Underquilt review
First time using an underquilt and it was super easy to set up and take down. Kept me warm in the cold as designed. I was worried that it would get wet in the rain but once fitting it onto the hammock saw that it sits perfectly underneath the hammock, so no problems there.
Difference maker!
2019 was my first go at overnight hanging and I started with a Lawson. After a few tries and some reading I realized why an underquilt in necessary to keep the moisture out. I'm in NE PA and still using the hammock overnight with a 30 degree sleeping bag halfway through October. Warm every night.

Find of a Lifetime:
Like modern-day fables, once in a blue moon we read about a car enthusiast who stumbles upon an untouched original Jaguar Lightweight E-Type, an entombed '54 Corvette, or--like Jay Leno--the missing Duesenberg, peacefully hibernating for decades in a Manhattan parking garage. It does not happen very often, but when it does, it's an event of a lifetime, just like winning the lottery.
That's how we felt upon discovering the magical FoMoCo Freighter, the much-admired cover car of Rod & Custom Magazine's August 1962 issue.
Due to a very lucky constellation of circumstances, this Full Kustom survived 44 years as if preserved inside a vacuum bubble, unharmed, unaltered, unbelievably beautiful. For various reasons, immaculately preserved, unrestored custom cars from the early days of the hobby are virtually extinct; the emergence of the FoMoCo Freighter after nearly five decades of gentle storage is a singularly important event. Not even Bruce Meyer, custodian of one of the most distinguished Hot Rod collections on the planet, can boast of owning a truly original, untouched early car.
Never been exposed to a drop of rain in its life, and having traveled a mere 6,219 miles in almost half a Century, this super-low-mileage California survivor is in such amazing time warp condition, it's instantly ready for another glossy photo spread in Rod & Custom or The Rodder's Journal!
A copy of the original August 1962 Rod & Custom Magazine accompanies the FoMoCo Freighter, nicely outlining the truck's history.
Ray Nish, service manager for an Oakland, Calif. Lincoln-Mercury dealer, transformed a 1937 Ford sedan into the FoMoCo Freighter over a period of 13 years, exclusively using FoMoCo parts (hence the truck's moniker).
In February of 1962, Mr. Nish's just finished state-of-the-art Kustom was shown at the Oakland Grand National Roadster Show.
During the early 1960s, Ray Nish and his wife Sally occasionally drove the FoMoCo Freighter to Central California shows, accumulating less than 5,000 miles on the odometer. Always properly cared for, the Freighter eventually spent a number of years as part of the private Robert J. Pond collection in Palm Springs, California.
Miraculously, the Freighter's caretakers resisted the urge to "update" or "modify" anything, presenting you with the unheard-of opportunity to obtain a virginal specimen hailing from the Golden Age of Kustomizing!
State-of-the-art, circa 1962. The FoMoCo Freighter rests on a narrowed and shortened '56 Mercury frame and suspension. It is powered by a monstrous, fully chromed and aseptically clean '57 Lincoln 368 cubic inch Turnpike Cruiser V-8 engine, backed by a '57 Ford Thunderbird C-6 Cruise-O-Matic transmission and a '57 Lincoln Powr-Lok rear end with 3.31 gears. Firewall and radiator cover were hand-formed from sheet steel, then triple chrome plated.
To make Ray and Sally's driving chores easier, the pickup was equipped with '61 Merc power steering and power brakes, power windows, power vents (!), and a power antenna.
Truck retains its amazingly well-preserved, reversed chrome wheels with baby moon hubcaps. FIRESTONE Deluxe Champion wide whitewall tires of the dimension 7.50x14 helped achieve a low profile; we've just installed a fresh set, obtained from COKER Tires.
Words and pictures can't begin to describe the quality of workmanship found on this custom. Literally, thousands of hours went into creating this masterpiece. The original sedan body was completely re-worked, including a 2-inch top chop. '40 Ford Deluxe hood and fenders were fitted, an entirely custom-made bed and rear fenders added. Even the--removable--running boards are hand-made from heavy gauge steel.
All the subtle body mods have withstood the test of time admirably. There are no bubbles; there's no rust anywhere. The two-tone Pearl and Byzantine Gold paint--done at Bob Philippi's Lincoln-Mercury shop--still looks fabulous, with just a few negligible signs of age. Plentiful chrome trim is shiny and pit-free. We've had well-known striper "Itchy" freshen the original Tommy the Greek pinstriping.
Let's check out the extraordinary interior!
Having unlimited access to late-model parts, Ray Nish installed brand new 1961 Thunderbird gauges, radio, and switches in the Ford's much-modified, chromed dash. Immaculate steering wheel is from a '61 Comet. Everything works, even the AM radio.
Note '57 T-Bird floor shifter and neat pedal layout. Yes, the emergency brake is functional, too!
Details, from left to right:
Lincoln window lift switches.
Thunderbird Gauge Cluster. Odometer shows original mileage of 6,219.5.
Traditional 1-inch rolled pleats, duplicating exterior's gold-and-pearl color scheme.
Supremely comfortable bucket seats originally served duty in a 1953 Mercedes-Benz 220Cabriolet.
Just like body and engine bay, the interior, fashioned in 1961 at Oakland's Mission Upholstery shop, is completely intact and original, including carpet and headliner. Note the fully finished, chromed window frames. Tinted safety glass was used all around.
A half dozen '61 Comet tail lamps. Note working back up lights. Rear step bumper and truck bed liner were fabricated by hand, using diamond-plate steel, then fully chromed.
Another very special, period Kustom touch, setting the FoMoCo Freighter apart from the rest: Carson-style, rolled and pleated naugahyde tonneau and tailgate covers.
Small, but important details: chromed jacking equipment, usually stored behind the seats.
Truck was shown locally in 2005, returned with a trophy every time! To call the FoMoCo Freighter a crowd pleaser would be quite an understatement.
Trophies are included with the pickup.
Ready for a test drive?
November 1st, when we took all of these pictures, was another perfect day in Southern California, warm and sunny, ideal for taking the FoMoCo Freighter on a cruise. Sure enough, this fabulous Custom truck does not disappoint. It starts, runs, idles, shifts, steers, handles, and stops as good as it looks. We've had the radiator and fuel system serviced for peace of mind; the Freighter never missed a beat.
It's a very light vehicle and the big block Lincoln mill provides superior power, enabling us to cruise along effortlessly on the 101 Freeway, surrounded by admiring motorists of all ages. The Mercury suspension provides a smooth ride; the truck always runs cool: the FoMoCo Freighter is a fully functional museum piece!
The all-steel FoMoCo Freighter certainly is one of the most important period custom cars in existence.
At the 2006 Barrett-Jackson auction, Don Tognotti's sympathetically restored Ford "Avenger," another early Sixties Oakland Roadster Show Star, sold for $216,000.00. You may be able to build another Kustom of this caliber for that kind of money, however, you will never be able to duplicate the pedigree of vehicles like the Avenger or the FoMoCo Freighter. These unique, historically significant automobiles are finally receiving the recognition they deserve, being proudly displayed in their own class at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
In today's realm of ultra-collectible classics, authenticity and provenance are everything, and the Freighter features plenty of both.
Rarely, if ever, will the opportunity arise to acquire a genuine, unaltered, pristinely original, early Custom, shown at the Oakland Roadster Show, featured on the cover of Rod & Custom, then properly stored for almost five decades. The fabulous FoMoCo Freighter has an illustrious past and is now ready for a celebrated future in the hands of a caring collector.
We are willing to bet the farm on it: within the next decade, this fantastic truck will be worth a quarter million Dollars!
This show truck sold in November 2006 to a collection in Texas.

Mid-Florida Eye Center is the first practice in Lake County, and one of only a select few practices nationwide, to bring together high-quality ophthalmology and hearing services.
Although hearing loss is thought of as a condition that typically strikes seniors, more Americans are experiencing difficulties with hearing loss at an earlier age. Perhaps the most noticeable segment of the population to report difficulties in hearing, sensitivity to loud sounds and/or an incessant buzzing – typical symptoms of hearing loss – are baby boomers. The first generation to be raised on rock-n-roll is facing more hearing loss than their parents did when they were in their 40's, 50's and up.
While studies now show that vision and hearing loss are commonly connected as we age, fortunately, hearing instruments are very different than they used to be. In fact, they're becoming the newest high-tech accessory, combining the latest in sound technology with style, grace, and elegant design. These tiny devices are almost invisible to others and deliver clarity whether you're at a holiday gathering…or attending a concert.
Listen up — lean in if you have to: Hearing loss is a big problem in the U.S., and not just for old folks anymore. In fact, one in five American teenagers has hearing loss, a recent study showed. Worried your hearing is deteriorating? Dr. Madan Kandula, an ear, nose and throat specialist in Milwaukee, Wis., has some pointers on what to listen for.
1. You're straining to understand conversations. The world is designed for normal-hearing ears. When one's hearing begins to slip, it takes a major effort to accomplish what used to come naturally — hear.
2. Your family complains you watch TV at a too-high volume. As hearing loss creeps in, the volume bars on TVs, radios, etc. go up, up, up. For the person with hearing loss, this allows them to boost the sound to a range that they can hear. Meanwhile, their friends, neighbors and family members are blasted away by the excessive sound.
3. You're having problems hearing on the telephone. Hearing loss usually evolves gradually. Without knowing it, those with hearing loss begin to read lips and look for non-verbal clues. These crutches disappear when someone is talking on the phone.
4. Your ears are ringing. While not always a sign of hearing loss, ringing in the ears, called tinnitus, is always something to get checked out. The most common cause for tinnitus is hearing loss. Tinnitus is a common first sign that there is something wrong with the ears.
5. You've started to avoid social interactions. It takes at least two to communicate. When communication is a struggle due to decreased hearing, the natural response by many is to avoid placing themselves in the line of fire. People with hearing loss begin to retreat into a world of isolation, so that they don't have to face the embarrassment of not being able to communicate effectively.
6. You're having trouble hearing noise that's in the background. People with ears that don't hear normally have to strain to pick up every morsel of sound input. While this can work well in one-on-one situations, this technique backfires when there are additional sources of sound. For those with hearing loss, restaurants, bars and parties become walls of distorted sounds instead of fun, comforting gatherings.
7. You're misunderstanding what others are saying. If your ears are causing you to miss things, your mind tries to fill in the gaps. The result can be annoying and embarrassing to the person with hearing loss as well as those trying to communicate with them.
8. You're having trouble understanding the speech of women and children. Hearing loss most commonly starts impacting the higher frequencies of speech. Women's and children's voices start to fade into the background. People with high frequency hearing loss tend to prefer to listen to male speakers and often complain that the women and children around them either "speak too softly" or mumble.
9. You keep asking people to repeat themselves. When you don't hear it right the first time, it's easy to ask for a second try. While this can work a few times, the listener and the speaker tend to get annoyed pretty quickly when every other sentence is "What did you say?" or "Can you repeat that?"

That scrutinies, upon a fair ease of doubt, are justified by the law and custom of Parliament, it is impossible to deny: and it is an unfinished election, after scrutinies have been granted, up to the moment of closing them.
T.et me, then, ask. m general, if this House can ever interrupt an unfinished election ? If it can, One or other of these consequences must happen—either the House will, itself, elect, by continuing, Ot by recommencing and closing the interrupted act, in which cafe it ceases to be a court of appeal—or the feat will precede the choice, or the appeal precede the judgement. Who can form an idea more preposterous? And who will believe that such is, or can be, the constitution of Parliament r
That scrutinies are bad expedients, I admit; all scrutinies, whether sitting the Parliament, or upon a general election. They are dangerous instruments of power on the one hand, or faction npon the other; attd I shall, with pleasure, give roy support, as far as it goes, to any honourable member who will form a bill to abolish them, or make them innocent and nsefuf.
But I cannot suppress my astonishment, that where the topic ah bieonvenieritl is pressed into the service, that another inconvenience is overlooked.—Imagine the petitioner's doctrine to be carried, and what an alarming power is given to the King *>t the Minister !—He wants to be rid of a popular candidate. This precedent will give him a receipt for it: let him first cram the poll; pour into it all the bad votes that a lane or a hedge can furnish; then feed it (the words are become technical) by two or three votes in an hour, till the return day arrives, Ot is not far off. Scrutinies will then be of no avail j and the servile courtier, who has not half the legal votes of his adversary, will deter him, by the expence of a petition^ from an attempt upon the seat.
But what are the admissions of the argument? Have gehtlernen weighed them as they deserve to be weighed? It is admitted, ted, that sitting a Parliament, scrutinies to an indefinite period, are, if a cafe be made for them, parts of an election, which the House have no power to interrupt; yet there, every argument pressed in this debate against the danger of scrutinies upon a general election, has equal force. It may there belaid, "the House is not full; Mr. Grenville's judicature is delayed; the popular candidate is excluded; and the city or county is taxed, though unrepresented."
As to Mr. Grenville's bill, such a grose fallacy was never attempted, as to argue that scrutinies interfere with it, and elude the policy of it. Scrutinies, in point of right, are just as they stood before that bill; and I may, with sounder argument, give them an obvious preference over the control of the House at large. That bill improved the judgement, but lest the subject of it the s^me. The Committees inherit the rights of the House, to use a good expression of a noble Lord who spoke early in the debate, (Lord Mulgrave;) not all the rights neither, for they have no power of decision beyond the feat; but they have no wider jurisdiction. When I hear such illfounded penegyrics up6n this bill, I suspect false friends to ir> and snakes in the grafs.
"But a return !—You forget a return !"—As to returns, I know this of them in general, that by the law of Parliament, jf they are not built upon a real and complete election, they jtfe no retuths at all, but absolutely YQsd.
Analogies of law are called into the argument oh both sides; but they are analogies rather from the difference than similitude. In courts of law, a return, if it executes the writ in form, binds the court and the parties, who have no remedy but ah action; but in Parliament, a return is waste paper, if "ft is not confirmed by a real, a due> and a complete election.
Upon this idea, who can be returned while the election proceeds ?—If the poll is depending, the condidate who stands first Upon it has no better claim to a return than his competitor, yrbo h^s not three votes; if the poll is checked, by a doubt
upon upon the right, in the form of scrutiny, and that scrutiny is depending, shall he who stands first upon it be returned? Just as impossible.—Shall both be returned? It is ridiculous to imagine it. Nor, except that ridiculous and shameful party job, the Oxfordshire election, will any double return of this kind be found upon the journals of Parliament.
What is the form of your decision upon contested elections? 'A form as old as the right: ** Resolved, That A. B. was elect-ed, and ought to have been returned." Can it be said that he was elected upon half the poll or scrutiny? And ought he to have been returned if not elected?
. But now for the writ, and its exigency—a terrible word !— t must, indeed, work miracles, if it can do what is threatened: it must have the power to make that a complete election between an old Parliament and a new one, which is no election while the Parliament happens to be sitting—It must have the power to make that a return, consistent with an oath, which flies in the face of it. When I am told this exigency of the writ is to carry such points, I suspect the miracle; watch it narrowly, and pick all the holes in it I can. I would catch at any little feather to save the common sense of the subject from, such a degree of odium and ridicule. But what is the harm of the writ r It orders a (return upon a particular day; but of what kind? A return, accompanied by the certificate of an •election. What fays the Returning Officer here ?" I can certify no election, because I have no election to certify."—If it was half a poll he would give the fame answer; and the degree in which the election is incomplete, makes no difference in the. -argument, or effect of his plea. . / - :.
It is admitted, that impossibilities may justify him; and if the poll is delayed by force, or fraud, or external accident, the exigency of the writ may be disobeyed. What is it but an impossibility, that a legal part of the depending election can revar.in incomplete without prejudice to the return of a complete election?
As to the acts of Parliament, they leave the return of the Writ, as accompanied by the certificate of an election, just where they found it; except that when such an election has been made, and the writ can be returned, so accompanied, the Sheriff of the county, who is a ministerial officer, in conveying that certificate home to Parliament, is to make the return upon such a day. The act supposes an election previously determined. .
But poor Westminster is to be taxed, though unrepresented.—
Under the tropics is our language spoke,
"We have lost America, 100,000,000 of money, and 100,000 lives, in opposition to the .doctrine, that representation is inseparable from taxation; but we pick it up again, to make a noble stand for it in the Westminster election. This may he called the art of sinking in politics.—But if the ridicule could be heightened, of saving Westminster from her share in the tax while she is in the act of electing her own representatives, we forget every cafe of a double return, and we forget the fame injured city upon every new election sitting the Parliament.
As to the real ground of scrutiny, in the case before us, I shall fay a very few words. It startled me at first, when the right honourable petitioner got up and said, " As a party, I like this ; but as a judge, I think it wrong;" it struck me, that, even with his powers of discernment, he might sometimes for-* get that he was a judge, and recollect his other situation too well. But when he examined the Deputy Bailiff I was comforted ; for there, it must be owned, he forgot that he was a party, and most accurately remembered that he was a judge; nay, he proved himself that species of judge whom our law, by one of its most popular fictions, calls a counsel for the prisoner; for it was the tendency, as well as effect of his questions, t© exculpate and justify the High Bailiff. I ask of any
man of honour, who heard this deputy culprit in the hands of tho right honourable gentlemen, if he has a doubt under the circumstances of this poll, that a revision of it was necessary* and essential to justice?
What, then, is to be done ?—Return me, laid the right honourable petitioner. That prayer is abandoned by his friend, the venerable gentleman (Mr. Ellis) conversant in the rules of Parliament, who made this motion. He fays, "Let any return be made; I don't care which." If that should he done, you either must compel a judicial officer to act as the minister of your will, and return that which you call an election, but he calls none; or you compel him to judge, when he can form no judgement at all. Are we, then, to issue a new writ, or direct the Bailiff to proceed? I confess, that I should have my doubts upon that subject; and should rather be of opinion, that a new writ should issue, if I went upon the common law of Parliament, applicable to the subject of an unfinished election: but I donsider the case of Trentham and Vandeput as a direct precedent in point, that a legal scrutiny must proceed. By the way, this last mode is clearly more eligible for the petitioner than to make the entire election begin again; though his counsel, by a logic unfathomable to me, have pressed for a new writ, as the better expedient of the two. However, that point is not before us; and I shall close what I have said by a negative to the motion, confined, as it is, to the demand of an immediate return.
Mr. Harding?, June 8, 1784.

In 1935 Niles attended the General Committee of the World Student Christian Federation at Sophia, Bulgaria, as a delegate of the SCM of India, Ceylon and Burma. This marked the beginning of his entry into the ecumenical world outside his native confines and opened doors to meet with the world's great theologians and spiritual leaders. At Sophia, Niles found a "guru" in Pastor Pierre Maury of France, a spiritual guide who led the Bible study. Niles met Karl Barth, the great theologian, at Basel the same year after the first Missions Conference of the World Student Christian Federation, and asked Barth his opinion of Pierre Maury's understanding of predestination. Niles later reminisced about Barth's reply: "He [Karl Barth] underlined the point that Pierre Maury makes, that predestination is a mystery of light and not of darkness, a mystery of grace even when one is speaking about the judgement of God . . . [Pierre Maury] helped me to understand between going to the Bible for answers to questions we ask and approaching the Bible with our answers to the questions it raises. Pierre Maury would say, 'Only God has the right to ask questions.'" (Niles, Karl Barth, 5, 7, 8).[2]

He's eating real food, sort of. He loves sucking on bananas but doesn't do too well holding on to them for long, and he's not necessarily a huge fan of anything pureed. He's tried banana, sweet potato, green beans, and peas so far I think. He can make a ridiculous mess out of anything, even a rusk. His naps are still a mess, and his schedule is basically different every day, but he's such a great sleeper at night right now that I can't complain at all.
Six months with Oliver has been so much fun. I can't believe how much he has changed already. The next six will probably be even better.

We get many questions on what to choose, a trike or 2wheel bike. Many people think they want a trike for stability. Which a trike is, more stable when you are standing still….but riding a bike or a trike is quite a different story! Some more information is in this article. A trike is great for short
A two wheeled Cargo Bike, long as it may be, handles a like a normal bike. Riding a Cargo Bike is like driving a van when you normally drive a compact car — it's different, but not that different. It's easier to navigate small passages with the Cargo Bike (Bakfiets.nl, Urban Arrow, Douze Cycles, Workcycles Kr8) for that reason. A Cargo Bike is also very stable when you go around corners or fast downhill. It's a softer ride too because the load is in the middle between the two wheels.
A Cargo Trike has three wheels and is clearly a different kind of vehicle! It's true that you won't often lose stability when cycling very slow or certainly not when stopped. But that's about it for Trike advantages. Speed up to more than 5 or 10kmph and the Trike quickly becomes unstable and awkward to manoeuvre. If you zoom around a corner fast enough the whole Trike will tip and fall over, more with some models than others. That's very dangerous so you have to ride slow on a Trike.
The Nihola is the safest and most stable Trike on the market, but still it's less preferred for riding at speed or longer distances compared to a two wheel Cargo Bike. Another big disadvantage is that Trikes are uncomfortable to ride on cambered roads. Unlike Amsterdam or Copenhagen most roads Australia are cambered and uneven making it hard work for the rider to try sit straight on the saddle. Lastly with a Trike the load is right on top of the wheels which means the load bounces a lot more. Not a problem when transporting pillows but it's not nice when riding with your children.

The actual media is currently full of real-estate 'doom and gloom' — real estate repossessions and debts are up and property prices are down… the almost as if the 'sky is about to fall'! This case has seen many real estate property developers, and property traders generally, leave the market : and for those thinking of beginning real estate development, these are frightening times indeed.
What appears like the worst time to enter into real estate development can, in fact, be the best time. Successful real estate investment developers today realize that useful to them time to their advantage rapid their real estate development tasks will typically not be expecting sale or rent for just two to 4 years through inception. So if they have purchased well, they are less likely to become affected by the economic situation during the time of purchasing their real estate advancement site. In fact , a weakened market is a real estate developer's heaven, because a weak market is the buyer's market, and one from the first steps to any real-estate development project is obtaining a viable real estate development website on the best possible terms.
Even though we know that the Durham Region real estate improvement business is cyclical, and several parts of the world are in a house downturn, we also understand from history that well-informed real estate developers are effective in any market – dropping, flat or rising. We are going to working towards what we think the economic conditions is going to be in 12 to 3 years time. Indeed we our self are still active in the market instructions seeking Council permission for several real estate development projects. This provides us the opportunity to act quickly and make our approved real estate growth projects when the market really does become buoyant.
Even if our own 'crystal ball' is wrong, we know we have the resources to keep real estate development sites throughout possible further market variances to come, and increasing the cost of rent are certainly helping with this! Our belief is that this is really a golden time to act — perhaps a once within a generation opportunity. Maybe it is far from the time to sell completed property development projects at the moment, however it is certainly a great opportunity to safe the development site and obtain progress planning approval. Now this technique is not for everyone – you'll want the necessary resources to hold the expansion site and especially the knowledge associated with real estate development to take advantage of these types of opportunities.

Lego has been a firm favourite of mine since I was 4 or 5 years old, probably – although it wasn't entirely clear who loved building with the popular blocks more – me or my dad! With a son now aged 4 (almost 5 years old) who is already interested in the many movies Lego have released and has jumped headlong into building Lego houses, Brick Live! seemed like the ideal opportunity to fuel the passion and be a big kid myself, not that I need an excuse…
The NEC played host to the event and it's taken place over four days 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th November. We attended on the opening day and the highlights of the day were plentiful. It's the perfect family day out and a fantastic indoor event to take the kids to during half term holidays too.
Here are a few of the features we loved:
Lego Statues
The giant Lego statues were more of a fascination for me than my youngster, however he was particularly taken with the witch, given that we have just celebrated Halloween she was a draw for his eager eyes! I personally adored the Mystical Creatures feature and thought the Cyclops in particular was inspired. It only goes to show that the builds you can make with Lego bricks are limitless.
Have a go….
Lego pits were situated all over the hall and they were in regular use by all of the small guests who thought nothing or launching themselves in to the bricks (even though all of us parents know what it's like to accidentally step on an offending piece of Lego!!). Duplo was available too for the less dexterous and little fingered enthusiast as well as larger rubber bricks which were fun for all. The more seasoned builders could avail themselves of the various stations situated around the venue and leave their makes out for all to see. There were some amazing quick makes to be seen, there are some very talented young builders around!
Robot Wars
Who doesn't love robot wars? We see a lot of battles at Comic Con when MCM visit the NEC and it's always a marvel to see, when the robots have been built with Lego it's all the more exciting. There's good sized arena for the audience to sit and watch too.
Aim high
Have your kids tried a climbing wall before? If not there's a chance to do just that and everybody taking up the challenge looked like they were loving it. What a brilliant idea.
Meet Friends
Lego Friends are the new-ish addition to the Lego family and four talented young ladies represented the popular characters superbly in the Lego Friends section of the show. Offering a dance demo then opening the floor to their young fans, the girls led the throng of wannabe dancers who joined in. My little boy thought it was amazing and it was one of his personal highlights. The final tune they danced to, from Disney's Zootropolis summed up what I felt was the ethos of the show, 'try everything' and Brick Live! has plenty of chances for everybody to try everything. The photo opportunity with the girls afterwards didn't go amiss either.
Game on!
Do you enjoy gaming AND Lego? Consoles were available for anyone who fancied a break from hands on building and the Super Mario Party stand seemed to be the place to be.
Save your pennies up
There's plenty of merchandise to buy and having an event so close to Christmas means that it's tempting to make a few festive purchases as gifts (especially while your kids' backs are turned!). Lego has never been an inexpensive hobby of course, so it's worth saving those pennies if you fancy treating yourself or your loved ones! It's worth checking out the exhibition prices applied to some of the sets if you're in the market to add to your collection or someone else's.
As the queues outside the Lego store in London's Leicester Square go to prove, Lego never loses its place in the hearts of small and big kids alike – so Brick Live! is an innovative idea which attracts all age groups and we'll be very excitedly anticipating a return visit in the future. Everything is awesome!

Having a second kid has really highlighted the fact that I have too much kid stuff (and stuff in general). I find myself constantly picking up a rotation of 700 Shopkins off my floor so that I don't step on one and die. I needed a change and decided to jump on the minimalist home bandwagon. Now, I would love to go all in and turn my house into some sparse super clean dream home but that's not realistic with a toddler so I had to tweak the plan and compromise in some areas.
First, I decided to tackle the kids clothes. I seriously had 8 tubs of stores baby clothes from Aubrey's last 3 years which is insane, I know. I had my husband get out all 8 and dumped them all in the living room so I would be forced to do it all at once. Then I went through it one by one and if it was from Walmart or some other replaceable store I put it in the donate bag. Then I went through what was left and asked myself if I loved it (Marie Kondo style). If I didn't, it also went for donation. I gave myself 1 tub and had to relegate the rest to fit into it. It was difficult to take the "but she wore this when" emotions out of it but it helped to have my husband there to remind me that's why we took pictures. The feeling after getting everything down to 1 tub was pure joy and relief and it encouraged me to keep going.
Second, the toys. My biggest problem with the toys was the mindset that I paid for these and maybe I will have more kids blah blah blah. I justified this by telling myself that my next kid will want his own toys and it sucks to get nothing but hand me downs. I used the same principle with the toys as with the clothes. If it's cheap and replaceable it goes unless she currently plays with it a lot. Missing parts? Broken? Been in the bottom of the toy box forever? Gone! I also relegated myself to the toy box. What's left has to fit. I can't expect her to clean up her stuff if there is too much to fit in the toy box.
These two steps have really helped me pair down my clutter. This means I have less to clean up and more time to play. Don't get me wrong, it is a constant battle because we are constantly buying new toys and have to remind ourselves that if something comes in, something else must go out. It is, however, worth it to to feel like you are controlling the stuff and it's not controlling you. My home is officially a much happier place and I wont be hauling all of the junk around as we PCS.

I heard that Wendys is about to do a series of new ads featuring Dave Thomas, founder of Wendys.
Dave Thomas is dead.
I can see the script now:
Knock knock.
"Who is it?"
"Dave, let me in."
"It's me Dave."
"Dave's not here."
"No man, it's me Dave, I brought the burgers."
"DAVE man, open the door."
"Dave's not here."
"No, I'M Dave, hurry up, I went through the drive thru without a car and just run away when I got the burgers ... I didn't pay and I think the cops 're coming."
(with apologies to Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong)
UPDATE: Jan 29, 2005. Welcome back to Canada, Tommy Chong, where you don't get thrown in the joint for having a joint!

El Chubby's Fresh Mexican Grill in Aurora serves a wide variety of authentic Mexican food, but if you know Mexican food history, you know that authentic Mexican food is believed to come from the Mayan Indians who were prolific nomadic hunters and gatherers. They ate corn tortillas with bean paste, wild game, tropic fruits, and fish.
According to the World Food and Wine website, it was in the mid-1300s, when a thriving Aztec Empire made the use of chili peppers, honey, salt, and chocolate became part of their cooking. Wild game, like turkeys and ducks, were also domesticated.
Spain invaded Mexico in 1521 and Spanish foods began to have a big influence on Mexican food. They introduced them to new livestock, like sheep, pigs, and cows. They brought with them dairy products, garlic, different herbs, wheat, and spices. Mexican people incorporated many different food styles into their culture, including Caribbean, South American, French, West African, and Portuguese. Even today Mexican food is diverse and vary from region to region.
In the early days, Mexicans did not have ovens and instead cooked food over an open fire, using cast iron skillets and ceramic ware. They also used steaming, suspending meat wrapped in cactus or banana leaves, over boiling water in a deep pit. Frying as a cooking method was also added to their repertoire.
They had tools for grinding food like a metate y mano, which is a large tool made of lava rock or stone. They also used the molcaiete, which was smaller, and helped them grind and smash ingredients. It was like a mortar and pestle, using a small bowl-shaped container that was made of stone, hardwood, pottery, or marble, and a baseball bat shaped pestle.
Salsa, the Spanish word for sauce, which is so popular in America now, was sold in the Aztec marketplaces. Salsa is uncooked and sometimes pureed until smooth, chunky, or chopped. It often includes ingredients such as large red tomatoes, tomatillo, chipotle, and avocado.
The term enchilada, which means "in chile", was first referenced in the United States in 1885, but the Aztecs used tortillas as a wrap.
The tomatillo is a fruit dating back to at least 800 BC and provides tart flavor in many different green sauces. There is archaeological evidence that peppers have been used since 5000 BC.
The tamale can be traced to before Columbus. It was documented by Friar Bernardino de Sahagun that the Spaniards were given tamales by the Aztecs in the 1550s.
Mexican food incorporated many different ingredients and styles of cooking from other cultures and countries, but in exchange, Mexican food has influenced cuisine around the world.
Now, when you sit down to eat authentic Mexican food at El Chubby's Fresh Mexican Grill in Aurora, you will appreciate Mexican food history, which makes everything taste so much better!

In this
Wheels are one thing, what about making something a bit more complicated?
Bob Armstrong is making a PDP–8 thing. Its really cool. Since I too am a fan of older computers, I offered to help in what ever way I could. Well the switches he found for the front panel all have white switch handles. We needed some burnt orange and yellow ones. Seemed like something I could do with casting plastic.
This is the target:
You can't tell by the image, but the switch fits entirely within the outline of a US Quarter, so its not very big. The good news is that Alumilite picks up detail but the small space leads to some interesting challenges.
I started by trying to create a mold for the switch handles. Unlike the wheels, this could not be a pour mold. Instead it had to be something that had two parts. The other thing I discovered was that you really do want to pull a vacuum on your molds when they are small and complicated. Here is a picture of making the bottom half:
This mold shows the "paddle" of the switch sticking out of the RTV. The theory was that I could bend the RTV to release the two "nubs" that the switch uses to stay attached to the switch body.
I pulled a vacuum on this mold by using a FoodSaver machine, they are sold here at CostCo (and CostCo Online) for about $140. The good news is that you're spouse will love that you gave them this surprise gift that keeps leftovers fresh, lets you can your own foods, and generally helps the environment. Just remember to save one of the canisters for yourself :-). The above mold was vacuumed by using the 'lid saver' attachment (didn't have the canister yet) and is shown below on the right, A larger picture with the whole setup is shown below on the left. Basically this vacuum pump will pull a vacuum in any bottle or jar (and there are special bags as well but I don't use those.)
The goal of course is to get all of the air bubbles out of the RTV before it sets. This is especially important when you're making a mold that has a lot of detail and sharp edges. I wanted the "nubs" on the switch to come through crisply as that way they would work in the switches they were intended for.
Once the bottom was cast, it was time to cast the top. This is where the first challenge comes in. If you're using RTV in your mold and more RTV for the top, you have to keep the two from sticking together. That is done with "mold release" powder. (basically its just talcum powder). I prepped the mold with mold release and was ready to do the top half.
The trick was that the top half would have the top edge of the paddle right at the surface. After the mold was created I would use the rectangular hole as a fill hole for the mold.
If you have a two part mold you have to fill it somehow, and the resulting fill "appendage" where the plastic hardens in the fill hole is called the "sprue." I thought I would avoid a sprue by using the end of the switch as the fill hole. So more RTV is mixed, the top is filled, and put under vacuum once again.
I don't have pictures but the resulting two part mold was nearly impossible to pull apart. That meant I had not used enough mold release. I did get them apart and another problem became obvious, the vacuum causes the RTV to surge briefly as the air is being purged, and that caused it to overflow my mold holder, then when the RTV sank back down the switch end was sticking out. So much for using it as a sprueless mold! Not to be completely dissuaded, and since the casting part is the "fast" part, I used the mold I had made and cast a switch handle with it, the results are below.
The "rough" surface of the two mold halves shows the problem with the mold release, the RTV had bonded with itself and so the separation was not clean. The resulting cast switch captured the body "form" really well, and the interior is quite good too, but the nubs on the sides of the switch did not do well at all. In fact the portion of the mold that should have molded them ripped off during the separation process.
This mold is the most challenging casting thing I've done so far. Pour molds are childs play by comparison. The next attempt is going to try creating a displacement mold. In that version the mold will not have a sprue hole, rather the switch impression will be filled with plastic and the top half will insert a mold that will displace the plastic that makes up the interior. Given the setting speed of this stuff I expect it to be a challenge.
–Chuck McManis

The House Ways and Means Committee released draft tax reform legislation on Thursday. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, H.R. 1, incorporates many of the provisions listed in the Republicans' September tax reform framework while providing new details. Budget legislation passed in October would allow for the tax reform bill to cut federal government revenue by up to $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years and still be enacted under the Senate's budget reconciliation rules, which would require only 51 votes in the Senate for passage. The Joint Committee on Taxation issued an estimate of the revenue effects of the bill on Thursday showing a net total revenue loss of $1.487 trillion over 10 years.
The bill features new tax rates, a lower limit on the deductibility of home mortgage interest, the repeal of most deductions for individuals, and full expensing of depreciable assets by businesses, among its many provisions.
Lawmakers had reportedly been discussing lowering the contribution limits for Sec. 401(k) plans, but the bill does not include any changes to those limits.

Hull, Québec
Dear Sir,
We wish to thank you sincerely for the extraordinary assistance provided by your employees in responding to the preparatory work required for the National Day of Mourning of September 14, 2001, on Parliament Hill.
The National Day of Mourning was to honor the memory of those who lost their lives in the terrible events that took place in the United States. Thousands of federal employees were encouraged to attend this event and those that could not were encouraged to participate by viewing the televised event, which was carried by most networks.
The Hill being the location for such broad exposure, it was eminent for Public Works and Government Services Canada to have the Grand Stairs clear of any construction equipment or debris for the national telecast event. Your company provided a superior level of service to our department in these preparations.
We would therefore ask you to convey to all of the employees involved, our sincere appreciation not only for a job well done, but also for their extraordinary commitment to meeting such a tight deadline in support of PWGSC. Without the competent and dedicated assistance of your employees, we could not have achieved the success that we did in delivering the setting for this meaningful ceremony across the nation.
Our sincere thanks
Paul J. Choquette

Take out all scum that rises to the surface and add more water as necessary Add potato and onion, simmer for 8 to 10. Season with salt. Add in cabbage and pechay, cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are cooked. Serve hot with patis, kalamansi and sili.


text: When you've lived in a house for many years, and alone for much of those, it can be easy to assume the house is clean and problem free. How wrong this can be . . . it's eactly because you use the same rooms day in, day out and only do a weekly vacuum around that grubbiness can build up and just become an unseen matter. This kind of thing is often noticed when families are rushing about trying to get ready for a family gathering or maybe a special pal is coming to stay for a while. That's when you suddenly notice the dirt collected up along the skirting boards and around the front door. Then you start looking more closely and see mucky stuff behing all the furniture and along the edge of the carpets and window frames. The way forward is to engage a professional cleaning company to come in and really give it all a good going over.

What are the advantages of hybrid systems?
If you're facing the double-whammy of declining comfort and rising energy bills, it might be time for a new heating or cooling system. Older furnaces and air conditioners are not able to keep up with the heating and cooling demands of your home, and you'll start to see your bills skyrocket as a result. Here's a solution: hybrid systems. Hybrid systems are dual-fuel setups that can switch between heating methods during the winter. They're great.
In this article, we'll explore what hybrid systems are, how they work, and why one might be perfect for your home here in Chicagoland. If you need heating or cooling installation, be sure to call your friends at King for a free in-home estimate!
What are hybrid systems?
Hybrid HVAC systems combine two methods of heating and cooling: electric and gas. With the capability of running on both, the system can choose the more efficient type to match the current weather conditions.
The benefit of going hybrid is that it's highly customizable. When it comes to your home's air distribution, each person has different needs, whether it's temperature preferences or allergy sensitivities.
Technology plays a big role in making units more adaptable to on-the-spot changes. Along with the ability to switch between gas and electric, most systems come equipped with innovative features that allow you to make even personal tweaks to your environment:
- Remote operation
- Air purifier/humidifier
- Zoning
Zoning is especially advantageous because you're able to alter settings in different areas of the home. If your basement is consistently cold, you can increase the heat without cooking the rest of your house.
How do these systems save you money?
When you work with King Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, you'll get a hybrid system that's grounded in the principles of energy efficiency. Regardless of the season, your unit calls on the method that may save you more money in the long run.
When temperatures are milder, the electric components will work hard to keep your home's environment at a comfortable temperature range. When conditions dip below freezing, the system switches to gas, which heats your home in a much more efficient manner.
These systems are also durable. You may get more years of use than a non-hybrid system, and you may spend less on frequent and expensive repairs.
Is a hybrid system the right choice for your home?
If you're in the market for a new heating system, the answer is probably, "Yes!" Energy efficiency helps you save money, and hybrid systems are designed for economical operation. Not only are these HVAC models kind to your wallet but they do more to provide a relaxing and enjoyable environment.
To find out more about hybrids and whether or not one would be a good fit for your home here in Chicago, call us for a free in-home estimate on a new heating system. Our techs can meet with you and learn more about your home's heating needs.

Minnesota is getting nearly $18 million over the next two years to address the state's growing opioid crisis.
The two-year federal grant, announced Tuesday by the state Department of Human Services, will be used to support treatment, emergency overdose antidotes like naloxone and the training and recruitment of more medical and mental health staff.
"This federal funding is critical in Minnesota's efforts to fight a growing opioid epidemic all across our state," Human Services Commissioner Emily Piper said in a statement. "This funding will support the implementation and expansion of proven strategies to offer treatment, improved emergency services and workforce development."
This is the third federal grant Minnesota has received in a little over a year. When a $10.6 million targeted response grant and a $6 million award for medical-assisted treatment are added to the tally, Minnesota has received more than $34 million in federal resources to fight opioid addiction.
Last year, 50,000 Minnesotans got substance abuse treatment and 11,000 hospital admissions were related to opioids and heroin, state officials said. Opioids caused the deaths of 401 residents in 2017.
"The opioid epidemic has impacted individuals, families, businesses, and communities across the state. The Minnesota Department of Health is pleased to support the investments in workforce development as part of this current funding strategy," Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm said in a statement.
Malcolm noted the employer toolkit the state recently launched to help businesses assist workers who are struggling with addictions. The state has a growing worker shortage that has harshly affected communities struggling with the opioid epidemic.
Besides getting federal money, state leaders are working on local policies to rein in the spread of opioid addiction. Drug prescribing practices have been tightened and the state has expanded use of its prescription monitoring program.
Attorney General Lori Swanson and county attorneys across the state are suing drug manufacturers for allegedly misleading doctors and patients about the safety of the powerful painkillers. The pharmaceutical industry has denied those allegations.
There is also bipartisan support for a "penny-a-pill" fee on opioid prescriptions to raise funding to pay for treatment and prevention efforts, but state lawmakers were unable to pass a bill through the Legislature this year. The measure was strongly opposed by drug makers and their political allies.

This section will provide a context to the use of web feature services (WFS). It covers who and what the OGC is and does, what a WFS is, and the history behind OGC WFS specifications.
Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and their goal...
"The Open Geospatial Consortium is an international industry consortium of 440* companies, government agencies and universities participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available interface standards." *(to date).
"The OGC Standards support interoperable solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services and mainstream IT."
In a nutshell then, the OCG is a group of people from industry, government and education who together, produce standards for use in a global context, their ultimate goal being to better enable the use of geospatial solutions. You can read more on the OGC from the Further Reading section below.
What is an OGC Web Feature Service?
In order to understand what a WFS is, you first must understand what is meant by:
- 'Feature'
- 'Operation'
In the context of a WFS, a 'Feature' is a representation of a real-world-object; a geographic feature. That feature is represented by 'data' and is often contained in a database.
An 'Operation' can be thought of as an action - something that performs an action on a data store that itself contains features. Operations are used for retrieving and maintaining that data. The type of action (or Operator to use) depends on end user requirements. The different types of Operations available for use within a WFS are detailed in WFS Operation Types and Descriptions.
Therefore a Web Feature Service is...
An open, platform independent web service (request/response) allowing retrieval and maintenance of features contained within a remote data store. The WFS provides a set of comprehensive operations for discovery, query and transactions on features or individual property values.
What is an Application Server?
An application server is a server often used solely to host applications (software programs). The two application servers we work with are Tomcat (Wikipedia) and JBoss (Wikipedia).
What is the WFS process?
Client applications link to the WFS hosted by the application server (e.g Tomcat or JBoss) and submits a WFS request. WFS converts the request to SQL (or other depending on the database in use) to query the underlying database. Data is returned and the WFS then converts it into gml, based on the GO Publisher project translations and specified schema. The client application then displays the gml data.
Image displaying the WFS setup using an application server.
What can WFS be used for?
WFS supports a wide range of use cases:
Data exchange: download data on request or synchronisation for use locally.
Decision-support: directly query data within client applications removing the need for local data stores.
Data maintenance: direct, distributed data maintenance by multiple clients. Removing the need for multiple data maintenance flows, increasing efficiency and quality and reducing latency.
History of OGC WFS Specification
The WFS specification is one of the more mature web service standards developed by the OGC. See WFS Conformance Classes for more information on
The WFS specification was first developed in 2002 (WFS 1.0.0) alongside the GML 2.1.2 specification which is the default payload encoding.
The first version of the WFS specification supported 5 operations:
- GetCapabilities,
- DescribeFeatureType,
- GetFeature,
- Transaction and
- LockFeature.
The specification was subsequently revised in 2005, following the development of the GML 3.1.1 and Filter Encoding 1.1 specifications.
The WFS 1.1.0 specification included 2 new operations;
- GetGMLObject and
- GetFeatureWithLock
It also introduced some new query functions such as resolving references to remote features/objects. WFS 1.1.0 was the first version of the specification to be implemented by many proprietary and open source software vendors and you can now find several compliant WFS 1.1 servers.
In November 2010, the latest version of the WFS specification (WFS 2.0) was published. This was a major release of the WFS specification as it has now been adopted as an ISO TC 211 standard as well as an OGC specification, demonstrating maturity. The WFS 2.0 specification is currently being adopted by many national, international and global initiatives within many domains (e.g. INSPIRE, NSDI, SESAR/NextGen) as the preferred open web service interface for interoperable data exchange.
In the WFS 2.0 specification, four core WFS Conformance Classes are defined that specify a minimum set of operations and behaviours that the WFS supports.
Overview of key differences between the WFS specifications
GO Publisher WFS
Snowflake Software's GO Publisher has been extended to support both WFS1.1 and the latest version of the OGC Web Feature Service (WFS 2.0) and Filter Encoding Specification (FES) 2.0. These are the sibling standards to GML3.2.1 and introduce new ways to interact with spatial and temporal data. This is key functionality for fully implementing a number of important GML exchange schemas.
Notable schemas which use GML3.2.1, WFS 2.0 & FES 2.0:
- AIXM5.1 - Aeronautical Information Exchange Model
- WXXM1.1 - Weather Exchange Model
- INSPIRE - Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe to support environmental policies
- CAFE - Clean Air For Europe initiative

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
The Bush 'shoe monument,' unveiled at an orphanage in Tikrit. [Source: CNN]A monument to the shoes thrown at President Bush (see December 14, 2008) is unveiled during a ceremony at an orphanage in Tikrit, Iraq. The monument is a sculpture created by Laith al-Amiri with the assistance of the orphans at the facility. Many people in Iraq and throughout the Arab world regard the shoe thrower, journalist Muntadar al-Zaidi, as a hero, and many are calling for his release from prison. The monument is, essentially, a fiberglass shoe nearly 12 feet high and coated with copper. Faten Abdulqader al-Naseri, the orphanage director, says: "Those orphans who helped the sculptor in building this monument were the victims of Bush's war. The shoe monument is a gift to the next generation to remember the heroic action by the journalist. When the next generation sees the shoe monument, they will ask their parents about it. When their parents will start talking about the hero Muntadar al-Zaidi, who threw his shoe at George W. Bush during his unannounced farewell visit." [CNN, 1/29/2009]

Vitiello Lab Prepares to Study Rare Disease Thanks to Local Man's Fundraising Efforts
Jan 03, 2018 09:59AM
● By The Hood Magazine
Sanford researcher Peter Vitiello is readying
his lab for a new research study. The study is unique for Vitiello in both its
focus and its funding source. Vitiello, who has been studying the role of
antioxidant enzymes in disease at Sanford for the last eight years, may soon be
the recipient of $75,000 in private funds that will take his focus in a new
"As a scientist, I try to be as logical as possible," says Vitiello. "But when something like this happens, it really touches the emotional side."
In October, Vitiello was contacted by a Sioux Falls attorney whose 16-year-old daughter has Friedreich's Ataxia, a protein deficiency that destroys cells in the nervous system and lungs. Dan Brendtro wanted to raise money to fund an FA research study at Sanford. As fortune would have it, although FA has not been a primarily focus for Vitiello, he had been briefly involved in a collaboration with a Mayo clinic FA researcher in 2012.
"Only a handful of folks even knew that I was involved in that project," says Vitiello. "But the timing was just right and the right people heard about it."
After talking with the Brentros, Vitiello agreed to revive that shelved research study and take it to the next level in his own lab at Sanford.
"The fact that we have an emphasis on rare disease research and an infrastructure in place that could help me get this project going was critical," says Vitiello.
In fact, FA registrants make up one of the largest components of Sanford's CoRDS rare disease database, the only free national rare disease registry not affiliated with any single illness. FA has also garnered national attention in this year; a Philadelphia lab is conducting a 5-year natural history study thanks to a $2 million NIH grant.
"I have optimism that the science is going to figure this out," says Brentro.
Provided that the Brentros reach their $75,000 goal, Vitiello will be able to sidestep the lengthy grant application process and could potentially produce the first findings within months.
"It has taken me years to get certain projects funded in my lab," says Vitiello. "To interact with someone who wants to do this at this level and it able to fast-track the funding is unprecedented for me."
Last month, the Brentro's crowdfunding campaign (TheFinishLine.org) got some additional attention when the local news media picked up on the story. As of this writing, the campaign is more than halfway to its goal and Vitiello continues to prepare his lab for the anticipated start of the study this month.

Some famous people spend their entire careers methodically building their brand, finding ways to elevate the value attached to their names. It's playing the long game, but it generally tends to prove quite effective.
But then there are others who adopt new monikers willy-nilly, trying on and casting aside new identities as easily as you or I might try on a pair of shoes. This inability to settle on a name or title should be damaging to that perceived value – and usually it is.
Unless you're Sean Combs.
Combs – whose list of aliases includes Diddy, P. Diddy, Puffy, Puff Daddy and probably a whole wealth of other names with which I lack familiarity – recently took to the internet to add yet another name to the list. He told the world via a video uploaded to Twitter that he would now like to be called Love (aka Brother Love, because of course he needs an alias to go with his alias because it's aliases all the way down with this guy). Diddy claimed that he needed the name change to adapt to his ever-evolving persona, which is exactly the kind of bullcrap nonsense you'd expect.
As you can imagine, the internet took great delight in telling P. Diddy just what they thought of the whole situation. Plenty of people had plenty to say, though the most amusing take has to be the one coming from the WWE cohort taking Puffy to task for stealing the name of pro wrestling legend Bruce Prichard, whose Brother Love character was known for – among other things – being the Undertaker's first manager.
(You'll always learn something new here at Celebrity Slam.)
After a weekend-long deluge of attention, Puff Daddy walked back his name change claims, this time with a video posted to Instagram, because it's clear that no one is interested in any part of this debacle being the least bit consistent. He said it was all just a joke and that he wasn't really changing his name.
Of course, he also added that he'd happily answer to Love if you called him that, adding it to the laundry list of names one can use when addressing him, so who the hell knows?
This right here – this is good Slam.
The love this space has for names is well-documented; there are plenty of weeks where it's little more than a clearinghouse for celebrity relationship portmanteaus and it's glorious. Names are important in the celebrity sphere, but few have been able to mold and manipulate those naming conventions quite like Diddy.
Seriously, use whichever collection of vaguely-related syllables you like – P. Diddy, Puffy, Puff Daddy – and literally millions of people will know who you are talking about. That's pretty remarkable, when you think about it.
All this means that when P. Diddy decided to throw Brother Love into the mix, everyone was prepared to take him at his word. Of course we were. This is what he does; if anything, we were overdue for an additional identity. Frankly, it's a little disingenuous for him to act like we should have all known he was just joking; this is a man who in all seriousness told us to call him Puff Daddy. We're beyond the benefit of the doubt here, Puffy – when it comes to names, you're clearly capable of anything.
(All this leaves aside the fact that Brother Love breaks the standard pattern in a pretty jarring way. There's no Ps or Ds anywhere – it's off-brand in a way that seems poorly considered. For someone who's usually so on-point with these moves, it comes off as a misfire. Just saying.)
All that's left is for us to look forward to whatever project this name change was intended to generate attention for. So we say good luck to Sean "Puff Daddy/Puffy/P. Diddy/Diddy/Love/Brother Love" Combs in all his future endeavors. And we eagerly anticipate whatever bizarre made-up name is coming next, because it's clear that all bets are off.

Welcome to #NotAnAd, where we post enthusiastically and without reservation about things we're obsessed with from the world of food.
Moving on has never come easy to me. Life-altering, self-inflicted change like career pivots or cross-country moves don't trouble me, but my music playlist has not fundamentally changed in 15 years and the loss of trivial things that I return to largely for nostalgic reasons causes existential panic.
In a choice more befitting an octogenarian than the millennial I really am, my favorite candy of all time is the original formula Necco Sweethearts, chalky, heavenly drops of deliciousness that are arguably the most maligned seasonal sweet. For many people, conversation hearts are just a corny symbol of an outdated holiday. Although they're tolerated annually as delivery vehicles for silly sayings like 'MY MAN' and 'ONE KISS,' people rarely appreciate them as the kind of candy you would seek out. But I do.
Necco Sweethearts' origins date back to the Civil War era—and, as some would argue, they taste like it too—when the New England Confectionery Company launched what would become their signature Necco Wafers, the precursor to Sweethearts. The conversational Sweethearts themselves debuted in 1900 as non-heart shapes that could accommodate longer messages like "How long shall I have to wait? Pray be considerate."
In 2010, Necco changed the formula of the original hearts, ostensibly to modernize their image alongside a slate of new messages that saw "FAX ME" swapped out for "TEXT ME." In so doing, the texture of the candy changed from "delightfully crunchy" to "mushy tabs of sadness," and the taste became at once tarter and more cloying. The lineup of flavors was also updated, with banana and wintergreen getting replaced by blue raspberry and green apple.
"The original Sweethearts were a bit chalky," Vice President Dave Smith said at the time. "Some people really like eating chalky, but the idea is that the new flavors and textures are much more candy-like, and you can enjoy them more because they taste a little better."
But "better" is subjective and in the years since the recipe change, I've searched for sources of the original formula Sweethearts with back stock, buying the lot whenever I could find them. A local grocery store chain somehow had a line on the original formula Necco hearts in bulk, and I used to be able to buy them there. But it's the end of an era: When I inquired about their conspicuous absence this season, the store confirmed that their distributor didn't have any supply this year. With Necco abruptly shuttering their factory last summer, only to be purchased by Spangler in September, the future of Sweethearts and other brand favorites remains murky.
Desperate for a dose of nostalgia some weeks ago, I scoured the internet for sources of my confectionary addiction. I found an eBay seller with a listing for "Necco hearts: ORIGINAL formula!" and ordered all $34-worth they had in stock. When the package arrived, I tore excitedly through the bubble mailer before catching a glimpse of a telltale bright blue color sprinkled throughout. What I'd received in the mail was four pounds of disappointment: the newer formula hearts, with the signature blue raspberry flavor. I, along with the five other original formula Necco conversation heart-enthusiasts out there, am crushed.
There are several imitators on the market—like Brach's conversation hearts that come in large, tiny, and sour—but none compare to the original suite of flavors and unmistakable crunch of pre-2010 Necco Sweethearts. Kids growing up today will never know the satisfying crisp of a banana-flavored Necco heart in its perfect original state. It's hard for me to stomach that something that has been a part of Valentine's Day for so long (longer than any of us have been alive!) might be gone forever.
Granted, Necco isn't dead: Spangler has vowed to continue the hearts' legacy, but without the 11-month production period required to make the billions of hearts consumed during the six-week Valentine's selling period, 2019 is the first year in well over a century without Necco Sweethearts. New ownership always means change, and waiting until early 2020 to find out what's to become of the seasonal confectionery mainstay makes me nervous. The fate of a favorite childhood candy has also forced a bigger, scarier question within myself: Am I just terribly nostalgic, or does my refusal to accept something so frivolous mean that I'm bad at change in general?
I drive a stick shift car to pick up physical copies of books from the library (blasting my ancient playlist, natch) because it's living history; it gives me a sense of stability and control in a world that never stops changing. And when I bite into an original recipe Necco conversation heart for the first time each year, releasing the familiar crunch that's impossible to replicate, it brings back the comfort of childhood memories: anxiously awaiting the arrival of my favorite candy in grocery stores and anticipating the outsized amount of sugar I'd have access to at the Valentine's Day celebrations in elementary school. It's easy to forget that, when you're a kid, candy is currency—a drug, a life force, and, sometimes, the best life gets. The original Necco Sweethearts is a reminder of what that felt like. I hope they're not gone forever.

MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
Perched on the edge of Pacific Heights, this sleek Cal-Ital eatery draws a casual-chic neighborhood crowd. Dimly lit and inviting, its dining room boasts two particularly eye-catching appurtenances: a white marble bar with glamorous green swirls as well as a bright and vibrant open kitchen, abuzz with a youthful, lively and passionate staff. Trained at Quince, Chef Alexander Hong has a true gift for pasta, like smoky potato zlikrofi drizzled with sharp plum mostarda and shaved horseradish, or thick strascinati bathed in a 'nduja-infused sauce with tender butter beans and lovage. His ricotta gnudi are exemplars of the form: cloud-soft, accented by crisp fried sage and bright pops of sour cherry. In keeping with Sorrel's approachable mien, everything is offered à la carte, but the five-course tasting menu boasts of exceptional value. In addition to a pair of pastas, discover some deliciously contemporary small bites, including madai crudo with yuzu and cured egg yolk, or dry-aged beef tartare with a hint of pink peppercorn. The duck breast course is truly a sight to behold-complete with its brilliant trinity of golden-crisped skin, juicy meat and earthy red kuri squash purée.
