She never thought about having to spend Halloween inside. Mostly alone. It had been the most fun to be at Débauche and to work during special holidays such as these. Last year, she was dressed up as a zombified Disney princess that got her a lot of attention from freaks, but it had been so much fun.
And now she was stuck inside. Away from the club and reading a book about Travelers. It was such an extensive book, and she didn't want to skim over it because she was afraid she was going to miss things. She wanted the book to kick start Peter's wonder brain, but she had promised Klaus not to do that before she read it all herself. And without him.
Elijah and Hayley were going to a party thrown by Elijah's little vampires, and Klaus was hunting down Lucien to have another encounter with Alexis. Freya was out, partying. At least Bella wasn't stuck with Hope duty. The worst part of it all that Klaus had asked her to stay in the study or the bedroom and not go to the courtyard, that the servants would make sure she was well taken care of.
She wasn't sure what was worse; living at the Compound or Débauche. All she knew was that she wanted to party. She had swung the balcony doors open and heard music and laughter coming from the streets. Having that as her music, she continued to read the book. Bella started to pay more attention when she came to the Petrova's. There was nothing about doppelgangers or singers, much to her disappointment, but that was because they were rare things. And as far as singers, the Cold Ones liked to hide their truths.
Klaus had told her that they only learned of the line of Petrova's being common for doppelgangers after they met Katerina, it was the line that he and his family had traced back to Tatia, who was in their village and the two were the spitting image of each other. Elijah had a book with that entire lineage, and not much of it, but this book, Kol's book, was so much more.
She didn't know the guy, but she thought he was awesome. Smart, to have a book on some very powerful witches, where, more often than not, their weaknesses were being discussed, and how they managed to overcome them. If this book was the key to knowing what was wrong with her, then she definitely owed him a drink in the afterlife.
It took her a few more chapters to get to the line of the youngest brother of Katerina's father, and she was fascinated by what she was reading. It was truly the origins of her family. However, there was nothing mentioned about the line being extra special. She kept reading, and once she got to the juicy parts, on how the Travelers existed and who were in it, a few familiar names popped up for doing a lot of bad stuff.
That, and the fact that the Travelers seemed to be the root of all evil as well when it came to Cold Ones. She had gold in her hands. This had been one book talking about the origins of the Cold Ones that the Volturi hadn't been able to destroy. Well done, Kol.
This could give Peter some more insight as well. Jumping out of the chair, she made her way over to the alcohol and poured herself a generous glass. She wanted to party, and since she was alone, she was going to party by herself.
Taking the glass with her, she went to the bedroom to grab her iPad and sent Myriam a text message, wishing her a happy Halloween before connecting it to her portable speakers and pressed her playlist. She was going to get drunk and dance all night until Klaus would come home and if she'd remember, she was going to tell him what she'd learned. If she didn't remember, well, then he'd just had to wait until she'd sobered up.
Bella lost track of time when all of a sudden she could hear Klaus complain from his study that she was playing her music too loud and that he needed to have a chat with Marcel about the night's events. Grumbling, she turned it down somewhat and poured the remainder of the decanter in her glass and continued drinking.
She couldn't wait for Klaus to be done. She had something important to share, but what was it? Klaus sounded angry and then the voices left the study to go downstairs or something. She didn't care. Bella turned her music back up and went to look for more booze as she downed the glass and nearly bumped into the doorpost. Giggling, she found a full decanter of bourbon on a side table – that was one good thing about living with vampires, there was alcohol on every table, or it seemed that way and brought it back to the bedroom.
It didn't take much longer for Klaus to join her. She caught him watching her from the door as she danced and tried not to bump into things. "I thought I told you to turn it down, love."
"Oh, poop," she huffed as she stumbled to her iPad and turned off the music. "I'm having fun. It's Halloween, and I have nowhere to go, no one to entertain… I mean, you were gone all day, leaving me with this boring book and hearing people in the streets having fun…" She made her way over to him and sighed. "And I don't know if I'm drowning my sorrows or celebrating, how grand is that? I am so drunk that I forgot what I was doing or what the reason is!" She tugged on his shirt and pulled him towards the bed. "Come."
"You're acting like a spoilt brat, love," he mused as he watched her, making sure she was alright. "I need to tell you something before Elijah comes in and tells you the same story but from his point of view."
"Uh-huh," she said as she pushed him onto the bed and sat down on top of him. She then wasn't sure what she wanted to do, before remembering the night before, where she had massaged him, and his cock seemed lonely. Smirking, she slid down his legs, off the bed to help him out of his pants.
"I uh… well, Lucien and I went to crash Elijah's exclusive party with the Strix."
"Uh-huh," she said as she yanked his pants over his shoes, losing everything in the process. Putting her hands on his thighs, she looked up at him with a smile on her face as she was sitting between his legs.
"We came in with a bunch of girls to make sure that Freya could slip in without detection."
"Okay," she said as she licked her lips, remaining eye contact with him. "Was that it?"
"Elijah might say that I was too handsy."
Her smile turned into a pout. "Were you?"
His eyes widened in shock and disbelief. How could she believe that he was? "No! No, of course not!"
"I think you were," she said sadly. "Because you were having too much fun all day and you forgot all about me. You left me here. You didn't even call me or send someone to check on me. What if I got killed by Peter? Or by someone else? I could have stupidly fallen over the balcony and dropped dead on the floor."
"You're silly, Bella."
Grabbing his cock with a firm hand, she squeezed it, hard. "I'm drunk off my ass! Of course I'm silly!"
"Let go of the goods, love," he said with a strained voice.
"Fuck you, I'm going to suck you dry," she said as she loosened her grip and took him into her mouth.
Despite the fact that he would never object to receiving a blow job, he had to stop her. She was drunk and irrational. He had let her go on for a bit so that she, too, could blow off some steam but she needed to sleep it off. He tucked his legs underneath him as he pushed her shoulders. "No," he crooned as she released him. He pulled her up and carefully put her down on the bed. "We're not going to engage in sexual activities when you're positively drunk."
"That was your rule at Myriam's, that should be your rule now," he said as he tucked her in bed, it was a good thing that she was already in her underwear, so he didn't have to undress her. "Unless the both of us are equally drunk."
"That won't ever happen. You'd have to drink two crates of bourbon to get there," she pouted.
"Sleep. I'll feed you my blood in the morning to cure your hangover."
She groaned when the sun hit her face the following morning. Pulling her pillow over her head, she squeezed her eyes shut as thousands of demented midgets were using jackhammers to redecorate the inside of her skull. Bella had let herself go the night before. Too much bourbon. What was it? An entire bottle and then some?
The smell of fried eggs and bacon made her come to her senses somewhat, and when she peeked from under her pillow, Klaus was just setting a full English breakfast down on her side table with a big glass of orange juice. If she had to be honest, she was famished. She couldn't even remember if she had dinner last night. Crawling out from her little bunker, she sat up and smiled at him, thankful for the breakfast. "Hi."
"Morning," he said with a grin and kissed the top of her head. "Eat up, how's your head?"
"Eh, troublesome," she squinted her eyes when he moved out of the way, and the sun hit her face again. "I'm sorry, I kinda let myself go last night." She pulled the plate into her lap and sighed. "Tell me everything."
And he did. Everything that they had found out, rescuing Alexis, losing Alexis, everything. By the time Klaus was done telling her, she had wiped her plate clean and was about to trade the plate of her glass of orange juice. He could already see that she was pinking up and doing better. He had hid a little bit of his blood in the baked beans and tomato juice, figuring that drinking blood on an empty stomach wouldn't be a productive means of getting her cured of her hangover. "And now it's your turn to share."
"Oh!" She said brightly before downing the glass of juice and hopped off the bed to get back into her clothes. "You have to see this. This will shed so much light on the origin of the Cold Ones; you have no idea!"
"I thought you were reading up on Travelers?"
"Yes, I was," she smiled as she zipped her pants and threw on one of his shirts before taking his hand and dragging him to the study. "They were created by Travelers. By complete accident, of course, but created by them nonetheless."
Bella nodded. "Mmhmm. Something like 2000 years before someone named Quetesh…?"
"Ah, the Egyptian goddess of sexual pleasure and sacred ecstasy," Klaus mused before it hit him. "Qetsiyah?"
She rolled her eyes at him before nodding. "Yes. Anyway, the Travelers only grew in power over the centuries, but it all started with an accident. A few members of the Travelers wanted more power for themselves, at first, they were one with nature, and they decided to upset the balance. They were enslaved and made to build the Pyramids at Gizeh, and wanted to speed up the process because it was hard work," Bella explained as she pulled him towards the book to show him. "They dreamt of finishing their task and taking over from the Pharaoh at the time to better themselves, to create more wealth. It was during a regular day at sunrise in the camp when they decided to piss off the deities. It killed the entire camp. Or that's what they initially thought. From the ashes and ruins of the camp, the laborers rose, and their skin was reflecting the sun like tiny crystals."
"You're joshing me!"
"Nope," Bella shook her head with a smile. "The remaining Travelers lost their magic for a while and were banished to other lands such as Romania and Bulgaria. Some went to Greece. There were tales that one day, by the grace of the Gods, power would be restored to the Travelers and that they needed to fix their past misdeeds of creating the men made out of stone, as they were wreaking havoc over the entire continent. Now, around 100 years BC, the Travelers, especially in Greece, had finally been able to prove to the Gods that their past misdeeds were just that, the past. Sure, they were well off and revered by the regular folk, often being showered with gifts such as jewelry and food, but they only took what they needed."
Klaus grumbled as he sat down in the chair and pulled Bella onto his lap. He'd always known that his Bella was a history buff, but for her to piece together all the clues in the book, as they were just that, was just amazing. Or probably a remnant of the spell cast upon her. "Please continue."
"There was a gifted witch at the time called Qetsiyah. It appeared that she had mastered immortality and wanted to gift that to her fiancé Silas, but before that, her most powerful spell had been an idea, at first, her mentor had improved it and cast it, causing yet again an amount of Travelers to lose their lives, but this time for good. Over the centuries they had observed that some men and women of stone had shown interest in people, claiming that their blood smelled better than others, and how those people ended up dying. A lot. Qetsiyah's idea was to empower those better smelling humans to be the death of the Cold Ones, to clean up the mess that their ancestors had created centuries before."
"The spell required so much magic, and so much energy that it required the sacrifice of half the Traveler population and until the 10th or 11th century, there was no actual evidence that it had worked."
"So for 1200 years, they weren't sure if their sacrifice had been worth it? That's just stupid."
"Or ingenious," Bella pointed out. "It was prophesied that a new breed of Cold Ones would rise. They referred to them as Hot Ones at first, as they were seen as the complete opposite. While both were against nature, the Hot Ones would be able to blend in more with the regular folk as their skin wouldn't sparkle in the sun. They would be indestructible and populate the Earth."
"Are you talking about my family and our progeny?" He was intrigued now. He had always wondered why there were two types of vampires. Granted, they always stayed clear of each other, respecting each other's culture, but how was this possible?
"Well, you told me about how your mother sought out the witch of your village after Henrik died, to turn you all into immortals. That witch was a descendant of Qetsiyah and she flat out refused because she knew what danger it could bring to mess with nature. Remember, due to her immortality spell, she created the doppelgangers."
"My mother took it upon herself to turn us into immortals."
"And voila, the Hot Ones were born," she kissed him on the cheek. "And I must say, you are very hot."
"But just to be clear, love, we are not related to the Cold Ones at all, are we?"
"Oh, no, no, I don't believe so," she smiled at him. "You're pure blooded Vikings."
"I'm not a pureblood, love."
"I know, but as far as this book tells me, no Traveler went to Scandinavia, probably because it was too cold, and the Americas were too far away," she turned a few more pages and pointed at it. "This is give or take a few hundred years after you were created and had spawned little sirelings of your own. This story tells the story of Carmen, daughter of a non-practicing Traveler from Italy, and she was a singer. Like, a real singer. But she fell in love with a Hot One and a Cold One at the same time. The Cold One lusted after her for her blood, and the Hot One actually cared about her. Carmen's father remembered the story of how some people smelled better to Cold Ones than others and told her to be aware. She was too much of a talented singer to be killed."
"What happened?"
"The Hot One took her away, he took her to foreign countries and had her sing for royalty. They earned quite some money over the years and, after a while, they encountered the same Cold One at a French court. Afraid that he was going to lose her, the Hot One turned her, unlocking the spell that was cast centuries before. Carmen found that she could easily kill the Cold One. And she did. Her blood turned into a beacon and for years, Cold Ones came to her wherever she performed, and she killed them all."
"Are you serious?" Klaus laughed. "That sounds bloody awesome!"
"It does," Bella smiled at him. "It took Aro and the other Volturi nearly 100 years to be able to end her life, but the damage had been done. Carmen, the singer, had slaughtered half of the Cold One population. Quite the embarrassment."
"And that's where the term singer comes from?"
"I guess," Bella said with a shrug. "I think Peter can fill in the blanks about the spell, what it does, exactly. This book isn't a grimoire, more like a journal."
"Anything else that sprung to your attention?"
Bella nodded with a sigh. "But we'll get to that later, okay? Let's talk to Peter about this and see what he has to say. Maybe this information will do nothing for him, maybe it will."
"Has he been fed at all?"
"We'll take a fresh blood bag downstairs, but he's a little bit of a purist," she shrugged as she got off Klaus' lap. "He'll eat when he's hungry, just like any other household pet."

I have a lovely traditional shopping basket that I like to use when I go to the butcher in the village.
It wasn't always mine but it is in good condition. It has an original elasticated fabric cover that I absolutely hate so I decided to make a new one.
The original one has lots of raggedy edges and some questionable sewing skills so I suspect it was quite mass produced for very little cost. The colours and the pattern are just not me at all.
So I hunted through my growing piles of vintage fabrics to find the right colour and pattern for the job. I found pair of sweet pale grey blue curtains when I went searching that were just perfect to give this lovely little basket a nice coat.
And here it is. I'm very pleased with it and I think the pattern and colour are perfect for such a lovely thing.
It would appear that I have a weakness for baskets and have a couple more that I think could also benefit from a cover each. We'll see.

In order to grow beyond the early stages, a company must become less reliant on its founder
By Ichak Adizes
Material for this article was taken from one of his nine books, Managing Corporate Lifecycles (the third re-print has been published by the Adizes Institute Publishing, January 2005.

This article has recently been published by the "FAMILY BUSINESS" magazine, winter 2005 issue
Like any other organization, family businesses undergo life cycle stages. They are born, they grow and – unless management knows how to adapt – they wither and die.
As a business evolves from one stage to the next, problems inevitably arise. They result from change and can be predicted, just as a parent can predict how a two-year-old or a teenager will behave.
Although it is tempting to forestall problems by resisting change, that would be tantamount to committing organizational suicide. Instead, family business leaders must guide the necessary change that creates new problems, structure the organization to solve them and prepare to change again and to have new problems.
Family business founders are the glue that holds their company together. But as the business grows, that glue no longer binds the entire company – there simply is not enough of it. The organization must design new, depersonalized "glue" by institutionalizing leadership.
A family company must change from management by-intuition and management-by-the-seat-of-the-pants to a more professional process. Companies that fail to make this shift fall into the "family trap." These family businesses are primed for a crisis.
Here's where "family trap" problems arise in the three earliest stages of a company's life cycle.
The courtship stage precedes the organization – when the company exists only as an idea. During this stage, the founder builds commitment while testing the idea on others. Near fanatical commitment is necessary for a successful courtship without it, a company can break apart in tough times. But later in the life cycle, commitment can become pathological.
Consider a startup business that chronically loses money because its product is poorly positioned. It must adapt in response to customer needs.
The founder, who is technically brilliant but inept at marketing, resists the adjustment. The more he denies reality, the deeper into trouble his company sinks.
Founders must recognize when it's time to adapt their dreams to reality. Successful founders are highly committed but also willing to learn from experience.
A family business changes dramatically in its infancy, when it must shift from ideas to results. The infant company hasn't mastered time management yet; it responds to the squeakiest wheel (management by crisis).
Managers of infant companies, who tend to be product rather than sales-oriented, keep tinkering with the technology. It's a neverending process not of continual improvement, but of continual perfectionism. A sales orientation usually doesn't develop until the next life-cycle stage, but if it's delayed too long, the business will fail.
The family ethic dominates; everyone is on a first-name basis, with little hierarchy. There are no systems for evaluating performance, particularly of family members.
The organization lacks managerial depth and has no capable leaders to replace its founder. It has no track record, so a mistake in product design, sales, service or financial planning – which is highly probable-can have fatal repercussions.
The enthusiasm typical of founders during courtship often leads to undercapitalization during infancy. Entrepreneurs project extravagant sales and conservative capital needs. Instead of planning for the worst and hoping for the best – as they should – they plan for the best and expect it. The family's collective enthusiasm sustains the delusion.
The problem grows more acute when the company succeeds, since the more it sells, the more working capital it needs to finance its receivables and inventory.
Founders constantly face problems they are ill prepared for: dissatisfied customers, lousy suppliers, reluctant bankers, unproductive family members and employees. Their commitment to the venture is tested daily. With few policies and an expedient need for cash, they develop bad habits and make decisions that set precedents. If the organization is to develop, its management must also develop. That means change.
The founder's hard work, refusal to delegate and emphasis on short-term results are the crucial elements of organizational survival during infancy. But those same traits can stifle a company during the next stage in its life cycle – the go-go stage.
Measured in terms of sales, the go-go company is successful. Climbing sales are proof that the product works. Proud of their success, founders want to extend their reach and move beyond the day-to-day operations. Bored with the details of running their organizations, they yearn for the excitement of courtship and infancy, when everything was new.
Go-go companies are organized around people rather than tasks. Leaders of these businesses react to opportunities rather than position themselves to exploit future opportunities they create. Family members are assigned tasks based on availability rather than competence. Decisions are made in piecemeal fashion under duress, with expediency the ruling factor. Under such conditions, how can anyone really know who's supposed to do what? Whenever a question arises, only one person can provide the answer: the founder.
At this stage, the organizational structure must change. Appropriate functions must be identified and an evaluation conducted to determine who should perform those functions. To institutionalize the process, family business owners must ask some hard questions:
- What is our vision?
- What do we stand for as a company?
- What is our plan for the future?
- How should the company be structured to achieve our plan?
Consider this case example: A family construction .business had hired six chief financial officers in five years. The founding brothers had repeatedly hired managers with financial experience, but they were all too much like the brothers-entrepreneurial types who were unable to implement operational systems and controls. The first step was to fix the structure, then bring in appropriate hires. After going through the sequence above, they formed a long-term plan and were able to restructure their organization, hiring managers with complementary strengths to help them achieve their goals.
The complicated dynamic of the go-go stage is that founders want to escape day-to-day management, but they don't want to yield control, even to other family members. So what happens? The founders distance themselves incrementally, but no one else has the authority (or the courage) to make decisions. Go-go leaders believe that after they delegate authority, their children or subordinates will run the show. So they take off-but not forever or for a predictable amount of time.
When they return, all hell breaks loose. The changes made in their absence displease them; the founders always have better ideas. They quickly re-centralize power; only to disappear again to take care of their latest outside project. Afraid of being reprimanded for taking initiative, the subordinates do nothing. When the go-go leaders reappear, they're frustrated over the lack of progress in their absence.
Escaping from the trap
To escape from the family trap, organizations must move from an absolute familial monarchy to a constitutional monarchy. What makes this so difficult is that most founders do nothing to facilitate the transition. It's hard for them to believe that anyone else can pick up the torch and continue the level of commitment and capability they have invested in the organization. As one family business CEO told me, "You can never see' the picture you and your family are in it."
For a family business caught in a family trap, the death of the patriarch likely means the death of the company. A family trap can also develop when the company fails to separate ownership from management and a family member takes over on the basis of bloodlines rather than competence. Defection by the professional managers follows shortly.
Our firm was hired to help a company that had been founded 20 years earlier by three brothers. The brother who had had the original idea for the business had the strongest commitment and entrepreneurial skills; he had assumed the role of CEO and primary decision-maker. After two decades, he wanted to step back from day-to-day operations. Although he wanted his older brother to take the reins, he was acutely aware of the brother's shortcomings, so he was reluctant to relinquish leadership.
We suggested delegating authority to an executive committee, composed of key employees in the organization whose managerial styles were different from, but complementary to, the CEO's. This made delegation easier because the deficiencies of a single person could be overcome by the competence of the group as a whole. Delegating to a team can also provide the CEO with built-in control mechanisms to keep him abreast of-and provide veto power over-agendas and decisions.
Ownership vs. management
Leaders of go-go organizations typically feel invincible. They spin off in a dozen different directions, rarely aware that they are constantly teetering on the brink of disaster. These business leaders must force themselves to set priorities and develop policies.
For family businesses in particular, an important step is to recognize the distinction between ownership and management. A board of directors with both family and outside members is highly recommended. The inclusion of non-family members is an important step toward institutionalizing leadership. It also requires a certain degree of maturity on the part of the family. The presence of outide directors forces the CEO to report on the company's operations and be accountable for results.
For families not yet ready to bring in outside board members, an intermediate step can involve creation of a family-only board to facilitate strategic decision making and help the family grow accustomed to the structure. Once family members are comfortable with the change, outside directors can be added.
Successful management means continually solving problems. Learning which problems typically arise in a company's various life-cycle stages can help you predict what lies ahead for your business, manage your time better and avoid the family trap.

Since Kanu is now done, I'm still on a figure kick so I figured the Asagi kit would be a quick and dirty build. I got through the initial sanding session, initial primer coat, fine tune sanding and surface fixes, then final primer. Below is a picture taken after the first coat of primer was sprayed.

Valve has revealed that the popular Steam Digital Distribution Network has once again doubled it's sales in the most recent year. This marks the seventh consecutive year that Steam has seen sales at least double. With over 1800 games available on the platform, and over 40 million accounts, Valve's network is on the level with Microsoft and Sony.
Valve's Gabe Newell commented on the successes in 2011 for Steam. "Steam and Steamworks continues to evolve to keep up with customer and developer demands for new services and content," said Gabe. "Looking forward, we are preparing for the launch of the Big Picture UI mode, which will allow gamers to experience Steam on large displays and in more rooms of the house."
Newell then coughed while uttering a barely audible "Half Life 3", then made a troll face to reporters. Ok, that last part didn't happen.

What's the best site for music and tabs???
I'm tired of surfing through hundreds of sites that have WRONG tabs and music. Is there ONE site that's better than the rest? I'd even be willing to pay a membership fee to a site that has correct information.
this is the one i always use:
there are probably better out there, but its free. Some of the tab is bad, but there are sometimes 2 or 3 versions of the song.
I dont use tab that much so i dont pay for it.
Anyone else have any sites??
Tocopherol, have a quick look at b-string's thread on this forum. I'm a poor specimen of a guitarist, but I thought the site was well-designed and useful for the more advanced six-stringer. Free, too.
If you're looking for tabs go to http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/ IMHO its better tha olga because you don't have to sort through 10 dead links to find the song you want. 70,000+ tabs and growing... not very often do I not find at least 3 versions of the song i'm looking for.
I'm tired of surfing through hundreds of sites that have WRONG tabs and music. Is there ONE site that's better than the rest? I'd even be willing to pay a membership fee to a site that has correct information.
Sites that allow anyone to upload tabs will always have a percentage that are 'wrong'. This is because they are merely interpretations of the original, someone has listened to a song then sat down and attempted to work it out, tabbing it as they go. Of course, the accuracy of any tabbed translation will only be as good as the ear and ability of the person doing it.
The problem you then face, is that given the way most sites are operated, it is simply impossible to check how good any tab is that is uploaded. In other words, a tab is uploaded to a site, there is not someone at the other end waiting guitar on lap, to check how good or accurate it is. Even those sites that claim to have, 'Complete Accurate and Free' tabs are just honeytraps to get you to view their associated popups by clicking on the link.
So to answer your question, NO site with public access can ever guarantee you completely accurate tablature. Some tabs will be truthful to the original, but until you play them, you can never know.
Having taken advice from my eldest who uses tabs a lot, she recommends for ease of use and quantitiy;
Having opened this page, click on the word 'Tablature' top left. There is also an extensive forum facility.
Like i said in an earlier post a lot of the TAB is very poor, im glad to see a very bad example still exists, couple of years ago i was looking through some of 'The Kinks' songs, and came across this unbelievable example here:
Go to 'You really got me' at the bottom of the list on the page.
Not only is it completly wrong, but the writer has the cheek to state 'Now wasn't that simple?' , So i e-mailed the Website (it was'nt this one, i think it was Olga, but Olga doesnt have it any more) and told them what a hash of a hash this was, and i got the reply back saying if you can do better....either put up or shut up, so i sat down and tabbed it out, sent it off and got a reply back saying it was too acurate and that all the tab on their site had to be a representation of the original song, this is how they get around the copyright, maybe they thought i copied it from a bonified tab book, but i didnt. So although some of these tabs look a bit naff, i think they have to be or they wouldnt make it on the websites.

Congratulations are in order for Chevel Shepherd. The 16-year-old New Mexico native took the title on "The Voice." Chris Kroeze came in second place, with Kirk Jay and Kennedy Holmes taking third and fourth place, respectively.
Chevel's win means that her coach, Kelly Clarkson, is currently undefeated.
The night was filled with star-studded performances from Kelly Rowland, The Doobie Brothers, Rascal Flatts, Halsey, and next season's new coach, John Legend. He and jazz superstar Esperanza Spauldingsang, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." Another highlight of the night was when Jennifer Hudson and Kelly killed on "O Holy Night."

The wheels are coming off the rally in the rand.
Volatility has jumped to the highest among currencies tracked by Bloomberg, catching out investors and driving others to steer clear of South African markets until the political storm has passed.
The roller-coaster ride is testament to the depth of concern among investors over the battle between Gordhan and supporters of President Jacob Zuma for control of the nation's purse strings. It also highlights the difficulty of assessing political risk in an emerging democracy such as South Africa, with some investors seeing recent events as a tipping point, while others regard them as noise that will blow over.
"The rand today is very, very hard to trade," said Guillaume Tresca, a Paris-based senior emerging-market strategist at Credit Agricole SA. "On a daily basis, it's a nightmare. You can have a rally for one or two weeks and it will perform very strongly, and all of a sudden you have a headline on the political risk and you can lose all your money in five minutes."
In April, as risks to South Africa's credit ratings rose and Zuma faced an impeachment vote, Credit Agricole forecast that the rand would weaken to beyond R16/$. Instead, it rallied to R13.2/$ in early August.
The rand gained 7.3% against the dollar in the three months ended September, the most among 24 emerging-market currencies. It ended last week 4.2% weaker, lagging behind its developing country peers.
Foreigners dumped R14.3bn of the country's bonds and stocks last week amid concern that Gordhan may lose his job. The currency plunged as much as 4.3% on October 11 after he was summoned to court on fraud charges. The next day, it gained as much as 2.5% as the head prosecutor said the charges could be reviewed. Volatility rose to the highest since June.
On Tuesday at 07:00, the rand was trading 1.5% stronger against the dollar at R14.09, leading gains among emerging-market currencies. All emerging-market stock and currencies rose on Tuesday as the dollar dipped after mixed US economic data didn't bolster the case for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates this year.
Greatest volatility
The rand is the world's most-traded currency relative to gross domestic product, according to Renaissance Capital, with global volumes averaging about $51bn every day, figures from the Bank for International Settlements show. Three-month implied volatility for the rand to the dollar, an indication of future price swings options traders expect, is the highest of 29 major and emerging-market currencies monitored by Bloomberg.
Traders paid the highest premium in three months for options contracts to sell the rand over those to buy it on October 11, as Gordhan was served with the summons. The three-month risk-reversal has since retraced to 3.6.
The currency will weaken to R17/$ by year-end after South Africa's credit rating is cut to junk, said Peter Attard Montalto, an economist at Nomura in London who says markets are under-estimating the political risks that affect the value of South African assets.
"The volatility in forecasts just shows us it's all ultimately down to personality politics at the end of the day, which is the worst sort and the hardest to factor in and forecast around," he said. "This is the depth of intrigue and unpredictability, ultimately."
'Really hurt'
Not everyone is bearish on the rand or staying on the sidelines. Standard Chartered said last week the "political noise" in South Africa is an opportunity to build "long" rand positions. Societe Generale SA last week upgraded the country's debt to overweight.
Francois Botha, who helps oversee R15.5bn of assets at Novare Investments in Cape Town, agrees that the rand's volatility makes it wise to be cautious. Investors who moved funds out of South Africa after Zuma fired Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene in December "got really hurt," he said.
"It's not the best move to react now, now that the currency has already been blown out," Botha said. "We're slightly more cautious because we've seen since the start of the year how the currency can react and it can appreciate quite a bit, and you don't want to be caught on the wrong side of that."
Emerging assets head higher as dollar dips on mixed US data
Emerging-markets were boosted after reports released on Monday showed manufacturing in New York unexpectedly contracted, while factory production across the U.S. grew for the third time in four months.
"The latest economic data from the US has raised more uncertainties about whether the Fed can raise their interest rates this year," said Andy Ferdinand, head of research at PT Samuel Sekuritas in Jakarta.
"Some people might see this as something positive for emerging-market assets," he said, adding that he still advised a cautious approach due to risks including the US election and corporate earnings.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 0.5% to 899.48 as of 00:09 in Hong Kong, with industrial and health-care stocks advancing the most. Celltrion, which produces and sells biosimilar products, led the gauge to jump 5.2% in Seoul.

text: Chrisdahlia 5 Posted May 24, 2019 So this is a post for anyone whos unlocked the PhD in murder achievment, I'm hoping you can help me out. 1st off can progress be made in offline bots or is it strictly multiplayer matches? 2nd did/is anyone else having trouble making progress? I go back to check on how far I am constantly but my completetion percentage keeps fluctuating. I was playing offline bots for a few hours thinking I could make some progress and my numbers just kept going back and forth anywhere from 60% to 66% complete. I spent 2,500 CP on the Rugby Player kill, figuring it was needed to progress and went into a game with just me and 1 bot, I used the kill on her but after it ended I went to check my progress and had dropped from 66% down to 60% does anyone know what's up with this?

Transgender Tuesdays (USA, 1 hr 2 min)
Directed by: Mark Freeman
Veronica Klaus
At age 13 Lisa left her Ozark mountain home (where if you didn't hunt, fish or trap, you didn't eat), went alone to the city and spent 30 years working the streets. Dustin got jobs working security in the inner sanctums of Vegas casinos, where he couldn't have been hired as a female. Kelly got fired when she became the first airline attendant to transition, on the job.
Marilyn recounts a series of misfortunes that would daunt even Lemony Snicket, after being abandoned at birth in a hotel room. Claudia found asylum after escaping torture and group rape in Mexico to come to this country.
These are some of the people encountered in this groundbreaking documentary.
In the 'bad old days' most of these folks mistrusted the health-care system and were used to facing life-and-death situations without any help. Hormones were from medical 'quacks' or off the black market, of unknown strength. But in 1993 a team of HIV providers at a San Francisco public health center, along with trans community activists of every ethnicity, broke the mold. Over 1500 came for the hormones and stayed for the health-care.
The warm narratives of these pioneering patients provide the film's beating heart, while revealing some harrowing places they have been. Yet by film's end their stories provide a sense of victory and hope for future generations, proving that this can and should be the standard across the continent.

Everyone has their mock drafts. So why can't I have one? Correct, I may be lacking the sources that a Peter King type may have; I may not have the inner-league relationships with GMs and other scouts like an Ian Rapoport has; and I, quite honestly, can only guess as to what teams are really thinking and what position and player needs they value most.
But none of that's stopping me!! Here we go!!
1. Browns
People want to debate the merits of taking a QB here. Bradley Chubb's name gets thrown around; Saquon Barkley is highly thought of. But let's be honest. Cleveland has needed a franchise quarterback for as long as I can remember — and I'm 36 years old. Don't get cute by waiting to get your QB at 4. Take your guy now.
The PICK: Sam Darnold, USC, QB
2. Giants
If the G-men wanted to trade out, you'd think they could have when the Jets were offering picks to move up from 6. The only reason you don't get out of the 2 hole is if you got a quarterback in mind. The Giants don't pick this high too often so they have to make it count. Last time they did — they took Eli Manning.
The PICK: Josh Rosen, Cal, QB
3. Jets
It's a quarterback here. The Jets gave up three 2nd rounders to move up three spots from 6. The problem I have is that the Browns and Giants dictate who the Jets get. If I'm in the Jets front office, I'm not comfortable with that. But if this selection works out, no one will care and no one will remember.
The PICK: Josh Allen, Wyoming, QB
4. Browns
This pick will be so highly-coveted that if the Browns want to deal it, they could get a king's ransom in return. For me, how many more picks do the Browns really need? At some point you have to actually take players with these picks. With Chubb, Barkley, and Minkah Fitzpatrick sitting here, I think Cleveland needs to grab one.
The PICK: Bradley Chubb, NC State, DE
5. **TRADE** Bills (from Broncos)
The Broncos still need a QB — Case Keenum signed only a 2-year deal. But they may be more apt to take one later in the first round. And it just so happens that the Buffalo Bills have the 12th pick and the 22nd that could be Denver's if they like. Buffalo cannot NOT take a QB in the first round. That said, taking one at 12 would be insane!! So they've got to go all-in and make THE move to be in position for one of the top 4 quarterbacks.
The PICK: Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma, QB
6. **TRADE** Buccaneers (from Colts)
I think Indianapolis GM Chris Ballard would love to trade down even further. Maybe someone comes up if they want Barkley or Quentin Nelson or one of the safeties. And the Colts could play poker here and claim to want the guy that another team covets.
The PICK: Saquon Barkley, Penn State, RB
7. **TRADE** Colts (from Bucs)
The Colts have so many needs that I think they'd be happy with any number of players in this round, which is why I can see them trading down multiple times. Seven is a good pot for them. While I think there are some really good defensive back prospects here that could certainly add value to Indy, they've got to look at protecting Andrew Luck.
The PICK: Quentin Nelson, Notre Dame, G
8. Bears
It's no secret that the Bears need to assemble weapons around second year QB Michell Trubisky. Signing Allen Robinson was important, as was getting tight end Trey Burton. They need cornerback help, too.
The PICK: Minkah Fitzpatrick, Alabama, S
9. 49ers
San Francisco is in the position of really taking the best player on their board. They can use help and add depth at almost any spot on their roster. A versatile linebacker or a cornerback might be where they look.
The PICK: Roquan Smith, Georgia, LB
10. Raiders
Who's making this pick? Reggie McKenzie? Jon Gruden? Mark Davis? I'm not sure. And that's a big question. I gotta think Gruden's opinion matters a lot. Cornerback could very well be the choice, but a pass rusher could be too enticing.
The PICK: Tremaine Edmunds, Virginia Tech, DE/OLB

Take a look at all the guys who made btc predictions... and failed - it means, logic says, they...
1) was the call clear "we might see at xx or yyy" it is not a clear call. "it will go to xxx" is a clear call.
2) what's his track record. Not after 3 months - everybody can win after 3 months, go and pick 3 random coins at their all time lows... in bear market and wait 3 months and bam - you predicted... well no, you didn't.. because there is something known as "the cost of lost opportunity" - if guys had their funds locked away and they could have traded and earned more... then your 'winning' call turns into losing... Our team tends to minimize those while keeping it to real investment.
I do love to do long term investments, but it is a clear, labeled as long term... and it comes from a trader who knows to do short term. if you can't do short term, you can't do long term either - you're just using the stream... the up stream of alts...
And for the conclusion -
who do you follow?
ME! That's who!
Who do you trust?
Because as cocky as it might sound - you trust your own eyes - I am in fact the most accurate (now I can proudly say with my all-star team!) crypto trader in the world!
How certain?
Well - show me anyone more accurate and I'll either 1) prove you you're wrong 2) if you're not - I'll learn what I am missing or 3) partner up and bring him in addition to our all star team.
I follow ALL my competitors.
Some have different styles, and I love them.
Some are just inaccurate, but so what - there is only room for one at the top.
But some... some are bad, corrupt, greedy pieces of shit that don't deserve to be in this space. And I don't worry about them - I warn you - to be careful who you follow with your money - because sometimes free can be the most expensive piece of advice you ever got.
Because I'm a good guy - unless they contact me for an opinion, I won't name the competitors. With most I am on good terms, with some on great even. But there are those little rats, below 1000-2000 followers that cost you the most of money.
Guys with 50,000 followers, they can be less accurate, but at least they have some standards.
I thought of making a challenge, for the best crypto trader in existence... that each puts 1 btc in the pot and we play 20 trades.... after 20 trades, the most profitable trader takes all. However, that would be just me blowing my own horn.
Once again - I do respect my honest, competitors with integrity. I fucking don't respect greedy pieces of shit that have zero expertize that come advertise in my channel, talk shit about me (the biggest shit - that THETA is pump and dump coin - like what the fuck - it tells about his intelligence enough - 80 million dollar cap coin isn't really the easiest thing to pump + the pumps are happening all at a same time, not when you tell people go read the book give them at a different times... so that the PUMP doesn't happen - because you care)...
So much writing... but even if it saves 3 intelligent guys from following the wrong people... it did the job.

Why spring crops are a better bet than autumn-drilled ones
Spring crops are less risky than autumn-drilled alternatives and could help growers cope better with the uncertainties of leaving the European Union, with naked oats and oilseed rape seen as the best bets.
The yield variability of these spring-drilled crops is less than their autumn cousins and they cost less to grow – and this is why they are a good option given the uncertainties around Brexit ahead, one expert argues.
Spring crops have increased in popularity among farmers who need to control blackgrass, spread workloads, and improve rotations – and some are getting close to the profitability of top-performing autumn-sown wheat and oilseed rape.
Paul Pickford, farm business consultant with advisory group Agrii, estimates that spring cropping next year could match 2017's increased area as growers recognise its advantages.
"Post Brexit, things will be different and growers may have to build a more robust business with more spring crops," he tells Farmers Weekly.

Spring advantages
Last season, the spring barley area rose by nearly 11% and spring beans were also estimated to have risen.
Mr Pickford argues that the yield variability of these spring crops is less than that of winter ones.
Comparing the low-yielding harvest of 2013 and the high-yielding one of 2015, winter wheat yield variability was 31%, while spring barley was a much narrower 19%, according to Agrii benchmark data.
Although output will be reduced with lower-yielding spring crops, growers gain by reducing machinery and labour costs for these crops, which need fewer inputs, Mr Pickford adds.
Looking at every £1 invested, spring crops show a better return than autumn ones, although they still struggle to match the best gross margins for the most profitable autumn-drilled crops, he says.
Naked oats
At the top of the spring profitability stakes come naked oats. They can command a £35-£40/t premium over feed wheat for their use in the specialist horse, poultry, pet and wild bird feed market.
Naked oats tend to lose their husk in combining, and are 20% lower yielding than conventional covered or husked oats. The area of the crop is currently small, but Agrii says it is looking for contract growers.
"Top growers can achieve yields of 7t/ha and at this level they start to compete with the gross margins from winter wheat and oilseed rape," adds Mr Pickford.
At this yield level and at current premiums, he predicts a high gross margin for 2018 of almost £900/ha, followed by a 3.5t/ha yielding crop of spring oilseed rape with a forecast gross margin just over £800/ha.
Spring malting barley and milling wheat crops yielding 8t/ha are estimated to show a gross margin of £735/ha for 2018. The feed barley margin is expected to be £600/ha, but peas, beans and linseed come in at below £500/ha.
Crop competition
"Spring crops can compete with winter crops – apart from winter wheat and oilseed rape – and are less risky," says Mr Pickford.
Gross margins for high-yielding milling and feed winter wheats and also oilseed rape will be above £1,000/ha for 2018, he forecasts.
Looking at risk and reward, spring crops start to look better than winter ones because variable costs as a percentage of output and farm subsidies are often less than 30% – while for autumn-sown crops the percentage is above this figure.
The key to getting spring crops to prosper is to look at fixed costs – and reducing them to bring down the overall cost of production – so that when prices do move, growers can lock in a decent margin, adds Mr Pickford.
Spring oats
Jim Carswell, research and development manager for the group's north region, sees a renewed interest in spring oats generally because of their health benefits: they are gluten-free and play a role in reducing cholesterol.
For the grower, they have a number of advantages: they are a true break crop and are almost immune to take-all disease – and oats compete very aggressively with blackgrass.
"They are a serious alternative and often a better option than spring barley or pulses, but make sure you get a buy-back contract," he says.
The group has stepped up its spring oat trials recently, reflecting a growing interest in the crop, which can offer growers late sowing opportunities. The crop is also tolerant of a range of conditions such as slightly acidic soils.
Price premiums
Matt Richardson, the group's northern seed manager, believes naked oats are the most interesting alternative spring crop for his area of Yorkshire, as there is a growing market and they can show a good return.
The naked oat grain is naturally higher in protein and oil than conventional oats and Agrii's premium over feed wheat ranges from £30/t just post harvest in September to as much as £45/t for June/July.
Mr Richarson again advises those considering spring crops to look at buy-back contracts to reduce risk, and the increase in spring cropping is prompting him to look for more spring seed growers in Yorkshire.
"We are looking for more growers of seed crops because of the increasing importance of spring crops," he says.
Mr Richardson has 1,500ha of contracted seed crops in Yorkshire, but only 25% of these are spring crops, with the rest being autumn-sown.
Options for Environmental Focus Areas
Growers should look at a number of options to fulfil their requirement to leave 5% of their land in Environmental Focus Areas, suggests Agrii's Paul Pickford.
This 5% EFA is a requirement to quality for farm subsidies under the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS), and in 2016 some 55% of the requirement on farms was met by nitrogen-fixing crops such as peas and beans.
But rules over EFAs have been tightened up, so pesticides cannot be used on pulse crops in these designated areas.
Mr Pickford suggests growers should use hedges and trees, ditches, field margins and buffer strip and existing fallow to make up the 5% of the EFA, and grow pulses on a commercial basis.
He also adds cover crops should be grown to benefit soils and the environment, and grown to qualify for an EFA only as a last resort.

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 96%
Number 3 of the Best Indie Films of 2014 is "Blue Ruin." It's a lean, mean revenge-centric film that doesn't think about any kind of repercussion, only the results. And what a better character to be put behind the wheel of this vengeful vehicle than someone who has nothing to lose; a seemingly soulless man who's been through hell and back only to exist in complete seclusion—surviving only on scrap.
Someone like Dwight (played by newcomer Macon Blair). He barely says anything; in fact, he probably has less than ten spoken lines throughout the entire film. There isn't much to say about him but a broken man with a tragic past, a dirty drifter who is living in a rusted out blue Pontiac (hence the title).
He's a relatively harmless man until one day, his switch, his thirst for blood and vengeance has been turned on when a police officer informed him that the person responsible for killing his parents is out of prison. That's when everything changed for him. The transformation is immediate. He becomes a completely different person both physically and psychologically. And so, the relentless wheel of vengeance has been set in motion—everyone who gets in the way is road kill.
Written and directed by Jeremy Saulnier, "Blue Ruin" is not your typical revenge movie. Sure, the storyline is a tired one but the atmosphere, the mood, the pacing and the potent human touch in this thriller are something to behold and experienced entirely. There's a poetic aspect to it amidst the gore and violence not found in most movies that belong to the same genre.
The pacing, lighting and even the decaying landscape set up the scenes pretty well. It also helps that the main character Dwight is being rendered more as a human being rather than a killing machine. He's clumsy, he fumbles a lot but what he lacks in skill, he more than makes up for his unyielding determination. It's an underdog story of sorts and you find yourself rooting for Dwight even if he's cold-blooded himself because his tormentors are the ultimate scum of the earth and the world would be a better place without them.
"Blue Ruin" is a slow-burning, gripping and visually arresting revenge thriller with a relatable human core. Actions speak louder than words and this film got its message across loud and clear without being long-winded. Brevity and viscera is "Blue Ruin's" mantra.
Dwight (Macon Blair) is a hobo. He lives in a rusted out blue Pontiac and survives only by scavenging through trash for food and money. But he's not wasting away by choice. He has a tragic past. His parents were brutally murdered by a member of a crime family a few years back and he has or at least tried to cope up by cutting himself off from society. Until one day, when a police officer informs him that Wade Cleland (his parents' killer) is being released from prison. He snaps and decides to take matters into his own hands. He confronts Wade at a club's restroom somewhere and fatally stabs him in the temple. Whether it's by pure luck or not is immaterial, what matters is that he has successfully avenged his parents and it might be the end of his suffering. So he thought. Wade's death is just the start of an impending bloodbath. As soon as the Cleland family learns about the incident, they will look for him, kill him and his surviving family. Now, he must strike first before the clan gets to him. In the bloodthirsty act of vengeance, it's kill or be killed.

Here, the problem is two-fold: so much choice I'd never choose what's in my own back yard, and everything on ugly, busy streets. We do have sidewalks, but it's not a pleasant experience.
Here, the problem is two-fold: so much choice I'd never choose what's in my own back yard, and everything on ugly, busy streets. We do have sidewalks, but it's not a pleasant experience.
With retirement a year or so away, I've been considering giving up my car (DH has one). I live blocks from a Safeway, but not close to too much else. BUT, transit here is very good and the bus stop is right by the Safeway. I was a transit user many years in my earlier life, and wouldn't hesitate to use it regularly in retirement to go to hair and doc appts., library, etc. The Downtown is very walkable. Just getting there by bus would be the thing.
My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
Walkability is a pretty high priority for us. Our current place has a walkability score of 94. That includes 2 libraries less than 10 minute walk away, 3 grocery stores less than a block away (including safeway), a wine shop, a movie theatre, walgreens, our vet, a little french bakery, and countless restaurants/bars/coffee shops all less than 10 minutes walk.
Walk-ability is very important to me given my aversion to driving, and I really do like to walk. I am less than a 10 minute walk from my dentist, the library, a bus stop, 7-11, 2 liquor stores, at least 7 take-out restaurants and one decent sit-down restaurant. The rail trail that we walk every day is about 15 mins away, also a national historical site/park where we sometimes walk. It takes 30 minutes to walk to my mother's house, my dog-walking gig, my hairdresser or the post office, although I do usually drive if I'm going to the other side of town, but it's nice to know I can walk it if I prefer. Our auto mechanic is also about 20 mins away.
The walkability score for an entire community is probably based on a great many assumptions.
Each residential address has its own walkability score. I thought the best use for the "Walk Score" site was to zoom in on a specific address and then do some searches for what is nearby. I arbitrarily chose Walla Walla, Washington, and the "Affinity" 55+ apartment building... at the address 1706 Fairway Drive. That building was not among those with blue icons, but the nearby buildings with icons had walkability scores that were in the 40s. FWIW, the website of the property claims that it is "... a walker's delight... within walking distance to a variety of restaurants, cafes, shopping, parks, and other amenities."
I searched "Public Transit", "Routes", and found that bus route 5 has a stop about 2 blocks away from the building at 1706 Fairway Drive.
I searched for "groceries" (checking the box), and the map showed nothing nearby. But when I typed in "Safeway" in the search box, the map showed a Safeway a block or two from the building.
I typed in "bank", and the map showed a branch of the Baker-Boyer Bank.
These little inquiries convinced me that while Walla Walla as a city might have a "Walkability score" around 47, a specific building might be a very short walk from identifiable services. (For instance, a carless trip from "Affinity" to the public library would involve a short walk to the nearest bus stop (buses run every 30 minutes in Walla Walla), then a ride downtown on Route 5.
Individual interests and affiliations would make a great deal of difference, for example walking to shul compared to say, a United Methodist Church.
Dado: Good points, you prompted me to look up my walkability score and it is only 52, but it feels better than that to me.
My city has a walkability score of 30 but my address has a score of 78. Almost every single thing I could need from doctor, dentist, groceries, hardware, vet, library, shopping, restaurants, etc. is a walk away within a one mile radius. Choice of neighborhood is critical.
My address has a score of 42 and the city as a whole 38. If you live in one of the newer subdivisions you couldn't walk anywhere.
My village is very walkable, and indeed the planning codes for it go into great detail about it being a "walking village", and some restrictions to encourage it to remain that way.
It is unfortunately about 5 miles from my house to the village. The village is also at sea level, my house at about 1200 feet of elevation. So I have to bike down to the village to begin my "walking village" experience which is fine. And if I'm only getting 2-3 bags of groceries, I can bike back. If I need to procure anything really bulky or heavy, I have to drive a vehicle alas.
I frequently walk to the post office and sometimes to a little strip center that looks like it came out of the 1950s about a mile away - it has a coffee shop, diner, grocery, liquor store, bank, hair salon, and hardware store. Best of all though, is a great walking park at the end of our block. Not a fan of new houses in the burbs so always look for older suburbs near downtown to live in.

I bought my Ruger P95 back in 2000. I've probably put close to 500+ rounds through it since then (don't really shoot it too much). I've never put reloads through it, usually use 9mm Luger 115gr FMJ Blazer rounds and clean it after every use. Probably during the last 100 rounds it started to misfire... pull the trigger and just get a "click". This would happen once or twice a clip. What could be causing this?

Eastern Connecticut Conservation District, Connecticut
Eastern Connecticut CD and its partners designed the project to address needs in food security, conservation and capacity-building for the region's urban growers and their communities. It utilized three initiatives, interdependent and intentionally varied in their geographic reach and programmatic scope:
- Support GROW Windham to build a new 0.5-acre model community garden, and to assist with implementing conservation practices and provide funds to support a new garden coordinator position.
- Develop the new garden into a center that demonstrates conservation practices in urban agriculture and teaches community members about the values and implementation of them.
- Collaborate with growers and urban ag organizations to create a new network, modeled as a community of practice, to build capacity and community among these groups.
ECCD and GROW Windham designed and developed five Workshop-Workdays held in the new model garden, named The Thread City Family Garden. The half-day events were hands-on programs on soil health, water quality, water conservation, composting and integrated pest management. ECCD and GROW staff blended instruction with the construction and demonstration of practices and principles. Attendees, Windham Youth CORE members and volunteers participated in the following: evaluated soils and investigated soil health (mulch, cover crops, reducing till/disturbance, species diversity); excavated and amended urbanized soils for fruit trees planted; constructed a woodchip trench and soil berm between the garden and adjacent river, to protect water quality by managing runoff (the soil berm was planted with small-fruit crops); constructed individual soil berms for fruit trees on a slope, to reduce runoff and conserve water; constructed a variety of compost bins to demonstrate and trial each type; planted annual flowers and perennial herbs to increase food for pollinators. In addition to what was completed by attendees through the workshops, ECCD provided regular technical assistance to GROW Windham, including: soil tests for nutrient analysis and screening for metals; arranged visits to farms and urban-agriculture programs; and non-chemical control of gypsy moth caterpillars.
In partnership with GROW Windham, EECD connected with other urban growers throughout the district – an area of 1,150 square miles with several urban communities and higher-than average food insecurity. Representatives from community gardens, urban-ag organizations and ag-education programs joined meetings to share ideas for a new network focused on supporting community growers in eastern Connecticut. Through a series of meetings, discussions about the region's challenges and needs led to a statement of purpose and work plan. The network, calling itself the Eastern Connecticut Community Growers Network, shares resources (e.g. garden materials, seeds, harvest documentation methods), is actively recruiting new members, and has led to new and strengthened relationships among its members. For ECCD, the network expanded the reach of technical assistance and collaborations. For example, they aided NRCS-CT in collecting soils from eight urban farms and community gardens to screen for trace/heavy metals (pXRF analyzer), and this technical assistance was provided at no cost to the growers.
The new community of practice, the Eastern CT Community Growers Network, has steadily grown in size and become a self-sustaining group. In addition to establishing their own email group and shared-document drive, members are looking for grant opportunities on which to collaborate. Specific to ECCGN goals are grants that will enable members to develop programs on growing nutritious food and linking conservation in urban areas to public health. Members have agreed to meet quarterly and are considering presenting as ECCGN at future events in the region.
ECCD will continue to participate in the network and work with other partners, such as NRCS-CT and the State of Connecticut, to connect ECCGN members to resources, technical assistance and new partners to promote their success and growth. ECCD continues to participate in the Windham County Community Food Network as a member of its sub-group focusing on "growing spaces."
Educational materials developed and resources compiled in this project are permanent and will be available from ECCD, GROW Windham and other partners for years to come. GROW Windham has a Resources webpage, which includes all educational materials from this project (ECCD's new webpage is under construction and will have a page on conservation in urban agriculture). When the ground thaws, permanent educational signs about conservation practices and structures in the new model community garden will be installed.

To all Trent students who have read the letter in Arthur addressing Newfangled (and recommending it be burned):
as a Christian and a Trent student, I would like to extend an apology. I am sorry that this was written in the name of Jesus Christ because it directly opposes His teachings. The title "God is Dead" is controversial and likely to spark strong reaction.
However, having actually read the articles myself, I can assure you that the goal of this publication was not to attack, but rather to start an open philosophical discussion. I am by no means offended by what was written, and if the author of the letter had actually opened the cover, perhaps they would feel the same.
But even if Newfangled's intention had been to offend, does that mean they should "leave and never come back"? I can only speak for myself (I don't have the audacity to claim, "I stand up in favor of the majority") when I answer no. No, I don't think that things I disagree with should be made to disappear. If you disagree with a publication, then you can write to the student newspaper and express your thoughts. You're free to say what you think. Let others do the same. Don't burn their work and try to suppress their voices.
Book burning has a long and dark history and it really saddens me to think of thoughts being silenced. That's the sort of censorious fundamentalism that is neither "progressive" nor "pluralistic." When someone is burning a book, they are showing utter contempt for all of the thinking that produced its ideas, all of the labor that went into its words and sentences and all of the trouble that befell the author. I encourage you not to burn Newfangled, but to pick up a copy and read it for yourself. Since I started this letter with Jesus, let me end with something He said: "a new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you".

Party of Regions lawmaker Taras Chornovil surmises that the incident with Victor Yanukovych in Ivano-Frankivsk in the year 2004 was thought out by the Party of Regions headquarters.
He said this to a news conference on Monday, Ukrayinska Pravda reported.
"That time I spoke about the information that I heard and saw at the scene. I still do not know all the details, but I think it was an infernal development by the headquarters, and my presence was also planned by them, considering the particularities of my character", T.Chornovil said.
"Unfortunately, they planned to gain votes at enmity and opposition. But I may be mistaken", he added.
As UNIAN reported earlier, Victor Yanukovych was taken to hospital after being hit by an egg during a visit to the west of Ukraine during the presidential campaign in 2004. Mr Yanukovych was one of the front-runners in the presidential election. The event set off recriminations between the Yanukovych camp and the opposition.

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. - It's a matter of when, not if, the Vancouver Canucks will trade Eddie Lack or Jacob Markstrom.
Canucks general manager Jim Benning said on Thursday that the two backup goalies are on the trading block ahead of the NHL draft with both of them in their primes and their contracts expiring. Although he expects there will be a flurry of trade activity during Friday's draft, he's willing to wait for the best available deal.
"We don't have to move either one of them. We have until the start of the year," said Benning, indicating he can wait until as late as September to make a deal. "If nothing makes sense for us, where we think we're not going to get good value for moving one of them, we don't have to move them.
"I don't think with all the interest we're getting in them that's going to be a problem."
At 27 years old, Lack has more time in the NHL, earning a 34-30 record for the Canucks in 82 games over the past two seasons. He has a .917 save percentage in that time with a 2.45 goals-against average. Most importantly, he becomes an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.
Markstrom is two years younger and has only played in 50 NHL games split over five seasons between the Florida Panthers and Vancouver. He has a career 13-28 record with a .896 save percentage and 3.08 GAA. With Lack and starting goaltender Ryan Miller solid in net for the Canucks last season, Markstrom spent most of his time with the American Hockey League's Utica Comets where he earned a 22-7 record with a .934 save percentage and 1.88 GAA. He'll become a restricted free agent this off-season.
Vancouver's depth at goal doesn't end there, with 2014 second-round pick Thatcher Demko progressing nicely at Boston College.
The only sure thing is who will start in net for the Canucks when the season kicks off.
"We want to keep Ryan Miller because we want to keep a veteran goalie," Benning said at a news conference in his hotel lobby. "I think a big part of our team last year was we had two good goalies. Ryan is a proven No. 1 goalie in the league so we want to keep Ryan and we have to make a hard decision on the other two guys."
Vancouver holds the 23rd overall pick on Friday, but Benning says he will not be drafting by need in the first round, instead simply taking the best available player.
"I think at the 23rd pick we're going to pick the player with the biggest upside," said Benning. "A player that we can work with, that we can develop into either a top-six forward or a top-four defenceman. There's enough depth that I think we'll be able to do that."
Vancouver's attention will turn back to the net on Saturday in the draft's middle rounds, presumably to backfill the space created by trading either Lack or Markstrom.
"In the mid-rounds, we like some goalies," said Benning. "We might pick a goalie in the mid-round but we're not going to pick a goalie high."
