Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr wanted his team to watch the end of the Masters, where Tiger Woods reigned supreme.
Woods carded a two-under-par 70 in the final round at Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday to claim his 15th major title and first in 11 years.
Kerr made sure two-time defending NBA champions the Warriors – in the mist of the Western Conference first-round playoffs – tuned in to see Woods' victory.
"Everybody was pretty excited," Kerr told reporters. "We had to delay our film session so we could watch the last couple of holes. It was pretty amazing and fun to watch."
Woods last earned a major title at the U.S. Open in 2008. The American star's career was then side-tracked by injuries and off-the-course issues. He was ranked as low as 1,199th in the world as recently as November 2017.
Greatest comeback story in sports! Congrats @TigerWoods Let me hold one of those 5 jackets one time!

Greatest comeback story in sports! Congrats @TigerWoods Let me hold one of those 5 jackets one time!
"We never thought he'd play again," Kerr said. "It's kind of fun for us to watch other athletes in other sports and watch their determination and their adversity.
"Those are great lessons. We look at a lot of that stuff with our team. We've got tons of sports fans and it's just fun. It's fun to see other athletes do their thing."
Warriors star Stephen Curry congratulated Woods on Twitter after his success at Augusta.
Golden State forward Kevon Looney told reporters he thought Curry "almost cried" following Woods' final round.
The Warriors finished the regular season with a 57-25 record and earned the top seed in the Western Conference playoffs. They topped the Los Angeles Clippers 121-104 in game one of their opening-round series on Saturday.

Mommy Makeover Surgery Recovery
Have just gone through a mommy makeover?
Are you more worried about the recovery after the mommy makeover?
If you have, then we understand the recovery time must be more crucial for you to deal with than the surgeries itself because the end result shows only after the body is completely healed. Since mommy makeover means a lot of different operations, you need to take utmost care of yourself and follow your doctor's advice diligently.
In a typical mommy makeover, your surgeon usually starts with the breast surgery. The breast surgery may be breast lift, or an breast augmentation, or a combination of a breast lift and augmentation. In some cases, it may be a breast reduction. The breast surgery is followed with a tummy tuck and liposuction. In most cases, a woman will require a full tummy tuck due to the degree of laxity of the skin and the abdominal wall. Liposuction is used to achieve a better contour of the waist area.
A Mommy Makeover will require a 23-hour stay and you will need to stay at the recovery center for one night, at least. You may go home the following morning, after your surgeon examines you.
Full recovery from a Mommy Makeover procedure is about six weeks. In general, you should be up and walking the day after surgery, though not at your usual pace. By the end of the first week, you, should be up and walking around the house frequently, but not quite able to drive a car. It will take approximately two weeks before you are comfortable enough to drive a car. All of the sutures and drains will be out by that time. You may return to work after two to three weeks and resume your usual exercise routine at about six weeks. Due to the tummy tuck and the fact that you had multiple procedures done at one time, the recovery period is significant and can be fairly intense the first few days.
Most of your recovery is completed in approximately three weeks. After that time, you will be up and around as usual, ready to work and drive a car. At approximately six weeks, you will be fully recovered and can resume your usual exercise regimen.

This course introduces and develops methods for designing and implementing abstract data types using the Java programming language. The main focus is on how to build and encapsulate data objects and their associated operations. Specific topics include linked structures, recursive structures and algorithms, binary trees, balanced trees, graphs, and hash tables. These topics are fundamental to programming and are essential to other courses in computer science. There will be weekly projects, iClicker questions in class, and assignments in lab sections consisting of programming and written exercises. There will also be several exams.
Prerequisites: COMPSCI 121 (or equivalent Java experience); basic math skills (R1). The prerequisites for 187 require a grade of B or better in 121; or a grade of C or better in 186. 4 credits.
You should consult the UMass academic calendar to make sure you are aware of important dates and events. The following are the weekly topics that will be covered during this course. Be aware that the schedule is subject to change during the semester at the instructor's discretion.
The topic of each lecture is listed below. Lecture slides are all posted in Piazza. Below we also include lab and project schedules – labs are listed with the Tuesday lectures, and projects are listed with Thursday lectures. But keep in mind that labs all happen on Mondays, and projects are all due on Fridays. There is no project due in a week when there is a midterm or final, or during Thanksgiving recess.

Note: make-up exam or taking the exam with disability services must be requested and approved one week before the exam. We cannot accommodate your requests if they are received less than a week before the exam. If you fall ill on the day of the exam (but before the exam starts) and have to request a make-up exam, you must provide an official doctor's note so that we can contact the doctor for verification. We cannot accommodate any make-up request after the exam.
Clicker is absolutely required for this course. It is required from the first day of class.
There is no required text book for the course. If you like having a text, below are some recommendations:
You will be graded on your ability to program and your understanding of data structures.
You are responsible monitoring your grades. Grades will be available through Moodle and you should check them regularly and review any provided feedback. If you encounter any issues with your grades, you will have 1 week past the return of your grades to contact the course staff so we can investigate. We will not accept questions about individual grades beyond one week, so you must be prompt.
Each assessment component is worth a fixed number of points. At any point during the course you can easily calculate your current grade by the number of points you have achieved with respect to the total number of points you can attain in the course. You should read the course policies to understand lateness.
There is no opportunity for extra credit in this course. Please do not ask!
This course will use a number of web-based services. We will create accounts for you, but it is your responsibility to log in and check that everything has been set up correctly.
Piazza is a online course management system. It will be used as the main hub for communication in this course. All questions and answers should also be posted in Piazza. You will be responsible for visiting Piazza frequently to see updates, or subscribe to email notifications. Please check Piazza features to get an understanding of how to use it.
Piazza is a great tool but it can be abused. Please follow these guidelines in your use of Piazza:
You should use Piazza to ask technical questions and get advice on projects. But you may not post project code or solutions to Piazza, either in questions or answers to others' questions.
If your post must contain code, you should make it a private post in Piazza, which is only visible to the instructors and TAs.
Your question may already have been asked by someone. Before posting, make use of the search feature to see if your questions has already been answered. You should only post after thinking through the problem and clearly articulating your question.
You are encouraged to help other students with answering questions.
The course staff (instructors and TAs) will monitor Piazza and answer your questions in a timely manner. If a question has already been answered in a previous post we may not respond to you right away (hence it's important to learn to use the 'search' feature).
If a question does not follow the guidelines above we may not answer it. If we find that a private question is relevant to a larger audience, we may make it anonymous and post it publicly to help others in the course.
We will only use Moodle for returning grades and feedback to you. The course materials (e.g. syllabus, schedule, lecture slides, projects) will be available on this webpage and Piazza, and will not appear in Moodle.
You should have had an account automatically created for you at the beginning of the course. If you are unable to log in to Moodle you should contact the instructor. Grades will be available through the Moodle gradebook. You should orient yourself with how to find it and stay on top of your grades to resolve any grading issues in a timely manner.
We will be using the Eclipse Development Environment for completing programming projects. You are required to use Eclipse for programming. Specifically, all programming projects are distributed as Eclipse projects and you will need to become acquainted with how to import and export projects. This will be covered during the first week of class.
The projects are compatible with Eclipse Photon. Other versions of Eclipse may or may not work correctly.
We will use Gradescope for grading your programming projects, unit exams, midterm, final exam, and lab section assignments. Gradescope allows us to provide fast and accurate feedback on your work. You should have an account within a few days of signing up for the course. Gradescope will email you with your account details. If you do not, please contact the instructors immediately.
Projects are graded automatically using Gradescope autograder. Before the deadline you can submit as many times as you need. The autograder will provide you with some limited feedback on your submissions: does it compile, does it pass the public and private tests, what your score is, etc. It will not tell you which private tests it has run, nor should it. It is your responsibility to thoroughly test and debug your programs before submission. Purely relying on Gradescope feedback is not an efficient way to solve problems.
Unit exams, midterm and final exam papers are also graded in Gradescope, but they are scanned, digitized and manually graded by instructors and TAs. This allows us to parallelize the grading tasks and use a standard rubric for grading fairness. This also frees us all from handing back hundreds of exam papers in class!
Lab section assignments are also submitted to and graded in Gradescope.
Late submissions for any assessment component will not be accepted, with the one exception noted below. It is your responsibility for maintaining your own schedule and being prompt with your submissions. We expect that you become familiar with the course submission software and verify that your submission has been properly uploaded. We will not accept late submissions due to lack of checking on this. We assume:
To ensure that you submit projects on time you should begin them early and not wait until the last minute to submit. You will be able to submit multiple times so submit early and often to ensure you have something in before the deadline.
We will drop your lowest project grade to cope with extreme circumstances that are truly beyond your control that have prevented you from submitting on time. If this is a continuing matter that requires more than one project to be late, we will recommend that you withdraw from the course.
It is very important in all courses that you be honest in all the work that you complete. In this course you must complete all projects, exams, etc. on your own unless otherwise specified. If you do not you are doing a disservice to yourself, the instructors for the course, the College of Information and Computer Sciences, the University of Massachusetts, and your future. We design our courses to provide you the necessary understanding and skill that will make you an excellent computer scientist. Projects and exams are designed to test your knowledge and understanding of the material. Plagiarism and academic dishonesty of any kind may seem like an easy way to solve an immediate problem, however, it can have a substantial negative impact on your career as a computer science student. There are many computing jobs out there and many more people working hard to get those positions. If you do not know your stuff you will have a very difficult time finding a job. Please take this seriously.
Specifics for this course:
Projects in this course are individual, or pair-programming. Discussing the projects with your peers is allowed, but you must write every line of code on your own and implement solutions on your own. Copying from other students, either digitally or manually, is strictly prohibited.
While we support learning from your peers, the rule of thumb is that any learning should be in your head. Therefore you should not leave an encounter with another student (in person or electronic) with anything written down (or electronically recorded) that you did not have before. Thus, giving or receiving electronic files is specifically considered cheating.
Use of materials from previous offerings of this course, no matter the source, and even if you are re-taking the course, is prohibited.
If you plan to use version control software, such as Github, to manage your projects, you must make your repositories are private and not publicly available.
We will employ various means, electronic and otherwise, to check for compliance with these course policies. We will pursue sanctions vigorously and the usual sanction we will pursue is an immediate F in the course.
Resources available to you:
The instructor and teaching assistant(s) are eager to help you learn and to work through any difficulty. Please contact your instructor if you are struggling to complete projects. We strive for ready accessibility by email and online discussion forums, and will make a strong effort to meet you in person.
The Learning Resource Center on the 10th floor of the main library offers support for this course with trained tutors for free, available on a wide schedule. They can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com and 1-413-545-5334.
The Office of the Registrar publishes Academic Regulations yearly. You should be familiar with them. Particularly relevant are the policies on attendance, absences due to religious observance, and examinations.

There's only one thing more depressing than watching the second half of the Rose Bowl–looking at the views of Americans. An Associated Press-AOL Poll shows that 25% of Americans expect the second coming to occur during 2007. That sure explains why they would vote for George Bush despite how much damage he has caused to this country. Harming our national security, ignoring global warming, running up the deficit, and undermining our system of government don't really matter that much if we you don't believe you are going to be on this earth much longer.
The rest of the country isn't that optimistic either as 60% believe we will be the victim of a terrorist attack, or that a nuclear or biological weapon will be unleashed somewhere in the world in 2007. Despite these findings, another report on an AP-AOL poll shows that Americans are optimistic. I suspect it comes down to which questions are asked and which answers are stressed in the report.

Results of Certain Studies on the Stomach in Schistosomiasis Japonica 1
Until the opportunity to study American soldiers with Schistosoma japonicum infections presented itself during World War II, there was little doubt or inquiry into the generally accepted belief that the mature Schistosoma japonicum largely inhabit the radicles of the superior mesenteric vein, draining the small intestine. This concept was based on the careful and critical animal experimentations of Faust and Meleney (1), and the assumption that the worms choose similar sites in the human host was propagated because of the lack of accessible reports to the contrary on human autopsy material.
Although postmortem studies on soldiers infected in the southwest Pacific have not yet been published, some investigations have been reported which shed light on the probable distribution of adult S. japonicum in the human lower splanchnic area, and which have necessitated some revision of previous ideas on the subject.

The practice of keeping a (public or private) log on the Web gave us the term "blog" and "blogging." Once considered a pretentious and indulgent luxury, most people on the Web either have an active blog or 1 or more blogs they've started and abandoned.
January is always a heavy month for new blog posts, but most bloggers, like me, lose steam quickly. At the very least, I will be blogging, at a minimum, the title of every book I read in 2013, and when time permits, I'll give a review. I'll also rate these books, using the following criteria:
10 – Any book that suggests itself for likely inclusion in my year-end best books posting. I'll make 2 lists: One that only includes books I've completed or read significant parts of. Frankly, if I like a book, though, I'll finish it; and a second list that includes books I've not read but that have gleaned substantial praise from respected critics or readers, including you, and that I can endorse from that second-hand perspective.
9 – A well done book that was fun for me to read and that I will recommend to select customers, but that I couldn't honestly elevate to the status of a great book. For example, Tim Dorsey's best work will usually garner a 9 from me. If you see me give a genre thriller a 9, you probably will want to read it, provided that genre is one you enjoy. And even the least of John Grisham's legal thrillers will earn an …
8 – A fine book worth spending your money on, especially if the topic or genre is one you have an interest in.
7 – There won't be many books I'll read that won't earn at least a 7 from me. I have access to a lot of advance material and can choose wisely. My time, especially when it is time spent on your behalf evaluating books, is too limited to read something I don't think will at least be a 7 on this scale.
4 through 6 – A mistake has been made on my part if I read and rate these books. I'm just not going to read Alexander McCall Smith and I probably won't be reading Jodi Picoult. So I won't rate and review them. I will, however share with you what others are saying about them simply because it is news that is useful to you. And I know that many of you would naturally have either of those authors rated more highly. I invite you to submit your reviews, even in the form of a brief paragraph. We'll attribute it to you by name or by your alias, if you choose.
1 through 3 – Warning you away from these books. Examples? I could probably give you Fifty Shades of examples.
A word to the wise: Because of my job, I have access to many books well before they are available to you. Why? First because the publisher or author is eager to have me buy and promote that book. Second, because they hope that I will review/blog about it and develop a loyal and viral following. So, enjoy these blog posts while planning your future reading. I'll always give you the expected release date.
Book #1 of 2013
Title: Lexicon: A Novel
Author: Max Barry Publisher: Penguin Press Release date: June 18, 2013
Barry's editors are with the flagship imprint of Penguin Group USA, which has been in the news regarding a proposed merger with Random House. I'm not convinced that's a good thing, but I do know that Penguin Press only releases a few titles each season and Max Barry's book is one of them.
My history with Barry extends only back to 2010's Machine Man, but that was such a wild ride that I quickly snatched this new one out of the advance reader box. I'm glad I did.
Lexicon plays to all my pleasure points. Through the ages, some individuals have held sway over the opinions and actions of thousands and even millions. How do they do it? What natural advantages do they have that others do not? How do they develop those skills.
At school, of course. The tony school just outside Washington, D.C. called "The Academy" winnows the best candidates in order to train them to be "Poets." Poets have, to put it mildly, a way with words. Graduates assume the names of dead poets, but their society is far less transparent than you would think. Tom (T.S.) Eliot is a "top gun," especially when it comes to recruiting new adherents. Charlotte Brontè manages the Academy. But Emily Ruff is like no other student before her. Rebellious, inquisitive, and romantic, Emily doesn't quite fit into the plans the Poets have for her.
When she is kicked out of school for her part in one of the more shocking literary tragedies you'll ever read, she is exiled to the remotest part of the continent of Australia in hopes that she can develop the discipline to return and graduate. But Emily has other plans. Until she runs into a man immune to persuasion.
The plot is not linear. Emily's story is told in flashback, while the main narrative races from deadly conflict to apocalyptic climax.
The book is both literate and fast-paced, but it is the humaneness of its characters that will cause it to lodge in your cranium for a long, long time.
Rating: 9, with a chance of a year-end upgrade
UPCOMING AUTHOR EVENT: We're just thrilled to be hosting author Frank Bill on the occasion of his first novel for Farrar, Strauss & Giroux. It's Donnybrook, and it takes place just a few miles from here. I've nominated it for the Indie Next List, though I'll bet I'm not the only independent bookseller who was rocked by this book. I'll share more on this book later, and although I read it last year, it comes out in March. Frank Bill will be doing a reading, book talk, and signing here at the store on Saturday, April 16, at 2 p.m. Put this on your calendar now. Bill is a major new talent and he's from this area. I'm betting we'll all be talking proudly about how we've met him and he's one of ours. If interest builds like I think it will, we may have to make this a ticketed event. Frank previously authored Crimes in Southern Indiana for FSG, and we'll have that book here, too, or you can read it now. We always have it in stock.

ALBUM REVIEW: Escapethecult 'All You Need To'
I have a problem with the term "progressive metal." It is a genre that is often lost on me, because the bands that get thrown beneath the label are bizarre and obscure bands that don't understand that certain sounds do not go together. For instance, a flute, death-core breakdowns, obscure shouting and rapid bursts of synth tones do not go well together. All my (bad) experiences with progressive metal have led me to severely dislike the genre with perhaps the exception of bands like A Perfect Circle and Uneven Structure….Read More

Every place I've ever lived has been designed for that "average American family," with lots of bedrooms, living room, dining room, family room, etc. The problem was that I was a single person, not an average family. I needed space, but for hobbies, not people. And because I'm over 6'2", bending over to use sinks designed for children was a constant frustration. Over the years, I collected a list of things I would change if I could have my dream house. As I approached retirement, I realized time was running out for that house; it was now or never.
Dreams are not always perfect, however. I could never afford my dream house, a spacious Southern California home overlooking the Pacific Ocean. But I could afford a modest ranch house, with a 20-mile drive to the beach. It was a very long way from perfect, but it had potential.
This blog documents the process of turning that small average house into something that matches my lifestyle. It will be as close to my dream house as I can make it. I'm doing all the work myself to stretch my resources. By not hiring contractors, I can afford high quality materials, and I'll know the job is always done right. The remodeling will be my primary avocation for a few years, even as I try to fit in my writing and other hobbies.
It promises to be an interesting journey, and a challenging one!

Hall Bamboo Floor — Part 1
Another incentive to go slow was a further complication from my cataract eye surgery a couple of years ago. My right eye vision has become blurry due to "posterior capsule opacification." Or, the back of the membrane supporting my replacement lens has thickened and become cloudy — it's a complication that close to half of cataract surgery patients experience. I go in for the minor laser surgical procedure to correct it on Monday, but while waiting for an appointment to confirm that diagnosis, I was somewhat distracted. Sigh.
Anyway, the hall is three feet wide and thirty-six feet long. Unlike the tile I removed elsewhere in the house, that was put down over vinyl sheet flooring (and therefore popped right off), this tile was mortared directly onto the concrete slab. It resisted.
I started at the foyer end, intending to work straight through to the garage end, but the spray of tiny tile and mortar bits, plus lots of dust, covered the foyer, living room and kitchen, so I abandoned that and jumped down further along the hall to a point where there were walls on both sides.
Here's a photo showing where I started, and I put a piece of bamboo next to the foyer tile:
I took the photo after building a plastic-covered frame intended to confine the masonry bits as much as possible. Here's a view down the hall, showing where I resumed ripping the tile up (and happily, the tile down there came up easier, often in big pieces).
I turned on the air-handler fan in the laundry room so it would tend to suck the dust down the hall and into a filter. The system instructions warned against running the air handler while there was construction going on because the cement dust is corrosive and would damage the heat exchanger and also the metal electrostatic elements in the air cleaner. I therefore placed a regular pleated paper filter temporarily over the air handler intake to catch the objectionable dust.
All went relatively smoothly until I neared the far end of the hall, and encountered tile that would not come off in big pieces, and barely in very small pieces. As I blasted tile and mortar off a small section, I was reminded that I had made it to the part of the house that was originally the back half of the garage. The new slab they poured to raise that part of the garage floor was not quite level with the house slab. When I did the new laundry room, I had to pour floor leveler to raise the level even with the house side. But out in the hall, the underlying concrete is rough, uneven. In some places it is higher than the rest of the hall and close by it is lower. When they put down the old tile, they compensated by making the mortar thinner or thicker. Can't do that with the bamboo.
Nasty! I'll either have to grind down the concrete (huge clouds of thick dust), or chip away at the slab with my jack hammer (ugh!). And then make everything level with some sort of thin mortar. So I made the command decision to ignore it and go back to ripping up the tile near the kitchen and living room that I had passed over. That's when I built the plastic covered frame to contain the debris and dust. (And that's where I am now.)
Going forward, I think I'll get the floor prepared for the first thirty feet or so and put down the bamboo that far, then move the plastic tent over the difficult last section and mount a new attack. Last night, when my 8-month-old puppy decided to chew my jack hammer cord in two, I decided this project should be broken into two blog posts. (Fortunately the cord wasn't plugged in when he sunk his teeth into it!)
Part 2 may end up being delayed until after the water bed frame is done. Or it may end up becoming a three-parter. Never can tell about these things.

The Stucco Goes Up
Anyway, the rain has kept the plastic over the wall where the chimney was, so I've been doing design work, and no stucco, but the rain ended and since then we've had our usual sunny mild weather. So back to the physical stuff.
First, there was the matter of the gaping hole where the fireplace foundation had been. I filled that with five bags of hand-mixed concrete.
Then I started on the prep work needed before the stucco could go up:
1) cut off the metal flashing that was around the chimney, using a metal cutting disc on my 4.5" angle grinder,
2) ground a bevel on the old stucco that surrounded the chimney, so the new stucco could bond and blend in with the old (I again used my angle grinder, but with a diamond masonry grinding wheel),
3) applied two layers of roofing felt over the plywood,
4) fastened a metal channel to the bottom of the wall, to define the bottom of the stucco and enable drainage of any water that happened to get behind the stucco, and
5) applied two layers of wire mesh to hold the stucco to the wall (using furring nails and staples).
Looked like this:
Here's a photo of the scratch (first) coat of stucco, and there's a section that has the second coat on. They call it the scratch coat because it's "scratched" to enhance the physical bond with the second coat. There is a special tool to create rectangular grooves in the wet stucco (wait too long and you get pretty much no depression at all).
And here's the photo of the stucco up (still wet), with my signature "rustic" texture. Typically, a third thin, colored finish coat would go on next, but I opt instead to apply two coats of a special elastomeric (flexible) stucco paint that bridges any cracks that may develop, and provides enhanced waterproofing. It makes getting a uniform color easy, especially since the stucco has been going on piecemeal over a period of years. That special paint can't go on until the stucco has cured for at least 30 days.
I was going to build the waterbed base next, but the bamboo flooring for the hallway is stored in the bedroom, so I may tear up the ceramic tile off the hall floor, and put the bamboo down next. But that's a very dusty proposition. We shall see.

Election leaves undocumented students in limbo
The next president could end temporary protections for undocumented college students.
The outcome of next week's presidential election could have swift consequences for one group of people: undocumented immigrants. In 2012, President Obama used executive action to protect some undocumented young people from the threat of deportation. Four years later, 741,546 young people who came to the U.S. as children have been approved for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Depending on who is elected next week, that temporary protection could disappear.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump promised he'd do away with DACA on Day 1 of his administration: "Cancel unconstitutional executive orders and enforce all immigration laws," Trump said in Phoenix in August.
Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton said she would do everything in her power to protect Obama's executive actions and would introduce comprehensive immigration reform with a path to citizenship within her first 100 days in office.
"I will make this a big political issue," Clinton said on MSNBC in February, "because we need to keep those young people working, going to school, being productive members of our society."
Estefania Navarro, 22, came to the United States at age 3 and had to hide in plain sight from the beginning. "My mom told me that if anybody asked about my status I'm just -- I'm a U.S. citizen," she said. "So I guess after saying it so many times you actually start believing it."
Navarro worked hard and graduated from her Minneapolis public high school with honors. But when it came time to apply to college, her undocumented status was a major road block. Her guidance counselor didn't offer much hope.
"And she said, 'Well you have good grades but they're not excellent grades. You're not going to get full ride scholarships and you could take loans but then you need a Social Security [number] to take out loans.' That conversation just was my wakeup call. That is, 'Estefania, you don't belong here.'"
Now, protected by Obama's order, she's working on her second associate's degree and mentoring 45 undocumented students at Minneapolis Community and Technical College. She feels anguish that her mother still has to live in the shadows.
America is conflicted about what to do with young people like Navarro, and nowhere is that more evident than the presidential campaign.
The uncertainty is top of mind for Navarro. She's picked a course of study that could potentially serve her if she had to go back to Mexico: computer forensics. She reasons that she's started over in a new country before, and she could do it again. But she doesn't want to.
Nearly three quarters of a million young people are in the same boat.
Listen to this week's podcast to hear more from Estefania Navarro and others affected by DACA.
And here's how states approach tuition benefits for undocumented immigrants.

Who'd have thunk it, David Blunkett?! Yesterday, I made my radio debut!
After being tweeted by local BBC Broadcast Assistant, Rob Watson (@Rob_Watson87) last Thursday, we had a quick phonecall where he mentioned that he was aware of my blogging and wanted me to take part in an interview panel with BBC presenter, Ben Jackson (standing in for the usual host, Jonathan Lampon, BBC Leicester's Political Correspondent, Tim Parker, and De Montfort University Lecturer, Alastair Jones, regarding the General Election and, more specifically, the role social media will play in it.
It shouldn't surprise anyone that I was nervous. Although I've trained as a journalist myself, speaking at a live event where people would actually be listening to what I had to say was….daunting to say the least.
What I found (to my surprise) was that, as well as my five year participation in De Montfort's Politics Society meaning I actually had a pretty substantiated opinion and had learnt the skills to be able to articulate it well, I was also completely at ease in-studio (due in part to having been taught by several of Alastair's colleagues during my degree which meant that I was blessed with someone in studio who at least I partially knew).
Therefore something which I had honestly been in two minds about over the weekend, turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding experience which if again offered (and I hope it might) I will no doubt jump at.
If you'd like to hear what I have to say, please click HERE and have a listen (from 9 mins – 35 mins).
*Forgive the pauses for thought. I'm working on that for next time.

Water Based Markers
Water based markers are synonomous with the Crayola markers we all used as children, but there's plenty of other types available. Unlike alcohol based markers which use alcohol for dyes, water based markers use a mixture of water, or a mixture of water and glycerin for dyes. The beauty of these type of markers is the ease with which the ink can be removed from hands and clothes, which is a common occurence if they're being used in a school, or the office...
Unlike some of our other writing supplies, these markers don't dry instantly, so we recommend you allow a moment before touching the ink.

George Whitefield - (December 16, 1714 – September 30, 1770), also known as George Whitfield, was an Anglican itinerant minister who helped spread the Great Awakening in Great Britain and, especially, in the British North American colonies. His ministry had tremendous impact on American society and American Christianity. He was a contemporary of Jonathan Edwards who's preaching undoubtedly led many people to saving faith in Christ. He was a powerful man of God with a commanding presence.
Whitefield was very popular in his time and is considered by many to be the founder of the Evangelical movement. Whitefield preached his first sermon in the Crypt Church in his home town of Gloucester. He had earlier become the leader of the Holy Club at Oxford when the Wesley brothers departed. The best known and the most written about Methodist when he adopted the practice of Hywel Harris of preaching in the open-air at Hanham's Mount, near Kingswood. In 1738, before going to America, where he became parish priest of Savannah, Georgia he invited John Wesley to preach in the open-air for the first time at Kingswood and then Blackheath, London. After a short stay in Georgia he returned home in the following year, resuming his open-air evangelistic activities. Whitefield would draw crowds with tens of thousands of people and speak to them in the open air where many would openly repent and weep over their sins as he preached the Gospel in a very convicting and powerful way.
Click on the audio link above to here about his ministry and the great things that God accomplished through this amazing Gospel preacher. Or see the list on this page, left colunm, http://www.ccel.org/ccel/whitefield/sermons.html to read many of his sermons.

The Times, They Are A-Changin'...
Just had to get that off my chest.
But here's another question. The other day, in the foyer of our local supermarket, there were 2 gentlemen attempting to get people to subscribe to our local paper (one of the big national papers, really). You would have thought they were panhandling, the way people were avoiding eye contact and brushing past them. People wouldn't even accept the free newspaper that was offered. So, do you read a print newspaper anymore? Or am I a dinosaur for having a daily subscription?
19 comments:
The plain truth of the matter is that I'm too cheap to pay for the subscription. Every year at our county fair the newspaper allows us to sign up for a free month and I read that paper religiously for the first week. After that I look at the funnies and classifieds. Then I don't even have time for that anymore and when they call to see if I want to subscribe I tell them I don't read it. Honestly.ReplyDelete
I had a subscription for a while, but I'm ashamed to say, they started piling up on my front porch. Yeah, I'm too lazy to open the door and pick up the paper. I'd rather sit on my @$$ and click away on the computer to find my news.ReplyDelete
I would NOT avoid the poor guys selling them like that, though. That bothers me. The other day a lady tried to give my friend a flyer for Mary Kay, and my friend said "No, I can't, my hands are full." WHAT? Poor lady! It's a piece of paper, for crying out loud (and her hands were OBVIOUSLY not full.)
I feel unspeakably lucky not to have a residual vomit story, though I'm sure my time will come.ReplyDelete
I subscribe to the local weekly paper, but our local daily, the Cape Cod Times, is only fit for birdcage liner and I don't have a bird. So I read some stuff online, and leave it at that. If I had more money and more space for recycling, I might get the NY Times. When my kids are at an age to learn about current events in more detail, I probably will.
I haven't read a newspaper since the advent of the Internet. I read all my news online or off CNN.ReplyDelete
I also think it doesn't help the planet to recycle all that paper. Just my 2.
Nope, I read online. I used to take the Sunday NYT, but when we had to tighten our belts, it had to go.ReplyDelete
I read two newspapers everyday. Our local paper is good, but I read the Times for full coverage. I love the comics, and the book reviews. With two papers I get broad coverage.ReplyDelete
No I don't subscribe to a newspaper anymore. Once in a blue moon I'll grab one for old times sake!
And luckily no pukey stories here! Whew. So far.
Glad I stumbled on your blog - nice job!
Can't afford the subscription at present. A couple of our lawyers buy a daily paper and then leave it in the break room for the rest of us to share. Usually I'm knitting, or visiting with my best friend at work, or both. Two or three times a week I read the funnies and sometimes the business section, the advice columns, the food and fashion sections, and sometimes the metro section.ReplyDelete
All this may change in June, if I move and have an hour each way on the train to and from BigD.
we use to get the paper but it pilled up so fast (even after its read) so now we just read online. I even have about 5 papers or news websights as favs (from other areas or even states) its not that I am a recycler (only to cut down on my own garbage bill) but I just dont like all the trash. It builds up so fast. someone has to carry it out or we may all get lost! hehe take care. love your blog. KelliReplyDelete
We get the Wall Street Journal daily, our town paper every Friday and the Boston Globe on Sundays. I think that is all the paper I can handle.ReplyDelete
Hey, I'm catching up. I once had to clean vomit stuck in the buckles of the car seat, with a toothbrush. Did you know the belts don't come out? Fun times.ReplyDelete
As for the paper, I get the local weekly for the local news and activities going on. I don't bother with the Providence Journal. I can't stand how badly written and edited it is.
Sister, do I have vomit stories!ReplyDelete
And I don't subscribe to a paper (even the lil ole thing with my column in it). I LOVE reading the paper on Sunday but never read it on the weekdays. I always feel guilty about those unread newspapers and save them until I must admit defeat (and chuck them in the fireplace).
As the great Egon Spengler once said:ReplyDelete
"Print is dead
And I don't have many residual vomit stories but ooh boy do I have residual pee and poop stories!
When we moved here last year, for some reason we got a free 1 yr subscription from someone. And not fromour landlord either. That 1 yr subscription included the Baltimore Sun, The Gazette, Laurel Leader, Howard County times (which by the way are basically the same paper with only like 4 different stories in them, the rest are ALL THE SAME) some paper that I dont even know what its called, but its about Prince Georges county, and a Baltimore city newpaper. I dont read the newspaper. I used to read the HoCo TImes when I had time, but there is none. And when I do have time, I dont want to spend it reading the local newspaper. I want to read a trashy novel and dream that my life is like the one in the book, LMAO.ReplyDelete
I just want the nespapers to STOP.
- AnonymousFebruary 17, 2008
Bummer about the newspaper guys. I used to have subscription and then they changed the format...they spend more space on obituaries than on the national news which really left me going to NPR or BBCnews.com for my "real news." So I'm a weekend subscriber with no apologies.ReplyDelete
I am thankful to report that we don't have pukers in my family. That smell is horrid, so you have my condolences.
Well, I have very few brain cells and get less sleep than is desirable (baby!) so I can't remember if I shared a puke story *already* but I will say that a long road trip once taught me the true value of a cartop storage unit -- getting the puke clothes out of the car!! We get the paper every day. I find myself more likely to read different things in the paper paper than I do online if that makes sense. I am thinking about stopping it for enviro reasons tho.ReplyDelete
Paper and a cup of coffee...there's nothing like starting the morning with both. When the paper is late I sit on our front porch steps waiting. I know I could get news from the internet, but I like the ritual of actually reading something on paper. I like sitting at our kitchen table discussing something interesting with my husband, or reading aloud an interesting article. I do everything else on computer...but not the news. But that's just me; I'm kind of old fashioned that way.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 17, 2008
still have a 7 days/week subscription. And am still pissed off that Sundays paper still isn't here, at 6:47 pm.ReplyDelete
At least my online news sources are available.
I can't start the day without my morning paper. I even read it before I go running at 5:30. There's just something about the smell of the newsprint and the crinkle of the paper.ReplyDelete

Luckily, cookies with faces and appendages are still vegan. And they apparently have the added bonus of hallucinatory qualities!
Last week, I came down with the "Welcome to New York, Here's Your Deathly Seasonal Illness." It was charming. And by charming I mean soul-sucking and beastly. I had no appetite for a good five days, and all I could imagine eating were comforting cookies. After day four of being sick, I ventured out to the grocery store and managed enough oomph to bake not one but TWO kinds of cookies. I brought them all in to work (after eating as many as possible) and assured everyone of my adamant hand-washing during the baking process. So here's what I managed:
Dreena Burton's Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookies
(Wheat-Free! – I used spelt flour)
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (see note)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
1⁄4 cup unrefined sugar
1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt
1⁄3 cup pure maple syrup
1⁄4 teaspoon blackstrap molasses
1 – 1 1⁄2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1⁄4 cup canola oil (a little generous)
1⁄3 cup non-dairy chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). In a bowl, sift in the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the sugar and salt, and stir until well combined. In a separate bowl, combine the maple syrup with the molasses and vanilla, then stir in the oil until well combined. Add the wet mixture to the dry, along with the chocolate chips, and stir through until just well combined (do not over-mix). Place large spoonfuls of the batter on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and flatten a little. Bake for 11 minutes, until just golden (if you bake for much longer, they will dry out). Let cool on the sheet for no more than 1 minute (again, to prevent drying), then transfer to a cooling rack.
Note: Unbleached all-purpose flour or spelt flour produces a more classic cookie taste and texture, but you can use whole-wheat pastry flour and still get a delicious cookie. For a wheat-free version, use spelt flour, but add an extra 2-4 tablespoons of the spelt flour to the dry mix (the amount needed varies with brand of spelt flour and whether you are using a refined spelt flour versus a less processed spelt flour).
Note: If, as you are mixing together your batter it appears quite floury and thick, simply mix together a couple of teaspoons more canola and maple syrup and incorporate it into the batter. Sometimes humidity, type of flour used, and other factors can affect the density of the batter and so a touch more liquid may be needed.
Makes 9-12 large to average sized cookies

I'm normally a chocolate chip cookie gal, but I really loved these. They are the perfect autumn cookie. Hands down.
2 cups flour
1 1/3 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 2/3 cups sugar
2/3 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons molasses
1 cup canned pumpkin, or cooked pureed pumpkin
1 teaspoon vanilla
optional: 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
1/2 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 350. Have ready 2 greased baking sheets.
Mix together flour, oats, baking soda, salt and spices.
In a seperate bowl, mix together sugar, oil, molasses, pumpkin and vanilla (and flax seeds if using) until very well combined. Add dry ingredients to wet in 3 batches, folding to combine. Fold in walnuts and raisins.
Drop by tablespoons onto greased cookie sheets. They don't spread very much so they can be placed only an inch apart. Flatten the tops of the cookies with a fork or with your fingers, to press into cookie shape. Bake for 16 minutes at 350. If you are using two sheets of cookies on 2 levels of your oven, rotate the sheets halfway through for even baking. You'll have enough batter for 4 trays.
Remove from oven and get cookies onto a wire rack to cool. These taste best when they've had some time to cool and set. They taste even better the next day!

If you've seen "The Big Lebowski", then you've heard this incredible piece of psychedelic music before. Funny thing is, unlike a lot of the old records from the time, this one still holds up. It's got something special; and sincere; about it which keeps it forever relevant. Hey, we all wonder what we're really made of, and this record explores one man's journey into his inner self. It's not as pretty as it is confusing; and unlike "Lucy in the Sky" by The Beatles, with its gentle surreal imagery; I suppose that many people would find themselves less sure of what they believe after listening to this record.
The song itself was probably the impetus for many young people of the time to "expand their minds" through the use of LSD. The irony in that is rooted in the fact that Mickey Newberry wrote it as a warning against the use of psychedelic drugs. First recorded by Jerry Lee Lewis in 1967, it was this 1968 rendition of the recording by Kenny Rogers, with The First Edition, which will always be remembered.Evidently, it didn't scare many folks; rather; it might have made them a bit more curious about expanding their minds. Just listen to that guitar solo- which is, by the way, none other than Glen Campbell. Talk about versatility! Glen Campbell was, and still is, one of the greatest studio guitarists ever. His skills ranged from songs like this, to writing scores of hits of his own, doing a stint as a Beach Boy while Brian Wilson was stuck at home, and eventually moving on to have his own Sunday night variety show.
Of course, Kenny Rogers would split from The First Edition and achieve fame as a solo artist, with hits such as "The Gambler" and "Coward of the County" being just two of the ones which spring immediately to mind.This is one of those songs which I keep on ipod, flashdrive, and even a disc in the car. Whenever, or wherever it comes on, I'm always pleased with the sound and imagery it conjures up. My favorite part of the lyrics is at the end, when he sings "8 miles out of Memphis and I got no spare, 8 miles straight up, downtown somewhere." It's a dark and foreboding image, one which reeks of danger and irresistible adventure all at once. They just don't make 'em like they used to.

About the Author
MICHAEL ONOFREY was born and raised in Los Angeles. Currently he lives in Japan. Over seventy of his short stories have been published in literary journals and magazines, in print and online, in such places as Cottonwood, The Evansville Review, Natural Bridge, Snowy Egret, Terrain.org, Weber--The Contemporary West, and The William and Mary Review. Among anthologized work, his stories have appeared in Creativity & Constraint (Wising Up Press, 2014), In New Light (Northern Initiative for Social Action, 2013), Road to Nowhere and Other New Stories from the Southwest (University of New Mexico Press, 2013), and Imagination & Place: An Anthology (Imagination & Place Press, 2009). He can be found online at Directory of Writers, Poets and Writers, and on Facebook.
After three decades of an over-extended youth abroad, fifty-six-year-old Wade Ricky returns home to the Los Angeles suburbs to care for his dying mother and come to terms with his memories of an awkwardly sensual affair with Herta, a German woman he meets while biking across India; a two-year stint in Peshawar as an assistant to a blind British expat; and a cheerfully surreal world of drugs and sexual voyeurism in which Wade is continually a complicit outsider. As months turn into years, Wade finds companionship with a landscape painter grieving for her son killed in Iraq and slowly rebuilds his life in America--even as he begins to understand, finally, why he must be alone.
In pared-down, richly evocative prose that captures the hidden complexities of social and geopolitical relations, Michael Onofrey's debut novel is a loving, even joyful meditation about the transience of human connection and the experience of solitude.
Advance Acclaim for Bewilderment
"Michael Onofrey explores the geographies of both land and mind in his new novel Bewilderment. The protagonist is propelled by a visceral mixture of curiosity and confusion that, ultimately, forces him to confront his longing to connect. Bewilderment is an accomplished and witty novel that examines the line drawn between individual perception and the larger reality, then provides its reader permission to blur the line in order to take it all in."
- Jen Knox, author of After the Gazebo
"Michael Onofrey has crafted a daring and adventurous story about life's choices, those we make and those made for us. Whatever the case, we all at some point face a moment of bewilderment, a moment when time stops and the events of our life dissolve and slip away like paint on a canvas left in the rain. An engaging story...and a remarkable experience of bewilderment."
- Christine Cote, Still Point Art Gallery and Shanti Arts Publishing

NNIT announces partnership with Dell Boomi
Press release • Jun 21, 2017 09:03 CEST
NNIT, a leading provider of IT services and consultancy strengthens its position in cloud system integration in Denmark by entering into a new partnership with Dell Boomi.
The partnership with Dell Boomi means that NNIT expands its portfolio of services to also include iPaaS; a tool for system integration in the cloud.
As more and more organizations move parts of their system portfolio from own data centers to data centers and services in the cloud, the need for solutions and consultancy on how to integrate the systems in the cloud increases.
iPaaS (Integration-Platform-As-A-Service) is an integration tool, developed in the cloud and used to integrate cloud-based products with other cloud products and integrate software in local data centers. The systems contain many standard integrations why the integration only requires a minimum of changes to be connected in the cloud.
Boomi is unique, since development and monitoring is done in the cloud, whereas execution and data storage can be placed either in a physical data center behind one's own firewall or in the cloud via for example Microsoft Azure Cloud.
"Dell Boomi's development of new functionality ensures them a leading position, and their products are among the best in the market. This partnership therefore comes natural to NNIT," says Mikkel Iversen, Director of Integration & Development in NNIT.
"Our experienced integration consultants will be certified in iPaaS from Dell Boomi, and be ready to implement," he explains.
"We look forward to a productive partnership that will further strengthen NNIT's position in IT services and consultancy on cloud system integration," says Nordic Manager Thomas Østergaard-Geisler, Dell Boomi. "With Dell Boomi's cloud-based integration platform, NNIT's clients will be able to solve even their most complex integration challenges and experience the advantages of the cloud."
NNIT already provides development, maintenance and advisory services on integration products from SAP, Microsoft, EPIC and Informatica.

My message for you today is: Be Lazy.
And with that, I don't mean do nothing for the rest of your life, but it's okay to recharge, take a few days to recoup and reflect.
I really just want to challenge the assumption that the more rest you take the lazier you are.
Don't know if you have noticed, but I think that the people who are well rested have far better well-being than the general people I come across.
I used to think that grinding and working all the time was the key to success.
But in the end that just led to being stressed, not getting enough sleep and just killing my productivity altogether.
Of course, there is work to be done, but you just have to find smart and effective ways to work.
By far the best example is starting a business. Your chances of building wealth are incomparably higher because your earning potential is not limited by anything.
You can multiply yourself by automating your business, outsourcing, hiring employees, or leveraging platforms like Facebook and Youtube.
If you want long-term happiness in your life, you have to find ways to automate and systemize your work.
Avoid hard work as much as possible.
Because in a way, the lazier you are, you become more effective.
You find ways to do more with less time.
Be Bold, Take Action & Make it Happen,
X Nicole

The holidays are a magical time of decor, spending time with loved ones, hosting fabulous affairs, attending lavish parties, donning elegant holiday attire and of course devouring delicious home cooked food. A lot of these things do not come without preparation or planning. So to save time, cost and to get ahead of all the late comers, I prefer to look ahead to the holidays a few months out. I know some of you probably feel the same way, so I put together a list of some of the things you can get a head start on now!
Minted. Between now and October 6th you can enjoy 20% off your holiday order + FREE recipient addressing. Other sites are also offering similar sales like Tiny Prints and Vista Print. Plus, you'll be able to spread out all the handwriting of well wishes you've got to do. Trying to personalize 100 or so Christmas cards in a few days is no easy task!
Make Your List // Start putting together your list of who you plan to give gifts to, send holiday cards or things you need to buy... now. It can take awhile to nail down addresses for people or figure out what they would want. Making your list now will expedite the process later.
Order Custom or Monogrammed Gifts // Hoping to order your mother those monogrammed pajamas she's been wanting, or frame one of your dad's favorite sports memorabilia posters? Things like this can take time... weeks, sometimes a month or more. Waiting till the last minute can leave you stressed or paying out the wazoo to get something rush ordered.
Make Reservations // Are you in charge of your office Christmas party? Throwing a Favorite Things gathering for you and your closest friends? Then make your reservations at your favorite spot now. Some restaurants even offer incentives for booking early, like complimentary welcome cocktails for guests or a percentage off the booking fee.
Send Save-the-Dates // These aren't just for weddings! When it comes to holiday parties, they are definitely not few or far between. Last year alone I received 20+ invitations to various holiday events. I couldn't attend all of them so I went based off when I received the invite. Plus, people always love something to look forward to. Let guests know an invite is coming their way!
**Extra Tip: Plan your party for the beginning of the month. Most events tend to happen the week/week and a half leading up to Christmas or New Years. By having yours the first or second week of December, you'll have a greater chance for the best possible turnout.
Book Travel Now // It can be hard to nail down your holiday travel between work and all the lavish parties, but if you already know you're going home for the holidays look into purchasing your flight now. Book hotels too... 99.9% of the time you can cancel the day before. Booking now ensures you get the best flight/hotel option possible, helps you avoid high prices as the time gets closer and ensures that you have a seat/hotel room.
Hopefully this list helps you get ahead of the game and spread all that holiday cheer the best way possible. Now back to the regularly scheduled programming of pumpkin carving, PSLs and endless Instagrams of this amazing season.
P.S. Today is the LAST full day to enter the First Impressions / Lionesse Beauty Bar giveaway. Who doesn't want a brand new, professional grade hair straightener?! Giveaway ends at noon 10/3!

genii loci
genii loci
Derived from a Roman word, Genii Loci refers to the protective spirit of a place and the name of an exhibition by Rush Pleansuk, an artist who translates and transforms the Asian tradition and Thai belief that spirits are believed to be protectors of the living into contemporary creation. The construction and identification of a certain object as a place where the 'spirit' resides is deeply rooted within the culture and has been passed on to the present time through Pleansuk's intricately interwoven art of furniture design where the abstract is made tangible.
Pleansuk began the creation process for this collection by searching for objects and materials that had been imprinted with memories, a task in which he draws upon all his artistic assets to make the spirit of the object tangible. Bits and pieces of objects and memories are arranged together as art objects capable of communicating and articulating stories of the past. The results of Pleansuk's artistic interpretations offer a unique response reflective of the sense of the raw materials.
The content of Genii Loci, which raises issues involving the 'circle of life,' is divided into three main sections. 'Body' depicts the temporariness of the human body through the use of concrete and wooden fragments of old houses. Smoked Rosewood is used to interpret 'Sense,' symbolizing the ultimate truth of life similar to a joss stick burning from wood into smoke, floating, lingering and fading away while the texture of the wooden house is no different from the physicality of the human body, deteriorating over time. 'Memory' is the last part, consisting of Memory No.1, Memory No.2 and Memory No.3, a collection where old furniture is used as the foundation for different compositions to be built upon, taking the 'House of Spirit' to its physical and spiritual completion. Family stories passed on from generation to generation, received and retold and mementos of memories such as photographs and personal belongings of ancestors may be placed inside as a means of bringing the past closer and allowing for memories to become accessible once again.
People in modern day society have seemingly abandoned their roots completely and lie asleep under the illusionary dream of materialism; perhaps this silent conversation initiated by the "Genii Loci" might succeed in rebuilding the bond that, at one time, bridged what seem today distant gaps and linked individuals and their ancestors together across time.

How Bizarre (+Facebook)
A little while back I mentioned working on a promo for the Travel Channel. Now you can not only see all of the ads that are currently airing on TV as well as on TravelChannel.com and to my surprise they're also all on Facebook. Now, not only can you see all of the spots that the crew worked their asses of to film in 2 very long days – you can also watch some of the behind the scenes clips and have a look at what it was like being surrounded by some gnarly "food" and be amazed at the amount of detail work and detail that goes into making a commercial that looks as ordinary as a day at the office.
Also, speaking of Facebook, I recently created a profile to see what the hype is all about. If you have a profile over there, go 'head, add me up. Don't be shy. Let's make it happ'n, Cap'n!

Mounteney, Richard (DNB00)
MOUNTENEY or MOUNTNEY, RICHARD (1707–1768), Irish judge and classical scholar, son of Richard Mounteney, an officer in the customs house, by Maria, daughter of John Carey, esq., was born at Putney, Surrey, in 1707, and educated at Eton School. He was elected in 1725 to King's College, Cambridge, proved himself a good classical scholar, and became a fellow. He graduated B.A. in 1729, and M.A. in 1735 (Graduati Cantabr. 1823, p. 333). Among his intimate friends at the university were Sneyd Davies [q. v.] and Sir Edward Walpole. He was called to the bar at the Inner Temple, and by the influence of Sir Robert Walpole, to whom he had dedicated his edition of some of the orations of Demosthenes, he was appointed in 1737 one of the barons of the exchequer in Ireland. He was one of the judges who presided at the famous trial between James Annesley [q. v.] and Richard, earl of Anglesey, in 1743, and 'made a most respectable figure.' He died on 3 March 1768 at Belturbet, co. Cavan, while on circuit.
His first wife Margaret was buried at Donnybrook, near Dublin, on 8 April 1756, and his second marriage with the Dowager-countess of Mount Alexander (i.e. Manoah, widow of Thomas Montgomery, fifth earl and daughter of one Delacherois of Lisburn) was announced in Sleater's 'Public Gazetteer' on 6 Oct. 1759.
His works are: 1. 'Demosthenis selectæ Orationes (Philippica I) et tres Olynthiacæ orationes. Ad codices MSS. recensuit, textum, scholiasten, et versionem plurimis in locis castigavit, notis insuper illustravit Ricardus Mounteney,' Cambridge (University Press), 1731, 8vo; 2nd edit. London, 1748, 8vo; 3rd edit. Eton, 1755, 8vo (very incorrectly printed); other editions, London and Eton, 1764 and 1771, London, 1778, 1785, 1791, 1806, 1811, 1826, 1827. With reference to the second edition there appeared 'Baron Mountenay's celebrated Dedication of the select Orations of Demosthenes to the late Sir Robert Walpole, Bart. of Ministerial Memory, done into plain English, and illustrated with Notes and Comments, and dedicated to Trinity College, Dublin. By Æschines the third,' Dublin printed, London reprinted 1748, 8vo. 2. 'Observations on the probable Issue of the Congress' [i.e. of Aix-la-Chapelle], London, 1748, 8vo.
A fine portrait of Mounteney by Hogarth was in 1864 in the possession of the Rev. John Mounteney Jephson, who was maternally descended from him.

I find it best to start with magic as it lets you take out enemies at a distance. Then trick the Black Knight in Undead Burg off a cliff, farm using the Wyvern on the bridge, upgrade your strength and the Black Knight's sword. You'll be able to mow through most enemies and most of the early bosses then.I have started to play Dark Souls remastered and Holy Gwyn this game is hard, far harder than Dark Souls 3 (which I have finished, DLCs included) ! I am now enjoying the new DLC of Destiny 2, which is a game far more easier than Dark Souls ...
As for Sekiro: I finally killed the General atop Ashina Castle and the Great Serpent, making good progess. At the Mibu Village windmill.
