Haakon the Good
Name: Haakon Adalsteinsfostre or Haakon Haraldsson
Reign: 933–961 (approximate)
Born: approx. 918 at Håkonshella
Died: 961 at the Battle of Fitjar
Parents: Harald Fairhair and Thora Mosterstong
Children: Thora Haakonsdatter
Haakon Adalsteinsfostre was the first king who attempted to introduce Christianity into Norway, but his efforts met great resistance. The churches he built were burned, and his priests were killed.
He became known as Haakon the Good because he was the first King of Norway to defend the interests of farmers. Working closely with them, he established the leidang, a conscription-based coastal defence militia, and a network of beacons whereby forces could quickly be summoned upon an enemy attack.
Haakon is also known for reorganising the two major councils of farmer chieftains: Gulating in Western Norway, and Frostating in Trøndelag farther north.
Haakon the Good was mortally wounded in the Battle of Fitjar in 961. He died at Hella where he was born, and is buried at Seim in northern Hordaland.
Olav Tryggvason
Name: Olav Tryggvason
Reign: 995–1000
Born: approx. 968
Died: 1000 at the Battle of Svolder
Parents: Tryggve Olavsson and Astrid Eiriksdatter
Children: Tryggve Olavsson the Younger, died in childhood
«Olav now sailed east on the sea and reached the coast by Moster. There he first came to land in Norway and had mass sung there in a land tent; in that same spot a church was afterwards built.» (Snorri in Olav Tryggvason's Saga)
According to the historian Snorri Sturluson, Olav Tryggvason reached Moster when he sailed for home in order to claim the throne and convert his people to the new faith.
Olav grew up in what is now Russia. He was quite young when he first sailed as a Viking, taking part in many battles in the Baltic, in England and Scotland, and in Ireland. On his travels he came into contact with Christianity, and in 995 he was baptised in England.
King Olav made conversion of Norway to Christianity the prime focus of his rule, although this was not completed during his reign. Olav soon became known as a harsh and brutal ruler, and many who refused to convert he put to the sword.
Olav Tryggvason fell in the Battle of Svolder in the year 1000.
Olav Haraldsson
Name: Olav Haraldsson
Reign: 1015–1028
Born: 995 at Ringerike
Died: 1030 at the Battle of Stiklestad
Parents: Harald Grenske and Åsta Gulbrandsdatter
Children: Wulfhild, Duchess of Saxony (1020–1071), and Magnus Olavsson (1024–1047)
Olav's father died before he was born; he grew up with his stepfather Sigurd Syr in Ringerike in eastern Norway. Only 12 years old, he joined his first Viking expedition. He was baptised in Rouen, Normandy, in 1013, and returned to Norway in 1015 and declared himself king.
In the Battle of Nesjar in 1016, Olav defeated three of his strongest enemies: Earl Sweyn, Einar Tambarskjelve and Erling Skjalgsson. The realm he ruled now stretched from the river Göta to the south to Finnmark in the far north, and from Sweden in the east to the western islands of Orkney, Shetland and the Hebrides.
He is credited with organising the Norwegian church, and introducing Christian canon law at the council of Mostertinget in 1024.
His brutality against his opponents sparked much animosity, and as a result he was driven into exile. Cnut the Great, King of Denmark, England and Norway, then entrusted rule in the far north to Earl Haakon Eiriksson. But after Earl Haakon drowned in a shipwreck, King Olav returned to Norway. Soon he faced an army of rival chieftains and wealthy farmers, and according to the Sagas he died on 29 July 1030 at the Battle of Stiklestad. He was buried secretly by the Nidelva river. A year later, his grave was opened, and his body was still incorrupt. His coffin was moved to St. Clement's Church in Nidaros, where he was venerated as Saint Olav.

The attacks on Mumbai, India, stunned and outraged the world last week. It's being called India's 9/11. That may be an accurate name for the shock and anger that people felt as bleeding bodies, fires and chaos pervaded their largest metropolis.
But, luckily for the world, India's government is not dominated by ultra-right neocons as the United States was in 2001. And, neither is the U.S. today. The bodies and wreckage of Mumbai could also mark the death of Bush's disastrous 'war on terror.'
Barack Obama's election signals a changed U.S. foreign policy – one that relies more on robust diplomacy and not on tanks and drones. The Mumbai attacks challenge the new administration to move ahead on a new policy for peace and stability. In order to do that, he and the American people will need to take a good look at all the moving parts – past and present – that have led to Mumbai.
Using the claim of getting rid of terrorists, the U.S. and NATO invaded Afghanistan and the U.S. invaded Iraq. Lately, the U.S. military has crossed into Pakistani territory as well. These military adventures have killed thousands of civilians and destroyed homes and communities, angering the local populations, and pushing many in the region into the arms of extremist groups. These groups exploit popular anger over anti-Muslim pogroms in India and tensions over the disputed Kashmir region. The U.S. occupation of Iraq and the ongoing occupation of Palestinian lands by Israel also add fuel to the combustible mix of grievances.
Perhaps most of all, the economy of much of the region stands in ruins with millions mired in deep poverty, barely scratching out a living. Clearly, there has to be a new approach that emphasizes political solutions and diplomacy to isolate these fanatical groups and assist the people in rebuilding their lives and countries.
The democratic and progressive forces in both India and Pakistan are saying that terrorist extremists are not in either country's interest. They agree that efforts to develop peaceful relations between between the two countries have to continue, along with cooperation in the investigation of the attacks. India's Left parties have called for a full investigation and if evidence shows Pakistani involvement, they say, India should take it to the United Nations Security Council for action.
As the investigation continues and facts come out as to who funded and planned the Mumbai attack, the role of our government in promoting and financing extremist groups and propping up dictators in the region has to be remembered. This history – along with current U.S. military actions – fuels a deep-seated distrust of the U.S. that the incoming Obama administration will have to overcome to have any success.
The U.S. with the help of Pakistan aided and abetted the formation of extremist groups from the late 1970s into the 1980s and '90s to fight the Soviet Union, which in 1979 sent its military to try to prop up neighboring Afghanistan's beseiged left-oriented secular government. Although India and Pakistan are both called U.S. allies in Bush's "war on terror," the U.S. long supported Pakistan against non-aligned India, and utilized the Sino-Soviet split to try to get China to ally with Pakistan. Billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars have propped up Pakistan's army and its intelligence agency, ISI, which is believed to have ties to some of the extremist groups.
As a result of the U.S. actions, Afghanistan has been at war for almost 30 years and there is no Soviet Union to play a countervailing role. The descendants of the nasty groups the U.S. launched during the Cold War continue, funded by drug- and gun-running, networks of right-wing religious extremists, and directly or indirectly, by various intelligence agencies on behalf of reactionary forces whose interests are served by such groups. Pakistan has suffered under a series of dictatorships. Now it is torn by four centers vying for power: the democratically-elected government headed by President Asif Ali Zadari, the army, ISI and the religious extremists. Some analysts say the Mumbai attack was intended to provoke India-Pakistan border tensions, so that Pakistan would pull troops out of its northwest frontier, easing pressure on the extremists based there.
But it seems the Pakistani government does not want a nuclear-tension-filled standoff with India. India's government, led by the Congress Party, also seems inclined to avoid inciting such tension. However, the Indian government has been open to joining with the Bush administration in a "strategic alliance" many see as targeting China and Russia. The recently signed U.S.-India nuclear agreement has many worried about its potentially destabilizing impact on this already tension-ridden area.
If the last 30 years of history in the region shows anything, it is that U.S. policies designed to encircle, provoke and isolate China and Russia through proxies, be it Afghanistan, Kashmir, Pakistan or India, have been disastrous and must be abandoned. The terrorism, violence, poverty and degradation spawned by these policies can only be eliminated through international cooperation, equality of relations, multilateral agreements and a reduction in military and corporate power. Long live a different approach.

Creator: Tom Mullica & Heinz Minton
Publisher: Tom Mullica & Heinz Minton
Skill Level: ALL
DVD Run time: 5 minutes
Type of effect: Card to wallet
Manufacturer's Write Up:
A Spectator selects a card and the magician takes a wallet from either his pocket, or which has been lying on the table all time. Stating that the selected card will be found in this wallet the magician opens it. Inside he does not find the card but finds a smaller wallet. After opening this smaller wallet the selected card is found inside.
The wallet is made of a fine quality soft leather and special designed for this effect. Comes with written instructions and performance and instructions on DVD by Tom Mullica himself.
What's in the box?
You get the leather wallet (obviously and yes, it's real leather). You get written instructions and a playable DVD
Key points:
With this trick - no palming is necessary. No Forcing. And yes - the card can be signed - no extra cards! And best of all, when the performer returns the wallet to his pocket, it is ready to do again!
My thoughts:
This item is very well made and very professional looking. The Mullica wallet would make a great addition to anybody who performs table hopping, walk-around or restaurant magic.
Is it well made: YES!
Is it well taught: It's good - you only get the basics, there are not any alternate handlings or extras on the DVD at all.
How are the production values: 'Eh, kind of lackluster, it's a single shot in Tom's Las Vegas home, I think at one time his dog walks on camera.
Overall score: 10/10

See Mommy Run!
Okay so it's not about any trendy styles, but mom's need good mental health and healthy bodies or we can't shop for those fantastic outfit! I stumbled upon this website www.seemommyrun.com and support strong and healthy moms, and I think it is so important to teach your kids a healthy lifestyle--so check it out. Any mom can tell you about the changes kids bring to your life, physically (yes you can get that pre-baby body back, its just HARD work), mentally and emotionally. As I read about Andrea Vincent's story, moving to a new place, feeling isolated and finding it difficult to meet new people, and how she started www.seemommyrun.com. I was intrigued. She searched for existing running groups online and came up empty handed. After the birth of her daughter in August 2004, she officially launcher the site. She figured that if she could meet five moms in her area who enjoyed running, she would be happy. Within 7 months, 750 women had signed up. Since then, Vincent has established groups in nine other states with a total of over 2,000 members. So come on girls, find a running group in your neighborhood and hit the road!

Sheen Kidz--Charlie Sheen Kids Clothing Designer?
I happened to see in People Magazine that Charlie Sheen (yes, the actor) will be launching a line of kids clothes this Spring... called Sheen Kidz. A little disappointed in the name, sounds a bit cheap, couldn't he have been a bit more creative? Supposed to be for sizes infant up through 6x. He says his inspiration comes from his two girls. You never know, maybe it will be a hit.

Dodge Dart 1964 Description
Original 1964 Dodge Dart GT 273 V8 4-speed manual shift coupe
in mostly all original condition.HELLO all MOPAR FANS--Please read entire listing and see photos before calling or emailing me---thanks. Every now and then a car like this comes along. If you are into original super clean hi-po muscle cars (like me) you will appreciate this car.
This is a factory 1964 GT V8 4-speed Dart. I have all documentation FROM NEW including original sales invoice and original window sticker. Have every single item listed that was performed from new--day one, in a 3 ring binder that original owner made & kept religiously. All original brochures, owners manuals, & service manuals. The info is immense. All work, mileage, & costs were documented in this manual.
Car is sporting it's all original maroon/black paint, and as you can see it is very faded and oxidized with some thin spots & primer showing through. I did not add any chemicals or dressing to this paint as I wanted all prospective buyers to see the honesty of this mostly all original car. Hood is flat black due to heavy item falling on it in garage many years ago. Was never painted and is still in it's original black primer. This is an old stock OEM Chrysler replacement, and NOT a new Chinese reproduction. There are NO reproduction parts on this car.
All of the orig. factory stainless GT Dart trim & emblems are present and accounted for, and are included (couldn't show in photos but they are original and they are nice). All chrome/bumpers etc. are like new w/no pitting. See minor various dings in sheet metal. One tiny rust spot at left rear over wheel well, otherwise this car is AZ rust free. Like I said--I wanted next owner to see the incredible 'honesty' of this car.
Starts easy and really runs very well. Strong running V8 with 4-bbl set up. Sounds great w/dual Flowmaster exhaust; runs even better. No issues other than some play in the steering box (a new steering box is included). Has Edelbrock 4-bbl carb & intake. Highway gearing (3.00 ish?) so car will cruise at 80mph all day long on freeway. Runs cool.

Humbug Scrub Roundabout
Construction completed
Construction of the new roundabout at the intersection of One Tree Hill Road and Kersbrook Road at Humbug Scrub, is now complete.
Photos - Humbug Scrub Roundabout
About the Project
The Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) has improved road safety by installing a roundabout at the intersection of One Tree Hill Road and Kersbrook Road at Humbug Scrub.
This $3.8 million upgrade obtained through MAC Adelaide Hills Priority Program was a safety driven project, with the intention of addressing the number of serious and minor injury crashes at the location, involving right angle and rear end crashes.
Improvements to the location include:
- Installation of a roundabout to reduce vehicle speed.
- New road lighting.
- Advance signage on all approaches to the roundabout.
- Speed limits reduced to 80 km/h on all approaches to the roundabout.
The project was completed in October 2016.

This is a versatile recipe. It can be used for bread and pizza crust.
First day
Make a levain preferment:
25 – 35 gr starter
100 gr Heritage White or Sifted Flour
75 – 100 gr water, non-chlorinated, 70 – 85 degrees F
Mix thoroughly by hand so that all the flour and water are combined with the starter.
Leave on kitchen counter overnight or for about 12 hours in cool weather. In very warm weather it may take only 4 or 5 hours to become active enough to make bread dough.
Second Day
To the 200 gr of levain add:
450 – 500 gr water, non-chlorinated, 70- 85F (depends on how stiff the levain is and how hydrated you want your final dough)
800 gr Heritage White or Sifted Flour
1 tbsp sea salt (scattered onto the flour). We like Real brand salt for the mineral content)
Mix thoroughly – this can be done with a stand mixer but I prefer to do it by hand. This can be a bit messy. Wetting your hands a couple of times while mixing helps. This mixing requires squeezing and turning the dough so that everything mixes well.
Let rest for 45 minutes
Scrape the dough out on a clean surface. Wet your hands and stretch and fold 5-10 times letting it rest a few minutes between stretches. You should feel the dough developing strength. See the video on kneading. (YouTube-"French Kneading with La Cocina de Babette" )
Divide into two equal portions. Round each portion into balls and drag each on a dry surface to create surface tension. (You Tube – "Bread Dough: Shaping a Boule", by Weekend Bakery)
Now it's time to decide when to bake
Same Day Bread Pan Method
Place divided dough in a pan greased with melted butter and coconut oil (use the two together. Using only one will cause sticking).Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in volume. Time may vary from 30-40 minutes to several hours depending on room temperature and strength of the starter. Score the top and bake in a preheated (at least one hour) oven at 450 F for about 35 minutes until the inside temperature is 200-210F.
2-3 Day Day Method
Bread Pan
Divide and place dough in greased pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1-2 nights, or more if desired. The dough will rise a little in the refrigerator and build flavor from the slower fermentation. Remove the dough 1-2 hours before baking. Let stand covered in a warm place. Score the top and place in preheated (at least one hour) 450F oven. Bake for 35 minutes until the inside temperature is 200 -210F. If the crust is becoming too dark, make a tent cover out of foil and place over the pan for a portion of, or for the entire baking time to get the desired crust color and texture.
Banneton Method
Place dough in a well floured banneton, seam side up. Let rise for 1-2 hours until you see a visible increase in size but before it doubles in size. Cover with a plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight, or for 12 – 24 hours.
Preheat oven and Dutch oven at 450F for one hour.
Flour a peel or an inverted small baking sheet. Place the banneton on the peel/pan upside down so the dough falls onto it. Score the top of the loaf. Remove the cover from the Dutch oven and carefully slide the dough into it. Cover and bake for 35 minutes until the inside temperature is 200-210 F.

If you have plants in Colorado, the weather forecast for May 11 probably has you saying "Here we go again." There's a reason "Mother's Day blizzard" is a cliché along the Front Range
This storm may hold two main dangers for plants: Heavy, wet snow that could weigh down and break tree or shrub branches; and an overnight freeze Sunday night into Monday morning that could kill or damage plants.
We asked Grow contributor Carol O'Meara and longtime Denver Master Rosarian Joan Franson to give us their best horticultural advice. Here's what you need to know, whether we get snow or faux.
The bad: These are your most valuable and expensive-to-replace landscape features, and can be the most vulnerable to out-of-season heavy snows. If a tree is fully leafed out, have your broom ready and watch the incoming snow. Do what you can to gently broom it off before it begins to weigh down branches. Don't forget to do this with evergreens and shrubs, including fruit-bearing shrubs, shaking gently from the ground up. You can also cover small shrubs; try an inverted tomato cage and a blanket to create a small tepee, O'Meara suggested.
The sad: Fruit trees may suffer a diminished harvest. If the cold nips the first set of leaves, these trees can push out a second set, but that means you'll need to pamper them this summer, O'Meara said.
The good: If the tree has only begun to leaf out, and/or you've kept it well-pruned and healthy, with regular winter watering and watching out for pests, you can stay indoors and be a little smug.
The good: It's moisture! Seriously, there is almost zero downside for cool-season grasses. Get fertilizer down, then let the snow water it for you.
The bad: Weeds (see EVILS below.)
The good: Pansies and most other cool-season annuals will be fine. So will tulips, especially those that haven't bloomed yet. A thick blanket of snow, if it arrives, will help insulate the roots of established woody plants from freezing temperatures.
The bad: The freeze that may follow the storm "could be desperately damaging" to roses with new, moist, tender leaves and stems, rose expert Franson said. Cover that precious basal growth with dried leaves, trimmed evergreen boughs, or old burlap bags — "cloth, not plastic," she advised. And depending on what kind of snow arrives, other flowers or buds could get physically beaten up. Cover these, too; and secure covers against wind. Cut that Mother's Day bouquet before the storm.
The bad: If you planted warm-season veggies too soon (basil, eggplant, tomatoes, cukes, squash), this is likely a kiss goodbye unless you're really good at cheating the cold.
The good: Cool-season vegetables can pull through a freeze if covered. Again, cloth or row cover, not plastic, should touch the plants, but you can add a plastic cover over the cloth. Some garden centers sell frost blankets with row-cover material on one side, waterproofed material on the top. Perennial herbs should shrug at this storm, but you might want to harvest a first crop of thyme now.
The bad: The weeds you put off pulling are going to love this snow. Mallow, bindweed, miner's lettuce, cheat grass, thistles — their tenacious roots will suck this moisture right up. Some dandelions have already gone to seed; snow is a gift to them.
The good: Soaked-in moisture makes weeds easier to hand-pull.

My guess this offer was from Interscope, who has P. Diddy on their label, and he recently flew out The Weeknd and XO to chill in Miami for a few days. Check out the photos here.
No one can confirm if this is true or not. some people believe it was a strategic ploy to make other labels offer up even more to sign The Weeknd to their label. In the above tweet, Abel's tour manager "Cash Up" tweeted "I'm talking millions..." Also, Louis 'Gibzen' Hurndall a music producer who seemed to hear the number was 7 Millon.
My guess this offer was from Interscope, who has P. Diddy on their label, and he recently flew out The Weeknd and XO to chill in Miami for a few days. Check out the photos here.
How do I start this post. This piece of work is one I will be playing for the rest of my life, up until the day I die, it a masterpiece to say the least.
Without The Weeknd this album would not exist. The Weeknd is credited on 5 songs; Shot For Me, Crew Love, Good Ones Go, Practice, and The Ride. But he did way more then just that. Even the XO gang helped out with the album, they shot the cover for the album and multiple music videos; Marvins Room, Headlines, and The Motto.
We didn't know how much The Weeknd influenced Drake with this album until we got the album notes and read the thanks that he gave to the whole XO gang. Below you can see the whole booklet and photos of The Weeknd working on Take Care!
"To Abel, meeting you changed my life and whether you realize it or not you are responsible for how hard I went to make this album one to remember. You are a gifted soul and you have given the world something extremely special. I am looking forward to the future with you and I am honored to call you a brother… Thank you to Hyghly, Lamar, and Drop for making my whole shit iconic as fuck. To the whole XO gang you awlready know we are a family…OVOXO."
November 6th, 2011, Drake takes over Toronto's number one Rap and R&B station, Flow 93.5 for two hours. During those hours he calls Lil' Wayne and The Weeknd.
To end off the night, Drake releases a song off his upcoming album Take Care, Crew Love (Ft. The Weeknd). Sadly, immediately after he gets off the air, his album leaks to the world wide web.
Below you can listen to Drake's phone call to The Weeknd via YouTube, or even download. Check out our previous post for more on the trip to Costa Rica they mention during the phone call!
The Weeknd just returend from a trip to Costa Rica and for some resaon he is keeping it a secret what happened there.
All we got is this short video were he refuses to be seen on camera, and some photos but sadly most of them are just of the XO gang!
Check out next post where Drake calls Abel and tries to ask him about his trip!

The Coaches
We're a pretty diverse group. The bulk of our coaches have been running CF classes for over six years. Some of us for 10 years plus! Many of us come from law enforcement and military backgrounds. And we're all very passionate about what we do both here, and at our sister gym, CrossFit Adaptation. Read more about our staff here.
What We Do
We offer anywhere from 7-8 group classes per day. In addition to our CrossFit group and Elements classes we offer both an Olympic Lifting and Gymnastics workshop, regular yoga classes, personal training, and lots of social events! We even have a Barbell Club. More than any other CrossFit affiliate in our area offers. If they're cheaper, then it's for a reason (so be wary!). By the way, you can also work out at our sister gym, CrossFit Adaptation, under the same membership. All of our memberships are month to month, with no contracts.
Our Community
A diverse group. We're students, 20 to 60 somethings, parents, and retirees. We've got elite level athletes and just average folks that want to lead a fit and healthy lifestyle. Some of us haven't worked out in years before starting CrossFit and had a zero baseline for fitness. Some of us are competitive CrossFitters entering all sorts of individual and team events. It doesn't matter — we're a perfect fit for all!

The two are diametrically opposed, and given what the former says when going "off message", we know the latter is just BS. Therefore, both are BS.
The two are diametrically opposed, and given what the former says when going "off message", we know the latter is just BS. Therefore, both are BS.
Thank you, Arnold, for this concise and direct message.
Can we use just the native .NET classes for developing code, rather than immediately writing an application specific class that often is little more than a container? Can we do this using aliases, a fluent style, and extension methods? If we're going to just use .NET classes, we're going to end up using generic dictionaries, tuples, and lists, which gets unwieldy very quickly. We can alias these types with
using statements, but this means copying these using statements into every .cs file where we want to use the alias. A fluent ("dot-style") notation reduces code lines by representing code in a "workflow-style" notation. In C#, if we don't write classes with member methods, then we have to implement behaviors as extensions methods. Using aliases improves semantic readability at one level at the cost of confusing generic type nesting in the alias definition. Extension methods can be taken too far, resulting in two rules: write lower level functions for semantic expressiveness, and avoid nested parens that require the programmer to maintain a mental "stack" of the workflow. In contrast to C#'s
using aliases, F# type definitions are not aliases, they are concrete types. New type definitions can be created from existing types. Type definitions can also be used to specify a function's parameters and return value. The forward pipe operator
|> is similar to the fluent "dot" notation in C#, but the value on the left of the
|> operator "populates" the last parameter in the function's parameter list. When functions are written that return something, the last function must be piped to the ignore function, which is
slightly awkward. F# type dependencies are based on the order of the files in the project, so a type must be defined before you use it. In C#, creating more complex aliases get messy real fast — this is an experiment, not a recommendation for coding practices! In F#, we don't need an Action or Func class for passing functions because F# inherently supports type definitions that declare a function's parameters and return value — in other words, everything in functional programming is actually a function. Tuples are a class in C# but native to functional programming, though C# 6.0 makes using tuples very similar to F#. While C# allows function parameters to be null, in F#, you have to pass in an actual function, even if the function does nothing. F# uses a nominal ("by name") as opposed to structural inference engine, Giving types semantically meaningful names is very important so that the type inference engine can infer the correct type. In C#, changing the members of class doesn't affect the class type. Not so with F# (at least with vanilla records) — changing the structure of a record changes the record's type. Changing the members of a C# class can, among other things, lead to incorrect initialization and usage. Inheritance, particularly in conjunction with mutable fields, can result in behaviors with implicit understanding like "this will never happen" to suddenly break. Extension methods and overloading creates semantic ambiguity. Overloading is actually not supported in F# – functions must have semantically different names, not just different types or parameters lists. Object oriented programming and functional programming both have their pros and cons, with some hopefully concrete discussion presented here.

When making estate planning preparations, one of the best ways for Tennessee residents to approach the issue is to place oneself in the shoes of the loved ones who will be tasked with ironing out the details of the estate when the time comes. By looking at matters from that perspective, the need to have a clear and thorough estate plan becomes obvious. One of the most important aspects of estate planning is to create and regularly update a comprehensive list of personal property and assets. After all, it is impossible to dictate the division of assets if it those items of value are not clearly specified.
Most people have no trouble outlining their most valuable assets, such as their home, investment accounts and insurance policies. However, there are many other types of assets that should also be considered. This includes things like old pensions from previous jobs, bonds that have been filed away in a cabinet for many years and even college savings plans. Most people also amass a number of items of personal property that they wish to pass down to loved ones, and those items should also be listed.
Many people choose to create a master list of all of their assets, along with information regarding where the asset can be located and any related paperwork, account numbers, passwords and so on. Having a comprehensive list does more than just provide heirs with a road map for locating assets. It also provides peace of mind that there is nothing being overlooked or left out of the process.
Just as important as compiling this list is taking the time to regularly update the information contained in the document. Over time, new assets and items of personal property are acquired, while others are sold or lost. Tennessee residents should review this part of their estate plan annually, to make sure that the list is accurate and up to date. When the time comes for loved ones to handle the distribution of assets, they will most certainly appreciate the time and effort put toward making that process as easy as possible.

1. I love the rustic, back-woods look for my home, especially in my kitchen
2. I am not a good housekeeper – important to know since I am showing pictures of my kitchen!
3. I have a dining room area next to the kitchen and this is where we eat—or used to!
The Furnishings
1. an "island" that Rick and I made from an old waterbed and some 4×4 posts for the legs
2. a storage unit made from some roughcut pine and an old window
3. a garbage container, again made from roughcut pine
4. a couple antique stools for accessing all the shelves that beyond my reach
Here is my window storage.Most people would cringe to have it in their outdoor shed, hidden from view, but I love it!
The Before
In the project photo you see how my kitchen has looked for some time (except that where the wooden garbage container sits was located my window storage unit.
The Middle
One morning last week, I woke up thinking "turn the island table 90 degrees". Out of the blue came the thought. How strange but, I've learned to trust that little voice that typically speaks great wisdom. :D
The After
And so I moved the window storage shelf and rotated the island.
Oh my, oh my …. so much MORE room and cooking/baking was so much more convenient. Who knew!! Oh, right.. that little voice knew.
There was so much room actually, that I thought I could add a flip-up shelf on the edge of the island allowing us to eat in the kitchen. Brilliant!!
So I went to the Lee Valley site to find appropriate hinges.
These are what I decided on.
(photo from the Lee Valley website)
When they arrived in the mail, I have to admit that we were a little confused as how to make them work. The main issue was, to be honest, that we couldn't get them to spring open. A quick email to Lee Valley and the next day we had our answer—be careful, they are springloaded like a mousetrap .. a very STRONG mousetrap. So with a little grunting we had them open and with the help of the instruction sheet Lee Valley emailed us, Rick added my shelf.
A pull upwards and we have our eating area or extended workspace and by pushing the hinges inwards they unlock and the shelf lowers, out of the way.
There is STILL so much room, even with it up, that I am pretty sure we will never put the shelf down again. Underneath it sits our two stools – finally having a place to sit when not in use. Yah!!
MsDebbieP is a very happy camper!! :)

Looks like a great addition to your eating area. My daughter wants me to make an Island for their kitchen.
Is the shelf locked in place until you need/want to lower it.

oh and these hinges, if the table allows, will flip completely underneath and secure with a little latch (as shown on the website).
For me, they just drop down at 90 degrees.

Hi Ms. Debbie;
You don't seem to be the type of person to spend half her life cleaning something that doesn't need cleaning. And your kitchen looks to be plenty clean! Not to mention the 28 million other things you're already doing!
That is a nice idea, and it sure does open things up. Those look like impressive hinges.
Nice job.

"Duckaholics Anonymous" Viewing Party Wednesday, September 4
Don't ask us why or how, but A&E's Duck Dynasty is officially the hottest thing to hit reality T.V. pretty much ever. And with 11.8 million viewers turning in for the season premiere last month, we're guessing there are at least a few fans floating around the Valley who might want to head to the Shout House in Glendale every Wednesday to watch the show at 7 p.m. with a whole gaggle of friends. The dueling piano bar will be serving up Southern eats including fried chicken and waffles and shrimp and grits as well as $3 Sweet Tea cocktails and $1 well drinks. There will be Duck Dynasty bingo (with free drinks as prizes) and a best beard contest for which one lucky man will take home an outdoorsmen's package valued at $250.
Rosh Hashanah Holiday Dinner at Chompie's Wednesday, September 4
Rosh Hashanah, the celebration of the Jewish New Year, begins this Wednesday and Chompie's New York Deli will be serving up a traditional holiday feast in honor of the occasion. The deli's Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and Chandler locations will offer a full menu of chopped liver, gefelte fish, chicken soup with Matzo ball, beef barley with mushroom, roasted chicken or salmon filet and Latkes.

Guest Chef Dinner with Gregory Casale at Posh Friday, September 6
If you've been around the Valley dining scene for a while, you might recognize the name Gregory Casale, although these days the chef is heading things up for Peter Piper Pizza. It's not as glamorous a gig as when he operated his own Gregory's Grill and then at Gregory's World Bistro. In the early 2000s Casale was making a name for himself as a pioneer and avant garde chef - before life took him a route that landed him on the corporate side of things, first at Paradise Bakery and later with the pizza buffet. This Friday he'll be tapping back into his creative side with a six-course dinner at Posh. The menu includes Tomato Sorbet with Dashi, Bonito Flakes, Watercress & Miso and Mushrooms "On a Stick" with Fog, Herbs & Foam - in the restaurant's words, "this could be one of the most epic guest chef dinners of all time." A seat will cost you $60 a person with wine pairings available for either $30 or $80 for sommelier pairings. RSVP online or call 480.663.7674. The whole menu is available on the Posh website.

Time for a new hat? Shop displays in Narberth, Pembrokeshire
Month: February 2014
Vista 9: conifers

Tithe barn oculus, St Mary's Priory, Abergavenny
One of several round windows in the medieval tithe barn, now a visitor centre with exhibition space and a café
Portals 32: privies
Vista 8: a tale of two spires
The uniform brutalist offices in Bristol's historic city centre contrast with the soaring spire of the medieval St John's. Is this more crass than the view of the soaring spire of London's Shard viewed through the pinnacles of Southwark Cathedral? Or is the latter more aesthetically pleasing? Bad neighbours or good neighbours?
Nature 4: close up
Stone head 20: capitals
A pair of historiated or figured capitals, one in England, the other in Wales; one of a king, the other of an allegorical figure (perhaps Gluttony) biting a pillar; the English head is medieval (the nose smashed by Puritans is diagnostic) but the Welsh head may well be a piece of Victorian whimsy
Capitals (from Latin caput, 'head') were placed at the top of pillar, usually at a load point such as the springing of an arch; the Congresbury example seems to have no such function but serves to mark the entrance to the sanctuary of the church
Building 15: city hall

rampant, roaring, daring all

Bamboo and racing: It's an unlikely combination. But for Jackie Heinricher, those two words are her two passions. The first is how she makes her living. The second, she says, "is life."
Get to know this renaissance woman, who in 2019 is teaming up with Caterpillar and Meyer Shank Racing to bring the first all-female driver lineup to the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) WeatherTech Sports Car Championship.
When Heinricher was young, her father planted bamboo in his garden, and she fell in love with the fast-growing, highly sustainable plant. "Throughout my time in the military, college and early jobs, always in the back of my mind I knew I wanted to do something with bamboo."
Serving as a medic in the U.S. Air Force for four years only reinforced Heinricher's interest in pursuing a career in science. After the military, she received her master's degree in biology from Tennessee Tech University and spent a decade working in fishery science and management.
Then, in 1998, she returned to her roots — literally — launching a company called Booshoot Technology in her garage, where she worked to divide bamboo plants by hand. Over time, she grew Booshoot into a multimillion-dollar biotechnology firm. Today, as president and CEO, Heinricher leads a team that's developing unique, patent-pending technologies to shift how bamboo is grown and harvested worldwide. "We're working to create a sustainable product in the marketplace that can replace plastic."
While she caught the science bug early, Heinricher's love for racing didn't come till later. Now 57, she's in just her 12th year as a professional. "I took a racing school, and one thing led to another. For me, it's a physical challenge because I came at it late. It gives me those goals that are so important to have in life."
Despite her late start, Heinricher has packed plenty of action into her racing career, participating in Formula 3 races, the Ferrari Challenge Series, Lola F3 races, the Red Bull Global Rallycross Lites Series and the Lamborghini Super Trofeo of North America.
In 2019, she and her team — Katherine Legge of England, Simona de Silvestro of Switzerland, Ana Beatriz of Brazil and Christina Nielsen of Denmark — are competing in the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship on board the No. 57 MSR Acura NSX GT3 racecar, sponsored by Caterpillar. "We plan to go out and do battle. A team like ours has not existed before, but with the kind of support Caterpillar is offering us, we hope to grab a podium."
Some people may shake their heads at the thought of trying to combine a career in biotechnology with a career in racecar driving, but for Heinricher it makes perfect sense. "What has been such a delight to me is discovering that racing is all about engineering and science. And science is never a straight road — you're always learning something new."
Don't miss Heinricher and her team in the No. 57 car this season! The schedule kicks off on January 24 with the Rolex 24 at Daytona, with 11 races to follow between March and November.

Enjoy Japanese Food at Miso Good Ramen in Santa Rosa
These are extra delicious times in Sonoma County, as ramen is becoming more and more available on our Japanese restaurant menus. Several new ramen shops have opened in the past year, including the oh-so-good Miso Good Ramen in downtown Santa Rosa.
The family owned eatery specializes in – what else – ramen, carefully crafted in a half dozen recipes ranging from classic Tokyo shoyu with chasu pork, chicken, soy braised pork, a six minutes egg, pork broth and onion ($13), to soft shell crab paitan shoyu with seafood, chasu pork and tender greens bobbing in chicken and pork broth ($17).
In an unusual twist, the contemporary, sleek shop also sends out seafood ramen, stocked with shrimp and chicken in its chicken and pork shoyu broth, plus cabbage, bean sprouts and greens ($16).
One of the most interesting soups, meanwhile is the Miso Butter Veggie of fermented soy bean broth, okra, corn, sprouts, greens, and a dollops of butter ($13). Think silky, a touch sour, and brimming with that great umami that only butter can bring.
You can add extra goodies to any ramen bowl, too, such as shimeji mushrooms ($1.50), fried karaage chicken ($3), or corn ($1.50). However you go, you'll savor tasty comfort food with authentic Japanese style.
As a full service restaurant, the menu is extensive, also offering small plates like sunomono salad, the cucumber, seaweed and rice vinegar mix fancied up with shrimp and octopus ($8), gyoza stuffed with chicken and ground pork or edamame, cabbage, garlic and onion (get them fried or steamed, $7), and tempura shrimp drizzled in spicy creamy sauce ($10).
Sushi lovers will be happy with the rolls and nigiri, such as the signature Miso Good Roll, a magical monster stuffed with crab salad, spicy tuna and avocado, then topped in hamachi, salmon, tobiko, tempura flakes, unagi sauce and spicy mayo ($16). There are several vegetarian options, as well, including a Yama roll of avocado, green bean tempura, tempura flakes and spicy mayo ($7).
And if rice is your thing, the rice bowls and creative, crowned in nice bites like spicy garlic shrimp finished with butter, chile, soy sauce, lemon juice, kimchee and greens ($14).
For an even more upscale adventure, the carpaccio beckons. Hirame is just one elegant example, the thinly sliced halibut decorated with whisper thin shaved radish, shiso, Japanese 7 spices, lemon zest, olive oil and ponzu sauce ($14).
Keep in mind that, while prices are reasonable, the place is classy, trimmed in gray walls hung with raw wood shelves stacked with pretty pottery, ocean inspired art, succulents, and lots of bottles of sake and wine.

Kerala, third on Smart Travel Asia's 'best in travel' poll last year, has trumped Bali and Phuket this year. Rajasthan and Goa are the two other Indian destinations that figure on the top 10 list.
What's rather telling though, is that just one hotel from Kerala seems to have made it to the list of top hotels. The Taj Garden Retreat, Kumarakom is number 24 on Smart Travel Asia's list of 'top 25 leisure hotels and resorts'. Several other hotels from India including The Oberoi Udaivilas, Udaipur; Neemrana Fort; and The Aman, New Delhi figure on this list.
The only Indian entry on the 'top 25 spa hotel and resorts' list is the Ananda in the Himalayas. Indian entrants on the 'top business hotels in Asia' list include The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai; The Oberoi, New Delhi; and The Leela Palace Kempinski, Bangalore.
The Smart Travel Asia online poll ran for three months May-July this year and 60 per cent of the respondents were from Asia. The poll says that 91 per cent of the voters "drew their primary image of brands from the Internet and 85 per cent said they made travel decisions online." Yet only 38 per cent said they book online. The Net, according to the Smart Travel Asia poll, it seems is still a traveller's first port of call for information and independent reviews. All issues for tourism and travel mavens to chew on.
Meanwhile, though Kerala has reason to celebrate its recognition as a holiday destination, it's also time for some introspection on the hospitality front. So perhaps, we should not break out the bubbly just yet.Picture used courtesy Kerala Tourism

We got the pumpkins out and carved last night in preparation for Halloween night! It is going to be a cold one this year. Take a look at your detailed forecast below.
Halloween (Today) we will see partly cloudy skies through out the day. A chilly high of only 48* degrees. An even colder nightly low of only 27* degrees! Get the heavy coats out and dress warm if you're planning on heading out trick or treating this evening. Winds will be light around 10 and 15 mph. A few gusts to 20 mph are likely.
The cold is really trying to set in here in the midwest. How long will it last? Will it get even colder? I will try to have a post on this very soon. Until then, enjoy your night of fright! ;)
Here's some funny Halloween scares to help get you in the spirit!
Happy Halloween!

|This is Psychilis x raganii, sometimes shown as Psy. kraenzlinii Note the different coloring
These are the first flowers of Psychilis kraenzlinii I have been able to see in its native habitat. These flowers are from the north coast, near the town of Isabela in Puerto Rico. It is not easy to see these plants in the wild, the habitat they favor, near the coast, is also a favorite of humans, which means where there were strand of native vegetation there are now vacation homes near the beach. Also people will collect these plants from the wild, which means that if you are in a place where humans have easy access the probability of seeing these plants in the wild is essentially nil.
I had seen these plants previously in orchid shows but never in their natural haunts. Unfortunately these plants almost always die in captivity, due to the lack of knowledge of their cultural needs buy the people that collected them. Paradoxically, all the ones I have seen that survived in captivity where in the hands of people that just tied them to a tree and essentially ignored them.
There are exceptions to this rule as I have seen one or two large specimen plants in local exhibitions. However I have been unable to talk with the owners of the large plants, so perhaps they way they cultivated the plants was to give them careful neglect.
Psychilis kraenzlinii is sometimes confused with Psy. x raganii. The two orchids are similar, their main difference is their color and in technical details of the callus of the lip. Psy, raganii has a reddish color as you can see in the photo.

The snow is deep on the ground.
Always the light falls
Softly down on the hair of my belovèd.
This is a good world.
The war has failed.
God shall not forget us.
Who made the snow waits where love is.
Only a few go mad.
The sky moves in its whiteness
Like the withered hand of an old king.
God shall not forget us.
Who made the sky knows of our love.
The snow is beautiful on the ground.
And always the lights of heaven glow
Softly down on the hair of my belovèd.

This week, I was hoping to introduce to you, and the rest of the world, my new web series. Due to a rather bone-headed move on my part, however, that won't be possible for a while.
A couple of weeks ago, after a rather successful and overall fruitful test screening, I was about to sit down and iron out the few final kinks that the screeners picked up on, (if you're reading this guys, thanks again!) and get ready to send this pilot episode on to a web series network for approval. I opened up my computer, grabbed out my external hard drive where the video footage, assests, etc. were, hooked up the FireWire, but something was missing: my external's AC adaptor. Yes, it's one of those high-end, faster drives that requires its own power source.
I looked all over for it, gradually becoming frustrated. I wanted to get this pilot episode out NOW, dammit!
Resolving that I wasn't going to find it any time soon, (and this is when I should have just stopped for the night and tried again tomorrow) I started looking around for other adaptors that I might be able to use in its place. I checked my video game consoles' adaptors, the older ones themselves are mostly inter-changeable. The voltage looked like it might work, but none of the plugs fit into the back of the drive.
And then I found it: my first laptop computer's AC adaptor. It belonged to an old HP that still held residence beneath my desk. I probably should've thrown it out or donated it years ago. But that day, I saw salvation within it.
I knew full well what could happen with a mis-matched power supply: a fried hard drive with no easy way to recover the precious data locked inside. I've had to buy replacement adaptors before, and I've always done my homework to make sure that what I was getting would be compatible. I did the same research this time with this decades old plug that seemed and it looked as if this one would work fine. Cautiously, I plugged it in.
Eureka! The drive began to spin up and turn on! The Seagate logo began to light up, and all seemed well!
And then it abruptly cut off. There was no further response whatsoever. I tried unplugging and plugging it back in again. Still nothing. Regret began to well up as I realized I've done something wrong. Very wrong.
Minutes later, I found my hard drive's original AC adaptor, under the kitchen table of all places. I tried once more to hook it up; still nothing. All seemed lost… at least as far as this new show was concerned.
After having a few people look at it, it seems like it might not be completely dead. If not the drives themselves, the data looks recoverable for a much more affordable price than what I've seen this could cost. So, while I don't have the data back yet, I'm staying optimistic.
But if not money, this has certainly cost time. I've lost a good couple of weeks I could be using to work on this. If I would've calmed down, waited a few hours, and looked again, I could've used the original adaptor and I actually could've been telling you about episode 2 today.
The moral of this story is patience. It is a virtue in all things, and while technology goes faster every day, we need to slow down and weigh out a decision before we take the leap. Just a little time there, could mean saving a ton of time later on.

In Garthe's Hands #18: Quad Hands
Here they are, the final two hands that haven't been covered so far. I know you've been waiting with bated breath for a chance to learn how to use these very important hands. Sorry to disappoint. As with the hands in the last column, the reason these are being introduced so late is that the likelihood of ever seeing them is so very very low. It's not that they're very complicated, in fact, they're exceedingly simple. It's just that they involve kongs which are rare enough without requiring there to be more than one of them.
Three Quads: 2 Hand Points
So dipping back into the extremely rare category, we have 3 Quads. The name should say it all, it's just a hand with 3 declared quads, worth all of 2 hand points, concealed or open. This is another one I have yet to see, at tables behind me or anywhere else (I noted last week that the one time I ever "saw" Heavenly Win was on a table behind me). You'd think with its rarity it would be worth a little more. I guess maybe the thinking is it would be awarding too much for just dumb luck. I've seen hands here and there where someone Quadded 3 times but never where someone actually finished the hand. Given that, it should come as no surprise that today's other hand has never even been seen ready, anywhere, in the history of the world. Well, not by me anyway.
Four Quads: Limit Hand
4 Quads is as easy to figure out from its name as its little brother but that 4th quad takes the hand from 2 points all the way up to UNLIMITTED points! Alright, just the limit but still, it's pretty good for dumb luck. Normally when 4 quads have been declared in a hand, it's instantly declared a draw. This is the one time, however, that play will continue unless someone else declares another quad after that. And finally, it probably goes without saying, the wait is going to be a single tile sitting all by itself while the all the declared quads languish off to the right. Choose that tile carefully as it's going to make all the difference between limit glory or unlimited sorrow at having come so close, only to wind up one tile short.
Here are a couple examples of the Quad hands:
3 Quads
Winning Tile:
Green dragon and 3 Quads for 3 hand points, which would normally only be around 5200 points but with all the base points from Quads it goes up to 8000 for a non-dealer or 12000 for the dealer.
4 Quads
Winning Tile:
As always, limit hands are worth 32,000 for non-dealers and 48,000 for dealers.
