Christmas is almost here! And I don't know about your home, but in mine, the excitement is all around! We absolutely, positively love the holidays! We love the lights we love the music... we love it all. But perhaps my most favorite thing about the Christmas season is the tradition of it all.
When we take a look back throughout the years we see that many things in our lives have changed. We've gotten new careers, we've moved, our children have grown older...as have we. But when it comes to the holidays, so many things always remain the same. Maybe it's the annual family trip to spend the holidays together as a family. Maybe it's a traditional meal that you eat each year, no matter where life takes you. Maybe it's traditions like Elf of the Shelf, or writing letters to Santa. Christmas Mass, caroling, holiday parties...everywhere we look Christmas is surrounded by traditions.
In my family, like so many others, these are Christmas staples. We have seen them again and again and never tire of watching. We have grown up with them ourselves, and have introduced our children to them now. I don't have to tell you what these movies are all about, or why they are so great...you already know!
But these anniversary editions do bring some fresh new fun to the table with all new bonus features! They allow us to take a behind the scenes look at all our favorites! They let us sing and have fun and get in the Christmas spirit with fun holiday sing-a-longs. And perhaps our favorite part, we are even able to learn how to draw our favorite characters from these beloved tales! The movies are great all by themselves, but these fun features take our holiday celebrations to the next level!

Obama, Kagan, Senate & Rubber Stamps or Fair and Just?
To The United States Senate Judiciary Committee:
Rose Colombo dated July 5, 2010
There is no doubt that Elena Kagan is an intelligent woman, but neither can we deny that her voice rang out with deep passion when she spoke of senator Obama during a speech as the Dean of Harvard University of Law during her introduction of senator Obama viewed on a You Tube video. In fact, she appeared to be awed by his presence. Anyone could see that she believed and stated that she believed he was the "most brilliant" studen to ever attend Hardvard and suggested that he should set his sights on the highest of political offices and run for U.S. President. Shortly thereafter, he followed her suggestion and he was elected as president in 2008, but as senator Obama, he stated on public video that he didn't have enough experience to be the President of the United States. Elena Kagan's speech projected extreme favoritism towards senator Obama. One must ask then, how can a nominee for the position of a U.S. Justice deny her passion and admiration for the president's poltical views, which are similar to her own views, if appointed as a U.S. Supreme Court Justice? This speech led me to wonder if her admiration for senator Obama began when she realized that their political views on abortions; euthanasia; the military; and Islamic studies became known to them as interests in common.
Therefore, it is of the utmost importance that the U.S. Senate ask tough questions on behalf of the American people at the senate nomination hearings. It is not the job of the senate to rubber stamp a nominee based on their intelligence alone, or their ability to be witty and make senators laugh or even based upon their charm. It is important the U.S. Supreme Justice nominee have long time experience as a judge and understand the significance of protecting the constitutional rights of every U.S. man, woman, and child without allowing their political passions, views, and agendas to take hold. It is important that the Rule of Law be strictly guarded as well as the need for Checks and Balances, especially on the Supreme Court. Therefore, the American people need the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee to step up to the plate and ask the tough questions and demand honest clear answers from the respected Elena Kagan as follows:
1. Did Elena Kagan support proposed laws involving physicial assisted suicide and argue that a federal law protecting mentally ill patients be struck down or that doctors be allowed to legally euthanize their patients upon request as reported by grassroots groups?
2. Did Elena Kagan support proposed Supreme Court law allowing partial birth abortions and argue to President Clinton that a mother has a right to abort her fully developed unborn baby because she "feels" her health would be adversely affected as alleged in the grassroots news?
3. Did Elena Kagan welcome Islamic studies to promote Shariah Law at Harvard….and personally officiate in 2003 over the establishment of an Islamic Finance Project at Harvard…to promote Shariah-Compliant Finance (SCF) as alleged by a constitutional law firm and national activist groups as reported by grassroots news?
4. Did Elena Kagan promote the enlisting of promising law students into the Islamic studies at Harvard as alleged by grassroots news?
5. Did Elena Kagan know that Sharia-Compliant Finance allegedly has its roots in the Muslim Brotherhood and that their strategic goal in North America is to eliminate Western civilization from within as reported by journalists, even foreign news?
6. Did Elena Kagan allegedly deny U.S. military recruits the right to access offices or use office equipment at Harvard because they opposed gays in the military as alleged?
7. Did Elena Kagan allegedly support co-ed bathrooms at Harvard as alleged by grassroots groups?
8. Did Elena Kagan support the a policy that Harvard pay for sex changes for Harvard students as alleged by national activist groups in the news?
9. Isn't the nomination of the respected Elena Kagan and President Obama considered to be a conflict of interest or some thing akin to nepotism since he was a law student at Harvard and she favored him and promoted him for higher office in her speech?
It is extremely important that the U.S. Senators who represent the American people understand that American people view this nomination as a top priority issue and that we the voters will look at your votes in November 2010 -2012 and candidate score cards and the voters and newspapers will include these two key votes. The U.S. Senate does not have the authority to rubber stamp any nominee thinking the American people aren't watching or aware of their votes, not suggesting the U.S. Senate would rubber stamp a nominee, but suggesting the importance of asking the tough questions on behalf of the American people.
Respectfully, we await your questions and votes.

Hindostan was launched at Liverpool in 1817. initially, she traded with India under a licence from the British East India Company (EIC). She also traded with the United States, Singapore, Africa, and Central America. She was wrecked on 24 December 1838 near Omoa, Honduras.

Career
Hindostan first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1818.

In 1813 the EIC had lost its monopoly on the trade between India and Britain. British ships were then free to sail to India or the Indian Ocean under a licence from the EIC.

Hindostan, R.Stewart, master, sailed for Bombay on 31 January 1817. She arrived back at Liverpool from Bengal on 13 January 1819. She had sailed from the Cape on 8 December 1818.

On 25 January 1820, Hindostan, Kirkwood, master, sailed for Bombay.

Hindostan, C.Jackson, master, was among the British ships in the Bonny River in April 1837 when Commander Robert Craigie of the sloop  overthrew the usurper Annah Pepple, to the Kingdom of Bonny, and reinstated Dappa Pepple. The British signed a new treaty on 9 April 1837.

Fate
Hindostan, Pearce, master, was on her way from Omoa, Honduras to Belize when she wrecked on 24 December 1838 near Omoa. Her materials, cargo, and crew were saved.

Hindostan was no longer listed in the volume of Lloyd's Register for 1839.

Midget Thistles start key seven-game stretch away from Thistles Arena
Kenora Daily Miner and News
Jan 04, 2013 • January 4, 2013 • 1 minute read
Kenora Midget AAA Thistles start a seven-game stretch of Manitoba Midget AAA Hockey League games away from home this weekend.
The Thistles are in Thompson, MB to play the Norman Northstars for games tonight (Friday, Jan. 4) and Saturday evening as they begin their final 14 regular season games sitting in a solid third spot in the league's East Division standings. The 16-10-0-4 Thistles have 36 points — 10 back of the second-place Winnipeg Wild and double the total of the fourth-place Northstars.
"It is a very key weekend for us," said coach Doug Novak. "We've practiced hard since we got back and we want to get the New Year kicked off on the right foot."
Novak said the team can improve on its record away from home and it has to happen in the next month.
The Thistles and Northstars met back in October for a pair of games at Thistles Arena. Norman won 5-4 in overtime on Oct. 18 and Kenora scored a 4-3 win Oct. 19.
Although there is a third of the season left to play, the Thistles' goal is certainly to hold home-ice advantage in the Manitoba Midget AAA Hockey League playoffs in February.
Novak said the team's focus is day by day.
"The guys are really good about that. They don't look at the end of the rainbow," he said.
In March, the Thistles play host to the Hockey Northwestern Ontario Midget AAA Branch Playdowns March 15-17.
The ultimate home playoff dates are April 4-7. The 2013 Telus Cup Western Regionals will be held in Kenora in partnership between Hockey Northwestern Ontario and Lake of the Woods Minor Hockey with the Kenora Thistles being the host team.

#ReleaseTheMemo
I have been reluctant to say anything because if something sounds too good to be true, then it's probably not true. But a bunch or Republican Congressmen are behind it, and the New York Times is taking it seriously. Not seriously in the sense that "wow this stuff is real, Hillary and Obama are crooks," but rather "those sneaky Republicans could use this as effective propaganda to make the 'good guys' look bad."

Should male models get equal pay for equal work? »
Morning Joe went full bore on the idea that releasing the memo was treason and should never see the light of day to protect America's national security…and it's a nothingburger that means nothing.
Needless to say, I had some cognitive dissonance with my whiplash this morning.
My gut tells me this is probably closer to a nothingburger than the keys to the kingdom of a corrupt justice department and FBI. But I'm enjoying the show.
I was really disappointed by the "secret society" fight the Republicans picked, so let's hope they used better sense on this one.
Of course Hillary is a crook. She invaded Libya in order to upgrade her profile for the presidential race. There is nothing she nor Bill wouldn't do.
The memo is just step one. There are many steps to follow. What the memo will do though is delegitimize Mueller and his investigation. It will give Trump the political cover to force Mueller to wind it down or have someone at Justice do it for him. That alone is worth it even if nothing ultimately happens to Clinton or Obama.
Commentary magazine was way down on the memo but that seems to be because they think that Meuller probe is about Trump firing Comey.
In reality the thesis of the MSM/Democrats is that Trump is a Russian agent because they have compromising information and/or he has business deals. That is the premise to refute. Why was the Hillary campaign pointing all these fingers *before* the election? Because they had Susan Powers unmask officials and then leak the information internally to the campaign.
And BTW we know that Huma had classified information on the home computer but she signed a statement under oath when she left State that she had turned over all such information. Why was that never prosecuted? Oh yeah because Strzok was the guy who investigated that too.
Lion o' the Turambar
Is Commentary still a thing? Do thinking people still read that?
At this point, it's definitely an obstruction case by Mueller. That's all he has. Andy McCarthy at National Review has reached that conclusion as well. The whole Russia narrative was bogus.
This is by far the best video to watch to get an idea of what this whole thing is above regarding the memo. It's about 30 minutes but it's well worth it:

I find it hilarious that the "law and order" Republican party is attacking the FBI and Justice department because they are investigating the Trump campaign.
According to press reports the memo is critical of a FISA warrant obtained for surveillance of Carter Page. Carter Page was a foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign although he resigned before the end of the campaign. They seem to claim that the FISA warrant was based purely on the Steele dossier which was a campaign document and therefore not a reliable source.
This argument is pretty thin. In 2013 a group of Russian spies was caught in the US. These Russian spies were secretly recorded before their arrest by the FBI discussing their attempt to compromise and recruit Carter Page as an information source. Carter Page was interviewed by the FBI. He denied knowing these Russians were spies and denied giving him anything more than public information. Carter Page was never arrested or charged in connection with this case, but it is reported that he was the subject of FISA surveillance starting in 2014. This surveillance was reported to have ended before he joined the Trump campaign.
After Carter Page joined the Trump campaign as a foreign policy adviser, Carter Page made trips to Russia. Carter Page claims these trips were for personal business reasons and not related to the campaign.
The FBI/CIA had good reason to suspect Carter Page, completely independently of the Steele dossier.
You're not keeping up with the Deep State narrative. This week the narrative is that the Russians duped the Clintons and FBI into thinking there was a there there, when in truth there was no there there in order to screw with us and foster chaos (which, btw, is what foreign agents are always doing, Russia or otherwise). And the FBI were just doing their jobs by looking into it unaware they were being played. Hah!
MikeCA you are so far out of the loop that you really need to stop posting, because you will only be embarrassing yourself.
I have been warning about what's about to happen for weeks. Better strap in for the wild ride.
If the FBI is acting illegally to protect Democrats and prosecute Republicans, why shouldn't Republicans attack them? Assuming that's what's happening.
A nice summary from one who has been on top of this since the start
20. All of this must take place in such a fashion as no-one would ever suspect it taking place. Yet you don't want to hide it, because that's ultimately the easiest way for the IC enemy to discover it.

For those with some time on their hands, and who want to know whats REALLY going on you would do well to read Theconservativetreehouse.com
Devin Nunes is a refusing to show the memo to the FBI or the Justice Department. He is even refusing to show the memo to the Republican Senate Intelligence committee chairman. He is refusing to show the memo to anyone with access to the underlying intelligence information it is based on. He will only show it people who have no idea what the actual facts are.
Wake up and smell the coffee. Use your brain for something other than holding your ears apart. Devin Nunes is a political hack.
Sorry Obama/Hillary, its too late – you're busted, along with your entire cabal.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Can you smell the fear?
If the memo is as bad as some people suspect, it makes no sense to show it to the DOJ or the FBI until necessary. The risk of document destruction is way too high. The lessons of the IRS under the Obama Administration have been learned. Delay and destroy documents, and there will be no consequences.
Stilicho
So the Hillary Clinton campaign paid for the Steele dossier so that they could keep it secret until after Trump won the election and then use it through the FBI to derail the Trump presidency?
If you believe that, I have a bridge in New York city you might be interested in buying. I'm selling it at a really low price.
Devin Nunes is a refusing to show the memo to the FBI or the Justice Department.
He doesn't have to because Congress, as a separate branch of government, technically owns the memo.
And anyway, everyone will be able to read it in a few days to see what it's contents are. There's no reason why either the FBI or DoJ can't wait a bit.

Getty Goh, one of the experts we featured in Secrets of Singapore Property Gurus, has kindly agreed to let us post the entire first chapter of his new book, Buy Right Property – Taking the R.I.G.H.T Approach to Property Investing in Singapore. I've read his book and found it very enlightening with a lot of data-driven analysis, different from many of the other property books out there. Highly recommended.
I started writing this book almost immediately after my first book, Buy Bye Property: Mistakes You Want to Avoid in Property Investing was published. I received much positive feedback for the first book and I am happy to know that many people, especially those looking for their first property, have found the book very useful. The first book was intentionally written to be an easy read as I wanted to reach out to as many people as possible and not just to aspiring property investors. Some readers felt that topics like market timing, finding good locations and determining the property's fair price could be addressed. This is what the second book is about. In the course of this book, I will focus on the nuts and bolts of property investing in Singapore, and address issues ranging from identifying the characteristics of the Singapore property market to finding value-for-money properties.
This book contains my observations of the property market over the past 7 years. Although the actual writing took only a few months, most of my time was spent on researching and understanding the Singapore property market. During the last few years, I was fortunate enough to witness the property recovery from 2005 to 2006, the property boom from 2007 to mid-2008, the property market crash from end-2008 to early-2009, and most recently the recovery of prices from 2009 to 2010. This gave me the opportunity to observe how property prices reacted during the different phases and how property investors behaved. As a result, I was able to validate my findings by investing in the market myself. In doing so, I was able to experience firsthand the mixed emotions of fear and greed that confronted property investors.
Property, unlike other forms of investments, is something that most of us will come into contact with. Based on Singapore's Department of Statistics, home ownership rate for 2008 was more than 90%, which means that 9 out of every 10 Singaporean or Singapore Permanent Resident (PR) households own the property that they stay in. Hence, it is beneficial to learn how to spot good property deals as most of us will buy a property at least once in our lifetimes.
However, there are many sources of property information available, such as the newspapers, magazines and the internet. With more than 1,000 registered property agencies and an even larger number of property agents touting their views on whether it is a good time to buy, hold or sell, it is understandable why everyone seems to have an opinion of how the property market is performing. Over time, some of these views become "conventional wisdom" that some individuals may rely on to make their buying or selling decisions. Alas, more often than not, such "conventional wisdom" does not accurately reflect how the property market behaves.
Allow me to give you an illustration. If I told you that a yearly property cycle exists and made you guess the months that have the highest and lowest property transactions, what will your answer be? Many people believe that January has the highest level of property transactions as most employees receive their year-end bonuses in December. With the bonus, they will likely have sufficient cash to pay for the property down-payment. Many people also believe that August, being the Lunar Seventh Month, has the lowest level of property transaction activity as it is generally perceived to be an inauspicious month to buy properties. Do you share such similar views?
From my research, I found that this was not the case. Figure 1-1 shows the distribution of monthly transaction volume for the sale of owner-occupied non-landed properties.
To derive the figures, transaction volume for the respective months over the last 14 years was added together. For example, the number of transactions done in all the Januarys for the last 14 years amounted to 5,090. From the distribution, we can see that "conventional wisdom" does not accurately reflect the realities of the Singapore property market, and January is typically a low activity month while August is one of the highest transaction months.
How did this analysis help me in my own property investment journey? Back in January 2007, I owned a one-bedroom unit near the central area and I wanted to sell it to profit from the recovering property market. In early 2007, the Singapore property market was showing signs of recovery and there were constant media reports on how prices around Marina Bay and parts of Orchard were setting new records, with some properties transacted for as high as $3,000 per square foot (psf). Since my property was in town and within walking distance to amenities like restaurants and pubs, I thought that I would have no problems selling it for $1,250psf. I even foolishly thought that potential buyers would see it as a good deal and start a bidding war over my unit. However several weeks passed and my agent told me that she was unable to find a buyer to match my asking price. The highest offer then was only $1,100psf. This puzzled me.
Wasn't the Singapore property market booming? Wasn't the media constantly carrying articles on how well the property market was doing? Weren't the property agents who were trying to sell my unit exhorting a property boom? If there was indeed a property boom, then why was I not able to sell my unit for the price I wanted? What could have been the reason behind the lack of buyers' interest? Was the property market about to turn as a result of the bursting United States housing bubble (the issues of Collateralised Debt Obligations and US Financial Crisis had not surfaced in early 2007) or was I asking too much for my property? Could there be other reasons that I was not aware of?
At some point, I was worried that I would not be able to sell my property and I seriously considered lowering my asking price. Fortunately, I decided to do a bit more research and having some stock investing experience, I was aware that a monthly trend existed for the stock market. For example, the trading volume for the United States stock market tends to be lower during the summer months of June and July as traders will be away on vacation, while trading towards the end of the year is generally more active due to window dressing by financial institutions. Window dressing is a strategy used by fund managers near the end of the year or quarter to improve the appearance of the fund performance by selling stocks with large losses and purchasing good performing stocks before reporting them as part of the fund's holdings. This made me wonder if there could be a trend for Singapore property as well. This was how I came up with the monthly distribution analysis for the Singapore property market. From the monthly volume analysis, I concluded that buying sentiments, represented by transaction volume, was generally low in the first few months of the year.
The findings assured me that the lack of buyers who were willing to meet my asking price was not necessarily due to changing market sentiments or to mis-pricing of my property. From my research, I also noticed that high transaction months generally lasted from April to August while low transaction months generally lasted from September to March the following year, thus a good point to lower my asking price would be from September onwards. If I could not sell my property during the high activity months, how likely was I able to sell it without lowering my asking price during the low activity months? In the end, I decided to hold on. As a result of that decision, I eventually sold my unit in May 2007 (one of the high volume months) at my asking price. This whole experience made me realise the importance of doing my own research before making any investment decision. Had I not done my due diligence, I would likely have succumbed to fear and greed, and sold my unit for much less. Now that you know such a trend exists, how does it affect your investment decision?
Using facts and figures, I intend to dispel some of the "conventional wisdom" surrounding the Singapore property market. I also hope to share a process to help buyers consistently find value-for-money properties. After all, buying a property is a hefty financial commitment, thus it is important for us to know what we are doing. If you recall, 1996 was one of the hottest years for the Singapore property market. It was just before the Asian Financial Crisis and the collapse of the Singapore property market. Of the properties that were purchased in 1996, more than 80% were sold for a loss, with the largest drop in value amounting to more than $1466psf. In other words, if the unit was 1,000 square feet in size, the total loss would have amounted to more than $1 million. This goes to show that the simple buy-and-hold strategy does not always work and properties are definitely not "sure-win" investments.
Through this book, I hope to help aspiring property investors and potential homeowners to better understand the Singapore property market. As the Singapore property market becomes more mature, it may not be enough to simply buy and hold and we will have to be more selective in order to maximise profits. Although I talk about finding good properties to buy, I would like to emphasise that this is not a get-rich-quick book. I personally believe that get-rich-quick schemes do not work as it takes time to master any discipline. What would you think if I told you that you could master swimming by simply reading a book (and without actually getting into the pool to swim)? By extension, it is not possible to master a complex subject like property investing by simply reading a book and not giving it an actual shot. Hence, I do not expect you to become an instant expert after reading this.
Instead, the purpose of this book is to help those unfamiliar with the topic to overcome this steep learning curve. I also intend to approach the topic of property investing in a more systematic manner. To do that, I will be sharing a proprietary selection process called the RIGHT approach. RIGHT is the acronym for Realities, Investment considerations, Goals, Hotspot and Target price, which are the 5 key considerations for any potential property buyer to think about before making a purchase. We will focus on the buying process and put less emphasis on the selling process as I believe that once you get the fundamentals right and buy value-for-money properties, it will not be very difficult to sell it for a good profit.
Understanding the Singapore property market is a continuous learning process as the property market is constantly evolving. Along the way, I have learnt that finding good property deals is dependent on both external and internal factors. External factors refer to things that are beyond our control such as market timing, location and price, while internal factors refer to things that stem from within us, such as risk appetite, investment horizon, investment objectives, emotions (e.g. fear of losing out, greed for more profit), etc.
I have come across buyers who focus excessively on one aspect at the expense of others. For example, some buyers are so adamant in making a quick profit that they end up taking unnecessary risks. While in theory, anyone with a sufficiently long investment horizon will almost certainly expect to make money from the real estate market, some let emotions cloud their judgment and they end up paying more than what the property is worth. They justify their action of paying excessively by mistakenly believing that if they wait long enough, prices will eventually go up. While that may be the case, have they accounted for the opportunity cost of the ownership? In other words, had they bought another property instead, they could have reaped the same returns in a much shorter time. To avoid such errors, you should take your time to weigh your options before proceeding. As the saying goes, "More haste, less speed", which brings me to my second takeaway.
I believe that there are plenty of investment opportunities available. Buyers are sometimes pressured into jumping on to the bandwagon from fear that they would lose out. During hot property launches, some buyers even go to the extent of passing blank checks to property agents in order to book any unit. In reality, I believe that there are plenty of opportunities available, you just need to look a little harder. Let me share a personal investment story with you to illustrate the case.
In March 2010, the Singapore property market was on the road to recovery. If you recall, the media then was filled with news on how hot the property market was and the asking prices of some properties had even exceeded the peak price set in 2008. I had just sold my unit at Robertson Quay for a profit of $400,000 and was looking to reinvest my money. However, I was a little concerned whether I would be able to find a good deal as prices were increasing rapidly. I took my time to explore different possibilities and check out various sectors of the property market. Eventually I managed to secure a conservation shop house which had an indicative bank valuation of $1 million for about half the price. Had I decided to flip this deal, I would have made a handsome profit within a short period of time.
Some people commented that I was lucky to come across this deal and it was not likely to be repeated. Although I agree that such deals are not easy to find, it was the belief that these opportunities existed that motivated me to search relentlessly. More importantly, had I not taken proactive steps to seek these opportunities out, I would definitely not have come across such a deal. My purpose of illustrating this is simply to reinforce my point that plenty of opportunities abound even in a hot market. With more than 150,000 private apartments and condominiums units in Singapore (and more being constructed), there is ample choice for property buyers.
If we were to look at past property booms, there were always some "hot" properties of the time. In the 1980s, developments around the Bayshore location were very popular. In the 1990s, properties located at Tanjong Rhu and landed properties were highly sought after. In the 2000s, Marina Bay was considered the "it" place for property investors. Hence you can be assured that you are not missing the boat if you currently do not own a swanky apartment in the Marina Bay area as property market cycles come and go. I am certain another hotspot will emerge in the coming years; the only question is where and when. However this time round, after reading this book, you will be ready for it!

The MXR Siete Santos Octavio Fuzz — translated from Spanish as "Seven Saints" — is the Reverend Billy F. Gibbons' secret sauce.
The mystery of his mojo. The magic behind his electrifying tone. At the heart of the Siete Santos is an Octavio Fuzz — the classic octave-up effect that Jimi Hendrix made famous. You also get a 7-band EQ for sculpting and refining your tone. The end result is a wild, fiery fuzz that's guaranteed to add some kick to your playing.
The Siete Santos Octavio Fuzz features an AC power jack and comes decked out in an eye-catching Pinstripe Billy design.
In 1968, Jimi Hendrix introduced Billy Gibbons to the Octavio Fuzz. Billy was completely enamored by the Octavio's searing, sizzling magic, and he's used it ever since. That said, he likes to pair it with a 7-band EQ to mold and polish his tone. The Siete Santos Octavio Fuzz integrates an Octavio Fuzz circuit and a 7-band EQ, effectively packing Billy's setup into a single cheese wedge-shaped pedal. The EQ enables ±18dB of cut or boost from 100Hz to 6.4kHz, while the Octavio Fuzz's Level and Fuzz knobs let you dial in your desired amount of grind.

Those Marvel Phase Four leaks are probably fake, and here's why
By	Chris Gates	— Posted on	June 14, 2019 2:14PM PST 06.14.19 - 2:14PM PST
The third phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe reached its climax in Avengers: Endgame and concludes with this summer's Spider-Man: Far From Home, leading many fans to wonder what's next. Now, a new round of rumors from a "Marvel insider" purportedly reveal all of Marvel's secret Phase Four plans, but there's a catch: They're probably not true.
On May 27, a YouTube channel called The Cosmic Wonder posted a seven-minute video that allegedly spilled the beans on a number of upcoming Marvel projects, including further details on some previously announced films and television shows. Much of this information was credited to Roger Wardell, a mysterious Twitter user who correctly reported (or predicted) a number of Endgame's major plot points and cameos. The rumors were picked up by the press last week, and seem to be making the rounds again (on the off-chance that some of this information is accurate, be wary of potential spoilers).
The so-called "leaks" are filled with tantalizing teases about the future of the MCU, including the appearance of the actual Mandarin in Shang-Chi, the big-screen debut of Thor ally Beta Ray Bill, and a new Black Widow played by Florence Pugh. Norman Osborne, aka the Green Goblin, is poised to be the MCU's new big bad, the rumors say, while the Falcon and Winter Soldier series on Disney Plus will end with Sam Wilson becoming the new Captain America.
Here's the thing: Not only has Wardell been wrong before, but there's no evidence that the new intel actually comes from him. There's nothing about these stories on Wardell's Twitter feed, where he typically shares his info. When the rumors began to pick up steam, Wardell responded by tweeting that "These journalists really need to stop putting words in my mouth."
The most likely source of these rumors seems to be 4chan post that was recirculated on Reddit. Neither of those are reliable sources, and it's hard to judge the original 4chan message on its own merits. It's already been deleted.
Not that all of the information in these reports is false, of course. The list of rumors contains some previously confirmed details, like Spider-Man: Far From Home's Mysterio being an interdimensional traveler. Others are easy leaps to make, especially for anyone with a solid grasp of Marvel Comics continuity.
We know that Game of Thrones star Richard Madden is in talks to appear in The Eternals, for example. If he ends up being cast as lead character Ikaris, it wouldn't be a surprise. Similarly, Adam Strange was teased at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. If he plays a major role in Vol. 3, that only makes sense.
In other words, many of these rumors are very plausible. If they come true, however, it doesn't mean that anything "leaked." It just means that someone on the internet is good at connecting the dots and guessing.

Q: Rolling Sum using two columns in Power BI I've two columns containing sales from last year and this year and a data column with the number of weeks we are in. I want to calculate a yearly rolling sum in a new column from the week we are in back in the past till that same week.
In my example if i'm in week 2 this year my rolling sum will be sum all the values of sales last year from week 2 til week 52 plus sales from this year until week 2 including!!
Here's an example in excel of what my table and results would look like:

A: Assuming your data look like this
Table
+------+----------+-------+
| week | sales_ly | sales |
+------+----------+-------+
| 1    | 65       | 100   |
+------+----------+-------+
| 2    | 93       | 130   |
+------+----------+-------+
| 3    | 83       | 134   |
+------+----------+-------+
| 4    | 3083     | 59    |
+------+----------+-------+
| 5    | 30984    | 39    |
+------+----------+-------+
| 6    | 38       | 580   |
+------+----------+-------+
| 7    | 28       | 94    |
+------+----------+-------+
| 8    | 48       | 93    |
+------+----------+-------+
| 9    | 24       | 984   |
+------+----------+-------+
| 10   | 49       | 95    |
+------+----------+-------+

You need to create two cumulatives and sum them in the same measure.
Rolling Sum =

VAR CurrentYearCumulative =
    CALCULATE(
        SUM('Table'[sales]),
        FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[week] <= MAX('Table'[week] ) )
        )

VAR LastYearCumulative =
    CALCULATE(
        SUM('Table'[sales_ly]),
        FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[week] >= MAX('Table'[week]) )
        )

RETURN

CurrentYearCumulative + LastYearCumulative

The output

City Guide // Fresno
Patrick James' definitive guide to our hometown.
Fresno, California is a hardworking town of entrepreneurs, farmers, and a recent resurgence of creatives. A large city with a small-town feel, this place is known for its fantastic food, friendly people, and proximity to all of California's sought-after spots (Yosemite is in our backyard, after all).
Not only is this spot a great place to live and visit, it's also where the Patrick James story began. Pat Mon Pere, our patriarch and founder, opened the doors of the first Patrick James store here in 1962. Needless to say, we've had a few years to get to know Fresno's best places to shop, dine, and stay while you're here.
Read on for Patrick James' definitive guide to our hometown.
The DoubleTree by Hilton
If you're looking to stay in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Fresno, the DoubleTree is the perfect spot. Located in Downtown Fresno on Ventura St., guests have ideal access to the city's creative hub, local restaurants, and more.
Some Tower House
This bohemian Airbnb is nestled in the historic Tower District, a stone's throw from multiple theaters, restaurants, and buzzing nightlife. An eclectic 1914 craftsmen originally built for Dr. George & Jessica Hare, visitors can enjoy a vintage experience, with up to seven guests.
Currently being built, this highly anticipated project is set to be one of Fresno's favorite hotels. Located in the busy Northeast corner of town, guests are surrounded by shopping and close to the idyllic Woodward Park.
Casual Fare
If you're looking for a quick bite that packs a punch of flavor, the newly opened farm-to-table focused Heirloom Eats is your answer. While you're there, check out their cocktails, specially crafted with house-made liquor infusions. If you're craving BBQ, head over to Westwood's to get your fix with their signature tri-tip sandwich and original sauces.
Fresno's answer to fine dining, Cracked Pepper is a local favorite that serves up steaks, classic sides, and even escargot. We highly recommend indulging in the famous bread pudding for dessert.
The Elbow Room and The Lime Light are both a stone's throw from our Patrick James store in Fig Garden Village, and we couldn't be happier. They both offer some incredible eats (the Elbow steak sandwich is a Fresno staple), with bar and patio scenes that are simply the place to be after hours.
Italian Essentials
The Tower District's Veni Vidi Vici serves Rustic European dishes, sourcing produce and meat right out of the Central Valley. It's a great spot for a bite before a show. Our other Italian go-to is The Annex Kitchen, led by Chef Jimmy Pardini, who studied under Los Angeles mainstay Nancy Silverton. Handmade pastas including the Food Network-revered Corn Agnolotti are must-haves, while the modern look and feel of the space can't be beat.
Patrick James
We may be biased, but we are proud to serve this community with premium men's fashion from our store in Fig Garden Village. Your favorite brands and tuxedo rentals, paired with our team's hands-on service, Patrick James provides the ultimate shopping experience.
Vonda's
Situated on the northern end of town, Vonda's has been selling Fresno locals their wedding china and more for decades. Offering multiple lines of entertaining essentials and holiday items, this store is Central California's answer to high-end gift giving.
Woodward Park
Woodwark Park serves as a daily piece of nature's beauty in the city of Fresno. Beyond its gates you'll find walking and biking trails, the Shinzen Friendship Garden, the Healing Garden by Art of Life, and space for children and pets - not to mention an outdoor amphitheater that is home to $5 Country Concerts throughout the summer.
Save Mart Center
The hub for most of Fresno's big-ticket events, the Save Mart Center on Shaw Ave hosts everything from Fresno State basketball games to big-name concerts. Don't forget to stop by Dog House across the street for a beer before your show.
Madera Wine Trail
The Madera Wine Trail is the perfect way to spend your weekend (outside of the golf course). With the Central Valley's rich history in agriculture and prime location for grape growers, it's no surprise that it boasts a great glass of cab.
River Park Shopping Center
River Park is another prime location for hustle and bustle in Fresno. Visit this outdoor shopping center for some familiar restaurants such as Ruth's Chris and Yard House, along with a mix of national stores.
Downtown Fresno Tower District
Nestled between McKinley and Olive streets is Fresno's creative hub, the Tower District. Here you'll find vintage stores, specialty coffee shops, and vibrant nightlife, with live music and dancing every weekend.

Why Old and Rare
Whisky Show: Old and Rare 2017
Some of the world's greatest whisky collectors, enthusiasts, whisky bars, auction houses and independent bottlers, all in one place.
Our 2020 show welcomed familiar faces as well as some exciting new collectors. Click on a logo below to find out more!
Dram List
Show Bottling
Bihan Yang
After establishing his own bar in Beijing where he regularly hosts rare whisky tastings with his own club, Bihan has continued to expand his collection and knowledge of old and rare whiskies.
With special attention paid to his favourite distillery: Dalmore. Passionate about whisky from a young age, Bihan is one of a new emerging generation of collectors and enthusiasts who look to the lessons and inspirations of older style whiskies to inform his ideas about Scotch Whisky's future. This is Bihan's first show in the UK as an exhibitor and he'll be showcasing some truly stunning rarities.
C. Dully Selection
The company was founded in direct response to the changing nature of the whisky world, with the aim of sourcing and bottling exceptional casks of whisky and other spirits that appeal to the whisky lover's palate.
Everything the company bottles is selected based on Christian, Rachael, and Pascal's preferred styles of spirit, and is chosen primarily for the palate of the whisky drinker, i.e. bourbon bottled for someone who primarily drinks single malt, rather than bourbon for someone who primarily drinks bourbon.
Christian and Pascal have been hosting tastings of Old and Rare whiskies in Zurich since 2016, with guests flying in from as far away as the United States in order to attend.
The Line-Up will contain bottles from Christian and Pascal's personal collections as well as bottlings that they have chosen together for C. Dully Selection.
Catawiki Auctions
Started in 2008 as a website for storing catalogues of collections in wiki form, Catawiki has since grown to be a multi-headed auction site, offering its services to specialist collectors in a whole range of different areas.
While the company serves many interests, its whisky auctions are among the most successful in Europe. With a range of well-known whisky experts administering the auctions – including wine and whisky lead Jeroen Koetsier, who will be at the Old & Rare show – the company's lots cover the whole gamut of whisky, from recent, limited releases to incredibly old and hard to find bottles.
Catawiki will be at the show to talk about auctioning whisky and pour some great drams from times gone by.
David Stirk
For nearly 20 years, David Stirk has been talking, writing, travelling, making, selling, bottling and drinking all things whisky.
David started his whisky career writing for Whisky Magazine and running global sales for indie bottler Wm Cadenhead. But in 2005, David set out on his own and founded the Creative Whisky Company. For 13 years he bottled an award-winning range of whiskies, as well as a some gin, and helped build the new wave of indie bottlers in Scotland.
If you ask him really nicely, he might even sign a copy of his book about Campbeltown for you.
An actual castle, Dornoch Castle Hotel dominates the centre of the eponymous highland town. While Dornoch may be better known for its golf course, the hotel has become a destination for lovers of old and rare whisky.
The bar specialises in old and hard to find whiskies, offering a wide range from the more commonplace to some of the rarest drams of the past century. Obsessively curated by whisky experts Phil and Simon Thompson – who have also opened a distillery on site – the bar constantly has new bottlings to offer, and we are very pleased to welcome Dornoch Castle to the Old & Rare show as exhibitors.
Elixir Distillers core brands are Port Askaig, Elements of Islay, Single Malts of Scotland and Black Tot.
Port Askaig is a range of Islay single malt whiskies that embodies the unique spirit of Islay and its people. There is no distillery in the town of Port Askaig, which gives them the opportunity to select the finest casks from distilleries around Islay and enables you to make your own journey of discovery. Port Askaig whiskies are always elegant and characterful, and epitomise the essence of Islay.
Elements of Islay is a range of iconic, small-batch, independently bottled whiskies. The range celebrates the diversity of whiskies that make Islay special, with a focus on the medicinal, smoky, elemental character of the island's whiskies. To maintain their personality, they are not chill-filtered and no colouring is added.
Seeking out the finest single casks of Scotch whisky has always been at the heart of the team's philosophy. Since 2005, these have been released as The Single Malts of Scotland, a range of superb vintage single malt Scotch whiskies selected for their individual quality and character.
Fiddler's Loch Ness
Fiddler's is a bar, restaurant, cafe and hotel, situated in the centre of Drumnadrochit on the banks of Loch Ness, all enthusiastically run by Jon Beach and his family.
Jon is a long standing collector of Port Ellen and all round enthusiast for old style whiskies. The range of whiskies at Fiddler's shows this enthusiasm, with modern whiskies from around the world sat alongside older and rarer bottlings. He has also been jointly responsible for some of the most remarkable rare whisky events in Scotland in recent years, helping to organise legendary trips with some of the world's best-known collectors.
We're delighted to welcome him to the show. He'll be bringing a fine and varied selection of drams from his own collection, so be sure to stop by his stand.
Geert Bero
Geert has been passionate about whisky for nearly twenty years, and his family owns and runs the Hotel Bero in Ostende, Belgium. As you would expect, the hotel has a well-stocked whisky bar.
Geert is also a member of longstanding Belgian whisky club The Lindores Whisky Society, who endeavour to unearth rare and incredible whiskies. He will be bringing a selection of delicious drams from his collection to pour at the show.
Golden Promise Whisky Bar
In a snug and cosy atmosphere conducive to tasting, this hidden venue offers two separate rooms. The first is dedicated to whisky cocktails, while the second is reserved for tasting rare whiskies. There are more than 1,000 bottles on offer, most of which are practically unobtainable.
There are the single malts of course, with an amazing collection of Scotch and old Japanese whiskies, but also old pure malts and blended whiskies. Each, in its own way, demonstrates the savoir-faire of bygone times.
On 24 May 1895, a new grocers shop opened on South Street in Elgin. One of the first new employees was John Urquhart, a 15-year-old who was serving his apprenticeship under owners James Gordon and Alexander MacPhail. When MacPhail retired in 1915, Urquhart became a partner and then sole partner when Gordon passed away two weeks later. Since then, his family has run the company.
With the fourth generation now in charge, Gordon & MacPhail continues to grow. While the grocers is still on South Street, it is the company's whisky business that is its focus. Along with an award-winning and widely respected range of single cask bottlings, G&M also owns Benromach distillery and produces a wide range of single malt expressions.
With such a long history behind it, G&M has some of the most impressive archives in the whisky business. With almost 100 years of bottlings available to them, we look forward to seeing what they will bring along to the Old & Rare show.
Hideo Yamaoka
Hideo Yamaoka not only has an apartment in Tokyo for his stellar whisky collection, he also has one of the most impressive palates.
Hideo is able to identify whiskies blind with a success rate that has earned him The Spirit of Speyside's Best Nose award and he's won the Feis Ile nosing competition on numerous occasions.
Established in St. James's, London in 1749, Justerini & Brooks began looking after their first private customers in India in 1858, New York in 1866, Hong Kong in 1976 and Singapore in 1982. Justerini & Brooks now exports to customers in forty-nine countries around the world.
Justerini & Brooks' relationship with whisky stretches back through the generations. In the late 19th century, just as the devastating effects of Phylloxera were causing wine and brandy shortages in Europe, Justerinis started pioneering a new breed of blended whisky, J&B Rare. This eponymous brand remains an institution in bars, clubs, restaurants and drinks cabinets around the globe.
More recently, they have used their unique access to 29 of Scotland's most revered distilleries, including: Port Ellen, Brora, Talisker and Lagavulin, to supply customers with "one-off" casks. Whether you would like to build the ultimate collection, source unique bottles, locate limited edition trophy malts, or buy or sell Cask of Distinction bottlings through their broking team, Justerini & Brooks offers an unrivalled service to the whisky connoisseur.
Magnus Fagerström
Though his collection started with BenRiach, Magnus decided to diversify when, in 2012 he had completed his collection and owned every distillery bottling ever produced! Magnus is known in Sweden for arranging legendary tastings, perhaps most notably the "100 BenRiach Tasting" in 2014; 100 different BenRiach bottles were opened and sampled over 2 days; among them 94 single casks!
Founded more than four decades ago, Skinner is an auctioneer with a wide remit, selling everything from furniture and art to whisky and fine spirits. The company runs more than 60 auctions a year, with whisky sales curated by Joseph Hyman.
Joseph is an experienced auctioneer and fine spirits specialist, with more than 15 years of experience working at auction houses in the field. He will be bringing a range of old and rare bottlings seldom seen at whisky shows, gathered during his work as a rare spirits specialist.
The Auld Alliance
The Auld Alliance opened in 2010, and is part of an ongoing new frontier of old and rare whisky in Singapore and wider Asian market in general.
Founded by Emmanuel Dron, the bar offers guests the opportunity to taste some of the rarest and most sought after whiskies on the planet, as well as the chance to buy bottles. Emmanuel is an avid collector himself and has managed to accumulate some remarkable whiskies through his connections with collectors and old bottle specialists.
The Auld Alliance will be presenting some of its impressive stocks outside the bar, and the bottles Emmanuel has decided to bring are nothing short of excellent. Please note that the below list is subject to change.
The company is run by brothers, Sukhinder and Rajbir, and the two started out as collectors before founding the company.
Their passion for collecting whisky is clearly evident in the range of whiskies and spirits that they offer online. There is an ever-changing range of over 2000 old and rare whiskies on the website, and they have picked out a special selection from their own collection to present at the show.
The Whisky Show Stand
Show organisers Jonny McMillan and Angus MacRaild have long been passionate about old-style whiskies, and for the show stand they'll be offering some of their favourite bottles from their personal collections.
They're bringing everything from modern day rarities to exquisite drams hailing all the way from the early 20th century. We'll be revealing some of the whiskies soon, but there'll be few surprises that you'll just have to attend the show to discover and taste.
Tomislav Ruszkowski
Think of Croatia and you'll more likely bring to mind wine and truffles before old style Scotch Whisky. However, Tomislav Ruszkowski - 'Tom' to his friends - has been an influential collector, enthusiast and educator on the subject in his home town of Zagreb for some years now.
After first getting bitten by the whisky bug on a trip to Scotland in the early 2000s, Tom has slowly built a beautiful and intricate selection of bottles. Regularly hosting tastings with importers and his local whisky club, he's a passionate ambassador for Scotch Whisky of all types and eras. However, in his first appearance as an exhibitor outside Croatia, he'll be showcasing many beautiful hidden gem, old and rare bottlings from his stash.

Whisky Auctioneer utilise their expertise and knowledge combined with their online auction platform to increase interest and passion in whisky and spirits, making the market more accessible for buyers and sellers of any background and geography.
Iain McClune and his team have selected some wonderful whiskies for the Old & Rare show to represent the quality and diversity available within their regular monthly auctions. This includes a 1965 Clynelish The Gillies Club Single Cask, a ludicrously rare exclusive bottling which has hardly been seen or tasted outwith The Gillies Club itself.
Founded in March 2015, Whisky.Auction has quickly made a name for itself as one of the best places to buy and sell hard-to-find bottles.
The Whisky.Auction team will be at the show and available to discuss buying and selling whisky at auction.

The idea behind the selection of whiskies Harrison puts together for the Old & Rare Show is to open bottles that are not ready available anywhere else in the World; and often includes examples never sampled by the even the most diehard of aficionado.
Whisky-Online opened its auction website in 2012 and since then has grown to be one of the leading online whisky auctioneers in the world, bringing a remarkable range of old, rare & obscure whiskies to the market. We're delighted to welcome the company to the Whisky Show Old & Rare and look forward to the rare treats that will be on display from their archives.

As the earth is constantly moving due to temperature, earthquakes, floods and climate change, people are realizing there is less damage to equipment and the environment using self-contained aboveground fuel stations attached to a structural base.
As shown in the photos, many different U-Fuel stations have been designed and installed in all types of areas and applications. Aboveground fuel stations range from the very simple single fuel tank to the multiple-tank facilities with offices, bathrooms, air-conditioning and generators.
A major benefit of an aboveground fuel station is the ability to install it in a short period of time, in any climate, and in areas where conventional fuel stations will not work. U-Fuel aboveground fuel stations may also be removed and relocated in a short period of time, if needed.
A popular design is the patented U-Fuel Box Station, consisting of a traditional Fire Resistant fuel system enclosed in a Fire Resistant structure with bulkheads separating dispensing from fuel filling and storage. This provides additional fire protection in high density areas and gives a unique external appearance. The Box Station also provides an added level of security from theft and vandalism and can be designed to reflect the owner's image.
U-Fuel also specializes in providing multiple fuel tanks with high speed transfer pumps for mining operations. Many U-Fuel Mining Stations are designed and constructed to be automated, self-powered, with high speed fuel systems for strip mining. Mining Stations can also be designed to provide fuel deep underground with special features to dissipate high head pressure at point of use. U-Fuel has provided quality fuel stations for BHP, Penoles, and other mineral companies.

Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came
Thus, I had so long suffered in this quest,
Heard failure prophesied so oft, been writ
So many times among "The Band''---to wit,
The knights who to the Dark Tower's search addressed
Their steps---that just to fail as they, seemed best,
And all the doubt was now---should I be fit?
And with these pessimistic thoughts, the narrator--Childe Roland--sets out on a byway to find the infamous Dark Tower, from which none of his friends ever returned.
This is a very odd poem, to my mind. Robert Browning quotes a phrase from King Lear and uses it as both the title and the centerpiece, but in the most literal sense--bringing the hero no farther than the Dark Tower. The imagery is gothic and gory..."Drenched willows flung them headlong in a fit / Of mute despair, a suicidal throng / The river which had done them all the wrong"....."As for the grass, it grew as scant as hair / In leprosy; thin dry blades pricked the mud / Which underneath looked kneaded up with blood". Unlike Poe's wallowing morbidity, Browning's doom and gloom has a sharper tinge to it--the terror is not buried, but quite alive in the narrator's mind.
I liked the poem, but not so much as to put it among my favorites. Roland's dreary, almost fatalistic outlook is difficult to relate to. He never once seemed to have any hope of survival; he appears to run headlong into danger just for the sake of it. The other thing I disliked was the brevity of the poem. It stops just when it's getting good; and it adds to the impression that Roland meets his end, just like all the other knights did.
Is there a message in it? The note to my editions says:
"Childe Roland" symbolizes the conquest of despair by fealty to the ideal. Browning emphatically disclaimed any precise allegorical intention in this poem. He acknowledged only an ideal purport in which the significance of the whole, as suggesting a vision of life and the saving power of constancy, had its due place.
Others' interpretations can be found at Wikipedia. I prefer the one above, though it didn't present itself as the message, in the poem itself.
Overall rating: 4 out of 5 stars.
4 stars Browning poetry
Nathaniel Hawthorne / Secret Sharer / Hunted Down
