The Hamilton Test: What Makes an Impeachment Vote "Too Partisan"?
This has been a good week for Alexander Hamilton. Fresh from his triumph as Broadway's leading statesman, he has become required reading for anyone interested in this week's impeachment drama. This is because, taken together, Hamilton's Federalist essays #65 and #66 — constitute the most important statement that we have about impeachment from anyone who took part in creating the Constitution.
The key takeaway from Hamilton this week seems to be that it is really bad to impeach a president in a partisan fashion. "A partisan impeachment vote is exactly what the Framers feared," trumpeted famous Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz. "It is almost as if this Founding Father were looking down at the House vote from heaven and describing what transpired this week." House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy agreed: "This is the day that Alexander Hamilton feared and warned would come!"
Both Dershowitz and McCarthy were paraphrasing the same passage in Federalist #65, which has become a main exhibit in the Republican case against impeachment:
"In many cases [impeachment] will connect itself with the pre-existing factions, and will enlist all their animosities, partialities, influence, and interest on one side or on the other; and in such cases there will always be the greatest danger that the decision will be regulated more by the comparative strength of parties, than by the real demonstrations of innocence or guilt."
This is indeed one of the most important things that Hamilton says about impeachment, but it is being seriously misrepresented in the current impeachment debate. I am always glad when anything causes people to read The Federalist Papers. But I am even happier when it causes people to read them carefully and struggle to understand what Hamilton, Madison, and Jay were actually trying to say.
If we are to believe Mssrs. Dershowitz and McCarthy — and the many who have echoed their sentiments — we must assume that the mere fact of a party- line vote constitutes evidence of improper partisanship. And we must further assume that all of the members of a party voting "yes" to impeachment is somehow more partisan than all of its members voting "no."
But this is not what Hamilton says. It isn't even close. He takes it as a given that a debate about impeaching a president will involve animosities, partialities, influence, and interest on both sides of the question and that these biases will will map almost exactly onto "the pre-existing factions" — which is how any of the Founders would have characterized our modern political parties.
The danger is not that such biases exist. They always have and always will. The danger is that "the decision will be regulated more by the comparative strength of parties, than by the real demonstrations of innocence or guilt." Hamilton makes it exceptionally clear that both support for and opposition to impeachment can be motivated by a dangerous partisanship, which is characterized, not by the final vote tally, but by a focus on partisan loyalty instead of "real demonstrations of innocence or guilt."
If we want to use Hamilton's words to test the legitimacy of a legislator's impeachment vote — and I am all for doing so if we apply the actual text consistently — we have to do more than simply count the Ds and the Rs. The true test for Hamilton lies in motivations. A legitimate impeachment vote — affirmative or negative —is based on "real demonstrations of innocence or guilt," what we now call "evidence." It is illegitimate if it is based mainly or entirely on party loyalty.
This is a harder test to conduct, of course, as it requires us to listen, read, and understand rather than simply count. And the operative question for an honest Hamilton Test is: who talked the most about the actual evidence for or against the articles of impeachment.
By this standard it isn't even close: Democrats spent most of the time talking about the evidence that Trump abused his office and tried to cover it up. Republicans spent most of the time talking about how horrible the Democrats are.
Let's break this down a little bit. In Wednesday's eight-hour floor debate, House Democrats laid out the case that the President of the United States subordinated the national interest to his political ambition by withholding military aid that had been approved by Congress from an ally in order to force that ally into announcing an investigation of a political rival. This clear claim of fact constitutes the basis of the first article of impeachment and leads directly to the second article, that he illegally obstructed a Congressional investigation into the nature of these facts
These were the arguments advanced and supported to demonstrate the President's guilt. Under Hamilton's logic, the correct response from Republicans would have been to advance and support arguments to demonstrate his innocence. There are a number of arguments that his Republican defenders could have made, such as:
He didn't do it. He never withheld aid from Ukraine. He never asked them to investigate Joe Biden, or, if he did, he was just asking a favor that had nothing to do with releasing the approved military aid.
He did it, but he was fully justified in doing it. Joe Biden was guilty of serious corruption, and Trump had only America's interests at heart by leveraging US Aid to root out evil.
He did it, and it was wrong, but the wrongness does not rise to the level of an impeachable wrong. It is a serious thing to impeach a president, and the response, in this case, is disproportionate.
He did it, but it was not technically a crime, and the Constitution says that you can only impeach a president for something that is a violation of a criminal code.
Any one of the arguments — if it were actually an argument with evidence and analysis and not merely an assertion — would have satisfied the Hamilton Test if Republicans had developed and asserted it in opposition to the Articles of Impeachment.
But they didn't. Other than a few glaring generalities that the President "didn't do anything wrong," the Republican argument had nothing to do with the guilt or innocence of Donald J. Trump. Rather, they argued that the Democrats were being unfair, that they were denying due process, that they were treating Trump worse than Pilate treated Jesus, and that all of the partisanship was on the other side.
Why did the Hose Republicans do nothing but complain about the process and impugn the motivations of the accusers when they had actual arguments available to them? Because any real argument would have had real and immediate political consequences that they were not prepared to accept.
The first and second arguments above would have placed Trump supporters at odds with sizable majorities of the voting public, who believe that Trump did withhold aid from Ukraine in exchange for a promised investigation and that it was improper for him to do so. Only 25% if Americans agree with the statement that "Trump has not done anything wrong." If Republicans were to make actual innocence the basis of a defense, the Democratic counterargument would have likely shifted public sentiment towards impeachment.
The much stronger argument — and the one that Democratic defenders of Bill Clinton made in 1998 — would have been that the President exercised bad judgment, made some mistakes, and perhaps even broke the law , but not to the extent that justifies impeachment. Polls show that this argument could have traction. A sincere apology from Trump, followed by a few "mistakes were made" obfuscations, could well have worked as well as it did for Clinton and moved public opinion decisively against impeachment.
Such a strategy would play well with the American audience generally, but it would never be accepted by the only audience that really matters to Congressional Republicans. President Trump has made it clear that, in his view, he did nothing wrong and will not accept or participate in any defense that says otherwise. Any Representative or Senator who tries to defend Trump by acknowledging missteps will face the immediate wrath of the most powerful member of the Republican Party.
So, what about Argument #4: that articles of impeachment are only valid if they allege a violation of the criminal code? This is a theory that has been advanced by actual law professors from time to time, and it was even referenced by several House Republicans and featured in a tweet by the President. It is the closest thing to a defense of the President that Republicans have offered during the entire impeachment drama.
But the idea that presidents can only be impeached for violations of the criminal code is a fringe theory. It is not borne out in the history of impeachment or in the writings of, among others, Alexander Hamilton. And it is also a testable theory. If this were to become the main defense against impeachment, it would evaporate as soon as a federal judge ruled against it. Worse, it could lead to a judge enforcing subpoenas against officials who might have knowledge of actual illegal behavior.
Though the House Republicans could have made several arguments against impeachment that asserted the President's innocence, all of these arguments would have had political consequences that they could not accept. So they argued against the process and compared the accusers to Pontius Pilate — which made for excellent theatre but did not, in any meaningful way, constitute a defense. And this, it turns out, is exactly what Alexander Hamilton meant by an impeachment "regulated more by the comparative strength of parties, than by the real demonstrations of innocence or guilt."

A Look Back into the History of the Memorial Union
The north side of the Memorial Union reopened on May 1, 2017. (Gregory Urquiaga/UC Davis)
Just across from Shields Library is the Memorial Union, perhaps better known as the MU, which reopened yesterday after two years of construction.
First built in 1955, the Memorial Union is dedicated to 128 UC Davis students and alumni who lost their lives in military service from World War I and World War II.
Since 1955, the MU has undergone many renovation and expansion projects. It originally was just a one-story facility with a dining commons, student lounge, offices, student store and soda fountain.
In 1966, three more floors were added, one of which included the popular Games Area. The Games Area included the first and only bowling alley in the city of Davis in addition to billiards and other games.
The MU has been remodeled numerous times since its opening in order to accommodate the changing needs of our growing student population, which has nearly tripled since 1966.
Take a look back at some archival photos of the MU and compare them with what our new MU looks like today!

SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: FREDDIE GIBBS & MADLIB – BANDANA
Freddie Gibbs & Madlib
Keep Cool/RCA Records
The long-awaited followup to Freddie Gibbs & Madlib's Piñata collab album released in 2014 is finally here. After five long years, we can once again bask in the undeniable chemistry between one of the greatest producers hip-hop has ever known, and one of the most ingenious and original lyricists of the last decade.
Bandana is exactly what you would expect out of these two master-craftsmen in the best way possible. What makes this project so special is at their core, Freddie Gibbs & Madlib will not bend or break for what is popping. The two have earned their stripes and have done so doing exactly what works for them. There isn't a beat Gibbs can't slaughter with expert, thought-provoking lyricism. There isn't a sonic formula Madlib can't create that won't leave you speechless with neck pain from excessive head nodding.
The album is sample-heavy in true Madlib fashion. Along with the undeniable rap stylings of Gibbs the album can be played front to back without skipping a beat. Not only do they do exactly what they came to do, the features for this project were chosen with precision and shattered the bullseye they were aiming for. It's rare on a rap album in today's climate to have all features be spot on with not one verse lacking, but these two bring it out of the artists they surround themselves with. The album features the likes of Pusha T, Killer Mike, Yassin Bey (FKA Mos Def), Black Thought and Anderson.Paak.
The standout on the album would be the track "Practice" for Gibb's ability to check his tenacious ego at the door and let his soul bleed all over the mellow and melancholic production, communicating the trials and tribulations that burden one of hiphop's last genuine lyricists.
Overall, hiphop purists can rejoice and enjoy a solid effort by two of the most respected creators that remain in the genre. Hopefully, we don't have to go another five years to hear from these two again, but if we do, we will have this album to keep us satisfied in the meantime.

American Cops Shot and Killed More Than 900 People in 2015
As the nation continues to grapple with a daunting police brutality crisis, the latest statistics once again prove that widespread police reform can't come soon enough. Citing the 2015 rate of police killings by firearm as "well more than double" the average number reported annually by the FBI over the past ten years, the Washington Post revealed their final tally on Wednesday.
With the fatal shooting of 23-year-old Keith Childress Jr. on New Year's Eve in Las Vegas, the United States marked its 984th (and final) police killing by firearm in 2015. Though the "vast majority" of those shot and killed during these 12 months were reportedly armed and half of them were white, black people were fatally shot by cops at a rate three times higher than that of white citizens (when adjusted for population). 40 percent of those shot and killed while unarmed were black men, although the group accounts for just six percent of the country's total population.
These figures, though startling, are in line with the Guardian's recently revealed 2015 statistics on the total number of police killings. Though most of these incidents of police brutality would appear to involve a firearm, the Guardian's figures also revealed seemingly high numbers for Taser-involved deaths.
"They just gunned him down," Childress' mother, Jacqueline Lawrence, tells thePost of her son's death . "They said he had a gun, but he had a cellphone in his hand." The family is reportedly planning a wrongful death lawsuit. Thus far, as many as 11 people have been fatally shot by police in 2016.

Q: Notation of mutual information for continuous variable I'm reading a paper, 'Mutual Information Neural Estimator.'
In this paper, the notation of mutual information is written as,
$$ I(X;Z) = \int_{\mathcal{X} \times \mathcal{Z}} \log \frac{d \mathbb{P}_{XZ}}{d \mathbb{P}_{X} \otimes d \mathbb{P}_{Z}} d \mathbb{P}_{XZ}.$$
Similarly, the KL divergence is written as ,
$$D_{KL} (\mathbb{P} \vert \vert \mathbb{Q}) = \mathbb{E}_\mathbb{P} \Bigl[ \log \frac{d \mathbb{P}}{d \mathbb{Q}} \Bigr].$$
But I'm familiar with other notations like(from Wikipedia)
MI for continuous variable,
$$ I(X;Z) = \int_\mathcal{z} \int_\mathcal{x} P_{(X,Z)} (x,z) \log \Big( \frac{P_{(X,Y)}(x,y)}{P_X (x) P_Y (y)} \Bigr) dx dy, $$
and KL divergence
$$D_{KL} (P \vert \vert Q) = \sum_{x \in \mathcal{X}} P(x) \log \frac{P(x)}{Q(x)}.$$
My questions are,

*

*why they use $\text{\mathbb}$ format like $\mathbb{P}_X $ instead of $P(x)$?

*And why is it $d \mathbb{P}_X $, not just $\mathbb{P}_X $?

*Why $\sum P(x) $ become expectation?

I think the notation in this paper is quite confusing. Is there any reason they use this types of notation?

Q: Pushing repo branch to local AOSP mirror I'm trying to create a new branch of the AOSP (on my development machine) and push it to a local mirror (on a server on the same LAN).  I can't find documentation of the "repo" tool that explains how to do this.
I've created a mirror of the AOSP source on my server using:
$ mkdir -p ~/aosp/mirror
$ cd ~/aosp/mirror
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/mirror/manifest --mirror

Then I sync'd on a different computer:
 $ repo init -u <USERNAME>@<IP_OF_SERVER>:/home/<USERNAME>/aosp/mirror/platform/manifest.git -b android-4.2.2_1
 $ repo sync

So far so good.  I'm using "-b android-4.2.2_1" because I need my development to use this version of JellyBean as a baseline.
Then I create a new branch using "repo start":
$ repo start my-branch-name --all

Still good.  The problem is, I can't figure out how to "push" this branch to the remote server.
When I do repo info I see:
Manifest branch: refs/tags/android-4.2.2_r1
Manifest merge branch: android-4.2.2_r1
Manifest groups: all,-notdefault
----------------------------
Project: platform/abi/cpp
Mount path: /home/<username>/<project_name>/android/abi/cpp
Current revision: refs/tags/android-4.2.2_r1
Local Branches: 1 [my-branch-name]
---------------------------
....

When I try repo upload I get:
no branches ready for upload

I then tried repo forall -c "git push aosp my-branch-name" which does push the local branches to each remote repository, but it seems like this is not the proper way to do it.  In particular, if I try creating a new client, and try syncing to the branch it doesn't work.
$ repo init -u <USERNAME>@<IP_OF_SERVER>:/home/<USERNAME>/aosp/mirror/platform/manifest.git -b my-branch-name
error: revision my-branch-name in manifests not found

What is the proper way to create a "Manifest branch"?

A: The repo start command creates a local branch based on the current upstream branch. Running repo upload will upload any local commits on the currently checked-out branch for review to the upstream branch hosted by the Gerrit server listed in the manifest file. If the type of push you want to do doesn't match this use case you'll have to use the underlying Git commands for the pushing. You can still use repo start though (but you don't have to).
To create a manifest branch, repo start and repo upload aren't useful. Unlike other gits that Repo manages, you should make all changes to the manifest git on the default branch which Repo checks out for you. Then, use plain Git commands to push your changes.
The following example shows how to create a new manifest branch called mybranch, identical to the current upstream.
cd .repo/manifests
git push origin default:refs/heads/mybranch

Now, this by itself isn't very useful since the contents of your manifest is identical to the upstream branch – we've just cloned that branch of the manifest so while you can run
repo init -u ssh://git.example.com/platform/manifest -b mybranch

the results will be identical to what you started with:
repo init -u ssh://git.example.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.2.2_1

For your mirror to be useful you also have to branch each git listed in the manifest so that you get a branch on your server where you can make changes.
Theoretically you could make changes to the same branches that you downloaded from your upstream, but that would create a mess when you attempt to sync from the upstream the next time. Don't do that.
To create branches on the server you can follow the same pattern as for the manifest:
cd build
git push ssh://git.example.com/platform/build HEAD:refs/heads/mybranch

Note the use of HEAD, the symbolic name of the currently checked out commit. Doing this for each and every git is tedious, so use the repo forall command:
repo forall -c 'git push aosp HEAD:refs/heads/mybranch'

Note that the remote name is different from the manifest git (IIRC).
See repo help forall for a list of environment variables available for commands run by repo forall (REPO_PROJECT, $REPO_LREV, and $REPO_RREV are probably the most useful ones).
It's easy to screw up with repo forall, so make it a good habit to prepend your command with echo first to have the commands that would have been run echoed to your terminal. If you're happy with the results, remove echo to run the commands for real.
By now you'll have a mybranch branch in all your gits, including the manifest. What remains is to change the manifest so that
repo init -u ssh://git.example.com/platform/manifest -b mybranch

will actually check out mybranch in all the gits.
cd .repo/manifests
vi default.xml
[ Change the default revision from refs/tags/android-4.2.2_1
  or whatever it says to 'mybranch'. ]
git commit -a -m 'Changed default revision to mybranch.'
git push origin default:refs/heads/mybranch

Note that all gits don't necessarily use the default revision (which you just changed to mybranch). It's probably the case for the android-4.2.2_1 manifest branch, but in other cases some gits won't use the default revision but instead override it with their own revision attribute. That's perfectly fine, but it'll require you to make additional manifest changes.


After months of buildup to get to yesterday's shareholder vote to determine the makeup of Amylin Pharmaceuticals' board of directors, a key question remains unresolved. Happily for those who like more closure, the rest of the week held more definitive news for San Diego's life sciences companies.
—The protracted proxy battle between San Diego's Amylin Pharmaceuticals and activist shareholders Carl Icahn and Eastbourne Capital Management came to a somewhat anticlimactic conclusion yesterday. The vote recap: Icahn and Eastbourne each got at least one of their candidates elected to the company's 12-seat board, while Amilyn says it got 10 of its candidates elected. Final results are expected in a week or two, but a big question lingers: Which two of Amylin's incumbent directors lost their board seats?
—San Diego's Fate Therapeutics says a drug candidate it is developing to spur the growth of blood-forming stem cells has been used to treat the first patient in an early-stage clinical trial. The study is being conducted at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston to determine the safety and tolerability of the drug in some cancer patients.
—San Diego's Ophthonix raised $25.9 million in a "Series AA" venture round, with investors Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Enterprise Partners, DAG Ventures, Gund Investment Corporation, InterWest Partners, Trex Enterprises, and Wasatch Advisors' Cross Creek Capital Fund participating in the deal. The vision correction company determines each patient's lens prescription by using a laser to analyze how light travels through the eye.
—San Diego biotech Vical (NASDAQ: VICL) raised $20 million in private stock sales arranged with several institutional investors. The deal includes two longtime backers, the Pittsburgh, PA-based Federated Kaufmann Fund and New York's Special Situations Funds. Vical is developing a vaccine for the H1N1 swine flu.
—Metabasis Therapeutics is reducing its workforce by another 45 employees, or 85 percent, leaving just seven employees remaining at the San Diego diabetes drug company. Metabasis says it may be forced to cease operations entirely.
—President Rolf Muller of San Diego's Biomatrica says the company is starting to gain market acceptance for technology designed to store biological samples at room temperature. The Biomatrica products, which basically dehydrate and shrink-wrap samples, offer potential energy savings to biotech and research laboratories. Muller told Luke that sales have doubled in the last year, and that the company has grown from 13 to 25 employees.

Send Flowers for Gloria
Gloria Greenley Morgan
March 24, 1927 ~ September 26, 2019 (age 92)
On Thursday September 26 2019, Gloria Greenley Morgan, lovingly known as Georgie, passed away peacefully at her home in Wilson, Wyoming surrounded by her family. She was 92.
Georgie was born on March 24, 1927 in Oakland, California to Ann Veith Greenley who worked as a bookkeeper for a Hawaiian steamship operator. In 1937, mother and daughter moved to Dornach, Switzerland to study with Rudolph Steiner until returning to the United States when the war intensified. After settling in New York City, Georgie continued her Waldorf education before earning a full scholarship to Middlebury College where she graduated with honors in 1948. Soon after, Georgie met the love of her life, John Morgan, while they were both working at a summer resort in Vermont. Though a marriage proposal followed, it was another year of Georgie pursuing a career in journalism for the New York Times and John being a ranch hand in Jackson Hole before Georgie decided the ranch life was worth a try. They were married on August 4, 1949 at the Chapel of Transfiguration in Grand Teton National Park and settled into their first home on Snow King Mountain.
Life under the Tetons was fitting for Georgie who was passionate about the arts, education, the sciences and the spiritual power of the mountains. She was on the founding board of the Teton Science School, started the Jackson Hole Art Association, and was instrumental in integrating arts education into the local schools. She was also on the Wyoming Council for the Humanities, an active member of the Grand Teton Natural History and Library Associations, and joined John as an advocate of land preservation, establishing the first conservation easement in Wyoming. In her role as mother to the couple's five daughters, Georgie was an advocate, teacher and support crew for activities that ranged from competitive skiing, 4-H and county fair events, and arts and crafts made around the dining room table. Georgie also enjoyed skiing, hiking, tennis and yoga, was an accomplished artist, and believed that our role in the world was to honor and care for all beings.
Georgie was preceded in death in 1963 by her mother who had moved to Jackson to be closer to the family, and John who passed away in 2000. She is survived by her daughters: Wendy Morgan (Nick Anderson); Kaidi Dunstan (Bob Dunstan) with children Mark and Wade; Penny Morgan with husband Steve Bunting and children Sarah and Will; Cindy Morgan-Jaffe with wife Tanya Renne and children Anna, Rose, Claire, Paul and Olivia; and Lisa Morgan with husband Kelly Elder and children Lee and Dylan. She had many friends near and far and from multiple generations who appreciated her wisdom, laugh and generous spirit.
A memorial service is planned for the summer of 2020 in Wilson, Wyoming. Donations may made in her memory to any Wyoming nonprofit that supports the arts, humanities, sciences or education.

Did you know that it's dangerous to plant Day Lilies in with Tiger Lilies – or more succinctly – to allow those wild Tiger Lilies to seed themselves among your tame and cultivated Day Lilies?
It's not that they have an evil influence, or that they will breed with their higher-class cousins. No, it's a simple but deadly disease called Botrytis Blight or Botrytis elliptica. While the disease attacks both wild and cultivated lilies, it rarely kills Tiger Lilies, whereas the results are much deadlier for cultivated Day Lilies.
For that reason, it is advised to grow Tiger Lilies in beds of their own, as far from Day Lilies as possible. Botrytis Blight is prolific in damp conditions, which explains why you see large swaths of Tiger Lilies growing on hillsides, where the soil dries quickly after rains.
If you see yellowing and brown-spotted leaves on any of your lilies, remove those leaves. If they continue or return, dig up the plant to determine if the root bulb is rotted. If it is, dig up not just every part of the plant, but the soil surrounding it. The disease lives in the leaves, contaminates the ground, and releases air-born spores the following spring. The sooner any diseased leaves are destroyed, the better your success with preventing loss.
Are Tiger Lilies worth it? Oh, yes. That's my hillside you see, in front of my house. It's a very steep hillside, much too dangerous to mow. My solution is to let it overgrow with groundcover and interplanted with Tiger Lilies, which are prolific propagators. Not only is my hillside no longer eroding, but it looks great all year long. The only downside is that it's a bit too steep to easily remove the spent lilies, or the dried flower stalks. But, what a spectacular show in the middle of July, when few other flowers are blooming!


There are undeniable benefits of bitcoin to other altcoins and this has been proven time and time again by its continuous rise since its inception. Bitcoin makes use of one of the leading technologies in the world and to investing in it will be very beneficial in the long run. Outlined below are a number of reasons why investing in bitcoin is the right thing to do.
There are only 21 million bitcoins in existence and this is one of its major selling points to investors. The fact that every transaction made with bitcoin is transparent and the supply verifiable makes it even more appealing. No matter what happens, bitcoin supply will not be affected as it does not respond to changes in demand due to the fact that the supply has an already predetermined rate of growth. Bitcoin prices are extremely volatile and this is one of the major features investors looking to get high returns to aim for.
There are 17 million bitcoins already in existence. Reports state that 4 million bitcoins are lost and another 4 million are yet to be mined. As the demand for bitcoin increases, it's price will also increase in the long run. According to Charlie Lee, there is not enough bitcoin to go round for every millionaire to possess one.
Unlike with Fiat currency where there is a third party (bank) that controls the use of the money, there is no party controlling the use of bitcoin and this adds immensely to its appeal. Bitcoin makes use of a proof of work technology which makes all government and third-party affiliations irrelevant.
The various parties involved in the maintenance of the bitcoin network have no control over bitcoin. Bitcoin makes use of an open source network which means there is no one in control of it. However, validation of transactions is carried out by users on a full blockchain copy running peer nodes. Although there have been attempts by various individuals and establishments to gain control over bitcoin, there is no one in control of it.
Due to the Lindy effect, bitcoin will be the reserve currency of the Internet. This means that bitcoin has a very long life expectancy rate. Despite the fact that bitcoin has gone through a number of ups and downs, it is still at the top of the game. This makes it the most logical choice as the reserve currency of the Internet for investors to put their money in.
Even though several altcoins tried to improve on bitcoin metrics, bitcoin is still the best cryptocurrency out there. Saifedean Ammous is of the school of thought that bitcoin survived because it's founder let go of it to grow on its own.

Bill Rea — Things are better than before
This is another of those occasions when I believe I must put a few facts up front before proceeding.
I am not gay, and I never have been. But I also am quite happy to accept the fact that there are gay people among us. Indeed, that has been the case for some 40 years, for reasons I will get to in a couple of paragraphs.
As most people who know me are aware, I have been very, very contently involved in a heterosexual relationship with a woman for many years, and I have been happily married to her for almost 20 of those years.
But I like to consider myself a realist, so I appreciate there are lots of people, equally content as I in homosexual relationships. It's really not a big deal. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, it's no deal at all.
There are two, and only two people on this planet whose sexual orientation is a matter of the even remotest amount of interest to me. One of those people is myself, and the other is my wife (for obvious reasons, I would submit). When it comes to the sexual orientation of the rest of the world, I don't give a damn.
This column was prompted by two events that occurred over the last several days.
The most recent was the death of Jim Nabors. I watched a lot of TV in the late '60s, and one show I always enjoyed was Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., in which Nabors stared. As time progressed, he acquired another impressive gig, namely singing Back Home Again in Indiana before the start of the Indianapolis 500, an event watched by millions. In those days, I was a young man interested in vocal music, and I was impressed with the set of pipes Nabors had (make that envious). But as I read about his life over the last couple of days, I read he had been partnered with a guy for some 42 years, and they had been married for the last four. They had apparently been married in Seattle about a month after same-sex marriages were made legal in the state of Washington.
The interesting thing is so little was made of this in the obituary material that appeared in the last several days. The fact the Nabors was gay came as no shock. I came into such knowledge some years ago. I forget exactly how I learned about it because, as I stated above, I didn't care.
The other event was when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stood up in the House of Commons and apologized to gays for wrongs done to them in the past by the federal government, such as purging such people from the civil service or the military. I have read the statement, and I give the PM full marks for eloquence, as well as his attempt to address certain wrongs that have been done in the past.
I believe those two events have sort of underscored the change in attitudes over the last couple of decades.
When I was a kid, remarks about one's sexual orientation was one of the most common taunts one heard in the hall or school yard. I was victimized lots of times. Having a last name that rhymes with "gay" didn't help. Some of the taunts were good-natured among friends, amounting to little more than bantering that goes on between kids, and adults too. In such cases, I like to think I gave as good as I got. Other cases were mean-spirited, basically amounting to bullying. The people behind those taunts are in my past, and I don't miss them.
I was lucky enough to have an early lesson in dealing with people of that certain orientation.
I grew up living across the street from two gay men. They kept pretty much to themselves, and the neighbours on the street respected their privacy.
One of guys was an enthusiastic gardener. The two of them travelled a lot, so I was prevailed upon to water his plants in the house a couple of times per week when they were away. I wasn't able to handle such chores when I went away to university, but my father was happy to take it on. As the two men got to know each other, they realized they had quite a lot in common. They had both travelled extensively in Europe, and they shared interests in things like art and wines. In time, these guys became close friends of my family.
There were major benefits.
When my father took ill some 25 years ago, those guys bent over backwards to help my mother. They were over at the house the night my dad died, and one of my most vivid memories of that evening was one of them sitting in a chair in the living room with tears streaming down his face. He made no effort to hide them.
Those guys took care of my mother, having her over to dinner lots of times, and quickly accepting invites to dine with her — both my mom and the gardener were splendid cooks. They also kept an eye on my mother. I got a call at work one morning from one of them, saying he hadn't seen Mom in a couple of days, and just wanted to make sure all was well. It was, and it made us feel good that these guys were on deck.
My mother insisted they be included on the guest list at my wedding, and she needed to do no twisting of my arm to get me to go along with that.
Alas, both of those men have been dead for many years, but I well remember the good lessons I learned from our association.
And I reflect they were lucky to have lived in a neighbourhood that was not judgemental in those days. Fortunately, things have improved a lot. I was reminded of that over the last week.

When it comes to your lawn, there are all types of different grass seeds you can buy. Many different types of grass can work for a lawn, depending on the look you are going for, the climate where you live, the amount of care and maintenance you are willing to put into the yard, and more. One of the most versatile types of grass that can work just about anywhere, especially in warmer climates, is St. Augustine grass. If you haven't yet given this lush, gorgeous grass some consideration, you definitely should!
As mentioned, St. Augustine grass is at its best in warm climates and when planted in direct sunlight. However, it can survive and still look great in all kinds of climates and atmospheres.
This includes shaded areas and areas near the ocean or other bodies of water. This feature makes St. Augustine grass a great choice for anyone who lives in an area where the climate or conditions change regularly.
St. Augustine grass stays beautifully green all year long. It tends to be dark green and fresh-looking in the spring and summer months.
In the fall and winter, instead of shriveling up and turning brown or yellow-ish, the way other types of grass do, the green simply fades to a lighter green color. As such, St. Augustine grass still looks healthy and lovely through all the seasons.
Another major benefit of St. Augustine grass is that it grows very quickly. It has to be started via sod or another vegetative method. However, once it's planted, it usually doesn't take long at all for it to start sprouting.
Of course, its fast growth does mean that it will need to be mowed more regularly than some other types of grass, but most people feel it's worth it to have strong, fast-sprouting blades of grass.
As mentioned, St. Augustine grass does tend to grow rather quickly. But, other than regular mowing, this grass doesn't require a lot of upkeep.
During the planting and rooting stage, the grass will need to be watered daily. After that, however, it usually does just fine with rainwater and can even survive periods of mild drought. In the winter months, it keeps its color, as mentioned, but tends to go dormant, thus only requiring any real upkeep when the sun is shining!
Contact a business like California Sod Center if you have questions about the type of grass that would fit your yard best.
Are you considering using your land to grow crops? Do you know what equipment you will really need to grow fields of crops on your property? With so many different types of machinery and different makes and models of each, it can be impossible to know where to even begin. I have been through the same struggle. My website will give you a good idea of what you will need to efficiently plant and harvest fields of crops. Hopefully, you will learn enough to avoid spending more than you need to in order to get what is truly needed to maintain your crops.


I was searching for a Property and found this listing (MLS® #1438425). Please send me more information regarding 834 Katelyn Ct, Burlington, WA, 98233. Thank you!
I'd like to request a showing of 834 Katelyn Ct, Burlington, WA, 98233 (MLS® #1438425). Thank you!

Rajput women threaten 'mass suicide' if Padmaavat releases
By Venkat Arikatla On January 22 , 2018 | UPDATED 19:27 IST
Jaipur: Rajput women in Rajasthan have written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking that either the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's controversial magnum opus Padmaavat be stalled or they be "allowed to commit suicide."
Earlier, the women had threatened to commit 'jauhar' (self-immolation), but in a fresh letter, they have dropped the threat of carrying out self-immolations and claimed that as many as 16,000 women be allowed to commit suicide.
According to reports, Nirmala Rathore, joint secretary Shatrani Manch, has said that they do not want to break the law which is why they have dropped the self-immolation bid and the call to commit 'jauhar,' and will instead be "carrying out their freedom of expression" by seeking the PM's permission to commit suicide.
The Chittorgarh police are not concerned about the new claim by the Rajput women; they believe these are hollow threats.
The Karni Sena on Monday moved the Supreme Court seeking a ban on the release of Padmaavat, which is slated for a January 25 release. The Supreme Court on January 18 had lifted the ban on the movie paving the way for a nation-wide release.
The governments of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, too, have moved the Supreme Court seeking a modification of the apex court's previous order. The states claimed that section 6 of the Cinematograph Act empowers them to stop the exhibition of any controversial movie on the grounds of possible violation of law and order.
Violent protests have broken out across three states against the release of Padmaavat. Members of the Rajput community in Gujarat resorted to damaging buses and setting them on fire.
Protests were held at some places in Gandhinagar, Kheda Banaskantha and Surat by members of the Rajput community, with agitating groups setting on fire a GRTC bus on the Ahmedabad- Kheda highway this afternoon.

Hello. Today, we're going to take a look at code reviews within Surround SCM. Code reviews provide a way to group a set of files and changes and gather feedback from other users. Surround SCM code review functionality allows you to do this without having to mail files around, gather everyone in a room, or have people mark up the actual files. Code reviews work with all kinds of files but are especially convenient for text files where Surround can show detailed differences between versions.
First, let's look at the code review window. Code reviews are grouped by mainline and the window defaults to only showing you your unapproved reviews. There are also several other built-in filters or you can create your own. Code reviews follow a simple workflow. They start out in the work in progress state, which is when you are still adding files and versions to a code review and haven't asked for feedback.
Once you start the review, the code review moves to the awaiting review state. Once all your reviewers have completed the review, it will either move to the approved state, if there are no unaddressed comments, or to the needs attention state, if the reviewers have left comments for you to look at.
Let's start by making a new review. There are a couple of ways to create a code review. The first is here in the code review window. After clicking the "Create Review" button, I'm prompted for a review name and I can optionally enter any notes about the review. I can also specify the reviewers now, as well as any other authors. This approach works well if you follow a process where you create a code review for each new feature or managers organize reviews.
Once a code review is created, you can start adding files to it. The easiest way to do this is during the normal course of working with files in Surround.
You can add a file to the code review during check in, when adding files, when promoting files, or when committing change lists. You can also add files from the main file list as well as from the history dialogue. When adding files, you can either add the whole file or any changes between specific versions. Let's add two files to our code review. First, I'm going to check in the changes for WysiMain.cs. Next, I'm going to add Program.cs to the code review as well.
Since I added WysiMain.cs from the check in dialogue, the changes from that check in will be highlighted. Program.cs was added with no specific version chosen, so the whole file was added and no changes will be highlighted for reviewers. Once you have a code review set up with the files you want, it's time to start the review. You must pick at least one reviewer. When you start the review, all reviewers will be sent an email letting them know it's time to start. The code review automatically goes to the awaiting review state.
I'm going to log in as one of the reviewers to see their view. Each reviewer can open the review and start looking at changes. If they have any comments, they can just select the part of the files they have input on and choose "Add Comment." Once they finished reviewing a file, they click the completed checkbox. If any files have comments associated with them, the code review is marked as needs attention.
The author can mark each comment as addressed as they work on it. Once all reviewers' comments have been addressed, the code review can be sent out for final review and approval. There's also a way to do a quick ad-hoc review. Select a file and choose "Review File." This opens the file, allowing you to review its contents. If everything looks good, you can close your review and everything is finished. If you see anything that requires comments, just add a note and create a new code review on the fly.
Finally, you can easily check whether a file has any unaddressed comments by choosing "View Unaddressed Comments." This will look across all branches to see if the version of the file in this branch has lines which have comments associated with it. I hope you found this brief introduction to code reviews helpful.

è un manga scritto e disegnato da Kiichi Hotta, pubblicato da Square Enix che racconta di quattro adolescenti, Yuuta e Yuuki Asaba, Shun Matsuoka e Kaname Tsukahara, cresciuti insieme ed uno studente trasferito, Chizuru Tachibana che si unisce al circolo di amici. Nel 2011, il manga è stata adattato in una serie televisiva anime di tredici episodi prodotta dallo studio J.C.Staff, a cui è seguita una seconda stagione di altri tredici episodi nel 2012.

Trama
La storia ruota intorno a quattro adolescenti — gli affascinanti gemelli Yuuta e Yuuki Asaba, l'effeminato Shun Matsuoka ed il capo classe Kaname Tsukahara — che si conoscono sin dall'infanzia. Benché loro non si ritengano buoni amici fra loro, continuano ad andare d'accordo nel corso della loro vita scolastica. Lo studente trasferito mezzo-giapponese Chizuru Tachibana si unisce agli amici creando nuove dinamiche e nuovi equilibri all'interno del gruppo.

Personaggi

Doppiato da Kōki Uchiyama, Drama CD: Yuki Kaida
È il più grande dei gemelli Asaba e studia presso l'Homare High School. La caratteristica che lo distingue rispetto a suo fratello è la frangetta divisa al centro, oltre al fatto di indossare la divisa scolastica tradizionale anche d'inverno. Yuuta e suo fratello gemello sono identici, ed entrambi riscuotono grande popolarità fra le ragazze. Tuttavia, Yuuki era più popolare durante le scuole elementari. Sebbene abbiano entrambi un carattere piuttosto silenzioso e passivo, Yuuta tende ad esprimersi maggiormente rispetto al fratello. È più maturo di Yuuki e degli altri, e anche se di rado esprime il proprio punto di vista, lui è un attento osservatore. È nella stessa classe di Shun, insieme al quale è membro del club della Cerimonia del tè. Viene chiamato "Yuutan" da Chizuru.

Doppiato da Ryōhei Kimura, Drama CD: Junko Minagawa
È il più giovane dei gemelli Asaba, e frequenta la stessa scuola di Yuuta. Similarmente a suo fratello Yuuta, si diverte a prendere in giro Kaname facendo continue osservazioni pungenti. Ha l'hobby di leggere manga e riviste di anime, e la sua rivista preferita è "Animeja". È inoltre appassionato di videogiochi, ed ha talento per svariate attività come la cucina, il basket ed il judo, benché non consideri divertente nessuna di queste attività. Ha un carattere piuttosto indifferente e spesso crea diversi problemi per questa ragione. È molto popolare tra le ragazze, ma diventa piuttosto imbarazzato quando vi ha a che fare, così come non riesce a tollerare i profumi, che gli danno la nausea. È nella stessa classe di Chizuru e Kaname, ed è stato costretto ad unirsi al club dei manga dai suoi compagni. Sembra essere cosciente che a Chizuru piaccia Masaki. Viene chiamato "Yuukki" da Chizuru.

Doppiato da Toshiyuki Toyonaga, Drama CD: Minami Takayama
All'inizio della serie, Shun aveva i capelli lunghi, oltre che attitudini e modi femminili, che finivano per farlo scambiare per una ragazza (anche da Chizuru). Shun ha una personalità tranquilla e generosa ed p solitamente colui che tenta di calmare le situazioni più complicate, nonostante al contrario, da piccolo era considerato un piagnone. È piuttosto ingenuo in fatto di situazioni sentimentali, al punto di non rendersi conto che Masaki è innamorata di lui.

Doppiato da Yūki Ono, Drama CD: Kenichi Suzumura
È il ragazzo con gli occhiali del gruppo, capo classe, membro del consiglio studentesco e rappresentante di classe. È nella stessa classe di Yuuki e Chizuru. Proviene da una famiglia molto facoltosa. Spesso è vittima degli scherzi di Yuuta e Yuuki, che lo prendono in giro approfittando della sua facile irascibilità. Kaname è innamorato della sua insegnante di giardinaggio, Kaori-sensei, ma sembra avere un debole anche per la sua vicina di casa, Shizuna. Chizuru spesso lo chiama "Kanamecchi".

Doppiato da Miyu Irino, Drama CD: Junko Takeuchi
Studente per metà giapponese, trasferitosi dalla Germania. Ciò nonostante è persino più basso di un ragazzo giapponese media, e soffre di un complesso di inferiorità per questo. È rumoroso, allegro e un po' stupido. Ha coniato soprannomi per tutti i ragazzi e persino per Masaki. Molti anni prima, Chizuru era stato in Giappone per un breve periodo ed aveva incontrato Yuuki ad un parco. All'epoca non conosceva la lingua giapponese, ma quando vi ritorna da adolescente è perfettamente abile nel parlare la lingua. Ha una passione per le ragazze, ma nessuna esperienza. Ha una cotta per Masaki.

Doppiata da Miyuki Satō, Drama CD: Chiwa Saitō
Una studentessa del primo anno che ha imposto la propria prepotenza nei confronti di Shun per alcuni giorni. Tuttavia, verrà rivelato che in realtà la ragazza ha una cotta per Shun e lo aiuterà in diverse occasioni. Ha una corporatura piccola ed una capigliatura curiosa, cosa che ha portato Chizuru a soprannominarla "Mary" perché le ricorda una pecorella. Proprio come Shun non si rende conto dei sentimenti di Masaki, Masaki non si rende conto dei sentimenti di Chizuru per lei.

Israeli Prez warns of 'constitutional crisis' over govt's judicial reforms
"We are in the grips of a profound disagreement that is tearing our nation apart," he noted.
Herzog, whose role is mainly ceremonial and focused on unifying the divided Israeli society, said that his efforts are focused on "averting a historic constitutional crisis and stopping the continued rift within the nation."
At his weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday, Netanyahu dismissed the Saturday nationwide rallies, saying that in the elections held in November 2022, "millions of people vote on reforming the judicial system."
He said the reforms will be discussed "thoroughly" in a parliamentary review committee, which also includes members from the opposition.
"We will complete the reform of legislation in a way that will fully protect individual rights and restore public confidence in the judicial system," he added.
Last week, Levin announced a series of reforms, including giving the parliament the ability to override supreme court rulings with a simple majority. In addition, politicians will have greater influence in the appointment of supreme court judges and legal advisers to ministries.
Opponents of the plan, who rallied in Tel Aviv and other cities across Israel on Saturday night, argue that it would undermine the independence of the judiciary, harm minority rights and will make it easier for corrupted politicians to evade accountability.
On Thursday, Hayut described the plan as "an uncontrolled attack on the legal system." In rare public remarks, she said it "intended to force a deadly blow on the independence and impartiality of the judicial system".

A school staff member confirmed the news station's account to The Sacramento Bee, but she said school Principal Shannon Capshew wasn't immediately available for an interview.
While weird and rare, the phenomenon of "raining fish" is not completely outlandish.
In 2005, a Folsom couple found several tiny fish dumped on the balcony and roof of their two-story condominium overlooking the American River.
A state fish biologist told The Bee at the time that thunderstorms and wind spouts can sometimes pick up small fish from a waterway and dump them. A Google search shows hundreds of accounts from across the globe of fish falling from the skies, sometimes far from waterways.
Meteorologists with the National Weather Service in Sacramento said they weren't aware of the Oroville fish storm – nor of any weather patterns that could cause water spouts to form. They said they'd look into it.
Oroville, about a 90-minute drive north of Sacramento in Butte County, has been in the news lately because of the spillway problems of its namesake dam.

to further improve the quality of drinking water. Earlier the idea may have been simply to eliminate the particles even though later on improvements have been made to remove the harmful substances inside water as well as improve the taste of water. Most drinking water filters are designed along with a goal to get rid of contaminants such as bacteria, fluoride, chlorine etc. One of the simple and easy to use filtering systems are the countertop drinking water filters. A lot of these can be easily installed and taken care of and therefore are effective in removing undesirable contaminants in your drinking water supply.
There are several types of counter top water filters such as faucet mounted, pitchers, coolers, undersink mount, and many others. The counter top drinking water filters are usually among the list of easy and very affordable filtering devices. You can utilize these on the point of use to filter tap water which you may possibly be using for drinking. The faucet water filters are typically beneficial, because the health of your family is dependent to a large degree upon the quality of water you drink. It could be for instant drinking purpose or possibly intended for preparing meals, regardless of the objective impurities have to be removed. Countertop filters might generally have the ability to screen for heavy metals and mineral deposits like lead or asbestos. However, it may not be able to soften the actual hard or even mineralized water. There is also a stage carbon media filter which could possibly screen compounds such as chlorine or even a few bigger hydrocarbon compounds. The counter top filters must be able to provide sufficient protection against germs, bacteria including e. coli, salmonella, cysts, germs etc. Though these types of filter systems get rid of certain mineral deposits they don't impact the actual healthy trace minerals like calcium, magnesium and also potassium. They will keep all of them as it is in drinking water.
There are two forms of countertop water filter systems; one which have capability to change cartridge and another kind which have no need for such interchangeable cartridges. The actual interchangeable cartridges possess a usage period of around six months to one year while versions without interchange have a life of up to 3 years. The counter top water filters allow you to have a reliable technology that could assure good quality drinking water for drinking. You cannot rely completely on water authority and their particular drinking water treatment technologies. There are simple hook-up countertop models Brita Smart, water cooler style or even tap mounts. There are a few faucet mount models that are employed as multi stage passive drinking water filtration and even utilize high pressure reverse osmosis. Whilst purchasing a counter top drinking water filter you need to also verify if it is accredited to remove chlorine which has interacted with natural material to form Trihalomethanes which is very difficult to remove.
If you pay a visit to web sites including Amazon. com you will find several brands associated with manufacturers. Based upon the need for your family it is possible to determine a countertop filter which is best suited to your requirements. Some of the well known brands are Oreck, Brita, GE, Aquasana, Shaklee, Multi-Pures Aqua Dome, etc.
Countertop drinking water filters are really beneficial and also handy. They're simple to use and installing is very simple and quick. You could have the option to select from several trustworthy brand names and ensure safe and healthful drinking water for your family.

'It's a cautionary tale' | Interview
One of Leila's three directors, Deepa Mehta says there is much that is real in her show's surreal dystopia
Divya Unny
New Delhi June 14, 2019
ISSUE DATE: June 24, 2019
Photo courtesy: Netflix
Q. What encouraged you to tell the story of Leila?
I loved the book. When Netflix approached me for this, I felt that this was a story about women, identity, gender, a totalitarian government. It's a cautionary tale, reflective of our current world, even though it's set in a surreal space. After all these years, to balance the two was a huge learning curve for me.
Q. Dystopian dramas are an unexplored space within Indian cinema. As a filmmaker, how did you navigate this space?
Spanish director Luis Buñuel once said that the minute we are particular about the world around us is the minute we become universal. I've taken that mantra. His films are surreal, but deeply rooted in Spain. Similarly, the characters in Leila are speaking Hindi but it is a universal story. What's happening in India, in Trump's America, in France, is all the same. Everyone's fighting oppression one way or another. Leila manifests it in a fictional world, that is obviously real.
Q. What were the challenges to make Leila believable?
There's nothing unbelievable about the people's fight is that portrayed in Leila. It's one we are fighting every day. Yes, it's an exaggerated world where water is purchased via an ATM, or we see black rain because of pollution. It's a warning bell for a future we are heading towards, and that was a challenge to establish.
Q. You had to fight for the release of Fire (1996), Earth (1998), Water (2005). Is it new to have things going smoothly for Leila?
Yes, it's a relief. Censorship is not such a big issue in the digital space and you don't have to be constantly worried about offending someone. Though I always did exactly what I wanted in my films, it's a relief that there is a space where filmmakers can be honest and tell their stories without fear or inhibition.

Hospitals aren't the only ones scared about data breaches
Staff - Wednesday, July 20th, 2016 Print	| Email
2016 has been a rough year for hospital data breaches thus far — in fact, June was the worst month yet. The hospital C-suite is certainly worried about ransomware attacks and data breaches, but so is the government, according to Politico.
Hospitals and health systems aren't exactly difficult targets for hackers. The sheer amount of tech equipment combined with the gross number of employees at any given facility makes it relatively easy for cyber criminals to make their move.
As the number of cyber attacks steadily grows, top-level executives are getting worried. CHIME CEO Russell Branzell said C-suiters are "freaking out" as the nation "enter[s] into a security war for healthcare," according to the report.
Data breaches — and particularly ransomware attacks — are alarming the government, too. Despite HHS creating the Health Care Industry Cybersecurity Task Force, some are still concerned. "It's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt," said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), according to the report.
Others are calling for hospitals to take on more of the blame themselves. "If you aren't following good practices, the regulatory environment isn't going to save you," said Rep. Will Hurd (R-Texas), according to the report. "[H]ealthcare has to help itself."

Many people entering the watchmaking profession have never had any instruction on the keys to understanding, selecting, and properly utilizing the crystal selection books like the GS and B&B. This tutorial course explains how these reference guides work and the small little secrets that most watchmakers never knew. Understanding the vast selection and the categories is an important part of this course. Being able to purchase the correct fitting crystal the first time, saves both time and money. Both vintage and modern crystal selections are unique and offer a different sets of variables that we must deal with. Discussion and demonstrations of pressing in a crystal, cementing in a plastic crystal, UV gluing, case press inversion techniques, measuring and clamping with a crystal lift are just some of the most time consuming tasks if not done properly the first time.

Spring green at Cottonwood Creek is a sight to behold, as was Madison's radiant smile and stunning serious face she perfected during her senior session – favorites below!
Like many of the senior boys, Oliver wasn't too stoked about having his picture taken for an hour, but we got him to climb trees, pose with his car, don a pair of dapper sunglasses, brave a spontaneous rain shower…I think he had an okay time in the end :) Check out the highlights from his spring session last year along the Greenbelt at Riverside Park!
Kareeny and I had an adventurous time navigating the many other photoshoots also clamoring for space at Kathryn Albertson Park on a beautiful spring Saturday last year, but with a little patience and a lot of knowledge of the park's secret twists and turns, we managed to carve out a few gorgeous hidden nooks for her senior session. Highlights after the break!


These are about as close to a family recipe as I have! When I was growing up my Aunty would always make these for our family functions. My Mum told me that my Aunty learnt how to make them in her teens from her friend whose family had recently migrated from Poland, and I guess she's been making them ever since. Apparently they have some Polish name that she calls them, but I don't know it. I must have made a big deal about them, and eaten a lot of them in my younger years, because even now she still makes them for our family gatherings, and always lets me know that she brought them (for me). When I was living on the East Coast and in the USA whenever I would visit Perth she would bring a batch over for me, how nice is that! I still love them, and I still have a hard time not eating too many of them.
We had a few friends around over the weekend for my 30th, so I decided to get the recipe off of my Aunty and try making them for myself. I don't know if they tasted quite as good as hers, but they were pretty delicious, and people seemed to enjoy them a lot, so that is always a good sign. They are so easy to make, and I think they will become my easy, go to food to bring along to parties and bbqs. You could probably also guess that they are a BIG hit with the kids as well!!
Spread the grated cheese, parmesan and rosemary onto the pastry, as much or as little as you want.
Then slice the pastry 6 times vertically.
You will end up with 14 pieces.
Cool on a rack and then store in an air tight bag or container or serve.
Have a wonderful day! And Thank you for stopping by!
14 comments on "Cheese & Rosemary Sticks"
Maaaaate! This is exactly my kind of recipe, with three if my fave things, puff pastry, cheese and rosemary! It's my brothers 21st on the weekend and I'm staying at my mums so I think I might give these a try for the BBQ.
These look awesome and easy! Think I might have to try them.
I love an easy recipe! These look great, will have to try.
Now here is a recipe I can totally get on board with!! Yum!
I'm a little bit in love with it too! One of the definite plus sides of living with the folks!!
Do it!! Just don't let them get too brown!! They'll be a hit!

I can see it's two years since I last posted. In that time my father died, I took two sets of professional exams, got engaged, took up meditation, moved, renovated a house and built a studio. Once all that was done I hauled off to Africa with work, spending a month in a tent in rural Chad in 40-plus degree heat.
There's less music in that list than I'd like, but it's part of a wider plan, to set up a scenario where I can always play and write. The job is part-time: since completing the studio a couple of weeks ago, I finish work early each day, decompress with a cup of tea and then happily bury myself in practice and writing. It's exciting to explore ideas that have been bubbling away for a couple of years and to really turn my focus to improving and developing as a musician.
I'll be back performing in public again soon – running through some new songs at the piano last night, I felt the urge good and strong to get out and play for people. The last couple of years have been about digging foundations. Now it's time to build something above ground.
