Abbey Road Townhomes: An Award-Winning Pocket Neighborhood for People 55+
The Abbey Road neighborhood sits in downtown Sherborn, Massachusetts—a bedroom community of the Greater Boston region and its vibrant cities. Because of its prime location and great quality of life, many people raise families here and call Sherborn home throughout their careers.
However, in recent years, many older Sherborn residents have had to make a difficult decision: Move out of town to a retirement community that better suits their needs, or stay in the place they know and love, close to friends and family.
The team of Rubicon Builders, Civico Development, and green building verification consultant Sustainable Comfort, Inc., addressed this issue head-on with the Abbey Road Townhomes project. Today, this upscale "pocket neighborhood" allows people 55 and older to age in place while they continue to enjoy the comfortable, safe, and social life they're accustomed to.
Not Too Big, Not Too Small, Just Right for Independence, Mental Well-Being, and Sustainability
When designing Abbey Road, the team prioritized communal living and socialization. That's why the lead architect and owner of Civico Development, Andrew Consigli, says his organization chose to build a pocket neighborhood—a type of planned community that consists of a grouping of smaller residences, often around a courtyard or common garden, and that's designed to promote a sense of close-knit sense community and neighborliness with an increased level of contact.
Consigli explains, "An ideal pocket neighborhood is between six and 20 homes—not too small and not too big where you lose the community element. One of our main visions when designing this project was the idea of a front porch community, where open common spaces are the focus."
Building a pocket neighborhood benefits residents and greater Sherborn in more ways than one. First, a feeling of togetherness combats two common issues among older adults: loneliness and depression. James Moriarty, vice president at Sustainable Comfort, Inc., says, "These types of communities allow for independent living while encouraging interaction, to foster a sense of belonging and relationship-building."
The architecture of Abbey Road is inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement of the early 20th century, which revived traditional artistic craftsmanship and used nature as a muse, incorporating themes of simplicity, honesty, and function.
Closely grouped homes benefit the environment too, preserving and protecting natural lands by building within a smaller footprint. Moriarty explains, "The forest preservation and landscaping were really well-thought-out features of this project. Working with Wes Wirth, a landscape architect, the project included many aspects of a self-sufficient and sustainable permaculture garden, including food production that was integrated into the landscape, drought-tolerant plants, native plants rather than the typical energy-intensive grass lawn, and the protection of existing natural areas."
Although the community element is important, the team also built with privacy in mind to give residents independence. Consigli says, "We created three layers of privacy—one being the community courtyard, which is private to residents; the second being the front porch, which is semi-private; and the third being the inside of the residence, which is completely private. The porch and landscaping become the buffer between private and public. The buildings are also designed so that windows don't face one another and porches are staggered."
Now, residents can mingle with neighbors when they want to and enjoy solitude and independent living as they wish, too.
Modernizing a Historic Landmark While Preserving a Legacy
Years ago, Abbey Road was a popular retreat for many celebrities, including the Dalai Lama and Margaret Thatcher, as well as speakers from Harvard. During Abbey Road's upgrade, its historic roots were celebrated and elevated.
The site and existing buildings, rich in history, informed the architecture of the newly constructed homes. The Dowse Memorial Building, built in 1914 in the Jacobean style, originally housed Sherborn's library. Next door, the originally named Coolidge House (also built in 1914) is a remarkable example of Edwardian architecture, reminiscent of the work of English architect Sir Edwin Lutyens.
Consigli says, "Preserving history was a sensitive subject with the town residents, as they cherish their historic buildings and do not want to see the existing character of the town's center changed. We needed a majority town-meeting vote to rezone the land and had to assure them that great care would be taken to preserve historical integrity. By working together with Sustainable Comfort and the talented Rubicon Builders construction team, stakeholders blended new construction seamlessly with surrounding historical buildings."
The finished residential community includes 18 homes centered around a common green. Each home features an open floor plan, a porch that overlooks community gardens and the surrounding natural areas, an attached garage, and 20th-century Arts and Crafts-style architecture. The 1914 originals of the Dowse Library and the Coolidge House could not be safely salvaged, but exact replicas were built to keep the historic integrity of the neighborhood intact.
The project was completed in 2017, and all condo units were sold by the end of 2018. The finished Abbey Road Townhomes community marries a New England farm town's history with modern, accessible convenience.
Sustainability Upgrades
Each Abbey Road townhome is built to stand the test of time, with high-quality, low-maintenance materials, including Energy Star upgrades. Homes built to Energy Star standards typically perform up to 30 percent more efficiently than homes constructed to standards in local building codes, making living in Abbey Road more affordable and accessible to Sherborn residents.
Energy-saving elements include:
Energy Star appliances and light fixtures
Pella Proline Low-E windows that meet or exceed Energy Star standards
High-efficiency heat pumps and hot water heaters
High-efficiency furnaces
Use of non-toxic products, such as no- or low-VOC paints, caulking, sealants, and adhesives
Blown-in cellulose insulation: walls=R21 / ceilings=R38 / floors=R21
The homes are also aesthetically pleasing and functional for older adults. Upgrades include large windows with plenty of natural light, outdoor patio spaces, ample parking, and a custom elevator option for residents with accessibility considerations.
The Team and Its Awards
Sustainable Comfort, Inc., served as the green building consultant for the project, working closely with architect Andrew Consigli of Civico Development, investor Bob Murchison of Fenix Partners, and Rubicon Builders to ensure energy-efficient and green housing.
Bob Murchison, Fenix Partners owner and a lifelong Sherborn resident, whose mother now lives in the Abbey Road community, was excited to invest in the success of the project. Murchison says, "Andrew Consigli and I are both committed to more-sustainable development practices. We knew our buyers cared about these issues, so we anticipated that the pocket neighborhood concept would be a huge selling point. The Sustainable Comfort folks were a great help in understanding the challenges of sustainability and in maximizing our impact for dollars spent. They also had a strong understanding of regulatory opportunities."
Since Abbey Road's completion in 2017, the community has won two PRISM Awards—one Gold award for best 55+ community and one Silver award for best-attached home over 1,800 square feet—from the Builders and Remodelers Association of Greater Boston. The project took home platinum for the multifamily category in the 2018 National Association of Home Builders Best of American Living Awards.
President of Sustainable Comfort, Albert LaValley, remarked, "This project has been particularly rewarding because it has allowed us to keep people in their beloved community while bridging old with new—history with modern sustainability upgrades."

Mui Ne is a beautiful coastal city in the south of Vietnam. There are plenty of upscale accommodations to spoil yourself, but if you are a budget conscious traveler, check these guesthouses out for a more authentic and personal experience.
Diem Lien Guesthouse is one of the top rated guests houses in Mui Ne. The owners Diem, and you guessed it, Lien, will go out of their way to help you feel at home, as they are sharing part of their home with you. The rooms are very clean, have everything you need, and there is a wonderful garden with hammocks strewn between trees, and colorful flowers scattered around.

A Prayer for Thanksgiving Day,
Eternal God, you are our source. You are our hope You are our comfort. You've given to us far more than we can even imagine. In sending your Son, Jesus Christ, you've made the way for us to come home to you. In sending your Spirit to live in us, you show us the way of light in the chaos of darkness.
Lord as we live on this side of glory, we confess we've sinned, that we've made idols, that ball, busyness, money, status, and others have taken your place.
This has been a week of the 'Super Moon'. The nights have been beautiful as the moon has shown so brightly. Peachtree folks have been super busy all week.
The men prepared and cooked collards three times. The ladies helped with packaging them for sale. Due to the unprecedented demand for collards, the men will cook another batch next Monday. This has been a time of much work but also a time of good fellowship. Appreciation is expressed to all those supporting this effort, and to those who came by to pick up their collards.
Gratitude: the state of being grateful, thankfulness. We owe ultimate gratitude to God. We ought to show Him our thankfulness. Ultimately, our food comes from Him. "He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and vegetation for the labor of man, so that he may bring forth food from the earth" (Psalm 104:14). Water is precious. God delivers the snow and rain. "For to the snow He says, 'Fall on the earth,' and to the downpour and the rain, 'Be strong'" (Job 37:6).

Thankful for different things every year
The temps outside are finally starting to get some snap to them, and the traditional beginning of the end of the year in America is upon us. It's Thanksgiving.
It's tradition that readers and writers stop and take time to consider all the things to be thankful for -- in between astounding feats of eating. Many folks consider the less fortunate among us, and do inspiring work to feed and shelter them during the holidays, and year round.
Truly, all of us have something(s) for which to be thankful.
Please shop local!
The holidays are here and it's important to remember your local businesses during this time of year.
Sure, we all love catching the great deals at the big box stores but you'll never find the excellent customer service like you will at your mom and pop shops.
On Saturday, November 26, downtown merchants will host the Shop Small Saturday event and several downtown businesses will be open, serving up some good deals and plenty of smiles.
It's called "social" media for a reason
Among all of the controversy, accusations and political fire this post election season, one thing that has finally been brought to light is the fact that social media is NOT REAL NEWS MEDIA!
I participate on Facebook - but use it solely as "social" communication between friends and family -- which is all it's really good for. Some tried using it as a marketing tool and quickly learned it really doesn't work all that well unless you pay money. The old adage, "you get what you pay for" tends to always be true.

SKEIN SNAPPED
BUNN - Few coaches have shown the patience of Southern Nash's Jordan Bass during his brief tenure in charge of the Ladybirds' girls basketball program.
Bass, a long-time teacher and football coach at SNHS, took over the hoopsters last fall and saw his club post a winless record during the 2015-16 campaign.
That put the Ladybirds' recent skein to two full years and 48 games, but Bass knew that a successful outcome would finally happen.
That event took place last Thursday as Southern Nash opened its 2016-17 schedule with a 31-29 road victory against backyard rival Bunn at the Bunn Dome.
Northern's Lauren New
RED OAK -- Even with Grover Battle's astute veteran coaching, Northern Nash has often overwhelmed its girls basketball opponents simply with talent alone.
Throw in Battle's strategic excellence, and it's easy to see why the Lady Knights boast such a successful, tradition-rich program.
But that won't be the case this year as the Lady Knights will have to by a system team in order to have a strong showing in the always-competitive Big East Conference girls basketball standings.

Southern slides by Northern
STANHOPE -- Eight days after Southern Nash topped Northern Nash in each team's regular season finale, both clubs turned their attention to each other once again in the first round of this year's North Carolina High School Athletic Association Class 3-A State Football Playoffs last Friday night.
After beating Randy Raper's Northern Nash Knights one week before, Southern Nash improved to 12-0 overall with a 30-15 home win that also punched the Firebirds' ticket to the second round.

Transdermal clonidine for ameliorating tamoxifen-induced hot flashes
Richard M. Goldberg, Charles L. Loprinzi, Judith R. O'Fallon, Michael H. Veeder, Angela W. Miser, James A. Mailliard, John C. Michalak, Ann Marie Dose, Ken M. Rowland, Nora L. Burnham
Purpose: To determine the efficacy of transdermal clonidine for alleviating tamoxifen-induced hot flashes in women with a history of breast cancer. Patients and Methods: A randomized, double-blind, crossover design was used in this prospective study. Women with a history of breast cancer who were receiving tamoxifen and suffering from hot flashes were potentially eligible for this protocol study. Results: Clonidine did reduce hot-flash frequency to a degree that was statistically impressive (P < .0001), but clinically moderate (20% reduction from baseline). It also decreased hot- flash severity (P = .02, 10% reduction from baseline). Clonidine was related to increased mouth dryness (P < .001), constipation (P < .02), itchiness under the patch (P < .01), and drowsiness (P < .05). Conclusion: Better means are needed to alleviate hot flashes among patients in whom estrogen therapy is contraindicated.

On behalf of Dennis Miller and myself, I would like to provide you with a brief update on FINA activities and note some key information for your Federation, Athletes and Officials.
Over the last 6 month period we have seen the successful delivery of FINA's three key events being the FINA World Championships (Budapest), FINA Masters Championships (Budapest) and the FINA Junior World Championships (Indianapolis). All these events were taken to a new level in terms of sport presentation and athlete experience. The Junior Worlds also trialed underwater cameras for officials to review stroke and turns which, if proven successful, has the potential to be more widely adopted.
The FINA World Championships in Budapest were also the occasion of the FINA General Congress. Dennis and I are both very honoured to be supported by the Oceania Member Federations as your FINA Bureau representatives for the 2017-2021 period and reiterate our commitment to supporting the development of aquatics within the Oceania region and its Federations. This can only be achieved by working together and building the capacity within each Federation, OSA and FINA itself.
One component that supports this objective is broadening Oceania's representation on the various FINA Committees and Panels with appropriately qualified volunteers. Below is the list of all Oceania representatives confirmed by the FINA Bureau for the 2017-2021 which is an increase from the previous 4-year term.
The Swimming for All program is still progressing with Dennis being a strong advocate for improving its sustainability and implementation through his membership of the FINA Development Committee. This program has the potential to provide great development opportunities within Oceania and in conjunction with Regional Program Manager Nancy Miyake's ongoing efforts with the Pacific Sports Partnerships Program we hope this will deliver positive outcomes for development in the region.
It is important that all Federations stay updated with the WADA Code and Anti-Doping activities. The responsibility for anti-doping code compliance is firmly on the athlete however Federations have a duty of care to ensure their athletes receive and have access to regular education, information and are fully aware of new developments in this space. Please visit the WADA website (www.wada-ada.org) or contact your National or Regional Anti-Doping Association for up to date information regarding anti-doping regulations and developments.
Another of our strategic objectives is the development and provision of "safe water" by way of pool development or alternative solutions subject to available natural resources. Through the efforts of Dennis, OSA is pleased to announce it has signed an agreement with Fluidra to assist, where possible, in the development and construction of new pool facilities. FINA is also currently conducting a feasibility assessment of providing financial and political support for Federations looking to develop new facilities. Although this will almost certainly require co-investment and management agreements from government, it is potentially a very exciting opportunity for many Federations. Nancy Miyake has also been active in this space with a particular focus on "sea pool" solutions. I would encourage you to contact her directly for more information if this might be of interest.
FINA Clinics and Schools have been confirmed by FINA with 18 FINA Clinics and Schools for 2018 approved across a number of Federations and disciplines within Oceania. Congratulations to those successful Federations and we look forward to their successful delivery. All Federations should have received details about the clinics however if for some reason you haven't please contact Ron Clarke, OSA Honorary Secretary, for information.
It is with regret that Artistic Swimming will not be part of next year's Oceania Championships in PNG. Sue Edwards has done an extraordinary job in delivering Synchro (now Artistic Swimming) at many Oceania Championships however with limited teams throughout Oceania it became untenable to coordinate for next year's championships. We thank Sue for her unwavering commitment to the sport with our region.
Please don't hesitate to contact Dennis or myself if we can assist you or your Federation in any capacity at FINA, Continental or Federation level. We remain committed to support the development of aquatics at all levels but particularly with the Oceania region.

Q: How to E2E test on Electron desktop app with Playwright I try to write E2E test with playwright but something is wrong.
When I was initialize the test, test passed but actually, block did not go inside the bracket.
It also passes the test when I enter the wrong selector.
The code is below:
import { _electron as electron } from 'playwright';
import { test, expect, ElectronApplication, Page, BrowserContext, Locator } from '@playwright/test';

test.describe('Add Connection', async() => {
let electronApp: ElectronApplication;
let firstWindow: Page;
let context: BrowserContext;

    test.beforeAll(async() => {
        electronApp = await electron.launch({ args: ['.']} );

        const appPath = await electronApp.evaluate(async({ app }) => {
            return app.getAppPath();
        });
        console.log(appPath);
    });

    test('Try Connection', () => {
        electronApp.on('window', async(page) => {

            await page.getByTestId('settings').click({delay: 1000});
            await page.getByTestId('connection').click({delay: 1000});

        });

    });

    test.afterAll(async() => {
        await electronApp.close();
    });

});

I haven't seen enough documentation about E2E testing on Electron. How can we write a test where we can go to different pages by clicking on the buttons?

A: I solved this problem. The inside of 'Try Connection' test doesn't work because electronApp.on() is a callback function.
To write ElectronJS & Playwright test I choose these steps:
I got a Page object (firstWindow) after that I clicked on the buttons and went to the place I wanted to test.
The final code:
import { _electron as electron } from 'playwright';
import { test, expect, ElectronApplication, Page } from '@playwright/test';

test.describe('Add Connection', async() => {
    let electronApp: ElectronApplication;
    let firstWindow: Page;

    test.beforeAll(async() => {
        electronApp = await electron.launch({ args: ['.']} );
        firstWindow = await electronApp.firstWindow();
    });

    test('Try Connection', async() => {
        await firstWindow.title();
        await firstWindow.click('xpath=//*[@id="sidemenu-container"]/a[3]', {delay: 1500});
        await firstWindow.click('xpath=//*[@id="***"]/app-settings/div/div[1]/button[1]', {delay: 1500});
        await firstWindow.click('xpath=//*[@id="***"]', {delay: 1500});
        await firstWindow.getByPlaceholder('***').fill('emir connection');
        await firstWindow.locator('#***').selectOption({label: '***'});
        await firstWindow.click('xpath=//*[@id="***"]', {delay: 2000});
        // for the wait, (fake click)
        await firstWindow.click('xpath=//*[@id="***"]', {delay: 7000});
    });

    test.afterAll(async() => {
        await electronApp.close();
    });

});

Interim Little Rock Police Chief Wayne Bewley announces retirement
by: Ryan Turbeville
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The interim Police Chief of the Little Rock Police Department announced his retirement Wednesday as the city continues to search for a permanent head of the department.
Interim Police Chief Wayne Bewley said that he was retiring after 36 years of service in the LRPD, adding that he was accepting another job opportunity.
LRPD Chief answers why he's retiring and gives advice for next chief
"This has truly been the dream job of my life and has provided me the opportunity to experience so many things while working with some of the best police officers anywhere in this country," Bewley said. "I am forever grateful to the City of Little Rock. With that being said, it is time to move on to the next chapter of my life."
Mayor Frank Scott Jr. shared Bewley's announcement and his appreciation of Bewley's time as interim chief in an email to the city directors.
"Chief Bewley provided needed stability to the department and continued to advance LRPD in a positive direction," the mayor wrote. "He's been an asset to me in my search for a permanent chief and I'll miss his counsel and leadership."
Bewley's announcement comes in the middle of the ongoing search for a permanent replacement for the previous chief, Keith Humphrey, who retired in May.
Additional four apply for Little Rock Police chief
Throughout the search for a replacement, 20 have applied for the position and none have been hired yet. The mayor said that he expects to name a new chief in the next 30 to 60 days.
Bewley was the second interim chief during the search after Crystal Young-Haskins, the first interim chief, resigned in June.
Current assistant chief, Heath Helton, will be the next to take up the interim position on Dec. 3, and Bewley is set to retire on Dec. 30.

Then our daughter came along and my heart nearly exploded. Yet, she grew a day older each day and my heart learned how to make room to love her more. Then, we got pregnant with our son, and the question arose again. How are we going to have enough love in our hearts for each other and for both our children?
Yet, here he is and somehow my heart has made room to love him, and each day it keeps growing more. My love never stopped for my daughter, it kept growing right along side my love for my husband and son.
But this isn't where our love stops. Remember, we have life and the ability to love and the opportunity to share that love with others because Jesus died on the cross and was buried in the tomb. He did it out of love for us.
We are called on the daily to love in all we do and show our neighbors love through our words and actions. We are called to say and do things out of love so that they can see the face of Christ in us.
When we do everything in love, just as Father Damien did for the people of Molokai and just as Jesus did when he died on the cross and was buried in the tomb for us, the rewards are great in heaven.
Lastly, there is no greater example of love than to lay down your life for your friends. So I challenge you, are you laying down your life for your friends on the daily basis?
Are you the one to stay by their side and lay them to rest when they have relentlessly loved as we are called to?
We are to love without abandon, love without boundaries, love with all we have to the very last moment possible. We are to love until we get laid to rest, until we get put in the tomb, till we have nothing else to give...just as Father Damien did with the people of Molokai and just as Jesus did for us.


Vacenovice village is located at the intersection of two geological formations of different ages and different character. The older layers from Neogene consisting of clay and loam, rich in water, are often overlapped by huge layers of sand, blown during the last glacial period in Pleistocene from alluvial deposits of the Morava river. This created the specific landscape, in which alternate places rich in water and extremely dry places. Sand dunes extending deep into the wetlands and constituting a dry ridges, protected on all sides by marshes and swamps and plenty of fertile land created favorable conditions, that made the vicinity of Vacenovice inhabited almost continuously since the Neolithic. The first Neolithic farmers built their simple settlement on the sand ridges in the middle of wetlands. The oldest archaeological finds from the village vicinity come approximately from the 5th millennium BC. Amateur archaeological surveys conducted in the vicinity of the village in recent years made it possible to build a cross-section from the Neolithic settlement and after the first written report about the village. The greatest population density was yet documented around the 5th century BC (Celts - settlement Rúdník), then in Roman times and the largest ever at the time of the Great Moravian Empire. There is an interesting publication from the citizen of Ratíškovice village, Mr. Galatík, about the hill Náklo on the villages boundary of Vacenovice, Ratíškovice, Milotice and Dubňany, where there was recently built lily cross and seated statue of the buyer Sámo. It's a very nice tourist spot with a view of all the world. There have been discovered 6 Slavic settlements from that time on the cadaster of the village, including one of larger type, it was fortified settlement, east of the village.
The oldest written reports on Vacenovice are from the early 13th century (the year 1228), according to which King Přemysl Ottokar I. presented 53 villages to the Velehrad monastery, among them Vacenovice. (The deed of transfer in Latin language has copied Josef P. Planit SDB, pastor in Velká nad Veličkou in 2003, from the Moravian Land Library in Brno). By the same author is also another document from 1250, when there were confirmed goods and privileges of the Velehrad's monastery, including the village Vacenovice. Formerly a part of Bzenecká Doubrava belonged to the village, which is significantly written down in history of Vacenovice. King Sigismund gave in the year 1420 to the holder of Vacenovice and his successors the right to graze cattle in the Doubrava, and hew the wood for building and burning. At the end of the 15th century all subjects in Vacenovice got this right too, what was a great privilege. Therefore, there are three acorns on the coat of arms of Vacenovice, related to this privilege. The oldest seal of the Vacenovice village is on the deed from the year 1668. Later, from the beginning of the 16th century until the 20th century, Vacenovice belonged to the dominion of Milotice. Around 1560, baptists settled in Vacenovice, who played an important role in the history of the village. Their peaceful and economically developing life ended abruptly at the beginning of the 17th century by invasion of Bočkaj's troops. After the release of the imperial patent in 1622, the baptists had to move out of the country. The findings of their pottery in the village described in his book about pottery and pitchery author Heřman Landsfeld from Strážnice (book title: Lidové hrnčířství a džbánařství). Not only based on his work continues archaeologist and researcher Jiří Pajer from Strážnice, who discovered the burning furnace of baptists - which is a rarity with Europe-wide meaning. It was discovered in 2005-2006 in Vacenovice in the garden of the house no. 44. His research in Vacenovice is documented in writing and in the movie too. Already in 1848, the municipality filed an application for establishment of a school and a year later there were lessons in the manor gamekeeper's lodge. But since 1879 a new school was built, which after various superstructures, maintenance and reconstruction works is still in use. The own history of Vacenovice begun first after the village gained independence from the parish Milotice in 1930, when the citizens of Vacenovice built a new church.
Vacenovice and its surrounding area is part of the Lower Morava Vale (czech: Dolnomoravský úval), called Mutěnice's table (czech: Mutěnická tabule). It is a flat area, consisting of aeolian sands or sands dunes. On three sides the village is surrounded by mixed and broadleaf forests. This forest massif is actually part of the natural area of Pomoraví and marginal part of the White Carpathians (czech: Bílé Karpaty), Natura 2000 (a bird territory). It is also a condition for stabilization of aeolian sands, called Moravian Sahara, part of which extends into the cadaster of Vacenovice. In terms of the water balance is this territory deficit. Through this territory goes the divide contour line of the major hydrogeologic units - Morava River basin and Thaya River Basin. Water inflows are weak. There is no larger continuous body of water. You can find here protected historical area called Jezero, in recent years revitalized water area next to Jezero, revitalized water area in the area called Hantále (former brickyard), and pond fed only by the rainfall (called Bahňák) in the area called Stanoviska. Sands are partially covered by sandy loams. Despite this all, there is a source of groundwater, which previously flowed spontaneously from artesian spring. Then there were drilled additional boreholes, but the water is not used in any way, except for utility consumption in the buildings of the former agricultural cooperative, currently company Anticoro Bábík Josef and the company Bravenec. Little pond called Húštík in the upper part of the village near the nursery school, although his surface has much diminished, still has small water inflow through the spring.


Light to mid-yellow colour with a shy, gently spicy aroma, the palate fruit-sweet and yet clean and refined, with lemon, grapefruit and nectarine touches. It's bright and lively, with brilliant freshness and zest, and subtle notes of malt and spice. A seriously lovely wine of real but understated complexity. 95 Points.

John Woo Reminds Us That He's Working On A Remake Of THE KILLER
January 31, 2011 Rich Drees Movie News
It's looking like the long in development remake of Hong Kong action director John Woo's seminal The Killer may be finally moving forward. Woo and producing partner Terence Chang announced today through a press release from their Lion Rock Productions shingle that the film is being actively prepped for production. John H. Lee has been attached to direct this English-language remake since 2007 and Korean actor Jung Woo-Sung (Reign of Assassins, The Good, The Bad, The Weird) is set to star. The film is set to be in 3D.
As Woo explained in the press release –
While all my films are special to me, The Killer is truly one of my favorites. We are thrilled to reinvent it as an English-language film and know it's in capable hands by the incredible visual style and tender emotion John H. Lee brings to all his films.
A remake of The Killer was first attempted in the early 1990s when action writer/director Walter Hill took a stab at a screenplay. A couple of years and a few different script drafts later the project had stalled out. This new version was first announced in 2007, though not much news has leaked out of the project since then.
Of course, we all know that just announcing a film isn't the same as actually making the thing. It is possible that Woo and company are just starting to bang their particular drum in advance of next month's European Film Market at the Berlin International Film Festival. I would not be surprised if the money from pre-selling the film to distributors in numerous countries is instrumental in funding the production.

Lawyers and Social Media: The Times They Are A-Changin'
The legal community at-large was a bit more skeptical of social media than the general public, as recently as a few years ago.
If you are unsure as to why this is, ask any legal professional. Social media is designed to break down divisions and privacy, which can lead to conflict when used by lawyers an d judges.
A recent study by the National Law Journal found 40 percent of state judges polled to by users of Facebook, Twitter, or a similar social media platform. But of the same group polled, more than half believed any use of social media at their work would be a violation of ethics.
Besides this, an average law firm is nothing like a southern California Subway franchise. (@socalSubway) Law firms need to market to specific groups in order to cull clients, but will not dive into any means necessary—including social media—to get people's attention.
Thanks to Kevin O'Keefe at LexBlog for discovering, and posting some interesting social media-related findings from the American Bar Association's Legal Resource Center Survey.
For those who do not subscribe to this ABA survey, the results are of interest because they highlight the social media use among attorneys. More importantly, the ABA studies why lawyers use social media in the workplace, since American attorneys and judges appear to be adopting these platforms at the same rate as other Americans.
Here are is the data:
Why do lawyers maintain a presence on social networks?
Professional networking (76%)
Socializing (62%)
Client development (42%)
Career development (17%)
Case investigation (6%)
What social networks do lawyers use?
LinkedIn (83%)
Facebook (68%)
Plaxo (18%)
Martindale.com Connected (4%)
LawLink (2%)
Twitter (2%)
Avvo, LegalOnRamp, and LegallyMinded (1% each)
Approximately 56 percent of lawyers personally maintain some form of an account, or moderate presence, on an online social media platform—such as Facebook, Twitter, and the others listed above.
Two years ago, only 15 percent of lawyers were on social media sites. What could have accounted for such a dramatic change?
Last March for the first time, Facebook surpassed Google for a full week as the most popular Web site on the Web.
Even Twitter, which is not yet as popular among the lawyer crowd, has amassed nearly 200 million monthly visitors as of this summer.
Some lawyers and law firms, I am sure, have joined Facebook with average curiosity among the millions of other Americans. Other lawyers and firms, however, must realize that these social media platforms contain any number of potential clients.
For decades law firms have used many different means of creatively keeping in touch with clients—newsletters, e-mails, Christmas cards, and many other paper-wasting ideas. This would all have fallen into "professional networking" category of the firm's activities. Many firms have discovered recently most of their clients were on Facebook and or LinkedIn, and this was an easier means of communicating more news about the firm.
Let's say you or your firm specializes in an area of federal law, and your potential client list is scattered throughout the country rather than in a specific jurisdiction area or city. Without social media to stay in touch with all those people, including people you have not yet discovered, would be a time-consuming and expensive process.
There is no way of knowing how a social media platform will trend even next month, let alone next year—just look at Myspace. But two surprises in the data, which we should perhaps expect to change over the next year or two, are the low number of Twitter and Avvo users.
As mentioned above, Twitter—like Facebook and LinkedIn—is too big of a resource to pass up for long. Avvo, which was only founded in 2006, is gaining a new popularity among lawyers because it is a cheap and easy way of getting some online presence without devoting future time to social media.
With social media (still) being so knew for lawyers, it is always interesting to hear success and horror stories from firms implementing it.
Regardless of how lawyers decide to spend their social media hours this year and the next, the legal community is certainly addressing social media—as a communication and marketing tool, it appears to be here to stay.

Chorizo at Chipotle; Shonda Rhimes on Ice Cream
Five things to know today
by Daniela Galarza Oct 3, 2016, 11:01am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Chorizo at Chipotle; Shonda Rhimes on Ice Cream
Happy Monday. Congratulations on making it through another weekend. Celebrate with a drink or two. In today's food news:
— In case you still eat at Chipotle, heads up, as of tomorrow there will be a new protein option in stores nationwide: Chorizo first landed on Chipotle's menu in June in several test markets, and now it will be available for all as of tomorrow. Eater's critics had some thoughts about the quasi-pork.
— Falling food prices are hurting restaurants nationwide according to several reports. In a new story the New York Times notes the confluence of factors, including shifting social structures, higher restaurant prices, and cheaper groceries on how, why, and how often Americans are dining out today. B. Hudson Riehle, senior vice president of the National Restaurant Association says, "it is still over all an environment where consumers continue to use restaurants, but for the industry, it's a more moderate growth rate than in the past."
— D.C.'s new Trump hotel has been vandalized. Eater DC notes that someone spray-painted "Black Lives Matter" and "No Justice No Peace" on the building, which houses a location of the chain BLT Prime.
— Patagonia, the makers of hiking gear and activewear, has just introduced its newest product: A beer called Long Root Ale that promises to — get this — save the world. It's the first beer to be brewed from Kernza®, a perennial grain grown using regenerative agriculture practices, meaning it's "grown organically, restores soil biodiversity, sequesters carbon, and grows efficiently without chemical fertilizers or pesticides."
— Emmy award-winning producer and screenwriter Shonda Rhimes wrote a story for this upcoming issue's New Yorker titled "My Summer of Scooping Ice Cream." It's about women, the workplace, and the power of wardrobe choices. It's also about ice cream. Here is an excerpt:
That's the curse of the job—ice cream everywhere. My uniform's pink-brown-and-white striped shirt was crisp, cheerful, but by the end of each shift it was gummy and streaked with chocolate and pistachio and sorbet and mint chip. The clear plastic gloves didn't help. Ice cream ran up and down my arms; it slipped inside the gloves; it stuck in the crevices behind my knees. You have not fully lived on this earth until you have tried to wash Pink Bubblegum ice cream out of your cornrows.

Top 20 listing sites to find event planning jobs
By Harald Meyer-Delius 26 May 2016
Looking for event planning jobs has always been a daunting task, to say the least. The browsing… the waiting… having to put up with your family and friends asking every other day: "How's the search going?" Just brilliant — How do you think it's going?
One would guess that with all the technology and job hunting platforms that are out there, it should have gotten easier, but I believe that it is, in fact, the opposite. Before we used to have a single listing on the Sunday newspaper, now in the online world there are endless ways to find a job.
With so much information out there, how can you tell apart the good from the lousy ones? (The question of the XXI century.) And how do you beat that other person those other hundreds of work-seekers who are noticing the looming last day of the month on their calendars — with no transfer being made the following week.
Not that I've ever been there. I wouldn't know — I just imagine. I've always been employed. I signed my first contract when I came out of my mother's womb, way before working with personalised clothing. It was kind of hard to pick up a pen with the tiny hands I had back then, but I managed.
Event Planning Jobs:
Top 20 Job Listing Sites for Event Planners
In this post, we'll specifically cover online platforms that either feature job listings relating to the event industry or offer resources that will help you land a job in the coveted sector.
Note: If you want to read a comprehensive guide on how to take your first steps into the event planning industry then I'd suggest reading this post we wrote a while back. You can also check the following information on volunteering, which is another way of entering the industry.
Online Jobs Listings specialised in the Events Industry
Association of Event Organisers (AEO)
An association with a mission to help its members through tools and any information they might need regarding the sector. Its job listing is not very large, but it does feature more information than most without the need of a membership.
Esp Recruitment
Since it was launched in 2000, ESP has been listing jobs related to the UK and international events industry. Aside from London, they also have offices in Dubai which is good to know in case you have ever been interested in working in the UAE.
Event Job Search
It is a job listing website specialised in the events industry. It is powered by C&IT and Event magazine, two of the leading news sources in the British Events Industry. One of the benefits of having a website dedicated solely to events is the ability to get a lot more specific on your search compared to a general job listing website.
International Special Events Society (ILEA)
For over 30 years the ILEA has provided its members with the information and networking opportunities necessaries to strive in the ever-changing industry of event management. The association has over 53 chapters around the globe and the UK branch offers a job listing section on their website. The only problem seems to be that it doesn't get updated very often. At the time of writing, their most recent offer is two months old.
MeetPie
Published by CAT Publications, MeetPie is one of the most important portals in the meeting industry. Among its most important features, there is an editorial section with the latest news and references from the industry and a jobs listing page. The platform might look visually dated compared to other sources on this list, but it is updated daily with relevant information and its got an experienced team behind it.
Other Specialised Job Listings
If you want to work in the media and marketing communication industry, then look no further. Aspire is a new name in the sector, but it gathers more than 22 years of experience thanks to the five recruitment agencies that prosper under its umbrella.

CareerScope
CareerScope is a free resource for those wanting to get into the hospitality and leisure industry. It offers advice for interviews, CV writing tips and work opportunities at any of their partner companies, among other services.
Creativepool
A platform that offers job listings in the creative sectors. The site's design and interface are gorgeous, which is expected since web design and graphic design are two of the most featured fields in the award winning platform. There are several positions relating to experience events, which are a big trend in the industry at the moment.
OnlyMarketingJobs
As the name suggests, this is a place to look for jobs related exclusively to marketing.
General Jobs Listing Websites
One of the best, if not the best job searching website on the internet. According to this infographic by Irish startup SocialTalent, the platform has been the number one job site in the UK for the past two years, indeed. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Aside from its great search engine and simple interface, Indeed has offices in ten countries and its website receives 180 million users monthly.
As a member of StepStone, one of the largest online job portals in the world, this award winning website posts around 150,000 job openings a month. They pride themselves in offering innovative tools like easy access to your profile from any device.
Is one of the newest and fastest-growing jobs and recruiting sites to enter the business. One of the cool features of this platform is the "interviews" section where users can talk about their interview experiences with specific companies. It is a service available only to those who "sign up" but it is free to do so.
Is often referred as the best jobs recruitment online platforms to come out of the press. According to their website, they have been leading the field for the past 20 years.
It is a recruitment platform with a long history that expands over 33 countries and employs around 9000 people.
A list like this one could not be complete without LinkedIn. Even though some still refuse to accept it, the platform has proven that it is an intrinsic part of today's job market. Did you know that there are around 20 million LinkedIn users in the UK alone? And that every second two new users join worldwide?
Inaugurated in 1995, reed.co.uk is considered the first British recruitment website launched by a recruitment agency. Every month the sites receives over 7 million job seekers and it is used by companies such as the BBC, Marks & Spencer, Vodafone and many more. Social talent named it the second best job listing website of 2015 in the UK.
The Sunday Times Appointments
Previously two separate job boards, The Times and The Sunday Times were joined to create an even bigger listing and offer a better service to their customers.
ABPCO (Association of British Professional Conference Organisers)
A great opportunity for those interested getting into the Conference Business in the UK. ABPCO organises several events throughout the year for its members to get to know each other and network. For those who want to join, the organisation offers different types of memberships from professional ones to student packages for £12 a year.
#EXTRA! Icould
Not to be confused with iCloud, Icould describes itself as a "…a small, dynamic charity, providing career inspiration and information for young people". The concept is simple, professionals from all kind of industries share their stories on how they got into the position they currently hold. If you search for "event manager" you'll find profiles of people who've entered the industry almost by accident while others don't even have a degree. By watching these videos, it becomes obvious that there is no such thing as a straight line when it comes to a career path.
T-shirt Printing for Events
Thanks to our five years of experience in the apparel-printing industry, we were able to design a platform catered towards the needs of event planners and brand managers who need efficient solutions. Printsome's T-shirts are produced locally and from the best-quality garments.

"old age sticks" by ee cummings.


Soon-to-be former Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson joined Fescoe in the Morningon 610 Sports Radio Wednesday morning after the Tuesday announcement that the team would let him become a free agent on March 14.
Johnson, who has spent the last 13 years with the Chiefs, reiterated on the program that it is his intention to continue playing for years to come.
"The fire still burns in me to make big plays, to help out young guys around me, to be that general where you're setting up everything," Johnson said. "Knowing the defense, making sure you anticipate to make plays and being that guy that the coach says, 'This guy's expectation is higher than what the coaches put on him, which is a big deal.
Johnson said he first learned about the Chiefs' direction after the season when he talked to general manager Brett Veach. Because of that conversation, the news Tuesday was no surprise.
The Chiefs were not interested, and though the 34-year-old Johnson said hearing that news was tough, he felt the organization handled the situation with class.
"They gave me a lot of respect by coming to me, telling me what was their game plan," he said. "Obviously, I wasn't in the game plan but they at least gave me that respect: 'Hey this is what we're doing. We're going young,' of course, but [they] appreciated everything I did for Kansas City and what I brought to table. My hat's off to Kansas City and the organization. They do a great job handling their players and handling their situations.
And though he won't be there to see the youth movement of the Reggie Raglands and the Ukeme Eligwes develop, he's optimistic in the immediate future of the club having been in the locker room and knowing what the Chiefs now have at their disposal.
"The Chiefs are on the rise with a young quarterback, with the young players they have there," he said. "They're going to do great. They're in the right direction. The only regret I have in Kansas City is I didn't bring a championship there during my tenure. That's one thing that hurts, when you think about that.
