We've all seen them. They take up space on the sidewalk outside reputable businesses. We try not to look at them, but wonder how they got themselves to this.
We secretly loathe them. They sit there, unkempt, sucking oxygen, unaware that there are hard-working people in this world. Their laziness silently mocks the rest of society for actually being busy, actually working.
And I am now one of them.
I have become a coffeehouse squatter.
I am one of those people you see lounging at the coffeehouse as you rush in getting your java to go; the one that's still there when you return for your mid-morning and afternoon pick-me-ups; the one that appears to be either a trust fund baby or the lucky beneficiary of a sugar daddy. Or momma.
But I usually don't sit outside — nowhere to plug my laptop.
When you pretend to be a writer seriously like I do, when you put that costume on like others do a firefighter's uniform, nurse's scrubs or reality celeb's double-D breasts and six-pack abs, you're devoting yourself to a solitary life. You are solely responsible for your daily output of work; no one assigns it or keeps tabs; nobody in the next cubicle to cover for you; no one to chat with at the water cooler or washing machine or any other place you go to avoid actually working.
Facebook provides some social interaction, which is helpful. But that's kind of like going to McDonald's for a good burger. Sure it has buns and some form of meat, but it's not a real burger. Or very satisfying.
So I get out of the house a couple times each week to be around humans, to engage in conversations that aren't going on inside my head. Like the one I'm having right now.
Any coffeehouse with chairs, people and decent coffee will do. Though that leaves out Starbucks. I'm not a big fan of the mega-chains. I prefer the small, independently-owned shops. My favorite is Simply Coffee in Burbank. Priscilla's in Toluca Lake is good, as is the Black Cow in Montrose.
And in Glendale…well...if you know of one, I'm all ears. In the end, they all have something in common: the tide of people flowing in and out all day.
Gregory, the very French owner at Simply Coffee, brings me my cafe latte in a mug, not a paper cup, without my asking. He knows I'll be joining him for a while and that it makes his customers feel special when he knows their "usual."
And I'm going to repay his kindness by occupying his prime seat, the one next to the electrical outlet, for the next five hours. That's roughly $1 per hour. A good deal for me, not so much for him.
First thing in the morning you see the retired folks that can't help but get up early. They're reading the newspaper, taking their cherished, much-deserved time. They watch gleefully as the next wave rolls in: the worker bees.
This largest segment of coffeehouse patrons get theirs to go so they can get to the office before that meeting or at least before their boss. They're rushed, staring at Blackberries and iPhones, or barking orders to their invisible assistant via Bluetooth. They have the most elaborate orders. If you ever see me ordering a "blended half-caf chai latte with soymilk, a whisper of whipped cream and the subtlest kiss of caramel," kick me in the shin.
The next wave is parents with crying babies. This is when the retired folks take their leave with a satisfied chuckle, so pleased those days are behind them. Coffeehouses provide a nice respite for parents caught between the salvation of weekly Mommy & Me classes. The trials of being home alone with fabulously frustrating little humanoids drives them out to be with others in like circumstances.
Strollers congest the walkway now littered with spilt Lucky Charms; pacifiers drop on the floor and get shoved back in place with only a wipe on the pants. Little ones eye each other curiously, waving shyly. The nightclub of the innocents.
Then come the unemployed. They slept in hoping to avoid running into any still-employed coworkers. They need to get out of the house and have a routine in order to stay sane. Usually walking dogs, they take their time too. But unlike their retired counterparts, they fill time lest the enemy anxiety return.
Throughout the day, bank tellers, plumbers and contractors dart in for their fix and back out, rarely getting off the phone. There's that group of ladies just coming from, or going to, the gym; children at school, husbands at work. The elementary school teacher sucking the marrow from his last few days of summer, writing poetry for no other reason than to write it.
And always the obligatory screenwriter in the corner thinking the coffeehouse is this generation's Schwab's Drug Store. He looks up from his laptop at everyone who walks by, praying for that famous producer who will be gravitationally pulled to the masterpiece on his MacBook Pro screen.
Strangers converse in brief interludes, sometimes over multiple days, but never learn each other's names. Topics range from serial killers to child education to surf conditions to that cranky guy who just drove away hotter than his chai soy latte because someone got water drops on his freshly washed Benz.
Gregory offers his impromptu French lessons to all who ask. Ça va? Oui. Ça va.
And who's there from start to finish? Some idiot pretending he's a writer tap-tap-tapping away on his laptop. Ever wonder if he's taking notes about you?

" It would perhaps not be amiss to point out that he had always tried to be a good dog. He had tried to do all the things his MAN and his WOMAN, and most of all his BOY, had asked or expected of him. He would have died for them, if that had been required. He had never wanted to kill anybody. He had been struck by something, possibly destiny, or fate, or only a degenerative nerve disease called rabies. Free will was not a factor. "
~ Stephen King about Cujo and his tragic fate.
Cujo is the titular main antagonist of Stephen King's 1981 novel and its 1983 film adaptation of the same name, and a minor antagonist in the 1985 film Cat's Eye. He was once a friendly and playful companion, but when he got rabies, he went insane and was turned into a vicious killer that attacked anybody who came near.
He was portrayed by Moe and his vocal sound effects were provided by Frank Welker.
Cujo was once the beloved St. Bernard of the Camber family, but was bitten by a rabid bat in the nose when his head got stuck in a bat cave while chasing a rabbit (which was shown at the beginning of the movie).
Cujo then went mad with rabies and killed any person he came across including one of his own owners, conducting a murderous reign of terror on Castle Rock.
In the end of both the book and movie, Cujo was seemingly killed by Tad Trenton's mother Donna (who also tried to save her son from dying of heatstroke), by being shot by the sheriff's gun. In the novel, he was killed after being hit by a baseball bat.
Along with Christine, he makes a cameo appearance in the 1985 film Cat's Eye, where he chases the titular cat known as General. This might hint that Cujo was back to his old, friendly self.
Cujo is given some more insight in the novel while the film portrays him as merely a dog gone mad due to rabies. It is said in both versions that Cujo was friendly dog that loved to play with the local children. After being bitten by a bat and unknowingly infected by the virus, he was afraid his master would be mad and think that he was a bad dog showing how much he thought of his owners and their opinions. When infected, Cujo starts to slowly lose his mind to where he could no longer recognize even his owners (the young Brett Camber) as human seeing them akin to actual monsters barely recognizing his voice and fights off the urge to kill the boy by leaving.
Based on Cujo's perspective, he seemingly only identifies them through small descriptions in all caps like: "THE BOY" and "THE MAN" when thinking of them. As the book progresses, we see that he does not kill for pleasure but due to some of their loud noises and other habits which intensifies his pain thus making him lose what little restraint he manages to retain. Cujo wants to be left alone after being infected to the point he is willing to kill those around him if needed. As his mind continues to deteriorate, Cujo becomes more violent and insane from the pain and starts to believe it is the people around him causing him to be sick. It should be noted that Cujo is not a creature with malicious intent. In fact, the book's ending makes it clear that Cujo himself only ever wanted to be a good dog who after his infection it drove him insane and was no longer in full control of his actions.

In some scenes of the film, a painted rottweiler was used since actual St Bernards where not capable of performing convincing simulated attacks. The Rottweiler's tail was strapped to its leg to prevent it wagging and undermining the sense of fear.
To make the dogs attack the car in the film, their favorite toys were placed in the car so they would try to get them.
There was an early draft where Cujo was also going to be possessed by a spirit of a serial killer, but was scrapped because it was seen as too outlandish and would detract from the fear the writers wished to portray in the film.
The dogs featured in the film would often have their tails tied down to their legs, because the dogs would be enjoying themselves so much that they would wag their tails during filming. This tactic was missed once in the editing where they show Cujo from behind ready to attack and his tail is wagging energetically.
A rumor has circulated that "Cujo" is an ancient Indian word meaning "unstoppable force". In reality, Stephen King made it up himself when writing the novel.
Despite being the main antagonist, he has only around 15 minutes of screen-time.

Chick-Fil-A Chief Operating Officer Dan Cathy made controversial statements recently in defense of marriage - which is Conservative speak for "anti-gay." But if he ever listens to music that isn't made by Michael W. Smith or Steven Curtis Chapman, he probably runs into - and unknowingly enjoys - songs dripping with homosexuality. Here are the six gayest songs that might be on Dan Cathy's iPod. Feel free to leave comments about the following topics: a) your favorite secretly gay popular songs, b) your opinion of this ongoing scandal, and/or c) why the hell is there a pickle on those sandwiches? I mean, I love pickles, but it's just weird.
6. The Who - "I'm A Boy"
This Easter egg in the Who's catalog is about gender identity. The narrator is raised like a girl and constantly has to remind his family that he is, in fact, not. His sisters do girly things to him, dressing him up and doing his hair and makeup. The song turns around the conformity that keeps so many people in the closet, as the protagonist lets his sisters do his hair and makeup and play dress up in order to fit in. "I'm A Boy" was released as a single, but it's far from "Greatest Hits" territory as far as the Who tracks go. But given Dan Cathy's headstrong commitment to his beliefs, if he is a fan of the Who he is likely a completist.
5. The Village People - "In The Navy"
Everybody knows that the Village People is as gay as it gets, but somehow the group is tolerated by the Tea Party demographic (who, by the way, always seems to have an LP of Go West in their collection). "Y.M.C.A." is familiar to all as a wedding staple, but "In The Navy" is gayer. Yet, it makes sense that right wingers would flock to this song if only because of the pro-military stance. They just have to look the other way on the line about "signing up seamen fast."
4. Frankie Goes To Hollywood - "Relax"
Like "In The Navy," Frankie Goes To Hollywood's "Relax" makes the gay-o-meter go all the way up to double rainbow. This means its chances of appearing on Dan Cathy's iPod are slim. But, in the event that it snuck onto the device as part of the Zoolander soundtrack, I take great pleasure in imagining the Chick-Fil-A-hole hearing the line "When you want to come" repeated ad nauseum on earbuds.

Q: Json.NET XML conversion and TypeNameHandling.Arrays The immediate problem
Came across this problem when working with a different library that uses Json.NET. We've been making heavy use of TypeNameHandling.Arrays when serializing C# objects into JSON, as well as deserializing them on the other end of the wire in our client app.
However, it seems that Json.NET's XmlNodeConverter does not play nice with this setting, throwing errors when deserializing JSON such as:
{
  'people': {
    '$type': 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[MyNamespace.Person, MyDll]], mscorlib',
    '$values': [
      {
        'name': 'Alan'
      },
      {
        'name': 'Bob'
      }
    ]
  }
}

The cause
Exception is thrown because Json.NET tries to interpret $values as a string attribute and not as child nodes. We get a null reference exception when .ToString() is called on a null value around XmlNodeConverter.cs:1367.
Elaboration
The real issue here might stem in the way Json.NET handles arrays in XML: it does not produce a wrapper such as the one below:
<people json:type="System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[MyNamespace.Person, MyDll]], mscorlib">
  <person>
    <name>Alan</name>
  </person>
  <person>
    <name>Bob</name>
  </person>
</people>

...where it would be able to add the custom json:type attribute, but instead relies on implicitly grouping elements sharing the same tag:
<person>
  <name>Alan</name>
</item>
<person>
  <name>Bob</name>
</item>

This behaviour seems a little unintuitive to my untrained eye - I'd expect to have a parent element included in the XML rather than silently dropped. (This is likely also the reason why empty and one-element arrays need extra work as docuemented in many threads here and Json.NET forums.)
Solutions..?
Here I turn to the community..!

*

*Do you know of any workarounds, perhaps some setting that makes the two play nicely?

*Is it the consensus that dropping the parent node is the right way to go about serializing arrays?

A: I get the impression you don't have much access to the way JSON.Net is being leveraged because you mention it is used by another library.  If you did have access you could consider options such as deserializing to an anonymous type then adding appropriate code to initialize your class.  (See: Deserialize json with json.net c#)
The JSON.net documentation mentions this:
http://james.newtonking.com/json/help/index.html?topic=html/ConvertingJSONandXML.htm

"Multiple nodes with the same name at the same level are grouped together into an array."
"If the XML created from JSON doesn't match what you want then you will need to convert it
manually. The best approach to do this is to load your JSON into a LINQ to JSON object
like JObject or JArray and then use LINQ to create an XDocument. The opposite process,
using LINQ with an XDocument to create a JObject or JArray, also works. Find out more
about using LINQ to JSON with LINQ here."

To your specific questions:

*

*There are no direct workarounds to make the deserialization work properly in JSON.net with arrays structured in that way if you can't edit the deserialization code.

*Both methods are valid.  Json.NET tends to target writing JSON and XML that looks like something you might write by hand while .Net serializers are designed to ensure no data loss when deserializing again in .Net.  In general it is ideal to simply use the same library everywhere - in practice Json.NET is a popular choice.

Home Architecture Tea House in Hutong / ARCHSTUDIO
Tea House in Hutong / ARCHSTUDIO
Located in Beijing traditional Hutong district, the project's structure space is an "L" shaped neighbourhood, 450 square metres large. Currently, the space has five old traditional houses and temporary corroded steel houses. The building, which originally hosted company business meetings before going dormant due to poor management will be transformed to a tea café. The tea café will be an ample place for people to read while enjoying their tea time. Additionally, the café will also serve individual dining guests.
• Repair old. The project design begins by analyzing the old building's previous data. From the structure of the wood and the size of the grey bricks, we could tell that the relatively old north wing predates the Qing Dynasty. From the already decaying wood structure on the east and west houses, we deduce that the houses ought to be remodelled from the 70s and 80s. Additionally, judging by the wood structure on the building's south side, you cannot deny the fact that it needs repair.
The repair design shall be selective because it will have to factor in the building's age, financial and historical value. Repair in the room in the north wing shall be light, repairing only the parts with serious damage by replacing bricks. Repair in the north room shall be controlled to ensure it doesn't compromise the room's historical appearance. Repair in the south wing shall be aimed at giving the room a basic style through a partial renovation of the roof and wall. After the East and West wing have been demolished, they will be rebuilt into a wood structure with a pitched roof.
• Implant new. The new environment demands comfort requirements that the previous architecture cannot sustain. For the building to be temperature resistant as required, it will have to be completely closed. Consequently, I have streamlined the visualized structure of the building, with a flat "curvy corridor" that creates a smooth transition from the past to the present. The gallery of the traditional architecture takes a half inside, half outside form, scattered high and low, significantly increasing the beauty of the garden. As depicted in the gallery, from the outside to the extension of the old building shall have a rigid, narrow impression.
On the gallery, the white, transparent white space signifies ages of time. The vicissitudes of the life mix and the dark aged architectural pattern bring forth a temperament contrast between the modern and the past while creating a mutual dialogue between the past and future. I also discovered that divided like courtyards into three random arcs, the winding corridor of the original courtyard creates three tea houses with independent sceneries, forming a transition from public to private. The result of the controlled repair will be verandas' glass curtain; wall images and ground-curved screens suspended in the air; and a bamboo forest scenery. Additionally, the steel structure beam column that replaces the decayed wood in the old building brings forth an overlapping series of old and new images, making the new and old grow together.
Significance of the project: The old city is not only historically rich but also has a complex reality. While historical value only sustains the city's value by income through exploration, the unlimited usage of the facility transforms the city into an art pattern. The transformation leaves the residents of the old city with the responsibility of maintaining the balance between the historical and art values. The richness of the environments solemnly depends on how flexible the residents are able to balance the two values. The new life and format can be seen as a catalyst to use history to enhance the usage of the facility.

Infant deaths in Hyndburn halve over 10 years
Hyndburn council has outlined measures to raise the profile of infant mortality prevention
Jon MacphersonChief Reporter
More than 50 infant deaths have been recorded across Hyndburn in 10 years.
However, the mortality rate over the period between 2006 and 2015 has fallen by almost a half, new figures reveal.
Lancashire County Council (LCC) Public Health said the number of deaths in infants under the age of one fell from an averga of 8.4 a year in 2004-06 to to 4.2 in 2013-15.'.
The figures also revealed that there is a 'clear link between infant mortality and deprivation' with 70 per cent of the 56 deaths among borough residents living in the most deprived areas. This compares to just two per cent in the least deprived areas.
Some of the factors linked to infant deaths include smoking, alcohol and substance misuse, parental mental health, and congenital disorders.
Investigation launched after fire at town centre cafe Lily Maes
Hyndburn council said they now want to 'raise the profile of infant mortality prevention' by introducing a smoke-free policy at all council events and possibly channelling extra funds into promotion schemes.
They will also write to LCC to urge that they retain non-statutory stop smoking services which could be under threat.
The council has secured £42,152 from LCC's green efficiency fund to award grants to eligible households who are at risk from cold or damp. The money used for new central heating boilers, repairs and services to gas central heating systems and draught proofing.
Those eligible for the grants could include people over 65, those with disabilities and health conditions and homes with young children or pregnant women.
Speaking at a recent council cabinet meeting, councillor Tony Dobson said: "One infant mortality death is too much if it's caused by the surroundings in which we live.
Town centre businesses and charities put on alert after spate of overnight burglaries
"It's one of those causes what we must never take our eye off and continue to fight. Any investment in the properties of the borough has to be welcomed, especially when we are talking about infant deaths and I think housing conditions are a prime factor to that scenario."
Council leader Miles Parkinson said: "It's all about improving the health and well-being of the residents.
"I think we all need to work together collectively because of the shortage of funding in social care and the NHS."

Kentucky Governor's Proposed Budget Includes Bridge Upgrades, Replacements
January 26, 2022 By Shelley Byrne
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear prioritized two new bridges over the Ohio River January 14 as part of his recommended budget.
Released on the same date as his recommended six-year highway plan, Beshear proposed to set aside $250 million in state funds as the matching requirement for federal grants being sought for three transportation priorities. The first is toll-free funding of the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor project in northern Kentucky, which includes construction of a companion bridge to share the volume of traffic on interstates 71 and 75 between Covington in Kentucky and Cincinnati in Ohio. Another is continued development of the I-69 Ohio River crossing at Henderson. The third project is widening work necessary to extend the four-lane Mountain Parkway along Ky. 114 from Salyersville to Prestonburg.
Each of the projects is listed separately in the recommended highway plan as a Kentucky "mega" project.
The recommended highway plan is the state's major document for guiding transportation priorities, serving as a "road map" for maintaining and improving transportation infrastructure.
Brent Spence Bridge
With the recent passage of bipartisan infrastructure legislation, the states of Kentucky and Ohio were encouraged to see that Congress specifically referred to the Brent Spence Bridge as a "freight chokepoint" and as "a major infrastructure problem that the nation must solve," the highway plan notes. The bridge came to the forefront after a November 11, 2020, truck crash and fire that required its closure for six weeks during emergency repairs. Accordingly, both the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) are working together to prepare applications for federal grant funding to offset a large portion of the project's cost.
"The $2.8 billion project will provide a companion bridge for the Brent Spence Bridge and rework the bridge approaches on both sides of the river to achieve the freight capacity so desperately needed at this location," according to the recommended highway plan. "Kentucky's share of the estimated cost of the Brent Spence Bridge Project is estimated at $1.3 billion in current year dollars. Using federal grants, regular federal highway funds, state general fund money, and GARVEE bonds, KYTC expects to move this project toward construction by the year 2024 using design-build techniques that have proven successful on other large Kentucky projects."
New I-69 Bridge In Henderson
Kentucky is working with the state of Indiana toward the new I-69 bridge between Henderson in Kentucky and Evansville in Indiana.
"Each state is currently engaged in building approach work on its respective side of the Ohio River, and it is anticipated that the Ohio River crossing itself will be ready to move to construction around the year 2027," according to the recommended highway plan.
The plan includes $320 million as Kentucky's share of the estimated $750 million to develop the project and begin construction from U.S. 60 north to I-69 in Indiana.
"This section includes a new Ohio River Bridge and is expected to use a combination of tolls, federal grants and state monies to complete the I-69 Ohio River crossing," according to the highway plan.
Environmental assessments for the project were completed in 2021, making it now eligible for federal grant awards toward design, right-of-way acquisition and construction. The contract for the first section of the construction was awarded in December 2021.
Other Bridge And Ferry Projects
The governor's recommended highway plan would provide $3.6 billion—nearly $600 million a year—to address a backlog of deficient bridges and pavement repairs. The governor presents an updated plan to the state's General Assembly in mid-January of each even-numbered year.
"Kentucky owns and maintains over 9,000 bridges and over 63,000 lane-miles of pavement. That's the seventh-largest bridge system and eighth-largest pavement system in the nation," Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) Secretary Jim Gray said. "It is critically important that KYTC manages and maintains these assets in a state of good repair for the health, safety and economic vitality of the state."
The highway plan noted that while the KYTC cannot predict with certainty that it will receive U.S. Department of Transportation federal discretionary grant funding, the state is actively seeking it for the three priority projects. It also noted the existence of new competitive federal grant programs, including the Bridge Investment Grant program and the Congestion Relief Grant Program, along with continuing grant dollars available through the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) and Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) programs.
Major river-related projects in the recommended highway plan include:
• $720 million from 2022-28 and an additional $250 million in GARVEE bonds to construct a companion bridge to the existing I-71/75 Brent Spence Bridge over the Ohio River between Covington, Ky., and Cincinnati, Ohio.
• $180 million 2022-27 to initiate preliminary engineering, environmental studies and other preconstruction activities to upgrade the existing I-71/75 Brent Spence Bridge corridor at the Ohio River between Covington, Ky., and Cincinnati, Ohio.
• $116.5 million for engineering and environmental work in 2022 and 2026-28 with all but $1.5 million in the latter three years for replacement of the Wickliffe, Ky., to Cairo, Ill., bridge over the Ohio River carrying U.S. 60/U.S. 62 at or beside the existing bridge.
• $26.8 million in 2023-2026 for replacement of the Carrollton-Prestonville Bridge over the Kentucky River carrying U.S. 42/Ky. 36.
• $23.4 million for rehabilitation of the Simon Kenton Memorial Bridge carrying U.S. 62 over the Ohio River between Maysville, Ky., and Aberdeen, Ohio, from 2023-2027.
• $35.2 million in 2023 and 2024 for the I-64 Sherman Minton Bridge over the Ohio River in Louisville as part of a joint project with the state of Indiana.
• $23 million from 2023-2027 for upgrades to the U.S. 41 bridge over the Ohio River between Henderson, Ky., and Evansville, Ind.
• $49.3 million for the Ky. 676 bridge at the Kentucky River and Ky. 1263 in Franklin County, with $4.4 million to be used in 2024 and the rest 2026-2028.
• $35 million from 2023-26 with just more than $25 million in 2026 for a project to reduce congestion and improve safety, capacity and mobility along Ky. 90 between the Wayne County line and the new Cumberland River bridge in Pulaski County.
• $3.3 million, amounting to $550,000 each year 2023-28 for the continued operation of the Cave-in-Rock Ferry over the Ohio River between Crittenden County, Ky., and Hardin County, Ill.
• $2.3 million, amounting to 332,900 annually 2022-28 for continued operation of the Valley View Ferry on the Kentucky River in Fayette County.
• $1 million, amounting to $144,000 annually 2022-28 for the continued operation of the Dorena-Hickman Ferry connecting Hickman, Ky., with Dorena, Mo.
The 2022 Governor's Recommended Highway Plan is based on anticipated revenues of $8.5 billion through 2028: $6.2 billion in federal-aid highway program funding and $2.3 billion in anticipated state revenues.
"My Recommended Highway Plan is fiscally responsible, regionally diverse and data-driven," Beshear said. "It will enhance safety, accessibility and the quality of life for all of our citizens. It also provides a way to pursue the types of investments we need to build on the record-setting economic development of the past two years."

I was simultaneously relieved and disappointed when I saw the InSight Baby Monitor the Philips team brought to CU Exposed.
Relieved, because I hadn't missed this super baby monitor when I was shopping for them, back when my tiny human was… uh… tinier. And disappointed that, because of the not-so-tiny-ness of the tiny human, I don't have a good excuse to buy one now!
The biggest appeal of the InSight, for me, is it eliminates the need to consider range and proximity. As long as you have a data or wifi signal on your smartphone, you can access the monitor feed.
There have been a number of occasions when this feature would've been intensely handy.
We occasionally pop over to our neighbour's place after our respective kids are asleep, bringing the baby monitor along so we can listen for our little guy in case he needs us. It works because we are literally right next door, so the monitor stays within range. But we could expand our range to 3 or 4 or 10 doors down if we weren't tied to the unit-pairing, and instead able to rely on wifi/3G/4G.
This would also be brilliant for travel, assuming you stay in places that have wifi in the rooms and common areas.
We have spent a few nights whispering quietly in our dark hotel room, or giving up and going to bed at unfortunately early hours, because there isn't anywhere else worth going that's within baby monitor range after we've put the kiddo down for the night (on our last trip, the monitor range cut out literally two steps inside the bar). Imagine being able to head elsewhere in your hotel or resort, for a civilised drink or two, while watching the happy baby sleep.
Also, since your smart-phone is the receiving unit, that's one less thing to pack.
And the Philips InSight has all the features you'd expect from a top-end video monitor: night vision, 2-way communication, temperature and motion monitoring, and HD video.
Truth be told, it is still so cool, I am still scheming for a reason to buy one of these anyhow.

The U.S. Forest Service is preparing to revise the Forest Plan for the Grand Mesa Uncompahgre and Gunnison (GMUG) National Forests starting in June and the agency is reaching out to county governments to help get the ball rolling.
Gunnison County manager Matthew Birnie told the county commissioners that the Forest Service had invited the county to participate in an early, informal process during which they would provide a staff contact as well as help identify the most critical needs to be addressed in the planning process and then help review drafts of working documents.
Since 1976, the U.S. Forest Service has been required to keep individual plans for the forests and grasslands it manages. The Forest Plans are meant to provide a big-picture view of the objectives and concerns land managers have and provide guidance to managers working on the ground.
But the current GMUG Forest Plan was developed in 1983 and conversations about updating it have lingered for years, as it doesn't adequately consider the recreational uses that dominate the GMUG today. When the Forest Service posted its 2012 Planning Rule, which requires Forest Plans to be science-based and developed with extensive public involvement, revising the GMUF Forest Plan became a priority.
The Forest Service typically relies on local governments to conduct the bulk of the outreach to interest groups during the revision process, but this invitation brings the county to the table before the formal process gets started. Commissioner Jonathan Houck said he hoped to make recreational planning, campgrounds and trailheads a priority in those conversations.
Commissioner John Messner agreed by phone and commissioner Phil Chamberland was absent from the meeting, so Birnie will accept the invitation.

Judy and Wally Gibson worked with USF to develop a powerful gift for Jesuit higher education.
Judy and Wally Gibson '55 were looking for a solution to simplify management responsibilities on various properties they own, eliminate capital gains taxes, and create an income stream for themselves and their family.
In partnership with USF, they developed a $3.4 million gift plan that provides an income for life for the couple. At the conclusion of their gift, the remaining funds benefit the future of Jesuit education at the university.
The couple's strong support for the university is broad and inspiring.
Today, more than ever, the Gibsons feel a connection to the university. Their grandson, Hayden, is a freshman at USF studying entrepreneurship.
Wally, a politics and history major, met Judy, a University of California business major, at a Lake Tahoe party in 1957, and they married six months later. They both believe in the power of education.
"Neither one of our parents had much schooling, but they supported education, and so do we," says Wally.
A native of Stockton, he is a practical, hard-working man who very much appreciates what he has been able to accomplish. After graduation from USF, served briefly in the Army at the end of the Korean War.
His education prepared him well to become a stockbroker. Later, he changed direction and became a mail carrier so that he could balance his time more effectively and focus on his private investments.
He says the decisions he made about his career and how he has supported his family — the Gibsons have two children, both attorneys, and four grandchildren — are in keeping with what he learned at USF.
The Gibsons worked with USF to create a life-income plan, which consists of a series of charitable remainder trusts. The couple, who are successful real estate investors, customized the terms of each trust to address special factors associated with each gift property.
"It was extremely easy to do what we did. So much so, that we don't know why more people don't do the same," says Wally.
For Wally Gibson, it's a practical way to support the university that helped form who he is today.

History of the Blue Mouse
On Tuesday evening, November 13, 1923, John Hamrick's Blue Mouse Theatre had its Grand Opening on Proctor Street. It was named after a lounge in Paris, France, which showed the latest rage, 'flicks'.
"A spectacular melodrama" called The Green Goddess was the first 'picture show' projected on the theatre's 'silent screen'. The headline in the Tacoma News Tribune called it the "Finest Suburban Theater in the Northwest". The account in the newspaper the next day stated that "every one of the 420 seats was occupied and a good sized overflow greeted the management".
The community theater prospered and in 1932 it was purchased by Will Conner and renamed the Proctor Theater. Forty years later, in 1972, he sold it and it was eventually renamed the Bijou in 1980.
Threatened by a proliferation of huge theater chain multiplexes, hard times fell upon neighborhood movie theaters in the late 80s and 90s. In 1993 a small group of activists and preservationists, fearing that a plan to "re-adapt" the theater into office space might become the buildings fate, joined together to purchase and restore the property. To this day they call themselves the Blue Mouse Associates. Under layers of paint, wood veneer and glass tiles put on in the '30s and '40s they discovered the original Craftsman-style timbering, stucco, brick pillars, globe light sconces, polished marble terrazzo and original mahogany doors. The same was the case with interior renovation. The theater's original architectural charm was rediscovered in craftsmen staircases, chandelier surround, an ornate trellis around the proscenium arch, decorated capitals atop side wall columns and Tiffany-style glass exit signs. At eighty five, and one of the very oldest continuously operating movie theaters in the country, The Blue Mouse continues on with sights on her hundredth birthday.

Bavinck: Faith, Works, and Assurance
September 11, 2009 September 11, 2009 Tony Reinke Assurance, Herman Bavinck, Roman Catholic
Some helpful thoughts taken from chapter 22 of Herman Bavinck's Our Reasonable Faith (Eerdmans, 1956). Italics mine:
Page 474: "In justification we are declared free of guilt and punishment on the basis of a righteousness which is outside of us in Christ Jesus, and which through God's grace is reckoned to us and on our own part is received in faith. In sanctification, however, the holiness of Christ is most certainly poured out in us through the Holy Spirit. When Roman Catholicism therefore speaks of a grace which is poured into us, we have no objection to that in itself; we object only to the fact that this grace is regarded as a part of the righteousness on the basis of which we are declared free before God. For, if that were so, then justification and sanctification, the deliverance from guilt and the removal of the pollution, would be confused with each other; and then Christ would be robbed of the perfection of His achieved righteousness and the believing soul of its comfort and assurance."
Page 510—511: "The assurance of salvation is not something which is added to the life of faith from without, but something, rather, which blossoms up out of that life of faith itself. Hence, the assurance differs according to the measure of the faith… But all this does not take away from the fact that the saving faith, such as Scripture describes it and the Reformation restored it, is not in its inner nature certainty, and that this certainty becomes stronger in proportion to the extent that the faith becomes stronger. Such faith is not opposed to knowledge, but it is opposed to all doubt whatsoever. Doubt does not come up out of the new man but out of the old; it does not come up out of the Spirit but out of the flesh. The faith says yea and amen to all the promises of God, embraces those promises, and leans upon them. As it does this, and in proportion to the extent that it does so, the refugee confidence of the faith becomes sure confidence, and it gives the believer the freedom to apply all of those promises of God to himself and to appropriate them; the growing confidence becomes a sure confidence that not to others only but to me also the forgiveness of sins, eternal righteousness and salvation have been given of God, out of pure grace, and solely for the merits of Christ."
Pages 512—513: "But we must carefully note that in seeking for assurance we cannot begin with these good works, that the faith can never firmly lean or rest upon them, and that still less can they be performed by us with a view to our achieving the assurance of salvation by means of them. For all good works are imperfect, and they are more or less perfect in proportion to the extent that they issue from a stronger or weaker faith. But to the extent that they do issue from a true faith, they can serve as aids to our assurance. Just as faith proves and illustrates itself in good works, so the faith is also confirmed and strengthened by them."
Is the Reformation over? 'Absolutely not'

Happy Reformation Day everyone!
What better way to celebrate this sacred day than to listen to Carl Trueman being interviewed by Al Mohler over the question: Is the Reformation Over?
The interview can be heard between the 11:02-19:40 mark.

Rome and Geneva
August 31, 2007 August 31, 2007 Tony Reinke Reformation, Reformation Day, Reformed theology, Roman Catholic
Understanding the differences between medieval Roman Catholicism and the Protestant Reformers is important because many of the core distinctions exist today. In the final week of September we have interviews planned with scholars to help further unpack the contemporary importance of the Protestant Reformation.
Today we post the comments of Scott Manetsch, associate professor of church history at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. In a recent book review (download pdf) he wrote it is "impossible to reconcile the classic Protestant solas with the teaching of the Catholic Catechism."
Manetsch summarizes the differences well:
– For Roman Catholics, Scripture and Tradition are two distinct but equal modes of revealed authority which the magisterium of the Roman Church has sole responsibility to transmit and interpret. For the early Protestant reformers, the holy Scripture provides final normative authority for Christian doctrine and practice, standing as judge above all institutions and ecclesial traditions.
– For Roman Catholics, sinners are justified because of inherent righteousness. For the mainstream Protestant reformers, sinners are accepted on the basis of the righteousness of another―namely, the alien righteousness of Christ imputed to them.
– For Roman Catholics, sinners are both justified by unmerited grace at baptism and (subsequently) justified by those infused graces merited by cooperating with divine grace. For the magisterial reformers, sinners are justified before God by grace alone.
– For Roman Catholics, sinners are justified by faith (in baptism), but not by faith alone. For the sixteenth-century Protestant reformers, sinners are justified by faith alone.
– For Roman Catholics, justification is a process of renewal that affords no solid basis for Christian assurance in this life. For reformers such as Luther and Calvin, justification is God's decisive verdict of forgiveness and righteousness that assures Christian believers of the acceptance and love of their heavenly Father.

Indulgences Continue
July 11, 2007 July 14, 2007 Tony Reinke Indulgences, Roman Catholic, spurgeon
This week the Vatican released a statement saying all non-Roman Catholic churches are "not proper Churches" and that those outside of Rome are of a compromised sort (that's you, you Reformed rascal). The 16-page statement from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith decrees that Rome is "the one true Church of Christ." The implication is this: If your church does not bow to the authority of the Pope, it is unfaithful. These divisive statements have whipped the ecumenical community into a froth (though Christianity Today denies the obvious implications).
The biblically discerning (like Al Mohler) are not shocked at these most recent statements. In fact, these conclusions are quite consistent with historical and contemporary Roman Catholic dogma.
Christopher Catherwood, in his new and excellent book Church History: A crash course for the curious (Crossway: 2007) warns us that Rome has not changed. "Theologically, from a biblical point of view, nothing really changed since the key Catholic doctrines to which Protestants have objected since the Reformation did not change" (p. 198). He also shows that false doctrine in Rome is increasingly prominent in the twentieth century. On the false idea that Mary is 'the mother of God' he writes, "Mariolatry in the Catholic Church has in fact evolved over centuries, and one can argue that it was not until the twentieth century that much of the false teachings about her became the official dogma of the Roman Catholic Church, as comparatively recently as 1950" (p. 81).
So I should not have been as surprised today when I found myself looking at the website of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia offering indulgences. Indulgences?! I thought indulgences died in the Reformation. After a little research, I was sadly reminded that indulgences were promoted and defended by John Paul II, continue in his successor and — the more closely I looked — are interwoven into statements by Beckwith in his recent move out of Evangelicalism into Catholicism. To my surprise, indulgences flourish in 2007 as they did in 1517.
No doubt embarrassed by Johann Tetzel, Rome is quick to say indulgences are not for sale. At least not for money. But they still come at a cost. The Archdiocese has set the sticker price as follows:
"A Plenary Indulgence is granted by participating in any event, pilgrimage, or visit under these conditions: one must go to Confession, receive Holy Communion, and pray for the intentions of the Holy Father, either on the day of the event or within several days before or after it. The Plenary Indulgence may be obtained by the faithful for themselves or may be applied to the dead by way of suffrage."
The seeker must perform these conditions at one of the following events:
"Pilgrimage to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. on April 28, 2007; Special Youth Event and Mass at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary on September 29, 2007; Bicentennial celebrations taking place in the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul or in some sacred place within the boundaries of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia presided over by the Cardinal Archbishop, or his designee; A pilgrimage to the Cathedral Basilica, the Shrine of Saint John Neumann, or the Shrine of Saint Katharine Drexel, which includes a solemn communal celebration; The closing Mass of the Bicentennial Year to be held at Villanova Pavilion on April 13, 2008."
Indulgences are never free.
So what is the purpose of the indulgences? "An indulgence is the remission before God of the temporal punishment due sins already forgiven as far as their guilt is concerned, which the follower of Christ with the proper dispositions and under certain determined conditions acquires through the intervention of the Church which, as minister of the Redemption, authoritatively dispenses and applies the treasury of the satisfaction won by Christ and the saints" (Indulgentiarum Doctrina). To put it in seasonal terms, it will help shorten the purgatorial sunburn.
This admission is obviously blasphemous: Christ's Atonement applied to the sinner is insufficient. Certain wages for sin remain, and the redeemed are bound under God's temporal wrath.
Before we go too far, we must stop and learn about the human heart. Even as believers we tend to consider the negative things that happen in life as a result of God's anger towards us, rather than the discipline of a loving Father. All things work together for our good because the painful experiences of life are not temporal judgments from God, but the purging of sin. He prunes us to bear more fruit and we bear more fruit to experience more of Christ's joy (John 15). If we are covered in the Blood of Jesus Christ, we are free forever from God's judgment (both eternal and temporal judgments).
Secondly, indulgences speak to our natural pursuit of self-righteousness. We want to earn the appeasement of God's judgment, which is to say we want to earn God's favor. Indulgences hold out this false hope to sinners. The fact is that God's elect are united to Christ and there is no more divine favor and righteousness necessary before God. There is no such 'thing' as grace that can be awarded or won or added to the Christian life. All we have is Christ, and all of Christ is ours (see Sinclair Ferguson post earlier). "Indeed, I count everything [all self-righteousness] as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ" (Phil. 3:8).
John Calvin wrote that those who believe God's grace and deliverance from judgment is distributed by church authorities, "are fit to be treated by drugs for insanity rather than to be argued with" (Institutes, 3.5.1). The insanity abounds to this day.
All-sufficient grace
Remember the old Martin Luther movie? Luther becomes furious when he sees a poor woman with a crippled child on her back going to pay what little money she has for a Tetzel indulgence. Little has changed. Sinners in 2007 who are crippled and poor and naked before their Holy God are walking to a shrine to pay the fee of homage, thinking that earning grace through an indulgence from Rome is their means of escaping God's temporal wrath for their sin (or the sin of someone now in purgatory). At best, this practice is a manipulation of the weak sinful heart, and at worst an outright blasphemy towards the work of Christ (no matter how superficially connected to the Cross it appears).
In Christ we have freedom from eternal and temporal judgments. In Luke 23 we are told, "One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, 'Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!' 40 But the other rebuked him, saying, 'Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.' 42 And he said, 'Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.' 43 And he said to him, 'Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.'"
There is all-sufficient grace in the Cross to completely cover the most vile of sinners. Without question, there are temporal consequences to sin (like being crucified for a due crime). But for the repentant sinner who trusts in Jesus Christ alone, there is no self-righteousness, no religious acts or pilgrimages or indulgences — only union into Christ! — that frees sinners from their due guilt! "Today you will be with me in Paradise."
Indulgences undermine the Gospel. Calvin succinctly writes, "Obviously, either the gospel of God or indulgences must be false. Paul testifies that Christ is offered to us through the gospel, with every abundance of heavenly benefits, with all his merits, all his righteousness, wisdom, and grace, without exception" (3.5.5).
As the evidence continues to reveal, Rome – at the very epicenter of its public dogma – was relatively unaffected by the Reformation. This Gospel-distorting reality must never escape the notice of the Cross-centered. In contending against the heresies of the new perspectives, we cannot (and dare not) turn our backs to the heresies of the ancient perspectives still alive today.

STAFFORD, Texas (September 26, 2018) — Compressor Products International (CPI), an industry-leading manufacturer of precision engineered components for reciprocating compressors, has announced the launch of the Proflo® EOS self-adjusting lubrication pump. The launch of the Proflo® EOS is CPI's latest innovation to equip compressors for peak performance and longevity.
The Proflo® EOS constantly monitors its corresponding compressor to ensure that it's receiving the right amount of oil lubrication. It will even account for pump wear, and once the output starts to decrease, the EOS will adjust to increase the flow to maintain the desired set-point. This results in lubrication savings and longer compressor life.
This automatic monitoring becomes especially valuable when the compressor resides in a hazardous or inconvenient location. It this instance, it increases the safety of employees and technicians, and it reduces costly compressor downtime.
"The Proflo EOS embodies our mission at CPI, to help compressors achieve their peak potential," said Robert Spadt, channel sales manager, distribution & OEM for CPI. "It delivers value and efficiency, but we're especially proud of the peace of mind that it gives our hardworking customers."

In 1822 a 128 meter long greenhouse was erected, in the Hofburg palace gardens, incorporating part of the old city wall. In 1901 the architect Friedrich Ohman was comissioned to build the splendid Jugendstil palmhouse which stands on the site today, which replaced the original structure.
It took five years to build Ohmans creation, which is now a major tourist attraction in its own right. It is perhaps the most beautiful Jugendstil greenhouse ever built. By 1988 the building had fallen into disrepair and was closed to the public. Ten years and $ 17m later the refurbished building was reopened to the public.
The 2050 sqm. building houses plants used to decorate official functions, one of Viennas most popular restaurants and of course the tropical butterfly house.

Writing a bunch of monthly columns about tea books, as well as some miscellaneous articles about tea books, I assumed that I was aware of absolutely every tea book that's been loosed on the world in recent years. But that's not quite true, as I realized when I was contacted recently by a company that has published a number of tea-related titles. While I wait for the supply of recent and upcoming books to replenish itself a bit I thought I'd take a look at a few volumes I've managed to overlook.
For another variation on the same theme, but one well over a century older, you can try Stories from a Tearoom Window, by Shigenori Chikamatsu. An eighteenth century warrior, Chikamatsu "set down scores of legends, anecdotes and bits of lore to express the essence of the tea ceremony for the edification of tea connoisseurs." It was first translated into English in 1982 and reissued a few decades later.
While we're on the topic of Japanese tea it's a good time to mention The Book of Tea Classic Edition, a deluxe edition of Okakura Kakuzo's 1906 volume, a volume that has remained in print, in one form or another, for more than a century. Or, in a similar vein, Tea Cult Of Japan, by Tasunosuke Fukukita, which first appeared in the 1930s and which was reissued about seven decades later.

Facebook hits 1 billion mobile monthly active users
By Michelle Fitzsimmons 26 March 2014
And 200 million 'Instagrammers'
What y'all have been up to on Instagram
Not only is Facebook forking over around $2 billion (about £1.2b, AU$2.1b) for the company that makes Oculus Rift, it's also stepping out with some pretty heady numbers for its longer-standing properties.
First up, Facebook's first true love: mobile. Zuckerberg revealed Facebook now has 1 billion active users on its mobile apps. The company repeated its December 2013 figure of 945 million monthly users just last week, but clearly it was time for an update.
Furthermore, Zuckerberg said that looking at all mobile phone usage, more than 20% of peoples' time is spent on Facebook.
The company has made much of its "mobile first" approach, and it appears to be paying off.
Insta-success
As for Instagram, Facebook's first big payout, the photo sharing service revealed today that it has over 200 million users, with over 50 million of those joining in the last six months.
Users sat at 100 million when Facebook purchased the then-tiny team in 2012.
During a call with analysts to discuss the Oculus purchase, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Instagram is "already ahead of where we want it to be."
He assured Facebook won't make multi-billion dollar purchases every few months a regular thing, but with Instagram growing, WhatsApp expected to reach 1 billion people and Oculus Rift's potential as the future of computing, there's certainly some things Zuck is wiling to spend his bucks on.
