Q: QWidget focusOutEvent not received I've created a date input by subclassing a QLineEdit and a QCalendar. The calender is displayed at the bottom of the QLineEdit when a mousePressEvent is received on it. The problem is with hiding that calendar. I've overridden its focusOutEvent as I want it to be closed when the user clicks somewhere else. But this event is not received at all, I confirmed this by putting a breakpoint in it, it never stops there. I've put a call to close() in it:
class MyCalendarWidget : public QCalendarWidget
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    void focusOutEvent(QFocusEvent* e)
    {
        close();
    }
};

When I close it from my DateLineEdit, it works as expected:
void DateLineEdit::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *)
{
    if (calendar->isVisible())
    {
        calendar->close();
    }
    else
    {
        calendar->move(mapToGlobal(QPoint(0, height())));
        calendar->show();
    }
}

A: I'm guessing it's not sending a focusOutEvent because it never had focus in the first place; certainly not if the user subsequently typed something in the DateLineEdit.  Capture the focusOutEvent from the DateLineEdit object, and close the calendar at that point; though perhaps you would want to test whether the user clicked on the calendar (in which case it would have focus or at least have received a mousePressEvent) and leave it up in that case (but otherwise close it).

A: Are you aware that there is already such thing in Qt? See the setCalendarPopup() & setCalendarWidget() of the QDateTimeEdit class. The only difference I can thing of now is that to see the calendar the user will have to click on the right side of the widget, instead of the editing line.
Hope this helps

RIM's last chance
Well, in case you didn't hear, Google bought Motorola Mobility (a split off company from Motorola that built their phones). This is Google's second attempt at manufacturing hardware for mobile phones (the first being the very underwhelming Nexus). This will make Google much more like Apple and RIM when it comes to mobile phones: they will now make the hardware as well as the software for their mobile phones. While Google claims the acquisition is in response to the MSFT/APPL led coalition which won the battle over the defunct Nortel's immensely valuable set of patents, it coincidentally lines up Google to directly compete with Apple in the mobile world.
Now that Apple has proven that, given the right spark of ingenuity, it's best to produce the phone and the operating system together, it only makes sense that the largest smart phone operating system builder would follow suit. They'd be dooming themselves to failure if they didn't. Microsoft made a similar gamble making a huge deal with Nokia (not an acquisition but more of an agreement) to have them produce the hardware that Microsoft hopes will rocket their mobile operating system (or their unified operating system, does anyone think that will really happen?) into a level of decent competition with their old rival Apple.
All of this begs the question: what about everybody else? What other players are out there, and will the addition of another 800 lb. gorilla into the market allow anyone else to survive without putting on the gorilla suit? What will happen to Microsoft (who is pretty much the only other smart phone operating system maker)? What will happen to RIM (who has had the most dismal of quarters followed by "streamlining" [read layoffs])?
Here's what i see: RIM is betting everything on their QNX operating system. With good reason, it's supposedly revolutionary (I am not an operating system developer so i couldn't tell you whether it is or not, but the experts have said that it is). However, RIM is dead set on releasing the next version of their BlackBerry OS for their entire line of phones before dumping that as soon as possible for QNX.
If RIM survives that self induced roller coaster, it could emerge as the next gorilla to enter the playing field. If not, RIM will not have much choice but to show up in Redmond wearing a short skirt and high heals promising incredible experiences for not much money. At that point Microsoft (who has never really had any success building hardware for their own operating systems, at least not compared to the success that Apple has had) will have the opportunity to gobble up a hardware maker that is already established in the enterprise market. If Microsoft doesn't screw it up (like Cisco did with the Flip), they may emerge as the next suited gorilla in the market, finally able to compete with Apple and Google.
The other players in the smart phone market don't stand much of a chance at this point. Who in their right mind would try to build a phone and put Google's operating system on it? Who could really compete with a Google OS/Google hardware phone using a Google OS/[Any] hardware phone? Is Samsung up to the challenge? Who knows.

Creating detour loops in powerpoint
Often when giving a presentation i use visual aids. Since there's nothing like powerpoint out there, i've tried to learn as much as i can about it. One tip i can give is how to create what i call detour loops. Detour loops allow the presenter to detour onto another topic temporarily then return to the main topic without losing the flow of the presentation.
This technique essentially uses links that the presenter can use to jump to another position within the presentation and jump back. So, let's say i'm describing the functionality of a certain piece of software. I'll give an overview with a slide that has some explanatory text on it. Normally, when i'm done with this slide, i'll switch over to the software itself and show the student how to do what i'm doing by using the actual software (no powerpoint slides needed for that part). However, sometimes it can be useful to not show the software itself but rather a screenshot of the software (think large groups or buggy software). In that case, i want to show some powerpoint slides then resume the show.
Well, on the preceding slide that has the explanatory text, i'll put a link to the slide containing the screenshot. This slide is actually the next slide in sequential order, but i've hidden it so it normally doesn't show up. That's the first slide of my detour. All of the slides in the detour are hidden. That way they don't show up unless i click the link. The nice thing is that once you navigate to a slide that's hidden, all the slides after that will show up even if they were hidden.

Jake and Elwood Blues are performing at the Elks Theatre and Performing Arts Center this weekend, but it's not really Dan Aykroyd or John Belushi and they aren't the real Blues Brothers.
It is a tribute though, one that Jeff Fairchild, the Elwood of the show, said he has been doing since 1997. The idea for the show came while he was singing in a nightclub when he was 27 years old and his brother had been performing as Garth Brooks after someone in a mall told him to audition for Legends in Concert, Fairchild said.
Having worked off and on with Legends for 20 years, Fairchild said he's also gone solo and done other tribute shows. One is of Johnny Carson, he said. Still over the last 20 years, Fairchild said he's noticed a demographic shift for the Blues Brothers show. It's gotten older, he said, remarking when he started the people who loved it were in the 40- to 60-age range and, now, the people who love it are in the 60- to 80-age range.
There are still some younger audience members though, Fairchild said. They might never have heard of the Blues Brothers before because they're so young, but they usually have a good time.
The show starts at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 30, and tickets are $22 for adults and $25 for seniors. The Elks Theatre and Performing Arts Center is located at 117 E. Gurley St.
Fairchild said he's always been viewed as an oddball, mentioning that people say his Blues Brothers act is not 100 percent accurate.
Plus in watching the movies, they never show the dance routines from beginning to end, so he has to elaborate, Fairchild said.
Tickets are available online at www.prescottelkstheater.com, by calling the theatre at 928-777-1370 or at the box office one hour prior to the performance.


Is there a way that while we load data into Celonis from one HANA table/view we can apply some filters to import only a limited dataset?
For example, I have two years of data in cases table but want to load only the last 6 months data into Celonis.
in order to answer your question in more detail, it would be very helpful when you could tell us the Celonis Version you're using.
We are using CPM 4.4.
since you're using 4.4, you have connected your data model to a specific schema (most likely called CELONIS) where your celonis activity and case table as well as additional master data are stored. Within that schema your case table is actually a view, the best practice here is that you add the filter within that view.

IUPUI lady Jags welcome new assistant coach
By KAILAH A.JONES
Janese Banks
KAILAH A.JONES
Modified date: June 4, 2014
Basketball head coach Austin Parkinson and the team welcome assistant coach Janese Banks to the coaching staff.
Banks will be working with the guards, player development, and scouts in addition to recruiting and traveling as a part of her new responsibilities.
"I plan to fulfill my new role with a great work ethic and hard work. That beats everything," she said.
Banks has had extensive experience with coaching and playing basketball before coming to the Jaguars. She spent a season at Auburn as a graduate assistant where she helped with aspects of day-to-day program operations.
Banks is an Indianapolis native and attended Ben Davis High School and worked as a volunteer coach for Ben Davis in 2010-2011. For the past two basketball seasons she has been coaching for the Milwaukee Panthers where they just finished the past season with an 8-22 record.
As a student, Banks was named Gatorade State Player of the Year in 2004, and in the same year she was selected as an Indiana All-Star and All-State. She was a four-year letter winner from 2004-2008 at the University of Wisconsin where she received her bachelor's degree. She finished her college career averaging 12.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game.
Banks was dedicated to her education just as much as she was to playing basketball. She was a three-time All Big-Ten selection and a three-time Academic All Big-Ten selection. At the end of her collegiate career she was one of the 10 players in Badger's history to earn well over 1,500 career points.
Following her collegiate career Banks played professional basketball in the Ukraine, Switzerland and Iceland for three years.
Coach Parkinson said, "We are thrilled to be able to welcome Janese back home to Indianapolis and into our IUPUI basketball family.
"After a tremendous playing career, Janese has established herself in the coaching ranks as a tireless worker, an excellent builder of relationships and a great role model for young women," Parkinson said. "She is an ideal fit for our staff because of her competitive nature and passion for the game of basketball."
"I am definitely excited and I feel like this is a great opportunity for me to be back in Indiana," Banks adds.
"Coach Parkinson has really believed in me, and I feel like this is just meant to be. The staff has passion about the game, they want to win and mentor young women. I share those same beliefs and I'm ready to get started."
Even though Banks is new, she is already planning for this upcoming season.
"I plan on recruiting players from Indiana and the surrounding states as hard as possible and making sure everyone knows the great things going on at IUPUI," she said, "as well as competing for a conference championship and getting to the NCAA tournament."

Q: How to find height of BST iteratively?   public void HeightIterative()
    {
        int counter = 0;
        int counter2 = 0;
        TreeNode current=root;

        if(current != null)
        {
            while(current.LeftNode!=null)
            {
                counter++;
                current = current.LeftNode;
            }
            while(current.RightNode!=null)
            {
                counter2++;
                current = current.RightNode;
            }
        }

        int res = 1+Math.Max(counter, counter2);
        Console.WriteLine("The Height Of Tree Is: "+res);
    }

I wrote iterative method, to calculate height of tree. but in some cases its not working properly. As in case:
10
1
2
3
4
5
18
17
16
15
14
13
what's the problem. according to this sequence height of tree is 6 where as my code is showing 5.

A: You are using two loops, but each loop investigated only oneside of node, but each node in tree has two sides you should investigate it all. You can do it through recursion call.
private int GetLen(TreeNode node)
{
  var result = 0;

  if(node != null)
  {
    result = Math.Max(GetLen(node.LeftNode), GetLen(node.RightNode)) + 1;
  }

  return result;
}

public void HeightIterative()
{
  int res = GetLen(root);
  Console.WriteLine("The Height Of Tree Is: "+res);
}

Iterative version:
private class NodeInfo
{
  public NodeInfo(TreeNode node, int len)
  {
    Node = node;
    Len = len;
  }

  public TreeNode Node {get; private set;}
  public int Len {get; private set;}
}

public void HeightIterative()
{
    int maxLen = 0;

    var queue = new Queue<NodeInfo>();
    queue.Enqueue(new NodeInfo(root, 1));

    while (queue.Count > 0)
    {
        var item = queue.Dequeue();
        var current = item.Node;
        var currentLen = item.Len;

        if (current.LeftNode != null)
        {
            queue.Enqueue(new NodeInfo(current.LeftNode, currentLen + 1));
        }

        if (current.RightNode != null)
        {
            queue.Enqueue(new NodeInfo(current.RightNode, currentLen + 1));
        }

        if (currentLen > maxLen)
        {
            maxLen = currentLen;
        }
    }

    Console.WriteLine("The Height Of Tree Is: " + maxLen);
}

A: There is a way that does not require any extra space except the queue for storing the nodes.

*

*Add child nodes of a current element and remember size of the queue.

*Let each dequeue call decrement the counter

*When counter reaches zero that means we are done with current level.

*Repeat and count number of times counter reaches zero - this is the depth/height of the tree

Code goes like this :
public int treeDepth(Node root){
    int height = 0;
    int counterNodesInLevel = 1;

    if(root!=null)
    {
        Queue<Node> queue=new Queue<Node>()
        queue.enqueue(root);

        while (!queue.isEmpty()){
            Node current = queue.dequeue();
            counterNodesInLevel -= 1;

            if(current.left!=null){
               queue.enqueue(current.left)
            }

            if(current.right!=null){
               queue.enqueue(current.right)
            }

            if (counterNodesInLevel == 0){
                height += 1;
                counterNodesInLevel = queue.Size();
            }
        }
    }
    return height;
}

Time complexity is O(N), space complexity is O(N)

A: The problem:
You are finding the depth of the left-most node in the first loop, and the right-most in the second, and never interrogating any node that involves going down to the left AND the right.
A solution:
Have a single loop that drills down the left nodes, but adds each right node that it 'skips' into a queue.  When you run out of left nodes, pop-off a node form your queue and continue on until the queue becomes empty.  You'll need to store the height of each node you put in the queue with that node.

A: public int Height()
    {
        int result = GetMaxHeight(this.Root,0);
        return result;
    }

    private int GetMaxHeight(Node<T> node,int count)
    {
        int leftMax = 0, rightMax = 0;
        if (node.Left != null)
        {
            leftMax = GetMaxHeight(node.Left, count+1);
        }
        if (node.Right != null)
        {
            rightMax = GetMaxHeight(node.Right, count + 1);
        }

        if(node.Left==null && node.Right == null)
        {
            return count;
        }

        return Math.Max(leftMax,rightMax);
    }

Media Release: MSPs called to do more for 55,000 Scots in National Epilepsy Week vote of support
SCOTLAND'S leading epilepsy charity is calling on MSPs to do more for people with epilepsy in this new parliament.
Recently-elected MSPs are being urged by Epilepsy Scotland to pledge their vote of support starting from National Epilepsy Week (16-22 May) and back the leading charity's campaign for greater investment in epilepsy services which could save lives and NHS resources.
Epilepsy Scotland chief executive, Lesslie Young, explained: "The impact of epilepsy can be profound, long lasting and wide reaching.
"For far too long, a large proportion of the 55,000 people and families across Scotland living with the condition have, for a variety of reasons, experienced patchy access to appropriate services; in some areas no service at all.
"This is something MSPs can address in this new parliament. Our campaign message is simple; investing in epilepsy management now can save lives as well as unnecessary costs for the NHS.
"Being able to access appropriate resources helps those who develop this common neurological condition today and for years to come.
"Research findings suggest that while just over half of people with epilepsy have seizure control, seven in ten could become seizure-free if they received optimum care.
"We appreciate the recently-revised SIGN guidelines for managing the care of adults with epilepsy are not mandatory for NHS boards.
"Yet, in the same way as the Curriculum for Excellence aims to ensure that every child and young person reaches their full potential, so will the implementation of this updated SIGN guideline provide adults with the very best diagnosis, treatment and management of their epilepsy.
"We are urging MSPs to make this a matter of priority with their own health boards given one in 97 of their constituents, or around 500 adults live with epilepsy."
Lesslie Young added: "Epilepsy should not stop anyone from reaching whatever their potential is or having the best possible quality of life in spite of their condition and what may come with it.
"Achieving that goal is dependent on many things; equity of access to information, education, clinical support, social support, support for families and carers and of course funding.
"These are challenging times, but I believe the benchmark of a truly caring and inclusive civic society is the way in which we respond and meet the varied yet basic needs of our most vulnerable individuals and their families.
"Support from our Scottish Parliament will help to achieve this."
From today, Scottish politicians can sign up to Epilepsy Scotland's campaign call 'Support for epilepsy gets my vote, starting from National Epilepsy Week.' and take a selfie with it for their website and promote this on their facebook, and twitter pages (hashtag #epilepsyhasmyvote).
The charity's social media followers are being asked to share what they want newly-elected MSPs and the Scottish Government to do for epilepsy.
MSPs and Ministers can take on board these messages from constituents.
MSPs can also give their support to the re-registration of the Cross-Party Group on Epilepsy and consider being a breakfast host for National Epilepsy Week and get people talking about epilepsy in the Scottish Parliament.
Notes to the editor:
Epilepsy Scotland works with people affected by epilepsy to ensure that their voice is heard. We campaign for improved healthcare, better information provision and an end to stigma. This common serious neurological condition affects one in 97 people. We represent the 55,000 people with epilepsy, their families and carers. Our freephone Helpline (0808 800 2200) offers support and information. People can email (enquiries@epilepsyscotland.org.uk), text 07786 209501, find us on Facebook, use twitter @epilepsy_scot or visit: www.epilepsyscotland.org.uk
Epilepsy affects twice as many people (55,000) as the combined patient populations for Parkinson's (10.019),MS (10.500), Huntingdon's (635), MND (400) and dystonia (5,882) in Scotland (27,436).
MSPs can sign up to Epilepsy Scotland's campaign call 'Support for people with epilepsy gets my vote, starting from National Epilepsy Week.' More details at www.epilepsyscotland.org.uk
Revised SIGN guidance: SIGN 143, Diagnosis and management of epilepsy in adults were launched in 2015. http://sign.ac.uk/guidelines/fulltext/143/index.html
Small working groups of health professionals and voluntary sector representatives including Epilepsy Scotland have been meeting since to consider how these SIGN guidelines could be best implemented. A seminar (June) to outline these draft proposals is planned for this summer.
Research findings suggest that while just over half of people with epilepsy (52 per cent) have seizure control, seven in ten could become seizure-free if they received optimum care. About 9,750 people with epilepsy in Scotland may potentially become seizure free if their condition is better managed. Estimated savings in Scotland of £2,367,000, based on the 2003 population, were cited in the JEC's Epilepsy Prevalence, incidence and other statistics paper, 2011. Such funds for better epilepsy management could be made available by reducing unnecessary treatment for people in Scotland who don't have epilepsy or are on the wrong treatment (JEC 2005 report and All Party Parliamentary Group's Wasted Money Wasted Lives 2007 report).

Our breeding philosophy was fashioned through our numerous trips to Poland, and is driven by a love for that country, her horses, and a husbandry and horsemanship that is not found anywhere else in the world. The Polish ideal of beautiful athletes is not a hollow claim, but built on centuries of breeding decisions and generations of proven individuals. As the Arabian breed becomes more fractionalized into various disciplines, we endeavor to breed beautiful and athletic Arabians that will stand as a constant reminder of the inherent versatility of the breed. We also believe it is crucial this be done with a gentle horsemanship and husbandry that puts the Arabian horse first and foremost, and never uses artificial manipulation or drugs in either showing or racing. After all, showing and racing are merely tools to evaluate breeding selections, not a means unto themselves. It is in this spirit and philosophy we show and race our young prospects for evaluation and marketing, and remain above all a breeding farm.
WA Emfatyk shortly after his birth.
Our horses are handled in a "Polish" manner, including being turned out in large herd from the barns. We do not believe in stalling a horse for long periods of time and so all horses are turned out to pasture daily -- including stallions, and horses in show or race training. We show all our horses in halter and performance classes, starting at a young age. We also believe strongly in the Polish tradition of breeding stock proving themselves on the track. While we do use outside trainers, when possible all our horses are raced and shown from the farm. Young foals are turned out with the rest of the herd as soon as they are able. All foals are imprinted (handled right from birth) and are treated like favorite grandchildren. This serves well for training and starting under saddle, as well as making them real people lovers.


St Andrew's Church in Halberton plays host to another special evening of music and song this week.
Master musician Colin Pettet, formerly assistant musical director on London's West End production of Les Miserables returns with his team of artists and musicians on Monday, December 17 at 7.30pm.
So successful have been previous concerts that Colin has become a regular fundraiser for the 800-year-old St Andrew's Church and has developed a reputation among music-lovers for putting on a night to remember. This will be his sixth consecutive Christmas fundraising concert.
Colin said: "My Christmas wouldn't be complete without it. There's always a wonderful atmosphere, everyone puts in a lot of work, the church looks lovely, and in the interval, there are refreshments and a raffle with what seems like more prizes than tickets.
Tickets for the concert are available on the night or from the Halberton Farm Shop or 820140 or 820566.
Later in the week on Friday, December 21, St Andrew's will host its annual Carol Festival at 7:00 pm and the public is welcome to attend.


Amy is the founder and CEO of Mowellens, a conscious cannabis wellness company based in California. After many years in the healthcare industry as a pharmacist, medical devices sales executive, and finally as the COO of a genetics laboratory, she decided to make a big career shift.
Her passion for cannabis grew from helping her husband battle a malignant brain tumor in 2012. And as his treatments progressed, so did her belief in its healing power— both for him and herself. So she combined her experience in biotechnology and healthcare to launch Mowellens, a lab-tested, pure, natural, cannabis product range that provides results you can see and feel.
If that wasn't impressive enough, she will also be launching Source Rising later this year, a spiritual platform and journey in the world of virtual reality.

Q: Childrens in FrameLayout is not drawn I'm implementing a function in my Android app where the user is able to dynamically add and remove views in a FrameLayout and position them with absolute coordinates by using drag and drop techniques. The user will typically load a floor planning image as background to the FrameLayout and then add buttons that represents lamps in the house and position them where appropriate.
Anyway, I have a problem where I need to inflate and add views to the FrameLayout when the Fragment is loaded. The child views are derived from information in a SQLite database. In order to position the child views correctly (depending on orientation) I need to take the width and height of the FrameLayout in account. Therefore, I am unable to do this work in onCreateView() in my Fragment.
The FrameLayout is actually a DragArea (I will still refer to this object as the FrameLayout though, for simplicity), a custom class extending FrameLayout. In order to get a callback to the Fragment when the width/height has been calculated I override onSizeChanged in FrameLayout which calls the Fragment.
And here's the strange thing. If I, in the callback method in my Fragment, create the views and call FrameLayout.invalidate nothing seems to happen. Inspection says the views has been added to the FrameLayout but they are not seen. If I open the hierarchyviewer and press Load View Hierarchy the views appears. So there seems to be a side effect here which draws the views. I have tried to call FrameLayout.requestLayout() and also make sure it's running on the UI thread by doing the logic in getActivity().runOnUiThread() but it makes no difference.
BUT! If I instead place the logic inside onPostExecuted() in a (otherwise useless) AsyncTask the views are drawn.
Please see the code below where this is further described in the comments. The callback method is named onWidthAvailable() and called from FrameLayout.onSizeChanged().
I have also tried to called invalidate() at a later, arbitrary point in time with no luck.
public class ImageFragment extends Fragment implements FragmentRedrawable, OnLongClickListener, OnWidthAvailableListener {

PHOTO BY GEREMY BORDONARO/GLEANER NEWS: Fans of the Victory Café, which will soon close to make way for the Mirvish Village development, need not despair. Owner Nick Ndreka has opened the Crafty Coyote on Bloor Street West. The bar boasts the same selection of craft beer and rustic atmosphere, and emphasizes its location with a sign emblazoned with the words The Annex.
Founded over 15 years ago, The Vic, as the Victory Café is known to its patrons, will soon close. Like all businesses on Markham Street from Lennox to Bloor streets, it is making way for the Mirvish Village redevelopment. But local lovers of craft beer need not despair: owner Nick Ndreka is opening Crafty Coyote, a new bar at 511 Bloor St. W.
The concept is simple. Present a large selection of craft beer and let them stand out.
Most craft drinkers look for a different beer every time and a large rotating tap will easily satiate even the most tenured craft beer drinker.
As for the neighbourhood, the Annex provides a perfect demographic of patrons for a bar like the Crafty Coyote.
Unfortunately, operations have not been without their twists and turns as the aforementioned patio was previously rejected by the community when the city conducted a poll of neighbouring residents who were concerned that Crafty Coyote's east face on Borden Street would lead to late night noise during the summer hours.
Though the patio request was initially denied by the community, Sinclair doesn't believe that this means that the community will reject it again. He characterizes the community as being involved with the businesses and downtown hustle of the surrounding areas.
This sentiment is echoed by Joe Cressy (Ward 20, Trinity-Spadina), who believes striking the right compromise is key.
Though this hiccup may slow down the Crafty Coyote slightly, Ndreka is still optimistic about the bar's future.

Russia plane crash latest
RUSSIA PLANE CRASH
MOURNING UNDERWAY, BLACK BOXES DAMAGED
Now the latest on the plane crash in Russia that killed all 62 people on board...
Relatives have gathered to mourn the victims in southern Russia while officials say the black boxes from the jet have been found, but they were badly damaged.
Hundreds of people gathered at Rostov-on-Don airport on Sunday, an official day of mourning in the Rostov region, to pay respects to the crash victims.
They laid flowers and lit candles outside the airport terminal, where a memorial table was placed.
The passenger jet travelling from Dubai to Rostov-on-Don crashed near the runway on its second landing approach a day earlier, killing all 55 passengers and seven crew members on board.
The black boxes have been found and are being examined in Moscow by experts from Russia, the United Arab Emirates and France. The American-made Boeing plane had French-made engines.
The black boxes were heavily damaged in the crash and according to reports citing aviation experts, it could take one month to decode information from the recorders.
Flydubai, which operates the ill-fated jet, says it is too early to determine the cause of the crash. But some reports have suggested it could have been caused by pilot error, a technical problem or strong winds at the airport.

These nut-free recipes use plenty of other healthy ingredients like coconut flour and sunflower seed butter to make the best flavors and textures without common allergens.
Paleo trail mixes and granolas are usually made mostly from nuts, since they obviously won't contain oats an other typical components. So what about when you need it to be nut-free? This fabulous nut-free trail mix works as granola too, and is made with seeds, fruits, and coconut.
This delicious chocolate birthday cake is made without the usual almond flour. Instead, it's made mostly with coconut flour and cacao powder, which protein-rich eggs used to stabilize it. Coconut oil and honey give this cake a lovely richness and moist sweetness.
These awesome muffins have a tropical flair to them, and are great as a breakfast, snack, or even a lighter dessert. You'll need shredded coconut, flaxseed meal, fresh mango, lime, vanilla, coconut flour, and other ingredients. For a nut-free version, not that the macadamias are optional.
Looking for something chewy, fudgy, and sweet? These beautiful green bites are made mostly with raw pumpkin seeds, which are rich in vitamins and minerals, especially magnesium. They're lightly sweetened with stevia and raw honey and flavored with vanilla.
This modest but delicious chocolate cake is covered with a honey-sweetened chocolate glaze and filled with sweet apricot jam. Coconut milk makes it nice and rich, while a small amount of honey sweetens the whole recipe.
I love a good scone, and let me tell you, this is a good scone. The ingredients are simple, with eggs, coconut oil, stevia, coconut flakes, coconut flour, psyllium husk (a fiber-rich binding agent), and chopped dark chocolate. These are almost sugar-free, which makes them great for breakfast even if you usually avoid "sweet" breakfast foods.
Nut flours are popular in paleo cookies because of the fabulous texture they create, so it can be tricky to find nut-free cookie recipes that are soft and chewy. These cookies are the perfect ticket, with coconut sugar, honey, and sunflower butter or other smooth seed butter.
I love donuts, and I especially love donuts I don't have to feel guilty about snacking on or eating for breakfast occasionally. These healthier paleo donuts have a rich gingersnap flavor and are made from a base of coconut flour, cassava flour, and coconut milk.
These delicious little thumbprint cookies are made with a modest amount of sweetener and filled with a dollop of chocolate. I'm a huge fan of seedy cookies because they're heartier and I don't eat as many, but I still feel satisfied. These would be a fun lunchbox treat, I bet!
Want a dessert that's nut-free but isn't a baked good? Try this awesome panna cotta made smooth with almond or coconut milk and sweetened with pure maple syrup. Top it with sweet and fruity strawberry chia jam, or another favorite flavor. You could eat this for both breakfast and dessert, if you want!
You don't need nutty paleo granolas to make parfaits. Try this version with seeds, Medjool dates, cinnamon, shredded coconut, and a chocolate mousse made with avocado and coconut cream. You'll love all the healthy fats in this recipe, and the yummy banana sweetness, too!
I love a good crackly-top ginger cookie during the holiday season, and adding a touch of cardamom gives this batch an interesting twist that you won't quite be able to put your finger on. They're made with a base of tapioca and coconut flours. No nuts!
Many paleo pasta or pasta-like recipes use nut flours to get the right flavors and textures. Not this one! These gnocchi are made with purple sweet potato mash, arrowroot starch, and a luscious, silky tahini sauce flavored with minced garlic and parsley.
My brother-in-law makes awesome pumpkin rolls, but of course they're loaded with oodles of refined sugar and white flour. This year, maybe I'll make myself a healthier version with this arrowroot and coconut flour pumpkin roll, filled with a dairy free maple frosting.
These simple sandwich cookies are beloved by children and adults alike. They're made with coconut flour and plenty of butter (or ghee), and filled with a coconut butter minty filling colored green with vitamin-and-mineral-rich spinach! If you don't tell about the greens in the frosting, I won't tell either.
These yummy brownies are not for those who like their brownies cakey (who even are these people? I don't know any). They're made with plenty of coconut oil and cocoa powder and sweetened with honey. Add a touch of espresso powder to enhance the flavors.
Roasted nuts are awesome, but when you can't eat nuts, roasted seeds are even MORE awesome. These maple sriracha roasted pepitas are both spicy and sweet with hints of cinnamon and black pepper. They're perfectly packable and snackable, and once you start eating them, you won't be able to stop.
These yummy cookie dough balls are made with sunflower seed butter, ground golden flaxseed, coconut flour, stevia, vanilla, and raw cacao paste. They're loaded with superfoods and are sugar-free since they're sweetened with stevia. If you can't get cacao paste, just use chocolate chips.
Hummus is a much-beloved garbanzo bean dip that is, unfortunately, not paleo-friendly. Some alternative recipes use nuts to get the right texture, but this recipe uses zucchini to make a creamy dip that's brimming with tahini, garlic, fresh ginger, and olive oil.
Making brownies in your blender helps keep the mess under control, and it minimizes the number of dishes you'll have to do afterwards. It's also super fun! These brownies blend up with coconut oil, cacao powder, ample syrup, coconut sugar (in place of sucanat) and more.
This decadent chocolate granola is perfect for breakfast or snacks, or even a yummy dessert. You'll need coconut oil, coconut chips, sunflower, chia, and pumpkin seeds, along with vanilla, cinnamon, and cacao. Replace the puffed millet with additional seeds.
These easy cookies are both chewy in the middle and crispy around the edges, which is the best of both cookie worlds. They're sweetened with coconut sugar and maple syrup, along with blackstrap molasses, ginger, and a host of other amazing flavors.
These yummy, melty hearts remind me of a certain chocolate-covered minty cream candy that's especially good in the freezer in the summer, but is definitely not paleo or even remotely as healthy for you as these little peppermint heart candies are!
Think of how magical all these flavors are together! And then take a look at that heavenly banana bread with chocolate and a sweet lemon glaze poured over the top of it. Good thing you can make this without any nuts involved!
These muffins are totally full of nutritious ingredients like shredded carrots, applesauce, and full fat coconut milk. They make a deliciously hearty breakfast muffin you don't have to feel guilty about eating, and they're completely nut-free to boot!
Sometimes you just need a cupcake. I'm a sucker for fruity flavored desserts even though I do love chocolate and vanilla, so I'm excited to share these cupcakes. They're made with a coconut flour base and sweetened gently with maple syrup. Yum!
I love the idea of adding mashed banana to granola because it allows you to reduce the added sweetened content, and it also caramelizes so nicely and, of course, adds a sweet banana flavor that perfectly complements the sunflower seeds, coconut, flax seeds, and cinnamon.
You know the feeling. You're bored and your mouth wants something delicious, or maybe you just finished a workout and your body wants something calorie-dense. For those moments, try this edible cookie dough with mini chocolate chips and grass-fed butter or ghee.
These mug cakes are a fashionable trend, and for good reason. You rarely need a whole cake to satisfy the craving, and this very-vanilla cake will do the trick with pure maple syrup, coconut or almond milk, coconut flour, and melted butter or ghee.
These ice cream pops are made with bananas, coconut milk, sunflower seed butter, dark chocolate, coconut oil, and sunflower seeds. You'll get all that creamy ice cream along with the chunky monkey effect, but not a single nut in sight!

Becky Hill Gets Candid On New Single "Space"
Riding off the success of her chart topping single "Heaven On My Mind," Becky Hill brings us a new side of her on the anthemic, dance-ballad "Space."
"Space" tackles the differing ways in which emotional baggage affects a relationship. Opening with a melodic piano ostinato, the singer songwriter cuts deep with the first line: "It's like we're only honest on the weekend." Hill provides a glimpse into what it feels like to take the brunt of the blame from a partner, and, after one-to-many accusations, result in the need for space. She notes, though, how there is hope for the relationship when each person spends some time apart. Talking about the song's importance to her, Hill says:
"'Space' is a very personal song that seems a million miles away for me now. I'm proud of this song for many reasons. Actually, it's the most honest I've ever been with myself, let alone the public. Produced by Mark Ralph, Dave Whelan and Mike Di Scala, with vocal production from Ryan Ashley, this song has felt like a step up and a step out for me as an artist."
Whereas "Heaven On My Mind" exemplified personal growth, "Space" acknowledges the backroads you may need to take when navigating a relationship with a partner trying to figure out their own personal baggage.
Hill has set listeners up perfectly for what is next to come for the powerhouse singer. With her debut album anticipated to release March 19th, 2021, Becky Hill is proving once again what makes her Britain's most in demand musical export.

The Sears Clinical Law Teaching Fellowship on Sexual and Reproductive Health, Law and Policy (JPF06028)
The Sears Clinical Law Teaching Fellowship on Sexual and Reproductive Health, Law and Policy
Apply now to The Sears Clinical Law Teaching Fellowship on Sexual and Reproductive Health, Law and Policy
School Of Law - LAW
Open November 24th, 2020 through Wednesday, Jan 20, 2021 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time)
UCLA Law's Williams Institute and Experiential Education Program seek applications for the Sears Clinical Law Teaching Fellowship for 2021-2024. Applicants who intend to pursue a career as a clinical professor and/or public interest lawyer engaged in legislative lawyering and policy work are invited to apply if their practice or research interests are focused on the intersections of sexual and reproductive health, LGBTQ rights, and racial and economic justice.
We invite applications from those practicing or working in law, policy, and other disciplinary traditions. Applicants must have a clear legislative lawyering and/or policy focus, be interested in experiential teaching, and should have career or research interests that center questions of sexual and reproductive health, sexuality (broadly defined) and gender identity, and racial and economic justice. We are particularly interested in candidates who have an interest in religious liberty arguments to limit both reproductive rights and LGBTQ non-discrimination protections. We seek candidates who will bring our two programs together, infusing each with the ideas and work of the other.
The fellowship offers opportunities for experiential teaching and research designed to prepare the fellow to seek a permanent or tenure-track experiential faculty position at a law school, or an advanced position as a public interest lawyer focused on public policy or legislative lawyering. The fellow will be expected to co-teach or teach in experiential courses at UCLA Law for at least one semester each year of the three-year fellowship. During the summer and semesters when the fellow is not teaching, the fellow would be fully engaged with policy and scholarly research projects. The law school will provide teaching mentorship, as well as research support and faculty guidance on research and writing projects.
The law teaching fellowship programs of The Williams Institute and the Experiential Education Program at UCLA Law are some of the oldest in the nation. Together, they have supported over twenty law teaching fellows to secure tenure track appointments at law schools nationwide. Past fellows have secured faculty positions at top law schools including UCLA, UC Davis, UC Irvine, Wisconsin, and Yale.
Eligibility and Qualifications
UCLA School of Law seeks candidates committed to the highest standards of teaching, scholarship and professional activities, and to a campus climate, that supports equality and diversity. A fellowship candidate should possess (or expect to possess by June 30, 2021): a JD or equivalent legal training; a strong academic record; at least two years of practice experience (more preferred); admission to any U.S. bar, California preferred; excellent analytical and writing skills; an aptitude for student supervision; a collegial style; and demonstrated interest and background in sexual and reproductive health and sexual orientation and gender identity law and policy. In addition, we welcome candidates who possess graduate training in other disciplines, or other personal or professional background that informs their research and teaching interests. The fellowship is for three years, based upon satisfactory completion of each year of the fellowship. Those with previous postdoctoral scholar experience will be limited to no more than five total years of postdoctoral experience including time spent at UCLA.
Terms of the Fellowship
The Sears Clinical Law Teaching Fellow will be appointed for the academic year beginning July 1, 2021 and must be in residence in Los Angeles at UCLA. The fellowship is renewable for a second and third year, contingent on the fellow's satisfactory progress. The fellowship offers a salary of approximately $70,000 per year and full benefits.
The fellow's responsibilities include:
• co-teaching or teaching at least one experiential course annually;
• engaging in substantial public policy or academic writing each year;
• assisting with Williams Institute and Experiential Education programs, such as symposia, journal, moot court competitions, panels, and workshops;
• mentoring J.D. and L.L.M. students, both formally and informally;
• participating in the intellectual life of the law school by attending faculty workshops, specialized colloquia, and the like.
Confidential review of applications, nominations, and expressions of interest will begin immediately and continue until an appointment is made. To ensure full consideration, applications should be received by Wednesday, January 20, 2021 but will be considered thereafter until the position is filled.

'Tis the holiday season, and this year the Internet offers a fascinating new aspect to holiday giving, through "crowdfunding" -- direct person-to-person support for things that you are passionate about.
This can be philanthropy for individuals and organizations in need through websites like GoFundMe and DonorsChoose, early funding for artists and entrepreneurs creating new works and products through sites like Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and RocketHub, and even directly sponsoring artists through sites like Patreon.
The crowdfunding model brings together creators on a mission with groups of individual contributors who provide small donations that add up to a new flowering of charity, artistic expression, and product invention. And this is serious business -- there are multiple such sites that have raised billions of dollars from tens of millions of donors.
My holiday tech coverage for this year explore these possibilities for both your holiday giving and your holiday shopping.
Crowdfunding Examples -- Recent crowdfunded projects, from personal and organizational fundraising, to musicians and artists, to creators and entrepreneurs who have taken advantage of this new world.
And yes, including the Cat Ear Headphones from Brookstone.
Crowdfunding Sites - Breakdown of different kinds of crowdfunding sites, including charitable, creative, artists, investment, and lending.
Includes site summaries, statistics, types of projects, fees, and noteworthy successes.
Holiday Giving: A Digital Twist to Coins in the Kettle.
My Holiday Gadgets 2015 selections include both commercial and crowdfunded products (see previous post).
I've focused on some innovative gift ideas from both commercial and crowdfunded sources, to make your mobile technology both more efficient and more fun.
These also continue themes from last year's coverage, including wireless speakers, cables and portable batteries, portable storage, and accessories.
There also are exciting developments in app-enabled toys that are fun for kids and adults, including Brookstone's BB-8 App-Enabled Droid by Sphero.
Full article in Princeton's U.S. 1 Newspaper: Gift Ideas for the Mobile Tech Crowd.
Yes, Cat Ear Headphones from Brookstone -- really.
These are the brainchild of Victoria Hu and Wenqing Yan, recent graduates of the University of California at Berkeley who are also anime fans (think of Japanese cartoon drawings with waifish figures that often incorporate animal features).
They thought it would be cool to have cat-ear headphones with an anime look.
So they did the product design, worked out the manufacturing, produced prototypes, and then started a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo to try to raise the $250,000 they needed to get to market.
And it turned out people really, really liked the idea -- They raised $3.4 million in pre-orders from 21,000 backers in November 2014, at an introductory price around $115.
And the story gets better. Indiegogo then approached Brookstone, which signed up to bring the headphones to market for this holiday season, along with two other crowdfunded projects.
The Cat Ear Headphones do indeed have cat ears. These are actually external speakers, so you can continue to listen and share your music when you take off the headphones. And they have LED accent lights around the earcups and on the ears. The lights and speakers are controlled by separate buttons.
The Cat Ear Headphones are now generally available for $149, with your choice of LED colors -- blue, green, purple, or red.
And they do make people smile when they put them on.
- See Crowdfunding Examples for more on fun crowdfunded projects.
The original Sphero app-enabled robotic ball that I covered two years ago (see earlier post) is lots of fun -- for driving, racing, programming, or messing with toddlers and cats on the floor.
This season's addition is the Star Wars-themed BB-8 App-Enabled Droid (also available from Brookstone).
The BB-8 not only rolls freely under smartphone control, but adds a separate head that floats on top as the body rolls -- physically implementing the computer graphics effect from the movie.
The head actually is attached magnetically, and rolls along the surface of the ball with small wheels -- although it does fall off if you smack into a wall too hard, which also causes the BB-8 to stop and pout.
You can drive the BB-8 from the smartphone app (iOS or Android), and have it perform predefined actions (like shaking its head "yes" and "no").
It's pretty fast, with a top speed of 4.5 mph (7 feet/sec.), although you can set a maximum speed limit for smaller spaces. It communicates over Bluetooth, over a range of up to 100 feet.
You also can set up the BB-8 to patrol autonomously, exploring an area and feeding back sensor information (speed, temperature, graph of motions), although it really is not mapping out the space.
The BB-8 also responds to voice commands ("OK BB-8 -- Wake Up, Go to Sleep, Look Around, Go Explore").
And you can record "virtual holographic videos" in the smartphone app.
The BB-8 is palm-sized at 4 1/2 by 3 inches (11.4 x 7.3 cm), and relatively light at just over 7 ounces. It recharges wirelessly in the charging base for a play time of around an hour.
The BB-8 App-Enabled Droid is generally available for $149.

As an example of the kind of ingenuity that can be enabled by crowdfunding, the Digitsole Warm Series is a new "connected heated insole."
If you're working outside in cold weather, just slide this replacement insole into your shoes and your feet now can be toasty warm, with the temperature remotely controlled from your smartphone over wireless Bluetooth.
Each insole has a thermostat to regulate the temperature in your shoe, from 20°C / 68°F to 45°C / 113°F. They also have an accelerometer to count steps as a pedometer to log your distance walked and calories burned.
The Warm Series are designed with a shock-absorbing heel, flexible front, arch support, and sidewalls for stability. They are made from PU Neotech, with the top a soft touch PU micro-fiber.
And they are designed to resist the hostile environment of your feet, with the electornics sealed in a bubble under your heel for weather resistance and shock resistance to 500 kg / 1100 pounds.
The battery provides power for 7 to 8 hours, depending on usage, and recharges in an hour and a half.
The Digitsole Warm Series Insole is availaable for $199, in US mens sizes 4 to 13 / woman 5.5 to 10, and EUR 36 to 47.
The Ozobot Bit is a tiny one-inch wheeled robot that provides a clever path to get kids involved in programming robotic behavior.
It starts with a stunningly simple idea -- The Bit simply follows the path of lines that you draw on a piece of paper.
Then you can start controlling it by drawing color patterns on the path, which are interpreted as commands to have it change speed or direction, count down, and execute other pre-defined moves.
Now your kids are having fun planning races and solving mazes, while learning problem solving and deductive reasoning. Sneaky!
For more fun, you can visit the Ozobot Gamezone to download free mazes, playgrounds, racetracks, and strategy or luck games.
But that's just the beginning, since you can integrate the Bit with smartphones and computers. As kids get more into controlling the motion, they can go online and design simple programs by linking together a series of blocks with the same kinds of commands.
The Ozobot Bit is available in white and black starting at $59. It's a stunningly clever way to expose kids to thinking about programming while they're having fun.
I'm a big fan of portable Bluetooth speakers to share the music from our portable devices.
There are nice small more portable speakers for an office space or hotel room, and larger ones to pump up the sound for a party.
And there's the Sound Blaster Roar 2 -- the kitchen sink of portable Bluetooth speakers, loaded with features.
It starts as a powerful speaker, including five drivers with built-in subwoofer. You also can enhance the sound with loudness and bass sound boost modes.
You can connect it wirelessly to your phone or tablet or laptop over Bluetooth (switching between two devices), and also using NFC. Or you can connect the old fashioned way with an analog cable. Plus you can connect directly to a PC or Mac or PlayStation 4 with a USB cable, and it will serve as an external digital speaker.
Or you can use the Roar 2 as a stand-alone music player -- It has a microSD card slot that you can load with music files. Of course, with the card slot and a USB connection, you also can use it as an external drive for your computer.
Plus there's also a built-in microphone so you can use the Roar 2 as a wireless speakerphone, or record to the SD card -- either from the mic or from Bluetooth.
Of course, the Roar 2 has a built-in battery that runs about 8 hours, and recharges in 2 1/2 to 3 hours. So, of course, you even can use it as a phone charger.
Even with all these features, the Roar 2 is relatively small at 2.0 x 7.4 x 4.3 inches, but does weigh a noticeable 2.2 pounds.
The Sound Blaster Roar 2 is an impressive portable speaker, available for around $169.
You may not need all of its plethora of features, but they are certainly handy. For example, you can connect it to your laptop to work as a digital speaker when playing YouTube videos, and then switch to playing music wirelessly from your iPhone.

When it comes to moving to a new area, it can be overwhelming trying to decide if you want to buy or rent your new home. If you are looking to do a move within one month, please read to help you in your adventure.
Will you be renting your new home?
It is recommended that you rent if you will be living in the area for less than two years. Our market is great, however, if you try to sell your home after owning it for two years, chances are you will not make the profit that you will want. Investors are always encouraged to buy regardless of how long they will be in the area.
To find your rental, you can look at rentals on a Monday, and possibly move into the home that Wednesday. Rentals depend on when the current tenants will be out.
Money you will need to rent - first and last month's rent, pay credit report fee, money to switch over your utilities.
Will you be buying your new home?
Buying a home can be a great investment for you/your family.
Money you will need to buy a home - Earnest Money Deposit ($500 under $200,000, $1,000 over $200,000), appraisal fee $450 (needed within 1 week of offer acceptance). When using my recommended lender, many times you will not bring money to the closing table between negotiating in closing cost fees from the seller, and a lender's credit. Unless, you have a down payment that needs to be paid.
You can start looking at homes on April 1st, find the home you want by April 2nd and close on your new home as fast as 3 -4 weeks. Sometimes, the home buyer can take possession of the home prior to closing, depending on the seller's situation.
Within 1 day after closing on your home, you will need to pay to get the utilities switched over into your name. Some water companies need a deposit to turn your water on. ONWASA's deposit ranges from $150 - $300 depending on your credit score. This money is refundable in three years if you are on time with all of your payments.
Will you be living in base housing?
Call the housing office before relocating to see if there is a waiting list, and how long it is.
The Jacksonville, NC area has many great benefits to home buying. If you would like to take a look at homes on the real estate market for sale, take a look below. It would be my pleasure to represent you in the purchase of your new home.
Also, if you are buying a home from overseas, read my information on buying a home "site-unseen."


This deck relies on Bard son of Brand and King of Dale to put Dale allies from all spheres into play. Círdan the Shipwright works well with his fellow Noldor Glorfindel, who he can ready and boost using his ring Narya. Glorfindel can be brought out more quickly by sacrificing cards if To the Sea, to the Sea! comes out early enough. Lindir is currently the only other Noldor in the deck, but others such as Arwen Undómiel, Elrohir, Eregion Survivor, or Sailor of Lune could be included. Putting the Necklace of Girion on Bard will give him extra resources to help pay for non- attachments, since he has to pay for them himself. It also makes him a better quester.
The third hero can be almost any hero, and Éowyn is always a default choice for solo play because her is so high. Lanwyn offers more and has range, so might be preferable for multiplayer. She can also make use of some of the Scout attachments. Brand son of Bain is also a possibility, however he will make it more difficult to pay for some of the Spirit cards, particularly Glorfindel. Including Brand will require some tweaking, and I will probably put together a version of this deck with him in the future.
What I like about this deck is that you can include attachments & Dale allies from any sphere (although for non- attachments, it's best if they're low cost, since Bard son of Brand has to pay for them by himself). 0 cost attachments like Cram and Spare Hood and Cloak might be useful additions, but once again, I don't own those cards! 0 cost attachments will become especially useful if Brand son of Bain is used as the third hero.
The deck name refers to the Running River, which is called the Celduin in Elvish, as seen in the name of the Celduin Traveler ally. The town of Dale, where Bard and Lanwyn are from, was (re-)built along the shores of the Celduin, so I thought this deck could represent Cirdan passing through the region (not that decks need to be thematic, but it's fun to imagine).

Watch RTI 1 Live TV from Cote d'Ivoire
Last Update: June 2, 2018 at 6:47 pm
General TV Channel / La Première is a pioneering terrestrial television channel in Côte d'Ivoire. It was formerly named Radio Télévision Ivoirienne (RTI), (the name of the company operating it) from 1963 to 1983, but in 1983 a new television channel made it necessary for the channel to be renamed to La Première. It was first broadcast on August 7, 1963, established by the then President of the Republic Félix Houphouët-Boigny who wanted to make it an instrument of development. On 4 August 1966, two studios in Cocody, 100m2 and 400m2 respectively were built with quality equipment. In 1973 the station began broadcasting in color. Following the launch of a second television channel, CH2 on December 9, 1983, RTI was renamed La Première. The state-controlled television broadcasting entity is Radiodiffusion Television ivoirienne (RTI).

Because heaven forfend our identities be stolen (and heaven helps those who help themselves), we shred papers that bear, in one of those phrases that define our times, "personally identifiable information." Our city-county, however, doesn't want shredded paper in the recycling collection because it's too fine for the monster-machines that pick through the single-stream to sort it out. So I've been saving our shreds for garden mulch. A friend offered hers as well. Thus, over the winter, a baby mountain of bags grew on our front porch, and what had seemed like a good idea became clutter.
I'll cover it with a layer of leaves, and then it may toil with the soil to grow some goodness.
I've mentioned before that we have a lot of rotting wood cluttering our yard, most of it left after selective tree removal by previous owners of our property. It's too far gone to use for firewood, so I've slowly been incorporating it into a structure I call our hugelkultur mound. It isn't what's usually meant by hugelkultur, since I plan to plant it with eastern redcedars (Juniperus virginiana) rather than grow vegetables on it, but the idea is the same: wood buried under organic matter that's used as a growth medium.
Now, however, we have a new use for some of that old wood.
Our lot is covered with second-growth oak-hickory woods, so we don't have enough sunlight for vegetable gardening except in the narrow opening beside the street. Thus I sited my garden there. It hasn't been ideal; the soil is the nutrient-depleted red clay endemic to the US southern piedmont. (That poverty is partly due to its extreme geologic age—minerals have leached out over the millions of years—but mostly are a consequence of the disastrous practices that went with cultivating cotton from the late 18th through early 20th centuries). It's also quite compacted and on a slope. With those challenges, I've satisfied myself (and the local white-tailed deer herd) with a modest plot … until now.
Nimue signed off on expanding operations, so yesterday I let a tiller beat me up for two hours as I turned 600 square feet of hardpan into a nascent Eden. Well, that's optimistic, but it's stirred up, at least. Since I don't want it to wash down the hill in our first summer thunderstorm, I'll shovel and rake it into terraces, and frame them with chunks of the old wood. They will serve both to help retain the soil (as they quietly melt into it) and mark the border. "Something special is happening here!" they'll say.
I've just begun placing the wood blocks, but you get the idea … kind of like playing with blocks!
Indeed, scallions will happen! And potato onions! Egyptian walking onions! Tomatoes! Heirloom cowhorn okra grown for decades by Nimue's grandparents, entrusted for preservation to me! Squash, in the prickliest varieties I can find to dissuade the deer! Though if they take an occasional leaf, I'll accept it. Because there is enough, and shall be.
Comments welcome … might some unlikely thing in your world be transformed by a new use?
Recipe: place cracked eggshells in the wells of a cardboard egg carton. Fill with seed starting mix and sow at recommended planting depth. When ready to set out seedlings, cut the wells apart and gently squeeze to break the eggshells. Plant seedling, shell, and carton; the paper will decompose.
Beauty and usefulness are our standards for retaining a thing in the WIST household. Generally, either knowing something to be useful or believing it to be beautiful are sufficient. Tonight, however, I want to shed a cup that's gotten chipped, and it presents a quandary. The damage isn't so bad we can't use it, but it has lost its beauty in my eyes.
I'm not sure why that is. I know that sometimes we're pleased to have our expectations of symmetry satisfied, and other times we want what surprises. And often we take them together, like the dissonant notes before the resolution of the chord. That might be part of why many items become more beautiful to me as their initial perfection fades. I love how the finish and fittings on Slowjourner Truth, my touring and commuting bicycle, offer a visible record of the many miles we've traveled. Slow isn't factory-perfect, but he's real. That doesn't work, however, in the case of the cup.
Maybe it's that there's no story to the chip. The piece just fell away one day, and now there's a slightly sharp edge there I want my lips to avoid. Well, enough aesthetics and ethics—it's in no condition to give away, so I'll break it into shards and use them to improve drainage in the bottom of a planter. Now there's a use.
Comments welcome … what do you think about that constellation of beauty and usefulness?
In what's almost an annual event, we shed t-shirts again.
In the affluent parts of the West, t-shirts are easily acquired. They're frequently issued as mementos of occasions and to supply a "uniform" for those sharing a volunteer day or amateur athletic event. That's how Nimue and I add several to our t-shirt drawer every year … most of the "charity" rides include one in the goodie bag, so taking the tandem makes it x2.
After last year's purge, I took a dozen cycling-themed shirts to the second-hand bike shop to give away. Today we subtracted eight: two were demoted to rags, and six are bound for the thrift store.
Comments welcome … would you feel lighter giving the t-shirt off your back?
Our friends J. and D. are marrying early this summer. Their planning has arrived at the point a thousand specific decisions must be made, each with potential to express who they are, individually and together. Some couples, usually younger and with less experience of themselves, can hardly stand the strain. But our friends are enjoying plying their creativity, and we look forward to their weekly reports.
This evening we learned something about the table centerpieces for their reception. I don't know what will rest on top, but they will build the bases of old computer books. J. and D. met through computers, they work them hard and play with them harder, and nothing could be more appropriate … well, lacking a dusty horde of old external 2400-baud modems.
They have, however, kept their libraries fairly current. Where to get a hundred or so utterly deprecated computer books? —From friends like Nimue and me, of course. So tonight I ventured into the lair of Tiamat, the primordial chaos dragon, in search of Understanding Red Hat Linux 3.0. Though I swear it's in there, doubtless with the accompanying CD-ROM, I couldn't find it. Failure wasn't complete: I removed a handful of other candidates. They make my shed today.
Does anyone else think those top two titles had to be a joke?
And as soon as I can get bread to leave a trail of crumbs, I'm going back in the lair … er, the library … because I love picturing that cement block of a Linux bible at the reception, holding up a vase. As my last sight of it, forever and ever, amen.
Thanks to The Snail of Happiness for suggesting that toilet paper roll tubes, cut in half and stuffed with a growing medium, make even better pots for starting seeds than those pressed out of peat that the garden centers sell. The homemade version doesn't deplete peat bogs!
Also, two Zaxby's "Zalad" trays offered themselves for use as mini-greenhouses. So, as close as our recycling bin and compost pile, I found everything I need to sow Amish Paste tomato seeds. For the win!
