New dev area with gitweb
I'm currently setting up a new dev server at work. This includes hands-on work such as writing PHP organized in namespaces, but at a more technical level, modifying lighttpd and installing lots of packages on a Ubuntu server.
The dev server which is being deprecated is equipped with svn & trac, which has been really nice, especially for browsing the source code, code reviews and managing tickets, so the goals are set for this new server.
Gitweb will correspond to the demands for viewing source code, diffs and branches. Installing it and getting it up on lighttpd was a breeze, thanks to the guide How to setup gitweb with lighttpd on Ubuntu - jonathanrobson.me.
I used his config with some tweaks. The
$projectroot variable in /etc/gitweb.conf now points at a directory which has a clone of each of our reposes. I.e.
$ cd /home/git/projects
if /home/git/projects/ is where you store all of your repositories, in a common place as a base for your dev or stage area. Read my entry Using git init —bare for a slim repository look for a directory layout that works.
If you followed my approach,
$ ls /home/git/projects
should only consist of directories called
project-2.git and so forth. This is ideal for gitweb, which prefers to have a single directory to check for git repositories. (Check jonathanrobson's link above for the whole shebang.)
Bonus feature: styling
There's a github repository on https://github.com/kogakure/gitweb-theme which has an easily installed theme that looks much better than the original bundled with gitweb.

Over the last few weeks, the daffodils have started to poke their heads up. The blossom has started to appear on the tree outside of my house. And the temperature has been slowly creeping up a notch, day by day. Which is why I was so shocked to wake up last weekend to find a winter wonderland outside of my window.
Typically, it was on that snowy Sunday that I had planned to take a trip Newbury for the day. I had plans to finally catch up with my uni friend and fellow blogger, Amy. Just a few weeks earlier, we had been forced to cancel those very same plans because it had snowed then too. Which is why I was so determined to make our trip happen this time around. So, I climbed into my car, set up my sat-nav, programmed in the support of the Radio One DJs and set off for Newbury. Just a measly half an hour later than I had planned to, but not before resigning myself to the fact that I was probably only going to make it two roads down before having to return home.
As it turned out, the roads weren't that bad after all. And, much to mine and Amy's surprise, I rolled my way into Newbury at just after ten on Sunday morning.
After catching up on the months of daily chatter that we have missed out on lately, Amy and I did what any Brits would do on an unexpected snow day. We pulled on our boots and decided to make the most of it.
With spare socks at hand, a stupid amount of clothes on, and my camera hanging from my neck, we headed out for the snowy walk to Donnington; a little village just outside of the town of Newbury.
We passed endless amounts of children on our way to the castle; all laughing, playing and dragging sledges behind them. Showing us how a snow day is really done. But we just ambled along, listening to the snow crunch beneath our feet, admiring the view and simply nattering away to each other. With three months of catching up to do, we barely stopped to come up for air.
Until we reached the top of the hill anyway. When we finally stood in silence. Partially from the fact that the ascent had left us somewhat and ashamedly breathless. But mainly because we had stopped firstly to admire Donnington Castle, and then to gawp at the expansive view out across Newbury. All of which was beautifully coated with a layer of white, fluffy snow that simply made it even more breathtaking.
Visiting Donnington Castle
Today all that remains of the medieval castle is the gatehouse but it is now under the care of English Heritage so that will hopefully remain intact for many more years. As a result, unfortunately, you cannot go inside the castle.
However planning a trip to the English Heritage site couldn't be easier as it is located just off the busy A34, it is free to enter and there is a free car park nearby. So, as it won't cost you a penny to visit, it's still worth stopping by if you're in the area for a few hours. Even if you only go for the view over Newbury. Which is exactly what we did.
However, while it was beautiful to see in the snow, if you were able to visit in the summer then I think that it would be the perfect place to head with a picnic. You can see from miles from the top of the hill and it would be the perfect place to simply kick back and relax for a few hours on a warm day.
But with the temperature hitting a maximum of -3 when we visited, we decided to simply snap a few photos, laugh at some of the adventurous children attempting to snowboard down the hill on their sledges before heading back to Newbury to warm up and have some lunch. It was the perfect way to spend a chilly Sunday morning though. And as I'm certain that it is one of those places that will look beautiful in every season, I'm already excited about visiting again when the weather really starts to warm up.
Pin this for later:

In response to the scandal, News International's CEO, James Murdoch handed over the reigns to Tom Mockridge, and took on the title Executive Chairman instead. On Thursday, James Murdoch stepped down from that position as well. According to his father, Rupert, James is now in News Corp's New York headquarters, working on pay television and international operations. But is it too little too late for News Corp? Lowell Bergman is a correspondent for the Frontline documentary "Murdoch's Scandal." Frontline is co-produced by our partner WGBH and will air on PBS on Tuesday, March 27.

Tim Martin '91 In Siberia For Climate Change Research
In the Siberian tundra, alumnus Tim Martin '91, an earth science teacher at Greensboro (N.C.) Day School, lived and researched with an international team of scientists – from the United States, Germany, Russia and Austria – through the Polar TREC program, where K-12 teachers are paired with researchers in authentic polar research experiences. Martin was selected from applications of about 225 educators.
Martin, part of the "Geologic Climate Research in Siberia" expedition, helped scientists for a month, between March and April, conduct research at Lake El'gygytgyn, a crater lake created by a meteorite 3.6 million years ago. The lake is an important resource to researchers because it is the largest and oldest lake basin in the Arctic that is believed to be undisturbed by glaciers. The goal of the project is to better understand the role of the arctic in global climate change.
Martin's role in the expedition was to share the science with students, teachers and the general public through their Web site. To read from Martin's journal, visit: www.polartrec.com/geologic-climate-research-in-siberia/journals/tim-martin.

Check out what Charlotte at The Art of Quilling did with my St. Patrick's Day Lucky Penny printable! She quilled Shamrocks and laid them over the design. Aren't they amazing? Of course, this takes it out of the "quickest classroom handout you will ever do" category, but for those few special people - amazing!
Thanks so much for sharing this Charlotte. I absolutely love it!!! I'd love to see what the rest of you are doing with my printables. Be sure to comment or link up and let me know!

Between the Grammy Awards and the Penguins and Pitt games, Sunday was a good television day. Here are my notes from yesterday:
- Can the Penguins and Pitt play every Sunday until April? This will help get over the lack of Sunday football games.
- Actually, after watching Pitt lose to both Seton Hall and South Florida, perhaps we'll just stick with the Penguins playing on Sunday afternoon.
- There were not one, but two television commercials during the Penguins-Red Wings game featuring racecar driver Danica Patrick. Does she have a big following among hockey fans that I am unaware of?
- "Have you heard about McDonalds new $1 menu at breakfast?" Has this sentence every actually worked as a pick-up line?
- Sidney Crosby's 2nd period and shoot-out goals were sweet.
- South Florida's Dominique Jones is the best college basketball player you've never heard of. I may also be the best college basketball player you're heard of.
- The Grammys were kind enough to let us vote for one of three Bon Jovi songs for the band to perform. I think there should have been a write-in vote to have them cover a Barry Manilow tune.
- I think I liked Beyonce covering Alanis' You Oughta Know.
- Pink is a professional. How else can you explain her singing while twirling round and round while wet.
- Speaking of the Pink performance, are the Grammy Awards now like Sea World where the first three rows are the splash zone?
- When did Lady Antebellum get big? I saw them perform during halftime of a Steelers game a few years ago.
- Ke$ha and Justin Bieber are available to present at Bar Mitzvahs, corporate events, and weddings!
- Is Kanye banned from all award shows? He should have been on stage for actually winning for Run This Town with Jay-Z and Rihanna.
This was about the time that I went to sleep.

Flood Hits Modiin Mall
Today's rains brought a flood to the Azrielli Mall in the city of Modiin.
Divine retribution for Xmas Caroling in the Modiin Park...Offensive Billboards in the mall...preventing Jewish youths from putting on tefillin....Missionary Activity...?
Of course not!
It was simply poor urban planning for rainwater and sewage drains...don't worry Modiin, we still love you at the Muqata!
(or, this could simply be proof that G-d approved of today's laws passed in the Knesset)

It really bothers me that Israel, which is at the cutting edge of everything, still can't get a handle on this weatherproofing thing. I moved into my house almost 9 years and have been through numerous fix-it people and contractors trying to fix the leaks. Our local shul has leaks from the ceiling. And it's throughout the country. I realize the rainy season is very short and when all is said it doesn't rain too much, still, you would think that Israel, of all countries on earth, could figure this thing out.

Hey jameel, some normal people still live in Modiin...
- 7:07 AM, November 15, 2011
RRW: Of course there are normal people in Modiin. Why do you think it hasn't been into a city of salt?
There are at least 50 normal people there.
(We daven for Modiin every day :)
- 11:14 AM, November 15, 2011
anything in particular about the kenesset you are thinking of?
Just a guy... of course they can figure it out, but you have to pay for it. Are you going to pay for it?

I was there when it happened. Freaked out a bit because the elevators stopped running and my mom has an escalator phobia. Then a woman told me the parking lot was flooded. TG all ended well.
And I'm with Just a Guy. This mall is all of two years old. When they sat down to plan this thing, did it not occur to someone to say, you know it does rain sometimes here, maybe we should install a couple of drains in strategic locations? It seems like Building 101 to me--and should be part of the overall cost of building the thing. It'll cost alot more to fix it now and all that flooding costs someone money.
Planned city, indeed.
But I still don't get why you pick on us so much, Jameel.
- 6:45 PM, November 15, 2011
I'm beginning to suspect that perhaps you once got you ass kicked badly in Modiin by missionary pastors, wacky uber-liberals, and homosexual window dressers... and you still haven't gotten over the trauma. Say what you want about Modiin, Mor High School in Reut was ranked #1 as the high school that produced the highest number of IDF officers in 2010. Data shows that 97 Mor graduates finished the officer's course last year. The city of Modiin-Maccabim-Reut also has the highest number of Israel Defense Forces recruits, both among men and women, according to the IDF. Bnei Brak is last. Joe, I'll say it again - you really need to get away from the Muqata for a Shabbat and rediscover Modiin. Bring a toothbrush. You'll need it to get that bad taste out of your mouth.

Dear youngsters,
June is seriously just around the corner. It's been incredibly hard for me this year to simply realise how time passes by so goddamn quickly. Do you have that feeling too? I mean, it's almost summer. As you might know, it's my favorite period of the year and I'm so excited for what's yet to come. And that's kind of reflected in my #ootd. Here's the latest outfit post with a handmade character.
I am generally a lover of baby pink and this is why I absolutely fall for the attire. Girly vibes, feathers and glitter. And that's all I need to elevate my playful mood. By the way, this is my casual hair do at home.
I am wearing: Handpainted jacket by my mommah / Brandy Melville Jeans / All Star Converse / PCP Hair Tie / Skinnydip London Bag / Kaleido Earrings / Tom Carter Watch
Some pop art & a couple of positive vibes. That's all you really need to elevate your #ootd.

Janet Mock: TOP TEN BOOKS
Photo Courtesy of Aaron Tredwell
Writer, television host and transgender rights activist Janet Mock came to the spotlight in a 2011 Marie Claire article in which she detailed the struggles and triumphs she faced as a transgender girl growing up in Hawaii, traveling to Bangkok for gender reassignment surgery. She is a producer and interviewer for HBO's The Trans List, author of New York Times best selling "Redefining Realness," and author of the forthcoming memoir about life in her twenties. As she told Rookie Mag, "[Reading] prompted me to get a library card and just sit among those stacks and read books by women who looked like my self-image. That was important to me, because [those women] lived the life that I saw myself living one day, as a black woman."

This month, we interview English science fiction writer and WF staff member Harper J. Cole.
Your author biography states that you suffer from O.C.D. and Asperger's - and that you take aspects from these conditions into your writing. Can you expand on this concept?
I like to turn a negative into a positive. As difficult as having those conditions has made life for me at times, it's also given me an experience that most people haven't had. I can write a character with OCD with an authenticity that stronger authors than I might struggle to achieve, because living a condition tells you so much more than just studying it. In Subcutis, I've done that with the character of Gypsy.
Of course, there are dangers inherent in putting too much of yourself into a character, because that character begins to represent you. There's then a natural urge to make them the conquering hero - the dreaded "Mary Sue" that all authors must avoid. I try to hobble my characters with negative traits if they're getting too heroic!
Can you tell us how you got published and the process involved?
I'd sent off my manuscript to some publishers and agents. They declined, but were positive enough in their responses that I felt I could eventually make a breakthrough.
Ultimately, though, I decided to go with Amazon Publishing. It's a case of knowing your strengths and weaknesses. I've got the drive to write a book, but not the drive to send if off unsolicited to dozens and dozens of publishers until I get a yes. While Amazon Publishing is very much an automated machine with no friendly human contact to guide you through the process, the tools for putting a book together and promoting it are all there. It's worked out quite well.
What is your ideal environment for writing?
Comfortable chair, quiet room ... maybe a little gentle music in the background. Something by Gordon Lightfoot often works.
Do you have any hobbies outside of writing?
I'm something of an amateur chess player - I'm captain of a couple of local teams, as well as being club secretary, treasurer, competitions officer, web officer, league treasurer ...
Too many jobs! I really must learn to say no when I'm offered them. Just playing the game is fun mental exercise, though.
In your new book 'Subcutis', an expeditionary voyage to Centaurus is entirely crewed by women. Are you deliberately challenging gender stereotypes?
It's more about trying to reflect the modern world. Right now, there are organisations such as Emily's List specifically for promoting women in male-dominated areas. This process of positive discrimination (or affirmative action, in America) is sometimes controversial and most people have an opinion on it. I asked myself, if we ever develop the technology to colonise other worlds, might the same story not play out in space? It's interesting to explore.
It also puts my crew in the position of being underdogs, bucking the status quo, which is always a good starting point for a story.
If Subcutis were made into a film, which actors, past or present, would you cast to play the leads?
I'm not sure ... to be honest, I'm not an author who tends to have a clear picture of my characters in mind (I know that some writers have already "cast" the movie even as they're writing the book).
I'd probably want Maggie Gyllenhaal to play a role. Not sure which one though!
And what soundtrack would you choose?
I'm not musically gifted, so I can't apply much expertise here. Something orchestral, something with heart to it ...
As a sci-fi writer, which authors have inspired you to follow this genre?
Isaac Asimov stands out. I grew up with his Foundation Trilogy, as we'd often get the audio version out from the library. I can see his influence in some of my ideas.
But, while it makes me sound like a bit of a heathen, I've probably been most influenced by the television - specifically, Star Trek: The Next Generation. It first aired in England during my formative teenage years, so it was perfectly timed for me.
Do you have any favourite sections of WF, and are there any particular benefits in being a member?
You can often find me talking nonsense in the game threads! Of course, writing is our main purpose here - the various competitions are a great way to do that. I've actually stuck some of the poems I've written on the WF into my books, to add a little extra colour to my characters.
Have you travelled, if so, where are your favourite destinations?
Aspies like me don't travel very well - it's a big departure from our comfort zone. Between 2009 and 2017, I didn't leave England at all.
Sometimes we all have to stretch our boundaries, though. Last Summer, I went on holiday without my family for the very first time - to the Greek Island of Kos, where I played in a Chess tournament. The travelling was stressful, but I'm glad I did it.
Favourite destination would probably be Japan, though. That was quite an adventure ...
When did you first realise that you are a writer?
I'd wanted to write a book since I was a child, but I wouldn't say I felt like a writer until I read through my first draft of Subcutis and thought, "This actually looks like a novel." I was genuinely surprised, as I'd had failed attempts to write stories since my early twenties, and feared I'd never get there. We can peak as writers quite late though - I guess something clicked for me at around about the age of thirty-six.
How long did it take to write Subcutis, and did you have any sort of writing routine?
The first draft took about half a year, I think, mostly writing a few hundred words in the evenings. I'm a slow worker, and hardly ever manage more than two thousand words in a day. It's rather like mountaineering - set small intermediate goals so that the size of the overall task doesn't get too daunting.
As a sci-fi writer, do you have any interest in the sciences?
Truth be told, I've a limited flair for them, but I have looked at a few books on quantum physics, to see if I can understand them (I can't!)
Of course, I do a bit of research to try and add a touch of realism to my books. Concepts like space warps and artificial gravity, though, are so far beyond our current technology that you're more or less on your own if you want to use them in fiction.
Having written a novel, do you have any tips for the planning stage?
Don't try to write the best book ever. I remember once deciding to craft a ten thousand page fantasy novel that would surpass Tolkien, and the result was five drab chapters weighed down by their futile striving to be EPIC.
Just take an idea that interests you and work from that. Be aware that new ideas will come to you as you write, so don't be worried if it seems like your story will be too short. When you've finished, there's every chance that you'll have something unique and interesting.
Ideally, if you could take one character from any sci-fi book/film and put them in another, who and what would you choose?
The character of David from Prometheus / Alien:Covenant is intriguing. I think he'd work in any setting.
Writing wise, are you working on anything at the moment?
Yes: Subcutis is the first in a four book series. I'm currently finishing off the first draft of the sequel, Amygdala.
Where can the readers find out more about you and your work?
I'm on twitter as @HarperJCole. Mostly, though, you can find me right here at WritingForums.com ...
Is there anything else you wish to say to the readers?
Thanks for reading, and don't give up on your dreams. If I can do it, anyone can!
Harper's book is available via Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com
UPDATE: Harper J. Cole's second book in the series is now available!

From the first editorial in The Libertine's "Summer Session" series, we bring you a stunning siren sequence; lensed by Libertine favorite, Akila Berjaoui. For this editorial, Akila captures her gorgeous friend Vlada as they lounge around the pool on a summer day. Vlada's energy and beauty are completely disarming in 'Don't You Call Anybody Else Baby". Her smoothly toasted skin, wayward curls and deep chocolate eyes lend easy sensuality to the flawless photography (airy summer styles assembled by Akila and Jacob Habib). We couldn't be more excited to exclusively share Akila and Vlada's recent collaboration as a part of our latest review. Enjoy!

I am one of at least 20,000 Americans currently living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), just a part of the broader worldwide community mourning the passing of Stephen Hawking. His life was exceptional in many ways, just one of which was how full a life he lived for more than fifty years after his diagnosis of ALS. He has inspired me to focus on what I can do, rather than what my body can no longer do.

The Cure are an iconic, ForAlwaysAndEver misunderstood and underrated British band whose devoted fan family stretches far out of that little island's silly little borders and spans the globe in innumerable vapour trails, around and around and back and forth and zigzagging in untold, unlogged, and unchecked miles endlessly since the Punk era. Since disco balls hung and "Disco Sucks!" T-Shirts fought it out. Since Sabbath was underground; since Ian Curtis lived and railed on beautiful decrepit little stages before 25 people; since Jim and William Reid yet lurked in their shared bedroom before a flickering TV and were not yet making pure art that also defined an era, and us. The Cure have been here since before all that history and a lot more besides.
The Cure stood on a New York club stage in 1980 and performed something miraculous called "A Forest" to their audience's and their own muffled delight and secret final smile (breaking the façade of a perfect Terry Hall pose). Here, they put something into the world that was so utterly perfect in that early flight that it remains largely unchanged except for embellished yet still subtle rococo flourishes that make thousands of us each smile as if it was our private joke each and every time to this day. And today, in 2016, as in 1980, Robert Smith stops and smiles quietly, graciously, without ego, marveling at Simon Gallup's final bass grunts of that perfect song as if they were 17 again, 17 still. As ever, Simon Gallup stands to Smith's left, as at ease together through thick and thin as if they were still at school and had only recently said "let's start a band" never knowing what that would mean in 1985 and 1989 and 2001 and 2016. Never thinking, in the era of punk and the era of youth, that forever time, about the future at all, maybe.
I don't write straight gig reports. I don't go to boring gigs, or write about anything I can't love. I pay attention, have fun, be present and try not to annoy strangers. I do my part. And I don't bring my dark cloud with me to those crowds, or take notes, or more than 3 pictures even. I put those away, and bring instead my 1985 heart, which, as it cracks open from somewhere hidden, is worth the price of any ticket I can afford or time I can make, far more than any video one might steal/hoard. I share the best of me, rarely seen, with my kind. For this is 2016 and every outing matters on stage or in public. The world today, as I write this, has just gone dark yet again, darker still, with mass public violence targeted at people going out to dance, to find love.
But even yesterday, a story about The Cure could be a kind of history about survival itself. For all our musical heroes/icons/gods are getting on, and we are too, but how (well) did we live? We are going grey, we drink coffee without pleasure like medicine, to face the day, we are tired. We worry about our steps and losing our passport and sunburn now, and looking too old, as much as the money these days.
A story about The Cure could be, in fact, far TOO OFTEN IS a story of "nostalgia" but if you are a true (born) nostalgia merchant, and know what that word means, you will stop misusing it. Nostalgia means a painful homesickness for a place that you cannot get back to. It's from the Greek, from the ancient texts. From a time when the only stories worthy of language and print itself were Epics, never noise; from the minds of authoritative geniuses. Nostalgia itself lingered in the adventurous and conquering heroes of legend and myth (and reality) who, like the last of our musical heroes worthy of the title (and the very few still out there) left on a journey that went only one way. As we all should.
The Cure might just be music for real nostalgics. Some of us have pined and longed and fretted since we first knew what home ever was, and wasn't. And what "love" ForAlwaysAndEver was promised in reams of letters in teenage hands, and wasn't, actually. And what those old words mean in the longer run, when to look back and when to stop. Who the hell stands next to you now, in 2016? Who is left? Who would hold your hand? Who would shield you from violence? Who is your hero in private? Who did you choose to pin to your walls, did you choose them well? Who can take that stage without fear, too? Who ought to? Who is there for the right reasons, the only reasons – for love? Well there's me. There's my partner in life (22 years) and media, now, with the photo laminate. And most critically of all, there's Robert Smith and The Cure, as solid as marble.
What story of The Cure can I tell you? If you are a real fan you know. I met some of you yesterday. I'm sorry for whooooing a little during the exciting opening five tracks: OPEN, KYOTO SONG, A NIGHT LIKE THIS, THE WALK, and PUSH, (then INBETWEEN DAYS which could set alight the chart this day if the chart were worth a single damn) songs that cross cut my favourite era and are fresher than too much of this era's music could dream of being. And arguably greater than some of the band's own "Greatest Hits". Wikipedia does not track for such truths, right? I love you two fans I met for your haircuts that gave me life and hope, for your goodness and obvious sweetness, for your 21 year relationship; for your jumping a bus to Montreal after this. I wish I was on that bus with you, I wish I had the gumption and will and talent to rob a bank and I'd be there looking for you tomorrow paying top scalper dollar against my own beliefs, because it's The Cure.
If you are a Wikipedia "journalist" or disinterested front row summer intern barely posing as a journalist, who enters spaces like this for free while fans pay so dearly to hear you talk through it all, ruining it for them/us, and/or if you are a casual fan or a rubbernecker, what could I ever say? We don't speak the same tongue. 140 characters is more than enough for us, forevermore. But bad sound and noise bleed from another tent nearby that kicks up only on day two with some strange wind is not a story about a band or a performance, especially when they rise above it and show grace and commitment like I've never seen, in a difficult environmental situation like I've never seen. And when The Cure could walk, they instead rise and deliver, digging deep like the pros they are, like the artists they are, and without the convoy of tractor trailers and two day set ups of so many big, risk averse, uncreative bands.
Only the most disconnected, the laziest, most careless and least deserving writers in a big, important city like ours, a Cure city, would make "glitches" the (whole) story now, today. But the world has grown cold and hateful, and so lazy, indifferent, so unpaid, and so undeserving of payment, hasn't it? And, sure, as expected, some real fans didn't make it here today, who just don't vibe on this festival thing, the lack of extra time and of privacy and a seat, who just don't want to portapotty, or who know the downsides: the casual interlopers, the lack of order, the crowds or lack thereof, the wind, the noise bleed, and all that is less than ideal about such risks. And now I know why, but have no regrets, none at all. All of us here, including the coolest dads with their just old enough kids, know how to make our own order out of chaos. Are not homesick whenever we are here. Learned a few things from this band, you know? Learned so many things. Not frivolous things but life things.
As an innate, in love but still realistic fan since the age of 14 I can say with all joy, humility and gratitude for the city I happened to be born in and the cheaper seats always and a band that does not price gouge even as the industry makes it a hanging offence to be reasonable, that I've seen The Cure first at 15 in 1985, then on the tours for Kiss Me, Disintegration; Wish; and other inbetween times & festivals like the still shimmering Eden Musicfest in 1996, another time in 1996!? and the very good, fulsome and long set that was Riot Fest Toronto two years ago. I don't know fully anymore the other years and venues except by the historic sites in my city now gone into dust, and so, carved into memory, but all of it has taught me that The Cure needs to be played live in the open air on a summer night, but in the twilight as darkness descends. And they need to be heard the same way and there will always be risks to that joyful sound that colours the breeze and is witchy.
All great, established and hard-working bands have their well-earned dedicated fan-bases, but these alliances are certainly harder to spot or to ensure in the festival setting. I only see one Goth today, and she's covered up enough for us all, but truthfully, I know all of us raised (self-raised, mostly) on The Cure are "goth" in our hearts to the core, meaning, in this increasingly insane world of 2016, that we are merely broken-hearted, smart, well-read creative realists who were ahead of our time, not unlike The Cure. Our interests, our art, our choices, our life's decisions were informed by the music of The Cure whose art, humour, and wisdom has reliably been in our lives ever since we left the cave. We also, no matter how unlikely or foolish we've otherwise been in life, made at least one good bet by picking music's dark horse to win, place or show (the trifecta) and we are proud, we are right, if only for once.
The Cure has long told us the truth. Love is about drowning and shining like Christmas, like strawberries and cream, as perfect as cats, about avoiding ghosts from your past, sleeping alone, flickering, envy, inbetween days, foralwaysandever, aloneness and togetherness, feeling like you are young (again) fun (again) forever fraught because forever is a long long long time. And sometimes you just shrug off all that and say "Let's go to bed."
The Cure's forever is longer than the music industry's was. Longer than records lasted and even CDs and record stores and the music papers lived, when scribes gave way to tweets and twats. For always, though, means not high school, not until that band T-shirt falls apart or gets stolen by a sibling or by an Ex-"forever". Forever means to the grave and beyond, my friends. And the same applies to Hostiles.
Forever means tombstones and monuments of marble, and rocks that oceans can barely nudge, and cliffs you don't jump off at all, after all, but step back and be brave enough to be. Love is pretty and twinkly or it's gorgeously stupid, it was the home of all we might have been, it's impossible, letters, is enduring, stoic, sad, stubborn, it says do do do do do do do do – do (more than six different ways). It squeals, it's a bad acid trip, it's a hangover, it's addiction and it's musical, it's chimes, it's a lot more besides, put down in poetry, mined and writ large by this band. In the final analysis we always sleep alone, were warned of this, too, in 1985. Forever is simply perfectly romantic and lush but works silently before a crowd to ignore so much noise from outside. Hateful, pushy noise, carried on the wind, noise that is so inferior "wub wub wub wub" that it offends all this that should be: our usual perfect ceremony.
And with love, and notions of forever, half the time, you are lost in the forest, and alone.
And isn't sunlight one's enemy when you are a realist, a goth, a vampire? And yet a hazard that must be braved to get to the good part? The glamorous part. And doesn't it burn, across his right arm, slowly, as Robert Smith jokes, "It happens gradually, you don't burst into dust." We are joking, inside joking, with the man. He's a man after all, and as seen from the barrier, Robert Smith and The Cure are not only what fans worldwide have dreamed, hoped or come to know with sterling weight, but even up close in the sunshine with the unpredictable imperfections that days like this will bring, can yet surprise us with grace, patience, wit, humility, and a deserved God-like status that most icons have abandoned or lost to time and misfortune. Or been run off by pitchforks.
On days like today, days of celebration and preparation, The Cure comes out of their incorruptible private lives sounding as clean and bright as 1980. And when the sound cuts out, we fans raise our voices and fill the space for a few seconds. No boos at all. But kinship. Isn't that love(ly?) No, is that so glitchy? It might just depend if you were raised on records or lifeless MP3s. Music is not a file, invisible, empty, flat and throbbing with fraudulence like so much MacBook Air whimpering noise. Smith's voice is untouched by autotune, pure of the curse of the lip sync generation that is kissing close, and this real voice is as clear and strong and confident and original as it was in 1985. This band plays no genre but "Cure Music" and defies the odds, trends and commercialization like almost no one else of their stature and legacy ever does, or probably ever will again at their level. All those Joy Division shirts are everywhere (on these grounds) in 2016 and the wearers seem blind to the fact that JD's peers, their heirs, are right here, tonight. But that all may be out of fashion for today: stature, legacy, authenticity, low tech, no tech, analog, live singing, history. Life itself, like music festivals can be, is imperfect and glitchy and weird and absurd and full of annoying distractions and pests and weirdly, tends to age, slowly, normally, honestly instead of becoming locked in the amber of early death at the very rough age of 23. Real music that touches us is good and no one can tell us how to feel about it or how to rate it on some metric or a faux world based on (anti) social media, which,being based as it is on statistics, not art, seems like a sort of death at any age.
So darkness falls, and we vampires all assume our true form, finally, in Toronto. All ages, multi-generational, younger and older, and real. The diehards who could make it are here somewhere and so are the fans from wherever within four hours in two countries who come here for this band and given the option, months ago, didn't just go to Montreal instead for a more guaranteed sort of evening and good hotels, a grown up, old school mini vacay. We here live in the shadows and the dirt, instead. But finally on stage or in front of it, we are all as one, svelte, sexy, light as air, gravity defying, all white glowing eyes and red lips. Like Robert showed us how to be. The real Lestat of our imaginations, not like the fakery of Tom Cruise. And an ocean away from the sparkly foolishness of Twilight. We are real, if fragile and mercurial before real enemies, we crumble slowly to dust together, fall apart together, hold each other up, pray for rain. We are left standing in our truth, and how shimmering it all can be for minutes or hours, when all stats and cold facts and glitches aside, a band this great and alive, this flexible, loving and creative is misunderstood forever and always underrated, yet, I say, worthy of an Epic.

Our English Website is currently under construction. Stay tuned for more. Release in August 2020!
Estate Wine
This wine has a brilliant color. Fruit flavors of wild strawberry, cherry and raspberry literally sprout out of the glass. Fruity and fresh in the taste. Great, uncomplicated Rosé. Ideal for drinking in the summer.
Auxerrois belongs to the Burgundy family and is a rarity at the Saar. Juicy apple fruit with a subtle acidity. Great for those looking for a lower-acid wine. One of the most popular wines in our assortment.
Pinot Blanc
The Pinot Blanc vines are actually the oldest vineyard in the Saar valley. The rocky meager slate soil gives this Pinot Blanc a truly distinctive taste since Pinot Blanc vines are usually not grown on slate soil. The vineyards have a perfect southern exposure on really steep slopes of red and blue slate. The "Pinot Blanc" was spontaneously fermented in a steel tank and in large wooden barrels. Great aromatic fruitiness and creamy finish. You get a mouth full of flavor of white peach and luscious pears.
Food & Wine Pairing
The Pinot Blanc perfectly goes with white asparagus with potatoes and a sauce hollandaise. Suits any kind of fish and green salad.
Pinot Noir
Our Pinot Noir was planted in 1986. Just like most burgundies, it is fermented in large wooden barrels and then aged in smaller wooden barrels. Silky and soft, yet elegant with depth and power. Our Pinot Noir 2015 is one of the best Pinot Noirs at the Moselle.
Food & Wine Pairing
Pinot Noir goes great with deer, wild boar or similar dishes.
Scivaro (mideval German for Slate)
This Riesling is the flagship of the winery. A cuvée from the Würtzberg and Herrenberg, often with Spätlese or Auslese level of maturity.The Scivaro has a very attractive bouquet, elegance and clarity and with the great balanced fruitiness: a wine for every occasion.
Food & Wine Pairing
The Scivaro Riesling goes well with pulled pork and potato wedges. Suits many pasta dishes and chicken.
Ortswein (local wine)
Terra Saar
This Riesling is a classic Saar Riesling: a perfectly balanced try wine with typical Saar minerality and lemon zest flavor just as the name suggests. A very cool wine with lemon and lime flavor with a hint of peach and fresh herbs.
Food & Wine Pairing
The Terra Saar goes wonderfully with fish and shellfish. Works well with poultry and vegetable variations. Spiced Thai dishes and Thai curries work well, too.
Pinot Blanc 'R'
Only the best gapes were selected to ensure a fresh nose of white peach and tried herbs. On the palate are fruity flavours of apple blossom, lemon, pineapple and pink grapefruit with a hint of vanilla and a hint of oak with a creamy finish.
Food & Wine Pairing
The Pinot Blanc "R" perfectly goes with grilled swordfish with a lemon-basil butter. Works well with other fish and scallops and other mussels. The Pinot Blanc is a good fit for chicken as well.
Lagenwein (Würtzberg)
Alte Kupp
Selecitvely harvested from old vines from a special part of the hilltop of the monopoly owned Serriger Würtzberg. The name "Alte Kupp" translates to "old hilltop." The vineyard has a perfect southern exposure on really steep slopes of red slate. In the nose are fresh lemon flavours with a hint of spiciness. Fruit driven wine with a bouquet of peach, quince and gooseberry.
"Quite generous and substantial, but it also has a quite firm acidic backbone…there's some real power and the balance is impressive." (James Suckling; Alte Kupp Riesling 2016 with 91 points)
Food & Wine Pairing
The Riesling Kabinett "Alte Kupp" is fabulous with sashimi and sushi. Goes perfectly with Asian Pad Thai with either chicken or prawns and soy sauce with Jasmin Rice or fried noodles.
The Würtzberg Riesling "Rotschiefer" is the counterpart of the Herrenberg Riesling "Blauschiefer" where the importance of the terroir is manifested. The Vineyards "Serriger Würtzberg" got his name from the spicyness it adds to the wine (the German word "Würtzberg" could be translated into English as "spice hill"). The Wine has a gentle acidity. On the palate pink grapefruit, red peach as well spices and floral notes. Powerful wine with a mouth-watering finish.
Food & Wine Pairing
The Würtzberg Rotschiefer is perfect with lentil soup with Cajun style prawns and other Cajun kitchen. At the same time the wine can handle pork chops and grilled steaks.
Spätlese 'T'
The Würtzberg Spätlese 'T' fermented spontaneously in stainless steel tanks. Afterwards the wine was treated with the "sur lie" aging method meaning the finished wine continues to sit for a long time on the yeast lees for a more intense extraction of flavours. The sur lie method results in wonderful complex wines.
On the nose are fresh lime and light grapefruit flavours with a hint of spiciness and herbs …very typical for Würtzberg.
Food & Wine Pairing
The Serriger Würtzberg Spätlese 'T' suits local and international cuisine such as German "beef rouladen" or Mediterranean style fish with vegetables or bouillabaisse. Also goes well with chicken satay and mashed potatoes.
Alte Reben
From 50 year old, own-rooted Riesling vines. Complex and profound on the one hand, subtle and delicate on the other. An exceptional wine.
Our Best?
Lagenwein (Herrenberg)
Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett
Due to the long storage in wooden barrels, the dry Riesling wine has a very gentle acidity. On the nose, the dry Riesling shows beautiful citrus aromas, especially lemon and lime. On the tongue pineapple, vanilla and lemon with a slight wooden touch.
A classic from the Herrenberg with playful, polished minerality paired with fine aromas. Unmatched clarity. Seductive. What's your type? Rotschiefer or Blauschiefer?
Serriger Herrenberg Riesling Spätlese
The Herrenberg Spätlese fermented spontaneously in stainless steel tanks. Afterwards the wine was treated with the "sur lie" aging method meaning the finished wine continues to sit for a long time on the yeast lees for a more intense extraction of flavours. The sur lie method results in wonderful complex wines. This is a very fruit driven wine with a bouquet of grapefruit, peach, gooseberry and lemon with balanced acidity and minerality. This sweet wine is a perfect with any dessert and has great aging potential.
Food & Wine Pairing
This wine wonderfully partners for both cheeses like gorgonzola cream (and other cheeses) as well as sweet desserts such as mouse au chocolat and mango sorbet. Works well as a companion for starters like foie gras.
Serriger Herrenberg Riesling Auslese
The Serriger Herrenberg Auslese was spontaneously fermented in stainless steel tanks. After the grapes were selectively hand-picked, the wine was treated with the "sur lie" aging method meaning the finished wine continues to sit for a long time on the yeast lees for a more intense extraction of flavours. The wine convinces with its fruity bouquet of grapefruit, pineapple, passion fruit, honey, lemon and lime. Slight honey nuances come from Botrytis. Due to the high acidity and the high residual sweetness the wine has an enormous storage potential.
Sparkling Wine
Riesling Sekt brut
Dry Riesling Sparkling wine.
Cuvée Pinot brut
Sparkling wine made out of Pinot Noir grapes, which gives the sparkling wine a wonderful rosé colour. Great drinking pleasure.

It was during our orientation tele-conference that I first heard the theme. Our Palestinian host and guide invited us to come and witness their over 100-year struggle against oppression and occupation, a struggle for human dignity and freedom. "Come," he said, "find out why we are still standing, why we are hopeful, in spite of the catastrophe. As we live with apartheid, racism, discrimination and walls, discover why we are still smiling. This is our strength."
It didn't take long for me to encounter the hope he bragged about. On the very first day, I was awed by the power of resistance I encountered at every turn – individual and communal resistance, structural resistance, physical, mental and emotional resistance – and an overall refusal to accept injustice or inhumanity of any kind. Grass roots networks of resistance abounded, and in journaling my experiences that day, I reflected upon what it means for resistance to be a way of life.
Here again, I encountered a theme that wasn't new to me – in fact, I've spent countless hours reading, researching, writing, teaching, and even preaching about resistance. And yet, the power of resistance took on a whole new dimension as I witnessed a palpable spirit of communal resistance among so many who shared their stories. When I encountered the popular slogan to exist is to resist, I began to understand the depth of meaning of resistance for a people who have endured the attempts of both physical and cultural genocide. I knew I had much to learn about what it means to not just engage in resistance, but to embody resistance at the core of your identity.
As I attempted to articulate the spirit of resistance I was encountering, I journaled,
Resistance is enacting what limited freedom you have available to you. Claiming what dignity you can salvage. Living as fully as you can despite living under the thumb of the oppressor – and refusing to let the current powers that be fully control your behavior, your thoughts, your identity, your life….
Resistance is not without consequences. Many we met have served years in prison. Many have been further denied access to precious resources. Whole towns and communities have been punished for the resistance of one of their own. And yet, people resist. Individuals resist, communities resist, and networks of resistance appear and enact what they can for the sake of themselves, their people, those who they've lost in the struggle, those they love who are kept from them, and the young people who know only the lies they've been told.
The resistance we encountered was a resistance to inhumanity – a refusal to allow anyone, or anything, to lessen your identity as a human being. Our translator articulated this well when I asked her who/what she understood to be her enemy. She explained, "my enemy is anyone who doesn't see me as equal. Anything that is unjust to me – not just people, walls. All that represents inequality. I demand a simple life with dignity." She went on to clarify that she didn't ask for much in the world. She didn't need cars, or lots of material wealth. But she did demand dignity. She deserved to be treated with the basic respect any human being is entitled to. Resistance isn't merely an act of survival, it is an act of proclaiming one's humanity, despite anyone, or anything, that would seek to deny this.
In addition to the resistance we encountered among the Palestinians, there was great hope, and deep connection, in participating in an international delegation of people committed to the work of resistance in our own communities. Sharing stories and songs, laughter and learnings, we celebrated the power of resistance across our lands, and were deeply encouraged to know that our struggles are not isolated, and we are not alone in our efforts of resistance.
As I enter into a new year, I carry with me the lessons of hope and resistance I learned in Palestine. I resolve to do what I can to participate in resistance in the year ahead – in my community, in my country, and in the world. Even more, I resolve to be a part of an ever-expanding community of resistance. It is this larger community that I will continue to learn from and draw strength from as the need for resistance grows ever greater.
Join me in the way of resistance!

Celebrate Alexander Hamilton's Birthday At This Gorgeous Nevis Resort
I love Alexander Hamilton as much as the next American. He's the first-ever Secretary of the Treasury (and star of the $10 bill), inspiration for Broadway's hottest musical, and star of a children's book. To celebrate his birthday on January 11th, I propose we all go to his island of birth--Nevis--and toast his eternal memory while sitting here:
... Or here.
This is the stunning Paradise Beach Nevis on Mr. Hamilton's home island, and it's a gorgeous new property (opened in June 2015). I've always loved the remote luxury of this Caribbean island, and now Paradise Beach brings villa style to the game. The resort has seven beautiful beachfront villas, and at 3,400 square feet with up to four bedrooms and private pools, they're like mini-islands unto themselves.
Exhibit A:
(Did I mention you can opt in for private chef service? Now that's sound fiscal policy.)
Nevis, with its castaway luxe vibe, has long attracted high-wattage personalities seeking time in the sun away from the flashbulbs (think Princess Diana, Oprah, Michael Douglas, Jay Z, and Beyonce). Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator and star of Hamilton, spent time on the island while working on the musical. Most recently, rumor has it that Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, was tucked away at Paradise Beach with his family over New Year's. Because this:
... and this:
No wonder everyone comes away inspired. With a week at Paradise Beach, there's no limit to what I might create! Let's tip our hat to one of our nation's greatest citizens and book a flight to St. Kitts/Nevis to get this party started. Happy Birthday, Mr. H! You're looking pretty hot for 259 years old.
(Thanks to Paradise Beach Nevis for the photos!)
Love islands like we love islands?

From Field to Field: Success of the Soccer Team
April 20, 2017
The ADM soccer team has played and practiced on grassy fields, dirt fields, and turf fields. Could this be the key to their success?
The Island Park, just north of Adel, has been the home field for the Tigers since last year. With the new stadium, came a new field for the team. With this new field, the team has yet another option to practice on.
"I think it is very beneficial to be able to play and practice at multiple locations. It makes us better because we get to practice playing fast on turf and work on our touch at Island Park and the practice field," said Sydney Bertman, senior soccer player.
Izzy Lafollette, a junior on the team, agreed, saying, "I like having multiple fields to practice on because it is beneficial for the team to experience different fields that we will possibly end up playing on, like turf or grass."
Overall, even though the practice times may change on the daily, the team enjoys having multiple options of fields. Bertman commented, "This makes us able to better adapt to other opponents fields, so they don't have an advantage."
Even though they enjoy practicing on different fields, they mostly all enjoy playing on the turf field, says Lafollette. "We play fast, so we play cleaner and overall connect better."

Tri-Lakes Golf, LLC has completed the purchase of Woodmoor Pines Golf and Country Club.
The private club and community centerpiece of the Woodmoor area in Monument joins two public courses – Kings Deer Golf Club and Pagosa Springs Golf Club – which were acquired by Tri-Lakes Golf earlier this year.
Depending on their membership category, golf members can play at one club or at all three. Other membership levels include Athletic, Tennis, Swim, Fitness, Social and Corporate memberships.
In addition, Tri-Lakes has chosen Legend Golf Management to manage day-to-day operations. Legend's executive team includes CEO Robert Williams, COO Vic Harshberger and CFO Joe Zalewski.
Harshberger and Zalewski are both local residents and have been associated with Woodmoor Pines for several years.
Williams who has been involved in more than 100 golf course acquisitions as past CEO of American Golf Management said the club's scenic location, value to the surrounding community and its attractive membership categories made it a solid acquisition.
More than $2 million in capital improvements, including a water-saving irrigation system, have been completed since 2007.


text: It was not clear how many people were on board the boats during Thursday's getaway, although some reports suggested the presence of at least 30 fishermen. Local accounts Local residents of Lasqorey, a village where the Egyptians were being held, confirmed seeing the boats leave the coast. "I think some of the pirates are dead because one of them told me that the crews fought them and managed to get away with the boats," Ali Guled, a pirate in Lasqorey, told the AFP news agency. In depth The pirate kings of Puntland Q&A: Return to Somalia Q&A: Piracy in the Gulf of Aden Timeline: Somalia Videos: Life inside the den of Somalia's pirates Lucrative raids lure Somali youth Meet the pirates Somalia guard struggles to combat piracy Al Jazeera's Mohammed Adow, in the Kenyan capital Nairobi, noted that the fishermen had made a "daring and dramatic escape" by taking matters into their own hands. "The pirates were celebrating the release of an Italian tugboat which had been taken alongside the two Egyptian fishing boats and for which they had been paid $4m in ransom," he said. "The five pirates guarding the boats were said to be drunk, and the fishermen took advantage of that and attacked the pirates. They are said to have killed two of them and sailed off to Yemen." The case highlights how illegal fishing off Somalia's coast is one of the "core issues creating the continuation of piracy", our correspondent said. "The Somali pirates are saying they are just doing what they are doing to guard their country's resouces, and particularly the country's marine resources, which they say all kinds of people from different nationalities are coming in to take advantage of their country's lack of central authority." In a related development, amid concern about a possible rise in attacks as the monsoon winds ease, officials from the region met military officials from Nato's anti-piracy force on Thursday. "We had talks with the Nato military officials on board one of their ships ... in order to prevent the pirates from carrying out attacks after the monsoon winds end," Muse Gele Yusuf, a Puntland governor, said.

Hanoi, Vietnam, 15 March 2018
The 2nd Ocean Dialogue was organized by the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam (DAV) in collaboration with the Australian Embassy and Konrad Adenaur Siftung of Germany. The event was held in DAV.
With the ongoing discussions worldwide on depleting fish stocks, this dialogue aimed to identify innovative approaches that can enhance better management of marine living resources in the South China Sea.
Capt. Martin A. SEBASTIAN RMN (R), Senior Fellow and Centre Head, Centre for Maritime Security and Diplomacy (MSD) was invited to provide the opening for the dialogue, moderated by Dr Ha Anh Tuan, Bien Dong Maritime Institute, DAV. Speakers from China, Vietnam and Indonesia were invited as discussants.
Dr Ha Anh Tuan (Centre), Bien Dong Maritime Institute, DAV with participants.
Capt. Martin spoke on the Comprehensive Approach in Fishery Management. He called for the safeguarding of fishery habitats, enhancement of marine resources scientific research and multi stakeholder consultations on food security.
He added that the industry has already taken a role to address Illegal unregistered and unregulated fishing; and fishery crimes. He drew comparison with the Private Maritime Security Companies (PMSC) that were successful in combatting piracy in the Gulf of Aden. The fishing industry too can support in soft security instead of hard security ie catch certification schemes to deter illegally caught fisheries from entering the market. Certification also allows contaminated products to be removed by batches from supermarkets, instead of the entire lot.
Capt. Martin being interviewed by the Press
In his closing remarks, he pointed out the examples from Thailand and Indonesia on inter-agency cooperation. He emphasized the role of political will and media in addressing fishery issues and how Comprehensive Approach can create opportunities for sustainable development.

Korg Kronos - Three Updates
With the Kronos, Korg issued a high-end music workstation that offers outstanding software integration. By releasing regular updates, Korg makes sure its gear stays up to date. Take these recent three updates for the Kronos, for instance.
Kronos Editor 3.0.0 and Plug-in Editor 3.0.0
Working with a Kronos is a real pleasure, not in the least part because of its attractive colour display. A PC or Mac also has its benefits, however. Editing the Kronos' Set List, Combination, Program, Wave Sequence, Drum and Global settings is easy with the stand-alone Kronos Editor. For DAW applications (AU, VST, 32-bit), there's a special Plug-in Editor.
Version 3.0.0 - now available for both the regular and the Plug-in Editor - supports the SGX-2 piano module. That means you can use its vintage effects wherever the Kronos applies effects. Additionally, this new version of the Kronos (Plug-in) Editor allows you to edit Programs in the context of Combinations and Songs.
Kronos System 3.0.3
In order to support the aforementioned features, your Kronos' system can do with an update as well. Do you want to make the most of all these great new possibilities? Make sure to install Kronos System version 3.0.3 first.
Kronos Sub-System Firmware 1.08
This firmware update was developed for the Kronos 2, which is also known as the 2015 edition. It aims straight for the heart of the Kronos, and fixes two rare yet extremely annoying glitches. First of all, in rare cases, the Kronos' audio outputs suffer from USB data transmission with an external computer. Secondly, users may have, on occasion, come across an error message saying that 'A problem has been detected'. With this firmware update, both of these problems have been solved.
In short, thanks to these three updates, you'll be able to use your Kronos to its full potential again. If you're an avid Kronos user, they come highly recommended. To get the updates, visit this page, and click on the option Operating System.

Hello.. I got 2 problems when i'm trying to join the server.
I don't remember my in-game account password, also it stands something like this when i'm trying to join the server " [14:36:58] [SERVER KICK]: Luzziz(22) has been Kicked from KCNR (Proxies are not allowed)." I don't know what this is, someone said it's VPN which I'm not using, could it be my router that's bugging out or something?
Because I've been having this trouble for a while now, I can see your server online only but I can't see other servers. It's really strange, do you have any ideas what can cause this " proxy " thing?
