Scosta 9\[ezvs SI nexus -publication of the Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Jiathead Indian 'Reservation Chief Charlo of the Salish VOLUME 17, NUMBER 30 THE TRAPPING MONTH Chief Koostatah of the Kootenai DECEMBER 15, 1988 A Char-Koosta News to change format e N 5 12 M 3 1 Beginning with the next issue, Char-Koosta News will change its format and its focus. The new paper will be printed in a "broad-sheet" style on 15 x 22 newsprint. The changes are being implemented by Frank Thomas of the Kalis-pell News. "We'll be a general interest newspaper to inform people — both on and off the Reservation — with news and features about this area," he says. "We'll continue to provide full coverage of Tribal and Cultural activities, but we'll add news from other sources." The editor of the paper will be Michael Umphrey. Umphrey grew up in St. Ignatius and has done freelance writing for the Mission Valley News, the Missoulian and the Fairfield Times, as well as for many magazines. He is the author of two books of poetry, The Lit Window and The Breaking Edge. For the last two years he has been teaching writing at the University of Montana. "I'd like this paper to help us understand one another," Umphrey says. "We intend to cover cultural and historical topics as well as political issues — aspects of life on this Reservation that have received little attention from the press in the past." The paper will strive for objective and balanced coverage. "Our job is journalistic, not political. I want to give people a chance to express their points of view, but the paper will avoid taking sides." Along with Umphrey, a new reporter will also be joining the staff. Shannon Burke also grew up in this area — in Arlee. She now lives in Pablo. Burke studied journalism at Haskell College and wrote for the Indian Leader in Lawrence, Kansas. Char-Koosta News will continue to welcome letters to the editor. All letters must be signed and the editorial staff reserves the right to edit them to fit available space. Brief letters (300 words) have the best chance of getting published. The new Char-Koosta News will be available by subscription and on newsstands. The Tribe will continue to provide subscriptions for all Tribal members. Non-members can subscribe for $ 14.00 per year in county, $ 16.00 per year in Montana, $22.00 per year out of state, and $40.00 for foreign subscriptions. Char-Koosta News will also accept advertising from those wishing to reach a Reservation-wide audience. Interested advertisers should contact Stephanie Jacobs, sales manager, at Char-Koosta Printing and Publishing's office in Pablo (675-3000). With only about 20 percent of the season's snowpack, the USD A Soil Conservation Service reports that snowstorms in the first week of December have increased the current snowpack to nearly double what it was at this time last year.

Kidani Village's Pembe Savanna Opens September 1 with New Animals and New Challenges
This debut marks the opening of the last phase of this Disney Vacation Club (DVC) resort. The final wing of Kidani Village will offer an additional 160 two-bedroom, savanna-view villas, plus windowed hallways to offer Guests clear views of the animals. Because of Pembe savanna's unique location, it will not connect to the main savanna at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, making it exclusive to Kidani Village Guests.
Animals that can be found in this new area may include okapi, yellow-backed duiker, Red River hogs, nyala, impala, waterbuck, spur-winged geese and blue crane.
According to Animal Curator Greg Peccie, creating this new savanna required contributions from many different teams – including Animal Programs, Horticulture, Operations and Walt Disney Imagineering – that worked together to design, build and launch this new area into operation.

Wow, 4.1 and 4.2 portions are close to done for Intel.
Phoronix: Intel Adds BPTC Texture Compression To Their Mesa Driver
Intel has introduced BPTC texture compression support to Mesa and specifically their Intel HD Graphics driver along with the Mesa software rasterizer...
Wow, 4.1 and 4.2 portions are close to done for Intel.
It's starting to look to me like Mesa 11 - when it is released - could or will contain all three OpenGL upgrades: 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 at once.
Save one or two features down the line, all are either a) done or b) in progress. The big question is GLSL for these three.
That chart makes me happy.
OSX is mostly on 4.2 as well, so any new high end OGL engine should be targeting it. Yea, some hardware doesn't support beyond the 3 series, but I don't think that market is large enough to justify not using the indirect binds everywhere.
As i see Dave just marked compute shader now as started (currently stalled)
That just as example of how that status can be wrong . If something is marked started that does not mean it will be finished very soon, no one knows that exactly . Just to not give people so much high hope, if i can predict... hm, i think one more year for implementation + one year for stabilization . that is for 4.2, and one more year for 4.4... so around 3 years is safe bet for all supported drivers to have OpenGL 4.4, just how now majority of chips have 3.3 implemented .
Last edited by dungeon; 07-22-2014 at 10:00 PM.
Could somebody make a spreadsheet of the GL3.txt file? Some parts confuse me, e.g.
GL 3.2 --- all DONE: i965, nv50, nvc0, r600, radeonsi
BGRA vertex order (GL_ARB_vertex_array_bgra) DONE (r300, swrast)
Doesn't that mean r300 and swrast haven't implemented it yet? And if so, why is it marked as "all DONE"? Unless, of course, those two CAN'T implement it. But I'm like, 99% sure swrast HAS implemented it so... confused (like I said).
A spreadsheet of the .txt file's list of GL features with a column for each MESA driver that can marked+colored as simple "DONE", "IN-PROGRESS", "NOT SUPPORTED", "NOT STARTED" etc I think would make it much easier to keep track of what's what, but that's just my two-cents

- "Toujours pur."
- —The family motto, translating to "Always Pure"[src]
The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black was one of the largest, oldest and wealthiest pure-blooded wizarding families in Britain, and one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. Many wizarding families in Britain are distantly related to the House of Black. Like the Malfoy and Lestrange families, the House of Black is synonymous with elevated status and wealth. The Black family tree is displayed in the drawing room of the family home at 12 Grimmauld Place in London, England on an intricate tapestry, as an ornate mural. It starts in the Middle Ages and shows the dominant line of the family up to the present day.[3]
By the late twentieth century, the House of Black had become extinct in the male line with the deaths of Sirius and Regulus Black, neither of whom had children. The female line continued through the Malfoy family and Teddy Lupin, though the latter descends from a Black who was disowned. It has not been confirmed that the Potter family is also distantly related to the Black family through Dorea Black; they are, however, related through Ginevra Weasley, who married Harry Potter and had three children.
- "...my parents, with their pure-blood mania, convinced that to be a Black made you practically royal..."
- —Sirius Black to Harry Potter on his family's values[src]
The Black family traces its origin back to the Middle Ages. They claim to have entirely magical ancestry, but as Sirius Black informed his godson Harry Potter, no true pure-blood families existed by the twentieth century. The pure-blood families like the Blacks simply removed Muggles and Squibs from their family trees. The Blacks place a great importance on blood purity, considering themselves akin to royalty in the wizarding world and disdaining Muggles, Squibs, Blood traitors and Muggle-borns. The family motto, which can be found on the family crest, is Toujours Pur, which means "Always Pure" in French. Many members took this phrase very seriously.[4]
Because of their views, a large number of the Black family members practise the Dark Arts and supported Lord Voldemort during the First and Second Wizarding Wars. A few Blacks even became Death Eaters, while many others never took the Dark Mark but believed in the "purification" of the wizarding world nevertheless.[4] A few members of the family, however, disagreed with the traditional views of their family; Sirius Black, for example, joined the Order of the Phoenix, as did Nymphadora Tonks, a distant member of the Black family. Both were murdered by Bellatrix Lestrange (née Black), Sirius's cousin and Tonks's aunt, in battle. Supportive of Voldemort at first, the family loyalists who did not become Death Eaters got cold feet when they saw the levels he would go to achieve his goals. Their hatred towards muggles is such that some members who are not outright Death Eaters would go to lengths to persecute them, such as Araminta Meliflua trying to pass a Ministry Bill to make Muggle-hunting legal.
With Sirius's death, the male line of the Black family ended; the female line continues through the descendants of his cousins Andromeda Tonks and Narcissa Malfoy, his second cousin, once removed, Arthur Weasley, the Burke family, the Crouches, the Longbottoms and the Potter family[5].
Harry is shocked to find Sirius is related to the Malfoys, but Sirius explains all pure blood families are interlinked somehow. Sirius is, in fact, related to Molly and Arthur Weasley.
Family tree
- "En stirps nobilis et gens antiquissima Black."
- —Latin inscription on the Black family tree tapestry; "Behold the offspring of noble birth and the nation of the most ancient of Black".[src]
"Blasted off"
- "Blood traitor, abomination, shame of my flesh! …Filth! Scum! By-products of dirt and vileness! How dare you befoul the house of my fathers!"
- —The portrait of Walburga Black screaming at her "traitor" son[src]
The original tree described from Grimmauld Place was subject to some magical interference. According to Sirius Black, his mother Walburga blasted names of "blood traitors" off the tapestry without hesitation.[4] The Black family motto of Toujours Pur ("always pure") was followed assiduously by family members; any who disagreed with the notion of blood purity or married Muggles or people of different blood statuses were disowned and blasted off the family tree, as were any Squibs. Thus, family members that remain on the tapestry can be assumed to have married fellow ("respectable") pure-bloods. Some even married their own cousins; Walburga and Orion Black, for instance, were second cousins. Generations of this practice resulted in inbreeding, which in turn has caused problems such as low fertility and mental instability.
The known disowned members are Eduardus Limette Black (for an unknown reason); Isla Black, for marrying Muggle Bob Hitchens; Phineas Black, for supporting Muggle rights; Marius Black, for being a Squib; Cedrella Black, for marrying blood traitor Septimus Weasley; Alphard Black, for giving gold to his runaway nephew Sirius; Sirius Black III, for running away from home; and Andromeda Black, for marrying Muggle-born Ted Tonks.

Also, muggle-born people are descendants of Squibs who are born into either a pure-blood family or a half-blood family (which is part pure-blood). Therefore, all wizarding families (and some Muggle ones) are related to the House of Black.
Black family tree
Physical appearances
The Blacks are commonly described as having "great good looks". They are considered to be beautiful people, being tall, thin and having attractive features. The traditional look for most of the Black family is black hair and dark eyes with some exceptions, such as Narcissa Malfoy née Black who has blonde hair and blue eyes, Andromeda Tonks née Black having light brown eyes and brown hair and Sirius Black III, with grey eyes. They possess a certain aristocratic elegance that reflects upon their personality, as they consider themselves "practically royal". Even after incarceration in Azkaban and escape, Bellatrix Lestrange née Black and Sirius were both described to have retained vestiges of these "great good looks", despite losing much of it in the depression of the prison.
The Black family, as with many other pure-blood wizarding families like the Malfoys and the Potter family, is considered to be very wealthy. This may be one of the reasons why the members of this family acted somewhat arrogantly.
In 1993, Sirius Black III used money from Vault 711 to pay for Harry Potter's Firebolt. This vault may have been property of the Blacks, since Sirius may have inherited this vault after his mother's death. However, he may have acquired it after being disowned, using the money given to him by his Uncle Alphard.
After Sirius died on 1996, his godson Harry Potter inherited all of Sirius Black's properties, including his house, his house-elf and his vault, which still contained "a reasonable amount of gold". Given its depth, it is likely a high-security vault.
Black can be considered a colour, and is the result of the absence of, or complete absorption of, light. In Western culture, the colour black has typically been associated with evil, darkness, and witchcraft, but also with prestige and sophistication — appropriate for the House of Black. Black has also been associated with life and prosperity by other cultures. In ancient China, black was the symbol of the element of water, which also corresponds to Slytherin, the Hogwarts house of almost all members of the Black family. In English heraldry, black represents darkness and ignorance; a possible allusion to the prejudice common to members of the House of Black.
However, the English word black is derived from either the Old English blœc, meaning "black", or blac, meaning "pale".[8] Pallor is associated with sickness and the colour white, which is usually held to symbolize purity in Western and Indian culture, and death in East Asian cultures. This mirrors the typical colouring of members of the House of Black — dark hair and pale skin[9].
Etymology of given names
Most Black family members are named after stars or constellations. For example, the star Sirius is in the constellation Canis Major (the Dog). What's more, Sirius Black, an Animagus, could morph at will into a black dog named Padfoot. Another example is Bellatrix, the third brightest star in the constellation Orion, which is also the name of Sirius's father and Bellatrix's uncle. Cygnus, Andromeda, and Cassiopeia are also constellations, and Regulus, Alphard and Arcturus are stars as well.
Some members of the extended family have also chosen to follow this naming pattern. For example, Narcissa Malfoy née Black named her son Draco, which is the name of a constellation. In turn, he named his son Scorpius, which is one of the constellations of the zodiac, known as Scorpio in Western astrology. Narcissa herself, however, was not named in keeping with this convention. She was instead named for a plant, the flower Narcissus. Lycoris Black is also named for a plant.
However if a member of the family is disowned and blasted off the Black family tree then the name is never used again in the following generations.
Family Name | Astronomical Origin | Status of Name |
Alphard Black | Alphard is the brightest star in the constellation Hydra. | Disused since Alphard was disowned for supporting his wayward nephew. |
Andromeda Tonks née Black | Andromeda is a constellation in the Northern Hemisphere and the name of a galaxy. | Disused since Andromeda married a Muggle-born. |
Arcturus Black I, II, III | Arcturus is the brightest star in the constellation Boötes the Herdsman. | |
Bellatrix Lestrange née Black | Bellatrix is a star in the constellation Orion. | |
Cassiopeia Black | Cassiopeia is a constellation in the Northern Hemisphere. | |
Cygnus Black I, II, III | Cygnus is a constellation in the Northern Hemisphere, also known as the Northern Cross. | |
Draco Malfoy | Draco is a constellation in the Northern Hemisphere. | |
Orion Black | Orion is a well-known constellation in the Northern Hemisphere. | |
Phoebe Black | Phoebe is perhaps associated with another name of the sun god Apollo, Phoebus. It is also the name of a moon of Saturn. | |
Pollux Black | Pollux is a star in the constellation Gemini. | |
Regulus Black I, II | Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation Leo. | |
Scorpius Malfoy | Scorpius is a constellation in the Southern Hemisphere. | |
Sirius Black I, II, III | Sirius is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major. | Disused since Sirius III was a blood-traitor. |
Behind the scenes
- A hand drawn copy of the most recent section of the family tree was donated to a charity auction for Book Aid by J. K. Rowling, in February 2006. The drawing was purchased on behalf of Daniel Radcliffe for £30,000.
- According to Sirius Black, if all of the pure-blood families stick with only pure-blood marriages, almost all of them will be relatives because there are only a few pure-blood families. Therefore Sirius relates to the Crabbe family, the Potter family, the Weasley family, the Malfoy family, the Crouch family, the Longbottom family, the Lestrange family, the Lupin family, the Gaunt family, the Riddle family, the Peverell family,the Bulstrode family and the Slytherin family.
- Walburga and Orion Black were second cousins, though they married, a common occurrence historically for aristocratic, wealthy families.
- Another version of the family tree tapestry appeared in the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film). When film makers told Rowling that they needed to "visualise Sirius Black's family tree", she faxed them the complete Black family tree, going back eight generations. On that tree the name Phineas is misspelt Phineus.[10]
- Many members of the House of Black have died at considerably younger ages than is normal for wizards and witches, and even muggles for that matter. Of those whose dates of birth and death are shown on the family tree, none lived to be older than one hundred, and most died between the ages of fifty and eighty, with an average life expectancy of only 59.5 years (based on the family tree), though this is possibly the result of major inbreeding (see above) as well as mental instability and war (As seen[3]).
- Many members of the family are said to have great good looks, with a touch of aristocratic arrogance to it.
- After Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the only pure-blood members who weren't dead or imprisoned are: Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Scorpius Malfoy, Astoria Greengrass, Andromeda Tonks, Arthur Weasley, Molly Weasley, Bill, Charlie, Percy, George, Ron and Ginny.
- The female lines continue through Narcissa (through her descendants with Lucius Malfoy), Andromeda (with Ted Tonks), Callidora (with Harfang Longbottom), Cedrella (with Septimus Weasley) and possibly Isla (with Bob Hitchens).
- It is also possible that the female Black line continues in Harry Potter, as he is possibly related to Charlus Potter and Dorea Black.
- Out of 36 members, most are descendants of Phineas Nigellus and Ursula Flint (25), 7 were of known generations preceding him and 3 were his siblings. The remaining 1 was Phineas himself.
- There is at least one disowned Black in each generation (except the generation consisting of Cygnus Black I, Arcturus Black I and Misapinoa Black.)
- All of the males that have been blasted off the family tree were not disowned due to marriage (except for possibly Eduardus Limette Black, who was blasted off for an unknown reason). Phineas was disowned for supporting Muggle rights, Marius was disowned for being a Squib, Alphard for leaving gold to his disowned nephew, and Sirius for running away from his home and not believing in the importance of blood-purity. The three females to have been disowned after marriage are Andromeda, Cedrella and Isla Black (all for marriage to a Muggle-born, a blood traitor, and a Muggle, respectively) .
- It is possible James Potter was not the son of Dorea Black, as he married Muggle-born Lily Evans and would possibly have been disowned for that. At the same time, Walburga Black was growing old at the time, and it is possible she overlooked the marriage (as it was around the same time her son, Regulus Black, both disappeared and died).
- It is possible that some of the disowned male members of the family have male-line descendants that are not recognised by the greater Black family due to their ancestors' actions. Hence, the Black family may still be extant through the existence of unrecognised branches.
- Though many members of the Black family were supporters of either Voldemort directly or his principles of blood purity, the family did not become related to him (as far as we know; if James Potter was in fact the son of Dorea Black and Charlus Potter, they would have been linked before) until the marriage of Ginny Weasley, a member of the Weasley family and the House of Black, and Harry Potter, who is related to Voldemort through the Peverell brothers, distant ancestors of the both of them.
Notes and references
- ↑ Squibs and members who married non-purebloods were disowned, and they and their descendants were not considered part of the family
- ↑ Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Chapter 37 (The Lost Prophecy): "Am I to understand," said Phineas Nigellus slowly from Harry's left, "that my great-great-grandson — the last of the Blacks — is dead?"

- ↑ 4.0 4.1 4.2 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

- ↑ Although it has never been confirmed that Septimus and Cedrella are Arthur's parents, this can be inferred based on Sirius Black's statement in Ch. 6 of Order of the Phoenix that Arthur was "something like [his] second cousin once removed." The Black family tree establishes Cedrella as a first cousin once removed of both Orion and Walburga Black, Sirius's parents. Thus, any children she had would be their second cousins, and second cousins once removed of their sons Sirius and Regulus. Also, almost all of Sirius's relatives can be seen on the Black family tree because both his parents were born into the House of Black, making it unlikely that he could be related to Arthur in a way not shown. See also this talk page and an HPL essay for more information.
- ↑ 7.0 7.1 7.2 Sirius Black stated in Ch. 6 of Order of the Phoenix that Molly Weasley was his "cousin by marriage". This means that Ignatius Prewett, Lucretia's husband, could not have been Molly, Fabian, and Gideon's father, as this would have made them first cousins by blood of Sirius. Ignatius was Sirius's uncle by marriage, and if Molly was his niece, this could explain Sirius's comment. See this talk page for more information.

The published agenda for the most recent Charleston County Joint Legislative Delegation meeting said very little. And in saying so little, it spoke volumes about why lawmakers need to commit to strengthening the states Freedom of Information Act, in practice as well as by law.
The most informative thing about the agenda was the heading which gave the address and time of the meeting.
As for business to be handled, heres what the public was told:
There will be a prayer.
North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey will make a presentation on something.
Unnamed committees will report on unnamed subjects.
The public will be allowed to speak (about items that they didnt know were to be discussed?).
Old and new business would be discussed.
The delegation chairman, Rep. Chip Limehouse, R-Charleston, will say when the next meeting will be held.
The meeting will be adjourned.
Anyone interested in the publics business would have no idea whether the delegation meeting was worth attending.
Unfortunately, such minimal advance information about the agendas for public meetings is the rule, not the exception. And some suggest that is precisely the point.
In the case of the legislative delegation, it is evidence that the lawmakers consider the Freedom of Information Act a nuisance rather than a guide for keeping the public informed.
They are able to do the publics business without being annoyed by public questions and comments.
And when they consider the FOIA, it is only to do the minimum it requires.
So it comes as good news that Rep. Bill Taylor, R-Aiken, is again pushing for legislation that would put needed teeth in the states Freedom of Information law. Revisions would prevent public agencies, governments and school districts from charging excessive fees for information they provide as a result of FOI requests. And the law would require them to respond more quickly to such requests.
Last year, Taylor made a similar effort that also said public entities must post online or have available documents handed out in public meetings during the previous six months. His bill sailed through the House, but stalled in the Senate over a controversial amendment making legislators memos and correspondence subject to FOI requests.
Thats worth discussion, but should be dealt with separately, so as not to threaten Taylors bill.
It would be reassuring if all public agencies and officials readily and willingly provided public information in a timely, affordable fashion.
But that isnt the case.
Taylors reform measure might not change the minds and hearts of public officials, but it would make it easier for the public to get information it has the right to know.
As for the local delegation, it can start doing a better job of keeping the public informed by providing more than the most perfunctory list of items they plan to consider when they publish their agendas.

I'm trying to help a friend in his elections campaign. We mainly need a tool to manage a list of possible voters. We need to be able to:
Easily update details about the voters, and
Query for voters according to various parameters, and show and print the resulting lists
To enable campaigners to work from multiple workstations, we would like the system to be distributed, probably web based.
We would also like that to be in Hebrew, if possible.
Is there any existing tool that easily enables it? If not, can you recommend on an easy way to implement such a tool?
(I have a solid programming knowledge, but not much time to devote to that)
Edit: Any bug-tracking tool (like Bugzilla) would be suitable to the task as it also basically managed one shared database table (bugs). All I need is the ability to change the field of that table, so it will show voters instead of bugs. Do you have any idea?

Meeting Notes 2011 05 03
Contents |
The 159th Meeting of Noisebridge
Note-taker: Seth
Moderator: Rachel M
Introduction and Names
- What Noisebridge is about: "Noisebridge is a 501c3 nonprofit that provides a space for creation, collaboration, and learning about technology and creative projects. Noisebridge provides space, power tools, and infrastructure to help the public learn new skills and create cool things. Noisebridge continues to exist through and depends entirely on membership fees and donations. Our code of conduct is 'Be excellent to each other'."
- Round of introductions: What's your name, what do you do, and if you are new, how did you hear about Noisebridge? Start with the moderator and go left.
- A brief primer on consensus process: We agree and so should you! Only paid-up members can block consensus.
We have t-shirts and stickers! (Lots of them!)
Q. What are we going to do with them at Maker Faire?
A. Let's take all of them to the Faire and see if we can get rid of all of them there! The world of geekdom will descend upon Maker Faire before, during, and after the Faire.
Financial Report
Funds in bank: $13,871.86. This is a little bit low but it's the beginning of the month and we just paid rent, so it's not too bad.
Generally we now have $10,000 in the savings account and use about $5,000 as operating expenses, but we had to dip into the savings account to deal with the purchases of t-shirts and stickers. But we were able to restore that quickly.
Q. Can we invest money in a CD?
A. Actually, the t-shirts and stickers are a much better investment for Noisebridge right now. Interest rates are low but we get good returns in practice from shirts and stickers.
Jared deposited $236 from the vending machine. Thanks!
Samsung is now manufacturing a Sidekick 4G running Android with a super great keyboard. Noisebridge isn't going to get one but the treasurer likes them a whole lot.
Membership Binder
- Read off any names from the binder for the past month.
- Anyone up for join this week should introduce themselves then leave the area in search of gifts (traditionally beer and a lime) for the rest of the group. The rest of the meeting should consense on whether they may join.
What's Going On at Noisebridge
One short sentence about each of the following:
This is the active list of events from the main page:
Not all events make it onto this calendar. Many events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements mailing lists, IRC or in person at Tuesday meetings. Best of all, Noisebridge is about people getting together at the space in San Francisco to do stuff. DO pay attention, as some events just arise organically from the bottom up!
Want to host your event at Noisebridge? We like seeing classes and talks on interesting things pertaining to various subjects of hacking. Most of all, we like seeing familiar faces. Please participate in the space and our weekly Tuesday meetings to see if we're the right audience for what you want to share before announcing a new event. Additionally, please see our events hosting page for suggestions on how to use Noisebridge for your event/class/workshop.

A few months ago, Hadar Pitchon, a friend of mine on Facebook and a regular reader of Advanced Style, sent me some wonderful photos and videos that he had taken of his Nona. Their special bond reminded me of the relationship I had with my grandmothers. In my eyes Bluma and Helen were the biggest stars that ever lived. They were the most glamorous models and the wisest of sages. I asked Hadar to write a few words about his Nona and why she is so inspirational to him. Check out his incredible photos above and more about Hadar and Nona's special bond below:
When asking my grandma about her personal style, I hear her say through her greek accent I love long beautiful dresses. But for her everything seems to have a price tag attached, perhaps it's coming from nothing now she treasures having things of value. When I was growing up around her she loved playing dress up, wigs, lipstick, grab the guitar, songs and dance. I have always had an utmost respect for where she comes from and I am impressed with how she presents herself everyday. I feel she came from a time where you never left the house unless you looked presentable. When her and my grandfather were married they were so poor she had to hand the wedding dress to the next person in line after. Yet through all this and raising 4 boys, being a holocaust survivor, breast cancer survivor and survivor of living with me, she kept her amazing style. She possesses an amazing character and wit, her nails are always painted with a signature bright red to match her lips. Her dresses usually have sequins or something over the top to them. Recently when I was home I decided to showcase the beauty that is my grandma, she is a muse and a constant reminder of how lucky I am to have someone like that in my life. I decided she would be the supermodel of the year and her face would be in all the latest ads and on a cover of magazine. After all she never ceases to amaze me and my greatest pride is getting to share her with the world. (Hadar Pitchon)

Guatemala Fraijanes-Finca Agua Tibia
In contrast to the Nicaragua Limoncillo from last week, this week's coffee was roasted to Full City to allow the roast flavors to become more prevalent. When we cupped the test roasts the lightest had some pungency and spiciness, not bad at all, however, we decided to go with the Full City sample as a guide since it brought a nice balance to the overall cup. We've been sticking with a similar profile in recent weeks which entails starting each batch at medium-low heat level and then incrementally raising the heat until the coffee nears first crack around 380 degrees and ten minutes into each roast. Then we lower the heat as low as possible without stalling the roast to extend the time the beans spend going through second crack and developing towards the end of the roast. For this particular coffee the final drop temperature was 440 degrees and the roasts averaged 16 minutes.

A pack of motorcyclists approach an SUV in Manhattan on Sept. 29 before smashing in the window. / VPC
NEW YORK - The New York City Police Department is investigating an incident in which a parade of motorcycles chased a motorist, his wife and 2-year-old daughter after their Range Rover SUV bumped into one of the motorcyclists on Sunday.
A video that was posted to YouTube shows motorcyclists banging in the windows of the SUV on the driver's side and in the backseat area where the child sat. The video has gone viral and had attracted more than 1.2 million views as of Monday night.
Police on Tuesday arrested the biker who was involved in the initial accident. Christopher Cruz, 28, was charged with reckless endangerment, reckless driving, endangering the welfare of a child and menacing. He was not injured in the accident.
Police believe some of the bikers belong to a gang known as Hollywood Stuntz. They said the motorcyclists were part of a planned but unauthorized event in which hundreds of riders gathered outside of Manhattan, with the intent of driving into Times Square en masse.
The incident began to unfold somewhere around 116th Street and the West Side Highway, Lt. John Grimpel said.
When the driver bumped one of the cyclists and drove off, the motorcyclists gave chase and surrounded him.
In the tape, the driver, 33-year-old Alexian Lien of Manhattan, is seen bumping into a number of motorcyclists and bikes and speeding off. Police said one biker suffered two broken legs after the SUV ran over him. A second biker suffered a leg injury.
Further north, the driver is stopped and one of the motorcyclists gets off his bike and approaches the SUV, which speeds off. Later, at a red light, two bikers run over to the SUV and beat in the windows, the tape shows.
The driver was treated at New York Presbyterian Hospital for lacerations to his back and face. His wife and child were not injured, Grimpel said.
It is believed that the person who shot the video, known on YouTube as MichelinMan900, is one of the motorcyclists from the group. MichelinMan900 did not respond to an e-mail sent via YouTube.

Chloride Ghost Town in Arizona
If you are on the side of a little "mature" you might remember Matt Dillon and Chester clunking across the wooden sidewalks of Dodge. Today, some of those towns of the wild west are considered ghost towns.
Take yourself back to those days and go �Ghost-towning� it can be a very unique, fun and rewarding activity. There is a lot of great history awaiting you in the old west. However, what I found to be interesting is, almost every state in the U.S. and many areas of Canada have ghost towns of some sort.
Anyone can ghost town at a comfortable pace. The activity level can range from hobbyist to researching and locating, driving past a town or walking the area taking pictures, to the sport of four wheeling it up a mountainside and hiking the rest of the way.
<> >So what is a ghost town you may ask? In some cases it is just about what you might be picturing--tumbling tumbleweed, desert sand swirling around as the wind howls like a coyote, crumbling buildings, the general store sign hanging by one nail and the saloon doors falling off and swinging in the hot breeze.
<> >Well�that is one kind. Others range from just a few piles of stones to a town that has shopping. Basically, a ghost town is a town with a past. People lived in it at one time or it might currently be inhabited by just a few residents. Many were mining towns that flourished in the 1800�s. Surprisingly, these ghastly towns are found in most states or provinces in the United States or Canada.
<> >In Yermo, California "ghostowners" will find, the Calico Ghost Town. It was purchased and renovated by Walter Knott of Knott�s Berry Farm and later donated to the county of San Bernardino. Calico was a booming silver mining town in the late 1800�s and early 1900�s. Now visitors can ride the small-gauged train, tour the silver mine, be mystified by the mystery shack, pan for gold or shop and eat. There are campsites available.
About 72 miles from Las Vegas, south of the Hoover Dam, adventurers will find Chloride, Arizona founded in 1862. Here there are a few homes and a store where you might find an interesting souvenir. The town is best known for the colorful murals of Roy Purcell. It is a bit of a hike to see rocks of color in the hills of the town. Hikers come from far away to see the works.
<> >South of Las Vegas, Nevada "ghosttowners" will find Nelson--a few buildings remain and no gas stations so fill up before you go. Even if you stop at the little store with the Texaco sign there is no gas there, (guess who found out the hard way). You can however, get the information you need from Tony or Bobbie Werly. There are beverages, snacks and immaculate restrooms available all coming with a great history lesson including pictures and a collection of items from the movie �3,000 miles to Graceland�, which was filmed in the area. They offer a great mine tour. Continuing down the road a piece till it ends you will see the most beautiful view of the Colorado River, it is a must see.
If you are into seeing the old west and want a good meal, do a little shopping and much more visit Oatman, Arizona. The town is known for the wild burros that come down each day at lunch time to wrangle a carrot or two from a visitors. The shops sell the veggies for that purpose.
U.S. has ghost towns can range from a pile of rocks to an entire abandoned town or to one like Calico or Oatman with shops and restaurants.
<> >There are websites available for �ghostowners; such as
or type in ghost towns USA and it takes you to another site and there are many more. Libraries would be another source of the history of the forgotten towns.
�Ghosttowning� is inexpensive and can be as simple or as involved as you want to make it.
So saddle up your RV, leave on a jet plane or pack a picnic and go �ghosttowning�.

Knotty Boy Dread Wax
FrankoVenturaHairBlackCurly HairJust What I Was Looking ForI've had twists for years, and have used beauty supply store products to maintain them. They were ok, but Knotty Boy wax has so much hold and has no petroleum in it and it lasts forever. One jar lasts me a few months.posted Mar 10, 2013Link to this post
Angie S.Boca RatonHairBlackCurly HairSuper Strong Hold, Moisturizing. Love It.My hair is really curly and gets very brittle at times. I tried this wax because I was told by a friend that it would help moisturize my locs while keeping them tidy. It totally works. Love it :)posted Sep 18, 2012Link to this post
AllainMississippiGreat For Afro HairI'm black and have really curly hair. I've tried many different twist gels in the past - but none have the holding power of Knotty Boy. It is more expensive than the others, and you can't find it in a beauty supply store, but I think it is worth it - and it last forever.posted Aug 29, 2012Link to this post
JustinHairBlackCurly HairThick or Coarse HairBest Product I Have Used.Im an Afro American. I have thick nappy hair but I was never able to keep my hair neatly twisted because I sweat a lot during my runs and workouts. I have used mostly every product. Mango and lime Gel and there waxes. Carols Daughter's Loc Butter. Tigh N Hold gel and other common gels. When I came upon this I immediately notice the high price. I opened it and realized how dense the was was. I was shocked and knew this is what I needed. The thing that separates this was from the rest is not what it is made out of... But what it left out. PETROLEUM!!!! This is the best for any type of hair. Amenposted Aug 9, 2012Link to this post
RamshaHairBlackFine or Thin HairNo Effect At All!!!Please don't waste your money on this, it has the same effect as a normal hair gel.posted Nov 7, 2010Link to this post
EliseVirginiaThe BestKnottyboy is just about the best thing you can do for your dreads-period. If used correctly- that is waxing at least two times a week for the first few months or so and NEVER, EVER, EVERRRRR waxing hair before it is completely DRY (because -OBVIOUSLY- doing so will lock in moisture, creating a nasty sponge like mildewy environment all ova' yo' head)- this stuff will make real dreads real fast. The only down side? Obviously your hair is gonna be kinda sticky and waxy for a while- but when it comes right down to it, the speed, cleanliness, and overall neatness that this wax facilitates is well worth the slight discomfort(assuming sticky hair bothers you in the first place). Helpful tip- blow dry your dreads just after you wax 'em- this will melt the wax into the dread, where it really does it's job, and they won't feel quite so sticky for quite as long between waxes.posted Jan 20, 2010Link to this post
PamChattanooga, TN+ And -I used this on my son. It worked but the dreads wouldn't dry and rotted, even though he only washed his scalp (oily) I say if you can make dreads w/o wax, that's the better alternative. If not, knotty boy is ok short term.posted Oct 20, 2009Link to this post
Jake DJacksonville, FLBest Dreadwax, These Guys Are The OriginalI have had dreads twice, and use Knotty Boy wax both times. Not only is this product all natural, but it works really well. Id recommend it to anyone.posted May 29, 2009Link to this post
CassandraMinnesotaDo Not Use Wax!I had very long hair, okay, decided to dread it. I bought this wax for my dreads and it completely destroyed my dreads. I could not wash the wax out, and it weighted down my hair and made it look and feel nasty. Really if your serious about your dreads you will do it the natural way, back combing and rubbing between your two hands. Rubbing, rubbing and more and more rubbing. There are no quick fixes to healthy neat dreads.posted Mar 17, 2009Link to this post
JackCaliforniaBest Wax AvailableThis wax is the original, and clearly the best. I have been looking for something completely natural for my dreads for years. All other waxes have Petroleum Jelly or other crap like that in them. I would recommend this stuff for sure.posted Aug 11, 2008Link to this post
