Hey this is a game of bullet where i got lucky and snagged a game from NM Chessnetwork. Every other game we've played together he has beaten me. Thought i'd post the game because few people here have beaten the guy. For the record, i am not claiming to be better than him, he is a stronger than me. But sometimes we can get lucky. Hope you enjoy :) And dont forget, this is bullet.
We were also both in time pressure
no analysis ? still a good game

Sal and After Hours were referred to us through our reception venue and a friend who also used their services at their own wedding. Sal was easy to work with from day one, making it clear that our day would run as smoothly as possible and the exact way that we wanted it. Thanks... Read More to Sal's expertise, he gave very insightful tips and opinions on the order and layout of a smooth reception that really helped us make some decisions with our wedding planning. With both sides of the family being large and European, Sal integrated Portuguese and Polish music into our wedding very smoothly. It was evident that everyone at the wedding had a great time! I also didn't realize how involved a DJ would be at a wedding, but Sal helped move the whole night along flawlessly. He also took pictures and videos of events throughout the night including the bride and groom's first dance, father/daughter and mother/son dance, and toasts! Thank you to everyone at After Hours for being a part of our wedding and helping to make it the best night of our lives!
Mike Moscato was our DJ and I cannot say enough great things about him! He was so easy to work with and very responsive whether it was calls/emails/texts! 2 weeks after our wedding and people are still raving about how great the DJ was! Also, at the end of the night, Mike... Read More slapped a bracelet on my wrist... yes, you know you remember those snap bracelets from back in the day... which contained a flashdrive of all our special songs as well as photos that were taken throughout the day! Talk about above and beyond!! Great Job After Hours!! Would recommend to anyone!!!
My husband and I tied the knot on June 25, 2016 at The Riverview in Simsbury. We were lucky to have Sean Crawford as our DJ and he brought along with him an assistant, Norm Blanchard. The two were wonderful! They had everything set up and ready to go. Prior to the wedding we... Read More had several FaceTime calls with Sean who was very accommodating. With our busy schedules we weren't able to meet in person but we were able to video chat all of our planning. He was also available through texting which made it very easy to plan and get answers quickly. Sean was a great emcee, and even hosted The Shoe Game for us after dinner was served. He also played all of our favorites from a list we gave him for dinner music and dancing music. He also gathered the wedding party together before we were announced and explained how he would announce everyone and where they should go. He also spoke with both people who were making speeches prior to the announcements so they knew exactly when to go and what to do with the mic. Thank you so much After Hours DJ!
We decided to go with After Hours DJ. My husband really wanted a bigger wedding celebration and I couldn't have cared less about who our DJ was. I have to say though, that in the end I was surprisingly very pleased with how the ceremony and reception went. Our DJ, JR Burrows was... Read More so kind and made the event fun for everyone. He left all the details up to us, but when we were stuck on choices he was more than helpful. I felt as though he made our wedding as important to him as if it was his own. He was very approachable and easy to work with. His attitude was great and I even said to my husband that we really couldnt have had it any better as far as a DJ went. Even our guests went out of the way to compliment how good the DJ was. He made a nervous and anxious bride feel relaxed. He's just very kind and good at what he does and I would highly recommend JR from After Hours DJ!
After Hours DJ was great throughout the whole process. They were very responsive to my emails and answered any questions I had within 24 hours. They coordinated with my other vendors so everything went very smoothly the day of the wedding. They got everyone up and dancing.... Read More The wedding was great!
J.R. and Chelsea did a fabulous job in providing DJ services for our wedding! They delivered a great playlist and help manage our wedding without any issues. Our friends are still talking about how much fun they hard at our event 4 weeks later! I would highly recommend this DJ... Read More team!
We were so fortunate to find Sal Fusco and Jordan Cassidy from After Hours DJ to entertain for our recent wedding at Maneeleys. They went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was everything we wanted it to be and more. I am a musician and can be picky when it comes to... Read More anything music related, but their professionalism, organization, and knowledge is unparalleled to any DJ i have seen at any event. When you hire this group, your don't just get a run of the mill DJ. They start by sitting down with you on multiple occasions and help you organize and understand how the event will run and will provide you with some great recommendations to get the most out of the ceremony and reception. Sal had years of experience and knew exactly what he was doing. They coordinate with other vendors so that everyone is on the same page and your event will run smoothly. Our ceremony was perfect. Sal put a wireless lapel microphone on the groom so that every word was heard and the audience could hear everything clearly. Throughout the entire process any requests that we had were taken and provided. They are extremely accommodating. There equipment is top of the line and sounded amazing through the whole night. Sal was a wonderful MC and guided us through the evening giving us soft reminders of what was coming up next (Best Man/Maid of Honor Speeches, Cake Cutting, Last Ballad of the night, etc) and made sure that we could enjoy each moment of our special day. The night was over before we could blink but I really felt that Sal and Jordan helped us make some amazing memories. When it came time for dancing they know how to work the floor. They had everyone at our reception dancing in no time and had the room rocking all night.. My friends and family have been talking about the dancing since the night ended. Their music choices were excellent and everyone had fun. When the night came to an end, Sal approached my bride and provided her with a flash drive filled with photos and videos he had taken through the evening, as well as a copy of all the songs we had used for our ceremony and during the reception. This service was so much more than we expected from our DJ and made us so happy. If you are in search for a great DJ, please look no further. After Hours is by far the top service in the area as shown by their multiple awards and great history of reviews. You aren't just getting a DJ but an event coordinator with years of experience, and someone who wants to make your event spectacular. Thanks Sal and Jordan for helping us make some lasting memories. We wont forget all that you have done for us!
Thanks to Sal Fusco and the team for doing an amazing job at our wedding. Sal was super responsive and cared for our every need! He was wonderful, and I highly recommend! Thank you for a great day!
Sal and his entire crew at After Hours helped us create a musically AMAZING wedding day! Throughout the planning process, Sal quickly responded to e-mails and was very thorough in tending to details. They played all of the music we hoped to hear, and even other great songs that... Read More fit in perfectly! The music was flawlessly executed and the flash drive of pictures/videos immediately following the reception was an amazing bonus. Also, I highly recommend their photo montage- we had a small projector near the bar and it was a hit. After Hours is your way to go for music if you are looking for fun and perfection at your wedding day!!
We contracted JR Burrows as our wedding DJ and couldn't be more pleased! From our planning meetings (where we got along well enough to constantly find ourselves in awesome tangental conversation) to his help in making special announcements during the event (we didn't have a... Read More standard reception), we found him to be extremely professional and accommodating. Our guests kept commenting to us that his selection of music was perfect and the dance floor stayed consistently busy. They also provided us a great selection of candid photos of the reception tent and guests having a good time. We highly recommend JR and his team, and suggest you book them for your upcoming wedding right away!
Jim and his brother were awesome at our wedding! They did everything we wanted and kept us informed when people made requests, or when we had to cut the cake, do the anniversary dance, etc. Even when we first met Jim he listened to our suggestions and offered his own with a kind... Read More open mind. Sal was helpful in getting us our Gobo projection and did a demo. We wish we knew other local couples who were getting married so we could tell them to go with After Hours.
Absolutely amazing! We had Sal and Sabrina for our wedding at Saint Clements Castle and they know how to party!! Sal was awesome to work with through the entire process, had great advice, and was even able to make last minute changes on the wedding day. They knew exactly how... Read More to get the crowd going and the wedding ran so smoothly. They ran the show so well, we didn't worry about a single thing the entire night. They were even able to get my almost 80 year old grandparents jamming out on the dance floor! Not only were they amazing at entertaining, but they took awesome pictures and videos and gave us a USB of them that same night! All of my guests have commented on how they cannot get over how much fun they had. If you want your guests (and yourselves) to have an absolute blast at your wedding, After Hours is the way to go. Sal and Sabrina, thank you so much for making our wedding one that people can't stop talking about!! Sincerely - Morgan
Mike Moscato was a fantastic DJ! He made our wedding day perfect. No one was even thinking about the horrible weather outside, because Mike had the Partying going on the dance floor even before the dance floor "officially" opened! Before our wedding Mike met with us, got to know... Read More our taste in music and helped put a plan together for our event. He was also available via phone or text and was very patient with us selecting music even down to the day before the wedding! People never stopped dancing that night and haven't stopped talking about how much fun they had...so thank you to Mike and After Hours for helping to make our wedding day so memorable!
It was amazing to work with Sal from After Hours for our wedding! He knows EVERYTHING about putting together an awesome wedding reception and gave us helpful suggestions for music and advice on which parts of the reception to include and when. His expertise made our reception... Read More perfect and he even got ALL of our guests (even the most reluctant dancers) on the dance floor for the most amazing conga line ever! Thank you Sal, for the fun and the memories!
Sean was so awesome and very easy to work with. He made the night perfect and I didn't have to worry about a thing! Great personality and creativity. Will always recommend him and after hours to anyone interested
Absolutely fabulous service! Sal Fusco and Sabrina Cody were our Djs for our wedding reception, and they did an amazing job. We met with Sal first, and his jovial nature and helpful attitude soon turned what started as an errand into a truly fun and relaxed experience. Showing... Read More great flexibility and knowledge, Sal was able to help us with our song selections, as well as find the specific songs we requested. Furthermore, he gave us excellent information about how things would happen on the day itself, giving us ample time to consider our options and make final decisions. On the day itself, everything went as it should: Perfectly. Sal and Sabrina worked very well with the other vendors, seamlessly working in all of the different dances and speeches into one cohesive evening. Both Sal and Sabrina also made the BRIDE and GROOM'S wishes the priority of the evening, using their own discretion when it came to requested songs in order to fit the feel of the evening (no chicken dance for us, thanks!). The options that they give you when planning out your special evening show their expertise in this area. They had a "kissing couples" option, to be instituted if there were too many glass-clinkers (or in our case one very persistent one!). Instead of only the bride and groom kissing, Sal has a premade list of couples attending the evening, to be called at "random" (Bride and Groom get to pick who's on the list), making the event more inclusive, unique and fun! One final point about how great our experience with Sal and Sabrina was: We were not keen on paying for videography service, as that can be quite expensive, but we had prepared a choreographed first dance. Upon hearing our conundrum, Sal said "no problem!" as an included option in your DJ package, you can get limited videography service to be sure you capture that special dance, speech or moment in your evening. We cannot recommend this DJ service, or these Djs, highly enough. Thank you for our special night!
JR Burrows was our Wedding Officiate and DJ and we could not have asked for a better partner. He went above and beyond the requested services. JR was like a wedding planner, he worked well with our venue consultant and gave us great ideas on how to make our wedding uniquely... Read More ours. He even helped us to avoid a wine uncorking crisis! I have already had JR as a DJ for a corporate event and will continue to use and recommend After Hours DJ Entertainment in the future
We are THRILLED that we chose After Hours DJ Entertainment for our wedding in August! Sean and Norm did an absolutely amazing job! Sean video-chatted with us a few times before the wedding day. He sent us forms to fill out beforehand which made the planning a breeze. Sean was... Read More incredibly organized and was in control of all of the wedding party introductions and timing of the cake cutting, etc. He was like an MC and wedding planner combined! Sean and Norm played all the music we requested and totally got the vibe we were looking for during cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception. We danced all night long and had more fun than we EVER imagined! We have had so many guests tell us that they are the best DJ's they've ever heard at a wedding. We can't recommend them enough!
Plain and simple. The price isn't hidden, the service is amazing, and our DJ, Peter Devine, was the greatest person to work with. His knowledge and passion for music is unmatched by anyone else we met with before the wedding. I would highly recommend anyone to seek out After... Read More Hours for your wedding DJ needs. Thanks again for a wonderful wedding experience Peter!
Locas WeddingReviewed on 12/01/2015 Liz M
Dj Sal and Dj Sabrina were absolutely amazing! So easy to work with. They made sure everything was covered.
My wife Katie and I had the pleasure of working with Pete Devine from After Hours DJ. Pete was AWESOME we met with him 3 times before our wedding and he made it clear from day 1 that our wedding would be just the way we wanted it. Pete made sure everything went smoothly and his... Read More playlist from the first song to the last was PERFECT. I cannot say enough about all that Pete did for us. I strongly recommend Pete for any event.
Peter was absolutely awesome. From the day we met with him he made us feel very at ease with the whole process. Working with him was one of the first decisions we made and definitely one of the best. It set the stage for us to have an amazing wedding, and it was great to... Read More have that peace of mind knowing that this was one less major thing we had to worry about. We were really nitpicky and detailed during the whole process but Peter was right there with us and made sure to get everything exactly how we wanted it. Leading up to our wedding day we knew Peter was going to deliver, and he came through for us in a huge way. We couldn't recommend him any more highly!
My wife and I chose Sal and Sabrina from After Hours DJ Entertainment for our formal fall evening wedding last weekend and it was hands down the BEST choice we made for our big day through two years of planning! From the very start, Sal made us feel at ease and was so helpful to... Read More two brides who didn't know the first thing about planning a wedding. One of the first things we told Sal was that we were looking for a DJ who would be able to get the crowd up on the dance floor - we were so worried that our families would spend the night in their seats! The night of our wedding we were sitting down and thought that a large number of our guests must have left early because no one was at the tables - we looked back to the dance floor and the truth was they had all got up to dance! All of our family and friends over the last few days have told us that ours was the best wedding they've ever been to - and in the same breath they sing the praises of Sal and his team. Sabrina even worked magic to successfully pin my bustle - which had come undone twice earlier in the night and kept falling out. Sal handled every last detail, and even made sure our other vendors got a final copy of the day-of timeline. We cannot recommend After Hours DJ Entertainment highly enough - they make us wish we had another wedding to plan just to keep working with them!
We used After Hours for our wedding this Fall. From the second we met Sal, we knew that he was incredibly experienced and we could trust them with our party! We were able to draw on his suggestions and experience in order to make the right choices to capture both our... Read More personalities and our desired style for the evening. After Hours an incredible job both before and during the wedding. We were able to set up most of our itinerary online, and Sal gave us great advice on how to keep the wedding moving and the energy high. He sent all of our vendors a timeline for the night so everyone knew where to be. The attention to detail was absolutely incredible and took the stress out of our planning. The day of the wedding, Sal and Jordan kept our dance floor moving all night, and played a nice mix of songs we'd requested and similar styles of music that got our guests moving. Sal was a great MC and is just all around a great guy in general! Jordan was super sweet and is also fantastic! We got a lot of compliments on how fun the night was from our guests, so all around a big success. I will say, the most incredible thing that After Hours provides is the memory stick at the end of the night with photos and videos. While planning this little service was an after thought. However, now that the wedding is over, I am so happy that I can look at the photos and watch the toasts and first dance as many times as I'd like. We would give Sal, Jordan and the rest of After Hours a 10 star rating if we could. They really took the time and effort to make our day extraordinary.
Do yourself a favor and save some time. Just hire After Hours and request Jim Casso. I just got married on 10/10/15 and my wedding and reception were beyond extraordinary. The level of warmth and professionalism that my husband and I were presented with, from day 1 of hiring... Read More After Hours, was outstanding. Jim helped us organize our reception in such a way that we felt so incredibly prepared, and that's not something most bride and grooms will say. Jim was fantastic on the mic and kept the evening flowing so smoothly that my husband and I were really able to enjoy ourselves. My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Jim and our experience with After Hours. We are incredibly appreciative and grateful that we very clearly made the best choice out there. Thanks again Jim. We're big fans! Wooooooo!!!! Liz & Sean

Hot New Female Rapper From Harlem Likes Girls Too
Fast rapper Azealia Banks is just starting to get big on the other side of the ocean over in Britain. However, she's not like all other new female rappers. She just reported to New York Times that she likes both boys and girls, but doesn't want the label to define her.
Ms. Banks considers herself bisexual, but, she said: "I'm not trying to be, like, the bisexual, lesbian rapper. I don't live on other people's terms."
Azealia also goes by the other names Krystal Pepsy and Miss Bank$. She has just recently recorded a song with Scissor Sisters called "Shady Love". Who could not love a girl that honors the best clear cola beverage ever?

Katie Holmes Is Flawless In Bobbi Brown's New Envy-Inducing Ad Campaign
We don't know where Katie Holmes stumbled across the fountain of youth, but we'd certainly like some hints (unless said hints lead us to slug-slime...that's where we'll draw the line). But if celebrity endorsements stand for anything (aside from slug-slime), we can start at Bobbi Brown and the just released images of Holmes for its first campaign for its first-ever celeb spokesmodel. (Whew — a lot of firsts!)
Dressed in a classic, white button-down, Holmes looks effortlessly beautiful, and her laid-back approach apparently embodies the brand's philosophy of natural beauty. "I never want to look like I am wearing too much makeup," Holmes said, "so [the new Long-Wear Even Finish Compact Foundation] evens out my skin, leaving it flawless and natural." Brown's beauty philosophy is that makeup should disappear and leave the skin looking fresh, and since Holmes has never been one to hide behind layers of caked-on foundation, this celebrity pairing is a no-brainer. She exudes the company's new tagline: "Confidence is everything, but a little makeup can't hurt." Another thing that can't hurt: having skin like Katie Holmes'.

Via Sea Slug? Disco Ball? Beautiful Deep-Sea Purple Blob Puzzles Scientists @ NPR.
I posted yesterday about political yardsigns in the city (the city proper). I'm curious, among other things, how Trump (a non-traditional GOP) candidate will fare here in November. Democrats have a traditional ideological nominee in Hillary Clinton, but Trump is markedly different from other Republicans before him, and from other Republican challengers this year.
(Disclosure: I'm a libertarian third-party voter supporting Johnson-Weld 2016.)
The only results available to us now are from the 4.5.16 presidential primary (using, below, election night results).
They're telling: among GOP voters in the city, 469 voted Trump, and 1,370 voted non-Trump. (The Walworth County part of the city went 374 Trump, 1092 non-Trump; the Jefferson County part went 95 Trump, 278 non-Trump. Most of the non-Trump votes went to either Cruz or Kasich.)
Obviously many non-Trump GOP voters in town will vote Trump in the fall. How many is unclear.
For now, it's telling to see that Whitewater in April was not Trump country within the GOP, as other areas (and notably parts of northern Wisconsin) were.
Good morning, Whitewater.
Thursday in town will be cloudy, with a likelihood of thunderstorms, and a high of seventy-eight. Sunrise is 5:43 AM and 8:19 PM, for 14h 35m 25s of daytime. The moon is a waning gibbous with 33.5% of its visible disk illuminated.
On Saturday, July 28, 1945, William Franklin Smith, Jr., was piloting a B-25 Mitchell bomber on a routine personnel transport mission from Bedford Army Air Field to Newark Airport.[3][4][5] Smith asked for clearance to land, but was advised of zero visibility.[6] Proceeding anyway, he became disoriented by the fog, and started turning right instead of left after passing the Chrysler Building.[7]
At 9:40 a.m., the aircraft crashed into the north side of the Empire State Building, between the 78th and 80th floors, carving an 18-by-20-foot (5.5 m × 6.1 m) hole in the building[8] where the offices of the National Catholic Welfare Council were located. One engine shot through the South side opposite the impact and flew as far as the next block, dropping 900 feet and landing on the roof of a nearby building and starting a fire that destroyed a penthouse art studio. The other engine and part of the landing gear plummeted down an elevator shaft. The resulting fire was extinguished in 40 minutes. It is still the only fire at such a height to be brought under control.[8]
Fourteen people were killed: Smith, the two others aboard the bomber (Staff Sergeant Christopher Domitrovich and Albert Perna, a Navy aviation machinist's friend hitching a ride), and eleven others in the building.[2] Smith was not found until two days later after search crews found that his body had gone through an elevator shaft and fallen to the bottom.[9] Elevator operator Betty Lou Oliver was injured. Rescuers decided to transport her on an elevator that they did not know had weakened cables. The cables snapped and the elevator fell 75 stories, ending up in the basements. She managed to survive the fall, which still stands as the Guinness World Record for the longest survived elevator fall, and was later found by rescue workers among the rubble.[7]
Despite the damage and loss of life, the building was open for business on many floors on the following Monday. The crash spurred the passage of the long-pending Federal Tort Claims Act of 1946, as well as the insertion of retroactive provisions into the law, allowing people to sue the government for the accident.[10]
On 7.28.1934, a riot in Kohler leads to National Guard intervention:
1934 – Two killed, 40 hurt in Kohler riot; National Guard occupies town
On this day, the "model industrial village" of Kohler became an armed camp of National Guard cavalrymen after deadly strike-related rioting. The July 27th violence, which killed two Sheboygan men and injured 40 others, prompted the summoning of 250 Guardsmen to join the 200 special deputy village marshals already present. After striking workers became agitated and began to destroy company property, deputies turned to tear gas, rifles, and shotguns to quell the stone-throwing crowd, resulting in the deaths and injuries.
Owner Walter Kohler blamed Communists and outside agitators for the violence, while union leaders blamed Kohler exclusively. Workers at the Kohler plant were demanding better hours, higher wages, and recognition of the American Federation of Labor as their collective bargaining agent. Not settled until 1941, the strike marked the beginning of what was to become a prolonged struggle between the Kohler Company and organized labor in Wisconsin; a second Kohler strike lasted from 1954 to 1965.

Here's the JigZone puzzle for Thursday:
As I've been riding though the city in the evening, I've been recently on the lookout for political signs. There have been a scattering of yardsigns for local or state candidates, but almost nothing for national politicians (and what I've seen has mostly been for Sanders).
November's not that far off, although perhaps there will be more yardsigns and bumper stickers after Labor Day.
The two national parties are not, however, in the same position: Clinton represents fundamentally a continuation of existing Democratic policies; Trump embodies a significant change in the direction of the GOP.
I'm curious about how local Democrats & Republicans will react, and demonstrate their reactions, to their parties' respective nominees.
There's both a political and a cultural aspect to supporting a candidate, and in this election we are likely to learn from residents' preferences something about the direction Whitewater's heading.
National elections are about more than small towns, to be sure. Our small town, however, may offer information about itself from a contest between two faraway politicians who've never visited, and may never visit, these nine square miles.
Good morning, Whitewater.
Midweek in town will be sunny, bringing later a chance of afternoon thunderstorms, with a high of eighty-nine. Sunrise is 5:24 AM and sunset 8:20 PM, for 14h 37m 31s of daytime. The moon is a waning crescent with 43.9% of its visible disk illuminated.
The Urban Forestry Commission is scheduled to meet today at 4:30 PM.
On this day in 1940, Bugs Bunny makes his (generally-regarded) first appearance the Warner Bros. cartoon, A Wild Hare:
A Wild Hare (re-released as The Wild Hare) is a 1940 Warner Bros.Merrie Melodiesanimatedshort film. It was produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions, directed by Tex Avery, and written by Rich Hogan. It was originally released on July 27, 1940. A Wild Hare is considered by most film historians to be the first "official" Bugs Bunny cartoon.[1][2] The title is a play on "wild hair", the first of many puns between "hare" and "hair" that would appear in Bugs Bunny titles. The pun is carried further by a bar of I'm Just Wild About Harry playing in the underscore of the opening credits. Various directors at the Warner Bros. cartoon studio had been experimenting with cartoons focused on a hunter pursuing a rabbit since 1938, with varied approaches to the characters of both rabbit and hunter.[3]
A Wild Hare is noteworthy as the first true Bugs Bunny cartoon, as well as for settling on the classic voice and appearance of the hunter, Elmer Fudd.[2] Although the animators continued to experiment with Elmer's design for a few more years, his look here proved the basis for his finalized design.[4] The design and character of Bugs Bunny would continue to be refined over the subsequent years, but the general appearance, voice, and personality of the character were established in this cartoon. The animator of this cartoon, Virgil Ross, gave his first-person account of the creation of the character's name and personality in an interview published in Animato! Magazine, #19, copyright 1989 Pixar.[5]
Bugs is unnamed in this film, but would be named for the first time in his next short, Elmer's Pet Rabbit, directed by Chuck Jones. The opening lines of both characters—"Be vewy, vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits" for Elmer, and "Eh, what's up Doc?" for Bugs Bunny—would become catchphrases throughout their subsequent films.
This cartoon was first theatrically released with the Warner Bros. film Ladies Must Live.
On this day in 1894, fire forces thousands of Wisconsinites to flee:
1894 – Forest Fire Destroys Phillips
On the afternoon of this day, a forest fire swept over the Price Co. town of Phillips from the west, destroying nearly all the buildings and forcing 2,000 people to flee for their lives. When the sun came up the next morning, 13 people had been killed, the entire downtown was in ashes, and exhausted survivors were wandering through the ruins in a daze. The fire ultimately consumed more than 100,000 acres in Price County. Much of the town was rebuilt within a year.
Here is the Wednesday puzzle from JigZone:
Inishturk, Ireland, has a population of 58 and its people—according to a widely circulated Internet rumor—have offered refuge to any Americans who want to flee from a Donald Trump presidency. This charming documentary by MEL Films, Make Inishturk Great Again, takes us to the sparsely inhabited island to get the locals' perspectives on America, the presidential election, and what Trump has said about Ireland. The film has an obvious perspective on Trump that is far from impartial, but it's entertaining and adventurous nonetheless. To see more films from MEL, visit their website and Vimeo page.

Good morning, Whitewater.
Tuesday in town will be partly cloudy with a high of eighty-seven. Sunrise is 5:41 AM and sunset 8:21 PM, for 14h 39m 34s of daytime. The moon is a waning gibbous with 55.7% of its visible disk illuminated.
On this day in 1775, America establishes a postal service:
On this day in 1775, the U.S. postal system is established by the Second Continental Congress, with Benjamin Franklin as its first postmaster general. Franklin (1706-1790) put in place the foundation for many aspects of today's mail system.
During early colonial times in the 1600s, few American colonists needed to send mail to each other; it was more likely that their correspondence was with letter writers in Britain. Mail deliveries from across the Atlantic were sporadic and could take many months to arrive. There were no post offices in the colonies, so mail was typically left at inns and taverns.
In 1753, Benjamin Franklin, who had been postmaster of Philadelphia, became one of two joint postmasters general for the colonies. He made numerous improvements to the mail system, including setting up new, more efficient colonial routes and cutting delivery time in half between Philadelphia and New York by having the weekly mail wagon travel both day and night via relay teams. Franklin also debuted the first rate chart, which standardized delivery costs based on distance and weight.
In 1774, the British fired Franklin from his postmaster job because of his revolutionary activities. However, the following year, he was appointed postmaster general of the United Colonies by the Continental Congress. Franklin held the job until late in 1776, when he was sent to France as a diplomat. He left a vastly improved mail system, with routes from Florida to Maine and regular service between the colonies and Britain.
President George Washington appointed Samuel Osgood, a former Massachusetts congressman, as the first postmaster general of the American nation under the new U.S. constitution in 1789. At the time, there were approximately 75 post offices in the country.
Tuesday's JigZone puzzle is a chain link:
Five thousand years old —
I've written a bit about the search for a grocery in Whitewater, but admittedly it has not been a principal topic for me.
That's not because I don't think a grocery or co-op would be nice to have; it's because I know it's hard to sustain one. Retail grocers (independent ones most notably) operate under demanding, difficult market conditions.
It doesn't matter how much some residents now want a grocery – it's not easy to attract one. Sentry's owners, after all, tried for years to find a buyer. What matters is whether sufficient numbers of residents can be expected to patronize regularly a grocery. Not enough did so previously.
I'm surely no booster of local government, and I'd surely rather not see public money for a grocery, but it's wildly mistaken for some to contend that this should have happened by now, as though with a snap of one's fingers. The expectation & implication that this should have been wrapped up already is, to put it mildly, misguided.
It's significantly harder to attract or run a grocery than it is to fill one's cart while walking down the aisles.
Good morning, Whitewater.
Monday in town will be mostly sunny with a high of eighty-five. Sunrise is 5:40 AM and sunset 8:22 PM, for 14h 41m 35s of daytime. The moon is a waning gibbous with 66.7% of its visible disk illuminated.
Whitewater's School Board meets tonight at 7:00 PM.
On this day in 1832, passengers experience the first recorded American railroad accident:
The first recorded railroad accident in U.S. history occurs when four people are thrown off a vacant car on the Granite Railway near Quincy, Massachusetts. The victims had been invited to view the process of transporting large and weighty loads of stone when a cable on a vacant car snapped on the return trip, throwing them off the train and over a 34-foot cliff. One man was killed and the others were seriously injured.
The steam locomotive was first pioneered in England at the beginning of the 19th century by Richard Trevithick and George Stephenson. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad began operation in 1828 with horse-drawn cars, but after the successful run of the Tom Thumb, a steam train that nearly outraced a horse in a public demonstration in 1830, steam power was added. By 1831, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad had completed a line from Baltimore to Frederick, Maryland.
The acceptance of railroads came quickly in the 1830s, and by 1840 the nation had almost 3,000 miles of railway, greater than the combined European total of only 1,800 miles. The railroad network expanded quickly in the years before the Civil War, and by 1860 the American railroad system had become a national network of some 30,000 miles. Nine years later, transcontinental railroad service became possible for the first time.
July 25th, 1999 sees a first for the Brewers:
1999 – First Brewer Inducted into Hall of Fame
On this date Robin Yount became the first player inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame in a Brewer's jersey. Yount entered the major leagues at the age of 18 and spent his entire career with the Milwaukee Brewers as number 19 at short stop and center field. His awards are numerous, including being selected as an all-star three times as well as American league MVP twice. [Source: Milwaukee Brewers]

On this day in 1911, historian Hiram Bingham makes an extraordinary discovery:
Machu Picchu (in hispanicized spelling, Spanish pronunciation … or Machu Pikchu (Quechua machu old, old person, pikchu peak; mountain or prominence with a broad base that ends in sharp peaks,[1] "old peak", pronunciation.. is a 15th-century Inca citadel situated on a mountain ridge 2,430 metres (7,970 ft)above sea level.[2][3] It is located in the Cusco Region, Urubamba Province, Machupicchu District in Peru,[4] above the Sacred Valley, which is 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Cuzco and through which the Urubamba River flows.
Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472). Often mistakenly referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas" (a title more accurately applied to Vilcabamba), it is the most familiar icon of Inca civilization. The Incas built the estate around 1450 but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Although known locally, it was not known to the Spanish during the colonial period and remained unknown to the outside world until American historian Hiram Bingham brought it to international attention in 1911.
Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls. Its three primary structures are the Inti Watana, the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows. Most of the outlying buildings have been reconstructed in order to give tourists a better idea of how they originally appeared.[5] By 1976, thirty percent of Machu Picchu had been restored[5] and restoration continues.[6]
Machu Picchu was declared a Peruvian Historical Sanctuary in 1981 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.[3] In 2007, Machu Picchu was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in a worldwide Internet poll.
On this day in 1892, Iron River experiences disaster:

Viviana Guzman, the "Flute Queen" contends that the humpback whales of Half Moon Bay like her flute playing. Perhaps they do – one came close recently, as recorded below:
Raymond Thornton Chandler (July 23, 1888 – March 26, 1959) was a British-American novelist and screenwriter. In 1932, at the age of forty-four, Chandler became a detective fiction writer after losing his job as an oil company executive during the Great Depression. His first short story, "Blackmailers Don't Shoot", was published in 1933 in Black Mask, a popular pulp magazine. His first novel, The Big Sleep, was published in 1939. In addition to his short stories, Chandler published seven novels during his lifetime (an eighth, in progress at the time of his death, was completed by Robert B. Parker). All but Playback have been made into motion pictures, some more than once. In the year before he died, he was elected president of the Mystery Writers of America. He died on March 26, 1959, in La Jolla, California.[1]
Chandler had an immense stylistic influence on American popular literature. He is considered to be a founder of the hard-boiled school of detective fiction, along with Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain and other Black Mask writers. The protagonist of his novels, Philip Marlowe, like Hammett's Sam Spade, is considered by some to be synonymous with "private detective." Both were played in films by Humphrey Bogart, whom many consider to be the quintessential Marlowe.
Some of Chandler's novels are considered important literary works, and three have been considered masterpieces:Farewell, My Lovely (1940), The Little Sister (1949), and The Long Goodbye (1953). The Long Goodbye was praised in an anthology of American crime stories as "arguably the first book since Hammett's The Glass Key, published more than twenty years earlier, to qualify as a serious and significant mainstream novel that just happened to possess elements of mystery".[2]
If you've not heard the cast recording from Hamilton, you're missing out – it's memorable from first to last.
Although I'm not big on standalone quotes, here's one, from that musical's Washington on Your Side, that's both memorable and, I think, often figuratively true:
If there's a fire you're trying to douse,
You can't put it out from inside the house
(It's not a direct historical quote from anyone, to my knowledge, but rather clever lyrics. Jefferson and Madison sing these words in the musical.)
There's much to be said for an independent position, for a policy of distance, detachment, and (in all cases) diligence.
Over at the Journal Sentinel, while lamenting his party's current politics, conservative Christian Schneider quotes from a Courtney Barnett song:
"I must confess I've made a mess of what should be a small success."
Now I'm a libertarian, but well aware of how many ideological conservatives feel out of place in Trump's GOP. Schneider is such a conservative. I've a genuine sympathy for those who feel they've lost an ideological home, even if it's not a feeling I share. (I've been home for forever in libertarianism, so to speak.)
Libertarians are outside the two-party dynamic, but outside still offers a view. From this outsider's view, the GOP looks unrecognizable even from a decade ago.
The clever lyrics Schneider applies to his party are as much understatement as anything, considering how very different this year looks.
They are, however, lyrics worth remembering in the months ahead, as America is likely to have more need of confessing that we've 'made a mess of what should be a small success.'
Update: the press release was changed during the day from its original wording, as indicated below.
Posted immediately below is the full and unaltered text of a City of Whitewater press release on recruitment of a grocery store. Needless to say, I don't represent the city, but it's fair to pass along the complete municipal press release —
Press Release
Grocery Store Recruitment Update
July 21, 2016
Daniels' Sentry Foods closed its doors for the last time in December 2015. Since that time, the Whitewater Common Council and Community Development Authority (CDA) have been rigorously engaged in efforts to recruit another grocery store in Whitewater.
As part of the City's efforts, the CDA commissioned Chuck Perkins, a respected marketing consultant in the grocery sector, to conduct a grocery market analysis in order to identify various locations for a new store, as well as clarify a store size the Whitewater community could support. Based upon his market analysis, Mr. Perkins indicated that a smaller store located at the site of the now vacant Daniels' Sentry Foods building has the greatest opportunity for long-term success. Shortly after the completion and release of the market analysis report, the City of Whitewater was contacted by an independent grocer interested in potentially locating a store in the community.
Since the first contact with the interested grocer, city officials and staff have been working closely with the potential grocer to develop a plan which would allow for the establishment of a new grocery store in Whitewater. As of Tuesday, July 19, both parties have verbally agreed to a tentative framework that provides for a grocery operation to be located at the site of the former Daniels' Sentry Foods.
Earlier this year, the UW-Whitewater Foundation, in an effort to address UW-Whitewater space needs on campus, submitted a formal offer to purchase the Daniels Sentry property. Their offer has been accepted and a lease agreement for use of the space awaits confirmation by the UW System Board of Regents.
Due to the University's need for additional space to allow for campus growth and the public's need for a grocery store to bolster the Whitewater economy, the City is actively seeking to create a mutually beneficial solution that would allow for a grocery store to locate in the former Daniels' Sentry building while still addressing the long-term space needs of the University.
Residents interested in expressing their sentiment on this issue can contact the Common Council directly at email@example.com.
or contact the UW-Whitewater Chancellor at email@example.com. Substituted text: Comments submitted will also be shared with UW-Whitewater Foundation and UW-Whitewater officials.
Questions or concerns regarding grocery recruitment efforts can be directed to Patrick Cannon, CDA Director, email@example.com, 262-473-0148 or to Cameron Clapper, City Manager, firstname.lastname@example.com, 262-473-0100.

From: Paradise, CA
Region: California
Topic: Poisonous Plants
Title: Plants to replace poison ivy and brush
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I am right next to a highway in Paradise, CA 95969. I am having brush and poison oak removed in that area and want to plant something fast growing and draught resistant. I am thinking about Oleanders, but I have 2 little dogs. I don't think they would bother the Oleanders though as they don't chew on much except grass. Any ideas?
Mr. Smarty Plants would not recommend oleanders (Nerium oleander) since they are not native to California or North America (native to the Mediterranean area and Asia) and what we are all about is "to increase the sustainable use and conservation of native wildflowers, plants and landscapes." Also, as you probably know, all parts of the plant are highly toxic.
Here are some recommendations for native substitutes:
Heteromeles arbutifolia (toyon) and more photos and information
Frangula californica (syn. Rhamnus californica) (California buckthorn or coffeeberry) and photos and more information
Rhamnus crocea (redberry buckthorn) and more photos and information
You could also use one of the California manzanitas (Arctostaphylos spp.)

The updated app recommends gifts based on a user's Facebook friends' interests.
Sam's Club, the member-supported warehouse shopping arm of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., No. 6 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, has launched a mobile app aimed at simplifying consumers' shopping experiences.
The app allows shoppers to scan a product using 2-D barcode scanning, read ratings and reviews, and use the app's Holiday Gift Finder to analyze a friend's Facebook profile for potential gift ideas. The Holiday Gift Finder also enables shoppers to search gifts by gender, age and price.
Each day of the season the app will feature a Buy of the Day. Consumers can receive details about the items details, read reviews, e-mail links to the promotion or text it to their friends. The app will preview the retailer's day after Thanksgiving sale prior to Thanksgiving so shoppers can prepare.
Sam's Club members can also use the app to locate the nearest Sam's Club store, check each store's inventory, and view their eValues, which are customized discounts loaded on a shopper's membership card. The app alerts the consumer when a new offer is added to a shopper's eValues.
The reason the retailer launched the app was due to the company's recent research that showed nearly 40% of its customers shop from their mobile phone, says Cindy Davis, Sam's Club executive vice president of marketing. "We are always listening to our members to find the next innovation and this app will help us improve our members' shopping experience in a simple and uniquely Sam's Club way."
