In a coauthored essay in Re/code titled "Protecting the Internet from Government Control," Reps. Fred Upton Frederick (Fred) Stephen UptonOvernight Health Care: Lawmakers get deal to advance long-stalled drug pricing bill | House votes to condemn Trump's anti-ObamaCare push | Eight House Republicans join with Dems | Trump officials approve Medicaid expansion in Maine The 8 Republicans who voted against Trump's anti-ObamaCare push House condemns Trump's latest anti-ObamaCare push MORE (R-Mich.), Henry Waxman Henry Arnold WaxmanFinally, a presidential EMP order that may save American lives A(nother) chance for Congress on net neutrality Feehery: Lessons learned from John Dingell MORE (D-Calif.), Ed Royce Edward (Ed) Randall RoyceFormer GOP chairman Royce joins lobbying shop Lawmakers propose banning shark fin trade Bottom Line MORE (R-Calif.) and Eliot Engel Eliot Lance EngelDem House chairs: Mueller report 'does not exonerate the president' Live coverage: Frenzy in DC as Congress, White House brace for Mueller report House Dems demand Barr cancel 'inappropriate' press conference on Mueller report MORE (D-N.Y.) argue that the United States must not hand over Internet governance to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), controlled by 193 nations, or a similar international organization.
In no uncertain terms, the essay's authors, a foursome of committee chairs and ranking members, assert: "Handing over the reins of Internet governance to a body like the ITU would imperil the Internet at a time when its dynamism and innovation are benefitting more people around the globe than ever before." They warn that the current multi-stakeholder model for Internet governance must prevail if more countries around the world are to realize the transformative benefits of Internet connectivity.
It is critical that, on issues of Internet governance, the ITU-member states refrain from changing the current, well-functioning system. For continued advancement of the Internet, the world must maintain multi-stakeholder governance and reject efforts to recast the ITU or any other similar intergovernmental entity as an international Internet regulator.
I applaud this strong bipartisan expression of support for maintaining the current multi-stakeholder Internet governance approach in which private-sector and civil society organizations play dominant roles. But there is a persistent campaign underway by many ITU member countries to supplant the existing system with a regime in which governments would control the Internet. As the congressmen wryly observe, many of the countries at the forefront of this campaign do not "share our nation's passion for free expression."
But there are a few lines buried in the essay well worth highlighting, especially in light of President Obama's recent statement explicitly asking the supposedly independent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to adopt burdensome new net neutrality mandates by classifying Internet service providers as "telecommunications" providers under Title II of the Communications Act. Worth highlighting because, as the four congressmen state: "The ITU dates back to 1865, when it was established as the International Telegraph Union to coordinate the delivery of telegraphs among nations. Governments are the only voting members. Whether 'telegraph' or 'telecommunications,' ITU's mandate was never to cover the Internet."
Yes, that's right. What the ITU regulates, by the very terms of its operative agreement, is "telecommunications," and the agreement recognizes the right of each country to regulate telecommunications as it sees fit. So there is more than a little irony in the fact that Obama is asking the FCC to classify Internet services as regulated telecommunications services (which they are not now) and the FCC's chairman, Tom Wheeler, appears prepared to go along with the presidential direction.
I say "more than a little irony" because the Title II telecommunications designation by the FCC likely will have real-world impacts far more consequential than merely ironical. As I pointed out previously in this space, the effect of the FCC's regulation of Internet providers as telecommunications providers is likely to be just what Messrs. Upton, Waxman, Royce and Engel claim they wish to avoid — that is, the action will make it more likely that other countries will succeed in their quest to put Internet governance under government control.
In other words, despite any protestations to the contrary that may be uttered by U.S. officials, the FCC's action regulating Internet providers will speak louder than any justifications the agency may offer. Other countries, like China, Iran, Cuba and Russia, with unmistakable designs on exerting more control over Internet communications, will seize upon the FCC's new claim of regulatory authority as a justification for their own actions.
So, while I commend Reps. Upton, Waxman, Royce and Engel for their letter warning against attempts by foreign governments to take over control over the Internet, I also thank them for calling attention to the fact our own government, at President Obama's insistence, appears poised to act in a way that almost certainly will facilitate just such a control grab.

Loga Ramin Torkian's Mehraab Puts a New Spin on Classical Persian Music
Mehraab, the title of Iranian composer/multi-instrumentalist Loga Ramin Torkian's new album, means "shrine" in Persian. It's an enormously successful attempt to play classical Iranian instrumental music through the swirling, hypnotic prism of dreampop and shoegaze rock. Musically, this most closely resembles Copal's haunting Middle Eastern string-band dancefloor instrumentals; sonically, it's remarkably similar to Huun Huur Tu's landmark 2008 electroacoustic Eternal collaboration with producer Carmen Rizzo. Torkian takes care to mention in the liner notes that the electronics here are limited to how the instruments are processed, without any computerized backing tracks. Since all the instruments here are acoustic, the efx add welcome layers of sustain and reverb. Sometimes a riff becomes a loop; occasionally, the timbres are processed to oscillate or change shape as they move through the mix, dub style. Torkian plays a museum's worth of stringed instruments, including but not limited to guitar, sax, baglama, viola da gamba and rabab, accompanied by Khosro Ansari on vocals (singing in Farsi) and a small army of percussionists including Omer Avci, Zia Tabassian, Mohammed Mohsen Zadeh, Azam Ali and her bandmate Andre Harutounyan.
The songs are dreamy, windswept and often haunting. The opening instrumental, Gaven (The Wild Deer) works an apprehensive descending progression in the Arabic hijaz mode, lutes and strings over reverberating layers of percussion and an astringent viola da gamba passage. Az Pardeh (Through the Wall) contrasts a matter-of-fact lead vocal with a somewhat anguished, hypnotic drone playing tensely against a central note, in a stately 6/8 rhythm. Golzare Ashegh (Garden of Love) establishes a sense of longing with its austere arrangement and dreamlike ambience; Chashme Jadu (Your Bewitching Eyes) is absolutely bewitching, in a creepy way, ominous astringent atmospherics over echoey clip-clop percussion.
With its subtle oscillations working against a distant, reverberating loop, the title track brings to mind a Daniel Lanois production, a simple, memorable, ringing motif circling through the mix. It's the first part of what's essentially a suite, segueing into Parva (Compassion) with its dub echoes and trancelike flute. Souz-El-Del (The Burning Heart) is the most rhythmically tricky piece here, a forest of lutes and what sounds like a kamancheh (spiked fiddle) doubling the dark levantine melody – it's an absolutely gorgeous, sweepingly majestic, haunting song. They go out with a tersely wary, cello-like string theme. Simply one of the year's most captivating and haunting albums.

Not So Good for the Soul
Long before I became the Notmilkman, a favorite restaurant was Sylvia's on Malcolm X Boulevard in Harlem. Fast forward to 2016. I still enjoy dining in Harlem, minus Southern Fried Chicken, Deep-fried Coconut Shrimp, and Deep-fried Catfish of Sylvia fame at restaurants which have sprouted like fiddleheads in Harlem, representing the new "soul food" such as this one which I wrote about earlier this year:
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/NotMilk/conversations/messages/5753
Vegans do not eat chicken, shrimp, or catfish, arguing that animals do not need to die to satisfy their nourishment needs. For most vegans, it's a compassion issue. Now we learn that eating once-cherished soul food offers a bad choice thanks to the real science published in medical journals.
The November 15, 2015 edition of the International Journal of Cancer had some
very disturbing news for soul food lovers.
Researchers at the Department of Epidemiology and Cancer Center at the University of Alabama studied dietary patterns of cancer mortality of blacks and whites among 22,041 subjects over a ten-year period according to their
diets. Scientists broke their subjects down into the following groups:
1) Convenience (Chinese & Mexican foods, pasta),
2) Plant-based (fruits, vegetables),
3) Southern (added fats, fried foods, Sweets/Fats
(sugary foods) sugar-sweetened beverages), &Alcohol
4) Salads (green-leafy vegetables, salad dressing).
Doctors found:
"Greater adherence to the Southern dietary pattern was associated with an increased risk of cancer mortality...The convenience and Plant-based dietary patterns were associated with a 28% reduced risk of cancer mortality..."
Pass the collards, yams, & black-eyed peas.
"Soul food? It's like trying to cure starvation with a sugar cube. It might
taste sweet on the lips but once it dissolves, the emptiness is still there."

"Whoever falsely boast of giving is like clouds and wind without rain."
"Whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken done without walls."
"The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor; let them be caught in the plots which they have devised."

When the El Camino and Harbor college football teams embark on the 2008 season the first week of September, they will do so in different divisions and conferences than they were in last season, and will have several new teams on their respective schedules.
The newly formed Southern California Football Association used varying factors, including won-loss records of the last two years, the size of colleges, the recruiting area and competitive tradition to determine the new division and conference structures. The new divisions and conferences will be reviewed every two years.
The forming of the SCFA marks the end of the Mission Conference, which was established in 1969. El Camino joined the Mission Conference after the 1988 season. The Warriors have captured two outright Mission titles in the last three years and five outright conference championships since 1989.
El Camino, last year's Mission champion, is now part of the National Division, which has 21 teams in three conferences. El Camino is in the Central Conference with Citrus, College of the Desert, Mt. San Antonio, Riverside, Chaffey and Cerritos. The other two conferences in the division are the Northern Conference, which has Bakersfield and the Southern Conference, which has Long Beach City.
El Camino takes on L.A. Southwest at home on Sept. 6 in its opener at 6 p.m.
The Warriors' schedule also includes home games against Compton (Sept. 20), Chaffey (Oct. 11), College of the Desert (Oct. 18) and Cerritos (Nov. 15).
Harbor, which played in the Mountain Division of the Western State Conference last year, is now in the 16-team American Division, which has two conferences. Harbor is in the Mountain Conference with Southwestern, San Diego Mesa, Victor Valley, San Jacinto, Golden West, San Bernardino and Compton.
Harbor opens its season Saturday, Sept.6 at home against Long Beach City at 6 p.m. Harbor also has home games against Southwestern (Oct. 4), Victor Valley (Oct. 18), Compton (Nov. 1) and San Bernardino (Nov. 15).
With a couple of late commitments over the spring and summer, El Camino now has 25 players (including a redshirt) from last year's team currently on NCAA Division I rosters. Featherstone said it marks the most Division I transfers off any team he has ever coached in his 22 years at El Camino.
Linebacker Cory Lattimore, who was an All-Mission Conference first-team selection last season for the Warriors, signed with the University of Memphis in April. Tight end Cameron Graham signed with Louisville in June. Joe Perkins, will be a sophomore strong safety at Arizona.
The trio join an already impressive list of Division I transfers from El Camino that includes Cedric Mack (Florida International, DT), Tavares Pressley (Florida State, RB), Corey Surrency (Florida State, WR), Justin Thompson, Oregon, DT), Verran Tucker (Cal, WR), Simi Kuli (Oregon, DE), Pat Hill (Miami, FB), Brent McNeil (Oregon State, C), Taylor Wallace (San Diego State, RT), Boo Jackson (University of Ohio, QB), Josh Berard (Kansas State, DL), Kaipo Sarkissian (Tulsa, LB), Jeremy Francis (Oregon State, RB), Tolu Moala (Oklahoma State, LB), Rolando Barragan (Southern Mississippi, DT), David Decordova, University of Alabama-Birmingham, DT), Chris Williams (Utah State, FS), Lamar Chapman (Utah, DB), Hilton Dawson III (Ohio, SS), John Finau (Kansas State, DL), Jarret Gant (Idaho State, OG) and Greg Ray (Memphis, RB).
They join these six Harbor players already signed: JC Grid-Wire All-American Deryn Bowser (Akron, WR), Billy McClellan (Kansas State, DB), Jeramy Braynt (Hawaii, DB), Josh Luapo (Washington State, DL), David Pedersen (Portland State, LB) and Charles Mitchell (Grambling State, LB).


Mortgage refinancing can lower your monthly payments, which can add up to significant savings. Knowing your options is important, we can help refinance your home in Round Rock, TX.
We offer information on a variety of mortgage refinancing rates and options. When you are ready to take the next step, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. Waterloo Lending can advise you on which mortgage refinancing program best meets your needs, and help you refinance with minimal hassle and work.
Getting a new mortgage to replace the original is called refinancing. Refinancing is done to allow a borrower to obtain a better interest term and rate. The first loan is paid off, allowing the second loan to be created, instead of simply making a new mortgage and throwing out the original mortgage.
For borrowers with a perfect credit history, refinancing can be a good way to convert a variable loan rate to a fixed, and obtain a lower interest rate. Borrowers with less than perfect, or even bad credit, or too much debt, refinancing can be risky.
FHA mortgage loans are designed to help creditworthy individuals and families to buy a Round Rock, TX home. These loans are beneficial to those borrowers that wish to put a minimum 3.5% down payment on the home. FHA mortgage loans have more flexibility in terms of borrower qualifications.


After the automotive branch became aware of the advantages of nonwovens many years ago, the use of these products has seen a rapid increase over the last decade and, above all, an enormous increase in applications.
Today, nonwovens are extremely well established in the automobile branch and, because of their enormous innovative potential that nonwovens offer, their importance is continuing to increase.
In some applications nonwovens appear as a surface material. In many other functions they remain mostly in the background – mostly taking over uses decisive for the working of a particular component.
Our company of Lantor can rightly call itself a pioneer as we began supplying nonwovens to the automobile branch many years ago. We know the applications because of years of experience and have many tried-and-trusted solutions at hand available to you.
We will gladly analyse your application or advise you on your particular project. Simply speak to us or send us your enquiry.

Unleash the Archers – Abyss Review
By Dr. A.N. Grier on August 21, 2020 in Reviews, Power Metal, 126 comments
Apex: "The top of the highest point of something; especially one forming a point."1 So… the highest point of a point.2 Got it. To name an album "Apex" is brave because it condemns everything created before and after it. Yet, Unleash the Archers made the title of the album work on two fronts: it's a perfect title for the album's concept and it's their best record since the band's conception. Though Unleash the Archers remains the goofy power metal band they've always been, Apex was a serious release. Lyrics, story, songwriting—Apex captured the band at their absolute best. Abyss: "A deep and seemingly bottomless pit."3 So, a pit, no matter its depth, so scary and hopeless that you wouldn't follow a hit baseball down it.4 To follow-up an album called Apex with one called Abyss may be the most condemning thing yet. Is it clever or is the shortest distance between the summit and a hole in the ground straight down?5
Ha! I still got it. And you. Abyss is not the bottom of the band's career—not by a long shot. As I'm sure you're aware, Abyss is the sequel to Apex. Immortal6 is back. But summoned by who? Well, remember that moment in Apex where Immortal starts killing all The Matriarch's sons and arrives at the last? The one he befriends in "Earth and Ashes"? Yeah, it's him. No, shit, sorry. He's dead. It's his son. That's right, the offspring summons Immortal from his7 to destroy The Matriarch. This pure-hearted grandson of a monster has brought forth Immortal to avenge his father. But The Matriarch is more powerful than we all imagined. Will it be curtains for our brave Immortal?
Abyss by Unleash The Archers
"Waking Dream" sets the stage in much the same way "Awakening" did for Apex. Using pallets of emotion and acoustic work, it builds the intro up to the album's title-tracked follow-up. From there, it explodes in classic UtA fashion. "Abyss" unleashes beefy riffs, booming chants, great solos, and Slayes, well… slays. "Faster than Light" takes the familiar sounds of Apex and molds it to the character of Abyss. As Immortal races to free her/himself from The Matriarch, the lightning-fast pace of the song gets even better with Saunders and Truesdell's ridiculously-technical, DragonForce-like soloing.
But The Matriarch catches up with Immortal and the battle of the century is upon us. "The Wind That Shapes the Land" is the most epic piece the band has ever written. Mood-directed, the battle combines bombastic Kamelot atmospheres with melodic-death-ish vocal patterns. Story-wise, Immortal unleashes8 all she/he's got. After the battle, the emotion turns to upbeat relief and a peaceful moment. Unfortunately, the transition is a bit jarring and not one of my favorite parts of the album. Closer "Afterlife" pushes it further. Immortal, confused with a freedom she/he doesn't understand, hears the son (Andrew Saunders) sing clean clairvoyance into one ear while The Matriarch (Grant Truesdell) growls the opposite in the other. Covering it all in a warm blanket of Nightwishy orchestration that is both fitting and over-the-top.
Beyond the songs that sound like a continuation of Apex, as well as those that are epic and orchestral, we have other songs that break the boundaries of Unleash the Archers. An Iced Earth/Iron Maiden sound is nothing new to the band, but "Through Stars" unleashes it via an accessible chorus and mighty guitar work that makes the ole eyebrows arc. But that's nothing. As simplistically coordinated as "Through Stars," "Soulbound" unveils full-on Wintersun guitar/keyboard atmospheres. Each strike and stroke emphasizing the pain in Immortal's heart. But the song that has everyone's heads turning is "Legacy." An attention-getter for its unique vocal delivery and guitar-soloing builds. With its powerful approach and foot-tapping uniqueness comes an intro straight from the halls of Volbeat. That said, it's something no one has heard from UtA and that's the main reason so many people dig it. It's also addictive af.
After traveling from "Waking Dream" to the "Afterlife," it's Grier-clear that Apex is the straight line up from the Abyss. Does that mean Abyss is garbage? Hell no. Does it mean it's less of an album than Time Stands Still? Not a chance. Abyss is this side of Apex—nowhere near bad and not quite perfect. I know the line I've made is motherfucking fine. Many will agree with my verdict and others will detest me, like a snake. I'm not wrong (in this case) but Abyss still kicks ass and Unleash the Archers remain one of the best in their field. If you get nothing else from this review, it's this: CHECK THIS OUT.

Q: Why is Cygwin ftp hanging on connect? I'm trying to use the Cygwin ftp client in Windows 7 but it just hangs on connect:
$ ftp -d ftp.redhat.com
User (ftp.redhat.com:(none)): anonymous
---> USER anonymous
Password:

Windows ftp from a command prompt connects without any issue:
C:\> ftp ftp.redhat.com
Connected to ftp.redhat.com.
220 Red Hat FTP server ready. All transfers are logged. <FTP> [no EPSV]
User (ftp.redhat.com:(none)): anonymous
331 Please specify the password.
Password:
230 Login successful.
ftp>

A: I think that the appearance is misleading.
Could it be that there is no default FTP support in Cygwin ?
$ which ftp
/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/ftp

whereas the usual directory for Cygwin executables has no such file:
$ ls /usr/bin/ftp*
ls: cannot access /usr/bin/ftp*: No such file or directory

That means that it's actually the Windows7 FTP client that is being launched from the Cygwin prompt, which is currently not supported. In the link provided by Tim Supinie, compatibility problems are mentioned for the blanking that needs to happen when the user enters his password.
My solution has been to look for a Cygwin variant of FTP, but Cygwin's setup.exe is remarkably clumsy at this point. I was only being offered some fancier FTP clients. The solution was also provided in that link. Kevin Panko, it literally instructs to download the inetutils package in Cygwin, which contains popular networking clients. By entering that word in Cygwin's setup.exe, I ended up with the true native FTP client under Cygwin, as proven by:
$ which ftp
/usr/bin/ftp

A: Were you able to find an answer?  I ran into this problem recently, and this link seems to indicate that Cygwin cannot run FTP natively.  One needs to download a separate Cygwin FTP client or just use the native Windows command line FTP client.  As for the reason why Cygwin fails, the link goes into a little bit of detail.

Donation Pledge: Black Trans Lives Matter
This week, as part of our Eight Weeks of Giving pledge, we are donating $1,500 in support of Black trans lives. June is LGBTQ+ Pride month, and Pride exists because of queer people of color. Pride is celebrated on the anniversary of a homophobic police raid on the gay bar the Stonewall Inn in New York the summer of 1969. The resulting riots, which were led by Black and brown transgender women including Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, are often cited as the spark that ignited the modern LGTBQ+ civil rights movement. Despite the pivotal role Black trans people have played in this movement, they continue to suffer the often lethal consequences of racism, sexism, and transphobia, including disproportionate police violence. Their deaths are largely ignored by the criminal justice system and mainstream media.
Tony McDade and Nina Pop are just two of the names in the devastatingly long list of Black trans people who were victims of anti-Black, anti-trans violence. At least twenty-six transgender or gender non-conforming people were violently killed in 2019, and at least fourteen trans individuals have been murdered so far in 2020, most of whom are Black—including Dominique "Rem'mie" Fells and Riah Milton just this past week. The American Medical Association has deemed violence against trans people an epidemic, with trans women of color being the most vulnerable.
We are donating $1,500 to The Marsha P. Johnson Institute (MPJI). The MPJI protects, defends, and promotes the collective power of Black transgender people through organizing and advocacy. A recent initiative includes the Martha P. Johnson Safety and Wellness Act, which provides Black trans women with a platform to design a national model for policies and legislation that prioritize the safety and wellness of their communities.

We live in a world where two way communication is always possible - social media not only gives us the power to speak to an audience, but to listen to them as well. As marketers, this is something that we could be better at... listening. We worry so much about getting our content in front of the right audience that we often forget to do the most important thing - to ask questions around the best way to actually do this.
Influencers across the globe are building niche followings on social channels like Instagram, YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. They do what every brand can only dream of - they captivate their audiences and influence the people around them every day. If you're considering working with Influencers in the near future, it makes sense that the first bit of research you should be doing is around how to borrow that audience in a credible way. And who knows better than the influencers themselves?
I decided to crowd source this blog post because the only real way to find tips worth mentioning is to ask the Influencers around me. We work with over 4000 influencers every day at Webfluential, and they know a thing or two about branded content. Below are the top 8 tips that brands should consider before running their next influencer campaign - from influencers themselves.
Tip 1 by Lauren Prior: Brands need to let go, as scary as that sounds! Influencers have built up a large following because they know what they're doing.
Tip 2 by WorkshopShed: Have realistic expectations. If you work with an Influencer Platform that has experience in this field, it'll be easier for you to set realistic goals.
Tip 3 by Cecilie Corso: Help bloggers find the right angle. They don't know your product as well as you.
Tip 4 by Miss West End Girl: Be clear about your expectations upfront. Changing the scope at a later stage usually ends in the quality of the campaign being affected.
Tip 5 by Prisca: Brand presence should reflect business values, not merely product. This might just be my favorite tip.
Tip 6 by While I'm Young & Skinny: Do your research - this will help you find influencers most relevant to work with your brand.
Tip 7 by Stacy Vee: Don't be scared to give influencers more creative control, and tailor your messaging to each influencer.
Tip 8 by Miss Lelo: Pay up. Influencers have spent a long time building the audiences you're trying to borrow. Show them that you understand that by compensating them properly.

Crockin' Mom headlining 'Girls Night Out'
MICHELLE GANASSI michelleg@dailyamerican.com
Lisa Kozich started Crockin' Moms as a way to connect with and encourage other moms.
Now the Pittsburgh-area author, speaker, blogger, and radio and television host is bringing her insights to the Daily American's "Girls Night Out," scheduled for 6 to 9 p.m. Nov. 4 at the Quality Inn in Somerset.
"We are very excited to hold our first-ever 'Girls Night Out' event," Daily American digital media manager Genna Smith said. "It is going to be a great time for women to get together with their girlfriends to shop, taste wine from three different wineries, taste moonshine and just have an amazing night out."
Kozich, a Johnstown native, has grown her brand through her blog, which reaches up to 2 million people a week. She is a guest host on SiriusXM Radio, her recipes have been featured on "FABLife" by Chrissy Teigen and Tyra Banks, and she is preparing for television and book deals.
"My show will be a lifestyle talk show with recipes, fashion, trending topics and empowering and inspiring stories for others," she said.
Kozich, who holds a master's degree as a counseling therapist, said Crockin' Moms started because, like many women, she is a busy mom.
"I wanted to make sure I came home to a really good home-cooked meal," she said.
She started looking at different ways to make dinner in a crock pot and shared her recipes.
"You can make cake, pizza, anything and everything, mulled cider, candy," she said. "It's so good and it's convenient. When I created these blogs, it just started growing."
She said she cooks all kinds of things in the crock pot, including wings, hamburgers and meat loaf.
"One year I made a whole Thanksgiving dinner in the crock pot," she said.
Kozich said she enjoys meeting fans and sharing stories to make their lives easier. She said she is looking forward to the Daily American's event.
"I am so excited," she said. "I think it is going to be fun."
Smith said she is excited to have Kozich at the event.
"Lisa Kozich is an exciting guest to have at the 'Girls Night Out' event," she said. "She has made herself a brand just by being an awesome mom and learning how to balance life with making dinner easier for all moms out there. Crock Pot Moms is a great Facebook page to find easy, healthy meals to feed our families in between running to sports, Scouts, dance, church and everywhere else."
Tickets for the event are $15 and include a tasting glass, swag bag and admission. Only 400 tickets are available.
"We are planning on a sellout, so people need to get their tickets now to make sure they do not miss out," Smith said.
For more information on Kozich, visit her Facebook page, www.facebook.com/crockpotmom, or her website, http://crockmoms.com/.


Most people don't get enough fruits and vegetables in their day, which is bad because vitamins and minerals (provided in fruits and vegetables) run metabolism and help your body fight illness and recover. Many people tend to think of juicing or cleanses when someone mentions eating more "green" foods. However, it's important to consider "going green" as including more produce in general. By increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables consumed in your daily diet, energy levels and recovery levels improve too! Each color of fruit or vegetable provides different combinations of vitamins and/or minerals so it's important to include all colors.
Hydration levels also increase! Fruit and vegetables are made up of water along with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants helping you to recover from exercise, clear up skin and stay focused.
So how can you start including more "green" foods in your daily routine? Start here!
a. Try spinach or kale in smoothies – it's tasteless!
a. Roasted veggies: Cut them up, drizzle/toss them toss in olive oil, sprinkle on salt and pepper, and put them on a foil lined pan in the oven at 400 degrees F for 20-30 minutes.
b. Stir Fry or Sautee: Throw slices of your favorite green in a pan with some oil on medium high heat for ~5 minutes until they become soft and lighter in color.
c. Grill: Place asparagus, carrots, etc. into a foil pouch with olive oil & seasonings. Toss onto the grill while your meat or other food is cooking.
a. Make "Chips" with kale or chard: Remove the leaves from the thick stems and tear into bite size pieces. Wash and thoroughly dry kale. Drizzle kale with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning salt. Bake @ 400 F for 10 minutes.
b. Chop up strawberries and walnuts and sprinkle them over a bed of fresh spinach for a delicious salad.
c. Find lots of ideas on Pinterest by searching the name of your favorite green!

Well, there is nothing I like more than settling down with a cup of tea and something to read. I have always had a passion for current affairs and in our century there was always something exciting happening somewhere in the world, sometimes on your own doorstep. On a chilly, misty day like this one a lady doesn't always want to venture out to the print shop and so I was very pleased when, on this date in 1702, the estimable Elizabeth Mallet published The Daily Courant.
The Courant was the first daily English language newspaper to be published in Britain and Mallet produced it from her premises beside the Kings Arms on Fleet Bridge. It was, of course, only one page, so no troublesome glossy supplements to clutter up the salon, but one could read reports of the news of the day and then turn over and browse advertisements on the reverse. Mallet's intention was to present only overseas news and to offer no opinion or bias, believing that her readers were intelligent enough to draw their own conclusions on important matters.
Well aware that a female name on the byline might not endear her newspaper to the public, Mallet published the Courant under the name E Mallet. She passed ownership of the paper to Samuel Buckley in 1703 and then faded from the annals of history until 1706, when reference can be found to her estate, suggesting that Mallet was dead by this date. Buckley, of course, went from strength to strength and eventually made his name as the printer of The Spectator.
The Courant was not without its controversies though and on 7th April 1712, the paper printed an account of business in the House of Commons translated from a Dutch source. Publishing the business of parliament was a serious matter and Buckley was punished with a hefty fine for his wrongdoing.
The Courant continued for 34 years under Buckley's stewardship and in 1735 it merged with the Daily Gazetteer. Buckley himself passed away five years later, his place in the history of printing assured.

A very interesting tale about a Lady who should be more acknowledged.


In a major new initiative to strengthen our regional food system and further our mission, Strolling of the Heifers has acquired the Robert H. Gibson River Garden, a beautiful building prominently located at 157 Main Street in the heart of downtown Brattleboro.
We are developing, at the River Garden, a vibrant new regional resource: The Farm/Food Innovation Center. At the same time, this 4500 square-foot space continues to be available as a public resource.
The River Garden has 4500 square feet of open space, used since 2001 for public events, performances, lectures and exhibits. Under our stewardship of this community resource, we plan to maintain the public uses of the building, but also to create programming, facilities, and exhibits that are related to our own focus areas of local food, food systems, and healthy sustainable living — a Farm/Food Innovation Center.
At the Center, we will tell the story of agriculture and food systems in our region, past, present and future. Our goal is for the Center to become widely known as a destination — as a place for discovery. People will come here to learn about Vermont's agricultural legacy, its current agricultural economy, and its agricultural future. A visit to the River Garden will tell people how the local food system in our region works: what farmers produce, how it is aggregated and distributed, what kinds of businesses process and add value to local farm products, where our local farm and food products are distributed, sold and consumed, and how farmers, consumers and regions benefit when they actively strengthen local food networks. Visitors will encounter the story of a rich legacy, a set of bright opportunities, and a promising future of sustainable enterprises.
Come visit now and continue to check our progress as we work towards this exciting new Center!

Kelly Kicking Cancer hosted its 4th annual Shamrock Sprint at the Covington trail head on Saturday March 9. Over 200 runners participated to help make our 5K a big success. You helped us raise over $15,000 to fight brain cancer through advanced research.
Beneath slightly overcast skies, the morning of fun, food and camaraderie was kicked off by Elizabeth Burris singing a beautiful rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner". Covington Mayor Mike Cooper kicked off the 1 mile Fun Run. Eleven year old Dan Barnard of Covington placed first with a time of 6:07, followed by Corrine Durio of Mandeville (7:13) and Amber Buquet of Covington (7:19). The 5K was won by Frankie Durio of St. Paul's School with a time of 16:33, followed by Ed Washburn of Mandeville (16:51) and Don Garvey of Mandeville (19:46). This was Frankie's third straight victory in the Shamrock Sprint! Congratulations to all the participants who ran, strolled or walked their way through the course.
Dan Barnard, 1 mile Fun Run winner.
While the results were being tabulated, we were entertained by the McElroy Irish Step Dancers. These talented young dancers put on a great show for us.
We had a special appearance from the the Chick Fil A Cow and Mini-Moo The Calf. These crowd pleasers circulated through the crowd all morning, encouraging the runners, handing out gifts and bringing general cheer to everyone. Whoever you are, you are always welcome.
We were blessed with the presence of a courageous young woman, Megan Deen, a recent graduate of Mississippi College who knew of Kelly. Megan contacted us last fall after she was diagnosed with brain cancer. We shared our experiences of the disease with her and what she might expect. Since then Megan has had surgery to remove the tumor and is continuing to recover from this devastating disease. She is a strong woman, and we pray for her continued recovery. Thank you Megan!
The success of the 2019 Shamrock Sprint was the result of the hard work of hundreds of volunteers who share our commitment to eradicating brain cancer. A special thanks to our 5K Chair Cathy Lackner for her tireless dedication. Thank you to all the vendors for participating, and to Gallagher's, Jim Marque/Halliburton, Jimmy Johns, Dunkin' Donuts, McAlister's, Chick Fil A, and Jersey Mike's for the abundance of food, and Crescent Crown Distributing and Artesia Apartment Homes for the beer and water. No one ever leaves the Shamrock Sprint hungry or thirsty! Thank you to the dozens of course marshals who work to keep things safes for the runners, and thank you to those who participated in the run. You have made the 2019 Shamrock Sprint a great success.

Rei from the manga Mars, is the closest resemblence to Vincent Lockhart
The Introduction to Vincent Lockhart
When people think of the name Lockhart they're ready to roll their eyes and scream out "FRAUD!!" Well, that is the life Vincent Lockhart must put up with everyday. One mistake his uncle makes and his popularity drops rapidly. Fans rip his posters infront of him, girls look at him in disgust, and his own friends poke fun at him.
How would that make you feel?
Up until the end of his third year at Durmstrang, Vincent was a self-assured, arrogant boy. The girls loved him and every guy felt special just to stand near him. Aside from Potter, Vincent was just as popular. He was used to the fame, but he still felt emptiness up until his uncle admitted that he was a fraud. Then Vincent knew the real him and he began to question more about his past and his life.
Vincent's parents died when he was only a few months old. He is still unaware of the accident. His uncle, Gilderoy, whom he lives with does not want to be reminded of the their deaths. All he tells Vincent is that he would have been disgusted by his parents' actions. Still, every teenage boy is going to be curious.
Vincent Lockhart is not your average teenage student. Suffering from family pressure and parental loss, Vincent has many different personalities. Aside from the teenage mood swings, he is a defender, entertainer, fighter, discriminator, writer, actor, a smoker, a lover, a sports player, a user, a hater, a laugher, and just an ordinary student. But the most important thing about Vincent is that he is a survivor. After taking in so much, he still lives and he still goes on. That is what matters most.
This story my friends, is a story of a teenager like any teenager. That decides to live life his way instead of in the shadow of fame.

Q: Analysis of overdamped series RLC circuit (from "Foundations of Analog and Digital Circuits") I'm working my way through "Foundations of Analog and Digital Circuits (Agarwal)" and am, for the first time, stumped.
Specifically, they analyze an over-damped, undriven series RLC circuit in section 12.2.2. To illustrate the circuit's behavior when R grows very large, the limits of the roots s1 and s2 as R tends to infinity are computed.
Like so:

I'm fine with the result for s1. The one for s2 has me baffled and particularly so in light of the result for s1. For 12.70, I see the expression in parentheses evaluating to '1 - 1' when R grows very large (just as it evaluated to '1 + 1' in the case of 12.69).
What am I missing?

A: When alpha grows the expression under square root do not tend to 1-1, it tends to 1-0 or better to
$$
\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{\omega_0}{\alpha}\right)^2}\rightarrow1-\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\omega_0}{\alpha}\right)^2
$$
it's a well known limit.
$$
a\rightarrow 0\quad\quad\Rightarrow\quad\quad\sqrt{1\pm a}\rightarrow1\pm\frac{a}{2}$$
In case 12.69 we disregard the (small) fraction against 2.
In case 12.70 the (small) fraction is the only thing remaining.


With a story as dramatic and tragic as the Gothic novels she wrote, Charlotte Brontë's life was not only fascinating, it was inspiring. The main force driving her family, Charlotte encouraged her sisters as poets and novelists, stepped in to support the family after her brother's death, travelled Europe, and using her own experiences, crafted trailblazing female characters. In this extract from Charlotte Brontë: A Life, you can catch a glimpse of the unique life that inspired her stories.

Netherlands goalkeeper out of final squad after testing positive for COVID
June 3, 2021 June 8, 2021 writer
Goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen was ruled out of the Netherlands squad for the Euro 2020 due to fitness doubts after he contracted COVID-19 this week. The Dutch soccer federation said that the Valencia goalkeeper, who was included in Frank de Boer's final 26-man squad for the European Championship, will be replaced by Marco Bizot in the 26-man final squad. Follow us for updates on Bundesliga table.
"The Dutch team's medical staff is closely monitoring his condition and will be reinstated to the team as soon as he is medically responsible," the Dutch Football Association said in a statement. De Boer is taking his squad to Lagos, Portugal this weekend for a training camp, including a friendly against Scotland on June 2 and Georgia. Be the first to catch live football match odds here.
Cillessen is the first COVID-19 related case in the tournament after the national team named its final 26-man squad. UEFA allowed the 24 national teams at Euro 2020 to have three extra players in a 26-man squad to help cover for COVID-19 cases and mandatory isolation or quarantine. "The rest of the squad was retested for COVID-19 and returned negative results," the statement added.
Cillessen, who has 60 caps for his country, had been a back-up to Tim Krul since the memorable 2014 World Cup quarterfinal match, when Cillessen was taken off late in extra time of a 0-0 draw with Costa Rica so that penalty specialist Krul could take part in the shootout. AZ keeper Marco Bizot, who has been part of the Netherlands' warm-up preparations, has now been included in the final squad.
"I informed Jasper of my decision this morning," the head coach told a press conference earlier this week. "Let me start by saying that I find this incredibly unpleasant for Jasper. But I had to take the plunge. He is known to have tested positive for corona. As a result, he missed an important part of the preparation. We don't know how long it will take until he is 100 per cent fit again."
Cillessen is symptom-free and medical staff are closely monitoring his condition. The Oranjes opens its Euro 2020 campaign in Amsterdam on June 13 against Ukraine in the Group C game. After their meeting with Ukraine, De Boer's side will have four days to prepare for a clash with Austria before wrapping up their pool schedule against North Macedonia on June 21.

Feral cats generally refer to felines which have returned (in some extent) to their untamed state. They at first were domestic cats which most probably got lost or were abandoned and have eventually learned to survive outdoors. Or, they are the offspring of other feral cats and have never experienced human contact. They often live in places where there is very limited human interaction such as in storage spaces and deserted buildings. Although considered to be wild, feral cats are not entirely undomesticated – most of them still depend on people as a food source, and only a few of them manage to subsist just by hunting.
Because of limited population control methods and inadequate ways to manage these cats' ability to reproduce quickly, it has been found out that an estimate of 70 million feral cats live in the US nowadays. The overpopulation is linked to the decimation of bird and other wildlife populations as well as the apparent threat to public health.
Trap-Neuter-Return (or TNR) is a humane and effective method -also said to be the ONLY kind and operative way- at controlling the growth of feral cat population. It respects these cats' wild state by neutering them and then returning them to their territory while providing enough food and shelter as well as giving them the chance to live among their own.
The TNR technique generally involves trapping all the feral cats in a colony, having them neutered by a veterinarian, vaccinating them against rabies and sometimes other diseases, and then returning them to their place where caretakers can look after them. Often times, the feral cat's ear will be tipped – a universal sign that indicates he has been neutered. Young feral kittens which can still be socialized, as well as friendly feral adults are placed in foster care so they can be adopted out, in due course, to good homes.
TNR offers lots of advantages. It helps in stabilizing colony size immediately by preventing and eliminating new litters, and the troubling behavior associated with them being intact is significantly reduced. Aside from that, the returned feral cats tend to guard their colony; thereby, keeping un-neutered felines from moving in and starting the overpopulation cycle and nuisance behavior all over again.
TNR works extremely well to reduce feral cat populations. In fact, a PhD study in North Carolina found that TNR consistently reduced the populations of feral cat colonies by 36% over two years, while the non-TNR'd colonies increased by 47%.
Educate yourself with the TNR method and learn how the technique works.
Create a supportive and cooperative neighborhood by building good community relations.
Prepare for trapping by putting up feeding stations that follow a regular schedule and adequate shelters that promote feline health.
Secure a suitable holding space for feline trapping and neutering.
Find a clinic or arrange with a vet for low-cost but safe spaying/neutering.
Work with animal rescue groups to help you prepare and decide on what should be done to adoptable kittens and adult cats.
Trap the cats only when everything else is in place.
Before you start a TNR project in your area, be sure to check the current laws that prohibit people from dumping or abandoning cats. In some cases, collecting and neutering cats makes you legally responsible for that animal. Sometimes, by releasing a trapped cat back into their colony, the law considers you to have abandoned the cat. These laws, however, are changing to support those who practice TNR, such as this recent proposed bill for the state of Maryland.
Will You Join the Community Cat Movement?
How can i find out if there is already a TNR in my city???
I have 6 ferals that I take care of at my house. They are all fixed and vetted. They are now about 18 yrs old and pretty much stay around the house. This is a cause that is near and dear to my heart.

NanoSight announces a new generation nanoparticle characterisation system – The NanoSight NS500
NanoSight, manufacturers of unique nanoparticle characterisation technology, announces the release of the NS500 system. The NS500 incorporates new hardware and software to deliver NanoSight's growing capability in particle-by-particle characterisation in an automated package. The first system is in use at the University of Oxford in the Nuffield Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the John Radcliffe Hospital as part of a program supported by the Wellcome Foundation.
NanoSight's technology, known as Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA), provides a high-resolution particle size distribution, and not by DLS (dynamic light scattering). NTA detects individual particles as small as 20nm and, in real time, simultaneously tracks and sizes whole populations. The result is a particle size distribution that provides researchers with an over view of their samples showing everything in the whole range 20 - 1,000nm. NTA also provides count and concentration, together with a unique view which validates these results.
The NS500 adds fluorescence capability, enabling the user to tune into individual particles, with sensitivity to detect individual quantum dots whilst eliminating background interference of other particles and media. Standard beads may be used to bind to single particles for optimum study.
The fluid handling capability of NS500 provides the user with auto sample presentation and in-situ cleaning. It is now a routine process to clean the cell with the ability to purge, flush and load samples through user-customisable software. Dilution may also be optimised then controlled in this way. Ease of use is further enhanced with a motorised focus function to readily home in on the particles under study. In direct response to user feedback this is augmented with an indexed motorised stage, controlled through the software and providing excellent repeatability in positioning. The temperature control of the cell offers a broad range (15˚C to 55˚C) and programmable temperature cycling, with rapid attainment of set-point facilitating faster sample measurement and turnaround.
The goal of the NS500 is to provide an easy-to-use, reproducible platform applicable for specific and general nanoparticle characterisation use. So whether the application is to control size in nanoparticle development, provide rapid virus titer or measure the kinetics of protein aggregation, the NS500 system is the solution.
To learn more about nanoparticle characterisation using NTA, please visit the company's website (www.nanosight.com) and register for the latest issue of NanoTrail, the company's electronic newsletter.

==========

.. versionadded:: 0.5.3

:command:`rbt setup-repo` will interactively configure your repository to point
to a Review Board server by generating or overwriting the configuration file
:file:`.reviewboardrc` in the current working directory.

.. rbt-command-usage::

.. _rbt-setup-repo-configuring-repositories:

Configuring repositories on your server
=======================================

Prior to running ``setup-repo``, ensure that your repositories are configured
on the Review Board server you wish to connect to. RBTools will not find
repositories that have not been added to the server.

If you are an RBCommons_ customer, you can add repositories under your team
administration settings. If you are managing your own deployment of Review
Board, refer to the Admin Dashboard. :ref:`Learn more about configuring
repositories <rb:repositories>`.

Setting up your server
======================

If :rbtconfig:`REVIEWBOARD_URL` is not defined in your
:ref:`rbtools-reviewboardrc`, you will be prompted to enter the URL of a valid
Review Board server you want to connect to. Alternatively, you may use
:option:`--server` to skip this prompt.

Note that if you use RBCommons, you will need to verify your RBCommons
credentials first.

Selecting a repository
======================

If RBTools finds multiple repositories in your Review Board server, you can
select which repository you want to use. If no repositories are found,
this means that you currently have no repositories configured on your server
(see :ref:`configuring repositories on your server
<rbt-setup-repo-configuring-repositories>`).

When you select a repository, you will be prompted to confirm the repository
of your choice, as well as any changes to your current ``.reviewboardrc``
configuration file. Confirming will generate or update your ``.reviewboardrc``
with information related to your chosen repository.

After generating ``.reviewboardrc``
===================================

Thanks to your newly generated ``.reviewboardrc`` file, you can now use
RBTools to communicate between your chosen repository and your Review
Board server.

Keefe and the Marlies off to the Calder Cup Final
Matt Stefano
The Calder Cup Final is set to get underway this Saturday at 4:00 p.m. between the Toronto Marlies and the Texas Stars.
The Marlies, who are the affiliate team of the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs, finished first in the American Hockey League standings during the 2017-2018 regular season, with a record of 54 wins, 18 losses, 2 overtime losses and 2 shootout losses, good for 112 points.
Former Soo Greyhounds bench boss Sheldon Keefe, who was named head coach of the Toronto Marlies three years ago, helped lead the Marlies to a franchise best 54 win and 114 point season in 2015-2016.
During the 2017-2018 regular season, Keefe and the Marlies hit 54 wins for the just the second time in team history, and just the second in three seasons, both under head coach Sheldon Keefe.
Here's another interesting fact for you!
Back in the 2014-2015 regular season as head coach of the Soo Greyhounds, Keefe helped guide the club to a 54 win season, and since then, has had two 54 win seasons as an AHL head coach.
I guess you can say 54 is a lucky number for Keefe!
The Marlies also have five other members on their club who came out of the Soo Greyhounds organization, including AJ MacLean (assistant coach), Richard Rotenberg (director of conditioning), Kyle Dubas (general manager), defenceman Alex Gudbranson and forward Jean Dupuy.
The Marlies will be looking to capture their first ever Calder Cup title while the Texas Stars will try to win it for the first time since 2014.
The Texas Stars, not to mention, are the affiliate team of the NHL's Dallas Stars, but have no former Soo Greyhounds part of that organization.
The Stars finished 12th in the American Hockey League's 30 team loop during the 2017-2018 regular season, with a record of 38 wins, 24 losses, 8 overtime losses and 6 shootout losses, good for 90 points.
So with another 54 win regular season in the books for Keefe, will he and the Marlies finally be rewarded for it?

Bradley pitcher makes name for himself
By Scout on February 17, 2012
Bradley pitcher Joe Bircher may be the best athlete on campus, but you would never know it from talking to him.
The 6-foot-4-inch senior from Omaha, Neb. has a quiet confidence and, despite individual success, always puts the team and program first.
Bircher has been a well-known commodity in the Missouri Valley Conference, posting a sub four earned run average in his first three years on the Hilltop. He is the Bradley active leader in almost every pitching category including wins, ERA, starts, innings pitched and strikeouts.
But it wasn't until his strong play this summer in the prestigious Cape Cod League that Bircher began to be noticed nationally.
The ten-team league attracts the best collegiate players from around the country. In 2010, 236 former Cape Cod League players were on MLB rosters.
This summer, Bircher didn't just compete against the nation's best, he thrived.
Bircher led the league in strikeouts with 48 and was second in ERA. He was rewarded with all-league honors.
"It's obviously given me a whole lot of confidence to know I can go out there and succeed against a lot of the best hitters in the nation," Bircher said. "I'm going to try to use what I learned this spring. It was just a great opportunity and one of the best summers of my life."
Bircher's strong play attracted the attention of College Baseball Daily who ranked him the No. 56 player in college baseball.
"It's an honor [to be named one of the top 100 players in college baseball]," Bircher said. "There are some fantastic players on the list. It's a great privilege to be mentioned in the same breath as those guys."
Over the course of his career Bircher said he has grown mentally and physically. He credits pitching coach John Corbin and his teammates for pushing him to get better.
"I've gotten stronger in every aspect of my game," he said. "I've been able to throw harder and do more things with my pitches. It's been a real good environment for growing in every aspect, mental and physical."
With the 2012 season beginning today, Bircher is focused on the team and turning Bradley into a winning program.
"We have a lot of senior leadership," he said. "We have good older players as well as some younger talent. We could really make a splash and make a lot of noise in the conference. I think our goals for this season, just like any good team, is to win. Bottom line, we haven't had a really great season since I've been here. It's time. I'm really excited to see what we can do this year."
Bircher is all but a lock to be drafted in June's MLB draft. He has dreamed of playing professional baseball since the first day he began playing the game as a seven year old.
"Ever since I've picked up a baseball and you see the guys on TV, you want to be out there with those guys," Bircher said. "God willing, there's going to be an opportunity for me to play and if I'm that lucky I just consider it a great blessing."
Despite tremendous success Bircher said he isn't concerned with creating an individual legacy in his final year as a Brave. In the end, the only thing Bircher is concerned about is the team.
"I want to make this season a turn around year so we can become a winning program," he said. "That's what's more important to me."

About Face, the sparkling new book about Dorothy (Dottie)Ponedel, is jaw-dropping in content and in its total lack of pretense inpursuit of it subject. Ms. Ponedel was a ground breaker in the motion picturebusiness, arriving in Los Angeles in the 1920s, and first finding a variedcareer as an extra and actress in small roles in the fledgling motion pictureindustry. Through a series of happenstances, she evolved into the major femalemake-up artist in pictures through the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s—becoming palswith her famous subjects, who included Dietrich, Helen Hayes, Mae West, CaroleLombard, Paulette Goddard, Judy Garland—as she gave them the iconic faces thatwould make them huge stars.
"As much as anything, About Face is a book aboutfinding identities. We are there as Hollywood grows from its infancy, the starsevolve into themselves, and Dottie goes on her journey of rich self-discoveryas a creative artist and a debauchee of life, both of which reach a kind ofculmination in her relationship with the great Judy Garland. Where other booksconcern themselves with the high drama and so-called tragedy of Garland's life,Ponedel offers a portrait of what it was like to be a real Garland pal—noparticular drama, just true intimate times with the spontaneity of everydaylife.
"I was awestruck with the first half of the book whichconcerns itself with Ponedel's early career and offers a detailed portrait ofher personal and profession relationships with the greats, includingbreathtaking, never before seen photographs, many inscribed to Ms. Ponedel withstraightforward, unconcealed gratitude from her stars.
"The balance of the book is primarily focused on herrelationship with Judy Garland. I have read every possible book about JudyGarland, and the relationship with Ponedel is unique and refreshing. Trulyintimate and sometimes even uneventful, except that it concerns one of thetowering legends in the history of the entertainment industry.
"ABOUT FACE is perhaps one of the finestmanuscripts in the oral history/autobiography tradition. I became thefive-year-old child sitting at the edge of Dottie Ponedel's bed, listening toand being mesmerized and fully entertained by this pioneer woman's lifestories.
Told in first person to her captive audience (nieceMeredith Ponedel), I hear Dottie's voice and see her animated delivery on everypage. Of course, she talks about some of my most favorite people, so thattoo most certainly kept me turning the pages. Along the way, Dottie toobecame one of my favorite people. Now, I have been for many years familiarwith Dottie and her ingenuity and workmanship in the area of motion picturemake up during the Golden Years of Hollywood, but to finally learn about herlife, in her own words is a total treat. Hers is the true Hollywood dreamstory, rags to riches, "the" Cinderella story.
From humble beginnings to comingto Hollywood, where she was open to whatever opportunities came her way, tosaying YES and believing she could do anything—and so she did. She istruly a study in positive attitude, ingenuity, and perseverance. Workingon many biographies, documentaries, and delving into the lives of those shetalks about, I knew of her, but her stories! They are real, they make theseiconic people real. You will gain great, great respect for her line up ofeccentric personalities. You will discover the true human side ofthem. Who are they? Well, Marlene Dietrich, Mae West, MauriceChevalier, Gary Cooper, Lucille Ball, Joan Blondell to name afew.
Then there is Judy Garland. The book is part bio of the greatlegend. Dottie was her confidante, and she and Judy traveled together andhung out at Dottie's little Beverly Hills home and shared life. Dottie helpedJudy stay grounded, as best she could. You will laugh and cry with herstories of Judy and the fun they had. Dottie's thoughts and impressionsand memories of all her friends are positive and again, you will learnwonderful new things about these people. Meredith Ponedel is a greatstoryteller, too, as she relays her memories of growing up with her aunt'seccentric friends, who often used the little house as their home away fromhome.
About Face: The Life and Times of Dottie Ponedel, Make-upArtist to the Stars is much more thana glimpse into the beginning of TinselTown. It is a recollection of a time when Hollywood was a much more tight-knitcommunity than it is today. It's a chance to peer through the looking glass andsee the real people behind the grease-paint. Miss Meredith Ponodel surely usedher Aunt Dottie's written memoirs, but she refined and honed those words withthe aid of Mr. Danny Miller. The result is as much artistry and magic as themanner Dottie Ponedel applied make-up to the stars. Meredith painted with words,breathing life into her aunt's recollections.
And yet, even that isn't all About Face is. It's so muchmore. It's a tale of perseverance, of determination, and most importantlyfriendship. Ms. Dottie Ponedel's friendship with the great Judy Garland is toldin gentle language and with the benefit of perspective. When Miss MeredithPonedel writes of her childhood memories of Miss Garland visiting her AuntDottie and the friendship she struck up with the star, there is poignancy to herwords. The image of a young girl listening to Miss Garland's records afterlearning of the star's death is told in haunting simplicity.
Perhaps that is how it should be. Strip off the make-up,turnoff the cameras, and power down the spot lights, and those stars Dottie Ponedelknew and became friends with were just people with the same desires and foiblesas the rest of us.
