February was American Heart Month, but it's important to have heart healthy habits all year long. Heart disease runs in my family, so I'm always conscious of doing my best to help alleviate heart problems. Although I'm not strict with my diet, I read labels and try to go for foods that are low in saturated fat and cholesterol. I also exercise three times a week by either doing cardio workouts or on-skate roller derby drills. Although my kids like to veg out from time to time, I ensure they get off the couch and exercise or participate in rigorous play. There's no guarantee to what will happen in life, but taking the proper steps helps prevent heart disease from affecting our lives.
Health is foremost on people's minds, keeping your family in tip top shape can be a challenge in these busy times. Campbell's Soup wants you to "Address Your Heart" with Heart Healthy Tips, recipes and more!

Domestic Violence can be defined as a pattern of coercive control that may be psychological, economic, or sexual in nature, reinforced by one of more acts of frightening physical violence, credible physical threat, isolation, emotional abuse or sexual assault. Abusive behaviors may include but are not limited to the following: pushing, shoving, hitting, choking, kicking, injuring pets or property, accusations, name-calling, put-downs, threats against a person or their children, threatening self-harm, controlling the money, not allowing a person to work, not allowing the person to associate with certain people, deprivation of transportation and forcing sex." As practitioners dealing with clients in domestic violence situations, boundary issues have the potential to arise between the client/therapist as well as the therapist and other agencies involved with the client. The therapist, also, might need to deal with his or her own issues regarding domestic violence.
First, lets examine potential boundary issues between the client and therapist. Oftentimes, the client tries to engage the therapist into doing things for them. For example, Joan asked her therapist to find someone to keep her children, because she was afraid that the Department of Human Services would take them into custody. Those of us that work with the human service agencies know that either one of two things happen: 1) children sometimes get taken out of their homes prematurely or more likely, 2) children who report domestic violence to counselors who are mandated to report the DHS are not removed from the home and many times suffer harsh consequences from the batterer for talking to outsiders in the first place. Thus, a therapist might very well be tempted to go around the system and try to find a safe place for the children. In this case, Joans therapist assisted Joan in coming up with a list of possible safe havens for her children without making a recommendation or finding a place for the children herself. The therapist also helped Joan come up with a safety plan for her and her children in the event the batterer (Joans live-in boyfriend) became abusive. Another issue, which is similar to this one, is that the client asks the therapist not to divulge information to human services. This puts the therapist in an awkward position due to confidentiality rights of clients. A client must sign a release of information in order for a therapist to release information. Best practice would be to tell the client, up front, that the only time the therapist would be forced to release information without consent is if there is clear and convincing evidence regarding harm to self or others.

Last Sunday, we enjoyed all of our churches getting together for worship in Magola. Despite the cold and rainy weather, we had well over a hundred people come. I'll post a short video of this in a few days, but in the meantime, we also gave the well recently dug to the community and had a short dedication ceremony. I was touched again at how having water nearby will change these people's lives.

Tesla reported first-quarter earnings on Wednesday, and they were better than expected: Tesla lost less money than analysts thought the company would.
After the numbers hit, CEO Elon Musk and his team held a conference call. And Tesla kicked it off with a bang.
For years, Musk has said that Tesla wants to be delivering 500,000 vehicles per year by 2020.
But massive preorders for the Model 3 car that was unveiled in March — some 400,000 — have compelled Tesla to change that plan.
Musk now wants to hit 500,000 by 2018, a full two years ahead of schedule.
He called it the biggest "strategic change" that Tesla is now making.
"Increasing production five fold over the next two years will be challenging and will likely require some additional capital, but this is our goal and we will be working hard to achieve it," Tesla said in a letter to shareholders.
Up to now, Tesla has managed to build and deliver a maximum of about 50,000 vehicles in a single year. And that max was achieved last year, when Tesla downgraded its delivery guidance several times during the year.
This year, Tesla is sticking to its 80,000 to 90,000 delivery guidance.
But it's clear that the Model 3 has significantly altered Tesla's planning for the future.
On the call, Musk stressed that as good as Tesla is at design and technology, the company needs to up its game as a manufacturer.
"We take it very seriously, and we need to solve it if we're going to scale and scale rapidly," he said.
Musk will evidently take personal responsibility for upping Tesla's production pace. He said that he has a desk at the end of a production line at Tesla's factory in Fremont, California, and that he also keeps a sleeping bag there.
But make no mistake: Getting to 500,000 in annual deliveries in just two years is going to be the biggest challenge Tesla has yet confronted.
So he took the opportunity to put out a call for help.
He asked the "best manufacturing people in the world" to join Tesla. He added that the company's "hellbent" focus would be to get "super good at making large complex objects."

The deep changes in the medical and demographic structure of population, in the social, economic and technological environment, as well as the increasing patients' needs and citizens' expectations affect the ability of EU healthcare systems to give proper and prompt answers. Each country can face these challenges in a different way, and its decisions clearly have a strong impact on healthcare professionals' activities.
In this environment, HOPE selected "New roles and new skills for health professionals" as the topic for its HOPE Exchange Programme 2009, a 4-week training programme during which hospital and health care professionals with managerial responsibilities work in a foreign country on a specific topic. At the end of the training, participants gathered by country of destination prepare a presentation concerning what they have learnt about their hosting countries. During a final conference, the group presentations are discussed and three of them are awarded.
The report "New roles, new skills" presents the main findings of the conference 2009, where participants illustrated through several practical examples how changes in the healthcare systems affect healthcare professionals' working pathways and presented the new emerging roles and skills in EU countries.
The main findings of the conference include some common tendencies in the hospital and healthcare services organisation of EU Member States but above all three important trends regarding hospital and healthcare professionals: the development of new roles, with new tasks related to new positions; the rise in new skills, mainly related to managerial abilities and ICT competencies, and 'skills transfer', concerning the shift of tasks and responsibilities from higher to lower professional levels.

It's a discussion we have quite often in Afrocentric beauty and barber shops and our chococentric family gatherings. It's driven by far too often heard and read comments from vanillacentric liberal progressive circles and our own stupid knee-grows the refrain that 'I'm voting for the lesser of two evils' or 'I'm sitting out this election'.
Frankly, the folks that utter the second one get on my last damned nerve. I look at, shake my head and call them clueless under my breath as visions of the beatdown now Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and others took at the Edmund Pettus Bridge by Alabama state troopers on Bloody Sunday play back in my mind.
And once again, maybe it's a cultural thing. You value most what was denied to you or your oppressors are hellbent (see ALEC sponsored voter
Those statements are uttered far too frequently from people who want a third party in the United States or who support third party candidates because they don't like the Democratic or Republican candidates for whatever reason.
But the bottom line is that the ballot is the most powerful weapon in your arsenal to change society. Direct action protest only highlights the issues of the day. It is legislators who have the power to enact law that will correct the issues you highlighted by doing your protest, and you have to show up on election day to put those folks who support your policy positions into office and keep them there.
The sooner some of you peeps on the left get that through your heads the better.
To break it down for you, it should be painfully obvious by now that you can't get liberal-progressive legislation to come out of a conservative legislator. You .much take your behinds to the polls and vote for the people at the civil, county, state, and federal level to enact the type of change you wish to see happen.
You aren't going to get progressive change if you continue to be stupid enough to sit out elections because you're not happy with how it's gridlocked at the moment. You peeps sitting out and not voting is a contributing reason why it's fracked up.
I know from my people's history that voting is important. It has been drilled into me since I was a toddler and when I turned 18 one of the things I received in addition to a birthday card with money stuck inside it was a voter registration one
So yes, I place a high importance on voting and will be exhorting people through this blog from now until the deadline day to get registered to vote and showing up on November 6 or whenever you state's early voting period occurs knowing that low turnout elections favor conservafools.
They know it too since they have been busy since January 2011 trying to supprsss votes in advance of the 2012 presidential election.
I also don't look at it when I step into the voting booth as me voting for 'the lesser of two evils'. I look at it as who is the best candidate that not only reflects my values but will fight for and enact through liberal-progressive legislation the policies I wish to see implemented in my city, county, my state and this nation?
So it's not only time that vanillacentric liberal progressives understand how important voting is in achieving our goals, they begin to wake up and smell the coffee that while they're bitching about the political system, the Tea Klux Klan and the conservafool movement are mobilizing to ensure the system the vanillacentric 'libruls' hate so much stays in place.
Your vote is your voice. Sounds simplistic, but if you don't use it, the other sides voices will be heard loud and clear as they were in 2010 and you'll get jacked up policies you didn't want becoming the law of the land as a result of that.

Archive for the 'secure web site security' tag
Simple Steps to Secure Your Website no comments
If you run a personal or business website then it's vital you take steps to secure your website and protect it from hackers. Criminals have many reasons for wanting to gain unauthorized access to your content, and all of them will impact you and your business in a negative way. By following the steps below, you will not only keep your website and data safe, but also your business.
Renaming Directories
When hackers want to take control of your website and to cause damage, they will search for your administration directories. If they can locate them, then the hackers can steal your login details or give themselves access. Many programs are available that will scan websites to find administrative credentials, and you can protect yourself by renaming your directories.
Although this step might seem small, don't get tempted to overlook it because you must do everything that you can to stay safe. The name that you give your directories is not important as long as you know how to access them when you need to make changes.
Complex Passwords
Hackers will sometimes use brute force software to access your administration panel, and they can do anything they want from there. The brute force software works by repeatedly entering different numbers and letters into the username and password fields until it finds the correct combination. You can protect yourself from such attacks by using strong passwords that contain letters, numbers and special characters.
Although it's still possible for hackers to use brute force software to break into your website, they are not likely to succeed. A complex password can resist a brute force attack for several thousand years before the correct combination is discovered. Unless your website contains extremely sensitive data, the hackers will likely move on to an easier target.
Encrypt Your Important Files
Many people store files on their website as plain text, and that makes it easy for hackers to steal and read the information. The problem becomes that much worse when the data contains the credit card numbers of your customers. You can add an extra layer of safety by encrypting your files so that they become all but impossible to read.
An encryption program works by scrambling a file until it's unreadable, and only the person with the correct decryption key can reverse the process. If your important files are encrypted, hackers will not be able to see them even if they gain access to your website.
One of the ways that hackers gain access to a website is by looking for software vulnerabilities. They will reverse engineer software and scripts to find methods to take control of your content and to view your files. To combat that problem, software developers consistently release updates for their programs, which address known weaknesses.
But some webmasters are still reluctant to update their sites because they don't want to experience any downtime. When you choose not to install recent updates, you are inviting criminals to exploit you and your users. Ensure that you are always using the latest scripts when your goal is to safeguard your website.
When protecting your website data is your No. 1 goal, utilizing a backup solution is a must. However, If all of your files and backups are stored on the same server, you risk losing everything if that server gets destroyed or compromised. The good news is that you can combat this problem by utilizing a Cloud Backup solution. This option involves uploading the data that you want to protect to 'The Cloud' – a cluster of servers located in a remote, secure data center.
Running a business can be very demanding and it may not leave you with enough spare time to regularly maintain your website's security. If this scenario sounds familiar, your best bet may be to switch to a Managed web hosting solution. TurnKey Internet offers a complete all-inclusive fully managed service that lets you focus on your customers while running your business – leave the infrastructure, software updates, security, backups, and uptime to us.
We provide a turnkey solution that employs a unique combination of Application and Network Engineers, deep-level performance monitoring and on-going guidance to maintain and optimize your cloud-based hosted infrastructure. You get all-access to our support and network engineers – far more cost-efficient than hiring, on-boarding, and building your own team of tech gurus. As technology changes daily, we'll keep your systems secure and up-to-date, while you focus on your business. For more information, visit turnkeyinternet.net

DROWN Attacks – Web Encryption No Longer Safe – Is My Web Site at Risk? no comments
Encryption fills the headlines with stories of APPLE and decoding iPhones – but with all the security challenges and cyber threats today – its getting hard pressed to have a web site, computer, or mobile device and not realize your data is as private as you once thought. Encryption is what protects (hides) the details of what we do online certain web sites – keeping your private banking or purchasing data (or online traffic hidden) from prying eyes. But last month a new threat called DROWN was publicized that essentially made it so many web sites you shop, visit or utilize that you thought were secure and private via their https SSL encrypted access turned out to not be so private.
DROWN, standing for Decrypting RSA with Obsolete and Weakened eNcryption, is an xample of a cross-protocol attack that exploits weaknesses in the widely used online encryption protocol, SSLv2. Using weaknesses in the SSLv2 implementations against TLS (transport layer security) hackers can "decrypt passively collected TLS sessions from up to date clients." Or in simpler terms, hackers and anyone can see what you are doing, your personal details, and more when you thought you may of been protected by that SSL 'lock' protected symbol next to the web site you were shopping or visiting.
TLS is probably the most important security protocol on the internet. Almost every action you take on the internet relies on the use of a TLS version. Not just you accessing a web site, but a lot of the back behind the scenes things like email transmission, to database connections, to sending files between servers for backups.
Fortunately, the latest versions of OpenSSL do not utilize SSLv2 connections by default. However, if your certificate or key is being used in another location on a server that supports SSLv2, you could be at risk. For example, the mail service (POP, IMAP, SMTP connections).
A DRWON attack would be able to decrypt HTTPS connections, sending specifically designed packets to another server. If the certificate is on more than one server, it is possible a MitM (man in the middle) attack can be successful.
Isn't SSLv2 depreciated? Why is this still a threat? In the early 2000's SSLv2 was still supported by browsers, to be used as a fallback protocol. An attacker could easily trick the browser into using an older protocol. Thankfully, this is no longer an issue if you are using a recent version of your web browser.
While browsers are no longer supporting SSLv2, most servers still do. Most servers are configured to use both TLS and SSLv2. This means both protocols would use the same RSA private key. Therefore, any bugs in the SSLv2 protocol that use the private key, potentially could affect the security of TLS.
While this all may sound a little scary, as most security vulnerabilities are. TurnKey Internet takes all security avenues very seriously. Our web hosting servers and software are always kept up to date. If your account is on any of our shared hosting packages, you have nothing to worry about. Just in case, you want to test your sites security against DROWN or the server your account is hosted on. Please feel free to do so here – https://drownattack.com/#check You will need to use the IP address your site is living on and not your domain name – which you can easily find by using a DNS lookup service such as http://www.getip.com/.
If you need assistance finding your web sites IP, or reviewing your security please send us a support ticket (email@example.com) and we would be happy to tell you.

BUZZ/SAW: Jodie Foster Freaks Again?
Jodie Foster may be passing on "Hannibal," the grisly sequel to "The Silence of the Lambs," but she isn't quite abandoning oddball projects.
Come this spring, she'll be producing and directing "Flora Plum," a period film about a young waif (Claire Danes) who is adopted by a circus and befriended by a freak who falls for her while running her newfound showbiz career.
The movie is a return to the "freak" territory Foster roamed in so many of her films prior to this winter's regal "Anna and the King." Foster's pre-"Anna" "freaky" string of troubled characters and assorted weirdos dates back as far as 1972 and "Kansas City Bomber" (in which she played the daughter of a female roller-derby star).
The freaky Foster roster also includes: "Taxi Driver" (she's a kid hooker in a creepy nocturnal New York); "Nell" (she's a wolf-girl); "Carny" (she's working in another circus backdrop); the creepy "Little Girl Who Lives Down the Road;" the bizarre "The Hotel New Hampshire;" "Five Corners" (about some violent Bronx creeps); "Little Man Tate" (in which Foster raises a kid genius); and "Shadows and Fog" (she's a prostitute — again). Even in the more-conventional "Contact," Foster's out there — as an astronomer who connects with distant voices.
Of course, serious-minded actors and filmmakers such as Foster look for the unusual in the characters and stories they attach themselves to. But Foster may have another reason for leaving "Hannibal" and its grotesqueries behind. She's a new mom, and motherhood demands kinder, gentler, kid-friendly projects.
Foster's also doing a little bit of Ivy League networking with "Flora Plum" — she's a Yale grad; Danes is a Yale student.
TAKE IT TO THE IMAX: Disney has just released "Fantasia 2000" on big IMAX screens around the world in 16 countries. We already know the screens can be as tall as eight stories — so tall, in fact, that the whales that appear in "Fantasia"'s "Pines of Rome" segment appear actual size. But there are other "big" facts that fill IMAX's "tall" tale.
For instance: The total weight of just one "Fantasia 2000" IMAX print is more than 350 pounds. And the total length of this print could cover five miles. (And let's not forget that the IMAX film frame is a huge 15mm x 70mm).
More tidbits: The IMAX film is strong enough to pull a truck; the lamp of an IMAX projector burns as hot as the surface of the sun; and, oh yeah, "Fantasia 2000" is so good, we're hoping its box-office receipts live up to its "big" reputation.
NOT QUITE MODEL BEHAVIOR: Hollywood film and music mogul Ted Field ("Terminal Velocity," "Jumanji," "Runaway Bride,") of Interscope Communications brought his annual New Year's Eve bash east this past holiday, throwing a lavish party at New York's legendary disco haunt Studio 54.
Disco legend and occasional screen presence Grace Jones was hired to entertain the troops. (She reportedly was paid $30,000 for a half-hour's work, which included baring her chest for the revelers.) Those who attended said that the crowd was very young and stocked with models, several of whom did what so many of us do New Year's Eve — drink and eat way too much.
More than a few of these unfortunates escaped upstairs to Studio's famous dark bleacher balconies to recover as only one can when too much food and drink must be unleashed. (We're praying for an impeccable clean-up since Studio is normally home to the Broadway smash "Cabaret.")
On a happier note, Harvey Keitel, Matt Dillon, "American Beauty" temptress Mena Suvari and singing sensation Enrique Iglesias held their food and liquor nicely, enabling them to party into the wee hours.
A Person Who Doesn't Need People: Barbra Streisand was the talk in Vegas over the weekend, most specifically in some corners of the New Year's Eve party at Las Vegas' Studio 54. The Vegas version of the celebrated club is located at the MGM Grand Hotel where Streisand performed two New Year's Eve shows.
The whispers concerned the comings and goings of Ms. Streisand earlier that day. Seems that while traveling down the private hallways in the inner sanctum of the Grand in her golf cart, Streisand's handlers ordered all others in the passageways to turn and face the walls so they wouldn't see her. One celeb who actually knows Babs was appalled but followed orders like everyone else. …
Hot Tip: Attention indie film scouts everywhere: There's a feature that has fallen under the radar that will be making a premiere soon at a big upcoming film fest and Those Who Have Seen say its terrif. Titled "East of A" and shot in L.A. in spite of its N.Y. locale, the drama follows three people who share an East Village loft in the 1980s and '90s. Look for action on this one. …
The French Are En-"titled": The Julia Roberts/Richard Gere smash "Runaway Bride," now playing all over France, has been retitled for the French in English, with "Just Married" replacing "Runaway Bride." A cinephile living in the heart of France explained that the reason for the English title has to do with the "chicness" surrounding English words in France. And "Just Married" is a little easier to understand than "Runaway Bride." …
Cable Vindaloo Won't Do: The people of India may like their food red hot vindaloo-style, but they won't get their movies very spicy. The folks at HBO, who will be launching their pay-cable service in India in a few months, have found themselves saddled with an unexpected chore: having to sit through just about every film they'll be offering on their service.
The problem is that all hot spots must be removed. No-no's in India include the F-word, nudity and the "Pink Flamingos" brand of scatological naughtiness. (And, yes, that John Waters camp classic is in the HBO-India package. Just not in its "classic" form.)

Hello, I am in trouble to recognize one me would go flash 29l3211. I am having the mistake flash id:DBDB unknown flash flashrom
Great project ... This is exactly what I was looking for. Order with PCB and elektronic parts in progress... I have one question about reader ... You said i can connect PC to reader and communicate via Serial Port... It's possible the same with Raspberry Pi ? I want to have access to my ROMs in Raspberry and run in RetroPie.... Maybe some of you have already tried?
Connect the missing D8-D15 lines and the byte pin and use 16bit mode if you followed the "8bit Flash" pinout from pinout.xls . Or if you really connected the flashrom following the "16bit Flash in 8bit Mode" pinout from pinout.xls try the V1.3 I just uploaded and see if it fixed flashing in 8bit mode.

The transfer of the sold-out Donmar Warehouse production of Lynn Nottage's Pulitzer Prize-winning play Sweat is now in its final 10 days at the Gielgud Theatre.'The year's most powerful play' (Observer) delivers 'a knock-out blow of theatrical force' (Daily Telegraph) as it explores the forgotten heart of middle America in Reading, Pennsylvania, a once-proud manufacturing hub of the American Dream. Set in an all-American downtown bar, this 'breathtaking new play' (The Guardian) 'effortlessly flits between humour, heartbreak and trauma' (Broadway World) as it follows the lives and relationships of factory floor workers. As the threat of de-industrialisation looms, simmering racial tensions and mounting anger lead to a devastating outcome for the divided community.'By turns profound, terrifying, earthy and witty, Lynette Linton's superbly calibrated production excels from start to finish' (Evening Standard) and 'gives a fascinating insight into Trump's America' (The Times). This 'humane, heartbreaking' and 'magnificent' play (Financial Times) is an 'an absorbing and moving cry from the heart' (What's On Stage), 'a masterpiece' (Time Out).

Carry Bags for Promotional Purposes
If you happen to be in sales then you are probably well aware of the importance of promotional items. These items can take a startup organization and propel it to the international level of both sales and prestige. The question however is which items should you use, and the answer to this question is very simple: you use what the customer needs.
Because business is built around customers, you will need to take a look at your clientele and determine what they would need the most. In this case we will discuss carry bags and their potential impact on your customers. The first thing you should know is that almost everyone could use a carry bag. There are many people out there, both manual laborers and CEO's that require a small bag at certain points in their daily routine whether it is to carry an overflow of items, or to create a presentation bag.
Give Some Environmental Promotional Products
Going for eco-friendly product choices is, more importantly, a cause. More and more people have been encouraged to patronize consumer products that are natural, organic, and chemical-free, and generally one coming from a company which supports sustainable development. But here is a case of a cause which has evolved into a growing trend. Environmental promotional products are riding in the bandwagon, so to speak. Giving away green promotional products reflects on the value of your brand. On top creating brand awareness, your company, as the maker or manufacturer of the brand you are promoting, is embracing social responsibility. Hence, you stand to gain credibility, integrity and the support of the growing number of populace who espouse a cleaner, greener Earth....
Promotional Products Can Be the Best Advertisement Money Can Buy
Advertising costs seem to be skyrocketing these days. With the economy being as tight as it is important to cut as many corners as possible without negatively affecting your company's revenue generation. Advertising is really something that you do not want to skimp on, but what is an affordable way to advertise your business?...

Former Canucks' draft bust nets unbelievable shootout goal in the KHL
With his soft hands, Nicklas Jensen would likely make quite the masseuse if he wasn't playing hockey for Jokerit Helsinki of the KHL.
He put his nasty mitts on display during a shootout against Amur Khabarovsk in regular season action on Thursday. After sixty minutes of play and overtime solved nothing, the 29th overall pick in the 2011 NHL draft opened the 'breakaway challenge' with this ridiculous move.
Sick shootout goal by Nicklas Jensen in the KHL today…. 👀 pic.twitter.com/jWdFLfi0KK
— Robert Söderlind (@HockeyWebCast) January 17, 2019
The 25-year-old from Denmark baited goaltender Marek Langhamer by swinging the puck out to his right with one hand, brought it back the other way and nicely chipped it over the sprawling netminder's pad on the left.
Jensen last played in the NHL during the 2016-17 season when he skated in seven games for the New York Rangers. In his 33 NHL contests with the Rangers and Vancouver Canucks, he collected three goals and six points.
Jensen also scored in regulation during the contest. He now has 15 goals and 31 points in 36 games this season.

Being able to photograph an engagement session at a California nature preserve has been on our bucket list since we moved here. let's be honest, there is a lot of natural beauty in California, and you could probably walk out of your front door in fifty percent of the State and be in a nature preserve. Luckily for us our future bride and groom, Amelia and David, were up for the challenge of photographing in a wild area. We joked about the terrain and how important shoe choices are when doing a shoot like this. Needless to say, high heels are not the best choice for a photo shoot like this. Luckily no one was wearing stilettos.
Amelia and David will be married this September, three months to the day from this photo shoot. They have chosen Scotts Seafood on the River For their venue. It is a beautiful location, very elegant,right on the water, and should be a fantastic location for an early fall California wedding. When we first met with Amelia, we invited her to our new loft near midtown. Meeting clients in our home is still a little new to us, but all of us had a great time and really hit it off well. Instead of David, Amelia brought one of her friends who is already married and had a little experience with photographers . She asked all of the good questions and helped Amelia understand some of the important factors that go into choosing photographers. When they left that night, Dana and I talked about how much we enjoyed Amelia and how comfortable the whole interaction was. It wasn't until about a month later that we met David. Once we met him we could immediately see that these two are perfect for each other. The more we get to know them and learn about their story, the more we can really see everything falling into place for them.
Soon this couple will be beginning the journey of marriage together so it was nice to able to catch up with them during this engaged time…. that period of time where you are committed to each other but not yet married. Being engaged can sometimes feel like a year of wedding planning and not much more, but as you can see in their smiles and in the playful way they interact with each other that this couple is enjoying this time in their life. Amelia and David, thanks for going off of the beaten path with us and allowing us to capture you two during this special time of your life.

Inlays and onlays
Solid restorations for back teeth damaged by decay or fracturing
Something of a halfway stage between fillings and crowns, these restorations are often placed on the chewing surface of back teeth, providing protection for teeth which have suffered a relatively high level of decay or a degree of fracturing, but not so much as to make a crown necessary.
An alternative to placing a soft filling, they fit neatly onto the tooth to cover the entire chewing surface – providing a good combination of functionality, protection and aesthetic qualities.
An onlay is a slightly more substantial version of an inlay, incorporating a replacement for the cusp of the tooth as well as the chewing surface – a kind of partial crown.
Inlays and onlays designed for natural-looking restoration
All the inlays and onlays we fit at St Peter's Lodge are fabricated from tooth-coloured materials for an entirely natural appearance. They're made from solid substances such as porcelain or composite resin.
How we fit your inlays
You'll only need to come to us for two appointments. First of all, decayed tooth structure or old fillings are removed, preparing the tooth cavity for the fitting. We then take an impression of the cavity to fabricate a custom-fit inlay or onlay. On your second appointment this is securely put in place.
To find out more and book an appointment please call us on 01727 853160 or complete our online booking form.

An Extract from the Adventures of Charlie the Caterpillar

- Purchase Disasters and Miracles (the anthology which features Charlie the Caterpillar)
"Let's see, two giraffes, two elephants, two chimpanzees, two monkeys, two zebras, two…."
Noah's voice echoed in Charlie's head. As a caterpillar, he wasn't sure he had ears, but he certainly got the message. He remained motionless as Noah ran first left and then right, encouraging various pairs of animals to take their place in the great ark.
"And what about caterpillars?" blurted out Charlie, "Two of us too? Even the yellow and black spotted ones?"
With the wind whistling in his ears, Noah didn't hear him.
I really should get in touch with the Insects' Rights Movement one of these days, Charlie thought to himself. Lions, tigers, dogs, cats….Oh yes, help out the big handsome ones, why don't you, but what about us?
Charlie's self-pity didn't last for long.
"Want to jump on my back?" puffed Terry the Tortoise, lowering himself to the ground to help Charlie climb on board. As he scampered up, Terry smiled at the rabbit standing in front of them on its hind legs, paws folded, left foot tapping, waiting impatiently for him to edge forwards...."
'Noah and the Caterpillars' is written from the perspective of Charlie the Caterpillar, whose adventures begin when he is carried away by a flood of creatures, convinced that they must quickly board Noah's Ark in order to survive. It is featured in an anthology of children's Bible stories entitled, 'Disasters and Miracles: How It Might Have Been.'

I don't know what Peter Norton is up to these days. In the anti-virus industry, he's probably best remembered for (a) the security products marketed by Symantec that still bear his name (though not the famous pink shirt photograph), though he sold his company to Big Yellow about 20 years ago. In researcher circles, he's also remembered for telling Insight magazine in 1988 or thereabouts that "We're dealing with an urban myth. It's like the story of alligators in the sewers of New York. Everyone knows about them, but no one's ever seen them. Typically, these stories come up every three to five years." Well, quite a few people put computer viruses in the same category as flying saucers around that time. Commodore, for instance, reacted to questions about Amiga malware by saying that it sounded like a hoax, and moved on (1) to ignoring it altogether.
Not long after that, he lent his name to Symantec's antivirus product, which I suppose makes it the world's first anti-hoax software.
I've no idea whether there really are or ever were alligators in the sewers of New York, but according to the BBC, Scotland 's sewage system has quite a few equally bizarre inhabitants. Notably:
- A Mexican Kingsnake
- A goldfish called Pooh
- An anonymous frog
- An equally anonymous badger (no, it wasn't in the company of the frog: what a story that could be…)
The above were all alive and well, if not as sanitary as one might hope. However, a sheep found in a manhole chamber and a cow found in a storm tank did not survive the experience. Other inanimate objects found included credit cards, a working iron, false teeth, jewelry, and some of the hundreds of thousands of mobile phones that Brits are alleged to flush down the loo.
It's not known whether the very smelly aggregation of money mules that is apparently operating out of Scotland and associated with the "London scam" described here is operating out of the same network

Freedom Leaf Inc (OTCMKTS: FRLF) is an exciting Company with a number of subsidiaries making big moves in the CBD and cannabis markets. The Company bills itself as a group of diversified, international, vertically-integrated hemp businesses concentrating on health, wellness, and education as well as cannabis media companies. Freedom Leaf, Inc. has been a leading go-to resource in the cannabis, medical marijuana and industrial hemp industries since 2014, founded by professionals with decades of combined experience in marijuana legalization advocacy. FRLF is building a diverse portfolio of valuable businesses through strategic mergers, acquisitions, and acceleration projects across the industry.
FRLF's portfolio of acquisitions includes the recently acquired hemp CBD product line Irie CBD; and their wholly-owned hemp extraction division Leafceuticals, Inc.; FRLF exclusive health and wellness CBD brand "Hempology;" and their hemp greenhouse cultivation with recent acquisition of a facility in Valencia, Spain; its hemp-based rolling paper company Plants to Paper; two of the largest Spanish-speaking cannabis web portals in the world LaMarihuana.com and Marihuana-Medicinal.com ; and, of course, its flagship publication, Freedom Leaf Magazine .
Freedom Leaf skyrocketed in October after the Company received a significant investment from cannabis private equity firm Merida Capital Partners to further expand its existing US sales channels and accelerate its European hemp cultivation operations. Freedom Leaf and Merida have also agreed in principal to a strategic partnership by which Merida will provide certain operational resources and support for both Freedom Leaf's US hemp-based cannabidiol (CBD) sales efforts and their global cultivation operations. In connection with Merida's investment, Merida Senior Partner David Goldburg will be joining the Freedom Leaf Board of Directors.
Freedom Leaf said they will use the investment to upgrade their recently acquired 430,000 square foot greenhouse facility in Valencia, Spain, which is already harvesting hemp for sale in Europe; securing GMP certification for the Valencia facility, which should allow Freedom Leaf to add cannabis cultivation to its existing hemp production; iii) developing the Company's hemp extraction, distillation and processing lab in North Las Vegas; iv) expanding the Company's ecommerce funnel for CBD sales as well as its online media properties; and v) optimizing the Company's product formulation and distribution supply chain.
On October 31 Freedom Leaf surprised analysts and investors by exceeding its revenue guidance for its last quarter of its June 30 2018 fiscal year of $400K issued in a press release on July 3rd by 47% delivering revenue of $590K. Additionally its latest acquisition, Tierra Sciences Global, has generated $167K in the first 30 days of their prelaunch in affiliate marketing campaign. We project that the first quarter of our current fiscal year will be above approximately $600,000. Freedom Leaf CEO Clifford J Perry stated, "2018 was a transition year as we integrated Irie and Hempology brands and rationalized our supply chain. Closing Q4 with a 47% above our revenue guidance reflects these efforts and sets us up for a strong year of growth in 2019."
Earlier this month Freedom Leaf entered into an LOI to acquire Hemp2o, a brand of hemp-infused beverages cofounded by San Francisco cannabis entrepreneur and rapper Gilbert Milam Jr., better known by his stage name Berner. Hemp2o, which offers eight flavors of organic hemp-infused beverages including top selling flavors "Sunset Sherbert", "Strawberry Watermelon", and "Blueberry Apricot", expects to generate over $2.0 million of revenue in calendar 2018. Its beverages are currently sold by national retailers including selected Whole Foods on the W. Coast, 700 Safeway/Albertsons on the W. Coast and in the S. West, selected Target locations in Los Angeles and San Francisco as well as on Amazon.com. The transaction, which involves a combination of both cash and Freedom Leaf stock, is expected to close in December.
Freedom Leaf CEO Cliff Perry commented on the pending acquisition, stating "We are excited to welcome Hemp2o into the Freedom Leaf family, and look forward to expanding our national footprint based on their success of established authorized accounts in some of the largest retailers in the U.S. We believe that our consolidated sales teams and expanded product selection will increase revenue through both of our respective channels."

Many Native American College Basketball Players Earn Post Season Awards
LAWRENCE, KANSAS— Back in November, at the start of the college basketball season, we wrote the article titled, "10 Native American Basketball Players to watch this College Basketball season." It wasn't a list of all the Native American college basketball players competing in college athletics but it was list of players we thought that could have a significant impact for their respective teams this season. Little did we know how successful the players on this list would be. The list would include a NAIA National Champion and first ever Native American MVP, more than a few Freshman of the Year recipients, a Final Four participant, a record breaker and the most heralded basketball player in Native Basketball history.
Here is the link read our pre-season list of the 10 players:
Now lets see how they finished:
10. Preston Wynne, (Spokane Tribe) a 6-1 senior guard for Vanguard University out of Costa Mesa, California, led his Vanguard Lions to the men's 2014 NAIA Division 1 National Championship and earned tournament honors by making the 1st team all tournament and he became the first ever Native American named the Tournament MVP. Preston also led his team to the Golden State Athletic Conference regular season & tournament championship and was named the GSAC Player of the Year this season as well.
8. Keli Warrior, (Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma) a 6-1 freshman center for Haskell Indian Nations University out of Lawrence, Kansas, was named the Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year and she also earned First Team All Conference.

7. Abby Scott, (Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs) a 6-1 guard for New Mexico State University out of Las Cruces, New Mexico, had a break out season for the Aggies. Against Chicago State, Abby made (11) 3-pointers to break not only the NMSU school record but also the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) record for 3-pointers in a game. Abby finished the season ranked #1 in the women's NCAA Division 1 in 3 points made in a game. She now sits tied for third in the NMSU Aggie record book for most points in a game.
6. Bronson Koenig, (Ho-Chunk Nation) a 6-3 freshman point guard for the University of Wisconsin out of Madison, Wisconsin, was the leading 6th man off the bench this season as a freshman for the Badgers and led the bench in minutes at 15.1 minutes per game.

5. Shauna Long, (Standing Rock Sioux) a 5-4 junior guard for Lamar University out of Beaumont, Texas, led the team in 3 point shots made this season for the Cardinals by making a total of 68 this season.

4. Seth Youngblood, (Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma) a 6-1 freshman guard for the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith, was named the Heartland Conference Freshman of the Year for the NCAA Division II conference out of Texas. Youngblood, a native of Roland, Okla., averaged a team-high 14.5 points per game while shooting 50 percent from the field (122 for 244), 44 percent from 3-point range (72 for 163) and 79 percent from the free-throw line (60 for 76). He also averaged 2.3 rebounds per game. He was third on the team with 53 assists and second on the team with 14 steals.
3. Tesha Buck, (Prairie Island Indian Community) a 5-11 freshman guard for the University of Wisconsin – Green Bay, was named the Horizon Leagues Freshman of the Year. The Horizon League is a NCAA Division 1 conference. A four time freshman of the week honoree, Buck started all 28 games for the Phoenix this season to become the first true freshman to start since Sarah Eichler during the 2009-10 season. Averaging 10.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.8 steals, Buck led the team in both assists and steals per game, and was the top freshman in the conference in each category but rebounding.
2. Marshal Henderson, (Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma) a 6-2 senior guard for the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) was named to the All-SEC second team this season. Henderson, a second team All-SEC pick a year ago as well, finished conference play ranked third in the league in scoring at 19.1 points per game and ranked third in the nation hitting 4.29 3-pointers a game. He has also made a 3-pointer in an SEC record 66-straight games dating back to last season. Henderson also picked up the All-District second team honors from the US Basketball Writers Association for the second-consecutive year.
1. Shoni Schimmel, (Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation). Shoni finished out her college career with an outstanding senior season. This season Schimmel was named to the USBWA All-American team and named a second team ESPNW All-American. She was also a WBCA All-Region I selection. Schimmel was named a first team All-American Athletic Conference and earned all-tournament honors. She was also named a Naismith semifinalist and named to the Wooden ballot. Shoni was also named second team All-American by the Associated Press and named WBAC 2nd team All-American. This year she became the second player in school history to score 2,000 career points and she currently ranks second on Louisville's all-time scoring list with 2,143 points. Schimmel also has dished out 596 assists and pulled down 547 rebounds.
Again, this isn't a complete list of all the Native American athletes that won awards this season. Just the ones we thought would have a chance to by season's end but it would be important to name those we know of as well, so here a few more:
- Nikki Lewis (Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma), a senior guard for Tabor College, was named the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conferences' Player of the Year.
- Jordyn Kirk (Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate), a sophomore forward for Lake Region State College, was named the Mon-Dak Most Valuable Player of the Year
If you know any that we have omitted please by all means send the information to us so we can update the list. We are looking forward to another great year of Native American basketball next season.

Mom to Zoe Rayanne
February 3rd-February 12th, 2002
Temple, TX
February 3, 2002 I gave birth to a perfect little 6lbs7oz girl. I named her Zoe Rayanne. She was perfect in every way. Ten fingers and toes, dark hair, and the sweetest eyes I'd ever seen.
Zoe was the product of a relationship gone badly. Her father and I broke up when I was only 9 weeks pregnant. He was scared and didn't want the responsibility of a child. During my pregnancy I would try and call him or give updates through mutual friends. He would say that it wasn't his kid. He knew it was his child but would lie to our friends to keep them off his back. He called me a slut more than once. I guess this made him feel better. It took me a few months to realize that he wasn't going to change. By my 3rd trimester I was ok with having my baby on my own. I had my family to help me and I was a strong determined women. I also had a 5 year old DD to worry about.
February 2, 2002 – We were having a birthday party for my 5 year old when I started having some labor pains. Her b-day is Jan. 31st. So here I am with a house full of screaming girls and going into labor. This was a sleep over so we had the party, got the girls ready for bed. My best friend stayed with them and my mom took me to the hospital. The doctor checked me and said "yep, we're having a baby". She was a few weeks early, but he said everything would be fine. At 10:23 the next morning she was here. My little brother who was 18 at the time was my stand in dad. He cut the cord and was my strength through it all. She was perfect! We had the normal stay in the hospital for a day and then went home.
The first night was a little too easy. She wasn't a crier. She woke a few times to be fed and then she was right back to sleep. I made remarks at the time that she had the best temperament. She was calm and didn't really cry. The next day (3days old) she was sleeping and I knew something wasn't right. She would sleep for long periods at a time and I would have to wake her up to feed her. She also wasn't latching on (I was breastfeeding). So I went to the store to buy a pump. While I was gone my mom said she noticed that her breathing was real slow. I took her to the ER right away. They started running tests and couldn't figure out what was wrong. She was lethargic and non responsive.
That night was the beginning of a very long journey. She was sent to another hospital with a better NICU and they still had no clue what was going on. By her 6th day she was transferred to a children's hospital and put on something called ECMO, this is baby life support. She was unresponsive and they could only think that she had contracted a virus and weren't sure what if anything they could do to reverse what had already happen to her body.
On her 8th day of life the doctors came to me and said that she had suffered extensive brain damage. She was brain dead and I needed to make the decision to take her off of life support. This was by far the worst thing anyone has ever said to me. I alone had to make this very powerful decision to end my child's life. By now news had spread through our friends that the baby was in the hospital and he shows up to inform me that he has a say in what was is going on. So being the mature and caring person I am I held back the fact that he hadn't been there for all the months' prier and tell him that I had decided to take her off life support the next day. He insists that he hear everything from the doctors for himself. After a clear explanation from the doctors we deicide that removing her is the only option we have. Also let me be clear that this wasn't a decision that was made lightly. I'm a firm believer in the pursuit of life. I believe that if she had not been declared brain dead I would have left her on there forever if that's what it took. I at one point I told the hospital staff that I didn't care if I had to change her diapers for the rest of her life, just make her better.
On February 12, 2002, I took Zoe in my arms. She was nine days old now and I hadn't held her in six days. I held her as they removed the machines and stopped all the IV's. The mood was calm and peaceful. 28 minutes later she drew in her last breath. I look back now thankful that I was there to welcome this angel into the world and I was there to send her out. She was at peace.
The next few days were a blur. Funeral arrangements, the music, the flowers, the officiator, and all those details that you never think you will have to do with a child. These weeks were supposed to be a time of cute and cuddly things. Finishing up final touches to her room. Showing her off to my friends. Talking about how much she looked like her sister. Laughing about all those sleepless nights.
Going through this changed me. It made me stand back and look at the world in a new way. I used to be petty. I used to think that I was weak. I used to think that love alone could protect my child. I used to think that I needed a man to complete me. I used to believe that I had to be perfect. I truly know sadness now and all the other things just don't add up. I know now that I am a strong, determined mother who has been to the bottom and some how came out of it alive.
I spent weeks and months feeling sorry for myself. I got all the normal "oh I'm so sorry for your lose" comments from everyone I knew. Everyone made a point to remind me that she was in a better place. Oh and the big one was "everything happens for a reason". You know all those things you're supposed to say to some one who's suffered a loss of a loved one. I confess that I hated it all. I would think in the back of mind "how and why do you care", "no one knows what I'm going through", "screw that better place she was supposed to be with me." I was bitter. I was hurting. I was mad. I went through all the stages of grief.
The day it all changed was the day my 5 year old climbed in my lap and said, "Mommy, I love you. I'm still here" then I knew that I had more to live for than I had remembered. She needed me to be strong. She needed me to be her mommy. We had both lost some one and she was just as hurt as I was. Along with losing a sister she was slowly losing her mommy. By then we had moved back home with my mom and I had taken a leave at work. Months of lying in the bed crying about it had almost killed me. I realized that I had to do something. I searched for support groups in my area and found nothing that dealt with infant loss. I wrote journals. I went to church. I was looking for something to fix what had been broken. My mom said I needed love. I went out with friends. I tried but nothing and no one was going to fix my broken heart. I had mended enough to take care of my child and also go back to work, but there was still something missing.
So here I was a single mom alone with a broken heart. I had a friend that had been my friend for years. He was in the waiting room when Zoe was born and he was there when she died. He was purely my friend. Months after her death he and I started hanging out more. He was originally my brothers friend so I kind of thought of him as my brother. He and I started talking about life and what we wanted, come to find out we had more in common than we ever knew. He was the strength I needed. Friendship grew into a love I had never known. He and I were inseparable from that point. 7.5 years have passed and we're still together. He is the most caring man I have ever known. He knew me before the tragedy of losing my child, he knew me before I was tarnished my bitterness. He was the one to help me find my way out of the dark places that my mind would wonder. He is also the best role model for my daughter. It took him a few years to convince me to marry him, but March 1st we'll celebrate our 2 year anniversary. Jan. 2009 we decided to start another chapter of our lives. The pain of losing Zoe had healed enough that he and I were ready to start TTC. I wanted him to experience having a child of his own. One year later here I am. I cry every month when AF shows up. It's like losing my baby all over again. The failure of another month gone by and still no BFP. Through it all DH stays positive and optimistic. Once again he is my strength. He makes me smile everyday with the simple gestures. He leaves me a note taped to the bathroom mirror saying he loves me. He calls during the day just to say hello. He is incredible at finding ways to make me smile.
Though I've been dealt some bad hands in life I've also been given the best prizes. I have a beautiful 13 year old daughter, a loving and wonderful husband, and a sweet guardian angel baby to watch over us all.

Balance your hormones, lose the weightGet Started
I want...
July 26, 2011 By Leanne Vogel November 9, 2017I asked my followers on Facebook a couple of weeks ago what quinoa flake bake flavor I should come up with next. Although there was a strong following for carrot cake at first, snickerdoodle ended up sliding into first base. A couple of tries later and I successfully landed on a cake that was perfectly sweet, dense, but not too hard, and resembled a cookie. Booya! Then I made it for myself 6 additional times just to be sure. It's all about quality control, folks. ;)

Kay Kenyon reports on this past weekend's Orycon in Portland, Oregon, and the subsequent SF/F AuthorFest at Powell's Books. She writes: "Orycon was in fine form this year, with GOH Robert Charles Wilson, among others. I was there too, and signed a few books and one robot. This yet-to-be-named robot will soon sport hundreds of sf/f fantasy author signatures. It will be auctioned off at a major venue like World Con or the RadCon Toxic Waste Party for the benefit of the Endeavour Award. (Won this weekend by Robin Hobb.)" Here is Kay and the unnamed robot (left).
Meanwhile, at the Powell's AuthorFest, Kay signs Bright of the Sky next to the wonderful Mary Rosenblum, on hand with her novel Horizons. Also pictured on the left, Eldon Thompson.
In related Kenyon news, Calico Reaction has read Bright of the Sky and says, "Let me just start off by praising her ability to create real, individual characters from the start. ....what amazed me with Bright of the Sky is that every character, no matter how minor, reads like a real, individual person from the moment you meet him/her...."
Which is very nice. And she continues:
"Another reason this book's worth the effort is the amazing complexity of the world-building. This world (story, characters, EVERYTHING) is so intricate that I can only marvel at the revelation of it. I know I sound over the top, but if you sit down with this book and start reading, you start to realize just how deep the world-building goes. ...I'm really impressed."
And that's nice too. And finally:
"There's a weight to this book, a depth, that really drew me in from the start. It's not a fast read in that the prose flies off the page, but it's by no means a slow read either. It's a book you want to savor and absorb, gathering all the information and clues you can, because the story and characters and EVERYTHING is so damn complex. I keep saying that, I know, but it is. Just when you think you know what's at stake, you find out that you really don't. And that's what keeps you reading."
And that's nice enough for one blog post.

As near as I can tell the last time I lined up for a MTB race was March 2012, but a stick ended that one mere seconds after the gun, so let's ignore it and go to the last one I finished. The Surfcoast 6hr on the 22nd of October 2011.
Holy shit, that's over 5 years ago... I haven't raced MTB in 5 years! Still, that doesn't make it feel less odd to get an email from MTBA saying my MTB license has lapsed, and consciously decide not too renew it. I held on to it these last few years for tradition, but we're in Australia... we celebrate christmas by having a bbq and going to the beach, so we don't really have a tradition of tradition.
Oh well should the need to race fat knobbies arise again, at least I'll get given my trusty 4 digit member number back.

The eastern part of the territory is level, lying in the fertile
valley of the Missisquoi river, while the western part, extends up upon
the main chain of the Green Mountains, being a succession of rugged mountain
peaks from Montgomery mountain in the southern part, to Jay peak in the
northeastern part. South of Montgomery mountain, between it and the north
line of Lowell, the range is made passable by Hazen's Notch, a gap several
hundred feet in depth. Its name was derived from Gen. Hazen who built the
Hazen road in revolutionary times. The beautiful views and romantic scenery
of this section are mentioned on page 164. The principal stream is the
Missisquoi river, which runs in a northeasterly direction through the southeast
corner of the town, receiving several tributaries which form
an accession to its waters equal to nearly the original amount on entering
the town. The first of these is called Coburn brook. It rises near the
line of Jay, and, running in a southeasterly direction into Jay, enters
the Missisquoi near the south village. The next branch of importance is
Mill brook, a southeasterly direction through the village. The next runs
in a south, and then in a northerly direction, uniting with Mill brook
near the Troy line. This stream received its name from Lyman Taft, who
erected the first grist and saw-mill in town, upon its banks. The most
southerly stream is called Burgess brook, from one of the settlers who
lived near it on West hill. It rises in the southwestern part of the town,
flows a southeasterly course and joins the river near the south line.
Another stream is formed by the confluence of two brooks in the southern
part of Troy and runs a short distance in Westfield into the Missisquoi.
These streams afford many excellent mill-sites, while the broad meadows
of their valleys afford large ranges of excellent farming land, the soil
being of an alluvial character. The timber of the town is that common to
Northern Vermont.
The rocks entering into the geological structure of the territory
are principally of the talcose schist formation, though there are, in the
eastern part, some considerable beds of clay slate and serpentine. Several
large bowlders of granite abound, which have been used for building purposes,
etc. The serpentine rocks extend from Lowell through the southeast corner
of the town into Troy, forming numerous bluffs of several feet in
height. In connection with this range, chromate of iron, bitter spar,
talcose slate, and specimens of asbestos have been found, and also veins
of amianthus, a variety of asbestos having long threads like flax. On road
21, near Hazen's Notch, some St. Albans parties are opening a soapstone
quarry and an asbestos mine which give promise of success.
In 1880, Westfield had a population of 696, and in 1882 was divided
into seven school districts, and contained six common schools employing
two male and eight female teachers, to whom was paid an aggregate salary
of $439.75. There were 138 pupils attending school, while the entire cost
of the schools for the year, ending October 31st., was $483.65, with E.
H. Belyea, superintendent.
Westfield, a post village located in the eastern part of the town,
contains two churches (Methodist Episcopal and Congregational,) a school
building, town hall, two stores, a blacksmith shop, wheelwright shop, and
about 250 inhabitants.
Hoyt & Wakefields mill, located on Taft brook, road 15, manufactures
potato starch, and spruce, hemlock and hardwood lumber, employing ten men.
All, or nearly all, of the original proprietors resided in Rhode
Island, and but one, Thomas Burlingame, ever lived in town and he only
remained a few months. The town was surveyed by Gen. James Whitelaw, of
Ryegate in 1780. Nothing was done towards the settlement of the town,
however, until eighteen years afterwards. In 1798, Jesse Olds, from Massachusetts,
came into the town and commenced a settlement on the West hill. For nearly
a year this family lived here with no neighbors nearer than West Troy,
twelve miles distant. The next year, in 1799, William Hobbs, Anthony Burgess
and John Hartley came to the town with their families. These four families
constituted the population for about four years. On March 29, 1802, the
first town meeting was held at the residence of Mr. Olds, when the following
list of officers were elected: Jesse Olds, town clerk: William Hobbs, Anthony
Burgess, and Warren Mason, selectmen; William Hobbs, treasurer; William
Hobbs, Jesse Olds, and Warren Mason, listers; Anthony Burgess, constable;
William Hobbs, grand juror; Jesse Olds and Anthony Burgess, highway surveyors;
Warren Mason and William Hobbs, fence viewers; Anthony Burgess, pound keeper;
Jesse Olds and Warren Mason, scalers of weights and measures; William Hobbs
and Anthony Burgess, tything men; Anthony Burgess and Jesse Olds, haywards;
and William Hobbs, Warren Mason, Anthony Burgess, James Coburn, John Hartley,
and Samuel Walker, petit jurors.
At this period there was no grist-mill nearer than Craftsbury. A
few of the proprietors of Westfield, wishing to encourage the settlement
of the infant town, made a grant of land to Lyman Taft, of Montague, Mass.,
on condition that he would build a saw-mill on the lot. The mill was built
in 1803 on Taft's brook. It was in operation only a short time, however,
when it was destroyed by fire. In the summer of 1803, David Barber moved
into town and settled on a farm on Taft's brook. Here his eldest child,
Lucina, was born, the first birth in the township. Mr. Barber lived in
the town for over half a century, and raised a large family of children,
dying in 1855. About this time Thomas Burlingame, one of the proprietors,
moved into the town, locating on the Missisquoi river, though he remained
but a short time. In November, 1803, Rodolphus Reed, from Montague, Mass.,
commenced a settlement here. He reared a large family of children and died
in 1841. His wife died in 1867. These families constituted the population
of the town in 1803 and '04, with the addition of two or three unmarried
men, and a mulatto, James Prophet, who lived with Mr. Olds.
In the spring of 1804, Capt. Medad Hitchcock, from Brimfield, Mass.,
moved into town with his three sons, Thomas, Heber, and Smith and settled
where the village of Westfield now is. In the course of a year or two,
Capt. Hitchcock erected a saw-mill. It stood a few rods above the starch
factory of William Richardson.
His son, Thomas, built a grist-mill about the same time, a few rods
below the site of the present saw-mill. These mills supplied a want that
had long been severely felt, as the settlers had been obliged to carry
their grain either to Craftsbury or Richford for grinding.
In 1804, Hosea Sprague, from Brimfield, Mass., came into the town.
He was a soldier of the revolution, and had fought in many or the principal
battles of that war. He subsequently removed to Lowell, where he died about
1840. The next year, 1805, Jacob Stebbins, a son-in-law of Capt. Hitchcock,
came into the town. He reared a large family of children, and died in Sunderland,
Mass., about 1852. From this time forward, until the war of 1812, settlers
came in quite rapidly.
In 1806, the main road from Westfield to Lowell was laid out very
near where the present stage road runs. This was a great convenience to
the inhabitants, as previous to this the only road leading to Craftsbury
ran over West hill, an exceedingly tedious and uncomfortable route.
The first school-house was built on West hill, about 1804-05, the
first teacher being Sally Hobbs. The next school-house was built in 1806,
about six or eight rods east of where the academy now stands. Mrs. Thomas
Hitchcock was the first teacher. The academy was built in 1860.
In 1818, Jerry Hodgkins moved from Belvidere to Westfield and opened
a small store. This was a great convenience to the people, as previous
to this their trading was all done at Craftsbury. He took black salts in
exchange for his goods, and manufactured them into pearl ash. He continued
in trade only about two or three years. In October, 1838, Orlando Winslow
and Russell S. Page opened a store under the title of Winslow & Page,
about twenty rods north of the residence now occupied by Aaron C. Hitchcock.
Just before opening the store they both went to Boston, each with a team
and heavy wagon, carrying a load of butter, and each brought back a load
of goods. In the following March Mr. Page purchased Mr. Winslow's interest
and. continued the business alone. Mr. Winslow then opened a store in the
southern part of the town, where F. Andrews now lives, and continued business
at that location four or five years. In October, 1845, he purchased the
store at Westfield village, of Arad Hitchcock, which Mr. Page had occupied,
and continued in trade until 1853, when he resold to Mr. Hitchcock. All
this time, Mr. Winslow owned and managed his farm in the southern part
of the town, to which he returned in 1853, where he remained until 1860,
then sold out to his son, and returned to the village. About two years
later he, in company with his son-in-law, Ashley Farman, bought a farm
of 123 acres near the village, which is now occupied by D. E. Wright. In
1872, Mr. Winslow sold this interest and retired from business, and is
now living at the village, aged eighty-three years.
The people were without a mail route or a postoffice for nearly
thirty years. About 1830, a mail route was established between Craftsbury
and St. Albans. The road ran over the high mountain between Albany and
Lowell and then over the mountain between Lowell and Montgomery, through
Hazen's Notch. Bradley Sanborn was stage driver. Soon after, a branch route
was established between Lowell and North Troy. Ezra Johnson
carried the mail twice a week, usually on horse-back. A postoffice
was then established in Westfield, and Henry Richardson appointed postmaster.
Previous to this people went to Craftsbury for their mails.
Jacob Stebbins, from Brimfield, Mass., came to Westfield in 1804,
and obtained a lot of land where M.C. Hitchcock now resides. Here he cut
down a piece of timber, built a log house, and in the autumn returned to
Massachusetts. The next year he married Patty Hitchcock and brought her
to his new home. This union was blessed with seven children, only two of
whom, Jacob and Smith, are living. About two years after he located here
Mr. Stebbins was joined by his father, who lived with him during the remainder
of his life.
Luke Miller, from Westminster, Vt., came here in 1816 and located
upon the farm now occupied by his nephew, Albert Miller. By constant industry
he succeeded in clearing this farm and making a home for his family, though
he experienced many hardships, being obliged at times to spend a whole
day in finding a half-bushel of corn or wheat to supply bread. About 1814,
he married Miss Ursula Hitchcock, the union being blessed with eight children,
and by a second marriage the eight was increased to eleven. The oldest
of these, Josiah H. Miller, was brought here when six months of age and
now resides on road 11 at the age of sixty-seven years. All along the years
from the early settlement to the improvements of today, he has marked the
changes and transactions in his town, and none loves it better than he.
Luke was a town officer for many years and died in 1842, aged fifty-three
Sampson Miller, from Westminster, came here in 1824, and located
upon the farm now owned by Mrs. Emeline Clark, where he carried on farming
a number of years then, formed a copartnership with his brother Henry,
in the manufacture of pails. He died in October, 1848. Of his large family
of thirteen children only three now reside in the town. Of the others living,
one resides in Troy, one in Craftsbury, one in Springfield, Mass., and
one in Michigan.
Edson Farman was born at Bath, N.H., May 27, 1808. He received a
common school education, and, at the age of twenty years, came to Troy
and worked at farming with his brother, Safford, who had located there
a year previous. He next went to Lowell, Vt., and purchased a lot of wild
land and commenced to clear a farm, but remained only a few years. He then
sold his improvements and went to Lyman, N.H. About five years subsequent
to this latter change, he returned to Troy and purchased a farm near the
South village, where he remained fourteen years. In 1832, he came to this
town and located on road 12, where he now resides. He married Mary
Ann Farman of Troy, Vt., in 1830. Only two of their large family of children
are living, viz.: Ozro, in Eden, and Mrs. Lois Miller of this town. Mr.
Farman served his townsmen in many positions of trust, among which that
of representative, in 1869-'70.
Lyman Taylor, from Springfield, Vt., came to Westfield in 1836,
locating upon the farm now owned by Bethuel Stone, and now resides on road
17. Mr. Taylor is the father of seventeen children, only two of whom, a
son and a daughter, are living. The son resides in Oregon, the daughter,
Mrs. Charles Tillotson, in Lowell, Vt.
Thomas Trumpass, born in. England, in came to America at the age
of seventeen years, and located in Westfield in 1837. Three years later
he settled on the farm where he now resides. The farm was then nearly all
a wilderness, only about five acres being chopped but not cleared. On this
clearing or "slashed" lots he built a log house and commenced improvements.
He now has a finely cultivated farm of 70 acres, well furnished with farm
buildings, etc. His father, mother, and three sisters made their
home with him, and the mother is still living, aged eighty-four years.
He is the father of three children, the only son residing at home with
him. One daughter lives in Troy, and the other in Lowell. From a
capital of fifty cents, Mr. Trumpass has thus accumulated a competence
and now has an excellent farm and a good home in his old age.
Oscar P. Wright, son of Philander Wright, an early settler in Newport,
was born in that town February 15, 1846, and, in 1872, came to this town
as a teacher in the public schools. In the following autumn he permanently
located where he now resides, on road 5, cor 3. Since then he has taught
school in Newport, Coventry and Jay.
David Johnson, from Ludlow, Vt., located in Jay, on road 18, in
1831. He reared a family of seven children, five of whom are now living,
and all have followed school teaching to some extent. The youngest, Isaac
D., resides in this town on road 13.
The war of 1812 proved a severe check on the growth and prosperity
of the town. Though the people were never molested by the enemy,
the effects of the war upon the community were disastrous. Settlers no
longer came in at the rate they formerly did. Property depreciated
in value and a great stagnation seemed to settle upon the general business
and prosperity, and many of the inhabitants left for other localities.
After the battle of Plattsburgh, in 1814, many who had left gradually returned
to their farms, though quite a number never came back. In September, 1814,
a military company was organized, the first in the town. Maj. Cornell,
of Derby, assisted by Capt. Samuel Hovey, of Troy, presided over the organization.
Thomas Stoughton was elected captain, Jairus Stebbins, ensign, and Thomas
Hitchcock, orderly sergeant. Every able-bodied man in town joined the company,
but the number was so small that but two commissioned officers were appointed.
This organization, together with a company of government soldiers stationed
at North Bay about this time, tended greatly to reassure the people and
quiet their alarm.
When the great rebellion came upon us, Westfield was not found wanting
in patriotism and public spirit. Volunteering was encouraged and liberal
bounties were raised to reward those who were willing to offer themselves
on the altar of liberty. Forty-three of Westfield's sons went to
the front and eleven of them are now resting under the green turf they
died to save, All honor to their memory and peace to their ashes.
The Congregational church, located at Westfield village, was organized
by Rev. Levi Parson, with twelve members, April 19, 1818, the first regular
pastor being Rev. Reuben Mason. The first house of worship was built in
1828, and was superseded by the present structure in 1848, a wood building
capable of 200 persons, and valued, including other property, at $1,500.00.
The society now has fifty-five members, with Rev. Rufus King, pastor.
The Methodist Episcopal church of Westfield, located at Westfield
village, was organized February 22, 1831. The church building was erected
in 1869, a wood structure capable of accommodating 250 persons. It Cost
$2,000.00, about its present value. The society has about thirty-three
members, with Rev. George Goodell, pastor.

3 tips to protect your Android smartphone
security and confidentiality are part of the subjects preferred among Internet users and mobile users. There is nothing surprising in this because there have been recently many hacks causing data loss. With that in mind, so we wanted to show you 3 simple things you can do to make your Android device more secure.
1. Encrypt your smartphone Android
the encryption is a process which code your private data on the device, so that nobody can read them without permission. Once your encrypted Android smartphone, new data will be encrypted automatically. Decryption can also be done automatically.
There are a wide variety of encryption/decryption methods, but the security key is not an algorithm owner. The most important thing is to keep the encryption key (password) for yourself, so only people you trust will be. Without this, it will be very complicated for someone else, other than you to break this key.
Full encryption of the disk on Android (5.0 and higher)
according to Google, "full disk encryption uses a key – protected by the password of the user on the device – to protect the data of the smartphone. After a reboot, the user must provide their credentials to access these data". This, but when you reboot your phone, you can access your data when you provide your credentials. Which means that notifications of alarms and calls for example are blocked.
Full encryption of the disk on Android (7.0 and higher)
for those who already have Nougat, the Android based files encryption "allows different files to be encrypted with different keys that can be unlocked independently." With the Direct Boot Function function, the devices can "restart directly on the unlock screen, allowing quick access to important functions of the unit as the accessibility menu and services of alarms".
2. use a secure messaging application
Secure Messaging Scorecard by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is a good resource to control all complex processes to ensure messaging secure or not. There are many elements to consider, and if you're not a security expert, may you have omitted them.
Their socre allows to evaluate the messaging applications based on the following criteria:
- the encryption is complete?
- messaging is encrypted to avoid that the provider has no access?
- is possible to verify the identity of the contacts?
- past conversations are safe if your keys are stolen?
- the code is open to independent analysis?
- the encryption is it well documented?
- the application has t – she suffered a security by an independent audit?
there are many applications that meet all these criteria. Unfortunately, since the security and ease of use are often at odds, some applications that meet these criteria of security are not user-friendly or most popular.
, whether at the level of security or ease of use, I recommend to all Android users to Signal for the confidentiality of their messages.
3. Enable the audit in two steps for each service
the two-step verification requires two steps to authenticate. This method allows to protect the safety of many of your accounts. Many social networks offer this option to avoid a possible hacking your online identity. This is the case including from Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn for example. The main sites of payment like PayPal but also like Dropbox cloud services offer this option. And, very important, you must also enable it on your Google account.
In conclusion, remember that you can also improve your life private/privacy by adjusting the way you use your phone and disabling unknown sources, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS… If you no longer use an app, game or other content, remember to uninstall it. Check well the content that you receive in your Android mobile, even if it comes from Google Play. In this regard, a new virus occurred under Android.
Interested in what other security issues? Have you tried one of the methods mentioned above?

Watching paint dry never looked so cool. LES artist extroidinare KR who is the head honcho behind KRINK, took an afternoon and a paint bottle of the saucy stuff to make one super duper Mini Cooper. It really can't be as easy as it looks in the video, but if it is then kudos to the artist for garnering the hype.

KRINK x Mini CooperOctober 28, 2009
Artist extroidare KR of KRINK fame has taken his well documented drip aesthetic and applied it all over a Mini Cooper. While this sort of looks like the morning after a bukake, it's still pretty cool, though I don't think it would be safe to drive this little puppy on the autobahn where it will release in Germany tomorrow, it's a 1 of 1 so you don't have to worry about it.
