Dine Out: Harvest Market meal hits the mark
By Dan MedeirosThe Herald News

In just a few short years, the Harvest Market in Swansea has grown from a seasonal farm stand to a year-round produce market to a bakery and cafe to a full-service sit-down restaurant. Something like six years ago, that was a pumpkin patch. I find it fascinating — mighty oaks from little acorns grow, and all that.
I'd wanted to drop by many times since it started offering prepared stuff and baked goods, but never carved out the time, and had to watch the whole thing evolve from afar. My wife and daughter had been a few times with friends when Harvest Market had counter service only, and they'd told legends of their brick oven pizza. Never brought me leftovers, though. So I brought them there for lunch.
The interior is rustic and barn-like, with high ceilings, exposed rafters, everything crafted in lightly-finished wood, with massive doors that I assume can open up in warm weather. Along one side is a bar underlit in neon blue where you'll find some flat-screens and a stone bar-back. Tables are spread throughout the space, and at the center of the room is a dessert case showing off the mouthwatering dainties they have on offer. It boasts a key advantage over actual barns I've visited: it smells much better. As we sat at a table and checked out the menu, though, we discovered one disadvantage: with such a spacious, open interior, it was hard to have a conversation without yelling. Some sound-dampening might be a good idea.
The place was packed — apparently loads of other people were eager to try the wait service too. Since it's still new, they're working out the kinks. It took 15 minutes for our server to say hello (yes, I time these things), although the hostess did pop over to apologize halfway through. We're patient people, though, and used the time to study the menu, which is lengthy. My daughter's gaze, meanwhile, had chanced upon a slab of triple chocolate fudge cake in the dessert case. The last piece, in fact. She sat with her back to it, but turned around every 40 seconds or so to make sure it was still there.
The three of us ordered Spindrift seltzer waters ($1.80 each), but Harvest Market has harder stuff if you're so inclined, including craft beers bottled and on tap, or cocktails like the Harvest lemonade with a variety of flavored vodkas, or even lattes and nitro iced tea.
The food menu is basic and heavy on traditional favorites — there isn't anything jaw-dropping in terms of culinary creativity, but everything is familiar, fresh and delightful. Starters include Philly cheesesteak spring rolls with chipotle mayo ($12), loaded tater kegs topped with chili and sour cream ($11), and their wings, bone-in or boneless, in six flavors like bourbon, garlic Parmesan or sweet red chili. On our daughter's recommendation, we picked the nachos with chili and jalapeños ($11), which, unlike our server's first visit, arrived very speedily.
I usually don't get nachos at restaurants. I like to order things I don't make at home, for one thing — and since chips are cheap, nacho apps tend to be enormous, not serving the "appetizer" function of merely teasing my appetite, so much as clotheslining and full-nelsoning it into submission. This platter was not the biggest I've ever seen but still quite robust, smothered in a gooey cheese blend and chili and a generous dollop of sour cream. The three of us dove in, my wife and I taking the most chili-topped chips and leaving the dry ones for the picky kid. The chili was a great touch, spicy but not painfully so, with a rich, zesty tang. We demolished them.
Entrees on the menu run the gamut — there are half-pound burgers from $9 to $18 like the Guinness stout burger or the Fat Cow with two patties, and an array of sandwiches from $7 to $14 including the grilled pastrami with onions and Swiss on a baguette, the Caprese with fresh mozzarella and basil, or the Texas grilled cheese. Specialty pizzas range from $10 to $22, small or large, including the Greek with feta, tomatoes and spinach, or the farmer's stand loaded with veggies and a white sauce — or make your own. Larger plates include a few Italian pasta dishes like eggplant parmigiana over penne ($12.50), some basic fried seafood dishes, even meatloaf ($13) and Portuguese steak ($14).
My kid, still with one eye on the triple chocolate fudge cake, picked the kids' size cheese pizza ($7), while I chose a large farmer's lunch pizza, topped with bacon, pepperoni, meatball and sausage ($15). My wife chose the Mediterranean gnocchi with spinach and feta ($14).
Before long, our tiny table was overloaded with food, my 16-inch pizza taking up most of the tabletop real estate. It's a thin-crust pizza baked in a brick oven, which can get dicey — I've had brick oven pizzas with charred crusts or toasted so heavily that it was like eating a giant cracker. This was baked perfectly, the crust providing a good support for all the toppings while remaining chewy. As for the toppings, in another review earlier this year I had an unfortunate run-in with a meat-loaded pizza that I thought was literally killing me. This experience was much better, the proteins complementing each other, smoky and savory, and not too salty. I put away three slices before calling for a box.
My wife's gnocchi dish was shockingly generous, with plenty of pert rolls swimming in the sweet red sauce and wilted spinach. Our kid, chewing a slice of pizza, asked to try one, and her eyes grew wide once it hit her tongue. My wife spooned more onto her plate while my kid scooped it up, then more, until she ate literally half my wife's meal and left nearly all of her pizza untouched. You know it's good if it can distract a picky 7-year-old from a cheese pizza.
We packed up the rest of the pies while we waited for our server to ask about dessert. Instead, he brought us the check, so my wife and daughter, who could no longer contain herself, visited the dessert case to pick out something to go — in line behind a woman who had stopped in to buy an assortment of pastries, which, yes, dear readers, included the last slice of triple chocolate fudge cake. My poor kid had to stand there and watch some random lady just waltz in and claim it — like it belonged to her or something. What nerve. Instead, she settled for a chocolate truffle bomb, while I picked a Boston cream bomb ($4 each), bringing everything before tax and tip to $60. We enjoyed them at home shortly afterward, both cakes moist and delicious, the truffle bomb hiding a gloriously gooey chocolate fudge center. It wasn't what she wanted, but it was still more than all right.

Steph sighs as she picks the shears up. Prince Fluffy is trotting about the garden shed, running up to her every now and then, smiling at her. It lightens her heart and she squats to give the dog a good rub. His tail wags furiously and she giggles at his antics. Thank goodness for Prince Fluffy. He's a spark of happiness in her life even if he's the reason why she's being punished now.
Damn that girl. Gim Ha Min. The principal's daughter. Big deal. Ordinarily, Steph wouldn't waste any time of the day on Ha Min but this incident is getting on her nerves. Because of Ha Min, Prince Fluffy needs a new place to live in until her new apartment is ready. Her first thought is Taeng but he had said no the first time and after this incident, she isn't sure if she wants him to have anything to do with her and Prince Fluffy anymore.
It is strange how Ha Min found out though. That girl may be the principal's daughter but she sure is sneaky. And she's sure Ha Min won't hesitate to wreck her at the slightest opportunity. Like this one. And the previous one. That had been a vicious whirlwind of a scandal but fortunately, she managed to defend her honour. And it only infuriated Ha Min even more, of course.
Poor Taeng though. She shouldn't have told him about Prince Fluffy. She doesn't even know why she did it. Telling a brand new student about her secret definitely wasn't the smartest thing to do. But Taeng had seemed so open and reliable that she found herself opening up to him easily. However, to be fair, Taeng has proved to be a loyal friend. She has not misplaced her trust.
"Oh my God." Steph gets up and flings her arms around her knight in shining armour. "Thanks, Taeng." But he doesn't look comfortable when she releases him, which is strange. "What's wrong?" she asks.
"Who did you hear it from?" she asks even though she thinks she already knows.
A stab of regret hits Steph in the chest when she sees the hurt and confusion in Taeng's eyes. But she pushes it aside in her anger and lifts her chin up high. If he's going to doubt her like all the other people did, then she doesn't need him around.
Taeng shakes his head. "You're not who I thought you were," he says angrily and stomps off.
Steph is left standing by the bushes with the pair of shears in her hand. Her heart is pounding and her chest is heaving. What just happened? How did that escalate so quickly? But it was Taeng who started it. He is the one who doesn't believe in her. He is the one who is doubting her. She can't believe Taeng would listen to Ha Min and believe her vicious lies. She can't believe Taeng is just like the rest of them. And he left her here, perfectly aware that he was a lifeline she needed to help with Prince Fluffy. So much for being reliable.
Forget Taeng. She has more important things to think about. Like where is she to send Prince Fluffy to now.
Taeng is walking into school the next day wondering why Steph wasn't on the bus when Seo appears in front of him.
Again? Taeng follows Seo nonetheless and so here they are, facing each other in an empty classroom.
"Ah." Taeng wonders if Seo really has a crush on Steph. He had cast that thought aside some time ago when Seo didn't seem interested in talking to Steph but he could be wrong about that. Just as he figured he was wrong for saying those things to Steph yesterday.
Taeng shifts his weight from one foot to another. "I'm not so sure about that," he says, feeling a little sad.
"Nothing." Taeng is saddened by the fact. He shouldn't have left her there, knowing she needed a home for Prince Fluffy. But later on when he finally went back to look for Steph, it was too late. She was already gone. And she wasn't on the bus this morning.
Taehyuk is such a clueless, naive soul. I guess it's because of his secluded upbringing. Tiffany must be so sad and feeling that she's alone against the world because of his latest altercation with her. Where will she put prince on a more permanent basis? She couldn't be transferring to an apartment that allows dogs, is she?
Why do i have this feeling that steph is a princess somewhere and is currently having the time of her life away from the throne?

They should borrow that Michael Jackson statue outside Craven Cottage as a mark of respect.

Methinks you ré prone to exaggeration. As many Kerry as Cork there that day. Cork supporters are poor to follow the football unless they win as Michael Shields spoke about a few years back and he was a great Cork stalwart.

Clarinman, merely on a point of information , Cork GAA did not own Pairc Ui Rinn back in the mid seventies when Pairc Ui Chaoimh was being being refurbished . Back then it was a soccer venue and known as Flower Lodge. I spent many Sundays there watching Cork Hibernians play. Domestic soccer was very strong in those days but lost its way for various reasons and, the unkindest cut of all, lost Flower Lodge to the GAA. I can assure you , not surprisingly, that caused consternation among the soccer fraternity. The much maligned Frank Murphy was a canny operator and made sure his Board were ready to swoop when Flower Lodge/Pairc Ui Rinn came on the market. It was a shrewd investment.
Remember Dave Bacussi....I was only read about him last week. He died from covid in 2020. His widow was at the garden of remembrance event.
Mick, I remember him well. Dinny Allen played with that team.

I'm with the Munster council on this. The supporters need to be taken into account. It was behind closed doors in 2020. Capacity was limited to 2.5k last year in Killarney and tickets were impossible to get. A venue needs to be chosen to allow those who want to go to attend. Don't forget cork weren't calling for games in pairc ui Rinn when pairc ui chaoimh was being rebuilt.
Veteran, I was referring to the rebuild of the stadium in 2015 to 17. Cork had no issue playing the 2015 replay in Killarney when Pairc ui Rinn was available. I don't think I go back as far as you but I was at the first Munster final in the new Pairc UI Chaoimh in 1976. Again back then the 1975 Munster final was moved to Killarney to facilitate the construction at Pairc UI Chaoimh. This year's move by Cork to not play the match in Killarney is totally at odds with their decisions when Pairc UI Chaoimh has not been available twice previously.

I can't believe that anybody involved in the Kerry senior football camp care where this match will be played.
The people who I feel for most in this whole mess are the ladies footballers of Kerry and Tipperary who might enjoy the atmosphere of playing, (their second half at least), in front of a sizable crowd in Killarney.
I can't see the Munster council changing their minds. What happens if Kerry and Tipperary Lgfa decide that they won't play anywhere only Killarney!!!

I remember the Sunday Sports Show on a Sunday night hosted by Brendan oReilly. It covered whatever sport was on that day be in hurling, football, soccer, athletics. It was before the Sunday game came on the scene.
It gave good coverage to irish soccer and Miah Dennehy also seemed to score for Cork Hibs and Alfie Hale for Waterford. They were huge occasions with huge crows crammed in. Dinny Allen played with Hibs yes and i think Dave Barry did too. George Best was signed by Cork for a while and that created great excitement.
Brendan oReilly was a very amiable host. I loved that show.

Clarinman, I accept your point re 2015-2017 but Pairc Ui Rinn wasn't owned by Cork GAA back in 1975.
However, like you I think Cork should play the game in Killarney and then play in Pairc Ui Chaoimh in 2023 and 2024. Whatever about support for Cork , I expect a huge Kerry following for the game, especially after this NFL campaign. Don't forget we had 8,000 for the McGrath cup in January.
You refer to the 1976 Munster final , that of course went to a replay and extra time. Like all replays that involves extra time it was epic.
The first gamed ended 10 points each. I think Denny Long pointed a free to level it. Back to Cork for the replay. I was behind the goal when the Kerry keeper tried a short kickout which JBM intercepted and ran through and slipped it past Paudie oMahony. Corks tails were up and were 4 or 5 up nearing the end.....then kerry got a free about 21 yards out......Mikey took a short one to Seanie Walsh and he let fly but twas stopped on the line....suddenly mayhem....the umpire is putting up the green flag as the defender is adjudged to be behind the line. Mikey levelled it and Brendan Lynch launched the winning point from 50 yards but the ref blew full time as the ball was nearing the crossbar. More mayhem. Kerry won the extra time well. The Cork Examiner went crazy the following day over the match.

I remember listening to that 1976 Munster Final in the kitchen of my Grandmother's house in Curraheen. I was 8 and already obsessed with Kerry football. We were all nervous as hell but Nana couldn't even stay in the room she was so worked up. We own that house now and the sacred Heart picture is still on the wall. The house is full of memories.

One other aspect of this year's Cork-Kerry game is that it's the last time a Cork-Kerry game in the Munster Championship has significance from an All-Ireland Championship prospective, well from a Kerry point of view anyway.
In 2023 Kerry will qualify for the round robin stage of the Championship automatically via their Div 1 league status.
Cork may need to make it to the Munster final in 2023 to avoid the Tailteann cup.

Declan Barron also had a goal disallowed for square ball (another contentious decision). I was at both games too. The first day the crowd was unreal with many spilling onto the sidelines.
The replay was a crazy game. A lot of controversy over that Kerry goal. I remember in the drawn game that they had to let supporters onto the sideline as the stadium couldn't hold the crowd. Great days.
Was it something like 2.10 v 2.10 at full time, before extra time.

Kerry are right to stay out of this venue mess .unfortunately as the weeks go by nearer the game they will be pressurised into making gesture to cork to offer to play in pairc ui riinn .. again they should politely put all the pressure on the Munster council and just say they are happy to play wherever directed by the Munster council .. I have a nagging feeling that cork have no appetite to play Kerry and get another hiding and would prefer to take the high moral ground and give a walkover knowing they are already assured of making the last 16 in the all Ireland series.. they would then go into this game with a chip on the shoulder ..

Surely Cork's main goal in championship is to win a Munster championship?
Or would it be to reach a quarter final?
I would have thought the former.

A memory I have of that 1976 replay is the display of Pat McCarthy from Churchill at midfield. It is appropriate to recall it in the context of our frequent bemoaning our inability to field a ball at midfield in crunch times during the recent NFL.
Pat appeared on the scene in 1975 and I , like a lot of others , had never heard of him. He was living and working up in Kildare at the time . His unheralded appearance illustrates Mick O'Dwyer's facility for spotting raw, unpolished talent , bringing him along and knocking the rough corners off him and finishing up with a pivotal player. Indeed, he did something similar with Eoin Liston.
In any case, in my view it was Pat McCarthy who probably swung that game for us in extra time with his soaring catches. He formed a formidable midfield pairing with Paudie Lynch against an equally formidable pairing of Denis Long and Dave McCarthy.
Paudie Lynch remains one of my all time favourite Kerry footballers. He was a magnificent all rounder, as complete a footballer as I have seen play for Kerry.
Apr 7, 2022 9:58:53 GMT veteran said:
Remember it well - McCarthy was a colossus that day in extra time - I was on the terrace at Blackrock end & can still see him plucking ball after ball from the skies - Paudie Lynch was indeed a great footballer - pace, strength & comfortable kicking off right or left. Great memories!
Ah yeah Pat Mccarthy was brilliant for Kerry in 75 and v Cork 76 replay in particular. Was quiet in 76 final v Dublin and lost his place then. Was a sub for the 4 in a row team and ended up with Kildare. An honest tough midfielder. If anyone ever watches Kerry s Golden years they will see Brian Mullins got the first point of the game in 75 final after being floored by a thundering shoulder by Pat Mccarthy. He was as strong as an ox. Paudie Lynch was brilliant too and so versatile. A very good midfielder a very good centre forward an excellent wing back and brilliant corner and full back. Two tough men and two great warriors.
I was at the drawn game and couldn't get into the ground as there was mayhem due to lack of lighting in the tunnels & general chaos - I listened to the first half outside the ground on a " transistor" that somebody had; at half time I asked a turnstile operator if I could get in & he allowed me to & said follow me - the next time I saw daylight was when doors opened and I was on sideline next to the Kerry bench!! It was bedlam - I remember Ger O'Keeffe receiving a late hit from a Cork player & thought he would never again get up ! Mad days
The sale of Flower Lodge was quite controversial- the ground was owned by an organisation called the AOH - Ancient order of Hibernians & word was that they would not sell to any soccer body - the GAA stepped in, credit to Frank & bought it for something in the region of £200k punts - it was an absolute steal at the time.
The full game, the 76 final is up on utube, I came across it in the first lock down and watched it with the young lads, they couldn't get over the just belt it into space and fight your corner for it.
There are some cracking rare ones up.on utube.. U21 vs Donegal mid 80's. Meath Semi in 86. Monaghan draw in 85. Armagh league game mid 80's ..
Ciarraimick, you refer to the Brian Mullins opening point in 1975 after being floored as you say by a thundering shoulder. I remember saying to my mate at the , that is some score for a man picking himself off the ground . Brian Mullins was a massive player.
Now the real reason I am following up on your post is the name of the man who delivered that shoulder! I have not seen the 1975 final for ages but for the past forty five years or so I have carried around in my mind that it is was Paudie Lynch who delivered that shoulder on Brian Mullins! Look, it is only a pub question but if you have a recording of that match and if you have nothing better to do maybe you would have a look at it. It wouldn't take long because I think it was the first score of the match.

The real story of how Cork GAA bought Flower Lodge
It wasn't just one of the deals of the century for Cork GAA — those of a soccer persuasion believed the 1989 purchase by Cork County Board of the old Flower Lodge was also the steal of the century.
FRI, 11 JUL, 2014 - 01:00
TONY LEEN
Only now, some 35 years later, have the full details emerged of how Cork GAA pulled off one of the great coups by purchasing what is now Páirc Ui Rinn from the Ancient Order of Hibernian for around £240,000 — despite Cork City FC appearing certainties to take ownership of a stadium steeped in local football history.
In a rare interview, published in tomorrow's Irish Examiner, Cork GAA secretary Frank Murphy tells how Cork GAA lodged a pair of secret bids through firms of solicitors to ensure the vendors were unaware of their identity.
And once they had secured the purchase, how Páirc Uí Chaoimh groundsman Tommy Lynch was dispatched at 8.25pm on a Tuesday night — five minutes before the announcement at a County Board meeting — to alert gobsmacked AOH officers that the GAA were the new owners of Flower Lodge.
"It was undoubtedly one of the best pieces of business we have done," Mr Murphy agreed this week. "When it came on the market, it was on the basis that preference would be given to its retention for sport — but it was open for sport or redevelopment.
"We didn't go directly or first hand, it was all done through legal representatives. We actually made two bids — one on the basis of retention for sport, and one without such a guarantee. We weren't sure what direction the vendors would take it," the veteran administrator revealed.
"It wasn't obvious to the AOH that it was the one entity making the two offers. One was lower, the other higher — the latter on the basis of no undertaking for the retention for sport. And it was the lower one was accepted.
"Our supposition at the time was they thought it was a soccer bid — because there was an attempt made at the time to find out who the bidders were. We had three sets of solicitors involved in total," said Mr Murphy.
So there was a fear that they may not want to sell to the GAA?
"That's true," he replied.
Things moved quickly once the bid was accepted by the AOH, which was slow to sell to Cork City on the basis that there was no guarantee Flower Lodge would be retained exclusively for sport.
"We had a meeting of the executive here on the Tuesday night and they were briefed on the decision. There was a board meeting at 8.30pm so before we informed them the property had been bought, we sent our groundsman, Tommy Lynch, with a letter to the secretary of the AOH to inform them that we were the new owners of Flower Lodge. And that was the first intimation they had who the new owners were."
Mr Murphy's recollection of Cork City FC's interest was their difficulty in raising the capital, but Cork GAA had an ace in that regard, having cleared the punishing debt resulting from the redevelopment of Páirc Ui Chaoimh a decade earlier.
"The Michael Jackson concerts enabled us to buy Flower Lodge without bank borrowing. That was huge," Mr Murphy explained. "Those concerts made a huge difference, to be able to buy Flower Lodge without affecting the promotions of the games."

Ah Veteran fair play to you. I just watched it again on YouTube and you are correct. I was nt fully sure still until I saw nó 9 (which was Pat Mccarthy's jersey closer to camera meani g it was number 8 that floored Mullins (Paudie Lynch) That's amazing that from watching the golden years in 1988 to tonight I always thought it was Mccarthy but I was wrong. I see Mickmac has a clip up so have a look. Well done Veteran and thanks Mickmac.

Cry Harder: Outpost Resets, More Coming To Far Cry 3
News by Nathan Grayson Contributor
Published on 19 Feb, 2013
Confession time: I never quite finished Far Cry 3. I've put infinity-dozens of hours into it, but I eventually got bored because I downed most of the outposts. As a result, my once-thriving pirate-and-oppression-overrun utopia devolved into a hive of peace and friendly cooperation. Gross, right? So I moved on to other open worlds and left Far Cry 3 stranded on its own little closure-free island, forever to rest until I forgot Just Cause 2 existed. But this, this is good news. We'll be able reset outposts soon - at least, after beating the game. Also, other things! Those things are after the break.
Also near the top of the list: a new difficulty mode. MASTER (officially written in all-caps, because yep) will put you up against "more aggressive wildlife, tougher pirates, and more deadly privateers."
Multiplayer's changes, meanwhile, might be even more impactful in the long run, given that they actually make it possible to play custom maps. Ubisoft broke down the current, rather game-breaking problem:
"With the current system, when a map maker has finished their map, they upload and publish it, essentially just sending it out 'into the wild'. They are hoping that it will get sufficient plays in order to get some valuable feedback. With a ballooning amount of user-made maps, this becomes harder and harder. The map maker can also have hard time finding enough players to play the map with, so they can judge for themselves where the map can be improved."
So basically, good luck finding a match against an opponent that's not your own suffocating loneliness. But soon, there'll be a beta-specific playlist that groups many custom maps under the same umbrella, meaning that fully populated matches will come to you - not the other way around.
Other upcoming features include a user-created map feedback system, mapmaker spectating, the removal of idle kicking from custom matches (by default, anyway), and the option to find other maps by an author. Little things, sure, but pretty crucial in the long run.
Actually, my only real concern lies with, er, the outpost reset system I'm so excited about. Apparently, it'll only unlock after you've finished the game, and it'll have an impact on other elements like side missions. A quick Google search, meanwhile, turned up this nice mod compilation with a far more convenient outpost hostility choice feature, making Ubi's approach seem fairly roundabout. Still though, it's tough to fault a major publisher too much for listening to its players.
All of these changes will arrive in "upcoming patches." As opposed to that other way videogame updates arrive.

Q: Parser Combinator ^^ with Optional Values I'm trying to modify an example from DSLs in Action.
Originally, this code was used to parse items followed by account.
  lazy val order: Parser[Order] =
    items ~ account_spec ^^ {
      case i ~ a => Order(i, a)
    }

The following text could be parsed with the above parser:
(100 IBM shares to buy at max 45) for account "A1234
------------- item -------------  ------ account ----

But, I'd like to add FOO and an optional not values to the parser:
  lazy val order: Parser[Order] =
    items <~ "FOO" ~> ("not"?) ~ account_spec ^^ {
      case i ~ n ~ a => println(n); Order(i, a)
    }

FOO must follow account and, optionally, not will follow.
Example:
(100 IBM shares to buy at max 45) FOO not for account "A1234
---------- item ------------------ --- --- ------ account ----

However, the above code gives me this compile-time error:
[WARNING] ....\OrderDsl.scala:19: error: constructor cannot be instantiated to
expected type;
[WARNING]  found   : ch8.trading.semantic.dsl.OrderDsl.~[a,b]
[WARNING]  required: ch8.trading.semantic.dsl.AST.Items
[WARNING]       case i ~ n ~ a => println(n); Order(i, a)
[WARNING]                  ^

How can I modify the case statement to support parsing an optional "not" value?

A: a <~ "FOO" ~> b means "ignore results of parsers "FOO" and b and return the result of a".
Rewrite your method like this:
lazy val order: Parser[Order] =
  items ~ opt("FOO") ~ opt("not") ~ account_spec ^^ {
    case i ~ _ ~ n ~ a => println(n); Order(i, a)
  }

General mnemonic for ~> and <~: you can ignore from start to operator or from operator to end, but not the middle part of expression.

Home Actresses Brie Larson's Mom, Dad And Sister
Brie Larson's Mom, Dad And Sister
You may not know that, but Desaulniers is her real last name, the actress was considerate enough to take her great-grandmother's maiden name so that we mortals could have a chance to pronounce her name. Well, today it's time to meet the entire Desaulniers clan; from Brie Larson's Mom to her sister.
Brie Larson's Mom
Her name is Heather Desaulniers and in case the last name confuses you for a second, she is Brie Larson's mother. Heather is a big influence in Brie's life, no doubt you can worship her at some point when raised by a single parent, especially when they were super supportive as a whole.
Brie was born when her two parents were still together, in Sacramento, where they were both chiropractors who shared a practice. When she was just six years old, they divorced, and that ended with Heather and her two daughters moving to Los Angeles to start their new lives.
More recently, in her brilliant performance in the movie Room, which earned her an Oscar, Brie channeled her mother to nail the heartbreaking role she had to play. Although the actual story began a little on the sad side, she found a way to make it beautiful, and so she did.
I didn't have any toys, and I had two shirts, one jeans, and that was it. But I had my mother to myself and I remember it was the coolest time. I loved it. I really loved it, for me "space" is an opportunity to relive an aspect of my childhood that I hadn't put a lot of thought into.
She added: "It's such a powerful metaphor for me now, and it bothers me that this film is what made this experience possible for me.

Brie Larson's Dad
In most stories, there is a hero and a villain, in this story you can guess who the villain is? It's certainly not Brie Larson's mother, so the prize goes to her father. Since the star hasn't spoken or contacted him for a little over a decade, it's a little obvious that he wasn't exactly the most "present" father out there.
Here's what she told Elle Magazine about her exhausting relationship with her father: 'When I legally didn't have to visit him anymore, I jumped on it. As a child, I tried to understand him and the situation. But he didn't do himself a favor.
Nevertheless, it seems that the chiropractor from Sacramento is taking every opportunity to show that he is still very much on his daughter's side; in October 2015 Desaulniers shared a video of Larson at The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, then next year in September he congratulated her on winning an award from IMDb.
Here's what he posted on his page, "Go Brie." This movie, Room, looks fantastic! Her tense relationship only makes us wonder if there was more than one reason why she changed her last name, well, that's food for thought.

Well, she's not the only Desaulniers sister in town…. on paper, she has a little sister and her name is Milanie. That's about as much information as you'll find out there about the star's sister.

Bradley observed the stellar aberration of the star y-Draconis in 1727. We demonstrated in the previous chapters that the conclusion of science that there could not be dragged ether was premature. The presumption of science that dragged ether could not exist had consequences; the stellar aberration observed occurs so there had to be an other explanation.
The light of a star in a telescope is bent to the focus point. Science assumed, to be able to explain stellar aberration, that the light from the star kept moving sideways in the telescope. When the beams of light from the star hit the lens of the telescope right-angled, then the image of the star would be sideways of the center point because of the assumed continuing sideway movement of the light in the telescope.
The way scientists apparently assumed how stellar aberration was achieved in the telescope is comparable to a bullet aimed at the heart. The victim moves as quickly as possible to the side to avoid the bullet. The bullet hits the heart away from where the shooter aimed because the victim moved sideways. Science argued therefore that if the telescope is filled with water the observed aberration would have to increase. Light travels slower in water than in a vacuum or in air.
Because of the decrease of the speed of light in water one assumed that the light in the telescope, when filled with water, had more time to move sideways and thus the aberration would increase. The speed of light in water is c divided the index n of water. The index of water is ca. n=1.33. The light of the star will stay longer in the telescope when it is filled with water. The light beam will have more time to move sideways and therefore science expected an increase of the stellar aberration with a factor 1.33.
To resume our analogy with the victim, the victim is now shot with an arrow. The arrow is again aimed precisely at the heart. The victim runs sideways as hard as he can and because the arrow takes longer to reach the heart, the spot where the heart is penetrated must lie further sideways. The victim has more time to move sideways before the arrow spears his heart.
In 1871 Sir Geofry Air conducted this experiment. He, however, did not measure any increase in aberration. The aberration of the star was the same with or without the telescope filled with water! This was not a really big surprise, because in 1818 Fresnel had postulated that there would be a "drag-factor".
Fresnel came to this conclusion after Arago had observed that the earth always seems to be "at rest" in the ether. But science had concluded earlier that the dragged ether did not exist. A drag factor had to be introduced to "explain" the contradiction between "always at rest in ether" (Arago) and the presumed "non-existence" of the dragged ether.
Now science should have wondered whether this was correct. Apparently science was so fixated looking for absolute ether, that this obvious sign was ignored. So to explain the lack of increase in stellar aberration when the telescope was filled with water, a drag factor had to be introduced!
The above is a very short historical overview of the attempts of scientists to explain stellar aberration. Finding any logic in the above is difficult. Weird concepts were proposed scientists to explain the phenomena, because the only logical explanation was denied.
f is the drag factor of Fresnel and n the refractive index.
In general one can state that in the 19th century physicists were strongly convinced there was absolute ether in which light moves in all directions with the same speed c. The ether was assumed to be absolute because experiments indicated that whatever the circumstances the speed of light was always c. The absolute ether was then the presumed medium existing in vacuum means of which light propagates. The absolute ether is considered to be at rest while all the stars and planets move in comparison to the absolute ether. When the ether cannot be influenced anything than this ether is absolute. Only if the earth is at rest in the absolute ether then light will travel with equal speed in all directions. When the earth is moving in the absolute ether, the speed of light cannot be the same in all directions because the light moves in the ether in all directions with c. When the Earth moves relative to the ether on Earth the speed of light cannot be c in all directions because the light moves in the absolute ether in all directions with c; you cannot have both at the same time.
In experiments it was observed that the speed of light was always c in all directions. The dragged ether was denied and therefore the only possible form of ether left was the absolute ether. Because the Earth in her path around the Sun cannot always be at rest with the absolute ether there must be a physical process explaining why the Earth appears to be at rest with the absolute ether. The drag factor of Fresnel was a possible explanation.

Complete the following Lodash exercises. The goal is to become really good at
functional programming paradigm (e.g., `_.map`, `_.filter`, `_.all`, `_.any` ...etc) and
a number of really useful Lodash methods (e.g., `_.find`, `_.pluck` ... etc).

* enter your solution in the `solution` block
* utilize lodash functions as much as possible
* no `for/while` loop is allowed

Familiarity with programming in this way will not only make you a super productive
programmer but also will pave the way for you to learn MapReduce and MongoDB.

I watched such cooperation, encouragement, and help from my oldest to my youngest today that it stung, shining eyes and sniffles my only possible reaction. I declared my love and pride with hard, clutching hugs, burying my face in Erin's hair and memorizing her perfection.
Adrian, ever-following, ever-trailing, ever-mimicking, struggled to climb up a rope web his sister had already scaled without trouble.
She watched his struggle, saw his trepidation, and began willing him up the rest of the way.
He heard her cheering and it carried him up one section, up another, and onto the third. There, because the web leveled out and was less a ladder than a trap, he stalled. I saw one of the park attendants walk over. I saw Erin move faster, dashing down the netting to her brother's aid.
Erin took him by the hand and led him the rest of the way to the top.
I know they won't always get along; they don't always get along now. But if she can keep loving him this much, even if only every once in a while, I will know that Emily and I have done things right.
:sniff: … keep these photos handy, you'll need them in when she's early-teen and he's still the snot nose little brother. You're doing good daddy-o!
aw. I kept waiting for the punchline but… there wasn't one. That was really sweet.
Fantastic post. It makes me want a second little one even more!
My recent post Let me buy my bananas, old people.
One of the surprising gifts of parenthood is that you will see microcosms of great truths of humanity contained in the persons of your children.
Where is this i have a 5 year old daughter and a 20 month old son, and I would love to take them.
It's at Happy Hollow in San Jose.
I won't tell him how often I'm peeling Erin off of Adrian's face because she just can't. leave. him. alone.
Dude you keep that info to yourself – just like I don't tell him the stories of how much my brother and I fought (didn't stop until we hit our twenties).
It does your heart good to see that some of the love and compassion you try to teach your children rubs off. Makes everything worthwhile, doesn't it?
Awwwww…. Sweet. We have to document the good stuff for the days that aren't quite as lovely.
Stumbled onto your site via the bloggess, came over for a laugh, and you made me tear up instead. Damn you! But I just had my second kid 3 weeks ago, and I'm going to go ahead and take this post as proof that it was the right decision. So, thanks!

My philosophy about self-care and self-love is that I can't show up fully to the present moment and to the people that I love when I don't feel whole. On the surface, self-care can include practices like getting adequate sleep, meditating, spending time in nature, practicing yoga, getting my tax return in on time, taking a long bike ride, or engaging in supportive eating habits.
These kinds of activities nourish me and help to restore my life force, strengthen my resilience. AND I can practice all of these things and still find myself feeling anxious and out of balance.
Beyond all of the self-care perhaps there is a greater, more gentle, and necessary way of being with myself.
You see I started with the self-care practices. I go to yoga almost every day and spent a lot of time outside with my feet in the ocean. I meditate and journal and I practice gratitude – a lot. I say 'no' to things when I'm to capacity and give myself plenty of permission to rest.
The self-love comes when I allow myself to be imperfect after making a mistake, or when I shower myself in kindness after making the wrong choice.
The deep self-love comes when I interrupt a habitual thought patterning of shame and negative self-talk and stop myself from continually replaying out situations in my mind, or of living in the past or future.
The deep self-love comes when I am my own best friend. Weaving through all of this I notice is compassion for myself – the golden threat of self-compassion.

We loved the privacy and seclusion of the cabin. Loved sitting on the porch drinking coffee in the morning and hanging out in the evenings after visiting Fredericksburg. Perfect location and accommodations for our 2 night stay. Definitely staying here next year as well.
We thoroughly enjoyed the stay! Amenities were great and the place was very clean. We loved how it was away from the bustle and there was plenty of wildlife around!
Came down over Valentine's weekend. Cabin was clean and. Beautiful. Only had a internet connection problem, but the owner was very close and came right over and fixed it. I would only recommend the TV be upgraded to get be able to get Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc. Overall a nice experience.
A bit hard to find, but overall a wonderful place. Very quiet, secluded and the perfect getaway.

It was in August 2015. It was a feast for eyes hungry for some cultural celebration. It was the annual Osun Osogbo Festival yet again playing host to all lovers of culture from the nation and beyond.
The annual Osun Osogbo festival is one that is rooted in instructive history. It re-enacts the historical narratives that commemorate the founding of Osogbo sometime before the sixteenth century. It is a touching history that teaches the human mind the core virtues of genuine kindness, unfailing love and affective tolerance.
But hey, enough about the history and down to the fun part. The part that concerns fashion lovers.
So this year, the Osun Osogbo festival in collaboration with Osun state council for arts and culture celebrated and recognized fashion in Nigeria the ethnic way with the 'Ethnic fashion show and awards night'.
Dozzy Couture was one of the fashion brands to exhibit his ethnic fashion sense through his collection under the umbrella of The Fashion Designers Association of Nigeria (FADAN). Alongside other designers like La Penza Couture, Prolific Couture; Dozzy Couture showed the stuff Nigerian fashion is made of using the locally hand-made Adire fabric to design a collection that appealed to the downright traditional man.
Some of those who received the outstanding achievement award at this fashion show were: Mrs. Funmi Ajila Ladipo (Current FADAN President), Mr. Lexy Mojo Eyes (Founder of The African Fashion Reception) and Chief (Mrs) Nike Okundaye (Managing Director/CEO of Nike Center for Art and Culture) amongst others.
This fashion show and indeed many others that the country sees annually go a long way in promoting the African heritage through the many talented designs of the creative fashion designers Nigeria boasts of.
Here are some pictures of Dozzy Couture Designs on the runway and some other images.

Undermanned Vikings fall in bronze-medal game
Posted on March 17, 2016 by Vauxhall Advance
(Photo by Greg Price) INSIDE PRESENCE: Alex van der Stoel of the Vauxhall Vikings boys basketball team looks for a second-chance basket against the St. Mary's Celtics after hauling in an offensive rebound at 2A South Zone competition at Lethbridge College last week.

Short-handed and, at times, in foul trouble, Vauxhall Vikings suffered two losses at 2A South Zone basketball competition at Lethbridge College last week.
In the bronze-medal game, the Vikings fell to Immanuel Christian Eagles 66-45 on Saturday.
Down five players due to injury and/or baseball commitments, the Eagles swooped in with plenty of pressure on the Vikings and its short bench.
"There was too much ball pressure for us. Without our starting point guard we just couldn't handle their pressure," said Daryl Johnson, head coach of the Vauxhall Vikings boys basketball team.
"They jumped out early on us with a 15 to 20 point spread, and then it stayed that way the whole game. We finally got things figured out and got things going, but by that time they just held the lead."
Alex van der Stoel led the Vikings with 16 points. Erik Anderson had 10 points and Kevin Turner chipped in with nine.
Earlier, the Vikings were pushed to the bronze-medal game with a lopsided 82-43 loss to Kate Andrews Pride on Friday.
"With the group that I had and the effort we got I was pleased. In the Kate Andrews game, we were in it for half of it, but foul trouble hit us pretty bad in the second half," said Johnson.
"They were definitely a little bigger than us and once Alex (van der Stoel) fouled out, they started beating us up inside like crazy where we couldn't match up. We knew some of our guys were getting close to four and five fouls, but there was no point in taking them out, because once we took them out, we couldn't match up anyway. But I was still pleased with the team's effort where the kids didn't quit at all."
Anderson had 16 points and Liam Vulcano had 12 points. Turner added eight points.
The Vikings started off its zone tournament run with an 80-47 win over St. Mary's Celtics last Tuesday at Lethbridge College.
Van der Stoel poured in 22 points and Vulcano had 20. Anderson added 13 points and Callum vanden Dungen chipped in 10 points.
"We definitely had some twists and turns this season where we had some good tournaments and some other tournaments that were not so great" said Johnson. "With a lot younger kids that's kind of to be expected with the amount of Grade 10s I had. But, it was good development for them and hopefully they will keep at it and be ready for next year. We will have a lot of players returning."


Entrust Inc., a Dallas-based digital identity vendor, will provide its public key infrastructure to the Taiwanese government to help authenticate biometric information stored on e-passports.
Taiwan will begin offering the new e-passports to its 23 million citizens by the end of 2008. The validity of the information stored on the chip will be ensured using PKI from Entrust Authority Security Manager. Entrust provides e-passport security for the U.S., U.K., Slovenia, Singapore, New Zealand and now Taiwan.
"The need to securely identify people moving across national and international borders has never been more important than it is today," says Poh-Chuan Tan, public sector director of HP Asia Pacific and Japan. "We are excited to be enabling the implementation of biometric e-passports in Taiwan to help increase border security without adding to traveler waiting times.

'Inside the Game' with Keyon and Kyron Ware-Hudson: "Live from the Living room"
Football, HSPN South, HSPN West, Live Broadcast, News, Sports, Sports Talk Recruiting, Uncategorized comments
February 6 marks the final day high school football seniors can sign a scholarship letter to attend a NCAA Division I college. Wednesday's signing date is actually the calm after the storm insomuch as a majority of top high school football prospects had an opportunity commit to their respective colleges earlier on December 20. Ware-Hudson signed his commitment letter on December 20 to play college football for the Ducks and attend The University of Oregon next fall.
Keyon Ware-Hudson has remained calm, and committed throughout the various storms in his life. Ware-Hudson missed his entire junior season with an injury but remained one of the top recrutits for the Oregon Ducks this season. In fact, Ware-Hudson, a 6-2, 300 pound defensive lineman has been committed to Oregon since April of 2018, and Oregon remained committed to him as well.
In the world of college football recruiting, its rare to see commitments like those between Oregon and Ware-Hudson remain in tack. Many of the schools recruiting Ware-Hudson before his injury suddenly lost interest in him after missing his junior year. Ironically, the scouting and recruiting experts who subjectively rate and rank the top 100 high school football players in the country seem to lessen Ware-Hudson's value after his injury as well, dropping his "star-rating" from four to three stars at one point. This was something that seemed to baffle his father, a long time high school coach himself.
The twenty-first century has brought us the most advanced technology and systems the world has ever seen, yet those of us in the world of high school football, and college football recruiting still wonder why there isn't a more scientific/systematic method of evaluating high school football talent. Well, there actually is [stealthrating.com], but I'll save that story for another day.
HSPN Sports recently spent time with the big defensive tackle, and his younger brother Kyron, who will be a star receiver at Mater Dei High School in the next couple of seasons, and his family. We talked about everything including the development of Keyon and Kyron as young men, and athletes. We talked about recruiting, coaching and of course, the arbitrary/subjective and misguided system of ranking and rating high school football players.
Join us each night this week on our HSPN YouTube Channel as we ramp up to the February 6 signing date. We will air segments of the interview I did in the family's livingroom beginning tonight, and each night during prime time.
Parts I and II will air tonight. Parts III, IV, V and VI will air over the next couple of days with the final interview airing on Wednesday, February 6. Parts I through VI are now available on our YouTube channel
