The 12 Best Shows in L.A. This Week
L.A. Weekly August 30, 2018
Los Angeles is a hotbed of live music, and L.A. Weekly is here to help you navigate this embarrassment of riches. From weekend festivals celebrating garage rock and hair metal to p-funk originator George Clinton, up-and-comer Teyana Taylor and vets Killing Joke, here are the 12 best shows in L.A. this week!
Mondo Hollywood
Mondo Hollywood is a two-day festival of garage rock, surf, punk and rockabilly. Deejays from Green Slime, Radiocore and Voodoo Lounge L.A. will spin a nonstop barrage of trash rock while sultry burlesque sirens from the Mondo Trash Burlesque Revue, including Vanessa Burgundy, Kira Von Sutra, V.V. Venom and Kristina Nekyia, will entice you into a state of delirious madness. Saturday is centered on psychobilly groups such as Guana Batz and pyrotechnic trio Three Bad Jacks, but things really heat up on Sunday with sets from garage-rock all-stars The Control Freaks and intensely manic punks like The Schizophonics, The Flytraps and Deadbolt. The biggest thrills, though, will be sparked by The Detroit Cobras, whose wildly charismatic and unrepentantly profane singer, Rachel Nagy, has been belting out her fiery R&B remakes with sodden, soulful passion long before Amy Winehouse made her first visit to rehab. Also Sunday, Sept. 2. —Falling James
George Clinton's most creative days might be well behind him, but with Parliament and Funkadelic, pioneers of Clinton's own p-funk style, he did more than enough to see him etched in stone as one of the most genuinely unique, groundbreaking, genre-blurring artists in music's rich history. There was truly nobody like Clinton before he started working in the mid-'50s, and there'll be nobody like him when he's gone. Part soul musician, part performance artist, part fucking astronaut, Clinton is an innovator who took the funk that he played a part in developing, with help from James Brown and Sly Stone, and treated it as ground zero. There are few better albums from any genre than '71's Maggot Brain, while in the live environment, the man still pulls out all the stops. —Brett Callwood
sat 9/1
Def Sound, Cassandra Violet, MetronOhm
You can call Deffery Emmanuel, aka Def Sound, a rapper, but his music defies typical genre boundaries. Such songs as "Propane" are pumped up with lively beats as Def Sound croons over his inventive sound collages with an R&B coolness mixed with nimble-minded rap patter. But there is also a purposeful experimentation and artiness in stranger soundscapes like "Black Mirror," in which Emmanuel applies his perspective as a poet and DJ over stark metallic percussion and trippy sound effects to muse about both Angela Davis and Seth Curry while pointing out that "Jesus wasn't Christian." Echo Park chanteuse Cassandra Violet counters with such eerily haunting pop-folk opuses as "Beyond the Fray" and "Lady," in which she confides her enigmatic lyrics with a somberly chilling beauty before switching gears with the bubbly romanticism of the breezy pop gem "Take My Time." Plus, the soothing pop dreaminess of MetronOhm. —Falling James
Ookay
Ookay is one of the freshest leaders in trap music to come out of the States. Based in San Diego, real name Abraham "Abe" Laguna has been making music for six years straight. From deejaying to producing to unleashing the most fire remixes to date, he proves there are no real barriers between EDM and hip-hop. If there are any, he'll smash them. Collaborating with Marshmello and Noah Cyrus on "Chasing Colors" is just one example of his stellar recent work. His 2016 single "Thief" is another; it received an explosive remix from Flux Pavilion. Now, following last year's explosive Wow! Cool! Tour, Ookay is back to take over the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood. —Shirley Ju
Backyard Bash
RAINBOW BAR & GRILL
The Rainbow hosts these parties twice a year, events that we've cheekily rechristened Hairchella in the past. They make for great people-watching, usually while the sun beats down on the festivities. That said, this year's lineup is particularly fun. There's Sunset Strip hellraisers Warrant (albeit with their second singer since Jani Lane died), British glitter-stompers Sweet (albeit with like one original member), Van Halen tribute The Atomic Punks, theatrical heavy-metal puppet show Green Jelly, ad punchy hard rockers Little Caesar. That's a lot of party music, especially when considering the fact that entry is free (with a two-drink minimum). These Rainbow shows do a good job of resurrecting the decadent spirit of Sunset past, and Lemmy will surely approve as revelers take photos with his statue. —Brett Callwood
While the Rainbow becomes sleaze-rock central on Sunday, the Viper Room offers a show to complement the proceedings. Like Little Caesar, Junkyard are one of those bands that were kicking around Hollywood in the '80s but didn't have a whole lot in common with the big hair bands. Rather, Motörhead and Twisted Sister were reference points — fast and heavy hard rock that was more interested in sledgehammer riffs than Aqua Net. It was all denim and motorbikes with these guys, and in 2018, armed with a new record deal through Acetate Records, they still kick ass live and the latest, High Water, is up there with their best. A quick trot between the Viper and the Rainbow might be in order. The Sahns and Bastard Saints also play. —Brett Callwood
mon 9/3
Whether you know her because of her Def Jam albums VII and K.T.S.E., or because of her turns in movies such as Stomp the Yard: Homecoming, Madea's Big Happy Family or, more recently, Honey: Rise Up and Dance, Teyana Taylor has had an undeniable impact on popular culture over the past few years. Every blogger, tabloid and gossip site seems intent on catching Taylor doing something paparazzi-worthy, but ultimately we're talking about a singer, actress, model and dancer who has been successful at everything she's turned her attention to. K.T.S.E. only dropped in June of this year; she took a break after her 2014 debut to focus on family and her acting. It's great that she's back in the music game, and this show at the Observatory should be fantastic. —Brett Callwood
LOS ANGELES STATE HISTORIC PARK
Like his older brother Femi Kuti, singer-saxophonist Seun Kuti inherited a lot from their legendary father, Fela Kuti. Both sons were schooled in the funky rhythmic intricacies of their dad's tight Afrobeat music, but they also developed their consciences to incorporate Fela's political activism and outspokenness in their own music. Seun also carries on the tradition of Fela's old band Egypt 80, which features many of the same musicians who toured with Fela — and who also had to struggle against the harassment and corrupt practices of Nigeria's military and police, which did everything they could to censor Fela's music. Seun Kuti shares with Bob Marley the ability to create madly intoxicating music that's simultaneously joyful and energetic even as it's layered with inspirational messages of freedom. This show is presented by Zebulon, where it was originally scheduled to be. —Falling James
THE THEATRE AT ACE HOTEL
"Take a hit, shoot me down, shoot me down," Bishop Briggs intones like a mantra on "White Flag," from her debut album, Church of Scars. "Playing dead, I'll never do," she promises, and the lyric isn't a typical pop-star boast, as the British-American singer makes the simple act of singing a song feel like an act of rebellion. While the arrangements on Church of Scars occasionally veer into mainstream-pop artifice, the restless, ambitious spirit of Bishop Briggs, née Sarah Grace McLaughlin, balances out the producers' more commercial instincts. Unlike many modern pop divas, Briggs doesn't need a small army of professional songwriters to smooth out the edges of her music — she wrote the entire album on her own. That trust in her own vision fuels the intensity of "Hallowed Ground," a gospel-tinged anthem that's both reverential and provocative. —Falling James
British band Killing Joke have been around for so long now, and broken so many boundaries, that they've gone full circle from post-punk and back again, taking in industrial rock, goth and just about everything else in between. Jaz Coleman remains one of the best and most mysterious frontmen that rock & roll has ever offered, and that's saying a hell of a lot. Every single album that Killing Joke released in the 1980s was tremendous, and the eight that they put out after that have also been worth a listen. At the end of the day, when Coleman is crooning and whooping on it, with talent like Geordie Walker and Youth backing him up, it's at least going to be interesting. The band has a bit of a reputation for canceling tours/shows, so keep your fingers crossed that we'll get to bask in their glory this time. —Brett Callwood
Saul Williams
FORD AMPHITHEATRE
As the writer of such poetry collections as Said the Shotgun to the Head and provocative albums like The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust! and Volcanic Sunlight, Saul Williams has always been unafraid of using his rich flow of words to raise big questions rather than paint pretty portraits. The singer-poet-rapper isn't just a high-level wordsmith who boldly raises issues of race and power; he's also a mellifluous musician who weaves his lyrics into ever-changing, adventurous sonic tapestries, both on his own recordings and in his widely varied collaborations with Janelle Monáe, Nine Inch Nails, A Tribe Called Red, Sage Francis, John Cale, Lyrics Born and Zack de la Rocha. Tonight, this wise soothsayer-prophet transplants his words from NGH WHT (The Dead Emcee Scrolls), a collaboration with composer Thomas Kessler, into new settings framed by chamber group The Mivos Quartet. —Falling James
Phoenix have had a couple of triumphant Los Angeles shows celebrating their latest, well-received full-length, Ti Amo, headlining the Hollywood Bowl last summer and headlining Shawn White's Air + Style Festival this past March. The much-loved French foursome return, this time for a five-night residency at the Fonda Theatre (Sept. 6-7 and 10-12). These are not your run-of-the-mill gigs, however, as Phoenix promise to make it "Speciale" with their personal unique touches. Among these are gelato flavors concocted by the group, Delicious Pizza, Phoenix sake and Italian cocktails, Phoenix's own vending machine and limited-edition merchandise. These residencies have worked well for the group, which did similar runs in their native Paris in May and in Brooklyn in July. Considering Phoenix are Los Angeles' adopted French sons, and seeing them in a venue this size is a super-bonus, it will be special indeed. —Lily Moayeri

Few details exist about what happened or how quickly the issue at fault can be resolved. The FAA and Boeing have been working together to find a resolution, and Boeing plans on releasing a software update to their Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), which many believe caused the two incidents.
One aspect of the Boeing's story investors have really begun to appreciate, outside of the 737 MAX, is their increasing market share in the maintenance market. Boeing estimates their market size over the next 10 years to be over $2.8 trillion, growing around 3.5% per year. Hopefully, Boeing can continue to grab additional market share in this category.
From a valuation perspective, Boeing is trading at 18.5x 2019 and 16x 2020's earnings consensus and about 12.5x enterprise value to profit (EV/EBITDA). These valuations appear attractive to long-term valuations, but investors should have a long-time horizon and carefully consider their position size relative to their portfolio to help manage uncertainty relating to the 737 MAX 8 issue.

An artistic courthouse
July 9, 2020 § Leave a comment
The Mural Room of the Santa Barbara County Courthouse.
By LYNDA MILLNER
Nature intervened in 1925 with a giant earthquake, which struck down the Santa Barbara County Courthouse and the Hall of Records. A $700,000 bond was passed, but expenses went up to almost $1.4 million. Now what? A stroke of luck. The Rio Grande Oil Co. struck oil at Ellwood, west of Santa Barbara. Revenue from the oil tax paid for the rest of the courthouse. And amazingly it was finished just two months before the stock market crash in 1929.
The Mural Room has never been a courtroom, but was the meeting place for the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors until the 1960s. Now the Mural Room is used for weddings, ceremonies, parties and the like.
Artist Dan Groesbeck wasn't given many instructions except to paint the history of Santa Barbara on all four walls. He had two helpers and was paid $9,000. It took them four months.
He began with the Canalinos Indians watching Juan Cabrillo landing near Santa Barbara in 1542. Then in 1602 along came Vizcaino, a Spanish explorer and mapmaker. He arrived on December 4, which was Saint Barbara's feast day, hence our name and claim of the territory for Spain.
The next part of the mural is when Mexico was independent of Spain, beginning in 1822 and lasting only until 1846, when Captain John Fremont descended through San Marcos Pass and claimed Santa Barbara for the United States.
The third wall portrays what makes Santa Barbara's economic engine run. First came minerals: oil, silver and diatomaceous earth. Next came cattle: thousands, giving hides and tallow until the big drought in the 1800s. Lastly agriculture: strawberries, broccoli and grapes, grapes, grapes.
On the same wall there is a painting of California's symbol, the grizzly bear. Peeking out from around a tree is a young boy with a pixie hat depicting Peter Pan. What did he have to do with Santa Barbara? At the time a film company was out on one of the islands filming the story of Peter Pan, silent and in black and white.
The back wall shows the Chumash Indians working on the Santa Barbara Mission — the fourth since 1786, when our mission was 10th in a line of 21 in California. The signature in the bottom left-hand corner is a forgery. After Groesbeck was paid and on his way to Europe, they discovered the mural was unsigned. Upon being asked to return and sign his work, he said: "No. Just have someone do it." And so they did.

The Santa Barbara County Courthouse, with its distinctive clock tower.
'The grandest ever built'
By RAY McDEVITT
Santa Barbara is one of the 27 original counties and the City of Santa Barbara has always been the county seat. By the 1870s, the Anglo political and economic ascendancy had become evident in architecture as well. The 1875 courthouse designed by Peter Barber, in a restrained classical style, was welcomed in part because it represented such a decisive break with the Hispanic past.
At the turn of the century, however, changing fashions led to a new appreciation of the provincial Spanish adobes now becoming scarcer. After World War I, interest in reclaiming the city's Spanish architectural heritage intensified. The old courthouse, though a distinctive piece of architecture when built in 1875, had been outgrown by the 1920s. But no real progress was made in planning for its replacement until matters were brought to a head in 1925 when it was severely damaged by a powerful earthquake.
The board of supervisors commissioned William Mooser Co. Architects, the oldest architectural firm in the state, having been founded in 1854, to develop plans for a courthouse in harmony with the Spanish origins of the county. William Mooser Jr., son of the founder, was an accomplished architect. His son, William Mooser III, a graduate of the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris who had lived for 17 years in France and Spain, returned from Europe to assist his father.
They succeeded beyond all expectations. Architectural historian David Gebhard assessed the Santa Barbara courthouse as "certainly the public monument from the 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival in California." Charles Moore, in The City Observed, deemed it "the grandest Spanish Colonial Revival structure ever built." Harold Kirker praised it as "a beautifully integrated structure . . . sensitively related to a vast sunken garden of stone terraces and half century old pines, palms and redwoods. The courthouse is equally impressive from every vantage point and is rich in wit, fantasy and surprises. It is a treasure house of architectural and decorative devices — archways, towers and loggias; tiled walls, vaults and floors; wrought-iron grills, balconies and landings — in which nothing is repeated or exactly alike."

To gather information on computer security incidents for public consumption is always a difficult task. Companies tend to keep any information on these secret, especially on severe incidents, due to the fear of losing reputation and trust. In this regard all companies that have to provide secure and reliable services (as banks, insurance companies or security consultants) are even more unwilling to give away any information.
Even if information is made available, privacy issues always have to be taken into consideration. So any released data has to be filtered for information about any individual or any further vulnerability of the affected systems. The process of filtering out information is complex and costly. And in the end after this process very often there is hardly any valuable information left or absolutely nothing left to be published at all.
Inspite of these problems there are a few sources on the internet that give valuable information, and specifically addresses the important question, how costly an incident might be.
This study, published in 1998, was funded by the Chief Information Officers of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), the academic consortium of the Big Ten universities plus the University of Chicago. The study was conducted by Virginia Rezmierski and a team of researchers at the University of Michigan. The thirteen CIC schools participated. The objective of the study was to design a cost-analysis model for IT-related incidents and to gather and analyze a sample of such incidents. The following incidents were analyzed.
This follow-up study, published in 2000, was funded by the USENIX Association and had two primary objectives. The first objective was to refine the costing model for calculating user costs for IT-related incidents. The second objective was to investigate the availability of incident frequency data and incident categorization schemes. The study was led by Virginia Rezmierski and researchers at the University of Michigan and involved data collection from the thirteen CIC schools and five other universities. The following incidents were analyzed.
Be Aware of MP3 Sites!
On the basis of the ICAMP studies, JANET-CERT also prepared some case studies on the costs of incidents. The information is available from their web site.

A flexible hybrid structure electroluminescent (HSEL) device was fabricated from ZnS:Cu phosphor microparticles dispersed in a UV-curable polymer matrix. We observed a maximum luminance of 111 cd/m2 at 10 kHz and 170 V from a device wherein the mixing ratio between the phosphor particles and highly dielectric polymer binder was 70:30 wt%. Furthermore, by uniformly dispersing highly dielectric BaTiO3 nanoparticles within the polymer matrix, we were able to obtain a luminance of up to 211 cd/m2 in the HSEL device. Compared to the conventional thermal curing process, this UV process greatly simplifies the fabrication steps by combining phosphors and dielectric materials at room temperature. This process also demonstrates a promising pathway toward creating flexible and printed EL devices in the future.

Claude Painter
Claude James Painter, 80, moved on to his Eternal Home with the Lord surrounded by his loving family on Thursday, Aug. 5, 2021, in Jacksonville, Fla. He was born in Hillman, Mich., October 14, 1940. He is survived by his wife and the love of his life, Esther May (Holiday); children Donita Dianne (Painter) and Joshua Manning, Eric Kyle and Anna (Anya Michaelovna Khozyainova) Painter, and Deanne Kristin (Painter) and Brian David Roes; grandchildren Alexander Mack Roes, Brendan Gabriel Roes, Audrey Kathryn Roes, Safiya Constance Painter, Naya Orliyah Painter and Nikita Liam Marcus Painter. He is also survived by sisters Lois (Harold) Sanford and Carolyn (Al) Cleveland, as well as several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by sons Marcus Waring and Soren Eric, as well as his parents, James and Carol Painter. Claude's life was about loving God through service. As head of the greeting ministry at Beth Israel Messianic Synagogue in Jacksonville, Fla., he was usually at the door welcoming members and visitors. For many, their first memory of Claude, in his bright suspenders and ties, is inviting them in with his warm and inviting smile. He further connected people by opening up the Shalom Center and making coffee for a fellowship time after the weekly service. He was a frequent backup singer on the worship teams, including his children's. And he always showed up on work days, tools in hand. At Congregation Shema Yisrael in Rochester, N.Y., he served nearly 20 years as Elder, heads of the tape/CD and greeting ministries, and bookkeeper of the Fig Tree Bookstore, which was managed by Esther. And he always showed up on work days, tools in hand. Before this, he served in various leadership and service roles in the churches he attended. As a young man, he sang bass in quartets and with Rochester Youth For Christ's Joy Singers for a decade. He also loved God by loving people. He was the neighborhood handyman, and frequently just went and mowed neighbors' lawns. He bought books to pass on to those he felt needed them. He would purchase a gift, pass out a few bucks, help with a task or give a kind word, all to encourage someone. Through this, Claude became like a father to many. And of course, he was there with whatever his children and grandchildren needed: attending recitals, concerts and sports events, babysitting, and fixing or building something. Claude loved to build, his greatest achievement being remodeling his New York house, himself, room by room, from the studs up. In recent years he built picnic tables using his innovative design. He loved to garden, and had a beautiful micro-citrus grove in his backyard. During his life, he raised dairy goats and black sheep and was skilled in machine knitting. He loved to write poetry and hymns and translate Hebrew songs into English. He was well-known and loved for sharing stories from his life, which culminated with his writing an autobiography this past year. During his professional life, he was a school teacher and computer programmer. He also served in the Air Force as a linguist stationed in Japan, during which time he learned Russian and Japanese. Viewing and visitation held 9-11 a.m. Friday, Aug. 13, at Naugle Funeral Home (1203 Hendricks Ave. Jacksonville, FL 32207). A United States Military Graveside Service will follow from 12:30-1 p.m. at the Jacksonville National Cemetery (4083 Lannie Rd., Jacksonville, FL 32218). In lieu of flowers, the family has established the Claude Painter Memorial Fund to support his wife, Esther, during future life transitions. Contributions can be made at: .

Stunningly written, deep, and profoundly affecting the innermost recesses of the heart. Can be read and re-read meditatively, pondered. Provoking the soul to yearn for ever greater closeness and comprehension of the Christ Whose face is the image of God. Short-circuits the devotion to inferior passions that consume even believers (especially in the prosperous western culture)…in favor of the apprehending greatest treasure of the universe, the most soul-enrapturing gift to mankind–God, Himself.

Minimum FICO Score: 600
Typical Terms: 36 months - 120 months
The following loans are for education purposes only. They do not represent actual loans executed by Grand Coast Capital Group.
Ben finds a townhouse in Boston, MA to rehab and resell. Since he does not have enough cash to purchase the $330,000 project outright, he decides to take out a fix-and-flip loan from Grand Coast Capital Group. The borrower will need to bring 15% of the sales price in cash to the closing based on a 85% loan to value set by the lender. This makes the principle note from Grand Coast Capital Group $280,500. The terms of the loan also include a four percent origination fee which is to be paid at the closing and a 18 month, interest-only note with a 14% rate of interest.
In accordance with the parameters of the deal, Ben will need to pay a $11,220 origination fee in addition to 15% of the sales price, or $49,500, since there is a 85% LTV. After the deal closes, he will have to pay Grand Coast Capital Group $3,273 in monthly interest fees, or 14% multiplied times $280,500 divided by 12 months in a year. Ben's plan is to complete the house within the 18 months and resell it for $478,500. If he succeeds he will earn a total profit of $78,375 ($478,500 sales price - $280,500 principle - $49,500 cash paid at closing - $11,220 origination points - $58,905 in total interest paid.
Darren finds a house in Boston, MA to renovate and sell. Because he does not have enough cash to buy the property outright, he takes a fix and flip loan from Grand Coast Capital Group with the following parameters:
70% loan to value (LTV)
6 month term
13% interest rate
Darren intends to list the project at the end of the term for $345,000. If he achieves this goal, the outcome will be as follows:
- $10,465 interest payments (6 months x 13% interest)
= $99,705 total profit (doesn't include taxes or renovation costs)

Yes, That's Robin Givens as Doctor Phillips on THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL!
No, your eyes are not deceiving you — that's actress Robin Givens appearing as Dr. Phillips on THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL! Currently recurring as Mayor Sierra McCoy on the CW primetime drama RIVERDALE, Givens was hired to appear in a few episodes back in February and continued to make sporadic appearances every time Steffy visited the doctor for a checkup. And now with Hope also expecting her own bundle of joy, she's back to work again!
When Givens was first cast as Steffy's obstetrician, some fans worried that there could be complications with this miracle pregnancy, considering that Steffy wasn't supposed to be able to get pregnant anymore, but thankfully that was not the case. And when Steffy had to give birth earlier than anticipated, the doc was there to deliver the baby safely and save little Kelly's life. Hopefully, now that Liam is having another baby with Hope, this pregnancy will also go just as smoothly and Dr. Phillips will only have to appear for the occasional checkup and then again to deliver a healthy baby boy or girl!
Givens first hit it big on the ABC sitcom HEAD OF THE CLASS in 1986 and has also appeared in shows like THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR, 90210, and ONCE UPON A TIME. On the big screen, the actress has been in films such as Boomerang and A Rage in Harlem.
This isn't the first time that B&B has tapped a famous celeb for a cameo or short-term role. Just last year, Gilles Marini played a doctor and HAPPY DAYS star Don Most appeared as a handyman who tried to help Spectra Fashions with some electrical problems!
Check out some of the other familiar faces who have popped in to B&B for a visit in the gallery below! And for more B&B casting news, keep reading the CBS edition of Soaps In Depth!
Backstage Secrets of Hope and Taylor's Epic Cake Fight!
Legendary comedienne Phyllis Diller appeared as Sally Spectra's partner in crime, Gladys Pope, many times over the years.


What is the best\quickest way to get someone to a property and get some pics?? Google maps is 4 years old so need to make sure no recent forest fires, etc.
Another suggestion is to post in Facebook groups in the area of the property.
Stacey – As Victor says, advertise on CL near the area where you need photos. I know that some people (not me) have had luck with thumbtack. I usually offer $100 per parcel and I try to get photos of 4 or 5 parcels at a time if I can. This makes it a pretty good payday for the photographer. You can ask them to report on road conditions, terrain, wildlife, fire damage, etc. Even a bad picture is better than using only GE images for your ad. When you talk to a photographer ask him/her if they are familiar with GPS coordinates and how to use them. They may have trouble finding the property once they leave the paved roads.
One more thing that I did recently that worked great. After getting no response to my CL ads, I googled "land for sale in "smalltown" CA". I got a CL ad for land similar to mine. It looked like another investor. I went to his website and called him. We talked land for a bit and then he gave me the photographers name and number. The photographer was really good. Find those ads with nice pics and use the same photographer. I will be doing more of this in the future.
Thumbtack has worked well for me. Usually higher quality photographers with references or a body of work. CL and FB can work, but I've had some rough experiences with those. Thumbtack photogs were a bit more money, but the quality was much better, and usually much easier to work with. Get what you pay for.

Stream Brockhampton's New Album Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine
New Music April 9, 2021 12:02 AM By James Rettig
For a while there, it felt like Brockhampton would never slow down. Their 2017 trio of Saturation albums was quickly followed up by 2018's Iridescence and 2019's Ginger. There were some singles around this time last year but for the most part the rap boy band laid low.
Until a couple weeks ago when they put out the killer Danny Brown-featuring single "Buzzcut" and announced a new album, Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine, which — if group leader Kevin Abstract is to be believed — is one of two albums the band will be releasing this year and the last two albums they will release ever. We'll see if those bear out but for now, Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine is out. It features guest spots from A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg, Charlie Wilson, JPEGMAFIA, and more.
On Friday night, Brockhampton are performing a livestreamed record release show from Rubin's Shangri-La Studios. Tickets for that are available here. Listen to Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine below.
Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine is out now via Question Everything/RCA Records.

^ Yes, I got mine two days ago.
So it will be an automated interview apparently. Is this new?
anyone else for housing? I haven't heard yet.
I have applied for two positions, in one I can still see the withdraw buttom, while not in the other one, does this also happen to u?
Anyone got invite for office of the Secretary General?
It's a no for me for the housing policy position. bummer. good luck everyone!
Just got rejected for International Regulatory Co-operation.
Anyone got the invite for the Artificial Intelligence position??
Lol the OECD has a position on Artificial Intelligence?
Probably a scam, OECD staff are not very intelligent to start with, not talking about artificial intelligence!!
Yes received earlier this week - video interview.

Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonds in Hydroxy Acids.
deutsche Version.
© Copyright note.
Site-map.
-hydroxypropionic acid basically forms the same intramolecular interactions as glycolic acid: O-H···O=C, O-H···(CO)O-H, and (CO)O-H···O-H. The first of these interactions occurs in the global minimum, the geometry of which is shown next to this paragraph. In this conformer, the COOH group is coplanar with the plane of the three carbon atoms, and the aliphatic OH group sticks out of that plane and points towards the carbonyl oxygen atom. In the resulting interaction, the H···O-distance is slightly larger (2.30 Å) than in the corresponding conformer of glycolic acid. According to an analysis of the electron density, this interaction is not a hydrogen bond but electrostatic in nature.
The geometry of the conformer of second lowest energy, which is shown next to this paragraph, is characterized by a COOH group that is coplanar with the aliphatic OH group. The carbon atoms and are located above and below this plane, respectively. The O-H···O-H-interaction in this conformer is a true hydrogen bond, which is weak, however: the H···O distance is 2.15 Å and the bond order is 0.023. Hence, there is no stabilization associated with this H-bond: the relative energy of this conformer is 7.2 kJ/mol.
The (CO)O-H···O-H-interaction is a much stronger hydrogen bond with a bond order of 0.062 and a H···O-distance of 1.84 Å; this value is significantly lower than the one in the corresponding conformer of glycolic acid (1.97 Å), which would indicate a stronger H-bond. The kinetic stability, however, is lower than in glycolic acid: the smallest potential barrier is 27 kJ/mol and can be found in two different reaction paths (with almost identical values). The first of these reaction paths corresponds to the conversion of this conformer to its mirror image, the second corresponds to a combined rotation of the COOH- and the aliphatic OH-group and results in a conformer that is identical with the global minimum, except for the trans-orientation of the COOH group. The potential energy surface of -hydroxypropionic acid contains a total of 16 symmetry-unique conformers. Seven out of these 16 are lower in energy than this H-bonded conformer (Erel=16.7 kJ/mol), which is another indication for the minor stabilization due to the hydrogen bond. A numerical estimate confirms this by yielding a stabilization energy of 36.6 kJ/mol for -hydroxypropionic acid, but 54.4 kJ/mol for glycolic acid.

Is the DVX100b going to have any kind of rebate? My guess is no but it doesn't hurt to ask. Did the 100A have any type of rebate when it first came out? Like many people I am weighing whether or not or not to buy the 100A with the great rebate or wait for the 100b. From the sound of things it doesn't seem like I can go wrong either way.
Barry_Green
There was no rebate on the DVX100A when it first came out. In fact, the DVX100A cost $200 more than the DVX100 did.
I would certainly not expect there to be any rebate on the 100B when it first becomes available.

Well, "need" is a strong word. If you were choosing between a Sony FX1 (with its native 16:9 chips) or a 4:3-chip DVX100A (in 25p/thin/squeeze), which do you think will produce the better, higher-res image for your standard-def broadcast?
If you're talking about shooting 50i, then yes, the FX1 would have the advantage clearly. But if you're shooting film-style 25p, the Squeeze-mode DVX is already directly competitive, just as high-resolution, and then offers all the other bonuses too (cinegamma, latitude, sensitivity etc).
If your goal is to get full-resolution 16:9 footage, with a filmlike feel, the DVX is already absolutely and thoroughly competitive. It already puts out images that are as high-res as that "native 16:9" camera does.*
As far as the US, I do believe you're right on that -- looks like we're not even going to bother with 16:9 SDTVs. I doubt we'll ever see a 16:9 standard-def broadcast in the US.
*granted the DVX/Squeeze isn't as high-res as an XL2 in 24p/NORM/16:9, but then again that mode threatens to introduce interlace line flicker/twitter. The DVX/Squeeze delivers as much resolution as an interlaced television can handle without twitter.
I can't believe you said that, Barry (even if it's a long time ago)...
the BBC won't even accept it for broadcasting...
Can't speak for the BBC. Over here there are no 16:9 broadcasts in standard-def so it's a non-issue.
But I'm curious which part you can't believe. I stand by everything I said there...
Jarred Land

actually there are quite a few shows that broadcast 16:9 via letterbox at SD on 4:3 televisions. For example, NBC broadcasts ER, Westwing and Conan O'brian all in 16:9 letteboxed format.
Letterboxed 4:3, yes. But the broadcast is 4:3.
No 16:9 signal is broadcast anywhere in the US (except for HD, of course).
actually, that is incorrect. Fox broadcasts many shows in what it calls EDTV widescreen.. mostly over Satellite but that still counts as broadcasting. It is a true 16:9 squeeze.

And Conan is shot HD.. it's only aired letterboxed on the SD feed (duh)
..Interestingly enough, Leno is also shot HD, but it's aired as Pan&Scan on SD..it airs right before conan on the same network.. one P&S and the other Letterbox.. go figure.

yes.. and a few weeks ago Letterman also finally switched to 16:9, and HD for what its worth. There is no question that 16:9 and HD is the future, and its coming a little faster than alot of people thought it would.
(methinks Jarred aimed that at me)
Hey, may be faster than some people thought it would, but the FCC approved high-def broadcasts 9 years ago. So here we are 9 years later, and I'd say about 1/2 of 1% of the broadcasts on television are originated in and broadcast in high-def.
Drives me batty -- I'm watching the US Open today in standard-def, and it just looks AWFUL compared to the high-def broadcast yesterday! I sure wish they'd get on with a transition. But there are 600 million televisions in the world, and it's going to be years and years before even the majority of programs are broadcast in high-def (and by that I don't mean up-rezzed SD, which also looks awful).
wasn't directed to you, even though i know your hanging onto SD for awhile
A few things, First the FCC approved hi-def 9 years ago.. when a hi-def camera cost over a million dollars. At that point it would be like networks switching to Imax to shoot everything, there was no delivery methods, no HD televisions, no HD cable or Satellite. So yeah, sure it took 9 years but in the last 2 years you must admit its been a huge turn to HD... now that people can afford to shoot with it, and afford to view it.
And as for 1/2 of 1%.. i think that's a little exaggerated. I mean NBC has 90% of its prime time lineup shot with HD.
American Dreams, Saturday Night Live,Last Call With Carson Daly, Crossing Jordan, ER, Las Vegas, Law & Order, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and The West Wing, Medium, Revelations, Joey, and pretty much everything else, All HD, either from HD native or from 35mm.
today, its pretty hard to buy a big screen Television that isn't HDTV capable. So, i don't know about years and years, I think in the next couple years almost all Television will be broadcast in hi-def, and in our territories it will probably be shortly after that most TV's are hi-def.
Are most HDTVs in the US 720 or 1080 native? I am yet to see a 1080 HDTV in the shops in the UK.
http://www.mikemarriage.com
NBC shoots a lot of HD, yes. But I'm talking overall. If you subscribe to DirecTV, you have a choice of about 235 channels. 15 of them are high-def. That's about 6%. Same with cable TV. And most of those HD channels are the broadcast networks, and other than prime-time there's very, very, very little HD on those broadcast networks.
So, okay, you're right, 1/2 of 1% was too low, it's really about 6% overall, but if you look at it from the perspective of at-any-given-time-is-there-HD-on-this-channel, I doubt my 1/2 of 1% guess is too far off.
The major networks are doing better with their percentage, and very few of the cable channels are airing any sort of HD.
I think about 5 years from now, HD will have some serious market penetration.
I think in the next couple years almost all Television will be broadcast in hi-def
It depends on what you mean by "all television". Last I checked, there are lots of times where more people are tuning in to cable shows than into network broadcasts. And somewhere around 0% of cable networks are broadcasting HD.
If you define the % of broadcasts as the odds that whatever channel you turn to will have a high-def broadcast on it, I think it's going to be a *LOT* longer than 2 years before that transition is made! Maybe in 10 years. I think 2 years from now HD will be fairly common on the four big networks, yes. But the overwhelmingly vast majority of programming sent to people's homes will still be standard-def.
today, its pretty hard to buy a big screen Television that isn't HDTV capable
True; but how many of them actually have tuners? Lots and lots of people who have HDTVs have no way to watch any sort of HD on them! There's "HD Capable", "HD Ready", and "HD Built-In" after all... ;)
even though i know your hanging onto SD for awhile
Nope -- I can't stand SD. I'm converting to entirely HD by the end of this year. I'd pull the plug on SD today if I thought I could get away with it (and I'd also eliminate interlacing and tape while I was at it!) But like I say, just because you and I may prefer something, that doesn't mean it's going to happen...

Du Mu (杜牧, pinyin: Dù Mù; Chang'an 803 - 852) escritor chino de la dinastía Tang. Poeta lírico a menudo inspirado por cortesanas, se servía de la Historia para hablar de su época.

Aprobó el examen jinshi en 827 y ocupó varios puestos oficiales, pero nunca llegó a tener un alto cargo a causa de sus enemigos.

Tuvo mucho éxito en las modalidades poéticas shi, fu y en antigua prosa china. Escribió también grandes poemas narrativos, un comentario en el Arte de la guerra y varias cartes oficiales a altos cargos. Estuvo muy influenciado por Du Fu, Li Bai, Han Yu y Liu Zongyuan.

Se le suele asociar con otro poeta, Li Shangyin como los llamados Pequeños Li Du (小李杜), en contraste con los Grandes Li Du: Li Bai y Du Fu.

Миха́йлівка— село в Україні, у Золотоніському районі Черкаської області, підпорядковане Драбівській селищній громаді. Розташоване на лівому березі річки Золотоношці за 5 км від центру громади — смт Драбів та за 16 км від залізничної станції Драбове-Барятинське. Населення — 1 059 чоловік (на 2009 рік).

Історія
Наприкінці XVII століття золотоніський козак оселив над річкою хутір і продав його сотнику Трохиму Шафару. Після смерті сотника цей хутір у спадщину перейшов до його дочок Агафії (по чоловіку Михайлиха Ружицька) і Марії. Свій хутір вони продали генеральші М. Кантакузіній за 300 карбованців. Ім'я Михайла Ружицького так і збереглося за хутором, а потім за селом. Пізніше селом Михайлівкою володів київський полковник Юхим Дараган. У 1762 році Василь Дараган (син полковника) передав Михайлівку своїй сестрі Катерині, яка вийшла заміж за Івана Галагана і в придане передала йому Михайлівку. На пам'ять про сина Павла Григорій Галаган збудував у Києві колегію під назвою «Колегія Павла Галагана», відписавши на її утримання маєток «Михайлівський». У 1889 році на кошти Галагана було відкрито початкову школу.

Селище є на мапі 1826-1840 років.

У селі не пізніш 1856 року  була Троїцька церква

Село постраждало внаслідок геноциду українського народу, проведеного окупаційним урядом СССР 1923-1933 та 1946-1947 роках.

На фронтах Радянсько-німецької війни воювали 231 житель села, з них 152 нагороджені орденами й медалями Радянського Союзу. В пам'ять про 136 односельців, загиблих у боях проти гітлерівців, та воїнам, що полягли, звільняючи село, споруджено пам'ятник Слави.

Станом на 1972 рік в селі мешкало 1 178 чоловік, на території села містилася садиба колгоспу ім. Чапаєва, що мав в користуванні 3,4 тисяч га землі, у тому числі 2,9 тисяч га орної. Напрям господарства був зерново-буряковий з розвинутим м'ясо-молочним тваринництвом.

На той час у селі працювали  восьмирічна школа, де навчаєлося  179 учнів, будинок культури на 450 місць, 2 бібліотеки з книжковпм фондом 14,6 тисяч примірників, 2 фельдшерсько-акушерські пункти, 2 дитячих ясел, 2 магазини.

Сучасність
У селі функціонують: ЗОШ І-ІІ ступенів, Будинок культури, дитяча дошкільна установа «Сонечко», Філія районної бібліотеки, фельдшерсько-акушерський пункт, поштове відділення, ТОВ Баришівська зернова компанія відділення імені Чапаєва, ФГ «Наташа», ФГ «Темп», ФГ «Валентина», два продовольчі магазини і кафе-бар приватних підприємців.

Пам'ятки
 Тарасова криниця — гідрологічна пам'ятка природи місцевого значення.

Відомі люди
В селі народився Ластовський Максим Онопрійович (* 20 травня 1905 — † 1 червня 1988) — Герой Радянського Союзу.

В Михайлівці народилась Праведниця народів світу Шулежко Олександра Максимівна (1903—1994), вихователька дитячого притулку, яка врятувала від смерті і голоду 102 безпритульних дітей під час німецької окупації Черкас.

One of the trends that I have noticed in some fiction is to have characters that are married or mature as the main characters. I am loving this! I am not sure if that is my age showing, but it is wonderful to have characters that we can relate to. Ms. Hauck weaves a tale of the past mingled with the future. When the past and the future meet, the lessons they all learn are ones that will touch you in your walk with the Lord.

Throughout history, each new invention was met with trepidation by the people of the earth. The car was not accepted, the telephone, or the internet. "New-fangled ideas" as they were referred to, were often shunned by some Christian groups and still are to this day.
The Amish ride in cars and use telephones, but have many rules about how and when. Some conservative Mennonites refuse to conduct business online as it violates their beliefs, yet will use the telephone and mail without any hinderances.
I would like to talk about a different tool. This tool can be used for good or evil. Just as the phone can be used for good or for evil or a hammer, this one is no different.
This tool is Facebook. It is a method of networking and communication. If you have friends that are not the best in real life, it is highly probable, your friends on Facebook will likely not all be the best as well.
It is supposed to be a glimpse of a picture inside a person's life. It can show their likes, dislikes, what pages they enjoy and where they like to eat. While we grimace and talk about "Big Brother Watching", we also have to admit that it often can make life easier.
The fact remains that Facebook can be a valuable tool.
It can be harmful in the wrong hands, but for the most part it is a valuable tool.
When someone is harmed by a hammer, we do not blame the hammer. We blame the person wielding the hammer. But when someone has an affair, we blame Facebook. Obviously, connecting with others in our past opens us up to temptation and sin. We should avoid communicating with those in our past or we may be tempted to have an affair, (said tongue in cheek).
The facts are simple. Facebook doesn't cause anyone to have affairs anymore than the hammer caused the man to hit another man on the head with it. It is simply a tool in the hands of users.
I was witness to the overall amazing way Facebook can minister to others last week. I saw how through mutual acquaintances, people connected and bonded. Many people only saw inspiring posts my friend shared on her wall, funny things her sister did and interesting posts she shared. Her life was laid out on the table for all to see, but most had seen beyond what was on her Facebook wall. Her heart was one for all to see.
Facebook was simply the tool used to leave it as a display for others. Her life was one of ministry, worship and humor. Above all, she had a love for others and for God. She was not perfect, and had her quirks, but you knew that she was a light.
How does your life show through on your Facebook wall? Are you using the tool for showing a glimpse of your life to the world in the way you should? Are you rejecting communicating with others for fear of what is there?
When the Christmas season finds Eden in Summer Harbor, Maine, she's on the run from trouble. Romance is the last thing on her mind.
Riding in a bus in the thickly falling snow, Eden Davis wonders how it ever came to this—fleeing under cover of night with young Micah sleeping fitfully in the seat beside her. When a winter storm strands them in Summer Harbor, Maine, Eden wonders if what might have been the end could be a new beginning.

He soon figures out she comes with a boatload of secrets. But Beau can't seem to help himself from falling for her.
As Christmas Eve approaches, Beau discovers he'll do anything to keep Eden safe. But who's going to protect his heart from a woman who can't seem to trust again?
I think Denise Hunter is just getting better and better with every book. This story is one of a bit of suspense and intrigue, but with deep truths about a mother's love and protection of her child. I loved how it did not shy away from the truth of forgiveness, but at the same time, acknowledged the real life that you have to separate from dangerous people.
The lack of communication is throughout this story, which is considerably like real life. It frustrates you, yet you long to see the resolution. I will be looking for and purchasing each one of the books in this series.

This is a highly unusual book and story. Our heroine is very young when the story begins and while this book is fiction, a tale is told that rivals non-fiction stories of survivors that I have read from this time period. It is not graphic, but detailed without as much of the horror. You see the story though the eyes of a child in the beginning. In the middle, a young woman and in the end, a woman. While there is a romantic story line that completes this book, that is not the focus of the story. This is a wonderful book, about the means of survival that many refugees, Holocaust survivors, orphans and others experienced during WW2 and even today.
I enjoyed the unique voice the author gave to Gretl as well as to Jakob. It was highly unusual and deep writing. If you enjoy a book that will make you think and dig into history, pick this one up!
I have amazing brothers and sisters. I don't know what I would do without them. There are not words enough to describe how much I was blessed with the cream of the crop when it came to siblings.
But God sometimes gives you friends that are like a sibling. A little over 18 years ago, I met such a friend. She was about 10 years old, and not the age you would think when looking for a friend. Her mother is this beautiful person, who took a young mother under her wing and encouraged me through the early years of parenting. Her young daughter came alongside me, and cheered me on so to speak.
Tiffany Anderson was smart, funny, and spunky. We could be honest with one another, but sometimes it took work when she was younger to pull out what she was thinking. As she got older, this got easier for her, especially with texting and FB messages.
But when we lived together, she would be the one to come and rock the babies, wash my dishes, and help me clean out my nasty "fridge". (A hole in the floor, moist to keep cool, but a habitat for fungi. I am not sure who thought that was the best idea.) Life was not always easy for us.
When my husband would go on a work hunting expedition, or to visit his parents, Tiffany would come and stay overnight with me. It became our tradition, she would "take care of me". Fred had gotten a job working nights, and so Tiffany came to stay the night. In the morning, the baby, H. started crying and needed changing. I did not want to wake up Fred, so I hurried down the stairs a bit too fast. I fell, breaking a bone in my foot. Tiffany woke up and came to my rescue and went to fetch a wet cloth to ease the pain and swelling. I will never forget because she ran back into the house like her hair was on fire, a dripping rag leaving a trail behind her. She had seen some of the other men of the community coming down the boardwalk and realized suddenly that she was in her nightgown!
Some of the other children and cousins in the community.
After we moved away, our visits were limited, but Tiffany still managed to minister to us from afar. I was reminded of this by this picture of P.'s my oldest 5th birthday. His aunts and uncles were away, but sent gifts, including one from Tiffany, a little build it yourself birdhouse. He loved that thing!
It might be hard to read, but it says about how Tiffany sent the birdhouse. It was the little things that meant so much.
This year, we got to talk a lot more with the advent of FB in her life! It was so much fun.
I got this message back in July from her and to me, it just spoke of how she was just the best friend and encourager.
"Have to get ready for work, but just wanted to stop and tell you that you are a beautiful, loving, godly woman, an amazing mother, and a faithful, trustworthy wife. Like in Proverbs 31. And… a wonderful friend!!! I love you, Martha!
It makes me cry to read that, but as I go through my house and see the little things she sent me, the picture of her smiling face on my corner shelf or the cute purse she gave me recently, I choke up. But it is the words she gave me, encouraging me to go throughout my day and give it my best.
I see her love for my boys throughout the years and the joy that she brought to my life will never be forgotten. I loved seeing what she was doing with her life. I so enjoyed hearing how much she loved her parents, her little sisters and how she missed her big sister that lived far away. I am so going to miss hearing her voice, seeing her words, and knowing that I can't tell you about the cute shoes I found, or the new haircut I got.
Tiffany, thanks for being my friend. Thank you for loving me even though you knew me better than many do. Thank you for teaching me about what love is. I am really going to miss you, little sister.
As the host of her own television news show, Faith Marin works to expose the truth for her viewers. But in her personal life, she's anchored her world with firm boundaries in order to hide a family history she'd like to forget. Her pro bass fisherman husband Geary's life is an open book, and unfortunately his busybody family doesn't know the meaning of boundaries. Deception and crippling differences soon derail their tender relationship, leading Faith to believe her only option is to end the marriage. But while Faith considers whether divorce is the only answer to their issues, tragedy strikes and her heartrending decision is interrupted. With her life in the balance, Faith finds that the one she has been shutting out may be the very one she cannot bear to lose.
Kellie Coates Gilbert takes readers on an emotional roller coaster as she weaves themes of unexpected trial, self-discovery, and forgiveness in this profoundly honest portrait of the tensions that can break a marriage–and the ultimate healing power of love.
This book was solidly written. However, the twists of going back and forth between past and present was slightly irritating. I would have liked a bit less of the back and forth. The story was good, but I felt her husband, while demonstrated as this amazing guy, was… well, I don't want to spoil it for you. I felt like that it demonstrated well, the conflict between husband's and wives that happen, even when they love each other very much. It would be a good one to read with older teens that are considering marriage and discuss communication, in law relationships and issues that could have been prevented before the marriage and after the fact.
This book also discussed a traumatic brain injury and the issues that can cause long term as well as adoption. I enjoyed it!

Entitlement…an issue with many faces.
Entitlement is a huge issue in our day. I think it has always been an issue, but has come to the forefront a lot more lately.
Recently, a discussion came up when a site that offered free downloadable charts for many years, decided to charge a membership. The woman has a vast amount of resources which she wrote, put together and offered for free. I always wondered how she could do it for free. However, when she began to change a reasonable fee for access, many commented that it was unfair. They have always been free, she should still offer them for free. How dare she do it without warning…etc.
We move on to the medical system. I am a doula. My services are not free, but they are very reasonably priced. However, for many that feel they want that fancy stroller system, extra nice car seat, and the hospital is covered by government insurance, why should they work to pay for a service? They have to be convinced of the value before realizing they want it. Often, sadly, this is their second baby when they realize they should have paid for it for the first. The complications, trauma and others that often happen without education and support are skyrocketing. Yet, we feel we deserve to have the best care, for free.
This past week, I had to deal with a local office on issues of property management. I realized after one week of getting a run around, lack of good info, and poor communication on their part that I had to address it. Shaking and nervous, I did. The woman was defensive, blamed me and the client, and refused to apologize or take any effort to even admit there was an issue. She felt entitled to her opinion. She was the agency with the power, or so she believed. It is hard to have to deal with entitled entities as well.
One though, that I often don't hear spoken about as much, comes to gift receiving.
I am sure by now, we have all been to weddings where the invite dictated, "Only cash or gift cards" with no viable reason for that, except that the receivers are particular and wish to do their own shopping perhaps. I will admit, those people receive paltry gifts from me. I feel that it is really crude and unseemly to dictate that.
We also have parents that I often see complain that relatives do not follow the list of prescribed gifts, or give too many gifts, or the like. I think one thing people often forget, is it is a gift.
It has nothing to do with the receiver. We, however, have chosen to believe that we can dictate. In this day and age of gift registries, (which should simply be suggestions or ideas), gift cards, and the like. We believe we have a right to dictate others actions. We feel entitled to the only things we allow.
We do have the right to reject a gift. Return it, trash it, give it away. The local thrift store would love brand new toys. Toys for Tots, or other needy families.
It should however, be a bigger lesson we can learn. Gratefulness. Thankfulness.
Our lives will hold more meaning if we stop trying to be entitled to dictate the actions of others, expect others to work for us for free, (but not do the same in return), or find peace in accepting what is given to us, even when we don't want it.
Lady Miranda Hawthorne acts every inch the lady, but inside she longs to be bold and carefree. Entering her fourth Season and approaching spinsterhood in the eyes of society, she pours her innermost feelings out not in a diary but in letters to her brother's old school friend, a duke–with no intention of ever sending these private thoughts to a man she's heard stories about but never met. Meanwhile, she also finds herself intrigued by Marcus, her brother's new valet, and although she may wish to break free of the strictures that bind her, falling in love with a servant is more of a rebellion than she planned.
I enjoyed this book, even though the tale seemed familiar.
I found the beginning was excellent, the middle lagged and the ending was good! Regency tends to move a little slower, with prim and proper ladies. This book had the less than proper lady that was always getting entangled into some sort of trouble.
The touches on seriousness, rejection and finding contentment without what you think you really want were all very good!
If you like regency fiction, this is a light, easy read you will enjoy.

She quickly settles back into life in Blessing, teaching Norwegian history in the high school and writing articles for the Blessing Gazette. When tragedy strikes, Anji steps in to run the newspaper and soon finds a kindred spirit in the widower who owns the printing press. As they spend time together, Anji wonders if there's something more than friendship growing between them.
But Anji has also caught the eye of a recent arrival to Blessing. He has put his carpentry skills to good use on the town's building projects, including Anji's house. But Anji is torn between her feelings of loyalty to someone who needs her and the chance to build a new life with this intriguing newcomer.
Where will her choice take her?
Book three in Streams of Blessing series, even though I have read all the previous books, I found myself a little confused by all the different story lines going on at once in here.
I did enjoy many things about this novel! One thing that was very educational was the history of diphtheria as well as the treatment they only had begun to have at that time.
The story felt like it ended on a note to make you want to read the next book, which is a good and bad thing, since the next book will not be coming out for awhile. The town of Blessing is growing and shrinking in this book, with small minor mysteries left throughout.
