IS BEING HELD AT METHODIST CHURCH--MANY RELATIVES HERE.
The funeral services for the late C. C. Furnas, whose death at the Stanley hospital in Rochester, Minn., Monday forenoon, was announced in the Evening Journal of that day was held this afternoon at 2:30 from the Methodist church. The sermon was preached by Dr. R. M. Shipman, after which interment was in the Nevada cemetery. The services were largely attended by a large concourse of old neighbors and friends of the family, as well as numerous relatives from a distance.
Mr. Furnas had bee a sufferer for many months and a few weeks ago, accompanied by his wife, had gone up to Rochester, where he had expected to go through the Mayo clinic for an examination to determine the cause of his troubles.
When he arrived there he was so weakened that it was not deemed advisable for him to be taken through the clinic at once and he was placed in a hospital that he might be built up preparatory for the examination through the clinic.
He had apparently been getting along very nicely and was getting much better, when he was taken very suddenly on Monday forenoon. A post mortem examination developed the fact that his anaemic condition was due to a cancer of the stomach which had been eating his life away and death was due to hemorrhage.
Friends in this city were wired regarding his death at once; by Mr. Olson, his son-in-law, who had joined Mrs. Furnas and Mrs. Olson there only that morning.
The body reached here at an early hour over the Rock Island Tuesday morning, accompanied by Mrs. Furnas and the daughter Mrs. Mildred Olson and her husband. It was taken directly to the family home, where it lay until this afternoon when the funeral services were held.
Mr. Furnas was a native of Montgomery county, Ohio, where he was born Charles Clayto, son of Charles and Elizabeth Airhart-Furnas, on November 14, 1849.
While he was still very young the family moved out to Iowa and located in Louisa county where numerous members of the family are still living.
It was on November 20, 1873 that he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Snyder at Muscatine. The continued to make their home in Louisa county until 1875 when they came out to Story county and located on a farm 7 miles north of this city where they lived until about 30 years ago when they moved into Nevada.
Two children were born to this union, they being Roy Arlington who was born in 1877 and lived but a few years. The other is the daughter Mildred, now the wife of W. A. Olson, living nearby the home of the parents.
Besides the wife and daughter, Mr. Furnas leaves numerous brothers and sisters, the most of them being located down near the old home in Louisa county. They are Elmer and Clark Furnas, Mrs. Adaline Holiday, Mrs. Belle Longstreth, Mrs. Emma Wagner who lives in New Mexico.
Mr. Furnas was a member of the Methodist church, with which he united at Johnson Grove 1884. After the family moved to Nevada, he transferred his membership to the church here and was always an active and devoted member of the congregation.
Mr. Furnas had been a member of the official board of the church, being a trustee at the time of his death. His advice was always considered sound and logical and his opinions of value in the work of the board.
He was a man of much character and purpose in life, industrious and well respected in every way, lie was a loving husband and father and greatly devoted to his home. His death will be deeply mourned by not only the members of his immediate family, but by a wide circle of neighbors and friends who had learned to know him well and respected him for his many admirable traits.
Among the relatives and friends from out of the city who are here to attend the funeral services are Mrs. Anna Mitchael, a sister of Mrs. Furnas and Mrs. Clara Conner, a niece, both of Grand View; Mrs. Henry Scheaffer of Letts; Messrs. Elmer and Clark Furnas, brothers of Letts and possibly others from a distance. Mr. A. K. Olson father of W. A. Olson of this city is also up from Cambridge to attend the services.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – The Turkish Ministry of Defense published video footage of what it said were air strikes it carried out against Kurdish targets, amid Iraqi anger.
The Turkish Defense said, in its account on Twitter, on Tuesday, that as a result of the strikes, two PKK members were killed, after they were discovered in the Zab region in northern Iraq.

Later, the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced, on Wednesday, the cancellation of the visit of the Turkish Minister of Defense, Hulusi Akar, to the country, according to what was reported by the official news agency (INA).
The spokesman for the joint operations, Major General Tahsin al-Khafaji, said that there was communication and consultation with officials of the Kurdistan region regarding the Turkish attack by a drone, "in the Sidkan area, which resulted in the killing of two Iraqi military leaders, in addition to a driver who was accompanying them."
Khafaji indicated that there are other details that will be consulted with the region to find out what are the reasons that led to this attack and how a certain party is targeting military leaders within the Iraqi borders.
For his part, the spokesman for the Commander-in-Chief of the Iraqi Army, Yahya Rasool, said: We will not tolerate the shedding of Iraqi blood," according to the official news agency.

Hands-on: Asus Transformer Book Trio review
Cat Thomas | 3 June 2013
1/7 Pocket-lint
Which Apple MacBook is best for you? MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro?
After last year's launch of the dual-screened Taichi at Computex, Asus has a bit of a reputation to maintain and it didn't disappoint this year with the announcement of the Asus Transformer Book Trio – a three-in-one mobile device which switches between being an Android Jelly Bean tablet, Windows 8 notebook and a Windows 8 desktop PC.
The switch between the operating systems is surprisingly simple, with the Android OS being launched automatically when the tablet is detached, and a hot key allowing the user to switch between Windows 8 and Android in notebook mode. The dual OS gives users access to more than 700,000 apps from Google Play and a further 50,000 in the Windows store. Impressive, huh?
Although the set-up is reminiscent of pads with docking stations, picking it up while it is open in notebook mode quickly reminds you that this is a different ball game.
At first the Trio seems a bit heavy at around 1.05kg, but bear in mind that we are dealing with a dual-CPU. Breaking it down, according to the Asus staff on hand, the 64GB Intel Atom powered SSD tablet accounts for a very reasonable 450g and the keyboard - which houses a 750GB HDD - comes in at around 600g.
The PC Station dock runs the latest 4th-gen Intel Core i7 processor (Haswell) and can be hooked up to an external display to operate in the third form factor of desktop PC. That still leaves the tablet free to be run simultaneously in Android mode if you feel like multi-tasking or keeping a couple of kids amused.
The dock, which runs on a 31WH Li-polymer battery, also acts as battery bank for the tablet and Asus says that this, combined with the 19.5WH Li-polymer battery in the tablet, results in an impressive 15-hour battery life when running in Android and a not quite so impressive-sounding 6 hours on Windows 8.
Apparently it is quite simple to sync files, photos, videos and emails between the two operating systems. You can even continue surfing the same web page after detaching the pad (and so auto-switching to Android). Presumably concerns about music or movie libraries might be overcome by using WebStorage, which although it hasn't yet been specified will probably come as part of the package.
The screen has a 16:9 ration boasts a Full HD IPS multi-touch display. A ten-point multi-touch function is also available as an option. However the glossy finish did seem to be prone to fingerprint smudging, although to be fair this was mainly evident around the edges where the various staff and models were holding it.
The chassis has the now classic Asus concentric brushed-aluminium finish and the docking hinge looked to be very sturdy, which allows for the stability required when using a touchscreen in notebook mode. The undocking process requires two hands, being operated from a button in the centre by the hinge, but seemed to be fluid enough that one would quickly become accustomed to it.
All in all this was another jump forward on Asus's part and it will be interesting to see the final confirmed specifications when they are released. There were murmurs that the Trio would be shipping by autumn this year –we'll keep you posted.
Now all you have to worry about is whether you need a three-in-one device

Q: php output buffer not working after php 7.4 to php 8.1 upgrade The below code is not printing anything in the browser. actually, It should show the header menu.
if I remove ob_start(); and
ob_end_clean() at least its printing menu without CSS.
// Turn on output buffering HTML

ob_start();

echo preg_replace( '/\n|\t/i', '', implode( '' , $wr_nitro_header_html ) );

WR_Nitro_Header_Builder::prop( 'html', ob_get_contents() );

ob_end_clean()

update:  same code is working fine for php7.4
but php8.1 is not working

A: Your theme may not be compatible with 8.1, as there are several breaking changes introduced when migrating from 7.4 to 8.1. Try adding:
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);

to your wp-config.php file and see if errors print to the DOM, or make the display false and check debug.log if you are concerned about printing errors.
Then, reach out to the theme company directly and asking if they are compatible with PHP 8.1.

A: There is a compatibility issue because the Output Buffering has been changed in PHP 8.1
In PHP 8.1. you have to use the new aliases instead of using the PHP 7.4 ob_* functions.
For example:
use function OutputControl\ob_start;
use function OutputControl\ob_end_flush;
use function OutputControl\ob_get_clean;

ob_start();

echo "Hello, world!";

ob_end_flush();

$output = ob_get_clean();

Alternatively, you can use the OutputControl namespace like that:
use OutputControl;

// Enable output buffering
ob_start();

echo "Hello, world!";

ob_end_flush();

$output = ob_get_clean();

A Staten Island man claims he was arrested after being robbed and shot because police officers thought he was unwilling to snitch on his assailant.
In his Brooklyn federal court lawsuit, Roger Arthur claims he took a bullet to the leg after being mugged in May and was then taken to a hospital, where NYPD officers questioned him about the incident.
Another victim of the same stickup crew, Seymour Gray, was also at the hospital and took part in the police interview, papers say.
"The defendants became frustrated by plaintiff's and Gray's inability to identify their assailants and thought they were being intentionally uncooperative," the lawsuit says.
After yelling, Officer Steven Cosentino allegedly lunged at Gray and accidentally fell, the suit says.
Gray and Arthur were arrested, and Arthur was forced to stand on his hurt leg, court papers say.
All charges against the men were eventually dropped, and Arthur is suing the city for damages.
"My client was the victim of a crime and was treated like a criminal," said Arthur's attorney, Richard Cardinale.
At the time of the arrests, cops said Gray and Arthur had gotten into a fight at the hospital and knocked the officer over .

Fox researcher's revolutionary study correlates scents with purchasing tendencies
Home > Idea Marketplace > Faculty > Maureen Morrin > Fox researcher's revolutionary study correlates scents with purchasing tendencies
Dr. Maureen Morrin
Could a spicy cinnamon scent persuade you to buy a Lexus? A professor from the Fox School of Business thinks so.
Dr. Maureen Morrin, Professor of Marketing at the Fox School, and a collaborative research team found a definitive connection between warm scents, consumer preference for luxury (more expensive items), and an increase in overall spending.
"If there is a warm scent in the room, people perceive the room to be smaller, and more full of other people," Morrin said, citing the research findings of she and her team. "As a result, they feel a little less socially powerful. In order to restore their feeling of power, they prefer premium or luxury brands."
Morrin and her research colleagues (Dr. Adriana Madzharov of the Stevens Institute of Technology, and Dr. Lauren Block of Baruch College) published the findings of their scent-power correlation research in the Journal of Marketing in January 2015. Their research also received mention in Science Daily. The study is believed to be the first of its kind to examine how temperature-related associations with smell affect our spatial perceptions and sense of self-importance.
For her most-recent study, Morrin and her colleagues exposed test subjects to two identical retail environments, and then subtly manipulated the scent in each atmosphere to be either warm, like spicy cinnamon, or cool, like minty menthol. They found that consumers exposed to the warm scents felt less socially powerful, finding the room crowded and overwhelming. To assuage their insecurities, they not only purchased more goods, but showed a preference for luxury items assumed to increase one's social status, Morrin said. Conversely, those participants in cool-scented environments showed no inclination toward or against the luxury items, and bought less overall.
"Cool scents tend to work in an opposite direction than warm scents in terms of their impact on how powerful you feel within a given environment," Morrin said.
Morrin, whose research interests include sensory processing and consumer decision-making, has always been interested in pioneering studies regarding the correlation between scent and consumer behavior.
The idea of warm and cool scents emerges from learned associations between foods and scents that can influence our conscious perceptions. When one smells menthol, the association is immediately with mint, which to our taste buds is cool, Morrin said, while vanilla and cinnamon evoke opposite reactions.
Morrin's study revealed that not only can scent prime our emotions, it actually alters our idea of ourselves in space. Morrin's test subjects reported increased crowding in rooms with warmer scents when the population remained constant. Conversely, the shoppers in cool-scented rooms reported increased spatial perception and a reduced number of people in the room.
Should retailers take advantage of these findings, Morrin said the market for luxury goods can be targeted acutely.
"Retailers of luxury goods might consider how their store's atmospherics impact shoppers' spatial perceptions," she said. "Aspects of the retail environment that elicit power-compensatory consumer responses might lead to a greater preference for and purchasing of luxury brands."
Morrin said she hopes to continue her investigation, and is currently working with several doctoral students from the Fox School to investigate other ties between scent and consumer behavior. The next step, she said, could be determining how ambient scents, especially those outside of our conscious awareness, could influence our purchase choices.

The present interglacial, the Holocene, spans the period of the last 11,700 years. It has sustained the growth and development of modern society. The millennial-scale decreasing solar insolation in the Northern Hemisphere summer lead to Northern Hemisphere cooling, a southern shift of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and a weakening of the Northern Hemisphere summer monsoon systems. On the multidecadal to multicentury-scale, periods of more stable and warmer climate were interrupted by several cold relapses, at least in the Northern Hemisphere extra-tropical area. Based on carefully selected 10,000-year-long time series of temperature and humidity/precipitation, as well as reconstructions of glacier advances, the spatiotemporal pattern of six cold relapses during the last 10,000 years was analysed and presented in form of a Holocene Climate Atlas (HOCLAT; see http://www.oeschger.unibe.ch/ research/projects/holocene_atlas/). A clear cyclicity was not found, and the spatiotemporal variability of temperature and humidity/precipitation during the six specific cold events (8200, 6300, 4700, 2700, 1550 and 550 years BP) was very high. Different dynamical processes such as meltwater flux into the North Atlantic, low solar activity, explosive volcanic eruptions, and fluctuations of the thermohaline circulation likely played a major role. In addition, internal dynamics in the North Atlantic and Pacific area (including their complex interaction) were likely involved.

UNO Baseball Against LSU 2014
UNO Comes Up Short to No. 2 LSU in Allstate Sugar Bowl Sponsored Event
METAIRIE, La. (February 15, 2014) – The New Orleans Privateers baseball team rallied from a big early deficit, but fell short in a 7-4 loss to the LSU Tigers in the home opener at Zephyr Field on Saturday afternoon. The game was sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
After digging into a six-run deficit, the Privateers were able to get the tying run on base in the bottom of the ninth. Jonathan Coco led off the final frame with a single to center. Jonathan Santana and Mitchell Alexander were both hit by a pitch to load the bases with one out. However, Parker Bugg who was tasked to close the game, came back with two consecutive strikeouts to finish the game.
New Orleans struck first in the opening frame by stringing together three consecutive two-out hits. After the first two batters were retired, Cameron Hoffman and Reese Kanter provided back-to-back singles. Samuel Capielano then hit a single through the left side of the infield to give the Privateers an early 1-0 lead.
The advantage was short-lived however as LSU responded with three runs in the top of the second, all with two outs. Conner Hale singled up the middle to tie the game off starter Alex Smith. Tigers lead-off man Sean McMullen provided a two-run single to give LSU their first lead at 3-1.
Sugar Bowl President Dennis Waldron threw out the first pitch for the UNO-LSU game.
The Tigers continued to add to their advantage and shortened Smith's outing to just three innings with five earned runs allowed. LSU grew their lead to as high as 7-1 after Jared Foster collected his first hit of the season with an RBI double in the sixth.
Three runs came across in the bottom of the sixth for the Privateers after Tigers reliever Brady Domangue walked the bases full. Capielano drove in his second run of the day on a sacrifice fly. Santana came off the bench to deliver a two-run single to wrap up the scoring.
A slew of new arms debuted in the Privateers bullpen, which pitched well in extended work. Blake Prest, Mitchell Cohen, Chase Martin, and Hunter Medine combined to pitch six innings and gave up just one earned run.
LSU got 13 hits on the day as eight of their nine starters notched a hit. McMullen and Alex Bregman each had three-hit days and Conner Hale had two hits and two runs from the ninth spot in the order. Starter Kyle Bouman recovered from a shaky first inning on the mound to retire 13 straight Privateers and pick up the win.

Check out my poem published on Pedestal Poetry.


June 20, 2012 By Joe | Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Here's why.
Is this going to end up being Epaulets v 2.0?
Button tab, throat latch, storm tab… it's that extra piece that hangs from the side of a sport coat's lapel that you most often see on tweedish hunting style jackets. It's a detail that harkens back to a time when the sport coat would often do duty as a functional piece of outerwear. Y'know, say a freak thunderstorm rolls up while you're galloping through the forrest on your fox hunt. You'd flip the lapels up (thou shall popeth thy collar good sir) and you could keep the wind and rain out by buttoning the gap closed with the tab. Sort of like how you can close a trench.
The J. Crew shown above takes the traditional details of a cold weather sporting jacket and slaps them on a lighter color / lighter weight fabric. The patch pockets, 3-button front, and the button tab collar are all things you'd expect on a nubby, rough, winter ready wool. Instead, it's an oxford cotton that just came out for summer.
$348 is way up there. But for argument's sake, pretend it was in the $100s like their corded cotton sport coat. And Banana Republic also just came out with one that'll get nicely priced with a sale ($128.60 when 30% off). Is this something you'd prefer to have? Or unless it's on some tweed hunting thing, does it end up being a distraction? It's 99% aesthetic, yes, but it's functionality is to help keep bad weather out. And these are summery sport coats. Has a bit of a this-doesn't-make-sense jorts-esque feel.
Also appearing on Banana Republic's new cotton blazer. These going to be on everything now?
Filed Under: Clothing Tagged With: Banana Republic, J. Crew, lapel tab, storm tab, summer blazer, throat latch, trend, what's that tab on a blazer called?, would you wear it?
I like BR's version more than JCrew if only because I find it weird that JCrew's has two button holes + it looks like it's peeking from under the lapel. BR's looks more natural and functional imo.
I would, but not for that absurd price.
No to either because they dont exactly look casual enough for it. The patch pocket on the J Crew one balances it out a bit, but the material is too formal for the look. I did score a herringbone blazer from Lands End Canvas last winter. It has leather covered buttons and really works with the tab collar. Cant find a pic but its probably the only one I would sport with the tab collar.
banana republic yes, jcrew… lord, no.
That collar just threw up in its own mouth.
The storm tab is a buttonhole, the lower one is a boutonniere. The boutonniere, while french for "buttonhole", is not used for buttons, but for flowers as decoration. There has never been a button to go with the boutonniere, whereas the storm tab originally was.
I think the button tab can look really sharp. The BR does it well. That J. Crew, on the other hand – it's like when you're watching a nature show and the majestic gazelle effortlessly gliding across the plains is suddenly sporting an unsightly erection. Thanks J crew. You've ruined breakfast.
Cool idea (reminds me of Watson in the first Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes movie), but not the greatest execution. It seems a bit too prominent.
I just bought the J. Crew sport coat. Should be arriving today. I like the look of it on the model, we'll see how I feel about it once I try it on.
I much prefer the BR version. LEC had a herringbone sport coat with the button tab last fall that looked really sharp too. I think the key with each of those is that they did not also include the bouteneire, which looks weird on the J. Crew coat.
If it exists, there should be two buttons on the inside of the collar so that it can be hidden when not in use. In other words: this is awful.
I don't like the BR one at all because it just looks like an oddly placed boutonniere hole. Like they messed up and put it on the wrong side of the lapel notch. I'd have to see the J Crew in peson but I'm gonna have to say I don't think it goes with this lighter color scheme. The button tab reminds me of hunting jackets for country use. I think the jacket should have an earth tone color to be appropriate – khaki, brown, burgundy or a green come to mind immediately. A checked pattern would also be really cool.
It makes no sense to have the button on a lighter jacket. It's meant for when you need to button up. You will, literally, never do this in the summer heat. I see this and I think it's like the "dapper" version of putting spikes on shoes. It serves no purpose and looks plain wrong.
http://i.imgur.com/Qoqjr.jpg . The fabric feels very nice and I haven't spotted any defects in the construction yet. I haven't yet decided whether or not I'm going to return it, but my impressions are very positive so far.
I guess I missed this one on the trend radar. On a tweed jacket, maybe. On a summer blazer, no thanks.
Plus, $350 for a J crew sport coat? Where's the Muytjens meter when you need it??!?
It was my understanding that, historically speaking, these button holes were for attaching a leash (my words) that was sewn into the liner of old Fedoras and buttoned to the lapel, to keep them from blowing away on windy days. Perhaps this is far fetched. I do not remember where I had heard that.
I bought that herringbone sportcoat from LEC. It was like FIVE INCHES too short. You must be a really short dude for that coat to have worked out for you. I effing hated it.


But it's really got me wanting to reach this level that this artist is at. The hardest part for me are the eyebrows and lower lashes so I've really been trying to learn how these artists get that soft sweeping look. They use different techniques so there isn't really one way to do it. Here below I tried the pastel shadow and then painted the hairs.
I'm anxious to buy more resin heads and work away at them but that's not practical just yet. It could get pretty expensive unless I'm sure I'll be able to sell them. But it is so much fun and gratifying to learn this art and hopefully I can expand on it and get more creative with it.
The resins are truly taking over. Here pictured with my 2 Latis is a MSD sized little girl from Luts. She's a Kid Delf Bory. I've named her Kino after the anime Kino's Journey. I did the face-up on her and again fussed over the eyebrows quite a bit. I'm finally going to leave them alone and she's really a cutie. She's the big sister to the tinies.
So in my title I mention about poor customer service. I had a pretty lousy transaction with an online seller who shall remain nameless. But I will be happy to divulge this information to anyone that asks privately. I decided to track down some Olsen twin dolls hoping to find a body similar to Blythe that could take the special spray paint I got to make a black Blythe. I avoided eBay and went with some unknown through another site that had a collection of online antique stores. The dolls were $6.00 and domestic shipping was $9.00 . Yes that's right- 2 dolls that come to about 9 oz and they were charging more than the dolls themselves and more than double the actual cost to ship the dolls. What's more, they didn't ship it priority mail which would have cost them about $5.00. They state on their site they ship insured parcel post. Well, I finally found out they didn't ship it insured either. If they shipped it first class package rate it would have cost them $2.70. I'm guessing they shipped it for $2.70.
So here's the lesson for the rest of us sellers that strive to give excellent customer service. Don't try to pad your shipping cost so much just because your other fees are cutting into your profit margins. If you're going to add handling fees then you sure as heck better make sure the customer gets their package and send it with a tracking number so if it does get lost, you can show the customer you sent it and you're not some fly by night scammer. I'm not going to wait around guessing whether it was really sent or not. I don't have a crystal ball and I don't expect my customers to have a crystal ball either and just take my word for it.
If a customer asks questions no matter how stupid and how much you think it is a waste of your time, answer them! And answer them professionally. This seller didn't act professional in the least. I asked for tracking numbers, I expect a response one way or the other. I didn't find out there was never a tracking number until after I filed the claim with paypal. That's a little too late to respond to my questions don't you think?
Naturally this seller thinks I'm one of those difficult avoid at all costs customers and she made no bones in letting me know that. Again, I had to laugh. I've done so many online transactions and have met so many wonderful people both sellers and buyers from all over the world. This is the first deal that went sour. I can say one thing for certain. She doesn't have to worry about ever getting business from me again. If this seller continues to run business this way I won't be the only problem customer she'll ever run across and want to avoid.
And that's all from the trenches of dolly land. I know all of us doll collectors-especially of the Asian doll variety are quite versed in internet shopping and weighing costs of shipping, exchange fees, reliability of overseas sellers ect… Here's to more savvy shopping and may you never run accross problem sellers with poor business practices and very poor customer service!
I have so much catching up to do and so much is going on. Here is my latest commission for a customer who wanted a "mini me" She's a latina Blythe and was previously a Cinnamon Girl. I re-rooted her and gave her make-up and eye chips. I really love how this one came out and find my airbrushing is getting better over time. Still got a ways to go before I get more fancy but hopefully not much further.
Last weekend, I went to my first ABJD meet. It was really neat seeing the other dolls and to get closeups of dolls that I was curious about. I really loved the Luts Delf and Kid Delf that attended. I brought my Puki PIpi and many had been curious to see one up close. The Puki's are pretty popular tinies nowadays. My Twee Twee Spurred some Puki shopping sprees among some collectors. Here's Twee Twee in a wig I made her. This is my first one and I've get to make some more to get the hang of it. It was hard finding the right size for her so I put one together.
So it's official. I'm now a resin addict and plan to attend more meets in the future.
I have closed my commission book for a bit so I can get ready for IFDC at the end of July. I took a break in between commissions here and did this Volks Dollfie man head. Then I gave him a razor cut and I think my Momokos are going to fight over him. I'm planning on bringing him IFDC and have some other doll heads to work on so I can offer them up for sale.
So, as I said in my title "famous last words" because in my last post I said I wasn't into the bigger ball-jointed dolls and then after finishing my face-up on Sooah, I felt like playing with her. I put a black wig on her and she turned completely asian and really cool looking so I going to style her up in more street clothes with a punk goth type theme and will also bring her to the convention. I may even try to make clothes but I'm still a beginner in sewing and have lots to learn. I guess working on Sooah and getting her face-up just right brought out her personality and I guess we "bonded" as they say in the doll world.
Again, sitting in the not played with pile so I will also adopt him/her out. I just prefer little dolls and when they get bigger than 11 inches tall, I lose interest. I don't have the room for dolls this size with little hands wanting to grab and tug so it's just not practical. They are lovely to look at in pictures so I'll just enjoy them from that angle.
Working on these dolls was a nice change of pace from re-rooting. I have stuff waiting to be done and will tackle those this weekend. But I have to break it up so as not to get burnt out. Here's my latest re-root. Just a simple one but less is more sometimes. I also changed her eye color, eyebrow color, added lashes and freckles.
So I just realized I think I've had this blog up for a year now. I can't believe how time flies. I was reminded of this because of a comment on one of my very first 60cm face-ups. Admittingly not my best work but hey, it was my first one. So here's my latest one. I had his picture up a few days ago but ended up redoing him and like him better now. Not so washed out looking and very sweet and innocent. I re-worked this wig too so that it would be more boyish. Gave it a haircut and turned it on it's side. I may still get another wig for him as this one is kind of funky.
So today was quite a happy doll day. I finally got Princess a' La mode after a few months of buying her. She was waiting on the release of Momoko Slow Smile Traditional. That release was delayed quite a bit so PAM now named Midori was waiting in Japan for a while. I guess you can say it was an early Christmas for me. Such colorful girls. Who knew I'd be drawn to fantasy hair color.
I've had this head for a while. It's a DIM Persia head. I was going to give him a face-up and then sell him but decided to keep him. And while I liked this face-up o.k., I started getting nit picky and next thing I know, I almost started over again. I'll take pics of that tomorrow. He's waiting on an outfit from Volk's because he's got nothing to wear. I got him a track suit because that's all I can afford at the moment. Man, the clothes for these type of dolls get expensive!!! But they're very cool. I'll definitely go for the more rocker punk look I think. We'll see what strikes me.
In the Blythe world, I got Retro Mama. I just couldn't take it anymore and had to get her. I sold some things to pay for her and I'm not sorry I had to let some other dolls go. She is so cool. She has this luminescent skin. Very cool. I'm also waiting on Princess Al a Mode. I actually got her in late October but was waiting on Slow Smile Momoko's release and expect them in one big package from Crescent. Ichigo Heaven is in there as well so it'll be quite a dolly bonanza. And that's it for dolls purchases this year. Honest, I swear… Oh wait, I pre-ordered Follow My Back Momoko. But that's really it. Anyway, here's a picture of Meringue, my Mrs. Retro Mama aka MRM.

By Brownstoner Staff
It's long been understood that, with its short commuting distance to Manhattan and laid-back small-town feel, Astoria is one of the best places to live in Queens.

Lockwood-Mathews Mansion and the Greenwich Historical Society announce membership program
Jerrod Ferrari
Two National Historic Landmarks in Fairfield County have begun a reciprocal program that will allow their members to visit each other's museums at no additional cost.
Bush-Holley Historic Site in Cos Cob and the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum in Norwalk began the partnership at the invitation of Greenwich Historical Society.
Bush-Holley features two distinct time periods -the New Nation (1790-1825) and the Cos Cob colony (1890-1920), which was the inspiration for many American Impressionist artists whose works the Lockwood family collected.
"The Board of Trustees and I believe there is great synergy between our two institutions," said LMMM Chairman Christopher Cooke, "and we strongly encourage all our members to take advantage of this partnership by visiting the Bush-Holley Historic Site."
The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum, designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971, is regarded as one of the earliest and finest surviving examples of French Renaissance Revival architecture in the United States.
The four-story, 62-room Mansion was built as a summer residence during and shortly after the Civil War years (1864 to 1868) by Norwalk native LeGrand Lockwood, a financier and treasurer of the New York Stock Exchange, who made one of the country's first million-dollar fortunes selling war bonds in Europe.
LMMM members will have the opportunity to visit the Greenwich Historical Society's Bush-Holley Historic Site on Cos Cob Harbor at no general admission charge and in turn, Greenwich Historical Society members will be able to benefit from the Lockwood-Mathews' basic membership privileges such as free admission during regular museum hours, member's admission pricing for special ticketed exhibitions, lectures and trips, special discounts at the museum shop, and invitations and notices of events throughout the year. Museum members at both institutions may be asked to show their membership card to benefit from the partnership.
"This partnership between the two organizations not only provides an increased visitor's experience," said Sheldon R. Gerarden, LMMM President and Executive Director, "but literally doubles the member benefits for each group at no additional cost. This is a 'win-win' for both institutions and members."


"KPMG convinced me that it wants to invest in the development of its talented employees"

Waiting's the hardest part for election night
Even the landslide victories had to wait their turn on a busy mid-term election across the nation on Tuesday night.
The long wait for some counties muted the celebration for members of the Republican Party at an event organized by the Rep. Mike Gallagher campaign. Even with winning over 70 percent of the vote, it wasn't until almost 10 p.m. that he took to the stage and spoke about the common sense approach in Wisconsin that needs to make its way to Washington D.C.
It was not until after 10:30 p.m. that Door and Kewaunee County results came through, paving the way for not only Gallagher won, but State Rep. Joel Kitchens and State Sen. Andre Jacque had also won their elections. Door County featured tighter races between candidates but leaned more Democratic. Kewaunee County showed more support for Republican candidates, in some cases by an almost 2-1 ratio. Races that were too close to call at midnight leaned in favor of U.S. Senator Ron Johnson and Governor Tony Evers. You can see how Door and Kewaunee counties voted by clicking this link.

Ipreo is a private capital markets (PCM) group whose mission is to drive a new level of data flexibility, quality and control that enables private capital markets to automate the collection and storage of data that will ultimately help the organizations to gain value, enhanced visibility, and increase allocations. Ipreo PCM wanted a way to increase awareness and adoption rates among iLEVEL clients during the implementation process. iLEVEL, a key product offering of Ipreo, is a data collection platform designed for private capital firms.
Our team worked alongside the organization to develop a series of animated videos to highlight recent Ipreo acquisitions. The first video of the series illustrated the various benefits of the iLevel platform and helped the organization connect with private capital firms.
In order to demonstrate a brand new way of collecting data, our team used a series of simple icons and sophisticated text treatments. The animation sequences incorporated a playful style to allow the complex subject matter to come across in a simple manner.
Ultimately, we were excited to be a part of this project. We always enjoy the opportunity to simplify complex technical solutions and connect with target audiences. Currently, the series of videos is a part of the overall marketing and sales strategy of the organization and the content is featured throughout the organization's website.

WHITSTABLE TOWN 2 HOLLANDS AND BLAIR 0
SCEFL Premier Division
Saturday February 3 2018 15.00
Whitstable continued their good form with a 2-0 home win against the bottom team, Hollands and Blair. Despite collecting only five points all season, they do have players capable of causing problems and this match remained competitive throughout. It was the visitors who almost scored in the opening moments, when Justin Ascheri raced clear only to be denied by a diving Dan Eason. Whitstable started to create the better chances though and following several near misses, Ricky Freeman was fouled in the box and top scorer Danny Williams tucked the penalty past Louis Lawlor. Tom Bryant had a header ruled out for offside and just the single goal separated the sides at the break. The early minutes of the second half saw chances at both ends and the goalkeepers were called upon to make good saves, before John Walker set up Williams for his second goal. With a two goal cushion, a home win looked the likely outcome, but the Whitstable defence still had to earn their clean sheet and Jack Simon went close with a great strike that was deflected just over the bar. Whitstable were unable to add to their score, but had done enough to move up to second in the table.
With several players returning, Whitstable manager Scott Porter had some decisions to make with his starting eleven, although Ronnie Dolan had been recalled by Folkestone after three games. James Morrish was available after suspension and started in midfield, together with Stuart West and Macauley Murray, who missed the game at Erith. Ricky Freeman and Williams were reunited up front and the bench looked strong. Hollands and Blair are having a terrible season with a 4-3 win against Lordswood and two draws being their only league games that have not ended in defeat. A glance at some of the names on their team sheet however suggested it would not be an easy game. They are now managed by Clint Gooding, whose playing career included a spell at Whitstable, where he was also the assistant manager to Mark Lane in 2010. Ronnie Porter, the young son of the Whitstable manager, was the mascot for the afternoon.
Mascot Ronnie Porter lines up with the captains before the start
In the 1st minute, an unfortunate slip by Tom Bryant on the halfway line left Ascheri with space to run into and he took the ball forward to the edge of the penalty area before shooting. The ball may have taken a slight deflection from one of the defenders trying to get back, but Eason dived to his right and just managed to turn the ball around the post. A few minutes later Freeman might have been fouled at the other end, but the ball found its way to Williams who shot just wide. Williams then did well on the left and crossed the ball for Morrish, whose curling shot from 20 yards was just tipped over by Louis Lawlor. Bryant went close from the corner, but after a bit of a fumble from the next corner the ball was cleared.
Dan Eason makes a crucial early save
Hollands and Blair went close when a cross by Ascheri was headed wide from an awkward angle by James McDonald. Williams and Freeman created an opening for West, but his shot was easily gathered by Lawlor. Austin Edwards picked up the loose ball after another corner and twisted and turned before shooting wide. On 16 minutes, the home side won a penalty when Walker found Freeman on the right and he was brought down as he ran towards goal. Williams stepped forward and confidently rolled the ball into the right hand corner, sending Lawlor the wrong way.
Danny Williams takes the penalty
It's 1-0 to Whitstable
Louis Valencia shot into the side netting after a good run and he then sent a dangerous ball into the box that was well defended by Josh Burchell, who headed it out for a corner. West released Williams, who might have played the ball on to Freeman, but elected to shoot and his effort was deflected just past the post. Murray took Whitstable's fifth corner in the 37th minute and played it short to Burchell whose cross was helped on to Williams and he in turn sent a header back across goal to Bryant, who nodded the ball past Lawlor, but the assistant had his flag raised for offside. There was one more attack from the visitors before the break that resulted in a corner that Eason punched away and the last action saw a booking for Steve Damper, who chopped down West after he had won the ball in midfield.
The ball is headed across goal…
Tom Bryant heads home, but is flagged offside
The second half started in end to end fashion with both teams having chances. Williams fired in a shot from the left edge of the box that was saved by Lawlor and then a clever ball through the home defence found McDonald, but Eason was quickly down to block his shot. After a good spell of Whitstable possession, Freeman shot well over the bar from distance. In the 50th minute, Walker made a timely interception, drove forward and played a perfect pass for Williams who stabbed the ball past Lawlor to make it 2-0. Scott Whibley was shown a yellow card by the referee as the home side were celebrating.
Danny Williams beats Louis Lawlor to make it 2-0
Whitstable were having the majority of the chances, but Simon tried his luck with a long range shot that Eason caught just under the bar. Travis Jackson, once with Whitstable, was introduced by Hollands and Blair and made a few promising runs. Bryant, who had a good game at the back alongside Rob Gillman and Craig Cloke, picked out Morrish and his ball across the box rebounded off West and went just the wrong side of the post. Another great ball by Walker was just cut out by the defence and then Williams raced down the left wing and into the box, but was unable to keep his shot down.
The ball rebounds off Stuart West and goes wide
Both teams used their full quota of substitutes with Chris Saunders, Shaun Welford and Charlie Smith coming on for Whitstable and George Keen and Ethan Stewart were the remaining introductions for the visitors, replacing Valencia and the usually dangerous McDonald. On 69 minutes Simon hit a powerful shot from just outside the box that took a slight deflection and skimmed over the top of the bar. Another mazy run by Edwards ended with a shot that was comfortable for Eason, whilst Saunders and Smith had late attempts for Whitstable, but there were no further goals and the game ended 2-0.
Ricky Freeman worked tirelessly up front for Whitstable

Spaniard Jonny Castro Otto joined Wolves on a permanent transfer in January 2019, after impressing on loan from La Liga side Atletico Madrid.
The 24-year-old can play on either flank, but has appeared most regularly on the left during 2018/19.
Otto's loan move to Wolves came on the back of solid campaign with Celta Vigo during 2017/18, where he missed just two La Liga games.
The full-back has been at Abanca-Balaídos his entire career to date, after progressing through the youth system to make more than 200 senior appearances.
In 2016/17 Jonny was a regular fixture in the Celta Vigo side which made it to the semi-final of the Europa League and was narrowly beaten by Manchester United over two legs.
Away from Celta Vigo, Jonny has played internationally for four different Spanish youth groups and won the European Under-19 Championship back in 2012.
At Wolves, Jonny bagged his first Wolves goal against Southampton in September 2018.

I've noticed something recently that appears to be a burgeoning trend, and I don't like it. Startups dangling the promise of exclusivity and early admission to their private beta parties in exchange for wielding your influence to "Spread the Word". Pssst…"The more friends you invite, the sooner you'll get access!" C'mon! If your product is good, people are going to use it and talk about it. Don't patronize me with your bad Charlie Sheen references and generic html. This is lazy social media marketing in my opinion. And its a tactic that I won't pander to.
However, it's not nearly as bad as hitting submit on a digital form only to realize that the teeny-tiny checkbox in the bottom left hand corner, yeah…the one you didn't UN-check?? Well, they opted you right into Tweeting to your entire following that you just signed up for the latest whatever on Twitter. These sneaky little broadcast methods are cheap trix and I say you marketers should be ashamed of yourselves.
I'll keep this rant short, but influence is and will be a contributing factor in the success of many social marketing activities. Yet, as with all things social, leveraging influence must be genuine. Blatant solicitation of influence is only adding to the derision of influencer metrics and the narcissists who work to game the system. The real value of your influencers will pay dividends when they choose to talk about your products and services unprovoked. Doing it otherwise is a surefire way to usurp the power of the influencers you're trying to enlist.

Addendum To Yesterday
I wanted to include this in yesterday's post, but I couldn't come up with a gag for it.
I mean, sometimes making a joke is just superfluous, you know?
Eric TF Bat said on April 22nd, 2008 at 10:15 am
You… you mean… you mean some of the games you showed yesterday weren't real??? Which ones???
MGK said on April 22nd, 2008 at 10:17 am
Someone please smack Eric for me.
Rob Brown said on April 22nd, 2008 at 12:18 pm
@MGK: Okay.
@Eric: Mr. Bird has decreed you be smacked, so tell me your whereabouts that I may smack you.
Eric S. Smith said on April 22nd, 2008 at 4:44 pm
As another Eric, more generic and thus of a higher order, I hereby nullify the smack order and cunningly play Finchley Central (Mornington Crescent in four, if I'm lucky).
Zenrage said on April 22nd, 2008 at 7:02 pm
More generic and thus a higher order? Since when do usernames follow the rules of homeopathy in regards to their potency?
But MGK is quite correct, the penis joke just writes itself here and is thus unnecessary.

I would title it 'Man-Snoopy Self-Ejaculates', but what would the actual game be?
Rob Brown said on April 23rd, 2008 at 8:47 pm
Dodging the ejaculate. Or, if you are so inclined, catching it.

How Fortnite Makes Money
Written by Jason Smith in Fortnite
Fortnite Is Free-To-Play But Here Is How It Is on Pace To Make A Billion Dollars.
For those who don't know it's a mega popular video game with millions of addicted players but unlike other popular online games like Call of Duty you can download it for free and you're ready to go a recent estimate by data research firms super data estimates that the game pulled in 296 million dollars in revenue in April multiply that by 12 and you're looking at an estimated billion dollars in annual revenue so how is this game making money people are shelling out real cash on V bucks which is fortnight's in-game currency V bucks lets you buy cosmetic items for your in-game character it will also let you buy the Battle Pass which is a way to unlock in-game rewards the gaming studio behind fort and I also raked in money by letting players buy early access to the main version of the game known as save the world mode or the most popular game mode is battle royale which pits a hundred players against each other until one person is left and comes to a battle royale game.
The main tip is survival you don't want to go in trying to kill everything that you see avoidance is key even at the high level of gameplay a lot of players will avoid each other just so that they can get that number one win while the in-game currency doesn't affect gameplay that hasn't stopped players from spending hundreds of millions of real dollars each month to spruce up their characters and play in Battle Royale so far it's been a successful model for epic games as the V box model hasn't drawn the same kind of scrutiny as ei did when they really Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Link 2017 that highly anticipated game faced an avalanche of criticism due to the fact that it not only required players to buy the game but it also incorporated expensive in-game purchases as one wing to unlock popular characters such as Darth Vader it was a PR black eye for he a and the stock it took a hit amid the controversy though it has since recovered those losses however the Ian example sheds light on how for tonight's free-to-play tactic combined with later purchases that don't affect gameplay has helped the game reach of frenzy status you know the the freemium style of video games has been around for a decade now where the game itself is free and you and some games are pay2win.
Which people really don't like when on the other hand games like dota 2 have been around forever making a ton of money on something that affects the game in no way it's just cosmetic the game has also attracted a wide base featuring many younger gamers who are drawn to the cartoony aesthetic of the game as opposed to a similar game player unknown battlegrounds which has a grittier real world feel back in January Epic Games revealed that the game has been played by 45 million people worldwide at one point concerns about for tonight's rapid growth actually wiped out 6 billion and Activision Blizzard's market value concerns that fortnight will cannibalize the company's profits and apparently Activision is listening the company recently announced a new battle royale mode in this popular Call of Duty Black Ops for game to compete with fortnight so will fortnight continue to be a cash cow for epic games yeah I mean yes for sure for that's gonna be a successful game for a long time people are always going to walk that new costume they put out every one of the worlds playing for tonight right now and that's not going away you know people under the age of 20 they know their favorite fortnight's streamer more than they know their favorite baseball player and that's not gonna change that and the numbers keep piling up epic games recently announced that it will provide a hundred million dollars to fund eSports prize pools that would be the biggest eSports in the world in terms of prize money by a huge margin hey there thanks for checking out our article.


The objectives of this report are to examine past variability in river flow regimes, concentrating in particular on recent years, and to consider the possible consequences of future climate change for river flow regimes in the United Kingdom. The geological and climatic characteristics of a catchment determine how variations in rainfall from year to year impact upon river flow variability. In general terms, the drier the catchment (as indexed by the proportion of rainfall which runs off from a basin) and the lower the base flow component, the greater the variation in flow regime between years. There is some evidence that years containing similar hydrological characteristics tend to cluster: wet winters tend to follow wet winters, for example. There is no conclusive evidence, however, that 'recent' years (excluding 1989 and 1990) have seen an unusually large number of extreme events, although the test used is rather conservative and the period defined as 'recent' influences the results. Annual and seasonal runoff totals during the 1980s were generally higher than in previous decades, and there are some indications that year-to-year variability was also higher. Data from 1989 and 1990 were not included in the analysis. Future changes in UK flow regimes depend very significantly on assumed changes in evapotranspiration and, particularly, precipitation, which are currently very difficult to predict. The study therefore examined the sensitivity of river flow regimes to a range of feasible climate change scenarios, biased towards generally wetter conditions but assuming both wetter and drier summers. Simple regression-type relationships were considered, but most of the analyses used monthly water balance models applied at a range of representative sites. Changes in average annual runoff under a given climate change scenario were found to depend strongly on catchment dryness. If potential evapotranspiration is assumed to remain constant, for example, a 10% increase in annual rainfall could produce up to 30% extra runoff in south east England, whilst in more humid western regions it would result in only an additional 12 to 15%. Increases in average annual rainfall of between 8 and 10% would be required to offset the effects of 15% higher potential evapotranspiration. The effect of drier summers on summer river flows depends upon the current summer water balance and catchment geology: the greatest relative reductions are expected in responsive catchments which currently have a close balance between rainfall and potential evapotranspiration. In catchments with a large groundwater storage, delayed drainage of additional winter rainfall may mitigate the effects of drier, warmer summers.
