We spent 2 weeks (Dec 18, 2010 to Jan 1, 2011) there with our 16 year old twins, it was supposed to be just my wife an I, but the twins whined enough that we took them too, so much for a romantic vacation...
When reading in these reviews I see comments about the lack of maid service and one complained about insufficient towels/linens. I find these comments odd because they are complaining about "Costa Bonita" when it was not "Costa Bonita" renting them the condo, they rented a privately owned condo that happens to be in the "Costa Bonita" complex. They should take it up with the people they rented the condo from, not complain about the complex where the condo is situated in... As for organized activities, there are none, the building is not a hotel; the condos are all private residences in a complex on the beach. You have to find/make your own activities. This is probably not the place to stay if plan on spending all your time at the complex expecting to be entertained.
The condo and the resort is extremely clean and well kept. The restaurant and bar is run as a not-for-profit by the HOA so the prices are very low. There is a huge selection of books to trade in the room behind the jacuzzi. We found the snowbirds to be friendly and outgoing. It is a quiet place, no organized activities, but one of the snowbird ladies gives free water exercise classes each morning. We spent most of the time exploring Mazatlan, We signed up for several trips, rented a Hobie Cat 4 times (1 hour each time). we booked the Huana Coa Canopy Adventure zip line tour (12 lines) at the tour desk, what a blast!!!!!! They even include beers or soft drinks and a great Mexican cheese fondue meal after the zipppppingggggg. The guys are really funny and they know what they are doing, highly recommended!
The resort beach area is gently sloped, it does not drop off quickly like it does in many other parts of Mazatlan, you can walk out a long ways before it gets deep. The Golden Zone is around 10 minutes away by bus (60 cents), there is a bus every few minutes, so we didn't bother with a taxi (around 7 dollars) unless we were going back to the condo with a lot of purchases.

—GORAZD MEŠKO, dean and professor, Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security, University of Maribor, Slovenia
"A compelling, first-hand investigator's account of the war crimes perpetrated in the former Yugoslavia, and a fascinating re-creation of the events that led to the tragic displacement and slaughter of citizens by their own government."
—JAY S. ALBANESE, professor and criminologist, Wilder School of Government & Public Affairs, Virginia Commonwealth University; former chief, International Center at the National Institute of Justice; and former president, Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences
"John Cencich and his investigative team conducted the interviews and gathered the evidence, which enabled them to track down, and bring to justice, the architects of one of the most horrifying episodes in the history of humanity. This book will prove to be an enormously valuable resource for historians, teachers of European history, and criminal justice professionals."
—ROY HAZELWOOD, author of Dark Dreams and The Evil That Men Do
"It was an honor to be part of such a unique group of international investigators and a significant part of history. John Cencich did a great job leading Team Four and developing the Milosevic indictment. The Devil's Garden allows the world to see the destruction of war and what experienced investigators and a well-planned investigation can do to bring closure and justice to the victims."
—BRENT PFUNDHELLER, former senior war crimes investigator, United Nations ICTY
"The Devil's Garden reflects John Cencich's calculated and determined approach to an organized investigative process. Dealing with massive pain and suffering on a grand scale, it informs future generations and underlines the ignominious consequences of war."
—RAJIE MURUGAN, group CEO, G9 Group of Companies, South Africa
"The Devil's Garden is an exciting, genuine, and enlightening book, which was inspired by firsthand accounts of the world of war, organized crime, and international security. John Cencich's work at the ICTY and through this book is a triumph for truth and knowledge."
—JANA ARSOVSKA, assistant professor of sociology, John Jay College of Criminal Justice

Philippine Peso Has First Weekly Gain in a Month on Remittances
The Philippine peso completed its first weekly gain in a month on speculation Filipinos living abroad are sending more money home ahead of the year-end.
Remittances from the 9 million Filipinos working overseas normally peak in the weeks before Christmas, according to Joric Nazario, a treasurer at the Philippine Veterans Bank in Manila. Concern the central bank is capping the supply of dollars in the local market by allowing foreign-currency swaps to mature is limiting gains, he said.
"Around this time, we should really be seeing robust remittances," Nazario said. "The central bank has found a very good tool to cap dollar supply by not rolling over its forward books. The peso's been moving in a band for a while."
The peso rose 0.8 percent this week to 43.905 per dollar this week as of the 4 p.m. close of trading in Manila, according to inter-dealer broker Tullett Prebon Plc. The currency dropped 0.1 percent from yesterday.
The local currency will probably end the year between 43 and 43.50, Nazario said. The central bank "seems comfortable" with an exchange rate of 43.60 to 44.10, he said.
Money sent home by overseas Filipinos rose 10.6 percent in September from a year earlier to $1.6 billion, according to the central bank. The data for October are due on Dec. 15.
Five-year local-currency bonds were little changed this week after the government set minimum coupons for the new 10-and 25-year securities it will issue in a bond exchange.
The yield on the 7 percent securities due January 2016 was 4.74 percent from 4.75 percent on Nov. 26, according to Tradition Financial Services. The rate rose three basis points from yesterday.

Cold-pressed from the peel of fresh limes, Lime essential oil is refreshing and energizing in both aroma and taste. Limes are frequently used in entrées and beverages for their fresh, citrus flavor. In the 18th century, British sailors drank lime juice daily to prevent scurvy while at sea, thus giving British seamen the nickname "Limeys." Lime essential oil contains powerful antioxidants that ward off free radicals and enhance immunity. Due to its high limonene content, Lime provides internal cleansing benefits and can be diffused to help purify the air. It's also an effective and natural surface cleaner. Lime is known for its ability to uplift mood, and balance and energize the mind and body. Lime is frequently used in facial and body cleansers for its purifying properties and uplifting scent.
Possible skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor's care, consult your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas. Avoid sunlight or UV rays for up to 12 hours after applying product.

"Praiseworthy for the breadth and depth of its content and its ability to remain up to date. It serves the needs not only of the beginning student, the pathologist in training, but all practitioners of medicine with intellectual curiosity." - Modern Pathology, review of previous edition
"Bound to retain its standing as the definitive source for learning, or relearning, the principles of the pathologic basis of disease." - Advances in Anatomic Pathology, review of previous edition
"This book is even shorter than before. That is really impressive. I cannot but admire this book, which I keep re-reading since I entered Pathology in 1966. Wow, it shows that even a first class book can be improved - hard to believe but true. It is very readable and even funny in some places. The text is nicely laid out and the book looks less bulky than the previous edition. The illustrations are excellent. Even though the book is definitely for the new generations, I am sure that it will be welcomed by senior pathologists trying to keep up with the times - I doubt that I am the only old timer eager to re-read it." - Ivan Damjanov, MD, PhD, author of Pathology Secrets and Pathophysiology

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor gave a shout out to Latina girl power when she visited the set of Sesame Street recently to talk about careers.
"A career is a job that you train for and prepare for and plan on doing for a long time," explained the Puerto Rican Judge to Abby Cadabby. Even though Prince Harry remains on the market, the Sesame Street character must have still been a bit confused about what a career is when she expressed her interest in starting a career as a princess.

How To Prepare
You may be asked to keep a sleep diary(What is a PDF document?) for 1 to 2 weeks before your sleep study. Try to follow your normal sleep routine during this time so you will not be too tired or too rested for your sleep test. Do not take any naps for 2 to 3 days before your test.
Tell your doctor about any drugs you are taking. You may be asked to stop taking certain drugs, such as sedatives, before your sleep study.
You may be asked to avoid food or drinks with caffeine for a day or two before your test.
Take a shower or bath before your test, but do not use sprays, oils, or gels on your hair. Do not wear makeup, fingernail polish, or fake nails, because some of the test equipment will be placed on your face and fingers.
If the sleep study will be done in a sleep lab, pack a small overnight bag with personal items, such as a toothbrush, comb, favorite pillows or blankets, or a book, to take along. You do not need to wear a hospital gown. You can wear your normal nightclothes.
The sleep lab may send you forms to fill out before the test. These forms will ask about your sleep habits and patterns. The forms may also include questions for the person who sleeps with you; he or she may be aware of sleep habits you do not know you have.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
How It Is Done
Sleep studies are usually done by a trained sleep lab technician. The studies are usually scheduled for evening and night hours (10 p.m. to 6 a.m.) in a special sleep lab. But if you usually sleep during the day, your test will be done during the hours you normally sleep. You will be in a private room, much like a hotel room. For portable sleep monitoring, you will use equipment at home that records information about you while you sleep.

Muslims plan to empower children in the Bronx this Ramadan, by giving free school bags and supplies

Marvel vs Capcom Vita DLC share bug to be fixed
An issue blocking PlayStation 3 owners from sharing their Marvel vs Capcom 3 Jill and Shuma Gorath DLC with the Vita version will be resolved at the end of the month.
Capcom Unity reports the problem is set to be resolved on March 27, during the weekly PlayStation Network update.
If players have already redeemed the code which game with the special edition, they should find the Vita DLC listes as available for download instead of purchase.
Those with the Special Edition of Marvel vs Capcom 3 reported being unable to download the DLC characters to their Vita copies of UMvC3, forcing them to miss out or cough up $4.99 for the extras.
Sometimes we include links to online retail stores. If you click on one and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. For more information, go here.

Editor's note: The 2016 International Migratory Bird Day is May 14.
This coming Saturday, May 8, is International Migratory Bird Day, which will be celebrated locally at the Evergreen Nature Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Cougars mercy rule Conifer
DENVER — D'Evelyn's girls tennis program came up just short the last three seasons on grabbing a regional title.
That trend changed May 6 at Colorado Academy in Denver. The Jaguars, Class 4A Jeffco League champions, edged the host Mustangs after falling short to Colorado Academy last season and Kent Denver the two previous seasons.
By Craig Harper — For the Courier
LAKEWOOD — No other Class 4A Jeffco girls soccer team matched Evergreen's accomplishments against conference champion Wheat Ridge.
During the Cougars' regular-season finale May 4 at Lakewood Memorial Field, Evergreen (9-5-1 record, 6-2-1 in league) held the Farmers scoreless and managed a 0-0 tie in the process. On top of that, Evergreen clinched third place and one of the league's four automatic berths in the 32-team state tournament.
Future gardeners held a live lottery and party, or "plottery," last Thursday at Evergreen High School to assign 11 of 21 available plots in the new Buffalo Park Community Garden at Wilmot Elementary School.
Of the 11 plots in the live drawing, seven were assigned to two or more people acting as partners, said Shawn Hamam, a parent volunteer and coordinator for construction at the garden. About 50 people turned out for the event, Hamam said.
An Evergreen-based family man and outdoorsman has teamed with a free-spirited survivalist who made it through 21 days in the jungle on Discovery Channel's "Naked and Afraid" to offer basic and advanced survival courses this summer.
Jack Riggi, 46, still has a day job as a geologist with an engineering company, but on the side he runs Evergreen Wilderness Guides, going into its third season.
Monte Estis and Bill May won election Tuesday to two open seats on the Evergreen Park and Recreation District board, edging a third candidate, Doug Lempke.
According to unofficial results released by the district Tuesday night, Estis captured 243 votes, and May 240. Lempke trailed with 232 votes.
The Abide Ride, a local purveyor of breakfast burritos, has returned to regular operations after a permit issue forced the owner to move out of sight for several weeks.
According to owner Damon Scott, a formal complaint was filed with Jeffco Planning and Zoning a couple of months ago regarding Abide Ride's presence at 26431 Main St. in Aspen Park. The food truck then faced being shut down for lack of a zoning permit.
The man who in 2014 became the first Jeffco jail inmate to escape in almost 30 years was sentenced last week to 72 years in prison for his escape and the string of crimes he committed afterward.
Travis Sandlin, 34, was convicted by a jury Jan. 12 of 33 felony counts, including escape, burglary of a dwelling, aggravated motor vehicle theft, vehicular eluding, identity theft and trespass of a vehicle.
Big hats, mint juleps and horses on the track: All will be at the party, and the Mountain Resource Center hopes a lot of people will be there as well.
On Saturday, the MRC will host Mountain Derby Daze at the Evergreen Elks Lodge — a new fund-raising event that will feature a silent auction, wooden horse races, a derby hat and attire contest, and a live stream of the 2016 Kentucky Derby.

Could someone please help me with my following use case? It should be dead simple to do, but I don't know how, and I'm wondering why I'm finding it so hard.
I simply want to create recipe template that users can access to add their own recipes to my wordpress site.
A recipe should be simple and have 3 sections: a name, an ingredients section, and a directions section. That's it.
How would I begin to accomplish this?
To show that I've been trying, I have downloaded advanced custom fields and also custom post types UI. First, are those the right plugins for the job?
I made a custom post type and called it "recipes". I assume that I need to use advanced custom fields to attach a name, ingredients, and directions field to the custom post type named "recipe".
I failed to do the "attaching". Also, where would I move this recipe object so that users can add a recipe? I can see "add recipes" in the admin, but I don't want to do the adding. I want a user to do that.

Michael Delp at the Oliver Art Center
Elizabeth Lane Oliver Center for the Arts
Series Editors: M. L. Liebler, Wayne State University; Michael Delp, Interlochen Center for the Arts
The Made in Michigan Writers Series is devoted to highlighting the works of distinguished statewide writers to showcase Michigan's diverse voices. The series publishes poetry, creative nonfiction, short fiction, and essays by Michigan writers with the aim of encouraging the recognition of the state's artistic and cultural heritage throughout Michigan, the Midwest, and the nation.
While a mother can be defined as a creator, a nurturer, a protector—at the center of each mother is an individual who is attempting to manage her own fears, desires, and responsibilities in different and sometimes unexpected ways. In Know the Mother, author Desiree Cooper explores the complex archetype of the mother in all of her incarnations. In a collage of meditative stories, women—both black and white—find themselves wedged between their own yearnings and their roles as daughters, sisters, grandmothers, and wives. Know the Mother explores the intersection of race and gender in vignettes that pull you in and then are gone in an instant.
Desiree Cooper is a 2015 Kresge Artist Fellow. Her fiction and poetry have appeared in Callaloo, Detroit Noir, Best African American Fiction 2010, and Tidal Basin Review, among other online and print publications. Cooper was a founding board member of Cave Canem, a national residency for emerging black poets, and she is a Kimbilio fellow, a national residency for African American fiction writers.

Four Points by Sheraton Wuhan, Jiangxia
Local Area
One of China's cultural gems for some 3,500 years, Wuhan is the provincial capital of Hubei Province. Showcasing natural landscape views and just a few minutes on foot from district government offices, the Four Points by Sheraton Wuhan, Jiangxia is conveniently located on Wenhua Road in the center of the new Jiangxia District. The Wuhan Economic Development Zone is just across the river, and the East Lake High-Tech Development Zone is a few minutes north of the hotel. Wuhan Tianhe International Airport (WUH) is an hour's drive away, and the Wuchang Railway Station can be reached in just 30 minutes.
Explore Wuhan's numerous attractions, starting with the Hubei Provincial Museum. The museum not only contains interesting artifacts, including a concert bell set excavated from ancient tombs, but also hosts performances of ancient music and dance. The Rock and Bonsai Museum's mounted stones, enormous quartz crystal, and peaceful outdoor bonsai garden are also worth seeing.
For panoramas of Yangtze River, visit the famous Yellow Crane Tower. Dating back to 223 A.D., this historic landmark is one of the Four Great Towers of China. Visitors can admire its displays and age-old inscriptions, and also strike the temple's large bell. More serenity can be found at the Guiyuan Buddhist Temple, an important shrine with impressive sculptures and Buddhist doctrines.
For a relaxing taste of nature, visit the massive East Lake. Its shores have many scenic spots, including parks, plum gardens, a bamboo forest, a bird sanctuary, and recreation areas. Evening entertainment abounds in Wuhan, especially on vibrant Jiqing Street. The area is home to many seafood and alfresco restaurants, pushcarts serving street food, and roving street performers.

Interesting. Reminds me of: http://www.nhplace.com/kent/CL/Issues/proclaim-lexical.html ..but simpler. If I got this right, depenending on how one look at it, DEFGLOBAL is basically a DEFVAR with some constraints added (safety for users or clarity of intent) and/or features removed (faster?). I have at least one place in my code where I can see both of these effects being useful. > Cheers, > > -- Nikodemus

homeowners insurance
Well we are working with our 3rd lender and we have an accepted offer on a nice home. Set to close next month!!!
inspection and VA APPRAISAL this week. my question is about insurance. the house is 7 years old in a subdivision that is still building houses, floor plans start in the 170,000.00.
Our offer was right around 200,000. On the house we love. it is a large home 4000 sq Ft 4 beds 4 bathrooms. but we are checking insurance rates and they are nuts we checked 4 places that range from 400,000.00 to 600,000.00 dwelling coverage. yearly price 1600- 2200 a year. The agents keep saying it is because the house is big and that it would cost more then 400,000.00 to rebuild it if it was damaged!!! NOTHING in the house is upgraded all builder grade standard stuff. basic carpet, basic vinyl floors in kitchen and bathrooms. laminate counters, basic cabinets. Basically a blank slate for years to come for us to make it our home!
Does this seem reasonable ? Our realtor thinks it sounds ridiculous. We want to insure our home correctly not too little but certainly not over insure it. How do you know when you have the right coverage is their a formula that we can use?

FARGO, N.D. (AP) -- When Debbie Reynolds won the Miss Burbank contest in 1948, all she wanted was the silk scarf, blouse and free lunch she would get for entering.
She not only won the contest, but Warner Bros. offered her a screen test the next day.
The 69-year-old actress still works 50 weeks a year. She'll appear Thursday night at the Fargodome during Life's Options, a lifestyle exposition for senior citizens.
''I love my work and I have things that I want to accomplish and when you do that, you have to earn lots of money,'' Reynolds told The Forum of Fargo. ''You need revenue. I have married poorly and they have received a lot of money, my ex-husbands -- not always given to them, but they have taken their little hands into my pockets.''
Reynolds is trying to raise money for a museum to house her collection of Hollywood memorabilia.
Looking for nuances from first lady
CULVER CITY, Calif. -- Carrie Quinn Dolin doesn't look at the president and first lady the same way the rest of the country does.
She has a slightly skewed perspective, playing first lady Laura Bush on Comedy Central's sitcom parody ''That's My Bush!'' opposite Timothy Bottoms as President Bush.
''I'm not so much looking at them as the president and the first lady, but I'm looking at them as, you know, OK, what can I get from them by watching them that I can add to my character?'' Dolin told AP Radio. ''Is there some little nuance that I could pick up?''
Dolin said it takes some work to make her look like the first lady.
''There's a little padding here and there. In the bustline I am definitely padded -- well,'' she said, laughing. ''There's a whole thing that comes along with that, a whole sense of power and first ladyness. I don't know how that happens but it sure does.''
This time it's the other Limbaugh
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. -- A Limbaugh is making waves in political circles, but it isn't Rush.
This time, the conservative radio host's brother, David Limbaugh, is the one making rounds on major news talk shows. The first book from the Cape Girardeau, Mo., lawyer and syndicated columnist, ''Absolute Power,'' rose as high as No. 2 on The New York Times best seller list and now is No. 3. Some 150,000 copies have been printed.
A successful book isn't even the best thing going for Limbaugh. His wife, Lisa, gave birth Friday to the couple's first son. The couple also has three daughters.
''Absolute Power'' is an indictment of the U.S. Department of Justice under former President Clinton and former Attorney General Janet Reno.
The book has spent seven weeks on the Times best seller list. Limbaugh acknowledges his brother's popularity has helped, but believes it has sold well for another reason.
''There's a sense of unquenched justice, that (Bill) Clinton never was brought to account, that the full truth never has been reported,'' he said.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Ellen Fein still plays by ''The Rules,'' even though she's getting a divorce.
The co-author of the ''Rules'' books, which teach women to snag men by playing hard to get, is splitting up with her husband of 15 years, just as ''The Rules III: Time-Tested Secrets for Making Your Marriage Work,'' is hitting bookstores.
''I don't think it ruins my credibility at all,'' the 43-year-old Fein said during an interview on ABC's ''PrimeTime Thursday,'' in which co-author Sherrie Schneider also appeared.
''I totally 100 percent believe in 'The Rules,''' Fein said. ''And I believe in 'The Rules' for marriage ... and I did them all for many, many years.''
The original 1996 book, ''The Rules: Time-Tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right,'' was a huge hit, with more than 2 million copies in print. The sequel, ''The Rules II: More Rules to Live and Love By,'' came out in 1997.
Schneider said: ''Those who think that Ellen's situation is going to be the end of 'The Rules' are going to be very disappointed because we have a gift for helping women with dating and marriage, and that is going to continue regardless of what happens in our personal lives.''
FORT PAYNE, Ala. (AP) -- Country band Alabama has donated $100,000 to the school system in Fort Payne, where the band is based.
Singer Randy Owen and guitarist Jeff Cook said at a news conference at Fort Payne high school Tuesday the money came from an annual outdoor concert called June Jam.
''We're proud of our schools, our teachers and the fine job they're doing,'' Owen said.
The Fort Payne school system stands to lose $600,000 in state funding because of education budget cutbacks.
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) -- For a walk-on bit in a comedy about soccer, British movie director Steve Barron got the very best: Pele.
The soccer great, playing himself, this week filmed his scene in Barron's new film, tentatively titled ''Mike Basset: England Manager.''
The movie is about the coach of a small British club who becomes the unlikely choice to manage England's national soccer team at the World Cup in Brazil. Ricky Tomlinson, star of the British TV series ''The Royle Family,'' plays coach Basset.
Pele, widely considered soccer's greatest player ever, took an hour to film his one scene. As he gives an interview to a TV reporter, Pele walks into a restaurant and is surprised to find it filled with British players. One starts to shout, and he turns and walks out.
Although he has had movie roles before, the retired ''king'' of soccer expressed concern about his lines.
''I'm timid,'' he said.

Allan "AZ" Zimmerli, 90, of rural Redwood Falls died peacefully at his home in Delhi Township Tuesday, July 30, 2013. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, August 2, 2013 from Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Belview. Burial, with military honors, will follow in the Belview Cemetery. Visitation will be held Aug. 1 from 4 until 8 p.m., at Nelson-Martin Funeral Home in Redwood Falls and will continue at the church on Friday for one hour prior to services.
In accordance with Al's wishes, the family will be donating memorials to the Fisher House, an organization providing a "home away from home" for families of hospitalized veterans. Arrange-ments are with Nelson-Martin Funeral Service of Redwood Falls. E-mail condolences may be sent via www.nelsonmartinfuneralservice.com.
Allan Lee Zimmerli, the son of William and Ella (Georgious) Zimmerli, was born November 20, 1922 in Wabasso. He was baptized and confirmed in the Christian faith and was raised on the family farm in rural Wabasso. Allan attended Wabasso Public School before helping on his family's farm.
In 1944, he joined the Navy and served as a Seabee in the Philippines. Following his honorable discharge, Allan returned to help on the family farm. In 1952 he purchased his own land near Delhi to farm what many call the "AZ Ranch," where he resided until his passing.
On November 20, 1962, Allan married Darlene Schmidt, and they raised their five children together. Over the years, he was devoted to raising a variety of livestock along with his crops and his treasured Belgian horses. Allan relished being outdoors riding his six-wheeler, tending to the garden, hunting, and fishing. He was passionate about preserving the land, which is why he donated a number of acres to Delhi Township for a park in remembrance of his son, Glen.
Allan was a member of Our Savior's Lutheran Church and the August Donner American Legion Post 309 in Belview. He loved telling stories and spending time with his children, grandchildren and friends. Allan was known to his loved ones for his generosity, humor, wit, perseverance, and tall tales, among many other things. He had continuously been resilient and positive despite the various tragedies he endured.
Allan is lovingly remembered by his wife Darlene of Delhi; children Cathy Zimmerli of Delhi, Douglas Zimmerli of Tucson, Ariz., Tammy Nichols of Bloomington, Ind., and Joyce (Randy) Panitzke of Redwood Falls. He is also survived by his grandchildren Braxton Eischens, Chris, Megan, Michael, and Shelby Panitzke, and Levi and Paige Nichols; great-grandchildren Ava Ochs/Panitzke, and Riley Robinson; sister Janice Johnson of Ottertail; and many nieces, nephews, and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, sister June, brother Floyd, son Glen and grandson Tyler.
Blessed be his memory.

Many thanks to our wonderful arts and crafts vendors and our sponsors for making the 2015 Brockport Arts Festival a success. The 2016 show is already underway with applications coming in every day. Please remember that, for arts and crafts vendors, you can save $25 by applying before March 15, 2016. For 2016, the Festival will be returning to Brockport's business district. Some of our vendors requested this move, as well as the Main Street stores. We are currently developing an exciting events schedule to draw the maximum number of people to the village all through the weekend. We are hoping to have the Classic Car Cruise-In again on College Street, and a full schedule of music and other entertainment at Brockport's historic Morgan-Manning House, with good food nearby. The Wine Garden and Sagawa Park stage, along with the accompanying food court will occupy the center of the Festival. Then, to the north will be more space for vendors, more food, and a large area by the Erie Canal for beer tasting and entertainment. We are also working toward making the canal a center of activity. More details will follow as they are finalized. Do not miss this show!
Thank you to all of our very talented Arts vendors! The show would not go on without you!
Brockport Arts Festival Exhibitors Winners Video
Friendly Reminders
Vendor applications are being taken now through May 31, with the Early Bird Deadline on March 15. Although most categories will not reach a maximum size, the most popular, such as Jewelry, will. Applicants for those categories need to send theirs in as soon as possible in order not to be excluded. Applications for 2016 are listed at the bottom of this page. Just click on the one you need, and it can be downloaded to your computer. It is very important for vendors who are new to our show to include at least three pictures, two of their work and one of them working, so the jurying committee can make its recommendation. We would like to encourage all artisans who have been with us in the past to join us again as pre-juried vendors. Musicians or musical groups who are interested in performing at our show should send an email to the address on the "About" page and include a web link for your work, or send a sample to BAF Music, PO Box 197, Brockport, NY 14420. We will be running two stages all day Saturday and Sunday during the festival.

- 2 (250 g) filet of beef or 2 (250 g) porterhouse steaks or 2 (250 g) sirloin steaks
- olive oil, spray
- salt
- black pepper, freshly cracked
- Remove beef from the fridge for about 10 minutes or bring it to room temperature.
- Spray olive oil cooking spray all over the pan and then heat pan until its hot.
- Season with salt and pepper to your liking and add beef to the pan. Cook one side of the beef until red juices appear, spray olive oil on the raw side and turn beef. Cook other side to your liking. Only turn beef once!
- Serve the beef straight from the pan with the salad or vegetables.
- Enjoy.
- Note: To get the kriss-cross effect on the steak, lift steak and move it the opposite way allow to cook a further few minutes, then turn the steak the raw side, remember only turn beef once but moving it twice on the same side is OK if you want the kriss-cross effect.
- Stages of cooking steak:.
- Blue rare or very rare - Cooked very quickly, the outside is seared, but the inside is usually cool and still raw. (Cook to about 46°C inside).

Great, precise instructions. For Aussie Swap.
This technique gave me my first perfectly marked steaks. Just gorgeous. I had no idea that oiling the "second side" of a steak could make such a difference. I used my cast-iron grill pan (inexpensive but works beautifully) and a rib steak. I am happy I tagged this!
I make the same thing now and then. I use a KitchenAid stainless-steel grill pan over a screamin' hot fire for just a couple of minutes on each side, for medium-rare. Comes out perfectly every time. The pan was expensive (~$100) but worth every dime. Cleans up just fine in the dishwasher. Sometimes I marinate the steak (usually filet mignon, sometimes DelMonico), but usually just olive oil spray, sea salt, and black pepper. That's almost impossible to ruin.

Spring and fall bring many gardening activities that keep us busy, one of which is dividing and planting perennials. Iris provide one of the few exceptions to the common recommendation to divide in the spring and fall. Iris are best divided now, or even in August, giving us one less chore for the other seasons.
Iris are very popular and have about 300 species in the Iris genus. Most bloom in the spring or summer. Some, however, are remontant, which means they will bloom in more than one season. These will bloom early and again in the fall, if the weather conditions are satisfactory. Often the fall blooms are not quite as numerous. While there are many different types of Iris, the more commonly seen in Amarillo are the bearded, with some people also growing beardless and Dutch to a lesser extent. Most of the rebloomers are bearded.
Bearded irises come in many colors and sizes from about 8 inches tall to about 27 inches tall. Most have multiple flowers on each stem. In addition to these features although the ideal soil is neutral to slightly acidic, they thrive in our alkaline soil and dry conditions. In fact, bearded iris rhizomes are planted on the surface of the ground, not in the ground. The rhizomes should be planted on a mound of soil with the roots covered by soil and the top of the rhizome exposed. If mulched, it should be lightly to prevent moisture from rotting the rhizome.
Beardless iris rhizomes are planted just below the surface of the ground. Dutch irises are bulbs, not rhizomes and are planted like other bulbous plants. All should be divided and planted now.
I have irises in several of my garden beds. One bed gets absolutely no water other than rainfall and a bit of spray from watering the grass when the wind is right. They thrive and bloom reliably every year with no attention from me other than to trim the dead leaves and bloom stalks from the plants. I have heard of people dividing their irises and throwing the old and rotten ones into the alley to compost only to find that they rooted and bloomed without even being planted. If that's not a perfect plant for our area, then I don't know what might be.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
The world's first Snoopy Museum, dedicated to the work of Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz, opens this weekend in Tokyo.
A satellite of the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center, the Snoopy Museum will feature original art by Schulz, beginning with "My Favorite Peanuts," an exhibition of 60 strips selected by his wife Jean Schulz.
At long last the threshold has been met for California to produce official Snoopy license plates, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the state's museums and zoos.
Begun in 2010 by the California Association of Museums, the effort required California residents to preorder 7,500 plates before the Department of Motor Vehicles would go into production. With that goal achieved, any drivers interested in purchasing the plates have only until Friday to complete their orders orders. That's when the information is handed to the DMV.
Sixty-five years ago today, good ol' Charlie Brown strolled across the comics page, blissfully unaware that he was the subject of Shermy's admiration and scorn. "Oh, how I hate him!" exclaimed the little boy, who would be all but forgotten in later years.
However, readers didn't hate Charlie Brown, and eventually Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts grew from just nine newspapers to, at its peak, more than 2,600. Just two days after the strip's debut, Schulz added Snoopy, followed over the next few years by Violet, Schroeder, Lucy, Linus and Pig-Pen, characters that, unlike Shermy and the original Patty, that have stood the test of time.
Move over, DC Comics Super Hero Cafe, Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the gang are opening their own restaurant in Tokyo, just in time for the 65th anniversary of Peanuts.
According to Rocket News24, the simply named Peanuts Cafe — "It's not eating, it's dining" — will feature an "American West Coast" theme, with a rustic, relaxing atmosphere. Judging by images of some of the dishes, "rustic" is the perfect description, with Beagle Scout S'Mores served in a little cast-iron skillet, and Goose Egg Sliders (a reference to Charlie Brown's baseball team) presented with a basket of fries.
Comic strips | Reflecting on Charles M. Schulz's long-running Peanuts, Kevin Wong lays much of the blame for the comic strip's slow decline at the feet of the increasingly popular Snoopy: "[N]ear the end of the 60s and well into the 70s, the cracks started to show. Snoopy began walking on his hind legs and using his hands, and that was the beginning of the end for the strip. Perhaps he was technically still a dog, but in a very substantial way, Snoopy had overcome the principal struggle of his existence. His opposable thumbs and upward positioning meant that for all intents and purposes, he was now a human in a dog costume. One of his new roleplays was to be different Joes — Joe Cool, Joe Skateboard, etc." [Kotaku]
To celebrate Snoopy's birthday (and promote the upcoming animated feature), the producers of The Peanuts Movie have released a video in which director Steve Martino shows us out to draw everyone's favorite beagle.
Why Aug. 10, when the character's first appearance was on Oct. 4, 1950? It dates back to a 1968 Peanuts storyline by Charles M. Schulz, in which Snoopy is awakened by Linus in the middle of the night for a "secret mission" that turns out to be a surprise party. Peanuts.com re-ran that series just last week.
If you spot the famed World War I Flying Ace soaring over the San Diego Convention Center this week, you probably aren't imagining things.
Inspired by the trailer for The Peanuts Movie, Otto Dieffenbach of Flyguy Promotions created a custom remote-controlled quadcopter to send Snoopy — atop his doghouse — flying through the air. Dieffenbach said he first flew Snoopy in February, but has kept the drone relatively under wraps for months, in preparation for its big debut at Comic-Con International.
With time running out, the campaign to put Snoopy on a California license plate is still about 2,500 orders short.
Begun in 2010 by the California Associations of Museums, the effort is now down to the wire: Saturday is the deadline for the 7,500 preorders required for the Department of Motor Vehicles to begin production on the plate, which features Snoopy as drawn by creator Charles M. Schulz and the slogan "Museums Are For Everyone." So far, about 5,000 orders have been placed.
Sixty-four years ago today, the beloved and influential Peanuts debuted in nine newspapers with a four-panel strip that set the tone for the future of "good ol' Charlie Brown," introduced through the words of Shermy, who admits his hatred for him.
Things didn't get any better for the round-headed boy in the second installment, in which Patty (no, not Peppermint Patty) punches him in the eye. Snoopy doesn't arrive until the third, but Schulz ensured the faithful companion wouldn't make life much cheerier for Charlie Brown over the course of the 17,894 strips that followed.
The story that broke Wednesday in the Los Angeles Times rocked social media, and had a lot of people questioning whether everything they know is wrong: Hello Kitty isn't a cat.
Anthropologist Christine Yano received the news when she was writing the annotations for a Hello Kitty show at the Japanese American National Museum:
That's one correction Sanrio [the owners of Hello Kitty] made for my script for the show. Hello Kitty is not a cat. She's a cartoon character. She is a little girl. She is a friend. But she is not a cat. She's never depicted on all fours. She walks and sits like a two-legged creature. She does have a pet cat of her own, however, and it's called Charmmy Kitty.
However, it turns out Hello Kitty isn't human, either. RocketNews 24 contacted Sanrio and got the straight dope, which comes down to a difference in terminology: Hello Kitty is a 擬人化 (gijinka), which they translate as "a personification or anthropomorphization" — like Mickey Mouse or, in a parallel some have drawn, like the pipe in René Magritte's The Treachery of Images. They further added that Hello Kitty does indeed have a mouth, it's just not drawn (most of the time, anyway).
Welcome to Best of 7, where we talk about, as it says above, "The best in comics from the last seven days" — which could be anything from an exciting piece of news to a cool publisher's announcement to an awesome comic that came out. So without further ado, let's get to it …
Efforts that started back in 2010 to put Snoopy on license plates in California have hit a milestone — the special plates, featuring artwork by Charles Schulz, are now available for order. And once 7,500 have been ordered, the Department of Motor Vehicles will begin production.
The proceeds from the official Snoopy license plate will go toward a grant program administered by the California Cultural and Historical Endowment to support California's museums. The plates cost $50 for for a sequential plate or $98 for a personalized plate, with a portion of the higher fee also supporting programs to protect California's environment. If 7,500 plates aren't ordered in the first year (Rats!), you'll have the option to try again next year or have your money refunded.
If you live in California and want to help Snoopy hit the road, you can order your plate here.
No one needs to hear me speak of the virtues of Charles Schulz' s Peanuts, one of the greatest comic strips and one of the greatest long-form narrative works of art of any medium. Plenty of much smarter people who can communicate much more clearly and cleverly than I have already done that in plenty of different places.
And the fact that so many newspapers continue to re-run old strips of Schulz's so long after his death instead of filling that valuable (to cartoonists) space with something—anything—else is about as eloquent expression of the regard Schulz is held in as anything I could pound out in a few sentences here.
Do note that, when Schulz passed away, no descendant of his or hand-picked assistant/apprentice took over the strip for him—Peanuts not produced by Schulz was apparently judged so wrong it wouldn't even be attempted, better to just have folks re-read older strips than attempt new ones by someone else.
That was a big part of the reason I was so shocked when Boom Studios announced a new ongoing Peanuts comic book series on their Kaboom kids imprint. They had previously produced an original graphic novel based on a new animated special which itself was pieced together from Schulz strips—last spring's Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown—but this seemed like something pretty different. It wasn't a media tie-in or a one-off lark project, it was going to be something rather sustained.
We sometimes get so immersed in our little world of words and pictures that it can be difficult at times to remember that comics are part and parcel of the larger pop culture and, as such, could often be referenced in other medium, like films and pop songs.
With that in mind, and since I'm always fascinated by this sort of cross-pollination, I thought I'd make a quick (and by no means definitive) list of some songs based on or about some beloved comic book characters. As a self-imposed caveat, I tried to stay away from theme songs or film contributions, so as much as I love The Ramones' version of "Spider-Man," I'm keeping it off the list for that reason.
Oh, and don't forget to offer you're own picks in the comments section …
1. Evangeline by Matthew Sweet
Sure, anyone can make up a song about Superman or Wonder Woman, but if you really want to establish your nerd cred, you need to write a song about a comic book character so long-forgotten even serious fans would need ten minutes or so to scratch their heads before saying, "Oh yeah, her." So it was with Gen X songsmith Matthew Sweet, who penned a rather plaintive paen ("as sung by Johnny Six" the liner notes helpfully tell us) to the "sexy, killer vigilante nun" created by Chuck Dixon and Judith Hunt back in the heady days of the 1980s for Comico Comics. It's a rather irresistible song — arguably one of Sweet's best — as the singer looks at the figure he has placed on a pedestal and begs her to forget about all that "marriage to God" nonsense and give him the time of day, at least for a little bit. The fact that it features a really killer hook doesn't hurt matters much.
B-Side: It's not comics specifically, but the videos to Sweet's Girlfriend and I've Been Waiting contain snippets from the anime Space Adventure Cobra and Lum, respectively.
Threadless has a fetching new T-shirt aimed at spreading the word about the growing epidemic of dog owners who won't pick up after their pets. The shirt features various cartoon and comic strip dogs and their owners, um, doing their thing, including Snoopy and Charlie Brown, Scooby Doo and Shaggy, and Homer Simpson and Santa's Little Helper. If I ever had the urge to wear a shirt featuring dogs dropping a deuce, which I haven't, this would be the shirt for me.

For convenience sake the stuff used in ritual now is made from powdered eggshells. These Cascarilla cakes are used before, during, and sometimes even after any ritual working, and could definitely be considered a necessary part of the tradition. [Read more…]

I explicitly added
reject_unknown_client_hostname and several other reject rules to slow down SPAM in our server. So far that's working nicely.
However, there is an important client that keeps getting rejected by our mail server, either because there isn't a ptr record on their name server giving a valid hostname or because dns lookups are failing.
warning: 00.00.00.00: hostname 00.00.00.00.dynamic.isp.com verification failed: Name or service not known
In any case, before they get that fixed with their ISP, is there a way to allow only their IP in our postfix? I tried adding it to
mynetworks but it didn't work.

By Scout ReportsOctober 24, 2012
Fort Huachuca, AZ. - The Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation's 4th annual haunted house and hayride drew about 5,200 scare-a-holics according to Barbi Barnett, Non-appropriated Fund Support Division chief.
"This two-day event was a collective and massive effort by almost every division of FMWR," she said. This free event ran for five hours on both Friday and Saturday night.
Overseen by the special events team, this event included much more than just a haunted hayride along a trail of live action spooky scenes. It included a haunted house, Halloween movies, food, and a children's area with face painting, games and arts and crafts vendors.
"This was the 4th Annual Haunted Hayride, Barnett said. "Each year we make improvements to enhance the experience and make it easier on our Soldiers and Families. This year, we added timed rides using tickets, gated the parking area, expanded our Halloween movie area, improved food, and enhanced the Haunted House.
"All these changes were designed to mitigate lines. However, our attendance almost doubled [this year] with an estimated 5,200 [people] across both days. Although lines were long and all areas were crowded, we got repeated positive comments regaling our event as the best offered in the County. We also received continuous expressions of gratitude from our Soldiers and Families," Barnett said.

Care plan
Ever since she was a child, Rachael has known that she wanted to become a nurse. "I love taking care of people, and I love being able to share God's love with them," she says. Balancing her coursework with her commitment to the track team, Rachael is on pace toward realizing her dream of working at a children's hospital.
Mission minded
I chose Northwestern because of all that the nursing program has to offer and how all the classes are taught from a Christian perspective. I also ran track in high school I didn't want to quit, so when I was offered chance to run track at NWC, I knew this was where I was supposed to be. Most importantly, though, I chose to attend Northwestern because of the trip nursing students take to Tanzania. A dream of mine has always been to travel to Africa. When we left for Tanzania, I had no idea what to expect, but it ended up being beyond anything I could have ever imagined. We did a lot of medical mission wok while we were there, including providing outreach clinics, working at local hospitals and distributing medical supplies. It really opened my eyes to a lot of different things, and I would definitely describe it as a life-changing experience.
Good medicine
Being both a nursing major and an athlete can be very overwhelming, but I've learned that it's important to slow down, let go of your worries and trust in God. The nursing program puts a lot of emphasis on the importance of caring for patients with Christ-like compassion, which also enabled me to realize how important it is to trust in God when dealing with all of your struggles: both your patients' and your own.
Prescription for success
The nursing professors are great. It's easy to see that they know the subject matter very well. Because the nursing program is small, you really get to develop relationships with your professors. Knowing my professors on a more personal level has helped me a lot because I always feel comfortable asking for help.
