Even though a marriage was not intended by Shree originally, He agreed to marry Jaganmata Sharda with the blessing of His uncle and spiritual mentor Gangadhar Maharaj. On 7 May 1939, the wedding was celebrated in the Guru Mandir. Jaganmata, fondly called Vahini, was a devoted companion to Shree. She always radiated great love, compassion and a pleasant modesty.
Two children emerged from the marriage between Shree and Vahini. In 1946, a daughter named Pushpa was born. On 24 September 1952, a son was born, who was named Shreekant. Both children were begotten in a spiritual way, as Shree assured His son. Shreekant later devoted Himself intensively to the work of his Father.
One day, on 24 February 1938, Shree heard an unknown, powerful voice in Guru Mandir reciting a 32-syllable mantra. This was repeated a total of three times. Shree was alone at that time, and He realized that Divine Power was initiating Him with the Krishna Shakti mantra. From then on, Shree repeated the mantra continuously.
Four years later, on 12 March 1942, an imposing sage-like figure, a tall, powerful frame, came into the Guru Mandir. He permitted Shree to recognize Him as Lord Parshuram, revealing to Him that He was the invisible Master who had given Him the mantra four years ago.
On this day, He initiated Shree with the Tripuri mantra and in a ceremony transferred special divine powers to Him (Siddhis).
Lord Parshuram is considered an eternal avatar who had already prepared Lord Rama and Lord Krishna for their great tasks. Budhha is known to have visited the "Bhargava Ashram." Bhargava is another name for Parshuram.
Lord Parshuram made a total of six pilgrimages with Shree. Most of them led to mystical places in the Himalayas, but also to South India. Other people did not know about it, because the trips lasted only a few hours. Shree later reported from the individual stations and how They came to the respective places with Their Siddha forces.
A few days later, Shree repeated the vow three times before Lord Parshuram and performed a ceremony. Shortly thereafter it was revealed to Him in Seven Verses how His vow was to be fulfilled - the Fivefold Path was given.
On Christmas Day, 25 December 1941, it was revealed to Shree that He had already worked as Rama, Krishna and Buddha, and was now incarnated as Son of Man. On the same day He came to know that the time had come for the unfolding of this knowledge.
On 21 December 1944, Shree received the revelation that He would complete the mission begun by Buddha (abolition of animal sacrifices) and revive the pure, nonviolent fire sacrifices.
On 4 January 1945, it was revealed to Shree that in His person Tvashta and Udgata were united. Tvashta is creation; Udgata means here its spreading. Thus Shree was informed that the spreading of the revived knowledge was also part of His task.
In a letter written in 1946, Shree drafted, "The 10 basic principles of Vedas", the Ten Commandments, as a guide on the path of development of man.
In 1950, Lord Parshuram appeared again in the Guru Mandir. Shree recited a special mantra in front of Him and proved His perfection of mantras. Lord Parshuram was very pleased with this. It is reported that Lord Parshuram, in the form of power, then entered into Shree. Shree became one with the highest Light and Supreme Power.

Texas hospitals prepare to administer Covid vaccine shots in less than three weeks
A worker passes a line of freezers holding coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccine candidate BNT162b2 at a Pfizer facility in Puurs, Belgium in an undated photograph.Pfizer | via Reuters
Texas is preparing to start administering the first Covid-19 immunization shots in less than three weeks — as soon as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration grants emergency approval to distribute Pfizer or Moderna's vaccine.
It's a gargantuan task for the second-most populated state in the nation. The coronavirus has swept across the Lone Star state after reopening its economy in May. It has confirmed more Covid-19 cases than any other state at roughly 1.2 million and has seen the second-most deaths behind New York, losing more than 21,000 Texans to the virus so far, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Hospitals in border cities like El Paso have been overwhelmed with cases, even bringing in extra morgue trucks to store the dead.
The state rolled out its vaccine allocation plan Monday, outlining who will get it first. Top priority is going to hospital employees and nursing home staff, EMTs, home health care workers and the state's most vulnerable residents. Gov. Greg Abbott said the state is prepared to distribute the vaccine as early as Dec. 12.
"We have known months in advance that the vials of the vaccine are already in place," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott told CNBC. "And those vials are ready to be sent to us the day after the emergency use authorization is provided."
VIDEO5:3905:39Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on coronavirus surge and what the state economy needsSquawk Box
Every state across the U.S. has submitted plans to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention covering how they will store and distribute a coronavirus vaccine.
However, the vaccine won't be shipped until it wins approval from the FDA for emergency use. Pfizer submitted its application for emergency clearance on Friday, and the FDA is expected to review it when the agency's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee next meets on Dec. 10. Moderna is expected to submit its application any day. So both vaccines could potentially get reviewed at the same time.
'We'll be ready'
The University of Texas at Austin is preparing to receive doses of a coronavirus vaccine as early as this week — just in case, chief clinical officer of UT Health Dr. Amy Young told staff on Friday, according to an email obtained by CNBC.
"I didn't expect to get vaccine so soon, frankly," Young said in an interview. "It's just about agility right now, frankly, and we may not get our vaccine until later, but we'll be ready for it whenever we get it."
The institution cannot receive or begin immunizing healthcare workers until the FDA clears the vaccine, Young said Saturday in a phone interview with CNBC. She's helping lead the University of Texas' vaccine distribution effort as vice dean of professional practice at the Dell Medical School in Austin.
"We anticipate that the vaccine that we will be administering will be from Pfizer and that we could receive vaccine as early as the end of next week, but more likely after Thanksgiving," she said in the email sent Friday to medical school staff and students.
U.S. Health Secretary Alex Azar said Pfizer isn't allowed to distribute its vaccine until the FDA has authorized it, which could happen in "just a few weeks."
"If all goes well, we could be distributing vaccine soon after December 10," Azar said at a press briefing Tuesday. "We believe we can distribute vaccine to all 64 jurisdictions within 24 hours of FDA authorization. Then we hope administration can begin as soon as the product arrives."
Pfizer is working with Texas, New Mexico, Tennessee and Rhode Island to n a pilot delivery program for its vaccine, which requires ultra-cold storage.
The pilot program, which was announced last week, is designed to work out kinks in the company's distribution system by transporting vials filled with saline solution before it starts shipping the actual vaccine, said company spokeswoman Kim Bencker.
"No actual vaccine is being released until the FDA issues an authorization or approval (beyond what we have been shipping for clinical trial use)," she told CNBC in an email.
Lara Anton, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of State Health Services, also said the timing of the vaccine shipments will depend on how quickly the FDA grants an emergency use authorization.
"Our understanding of the EUA process is that the FDA needs to get input from the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) prior to issuing an EUA," she said in a statement. That's the meeting scheduled for Dec. 10.
Ultra-cold freezers
Young said the details of its vaccine distribution program at the school are also still being hammered out.
Both Pfizer and Moderna's vaccines require two doses per person. Young said the university learned last week that it will first receive an allotment of the first doses, with the second allotment of booster shots to follow.
Because the medical school is a research institution, it already has the ultra-cold freezers needed for Pfizer's vaccine, which needs to be stored at minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit, Young said.
While it's still being finalized, Young said the university will likely only have one immunization site at the UT Health Austin facilities to make it as simple as possible. That could change as the university receives more doses for a broader part of the population, she said.
It's unclear how many doses the university will receive for phase one of the vaccination plan, she said, and as such, the university is still figuring out exactly who should be vaccinated first. She said between 2,500 to 5,000 doses "would be what we need in our area, but we'll see what we get."
Who gets it first
Emergency care physicians who are treating Covid-19 patients daily and the staff that tests patients for the virus will likely get it first, she said.
The FDA, through its vaccine advisory committee, is charged with reviewing and approving the vaccines for safety and effectiveness while the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices determines who gets the vaccine and in what order since there will be limited supply in the beginning months.
The CDC has recommended in interim guidelines to vaccinate health-care workers first, followed by the elderly, people with underlying health conditions and other essential workers.
Young said the university will follow the CDC's plan once those details are finalized. Young, who has also treated Covid-19 patients, still isn't sure when she'll get the vaccine. She said it depends on how many doses the university receives.
"We won't know all of the ins and outs about eligibility etc., so we're waiting for that information, as well, but we want to be poised and ready to administer fairly quickly, as soon as we get the vaccine," she said. "What we hope to do is take the lessons learned from this first phase of healthcare providers to inform our processes across campus as we bring on other phases."

One of Clayton's newest, most upscale eateries is an exercise in unalloyed dining extravagance, from the private wine lockers stacked at the entrance to the opulently appointed bar to the carefully selected sculptures and paintings to the dining-area carpeting that folds into a soft hush any noise beyond the civilized level. And then there are the impossibly thick cuts o'cow and luscious buttery-rich sides.
The Capital Grille is a chain, with more than 50 locations across the country, but the environs and personal attention are so polished, one scarcely notices. It's an impressive addition to the way-ritzy steak-and-wine emporiums catering to those coasting on expense accounts or in the mood for a special evening. Prices here can be daunting, but consider what you're buying.
There's enough first-class protein here to have emptied half of Texas' stockyards. Steaks (dry-aged in house and tasting like it) have that intense beefiness and arrestingly exciting texture that you find in places with snowy starched tablecloths and lots of polished dark wood.
We tucked into a ribeye that challenged the dimensions of the dinner plate, its surface crusted with an exquisite fine char. Ordered medium rare, the meat was a dark rose inside, the marbling a juicy glistening. It was tender, fine-grained—there is no better steak in the area. The ribeye was just naked beef. A New York strip arrived resplendently decked with aromatic dollops of Gorgonzola and a swirl of cherry-cabernet reduction on the side. The cut's firm grain lends itself to such embellishments; a strip steak is less robust, taste-wise, than the ribeye. The flavor was boosted dramatically with that powerful cheese and deep, winey sauce.
Mastodons, apparently, have been genetically reengineered: The Grille's slab of veal could not possibly have come from a cow. A bone-in chop, as massive as it was tender, was a lovely hue of smoky ash with a taste more like succulent pork than beef. A swordfish fillet—meaty, firm, splendidly roasted—was a less calorically astounding choice (well, except for that shovelful of lump crab heaped on top). Roasted chicken is also on the menu for those unfamiliar with the concept of a steakhouse.
Typical of any good cow castle, little is complex here. Sides? Mushrooms—button, shiitake, and oyster—are simply roasted. Lardons lend porky sweetness to sautéed Brussels sprouts. Even the lobster mac is relatively straightforward: trumpets of campanelle pasta swirled in an exuberant slurry of cheddary goodness and about half a lobster's worth of meat.
Steak's ever-loyal sidekick, French fries, have perhaps the most rococo presentation, sporting a fine tracery of crispy Parmesan and a blush of truffle oil.
A profusion of starters is distracting. They're so generous and choice (and filling), they threaten to dull your appetite rather than hone it. Go with one starter for every two diners to avoid (as Mom warned) ruining your dinner. Opt for a half-dozen oysters or the shrimp, sautéed in a restrained garlic broth and accompanied by olive oil–infused crostini. A baseball-size blob of burrata sits in a shimmer of arugula pesto, along with beautifully balsamic-spiced pears. Our server pushed the fried calamari in a faintly sweet sauce with flecks of hot cherry peppers, and we were grateful. Or just go for appetizer gold with the Grand Plateau, an entire geologic formation of lump crabmeat, lobster, shrimp, and oysters.
Open less than a year, the place is typically packed, so reservations are mandatory. On a recent Thursday evening, if there was anyone in Clayton who wasn't dining or drinking at the Grille, it was only because parking space wasn't available.
Inside, the atmosphere is clubby, pleasantly formal. The view of a sprawling, impressively efficient kitchen is diverting as you wait for dinner. Once those steaks arrive, however, your attention is properly undivided.
This kind of elegance demands all your dining consideration.

response = JSON.parse(res.body)

I can access for example the first hash no problem with;
puts response[0]

However if i try to access a key's value I simply get an empty return;
puts response[0][:url]

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

A: With JSON.parse you get stringified keys, thus (assuming, that response[0] has got the "url" key):
response[0]['url']


It's time to enjoy all your camping trips with your family in this travel trailer. The kiddos will enjoy their own double size bunk beds while you rest in the master bedroom on the opposite side. You can meet in the middle to play games and eat meals together on the U-shaped dinette or sofa. The rear bathroom is conveniently beside the bunks, as well as the main entry door. The second entry in the master bedroom allows the parents to sneak out for a walk in the morning while the others sleep in after staying up late. If you want to start breakfast outside on the outdoor kitchen, that works also. It's time to start planning your next trip!


On Monday March 4th at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) in Atlanta, details were presented on a case of a potential "functional cure" of HIV infection in an infant. The story has already broken widely in the media due to a CROI press conference held on Sunday afternoon, during which the researcher describing the case, Deborah Persaud, gave a preview of the data. The webcast of Persaud's talk is now available for viewing online (it is the 7th presentation in the session entitled "Is There Hope for HIV Eradication?").
The context of the case report is unusual because the mother was not diagnosed with HIV infection until in labor, and there was no opportunity to give her antiretroviral therapy (ART) to reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission. The infant was therefore considered at high risk of acquiring infection and HIV DNA and RNA tests were performed at 30 and 31 hours after birth, respectively. The HIV DNA test was positive, and the RNA test showed a viral load of 19,812 copies. Although current US guidelines recommend initiating a prophylactic regimen of AZT and nevirapine pending the results of virologic testing, the treating pediatrician, Hannah Gay, chose to initiate combination ART including AZT, 3TC, and nevirapine (the latter at the therapeutic rather than prophylactic dose). Nevirapine was switched in favor of Kaletra after seven days. Subsequent sequential viral-load testing showed the typical decline in response to treatment, with measurements of 2617 copies, 516 copies, 265 copies and then less than 48 copies (beneath the limit of detection).
ART was maintained for around 18 months until the mother and infant were lost to follow-up. When the infant was returned to care around five months later, Gay learned that treatment had been stopped. The reasons for the disengagement from care and cessation of treatment have not been made clear, with Gay stating in one article only that the mother was battling "some life changes."
Testing of the infant after the return to care revealed a highly unusual outcome: viral load remained undetectable despite the five-month period off ART (there have been many studies of pediatric ART interruptions, all demonstrating that viral-load rebound occurs rapidly, typically to very high levels, almost without exception). This prompted Gay to consult with external experts in pediatric HIV infection Deborah Persaud at Johns Hopkins University and Katherine Luzuriaga at Massachussetts General Hospital. The results of further investigations led to the findings presented by Persaud at CROI: several independent laboratories with expertise in searching for trace amounts of HIV evaluated samples from the infant but could only rarely detect extremely low levels of viral genetic material (there was no detectable replication-competent HIV).
These results echo those from follow-up studies of the single adult considered cured of HIV infection, Timothy Brown. Methods employed included digital droplet PCR, single-copy assays for HIV RNA, and a test for viral outgrowth from 22 million resting CD4 T cells. Immune responses to HIV, including antibody and CD4 and CD8 T-cell responses, were not detectable. Genetic studies showed that neither mother nor infant possessed the CCR5-Delta32 mutation or any HLA genes known to be associated with control of HIV replication. The totality of the findings has led the researchers to conclude that the infant represents a case of a functional cure of HIV infection (essentially an infant equivalent of Timothy Brown); the virus may not have been completely cleared, but at the current time -- after over 10 months off ART -- no viral activity is detectable.
Not too surprisingly, the media interest in the story has been intense. Several stories, including a piece in The New York Times, have included quotes from scientists suggesting the possibility that the infant was not infected in the first place. This scenario is difficult to reconcile with the stepwise decline in HIV RNA levels after ART initiation (this would have to involve not only four sequential false positive RNA results, but false positive results that also coincidentally mirrored the expected viral-load decline in response to ART -- a possibility that seems vanishingly unlikely). Another skeptical viewpoint cited by some articles is that HIV might have been cleared even in the absence of ART. This suggestion is based on occasional reports in the scientific literature of apparent transient HIV infection in exposed infants; however, a study published in 1998 that analyzed many of these cases in detail showed that most were explained by PCR testing contamination or sample mislabeling. Even the few reports that could not be fully explained by these problems were considered to be lacking the evidence necessary to formally prove that transient infection had occurred.
Some other aspects of the case deserve comment: although the baseline viral load of 19,812 copies might seem relatively low in the context of adult values, it should be noted that data on early viral loads among infected infants indicate this level is not atypical. A study published in 1998 reported that "all 18 infants defined as in utero infected by DNA PCR or coculture (or both) were also positive with a wide range of plasma HIV-1 RNA values within 48 h of birth and a median level of 26,940 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL (25th and 75th percentiles, 1556 and 468,390)."
In terms of other cases of pediatric ART interruptions in which viral-load rebound did not occur, a search of the literature did not turn up many examples. In 2006, researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital published a case report regarding a perinatally infected child who stopped ART as a teenager and maintained undetectable viral-load levels for five years of follow-up; the individual was heterozygous for the CCR5-Delta32 mutation and, unlike the infant described by Persaud, displayed strong HIV-specific T-cell responses. A 2008 survey of outcomes among children and adolescents undergoing unstructured ART interruptions notes the following: "In only 1 patient (6% [1 of 17]) did HIV-1 RNA remain undetectable after 12 months off therapy." However, no additional information is provided, and the cut-off for the viral-load assay used was <400 copies.
Based on the data presented, the Persaud case report appears unique, and the evidence that HIV infection occurred and has subsequently been controlled or even cleared after short-term ART is more compelling than some of the skeptical comments in the press have suggested. However, there is a lack of stored samples that might be able to bolster the evidence by confirming the genetic relationships between the separate virus samples from the infant and the linkage to the virus in the mother. It also remains possible that viral load could rebound at some point in the future.
Most basically, the case raises questions about the accessibility and quality of the health care system in Mississippi and the U.S. generally (as eloquently described in a posting by Jim Merrell of the Prevention Justice Alliance).
Deborah Persaud has cited the possibility of studying triple-combination ART instead of the normally recommended dual-prophylactic regimen of AZT and nevirapine in infants with HIV-positive mothers who have not received prophylaxis, in order to assess whether similar outcomes can be obtained (the British HIV Association guidelines already recommend triple-drug therapy as postexposure prophlylaxis for infants whose mothers have detectable viral loads at delivery).
For other perinatally infected children treated very early with ART, it has been suggested that there is now reason to carefully study whether control of HIV might be maintained after ART interruption (the reason that many ART interruption studies have already been conducted in the pediatric population is the recognition that they face the greatest burden of lifelong treatment). A related proposal is that perinatally infected children on ART should be candidates for studies of approaches that might increase the possibility of HIV control after ART withdrawal (such as therapeutic vaccines). A poster presentation at CROI by Katherine Luzuriaga describes five early-treated children in whom no replication-competent HIV can be detected, and makes the point that these individuals are "prime candidates for interventions to achieve functional cure or eradication."
More broadly for the cure research field, the case suggests that early ART may have prevented the establishment of a long-lived latent reservoir of HIV-infected memory CD4 T cells. This suggestion fits with current efforts to deplete the latent HIV reservoir as a means to a cure.
The question whether very early ART could lead to a similar outcome in adults might potentially be addressed by another ongoing study presented at CROI by Jintanat Ananworanich from Thailand, which involves a sizable population of individuals initiating ART at the very earliest stage of acute HIV infection (Feibig I). Ananworanich reported that the majority of individuals treated at this stage showed undetectable levels of integrated HIV DNA in both blood and colon after 24 weeks of ART; future plans include analytical treatment interruptions to assess whether HIV viral load returns.
Update 3/14/2013: On Monday March 11th in the Wall Street Journal, Dr. Mark J. Seidner from Massachussetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School published an opinion piece arguing that the case represents an example of successful infant post-exposure prophlaxis (PEP) against HIV infection, rather than a cure of HIV infection that had occurred in utero as Persaud and colleagues have suggested. There is a published case report of an adult recipient of an HIV-infected blood transfusion who showed a single viral load value of 3 copies/mL (the lower limit of detection of the assay) but proved to be uninfected after receipt of PEP. However, there are also published studies that include assessments of viral load values in infants receiving PEP to prevent mother-to-child transmission and none appear to offer examples consistent with the idea that viral load values are detectable in this situation e.g. see this large French study from 2012, and a US analysis from 2003; the latter reports two examples of low values in infants receiving AZT prophlyaxis, but they are considered false positives because DNA PCR tests taken the same day were negative (unlike the case reported at CROI).

I'm going to do this every day. I will take a few moments to blog everyday even if I have nothing to say. It is one way to keep focused on what I really want. So yesterday I ended up walking the dogs for almost 2 hours. That was awesome.
They are bright and loud and I love them. They are also a type of Asics I've never had before. I read that they were really cushioned and good for pronators, so I thought I would give them a try. I wore them once for walking on the treadmill and my toes on my left foot went numb. That was not good. Then I thought they might be too tight. So yesterday I went to walk the dogs and loosen up the laces. Much, much better. I walked for almost 2 hours with the dogs in them. First, I felt like the ball had more cushioning and I was walking with a slight deficit. But gradually I adjusted and by the end of the walk, I had zero foot pain. Zero. After taking them off my feet did not hurt. My legs did not hurt. My back did not hurt. Nothing.....wow, maybe I've hit on something. So today I run. I've been up for almost 2 hours now and putting it off. I don't want to hurt. I just don't want to hurt.
Okay, so I'm off to run on the treadmill. It's been raining for 2 days now. Yuck. Okay, I'll report back later.

Destroying a minority: Turkey's September 6-7, 1955 pogrom against the Greeks of Istanbul
Τρίτη, 7 Σεπτεμβρίου, 2021
'Under the supervision of interior minister Namik Gedik – over 4,000 Greek businesses and over 3,000 Greek homes were destroyed. British diplomatic sources put the damages at 100 million pounds.'
By George Gilson
The Turkish pogrom against the Greeks of Istanbul which began on 6 September is one of the darkest pages in recent Turkish history and one of the deepest wounds in the collective memory of the Greek nation.
As in the case of the Armenian Genocide, the Turkish state in the ensuing decades never acknowledged the pogrom against the Greek minority. It denied it.
That was until 2005, when the late, great Byzantinist Speros Vryonis, on the 50th anniversary of the pogrom published his monumental work The Mechanism of Catastrophe: The Turkish Pogrom of September 6-7, 1955, and the Destruction of the Greek Community of Istanbul (Greekworks. com, 2005).
Vryonis, who knew Turkish and gained access to unclassified documents in official archives, thoroughly documented (with plenty of accounts of eyewitnesses) not only magnitude and savage nature of the attacks, but also that they were organised and executed by then PM Adnan Menderes' Demokrat Party in the cooperation with Turkey's military and deep state and was essentially an act of ethnic cleansing.
"Under the supervision of interior minister Namik Gedik – over 4,000 Greek businesses and over 3,000 Greek homes were destroyed. British diplomatic sources put the damages at 100 million pounds. The task was completed eight years later, when thousands of Greek nationals or «etablis» (most born in Turkey and a high percentage married to Greek Turkish citizens) were deported when Ankara denounced a 1930 Greek-Turkish convention establishing their right to live and work in Turkey. Today, the Greek community appears destined for extinction, since there remain in Istanbul fewer than 2,000 mostly older Greeks, the remnants of the once 150,000-strong minority."
On the occasion of this dark anniversary, we are presenting this writer's comprehensive review of the book at the time of its publication:

I love meeting couples and getting to know them and becoming their friend while they allow me to document their Wedding day.
Jenna and Jordy were exactly this kind of couple. Truly lovely and genunine people and we just clicked. Even at their engagement session it turned out we had a mutual friend who walked past. They were planning their Wedding day in only 3 months. Jenna had lots of questions and I was more then happy to help. Planning a Wedding can be a daunting experience and a lot of work but it can be also very rewarding. There is lots of resources out there to help. Going to Expos is a great way to meet suppliers and get tips for your Wedding day and there is some great resources on bridal pages on facebook.
In Maleny there is lots of awesome venues and locations for Wedding photos. I say this often but Maleny is definitely one of my all time favourite spots to Photograph. Pretty much every way you look it is stunning. There is a lot of incredible wedding photo locations in Maleny and I will list a few at the bottom of the page to help out future brides to be.
Jenna had the most amazing location for her Bridal Preparations with an incredible view and rooms for her to get ready in. Located just down the hill from Maleny called Highwood Park.
Jenna was very sensible and planned a backup wet weather plan at the little white church in Maleny. The weather was a little unpredictable the week leading up to the day. The afternoon of their rehearsal was a complete white out with fog covering their ceremony location. However the fog lifted overnight and Jenna and Jordy were blessed with a perfect day and lots of sunshine. Wow what a location for a ceremony with the Glass House Mountains in view.
Jenna was an absolutely stunning bride and as she walked down the isle with her parents, the tears streamed down Jordy's face. It was so beautiful to watch. These two are soulmates.
Before heading to "The Orangery Maleny" for reception. We stopped at a few Wedding Photo locations Maleny has to offer during the "golden hour" before sunset. We took advantage of the incredible light and long grass just down the road from the Ceremony. Then we stopped at Maleny Agapanthus Farm & Clivia Gardens to take some photos in the amazing driveway lined with tall trees. We decided not to use One Tree Hill Maleny as their was a bit of a line up and instead went to a location with a amazing view of the sunset.
"The Orangery" is a great venue with its quirky tea and chandeliers and amazing staff and delicious food. They even had the awesome Sally Skelton from the voice as the entertainment for the evening. Jenna sang a song she wrote for Jordy as part of her speech which was amazing also.

She has a vague memory of playing chess with her grandfather. She can't remember who brought her to his station for the visit, but it must have been there because she knows the soft light that fell across the board was not the gentle yellow light that filtered through the windows at home. The room, too, was brighter than the cozy living room she had grown up in. The many windows lined up behind her grandfather's smiling form admitted the sunlight, letting it play off the off-white walls that boxed them in so effectively, illuminating the desk, the couches, the small table, the chessboard.
Maybe it was her mother who had brought her to see her grandfather, but that probably wasn't the case. Her mother's long flight from the military began with her marriage to Riza's father. When she had Riza, she tried very hard to guide her daughter along the same path and now, thinking back, Riza can't remember when she began to drift away from her mother—and back to the source that haunted them both.
It might have been her uncle then; maybe he had had business in the East somewhere or maybe he had wanted to indulge her grandfather. She could see how a man like her grandfather would be easy to indulge with his kindly smile and shrinking physique. Even now she couldn't imagine her grandfather on a battlefield; any attempt formed an image of him jovially shouting commands. The incongruity made her shiver. Only years later would Riza begin to comprehend that this phantom figure, her grandfather the commander, might be the root of her mother's hate for all things military, but this only when Riza was an adult herself and caught up in the army's strangling hold. Even then the passion with which her mother clung to distaste would always baffle Riza.
Where her grandfather worked never seemed like a bad place. His office, once his door was shut, was very quiet. She remembers the dreamlike way the pieces seemed to sit on the board—on account of the light, maybe, or perhaps her own faltering memory. She remembers the feel of the pieces better, smooth beneath her small, young hands. Their nooks and crannies left the imprint of their textures on her memory and even now she can almost remember the feel of pinching the rook between her fingers so that the tops of its battlements left little squares in her thumb. She never quite knew where or how the pieces went, but her grandfather watched her with his keen, kindly eyes and directed her in his soft, but certain voice so that the pieces all magically fell into their spots. Knights were too confusing with their jumping L-pattern—not at all simple—and she quickly abandoned them. Bishops were better, traveling in diagonals across the board, sidling up to the rooks that she moved ponderously up and down, side to side. Pawns were not much fun but the queen made up for their boring one-way march. He let her keep the queen, she knows now, although he could have taken the piece in a myriad of ways.
Her grandfather was very kind.
She never won—there wasn't enough time in their visit for that—but Riza is sure he would have let her, even guided her patiently and knowingly to the checkmate that would have thrown her into fits of triumphant giggling. He would have smiled that slow smile that almost reminded her of her mother when she was especially pleased with something her daughter did, an expression that Riza would find herself seeing less and less as she grew older.
She thinks about this chess game as her commander sets up the board between them. It is late—or early, depending whom you ask, including her who might answer one way or the other, depending on her mood—no one is in the office but them, and the work is far from done, but they both need a break. He sweeps the pawns across the board, black and white, her side then his. He lines up rooks, knights, bishops, the queen, the king. She has seen the little figures so many times but suddenly something seems different; she realizes then that if she thinks hard enough, she can almost imagine this is the same chessboard that her grandfather used all those years ago. It drags her back.
Colonel Mustang hesitates after he finishes setting the board and then he looks at her expectantly—she is white. She gazes back at him steadily.
"I don't remember how to play," she confesses.
He doesn't react at first, but then he smiles, a lopsided smirk that conveys somehow both confidence and affectionate amusement. "I'll show you."
As the time passes and he patiently, confidently shows her how the pieces move and instructs her in simple strategies, there is a subtle shift in his smile. It becomes less a smirk and almost something like contentment. Later, when she takes his queen from under his nose, he sits back and beams at her in the satisfied wonder only a teacher could feel and she thinks about her grandfather's and her mother's smiles, approving, loving.
Riza wonders if this is why she has been running from one place to the next—seeking one smile after the other. This one, she thinks, she can stop for. This one, she thinks, she deserves.

Historic Artist
Jane Hicks Gentry
Singer and storyteller Watauga and Madison Counties, NC
StorytellingMusicMountain LoreBallad SingingHistoric Artists
Known as "a singer among singers," Jane Hicks Gentry had an amazing repertoire of songs, ballads, tales, and riddles. She shared them with collectors, including Cecil Sharp, who published many of the ballads she sang in his important collection English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians. Gentry's fantastic memory helped provide Sharp with 70 songs and ballads, more than he collected from any other single source.
Gentry was born in Watauga County during the Civil War. Her mother was the daughter of Council Harmon, and Jane was close to her grandfather when she was young. Known as "Old Counce," her grandfather was the source of many stories and songs that became part of the rich Beech Mountain tradition. Gentry took the Beech Mountain repertoire of stories and songs with her when she and her family moved to Madison County in the mid-1870s.
Betty Smith, historian and biographer of Jane Hicks Gentry, notes, "Jane Gentry was a good neighbor, and in that role she made use of her store of tales and songs." Gentry helped run a boarding house in Hot Springs, and she often sang while she worked. In the evenings, the family would gather around the fire, and Gentry would tell stories and sing. Her home was welcoming, and she had frequent visitors, particularly children in the community. Smith notes, "Jane Gentry was not only a tradition bearer in her own family, she kept the songs and stories alive by singing and telling them wherever she was."
In addition to being a great singer, Jane Hicks Gentry was a renowned storyteller. She provided at least 15 Jack Tales for collector Isabel Gordon Carter, published in the Journal of American Folklore in 1925. Her informal visits with writer Irving Bacheller resulted in a novel, short stories, and magazine articles. She frequently shared stories and songs with children attending the Dorland Institute, and she appeared at the first meeting of the Ballad Society in Asheville.
Betty Smith notes that there is no evidence that Jane Hicks Gentry ever made any money for singing or telling stories. "There was no market for her music in the early twentieth century, and she gave it freely," Smith says. These traditions were woven into the fabric of Gentry's daily life. The songs, ballads, stories, and riddles she shared with collectors, scholars, and, most-importantly, community members helped usher the tradition into the twentieth century.

Connecticut Witches
Witchcraft trials in Connecticut? Why, yes, there were.
New Haven, CT, September 6, 2013—The Salem, Massachusetts Witch Panic has forever shaped the public perception of New England witchcraft trials. Witchcraft trials are widely seen as simplistic morality plays with two dimensional players. What happened in Connecticut during its colonial history is both more complex and more interesting. To place ourselves in the shoes of the participants in these trials, we need to understand both the accusers and the accused as real, flesh and blood people. In his new book Witchcraft Prosecution: Chasing the Devil in Connecticut, Richard G. Tomlinson offers a definitive history of witchcraft prosecution in Connecticut in the 17th and 18th centuries, cover over 40 cases and featuring original court documents and historical profiles of key persons. On Thursday, October 24 at 6:30 pm at the New Haven Museum, Tomlinson will discuss his book and present "What Were Connecticut Witchcraft Trials Really Like?" Admission is free; donations are welcomed. Copies of the book will be available for sale.
Richard G. Tomlinson has enjoyed a varied career as a research scientist, management consultant, telecommunications expert, corporate director and author. He is a founder and director of the Connecticut Society of Genealogists, Inc. (CSG). He created the CSG Literary Awards and the CSG magazine, Connecticut Genealogy News, and has published many articles on family history and genealogy. Tomlinson is a trustee of the Connecticut Historical Society. He is a descendant of Henry Tomlinson who settled in Milford, CT in 1650. He is also a contributing author to several books and the author of three histories, including Tele-Revolution: Competition at the Speed of Light, Witchcraft Trials of Connecticut, and Witchcraft Prosecution: Chasing the Devil in Connecticut.
The New HavenMuseum, founded in 1862 as the New Haven Colony Historical Society, is located in downtown New Haven at 114 Whitney Avenue. The Museum is currently celebrating 150 years of collecting, preserving and interpreting the history and heritage of Greater New Haven. Through its collections, exhibitions, programs and outreach, the Museum brings 375 years of New Haven history to life.


Middle classes help Aldi sales soar 21%; Lidl up by 13%; Sainsbury's weakest of the big four A very interesting retail direction which to be honest had been coming for some time - if you watch the customer satisfaction surveys.
With premium providers taking a hit, [M&S food leading the way - down 9%] to be relevant in this economy we are going to have to deliver a whole new set of values & innovations to customers if we want their custom recognising.
I would not say Aldi and Lidl are the future but they certainly point towards a new value model - albeit a very crude first draft - where affordance value is increasingly a critical driver.
By consequence, we believe strategies & designs which innovate and optimise not only the cost but the very affordance value of things, buildings & assets will be holy grail of the coming reformation.
