TNT's Dallas has been so consistently good. A real treat for fans of the original. Josh Henderson is an actor worthy of Larry Hagman's lineage.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT YOU ARE SO RIGHT ABOUT JOSH BEING WORTHY OF LARRY!

Thanks for the reminder— often with these split seasons I forgotten what happened and what to look forward to—too bad it can't start sooner —- summer television is pretty dull and I wouldn't mind watching the last seven shows of season three now, instead of waiting for the middle of August.

I never saw the original shows (I was working, darn it), but I had heard all about it throughout the years, so when the new Dallas launched and I was able to see it, I was glad to check it out. Was I glad I did! It's been an amazing show, and I even got my 20-year-old son hooked on it (he loved Larry Hagman's JR almost as much as I did). We were so sad when he passed, but oh, what a great tribute to his memory, carrying on such an amazing show with a great, talented cast of… Read more »

Oh, can't wait. I love the new DALLAS. I hope season four renewal comes soon, and also they shouldn't break-up the seasons in half like this.
Can't wait.
Looking forward to Pamela recovering from her suicide attempt and getting revenge on John Ross, and Emma being kicked to the curb. Last season, John Ross took his wife for granted and he's gonna regret it. And still, despite all this, John Ross and Pamela are the most fun primetime couple I can think of.
I like this show so much more than I thought I would.

Dallas was such an iconic show in the 70s and 80s. Cynthia Cidre is a great producer and screenwriter. She has brought the best of the original show (Linda Gray, Patrick Duffy) with the fantastic new generation of talent. TNT must renew for Season 4! Hoping the ratings grow!
JJMiles
Any indication on who might be leaving Dallas TNT this season? The credits that aired tonight (9/15( indicated that "a Ewing would be killed" and I wonder who they would kill off?? I can't imagine any of them leaving the show. If it's a Ewing it's limited to Ann, Bobby, Sue Ellen, John Ross, Christopher or Pamela. I'm searching to see who's contract has not been renewed.

ABC and PEOPLE's 'The Story of Soaps': What Was Your Review Of It?
Tuesday's night airing of ABC and PEOPLE's two-hour special The Story of Soaps featured many notable daytime and primetime soap stars, past and present, clips from backstage to classic memorable moments, and some participants who were providing commentary on the erosion of the daytime soaps in our culture. Still others, maintained and realized that everything today is serialized from the news we watch, to some of Netflix's most binge-watchable series, and of course, the birth of reality-programming.
Throughout the airing of the special, The Story of Soaps was trending on Twitter and social media either at the #2, #3 or #4 spots for the entire duration of the broadcast presentation, and the cancelled and beloved All My Children was also at one point trending.
However, known soap writers, journalists, ardent fans, and actors of the genre, were all on Twitter last night live-tweeting their thoughts as the special went down, and there was definitely mixed reactions and reviews, when all was said and done.
What the special did not shy away from, but tackled, was Luke's rape of Laura at the campus disco on General Hospital. and how that moment now, as Genie Francis (Laura), so eloquently put, would be considered as 'date rape' in our culture. The series even included a pivotal moment where Laura addresses Luke (Tony Geary) about the rape years later, after helping Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) through her rape ordeal.
John Stamos (Ex-Blackie Parrish, GH) got a bevy of "Right On's!" for his comment that the soaps do not get the credit that they deserve and clearly came through as one of the soaps greatest supporters, as did former The Doctors and Knots Landing star, Alec Baldwin.
However, throughout the two-hours, Andy Cohen's commentary was thread throughout; mostly citing soap's demise and the creation of reality-programming and his "Real Housewives" franchise, that the special touted as the new soap operas. It continued on the narrative that people preferred to see real-life drama then made-up drama on a fictional soap. And while, that has been a trend in American culture for decades, the commentary came off as often out of place in a celebration of the soaps; and bringing in a lot of negativity to the special that soap fans were tired of hearing.
In a lighting rod moment, Cohen stated: "I know Susan Lucci doesn't agree with me, but I think that the Housewives have replaced soap operas because truth is stranger than fiction. Soaps became kind of unnecessary because you could do it with real people, and they're writing the drama themselves."
The special did also address the cancellations of All My Children and One Life to Live, (which many were not sure they were going to do – given this special was airing on ABC), where One Life's leading lady and six-time Daytime Emmy winner, Erika Slezak (Ex-Viki) said what we all wanted to sa ywhen the ax fell on the towns of Llanview and Pine Valley, "People were horrified".
Clearly, OJ Simpson and his murder trial and reality-programming were also given a chunk of time to show where the once mighty landscape of daytime soaps which once had 13 shows on the air, dwindled town to 4. But, it would have been nice to see more time spent on how in this day and age, the people in this current landscape of the genre work so hard to get episodes done at an unbelievable pace, and how in that climate the performers still deliver gut-wrenching performances.
Former Loving, OLTL and Breaking Bad star, Bryan Cranston, did point out how the once powerful soaps, just don't have the dollars they used to, and need to, to help with production costs and their taping schedule.
Viewers were reminded of soaps' socially relevant storylines including hankie-inducing moments from: Robin (Kimberly McCullough) and Stone's (Michael Sutton) HIV/AIDS storyline on General Hospital, to Billy Douglas being a gay teen coming out on One Life to Live, played by a young Ryan Phillippe.
There also did not seem time spent on the contributions of William J. Bell; one of the most prominent writers of the soap genre of all-time.
For many commenting on social media last night, there seemed to be a feeling of some glaring omissions of participants who could speak on this genre, who have been in the trenches as soap producers, soap writers, pundits, actors, and more, who were not included in the special.
So, what was your review of The Story of Soaps? How would you grade it? Do you feel it accurately reflected the history of the genre? Were you happily surprised, or when it came to the end where you over it, or somewhere in between? Sound off in the comment section below. Below are some tweets from notables who have worked as an actor, a writer, and a journalist in the soaps.
What started as a love letter kinda dissolved into a lover kicking you out of bed.
Ummm ok well I guess I appreciate the effort. But that definitely took a turn.🤷🏻♀😬🤪 #TheStoryofSoaps
— Chrishell (@Chrishell7) May 20, 2020
OMG so I'm still watching/catching up on #TheStoryofSoaps. Why does it suddenly feel like a death knell for the genre?! Why can't it be a celebration? We're hanging tough with no new episodes IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREAKING PANDEMIC! Why not celebrate our resilience? I'm done!
— Michele Val Jean (@MicheleValJean) May 20, 2020
Here's the thing: The reason we're down to 4 soaps is because network execs messed with time slots, cut budgets and interfered with storytelling. ABC can't admit that so they have to get @Andy to trash them. But #TheStoryofSoaps was still a fun watch. Long live #AMC, #OLTL & #GH! https://t.co/pqR0Gx3cnf

Senate backs bill to avert shutdown, boost military spending
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., flanked by Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., left, and Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, speaks with reporters following their weekly policy meetings, at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2018. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) –The Associated Press
MATTHEW DALY
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate on Tuesday approved a wide-ranging, $854 billion bill that funds the military and a host of civilian agencies for the next year and provides a short-term fix to keep the government open through early December.
The measure includes $675 billion for the Defense Department and boosts military pay by 2.6 percent, the largest pay raise in nine years. The bill also approves spending for Health and Human Services, Education, Labor and other agencies, including a 5 percent boost for the National Institutes of Health.
Senators approved the bill 93-7. The measure now goes to the House, where lawmakers are expected to approve it next week, days ahead of a Sept. 30 deadline for a government shutdown.
The stopgap bill would not address President Donald Trump's long-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. GOP leaders have said they'd prefer to resolve the issue after the Nov. 6 elections.
The Senate vote comes as House and Senate negotiators work to approve a separate spending bill that would pay for the Interior, Agriculture, Transportation and other departments, as well as the Treasury and federal courts.
When combined with a measure approved last week, the three compromise spending bills would account for nearly 90 percent of annual federal spending, including the military and most civilian agencies.
Senate Appropriations Chairman Richard Shelby, R-Ala., called the bill approved Tuesday historic, noting that the package boosts funding for medical research and the opioid epidemic while providing troops with the largest pay raise in nearly a decade.
"We are making real progress here" in approving spending bills before the new budget year begins Oct. 1, Shelby said. "We are going to make the appropriations trains run again."
The focus on agency-level spending bills marks a departure from recent years, when Congress routinely ignored individual spending measures in favor of giant "omnibus" spending packages that fund the entire government all at once — often after the new budget year had begun.
The Senate had not passed a spending bill covering Labor or Health in more than a decade before approving one last month.
Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations panel, said he was pleased that the compromise bill eliminates contentious policy riders that he and other lawmakers call "poison pills." Such riders frequently lead to a spending bill's defeat even as lawmakers from both parties agree on a vast majority of spending priorities.
"We did our job and focused on what we should be doing — making responsible, thoughtful decisions about how to fund these federal agencies and leaving controversial policy issues out of it," Leahy said in a refrain that has become familiar on the Senate floor in recent weeks as Leahy, Shelby and other leaders fend off partisan proposals.
Utah Sen. Mike Lee, a conservative Republican, blasted the bill for failing to address right-to-life issues.
"For the second straight year of unified Republican governance — unified pro-life governance — Congress's annual spending bills will include no new reforms protecting unborn children, or getting federal taxpayers out of the abortion business," Lee said.
Despite Lee's comments, under long-standing law and regulations, federal funds cannot be used to pay for abortions, except in cases of rape, incest or when the woman's life is endangered. Planned Parenthood, a major provider of health care services, receives federal family-planning grants and separately provides abortions.
The bill approved Tuesday provides $147.9 billion for military equipment and upgrades. Of that figure, $24.2 billion will go toward 13 Navy ships, including two Virginia-class submarines and three fast-moving littoral combat ships. The relatively small ships are intended to operate in congested areas near the shore against small boats and mines.
The bill also includes $9.3 billion for 93 new F-35 aircraft and more than $4 billion for Black Hawk, Apache and other helicopters.
The 5 percent boost for NIH is the fourth-straight significant increase for the biomedical research agency. The measure would hike spending for Alzheimer's research to more than $2.3 billion, essentially quadrupling spending levels from four years ago on a disease that requires hundreds of billions of dollars for dementia-related care.
The bill also would provide a $206 million increase for treatment of opioid addiction, bringing spending to $3.8 billion to confront the issue. It would also boost spending for the Head Start preschool program and increase maximum Pell Grants for college education.
The bill extends the Violence Against Women Act through Dec. 7. The law promotes investigation and prosecution of violent crimes against women, including domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking.

Is your baby taking naps | Sleep Consultant Expert For Babies and Toddlers . .
Taking naps is extremely important for your baby!
Like early rising, it takes time to alter napping habits. In general, naps are also more difficult for children to master. Is your baby taking naps at all or have a difficult time to snooze during the day? If babies don't know how to fall asleep on their own for naps and to stay asleep for more than 30 minutes, parents may find naps stressful and sometimes uncertain. This is where being patient and positive is key. It takes time and consistency to teach your baby how to have great naps.
1) If your baby is not getting the sleep they need, they are most likely overtired. A well-rested baby will take longer naps, go down easier at bedtime and wake up less easily during the night. On the other end, an overtired baby will wake up more often and have a hard time going down at bedtime.
You may think you read that wrong! You didn't. Children do not react to sleep deprivation the way adults do. Adults get sleepy, while babies and toddlers tend to get hyperactive.
2) Napping can be difficult if the awake time between each nap is too short or too long. A 6-8 month old baby should be awake for 2 to 3 hours between each nap. A 9-15 month old baby should be awake for 3- 3 ½ hours and a 18 month/ old baby and older, should take one nap mid-day, for about 2- 2 ½ hours. If they are awake for too long or for a too short period of time, they may have a difficult time falling asleep. I suggest you write a sleep log to see any sleep patterns your baby has. This will help you start to create a consistent nap schedule.
3) The room environment may also contribute to the fact your baby is not napping well. If your baby is younger than 4 months old, swaddle them. Make sure the room is dark enough, use a white noise machine and dress them comfortably. Is your baby taking naps? Comment on this post and I can help you.
4) They may have a medical condition which prevents them from napping and sleeping well at night. If they have reflux, asthma or sleep apnea, it definitely can affect nap and night sleep. Always talk to your pediatrician to rule out any sleep concerns you may have. If your baby is healthy and your child doctor is positive, they should be able to sleep through the night. Consult a sleep professional to support your baby to take better naps.
5) One last reason why your baby is not napping well, may be because they are using a sleep crutch, such as being rocked, nursed or patted to sleep. Once again this can be addressed with sleep training. The best thing you can do is focus on mastering bedtime, and with consistency and patience, naps will follow. Once your baby knows how to self-soothe and can fall back to sleep on their own at night, it will be easier to transfer that skill to naptime.
I hope this was helpful and that you got tools to support your child to nap better and longer.
When in doubt, call me at 702-355-5082 and I will be happy to guide and help you and your child through the journey.

TV Drama Script Writing: minor characters, ideology, and the illusion of depth
In my previous blog post for the TV Drama Script Writing workshop in Ethiopia, I promised to critique Robert McKee's emphasis on the "inciting incident" and the "gap between expectation and result" as the basis for dramatic action. Although I agree with these two points, in my opinion McKee seems too interested in the authenticity of the story and not interested enough in its illusory qualities. As a result of his bias, the many examples of movies he talks about in his book Story: Substance, Structure, Style, and the Principles of Screenwriting are mostly straight dramas and suspense thrillers. He has little to say about comedies or about dramas that are self-consciously ironic. In fact, he has surprisingly little to say about humor or irony in general. He also has little to say about the problem of ideology and issues of race, gender, class, and nation when creating characters. The new movie Hugo, by the famous director Martin Scorsese, highlights how the art of making movies is more similar to the art of magic than the art of truth. My argument today is that complexity and depth are illusions. Minor characters play an important role in creating that illusion, as one purpose of minor characters is to give depth to the major character. And this relation between major and minor characters does not necessarily reflect the reality of the subject matter or the biases of the author. Rather, the TV or film aims to reproduce imaginary relations in our daily lives. Such is the ideological aspect of TV and film and the moral responsibility of writers and directors.
First, what do I mean when I say that depth is illusory? To give an example, I want to start with one of the most classic early films, City Lights, by Charlie Chaplin. The main story is about a poor, homeless tramp who falls in love with a blind flower girl. At the beginning of the film, she mistakenly believes that he is a rich man. Because he is in love with the blind flower girl, he tries to become the person that she thinks he is. Over the course of the film, he encounters a real rich man who is benevolent to him when drunk, but stingy and cruel when sober. You can watch the whole film by clicking [here], but below I've inserted a brief YouTube clip of the famous philosopher and film critic from Slovenia, Slavoj Zizek, talking about it:
What gives the tramp's character depth and complexity? Is it the real details of his life? Is it his background as a member of what Karl Marx called the lumpenproletariat? Certainly, I think writers ought to do a lot of research to get background information for their characters, but in fact, we see very little realistic information in Chaplin's film. What gives the tramp depth is not his real background. The details of his life are unimportant. Rather, what gives the tramp complexity and depth is what the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan calls misrecognition. The tramp is consistently in the "wrong place" at the wrong time — first sleeping on the new statue during a ceremony and then being mistaken for a rich man by the blind girl. It is this humorous case of mistaken identity and out-of-placeness that gives him depth. In other words, it is not true identity that gives a character depth; rather, it is the audience's ironic awareness of mistaken identity and the way other characters react to him that gives him depth. The blindness of the flower girl is a metaphor for the matter of perspective and the instability of identity that is the meaning of the film.
Now let's look briefly at the first scene of the third episode of NYPD Blue, which we watched for today's workshop. (If you don't know the show, you can read brief summaries of all the episodes [here].) Officer Janis Licalsi's father walks in the door. He confesses to her that he is one of the cops indicted on corruption charges. This is simple enough. But what gives the scene its power and depth is when he then continues to misrecognize his daughter. He believes that she is innocent and good. He tells her that he is proud of her. In response, she falters and can not reveal to him that the mafia has already used her. She can't say anything because she already knew he was a "wrong cop," and she knows that because she has also become a "wrong cop" in order to protect him. Her silence and inability to respond to his recognition is what gives her depth. Other moments of misrecognition continue throughout the first act of the episode. Detective Kelly misunderstands Licalsi's motivation. Later, Detective Sipowicz misunderstands his boss Lieutenant Fancy's motivation and even blames Fancy's African-American racial identity. The sub-plot of this particular episode is about a mother who refuses to recognize the truth that her two sons are drug addicts and have killed her next door neighbor while trying to rob her. Each different scene of the first act of this episode shows a different misrecognition. The misrecognition is the "inciting incident" that destabilizes the character and gives the story its drive. The second act develops each of these misrecognitions as the characters attempt to understand each other's true identities. The final act is the reconciliation when the characters overcome their prejudices and come to terms with each other.
If we think of characterization as an illusion — more like magic than like truth — then one of the tricks of illusion is misrecognition. It produces dramatic irony and causes the audience to want the misunderstanding to be corrected and resolved. It also causes the audience to believe that there is more to the character than the surface. If one character misunderstands another character, and the audience is made aware of this misunderstanding, then the audience suspects there must be a lot more depth to that character. The audience never actually has to find out the details of that depth. The misunderstanding is enough to give the illusion that depth is there.
But what of the role of minor characters? In simple stories, minor characters rarely have depth. So, in the case of Officer Licalsi's father mentioned above, his character is rather simple, and his function in the episode is to give her character complexity and depth. Hence, the complexity of the main character always requires several minor characters, and likewise, the major plot arc always requires several minor plot arcs. These minor characters and sub-plots help to establish the personality of the major characters. Sometimes a minor plot helps develop the major plot, but sometimes it is just a distraction that gets in the way of the major character and prevents him or her from pursuing the primary goal. However it functions, it should always give complexity and depth to the main story.
The danger is that the relation between major and minor characters is often an ideological relation. Which characters are given depth and which aren't? Why is one character's point of view more valued than another's? We might think of Tom Stoppard's absurdist play Rozencrantz and Guildernstearn Are Dead that re-tells Shakespeare's Hamlet from the point of view of two minor characters. Or we might think of Robert Altman's movie Gosford Park which at first appears to be a typical Agatha-Christie-style murder mystery about upper-class people at a country estate, but instead focuses entirely on the depth of the servants. If we go back in time to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in American literature, white male characters in novels, plays, and movies were always given the illusion of depth. Often black minor characters functioned only to give depth to the white character. As the Nobel-prize winning American novelist Toni Morrison argued in her book Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination, the black character usually functioned to make the white character look good. In other words, if the author wanted the reader to admire the bravery, intelligence, or kindness of the white protagonist, then the author included a cowardly, stupid, or selfish black character as a point of contrast or object of pity. Morrison argues that centuries of literature repeated such "misrecognitions," and so such literary stereotypes contributed to a racist ideology. More recently, the Kenyan writer Binyavanga Wainaina made a similar point in his sarcastic satirical essay, "How to Write about Africa" that parodies the prejudices of American and European journalists. Likewise, in Ethiopia, what if all the central and complex characters of a story belonged to one ethnic group, and all the minority characters with little depth belonged to other ethnic groups? Or what if the protagonist was always upper class or always a male, and never poor or never a female?
A good TV drama will overcome such prejudicial stereotypes by drawing attention to the misrecognition through dramatic irony. As I mentioned before, one of the things I like about NYPD Blue is how it shifts perspective from Detective Kelly's point of view to Officer Licalsi's point of view. At the beginning of the show, Licalsi is a minor character who simply contrasts with Kelly. Feminist film criticism has often pointed out that female characters function in simplistic, sexist movies as nothing more than complements to the male protagonist. But eventually, because both Kelly and her father misrecognize her, she becomes a truly complex character who struggles with difficult ethical dilemmas. Her out-of-placeness is the "inciting incident" that drives the plot, and as a result she becomes the most interesting character in the show.
Another way to think about this has been beautifully expressed by the famous Nigerian novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in her TED lecture, "The Danger of a Single Story." I have inserted her lecture into my blog here:
Her lecture begins with a story about herself as a young writer trying to imitate European writers. Her lecture exposes a basic misrecognition about her own identity and the identity of "literature" itself. But in the context of television, it also reveals a danger. If the television show uses minor characters only to help create the illusion of depth in the major characters, then it risks producing a dangerous ideology that values some individuals and degrades others. Adichie emphasizes the moral responsibility of writers to tell the points of view of many different people. There are many ways to tell such human stories. One way is through dramatic irony that reveals misrecognition, as I mentioned above. Another way is that the "inciting incident" of a story brings two individuals together who normally don't know each other. This is the basis for the famous movie The Breakfast Club which puts five high school students of very different backgrounds in the same room, and the audience watches them overcome their prejudices and get to know each other. Likewise, one of the appeals of the detective story genre is that the detective's job is to cross social boundaries (e.g., class, race, gender, nation, religion, etc.) and discover the truth. Finally, another way to reveal misrecognition is through postmodern irony or parody that draws attention to the illusion of the dominant stereotypes and the artificiality of film in order to make space for alternative stories and minority points of view. The concepts "point of view" and the artificiality of the filmic "frame" and the "sound-image" will be the subject of the next workshop.

Passengers on a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country other than the country of origin are advised that the provisions of a treaty known as the Warsaw Convention may be applicable to the entire journey, including any portion entirely within the country of origin or destination. For such pasengers on a journey to, from, or with an agred stopping place in the United States of America, the Convetion and special contracts of carriage embodied in applicable tariffs provide that the liability of certain carriers, parties to such special contracts, for death of or personal injury to passengers is limited in most cases to proven damages not to exceed USD75,000 per passenger, and that this liability up to such limit shall not depend on negligence on the part of the carrier.
For such passengers travelling by a carrier not a party to such special contracts or on a journey not to, from, or having an agreed stopping place in the United States of America, liability of the carrier for death or personal injury to passengers is limited in most cases to approximately USC10,000 or USD20,000. The names of carriers, parties to such special contracts are available at all ticket offices os such carriers and may be examined on request. Additional protection can usually be obtained by purchasing insurance from a private company. Such insurance is not affected by any limitation of the carrier's liability under the Warsaw Convention or such special contract of carriage.

You may also re required to pay taxes, fees and charges not already collected.
Touts are major problems at some of our Airports in Nigeria, and FirstNation supports the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) campaign against touting. Some Airlines have also unprofessionally engaged touts as sales canvassers by giving touts Airline Identification Cards, this practice is illegal. Passengers are also partly responsible for the menace, if passengers refuse to patronize or deal with touts, they will be assisting us in dealing with this severe security risk.
Touts misrepresent facts by creating artificial panic that FirstNation flights are full in order to extort money from passengers. Passengers are not required to pay for boarding pass, taxes or additional airports charges, as these charges are already included in the airfare paid. Please refuse strongly to make additional payments.
Please, buy your tickets in advance by visiting www.flyfirstnation.com to avoid the rush at the airport and reduce the harassment by touts. Do not deal with touts; help us rid our Airport of touts. Please approach our counter or demand to see the Station Manager for Airport assistance. FirstNation will not accept responsibility for any passenger dealing with touts.

EXCLUSIVE: Session Moth Martina Explains Her Decision To Not Join NXT UK, Talks OTT, Becky Lynch, More
Former two-time OTT Women's Champion Session Moth Martina spoke with POST Wrestling's Andrew Thompson about her decision to not join NXT UK, her OTT and ICW Women's Title reigns, state of the independent scene in the UK, Becky Lynch and much more.
February 11, 2020 Andrew Thompson NEWS, RECOMMENDED
The sport of pro wrestling has had many talents that have hailed from Ireland and found a great deal of success in the sport. Velvet McIntyre, Becky Lynch, Sheamus, Jordan Devlin, Finn Balor, Fit Finlay and more names that went unmentioned, and another talent who is looking to cement herself as one of the top wrestlers to come out of Ireland is former two-time OTT Women's Champion Session Moth Martina.
Martina hails from Dublin and has competed all over the United Kingdom throughout her time in the business. This past September, after a successful WrestleMania week in April of 2019, Ring of Honor signed Session Moth Martina and she made her in-ring debut for the company at 'Free Enterprise' in Baltimore, Maryland. Prior to the event, I had the opportunity to speak with Martina and she reflected on her OTT and ICW Women's Title reigns. She only held the ICW Women's Title for one day before losing it to current NXT U.K. star Piper Niven. Although her reign was for one day, Martina still looks back on it fondly and also talked about how OTT will always be her home although she is not currently involved in their women's division because of her busy schedule that she has recently taken on.
"Oh, 100 percent. OTT is my home promotion. It's what made me what I am. It's what got me everywhere in the world. Winning that first women's belt because I was the first woman in OTT and for such a long time, the only woman in OTT. It was such a great… like it'll always be there for me, even though I've moved on and I'm not really in the women's division there anymore because I've just gone on to other things and there's just loads of girls coming up and doing it. It's great for them. It's just nice that I have that little bit of cemented history because I have been there since the start, but OTT is my home, my heart is there completely, and obviously ICW, I had a great little reign there as well so hopefully I get back there someday."
Martina has spent a great deal of time in Japan as a part of STARDOM. She debuted with the company in 2018 and joined the Oedo Tai stable. In October, it was announced that New Japan Pro-Wrestling's parent company, Bushiroad was acquiring STARDOM and just three months later, STARDOM was represented on night one of Wrestle Kingdom 14 in a dark match as Mayu Iwatani and Arisa Hoshiki defeated Hana Kimura and Giulia.
Martina shared her thoughts about Bushiroad acquiring STARDOM and the possibilities that exist because of that. She also expressed that STARDOM had something great going prior to the Bushiroad deal so she doesn't think STARDOM needs New Japan, but she's interested in the possibility of getting to share the ring with Toru Yano and/or Minoru Suzuki.
"100 percent. I think it was such a great — at the end of the day, the way I see it is, even though it was dark, it was still 40,000 people from Japan seeing STARDOM so now, more eyes are on STARDOM and that's the goal at the end of the day because these girls are insanely talented. They're the best in the world. So, at the end of the day, that's what I think. Like baby steps. One day we might get on the pay-per-view, one day there might be a STARDOM match but at the end of the day, STARDOM, it does have its own company, so it doesn't need New Japan either. I think they're both independent of each other. It's great that they're working together but if New Japan could help STARDOM, STARDOM could help New Japan, they should just work together with that. I was there to see it and it was surreal. It was just amazing seeing a promotion I work for on such a big stage, on Wrestle Kingdom. It was amazing, and obviously, the idea [that] there's speculation that there might be crossovers and obviously, the dream match is me and [Toru] Yano. Me and Yano, that is my dream match. I need to either tag with Yano or face Yano. One or the other, or me against [Minoru] Suzuki. One of them has to happen, so we'll just keep nagging New Japan until they provide."
In the Summer of 2019, Session Moth Martina was a part of the first all-female tryout for the NXT U.K. brand. Martina was invited back but ultimately decided not to sign with WWE. She explained that the experience went well and several of her friends are in NXT UK so she felt comfortable. The reason she didn't join is because she was not ready to give up the freedom that she has – traveling on her own time, continuing to take her character in the direction that she sees fit among other benefits that may not exist if she decided to join WWE's UK brand.
"The NXT UK tryout was really fun. It was the first-ever all-female tryout. So yeah, that was great, and I really enjoyed the experience, I felt like it went really well. Yeah, it was quite great getting to train [at] the U.K. P.C. and I got asked to stay on and do an extra week of training just to see the current signees and stuff, and a lot of my friends work there so I felt very comfortable straight away. I just felt like, at that time I guess, it just wasn't the right direction for me. I mean, it would've been a great opportunity to start something new, but I felt like just for me right now, [I] just didn't really want to give up the amount of travel that I get to do at the moment and I have a lot of freedom as it is right now. I've been to Australia this year, America, Japan. I'm just not really ready to [give that up]. I've put a lot into my character over the last five years and I just felt like Ring of Honor was a better fit for my character and what I wanted to do with my character, and I just felt like it was gonna be a bit safer here. It just felt like a better fit."
There have been varying opinions about the state of the independent scene in the United Kingdom since the arrival of NXT UK. Multiple promotions have closed their doors because some of the top stars on the scene have joined WWE or went elsewhere and are only permitted to work certain shows outside of the company they're contracted to.
The likes of Pete Dunne, Jimmy Havoc, Trent Seven, Justin Sysum and a plethora of other U.K. staples have weighed in on the conversation. Session Moth Martina gave her thoughts on the discussion and feels that NXT U.K. has left a bit of hole in the independent scene, but from that, there arises an opportunity for other talents to step up and take those spots and further establish themselves. In regard to NXT UK, Martina stated that if people are making money, happy with their decision and are able to turn their dream into a full-time job, then she has no issue with it.
"Well, obviously at the end of the day, I think it's great that… I mean, people making money. At the end of the day, I think people start this wrestling with the hopeful goal of making it a job, which they have delivered to these people so I think when they started — when they start, they want to be secure, so at the end of the day, it's a dream job for a lot of these people, so I think the people should be happy for them, and I do think maybe there's not enough room. There's only so much airtime that they do so it is a bit over-crowded and stuff like that but at the end of the day, if this is what these people want, if this is what these people work towards, I'm really happy for them. As long as they're happy with their exposure and everything like that, that's all that matters and at the end of the day, time goes on and there's always new people coming up to fill these gaps and after they go on to get signed, there will be more people coming up to fill those gaps and it'll just keep going as it is and I think it's a wheel and it won't stop turning so I think it's great for everybody."
Martina is also a former OTT Gender Neutral Champion. Much like the NXT U.K. conversations, there are varying thoughts and opinions about it [inter-gender wrestling]. Martina is a huge advocate for inter-gender wrestling and shared that-that match type is the one that she has competed in the most. Her latest inter-gender match took place earlier this month for OTT against fellow Ring of Honor star Mark Haskins. Martina made it clear that she'll always go to bat for inter-gender wrestling and she wants to do it in ROH as well.
"I'm a huge advocate for inter-gender wrestling. It's kind of the majority of wrestling that I do-do. At home in OTT, I do a lot of it. I feel like it's a contact sport where equal wrestling is wrestling. I go into a match expecting to be hit as hard as a man would be hit. I don't feel like wrestling needs a gender. I don't see why we can't work together and put on a match and there's so much story there. I'm 100 percent behind it. I'll fight it to the ground. I'll fight it to death. Hopefully one day, my dream for Ring of Honor is to do more of it as well. That would be my dream for everything. I love inter-gender wrestling."
Several years ago, a fellow Ireland native, RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch reached out to Session Moth Martina to show support. Becky Lynch climbed to the top of the mountain in WWE in 2019 when she along with Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey main-evented WrestleMania 35 and Lynch closed the night by capturing the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championships.
Session Moth Martina is very proud of Becky Lynch and how far Lynch has come. She shared that Becky asked her if there was anything she could do, such as getting Martina looked at by WWE. Martina knows that Lynch did not have to go the extra mile for her and she appreciates her for it.
"It was amazing. I remember years ago, a few years ago, she reached out and she was like, 'It's great what you're doing. Is there anyway I can help you maybe get looked at by WWE?' And I was like, the fact that she doesn't need to go out of her way to do that for me and she just really liked everything that I was doing which was so sweet, and even having her now say, 'Oh, I think she's doing great' and she's genuinely the biggest thing in wrestling right now which is amazing that this girl from Ballyfermot, or like Dublin City Centre is like the top star in Ireland or in the world, it's amazing. So yeah, she's so sweet and anytime I see her, I just get goosebumps. I'm so proud of what she's doing. It's amazing."
To wrap up our interview, Martina talked about how busy WrestleMania week is for an independent wrestler. Last year in New York, Martina worked a STARDOM show, Destiny World Wrestling and Fight Club: PRO's joint event, WrestleCon and a Game Changer Wrestling show. This year, Martina will be a part of Ring of Honor's Supercard Of Honor show in Lakeland, Florida during WrestleMania 36 weekend but with that, she is also looking forward to attending shows that her friends will be on and having a few beverages while at those shows.
"That's my favorite part about WrestleMania week. Literally everybody I've met over the last year is all in one place and if you're on one show with one person, you'll see another person… obviously you don't get much time to chill, because I remember I was running to this show, running to this show, running to this show, and I was on my own as well so I was like, 'Oh yeah, see you guys at this show.' I remember I was at a party for like half an hour and I was like, 'No, I gotta go. Gotta go to Spring Break.' It was great though. It was such a good experience and it really helped get my name out there which was the best part about it, and I'll miss it like this year but I'm excited to just kind of go and chill, and enjoy the vibe. I'll go see my friends at shows now. Like, 'Hey, I'm gonna get drunk at your show,' so a lot more alcohol this time so it'll be better."
Session Moth Martina scored the win in her first match in Ring of Honor over the first-ever Women Of Honor Champion Sumie Sakai. Also during the interview, Martina talked about her 2017 OTT WrestleRama entrance and the documentary that Thinkhouse did about her.

There's Already a "Recall Diane Douglas" Facebook Group
Posted By Dan Gibson on Mon, Nov 10, 2014 at 5:00 PM
Diane Douglas hasn't taken office yet - she only just locked down the election after David Garcia ran out of possible votes to tip things his way - but hey, her apparent deep lack of qualifications and disdain for education itself has already spawned a social media call for her recall, with 789 signers-on as I write this.
Unfortunately for our state's educational system (but fortunately for Ms. Douglas' checking account), recalls can't be filed against officeholders until they've been on the job six months, but conveniently, the Secretary of State's office has a helpful guide already created to guide citizens through the process. Study up, because it won't be easy:
Every public officer in the state of Arizona, holding an elective office, either by election or appointment, is subject to recall from such office by the qualified electors of the electoral district from which candidates are elected to such office. Such electoral district may include the whole state. Such number of said electors as shall equal twenty-five per centum of the number of votes cast at the last preceding general election for all of the candidates for the office held by such officer, may by petition, which shall be known as a recall petition, demand his recall.
As of nowish, 1,432,178 votes have been counted in the Superintendent of Public Instruction race (and there are still some to be counted), so a recall would need around 400,000 signatures (and probably a few more to ward off a signature challenge) to be successful. Not an easy task, by any measure.
Still, considering Douglas is already backing down FROM THE ONE ISSUE SHE RAN ON, maybe Republicans would be inclined to help give her the boot as well:
Her single issue is Common Core standards, yet she told KTAR radio over the weekend, "We have standards now that we can't control, we can't change and we can't make sure that they work for Arizona." In other words, regarding the one issue on which she campaigned, she admits she has zero control over it.
Douglas is scheduled to take office on January 5, so the recall can be begin on July 5. Mark your calendars.

Here are some of the questions customers commonly ask Sky, as well as their answers.
How do I set up Sky TV?
If you have just upgraded your Sky box to another model, you can set up your new device in a few steps. Switch off your existing set top box and then pull out the power cable as well as the SCART and HDMI cables that connect it to the TV. You should then unscrew and remove the satellite cables from the dish's input port at the back of the Sky box. Next, unplug the telephone line from your Sky box and remove the viewing card. You will then follow the instructions provided to connect your new box to your television.
My Sky TV remote is not working – how do I fix it?
If you have already checked to make sure your batteries don't need replacing and it is set to the correct mode, you may be experiencing a problem with your Sky TV remote may be experiencing a problem. You can reset it by pressing and holding the 'select' button for 30 seconds once the batteries are removed. Replace the batteries once this is done and press the 'sky' button. If this still hasn't fixed the issue, you can order a new one or speak to a Sky customer service adviser.
You can switch to Sky broadband from BT, TalkTalk, PlusNet, Virgin Media and many more providers. Sky have a dedicated Switch Squad whose job is to make this process as painless for customers as possible. They will arrange the installation of a phone line for you, or turn on one that is currently inactive. You may need to contact your existing provider for a Migration Authorisation Code when you place an order with Sky. Sky, however, will cancel your service with a provider for you — unless it's with Virgin Broadband which customers must do themselves.
My Sky telephone is having problems – what should I do?
If you are not receiving phone calls or are having trouble making them, there may be an issue with your local telephone network. You can visit Sky's service status page to find out if this is the case. If not, you should check to see if there is a dial tone or not. No dial tone means that a phone might have been pulled from the socket or damaged. You might want to unplug and re-plug all the equipment connected to the phone line to attempt to fix the issue. If you still can't use the phone, call a Sky customer service adviser.
I'm moving home and want to retain my Sky services – what do I need to know?
You can organise a Sky Home Move by calling Sky. You will need to book the service at least 90 days in advance.
Having a Sky engineer set up Sky TV at a new address will require a small one off payment that covers the installation of your dish and box, running cables inside and outside your home, and connecting the boxes to a standard master phone socket. Your Sky TV should work as soon as this is complete. You will need to make your remote controls and viewing cars in order for everything to work.
You can also move your telephone and broadband services over to a new home. You will not be able to take an existing phone number with you though, and the broadband speed you were receiving at your old address may not necessarily be the same. A Sky advisor will be able to estimate the speed at a new property.
You will not be able to move home with Sky services if you have any overdue payments on your account.

Amissville ( ) is an unincorporated community in Rappahannock County in the U.S. commonwealth of Virginia. It is located on U.S. Route 211 about halfway between Warrenton and the small town of Washington, Virginia.

The Locust Grove/R.E. Luttrell Farmstead and Meadow Grove Farm are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

History
The land on which the village of Amissville is now situated was part of the 5.3 million acre Northern Neck Proprietary owned in the 1700s by Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron. In 1649 King Charles II of England, then in exile in France after the execution of his father, Charles I, had given this unmapped and unsettled region to seven loyal supporters. By 1688 the proprietary was owned solely by Thomas Lord Culpeper whose only child married Thomas 5th Lord Fairfax in 1690. They acquired the proprietary on the death of Lord Culpeper and the region became synonymous with the Fairfax name. In 1719, Thomas 6th Lord Fairfax inherited the land. During 1747 to 1766, Lord Fairfax granted land that encompassed the area of today's Amissville to five individuals: Thomas Burk received 200 acres, Samuel Scott received 270 acres and 470 acres, James Genn received two grants of 400 acres each, Gabriel Jones received 380 acres, and Philip Edward Jones received 452 acres. It is widely believed that individuals with surnames Amiss and Bayse received land grants from Lord Fairfax in the Amissville area. However, there are no grants to anyone with these surnames recorded in the Virginia Colonial land grant books maintained by the Library of Virginia. Rather, Joseph Amiss and Edmond Bayse purchased existing land grants. On 14 July 1766 Joseph Amiss purchased, for 40 pounds, the 380 acres that had been granted to Gabriel Jones. On 15 October 1770 Edmond Bayse purchased, for 90 pounds, the 800 acres that had been granted to James Genn. On 1 July 1794, Joseph Amiss distributed his land and slaves as gifts to his three living sons William, Philip, and Thomas, and his grandsons William (son of William) and John (son of Thomas). In return, Joseph and his wife Constant were given a life estate to the property (10)Constant is believed to have been a daughter of Gabriel Jones. The sons and grandsons and their children purchased additional land in the Amissville area. On 20 April 1778, Edmond Bayse gave his son Elijamon 190 acres of the 800 acres that Edmond had acquired in 1770. This was the northern part of the 800 acres, located adjacent to today's Route 211. Although Elijamon sold this land in 1789, he and his children acquired other land in the Amissville area and became major landowners. The post office was established on 2 October 1810, with Thomas Amiss as its first postmaster. In 1854, Amissville was described as a small post-village with about 75 inhabitants.

US Civil War
Amissville is near the site of a minor action on July 24, 1863, involving George A. Custer's Michigan Brigade of cavalry following the Confederate loss at Gettysburg.  Longstreet's corps and Gen. A. P. Hill's corps were retreating from Pennsylvania through the Chester Gap and south on the Richmond Road towards Culpeper. Custer and his troops traveled from their headquarters and camp near Amissville and attacked with cavalry and artillery from the southern slope of Battle Mountain (about 5 miles southwest of the village), but his forces were vastly outnumbered and after a brisk and severe fight, forced to retreat north and east over Battle Mountain back to Amissville. Two of Custer's men were awarded the Medal of Honor in 1893 for their part in capturing Confederate artillery at Battle Mountain. Battle Mountain and Little Battle Mountain were named not for the military engagement but for the Bataille family which lived near the two elevations in the 1700s. Bataille was later corrupted to Battle Mountain and Little Battle Mountain, the names they bear today.

Amissville was also the site of a sharp cavalry fight in November 1862, at Corbin's Crossroads, when Gen. J.E.B. Stuart's Confederate cavalry were heading to Culpeper County following the Battle of Antietam in Maryland. At Corbin's crossroads, during the fight, Gen. Stuart narrowly escaped death when he turned his head and a Union bullet clipped off half of his moustache. The site of the engagement is about 3/4 of a mile south of the present village of Amissville.

In late August 1862, Gen. Stuart and his cavalry were scouting around Maj. Gen. John Pope's Federal Army of Virginia, elements of which were moving towards Thoroughfare Gap in Fauquier County. Gen. Stuart and his cavalry reached Amissville on August 22, and turned back to surround Pope's army. In an attack near Catlett's Station, Gen. Stuart's men captured Gen. Pope's overcoat and military papers.

Climate
The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Amissville has a humid subtropical climate, abbreviated "Cfa" on climate maps.

Geology

The geology of Amissville and the surrounding vicinity consists of several units. Predominant and oldest (approximately 704 million years old, +/- 5 million years, based on the U-Pb zircon geochronology dating method, coinciding with the initial rifting of the supercontinent Rodinia) is the Neoproterozoic alkali feldspar granitic rock of the Robertson River Igneous Suite. This includes felsic complex material such as biotite, hornblende-biotite, magnetite, and alkali granitic rock including rhyolite on the eastern slopes of Battle Mountain and Little Battle Mountain.

Battle Mountain and Little Battle Mountain are the only mountains in Rappahannock County which are known to be volcanic in origin, and are among the oldest visibly intact extinct volcanoes in Virginia. White quartz boulders and smaller fragments are common on and around Battle Mountain, a result of molten silica that was contained in the rhyolite lava and granitic magma that formed the volcano.

The Robertson River Igneous Suite extends from south of Laurel Mills (originating near Charlottesville) and runs north-northeast through Hackleys Crossroad and beyond in a band approximately four kilometers wide. Precambrian coarse leucogneiss and fine-grained gneiss prevails from the eastern edge of the Amissville, Rappahannock County area from north of the Amissville post office and U.S. Route 211 and south to Viewtown. Flint Hill Gneiss, a light to dark-gray quartz monzonite gneiss is predominate from Ben Venue and west to Massies Corner and extending further into Rock Mills and the town of Washington, Virginia.

A fine-grained Precambrian arkosic sandstone and conglomerate, which Aaron Mountain is composed of, occurs on the contact between the Flint Hill Gneiss starting approximately two kilometers west of Laurel Mills and running north-northeast along a narrow band (starting out at approximately 1 kilometer wide and tapering down to 100 meters) in contact with the Robertson River Igneous Suite, terminating just south of U.S. Route 211. The creeksides and river bottoms of the Thorton River, Battle Run and the Rappahannock River and their smaller tributaries are all composed of Quaternary Period alluvium including stratified, unconsolidated gray to grayish-yellow sand, silt and local gravels.

I had seen this book mentioned quite often since its release and always in a positive light, so I thought I would see what the fuss was all about. Though I didn't actually know what the book was about.
Sometimes I like starting a book with no prior knowledge, especially as some blurbs can be misleading and I have been very disappointed before now because I read a book based on the blurb.
The library did not have a long queue of customers waiting for this book, I guess my area haven't heard about it yet, therefore it arrived within 2 days of me requesting it and I dove straight into it.
Immediately I was captured by Bell's writing style, so unique, lyrical, visceral, like he wrote exactly as he was thinking with no restraints of correct form or structure.
However, his writing style wasn't just lyrical, it was so descriptive, so rich, bringing strong, vivid images to your mind, like the one below that made me a little nauseous!
and this one that is a perfect example of Bell's descriptions throughout the book that bought forth many horrifying images into my head!
I could not stop reading because the writing drew me into the story in such a way that I could feel the husband's pain, smell the rotten flesh, fear the dark as if I was him or inside him, like his fingerling son.
If I got distracted reading this, I would be surprised by my surroundings which, I feel, is always a sign you are thoroughly enjoying yourself!
I was nearly finished with this book and quite prepared to say that this is a magnificent piece of work, however, there is one thing that stops me from saying that. The story did drag on a little bit towards the end, and I'm probably not quite clever enough to fully grasp exactly what the writer was trying to say, so I felt a little confused by the ending.
I would read this book over and over again though as I just am so in love with his writing style and am hugely envious!

(Natural News) It's hard to believe that anyone would support tyranny over liberty, but sadly, millions of Americans across the country do. For the most part, this embrace of an all-powerful totalitarian state like the one described in George Orwell's 1984 comes from the progressive left, who are committed to destroying everything from the freedom of speech, to states' rights, to the right to bear arms. It's unfortunate that they don't realize how precious individual liberty really is, and how the type of fundamental transformation that they so desperately want to achieve has failed everywhere it has been tried.
Slowly but surely, the Internet is becoming less free as companies like Facebook and Google look for new ways to combat what they consider to be "hate speech" or "fake news," even if the actual content is none of those things. Truth be told, the end goal is to suppress conservative voices that do not subscribe to the progressive ideology, and in order to accomplish that, companies must first surrender their dedication and respect for the First Amendment.
Google has also hopped on the anti-free speech bandwagon in recent months, even going so far as to create an AI system that is capable of detecting and potentially burying what it considers to be "toxic" comments, which of course could mean just about anything that is not necessarily politically correct or left of center. The Google-owned video sharing website YouTube has also established similar regulatory systems.
If you know history and understand the thought process that went into the creation of this country, then you understand that not just the freedom of speech, but really every right listed in the Constitution, was included to protect the people from the threat of tyranny. Free speech is not just some words written on a dated document; it is a gift that is unique to the western world, and a safeguard against the rise of an authoritarian regime. Needless to say, that is not something that any of us should ever take for granted.

Q: What are the best resources for learning how to implement Naive Bayes Classifiers in SSAS? After asking this question, I've decided to try and implement some Naive Bayes Classifiers using SQL Server Analysis Services.
Can anyone point me to a decent book, website or any other resource on how to implement Naive Bayes Classifiers in SSAS?  Similarly, I would be interested in learning about Decision Trees.

A: Data Mining with SQL Server 2008 - this book explains what each algorithm does and walks you through how to apply each one. Definitely read it if you're getting into Data Mining.
SQL Server Data Mining - site which gives tutorials, samples, etc.

Sweet and spicy smoked chicken drumsticks paired with summery, chili lime corn.
To create the marinade, mix together ⅔ cup honey, ½ cup Sriracha, 4 tbsp soy sauce, and the juice of one lime.
Chop up the garlic cloves and add them to the mixture along with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix all the ingredients together. It might help to heat the mixture in the microwave for a few seconds or heat over low on the stove top. It doesn't need to get hot, but the honey and Sriracha will combine better if warm.
Mix together the ingredients for the marinade.
The drumsticks and marinade combined in a Ziplock bag.
Add all the drumsticks to the large Ziplock bag and then pour the marinade into the bag. Make sure to get as much air as possible out of the bag before sealing. Work the marinade around the drumsticks to make sure they are all covered.
Place the bag in the refrigerator to marinade for at least 30 minutes. If possible, marinade for 2 hours - overnight.
Light the cooker according to our instructions.
While the charcoal is heating up, take the chicken out of the marinade and load up the Drumstick Rack. The Drumstick Rack can hold up to 15 drumsticks, depending on size.
When the cooker is ready, place the Open Frame or O-Grate in the middle level of the cooker. Use the Accessory Wand to place the loaded-up Drumstick Rack in the Open Frame or O-Grate.
Loaded up Drumstick Rack getting placed in the cooker with the Accessory Wand.
Fold a generous amount of the bottom of the foil over the corn to prevent the butter from leaking during the cook.
While the drumsticks are cooking, prepare the corn. Start by shucking the corn cobs.
Roll out a long piece of foil (about 2 feet). Place one ear of corn on the foil and generously rub it down with butter, then salt and pepper it to taste.
Fold the bottom of the foil over the corn so that at least a few inches are covering the corn to prevent the butter from leaking out during the cook. See the picture for a better idea of what that looks like.
Finish tightly wrapping the corn. There should be a lot of excess foil at the top. Smash or twist the excess together and fold in half, then form a hook out of the folded excess.
Repeat steps 10-12 for each ear of corn. We cooked 3, but you could easily fit 4-5 with the drumsticks.
Once the corn is prepared and the drumsticks have been cooking for at least 30 minutes, place the H-Frame on the top level of the cooker. Use the foil "hooks" to hang the corn on the H-Frame.
While everything is cooking, prepare the final glaze for the drumsticks. Do not reuse the marinade. Use the remaining ⅓ cup honey, ⅓ cup Sriracha, and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Add the juice from half a lime, some salt and pepper, and the garlic powder. Mix it all together. Again, warm up the ingredients to help combine them.
After the corn has cooked for about 40 minutes, remove it and the H-Frame from the cooker.
Hang the tightly wrapped corn using the foil "hooks" from the top level on the H-Frame. The drumsticks will be on the middle level.
Brush the glaze onto the drumsticks towards the end of the cook.
At this time, check the internal temp of the drumsticks. If it's at or close to 175°F, remove the drumsticks using the Accessory Wand. Otherwise, let them cook a little longer. Brush or spoon the glaze onto the drumsticks and then place them back in the cooker.
Let the drumsticks cook with the glaze for another 10 minutes.
Remove the drumsticks from the cooker. They should be at or slightly over 175°F.
Optional: If you'd like a little more texture or color on the corn, you can grill the corn by placing it on the Half Grill Grates at the very bottom level of the cooker with the foil removed for a few minutes on each side. We skipped this step, but it does provide you with a more traditional "grilled" corn look and flavor.
Once everything is done cooking, drizzle the corn with the juice from the remaining half lime. Lightly dust some chipotle or chili powder on top. Grate a small amount of queso fresco and sprinkle it on top.
Sprinkle the seasoned corn and drumsticks with cilantro, and enjoy!
Sprinkle the corn with lime juice, chili powder, and queso fresco. Top the corn and drumsticks with cilantro and serve.
