Untitled #7, 2000. From the series "What Remains."
Corcoran Gallery of Art
June 12–September 7, 2004
Curated by Philip Brookman
In her often haunting photographic series "What Remains," Sally Mann conflates the Romantic appreciation of disintegration's inherent beauty, the photograph's compulsive preservation of the past, and a southern narrative that evokes both. Through her eyes, the landscape becomes an unrelenting burial site that composts considerable psychic weight. Organized by senior curator of photography and media arts Philip Brookman and accompanied by a substantial monograph, this exhibition features more than ninety gestural and glossy wet-collodion prints that reward the viewer with their depth and resonance. Of particular interest is a group of close-up portraits that transforms the Mann children into shrouds. What remains is a tradition of loss.

Curated by Elisabeth Hutton Turner and Oliver Wick
Two of the twentieth century's great lyrical poets of form in space, American Alexander Calder and Spaniard Joan Miró shared more than aesthetic sensibility—they also had a friendship spanning some fifty years. Though each would follow his own highly distinctive path—for Calder, groundbreaking sculptural ideas expressed through signature mobiles and stabiles; for Miró, elegantly idiosyncratic, often whimsical paintings and murals—the years following their first meeting, in 1928, saw the pair engage with many of the same formal and theoretical issues. This show features nearly 130 works, including their 1947 collaboration for Cincinnati's Terrace Plaza Hotel.

Curated by Mason Klein
Even if he hadn't lived the quintessential vie bohème—partaking of torrid affairs, carousing with fellow avant-gardists, succumbing to tuberculosis at thirty-five—Amedeo Modigliani would be well remembered for his instantly recognizable portraits of the stylishly gaunt. New Yorkers haven't seen his work en masse since MoMa's 1951 retrospective, so this exhibition of more than one hundred paintings, sculptures, and drawings offers an exceptional chance to take measure "beyond the myth." A forthcoming indie biopic, a lusty tale of "true genius, like van Gogh and Mozart" starring Andy Garcia, should give the demythologization effort some healthy competition.

It's too late. Westworld isn't on HBO Max anymore. That's either bad or indifferent news, depending on how you feel about that season 4 finale.
So what can you watch following the HBO Max cost-cutting TV show and movie cull of 2022? Thankfully, there are still a few decent options. The only one you absolutely need to watch is Station Eleven. If you gave up after the first couple of episodes, no excuses. Try it again.
Here are the best sci-fi TV shows on HBO Max as of Jan. 28.

GARCIA! (2022)
This action-adventure out of Spain is big, silly fun. The titular Garcia (Francisco Ortiz) is a classic endearing action hero with the twist that he was reanimated from a cryogenic frozen sleep. Originally from the '60s, Garcia must navigate modern-day Madrid -- where oat milk coffees are also a thing -- amid engaging in all the espionage antics.

Person of Interest (2011-2016)
This sci-fi crime drama, created by Jonathan Nolan, has carved its place into the best sci-fi TV shows of all time plaque. The series centers on a piece of Precog-esque technology used by the government to predict terrorist attacks. The machine can also warn of smaller, yet still deadly crimes, and a splinter team of underground investigators set out to help related persons of interest. Dealing with tricky questions such as the concept of "the greater good," Person of Interest is a fascinating, spectacular and complete espionage procedural.
Babylon 5 (1993-1998)
An influential legacy show, Babylon 5 might have dated edges nowadays, but it would be blasphemy to overlook it on this list. The basic premise sees a group of humans and alien species working together on the Babylon 5 space station as Earth carves its place in the galactic community. Political intrigue, character studies and the threat of war ensue.

Does The Last of Us count as a sci-fi show? Why not. It's that good; you should be watching it regardless. Pedro Pascal stars as Joel, a man navigating horrendous loss amid a zombie apocalypse. A scene-stealing Bella Ramsey stars as hilariously foul-mouthed teen Ellie, who might have the key to survival. Trust HBO to make this faithful-where-necessary video game adaptation the best ever.
Pushing Daisies (2007-2009)
This gem of a comedy-drama wisely taps the charms of Lee Pace, who stars as Ned, an oddball pie-maker with the ability to bring the dead back to life. This Tim Burton-esque show sees Ned use his abilities to help solve sometimes grotesque murders without sacrificing fairy tale eccentricity. A unique, critically acclaimed series that deserves a rewatch.
TNT/YouTube/CNET Screenshot
Falling Skies (2011-2015)
Boasting executive producer Steven Spielberg, this post-apocalyptic sci-fi brings family drama to alien invasions. Falling Skies centers on a band of survivors who plan to fight back after a global invasion by extraterrestrials. Five seasons introduce multiple alien races, space travel and a satisfying final standoff.
Years and Years (2019)
If you were blown away by Russell T. Davies' It's a Sin, Years and Years is a must-watch. The ambitious sci-fi series spans 15 years, jumping ahead each episode to capture the ups and downs of the eclectic Lyons family. From technological developments to jaw-dropping life upheavals, the Lyons go through the ringer without ever relinquishing a heartwarming sense of humor.

Station Eleven (2021)
Believe any hype you hear about Station Eleven. One of the best shows of 2021, the meditative dystopian thriller (the latter descriptor can only be applied to certain episodes) is prestige TV that whisks you off on a journey to surprising, moving and unique destinations. Following two timelines, the focus is mainly on brilliant heroine Kirsten (Mackenzie Davis), a woman who survived a world-destroying pandemic and now travels around the remains with a theater troupe known as the Traveling Symphony. Created by Patrick Somerville, whose writing work on The Leftovers can be felt here, Station Eleven casts an optimistic lens over the end of the world.
Torchwood/YouTube screenshot
Torchwood (2006-2011)
This Doctor Who spinoff series from Russell T Davies centered on Captain Jack Harkness and his team of alien hunters. While it may not have fully achieved its goal of becoming the "adult" Doctor Who, it did find its footing with its later shorter story arcs. Season 3, known as Children of Earth, in particular produced genuine compelling sci-fi drama. If anything, give those five episodes a watch.
Peacemaker (2021—)
While it's 90% a superhero show, Peacemaker features visitors from another planet, so it lands itself a spot on this list. The Suicide Squad spinoff series centers on the titular Peacemaker, an outrageous John Cena who explores where his catchphrase -- "I cherish peace with all of my heart. I don't care how many men, women and children I kill to get it" -- came from. Sweary, bloody and bouncing to a rocking soundtrack, the James Gunn-written series is a rollicking time with surprising heart.
The Leftovers (2014-2017)
Maybe it's considered more supernatural than sci-fi, and it's definitely nowhere near hard sci-fi, but come on. It's The Leftovers. It's Damon Lindelof, the genius who turned Watchmen into a lauded TV show. The Leftovers follows what happens after 2% of the world's population inexplicably disappears. Amid the emergence of a number of cults, the three seasons focus on two families, the Garveys and the Murphys, and how the "Sudden Departure" event upends their lives.

At this stage, new fans might be hard to come by when it comes to this long-running British show. But if you're interested in dipping into the wildly inventive, genre-bending, barnstorming adventure, try the later Jodie Whittaker episodes. Whittaker steps into the Doctor's shoes, a time-traveling, space-faring alien adventurer with a kind heart and a far-out-of-this-world sense of humor. Serious fun.
Fringe (2008-2013)
Five seasons of this sci-fi procedural await you. Dive into parallel universes and alternate timelines with the Fringe Division, a team of agents tasked with investigating unexplained phenomena. After a middling first season, Fringe found its way, bringing inventive ideas and a moving emotional core along for the ride.

His Dark Materials (2019-2022)
This TV adaptation of His Dark Materials is the second attempt at bringing Philip Pullman's classic fantasy novels to the screen. (The 2007 flop The Golden Compass, starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig, was anchored to a slow, shallow script.) Set in a world where people's souls manifest as animal familiars, the source material isn't exactly simple. Chuck in parallel universes, talking polar bears and a wildly imaginative story about growing up, and you have a thrilling, philosophical adventure. Ruth Wilson, James McAvoy and Dafne Keen bolster this slicker, more mature attempt. Season 3 premieres on HBO Max Dec. 5.

Ink and Wash / Sumi-e Artworks and Masters – Ma Yuan (馬遠/ Ma Yüan)
A Short Biography of Ma Yuan (馬遠/ Ma Yüan)
When Ma Yuan was born in Qiantang (today's Hangzhou in the Zhejiang province) around the middle of the 12th century, he could look back on a long family history. His great-grandfather, grandfather and father all had served as painters in attendance to the Song emperors, and he himself, as well as his own son Ma Lin, would pursue this tradition.
There were two factors that probably influenced Ma Yuan's development of his own painting style – firstly, the traditions of Academy painting and the methods which his ancestors had used, and secondly, the works of Li Tang with his new perspective towards landscape painting. Together with fellow Academy painter Xia Gui, he created a style that would later be known as the "Ma-Xia-School".
Ma Yuan's work was admired during his lifetime but rather forgotten after his death, until it was revived in the Ming Dynasty by painters of the Zhe school. But not only Chinese painters were influenced by his works – Japanese masters, such as Sesshū Tōyō or Tenshō Shūbun, clearly quoted his painting methods.
The Paintings of Ma Yuan (馬遠/ Ma Yüan)
The affinity to painting in smaller formats and depiction of intimate landscapes (as opposed to monumental sceneries) was a common trend in the Southern Song Dynasty, but Ma Yuan added his own sense of aesthetics into the picture by creating daring compositions. By pushing most of the parts in the picture to one corner – the so called "one corner composition", he created wide spaces and tension between elements.
Ma Yuan's brushwork is clear and exact. He painted mountains with clean strokes, supplied them with meticulously placed dots for accentuation, and used broader strokes in lighter shades for depicting structures and textures. Ma Yuan was famous for the "axe cut strokes" (斧劈皴), the painting technique he used for depicting the surface of mountains. By holding the brush in a crooked angle, he moved it on the surface as if hitting it with an axe, which causing a frayed, broad ink line.
Another prominent feature of Ma Yuan's painting style is the clear definition of ink shades. Ma worked with all kind of tonalities and with washes, but the various shades are clearly defined, the outlines are precise and not blurred. Ma Yuan's works, mainly his landscape paintings, are on the one hand typical works of the Southern Song Dynasty, but then again possess originality and a fresh approach to this traditional genre.

Ancient Passover Teaching Fulfilled in Jerusalem Bus Bomb Survival Miracle
by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz | Apr 19, 2016 | Jerusalem
Firefighters and rescue personnel at the scene of a bus bombing, in Jerusalem, on April 18, 2016. (Yonatan Sindel/Flash90)
On Monday evening, a bomb went off in a crowded bus in Jerusalem, showering passengers trapped inside with deadly shrapnel and setting it ablaze. In what can only be described as a miracle, no one was killed.
It is thought that a terrorist in the back of the bus set the bomb off. When firemen and rescue personnel arrived, the bus and another nearby empty bus were engulfed in flames, a pillar of smoke visible from far off. Over 20 people were injured, seven moderately, two seriously. Five of the injured suffered from sever shell-shock, traumatized by the horror that surrounded them.
Before It's News wrote that it was "a miracle there are no dead". Many in the Hebrew language media echoed the sentiment. Eliyahu Eliovitch, one of the first volunteer medics to arrive at the scene, told the news site Kikar Shabbat, "Thank God, the people of ZAKA (who deal with dead bodies) arrived and had nothing to do. It is with God's mercy that no one was killed."
Expressing what several other first responders said in the media, he added, "It is only by a miracle that no one was killed in such a difficult attack. This could have ended in a much worse catastrophe, God forbid."
Israel is all too familiar with the deadly effects of bus bombings. From 1993 until 2008, Israel was struck by no less than 150 bomb attacks that targeted civilians. Over 800 people were killed in these attacks. Almost 30 of those bombs exploded on buses. Of those, a mere two were without fatalities.
The likelihood that a bomb exploding in a bus crowded with commuters and school children would claim no lives was low indeed. According to the statistics alone, the passengers of bus number 12 in Jerusalem were incredibly lucky.
Police initially refrained from labeling it a terror incident, at first blaming a mechanical failure in the bus. However, after several hours of confused reports, Jerusalem police chief Yoram Halevy officially confirmed what seemed obvious to many.
"When a bomb explodes on a bus, it is a terror attack," Halevy said. He added that it was still unclear if the terrorist was on the scene at the time of the explosion. It is suspected that a critically injured person was the terrorist, though his identity is still unconfirmed.
Halevy also said the police were not caught totally off-guard, implying previous intelligence information, but he refused to elaborate.
This was the first bombing in eight years and the first bus bombing in almost twelve. It may be a sign the Palestinians intend to escalate their efforts to attack Israelis just as the country is breathing a sigh of relief after what seemed to be an easing off of terror.
Hamas did not claim responsibility for the attack but praised it anyway. Mosques in Gaza proudly announced the news over their prayer loudspeakers. A spokesman for Hamas in Qatar, Husam Badran, said, "This attack affirms to everyone one that our people will not abandon the resistance path."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to retaliate for the vicious attack. "We will locate those who prepared this explosive device. We will reach the dispatchers. We will also reach those behind them. We will settle the score with these terrorists."
Rabbi Aryeh Shtern, the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, spoke to Kikar Shabbat about the pre-Pesach attack.
"It pains the heart to hear that even in the days before the holiday, when everyone is busy preparing for the Festival of Freedom, our enemies are seeking specifically at this time to attack the joy of our celebration. But we will not be broken or despair, because this is exactly what we say on the Seder night, 'That in each generation, they stand against us to destroy us, and God saves us from them'."


Beloved by Queen Elizabeth and adopted by Audrey Hepburn – the humble headscarf is having a moment. Whether it's a sweeping style statement, a move towards modest fashion or a political appeal, covering your hair was the clearest message designers delivered for autumn on the catwalks.
There were knitted balaclavas at Calvin Klein, crowns at Dolce & Gabbana and headscarves aplenty from Gucci and Dior through to Valentino. Never in one season have we seen so many silk scarves. If not worn as accessories, they were weaved and sewn into garments. At Toga, the lining of luxurious trenches were fitted with flashes of vintage silk scarf prints, while at Salvatore Ferragamo different scarf prints were stitched together in the form of elegant dresses.
An unlikely must-have accessory for this season, headscarves are one of the oldest female accoutrements, with a retro flair rarely seen on the catwalk.
Rejected by the fashion set for airing on the side of preppy, it was only the silk skinny scarf that made an, albeit, brief appearance on the Saint Laurent catwalks and, most notably, Kate Moss.
The "granny-scarf", aka the silk printed scarf - has now pinged back to high-fashion status, imbuing the wearer's outfit with a modern sense of glamour and nostalgia. Richard Quinn, who showed his elaborate designs at Create at Brown Thomas, not only had the original scarf-wearer, the queen, front row at his fashion show in London, but he presented all manner of royal-inspired paisley-print headscarves.
Offering an uplifting hit of colour and bold design, the demand is about to surge as the headscarf is on the brink of a fashion renaissance. There's nothing old-ladyish about this season's gorgeous offerings that add a pop of personality to a more pared-back outfit. For a more contemporary take on the classic, look to Irish designers like Ciara Silke, Susanna Grogan, or Debbie Millington- whose tropical prints incorporating zebras, bananas and parrots are all inspired by her travels to the Serengeti in Africa.
Be careful how you choose to knot your scarf. The style set who swarmed international fashion weeks anchored theirs to their glossy ponytails, while others replaced statement necklaces with loosely tied printed confections. On the catwalks they favoured the under-the-chin style which might not be as easy to wear in real life.
Instead, try tying a silk scarf around your neck and tuck it into a collared shirt for a chic, and practical approach.

Astrology studies the influence of the planets in our lives and, it is a fact that planets really have influence on us and this influence can tell a lot about our personality and the way in which we act.
One of the aspects that can be known through astrology and the Zodiac are the reactions of all the signs in front of a crush of love.
If you want to know a bit more about this, you will be able to do it here.
– Aries: It is a very risky sign as when he sees the opportunity, he looks for ways in which to make people fall in love with him.
– Taurus: With Taurus, this situation is not very romantic due to his stubbornness. If it has been mutual, it is probable that there will be love situations.
– Gemini: He is a complete lover that will look for all the means of communication.
– Cancer: He gives himself completely in front of these situations.
– Leo: In front of a love crush, the depredator will come out of him.
– Virgo: They can be a bit cold in this aspect and not very good when understanding double intentions.
– Libra: He easily opens to these situations even he feels really nervous.
– Scorpion: Without a doubt, he shows his passionate side.
– Sagittarius: Love crushes are an adventure for him.
– Capricorn: A bit slow when interpreting the intentions of the others. They can be lost in their love.
– Aquarius: Completely sociable, so a love crush is not a problem for him.
– Pisces: He flies to the clouds in front of this fact. He is a complete romantic.

Q: Test Method relies on order of a privately constructed object source code/instructions (pages 20 and 21): https://github.com/head-first-csharp/fourth-edition/blob/master/Downloadable_projects/Chapter_9_project.pdf
I am building the GoFish project from Ch9 of the HeadFirst C# (4th Edition) textbook and cannot figure out how their test is supposed to set the Deck object to a specific order without changing code outside of the test. The test is GameControllerTests.TestPlayRound().
It is a test for a GameController class that keeps an instance of GameState which has a Stock property that stores a Deck class instance. The test method is PlayRound() and it manages the player's turn and the other computer player's turns. It takes in the HumanPlayer, the player that the HumanPlayer asks a card value for, the value being asked, and the Stock from the gameState. The primary purpose of PlayRound() is to set GameController.Status. The test is applied to the result Status produced by the method.
I can build the code for the class but the test can't pass because it doesn't sufficiently account for the shuffled Deck in GameState which is shuffled at the GameController level in its constructor. The decisions made based on cards dealt and cards asked for produce a specific Status to check in the test.
GameState.Stock (Deck instance) is readonly and for good reason (you want the stock to be immutable yet still able to be dealt). If it was not I would set the Deck to the exact order of cards that I want in the the test, but this is not possible.
Is there a method for writing unit tests that would allow me to set private or readonly variables from outside of this method?
(I believe I may be referring to a clear-box test as opposed to my black-box testing that I'm doing for all other tests in this project. That may be the only other option than making the Stock publicly mutable. This issue may also be related to the tight coupling but I am a bit novice to confidently say that is the cause of this situation.)

BETWYLL
CERTÌFICATI
#ProjectPont doesn't stop
From video storytelling to home education support, here's how the Welsh team is adjusting the project activities to meet the needs of schools and families in lockdown.
Following the Covid-19 outbreak, we decided to extend the project schedule so that all the classes involved could take their time to follow up with the social reading on the Betwyll app, while shifting to forced distance learning. How are they dealing with this new situation and how did you adjust the activities planned?
KATE STRUDWICK: The Covid-19 "Lockdown" has meant that Head4Arts has had to completely review its programme of work, particularly changing focus towards activities that could be accessed online at no cost to participants. We knew that the #ProjectPont was something that was ready to be rolled out to a wider cohort of participants and that schools are currently seeking projects that can be included in home learning programmes. The virus has also brought an enhanced sense of community and people in Wales are very much aware of the hardships experienced by the people of northern Italy. This seemed like a good time to show solidarity and connect through experiencing our shared heritage of folk tales.
In this scenario of forced isolation and home education, #ProjectPont might turn out to be a particularly useful resource for Welsh families in your area. Could you explain why?
KATE STRUDWICK: Wales is a proudly bilingual nation. In our area it is very common for parents who only speak English to opt to have their child educated in a Welsh language school. They have a very good reputation and many people decide to start learning Welsh because their children are fully bilingual. However, the current situation of home schooling has caused problems for parents who can't understand the language of their childrens' lessons. In lockdown, families need activities that they can do together. #ProjectPont provides that opportunity, with all the resources being available in both Welsh and English – not to mention Italian and Occitan. We also like the fact that these stories are short. Where parents lack the confidence to take on big projects, we know that this one is manageable they can dip into it at the level at which they feel comfortable. Who knows? They may decide to follow some of the other projects of offer via Betwyll.
As an additional resource especially designed to support families in accessing the stories on Betwyll, you decided to record English and Welsh performances of the legends published on the app to somehow replace the live storytelling sessions planned in schools. Why did you find it important to keep the storytelling dimension in the project? When and how will they be available?
TAMAR ELUNED WILLIAMS: I think it's important to remember that these stories come from an oral tradition, and to try to honour that even with social distancing measures in place. While storytelling normally happens with a live audience, we can still find ways of telling stories at this time, using the wealth of social media platforms that we have available. I wanted to film myself telling the stories without notes in Welsh and English to show that they are living, breathing things that change and adapt each time you tell them, exactly the way they would have been passed on by the generations before us. For me it highlights the "Pont" aspect of the project – the bridge – the fact that, somehow, we have the same story told in Italy and in Wales (the story of the Devil's Bridge), which can only have happened because people have travelled, have bridged great distances, and taken their stories with them.
MORGAN ROBERTS: The stories will be available to watch together on the Head4Arts (EN/CY) and Menter Caerffili (CY) Facebook Pages following this weekly schedule.
Tuesday 28 April | Fairies: 10am (English performance) and 1pm (Welsh performance)
Tuesday 5 May | Metamorphic creatures: 10am (English performance) and 1pm (Welsh performance)
Tuesday 12 May | Dragons and devils: 10am (English performance) and 1pm (Welsh performance)
You can rewatch the stories on Head4Arts YouTube channel and on the Betwyll app among the contents of the #ProjectPont social reading project.
As professionals whose work is based on social interaction, how are you responding/adjusting your activities to the lockdown? How do you imagine community outreach, storytelling and live performance will change in the aftermath of the pandemic?
KATE STRUDWICK: I hope that this period of lockdown will have brought families closer together and that they will continue to enjoy exploring stories together, either through live performances, reading together or sharing stories they have heard. It is likely that people will not be rushing back to attending large social gatherings for a while and that we will take a time to adjust to a new way of life.
TAMAR ELUNED WILLIAMS: This is a very challenging time as a freelance artist whose work is based on gathering people together. But it's also a time of opportunity and reflection. I've been telling stories via Facebook Live and running weekly storytelling nights every Sunday night on Zoom. These spaces feel important. We're joined on Sundays by 35-40 people, some of whom have never been to live storytelling events, but who are finding stories to be a source of comfort, reflection and sharing at this time. I hope that they will join us for live events in the future. As someone who organises live performance events, this situation has also made me think about accessibility. We've had a lot of people joining us for storytelling who would never be able to attend a live event, because they have young children or additional needs or don't like to drive at night. Perhaps we will continue to look at running virtual story events online even when lockdown is lifted, because they have such a wide reach and make storytelling accessible to anybody, whatever their circumstances.
MORGAN ROBERTS: Working in communities and in particular with minority group communities such as Welsh speakers, it has been an opportunity to strengthen the online presence of Welsh Language Content within the digital realm. Being a member of a minority group it is easy to feel isolated in normal circumstances, but through increasing the digital presence online this can strengthen the feeling of belonging and improve wellbeing. The focus is keeping connected online and keeping the dialogue flowing between us and the community with our collective creativity at the heart of the work.

Municipal employees to get a 3.5% increase after wage deal
Anathi Madubela
Knowing where all the municipality's assets are and the condition they are in and to plan for maintenance is key to successful service delivery
A collective wage agreement covering the years 2021, 2022 and 2023 has been agreed to at the South African Local Government Bargaining Council, sector association Salga has announced.
The deal package includes a multi-three year wage deal, pension fund reforms, a financial relief mechanism for municipalities in financial distress and for the terms of the agreement to be revisited should unforeseen negative economic circumstances arise during the period of the agreement, the South African Local Government Association (Salga) said.
Salga — an autonomous association covering all 257 South African local governments — has been caught up in protracted salary and wage negotiations with the South African Municipal Workers Union and Independent Municipal & Allied Trade Union since March.
According to the collective agreement for the current financial year, all municipal employees will receive a 3.5% increase effective from 1 July this year.
The remuneration of municipal employees will be adjusted every year with a once-off non-pensionable cash allowance for:
Employees earning a basic salary of R12 500 or less as of 1 July who will receive an amount of R4 000 and
Employees earning a basic salary of R12 501 or more as of 1 July who will get R3 000
The agreement however imposes a zero increase in some benefits such as the homeowners allowance and medical aid.
Salga said the deal meant that there would be stability in the sector, with no need for year-on-year wage negotiations.
"The multi-three year collective agreement will enable municipalities to budget accurately in the medium term budgeting process," the association said in a statement.
"Municipal employees will dedicate their full attention to rendering accelerated service delivery and the local government can also focus on preparing for the fifth democratic local government elections and the transition without any interruptions."
The local government elections will be held on 1 November.

By perfecting 6 fundamental basketball moves, you'll have everything you need to explode past any defender on the court.
"Knockout" is a basketball game often used by teachers and coaches during school or basketball practices.
It involves players in a single file line attempting to score a basket before the person behind them.
Learning how to dribble a basketball is usually the very first skill a player will learn.
• Keep their head up to see teammates.
• Move around the court.
• Protect the ball from the defense.
Then learning how to dribble a basketball can be intimidating.
If you want to be a great player, you must be willing to outwork your opponents (and teammates).
This requires getting in the gym for basketball workouts 3+ times per week.
Because if you're only getting better at team practices, there's no way you'll be able to distance yourself from everyone else you're competing against.


The conference was attended by over a hundred participants, representing academic community, business circles, regional and municipal authorities, non-governmental organizations and the media.
Opening words made by Nikolay Oskin, Director General of Non-Commercial Partnership "Karelian Resource Centre of NGOs", Olga Sokolova, Minister of Social Protection, Labour and Employment of the Republic of Karelia, Daniel Martsenyuk, Temporary Acting Representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry in Petrozavodsk, and Rimma Ermolenko, Deputy Head of the Petrozavodsk City District, were followed by a brief plenary session where results of the project were presented.
Results of the work in groups were summarized during the final plenary session.
Detailed agenda of the conference, as well as photos and presentations are available here.

I started my externship at a company and its been over a week. What strikes me the most is how similar the experience was to my last big demo project. The process is very similar, the methodologies seem so far to be similar (though it looks likes there's more frequent use of workshops) and the questions being asked all seem to be very familiar. Its not unexpected but what is surprising is the reaction of the folks when i mention that. They dont expect the similarity. Now admittedly, it is early and I expect that what I will find will be specific practices that are more advanced than what we've learned at school, like the methods of storytelling, use of prototyping at earlier stages etc.
Now this is good since it means a transition will be much easier and less disruptive on both sides. I have less than 3 weeks remaining and i'm eager to see what else i can learn.

Q: Firefox telnet not working I am using Firefox to access eve-ng server.
Basically, each node is exposed as a telnet link such as the following:
telnet://192.168.1.168:36323
I have made sure that I have enabled the following in Firefox and restarted Firefox:
network.protocol-handler.expose.telnet and set the value to false
When clicking on the link that is a telnet link I get to select the system handler option, which when I select just launches Konsole but no telnet to the endpoint.
After searching I found the following script that I have now located in /usr/bin directory and from Firefox I point to this script but nothing happens:
The script is as follows:

#!/bin/sh
#address=`echo ${*##telnet://} | sed 's/:/ /g'`

address=`echo $1 | cut -d : -f 2 | sed 's;/;;g'`
port=`echo $1 | cut -d : -f 3`
exec /usr/bin/konsole -e telnet $address $port
#exec /usr/bin/xterm -e telnet $address $port

The above script works when I execute from the CLI such as following:
fftelnet telent://192.168.1.168:58129

But it does not work when I select this from Firefox.
I have attached the image of what happens in firefox:

Please help.

A: I used this:
#!/bin/bash
#
# Linux shell script called by Firefox in response to
# telnet:// URLs for the NNMi telnet menu.
#
address=`echo $1 | cut -d : -f 2 | sed 's;/;;g'`
port=`echo $1 | cut -d : -f 3`
exec /usr/bin/gnome-terminal -- telnet $address $port

Cruz Spins Insane Lie Even by GOP Standards: PP Shooter was a "LEFTIST Activist"
Sydney Robinson
During a campaign stop in Iowa, Ted Cruz attempted to dismiss comments that terrorist Robert Dear made pertaining to "no more baby parts," by ridiculously insinuating that Dear was an "independent and a woman and a transgendered leftist activist."
Due to a probable clerical error, GOP airheads like Cruz are flocking to push the blame for domestic terrorist Robert Dear off onto anyone they can. For now, they are putting their hopes in the Colorado voter's registration which has a Robert Lewis Dear Jr. listed as a politically unaffiliated woman.
If Dear were truly the "transgendered" individual that the GOP is hoping he is, it might have come up during the interview with his ex wife in the New York Times. As it stands, these records prove nothing more than the fact that our voter registration system isn't foolproof and that the GOP is truly feeling the heat from the blame coming their way.
Watch.

The OSCARS for Transformational Industry
7TH ANNUAL UNSTOPPABLE FOUNDATION GALA TO HONOR FIRST-EVER LEGACY AWARD RECIPIENT, BEST-SELLING AUTHOR AND INSPIRATIONAL PERSONAL COACH, BOB PROCTOR
Imagine being in The Oscars where you celebrate those who give the most to children in need? What would it be like being in a charity event fill with professional athletes, world-class leaders, and motivational speakers? There is only one event where you can meet the best of the best in one single room. The Unstoppable Foundation's 7th Annual Gala will be held on Saturday March 19, 2016 at the JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. Live. "Our Unstoppable Gala brings a voice to the 57 million children who do not have access to even a primary education. We can solve this critical need if we have the will to do something about it," said Cynthia Kersey, best-selling author and founder of The Unstoppable Foundation. VIP celebrity and athlete attendees include Henry Winkler, Melanie Griffith, Anne Archer, Warren Moon, Marcellus Wiley, Ronn Moss, Dyan Cannon, Sage Stelle and Chris Hale and more, along with popular authors, national renowned speakers, global thought leaders, and some of the best minds in business. Best selling-author, Jack Canfield has called the Unstoppable Foundation, "the Oscars for the transformational industry."
This year's event will offer guests an exciting evening featuring a private VIP reception, performances by inspirational singer Joy Enriquez and Monster kids, a live auction with once-in-alifetime experiences, and first-hand account of the Unstoppable Foundation's work from a female student visiting from Kenya.
The Unstoppable Foundation will also recognize the first recipient of its Legacy Award, Bob Proctor, Chairman and Co-Founder of the Proctor Gallagher Institute, who was selected based on his lifetime dedication to charity and inspiring generosity in others. "I humbly accept this award on behalf of the Foundation, a group that has given me more than I have given it," said Proctor. "Supporting the Unstoppable Foundation has changed our business, making us a better company and giving our organization and everyone working in it an additional purpose. The foundation is flourishing largely due to the level of contribution we commit each month."
"Bob embodies the generous giving spirit of the Unstoppable Foundation and was the natural choice of the first ever Legacy Award"-Cynthia Kersey, Founder of The Unstoppable Foundation
Chris Mburu, Senior Human Rights Adviser to the United Nations, is this year's Unstoppable Achievement Award recipient. Previous honorees have included Nobel Prize Laureate Malala Yousafzai, NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon, and scholar/activist Dr. Tererai Trent. Funds raised from this year's gala will help to bring Kipisan, a community of men, women, and children in the Maasai Mara, all 5 pillars necessary to bring education and sustainability to the entire community.

Today, I'm hanging out at On the Willows to share some thoughts about striving for balance in the midst of a busy and over-committed world.
I'm not usually much for lace. But I've been noticing accents of lace trim and loving it. These four have been tickling my fancy lately!
1 - pop quiz oxford casual shoe by shi 2 - handmade lace lined envelopes from stitched + adorned 3 - large lacey oval drop earrings from AcuteDesigns 4 - lacey lou black legwarmers by grace and lace co.
What's been tickling your fancy?
It's already the end of the month and it's already time for the monthly what I'm into post. I've done it for the past two months and love looking back at what I included previously. February has flown by, can you believe it's nearly March? I noticed the crocus are coming up in my neighbor's yard already.
what I want to read.
Downton Abbey...and that's almost all I've watched since we disconnected our cable two weeks ago.
Moneyball. I'm so ready for baseball season.
+ Caedomon's Call Chronicles. It may be nearly ten years old, but their familiar tunes bring back good memories from my college days.
+ Our amazing bathroom re-do and painting the guest room.
+ I spoke at a leadership conference on Saturday for freshman and sophomores at Tufts University. The students were great and I had a lot of fun talking about leadership and digital identity.
+ I bought this concealer, mostly because Zooey Deschanel was selling it and I really like how it blends.
what I'm looking forward to.
+ Hosting colleagues in Boston next month for my professional association's conference. We've been working on this conference since December 2010, and I can't wait to see it come to fruition in my city!
+ Sharing more details + photos of home improvement projects...the mister has been hard at work and I'm hopeful I'll get some finishing touches on things to share soon.
+ Co-hosting a Pampered Chef party with a colleague next month.
If we were having coffee this week, I would not be able to keep from telling you this story! We'd probably sit on my couch and I'd give you a choice of tea or coffee. You'd likely comment on the unfinished look of our kitchen, in a polite way, but still wonder why there's a gap in the corner of the counter and unpainted walls. I'd say I'm glad you asked because I can tell you about a project that's more finished than any other 'round here!
You see, it all started last weekend. We didn't have any real plans. My husband said he wanted to get some things done around the house and I hoped to do some preparation for an event I have the next weekend. But then I said it. I asked the questions I've been considering for months: How much work & time would it take to paint the upstairs bathroom? As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I knew it was going to be an adventure. The mister's eyes lit up and a grin came across his face, "Home Depot is bringing in new inventory this week, so they're sure to have things marked down." Have I ever told you how much he loves a project?
Part of me wishes I would have taken more photos before the pedestal sink, complete with gold trim and floral accents, lilac walls, and gold fixtures were removed. But then there is part of me that's so thankful what I just described is a thing of the past. I will never again walk into that bathroom, with its chipped enamel sink having barely enough room to set my toothpaste down, nor stare at myself in an oval mirror decked in floral-ness (pretty sure that's not a word, but described the previous bathroom situation).
It all started with my question, thinking we would buy some paint, then come home to search Craig's List for a "cheap" vanity. After all, that's how we acquired the pedestal sink in the 1st floor bath; we paid a mere $20. So, as we entered Home Depot last Saturday, I was feeling somewhat apprehensive about the prospect of finding what we needed to perform a lil' bathroom reno on a budget. Boy, was I wrong!
All said and done, we spent less than $300 between the new light fixtures, faucet, paint, towel rack, TP holder and sink. I feel like we have a whole new bathroom. Honestly, the shower needs to be re-done, but we couldn't afford that nor do we have the time want to go without a shower. But I'm telling you, the quality of life that comes from some paint and pretty fixtures is amazing! When I tweeted about it the other night, I asked Brandon if he thought adding #gliddenwarmcaramelsavedmylife was over-the-top. He just shrugged, but I think it's true. Paint makes me feel better about our home.
Wanna know the next best part?! We have enough paint left to tackle the master bedroom...goodbye dark olive walls!
About a month ago, I started noticing tweets and Facebook posts about Downton Abbey. It seemed that everywhere I looked, people were talking about this television show. Yet, when I asked friends I encounter in my day-to-day, no one had seen it. Then I took the plunge when I realized Season 1 was available to stream via Netflix.
As an American, all things British seem to catch my eye. Remember the media frenzy over Royal Wedding last spring? Perhaps it's because I grew up with a mother who had an interest in the Royal Family. Though I was an infant, I'm pretty sure I was alongside my mom to see the Royal Wedding televised back in 1981 when Diana became a Princess. I even had a Princess Di paper doll and I can still tell you details of where I was when I learned Diana had been killed in a car crash in 1997.
I'm not always one to join the latest trend, especially when it comes to books and television. However I'm so glad I gave in; Downton Abbey is the prefect blend of romance and mystery set in early twentieth century England. The series starts the day the Titanic sank, 100 years ago. The cast is dynamic, with characters you love to hate and others you root for in every episode. I'm no television critic, but now that I've seen it I can agree with The New York Times calling it "an instant classic."
The period dress alone is something to admire. I find myself imagining what it would be like to first of all get dressed up decked out for dinner every night and secondly, to have someone assisting you. I certainly wouldn't want a servant/maid, but it's also something I've never imagined. I love hearing the conversations among the working class (maids, footmen, cooks etc.) and then the Grantham family. Still not convinced? Here's a great synopsis of the storyline (without spoiling it) and some excellent photos of the castle the series is filmed in.
The show is one my husband also enjoys, which makes me feel less guilty for spending time in front of the television because at least I'm not alone. Have I sparked your interest or have you already watched every episode (maybe more than once)? Season 2 is currently available online at PBS, but only until March 7th. If you Google "Downton Abbey" you'll see a number of rumors swirling about with the end of its second season this past Sunday. My favorite rumor, and one I'm hoping is true, is that David Boreanaz of Bones would be cast ins season 3 (spoiler alert if you read the article). Seems this series has created quite the following and imagine my excitement when I came across these Downton Abbey paper dolls!
When I first read Hayley's post 100 Golden No's my stomach knotted and I couldn't fathom wanting to hear NO 100 times in a year. I kept reading and I kept thinking about this concept. The idea is that the more opportunity you seek, the more opportunity you will have and along the way you'll conquer fears of hearing the word NO.
Since my word of the year is ready, I feel I should take this challenge on with gusto. What am I afraid of? There's even a pretty download for the 100 No's to print and hang out so you can track them. I thought about it for weeks and now here I am admitting that I printed it out and am using it as a reminder.
But you know what else I need to admit? I have already checked off more than one NO. There was one NO that felt particularly painful. I didn't want to hear it and was fearful it would arrive. But I am left wondering what the closed door will allow to come my way. I don't simply tell myself "something better will come along," because that doesn't usually work. I'm not one for pat answers or band-aids. Instead, I have to go through the situation: to grapple with the ugly, raw hurt and emotion on being shut down.
I have experienced disappointments before, and know I will again and again. So rather than telling myself something better will come along, I believe something different will come: the opportunity that is meant to be. Waiting is hard. Discernment is necessary. And so I'm seeking wisdom in the midst of opportunity. And I will continue to find opportunities and check off the NOs. Think I'll reach 100 this year?
What are you seeking this week?
I am grateful to have today off. Thank you, Mr. Presidents! I'll be spending the day at home; I hope to have some time to craft a bit. It's been too long since I've shared a DIY around here. It's also the start of February vacation in our part of the world ((a week-long break for K-12)). It makes me slightly jealous, but then I remember they're in school until mid-June...glad those days are behind me!
Can you tell we've been a little more focused on the house than usual? I think it's a combination of the unseasonably warm winter and realizing we've been in our home for almost a year. We spent so much time on the house over the weekend, but it feels good.
This week, I'm joining Friday's Fancies with Long Distance Loving for the first time. The theme is "let's fly away." I put together a little something I'd wear if I were going somewhere warmer, say California? What are your travel must-haves? I always try to dress in layers because I get cool easily, yet hate being too warm. Scarves are often my answer! I also bring comfy shoes, but try to only back 2-3 pairs.
I love this colorful DIY table cloth idea from Oh Happy Day!
Still mourning the impending loss of Picnik? Good news--- Kam from Campfire Chic shared some alternatives to Picnik.
I'm adoring these book page inspirations put together by Brooke of Pure and Noble.
What are you obsessing over lately? This post from Mom Comm shared some helpful tips for what NOT to obsess over in the blog world.
What do you always travel with? Have a great weekend!
Meet this month's sponsors...be sure to show them some love...after all, it's February!
About Kendra's blog: Hi! I'm Kendra, a twenty something blogger, artist, photographer, blog designer, writer, dreamer and first time mama-to-be of a little boy! I blog about life, art and inspirations at Like a Bird. I focus on being honest and truthful to myself, as well as others about my journey to find myself. I love being a friend and resource for other artists and those struggling with depression. I have unhealthy obsessions with zombies, Star Wars, coffee, blogging and cuddling.
How do you survive the winter blues? I survive the winter blues with lots of cuddles with my fiance and cat and hot chocolate always at hand. Walks in parks with my camera are also a great help as it helps me remember the beauty of this season.
About Kristin's blog: Cooking, crafting, sewing, + other domestic ventures.
How do you survive the winter blues? I survive the winter blues by lots and lots of baking. In Florida we don't have efficient heating, so I take this opportunity to use the oven as much as I can. Pretty soon it gets too hot to bake! I usually give most of the baked goods away to help boost other peoples' moods. A warm kitchen and a warm heart helps me get through winter.
About Manda's blog: I'm the new fiance to my Prince Charming, planning our July wedding. I have 4 crazy and wild step-kiddos who live with us full time. I have 3 fur babies who have me wrapped around their little paw! My blog is all out the adventures into this completely new world of motherhood, lessons learned, wedding planning and just about anything else that is on my mind for that day!
How do you survive the winter blues? Stay busy! With four kiddos in the house, we are always on the go. So, we don't spend a lot of time indoors. We are at the baseball park or softball field... and if we are inside, we like to do things like baking and crafting and cooking to keep us all busy!
About Beth's blog: My name is Elizabeth & I am a twenty-something who pretends to be a grown up! I love Jesus, people, glitter, adventures, dress up, creating, exploring, and dating my best friend! Come stop on by & say hello! I would be honored to have you as a guest!
How do you survive the winter blues? Winter blues?! What are those? Winter is my second favorite season ever [nothing can beat autumn!]. When winter comes, scarves & pea coats are daily attire! Paired with cute boots with socks. Beautiful snow falls & covers all the ugliness of town - seriously snow makes garbage dumps look good! Snow cones, sledding, snowboarding, Christmas, fireplaces, hot coco, cuddling, & ice skating are all possibilities!!! I suppose if you have a case of the winter blues you need to 1. make a list of things you are grateful for and 2. take time to find out why we have seasons - there is something good & special in each one!
I'm also button swapping with several other lovely bloggers and handmade shop owners. Be sure to check them out if you haven't already!
Here's a simple + sweet recipe from me to you on this Valentine's Day.
Make it for a friend, loved one or enjoy it on your own ((I won't tell))!
I love coffee. And I love coffee dates even more! My husband received a gift card for Christmas that we've been using for coffee dates, which has been a real treat. Since moving outside of the city almost a year ago, we don't get to many coffee shops besides Starbucks.
We'd meet at a local coffee shop in Boston and sit down at one of its small tables. You'd notice the students bustling in/out, the business types in their suits all bundled up since it's February and the dog walkers, dressed for the day's elements. If you weren't from the area, you'd probably ask me why I chose this location and I'd tell you I love the atmosphere as much as the coffee itself. I'd then tell you I love people watching here, with its many students and professor types, proving that I can't escape the university atmosphere even when I'm "off the clock."
I'd ask you what you think of Boston and probably give you lots of pointers, even if you didn't ask for them. You see, I love Boston and even more I love to tell others how I adore its historic streets and cobblestone sidewalks. I probably should have advised you to get your coffee to go, so we could walk the streets together and I could point things out!
But if you'd rather stay inside, I can tell you how to go about getting to the top of the Old Customs House to see the most amazing view of the city. I would then recommend strolling through Quincy Market on your way to the North End for some gelato or a pastry. If it's cold you should take the Green Line to Park Street and then explore my favorite street in the city: Charles. The street is lined with expensive but quaint shops that are worth browsing because it is so Boston with its gas lamps and narrow sidewalks.
Boston is known for its celebration of sports and great athletes, but don't worry I'm not going to try to sell you on football ((which doesn't even get played in the city)). I'd tell you I'm excited for one of my favorite Boston traditions that will conclude tonight: The Beanpot. On the first two Mondays of February four NCAA men's ice hockey teams play in a tournament for the Beanpot trophy. Tonight's finals match up is between Boston University and Boston College. Harvard and Northeastern will play in the consolation game. My other favorite sports moments occur every April with Opening day at Fenway ((this year marks the 100the anniversary of the ballpark)) and the Boston Marathon.
I'd tell you I am beyond excited to show Boston off as part of the 2012 Annual ACUI Conference planning team. We will host 900 of my colleagues from institutions around the world in just five weeks. I'd also confess to being somewhat worried everyone has a great experience, so much so that I'm praying it doesn't snow!
Finally, I just might admit the city has its downfalls with harsh winters and short summers, high cost of living, awkwardly intersecting streets and crowded public transportation system. I'd tell you they are forgiven a lot of times because they teach me patience, how to enjoy the moment and uniqueness of the region.
What do you love about your city/town?
With our unseasonably mild winter, I've started to dream of spring. Rather than risking the temptation of roaming the mall, I "shopped" Polyvore last night and put together a few outfits for spring ((I also searched for items under $50 in hopes of finding some more budget-friendly pieces)). As you can see, I have stripes and florals on my mind. I haven't mixed patterns much in the past, but hope to do it more so I'm on the lookout for a striped shirt.
What do you think of the brown oxfords? I'm thinking I should try something new this season and these might be it. They're slightly different from what I'd usually consider 'my style,' but I know a fashion risk is good for me ((every once and a while)). Journey's has some options here and here.
What trends are you digging as spring approaches?
I'm feeling more and more ready to go for no 'poo myself after reading Ferial's post about her switch months ago.
This Valentine's garland made me so happy, mostly because I've always love sending letters and getting real mail.
I'm considering having an Oscar Party, even if it just means printing these out and making my husband play along.
If you've been around here long, you know I love social media, and Annie's post about her un-strategy gave me plenty to think about.
Yesterday, I sent my husband an instant message with a link to a T-shirt, telling him I'd buy it for him for Valentine's Day if we had the budget for gifts. It started me thinking about what I could do for Valentine's Day. Honestly, I have never been a big fan of the Hallmark holiday because of the emphasis on materialism and attention it drew to my 27 years of singledom. I have a better attitude about embracing it with homemade items and acts of love these days.
I'm glad I have the weekend to decide what to make :) Here are some do-it-yourself and homemade items to inspire a budget conscious Valentine for your sweetie, neighbor or friend!
Still searching for more ideas?
Stay in for dinner. Eat dinner picnic-style ((on the floor)) with a cozy blanket or build a fort, use candles or Christmas lights to make it something different than another meal on the couch or sitting at the table.
Create a coupon book. Think of 5-10 ideas ((back rub, kitchen clean up, etc.)) This was a similar DIY idea with scratch off lottery tickets. The tickets/coupons can be used year-round for a gift that outlasts the shortest month of the year.
Bake a treat. What does your spouse/friend like to indulge in? Take the time to make that special treat to show your love.
Pamper yourself. You might as well take care of yourself and check out these homemade body scrubs from Crunchy Betty.
What are your Valentine's plans? Will you make something to give away?
I'm borrowing this idea from Jen at The Arizona Russums. I thought it was such a clever way to explain the things we do ((or want to do)).
I never follow a recipe completely.
I rarely cook dinner ((and never would have guessed it would be this way)).
I sometimes go to the grocery store but hope by husband offers.
I usually make a list of what we need from the grocery store and pull coupons to go with it.
I always enjoy my husband's cooking ((and try not to take it for granted)).
I never get my inbox to zero, but often try.
I sometimes work nights + weekends.
I usually get to work on time and make a daily to do-do list at my desk.
I always bring two large refillable bottles of water to work with me ((the cafeteria water tastes nasty)).
I never forget birthdays and anniversaries ((but I don't always send a card)).
I rarely get to spend more than a few days with family because we're spread across the country.
I sometimes reply promptly ((within 12 hours)) to emails, texts and phone calls.
I usually call my dad on the weekends.
I always miss my mom.
Where do you fall on the spectrum of never, rarely, sometimes, usually, always?
I've had a little obsession with this saying ever since I first watched Portlandia. My husband and I joke around when ever we see a bird saying "put a bird on it" and I even told a colleague recently to do the same ((but he didn't get it)). I have some ribbon with birds on it I used to make a cute clip for a baby.
I also own a sweater with bird on it and used to refer to it as my Twitter sweater because oddly enough the bird is Twitter blue ((I bought it at Old Navy years ago)). Last week, I wore the sweater thinking it would put me in a happy & fun mood for a long day at work. And it did just that, but not for the reasons I had imagined. It reminded me of Matthew 6 and what Jesus said about birds. I had a lot on my mind that day; it was racing in a million directions and I took the chance to be still and read the familiar words I needed so badly to hear.
Do not be anxious about your life. Our Heavenly Father provides for our every need.
Where have you seen reminders of God's promises lately?
At any rate, I'm joining the self-portrait challenge from The Paper Mama. All you have to do is take a photo of yourself and complete the following statements, then linkup.
My speech and workshop for a leadership summit for college students in two weeks. I'm talking about digital identity and leadership.
How to spend our tax return wisely. We haven't filed yet, but with it being the first year to file as homeowners and needing to finish so many home improvements, I'm pretty anxious to get it done!
March. The first week of Mach is spring beak for the university where I work. I'll be at work that week, but it will be quiet and I can wrap up last minute details for ACUI's Annual Conference, which I'm on the planning team for later in March. The conference is going to be awesome and I'm excited to host my colleagues and show off Boston!
97.3 KBCO ((via websteam)), great classic rock selection and makes me miss Colorado like crazy with all their commentary! I'm long overdue for a visit to the Centennial state.
Nothing at the moment, but I consumed some delicious cake over the weekend. On Saturday, I made a from scratch double chocolate cake with chocolate cream cheese frosting.
I could go to one of the many wonderful blog conferences this spring. Between our slim budget and my work schedule this season, it just doesn't allow the travel/time. I'm hoping that will change in the future!
Have you participated in the self-portrait challenge?
Don't forget the GIVEAWAY ends on Tuesday ((that's tomorrow))!
I love to bake. If I had endless time, I would bake cookies all day! Well, maybe not all day ((I'd spend some time EATING them too))! I had a stressful day earlier in the week and what was my response? I came home and baked. I find it soothing to focus on making something...something delicious I can share with others ((and enjoy myself)). I took them to our community group that night and they were a huge hit.
Combine flours, baking soda and salt, set aside.
Mix butter with both sugars using an electric mixer, until creamy.
Add eggs and vanilla to mixture.
Slowly add flour mixture by one half cup at a time until it's all mixed in.
Use two spoons to place on cookie sheets.
Bake for 10 min. or until slightly brown on top ((don't let them get too brown or they will be crunchy rather than chewy)).
Remove from oven and cool on wire wrack.
And if you haven't taken my reader survey, please take a minute to give me your feedback. Thank you!!!
I wish I would have read this before I posted my first vlog earlier in the week. Considering a vlog yourself? Don't miss her tips.
I'm loving this goodwill transformation thanks to some pretty silver spray paint!
Who couldn't use some Secrets of DIY Manicure in their life?! I love painting my nails and she has some really great suggestions.
Giving is a topic I tend to talk more about than actually do, so when I read this helpful post from Rachel I was encouraged by another blogger living on a budget ((her whole blog is awesome by the way))!
Thank you Laura for reminding us about the numbers that really matter!
P.S. Have you taken the reader survey or enter the giveaway?!
Today, I am excited to introduce Beth of Until Only Love Remains.
My name is Elizabeth & I am a twenty-something who pretends to be a grown up! I love Jesus, people, glitter, adventures, dress up, creating, exploring, and dating my best friend! Come stop on by & say hello! I would be honored to have you as a guest!
Beth has an Etsy shop full of home, baby and wedding decor. And this giveaway is just in time for Valentine's Day! Win this beautiful bunting banner made from burlap (($20 value)).
Coupon Alert: Use code SWEETLOVE for 25% off your purchase!
That's a total of 9 possible entries!
Giveaway will close on Tuesday, February 7 and the winner announced the next day. U.S. Residents only ((all photos by Beth and used by permission)).
It's been 13 months since I did a reader survey, so I thought it time to do another. I'd love it if you could take the time to answer the following questions about why you read this blog. I know some of you, but would love to get to know you better and find out what keeps you coming back...THANK YOU in advance!

Opinion: Life Needs To Go On
By Woody White, posted Mar 23, 2020
Woody White
DISCLAIMER#1: I have no idea what the future holds.
DISCLAIMER #2: Neither does anyone else.
And now that we have that out of the way, let's talk frankly about how to assess what we THINK the future holds and how best to see good outcomes blossom to fruition.
Two weeks ago, when I heard that the NCAA Tournament, the Azalea Festival, the NBA and the Masters were all canceled I had conflicting emotions; shock turned to bewilderment and despondency, then to anger then to despondency again. How could anyone make such big decisions so early in this crisis? There were too many unknowns, too many steps in the decision-making process that were being skipped.
My initial thoughts were wrong and canceling those events – and many others – was the right thing to do. We have seen the schools suspended, our favorite restaurants and bars close and our entire way of life coming apart before our eyes. Yet, these early decisions – while appropriate for the most part – now appear to have been the low-hanging fruit on the decision-making tree. Because now, the decisions leaders will make will be more impactful and longer lasting. Any further restrictions on our liberties will be an overreach of biblical proportions – a spicy menu for an unintended consequences buffet.
Are we about to go too far and cause more damage to ourselves than what consensus believes the virus would cause, even if it were to go unabated? This is what leaders must ask themselves. The basic foundations of our civilization are being eroded and if the trajectory of confinement and suspension of civil liberties continues, the pendulum will swing too far and may never come back. Are some people going to get sick and some die? Obviously. Can this be prevented 100 percent? Obviously not. How much damage can be prevented and at what cost? That is the pertinent question confounding us all.
Do not misread what I am saying. I agree with the social-distancing efforts, with the neurotic obsession of wiping everything down, with not shaking hands and staying at home if you can. But we are on the cusp of taking this all too far. Closing responsible small businesses that are adhering to safe protocols? Closing public spaces? Calling in the National Guard? We are scaring kids, we are scaring our loved ones and we are scaring ourselves half to death.
Governmental edicts which infringe on civil liberties must be based on common-sense consideration of all known data and adopted only in the absence of mitigating options. Reacting to this virus is rational and necessary, but overreacting is dangerous and unnecessary. For example, prohibiting parties on the beach is reasonable but closing the beach is not. Soliciting parents to wipe down the monkey bars and swing sets at the park is reasonable. Closing public parks is not.
Striking the right balance is critical.
I love reading anything Daniel Kahneman writes. His insightful commentary on how we make decisions is eye-opening and entertaining when read in the luxury of uneventful times.
But his depiction of a peer-established concept known as the "availability cascade" and how it shapes decision-making is apropos. The "availability cascade" essentially means that availability of information has a cascading effect on the decisions that we make – and the velocity with which we make them.
The more "available" bad information is the worse our decisions tend to be. (Regrettably, the reverse is not necessarily true). One person is bitten by a shark, and no one gets in the ocean for a month. One scam artist cons a victim, and suddenly fundraising at the local church dries up. You know what he is talking about because you have done the same as I have. You shouldn't let a recency bias taint an otherwise good head on your shoulders for objectively assessing risk.
Kahneman's thesis is often disproportionately true for politicians and government officials who are expected to make decisions in fluid and fast-paced situations. I have served in public office now for 7.5 years, and I have learned that politicians and government officials often fall prey to the cascade quicker and with more consequence, than the average person. This should not surprise you. Politicians have a well-known propensity for wanting people to like them. Most crave validation, adulation and popularity. Some think first and foremost about their re-election or about how the community may one day enshrine their legacy on a plaque in the park. This is true, and you all know it. So is it any wonder that when loud voices are screaming at them, they tend to be influenced by the decibel level? This is true in the electoral process. It is true in the normal vagaries of day to day governing. And it is exponentially true in a crisis. Something always has to be done.
Of course there are no absolutes. Not all of the decisions that leaders make are the wrong ones. In fact, we hope and pray that most decisions are right and lead to the greater good. But everyone is influenced to some degree by the availability of cascading news cycles, Facebook posts, neighbors and Twitter mobs. And now more than ever.
The point is that leaders must be self-aware enough to accept that the cascading avalanche of information is ubiquitous and that consequential decisions should never seek to pacify the majority simply for the sake of doing so. Decision-makers should strive to strike the right balance among sometimes irreconcilable choices. Now is the time to exercise common sense, allow reasonable measures to be in place but trust that most people act in reasonable ways. Life needs to go on. Our way of living, within reasonable guidelines, must resume.
Absent some new information, the governor should not enact a shelter-in-place edict. New Hanover County should not close public spaces or further restrict commerce. The mayors of the beach towns should reopen the beaches immediately and enforce reasonable rules for crowds. The schools should move expeditiously to screen at-risk kids but reopen as soon as possible.
The risk of living confronts us every moment of every day from our first breath to our last. We all know this. Assessing risk, within boundaries of rules adopted for common sense reasons, should be left to the people. Government cannot and never will save us from everything. In order to survive this crisis, the sooner we accept our own responsibility and government allows us to do so, the better off we will be.
Attorney Woody White has served on the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners since 2012.

It's a sequel that delivers in just about every possible way; just ask RPG Site.
If you're looking for an original gameplay premise and a sequel that improves on the initial title in just about every possible way, check out the recently released DanganRonpa 2: Goodbye Despair. Blending a unique form of action with courtroom drama (of all things), this surprisingly immersive and inspired production is well worth your time.
If you don't believe us, check out an excellent review of the game at RPG Site. Critic David Kreinberg pens a tight, informed analysis that covers all the bases. He correctly compares the sequel to the former entry but at the same time, he evaluates the new title on its own merits. This results in a nicely balanced review that is both accessible and effective.
Lest we forget, the purpose of any product review is to inform and tentatively recommend or discourage based on industry expertise. That's precisely what Kreinberg does, and the reader benefits from a job well done.
With a quirky cast of characters and a thoughtful, unique approach to gameplay, this sequel thrives.
— An appropriate ongoing contrast between the original and the sequel. This is what readers want to know, above all else: How does it compare to the first game? How is it better? How is it fresh?
— The critic doesn't forget the other elements of a game, as attention is paid to the technical and artistic presentation.
— A well-paced and well thought-out analysis that answers just about every question a reader may have. That isn't easy to do and it's great to see in any product review.
My wife loves this series!
