Angry Residents Demand Closure of Green Village
(Last Updated On: September 3, 2019)
Dozens of Kabul residents staged a protest on Tuesday, demanding the closure of Green Village – a compound for foreign workers and international organizations which was targeted by a tractor bomb last night in Kabul.
The bombing which was claimed by the Taliban insurgent group killed at least 16 people and injured 119 others, mostly Afghan civilians.
The compound has been targeted by the Taliban insurgent group several times, leaving casualties and destruction to nearby civilian houses.
Today, angry protesters set fire to a number of vehicles belonging to the fortified compound and demanded that the foreigners leave.
"We don't want this camp here. We want the camp to be shut down," a protester told Ariana News reporter.
"We are suffering due to the existence of this camp. We will not let them here anymore," another protester said.
Later on, the protest turned violent and protesters engaged in physical clashes with police forces. Sporadic gunfire could be heard as the police battled demonstrators.
Protesters did not allow firefighters to stop the fire until Tuesday noon.
"We stopped the fire last night but the fire broke out after the demonstrators engaged in violence," said General Arif, the Head of Kabul Fire Department.
On the other hand, the bombing has changed the area to ruins and completely destroyed many houses and a fuel pump.
"Eight members of my family were inside the house when the bombing took place. Five members were injured and you can see the destruction with your eyes," Abdul Saboor, a victim of the incident said.

Story 1 This part of Terrace Park was known as the Sibley subdivision so Sibleys owned all of the surrounding land. They certainly had gardens (with many flowers and especially lovely peonies) where the 313 Harvard house now is and a swimming pool where 313's garage is. A lot was sold off for building 313.
Story 2 2 different stories from Sibley/Lloyd relatives: From Liz Lloyd - house built for Henrietta (Sibley - daughter of James Hastings Sibley) & Sam Lloyd. From Sam Hicks - J. W. Sibley's house where he planned to stay a year or two and stayed until he died in 1893. In fact James W. Sibley, the developer, built this house for his son James Hastings Sibley. When the census was taken in 1900 James Hastings Sibley and his wife Cicely Burt Sibley were living here with their daughter Henrietta Sibley, her husband Samuel W. Lloyd and their daughter Cicely B. Lloyd. According to the Cincinnati City Directories from 1880 on, James Whitelaw Sibley lived on Grandin Road in Cincinnati. After his death in 1893 his widow, Mary, moved to Locust Street in Cincinnati.
Story 3 Leslie Jones says Aunt Hattie baby sat for her and her brother as children.
Story 4 This home was on the 2002 Heritage House Tour.
Story 5 Railroad Houses (from 2008 House Tour) James Whitelaw Sibley is responsible for developing more of Terrace Park than any other person. He was born February 20, 1816 in Montpelier, Washington County, Vermont and came west through New York state where he married Mary Alida Hastings in Clinton, Oneida County, New York, September 9, 1840. He settled in Cincinnati as a Commission Merchant. By 1880 he and his family were living on Grandin Road in Hyde Park where he remained until his death, April 6, 1893. It wasnt until 1886 that deeds show him buying up land in what became Terrace Park. He established four subdivisions: South of Oxford to the north side of Amherst in 1886, Myrtle to Miami and Marietta beyond Stanton to the bluff in 1890, Amherst to Marietta and Yale to Miami in 1891 and the south side of Amherst from Elm to Floral in 1892. By then he was 76 years old. Once he had some land he needed to start building houses. It looks as if he then found a Cincinnati architect, bought plans for a house from him for $25 and started building homes using this plan. These are the ones that have become known as railroad houses. Perhaps they should have been called Sibley houses since all of them are in his subdivisions. Why they were called railroad houses remains a mystery since it does not appear that they were built either by the railroad or for railroad employees. Certainly it was well know that there was easy rail transportation from this newly developing area into Cincinnati for work. The first home he built still stands, now greatly enlarged, at 311 Harvard Avenue for his eldest son James Hastings Sibley. He too was first listed in the 1880 and 1890 census as a Commission Merchant like his father but by the 1893 Cincinnati City Directory was listed as a Real Estate agent living in Terrace Park. Before that he and his brother were helping father. In 1887 J. W. Sibley built 306 Rugby Avenue, also now greatly enlarged, for his next son Frank Hastings Sibley. He also built homes for the West (203 Marietta Avenue) and Bellville families (710 and 716 Floral Avenue) as well as for the Lucius and Amanda Conking family at 615 Amherst Avenue in 1892. Stella Galloway Boone wrote a paper for the Terrace Park Garden Club in 1942 in which she lists 17 railroad houses. Exactly how each one looked when it was first built we will probably never know, but there seems to have been some variation as in 615 Amherst Avenue. Most have had significant additions but are still recognizable as houses built by the Sibley family in the 1880s and 90s. It seems sad the James Whitelaw Sibley died just as Terrace Park was becoming incorporated. According to Ellis Rawnsley both he and his son, Frank H. Sibley, were among the founding fathers of Terrace Park.

Vasul Aalto, sau probabil mult mai corect, desemnând numele realizatorilor, Vasul lui Aalto (conform originalului din finlandeză, Aalto-maljakko), cunoscut, de asemenea ca Vasul Savoy, este o piesă de sticlărie și o piesă emblematică de design finlandez, realizată de arhitecții Alvar Aalto și Aino Marsio (prima sa soție) în 1936.

Istoric

Inițial vaza a fost proiectată la fabrica de sticlă Karhula-Iittala pentru participarea la un concurs de proiectare organizat de firma A. Ahlström Oy în 1936. Modelul a fost inspirat de costumul tradițional al femeilor lapone și numele proiectului a fost Eskimåkvinnans skinnbyxa (Pantalonii bufanți de piele ai unei eschimose). După concurs, vaza a fost expusă la Expoziția Mondială de la Paris din 1937.

Denumire

Traducerea în limba română a numelui vazei sub denominalizarea de Vasul ondulat sau Vasul unduitor rezidă, probabil, dintr-un joc involuntar de cuvinte. Numele de familie al creatorului vasului, Aalto, însemnă, într-adevăr undă sau val dar această coincidență nu are nici o legătură cu forma vasului pentru că autorii nu au participat la concurs sub nume propriu ci sub numele proprietarului A. Ahlström. Numele sub care a fost cunoscut mai târziu, Savoy, l-a primit mai târziu provenind de la restaurantul Savoy care cumpărase drepturile de autor asupra vazei.

Drepturi de autor și Artek

Din păcate, designerii vazei, soții Alvar și Aino Aalto, n-au primit niciodată drepturi de autor pentru că, înainte de a fi vândute restaurantului Savoy aceste drepturi au fost deținute de firma organizatoare a concursului A. Ahlström Oy. Proprietarul și directorul acesteia, Harry Gullichsen, împreună cu soția sa, Maire Gullichsen, i-a încredințat lui Alvar Aalto, drept recompensă, mobilarea și decorarea etajelor 7 și 8 din Palatului Industrial Ahlström de pe Esplanada de Sud din Helsinki unde funcționa restaurantul Savoy.

De fapt, familia Gullichsen a fost cea sub al cărei patronaj Alvar Aalto a creat produsele sale de design cunoscute, recunoscute și vandabile. În plus, Maire Gullichsen, a fost cea care a contribuit cu capital la crearea firmei Artek, firmă care urma să realizeze și să comercializeze produsele de design ale soților Aino și Alvar Aalto.

Realizarea vazei

Prototipurile inițiale au fost create de soții Aalto prin suflarea sticlei în mijlocul unei structuri de bețe de lemn aflată într-o groapă în pământ, și ghidând curgerea sticlei numai în anumite direcții pentru crearea formei sale ondulate. Fabricarea inițială a vazei se realiza prin turnarea sticlei topite într-o formă de lemn care apoi se ardea încet pentru a scoate vaza. În prezent se produce la Iittala, prin turnare. Păstrând același model se produce o gamă largă de vaze de mărimi și culori diferite.

Ca o curiozitate, se poate menționa fabricarea în anul 2008, din cuarț, acelei mai mici vaze Aalto înaltă de numai 600 de nanometri și cu volumul de 0,1 femtolitri. În termeni macroscopici, pentru a umple cu această nano-vază un vas de un litru ar trebui să repetăm transvazarea de 10 milioane de miliarde de ori. Vaza de cuarț a fost fabricată la Teknillinen korkeakoulu (Politehnica din Helsinki), viitoarea Academie Aalto, în laboratoarele  de micro- și nano-tehnologir folosind instalația Focused Ion Beam. Avantajul acestei vaze este că, dacă este scăpată pe jos nu se sparge iar dezavantajul, că trebuie căutată cu microscopul electronic.

Popularitate

Vasul a fost fabricat de-a lungul anilor într-un spectru foarte larg de culori. Simplitatea, frumusețea și eleganța vasului continuă să fie atractive și populare și în secolul al 21-lea. Versiuni mai mici ale vasului, exact cum era designul inițial al lui Aalto, cu striațiuni fine în model și cu o ușoară curbă la bază continuă să fie produse prin presarea sticlei topite la fabrica de sticlă Iittala din Iittala, Finlanda. Sunt produse de asemenea și versiuni mai mari ale vasului, dar fără striațiunile originalului.

The Lanesborough, London
Posted in Projects on 12 August, 2015
The Lanesborough is now proud and ready to reopen its decorative doors. Located in the heart of London, the hotel once again has regained its status as one of London's finest hotels. Hamish Kilburn reports…
Sitting beautifully in all its antiquity between Knightsbridge and Belgravia, The Lanesborough London is not just an iconic part of the historic city, but stands too, as a significant landmark within the European hospitality landscape. Its latest renovation echoes its illustrious ethos of class, quality and the highest level of sophistication.
Until now the hotel, which boasts one of London's most celebrated addresses, had been closed since the end of 2013. With the aim of re-affirming its position as London's finest, The Lanesborough has undergone its first complete renovation since the Regency-era property was converted into a hotel more than 20 years ago.
Under Oetker Collection management, the overhaul of the grade-II listed building has embodied the signature style that has become synonymous with The Lanesborough over its long history. Frank Marrenbach, CEO Oetker Collection says, "With its strategic location in the heart of London, The Lanesborough, with managing director Geoffrey Gelardi at its helm, is a prestigious addition to our portfolio… [The hotel is] a major step for our development."
Time and effort has been spent on the ornate refurbishment of the building. More than 300 people have been involved in the day-to-day transformation of the 93 rooms and meticulous attention to detail has been paid to keep The Lanesborough as a building of special architectural and historic interest.
Renowned interior designer, Alberto Pinto, and leading architects, ReardonSmith, worked together keeping the hotel's Georgian heritage at the centre of the design, while modernising the hotel by seamlessly weaving in the latest communication technologies and entertainment systems.
Studio Alberto Pinto led the design philosophy and treated the hotel as a private residence, to reinforce the implementation of new designs to all public areas and guestrooms.
Completing the refurbishment of all public areas as well as back-of-house areas, ReardonSmith reviewed the hotel room by room and decided what should be retained, rebuilt, restored, refurbished or replaced in order to fulfil the brief.
The Front Hall
Keeping the property's Regency origins at the heart of the restoration, the re-opened hotel adds modern and historical twists. This provides a matchless layer of styles, reflecting the graceful maturing of an operational historic building.
The lobby area has remained largely untouched. Minor changes have been made though, such as the introduction of a pantry and the relocation of the concierge desk.
A particular focus has been paid to the ceilings throughout the hotel. With restoration of original detailing such as ceiling roses, coffering, cornicing and fresco painting – look up and you will see hand-painted narratives of traditional country pursuits such as hunting and horse riding. An impressive 2,100 books of 23-½-carat gold leaf were used to dress the ceilings of the public areas and guestrooms, reimagining the property's Regency heritage. Throughout the building on the walls, original 18th-century art can be found.
Upstairs, the guestrooms and suites have been revitalised to an impeccable standard. While the signature mahogany panelling in the rooms remain, it is now complimented with hand stencilling. Indeed, throughout the hotel an impressive 5,500 original stencils, hand crafted by Dolby & Taylor, have been used to create a variety of effects on the hotel's walls.
Each room includes its own entrance foyer, a writing desk and seating area, a bathroom of hand-cut Italian marble, and a tablet for effortless control of room conditions to suit each guest's preference.
There are now five-guestroom designs that reflect the Regency period, although the reality of the various configurations within each group means that no two rooms are exactly the same. Each design group consists of three jewel colour ways to create warmth, harmony and comfort. 14 different types of bed canopies hang within the rooms, with more than three million hand stiches and bespoke tailoring using the highest quality fabrics.
The majority of suppliers used for the renovation, such as Bennison Fabrics, George Smith Furniture and Brintons Carpets, are British based. Exceptions include the French-sourced fabrics companies, such as Braquenié, Le Manach, Pierre Frey, Toscan, Verrier and Linge au Coeur, which produced the embroideries of The Royal Suite and the Withdrawing Room.
Guests at The Lanesborough can now enjoy the ultimate dining experience at Céleste, which has been fully refitted to reflect the Regency-inspired-design brief, with new hand-modelled frieze panels to match the new plaster ceilings. Seven individually designed private dining rooms offer elegant event spaces, the largest accommodating 180 guests for a reception.
A hotel of this calibre deserved nothing less than the highest standard of quality treatment to both preserve its heritage, while leading innovation in hotel design. The Lanesborough has re-opened 93 guestrooms and suites and multiple bars, as well the Fitness Studio and The Spa Studio, where guests can relax in an exclusive sanatorium, while enjoying a supreme selection of therapies and treatments.
The Lanesborough showcases the best in traditional British craftsmanship. At last, after two years' closure, The Lanesborough is once again one of London's most distinguished hotels. The wait is over.

Sixteen countries have pledged to sustain local communities of African transit countries by investing in relevant regions and creating new job opportunities, in the plight to manage migration flow.
During a ministerial conference entitled "A shared responsibility for a common goal: solidarity and security", held in Rome, ministers from eight European Union member states, including Malta, and eight African countries adopted a joint declaration that sets out a number of actions to be jointly implemented in order to achieve a cooperative, integrated approach towards migration flow management.
The joint declaration aims at sustaining and supporting initiatives to address migrant smuggling, to mitigate the suffering of migrants stranded in transit countries, and to support local host communities and the efforts of the local authorities, together with the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) and the United Nations' Refugee Agency (UNHCR).
Outlining a number of measures, the ministers agreed to investing the relevant regions within African transit countries by creating new job opportunities for the local population, especially women and the young. They also pledged to support hosting communities, with regard to rural development, food and nutrition security, health, education and social protection.
According to the declaration, the 16 countries will also focus on increasing international mobilisation in the fight against smugglers and human trafficking networks by building on existing instruments, notably the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, and supporting national capabilities in transit countries.
Additionally, the countries will work to protect migrants and refugees by increasing the capacity of IOM and UNHCR, as well as host governments, to assist migrants and refugees in Transit countries, while improving the existing channels of regular migration.
The declaration was signed by the ministers of foreign affairs and development cooperation and other representatives of Malta, Algeria, Austria, Chad, Egypt, Estonia, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Italy, Libya, The Netherlands, Niger, Spain, Sudan, and Tunisia, as well as the Deputy High Commissioner of UNHCR and the Director General of IOM.


Masking effects in silicon during wet chemical and dry etching can be utilized by means of silicon doping with high concentration as well as by silicon surface modification with ion beams. The masking effect occurs on p+-layers when silicon is doped by a sufficiently high concentration of boron. The same effect has been found for gallium which is also a p-type dopant in silicon.
For maskless nano-patterning of silicon gallium is of special interest because it is used in most focused ion beam (FIB) tools. Ga+ FIB irradiation of semiconductors for different purposes is a well established technique and the beam diameter can be optimized nowadays down to 10 nm. Combining Ga+ FIB implantation into (100)-oriented silicon with subsequent selective and anisotropic wet chemical etching (e.g. in KOH), 3D silicon structures on the nanometer scale can be fabricated due to etch rate retardation at Ga+ FIB-treated silicon areas when the Ga concentration in Si exceeds 5 x 1019 cm-3.
Figure: Ga implantation profiles in Si as a function of fluence. At a Ga concentration above a critical value of 5 x 1019 cm-3 a selective etch behaviour can be found.
Figure: Ga doped (p++) Si nanowires between contact pads, which have a width of smaller than 200 nm and a thickness of approx. 30-50 nm (left and middle). Nano nozzles, after FIB point irradiation and etching of a thin Si membrane (right). The thickness of the nozzle walls is smaller than 50 nm.
In the modern silicon based technology the monolithic integration of nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS) with microelectronic components plays an increasing role. Structures, like nanowires, bridges or cantilevers are important constituents for this purpose. NEMS show an enormous sensitivity to temperature, force or to added mass. Therefore, device design, materials processing, fabrication and integration are big challenges for future nanotechnologies. The high exibility of this patterning process and direct design at a spatial resolution in theorder of 10 nm achieved in modern FIB systems is a big advantage for the fabrication of freely suspended semiconductor nanostructures compared to other surface nanomachining and bulk micromachining processes.
Local Ga+ FIB implantation has been applied to define Si nanowires' dimensions. After subsequent etching the nanowires are suspended and unsupported over an air gap between the nanowire and the buried oxide of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate.
Figure: Schematic illustration of the nanowire fabrication process.
The line fluence ΦL was varied between 1011 and 4 x 1012 cm-1 leading to different nanowire widths due to the beam profile of the FIB. The thickness of the nanowire can be estimated to about 54 nm from the depth of the implanted profile for 30 keV Ga+ into Si, and from the critical Ga concentration for etch retardation. The estimated value of 54 nm is in a good agreement with FIB cross-section measurements delivering 55 nm. Wire dimensions as small as 20 to 200 nm in width can be achieved.
Figure: SEM image of nanowires implanted with an ion beam current of 10 pA. ΦL decreases from 4 x 1012 to 1011 cm-1 from left to right, apparent by the decrease of the nanowire width.
The nanowire width is increasing with the implanted line fluence ΦL. The qualitative behaviour of the wire width responding to ΦL can be separated into two regions: up to ΦL of about 1012 cm-1 the width increases rapidly; beyond this line fluence the correlation becomes nearly linear.
Figure: Width of the Si nanowires as a function of the implanted line fluence. The experimental data were obtained using different FIB currents and spot sizes.
Combining the approximation of the FIB intensity profile by a bi-Gaussian function with SRIM/TRIM simulations, the response of the wire width to the implanted line fluence can be reproduced (solid line in the figure above) by the calculation of implantation profiles and the subsequent evaluation of the exceedance of the threshold concentration for etch retardation.
Figure: Cross-section of the implantation profile of a Si nanowire showing the Ga concentration. The solid line shows the Ga concentration of about 4 x 1019 cm-3 for etch retardation.
Two terminal measurements of the nanowires were performed at different temperatures. The nanowires showed an semiconductive behaviour in the range of -15 to 95 °C (figure (a)). The resistivity decreases rapidly for increasing ΦL (due to surface to volume ratio) and fades to saturation for higher ΦL (figure (b)). The resistivity increase rapidly for lower temperatures down to 50 K (figure (c)).
Figure: Electrical properties of the nanowires. (a) I-V characteristics in the range from -15 to 95 °C. (b) Wire resistivity as a function of implanted line fluence. (c) Resistance as a function of temperature for lower temperatures.
Thus, the resistivity of the nanowires can be tailored by process parameters.

HMS Hood je bila britanska bojna ladja iz obdobja druge svetovne vojne. Spadala je v razred britanskih bojnih križark Admiral. V ta razred so spadale še: HMS Anson, HMS Howe in HMS Rodney. Ladja je bila naročena leta 1916 še v času prve svetovne vojne. Po bitki pri Jutlandiji so zaradi novih spoznan njeno konstrukcijo drastično spremenili. Gradnja ladje je zaradi tega zamujala. Splovili so jo 22. avgusta 1918, v uporabo britanski kraljevi mornarici pa so jo predali 15. maja 1920. Ime je dobila po admiralu iz 18. stoletja, Samuelu Hoodu.

V medvojnem obdobju je bila največja bojna ladja na svetu, zaradi česar jo je poznal celi svet. Med novembrom 1923 in septembrom 1924 je v spremstvu ostalih križark obkrožila svet in obiskovala različne države. V letih 1929 in 1930 so ladjo temeljito modernizirali. Ladja je bila v tridesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja v stalni uporabi zato je postajala vedno bolj izrabljena kar je povzročalo določene težave še posebej pri njeni hitrosti. Ker je kazalo, da bo v kratkem izbruhnila vojna se je britanska mornarica ni upala začasno umakniti iz uporabe.

Ob izbruhu druge svetovne vojne je patruljirala v vodah okoli Islandije in Ferskih otokov. Septembra 1939 jo je zadela 250 kg letalska bomba, ki pa ni povzročila večje škode. Julija je sodelovala v operaciji Katapult v kateri je obstreljevala francosko ladjevje v Mers-el-Kabiru. Nato se je vrnila v vode okoli Velike Britanije ter jih varovala pred nemško invazijo.

Maja se je na lov za zavezniškimi konvoji podala nemška bojna ladja Bismarck in težka križarka Prinz Eugen. HMS Hood v spremstvu nove ladje HMS Prince of Wales so poslali naj nemški ladji severno od Islandije prestreže ter jima prepreči vstop v Atlantik. Štiriindvajsetega maja sta se nemški in britanski ladji srečali v Danskem prelivu med Grelandijo in Islandijo. Vnela se je bitka v kateri sta si obe strani izmenjali številne strele in dosegle tudi nekaj zadetkov, ki pa za nobeno od ladij niso bili usodni. Nato pa je bila ob 06.00, samo enajst minut po tem ko se je začel boj, iz Bismarcka na razdalji 15 do 18 km na Hood izstreljena peta in zadnja salva. Ena izmed granat je Hood zadela v polno, ladja je v trenutku zadetka eksplodirala ter se v treh minutah potopila. Od 1,418 članov posadke so preživeli le trije.

Danes razbitine ladje, ki so bile odkrite leta 2001 ležijo 3,000m pod morsko gladino. Razbitine ladje so v skoraj neprepoznavnem stanju zaradi eksplozije streliva, do katere je prišlo med bojem. Kaj točno se je z ladjo dogajalo med bojem in kaj je vplivalo na njeno tako hitro potopitev še danes ni povsem pojasnjeno.

"Woke" is slang for socially aware. Sometimes resulting in protests.
We used to just call it whiny. Potato, potahto.
This doesn't bode well for the kid, it's already behind bars.
Now if only those who are 'woke' would grow a brain. Until then they are just a 'joke'.
He's going to organize a crawl.


Handcrafted from exotic demolition hardwoods, our Bailey Dresser is unique from each other. Its lovely walnut finish gives it a lovely two-toned appeal, while its white oak drawer fronts offer a gorgeous contrast to the rest of the dresser. With 2 large cabinets on either side with a Z-shaped design of 5 drawers, this dresser offers tons of storage space! Its unqiue drawer knobs gives it that modern appeal that is further enhanced by its two long legs that give the dresser a floating effect.


First I gessoed, then I stamped the bird, masked it and spritzed with Dylusion spray. Colored the bird, stamped some more - all other stamps besides the crazy bird are by Ryn Tanaka - her stamps and those birds just go so well together!
Added black splatters and finished it off with varnish. The whole project took a while - stuff needs to dry in between those steps.
and here he is again - Mr. Dapper - I love him!
And did I mention the splatters?
today is the fifth and sadly the last day of our blog hop at STAMPlorations, but there will be more in the future, I promise!
Added Washi tape in the background and embossed a scrap piece of card stock with a Sizzix Embossing Folder. The giraffe is by YNS - I colored it with Copics and fuzzy cut it. The sentiment and inlaid triangle die cut is also by YNS. I mounted the Kraft panel with foam tape.
today is the fourth day of our blog hop at STAMPlorations - are you having fun? I sure do!
This is a real easy card to make. Took that stencil, spritzed it with Dylusion spray , put it on watercolor paper and ran it through my Big Shot. Added the daisy and put Stickles into the center, although it dos not show well in the picture, but in real life it sparkles beautifully!!!! Lastly added the sentiment.
today is the third day of our blog hop at STAMPlorations featuring those fabulous stencils Shery keeps designing!!!!
First I used colored embossing paste for the leaves on Kraft and then I used the same stencil and sponged those leaves on vellum. Attached the vellum with tow gold eyelets and added the gold embossed border - of course I should have done the border first, but did not think about it...lastly added the sentiments.
Doesn't that look delicious with all that gold?? I love it!
Its challenge time at ATSM! For the next two weeks our theme is Anything Goes - don't you just love this?
I used that wonderful Cardinal from the brand new STAMPlorations set The Birds and The Blooms and colored him with water colors. Added the branch - by Memory Box and stamped the leaves, which are form the set Rosebuds and colored them in, too. Added splatters, what else...?
today is the second day of our blog hop at STAMPlorations featuring those fabulous stencils Shery keeps designing!!!!
Started out with yellow card stock and the stencil, sponged with black soot distress ink. Added the newsprint stamp from the Mixed Media Grungs set. Then stamped the daisy (the stencil was designed for it) and added white highlights. The sentiment is heat embossed and added some color to the word "SUN".

How to Learn About Working Women in Old Family Photos
By Maureen A. Taylor
Did your ancestral mothers work outside the home either before or after marriage? Despite common misconceptions, many did.
Michael Albrecht sent in series of family photos. In the pile were two very interesting images of a tailor shop in Baltimore, Md. He labeled the images with the name of the tailor: Boleslaw Cwalina.
Now, before you think "what an uncommon name," try searching for men named Boleslaw in Baltimore. There are a lot of them.
Finding Clues in Your Photos
Look closely at this image. There are clues to be found in the fashion plates hung over the head of the clerk.
The fashions in these plates suggest a date of late 1910s to circa 1920. Those large feathers in the women's hats and the narrow skirts are significant indicators of the era.
Meanwhile, the second image shows working women sitting around sewing tables.
It's not very often that you see a picture with an exact date stamped into its surface. This one says "Feb. 15, 1935. Model Coat Makers. Baltimore, Md."
The women in this photo appear to be making coats for customers to try on, possibly about a decade after the first image was taken.
Use the clues to research
I'm hoping that Michael knows the story behind these two photos. I'd love to know who's behind the counter in the first one and if any of the women in the second are his relatives working in the family business.
Do you have old photographs that show your female ancestors performing an occupation? Why not follow up on the clues within the photos? To learn more about the occupations of the women in your family, start with these two types of records.
Look at the category that states a woman's work in a census, then see if the name of the company that employed her appears on the same line.
City directories sometimes list unmarried working women separately with the place of employment. Married women are generally mentioned in parentheses next to their husbands.

Old Christmas Photos: Best of Photo Detective

Coonawarra's total vineyard area of 6368ha represents around 7 percent of South Australia's wine industry.
Its terra rossa soil is world famous but not unique to the region. It occurs throughout the Limestone Coast zone. Vivid red in colour, it is derived from weathered limestone and thus is not volcanic in origin. It forms sub-plastic clays and friable loams that are free-draining in comparison with the grey and black soils that are frequently interspersed here.
Coonawarra is acknowledged as the home of some of Australia's finest Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Indeed, the region is predominantly red wine country. Almost 85 percent of its vineyard area is planted to red wine grapes.
Cabernet Sauvignon (3484ha) dominates the region, with a 55 percent share of the region's vineyard area. Shiraz (1242ha) and Merlot (456ha) are Coonawarra's other significant red varieties.
Chardonnay (491ha) is the region's most prolific white grape, though it accounts for less than 8 percent of Coonawarra's total vineyard area. Sauvignon Blanc (211ha) and Riesling (152ha) are the only other white varieties of any importance. Small pockets of Pinot Gris (37ha) and Viognier (11ha) provide proof of grower interest in two of the country's newly emerging white wine varieties.
Balnaves, Brand's, Jamieson's Run (formerly Mildara), Katnook Estate, Majella, Punters Corner (once Haselgrove) and Wynns Coonawarra Estate are the region's pre-eminent red wine producers.
On international markets, the Coonawarra brand is associated with premium quality Australian wine. In 2007-2008, total export sales for wine labelled Coonawarra exceeded $25m. Its top five destinations were the UK, the US, Canada, China and New Zealand.
In June 2008, the average price per litre of exported Coonawarra wine was valued at $10.02, well in excess of the $3.78 average per litre calculated for all Australian wine exported during that period.
Coonawarra's largest producers are well represented among national retail and on-premise sales. Wines from smaller producers are more likely to be restricted to southern and eastern states of Australia.
Katnook Estate Odyssey, Majella The Malleea, and Parker Coonawarra Estate Terra Rossa have a very strong following on the Australian wine auction market. All enjoy a Langton's Wine Classification of Outstanding. All are best sourced direct from the vineyard cellar door.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Chardonnay, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc.

Q: Function compositions that are in $L^p$ We have $f \in L^p$. The goal is to show that $\exists \psi \in C(\mathbb{R^+}, \mathbb{R^+})$ such that $$ \lim_{s \to +\infty} \frac{\phi(s)}{s}=+ \infty \text{ and } \phi(|f|) \in L^p$$
I neeed some pointer on how to begin.
Edit: I went to my professor for a hint and he said that there exists a continous function $\psi$ such that $\lim_{s \to \infty}\psi(s)=+\infty$ with $\sum \psi(n)a_n < \infty$ for a convergent series of poistive terms. Use $\psi$ to construct $\phi$.

A: There are several approaches, though fundamentally the idea is the same: when a series converges, it can be made bigger while preserving convergence.
Consider the sequence  $$f_n(x) = \begin{cases} |f(x)|, \quad &|f(x)|\ge n, \\ 0 \quad & |f(x)|<n \end{cases} \tag{1}$$
Observe that $\|f_n\|_{L^p}\to 0$ as $n\to\infty$. Therefore, there is a stricly increasing sequence $n_k$ such that $\|f_{n_k}\|_{L^p}\le 2^{-k}$. Define $g(x) = \sum_k f_{n_k}$, which is in $L^p$.
By construction, $g$ is of the form $\psi(|f|)$ with $$\psi = \sum_{k} \chi_{[n_k,\infty)} $$
Hence, $\psi(s)/s\to\infty $ as $s\to\infty$.
However there is the annoying requirement of continuity. One way around it is to replace (1) with
$$f_n(x) = \begin{cases} |f(x)|, \quad &|f(x)|\ge n+1, \\ |f(x)|\left(|f(x)|-n\right), \quad &n\le |f(x)|\le n+1, \\ 0 \quad & |f(x)|<n \end{cases} \tag{2}$$
and repeat. The function $\psi$ will now be the sum  of "tapered" characteristic functions. Continuity of the sum is easy to check because only one summand changes at a time.

An In Depth Explanation Of Latent and Patent Defects
Sam K. Abdulaziz & Bruce D. Rudman
In 1997, Creekridge Townhome's 61 unit, 11 building structure had its shake roofs replaced with Cedarlite concrete tile roofs. Later that year, one of the owners sent a letter to the Creekridge Townhome Owners Association, Inc. describing that she had water moisture problems in the second-story bedroom window as a result of the new tile roof. She also went on to let them know that there were several broken roof tiles.
In 2003, this same owner had roof leaks numerous times and hired a roofing consultant. The roofing consultant, Randy Davis, found many causes for the leaks and many types of roof defects and stated that the defects "would not be readily apparent to a lay person." Creekridge then filed suit against the roofers for breach of warranty, breach of contract, and negligence.
One of the three roofing contractors asked for a summary judgment on a statute of limitations grounds based on two interrogatories propounded during the discovery process, namely, when and how was it determined that the roof was leaking. In response, the answer to these two discovery questions referenced the letter written in 1997 about the moisture problems in the window, the argument was made that the statute of limitations on the issue had come and gone. The trial court granted the summary judgment based on the case of Landale-Cameron Court, Inc. v. Ahonen. The other two roofing contractors obtained a stipulated judgment on the same grounds as the first summary judgment.
The appellate court stated that the decision should be upheld on a summary judgment "...if all the evidentiary papers associated with it...show that there is no triable issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." The appellate court's job in this case was to determine whether there are factual issues to resolve since the summary judgment denied Creekridge its day in court. Any factual dispute on a material issue requires a court to give the parties their day in court.
The two statute of limitations issues explored by the appellate court were patent construction defects and latent construction defects' discovery.
A patent construction defect (an obvious flaw) has a four year statute of limitations that starts running when the construction is substantially completed. There is an objective test to determine whether a construction defect is patent that asks "whether the average consumer, during the course of a reasonable inspection, would discover the defect. The test assumes that an inspection takes place." A patent defect could then be determined as a matter of law.
The appellate court stated that it "...cannot say that the reroofing defects... were patent defects as a matter of law. Only one roof-related to a 'water moisture problem' in one unit of a 61-unit, 11-building complex - and that problem was inside a window - coupled with a report of several broken roof tiles..." Based on this, the four-year statute of limitations for a patent construction defect does not provide a basis on which to grant summary judgment so the discovery of a latent construction defect was then discussed.
A latent construction defect is one that is "not apparent by reasonable inspection." A claim arising from a latent defect must be filed within three years of injury to a property or four-years of discovery for a breach of written contract, but at no time can it be filed later than 10 years of substantial completion. Again, the limitation periods start to run upon "discovery." Discovery occurs when the plaintiff suspects, or reasonably should suspect that someone has done something wrong to the plaintiff, causing the injury.
On the issue of knowledge, the appellate court again stated that "... we cannot say, as a matter of law, that 'a water moisture problem' inside a window as a result of the tile roofs - in just one unit of a complex that comprises 61 units and 11 buildings - along with a report of several broken roof tiles..., constitutes sufficiently appreciable damage to give a reasonable person notice that remedies must be pursued."
Although the trial court relied on the Landale case in granting the summary judgment, the appellate court was not of the same mind. The Landale case was also a summary judgment construction defect case but it involved water leaks on an 8-unit condo complex. Almost half the units in the complex had leak issues and repairs were attempted. The appellate court found this much different than what occurred with respect to Creekridge because the issues only affected one of 61 units and no repairs were ever attempted.
The appellate court went on to say that, "if we were to find in favor of defendants, that would force property owner associations across the state to conduct extensive investigations for possible construction defects based on any report of a small problem. This could prove very expensive for the associations, and would often be futile." The court declined to impose such a burden.
Therefore, the judgments were reversed and Creekridge was awarded its costs on the appeal.
Although this was a lengthy case and much has been left out, we felt that the discussion would be of interest.

90 Day Fiance: Has Yazan Already Moved On From Brittany Banks?
TLC/YouTube
By Jeroslyn JoVonn/Dec. 9, 2020 5:37 pm EST
Yazan Abu Hurira and Brittany Banks were standouts on Season 2 of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way. The spin-off was rocked by their rollercoaster ride of a relationship as Brittany left her home in Florida to try her hand at life in Yazan's native country of Jordan. But their cultural differences proved to be too much for the young couple as Brittany, an aspiring rapper, offended Yazan's family with her social media habits. To make matters worse, Yazan's parents wanted Brittany to quickly marry their son and convert to Islam, but she was hesitant due to her still being legally married to her ex, as noted by ScreenRant.
Things came to a head between Yazan and his family, and his dad even threatened to kill him if he stayed with Brittany. With all the sacrifices Yazan appeared to be making for their romance, some fans accused Brittany of being insensitive and closed off to Yazan's culture. As the season came to a close, the couple appeared to be finally in a good place, with Brittany agreeing to apply for a K-1 visa for Yazan to come to the U.S., CinemaBlend reported. However, once the season was over, the Jordanian TLC star hinted that he may have already left Brittany in the past.
Yazan Abu Hurira is 'so happy' with his girlfriend
In early December 2020, Yazan Abu Hurira took to his Instagram Live and teased fans with information about his new girlfriend. "I am deleting my Facebook because I have a lot of family on this account and my girlfriend she's not liking that," he told his fans, per CinemaBlend. During the livestream, he read a question from a follower who asked who his girlfriend was. "I cannot tell you," he replied before teasing whether his new mystery woman was Brittany Banks. "[It] may be Brittany, may be no."
However, Yazan later appeared to give a clearer answer after shading his 90 Day Fiancé partner. Brittany had previously spoken out against the show's editing team for being "garbage a** people" who made her look like a villain, as noted by ScreenRant. She also called out her "exes and ex-friends," which many took to be a jab at Yazan.
Following her rant, Yazan used his Instagram story to praise the show's production. "I would like to thank TLC channel for the big efforts in the program, and the results of the show came out really good," he said. "Also, I would like to thank the editing team... you guys did your job." He then went on to confirm that he has found a new girlfriend. "Thankfully, I'm so happy now with my new love relationship," he confessed, before adding, "and now everything is wayyyy better than everrrr!!! All love."


A police chase through the suburbs of Los Angeles, the privatization of a space station or a nocturnal ramble along the boulevards of Paris: Frederik Willem Daem's supple imagination not only takes readers to the most remote corners of the world but above all brings them close to his characters.
Despite the often dark subjects – he does not fight shy of death – Daem invariably allows a gleam of hope to show through in his stories. He carries the reader along with his excellent sense of control and structure, working out the dramatic storyline to the last detail.
This book is Daem's disconcerting, funny and idiosyncratic debut. On every copy of the first print run, the author has written his name and the title by hand. That marathon signing session was streamed live on the internet and formed part of a short documentary.

MANILA, Philippines – The two disqualified bidders for the 3rd major telecommunications player slot filed their respective appeals before the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) on Friday, November 9.
The Philippine Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (PT&T) filed a motion for reconsideration, asking the NTC for a certification of technical capability.
The certification requires the bidder to have operated on a national scale for at least 10 years.
The NTC previously said PT&T was not qualified for such a certification, and thus not qualified to participate in the 3rd telco bid.
But PT&T argued that it has over 50 years of experience in the telco space.
Meanwhile, the Chavit Singson-TierOne Communications consortium, which is called Sear Telecom, also filed two motions for reconsideration before the NTC.
Singson and his legal team personally submitted the complaints.
The first motion questions the conferment of the provisional 3rd major telco player status to the Mindanao Islamic Telephone (Mislatel) Consortium. The winning team is led by Dennis Uy's Udenna Corporation and China Telecom.
They were able to qualify for the bid through Mislatel's telco franchise.
But Sear Telecom's lawyer argued that Mislatel misrepresented itself as it has an exclusive contract with Digiphil, a subsidiary of TierOne.
"Mislatel's submitted bidding agreement is a total falsity tainted with contractual fraud and misrepresentation," the complaint reads.
Singson added that Sear Telecom paid some P194,000 in delinquent fees of Mislatel to be able to get a certificate of non-liability, another requirement to join the bidding.
"Mislatel misled the public," Singson said.
The second motion questions Sear Telecom's disqualification from the bidding. It had been disqualified for being unable to submit the P700-million participation security before the selection committee.


Levant credits the blogosphere with generating most of the moral and financial support he's received. Through his website and other peoples', as well as YouTube, he has leveraged the Internet in ways other HRC defendants were either too timid or too technologically unsavvy to attempt.
He's using his newfound notoriety to speak out on behalf of other victims of the "thought police," who don't possess either his legal training or his feisty temperament.
It's perhaps ironic that the "big mouth" that's frequently gotten Levant into so many scrapes may very well help others avoid them in the future.

From CO2 Science, another peer reviewed paper with a paleoclimatology reconstruction based on cores containing plankton shells, show that both the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) and the Little Ice Age (LIA) can be seen in Indonesia. In the past, critics have said these events to be �regional� implying they occurred only around Europe, due to lack of historical records in other regions of the world.
Since the Oxygen18 isotope dating method seems well proven, it would seem this study has a good basis for its claims. Even RC�s Gavin Schmidt likes it.
From the authors� Figure 2b, adapted below, we calculate that the Medieval Warm Period was about 0.4�C warmer than the Current Warm Period.

NEW YORK (VNS)— Viet Nam wanted to enhance co-operation with Turkey, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Venezuela and Grenada in all fields, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh said on Thursday.
Minh was speaking during bilateral meetings with foreign ministers on the sidelines of the 69th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
He proposed strengthening exchanges of delegations and accelerating the signing of co-operation agreements on trade, investment and the economy.
Minh also highlighted Viet Nam's efforts to increase its contributions to addressing global challenges.
He suggested the countries support Viet Nam in its candidacy for the UN Economic and Social Council in 2016-2018, the UN Security Council in 2020-2021 and the UNESCO Executive Board in 2015-2019.
In a meeting with the Turkish Foreign Minister, Minh called upon the Turkish Government to remove protectionist policies and anti-dumping taxes against Viet Nam's garment and footwear products and enable Vietnamese labourers to work on construction projects.
Minh urged the Bulgarian side to support the acceleration of the signing of a free-trade agreement between Viet Nam and the European Union, and lobby for the bloc's recognition of Viet Nam as a market economy.
In his meeting with the Macedonian FM, Minh requested an increase in the number of scholarships granted by the Macedonian Government to Vietnamese students. The Macedonian FM pledged to meet this demand from the next academic year.
When talking with the Venezuelan FM, Minh said Viet Nam needed support to solve the difficulties in Viet Nam's oil and gas projects in the Latin American country.
He also suggested Viet Nam and Grenada boost economic and trade ties, particularly with regards to telecommunications services, tourism infrastructure and seafood processing.
The Vietnamese Dep-uty PM also met several economists from Harvard University, and asked them to support Viet Nam's research on macro-economic issues, economic restructuring and sustainable development. — VNS

I was reading yesterday that Yellowstone season 5 will have a winter break in the middle of the season. During the break we'll get a few more bonus episodes of 1883 until Yellowstone starts back up. Then when season 5 wraps up we'll get 1932. Looks like they're trying to keep us entertained year round starting in the fall.
Hmmm, interesting. Seems they are also trying that Star Trek model.

- Picard s1 - I can't believe I just now finished this I honestly thought I had completed it months ago, but I somehow, for some reason, only got to episode 8. Just finished the last, episode 10 seconds ago and while I was getting worried towards the end of this show whether I would be excited to jump back in with season two, I found I enjoyed it, over all, at the end.
- Yellowstone s1 - Still on episode 1
- Peacemaker s1 - Starting episode 6
- Star Trek: Picard s2 - Starting episode 1
- Mayor of Kings Town s1 - Yellowstone creators also did this one. Started good, but I will not be back for season 2 if there is one. Was good for the first two or so but then it got too damn (say it with me) network tv like. Funny seeing Jeremy Renner grabbing a bow but being a different character though
- Peacemaker s1 - I was reluctant at first, even though I really enjoyed the Gunn Suicide Squad, I was still kinda leary on this. Man was I wrong. Fantastic series... if you don't mind 80's glam rock, dick jokes and a story with heart. I will be back for season two. Fun fact I just found out, James Gunn recently got married to Jennifer Holland, the blonde that plays Harcourt on the show. Congrats to them... or him (she's 20 years younger than the 55 year old writer/director )
- Raised by Wolves s2- Falling behind gotta catch up on the last two episode
- Star Trek: Picard s2 - Up to date waiting for episode 2
Reacher s1
Locke & Key s2... first season was MUCH better
Are You Being Served...Again?
Sanctuary s1
Promised Land s1... meh, kills my Monday nights
The Book of Boba Fett.
Titans s4
Invincible s2
Moon Knight s1
The Mandalorian s3
1. 1883 - Season 1 - Great series. You don't need to have watched Yellowstone to enjoy this. It does add to Yellowstone as you see some of these characters in flashbacks during that series. But on its own 1883 is a great western in the realm of Lonesome Dove. Sam Elliot is great as always and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill do excellent jobs playing the great grandparents of John Dutton. The daughter, whom the show centers around, does a good job showing a strong woman on the Oregon Trail even if her narrations start to wear on you. Big thumbs up for this show.
2. Star Trek Discovery - Season 4 - Absolutely the worst Star Trek season of any series of all time. I won't be watching Season 5. Thankfully we have Picard and Strange New Worlds coming up for some better Star Trek. It's a shame too as the first two seasons showed it's true potential. Bad characters, bad writing, and an obsession with feelings killed this show.

2. Star Trek Discovery - Season 4 - Absolutely the worst Star Trek season of any series of all time.
WHAT??? NO WAY!!! This season was fantastic. Truly epic storytelling.
Listening to characters whimper about how they feel and being unsure about themselves?
People lamenting for episode after episode on the loss of loved ones or how they are "not seen" every ten seconds?
Also here!
How loving this and loving that can lovingly conquer love if you only love the love you love?
Having a Captain show the much needed strength of leadership by crying like a little child in front of her own crew, while on the bridge during a crisis?
Man, that was just like real life!! I can't count the times my ex-father-in-law (Retired Master Chief) told the tale of how back when he was Senior Chief, the submarine he was C.O.B for (Chief Of the Boat) got itself in dire straights and the crew feared all was lost, but luckily the Captain started balling in front of the crew, while in battle stations, and it made it all better for them. Solved the issue immediately. Yep! And how afterwards the crew held that Captain in such high regard because he didn't act like a normal Captain... calmly handling the situation, no, no, but how he let feelings control the situation to make it all better! Respect!!
And getting back to this season, I just don't understand why you didn't like it. Oh sure, every now and then you would get the horrible odd episode based on scientific "discovery" or "space" discovery, ya know, I guess because it is a scientific vessel made to "discover" things outside our knowledge, but surely there was very little of that to be a bother this season. Hardly any episodes felt like a Star Trek show, so I don't understand why this season didn't hit for you.
I mean, even when the crew does "discover" new life, at least the writers have the good common sense to not only base the aliens entire language on nothing but the expressing of feelings (because we just, cant, get, enough, of, that) but also show them to be just as empathetic to life and love as the Discovery's wonderful, hand holding, weepy-eyed, I can't go a minute without talking about how I feel, how you feel, how we should feel or how we could feel, crew.
And to top it off we get the utter joy of having a creature full of emotions, whose main curse was fear, fall in love with a character whose very society scorns such expression of emotions... even though she seems to have forgotten that very important aspect about her character.
You didn't like that? Man, I don't know what to say!!
Season 1 was good
Season 2 was grand
Season 3 was... bordering on pretty bad
Season 4 was bad bad bad and yes, I will not be back unless a new head of production/show Runner is hired along with a new writing staff.
Not coming back to this again unless that happens
- Star Trek: Discovery s4 - UGH. It's done
- Inventing Anna s0 - Was pretty impressed with this series based on the true story of a scam artist the conned millionaires and Banks out of millions of dollars. Pretty amazing how she got away with it for so long. Good show and extremely well acted by the uber talented Julia Garner (the wild/crazy and uber interesting girl from Ozarks)
- Raised by Wolves s2- Falling behind gotta catch up on the last four episodes
- The Gilded Age s1- Up to date
- Star Trek: Picard s2 - Up to date

1. The Haunting of Hill House - Season 1 - This was an amazing series. I loved the mystery of it more than the horror pieces but it doesn't work without the horror pieces either. Intricately woven together with great characters and great reveals. This is one I am so glad I listened to Perry about.
2. Raised by Wolves: - Season 2 - I didn't realize this season only had eight episodes in it. This almost ruined my opinion of the show as I was sitting around waiting for episode nine and it just never came! But I will say that as much as this show slogged along in the beginning it did get better and by the end There were lots of great events that happened. In the end I think it was a pretty good show, not the best, but still pretty decent.
3. The Gilded Age - Season 1 - This was another one that seemed to end kind of abruptly at episode nine, but it is from the makers of Downton Abbey. I've been told that Downton Abbey only had nine episodes per season as well so in light of that it does make sense. Overall I will say I enjoyed this show. I don't think it will become a classic like Downton Abbey but on its own it was still quite good.
4. The Flash - Season 8 Part 1 - Armageddon - well, as big of a train wreck as the Flash has become, this season "mini" turned out to be not too bad. Don't get me wrong, it was a complete train wreck starting out but around episode four, when they brought back one of the original actors, it got better. I did like the special effects on Despero. He looked pretty good and was kind of fun to look at. The character itself and the actor portraying him, not so much. Overall it still gets a "C" but that's a lot better than it has been the past two seasons. Part 2 of season 8 has already started and we'll see if they can keep an upward trend (but I doubt it).
1. Picard - Season 2 - waiting on episode 5 Thursdays
3. Moon Knight - Season 1
6. The Haunting of Bly Manor
7. Only Murders in the Building - Season 2 - June 28, 2022
12. Sweet Tooth - Season 2 - Not officially renewed yet but tentatively Mid 2022.

- Book of Boba Fett s1 - Sadly I enjoyed the
Mandalorian episodes
more than I did most of these episodes, but it wasn't too bad. Except for the ridiculous fight scenes. Horrible. Well, except for the one on one fight... under the spoiler I still give it a sold 6.5 to 7 outta 10 overall. But then again, those last two episodes had those stupid ass fight scenes. In fact, on second thought, no, I give this a slightly above average
6 outta 10
--- (Now wait, see below for why I am putting these movies listed below in this thread )---
Green Knight - Good and strange. It really helped to know the Arthurian five virtues of knighthood
Green Room - With Picard and Chekov ( Anton Yelchin) - Pretty damn wild movie, one real gross part !!!
Slow West - A western featuring Magneto!! A fine movie
Free Fire - Hey, this one had Captain Marvel and Lone Ranger. A fun movie about a gun deal gone bad
Moonlight - Not what I was fully expecting, but a damn well acted movie. Super impressed.
- Star Trek: Picard s2 - Starting ep7
- Moon Knight s1 - Starting ep4
- Vikings: Valhalla s1 - Starting ep4
- Halo s1 - Almost finished first episode
- All the A24 movies that are on Showtime!! They currently have, hell, I don't know, 60 or 70 or so (of the 112 total), and the wife and I are going to try and rip through the ones we haven't seen. I know movies don't usually go here, but I think of it as a "series" of movies We finished 5 of them in the last 3 days. We have seen about 10 already, including the great ones like: Hereditary, The Witch, Midsommar, Ex Machina and even the not so great, Lighthouse (blah )
But yeah, we've knocked out those movies above, like a series, in the last 3 days

Mississippi Grind - Just an okay Ryan Reynolds gambling movie.
First Reformed - Horrible. Ethan Hawke was good, script was boring as hell!!
Good Time - Pattinson as a criminal. Good and he is a great actor (horrible Bruce Wayne though
Swiss Army Man - Absolutely the most stupid movie I have seen, but funny as hell
Room - I can see why it won a lot of praise. Capt Marvel (Carol Danvers) kidnapped

Prayer Before Dawn - Not bad, not good. True story of a boxer in a Thailand prison
A Most Violent Year - Moon Knight running an Oil Company However, title is wrong as there was only one or two instances of violence. The Not Very Violent Year is maybe a better title?

- Perry Mason s2 - I like to relax with older stuff like this at times. A perfect show to sit and chill
- Ozarks s4 part 2 - not out yet (Friday) but I will be watching it day of, so adding it now
1. Ozark - Season 4 Part 2 (Final Season) - GREAT FINISH. Kept me on the edge of my seat almost every episode. I have mixed feelings with how the things ended for certain characters but I won't spoil anything here. Overall, a great send off for a great series.
2. Picard - Season 2 - Fairly decent ending. A little too much "feelings" stuff but not anywhere near the horribleness of Discovery. A predictable ending but the reveals were still fun. Loved the last minute "cameo" and hoping to see more of that next season. Overall I enjoyed this season.
3. Moon Knight - Season 1 - well, they screwed this pooch with that ending. But everything up to the last episode was fun; episode 5 being my favorite. I was enjoying this quite a bit but sadly that last episode soured my view of the series. The after credit scene, though, gives promise to a second season.
2. Better Call Saul - Season 6 Part 1 - waiting on episode 5 Mondays
3. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 1 - waiting on episode 2 Thursdays - Episode 1 was great! Could this be the series that makes Star Trek good again?!
4. Star Trek: Lower Decks - Season 1 - on episode 2 - Enjoyed the first episode. This is fun.
5. Law & Order - Season 2 - the wife and I are re-watching these starting with Season 1. Loved this show back in the day and really enjoying seeing these again.
1. Star Trek: Lower Decks - Season 2
3 Ms. Marvel – June 8, 2022. The trailer did not look good so I may be skipping this.
9. Sweet Tooth - Season 2 - Renewed but no release date yet. Earliest estimated release Q4 2022.

Yes, double yes, and triple hell yes!
First episodes of new shows can usually hit like a first issue of new comic series, ya know, just laying things out, not giving you a true feel, but this was top to bottom a bright light in what has been a pretty dim Star Trek Universe over the last couple of years.
I feel Picard is... well... honestly just okay (although I am hopeful for next season ). It lacks any kind of punch that brings true emotion to me and I just don't feel like I need nor want to be glued to the screen while I watch.
And then... oh lord... with Discovery, it rapidly and quite deeply just deteriorated so far into Far-left bull shit that it took away from the idea and feel of Trek. And that is saying something because Trek has always been more on the left side of things. But damn, they just beat us to death with some of the shit the last two years.
Of course we also have the animated Lower Decks which is Trek in all its glory, but more pointed to the funny side, the under belly, the lower deck of Trek if you will
And now there is Strange New Worlds. It will be the Trek I can be proud of again. This has me super excited!!
