The darkening sky pushed the crimson sun towards the horizon, and the blue sky gave way to orange as a familiar figure appeared at the gateway. I thought I was hallucinating at first, but then it hit me that it was not possible. She stared at me from afar and bit her nails; I suppose she was wondering if she should have come at all. Her hesitating silhouette stood motionless in front of the iron gates. But then she stepped in and as she moved towards me, I saw that she had brought me blood red roses; I smiled in spite of myself, I could not believe she had remembered.
She placed the flowers right beside me and looked at me with grim, grey eyes. She still had faint traces of laugh lines but her frown lines were much more pronounced than I had remembered. Her hair too, was different: straight, brown and tame instead of wild auburn. I felt like shaking her till she woke up from the trance she was in and telling her that the facade of normalcy she was putting on was not going to impress me at all.
And as she read, I relived it all in my head, as I had millions of times in the last 20 years we had been apart. My mind tinged these memories in a romantic sepia shade as we walked hand in hand in the deserted roads of our hometown. I could hear the crunch of the autumn leaves as we stepped on them carelessly. We swore that we would change the world someday. I fell in love with her more and more each time I thought about that day. The taste of chocolates still lingered on my tongue and I could still see her tangled auburn hair disheveled in the chilly wind. I gave her a bouquet of roses with this very poem written in a piece of paper hidden in it. It was the best day of my life.
That was the day before the accident. The day before I lost myself, plunging into a dark abyss. The day before I died. She didn't come to my funeral. I left a piece of my soul in my grave, hoping that she would be here someday. It only took her 20 years.

Jonathan "John" Smith
John Smith was born in 1930 and lived in North East, Maryland during World War II. His mother owned a boardinghouse that housed laborers from many different war-related industries, including munitions plant and construction workers.
In his interview, he talks about his experiences living in the boardinghouse and the many ways North East and nearby Elkton changed because of the war. He also discusses his work as a butcher in a grocery store and as salesperson for a scrap metal business. He also recalls his experience with plane spotting and Mexican Railroad workers.
http://nationalhomefrontproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/How-Mothers-Boardinghouse-Changed.mp3
How Mother's Boardinghouse Changed
Well, she ran a boardinghouse is what she did. Before the war there were no motels or hotels along the road. And the main street that we lived on was Route 40. So people would come at night anywhere from 6 o'clock to 12, midnight, beat on your door wanting to know if you had a room to stay in. So we rented rooms to people like that. Then with the big construction boom that came with the war was Bainbridge Naval Training Station and Port Deposit was built there. Then, Aberdeen Proving Ground, they were expanding. And, of course, the war industries here, like Triumph, they were all building. So [then] most of our boarders came from there.
http://nationalhomefrontproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Plane-Spotting.mp3
Now one thing we had, we had airplane spotters. I did a little bit of that. What happened was, in back of the high school athletic field, there was a little shack not much bigger than some of these storage buildings. It was maintained 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You had a telephone in there with a direct hookup on it, and every time a plane went over, you had to call in and tell them which direction it was going in, whether it was single engine, whether it was duel engine or four engines, and what direction it was heading, and what time it was. It was volunteer, but you were assigned to it. I did some of it. At night, I worked with my cousin; he was older than I was. You usually had two people there. And it went to one big plotting board where somebody would plot the plane and where it went. This was mainly a morale boosting thing that let the civilian population feel they were helping with the war effort. Because when you think [about] it, in retrospect, Germany didn't have any planes – or Japan – capable of reaching the United States.
http://nationalhomefrontproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Scrap-Metal-Salesman.mp3
Scrap Metal Salesman
There was scrap metal drives, I was in the scrap business. A lot of people never did what I did, but when you're poor, you hustle anything. I guess I was a hustler. Because what I did, I went around and collected scrap paper, anything in the way of scrap. And I had a wagon like an old Radio Flyer. And we had in the back of our house, we had a two story barn back there. And I would take it back there and store it, and any other scrap metal I could pick up. And every so often, the buyers would come by and they would come and stop there and I would sell it to them. Maybe you would get 25 cents, maybe a hundred or something like that. But when you don't have any money, you couldn't go to mother and say "give me a dollar."
I went out and hustled to get it. Knocked on doors, asked people for it. So I'd collect it. And a lot of people [weren't] collecting it themselves, they didn't want to be bothered with it. They'd give it to you.
They knew I was, I assumed they knew I was selling it. There were other people bigger than I am who had a scrap business. We lost a lot of things to the war that were metal that were scrapped that we could have kept: a lot of wrought iron fences and doors and things like that, and a lot of automobiles that went to the scrap that antique automobile people would love to have.
http://nationalhomefrontproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Mexican-Railroad-Workers.mp3
Mexican Railroad Workers
Now someplace between North East [Maryland] and Newark, Delaware was a camp of Mexican railroad workers. They did the track work on the railroads. But nobody has been able to tell me where that camp was. In fact, when I worked in the grocery store, one of the jobs I did was bone racks of lamb to make lamb stew for the Mexican railroad workers. And looking into this, one of the great injustices was done. We imported 75,000 Mexican railroad workers to work on the railroads in this country. And at the end of that, [if] they stayed [to] the end their contract, they were supposed to get $3,500 bonus. Now when it came time for that, we paid the bonus to the Mexican government instead of the workers, and the Mexican government never paid them for it. There's still a case in the courts; one man who's 86 is trying to demand his money.
http://nationalhomefrontproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Celebrating-the-End-of-the-War.mp3
Celebrating the End of the War
We had at the end of Japan, there was a huge celebration. The whole town turned out in the streets; it was a spontaneous thing. Half the town got drunk, no doubt about it. My aunt broke out her dandelion wine she'd had for a long time. I consumed too much of it.
http://nationalhomefrontproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Butcher-Job.mp3
Butcher Job
It worked at the grocery store. I did cut some meat, like you usually do. Worked for a man who was a very good butcher, but he swore I'd never make it because I was left-handed. One of the things we'd do – we took lunchmeat, when it gets old a little bit and gets a sort of greasy slime on the outside, we would take the tubes of it and wash it in baking soda water and put it back in. And another thing, when you were making hamburgers, grinding hamburger, we'd take the lunchmeat butts – you know, where you can't slice them on the slicer anymore – take the covers off, throw that in, grind it up, put tomato puree in it so it would all look red.

Paris Through The Seasons
By Margaux de Saint Preuve
All ArticlesFranceFrance Photography
How living in Paris does it looks like?
I'll give you a season after season answer.
I'm 21, I moved from the sunny Provence to the City of Lights aka Paris a few months ago and since, the life here is an everyday journey through history and arts. Well, and through rainy weather too, let's admit that.
My passion is mostly photography and cinema, as I'm a photographer and a director.
This city is most likely the #1 destination for tourism, and I guess most of you have a lot of conventional ideas about this city. I had the same when I moved here. But this is a fascinating city, with as many faces as it has quarters.
Here is one of my secret spots where I go every time I need a break from the constant movement and the city's noises.
The Père-Lachaise Cemetery is the largest cemetery in Paris with a surface of 43 hectares. As you may know, Paris unlike New York or London doesn't have big parks in its center. So this cemetery is the only place you can lose yourself and forget the city around. It's located in the 20th arrondissement, on the metro line 2 (Stop Père-Lachaise). You can't miss it.
There are many entrances for the cemetery; I love to try a new one each time I go so that I can explore a new side of it. The quietness is a must, needless to say, and even if a lot of tourists came every year, you wouldn't be disturbed. Don't hesitate to lose the track and wander around the forgotten tombstones. The tombs are let in their states if no one takes care of it, so you have a real feeling of decay in some parts of the cemetery considering the age of the tombstones. The time does its works on them, and for as long as you stay in this place, you will feel as if the time stopped.
Amongst the most famous people buried here, you will see Oscar Wilde, Frederic Chopin, Jim Morrison, many French writers like Alfred de Musset or Guillaume Appolinaire, Honoré de Balzac…
I love Chopin's history, in particular, the way his body is buried in Paris because he loved this city and asked that his heart was sealed in a church's wall in Warsaw. This church is one of the only buildings which wasn't destroyed by the German air force during WW2. A lot of Polish tourists came to flourish his tomb, and you can even find a piece of a partition sometimes.

Having been on our fashion radar for about six years, Jeggings are well and truly here to stay. They've been embraced from the girl who works at the newsagent to Beyoncé – and we know Beyoncé can do no wrong.
And in the past, we've all obediently followed the rules "Think of jeggings as leggings, and style them accordingly" Specifically, that they are not pants.
But as the years have rolled on, more manufacturers are naming items of clothing jeggings. These days if you hit the shops you can find jeans with a whole lot of stretch in them called jeggings. You'll be able to spot leggings with a denim look that are calling themselves jeggings. You may even spot tights in the hosiery section that have been dyed a shade of blue to look like jeans and with the word 'jegging' on it's little cardboard package.
As such, the 'rules' for wearing jeggings need to be reassessed and updated in 2016.
Here's a simple checklist to help you figure out where your jeggings sit on the jeans to leggings spectrum, and therefore learn whether to style them as you would a pair of leggings – ie. don't wear them as pants – or as your favourite pair of skinny jeans ie. wear them with whatever the hell you are comfortable in.
Are they made of a woven fabric?
Do they have a waistband and zippered fly?
Can you see folds of fabric creasing horizontally around the crotch?
Do they have pockets (in particular on the back)?
Are the seams stitched on?
If you've answered yes to each of these questions about your jeggings, it's likely you can style them as you would a pair of skinny jeans.
Conversely, if your jeggings have an elasticized waistband, are showing any glimpse of camel-toe or bottom crackage, don't have any pockets (or the pockets are faux), are made from a knit fabric, and have painted on seams, it's more likely you've got a pair of jeggings that are more of the legging variety. Specifically, they are not pants, and should be worn accordingly.
Given how many variations of jeggings there are around though, you'll find some pairs that sit in the middle of the jean to legging spectrum. And this type of jegging is the one to look out for.
This pair from Rockmans is a great case in point. They have an elasticized waist and no pockets, yet the heavy Cotton/Poly fabric feels exactly like denim with stretch. The seams are well stitched – and even feature stitched biker style panels around the knees. And importantly, there is no evidence of downstairs front cleavage.
So I chose to style these as I would a pair of skinny jeans with a classic stiped t-shirt, a denim vest, and my favourite biker style boots.
The bonus with this type of jegging is they've got all the polish of a jean, with the comfort of a legging – The Ultimate Jegging. So they'll take me from a day at work, running errands, school pick-up, to the boys soccer training, and even out to dinner with a few tweaks to my outfit.
So they're the perfect versatile addition to your wardrobe.
And best of all they're only $49.99 from Rockmans.
Click here for a Q&A I did with Rockmans about my day-to-day and why these jeggings are a key part of my wardrobe.
Do you have any rules you live by regarding jeggings that I've missed?

2020 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible Review
The attainable mid-engined supercar
SAN DIEGO — The Corvette is a special car. I think it's partially because it's always punched a bit above its weight class when it comes to speed and performance, but mostly because it's always been the attainable sports car.
A factory worker or a plumber could work hard, save their pennies, and when they're 50 or so (and the kids are out of the house), they could go out and buy one. The 2019 Corvette started in the mid-$50's and launched upwards from there depending on which variant you opted for, but even that $57,000 base version packed a lot of bang for your mid-life crisis buck.
A McLaren or a Ferrari isn't a realistic goal for a normal person, even a used one. They're just too expensive to purchase and even more too expensive to maintain. That's why it was so impressive when Chevrolet unveiled the new "C8" Corvette last year and declared that the base Stingray Coupe would start under $60,000.
See, the new 2020 "C8" is mid-engined. That means the driver sits in front of the engine, which itself sits just ahead of the rear wheels. This means the car is better balanced, which means the potential for greater performance. As an added bonus, it looks cool and different. A single glance at the new Corvette and even non-car people know that there's something curious going on.
With the older Corvette (and, in fact, every older Corvette), the big, heavy engine sat over the front wheels which means the center of gravity is further forward. Corvette engineers said at the announcement that the prior, outgoing model was as far as they could push a front-engine, rear-drive car. Now, with a mid-engine setup, the Corvette could be harder, better, faster, stronger. And boy howdy, is it ever.
Last year, when it was unveiled, we knew that it would be mid-engined. Years of leaks had shown us that, but the price was still a mystery. I put the over/under at $100,000 and guessed that Chevy would make the under. But at $60,000 for a mid-engined car, there must be some serious compromises, right?
Not so fast. My test car this week was a 2020 Corvette Convertible: a standard base model 1LT clocking in at a mere $67,495 out the door. You can't actually buy one for that much because there are extremely long waiting lists, but theoretically that's what you'd pay.
It had no options fitted, so this was the true entry-level convertible (which costs $7,500 more than a similarly equipped coupe. But even so, it was well-equipped, with a 6.2-liter V8 making 490 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. These days that's not OMG amounts of power, with the Dodge Charger Hellcat making more than 700 horses, but it's still a prodigious amount.
Getting in a mid-engined car is a bit tricky, but the Corvette is better than most. Put one leg in, put butt on side of seat, then slide. Reverse the procedure to get out. It's not the most dignified thing, but Chevy knows its target market is older dudes and it's not too hard to manage. Getting in and out of a Lamborghini Huracan is a serious challenge compared to the new Corvette.
In front of you is the square-circle-squircle steering wheel, an excellently positioned infotainment display that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (and wireless CarPlay coming in 2021 models, hallelujah). There are two cupholders that can hold the largest drink cups that Starbucks or 7-11 have on offer (which is an impressive achievement for any sports car, honestly) and a bizarre strip of buttons running down the middle that control the heating and cooling in the car. Just set it to auto and find a temperature that works and forget it.
Behind you is that massive V8 and you can't see the engine or what's behind you or much of anything. Sitting low in a mid-engined car means you don't really know what's behind you. That's ok, because it's what's in front that matters.
Pull a switch on the driver's door and the hard-top roof drops or raises in just 16 seconds and, even more impressively, it can be done at speeds up to 30 mph. This is a serious quality of life improvement and the engineering to make it possible must have been mind-blowing.
Put the hammer down and the car launches, with all the fury and fire and squealing tires — and it gets from 0-60 in less than three seconds if you do everything correctly. For $68,000. You could put a 1 at the front of that price and I'd think it was reasonable.
I've run out of room in this column, but I'll leave you with this: This car, even in the stripped down 1LT form, is the best sports car America has ever made. It is best sports car you can buy for the price from anywhere in the world.
Now go to your nearest Chevy dealer and order one pronto (or call my friend Todd at Johnson Auto Plaza in Brighton, Colorado. If I refer five Corvette buyers I'll get a free hat or something, so be sure to tell him I sent you).

The San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau, a nonprofit agency that promotes local tourism and is also known as ConVis, is moving this month into new quarters at Symphony Towers, a downtown office building owned by Newport Beach-based Irvine Co.
A statement from Irvine Co. said that the bureau will be moving into 20,000 square feet that it has leased at Symphony Towers, located at 750 B St. ConVis is relocating from a 14,000-square-foot retail building in Little Italy, where it has been for the past five years.
Symphony Towers, built in 1989 and since renovated, is among the tallest buildings in San Diego County. It was built around Copley Symphony Hall, home to the San Diego Symphony orchestra, and its top-floor tenant is the private University Club Atop Symphony Towers.
ConVis President and CEO Joe Terzi said the bureau looked elsewhere in the downtown and University Towne Center areas before selecting the Symphony Towers site.
"We do bring in and entertain people to get them to hold meetings here, so having the University Club is a great way to showcase San Diego County as a premier destination," Terzi said.
ConVis Considers Making Some Hotels "Pay to Play"

Sometimes it's hard to believe people's strength in dealing with the changing behavior of a loved one who has Alzheimer's.
I was blown away after hearing about the concept of mistaken attachments -- where the Alzheimer's patient forgets about his or her spouse and falls in love with someone else.
That's exactly what happened to Sandra Day O'Connor, the retired Supreme Court Justice from Arizona who stepped down when her husband was in the early stages of Alzheimer's.
He fell in love with another woman -- much to the Justice's relief -- because his newfound love apparently helped him relax and he appeared happier. You can read more about their story here.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2007-11-12-court_N.htm
The mistaken attachment phenomenon is relatively common in Alzheimer's patients and about 5 million reportedly have the disease.

While working as a multi-organ transplant surgery coordinator at a major medical center in Brazil, Lisiane Pruinelli, PhD, RN, found she had a growing number of questions without answers.
She noted that survival and quality of life varied widely for patients who had similar transplant procedures. Her curiosity and desire to optimize outcomes for patients drove her to learn more.
Liver transplantation became a viable and common treatment in the 1980s for people with diseased or damaged livers. While the majority of people survive the complex transplant surgery today, survival rates and patients' post-operative well-being vary widely.
Today, equipped with access to data on 25,000 liver transplant patients through the School of Nursing's partnership agreement with OptumLabs, Pruinelli is developing a promising framework to identify risk factors prior to liver transplant surgery that are predictive of better outcomes.
Building on methodology from Pruinelli's earlier study and existing literature, the team is grouping patients into clusters that are algorithmically derived subgroups. Using this method, liver transplant patients with similar combinations of problems can be assessed over time to identify which problems influenced outcomes most, either positively or negatively.
Pruinelli is working with the Liver Transplantation Program at University of Minnesota Health to gain insights and continuously refine her research.
This study is aimed at generating evidence that can drive effective nursing interventions and ultimately decrease health care costs, Pruinelli said. "If we discover, for example, that patients entering transplantation with optimal nutrition and lower pain scores have a much higher likelihood of thriving after surgery than those who don't, we have a case for investing in greater nutrition therapy and pain management," she said.
OptumLabs is an open, collaborative research and innovation center founded in 2013. Its core linked data assets include de-identified claims data for privately insured and Medicare Advantage enrollees and de-identified electronic health record data from a nationwide network of provider groups. The database contains longitudinal health information on enrollees and patients, representing a diverse mixture of ages, ethnicities, races and geographical regions across the United States. The EHR data reflects all payers, including uninsured patients.

If you're reading this, you've obviously heard the news that Bittrex International is launching a digital trading platform that will feature a streamlined token approval process and provide more trading options for qualified international customers. And now, this international trading platform is accepting token listing applications!
What does this streamlined token listing process mean for token teams?
This new process will provide an efficient path for the most innovative blockchain projects to be listed on our new international platform. For example, if your team manages an existing blockchain project, your project can be listed in weeks instead of months, and if your team is getting ready for the initial launch of a completely new project, your token could be listed as soon as the blockchain goes live.
Once listed, all tokens on the Bittrex International platform will be available for listing by our extensive network of international exchange partners. The partner network has access to all current and new tokens listed on both Bittrex.com and Bittrex International that are consistent with their applicable regulatory environments. And just like Bittrex.com, Bittrex International will NOT charge a listing fee. We believe it's more important for token teams to invest their time and money into their technology and business development measures. That is why there is no token listing fee for Bittrex.com and why there will not be one for Bittrex International.
So, what is the review and token listing process for Bittrex International?
First, all token applicants must fill out the basic listing consideration form that requests information about the token and the token team. After a token team submits this form, the Bittrex International token team will evaluate the authenticity, innovation and quality of the blockchain project.
As part of our review, the Bittrex International team will also conduct a compliance review of the token team. During this process, development teams will be required to provide a legal opinion from a Maltese law firm indicating that the token is eligible for listing based on the criteria outlined in the Malta Virtual Financial Assets (VFA) Act. Once we receive the Malta legal opinion, and the compliance review process is complete, the token becomes eligible to be listed on the Bittrex International platform. Given the clarity and regulatory certainty provided by the VFA Act, the time needed for a token to be listed is actually determined by how quickly tokens teams can submit their applications and get their legal opinions, which typically only takes a few short weeks.
Are new markets already being tested for international customers?
Yes, we're currently operating a pilot program with our partners and one token, PundiX (NPXS). We're grateful for their assistance as this pilot program paved the way to ensure that we could begin the token listing process now.
Why apply to list your token on Bittrex International?
We believe in the potential of blockchain and its ability to provide groundbreaking solutions. That's why we're excited to work with token teams around the world to incubate new, inventive blockchain projects on our platform that could potentially transform the way goods, services and operations are managed globally.
Plus, what other trading platform offers your token a streamlined listing process that not only provides access to its customers, but also to customers within a global network of partner exchanges? And given there's no listing fee, why wouldn't you apply? Submit your token to Bittrex International today!

"Let us breathe new life into your practice," reads the tagline of Little Rock, Arkansas-based medical billing company Complete Provider Resource. In early 2017, they got the wind knocked out of them when they lost their largest client.
President Shirley Walker began the billing company in 2010, after a long career in managed care, working specifically with provider offices. "I could see a lot of the pain points offices encounter," says Walker, "from lack of knowledge to shortage of time and everything in between." Walker and the team at Complete Provider Resource have 40 combined years of healthcare and administrative experience—ample expertise to guide medical practices to succeed. And with CPR being the company acronym and their driving mission to rescue and indeed "breathe new life" into financially ailing medical practices, something like this should never have happened.
In short, Walker and the CPR team didn't have the tools they needed to easily provide their clients with answers.
It all started when their software provider informed them of a change in ownership, forcing them to switch to a new vendor. For Walker, that change never had the successful outcome they were promised. From dealing with continued issues with plan enrollment, ineffective reports and claims challenges, to lackluster support from the implementation team, the new system was nothing short of frustrating.
Getting answers to even simple questions like, "What is the average contracted amount allowed on this code?" was exceptionally challenging. Even tracking internal work processes, such as volume worked by each biller, was nearly impossible.
All of this culminated in losing their largest client in January 2017. This was the last straw for Walker, who had started the business to relieve office managers struggling with the enormous task of running a successful medical practice.
Walker began shopping for new software again. She also had to make the difficult but necessary decision to downsize. This concerned her because even with the loss of this client, the CPR team had plenty of work to do. In order for the team to successfully support their remaining clientele, they needed to be able to manage client data more efficiently and accurately. Walker made the decision to switch to the Kareo Billing Company Edition software platform, primarily for the ease with which they could perform the functions they needed.
Anticipating the learning curve with a new software system even after training and onboarding, Walker organized an internal management retreat to revisit each of their billing and management processes using Kareo. As a team, they reviewed the steps to make sure they were set up to make the most of their new system.

Mark Zuckerberg says basic income is worth exploring in Harvard commencement speech
Chris Weller
In his Harvard University commencement speech Thursday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg advocated for exploring a system in which all people receive a standard salary just for being alive, no questions asked.
The system is known as "universal basic income," and it's one of the trendiest economic theories of the last few years. Experiments in basic income have popped up in Kenya, the Netherlands, Finland, Canada, and San Francisco, California, among other places.
Basic income advocates say the changing nature of work — from human labour to artificially-intelligent robots — combined with rising wealth inequality signal the need for an overhaul of how money is distributed.
"We should have a society that measures progress not just by economic metrics like GDP, but by how many of us have a role we find meaningful," Zuckerberg told the crowd. "We should explore ideas like universal basic income to make sure everyone has a cushion to try new ideas."
The announcement is Zuckerberg's first public endorsement of the idea, which makes him somewhat late to the party as Silicon Valley goes. Tech executives including Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Y Combinator President Sam Altman, and even Facebook cofounder Chris Hughes (now running a basic income fund called The Economic Security Project), have endorsed basic income.
Many point to the economic forecasts that find robots will displace much of the human workforce in the coming decades. A report from Oxford University in 2013, for instance, found 50% of jobs could get taken over within the next 10 to 20 years — a prediction backed up in a McKinsey report released in 2015, which suggested today's technology could feasibly replace 45% of jobs right now.
"As our technology keeps on evolving, we need a society that is more focused on providing continuous education through our lives," Zuckerberg told the crowd. "And yes, giving everyone the freedom to pursue purpose isn't going to be free. People like me should pay for it, and a lot of you are going to do really well and you should, too."

Is NAMA operating the wrecking-ball at Blackrock baths?
September 3, 2012 by namawinelake
We learn today from the Irish Times today that the Blackrock Baths – a derelict open-air swimming/diving venue with seating for 1,000 spectators on the seafront in the upmarket Dublin suburb of Blackrock – are to be demolished after the local council determined that the structures had become dangerous. The Irish Times reports that the baths were acquired by NAMA Top10 developer, Treasury Holdings in 1997.
Last year, a local Labour councillor called for the baths to be acquired by the council – if NAMA owned loans relating to the site – and for the baths to be restored to their former glory. With outbreaks of ecoli on our beaches this summer, not to mention sewage spills and reports of the potentially deadly Portugese man-o-war jellyfish turning up on our beaches, you might have thought there would be demand for a safe outdoor swimming venue.
In recent months, embattled Treasury Holdings has frequently been in the headlines as NAMA takes action to foreclose on loans to the property development group which was founded by Johnny Ronan and Richard Barrett. We know that NAMA has had receivers appointed to over 30 Irish companies in the Treasury group, but Blackrock Baths don't appear to be on the current NAMA foreclosure list but remember (a) the foreclosure list is rife with errors and (b) NAMA has only foreclosed on a fraction of the properties subject to its loans – most property is still being managed by the developer. So Blackrock Baths might or might not be in NAMA.
In May 2012, NAMA announced vague plans to spend €2bn on developing assets securing its loans, over the next four years. There has been little detail provided to date on how the €2bn will be spent. NAMA has been cutting its teeth with the wrecking ball in July 2012 when it demolished an apartment block in the Gleann Riada estate in Longford.
This morning, a spokesman for NAMA had no comment on the reported demolition.

Trump famously stepped in and finished the Wollman Rink in Central Park,which is a fantastic public amenity.
Perhaps,Ronan or Barrett as a act of atonment or a goodwill gesture will accept a surrender of the leasehold and return the baths to their former glory!
But given today's announcement from TCT,don't hold your breath.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wollman_Rink
on September 3, 2012 at 4:11 pm Will C.
I thought it was just the freehold interest that Treasury acquired, with the leasehold interest yet to expire?
"The council at some point handed the baths over to private developers and the site is now owned by a consortium that includes Treasury Holdings, Alanis Ltd and the property developer Paddy Kelly, with the Council holding a long-term lease."
http://www.abandonedireland.com/Blackrockbaths.html
The freehold was sold by Pembroke Estates,had a few appearances at Flood Tribunal,courtesy of Dublin based now deceased auctioner John Finnegan.
"The Flood Tribunal has heard details of the auctioneer, John Finnegan's dual role in the sale of property in Donnybrook in the 1970s. Mr Finnegan has admitted that the Pembroke Estate, on whose behalf he acted, was unaware of his involvement with the company that bought the land."
http://www.rte.ie/news/2001/1012/flood.html
WSTT may know more about this transaction,but most likely the council was/is prepared to surrender its leasehold interest for planning gain.
Ah, I see, thanks for the enlightenment!
At some point the well connected consortium retained architects HKR and proposed a redevelopment involving apartments,unlikely any pro forma involving apartments would pencil today.But fantastic site,NAMA should look at a JV here.
"Local Green Party TD Ciarán Cuffe welcomed the unveiling of the document which was produced by HKR Architects on behalf of the site's owners.
The baths are owned by a consortium that includes Treasury Holdings, Alanis Ltd – the McCormack family property development company – well-known property developer Paddy Kelly and the Ryan family from Foxrock.
Deputy Cuffe said public consultation is crucial and that all options should be debated.
"We would like to see sea-baths provided at the site, but we are concerned at the proposal to place a new bridge across the railway at Idrone Terrace and place apartments on the site of the former baths," he said."

Burma's Military Government Resists Call for Reform
Burma's military government is refusing to bow to pressure from its neighbors to speed up political reforms. The refusal comes as foreign ministers of the Association of Southeast Asian nations prepare to discuss whether to deny Burma its turn next year as ASEAN chairman.
Refusing again to be influenced by international public opinion, Burma's foreign minister says it is his country's "responsibility" to take the ASEAN chair on schedule in 2006.
U Nyan Win, arriving in the Central Philippines for an annual three-day retreat with his fellow ASEAN foreign ministers, said the other governments in the Southeast Asian bloc agree with Burma's military government on this point. In fact, ASEAN is facing a growing rift over the question.
The governments of several member states, along with a number of members of parliament from ASEAN nations, are pressing for Burma to make major reforms before 2006 or be denied the chairmanship.
The move is prompted in part by fears that the United States and the European Union, both strong allies of ASEAN, will deny development aid and cooperation to the region if Burma is given the honor of leading the bloc.
Philippine Foreign Secretary Alberto Romulo said he will be restating calls this week for Burma to free democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been under house arrest for almost two years.
He said he would also press Rangoon to include the opposition in drawing up a new constitution, and to allow the United Nations special envoy to Burma to visit the country.
Zaid Ibrahim, a member of parliament in Malaysia and president of ASEAN's inter-parliamentary caucus on Burma, told VOA recently that many in ASEAN are looking to Rangoon for a minimum set of reforms.
He said, "We are saying that the basic minimum should be a convention or a process of democracy that includes, incorporates and accommodates the diverse groups in the country. And you must take that as the proof that you are interested in genuine reconciliation, and we do not see how continued detention of Aung San Suu Kyi is conducive with that."
Burma became a member of the 10-nation ASEAN in 1997, despite protests from the European Union and United States. ASEAN argued that by accepting Burma as a member, the member states would be able to use "constructive engagement" to nudge the military government towards reform.
In 2003 Burma announced a road map to democracy with promises of general elections after the drafting of a new constitution. But a constitutional convention that began last year has accomplished little, and the government recently recessed it until late this year.
Diplomats at the Philippines retreat have said that the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore will prod Burma on reforms.
But Burma has received support from Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen has said Burma's political reforms are an internal affair - the traditional ASEAN position of staying out of each other's affairs.

Welcome to the Adoption and Fostering round up. We are always happy to share some of the best posts we read each month from #WASO and beyond. So let?s get started.
My first post is from Travels with my Son who shares a familiar story of well worn school wear. I know that I too would not be picking this possible battle with my own son, let the skinny jeans walk I say.
My next selected post comes from a lady whose life I like to keep up with. This particular post is from her son, his first blog post on his own post. So enjoy the great sense of achievement that Buzzbee, feels when he tries something new in A little bee?s relief.
For a couple of weeks in May we were gripped by election, fever. Well maybe not gripped and maybe you didn?t experience a fever but it was interesting to read one bloggers views on the election result. Sally Donovan offers us Election reflections of a floating voter.
This next post had me very reflective and thoughtful on education and the best possible environment for education children in care and adopted children. Thank you @BigKid255 for helping me to seeing it from Both Sides.
This blog continues to blow my mind with its painful truth, this blog post about Meeting Birth Mum, was no exception.
And the harsh reality of being a child living within the care system continues with this heartbreaking post about a Missing 15 year old.
?But, truthfully, we were broken long before our sons came home. Their pain exposed us for who we truly were and begged us to do the hard work of getting better.? One mum tells her feelings about adopting children into her family in Better Together.
In this post Suddenly Mummy has been helping inform prospective foster carers understand the skills required to do the job. It?s a great insight into the important job foster carers do.
And as the post above discusses, contact whilst a child is in foster care can be very difficult for all involved, as Blue Sky Fostering explains.
This next post, bursting at the seams, details the very busy and packed lives of a fostering family.
Next a blogger, I?ve not seen for a while but am glad to read again, has a nerve racking experience when she?s pulled over by the police.
And finally a blog that?s fairly new to me and that I am getting a lot of pleasure in reading, mostly because it reminds me of our early days of adoption. Her Building a Family Together asks Is it Mine?
So that?s my lot for now, hope it provides you all with a good read.
Sarah is the adoptive mum of two boys behind The Puffin Diaries. Her blog is full of the highs and lows of her family life, writing about adoption, living with depression her love of cooking and all things creative plus lots of photography. Sarah is also co-founder of The Adoption Social, a site which promotes and supports the adoption on-line community.


Bitcoin and associated cryptocurrencies have brought a lot of greed along with their meteroic rise - not of which the criminal element is amongst. Cryptojacking is the act of placing software on end-user computers or servers to mine cryptocurrency.
Compared to ransomware the big difference from a financial point of view through the attackers eyes is that cryptojacking starts to generate revenue as soon as it infects a machine while ransomware depends on the organization paying out the ransom.
What a lot of people don't know is that cryptojacking is not regulated to the armies of unsecured windows boxes laying scattered throughout large enterprises.
There are three distinct types of attacks. One is targeted for servers, one for end-user devices and one through the web such as your company's website.
Slow computer performance can be an indicator of cryptojacking activity as well as complaints that the site is slow.
One humorous yet sad case of a coinhive based attack was that it infected a federal agency's website but it didn't actually load cause the site had a bad ssl cert. I guess that's one way of protecting your infrastructure but not advised.
So that's web facing cryptojacking. Let's talk about server crypto-jacking.
Earlier this year attackers made over $200,000 mining monero on weblogic servers.
The "exploit" here was simply POSTing a small SOAP message to the poor server. Soap is this older REST like protocol based on xml.
In fact around here some developers consider REST itself to be old so this tells you something.
The exploit literally calls this class called java.lang.ProcessBuilder and passes an argument of /bin/sh.
This type of stuff is just disgusting. There is no good reason in 2018 that this should be a thing but it is.
Next up we have DrupalGeddon. Drupal hosts up to 1M websites around the world including government and financial institutions.
Recently there was an input sanitization problem on the form builder.
As it seems to be always the root case (pun intended) - the ability to execute shell commands is when the attacker wins and you lose.
Through a simple single curl command attackers could force the drupal application to download new software and spawn a shell.
One of the parameters here would locate the part of the form but in this case it would download a malicious payload using wget.
Listen, programmers create bugs like this all the time - it's just a part of the process of writing code, however, we don't have to make it so easy for attackers to launch their attacks against us. We don't have to deploy software this way.
What's crazy is this actually happened months ago - what's new?
What's new is that it's *still* being used for a cryptojacking attack. Over a 100k sites are still vulnerable to this attack.
While this exploit wasn't as trivial as the weblogic craziness it still boils down to the same style of attack - that is using remote code execution via the shell. This is precisely the type of attack that unikernels help prevent.
Unikernels stop attacks like this because they only run one program and there is no way to "shell out" and run other programs. It's a foreign concept to unikernels. There are no users and there is no way to login to the host.
So we know upgrading from version to version and keeping track of every new CVE out there is difficult for many organizations but what if you could start with a more secure substrate that this software lives on? That's the promise of unikernels.

My Year In Flux is a year long life experiment to see if, by dismissing almost everything in life and learning 52 completely new skills in 52 weeks it is possible to reboot, re-energise, and come out the other side smiling. It might sound like the basis of a corny self-help book or the plot of an uplifting movie starring Julia Roberts. It isn't, it's my very own year in flux!
My name is David Dodd and I'm a 30-something creative entrepreneur from London who thought he had it all. Having founded a thriving little digital video agency at just the right moment and bought a nice flat in London at a good time as well, I was sitting pretty. But I wasn't happy, I was bored, in fact I may even have been heading for a midlife crisis. So I took the decision to step outside my comfort zone and make a few changes. In March 2013, I left my business behind, rented out my flat, got rid of almost all my possessions and headed off to travel around the Americas. I also set myself the target of developing a sustainable and happy life within 1 year. During these twelve months I'm de-friending routine, familiarity and comfort. My new friends are novelty, chaos and chance, collectively known to me as 'flux'.
As part of My Year In Flux I'm attempting a brand new challenge every single week. This is imaginatively called my Weekly Challenge and you can read about the many new skills and experiences I'm accumulating here. So far I've saved turtles in Costa Rica, tried a raw food diet, managed to win in Las Vegas and nearly killed myself surfing; every single week sees a new challenge, and I need your help to decide what I'll be doing next.
My Year In Flux is about getting out of the armchair and embracing everything life has to offer. It's a career break with a difference, a blog charting a journey of self discovery and a record of my personal growth. It's also a very different take on productivity and positive thinking. For all of these reasons, I decided to share My Year In Flux.
Surely I can't be the only person who felt a little bored by normal life? Come on, put down the remote control, turn off Facebook and start fluxing. For inspiration on how to get moving, you should start here.
You can connect with me here at Google +, follow me on Twitter or Facebook, or all of the above, yay social media!

Thought Leaders Series: David Hall of David Hall Rare Coins
Changes to ANA website being implemented in May and June
By Joe O'Donnell
Published: May 15, 2014, 10 AM
The American Numismatic Association website, Money.org, is going to get a makeover during May and June.
Screenshot of www.Money.org
The American Numismatic Association is revamping its website, Money.org, and visitors to the site will notice changes beginning May 21.
Money.org's Association Management System, a section used by ANA members to access members-only pages, pay their dues and set their email preferences, will go offline on the evening of May 15 and return May 21.
"The new Members-Only section will include the ability to pay dues, set email and collecting preferences, and search the dealer and club directories more efficiently," an ANA blog post by Jake Sherlock reads.
"Between May 15 and May 21, there will be no access to the Members-Only section, Dealer Directory and Club Directory," Sherlock's post says. "There will also be no online registration available for the World's Fair of Money. We will have a link to The Numismatist on the front page of the website so that digital subscribers can still read your magazine."
After the section returns, it will run within the current Money.org website. However, changes to the website as a whole are expected to be phased in later this summer, with beta testing scheduled for early June.
"If you're interested in joining our group of beta testers (i.e. help us find bugs on the new website), please drop me an email at jsherlock@money.org and I'll add you to the list of testers," Sherlock wrote.
Any member issues with Money.org during the transition can be reported by email to membership@money.org or by phone at 800-514-2646.


Badian Island, slightly south of Moalboal, offers excellent scuba and snorkel activities to Badian, Moalboal and Pescador Island.
Badian Island offers many dive sites just offshore. Coral Gardens, Garden Eels, Badian Wall and Fisherman's Cave have a shelf that begins at 3 to 4 meters then drops off to 30 to 40 meters. You can see many fan and large green hard coral. There is usually a school of 20 to 30 small Yellowtail Barracuda swimming by. Sometimes you can see turtles. It is a good area for night diving. The currents are small to medium and the visibility is 15 to 25 meters.
Coral Gardens is a well known trainee dive site but also serves as prime snorkeling area. There is a small sandy area on the shelf at 3 meters, which we use for our Open Water Training Dives.
Garden Eels: You go down the drop off to about 30 meters. Then from 30 to 34 meters there is a large sandy spot covered with Garden Eels poking their heads out of the sand. You need to be down current and very still or the eels will go back into their holes.
Badian Wall & Fisherman's Cave: These two spots are located on the north & northwest side of the island about 10 minutes away. The current is sometimes a little stronger here, so there is usually more fish activity.
Sawang: This is a shallow dive that is sometimes used for Open Water Training Dives. It starts at 3 meters with sandy spots for skills and patches of corals. Then it gradually slopes. It is a good safe dive for beginners.


Get a professional body measurement done for online purchases.
Know what style works and flatters your body. For instance if you have nice straight shoulders, you may want to highlight your shoulders and bring out this part of your body as your focal point on your dress. In this case, a strapless dress may be a good consideration.
Build a small collection of picture inspirations of your dream wedding dress. One easy way is to use a Pinterest board.
Think about the style of shoes you want to wear with your dress. If possible, buy your shoes around the same time you order your wedding dress.
Start early. It may take months for a made to order wedding dress to arrive. The time frame varies between sellers and designers.

The No. 1 reason fans are turning out: They love David Letterman
By Meredith Blake
| NEW YORK
Jordan Bautsch, right, an 18-year-old from Reading, Pa., waits in line with ticket in hand to attend Wednesday's "Late Show." (Carolyn Cole / Los Angeles Times)
In his final weeks as host of CBS' "Late Show," David Letterman has recruited a cavalcade of bold-face names, including President Obama, Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Tina Fey, Oprah Winfrey and even, rumor has it, former archrival Jay Leno.
But for the dozens of fans who queued up on a recent afternoon outside the Ed Sullivan Theater, home of CBS' "Late Show" since 1993, the real draw isn't the A-list guests but the gap-toothed host whose 33-year career in late-night television ends May 20.
A comedian whose sarcasm and subversive wit seemed revolutionary back when the gracious Johnny Carson was late-night's undisputed king, Letterman, 68, ranks as the format's elder statesman. Cited as an influence by younger hosts Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Kimmel, Letterman trailed Leno in the ratings for most of his run at 11:30 but has inspired what appears to be a greater level of devotion from fans.
"I'm, like, freaking out. This is a dream come true," said Donna Zurzola, from Ridgefield, Conn.
A Letterman acolyte since his days on NBC's "Late Night" in the early '80s, she stood patiently in a line that snaked down Broadway, past a vendor selling hot nuts and around the corner onto 53rd Street. This was to be her first — and last — experience as a "Late Show" audience member. "I waited 30 years for this," she said, proudly brandishing her ticket for a CBS page.
Another superfan, Lois McKenzie, 52, had traveled to New York from her home in Lexington, Ky., with the sole purpose of attending a "Late Show" taping before Letterman's retirement.
"I've been to New York a lot and always said I'd get to the show, and then all of a sudden it's coming to an end. We got real lucky. We signed up about three weeks ago. Got the airline ticket, got the hotel room," she explained as she and her husband, Alan McKenzie, stocked up on "Late Show" merchandise inside the Hello Deli, the modest convenience store on 53rd Street made famous in one of Letterman's recurring bits.
"We got married five years ago, and he's learned to sleep with David Letterman," she added, as owner Rupert Jee rang up their order — throwing in a "Late Show" mug on the house.
The show has been a life-changer for Jee, who took over the then-failing deli a few years before "Late Show" arrived at the Ed Sullivan Theater. He is one of the last original tenants to survive in an increasingly pricey neighborhood, thanks in part to the patronage of Letterman fans.
In addition to "Late Show" merchandise and themed sandwiches (the top-seller is the Shaffer, a chicken cutlet and American cheese combo named for bandleader Paul Shaffer), Jee also sells shot glasses and T-shirts featuring his own image ($12). His bodega has become an unofficial commissary for hungry "Late Show" crew members and the paparazzi who lurk outside the theater's stage door.
"From a selfish standpoint, I wish he'd stay a few more years," added Jee, who was caught by surprise when Letterman announced his retirement in April 2014. "It threw me real off. I was pretty depressed about it."
Some longtime viewers recalled just how radically different Letterman seemed when he arrived on television in the early '80s — beginning with, of all things, a short-lived morning program on NBC, before launching "Late Night" in 1982.
"Carson was old school, and Letterman was fresh — he was more the collegiate kind of vibe," Paul Wedel, 58, who was able to score standby tickets while in town from Berkeley visiting his daughter. "We were all smoking dope, and it was all good."
Others weren't even alive when Letterman's "Late Show" debuted in 1993 on CBS, the network that welcomed Letterman after Leno was named Carson's successor on "The Tonight Show," setting off one of the most intense rivalries in late-night television.
"He's just such a renowned person, he made such a mark in this business," said Emily Garren, an 18-year-old broadcasting student at Manhattan College. She and a classmate, Jordan Bautsch, also 18, were wandering the neighborhood in search of a Chipotle last week and put their names into a "Late Show" lottery on a whim. They got a call that they had won tickets just two days ago.
"I was, like, jumping up and down," said Bautsch.
For others, it wasn't so easy. Jake Barcelona, 18, a student from Chicago, applied for tickets through the "Late Show" website in early April and then had to prove that he knew who "Late Show" announcer Alan Kalter was in a phone call from an audience coordinator.
"[Letterman] keeps it youthful, even though he was born in the '40s," Barcelona said, standing at the front of the ticket-holder line with a group of friends that included Neil Harris, a student from Letterman's alma mater, Ball State University, in Muncie, Ind.
"I like how Dave's laid-back, he doesn't really care," said Harris, 18. "He has a nice energy."
While a highly informal survey of "Late Show" ticket holders suggested that most are excited about late-night's new generation — "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon seemed to be the overwhelming favorite — others plan to give up the habit once their beloved Dave takes his final bow.
"I'm just going to miss him," said Diane Murphy, 60, of Queens, clad in a "Late Show" T-shirt. "I feel like he's a family member."

The name of this pub is a relic of the era when steamships plied between Liverpool and Menai Bridge. Passengers would alight at the nearby St George's Pier, so named because it was originally used by the St George's Steam Packet Company. The fare in 1835 was 10s 6d for travel in a cabin, or 5s for travel on deck.
The name of St George's Road, outside the Liverpool Arms, also marks that connection. The road was given the alternative Welsh name Ffordd Cynan in the 1970s after Sir Cynan Evans-Jones (1895-1970) CBE. He lived at Penmaen, just around the corner from the Liverpool Arms, from 1932. Born Albert Evans-Jones, he is known throughout Wales by his bardic name Cynan. Originally from Pwllheli, he was a poet, dramatist, preacher, playwright, producer, director of pageants and tutor at Bangor University's Extramural Department. He was knighted in 1969.
He was prominent in the National Eisteddfod, with two periods as Archdruid. He devoted much energy and imagination to reorganising the Eisteddfod's governance and some of its ceremonial aspects. He won the crown three times and the chair once, and became one of the most popular adjudicators in Wales. He also won the drama competition. You can read more about him on our page about his grave at Ynys Tysilio (Church Island), Menai Bridge.
At the other end of Ffordd Cynan is Bro Helen Rowlands, named after a missionary and academic who became an expert on the traditions and language of Bengal, India.

PREP SOFTBALL: Cullman falls at home to Curry, Good Hope routs Addison, Tuesday night wrap-up
By: Nick Griffin
Alex Stansell (24) connects with an RBI single during Cullman's 6-5 loss to Curry on Tuesday. (Nick Griffin for The Cullman Tribune)
CULLMAN, Ala. – The Lady Bearcats opened up the 2019 season at home Tuesday night with a matchup against Curry and Cullman came up just short in nail-biter, 6-5. The Lady Bearcats jumped out to an early lead but couldn't maintain their strength on offense and Curry was able to come back and win it late.
Cullman struck first in the bottom half of the first inning when Alex Stansell drove in McKenna Kline with an RBI single but after a couple of scoreless innings, Curry took a 3-1 lead in the top of the fourth with a bases-clearing triple. An RBI single stretched the lead to 4-1 in the next inning, but the Lady Bearcats wouldn't let the Lady Yellow Jackets pull away.
Kline and Savannah Davis came home to score on an RBI double from Carlie Burnham in the bottom of the fifth to cut the lead to 4-3 but Curry was able to get both of those runs back in the top of the sixth.
An RBI single from Kline and an RBI double from Davis trimmed the lead to 6-5 in the bottom of the sixth and Cullman got through the top of the seventh without any damage but couldn't get any more runs across in the final frame and fell 6-5 to start the season.
Sydney Holder went the distance for the Lady Bearcats on the mound, tossing seven innings, allowing four earned runs on 10 hits and collecting eight strikeouts. At the plate, Kline finished the day four for four with an RBI and three runs scored for Cullman. Burnham led the Lady 'Cats with two RBIs.
Cullman will try to bounce back with their first win of the season when they host Hazel Green Thursday at 4:30 p.m.
Good Hope 18 – Addison 3
The Lady Raiders traveled to Addison Tuesday night for their second game of the season and went home with a convincing, 18-3 road win.
After a pair of walks, Bailey Swann drove in two runs in the top of the first and came around to score herself on a fielder's choice to make it 3-0 right out of the gate. An error and a walk allowed two more runs to cross the plate for Good Hope in the top of the second and RBI single from Skylar Tucker extended the lead to 7-0 just a few pitches later.
The Lady Raiders added two more runs on passed balls before Abby Hunt crossed the plate on a fielder's choice to make it 10-0 going into the bottom of the second. An RBI double off the bat of Morgan Goodwin stretched the lead to 11-0 and two batters later, Swann put the game out of reach with a three-run bomb over the left field fence that made it 14-0.
The Lady Bulldogs were able to tack on a few runs in the fourth and fifth, but it was too little too late and Good Hope pulled away to win it 18-3. Hunt went four innings on the mound for the Lady Raiders in the win, allowing three runs on seven hits and Sidnie English picked up the save after tossing the final inning and collecting two strikeouts.
Good Hope will try to move to 3-0 when it travels to Arab on Thursday.
Priceville 22 – Vinemont 0
The Lady Eagles struggled in their season opener at Priceville Tuesday night. The Lady Bulldogs scored 15 in the first inning and added seven more in the second to end the game early. Vinemont was held without a hit in the loss.
Priceville took an early 4-0 lead in the bottom of the second but an RBI single from Brooklyn Knott, a pair of bases-loaded walks and a score on a passed ball cut the lead tied the game at four going into the bottom of the third.
Priceville created some separation in the bottom half of the inning and built and 11-4 lead by the start of the fourth. A walk and an RBI single from Maci Smith made it an 11-6 game but Priceville stretched the lead to 16-6 in the bottom of the fourth.
An RBI double off the bat of Knott trimmed the lead to 16-7 and an RBI single from Emilie Hoffman made it 16-9 but it wasn't enough to overcome the Priceville lead and the Lady Eagles fell to 0-2 on the season with the road loss.
Knott led Vinemont on the night offensively, going two for four with two RBIs in the loss.
The Lady Eagles will try to bounce back with a win when they host Fairview on Thursday.
Susan Moore 14 – Hanceville 4
Susan Moore jumped out to a 3-0 start in the top of the first and doubled it to make it 6-0 in the second. The lead stretched the 7-0 in the top of the third, but a fielder's choice and a pair of RBI singles cut the lead to 7-3 going into the fourth inning.
Susan Moore tacked on two more runs in the fourth to extend the lead to 9-3 and put the game out of reach for the Lady Bulldogs. Alexia Edwards came home to score on a fielder's choice in the bottom of the sixth to make it a 10-4 game, but Susan Moore pulled away to win it in the seventh 14-4.
Destiny Short went two for four with an RBI for Hanceville in the loss. The Lady Bulldogs will try to bounce back with a win when they host Oneonta on March 4th.
