Can you say that three times fast?
The event went well, I over planned (as usual) but it went rather smoothly and it was nice to show people the house! And in my case over planning means having WAY too many leftovers... I will not, and can not complain!!!!! I love food!!
The exciting news is that there is a Neighborhood tour this weekend of house in a similar age range. We will be there to see how they got everything fixed up! I hope to take pictures too!
I do have to say, that while I may not be the best "old house" type, I do adore my home and I certainly do adore living in it. Though sometimes it is better than others.
I'm glad the party went well.

Q: How do I click the next button in pagination, where the next button doesn't have a class? I'm having some trouble with scraping all of the content off of a website using selenium web driver. The problem I'm having, is that there is no class for the next button on the pagination, here is the html for the pagination section:

                  «
                  First

                  ‹
                  Previous

                  1

                  2

                 3

         #........ same again for pages 4 and 5

                 Next
                  ›

                 Last
                  »

Here's the code I've been using to click an element with the 'pagination' class:
while True:

# get data from page here

# click next page
    try:
        element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CLASS_NAME, 'pagination')))
        element.click()
    except TimeoutException:
        # no pages left
        break

The problem I've been having with this is that it only identifies the first clickable button in the pagination, meaning that it alternates between clicking page 2 (which enables the 'First' button), then clicking the first button and switching back to page 1. Is there a way I can narrow down the clickable elements further so that it only clicks the next button?

A: Try to wait for next button:
element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, '.pagination a[rel=next]'))

The song "The Valley" is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page.
Unlike the last DARK FORTRESS album, "Eidolon", "Ylem" is not strictly a concept album; however, most songs have a common theme — invocations of the death principle from different perspectives.
"Ylem" is the term for the state of the elements before the Big Bang; in alchemy, it refers to the primordial matter from which all elements were created. The return to a state of "Ylem" automatically signifies the end of everything that exists now. There is a spark of life in every living cell, but also a seed of entropy and death. The insignificance of the feeble evolutionary detour that is man is evident, for our future is clear: we will be nothing but dust and bones on a scorched, lifeless rock waiting to be devoured by the sun. This vision is also the basis of Stephen Lenfestey's artwork for the album (Artwork here).
"Ylem" was recorded at V. Santura's (TRIPTYKON, NONEUCLID, CELTIC FROST) Woodshed Studio without any outside influences or distractions.
DARK FORTRESS will hit the road in December as part of the "Finale In Black" European tour with SATYRICON, SHINING and POSTHUM.

the plenary commission of the smart destinations network presided over by king felipe vi
Today, the Plenary Commission of the Smart Destinations Network, led by King Felipe VI, approved the incorporation of 27 new members.
These new additions take the Smart Destinations Network to 148 members, of which 89 are destinations, 24 are institutions and 35 are collaborating companies.
Over 250 attendees from 142 organisations, among them destinations, institutions and companies, participated remotely in the Plenary Commission of the Smart Destinations Network, in which the minister for Industry, Trade and Tourism, Reyes Maroto, also participated.
During the meeting, the Secretary of State for Tourism, Isabel Oliver; the Chairman of SEGITTUR, Enrique Martínez; the director-general of Red.es, David Cierco; the President of the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP), Abel Caballero; the President of the Multi-Sectoral Association of Information, Communication and Electronic Technologies Companies (AMETIC), Pedro Mier; and the Director of Industry Affairs Europe at Amadeus, Juan Jesús Garcia, together with the mayors of Alcalá de Henares, Avilés, Benidorm, Calviá, Conil, San Sebastian, Salou and the president of the Palencia local government, all participated.
The Secretary of State highlighted that "Although the sector has ground to a halt, we have been working hard to reactivate tourism, maintain our strong position as a tourist destination and provide security to the whole value chain. We are now finalising the Tourist Sector Relaunch Plan which, among other things, will reinforce the Smart Destination programme and the Smart Destinations Network, in which public-public and public-private cooperation and the exchange of information to improve competitiveness are very important."
During the Plenary Commission, the Chairman of SEGITTUR, Enrique Martínez, explained how as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, they were working to improve and adapt the Smart Destination diagnosis methodology and the recommendations in the Action Plan, aiming to incorporate issues linked to the supervening situation such as future actions in communication, marketing repositioning and support for employment.
The President of the FEMP expressed his certainty that "The Network is going to become an essential element in ensuring the Spanish tourism sector comes out of this stronger and in encouraging local Spanish companies to adopt governance models that improve quality of life for residents as well as visitors."
David Cierco explained that "At Red.es, we are working to transform our tourist destinations into Smart Destinations that are sustainable, open and dynamic, to make them attractive to tourists who are now looking for digital experiences. We have therefore launched a programme of which 25 local companies are now part, which represents a total investment of over €70 million."
"Digitalisation and sustainability will be key pillars in the relaunching of Spanish tourist destinations. The collaboration framework between Amadeus and the Smart Destinations Network aspires to simplify the digitalisation process and thus strengthen the competitiveness of destinations and the tourism sector in Spain," stated Juan Jesús García, Director of Industry Affairs Europe at Amadeus.
Pedro Mier noted that "During the current tourist crisis, the tourism sector has to reinvent itself and use the technologies provided to it by digitalisation. AMETIC is supporting the Smart Destinations Network in this venture, and together they are organising the Digital Tourist event." He stressed support for the "Integrated Sustainable Urban Development Strategy for tourism."
The new institutions joining the Network include the GySIG Association, Clúster Turisfera in Tenerife, the Consortium of the Territorial Pact for the Occupation of the Plana Baixa, the Consortium of the Ribera del Duero Wine Route, Enertic, the Santa María la Real Historic Heritage Foundation and INVAT.TUR.
The new collaborating companies joining the Network, meanwhile, are Add4u, Chatbot Chocolate, Gecorweb, Hiris Care, Ibermatica, Innovaris, Kalmas Gestión Empresarial, Lionbridge, Netboss, OptimizaData, Sien Consulting, Smart World And Things, TECHfriendly, Telefónica, Lookish, Vivential Value, Wellness Tech Group, WSP Spain, Tecnalia and Yerba Buena VR.

Reading from Two Books
Nature, Scripture, and Evolution
In the Middle Ages, philosophers and theologians described nature as a book, a coherent work in which we could glimpse the mind of God. Like scripture, the book of nature bore the divine imprint—the Imago Dei—and the two books were seen as complementary. In the centuries after the Enlightenment, there developed a sense that scientific and spiritual ways of knowing were somehow at odds, that the apparent contradictions between the two books could not be resolved, and that intellectual integrity required a person to choose. Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, published in 1859, brought the matter to a head, and remains a battleground issue for some. Estrangement between science and faith has impoverished both the church and the sciences. Today, while signs of reconciliation are plentiful, animosity often flares back to life, sparked by polemical voices on both sides. Perhaps artists have a special role in bridging the imagined divide. Like scientists, artists are at home in the realm of metaphor and image; and like scientists, they also tend to love and feel curious about the nitty-gritty, concrete stuff of the physical world. We invited a group of writers from a variety of fields, including poetry, nonfiction, dance, music, and health and environmental science, to address the connections among art, faith, and evolution—particularly the question of how artists can help shape humanity's sense of its place in God's changing universe. Their responses are collected here.
PSALM 33 FAMOUSLY ENJOINS musicians of faith to "sing a new song in his honor, play with all your skill as you acclaim him!" The Psalms, taken with the Old Testament prophets and Paul's vision in Romans of the whole creation in labor, suggest that the song of the stars combines with our well-wrought musical praise to make one great cosmic symphony. Entrusting us with the creative imaging of the ever-materializing kingdom of God, God makes us collaborators in a process that reaches far beyond the boundaries of time as we understand it.
Enter the modern natural sciences. We know that many of the founders of modern science, including those who contributed to evolutionary science, were theists. They saw the study of nature as an act of reverence—an attitude certainly still held by many scientists today. The scientist and artist each contribute to our developing construct of reality with various forms of empirical and creative imaging. Even if one views the moral imperative of the artistic call as going further than science, in that art helps us to imagine something of God's new creation, we may understand the scientist and artist as collaborators in the same project: an unfolding narrative of reality that is ultimately the theological new creation.
I see a connection, for example, between Goethe (1749–1832), the poet and naturalist, a close observer of plant life, and his contemporary Haydn (1732–1809), the masterly composer of string quartets, symphonies, masses, oratorios, and sonatas. Goethe marveled at the multiplicity and structure of plants much as Haydn did at the many directions and outcomes possible in music. The searching minds of the poet/botanist and composer took similar paths.
In The Metamorphosis of Plants, Goethe wrote:
[W]e…relate these manifestations both forward and backward. Thus we can say that a stamen is a contracted petal or, with equal justification, that a petal is a stamen in a state of expansion; that a sepal is a contracted stem leaf with a certain degree of refinement, or that a stem leaf is a sepal expanded….
One could easily employ the same terms to describe the relationships of parts to the whole in Haydn's sonatas. The botanical trope of the "dynamic leaf" and Haydn's mono-thematic sonata allegro exemplify the western yearning for a germinal principle that grows into diverse, marvelous forms.
The musical events in a Haydn sonata unfold in time in such a way that they cohere logically and create a form. This type of linear progression of thought—what musicians call "teleological" music, borrowing a term from theology and philosophy—has been at the core of historical German art music since the Enlightenment. Its most celebrated composers comprise the first Viennese school: Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven.
For a living American composer like me, the teleological idea is only one among several crosscurrents in a multicultural sea of influences. The strongest of these is cyclical time and structure in traditional African music. The explosive pace of American industrialized culture, combined with an African musical sensibility, have hardwired me with a driving sense of rhythm. Having grown up in Oklahoma, I've absorbed a sense of stasis and the eternal now from the landscape of the American plains. I love hearing the steady pulse of Steve Reich's music on long drives across the West. The open harmonies of early American folk music and the peaceful, meandering flow of melodies like "Oh Shenandoah" are in my blood. The modern American experience offers musical metaphors for time and structure that are very different from those of eighteenth-century continental Europe.
Furthermore, science has continually changed our understanding of the world we inhabit. Life, biologists tell us, has not unfolded in a coherent, linear way, and is quite unlike a Haydn sonata. The process of evolution in nature is something much messier and wilder, continually shifting, full of false starts and dead-ends. In 2015, it simply isn't possible to write the kind of music Haydn did. Contemporary composers like me embrace the creative tension between linear and non-linear forms.
Essential to how we organize reality is how we experience and measure time. Science has enlarged our notion of time, providing new metaphors for rhythm. Consequently, composers have come to imagine increments of time that are both extremely brief—REMs, nanoseconds, the nearest instances of the universe to Big Bang—and extremely long—geological time, evolutionary time, light years.
American minimalist composers have made significant experiments that offer metaphors for the rhythm of natural processes, often with musical structures that unfold incrementally, with strikingly varied results. Alvin Lucier's I Am Sitting in a Room (1969) begins by establishing a theme, in this case a short text to be read and recorded live before an audience. The recording is then played back into the room, whose inherent resonant frequencies reinforce those same frequencies in the recorded voice—the first variation. The variation is also recorded and played back, and the process is repeated until eventually the amplitudes of these frequencies are so great that they have obliterated all other recognizable sounds of speech. The final variation is an amorphous series of harmonic waves. The process mimics the processes of small changes over time in the natural world.
Lucier regards himself as a minimalist, but the neoclassical part of his imagination speaks to me most. He begins with a clear, simple premise and allows it to unfold towards its logical end without unnecessary embellishments. I Am Sitting in a Room follows the same procedure as the first movement of Mozart's Piano Sonata no. 11 in A Major, each new iteration unfolding over a fixed period of time and changing gradually from the one before. The main differences are in pace, dramatic shape, and syntax. The syntax of historical classical music is modeled on rhetoric; Lucier's is based on empiricism—both are dramatic and colorful. Lucier's gift is to know acoustics well enough that his particular poetry can speak through it, operating within a sort of acoustical playground.
A rhetorical model of composing (which goes with a teleological thought process, and works like a well-fashioned sermon, speech, essay or argument) is not the opposite of an empirical model, of which there can be many kinds, including many approaches to logic and time. It was the American innovative composers, particularly in the first half of the twentieth century, who approached sound through the lens of acoustics in order to derive new musical material. I'm thinking for example of Harry Partch's tuning system, which relied heavily on the work of the physicist Hermann von Helmholtz, or Henry Cowell's modeling of polyrhythms on harmonic wave motion. These are ideas that have been important to my work as well, especially in pieces like 9:11 Blues, Schoenberg Dreaming, and the "Gradual/Tract" of Chrysalid Requiem. These works actually follow patterns of logic and phrasing typical of rhetorical models, yet concern themselves with an empirical approach to harmony.
Most people believe, in some form or another, that we need music, if only because it makes us feel good or gives us a veneer of sophistication. But music is not important just for its emotional content, nor its usefulness in education, nor any other quantifiable benefit. Music's value is wilder, and therefore more real. Its value is prophetic in the biblical sense. We cannot control it, though we long for it. We need innovative music because it affirms our lives in the now—it tells us that our lives matter, our decisions matter. New and skillful music—the kind the psalmist tells us to make—refers not merely to the past, or to the current dominant constructs of reality, but resonates with the promise of God's life in the present and the future.
Therein lies the moral imperative to make new music. It is not merely entertainment or an intellectual dalliance, a signifier of cultural superiority. Its meaning is ultimately not fixed. Like the Tetragrammaton, the sacred name of God, it has an independent and ongoing life of its own which we must respect with vigilant openness, lest we destroy it and ourselves. Its power is not at our beck and call. At best, we can hope, wait, and strive for it, and be grateful for it.
Toby Twining is a composer whose recordings include Shaman, Chrysalid Requiem, and Eurydice. His music also appears on A Prairie Home Companion 20th Anniversary. His awards include fellowships from the Pew and Guggenheim foundations and the Foundation for Contemporary Arts.

Most of our business at KME Systems is done in SoCal and Las Vegas, but we have clients all over the world. From them, we've heard about the excuses that their former MSP or IT support guy have given when external forces prevent them from providing quick turnaround times. Most of those issues, we on the West Coast empathize with but will never "get" first-hand. When you're dealing with these disasters or situations, outside of being prepared with superior IT support in advance, there's not much you can do but laugh.
2.) I'm Not Going Out in a Lightning Storm!
I know it's real and dangerous, but we don't get it here. We could use the rain for sure, but electricity coming from the sky and destroying equipment? Nope, not here. Brownouts and skyrocketing power and gas bills? Now those we get. Not to mention earthquakes, fires, and tsunamis (yes, let's not mention those).
3.) I'm Heading for My Tornado Shelter!
Tornado watches and warnings never get sent to our phones. To think your business can be flattened while the building next store is untouched just boggles us. When we get hit with an earthquake everyone is in the same boat. But a natural disaster that picks and chooses its victims? That's not fair.
You've heard all the stories and jokes but until you are sitting on the 405S near the 10 on a Friday afternoon at 5pm you'll never understand it. Gridlock. Go two miles in an hour. What's worse is that you'll see the same congestion 12 hours later, there's just no rhyme or reason to it.
Car-B-Qs, our joke for cars on fire? They happen every day. And if we get a little rain, it's crazy to watch people driving 85 mph on the freeway, switching lanes like they are trying out for NASCAR. We measure distance for IT support in time, not miles. So when a client 60 miles away wants support, we think about how long it will take to get there depending on the time of day. "Beam me to the client, Scotty" can't be a dream forever, can it? Thankfully, we have the people to send out so you won't be left hanging.
Of course, natural disasters are serious and I hope you had a small laugh with this list. What isn't a laughing matter is planning for them. Be sure to prepare your family, take the right precautions, etc. And don't stop there, plan for your business as well. Primarily, we want you safe, but we also want there to be a business to come back to when you make it to work. Contact us at KME Systems to get IT support that keeps you safe and sound.


The Sanilac County Sheriff's Office says an 18 year old man from the Decker area is believed to have accidentally shot himself while working on a gun. Deputies responded to a 9-1-1 call in the 3000 block of Leslie Road in Evergreen Township yesterday afternoon. Authorities say an 18 year old male was building a .22-caliber gun when he accidentally discharged the firearm, striking himself in the abdomen. Two others were also working nearby and called authorities to report the incident. The subject was taken to Saginaw Covenant Hospital for treatment of injuries and his name is being withheld at this time. According to deputies, the 18 year old stated that he forgot there was a bullet in the gun when he started working on it.

Katherine Bourne as Rosalind in Shakespeare in the Bar's 'As You Like It'
State Of The Arts: You Want Some Beer With Your Bard?
by Jerome Weeks 22 Jul 2016
For two years now, a tiny Dallas theater troupe has been performing Shakespeare's plays in unusual outdoor locations. They do each show only twice, so the performances are crowded and hard to get into. Local All Things Considered host Justin Martin sat down with Art & Seek's Jerome Weeks to talk about what it's like downing some draft beer while the Bard gets performed all around you in a courtyard tucked behind a friendly saloon.
Our extended conversation:
JWJustin, I'm going to play a bit of an outdoor Shakespeare performance recorded a few months ago. It's from a speech that normally doesn't get anything like the response it gets here: "All the world's a stage [audience cheers and applauds]. And all the men and women are merely players, They have their entrances and their exits, and one man in his time plays many parts. [More cheers and applause.]"
Justin: That's from the comedy 'As You Like It,' right?
JWRight. That's the character, Jacques. It's his famous set piece, The Seven Ages of Man, when he muses on how we all grow up, grow old, grow feeble and die.
Not exactly the stuff I'd be greeting with cheers, Jerome.
JWRight. So we can draw three possible conclusions here. One, this isn't your typical outdoor Shakespeare. Two, this isn't your typical Shakespeare audience because they're applauding themselves for recognizing something pretty easy to recognize.
Or three, some of the audience members may be drunk.
Why drunk?
JWIt's a performance by the group Shakespeare in the Bar.
How much alcohol was involved with this production?
JWThis is Shakespeare. Performed. In a bar.
The basic idea may sound like a bit of populist pandering: "We're not snobby high art, we're in a bar." But for all the prestige we've heaped on Shakespeare, bars are generally where he did his plays. In that general neighborhood, at any rate. His Globe Theater was built in the middle of whorehouses and pubs and bear-baiting pens.
True, the nobility did come by – on boats from across the river – and they could pay more to sit in the safe, comfy seats in the balconies above. But much of Shakespeare's crowd – the groundlings or "penny stinkards," as they were called, the people who paid a penny to stand in the open yard right up against the stage – they'd taken the afternoon off and were in the process of getting stinking drunk before they hit the brothels.
And Shakespeare in a Bar certainly plays up that whole rousing, heckling, carnival mood as well. They have a local brass band perform beforehand – and even during the play, often punctuating scenes (or vamping while a late-arriving actor finally makes his entrance). They're the 8th Street Orkestar – a regular Balkan brass band. And it's amazing how much a live band oompah-ing away like that just signals to you, "This is going to be silly."
So you've got beer, you've got a band, you've got a liquored-up, lively crowd. But I'm wondering, how was the Shakespeare?
JWGood question. When Shakespeare in the Bar started two years ago, I was wary of it as a novelty. I mean, outdoor Shakespeare in general tends to be broad and simple. Or it tends to lean on the relaxing pleasures of just being outside on a summer night.
Like going to a rock concert outdoors. Or like going on a picnic.
JWExactly. And there is definitely some pandering to the audience with Shakespeare in the Bar, some hammy playing to the groundlings. I mean, with 'As You Like It,' for example, Jacques is a melancholy-bordering-on-cynical nobleman who makes sour comments about all the crazy lovers and country folk around him – as with the 'Seven Ages of Man' speech. But actor Marcus Stimac, whom I've enjoyed before, delivered his lines like each one was a bravura knockout punch. He played them like audience favorites, the hit tunes. He didn't sound world-weary; he was having a ball.
Even so, I hadn't counted on the real affection you feel watching actors having the time of their lives a few feet away from you. It's a re-confirmation of Margo Jones' idea – she's the Dallas pioneer who promoted in-the-round stagings. What you lose in scenery, she argued, you can gain in intimacy and audience interaction. By the end of the evening, you're, like, boozy friends with everyone in the place.
The beer helps.
What's more, Shakespeare in the Bar is only done on Mondays – because some of the actors are in regular shows the rest of the week. So these are young performers doing roles they might not get a shot at otherwise and they're doing them only once or twice. And they have deliberately rehearsed the show maybe twice.

That sounds like a recipe for disaster.
JWThere certainly are stumbles – or the occasional pause when you realize someone's forgotten something.
But amid the dropped lines and some of the rather obvious character choices, what you also get is that electric feeling of actors doing this for the love of it, actors knowing they have this one chance to go for broke, so let's take it. All that lends a real freshness here, a frisky riskiness, to coin a phrase. You want to see them succeed, but frankly, you also wouldn't mind it if they blew it completely. It's fun, either way.
I asked Katherine Bourne, one of the group's founders – along with Alia Tavakolian and Dylan Key – about this. The entire approach is hardly new. New York City has seen 'environmental' stagings of plays in bars. In Chicago, Bourne saw Backroom Shakespeare, one of the early proponents of this whole approach, and she herself was trained in an acting technique that stresses knowing your lines, knowing your character – and then kinda winging it.
"And I found that really freeing," she said, "a freedom from what I'd done before which was very, very planned, right down to the second."
So it's almost like improv Shakespeare.
JWAlmost. It has that 'anything can happen' feel. I mean, they've memorized their lines and director Dylan Key has established, 'This is where you come in and that's where you need to end up.' But little else in the scene has been mapped out. In fact, they don't even call Key a 'director'; he's the 'navigator.' So, as you might imagine in such close quarters, there's a fair amount of actors goofing with individual theatergoers or shamelessly milking a moment.
Now, it's easy to overstate the significance or success of Shakespeare in the Bar. They've certainly become critics' darlings, and their shows are definitely packed. But the group has done mostly popular comedies; even when they've done a tragedy, it's a crowd-wowser like 'Richard III' – in which, you may recall, Richard spends much of his time wisecracking directly to the audience and happily killing people. I wonder how well Shakespeare in the Bar would do with more mixed-emotion or straight-out downer plays like 'Measure for Measure' or 'Timon of Athens.'
But then, not even the Dallas Theater Center or Shakespeare Dallas has the minor bravery to risk any of those works, either. So it's unfair to hold the Bard in the Bar folks to a standard not even the big boys try to meet. But no one around here seems willing even to take a shot at 'Troilus and Cressida,' let alone 'Antony and Cleopatra,' which can be terrific when well done. With less investment at stake, Shakespeare in the Bar could be the kind of company to show up other theaters' craven choices.
In any event, these shows are also staged in the courtyards behind the Wild Detectives or 8 Bells Alehouse. And those hold 300-350 people, tops. This is not like an established theater company that needs to fill those 350 seats five nights a week for three weeks in a row, five shows a week – and then put on another, whole new show a month later. Shakespeare in the Bar does two, three shows a year – for a total of six performances. So add it all up, and this isn't a huge audience we're talking about. A single matinee at the Winspear Opera House would hold more people than Shakespeare in the Bar's entire season.
But here's the other side of that perspective: Bourne and her friends have done all this with a spirited style, some acting chops and very little else, other than some goodwill, a few loans of costumes or props from theater friends and a fair amount of social media smarts. They have no home office or theater, no sets, no costume storage, no administrative bureaucracy. Interactions with the public are done pretty much through Facebook and Twitter. There's no phone number you can call. This is absolutely bare-bones, no-frills theater.
But, I must stress again, with beer.
And so they attract a young millennial crowd that many arts groups would outright sell their marketing departments for. It is true that if you see a Shakespeare Dallas production or one of the DTC's efforts with the Bard, you'll see a fair number of twenty-somethings and thirty-somethings in the seats as well. There's that whole date-night, picnic-under-the-stars experience that Shakespeare Dallas offers, for instance. But what you'll also see in those two theaters are families: older folks and young kids.
And no one's taking their 10-year-old to Shakespeare in the Bar. And as for 80-year-olds in a bar, well, they're generally there for other reasons than theater appreciation.
JWExactly. So on average, here, you get a much more concentrated, twenty-to-thirty-something crowd out for a date and drinks and fun. It's not a huge audience but it's definitely a devoted one. So those 350 seats often have a thousand more people vying for them online the day they become available.
You can see why drinking establishments are happy to have Shakespeare in the Bar perform in their courtyards – especially on Monday nights, a bar's deadliest revenue night. It must be said, however, the brave staff of these establishments can be completely overrun, as can their supplies. My wife and I arrived 30 minutes early for 'As You Like It,' figuring, yes, it'd be crowded but we could still get a beer and a bite to eat while watching the show. We quickly discovered the place had already run out of food – utterly. And our poor, harried waitress couldn't get a beer to us until 40 minutes into the show. Our sightlines weren't great – you need to arrive hours early to get those – and I'm a crotchety enough old soul to wonder how many nights I'd be willing to sit all evening, crowded and hungry, on a hard wooden bench.
Even for high-energy, high-alcohol-content Shakespeare.
So let's admit it: For many theatergoers, there is something to be said for thoroughly professional operations at regular establishments. With real box offices and padded, reserved seats.
Nonetheless, Shakespeare in the Bar is precisely the kind of homegrown, web-smart, go-for-broke, youthful arts effort North Texas needs more of. Shakespeare in the Bar even gives most of its revenue to a charity of the actors' choice, while the company also keeps the tickets very affordable. I just about fell out of my chair when Bourne said, 'It's not a revolution if the poor can't afford it.'
This is so un-Dallas, somebody must already be figuring a way to run them all out of town.
In the long view, though, this kind of Bard-and-Grille – even when done in most American cities, not just Dallas – is most likely a short-term, just-out-of-college romp. I could be wrong, but it's unlikely it'll become significantly bigger and more established – not if it's going to retain its freewheeling spark and spirit. You start having longer runs, more performances, and you're talking about having to pay your actors, lease costumes, set up a more regularized, reliable ticketing system, maybe firm up a season schedule and, God forbid, sell subscriptions. Plus, more performances means, essentially, more familiarity with the material. The actors aren't riffing so much. Crazy spontaneity diminishes.
So as much as this Bard in the Bar project offers the communal, erratic, high-wire introductions to the plays that young people often sorely need (instead of your standard, high-school, English-class Death Grip), it may be best if it retains its brief, freewheeling nature. It reminds us, once again, yes, in the hands of motivated, talented actors, this moldy old Elizabethan stuff really is still as fresh as morning dew, still rambunctious, still fulfilling.
And then the next generation will have the happy surprise of learning that all over again for themselves.
So enjoy it now while you can.
Monday night's show is 'Romeo & Juliet,' and it's already sold out, but typical of the smarts of these folks, they keep 50 tickets ready for walk-ups starting at 5 pm. Just to keep things accessible and impulsive and fresh.
So there's still a chance.
JWYep. That's because Bourne has also figured out how this city really works.
"Dallas loves a party," she said, "and they love to be able to say, 'Oh yeah, I was there on that night. It was really hard to get in.'"

About 'Two Chord Song'
Two Chord Song is all about the beautiful madness of love. It's a colourful song with an unconventional arrangement including percussions made with a deck of cards and a CD cover, vocals cut like synth sounds and body percussion. We had a lot of fun creating all the sounds in the studio, coming up with unusual and creative ideas to make the song different and interesting - despite the fact that (as the title implies) it's only got 2 chords.
That's how the song actually started: with two chords, and a girl writing a song for a boy she'd fallen in love with. It was one of the first songs I wrote for my boyfriend whom I'm now sharing my madness with for over three years, and who's on the cover of the song with me. This makes the song a very personal and important one. And it makes me happy to see how the song grew - just like we did as a couple - from two chords to a piece with many layers. .
For me it's a public celebration of a wonderful relationship that has made me grow as a person and enriched my live throughout the last years (and hopefully many to come!). That´s what Two Chord Song is about, sharing your madness with someone without shame or fear. Dreaming together, laughing, dancing… it's about that feeling that you get when you're in love. The feeling that everything is possible!
I didn't think this would happen again
Then you showed up
I screamed that I was tired of loves little game
Until you made me shut up
Dinosaurs are birds and birds are free
Like dinosaurs but more alive we could be
In our own universe
Away from the system, invent our own religion
Divide infinity in two and it's still the same
Only you could understand
Let's create a world without sense,
for everyone but ourself
Just you and me, we could be
Watching the sunset and the stars,
building a solar park on mars
Change the world, it shouldn't hurt
I just want to be mad about you,
you could be mad about me
We could be mad together
We could play this two cord song,
'cause simple isn't always wrong
It doesn't have to be forever
We could turn the world around,
make it spin the other way
Say everything without a word to say,
in our own nonsense
We could be a mess, worry less about forever
Forbid the word never, and feel very clever,
in a perfect sentence
And I want to be crazy with you,
you could be crazy with me
We can live our dream and fight against gravity
And they, they don't have to understand,
just come and hold my hand
It's about you and me
I never thought this would happen again
But then you came around
I'm in love with your madness
I'm stunned, so this is your song

If you were injured in a store, restaurant, or some other location outside of your home, including another person's residence, you need to understand your legal rights and interests. Injuries in a property owned and controlled by someone else is governed by what legally is known as the doctrine of premises liability.
A person who controls a particular premise has a duty to keep it in reasonably safe condition for a visitor to that property. For example, the owner of a grocery store has a legal duty to keep the floor reasonably clear of hazards that can cause a customer to slip and fall. The failure to do so can result in the store owner being legally responsible for a slip and fall accident, and associated injuries. A key consideration to hold a party responsible for an accident, as well as associated injuries, is the matter of who controls the premises. In the example of the store owner, that party has control over the floor of the market. On the other hand, the landlord and owner of the building would not have legal control over the floor of a nature that would make that party responsible for a slip and fall case arising from spilled liquid on the floor. A skilled, experienced premises liability attorney understands how to analyze the facts surrounding an accident to ascertain which parties can potentially be held legally responsible for the injuries, damages, and losses you sustained.
A skilled premises liability lawyer will also fight to ensure that you obtain compensation for losses you reasonably can be expected to face in the future. For example, if you are injured in a slip and fall case in a retail store, you may require ongoing medical care and treatment into the future. You may need physical and occupational therapy. In addition, you may experience pain for an indefinite period of time. You may not be able to return to work in the immediate future. All of these represent the types of future losses for which you may be entitled to obtain compensation in your case. Depending on the circumstances surrounding your accident, you may also be entitled to what is known as punitive or exemplary damages. Punitive damages provide you not only additional compensation, but also serve as a means of punishing the party that caused your accident for particularly egregious or reckless conduct.
The first step in retaining the professional services of a premises liability attorney is scheduling what is known as an initial consultation. At an initial consultation, a premises liability lawyer provides you with an overview of your case. This includes a discussion of possible strategies that can be employed to ensure that you obtain justice and optimal compensation for your premises liability injuries. As a general rule, there is no charge for an initial consultation with premises liability attorneys. In addition, a premises liability lawyer typically utilizes what is known as a contingency fee agreement. Pursuant to this type of agreement, you pay no fee for legal representation unless and until a premises liability lawyer obtains compensation for you. Contact our office to schedule a free consultation.


Lori Cheek had never been more nervous in her life.
She walked down the low-lit, shark-lined hallway and into a stare-down with the five harshest investors in the world. Determined to take her business idea to the next level, she told them her invention would change the population.
"You're delusional. I'm out," said Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
"Quit this hobby and shoot it like a rabid dog," said billionaire investor Kevin O'Leary.
"Trust that you'll see me again," said the determined entrepreneur as she was quickly dismissed from the bright lights of the Shark Tank stage.
Lori didn't let her dream die there. While she headed home without a business deal, she was armed with a renewed commitment to building her startup.
Immediately following the airing of the show, Cheekd.com received a record-breaking 100,000 unique visitors and Lori's inbox filled with thousands of emails insisting that the "Sharks" were out of their minds. Investors made offers and Lori found the capital she needed to create the technology that now powers Cheekd.
The idea for the business came to her back in 2008 while out to dinner with an architectural colleague. He'd spotted an attractive woman at a nearby table, scrawled "Want to have dinner?" on the back of his business card, and slipped it to her as they were leaving the restaurant. While he left with a date, Lori left with an idea. For two years she brainstormed how to remove the business out of the business card and create a way for people to make modern-day connections.
Cheekd.com began as a deck of ice-breaking dating cards with a unique code that lead the recipient to the privacy-protected online dating profile of the mysterious stranger who slipped them the card. Now a mobile dating app with bluetooth technology, Cheekd sends users an immediate notification when someone within their criteria comes within a 30-foot radius of them.
Though she admits that men still dominate the entrepreneurial world, Lori acknowledges the strides women are making and the invaluable support they give to one another. "NYC's startup scene is booming and there's never been a better time to be an entrepreneur," Lori says. If you're a female in the startup world, "it's easy to stand out at events and you never have to wait in line for the restroom," she laughs.
Her strongest advice to fellow female entrepreneurs? Take the leap if you truly believe in your idea, give up your excuses and doubt, surround yourself with a trusted and talented team, bulldoze forward, and don't look back.

Northstar Funding is one of the most competitive non-prime mortgage lenders. This is especially the case for a few of their leading loan products, such as their bank statement program, jumbo loans, and co-op loans. However, they seem to offer highly competitive loan terms for all of their loan products, including conventional and FHA loan programs.
Northstar offers home loans in the following states: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Virginia, and Washington D.C.
24 Months Bank Statement Loan – Self-employed borrowers who need to use bank statements (instead of tax returns) to qualify for a mortgage should definitely consider Northstar Funding. We would rate them as 1 of the top 2 lenders (along with Citadel Servicing) for having the best bank statement loan program.
Financing for Co-Ops – There is a major shortage of mortgage lenders offering financing for co-ops. There are a handful in New York and Florida, but even those lenders have very low approval rates, and incredibly slow processing times. This is not the case with Northstar Funding. Not only do they approve a significant number of applications for a co-op loan, but there process is relatively simple and pain free.
Foreign National Mortgage – The loan terms offered on Northstar's foreign national mortgage are excellent if you only need to finance up to a 50% LTV. They only allow LTV ratios above 50% for borrowers from Australia, Canada, and the U.K. If you are a foreign national looking to purchase a home in the USA and need a higher LTV than 50%, you will want to look at other lenders who offer foreign national mortgages.
Asset Depletion Program – Do you have a lot of assets, but little-to-no income? An asset depletion program allows you to qualify for a mortgage based on your assets. Northstar offers a moderately competitive asset depletion program, but it would be worth getting 2-3 quotes for this type of loan to see who offers you the best deal.
Fannie Mae HomeReady – Northstar offers highly competitive loan terms for the HomeReady mortgage programs, and in our opinion, is one of the best lenders that provides financing for this program.
Freddie Mac Home Possible – The loan terms offered by Northstar for the Home Possible program are also highly competitive. We recommend "shopping around" with perhaps 2-3 lenders when looking at this mortgage program, and certainly suggest having Northstar be one of the lenders you get a quote from.
FHA Loans – Northstar is one of the only FHA lenders that allows credit scores as low as 500. Even though the FHA guidelines allow credit scores as low as 500, very few lenders actually allow a FICO score below 580. What is even more impressive is they allow a 500 credit score on FHA cash out refinances (all the way up to the max LTV of 85%). This is almost unheard of, and to the extent of our knowledge, they are the only FHA lender offering this.
Jumbo Loans – If you need to get a mortgage on a property above the conforming or FHA loan limits, you will need a jumbo loan. Northstar offers both jumbo mortgages and super jumbo mortgages, with loan amounts as high as $5,000,000.
In addition to the loan products listed above, Northstar also offers a variety of other mortgage programs, including reverse mortgages, piggyback loans, HELOC loans, constructions loans, and commercial property financing.
If you would like to get a quote from Northstar, you may contact them through their website at www.nshomefunding.com, or fill out this form, and we will connect you with a loan representative there.

Q: How to halt code execution while waiting for server to finish processing? I know this question has been asked a lot of time but none of the solution that I've found on Stack Overflow works. So, basically, I have a table with a button to toggle the field to "on" or "off". I do this through PUT request via jQuery .ajax() method and after a successful call, I refresh the table. However, most of the time, the table is not up-to-date until I manually refresh the table again.
So this is my javascript code:
$(document).ready(function() {
    function reloadTable(){
        $.ajax({
            url: "localhost/switch-list",
            type: "GET",
            success: function(data){
                data.forEach(function(element) {
                    /**
                    Populate table with switch data and
                    dynamically generate toggle button.
                    **/
                });
            }
        });
    }

    $(".toggle-switch-state").click(function(){

        var oldState = $(this).data('switch-state');
        var switchID = $(this).data('switch-id');

        if (oldState=="on") {
            newState = "off";
        }
        else{
            newState = "on";
        }

        $.ajax({
            url: "localhost/switch-list/"+switch_id,
            type: "PUT",
            beforeSend: function(request) {
                request.setRequestHeader("switch_state", newState);
            },
            success: function(html){
                $("#switch-list-table").html("");
                reloadTable();
            }
        });
    });
});

I said "most of the time" because sometime when the table reloads, it would show the latest value (i.e. the value after the toggle). So, I'm guessing this is some kind of "timing" issue. Which is, the javascript code does not wait for the server to finish its processing before executing the success block. This is further proven because it's working when I add a timeout on my success block:
$(".toggle-switch-state").click(function(){
    $.ajax({
        url: "localhost/switch-list/"+switch_id,
        type: "PUT",
        beforeSend: function(request) {
            request.setRequestHeader("switch_state", newState);
        },
        success: function(){
            $("#switch-list-table").html("");
            setTimeout(reloadTable, 1000);
        }
    });
});

I have tried async:false but it's not working.

Q: shell script to check if a particular URL is hung by logging into it We have certain sets of clusters URL and sometimes they go to hung state. URL will open but wont allow you to login. Only way to make sure that its in hung state is by manually logging into each URL and see which one is throwing invalid password message.
So instead of doing it manually I wanted to write a shell script for checking it and sending out the mail if its hung.
We already have a script that checks if the URL is up. It just checks the http mesaage. But i want something which can pass the login credentials and let us know if its throwing invalid username password message. Thanks a lot for your help.

A: If your login form is very simple(a post request).You can use curl to post your login form and grep the output's error message part.To see if your URL is working well with login event.

2019 Third Annual South African Golf Day
Veterans for Wildlife would like to invite you to our third annual South African Golf Day.
Pangolins are the most trafficked animal in the world with scientists estimating that over one million pangolins have been poached from the wild and illegally traded in the past decade. All eight species of Pangolin are classified by the IUCN as threatened with extinction.
An Elephant is killed every 15 minutes with around 90% of African Elephants being wiped out in the last century. Elephants are being poached at a greater rate than they are reproducing, meaning the species could be extinct in the next decade.
Today, the African Wild Dog is listed as an Endangered species as African Wild Dog population numbers have been rapidly declining, particularly in recent years. There are thought to be approximately 6 600 individuals left roaming sub-Saharan Africa today, with numbers still declining.
Veterans for Wildlife is an international charity committed to the protection of wildlife and the world's critically endangered species. By deploying highly skilled and experienced former service personnel, Veterans for Wildlife aims to play a critical role in conservation and the ongoing prevention of wildlife crime.
African Rhino
One rhino is killed every eight hours for its horn which on the black market is more expensive than gold or cocaine, gram for gram. In South Africa alone, which is home to the worlds largest population of rhino, 1054 rhino were poached in 2016.
UK Announces Ivory Ban
According to new plans announced today, the UK is seeking to impose a wholesale ban on the trade in ivory. Such action is extremely welcomed by Veterans for Wildlife, our supporters and of course the countless other individuals and entities dedicated to the protection of elephant as well as other vulnerable species.
Protect, educate, empower! The reasons to volunteer with Veterans for Wildlife are many and manifest. So why not join the team today?
If you feel you meet the veteran volunteer criteria and would like to be considered for a future volunteer position, please fill out the volunteer application form.
To be eligible for a deployable volunteer role with Veterans for Wildlife, prospective candidates need to meet certain experience as well as health and safety requirements.
Where You Can Go
With stunning scenery, friendly people, great food and wine and an abundance of wildlife South Africa is a safari-goer's paradise. However, it's the very fact that South Africa has been so successful in years gone by protecting its populations of rhinoceros (it has the largest concentration of rhinos in the world), elephants and other endangered game that makes it a target for poachers.

Public meetings tend to happen because something's gone wrong. They can be volatile and difficult to get right, as people want to know what's happening and emotions can run high.
As the facilitator, your role is to stay neutral – don't attempt to answer any questions yourself, or take on any role other than gathering and recording questions, handing them to the most suitable speaker, and keeping order. You'll have enough to do with all that without trying to deal with questions, too.
Have someone else take the minutes – you can't do both, and minutes matter.
They'll want to know who you are and what right you have to be up there, so introduce yourself first, with your name and relevant background, and how you are connected to the issue. Keep it short and simple. You may not feel confident but they need to feel confident in you, so address any issues you have with your nerves, voice and body language before the event as these first few moments will set the scene. You want to come across as credible, and your personal intro should answer questions about you, not raise them.
Next, bring in the other panellists or speakers and ask them to do the same, briefly introducing themselves, their backgrounds and roles.
Set out the aim and rules of the meeting; why everyone is there. Again, keep it short and clear.
Explain how long the room is booked for – the set end time. This will help concentrate everyone's minds.
Everyone may be in the mood for a free for all, but this has its disadvantages as it can descend into chaos and feel threatening for those being questioned.
You may like to have each speaker with questions after each one, but this can mean overrunning and later speakers don't get much time.
It can be more useful to ask for all questions at the beginning, and record them on a flip chart, without attempting to answer at this stage. Ask the audience to indicate with hands up that they wish to speak one at a time, with no shouting down, interrupting or side conversations – this may feel very schooly but it will help keep control, help you to hear what is being said, and reduce stress. Remind that if they hear their question asked, to put their hand down. No repetition. It can be helpful to have someone else pick the hands and ensure that all parts of the room get fair coverage and that no one person is heard more than others.
Don't attempt to answer any questions yourself – it's not your role.
Don't hand the questions over until this stage is finished. This will also give the speakers time to think.
There are only three reasons why people ask questions: they want more information, they want to support you or they want to challenge you. Be aware that some questions are not questions; they're statements, venting or attempts to hijack the proceedings. Remind that this meeting is about answering questions and there may be time for statements later. If there is no time for statements, invite them to Tweet or post comments on your Facebook Page.
When all questions have been asked and written on the flipchart, you may find there are too many questions for the time you have. Take a democratic vote on what will be answered there and then.
You may find questions cluster in subjects. Hand each question or cluster to the relevant speaker to handle. When they have finished, check the audience is satisfied the question has been answered. Note supplementary questions for the end if there is time – you want to cover as much ground as possible first, before drilling down into detail.
Undertake to research and find out answers to questions that could not be answered there and then, and ensure these action points are allocated and minuted.
They'll remember the first and last few moments of the event best, and that includes the impression you made. So at the end, remind everyone of the aim of the meeting and if appropriate, summarise what's happened. Thank everyone for attending and contributing and let them know contact details and where they can find any further information.
Tell them you'll take the flipchart with all the questions away after the event, and summarise them with written answers from the minutes [and later research] on the website and social media as soon as possible.

The Dowleswaram Barrage Or Dhavaleshwaram Barrage was an irrigation structure originally built in 1852 on the lower stretch of the Godavari River before it empties into the Bay of Bengal. It was rebuilt in 1970 when it was officially renamed as Sir Arthur Cotton Barrage or Godavari Barrage.

Geography

The Godavari River empties its water into the Bay of Bengal after flowing nearly fifty miles from the Dowleswaram Barrage. Rajahmundry is a city situated on the left bank of Godavari River. Upstream, where the river is divided into two streams; the Gautami to the left and the Vasistha to the right, forms the joining line between the West Godavari and the East Godavari districts. The dam alignment crosses two mid stream islands.

Original Dowleswaram Barrage

The original Dowleswaram Barrage (also spelled Dowlaisweram or Dowlaiswaram) was built by a British irrigation engineer, Sir Arthur Thomas Cotton and completed in 1850. The barrage was constructed in four sections, which allowed flood passage during the construction period. The Dowleswaram Barrage was 15 feet high and 3.5 km long.

Cotton's many projects averted famines and stimulated the economy of southern India. Before this barrage was constructed many hectares of land has been flooded with water and was unused. The water would be worthlessly going into sea. But when Sir Arthur Thomas Cotton had built the barrage those unused lands were brought into cultivation and the water was stored and used. The Cotton Museum was constructed on behalf of Cotton's memory. It is a tourist attraction in  Rajahmundry.

Modern Sir Arthur Cotton Barrage / Godavari Barrage

In 1970, the barrage was heightened to 10.6 m. The reservoir has 3.12 Tmcft gross storage capacity and dead storage of 2.02 Tmcft at  MSL.

Inadequate water inflows
During the rabi season of 2022–23, adequate water is not supplied to the canals due to a lack of sufficient water inflows into the reservoir as sufficient water had not been stored earlier in the
upstream Polavaram reservoir. The natural flows normally available during the dry season in the Godavari River are being stored in Medigadda and Sammakka Sagar reservoirs which used to be available for use in Godavari Delta. To build up the water level/storage in the Polavaram reservoir to enable adequate water release downstream, water is released from the Donkarayi reservoir directly without using it for power generation in the lower Sileru power station. At least 60 tmcft water storage is needed in the Polavaram reservoir or up to the safe level limit of the upper coffer dam of the Polavaram Project to supply water to the total cropped area during the rabi season.

I am amazed PETA sent this auto response made from paper. Paper that came from trees that had to be cut down, probably orphaning a family of baby birds when their mother was hit by a falling tree. And what about the poor tree, does it not have feelings? I can't use the fur of helpless animals to cover up with, but you can use proud trees to draw on?
Either way, I am sure future rejection is in order when you dump red paint all over me when I walk out of my house.
You forgot to mention the harsh conditions the tree faces in the slaughter houses...err sawmill.

La monogénesis y la poligénesis lingüísticas son dos hipótesis alternativas sobre el origen filogenético de las lenguas humanas. De acuerdo con la monogénesis el lenguaje humano surgió una sola vez en una única comunidad, y todas las lenguas actuales proceden de la primera lengua primigenia. De acuerdo con la segunda las lenguas humanas pudieron nacer en varias comunidades independientemente, y las lenguas actuales procederían de diferentes fuentes.

Monogénesis
La monogénesis indica un origen único de las lenguas del mundo, todas las lenguas actuales se habrían formado mediante el cambio lingüístico a partir de una primera que se fue diferenciando en lenguas ininteligibles. El primer científico serio en publicarla fue el lingüista italiano Alfredo Trombetti, en el libro L'Unità d'origine del linguaggio, publicado en 1905.
Más modernamente Greenberg y Ruhlen, partidarios de la monogénesis, sostienen que en las lenguas modernas existen suficientes evidencias para reconstruir parte de la lengua originaria o protomundo o protosapiens. Sin embargo, esta afirmación ha sido muy controvertida y las reconstrucciones practicadas por Ruhlen son frecuentemente descalificadas.

La hipótesis monogenética siempre ha encontrado mucha discusión y realmente existe poca evidencia lingüística sólida en su favor. Uno de los principales argumentos para sostenerla procede de la genética de poblaciones, ya que hay fuertes indicios que sustentan la hipótesis de que la especie humana habría surgido a partir de un reducido grupo humano en África, que presumiblemente habría compartido una lengua, denominada por algunos idioma protosapiens. Sin embargo, el surgimiento de la especie humana no está relacionado por ninguna prueba o teoría sólida con el origen de la lengua y, en este caso, tampoco con el surgimiento de una única lengua original.
Se dice que hubo cambios por causa cultural, religiosa, etc.

Poligénesis
La poligénesis indica el origen múltiple. Según esta hipótesis, hubo brotes lingüísticos independientes en cada lugar donde se iban estableciendo humanos sin tener previamente ningún habla. Indica que de África salió el ser humano sin idioma y después de establecerse en Oriente Medio, Europa, Asia y América, fueron surgiendo allí los distintos grupos lingüísticos actuales y extintos.
La investigación moderna sobre lenguas criollas ha mostrado que a partir de un input lingüístico adecuado o pidgin, en una generación los niños desarrollan una lengua con gramática perfectamente estable y definida. Las lenguas criollas son precisamente las lenguas históricamente surgidas de pidgins. Otro ejemplo notable es idioma de señas de Nicaragua que fue creado inconscientemente a partir de señas aisladas que no formaban un conjunto de reglas estables, y por tanto no constituían una lengua auténtica.

Return to New York? Yankees considering Omar Minaya for front office position
By D.J. ShortOct 13, 2014, 11:01 PM EDT
Former Mets general manager Omar Minaya could be headed back to New York, this time with the Yankees. You heard that right.
Erik Boland of New York Newsday reports that Minaya is getting "strong consideration for a high-ranking position" with the Yankees. It's not clear what role he would fill, but Boland notes that VP of baseball operations Mark Newman recently retired while longtime Yankee scout Gordon Blakeley left for a job with the Braves.
Minaya has been a senior vice president with the Padres since December 2011 and previously served as general manager of the Mets from 2005-2010. His last run in New York ended in disappointing and embarrassing fashion, but he boasts over 25 years of experience in MLB and has a good relationship with Yankees general manager Brian Cashman.

From Mulberry Bags To Kawaii Cakes, Iris Law Shows Us Around Her Tokyo
By Naomi Pike 4 September 2019
Let the British model be your guide
Iris Law spent much of her summer exploring Tokyo. From the minute she arrived to the bittersweet moment her return flight – having been rescheduled to give her a few more days – finally took off, Iris was continuously inspired by its smorgasboard of colour, quirkiness and creative cuisine.
"The first thing that I thought was how amazing the taxis are in Tokyo," she told Miss Vogue. "They're so beautiful. My boyfriend and I are already trying to figure out if you can get them shipped to be your car in London. They're crazy and they have the bright writing and the light on top, with the flower lace on the chairs and then the electric doors. Oh my god, they're amazing. So that was the first thing I noticed when I arrived. And also how polite everyone is."
One of the most striking things about arriving in Tokyo, especially for English-speaking tourists who are conditioned to expect signs in their language, is the sense of unfamiliarity. If you want to force yourself to explore a city by instinct, then go with the Japanese capital.

"The first time I started being like 'Wow, okay, this is a bit confusing', when I started going on the subway," Iris explained of her own experience, and then you add in the on-average 80 per cent humidity that swells around the summer months. Admittedly, Citymapper helped her and her friends out – along with friendly locals. "One thing that I've really picked up on is the people here, even if they don't speak any English, they really want to try and help you understand," Iris added. "I've been able to get a lot of information out of people that basically speak no English just from them actually putting in effort and power to actually try."

The thing that initially had Iris touching down in Tokyo was a Mulberry event celebrating the launch of the Iris bag, for which the British heritage brand set up a traditional English pub. Her namesake bag coincidentally proved to be the perfect companion for city exploring, especially with so much shopping and snacking to be .
"My orange Iris bag has been perfect because I want to be dressed in colour, because I'm in Japan and - it goes with a lot of things. Well, also, I've been shopping so much, so I've just been able to put so much in it… like a million sweets."
When Iris was en route to Japan, she reached out to her 191k followers to ask about where to go in the city. "When I'm going travelling somewhere, I put it on my story and I get the most amazing recommendations. For Japan, [my followers] have been sending me really amazing lists and really specific tips that are so useful. I've put everything in my notes by area so I can get every single thing done, even if I'm so full from the last meal, I still want to try donuts from somewhere else. Meals are always my favourite part of the holiday."
Neon packaged sweets and the yummiest matcha KitKats aside, it is the food you can't really bring back with you. So, for Iris, what will she take from her time in Tokyo?
"Something that I already have tried to involve in my life a lot but that is really prominent here is the ritualistic side of simple things, like the tea ceremony, or like the way you display food. Everything is very thought out in the way that you can make everyday life really beautiful. Everything in life doesn't have to just be just done, here they really do it properly."

I had asparagus tempura at a lunch at Kanetanaka with Mulberry's Johnny Coca. Everything was traditionally laid out, and afterwards I went to a traditional tea ceremony.
On Takeshita Street in Harajuku I bought gifts for everyone back home. All these crazy sweets were priced like normal corner shop sweets.
I ordered this Hello Kitty cake at the Kawai Monster Cafe.
This was so funny to see on my first day in Japan, and a good way to summarise the craziness of Tokyo. These noodle decorations were for show just outside the changing room of a vintage shop.
These are my new favourite Tokyo sunglasses from Don Quijote and a wine cup at the famous Robot Restaurant.
The colours on the streets and the pastel pallets of Tokyo make just walking around so pretty.
There is milk ice cream on every street. It is my dream!
Kawaii. Fashion inspiration.
I got amazing detailed Mulberry tree nails with gems by Hana4 for the party.

Career Notes: Wilson, 24, got a taste of pro hockey last season as he joined the Toledo Walleye for their playoff run. A native of Calgary, Alberta, the 6-foot-3, 190-pound blueliner appeared in 10 games for Toledo after his collegiate career. He collected four assists and also skated in 10 playoff games. Prior to turning pro, Wilson played four years at RPI (NCAA). He was the team's captain during his senior campaign. Wilson tallied 52 points (27g, 25a) in 151 games.


Flowing through the town centre of Fernie, the Elk River begs to be explored.
Take a canoe, kayak, or Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP) to enjoy the water - hire gear is available from providers in town.
If you're of the angling type bring your fly rod as well (and a license to fish). Local fly fishing companies know the river best and offer guided tours throughout the spring, summer and fall season on the most pristine waters in North America. Float trips are also available from local providers, allowing you to relax and take in the scenery whilst they handle the organisation, navigation, and even lunch.
If you're planning on taking a self-guided tour on the water, always remember to check the conditions on the day. 'Elk Valley Whitewater' Facebook page.
Lake Koocanusa: This is a local hot spot for camping, water skiing, tubing, and overall great beach time! This lake is over 100km long and crosses into the U.S. Lake Koocanusa has numerous beaches and campsites from which to launch watercraft; campgrounds and resorts include Newgate Sandy Shores Resort, Koocanusa Lake Campground and Resort, Oestrich RV Ranch, and Kikomun Creek Provincial Park. This is a great option for a summer day paddle and picnic! Located 30-45 minutes outside of Fernie.
Surveyors Lake: Adjacent to Lake Koocanusa, part of Kikomun Creek Provincial Park, is Surveyors lake. This is a smaller lake with two main beach sites; Surveyors Lake is a great place for families with kids to enjoy the water. If you're lucky you may be able to see turtles, crawfish, and many different types of water-fowl.
Baynes Lake: Again, adjacent to Lake Koocanusa is Baynes Lake, about 30 minutes from Fernie. This small lake features excellent fishing and wildlife sighting opportunities. Baynes Lake is best suited for canoes and SUP boarding. Baynes Lake is part of a small rural community; be sure to take part in their local Farmer's Market on the weekends! This is a great area for beginners and fishing enthusiasts.
Island Lake: Located 35 minutes away from Fernie, this beautiful lake is overlooked by the Lizard Range mountains. You can hire canoes at the lodge, or use your own, though be mindful that there is no road leading to the lake, so you will need to carry it down from the parking area.The restaurant deck is the perfect spot to enjoy drinks or a meal whilst watching the sunset when you come off the water.
Maiden Lake: With easy access from the highway, and nearly parking, Maiden Lake is convenient to reach on foot and by car, not to mention a beautiful spot with the iconic Three Sisters backdrop. There is a small beach area perfect for a picnic, and catching minnow off the jetty is popular with younger children.
Hosmer to Fernie (I-II): This scenic section of river has great views of Mt. Hosmer and Mt. Fernie. Starting at the Hosmer Bridge and taking out at the first bridge entering Fernie, this section of the river is typically a meandering float with some sections of swift water where the river changes course. There are often logjams and sweepers, so paddlers and floaters should still use caution. At high water levels tubing is discouraged and paddlers should be experienced and well prepared.
Fernie to Morrissey (I-II): More great views of the Lizard Range and country hill sides can be expected for this section of river. Paddlers and floaters can put in at either of the Fernie bridges, or the Fernie boat launch. The takeout is at the Morrissey bridges. This is a longer float; depending on river levels and watercraft can take anywhere from 3-5 hours. Alternatively, there are other take-out option off of Highway 3 just past the ski hill turn off or at Stanford Inn for a short 'after work' trip. This is a wonderful section of river to fish and float.
See the Guide/Rental/Retail section for more details on guided trips for SUPing, rafting, and fishing.
