The Space at Westbury
250 Post Ave
Make The Space your own and see your name up in lights on the landmark LED marquee when you book an event at The Space.
The Space is designed to present special events from corporate meetings, art exhibitions, film festivals, special video presentations of sports and cultural events, as well as life cycle events including weddings, Bar and Bat mitzvahs, confirmations, sweet sixteen parties and numerous other possibilities. Stage your event at The Space and make it a memorable experience in a unique location!
The Space was born as the Westbury Movie Theater on November 10, 1927, opening its doors to an audience that marveled at the beauty of its Tudor style inspired auditorium. The feature for opening night was "Hula" starring Clara Bow. On the stage, The University of Maryland Collegian's Band thrilled the audience with a spectacular performance. On Friday, November 11, 1927 to celebrate Armistice Day, "Beau Geste" starring Ronald Coleman was screened.
The Westbury Theatre was one of six theaters built by Salvatore Calderone in Nassau County, Long Island. The theater flourished as a single screen house until it was twinned in the late 1970′s. As patronage decreased, the theater soon closed its doors. Eight years ago Cyrus Hakakian and his partners saved the Westbury Theater from demolition. After viewing the magnificent space, he was determined to preserve the grandeur of the original theater while re-purposing the facility to accommodate all aspects of contemporary entertainment. With the installation of state of the art lighting and sound systems combined with flexible seating plans, the Westbury Theater now enters a new chapter of its illustrious history as The Space at Westbury.

China arrests 15,000 for 'Internet security' crimes
By Cory Bennett - 08/18/15 12:36 PM EDT
Chinese police have arrested roughly 15,000 people for crimes they claim "jeopardized Internet security," Reuters reports.
The roundup is part of the government's ongoing efforts to tighten Internet control, which includes a recent national security law that gave officials vague authority to secure and control the country's computer systems.
According to China's Ministry of Public Security, police investigated 7,400 instances of cyber crime over an indefinite period that led to the arrests.
Officials said they looked into more than 66,000 websites offering "illegal and harmful information," in addition to those with advertisements for pornography, explosives and firearms, and gambling.
Since taking office in late 2012, Chinese President Xi Jinping has spearheaded an unprecedented crackdown on the flow of digital information into and within China.
Beijing officials operate a massive censorship operation, known as the Great Firewall, which blocks websites and digital services that disseminate information critical of the Communist Party.
Officials have also reportedly used the mechanism to snoop on dissidents and foreigners.
The ongoing campaign has irked the U.S., which is expected to press Xi on his digital controls during the leader's upcoming Washington visit.

'Don't Come Here' is the message Treasure Coast tourism offices are using to attract visitors
Lina Ruiz
As traveling trends started to evolve at the onset of COVID-19, the Treasure Coast's tourism offices realized they needed creative ways to market the region.
So they told visitors not to come here.
The "Don't Come Here" podcast debuted in late September 2021, its 14 monthly episodes highlighting the region's drinking spots, professional sports and local businesses. Each episode streamed on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Spotify, accompanied by a YouTube video of the 25-35 minute conversation with local experts.
Indian River lodging:New hotels for Indian River County could change tourism game
St. Lucie dining:New Italian restaurant serves wings, pasta, New York pizza in St. Lucie County
Motorsports in Martin?:Developers want to bring 900-acre motorsports racetrack to Martin County, but won't say where
Now a second season has launched, with the first episode released Nov. 1, focusing on the Treasure Coast's fine-dining scene. The goal of the podcast's ironic name was to garner listeners in a nontraditional way, said Ian Centrone, Martin County tourism manager.
"The idea was this snarky, tongue-in-cheek approach to help us stand out from the competition," Centrone said. "We thought that it would be effective in capturing people's attention in a really crowded podcasting space."
The new season is being hosted by host Daniel "Dano" Russo, a local radio personality with more than 25 years experience, best-known for shows such as "The Love Doctors," "On Call with Dano and Maegan" and "Dano and Nutter Afternoons."
After parting ways in April with iHeartMedia, which produced those shows, Russo saw the casting call for the podcast and immediately was drawn to the title and what it represented, he said.
"I thought, 'Wow, that's interesting. Somebody that believes in deprecation like I did and knows that it works,'" Russo said. "I felt that chemistry again."
In Season 2's first episode, Russo spoke about the aspects of a quality dining experience with Kyle Greene, owner of Kyle G's Prime Seafood and Steaks on Hutchinson Island in St. Lucie County; and with food blogger Thomas Miller, who's known as "The Treasure Coast Foodie."
In the video version, a segment shows Russo eating at the Gafford restaurant in downtown Stuart, the first shot zooming in on his stained, white button-down from the first course, before the camera closes in on the real stars: the meatloaf and pork chops.
"My wife says, 'I can't take you anywhere.' I said, 'What are you talking about, man?'," Russo said in the video. "I have a tendency to spill stuff."
As Russo spearheads ideas for future episodes, he said he's looking forward to highlighting shipwrecks along the region's coastline, such as the U.S.S. Rankin that was sunk as an artificial reef in July 1988 about 5½ miles off the St. Lucie Inlet.
Two episodes are recorded every-other month at 8th Avenue Studios in Port St. Lucie, according to studio owner Bryan Smith. It takes three to four hours to produce one episode.
"Podcasting has become such a huge part of our lives, and because of that, so many people are wanting to do podcasts now," Smith said. "It's really cool to have an entity that's willing to invest in a higher production value and invest in a host with a name so it really is something that is enjoyable to listen to."
The first season cost about $12,600 to produce, or about $900 an episode, Centrone said. The cost is divided among Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin counties' respective tourism budgets.
As of late November, there had been 2,834 audio downloads of the podcast, or an average of 188 per episode, Centrone said. On YouTube, there were 5,308 views, or an average of 350 views per episode.
The latest fine-dining episode has garnered more than 1,600 views on YouTube.
Russo enjoys the multimedia aspect, he said, and compares the process to creating a painting.
"When I take behind a microphone, when I take to the air, it's a Bob Ross," Russo said, referring to the famous painter. "We're going to start with the little bird in the sky here, then we're going to paint a mountain in the background … I love all that."

John Herdman acknowledges the book on the U.S. Virgin Islands is pretty thin.
He also knows that his Canada side is expected to win handily Sunday when the two face off in a CONCACAF National League qualifying match at Bradenton, Fla.
For once, the 79th-ranked Canadian men are the Goliath against the 199th-ranked David from USVI, who as the underdog likely will look to stop goals rather than score them.
"We're expected to really rack up a scoreline," said Herdman, who expects the USVI to offer direct and physical opposition. "And the other sides to that are … it can breed a level of frustration.
Goals are important, however, with Canada looking to climb the CONCACAF Nations League ladder.
Goals difference and goals scored are the second and third tiebreakers after points.
"The players are aware, they're well aware," Herdman said of the importance of goals.
The Canadian men host No. 177 Dominica on Oct. 16 at Toronto's BMO Field before playing at No. 135 St. Kitts & Nevis on Nov. 18 and entertaining French Guiana on March 26. French Guiana, while a member of CONCACAF, is not part of FIFA so is unranked.
So Canada is up among some 30 other countries bidding to earn their way into the remaining six spots in the top tier.
"I know, Canada, we desperately want to be in Nations League Group A," Herdman told a media conference call Friday.
Sunday marks Herdman's first competitive match at the Canadian senior men's helm. Herdman, who switched from the women's to the men's program in January, saw his team defeat New Zealand 1-0 in a March friendly in Spain.
The weekend contest was originally scheduled to be held in the U.S. Virgin Islands but was switched to the IMG Academy in Bradenton because of the lack of a suitable venue in the hurricane-ravaged USVI.
The U.S. territory, a string of islands located 1,775 kilometres southeast of Miami, has a population of a little more than 100,000.
Herdman has five teenagers at his disposal including Bayern Munich-bound Vancouver Whitecap Alphonso Davies. The 17-year-old is joined by goalkeeper Alessandro Busti, winger Liam Millar and forward Jonathan David (all 18) and 19-year-old fullback Zachary Brault-Guillard. Defender Derek Cornelius is just 20.
Veterans on the squad include goalkeeper Milan Borjan (Red Star Belgrade), defenders Dejan Jakovic (Los Angeles FC) and Marcel de Jong (Vancouver Whitecaps), midfielders Scott Arfield (Glasgow Rangers), Junior Hoilett (Cardiff City), Samuel Piette (Montreal Impact) and Jonathan Osorio (Toronto FC) and forwards Tosaint Ricketts (Toronto FC) and Cyle Larin (Besiktas).

What is the family of elements that contains the most reactive metals?
Camilleon
The family that contains the most reactive metals are the alkali metals.
Alkali metals are lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr).
As you move down the column, the metals become more reactive because the nucleus gains more electrons and protons (more electron levels), weakening their electrostatic force. Imagine that you're holding a bunch of books. You can't hold them all very easily, right? It's easy to drop one, which is why it's easy for them to donate 1 electron at STP.
This is why they're so dangerous because they can react easily with any element that doesn't have a full octet (complete set of valence electrons). For example, you wouldn't want any these reacting with fluorine because it has 7 electrons and really wants one more; it's got the highest electrostatic force because of its high nuclear charge and lesser amt. of electron shells. So, the alkali really wants to give one, and the halogens really want one, which is why they're so dangerous.

HomeLife in NOCOA big life
A big life
August 5, 2018 Libby James Life in NOCO 6
Michael Spearnak in his garden
When asked for a definitive statement about Michael Spearnak, her husband of nearly 25 years, Leslie Harms said, "He's a big man." Then she smiled and said, "That means he gets bigger portions of food."
True. He's well over six feet, though slender and athletic-looking at age 64. But that's only one of the ways in which Spearnak is "big." He's outsize in the way he approaches life, in accomplishments, in attitude and appreciation for those he interacts with, and in his perception of work and play.
He grew up in Leonia, New Jersey, a mile-square bedroom community adjacent to New York City, the third of four boys and with two younger sisters. There were no bars and no movie theaters, but there were some interesting neighbors, like Alan Alda and Gene Shalit. His parents were teachers. A mother who believed in letting her children live their own lives and make their own decisions never told him what he should or should not be doing.
He majored in perceptual psychology at Boston University because to him that seemed like an easy subject to study. He minored in music, something he continues to love to this day. Armed with a degree, he returned to New Jersey, shared a house in Hackensack with several musicians and began writing songs and playing his guitar. To put food on his table, he painted houses.
An acquaintance learned that he had a degree in psychology and suggested he might check into an opening at a local community college. That's how Spearnak began teaching career counseling. Despite the fact that he had no established career of his own when he began, he took to the work and spent several years coaching people like photographers who wanted to become lawyers and stockbrokers who wanted to do something else.
Then he spent five years teaching impoverished inner city dwellers at an adult learning center in Patterson, New Jersey. His students ranged in age from 16 to 70 and he did everything from GED coaching to teaching basic job skills, ending up as head of the counseling department before burnout caught up with him.
Through conversations with an architect friend, he became intrigued with that line of work, observing that it demanded creativity and was where he could use his talent in sculpture, drawing and math. It took a few years, a marriage and fatherhood before he moved to Colorado, earned residency in the state and enrolled in a thee-year masters program in architecture at the University of Colorado, Denver.
After a stint in private practice, he was hired to manage construction projects for Poudre School District, eventually becoming director of planning, design and construction during a period when several new schools were under construction.
It was in this position that Spearnak's prior experience in counseling and interest in green, sustainable building coalesced. He was in his element. The result was the construction of local schools that won national and international awards for sustainability and that featured spaces that were practical to maintain and conducive to learning. He was invited to talk about his work across the country and abroad.
"It all started because I didn't want to get yelled at," said Spearnak, who tends to be mellow and soft-spoken. "When I asked the head painter for the school district what he thought about our paint choices in a new school, he just said 'No!' Then he explained the difficulty of maintaining a dozen colors in schools across the district. I realized that he knew much more about paint choices than we did."
Spearnak began to work in a new way. He made it a point to consult painters, custodians, groundkeepers—all those who care for buildings—before plans were implemented. His counseling background kicked in as he saw to it that the engineers, architects and management-level people got to know those who maintained the buildings on a personal level. They became a planning team with a wide range of expertise. The result was an integrated approach to design that demanded longer, more inclusive planning sessions and resulted in dramatically better results.
"I'm grateful that I was given the freedom to develop the method," Spearnak said. He believed in it so strongly that if he had not been able to implement his ideas he would have left his job. He stayed until four years ago. "Then it was time to leave," he said. "I was ready to do other things."
He wanted to make music and to explore a long-held interest in radio. "It took me 18 months to get myself down to KRFC and volunteer," he explained. Today he has a weekly show called The Flip Side, which airs at 6 p.m. on Wednesday nights. On the "A" side, he interviews someone in the community about their musical tastes, and on the "B" side the following week, he plays their favorite music. The "bump" music that introduces the show is his own composition.
These days he finds time to fly fish and to sit on his porch in late afternoon sipping a beer in a lush garden setting created by Leslie, pondering just what may come next in his big life.

Q: Getting JWT data in Gorilla CustomLoggingHandler I am using a custom logging handler in my Go web server like this:
func main() {
    // ... Set up everything

    router = mux.NewRouter()
    router.Handle("/apilookup",
        raven.Recoverer(
            jwtMiddleware.Handler(
                http.HandlerFunc(
                    doApiLookup)))).Methods("GET")

    loggedRouter := handlers.CustomLoggingHandler(os.Stdout, router, writeLog)

    http.ListenAndServe(listenAddr, loggedRouter)
}

In the writeLog function, I have made my own version of the Gorilla handlers.LoggingHandler, which logs a lot of additional information.
One thing I would like to do is log the user for authenticated requests. Users authenticate to this server using JWT (using the Authorization: Bearer ... header). I am using Auth0's go-jwt-middleware to parse the token and set its value in the Request's context.
I tried to log the user's email address (one of the claims in the JWT) like this, based on the middleware's documentation:
func writeLog(writer io.Writer, params handlers.LogFormatterParams) {

    // ... SNIP

    // If we can't identify the user
    username := "-"

    if userJwt := params.Request.Context().Value("user"); userJwt != nil {
        claims := userJwt.(*jwt.Token).Claims.(*jwtClaims)
        username = claims.Email
    }

    // ... SNIP
}

The problem is that username is always the initial value - and not the expected value from the JWT.
By adding log.Printf("%+v\n", params.Request.Context()) above the if, I see that the context doesn't actually contain the parsed JWT data here.
As far as I can tell, the reason this is not working is because the middleware creates a new Request with the updated context, so only middleware further down the chain can see it. Because the logging middleware is above the JWT middleware, it does not have that same context.
I know that I can re-parse the JWT in the logging handler (because I do have access to all the headers), but that seems like a lot of overhead for logging.
Is there a better way to do this that will allow me to have access to this data where I want it?


Since 1962, Bears players have worn a 'C' on their helmets to showcase their allegiance to the city of Chicago.
This week during practice, players have a new addition to their uniform to add inspiration.
As part of Crucial Catch Week, players will wear a special white and pink Advocate Health Care patch on their practice jerseys leading up to the Crucial Catch game on Sunday against the Patriots.
On Wednesday, the team made player's practice-worn jerseys available through auction via the free Chicago Bears App. Proceeds from the jersey sales will go toward the "Real Bears Fans Wear Pink" campaign benefiting organizations that support breast cancer patients, survivors and their family members.
Each jersey recipient will also receive an 8 x 10 inch "I Practice For" card signed by the player. Each card features a photograph of the Bears new practice field at Halas Hall and an official presentation document on the opposite side, indicating the recipient of the jersey and the name of someone for whom the player dedicated his week of practice.
The unique keepsake can make for a touching gift to honor a survivor or as a personnel token to remember one's own battle with cancer.
Five of the jerseys will not be auctioned off and instead will be given directly to breast cancer survivors. On Friday morning, five survivors who were treated by Advocate Health Care will have the opportunity to attend practice with their guests. Each of the five women will receive a practice jersey from a player. Players giving their jersey to a survivor include cornerback Prince Amukamara, linebacker Leonard Floyd, guard Eric Kush, receiver Kevin White and running back Ryan Nall.
Fans can see jerseys available for auction by opening the Chicago Bears Official App on their mobile device, tapping on 'More' in the bottom right corner, then on 'Bears Care Auction.' Returning users can login to see items available to bid on, and new users have the option to register an account for free to browse the listings.
As the Bears have prepared for battle with the Patriots this week, they've been inspired by the more serious battles of many NFL fans who have been touched by cancer and are honored by the opportunity to help raise awareness and funds to help intercept this disease.

Lechner Racing Porsche Supercup
Fantastic day for Lechner Racing at Monaco
"This is one of the greatest days in our team history", Austrian team principal Walter Lechner was completely over the moon after the Porsche Supercup race at Monaco. The three Lechner drivers Michael Ammermüller, Dan Cammish and Dennis Olsen had just taken all the three podium positions in this order, with the Brit having grabbed second place from the Norwegian already at the start. "We showed a great team performance, and I have to say thank you to our drivers, who drove a very disciplined race and brought home this fantastic success," Lechner emphasized.
Ammermüller, who now scored three wins out of three races in this year´s Supercup season, immediately took the lead from pole position and never seemed to be in danger of losing it until the chequered flag. "Of course it is a fantastic feeling to win here at Monaco, it is still and will always be the place where every racing driver dreams of winning more than anywhere else", said the Bavarian. "It was a perfect race weekend for me, I had the pace and I managed to stay off the walls. But it is also very important that I was able to further extend my Championship lead. This year I really want to have a go at the Porsche Supercup and its looking good so far!"
Ryan Cullen managed to improve from 16th on the grid to P12, having a clean race and staying out of any trouble, while Dylan Pereira got caught up in some midfield trouble and finally had to come into the pits and retire with a broken rear wing. Al Faisal Al Zubair after only four laps was the innocent victim of two other cars who touched in front of him, with the youngster from Oman not being able to avoid getting involved in the mess as well and had to retire.

Steven Millhauser's Edwin Mullhouse: The Life and Death of an American Writer, 1943-1954, by Jeffrey Cartwright, and Augusto Monterroso's Lo demas es silencio: La vida y la obra de Eduardo Torres underscore in a Borgesian fashion the fictionality and incompleteness of biographical discourse. In their works, parodic and apocryphal writings revise the relationship between the biographer and the biographee, and pose the question of whether it is really possible to write someone's life.
Why is it so fascinating to read about an invented writer and about his or her literary and/or academic production? What is entailed in the pursuit of creating fictional authors? To answer these questions I turn to the master of apocryphal writing, Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), whose works often underscore the incompleteness inherent in writing someone's life. Particularly, his 1935 collection of "invented" historical characters, Historia universal de la infamia, and his short narratives, "Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote" and "Borges y yo," come to mind. Indeed, Borges's works and literary persona have permeated many efforts made among contemporary United States and Latin American writers to re-situate the role of the author as a fictional biographer of non-existent writers who claim to be real writers beyond the fictional realm.
Apocryphal biographies, a genre that I see as clearly departing from Borges's works and literary persona, encompass the discursive implications of two commonly used terms: "fictional biographies" (which emphasize factual over fictional knowledge) and "biographical fictions" (which emphasize fictional over factual knowledge). In the case of Barges and other contemporary writers, such terms are problematic since, in their works, writing is often (if not always) an apocryphal exercise, an incomplete task based on "writings or statements of questionable authorship or authenticity" (see apocrypha, American Heritage Dictionary). In this essay, I privilege the term apocryphal biographies (rather than mock or fictional biographies), since apocryphal texts are not always considered completely false or lacking in truth. Rather, their existence often invites us to reconsider an established truth or even the authenticity of an original text. Indeed, this process of contrasting the original versus the apocryphal best ill ustrates the aesthetic program behind Borges's universal library--the network of fictional and verifiable authors, quotations, and texts that makes up his writings.
Indeed, Steven Millhauser (1942- ) and Augusta Monterroso (1921- ) have revamped this aesthetic program into an academic exercise a la Borges by their relentless pursuit of apocryphal biographies in their writings, which I summarize in the title phrase of my essay as "writing lives, writing lies." Millhauser's fiction is strongly rooted in biographical writing and is suggestive of biographies or essays about real writers or artists. His 1972 novel, Edwin Mullhouse: The Life and Death of an American Writer, 1943-1954, by Jeffrey Cartwright, tells the story of a child genius writer, and his 1991 novella, Catalogue of the Exhibition: The Art of Edmund Moorash (1810-1846), portrays the life of nineteenth-century artist and Harvard undergraduate Edmund Moorash. Millhauser, a kind of postmodern biographer, seems preoccupied with telling real lives as opposed to fictional ones. He insists on the real nature of his protagonists as much as he suggests that he is both a novelist and a biographer. In this sense, his 1997 Pulitzer Prize-winner, Martin Dessler: The Tale of an American Dreamer, reconstructs the life of the entrepreneur following the pseudo-biographical model of his earlier works.

Katie Burke, a friend and colleague of mine, bakes a chocolate cake that's so wickedly good it should be illegal in all 50 states. I've had the good fortune of enjoying this delectable cake at various times over the last several years, as Katie has made it for birthday celebrations and other special occasions at work.
Let me be clear: Katie's Should-Be-Famous Chocolate Cake is the best chocolate cake—or any cake, for that matter—I've ever eaten. Period. In fact, no other chocolate cake even comes close.
So what makes Katie's chocolate cake so scrumptiously delicious?
It wasn't easy, but I managed to get Katie to reveal a few secrets from the recipe. For instance: She substitutes applesauce for vegetable oil. "The applesauce is key for making it moist," she insists. "Another trick is to make sure the eggs are room temperature. I also use 2 percent milk instead of whole milk.
Katie has graciously agreed to custom-bake her Should-Be-Famous chocolate cake for any Lunchboy Says blog enthusiasts—for a special price of just $20. She'll even make half a cake for $15. "I can also use the same recipe for cupcakes," she says. A dozen cupcakes are $15; two dozen cost $25. Feel free to contact Katie directly at katherinemarieburke@gmail.com.

Though, WordPress is powering almost 30% of the websites, yet it has an unfair reputation for having poor security. As a consequence, a vulnerability or successful attack on a prominent website becomes big news – and WordPress becomes the scapegoat.
WordPress is an open source system and also has an open system for plugin and theme development. It is a well-known fact that majority of vulnerabilities are actually due to plugins and themes rather than the core system. As a leading Web Designing Company Delhi , we only use limited number of plugins. We thoroughly test the compatibility issues of plugins before installing that in the system. The best practices involve testing the compatibility of plugins with the theme. We further use premium WordPress themes to ensure that your website works seamlessly without facing any issues.
Another reason of vulnerabilities is when a website has not been updated after a security patch is released. WordPress introduced auto updates a couple of years ago, so security patches are added to a WordPress installation automatically as soon as they are released. However, if your website is developed on local host and then migrated to the production, then there are possibilities that updating of WordPress may face few issues. However, you don't have to worry about such things because it's the job of the WordPress Agency to keep plugins up-to-date, make more major WordPress updates, and proactively monitor the security set up of the site.
So, as a concluding statement, I would like to suggest that WordPress is actually a fantastic CMS on which you can trust to run your website. With huge community of developers supporting this CMS, if any vulnerability is found then it will be patched quickly via an update of the system.

REVIEW: Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Heart of the Forest
By CT Phipps
Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Heart of the Forest is a visual novel that is by developed by Different Tales and published by Walkabout Games. It is set in the World of Darkness tabletop roleplaying game universe originally created by White Wolf and currently owned by Paradox Games.
Werewolf: The Apocalypse is a game where you are a werewolf given his or her powers by Gaia the Spirit of the Earth to protect her from environmental damage. It has sometimes been called an R-rated Captain Planet but actually got fairly deep into spiritual, indigenous rights, and corporate satire. It wasn't my favorite game of the World of Darkness and often handled things in a ham-fisted way, but I still spent many hours playing it.
The premise of this game is that a young Polish American girl named Maia is journeying to Białowieża in Poland, along the border of Belarus. Białowieża Forest is one of the few remaining primeval forests left in the world and current endangered by semi-legal logging. Maia is researching her family history and suffers from elaborate gory dreams that are full of symbolism even she doesn't understand. Maia is, to no one's surprise, a werewolf about to go through her first change and has no idea of what awaits her when this happens.
Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Heart of the Forest is a solid and well-written game that provides an excellent introduction into the setting. Even better, it chooses to go the less obvious route with the game than they might have. Rather than a game based around bloodshed and berserk war like many W:TA games, it actually puts a large focus on controlling your animalistic rage. Rage is an actual attribute in the game and if you have too much of it then it will terrify regular humans as well as force you to do actions that you may not want to do.
One of the things that surprised me in the game is the fact that it is entirely possible to do a pacifist run. You can rely almost exclusively on your wits and cunning to resolve issues rather than claws or teeth. Indeed, using violence may result in things getting much worse. This doesn't mean violence is not a way to resolve things, just that it can have consequences that can result in things escalating rather than decreasing.
An interesting twist is the fact that there are very few Wyrm creatures in the game. The biggest enemy to the forest is a bunch of loggers, cops, and an apathetic populace. You can slaughter all of these people but the consequences are likely to be the same as a bunch of eco-terrorists murdering "regular" people. Tricking them or destroying them nonviolently may work but that may not be a straight or obvious path.
This is not a typical video game but closer to a choose your own adventure novel like those that I used to enjoy in the Nineties. The writing style is delightful, and I enjoyed it from beginning to end. It manages to capture the surreal and terrifying nature of the Spirit World as well as the moral ambiguity of its entities.
There's also a lot of local history and geography incorporated into the narrative that makes the story seem more real. The art is stylized and well done, giving a vibrant impressionist style that suits the game better than recent Vampire: The Masquerade game's more realistic as well as subdued art. If there's a problem with the game, I'd say that it's too short and I managed to finish it at barely over two and a half hours. There's replay value but having chosen a pacifist and intellect-based route, I'm really not interested in a more violent brutal one.
One small detail for longtime fans of W:TA, the game seems to come down rather heavy on the Get of Fenris. Its members are characterized as fascists and brutes. There is more to their portrayal, Maia's ancestor being a member of the Polish resistance, but you have to really work to find it. Given the Get are one of the most popular clans, I found this a strange choice. Nevertheless, I highly recommend the game.

Iwata on Spaceworld, Zelda, online gaming
Back from his travels
News by	Tom Bramwell, Contributor
Source - Core Magazine translation
Nintendo's Satoru Iwata, who conducted the European unveiling of Pokemon Mini, the Card-E Reader and Kirby's Tilt 'N' Tumble for Game Cube on Saturday afternoon has spoken to Japanese website Dengeki about the response to Spaceworld, Zelda, the Game Cube hardware and how Nintendo plans to deal with online gaming. The response to Spaceworld was difficult to gauge, because nobody really knew what to expect in the first place. Iwata believes that "many people came to the event wondering what we were going to announce." The obvious possibilities being another delay, an online gaming announcement or similar. "I think once they got a chance to experience the software at Spaceworld they had no more doubts." One topic Iwata will never be able to rid himself of is the question of whether the Cube is launching with too few titles. Two games on launch day and another a day later pales in comparison to the enormous run of titles that arrived with the PlayStation 2. The justification is still that very few people would realistically buy more than one or two anyway. "We could release more, but I don't think it's too few," Iwata told the interviewer. "It's important that each game has a chance to reach its sales potential." A lot of good games launched with PlayStation 2, but games that might have sold well if they were released in their own time suffered as a result. "Look at hardware launches recently, it looks great when you have plenty of software available, but players grow tired of those games quickly. We're not going to try and use the number of titles in our software library as a marketing weapon." Next the discussion moved on to Zelda and Shigeru Miyamoto's announcement. Dengeki described the reaction to Zelda as "intense." Iwata agreed. "It was clearly divided between the good and bad. That was expected though, because it was so different from anything we've shown before. Even within Nintendo, some people were confused and speechless when they first saw it. It's always like that when you introduce something unexpected." In explanation of the graphical changes, Iwata reports that Miyamoto has grown disillusioned with the "endless pursuit of realism". He believes that it has caused many games to lose their "sense of individuality". There is a compelling argument for what he's saying. With each step the series takes towards realism, we lose part of the fantasy that made the game so popular in the first place. Personally, I've never held Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask in the same class as Zelda III on the Super Nintendo and Zelda IV on the Game Boy. They are very different styles of game, and Miyamoto's latest is clearly inspired by the latter two rather than the former. "He's taking things in a new direction, and I think that's befitting of 'Zelda'," Iwata said. With the subject of Zelda out of the way, Dengeki tried a lighter note, quizzing him about the Game Cube's handle. Simply put, "We wanted a machine that players could move easily for the best experience, albeit a study room, a bedroom, whatever is most convenient for them." It's a shame about the huge trail of cables - perhaps with the next console some sort of low-cost base station will be produced to make the movement between areas even more convenient. The wireless gamepad is clearly a move in this direction. Finally the pair discussed online gaming. "That seems to be a hot topic of discussion these days," Iwata observed, but instead of talking about cable Internet, ADSL and other fledgling technologies he went back to basics, once again reminding us that the console is a technology for all ages, and how much Nintendo values the younger gamer. "For the average players there are several barriers. For example, narrowband players would need to have a telephone line in the vicinity, and since they don't have credit cards they'd need their parents to subscribe to a network and pay monthly fees. We believe a game that might sell 1 Million copies normally would likely sell less than 200,000 copies if it was network based." Iwata does believe that some of Nintendo's games have benefited from the advances in online gaming though, singling out new forms of communication between players as a plus. "In the past we've adapted similar elements offline into games like Smash Brothers. We've devoted an entire research team to devising a network strategy and cope with these issues." Which, to put it bluntly, is the console giant's version of 'when it's done'. Related Feature - The Nintendo Show

The owners of Wood Treatment Ltd claims all 50 staff at risk of redundancy will be paid during the consultation period.
Bosses of a Bosley mill have denied claims staff facing redundancy are not being paid.
The GMB union said staff had left a meeting with the owners of Wood Treatment Ltd understanding that they would not be paid during the 30-day consultation which started on August 7.
The union then raised a grievance against the company.
The Express asked Wood Treatment Ltd to clarify its position but got no response.
Now the company has accused 'other parties' of 'misinformation' and moved to reassure the 45 or so workers facing redundancy that they will be paid.
In a statement, the owners said: "We are fully aware of our obligations to pay staff and have at no point communicated that they will not be paid.
"It has always been our intention to pay staff and we have made regular payments since the fire.
Ray Carrick, regional officer for GMB, said: "GMB welcome this statement and we believe that this meets the demands we had made in our formal grievance which was submitted to the company on August 10, that staff must be paid their normal wages throughout the consultation period.
The four people missing after the blast were Derek Moore, 62, from Stoke-on-Trent, William Barks, 51, from Leek, Jason Shingler, 38, from North Rode, and Dorothy Bailey, 62, from Bosley.
Will Barks, Derek Moore and Dorothy Bailey have been identified as victims. Jason Shingler is still missing.
Wood Treatment Ltd, which is owned by the Boden Group, said it cannot reopen the factory for at least six months while police and the HSE investigate the cause of the disaster. The firm employs 50 staff, however just six roles will be retained at a cat litter processing plant on the site.
Macclesfield MP David Rutley and Cheshire East Council leader Michael Jones have preciously criticised the firm for its handling of 'traumatised' staff.


Through the halls of Homestead, a mindless flick of the finger has spun into the newest fad: fidget spinners. Originally created to help ease the restlessness of those who struggle with hyperactivity, these toys have recently caught the eyes of students everywhere. Because of this, teachers have begun to crack down on the toys, believing that they are a distraction in the classroom. Take a look at some of Homestead's own, taking a stance on the issue and trying it out for themselves.

Sour Cream Pear Pie — THE HANNA BLOG Worked like a charm!
Still trying to come up with a dessert recipe for Thanksgiving? We've got a great recommendation! This sour cream pear pie is an old-fashioned custard pie that's as simple to make as it is seasonal. It's definitely a crowd pleaser, and if you have any left, it makes a fantastic breakfast!
First off you will need a single pie crust. We think this recipe is awesome, and there is good visual reference as well.
Peel and core pears and cut into thin slices. Blend sour cream, egg, vanilla, sugar, salt and flour until smooth. Fold pears into the custard mixture and pour into prepared pastry shell.
For streusel: Combine flour, brown sugar, and oats in a small bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until crumbly and then stir in the nuts.
Bake pie without streusel at 375 degrees for 40 minutes. Take out of oven and sprinkle the streusel on top and bake for an additional 15 minutes. If the pie starts to get too brown while cooking, just cover it with some foil. Let cool for a bit, then serve it up and garnish with whipped cream!

Kenya is not only a top safari destination, but also favored for its luxury African holidays
Dec 19 2013 | Written by: Fran
Billionaires Resort, Malindi: Kenya's latest luxury
Conventional images of an African holiday bring images of a hot and dusty Africa where luxuries are limited, if available at all, to mind. But the last few years drastically changed and shaped this image. Now, with Kenya's latest luxury holiday resort development up and running, a luxury African holiday is the new hit on the continent.
Malindi: Italian owner and developer
The Billionaires Resort is the brainchild of well-known Italian businessman and former leader of the Renault F1 team, Flavio Briatore. Briatore knows what it takes to plan a successful luxury resort development – his other luxury Malindi resort development, 'Lion in the Sun' has received several top level hospitality and tourism awards. With its excellent location in the coastal village of Malindi and high-end finishings, Lion in the Sun has already proved to be a much-loved Kenyan holiday resort. With this development experience, Briatore set out to develop another high-end resort in Kenya. About 500 million Kenya Shillings later, this resort will be opening its doors within the next few days.
Malindi Resort Kenya: opening for the Christmas holiday season
Although the official opening of the resort was scheduled for August 2013, construction delays were experienced – bearing in mind that a grand development in a small Kenyan village can not otherwise but pose some construction challenges. The official grand opening hosted local government and tourism officials, sending the resort off with local government blessings. The Billionaires Resort will be welcoming its first guests a few days before Christmas. Africa is the continent of eternal sunshine, and many people from around the globe flock to the continent for a warm and sunny Christmas, Billionaires Resort's timing could not have been better!
Malindi Resort offerings
What does the resort offer? A beach restaurant overlooking the white sandy beaches, a casino, retreat and spa, sport facilities, palm gardens, public amenities and 24 furnished apartments. The entire development has been done in great style, with eco-finishings and facilities to match Kenya's environment and climate. Unlike Briatore's 'Lion in the Sun' development, the Billionaires Resort will not host a hotel. Apartments are however available to potential owners, with the possibility of apartment renting for a luxury holiday. The resort will link to neighboring Marine Park and Beach, where shared facilities will be on offer. It is said that the Billionaires Resort attracted great interest, and that Briatore is considering to expand the number of luxury suites to satisfy the demand. Some of the resort facilities such as the beach restaurant are however continuously accessible to public day-visitors. According to Briatore, the resort will allow visitors to admire Africa's natural beauty by day, but at night the facility will remind of Monte Carlo with all its glam.
Although this top-end development in Kenya will remain exclusive with housing components only available to a limited few, it does pave the way for Kenya tourism in many ways. There are even talks of upgrading the local runway at the Malindi airport. Kenya is one of Africa's top safari destinations and with luxury holiday resort developments like the Billionaires Resort, we can expect to see Kenya attracting even further international investments and travel attention. And the visitors, tourists and safari enthusiasts will be rewarded with a pleasant and even luxurious African experience.

A new way to eat wood
Cellulose made from wood pulp has been added to foods from shredded cheese to salad dressing since the 1970s, but making the wood palatable has required strong acids and the process can produce environmentally challenging effluents. Enter maple fiber: the result of breaking apart wood from red maple trees using nothing except water.
View red maple trees with autumn colors.
The molecules that create structure in fruits and vegetables and trees are chemically identical. The main issue with eating a tree is our inability to break down the wood fibers. They are impermeable to water, enzymes and chewing in our months. In fact, there are no animals that eat wood. Even in the winter, when food supplies are limited, deer and beavers only eat the bark or growing shoots of trees.
But once freed cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin from wood can provide a valuable source of roughage in processed foods. They can address a chronic lack of fiber in the typical US diet and have some useful additional properties. Cellulose binds water and can help to extend the shelf-life of baked goods. It is also a good emulsifier.

An award-winner whose time has come?
I was in the audience when the Plantrose process, used in the production of maple fiber, won an EPA Green Chemistry Award in 2015. It was fascinating. One of my first jobs on leaving university was working for Courtaulds in the UK developing the Tencel/lyocell process. We worked with N-methylmorpholine N-oxide. A powerful solvent and a potentially explosive process dissolves woodchips. This creates a thick cellulose solution which can be extruded to create a new form of cotton for clothing. I was amazed to learn, decades later, that cellulose could be released just using water!
Stop short of sugar
The original Plantrose process focuses on breaking down cellulose, a glucose polymer, into individual glucose (sugar) units. Supercritical water is used to hydrolyze cellulose, breaking apart the bonds that hold the structure together. The crystalline domains are literally melted using water under extreme heat and pressure.
Conditions are controlled in the maple fiber process so that the cellulose, lignin and other non-starch polysaccharides are released – but they are not completely broken down to sugars. They remain as cellulose polymers. Free from the structure of the wood they are ready to be combined with other ingredients in foods.

Is maple fiber good to eat?
I think so. I noticed maple fiber as one of the ingredients in Nowadays meatless chicken nuggets and was delighted to discover that this was the commercialization of the technology I had admired in that awards ceremony. I'm always interested in trying new plant-based protein foods – and this one is a hit in our house!

Mueller report: Attorney general says probe found 'no collusion' between Trump campaign and Russia
By Jeremy Herb and Laura Jarrett, CNN
(CNN) -- Attorney General William Barr defended his conclusion there was no evidence of obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump, as he prepares to release a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report.
The redacted report, which is nearly 400 pages, will fill in some -- but likely not all -- of the details explaining what Mueller's team uncovered during the 22-month investigation that's hung like a cloud over Trump's presidency while the special counsel investigated possible collusion between Trump's team and Russia and any possible obstruction of justice.
Barr said at a press conference Thursday morning that Mueller's report did not find "collusion" between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
"After nearly two years of investigation, thousands of subpoenas, and hundreds of warrants and witness interviews, the special counsel confirmed that the Russian government sponsored efforts to illegally interfere with the 2016 presidential election, but did not find that the Trump campaign or other Americans colluded in those schemes," Barr said.
10 episodes of potential obstruction by Trump
Mueller's investigation examined 10 episodes involving the President and potential obstruction of justice, Barr said.
Mueller did not make a "traditional prosecutorial judgment" on the obstruction question, Barr said. Instead, Barr said he concluded the evidence was "not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense."
"The President took no act that in fact deprived the special counsel of the documents and witnesses necessary to complete his investigation," Barr said.
"Apart from whether the acts were obstructive, this evidence of non-corrupt motives weighs heavily against any allegation that the President had a corrupt intent to obstruct the investigation," he added.
Barr said the President's lawyers were permitted to read the redacted version of the report, but the President would not assert executive privilege.
Fight over full report
Read the full redacted Mueller report
Attorney General William Barr has released a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report detailing the findings of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Democrats have demanded to see Mueller's full, unredacted report, charging that Barr cannot be trusted to provide an accurate accounting of Mueller's findings as a Trump political appointee who previously argued against the merits of an obstruction case against the President.
Congressional Democrats rose up in anger at Barr's decision to hold a press conference before the release of the report. Five House Democratic committee chairs said in a joint statement Wednesday night that Barr should cancel the press conference and slammed Barr.
"With the Special Counsel's fact-gathering work concluded, it is now Congress' responsibility to assess the findings and evidence and proceed accordingly," the joint statement read.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer jointly called for Mueller to testify before Congress publicly, saying there was a "crisis of confidence" in Barr's independence and impartiality.
"We believe the only way to begin restoring public trust in the handling of the special counsel's investigation is for special counsel Mueller himself to provide public testimony in the House and Senate as soon as possible," they said.
Democrats have been particularly suspicious at the fact that Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein made the decision there was not sufficient evidence to prosecute such a case, especially in light of reports that some on Mueller's team have told others they were unsatisfied with Barr's characterization of the investigation.
President Trump celebrates release of redacted Mueller report
In a series of tweets on Wednesday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler questioned why Barr was having a press conference to explain the report at all, saying he was "deeply troubled by reports" the White House had been briefed on the report ahead of release, as The New York Times reported. He likewise said it was "wrong" for the Justice Department to time the release of the redacted report to Congress for after Barr's press conference.
Congress will get to see a little bit more of Mueller's report and his findings than the general public once the report is delivered to them.
Federal prosecutors said in a court filing related to the case against Trump associate Roger Stone on Wednesday that there would be two versions of the redacted special counsel report, with one for public release and another, less redacted, version for a limited number of members of Congress.
Congressional Democrats have already authorized a subpoena for the full report and the underlying evidence, and they urged Barr to change course and provide them an unredacted version. They're likely to move forward now with the subpoena, which could spark a court battle between House Democrats and the Trump administration.
Barr said Thursday he would redact four types of information before making the report public: grand jury material, classified material, material about ongoing investigations and "information that would unduly infringe on the personal privacy and reputational interests of peripheral third parties."
This story is breaking and will be updated.

Chelsea take the FA Cup after beating, with more pain than glory, a Manchester United who tried until the last minute. Those of Conte were ahead on the scoreboard in the first half and endured the onslaughts of some 'red devils' who accused the lack of marksmanship. The Italian coach will leave Chelsea, as everything seems to indicate, with a new title. Mourinho , for his part, says goodbye to the season without titles. The first part offered a very disputed duel. Chelsea and Manchester United sought to have control of the ball in the early stages of the match. It was United who managed to take possession, leaving Chelsea to merit the contras led by an active Hazard . The 'red devils' had the ball but the domain was not translated, much less at times.
In fact it was Chelsea who enjoyed the first clear. Hazard , after getting rid of Jones in the peak of the area, launched a whip that De Gea repelled as he could. The Belgian started warning. And the one who warns is not a traitor. Cesc long ball for Hazard that, with a masterful control, gets away from Jones and, when he had De Gea to shot, the English central sweeps him. Penalty that the Belgian was not going to fail. Chelsea went further back, if possible, to try to close the first half with a very valuable result seeing the merits of both sets. And he got it. United could barely enjoy a couple of chances from Rashford and Pogba to tie the game.
In the second half the superiority of United was still more palpable. The possession and, now yes, the occasions were a true monopoly. Chelsea was shrinking water but it seemed that the goal of the 'red devils' was not going to take long to arrive. Rashford and Pogba had really clear occasions but the minutes were slowly happening. Mourinho's changes gave his team fresh air. But not enough. Chelsea, in turn, handled well in the contras. Marcos Alonso , after a personal move by Kanté , could put the game back on track but he fell asleep and De Gea ruined the occasion. United continued to try but immense Courtois and the lack of precision in the last few meters hindered the attempts of the 'red devils'. The scoreboard was no longer going to move and Chelsea would take the FA Cup.


If you walked into the Toronto Plaza Hotel today you probably wouldn't notice anything — the carpets are a bit more worn, a few paper signs in Arabic linger on the walls — little evidence that for the past few months, this building was packed with hundreds of Syrian refugees.

If you walked into the Toronto Plaza Hotel today you probably wouldn't notice anything — the carpets are a bit more worn, a few paper signs in Arabic linger on the walls — little evidence that for the past few months, this building was packed with hundreds of Syrian refugees. A portion of the 25,000 refugees the federal government brought to Canada.
While at the hotel, an immigrant settlement organization called COSTI helped the newcomers get their kids into school, start English classes, and most importantly, find a place to live. But locating homes for the close to 1,800 refugees in Toronto is tough — very tough. As the weeks and months rolled on this hotel wasn't just a stop gap — for many it became a temporary home ... and the hotel began to take on a life of its own.
Producers Yasmine Hassan, Craig Desson and Julia Pagel. Hotel Limbo was collaboration between three producers. We worked as equals — sharing in the work of reporting, writing and editing of our documentary.
This is unusual in radio documentary production and in media organizations overall, where job specialization and hierarchy are most common because, frankly, it's an efficient way to work.
What you gain though, when you're part of a team where nobody is the boss of another, is you're forced to move past your own creative boundaries, habits and old tricks. You get to view another person's process from beginning to finish, and have your own process examined too.
Julia Pagel is currently the associate producer of The Doc Project radio program. She's also worked at other CBC Radio programs such as As It Happens, q and Metro Morning.
Craig Desson is a producer at CBC Radio. He previously worked at the Toronto Star, TVO and Journalists for Human Rights.
Yasmine Hassan is an associate producer at CBC Radio. She's currently working on documentaries for Metro Morning.

Electoral College explained
When you cast a vote, you're not really voting for the president, but rather a group of people to vote for them called the Electoral College. Many voters may not know what the Electoral College is, or why it exists. Here is an explanation of the Presidential Election's extra step.
The Electoral College is a group of people appointed by each state who officially elect the next president of the United States.
In the Constitution, it states the number of electors of each state has. Florida has 29 electoral votes for this election.
There have been 538 electors in each presidential election since 1964. The number of electors is the same as the number of the voting members of the U.S. congress: 435 representatives, 100 senators, and 3 electors from D.C.
During a race, the presidential candidates are trying to add up states in order to reach just over 270 electoral votes (almost half of 538) and win the election.
The number of electors in a state is based on its population size. Every decade, the number of electors per state can change based on the decennial census.
California has the most electoral votes with 55. Texas falls in second place with 38, and Florida and New York are tied with 29 votes each with the third most electoral votes.
Whichever candidate wins in Florida gets all 29 electoral votes. The other candidate would get no electoral votes from Florida at all.
There are states that parties can count on for electoral votes, with a long history of voting for that party. Some of the Democrat's Safe States are Ore., Md., and Mich. Some Republican Safe States include Miss., Kan., and Ala.
Unpredictable states, or Swing States include Fla. and Ohio.
A candidate can gain the presidency even when losing the popular vote (cast by voters) by winning the electoral vote. This has happened only five times in the nation's history — once with Bush in 2000, and most recently with Trump in 2016.
Many Americans think the Electoral College should not be used any longer. Does society still need the Electoral College?
Data also shows that most of the people who want to keep the system in place are Republicans.
The American Bar Association (ABA) states that "The basis for the Electoral College is found in Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution, which spells out how the president shall be chosen. It gives each state 'in such manner as the legislature thereof may direct' electors equal to its representation in Congress.
The national polls give you an idea of who many people might favor, but don't display who may actually win. When you're watching the election coverage with the big map of the U.S. on the screen, make sure you got a calculator, so you can start adding up the electoral votes to keep track of who's really gonna be the next President of the United States.

For decades, the St. Xavier Church rectory building was home to a community of Jesuits dedicated to the work of reconciliation, faith, and service. Ignatius House seeks to continue that historic mission today. Members of this young adult lay intentional community make a one-year commitment to Ignatian Spirituality, ongoing service in Cincinnati, and building community while maintaining their current full-time employment. With the guidance of a part-time Community Coordinator, participants are invited to grow in their faith and challenged to consider what it means to be companions in the pursuit of justice. By living together at the rectory building and through their visible commitment to Jesuit values and mission, this community also serves as a gathering space for other persons inspired to understand how to incorporate a life of faith and justice into young adulthood.
There are currently 3 rooms available.
The home of Ignatius House is the former St. Xavier Church rectory building. Members of the Ignatius House community make a one-year commitment with the possibility of a second year. Members actively participate in community formation through regular prayer and reflection, shared meals, and other house gatherings. Each member contributes their share of housing cost and other expenses through outside employment.
Located next to St. Xavier Church, Ignatius House provides a spiritual home at the footsteps of the financial district. Guided by the principles of Ignatian Spirituality and Jesuit values, this community supports emerging leaders in integrating the service of faith and the promotion of justice. Members of Ignatius House participate in faith formation grounded in Ignatian Spirituality.
Ignatius House members make an ongoing commitment to direct service in the city. Placements include work in transitional housing, social entrepreneurship, addiction recovery, and restorative justice among others. Combined with communal reflections, this service experience helps members grow in their understanding of major justice issues present in Cincinnati and learn how they can respond individually and as a community.

PETAR NIKIC
After a courageous battle with cancer Petar Nikic, a resident of Princeton was admitted to the Princeton General Hospital on the morning of his 71st birthday. He passed away peacefully the next morning with family at his side. Petar was born in Kijevo, Bosnia i Hercegovina in 1938, married in 1962, and resided in Croatia until he immigrated to Canada in 1975. Petar worked as a logger in Princeton and took up farming at 611 Hall Road upon retirement. He loved hunting, fishing, gardening, laughing, gourmet meals and being with friends and family. Petar touched the lives of many with his story-telling, generosity and he maintained his trademark sense of humour all the way to the end. Petar will forever be loved and remembered by his devoted wife of 51 years, Ruza (Rosi) Nikic; beloved children, Tony Nikic (Rita Jordison), Vera Hilario (Joe Hilario), Marilyn Nikic (Jack Morgandinho), Mark Nikic and Kathi Nikic; and by his treasured grandchildren; Christine Nikic, Candace Nikic, Petar Nikic Jr. , Amanda Hilario, Matthew Hilario, Thomas Hilario, Ashley McKenzie, Katelyn McKenzie, and Riley Nikic; as well as the countless other family and friends whom were blessed to know him. Family and friends were invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial at 11am on Monday, August 31, 2009 at St. Peter's Catholic Church. The Nikic Family would like to express their sincere gratitude for all the support, warm regards and prayers received during Petar's most difficult time. A special thank you to Dr. John & Sylvia Adams and the staff at Vermilion Medical Center, the medical staff at the Penticton and Kelowna Cancer Agency, to Jacqueline & the homecare nurses at Princeton Health Center,
The Red Cross, the nurses & paramedics at Princeton General, and to the staff at Shopper's Pharmacy in Princeton. A heartfelt thank you to neighbours Abe, Mona & Ernie Willis for all their hard work and help with the farm.
