Arbor Wine & Beer Supplies Homebrewing Contest at Fatty McGee's – 12/7/2013
This past December we were honored to be the judges for the first annual Arbor Wine & Beer Making Supplies Homebrewing Contest held at Fatty McGee's in East Isilp, NY. The event had a great turn out and there were some truly excellent beers entered into the competition. Family and friends came down to support the brewers and in a variation on the usual beer competition theme each brewer brought growlers of their brew to share with the attendees prior to judging wrapping up. While we were a bit nervous in the weeks leading up to the event once everything got rolling and we saw people enjoying themselves it was clear that we had been part of something unique.
First Annual Home Brew Contest at Fatty McGee's Sponsored by Arbor Wine & Beer Making Supplies Judged by Beer Loves Company
Saturday December 7th 2013 at 7:30 pm the first annual Home Brew Contest will be held at Fatty McGee's in East Islip, New York. The event was organized and is sponsored by Arbor Wine and Beer Making Supplies and they have asked us to be the judges. We are looking forward to meeting all of the brewers who are competing and of course trying their liquid labors of love. Two prizes are up for grabs: Most True to Style and Most Unique. Drink specials will be going on throughout the night and if we had to guess from the poster (which we do because we have no idea what the specials will be) they might have something to do with Blue Point Brewing Company beer. A homebrewing competition and specials on Blue Point beer, pretty cool eh?

The Integrators are sometimes considered to be the dagger pointed at the heart of the Unchained — unreasoning zealots who'd destroy themselves to serve an abomination. Others consider them to be misguided allies, but allies nonetheless, as the struggle to survive binds even the most disparate Unchained together. The Integrators often think of themselves as the only sane demons — the only ones who realize that Hell is not salvation, but damnation and suffering. God is not truly evil, and it can be made to change. They see the gears of the God-Machine and know so much more exists than what they can access now. Because of their Fall, they can no longer access the vast intelligence and surety of purpose that comforted them in their service as angels.
Most Integrators end up forming small groups that don't have any set nomenclature with others who share their views. These cells pool resources and work together to achieve their goals, but members are also encouraged to go out and socialize with other demons in the hopes that they'll stumble across something useful. As the quest for re-assimilation into the gears is something highly personal, most Integrators do not proselytize among their fallen brethren, believing that they have to arrive to the conclusion to return by themselves.
Integrators have a difficult time with other Unchained. Those who don't want to return to their service to the God-Machine tend to look at Integrators with contempt, suspicion, pity, or the sympathy reserved for those with severe Stockholm syndrome. Others try to change the mindset of these obviously confused Unchained and some extremists destroy them outright. Nonetheless, some Integrators join with Rings, if only to learn more about the Angels that will hunt them there.
Even Integrators have to avoid the attention of Hunter Angels, who are programmed to destroy instead of asking questions, or Rings of Unchained that see the Integrator as a danger to their safety. Most seek out Covers that act in concern with their Incarnation, to fulfill the purpose they were given when they were created. Others seek out solitary lives, to avoid any entanglement with humans or other Unchained that could be interpreted as disloyalty from the Creator.
Descent and HellEdit
Integrators rarely Fall intentionally. Some grow attached to their current mission to the God-Machine and, when a new assignment is issued, a slight doubt will trigger the Fall, much to the demons' dismay.
The Descent is seen as an arduous act of swimming against the current, sometimes dubbed the Ascent by Integrators. Many an Integrator seeks to change the God-Machine Itself with their return, or at least the nature of his individual relationship with It. With at least the conscious, self-aware part of his being intact, he can provide input and feedback to the God-Machine about the perceived flaws in Its operations. He could help the God-Machine analyze the orders he received that caused his Fall. He could provide insight into his own design flaws so that when the God-Machine summons or recycles other angels for similar missions, they no longer possess that flaw. Many Integrators seek to unlock their Cipher to become more valuable for the God-Machine once they have returned.
The goal of re-assimilation through acting in the best interests of the God-Machine is more complex than simply assisting angels or other agents in the God-Machine's projects. Most angels can't tell the difference between a Turncoat and more rebellious Unchained, so even an Integrator providing crucial assistance could find herself hunted down by loyal angels. As no Unchained wants to simply be reconstructed (otherwise he would have become an Exile), even Integrators seek to avoid this fate.
Integrators see Hell as the ultimate severance from the God-Machine and as such, a location of endless torment not unlike those found in mortal mythologies. Some, however, commit themselves to finding it in order to report back to the God-Machine, so that the Creator can claim Hell for Its own. The goal of the Integrators is Re-Assimilation instead, which comes in multiple flavours:
- Foundational Integrationism knows that somethings unpleasant await outside the reach of the God-Machine and this is to be avoided at all costs. A content existence can only be achieved in the service to the Creator, everything else will be harmful.
- The true divinity movement believes that the Creator is not divine, but merely a powerful tool of the true god and they seek to serve this enigmatic entity
- The faulty overseer hypothesis believes that Hell will be a maintenance for the God-Machine once it has amassed to many Glitches and Bugs to work properly
- The celestial insurgency are a hidden group that have committed themselves to destroy the God-Machine from within, by infiltrating its ranks
Condition: Angel EmpathyEdit
Integrators seek to recapture as much as possible from their former angelic identity. They take a Beat when they earn the suspicion from their Ring for their interest in Angels and during the Conclusion of their Condition, they may learn valuable information about the Angel they studied.

Investors Defend FASB Role on IFRS
Representatives of large institutional investors told the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday that they had serious qualms about the London-based International Accounting Standards Board replacing the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board as the primary arbiter of accounting rules in this country.
Speaking at an SEC panel focusing on investor views of international financial-reporting standards, the representatives roundly supported the goal of establishing a single set of high-quality global financial-reporting standards in the United States in the form of IFRS. But they suggested that the IASB, the current promulgator of IFRS, lacks the backbone and outreach capability of FASB — qualities that would be needed for a global system to succeed.
While the establishment of high-quality uniform standards should be a goal, achieving that goal "with due process and without undue political pressure" may be more important, said David Larsen, a managing director at Duff & Phelps, an investment-banking firm. Noting that FASB has withstood such pressure in the past, he said there is "some doubt about IASB" in that regard. (Larsen is an adviser to FASB's Valuation Resource Group on valuation-related standards.)
For his part, Kevin Spataro, a senior vice president at Allstate, said that while the insurer, a big institutional investor, could accept IFRS as a single global standard, the IASB would need to focus on achieving better outreach to investors and other groups — the kind of "formal continuous feedback from all constituents" that FASB has established.
The issue of a possible diminishment of FASB's role if the United States decides to go to a more international system arose recently in the wake of a May 26 SEC staff paper that looked at a possible framework for IFRS adoption. The paper described a "condorsement" (combining the words convergence and endorsement) model for IFRS. During a transition period, FASB would continue to hold sway in this country over a convergence of U.S. GAAP and IFRS. But once that melding has been achieved, FASB would merely endorse the standards the IASB has developed. "Most significantly, the FASB would participate in the process for developing IFRS, rather than serving as the principal body responsible for developing new accounting standards or modifying existing standards under U.S. GAAP," said the staff paper.
Incorporating the metaphor of putting "bumper guards on a bowling alley," Larsen suggested that such curbs would be needed if IFRS is incorporated. That's because it is famously a "principles-based" system offering wide latitude for interpretation. To maintain some level of consistency in such a system, "a strong and vibrant FASB" would be needed, he said.
Calling himself a "fan of the condorsement idea," Gregory Jonas, a managing director at Morgan Stanley, said that nevertheless he prefers a gradual adoption of international standards that "hedges against risk of IFRS failure."
Like other panelists, Jonas suggested that one risk in changing from U.S. GAAP to IFRS is the jettisoning of specific accounting standards in favor of principles requiring too much interpretation. "We need to be careful about jumping on the principle-only [bandwagon]," he said.
In fact, some advocates of a principles-based approach led by the IASB have pushed for a minimum of guidance from the board in order to force financial-statement users to come up with their own interpretations, said Gerry White, president of Grace & White, an investment-advisory firm.
To counter the lack of specificity and uniformity that might result from an overreliance on interpretation, investors need a strong regulatory infrastructure such as the one currently in operation in the United States, said White, who also chairs the Corporate Disclosure Policy Council of the CFA Institute. In that respect, a government body might be a better interpreter "than auditors meeting in private," he said.

Brief of the Case
Bombay High court held In the case of M/s Nagpur Engineering Co. Pvt. Ltd. vs. CIT. that in order to attract ceiling u/s 40(c), the payment must be a periodical payment. A Lumsum payment or one time payment is not covered under section 40(c) of Income Tax Act, 1961.
Facts of the Case
In this case, company makes commission payments to his directors over and above the remuneration paid to them. While assessment, AO calculated the reasonable figure of commission and disallowance made u/s 40(c)(iii). Disallowance was upheld by the CIT(A) and ITAT. The following two questions have refereed by the ITAT on the application of assessee –
"1.Whether the commission on sales paid by the assessee constituted "the provisions of any remuneration or benefit or amenity" within the meaning of Section 40(c)(iii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961?
2.That in view of the findings recorded by the Tribunal that the claim of commission paid was reasonable, any disallowance under section 40(c) is permissible ?"
Contention of the Assessee
The ld Councel of the assessee submitted that the commission paid to the Directors was a lumsum payment based on the annual turnover. Such payments are not subject to section 40 (c). He also refered certain judgments to substantiate his contentions.
Contention of the Revenue
The ld Counsel of the revenue submitted that in this case commission has been paid to the Directors of the company which were under its control and monthly breakup of such commission can be made even if payment has been made in lumsum. Further he submitted that in case Directors are being paid remuneration and commission has been paid over and above it, it will be covered u/s 40(c)(iii).
Held by CIT (A)
The disallowance u/s 40(c)(iii) was upheld by the CIT(A). It has relied upon on two judgments namely (1996) 217 ITR (378) (Bom) (Sapt Textile Products India Ltd. vs. CIT) and (1994) 210 ITR 770 (CIT vs. Colgate Palmolive (India)) in which applicability of provisions under section 40(c) and section 40A(5) were discussed. Wherein it has held that payment was done on retirement, gratuity and one of the director is allowed not includible under this section. It has further observed that the maximum ceiling in sec 40(c) is clearly in respect of periodic payments only.
Held by ITAT
The order of first appellate authority was confirmed by the ITAT regarding the disallowance of excessive commission paid to directors.
Held by High Court
The Hon'ble Apex court has approved the finding of Karnataka High court in the case (1980) 121 ITR 551 (Kar) ( T.T.Krishnamachari & vs. ITO) that section 40(c) refers to an expenditure incurred by making periodical payments to a person mentioned in that clause apparently for any personal service that may be rendered by him. It is also clear that in order to attract ceiling under section 40(c), the payment in dispute must be shown to be a periodical payment. A lumsum payment or onetime payment does not fall in it. In present case the fact that commission was payable only if annual turnover exceeds Rs. 2 Crores is not in dispute. Thus payment of commission was contingent upon turnover and not periodical. In their findings of CIT (A) stated that commission paid was not excessive or unreasonable. Hence, following this law, we find that the commission on sales paid by the assessee could not subject to provisions of section 40(c)(iii).
Accordingly, answered both questions in favour of the assessee.

Some groups like the Los Angeles Conservancy offer tours of the theaters. However, Night on Broadway is an opportunity to go into several of the Broadway theaters as they were meant to be enjoyed. The theaters, lit in the evening and hosting performances, gleam. Guests may enjoy their beauty to the fullest, not just as stagnant buildings, but as vital, relevant parts of the community. Built in the 1920s and 1930s, their opulence and over-the-top grandeur are a sight to behold. Seven of the remaining theaters opened their doors so the public, free of charge, could enjoy them and get excited about their preservation.
Lovely photos! I do hope to get the chance to go and visit those wonderful movie palaces one of these days. Sounds like the perfect night to do it!

A judge has ordered attorneys for the North Texas teenager who killed four people in a deadly wreck to turn over the records of the psychologist who claimed the teen suffered from "affluenza."
Judge R.H. Wallace Jr.'s Friday ruling rejected arguments by Ethan Couch's attorneys.
Source: KDFW
Wallace ordered Couch's attorneys to provide him with Miller's records as well as records from a private California facility where Couch is believed to have been treated for substance abuse. The judge said he would review the records and decide whether they should be given to McConnell's side.
Michael Yanof, an attorney for Couch, said Friday he would likely file a request with a state appeals court to overturn Wallace's order before the June 27 deadline to turn over the records.
Wallace did not immediately rule on whether Miller will have to testify again.

CloudFlare recently released an app for Android and iOS that makes it easy for users to encrypt their DNS queries using CloudFlare's 22.214.171.124 DNS resolver.
For once, I'm really not sure what the point is of a security tool like this. One of the criteria for using the 126.96.36.199 app is you need to turn off any VPN you have activated. But I'm not really certain what the use case would be for wanting encrypted DNS but not a VPN.
Personally, I use ProtonMail's VPN on my phone when I want privacy from the local network operator. There are issues with Proton, but it's security is more than good enough for anyone not concerned about state actors in their threat model.

Can be primary (congenital) or secondary. It presents in childhood and adulthood, and can affect both sexes.
Primary disease (most common cause being common variable immunodeficiency [CVID]) may have a delay of several years between clinical presentation and reaching a diagnosis.
Secondary disease causes include malabsorption, nephrotic syndrome, haematological malignancy, and chemotherapy.
Patients are predisposed to recurrent upper and lower respiratory tract infections.
Treatment is tailored to specific causes and individual patient needs, and includes intravenous or subcutaneous immunoglobulin replacement.
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a medical emergency and suspected cases require immediate specialist centre referral for diagnosis and treatment.
Hypogammaglobulinaemia occurs when serum immunoglobulin levels are reduced. This occurs due to a variety of underlying primary/congenital intrinsic immune system defects (e.g., common variable immunodeficiency) and secondary immunodeficient states (e.g., medication-related, haematological malignancy, protein-losing diseases). The most commonly recognised clinical feature is recurrent infection.

Question: Dear Luise: I have 3 adult sons and 4 grandchildren. I was at one time close to at least 2 of my sons, and even the daughter in law used to keep in touch sometimes. That has totally changed and I don't get cards anymore from her or calls. I do send cards and gifts to my 2 grandsons and when my son calls once in awhile I get a chance to talk to them. I see them very rarely. My oldest son is in South America, and I have a granddaughter there. I used to talk to her on the phone frequently, but am losing desire to call at all because I guess I am tired of everything being one sided. My son is not with the mother and he has nothing to do with me or his brothers for quite awhile. He will be visiting the states this summer but to visit my mother who has inherited a lot of money, but will not come to my state so I can visit with my granddaughter. I have only met her once for 4 days and she is 6 yrs. old. Now my last son and daughter in law just had a baby girl about 6 weeks ago. It is very darling and everything went well when my husband and I visited. This son is the one that is more attentive to me and usually caring. But sometimes when I call which is not often, I might mention what is going on with my life that is positive for me instead of concentrating on a disability I have gotten these last few years. Instead of saying something nice back, well that's good, he will be silent, and all I am doing is waiting for a response, so I might say "hello" because there is total silence. He is annoyed with me that I thought he might respond to the news I am telling him which I have mentioned may be an encouraging thing for me to keep my mind off my condition. Then it's almost like he is looking for a fight with me. I try not to fall into this route as most of the time we do have a nice relationship; the question is I really am worn out trying to walk on eggshells with my sons, daughter-in-laws, etc. I am not an intrusive mother-in-law or mother and if anything I have tried to get approval from all, and show respect to them. I am not abusive and have a cheerful personality most of the time. I want a relationship with all the members of my family, but I feel I can't do right anymore and then this depression and hurt sets in. I know you can't make people love you or accept you even if it's your own flesh and blood. My new husband keeps telling me that they will always be resentful of me for divorcing their father. We were together 24 years! Mother's Day is coming and I don't want to be home to receive any calls. I would like your opinion on this situation. Thank you. J.
Answer: Dear J: You can lead a horse to water but it ends there. Your kids seem to be more interested in what's going on in their own lives. There isn't much you can do about that. They can sometimes be nasty about divorce and just want you to stay married no matter how miserable you are. It sounds to me like it's time for you to focus on your physical issues and your new hubby and let the family wander off if that's what they want to do. You can't hold it together all by yourself.
Come on over to www.wisewomenunite.com and meet the rest of my "family. Blessings, Luise

business plan contohThe Wall Street Journal is the widest circulated newspaper in the United States with a circulation of over 2 million copies. Why would hedge funds participate in unity and why would banks benefit? The answer is an effortless one particular. Hedge Funds had the energy to take the market place down as they sold great stocks in order to deleverage their positions. And they have the power to drive the market back up. Hedge funds have an interest in assisting their counterparty buddies, the massive banks. Hedge fund see forward and see a lull in poor news. They have the potential to get out of the market place on a moment's notice if undesirable news is worse than anticipated. Trust me, this approach is rigged.

Failure to pay attention to business and corporate law can land you in a planet of difficulty-each legal and financial.

Half of your commence-up expense for beginning a modest housekeeping enterprise will go to cleaning supplies and the other half will go to advertising for consumers.

I like to use the newspapers since it appears a tiny far more skilled and it has usually worked for me.

Why would hedge funds participate in unity and why would banks benefit? The answer is an effortless a single. Hedge Funds had the energy to take the market down as they sold very good stocks in order to deleverage their positions. And they have the power to drive the industry back up. Hedge funds have an interest in helping their counterparty buddies, the big banks. Hedge fund see forward and see a lull in undesirable news. They have the ability to get out of the market on a moment's notice if poor news is worse than anticipated. Trust me, this process is rigged.
Because it is virtually not possible to list all sorts of hypothetical behavior that a company would regard as unethical and come up with a universally accepted code of conduct, following listing a lot of such examples, some businesses offer the broad guideline of "never do it if it doesn't feel right or if you would be embarrassed reading about it in the neighborhood newspaper or hearing about it on the nearby evening news." Right now, professions such as medicine, law, and accounting have expert codes of ethics. Regardless of this, a quantity of spectacular financial frauds had been exposed.
The Wall Street Journal is a widely read newspaper obtainable in internation editions for US, European, and Asian readers. It is presently owned by Dow Jones & Company. While the paper mainly focuses on enterprise and economic news, it has in recent years widened its scope by such as sections that consist of such topics as meals and dining, culture, books, entertainment, style, travel, and other diverse subjects.
The stock marketplace had one more small push upwards yesterday. This morning, the news that Portugal was profitable in selling about a billion euros in government bonds has stock futures increasing once more. As I have been saying, this bear industry rally has instant-term life left in it and that is specifically what has been happening—stocks continue with tiny spikes upwards.
Dear reader, if there is one thing you discover from me, it is this: What we read in the newspaper or see on the news about the economy has currently been discounted (taken into account) by the world's smartest investor, the stock marketplace. For example, the stock industry predicted the future in the true estate market in 2005, when the Dow Jones U.S. construction index (an index comprising the world's greatest new homebuilders) topped out.
Recent Facebook tweaks are attempts to appropriate issues with regard to fake news and foreign meddling in the U.S. election.

Facebook stock value fell nearly 5% right after the news release but rebounded rapidly.

Konark Temple- Sun Temple of India
Konark Sun Temple is a 13th century temple located about 35 km northeast of Puri district, Orissa. It was built by the Kalinga ( Now Odisha) emperor Narasingha Deva I. Narasingha Deva I was a very powerful king of Orissa who defeated Turko-Afgan rulers of Mamluk Dynasty and many other Foreign Invaders of his time.
Konark Temple was dedicated to Sun God. The entire temple is built as a massive – 100 ft high chariot of Sun God having 24 wheels of 12ft and 7 horses. Once it was over 200 ft.
Over a period of time the temple was destroyed, and partial remains exist. Some sources say it was destroyed by Muslim rulers from 15th to 17th century while some say its due to natural damage.
It's a UNESCO world heritage site. It's an iconic tourist place.
The structures have various artwork and themes and famous for its erotic scenes.
Why the outer walls of Konark Temple has various erotic (Kama) sculptures?
Ancient India was open to sex and culturally much more advanced than other civilizations. There are various reasons why the outer walls of the temple are craved with erotic sculptures,
It was for sex education. As a part of Tantra when all sexual desires and perversions are fulfilled by humans then only one can attain higher spiritual bliss. So, in Konark Temple the inner sanctum sanctorum- the soul of the temple is without any such sculpture. That very well means that without fulfilling Kama or Carnal desire one can not attain moksha or liberation.

SOURCE: Daily News.
ALBANY — Down dramatically in the polls, little-known Republican U.S. Senate candidate Wendy Long is using crusading Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara as a hail mary for publicity.
Long on Wednesday ripped three-term Democratic incumbent Chuck Schumer for not telling the Daily News last week whether he thinks the next President should keep Bharara, whose office is currently investigating the Cuomo and de Blasio administrations.
"If elected, I will recommend to President Trump that he keep Preet Bharara on the job; he's got a lot more work to do," Long said while crediting Bharara with tackling government corruption.
"New York voters agree on this: There is too much corruption in government, federal, state, and local. I am grateful that Preet Bharara had the courage to take on this fight and that he took out (former Assembly Speaker) Shelly Silver and (ex-Senate Majority Leader) Dean Skelos," she added.
Bharara once served as legislative counsel to Schumer, who recommended him to President Obama for the U.S. attorney post.
Schumer's office had no comment. Last week, Schumer, who as New York's senior senator recommends who the U.S. Attorney should be, praised the job Bharara is doing but said he wants to wait until after the presidential election before taking a position on the matter.
"Obviously, I agree with most New Yorkers, he's doing a very good job," Schumer said last week.
Long on Wednesday questioned whether Schumer wouldn't take a public position on Bharara because he wants to instead reward "one of his wealthy New York City lawyer donors with this political plum or he's getting worried about Preet Bharara's rooting out corruption in the New York State legislature and New York City government, and turning his attention to whether Hillary is guilty of public corruption for having used her office as Secretary of State to enrich the Clinton Foundation."
A Siena College poll released Wednesday found Schumer holds a commanding 63% to 24% lead over Long.

グラム/スリーズ/ヘア・メタル・マニア御用達レーベルDemon Doll Recordsから巨大な荷物が到着!コメントは後ほど。取り敢えずレーベルのコメントを載せておきますね。
You asked and the Metal Gods have answered. After twenty eight long years, VICE lead vocalist Billy Ian and Demon Doll Records have delivered what could be considered one of the greatest unreleased Hair Metal bands of all time. The day has arrived when you can finally pick up your official copy of "Hot...Just Looking At You".
If the cover doesn't make you sweat, then the music certainly will!! One listen and you will know this band should have been platinum. Songs the like of "You're So Far Away" and the title track "Hot...Just Looking At You" would have been radio and Headbangers Ball mainstays.
This band had it all, the hooks, the looks and the major label deal everyone wanted. The late eighties would be their stomping grounds and "Hot...Just Looking At You" their calling card. Produced by Hirsch Gardner (formerly of the band New England), VICE deliver nothing short of a Hair Metal masterpiece - which up until now has never been officially released. Bootleg copies regularly go for $100.00 or more on the market.
The songs have been digitally re-mastered and the packaging includes a band biography and lyrics to every song (thank you to our partners at Metal Legacy Records). This disc is pure magic, if you love Whitesnake, Dokken, Warrant (hell - any great Hair Metal band!) then this disc will be in your rotation for years to come.

I have no idea, one thing & I know exactly
A moment postponed over and over is finally at hand. Not today or tomorrow, but over the next few weeks facts will be weighed to determine if Stikmantica, the enterprise, can continue. However successful I may be as an artist creating a body of work, as an entrepreneur promoting and capitalizing the art I am a flat-footed failure. My inventions are little known and Stikmantica is broke. While there is no question that I'll continue elaborating Habdvarsha through some medium or other, a route forward is unclear and the entire built infrastructure of Stikmantica may fall.
Fingers only point one direction. I have never figured out how to describe the output adequately, much less engagingly, or to what audience. The result is an almost complete absence of sales, and a consequence of no sales is that there is no money to purchase copies of Nod's Way once it hits release date. By the time the files are ready, fees for uploading and distributing the title will be covered by existing Patreon pledges, but actual copies of the book will not.
This is like running out of gas short of the finish line. I have nothing left to sell or trade, and no fall back resource except Stikmantica titles. Books are not selling, ebooks are not selling, and patrons have not pledged. All of Habdvarsha to date hangs ready to catch fire from a spark. Part of the drive to finish Nod's Way is ambition to show the scope and worth of everything that already exists. There is not enough worth in the bank to make ambition real. I have no idea how the book I am creating will be printed. It is not just that Stikmantica is out of funds. I, Robert, the author of these lines, am, too.
Angels should note that surprise appearance of a visionary publicist who knows and understands Habdvarsha has always been and remains welcome. Generous terms of engagement await the right vision. A semi-mystical, earth-centered mashup of literary fiction, folktale, anarcho-surrealism, pop culture and conceptual art—can't you taste what inspired spin could make of that?
Money is also welcome. Please buy a book. Order print titles from Stikmantica or through your favorite retailer. Ebooks of my two currently in-print works of fiction are available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and iTunes. Please also consider pledging as my patron through Patreon. A dollar each per month from many friends could underwrite Stikmantica into a sustainable future.
In the thick of uncertainty, one thing I do know is that Nod's Way is the last project so thoroughly reliant on vector graphics that I shall undertake. My eyes are rejecting screens. The physical labor of pulling this book to a close grows uncomfortable and difficult. Coincidentally or not, I hunger to get back to manual drawing. The attraction is magnetic; the activities restful to over-stressed eyes. Peer into the future to see if you can spot a creaky silverback somewhere out to pasture with ink and colored pencils.
Re. Nod's Way itself, another thing I know is exactly what needs attention from one moment to the next in the final development of the Dvarsh oracle. Front matter begs another draft, but all the other pieces for the rest of the book have been built. Work sessions repeat a succession of processes, moving a constellation of parts page by page. The competence of working out and implementing design helps hold at bay nasty questions about the wisdom of staking so much on a solution for which no lack has been expressed. I want to claim the volume assembling is beautiful, but I am no one to judge. It is well made and unusual. Anyone may say so with confidence.

Train inspection and garage repair workers from the Urumqi Railway Administration installed polyvinyl chloride crystal glass on passenger train windows to protect them from fierce gusts of wind.
It is said the new crystal glass made of polyvinyl chloride will prevent windows from breaking into pieces and is acid and alkali-resistant.
Trains running in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region constantly suffer strong wind assaults with sand and stones. Trains and passengers may be in danger if the windows break.
The other side of the train will be not put up with the new glass material. It is left clear for passengers to escape in case of accidents.

Learning to Lead from The Inside Out
- POSTED Monday, March 19, 2018
- CATEGORY: Leadership Challenges, Leadership Lessons, Personal Effectiveness
- TAGS: Tags: learning to lead, Self-leadership; reflection
- No Comments
If there's anything I've learned over the years, it is that we must learn to lead ourselves before we can effectively lead others.
In fact, I'd go so far as to say that learning and living this lesson and helping others learn and live it is the raison d'etre of my work.
Our ability to lead ourselves first is the secret ingredient of effective leadership.
Thus, I was pretty excited when Connie Steele of Flywheel Associates asked me if we could have a chat about this topic for her "Strategic Momentum" podcast. It was so much fun to delve into this topic!
Here are a few of the points we cover in the 30-minute podcast.
- Leaders have a lot of pressure these days and are always under a spotlight – every action, every word, and every behavior is constantly being interpreted.
- Leaders often tend to put themselves on the back-burner. By doing so, they really do a disservice to those that they're leading.
- Leading self is about more than self-care (although that is important too). Leading self requires looking inward to understand our outer behavior and how we're showing up. This is so critical for leaders whose tone, actions, words and more impact other people in every interaction.
- Learning to reflect and pay attention to ourselves is an important part of learning to lead. The good news is that this is a muscle that can be built and strengthened.
Can you relate? I'd love to hear your experiences.
You can find the podcast on iTunes, on the Google Play Store, or on the Flywheel Associates website.
PS – The image I used here will make sense to those who have seen the movie "Inside Out." If you haven't yet seen it, add it to your list! Completely worth a watch. It speaks to this topic in a really entertaining way!

Preecha Jennarong, Rawai Municipality Chief Administrative Officer (Palad), told The Phuket News that firefighters were called to the scene of the fire, near the windmill, at 2:38pm.
Many firefighters were dispatched as a precaution, but were able to put out the fire in about 10 minutes, he said.
"We believe the fire was started by someone dropping a cigarette by the side of road," he added.
"Even though it was a small fire, we must be concerned about it. Many tourists drive through this area, and the conditions are very dry. Grass will easily catch fire, especially grass near the road," Mr Preecha explained.
"We have also issued a ban on burning trash in the area," he added.
"I want to tell both local people and tourists to be careful. People must not throw their cigarette butts on the grass," Mr Preecha said.
"Rawai Municipality Fire Department is ready 24 hours. If you see a fire in Rawai, report it by calling us directly at 076-613800," Mr Preecha said.

I love replicating antique adaptation rugs but also design my own. Looking at old rugs in Early American Life magazine was my inspiration to learn to hook.
Monday, January 18, 2016
Closing in on My Sheep
During the hooking process of the border have used ONLY worms from my baggies. Numerous times I wonder if my choices are good putting a color beside another...as that color is just two or three blocks down so now what?? And also the value in color needs to be in the equation.
Looking at the rug above I'm questioning my three (3) tan blocks and wonder if they should be another light value color. OMG, my friend Evelyn Lawrence continually tells me I'm my own worst enemy (critic).
So tonight perhaps I'll continue to whip the edge of A Day in the Country with the wool yarn as I've not finished the second side and there's more to do. Then I'll have an opportunity to look at my sheep rug.
OH!!!!! I think that when taking a picture of a rug that I should put a level on top to be sure it is placed on the floor straight. However, perhaps that right side is shorter because there is unhooked space there. Hmmm, ya think?
Have a great evening folks. I'm cold here and happy to have some homemade soup to warm my 'innards' as my family used to say.
7 comments:
I love your sheep, it looks great, but those tan color blocks do seem to stand out a bit, but it could just be the color on my computer. I am very cold here tonight, wind chills 15 below for us, and temps around 5. I could use a bowl of soup too.ReplyDelete
Saundra, your friend is right. You are your worst ennemy. those tan blocks are perfect. I double clicked on your picture to enlarge it and it's so beautiful.ReplyDelete
Just keep hooking those 4 left little squares and you're done.
I turned the heat on in my hooking room and finished my rug. Now I need to dye some yarn to whip the edge. Do you think it will get done?
I like how it looks and yes, we are our own worst critics, but if it bugs you or is not pleasing to your eye, then change it. I go by what makes me happy, not what is right or wrong;) Now i need to decide on a small mat to go on my new chair, want to use scraps to make it scrappy to match, so might do a simple starfish star.ReplyDelete
Evelyn is right! I think it looks great, but as Debbie said, if it bothers you, it would be an easy fix.ReplyDelete
Hugs :)
Hi Saundra,ReplyDelete
Your rug is BAA-UTIFUL!! Perhaps once you get it all hooked, you can look at it again to see how you feel about those colors and then decide?
I know that it will be amazing no matter what you decide!
Soup sounds sooo good right now......it is even chilly here in AZ and I could use of bowl myself!!!! Enjoy, and stay warm!
Warm Hugs~
Hi Saundra,ReplyDelete
Don't second guess your color selections so much. They are always spot on. Take for instance your "Nantucket Broom Ride" which is featured in Kris Miller's blog today as the Rug of the Day. She describes the journey you two did to select the right wool for use in your rug. She also admits she has that pattern put aside for her to hook.
Beautiful !ReplyDelete
Your hooking always makes me smile.
Get your snow shovel out, we will be hunkered down this weekend ! ;)

After The Cocktail Waitress, I decided to continue on my journey through some of the masters of pulp fiction. While I wouldn't exactly call Raymond Chandler a "pulp" author – his stories are, generally speaking, regarded to aspire to a higher, more "literary," echelon – – holy shit, Alaina, can you be more of an adjunct literary professor seeking tenure? Christ, I realize it's 10:30 and you just took a cocktail of melatonin, Aleve, and Claritin, but come on, those aren't supposed to interact in a way to make you sound like a fuckin' snob.
Or like you grew up in Southie. Which you fucking didn't.
Uh, ANYWAY. Basically, Raymond Chandler and his works occasionally get grouped into the "detective novel" genre and not necessarily "pulp" – pulp implies a more lurid tone, more explicit; more sex and violence. Philip Marlowe tends to be on the more restrained side of the equation.
You'll hopefully remember that my first foray into the world of pulp fiction was a brilliant film by one of the best directors of our generation. I'm referring to Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, written and directed by Shane Black. (Oh, did you think — no, that would be incorrect. I haven't seen that movie yet.) If you haven't had a chance to watch this masterpiece, please set some time aside in the near future to do so. I promise: you will not be disappointed. It takes place at Christmas, even – you can kick off the season with a bang!
DISCLAIMER: As the calendar has not even approached Halloween as of this writing, PLEASE DO NOT START CHRISTMAS EARLY.
What does this movie – starring Robert Downey Jr., in case I forgot to lead with that – have to do with Raymond Chandler and the beginnings of pulp fiction? The plot of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang follows Harry Lockhart (RDJ), a two-bit thief who gets mixed up in a seedy Hollywood murder mystery, as well as a missing persons case. Strung throughout the plot of the movie is the fact that the femme fatale, Harmony, had a childhood obsession with a pulp series starring detective Johnny Gossamer. The dialogue is very hard-boiled, there's a slight Chinatown element to one aspect of the plot (think Faye Dunaway's character), and as Harry is fond of telling his private detective mentor, Perry: the detective always starts out with two cases, but by the end of the book, boom — it's the same fucking case.
Another relationship that Kiss Kiss Bang Bang has with Farewell, My Lovely? All the act breaks in the movie are titled, and they're all titled after Raymond Chandler novels. I believe Farewell, My Lovely may be Day 2, but I wouldn't swear to it in a court of law. It's been a while since I've watched the movie.
Okay, the melatonin just kicked in. Let's kick this into high gear.
Philip Marlowe is the private detective that stars in Raymond Chandler's world. He inhabits Los Angeles in the late 1930s, early 1940s, and if you're picturing Humphrey Bogart in the role, you would be correct, because Humphrey Bogart played Marlowe in the adaptation of The Big Sleep. Ooh, which I have on DVD now! YES. ANYWAY. Marlowe begins Farewell, My Lovely by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This time, he gets (almost literally) dragged into a bar fight by a paroled convict named Moose Malloy. Moose is looking for his lost love, Little Velma, who used to be a singer at the bar where he and Marlowe run into each other. Only the gin joint where she used to warble dried up, and she didn't leave any crumbs behind her.
(I'd say I was sorry for that last sentence, but y'all know that I really enjoyed that.)
When no one knows what happened to Velma, Moose starts shooting up the place, then runs off in the kerfuffle, leaving Marlowe to explain what happened and why he was connected to the whole thing when the cops show up. Nulty, a cop who isn't lucky enough to be only two days away from retirement (based on his attitude), practically shanghais Marlowe into doing his footwork for him. While Marlowe is searching for leads in the middle of nothing, he gets a call to be a bodyguard for a fellow who needs to run out of town and drop a ransom in exchange for a very valuable necklace, belonging to his (the fellow's) lady-friend. And in this instance I actually mean friend, because the fellow happens to be gay. Marlowe agrees because Nulty's not actually paying him squat for trying to find a lead on Moose, and everything would have gone okay except for the fact that the whole drop was a setup, Marlowe gets beaned on the head and the fellow gets dead.
As the two cases intersect and become the same fucking case, Marlowe meets two women – one becomes almost his Girl Friday, someone he almost sees himself getting serious over. The other is a classic femme fatale, full of sex and mysteries. Throughout the course of his case(s), Marlowe gets kidnapped, knocked unconscious, drugged, involved with a fake psychic, shot at, and almost drowns. But throughout everything he perseveres, because Marlowe belongs to that most rare of breeds of man: the honest kind. Keep in mind that Nulty's not paying him, and that Marlowe hasn't been paid for his bodyguarding work from the fellow, because the fellow is now most certainly dead. He doesn't have any other reason to pursue either of these cases except for his curiosity and sense of justice. He may not always play the white knight (as evidenced by the deal he cuts with a shady mayor at the end of the book), but his intentions are always of the good.
It should be noted that, as the book was written in the 1940s, you will experience a fair amount of racist and derogatory terminology. So, spoiler alert, I guess.
Marlowe doesn't have grand aspirations in his life; he's not looking to make a name for himself, or to climb a political ladder. He's just searching for truth and justice in a very dark and underhanded corner of our world, using the resources he had available to him while still hoping for an easier outcome:
I needed a drink, I needed a lot of life insurance, I needed a vacation, I needed a home in the country. What I had was a coat, a hat and a gun. I put them on and went out of the room. [p. 238]
When the going gets tough, Marlowe puts his gun in his shoulder holster, his hat on his head, and his feet out the door. He does what needs to be done because in his town, no one else will.
Grade for Farewell, My Lovely: 3.5 stars

The Harvest

Short Story by: Aleksander Azrael
I flicked open my little black Zippo lighter and held the flame to the cigarette between my lips. I took a long, slow drag on the tobacco, feeling the smoke fill my lungs. Leaning back in my chair, I exhaled a thick cloud of acrid smoke.
"Aren't you forgetting about me?" I opened my eyes halfway and was surprised to see Jackson sitting upright on the couch across from me. He held his hand out like a homeless man begging for food. It didn't seem right, but I gave him a cig anyway. Jackson held the tobacco in his mouth as I lit it for him. He inhaled, some of the smoke leaking out of the hole in his throat.
Jackson plucked the cancer stick from between his teeth and leaned forward.
"Why'd you do it, Will?" he asked me. I couldn't believe he had just asked me that, but I answered him regardless.
"You know why. I'm surprised you even have to ask." I said, somehow controlling my shock.
"You're the bad guy here, Will. Don't treat me like I'm some great adversary." Jackson said in an unusually normal tone, considering the situation he was in. He took a drag on his cigarette and flicked ash off the end.
"I never did anything wrong." he said after a few moments of silence.
"Bull." I said. I didn't raise my voice. I was actually quite surprised at my self-control.
"If anything," Jackson continued. "I got back on the right trail after being lost in the woods for awhile." I chuckled softly and blew a jet of smoke towards my shoes.
"So betrayal is 'getting back on the right trail' now." I said. Jackson shrugged.
"What's one more sin on the list? Besides, betraying a corrupt scumbag like our boss isn't that bad. One of those lesser evils, you see."
"Really." Jackson smiled and took another drag on his cancer stick. We were silent for a few moments. We each flicked charred tobacco into the little glass ashtray on the coffee table. Jackson finally broke the silence.
"Sin's a funny word."
"What?" I said in a confused tone.
"Well . . . it's a small word made up of three of the most common letters in the English language, yet . . . it's one the most powerful words you can say. Every time I say the word 'sin', my throat feels . . . heavy. It's like the mere utterance of the word coats my vocal cords in slime." Jackson paused to take another drag on his cigarette. "I think it's because 'sin' is the very definition of evil, darkness in its purest form. I don't know, maybe there's no such thing as 'lesser evils.' Maybe sin is just sin, no matter how small. Have you ever wondered about that?"
I shrugged and scratched the bridge of my nose. Jackson waved a hand in my direction. He leaned back and exhaled a thick cloud of foul smoke
"You've never been much of a deep thinker. Have you, Will?" he said. Jackson snubbed out his cigarette in the little ashtray.
"Can I have another?" he asked. I pulled another cancer stick from the crumpled pack and handed it to him. He took my Zippo and lit the tobacco himself.
"So who ordered the hit, hmm? Was it that fat Capo Benice?" Jackson asked me. Since I was the one who killed him, I thought it was only fair to answer his questions.
"The Don came to me personally and gave me the job."
"Really?" Jackson said, faking enthusiasm. "Well . . . I feel kind of important now."
"What did you expect? You were going to turn states evidence against the family. It's only natural that the Don would get personally involved." I said. Jackson chuckled softly. He let his head fall back. His cold, glazed eyes gazing at the ceiling fan intently. He looked positively mesmerized.
After a few more moments of silence (and another cigarette for myself), Jackson looked down at his chest.
"Look what you did to my suit, Will." he said, sighing heavily. "This was my favorite." He put a hand to the blood that had poured from his throat like a waterfall. The dark red mess covered the front of his white shirt and gray jacket.
"The Don will buy a new one for your funeral." I said.
"Tell him not to. Have him get this one cleaned." I cringed as Jackson stuck a finger in the bullet-hole in his throat. He moved his finger around inside, like he was searching for something. I raised a hand.
"Stop!" I said. Jackson pulled his finger out of the hole.
"Sorry." he said. He looked at the bloodstain again. "Couldn't you have poisoned me? It would have been cleaner." I didn't answer his question.
"They'll do this to you, too." Jackson said. I raised my head and looked into his dead eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"You know good and well what I mean. You think you'll be a 'made man' forever. You are nothing to that old buzzard." I knew where he was going with this. I simply put out my cigarette and said,
"I think it's time you stopped talking, Jackson."
"Why?" he asked, clearly bemused.
"Because you're dead." I retorted. "The dead don't talk." Jackson wagged a finger at me.
"On the contrary. The dead are real chatterboxes. One only has to be willing to listen." I was becoming increasingly angry with the corpse in front of me. I could hear my leather gloves stretch as my fist clenched. Jackson continued to speak.
"You know you're only an asset to that slime-ball. Once you cease to be useful," He made the shape of a gun with his thumb and forefinger. "Bang! You're dead."
"Stop it." I said softly. My voice felt weak. My anger was beginning to boil.
"Do you have any idea how many people die everyday?" Jackson inquired.
"I said stop."
"Over one-hundred-fifty-thousand people die each day. It's like a harvest. Everyday, one-hundred-fifty-thousand souls are plucked from this earth. The ripe ones are taken by the farmer, and the rotten ones are cast down."
"You're dead!" I said louder than I meant to. "You don't talk!" Jackson returned a wan smile.
"Patience, Will. Let me finish."
"No!" I shouted. I jumped to my feet and drew my silenced Beretta nine-millimeter. "The dead don't talk!" Jackson held his mocking grin.
"You harvested me today. I'm beyond redemption, so I'll be cast down. But you . . ." He pointed a finger at me. "What will happen to you when you've harvested?"
"Shut up!" I fired two rounds into Jackson's chest, the silencer making whispers of the gunshots. Two round holes exploded in his chest, but little blood came out. The smile never left his face.
"You know I'm right, Will. If you keep working for the Don, you'll end up just like me." Jackson said. I fired round after round into his dead body. I unloaded several rounds into his heart, then shifted my aim up to his forehead.
"Stay dead! Stay dead!" I screamed desperately, over and over.
"When the harvest comes for you, you'll end up just like me." Jackson said calmly. My Beretta clicked empty.
"Stay dead . . ." My vocal cords strained to form the words. I dropped to my knees, tears streaming down my face. It was then that I realized the futility of my actions. My cries fell on deaf ears. I was shooting at a cold corpse.
It was my own evil, my own sin. The sin in my own tortured soul spoke to me through the lifeless body that was once my friend. He was right. Every word Jackson uttered was of the most absolute truth.
I looked at the Beretta in my hand. I saw it as an escape. A way to free myself from the horrible life I was trapped in. All I had to do was eject the clip, load a new one, put the barrel to my temple, and pull the trigger. I could use a single bullet to end my pain.
But, I didn't . . .
I simply stood up, wiped the tears from my face, and put the pistol away. I took one final look at the mutilated corpse of Jackson. He was in the exact same position as he was when he died. The only difference was that he had fourteen new bullet holes. He had never moved. He had never spoken.
The dead don't talk, after all.
I left quickly, not wanting to be anywhere near the corpse. I would be harvested soon enough, just like he said. And like him . . .
I am beyond redemption.

Once Upon a Tme
June 15, 2016 in by mwhiteside
Theatre of Voices
Paul Hillier, director
Tickets £15 (£5 for 7-18 year olds) | 70 mins, no interval
tickets at www.hubtickets.co.uk or at the door
Story telling is what this wonderful hour of music is all about. This event is suitable for all the family.
First, the comedy and high jinks: Cage kicks off the proceedings with his unique take on the words "Once upon a time…", before we segue into the whacky world of Cathy Berberian's Stripsody. Inspired by cartoon strips, this a fast-moving collage of mini-scenes including a stand-off between a cat and a dog, a girl impatiently waiting for her late boyfriend, a police drama, Tarzan in the trees… Great fun. Right after it comes a piece whose title you may not recognise, Gesprochene Musik, though it contains the famous Geographical Fugue. Then one that opens "Trinidad! And the big Mississippi…". To close, we have David Lang's beautiful and moving re-telling of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Match Girl. This piece has caught the imagination of audiences worldwide and has been performed over 300 times.
* * *
"The score, consisting of cartoons drawn by Roberto Zamarin, is a delight to the eye. It opens with Tarzan swinging on a vine bellowing his famous call and moves on through cartoons depicting chomping teeth, bicycle bells… The three women here give an all-out performance, as it needs to be. It's as funny as the score is."

A proposal to sharply reduce state and local transportation revenue will be heard this week.
Initiative 976, an Initiative to the Legislature, would:
If passed, the initiative would have a significant impact on our state's transportation system. Fiscal estimates show that it would cost state and local governments $700 million in the 2019-21 biennium and just under $800 million in the 2021-23 biennium. The loss of city transportation benefit district revenue would amount to more than $116 million per biennium.
The Legislature has a limited number of options with an Initiative to the Legislature. They can:
At this time, it appears unlikely that the Legislature will pass it into law or suggest an alternative.
AWC will oppose the proposal during the legislative session and will continue to keep you updated on I-976's potential impact to your communities and ways you can further engage on this issue.
Once the legislative session ends, I-976 will be a ballot measure subject to PDC restrictions.
The proposal will be heard on Tuesday, February 26 at 1:30 in both the Senate and House Transportation Committees.

The long overdue on-air promotion for the new season of "The Office" aired last night , and has the Office blogosphere up in arms at the beauty of the thing. Season Five premieres on September 25th at 9am with an hour long episode entitled "Weight Loss". It will be the first time we actually see summertime for the Dunder Mifflin-ites. The crew in Scranton embark on some crazy branch competition on who drops the most pounds. (Do I smell a "The Biggest Loser" tie in?). As per the promo, it appears Team Scott will be doing some yoga under the instruction of Ms. Flax. She also seems to be Michael's BFF as seen in a sympatico hip hop sign off "a-wicka-wicka-wicka". Oh, Holly. How I love you. You make Michael human. Please stay. Tell Jan to take her lab baby and move out of town.
Pam will be away at Pratt, and we'll see eight weeks of this in the first episode (in between what I presume are eight commercial breaks). There has been some controversy on whether or not an internship is involved here. Paul Leiberstein has used the word "internship" while describing Pam's time in New York which freaks out every fan to kingdom come. An internship isn't going to classes at Pratt, it's going out on the field and working for school credit. So, if there is an "internship", does that mean Pam stays in New York longer than originally planned? I will be one pissed off bunny if that's the case.
But no matter. The promo flashed our couple embracing. Jim lunges in, Pam gets swept off her feet. A talking head shot seems to deliberately show Pam's hands so we fans get the cryptic signal that there is no ring, and therefore the engagement we are hitching our hopes on has not yet happened. But seeing Pam in her dorm room, in Jim's embrace, as his photo rests lovingly on the desk that holds her art supplies, and doofus glasses and printer and notes from Halpert filled with encouragement, it is heart warming. But New York is going to open her mind up to so many things. Why would should go back to Dunder Mifflin as a receptionist? We have two weeks to ponder this. Two weeks!

We don't think you will. In fact, we think you'll thank us for smoking.
You'll thank Marc for smoking, anyway. Since he got his big opportunity to smoke as much as he wanted at our house, he's become quite the heavy smoker. Lately, he just can't seem to quit smoking. Yeah, go figure, it's a new year and everyone else is making resolutions to quit smoking — and this guy resolves to smoke more. In the past week, especially, Marc has been smoking like crazy.
Meat, that is. (What, you thought we were talking about smoking something else?)
He's been smoking beef brisket (and if you've ever had our brisket, you'll be delighted to hear that), he's been smoking ribs, he's been smoking pork chops, he's been smoking sausage and he's been smoking turkey. Now, you can benefit from all his smoking, in the form of this wonderful Choucroûte: an Alsatian smoked meat platter.
Meat platters like this are the quintessential bistro dish in the Alsace-Lorraine region of France, so influenced in the kitchen by Germany: great quantities of smoked meat, roasted to a turn, served with boiled potatoes, sauerkraut and flavorful mustards. This is our version. You get a plateful of smoked ribs, sausage, turkey and a pork chop. On the side, boiled baby potatoes and plenty of sauerkraut, made with Ruth's special recipe that combines a touch of sugar and bacon to render the shredded cabbage sweet-tart-savory, not sour. The whole thing comes accompanied by two mustards — a hearty grainy mustard and a mellow honey mustard — and we suggest you ask for some bread as well, because you're going to want some to soak up the sauce and juices. Order up a beer with this, and — ach du Lieber! — you can't get a more heartwarming or satisfying winter's meal. It's on our specials menu this week; you need to get in here and taste it!
If for some reason that doesn't ring your bell, though, we still have plenty of other delights with which to tempt you. Such as veal osso bucco; roasted half duck with cherry port sauce; long bone double cut pork chops wrapped in bacon and stuffed with prosciutto, Gruyère and apple with port and dried plum ginger sauce; slow braised lamb shank with rosemary-mint demiglace; a spicy jambalaya; four-cheese mac and cheese with smoked chicken and black truffle; Portuguese fisherman's stew; mahi mahi with raspberry-chipotle glaze…
Come on by and fill your stomach and your soul with a lovingly prepared dish this week. Because at Bistro 185, we smoke 'em if we got 'em.

ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - Dougherty County District Attorney Greg Edwards said Tuesday that his office will be adding a felony murder charge to Gregory Parker in the death of Janiyah Brooks.
His office is still reviewing details to see if they are going to charge Crystal Brooks, Janiyah's mother, with more counts, but for now, her charges remain the same in the death of the child.
Parker, 20, and Janiyah's stepfather, was charged with aggravated child molestation, rape, aggravated sodomy, aggravated battery, battery and first degree cruelty to children.
Brooks, 19, was also arrested and charged with aggravated battery, battery, first degree cruelty to children and giving a false statement.
The victim died after she taken off a ventilator at an Atlanta hospital on May 17.

Why this is an issue:
- Disadvantaged pupils in Ipswich are less likely to be in a sustained positive destination following secondary schools (key stage 4) or their post-16 education (key stage 5) than nationally. They are also less likely to go to university.
- Young people in Ipswich are more likely not to be in employment, education or training (NEET) between the ages of 16 and 18 than nationally.
Our targets for 2021:
- 95% of disadvantaged young people will be in a sustained positive destination for at least the first 2 terms after finishing Key Stage 4
- 90% of disadvantaged young people will be in a sustained positive destination for at least the first 2 terms after finishing Key Stage 5
- 44% of disadvantaged young people will go on to higher education
- The percentage of 16 to 18-year-olds who are NEET will halve.
- All schools will achieve at least 6 of the 8 Gatsby benchmarks.
What we are doing:
- Partnering with the Careers & Enterprise Company (CEC) to provide young people with over 43,000 opportunities to experience the world of work (4 experiences per young person) over the life of the Opportunity Area programme.
- Working with the Network for East Anglian Collaborative Outreach (NEACO) to support more young people to apply to higher education or higher level apprenticeships.
- Trialing new approaches to encourage and support more young people to complete the National Citizen Service (NCS), so that more young people develop the broader skill set they need to complement their academic qualifications.
- Raising the quality and availability of personal guidance to enable young people to map their individual career pathway now and in the future by a shared resource network of qualified career leaders and careers advisors.
- Creating new opportunities for young people to develop skills such as self-confidence, personal and learning skills, resilience and mental health through art and sports by supporting Suffolk County Council to implement a programme funded by the Essential Life Skills fund
- Delivering a series of 'world of work' events for primary school pupils to inspire them about the wealth of career opportunities available.
- We have launched a dedicated support programmes for young people who are at risk of becoming NEET to help them maintain a positive pathway.
