Good morning Austin:
Well that was fast.
Not to be a party pooper, but for all the grace of Ted Cruz's sudden exit from the race, he was outdistanced not just by Donald J. Trump, just hours after Cruz who – with some fresh and very personal experience had castigated Trump as perhaps the most loathsome figure in American public life – but also by Bernie Sanders, the 74-year-old white-haired Lazarus of the Democratic Party, who managed to rebound against the odds in Indiana and, unlike Cruz, will likely take his campaign all the way to his party's national convention in July.
This is a disappointment to those who had planned to be at the rally with Ted Cruz today at noon at the Embassy Suites in Lincoln,Nebraska, or the Rally with Ted Cruz at the Spokane Convention Center, not to mention the millions of California Republicans who have now gone from being kingmakers to afterthoughts, or the legion of political reporters who last night saw the glistening specter of a once-in-lifetime contested convention in Cleveland flicker and die, or, saddest of all, those unpledged Republican delegates, who have gone from masters of the universe awaiting their star turn, to dime-a-dozen extras.
*NOTE: The previously announced events below have been cancelled.
Of course, there's still John Kasich, who may be hanging in there simply because he has yet to have earned a belittling nickname from Trump.
At this point, Kasich has about as much chance of reversing the course of this election as a lost Japanese soldier emerging from the jungles of the South Pacific in the 1950s had of changing the outcome of the Second World War. He has to decide whether his ambition is to be vice president/prime minister in a Trump administration, or King of #NeverNeverTrumpLand.
As for Cruz, it is always darkest before the dawn, and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who chaired the Cruz campaign in Texas, had an ingenious suggestion that he texted me last night.
I was honored to work for Ted. He ran a great race. Ted and Heidi gave it their all working 12,15, 18 hours a day for a year. I thought he did the patriotic thing tonight. I know it wasn't easy but it was the right thing for our party. I've said for months I would support our nominee. I will support Trump because we must beat Hillary. I hope Ted and Trump mend their fences sooner than later. I also hope Trump names Cruz as the nominee to take Scalia's place on the Supreme Court. Cruz would be a great Supreme Court Justice.
More on this – and what a clever idea this is = in a bit.
But first some perspectives on Cruz's exit.
From Jim Henson, director of the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas.
Cruz's decision to drop out is very pragmatic, strategic choice. Cruz's expressed commitment to ideological principles might have led one to think that he would pursue the fight for the nomination to the bitter end in order to serve the conservative cause. Rather than destroying the village to save it, he's now positioned as the inheritor of the most ideologically conservative bloc of the Republican Party. This begs the question of what the GOP will look like after a Trump candidacy, but Cruz will undoubtedly be one of the most prominent candidates lingering to pick up the pieces in the lead up to the 2020 election.
Cruz started his 2020 campaign tonight based on his speech. He's not going away nor do I expect him to change his existing (non) relationship with those "Washington insiders" he excoriated during the campaign.
Cruz lost because he was the wrong last man standing against Trump. If there was any candidate a large number of GOP voters were never going to rally around, it was Cruz. And he didn't care since the campaign thought they could bring out new voters, those evangelicals they think don't vote, but could be motivated by him. But outside of Iowa that didn't really materialize. But still, they did a lot with what they had. Last August when I first started watching this on the ground I never imagined his run would go this long. The only thing that has surprised me more is Trump.
One reason he did as well as he did was he has a very smart, very data focused campaign, and they got as much out of the voters as they possibly could, especially given Trump.
His departure's meaning for the party is simple – they can't kid themselves anymore, Trump is their standard-bearer whether they like it or not.
As noted above, Cruz in some ways finds himself in an enviable position.
He is very young.
Just because he won't have completed the full Obama, his political career from out-of-nowhere election to the Senate in 2012 to moments when it appeared he might actually close the deal in 2016 is extraordinary.
His campaign machine was a thing of beauty.
That he got as close as he did after losing the South is, even in retrospect, hard to fathom.
The Cruz crew was so successful at collecting delegates in the post-primary and caucus process that I still wonder if his suspension of his candidacy last night is really a feint intended to lull Trump into complacency, and that in Cleveland, the giant horse that Cruz sends to Trump as a gift of reconciliation will, at the appropriate moment, disgorge 1,237 Cruz stealth delegates.
Also, Cruz wins even if – actually especially if – Trump loses in a landslide.
No one will be better positioned to say I-told-you-so, than Ted Cruz.
But there's still the little matter of what to do about endorsing Trump.
As much as Cruz might be rooting for Trump to prove that Cruz was right that his candidacy would be a disaster that would deliver the election to Hillary Clinton, Cruz can't be seen as contributing to his party's failure in November, or, worse yet, not be on board if Trump sails on to victory.
"I don't know if he likes me or doesn't like me," Trump said at his mellow victory press conference last night where he killed Cruz with kindness.
The beauty – and horror – of Trump is that he may sincerely not know whether Cruz likes him or doesn't because to him this was all sporting combat, a game. It's all over. He won. Very nice. High five.
Well, hint. Cruz doesn't like Trump.
From my story last night.
"If any of you have seen the movie, `Back to the Future II,' the screenwriter says that he based the character of Biff Tannen on Donald Trump — a caricature of a braggadocios, arrogant buffoon who builds giant casinos with giant pictures of him wherever he looks. We are looking potentially at a Biff Tannen presidency," Ted Cruz said.
For Cruz, Trump had crossed every line of decency in his campaign against him.
For Cruz, insulting his wife, and insinuating that his dad was in on the Kennedy assassination, is beyond the pale.
But, on Morning Joe this morning, Trump said it would be nice to have Cruz's backing, and that he has people calling him offering his support who had said worse things about him than Cruz did. Hmm.
But, of course, Trump doesn't really think that Rafael Cruz was in on assassination because as Trump confidante Roger Stone has written, it was LBJ not Lee Harvey Oswald who killed JFK.
Former Gov. Rick Perry, who back when Cruz was still playing political footsie with Trump, called Trump a "cancer on conservatism," has already made his peace with backing Trump if he is the nominee.
Last night, Gov. Greg Abbott climbed aboard.
Which is why Patrick's suggestion that President Trump name Ted Cruz to replace Antonin Scalia is so genius.
Trump has said that he may release a list of potential Supreme Court picks from which he would choose if he is elected president. Among Cruz's central critiques of Trump – and critical concerns of Cruz supporters – is that Trump cannot be trusted to name constitutional conservatives, like himself, to the court.
A presidency lasts four or eight years, while a Supreme Court appointment can last a lifetime – which in Cruz's case could have him on the bench into the late decades of the 21st Century.
If Trump were to huddle with Cruz and emerge with Cruz on his short list for the court and Cruz's endorsement in his pocket, Cruz and his faithful would have a reason to back Trump with a clear objective and some genuine enthusiasm. If Trump loses, no harm, and if Trump wins he can send Cruz's name to the Senate, which would have to choose whether to send someone they revile to a seat of enormous power on the Supreme Court, or keep him in their midst.
On Monday, in Indiana, the Daily Mail asked Trump if he would consider putting Trump on his Supreme Court short list to heal the party.
I don't know Id have to think about it. That's a big question. There's a whole question of uniting and there's a whole question of temperament. I'd have to think about it. He's certainly a smart guy. But there's also a temperament issue.
He's got a tough temperament for what we're talking about. You have to be a very, very smart, rational person, in my opinion to be a justice of any kind at a high level or low level. You need the proper temperament and that would be a question I would have.
Well, that was Monday. On Tuesday, Cruz said Trump was he worst person in the world, Trump crushed Cruz in the primary, and Trump praised Cruz as a helluva competitor with an amazing future.
And if Ted Cruz parlays his brazen presidential campaign into a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court that will be, in the words of Bernie Sanders doppelgänger Larry David, pretty, pretty good.

Value Lookup
I apologize if this is confusing but I'm not sure how else to ask.
I would like to have dynamic text that gets its value from one table (favorites) but looks up it's label from another table (colors). For example, there's a page favorites_detail.php with dynamic text showing favorite color. I want to store the color as an integer in the favorites table looking up the label from the colors table. AND in favorites_detail.php I want the label to display, not the integer. I can see how to do that with insert and update pages but not with dynamic text as on a detail page. Thanks.

Commercial impact concerns over new BBC Scotland TV channel
Concerns about how the proposed new BBC Scotland TV channel will impact on commercial competitors has prompted Ofcom to make a further assessment of the channel.
The regulator has concluded that the BBC's plans for the channel could have a negative effect on other services and has commissioned a further competition assessment. This assessment is due to consider whether the public value offered by a new BBC channel north of the border would justify any potential adverse effects on fair and effective competition. It will include research with viewers in Scotland, as well as economic analysis.
As reported in November, the BBC's plans for a new channel in Scotland have changed since the original plans were announced, with the evening-only service containing an hour-long newscast at 9pm developing into a service that would start at 12:00 midday and include programmes displaced by the closure of BBC Two Scotland. For much of the afternoon, the channel would simulcast BBC Two, which in turn becomes a single version for England and Scotland. Evening programmes could include new commissions specific for the channel, as well as cross-commissioned programmes with other BBC networks plus repeats of programmes already shown elsewhere on the BBC.
Ofcom says it will now consider how the proposed service might crowd out free-to-air commercial broadcasters (e.g. STV Group, who launched STV2 last year), whether there is the potential for the new service to crowd out Scottish online news providers and Scottish newspapers and the "potential impact of the BBC's investment in Scottish-produced content (positive and/or negative) on access to Scottish content, and on the Scottish production sector more generally."
In April, Ofcom is due to make its provisional view known, with a final outcome to be announced by July 2018. The BBC wants to launch its new service later this year.
In 2015, the BBC's last set of proposals for a new service - the planned BBC One+1 channel - were ultimately sunk on the grounds of competition concerns.

Why Bankers are worried about blockchain
Blockchain or Distributed Ledger technology is still evolving so there is a lot to be done before it starts really disrupting the financial services and banking world. The banking world is paranoid about security and data privacy. I mean imagine a scenario where my transactions are stored on any public node in the blockchain – I know it can't be altered but how do I prevent everyone from seeing my transactions. In the financial world frauds can happen even when someone can just see data they are not supposed to or authorized to see. It makes things complicated. It is one thing to move a single crypto currency like Bitcoin in this fashion but imagine the trillions of dollars of payments, advices, account statements moving through the financial world. So like I said blockchain needs to evolve to start really meeting the needs of the financial world.
However, there is no mistaking the potential cost and labour savings it could create for the global financial market. And more importantly the potential disruption could change the way the market works – as such many financial institutions are investing millions – of dollars in finding out how to exactly implement this technology. I believe blockchain is an innovation or disruption that threatens the very root of the financial world. The financial world is based upon the concept of a middle-man someone who will either guard your money, invest your money or manage your money, move your money etc.. The big claim most experts are making is that if implemented correctly blockchain or distributed ledger coupled with smart contracts can potentially replace the middle man. Now I have worked closely with bankers all my life, I have seen them during the dot.com crash of 2001 – they were relaxed and looking to make more money. They ended up being bigger and better than before. I worked closely with senior bankers during the mortgage crisis of 2008 – and the same- there was not panic. And see the banks emerged bigger and better than what they were in 2008. However with the success of crypto currency and the potential of blockchain, I do sense some panic when talking to senior bankers. They are genuinely worried. And when bankers are worried about blockchain – it's time to start investing in blockchain.
What is blockchain?
Unless you are living under a rock or in a cave – by now you have heard of Bitcoin which is a type of a digital cryptocurrency. The allure of Bitcoin is that it operates without the need for any central bank or regulatory authority. The entire administration of the ledger i.e. books of accounts of transaction history is done publicly by the technology which is now known as blockchain (or which I like to call distributed ledger). Each transaction is added to a block – now each transaction itself happens when a user transfer part of their value store to someone else for example user X pays user Y 0.001 BitCoin – to understand how this happens we need to understand why it is called a crypto currency in the first place. All transactions have to be digital and done when the user is online i.e. through some kind of wallet software either on your computer or your mobile. Once you configure your wallet you get your private key which is used to sign all your transactions. This ensures that you can write a transaction to the block. Now a block that is a set of such transactions needs to be made irrefutable so that's where the miners will come in. I won't go into the details of how mining works but there are people out there who will verify that the block is genuine and confirm it. Once confirmed a transaction cannot be reversed. And this block is replicated on all public nodes in the bitcoin network.
This is an example of a public blockchain where anyone can send value anywhere in the world where the blockchain file can be accessed. However there are private block chains which can be restricted to a particular network and mining can be regulated. Most financial companies are interested in implementing a private block chain. Infact there is a sort of consortium of financial companies developing a private block chain standard called CORDA.
A recent World Economic Forum report predicts that by 2025 10% of GDP will be stored on blockchains or blockchain-related technology.
All that's okay – but how are we really going to change the financial industry
Let's get down to brass tacks, what areas of the financial world will be early adopters of blockchain and how will the impact spread.
Core Banking
Most banks run on something called as a core banking software , now core banking today is built on a centralized database concept. Core banking is like the heart of a bank – any change to it is really tough to manage and if the system is experiencing problems it impacts almost everyone. Blockchain is like the opposite of what todays core banking systems are. I am sure some one is out there in the open source world developing a version of core banking that uses a distributed ledger. Once a proof of concept is executed we will understand a bit more on how soon everyone needs to change their core banking. But if the answer is yes then this change will be bigger than the Y2K change.
Consumer Lending
One of the most important parts of lending is Know your Customer or KYC as it is called in the IT circles. It is estimated that banks and lending companies spend anywhere between 300 to 600 Million dollars per year on their KYC software. Now KYC is really necessary especially in today's world to prevent or reduce money laundering and terrorism activities. Blockchain inherently has a mechanism of independent verification of transactions – with some tweaking this could easily be moulded into a framework that will allow the independent verification of clients by banks to be done in shared manner like mining. Spoiler this will not result in cost savings but IT teams can rejoice for this will surely spice up KYC budgets for the coming years.
Smart Contracts
Now this is where things start to get scary for banks. Smart Contracts combined with Internet of Things – can really change the game in consumer lending. Today if you want to buy a TV a finance company lends you the money – because the manufacturer does not want the headache of managing the financials. Now imagine a scenario where there is smart contract which can stop the TV if a payment is not made or delayed. In this case no middle man is really necessary. Because this is so scary – I believe banks and finance companies will first start experimenting with and implementing smart contracts. They can extend to Letter of Credits, Letter of Undertakings (most Indians will remember the big Fraud in the news because of fraudulent Letters of Undertaking) and also invoice factoring. My view is that this is the most exciting part of the blockchain technology. However, we are in the infancy stage a lot of work needs to be done. But the potential is there, and lenders are right to be worried.
Collections and Payments.
The Payments world is very complex. It gets even more complex when talk of moving money across countries. I have worked extensively in SWIFT payments for some really large banks – and I actually don't see how blockchain will impact international funds transfer. But I do hear a lot talk that Blockchain will potentially disrupt the payments world. Let's wait and see.

Just What Is A SWOT Analysis Anyway?
I realized recently that I have never written a post entirely devoted to what is a SWOT Analysis. What?! The weird thing is that I have referred to SWOT analyses in various posts like this one or this one. This tool can help you design your strategic plan, objectively see how you and your small business are performing and even provide a few other advantages.
You wouldn't mind but I encourage people to do a SWOT analysis every time I present my webinar, Living Business Plan-The Best Kept Secret For Small Business Success. (Typically, I recommend to clients to make it a part of their quarterly review.)
It sounds so business-y and arcane but it's really a straightforward tool. The four parts of the SWOT analysis are:
Strengths- This is an internal set of qualities that makes your small business unique, strong and shows your unique selling proposition (USP)
Weaknesses-Another internal set of qualities that contributes to lost sales, skill gaps and slows or stops growth
Opportunities-These are external factors that present ways to grow, new trends to capture or events. Include any pertinent information from your personal life that supports your business.
Threats-These are external factors such as obstacles in the marketplace, cash flow issues, new trends or competitors' focus. For this section also include any pertinent information from your personal life that harms your business.
Suggested questions for each area
When you go through the analysis, try to be as specific and rigorous as possible. The more fine-tuned a nd accurate your data is, the more likely you can simply add the information to your living business plan and make any necessary modifications.
- What is working well?
- What is special about your business?
- What advantages does your business have?
- What are the perceived strengths of your business?
- What problems is your business facing?
- Where are you struggling most?
- What disadvantages does your business have?
- What are the perceived weaknesses of your business?
- What are your clients/customers saying about you?
- What are the current trends in your industry?
- How could you increase revenues?
- What changes in technology could be useful?
- What could help your business grow (political, economic, social, personal)?
- Who are your competitors and what are they doing?
- What are the current risks/obstacles your business is facing?
- What is changing in your market/industry?
- What changes in technology could present obstacles?
- What could hurt your business (political, economic, social, personal)?
If you are interested, you can get a PDF version of the template here (SWOT Analysis Template).
More than simply an evaluation of your small business
Yes, it does show what is happening currently in your business. It is a truth-teller. However, it is far easier to solve problems if you know which problem is facing you. Or… like I mentioned in my previous post, you can celebrate your successes. A SWOT analysis can be a tool for brainstorming. It gets those ideas you have been mulling around in your head and puts them on paper so you can make a plan and act. It can be a part of your accountability habit so you manage yourself emotionally and maintain a high level of performance. Take advantage of this analysis and get more than just an up-to-date assessment of your small business.

A play is said to be well or ill acted
in proportion to the scenical illusion produced.
Whether such illusion can in any case be perfect,
is not the question. The nearest approach to it,
we are told, is, when the actor appears wholly unconscious
of the presence of spectators. In tragedy in
all which is to affect the feelings this
undivided attention to his stage business, seems indispensable.
Yet it is, in fact, dispensed with every day by our
cleverest tragedians; and while these references to
an audience, in the shape of rant or sentiment, are
not too frequent or palpable, a sufficient quantity
of illusion for the purposes of dramatic interest
may be said to be produced in spite of them.
But, tragedy apart, it may be inquired whether, in
certain characters in comedy, especially those which
are a little extravagant, or which involve some notion
repugnant to the moral sense, it is not a proof of
the highest skill in the comedian when, without absolutely
appealing to an audience, he keeps up a tacit understanding
with them; and makes them, unconsciously to themselves,
a party in the scene. The utmost nicety is required
in the mode of doing this; but we speak only of the
great artists in the profession.
The most mortifying infirmity in human
nature, to feel in ourselves, or to contemplate in
another, is, perhaps, cowardice. To see a coward
done to the life upon a stage would produce
anything but mirth. Yet we most of us remember
Jack Bannister's cowards. Could any thing
be more agreeable, more pleasant? We loved the
rogues. How was this effected but by the exquisite
art of the actor in a perpetual sub-insinuation to
us, the spectators, even in the extremity of the shaking
fit, that he was not half such a coward as we took
him for? We saw all the common symptoms of the
malady upon him; the quivering lip, the cowering knees,
the teeth chattering; and could have sworn "that
man was frightened." But we forgot all the
while or kept it almost a secret to ourselves that
he never once lost his self-possession; that he let
out by a thousand droll looks and gestures meant
at us, and not at all supposed to be visible
to his fellows in the scene, that his confidence in
his own resources had never once deserted him.
Was this a genuine picture of a coward? or not rather
a likeness, which the clever artist contrived to palm
upon us instead of an original; while we secretly
connived at the delusion for the purpose of greater
pleasure, than a more genuine counterfeiting of the
imbecility, helplessness, and utter self-desertion,
which we know to be concomitants of cowardice in real
life, could have given us?
Why are misers so hateful in the world,
and so endurable on the stage, but because the skilful
actor, by a sort of sub-reference, rather than direct
appeal to us, disarms the character of a great deal
of its odiousness, by seeming to engage our
compassion for the insecure tenure by which he holds
his money bags and parchments? By this subtle
vent half of the hatefulness of the character the
self-closeness with which in real life it coils itself
up from the sympathies of men evaporates.
The miser becomes sympathetic; i.e. is no genuine
miser. Here again a diverting likeness is substituted
for a very disagreeable reality.
Spleen, irritability the
pitiable infirmities of old men, which produce only
pain to behold in the realities, counterfeited upon
a stage, divert not altogether for the comic appendages
to them, but in part from an inner conviction that
they are being acted before us; that a likeness
only is going on, and not the thing itself. They
please by being done under the life, or beside it;
not to the life. When Gatty acts an old
man, is he angry indeed? or only a pleasant counterfeit,
just enough of a likeness to recognise, without pressing
upon us the uneasy sense of reality?
Comedians, paradoxical as it may seem,
may be too natural. It was the case with a late
actor. Nothing could be more earnest or true than
the manner of Mr. Emery; this told excellently in
his Tyke, and characters of a tragic cast. But
when he carried the same rigid exclusiveness of attention
to the stage business, and wilful blindness and oblivion
of everything before the curtain into his comedy,
it produced a harsh and dissonant effect. He
was out of keeping with the rest of the Personae
Dramatis. There was as little link between
him and them as betwixt himself and the audience.
He was a third estate, dry, repulsive, and unsocial
to all. Individually considered, his execution
was masterly. But comedy is not this unbending
thing; for this reason, that the same degree of credibility
is not required of it as to serious scenes. The
degrees of credibility demanded to the two things may
be illustrated by the different sort of truth which
we expect when a man tells us a mournful or a merry
story. If we suspect the former of falsehood in
any one tittle, we reject it altogether. Our tears
refuse to flow at a suspected imposition. But
the teller of a mirthful tale has latitude allowed
him. We are content with less than absolute truth.
'Tis the same with dramatic illusion. We
confess we love in comedy to see an audience naturalised
behind the scenes, taken in into the interest of the
drama, welcomed as by-standers however. There
is something ungracious in a comic actor holding himself
aloof from all participation or concern with those
who are come to be diverted by him. Macbeth must
see the dagger, and no ear but his own be told of
it; but an old fool in farce may think he sees something,
and by conscious words and looks express it, as plainly
as he can speak, to pit, box, and gallery. When
an impertinent in tragedy, an Osric, for instance,
breaks in upon the serious passions of the scene, we
approve of the contempt with which he is treated.
But when the pleasant impertinent of comedy, in a
piece purely meant to give delight, and raise mirth
out of whimsical perplexities, worries the studious
man with taking up his leisure, or making his house
his home, the same sort of contempt expressed (however
natural) would destroy the balance of delight
in the spectators. To make the intrusion comic,
the actor who plays the annoyed man must a little desert
nature; he must, in short, be thinking of the audience,
and express only so much dissatisfaction and peevishness
as is consistent with the pleasure of comedy.
In other words, his perplexity must seem half put on.
If he repel the intruder with the sober set face of
a man in earnest, and more especially if he deliver
his expostulations in a tone which in the world must
necessarily provoke a duel; his real-life manner will
destroy the whimsical and purely dramatic existence
of the other character (which to render it comic demands
an antagonist comicality on the part of the character
opposed to it), and convert what was meant for mirth,
rather than belief, into a downright piece of impertinence
indeed, which would raise no diversion in us, but rather
stir pain, to see inflicted in earnest upon any unworthy
person. A very judicious actor (in most of his
parts) seems to have fallen into an error of this
sort in his playing with Mr. Wrench in the farce of
Free and Easy.
Many instances would be tedious; these
may suffice to show that comic acting at least does
not always demand from the performer that strict abstraction
from all reference to an audience, which is exacted
of it; but that in some cases a sort of compromise
may take place, and all the purposes of dramatic delight
be attained by a judicious understanding, not too
openly announced, between the ladies and gentlemen on
both sides of the curtain.

Mid 2011 Orrcon Steel set to work building two BBQ trailers for use by customers, local community groups and charities. Initially a tandem and single axle trailer were built and shared between seven Queensland branches.
The trailers sport the blue and yellow of Orrcon Steel and have everything on board to organise the perfect BBQ! Each trailer is fully equipped with a stainless steel four-burner BBQ, a water container, a heavy duty marquee and 2 x 100 litre eskies to hold drinks and meat. Keep up with demand!
Due to their popularity, three more single axle trailers were recently built for other regions – Melbourne, Adelaide and North Queensland. The first two trailers remain in South East Queensland. Do you know a good Cause for a Barbie?

Zen and the art of being Italian
We round out our week of all things Italian here with a recommendation: Zen. No, not the school of Mahayana Buddhism that originated in China during the 6th century and which became famous in the 1970s when it was briefly associated with motorcycle maintenance. Rather, our Zen is Aurelio Zen, a fictional Italian detective created by the late, lamented crime writer Michael Dibdin.
Although your blogger has been a long-time admirer of Italy and has visited the country many times, it was only through reading of Dibdin's murder mysteries that the true nature of contemporary Italian society became clear. The books are filled with vice, la dolce vita, politics, passion, omerta, commerce, history, humanity, food, wine and love of place. Zen teaches the reader that Italy is not a modern nation-state, but a set of city-states living in constant familial rivalry with each other. But despite the fragmentation, the sum of the parts is still a force to be reckoned with. Reuters headline this morning: "Global shares, euro tumble on economic concerns, Italy vote."
BBC Scotland and Left Bank Pictures produced three dramas based on the Dibdin books. Shot in Rome, they starred English actor Rufus Sewell as Aurelio Zen, and Italian actress Caterina Murino is Tania Moretti, his colleague. Eccellente!Tweet

Panoramic photos
June 27th, 2016 by Erick Beck
We have been playing a bit with the streetview phone app for creating our own photospheres. The cool thing about these is that we can add them directly into Google Map entries. Check out this view, for example, of the Architecture Quad behind our building. Definitely not ready for prime time yet, but it is a start. We are also seeing a demand, with several hundred views over the weekend without much advertisement.
Our long term goal will be to use these test photos to build up our expertise so that we can tackle a new version of the campus virtual tour site. Combining these panoramas with the Campus Bird campus map framework we intend to give the tours a much needed facelift.

|A Little About Myself
Inferior quality fabric, uncomfortable, minimal padding, does not measure up to the chair purchased 10 yrs. ago ...
|Service & Delivery
You don't give size dimensions on the boxes the chairs are packed in. Box wouldn't fit through 42" wide door, so paid for inside delivery for NOTHING. Asked for refund for chair, and inside delivery fee, and so far, no response. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE - no response means I put charge in debate on my credit card so you wont get paid......PLEASE COME GET THE CHAIR AND PROCESS A REFUND ON MY CREDIT CARD.....
If I had known this chair would be so uncomfortable, and of such inferior quality to the past production, I would NEVER have ordered it. I would have spent the money having the old one recovered.

|A Little About Myself
Works ok, but very light materiel for the lift mechanism (metal).
My lane recliner is twice the chair of the "Golden" with coil springs, wide large arms and very comfortable, but it's not a lift, like this chair. I'm glad that Golden has a lifetime warranty.

I'm very sceptical about epigenetics being transferable to future generations. I will remain such till these studies can be duplicated beyond any doubt.
However I can see a process where some demethylation from stressed parent's DNA could be copied to offspring genome, causing some form of general nervousness in both.
I doubt that something more precise (precise knowledge) can be transferred this way.
It is inconceivable for me that a learned behaviour of parents could be written into DNA. It would mean that once brain is rewired (learn) and the change is positive (survive), the brain or other signaling medium would contact the right segment of DNA and change methylation only in this segment (out of millions of choices) in all cells, especially in new egg cells to be transferred to new generation.
It is also possible that frequent electric shocks could cause methylation problem. This could affect parent's sex cells and next generation being generally more nervous. The rest might be in the eye of scientists who want to validate their research a bit too hard.

It's story time folks….
While a lot of dancers have specific songs that bring up fond memories of an event, a dance partner, or even a specific dance move, I have the pleasure of having songs that I play and bring up fond memories of my friends and dancers all around the world. Whether it be a funny reference, a song request, or a memorable dance in front of the DJ booth, I have had several opportunities to spy greatness or catch a laugh.
***This list is not meant to imply song favorites, this is not meant to imply that you (as a DJ) should play these songs for these people every time they come to town. This is a personal note/memory/association I have with these songs and friends. I don't ALWAYS play these songs when I see these people. Let's just make that clear.
Jason is a huge Lionel Hampton fan (even his dog is named Hamp), and avid balboa dancer. While there are plenty of great tracks by Hampton that one can bal or lindy hop to, for some strange reason, I find myself not playing many of them /ducks. Not because the songs are bad or anything, but just random happenstance – with this one exception. Anytime I see Jason at a bal event, I can't wait for the opportunity to play Ring Dem Bells, and watch him tear it up! It's like no matter what Jason is doing, if I want to watch him dance, I just play Ring Dem Bells, and he is finding his way to the floor.
This one, I have no clue how it got started. I'm not sure if it was Laura singing the tune somewhere, or maybe she DJ'd a version that I liked, or vice versa, either way, it has become my personal endeavor of mine, whenever Laura is in the building, play a some version of the tune (Jack Teagarden is my current favorite) and see if she notices. The best part is the moment when Laura spys the song, turns and looks at me smiling and starts laughing that Laura Windley laugh. awesomesauce!
While most associations are, let's say, happy; this one, might, just might, be more on the snarky/painful side. Flash back several years…Joel was a member of the Rhythm Rollers (balboa performance group from LA). Of course, due to the nature of dance troupes, Joel was practicing endlessly, perfecting the choreography; all the while listening to the same song over and over and over again. In this case it was Rigamarole. Simultaneously, Joel entered the strictly competition at ABW, made it to the finals, where he had to spotlight. Much to his unfortunate surprise, the random music generator selected Rigamarole as his spotlight song. For anyone who has been in a performance troope or done a routine with a pre-planned song, you know what HELL it would be to get that song in a competition. It's not like Joel could have just done the routine for his spotlight (although, in hindsight that would have been awesome!)
It's no secret that balboa great Willie Desatoff loved White Heat as his favorite fast number and Moonglow as his favorite slow number. So when Willie passed in 2005, I had the distinct honor of playing White Heat at his funeral. A moment I will cherish forever.
Ever since I met Randy at a bar in El Paso, Texas back in the late '70s, Randy has been obsessed with Ride Red Ride. I remember him saying "Hey Kyle, can you play Ride Red Ride?" and, I would be all, like, "sure Randy, I can play it." However, the funny part is, I don't think I have ever played the "correct" version of Ride Red Ride for Randy….ever! I came close, I think, back at ABW for the All Ball Bal contest, but I don't recall. Recently Shani Brown has tried to help me find Randy's version, but, alas, to no avail. Hopefully, one day, I will find this elusive version, because almost every time I see him, he asks "Are you going to play Ride Red Ride, the correct version?" Help me Randy-Wan-Kenobi, you're my only hope.
Somewhat of an anthem of balboa, at least in the early renaissance, Cherokee is an amazing song to get your balboa on. Not too fast, not too slow….Just…Right! A world travelling dancer, David is exposed to innumerable, amazing and sometimes, not so amazing songs. But for some reason, when I see David chillin' on the side of the floor, and I want him get his balboa on, I throw on Cherokee. Done and done. Such a great tempo to see an expert do his thing. Despite the number of times he has to have heard that song, I feel like there is always something new in his dance when I see him on the floor.
I can't recall the actual story, but I feel it went something like this. I am playing an event like, ABW, I put on Chimes, Bobby screams with joy and happyness. I gasp. Some next event, I put on Chimes, Bobby shrieks like a school girl, I smile. And repeat said story a whole bunch more times at a whole bunch more events. So, while that may be a not-so-accurate retelling of actual events, to me it captures the feeling I felt from Bobby, and get from him every time I put on the song. Even now, potentially 7 years since I first met Bobby, he jumps up with glee and takes anyone who will dance with him, onto the floor and tears that song a new one. Love those moments!
Once again, the years escape me, but it was definitely at ABW. The scene plays out like this: Nelle and Adam Speen make it to the finals, they get Business In F, jam the shit out of the song. Some next event, they make it to the finals, and once again get Business In F, and jam the shit out of the song…again! Getting the same song twice for your spotlight would make a song memorable (Todd and Mia, Swingtime In the Rockies two years in a row @ABW) but it the enthusiasm to which Nelle brings when that song comes on that makes it memorable. Singing along, belly bumping, and general raucous ensure that I will always think of her when that song comes on. And if I am correct, I heard that Nelle and Adam danced to that song at Adam and Abba's wedding 😀 Oh, and sorry about the double play, that damn random song generator can be a cruel mistress.
The first time I played this song was at an ABW, Kate immediately ran over and started talking to me about how this was a viola thingy, from this famous dead dude guy, who played it, it was old and shizz, and there are like 100 of them that she had to do upside down, underwater in order to become a ninja assassin. (lolwutbbqroflcoptr) Sure, those details might not be 100% accurate, but the idea is the same. Kate is an accomplished viola player (violist? violista? violninja?) and going into great detail about something that crosses swing passions with external passions leaves an indelible mark on me (so much so, that I can't remember anything about it….lol…I was working? /snort). So once I understood what she was talking about (I'm a bit slow), the correlation between classical and swing is ridiculously cool. The exciting part is when I find new versions of that song and hope that she hasn't heard them!
So, we all know Minor Swing by Django. Well, there was this guy who took that song, and a few others (The Doors, REM), and digitally transformed them into the major key. While most people throw tomatoes at me, or look sternly in my general direction (Mr. Stout and his Campus Everyone), Tise is always there for me, encouraging me to play the song, despite those grumblings. And upon performing such behavior she proceeds to laugh hysterically at the aftermath of playing said song. Personally, I think the song is cool, and it doesn't bother me one bit. Everyone else however, cringes and says it sounds like nails on a chalk board. I just don't see it. Nevertheless, if I am thinking of playing it, all I need is Tise in the room and I know that at least 2 people who will enjoy it (or enjoy the fact I am playing it). Thanks Tise for the lols.

HICKORY, N.C. – Mars Hill's baseball team won the first game of a three-set series against SAC rival Lenoir-Rhyne Saturday evening at Bears Field. The Lions improved to 24-19 overall and 10-9 in the league. The Bears fell to 21-20 on the season, 6-13 in the SAC.
Daniel Vitello went 3-5 with a RBI and a run scored to lead the Lions at the plate. Shomarii Thomas was 2-3 with a homerun while Gray McCurry went 1-4 with a homerun. Tom Mastrodonato picked up the win (3-1) pitching the final 4.0 innings in relief. He allowed only two runs while striking out six batters.
Alex Reynolds led the Bears offensively going 2-4 with a homerun, a double and two RBI. Thomas St. Clair took the loss (9-3) throwing 6.1 innings allowing four earned runs while striking out 11 batters.
After the Bears scored a single run in the second inning, Mars Hill added a pair of runs in the top of the third highlighted by a two-RBI double from Matt Honeycutt. After Thomas hit a solo homerun to center field in the top of the fourth frame, L-R added another run in the bottom half of the inning to make the score 3-2. The Bears tied the game at 3-all in the bottom of the fifth on a sacrifice fly.
In the top of the seventh inning, Hunter Merrill hit a triple to drive in Lance Edwards and then Vitello singled to plate Merrill to extend the MHU lead to 5-3. Gray McCurry hit a solo homerun to center field in the top of the eighth frame to account for what would later prove to be the game winning score. L-R pushed two runs across in the bottom of the eighth inning but the Lions' defense held strong to secure the 6-5 victory.
The teams will meet for a double-header on Saturday to complete the three-game SAC series. The first pitch is set for 1 p.m.

Easter break
I started off by driving down to Holystone to visit my lovely UKS friend Heather and stayed there until Sunday. We had a 12 hour crop on the Saturday and it was lovely to meet up with all the girls again - now that the caravan season is in full swing I will hopefully be down more often.
I only managed four layouts as I think I must having been chatting too much lol.
Some of them did take me a bit of time as this one had a lot of handmade flowers on. It is a photo I scanned which my Mum had taken on her 21st Birthday and is a photo I have always liked. I did want to take my time with this layout and get it just right. I used the Emmas Shoppe Crate papers from the last Gottacraft kit.

This continues on from my last entry.
I did some more research on round number levels. Do "small" round number levels like 1.51000 or 0.88000 work?
I only tested USD pairs, as my previous research on "big" round number levels showed that they're better respected with USD pairs than non-USD pairs.
I tested data from September 2012 to June 2015, on the EURUSD, AUDUSD, GBPUSD, NZDUSD, USDCAD, USDJPY and USDCHF. I ended up with 545 sample trades.
Just like my previous research, I was looking for a candlestick wick to form off a "small" round number level, and enter on the break of the high or low of that candle. I only traded with the short-term trend. (example setup).
Results from 545 trades...
Profit factor for 2:1 reward:risk = 1.22
Profit factor for 1:1 reward:risk = 1.27
There seems to be an edge here. The profit factor is noticeably smaller than trading off the "big" round number levels, but you can still trade it, and your frequency of trades is much higher.

Bittersweet sounds pretty good, though I still need to read Twenty Boy Summer, since I stopped in the middle of it back in September or so. Happy reading!ReplyDelete
Bittersweet looks AMAZING! I want it so badly. I can't wait to hear what you think of it. I love the cover for Echoes--so pretty. :) Enjoy your books, Shanon!ReplyDelete
I have to agree with everyone that Bittersweet sounds great. Will have to pick it up some time!
Happy reading :)
I've heard great things about Bittersweet. Enjoy all your new books!ReplyDelete
I super want to read Bittersweet since books with food are the bomb :]ReplyDelete

Communities in RIPE-81++
Dale S. Johnson
Wed Sep 14 19:23:28 CEST 1994
Marten, Tony, Thanks for the pointers to "Authorization and Notification of Changes..." and "RIPE Database Transition Plan". The transition plan is nicely detailed, and I really like the authorization options you've built in. I'll follow up with more minor comments about the texts, but I've got one big confusion about what is happening with the Communities (especially the "guarded attribute" processing for Communities). Here's my best reading so far: - Community objects continue to exist, and have the benefit of the new Maintainer support (including authorization checking) - Community files continue to exist in nearly their current format. The entries in the Community file need to be changed to refer to the prefix/length notation of Routes rather than the dotted quad IPs of Inetnums, and need to be converted to refer to what is actually registered as Routes (e.g. to reflect the level of aggregation registered by the Route objects). - The process will still exist where all the Community designations in the Inetnum or Route objects are deleted each night, and are replaced by new Community designations generated from the contents of the Community guardian files. Users can still submit new Inetnum/Route objects specifying Communities that they do not actually belong to; these are corrected only during nightly processing (though the new text specifies that a message will be sent immediately to the Community maintainer). Have I got this right? If so, I have the following comments about the text in the papers: > [Transition] 3.1 Guarded Attributes: > > As explained in [4], the current procedure for guarded attributes > is that guardians maintain files on the NCC database machine, from > which guarded attributes are added to objects to ["in"?] the database. > Although this has worked reasonably well for over a year, it can > be solved with a more general authentication and notification scheme. > This scheme is explained in [2]. ... Would it be more accurate to replace "it can be solved" with "the authentication portion of guarded attribute handling can be solved..."? As is, the text sounds like you're throwing out the whole idea of guardian files. > The introduction of the "route" objects in the RIPE database (see > below) removes the necessity of guarded attributes in their current > form. The primary reason for having guarded attributes (authenticity > guarantees becaue of their operational impact) can be solved by the > general authentication scheme. It seems to me this is true for the "Origin"/"Aut-Sys" guarded attributes, since they can now be contained in a Route object that is entirely owned (at least usually) by the same group that owns the AS. But it is not true at all for Communities. Communities still need to be owned by separate maintainers, and the Community designations spread over all of the Route objects need to be controlled by people other than the owners of the Route objects. This is not affected by the new general authentication scheme. > [Transition] 5.1.3 After B2 > > Change > Guardian file mechanism is no longer needed and disabled Huh? "...is disabled for Inetnum Aut-Sys attribute" ? > [Authorization] Special Rules in the Routing Registry > > ... However in order to support the necesary routing coordination, special > rules apply to the Route object: Whenever a Route object is created or > deleted or the Comm-list attribute changes, the guardians of all > communities and ASes referenced by the old and new objects will be > notified in addition to the normal notifications. This rule ensures > that community maintainers have retroactive control over community > membership and that ASes get notified if someone else adds a route > originated by them. This "retroactive control" consists of: 1) RIPE software will automatically delete unauthorized COMM designations overnight. 2) They could call the person and who added themselves to the COMMunity and ask them to remove the designation. 3) They could decide that the addition is ok, and add the new route to their Guardian file, thereby approving the change. Is this correct? ---------------------- As we build a "PRConfig" capable of producing GateD files for AS690 from the Routing Registry, we need the ability to store multiple AS:Metric designators for 40K+ nets. (Essentially the information that was contained in the old nsf-in attribute, though the new solution needs to scalable to multiple networks). The option of embedding 100K+ network numbers (40K * 2.3) directly in AS-in and AS-out lines doesn't sound appealing or readable. We've played with the option of using 300+ Community files with names like "COMM_AS690_1:200", though that also seems awkward. My message last week suggested a tiny change to the Community Guardian file description ("consider everything after the first blank to be a comment") that we could use with a DB_SELECTOR designation to store this informaion in a *single* Community file that would be owned by the AS generating the configs. The features we need are: 1) Maximally conformant with RIPE-81++ (and related documents) 2) Minimally unreadable (e.g. no 40K+ -token AS-in lines) 3) All information is part of the Global Routing Registry. (If it isn't, then we haven't really registered our policy globally, and it would not be possible for anyone to build tools (like prtraceroute) that could really tell if packets were taking the right paths or not). [4) Preferably, a security system that does not allow any user to register himself as part of your routing base for up to 24 hours, at his will.] As I understand it, the guardian files themselves are not part of the "Public Database": if you ftp ripe.db you do not get them, and they are not available via whois. Instead, you get that same information registered as "COMM" tokens spread over all of the Inetnum or Route objects. This is a nice solution for the "Public Database" problem, except for the overnight delay in having that information security- checked and updated. There are some reasonably easy ways to fix the technical limitations here (at least for the interactive servers), such as indexing the community guardian files and generating the COMM lists for each route whenever the Route is queried. (Laurent has code much like this working now in alc, and Rick has the same functionality built into a modified RIPE whoisd). (ftp access of the whole database would still require periodic generation, however). There could also be some very clean implementations of output for this, as well. If communities are used as is, each Route object will be tagged with multiple Community tags: comm-list: COMM_AS690_1:1800 COMM_AS690_2:1879 With an expanded Community guardian file (for use with DBSelector), there could be a designated format for this in the Route object, e.g.: comm-list: COMM_AS690( 1:800 2:1879 ... ) comm-list: COMM_AS999( xxxx ) ... (This becomes design of the "experimental" DB_SELECTOR...) ---------------------- I've strayed a bit here from just the text of the draft documents. We are in the process of building such a family of configuration generation tools now (can we coordinate with you on this?), and we very soon will have to decide on a representation for storing and using these massive net lists within a RIPE-81++ registry. This depends partly on understanding the coming code (Rick expects to be porting Marten's release as soon as it is out), and partly on finding ways that can be made to work within the current architecture. Any suggestions for us? :-) --Dale -------- Logged at Wed Sep 14 23:07:38 MET DST 1994 ---------

"Fireworks can be harmful to a child's ears. It is rare, but I have seen problems such as hearing loss and a tympanic membrane perforation," said Laura Swibel Rosenthal, MD, pediatric otolaryngologist at Loyola University Health System and assistant professor in the departments of Otolarynology and Pediatrics at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine.
Fireworks shows can produce 130-190 decibels of sound. The World Health Organization recommends children not be exposed to any noise louder than 140 decibels. According to Dr. Swibel Rosenthal, one of best ways to protect a child's hearing is to keep a large distance between the child and the fireworks.
"The farther away you are the less impact the fireworks will have on a child's hearing. Sit at least 500 feet away from where the fireworks are launched. Also, consider purchasing noise reduction earplugs or headphones, which can help protect a child's hearing," Dr. Swibel Rosenthal said.
Though most of the injuries she's seen have resolved on their own, she warns parents to take the danger seriously and to think about their own hearing safety as well. She also warns there is no surgery to fix hearing loss from noise exposure and encourages parents to be proactive in keeping their littles ones safe from exposure to loud noises.
"The feeling of aural fullness and mild hearing loss that most of us have experienced immediately after recreational noise exposure is usually temporary. But exposure to loud sounds over time can have a cumulative and permanent effect on hearing, so protect your kids' ears now to keep them hearing in the future," said Dr. Swibel Rosenthal.

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
Dear Parents of school-aged children under the age of 13,
In order for schools within the Orting School District to be able to provide your student with the most effective web-based tools and applications for learning, they need to abide by federal regulations that require parental signature as outlined below.
Our district utilizes several computer software applications and web-based services, operated not by this school, but by third parties. A complete list of the programs with the privacy policy can be found below.
In order for our students to use these programs and services, certain personal identifying information - generally the student's name and email address - must be provided to the website operator. Under federal law entitled the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), these websites must provide parental notification and obtain parental consent before collecting personal information from children under the age of 13. For more information on COPPA, please visit http://www.ftc.gov/privacy/coppafaqs.shtm.
The law permits schools such as ours to consent to the collection of personal information on behalf of all of its students, thereby eliminating the need for individual parental consent given directly to the website operator.
Our district's Student Electronic Resources Acceptable Use Policy and Agreement (AUG), once signed by a parent and on file with the school, constitutes consent for our schools to provide personal identifying information for your child, consisting of first name, last name, an email address and user name, to the operators of any current and additional web-based educational programs and services which our school may add during the upcoming academic year.

When buying a pair of brake calipers for your race car you may have a choice of piston material. Generally it is either titanium or stainless steel. Certainly titanium is the sexiest and does offer some advantages in heat transfer properties. However this may come at a price. Titanium is much harder than the bores the piston rides in. Therefore they can scour the piston bores. The only repair is to have the bores bushed back to the proper sixe. An expensive and not always practical solution.
Stainless steel, while not quite as good heat transfer wise is not nearly as rough on the bores. Just be sure that you specify a heat shield on the piston.

The Lincoln Family Home
"His father was born in a log cabin and called from the humblest rank in life to preside over our nation during the most momentous period of its history. One generation later, Robert Todd Lincoln, the only child of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln to survive to adulthood, became Chairman of the Pullman Company, the largest manufacturing corporation at the turn of the 20th century. He built his Georgian Revival mansion in 1905 in the scenic village of Manchester. It became home to only Lincoln descendants until 1975, longer than any other Lincoln residence. It is the Great American Story."

Remember – it isn't all about bar-b-ques and wild parties….
By U.S. Navy photo [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons I wrote this story a while back to honor those our country has lost defending our freedoms, and it seemed only right I share it again this weekend.
The Final Goodbye
He stood alone. As he gazed out at the white crosses that covered the beautifully manicured lawn he felt the weight of his 48 years drag his shoulders down in a way he never had before. It had been a long time since he'd been back to this place, and he'd hoped to never return.
"A parent should never outlive his child." Grief scratching at his throat.
He blinked back tears that stubbornly refused to fall. Part of him clung to the image he had in his mind's eye. Full of laughter and vitality, that precious dark head bent over to kiss his young wife's distended belly, before he turned…

A Legislative Perspective on the Kentucky General Assembly with State Representative Rick Rand
FRANKFORT – This week, as we turn our focus to family, food and – for some – football, now is the ideal time to pause for a moment to recall all for which we are thankful.
At the state level, the good news is that some silver linings have begun to shine through after several especially tough years.
The 12 months between Sept. 2011 and 2012, for example, saw Kentucky add 47,000 jobs – our highest year-to-year total since 2000. Only South Dakota had a larger percentage increase during the same 12-month period.
The foundation for this success has understandably drawn some positive press for the commonwealth. In March, a trade publication targeted at business leaders put us eighth among the states when measuring major industrial growth, and a month later, Governor Beshear announced we were also eighth nationally in the number of new start-up companies in 2011, indicating fertile ground for small businesses and entrepreneurs.
Since 2007, according to USA Today, our personal income growth has far out-paced the national average by almost three-to-one. Only West Virginia has seen a steeper rise when compared to the surrounding states.
A recent CNBC report, meanwhile, said no state has lower costs for doing business, and we're considered fourth-best when measuring cost of living.
All of this good news looks to continue, if the latest annual survey of manufacturers commissioned by the Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet is right. Earlier this month, it reported that 52 percent of the 184 companies questioned said they plan to hire more people in 2013. Combined, these companies have a workforce of 68,000 people.
Another bright spot for our future is the success we're seeing in our schools. In January, "Education Week" moved us up to 14th in its annual "Quality Counts" report, which tracks key education efforts and outcomes. That's 20 spots better than the year before.
Fourth graders are among the top 10 states in reading, while eighth graders are 12th. That older group has also beat the national average in science for more than a decade.
In high school, we're seeing a huge increase in the number of students taking Advanced Placement courses, which provide college credit with a passing score. Between 2008 and 2012, the number of test takers grew from 14,000 to 26,000, and the percentage passing nearly doubled as well.
When taking a look at the holiday itself, we can be thankful that it was a native Kentuckian – President Lincoln – who declared that Thanksgiving should be on the fourth Thursday of November. Before, the date was not always locked in stone nationwide; here in Kentucky, in fact, the first official Thanksgiving was held on Sept. 26, 1844. Two years later, it was moved to late November.
Although many families eat at home, the Kentucky State Parks offers a true feast at its 17 resort park restaurants for those wanting something different. The cost is $18.49 for adults and $8.49 for children six to 12; younger children eat for free. The dining room will be open from noon until 8 p.m. on Thursday.
No matter where you may be, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and that the upcoming holiday season is truly special. As always, if you have any questions or concerns about state government, please just let me know. You can write to me at Room 366B, Capitol Annex, 702 Capitol Avenue, Frankfort, KY 40601.
You can also leave a message for me or for any legislator at 800-372-7181. For those with a hearing impairment, the number is 800-896-0305.
I hope to hear from you soon.

The blackberry bushes in Barbialla Nuova are loaded these days - and we can't stop picking. It is a lengthy process, but we make a jam with them that preserves all of the original flavor, and it is sold out very quickly. Well, it will be back in the shop soon!
