In my classes you'll learn to make art using prompts and techniques that you can change according to your own taste.
I might talk about researching and drawing herbs, but you could use the same techniques to find out more about your favourite flower.
This means you won't have a journal full of pages that look like mine, but art that is from your own imagination!

Hi! Anyone even come here anymore?!?
Interested in grey Knights bits. I need shoulder pads and backpacks in particular for the power armor guys, and some terminator arms and hands. Need to finish/convert some dudes!
I would also be open to most weapons bits or even complete models if anyone wants to trade for some particular other bits (I have a lot) or store credit.
Would also be interested in any Inquisitors or henchmen (sanctioned psykers, Jokaero, crusaders, death cult, priests, sisters repentia, daemon hosts, archeoflagellant, etc.).


In the past, I'd walk past a group of people and forget how to walk or if I was sitting anywhere but the back of class, it was uncomfortable because I hate people sitting behind me. All of these confidence issues stopped me from being happy. I decided to change it and these are the things I have noticed helped me be a happier person. It's not big headed or over-confident to love yourself. In fact, everyone should love themselves, it shouldn't be a snide remark or insult, it should be part of normality! I also realised I compared myself to every other person out there "Oh she's got a better camera than me, that's why her blog is better" "Kylie Jenner has nicer hair than me" "If I looked like that I could be like that" you get my drift... I'm so glad I stopped doing this and realised I can't change the way I look but I can work hard to get the things I want i.e that really cool camera I'm saving up for haha. I also used to be friends with people who constantly tried to put me down and when I spoke about something interesting I did, I didn't get a response. I shouldn't be afraid to tell one of my closest friends that I got a job or I went on holiday because they thought I was boasting. So them friendships stopped - yay! These aren't hard tips but they're ones that people forget about! Hopefully these will help!
I'm thinking of making a list series on my blog because I write a lot! Let me know what you think! Don't forget I have a giveaway running and it ends this weekend! Check out my last post to enter.
Confidence is really hard to build up - but so worth it if you can do it and become more positive and happier because of it. I'll definitely be trying, some of these tips are brilliant!
This post is so beautiful! I think everyone should have this printed and framed to read before they leave the house every day!
I love positive posts like this, love the tips, definitely something I need to read every day!

The formation of grus from granites, Sila Mountains, Calabria, Italy
The storage of hydrocarbons in weathered and fractured crystalline rocks is a relatively new play concept on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The recent discoveries by Lundin Norway and partners at the Utsira High in the Rolvsnes, Goddo and Jorvik prospects have established the commercial potential of basement reservoirs. When crystalline rocks are exposed at the surface of the Earth, fractures and joints will allow the infiltration of rainwater and plant roots into the rock. Biochemical reactions between the percolating fluids, the rock, fauna and flora may dissolve the primary minerals, replace them with new mineral phases (e.g. clays and opaque oxides), and transport mobile elements out of the system. The result is a weathered material (regolith) that differs in composition and physical properties from the original and unweathered parent rock. Recent studies from the Utsira High have shown that the reservoir potential is impaired in clay rich regoliths, as clays clogs pores and fractures. The best reservoir properties have been observed in clay-poor regoliths, so-called grus. The properties of the regolith is to a large degree controlled by the prevailing climate under which the regolith formed. As an analog to the Utsira High weathering sections, we have studied weathering of granitoids under a Mediterranean type of climate in the Sila Massif, Calabria region of southern Italy. The metamorphic and plutonic terranes of the Sila Massif consist of rocks of Paleozoic intrusive and metamorphic rocks, locally with an unmetamorphized Mesozoic sedimentary cover. The studied profile represented a ~35 m thick profile demonstrating the process of complete disintegration of a coarse-grained, two-mica, granite that displayed an upwards increase in degree of alteration, culminating in an interval of about 2 m grus and 0.6 m soil cover. Compared to the unweathered granite, the plagioclase/(plagioclase+quartz) ratio in the grus has been reduced by 50%, resulting in a clay content of about 5% kaolinite of the total rock. Furthermore, the vermiculization of biotite resulted in a volumetric expansion of biotite that probably was contributing to the disintegration of the rock during weathering. The chemical index of alteration (CIA) increased from around 55 to 60, suggesting intermediate degrees of chemical weathering. Density estimations indicated a reduction from around 2.66 g/cm3 to 1.61 g/cm3 and thin section analysis demonstrated an increase in well-connected porosity from negligible in the fresh rock to around 30-40% in the grus. Together, the analyses showed that weathering in the Sila Mountains produced a highly porous and permeable regolith with excellent capacity to store fluids.

Rovell: 10 worst Super Bowl ads

Ranking the 10 worst Super Bowl commercials from the past 15 years
Darren RovellESPN Senior Writer
ESPN.com's sports business reporter since 2012; previously at ESPN from 2000-06
Appears on SportsCenter, ESPN Radio, ESPN.com and with ABC News
Formerly worked as analyst at CNBC
This is the time of year when everyone looks back at the best Super Bowl commercials of all time. But what about the worst ones? The ones that were so bad they got slammed in the media or started to dominate the conversation at parties over the game itself.
From The Mag: The money behind the Super Bowl's most memorable commercials
7yESPN The Magazine
I sifted through the Super Bowl commercials going back to 2000 to find the most awful spots. All of these multimillion-dollar ads left many wondering: How did this even make it past the storyboard into the real-life broadcast?
Here's my countdown of the 10 worst Super Bowl commercials of the past 15 years:
10. Beck's Sapphire (2013)
Early in 2013, Anheuser-Busch rolled out Beck's Sapphire, a pilsner beer that was advertised as "smooth and distinctive." To jump-start sales in the U.S., Anheuser-Busch used one of its many Super Bowl spots on this particular beer. So how did the folks at A-B use their extremely valuable time to promote the beverage? The choice was obvious: a fish swimming around a bottle of the beer singing "No Diggity."
9. Cosentino Silestone Diana Pearl (2005)
One of the rules of Super Bowl advertising is to use as many polarizing stars as possible in a single spot. Here, the Cosentino Group rolls out former Chicago Bears Mike Ditka, Jim McMahon and William "The Refrigerator" Perry -- as well as Dennis Rodman in a bathtub. All of them are claiming to be "Diana Pearl," which leads one to believe that they're watching some sort of commercial for identity theft prevention. In the final seconds, it's revealed that "Diana Pearl" is a type of countertop material that the Cosentino Group distributes. It's hard to put out a Super Bowl commercial that makes absolutely no sense, but this one came pretty close.
8. E-Trade bank robber (2007)
The premise here is simple: Get the point across that putting your money in banks doesn't earn you much interest, so they're essentially stealing from you. How do you best communicate that? Well, I guess someone at E-Trade thought having a bank robbing its own customers would be a good idea. There were other ways to pull this off, especially in the post-9/11 world.
7. GoDaddy shower (2009)
For as horrible and cheesy as GoDaddy Super Bowl ads were, there's little doubt they worked. GoDaddy spent a ton of money on Super Bowl spots, but it helped the company become the leader in website domain name sales. The fact that Danica Patrick didn't get a piece of the $2.25 billion the company sold for in 2011 seems unfair. Out of all the companies on this list, GoDaddy execs would be the only ones to smile at their appearance. Why? Because they purposely made controversial ads so we'd talk about them. "Shower" is the worst. It's about a guy who just bought a domain name from GoDaddy. He shows his friends his website, which shows streaming cam footage from Patrick's shower. Creepy? Check. Gross? Check. Conversation starter at the Super Bowl party? Check.
6. Fiat 500X Viagra (2015)
Looking to jump-start its sales in America, Fiat purchased a one-minute Super Bowl commercial that, including production, cost well over $10 million. The company started with the premise that it wanted the 500X crossover to be seen as a sexy new vehicle -- despite a starting price of $21,000. The ad starts with an older couple in the mood for love, and it somehow leads to a Viagra pill getting into the gas tank of a compact car, which grows into the 500X. Ugh. The tagline: "Bigger, more powerful and ready for action." But here's the kicker: From January to October, Fiat sold 5,634 500X vehicles. With an average net profit of $850 each, the company made $4.8 million on them in the first 10 months of 2015. Not even enough to pay for the commercial.
5. Salesgenie.com pandas (2008)
Every time I view this, I cringe just as much as I did when I watched it for the first time eight years ago. Pandas speaking broken English in a Chinese accent? It offended just about everyone. "We never thought anyone would be offended," said Vinod Gupta, who wrote the commercial and happened to be CEO of Salesgenie's parent company (InfoUSA). "The pandas are Chinese. They don't speak German."
4. Pets.com "If You Leave Me Now" (2000)
Even though Super Bowl spots cost $2.2 million for 30 seconds in 2000, there were 14 dot-com companies hoping to make their names through the big game. One of them was Pets.com, whose mascot was an irritating dog sock puppet. In this ad, the puppet sings Chicago's "If You Leave Me Now" after the owner leaves his dog. A singing sock puppet is annoying. An off-key singing sock puppet is worse. And no, Pets.com, we treat our pets well because we love them, not because we feel guilty. Pets.com went bust less than two years later.
3. General Motors suicide robot (2007)
GM cares about quality. So when a robot drops a screw, he gets fired. He has to work odd jobs, and when no one pays attention to him, he jumps off a bridge, although it might be a dream. Wait, what? After the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention caused a stir, the jumping robot part was edited out for future runs.
2. U.S. Census (2010)
We all understand that government organizations must spend money to do their jobs. But when money is spent recklessly, things do not go well. The U.S. Census Bureau, in an attempt to increase awareness and motivate people to fill out information, decided to spend $2.5 million to buy a Super Bowl spot in 2010. Even the driest commercial explaining how the census saves money when you volunteer your information would have done better than what was aired. If I could tell you what the Christopher Guest-directed spot was about, I would. But it makes no sense.
1. Nationwide dead kid (2015)
This Nationwide ad is No. 1 on the list because it was the worst ad of the social media era. It was so bad it actually put the nation into a momentary funk, and the memes lasted for weeks. Like many executives who had commercials on this list, the guys at Nationwide said they had no clue it would have the reaction it did. Just in case you somehow missed it, there's this cute kid who spends most of the commercial telling us he wouldn't get to do various activities. At the end, he reveals the reason: "I couldn't grow up, because I died from an accident."
Many ripped Nationwide for trying to sell us insurance by scaring us about our children dying. Nationwide, for its part, said it wasn't trying to sell insurance; it was trying to start a conversation about keeping our children safe. But the only conversation we had was about how bad the ad was. Months later, chief marketing officer Matt Jauchius left the company to pursue a new opportunity, according to Nationwide spokesman Jarrett Dunbar.
For what it's worth, Nationwide will not have any ads in this year's Super Bowl, but officials say it's not related to the reaction to last year's spot. Dunbar said the company has instead decided to focus its efforts on its sponsorship of the NFL's Walter Payton Man Of The Year Award. Dunbar said that even with the company's main spokesman, Peyton Manning, playing in Super Bowl 50, Nationwide won't participate in the game's commercials.


The Ministry of Education and Research is accountable for the Government's education, research and youth policy. The public should know whether or not their regional government is in sturdy situation or on the financial edge. If there was going to be a cost—political, diplomatic, military—better to spend prior to, not right after, the Iraqis had the bomb. The High quality Board for Icelandic Larger Education has issued a Top quality Enhancement Framework (QEF) that consists of different elements of high quality assurance and enhancement such as testimonials at institutional and subject levels as nicely as continuing and further accreditation of HIEs.
A second high point was that Germany's G20 presidency has brought economic literacy into the international agenda. I discussed in the preceding post how the largest disadvantage suffered by African-American students is the a lot larger probability of becoming raised in fatherless households. The former vice president Atiku Abubakar has said if provided the chance to lead Nigeria, he will fight corruption like no a single has. È per questo che siamo stati felici di collaborare con Allianz in un'indagine non solo sulla conoscenza finanziaria ma, in particolare, sulla threat literacy in ben 10 Paesi europei, inclusa l'Italia.
It is time for Costa Rica to embrace complete reform of the governance, funding and top quality-assurance systems of each private and public universities to respond to altering social and financial demands. Ontario is investing in renovations and additions in the Ottawa area to provide students with the very best attainable learning environments that lay the foundation for their future good results. To maximize the percentage of Jamaican educational programmes that meet prescribed standards of top quality.
I can't feel of a better way to mark this important step, and to honour the subregional character of our workplace, than assembling with each other to facilitate cross-studying and partnership not only inside but among our countries. In some circumstances, the improvements are clearly evident in other folks, the efforts are not yet at a scale to make a distinction or have not been in spot for a sufficient period to impact Indigenous students' education.

Thank you for your on-going support of the Our Future in America, Political Action Committee. As you know, we are 100% focused on delivering inspirational, inexpensive, digital media ads targeting those that are in the valley of decision about elections; especially the 2020 Presidential election! In fact, we are expertly focused on turning out those conservative voters that traditionally do not vote on election day. And, with such small voter margins making the difference in key states our work will be critical in re-electing President Trump.
In appreciation of your ($20 or more) donation please expect to receive your complimentary, silver dollar size+, limited edition, re-elect President Trump 2020 challenge coin (via USPS within 5 business days). This 2020 campaign is no small challenge. Our Democrat opponents are out in full force and are not to be underestimated. Please let this 2020 keepsake collector's coin remind you of four critical pro-Trump messages for the upcoming election.
Pro-life – President Trump is the most pro-life President in the history of the nation! Tens of thousands+ of American children have been saved, and their mother's united with their children, during the Trump administration.
Pro-America – Our economy is strong, our allies and enemies once again respect our military and financial strength. All are anxious to work with us to secure a more positive, peaceful, future across the globe.
Pro-legal immigration – Yes, that includes building 'The Wall'. President Trump is committed to securing our borders and re-establishing the rule of law when it comes to American citizenship.
Pro-Israel – President Trump has done more to stabilize the Middle East in two years than the last four presidents combined. With the defeat of ISIS, the establishment of our embassy in Jerusalem and the official recognition of the Golan Heights as part of Israel President Trump has set the standard for mid-east peace for decades to come.
Who really determines the outcome of an election? The Koch Brothers?, George Soros? the media?
The correct answer is you do; because, together, we win!
If the election of 2016 taught us anything, it taught us that when we gather our resources and our energy together, even the most powerful forces in politics must yield to the will of the people in our Republic. The will of the people is reflected in (1) Our prayers, (2) Our votes (3) Our influencing of friends and family to vote. Individually, these three factors may not seem to amount to much, BUT collectively these three factors are what truly determine the outcome of an election.
Our Future in America exists, to assist in the aggregation of resources from seemingly small sources and to focus these incredibly valuable political assets on very specific outcomes in favor of electing "America first" minded candidates. We use social media to target likely voters and message them with great reasons to get out and vote on election day, and to bring their friends and like-minded family members.
May we ask you to come alongside and financially support our efforts?

Blu-Ray Review: 'The Brokenwood Mysteries: Series 7'
Richard Marcus August 12, 2021 Comments Off on Blu-Ray Review: 'The Brokenwood Mysteries: Series 7' 521 Views
Fans of whimsical but intelligent murder mysteries will be pleased to see the release of The Brokenwood Mysteries: Series 7 on Blu-Ray. The New Zealand murder mystery series, produced by RLJ Entertainment, has become an international favourite for its humour, gentle touch, and compassionate approach to social issues.
Set in the bucolic backcountry of New Zealand Brokenwood's three person detective squad tackles the surprising number of murders and suspicious deaths that crop up in such a small town. In fact one would begin to wonder if their little community might not just have one of the higher murder per capita ratios in the country.
Whatever the case, there certainly are enough murders to keep Senior Sargent Mike Shepherd (Neil Rae), Detective Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland), and Detective Sam Breen (Nic Sampson) busy. In fact this season the series has been increased to six full length hour and half episodes from the previous years' four – so there's more murder and mystery to enjoy.
While fans will recognize any number of familiar faces from previous seasons, Series 7 of Brokenwood also sees a changing of the guard. After episode 2 Detective Breen is replaced by newcomer Detective Daniel Chalmers (Jarod Rawiri). Normally replacing a cast member midstream can seriously disrupt a shows chemistry, but Brokenwood's producers have done a great job in finding both a character and an actor who make the transition as seamless as possible.
Of course it helps that the scripts are as impeccably written as usual. While the murders are serious, somebody is killed after all, each episode continues to have a delightful sense of the absurd. Episode 3, "Dog Morning Afternoon", includes one of the most inept bank robberies ever seen on screen. It also has lovely references to Reservoir Dogs and Dog Day Afternoon contained in its visuals and its title.
However, as is keeping with the Brokenwood's overall feel, the episode is nowhere near as dark as the movies. The absolute silliness of the four would be bank robbers mitigates the nastiness of the murder that happens during their clumsy attempt. Half of the fun of this episode is watching the four miscreants keep tripping each other up and falling on their faces as they attempt to deny doing anything wrong.
All six episodes are equally well done. While the seventh episode, with its murder happening during a 1970s theme party, might bring back memories some viewers would rather have forgotten, none of them contain the type of harshness so favoured by too many police procedurals. Violence is kept to a minimum, and on the whole the murders take place off stage.
One of the reasons the show works so well is the interplay between all the characters. From the three detectives to the various townsfolk with ongoing roles there is a wonderful naturalness of behaviour that makes you feel like you've entered into a close knit community. In fact, long term fans must feel like they're almost residents, or at least frequent visitors, to Brokenwood as it is so easy to fall into the patterns and rhythms of the small town.
You would think that after seven seasons this familiarity would start to make the stories in The Brokenwood Mysteries become stale. However, the producers and writers have so far managed to avoid the trap of predictability too many ongoing shows fall into. Not only are the scripts still interesting but the characters continue to grow and develop as we watch each episode.
The Brokenwood Mysteries: Series 7 is another season of great television from New Zealand. If you like well acted and well written TV mysteries, don't miss this series.

Son witnesses father's murder during Craigslist sale
02/02/2017 1:04 pm PST
Police say James Beck was fatally shot by two young men who stole his son's dirt bike.
By Heather Holeman, KFOR
TAMPA, Fla. -- (KFOR) -- A 15-year-old boy had grown too big for his prized dirt bike and was ready to sell it.
"I got it as a Christmas present and I worshiped it, because it came from my dad," Stuart Beck said. "He taught me how to ride. It started as his hobby and moved on to mine."
Stuart's father, James Beck, posted an ad on Craigslist and it didn't take long for an interested buyer to set up a meeting.
The father and son went together to a neighborhood in Tampa at 7 p.m. Tuesday evening, where they met 16-year-old Ramontrae Williams and Dontae Johnson.
Police say the young men stole the dirt bike and shot Stuart's father right in front of him.

"To provide further insight into what happened [regarding the repercussions of the investigation into flock worker's lung], [Annals] asked Miriam Shuchman … to re-explore the story in depth" (1). Unfortunately, Dr. Shuchman focused on confidentiality agreements and, in doing so, lost the opportunity to provide further insight (2). Those wishing to understand what actually happened both during and after the investigation as well as the nature of the available supporting documentation are encouraged to look elsewhere (3-5).
Dr. Shuchman's focus led her to exclude the ugly aspects of the story; to prettify what remained; and to portray conflicting claims as equally reasonable, equally truthful, and comparably founded on ethical principles. How easy it was then for her to write: "The debate essentially revolves around who holds the higher moral ground: scientists who share their findings in an effort to protect patients from harm or scientists who honor signed contracts by guarding the confidentiality of their sponsors." Although monetary profit and public health are both goals many consider worthy, to balance them on a moral playing field is pernicious. Nothing can be learned about these issues from someone who places in the moral sphere a company's drive to maximize profits. Dr. Shuchman's orientation could not have better served the interests of the company, the hospital, and the university because these parties, all along, have focused on confidentiality agreements to rationalize their behavior. Yet, even they never argued that their actions were based on ethical considerations.

Q: Leading tabs in pasted tables - MS Word for Mac version 15.18 I am pasting tables into a doc created in MS Word for Mac version 15.18.
I am using either the keyboard shortcut or "paste using destination styles".
Whichever method, in every cell I get leading tabs which I have to then delete by hand.
N.B. These tabs are not in the destination table style as far as I can see. Unless there is some kind of hidden default in Excel, there are no leading tabs in the source table.
Anyone know:

*

*Where the tabs are coming from?

*How to switch them off?

I tried e.g. changing the cell format in Excel to "Text" but no change.

A: Tabs is in MS Word Home Tab, Paragraph Group click on the arrow near Paragraph then Tabs and clear all
maybe the table you are copying contains Tabs spacing

The following link will take you to a short video aimed at parents to give outline information about the new national curriculum tests for Key Stage 1.
The reading test will involve two separate papers. Each paper is worth 50% of the marks and should take around 30 minutes but the children will not be strictly timed as the tests are not intended to assess children's ability to work at speed. The texts in the reading paper will cover a range of fiction, non-fiction and poetry and will get progressively more difficult towards the end of the test.
Short Answer e.g what does the bear eat?
The children will sit two separate papers. Paper 1 is a 20-word spelling test taking around 15 minutes and paper 2 is a grammar, punctuation and vocabularly test which involves multiple choice questions and writing short answers.
The children will sit two separate papers. Paper 1 is arithmetic and takes around 15 minutes. Paper 2 is mathematical fluency, problem solving and reasoning, taking around 35 minutes. Children will not be able to use any tools such as calculators or number lines.
Although the tests are set externally, they will be marked by teachers within the school. Children will be given a standardised score – although this may not be communicated to parents. Teacher assessments will be used to build up a picture of your child's learning and achievements. Your child will receive an overall result saying whether they have achieved the required standard in the tests. The Department for Education aims for 85% of children to reach the required standard.

Casey doesn't have much luck in the dating department, so when her girlfriends ditch their girls only weekend for a couple's retreat, she's forced to take desperate measures. Refusing to be the only single one, she does what any quick-thinking girl would do: She lies. It was almost too easy hiring a stranger to pretend to be her hot, rich, successful boyfriend. What she didn't plan on was him being hot, successful, and way too much trouble for her liking. Jim was in a slump in his everyday life. He was bored and needed something to spice up his life. Accepting a gig to play the perfect boy toy was not what he had in mind, but it was too good to turn down. What he didn't plan for was the smokin' little spitfire who hired him. It's a con, a job, a fraud. But the more she's in his presence, the more he realizes she may be more than just a ruse. Three days at a lake house. Two strangers who cause a lot of mayhem. One little lie. What could go wrong?

Out of Options: A Century Cottage Cozy Mysteries by Dianne Ascroft
Out of Options: A Century Cottage Cozy Mysteries
Prequel Novella
Independently Published (April 28, 2019)
Digital ASIN: B07R4GQWQN
Out of Options is a prequel novella to the Century Cottage Cozy Mysteries series, and introduces Lois Stone and her companions, Raggs and Ribbons, a pair of perceptive calico cats.
A dry district, a shocking secret, a missing person. When Lois Stone's friend, Beth Darrow, arranges to meet her to reveal an astonishing discovery, Lois's curiosity is piqued. Then Beth doesn't keep their lunch date and Lois becomes worried. What has happened to her friend?
Middle-aged widow Lois is settling into life on her own in her neighbourhood and in the library where she works, and she is just about coping with her fear of strangers after her husband was mugged and died in the park at the end of their street. But her quiet existence is rocked when her friend and fellow local historical society researcher, Beth, arranges to meet her to reveal an exciting and shocking discovery she has made about the history of prohibition in West Toronto Junction, the last dry area in Toronto, and then goes missing before she can share her secret with Lois. There isn't any proof that Beth is missing so the police won't actively search for her. Only Lois and Beth's niece Amy are convinced that Beth's disappearance is very out of character, and they are worried about her. Where has Beth gone? Is she in danger? And, if she is, who might want to harm her and why? Lois knows she must find the answers to these questions fast if she wants to help and protect her friend.
And so begins a weekend of skulking in the park, apple and cinnamon pancakes, familiar faces staring out of old newspapers, calico cats, shadows on the windowpane, and more than one person who might want Beth to disappear from the quiet, leafy streets of the historic and staunchly dry West Toronto Junction neighbourhood.
It's a very compelling story set in the 80s, it was a pleasant journey back in time.
Lois is a widow and works in a library. She is very worried about the disappearance of her friend Beth, she had to tell her something she had discovered. Since the police are doing nothing, she and Beth's niece are trying to find her by themselves.
The characters are really lovable, Lois is a very sweet but also strong and determined lady, she has lost her husband a few years ago but has not yet fully mourned and the dynamics of her death are still not completely clear
Very intense and touching the short story at the end where she tells how she lost her husband
It was a quick and pleasant read, a great start for this new series that promises to be delicate and engaging
Very recommended

At a certain point, it stopped being surprising that Donald Trump would take Vladimir Putin's side in regards to…well anything really. He has made it perfectly clear that he admires the man, and that he'll take the man's word over his own intelligence networks. But now Trump is at the point where he's parroting the man's talking points in his own interviews. When Trump starts acting as a surrogate or representative of the Putin Regime…I mean seriously, where are we then? When does it stop being a joke that Putin is really leading the country?
This comic was tagged Comedy, Comic, Donald Trump, humor, Politics, Puppet, Russia, Russia Investigation, Vladimir Putin, webcomic.


It comes with a tennis court, a two-story master suite, and vast ethical complications.
Trump at Trump Doral Golf Resort & Spa for the World Gold Championships-Cadillac Championship in 2015.
A friend who . . . maybe enjoys traditional Caribbean activities like shirtless horseback rides? At the very least, whoever buys the place will need a Putin-size pocketbook, and a willingness to overpay. The property, previously owned by Indiana businessman Steve Hilbert and his wife, Tomisue, was reportedly initially listed as $28 million, but it's now listed as "price on application." Properties around the Trump property, though, are asking for about $10 million less than the $28 million originally assigned to Le Chateau des Palmiers.
The president made $200,000 to $2 million in rental fees between 2014 and mid-2016, according to financial disclosures reviewed by the Post. As the Post also notes, Trump placed his business holdings in a revocable trust overseen by his son, Don Jr., but, according to experts, did not give up control of his assets upon taking office. So if you believe that he won't eventually financially benefit from the sale, we have a $28 million gold-covered mansion to sell you.
If this property piques your interest, it might be best to act now. It's the one thing of Trump's that the Russians don't seem to have their hands on—yet.
Sotheby's International Realty was unable to comment on the property when reached by Vanity Fair.

Q: Offline installation of CUDA runtime package I am attempting to install the CUDA runtime package on a machine with no access to the internet.
Current method:
curl -o /tmp/cuda_key.pub
http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1604/x86_64/7fa2af80.pub
apt-key add /tmp/cuda_key.pub
curl -o /tmp/cuda/cuda_install.deb "https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1604/x86_64/cuda-repo-ubuntu1604_9.1.85-1_amd64.deb"
dpkg -i /tmp/cuda/cuda_install.deb
apt-get update && apt-get --download-only install -y --allow-unauthenticated cuda-runtime-9-2=9.2.148*

When I try install this on a different machine by running the following command it fails:
dpkg -i *.deb

This method works only when I have access to the internet to fix the broken packages via
apt install -f

Is there a method currently to install cuda-runtime-9-2=9.2.148* completely offline?
Thanks for your time.

A: According to documentation of CUDA 9.2 it should be possible. Please also take care about your Ubuntu version. CUDA 9.2 supports Ubuntu 16.04 and 17.10. If you want to use Ubuntu 18.04 then use CUDA 10.
Install repository meta-data
$ sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-<distro>_<version>_<architecture>.deb

Installing the CUDA public GPG key
When installing using the local repo:
$ sudo apt-key add /var/cuda-repo-<version>/7fa2af80.pub

Update the Apt repository cache
$ sudo apt-get update

Install CUDA
$ sudo apt-get install cuda

Please check also the pre and post installation steps in documentation!

Q: I need help converting VB.Net code block to C# (Setting Property with DataTable Value) I am writing my first C# application, which in this case is just a "learning exercise" This example is a simplified block of code that I have used many times in VB.Net so I know that it works correctly. This is what the VB code looks like.
Public Class User
    Private Const CN_LoginId As String = "Login"
    Private Const CN_Password As String = "Password"
    Private _password As String

    Public Property Password() As String
        Get
            Return _password
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            _password = value
        End Set
    End Property

    Public Shared Function Create(ByVal Login As String) As User
        Dim usr = New User()

        Using dt As DataTable = DAC.ExecuteDataTable("usp_PasswordSelect", _
            DAC.Parameter(CN_LoginId, Login))
            With dt.Rows(0)
                usr.Password = CStr(.Item(CN_Password))
            End With
        End Using

        Return usr
    End Function
End Class

So in C# I have tried converting it by hand and by using Telerik's online conversion utility, which is what I am posting below because I am assuming that it is closer to the right answer then what I did myself.
public class User
{
    private const string CN_LoginId = "Login";
    private const string CN_Password = "Password";
    private string _password;
    public string Password
    {
        get { return _password; }
        set { _password = value; }
    }

    public static User Create(string Login)
    {
        object usr = new User();

        using (DataTable dt = DAC.ExecuteDataTable("usp_PasswordSelect",
            DAC.Parameter(CN_LoginId, Login)))
        {
            {
                usr.Password = Convert.ToString(dt.Rows(0).Item(CN_Password));
            }
        }

        return usr;
    }

}

The first error I get is on this line usr.Password = Convert.ToString(dt.Rows(0).Item(CN_Password));. The error is "Error 1 'object' does not contain a definition for 'Password' and no extension method 'Password' accepting a first argument of type 'object' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
At this point I am assuming the second error will go away when I fix the first one. So my question is how do I correctly set the property for this Object using the DataTable in C#?

A: You need to declare the type of user (in your code user is an object that is at runtime a USer, but not at compiletime). You can do the following:
var user = new User();

or
User user = new User();

In addition to the comments.
As Jonathan Dickinson correctly says ,
user.Password = dt.Rows[0]["Password"];

should do it since this is an indexer.

A: Here's how I'd write it:
public class User
{
    private const string CN_LoginId = "Login";
    private const string CN_Password = "Password";

    public string Password { get; set; }

    public static User Create(string Login)
    {
        User usr = new User();
        using (DataTable dt = DAC.ExecuteDataTable("usp_PasswordSelect",
            DAC.Parameter(CN_LoginId, Login)))
            {
                usr.Password = Convert.ToString(dt.Rows[0][CN_Password]);
            }
        return usr;
    }
}

Some notes:

*

*C# accesses arrays using square brackets, not parens.  So Rows(0) isn't correct - it should be Rows[0].

*I agree with Bernard that you should declare the User object as a User, and not as  an object.  You'll lose all visibility into it's properties.  You can also use var, but if you're learning C#, you may be better off explicitly declaring your variable types.  It can make for duplicate declarations (e.g. User u = new User()) but at least you'll see clearly what types your variables are.

*You don't need to access array items using Item...just get it as an element in the row element you're working with.  That's why I have the double array for dt.Rows[0][CN_Password].  Again, C# uses square brackets, not parens for accessing array elements.

*This is just a style thing, but I removed your _password field and just used an automatic property for Password.  I didn't see _password being used in your code and thought it would just clutter things up.  Automatic properties have a backing field automatically created by the compiler, so you don't have to keep track of the variable and the property.  If you're using a lot of properties, this can be a big time saver.

As a CIO and consultant I've led the IT due diligence and assimilation efforts in over 40 company acquisitions.
To help me accomplish this effort, I developed a process and tools early on that made it possible to conduct an effective due diligence discovery and implement a smooth transition in managing a company's technology resources.
My process and tools are equally effective for company acquisition projects or general IT assessment needs.
Attend our IT Due Diligence and Assimilation Program and prepare yourself to take on an IT assessment effectively and productively.
This program provides the most comprehensive resources, tools and insight on IT due diligence and assimilation in the industry.
NOTE: The three classes in this product are recorded from a past "live program". When you register, you will receive an email message with private access to the web portal to access the training plus links to download the BONUS Materials.
The key to an effective IT assessment is knowing what to look for and having a process and tools that help you make it all happen.
The entire process and tools developed by Mike Sisco have been "battle tested" and used in over forty company acquisitions plus many general IT assessments. This is not theory. It is a proven system that Mike still uses to conduct an IT Due Diligence and IT assessments in his consulting company.
The class structure walks you through the entire process from start to finish, just as if you were actually conducting an IT due diligence and preparing to assimilate the technology of a new company. During each key stage, you will learn "insider secrets" gained from years of experience on what to do to reduce risk and to focus the IT organization on key issues to gain the most opportunity in a company.
Many times, your effectiveness is based upon "how you go about the work" as much as what you do. Mike includes many insights that will help every participant better understand that the "approach" and how you conduct yourself makes a very big difference.
A quick, 20-minute overview of IT due diligence and the process I use is the best way to get started. You can use this session to present to others in your company about the importance in conducting a thorough IT due diligence to support a company acquisition.
This one hour flash presentation gives you an excellent perspective about the process of conducting an IT due diligence, how it fits into the overall due diligence effort, and what's important.
I learned a lot in conducting an IT due diligence to support over 40 company acquisitions. This presentation gives you 25 specific tips and "gotchas" you need to be aware of and key insights from an acquisition veteran.
This graphic depicts the entire process of conducting an IT due diligence and planning the transition activities. They say, "A picture is worth a thousand words." This process provides an executive management perspective of what will take place and is an excellent tool to use when discussing the process with others.
It's just as important to know what to do after the deal is completed. This e-book and tools will help you implement a smooth transition of the technologies and support other departments of your company with their initiatives that have technology implications.
Developing a transition plan is a key part of your acquisition and this e-book will help you develop a plan that's in sync with your business and focused on company needs.
In any acquisition, you want to find financial leverage opportunities. This e-book and tools will help you quantify cost savings in the company and positions you to be a hero in helping your company leverage the new company purchase.
Basics are always helpful and this book is referenced by thousands of IT managers around the world.
The actual tools I use when conducting an IT due diligence or technology assessment. There are over 20 tools in all. Each tool includes instruction and examples to help you use them right away. Plus, they are provided in WORD and EXCEL file formats so you can modify them as needed for unique situations.
Learn about my experience of conducting due diligence on a company with ten different organizations, all with different technologies and IT organizations scattered across the United States. This project was accomplished successfully because I had already developed a due diligence process and tools that worked. These tools and process were invaluable to me and they will be to you as well.
This is a question that gets asked quite often when company acquisitions occur. If you are going to conduct due diligence on a company, it helps to understand what is about to go on in the IT staff's mind when they hear their company has been or is about to be acquired. Key insights from real world situations.
Mike Sisco is a former CIO of more than twenty years and has conducted forty-five IT due diligence and assimilation projects. In fact, as the CIO for one company, he was responsible for the IT assessment and transitions of 35 company acquisitions in helping his company grow from $30 million in revenue to over $650 million in just 5½ years.
In this particular company, each department head had the responsibility for getting their portion of due diligence completed, for developing the transition plan for the new company's department, and for managing the actual transition activities once the acquisition was completed.
Mr. Sisco was very successful in these responsibilities because of the IT due diligence process and tools he developed to help him in these efforts.
You will receive the entire process, resources and tools Mike developed and used himself for many years with complete explanations on how to use them to conduct successful IT due diligence and assimilation transitions.
This process and tools are equally effective for general IT assessments as well as conducting IT due diligence to support a company acquisition.

So much has happened lately it's almost hard to believe only last year, I was a first-time author myself, with a lot of bills on my hands.
I didn't have any publishing or marketing experience but I had written a book because I had a message I wanted to share with others. When my book came out, I found out that self-published books printed with POD (Print on Demand) technology were not accepted by traditional bookstores, because of their "non-returnable" status. I tried book signings and many other traditional book promotion methods but I wasn't selling many books.
Nothing seemed to be working and I was getting very frustrated. I'd written my book so others could benefit from it—not to see it sit there on Amazon.com unsold, ranked in the 900,000th position!
Nothing was working for me, until two fellow authors taught me their "Almost Zero Cost Amazon Bestseller Formula"
These two authors both used a very unique method to make their self-published books Amazon.com bestsellers almost overnight and at practically no cost.
In short, the formula involves getting people with big email lists to send out an announcement asking people to buy your book on a given day at Amazon. This method isn't "spamming" because only "opt-in" email lists are used.
To motivate people to purchase the book, you promise them a lot of digitally-downloadable "bonus gifts" for when they submitted their Amazon email receipt. For instance, buy a $20 book and you could get $500 of more of extra bonuses—a tremendous incentive to buy the book. Even better, because the formula uses email, it costs almost nothing to promote the book!
When they taught me about their "Almost Zero Cost Bestseller Formula" I knew it was the answer I'd been looking for.
I also realized while their method was simple in concept, it had to be implemented very carefully and wouldn't work if I unknowingly made even minor mistakes.
So to help other authors become successful, I've launched the Amazon Bestseller Mentoring Program which will teach you everything you need to know to make your book an Amazon.com Bestseller—and avoid a ton of expensive, embarrassing and time consuming mistakes in the process.
The VALUE of being recognized as a "Bestselling Author" is worth a king's ransom. This type of status cannot be bought. When you get there by becoming an Amazon Bestseller, you'll have the "International BESTSELLING AUTHOR" status FOREVER!
NOW I'm going to show you exactly what you can do to make your own book a Bestseller in just 42 days after you complete my mentoring program.
In my unique mentoring program, I'm going to step you through precisely what you need to do to launch your bestseller campaign in a way that is very precise. One false step in this process can cause the entire campaign to create more problems then you would care to experience, but this mentoring program is going to show you how to avoid those horrendous and money-losing pitfalls.
Follow my lead and get ready for celebrity status. . .
Want To Sell More Books In One Day Than Most Authors Sell In An Entire Year?
No matter whom you are, no matter how much or little marketing expertise you have, you have to be more creative than ever to sell books. I've heard the horror stories of authors mortgaging their homes, running up their lines-of-credit and maxing out their credit cards ending up with huge debt and totally disillusioned—and they're still sitting with a huge inventory of books. But, I can show a formula that could quite possibly allow you to sell more books in one day than most authors sell in an entire year! Obviously results vary according to the quality of your book and efforts, but I've seen results like these time-and-time again.
If being able to sell lots of books whenever you want is something you'd like to do, you can have it. In this unique program you'll discover every step of a remarkable recipe for book success!
Listen, I'm an author too, and know very well how challenging it can be to get a book to the top of the charts, keep it there and keep selling lots of copies. But once you learn the proven repeatable formula you can do it again and again and again.
I've Refined My Bestseller Strategy Into a "Recipe" So You Can Follow It Step-By-Step Like Baking a Cake!
Here's why it'll work for you: I'm an author myself whose been there, (and done it with great success!), and participated in dozens of others bestsellers campaigns. You are working with an author who "walks the talk". I've deciphered the hidden formula, mastered each fundamental step and in a carefully mastered program I'll show you everything you need to do to create your own bestseller.
WARNING: one false error in a campaign can make it dive bomb faster than a lead balloon. My greatest concern is witnessing other authors attempting to follow this procedure without having the right expertise and end up with another enormous expensive book marketing endeavor gone sour. I don't want that to happen to you!
I created this program because other authors were pleading with me to hold their hand and show them the way... the right way. If you're like most authors, you just don't have the time to create the network, which is why you get to start with mine.
Now I've set it up in a way that will walk you through every one of the proven strategies to have you be the next Amazon Bestselling Author. You'll get everything—every vital component to create your online campaign that will have your book soar right up to the top of the charts; seamlessly and harmoniously.

She is offering more then a course, she is providing priceless wisdom that can only come from research, experience and a heart that wants to see you successful and reach your full potential.

"The information and advice that Sally has given me has saved me thousands of dollars and countless hours of research. She's done the work, and she knows the secret tricks that other authors hope that the rest of us will never find out. And she's found a way to present the information that's actually fun and interesting. I can't recommend Sally's mentoring course enough!"
"Sally—thank you for your high energy, action-packed teleseminar program on How to Become an Amazon.com Bestseller. It was great! You shared so many ideas, website links and success tips, that I was blown away. I've been on many other teleseminars on this topic that didn't reveal a tenth of what you shared. You took it to the 'How to do it' level and shared from your heart. I was writing as fast as I could and took pages of notes. Everyone who wants to know how to do it, should take your course."
"Wow! What can I say! You are truly the wind beneath my wings! You've inspired me to remember to dig deep and really give of myself, fearlessly pushing all the doubts aside. I am so truly proud and honored to be guided and coached by you! You are a one-woman media generating machine, a force to be reckoned with and a true guru in the field of self publishing! Sally Shields, you rock my world!"
"Sally Shields has been such a gift to me! I will always remember that she was the first author to invite me to participate in a joint venture partnership. It opened up my marketing world for my own books. Taking her newsletter, I was delighted when she began sharing secrets and tips to book publishing, marketing, and how to be an Amazon.com best selling author! Every time her newsletter arrives in my inbox, I gobble it up for new ideas that point me in this or that direction I haven't yet considered but now will because Sally did it first! Even something as simple as ALWAYS carrying a copy of my book in my purse to share at a moment's notice is a treasure I received from Sally!
As a relationship coach, I believe relationships determine the quality of our lives. Whether Sally is sharing from the perspective of the 101 DIL Rules or coaching for marketing and promoting your first or next book, the relationship with Sally enriches people's lives!"
Sarah Elizabeth Malinak, M. Div.
"I commenced my first book launch in November, 2008 after going through an online mentoring program. I think the mentoring program is incredible and does a phenomenal job of teaching one how to market their book to become an online bestseller, and I think anyone planning on marketing their own book would do well to go through that program.
That said however, I would NOT have successfully made it to launch day, much less landed as a bestseller, had it not been for Sally Shields.
Initially I came in contact with Sally after having asked her to be a JVP in the promotion of my new book. I had never heard of The Daughter in Law book or website prior to this time, was unfamiliar with her personally; and had no idea the depth or breadth of her talents. I only knew there was this remarkable example of a launch where this woman managed to secure 108 bonus gifts. 108 bonus gifts! When I first approached Sally, I had four and was thinking I was on a roll!
I can only say this: crossing paths with Sally Shields is one of the best things to have ever happened to me. I can only believe it was a guardian angel that somehow orchestrated our intersection because there is simply no other way to explain my good fortune in having stumbled upon her.
And now that I have (stumbled upon her, that is) it's hard for me to believe I have not known her my entire life. Sally just has that effect upon a person—I feel like she has been my best friend since pre-school, cheering me on with every new endeavor I undertake (never mind that she probably wasn't even a glint in her parent's eyes when I was in pre-school!!!).
I could go on for hours about all the things I love about this woman—how she guided me through my launch step by step; how she encouraged me, shook the pompoms, shared my success; and how she ran interference for me when there were unforeseen glitches that occurred. But even if I did (go on for hours and hours), I would not be able to touch upon the depth of my gratitude, the extent of my amazement or the joy in my heart for knowing her.
The best I can do is simply recommend her. Once touched by Sally, you will understand why there are not words in a dictionary to describe this Vincenta Lombardi of book promotion. She coached through my first launch; I would have no one else coach me through successive launches; and I suspect that in more ways than just this, Sally will remain my coach for many years to come.
I just wished she lived in the same part of the country I did so I could take piano lessons from her too!!!!"
"Thanks to you, who mentored me every step of the way, the book did quite well on it's launch day. It would not have risen up at all from the bottom of Amazon's list were it not for your very personal support and assistance —you went beyond dutifully doing it into sincerely and lovingly doing it. I felt it. So naturally and effortlessly, you turned my feelings from being a client to a fan and a friend. For this, I am so grateful.
Once again, thanks, so much, from the deepest part of me. I am so happy that in the process of doing this, I found something to treasure the most—your friendship. With much gratitude and appreciation,"
"During the months of October and November 2009, I have had the privilege of working with Ms. Sally Shields as my Marketing Coach. Sally has helped me market my book, Cash In on the Obama $3 Trillion Spending Plan. Sally Shields is a phenomenal force of nature and when it comes to advising people on how to market their book, there is no equal. She speaks from experience having learned the lessons she promotes in her counseling sessions from selling her own book, The Daughter-in-Law Rules: 101 Surefire Ways to Make Friends with Your Mother-In-Law! Her book is a perennial best seller on Amzaon.com and other venues. (I know this for a fact because I checked her out on Amazon myself.) Her advice is timely and thought provoking and is targeted toward helping her client maximize sales of his/her book. There is no one whom I would rather have in my corner than Sally Shields.
Another thing about Sally is her enthusiasm. Pick the most positive thinker you can imagine and my guarantee is that that person would seem like a negative thinker when compared to Sally. The closest I came was a fellow Colonel I served with in the Air Force who I used to think made Norman Vincent Peale look like a negative thinker and that Colonel falls far short when compared to Sally's enthusiasm. Would I recommend Sally as a marketing coach? The answer is an unqualified YES!, YES!, YES!"
author of, Cash In on the Obama $3 Trillion Spending Plan!
"I have worked with other so called experts before Sally that promise the world and just don't deliver, but I will tell anyone that you are the exception, you have been so generous with your time and knowledge and that knowledge had been great, as well as the motivating emails you send that get me going each time. I just wanted to thank you so much regardless of the book launch outcome—and I cannot wait to work with you again and meet you when I travel to the States some time."
See? As long as you have a good book people want, you can apply this formula to any type book.
Here's My personal story: Let me tell you how this "average gal" did it!
I didn't think I had a chance, but I was wrong! This strategy worked like a charm for this stay at home mom of 2 small children who never wrote a book in her life, and thought RAM were the horns on a goat and thought I didn't have a marketing bone in my body.
simple, it turned my book into a bestseller overnight!
After 12 weeks of preparation I figuratively pressed "Go." At that time, my book was ranked 1,254,000 on Amazon.
By that evening, my book had jumped up to #1 in Wedding Showers, and was ranked 1267—overall.
Not bad for someone with no marketing experience and no budget!
FAME —You earn the attention getting credential, "Bestselling Author"

How Much Does My Bestseller Mentoring Program Cost?
Answer: not much compared with life-long benefits of becoming a "Bestselling Author"
If you're wondering, "What's the price of Sally's mentoring program?" I'm glad you asked. That's one of the best parts of what I offer.
You see becoming a Bestselling Author might very well worth be $100,000.00... $500,000.00... even $1 million or more to you over your lifetime.
Once you hit the Bestseller List, that's an accomplishment no one can ever take away from you. It's a priceless asset you'll have for the rest of your life. Many authors who become bestsellers quickly find that doors previously closed to them suddenly now spring open and bring a flood of paid speaking and consulting engagements, lucrative licensing and foreign rights deals, major media appearances, and much more. Many new bestselling authors discover they can double or triple their speaking and consulting fees. Almost all find it much easier to get their future books published (and get hefty advances for them). Major publishers who ignored or rejected them when they were unknowns suddenly compete to publish their next book.
In short, becoming a Bestseller can catapult your career to a whole new level.
For that reason, I thought seriously about charging $5 - 10K for my program. That would be a fair price, but I don't just want to work with rich people. Sure I want to make money, but I really want to help the average author on a tight budget. I remember what it was like only last year when I was a first-time authors myself trying to cost-effectively market my books.
The regular price for my mentoring program was $1,295, but I couldn't help enough authors using 1-on-1 consulting—so I've lowered the price to only $937.00. That's more than a 40% savings. By teaching this privileged information via pre-recorded mp3's, I am able to bring the cost down considerably. As well, you can go at your own pace and use your time most productively.
As an author, you are in business. How much money have you set aside to invest in yourself and your business? Whatever it is, this Bestseller program will be one of the wisest ways you'll ever experience.
Is $937.00 a lot of money? Yes, if you are going to Las Vegas and gambling with it, because only 1 out of 10 people walk away with more money than they started. It's like throwing your money away.
And research shows that only 1 in 1000 authors will becomes bestsellers using traditional book promotion methods like book signings, author tours, etc.
However, when you use this Risk-Free strategy (the exact one you will learn and use), you will have a '1 out of 1' (100%) success rate. Just look at the odds.
Is $937 expensive?? NO, not if you consider it as buying something that's a sure thing.
My program is less expensive than a new car, it is an investment with a return, and it's just as much of a sure thing.
"Do YOU Want To Sell Lots of Books and Become a Bestselling Author?"
This is a "tremendous opportunity" that only comes along once in a while. When you look at the potential Return On Investment (ROI); the decision becomes easy.
You Can Use This Strategy To Sell Your Books From Any Online Store—Including Your Own Website!!
You are not limited to using Amazon with this strategy. In fact, you can use this strategy to sell your books in whatever way that you wish.
In order to help more authors, I've created a much more affordable and wiser investment for you. Plus, you can learn this strategy now and use it whenever you need to in the future.
The sooner you know how to follow this system step-by-step, the sooner you'll be able to enjoy the money, fame, and recognition that comes with being a "bestselling author."
Here's my Ultimate 'No Risk' Best Seller 100% Guarantee.

Just write to me and tell me what you did and give me permission to reprint your letter so other people can learn from it.

Rolling Rock Cafe… why now? Well, last week I wrote about the Red Bridge Cafe & Providore. Writing the article made me think about this place, even though it's been about 12 months since I was there. Nothing like the Red Bridge version in Campbell Town Tasmania, but unique all the same.
Rolling Rock Cafe – Are You Out There?
I thought I'd give them a call, just to make sure my facts were correct. No one answered the phone. I did an internet search, and found a real estate website listing the business for sale. I also found a Facebook Page for the Rolling Rock Cafe, but it hasn't been updated since January 2010. Not looking good!
I'm nothing if not persistent, so I'll have to visit Moonah myself to confirm their ongoing existence.
In the meantime, I'd still like to share my experience with you. The Rolling Rock Cafe menu was casual: pizza, pasta, burgers. That sort of thing. From memory I had a vegetarian pumpkin-pizza number. But for me, it wasn't at all about the food.
The staff I do vividly remember. The young waitress was friendly and vibrant and happy to make suggestions about the meals. She even gave the kids a free drink each when we were leaving, because they didn't have any dairy-free ice-cream on offer. How good is that? I think that's the reason the place made such a positive impression, actually.
Well, the service AND the whole theme of the cafe. The Rolling Rock Cafe had an extraordinary collection of guitars, records, jackets, photos and posters. All from musicians, including some pretty big names in the industry!
My photos don't do justice to the dining area, actually. The walls were painted a moody, deep purple colour; the framed rock memorabilia was displayed everywhere. The collection must have been worth an absolute fortune. The kitchen and bar area was open to the dining room, so I hope the frames were well-sealed. Wouldn't want the waft of steak, garlic and onion pervading the leather jacket signed by U2.
So for the music aficionado, this would be the perfect place to eat and drink.
I really hope the Rolling Rock Cafe is still operating, because you just have to see it to believe it. I'd be really happy if someone could contact Think Tasmania and let me know. Otherwise I'll report back to you next time I'm in Moonah.
Moonah is a northern suburb of Hobart, the capital of Tasmania.

"Toward a Judicial Role for the Twenty-First Century" by Charles L. Black, Jr.
Tonight, I am shifting to a new perspective in time. I would ask you to think of us as standing at a midpoint, just about equally distant from the decision in Brown v. Board of Education and the beginning of a new century, some twenty-three years back and forward. I remember the day the Brown case was decided; I learned of it, on a May afternoon still fragrant, from a group of Columbia law students in the drugstore-luncheonette on the corner of 116th Street and Broadway in New York. If you remember that day, or some other day in that year, as freshly as I do-—as freshly as if it were yesterday—then you will, with me, perceive the twenty-three years left in this century as a pretty short time. To those of you who cannot remember the day or year of the Brown decision—those of you who are the best hope of that new century—I have to say, with a sadness softened by the knowledge that you will not quite believe me, that it will come sooner than you can now conceive possible. It is not too early to begin thinking about the role of the courts—and especially of the Supreme Court—in that century. For that role—and I speak here again chiefly to the young, or at least to the younger than I—will be determined in great part by the planning, the advocacy, the views of propriety and professional rightness, which you choose to espouse and put forward.

Repression Hits the Liberal Fan
by Herb Fox
'Science for the People' Vol. 3, No. 2, May 1971, p. 17
A note from Washington University in Saint Louis tells of the case of David Colfax. Judged according to the only standard that matters, his practice, David has been a tireless worker in the building of radical action and consciousness. In 1967, he initiated the campaign to have the American Sociological Association take a stand against the Vietnam war and was also an organizer of the Sociology Liberation Movement and the Union of Radical Sociologists.
In St. Louis since 1969, he has played an active role in establishing a radical research and action group of health, education and welfare workers and in establishing and editing a radical newspaper. There he also worked with welfare-rights groups and was active at Washington University in the strike following the Kent State murders and the Cambodian invasion and in the successful anti-ROTC campaign.
That David should be the object of repression by reactionary administrators with the support of political conservatives is no surprise. For many it should also not be a surprise that the denial of tenure and the giving of a terminal contract can be traced to the weak recommendation of liberals in the senior faculty. Intimidated by administrative talk of shutting down the department, they acted in defense of all that is dear to them-their own privileged positions. The note from Washington University describes the events as follows:
Immediately following a review of his credentials and an interview in which his relations with the Black Panther Party were examined, Colfax was informed that the senior faculty had voted 5—4 to grant him tenure.
Several days later, however, on the pretext that several of the people who had voted against him had not had an opportunity to review his work or had not read his outside letters of support, another meeting and vote was scheduled, the argument being that this would provide a chance for a stronger vote in his favor.
But already administrative reactions to the original vote had been made known: Colfax, active in the student strike and 'in the community, was not to be granted tenure. And thereupon two of his original supporters, concerned with "departmental autonomy" in the face of administrative opposition, acted accordingly: this time they abstained, as did another who had been formerly opposed to Colfax. This time the vote was three favorable, three opposed, and three abstentions.
Both votes were forwarded to the university personnel committee, the "official position" of the department chairman, a David Carpenter, being that the second-illegal-vote was merely "informational': And in mid-February Colfax received a copy of a letter from the Dean to Carpenter stating that, "The (Personnel) Committee has advised me, and I share their opinion, that the departmental recommendation was not sufficiently strong to warrant recommendation of his tenure. It must be my conclusion therefore, that his appointment for the academic year 1971-72 will be a terminal one."
We stand behind our brother scientist, David Colfax, and congratulate him on being acknowledged by the enemy as an effective fighter. The weapons used against him, denial of tenure and non-renewal of contract, are becoming the standard tools of academic repression. So although we recognize the setback we also appreciate the lesson as to how untrustworthy and unprincipled liberals are and how easily they can be intimidated. David's case will be a victory in the long run if we all learn that lesson.
Letters protesting the handling and outcome of this matter should be sent to the campus newspaper, Student Life, with copies to the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the President of the Sociology Graduate Student Union, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. 63130.
