Hailed for his grandeur of imagination and superb worldbuilding, winner of and nominee for more than 50 awards for his outstanding work, Mike Resnick has rightfully won a place as one of science fiction's master storytellers. Now, in Kirinyaga, Resnick presents the haunting and utterly compelling tale of one man's utopia. By the 22nd century in the African nation of Kenya, polluted cities sprawl up the flanks of sacred Mount Kirinyaga. Great animal herds are but distant memories. European crops now grow on the sweeping savannas. But Koriba, a distinguished, educated man of Kikuyu ancestry, knows that life was different for his people centuries ago - and he is determined to build a utopian colony, not on Earth, but on the terraformed planetoid he proudly names Kirinyaga. As the mundumugu - witch doctor - Koriba leads the colonists. Reinstating the ancient customs and stringent laws of the Kikuyu people, he alone decides their fate. He must face many challenges to the struggling colony's survival: from a brilliant young girl whose radiant intellect could threaten their traditional ways, to the interference of "Maintenance", which holds the power to revoke the colony's charter. All the while, only Koriba - unbeknownst to his people - maintains the computer link to the rest of humanity. Ironically, the Kirinyaga experiment threatens to collapse - not from violence or greed - but from humankind's insatiable desire for knowledge. The Kikuyu people can no more stand still in time than their planet can stop revolving around its sun. Deeply moving, swiftly paced, and profound in its implications, Kirinyaga is Mike Resnick's most triumphant work to date. His Fable of Utopia is the book every listener will want to own and savor for years to come.

Jose Mourinho said that he was going to make wholesale changes to the team that would face Schalke in the Champions League on Wednesday night. His comments came after the Newcastle United match. He later backtracked by saying that he may make only a couple of changes. Some of the players like Andre Schurrle and John obi Mikel have done well when called upon. They could get a recall to the starting line-up.
The 3-0 win in the reverse puts Chelsea in a great position, but they need to maintain that position with a home victory. Another loss at home (after the opening day defeat against FC Basel) will simply be unacceptable.
Any traces of complacency following a great October might have vanished after the Newcastle defeat on Saturday. Mourinho may ask his team to get back to the basics and find the formula that made them a force to reckon with since the last international break.
Schalke will not be an easy opponent despite their poor showing at the Veltins Arena a fortnight ago. Schalke warmed up for this match with a 2-0 win over Hertha Berlin, but this was their first win in three matches. It was also the first clean sheet in five matches. Hence, they should be in good spirits.
Chelsea are joint top with the German club in the group.
Chelsea predicted squad: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Mikel, Oscar, Hazard, Schurrle, Ba.


text: Sense of Scale | Metal Sculpture & Wearable Art Sense of Scale: Metal Sculpture and Wearable Art presents new work by four accomplished metalsmiths who were challenged to create both small, wearable jewelry and impressive sculpture for the wall or pedestal. Sarah C. Chapman, Darlys Ewoldt, Heejin Hwang, and Stacey Lee Webber are connected by their experiences as teachers (both past and present) in Lillstreet's deeply rooted metals department, and the diversity of their work speaks to the variety of techniques, materials, and approaches being taught here. Chapman's refined and detailed pieces made with precious metals and stones are shown alongside Ewoldt's expressive, formed vessels fabricated with copper sheet and finished with colorful patinas. Hwang's intricate steel wire and gold body adornments contrast Webber's clever constructions made of everyday materials like coins and screws. When seen together, the collection of work in Sense of Scale inspires viewers to reconsider the conventions of both material and construction in contemporary metalsmithing and to marvel at the level of craftsmanship achieved by these incredible artists. - Jess Mott Wickstrom, Gallery Director Click here to view the full exhibition catalog.

The carat of a diamond ring says a lot about the value of the item. The higher the carat, the highly priced the diamond is. Also, people, will be more enticed to look at your gem if it contains bigger and more lustrous stones. For investors, a bigger carat will also mean higher return of investment. But at times, limitations on our budget will just let us settle for diamonds with a smaller carat. However there are some tricks that you can apply so that you can enhance the size and quality of the diamond on your diamond ring and make it appear larger, brighter, and more attractive. Here are the settings that will be of help in achieving this.
Consider pave setting
There are diamond ring settings that will only limit the size of the diamond based on what is present on the ring. A certain setting however, the pave setting, gives an illusion that the small diamonds connected to each other are actually big. When light strikes each smaller stones, an image of a bigger diamond are created thus your ring appears to contain a larger diamond stone. The interconnectedness of the each smaller stone allows penetration of light and reflection of the same in the stone in between resulting to enhanced and larger image. The stones then would appear big despite their diminutive size.
Aside from the pave setting, another means to enlarge the appearance of your diamond is through complementation of the ring design and shape with its setting. For example, the bezel setting, raises the diamond upward thus giving you an impression that the stone is actually large. Here, a rim encircles the original stone and carries it quite higher than its supposed normal position. In effect, the diamond looks expansive and brighter as well. Invisible settings is also another option where in something is placed beneath the diamond such that it appears to be floating.
Matching Illusion with Size
If other options do not work perfectly for you, try the illusion setting. It makes use of a mirror added to the setting such that it will reflect light to the diamond making it appear big and shinier. The mirror is inputted within the setting so that once the diamond is placed atop the setting, the mirror will enhance the size of the stone by allowing light to pass through the stone in almost all angles. Now you have a greater diamond ring!

Paquito D'Rivera
Biorhythm Chart for Tuesday November 21st 2017
How to Publish Paquito D'Rivera's Daily Biorhythm
To publish Paquito's biorhythm chart on your own blog or web page, just copy and paste the HTML code below.
You can also create your own chart very easily.
You and Paquito
Understanding Paquito's Daily Biorhythm Chart
Paquito D'Rivera is a male celebrity.
He was born on Friday June 4th 1948, in Havana, Cuba,.
The blue line displays D'Rivera's physical self during a 23-day cycle, starting at his date of birth. The physical self measurement is an indicator of his energy levels in terms of coordination, strength, and general well-being. If the blue line is at the top of the chart he is in a physically energized portion of his cycle. If the blue line is at or near the bottom of the chart Paquito is in a low point in his physical cycle. High points are an excellent time to take on physically challenging ventures. Low points indicate he may be physically spent and may need to take it easy for a while.
The red line represents Paquito D'Rivera's emotional self during a 28-day cycle, in terms of creativity, sensitivity, mood, perception, and awareness. When the red line is near the top of the chart Paquito is feeling emotionally strong. His outlook on life tends to be at its best and his interactions with others are most successful. Low points on D'Rivera's emotional line indicate times when he may need to retreat somewhat. Paquito D'Rivera is more likely to be depressed during these times. High points indicate times when he will enjoy the company of others and find expressing his feelings the easiest.
The green line tracks Paquito's intellectual self over a 33-day cycle, in terms of alertness, analytical functioning, logical analysis skills, memory or recall abilities, and communication. When the green line is near the top of the chart D'Rivera's mental faculties are at their sharpest. This is the time for him to seek solutions requiring logic and analysis. Conversely, at those times when the green line is near the bottom of the chart Paquito D'Rivera's intellectual capabilities are at their lowest. Paquito might find it prudent to delay work requiring serious thought until he reaches a higher position in his cycle.
The purple line charts Paquito D'Rivera's varying intuitive (or compassion) strength at different points during a 38-day cycle. When the purple line is near the top, his powers of intuition are at their strongest. During these times Paquito D'Rivera might even experience moments of serendipity. These high points are times when he should be more willing to trust his hunches. When the purple line is near the bottom of the chart, his intuitive powers are at their lowest. At these times Paquito D'Rivera might want to shy away from making decisions because "he just knows" and rely on a more analytical approach to decision making.
The aqua line travels the ebb and flow of his 53-day spiritual sensitivity cycle. When the aqua line is at the top of the chart Paquito D'Rivera is very in tune with his spiritual self. At these times Paquito may reach new heights religiously or experience intense mystical experiences. During periods when the aqua line is near the bottom of the chart D'Rivera is not particularly in sync with the spiritual side of life.
The yellow line traces Paquito's aesthetic powers through a 43-day cycle. During periods when the yellow line is at the top of the chart Paquito D'Rivera is most open to the arts as well as being at the pinnacle of his own creative powers. The high points are perfect times for D'Rivera to express his creative self. During periods when the yellow line is at the bottom of the chart he is not nearly as in touch with his creative self. During these times Paquito D'Rivera might do well to put his energies into things that do not require large amounts of creativity.
The orange line follows the flux in D'Rivera's level of self-awareness in cycle of 48 days each. At times the orange line is near the top of the chart he is most in tune with himself. During these periods Paquito D'Rivera can experience profound moments of self-discovery. During periods in his cycle when the orange line is near the bottom of the chart D'Rivera is not nearly as connected to his inner-self.
About Biorhythm
Our rhythmic biological cycles are said to control or initiate various biological processes and are classically composed of three cyclic rhythms that are said to govern human behavior and demonstrate innate periodicity in natural physiological change: the physical, the emotional, and the intellectual (mental) cycles.

Slow Down… Mars Retrograde Through Sagittarius And Scorpio, 2016…
The celestial bodies govern different areas of our spirit and Mars in astrological terms is our animal passion and fighting spirit.
In our horoscope and natal birth chart the position of mighty Mars reveals how we deal with conflict and our own anger. Do we burn slowly (a Taurus tendency) or explode (the Cardinal signs), rage and then blow over, quick to forgive and forget? Are our passions poured into the arts (Pisces)? Or expressed through our sex drive (Scorpio)?
Aside from our usual character the behaviour of Mars lends his energy to us as he moves through our horoscope, giving us drive at work, in the gym, in the bedroom or boardroom depending on the area he's lighting up with passion.
For example when Mars transits the friendship area of your chart you might be inclined to get more active in groups and the community.
And yes, he retrogrades.
Mars Retrograde, 2016…
Mars will appear to go backward in the skies this year, passing through the zodiac signs Scorpio, then Sagittarius, then back into Scorpio again, then forwards into Sagittarius.
… Libra > Scorpio > Sagittarius > Scorpio > Sagittarius > Capricorn > Aquarius >…
[dates below]
What does it mean?
Mars appearing retrograde is a time when our energy and actions are busy and distracted.
Just as communications, electricals and networks go haywire during Mercury Retrograde our reserves of ardent drive can be knocked off course during this time.
It might be a chaotic period of in-action, and our plans may back-fire or be thwarted by obstacles. Other people might seem to have a quick temper, be overactive, rash and take action on impulse. Drives may wane, including our sex-drive!
Will power, assertiveness, forthrightness and the ability to power and drive through life will be on slow-gear, even reverse!
Aries – Mars is your ruler so you're particularly prone to the moment of Mars, and might notice that after your birthday things start to get crazy!
Scorpio – In tandem with powerful Pluto, Mars is your co-ruler, and you might find by the end of April life gets frustrating.
More advice for this time including all the signs, below…
Don't Sweat It…
It's important to review how we expend our energies and the projects we're progressing.
This is a great time to reassess the action-plan, re-work where our energies are directed, RECHARGING and RESTING.
Relaunch your activities when Mars goes direct at the end of June.
Don't initiate new projects now (if possible), plans could need re-assertion.
Don't Panic – Mars appears retrograde every two years, nothing to go Gaga over.
Key Dates To Note
Discover where Mars falls in your chart with a special horoscope reading around Mars, buy here.
- Mars appears to retrograde on 17th April 2016 (9 degrees of Sagittarius)
- Mars re-enters Scorpio on 28th May
- Mars goes direct on 29th June (23 degrees Scorpio)
- Mars re-enters Sagittarius on 2nd August 2016.
What Does It Mean For You?
Read for your Sun / Rising Sign…
Aries – Mars is making his way from the activation of deep intuition, power and external resources to the house of higher learning, philosophy and adventure. Earned income might undergo a period of stop–start as might a matter around your education.
Taurus – For the Bulls, Mars is making his way from the house of partnerships to the house of intimacy and sex! Your relationships could be getting the opportunity for a reset and a prolonged force of focus, if there are areas you want to tackle it's a good time to reassert your will.
Gemini – This could be a period of busyness and redoing of projects at work, then to a focus towards the significant people in your world, as Mars goes from the area in your horoscope governing daily ritual and the things you like to do day-to-day, to the place of partnerships.
Cancer – Mars is moving from the fun house in your horoscope to the area of work and containment then back again, so you might get dragged back into the bedroom! Perhaps this retrograde period will have you revisit fun and good times before getting back to the tasks.
Leo – action planet Mars moves from the setting of house and home to the fun part of your chart, so before you get stuck in to the goodies you may need to attend to some element of your domesticity or take charge of an area around where you live…
Virgo – mighty and masculine Mars makes his way from your house of connections and communication to the area of domestic life – conversations could be revisited (especially those you feel passionately about) and any home projects initiated could need reactivating!
Libra – Mars makes his way from the area of your horoscope pointing to earned income to that of communications and short trips. You might be in a position to reassert your self worth and potential, and then later re-communicate this to the universe!
Scorpio – For Scorpions Mars is travelling through the most personal part of the horoscope – for an elongated period you'll be feeling energised and alive, although personal actions you take might need to be revisited, he'll then move on to powering up your piggy bank!
Sagittarius – Mars hangs out in your most hidden psyche, activating your dreams and innermost thoughts before breaking out, energising you like a force of nature! When Mars retrograde it could feel like a pullback, as he tugs you to revisit that downtime once again.
Capricorn – ardent Mars has you operating in a group setting, lighting fires among friends and your tribe. He moves into the resting spot in your horoscope but you may feel a second wind and re-charge into your friendship circle to reignite matters among friends.
Aquarius – Career matters have a sense of drive and energy about them, you can put in more but will then want to participate more in group matters and spend your energy with friends – woah! Mars makes his way back to power-up your professional reputation, let him take his turn again…
Pisces – You've been energising an area of learning and progressing in ways that activate higher perspectives of thought! Mars races on to get cracking on career matters but you may find yourself reactivating those studies, adventures and perspectives.
Your personal horoscopes reveals SO MUCH MORE!

Jane is a station on the Bloor–Danforth line in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located just north of Bloor Street West, spanning the block east of Jane Street to Armadale Avenue, with entrances from all three streets. It opened in 1968 as part of the westerly extension from Keele to Islington Station.[2] Wi-Fi service is available at this station. [3]
In 2006, this station became accessible with elevators.
The station's street entrances lead directly into the bus platform area in a layout that would not allow it to be readily brought into the station's fare-paid area. Until 1973 this was largely irrelevant because the station was on a fare zone boundary and the subway trains and some of the buses serving it were in separate zones.
At the west end, the Jane Street entrance is located just north of Bloor, on the east side of Jane Street. Similarly, at the other end of bus platform, there is an entrance directly from the west side of Armadale Avenue. Additionally, the station is accessible through automatic doors via a pedestrian walkway located mid-block on the north side of Bloor Street, between Jane and Armadale.[4]
Nearby landmarks[edit]
The station serves the local communities of Bloor West Village, Swansea, Runnymede, Old Mill and Baby Point and nearby destinations such as Bloor West Health Centre, St. Pius X Catholic School, St. Olave's Anglican Church, Windermere United Church and Jane/Dundas Public Library.[5]
Surface connections[edit]
Since the bus platform is located outside the fare-paid area, a paper transfer is required to connect surface routes.
The following bus routes[6] terminate at the station:
- 26 Dupont to St. George Station
- 35A Jane to Steeles Avenue via Hullmar Drive
- 35B to Pioneer Village and Steeles Avenue
- 35C to Steeles Avenue - the main branch
- 35D to Langstaff Road - extra fare required north of Steeles Avenue
- 55 Warren Park to Warren Park
- 195 Jane Rocket to York University - express service
- 335 Blue Night Jane to York University
Transit City LRT plan[edit]
The Transit City proposal calls for a new LRT line known as the Jane LRT line, running along Jane Street from Pioneer Village Station to Jane Station.[7]

Electorate That Keeps Voting For Same Gov't Says Gov't Too Powerful
Six in 10 Americans (60%) believe the federal government has too much power, one percentage point above the previous high recorded in September 2010. At least half of Americans since 2005 have said the government has too much power. Thirty-two percent now say the government has the right amount of power. Few say it has too little power.
These most recent data come from Gallup's Governance survey, conducted Sept. 5-8. The 7% who feel the government has too little power has been mostly steady since Gallup started tracking the measure regularly in 2002.
This new high encompasses Republicans (81%), who are now more likely than at any time since 2002 to say the government has too much power, and Democrats (38%), who now are more likely to say this than at any time since President Barack Obama took office in 2009.
Republicans, Democrats, and independents have each grown more likely to say government is too powerful this year. However, Republicans' and Democrats' views have generally become more polarized since Obama took office. In 2002, the two parties were about equally likely to view the federal government as too powerful, at 36% and 35%, respectively, with independents, at 45%, most likely to say this
The record number of Republicans who are dissatisfied with the status quo and creeped out by the size and reach of government might want to let their feelings be reflected in their voting habits soon. The GOP has been overrun by big government, bureaucracy-first statists for a couple of decades now. The party can win back the Senate next year and still see nothing change if Mitch McConnell is still in leadership.
The reason we go through these bouts of drama like what we're seeing with the defund Obamacare fight is that we still have people in power who are, for the most part, part of the "yield completely but call it compromise" crowd. SO rather than having coherent debates about what is best for the people we end up arguing about what is best for the party.
Because priorities.

This is true only because Kissinger puts the proposition in relative terms. Yes, China is more important in historic terms than Iran because China is bigger and economically more robust and has a bigger if not a brighter future. But, in contriving in American foreign policy one cannot the content with relative judgments if the harm caused crosses an absolute line.
In other words, Iran is now possessed of two of the most important assets in power-play politics and will soon be possessed of the third. Iran is already strategically located a place where it can control the Straits of Hormuz and a vast percentage of the world's flow of oil. Iran is possessed of perhaps the second-largest reserves of oil in the world and with the proper exploitation can become a major player. Third, Iran is very likely soon to have the bomb and with that bomb it can exploit its control over the Straits of Hormuz without much fear of retaliation; it can intimidate its neighbors like Saudi Arabia and vicariously control the world's largest producer of oil; possessed of the bomb, Iran can intimidate its Muslim neighbors into active opposition to America and the West.
These three factors make Iran an absolute problem even if it is, in historic terms, relatively less important that China. Obama's Cairo speech as an opening ploy, knight to King 4, is defensible. As a goal for policy it will be disastrous. There is nothing in Obama's personal history to justify Henry Kissinger's generous wait and see attitude.
How can Kissinger imply this from Zer0?
This is Zer0's first full time job.
My hunch is Kissinger knows we're in deep doo-doo
with Zer0. To proclaim Zer0 as a moron is not productive
for our security. HK's bluff may buy some time for Zer0.
SPIEGEL: But is what we have seen so far from him truly realpolitik?
Kissinger: It is also too early to say that. If what he wants to do is convey to the Islamic world that America has an open attitude to dialogue and is not determined on physical confrontation as its only strategy, then it can play a very useful role. If it were to be continued on the belief that every crisis can be managed by a philosophical speech, then he will run into Wilsonian problems.

Recycling workers return €1,500 that was hidden in shoe
honest recycling workers returned €1,500 to a customer who mistakenly threw out the cash in a pair of old shoes.
The employees at Panda Recycling were surprised to discover the hidden stash as they were processing a skip used to clear out the home of a woman who has Alzheimer's Disease.
The money was found by worker Costica Nedelcu and returned by the company to a family member on Monday evening, said Panda Recycling spokesperson Paul O'Doherty.
"The member of staff was honest enough to report the money to his manager. It was easy enough to track down the family," said Mr O'Doherty.
The woman's daughter, who asked not to be named, said she was very grateful for getting the money back.
"It's a big relief and a pleasant surprise to get my mother's money back," she said.
"I'm very appreciative of Panda's honesty and professionalism in returning the cash."
"This is the second time in the last few months we've stumbled across a hidden wad of cash," said Mr O'Doherty. "It's important that people properly check items before they throw them into a skip.
"You'd be surprised by what valuables people toss out without realising it."
Previously, another Panda employee, Radu Hajdu, a Romanian national, discovered €2,775 at the company's recycling plant in Cappagh.
The honest worker was the toast of his colleagues when the money was returned to its rightful owner.
A woman whose father had recently died had used the skip to clear out his home. She was delighted with the honesty of the waste employees.
Age Action's Eamon Timmins said it was a common occurrence for those with Alzheimer's to hide money and forget about it.
"We advise carers to be aware that valuables can be hidden in unexpected places so furniture or other unwanted items should be double-checked before being placed into skips," he said.

We can all agree that 2016, in which we lost a swath of icons including David Bowie, Prince and Carrie Fisher, was a rather sad year for the world of entertainment. Aside from the many famous faces, quite a few well-known voices from classic cartoons and stop-motion animation have also died this past year.
Let's take a look at the childhood favorites we've lost over the past 12 months.
1. Joe Alaskey (April 17, 1952–Feb. 3, 2016)
Best known for: Grandpa Lou Pickles from Rugrats, Yosemite Sam from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Plucky Duck from Tiny Toon Adventures.
Joe Alaskey was for a time the official voice behind #LooneyTunes franchise characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Sylvester. Most of these beloved characters had gone without an official single unifying voice actor for a significant period following the death of legendary voice artist Mel Blanc, who helped to shape these beloved icons. Outside of Looney Tunes, Alaskey voiced Stinkie in 1995's Casper film and Grandpa Lou in Rugrats, a role he inherited after David Doyle, the original Grandpa, passed away.
2. Janet Waldo (Feb. 4, 1920–June 12, 2016)
Best known for: Judy Jetson from The Jetsons, Princess from Battle of the Planets, Cindy Bear from Yogi's First Christmas.
A favorite of Hanna-Barbera, Janet Waldo voiced Judy Jetson, Penelope Pitstop and Josie from Josie and the Pussycats throughout the '60s and '70s. Then in 1990, Waldo became inadvertently embroiled in controversy when her completed performance as Judy in Jetsons: The Movie was redubbed by then-pop star Tiffany. While the studio obviously hoped Tiffany's inclusion would boost ticket sales, the decision was met with public vitriol from fans and industry players alike.
3. Jack Riley (Dec. 30, 1935–August 19, 2016)
Best known for: Stu Pickles from Rugrats.
Jack Riley's long acting career stretches back more than 50 years, but he's perhaps best known for the role of Elliot Carlin on The Bob Newhart Show, as well as for being a serial sitcom guest star. By the '90s, Riley had transitioned to voicing Stu Pickles, father of lead character Tommy Pickles on #Rugrats. Here's one of his most memorable scenes below.
The scene has become the subject of many memes and #YouTube videos. Riley continued in the role of Stu through three Rugrats films and spinoff All Grown Up!.
4. Brian Bedford (Feb. 16, 1935–Jan. 13, 2016)
Best known for: Fox from Robin Hood.
An accomplished actor of both stage and screen, Brian Bedford directed and starred in a number of Shakespearean productions. But for many, he will always be the voice of #Disney's anthropomorphic incarnation of Robin Hood. While the film managed to bestow upon us the usual Disney charm on a relatively small budget, Bedford's performance as Robin remains a fan favorite.
5. C. Martin Croker (Jan. 10, 1962–Sept. 17, 2016)
Best known for: Dr. Weird from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, The Brak Show.
Not exactly known for kid-friendly fare, C. Martin Croker was beloved by #AdultSwim viewers for his work as the PG-rated voices of Zorak and Moltar in Space Ghost Coast to Coast, a parody talk show starring characters from '60s superhero cartoon Space Ghost. He reprised the role of Zorak for The Brak Show, as well as continuing to voice Moltar through the character's tenure as host of Cartoon Network's #Toonami segment, which ran from 1997–1999. Croker later voiced Dr. Weird in Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
6. Ron Glass ( July 10, 1945–Nov. 25, 2016)
Best known for: Randy Carmichael from Rugrats and All Grown Up!.
While enjoying a steady career as a live-action actor — including Detective Ron Harris in Barney Miller and Shepherd Book in #Firefly — Ron Glass also lent his pipes to a number of beloved franchises. Most notably he voiced Randy Carmichael in Rugrats, a role he continued through its spinoff All Grown Up!, as well as voicing roles in Aladdin: The Series and Superman: The Animated Series. In 2001, he voiced Dr. Lazenby in the theatrically released film Recess: School's Out.
7. Alan Young (Nov. 19, 1919–May 19, 2016)
Best known for: Scrooge McDuck, Haggis MacHaggis from The Ren & Stimpy Show, Farmer Smurf from The Smurfs.
While his career kicked off in earnest in the late-'40s, for much of the '60s Alan Young was easily most recognizable for his role of Wilbur, owner of the titular talking horse in Mister Ed. Young's post-Ed years saw him morph into an accomplished voice artist. Beginning with the roles of Keyop and 7-Zark-7 in Battle of the Planets, Young's work can be heard in such beloved series as #TheSmurfs, Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo, and Alvin & the Chipmunks.
Perhaps the most renowned of Young's voice roles is that of Scrooge McDuck in DuckTales. After #DuckTales' demise, Young continued to voice Scrooge in other Disney iterations through to 2016. Doctor Who actor David Tennant, taking over the role of Scrooge McDuck for the upcoming DuckTales reboot, has some very big shoes to fill.
8. George S. Irving (Nov. 1, 1922–Dec. 26, 2016)
Best known for: Geppetto from Pinocchio's Christmas, the Captain from Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure.
George S. Irving enjoyed many award-winning #Broadway roles, while also making a name for himself in voice acting. Indeed, he voiced the Heat Miser, a caricature of himself, in the classic Rankin/Bass Christmas special The Year Without a Santa Claus. He reprised the role in the sequel, A Miser Brothers' Christmas, released 34 years after the original.
9. Anton Yelchin (March 11, 1989–June 19, 2016)
Best known for: Dudley from SuperMansion, Clumsy from The Smurfs, Shun Kazama in From Up on Poppy Hill.
A rising star in Hollywood, Anton Yelchin had performed in a number of acclaimed live-action and voice roles before his tragic death. He provided the voice for Clumsy Smurf in several live-action/CGI Smurfs films, including The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol and The Smurfs: The Legend of Smurfy Hollow. Yelchin also voiced Shun Kazama in the English dub of the #StudioGhibliFilm From Up on Poppy Hill. His voice has most recently been heard in the Dreamorks-produced Netflix series Trollhunters.
10. Debbie Reynolds (April 1, 1932–Dec. 28, 2016)
Best known for: Lulu Pickles from Rugrats, Mrs. Claus from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Movie, Madame from Kiki's Delivery Service, Charlotte from Charlotte's Web.
Though the beginning years of #DebbieReynolds' illustrious career saw her crowned America's Sweetheart, in later life she would experience a resurgence performing in children's films and TV series. First providing both the speaking and singing voices for Charlotte the spider in 1973's Charlotte's Web, Reynolds later voiced Madame in the English dub of Kiki's Delivery Service and Mrs.Claus in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Movie. On TV, she voiced characters such as Lulu Pickles in Rugrats, Nana Possible on Kim Possible, and most recently, Great-Great-Grandmommers Whimsical in The 7D.
These are just a few of the voice artists we lost last year. Tell us about your favorite voice actor in the comments section below.

Johannesburg - Live ammunition was not used to subdue protesting residents at Thembelihle, south of Johannesburg, Gauteng police said on Wednesday."I repeat, we did not use live ammunition," Lieutenant Colonel Katlego Mogale said.She was responding to media reports that a protester was hospitalised on Tuesday evening after being shot by police.Mogale said Thembelihle remained calm early Wednesday afternoon.ANC Gauteng secretary David Makhura said allegations the ruling party had failed to deliver on promises of housing in Thembelihle were untrue, as 6 000 units had been built there."Some service delivery protests are not about service delivery."Blatant acts of criminalityHe was speaking in Johannesburg about violence that erupted when supporters of ANC Youth League president Julius Malema clashed with police and journalists outside ANC headquarters last Tuesday.Blatant acts of criminality often undermined the genuine concerns raised by people on real issues, Makhura said. Violent protests were "completely intolerable and inexcusable" in a democratic society."These protests are often characterised by destruction of community facilities, attacks on councillors, blocking of roads and large scale disruption of schools."He called on law enforcement to bring the perpetrators of such violence to book. High rates of unemployment, increasing urban poverty, the high costs of food and electricity, as well as social crimes affecting women and children were common themes of such protests, Makhura said. Eroding township economies were also of concern.DamageHe said the absence of the ANC in community struggles was a weakness of the party.Damage totalling R1.5m was caused during this week's service delivery protests in Thembelihle, according to city officials. They said protesting residents set fire to three load centres, depriving most of Lenasia Extensions Nine to 11 of power from Monday night to 03:00 on Wednesday.This emerged from a joint statement by Roslyn Greef of the mayoral council and City Power acting managing director Sicelo Xulu.A third of the area was still without power on Wednesday morning, but City Power said all these areas would be reconnected by the end of the day.Public lightingPublic lighting had been installed in Thembelihle to improve security in the area, but this infrastructure had been damaged by illegal connections. City Power would remove the illegal connections, but maintain the public lighting."Whilst we remain committed to supplying electricity to all residents of this city, we are however not in the position to do any electricity installations in Thembelihle until the area is officially proclaimed a human settlement," said Greef and Xulu.City Power had opened a case of damage to property at the Lenasia police station over the fire. It said Thembelihle residents should take responsibility for the public lighting and protect it from those who stole cables and made illegal electricity connections.March plannedResidents of the informal settlement planned to march on Wednesday in support of those arrested during the protests, police spokesperson Captain Mbulaheni Netshivhodza said."We have received information that they are planning to march, but at this stage we don't know where they will hold the demonstration."He said a heavy police contingent was present at the township and the situation was under control.Both lanes on Klipspruit Valley Road had been opened on Wednesday morning after residents barricaded it with burning tyres and rocks on Monday.Arrests Eighteen people were arrested in connection with public violence and malicious damage to property during the protests against poor housing, water shortages and corruption.On Tuesday morning, residents fired live ammunition at police, a school and a councillor's house. Police fired rubber bullets in return. Protesters also damaged cars, traffic lights and electricity meters and trampled on a 15-year-old girl as they ran from the police. Two occupants of a Toyota Cressida were pelted with stones.Tebogo Tshwala, 11, who was hit in the face by a rubber bullet on Monday, was discharged from Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital on Tuesday, according to a report in the Sowetan.
why the phuk not?
Why not?
First article we all agree on , WHAHAHA
Uncanny isn't it?
Unbelievable that
They should have!
Good, you guys follow me on twitter @
"We did not use live ammo, say police" Mistake Number1
LOL see South Africans can agree
Brilliant idea to destroy the load centres that supply power because you don't have power. Sound confusing? The logic of the protestors escape me!! Damage what you have because you dont have enough...go figure!
@ bemused, true dat!
As I understand it they have no right to elecricity."Whilst we remain committed to supplying electricity to all residents of the city,we are however not in the position to do any electrical installations in Thembelihle until the area is officially proclaimed a human settlement".Which means they're illegal squatters.Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Ja mense,the circus goes on, on this blog
FFFFUUUUU---WHy you no use live ammo???
okay, so maybe not live ammo, but these people to to go to jail AND STAY THERE and do some community service until their debt is repaid to society!
Queen darling this not England yeah, in South Africa we fight fire with fire and not water yeah mate.
There is a shooting range near me, should I ask for some live ammo for u?
Don't care, you cannot go around using live ammo. I am glad the police didn't use it because it would have given these poor bastards another thing to jump on the band wagon about. But, ... if they do use live ammo then the police have every right to retaliate to protect themselves, stun grenades and tear gas are usually pretty effective. Please let us try and stop all of this stupid and useless bloodshed and destruction in a sensible way. The people who should be targeted are the bloody politicians that made the promises in the first place. Bring those f*c*e*s to book. Let us just hope that next time these guys vote it is for a different party. Everyone has the right to clean water, sanitation, power and decent roads. The fat cats must stop stuffing their own back pockets. The money for all of the above gets spent on expensive dinners in larny restaurants in Sandton.
Agree 100%.... Unfortunately, if you think back, there were many similar protests prior to the previous election...most of which caused some form of destruction and, in some cases, death !! The people who were part of those protests still voted for the ANC....go figure !!! Zimbabweans have been starving to death for decades and still they vote for the despot Mugabe. No matter how many times you point out the obvious or apply some logical reasoning they only see colour and will vote on that premise.
You forgot to add the 300 K a month body gaurds they have that we pay for
Why the f@@k not?
Why not what, rip off the cash or build the infrastructure? Or do you mean use live ammo. Little more clarity SA Sucks.
Lol, you people are unbelievable
You must go to a ANCYL gathering if you want to see unbelievable !!
time to lock and load!
Missed opportunity not using live ammo, only thing that'll stop these criminals destroying our communities!!
Damn pity about that, they were shot at with live ammo, they should at least have repaid the compliment.
It's pretty obvious that regadless of colour or creed, not one person supports a violent protestor (other than the family and friends of those that have been arrested). Gives me some hope.
appeasement never ever has a happy ending , as for the kid, he shouldnt have been there.
Correct. Why wasn't he in school?
Please let bow our heads in prayer for these idiotic fools because I cannot imagine what the next generation is going to do if we still have a SA. These people are as dumb as two bricks

A lot of people are going to a very open floor plan, they want to feel like they can incorporate everyone regardless of what space they are in. Some people do still prefer the closed off style as well. But there is a style called transitional which is a more in between the two designs. So you have are unsure of which kitchen, dining room, and living room combo you may want to try and get a layout drawn up for a transitional style and see how you like it!
White and Gray cabinets (see above) are becoming popular dominant colors for cabinets. Gray however is more neutral and can match with the rest of the house. On that note, shaker style cabinets seem to never go out of style. Black and white is the classic style giving a clean, stylish look to the kitchen. There's also black and white wood flooring that you can get as hardwood flooring is easy to clean and very durable. It is more expensive but you can minimize the cost by getting cheaper wood and it is longer lasting than other types of flooring.
Despite all the changing trends that occur yearly, the fact that you have a personalized kitchen never changes. Just because there are trends that doesn't mean that you have to follow them. If you like something that's not a trend then go for it because it'll be your kitchen and you deserve to love every aspect of it. However, if you are thinking of selling, you may want to update or upgrade to increase your chances of interested buyers.
What was your favorite trend? Let us know!

Unanswered: Calling a program using a Perl script?
Hi all,
This is a really noobie question but here goes. I have a Unix program that I need to automate meaning run multiple times hands off. The program has 3 command prompts (inputs) where I have to type: "no", input filename, and output filename. Is there a way I can do this automatically with Perl?
Many thanks,

perl can't run your program automatically, at least not in the way you are thinking, you would use a cron tab to run your program.

The #Nintendo Switch is taking social media by storm, pretty much everyone is going nuts. The newly revealed console is the most unique, and will have huge amounts of 3rd party support from companies like Ubisoft, EA, Bethesda, FromSoftware, and more.
The Switch will also feature a crazy new controller system that will allow users to 'switch' between a typical console controller, a controller-with-screen, and two mini split controllers. If you missed the hubbub, check out our full breakdown of the Nintendo Switch.
But there's something more. Nintendo seems to be firmly committing to a much wider demographic than other consoles. Nintendo has always been quirkier and different than the other Big Two console companies, but the reveal of the Switch is especially striking. And it's a great thing for people who don't identify as gamers.
The 20s and 30s Millenial Demographic
In the whole reveal, we don't see a single kid. What we see in the Switch reveal trailer is a diverse cross section of young people in their 20s and 30s using the Switch. They have homes or apartments, they own dogs, they travel frequently, they own cars, they can afford to go to big #eSports events.
They're also a generation that is less likely to buy TVs, so the built-in screen could have a large appeal - even if we do see many very nice TVs in the reveal. You don't have to buy a TV just to use this thing, you can get it and immediately get to playing.
Importantly, the Switch's target demographic is likely to have grown up with a Nintendo #3DS. The original DS launched in 2005 in the US, that means kids who got a DS as teenagers are now the exact people running around in the reveal trailer.
The targeted demographic is young people more interested in the social aspect of gaming, not hardcore gamers obsessed with the tech or visuals.
While the Nintendo Switch has been previously promised to be competitive with the #PS4 and #XboxOne, we can make the safe bet that the Switch hardware isn't as strong as the other major consoles, especially not something like the PS4 Scorpio. The Switch is just too small and in-console space is a real issue, there's only so much high-tech graphics tech that can be stuffed into a small package.
But that seems to be ok. Because the target demographic doesn't mind those things too much.
People Who Play Games But Shy Away From Gamers
The concept of the 'gamer' has had a bad rap in the past few years, and maybe there is merit to the pronouncements that "'Gamers' Are Dead" after all. The hardcore gamers have the PS4 and Xbox One, but where does that leave more casual and more mobile gamers who only have an aging 3DS?
If you go back and rewatch the PS4 and Xbox One reveals, I think you'll notice a stark contrast to the Switch reveal.
The other two console reveals are very focused on the sorts of things that traditional 'hardcore gamers' are interested, while the Switch veers in a very different direction.
The Xbox One reveal: We get close ups and slow pans over the hardware while phrases like "ultimate precision," "ultimate realism," "cloud powered," and "cinematic gameplay" flash on the screen before a slew of features like movies, music, sports are listed off. The focus is the physical hardware, as an object of power that sits in your living room.
The PS4 reveal: The entire video shows off graphics and practical particle effect. We are pretty much exclusively showed off what games will look like on the system in full screen, without even a real look at what the system itself will look like. The focus is the visuals, a demonstration of the graphical power the PS4 offers.
The Switch reveal: Nintendo's reveal showed us, instead, how the console/handheld will exist in our lives. We get to see how we will interact with it on our couches, on planes, on the go, with friends, and the emphasis is on ease of use and transport. The focus is the flexibility of the console, and all the ways it can fill in the downtime gaps of your daily life or the ways you can bond with friends in person, together.
- The focus was not hardware specs
- The focus was not game image quality
- There was no slow panning on the hardware itself
- There was no direct screen feed of gameplay
- Because the Switch is not marketed towards hardcore gamers who would care about those things
The Switch is intentionally veering away from the 'hardcore' audience, and even the 'gamer' audience – the Switch seems made for people who play video games but would never call themselves a gamer.
Nintendo is Smart to Find a Way to Offer Games to a Different Audience
There are already PCs and two consoles for the hardcore gamer demographic. Why would Nintendo bother creating a direct competitor to the PS4 and Xbox One?
After all, did you really expect NINTENDO to create the next hardcore gamer-focused PS4-killer living room console? I doubt it.

We packed rather light for our long weekend in Alaska, so after our jeans got covered in mud from our hike, we decided to do some laundry in town before heading onward. While our clothes were in the washer, we enjoyed breakfast at the Bake Shop. Our timing was perfect because as soon as we sat down, a huge tour bus dropped off 30+ people!
We ordered the Sweet Roll to go, so that we could enjoy it during our drive later in the day. Rather than just a cinnamon sugar filling, these rolls had a fruity swirl and a huge pat of softened butter on the side.
They have a few egg scrambles and omelets on the menu, but I prefer to order something that I can't easily recreate at home. We each ordered three sourdough pancakes. They were thin and huge with that sourdough tang. If you're looking for a carby start to your day, be sure to check out the Bake Shop.

If you have never before practiced Self Care, do it NOW. All the planning and decision making that go into pulling the myriad aspects of your wedding into place can leave you stressed out beyond belief. This advice comes from wedding planners who know how important this is.
1. Take care of YOU first.
Do whatever you need to do to unwind, relax and sleep well. Take your vitamins, get healthy exercise and find effective emotional outlets for releasing the stress you feel. Remember your groom. Do fun things together and plan together. You need to be healthy and strong and resilient.
2. Get organized.
Get and stay organized. Start early and document every decision made around your wedding day. It doesn't matter if you keep records on line or in file folders or a paper bag. Find a system that works for you – implement it early on and keep it current.
3. Budget.
Together set a budget for the wedding and stick to it. Agree on priorities. Identify those key items that you both really want as well as those areas where you can "under" spend.
4. Show gratitude.
Remember to be grateful for all that you have and for everything others are doing for you. You will get gifts, good wishes and offers to help. Thank those who offer assistance whether you take them up on that offer or not. Because weddings are happy occasions, people feel good and want to help if they can. It's nice to be a part of a positive and joyous event.
5. Plan.
Remember your plan and stick with it. Yes, you'll hear of a great idea or see something at someone else's wedding that you'd like to adopt for yours. Be careful of playing "one ups man-ship". Do you really want that? What are you willing to give up for it? Some you'll want to copy and some you won't. This bride is having her big day and you'll have yours.
6. Ditch the guilt.
And the best advice of all – let go of bridal guilt! You can't make everyone happy all the time. It's not worth the worry and stress. Sometimes guilt is OK. It can help us deal with other's feelings. But most of the time we are simply afraid that we have let someone down or hurt someone's feelings. Do your best to be aware of the feelings of others and honor them when you can. But the best advice to avoid wedding day stress is to remember that on your wedding day, you are there to please yourself and your groom as you begin your new life together.

Ibi, Espana (PressExposure) January 17, 2012 -- This technique will allow the decoration of a large amount of products with different geometric shapes in an efficient and versatile way. Moreover, after several baths, a 360º surface covering of the piece to be decorated can be achieved, with a good finish and that includes any small grooves the product could have. Besides, the decoration is homogeneous throughout the entire surface.
AIJU has developed this research Project on personalized techniques for the decoration of toys, in which several technologies of the state-of-the-art have been assessed. Throughout its development, the applicability of Water Printing Technology in the decoration of scale cars has been observed, with several colors and designs, although other products could also be considered within this and/or other future activities.
"Water printing" is a decoration process for 3D pieces and can be used on diversified substrates i.e. metal, plastic, glass and hard wood. The process consists of printing the image to be used to decorate the piece on a water soluble Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) film. This film is placed in an immersion tank, filled with water, in such a way that the PVA film makes direct contact with water and is dissolved while the ink stays floating on the water.
Next, the ink is sprayed with a chemical activator and the sample is introduced into the water, so that the ink covers the sample and adheres to the surface. Finally, once the surfaces of the decorated piece are clean and dry, a transparent coating is applied to increase the durability of the piece and its resistance to weathering.
Miguel A. León, the project technician within AIJU states that "of all the technologies thoroughly researched for the decoration of 3D toy pieces, this is one of the most optimistic for the homogeneous decoration of geometrically complex pieces. We think that it will notably make easy the 3D decoration of a series of pieces with these characteristics and reduce the associated costs."
These conclusions have been obtained during the development of the project titled: "Personalized Decoration of Toys - DECORATOY" (Expedient: IMDEEA/2011/23), funded by IMPIVA within the R&D program and co-funded by FEDER funds. It arose due to the concern within the sector of the current industry tendencies, characterized by an increasing demand for personalized products, with short delivery times and short production runs.

A lawyer for an Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning in the Islamic republic told a British daily she was tortured before confessing on state television to involvement in her husband's murder.
Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani's lawyer told The Guardian newspaper on Thursday that his client, a 43-year-old mother of two, was forced to give the interview, recorded in Tabriz prison where she has been held for the past four years.
"She was severely beaten up and tortured until she accepted to appear in front of camera," lawyer Houtan Kian said on the newspaper's website.
The lawyer said he feared the Iranian authorities would act quickly to carry out the death sentence, which was reportedly commuted to hanging after an international outcry against her sentencing last month.
The Guardian gave no details of where the lawyer was speaking.
Another of her lawyers, Mohammad Mostafaie, fled Iran this month and is now in Norway after Iranian officials issued an arrest warrant for him and detained his wife.
The sentence against Mohammadi-Ashtiani was initially for "having an illicit relationship outside marriage," which drew condemnation from many countries.
But in the interview broadcast on state television, she said that a man with whom she was acquainted had offered to kill her husband and she let him carry out the crime.
In a separate interview with The Guardian last week, she said she had been acquitted of murder, "but the man who actually killed my husband was identified and imprisoned but he is not sentenced to death."
The television interview of the woman in Muslim face-covering was aired on Wednesday night during a political broadcast condemning Western "propaganda" over her case as part of pressure on Tehran over its nuclear programme.
The chief justice of East Azerbaijan province, where the alleged murder took place in 2006, told the TV show that Mohammadi-Ashtiani injected her husband with a substance that made him unconscious before the killer electrocuted him.
Iranian officials have maintained the death sentence was for murder, although initial reports said she was acquitted of that charge and convicted for "having an illicit relationship outside marriage."
The stoning sentence has been temporarily suspended by Iranian judiciary chief Sadeq Larijani.
On Thursday, Amnesty International criticised both the television interview and the Iranian authorities.
"Televised 'confessions' have repeatedly been used by the authorities to incriminate individuals in custody. Many have later retracted these 'confessions,' stating they were coerced to make them," it said in a statement.
"Statements made in such televised exchanges should have no bearing on Iran's legal system, or the call to review her case. This latest video shows nothing more than the lack of evidence against Sakineh Ashtiani."
Amnesty said a response to a defence request for a judicial review of the case is expected on or around August 15.
"It appears that Iran's authorities have orchestrated this 'confession' following the call for a judicial review and now appear to be inventing new charges of murdering her husband," it said.
"If the judiciary in Iran is to be taken seriously, this 'confession' needs to be disregarded and assurances given that it will not affect the review of her case," said Amnesty.

We're off to a running start in 2015, but each of us seems to be heading in a different direction. One challenge I'm working through is how to make sure we refuel in a healthy way when we're not together.
I'd bought a variety of energy bars over the years, and like Goldilocks, hadn't found one that was just right. Shortly before the end of the year, I read this profile of Chef Michael Chiarello, also an avid cyclist. In it, he talked about the energy bars he developed, which intrigued me. They're packed with whole grains, dried fruit, toasted almonds and a fair amount of protein. A modest amount of brown sugar and the unexpected addition of molasses give the bars an earthy sweetness. I had to give them a try. After I made a batch, I was sold, and so were Matthew and The Bug.
Here's a link to Chiarello's winning recipe (in case you are unable to access the Wall Street Journal link); my notes on the recipe are below:
You'll be toasting oats and sliced almonds in the oven, before combining them in a food processor with two types of raisins and dried apricots (I used a slightly sweeter dried apricot from the Farmers Market rather than a tart variety). Keep a close eye on the oven; my almonds took on a tawny hue in about eight minutes, so I pulled them from the oven then — sooner than the 10 minutes I expected.
Chiarello suggests about 10 pulses in the food processor to pulverize the fruit-oats-almond mixture to a coarse texture. I kept the setting on "pulse," but needed more than twice that to get small, bite-size pieces of the dried fruit. One alternative would be to do a quick chop of the dried fruit before tossing it into the food processor.
You'll need a stand-up mixer to make the batter. For a smoother batter, I'll cream the butter and brown sugar until fluffy before adding the molasses, egg and vanilla, rather than adding all of the ingredients into the mixer at once.
About the molasses — I had backstrap molasses in my pantry, not the "golden" called for in the recipe. Backstrap is more assertive in flavor, and slightly bitter. While it worked, I'll go with the golden molasses next time for a more subtle flavor.
Last thing: Reader comments noted that the bars were chewy after baking for 25 minutes and crumbly after 30. Since my primary complaint about energy bars is dryness, I opted for 25 minutes in the oven; they were delightfully chewy. May I suggest you do the same?
Now that I'm a make-your-own-energy-bar convert, two additional recipes have vaulted to the top of my must-try list: Deb Ryan's Almond Joy Energy Bars, which you can find on her blog, East of Eden Cooking. And, Winnie Abramson's Homemade Protein Bars on her blog, Healthy Green Kitchen.
Wishing you an energetic week ahead!

You know the format. A troubleshooter is sent in to transform a garden or a home or a company into the landscape or residence or business that the owner cannot, or will not do themselves – either because they cannot be bothered or, more charitably, because they do not have the time or the inclination or the vision. Maybe they need help finding a place to live; in which case Location, Location, Location's Kirstie Allsopp is on hand. And if they are unhappy with the way they look, there is always stylist Gok Wan to advise on how to cover up the flab.
These programmes are the antithesis of self-help. You cannot watch them without wondering why the people can't sort out their own attic/rock garden/gite/spare tyre like the rest of us. But many of these participants are far from helpless – they are simply availing themselves of the TV company's largesse and expertise in exchange for being part of the programme.
By contrast, the participants in The Estate We're In, a new BBC factual series starting today, are helpless, apathetic, depressed, miserable and lonely. The troubleshooter here, Silla Carron, has a challenge far greater than any of her TV counterparts: she is trying to transform some of the country's grimmest sink estates into vibrant communities. She can already boast success in her own neighbourhood in north London, whereupon she was drafted in to do the same in a run-down estate in Plymouth.
This time our doughty campaigner is in Bristol, on the Lawrence Weston Estate, a byword in the city for bleakness and despondency. If you are a tenant on the Lawrence Weston life has not been good to you. Even Carron, who has seen some pretty ghastly places, is struck by how soulless it is. Unlike in Plymouth, where the problems were largely aesthetic, this estate is entirely devoid of community spirit. There is open space but it is strewn with rubbish and dog excrement. Unwanted furniture is dumped in public areas because the owners cannot be fagged to remove it and assume someone else will do it for them.
There was a time when people living in privation still managed to sustain a neighbourliness that provided friendships and mutual assistance. Not here. Nobody ventures out. Carron cannot believe how eerily quiet the place is. The only person who provides a point of contact for the community is Vinnie, the caretaker, and he has to go when the city council cancels his contract (no doubt these are the sort of posts that will be cut first when the spending axe falls, rather than, say, crucial services like internal communications).
Carron's first impression of the Lawrence Weston is inauspicious. "It looks like a prison cell block. It's horrible." But worse than its appearance is the absence of any community structure, so she has to build one from scratch. In this she is helped by a quite remarkable young woman, Jenny, who has lived most of her 18 years on the estate yet has managed to retain an optimistic outlook that belies her upbringing.
Together Carron and Jenny, who is also doing her A-levels, knock on doors trying to whip up some enthusiasm for the tenants' meeting that will kick-start their attempts to turn the estate around. At one point it seems as though no one will respond; but on the night itself there are enough residents to get an association off the ground. Carron arranges for a council officer to visit the estate, almost certainly the first time anyone has paid it any attention.
This is a programme for our times. It touches on two of the themes of the recent general election: Broken Britain and the Big Society. The Lawrence Weston Estate is unquestionably broken and no attempt was made by the state in the form of the local council to put it back together again. The place was just a dumping ground for the dispossessed and the disregarded. The only resource they have is themselves – yet most live in pitiful isolation from one another. Carron, a 61-year-old grandmother whose determination is matched by her stubbornness and courage, recognises that while financial help can be extracted from the council, relying upon it is pointless. The people need to galvanise themselves and any community needs leaders who are prepared to do the work, organise the meetings and create a place worth living in. If Carron leaves behind her a group of people able and willing to do things for themselves, she will have achieved much.
The Estate We're In starts today and runs all week on BBC One at 9.15am

Hello All,
Well I have been working on stitching embroidery designs over the last week for the launch of Bernina Embroidery Software 8. I am doing a launch party for it on Saturday Sept 24th from 11 am to 2 pm at Seams Like Home. I am excited about the new software it has some awesome additions to it!
As for my calendar I have not been diligent in logging my studio time lately. I have not been feeling like I am getting enough studio time lately so I don't want to use it filling out the calendar. I am setting a new rule for myself starting today that when ever I get creative time I will log it before leaving the studio that day.
Back to sample creating,
Happy creating!
