Portland Timbers sealed their place in the MLS Cup Final in dramatic fashion a few days ago, beating Sporting KC 3-2 with a goal in the ninth minute of stoppage time to send them through.
It's the club's second time in the Final, after lifting the cup in 2015 when they secured victory over Columbus Crew.
This time they'll face a strong Atlanta United outfit who have made the final in only their second season in the MLS. The Georgia team have been strong all year scoring 70 goals with Josef Martinez bagging 34 of those.
Atlanta are clear favourites with the bookmakers currently and it's a game where there will be plenty of goals.
Atlanta current 1-4 favourites with bookmaker Betfred to earn their first trophy, ahead of the Portland Timbers who they'll take on who are priced at a generous 11/4 with the same bookie.
Gerard Martino's men are netting two a game on average, finishing second in the Eastern Conference, so the Over/Under market is certainly one tipsters are suggesting to maximise your winnings.
The bookies aren't giving Portland much hope, but the club will certainly take the underdog tag.
The Superdome has sold out for the final, in which 70,000 will make their way to New Orleans. It's all set to be a landmark for the league and both will be desperate to come out on top.
The two sides have met just twice before, with both games finishing 1-1, so it's a game that's finely poised.
Portland will be hoping captain Diego Valeri can pull out another leaders performance, following his brace in the Semi-Final. He made a real difference in the game alongside fellow countryman Sebastian Blanco, who has also become a key man for the club.
The former scored the MLS Cup's fastest ever goal three years ago, finding the net after just 27 seconds and they'll be hoping they get off to just of a good start.
Atlanta will be one of the fastest teams to win the trophy since their introduction to the league if they win and would provide the city with only its second major sports title.
There's a lot on the line for United who have broken record after record, and it would be a huge marker for the league who are trying to showcase its quality in front of its biggest ever audience.
The Timbers have been there and done that before though which could well be the biggest factor in December 9th's matchup. The likes of Liam Ridgewell and Valeri are big presences and leaders through the middle of the park and will be doing their best to ensure Martinez stays quiet throughout the fixture.
It's going to be the biggest MLS Cup in history when the Timbers step out onto the pitch in New Orleans. Seal their second victory in five years and they could place the franchise among the most recognisable US soccer team on the planet.
Should Atlanta win and it'll be almost like a changing of the guard, particularly after their Semi Final win over the NY Red Bulls, which will buoy the likes of Los Angeles FC, FC Cincinnati and Inter Miami who are at the very beginnings of their MLS quests.

Q: How to repeat a HTTP GET request I'm building a simple app that checks repeatedly changed made in certain file in a server.
I'm using HttpURLConnection instance like so:
HttpURLConnection httpURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection) new URL("https://www.aSite/alerts.json").openConnection();

try (InputStream inputStream = httpURLConnection.getInputStream())
{
    ...
}

I want to use this one connection to receive a response, but there is not a built in method for repeating the request.
I fear that if I use the code block in a loop it will create new connection every time.
Is there a simple solution to this?

A: It's better to write an api at server side to push the file change notification into reddis queue and try to get those notification from your client app.
I hope this link will work for you.

And if you wanna handle at client side only then you can use spring webclient along with spring scheduler and implement it in asynchronous manner.

Friday's meeting with Dr. Berggren brought the eight of us together to hear about our goals in Ethiopia from a physician's perspective. She explained the history of the Ethiopia Outreach program--an endeavor begun by medical students. Dr. Berggren had accompanied UTHSCSA's Ethiopia Outreach team in 2008 and was able to provide us with insight from past trips. She emphasized three goals for our team as part of community service learning: preparation, mentorship, and reflection. Before we leave for Ethiopia, it is important for us to be well educated in the diseases afflicting the area as well as prepared to enter into another culture. Mentorship from Dr. Berggren, Dr. Usatine, and each other will allow us to learn from one another's experiences and hopefully improve methods of treatment. She also suggested that we keep track of a journal to record medical cases and personal/social observations which we will eventually present to our peers in order to gain feedback. Reflection is often the most significant part of community service learning since it is what leaves an impact on how we as medical students view global health.

Q: Mapping data frames with different dimensions in R I have two data frames.
The first one has a single column and 1000 rows. The values included this data frame belong to the interval (0,1].
The second data frame has 3 columns, and 5 number of rows of the following form:
From  To      Category
0.0   0.2        1
0.2   0.4        2
0.4   0.6        3
0.6   0.8        4
0.8   1.0        5

I am trying to assign/map the Category values to the values of the first data frame through the following R code:
for (i in (1:nrow(DataFrame1))){
  for (j in (1:(nrow(DataFrame2)))){
    if ( (DataFrame1$V1[i]>DataFrame2$From[j]) & (DataFrame1$V1[i]<=DataFrame2$To[j]) ){
      Result[i]<-DataFrame2$Category[j]
    }
  }
}

This code works correctly although for more number of rows it takes a lot of time. Is there a shortcut for this method?

A: The findInterval function does this job nicely.
set.seed(1)
df1 <- data.frame(val = runif(10))
df1$Category <- findInterval(df1$val, vec = c(0,0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8), left.open = TRUE)
df1

#           val Category
# 1  0.26550866        2
# 2  0.37212390        2

Digital hub creates 'mosaic' of possibilities
Monday 12th August, 2019: A new £1.8m co-working space will give digital businesses a place to develop, collaborate and innovate in the heart of Lincoln city centre.
Called Mosaic, the digital hub will be in Thomas Parker House on Silver Street. The ground and first floor of the building are currently being extensively refurbished and will open to new businesses in October 2019.
School management information system (MIS) provider ScholarPack has already been signed up as the flagship tenant. The firm will relocate to bespoke office space in Mosaic later this month.
The project has been developed collaboratively by the digital community in Lincoln, working together with Lincolnshire Co-op and Lincolnshire County Council.
There will be different levels of occupancy on offer and flexible terms for digital businesses. Facilities will include high-speed internet, hot desks, meeting rooms, breakout areas, booths for phone calls and a selection of private offices for hire.
These will be complemented by a lounge featuring a quality coffee offer subsidised for tenants, a programme of regular events and the support of building hosts to keep the facility running smoothly.
Lincolnshire Co-operative's Chief Executive Officer Ursula Lidbetter said: "More tech and digital businesses are coming to Lincolnshire and the county's traditional sectors, such as manufacturing, agriculture, food production and defence are investing heavily in digitalisation.
"We want to work together with the digital community and the county council to support this emerging sector, helping businesses and the local economy grow."
ScholarPack is a pioneering tech company, already making a big impact in education with the introduction of its cloud-based system for schools eight-years ago. It's now part of a nationwide schools resource provider, The Key.
The team at ScholarPack have worked to become the fastest growing cloud-based MIS provider on the market, and as such, offers potential candidates exciting, viable tech and developer career opportunities in the North of England.
ScholarPack's CEO Rich Harley said Mosaic is an exciting project to be part of.
"With the tech skills gap still apparent, technology companies with a presence in more varied areas of England, and in particular the North, are crucial for encouraging more people, regardless of location, into tech careers," he said.
"It can be difficult to find developers in Lincoln so we're proud to be part of an ecosystem which will help keep technical people in the city. We think it's important to show that there are not only jobs here, but also the networking opportunities and modern facilities that employees are looking for.
"This move marks a stage of growth for ScholarPack, while keeping us within Lincoln's flourishing digital community," he added. "It's also great to be based in the city centre with all the benefits that provides."

The Society provides valued services and supports the local economy from outlets across its trading area including food stores, filling stations, post offices, travel branches, funeral homes, coffee shops, a florist, a crematorium and community libraries. It also cares for people's health and wellbeing through its pharmacies and support for a network of health walks. Local good causes benefit through its Community Champions scheme and together, colleagues and members also look after the local environment through volunteering.
As well as its trading outlets, Lincolnshire Co-op owns properties from flats and houses to commercial premises. The Society brings land and buildings back into use to create attractive environments. With Lincolnshire Co-op as landlord, rents stay local and are invested in schemes that benefit the community.
ScholarPack is The Key's cloud-based management information system (MIS) for primary schools in England. Fixing hundreds of little pain points that make reporting a chore with legacy systems, ScholarPack was designed with school staff in mind. Using the latest technologies, ScholarPack's intuitive system has the power to significantly reduce admin time and allow any member of staff to produce insight rich reports in just 3 clicks. ScholarPack is the fastest growing cloud-based MIS on the market, with more headteachers choosing to switch to us in the last year than any other provider.

Australia is a very large country and driving distances can be long. Don't spend all day driving just to keep to an unrealistic itinerary. You will see and enjoy it more with a relaxed schedule. Either plan to travel a shorter distance or allow more time. There may be many local attractions that you will miss if traveling to a tight schedule.
Campervan and motor home rental offices in Australia regularly get people, particularly from overseas, wanting to do long hires in a short time. Often a rental supply company will impose a minimum hire period on certain hires. For example a hire from Perth to Sydney may require a minimum hire period of 21 days.
Some itineraries that travelers plan to do would require them to travel 600 or more kilometers per day, every day; sometimes for weeks. They may cover a lot of territory but it is not exactly a relaxing holiday and they would certainly be missing out on a lot of local attractions.
Almost all campervans and motor homes for hire have unlimited kilometers included in the rate. Other than minimum hire periods being imposed there is nothing actually preventing someone from undertaking an unrealistic itinerary if they chose to.
The first step in trying to work out how much time to allow is to establish the minimum distance of your trip; such as the basic distance between cities. If you were intending traveling from Cairns to Melbourne for example, this would be about 3000 kilometers in a direct route.
This direct route is not allowing for any sight seeing along the way. The Australian coastline abounds in delightful coastal towns and beaches that the main roads bypass. There are many amazing places inland along this route that would be essential to visit such as the Blue Mountains to the west of Sydney.
There may be many places that you would want to spend a whole day or longer, exploring or just relaxing and taking a break from driving. There are many scenic routes signposted that pass through areas bypassed by highways. Research your itinerary; the web contains a wealth of information about places to see.
In the example above of Cairns to Melbourne, most campervans and motorhomes would be permitted to do this in 7 days. This would require traveling about 430 kilometers each and every day. Even if you averaged 80 kilometers per hour for the entire journey (this would be hard to achieve) you would be driving for more than 5 hours every day without allowing for any additional site seeing.
Allowing about 200 kilometers per day at the most is much more realistic. This would be 15 days for Cairns to Melbourne without any stopovers. Allow a day for a stop-over after several days traveling. If there was an attractive seaside town that was 15 minutes off the main road then you would have time to visit it.
Remember; you are on holiday and you want to enjoy it! Driving all day is very hard work - driving all day for days on end is even harder work. So get more 'holiday' into your campervan hire and less 'work'. If you don't have the time to see it all you can always come back next year.

Oil Patch Activity Is Starting to Slow
This article first appeared online at TheNewAmerican.com on Friday, January 9, 2015:
In a letter to his union workers at U.S. Steel's pipe and tube plant in Lorain, Ohio, Tom McDermott, president of United Steelworkers local 1104, was blunt:
The company has suddenly lost a great deal of business because of the recent downturn in the oil industry. What appeared just a few short weeks ago as being a productive year … has most abruptly turned sour.
So sour that U.S. Steel is idling 614 or its 700 workers in Lorain, along with all 142 of its workers in its Houston, Texas plant.
This is likely to be just the beginning. Even as U.S. Steel poured hundreds of millions into its gamble that producing "oil country tubular goods," or OCTG, would reverse years of losses, other steel makers have done the same: France's Vallourec SA built a $650-million mill in Youngstown, Ohio, that produces 500,000 tons of pipe and tubing for the oil patch every year. Nucor Corporation, Steel Dynamics, ArcelorMittal, and AK Steel Holding have also invested heavily in plants from Ohio to Texas, hoping to participate in the oil industry's boom.
U.S. Steel's CEO Mario Longhi told analysts back in October, when oil was at $80 a barrel, that the decline was coming:
The recent turmoil in the crude oil markets could have an impact on the level of drilling activity as we move into the new year….
We are at a transitional moment that is going to take a little bit of time for people to sort out exactly where this is going to go.
Now Longhi knows, and the future isn't pretty. U.S. Steel stopped all production at its plants in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, and Bellville, Texas. Spending on oil exploration and production is expected to decline by at least 20 percent in 2015, with some large producers such as Oasis Petroleum cutting their capital expenditures in half. Rig counts are already falling with some estimating a third of them will be idled by the summer.
The ripple effect of the shuttering of the steel plant in Lorain will also shut down Republic Steel's raw steel plant that is its primary supplier.
That same ripple effect is already impacting workers. Bernard Weinstein, a professor at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, said that 25 percent of all the oil and gas workers in Texas may lose their jobs before oil prices rebound. But that's just the beginning:
The oil and gas industry out there in the field maybe employs … 400,000 people. But there are 9 million people nationwide whose livelihoods depend on … what happens in the oil and gas industry.
Anyone who is indirectly tied into the energy business could eventually feel the effects of the slowdown. Laurie Larrea, head of Workforce Solutions in Dallas, explained:
Anyone that's in the supply chain, anyone who's a vendor that primarily dedicated to the oil and gas industry … they may see an effect.
It's also going to affect local housing markets, car dealers, and those who sell Harley Davidson motorcycles. Don Tettaton is a 48-year-old crane operator at Republic Steel whose brother works for U.S. Steel. He has lived through past booms and busts and gave some advice to newcomers who haven't:
With overtime, guys have been making over a hundred thousand [dollars a year]….
I tell them not to go out and get a new house, a Harley and a $600 car payment. There has never been a steel industry without boom and bust.
It's already impacting the value of mineral rights. Last summer Rick Lucente, a steelworker at Republic Steel, was offered $180,000 for mineral rights on property he owns in Harrison County, Ohio. Thinking the boom would continue uninterrupted, he turned it down. In December, he changed his mind and accepted a new offer at $132,000.
And Lorain's $30-million budget is likely to suffer at least a 10-percent haircut. U.S. Steel paid the city $1.8 million in taxes last year. And the ripple effect is likely to reduce its revenues further.
The last time an oil boom turned into a bust was in the early '80s when a similar decline in demand, coupled with huge and increasing supply, pushed prices down from $35 a barrel to below $10. Using an inflation calculator, the last glut might portend just how far crude oil prices could fall. Adjusted for inflation, crude fell from $100 in 1980 to below $22 a barrel six years later.
It was at least another 15 years before the fracking boom rescued the oil patch and resurrected it.
Energy Fracking Housing Market impact Jobs Oil Industry Oil Prices ripple effect Texas

Beastly Bones
A Jackaby Novel
By William Ritter
Grade range
Some girls work in shops or sell flowers. Some girls find husbands and play house. I assist a mad detective in investigating unexplained phenomena. My name is Abigail Rook, and this is what I do.
In 1892, New Fiddleham, New England, things are never quite what they seem, especially when Abigail Rook and her eccentric employer, R. F. Jackaby, are called upon to investigate the supernatural. First vicious shape-shifters disguise themselves as a litter of kittens, and a day later, their owner is found murdered. Then in nearby Gad's Valley, bones from a recent dig mysteriously go missing, and an unidentifiable beast starts attacking animals and people, leaving mangled bodies behind. Charlie calls on Abigail for help, and soon Abigail and Jackaby are on the hunt--for a thief, a monster, and a murderer.
A 2016 YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults Title
"In this sequel to Jackaby (Algonquin, 2014), Ritter seamlessly presents enough backstory for newcomers to thoroughly enjoy this hybrid of historical fiction and fantasy . . . On a scale of 'one to pomegranate,' this volume is undoubtedly a pomegranate; it offers humor, adventure, mystery, gore, and romance all rolled into one well-written package. The best news? There is more to come, as Ritter sets up Jackaby and Rook's next case regarding the ephemeral Jenny, murdered many years ago." —School Library Journal, starred review
"Recommend this to readers who enjoy Doctor Who, Supernatural, Grimm, Dresden Files, Harry Potter, and, of course, Sherlock Holmes stories, and who are ready to stay up into the wee hours reading." —VOYA, starred review
"[A] fast-paced sequel to Jackaby . . . As bones go missing--and then small livestock--methodical investigation and scientific experimentation yield to madcap chases, slapstick humor, and romance. Ritter's blends--fantasy and mystery, action and tension, oddball detective and able sidekick--employ but exceed their stock elements. With one case closed but two unsolved, the well-matched, well-written duo will undoubtedly return to fight a more fearsome foe. A witty and weird adventure equal parts Sherlock and Three Stooges." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"The fun continues in this Holmsien follow-up to Jackaby. . . Fans of the first novel will be pleased with this entertaining sequel, rich in intrigue and imagination." —Booklist
"Jackaby's sense of humor, ever droll and capricious, shines once again in this sequel. The storytelling is just as solid and absorbing, too, even with quite the crowd—shape-shifters, rival paleontologists, an avid hunter, a livestock-pillaging predator, an intrepid journalist—and there's a bit of romance as well." –The Horn Book
"Critics laud William Ritter's Jackaby series as perfect for fans of Sherlock, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, and Supernatural – and while that's a tall order for any book, I'm happy to report that Jackaby and its sequel, Beastly Bones, more than fit the bill! Utterly charming."—Mugglenet
"Jackaby — aptly described as a mix between Sherlock and the Doctor — is in fine form with this sequel, which picks up nicely following the events of the first book. Fans will eagerly dive into his latest adventure with his assistant Abigail, as they find themselves on another mysterious and possibly magical case. The tone and atmosphere of Ritter's novels are immersive and delightful." —Novel Novice
"Jackaby was one of my stand out reads last year and when I found out there would be a series I was so excited…If you're looking for a fun read, filled with quirky characters and lots of the paranormal, you definitely need to be reading these books. Ritter tells an amazingly unique story full of action and mystery." —Fiction Fare
"I really enjoyed the plot of Beastly Bones. It was definitely fast-paced and so fun! The mysteries themselves weren't that easy to solve, and I liked that even when I thought I had everything figured out, there was another twist. I really loved the characters as well. Jackaby is still the right mix of the Tenth Doctor and Sherlock and Abigail is spunky and interesting in her own right. She doesn't stand at the sidelines nor does she attempt to follow the stereotypical expectations that others expect of her." —Read.Sleep.Repeat.
"Beastly Bones will make you smile. I found myself grinning ridiculously in public at the bits of humor in Beastly Bones. It's subtle, but very effective in breaking the serious moments. You find the humor in Jackaby's mannerisms, his interactions, and what he says (he made a rolling-your-eyes type of pun that had me snickering despite myself). It makes everything so much delightful, and I cannot stress how wonderfully timed they were." —The Novel Hermit

TOKYO, Japan | SOLAR FRONTIER —
Solar Frontier's subsidiary, Solar Frontier Europe, has entered into a definitive agreement with New Energy for the World (NEW) to develop and sell up to 100 MW of CIS solar power plants in the UK. Solar Frontier is the world's largest provider of CIS thin-film solar energy solutions and NEW is an EPC specializing in development of renewable energy projects.
The agreement marks the continued global expansion of Solar Frontier's partnership approach in the large project segment.
Atsuhiko Hirano, CEO of Solar Frontier, said, "Solar Frontier is going global as part of our long-term growth strategy and the UK is a key market for us. We already have a strong standing in the residential, commercial and utility segments in Europe, and are now proud to introduce new and broader market solutions also in the UK. We look forward, together with our partner New Energy for the World, to develop, build, and commission turnkey CIS solar power solutions in the UK with the same level of commitment and service that differentiates Solar Frontier in Japan, a market recognized for demanding the highest quality in solar solutions."
Construction of the first project of the 100 MW pipeline is slated to begin in the third quarter of 2015. Land and grid connection have already been secured, and first talks are now underway with investors regarding the sale of the first designated solar power plants. Projects will be closely based on the successful implementation approach of a previous 7.15 MW project by Solar Frontier and NEW in Banwell.
Wolfgang Lange, Managing Director of Solar Frontier Europe, said, "Solar Frontier and New Energy for the World have worked closely together on similar projects. The Banwell project, which commenced operations in 2015, serves as a frontrunner for future projects – it demonstrates the performance advantages of CIS especially in UK weather conditions, the benefit of optimizing system components to leverage the advantages of CIS, and the importance of an experienced development team."
Jochen Kleimaier, Shareholder and General Manager of NEW, added, "Our past projects with Solar Frontier attest to the quality and performance of CIS solar power plants in the UK, and our future projects with Solar Frontier demonstrate our confidence of our solutions. We look forward to working with Solar Frontier again as we strive to meet the demand for high quality, high-performance, low-risk solar energy in the UK to meet the demand of institutional investors."
For the 7.15 MW CIS solar power plant in Banwell, Solar Frontier provided its CIS modules and optimized system components, Habdank was partner as general contractor for substructure and mounting and NEW provided EPC services.

DISTORTION RETROSPECTIVE SERIES OUT NOW ON DEMON
Photo credit: Blake Little
Today, legendary musician Bob Mould announces rescheduled dates for his upcoming Solo Electric 2022 UK and Ireland tour, which now begin on June 9th at Brighton's Concorde 2. The tour, originally scheduled for Jan/Feb 2022, has had to be temporarily postponed due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
In a new statement to fans, Mould writes:
"Greetings from California.
"As I mentioned last fall, I'm always concerned about the safety of my audience as well as venue workers. In early December 2021, I realised it would be difficult for me — even with three vaccinations on my dance card — to stay Covid-free for the entirety of the January/February 2022 IE/UK Solo Electric tour.
"Today, I'm happy to announce those shows have been rescheduled. Full dates are listed below. All tickets remain valid. Refunds can be available at your point of purchase.
"Apologies in advance for any inconveniences. Lots of moving parts had to be re-positioned before announcing these new dates. With that being said, I'm hopeful for a better 2022, I'm anxious to get back to work, and I'm very excited to see you all this June!"
As Mould notes above, tickets previously purchased for the original shows remain valid across the board but for those unable to attend the rescheduled shows in June and July, refunds are available at their point of purchase. Please see further below for a full updated itinerary.
The shows – which include a new London date at Islington Assembly Hall on June 16th – will find Mould performing solo versions of music from across his iconic, 40+ year career, including songs from the lauded Distortion retrospective collection, from his landmark band Hüsker Dü and from 2020's explosive and critically acclaimed Blue Hearts album. As Mould previously noted: "I'm looking forward to the upcoming Solo Electric shows in the UK and Ireland. I'm excited to be performing songs from 2020's Blue Hearts, as well as revisiting the prior 40 years of my songbook."
Blue Hearts is available now on LP, CD and digitally via Merge Records. The 24CD Distortion: 1989-2019, 8LP Distortion: 1989-1995, 9LP Distortion: 1996-2007, 7LP Distortion 2008-2019, 8LPDistortion: Live boxsets and Distortion: The Best of 1989-2019 2LP, 2CD and 4CD compilations are all available now on Demon Music Group.

Q: Maps, Facebook, Email, Youtube Errors in Android Eclipse Simulator I am getting the errors within the simulator (1.6 version) when I click and try and access the information.
I have created a screen capture of all the errors in the simulator.

I looked into some of the coding and a lot of the features say:
//showLocationMap
public void showLocationMap(){

It looks like a lot of the features say void. Maybe that is the issue? So how do I change that so that the feature is allowed?

A: You must download and install the gapps and arm translation in your simulator or try to download and install the gennymotion for android simulators and install the gapps in your simulator. see the link

Jay's Catering is a family-owned, full-service wedding caterer based in Garden Grove, California. For over 50 years, Jay's has served countless wedding couples award-winning, handcrafted cuisine with exceptional service at affordable prices. Founded in 1967, Jay's Catering is one of the largest and most established catering and special event companies in Southern California, partnering with some of California's most elite, unique and exclusive venues. Their new venue concierge service will help you find the perfect venue for your wedding, whether that be a grand ballroom, romantic garden or lavish estate.
Key services include a comprehensive culinary crew, Jay's event rentals, full bar services, pickup and delivery, a bakery, event specialists and event design and layout. Jay's Catering offers elaborate menus using fresh ingredients and made-from-scratch recipes. Their food is a fusion of world cuisines that rival the finest restaurants.
Armand Jay Mastroianni ("Jay") created his catering enterprise from a love of food, family and fun. He started as a milkman and moved on to owning 37 catering trucks that served Greater Orange County. His family of five have spent the last 50 years carrying on his vision of providing fresh, great-tasting food at reasonable prices.
My husband and I were married in May 2014, and Jay's catered our wedding. We were beyond happy with the food and service.
We worked with Emily for over a year leading up to the big day, and she was ALWAYS on top of everything. We went through several revisions of the menu and our guest count fluctuated considerably, but Emily was able to keep everything organized perfectly. She responded promptly to my (numerous) emails and I never had an issue getting ahold of her by phone. Scheduling our tasting and our final details meeting was a breeze, and Emily always came prepared.
The day of our wedding, guests went on and on about the fantastic food. And so much of it, too! Everything that was supposed to be hot was hot, and everything that was supposed to be cold was cold. The bartenders were great -- they mixed awesome drinks quickly and kept the line at the bar short. The event captain and staff were on top of their game too and everyone was well taken care of.
Food and drinks were an important part of our wedding and Jay's more than exceeded our expectations!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! I'm so pleased that Emily helped to make you and your husband's special day all the better. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
We had an amazing time working with Brittany at Jay's Catering. She worked with us on what would fit into our budget, and what we wanted. Everyone loved the food and they packed up the leftovers for us to take home. I would recommend Jay's to anyone, they have so many options to choose from.
Jay's Catering was a great match for our wedding! I was worried about booking my wedding at the Estate on Second because I only had one choice in vendor, but it turns out that the vendor was perfect! Jay's was professional, served high quality food, and were VERY accommodating to my guests. All of our guests commented on the food positively, especially the tacos and small dessert options! Thanks Jay's!
What can't we say about Jay's Catering? Amazingly professional staff with a creative menu and innovative presentation that will leave you and your guests wanting more. Whether you're entertaining an intimate group or a large party, Jay's has what it takes to help make your event a success.
Jay's has been a favorite of ours for many years now and is the FIRST place we offer to our clients for all their Catering needs. I am so confident in everything they offer that I used them for my own daughters Wedding. And they operate some of the best Venues in Southern Orange County! Oh and super yummy food displayed beautifully and served professionally.
Jay's Catering by far is one of the best caterers in Southern California! They have outstanding service and their food is simply amazing. I have worked with Jay's many times with my clients and they are always impressed with the impeccable service and quality Jay's Catering provides.

Renowned for "immaculately prepared and impressively detailed vocal performances", in the past decade Halcyon has commissioned and premiered over twenty new vocal chamber works, a significant contribution to the chamber music catalogue. Our recent focus has been to record these wonderful and diverse pieces for commercial distribution - we want to get this music out into the world!
We'll be releasing new recordings in 'waves', so watch out for more to come.
Waves I is Halcyon's first release of studio recordings and features two Australian works - Elliott Gyger's Petit Testament (2008) for soprano, mezzo and piano and Andrew Ford's Willow Songs (2009) for soprano, mezzo, flute/piccolo/alto flute, clarinet/bass clarinet, percussion and piano.
Recorded at Trackdown Scoring Stage Sydney September 2009 & May 2011.
Engineered, mixed and mastered by Daniel Brown.
I discovered Anne Stevenson's poetry only when her collection Poems 1955–2005 came out. There were quite a few that I felt might sound well sung. 'Willow Song', in particular, seemed to be there on the page just waiting for its tune. Of the other poems that struck me, several were about women at different points in their lives. I decided to make a group of these to form the main body of the work, before finishing with 'Willow Song' itself. The obvious strategy was to begin with the poem about the 12- year-old girl and then arrange the others in ascending order of age. But I thought this might be too obvious (and anyway I'd done precisely that in my song cycle Learning to Howl). So I reversed the order and opted to begin with the wildness and energy of the 'cold woman' in her 'cold sea'. Adding the little 'Epigraph' was an afterthought, though it comes first.
Other Halcyon studio recordings can be found on the following albums: Cool Black: The Chamber Music of Rosalind Page (all Halcyon), Sunburnt Aftertones by Katy Abbott (featuring No Ordinary Traveller by Halcyon) and A Vision of Wildflowers: The Music of Ruth Lee Martin (featuring Wimmera Song Cycle by Halcyon).


Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu appeared in this world in 1486, in Mayapur, West Bengal, India. Srila Rupa Goswami has glorified Lord Chaitanya as being the most munificent Lord, because He freely distributed life's most precious gift — pure love of Godhead. He is praised as being the most merciful Lord because He distributes His mercy without discrimination to all, without any consideration of whether one is qualified or not.Although He is the Supreme Lord, Krishna, He posed as a devotee, and revealed the most sublime sentiments and the natural disposition of a devotee.

Animals: Invasion of Lionfish
Roomba of the Sea - "The Guardian"
Submersible Robot armed with lights, cameras and vacuum to gather up lionfish
One of the most significant problems facing any ecosystem and the conservationists who work therein is the problem of non-native, invasive species. Goats nearly destroyed the Galapagos Islands; feral cats and foxes are devastating the rich diversity of marsupial species in Australia; and large species of Asian python are too much to bear for many creatures in the Everglades of Florida USA.
The same is true for the lionfish that grow to about 17 inches within the reefs of the western Atlantic Ocean. Stephen Gittings, a coral reef ecologist for the National Marine Sanctuary System reports that: "They can eat fish up to half their body size and a single lionfish can eat dozens of fish in a day. Since no native species prey on lionfish, so not losing very many of them over the course of time so they just dominate and take over."
Red Lionfish
This species has red and maroon stripes over its white body. Its natural habitat consists of the coral reef regions of the Indian and Pacific oceans. Recently they are now found off the east coast of Florida in the United States. In 2010 Puerto Rico lionfish sightings were seldom, but the voracious fish are now a pretty common sight even in just 6-8 feet of water. People need to be aware of these dangerous fish and there is a call to 'cull the herd.' They are capable of delivering a painful puncture wound.
A new method to rid the seas of the lionfish is
THE GUARDIAN VACUUM
Like the Roomba Vacuum, "The Guardian" is also a vacuum cleaner—only instead of dust and cat hair, it vacuums up the stunned lionfish into an onboard water tank that can hold up to 20 fish. Once full, the Guardian can return to the surface with its catch. Adam Cantor, director of engineering at Robots Service of Environment [RSE], explains that while many coastal communities in the United States host spearfishing competitions to see who can bag the most lionfish, it's not enough to prevent the effects of the invasive species on nearby reefs because they breed at a depth of 200-400 feet, which is far past the diving range of humans.

Hopefully we`ll see you Tuesday. I also wanted to thank everyone for their work on the off-ice work and appreciate your patience with all the reminders, login issues and questions and comments throughout the season.
I wanted to surprise Ray (he`s not included in this email) with a gift. I`ve known Ray for about 12 years most of which through officiating. I think it`s time he can get a token of our appreciation. I know how much he likes sailboating and so I found a marina in Laval (http://www.entrepotmarine.com/nosmagasins.aspx) in which I can get a gift certificate. I figure we can get about a $100 gift certificate. If we can get more, then great. This means about a $5 - $10 donation whatever you feel comfortable with. Less is fine, more is great too. I will go to the marina and get the certificate on Monday so that we can present it to him on Tuesday.
Can you just let me know by email how much you plan on contributing so that I can get the appropriate amount. I will assume I will see you on Tuesday night or you will make arrangements so that night I will receive the $ discretely. Please do not mention this to Ray as it is supposed to be a surprise.

In an effort to be transparent and make sure no fraudulent or corrupt events occur, 1-2 days after the dinner on Tuesday, I will send a copy of those who donated with the amount and total amount received. I think Ray will be very pleased and can serve a token of our appreciation of all the stuff that he is dealing with.
Comments, suggestions are welcome. Just please keep in mind that we don`t have much time to play with. Like I said, I would like to finalize the amount by Monday April 23 by 12 (noon). Please either reply with the amount of donation or send a friendly amount online. Thanks for your reply.


I had passed that way many times before. The building was just off Park Street, a beautiful, colonial edifice of at least five floors. The British might have left murder and mayhem behind them as their plans for Partition went into bloody effect, but they also left Calcutta with some spectacular buildings. And hers was one of them.
I had never seen her before, nor heard of her. They say she kept a low profile as most people would in her condition. It wasn't until my friend Milli invited me home after school to hear Elvis Presley's latest, that I became aware she even existed.
From the moment I entered the building there was whispering. With its five spacious, high-ceiling floors, it housed five families, one on each. Some were likely related as was the case with many Bengali apartment buildings where extended families lived together, yet separately. Milli didn't seem to notice but I, a sensitive child, was acutely aware of the stares and chitter chatter that even the servants were party to.
I assumed the gossip had to do with my mother who people often talked about. My mum, Alice, had been well-known and well-regarded in Calcutta since she moved there from England in 1940. She was an accomplished cellist and played often at the opulent New Empire Theater, both solo and with the symphony. She also played on the radio once a week and was a familiar name because of it. Her story was well-known: that she'd been a child prodigy, mastering the cello by the age of six and performing it, and ballet, for the British king and queen on a regular basis. It was also known that she'd been offered a contract by MGM to move to Hollywood to become a child (silent movie) star, but her Uncle Arthur said no member of their family would partake in such rubbish, and ripped up her contract. And it was known that she'd attended the Royal Academy of Music as their youngest student and had a promising music career in Europe ahead of her until she married an Indian man and World War II struck almost simultaneously, so they decided to move to India until its conclusion.
So I figured that's why they were whispering, telling each other, "That's Alice Chowdhry's daughter!" But that wasn't why at all. They were whispering because of the woman on the top floor.
It was during my third or fourth visit to Milli's when I noticed that along with the whispers, the residents peered nervously upwards, towards the top floor.
"Milli, who lives up there?" I eventually asked.
Consumed with singing along to Love Me Tender, and studying her performance in the mirror, Milli ignored me. When I asked again she lowered the volume on her record player with a huff and answered with a sigh.
Jail House Rock had just started so when I asked how it was burned, when it was burned, how bad it was, all I got was a shrug and a hip gyration.
When I got home that night, my mum, dad and younger brother, Nikhil, were sitting down for dinner. My other brothers weren't there, they were away at boarding school, which, being the bothers they were, I was grateful for. Mum's favorite, Shepherd's Pie, was on the table but it wasn't my favorite so I slipped into the kitchen to see if the servants had any leftovers of their food as I often did when it was "English" night. Fortunately they had plenty of hot, spicy fish curry and pakoras and piled my plate full. When it came to food my Indian side pushed through the strongest, with the exception of chocolate digestive biscuits, England's greatest gift to humankind.
Once mum was over the fact that I wasn't eating the "delicious, spectacular" Shepherd's Pie, I just came right out with it.
Both mum and dad became uneasy, fidgety. Usually they were fast with answers, but not this time.
"Well? Do you?" I pressed on.
"Not exactly," my dad, Sudip, said, focused on picking peas out of his pie, not his favourite food either.
"Darling, did you finish the invitations for the Christmas party?" mum suddenly asked me, knowing full well that I had last week. Naturally, their refusal to discuss the matter only piqued my interest in it, exponentially.
The next day at school, I invited myself to Milli's house, promising to actually participate in her lip syncing and choreographies this time. But I lied, as soon as we got there and she was changing out of her school uniform, I slipped away.
Checking no one was around, I quietly maneuvered up the regal, spiral staircase. Winded by the third floor, I recovered my breath before proceeding up the final two. The whole fifth floor was quiet as I tiptoed towards the balcony and spotted the silhouette of a woman in a sari, doing what looked like crochet. As I got closer it became clear that this was Savita. Though her sari veiled her face, I could still see the cooked, pink skin of her neck and it startled me.
I jumped with fright and turned towards the barking to discover an arched, ancient woman wobbling towards me at full speed. As I booked for the stairs I felt her cold, frail hand clasp my wrist. She looked at me, stared, just as the residents and servants had done downstairs.
As she released my wrist, I charged for the stairs and ran down them as fast as I could.
I couldn't sleep that night nor the nights that followed, wondering who this troubled Savita was and what she had to do with me or my family. Again, I asked my parents, again they changed the subject.
When mum's sister, Auntie Clara, came to visit a few weeks later I knew she'd be the one to tell me what she knew, if anything. Clara was a bitter woman with a mean streak who loved to speak badly about people whenever she had the chance. Mum always justified Auntie's odd behaviors and bad manners by saying life hadn't been fair to her, that she'd had more than her share of hits and dealt with them by being mean to others. This I knew well as I was one of her victims.
When I was five she locked me in a closet full of spiders after I dropped a saucepan that didn't even break. When I was ten and all dressed up for my birthday party having doted on my appearance for hours, she told me I still looked like the backside of a bus.
I didn't know what mum meant when she said Auntie had experienced "more than her fair share of hits," all I knew was that I hated her. But at that moment I was willing to put my loathing aside as I knew, if it meant spilling gossip and misery, Auntie would be the best source of intel about my family's connection to Savita.
But of course, Auntie being Auntie, she wasn't about to tell me what she knew, what I so desperately longed to know about Savita, the woman of the top floor, without a price. Auntie grinned villainously as she sprawled out on her wicker chair, looking as inelegant as a woman could in a sari. Her red, bushy hair and ever redder, freckly skin not favoring the hot pink, poker dot sari she wore as well as a baboon might if it chose to wrap its bulbous self in silky fabric.
"Why are you so interested in her, child?" Auntie asked in her superior, high-pitched English voice which was worse than any nail down any chalk board.
Truth be told, I didn't have a ready answer to Auntie's question. Why am I so interested? I pondered. It's not due to boredom as my life on bustling Park Street in the center of cosmopolitan Calcutta was far from dull. I suppose it's simply because it's a secret. One that involves me, one that involves my family – a family brimming with mysteries that no one volunteered to explain. Extracting the history of my parents, and their parents, was akin to using a fork to fight off a Bengal tiger, though as the years went on and the stories behind the tight lips gradually emerged, I realized why.
"Because I think she has something to do with me?" I finally replied.
Auntie started to cackle, throwing her head back in as patronizing a way as she could muster, her yellow, cigarette-stained teeth vibrating with repulsive satisfaction.
I churned with hatred, longed to spit at her, but knew if I wanted answers, and didn't want a spanking, or to be locked in a closet, I must control the urge. So I just stared at her, revealing nothing.
"Please tell me, Auntie! What?" Though my head told me to conceal my enthusiasm, as I neared closer to the truth, my curiosity got the better of me.
"Please tell me, Auntie. Tell me please!" she mocked, offensively. I held my tongue so tight it was sure to bleed. I thought there must be a God, or many as my Hindu half subscribes, who chose not to grant this woman children. Being her niece was vile enough.
What?! I thought, not hiding my shock as my jaw fell open and Auntie lapped up my blindsided response.
"I don't have a sister!" I exclaimed, clenching and unclenching my little fists, barely able to handle the possibility of such a revelation.
"Oh YES you do," she whispered, peering around to make sure no one was listening to her particular brand of child abuse.
"Then where is she?!" I demanded, no longer able to conceal a thing.
"She's … in America." she revealed, eyes illuminated, lapping up her tiny slice of power.
"With granny and Janine?" I prodded, as the only people I knew who lived in America were my Grandma Edith and her daughter, Janine, who was pursuing a career in show business. Or, more accurately, Grandma Edith was pursuing it for her whether Janine wanted one or not.
"Exactly. But didn't you want to know about Savita?
It was actually many cups of tea later and many unpleasant favors before Auntie led me towards the story of Savita, then eventually, of my sister, a disclosure that changed my life and my relationship with my mother, forever.
The first favor I did for Auntie was to spy on her boyfriend Graham, a renowned British engineer who helped design Calcutta's famous Howrah Bridge that spans the Hooghly River. Auntie was clearly embarrassed, and redder than usual, as she revealed to me that Graham never let her sleep at his house, just visit between the hours of 7-9pm, then he'd send her on her way, returning to us out of breath, sweaty, and extra disgusting. I always assumed Graham's lift must be broken so she'd have to walk up many flights of stairs at his home, hence her exhaustion. I'm glad I didn't know the truth or she might have irreversibly scarred my young self more than she already did.
Auntie's suggestion for the task was that I sneak out of the house and spy on Graham after 9pm. When I commented that that might be dangerous for a girl child to do at night, her compromise was that I leave early for school and spy on him in the morning hours instead.
Which I did and discovered that a pretty and doughy Indian lady with very red lipstick often exited his home around 7am. This news caused Auntie great distress as I discovered when I caught her weeping by the roses one afternoon. Though it seems she never said anything about my discovery as she continued to visit Graham during her appointed hours for months and years to come, returning just as sweaty as before.
The other favor I was forced to perform was accompanying Auntie to the New Market on Lindsay Street to haggle for her in Bengali with the vendors who didn't speak English. This proved worse than my early morning spy work, as I discovered that Auntie was worse behaved in public than in private where she lapped up the shocked stares of the locals, which she translated as jealousy of her Englishness, but I assessed as disgust.
When, after all Auntie put me through, I did finally learn the truth about Savita, the woman of the top floor, I quickly came to regret my interest and it forced me to control my curiosities, even repress them, from that day on.
During a Sunday dinner, the English sort with roast beef, roast potatoes, and Yorkshire pudding, all of which my father and I could only consume with the aid of many green chilies, and just as the servants were preparing to bring out a fruit crumble with fresh cream, Auntie came straight out and said it.
As my mixed-blood, olive skin turned pink and my parents' eyes turned to me with a look I'd seen many times before as I pushed beyond the boundaries of appropriate, I shrunk into my chair.
My mother quickly changed the subject towards the uncooked-ness of the crumble, and again, I was left without answers. However, after dinner as everyone moved towards their separate rooms, my father took me aside and led me towards the veranda to tell me the story. The very sad story of the woman of the top floor.
My father explained in his usual calm manner that before he journeyed to England to study, he was engaged to be married. He was engaged to a woman, chosen by his parents, who he'd never met. The reason they'd had him engaged, just as many Indian parents had done with their sons, was so they wouldn't meet and marry English ladies while there. Since many of these lads were well-to-do they were often the targets of lower class English families who saw them as golden geese, despite being Indian which so many Brits looked down on.
But my father didn't do as he was told once he met my mother.
He had become acquainted with Auntie Clara and my mum through their mother, Edith. Edith was quite the woman for her time. A progressive divorcee with a knack for real estate, Edith frequented what were called internationalist meetings. These were events where intellectual Brits discussed world events, particularly colonization and the future of the British empire, which many felt should release their hold on foreign lands. It so happened that my father and a few of his Indian law school friends were invited to one of these events. And it was there that they met Edith who invited them all to the courthouse for the weekend.
By courthouse I don't mean law court rather, the royal kind. The grandiose house where granny lived had once been Queen Elizabeth I's hunting lodge before being sold off. On the weekends Edith would throw grand parties there, inviting guests for the entire weekend. They'd amuse themselves by playing dress up, feasting on elaborate dinners and of course, hunting. My mother wasn't at these first weekends that my father attended, she was touring Europe with an orchestra. However, Clara was there and took a strong liking to my dad.
A few days before my mother was scheduled to return home she learned of the Indian visitors who'd become a weekend fixture. She wasn't impressed and told her mom to "get the Indians out" before she came home. But Edith would have no such thing.
When mum returned and entered the courthouse with a servant lugging her cello behind her, my dad was walking down the grand staircase with her favorite cocker spaniel in his arms. As her sister and mother stood back, awaiting her rage, Alice stared at my father and his handsome, kind face. As she told me later, when she looked at him that first time she didn't see his colour, instead, she fell instantly in love. Hearing this was the first time I recall feeling sympathy for Auntie. Mummy had the talent she never had, and now she had the man.
But it turns out it wasn't just Auntie who came to suffer from this unlikely attraction that a few years later, after much resistance from my father's Indian family, became a marriage. Savita suffered also, though a whole lot more.
My father sat back in his rocking chair looking more fragile than I'd ever seen him as he revealed to me that Savita was the woman he was engaged to marry before he left for England. When my father met my mother and called off the wedding, under the rigid constraints of Indian tradition at the time, Savita was essentially ruined. She was considered a rejected woman who could never marry and though she'd received a decent education, it wasn't accepted for her to work and pursue a career, so as a young woman of nineteen, she had little to live for. And she felt it.
So Savita set herself on fire.

[Exclusive] BoA still sizzles after 15 years
Being in the music industry for 15 years where the industry is full of new singers springing up like mushrooms after the rain is not an easy feat. Kwon Boa, or better known as BoA (acronym for Beat of Angels), was discovered at the mere age of 11, and debuted in the music industry at age 13. 15 years on, she still rule the music industry as the Queen of Korean Pop. Thanks to SM Entertainment once again, we were given the chance to chat with BoA on her new album, Kiss My Lips.
Celebrating her 15th year of being in the music industry, one would wonder the motivation it takes for BoA to stay on and to keep following her dreams. There are a lot of people who have great expectation in me, so my motivation is very much driven on that – says BoA. With great power comes great responsibility, and BoA has shown determination and skills from a young age and blossomed into the great performer that we know now.
BoA recently released her 8th Korean-language studio album titled Kiss My Lips. BoA self-produced the album which took a year for the singer to write the tracks and to prepare for the album. It contains twelve tracks of diverse genres including the pre-released track Who Are You, and the title track Kiss My Lips, which shared the name of the album. Kiss My Lips is a pop song which incorporates the synthesizer riffs in the music and emphasizes BoA's vocals. Rather a playful number, the song encourages the love interest to stop hesitating and just approach her.
Having written and composed the album, BoA believes that first hand experiences are the best in writing a song. She writes from the heart and uses her experiences in life and stories from the people around her which reflects on peoples daily lives too. With positive comments from the fans, further motivates the multi award winning performer. For the album, BoA penned 20 songs and only the best made the cut.
According to BoA, 15 years seems like a long time, but she believe that there is still a lot of time for her to seek for new experiences and to show the fans a new side of herself, and a great time to start a new life. Here's to another 15 years of achievement!

My first night out with the club. The Beach Boys tribute band couldn't make it so we were treated to "Tess and the Durburvilles" who played a bit of something for everyone. Good music, sausage and chips,dancing and good company. A really nice evening. Looking forward to the next one.


Anne Hathaway Courted by Hugh Jackman for "Les Miserables"
Hugh Jackman wants to do "Les Miz" so badly that he's pushed back "Wolverine 2" to do it, and now he's trying to get Anne Hathaway to join him.
Hathaway is being sought to take the role of Fantine in director Tom Hooper's "Les Miserables," accoridng to Broadway World. The idea seems to have been born of Hathaway's serenading of Jackman with a riff on the show's hit song, "On My Own" during this year's Oscar show.
Jackman is already on board to play the hero, Jean Valjean, and Russell Crowe is slated to play Inspector Javert, the cop who hounds the bread thief across the years.
As to Fantine, she was joy itself. Her splendid teeth had evidently been endowed by God with one function - that of laughing. Her thick blond tresses, inclined to wave, and easily escaping from their confinement, obligated her to fasten them continually. Her rosy lips babbled with enchantment. The corners of her mouth, turned up voluptuously, seemed to encourage audacity; but her long, shadowy eyelashes were cast discreetly down towards the lower part of her face as if to check its festive tendencies. Her whole toilette was indescribably harmonious and enchanting. Fantine was beautiful, without being too conscious of it. She possessed two types of beauty - style and rhythm. Style is the force of the ideal, rhythm is its movement.
With a little peroxide we can definitely see Hathaway fitting the bill, and she's got the pipes, though we had no idea teeth could laugh. As we discussed last week, it's been a long time since Hathaway had a major in a film that succeeded commercially or critically, and we're not sure this project would help her break out of her rut.
A rare macaw named Blu (voiced by Jesse Eisenberg) is brought from his home in Minnesota down to Brazil to mate with Jewel (Anne Hathaway), who instead has designs on escaping from her cage. Opens April 15.
Also, we're not sure the world needs yet another adaptation of this story.

James Whitcomb Riley House
528 Lockerbie Street
Written by Julie Greiner
The once home of the renowned Hoosier poet, James Whitcomb Riley is now a shrine operated by Riley Old Home Association open to visitors from throughout the world. James Whitcomb Riley was born in a log cabin on October 7, 1849 in the little village of Greenfield, in the lap of Indiana's farmland. Riley's father was a frontier lawyer and politician who named his second son after an Indiana governor,
James Whitcomb. His mother wrote poetry as well as baked in a hearth oven and raised children. Riley grew up among these simple living, kindly people.
Victorian Living
Riley's best poems were of such Hoosier characters as "The Raggedy Man" and "Little Orphan Annie". President Woodrow Wilson sent a note of sorrow to Riley's family upon his death which expressed the feeling of the whole country : "With his departure a notable figure passes out of the nation's life; a man who imparted joyful pleasure and a thoughtful view of many things that other men would have
missed."
He is remembered for nostalgic dialect verse and often called "the poet of the common people." At the age of 16 he left school and joined a group of itinerant sign painters. He acted in a patent-medicine show and worked for a newspaper. From 1877 to 1885 he was a regular contributor of verse to the Indianapolis Journal under the pen name of Benj. F. Johnson, of Boone. Some of the poems were collected in The Old Swimmin' Hole and 'Leven More Poems (1883), a volume that achieved great popularity. His best-known poems include "Little Orphan Annie,""The Raggedy Man," and "When the Frost Is on the Punkin." Riley's popularity derived mainly from his quaint use of Hoosier dialect, his cheerful and whimsical sense of humor, and his intimate understanding of life in the rural Midwest. His other works include Rhymes of Childhood (1890) and
Poems Here at Home (1893).
Born Oct. 7, 1849, Greenfield, Indiana - Died July 22, 1916, Indianapolis, Indiana
Inventions like the telephone, answering machine and e-mail have made a dinosaur out of the turn-of-the-century practice of leaving call cards with friends and neighbors. It may be gone but not forgotten. Twin calling card stands serve as an elegantly preserved reminder gracing the long entry hall at the museum home - a tribute to their Victorian Revival origins. This home/museum is a delightful example of Victorian architecture and interior design and furnishings. Just a true must to visit when traveling to Indianapolis.
