leadership Studies. She chose these majors because agriculture is a big part of her life, but she also wants to be able to show her creativity in her future career.
"It is important for me to pursue a future career that would combine my creativity, my love of agriculture and my people skills," Meinhardt said. "I realized that majoring in Ag Communications and Animal Science would allow me to best utilize my personal strengths."
Meinhardt has always had a big passion for leadership. After taking LEAD 212, an introduction to leadership class, she knew that she wanted to minor in Leadership Studies.
"After taking LEAD 212, I began looking at leadership in different ways. This class gave me a broader outlook on how people interact and how to make an organization or just a group people work more efficiently together," Meinhardt said.
On campus, Meinhardt is involved in Block and Bridle, an organization for students interested in animal agriculture. This past year she has served as a rookie representative and she has been elected to serve as the treasurer for next year. She enjoys being a member of Block and Bridle because she has made new friendships and she has become involved in the different activities the club organizes.
"The speakers at meetings have given me a broader outlook on the livestock industry and have increased my knowledge," Meinhardt said. "I like how the club schedules both activity meetings and business meetings because it has given me both social and educational opportunities."
Meinhardt has coordinated American Red Cross Blood Drives, as well as worked for Catholic Heart Work Camp where she assisted with basic home repairs and helped children with disabilities. She was also a Bulldog Buddies Mentor at her high school where she assisted her buddy with classwork and helped with fundraising projects.
Someone who has positively impacted her college experience is Alexis McCormick. When they first met on philanthropy day during Primary Recruitment, they automatically clicked and became friends. Since then, Emily has become Alexis's little. Alexis has helped Emily with the transition from high school to college, from helping her find her classes to being there when she misses her family.
"Alexis always has given me the best advice whether it was about school or just everyday life. If I encounter an obstacle, Alexis is right there to help me through it. She made me feel immediately welcome here at Theta," Meinhardt said.
Meinhardt chose Theta because it was where she felt most comfortable and at home. She also knew a lot about Theta since her mother and two aunts are also Thetas.
"During the week of Primary Recruitment, every time I came to Theta it felt like home. The girls wanted to get to know the real you. But the ideals and Theta's initiative to always strive to make each sister the best person they can be is what locked me in," Meinhardt said.
This summer, Meinhardt plans of working at the Kansas Department of Agriculture, along with attending many cattle shows and the Hereford Junior Nationals in Louisville, KY.

I have been dreaming for a long time about converting our laundry room/mud room closet to something like this.
The House of Smiths
site is one that you definitely need to check out. This beauty of a
front hall closet is from their site. After seeing this picture I am
determined that one day (hopefully sooner than later) we will convert
our closet that is just not functional into this beauty.
Honey's (I pluralize a lot of words, not sure why but I do, it adds to
my charm). Where was I? Oh right, Honey's when you read this, start
getting ready. This is our next big project, after the basement, after
the office, after the kitchen...well who knows what order we are going
to tackle these projects but the closet is officially on the list!

Why does he keep writing about himself in the third person?
BORN? Yes. In the East End of London where he still lives today. Grew up loving comics and cartoons because he didn't go out much or the big kids got him.
IN HIS TEENS he changed from a mild mannered schoolboy to a slightly unconvincing punk rocker. By age 15 he was writing and drawing a satirical comic strip for a local newspaper. By age 16 he was performing ranting poetry and comedy sketches with other local misfits.
LEFT SCHOOL EARLY and tried to get jobs at London animation studios. Failed. John Halas at Halas and Batchelor said Alan's drawings were too aggressive. "Grrr" said Alan, but slightly unconvincingly.
GAVE UP ON ANIMATION but continued to draw cartoons and perform plays and sketches with his friends until he was commissioned by proper theatres with scenery and stuff. Ended up as working as a community drama worker on the Isle Of Dogs doing large scale, site specific plays with hundreds of local people and no production budgets whatsoever.
FAST FORWARD TWENTY YEARS. With many theatre shows, radio plays and extra pounds under his belt Alan was gigging on the London comedy club circuit as half of a musical double act. There he met Dave Freedman, an American with big ambitions, cowboy boots and the same love of cartoons. They decided to form a writing partnership and take the world of animation by storm.
FAST FORWARD TEN YEARS. O.K. It wasn't a storm, but it did rain a lot. Peafur Productions ( the company they formed ) scripted projects that went on to win many awards. Alan and Dave created original content for major studios on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as several series of their own. They didn't have much time to draw, but the fact they both did sure helped. Take that John Halas. Grrr!
BUT ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END and, following an amicable parting of the ways, Alan is scripting solo Specialising in show development and script consultancy his current work includes several high profile projects for major clients, as well as new shows of his own.
Now well known in the UK industry Alan is a judge for the British Animation Awards and a consultant on Channel Four's 'Animator In Residence' scheme and 'Mesh' schemes. He also runs screenwriting workshops at many festivals and colleges. These unique 'Animation Work-outs' are silly, short, but highly effective crash courses in screenwriting basics, using lots of drama games and sniggering. In fact they're the same techniques Alan used to inflict on the residents of the Isle of Dogs.
He still performs himself each Sunday, leading acclaimed alternative history walks around the East End.

Yes, I raised a girl. At our Lewiston GardenFest, I purchased a caterpillar Monarch to raise and release in my garden. That was June 19th.
I took photos of the caterpillar, but must have erased them from the camera before I downloaded them. So no cute, little caterpillar photos.
How I got the photos was my little bundle of joy was an escape artist and found a way out of the netting. I caught her on the outside of the netting and carefully returned her to the Swamp milkweed plant inside the enclosure. She was a caterpillar for only two days of the time I had her. She spun a silk pad on which to hang and split open to reveal the chrysalis she would inhabit. I missed that process unfortunately as it happened after the sun went down.
During the evening she became a chrysalis, and a few mornings later from the liquid inside, you could just barely see the formation of wings starting to develop.
This image above and below was a few days later with wings almost completely formed. By the next morning, June 29 th., she was out flapping around inside the netting. I so wanted to see her emerge, but forgot about her after taking the chrysalis photos.
I really am losing my edge. I know previously, I would have made sure to sit and watch.
She was raised on Asclepias incarnata, like above, her little chrysalis hanging from a leaf. The orange butterfly weed below was where I set her free in the garden.
I decided since it was a bright sunny day with no breeze to release her to the flower-filled garden. She made a few passes to various flowers, then settled on the daylily bud to warm her wings.
She did scare me twice by clumsily flying off across the street, circling back to return to the garden both times. I did not want her plastered on a passing car windshield or flattened on the parkway.
By 1pm, she was gone, maybe on her way to Canada, or so I would like to think.

WASHINGTON, D.C.-- With less than 48 hours until Election Day, the already-tumultuous presidential race saw another dramatic development.
FBI Director James Comey sent another letter to members of Congress, saying that after an expedited review of new emails, he is upholding his initial decision that Hillary Clinton should not face charges related to her use of a personal email server while Secretary of State.
This decision comes just two days before the election, and 9 days after Comey's last letter to Congress, when he alerted members that the FBI was scrutinizing newly discovered emails, pertaining to the ongoing investigation into former Representative Anthony Weiner's emails.
Comey says his department has reviewed all emails sent to and from Clinton. A spokesman for the candidate responded, saying the Clinton campaign always believed she would be cleared of any wrongdoing.
Donald Trump discredited that finding, while campaigning in Sioux City, Iowa this afternoon, saying the FBI didn't have enough time to review all emails. Trump said, "There is little doubt that FBI Director Comey and the great special agents within the FBI will be able to collect more than enough evidence to garner indictments against Hillary Clinton and her inner circle, despite her effort to disparage and discredit the FBI."
The Des Moines Register now has Trump polling ahead of Clinton by 7 points here in Iowa. This poll was just released yesterday.

My dad celebrated his birthday this past weekend and like any great dad he celebrated by helping my husband Kevin build a deck.
So like a good daughter I decided that alone was worth a pan of brownies just for him. Now my dad is a fan of very dark chocolate, in fact the darker the better in his opinion, so I wanted to make a dark chocolate brownie for him to enjoy.
Now I'm familiar with the concept of using stout beers to enhance the overall flavour of chocolate baking and I decided that this would be the time to experiment as my mission was to produce the darkest brownies I'd ever made before. Bolstered with my recent success using Rickard's White in my Chicken Fajitas I decided to go with the Rickard's Dark as my beer and began to assemble my experiment.
I dusted the recipe my mother calls "Worth the migraine" (chocolate gives her migraines) and decided to play with it.
I started with assembling my flavour quartet which ended up being Rickard's Dark, 6 ounces of 70% cacao in 1 ounce chocolate squares, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and dark chocolate chips made from 50% cacao.
I started with combining my flour and cocoa. You could add a 1/4 teaspoon of salt at this point but I held it back as I was using salted butter in the recipe. My dad suffers from high blood pressure so I knew that leaving the salt out would be a good idea and I was counting on the beer to enhance what I was trying to accomplish.
While preparing my chocolate and butter for melting I realized I needed 8 ounces of the chocolate squares and I only had 6. So I brought out my kitchen scale and used some semi sweet chips to make up the short fall of 2 ounces. Also used the semi sweet chocolate here because I felt the 50% cacao would be perfect sprinkled on top to add a melted chocolate component to every bite.
Now I found I had two road blocks to my melting chocolate.
1) I have failed more than once in my attempts to make melted chocolate without having the chocolate seize on me so I was concerned I couldn't get the chocolate the way I needed it.
2) I lack a proper double boiler.
For #1 all I could do was take it slow as I attempt to melt and be sure to whisk continuously.
For #2 I took one of my metal mixing bowls and kept placing them on the bottom pot of my steamer set until I found one that fit nicely and then set the water to boil. Once it was boiling I placed the bowl on the top of the pot and started furiously whisking my chocolate and butter while they melted. Once I have it completely melted I pulled the bowl off and it kept the chocolate warm until I wanted to add it to my egg and sugar mixture.
Another lesson learned from this recipe was how to bring eggs to room temperature Usually you would bring them out overnight but trust Kevin to tell me that if I placed my eggs in lukewarm water for 30 mins or so they would be room temperature.
The reasons that the eggs should be at least room temp becomes clear with this next step…
With the warm chocolate being combined with the eggs and sugar you definitely didn't want your eggs to start cooking.
After adding the chocolate to the eggs/sugar and combining them I added the flour and cocoa mixture.
Finally I poured in my beer…
And it foamed up like crazy at me as I turned on the mixer and there was a small wave of beer over the edge of the bowl but in the end I had this lovely batter shown above.
I am still loving the parchment paper trick of lining my baking pan with at least 2 inches of parchment up over the sides of the pan for easy removal from the baking pan and a clean pan when you are done.
I didn't get to taste this creation as my dad got to take the whole pan home. It was his birthday after all. But he did share with me that they were cake like in texture, which is the perfect brownie texture in his opinion, and very rich and moist.
I named these brownies after the new Star Trek movie coming out this week in honour of my dad being a long time Trekkie fan.

Welcome, Bonjour
My little westie's; Cassie, Sophie ( 2005-2018), Zara and I love what we do. We have the best job in the world, where another day at the "office" means walking and playing with dogs.
We are located in the heart of Ottawa's Centretown area surrounded by dog parks and the pathways of the Canal. We don't have to go far to enjoy a game of fetch in the park, or a nice walk.
With park time, walks and games, your dog will be stimulated both mentally and physically. We are committed to making their time with us, fun and stress free. Our home is smoke free with a fireplace to cuddle up to in the cold of winter and air conditioning for those hot summers.
I am certified in Canine First Aid and CPR and we happily accept conventional and holistic treated dogs.
We are your dogs home away from home, so come join our family.
We look forward to meeting you.
Nous nous réjouissons de vous recontrer.

Festival-goers are used to braving rain, but this year's Glastonbury crowds may be grateful for breezy conditions to power a giant mobile phone charger.
Orange is installing the seven-metre high renewable energy recharge "pod" at the event. Featuring a wind generator and solar panels to harness the weather, the unit will enable people at Glastonbury to keep their phones working during the three-day event.
The free service follows trials of small, individual portable wind chargers which were tested at last year's festival.
According to Orange, the pod will be secure because each phone will be stored in a locker while recharging, with the owner keeping the key. The pod, developed with renewable energy experts Gotwind, can charge up to 100 phones per hour.
The company is using the pod as a trial of renewable energy options with a view to ultimately powering elements of the Chill n' Charge tent at future Glastonbury festivals.
A Glastonbury spokesman said: "Glastonbury Festival prides itself on being the first festival to host alternative solutions to environmental concerns – the Orange recharge Pod is a great initiative that supports Love The Farm, Leave No Trace and encourages people to open their eyes to the many practical uses of renewable energy."
Hattie Magee, Orange UK Head of Partnerships, said the company was proud to have been the official communications partner of Glastonbury for more than 10 years.
The pod will be within the Pennard Hill camping grounds at Glastonbury, which takes place at Worthy Farm, Pilton, from June 27-29.

United Kingdom (1935)
Light tank – 22 built
The first British three-man light tank
The previous Light Tank Mark IV was the last two-man Light Tank, since it appeared clearly in exercises that the commander was overloaded. He was at the same time gunner, loader, radioman and had to take decisions and monitor the battlefield, sometimes even directing others when asked for. There was no real option as to how to drop one of these tasks. A third crew member was indispensable, like in other "scaled-up" tanks of the British Army. This imposed a brand new design of an enlarged tank, which would ultimately serve as a testbed for the mass-produced Light Mark VI. The L3E1 was the initial prototype, tested in 1934.
Although the drivetrain and chassis were similar to the former Mark IV, the hull was widened, heightened and lengthened, and the new turret was larger, rounder, with sloping sides. The turret ball race counted 213 ball bearings and it was held in place by six clips. At the bottom was a pedestal containing the radio batteries, ammunition and gunner's seat. The latter also operated the radio, although the well-loped turret's rear made it difficult for a radio to fit. The gunner used his shoulder to elevate the two independent Besa machine-guns, one ZB.53 (7.92 mm) and one heavy ZB.60 (15 mm) machine-guns, which gave the vehicle some antitank capability. There was a sighting scope with one scale for each gun.
The commander had a rounded cupola of the "bishop's miter" type. To allow larger fuel tanks to be fitted at the rear, this part was lengthened. A single return roller was placed just above the front coil spring arm. Components and tracks were the same as previously used on the Mark I. Overall these choices appeared judicious. A three-man crew also spread the maintenance load. The top speed was reduced, but the range was undiminished.
Twin 15 mm (0.59 in) AA Besa machine-guns or quad AA machine-guns in a Boulton & Paul turret (same type mounted in the 1938 Defiant fighter) were mounted on one or two separate Mk.V light tanks. These paved the way for the following Mk.I AA tank, which had quad 7.92 mm/0.31 in Besa machine-guns mounted on the Mk.VIA chassis.
The Mark V AA prototypes pioneered these series. An experimental antitank version was also tried with a 2pdr (40 mm/1.58 in) fit in an open-top turret, and another fitted the same gun in a large, sloping back turret. Other tested various technical modifications, like receiving an extra bogie wheel and longer track, a continuous rubber track, a Perkins diesel engine, revised turret bustle for radio, wireless box, no top rollers configuration, or without "Bishop's Mitre" cupola.
The Light Tank Mark V in action
In 1934, twelve prototypes of the Light Tank Mk.V were sent to the 1st Light Battalion Royal Tank Corps for testing. A first for the development of British tanks, a team of mechanics from Vickers-Armstrong lived with the Battalion during the trials, allowing manufacturer and end user to directly communicate. However, this wasn't often repeated in the future. In 1940, some were shipped to France, to operate as advanced training tanks for the BEF. The Light Mark VI made up the bulk of the British light tank force. Little is known about their fate, but, since none were repatriated, only the remaining few in Great Britain were still available after the defeat of France, for home defense. It's most likely they were phased out after 1941.
According to some sources, ten were purchased by Australia in 1936.

About the Vickers Light Tank Mark V on Wikipedia
WWII Vehicles
Early Light Mark V derived from the L3E1 prototype in 1934. The Horstmann suspension system was virtually unchanged.
Light Mark V, fully equipped, possibly used by the BEF for training in France, prior to May 1940.
The cartridges used by all of the versions of the Vickers Light Tanks. The Mk.V used the 7.92 mm and 15 mm machine-guns, which used the 2nd and the 4th shells. Source: Bronson, British Collectors of Arms & Militaria Forum.
Possibly one of the Australian Light Mark Vs which were operationally used in North Africa, 1941-42.
Probably a prototype testing a revised turret and cupola

Forms by Joe Tsambiras
Forms is a new zine by my dear friend named Joe Tsambiras. His work always leave me some sort of speechless. Mainly because you can't describe true passion in words, you can only feel it. Joe puts so much love and attention into his work and you can feel it from just holding this zine.
Forms features a series of 18 new etchings. The etchings in this zine reminds me of Codex Seraphinianus by Luigi Serafini, but with inanimate and random objects. The zine also smells really good because he used an awesome newsletter type of paper that leaves your fingers happy.
See more images from Forms here.
Also see this blog post to see some more of my favorite works from Joe.
Go ahead and contact Joe, he's a really nice guy:
