Steve Lambert: Journalist Wes Hughes ably…
Steve Lambert: Journalist Wes Hughes ably serves our youth
I had the honor this past week of accompanying a dear friend and former colleague to an event honoring him for his crusade against child exploitation.
It was a fitting tribute to a man who, in his ninth decade, still believes the world we leave behind must be better than the one we were born into.
The years surely have challenged Wes Hughes' resolve – from the painful stories he has lived to those he still tells of life on the streets.
But onward he goes, a modern Don Quixote demanding valor and honor from a world that often seems indifferent.
I gave Wes a copy of Cervantes' masterpiece a few years back. He was in the hospital, more gravely ill than he let on but with an unwavering determination that you knew would pull him through.
It was that way when he came calling for a city desk job at the San Bernardino Sun eight years ago – a spirit, a youth, that belied his age and the hard life he'd led.
He took on the most formidable editing challenges we could find for him – managing a team a young reporters to stretch the limits of their experience and skill sets to produce national prize-winning work.
Under Wes' direct guidance, The Sun explored in disturbing detail a story others refused to see – teenagers murdering others. He followed that up with a series on a group of people society often refuses to help – the homeless mentally ill.
It was during that second project, titled "Lost Among Us," that Wes shared some of his own struggles – most notably the loss of two of his children, one as a toddler. How he survived every parent's worst nightmare, twice over, even he's not sure, but helping young people became his quest.
For years, he mentored young reporters – "my kids," he calls them – teaching them the value of truth and fairness, of journalism with a heart. They loved working with Wes as much as he loved working with them, which led us a few years back to create an award in Wes' name for the staffer who best exemplified his spirit.
The first winner: Wes himself, who declared then he was far from finished.
He proved that again this past year when he took to the streets to report on the problem of child prostitution in San Bernardino County.
It was great journalism by a great journalist – and a man I'm proud to call my friend.

Q: AWS CLI file extension association warning on Windows Using aws cli with python 3 on Windows, always getting a warning, but the program runs well after this message.
For example:
>>> aws --version --debug
Не найдено сопоставление для расширения имени файла .py.
aws-cli/1.15.83 Python/3.6.0 Windows/7 botocore/1.10.82

(vaguely -' Cannot find association for filename extension .py')
Any idea which part of aws scripts issues this warning and how to fix it? At what part does aws use Windows call?

A: As @Evgeny describes in Windows after install AWS CLI the file aws.cmd has this line that calls the command assoc and produces the warning:
    for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%i in ('assoc .py') do (

The command assoc .py shows if there is an association to python files in Windows. If you don't have a python executable associated with *.py files in your main command line (no in environments of Anaconda).
You can test that opening a command line window and try to run a simple script in a folder this way:
    >test.py

If you get an error and you like to remove the warning you have to make a new association for python files, with one of this options.

*

*By command line (as administrator)

    assoc .py=py_auto_file
    ftype py_auto_file="C:\Anaconda3\python.exe" "%1" %*

*

*By GUI changing Defaults apps

Right clic any file with extension *.py and select properties, and select a program that manage this file, for example in "C:\Anaconda3\python.exe" or change the default app.
In Windows 10 you can follow this sequence "Start  menu, select Settings  > Apps > Default apps"

A: you have to meet the dependency with: https://www.python.org/downloads/
so that windows could have something to register file-type .py with.
or you'd have to register .py to open with python3.exe (or alike).

A: I managed to get feedback on a issue on Github. Basically, there is a one line change that can supress the warning.
In aws.cmd instead of:
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%i in ('assoc .py') do (

use:
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%i in ('assoc .py 2^> nul') do (

This diverts warnings to null. There is also a
pull request
with this suggested change, but it was not mergerged to code unfortunately.
Anyone experiencing this problem can change a local file aws.cmd as <your python directory>/Scripts folder.

Die Serie spielt im Zeitraum der ersten Bauphase des Drei-Schluchten-Staudamms in China von Ende 1993 bis Mitte 2006.

Daneben tauchen in der Serie vier heute ausgestorbene Tierarten auf: ein Java-Tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica), ein Beutelwolf (Thylacinus cynocephalus), ein Chinesischer Flussdelfin (Lipotes vexillifer) und ein Vertreter einer ausgestorbenen Unterart der Meißelzahn-Kängururatte (Dipodomys microps russeolus). In jeder Folge treffen die drei Hauptcharaktere auf Tiere, welche unter den Einflüssen der Ratten leiden. Gemeinsam mit ihren neuen Freunden, die sie auf ihren Reisen um die Welt finden, können sie am Ende immer Schlimmeres verhindern. Das Ende der Serie ist noch offen.

Hauptcharaktere
 Bambu-Li, männlicher Kleiner Panda  (Anführer der Bambusbärenbande)
 Lang-Zu, männlicher Großer Panda
 Li-Pling, weibliche Bambusratte

 Wao Hao, ältere, männliche Ratte
 Rataleone, männliche Ratte, Chef von "RATCO" (Unternehmensname), dessen wahre Identität wird bis zuletzt verschleiert, z. B. durch Zigarettenqualm, Baupläne, dunkle Räume mit wenig Licht, Rückenansicht u. a.
 Ratte Nummer 1, große, schlanke Ratte mit hellem Köpfchen, das bisweilen manchmal aussetzt
 Ratte Nummer 2, kleine, dicke, braune Ratte mit ein bisschen Verstand
 Ratte Nummer 3, große, dumme Ratte mit wenig Verstand

Produktion
Die Serie wurde 1995 von Mitsui & Co. Ltd., ZDF Enterprises GmbH, ZDF, TF1 S.A., TVE S.A., 4D Marina Prod. und Pixibox produziert. Das Konzept und die Figuren stammen von Sicco Kingma.

Nyumbania Africa is a locally, family owned non-profit organization which works at the grassroots level to enable volunteers to positively impact our communities. We take pride in making a difference in local communities. The following are brief introduction to the type of volunteer programs we offer.
The devastating effects of HIV/AIDS and other illnesses such as TB has left a large number of vulnerable and orphaned children in Tanzania. Focus in Africa partners with several orphanages within Arusha to bring international volunteers to support these vulnerable children. Volunteers play sports and games with the children, teach the Basic English, arts and crafts, and assist with the overall care of the children.
Help create awareness of the plight of street children, advocate for their rights, and reduce the number of children at risk. Offer your support to help train vulnerable children with vocational and life skills, play sports, create art, and be a source of companionship.
If you are looking for valuable hands-on medical experience, a medical internship is great opportunity. Our Internship program presents benefits beyond just professional development; it offers the opportunity to be completely immersed in the local culture and work environment. By learning directly from local experts within your field, our internships allow an in-depth understanding of issues affecting your chosen profession in Tanzania. You will spend the majority of your time as an assistant to the main Doctor or a Bio-medical Scientist. Work responsibilities vary based upon your education, skills and experience. You can read the blog of our past medical volunteers here.
Nyumbani Africa works with local women's groups who have come together to support and empower eachother. These groups of women are often widowed due to HIV/AIDS virus, HIV positive themselves, or looking after the children of deceased relatives. Without education and guidance, these women end up serving their husbands or struggling to provide as a single parent. Volunteers in this project are needed to provide education, help prepare proposals for micro-finance projects to assist women in becoming self sufficient, and also support local orphans not necessarily in the form of money but helping them with access to free education, and raising awareness of important health issues.
As in many other African countries, there is a severe and widespread HIV/AIDS epidemic in Tanzania. HIV/AIDS is a serious challenge and if left uncontrolled, complications will continue to arise. Many hospitals, clinics and local NGO's facilitate HIV/AIDS testing, counseling and awareness campaigns. Collaboration with local groups and organizations helps foster awareness among local communities, help prevent infection and loss of life, and improve the lives of those already infected. As a volunteer at a Tanzanian HIV/AIDS project you can support the ongoing efforts to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS and help to provide the manpower needed to comfort HIV/AIDS patients.
Volunteers on the teaching project work in government schools or orphanage schools, English-medium schools, where the presence of volunteers is beneficial in opening the minds and broadening the horizons of the students, along with exposing them to native spoken English. Children in Tanzania love to attend school, often starting as young as 3 years old, and wherever possible, children hope to stay in school until at least 14 years old, as education is highly valued in Tanzanian society. Teaching volunteers work by themselves or alongside local teachers and other volunteers, teaching subjects such as, English, Math, Science, Social Studies (Geography and History), Art and Physical Education. Volunteers assist the local teachers with daily lessons, providing one-on-one attention to the students.


A dear sweet friend sent me an e-mail last week that contained the link to a blog post that made me think our telephone convesations had been bugged. It was the sort of thing that friends talk about... as in, I'm pretty sure you've probably talked about some of the same things with your "besties". It was one of those posts where you laughed, nodded your head, said, "... exactly!" a few times and then laughed some more.
The post is titled "My 7 Dirty Quilting Secrets" and the blog is Crafty Garden Mom. It is written by Tanesha.
Because I'm a girl who likes the occasional picture - even bad pictures - I'm going to include a few random pictures. Just because.
My Mom's Mother's Day / Birthday roses. They're still looking nice - and yes, the roses have a teeny touch of green in them.
I am not a perfect piecer. I never have been and with the way my eyesight is going, I'm not sure I'll ever get there now. Some days are better than others but the truth is that I have "issues" with that perfect exact scant 1/4". I'm usually just a thin thread's-width off. And you know what? Whatever. I don't really care. I'm not building a rocket that needs to land on Mars with pinpoint accuracy... okay, bad example... but you get the point.
Perfect piecing takes time and practice - lots of it. It is a skill that takes time and work to perfect and I applaud those people who have achieved that kind of quality workmanship. I used to be better but the realities of life, work and such now means that there are weeks that pass without my getting to sew a single stitch. Yes. Weeks.
So while there are things I will rip out and re-do, there are others that are "good enough" for me. Are you shocked?
That sort of addresses that scant 1/4" seam thing too. It's important. I can give you a jillion reasons why... not the least of which is that it does make piecing easier. We - meaning you - should strive to achieve perfection... but seriously, I'm not going to fault you if it isn't perfectomundo.
And while we're on the subject, if your piecing is perfect, don't go beating up other quilters because you're perfect and they're not. If you've entered your quilt in a show, then your being a little closer to perfect is commendable. But in a class or at a guild meeting... seriously, what purpose does it serve to make others feel badly about their work?
I am not nearly as organized as I would like folks to think I am. Exhibit A.
These are actual labels on some of the storage drawers in my workroom. I also have drawers labeled "Various & Sundry", "Random Rulers" and "Odds 'n Ends".
I never should have read that Albert Einstein had a really messy desk because in my mind, that means I naturally, logically equate clutter with genius. Yes, I know where everything is. And yes, I finally got some of the scrap/odd-sized piece drawers sorted by color but that's as good as it is ever going to get because... the rest of that doesn't really matter to me. (I sort of wish it did but it doesn't.) My sock drawer is about the same way - the socks are in there. We're good.
This might also be a good time to mention that I am a terrible "stylist". I don't "prop" well and I'm not good at "accessorizing vignettes". Where do people go to learn how to position the scissors "just so"? How many buttons do you need for it to be just the right amount of random? Is there a class for that?
Yeah, yeah... naked envy is running amok.
While I don't pre-wash anymore - it takes too long and it really is a chore - I am a bit obsessive about "prepping" my fabrics by starching and pressing them. The only reason I do that is because I'm too attached to my steam iron. I will not - repeat, will not EVER - give up using steam to press my pieced units and blocks. I know... the purists out there are mortified that I use steam to press my seams. They can get over it - now. I've said - written - it before and I'll say/write it again - I can make any block flat and square with enough heat and steam. Period. But because fabric does shrink when moisture and heat are applied, I take the precaution of prepping them so that happens before and not after. It's a case of picking my battles - I know which ones I'm going to lose.
Just so you know, I do make it a point to recycle the plastic bottles from the starch.
While I happily give quilts to friends and family, I'm tired of random non-quilting folks asking if I sell my quilts. Or worse, if I'll make them a quilt... you know, one that matches the couch in their living room. Just kill me now. I made "custom" quilts specifically for people or situations a few times in my life and each experience was worse than the one before. I won't horrify you with the details... actually, extensive therapy has helped me purge them from my memory. I'm sure you've had similar experiences.
And will those same people also stop telling me that their "grandmother was a quilter." And "you must be very patient". (Yeah, right.) I sometimes think the only thing most people know about quilters is what they remember from the movie "Witness".
I also have more fabric than I will ever need or use. And so what? I might joke about my "historical collection", that I'm preserving fabric for future historians but the truth is that I do sometimes feel a bit guilty about it. I do use it and I do regularly go through it and donate it to charity groups, guilds and Goodwill, but I still have a lot. And having too much doesn't keep me from adding to the stash. But I also know that the choices I make are mine - nobody else is paying my bills.
I am also keeping it for my mother. If something "unexpected" should happen to yours truly, all that fabric is guaranteed to mean my Mom will have lots of company, well-wishers and "assistance" in the days - hours? - after my untimely demise. Though I don't know where "my friends" are going to park all those U-Hauls... but I also know that won't be my problem.
And like Tanesha, I don't always enjoy the online quilting community as much as I wish I did. While the overwhelming majority of it is inspiring, creative and energizing, there are aspects of it that are frustrating. From Pinterest - oy vey, that's a topic on it's own - to blogs, I think I'm finding it all a bit less enjoyable because so much of it has become a business, or all about business. I will happily admit to sometimes thinking "a pox on BlogHer!" While I completely understand that blogging can be a lucrative business - Pioneer Woman? - so much of it now is about advertising. Yes, I am as guilty of doing that as anybody else on occasion but are you starting to feel like the only buzz that is being created by all the blog-hops and social-media-cross-pollination is one big Zzzzzzz? Do you simply download the free pattern, leave a comment to enter the drawing for (fill in the blank) and ignore the rest?
Whew. I think I feel a little bit better getting that off my chest... so to speak.
I'm going to go get a glass of wine and sew a bit before I go to bed.
Huh? Yes, I occasionally enjoy a glass of wine when I sew.
That sort of explains the imperfect piecing, doesn't it?
Thank you for admitting that you always use a steam iron! I was beginning to think I was the only one out there who still did that. I found that blog over the weekend and loved it. I think we all have our little secrets. I also really appreciated the remark about not "judging" other's work. I always say nice things when people show their quilts!
I love this! It just proves we are not perfect and really who the heck wants to be. We all take shortcuts, so what, do what works for you. If there is no enjoyment in the process and the quilty police are always watching then why do it. Yes, I'm so sick of blogs where you have to jump through hoops to enter their contest, "like me on facebook, follow me on twitter and pinterest and to the koolaid...." I just give up and say it's not worth it. I'll go to the next blog. And don't feel you have to respond to my post :) my feelings will not be hurt. I am a big girl. LOL!!
Posts like this are exactly why I look forward to reading your blog so much!
I love to use steam & starch too, and have been told bugs will come and eat my quilts...oh, well. I never expect a response to a comment on any blog....you could spend to much of your life doing that. :-) Thanks for being honest and courageous.
Thanks for the laugh and the honesty... I can relate!
Thank you so much for this post. I am still a quilter in process. I don't sew a perfect 1/4 inch seam and often feel like I should stop quilting because of that. Thanks for sharing that you aren't perfect either!I am going to sew today and enjoy it. I also use a steam iron. Thanks for the comments about not judging each other's work. Great point. I don't always have a lot of money to buy quilt shop quality fabric and have to buy cheaper fabric. I think as long as you enjoy it do it.
I never wash fabric, use a steam iron and very seldom,hardly ever answer comments. Seems you're just like me.
Thanks so much for your post, and for the link to Tanesha's blog. The last item in particular has become a sticking point for me. I enjoyed blogging about quilting, but lately I haven't wanted to quilt at all, much less blog about it. I've felt more and more that there's an expectation from the blogging community that I just can't (or don't want to) live up to. Instead of saying "to heck with it, I'm doing what I want," I've stopped doing entirely.
As for replying to comments, when you get 5-15 comments on a post like I do, that's one thing. I do feel I should reply to them via email. But you receive so many comments that it's unrealistic to expect you to reply. I think anyone who follows your blog would be astonished if they DID receive a reply.
Carrie...you are just too cute! Myself as many many others can relate, but I'm not sure I could of said it as well. Thank-you for the most enjoyable read while enjoying my morning coffee!
I am completely crackin' up - probably not what you thought I'd do. I haven't been to Tanesha's post yet, but I'm sure I will be shaking my head "yes" to many things she has to say.... I secretly say these things in my head, especially about the peeps in my life and the ones I come across, that think I can whip them up something like on my next time upstairs, or on the amount of fabric in that upstairs loft, and won't the floor cave in, etc.... I enjoy what I do, and concur, they don't pay my bills!!!
I don't jump thru the hoops for anything any more, even in my boring, personal life. So much drama, some times - it's more enjoyable to be with my grandgirls and pretend, I'm their age - lol!
Love your honesty, openness, and humor!!! Your thoughts should be a reality check for all those quilt police officers out there, who by their self-righteousness attempt to take the fun out of quilting and blogging!You go girl! Love your blog and quilts! Just finished your Gentle Arts...and did it my way! Wish you could see it! BRAVO!!
Thank you for an very entertaining post and a link to the post that inspired you. I practically pulled a muscle in my neck nodding in agreement!
Amen to your shared thoughts. I especially am frustrated with the advertising on blogs. In the past year I have been reading quilting blogs, I have noticed a huge change. I started to write one or two of my previously favorites that have gone to the dark side, but decided better to just keep my words unsaid. So thanks for sharing your views.
I've read both blogs & I completely agree!! Previously, I thought using heavy steam was my little secret! I even replaced a fairly new steam iron a couple of years ago because it didn't get hot enough or make enough steam to satisfy me!!!! And, I'm pretty sure anyone buying stock in Mary Ellen's Best Press will get a good return on their investment because of the amount being sprayed on my fabric!! I also don't do "show and tell" at Guild because I don't want my skills, or lack thereof, to be 'judged!' When I retired I said I wanted to learn how to make quilts...for my own pleasure & lifelong love of sewing. Why is it assumed I will cheerfully hem pants & mend holes (not small holes, either) for others??? I didn't say I wanted to take in alterations work--I said I wanted to make quilts! Please don't feel you need to reply...this just gave me a chance to add to vent!!!
I'm glad Tanesha started this conversation. Sounds like a lot of us feel the same way. I get a kick out of random co-workers who want their pants hemmed. Um, no - I don't sew clothes - ever. And my sewing machine doesn't "go" unless there's a glass of wine nearby. My sewing room = my happy place. Hugs for Rosie - please keep blogging~!
Truly enjoyed your blog today. It was refreshing to hear that so many quilters quilt because they enjoy it and do what they do because it's what works best for them. I'm included!
Carrie, great post and thanks for the shout out! Thanks for sharing your "dirty secrets" about quilting...it's refreshing don't you think? LOL.
I love this post, Carrie.
It is all so true!!!
I LOVE your comments!!! Thank you for not being perfect!
In my opinion, there are "art quilts" and "traditional quilts." I appreciate and admire both, but frankly, I prefer traditional, utilitarian quilts that are thrown on beds and USED. They are not perfect and were intended to be used and worn out; they are scrappy and sometimes wild, but they are lovely.
I refuse to be dictated to by the "quilt police"; I will do what I do because I prefer to do it that way.
Don't even get me started on blogs that clutter their pages with advertisement. . .
It's nice to know that you and all the ladies who've posted feel as I do. I was raised w/a steam iron in my hand, so the thought of not pressing each seam sewn is totally foreign to me. I USED to do alterations but my family seems to forget that is past tense. I enjoy a beer while my quilt buddy likes her glass of wine when we sew. It's a HOBBY and hobbies are supposed to be fun. I agree w/the comments about blogs and have actually read a few lately that have become vicious. Why?? I don't read those now. Love your blog and I never knew that bloggers commented back so you're in the clear w/me. Hurrah for almost but not quite 1/4" seams. If it fits together I'm golden.
It looks like you found a tactful way to say what lots of us are thinking!
I, too, am a starch user. And a heavy steamer. And I owe that to YOU! Remember your post about starching every piece of fabric, no matter how small, so that it doesn't shrink? Best advice ever. Even my longarmer appreciates it.
I do realize that sponsorship might help to defray the cost of some blogs. But it becomes all to obvious when 6 bloggers are all "loving" one particular collection all at the same time. And I refuse to enter all those ridiculous contests. I'd actually rather spend money on fabric that I LOVE instead of having a big stash of uglies.
On comments - I seriously never expect a reply, but it is always a really nice treat when I receive one. My gripe is the bloggers who get 0-3 comments and then write a post about how they're way too busy to reply. Because then I think that maybe I'm too busy to bother reading. All they really need to do is turn comments off and that will solve the problem.
Thank you so much for this post, it's so true.
I just sew for myself or really a few special longtime friends. I sew because I enjoy it and that the only reason. Sometimes I feel bad and perhpas a bit left out because I don't have a blog BUT I don't have time for it and I feel uncomfortable about a own blog.
My quilting skills aren't the best but I do my best and I have a 28 yo domestic sewing machine and not some fancy stuff. So perhaps my quilting is simple but it's mine.
There're a lot of good blogs I love and visit daily. And of course I love a good giveaway. But there're blogs I visit just once or for a giveaway and then never again because there're just not my taste.
My hero! yes, my stash is big and I keep buying but it's my money and my hobby. I love steam, makes my blocks look great and my piecing a little better. I make quilts for those I want too, my time, my choice.
I don't have a blog because I don't have enough time to do everything I want too as it is. Read blogs I love, almost always comment because if you take the time to share I certainly can take the time to say "Thank you" or "I love it". If you email, great but I feel like owe you the comment not vice versa. I am still taken back by how rude some people are in the biosphere...where are their manners.
Lots of pets for Rosie and Hi to your Mom.
I read Tanesha's blog and yours. I must say that I agree wholeheartedly! WOW!
I am the "steam queen".
I am offended when people ask me to do alterations.
DO NOT EVEN ASK ME TO MAKE YOU A QUILT! EVER! If I want you have one of my quilts, you will have one.
Perfection is nice, but not always attainable. Oh well!
As for art quilts, I appreciate the work that went into them, but they truly leave me cold.
Also, these "Modern Quilts" don't do much for me either. How many more ways are there to combine large squares and rectangles? But it does get young people interested in quilting, and that's a good thing.
I sewed a block upside down into a top recently, and really had to ponder whether or not I would un-sew and turn it around. I did.
I do pre-wash because I don't want to deal with the preservatives in fabric, and I do starch sometimes.
I have a long-arm. It is for my own use. I don't care to and will not quilt for others. I do not have to justify owning a long-arm. Or my stash either! If you want to use my long-arm to finish your quilt, come on over, and I'll give you a lesson and get you started!
Glad to know that I am not alone!
You make me laugh. Thank you for being you!
I enjoy your blog and patterns. I started my own blog almost a year ago, but lately I had thought... do I need to do a giveaway or something? Now I know I can just blog for the reason I started it ... me. And my quilt history. I hope that anyone who stumbles upon it enjoys reading some of my posts, but it is more for me and and outlet to talk about a hobby I have come to love.
I loved your post, Carrie! And I'm so glad you aren't a perfectionist! My socks are in my drawer too and I'm good with that! If I took time to make everything neat and nice, living in a house with 6 males, I'd NEVER get any sewing done. My motto is: "It's good enough!" (that goes for food, laundry, bathrooms, flower beds, etc, etc.) That works for me!
Thank you for that part about blogging. I feel the same as you--and it's said better than I think I ever could. I try to keep a clear eye about why I do it--to share my love of quilting. Period.
Somedays I wonder if I could quit that English teachery job of mine with so much grading, and sell some patterns on the side, but then I look around and the things I want to design and make, you and others already are making and selling them. And I can figure out just about everything else. So I guess I'll keep my day job.
Thanks for the other true confessions. And no, you don't have to reply to this!
Thanks to everyone who is having this conversation. I'm breathing a sigh of relief that it's not just me ;-) Many times I wonder if I'm alone in some of my quilting thoughts. I guess not! I enjoyed reading the comments!
You are awesome. This is awesome.
I expect a reply to this reply. Pronto!
Thanks for a great "laugh out loud" post!
I love reading your blog! I came across it after checking our Sinta's blog (I used to be in the same guild and know her from the local quilt shop) It makes me feel like I'm hearing the news from a friend. Keep it up. Hugs to you, your Mom and especially to Rosie. And you do not have to respond to my comment! Life should be easy. Especially in summertime.
OMG! You deserve flowers, candy and a gift! Thank you *so* much for telling the way it is for me (and I bet a lot of us)!
I saw the other post as well and you both made me laugh and celebrate the seldom written truths about blogging and quilting. Your random drawers made me smile- I have drawers like that too- Just in case you think you are the only one with random drawers here is something that I hope will make you smile.. years ago, my MIL went to help a cousin clean out her house for moving. She found that the cousin had labeled a drawer- pieces of string too short to use- and another drawer- dead batteries ( this was before the time that eco disposal of batteries was the thing to do)... This always makes me grin when I think of some of the junk that gets tossed in my drawers.
I always enjoy reading your blog Carrie and so appreciate your sense of humor and joie de vivre about life.
Thank you! You make me feel better about my own quilting/sewing imperfections. I managed to sew a zipper correctly into a simple pouch last night, and it was a major victory! A scant/perfect quarter-inch continues to elude me, although I've gotten better. And my cutting "skills" - I try hard, but sometimes it's just not pretty. You've brightened my day considerably.
And I thought it was just me that felt that way about some of the blogs, blog hops, etc....no matter how hard I try I will never/always have a perfect 1/4" seam, and I tell my husband I have enough material/kits to last three life times, but I'm still going to buy more, that way he'll be able to have a huge garage sale when I'm gone and see lots of women and make a few bucks! I think the wine and sewing sounds like a great mixture to me!
I am a knitter who quilts a little, and NO, I will NOT spend up to $30 on yarn and I-can't-even-count-how-many hours of my limited free time knitting a pair of socks for you. The fact that you would ask me that tells me that you couldn't even begin to appreciate them. And NO, I do not sell them---I can't compete with Old Navy or WalMart, nor do I want to. (You don't have to answer my post---I am happy just to have a chance to vent among people who will understand.) I do read your blog, however because your quilts are beautiful and I appreciate the tips you post. I also enjoy reading about dear Rosie and your teaching adventures.


George V of England and Nicholas II of Russia (who are important to this post, I promise).
Hello, my dear readers, whom I envision as having been chomping at the bit for me to get back to the blog. Welcome to the first Manzen Post, a new format I'm trying out. As you might have guessed, if you have been following the blog and noticed my absence this fall, I sometimes have a difficult time fitting Washoku Day into my busy schedule. This has really become a problem over the last several months as I remodeled a house, moved, started a new job, and took an online class. What is the saying? When it rains it pours? Apparently my motto is, when it rains I shall voluntarily chuck my umbrella in the garbage. I'm so very sorry that my blog sank to the bottom of my priority list, but I promise to make a more dedicated effort, now that I have a roof over my head and have settled into my new job.
So, what is a Manzen Post? Well, to put it succinctly, they are brief blurbs about subjects that I don't have enough material to write a full length post about. The idea came, as many of my ideas do, from my sister. In our daily lives, I will often mention something that I read about Japan or a new type of Japanese snack I encountered, or something of the kind. Her usual question is whether I will write a blog post on it, and my usual reply is that I can't really write a whole post about a whatever it is, because it's only a tiny random bit of information. However, as I am struggling to put out full length anything right now, a blurb on a random bit of information sounds pretty good. So, here it goes, my first shot at a Manzen Post. Manzen roughly translates to Random or Pointless, though that does not mean they shall be boring. In fact, I aim to make them quite diverting. Now, I shall stop rambling, and tell you about this very strange piece of information I just stumbled across.
People who know me well (you know who you are) are doubtless aware that one of my greatest passions in life (aside from Japan) is World War I. That is not to say that I have an unhealthy obsession with that dark and gruesome chapter of history, but that I have a very healthy interest in that dark and gruesome chapter of history. I find it fascinating how WWI is the exact end of the old world, and really the cause of its destruction. Life would be unrecognizable without it. If you're ever talking to me, and you're tired of participating in the conversation and wish instead to listen to a lecture, tell me that you don't understand what started Word War I. Feel free to let your mind wander as I excitedly talk nonstop about Gavrilo Princip, the irascible Kaiser Wilhelm, Moltke, and the Schlieffen Plan.
But what does all this have to do with Japan? Nothing really. Japan participated in WWI, but not in a very dramatic way. Japan comes into this story in an entirely random and unimportant way. I am absolutely fascinated by the royal families of this period, since many of them are the last of their great monarchies. My special interest is the Romanov family and their tragic end. But I was not reading about the Romanovs or Japan when I stumbled across this intersections of interests, but was in fact reading about the history of tattoos. This was where I found a passing reference to the Japanese dragon that Nicholas II of Russia had tattooed on his arm. Picture me doing a double-take.
Apparently the Tsar of Russia got this ink done when he was visiting Japan in 1891. Photographs from this era are grainy at the best of times, and royalty back then didn't generally hang around in t-shirts. However, the Romanovs did take many family pictures (it's one of the reasons why they're so tragically relatable). In a few of these pictures Nicholas II has his sleeves rolled up, and you can just spot a shadow of a dragon thereon.
Nicholas II wasn't alone. He might have gotten the idea from his cousin George V of England, who had gotten a dragon tattoo during his visit to Japan in 1881, when he was just the Duke of York. If you're thinking that this was a radical rebellious action from the young prince to piss off his old fashioned royal father, you would be wrong. Edward VII had several tattoos of his own, though he got his done in Jerusalem. In fact, Edward VII had instructed the tutor of George and his brother to take the boys to get tattoos from the master artist Hori Chiyo. After this, many wealthy young britons took the trip to Japan just to emulate the Duke of York. I one hundred percent think that this should be a mandatory experience for all royalty.
The Duke of York getting some ink done.
Another day, when I have more time, I shall write about the history of tattoos in Japan. It is a fascinating subject, but that is a job for another day. In the mean time I hope you enjoyed this random story. Manzen Posts will most likely be shorter than this when I don't have to explain where I've been or what even a Manzen Post is.
My question for you today is, do you have any tattoos? I have four myself. You can tell me all about them in the comment section below.

KENIS_18 - Chaturba...
KENIS_18 - Chaturbate Live Sex - KENIS_18 Free Sex Cam - (TotallyFreeCam.com)
Private chat is the way to go here, if you can afford it. On the other hand, not everyone opposing same-sex marriage is an Evangelical: you simply found a group you can pick on whilst remaining politically correct. Big D: Since making the leap into porn and performing for the camera, who have you found to be the studios you enjoy working for? We found out that it is an amateur website and once we got on there we looked around and thought it could be fun. If someone finds out about it and they approach me or ask me about it I don't deny it. The most merciful thing you could do for someone who is truly guilty of murder, and who is facing life in prison, is to execute them! You got into porn later in life but you are still relatively new. Nothing is wrong with feeling sad if you are lonely, just put in all effort to finding the right friends. All our teen sex porn videos included are free naked cam girls [More Support] for watching. Not Deauxma. She may not be your typical porn star seeing how she is considered to be more mature and definately a super-MILF and she has been turning heads from Porn Valley all the way to the internet.
In this interview with XRentDVD's Big D, conducted at the 2007 AVN Expo in Las Vegas, Deauxma discusses her decision to get into porn later in life, her life away from porn as a swinger and why making porn is no different than the way she lives her personal life. With her southern charm complete with a Texas accent, Deauxma (pronounced 'Doe-Mae' as in saying 'Do Me' with a Texas accent) makes you wonder what it would have been like to nail that really hot mom that lived next door to you when you were growing up. How much memory does your recorder have? Some of the best features are the photo mosaic and the ability to use multiple windows, commonly available in only much more expensive photo editors. Big D: You are not the typical brand new porn star that got started at an early age. This doesn't involve pregnancy or creampies, unlike most of the clips I have on Impregnation Erotica, however this high-quality video (very high-quality considering it is porn) showcases some awesome breederly sex - just without the actual breeding.
Warning: Does appear on 'Motherless', which has been known to have less savory videos, along with some having viruses. I remember having no college funds even though my dad made good money. That a history of spitting has been recorded surprised me, and it's quite fascinating, which surprised me even more. It is catching on among the guys and becoming more prevalent. A person can find his/her true love online through these dating Australia services as there are thousands to profiles of single girls and guys to select from. When you are dirty talking, be aware of one crucial thing – safety! We've been involved into live cams for over a decade now, in more ways than one. Therefore, our own experiences with drones and other remotely controlled devices being used by perpetrators is discussed in further detail in order to raise what we deem to be more useful and accurate awareness.
When your spirit is alive with feelings of well being, you feel good, you feel sexy, and you feel more alive! They make you feel sexy. It is whatever I feel is sexy and sensual that is what we do. Also, the way they film they just let me go at it. • Also, check out the other hot Chaturbate models below. Big D: You definitely have carved out a niche for yourself in that the MILF genre has really exploded and is one of the fastest growing segments in porn today. We have the largest library of xxx Pics on the web. PLAYBOY PLUS! - Pics of Every Playmate! Lots of impregnation dirty talk with the overall theme of entrapment, which may not be to everyone's tastes, but an intriguing thought is the kind of dangers a modern-day breeder would have to deal with anyway. The drug will eventually stop working and the user may crash and sleep for days.
Guys could choose tinyoutfits, flattering clothes, and also clothing which will show an exciting portion of their physical body. The production guys and the camera guys and everything is there on time. Seeing seven bald eagles at one time is still a record for me. Damn, that is one hell of a friend zone! Actually my husband and I got in and a friend of his suggested that I be a Southern Charm. We said, 'well what's a Southern Charm? My page was up for only about four days and we got a check and we said, 'okay, this could be really fun'. It was not just you choosing to do this but your husband was involved. A device in the home elevator prevents each of those doors from performing the opposite action at the same time. We bring a lot of experience but at the same time we are happy, we're content with who we are and in our sexuality.

Treatment of the Ureteral Stone: What Do the AUA Guidelines Say?
by Nicole L. Miller, MD, FACS | Jul 2020
Nicole L. Miller, MD, FACS, Associate Professor of Urology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, discusses AUA guidelines for the treatment of ureteral stones, and compares and contrasts them to the EAU guidelines, examining several cases to illustrate similarities and differences in treatment approaches. She observes that the EAU guidelines are updated more frequently than the AUA guidelines, which often puts them ahead in terms of pain management. Dr. Miller emphasizes that shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) treatment has the least morbidity and lowest complication rate, but ureteroscopy (URS) has a higher stone-free rate in all ureteral locations. She discusses which special cases would be best treated with URS, and why a ureteral stent is not necessary after uncomplicated URS. Finally, Dr. Miller looks at how multimodal therapy for stent pain can significantly reduce narcotic usage.

Jennifer T. Anger, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Urology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, discusses recurrent uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women. Dr. Anger chairs the AUA committee on guidelines for infections, and she discusses the rationale behind recent changes to recommendations. She outlines how the thinking about recurrent infections has changed over time, and highlights the collateral damage that a one-size-fits-all antibiotic treatment can cause, noting that the new guidelines emphasize treating individual urinary cultures. She goes on to discuss patient profiles, common symptoms, and what the guidelines recommend for initial work-ups as well as treatments. Dr. Anger further delves into ways to prevent or decrease the risk of UTIs with antibiotic prophylaxis, along with the possible risks of doing so.

Noto per aver lottato nella Total Nonstop Action Wrestling con i ring name Matt Bentley, Michael Shane e Martyr Bentley.

Carriera

Gli inizi
Cugino di Shawn Michaels, Bentley lavorò nella Extreme Championship Wrestling dall'ottobre del 2000 fino all'ultimo show della federazione, svoltosi il 13 gennaio 2001. In seguito, lottò per la Ring of Honor, dove ebbe un feud con Paul London terminato con un match ad Unscripted vinto da London con una Shooting Star Press effettuata da una scala.

Total Nonstop Action
Bentley fu scritturato dalla TNA nel 2003 e debuttò con il nome Michael Shane. Lottò fin dall'inizio per la X Division Championship, vincendolo nel primo Ultimate X match di sempre. Strinse quindi un'alleanza con Shane Douglas e Traci dando vita alla stable dei The New Franchise. Nel gennaio del 2004 perse il titolo contro Chris Sabin.

Nell'aprile del 2004 la stable si sciolse. Si alleò, assieme a Traci, con Kazarian dando vita al tag team Shazarian. Insieme sfidarono il detentore del titolo della X-Division, A.J. Styles, sconfiggendolo in un Ultimate X Match; a sorpresa, Bentley e Kazarian vennero dichiarati entrambi campioni. Due settimane dopo, persero il titolo in un Gaundlet for the Gold match. Il duo si divise all'inizio del 2005, quando Kazarian passò alla World Wrestling Entertainment; Traci divenne l'assistente di Dusty Rhodes e la nuova valletta di Bentley fu Trinity.

Nello stesso anno è costretto a rinunciare al ring name Michael Shane poiché la WWE lo giudicò troppo simile a quello di "Mike Shane", copyright della World Wrestling Entertainment ed utilizzato da un wrestler della federazione. In seguito, lottò dapprima come Michael per poi utilizzare il suo nome completo, Matt Bentley.

La sua carriera in TNA terminò nell'agosto del 2007, quando fu svincolato dalla federazione.

Comparì brevemente il 4 aprile 2008 combattendo a WWE Smackdown! come Matt Bentley contro Vladimir Kozlov, perdendo.

Home/Goa/Casino Policy will be announced this month: Parrikar
GoaGoa
Casino Policy will be announced this month: Parrikar
Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on Friday announced that casino policy will be announced this month and once the Gaming Commissioner was appointed, local Goans will not be allowed to enter casinos from next year.
Speaking in the assembly, the Chief Minister said as a policy, Goans would not be permitted to enter the casino playing areas and a mechanism in this regard would be put in place once the Gaming Commissioner was appointed and appropriate rules for regulation would formulated.
The Chief Minister said offshore casinos operating in River Mandovi off the state capital would be relocated to special, designated zones would be notified by the government in the policy.
"Government shall identify notified designated zones where present offshore casinos can be shifted. Which means the government will notify zones," he said, adding licences for offshore casinos would be issued provided they granted their willingness within a year's time from the date of policy being declared to shift their operations to notified designated zones.
The six operating offshore casinos would be allowed to complete the relocation process, he said, adding licences for casino operations being granted in the designated zone could be considered for a tenure of ten to 15 years taking into account the huge investment required for such projects.

Resilient floorings - vinyl, linoleum, rubber and cork, are so called because they are soft and flexible, and give a cushioned effect underfoot.
They are suitable for most rooms, as long as they are given a non-slip finish for areas that might get wet and slippery.
One of the newer resilient floorings is rubber. Rubber floors have been around for a long time, but mainly as industrial or warehouse floors. Now they have moved into interior decorating.
Rubber is available in great textures, colours and designs. Not only does rubber look good, it also has several advantages.
It is a natural product and is completely recyclable. Rubber flooring comes in sheets or tiles, and can be new or recycled material.
Rubber is a very durable flooring material that is water and heat resistant. As such is ideal for use in wet areas.
It is comfortable to walk and stand on and is a good sound insulator. For these reasons, it was previously most widely used in gyms, bars and restaurants.
Although a rubber floor would look cool and funky in a living area, it is generally used in bathrooms, laundries, basements, games rooms and garages.
It is most suitable for these areas because it is durable, water, mould and bacteria resistant, and very easy to maintain and keep clean.
Despite being used in restaurants, rubber floors are not really suitable for kitchens, because grease makes rubber dangerously slippery, and also grease can cause rubber to perish.
Despite their good looks and durability, rubber floors have a few drawbacks you should consider when thinking about choosing a rubber floor.
Slippery when wet: Although generally used in the wet areas of a home, caution must apply as rubber floors can be slippery when wet. Also, avoid grease, which makes rubber a falls hazards.
Although rubber is fairly low maintenance, you still need to keep the floor clean, removing dust and grit with a broom or damp cloth. You can clean rubber flooring with a mop and mild household detergent or a special rubber cleaner from the rubber manufacturer.
Installing a rubber floor is relatively simple, and any competent DIY-er can manage it. Rubber comes in either tiles or rolls of sheeting. Tiles are easiest to install, while the sheeting requires a bit more precision. Some companies make t tiles that install by a click-and-lock mechanism.
Pick out the rubber at the manufacturer and if it is sheeting, have it cut to your rooms' dimensions.
Rubber is not easily damaged, though you do have to be careful when handling sharp objects, because it marks easily.

8 Books About Love and Obsession
By Olivia Sudjic |
Olivia Sudjic's engrossing debut novel, Sympathy, explores how technology dissolves personal boundaries. Alice, recently moved from London to New York, becomes obsessed with author Mizuko Himura. Physical, emotional, and digital boundaries are tested and broken as Alice struggles to replicate her close connection with Mizuko's social media persona in her organic relationship with the real Mizuko. Sudjic picks some of her favorite books about obsession and love.
I'm often less interested in books about reciprocal love than its edgier sister, longing. Longing does not require the feeling to be mutual, or even for the longed-for to know of their admirer's existence. It does nothing to satisfy a hunger but sharpens it. The books listed below turn the narrative of longing into a kind of exorcism, an attempt to free the mind by committing the object of infatuation to paper. Writers themselves are prone to obsessive tendencies, creating intense attachments to their fictional characters. When I was in the middle of writing my novel, it felt like the most intensely one-sided relationship I'd ever had.

The narrator of this novel makes no claim to anything unique about herself, her obsession, or its object. It is presented almost as an accident that the speaker falls for the man she does, who is left nameless. Davis applies her forensic attention and wry humor to what the mind does when it refuses to let go, and how one might try to prize someone from its grip. It is told in retrospect, with a kind of detachment that suggests not cauterization so much as bemusement at the person the speaker used to be, stubbornly stalking this unremarkable man, finally replacing him with a book: "I didn't have him, but I had this writing, and he could not take it away from me." The story is told in order to estrange, to bring the obsession to a close. To read it during heartbreak is a precise and mathematical kind of healing.
2. Bluets by Maggie Nelson
Memoir, poem, lyric essay, or 240 fragments of prose, fact, and quotation that build, lattice-like, contemptuous of genre, a sensation of being inside Nelson's head. A place that is occupied with loss of love and the color blue. I'm interested in how heartbroken storytellers find a substitute audience to address in the loved one's place, when other lines of communication have been shut down. "Perhaps it is becoming clearer," Nelson states near the end, "why I felt no romance when you told me that you carried my last letter with you, everywhere you went, for months on end, unopened. This may have served some purpose for you, but whatever it was, surely it bore little resemblance to mine. I never aimed to give you a talisman […] I wrote it because I had something to say to you." If you're lovelorn, this book is so slim and weightless that there's no reason for it not to be with you always.
3. I Love Dick by Chris Kraus
This book came out in 1997 and grew its devotees, cult-like, until it was reprinted in 2015, blew up, and became a TV series which I'm not sure about. It blurs all lines between fiction, essay, and memoir, and a few others along the way. Chris, the artist at the center of the book, falls inexplicably in love with Dick (a "transitional object") the first time they meet. She and her husband (older, more successful) write letters to Dick as a kind of therapy, temporarily reigniting desire in their sexless marriage ("finally inhabiting the same space at the same time"). Then, when they start to send the (unanswered) letters, it is reframed as an art-project. Gradually, it becomes a vehicle for Chris's liberation and catalyst for her own philosophy on art, love, and being female.
4. Beloved by Toni Morrison
This needs no introduction, least of all by me, but for the uninitiated: Margaret Garner is the runaway slave who inspired Morrison, murdering her own child rather than letting it be captured. Morrison then fictionalizes this real-life story, the history and legacy of slavery, by immediately fixing the reader within a world where ghosts concretely exist. The unimaginable, inhuman horrors of slavery make ghosts seem inevitable. I am in awe of the complexity of Morrison's characterization, the fierceness of the love described, and her sympathetic treatment of the demonic. When Amy, a poor white woman, helps a pregnant Sethe escape on feet so damaged as to lose all feeling, Morrison writes: "Then she did the magic: lifted Sethe's feet and legs and massaged them until she cried salt tears. 'It's gonna hurt, now,' said Amy. 'Anything dead coming back to life hurts.'"
5. The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides
Eugenides does dark humor brilliantly, and his Greek chorus of infatuated boys turned grown men perfectly frame the story from a distance (the best place for all infatuations to arise) without intruding on it. Their obsession and subsequent documentation of the girls is based not on intimacy but the ephemera of female adolescence and local myth. The result is that the girls become larger than life, iconic as the laminated Virgin Mary Cecilia clings to having slit her wrists. The boys fill in some of the gaps in their knowledge using their imagination, aware that, though devoted, they are not quite up to the task. The mystery of female subjectivity they stand outside, trying to peer into, extends far beyond the parts they have salvaged.
6. The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith
Another literary Dick that becomes the object of infatuation (Chris does mention Dickie Greenleaf in one of her I Love Dick letters), but this time as the product of homosexual desire. Tom Ripley is the amoral protagonist of five Highsmith novels, often diagnosed online by fans as suffering from a narcissistic personality disorder. The brief, intense attention of Dickie makes Tom feel like a somebody, but Tom's desire for Dickie is not returned. "Anticipation! It occurred to him that his anticipation was more pleasant to him than the experiencing." Tom's fetishization of Dickie causes him to withdraw from Tom. Tormented by Dickie's silence, Tom kills him and steals Dickie's identity. Highsmith is excellent on paranoia and this means Dickie's murder (which Tom convinces others to be suicide) sets in motion a psychological exploration of longing and guilt.
7. Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
I first read Lolita at 13, in the same way I listened to Nirvana's Nevermind, or wore clip-on ear studs at that age: self-consciously. This meant I missed the humor in it, the sadness, and much else besides. I reread it more recently and this time laughed aloud at Humbert's machinations, the elaborate dance he orchestrates in order to claim his prize. I didn't skip the less sexy parts, in the epilogue Nabokov talks of the genesis of Lolita as a "throb." A throb committed first to a short story, which he then destroyed, a throb which persisted until it grew into a novel, one which he also considered destroying many times, but "stopped by the thought that the ghost of the destroyed book would haunt my files for the rest of my life." He could, of course, be describing Humbert's infatuation. The book, and Nabokov's nymphet, which scandalized so many on publication, is now a part of our culture, even if many have never read it.
8. Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh
I read an interview with Moshfegh before I'd heard of her, in which she took aim at people who wanted answers for how and why she wrote such an unlikable character (which, when Trump is electable, seems a moot point) and hit back at the idea that her protagonist, Eileen, is some kind of freak or monster. That alone made me want to read Eileen. I did so after I finished Sympathy, and was both pleased and alarmed to find a line almost identical to something I'd written in my book. It was eerie to read, but then Moshfegh and I examine a similar dynamic between women. Her book is about many things, mainly isolated women, longing, and imprisonment, but it is partially disguised as a thriller. If the reader meets it on its own terms, rather than the blurb's, it grows into something excellent.

Broughton is a small village overwhelmed by the urban sprawl of Milton Keynes. Within the 14th-century nave of St Lawrence church, however, is a medieval delight; a series of wall paintings that were buried beneath layers of wall-covering for centuries until they were revealed during a Victorian restoration.
The oldest building in Buckingham, the Chantry Chapel dates to the 15th century. It boasts an earlier Norman doorway. The chapel was restored by Gilbert Scott in the 19th century, at which time it housed the Royal Latin School. It is owned by the National Trust, who operate a small second-hand book shop from the premises. The chapel is quite simple in design; it has a central arched doorway topped by a rose window. On either side of the doorway are a pair of windows, one for each of the building's two stories. A small bellcote sits atop the ridgeline of the roof. Inside, there is a small wooden gallery at one end of the chamber, supported on oaken legs.
A late 15th-century church within the grounds of Chenies Manor. The current church replaced a 12th-century structure made partly of wood. The only bits of the Norman church to survive are a section of a column capital and the 12th-century font. The 15th-century rebuilding was the work of Sir David Phelip (Phillips), husband of Dame Agnes Cheyne.
In 1244 Sir Ralphe de Norwich founded an Augustinian priory at Chetwode, 4 miles from Buckingham. At that time there was already a parish church here, dedicated to St Martin, though there was not much in the way of a village beyond a few scattered farms.
A 12th-century church containing superb 14th-century wooden effigies. St Mary the Virgin at Clifton Reynes stands at the end of a long lane, seemingly isolated despite the fact that it is not far from the outskirts of Olney. The church consists of an aisled nave, chancel, north chapel, west tower, and a south porch.
An appealing medieval church with Norman roots. Much of the current building is 13th and 14th century, but there are some extremely appealing Norman elements still left to see. There was a church on this site at least as early as 1140, but the chancel was extended in 1230, a south aisle and arcade added around 1240, and a south porch in the late 15th century.
A lovely Norman church standing beside the historic manor of Dorney Court. Within the church are a Norman font, 14th-century wall paintings, and an ornate early 17th-century monument to Sir William Garrard and his family.
A historic country church on a hillside overlooking the Vale of Aylesbury, St Mary's dates to at least the 13th century. The exterior features a very large and solid west tower, with an external stair turret, plus a battlemented nave and chancel.
St Bartholomew's church at Fingest is a wonderfully unique Norman church, with a justly famous west tower. The layout of the church is remarkable; the tower is wider than the narrow nave, which suggests that the tower was originally used as the nave, and the current nave was the original chancel. The current chancel is 13th century and may have replaced an original apse.

U.S. Sen. Bob Corker takes over as Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman this week.
U.S. Sen. Bob Corker officially becomes chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee this week. He says one of his first acts will be to hold hearings on the Obama administration's decision to soften the country's stance toward Cuba.
The Tennessee Republican said in a conference call with reporters Wednesday morning that the Cuban government hasn't yet lived up to its end of the bargain — which includes releasing 53 political prisoners. But he added, he's keeping an open mind.
Corker said the hearings will take place sometime in the next four to six weeks.


I am often amazed at the way sushi has spread across the world, and delighted that Westerners have come to love this healthy dish. However, I have to admit that I'm a little dismayed at some of the strange ingredients that are sometimes included, and the odd places it turns up. The sushi you find in refrigerated displays at your local grocery bears little resemblance to the real thing.
In Japan, sushi is served in izakayas and upscale bars, but I recommend that you head to a traditional specialty sushi shop. When visiting such shops, (some have been in existence for hundreds of years) you'll find that many of the varieties you've come to rely on don't exist there; California maki, dragon rolls, and asparagus rolls, while delicious and inexpensive, are American inventions. Sushi restaurants in Japan tend to specialize in nigiri zushi, with just a few kinds of maki zushi. Recently, some American style sushi recipes have been adopted in Japan, but are still rare.
The style of sushi that we now know today originated in the Edo era as a fast food that was served from street stalls in Edo (now Tokyo). It was called Edomae-zushi (literally, "in front of Edo sushi" named for the bay where the fresh fish and seaweed were brought in and sold) The nigiri sushi were portable, and the flavored vinegar kept the rice from spoiling. After the Great Kanto earthquake of 1923, Edomae-zushi was spread across Japan by unemployed sushi chefs.
It's also surprisingly easy to make, and the variety of raw fish available in local stores has increased over the years. However, unless you go to a specialty Japanese grocery, it's unlikely that you will find more than a few kinds of sushi-grade raw fish or shellfish. However, don't despair: you can create a wonderful spread by adding those American versions. It will be easier on your wallet as well!
Use your imagination when serving the sushi. While they are beautiful on any kind of serving plate, colored plates usually set off the sushi better then white ones. Similarly, it's nice to use unusual shapes, such as square or oblong plates. Or, you can go the traditional route and use lacquer sushi platters.
I have a stack of three 12" sushi platters that were once used in a restaurant. I found them at an antique shop; they're well worn & not in the best shape, but they stack perfectly and are perfect for taking to parties, etc.
To assemble a party tray, place the sushi on the platter, grouping the different kinds together; you might want to map the platter beforehand so that you have enough room. Place the nigiri diagonally, with approximately 1/4" space between each piece. Arrange the platter so that white varieties, such as hirame and ikura, are not next to each other. The arrangement should have a good balance of color and should accentuate the variety of ingredients and give an impression of bounty.
Garnish the plate or platter with prepared ginger, shiso leaves and dollops of bright green wasabi. The bright green of shiso leaves not only looks wonderful next to bright red cuts of maguro; it also happens to taste wonderful together. Serve with soy sauce in small individual dipping plates, or for parties, in a small bowl with a spoon.


Is it BBQ or is it Grilling?
Is it BBQ or are you really Grilling?
Two methods of cooking that are widely misunderstood are barbequing and grilling. Most people think that anything you put on a grill outside can be called either. Others think that barbequing is cooking on a grill using barbeque sauce. Then there is another group that thinks that anything you put barbeque sauce on is called "barbeque".
Adding to the confusion is our American way of using verbs as nouns and vice versa. You can barbeque meat. You can go to a barbeque. You can go to a party and eat barbeque. You can even go to a barbeque and eat barbeque. And not only that, you can even spell the word a number of different but acceptable ways.
In reality, however, barbequing and grilling are two completely different methods of cooking that are determined by the heat source. Both are done outside because the smoky element of the dish is important.
Let's start with grilling. When you grill food, for example a steak, you use direct heat. In other words, you place the steak directly over the coals or gas grate. The heat and smoke rise and directly cook and smoke the meat. The cover of the grill is open.
On the other hand, when you barbeque something, you use indirect heat and create an environment like an oven with your grill. In other words, you place your coals on each side of the grill with an open space in the middle. (If you are using gas, you turn on the side grates but not the middle one.) The food you are cooking is then placed in the middle and the lid is closed. It's just like roasting or baking food in your oven. You can have barbeque sauce on it, but what makes it barbeque is the cooking method, not the ingredients.
This is also why tender meats (like tenderloin and other steaks) are usually grilled and tougher meats are usually barbequed. Tender meats are delicious when quickly cooked and toughen when they are left on the heat too long. Tough cuts (like pork shoulder and ribs) remain tough if quickly cooked (grilled) but become tender when cooked slowly over a long period of time.
To complicate matters even more, barbeque can often be a combination of both cooking methods. The meat is seared on a hot grate (grilled) and then moved to a cooler place within the grill to slowly finish cooking because if it's left on a hot grate the collagen in the meat won't have time to break down and it won't be tender before it's burned. Now it's being barbequed.
All of this makes the difference between northern and southern "barbeque" a little easier to understand. A northerner will expect his barbeque to be slowly cooked in a tomato based barbeque sauce. Southern sauces, on the other hand, lean more toward mustard and vinegar bases and have a significantly different taste. It is, however, all the same meat (usually pork or beef ribs or shoulder) and it's all done by the same cooking methods. It's just the ingredients that differ. It's all seriously good.

The architecture of this cathedral is of the Gothic inspiration, meant to lead upwards (Franz). This hold-to-light card provides illumination to various features of the image, including the church windows, the moon, and the stars. The combination of the lighting, as well as the Gothic features of the building imply that higher being is reached when one sees this structure, or better yet, is surrounded by the structure. It is as if the pointed architecture reaches out and grasps heavenly light to bring down upon believers and followers. Despite the fact that the Cathedral is placed against a dark backdrop, its tall structure dominates, and continues to share the light that believers seek.

ThirdEye at TieCon

Many know that "TiEcon," the biggest conference hosted by TiE Silicon Valley that promotes the latest developments in technology and entrepreneurship, is one of the hottest tech events that happened in Santa Clara in 2016. What you may not know is that 2016 also marked a landmark year for Third Eye Consulting Services & Solutions to showcase our latest innovative software to more than 4,800 attendants at this very conference, and our booth was a huge success. More than 100 guest speakers and leading minds in the tech world formed part of the audience to see Third Eye's advanced analytics & machine learning offerings: "Eyera," "Safera" and "Syra."
TiEcon had many seminars on the evolution of new "IoT" technology, known as the "Internet of things" that includes the expanding network of devices that are connected over the cloud. Keynote speaker Ernest Earon was on hand to demonstrate how his agro-drone "UAV," an unmanned aerial vehicle, is redefining grapevine cultivation. Ernest is the CTO and co-founder of PrecisionHawk, and his invention was the first UAV usable for agriculture.
Right in line with the IoT excitement, Third Eye showed presentations of Eyera, a complete IoT platform built on Microsoft Azure. Eyera manages real-time, streaming data from any number of Internet-enabled devices to help companies have better fraud detection, sales predictions, fleet analytics for transport enterprises and equipment alerts for maintenance before parts break or supplies run out.
This tech forum's talks on Big Data discussed a variety of hot topics around the importance of data-enabled business models and how they're changing lots of industries. Few know the massive scale of this field better than keynote speaker Dr. Rupak Biswas, the Director of Exploration Technology from the NASA Ames Research Center in California. He shared very insightful ideas that he's learned from his work in leading the new quantum-computing projects at NASA.
It's precisely these breakthroughs in big-data management that led Third Eye to create Syra, which makes Big Data much more valuable. Syra is a dynamic cloud-based ETL tool that extracts, transforms and loads data while moving it from one database to another. Syra does what Apache Hadoop software, non-relational databases, and other open-source analytics tools cannot. Syra does ad-hoc joins, combines data and assists with all the complex query patterns required in real-world business activities, and it's fully compatible with Amazon Redshift and Cloudera Impala.
Finally, this convention also focused keenly on the topic of machine learning in trending technologies. The questions of how intelligent machines are becoming and what they should do for us came up in a riveting talk by keynote speaker Jeffrey Dean from Google. In his discourse titled "The Future is Now," this Google Senior Fellow shared his special perspectives learned from leading the Google Brain research team.
Today's freshest ideas on supervising machine learning resonated perfectly with Third Eye's Safera product, which also caught the attention of a large number of guests at this conference. Safera builds on Microsoft Azure's big-data computing to utilize both cloud and on-premise servers. This highly intelligent system detects patterns during its operation to continue adapting to changing scenarios in industries such as security and law enforcement. Safera's successful deployment at various locations has helped the authorities anticipate crimes even before they occur and prepare better for impending emergency situations.
All in all, Third Eye felt proud to be at this exceptional gathering of great minds in the tech world, and we'll be sure to join everyone there again in 2017!
