I've officially started my Thanksgiving prep for this year. I made 10 pie crusts and froze them.
My cranberry sauce has been made and canned. I made a lot because each guest gets to take one home with their leftovers.
Look at all of these women preparing the dinner. This is what I need, an army of women! This year my daughter and The Chef are making some of the sides and he is smoking one of the turkeys for me. He smoked a chicken recently and it was the best chicken I ever tasted so this will be a real treat.
I started to set the table too. The centerpiece will be completed just before Thanksgiving day. You can set your table far in advance and just cover it with a thin plastic painters drop cloth.
Today I am driving to the country to order my turkeys and a ham. I've never made a ham for Thanksgiving but I am having so many people that I thought the variety would be nice.
Next week I will bake some short breads, gingerbread bars and maple nut bars. These can be made in advance and kept on plastic containers. They actually improve in taste as they age a week or two. Besides a variety of pies, I like to have a good selection of other desserts as well.
Then on the big day people will travel over the rivers and through the hoods to get to my house for dinner.
I always make lots of extra food so everyone can take home at least enough for another meal.
This year I will be making some traditional New England and Southern appetizers and side dishes which I will post them as I go along. It's an early Thanksgiving this year and I have lots to do.
Sounds as if You're prepared for this thanksgiving :-) The food sounds delicious!
I'm looking forward to my first Thanksgiving in South Carolina--my husband and I are moving there on Monday-eeek! I'll be perusing your page for recipes for certain!
Your menu always sound so tasty, and you certainly know how to manage all that food . I gave away Easter and Thanksgiving dinner to daughter and step daughter. I just do Christmas, to tell the truth I wanted to do Thanksgiving, but everyone said no "we have to come here at Christmas" Oh well.
David and I always have ham for Thanksgiving and Yule. I also make a turkey breast for Thanksgiving but that is mainly used for sliced turkey sandwiches later in the week. Yesterday I made the cookie dough for Thanksgiving and Yule cookies. My back paid for it but it was well worth the job. I now have 20 cookie dough logs a foot long each sitting in the freezer in the pantry. I also made lots of mini rum bundt cakes that are sitting in the other refrigerator and I'm starting on the bread loaves today. What can I say? I f***ing love to bake.
Oh I LOVE the Cornucopia.
Wow. Unbelievable! That pie crust and table setting are not to be believed!


Happy Wednesday, I hope your February is off to a great start!
Today is the day, I'm sharing the details of my upcoming press trip! Yes it's a cruise, as you can see from the view above. I was so excited to receive an email a few weeks ago from Norwegian cruises!
I and a guest are invited to the inaugural cruise of the Bliss, leaving the end of May. I can't wait to hop on board, and share all the exciting perks of sailing with Norwegian. The ship will be departing from here, at the Port of Seattle. I've been on one cruise so far, but it was on a different carrier. I've heard Norwegian offers the ultimate experiences in cruising.
The Norwegian Bliss is the newest and incredible ship, being added to the fleet. The Bliss will be available for reservations this summer. She will be cruising to Alaska, and destinations in the Caribbean. This ship is custom built for spectacular viewing. It will feature a revolutionary observation lounge to take in the stunner views of both of these destinations. There are also some spectacular activity choices, not available on other cruiselines. Check out it all out here!
Have you been on a cruise? Where would you choose to sail?
If you are in the planning stages, do check out the fantastic deals being offered for the launch of this new ship.
If you are a blogger or influencer, I want to encourage you to keep pursuing your goals. It sometimes takes years of hard work and building your brand, for your dreams to come to fruition. I have been blogging for almost 3.5 years, and it has been a long road to get to this point. Some bloggers have overnight success it seems, and others don;t. So never give up, keep up the good work and things will happen!
My birthday is in a few days, and oh goody I'm 29 again, ha ha! That is really wishful thinking! It's all good, you are only as old as you feel! Even though your body may tell you otherwise, having this mind set helps a ton! I will be sharing all the fun of my weekend over on instagram stories, if you want to follow along.
Lastly: I just had an MRI on my shoulder, as I've been experiencing extreme discomfort. Using my arm constantly to keep up my blog and social media, is causing overuse. I was diagnosed with bursitis and tendinitis, so not sure of the treatment plan yet. I may have to take some short breaks here and there, until it heals. Thanks for your patience.
Thanks to YOU, my loyal followers who come back every week, and have supported me on this blogging journey! I hope to see you here again soon, enjoy the month of love!
Wow you lucky thing! Enjoy it looks amazing!
Thank you, it was a lot of hard work getting to this point, it's finally paying off!

The reaction in the late 19th century against naturalism in art led to a sequence of different movements in the 20th century. In each of these periods of innovation Pablo Picasso played an important part. He said that to repeat oneself is to go against "the constant flight forward of the spirit." Primarily a painter, he also became a fine sculptor, engraver, and ceramist. Pablo Ruiz y Picasso was born on Oct. 25, 1881, in Málaga, on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. His father, an art teacher, early recognized his son's genius. Picasso studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Barcelona, where his father was appointed professor in 1896. Pablo had already mastered realistic technique, however, and had little use for school. At 16 he had his own studio in Barcelona. In 1900 he first visited Paris, and in 1904 he settled there.
Picasso's personal style began to form in the years from 1901 to 1904, a period often referred to as his blue period because of the pervasive blue tones he used in his paintings at that time. In 1905, as he became more successful, Picasso altered his palette, and the blue tones gave way to a terra-cotta color, a shade of deep pinkish red. At the same time his subject matter grew less melancholy and included dancers, acrobats, and harlequins. The paintings he did during the years between 1905 and 1907 are said to belong to his rose period.
In 1907 Picasso struck off in an entirely different direction with Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. This painting shows the influence of his new fascination with primitive art and carvings, especially those of African origin. The picture represents a major turning point in art because it opened the door to cubism and the later abstract movement. Working with his friend and fellow painter Georges Braque, Picasso began experimenting with increasingly analytical and geometric forms. His painting The Three Musicians, which dates from 1921, is one of his major achievements using this technique (see painting).
In 1917 Picasso had gone to Rome to design costumes and scenery for Sergey Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. This work stimulated another departure in Picasso's work, and he began to paint the works now referred to as belonging to his classic period, which lasted from about 1918 until 1925.
At the same time he was working on designs for the ballet, Picasso also continued to develop the cubist technique, making it less rigorous and austere. By the time he painted Guernica, his moving vision of the Spanish Civil War, the straight lines of early cubism had given way to curved forms. This huge painting, considered by many to be his masterpiece, was Picasso's response to the 1937 bombing by the Fascist forces of the small Basque town of Guernica. He completed this emotional political statement in the same year. In it, as in many of his later pictures, distortions of form approach surrealism, but Picasso never called himself a surrealist.
From about 1904, shortly after he settled in Paris, until 1911, Picasso had lived with Fernande Olivier, who may have inspired the sunnier outlook reflected in his rose period. From about 1911 until her death in 1917, he lived with Marcelle Humbert. In 1918 Picasso married a young Russian ballerina, Olga Koklova. The couple, who later separated and were divorced in 1935, had one son, Paulo. Olga died in 1955. In 1961, at the age of 80, the artist married his model, Jacqueline Roque.
In the time between these two marriages, Picasso shared his life with several women who influenced his work and provided him with a family. His mistresses included Marie-Thérèse Walter, whom he met in the early 1930s and who was the mother of his daughter Maia, and Dora Maat, a Yugoslavian whom he met in 1936. Françoise Gilot, who lived with Picasso between 1946 and 1953, was the mother of his youngest children—Claude, born in 1947, and Paloma, born two years later. His association with Gilot inspired Picasso to create a charming series of paintings that featured a mythologically inspired world of fauns, nymphs, centaurs, and pipers.
Picasso remained in France throughout World War II, but he was forbidden to exhibit his work after the German occupation. He joined the French Communist party in 1944. In 1955 he moved to the French Riviera.
Picasso continued to work with incredible speed and versatility—as painter, ceramist, sculptor, designer, and graphic artist—into his 90s. The value of his estate was estimated at more than 500 million dollars when he died on April 8, 1973, in Mougins, France.
La reacción en el siglo 19 contra el naturalismo en el arte desarrollo una secuencia de movimientos diferentes en el siglo 20. En cada uno de estos períodos de innovación Pablo Picasso desempeñó un papel importante. Picasso decía que para respetarse a uno mismo hay que ir en contra de "la constante huida hacia adelante del espíritu." Ante todo un pintor, también se convirtió en un escultor, grabador y ceramista.
Pablo Ruiz y Picasso nació el 25 de octubre de 1881, en Málaga, en la costa mediterránea de España. Su padre, un profesor de arte, noto la genialidad de su hijo. Picasso estudió en la Academia de Bellas Artes de Barcelona, donde su padre fue nombrado profesor en 1896. Pablo dominaba la técnica realista, sin embargo, no fue valorado en la academia. A los 16 años tuvo su propio estudio en Barcelona. En 1900 visitó por primera vez París, y en 1904 se estableció allí.
El estilo personal de Picasso comenzó a formarse en los años 1901 a 1904, un período al que se refiere a menudo como su periodo azul, debido a los tonos de azul penetrante que utiliza en sus pinturas de la época. En 1905, ya que tuvo más éxito, Picasso cambió su paleta, y los tonos azules dieron paso a un color terracota, un tono de rojo rosado profundo. Al mismo tiempo, su tema creció bailarines menos triste e incluyó, acróbatas y arlequines. Las pinturas que hizo entre los años 1905 y 1907 se dice que pertenecen a su periodo rosa.
En 1907 Picasso sacudió en una dirección completamente diferente con Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. Esta pintura muestra la influencia de su nueva fascinación con el arte primitivo y las tallas, especialmente las de origen africano. La imagen representa un importante punto de inflexión en el arte, ya que abrió la puerta con el cubismo y el movimiento abstracto más tarde. Trabajar con su amigo y también pintor Georges Braque, Picasso comenzó a experimentar con formas cada vez más analítica y geométrica. Su pintura Los Músicos, que data de 1921, es uno de sus mayores logros con esta técnica.
En 1917 Picasso había ido a Roma para diseñar vestuario y la escenografía para Russes Sergei Diaghilev. Este trabajo estimuló otra salida en la obra de Picasso, y comenzó a pintar las obras que ahora se conoce como pertenecientes a su periodo clásico, que duró desde 1918 hasta 1925.
Al mismo tiempo estaba trabajando en los diseños para el ballet, Picasso también continuó desarrollando la técnica cubista, por lo que es menos rigurosa y austera. En el momento en que pintó "El Guernica", su visión conmovedora de la Guerra Civil Española, las líneas rectas del cubismo temprano había dado paso a formas curvas. Este enorme cuadro, considerado por muchos como su obra maestra, fue la respuesta de Picasso a los bombardeos de 1937 por las fuerzas fascistas de la pequeña ciudad vasca de Guernica. Completó esta declaración política emocional en el mismo año. En ella, nunca como en muchas de sus fotos más tarde, las distorsiones del surrealismo forma enfoque, pero Picasso se llamó a sí mismo surrealista.
Picasso permaneció en Francia durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, pero se le prohibió exponer su obra después de la ocupación alemana. Se unió al Partido Comunista Francés en 1944. En 1955 se trasladó a la Riviera francesa.
Picasso continuó trabajando con increíble velocidad y versatilidad, como ceramista, pintor, escultor, diseñador y artista gráfico, a sus 90 años. El valor de su patrimonio se estimo en más de 500 millones de dólares cuando murió el 8 de abril de 1973, en Mougins, Francia.

BMW Manufactures EVs with Green Electricity
Home » Other » BMW Manufactures EVs with Green Electricity
Munich / Dingolfing. The BMW Group will power production of the new electric BMW iX and BMW i4 at Plants Dingolfing and Munich entirely with regional green hydroelectricity. Contracts have been signed with Stadtwerke München and RWE Supply & Trading for energy to be supplied by hydroelectricity from rivers Isar and Lech. Board Member for Production Milan Nedeljković: "We take a holistic view of sustainability. So rather than just minimizing emissions from driving, we are working to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of our production processes."
The BMW Group already powers its production facilities worldwide entirely with green electricity today. "What's new is the fact that in the future, we will source our renewable electricity directly from regional providers based close to our plants," Nedeljković explains. The green electricity needed for BMW iX* production will come from the Isar hydroelectric power stations Uppenborn between Moosburg and Landshut while production of the BMW i4 will be powered by the Lech hydroelectric power stations in Gersthofen and Rain. The energy they supply is also used to manufacture a wide range of components for the two electric models, at BMW Group Plants Landshut, Dingolfing and Berlin.
"Our direct supply contracts add another major boost to the eco-credentials of the green electricity we use in production," Nedeljković emphasizes. But as well as implementing more and more such contracts, the BMW Group is increasing the share of the renewable or carbon-neutral electricity it generates itself. Since 2013, for instance, the four wind turbines at Plant Leipzig have provided all the electricity needed to manufacture the BMW i3*. Another of several examples from the BMW Group production network is the newest plant, in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, where production is largely powered using energy from large solar arrays.

The energy goals the BMW Group has set itself are designed for the longer term. Between 2006 and 2019, emissions from production fell by more than 70 percent per car. Going forward Nedeljković explains: "We want to cut CO2 emissions by another 80 percent by 2030, to less than 10 percent of what they were in 2006."
The BMW Group has a strong foundation to build on, having raised the bar repeatedly over the last few decades in terms of sustainability. Continuous improvement remains central to the strategy to cut CO2 emissions and increase resource efficiency.
As well as sourcing 100 percent green energy, since 2020 the BMW Group has been systematically investing in improving energy efficiency – partly by capitalizing on the opportunities of digitalization. Data analytics has already helped make production more efficient, for instance with predictive machine maintenance and by minimizing the number of parts rejected from the bodyshop. As well as drastically cutting actual CO2 emissions, the BMW Group will offset any remaining emissions (Scope 1 + 2) in full via relevant certificates.

Beyond Scotland, ex-pat Scots and a few informed corners of Britain as a whole, not many people would have heard of William Wallace before the 1995 film, Braveheart. The American, Mel Gibson, directed and starred in the movie, playing the downtrodden, noble, medieval Scottish hero battling the evil English, led by Patrick McGoohan – who depicted a particularly villainous King Edward I. Wallace comes across as a kind of Mad Max meets Lethal Weapon meets Nelson Mandela painted blue and wearing a kilt. However, for all its historical unreliability, Braveheart is a great film of the 'goodies and baddies' type, with acres of armour, scores of swords and buckets of blood (and gore). Even English audiences can boo the baddies; in Scotland, the film probably increased membership of the Scottish Nationalist Party almost overnight – particularly those in the 0-16 age group.
Despite Mel's best propagandist efforts, then, you may think it sad if there remained a small number of poor uninformed souls in remote places – Birmingham, for example – who are ignorant of Wallace and do not realise that he was a real person, and a Scottish idol. Indeed, William Wallace has an almost mystical quality to many Scots. The reality is that Wallace bravely and briefly frustrated Edward's plans 700 years ago to unify Britain under one crown (Edward's), was unjustly tried for treason and then met a cruel and barbaric death. We don't know much about his life (there's a brief summary in this article about the Wallace memorial in Smithfield, London). In the end, Edward's ambitions were thwarted by his own demise 2 years after Wallace's awful execution, the Scots that united under Robert the Bruce dealt the English a blow at the Battle of Bannockburn 7 years later and it took a Scots king, James VI, to unify the crowns about 300 years after that.
So what's all this about a National Wallace Monument? It is debateable how much Wallace, though undoubtedly a good Scotch egg, achieved for his country – which was hardly a unified political entity at the time anyway. Maybe there's a theme here; if you search for Scottish heroes on the internet, up comes an official-looking Scotland website which lists, amongst others, Bonnie Prince Charlie, Mary Queen of Scots and Greyfriars' Bobby – two more failures and a wee pooch? Derision of course misses the point – a sense of pride in the underdog who refuses to be beaten coupled with the tremendous, timeless, power of myths. Heroes and national emblems don't necessarily rely on the inconvenience of facts in order to inspire – look at the enduring legend of King Arthur and, more recently, the English football team. It was in similar spirit, and perhaps in the context of maintaining Scotland's unique identity in the wake of Sir Walter Scott discovering the Honours of Scotland (Scotland's crown jewels – see Edinburgh Castle), that a National Wallace Monument was proposed in the 1830s. It was decided to site the monument in Stirling – a fair compromise between auld rivals Edinburgh and Glasgow – and on the Abbey Craig, a 300 foot (91 metre) high hill where once an Iron Age fort stood, and from which Wallace is said to have watched Edward's troops arrive before the Scots' victory at the Battle of Stirling Bridge on 11th September 1297. Funds for the Wallace Monument were raised by public subscription; the cost of construction was in excess of £10,000 according to Stirling Council and as much as £18,000 according to Wikipedia. It is said that amongst the foreign contributors was Italian nationalist leader Giuseppe Garibaldi (which just about takes the biscuit).
The National Wallace Monument was 8 years in the building and completed in time for the 572nd anniversary of the Battle of Stirling Bridge on 11th September 1869. It is an amazing structure, 220 feet (67 metres) high in Victorian Gothic/Scottish Baronial style. The walls are at least 5 feet (1.5 metres) thick – in places an astonishing 16 feet (5 metres) – and there are 246 steps, mostly in a fairly narrow spiral, to the top, a spectacular stone crown affair reminiscent of St Giles' cathedral in Edinburgh. The views are impressive, though the battle site of Stirling Bridge in front of the castle is now largely built over, unfortunately.
Beneath the crown are three chambers. The first is largely dedicated to medieval weaponry and an explanation of the Battle of Stirling Bridge – a joint triumph for Wallace and his co-commander, Andrew de Moray; de Moray, however, was mortally wounded in the battle.
The second chamber of the Wallace Monument, Hall of Heroes, contains the busts of 16 notable Scots, including Robbie Burns, Robert the Bruce, David Livingstone, Walter Scott, James Watt, John Knox and Adam Smith. According to the National Monument's website, "Every one of the characters profiled in the gallery has reflected the spirit of William Wallace through their commitment to liberty, through their opposition to discrimination and inequality, and by the lengths which they went to in order to improve the lives of other people." Hmm; really? Alas, they have not yet got round to including Sean Connery, Alex Harvey, Lonnie Donegan, Billy Connolly, Annie Lennox, Chris Hoy – or, indeed, Nicola Sturgeon – all of whom undoubtedly meet those criteria as much as those whose busts are already there. Even more puzzling; Greyfriars' Bobby has been left out. However, I am glad to see that they will be gradually adding heroines, to redress the hitherto male dominated hero-elite. So perhaps we should expect to see Flora MacDonald, the Countess of Nithsdale and Mary Somerville joining the heroine ranks quite soon.
The room also contains some rather nice stained glass as well as a 5'8" long medieval broadsword, or claymore, which is reputed to have belonged to Wallace and to have been used by him at Stirling, as well as at his defeat at the Battle of Falkirk the following year. The sword weighs 6lbs (2.7kg). Imagine swinging that – and keeping your balance! Whoever used it must have been big, and immensely strong. Attributing the sword to Wallace, however, is uncertain; but it is apparently Scottish – and very old. By the way, Wallace is alleged to have made a sword belt from the skin of Hugh de Cressingham, the hated English Treasurer of Scotland and one of the English commanders at Stirling Bridge.
The third chamber houses an exhibition that tells the story of building the monument.
If you're in the Stirling area, or passing through this gateway to the Highlands, you can hardly fail to spot the National Wallace Monument. High on Abbey Craig to the north west of the city, framed by beckoning hills, it is an undeniably proud and dramatic sight. You should pop in. Park near the reception centre beneath the Abbey Craig and either take a courtesy bus, or walk up to the monument's entrance along a pleasant, wooded path. Just bear in mind that the hill is 300 feet high, then you have the 220 foot monument to scale. There is, inevitably, a gift shop which unexpectedly specialises in Scottish things. Even more surprisingly, there is a selection of books about Sir William Wallace and the Scottish Wars of Independence. It might even be possible to buy a DVD of Braveheart. Have a cup of tea and slice of haggis in the coffee shop; it's called Legends.
By the way, Mel – it's about time someone made a movie about Hereward the Wake or Caractacus. Or – even better – Alfred the Great. Hey – go for all three; I'd be glad to help. "Freedom!"
There are memorials to Wallace all over Scotland, as well as in London, Australia, Canada and the United States.

A great deal of information here… I really wanted to climb those stairs when I was there…but my daughter convinced me that if I took a tumble coming back down, it would be the end of our holiday. We were in Scotland for about 23 days….looking forward to another trip in 2018. I did post about my trip, but I left most of the history up to you, and to some wonderful books that have been written…always enjoy reading your posts, especially about Scotland.

Argh…Braveheart…probably DH's favorite movies 😉
I'm sure he would love visiting this monument.
Thanks for a detailed and interesting article Mike.
Love your humor as well!

Impressive! This I didn't know about.

It really is a Victorian architectural extravaganza! Nice to learn a few more details. You get a great view of it from Stirling Castle, across the valley. From everything I've read, Wallace really was a hero, regardless of Mel Gibson. (And I do know the story of Somerled).
Yes, the opening shot was taken from Stirling Castle.

From what I've read the sword has been examined closely and is made up of several different swords but tourists expect a two handed weapon and would be disappointed otherwise. So much of Scottish history is myth, legend, or inaccurate- most of it an English invention- like the kilt and tartans. Somerled, Lord of the Isles ( Where Prince Charles got his title from) ruled the entire western seaboard from the Isle of Man, and Cumbria to the Hebrides yet most folk still haven't heard of him. He was half scot half viking though but he did rule supreme until his death..
Kay Guest 10th September 2017 at 18:41
Wonderful post, as always. I am thinking of men from Scotland…Eric Liddell, Eric Lomax, J.M.Barrie. These just came to my mind. Always feel a bit funny about the word "heroes" but that is just me.
That last photo is really nice.
Hi Mike – what an incredible building seen close up. Lots of history with Wallace, I wonder how much Scotland owes to his legacy … fascinating to see – I'd love to visit Stirling Castle one day … cheers Hilary
diane 9th September 2017 at 12:48
That is an impressive monument. Now I want to see Braveheart. I always thought Mel was Australian. But have discovered he was born in USA but he grew up here and went to our NIDA. Like all good Australian actors they end up in America where there are more jobs and better money.
pollymacleod 9th September 2017 at 09:26
Excellent post Mike, love your humour – Garibaldi and Birmingham, very witty. Discrimination and equality eh, I can just hear those words being bandied around in medieval times!
That is a mighty impressive sword.
Tanja 9th September 2017 at 09:07
I got my certificate for climbing it in the gift shop:) beautiful views from the top and love the Gothic style of the monument. also, we walked all the way from the road down below, didn't know there was a van that brings you up to the monument.
Amy 9th September 2017 at 07:58
Love learning about scottish history like this, I've traced my grandmother's family back to the Wallaces and Grahams and Dunlops and Mackintosh's in Scotland.
Clare Pooley 9th September 2017 at 00:43
Such an imposing looking structure! The bridge is a beauty too.
A very fair review of the monument. It is a pity that, here and in places like this all over the world, the organisers feel the need to make 'Hero Galleries'. It just confuses things, I think. Almost like those comments on book blurbs – if you enjoyed this book you'll love……..etc.

I was indeed in the Stirling area, and did not fail to spot the National Wallace Monument – proud, dramatic and of interesting architecture. But as the fighting over political sculpture in the southern states of the USA has shown this year, nationalist sentiment is a source of pride to half the population and a source of pain to the other half. I wonder if some people do not want Wallace made into a national hero.
I think there's a difference between nationalism and patriotism. It's also easy to view history with 21st century eyes.
Judy@CranberryMorning 8th September 2017 at 19:44
Of course I'd love to see this in person, but there's just so much… And Billy Connolly definitely improved my life by his portrayal of John Brown In 'Mrs. Brown' with Judi Dench. I hope you avoided purchasing the Scottish oatcakes. I was betrayed by the pretty packaging.
Oatcakes are great with cheese…provided they're fresh…

Why is it, when it comes to writing a Father's Day card we never know what to write unlike Mother's Day when we can say a million, trillion things. Each of our dads are special to us, their mannerisms, actions and just generally how they are with us so there are lots of things we could write about to honour them on Father's Day.
Thinking about what makes your dad the best, in what way is he special to you? Recall your favourite memory of you both together and thank him for things he has taught you over the years. He might have a dad thing that he does so you could also bring that up and joke about it.
If you don't have the best relationship with your Father, you can still send a card. Focus on the positives between you and tell him you're thinking of him and wish him a wonderful day.
For first time father's or father's-to-be this will be new, exciting and one they'll always remember so mums-to-be / first time mums can get their partners a card to make it a special. Let him know be an amazing dad and that you know he'll always take care of the little one or remind of the great job he's already doing.
A grandad is someone you treasure more than anything. The memories you make are unforgettable. Show and tell him it's definitely be an honour to celebrate Father's Day with your grandad. You could also share with him the top 10 things you love about him I'm sure that would put a smile on his face and make him so happy!
If you have someone in your life that is like a second father to you then you are very lucky. It's nice to show this person what they mean to you and the relationship you have. Think of things they've done for you, thank them and tell them how happy you are to have someone watching out for you. After all, Father's Day is for someone who is there for you through everything and has a father's heart.
Life isn't perfect but who would want it to be anyway!? Sometimes, for whatever reason, mums will have to play the of a father too. I know a few people who do this and I admire them so much. For the strength, courage they have and everything they do to make sure their child isn't missing out. So, don't forget to thank your mum if she plays the part of a father figure too.
That's all for now but if you haven't got your hands on a Father's Day card yet, you can shop HERE or download one from HERE. I hope these ideas help you write a special Father's Day card this year.

Ok, I'm going to try (emphasis on try) to take a stab at this whole theory of writing thing, so please bear with me as I try to get my thoughts together.
The Metaconcept reading brought up a lot of good points about this idea of reading and writing. I liked what it said about how writing (and by extension, reading) "connect[s] us to other people across time and space" (18). It is a conversation happening even when we aren't thinking about it, yet we are influenced by past experiences, audiences, and purpose. Audience and purpose as we discussed in class become these big motivating factors for the things that we want to convey in what we write so that we may be understood. Which brings me to one major point in the reading that I thought was interesting in section 1.4 about using words to define other words. This got me thinking about how this theory could be applied in terms of trying to communicate with others whose first language isn't your own. As someone who grew up in a bilingual home, sometimes it was necessary to use other words to define and the explain the meaning of the word I was describing in a certain context to create better understanding.
In doing that the conversation no longer became one sided or misunderstood but rather it became a shared one in which both speakers come to be on more or less equal footing and I think that writing can function in that same way. As quoted in the reading, "language lies on the borderline between oneself and the other. The word in language is half someone else's." (25). I really like that quote because it made me realize how social writing is. That even when I'm writing for myself, there is still a conversation that is shared between what is written and the one who is reading it. Of course, as we discussed in class, the tone of of our writing shifts and changes based on the situation, the audience, and the purpose. Things like the internet and social media are the main examples of how social writing can be and rather than blurring] "the boundaries between writer and audience" (21) like stated in the reading, I think in having that social aspect it allows for the conversation to be expanded on. It allows for new voices and different experiences to shape our understandings and to contribute (well, most of the time, if exempting trolls, haters, and what have you) something to the conversation at hand.
Possible theory: Writing is a complicated process heavily influenced by our experiences as much as it is influenced by our motivations and intended audiences. It is a process that relies on the writer and the reader to reach a level of understanding between one another in order to effectively create a better conversation and a more fluid exchange of ideas.
I say possible because like all theories, mine is also subject to change as I continue to get a better understanding of these topics and continue to learn more as the class goes on. I'd like to consider this as more of a starting point, which to be honest was more than I had like a day ago but I digress.
Marie! I don't think this is convoluted at all. In fact, you do such a nice job of exploring the social nature of writing, particularly as a relationship between reader(s) and writer. Taking the social turn further, we can argue that all literacies are situated in human activity; literacies are never simply an individual skill. The literacies have a history of use that arise from cultures and those histories shape how we use reading and writing, and maybe why shifts in use trouble people ("That's not how I use reading and writing…!").
It could be so interesting to follow your ideas about the "expanse of conversations." How ideas are taken up in social media, even following how the ideas are derailed or extended by trolls and haters.
Finally, I always appreciate hearing about home literacies, so thank you for the example of how meaning is made through the words we place alongside other words. Lovely.
This was really interesting to see your take on section 1.4 and how it's effected you. I personally did not find 1.4 very relevant to my writing so it's cool to read how that concept has affected people differently. The difference in our theories was also quite fun to see but how our theories are also quite similar in the sense that we both believe writing to be a way to achieve something or reach others. Nice pictures by the way!

Moving on after two unhappy years
Future shock is the new normal
Brian Matthews
They are 'coming to get us', warns our Prime Minister, adapting the 'bogey man' mode of our childhood fears to the contemporary narrative of terrorism and violence. The effect of related intrusions on our daily lives is being gradually dulled. The neoliberal dispensation under which we now live both relies on, and encourages, new episodes of normalisation that go far beyond what we've known in the past.
Quake forces Nepalis to walk on water
Angela Ford
As a kiwi I had grown up with earthquakes. I remember them large, small and intrusive. Awed by their power, I cherished the still that followed. This is what made Nepal's second major earthquake so different for me. I will never forget the beginning of the 7.3-magnitude quake, but will never recall the end.
Australia turns its back on a world in need
Paul O'Callaghan
As we prepare to mark the tenth anniversary of the Boxing Day tsunami, Australia's proud achievement in being the largest per capita provider of overseas aid at the time is being overshadowed by reports of further devastating government cuts to our aid program. Successive cuts - including 20 per cent in the May Budget - mean that we are starting to be seen as a country turning inwards.
South Sudan warning for Australia's hate speech champions
Michael Mullins
In South Sudan, hate speech broadcast on a local FM radio station earlier this month led to the slaughter of hundreds of innocent civilians in a massacre based on ethnicity. Local UN officials are now calling on authorities to 'to take all measures possible to prevent the airing of such messages'. Meanwhile in Australia, the Government is attempting to give legal sanction to the kind of hate speech that incited to the South Sudan massacre.
Toxic politics endure as Morrison gets nosy with the Navy
Scott Morrison is the first Immigration Minister to inspect ADF facilities. There has always been cooperation between the Defence Force and other government agencies, but Operation Sovereign Borders has radically changed the playing field. Indonesia's politicians might relish the irony of seeing in Australia an increasing interpenetration of military and civilian hierarchies — something that Australians used to see as a fault in Indonesia.
Best of 2013: My Philippines typhoon fury
I may have gotten extremely sweary on social media. Part of it was due to gut-deep fear for people to whom I am personally connected, but also generally for a country that runs in my veins. The other part of it was fury that the growing reality of extreme weather events is still being characterised as natural by climate change sceptics who have the luxury of speculating and refuting links outright.
Best of 2013: Gillard's game of thrones
Jim McDermott
Were you not there when I appointed Lord Slippery to the most honourable office in the land? Were you not there when I travelled to Western Sydney to be with my people and then did only carefully controlled media events? I do not need to make sense. I am Queen! Now, send me my Guild of Faceless Men.
Alternatives to trash reality TV
Michael McVeigh
In Pimp my Soup Van, contestants are asked to deck out a van with items that could be used to help people on the streets. In Please Marry My Boys, they sit down with the mothers of people in gay relationships and hear about their experiences. The Refugee Factor asks contestants to listen to asylum seekers' stories, and press a red button at the point where they feel that they, too, would have fled their homeland.
My Philippines typhoon fury
Climate change foes need to adapt
The bases of our arguments over climate change have been trodden so much that a moat has formed around us, leaving us stuck in our little island fortresses. We know thoroughly by now the content of our disagreement. But what are the things that do not require persuasion? Is it possible that we have values and interests that intersect? Adaptation may be that intersection.
Bushfires demand response-ability
Bronwyn Lay
Human land practices and increasing temperatures alter the earth, and are influenced by politics, law, philosophy and economics. In Lisbon, Western philosophy sought to sever God from nature; now we pretend that the fusion of humans and nature doesn't exist. The term natural disaster shouldn't be trusted. It is superstitious to think humans and nature aren't locked in a reciprocal relationship with political and ethical responsibility.


Abhijit Vaghani had literally crossed all the limits when he tried to remake 'Pal Pal Dil Ke Pas' of Kishore Kumar. The song was well performed by the legendary Indian super singer and now doing auto tuning at such level is an insult to the music. Arijit Singh is currently the most loved hindi singer in entire industry, after his appearance in The Kapil Sharma Show, his fan following had been increased tremendously.
I do not understand why people act smart for no reason. Abhijit Vaghani you did not have to tune my voice to this extent.I am so ashamed of this rendition and I so love the original. Good luck with your music bro but honestly your sense of tuning and ruining the classic tune is a classic one.Keep up the good work.You are a talented music producer but I am so done with you.
Thank you for making me hear the worst song master ever,thank you for returning my voice so much that I don't even recognize.Thank you really for cheating me. If I knew you will change the mix later I wouldn't have sung this.
A classic insult to the original song.
The song is sung by Arijit Singh, Tulsi Kumar and Neuman Pinto. The music is totally out of context and an 'insult' to the original one.
We are however, not mentioning the copied version because it doesn't worth that. Till then enjoy the original song in voice of Kishore Kumar.
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is scheduled for release this week which have maximum song performed by singer himself.

Q: How to detach from dtach when the detach character is disabled I am using dtach like this: dtach -A /tmp/mysession -Ez bash. This starts bash. Now, how do I detach from dtach? I have disabled the detach character using the -E option, so I cannot press Ctrl\  to detach. The man page says:

-E
Disables the detach character. dtach does not try to scan input from the terminal for a detach character. The only way to detach from the session is then by sending the attaching process an appropriate signal.

The man page doesn't specify what the "appropriate signal" is. How exactly do I detach from within bash when the detach character is disabled?
I tried kill -SIGHUP $$, but that always terminates dtach ([EOF - dtach terminating]) instead of detaching.

Coming Soon! London's Hollywood Hotel
Building work is underway on a new 78 room hotel in the heart of the area set to become London's Hollywood.
The new Travelodge in Dagenham East is being built by Barnes and will be just yards from the site of the soon-to-be largest film studios in London.
The scheme is which is funded through an agreement with Berkeley Square Developments on behalf of Be First, Barking and Dagenham Council's regeneration company, will also feature retail accommodation on the ground floor and a stand-alone Costa Coffee drive-through.
Leader of Barking and Dagenham Council, Councillor Darren Rodwell, visited the site with Tony O'Brien, UK Development Director of Travelodge Hotels, Ed Skeates, Development Director of Be First, Jonathan Carkeet of Berkeley Square Developments Limited and Bob Steward of Barnes Construction.
Councillor Rodwell said: "The new hotel and the studios mean hundreds of jobs for local people in London's Hollywood, from the hotel industry and construction workers to set designers, electricians and carpenters.
"Who knows, once it's built, you could even catch a glimpse of east end movie stars like Idris Elba filming next door!"

PRESS | "I want to score every game." Striker Padraig Amond Ahead of Grimsby Cup Replay Clash
Jay Bayford
@BayfordJay
Padraig Amond is looking to add to his impressive record in the Emirates FA Cup when Grimsby Town, who parted ways with Manager Michael Jolley last week, visit Rodney Parade in the first-round replay.
The Irishman struck from the spot in the initial tie to earn the replay against his former club and he will be looking to get among the goals again tonight with a trip to Maldon & Tiptree the reward for a victory.
Amond has enjoyed this competition in recent years and was the joint-top scorer in last season's competition with five – along with Gabriel Jesus of Manchester City.
He is currently on a streak of scoring in the past seven rounds he's played in but will have to navigate his way past the Mariners if he is to continue that run.
"I want to score in every game whether it's the first round of the FA Cup, the first round of the League Cup or 25th game in the league, it doesn't make a difference to me," said Amond.
"You want to score in as many games as possible but at the same time it doesn't matter whether I score or not as long as we win the game."
The striker will also be hoping to get on the scoresheet to mark his new two-year contract and admits manager Michael Flynn played a huge part in his decision to extend his stay in South Wales.
"For me, he's the best manager in the league. He's been brilliant," Amond added.
"There is no messing with him, he just says it as it is and players respond to that a lot more than being told what they want to hear at times.
"He's a very good manager, he's going to go a long long way in the future and we're lucky to have him.
"Look where the club was when he took over, probably going out of the Football League, and now look at the club.
"The club is in a very healthy position and that's a massive reason why I stayed here.
"You want to be successful and right the wrongs of last year. It still hurts but you have to use that at motivation to get to the next level.
"We've done really well in the FA Cup recently and this is another chance for us to put another marker out and show teams how good we are again."

Newcastle United Identify This Serie A Midfielder As A January Target: Good Choice For Howe?
By Abhinab Ghosh
CINCINNATI, OH - NOVEMBER 12: Weston McKennie #8 of the United States attempts to keep the ball away from Roberto Alvarado #14 of Mexico during the FIFA World Cup 2022 Qualifier match at TQL Stadium on November 12, 2021 in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Abhinab Ghosh
A 26-year-old sports writer and an aspiring football coach who has road-tripped across the Scottish Highlands, but has never been to Wales. Sucker for cliff-hangers and catchy riffs. Known to be a grunger and not to be a stranger.
In a recent report, The Daily Mail stated that Newcastle United have identified Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie as a January target. It is understood that the Magpies boss Eddie Howe is keen on strengthening his midfield and could make a move to land the United States international this winter.
McKennie's Decent Run Of Form At The Allianz Stadium This Season
McKennie has managed to establish himself as an important member of Juve's starting XI and deserves credit for producing some impressive displays for them in Italian football. The Texas-born sensation has found the back of the net twice in 14 matches for the Italian giants this season in multiple competitions.
The 23-year-old has given a good account of himself by averaging 1.0 tackles, 1.0 interceptions, 0.9 clearances, 1.1 shots, 0.6 key passes and 0.9 dribbles per 90 minutes in Serie A. However, he needs to take care of the ball a bit better when distributing it out from midfield, based on his pass success rate of 74.7% in the Italian top tier (stats via whoscored).

Is McKennie A Good Choice For Newcastle United?
McKennie can use his quickness to make some promising runs with the ball from midfield. He also doesn't shy away from having a shot at goal when afforded time and space by the opposition. However, he needs to add a few more goals and assists to his game in the final third.
Defensively, the 28-time United States international can get stuck in with a few solid tackles to make life difficult for the opposition at the centre of the park. He can offer decent protection for his teammates at the back by clearing the danger when needed.
At 23, McKennie's best years are ahead of him which means that the Magpies can expect to get the best out of him over the next few years if they can arrange a move for him this January. He will enhance the quality of Eddie Howe's midfield department and could go on to become a future star at St. James' Park. All in all, a midfielder of McKennie's skill set will be an excellent choice for the Tyneside outfit to pursue during this winter transfer period.

World map of Haiti
Ethnic groups:
Haiti is a majority black country (5% are of mixed African and other racial makeup), however many peoples of different ethnic and national backgrounds have settled and had major influence in the country's 200+ year history such as Poles (Polish legion), Jews, Arabs (from the Arab diaspora), Chinese, Indians, Spanish, Germans (18th century and World War I), Italians, and French, most marrying into the majority black populace and in turn yielding mulattoes (many of whom are prominent in Haitian society).
According to wiki the Haitian mulattoes are as high as 15-20%.
The official languages of Haiti are French and Haitian Creole.
Traditionally, the two languages served different functions, with Haitian Creole the informal everyday language of all the people, regardless of social class, and French the language of formal situations: schools, newspapers, the law and the courts, and official documents and decrees.
However, because the vast majority of Haitians speak only Creole, there have been efforts in recent years to expand its uses. In 1979, a law was passed that permitted Creole to be the language of instruction, and the Constitution of 1983 gave Creole the status of a national language. However, it was only in 1987 that the Constitution granted official status to Creole.
An artist rendition of her beauty
The music of Haiti combines a wide range of influences drawn from the many people who have settled on this Caribbean island. It reflects French, African rhythms, Spanish elements and others who have inhabited the island of Hispaniola and minor native Taino influences. Styles of music unique to the nation of Haiti include music derived from Vodou ceremonial traditions, Rara parading music, Twoubadou ballads, Mini-jazz rock bands, Rasin movement, Hip hop Kreyòl, Méringue, and Compas. Youth attend parties at nightclubs called discos, (pronounced "deece-ko"), and attend Bal. This term is the French word for ball, as in a formal dance.
Compas, short for compas direct, is a complex, ever-changing music that arose from African rhythms and European ballroom dancing, mixed with Haiti's bourgeois culture. It is a refined music, with méringue as its basic rhythm. In Creole, it is spelled as konpa dirèk or simply konpa. It is commonly spelled as it is pronounced as kompa.
Until 1937, Haiti has had no recorded music, until Jazz Guignard was recorded non-commercially. One of the most popular Haitian artists today, is Wyclef Jean. Wyclef Jean, however, left the country before his teenage years. His music is somewhat hip-hop mixed with world music.
The Haitian Revolution
The French Revolution furnished the Mulattoes and slaves with an opportunity and an inspiration after having witnessed the successful insurrection in France against the government's long-standing denial of equal representation of the Commons to that of the Nobility and Clergy. This was such a revolution in the structure of French society that its news spread like wildfire and was exactly the stimulus the slaves and Mulattoes in Haiti needed to inspire their revolt.
