DD Free Dish is India's first FREE DTH service now testing its first HD channel on its DTH platform. DD Freedish added "DD National HD" channel on DVB-S2 frequencies. DD National HD channel is also available on TATA Sky platform.
If you have free-to-air HD set-top box then you can tune this channel in high definition quality. DD Freedish providing large numbers TV channels without any monthly subscription.
Although, the number of HD channels on private DTH platforms is far less than that on paid platforms. Tata Sky has around 90+ HD channels, Airtel Digital with around 70 and Dish TV and Sun Direct with around 80 and Videocon D2H has about 80+ HD channels.
But bad news for "DD Free Dish iCAS set-top box subscribers", because this high definition channel will not be available in iCAS set-top boxes. As of now DD Free Dish iCAS set-top boxes are available in MPEG-4 technology only, and not upgraded yet for high definition TV channels, also you cannot watch other satellites FTA channels in iCAS set-top boxes due to its software limitations.
So simply buy non-iCAS set-top box to enjoy all TV channels, so you can install free DTH system using a free-to-air HD satellite receiver and a 55cm to 75cm ku-band dish antenna that has to be pointed to the GSAT 15 satellite placed over the 93.5 degree East position.
While another FREE DTH service ABS Freeview also providing one free-to-air HD channel "Trace Sports HD" on its platform. ABS Freeview DTH is carrying about 80+ national & international TV channels. You can also tune this satellite if you have a high defination set-top box and dish antenna system. You need to relocate your dish antenna at 75 degree east position.

Gambling machine review recommends £30 stake limit
Shares in bookmakers climbed after the review stopped short of speculation that the limit could be cut to as little as £2.
By John-Paul Ford Rojas, Business Reporter
Monday 19 March 2018 17:48, UK
Image: There are more than 30,000 fixed-odds betting terminals around the country
The Gambling Commission has recommended the maximum stake for fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs) should be set at £30 or less.
Shares in bookmakers William Hill and Ladbrokes Coral rose by 4% and 3% respectively as the proposals stopped short of speculation that the commission would go further.
Anti-FOBT campaigners - who call the terminals the "crack cocaine of gambling" - have criticised the regulator for failing to adopt a maximum stake of £2.
High-speed electronic casino games are said to be dangerously addictive and currently allow a stake of up to £100 every 20 seconds, enabling a player to theoretically gamble away £18,000 an hour.
The £30 limit would apply to "non-slot" games such as roulette - by far the most popular FOBT game.
The Commission's investigation was launched to try to reduce the risk to consumers.
It found that there should be a stake limit of £30 or less "if it is to have a significant effect on the potential for players to lose large amounts of money in a short space of time".

There are more than 30,000 fixed-odds betting terminals around the country, which currently have a maximum £100 stake limit.
A long-awaited review published last October recommended this should be cut to £2, £20, £30 or £50. Cutting the stake limit across FOBTs to £2 could have resulted in a sharp reduction in revenues for many bookmakers.
Labour MP Jim McMahon said he was "disappointed" with the latest guidance and tweeted: "I hope Gov go further".
Fellow Labour politician Carolyn Harris described it as "outrageous" that the watchdog was not "brave enough" to adopt the £2 limit and said the machines "blight" lives.
Ministers must now decide whether to implement the recommendations, which also included game limits per session, tracked play and player limits.
The Gambling Commission said the stake limit should be £2 on FOBT slot games, such as fruit machines.
Commission chief executive Neil McArthur said: "We've put consumers at the heart of our advice - advice which is based on the best available evidence and is focused on reducing the risk of gambling-related harm."
The Association of British Bookmakers said: "We remain committed to introducing further measures to address problem gambling and will continue to work with all interested parties."
George Salmon, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "While certainly not the outcome the bookmakers would have originally hoped for, this is better than what had been feared following January's news sharp cuts in stake limits was on the cards.
"Gambling machines are big money-spinners for the bookies.
"The new limits will likely see this fall in the future, but a higher cap on roulette-based games could help protect some of the huge revenues these machines make."


What else would you, as a string teacher, add to this list; and what are your views on the list as it stands?
The idea of learning a musical instrument is a very popular one with children, but it often happens that very quickly the learner realises that they cannot meet the dedication and discipline required for success, and therefore abandon their lessons and ultimately their aspirations. How can we, as music teachers address this issue? The key is surely motivating them to work, and in finding this key we need to question why they took up the instrument in the first place.
As approximately 75% of a child's contact with their musical instrument is likely to be spent alone, a teacher needs to communicate to them strategies to cope with the idea of solitary and individual practice very early on in their learning experience.
A good teacher will provide the pupil with both the technical and musical skills to play the instrument, but also will develop the skills needed for independent learning. The very best teachers aim to make themselves redundant!
How do you go about creating the independent instrumentalist in your teaching practice?

County officials speak out against bills promoting removal of concealed pistol permits
Miranda Prescott
The Gadsden Times
Etowah County Commissioners held a special called meeting Tuesday alongside their regular work session to discuss three gun-related bills up for consideration in the Alabama Legislature this session.
They passed a single resolution opposing the bills or any "legislation which would weaken the Etowah County Sheriff's ability to provide for the safety and welfare of all Etowah County Citizens."
Their biggest fear: A reduction in funding for school resource officers in county schools.
More:Alabama's 2022 legislative session opens with potential record budgets, and a warning
The bills in question — House Bills 6 and 44 and Senate Bill 1 — would remove certain aspects from laws pertaining to firearms.
House Bill 6, introduced by Reps. Proncey Robertson, Mount Hope, and Shane Stringer, Citronelle, and "would authorize individuals to carry a pistol or other firearm concealed or in a vehicle without a permit and would delete the presumption of intent to commit a crime of violence solely for not possessing a permit."
House Bill 44, which has 38 co-sponsors, including local Reps. Gil Isbell, Gadsden, and Craig Lipscomb, Gadsden, proposes the elimination of "the need for a person to obtain a concealed carry permit in order to carry a pistol."
Senate Bill 1, introduced by Sen. Gerald Allen, R-Tuscaloosa, "would repeal certain restrictions on the carrying or possession of a firearm on certain property or in a motor vehicle by persons with or without a concealed pistol permit," and also would "revise certain restrictions on the carrying or possession of 14 firearms at certain locations."
"There's about 21 states that have repealed concealed carry permits," Sheriff Jonathan Horton told commissioners. "In 2013, the Open Carry Bill was (passed), allowing people to open carry in certain areas and you could only conceal carry if you had a permit."
Horton said these bills have a lot of support, but his office. along with the Etowah County Board of Education and the commission, took issue with them as pistol permit revenue funds school resource officers in the district.
"If we were to lose that funding, obviously we'd have to pull some strings somewhere," said Dr. Alan Cosby, superintendent of Etowah County Schools, "My main concern is I don't want anything to do with a bill that could jeopardize our school resource officers."
Currently, the county, the school board and the sheriff's office fund SROs for all but seven schools within the county. They do so through contributions of $266,000 each, totaling $798,000. Schools that receive the funding:
Etowah County Refocus Center/Career Tech
Sardis Middle and High Schools
Whitesboro Elementary School
West End Elementary and High Schools
Gaston Elementary, Middle and High Schools
Hokes Bluff Elementary, Middle and High Schools
Glencoe Elementary, Middle and High Schools
Ivalee Elementary School
Carlisle Elementary School
"These are just the schools that the county personally funds," Commissioner Joey Statum explained, "Other local municipalities such as Southside and Rainbow City have their own separate funding for SROs."
Cosby said he has had conversations with several legislators within the past few days, all of whom assure him that the current funding mechanism for SROs will remain intact moving forward. However, it is the potential of lost funding that is causing the most problems.
"We're almost at a point where we can fund SROs in all of our schools, but we're not quite there yet," he said. "We lose this funding, we will never reach that point."
Horton added, "The funding is the biggest thing of it. The funding is paramount to keeping SROs, as we've been able to add one to almost every campus."
He added that the county averages 3,000 permits sold annually at a rate of $20 per year, which Etowah County residents have mostly had no issue with.
"We buy hunting and fishing licenses and I look at these permits in the same way," Horton said, "The annual fee has gone into the $266,000 in SRO funding and additional equipment we've bought for these officers."
Commissioners called on Isbell, Lipscomb and Sen. Andrew Jones, R-Centre, to "work with the Republican leadership and other state representatives to appropriate adequate and permanent replacement funding from the treasury of the State of Alabama" if the bills are passed.
In reality, Horton noted, the county will not see a huge cut in funding from pistol permits because concealed carry permits are still required to cross state lines.
"There are statistics that show that if you conceal carry across to other states, you will still need a permit to reciprocate this," he said. "So maybe the funding won't dip below a 20% cut, and if so, we can live with that."
House Bill 44 also allows for several venues to be removed from the list of places firearms could be banned, such as athletic events and stadiums. Horton pointed out that this could cause a significant amount of issues when it comes to public safety and the safety of law enforcement.
"If you go to a high school football or basketball game, these 18- to 19-year-old kids (could) have a weapon in their pocket concealed without a permit legally," he said. "When you talk about kids who have weapons they can draw, it can quickly turn into a shooting, so there's a lot of concerns to be drawn from a public safety standpoint."
Horton said that "upward of 90%" of people in the state who apply for a concealed carry permit receive it, but there are those who cannot because of mental health or criminal history.
"Even if the permits were free, the premise of having a background check is what helps determine who can carry and who can't," he said. "There's a lot of mental health issues in the state and we check for these issues when handing out concealed carry permits."
If the new legislation passes, the only way the sheriff's department would be able to determine who was not able to carry a firearm would be from the Forbidden Persons Database, which lists anyone who has been arrested and convicted of a violent crime.
However, it does not list those who cannot carry because of mental health, or those who have been convicted of low-level crimes.
"It means that if a person has committed a crime of a serious magnitude, that's the only way you would not be allowed to carry a firearm," the sheriff said.
However, this database of names has not been released for use yet. In fact, it now is set to be operational in January 2023, after it had originally was set to be implemented this month.
"It's coming down to that database if we do away with that," said Commissioner Jamie Grant, "which means that we are having to rely on a database that is not there."
Both Horton and the commissioners say they support the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms, but the potential loss of funding and safety of the public and law enforcement is driving their position on the legislation.
"Personally, I have some opposition to it because of the safety of our law enforcement and the citizens," Commission President Johnny Grant said.
"I'd rather have pistol permits be free for the public safety aspect of it," said Horton, "So the right people can be vetted and the wrong people don't end up with a firearm, but obviously the funding is important."

Here's the first part of where I have written about it.
Yesterday, I went to the City of Glen Rose meeting, which I will post later on today in audio and a vid clip or two, but I didn't go to the Somervell County Commissioner's Court. I figured I would go get the audio later on, and attempted to do so in the afternoon. I ran into a problem, however. For some reason, the audio recording equipment being used yesterday had not consistently recorded all of the meeting; NOT the fault of the clerk attempting to record AND the IT person at the county is apparently looking at the problem.
That said, I continue to think it's not only a good idea for the local government agencies to post audio of their meetings, but it's certainly not without precedent at other local, state or federal levels. (Take the Texas Legislature Online, for merely one example). I saw Judge Walter Maynard last night at the city meeting and asked him about it. "No", he said "We aren't ever going to do that". I was a little taken aback by how adamantly and abruptly he said that, but perhaps it's because my question came when there wasn't much time for discussion. Since Judge Maynard doesn't vote on the county commissioners court, seems to me this would be a good question to bring up to the commissioners to ask for them to discuss and vote on.

Singer Carrie Underwood is back with a new incredible song.
Carrie Underwood just dropped a new emotional ballad called "Cry Pretty."
It's the first song she's recorded and released since her accident last year.
She fell outside her home in November, leaving her with a broken wrist and face injury that required 40 to 50 stitches.
Underwood said the song "speaks to a lot of things that have happened in the past year."
Carrie Underwood, 34, had fans freaking out earlier this week when she posted about a mysterious happening on Instagram, only saying that something was coming at 6:00 a.m. EST on April 11. One day later, she confirmed that the announcement was regarding new music, and now, her new song, "Cry Pretty," is finally here.
Although Carrie released her song "The Champion" earlier this year, "Cry Pretty" is the first song she's dropped that was recorded after she fell outside her home in November, leaving her with a broken wrist and face injury that required 40 to 50 stitches.
In a blog post about "Cry Pretty," Carrie confirmed that the emotional track hit close to home after what she's been through during the last few months.
"The title refers to when emotions take over and you just can't hold them back," she explained. "It really speaks to a lot of things that have happened in the past year and I hope when you hear it, you can relate those feelings to those times in your life."
In the song, Carrie sings: "You can pretty lie and say it's okay / You can pretty smile and just walk away / Pretty much make your way through anything / But you can't pretty cry."
It's no secret that Carrie has been through quite a traumatic journey in the aftermath of her accident — she admitted in January that her face may never look the same again — and this track perfectly emulates that feeling of having to get out all the emotion.
Carrie will perform "Cry Pretty" for the first time at the ACM Awards this Sunday, April 15. She also promised fans that an album and tour announcement are on the way — so there's plenty more to look forward to!

Structured Settlements and the Incentives That Complicate Them
By Rachel Summit, with Annuity FYI in Annuities, Annuity, Compare Annuities, Expert Advice, Pacific Life, Uncategorized
Every year, thousands of individuals are involved in accidents that require years of medical care, often funded by a lump-sum financial settlement. Because it can be extremely challenging to manage such care with an all-cash settlement, many end up settling legal claims with a structured settlement. This means they trade a cash settlement for long-term, tax-free income that is funded by an annuity. It's a wise decision and encouraged by the federal tax code, but did you know that special incentives are offered to financial planners who close such deals? It's true, making it very important for consumers to be in the know.
A recent Kiplinger article tackled the subject of insurance incentives in the structured settlement industry, and while the author stated that he believes the situation calls for attention from Congress and state insurance regulators, he also suggested that it's imperative consumers learn to protect themselves. The first step is to understand structure settlements and structure planners.
A structured settlement gives accident survivors a payment stream that spans several years, perhaps even a lifetime. Payments are funded by a life insurance annuity, and income is free of federal and state tax withholdings. In addition to the tax benefits, structured settlements offer long-term security, which a cash settlement does not. In most cases, a settlement planner. These professionals play a crucial role in quantifying long-term costs of therapy, medical care, prescription drugs, medical device replacement and other injury-related needs. The planner will then reach out to insurers to price the annuity needed to fund these payments. Last year alone, the 10 major life insurers who issue structured annuities issued a combined $5.5 billion in settlements, with an average of more than $230,000.
Most settlement planners are well paid, and a huge ethical problem is created when insurance companies additionally offer incentives for planners to steer injured clients to their annuity products. International trips, fancy golf events and other pricey rewards are often up for grabs, which begs the question: Will settlement planners push injury victims to accept certain insurers' annuities even if there are better of less-expensive options?
According to LIMRA, evidence appears to show that these incentives do, indeed, affect what structured settlement planners promote to accident victims. For example, Pacific Life's structured annuity sales fell almost 10% between 2013 and 2014, after the company stopped offering incentive trips. On the flip side, when the company announced a six-day trip to the Four Seasons in Bora Bora in 2015, sales skyrocketed and continue to do so. Pacific Life failed to comment when addressed.
While the structured settlement industry's trade association has a Code of Ethics, structured settlement planners are not fiduciaries, therefore aren't required to protect clients' best interests. It is important to note that most planners act ethically, but evidence suggests that some may not. In an effort to protect yourself from the latter, here are some suggestions.
Have your broker confirm in writing if your acceptance of a structured annuity qualifies him or her, directly or indirectly, in an insurer incentive program.
Ask whether the planner's company has a policy on acceptance of incentives.
Planners should provide annuity quotes from multiple insurers in writing. Life insurers or defense attorneys should then confirm the accuracy of said writing.
If the defense objects, insist on a plaintiff broker. Structured settlement brokers are paid by commission. If you bring in your own consultant, they split the commission with the defense at no extra cost to you.

What can REALLY happen if you don't transform your A/C filter on a regular basis?
What can truly occur is you use your blower out quicker, make use of more electricity or gas, and also do not get one of the most reliable use of your system. Dirty filters do influence effectiveness, but that is not the primary worry. Obstructing air circulation of a heating appliance is comparable to obstructing the air flow to your automobile's engine, it will run hot, and also could create the engine to get too hot and also create a split. The exact same applies to a forced-air heating system. It is better to not use a filter than it is to let one get also dirty. Obstructing air circulation likewise triggers A/C systems to breakdown. I could tell you that more heating systems have been destroyed due to filthy filters than for any other reason. Modern warmth exchangers (the metal component that the air strikes over prior to appearing of the signs up) lack the heavy density of old heaters, so brand-new equipment is far more sensitive to inadequate air activity. Filters that filter well actually might be doing damage. If in any way feasible, use economical filters, as well as alter them regularly, (1X per month at the very least, maybe more if you have a residence workshop and also develop dust in the heating system room) unless there is an unique demand for extreme filtering system.
Installation for this sort of system typically consists of 2 components: an indoor device called an air handler and an outside device just like a central air conditioner, but referred to as a heat pump. A compressor distributes cooling agent that absorbs as well as launches warm as it travels in between the interior as well as exterior units.
Heat pumps are developed to relocate thermal energy other to the instructions of spontaneous heat flow by absorbing warmth from a chilly space and also releasing it to a warmer one. A heatpump uses some amount of exterior power to accomplish the job of transferring energy from the warmth source to the warm sink.
A mini-split heat pump supplies forced-air cooling and heating, however without using ductwork. For this reason, these systems are additionally referred to as ductless heatpump or ductless mini-splits.
Is a heat pump home heating and also a/c system energy efficient?
If you warmth with power, a heat pump could cut the amount of electrical power you utilize for home heating by as long as 30% to 40%. High-efficiency heat pumps likewise evaporate far better compared to basic central air conditioners, leading to less power use and also more cooling convenience in summer months.
An air resource heat pump (ASHP) is a system which transfers warmth from outdoors to inside a building, or the other way around. Under the concepts of vapor compression refrigeration, an ASHP uses a cooling agent system involving a compressor as well as a condenser to soak up warmth at one place and release it at another.

Why Execute One Murderer?
By PETER A. JAY
HAVRE DE GRACE — Havre de Grace -- To a committed opponent of capital punishment, John Thanos is the ultimate nightmare.
He is a remorseless murderer with no redeeming characteristics. As a middle-aged white man, he belongs to none of the accredited victim groups. And to top it off, he won't fight to avoid his scheduled execution. If he can't be out killing other people, he said with macabre candor, he'd just as soon die himself.
He may get his wish the week of November 1, unless the Maryland Court of Appeals comes down with a case of the willies after it hears arguments on Wednesday concerning his sentencing. The state's gas chamber has been tidied up in readiness for the first execution in 32 years. If it isn't used now, it probably won't be for a long time.
Because Thanos comes about as close to absolute evil as we're likely ever to see, his case brings the debate over Maryland's death penalty into acutely sharp focus. The debate is important and the stakes are high, for there are others on death row, and the execution of Thanos would demonstrate that the laws under which they were sentenced are not, after all, without meaning.
In a sense, this particular defendant is like the blob of grease clogging a backed-up sewer. Move him along, and it will open the drain. This is a prospect Marylanders generally regard as either encouraging or appalling.
There is something both bizarre and appropriate about the fact that at this stage in the Thanos legal proceedings, the state is arguing not with the defendant but with itself. Thanos refused to appeal, and rejected representation by the Maryland public defender. But the public defender appealed anyway, challenging the finding of Garrett County Circuit Judge Fred A. Thayer that Thanos is mentally competent.
Another challenge to the execution is going forward in federal court, and should the Maryland Court of Appeals uphold the Thanos sentence there could be a further appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. But there's no reason to think that those actions will save Thanos, or even buy him much more time.
Now that the drama is inching toward a conclusion, the usual battle lines have been drawn and, no doubt, the execution-eve posters already lettered. When the day of John Thanos' termination arrives, if it does, representatives of both camps will be found glaring at each other outside the penitentiary and giving sharp sound bites to the microphones.
For years, capital punishment in Maryland has been a volatile, visceral issue. I remember former Gov. Theodore McKeldin, perhaps 25 years ago, weeping at a legislative hearing over those he had allowed to be executed. But the debate is now even more highly charged because of the unchecked rise in violent crime.
In a generally peaceful and law-abiding society, as was Maryland in the days when those convicted of certain crimes were likely to be put to death, there is a workable consensus that some forms of conduct are absolutely unacceptable and must be dealt with harshly.
Sometimes this results in injustices, as when a defendant is executed only to have exonerating facts turn up afterward, or when the machinery of the state is used -- or is perceived to be used -- to punish those of certain races or religions more sternly than those of others. Examples of such injustices are the staples of most arguments against capital punishment.
No miscarriage of justice can be lightly dismissed. But serious crimes are all miscarriages of justice too, for they deprive their victims of their property, their peace of mind, or even their lives. This is a guiding principle of law-abiding societies.
By contrast, in a society in which for most practical purposes there are no rules and crime is epidemic, there is greater resistance to the state's exercise of its authority. Why execute one murderer when murderers by the score roam the streets? That would be discriminatory, and discrimination, it is commonly argued, is too big a price to pay for increased public safety. Faced with such arguments on capital punishment, governments have recently tended to throw in the towel.
If John Thanos dies in the Maryland gas chamber, there will be cheers -- but it shouldn't yet be a cause for rejoicing. It may not mean much at all. It certainly won't bring back to life Billy Winebrenner and Melody Pistorio, the two teen-agers he shot to death in Middle River three years ago, or Gregory Taylor, the teen-ager he shot to death on the Eastern Shore. It won't, by itself, deter future killers or bring about safer streets.
But its symbolic significance could be considerable, over time. In the future it may be seen as the moment that the government of Maryland, prodded by an aroused citizenry, looked at the chaos around it and decided to draw a line in the sand.

Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away.....there were space cats! They started out as cats at night, (see Deep Sparkle Space.....) but some very imaginative children turned them into space cats!
They were drawn with sharpie pens, colored with water colors, and cut out. Do you see the space ship made with glue and glitter?
There were some photographs of real cats up on the cupboards, for inspiration, but lots of imagination started to sparkle and was welcomed!!!
There were different choices for backgrounds to glue the cats to, and watery white tempera paint to splash around to make stars. Wow, this cat is so alive.
Most of the children also made moons with craters, cut those out, and glued them on.
Some of the cats came right off the page! Space cats!!!!
We finally named our charity knitting group. Vanessa, one of the knitters, came up with the name. Olof stands for Our Lady of Lausanne. I crammed most of this beautiful work into a large shoe box! It is going to explode when Dianne, the woman who runs the knitters' charity in Turkey, LILY, opens it!!!! LILY stands for Love in the Language of Yarn. Dianne, a British woman who lives in Turkey, and her friends, sew the squares into blankets for children, and she hires a driver to take all of the blankets, clothing, and other donations to Syrian refugee camps in Turkey. She also started a bakery near a Syrian refugee camp and delivers bread every day. You can see more about her wonderful work on the LILY facebook page.
Here's a mighty cute project I saw on Deep Sparkle Space. We did this project with the 1rst and 2nd graders. It took about one and a half classes. They started by painting some colorful patterned backgrounds.
While those dried they started working on the penguins. First they drew a big "U" on black paper, and cut it out. Next, a smaller white "U". Two "D" shapes made wings. They cut out eyes, beak, and feet.
The children then had fun rummaging in the collage box for goodies to use to dress their penguins.
The expressions are so individual and adorable.
A bit of silver paper from Pepperidge Farm cookies adds a lot of sparkle!
This is a witch penguin with a flask full of pompom potion and a broom made from a skewer and a piece of wood from a tiny fruit crate. What a great imagination!
This penguins says, "I'm cold!"
Look how much care this child took to do squiggles made from string. She also braided string for a scarf and made a broom.
This child was absent the first week, so he didn't have a chance to make a colored background. Most of the children had fun adding snowflakes using white paint and a cotton swab.
Next week I will have children finishing penguins, finishing the following project, "The Princess and the Pea," and starting new projects! Three projects! How do you handle absences and different work speeds? I really want children to be able to work at their own pace, without rushing anyone...but...yikes!
Aren't these little houses adorable? They are made with lunch bags. The children can start by painting their cardboard base white. Then it can dry while they work on the house.
They can draw on the paper bag while it is flat. They can add color with watercolor paints, but I urged them not to get the paint too watery. As usual, a sample project by me was an inspiration for lots of their own enchanting and individual ideas, as you can see.
They gently stuffed the paper bag with some loosely balled newspaper. Ottilie prepared some newspaper so the children wouldn't stuff large pieces in their houses...that would have caused these delicate bags to rip. We stapled the top of the bags together and an adult used the glue gun to attach the houses to the bases when they were dry enough.
We had some white paper ready for them to make a roof, folded in half, so they could cut both sides of icicles at the same time. We helped them size their roofs so that details on the houses wouldn't be covered up. We wanted them to glue the roof on top but a few children found the stapler and used that.
Some of the children made a construction paper walkway, pine cone bushes or trees, (which we adults attached with the glue gun,) and a few made some delightful snowmen. Acorns were also added to some yards.
I must have missed taking pictures of a few of the houses, unfortunately. That's too bad, because they were all so cute!
We visited this amazing little Medieval town on the Rhine River in Switzerland this weekend to see the Christmas market.
I knew it was going to be a pretty town, but I could hardly believe my eyes.
I feasted my eyes on the murals on the buildings in the square around the Town Hall. Switzerland has taught me to appreciate the subtle beauty of a grayed down color palate.
The town is beautifully maintained, and the murals are restored from time to time. How did this little town escape uglification?
There are many images of St. George because there is a Cloister named after him in Stein Am Rhein. Even the manhole covers have St. George on them.
The Christmas market also wasn't what I was expecting. I thought we were going to be visiting a little market which would show a lot of German influence, since we were close to the border, and I was looking forward to adding to my supply of wooden German Christmas ornaments. But it was a medieval market with a distinct New Age/Lord of the Rings flavor. Do you see the elf ears in this picture? There were many costumed people in attendance.
We saw a battle demonstration.
The think this is the syrup stand. Sirop, (in French,) is added to water to flavor it. Children love it.
The dragon handler is at the end of this row of booths. There was also a blacksmith.
This is the leather goods stand. The leather goods were amazingly beautiful "pockets" for attaching to your belt. I wish they made pocketbooks, too.
This is the fur stand, next to the longbow and arrow vendor. We also saw the potions lady, her hair wreathed with herbs and ivy, a man grilling sausages, a fortune teller, some Gandalfian staffs, hand-tooled leather book covers, jewelry, including cape pins, and a Medieval costume seller.
I wish you could see this painting better. The drawings of the animals really inspired me.
What an amazing place, and what a wonderful place to visit.

Appeals court : TN ballot access law violates minor party constitutional rights
The federal 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that Tennessee's requirements for "minor" parties getting their names on the ballot violate the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, reports the Tennessean. The decision upholds a lower court ruling.
"Tennessee's ballot-retention statute clearly imposes a heavier burden on minor parties than major parties by giving minor parties less time to obtain the same level of electoral success as established parties," wrote Chief Judge R. Guy Cole Jr. in the court's decision.
The decision means Tennessee's requirements for minor parties to get their candidates on a ballot can't be enforced. The Green Party of Tennessee and Constitution Party of Tennessee brought the lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the law in 2013; Green Party Co-Chair Kate Culver said the decision is a huge victory for minor parties in Tennessee and across the country.
"This is huge for the potential for third parties to have a voice in the political arena," Culver said Thursday morning.
"We know right now people are unhappy and disgruntled with the two major parties. … There needs to be some way to get those voices heard."
The parties sued Secretary of State Tre Hargett. Through a spokesman, Hargett said his office is reviewing the court's decision to determine what action the state might take next.
…Tennessee law says a minor party must be recognized as a minor party to get a candidate on a ballot. That recognition requires a petition with signatures totaling at least 2.5 percent of the number of votes cast for governor in the last gubernatorial election; that'd be at least 33,844 signatures based on the 2014 gubernatorial election.
After meeting that petition requirement, though, one of the party's candidates for statewide office would have to receive at least 5 percent of the votes cast in the governor's election to remain on the ballot for the next election. If none of the party's candidates met that threshold, they'd have to go out and collect signatures again.
Major parties are allowed to meet that 5 percent mark at any point over the course of four years to remain on the ballot, according to Tennessee law.
"Only Tennessee's access-retention system forces minor political parties to attain the same vote percentage as major political parties in less time," states the court's opinion, with emphasis added to "same" and "less" by the court.

The campus community is saddened by the death of former facilities staffer Frank Lombardo. He worked at the University for 30 years before his retirement. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 19 in Vernon. Please see the obituary for details.


Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho has claimed that England international, Phil Jones is expected to be fit for this weekend's crucial game at Old Trafford against resurgent Tottenham. The 25-year-old centre back was withdrawn on 23 minutes in the loss at Huddersfield over the weekend, and was replaced by summer arrival, Victor Lindelof.
Jones, who has not missed a league game this season, is expected back against Mauricio Pochettino's team on Saturday, which will be a big boost to us given that the player has been nothing short of stunning for us all season. United have stumbled a little after our excellent start to the season but a brace from Jesse Lingard put us in the quarter finals of the Carabao Cup to bring back confidence to a team lacking in it in recent days.
Jones was on the bench in the 2-0 victory over the Swans at the Liberty, with Jose stating that he will play against Spurs, who are only behind us on the table based on our superior goal difference. Mourinho will want Jones to be back most especially to curtail the threat of hit man, Harry Kane who has already netted 17 goals for club and country this season.
"So a good day for us. I think Jones will be [back] because, today [Tuesday], he was on the bench and he told me he will be ready in case I need him. So I believe he'll be even better for Saturday." he added.
Jones has regained the form that saw United and Sir Alex Ferguson shell out big money for his signature back in 2011 and is now one of Jose's trusted players and one of the first names on the team sheet if he's fit.
Jones is an old school centre back that is known for his safety first approach. He is good for his headed clearances, interception and tackling. He can also play as a right back and a defensive midfielder. He joined United in 2011 and has won the league, League Cup, FA Cup, Europa League and 3 Community Shield titles. He has scored 5 goals in 177 matches but has always been beset by injuries.

Emma Roberts shares first photo of newborn son and reveals his full name
Emma Roberts has just revealed her newborn son's full name!
On Tuesday, the 29-year-old Scream Queens star shared the first photo of her baby boy, whom she welcomed with boyfriend Garrett Hedlund late last year.
"Thank you 2020 for getting one thing right," she wrote via her Instagram. "Our bright light Rhodes Robert Hedlund."
Rhodes is Roberts and Hedlund's first child together. Roberts announced her pregnancy back in August after sharing three photos of herself with Hedlund while cradling her baby bump.

"Me...and my two favorite guys," she captioned the post.
The Holidate star then gave birth on Sunday, December 27 in Los Angeles.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan in December, the actress opened up about how she originally wanted to be married and have kids by the age of 24.

"At 16, I thought, 'By the time I'm 24, I'll be married with kids,'" she said. "And then I was 24 and I was like, 'Remember when I said I would be married with kids by now?'
"It sounds cheesy, but the moment that I stopped thinking about it, we got pregnant."
She also revealed that her pregnancy journey wasn't easy, after learning she unknowingly had endometriosis as a teen.
"I was told, 'You should probably freeze your eggs or look into other options,'" she said. "When I found out about my fertility, I was kind of stunned. It felt so permanent, and oddly, I felt like I had done something wrong."

DestinationsCanadaNewfoundland and Labrador
7 Adorable Small Towns To Visit In Newfoundland
Vanessa Chiasson
Mar.9.2021

It's considered bad form in travel writing to use phrases like charming, quaint, and hidden gem. These cliches are overused, but in Newfoundland, I argue that they aren't used enough. If you're road-tripping through Canada's easternmost province, at times it feels like you're stumbling across nothing but hidden gems!
Visitors galore flock to the capital city of St. John's, and plenty of guests make their way to the pretty coastal towns that make up Iceberg Alley. But that leaves thousands of adorable small towns waiting for intrepid travelers to drop in. These are some of the places that stand out in my memories from when I lived in Newfoundland myself — plus, there's one special place that's now on my travel bucket list, thanks to a TravelAwaits reader. So go ahead and call these small towns, villages, hamlets, and coves charming and quaint. If ever there was an apt occasion to use those adjectives, it's now.
1. Battle Harbour
The community of Battle Harbour has a motto that must be the envy of little-visited destinations the world over: "There's off the beaten path. And then there's this place." They aren't exaggerating!
Located on Battle Island off the coast of Labrador, Battle Harbour is nine miles from the next closest community — by boat! — and you can only visit between June and September. This genteel community, once a bustling center of commerce and trade in the 1700s and 1800s, was known as the Capital of Labrador. Today, it's regarded as one of the most beautiful National Historic Sites in Canada. The Battle Harbour Historic Trust maintains the buildings, runs cultural programs, and preserves much of the once humming community as a living museum. If their small but growing Instagram page is any indication, this might just be the most beautiful spot in all of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Battle Harbour was once the salt cod capital of the world. You can experience a glimpse of this powerful industry by going on a fishing excursion from the island. Afterward, you can spend the night in one of the restored homes where homemade quilts still cover the beds.

2. Brigus
At times, Brigus looks a little bit like western Ireland. At others, it resembles a village in Victorian England. But the truth is that it's 100 percent Newfoundland. Immensely walkable, with winding lanes, old homes, and colorful buildings, Brigus has stone walls, lush perennial gardens, and plenty to see and do. This compact community has plenty of history as well. At Hawthorne Cottage National Historic Site, the life of Captain Bob Bartlett, known as the greatest Arctic ice navigator of the 20th century, is chronicled.
Every August, Brigus welcomes thousands of people to the community's annual blueberry festival. With fireworks, dances, pie-eating contests, parades, raffles, craft sales, and — you guessed it, plenty of blueberries — it's one of the best small-town festivals in Canada.
If you can't make it to the blueberry festival, the Country Corner restaurant and gift shop serves up legendary blueberry crisp (seriously, do not wear a white shirt while eating it). Locals also love E and E Drive In, which is beloved for its milkshakes. Yep, they have blueberry! And also my personal favorite, toasted marshmallow, plus lemon pie, cotton candy, and Froot Loops.

3. Trinity
Trinity is break-your-heart pretty, a place so nice it should be in the movies. And it has been! Trinity was used as a filming location for The Shipping News and The Grand Seduction. The red, yellow, white, mint, peach, and bright blue buildings look darn good on camera. Trinity is also home to museums, art galleries, dinner theater programs, whale watching, iceberg spotting, and hiking.
And, most importantly, in my opinion, Trinity is home to a small restaurant called Oh My Cheeses. As the name implies, it specializes in grilled cheese sandwiches. Glorious! You can read a review of it and Trinity's long list of eateries here. Pack your stretchy pants!
Just how good is the hiking in and around Trinity? In the nearby community of Port Rexton, you'll find the Skerwink Trail, which was named one of the top 25 walks in North America and Europe by Travel + Leisure magazine.
4. St. Mary's Harbour
If the quest to find the most adorable village in Newfoundland was a competition, St. Mary's Harbour (or just plain old St. Mary's to locals) just might win the whole thing — in part because it has a couple tricks up its sleeves. First, it's home to the Claddagh Inn. This warm, welcoming bed and breakfast has ample amenities, a great view of the harbor, and a truly homemade breakfast (the ketchup served alongside the frittatas is made by the owner's mom!). The Inn is also home to Padraig's Folly, the tiniest pub in Newfoundland!
Believe it or not, there was a time when St. Mary's was even cuter than it is today. For years, the community was also home to a miniature village! A tiny replica of a traditional Newfoundland fishing village. This artistic achievement was built by Frank Mullet as a faithful tribute to his childhood village of Oderin. Alas, it was badly damaged in a storm and no longer remains.
A visit through rural Newfoundland is much more meaningful when you understand the history of resettled communities like Oderin. Hundreds of communities were resettled by the government, mostly in the mid-1900s. In some cases, economic decline and geographic isolation, combined with heavy-handed government pressure, left locals with no real choice but to move. In others, resettlement was forced without community consultation or cultural considerations in the case of many Inuit settlements in Labrador. It's a topic of conversation best approached with sensitivity and respect.
5. Ferryland
Ferryland is the heart of Newfoundland's Irish community. Irish music, folklore, traditions, language, and even accents thrive here. When locals speak, it's with a lilt not found anywhere else! But today, it's attracting visitors and archeologists from around the world. This is where Lord Baltimore founded the Colony of Avalon in 1621 before heading down to Maryland to settle his namesake city. Today, archaeologists are at work to uncover the housing foundations and cobblestone streets from the 17th century — it's like a village emerging within a village!
If you can visit from June to September, do so. That's when the Southern Shore Dinner Theatre is in full swing, combining food, humor, history, and theater in a memorable performance. It's also the perfect opportunity to try a plate of Newfoundland turkey dinner, complete with dressing, potatoes, turnips, and a serious amount of gravy.

6. Green Bay South
Thanks to TravelAwaits reader Natalie, the villages along Green Bay South have hit my travel radar. This beautiful area, which stretches between the communities of South Brook and Brighton, is picture-perfect: You have fishing boats in harbors, salt-worn buildings by the shore, and colorful houses aplenty. The communities embody the warmth and friendliness that Newfoundland is known for, and you won't be in the area long before you have some new friends.
While Green Bay South is well known as an iceberg-watching zone in spring and summer (check out the Maple Ridge Trail to spot icebergs, whales, and wild berries) don't discount an autumn visit when the fall colors are spectacular. And they'll look even better while enjoying a beer. On Pilley's Island, the Bumblebee Bight Brewery is the first in the region to make craft beer and they offer accommodations as well.
Across the waters from Green Bay South is its sister region, Green Bay. In the community of King's Point, check out the striking King's Point Pottery. The entire building looks and feels like a work of art. Some 365 artists and craftspeople are represented inside.

7. L'Anse Aux Meadows
No one said that the most adorable small towns in Newfoundland had to be from the modern age, did they? L'Anse aux Meadows was surely a stunner of a town around 1000 A.D. when it was North America's premier Norse settlement. These early Viking visitors beat Columbus by about 500 years.
Remarkably, L'Anse aux Meadows really does have a village feel to it. A combination of excavation work and restoration work allows visitors to get a feel for what the Viking encampment might have looked like. Nearby is a recreated Viking port of trade, Norstead. Here, you can observe traditional skills and crafts (like ax throwing and yarn spinning) and sit back in a chieftain's chair while brandishing a sword.
You can eat better than any Viking at the Norseman Restaurant, which serves up lobster, scallops, steak, and lamb just a few minutes down the road from L'Anse aux Meadows. The owners also operate bed and breakfast style accommodations and vacation rentals at the Valhalla Lodge. Literary fans will be keen to know that this is where Annie Proulx wrote The Shipping News.
Practical Considerations
Whether you plan on flying or taking the ferry to Newfoundland, you'll have to carefully plan your transportation when you arrive. With no public transportation to these small towns, having your own vehicle is essential. Before driving at night, ask locals about the risk of moose on the roads. They are a serious problem along many highways. And come winter, snow tires are non-negotiable. Plan accordingly and stay safe!
