The panel schedule at Walker Stalker Con was packed, and I made time to attend as many as possible. Although the convention had great attendance, I loved that there wasn't really a need to line up hours beforehand in order to get a seat – I was often able to walk right in and grab a place fairly close to the front of the room (except for the Andrew Lincoln panel, though, obviously, that wasn't surprising).
I definitely had my favorites out of the ones I attended, and I thought it would be great to share some highlights of my 'top three' – the first one being Zombie Costuming with Eulyn Womble. This panel was a great mix of general discussion about Eulyn's work on The Walking Dead and hints at how to get the zombie and survivor looks from the show.
When asked if she thought she would get tired of working on TWD, Ms. Womble insisted that, despite a lot of long days which often include early mornings and/or late nights, she wouldn't tire of it "any time soon". She said she is "constantly challenged…by every script", it helps that the "different show runners give different aesthetics" for her to work with, and there are always new parts of the story for which she can't wait to put together costumes. I'm sure it helps that she actually enjoys watching the show, as well – she said she watches it every Sunday as it airs and even 'converses' with her Twitter followers during the episodes.
In terms of advice on how viewers can put together their own Walking Dead style costumes, most of the focus was on how to create the zombie looks. Somewhat recently, the show has introduced 'survivors-turned-zombie' – those being people who, like Rick and Daryl and Carol and Michonne, were able to live for some time before dying and becoming zombies. This means their clothes are a lot more thrown together, patched up, and worn; often they'll even be wearing bits and pieces of armor (usually homemade). Creating these zombie looks involves harsher tools than just the pumice stones that are used to age the humans' clothes – often the zombie clothing takes a lot of wax, as well as knives with serrated edges. "We take pride in destroying [costume pieces]," Eulyn pointed out.
Although I only caught bits and pieces of Andrew Lincoln's panel (due to having to be in a certain place at a certain time for his press roundtable), but what I did hear was just more proof that he truly enjoys being a part of this show, and really respects the fans. He talked about how excited he was to land the role of Rick Grimes. In fact, his brother is a fan of the comics and told Andrew that he better not mess things up! One of the things that was important from the beginning was, of course, Rick's southern accent. Andrew began working with a dialect coach before they even started filming season one, and he explained that because the southern tone "dries you out", he feels that unless he loses his voice after a day of filming, he "hasn't done his job".
Finally, one of the last panels I attended was on Sunday afternoon, and it featured Melissa Ponzio (Karen) and Daniel Thomas May (Alan). Sadly, neither Melissa/Karen or Daniel/Alan is on TWD anymore, but that didn't make this panel any less interesting. My favorite part was when both Melissa and Daniel talked about some scenes that they filmed that didn't make it into the show. Daniel's spoke of a 'bridge' scene that was supposed to occur after Ben's death, in which he pulled Tyreese aside and railed about how the people in the prison were responsible for his son's death. In fact, Daniel admitted, this scene didn't even make it into the deleted scenes when season three was released on DVD/Blu-Ray!
Being a big fan of the comics, Daniel Thomas May had been interested in being a part of The Walking Dead as soon as he heard that they were making it into a television show – and when he later found out that he would be playing a character who was at least loosely based on someone in the comics, it was quite exciting. When asked what he was excited to see in terms of the show's future, he mentioned the soon-to-come introduction of Abraham (another character featured in the comics) – something that I actually hadn't heard about, but was able to confirm via the show's Wiki page.
For Melissa's part, she said that The Walking Dead provided her with the "two biggest secrets of her life" – the first being that she was on the show at all, as she kept that quiet right up until she appeared last season; the second being that she died in 4×02. When she joined the show, she had to sign a lot of legal documents, including many regarding spoilers, but then, she didn't know at the time that her character would end up being quite as important as she was. In fact, it was Laurie Holden (Andrea) who 'named' Karen. Laurie believed that Andrea would need a friend in Woodbury – a female friend, that is – and she chose Melissa/Karen.
The cut scene that Melissa specifically mentioned is one that would have been placed just after the attack in cell block D. It showed Karen moving out of her own cell and into Tyreese's, which Melissa explained is "akin to being married in the apocalypse". She also pointed out that Karen and Tyreese "were really committed" and that it was difficult to only have two episodes in which to showcase their relationship before her death.
Speaking of her death, though, Ms. Ponzio was adamant that she is okay with it. Karen's death "was necessary for Tyreese's character development", she explained.
As you can see, all of the Walking Dead cast and crew members featured in these three panels went out of their way to express their appreciation for their experiences on the show. It would be impossible for me to have listened to them and not come away with a greater appreciation for all that goes into making The Walking Dead a reality, and I only wish I'd had time to attend every single panel offered at Walker Stalker Con.
But hey, there's always next year!

Tu B'Shevat is the ideal time to start a conversation about anything green. My three and a half year old daughter is fascinated by the concept of things that grow. Unfortunately we have only a small back yard, and in the blazing heat of an Australian summer, it's not an ideal time for planting. Also, she likes it when things grow overnight – something not easily achieved.
Then I remembered from my own childhood the joy of growing cress. I bought a packet of seeds, and the scent which wafted out transcended decades!
– a flat, waterproof container. I used an old baking tray, but something like an icecream container lid or takeaway container or lid would work just as well.
– kitchen towelling, or cotton wool, or any other absorbent material that you can keep damp.
1. Place kitchen towelling/cotton wool on waterproof container and wet with water. I used about 6 layers of paper towelling, as it's very warm here at the moment and I wanted something I could keep damp overnight.
2. Sprinkle with seeds – the more the merrier. My seed packets advise planting mustard seeds 4 days later than the cress seeds if you want to harvest them together.
3. Cover the seeds with a sheet of paper until they germinate. It's OK to peek, and you need to keep spraying them with water, or somehow gently watering the paper towelling without disturbing the seeds. Place the container in a warm, sunny location, preferably at child-height so they can go and check on them 10 times a day.
5. Harvest your mature cress and mustard for use in salads and egg sandwiches. Or just enjoy a little bit of Eden, grown in the comfort of your own home.

Machiavellian adj. elaborately cunning; scheming, unscrupulous.
Machiavellianism n. (N. dei Machiavello, Florentine statesman and political writer d. 1527, who advocated resort to morally questionable methods in the interests of the State).
How remarkable that an Italian living in the 15th and 16th centuries should lend his name to a word still in common usage in the English language today.
The Prince has remained a prominent classic ever since its publication in 1513; valued for its shrewd psychological insight, powerful words and prophetic quality. And even today, it has never lost its power to shock and influence.
Ian Richardson played machiavellian Francis Urquhart in the hit TV series The House of Cards, To Play the King and The Final Cut. His formidable reading of this modern unabridged translation is an accessible and entertaining way in to a truly compelling world view.
Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527) held office as a senior civil servant for fourteen years until the downfall of the Republic in 1512. No longer officially employed to impart advice, instead Machiavelli poured out his ideas and resentments in his writings as a gift for Prince Lorenzo de Medici. The Prince was the Italian's only major work.

Parent mad at Apple for not stopping his 10-year old daughter's $2,500 TikTok shopping spree
Parents, we know it is frustrating when your child goes behind your back and spends your hard-earned money on in-app purchases and the like. As the parent, it is your job to teach your child right from wrong; it is not up to Apple or TikTok to teach your child the right thing to do especially when the child is on the spectrum (meaning that he or she has some degree of learning disabilities because of autism).
Yet, the father of a 10-year-old autistic girl is upset at Apple for not blocking what could only be seen as suspicious payments totaling $2,500 to a TikTok creator.
10-year old girl spends nearly $2,500 of her father's money to make TikTok purchases behind her dad's back
According to a letter written to the U.K.'s Telegraph publication, a reader with the initials "AH" had given his autistic 10-year old daughter an iPhone this past Christmas. Some might consider that to be a healthy purchase for an autistic child while others might worry that it would lead to sensory overload. Four days later, the child purchased $2,486 in coins for TikTok over 23 separate transactions. The parent discovered the purchases after an invoice had been sent directly from Apple to his inbox.
Father buys his autistic daughter a new iPhone this past Christmas
The parent asked Apple for a refund for each of the 23 purchases made by his daughter but each one was denied. Attempts to contact Apple's headquarters, including the one based in Ireland, failed. Eventually, the father was given a link to Apple's legal processes which "gives very little information at all," he noted. "AH" came to the sad conclusion that "This is such a lot of money to lose in the space of a few minutes in this way."
The child's father wrote, "I believe Apple has let me down by failing to identify the unusual activity on my account and protecting me by blocking the suspicious payments. I also feel its customer care has been nonexistent." Also non-existent was any protection that the father should have taken. If he had given the situation a little thought, he could have activated child safety controls which would have blocked his child from using her iPhone to make purchases while also limiting what the child could do with her device.
Apple eventually refunded the money back to the parent
Ironically, the father had activated the child safety controls on his child's previous iPhone model, just not on the new one. The TikTok creator whom the child made the payments to has over four million followers and was verified by TikTok. At first, TikTok said that the member, using the code name "Ohidur247," hadn't broken any rules but didn't explain what the payments were for.
TikTok was pressed to investigate further and discovered that the member had violated guidelines related to frauds and scams. The member was taking payments in exchange for followers which goes against TikTok rules. After hearing about the new information, Apple decided to reimburse the parent in full while also reminding him that parental controls are available.
The Telegraph report noted that Apple's payment system "should have flagged up suspicious activity and blocked the payments," similar to the anti-fraud measures that raise red flags after certain purchases are made using a bank's purchasing platform.
As for "Ohidur247," he apparently remains a TikTok member in good standing although he is no longer allowed to live-stream. His account is still active and verified.
Stories about a minor going on an App Store buying spree after getting access to money from his/her parents behind their back, have become an all too-common tale. And unfortunately, everyone gets hurt. Apple usually caves and returns the funds, the parents have to fight to be made whole, and the child often gets yelled at for reasons he/she doesn't fully understand.

With Arizona in the midst of one of its worst wildfire seasons in the state's history, the insurance company State Farm is reminding all homeowners that no one is immune to the environmental disaster.
According to statistics gathered from the National Interagency Fire Center, the insurance giant says 3.2 million acres have burned as a result of wildfires in the U.S. this year.
With virtually every state having had at least one wildfire, State Farm says all homeowners should adhere to a few safety rules, especially now that the hot summer months are around the corner.
For instance, the source states homeowners should be sure to remove all flammable things that are within 100 feet of a property, such as dead shrubs, long grass and twigs. State Farm says proper maintenance, such as regular mowing and raking can reduce a home's risk of being affected by a wildfire as well.
The insurance giant also says homeowners should be sure to clear their gutters of debris, as unkempt gutters can pose a fire hazard.
Based on the latest statistics available, Texas saw the highest number of acres that burned in 2009, according to the National Interagency Coordination Center, with thousands filing home insurance claims.

New Student Recreation Center: What do you think about it?
Thread starter Jason Svoboda
center recreation student
Jason Svoboda
The Bird Level
A proposed student recreation center at Indiana State University moved one step closer to reality Thursday following action by the university's governing board.
The Board of Trustees approved the schematic design, budget and funding plan, and authorized the university's administration to seek state approval to construct a more than 107,000-square-foot complex on the north side of the Indiana State campus adjacent to Cunningham Memorial Library.
The two-story complex would include facilities for general student fitness and recreation, multi-purpose meeting and activity space, wellness and lifestyle education programming, and recreational and intramural sports.
Plans prepared by Hastings & Chivetta Architects, Inc. of St. Louis include a three-court gymnasium and a multi-activity court with a durable surface suitable for such activities as soccer and roller hockey. Plans also call for a leisure aquatics facility, jogging track, climbing wall, fitness center, spinning room, two multi-purpose rooms, student lounge, juice bar, and outdoor recreation yard. The facility would be constructed of red brick and limestone to complement other nearby campus buildings.
"This really is a milestone for the university. The student recreation center will have a dramatic impact on university life in so many ways," Board of Trustees President Michael Alley said.
"A recreation center can promote healthy lifestyles, provide a place to relieve stress and help students to succeed. Modern recreation centers serve as major hubs on campus and can help recruit and retain students," said Tom Ramey, vice president for student affairs.
"This is an important project, both in terms of improving student life and in meeting our stated goal to foster a holistic student approach to higher education," said Hobart Scales, Student Government Association president. "In my four years of service to Indiana State University, I have never been more excited about a project or issue."
In a referendum last year, Indiana State students endorsed the recreation center by a margin of more than two-to-one, Scales noted.
Total cost of the project is estimated at $24 million, with $5.5 million from private sources and the remaining funds to come from a dedicated student fee of up to $120 per semester beginning fall 2006.
In other action Thursday, trustees approved an approximate 6 percent increase in room and board rates for 2006-07.
The rate for students with less than 56 credit hours (generally freshmen and sophomores) will be $6,294.08 per year. Rates for upper class residence hall students will, as in the past, remain frozen at their sophomore level as long as sufficient academic progress is shown. The rate for students with 56-86 credit hours will be $5,937.76 and the rate for students with 87 hours or more will be $5,615.10.
Rates at other four-year universities in Indiana with comparable meal plans are 4 percent to 21 percent higher than at Indiana State.
Trustees also authorized the Division of Student Affairs to enter into a five-year agreement with Nelligan Sports Marketing, Inc. to serve as the university's agent, focusing on national and regional advertisers.
Nelligan will serve as the university's agent in marketing various opportunities to corporate advertisers, including audio and video messaging at sporting events, signs, advertising, ticket and promotional packages and event sponsorships.
Nelligan will split with the university any revenues beyond those currently generated by Indiana State's in-house marketing efforts. The company will be responsible for all operating expenses and the university will retain full control over which contracts to enter into, Ramey said.
"We will maintain a staff commitment to preserving relationships with our local advertisers and friends," Ramey said.
I know this is technically old news, but since we didn't exist when the story dropped, I figured I'd bring it up now. What does everyone think about this facility they are looking to build?

The Sycamore Level
I am out of town and had not seen the details so it was educational. It looks to be a great addition to the campus.
I wonder how it compares in size to the RHIT Hulbert Center that has a pool, large indoor area with BB and tennis courts, weight training and the varsity BB arena good enough to bring the Colts back every year and to serve a student body of 1800.

Planning inspector rejects proposal to turn farm building into holiday apartments
Decision affecting South Sway Farm upheld on appeal
By Christopher Yandell
A decision by the National Park Authority has been upheld on appeal.
A PLANNING battle in a Hampshire village has ended in defeat for the applicant.
An appeal was lodged after the New Forest National Park Authority (NPA) rejected an application to turn a building at South Sway Farm, Sway, into two holiday apartments.
But government-appointed planning inspector Martin Allen has upheld the NPA's decision.
Citing one of his reasons for dismissing the appeal Mr Allen said the nearest bus stops were along a main road.
He added: "Accessing these would necessitate a walk along a rural road, with no footway facilities, no street lighting and little opportunity for pedestrians to take refuge from passing traffic.
"As such, it would be unattractive for persons to walk along this road, particularly in inclement weather or when carrying luggage."

of Arthur J. Williams Jr.
Introduction of Arthur J. Williams Jr.
Arthur J. Williams Jr. is perhaps best known for being the counterfeiter who successfully replicated the supposedly impossible to replicate 1996 hundred dollar bill. Secret Service agents doggedly pursued Williams as he printed what some estimate to have been as much as $10 million in fake money before he eventually landed in federal prison for six and a half years. This was the third time he was incarcerated for his criminal exploits that have been covered in Rolling Stone, VICE, Gizmodo, Forbes and featured on American Greed.
This story sounds like the biography of a career criminal, but during that last stint behind bars, Art reinvented himself as a legit artist. Sticking to what he knew, Williams began painting old currency to pass his time, as well as reconnect to his artistic nature. He began reading books on Da Vinci and Michelangelo, and over time, mastered their techniques with his own personal ones. With his admiration for the ancient art of engraving still captivating him, his passion for ink transformed to oil, thus bringing him to create the masterful collection of currency on canvas and paper.
With a chance to make more money illicitly, the offers were there, Williams has put the focus on the brush and focused solely on work, family and staying free. Choosing to believe in his art rather than his proclivities for crime, Williams has created the 1875 Freedom Collection. This is a collection of currency that was printed in honor of the enactment of the civil liberties act. Within each bill's design is a powerful, female character representing the strength of America.


Engineering has changed a good deal over the period of arthistory. By implementing the on-line technology, obtaining info on all types of subjects has become rather straightforward. Genetic engineering, if accepted, are going to have negative influence on the society. The technologies utilised for creating nuclear power can similarly be employed to make nuclear arms. The applications sector has become the modern businesses of world. Pc technology gave increase to the business and transformed the area of the earth. As it continues to create on a day- today basis, the problems with these applications will probably evaporate. New technologies and new techniques of production wants a defined shift in the existent division of labour in society. The web has become a crucial propagator of knowledge, both through free in addition to compensated services. The net has given us a standard system and medium through which we have the skill to explore diverse civilizations and political orientations.
You've the knowledge, you've the ability, and also you have the options.
It is humanity's greatest means of conversation yet. Computers have converted into a critical component of every hospital. Subsequently, it truly isn't wrong to say that computer for a engineering isn't an horrible point. Contemporary technology has transformed the approach many businesses produce their goods and manage their company Today's electronic mail engineering utilizes the store and forward design. With the debut of video and Internet, many critical developments have happened in the region of censorship around the world. Some can assert that it's impossible to have a scientific comprehension of feelings and spiritual reality.

Technical writing is quite a fantastic opportunity for people that are searching for different things. Way more, with regard to argumentative and persuasive writing.

To illustrate this last stage, visualize you're composing an argumentative article and you realize you don't find out how to compose the preceding paragraph. A summary essay is challenging to compose particularly because it really is really easy misread the important article and write a synopsis that does not clarify it in any regard. If your articles or essays are on the net, title plays a primary part in the entire occurrence. After heading by means of this list, you may well be able to produce a couple themes by yourself Informative essay issues are excellent for individuals who wish to learn more about the region of innovative writing. Additionally, tons of the previous topics appear to be recycled, therefore if we all take a look at tons of the previous topics that came up in essaywriter the examination, offering a fair possibility that we'll have believed about that special issue. Hence, lots of individuals regularly occupy argumentative research paper topics.
We'll open source these formulas soon.

W&N signs exploration of pain
Published May 15, 2015 by Joshua Farrington
Weidenfeld & Nicolson has acquired an investigation into the pain industry by debut author Julia Buckley.
Bea Hemming, editorial director at Weidenfeld & Nicolson, signed...
Bea Hemming, editorial director at Weidenfeld & Nicolson, signed World English rights in Heal Me in a deal with Ed Wilson at Johnson & Alcock.
Described as "part investigation, part memoir", the book chronicles Buckley's own experience as a chronic pain sufferer. Dismissed by the medical establishment, Buckley explored a number of "faith healers, alternative therapists and miracle workers" looking for relief. The book looks at the boundary where medicine, psychology and belief collide, while examining the failures of pain management in modern medicine.
Hemming said: "It was Julia's voice that made this stand out for me. She writes about her own experiences with astonishing honesty, clarity and wit, as well as exploring the wider issues at stake with curiosity, rigour and determination. The book raises all sorts of fascinating questions about the boundaries between science, psychology and belief, as well as the limits of the modern medical system, but I'm certain that it also marks the arrival of an exciting new writing talent."
Wilson said: "Julia is a rare talent – fearless and persistent, she articulates her experience in a way that is witty, affecting, and totally lacking in self-pity. She has the humour of Jon Ronson, the honesty of Liz Jones, the rigour of Ben Goldacre and the insight of Henry Marsh."
Buckley is a journalist and translator based in Cornwall.
Heal Me will be published in spring 2017.

Looking after mums on the inside
Sometimes mothers end up in prison and researchers from University of Technology Sydney and The University of Newcastle have been working to find the best way to support them.
Their study of Indigenous female inmates in NSW and Western Australia found that we need better targeted health programs in prisons.
"Many of the mothers had a history of removal from their families and almost half were caring for children under five prior to imprisonment," said Professor Elizabeth Sullivan from University of Technology Sydney and The University of Newcastle.
"We need to break the cycle of intergenerational trauma, with over 450 children adversely impacted by their mothers' incarceration in our one study alone," Professor Sullivan said.
The research found current prison healthcare models were limited in scope and cultural awareness, but a more holistic, patient-centred approach that considered Aboriginal connection to land, culture and community could deliver better outcomes.
"Listening to these women is the first step towards developing better health programs to deliver within the prison environment that help improve ongoing health and social outcomes for Aboriginal women and their families," Professor Sullivan says.
The study was a joint initiative between The University of Newcastle, University of Technology Sydney, The University of Sydney, UNSW Sydney, Curtin University, The Australian National University and The University of Western Australia.
Research to help mothers in prison is only possible if we support our universities. To keep Australia clever, please sign the petition below.


When Concord's Main Street Project was officially completed in November, the city celebrated with small festivities, like street music, speeches and a reception at the Capitol Center for the Arts.
But CCA Executive Director Nicolette Clarke felt it was a little underwhelming, especially when you look at what the new streetscape means for the capital city. Mostly, the mood wasn't right; the weather was cold, the days were short. People were more concerned with the upcoming holiday season.
Clarke brought the idea to Creative Concord, a standing committee in the Concord Chamber of Commerce focused on advancing the creative economy, which is made up of community leaders and cultural organization representatives. Everyone liked the idea.
In January, they hatched the idea of the Capital Arts Fest, which occurs this Saturday, May 6.
Almost every cultural organization in Concord is participating — including the Community Players of Concord (who presents Other Desert Cities at the Audi), McGowan Fine Art (who hosts the opening reception for "Color Play" from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.), Hatbox Theatre (who hosts a performance lab and show later that night, The Truth Will Spring Yuh), the New Hampshire Historical Society (who hosts guided tours from 2 to 5 p.m.), the Concord Chorale (who sings Brahms' Requiem at 7 p.m.), and others.
Clarke said the Cap Center is offering tours and helped hire Squonk Opera to perform "Cycle Sonic" on the Statehouse plaza (which is basically a concert played on stages powered by bicycles in the street). Later that night, it produces a comedy show featuring Juston McKinney.
Some organizations were already planning concerts or art receptions that day. Others messed with their calendars in order to participate, like the Concord Community Music School, which celebrates Capital Arts Fest with a performathon and instrument petting zoo.
"We scheduled our performance to coincide with it on purpose because it seemed so appropriate. Being a community music school, we're so integrated with the community, it's hard to imagine not being part of this festival, which I hope continues from year to year," said Kathryn Southworth, dean of students and faculty at the Concord Community Music School; she estimated that, of the 1,000-plus students, 100 are performing.
It's not the kind of festival where streets are lined with booths, Clarke said; the goal is for people to walk the new sidewalks, and to see local shops, shows and concerts.

Hey we're well aware. Just a matter of time and manpower to put it all back together. Soon.

Q: How to implement void OnFragmentInteractionListener? When I launch my app I get following exception:
java.lang.RuntimeException: com.demo.mtin.mtin.MainActivity must implement OnFragmentInteractionListener
Can someone help me with this?
What code I need to add in MainActivity and where?
I have two blank fragments: PopularFragment and RatedFragment
MainActivity bellow:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity    {

private RecyclerView mRecyclerView;
private MoviesAdapter mAdapter;

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    SharedPreferences sharedPref = getBaseContext().getSharedPreferences(getString(R.string.preference_file_key), Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
    String order = sharedPref.getString("order", "popular");
    if (order.equals("popular")) {
        getPopularMovies();
    } else {
        getTopRatedMovies();
    }
    super.onResume();
}

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    // uci i postaviti order -> popular
    Log.d("NESTO", "NESTO-onCreate");
    PreferenceManager.setDefaultValues(this, R.xml.preferences, false);

}
 }
    Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
    setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) findViewById(R.id.tab_layout);
    tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Tab 1"));
    tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Tab 2"));
    tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Tab 3"));
    tabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);

    final ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
    final PageAdapter adapter = new PageAdapter
            (getSupportFragmentManager(), tabLayout.getTabCount());
    viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
    viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new TabLayout.TabLayoutOnPageChangeListener(tabLayout));
    tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
            viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
        }

        @Override
        public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onTabReselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

        }
    });
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {

    Intent intent = new Intent(this, SettingsActivity.class);
    startActivity(intent);

    int id = item.getItemId();

    if (id == R.id.action_settings) {

        return true;
    }

    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

A: This is actually a pretty straight-forward error message, go for this:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements PopularFragment.OnFragmentInteractionListener, RatedFragment.OnFragmentInteractionListener { ...

    @Override
    public void onFragmentInteraction(Uri uri) {

    }}

You must indicate that your activity implement the fragment's interface, then implement it (can be void though).
And have the following in your fragments :
public interface OnFragmentInteractionListener {
    // TODO: Update argument type and name
    void onFragmentInteraction(Uri uri);
}

AceShowbiz - Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra of "Teen Mom OG" pledged their love for each other even when they are on a break. Nearing the end of their 30 days of separation for "self-reflection," Lowell encouraged her husband with a love confession that was echoed back by Baltierra.
On Thursday, December 20, Tyler wrote a poem on Instagram that reflected his feelings. On the comment section, he received encouragement from his wife who wrote, "I love you @TylerBaltierraMTV," she wrote. "You are seriously AMAZING."
He reciprocated her feelings as he replied, "I love you too babe and regardless of what anyone says, just remember... You are BEAUTIFUL. You are STRONG. You are WORTHY. You are SAFE!"
In the said post, Tyler posted a selfie along with a poem that he wrote himself. Calling himself "pitiful," he promoted mental health and encouraged others to prioritize self-happiness in the poem. "So don't put everyone else ahead of the truth," he wrote. "That realizing the most important one is you if you ever want to win...because without a healthy you, you'll never be any help to anyone in the end."
Earlier this month, the couple decided to temporarily live apart in order to focus on their own mental health. In "Watch With Us" podcast with Us Weekly, Baltierra revealed that they checked into therapy to maintain a healthy relationship. "We say, 'Let's just do 30 days of self-reflection time. You get to focus on you, I get to focus on me. We'll continue to do couples' therapy,' " he said.
He continued, "We've got a great therapist who works really good with us, so [we're] kind of following her advice on top of the separation - just positive terminology here."
Despite temporarily living separately, Tyler revealed that he and Catelynn hung out often. "We've been letting her kind of doing whatever she feels like she needs to do," he said. "Sometimes she'll come hang out with me for a couple hours then she'll have to go home. We still eat dinner together."


Amy Winehouse has cancelled her previously-scheduled London show, which had been set to take place at the Shepherd's Bush Empire on May 31.
No reason was given for the cancellation.
The show, part of the star's label Island Records' 50th birthday celebrations, had been set to mark a comeback of sorts for the 'Rehab' singer. She made her first performance of 2009 at the St. Lucia Jazz Festival earlier this month, although the set was scuppered halfway through due to conditions at the event.
Refunds for the London show tickets will be given at the points of purchase.


Tonight, youngest son came to have dinner with us...and he really loves both chicken and mushrooms...so I made a quick and simple dinner using chicken breast cutlets, sauce and cheese. Using a meat mallet, I pounded chicken breast cutlets until they were about 1/8" thick. I cut fresh mozzarella cheese into rectangular pieces and placed it in the center of each cutlet, then sprinkled lightly with a little Italian seasoning and rolled them up tightly and placed seam side down in a casserole dish coated with a thin layer of spicy Rao's Arrabbiata sauce. Once they were all rolled and placed, I topped them with a couple cups of cooked sliced fresh mushrooms that I sauteed in a little olive oil with sea salt and black pepper. I poured the rest of the sauce over the top of the chicken bundles and mushrooms, layered it with the rest of the fresh mozzarella and some Italian 6-cheese blend and baked it covered at 375 degrees for about 35 minutes, then uncovered it and baked it an additional 10 minutes and ran it under the broiler for a couple of minutes more until the cheese was lightly browned and bubbly. I served it alongside some zucchini pasta (made with my Spirelli). It was quick, simple and delicious! I snapped a quick picture for you to see below. Enjoy!
that looks and sounds delicious! I will definitely try this one. Thank you for all of your delicious recipes. I've made so many of them, I've lost count!
Thanks, SLB! So happy you've found some recipes you like! It was just a simple and easy recipe to put together. The hands on time was minimal with most of the time involved waiting for it to bake! :-) Hope you enjoy it!
This one sounds mouthwatering!And it will give me a chance to try and make the Arrabiata sauce too, which sounds delicious. You are such in inspiration to so many people, thanks so much!!
You wrote about using a *spirelli* gadget. I am wondering if a person(moi) with very bad hands and wrists(RA) would be able to handle this tool? My right hand is almost useless now. Just thought I asked you before I purchase one.
Thank you GG, I am just dying to prepare the zucchini noodles!
Hi GG, as usual you came through for me! I am ordering the new spiral cutter and am looking forward to using it! The reviews are excellent and I spent way too much time reading them!
thank you so much for helping again. I feel guilty taking so much of your valuable time .
I must say that your website is by far the best, I did a lot of browsing, there are so many grain free sites now, but I find yours " un cluttered and easy to use!
I still do not know How you manage it all!
Had this a couple days ago and we both thought it was delicious! I used my trusty Mouli for the "pasta." Perfecto!

Q: fabric sed function not substituting string in python file I have the following function in my fabfile.py
def _update_settings(source_folder, site_name):
    settings_path = source_folder + '/superlists/settings.py'
    sed(settings_path, "DEBUG = True", "DEBUG = False")
    sed(settings_path, 'DOMAIN = "localhost"', 'DOMAIN = "%s"' % (site_name,))

After running the fabfile, with site_name set as tdd.box.tk I have the following output
DEBUG=False
DOMAIN='localhost'

Instead of
DEBUG=False
DOMAIN='tdd.box.tk'

DOMAIN doesn't change to the site_name variable passed.
I know the problem is with the string substitution path but cant figure it out

A: I was able to figure out the solution. It turns out that in my settings.py I had
DOMAIN='localhost'

instead of
DOMAIN="localhost"

The string in the sed function must match exactly with the string in the file you are trying to substitute.

The Grind By Michael Cirelli
By Michael Cirelli
Hanging Loose Press
www.hangingloosepress.com
Review by Dennis Daly
There's something about a good breakfast diner that both comforts and reassures. It begins your day with needed nutritional rituals and provides you with a hopeful context to carry out into the real, less accommodating, world. And, if you have chosen your diner well, your coffee mug will never be less than half full.
In his new book of poems, The Grind, Michael Cirelli delivers a meditative homage to family, food, and hard work in an impressive poetic format. His narratives delve deeply and emotionally into this uniquely American restaurant institution with sometimes surprising results. Most of the poems in this collection are set in or revolve around Cirelli's family's actual diner, called J.P. Spoonem's, located, and apparently still operating, in Providence Rhode Island.
In the initial poem, Dedication, the poet speaks directly to his mother with undisguised admiration. He says,
Mom, I know you want me to keep you out
of my poems, but people need to know
that you remember them by how they like
their eggs, that when I asked about the certificate
framed on the wall of our family restaurant
you told me, while refilling my coffee,
that the Mayor sent it for thirty years of doin' this.
Right at the book's get-go Cirelli establishes the work ethic that propels his family in their efforts to succeed. The poem Wedding Day describes the hours leading up to his parents' marriage ceremony,
Is open for business
Even on
His wedding day
Dad nervously
Buttered white toast
While my mom
Took the day off
To prepare her
Platinum feathered hairdo…
The poem Rivers, the masterwork of this collection, portrays the generative and connective power of the waitresses in Cirelli's family. The poet puts it thusly,
My great grandmother, my Nana, my ma:
All waitresses full of rivers. Fit a river
Into a vein, and it looks like lightning
Or a supernova. Galaxies of rivers in the blood.
When the clock strikes Open, my mother opens
Up a new river. Chit chat flows.
Where I'm from it was the rivers that turned
Everything: river to turn water
Wheel to turn gears to turn looms to make textiles.
Rivers make costume jewelry and silverware…
Many of us have experienced the phenomenon of returning as observers to a past life of intensity and lessons. The poet describes this well in Scuba Diving in the Kitchen Sink. In this section he meets the former co-worker, who he then dedicates the poem to,
…Marty's still there
Having not aged a bit, his thick
Glasses fogged from the Hobart's steam.
In front of the house, everything
Has changed. Not enough stools
To seat all the angels of Edgewood—
I reminisce with Marty about
My time in the kitchen, like
A veteran of The Battle for Blue Collar,
Like the Patron Saint of Plates.
But Marty scrubs the hyperbole spotless.
Cirelli's piece titled The Taste of Love is a wonderfully evocative love poem. The phrasing melts in your mouth. The poet says,
and her lips bent
like prawn over flame
because she may have forgotten
then remembered—and that always
opens a smile—or because
she was anticipating it,
anticipating me
being me, and she loves me being me,
or because she wants more love
and more love
and more, like the bread we ask for…
Like Joyce's Ulysses—only with food! Here's another snippet, the ending of the same poem,
And I pour the oil/drip the balsamico
And pinch the salt,
To ward off the eyes, gooey
As oysters, staring at,
Envying us—gracing our way
Through dinner:
A dinner so good
That I could die with its taste
In my mouth.
In the poem Down with the King Cirelli speaks directly to the "King of Vegetables," the eggplant. It's pretty comic and exhibits some real depth. Here's a for instance,
… I abhor the
Metaphor that exploits your name
In Sicily. I'll go with the ancient
Indian: "King of Vegetables"
Solanum melongena! Outta space!
Sometimes long and curved like
Ganesh's trunk. Sometimes fat and
Round like Ganesh's belt…
The title poem, The Grind, praises the routines of everyday work and that work's ability to keep one connected to a larger society. Someone in the Grind gets tired of it after a while. But without the Grind one's status is lost. The poet says,
…The Grind turns our feet
to ash. When Mom got in the car accident,
she couldn't work for five months.
The first week off was fine, but slowly
lonely started to buzz in her ear,
and she couldn't sleep,
like when I moved away to college,
and she couldn't eat. College was the myth
that the Desk was better than The Grind.
The myth of: so you don't have to
work like we do. Her first day back
I called her, and she told me, It's good
to get back to the Grind.
Waiting for Poems nails the poetic conundrum perfectly. Poets wait to compose, the good ones, that is. Their poems are out there but often need time. The muse commands. The poet answers. Cirelli states it like this,
… Boiled eggs are low
and underappreciated. My first book (five years),
still low art—and when I tip my pen in the direction
of my father, I realize I haven't waited long enough
to get it right. Haven't the craft yet to craft him scrupulous,
in his long white apron, behind a pot of simmering
tomatoes, waiting.
Well I think Cirelli's Dad has found his poem. And I think this delicious poetic collection will soon find its well-deserved audience.

Antisocial Network By Timothy Gager
Antisocial Network
By Timothy Gager
Redneck Press
By way of Mosherville, PA
Stabbing the front cover of a poetry chapbook with a butter knife, normally used to slather my toast with marmalade, is no way to start off the day. Later, as I sat in my well-padded reviewing room chanting ommmmmmmmmmm, ommmmmmmmmm, some anonymous soul again put this book back into my unreceptive hands and I reached for the scissors that I had hidden under the rubber mat. Another betrayal: someone had removed them.
Hours later, having, by secret techniques developed over a lifetime, reached the state of near perfect bliss, I tested myself. I took the aforementioned chapbook, turned it over to its unoffending (and blank) back cover and cracked it. I'm glad I did.
"Beep. Beep." The first poem of this book by Timothy Gager, entitled Many Different Positions, appears on page 38 and proves, dare I say it, you can't tell a book by its cover. At first glance the poem seems overly accessible, a surface piece that conjures up the image of a comical Chihuahua driving an automobile under the directions of a would-be driving instructor. Almost laugh-out-loud funny. But something isn't right here; beauty and love lurch off the road. Danger and possible death smile down on the scene. Here's how the poem ends,
Closing time comes quickly.
You bark, the dog's going to kill us,
Like going over the waterfall in a barrel,
Or trapped in a theater that's on fire.
You never looked as lovely as when
We kiss, the car lurches onto the shoulder.
Notice that the woman "barks," and blames the dog. Intriguing for a last poem, or in our case, dear reader, a first poem. I turn the page quickly to the penultimate piece, Everything's Connected. This poem exudes an interesting mixture of innocence, blueberries, and most of all eroticism. The poet does this by seemingly contrasting (lightheartedly, of course) the non-scientific Law of Attraction with its opposite, a universe of probability. Consider these lines,
All magic, illusion…
had led me to
pancakes, pie, yogurt
and last night a Blueberry ale
with fruit swirling
around like lottery balls
about to be picked
Attraction is also a theme in About Allison. The poem deals with how we perceive others and, more importantly, how we need them to live up to our perceptions. The poet's persona wants a movie star. In fact he invents the movie. That's not what he gets. The poet says,
I wanted a movie star, you wanted
to move back home where we
cannot take these walks,
and months go by
call yourself an asshole,
for being out of touch,
then say, you think
of me often.
I suspect any poet who tries to convince his audience of his cynical hard-hearted nature may in reality be an unreconstructed (albeit disappointed) romantic. Gager in his very amusing piece entitled Black Heart Candy Company makes his argument,
My next great idea
Marketed for those
Anti-valentine's day crusaders,
The true cynics who'll
Gnaw on my little hearts,
And get me rich quick…
In a very different piece called Unwelcomed Guest the poet confronts his addiction and its demons. He's not quite up for the fight but at least he now knows the score. He also will not back down and that is a good thing. The poet's persona details his revelations,
you led me to drive down
a one-way the wrong way,
I blamed the Scotch,
started earlier when
it was still dusk
but then the blackness rose
up from below, I recall
I used to imagine hell's address
was somewhere between my basement
and the center of the earth
but I know now different;
Hell is something
I've ingested…
I empathize with the image of hell geographically placed under the poet's basement. I buy the plausibility of it. I have no doubt that my hell bustles directly beneath my cellar.
A Girl In A Loft, an imagistic piece, draws a line through life and then attempts to breech that boundary with a connecting vision. One side of the line collects an eye lash, panties, an easy breeze, a young girl's cheek, and a "good morning." The other side includes a course sofa, a gritty fabric, poverty, a groan, and the phrase "shit to all that." The last sentence of the poem, "I'd like to know your name," surprises with its weight and its ability to bridge the structural gap. I really like this almost-a-painting poem.
In the poem Like Moths in the Night the poet mulls over the deaths and survivals of addicted friends. It's a serious meditation and one of the best poems in the collection. Culpability and guilt by identification enter the measures and are dealt with summarily. The poet's persona emerges ever watchful with a determination to do no harm. Here is the poem's ending,
Tonight, the outside air is cool
I feel his noose tighten
when I breathe,
and her needle
leaving a bruise
I feel his brains
blown out, like mine
splattered into the universe
for them, why not
me? I haven't the guts.
I sit on a porch on a summer night
keeping the lights off
because there is nothing at all in that.
The first poem in the book (or the last, depending on which cover you start from), Ode to Wormwood, Gager constructs as a masterwork. The lyrical tone echoes its deep and rich notes, near prophetically. The attributes of wormwood, bitterness and a concentration of real poison (think alcohol and drugs), contrast and intermix with a wonderful resiliency (think the human spirit). It is this pollution and ultimate poison that kills the addict in the ruins of his soul—a love affair of sorts. The poem begins this way,
Growing on roadsides and wasted places
the wormwood braces itself against wind,
remains strong, please, there is a fierce poison
here, the water will be polluted, the
drink held in your hand, downed fast with eyes closed,
resting on the passage in the Bible…
This is top shelf writing by a prolific and thoughtful poet. I would only humbly suggest that in the future, when he publishes his Selected Works, he takes that book's cover design in another direction.

Poet Tim Suermondt: A Headhunter on Wall Street: A Word Chaser in Somerville
Tim Suermondt is the author of two full-length collections: TRYING TO HELP THE
ELEPHANT MAN DANCE ( The Backwaters Press, 2007 ) and JUST BEAUTIFUL from
New York Quarterly Books, 2010. He has published poems in Poetry, The Georgia Review,
Blackbird, Able Muse, Prairie Schooner, PANK, Bellevue Literary Review and Stand Magazine
(U.K.) and has poems forthcoming in Gargoyle, A Narrow Fellow and DMQ Review among others. After many years in Queens and Brooklyn, he has moved to Cambridge with his wife, the poet Pui Ying Wong.
I had the pleasure to interview him on my Somerville Community Access TV show " Poet to Poet: Writer to Writer"
Interview with Doug Holder
Doug Holder: For many years you were a headhunter on Wall Street. For the last 17 you were a partner in your own firm. Basically you had to sell people…you had to have a pitch. Words were important. Did your other life as a poet help you in that regard?
Tim Suermondt: I definitely think it did. Sometimes you are groping for a word and you can throw one in much easier. This is because you are constantly dealing with words and writing.
DH: Did your years of working on Wall Street ever enter into your poetry?
TS: I wish I could say yes, but no, just on the periphery. This probably is because it was my job and I wanted to get away, do my poems, and be free. My poems are fairly grounded though. So when I am away from business I put on another hat more or less.
DH: The poet Wallace Stevens was an insurance executive. He was hesitant to tell people at work that he was a poet. He thought it might create doubt about his abilities. Was this a problem for you in your line of work?
TS: No, that wasn't a problem. I didn't feel like I had to hide it. My partner knew I was a poet.
DH: You moved from Brooklyn, N.Y. to Cambridge, Mass. with your wife. What was the impetus for this move?
TS: Well, we have lived there so long. I lived in NYC for over 30 years. We wanted to make a change. At first we thought maybe another part of NYC. But a lot of that was prohibitive. We thought of running away to Paris. But we decided on a base here. We found a nice apartment in East Cambridge and here we are. Recently we attended a Cervena Barva Press reading in the Arts Armory in Somerville. We are getting acquainted with the area.
DH: Your wife Pu Ying is an accomplished poet. Do you have a competitive relationship?
TS: You would think so. But I don't think of it as trying to outdo one another. But if Pu likes something I write I usually think: "I got something there." If she doesn't like it more often than not she is right. I would like to think I can do the same with her—but her work is so good lately that I don't have much room for commentary.
DH: How did you guys meet?
TS: We met at a master class, at Poets House in NYC at the old Spring St. location. The workshop was run by Jane Hirschfield.
DH: I read in an interview where you describe yourself as an outsider. Many poets feel this way. Why do you feel this way?
TS: I am not part of any MFA program. I more or less read a lot of poetry—I have read the poets who have stood the test of time. I thought to myself that I would love to do this. I knew what I wanted to write but I had to work my way through it all. I listened to many voices, but then I found my own. I am not going to be in a Paris Review interview, but I like what I am doing with my writing. I have a new collection out "Just Beautiful" published by the New York Quarterly Books.
DH: Compare the NYC poetry scene with that of Boston.
TS: New York is monstrous …it is so huge. Boston compared to NYC is almost a town. In Boston you feel there is an end here. NY keeps going—we haven't explored the poetry scene extensively yet—we are just getting started in Boston.
DH: You said in an interview that oddities in writing bring more clarity. Can you talk about this?
TS: I look for the quirks in a poet's works. When I come across something unusual, I think: "I've never thought of it that way." Oddities make you stop and think—they change your perspective. I like poets who have quirks. There are poets who have the blueprint down, but their work often seems a little cold or dead. I hope I have some quirks in my poetry.
DH: You wrote a poem "A Donut and the Great Beauty of the World." You use a donut—with sprinkles mind you—to examine the theme of the beauty of the moment.
TS: I think we need to appreciate the moment especially when it is going well. I understand that a lot of poetry is a bit down, and that is understandable. If you live long enough you will have enough downers. In terms of appreciating when things go well—you must realize these things won't last so appreciate it even more. There are so many tragedies—why not appreciate the good things? A lot of poets say "I don't want to talk about walking with my loved one on a beautiful summer day." They want to save the whales—they want to comment on something larger. Whatever the poet writes about is great—no subject is off limits.
A DOUGHNUT AND THE GREAT BEAUTY OF THE WORLD
I try not eating the chocolate one with sprinkles
and I don't succeed—my pledge to my diet dies,
but the taste validates my backsliding, the fine
smudge on my lips beautiful as lipstick on a woman.
Someone wrote "the great beauty of the world"—
maybe I did, I can't be sure—and I believe the words.
I remember the ugly of the past and I know the worst
of the future is already gearing up to make its visit—
I finish the doughnut, clean away the evidence
and head back to the couch to finish a book I love.

If you have ever heard scrabbling in your cabinets and discovered mice, it is a sound you never forget.
Years ago, on a trip through the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, we stayed overnight in an adorable little cabin. There was a sign there telling you to clean up after your meals and lock your food in the car trunk. Maybe I was lazy and figured I would wing it, but that night we heard that telling noise and found that we had been invaded.
Yes, we packed everything up in the middle of the night and put it where it belonged.
Many years later, we found evidence of a mouse intrusion in our home. We didn't hear the animals, but found droppings, which was worse. I no longer remember exactly how we attempted to catch the varmint, but it evaded us for so long that we took to calling it Einstein.
Eventually, we resorted to serious measures, and Einstein was no more.
Two weeks ago, we found mouse evidence again, and one afternoon I heard the dreaded scrabbling. We found the cabinet that held their preferred foods — I'll never look at a pretzel the same way again — but this time we played hardball immediately.
So far, the count is Jeselsohns 3, Mice 0 — if you don't count the pretzels.
While I do not want mice moving into the house, they are far cuter than their rodent relatives, the rats. Both mice and rats are members of the order Rodentia and family Muridae.
In fact, there is a whole group of mice known as "Fancy Mice" (subspecies Mus musculus domesticus), a domesticated version of our visitors, the house mouse (Mus musculus) that are sold as pets. This is an old tradition with the first reference to mice as pets found in a Chinese dictionary from 1100 B.C.
Considering the standard comic meme of people squealing and running from mice, there are clubs all over the world devoted to these animals. In the United States there is the American Fancy Rat & Mouse Association formed to "promote and encourage breeding and exhibition of fancy rats and mice." They even have shows several times a year in southern California where judges evaluate animals based on official standards.
Fur colors include the startling red, silver, and navy blue, as well as the standard range from white to chocolate.
• Mus musculus, the true house mouse, further subdivided into four subspecies found in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
The house mouse has a long tail and has established an unwelcome involvement with humans. This association has spread the house mouse through European travels since the 15th century to the Americas, tropical Africa and many Atlantic and Pacific islands.
Sometimes the mice can be used to follow human migrations. For example, mice on the island of Madeira are related to mice from the Danish Viking mouse population, although there is no historical or archeological record of the Vikings ever visiting Madeira.
House mice live outdoors as well as in buildings. Since outdoor conditions are harsher for animals, there are some variations in their life cycle.
The pups look fetus-like at birth. They are blind, their ears are not fully developed, and they have no fur. Ears are fully developed by the fourth day, fur is apparent by the sixth, and eyes open by the 13th.
Weaning occurs around the third week, and the animals reach sexual maturity by the sixth week for females, and eighth week for males.
Litter size averages six to eight pups, and an indoor female can have between five and ten litters a year, while outdoor mice breed only between April and September.
Domesticated mice live about two years, while wild mice average 12 to 18 months.
No column about mice would be complete without mentioning the indispensable role they play as experimental subjects in all areas of biological and medical research. They also have been bred extensively for mutations allowing exploration of many human disease syndromes.
House mice are homebodies, not usually traveling more than 50 feet from their nests. I'm hoping that the mice we caught had their nest outdoors and we find that mouse hole quickly.
Otherwise we may find ourselves hosting unwelcome company again!
