Good Points
WKD blue is a sweet potent drink that can be a stand by any night
Bad Points
It is not available in the U.S.
General Comments
WKD Blue is an excellent drink that makes any night more fun. Granted the bartender may call it blue turpentine but that's because he can only handle his weak beer and not this much stronger malt beverage. Try it the next time you are out, and if you don't like it pass it to me.

Quote of the Day
"All these deals are crazy, but if you don't offer 10 years, you don't get to sign the player. So these teams just now basically assume that they're going to be screwed in the last couple of years. But if you don't go crazy, then you don't have Albert Pujols."-- Chicago Tribune reporter Teddy Greenstein, on the Angels' 10-year, $254M deal for Pujols. ("Chicago Tribune Live," Comcast SportsNet Chicago, 12/8)

Jo Morrison's PhD is concerned with making our future smart cities more pleasurable to inhabit. Exploring the synthesis of new technologies and advanced materials in outdoor public space, she has developed resources for material-centred interaction design research and practice (the Experiential Framework and the Conceptual Materials for Design Research). The resources are intended to co-exist with established design research methods and emerging approaches. As part of her investigation, Jo studied multidisciplinary hybrid processes in contemporary design culture, as well as producing the Urban Interaction Design Workshop for artists, designers and engineers to test and inform her research findings.
Jo worked at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, between 2008-2015. As Digital Projects Director she investigated ways in which technologies can provide new approaches to learning and teaching in art and design higher education. She initiated and led 'Researching Learning', a two-year multidisciplinary project concerned with digital culture, digital literacy, and new forms of knowledge production; insights from which informed institutional strategies, policies and practices. Jo also identified and directed numerous creative collaborations for CSM, led technology enhanced learning initiatives and managed the University's cultural engagement with the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
In an earlier stage of her career Jo was founding Creative Director of Futurelab, a leading educational research and development organisation that explored how the creative use of new and emerging technologies could enable innovative approaches to education. Here, she collaborated with artists, technologists, educators, young people and scientists to imagine and build prototypes designed to inform systemic change in education.
Jo aims to create socially meaningful concepts that afford creative and critical engagement with technologies and motivate action towards better futures. She has initiated and led multiple interdisciplinary projects in the UK and internationally, and collaborated with organisations including the V&A Museum, Microsoft Research, Wellcome Trust, MIT Media Lab, BBC, UK Sport, Pearson, and the Royal Shakespeare Company. Jo also enjoyed working for a number of years with broadcasters, including the BBC and ITV, as well as start-up and established technology companies.

PREVIOUSLY: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart do "the bed stuff."
Kristen Stewart was on top.
In a 12-month period, from May 2011 to May 2012, the star earned $34.5 million, more than any other actress in Hollywood, Forbes reported. About $25 million of her earnings came from the back-to-back Breaking Dawn movies.
Another sizable paycheck came from Snow White and the Huntsman.
The adventure was to be, after a couple of indies, The Runaways and Welcome to the Rileys, Stewart's highest-profile film since covering up in Bella Swan's hoodies. The budget was big, reportedly in the neighborhood of $170 million.
The costars, chiefly Oscar winner Charlize Theron and Thor and The Avengers' Chris Hemsworth, were big. The stakes were big, too—"If my non-Twilight movies weren't accepted that is something I would hate more than the fact I can't go into Starbucks without being recognized," Stewart was reported to have told Germany's OK!
The actress was up for the challenge. Weeks before the shoot began in August 2011, she told a San Diego Comic-Con panel that she was drawn to the movie by the script's unexpected take on a fairy-tale character.
"Rupert also," Stewart said of Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, who was making his feature-film debut. "I had a good meeting with him."
Summit Entertainment
Bride and Groom
One of the first scenes in Breaking Dawn Part 1 was one of the last to be shot: the wedding of Bella and Edward.
"I wanted to remember it as an experience to treasure," Stewart told USA Today at the film's red-carpet premiere in November 2011, "without any neurotic actor-y weirdness."
His on-screen bride "looked amazing," Robert Pattinson told MTV.
Offscreen, Stewart's and Pattinson's every move continued to be scrutinized. With a stray magazine quote from Stewart unofficially officially confirming a romantic relationship, the tabloid press moved onto whispers that the couple was "growing apart," or that Pattinson was "dump[ing]" Stewart.
As always, the saga only seemed to drive interest in the franchise. Breaking Dawn Part 1 dominated the 2011 holiday box office, grossing more than $700 million worldwide.
For their part, Stewart said she and Pattinson were fine. "We're not haunted by fame or the franchise," she told U.K.'s Metro. "But it is amazing to think that so many people care so much about what happens."
Stewart and Pattinson were nearly home free.
In the summer of 2012, with the final reshoots on Breaking Dawn Part 2 completed, the pair was marking celebrations and milestones, at Pattinson's London birthday bash, at their final Twilight panel at Comic-Con (where London's Daily Mail noted Stewart flashed a "rare smile"), at the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles.
In an interview with Blackbook magazine, Pattinson confessed that Stewart "has always done something to me that others haven't."
Then, on July 24, Us Weekly published week-old photos of Stewart and Snow White director Sanders "caught in a steamy rendezvous."
Stewart and Pattinson were no longer home free.
NEXT—OUR FINAL CHAPTER: As the Twilight franchise ends, Stewart and Pattinson break apart—and come together.

My daughter first attended Gymbaroo when she was 3 months old and continued until she finished the School Readiness program. The staff and program were outstanding. I certainly credit Gymbaroo for establishing good foundations for my daughter to have a successful transition to schooling, both in the classroom and for sports. We love Gymbaroo and would highly recommend the Joondalup centre to all parents.
We have been very lucky to have attended classes at the Joondalup centre for many years with our 3 children. Each child has completed the full course of Gymbaroo and our youngest graduated 2016. During a teacher parent interview the teacher commented on how well adjusted to Kindy she was and how she followed instructions, would sit quietly, ask questions and pay attention appropriately. The teacher suggested her exposure to the Gymbaroo program had enabled her smooth transition into the school learning environment. The teachers and staff at the Joondalup centre have all been fantastic in caring for my children and guiding them in their development. Although my children didn't meet typical developmental milestones this was no hindrance and the program enabled us to work on the areas they needed to strengthen. I highly recommend Joondalup Gymbaroo to other families.

The Babymakers
Paul Schneider lifts this gross-out comedy about having children above its immature jokes by bringing a bit of class
A gross-out comedy about reproduction, which uses spilt sperm samples in the same way that earlier, more innocent movies used banana skins, The Babymakers somehow manages to rise above its many masturbation jokes. The trump card here is the casting of Paul Schneider as Tommy, a husband who discovers that his potency has deserted him, just when he needs it most. He decides to steal back the sperm he donated a few years before. Schneider (Bright Star, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford) is an actor cut from the same cloth as Paul Rudd, bringing just a little class to this energetically silly picture. Jay Chandrasekhar, 15 (95min)

Non-profit branding, it's personal.
At first, the words "non-profit" and "branding" don't seem to fit together, or at least they didn't used to. A difficult conundrum for nonprofits is the juxtaposition of wanting to create a unique identity, but not wanting to look 'branded' – or polished. That fear stems from the idea that "if it looks good, it's expensive." Or in the case of a non-profit, "if it looks good, it looks like we don't need any money."
Through our experience working with non-profits, we are learning this is not the case anymore. At a time when for-profit organizations are taking a more transparent approach to their business, non-profits are realizing the value of a professionally developed brand. It's easy to explain the value of a good, consistent brand, but what is really most important is the emotional feeling that the non-profit exudes – it's got to grab its audience by the heart and rein them in.
Rather than conveying this feeling in the old grassroots kind of way, the new trend is to convey it in a very professional, branded, yet personal manner. Audiences have become so sophisticated that they expect a refined brand – and they will trust your organization more because of it. A professional, yet personal brand image will help to better articulate your message, engage donors and activity, and raise awareness and money. If a good, solid brand can visually and verbally articulate emotion to your audience, your non-profit will be successful. When rethinking or even beginning to think about branding a non-profit, don't think polished. Think personal.
To learn more about branding your non-profit and see examples of how it's done, sign up to see thinkPARALLAX Creative Director, Guusje Bendeler speak at San Diego AMA's 2013 Cause Conference. http://bit.ly/X8iY6F
Great post, Guusje! I couldn't agree with you more. Looking forward to your presentation at the Cause Conference.

I loved being a Nun! I got to change my name from Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu to Sister Teresa. I was going to call myself Therese for Saint Therese but another Sister chose that. After I completed my training to be a Nun, my order went to Calcutta, India to teach some of the local children, it was so much fun! During that time I saw a lot of the local slums where the poor lived. I started my own Order and called it the Order of the Missionaries of Charity.

I started my own order of Nuns (Missionaries for Charity) and that was a huge success! I've been the cover of
Time Magazine
(twice!!). Another accomplishment of mine was earning the Nobel Peace Prize! I've had a movie made about me, Mother Teresa of Calcutta. A quote of mine is, "I am serving the King of the whole world," which I said to my brother as he left for the army and was boasting. I am happy to say my faith in God started on young and I 'm happy to be sitting next to him now.
Wow! I've been watching these guy's! They totally rock with live music!
#mustsee #keepthefaith #love #yay!
Surprisingly, I got to go to school even though I'm a girl because of all the important connections my father had. After my father died, :'( I went to church very often and soon found faith in God. After I graduated high school I left with to join an order of Nuns.

The finance ministry has given us in-principle guarantee to raise Rs 2,000 crore as short-term loan from banks for which we expect the paper work to be completed very soon, confirmed a senior official to FE. The loan will be paid back once the infusion from the government comes through, the official said, adding that equity infusion is now likely only in the next fiscal.
Banking sources confirmed that five PSU banks will lend out the Rs 2,000 crore to Air India at an average cost of close to 12%. However, large lenders like State Bank of India and Central Bank of India will not be part of the consortium as they already have significant exposure to the airline.
While bank funding may partly substitute the funds that AI was to receive from the government, it will further stretch the airline's highly leveraged balance sheet.
There will be additional interest liabilities of about Rs 300-350 crore as a result of the short-term loan. We have already requested the government to take cognisance of this when they release funds, added the official.
The Cabinet had approved a Turnaround Plan (TAP) in 2012 for the state-owned-airline under which the government is to infuse over Rs 30, 000 crore in the airline over a period of nine years starting from 2012-13.
However, just 18 months after that plan was approved, Air India has recently gone back to the government, asking it to re-evaluate the TAP, said the official.
The TAP, which was conceived in 2011, took into account the then value of rupee which was close to Rs 45 /$ as compared to the current Rs 61-62/$ . This along with a hike in ATF costs which has increased by over 15% since 2012 has adversely affected the airline.
Air India's currently earns about 40-45% of its revenue in dollars terms while 65% of its expenditure is in dollars. Since 2011, we have lost around Rs 250 crore a year on the account of rupee depreciation, while the rise in the ATF costs has affected us by another Rs 350-400 crore during the last two years, the official said.
This left us with no options but to ask the government to re-evaluate the TAP, he added.
Air India currently has over Rs 39,000 crore debt. This includes long-term loans of Rs 17,000 crore, short-term working capital loans of Rs 4,000 crore and aircraft-related debt of Rs 18,000 crore.

Lightly Seasoned: Employees at a local Food Lion called police after a man stole from the store without ever leaving. The reporting person told officers that the suspect picked up a pack of watermelon chunks, multiple plums and salt and pepper shakers. The man then went into the bathroom and snacked out for a little while. When he finally emerged — without the items — he was detained by store security.
Hanging Out: A 20-year-old man called police last week after he came home to find some unwelcome guests at his house. The man told officers that he pulled up to his south Charlotte apartment and saw three suspects hanging from the balcony of his home. Perhaps they were gearing up for the Olympic's gymnastics tryouts.
Spawn of Satan: A 63-year-old foster mother called police last week after one of the children in her care turned out to be a bit of a bad seed. The woman told officers that the child had been placed into her custody temporarily due to an emergency situation. While staying with her, the child threatened to kill her and her dog. He also damaged property, including breaking the drawers to a dresser.
Family Matters: Police responded to a domestic disturbance in west Charlotte last week when a man became violent while arguing with some family members. The man's 24-year-old sister told officers that he kicked her and hit her with a broom during the argument. When the siblings' father tried to step in and break things up, the man hit his dad over the head with a brick.
Spider-man: A man was arrested in the downtown area last week after some of his stuntman moves failed while he was evading arrest. Police said that the man was running away when he attempted to jump from one level of the parking garage they were in to another. He made it successfully but then jumped into the rear window of someone's Chevrolet Caprice. He was quickly apprehended as his getaway driver refused to act as an accomplice.
Yuppie Fail: In "Why Are You Filing a Report" news, police responded to an injury call in north Charlotte last week after a 21-year-old man cut his hand. The victim told officers that he applied too much pressure to his wine glass, and it shattered.
Threats of the Week: A 20-year-old woman filed a police report after a suspect told her, "I'm going to whoop your ass, and I don't give a shit about you being pregnant. I'm going to whoop that baby out of you, bitch." An 18-year-old woman called police after receiving a call from another woman who said, "I'm gonna come beat your ass and rip all the piercings out of your face."
Blotter items are chosen from the files of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.

I've decided to stick with Ideal Protein instead of transitioning to the Atkins Diet for mainly one reason.
In the past I would start on a diet and then think I could change it up into something new and keep losing weight and then I would just royally mess the whole thing up.
I didn't realize this until after I said I would transition to Atkins and then it hit me. I'm repeating old patterns and I said I would stay with Ideal Protein until I got to goal. So, I'm sticking to what I said I was going to do and fulfill my goal using the Ideal Protein protocol program.
My Naturopath wants me to eat more whole foods, and I'm doing that on the Ideal Protein protocol, but I do still eat some of the packets of Ideal Protein and Ideal Protein alternative foods.
I only have 35 more lbs to lose until I meet goal so not too much longer and I can phase off of Ideal Protein and back onto all whole foods.
Though I've been on this weight loss journey for 36 weeks now – you would think that I'm as strong as ever about temptations. For the most part I am, but I can tell that my mind is getting tired of this weight loss and I'm ready to be done.
I know that even this – mind being tired – is part of the journey and something I need to meditate on and move through.
Thanks for the support everyone. It really means a lot to me when you send me comments, suggestions, and love!

South Park upends West Seneca East
There was a Gatorade bath on the sidelines, and there was a big celebration when the final horn sounded.
Yes, it is still the regular season – but this was that big of a victory for South Park.
The Sparks clinched the Class A South championship on the field of the division's defending champion Friday night, using a strong defense and a playmaking offense to win at West Seneca East, 22-0, before an estimated 1,100.
"Overall, program-wise, it's just a signature win," said South Park coach Tim Delaney. "To beat the A South defending champs and the Section VI runners-up in Class A, it lets us know where we're at right now."
South Park (4-1) moved to 4-0 in Class A South with one league game to play, next week at Hamburg. Only West Seneca East (4-1, 3-1) can match South Park's four wins in A South play.
The win ensures the first Section VI playoff berth for South Park since it – like all Buffalo Public School programs – became part of the section in 2010, and it marks the first league championship for the Sparks since they won the city's Harvard Cup on Thanksgiving Day 2003.
"That's been our mentality here at South Park, just being a go-getting team," said senior wide receiver Brandon Jefferson, who caught a 25-yard third quarter touchdown as well as two two-point conversion passes from senior quarterback Tyler Mascio. "How bad do you want it? That's all we talk about every day. Go to practice, work hard, and come out for games like this and win big."
The South Park defense recorded its second straight shutout – last week it beat Lake Shore, 40-0 – prompting players to empty a water cooler over defensive coordinator Nick Todaro.
Offensively, the Sparks controlled the ball for most of the game, including nearly the entire first quarter. Mascio was 11 of 17 for 162 yards as he hit 6-foot, 175-pound Jefferson four times for 73 yards and 6-foot, 170-pound junior Antonio Leonard six times for 62.
South Park dominated on the ground behind senior running back Taron Scott (17 carries, 126 yards) and senior Laron Watkins (10-61), who both got good blocks up front, and also blocked for one another.
"We really got after it on the ground," said Delaney. "William and Willquan Burgess, standout linebackers – we put them at guards. They're very selfless players. They made a heck of a difference on the offensive line. T.J. Scott is a heck of a runner, and Laron Watkins is a heck of a runner – those guys are trading carries and blocking for each other."
The Sparks established control of the game early, owning the time of possession for all but three West Seneca East plays in the first quarter. The Sparks drove the length of the field on their opening drive but were stopped on fourth and goal. South Park had a similarly long drive that lasted into the second quarter and ended with a 1-yard run by Scott on fourth-and-goal.
The defense supplied the next touchdown to give South Park a 16-0 halftime lead. On a third-and-long play deep in WSE territory, William Burgess hit senior quarterback Devin Lindner as he threw, leading to a free ball that sophomore Austin Neal picked off and returned 22 yards for a touchdown.
The very fast Sparks defense rarely allowed West Seneca East in its half of the field. The Burgess brothers, both juniors, combined for 17 tackles while Mascio and Leonard also had interceptions.
By clinching the A South title, one of three Class A divisions, South Park assures itself of one of the top three seeds in the Class A playoffs.
"I think that the kids really understand now and they see the playoffs are here," Delaney said. "They see the goal that we've been talking about: Trying to get to The Ralph, trying to be the first city team to get to The Ralph, and they see that that's around the corner."

Dreaming of Heavenly Sleep? 10 Luxury Upgrades for Creating The Ultimate Bed
For most of us, our bedrooms are our haven, but have you ever wished that you could sleep in an absolutely heavenly bed? Like those you can only find in a luxury suite at a five-star hotel? Try personalizing one of these ten upgrades in your own bedroom to create your own ultimate bed!
10. Start by choosing that all-important bed frame and headboard to match your own personal style. You can follow the latest design trends, or stay classic – do you go for Mad Men/mid-century modern? Rococo/King Louis ornate? Cape Cod/beach cottage? You can even create headboards yourself. Choose something that makes you happy to see as you turn in each night.
9. Hire a feng shui master (or you can read up on it and do it yourself) to place your bed in the perfect spot for optimum sleep health. Among other tips, they recommend you don't place your bed under a window, or in line with the bedroom door. And definitely make your bed, as an unmade bed can stagnate and erode your chi (cosmic energy or power) – all the more reason to get a comforter in a duvet cover for easy bed-making.
8. Stating the obvious – be sure to purchase a quality mattress. Don't skimp, and your back will thank you. You can find mattresses made of everything from traditional cotton/polyester, to all wool, to memory foam and latex – you can probably even still find waterbeds if you're really feeling retro. Take an in-store test drive before committing to a purchase.
7. Protect your investment by using bedding protectors. Having spent a bundle on a quality bedding products, they're a no brainer for helping to prevent general wear and tear, as well as protecting from coffee/wine spills or other stains. Bedding protectors also will help keep out dust mites and other nasties such as bed bugs.
6. Amp up your mattress with a luxurious mattress pad or featherbed – these are not your grandmother's – and you can find one to match your personal preference in everything, from 100% Egyptian cotton to cozy down and feather, to breathable wool fleece and even super soft fabric made from bamboo.
How to Choose a Mattress Pad
5. Take the time to find superior quality sheets – it's not all about the thread count (even the local big box stores can offer high thread count) – it's about the raw materials and weave too. Look for high quality 100% cotton sateen, percale or batiste, or even fine linen sheets. And why stop at white? You can find all colors of the rainbow, classic stripes to wild jungle prints, and even intricately embroidered sheets to give your decor some personality.
4. Don't forget about the blankets – they're often overlooked as a style element, but you can not only enjoy a soft, cozy blanket, but also find one that looks great on the bed, in fabrics from 100% cotton weave to pure silk or cashmere. Blankets are versatile and perfect for any season – you can purchase thicker blankets in wool, cotton fleece or flannel for winter warmth, or lightweight cotton or silk, perfect for summer.
3. Go for Euro-style. Like so many high-end hotels, you can simply use a comforter plus a duvet cover to top your bed – no top sheet necessary. Comforters are an investment well worth the expense – and you can use them throughout the year and in almost any climate. Choose based on "fill power" – the higher the fill power of a down comforter, the larger and better quality of the materials inside. You can find superior quality at good value starting at 600 fill power, but for the deluxe bedroom, go top of the line with a featherweight 800 or 100 fill power down comforter. Slip your comforter into a fine fabric duvet cover, which you can switch up to change your entire bedroom's look for the season or whenever the mood strikes you. Many comforters include convenient loops and duvet covers have ties, so your comforter stays securely in place.
How to put a duvet cover on your comforter
2. There's no better luxury than a plethora of pillows. Why have just one, when you can create your own pillow menu, like some of the finer hotels. You can choose the pillow you're in the mood for – a supremely fluffy overfilled down or synthetic pillow or a supportive gusseted pillow. If you have particular health needs, such as neck pain, or acid reflux, you can even find specialty pillows to help, even a temperature-regulating pillow for those hot nights!
1. Finally, to top off your ultimate bed – no bed is fully dressed without some bling! Much like adding jewelry or a tie to your favorite outfit, as a final touch, don't forget to accessorize your bed with decorative pillows and shams, and perhaps a bed scarf or throw. You can go wild, adding warmth and style with a luxuriously soft faux fur throw – this is one time where you get to choose whether less is more, or you want to go all out with décor.

Children never run out of questions
The regional consultation for the UN Study on Violence Against Children in Europe & Central Asia again proved this fact. After two days of preparation and another two day at the main conference in the Slovenian capital Ljubljana, 24 children and young people today had a chance to meet with UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Rima Salah, UNICEF Regional Director for the CEE/CIS and Baltics, Maria Calivis, and the independent expert leading the study, Prof. Paulo Sergio Pinheiro.Pinheiro, who had already met with the children once two days ago, opened the round of questions, asking them how they will try to make a difference when they return to their countries. Gleb (14) from Belarus said: "I will share the experience with my friends at home. And I will try to get an interview with radio and TV stations in Belarus, because I think it's very important to reach a big number of people with this important message." Milos (16), from Serbia-Montenegro, added that "it was great to finally be recognized and heard at such a high level. It was very informative as well and I will spread all the new info with my peers at home".
Rima Salah, UNICEF Deputy Executive Director, reassured the young people that their participation in the UN study was of vital importance: "You gave this whole conference a human face", said Salah. "You are the best people to tell us what is really happening and we want you to help us stop violence against children."
Martin (17) from Slovenia used the opportunity to criticize the government of his country: "We had a 90-minute Act Now!-session yesterday and nobody from Slovenia was their to answer our questions. As the host country of the regional consultation, I thought they would be there to listen to us… Also, in the other sessions, many adult talked for 10-15 minutes and could have said the same in about a minute or so."
Cassie (17) from England saw more positive developments, saying, "We have made huge progress against violence, especially in terms of youth participation". Katarina (15) from Slovenia asked the UNICEF representatives as well as Prof. Pinheiro to "make the Convention on the Rights of the Child available to every child in the region. There should also be more volunteers to promote the CRC and child rights should be taught in our schools."
The final remark was made by Maneh, a 16-year old girl from the Armenian capital Yerevan. She said: "It was great being here and I am sure I will miss you all when I go back home. But I wish all problems were of this kind – because if we miss each other, then we truly love each other!"

Helenendorf Celebrates 100 Years of Existence – A Look into the Past (Part 1)
"Helenendorf Celebrates 100 Years of Existence – A Look into the Past (Part 1)." Volk auf dem Weg, July 2013, 35-36
Translation from the original German-language text to American English is provided by Alex Herzog, Boulder, CO.
"Situated on the North slope of the Lesser Caucasus, there is a romantic and lovely site, a German presence, a genuine German village that once took root among wild tribes in far-off Asia … There it lay, at the foot of that wonderful mountain chain, picturesque and not unlike a German or Swiss mountain village. It was the German colony of Helenendorf, a town that under Russian rule has developed mightily in recent times. … There we spent some pleasant and interesting days among some terrific members of our German tribe."
That is how Hans Hermann Graf von Schweinitz, the noted researcher and traveler of Africa and Asia, expressed it all in his book published in 1910, Helenendorf. Eine deutsche Kolonie im Kaukasus [Helenendorf. A German Colony in the Caucasus]. (Subsequently referred to as Bibliographical Listing 1.)
I wish to introduce the article appearing below with a quote from page five of this small encyclopedia on Helenendorf. The sentence sounds quite like the beginning of a German fairy tale.
" …It was the Tuesday after Easter in 1819, about three quarters of a year after they had left their old homeland, when they set foot on the place that was to become their new home … they thereby founded a German colony, which would presently be given the name Helenendorf. …"
After many years of tough and effortful toil passed, despite everything, Helenendorf celebrated its fiftieth founding anniversary on April 22, 1869. In attendance were many guests from other colonies and representatives of the government in Elisabethpol. On this day, under the watchful direction of the chief of the Cossack regiment resident in the colony, cannon shots were fired to salute the occasion.
A small group of settlers had become a large, well organized community. With tenacious effort, the desolate steppe had been transformed into thriving vineyards and blooming fields of grain.
After another fifty years, the economy in Helenendorf continued to flourish and the prosperity of the Swabian settlement increased correspondingly. Still, its existence was frequently in doubt.
In 1905 the first Russian revolution broke out. The Cossacks, the protective shield of the colony, departed. A consequence of the revolution was a spate of Armenian-Tatar massacres with many victims and accompanying extortions perpetrated by the social-revolutionary party "Dashnakzutyun." An unfortunate employee of the "Vohrer" firm, who was unable to come up with demanded ransom money, was shot on the veranda of his house. With the permission of the Russian government, the Helenendorfers, in an attempt to put up a deterrent, organized a citizens' defense group (1, pp. 40-42.).
After the onset of World War I, Germans suddenly were transformed from former friends into new enemies. In every German settlement, the common outcry was "What is the Tsar going to do with us?"
The year 1915 brought the enactment of the liquidation of lands owned by Russian citizens of German nationality. Tens of thousands of German colonists in Poland, Volhynia and South Russia lost all their normal rights as citizens.
At the beginning of 1917, enforcement of the liquidation laws was to have begun in the Caucasus, and only the outbreak of the February Revolution averted this misfortune for the Germans in the South Caucasus. A terrible "storm," the destruction of German culture in the Russian Empire, had blown over.
On March 3, 1918 the Brest-Litovsk Pact between the German Empire and Russia was signed. One result of this pact was that Soviet Russia was to give official recognition to the Ukrainian People's Republic. A civil war ensued and, along with it, the dissolution of the Russian Empire.
The three trans-Caucasus countries of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan declared their independence from Russia, and in Azerbaijan a center of power calling itself the Massavat Government was formed.
At this point it should be mentioned that until the October revolution of 1917 the Cossacks had provided measure of order and security, but with the complete transfer of power they were forced to pull out.
By May 29, 1918 the first Turkish troops arrived in Helenendorf and, with them, security returned. Concurrently, as part of an agreement with the Georgian government, the "Kaiser's German Delegation," consisting of military unit of 3,000 men under the Bavarian general Friedrich Freiherr Kress von Kressenstein, was stationed in Tbilisi. Its success came as a surprise. The mere presence of these German troops in the country resulted in the return of calm and order, and in a renewed, hopeful flourishing of economic and cultural life, particularly for the urban Germans in the city and Gouvernement of Tbilisi.
A battalion of German troops from the Kress von Kressenstein mission arrived in Helenendorf in August, 1918, causing, the oppressed hearts of the Swabians to begin beating more quickly and in a more positive manner. Suddenly, the future looked so much safer as to encourage thoughts of celebrating the 100-year anniversary of the settlement's founding.
But like the flash of a meteor, this period passed quickly, leaving behind only unpleasant memories. The euphoria lasted a mere three months, and shortly after the collapse of the German Empire the German soldiers departed. Again the future loomed darkly.
At the time, the young Azerbaijan Republic (which existed from March, 1918 until May, 1920) was still in its initial development stage and held no real power. In the provinces, various well-armed tribes with their so-called Speks (tribal chiefs) caused a lot of mischief.
The Central Committee of Germans in the Trans-Caucasus formed a protective regiment from able-bodied colonist sons. The government approved and provided weapons and ammunition. This protective unit initially had its desired effect, but only for a brief time.
The year 1919 turned out to be the most troubled one in the Helenendorf area, particularly along the rail line between Tbilisi and Baku. Tatars and Armenians fought each other, with casualties on both sides reaching a total of 12,000.
Helenendorf did, however, reach its 100th anniversary in April of 1919. Despite instability, lack of security, and serious misgivings, the community decided to stage a delayed celebration. On June 3, 1919, Theodor Hummel, the leader of the Helenendorf community, received notice from the governor stating that "concerning the celebration in Helenendorf on the occasion of its 100th years of existence, there will be no impediments placed in your way on my part."
A session of delegates set June 9, 1919 as the date for the festivities, and immediate preparation efforts began. At the same time a research project on the history of the colony was commissioned, resulting in a manuscript entitled "History of the German Colony of Helenendorf in the South Caucasus." An extensive program was prepared, and the following invitation, written in Russian and German, was distributed in Helenendorf and other settlements:
"1819 – 1919. On behalf of the Helenendorf community, the honor of your presence at the celebration of one hundred years of existence of the Helenendorf colony on June 9 of this year and in that very colony, is requested by Mayor Robert Kuhn. Helenendorf, June, 1919."
The scheduled events included the following: a formal walk-around between 8 and 9 AM, a church service from 9 to 10 AM, reading of memorial citations between 10 AM and 1 PM, lunch for invited guests from 1 to 4 PM, viewing of an exhibition of school projects and of agricultural equipment between 4 and 5 PM, and singing and other musical presentations between 5 and 6 PM.
The July 3, 1919 issue of the "Caucasus Post" newspaper reported on all the festivities, citing the report's author as follows: "For HaBeGe, E. Wiederspan." A somewhat abbreviated version of the newspaper report follows:
"HELENENDORF. The celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the Swabian colony in the Trans-Caucasus proceeded here with the participation of the entire colony in a solemn and lofty manner, at times even under unfavorable weather conditions. The heavens, which had earlier been active almost constantly, on the night from the 8th to the 9th of June opened up with such heavy rainfall that the streets became very soft, and the success of the festivities was thereby made questionable."

Diamond edged by Peavy in pitchers' duel
Diamond edged by Peavy in pitchers' duel
But it was the offense that couldn't get it going against White Sox right-hander Jake Peavy on Wednesday afternoon.
Scott Diamond turned in another strong outing, but the lefty was outdueled by Peavy in a 3-2 loss to the White Sox at Target Field.
The defeat was Minnesota's second consecutive loss by one run, as the White Sox ended up taking the series after the Twins won the first game on Monday.
"We've been swinging good, but these guys have a pitching staff," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "That's the one thing with the [White Sox]. They have a good pitching staff and you're gonna face some tough pitchers. It doesn't matter who they throw out there."
Diamond, coming off his first career shutout, gave up three runs on eight hits over 7 1/3 innings. He also didn't walk a batter for the second straight outing and struck out three.
But Diamond exited the game in the eighth inning, when Alejandro De Aza hit a liner off his right thigh to score Tyler Flowers from third base. Diamond was at just 93 pitches before coming out due to the injury.
It turned out to be a big play, as it ended up being the game-winning hit for the White Sox, with Diamond's throw to home not in time.
"I think it caught me a little off-guard," said Diamond, who added his leg was fine after the game. "It affected my footing more than anything else. I looked up and saw Flowers halfway to home anyway. So I knew he was going to keep going and I rushed the throw a little bit."
The late one-run lead was enough for the White Sox, with Peavy going eight strong innings. Peavy surrendered two runs (one earned) on five hits. He also struck out eight and walked two.
"His fastball's very sneaky," Twins third baseman Danny Valencia said. "It gets on you. He can throw all three of his pitches for strikes, so that makes it even tougher. He did a really good job today."
Chicago took an early advantage, scoring in the first inning on a sacrifice fly from Adam Dunn after De Aza led off the game with a single, stole second and reached third on a groundout from Kevin Youkilis.
The Twins came right back with a run in the first, as Joe Mauer brought home Ben Revere with an RBI groundout after Revere doubled and reached third on an errant pickoff throw from Peavy.
Minnesota took the lead in the second on Valencia's second homer of the year. The solo shot came on a 1-2 count and was Valencia's first homer since April 23.
But the White Sox tied the score in the fifth, when Flowers beat out a potential double play to allow Alex Rios to score from third.
The Twins had a chance to tie it up in the eighth with runners at the corners and two outs after Youkilis made an error on a grounder hit by Revere. But Peavy got Mauer to fly out to left field to end the scoring threat.
"Joe Mauer is Joe Mauer, and this guy is hitting .330 -- you don't want him up in a situation like that," Peavy said. "Decided to stay hard in and try to get him to hit the ball in the air, and fortunately we were able to do that."
Minnesota had another prime chance in the ninth with Brian Dozier at the plate with runners at second and third and two outs against closer Addison Reed.
But Dozier flied out to center to end the game to give the Twins a 4-2 record on their six-game homestand against the Indians and White Sox, with both losses coming by one run.
"We've been playing well," Mauer said. "It's a good ballclub over there. I think we were in every game. Obviously, we got that first one, but we easily could have won these last two, also. That's what good teams do is battle it out and find a way to win."

Useless product, would not recommend
By Taylor
from Columbus, Ohio
Comments about AWT Safe-T-Wash Screen Wash-Up:
I purchased this product thinking it would remove the ink/ghost images from my screens because the description clearly states "A special blend of cleaning solutions that meet standards for safe and effective cleaning of all inks used in the screen printing process."The product arrived dented and the lid could not be removed without significant force. I looked for directions on the label for insight on the best way to use and dispose of this product. The directions on the label tell you to visit the manufacturer website for information on the proper use of this product. However, when visiting the manufacture website I found no information on how to properly use this product other than the fact it should be used on a screen and it removes ink. There are no instructions on how long the product should be applied to the screen or how to properly use this product.So with little product information provided by the manufacturer I thought I would treat this product like all of the other emulsion/ ink removers I have used in the past. I generously coated my screen with the product let it sit for a 2-3 minutes and then tried to wash off my screen with a power washer. The ink and emulsion remained fixed on the screen. Second attempt, I let the product sit a little longer on the screen 5-8 minutes, attempted to wash it out. NOTHING CAME OFF THE SCREEN. The recent ink applications and ghost haze on the screens were cemented on the screen but the emulsion was partially removed. After several more attempts, refusing to accept defeat, I realized for the life of me I can not figure out the purpose of this product and I have been a screen printer for 5 years. It seems to remove emulsion but very poorly. Worried that my screens are being damaged by this product I have had to purchase a different effective ink/ghost remover from a different company.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

***Restaurant permanently closed…replaced by Northbridge Food Co***
Website: www.mezcuisine.com.au
Entertainment Card: Complimentary main course when another is purchased (up to $32 value)
Mez Mediterranean is located toward the top of James Street, right opposite Russell Square in the heart of Northbridge. We were looking for a restaurant to eat and found this in the Entertainment Book and thought, why not give it a go? I checked out their website and the food looked decent but slightly ordinary so I did not have any high expectation but the night actually turned out superb.
For some 'word definition' lesson, Mez has two meanings – the first being mezes, a Greek word for 'nibbles' and the purpose is two fold, to complement and enhance the taste of drink and to provide a backdrop for a social gathering. Looking at their website, they are pretty serious about their mezes. They have a full on House Special 'Mezes' menu with complimentary sweets & coffee/tea included for $40pp. I did not try it this time but would definitely like to one day! Mez also stands for mezzanine, a level above the street which it is conveniently located! So it seems that they had put a lot of thought into the name for the restaurant.
When we got there, the restaurant was pretty much empty (with only one table taken outside) so we had a choice to sit anywhere we like. We chose the semi-alfresco area out on the terrace for some fresh breeze and a view which overlooks the Square. This restaurant has a really nice ambience and welcoming atmosphere. It is modern and striking with its black and dark pink tablecloth. Nice!
The service was also excellent, we were served by the owner (a very personable guy) and he took time to explain the dishes and specials to us, making a few jokes along the way. They are also fully licensed with a bar showcasing all the drinks in the far corner of the restaurant.
We ordered the following that night:
- Corona beer (normal drink)
- Watershed Shades Cab/Shiraz/Merlot Margaret River WA (nice wine!)
- House Specialty – Lamb Kleftiko (which means a joint of lamb baked in clay oven)
- Fish of the Day – Grilled Salmon
The lamb was roasted and seasoned with lemon, oregano & garlic, served with potatoes, Tzatziki sauce (Greek dip made from yoghurt, chopped cucumber and mint) and a side salad. I had a small taste and the lamb was juicy and tender and went well with the special Greek sauce which gave the lamb a refreshing taste. No wonder it's their house specialty dish! The grilled salmon I had was lemon glazed and served with a salad garnish, chunky fries and garlic aioli. The salmon is one of the best I had eaten so far – the outer skin is grilled till its crunchy while the freshness/rawness of the flesh inside is maintained so it doesn't become too rubbery and dry. Yummo! The aioli sauce was also superb with the fries!
Needless to say, it turned out to be a great night with lovely service from the staff and awesome food. To top it off, the owner gave us the discount from the Ent book but did not scratch the offer off the card. He asked us to come again! I would definitely go back for more!

Gov. Mark Dayton told a group of school principals Friday that his administration would be proposing education changes in the days before his budget is released in mid-February.
Dayton spoke to the Minnesota Association of Secondary School Principals in Minneapolis. He told them his Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius would be unveiling the proposals in the next couple of weeks. He wouldn't elaborate, but said he wants to roll back student testing.
"My direction to the Commissioner is to find way to do as much less of it as possible," Dayton said. "We all want accountability and there are ways to provide that. I don't want to belabor the obvious. As you know this has gotten to be excessive. I voted against No Child Left Behind, nine out of 10 of the members of Minnesota's congressional delegation voted against No Child Left Behind. This was a bipartisan recognition that this was the wrong way to go."
Dayton also cautioned the principals, saying he had been struggling to meet his campaign promise to increase funding for education. He said that may have to wait for additional tax revenues in months ahead.

Tags: adt home security source, home invasion, home security, home security source, predators, sex offenders
Robert Siciliano Identity Theft Expert
I see headlines like this every day. "Security increases" because we wait until something bad happens until we do something about it. How about we increase security right now because there is a small chance something bad can happen? Like the Boy Scouts, "Be Prepared."
Some time ago a home invasion in Connecticut took the lives of a mother and her two daughters while the Doctor father was tied up in the basement. Bad things happened to the women and the home was eventually set ablaze. This is the single worst home invasion I've ever seen. The case is in the courts now. This is a perfect example of what "Predators" are.
There always has been, is, and always will be predators stalking their prey. Unfortunately, this is the natural order of life. Predators are a part of many of life's species. Growing up my dad sat me in front of the TV and made me watch documentaries on animal behavior.
"In the animal world", he pointed out, and then he specifically pointed towards the lion and said "there are predators and their natural prey". The lion hunts and stalks other animals and kills, then eats them. He explained that it's normal for the lion to kill, it's OK, it might not be nice of the lion, but that's just the way it is.
He went on to say that in the human world, it's the exact same thing. That there are human beings that act exactly as the lion, and it's normal. It's not OK, it's not nice, but that's just the way it is. Lots to digest when you are 12. The fact is dad was right.
Some may know the story of the "Frog and the Scorpion." Scorpion asks a frog to take him across the river on his back. Frogs like, no way dude you'll kill me. Scorpion says "hey man, I won't kill you, if I did I'd drown too" Frogs like, "OK man, sounds reasonable, let's do it". Frog gets halfway across the river and the scorpion stings him! Surprised, the frog asks why, because now they will both drown, scorpions says, "Stupid frog, I'm a scorpion, it's what we do." Predators are predators by nature.
There are over 500,000 registered sex offenders in the US. There are thousands more that aren't registered and many more that simply haven't been caught.
It's unfortunate they can't just be kept in jail. But this is the land of the free and the brave and we have rights. Even the child molesters have rights.
So here's the deal. If you live in a house (which most of us do), chances are there are sex offenders near where you live and work. It's not enough to know that there are bad guys out there looking for their next victims. It's important to do something about it. Take a self defense class, bone up on your eye gouging, and teach those you love how to protect themselves. Remember, once a scorpion, always a scorpion.

Testing the Double Jeopardy Loyalty Effect Using Discrete Choice Models
This paper attempts to validate the double jeopardy loyalty effect in a utility framework using a discrete choice approach instead of the Dirichlet model. We specify brand choice and allow for differences in brand loyalty measures across brands in two different product categories. The discrete choice model formulations include a multinomial and a latent class multinomial logit model. Using ACNielsen household scanner panel data to estimate the models, we find that market share leaders enjoy higher purchasing loyalty than do lower market share brands. The results have relevant implications in terms of marketing mix decisions for brand managers.

In 1850, it was initially established at Hancock County but the name was changed in 1858 to Winston County. It can be important to note the name change if you are looking for older records prior to 1858. Many Winston County public records will date back to this period, but the main collection of available records starts in 1908. That's the year the state made it a requirement.
Any records you find prior to 1908 may be very brief, incomplete or lacking in details that you normally find with more modern records.
You can order a certified copy of most Winston County public records through the health department office in Double Springs. The office is open to the public and you just have to submit the form in to the counter to get your copies. There is a fee involved and some records do have privacy restrictions on them.
If Double Springs is out of your way, they accept mailed-in applications as well. You just need to include your fee as a check or money order (payable to the State Board of Health).
Winston County Birth Records
To prevent fraud, these records are kept confidential for 125 years after the date of birth. While they are private, you are permitted to get a copy of your own Winston County birth record or a copy belonging to your child, parent, sibling or legal spouse only. No other relatives are allowed. Each certified copy will cost $15, whether they find the certificate or not. After 125 years, the records move to the State Archives in Montgomery where they can be looked up for free.
Winston County Death Records
Immediate relatives are permitted to request death certificates, with each copy costing $15 as well. But after 25 years, all Winston County death records become public domain and you can order any one you like. Whether still private or not, getting a copy from the health office will have a fee of $15 but you can also find most of the public records at the State Archives at no cost. Older records will be very brief, with no more than a name, date and location.
Winston County Marriage Records
Marriage records are not private at any time, so there are no restrictions when you make your request. You just have to supply the names of the bride and groom, the date and location of the marriage. The fee for Winston County marriage records is $15 each as well, though you can also go to the Probate courthouse for certified copies that may cost less. The courthouse will also have older records than the state collection that started in 1936.
Winston County Criminal Records
Winston County criminal records cost more than the others ($25) and you can only make an order for your own criminal background file. All others are strictly private. Only legal professionals and employers can have access (employers can only do so for background checks). If you need a copy of your own criminal record, apply to the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center in Montgomery. The ACJIC website has the forms and application instructions. They do accept requests by mail so you don't necessarily have to go to Montgomery.

My Dirty Little Book of Stolen Time
by Liz Jensen
305pp, Bloomsbury, £12.99
"Dear precious darling reader," gushes Charlotte, the narrator of this likeable, implausible novel, "you are looking so attractive today, if I may say so." Charlotte is well practised in the sugary arts of the professional flatterer: much of her youth and early womanhood has been spent as a prostitute, ministering to the needs of a more or less respectable clientele in late 19th-century Copenhagen - though she was not raised in the city, but found her way there at the age of 16 after escaping from a grim orphanage in the wilds of Jutland.
Or so she claims. Charlotte is not, perhaps, the most reliable of narrators: she also claims that she was abandoned by her "royal-blooded and beautiful young parents", a tale evidently designed to conceal the prosaic truth concerning her relationship to her leech-like companion, the guzzling, flatulent Fru Schleswig. Not that the matter is likely to detain us for long: the story of royal lineage is merely part of the preamble to a far taller tale. "O the adventures," cries Charlotte. "Reader, you will simply not believe them, for I scarcely can myself."
We have been warned. What follows is a fantastical story of time-travel, beginning in the home of the loathsome Fru Krak, an overbearing battleaxe who, after the mysterious disappearance of one husband and in anticipation of marriage to another, takes Charlotte into service as a cleaner. Krak's house is, predictably enough, a place of gothic gloom and strange goings-on; and when Charlotte and Schleswig break into a basement room and discover a mysterious contraption of wood, glass and leather (yes, dear reader, a time-machine), they find themselves accidentally transported to an astonishing world of glassy towers, flickering screens and frozen lasagne: 21st-century London.
Guided by the amiable Professor Krak (whose discovery of the secret of time-travel accounts for his absence from his Copenhagen home), Charlotte begins to find her feet in a new society - a society consisting largely of fellow refugees from 19th-century Denmark but also including Fergus, a 21st-century widower of Scottish origins, now living in London with his adoptive daughter, Josie. Needless to say, Charlotte and Fergus fall passionately, if perplexedly, in love with one another.
As with most couples in the early stages of a relationship, there are adjustments to be made, but Charlotte's circumstances are - to put it mildly - unusual, and the process takes a little time. To begin with, there's the matter of her profession: her plan to set up a futuristic brothel in her own time and place isn't immediately shelved, and an indiscretion involving Fergus's credit card and a delivery of assorted sex toys necessitates some fancy footwork. More problematically, she is so obviously adrift in the 21st century ("Christ," says the baffled Fergus, "even Mongolians have heard of Johnny Depp") that she is eventually obliged to break the golden rule of the time-travelling community and explain how she arrived there.
Fergus is understandably sceptical but, as he remarks, seeing is believing: a journey to 19th-century Copenhagen simultaneously convinces him of the truth of Charlotte's story and jolts him into a proposal of marriage. Charlotte now has literally the best of both worlds, celebrating yuletide with Fergus in traditional Danish fashion, over a dinner funded by Professor Krak's lucrative intertemporal trade in Viagra. And she can make new plans: "Fergus and I would live happily ever after, amid flowers, champagne and kisses, as in all the best stories, and have many podgy little cherubs to coo over."
But fairy-tale endings are seldom arrived at without mishap and struggle, and time-travel is a risky business. When Charlotte and Josie embark precipitately on their third voyage, Fergus is prevented from following them, while Schleswig and Professor Krak are catapulted into another dimension. Will the ingenious professor be able to communicate essential information across time and space using only a makeshift telephone and a sweet potato? Will Schleswig fall on her broad feet in a glutton's paradise? And will our heroine be reunited with her handsome, caring lover? Reader, my lips are sealed.
This is good-natured stuff - a heady mix of quantum physics, pseudo-science and plain nonsense, served with a generous measure of old-fashioned romance. Charlotte knows how to give her reader a good time, but admirers of Jensen's thoughtful and disquieting The Ninth Life of Louis Drax may be a little disappointed. Where the earlier novel used its startling premise as a means of exploring some of the darker recesses of the human mind, My Dirty Little Book of Stolen Time sweeps us breathlessly across the surface of its tale of dislocation, loss and redemption. It's a bravura performance but - as Charlotte herself might be the first to admit - not quite the real thing.

A venture known as the East Neuk Retreat and a rolling programme of special commissions are two new initiatives announced by East Neuk Festival director Svend Brown, following the success this month of its 10th anniversary programme.
In its first decade, the Festival has secured a reputation as one of the UK's most noted annual events, by always investing in imaginatively programmed chamber music, performed by leading international musicians.
It has also provided valuable opportunities to young musicians to perform to an appreciative and knowledgeable audience.
By way of further nurturing young talent, the East Neuk Retreat will launch in 2015 to actively support and inspire young musicians in a focused, yet relaxed environment.
Sven said: "A passion for chamber music is at the heart of ENF. Anything we can do to nurture its excellent performance and the continuance of its great traditions is an investment in our future as well as the futures of all the musicians who will attend."
