BRUNSWICK, Ohio -- Where are they now? I was stunned to see one of the Facebook "look back" photos taken eight years ago! It doesn't seem possible it was that long ago that I had breakfast with these very cute and smart young students.
Father Bob Stec and friends took photos that day -- I have used it for my own cover photo. I can't help but wonder, where are these young people now? If you know, let me know.
Middle schoolers move on: Congratulations are in order to local middle school winners of the spelling bee sponsored by the Akron Beacon Journal. Highland Middle School students Caty Harter, Jordan Bay and Kylee Studd, along with Edwards Middle School student Alexianna Holyko, were among the six students who will compete at the regional competition March 7 in Akron. We wish them the best of luck!
Feeling safe: Did you see the list of Safest Cities in Ohio? Most of our communities made it near the safest in both the small and larger population categories.
Congratulations to the awardees: The Medina County Convention & Visitors Bureau Board of Trustees has announced the 2020 Medina County Visitors Bureau Promotional Assistance Grant Program awardees.
They include The Lodi Railroad Museum, for marketing the National Train Day May 9, 2020; Main Street Medina for marketing of the 2020 Candlelight Walk Nov. 20, 21 and 22, 2020; and Main Street Wadsworth for marketing the Downtown Art Mural Program promoting visitors to downtown Wadsworth to view the murals in 2020.
The Visitors Bureau grant dollars presented to these organizations are for marketing their events to help draw new visitors to the specific events, as well as new visitors to Medina County.
Travelers spend money locally when they come into the area for events. The Visitors Bureau goal with the grants is to assist local non-profits in marketing to new attendees, thus helping bring new visitors to Medina County.
Applications for the 2021 grant program will be available this August.
They won: Congressman Bob Gibbs has named Brunswick High School students Kaitlyn Scheutzow and Kara Beth Nemet as winners of the Congressional App Challenge. Their app, Car Road Driver, creates a quiz for Ohio teenagers preparing for their driver's license test. (Wow, what a great idea!)
BBQ contest set: Start up your grills! It's time to prove you're the best Backyard BBQ chef in all of Medina County! Enter the Amateur Backyard BBQ Cook-off sponsored by Fixler Roofing at the Medina County Home & Garden show on Saturday, March 7, at the Medina County Community Center, 735 W. Lafayette Road.
Entrants in the Cook-off prepare their best chicken and/or ribs to compete with other backyard BBQ chefs to win bragging rights as the "Best Backyard BBQ in Medina County," along with cash prizes and trophies.
Entries will be judged in a blind competition by three local experts. It's $10 to enter, and will surely be a fun day of friendly rivalry and great smoky smells!
For rules and entry form, go to medinacraftshows.com/homegarden or email firstname.lastname@example.com
The show on March 7 and 8 features more than 130 exhibitors with helpful products and services for your home and yard. The Main Garden will feature a relaxing back yard with a "she shed" where she can get away from it all.
Stefanie Paganini, local celebrity chef, will be offering cooking tips at 11 a.m. March 8. Other presentations include a succulent garden make-it-take-it by local blogger Kristin Gambaccini and a fairy garden make-it-take-it project by Boyert's Greenhouse. And the Snarky Gardener will talk about deer-proofing your garden. A complete list with presentation times can be found at the website.
Show hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, March 7, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, March 8. When the show closes on Sunday, all plant materials -- trees, shrubs, flowers -- will be for sale at wholesale prices.
Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors 60 and older, and free for children 12 and younger.
I wonder: I'm writing this before the annual chili cook-off sponsored by Medina County Auditor Mike Kovack, but last year's winner, Brian Ousley, has committed to making a French onion soup at the Brunswick Area Historical Society's "Old School" Soup Supper on March 5.
I wonder if his winning ways carry over into soup flavors? You're invited to come taste a wide variety of soups made by local cooks from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Brunswick Eagles Club.
You can learn more at the website: brunswickhistory.com/ and you can read about other events and happenings at Heritage Farm.
Looking for a good cause: The Medina Breakfast Kiwanis Club Board of Directors is seeking applications from community organizations that would like to be considered for grants for the use of funds generated from the annual Medina County Sports Hall of Fame event.
The club is accepting applications for grants, which will be from $1,000 to $5,000 maximum, depending on availability of funds and the number of recipients chosen for a grant. The focus of grants to be funded will be on organizations that support children and families in Medina County. Deadline for applications is March 1.
All applicants must agree to have their organization included in any and all news releases, social media, cable TV posts and notifications to potential sponsors of the Hall of Fame. Grants will be awarded after the Sports Hall of Fame event, which is scheduled for June 18.
Interested community organizations should contact Alan Penn at email@example.com or 330-421-3283 for a grant application and any questions.
TRC inducts new member: The Brunswick Rotary welcomed a new member with a familiar name: Lt. Robert Safran from the Brunswick Police Department joins his wife, Tiffany, in Rotary, so the club once again has a husband-and-wife team.
There were lots of "Happy Bucks" given in his honor, along with Tiffany adding some for her son, Carsten, who is leaving for the Army this week.
The group also heard from Brunswick Fire Chief Joshua Erskine and Asst. Fire Chief Greg Glauner, who thanked members for the department's new thermal imager, which was purchased with money raised from the club's annual Gala, and for donations to the smoke detector program. They were able to buy ladders, drills, batteries and other equipment needed to install these in the homes of residents.
Light up the love: Yes, it's time for Valentine Neon Bingo at St. Ambrose Church. If you are 18 or older, you can plan on a fun night out on Saturday, Feb. 15, with DJ, music, black lights, Minute-to-Win-It games, 10 bingo games with $300 and $400 pots, $1,000 Coverall and instants. Makes for a great Valentine's gift and date!
Tickets are $30 and include a dinner and all bingo games. They are available at the church's front office.
Black History month salute: The public is invited to join the AAUW Medina County Branch, the Second Baptist Church and the Fellowship Baptist Church in a celebration of Black History Month at 7 p.m. Feb. 20. The program, "A Salute to Black Veterans," will be held at the Second Baptist Church at 451 Bronson St., Medina.
"This year's event will acknowledge and salute the black veterans of the United States of America Armed Forces who fought and continue to fight for all of our freedom, even when they had or have none of their own," announced Kim Oliver, Medina Branch Diversity Chair.
From Civil War regiments to Tuskeegee Airmen and in present-day incursions, black soldiers have distinguished themselves with valor. They will be celebrated in song, poetry and historic readings, with the assistance of the Claggett Middle School choir, the Medina Community Choir and Local VFW Post 5137. The Medina Public Library will also have a display of related books in the entry.
Overflow parking for the public will be west of the church at the end of Bronson Street at the Foundry (formally High Voltage Indoor Carting).

PLEASE READ-Anyone considering seeing The Nightingale PLEASE READ!!!
PLEASE READ-Anyone considering seeing The Nightingale PLEASE READ!!!
I've just finished screening The Nightingale. I considered not showing it but I have decided to for 2 reasons:
1. I don't believe in censorship.
2. In reading an interview with Baykali Ganambarr on Indywire I read a phrase about the film and the 2 characters Clare (Aisling Franciosi) and Billy (Baykali Ganambarr). The interview states that Billy's communication skills are limited (I did not see that, but anyway) but that "...the two nonetheless find common ground, forming the foundation for the desperate message for kindness and tolerance that "The Nightingale" wants to convey." Since kindness and tolerance seem to be so often desperately lacking in our society these days maybe this will start a conversation.
The interview referenced above was entitled "The 'The Nightingale' Star Says On-Set Psychologists Were Needed to Cope With Film's Brutality", it was written by Ryan Lattanzio, and published 11 August 2019. That said any film that has psychologists on-set to help the cast & crew cope with the brutality depicted in the film is not going to be for everyone.
For those who think that this film is the film adaptation of the book The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah-THIS IS NOT THAT STORY.
This film is probably the most intense film I've ever seen. There are several brutal sexual assaults of women depicted as well as at least one incredibly disturbing death.
I will not allow anyone under the age of 18 years to see this film. I will request ID from anyone who looks young enough to fit this category. If someone under the age of 18 years comes to see this film with a parent I will take the parent aside and tell them (graphically) what they are wishing to expose their minor child to. I will still not allow the minor to see the film. I said previously that I don't believe in censorship and I don't, but I do believe in protecting people and if you're under 18 years of age you aren't going to see this film here.
I will also be advising everyone who comes to see this film that it is very intense, depicts brutal sexual assaults (plural) and a horribly disturbing death.
All of that said I am glad I saw this film. The acting is superb. Baykali Ganambarr is my new favorite (living) actor. And Tasmania looks like the most beautiful place on earth.

Marilyn Manson: Tourniquet Meaning
Song Released: 1997
Tourniquet Lyrics
Things I cannot speak
She comes on like a crippled plaything,
Spine is just a string
I wrapped our love in all this foil,
Silver-tight like spider legs
I never wanted it to ever spoil,
But flies will...
anonymous Feb 2nd, 2019 2:47pm report
It's just a sexual act, but the woman went pregnant because his sperm went in.. he never wanted it to end like this but flies will lay their eggs
anonymous Sep 2nd, 2017 9:57pm report
The song is about the torture of the worm and how he realizes his place is to be hurt "She's made of hair and bone, little teeth, things that cannot speak, she comes on like a crippled plaything, spine is just a string" this describes what is presumably a doll that the worm uses to keep himself calm. The chorus states the main idea that the Worm accepts his torture from abusers and that sentiment comes from his horrific self-loathing.
anonymous May 24th, 2017 5:17am report
She's made of hair and bone and little teeth
Things that cannot speak
She comes on like a crippled plaything
Spine is just a string..
(A vulnerable woman needing attention and fixing.)
I wrapped our love in all this foil
Silver-tight like spider legs
I never wanted it to ever spoil
But flies will lay their eggs
I gave her all the attention she begged for. did what I could to make her feel safe. A sense of security can breed impulsivity. (go back to what your used to)
Take your hatred out on me
Make your victim my head
You never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet
- now she is done with me for the moment. however, she knows I will be here when she is hurting again.
Prosthetic synthesis with butterfly
Sealed up with virgin stitch
If it hurts, baby, please tell me
Preserve the innocence
We both know this is not going to last. we will pretend its innocent and has always been true. wellmake it beautiful. If you are tired of this, let me know, and we can be done with it. let me go.
I never wanted it to end like this
But flies will lay their eggs
I didnt want this. but our deamons came between this.
What I wanted, what I needed, what I got for me [2x]
I did this for me not you.
Take your hatred out on me
Make your victim my head
You never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet
Blame our toxicity on me, make yourself the victim. I thought I was the one there when you needed me.
Take your, take your
Get up out of me
I'm not proud with me
I never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet
Cominmg to realize that I thought you needed me, but I cut off your circulation (life).
just a thought anyway.

He's saying he will stop the bad blood flow,he will do anything,to make sure you are happy
anonymous Feb 3rd, 2016 2:42am report
i thought of it as some thing a little different that she came to him as needing to be rescued some one who needed to be saved fight her battles for him but it wasn't that way at all she ends up hurting him he and taking her hate anger frusteration out on him she isn't as sweet innocent and wounded as she appeared to be. she didn't need to be saved she needed a punching bag for mental anguish
Maggalo769 Jan 11th, 2011 1:51pm report
Ok at the beginning he says "she comes on like a crippled plaything,Spine is just a string" what he means is he enjoys what she's doing because she's like his "plaything". And he says "spine is just a string" what happens when you have a puppet with strings? You're in control. Then he says "I wrapped all our love in foil silver tight", "I never wanted our love to spoil,but flies will lay their eggs" ok this seems weird but simple. When you wrap food up tight it doesn't spoil,but only for a certain amount of time because eventually something bad will get to it and infect it. "flies lay eggs" ok what HE means is that he tried his best to keep their love tight and he wants it to last. But he knows he has to face the fact that nothing lasts forever. Then the chorus goes on to say "take your hatred out on me,make your victim my head,you never ever believed in me,I am your tourniquet" ok he means he doesn't want her to feel bad or have any problems and he knows she's leaving soon so he pretty much begs her by saying "you won't be angry anymore take it out on me". "make your victim my head" he means "give it to me fill my head with your hate I'll be your victim" When he says you never believed in me I am your tourniquet he means "you never thought I loved you so I'm proving to you that I do,your in control I am YOUR tourniquet" then he says "prosthetic synthesis with butterfly,sealed with virgin stitch,if it hurts baby please tell me" he means she's going through a phase and it hurts so he pretty much says "I know your going through pain so I'm here,tell me if it hurts so I can take it AWAY by you taking it OUT ON ME". Then he faces the fact that it's over and he done everything he could by saying "I never wanted it to end like this but flies will lay their eggs" then he says "what I wanted,what I needed,what I got for me" in a tone where it seems as if he talked to himself saying "I got what I needed and wanted but was it really what I wanted? Because it didn't last forever it's gone" then he says the chorus again but a few words switched he begs again and says "why? I have nothing to live for I don't believe in me". So to sum up this long ass interpretation IRS a song about a guy that loves a girl and is happy because he has something under control for once and tries to keep it and he believes in himself but then he abuses the love and it's over but nothing to do he tries to prove to her that he loves her and he'll take away her pain. But she doesn't listen so he goes crazy and realizes that there's nothing left. Well that's finally it. If you lasted this whole thing then you really care about this so good job. Gotta go keep it West Peace.

The price of the average three-bed semi in Co Donegal has risen 1.4% to €88,750 in the last three months, according to a national survey carried out by Real Estate Alliance.
The REA Average House Price Survey concentrates on the actual sale price of Ireland's typical stock home, the three-bed semi, giving an up-to-date picture of the property market in towns and cities countrywide.
Prices for three bed semis have remained at €85,000 in South Donegal for the past three quarters, but this masks a huge drop off in business from the North according to REA McElhinney in Bundoran.
"There is an overall hit to confidence and to people's willingness to make a major financial commitment to property while there is uncertainty over the border," said Michael McElhinney.
"On the upside, we are seeing a definite increase in dollar interest, and the market for second homes has started to spark again with families with children relocating from the Dublin market.
"We have seen a definite increase in people working remotely – living and operating in Donegal, North Leitrim and Sligo and maybe commuting twice monthly to Dublin."
There is good demand for semi-detached properties in the main towns and any properties that are put on the market attract good interest, according to Paul McElhinney from REA McElhinney in Milford, where prices have risen by 2.8% to €92,500 in the past quarter.
"A continued lack of supply is still driving this demand although prices are not rising to sufficient levels yet to encourage new builds." The average semi-detached house nationally now costs €215,269, the Q2 REA Average House Price Survey has found – a rise of 2.5% on the Q1 figure of €209,944.
Overall, the average house price across the country has risen by 11.2% over the past 12 months – in contrast to the 4.5% increase registered to the full year to June 2016. While new building is still in its infancy, new developments on sale in small pockets of the country have had an impact on the price and demand for second-hand properties locally.
"Agents have been reporting that where there are new homes available, the price of second-hand properties has been under pressure," said REA spokesperson Healy Hynes. "Most of our national housing stock is over a decade old, and house purchasers – especially first-time buyers – will opt for new builds at a higher spec, even if there is a marked difference in price.
"Our agents are also reporting that both purchasers and three-bed semi vendors are looking for larger homes, which is having an adverse effect on the supply chain, with the result that time taken to sell is now four weeks on average in Dublin and the major cities, and as low as three in some parts of the capital."

Arthur Miller's stunning series "A Baseball Card That Never Was" continues with this outstanding entrant featuring the first baseball player to surpass 60 home runs in a season, Roger Maris. This artwork is a mixed media on canvas. Specifically, the mixed media is acrylic enamel house paint, oil pastels and colored pencils and sealed with varnish. This piece imagines what a Maris entry in the pristine 1951 Bowman set would look like. Maris is portrayed in a pinstriped Yankees home uniform with a bat resting on his left shoulder. A black bar is located near the bottom of the artwork with "ROGER MARIS" painted inside in white text. The back of this artwork has "A Baseball Card That Never Was: Roger Maris (1951 Bowman)", "2018", and Miller's signature written in black. Miller's signature is also located on the bottom right corner of this artwork. This item measures 26 x 40 inches and is a one-of-a-kind display piece for any baseball fan.

MPs are demanding the competition watchdog break up the 'big four' accountancy firms to improve confidence in top company audits following the failures of Carillion and BHS.
A report by the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) Committee argues for the "full structural break-up" of KPMG, Deloitte, PwC, and EY into audit and separate consultancy businesses.
The MPs said such a move would be more effective in tackling conflicts of interest and providing the "professional scepticism" needed to deliver high-quality audits.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is to shortly deliver its final report on the issue.
Its initial proposals included only an operational split between audit and advisory work and cross-checks on audit quality to improve standards and boost competition.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sasha from Never change this Formula I've been using Burts Bees balms since childhood, cause I just have dry chapped lips since I was a kid. And the Pomegranate is my favorite. I always have one around. I find this formula a little creamier and it "sticks" to my lip without slipping around as opposed to the Vanilla Bean and Coconut & Pear (which I like the smell but the chapstick formula is different and more slippery so it doesn't work as a deep moisturizing balm). Please never change this, not even to alter the fragrance cause it is too perfect! And personally I don't mind the Pomegranate scent. It isn't overpowering - but if it's not for you just move on to another balm like the Honey which is also great for deep moisturization (and stop saying this needs to be changed please!).

Rated 5 out of 5 by burts bees fan from Best all around lip balm on the market!! I have been using Burts Bees Lip balms for years. Started out with the original one, which i loved and never went to any other brand after that. Have tried several of the different flavours and i find pomegranate is by far my favourite for how effectively it works. Not greasy, never dries out in the tube or crumbles, very smooth. Its light enough to wear under my lipstick, but works fantastic on the driest, chapped lips. Shouldn't be sharing this but, during bad colds, i use it around the outside of my nose when your skin gets raw from blowing and it is fabulous.....no stinging or pain! Both my grown kids have always used it and now their boyfriends are hooked as well. It works so well that the men don't care that it has a pink cap and looks like pink chapstick, which by the way it is not pink when put on. In the summer on the beach i use the burts lip balm that has the spf and it works great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lulu145 from Love it!! I was looking for a good lip balm and decided on the pomegranate because I've heard it's very moisturizing and good for the skin. I don't choose lip balm based on flavor or taste as I'm not eating it, but rather what's healthiest and most effective. I LOVE this stuff, and so happy I bought it. My lips are so healthy and moist and for those that taste is important, it's mild, almost tasteless with a slight fruitiness. Love this product as with all burt's bees products I've tried.

Rated 4 out of 5 by claire897 from I bought my first Burt's Bees lip balm a couple of months ago. I liked how it moisturised my lips during the cold winters. I lost the one I had so I bought this one. My first lip balm was Wild Cherry and it did not tint my lips. But, a couple of weeks ago, I bought the Pomegranate one expecting it to not tint my lips. But then I put it on and it kind of looks like I put on a tinted lip balm. I read the description of this and it said that this was a tint free lip balm. I still love the lip balm and how it works but I don't really like how it tinted my lips.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Becks3791 from My fav lip balm ! I keep multiple lip balms in my bag, car and at home, live in a dry Canadian climate and this is my favourite ! Goes on smoothly, moisturizes well, great alone or under lip stick, not sticky or waxy, gives a slight hint of natural looking colour to the lips, it's hands down the absolute best !

Rated 1 out of 5 by Peter from Not very good and poor features I decided to purchase a package of two in the Pomegranate expecting to like this flavor. Like the average guy, I keep this in my pocket all day long but we I go to use this the lip balm is very soft so pieces of it comes off. I've had other brands and it's never done this before even on my last Burt's bee lip balm. I had to buy a new one as the old one went in the wash so it was ruined. Won't be trying this flavor anymore

Rated 1 out of 5 by Care2 from Awful taste Bought the pomegranate lip balm today hoping it would taste better than the orange flavor I tried previously. It tastes absolutely terrible! Worse than the orange. Has a strong, unusual, unpleasant medicated flavor plus it made my lips tingle uncomfortabley. Not at all what I expected. Very disappointed.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Violet from Not appealing I just bought this 2 days ago and all the wave i heard was worthless. It doesn't have any tint at all and the taste is far from any fruit. I was so excited to try it and all my expectations were crashed. Wish they could've at least written that it is untainted. Would not spent my money here!

More websites are covering Eric Walker's Steroids and Baseball website that we discussed last week, including the New York Times. Walker suggests there is "no evidence" that anabolic steroids have increased home run hitting. He points to the power factor statistics to support his claims. Most baseball fans have never heard of Eric Walker; fortunately the NY Times gives us some insight:
Walker was a National Public Radio correspondent in the early 1980s when he began filling the San Francisco airwaves with his theories regarding baseball — specifically, that on-base percentage was undervalued, fielding was misunderstood and power ruled all. One increasingly intrigued listener was Sandy Alderson, then a young Athletics executive, who soon hired Walker as a team consultant and with him devised the Oakland philosophy now called Moneyball.
As Walker's website details, the increase in baseball's power factor has occurred gradually over the past 100 years with only two significant jumps:
Walker found two substantial and essentially permanent jumps. First was the 1920s, because of the introduction of a livelier ball and the sport's Babe Ruth-inspired embrace of slugging. The second was in 1993 and 1994, when P.F. suddenly leapt 7 percent to about 1.6, where it has since settled. Walker contends that such a jump is far more indicative of a change made to the ball — which Major League Baseball has long denied — than a steroid power boost, which would have produced an effect far more gradual as the decade progressed.
Thus continues the debate of the effects of steroids on baseball statistics.

Master Sword
Guardian Stalkers are recurring Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.[1]
Breath of the Wild
Hyrule Compendium Entry
Guardian Stalkers are a type of Guardian found throughout Hyrule, most commonly in the area surrounding Hyrule Castle. They were built by the ancient Sheikah to be used as a powerful weapon against Calamity Ganon.[2] During the events of Breath of the Wild, they are an enemy to Link under Calamity Ganon's influence. Guardian Stalkers have a large amount of health at 1500 and can fire powerful blue laser beams from their eye that can deal 58 points of damage. If a target is too close to them, they will attempt to distance themselves in order to fire their lasers; otherwise, they will relentlessly pursue the target until they lose track of it. Sometimes when firing their lasers, they will fire in rapid succession if their health is low enough and link has not moved too far from when they fired their last laser. These rapid lasers will stop if link gets hit too far from their last firing point, if link is no longer within their range, or at a random stopping point. Link can inflict a high amount of damage to Guardian Stalkers by deflecting their lasers back at their eye with a Perfect Guard. When defeated, they may drop any combination of Ancient Materials. Link can cut off the legs of a Guardian Stalker, which temporarily stuns them and results in Ancient Materials being dropped. This can also topple them, rendering them helpless. However, a disarmed Guardian Stalker will attempt to recover its footing and distance itself from Link while attacking, making it difficult to land further hits. If Link hits a Guardian Stalker in it's eye using a bow, it will temporarily stun it in a similar fashion that cutting off it's legs would do. Sometimes when doing this, the Guardian Stalker will move sideways in order to mess up link's aim. Using Stasis + on a charging up Guardian Stalker will stun them afterwards, even if not hit during stasis. In Master Mode, Guardian Stalkers will sometimes take slightly longer in their charge up phase before firing their laser to throw off link's timing.
A Guardian Stalker drops between 10 and 12 of:
Ancient Screw
Ancient Spring
Ancient Gear
Ancient Shaft
Ancient Core
Giant Ancient Core
Other Appearances
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
A Guardian appears as an Advanced Support Spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. When used, it increases resistance to weapons.

Bike lanes aren't exclusive either - cars move into them to turn right (in right-hand-drive countries) and cross them at intersections or to reach parallel parking. They open doors into them after parking. A sharrow is more like bicycle=designated or lcn=yes, neither of which is exclusive, even in the limited sense that a bike lane is.

I have only ever written about the boxes as gift packaging but they make wonderful containers for flowers on a table laid for a party.
Say you decide to celebrate a birthday with an al fresco meal. Order square or round or oblong boxes from us, the size you want but without lids, insert a block of styrofoam with tinfoil wrapped around the bottom and arrange your flowers.
After the party, you can give the flowers away if you like, as part of the fun. The box will only have cost about R12.00 anyway, depending on the size. If you don't want to give them away you can stack them and re-use them.
If you would like to put guest favours on the tables too, we have the perfect containers, small boxes the guests will love. I am adding a pic to remind you what they look like.
With end of year parties coming up, try our boxes to provide a surprise touch and save some money while you get the conversation ball rolling.

A low-ABV vodka by Purity Vodka hits the shelves
In addition to producing a new low-alcohol vodka "low-ABV" the brand premiered a gin for the first time.
The Swedish brand Purity releases a low alcoholic liqueur (30%) from traditional vodka distilled 34 times. The search for lower alcoholic beverages is frequent. In fact, women lead the desire to consume lighter alcohols. Therefore, explains Mathias Tönneson, with the new Purity they seek to satisfy this market.
Although a vodka needs to have at least 40% ABV in the United States and at least 37.5% in Europe, Tonnesson said consumers would tend to see the new liquor as 30% flavored vodka.
It can be enjoyed in cocktails, with champagne, with prosecco, served as a spritz with mineral water or tonic. But it is also enjoyed only with ice.
Purity x Gin
The brand also debuts for the first time in the world of gin.
They produce a range of gin Navy Strength, London Dry Gin and Old Tom. The particularity of these gins lies in Nordic berries such as the arctic lingonberry and blueberries as botanicals.
Purity performs very well in the vodka market, however, a shift to gin is necessary partly on the imaginative and creative side and partly on the demand side.
Find the new ranges of Purity:
Don't drink and drive. Enjoy responsibly.

Join the community to find out what other Atlassian users are discussing, debating and creating.
So I'm using Intellij Idea and the Atlassian connector to have my Jiras at hand. This is very handy.
I've changed my password for Jira and now the connector is not working fine anymore:
I've tried to update the password in the plugin settings for my project, I've delete the atlassian configuration everywhere (project and ide settings).
When I test my password in config view I got a 'connected sucessfully' popup.
Then I can use the plugin a few time and after a few commands I got an exception:
com.atlassian.theplugin.commons.remoteapi.RemoteApiException: myname:[password 11 chars]@https://my.jira.url/jira Login denied
Then I can't use the plugin anymore and I need to connect to Jira with a new http session and to enter a captcha to login.
For example after a clean IDE start I can list latest Jiras, pick one, add a comment, but got the exception when trying to log some time.
After a fresh loggin with a new browser session with the captcha, I'm able to log some time to the task, but then I got the exception when I try to change the state of the task...
What am I doing wrong ? Why the Jira server bounces me off after a few commands ?
Ok I realized that the task selector in the toolbar is driven by Idea itself and not the connector plugin.
So it has its own password stored, and this was the one interfering with the connector.

Schoolmates of mine from ,"PSSO" (formerly known as PSM- Philippine School Muscat) kinda mentioned this place a number of times, well recently I kinda had this idea, of trying out places here in metro manila that served "Arabian food" since I was born and raised in Muscat, Oman and sometimes I get "homesick" ,so its nice reminisce the good old days.
My good friend, Franz, is here in Manila and he misses Oman, badly. Then it gave me an idea, since I've already blogged a place that serves "shawarma", why won't I bring him to "Shawarma snack center" since I haven't tried the place yet, (some of my friends have been bragging it) and the opportunity to blog it also, and start this journey of like, searching "the best shawarma" that I could say is closest to the flavors back home.
Muriel, another friend of mine have been to the place already and she insists that we should try it, she says the place resembles the vibe back home and the food is good.
The place is located at 484 R Salas Street, Ermita, Manila. Lately my readers suggested, that I should give instructions on how to commute to the places that I've blogged.Well that entirely depends on where you are coming from first, but I'll mention some landmarks instead and try to give simple directions. If you are familiar getting to "Robinsons Manila" you're on the right track, as you exit the grocery (which is inside the mall), you'll pass by burger king, as you get out, cross over then over the left side, look for "SALAS STREET", then walk straight ahead until you see the signage. (I swear on that particular street, there are a lot of Arabian designed establishments-mostly agencies, its like you're walking on a middle east setting, you get to see Arabs walking too btw and other foreigners)
Okay, to honest, the vibe is sooo like back home, first its "spacey", makes it distinct like the restos back home, then the interior resembles an arabian or turkish restaurant, we were "Aawwed". It feels like home.
The place is sometimes a full house, depending on the time, with mostly Arabs dining in but we've spotted some "kababayans" also.The employees are mostly composed of Filipino staff, they were really accommodating and friendly. Another thing, YES, they have WIFI ! ,( I kinda miss seeing Arab servers and hearing their exotic accent. )
(SPOT THE OMANI 1 RIAL hahaha! )
The menu had a lot of varieties, covers different arab cuisines from different regions and ofcourse the common arabian food we order. The price rates are ranging from affordable to pricey (just some), If you're a student, its nice to share paying the bill with some friends.
We've ordered our favorites, Shawarma, biryani or beryani and hommus with pita breads
Our favorite was the biryani/beryani, the flavors were playing in our mouths and I like mixing mine with some garlic sauce, it was so good and you can taste the spices, it wasn't that spicy, which I loved most due to some medical reasons for me. But I guess you can request for it to be spicier, for others. Worth what you've paid for, the servings is good for 3-4 persons.Costs around P300+. I give it a 5/5 score.
(They have yogurt also, for P80)
The hommus was good, whip it on a pita bread, you're good to go. Hommus was worth around P135 and the pita bread varies if Arabian (P12) or Wheat (P16). 5/5 score.
Okay my Shawarma verdict, presentation wise it looks like a Shawarma, the contents, there were pickles mixed in it with other veggies and actual chicken cuts inside. Overall it was "masarap", I appreciate it more with garlic sauce, flavors played well but their shawarma is more of the Mediterranean touch, Its not Istanboly-ish, If that is what you're expecting. The servings is alright, We ordered the "3 shawarmas", you can have either beef or chicken for P250. 4/5 score.
Coming from Quezon city going to Malate and dine at Shawarma snack center was worth going for, we are definitely coming back. If you are from the middle east or someone like me who grew on loving the arabian culture and feel a bit home sick, come to Shawarma snack center and if you are a foodie also like me, come to "SSC" and have that "Arab experience"

Apple introduces Australian market to lower App Store price tiers
Apple on Thursday announced it has extended the App Store's "Alternate Tier" app pricing structure to Australia, adding two low-cost price level options for developers in the country.
Along with Australia's usual "Tier 1" App Store pricing of AU$1.49, a figure bumped up from AU$1.29 earlier this week, developers can now elect to charge Alternate Tier A and Alternate Tier B rates for paid apps and in-app purchases. Tier A and Tier B prices are only effective in Australia, meaning apps set to sell at those lower prices will carry Tier 1 pricing in other countries, Apple says.
The alternate price tier program is currently live in select markets around the world. China was one of the first App Stores to boast lower pricing options, and Apple later expanded the program to India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, South Africa and Turkey this summer.
Australian developers can get more information about Tier A and Tier B pricing via My Apps in iTunes Connect.
Due to fluctuating exchange rates, Apple recently made a number of price corrections to its online storefronts. Aside from Australia's App Store price hike and today's introduction of lower price tiers, the company upped digital content costs in Indonesia and Sweden. Yesterday, Apple raised Mac hardware prices in seven countries, including an 11 percent jump in Australia.
