It's that time of the year again!!! Counting down to 2017 (and INTO 2017) I'll be featuring our TOP 2016 absolute reader favorites each week! 😀 And today, Fabi kicks it off!!!
1.) Wolfsong by T.J. Klune (M/M PNR) <— I am literally stunned speechless at the brilliance of this book. "…it's all candy canes and pinecones and epic and awesome." I've read many shifter romances. (too many?) But I've never read one as brilliant as TJ Klune's Wolfsong. This one isn't only for PNR lovers, this one is for EVERYONE. If you've never read a shifter romance, let this one be your introduction to the genre. If you've read too many to count, read this one because I promise you've never read another like it.
2.) Fighting Silence (On The Ropes Book 1) by Aly Martinez (F/M CR Fighter Theme) <— Once I started reading this one my world pretty much stopped. I was glued to it. I couldn't break away until I finished the last page. The only break I took was to buy the 2nd book. My heart still flip-flops when I think about it.
3.) The Last Hour of Gann by R. Lee Smith (F/M Sci-Fi Romance) <— When I finished, I looked up, around, and wasn't really sure I wanted to be back in real life. This story took me so far away, and captured me so completely, that I'm still trying to shake off the weird feeling that it was real.
4.) Drawn In by Barbara Elsborg (M/M darkish) <— Destroyed – That's how I feel after reading this book. It's dark, it's emotional, and it never lets up. An mm romantic suspense thriller that will grab your heart strings from the very beginning and not let up until the very end. This book will have you gasping when not outright crying.
5.) Beyond the Sea: LGBT Romance by Keira Andrews (M/M CR shipwrecked) <— TOTAL. BOOK. FOG. I loved it, loved it, loved it! What a perfect love story. I'm still swooning.
so you can bleed like me.
7.) Strong Signal (Cyberlove Book 1) by Megan Erickson and Santino Hassell (M/M CR gaming and military) <— I loved it. I knew I would love it, and I loved it. I've never read anything by Santino Hassel I haven't loved. I was not familiar with Megan Erickson's work, but their collaboration was so seamless that I couldn't tell who wrote what, or even that there were two authors, while reading.
8.) Not a Game: A Contemporary Gay Romance Novel by Cardeno C. (M/M CR) <— I'm giving it the full five stars. I can't help myself. Any book that makes me feel this good from beginning to end, then ends up giving me mushy mush tears at the end deserves all my stars. Read this uplifting story when you need to feel good.
9.) To Love Jason Thorn by Ella Maise (F/M CR Hollywood Star) <— Sweet, funny and heartwarming. I devoured this book. It had me from the first page on.
10.) Something Like Summer (Something Like… Book 1) by Jay Bell (M/M Coming of Age) <— It kept me on an emotional roller-coaster through the entire 9.5 hours of narration. Jay Bell put me through the ringer! As I finished listening, I sat there stunned. Equal parts sad and happy.
Don't forget to check out more of Fabi's favorites!
Yay. I love best if lists. I'm impressed you kept it to 10, Fabi.
#3 is the only one I've read, though I have a couple in my tbr.
Fabi! Great list! I've only read 2 and 3 (love that whole Aly Martinez series!). Wolfsong is high on my TBR with all the huge raving about it, especially from you! It would be totally out of the box for me, never read a shifter book and it's M/M, but I am going to do it!
Fabi! Fabulous list….but, but, but, I have so many to add to my TBR now! LOL! Would you believe I have only read one?!? Fighting Silence, which I too, loved! I read the book after the one you read by Ella Maise and liked that one too.
Thank you so much for your list and to Maryse for posting these amazing best of 2016 lists… I just love this time of year!!!
Thanks Fabi. I've only read 1 and 3 but loved them both.
Yeah! Thanks for posting my list Maryse. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone else's.
I know all of you will understand when I say it was a little heartbreaking to cut my favs down to 10. I had to eliminate 14 other ones. 🙁 But these were all great for me so I'm happy.
Jean, I know you read #6 too because I remember you being upset about it. It's definitely an upsetting book.
Oh yeah, I did read Low and loved it! And I just read Poesy a couple days ago and it brought everything back. Loved that one too!
Great list Fabi! Love your m/m recs! Have loved quite a few of your reads.
Thanks Fabi for the list .I have read 2 n it was soo nice….3 is in my tbr list.
I love looking at lists too, thanks Fabi ! To Love Jason Thorn was a fave of mine, major swoon. I also have to bump Fighting Silence & Beyond the Sea up on my TBR.
Wolfsong sounds very intriguing…Maybe someday I'll give that one a try!!
Great list Fabi…thank you for sharing them…I loved Fighting Silence…I encourage you to read the next two in that series they are equally as amazing! I also wanted to check out To Love Jason Thorn…it looks like a sweet romance!
I've only read 2, 3 and 9 so far. Low scares me. Lol too much angst possible.
Therese I've read the entire On the Ropes series. Gobbled it up back to back!
So, three of yours are on my top ten too!!! Gann, Wolfsong and Beyond the Sea. YAY!!!! Now to go check out your other recs.
Fantastic! I love getting ideas on new books (new to me!) to read. So far, have only read Last Hour of Gann (love, love, loved it!) so I have several great choices here. So much FUN!
lol Amy! You know me so well and we haven't even met in person yet.
Fabi – great list! I have definitely add Wolfsong to my TBR list. You sold me in your description!
Great list, Fabi! I haven't read a single one of them! lol But I'm thinking of using Wolfsong for the challenge, and I definitely want to read Low and few of the others very soon!

162. R V Fleming
FLEMING Robert Victor (3228)
29 B KIA 8/5/18
Robert Fleming was born at Brunswick. The information for the (National) Roll of Honour was not completed so there is no information on his early life. When he enlisted he gave his father – Robert Fleming – as his next of kin. At that time, the father's address was given as Blackwarry – the same as for the son – but by the time the will was made (2/6/18), the father's address was Carlton. The father had died by the time of the medal distribution in late 1922 early 1923 and it appears that the mother had predeceased him.
The enlistment forms had Robert living at Blackwarry. Robert Fleming – labourer of Bulga – also appeared on 1915 electoral roll. However this could have been the father as both were Robert Fleming. Robert, the son, was certainly known in the district and played football for Devon. He was a popular player and there is a somewhat cryptic article in the Gippsland Standard and Alberton Shire Representative (12/5/15) about his unsuccessful attempt to get a clearance from Devon to play for North Devon. He also played cricket locally and competed in wood chopping events.
When Robert Fleming enlisted he was 30 yo, single and he gave his occupation as farm labourer. His religion was Presbyterian.
He had his first medical in Yarram and then received a railway pass from the Shire Secretary – dated 2/3/16 – and completed the enlistment in Melbourne on 14/3/16.
Private Fleming joined as reinforcements for 29 Battalion. His unit left Melbourne on 4/7/16 and reached England in late August (23/8/16). After further training in England he was sent to France in December 1916. He was taken on strength in 29 Battalion on 13/3/17.
In April 1917, Private Fleming had a run in with authority and was charged with … conduct prejudicial to good order and Military Discipline, in that he ate his emergency ration without permission of an officer. He was given 2 days of field punishment number 2 (confined to barracks). The breach of military discipline did not seem to affect his chance of promotion. He was made lance corporal in June 1917 (12/6/17), corporal in October and then sergeant in November of the same year (10/11/17).
At the start of 1918 he had two weeks leave in England (9/2/18 – 24/2/18). He was killed in action, not much more than 2 months later, on 8/5/18. He was buried in Corbie Communal Cemetery Extension, about 7 Km from Sailly-Le-Sec. The cable advising of death was dated 30/5/18.
Back in the Shire of Alberton, Sergeant Fleming's death was reported in the local paper on 5/6/18:
The sad information has been conveyed to us of the death of Sergt. R. Fleming, killed in action in France on 8th May. He was the only son of Mr. R. Fleming, of 47 Neil Street, Carlton, and enlisted for active service 2 1/2 years ago. Prior to offering his services to his country he was a resident of Devon, and amongst the members of the Devon Football club was regarded as one of their most prominent men, and besides being a general favorite he was acknowledged as a clean sport. His many friends here will regret the news at his having paid the supreme sacrifice.
Sergeant Fleming's name is recorded on both the Shire of Alberton Roll of Honor and the Alberton Shire Soldiers' Memorial. His name also appeared on the roll of honor for Blackwarry.
The very limited number of personal effects – 4 Notebooks, Photos, Cards – reached Australia in January 1919. His father was still alive at this point.
Unfortunately, there is no Red Cross report on the death. The only information comes from 29 Battalion's war diary. This shows that at the time the battalion was on the front line near Sailly-Le-Sec, near Amiens. On the night of 7 May there was a successful operation to extend the front line and a German strong point was taken. There are references to heavy German artillery over the next day (8/5/18), as well as the use of special patrols to establish German intentions. However, there is only one reference to 29 Battalion casualties, and this refers to them as being 'slight'.
As indicated, records in the service file show that by late 1922, the father was deceased. At the same time, the standard form covering the distribution of medals – the one that listed the sequence of eligibility, beginning with the father and going through 16 categories to end with Aunts on his mother's side (stating eldest) – revealed that the mother was also deceased and there were no siblings. The immediate family ended with Robert's death.
The service medals, Memorial Plaque and Memorial Scroll were issued to Sarah Ann Cook of Balook, via Traralgon who was the wife of Thomas Anderson Cook. She was an aunt – the eldest – on the mother's side. There was another, unsuccessful claim, for the same medals from Mrs A J Chapple of Ascot Vale. As 'aunts on his father's side' had precedence over 'aunts on his mother's side', this lady must have been a younger aunt on his mother's side. Presumably, she could also have been a cousin. Both ladies also applied for a war gratuity on behalf of Private Fleming but while Mrs A J Chapple's claim was unsuccessful there is no indication about what happened with Sarah Cook's application.

A small typo: the heading "FLEMING Robert Victor (3228) 29 B KIA 8/5/17" should be "KIA 8/5/18".

WHAN bells war rung, an mass was sung, A wat a' man to bed were gone, Clark Sanders came to Margret's window, With mony a sad sigh and groan.
'My mouth it is full cold, Margret, It has the smell now of the ground; And if I kiss thy comely mouth, Thy life-days will not be long.
'Their beds are made in the heavens high, Down at the foot of our good Lord's knee, Well set about wi gilly-flowers, A wat sweet company for to see.
Up she has tain a bright long wand, And she has straked her trouth thereon; She has given [it] him out at the shot-window, Wi many a sad sigh and heavy groan.
It's hose an shoon an gound alane She clame the wall and followed him, Untill she came to a green forest, On this she lost the sight of him.
'Their is na room at my head, Margret, Their is na room at my feet; There is room at my twa sides, For ladys for to sleep.
'Cold meal is my covering owre, But an my winding sheet; My bed it is full low, I say, Down among the hongerey worms I sleep.

by Maroon 5 (featuring Future)
Album: Red Pill Blues (2016)
Charted: 24 16
Adam Levine is upset because his lover is freezing him out emotionally and he feels that he doesn't know her anymore:
When we're kissing
Feel so different
Baby, tell me how did you get so cold
The Maroon 5 frontman is just playing a part; in real life he's happily married to Victoria Secret's model Behati Prinsloo.
Future finds his way onto the moody, bass-heavy track rapping about his lost love on the third verse.
Never thought that you were like this
I took the tag off and made you priceless
I just spent half a mill' on a chandelier
Now you tryna cut me off like a light switch, yeah.
It has been suggested that Future could be addressing his ex-fiancé Ciara.
The song was Maroon 5's second consecutive rap-assisted single following the Kendrick Lamar featuring "Don't Wanna Know."
Maroon 5 performed the song on television for the first time on the February 15, 2017 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
The trippy video was directed by Rich Lee, who also shot Maroon 5's clip for "Love Somebody." It stars Adam Levine and his wife Behati Prinsloo also has a cameo.
The clip finds Levine experiencing a psychedelic trip after accepting an invitation to Future's party and getting his whiskey dosed with acid. "Listen, I'll only make a video that's sexy if a) my wife's on board with whatever we're doing, and b) literally, I have to be," he told Ellen. "I have to go to a party reluctantly, and then I have to get drugged somehow."

Projections Rationale:
Lifts vs. L+SD are based on the 2014-15 season for premiere telecast or an average for originals (excluding the premiere).
Returning shows: Profile based on same show (either premiere or averages for originals).
New Series: Based on similar series.
A note about DVR penetration: DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample is currently at 49% in U.S. TV Homes. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which are increasingly not reflected in the overnight Live + Same Day numbers. As a result, the Live + 7 Day ratings are the most accurate Nielsen measure to gauge the size of the TV audience.

Q: Post Back entire rom of match not just matched value The matching code post back the value of a match (if it exist) on the row of the match I need to post back the entire row of the match not just the match
But I am not getting how to Resize
Thanks
Sub FindMatches()

Sadiq Khan is still dodging questions on his extremist links
By Harry Phibbs
Follow @harryph
Jonathan Rogers: A psychiatrist's view. Lockdowns reversed Cameron's progress on mental health.
The war on cars
WATCH: Khan takes responsibility for 40 per cent of Londoners not taking the Covid jab
Susan Hall: We will hold Khan's feet to the fire
Gareth Johnson: An Outer London Congestion Charge would be catastrophic for Dartford
Andrew Neil presided in a debate for the BBC earlier this week with the main candidates for Mayor of London. Parts of the discussion were tiresome or even absurd – for instance there was a demand to define "affordable" housing. The challenge was to give a figure for the weekly rent or purchase price of a property above which the housing was unaffordable, but below which it was affordable. Yet any figure will be affordable for some but unaffordable for others. I have long felt we should ditch this meaningless term. Next question: "How many can dance on the head of a pin?"
What the debate did allow for was the Labour candidate Sadiq Khan to be challenged over his extremist associations. Zac Goldsmith, the Conservative candidate, was very reasonable. He was not saying that Khan himself was an extremist but that Khan had repeatedly given cover to those who were. Andrew Neil and Peter Whittle, the UKIP candidate, also asked about this. Khan's response was not convincing. Specific questions met with general responses. Such as that on other occasions extremists had attacked Khan or that he "wasn't going to take lessons" from Whittle.
Other favoured diversionary tactics from Khan are to claim that he is simply being attacked for being a Muslim. Sometimes he would say that the attacks are "smears". But most people would define a smear as an allegation that is untrue.
So are the claims from the Goldsmith campaign smears or facts? Here are the claims and the sources they are based on.
Claim: "Your letter to the Guardian in the wake of 7/7, blaming terrorism on British Government policy."
Facts: Letter to Guardian of 12 August 2006, co-signed by Sadiq Khan. The letter stated: 'current British government policy risks putting civilians at increased risk both in the UK and abroad'. Khan was quoted directly: "We simply cannot ignore the fact that our country's foreign policy is being used by charismatic [figures] to tell British Muslims that their country hates them." (The Guardian, 12 August 2006,)
Claim: "Your choice to defend one of the self-confessed 9/11 terrorists"
Facts: Zacarias Moussaoui pleaded guilty to involvement in 9/11 and with Al Qaeda, telling the court: "I, Moussaoui Zacarias, in the interests to preserve my life, enter with full conscience a plea of guilty, because I have knowledge and participated in Al Qaeda." (New York Times, 19 July 2002)
Legal magazine The Lawyer confirmed that Khan was on Moussaoui's defence team (The Lawyer, 28 July 2003)
Claim: "Your choice to take on the British Government to overturn a ban against the hate preacher Louis Farrakhan."
Facts: Louis Farrakhan, according to the BBC; 'was (a) man who had described Judaism as "a gutter religion", characterised Christianity as an oppressive faith linked to the slavery of black people and called Adolf Hitler "great", although he said later that he had meant "wickedly great".' (BBC News website, 15 March 2002)
In 2002 Sadiq Khan represented Farrakhan in his bid to have a ban on him entering the U.K overturned – a ban that had been upheld by successive Home Secretaries since 1986. Khan told the BBC: "He is preaching a message of self-discipline, self-reliance, atonement and responsibility….It's outrageous and astonishing that the British Government is trying to exclude this man." (BBC News website, 30 April 2002)
Claim: "Your step-by-step legal guide on how to sue the Metropolitan Police that you now want to lead."
Facts: Khan wrote a chapter in a legal guide entitled 'Actions Against the Police'. In the article Khan urged claimants to 'think laterally in looking for human rights issues; many are not obviously a breach of human rights, but have a human rights angle'. He also advised claimants that 'aggravating features' such as accusing officers of acting in a 'high handed' manner could attract a higher level of compensation. (Challenging Racism: Using the Human Rights Act, Lawrence & Wishart, 2003 cited in Mail on Sunday, 3 April 2016)
Claim: "Your decision to share a platform with an extremist who called for Jews to be drowned in the ocean and who threatened 'fire throughout the world'. And then to dismiss that preacher's words as mere 'flowery language'"
Facts: Dr Azzam Tamimi has been described as an anti-semitic hate preacher who has said: "Sacrificing myself for Palestine is a noble cause… I would do it if I had the opportunity." (Jewish Chronicle, 8 February 2010)
Labour MP Louise Ellman quoted Tamimi in the Commons in 2003: 'He told a conference in Vienna that after Israel is destroyed and replaced with an Islamic state, the Jews should "sail on the sea in ships back to where they came or drown in it." (Hansard, 18 December 2003, Col. 1764).
Khan attended a rally in Trafalgar Square in 2006 where Tamimi threatened "fire throughout the world". Khan later told reporters: "Speakers can get carried away, but they are just flowery words." (The Sun, 8 February 2016)
Other facts:
Khan was criticised by fellow Muslim Labour MPs for 'self-serving revisionism' post 7/7. Khan claimed Tony Blair summoned him and other Muslim Labour MPs after 7/7 and said: "it was our responsibility" (The Guardian, 2 July 2015)
However, the other three MPs at the meeting came out last year and directly contradicted Khan, saying his recollection was 'at complete odds' with theirs and that the meeting ended with unanimous agreement on the need for unity'. They said: 'To misrepresent the words of a British prime minister and to mischaracterise a significant meeting in the wake of the tragic loss of 52 lives a week earlier is frankly beyond the pale' (The Guardian, 15 July 2015)
Khan repeatedly shared a platform with a group backed by al-Qaeda recruiters. He attended at least four events organised by 'Stop Political/Police Terror' between 2004 and 2005. The organisation was backed by Anwar al-Awlaki, dubbed the 'bin Laden of the internet'. SPT called for Muslims not to co-operate with the police and later became the notorious Cage. (Sunday Times, 7 February 2016)
Khan repeatedly joined an extremist preacher at rallies, who has called for an Islamic State. Khan shared a platform with Suliman Gani, a former Imam at the Tooting Islamic Centre in Khan's constituency, on at least nine occasions between 2004 and 2013. On the night of the Paris terror attacks, Gani spoke at an event in Bradford calling for an Islamic State. Gani also urged fellow Muslims to vote for Khan in Tooting and is previously on record as saying women should be subservient to men, and questioning Britain's 'bully tactics' for preventing Muslims travelling to fight in Syria. (Sunday Times, 14 February 2016)
When asked in Parliament, Khan chose not condemn Yusuf al-Qaradawi – who justifies suicide bombings and celebrates the holocaust. When asked directly about him, Khan said: "I would not believe the hype…. quotes attributed to this man may or may not be true". (Home Affairs Select Committee, 8 July 2004)
At the time, Al-Qaradawi defended suicide attacks against Israeli saying: "It's not suicide, it is martyrdom in the name of God." (BBC Newsnight transcript, 8 July 2004)
He also praised the holocaust and called it 'exaggerated' and 'divine punishment': "Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the [Jews] people who would punish them for their corruption. The last punishment was carried out by Hitler. By means of all the things he did to them – even though they exaggerated this issue – he managed to put them in their place. This was divine punishment for them. Allah willing, the next time will be at the hand of the believers." (Daily Telegraph, 13 May 2013)
Babar Ahmad:
Ahmad pleaded guilty and was convicted for producing a website that was described as 'the very first real al Qaeda website' which 'taught an entire generation about jihad' according to terrorism expert Evan Kohlmann (Teaching Terror: Strategic and Tactical Learning in the Terrorist World, accessed 2 March 2016).
Azzam.com offered advice entitled 'How do I train for Jihad?'. It published advice for would-be jihadis, encouraging aspiring terrorists to read up on 'AK-47 and other Soviet weapon Operating Manuals… [and] sniper training' (Azzam, accessed 2 March 2016).
It was also the first site to publish the 1996 declaration of war by Osama bin Laden on the West (Azzam Publications, accessed 11 March 2016)
Khan has previously claimed that Ahmad was innocent. Khan told the House of Commons that Ahmad should not just be "presumed innocent until he is found guilty," but was "in fact innocent." He did not go on to explain why he thought he was innocent, even though he could have done so. (Hansard, 12 July 2006, Col. 1429)
Khan described Ahmad as an 'affable, gentle and hardworking constituent and friend' who has 'done a great deal for the community.' Elsewhere he has described Ahman as 'an intelligent, articulate graduate with a lovely family' (Free Babar Ahman, accessed 2 March 2016).
Ahmad's sister was full of Khan's praises. She said: 'Sadiq Khan went out of his way for Babar's case and the people of Tooting should be proud to have him' (Asian Image, accessed 2 March 2016).

Q: 0x80131904 ASP.NET error: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server Okay, funky error codes.
So I got the above error after sending my website live on a server. Other websites are live on the same server using IIS. I'm using SQL Express.
Looking online says things such as "Use instance name" and "Check your connection string" all of which works. Furthermore, I have a back-end application attached to the same database which has no trouble getting data from it.
Any thoughts? If that isn't enough to go on feel free to ask for more details.
Relevant code below:

I have posted one post of Maths worksheets last month and it was rejected due to prblm in pixel size. I have corrected it 2-3 times but the result it again same. I have changed the pixel size to 1100 & 1000 size, as per instructions given for worksheets. But everytime my worksheets were rejected due to same problem. Please let me know what should I do? Just due to this prblm I am unable to post any new worksheets from past 1 month..
We cannot approve your worksheets as the logo of the Study village and some text of your worksheet is coming on the second page. You have to choose the correct pixel size. You said you choose 1100 & 1000 size try to use 700, 800, 900 so that whole work can be accommodate on single sheet along with the logo of the SVG and use self drawn pictures for posting worksheets.
Ok, thanx to clear the exact pixels size you want exactly. Though I have selected 1100 or 1000 size as per rules mentioned in this site for posting worksheets. But in some of my last worksheets you told me that you should increase the font size or pixel size. I think it will be much better if the seniors or editors clear font size or pixel size more clearly in this site, which will be helpful for new comers also.
It can be good for me if you clear all these things one month back. I have not found any mail from your side in my inbox. But I think you you atleast cannot deny for this that there is really lots of delay in approval of worksheets & now responses to forums also, in this site. And I am not a first or last person to complain about this in this site. I have lots of stuff with me to post in this site but just due to the pending approvals I was unable to post the same. Hope this problem will resolve very soon.
Pixel size depends on the size of worksheet which you have create, we cannot mention the exact pixel size to post any worksheet. You just have to use hit and trial method to find which pixel size is best suitable for your worksheets.
We never make any such rule that you have to post your worksheets in 1100 or 1000 size please read How to post Printables in StudyVillage once again.
You have submit your worksheet again but unfortunately the problem still exist so please choose the pixel size lesser than you use suppose use choose 700 size to post worksheet try to choose 500, 600 or 400 so that all your work can accommodate on a single page along with the SVG logo.
Ok. I have re-submitted the worksheets. Please check it again.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu) is a light novel series written by Nagaru Tanigawa and illustrated by Noizi Ito. The novels began in 2003 and were originally published as short stories in Kadokawa Shoten's The Sneaker magazine. Since then the short stories have been compiled into 11 light novel volumes, with the latest releasing in May 2011 (which was translated in November 2013). The series was adapted into a TV anime in 2006 from Kyoto Animation (K-ON!, Clannad) and directed by Tatsuya Ishihara (Clannad, Hibike! Euphonium). It was followed by a second season in 2009 and a film, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, in 2010. A spin-off manga titled The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan (The Vanishing of Nagato Yuki-Chan) was produced since 2009 by Puyo and was adapted into a TV anime last year.
Here is a synopsis of the anime from MAL:
Yuki Nagato, the shy president of the literature club, has never been very sure of herself around other people. But around Kyon, the only boy in the tiny, three-person club, Yuki finds herself faltering even more than usual. For Kyon, and for her precious club, Yuki must find her confidence and let her true personality shine! Enjoy taking a fresh look at your favorite characters in this brand-new story set in the world of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya!
This year will be the 10th anniversary of the Haruhi anime. Funimation will be releasing a Blu-ray and DVD version of the anime's first and second season; an ultimate collector's edition is also avaliable containing the OVAs and spin-off series.

Farewell, goodbye to giallo queen Daria Nicolodi
European Library Foundation of Information and Culture
Ana Costanzo, Co-editor
Enchanted by a hypnosis leaving me paralyzed and fixating on the stylized and alt-right exploitative gore on the screen, I attempt to lull myself into the vapid world of oblivion. Once I'm sucked into the giallo master's void, there is no escape. However, Dario Argento is not the sole artisan of his oeuvre.
Similar to French New Wave actress Anna Karina who was most known for starring in her former husband Jean-Luc Godard's films, Daria Nicolodi is renowned for her collaboration with her former husband, the said giallo master. Moreover, Nicolodi was a creative partner to Argento, aiding in the craftsmanship behind his most admired films such as Suspiria (1977) of which she co-wrote and Deep Red (1975) of which she starred with David Hemmings.
On Nov. 26, Nicolodi passed away at the age of 70 in Rome. There was no maniacal killer on the prowl, thirsting for Nicolodi's blood as in the case of Deep Red (thank heavens she did not meet a giallo death). However, Nicolodi's daughter did not provide a cause of death, simply a statement of adoration and love for her late mother.
So too I provide such a statement. After all, Suspiria was my first giallo film, giallo itself an international pulpy genre similar to American slasher films.
But reigning with supreme sophistication and a touch of splatter horror, giallo films (primarily Argento's) are the pinnacle of extreme distaste and putrefaction. Suspiria remains one of my favorite horror films for its stylized expressionism (and Goblin soundtrack!), as well as its beautiful storyline. Moreover, Deep Red with its mysticism and color palette offers a parallel to Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now (1973), albeit with more gore and blood-curdling screaming à la Argento.
I am always ecstatic upon the discovery of a female film creator, especially one so legendary as Nicolodi.
Moreover, I find it distasteful for America to disregard such a giallo queen in favor of remakes and sequels of outdone, prosaic horror films. Perhaps the news of Nicolodi's death will reach this coastline and thus attune attention to this Italian goddess's ascent. Then they will bat an eyelash regarding her inimitable talents.
If not, then may the giallo masters welcome her.
Most of the time you will find me writing independent film reviews, but I write anything which sparks my interest. I love film and consider myself a film...

DR Kenneth Kaunda first visited Limerick on May 18, 1963 where he spent time with his friend Rev. Fr Robert Thompson, S. J. Crescent College, during a three-day visit to Ireland.
Thompson, a native of Mallow, had spent the previous 11 years in Zambia, formerly Northern Rhodesia. Kaunda spent the night in the home of Mr T E O'Donnell, Ennis Road, the president of the Crescent Past Pupils Union.
The following year on October 24, 1964, Kaunda would become the first president of independent Zambia. Two weeks later, he would return to Limerick, this time to receive the highest honour in the city.
On Thursday November 26, 1964 the Chronicle reported on the bestowing the Freedom of the City on the newly inaugurated President of Zambia, Dr Kenneth Kaunda.
This was the first freedom given after the death of the American President John F Kennedy. President Kennedy had received the Freedom of the City a year earlier.
At approximately 4 o'clock, groups had gathered along the Ennis Road towards the city to try and catch a glimpse of the President on his journey from Shannon to Limerick. The crowds were so large that at the junction of Sarsfield Street and O'Connell Street "special forces of Gardai were on duty to control the crowds".
At this point, the car came to a full stop and "wild cheering broke out and the president, obviously touched by the scenes leaned over and rolled down the window to acknowledge the cheers of the crowd". The crowds continued to cheer as he made his way up William Street.
As he arrived at the School of Music, Mulgrave Street, the "crowds surged forward to shake his hand. Inside he was given a tumultuous cheer as he took the stand and the Zambian National Anthem was played".
As Kaunda received the honour, the audience remained silent, until he declared that he was "as much a Limerickman as any of you". This caused the audience to loudly applaud "his every word and there were many".
The event was tinged with sadness as Mayor Danagher and "the attendance of 300 cast their minds back some 18 months to think of the occasion when the Freedom of the city was last conferred. Then it was the turn of Cllr. Mrs. Frances Condell to offer the Scroll of Freedom to the late President John F. Kennedy of the United States of America".
After the ceremony was over Kaunda travelled to Bunratty where he was the guest of the Minister for Education Patrick John Hillery at a private mediaeval banquet.
While at the banquet, according to the Leader, Kaunda wore headgear that had been worn by the Earl of Thomond in the castle in 1542.
Kaunda was the longest running President of Zambia, holding office for 27 years. As a former teacher, he overhauled the education system. He was instrumental in the opening of the University of Zambia in 1966. Prior to their independence, there were only 109 university graduates in the country.
After 1972, he changed the country to a one-party state, he was finally deposed in 1991 and a multiparty government was reinstated. In 2006, he attended Dancing with the Stars America where he stated, "I once danced with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in my country". He celebrated his 94th birthday in April 2018.

Ready to finish that blanket? If you've been following along so far, at this point you should have something that looks like the image above.
If you missed Part One of this project, where I explained how to get this far, read this post first and then come back here to get the scoop on doing the border.
In all actuality, you could probably stop here if you really wanted to, but I prefer to add a border. It makes the blanket look more complete, and it helps eliminate that wavy-edge.
There are many techniques you can use to add a border to a blanket, but for this blanket, I wanted to keep the granny square thing going.
Remember how we made each square: a large center main color, one round of an accent color, and then two rounds of two different main colors.
Think about our blanket so far as the large center of a giant granny square. In order to make it fit in with our color rules, we'll need to add a round of accent color and two rounds of two different main colors, around the entire thing.
Choose your colors carefully. The border won't be terribly large, but it will have a significant impact. You should use three colors that you really want to stand out, because not only will the whole blanket be surrounded by these colors, but the border will also have the effect of making those colors pop in the center of the blanket as well.
This is the part where Eamonn and I had to compromise. I was very set on using gold as the accent color, but he was equally set on red. Additionally, he didn't want a three-round border at all, but a one-round border, entirely in red. In the end, we went with my three-round idea, but replaced my gold accent with the red he wanted. Luckily both of us are happy with the results!
If you still have a loose end from the last square you made, then join the AC to that end, and insert your hook into that corresponding space. If all of your ends are already woven in, just make a slip knot and insert your hook into any non-corner space of your choosing.
Border Round 1: By now you are an expert at making a granny square, so I don't need to tell you the specific stitches. This round is exactly like all of the others we've done, except it's much larger. When you get to a spot where one square has been joined to another, use the gap between the two squares as one of your spaces to 3dc into, as shown above, and then just keep going.
At the end of the first border round, the entire blanket will be surrounded in the accent color. This may not look terrific, and you may wonder if you should have included an AC in the border at all, but don't worry. The final two border rounds in the MCs will nicely tone down the AC and it will return to being simply a complementary accent.
Switch to MC1 and crochet Border Round 2 in the same manner as Border Round 1.
Switch to MC2, add Border Round 3 in the same manner as the previous two rounds, and your blanket will be complete!
You may wish to block the blanket, but I felt it wasn't really necessary. If you do want to lightly block it, spread it out on a rubber floor or blocking tiles, pin the edges and corners, and spritz it with water. Let it sit overnight, or until dry.
Of course, the best part of all is sharing the fruits of your labor with a special someone. Especially if he is an experienced practitioner of the art of being cozy!
I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial and that it has made some sense! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask them here.


MDC Network's Melissa Daar Carvajal covers ten ways to beef up a social cause pitch deck.
As organizations move into the realm of creating projects pitched to social impact investors, communicators must craft pitches calibrated to the investment community, a significantly different audience than our usual public. In this world, projects are sought which demonstrate an expected return for investment – and social causes can easily be distant and misunderstood.
Recently, MDC worked with Thrive Foundation for Youth in developing its pitch deck for potential investors. The foundation's YTH NTWRX is a mobile tool providing access, support and connection to growth opportunities for disadvantaged youth through networks of caring adults. You can see our pitch deck here.
Here ten learnings to consider in creating a social impact pitch deck for your investors.
1) Explain the reality of your "customers". When you are presenting to an investor with little experience or interaction with the non-profit world, your biggest challenge is to illustrate the reality of your clients' lives or the problem you are addressing. In one of our experiences, our potential investor couldn't understand why non-profit program couldn't simply pay enough to support the revenue model. Make good use of stories, case examples and quotes to support your case.
2) Provide revenue scenarios and or something to relate to ROI. These investors are very much focused on the bottom line. For social impact, the return on investment is not as cut and dried of a formula as those of business. However, your deck should demonstrate your project's impact and how it will be measured.
3) Include third party validators. For some investors, your social cause pitch might be the only one or one of the few that they see. For this reason, it's important to use validation from third parties that are viewed as independent and trustworthy by your audience. Data from universities and research institutions or aligned for-profit entities are good choices. Quotes and numbers are the most convincing.
4) Figure out if the deck is for presentation or reading. You might need two decks. One sent for reading – the other as background for presenting. Find out which or make both.
5) Use numbers. We love words and stories, but showing the problem and solution in terms of numbers is the usual way that investors see information.
6) Use stories too. As a communicator, you know this. Start or finish with a story to illustrate the problem and why your project addresses it. Use actual people if possible. Make it emotional, investors have hearts just like everyone else, but keep it real.
7) Get it designed professionally. We would posit this is essential with any deck. The goal is not to make it slick, but engaging and readable.
8) Train your presenter. If your deck is going out with a presenter, work closely with her on the presentation. Over-prepare them – and work on the questions that they must be prepared to answer. They'll not have much time to make their case so it's critical that they can speak concisely and powerfully.
9) Promote your team's expertise. It's the most important part of your pitch. Investors are being pitched before the product is made. They depend on knowing the team – and being confident that they will be able to do what is being proposed. Your deck must demonstrate their abilities and expertise as well as give the investor that confidence that they are up to the task at hand.
10) Keep it simple! Like all communications, get to the kernel of the idea fast and simply. You should develop about ten slides. It's likely someone will be reading it alone first, and ten minutes is the most you will have.

implement - new behaviors and skills for clearer vision, communication, relationships and teamwork.
It takes hard work to turn a good idea into a thriving, sustainable business and maintain it during challenging economic times. Yet, there are business leaders and managers who succeed. How are they doing it?
Objective: Help business owners stay committed to overcoming a "victim/scarcity" mentality that is all pervasive during tough economic time.
Presentation: Peter Drucker asks this question, "How can you get others to do what you want, if you are not clear on what you want?" After years of working with business owners and senior executives, Arlene is convinced that a clear vision and the ability to communicate that vision with clarity is the key to accomplishment and success. Attendees will learn how to create a clear vision, think differently, and understand the need for specific goals and strategies to make their vision a reality. She engages the audience right from the start by sharing the lessons she learned from her personal story of triumph after September 11.


The more responsibility we take for the results of our lives, the more gratitude and joy we will have in our lives. Therefore taking responsibility is a key ingredient to thinking positively!
My theory is that the closer we are in our attitude towards responsibility for the causes and effects within our lives, regardless of what the specific results of our lives yield, then the more we find gratitude and joy in our lives.
When we take responsibility for our individual results in life we recognize that we are the ones creating our experiences and if we do not like our individual experiences then we are the ones that must change them.
From a law of attraction perspective, every experience or life result is something, on some level of consciousness, which we created and drew forth to ourselves.
I think Buddha's quote however is going much deeper into the heart of perception and reality. Deep into the realm of detachment or un-attachment. These are concepts that I feel like I am just beginning to scratch the surface of understanding.
I have trouble reconciling concepts of detachment with concepts of love, which seems like complete attachment… how could love be wrong?
When I read Osho's words, I see a distinction between detaching from relationships, personal survival, and the other seemingly attached/ego based notions and detaching from the stream of thoughts governing my present experience.
So from this light, Buddha's notion that we have no cause for anything but gratitude and joy seems to imply that being immersed in the moment, being totally present, automatically come with gratitude and joy built in!
Do you agree with Buddha on this idea? What do you think is meant?
