Our words are what define us as a society, in many ways. Words may be turned into images, such as plays, or movies, or even defined further through actions associated with the words, but it is the words that hold the definition.
Many speak of those who have fought for and defended our freedoms, and the accepted meaning is those who have done so with the force of arms. But often in the history of man those who have fought most valiantly and won so much for a nation or people have done so with words, either written or verbal.
We need to always realize the power of words, and the use which they can be used and how they can be abused. When we speak of our beliefs and desires, and of others, we need to always be aware of that and how even just the smallest nuance can carry much weight.
As an American, I will speak of those who have done much for us through their use of words, but there are many examples in other nations and cultures other than ours who speak as loudly and true to them as ours do to us.
One of the first social contracts in America was the Mayflower Compact ( http://avalon.law.yale.edu/17th_century/mayflower.asp ) , which set forth a rule of law and order for the Plymouth Colony, and helped to establish the direction many would follow on in the new world. If you take it in whole, it is a mere 195 words, and after discarding the standard flourish openings and closings, is but a core of 84 words, pure and simple, stating a purpose.
Another set of those special words is found in Thomas Paine's pamphlet Common Sense. ( http://publicliterature.org/books/common_sense/xaa.php ) As we all know, a certain conservative commentator has latched upon Common Sense as his standard, but he has no real concept of what it was about. Thomas Paine did more to bring about the American Revolution in his words than many of the more highly educated and erudite speakers of his day because he reached the common man, made argument he could understand, and was wise enough to get it printed and distributed widely.
Of a different sort of words which helped for American freedom was that great lover of freedom (of all sorts) and the ladies, Benjamin Franklin. Through his inquisitiveness, and his knowledge and the respect he gained from others, he influenced with words alone the direction which those, both in America and in Europe, chose to take. His diplomacy helped to gain us time with the English and the financial and material resources from the French which made possible the winning of American colonies freedom. This portly non military gentleman was, with his words, worth as much to colonial America as several entire armies.
Of course, there was Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence ( http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration.html ) , which, in it's elegance, only took a week to compose but spoke out boldly about where we were and where we wanted to go.
The Constitution of the United States ( http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.html ), in it's relatively brief 4,501 words (excluding signatories) delivered the most compelling set of words establishing a lasting and just elected government whose only equal in longevity is the Magna Charta, and it has been overridden on occasion.
And then there are the great speakers of words, from Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg (http://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=true&doc=36&page=transcript) to the words of what is considered by many to be the greatest speech of the twentieth century, the Dr. Martin Luther King "I have a Dream speech (http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm) reach into the various souls of each of us as they call forth our needs and desires for freedom.
Why is this long written piece necessary to those who are reading it? To remind us all of the strength of words, as strong as force and action, and how, when we present our case to others, we have a responsibility to express clearly what we are presenting in order to achieve our goals. Too often it is easy to get "carried away" and forget how our words affect others, but that is another, and hopefully shorter, piece. And although there are those who criticize us for "talking something to death" it is the intelligent use of words that shapes what something is and may become.
Monk, this response to your post is a little late, had to step away last night from everything….this is a beautifully written post.
It's a good reminder on choosing our words carefully, especially in the heat of the moment.
It is very hard to take back words spoken in anger.
Allow me to indulge in a little bit of satire, since we're on the subject of words, and we live in this modern world.
In this country, it can be far too easy to take freedom of expression and the power of words for granted. Had Fate caused us to be born in North Korea, China, Iran, many parts of the Middle East, etc., where freely speaking or writing certain thoughts and words, we could be imprisoned or even put to death (as Iranian election protesters recently were).
The pen is indeed mightier than the sword. It is words and ideas that can bring down civilizations (sometimes words like "deregulation" and "corruption").
Just imagine if Huffington Post was a government, imagine what living under their rules and system would be like.
So, as imperfect as our democracy is, we could have done a lot worse.
Yet her blog draws thousands of thousands of so called progressives and liberals every day. That's why the progressives over their that do not question Aryanna but endlessly question Democrats and the president are so hypocritical. To me it's the same kind of hypocrisy the religious right practices where they don't follow their principles in basic ways. I'm starting to look at progressive pundits on MSNBC the same way. Sorry GM is a major part of the military industrial complex and their shows make millions for MSNBC. I especially love the article when huffy goes after GE. I just post Keith and Rachel should quit MSNBC based on principle.
Could you imagine if President Obama tried to muffle descending voices like they do and just deleted any criticism of his administration?
Excellent post, FM. The power of words is really what the world runs on, isn't it?
I am wiped out, going to bed. Will be back in the morning to post more.
G'Nite, Nicole. Won't be up much longer myself. Back to work tomorrow.
A thought provoking article, Monk. When it really comes down to it, didn't many of us part company with PuffHo over just this very issue: the power of words (and the implied inverse: the power of censorship)?
Whatever differences there may be among us, I sense that one thing that unites all of us here is our respect for words--their use, their power--and the responsibility that comes with putting our words out into the world.
If we want to "market" our progressive ideals, we need to put a little more concern into our use of words. I don't think there is anything you can say to a troll or a teabagger to win them over, but they are a minority of the right. A lot of middle right and moderate folk will listen a lot more when we stop lumping them all together and acting like they all eat babies. Few of us aren't guilty of it. We start out saying "the Republicans" and go from there. If you are a Republican, you immediately become defensive.
I don't believe in PC. It's a misnomer at best. Common decency is what everyone deserves. The key phrase in there is about nuances. Just a small nuance can cause someone to turn and walk away from listening to us because it is deemed as insensitive to them.
Yes. And it's so hard to remember that, when emotions run high. That's when nuance goes out the window (for me, anyway) and I find myself fighting the urge to just go into battle mode.
Wonderful and thoughtful post, dear Sir. I fully appreciate it. Difficult to comment when I find myself in agreeing. Not bad for such a young man.
😆 Ignorance loves company even more than misery.
I believe if people were to read history, they'd enjoy it. unless their church pastors were to interpret it for them through apocalyptic tales (as they usually do).
I've been enjoying reading Roman history again.
There's so much to be learned in that history repeats itself. The threat today isn't that Obama is another Caesar, but that the corruption of politicians is real — and that he's in a dangerous place in that those who are so corrupt care ONLY for their own political survival.
To them… the nation be damned.
Was it not Mark Twain that stated … history may not repeat itself, but it sure imitates it.
With elected officials of the GOP basically echoing the words of Caligula, "let them hate me, so long as they fear me", I believe Twain's assessment to be correct.
Regardless of party affiliation, the same attitude holds true with corrupt politicians all over the nation.
Public financing needs to be a priority.
I'll also keep my eyes open for your post.
Yup the history lessons to learn are not about the leadership per say but about the corrupt system as a whole, including the corrupt citizens. The late Romans were driven by fear and not making the hard personal everyday choices far more than the fact that their government leadership failed. Roman leadership was up and down all through their golden age. The conservative church took over the Roman state and ruined it by demanding orthodoxy and and pimping fear. A good parallel is the way fundamentalist religious thinking AND corporations have taken over not just America but even the Western and Eastern hemispheres.
This article started out from thinking about how words inspire us, and carry us. From my youth I remember the somber and powerful voice of the President, always starting "My fellow Americans" (LBJ). Whether you agreed or disagreed with him, you listened, because his voice and words carried authority. Many of us listened, and then protested like hell, I will say.
In researching this, I found the website American Rhetoric (http://www.americanrhetoric.com/) which has many fine academic and not so academic sources about words, including a listing of the 100 most influential speeches in America in the 20th century, including the text and for many of them the original audio. So many of the progressive stances are to be found in the speeches listed. It is a must read for those wanting to gain more insight into where we as progressives came from.
I liked what you had to say. And as I think of it, probably couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you!
Excellent topic and some great points and links. Language far and away separates us from other species on the planet. Some species communicate but they don't have growing languages and the ability of preserving language like the excellent citations you use as examples.
Humans have the ability to use language either as a way to bring hope and progress or promote fear and stagnation. Unfortunately many hateful and fearful uses of language have resulted in terrible wars and the proliferation of racism. The most disturbing recent development in the use of words is the Orwellian ways leaders uses words to manipulate us, especially the corporatists and right wingers.
Loved your last paragraph; I never bought into the childhood saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." I know of no one who has not been hurt by words at some point in their life. It's important that we choose them carefully.
I'm caught between wanting to proselytize for P-P today or go Troll Hunting. It's hard to feel good about doing both simultaneously.

It's another day to get messy and do some crafts (and by messy I mean melt hot glue everywhere and feather yourself with scraps of felt). I spent most of the day like this, but those pictures didn't make the cut this post. This project is a cute little Cinderella bag. This small bag is an excellent gift for any Disney princess fans out there. If you are familiar with the Party with Unicorn blog, you may recognize the pattern I am using for this project. This Cinderella design was initially used on our felt Christmas Tree a couple of weeks ago. I just thought the designs were too cute to be only be used on a tree at Christmas, so I have adapted it to make a bag. You can use the other patterns from the Felt Christmas Tree to make other felt bags too. The patterns included superheroes, Ninja turtles and princesses! In addition to the Cinderella pattern, I have added a copy of the Snow White patterns scaled to bag size with this post.
You are pretty much unstoppable with a free pattern and a hot glue gun! So, are you ready crafting? Let's begin!
1. Download the free pattern and cut it out. Scroll to the bottom of this post to find the patterns for download.
2. Trace the pattern on a felt cloth and cut it out.
3. Glue the strip pattern into the corner of one base pattern using the hot glue gun.
4. Cut two piece of ribbon and glue one ribbon on the top part of the other base pattern. Glue the hair + headband pattern on top of it.
6. Now glue the base pattern with the face together with the other base.
7. Draw some details on the face using a marker.
8. Glue a long ribbon from each side of the strip to serve as the strap or handle of the bag.
8. Tie the small ribbon at the back to finish the bag.
And you are done! You now have your very own Cinderella bag that you can give to your little princess. I hope you enjoyed this one, as always, I love to see your creations so tag me on Facebook, instagram or Pinterest.
Click on the images below to download the Cinderella Bag Patterns. After you click on each photo, the full-size image will open. Click "Save As" to save the pattern to your computer.
Each project comes with printable templates and easy to follow instruction.

Rackspace Security Issue Outage Weighs On Shares For Second Day
Dec 6, 2022, 6:31 pm
hquality / Depositphotos
Investors hold a large short position in the shares
Rackspace Technology (NASDAQ:RXT) shares fell for a second session Monday as the cloud computing company sorted out what triggered a security breach at its Hosted Exchange operation.
On Saturday, Rackspace revealed that it proactively shut down the system after finding a security issue.

Finding a qualified financial advisor doesn't have to be hard. SmartAsset's free tool matches you with up to 3 fiduciary financial advisors in your area in 5 minutes.
Each advisor has been vetted by SmartAsset and is held to a fiduciary standard to act in your best interests.
If you're ready to be matched with local advisors that can help you achieve your financial goals, get started now.
Rackspace said Monday that it "successfully restored email services to thousands of customers on Microsoft 365 and continues to make progress on restoring email service to every affected customer." Shares have lost two thirds of their value over the past 12 months, as the S&P 500 has fallen 11%.
According to SearchEngineJournal, Rackspace hosted Exchange suffered a catastrophic outage beginning Dec. 2, 2022, and is still ongoing as of 12:37 a.m. December 4. Initially described as connectivity and login issues, the guidance was eventually updated to announce that they were dealing with a security incident.
The publication posted a tweet from a reader that described the incident.
This has been quite the day with #Rackspace. Every hosted exchange client has been down for 14 hours or so. Support isn't reading/responding to tickets. Updates are unhelpful.
I am concerned now that they fell victim to something bad like the ProxyNotShell PoC hack. https://t.co/jchKsAO3Z7
— Joe Sinkwitz (@CygnusSEO) December 2, 2022
The first official update was on Dec. 2 at 2:49 a.m.:
"We are investigating an issue that is affecting our Hosted Exchange environments. More details will be posted as they become available."
Later the company referred to the situation as a "significant failure" and began offering their customers free Microsoft Exchange Plan 1 licenses on Microsoft 365 as a workaround until they understood the problem and could bring the system back online.
It's another blow for the shares and a boon for the shorts. And there are a lot of Rackspace shorts.
According to Fintel data, the shares sport a 78.92 short squeeze score, ranking it 464 out of 5,068 companies screened.
At the close on Friday, short positions totaled 13.7 million shares out of the company's 211 million outstanding.

Combined overlock and coverlock machine. Comes, of course, with the unique jet-air threading system and automatic thread delivery system. Life is change, development - Evolution. The evolution of your creativity starts with the baby lock Evolution. Stitch with up to eight threads at once to produce breathtaking decorative effects never seen before. Combine overlock, coverlock or chain stitches as the fancy takes you. Thanks to eight separate thread paths, the machine does not have to be converted in a time-consuming process. And what is best: it is you who defines the threading order.
No need to laboriously follow any threading points. Forget about loose threads and all the associated tangle and frustration. The NEW and ingenious fully automated jet-air threading system makes threading the three loopers fun. Just place the thread in the desired looper port, push the button and hey presto, the looper is threaded completely and automatically. If you like, you can also thread all three loopers at once.
Thanks to the Evolution's automatic thread delivery (ATD) system and the stitch selector, you no longer have to worry about thread tension adjustment. Perfectly balanced stitches with threads of different qualities on a wide range of materials from fine through to heavy fabrics, are no longer a matter of good luck. Our exclusive wave stitch is a real eye catcher and only available from baby lock.
Say goodbye to frustrating unwanted puckering or wavy seams with knitwear or very fine fabrics. The adjustable differential feed (0.6 - 2.0:1) gives every stitch that perfect look. LED light - the light of the future - is now also available on your baby lock Evolution to provide a good view of the sewing area.
The baby lock Evolution features a unique, compact tubular looper system that guarantees fuss-free, quick threading. Extra-strong loopers in a quality similar to that used in industry make your baby lock Evolution fit for more difficult tasks.
The Evolutions's auxiliary looper / converter can be easily activated for a two-thread stitch. Since it is firmly connected to the upper looper, it can't get lost or misplaced.
The ingenious jet-air threading system makes threading your Evolution child's play. From now on, you are the one who defines the threading order. You no longer need to follow any coloured threading points or start again from the beginning because of a threading error. Forget about loose threads that may cause tangles and confusion. Simply choose the desired looper thread, insert it into the threading port, push the button and the yarn will be threaded up to the tip of the Evolution's looper as if by magic. In fact, all loopers will. The jet-air system of your baby lock Evolution is simply ingenious!
Never worry about thread tension again!
Thanks to the automatic thread delivery system of your baby lock Evolution. Simply choose a stitch, set the thread delivery system correspondingly and start sewing. No more tiresome tension adjustment every time you use another fabric, stitch or thread thickness. There are three sensors - stitch width sensor - stitch length sensor - fabric thickness sensor - that help you produce perfectly balanced stitches on your Evolution - with no ifs and buts! Don't leave the thread tension to chance. You can trust your baby lock Evolution blindly. See for yourself!
Your baby lock Evolution lets you adjust the stitch width quickly and easily. You can deactivate the cutter quickly and easily with a switch if you want to sew closed or tube-like pieces of clothing. The same switch reactivates the cutter whenever you need it. The cutter does not is not fully retracted and you can use it as a guide.
Apart from simple overlock and cover stitches, the baby lock Evolution also offers the fascinating baby lock wave stitch. Simply set the selector lever to wave, thread the machine and let your Evolution perform magic: it will produce a wave stitch instead of the conventional overlock stitch on your sewing project. You can also combine the wave stitch with cover stitches if you like. You will be amazed by your sewing projects' new, fascinating look.
Stretch fabrics often cause problems such as puckering or distorted seams that leave you in despair. Thanks to its differential feed, the Evolution guarantees an optimum feed of stretch fabrics and thus prevents puckering or protruding seams. You can also use the Evolution's differential feed to produce fanciful gathering or stretching effects.
One and the same dial lets you modify the stitch length and change over the enlighten to the rolled hem option. Simply read the setting value on the dial's scale.
Since both the Evolution's cutter and the chaining finger move together, it really is the stitch width that changes and not just the cutting width, as with other conventional machines. This prevents overcutting and undercutting.

Wi-Fi charges at Britain's 25 biggest airports: From free to high fees
Oliver Smith, The Daily Telegraph
- May 30, 2013 11:51 am
Freely accessible Wi-Fi at airports makes sense if only as a matter of crowd control. What better way to placate delayed flyers than letting them zone out on Netflix?
— Jason Clampet
Just four of Britain's 25 biggest airports offer free unlimited Wi-Fi access, new research has revealed.
Aberdeen, Birmingham, Edinburgh and London City airports each provide air passengers with limitless internet access free of charge – but 21 others, including the country's five busiest, do not.
The study, by the website Airport Parking and Hotels, found that the most expensive hourly charges are found at Luton, Leeds Bradford and Cardiff. All three airports charge fliers £5 an hour, while visitors to Durham Tees Valley, Doncaster Sheffield and Liverpool John Lennon are charged £4.50 an hour. At all six airports, no alternative tariff is available for those who want longer access.
At Belfast International and Exeter, travellers are charge £5.99 for 90 minutes of internet access, or £9.99 for a day.
Britain's two busiest hubs – Gatwick and Heathrow – both charge £3.95 per hour or £9.95 for a whole day, although passengers at the former are permitted 15 minutes of free use.
Meanwhile, Blackpool International offers ordinary passengers no wireless internet – the only option is to pay £16 to enter the Executive Lounge, where Wi-Fi is free.
Ten airports – Bournemouth, Bristol, Glasgow, East Midlands, Humberside, London Stansted, Manchester, Newcastle, Norwich and Southampton – offer 30 minutes of free access before charges apply.
Nick Trend, Telegraph Travel's consumer editor, said: "If McDonalds and Starbucks can offer free Wi-Fi to their customers, who might spend just £2 or less on a coffee, why can't airports do the same?
"Passengers are already paying to use the airport when they buy a flight ticket, and then pay over the odds for food and drinks while they are there – having to pay again to check your email will leave them feeling understandably frustrated."
Hotels have also faced growing criticism in recent years for continuing to charge guests for Wi-Fi. A study of 70 different individual hotels and hotel chains by Telegraph Travel last year found that just 24 do not impose fees. Luxury hotels in London were the worst offenders, with several charging £20 for a single day's access.

Why Doing Something Nice for Someone Grumpy Pays Off
healing trauma, overcoming adversity 0 Comments
February 16th is National Do a Grouch a Favor Day, a call to kindness in the name of a grouch. You can celebrate this occasion in a variety of ways — and whether you are the "grouch-er" or the "grouch-ee" doesn't matter, your kind act will benefit you either way. We've all been ill-tempered, irritable, or complained too much, and we all know somebody who engages in those behaviors. There's no shame in being a grouch: comedian Lewis Black built a very successful and celebrated career on grumpy rants. During my research for this post, I discovered a West Coast independent hip-hop artist with the stage name, The Grouch, and I downloaded some of his music. I also was reminded of the classic Sesame Street character, Oscar the Grouch. Whether you know a grouch, work for or with a grouch, or you are one, take a moment to celebrate it. And you may want to watch a clip of Oscar the Grouch in action, or check out that hip-hop artist, The Grouch. His song, "Breath" is upbeat and a good one to start with.
Now, about doing a grouch a favor…
Over the past decade, research has shown that being kind to others can result in more life satisfaction and maybe even more happiness. In a study published in the Journal of Social Psychology, scientists instructed one group of test subjects to do a kindness for three people each day over a ten-day period, instructed a second group to do three new things over the same time period, while a third group were instructed to do nothing at all for the same number of days. All test subjects reported on their level of life satisfaction and sense of well-being. The results showed that the group who did nothing reported no change. Both the group doing the kind acts and the group engaging in new experiences reported an improvement in mood and life satisfaction. But the group doing kind things for others reported the highest levels of happiness.
Research on the kindness to happiness connection abound. In a University of Oxford study, scholars reviewed metadata on the many studies and reported that being kind to others does make you 'slightly happier,' but they added that the happiness uptick is only an increase of about one point on a ten-point scale. That's still significant — especially if you're a grouch.
If you're the grouch, do yourself a favor. When you show yourself kindness, the benefits are the same. Self-kindness and compassion really do work. You can give yourself a break, buy yourself something, or use positive self-talk to build yourself up. Or you can motivate yourself to be kind and good to others by learning how people who engage in positive behavior are more likely to be well-liked, more productive and happier. Kindness counts.
When you're kind to strangers, friends and loved ones alike, you build your kindness potential — continue that practice and the behavior becomes a habit. And you may want to include charitable spending in your strategy. The amount of money doesn't matter, it's the giving to another. In the Journal of Happiness Studies, one research project published shows evidence for a positive feedback loop between spending for the good of others and happiness.
Do you have a special grump in your family?
Giving your support to a loved one has shown to benefit you as much as it benefits the one you are supporting. We talk a lot about the power of being connected to a positive support network, but sometimes we tend to think of only connecting to receive support. The truth is, both giving and receiving are equally important in the process of being connected. A study published in the Psychosomatic Medicine Journal shows that when you're giving support, the rewards in your brain include stress reduction and other soothing neural bonuses.
So, do you think you're ready to celebrate National Do a Grouch a Favor Day?
Are you wondering exactly which kind acts you'll engage in? Don't worry!
Take a pledge to choose kindness,
Join a kindness initiative,
Carry out an act of kindness,
…and other suggestions
The Kindness.org site offers interactive ways to get started on your kindness plan. Think of it as joining a goodwill gym and building your kindness muscles. Put on some hip hop by The Grouch, and do some reps! In the arena where kindness takes on grouchiness, the benefits far outweigh the risks.

Baahubali actor Prabhas RESPONDS to rumours about his marriage with co-star Anushka Shetty
ByBollywood Hungama News Network
Created: Jun 18, 2018 - 8:13 pm IST
They gave one of the biggest blockbusters in the history of Indian cinema with the Baahubali series. Prabhas and Anushka Shetty, who shared a sizzling chemistry, in the period drama ended up making fans wish for their real life marriage. In fact, their onscreen romance fueled up rumours of an off screen romance that may result in marriage. With the constant buzz, the two Bahubali actors had to take to media to respond to it.
For the past few days, media reports have been claiming varied details about an alleged impending marriage of Anushka Shetty and Prabhas. However, the two have never spoken about their 'relationship' in public. But fans have been thrilled even with the thought of their marriage. However, Anushka and Prabhas have clearly maintained that there are no such plans.
Anushka Shetty, during a recent media interaction, put an end to all the rumours. While she mentioned that Prabhas is a good friend of hers, she also clearly stated that they are not getting married. She also added that she is no hurry to settle down. On the other hand, Prabhas too decided to react on the matter. He too maintained a similar stand but also believed that it is a private matter and expressed that he doesn't wish to reveal anything further. However, he also asserted to the media that he will definitely inform them if he plans to get engaged.
While this would have disappointed the Prabhas – Anushka fans, it has definitely shut the rumour mills. On the work front, Prabhas is all set to feature in a Bollywood film. The actor is busy with the trilingual Saaho. It will feature him opposite Shraddha Kapoor and it also stars Neil Nitin Mukesh as the main antagonist. Directed by Sujeeth, the film also has Jackie Shroff, Mandira Bedi, Mahesh Manjrekar and Chunky Pandey in prominent roles.

Arpita is on top of the world! After all, she was the fresh face of Ponds India and had snubbed the casting couch of Bollywood to land a leading role in the small screen's most popular channel. Life never looked more beautiful!
Riku is a small- town man with handsome looks and big-time Bollywood dreams. He has no ethics and is raring to make it at any cost! Unable to bag big roles as the main lead he ends up accepting a romantic role opposite Arpita on the small screen. Betrayed by her own innocence, she finds herself abandoned by her dream man and cannot fathom which is more painful? Whether her failed relationship or her vanishing career!
One person must trust her to give her a chance. One opportunity must appear to raise her again! Coming Back Home – will carry you through a roller-coaster ride, yet keep you well -grounded for inspiration.
The story circles around Bollywood and the things happening inside the industry. As the blurb suggests, both protagonists are living with the aim to make big in this star-studded industry. Although, both are poles apart. While Arpita is a girl who sticks to her principles, on the contrary, Riku is a lustful man.
While working on the same daily-sop, Arpita and Riku falls in love. As destiny had it, their breakup lead to the stardom of one, and destruction of the other.
Talking about the narration and the writing style of the authoress, Anuradha has done justice with every aspect of this book. The story line is unpredictable and full of twists and turns. Every emotion – be it love, betrayal, or annihilation – has been portrayed beautifully.
The book title matches well with the concept of the story. And, the book cover is quite alluring and catches the attention at the first glance.
By reading the blurb, if you think that this book may come within the category of predictable love stories, you are wrong. The book contains a love-story but its narration is way different. While we hear actresses committing suicide for their boyfriends, this book holds a strong message. Arpita is a strong and full of strength. The story shows various emotions in a beautiful form. It is definitely an entertainer and worth grabbing.


The picture still looks pretty good. I didn't witness eclipse but I bet its fun. Thanks for sharing the photo.
What lens did you use? I can see the faint red ring around the moon. Here in my city, it was a cloudy night. I did not get to see the red moon.
Too bad I did not! I hope to catch the April 4, 2015 eclipse.
Unfortunately not but saw it being reported from the news.
I saw the remaining of the blood moon and it was spectacular. Too bad we were on the skyway when I saw it.

When Travel Restarts, Hawaiians Are Hoping for a More Respectful Future
With travelers all but locked out, the Aloha State reconsiders what the industry looks like going forward.
Save this for later.
The reefs in Maui are glowing with life. The roads are traffic free. And while the surf remains crowded, the line-ups are noticeably more local and the vibe full of camaraderie. Maui, like the rest of Hawaii, has been virtually devoid of tourists since March 26, when the state's two-week coronavirus quarantine curbed visitor arrival to the islands from 30,000 daily to fewer than 500.
In many ways, the pause has been a dream for residents. When will we ever have paradise all to ourselves again? A trip to my grocery store in the hippie town of Paia is a breeze now that I don't have to search for parking. I can bike the roads without fearing that a distracted tourist might sideswipe me. And my surf commute from the North Shore to the West side now takes half the amount of time.
Vacation from vacationers has also been a blessing for the environment; a much-needed opportunity for Hawaii's over trodden natural places to recharge. Turtles laze on the beach, free of harassment, and in the last two weeks I've spotted three endangered Hawaiian monk seals playing in the sea. The resorts that line Kapalua Bay are empty, but a recent snorkel adventure revealed its reefs are teeming with fish diversity. On Oahu, researchers have already witnessed an increase in fish life and improved coral health since the March closure of Hanauma Bay, a snorkel site that usually sees 3,000 daily visitors.
When governor David Ige recently extended the state's trans-Pacific quarantine through July 31 I felt both anxious and relieved. Stringent travel restrictions have kept Hawaii's coronavirus numbers among the lowest in the U.S., with just 736 positive cases reported as of June 16. However, they've also decimated Hawaii's economic engine: tourism.
Oahu's Hanauma Bay is much less crowded these days.
The waves are packed with surfers because one in three people are out of work. Matt Kazuma Kinoshita, a Maui-based surfboard shaper, presciently started offering coronavirus discounts on boards in early March and notes he's never been busier. "Locals have nothing else to do but surf, right now," he says. "And in a few months, when the government money runs out, people won't be able to afford surfboards."
Since March, the unemployment rate has soared from three percent to 22.3 percent, one of the highest in the nation. "We are completely dead and struggling for our lives," says Jessica Pickering, owner of Maui Diving Scuba & Snorkel Center in Lahaina. "I can't attract one student, even at a discount." Pickering, who moved to Maui from the mainland in 2017, has had to lay off her 19 employees. In an attempt to stay afloat, she's beefed up the freedive retail section of her shop to appeal to locals who are spearfishing for food.
The governor says agriculture and technology will be two sectors that help bolster the economy while tourism recovers. However tourism was such a dominant piece of the economy that the University of Hawaii's Economic Research Organization estimates that 30,000 people will leave Hawaii by 2022 to find job opportunities elsewhere.
Restarting tourism is unquestionably critical, but many also see a unique opportunity to reimagine the industry in a more responsible manner, one guided by the interests of locals. Last year, Hawaii, a state of 1.5 million people, hosted 10.4 million visitors and those unsustainable numbers have started to sour the aloha spirit. According to the Hawai'i Tourism Authority's annual survey, the majority of residents believes tourism brings more problems—including high cost of living, damage to the environment, and overcrowding—than benefits.
The around 18,000 idle rental cars packed like sardines in former sugar cane fields surrounding Maui's Kahului airport are a daily reminder of just how many people had been on the roads, particularly the famed Hana Highway. In recent years, residents along the Road to Hana created the Hana Highway Regulation Committee in a community effort to curtail tourists from parking illegally, hindering local motorists, standing in traffic lanes to snap selfies, and trespassing on private property. Since March, the stretch of highway between Kaupakalua Road to Hana Town has been restricted to local traffic in an effort to protect the remote community from the coronavirus. If it were up to most Hana locals, it would remain that way.
That sentiment extends beyond Hana. "I haven't talked to a single person who misses tourists," says 'Ekolu Lindsey, whose family has lived in Lahaina since the 1800s. "We're the last local family on this beach," he says. "Vacation rentals next door go for $10,000 a week and renters think they can do what they want because they're on vacation. We'd become beholden to tourists." The president of Maui Cultural Lands, a grassroots land trust organization, Lindsey notes Hawaii has been marketed as a playground for too long. The reef near his home is struck more than 900 times a year by snorkelers and recreational paddlers. "Maybe it's time we temper our short-term economic [concerns] for long-term resilience by taking better care of our ocean resources and people," he says.
"With this break I'm seeing families fishing together again. It reminds me of the '70s," says 'Ekolu Lindsey.
Overtourism was also impacting Hawaiian culture. "The moral fabric was changing," says Lindsey. "People have to work two to three jobs to make a living here. They didn't have time to pass on knowledge and traditions. With this break I'm seeing families fishing together again. It reminds me of the '70s."
At the start of 2020, the tourism authority had pivoted its messaging around sustainable and cultural tourism, but with its budget slashed nearly 45 percent, who will take on the responsibility of educating visitors? "The majority of tourists come and go year after year without knowing the true meaning of the culture," says Bullet Obra, a native of the Big Island. As head of watersports at Mauna Lani, an Auberge Resort, he makes it his responsibility to share his culture and the history of the area. "Once I get guests in a canoe, I make the experience more meaningful by sharing a chant or explaining the significance of paddling to our culture," he says.
Will Elliott, an Oahu native who works in commercial real estate, says there needs to be a shift in travelers' mindsets, too. "When you talk to bartenders, hula dancers, and retailers they tell you their job is not fulfilling," he says. "They're entertaining people who don't care about the culture and that's heartbreaking." Most tourists pay $30 for a Mai Tai or $100 for a seat at a luau and that's their Hawaii experience, notes Elliott. "We need to change the current consumer mindset to a contribution mindset, so people can go into the local communities and experience and understand the culture," he says. "That's how you create respectful, socially conscious visitors."

Q: Extremely slow initial connection to nginx on Vagrant? I running an Ubuntu VM via Vagrant on a Windows 10 host. On the Vagrant machine I am running a fairly standard PHP/nginx app.
Whenever I try to access the web app, it takes forever to load. Chrome network inspector shows this:
Chrome network timeline
This huge latency is completely gone on subsequent requests, but whenever I pop back into the browser and try again after a while, it crops up yet again.

*

*I am using NFS.

*I have disabled firewalls on both guest and host machines.

*I increased keepalive_timeout in nginx which helped hide the problem, as it increased the time window for latency-free subsequent requests.

*This latency occurs even when accessing static files, so I don't think it's a PHP-FPM/MySQL problem.

A: I successfully figured out what my problem was!
After looking at my Windows hosts file, it looked like my vagrant-hostmanager plugin had not been properly clearing out older IP entries (i.e. I had three seperate IP entries for myapp.dev even though only one IP was active). Probably because I'd forgotten to properly vagrant halt before shutting down my PC a few times.
Windows was clearly spending ages trying to resolve the two older entries before successfully resolving the 'real' one.
It's weird: you'd think this problem would cause the latency to show up in the DNS Lookup portion of the Chrome network timeline, rather than Initial connection, but oh well!

Colorado Springs is closer than you think
Thomas Fernando December 2, 2022 4 min read
This comment was originally published by the Daily Montanan.
Colorado Springs is not that far away. Not by mileage and not by attitude.
What happened there – God forbid – could happen here. And this isn't just a pearl clinging to a frightened snowflake. I've seen it first hand.
Covering the "Drag Queen Story Hour" at ZooMontana in Billings in June, I ignored many of the heckling and some of the worst comments aimed at the LGBTQ community, thinking that the depiction of the protesters' worst feelings at the Event tarnished all of them with the same hateful brush, and that those terrible but deeply held beliefs needed no reinforcement. It is not new to say that drag queens are pedophiles. It's a tired talking point that continues to be evoked as scaremongering despite the overwhelming research that drag queens aren't molesters.
GET THE TOMORROW HEADLINES IN YOUR INBOX
The danger to Billings — and indeed all of Montana — is that we believe a Colorado-style shooting could not happen here. Or worse, we don't think the protesters who lined the zoo's entrance and exit during storytelling session give permission to taunt, despise, or kill those who think they can treat the LGBTQ community as citizens will.
When several hundred people line the streets of Montana's largest city to claim that someone's sexual orientation or gender identification is not only an excuse for pedophilia and abuse, but that they are bound as hell in the eyes of the Lord, that sends it the message to members of the LGBTQ community are less than human and therefore available and worthless. You really can't get any other message from the signs, or from the people taking photos of the license plates and then posting them on social media, suggesting that parents who brought their children should be reported for child abuse.
Words always precede actions. They provide cover for all possible actions.
And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that the protesters, who by a generous estimate could have numbered in the hundreds, were only a small fraction of the several thousand who turned out in support of the event.
Our state-sanctioned defamation of the LGBTQ community is also troubling as lawmakers line up in 2021 to target transgender athletes and already struggling children. To every legislator who voted to support these anti-trans laws, I sincerely ask this: What are these actions in light of the Colorado Springs shooting?
Smart politicians, including those in Montana, will work to convince you that the two things are unrelated, and a bunch of people in Helena can't be held responsible for what's happening two states away. But actions like a calculated nightclub shooting aimed at a specific group of people don't just happen. It's not a new idea.
Closer to home, we have a senator who likens homosexuality to a disease and claims it's riskier than smoking. And Senator David Howard, R-Park City, will leave Helena at the end of this term, not because his views were anathema to voters, but because voters loved him so much that he was recalled.
Meanwhile, protesters exercising First Amendment rights held up signs outside of ZooMontana in June ahead of the Drag Queen Story Hour that read, "Groomers Walk of Shame," in blue letters dripping with blood.
This is more than a little ominous because it suggests violence and death. And you don't have to think twice about whose death you're thinking.
Exaggeration scrawled on old sheets? Probably. However, we cannot become so callous as to condone or ignore these types of messages, which are no longer hidden within our community and only discussed when the "right" people are at the table. Instead, they will be exhibited and featured in our community. If we agree with these messages and signs, what other messages are we sending?
I am pleased to champion our First Amendment and welcome their protest as part of civil society discourse and discussion. I would defend their right to be there, to make a mark, whatever the message. However, exercising the First Amendment is not a vaccine against criticism or responsibility. These thoughts and ideas, written in large letters on posters, suggest deeply rooted beliefs in our communities across Montana.
We cannot become so callous as to condone or ignore these types of messages that are no longer hidden in our community.
Lawmakers preparing to return to Helena in just over a month have an opportunity to send a different message. Sexuality and gender do not have to be a party issue.
I can hope that the events of Colorado Springs will offer those same lawmakers, who have an overwhelming majority, an opportunity to reexamine the notion that perhaps our laws, our rhetoric, and our positions were too extreme and went too far.
Montana fought mightily to let the world know we are open for business. The governor has championed a campaign urging Montana kids who have dropped out of college and careers to return home.
Now we must send out the message that there is plenty of room in the state for all kinds of people, or we risk becoming a fanatic's paradise.
Trust me, Colorado Springs is a lot closer than we'd like to believe.

You can achieve some neat effects when painting with watercolor paints, which can make for some unique, but quick gift tags. Some of these techniques might even bring back memories of your art classes in school. Happy painting!
Paint watercolor paper with design of your choice.
Cut paper to desired size.
Folded hang tags: cut strips 2 x 4.5", then fold in half.
Flat gift tags: cut to desired size.
Use a one-hole punch to make a hole for the string.
Write in the "To" and "From" info and attach it to a gift.
Lay a sheet of watercolor paper on a flat surface.
Cover entire surface with paint. Be generous with water, as you don't want the paint to dry (yet).
Take a piece of plastic wrap, slightly larger than the paper, and place it on the paper.
Note: You could use several smaller pieces of plastic wrap to create different designs.
As the wrap clings to the paper, notice how certain areas become darker. Move the plastic wrap around to make different designs. Move quickly! You want to position the wrap before the paint begins to dry.
Allow the paper to dry completely, and then remove the plastic wrap.
Take a sheet of watercolor paper and lay it on flat surface.
Wet a paintbrush with water and brush water over the surface of the paper.
Wet the paintbrush with paint and dab the paintbrush on the paper. The color should bleed and spread on the page.
Let dry and repeat steps #1–3 to add more splotches of color.
Let dry and cut tags to desired size.
If the paint doesn't bleed, either you need more water on the paper or more water mixed with the paint.
If the paint bleeds too much, or if you have too much water on the page, use a paper towel to blot up excess water/paint.
Measure and cut paper to desired size. For this design, we like to cut the paper first so that we know how large we should paint the design to fit the paper nicely.
Wet brush with paint; then draw a squiggly line in the shape of a tree.
Draw a squiggly line in opposite direction to complete the tree. See the trees in the image below, from left to right: one brushstroke, two strokes, and three strokes.
Note: You can wait for the paint to dry in between strokes to create a layered effect. OR go ahead and draw both lines, but be aware that the colors will bleed and the tree will look flatter.
We like to use watercolor pencils when drawing simple objects with details. Since watercolors generally yield loose, dreamy-like designs, the pencils are great for capturing details without sacrificing the dreamy nature of the paint. What's the downside to pencils? If you press too hard on the paper, you end up with indentations on the paper and/or lines that don't blend. This is not necessarily a bad thing; it's just something to keep in mind as you create.
Measure and cut paper to desired size.
Draw designs, shapes, or whatever you like.
Using a small brush, paint over design with water, one color at a time.
Note:�We prefer to let one color dry before moving on to an adjacent color so that the colors do not mix.

Author(s): Margaret Mitchell
Since its original publication in 1936, Gone With the Wind--winner of the Pulitzer Prize and one of the bestselling novels of all time--has been heralded by readers everywhere as The Great American Novel.
Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.
Widely considered The Great American Novel, and often remembered for its epic film version, Gone With the Wind explores the depth of human passions with an intensity as bold as its setting in the red hills of Georgia. A superb piece of storytelling, it vividly depicts the drama of the Civil War and Reconstruction.
This is the tale of Scarlett O'Hara, the spoiled, manipulative daughter of a wealthy plantation owner, who arrives at young womanhood just in time to see the Civil War forever change her way of life. A sweeping story of tangled passion and courage, in the pages of Gone With the Wind, Margaret Mitchell brings to life the unforgettable characters that have captured readers for over seventy years.
One of the most famous love stories of all time.
Margaret Mitchell was born in Atlanta, Georgia, the daughter of an attorney who was president of the Atlanta Historical Society. She married in 1925, and spent the following ten years putting down on paper the stories she had heard about the Civil War. The result was Gone With The Wind, first published in 1936. It won the Pulitzer prize, sold over ten million copies, was translated into eighteen languages and was later made into one of the best-loved films of all time starring Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable. This book, a record bestseller, was her only published work. She died in 1949.

Q: insert from two named graphs? I'm looking for an easy way to insert triples from two or more named graphs (but not the entire unnamed default graph) into another named graph.  I'm using GraphDB.
I guess this could be done by writing out the same query multiple times in the WHERE section, wrapped in multiple  GRAPH specifications, and then unioning them together, but my WHEREs are long and I'd prefer not to write them out multiple times.
Let's say I have loaded some data like this:
INSERT DATA {
  GRAPH <http://example.com/ngA> {
    <http://example.com/person1> <http://example.com/name> "Arthur" .
  }
  GRAPH <http://example.com/ngB> {
    <http://example.com/person1> <http://example.com/name> "Brian" .
  }
  GRAPH <http://example.com/ngC> {
    <http://example.com/person1> <http://example.com/name> "Charlie" .
  }
}

I can copy all of the triples of a certain pattern from the default unnamed graph into a new named graph with something like this:
INSERT {
  GRAPH <http://example.com/ngZ> {
    ?s <http://example.com/moniker> ?o .
  }
}
WHERE
  { ?s  <http://example.com/name>  ?o }

An easy way to SELECT for triples of a given pattern from two or more (but not all) named graphs is
SELECT  *
FROM <http://example.com/ngA>
FROM <http://example.com/ngB>
WHERE
  { ?s  <http://example.com/name>  ?o }

What if I want to copy those triples, from those specified graphs, into another graph?
I'm getting an error from GraphDB 8.3 (and from the sparql.org validator) when I try to
INSERT {
  GRAPH <http://example.com/ngZ> {
    ?s <http://example.com/moniker> ?o .
  }
}
WHERE
  { SELECT  *
FROM <http://example.com/ngA>
FROM <http://example.com/ngB>
WHERE
  { ?s  <http://example.com/name>  ?o } }

A: Try this query:
PREFIX ex: <http://example.com/>

INSERT {
  GRAPH ex:ngZ { ?s ex:moniker ?o }
}
WHERE {
  GRAPH ?g { ?s ex:name ?o }
  FILTER (?g IN ( ex:ngA, ex:ngB ) )
}

And then:
PREFIX ex: <http://example.com/>

SELECT *
FROM NAMED ex:ngZ
WHERE {
    GRAPH ?g { ?s ?p ?o }
} LIMIT 100

Is it what you need?
By the way, there exist COPY (use with caution!) and ADD.

A: SPARQL Update provides USING and USING NAMED analogous to FROM and FROM NAMED in queries:

The USING and USING NAMED clauses affect the RDF Dataset used while evaluating the WHERE clause. This describes a dataset in the same way as FROM and FROM NAMED clauses

You can express the requirement as an UPDATE like so:
INSERT {
  GRAPH <http://example.com/ngZ> {
    ?s <http://example.com/moniker> ?o .
  }
}
USING <http://example.com/ngA>
USING <http://example.com/ngB>
WHERE
  {  ?s  <http://example.com/name>  ?o }

Also note that, according to the SPARQL query grammar, a subquery does not admit a dataset clause. This is why the SPARQL parsers are rejecting your query.

A: Thanks, @Stanislav Kralin
Come to think of it, this also works:
PREFIX ex: <http://example.com/>
INSERT {
    GRAPH ex:ngZ {
        ?s ex:moniker ?o
    }
}
WHERE {
    values ?g {
        ex:ngA ex:ngB
    }
    GRAPH ?g {
        ?s ex:name ?o
    }
}


Conveniently located 30 miles from Edinburgh in the historic burgh of Dunbar, The Kipper House is a delightful holiday cottage by the sea.
The cottage sleeps 6 – 8 people and is on two floors with 1 twin and two double bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, sitting room (with sunny snug) as well as a garden overlooking the East Beach and the sea.
The Kipper House is close to Dunbar's High Street which has shops, restaurants and bars and is a short walk to the harbour. Dunbar is ideal for family holidays with beaches and rockpools as well as surfing, golf, sailing, and walking.


Last winter I attended a Hobby Show on behalf of the Halifax RC Park. While I was there I couldn't help but notice the Model Railway set ups, they immediately took me back to my childhood, almost as much as RC. On the advice of a few of the experts, I bought a small Presidents Choice Train set, just to see if I really enjoyed it. Well. The results are in and I truly enjoy it. As winter approaches my RC 's have been maintained, cleaned and put away for the better part of 2 weeks and I am getting antsy, so I decided this winter to build a 4×8 Ho Scale Model railway layout. I am truly learning this from scratch and by no means an expert. Throughout the coming months, I will post pictures of my build here on this page, share my triumphs and defeats as I tackle this project. I will still post RC stuff from time to time and will get back into the RC scene once the snow is gone, but for now, I will be building a Model Railway.
Since the last video, the factory/warehouse has been relocated to the top of the yard. A church has been added as well as a another house. All of the lighting is now complete. We do have plans to change out the street lights to a different style.
These were shot at night with low light in attempt to show the Park and Street Lights.
Stacey got her park lit up. She was nervous at first, because she had never done anything electrical, but soon settled in like a "Boss" and wired it up.
I got the street lights in place and wired. I really like the look they add to the layout.
Stacey begins work on her subdivision…. I remember when this was just my hobby.
"X" marks the spot where she will run the wires for the lights for her houses.
She has made solid progress.
The Drive In is in place, I just need to put down some ground cover.
Ground cover in place. I will be wiring in the projector light next.
Stacey is getting ready to tackle the park.
The fence is up and people are in place, Trees and bushes are next.
I will be putting the water in place soon. You can also see the streets have been lined.
The ballast is finished for now. The parking lot for the park is also in place.
A better shot of the park and the new house.
This is the old park location and the future home of a church. I put in a elevation so the church will be on a hill.
Just an overview of the current situation.
I got plans for this spot.
Putting down a base ground colour.
Walthers Skyview Drive-In. This should go nicely in that spot.
It is starting to come together. I still need to put down some gravel and the speakers for the cars.
The DQ & the Gas station are in place. The curbs are made from a piece of railway and painted grey to look like concrete curbs.
Another angle of the DQ & gas station. I went with a rock wall facing the train tracks.
These are the areas currently under construction.
My wife is currently building another house that will be placed in the middle.
This is the old park location. I decided to elevate the area and this maybe the location of a church.
I started to ballast the track. This was hard on the nerves. I will wait until it dries, try it out and if everything is good, I will finish the track. You can also see the backside of the DQ and gas station.
Ballast on the track as it heads into the tunnel.
This is an FPV of the layout in its current state. There are more changes on the way. Just when you think your happy, you blow things up and start again. I am really enjoying this hobby.
So I moved the factory from beside the tunnel to the end of the table. The hill and the garage I had at this location have been removed from the layout at this time.
At the end of the layout beside the tunnel, where the factory used to be, will be a Drive-In Theatre, a Dairy Queen and a gas station.
The brown square at the right of the picture is looking like it will be the third location for the park. Yep the park is moving agian.
This is my fleet of locomotives. The Diesel CN and CP are both Athearn Genesis GP9 w/DCC and Sound.
The Steam Locomotive which is also a CN, was part of the first train set I bought last spring. It is a Mehano 2-6-0 Mogol Steam Engine with attached Tender. It is based on locomotives widely built in the USA from the early 1860s to the 1920s.
My wife had a Digitrax Sound and Function Decoder added to the Steamer as a Christmas present. This will allow me to run my first train on my new layout.
The residential section is coming together. That is an empty lot next to the gray house. Know anyone looking to build?
It is tough to see, but the houses are built on a small hill.
The water section still requires some work. The park is almost finished, with the exception of the parking lot and the addition of a little more vegetation.
This will be a small residential section made up of three houses. The road will end at a memorial park being built by my wife.
A different angle shows the same thing, but it gives you a better look at the size of the water way. Which still happens to be pink.
A quick cellphone video of the work in progress. The blue water is not permanent, I just put it down to help me visualize.
It is almost time to start to ballast.
I got the roads cleaned up.
They went together much like the car models I use to do as a kid.
Thought I would take a break from working on the Train. I decided a couple of houses would be a nice distraction.
Some road painting and crack fill. I think the color is too light, I will need to redo them.
The roads are starting to take shape.
The cork in front of the 7/11 will be a road.
The 7/11 was bought second hand.
I bought this piece second hand. I was really happy with the weathering the previous owner did to it.
A wider shot of the ground cover.
Putting down some ground cover.
A wider shot of the painting in progress.
Starting to paint. Here is one of the tunnel entrances.
I got the lights in the lamp posts and house all wired up.
While working on the tunnel, I am running my trains around the track, making sure I have a smooth operation. As of this morning, after many track adjustments my Locomotives are running smooth, but I have had to make some modifications to some rolling stock, in order to keep them rolling. All turnouts are functioning great, but I do have a little track work to do in the yard where I am experiencing some connectivity issues.
I am starting to see it come to life.
I used a sanding block to round out the edges.
It is time to start sculpting and making it more like a landscaped tunnel/mountain instead of a pile of rigid board.
Some will be glued in place and others will beheld together with tooth picks. This will allow me access to the tunnel should I need it.
I just hollow it out where I need it and stack them on each other.
I am going to use the rigid insulation to make my tunnel.
This change will bring the track over what will eventually be a tunnel.
I wanted a better functioning rail Yard which meant using the ledge under a window.
After running my trains for a week and making sure my layout worked, which it did. I decided to change it in order to add more function and leave more room for scenery. The inside Rail Yard has got to go.
I put down a cork rail bed. I like the look of the raised track.
Cutting out a "Gulley", I just want a reason to put in a bridge.
Testing the layout, making sure everything works.
This is the layout. It features 2 connecting ovals, with a connected small inner loop. It also includes elevation changes, a over-under, a rail bridge and a rail yard.
Gluing done some 2″ rigid insulation.
A blank slate. A 4×8 sheet of plywood on a table top.

Water Seed - We Are Stars
In New Orleans, the word gumbo can refer to food and music. The sounds that emerge from the city's musical stew are an amalgamation of African, Spanish, French and Native American influences that can be heard in the jazz, blues, gospel, soul, marches and R&B that are a part of the city's musical identity.
New Orleans is not the first city that comes to mind when folks think of funk music. Dayton or all points Ohio (probably), New York (definitely), and even Washington, D.C. But when it comes to Funk, New Orleans takes a back seat to no city. New Orleans gave the world The Meters, Dr. John and Trombone Shorty to name a few – and there is no shortage of funkiness there.
The band Water Seed also hails from New Orleans, and their latest effort, We Are Stars, might just be the most Crescent City rooted of their five albums. Over the course of 14 songs, Water Seed provides listeners with an overview of how to throw blues, jazz, gospel, soul and rock into a pot and come out with something that's funky. It's hard to hold listeners' attention over the course of 14 tracks, and We Are Stars contains a little bit of filler, but listeners don't get to rest too long.
"Bollywood" tells that too familiar story of guys watching that girl in the club move exotically to the music, and while the lyrics are kind of cliché, listeners are treated to a band that is top flight and consistently top flight throughout. The group bounces back strongly on "Home to You," a mournful waltz that fuses the soulful blues of Dr. John with some gospel infused backing vocals. It is one of two top flight ballads found on We Are Stars. The other ballad, the doo-wop styled "Messed Up," features a torrid vocal performance by Berkley the Artist.
We Are Stars takes off from there. The brassy and thumping bass of "Funktimus Prime" puts a spin on the character Optimus Prime from The Transformers cartoon and action film franchise. Transformers fans know that the Optimus Prime's alter-ego is a truck. Berkley is a working stiff until 5 p.m. Friday where he goes home and transforms into the party robot.
The motivational "Brand New Day" starts with a R&B arrangement and Berkley and Shaleyah singing about the possibilities brought daily by rising of the sun. The track then slides into jazz with a bit of improve by flautist Cinese that takes us straight to the sanctified church as the band breaks it down so the saints can do their holy dance.
"Duke-ish" is an instrumental tribute to George Duke, who mentored keyboardist J Sharp. And the tune serves as a platform for Sharp to do a bit of creating in honor of the late keyboardist, while "Purple and White" is a slice of 70s era funk/jazz fusion. The Motown styled "Work It Out" finds Berkley recalling parental advice extolling the virtue and dignity of hard work. "My daddy said/can't just sit around/watching clouds fly by while the world's spinning around/He said son/I know you're feeling down/but a hard day's work/is where your gift is found."
Natural disaster forced members of Water Seed out of the city for a time, but musically they never left New Orleans because all musical roads, from blues, soul and yes – funk - eventually lead back to New Orleans. And they've provided quite a tour with We Are Stars. Recommended.

Q: jQuery .dialog() + .post() problem I have a form on modal dialog that need to be filled up and on pressing "Save" save results into database. I use following code to open form which is jQuery-ui dialog and jQuery .post() method. I don't need to show anything when form is closed and processed.
    $('#cdialog').dialog({
    autoOpen: false,
    modal: true,
    buttons: {
        "Save": function() {
                $.post('process.php', $("#cform").serialize());
                $(this).dialog('close');
            },
        Cancel: function() {
                $(this).dialog('close');
            }
        }
    });
$('#cdialog').dialog('open');

This is code in process.php
$data = (object)array(
    'map' => $_POST['map'],
    'type' => $_POST['type'],
    'name' => $_POST['name']
);

Concepts::save($data);

I checked with alert($("#testform").serialize()) in "Save" function that parameters are actually being passed. Checked with Apache log that POST request is being sent. But it is still not working. If I just run php file passing all parametes in array without trying to get $_POST variables, data is saved. I don't understand why it is not working from dialog...

A: I believe you are having a timing issue. Please change your code from
"Save": function() {
            $.post('process.php', $("#cform").serialize());
            $(this).dialog('close');
        }

to reflect the following
"Save": function() {
            $.post('process.php', $("#cform").serialize(), function () {
                  $('#cdialog').dialog('close');
            });

        }
