This is probably not the best idea to post this right after our not so quaint house tour. What a comparison! But I can't help it, this house is too pretty not to share.
I've been lurking around Apartment therapy for quite some time now to get some inspirations, to see pretty pictures, and to have a good laugh. Yep, a lot of their readers is brutally honest its quite a laugh to read some of the comments!
Anyway, this is one house tour that stucked with me. I've seen this before on Small Cool (their yearly competition for small houses) and I loved it. It's a treat to finally see a full house tour of this pretty pretty home.
Love the mirror, and don't get me started on the green couch!
It's really cute how they incorporated the tv with the artwork.
A smart way of doubling storage. Books over overhead counters!
That chalkboard wall and kooky chandelier makes this dining room youthful without being childish.
I love that this house looks totally lived in (not too polished beds, shoes everywhere, food on the counter) it adds to the charm of this place. Now head over here to read about this dreamy yet very real space.
I love how this looks lived-in, it's ecclectic and warm. And I want the little french bulldog, too! Cute!
It's a very different look that you usually see in blogland and I LOVE it! It feels like real life!!! It kind of remind me of IKEA! Every time I go I just want to move to a small place where I can use all the IKEA furnishings and make the best use of the space!!! Thanks for sharing this! BTW... I LOVE the yellow table and mirror you just finished it looks GREAT with the striped walls!
I know.. very real, yet you know it's been decorated. I hope we have Ikea here!

8 hottest electric vehicles hitting the road in 2021
Tesla's Cybertruck isn't the only EV to be excited about.
By Sasha Lekach on December 16, 2020
Quite a range of EVs. Credit: vw / rivian / lucid
While 2021 isn't likely going to bring the salvation we're all hoping for, it's still on track to bring us some of the biggest innovations for the next generation of electric vehicles.
Almost all of the highly anticipated EVs are compact (or massive, ahem, Hummer) SUVs, following the popularity of Tesla's Model Y that came out in 2020. While an electric version of America's most popular(Opens in a new window) vehicle (a Ford F-150 pickup truck(Opens in a new window)) is still years out, two of the first e-trucks are expected to arrive from Tesla and Illinois-based newcomer Rivian.
In no particular order, here are the EVs that should make it to driveways by the end of next year — even with a pandemic throwing off reveal schedules, factory operations, and in-person events.

Ford is stepping into the EV world with a revamped Mustang. The Mustang Mach-E will be entirely battery-powered with up to 300 miles on a single charge. The First Edition comes out, well, first, for $58,300 with a 270-mile range and is supposed to arrive by the start of the year. According to Ford, the limited number of First Editions are all reserved. Later into the new year, the base version, the Mach-E Select, will roll out. It has a 230-mile range and smaller battery, but starts at under $45,000.
Tesla Cybertruck

Over a year ago, Elon Musk revealed what Tesla's first pickup truck would look like. While we're still trying to accept the dystopian, angular design of the Cybertruck(Opens in a new window), the first models are expected to hit the streets by the end of 2021. The first sightings will be the popular (based on pre-order reports(Opens in a new window)) dual- and tri-motor versions with all-wheel drive and 300 and 500 miles of range, respectively. The single-motor trucks with a range of 250 miles aren't coming until the end of 2022. They'll be priced at $39,000, compared to $69,000 for the tri-motor version.

In 2019, before Rivian was even close to delivering its first vehicles, Amazon backed the company and ordered thousands of EV vans for its delivery business. They won't hit the road until at least 2021, the same year Rivian releases its R1T pickup truck. After the truck is released, Rivian has plans for an electric SUV.
The Hummer is back as a monstrous EV. Credit: gmc
The discontinued Hummer is back, but this time as a giant EV with up to 350 miles on a charge. The already sold-out Edition 1(Opens in a new window) is supposed to come at the end of 2021 with a whopping price tag of $112,595. More affordable versions will reportedly trickle out each year until spring 2024.
Mercedes EQA
Finally some electric options from Mercedes in the U.S. The EQA compact electric SUV was supposed to come out this year, but it was delayed until the end of 2021. Mercedes hasn't shared much about the vehicle, except that it'll be more affordable (Opens in a new window)than most Mercedes cars, setting it up as competitor to Tesla's Model Y. Afterwards, an electric sedan will make its way into the German automaker's electric lineup.

Nissan's pragmatic Leaf made it an EV pioneer. Next year, it will release its sleeker and more spacious Ariya.
Nissan's first electric compact SUV started as a concept car in Japan in 2019. Now, as Nissan revealed back in July, it's a real car that will start at $40,000 in the U.S. and Europe and stay charged up to 300 miles.

Here's an electric SUV that'll give Tesla a scare. It's VW's first e-vehicle of this size in the U.S. and its starting price is more than reasonable: $39,995. The pricier ($43,995) 1st Edition with a bigger touch screen, panoramic sunroof, and 20-inch wheels, is already sold out. It has a lower range (250 miles) than some other e-SUVs, but that's more than enough to get around during a pandemic or for a standard commute (if that ever happens again). It'll be here in the first half of the year.
Volvo XC40 Recharge

Volvo's first all-electric SUV is just about here. The Chinese-owned Swedish auto company made big commitments to electrification back in 2017, and this is the first step. While it looks a lot like the "regular" XC40 SUV, this one has an electric battery and motor with a 200-mile range and fast charging. The user system for maps, music, and other apps on the center screen is all Google-powered, so for Android users it'll be very familiar. The first deliveries start in January for the $53,990 electric SUV.
Luxury and range. Credit: Lucid
The Lucid Air is the electric dream we've been waiting for from one of the newest EV startups. The luxury sedan is pushing the range up to 517 miles on a single charge. The top-of-the-line Dream Edition comes out first for a staggering $169,000 with a 503-mile range. Throughout the year, cheaper models will follow, including the range-busting 517-mile Grand Touring version. The base model, known as the Air Pure, is more comparable to Tesla Model S pricing and range, but won't be available until 2022.
BONUS: BMW iX
BMW is more than dabbling in EVs next year. Its first bigger EV is an SUV that has been in development for years. (Its compact, low-range i3(Opens in a new window) has been out since 2013.) The iX started as a concept car (the iNext) and is coming out as a 300-mile range "Sports Activity Vehicle," as BMW calls it. The iX still has the big butterfly grille from the iNext design, but inside there's less of a fancy living room vibe with more screens and technology on display. Production starts in 2021, so we might not actually see this one until early 2022.

McGrath calls for off-season for fast bowlers
Posted By admin on March 2, 2016
Pacers need an off-season – McGrath
Glenn McGrath has said that the recent spate of injuries to Australia's fast bowlers has largely been a result of a cramped calendar with no allowance for an off-season. James Pattinson became the most recent casualty after he was ruled out for the remainder of Australia's domestic season following a recurrence of shin-stress problems. It was only one of Australia's injury-related woes in a week when Peter Siddle was diagnosed with stress fractures in the back and Ben Hilfenhaus retired from first-class cricket following persistent hamstring trouble.
McGrath, who is currently in Chennai on a coaching assignment with the MRF Pace Foundation, reckoned that the workload needed to be tailored in accordance with the bowlers' understanding of their bodies. "Bowlers need to know themselves and what sort of workload they need off the field," he told ESPNcricinfo. "For me, personally, the more I bowled, the better I felt whereas other guys need to be managed a bit more. So there is no one rule for everyone.
"Some of our injuries come from overbowling or high workloads, but it is more to me the fact that we need an off-season. Fast bowlers need an off-season because bowling and running deplete our strength. So as the season goes, our strength falls off and if we don't have an off-season to build it back up sooner or later, we are going to be injured."
McGrath attributed the absence of an off-season to Hilfenhaus' relatively early retirement from the longer format, but was nevertheless hopeful that younger bowlers like Pattinson would become less susceptible to breakdowns once their bodies matured with age.
"I think Hilfy had a very good career. Towards the end, there were a few injuries and I will probably put that down to not having an off-season," he said. "I saw him at the start of one summer where he looked physically strong, bowling quick and bowling good swing and had a great season. Next season, [he] probably didn't look quite as strong and injury became a problem.
"James Pattinson started fairly young. He runs in and puts everything on the line every ball. You are going to go through injuries. He is nearing the mid-20 age where hopefully he will have less injuries moving forward."
While he empathised with the demands made on fast bowlers, he was critical of the work ethic of the present generation. "[For] young fast bowlers, the harder they work the better they are going to be. That's where I think young bowlers probably let themselves down – they get to a certain level or play IPL, they think they have made it. They don't work as hard, they don't train as hard, they don't recover as well and that has a big effect. It's hard work to get to a certain level and it is harder work to stay there and that's the mindset young bowlers need to have."
McGrath, a strong advocate of fast bowlers playing across formats, said it was becoming an increasingly difficult decision to reconcile between playing as often as possible and opting to rest. "I think that's as much up to the individual as it is to the association. You got to weigh up what do you want," he said. "Do you want to be sort of playing for your country for as long as possible or the lure of playing IPL cricket and the money up for offer there? It is a tough decision and I'd wonder what I would choose. But, [at the] end of the day, if you are injured, you are not playing for your country, you are not playing IPL, you are not playing any cricket.
"A team is no longer 11 or 12 players; it is now a squad of 20-25 players. I think that's how teams around the world are managing it; giving certain players tours off. I am not sure they have really hit on the correct formula just yet, but they are working towards it."
McGrath, however, believed Siddle could emerge stronger from his recent injury crisis that led to uncertainty over his future. Siddle played the first Test against New Zealand in Wellington and picked up three wickets in the first innings, but had to miss the second Test after suffering back spasms during the second innings. He was subsequently diagnosed with stress fractures which will keep him out of competitive cricket for a significant amount of time. Siddle is also set to get his troublesome left ankle operated during the layoff.
Despite the odds stacked against Siddle, who will turn 32 in November, McGrath suggested that his track record marked him out as a tough competitor. "Peter Siddle has done an exceptional job. Not that long ago, he has taken 200 Test wickets which is a great effort, no mean feat there," he said.
"He has been written off for the last few years and yet he keeps coming back, keeps performing. It [Siddle's vegan diet] is up to the individual. If that is what works for him, then good luck to him. But I think there have been injuries to other bowlers which has allowed him to continue on and you have to make the most of every opportunity you get. So for Sids, I am really proud of what he has been able to achieve, and he is still there and he is still bowling."
McGrath admitted there might be a "little bit of credibility" to the theory that playing on drop-in pitches and grounds that are used for Australian Rules Football have led to harder centre squares, and have consequently increased the possibility of injuries. But his major concern was how drop-in pitches loaded the equation entirely in favour of batsmen.
"I think the drop-in wickets they are playing on these days are so good," he said. "They are flat, they don't offer anything to the fast bowlers and they don't change over five days. Then bowlers will try to bowl quicker, and I think then, all of a sudden, their technique changes and they put more stress on the body and then more chances of being injured. They need to leave a little bit more grass to balance it out a bit."
McGrath was also appreciative of the efforts of his former bowling partner Craig McDermott, who will step down as Australia's assistant coach after the World T20. "I think he has done an exceptional job as fast bowling coach for Australia for a long time," he said. "He worked well with the young guys in the Australian team. He was more about the thought processes in the game – the lengths to bowl, getting the ball up there, making the batsman play, getting a bit of swing."

Mostly-Spoiler-Free Review: The Red Tent
Spoiler-Free Review: The Heir
Reflecting on Game of Thrones Part 1
31 May 2019 12 Aug 2021
Game of Thrones has finally died a slow and painful death. Season 8 Episode 6 did not wrap up Game of Thrones, it put the show out of it's misery. Many fans sat back and asked themselves "What happened?" The answer is both simple and not so simple: The show runners did a great job adapting the books, but they are writers, they wanted to write their own story lines.
Spoiler warning for the entire show and the novels.
The Moment The Show Was Broken
Game of Thrones is based off of George R.R. Martin's book series A Song of Ice and Fire. The show runners, David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, had never run a series before, and it started to show. They got cocky. They fell in love with good actors saying lines they had written. They were getting all the praise. They could do not wrong!
They had enough money and clout to get any actor they wanted, so they did what any fanboy with the money would do. David Benioff and D. B. Weiss said in numerous interviews, panels and behind the scenes features they" re-conceived the role to make it worthy of the actor's talent" And that is where the problem starts. They sacrificed the story and logical character development to play favorites with cast members.
It started slow. forgivable changes: Jaime and Tyrion have a funny scene together. Cirsei has a pretty speech about a her black haired son who died tragically. Jane Pool's dialogue can be rolled into Sansa's septa. Rob married Talisa instead of Jeyne Westerling. Tryion and Shea's relationship was tweaked into a romance.
Then they dropped the Tysha reveal.
The Tysha reveal was a fundamental shift in Tyrion divorcing himself from the Lannisters and directly lead to him killing his father. And most show watchers don't even know what it is.
Way back in season 1 Tyrion confesses something from his past: Tyrion and Jamie were out riding when they came across a terrified peasant girl fleeing from a rap gang. Her name was Tysha. Jamie set off to look for the gang, leaving Tyrion to comfort the girl. They fell in love, ended up in bed, and Tyrion secretly married her. Jamie then confessed that Tysha was a whore he'd paid to "make Tyrion a man." When Tywin found out, he gave the girl to his guards and made Tyrion watch to drive the lesson home what kind of a woman she was.
In the third book, After Tyrion has been found guilty of murdering Joffrey, he sits alone in his cell waiting for his execution. Despite believing him guilty, Jamie breaks his brother out of the cells and arranges a plan with Varys to get Tyrion out of the city. Jamie doesn't like Varys, and the brothers were never that close, so Tyrion asks why Jamie is doing this. That's when Jamie confesses the biggest regret of his life: he's the one who told Tywin about Tysha.
Tysha wasn't a whore. Jamie never set Tyrion up to "make a man" of him. It was all real. Tyrion's marriage to Tysha was real. Tywin had the only person who ever loved Tyrion gang raped by his guards, and he made Tyrion watch! What was worse: Jamie knew this for years and said nothing.
This is the moment when Tyrion is done with his family. That is the reason Tyrion confronts Tywin before he leaves King's Landing: He wants to know what happened to his true wife!
To add insult to injury Tyrion finds Shea in Tywin's bed. Tyrion confronts his father, tells him that Jamie told him the truth and demands to know what happened to Tysha. Tywin's reply "Where do whores go?" That's when Tyrion kills him.
Why was this cut from the show? I don't know. Maybe someone has daddy issues, Maybe they thought it was too obscure? I honestly don't know, but cutting this moment was the beginning of the end.
The Death of Dorne
Ask any nearly book reader and they will tell you the same thing; we knew the show was off track when we saw what they did to the Dorne plot.
The Dorne plot line is a subplot that setup some juicy conflict for Winds of Winter, but ultimately didn't do much in terms of plot advancement.
Arianne Martell, eldest child of Doran Martell, has some daddy issues. She knows that her dad once promised her younger brother that he would rule Dorne. Despite the fact that inheritance in Dorne is supposed to go to the eldest child regardless of gender.
To stick it to her misogynistic father and the rest of the sexist seven kingdoms, Arianne comes up with a coup to put Myrcella on the Iron Throne as a puppet ruler. . . this plan ends with Myrcella getting her ear chopped off. Oops!
As Doran yells at Arianne for her stupidity, she tells him that she knows he plans to steal her inheritance and give it to her little brother. Forcing Doran to explain that he does intend her brother to rule Dorne, because Arianne will be on the Iron Throne.
That's as far as the books have gone. Doran is established as a major schemer, but he hasn't made a move yet.
The show runners originally planned to cut the Dorne plot to streamline things. But then they cast Indira Varma as Ellaria. In DVD commentaries they talk about how they were fans of hers for years. So yeah, suddenly they decided to go to Dorne… because they loved that story.
So what they did was this: they took the Dorne plot from the book and threw it out of the moon door a few times. Then they picked up the fractured pieces, melted them together with dragon's fire and came up with this big ugly lump of a plot. That's what they put on screen.
For no reason at all Ellaria wants to murder Myrcella. Book Ellaria was a nice compassionate person. In the book she was the one calling for an end to the bloodshed. It's her speech about "where does revenge end?" That really hammers George R. R. Martin's message in this series: The futility of war.
I hope you can see that Game of Thrones is a shadow of it's former self. The further it got away from the book plot, the worse it got. I for one am convinced that the major characters will not end in the pathetic way they did in the show. Part two of this reflection will be about the major characters, and where I think they will go in the book series, which I hope you will agree will be better than what the show did. Frankly, it's hard to imagine it could be worse.

I remember watching the season 4 finale and being really excited to see how Peter Dinklage's acting would be during the Tysha reveal. And I was even more excited for Lady Stoneheart's reveal. O what fools we were…

In 1905 Alan produced his first book "Lovers in London" which proved to be a failure. From there he took a job at "Punch" writing articles, when his money situation became more stable he decided to try and write another book. The childish verses became so popular he decided to write a children's book entitled "When We Were Young" published in From there "Winnie The Pooh" was written, and from there he wrote "The House at Pooh Corner" Alan claimed this would be his last book. The last book Alan published was "Year in, Year out" in which proved to be a great success.
Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) is the first volume of stories about Winnie-the-Pooh, by A. A. Milne.Among the many languages it has been translated into is a Latin translation called Winnie Ille Pu. The first two chapters were adapted for the Disney cartoon featurette Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, and the last two chapters were adapted for Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. In addition, part of chapter 3 was adapted into Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too!
5 Winnie the pooh Edward 'Winnie-the-Pooh' Bear, sometimes referred to as Pooh, is a fictional bear created by A. A. Milne. He appears in the books Winnie- the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928). Milne also included several poems about Winnie-the-Pooh in the children's poetry books When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. The hyphen was later dropped when Walt Disney Productions adapted the Pooh stories into a series of Winnie the Pooh. Milne named the character Winnie-the-Pooh after a toy bear owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milne, who was the basis for the character Christopher Robin. There is a photo of "Winnie-the-Pooh".

LIMA: Peruvian President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski pardoned former authoritarian leader Alberto Fujimori late on Sunday, triggering Christmas Eve street clashes as protesters denounced the decision as part of a crude political deal. The decision clears Fujimori of convictions for human rights crimes and graft when his right-wing government was in power from 1990 to 2000, and could define Kuczynski's legacy and rewrite political alliances.
At least two ministers in Kuczynski's cabinet who objected to the pardon told him they wanted to resign, and Kuczynski might reshuffle the cabinet as early as this week, a government source said.
Two ruling party lawmakers quit his party as his political group planned next steps.
Kuczynski, a former Wall Street banker who vowed as a candidate not to pardon Fujimori, based his decision on a medical review that found Fujimori suffered from "a progressive, degenerative and incurable disease", according to a statement from the president's office.

Brown & Riding Press Release
Michael Davis Leaves Aon, Returns to Brown & Riding
Respected Builder's Risk expert takes key role in Construction Practice Group
Los Angeles, CA – May 2017 – Brown & Riding, a Top 10 U.S. wholesaler and specialty insurance brokerage, has announced the return of Michael Davis to the firm's Construction Practice Group. Davis is a senior executive with extensive experience in complex builder's risk program design and placement. He is based in the company's Los Angeles headquarters and helps clients throughout the United States.
Davis recently left Aon, where he was a Vice President in the Construction Services Group. In that position, he was responsible for first party lines of coverage and bespoke insurance programs for sophisticated builder and developer clients.
Davis cited Brown & Riding's client-first mentality and collaborative culture as significant factors in his decision. "When the client always comes first and you have a team of experts to work with, you take a more holistic view of a risk," he said. "Airports, stadiums and high-rise condos aren't about individual policies, they're about total risk transfer and making sure the coverage is appropriate for all parties, top to bottom."
Brown & Riding offered Davis a key role in its Construction Practice Group, providing him with the right platform to meet the needs of demanding clients and projects. "There's a great culture here, one that provides risk professionals with everything they need to ensure clients are satisfied."
Chris Brown, Brown & Riding's Chairman, was clear on the importance of the move. "Our firm's growth and success is completely dependent on the quality of our team," he said. "It's why we take 100 percent employee ownership and our independent market status so seriously."
Per Brown, these are two critical recruiting and retention tools that have a direct, positive impact on clients. "We are excited to have Mike back, as are many of our clients and carrier partners," he added.

Patrick Buchanan: Are Republicans Born Wimps?
By Patrick J. Buchanan | October 2, 2018 | 5:36 AM EDT
The Senate Judiciary Committee prepares to hear from Judge Brett Kavanaugh on Thursday, Sept. 27. (Photo: Screen capture/C-SPAN)
Republican leaders are "a bunch of wimps," said Jerry Falwell Jr.
Conservatives and Christians need to stop electing "nice guys."
"The US needs street fighters like Donald Trump at every level of government because the liberal fascists Dems are playing for keeps."
So tweeted the son and namesake of the founder of the Moral Majority, and he has here a self-evident point.
Thursday, 11 GOP senators on the judiciary committee freely forfeited to a female prosecutor their right to cross-examine Christine Blasey Ford, the accuser of Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
The Republicans feared that televised images of 11 white men, sharply questioning the credibility of Ford's claim to be a victim of Kavanaugh's sexual assault, would be politically lethal.
So, while the Republicans mutely abstained from challenging her, Ford was treated by the Democrats as the reincarnation of Joan of Arc, though not a single witness has corroborated her story.
Friday, Sen. Jeff Flake caved to Democratic demands for another weeklong FBI investigation of the judge. The Republicans, egg visible on their faces, endorsed their colleague's capitulation.
Thursday, Sen. Lindsey Graham had been the Republican lion of the hearing, indicting Democrats for the moral atrocity they had deceitfully and dishonorably perpetrated against the judge.
By Friday, our Cicero was reaching out in collegiality to the same senators he was castigating 24 hours before.
Falwell's point: Democrats fight savagely and for keeps, while Republicans — street-fighter Trump excepted — are wimps, often bewailing any loss of camaraderie with their colleagues across the aisle.
As my late friend Sam Francis said in the title of his book, many Republicans are perfectly content with being "Beautiful Losers."
Yet the stakes here are immense. Consider how the Supreme Court has remade the America we grew up in.
Since World War II, the court has de-Christianized all public schools and the public life of a land Woodrow Wilson and Harry Truman called a "Christian nation." It has established secularism as our state religion.
Despite civil right laws declaring race discrimination illegal, the court has given its blessing to affirmative action, deliberate discrimination in favor of peoples of color against white men in the name of diversity and equality.
The court has declared that what were once crimes, abortion and homosexuality, are now constitutional rights all Americans must respect.
These changes were not legislated democratically, but imposed dictatorially by the high court. While a Senate confirmation of Kavanaugh would not reverse these mandated changes, it might halt any further imposition of this radical social revolution by unelected judges.
But while the Democratic left, understanding the stakes, is fighting bare-fisted, Republicans are sparring with 14-ounce gloves and seeking to observe Marquess of Queensberry Rules.
In other ways as well America has been remade.
Not only has Christianity, and all its symbols and expressions of faith and belief, been removed, but also a purge is underway of monuments and statues of the explorers, colonists and statesmen who, believing in the superiority of their religion, culture and civilization, set out to create the county we inherited.
And William Frey, resident demographer at the Brookings Institution, writes about how America is being changed — without the consent of the people.
"Since 2000, the white population under the age of 18 has shrunk by seven million, and declines are projected among white 20-somethings and 30-somethings over the next two decades and beyond. This is ... a trend that is not likely to change despite Mr. Trump's wish for more immigrants from Norway.
"The likely source of future gains among the nation's population of children, teenagers and young working adults is minorities — Hispanics, Asians, blacks and others."
When we are all minorities, and all behave as minorities, making our separate demands upon the country, what then holds America together?
In Federalist 2, John Jay famously wrote:
"Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people — a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion ... very similar in their manners and customs...
"This country and this people seem to have been made for each other, and it appears as if it was the design of Providence, that an inheritance so proper and convenient for a band of brethren, united to each other by the strongest ties, should never be split into a number of unsocial, jealous, and alien sovereignties."
Yet, each decade, less and less are we descended from the same ancestors. Less and less do we speak the same language, profess the same religion, share the same manners, customs, traditions, history, heroes and holidays.
Does America look today like the "band of brethren united to each other" of which Jay wrote, and we seemed to be as late as 1960?
Or does not the acrimony attendant to the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh suggest that we have already become a land "split into a number of unsocial, jealous and alien sovereignties."
With all our new diversity, whatever became of our unity?
Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of a new book, "Nixon's White House Wars: The Battles That Made and Broke a President and Divided America Forever."

I recently ran into a neighbor, a mother of two boys under two, racing home from her job at Citigroup to take her infant for his regular appointment with the pediatrician. Just back at work after maternity leave, she had that frazzled look of the work-family juggler.
The streets of my NYC neighborhood, deserted in the last weeks of August, are now humming with activity, as children and families return to school. This comforting ritual, as predictable as the turn of the seasons, is accompanied by the growing clamor of calls for teacher quality and accountability.


Chicago born Elise Asher was a poet, painter and sculptor. She studied art in Chicago and Boston, before moving to New York in 1947. Here Asher began to paint mystical landscapes in a vivid palette. She had her first solo show in New York in 1953, and two years later published her first poetry collection. She rendered her own and others' poetry on canvas in oil or acrylics on plexiglass and also translated objects into verse. Her work is in many public and private collections. The Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown held a retrospective of her work in 2000.

Oz speed up search
Australia plan to speed up their search for a new national coach after the Socceroos were bundled out of the Asian Cup quarter-finals by Japan.
FOOTBALL, Graham Arnold, Australia
Image credit: Imago
Football Federation Australia (FFA) said they were conducting an international search to find a new coach to replace Graham Arnold in time for the 2010 World Cup qualifiers.
Arnold was given the job of leading the Australians at the Asian Cup on a temporary basis but the Socceroos' loss to Japan on penalties has prompted the FFA to accelerate their search for a replacement.
Ecuador beat Peru in rematch
"We've always said we were undertaking a global search for a national team coach that would take us through to 2010 and that continues," FFA chief executive Ben Buckley said.
"We hope to do it as soon as practically possible, within the next couple of months.
"It's always a bit difficult to put a timeline on these things but we'd hope to conclude it as soon as possible."
Buckley said Arnold would remain in charge of the Australian Under-23 team, but the FFA wanted a higher-profile manager to guide the national senior team through their World Cup qualifying campaign.
"Graham's been aware that we've been conducting a global search," Buckley said.
"We've been very happy with his performance, we understand he's in a challenging situation and we think his preparation was very good.
"He's conducted himself well throughout the tournament."
Guus Hiddink coached Australia at last year's World Cup in Germany and his Dutch compatriot Dick Advocaat has already been linked to the new job, but Buckley said there had been no decision on a replacement yet.
The Asian World Cup qualifying campaign starts next year but an appointment could be made before Australia's next game, a friendly against Argentina in Melbourne in September.
"We're conscious that we have a game scheduled but we want to get the decision right and make that as soon as possible," Buckley said.
"The search is still going on. It could take an indefinite period of time.
"I won't comment on anyone that we've spoken to in the past but at this point in time we don't have an agreement with anyone."

Q: My Linux Azure server hangs and it takes lots of time to reboot My Linux box on Azure often experiences a blocking problem: it stops responding and if I'm so lucky to be already in SSH I get that the file system has been mounted into readonly mode. The only solution seems to reboot the machine from Azure VM Control Panel, since issuing init 6 returns that it's impossible to write to disk. Rebooting from CP takes a long time and throws an error, after which the server is forcefully reset.

A: This appears to be a widespread problem in Azure VM Preview, for which Microsoft doesn't currently offer support or SLA.
Solution 1
Reported to not always work: perform a hard reboot with VM relocation. From Azure CP delete the virtual machine along with the associated cloud service, then recreate it using the untouched disk image. This usually recreates the machine onto a different cluster than the previous, so you have chances of not experiencing the problem anymore. Pay attention that you will experience about half an hour downtime and don't delete the VHD in order not to lose all your work/data/configured applications
Solution 2
Until Microsoft fixes the problem: schedule a daily reboot via cron like this: 0 3 * * * /sbin/shutdown -r now #Reboot.
This causes a deterministic downtime of a couple of minutes. You can avoid this if you run your servers in load balancing by scheduling reboots among different servers at different times of the day: this assures service continuity

I've been away from writing and from all of you for some time now, but I swear it's been a productive month.
In real life, I've been launching a new HTML5 website for CBC called The Massey Experience, which is pretty awesome if I do say so myself, AND we've been renovating our kitchen – resulting in this fabulous new space to cook and entertain.
Also in real life, my good friend, and prolific writer Mr. Joe Mahoney (@ilanderz) read my first book and did an intensive line-by-line edit of it that I am now applying to my manuscript.
When I gave it to him to read, I confess I did so with more trepidation than usual because he is a perfectionist when it comes to the craft. What's funny is that I think he approached his resulting edits of my book with equal amounts of uneasiness. His unease came from worrying about hurting my feelings (sweet man!) and the amount my poor ego could take in terms of real criticism.
I have to say (and maybe it's because I trust Joe and his skills having read and heard his work many times) that I was not in the least bit worried about his suggested edits – I was worried he wouldn't like it, and that would have stabbed me right through my writer's heart. It's not true of everyone who has read my work, but I <think> my ego is tied to the concept of the book series with Portia and her journey through her cases and less tied to the actual words on the page.
What about you guys? Does it stab you straight through your writer's heart when someone tells you that a sentence is 'awkward' or that your writing is needlessly formal in a scene? Or are you separate enough from your words to take the criticism with a grain of salt?
