Once again we are seeing violence at our churches. Even on this special day we must be vigilant.See the story below.
ASHTABULA, Ohio – Police in northeast Ohio are investigating a shooting outside a church that has reportedly left one man dead after an Easter service.
One is reported to be dead.
A member of the Hiawatha Church said the man was shot soon after Easter services ended, at about 1:15 p.m. Sunday. It is said the man knew the shooter, and that a suspect was taken into custody.
The church's pastor said congregants were leaving the church when they heard a gunshot.
"People pushed me into a back office and said, `Somebody's here with a gun,"' said the Rev. David Howard Jr. "The guy was outside hollering and acting crazy."
There were no immediate reports of any other injuries.
He said the church has about 175 members. He said people at the church didn't know what led up to the shooting.

There are some people who can just buy outright a year's worth of freeze-dried or dehydrated food and be done with it.
Probably, like you, I'm not one of those people. I can afford to buy a little here and a little there.
So how can you accumulate food storage when your budget is tight or you're just starting out?
I'll list 10 of my favorites and then I would love to hear your suggestions at the end of this article.
These are just 10 ways you can save money or acquire food storage. Can you think of others? We would all love to hear your suggestions.
Instead of toilet paper
by: Gail
I started stocking toilet paper but it takes up so much room. Instead I started buying packs of moistened sheets that come packaged (usually around 100 to 200 per package.) It takes up so much less room and will actually be handier in the long run since it will clean as well as, well, wipe!
(Admin - Just a note: Wipes are handy and great to have but, even though the package says they are flushable, they are not biodegradable, and are clogging our sewer systems nationwide.)
Penny Pinching
by: Anonymous
Don't forget to shop around. I get my rice at Sam's Club $19 for 50 lbs but my spaghetti at Walmart @ 82 cents a pound. My salt from Gordon's foods @$5.46 for 25 lbs. Once you know where the best prices are you can just make a annual or semi-annual trip for supplies so there are not a lot of wasted trips.
I'd love to hear what you have to say in the comments.

Elephant at The Ark
We saw our first wild elephants at the Ark, which had the best location (right on a salt lick and water hole that attracted elephants, buffalo, giant forest hogs, waterbuck, and, reportedly, 2 leopards) and the smallest hotel rooms. We literally had to transfer stuff to an overnight bag and leave our regular luggage at another hotel because the rooms were just big enough for the beds and a tiny night stand.
But with views like this, who cares what the room was like? This picture was taken from the "Bunker", which was on the ground floor and had thick stone walls with small rectangular windows. We were 10 yards away from this elephant and yet still safe (and out of his way). It was inspiring.

Is It Okay To Wear White Jeans After Labor Day?
Is It Okay To Wear White Jeans After Labor Day?
With Labor Day fast approaching, I thought this would be a good time to republish this popular post! Yes, it is TOTALLY OKAY to wear white jeans/pants/shoes after Labor Day. However, there is knack to doing it right.
The key is to be sure it looks intentional — not like you forgot to put your summer clothes away. Here's my take on this fun, modern trend… updated for 2019!
The "no white after Labor Day" rule is no more, and today we can feel free to rock the white well into the cooler months. Personally I love this trend. Wearing white jeans after Labor Day is a great way to look modern and hip without having to buy anything new.
Of course, there are a few tips and tricks to wearing white appropriately after Labor Day. You just have to style them with cold weather shoes and heavier, warmer fabrics and colors. Here's how.
I will provide links to the original source for these photos if I can find them, but I found many on Pinterest, and most don't point to the original source. If you see one that's yours, let me know! I will happily link back.
How To Wear White Jeans After Labor Day
#1. Pair white jeans with warm neutrals like tan and cognac. Note how the boots and scarf make it a fall outfit.
LV Neverfull // brown boots // white jeans // leopard scarves // beige sweater
white jeans // sweater // brown booties // scarf
camel cashmere sweater // white jeans // plaid scarves // similar OTK boots
#2. I also love white jeans paired with gray. For summer, a gray tee and white jeans is a great, easy look. For fall, pair your white jeans with a chunky gray sweater. Again, the scarf and jeans make it undeniably a fall outfit.
infinity scarves // white cords // brown riding boots // grey pullovers
white cords // grey ankle boots // grey pullovers
grey pullovers // white jeans // satchel // booties
#3. You can even do white on white if the sweater is somewhat heavy and you wear booties or boots on the bottom. I love how she uses the brown belt to separate the white top from the white jeans.
white jeans // brown booties // ivory sweaters // brown belts // neutral totes
#4. Break out your military jacket and wear it with white jeans over a neutral tee or sweater. Pair it with booties or boots.
white jeans // brown riding boots // striped sweaters // olive jackets
white jeans // brown booties // pink sweaters // olive jackets // brown totes
#5. White jeans with a chambray shirt always work. To make it look more wintry, wear boots and consider a scarf.
white jeans // brown riding boots // chambray shirt // leopard scarf
#6. For a bold winter look, pair your white jeans with a heavy sweater in bright jewel tones. For bonus points, add a wool scarf. Definitely wear knee-high boots with this look. Or UGGs.
white jeans // brown riding boots // striped sweaters // plaid scarves
#7. On a rainy day, pair your white jeans with your wellies. I ADORE this look. In fact, I cannot wait for the next rainy day. I AM SO doing this.
black Hunter boots // white jeans // pink coats
Also, pastels work just as well.
lavender sweaters // white jeans // taupe booties
There's no need to pack those white jeans away with your summer frocks. You can totally rock those white jeans into fall and even winter!

text: monkeypower 2,628 Posted March 13 Apologies if this part has already been posted, the CHL has suspended play for all three leagues, with about two weeks left in all three's regular seasons, but they have not cancelled the Memorial Cup as of yet. That is scheduled to take place May 22-31 in Kelowna, BC. However, the CJHL (Junior A) officially cancelled the rest of their season today. All 10 of their leagues were in the first or second round of league playoffs at cancellation. Obviously, this means the cancellation of the league playoffs, but also the series' between league winners and the eventual junior A championship tournament. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The movie produced by the Sathya Jyothi Films is set to release on January 10, ahead of the Pongal festival season.
The Madras High Court on Tuesday restrained 38 internet service providers (ISPs) from uploading or providing online access to Ajith-starrer Tamil film "Viswasam", set to hit the screens on Thursday, on a plea from the producer to pre-empt possible piracy.
Justice S Sundar granted the injunction against BSNL and 37 other ISPs on a civil suit filed by the film's producer, who apprehended that the defendant websites had the potential to upload or enable third parties to copy, reproduce and distribute the film through cable or online medium through the ISPs.
The movie produced by the Sathya Jyothi Films is set to release on January 10, ahead of the Pongal festival season.
The counsel for the plaintiff submitted that whenever a film was released in theatres, acts of piracy would also commence and the websites would mobilise to illegally copy, record, download, reproduce, transmit and communicate the copyright-protected work to the general public.
The defendant web portals had not entered into any license agreement with the plaintiff firm for communicating the movie and thus, it would amount to infringement of its copyright under the Copyright Act, the counsel said.

Hehe e don happen! Just when we thought the ex-lovers have let bygone be bygone, it seems we are far from the truth. Timaya this week granted an interview where he disclosed for the first time why he took back the car he gave the actress when they were dating. Now, the news went viral, and we thought Empress won't utter a word at least, but we were wrong!
Empress thinks Timaya is fake and she just gave her response.

Why use Hypnotherapy as a healing therapy?
Hypnotherapy has been used as a natural healing technique for centuries. The actual experience of hypnosis is difficult to describe, neither asleep nor awake, but similar to that period of daydreaming before you go off to sleep. Therefore, hypnotherapy is characterised by a feeling of deep relaxation, during which acceptable suggestions may enter the subconscious to elicit a positive change in old habits and beliefs.
Recent research has shown that hypnotherapy can be a valuable therapeutic tool to aid the treatment of many medical conditions. Hypnosis can also be used successfully as an aid for the resolution of many problems of psychological origins.
Amanda Gwynne Consultancy offers a combination of hypnotherapy and Emotional Freedom Technique during sessions to offer a holistic approach for clients suffering with many problems including:
- Asthma
- Childbirth
- Fear & anxiety
- Habits eg. nail biting
- Insomnia
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Performance/public speaking
- Phobias/PTSD
- Stress management
- Smoking
- Tension headaches and migraine
- Weight control
- Gastric Band Therapy
What is involved with my therapy sessions?
Amanda Gwynne Consultancy offers a full confidential consultation, and discussion about your treatment plan. Some issues may be resolved after one session, but others will require a course of treatments.
During your hypnotherapy session, you will feel deeply relaxed physically, but remain alert mentally and able to communicate with me either by signals or speech. Prior to the end of your session, you will be taught self-hypnosis and relaxation techniques which will enable you to continue your own sessions at home.
Payment is made either at the beginning or end of each session, and a further appointment made if required.
- Is hypnosis sleep? - Hypnosis is not sleep, however it is a deep form of relaxation.
- Is hypnosis safe? - Hypnosis is completely safe. It is similar meditation/visualisation. You are aware and in control all the time during your session.
- Can anyone be hypnotised? - Anyone can be hypnotised as long as they are happy to do so. In fact we all drift in and out of natural hypnosis every day.
- Will I get stuck in hypnosis? - You will not get stuck in a hypnotic trance and will either awaken when your therapist suggests or if at home will naturally emerge from hypnosis whenever you are ready to do so.
The Rewind Technique
Amanda Gwynne Consultancy is available to treat your PTSD or phobia comfortably and quickly. The Rewind Technique is a tried-and-tested approach to treating PTSD and phobias For many years, severe anxiety-based conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder or phobias were considered treatable only through long, painful exposure therapy, and in some cases, not at all. Now, thankfully, we have access to a comfortable, effective treatment that can greatly reduce, and even remove, traumatic or phobic symptoms quickly.
The Rewind Technique does not need you to go over the traumatic incident(s) again. Many people with trauma or phobias have been treated using approaches which drag them back through the experience again; a highly unpleasant thing to have to do. This does not happen with the Rewind, and I do not in fact even need to know the details of what happened to you. So if you suffer from PTSD or phobias I think I can help, so please give me a call on 07818 415516 and I can tell you anything else you need to know. to find out some more information about the Rewind Technique, follow the link to this article: http://www.unk.com/blog/no-need-to-relive-the-trauma/
Research results for the Rewind Technique
Research results for the Rewind Technique Although research into the Rewind Technique is still in its infancy, one study [http://www.hgi.org.uk/archive/rewindevidence2.htm] carried out by the Human Givens Institute in the UK showed the following results: Study size: 30 people ? 40% of clients rated rewind as extremely successful; ? 53% rated it as successful ? 7% rated it as acceptable. No one rated the Rewind Technique poor or as a failure. ? Prior to rewind, on average clients rated their well being as 12 out of 50. ? Seven to 10 days after treatment, the average score was 30.3 out of 50. ? Three to six months later, the average score was 32.2. This represents an improvement of 167.4 per cent on their original ratings. A four-year study carried out within NOVA [http://www.try-nova.org/] (part of the Barnardoís charity) showed similarly impressive results: Study size: 47 people, 57% of whom treated with Rewind alone. ? 26 would have met the criteria for PTSD. ? After treatment none of the forty-seven people treated met the criteria for PTSD. ? There was also a significant reduction of all sub symptoms associated with PTSD, five categories had zero reports after treatment. (Human Given journal Volume 14, No 4- 2007)
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
Based on the ancient principals of acupressure, EFT is a simple tapping procedure that gently re-aligns the body's energy system. EFT incorporates an emotional element to the healing process, addressing unresolved emotional issues, which may be a factor in physical disease and psychological imbalances. Amanda Gwynne Consultancy includes this technique for clients attending for hypnotherapy sessions.

Ricky (Germany) server slow
I have a fairly fast internet connection (200mbps/25mb/s) and when downloading using the server in Germany (the closest one to me) i mostly never exceed 500kb/s (average 300kb/s), the other servers do work but some downloads only offer the Germany server so they take an eternity to download. I can understand if nothing can be done but it would be nice to have a bit faster speeds on the mentioned server. Been loving the site otherwise, keep up the amazing work of making these old operating systems, etc available to people easily.

All around me dear friends are dwelling in seasons of waiting. We are all waiting for different things but the familiar ache is the same. The hard thing with waiting is that you find yourself out of your control, finding that you just have to be. So how do we wait well? We long to fill a tiny bed down the hall with a orphan, we are waiting for the next step to take or we are longing to fill a halfway empty bed, yearning for what we don't have.
This past month I have experienced a longing fulfilled for 9 months. Our home ached for our Little One, the days dragged on and the quiet of night brought tears. Today that ache is fulfilled, we have the joy of doing life once more with her. We are getting to know each other again, some things are new, exciting and different. While other quirks are soul satisfying, good like a favorite pair of jeans.
The day I stepped into that foster care informational meeting I had no idea the trajectory I would find myself on. You see way back at the beginning I was not supposed to be in the classes I ended up in, the ones that got me done and licensed by May. In June, my crew was uprooted yet again and we met in a beautiful collision. Today we are gearing up to celebrate one year together.
We waited for our hearing the one that said we could step into life together, forever. We longed for that story. We fought for that conclusion. Yet in the midst of waiting we found peace. We found peace in the goodbyes, the visits and red tape, we learned to utter, "even so, it is well with my soul."
The season of waiting prepares us for the long awaited arrival. As the child in the back asks are we there yet, we long to find what we have been seeking. I suppose the longer we wait the more in theory we appreciate what was received. I long for the wait to be over, I long for the beds to be full and names to change. I long for the answers, the map and the dates to all be squared away. Always joking if only I could get a fortune cookie with answers, all would be fine.
What would we lose if we shut down the longing and ache? I wonder what would be the trade off for silencing that portion of our heart. Longing and aching reminds me I am alive, that I am doing something that matters and that I am loving well. The risk to find ourselves in a season of waiting is great, the ache is real. Yet without that where would we find our courage to keep moving? Would we find peace and choose to dwell in the mundane?
Ache and long well my friend, may we always find that thing that keeps us going. May we see beyond the ashes to the hope of things to come, to the beauty. As the forest flourishes after the fire, we find that the green sprigs of life provide for us the hope that it is not over. In fact it is only just beginning, hope is rising.
I would not of picked the long, hard path if given the choice. The choice to say goodbye twice to Little One, the long road and ache of adoption would not be what I would want. Yet now a little further down the road I see the purpose in it, saying goodbye twice makes hello so lovely. The celebrations are bigger and the joy is great!
I suppose if I knew what all would have been on this road it is quite possible I would have gone another route. Yet then who would I be? I am thankful I didn't know for our story is beautiful messy and as I watch it unfold I am in awe.

Our homes are our pride and joy. We take great care in making sure that the grass is cut, leaves are raked and the edges are manicured. However, there are times when we are just starting out putting our lawns together, either because it is a new house or the start of the spring season. Either way, lawn installation grafton oh and gardening are great ways to beautify your yard.
Mowing the lawn
Our lawns are all different and require different times and levels of care. With grass that grows quickly mowing and edging may take longer or need to be done more frequently than a yard that doesn't get a lot of water. When mowing our lawns you want to do it at least twice a month. This will help keep the yard at a reasonable length.
When dealing with our lawns weeds will pop up all over the place. Many people have a lot of different ways to handle weeds. One of the best ways is to pull them by the root. Spraying them with chemicals is okay, but trying not to introduce more chemicals into our environment is always a good idea. Pulling weeds is best but make sure that you get them by the roots.
Fertilize your lawns at the start of the season as well. Over time our lawns lose their nutrients and as such will being to grow in patches. Sprinkling a combination of fertilizer, grass seed and weed killer will help to maintain a healthy balance in our lawns.
Don't over mow
Doing anything to excess can be bad. Over mowing, fertilizing, watering or even sun can cause damage to your yard. When taking care of your yard it is important to start slow, look at the process and adjust. Our lawns are our pride and joy. Let's make them the best they can be.

A More 'Current Affair'?
In this week's cover story, "Inside the Fluff Factory," Deborah Starr Seibel expertly pulls back the veil on the cutthroat syndicated-magazine world. Hundreds of millions at stake, celebrities gone wild, back-stabbing competition—it's all there.
Seibel closes her tale with this tantalizing news: There's talk of bringing back that classic 1980s tube confection, A Current Affair. The show was created in '86 by one of Rupert Murdoch's lieutenants, fellow Australian Peter Brennan, who fueled it with the sort of sass, humor, blood, guts and energy that propels the best tabloid newspapers. Hosted with a trademark nod-and-wink ease by anchor Maury Povich, Affair quickly hit it big. Soon, there were imitators, including one Brennan would eventually run: Hard Copy.
By 1996, with Povich long gone to do his Oprah-meets-Springer talk show and Brennan departed, too (he'd later launch Judge Judy), Affair had run out of gas. But so much of what it pioneered—the lurid, noir-ish coverage of murder tales from the heartland, the tongue-in-cheek celebrity reports and the dramatic re-creations—became standard operating procedure across the tube landscape, from Dateline to 48 Hours Mysteries.
"When we first started, Affair was about the only place covering stories like the Laci Peterson murder," says Brennan. "Now everybody from the network newsmagazines to the cable news channels can't get enough of it."
Inside the Murdoch empire, word is the drive to re-launch the franchise is coming from Rupert himself and is strongly seconded by son Lachlan, who is running the Fox station group—an ideal launch pad for a post-millennium A Current Affair. If that power duo wants it to happen, odds are good that, when studio, station and network brass are wheeling and dealing next January at the NATPE confab in Las Vegas, 20th Century's distribution arm will be pushing a new Affair.
Brennan says, if the show's a go, he's likely to saddle up again to run it. It may be a bumpy ride. The fact that Affair's punk-news sensibility is now commonplace could be a mixed blessing: Yes, the show that once spooked advertisers will be an easier sell, but it might also mean that Affair would find it hard to stand out.
A Brennan acolyte once told me that part of the secret alchemy of Affair's success was that you could report anything "no matter how sleazy if, in telling the story, you were sure to say how just how shocked you were by the tale you were telling."
Burt Kearns, who worked with Brennan on Affair and chronicled their various misadventures in his 1999 book Tabloid Baby, says there was something more going on. "When we were at our height, we were really a red-state show," he says. "We told our stories from the viewer's perspective. We were their surrogates. We didn't do all this 'oohh, aahh' celebrity stuff that everybody out there does these days. If Brennan brings it back, he won't be looking at four monitors and saying, 'Dateline did that, or ET did, so we better get on it.' You do stories nobody else will go near."
If Affair becomes current again, a charismatic anchor à la Povich would be essential. "I think Maury is all tied up and making too much money with his show," says Brennan. "But if we go ahead, I'd give him a call to see if he's interested."

Before people can perform the religious practices such as fasting and abstinence as part of the Lenten Season, they still need to pass through Shrove Tuesday. Primarily, this event is held a day before Ash Wednesday. Many countries practice this event including United Kingdom, New Zealand and Ireland. Furthermore, this special day is also celebrated in other nations like Canada and Australia. It is easier to understand why people eat pancakes on Shrove Tuesday by looking at the basic nature of this event.
The Reason for Eating Pancakes on This Special Day
Why do we eat pancakes on Shrove Tuesday? In countries such as England and other locations, Shrove Tuesday is also called Pancake Day because it has been a tradition to eat rich foods like pancakes on this particular day. Before they engage in Lenten practices, they prepare themselves by conducting such festivities. On this special day, they serve food that contains sugar, eggs and butter, all of which are ingredients discouraged during a time of fasting such as Lent.
Known as Pancake Tuesday or Pancake Day, countries like the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom serve pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. This event is an annual tradition when people serve delicious pancakes that are thicker and bigger than French crepes. These delightful treats are served with caster sugar or granulated sugar. In the U.S., they are also served with lemon juice, while people in Canada serve them with preserves or maple syrup.
Additional Information and Other Relevant Details
This special day is not just about eating and feasting. In fact, many people use this event to raise money for social work, such as the case of Uniting Church in Australia. In the United Kingdom, the government tries to raise money for social works as well as social awareness by holding the Rehab UK Parliamentary Pancake Race. Another group that makes use of this special day very well is the Westminster School in England, which holds a special event called Pancake Greaze.
The date for this special event varies somewhere in between the 3rd day of February and the 9th day of March, depending on the liturgical cycle for the Lenten season. People celebrate this day differently depending on what location they belong. For instance, people serve doughnuts and pancakes during this special day of celebration in Lithuania. Meanwhile, the people of Hawaii have Malasada Day, wherein they serve huge volumes of doughnuts. In Iceland, people serve peas and salt meat for their so-called Sprengidagur, or simply 'Bursting Day.'

The carrier insurance policies
O2 charge €12.99 for their iPhone insurance which works out about €155 euro per year. If you lose your iPhone or it is stolen, O2 claim to provide a replacement within one working day of a successful claim. If your iPhone has been damaged O2 will arrange to have it repaired and provide a mobile phone whilst you are awaiting the completion of the repair. They will also cover you for any unauthorised calls that are made on your iPhone after it has been reported lost or stolen up to a value of €1500. With this insurance, it is important to point out that for any claim you will still have to fork out a €65 excess charge before any repair or replacement is covered.
Vodafone charge €9.99 per month for their Stay Mobile Plus insurance which comes to around €120 per year. Again, they will either repair or replace your iPhone. There is a €35 excess charge in both cases. They also cover you for unauthorised calls made on your device up to a value of €1000.
So they are two of the insurance plans offered by carriers that sell the iPhone. Many customers will opt for these insurance options due to the convenience of bundling it in with their iPhone contract, but is it worth looking at alternative ways of insuring your iPhone? There are a number of third party companies offering methods of insuring your iPhone. We will briefly look at two of these: gadgetinsurance.ie and protectyourbubble.com.
Gadgetinsurance.ie are currently offering a year long insurance product for €79. Already this is significantly cheaper than both O2 and Vodafones offerings. For this price however, you are not just covering your iPhone, you can cover up to 5 gadgets up to a value of €500. So you could also cover your digital camera or laptop for example under this one policy. For this you are covered against theft, accidental damage and malicious damage worldwide. The excess payable on claims is a much more reasonable €25.
So the costs involved in this insurance product are much more reasonable but It is important to look at what you are not covered for. You are not covered for any unauthorised calls made on your device after it has been stolen. You are not covered for any manufacturing defects that are not covered by your manufacturers warranty, so if your iPhone just decides to stop working you're not covered. You are also not covered for water ingress of any kind. Unlike with O2 and Vodafones cover, one major omission from gadgetinsurance.ie cover is that you are not covered for loss of your iPhone for any reason other than theft.
You may have seen ads for this UK based company Protectyourbubble.com on TV or billboards or even on the back of a bus as they have been advertising quite heavily. Insuring your iPhone with these will cost you £5.99 or approximately €6.99 per month which works out at about €84 per year. For this you are covered against theft, accidental damage, liquid damage and unauthorised calls. One extra item you are covered for is breakdown. So if your iPhone develops an electrical or mechanical fault outside of its manufacturers warranty period, the repair costs will be covered. This is something you don't get with Gadgetinsurance.ie's policy. For an extra £1 or approximately €1.17 per month you can be covered against loss of your device. They also claim to replace your phone within 48 hours of a claim or if it can be repaired, they will do so within 5 working days. The excess charge on claims is £50 or approximately €58. If you are claiming for loss of your device you will have to pay a further £25 on top of the £50 excess. With Protectyourbubble.com you get a 10% discount on any other gadgets you wish to add to your policy. So for example, if you wanted to insure your iPhone and your iPad it would cost £9.78 per month or approximately €11 per month.
Comparison Table
We have put together a quick comparison table to allow you to compare insurance offerings. Obviously, we recommend you read throught the full terms and conditions before purchasing any of the insurance products.

Quincy Adams is one of John Ford's operatives. Her first appearance was in an ambush in Azalea Town, where she captured Team Rocket agent Ethan Worth and forced him to help her seal the Unown back into the Ruins of Alph.
Early LifeEdit
Quincy's background is almost completely unknown. Originally named Tiana Soldati, she lived in a currently unnamed town in Unova, up until she left with her Elgyem on a Pokémon journey. She based her team around fairy tales, as having grown up with them, she considered them an essential part of her character.
At an unknown point in time, she was picked up for training by John Ford, along with James Pierce and Maddison Hayes. She has loyally worked for him ever since.
The Third Child Edit
Dimensional Training Edit
A notable part of Quincy's training with Ford involved sessions between herself, Wizard, and Nine. During these training sessions, Nine taught Wizard how to manipulate the fabric of reality in much the same way that he and the other Ancient Darkrai could.
Unlike the Ancients, Nine focused on showing Quincy and Wizard how to bend reality instead of tearing it, allowing them to utilize these abilities without the debilitating effects of dimensional tears--as well as minimizing the amount of extra damage that they could cause to the dimensional fabric.
Sealing the Unown Edit
After the release of the Unown into the skies of the Johto region by Team Rocket, Quincy was tasked with resealing the Unown into their own dimension. After setting up a trap in Azalea Town, whose inhabitants had all been trapped and killed by the Unown, Quincy waited. For several weeks she routinely captured a small number of Team Rocket agents, needing one for her plan to reseal the Unown to work. She was forced to dispatch each one as they refused to cooperate with her.
After a couple of months, Rocket Agent Ethan Worth visited the town in search of the Gym Leader Bugsy. Following him into the destroyed Gym, Quincy managed to knock Ethan unconscious, using her Abomasnow to drag him into a small warehouse. When he awoke, Quincy explained what had happened to Azalea Town and that she needed a Rocket member to help her in sealing the Unown again, as they were causing damage to the region's -- and by extension, the world's -- spacial fabric. After offering either death or freedom to him, Ethan agreed to help, both out of anger at the Unown and to ensure his survival.
The two traveled to the Ruins of Alph, where the Unown had created a five-story palace out of a crystal-like substance. After warning Ethan to ignore the reflections and shadows in the walls, the pair entered, steadily working their way up to the fifth floor. Upon entering the final floor, Ethan was pulled into the crystal by the Unown, where he was faced with a shadowy phantom of his deceased mother, as well as the spirits of the other inhabitants of his hometown. As he was about to be killed, Quincy's Beeheeyem, Wizard, broke through the wall using psychic force and pulled him free. Sparing a moment to scold the Rocket agent, the two sent out the combined forces of their teams, engaging in an all-out brawl against the Unown hordes.
As their Pokémon fought, Quincy and Ethan located the central portal of the Unown. Quincy ordered Ethan and her Pokémon to hold off the Psychic-Types while Wizard charged a Synchronoise attack. After several minutes, she ordered the attack to be unleashed. The resulting force of psychic energy was enough to knock out the majority of the Unown and stun the rest of the group, allowing Ethan to move forward and close the portal. Shortly afterwards, the floor began to crack; as they fell through and the palace collapsed into nothingness, Wizard used his psychic powers as a cushion for the group.
While Ethan was knocked unconscious by the sheer force of the fall, Quincy remained standing. Taking a moment to place a Poké Ball containing a Deerling, a pair of sunglasses and a note next to the unconscious Rocket member as payment for his help, Quincy promised that they would meet again in the future--in a fair fight--before departing and reporting the mission's success to Ford.
Testing The Second Mewtwo Edit
Sometime later, Quincy was tasked with another mission by Ford. As part of the newly formed Hojohsin League's plan to defeat Team Liberty and Team Rocket, Ford had used a bounty hunting company in the region of Unova to create another Mewtwo. After some initial difficulties in controlling it, the organization finally managed to locate and "recruit" it using a psychic agent named Dara Trina, otherwise known as "The Phantom."
After sending Quincy back to Azalea Town to wait for their arrival, Ford requested that Kevin Sparks, the leader of the organization, send Mewtwo to Azalea Town so as to be tested before officially handing the Legendary over. Arriving there with Dara, the two quickly met up with Adams in the second floor of the Pokémon Center. After introducing herself, Quincy informed the pair that the battle would consist of Mewtwo fighting against three of her Pokémon. Complaints against this were met with the note that the battle was to test Mewtwo, not the Phantom; a moment later, Quincy sent out Voodoo, her Banette, and the battle began.
While initially holding her own against Mewtwo, as Quincy expected, the battle turned ugly when the Legendary began utilizing its abilities to rip holes in the fabric of space. Quincy responded by recalling Voodoo and sending out Wizard, who, after intense training over the years with Nine, had also learned to manipulate the fabric of space. While managing to match the Mewtwo in power, the Legendary eventually defeated it using a combination of steel from the Pokémon Center and a portal, causing a large amount of damage to the Beeheeyem and forcing Quincy to recall him, before sending out Witch, her Mismagius. Quincy also issued a warning to the Phantom and Mewtwo about the damage they were causing by ripping open so many portals in such a small space.
Using the Mewtwo's fatigue to her advantage, Quincy ordered Witch to use Perish Song, disguised as a Screech, against Mewtwo. After realizing what had happened, Mewtwo ripped open yet another portal, this one into the Distortion World, as an attempt to drag the fight inside and nullify or temporarily disrupt the effects of the song. Despite Adams's protests, the battle continued, as well as similar spacial tearing. Eventually, Nine arrived, having sensed the careless spacial distortions, and in anger attacked Mewtwo, defeating the Psychic-Type within moments. Before departing, he reprimanded Trina and Quincy for their behavior. Quincy then paid Trina, taking Mewtwo and returning to base.
Quincy was appointed as the new Mewtwo's primary caretaker, training with him and helping him learn the ways of the world, as well as instructing him in his purpose within Ford's plans. At some point, she began to refer to him as "Mewthree", in order to give him his own identity.
Dimension Trip Edit
Quincy and Mewthree were assigned to test an experimental dimensional device, as well as look into an unknown spacial disturbance within a side-dimension. In order to do this, massive amounts of power were required, and thus Quincy was forced to organize the hijacking of one of the Kanto-Johto Magnet Trains--much to her delight.
With the help of a group of Déoza Agents, Quincy was able to board and take over the Pleasant Meadows Express, a train linking Saffron City and Goldenrod City. Unbeknownst to her, a group of Team Rocket Agents consisting of Ethan Worth, Gavin Braner, Lucia Zyther, and Jamie Arthur were on board the train, along with assassins Lafoyae Belrose and Jackson Sang, the latter of whom had been specifically hired to investigate her. The group quickly came into conflict with Quincy's forces, to the point of beating a pair of guards stationed in a train car toward the back of the train.
Their resulting self-destruct explosions alerted Quincy to trouble, and so she activated Déoza's transportation. In order to buy time for it to charge, she personally left to hold off any intruders, and thus entered a battle with Lafoyae and Jackson, which quickly turned in their favor. Just as Jackson moved to finish her off, the device finished, and the train was sent spiraling into another dimension filled entirely with trees surrounding a singular mountain.
Quincy managed to avoid any major injuries, and so she and her troops left, headed toward the mountain. They soon came into contact with a mysterious figure wearing a mask made of ice. After conversing with him, the man suddenly ordered strange creatures to attack the Déoza forces. They were quickly defeated, with many of them being killed, and the creatures threatened to completely overpower the Déoza forces. Quincy ordered a retreat, prompting Mewthree to open a portal back to the main dimension. Despite her insistence that he come with her, Mewthree instead chose to remain behind and hold the creatures off so that Quincy could escape. He threw her into the portal before closing it, seemingly leaving him to die.
Shaken, Quincy returned to Ford, where she attended one final meeting before the fall of the Ancient Darkrai. Mewthree returned as well, much to her surprise, and reported much of what had occurred there. At the meeting, she was reassured that Ford was not disappointed in her, and in fact he was willing to trust her enough with another important task: Taking out Joker's Power Amplification Machine, and possibly Joker herself, which Quincy accepted.
Deconstruction Machinations Edit
Leviathan Edit
Following Ford's disappearance, Quincy spent a substantial amount of time observing Joker and Abyss, analyzing the facility and the Shadow Admin's actions in order to find an effective means of assassinating her. Amidst these investigations, Quincy discovered the power amplification machine that Joker was constructing within the Lake of Rage, and decided to make use of it against her once it was completed.
Six months after the Ancient Darkrais' defeat, Quincy was alerted of an incident that had occurred in Sinnoh, in which a mysterious entity had destroyed Team Galactic. At this point, she had actively infiltrated Abyss, slowly worming her way closer to Joker. Soon after, a similar entity appeared in Goldenrod City. The destruction caused by the being elicited a large-scale response by Team Rocket, of which Quincy took part. In the process, Joker used her completed, though untested amplification machine to empower Leviathan, her Golurk, causing it to grow to roughly 80 feet in size.
As the Rocket group and Quincy arrived in Goldenrod, Joker made short work of the entity--called Wrath--using Leviathan's immense strength, immobilizing but not killing him. Before he could be finished off by Ryan Hakuda, Wrath attacked the Golurk with a beam of anger, which appeared to have no effect on the titan. He soon vanished as Ryan struck him. As Joker descended to the streets and began to organize investigations and repairs, as well as riot control to counter the mass-anger that Wrath had placed upon a number of citizens, Quincy revealed herself, shooting Joker. The bullet was stopped by the Shadow Admin's armor, but it succeeded in destroying Leviathan's Poké Ball, and the Golurk subsequently fell into a rage. Quincy escaped, trusting Leviathan to do the job of killing Joker.
After a long and grueling battle, in which several members of Team Rocket and Team Liberty became involved, Leviathan was destroyed, along with a significant amount of damage dealt to Goldenrod. James Pierce and Quincy soon met to discuss this outcome, with Pierce displaying a clear sense of disappointment toward the Third Child for her rash behavior. As a consequence for her failure, Pierce placed her in charge of a joint mission with Team Energon, informing her that her objective would be both to destroy Team Magma and to ensure that Team Energon's leader, Michael Travis, would die.
Wreaking Havoc Edit
Following her conversation with Pierce, Quincy began preparations for her attack on Havoc. After selecting a date to begin the attack and hand-picking eighteen Déoza Agents to assist in the assault, she and her crew departed to Titan. There, they met Travis and his forces, including a recently-returned Ryan Hikari. Suspicions arose almost immediately upon Quincy's arrival, though the combined group formed up without a hitch.
On Quincy's orders, she and her eighteen Agents sent out their Beheeyem, who surrounded the group. They teleported into Team Magma's base, with each Déoza Agent accompanied by roughly five Team Energon Agents. Unbeknownst to Energon, Quincy had ordered her Agents to psychically brainwash those of Energon, setting them up to kill any and all living beings that they came across--including each other, whilst excluding the Déoza Agents themselves. While Energon and Magma tore each other apart, Déoza would plant bombs around the base, ensuring its destruction, all while maintaining a teleportation barrier that would prevent any escape. The plan worked with only two hitches, and Havoc quickly devolved into chaos.
The first issue arose--unknown to Quincy--with the group consisting of Ryan Hikari, Lidiya Vasilyev, Per Styles, Vera Abbing, and another Energon Agent. The Déoza Agent in charge of that group, Dareios Sinason, misstepped during the teleportation process and thus failed to put them under mind control. As a result, he was soon killed, though managed to kill the fifth Energon Agent in turn.
The second misstep occurred on Quincy's part. She and Travis appeared together in a secluded section of Havoc, where Travis quickly realized that he had been double-crossed--and that his Poké Balls had not been transported with him. Quincy attacked Travis, though he managed to fend her off long enough to run away, seemingly forcing Quincy to pursue him. In reality, she desired to finish off Maxie and Travis at the same time, and thus viewed Travis's escape as little more than a stalling action.
The pair traversed through much of Havoc, passing by the destruction that had spread through it as a result of Déoza and Energon's actions. Eventually, they reached Havoc's Command Center, which had been locked down. Travis called for help from Maxie, though received no response before Quincy's arrival soon after. Using Wizard's psychic abilities, she swiftly silenced the many Magma Agents inside of the Command Center, before opening the blast doors enough to drag Maxie out.
As she moved in for the kill, Quincy was interrupted by the arrival of Ryan Hikari's group. Quincy swiftly killed both Abbing and Styles, and almost proceeded to do the same before a group of combined Rocket and Liberty Agents arrived on the scene--Joker, Ethan Worth, Gavin Braner, Lucia Zyther, Jamie Arthur, and Skye Hall from Team Rocket, aiming to capture Quincy for her crimes in Goldenrod and from earlier incidents, and James Arthur, Roderick Krane, Zack Furler, Cyan Vero, and Drake Masters from Team Liberty, who had come to give back-up to Team Magma.
Seeing the odds very much out of her favor, Quincy called for assistance from two of her Agents, Naum Rhodes and Dragan Argall. Then, using Wizard's abilities again, she imprisoned Vasilyev, Maxie, and Travis in a metal prison, before splitting the massive group into three separate ones, each battling in different pocket dimensions within Havoc. Quincy herself was left to face Joker, James Arthur, Ethan Worth, and Ryan Hikari. After revealing herself to her opponents gain, Quincy teleported the metal cage outside of Havoc, sending Vasilyev, Maxie, and Travis to their deaths.
The battle began on all three fronts. Over the course of Quincy's battle, she continued to taunt and belittle her opponents--for a time. Soon enough, her opponents began to question Quincy's motives, at which point she began to speak of the lack of purpose behind the likes of Soil Colossus, the Searchers, Team Magma, and Team Energon, stating that unlike Team Liberty and Team Rocket, those groups acted only on their own behalf. When James and Joker called her out on this, Quincy spoke of the Hojohsin League's intent to "protect" the masses, though would not--or could not--elaborate when pressed for an answer by Ethan. In the process, she inadvertently revealed that President James Pierce was one of their Agents.
Eventually, Rhodes and Argall were both defeated, prompting their pocket dimensions to dissolve and ultimately killing them. Minutes later, Wizard was defeated, causing Adams's dimension to dissolve. With her job done, she prepared herself to be arrested, though warned the Rocket-Liberty group that they had only a little while to make a decision as to who would take her, given the impending explosions from Havoc's reactor and the bombs that Déoza had planted.
As the group debated their next course of action, they were interrupted by the arrival of Tyler McKinley and a young, masked boy. McKinley revealed that he had been keeping an eye on the situation and that he had come to rescue Quincy, using the presence of the boy--Calvin Truman, the Eighth Child--as insurance against being attacked in the process. He then confirmed that Pierce was one of Ford's, before allowing Quincy to exit. As they left, Calvin called out to Joker, revealing his identity as Levi Alaric, though Joker could do nothing to stop him from being taken away from Havoc.
Quincy reappeared with McKinley and Levi in Titan, where James Pierce was meeting with Energon's remaining Executives-turned-Leaders Peter, Jennet, and Zennet. Having already informed them of Travis's demise, the Executives wished to hear the full series of events from Quincy, who fabricated a tale about having met unexpected resistance and reinforcements from Team Magma and Team Liberty, suggesting that someone in Energon had leaked their plans.
Peter, Jennet, and Zennet were unconvinced, being well aware of the Hojohsin League's past treacheries against their allies, and as a result prepared to challenge the Hojohsin Agents. Before they could, Pierce chided them, and then ordered McKinley to use his Xatu to brainwash them. As a result, they were left to inform the rest of Energon of what had occurred, and then left to dissolve the organization, saving face for the Hojohsin League. After witnessing this, Quincy returned to Ford's base with her fellow Children, earning herself a break commissioned by Pierce.
Wind-Down Edit
Babysitting Edit
Quincy was assigned to look after Levi Alaric while the other Children finished their final preparations for Ford's plan--Hayes going to Fortree City to locate Ellen, Pierce finishing business as the President of Hoenn, and McKinley working on recruitment for the final Child.
Quincy found herself quickly annoyed by Levi's lack of activity, noting that he essentially did little more than sit around moping all day. After questioning him about this, she left to retrieve something from her room. On the way there she ran into McKinley, who was preparing to head out again. He revealed that Van Harrison, the Fifth Child, had vanished after an incident in Opelucid City, and thus needed to be replaced. After a series of questions from Quincy, he informed her that Harrison had not died, as they would have felt it. McKinley departed, leaving Quincy to her business.
After this meeting, Quincy returned to Levi, giving to him a book that she had owned for much of her life--The Classical Fairy Tales. Levi expressed surprise at her owning it, but took it regardless. As Quincy returned to her own reading, Levi asked her about the girl whose name was written inside as the owner of the book, Tiana Soldati. When Levi stated that she sounded "like a nice person," Quincy assured him that she was not.
After Skye's arrival at Ford's facility, Quincy conversed with the new Fifth Child. Both recognized each other from their brief meeting in Havoc, leading Quincy to assume that Skye viewed her as a monster. To her surprise, Skye expressed sympathy and understanding instead, and managed to establish a connection with Quincy before the Third Child departed from the scene.
A very lithe and agile woman, Quincy stands at 5'10". She has slightly longer than shoulder-length, dark brown hair and brown eyes, with fairly pale skin. As is usual with Ford's agents, Quincy tends to wear a black jacket with a white trim and black shoes. She wears dark brown shorts, a dark purple sweater under her jacket whose sleeve-ends form what are essentially cuffs, and dark brown stockings that go the middle of her thighs. Quincy also wears purple earrings.
Out of John Ford's three agents, Quincy is easily the rashest and least merciful. She has no qualms with injuring, kidnapping and threatening multiple people if it means completing her objectives, even going so far as to kill those who refuse to cooperate with her. It is presumably for this reason that she has not yet been shown to have been tasked with any of the more delicate aspects of the Hojohsin League's plan, such as the initial negotiations with the groups that Ford allied with. Despite this, Quincy is still considered a valuable agent.
Quincy has also been shown to be very confident in her and her Pokémon's abilities. During the battle against the Unown horde, she did not seem worried by the sheer number of the Symbol Pokémon, instead focusing on keeping them at bay long enough for her Beeheeyem to conjure up a Synchronize attack that ended up being powerful enough to knock out almost every single Unown in the room. On top of this, she was not worried in the slightest about fighting against the second Mewtwo, despite the amount of power it had displayed from the moment it was created and being informed of Ford about its capabilities. A large part of this, according to hints given by Quincy, is due to the training that she has done with Nine in the past, through which Wizard, her Beeheeyem, learned to manipulate spacial tears in much the same way as the Darkrai and Mewtwo do.
Regardless of her rough exterior, Quincy isn't completely immoral. Abuse of the fabric of space has concerned her, shown during her battle against the second Mewtwo, in which the Legendary in question used a variety of attacks that involved tears in space in an attempt to defeat her and her Pokémon, partially due to directions from Dara Trina; this strategy very nearly caused Quincy to lose her temper, as the pair did not seem to listen to her when she used Wizard to seal the holes shut again. Her generous side was also shown after the Unown were resealed, as she gave the unconscious Ethan Worth a Deerling to add to his team, as well as a new pair of sunglasses to replace the ones she had broken in the abandoned Azalea Town. She seems at least somewhat concerned with the well-being of children, as she felt pity toward Levi for having to bear witness to Pierce's treatment of the Energon Executives on top of responding with outrage when McKinley brought him into Havoc.
Quincy seems to use a team based around magic or fairy tales, given what the Pokémon she uses represent (enchanted trees/Abomasnow and Sudowoodo, enchanted dolls/Banette and Gothitelle, wizards and witches/Beheeyem and Mismagius) as well as their nicknames.

Trivia Edit
- Like John Ford and his other operatives, Quincy's name is based off of that of a past president of the United States. In her case, she is named after John Quincy Adams (6th President.) She is the only operative so far whose name is based only on one president's name.
- Quincy was the first of Ford's Agents to have any Pokémon revealed.
- Quincy was the one who gave Ethan Worth his Deerling.
- Parugi considered swapping out Chan, a Sudowoodo, with a Trevenant following the release of Generation 6, as Trevenant fits more closely with Quincy's Fairy Tale Pokémon theme. However, he eventually opted to keep her team the same as had been established, in order to retain consistency between her appearances.
- Quincy's real name, Tiana Soldati, was picked for its relation to fairy tales (being the name of the titular princess from Disney's The Princess and the Frog) and for its relation to her role within the Hojohsin League (Soldati meaning "soldier.")

Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus)
|(Fig. 01)
Description: The killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) is a medium-sized plover. Killdeer have a characteristic large, round head, long tail, long flesh-colored legs, and long wings. The bill is short, dark, and thick. Plumage is brownish-tan on dorsal areas and white on the ventral belly and chest; the neck is also surrounded by a white collar. Two large, dark bands surround the upper breast with an additional band located on the head, spanning both the forehead and the area above the bill and continuing around the back of the head. The tail is brown with a black subterminal band, a white terminal band, and white outer tail feathers. Additional defining plumage characters include a brightly colored red-orange rump that is visible during flight and displays, white wing stripes visible during flight. Appearance does not vary between males and females, although breeding females may have additional brown plumage on the head. Juveniles resemble adults with the exception of buff fringe feathers and the presence of only one neck band (Figs. 1 & 2). An adult killdeer range in length from 9.1–10.6 inches with a wingspan averaging 19 in. The largest ringed plover, killdeer weigh 3.1 oz on average. The killdeer frequently uses a "broken wing act" and piteous cries they indulge in to draw potential predators away from nests and chicks.
During nesting season killdeer use open dry uplands, open areas where vegetation is short or absent, and meadows. In addition, killdeer use open wetland habitat and savannahs, selecting dry bare ground and dry ground with vegetation within wetland areas. Nesting habitat is characterized as having enough nest materials to form a scrape but otherwise having little or no vegetation. They are migratory in northern areas and winter as far south as northern South America.

Las Vegas Springs Preserve - Trip Notes for 04/27/2018
{Click on an image to enlarge, then use the back button to return to this page}
This page last updated on 04/28/2018
|(Fig. 01)
04/27/2018 Trip Notes: Today, Jim Herring and Blake Smith and myself visited the Springs Preserve for some picture taking. We started out having lunch in the Divine Cafe. We ate out on the 2nd story deck which has a nice view of the City. After a nice lunch on the deck (Fig. 01) we headed to the flower and cactus gardens and the butterfly habitat for some picture taking. For the purpose of describing today's visit, I have divided this page into two sections; the flower and cactus garden and the butterfly habitat.
Flower and Cactus Garden: The Spring Preserve's Botanical Garden is an 8-acre garden
Flower and Cactus Garden with thousands of Mojave Desert and desert-adapted plants. Nearly all of the native and cacti and yucca species on the grounds were rescued from local lands that were being developed for residential or commercial use. More than 400 mature trees and plants, some 20 years old and more than 30 feet tall, were transplanted to the Botanical Garden and throughout the Preserve. The Mojave native plants on display were grown from cuttings collected in the Las Vegas Valley, making the plants genetically true and better adapted to the climate. This is an inviting oasis and provides hundreds of picture taking opportunities. The Preserve's collection has received the Award for Garden Excellence from Horticulture Magazine and was named one of the "Top 10 North American Gardens Worth Traveling For" at the Garden Tourism Awards. Though I was hoping to find more cactus in bloom, I was still able to capture some good ones.

Butterfly Habitat: Description: Now a permanent part of the preserve, the butterfly habitat opened on 18 September, 2014. It is now open each fall and spring when the weather is ideal for their open-air habitat. The habitat has metal screen walls and can be entered through a vestibule with an inner and outer door to keep the butterflies from escaping. The habitat offers different types of butterflies each season, in part because of the insects' short lifespan. On average, because they only spend a few weeks as an adult, they will be bringing in a variety of different species, including native species and exotics from around the world and changing them up from week to week or month to month. The butterflies are farm-raised and packed individually for transport to the habitat. This visit was somewhat disappointing. It was the least amount of butterflies I have ever seen here. Not sure if it was the heat and time of year or what. As a result I wasn't able to get very many good pictures. Though there were a log of the butterflies like the one in picture (Fig. 24), we couldn't get any of them to land long enough to get a picture in focus.
|(Fig. 24)
Nevada State Museum: Even though we had all planned on going to the museum, Jim was the only one who went. Blake and I decided to head home. The museum is a 70,000-square-foot building, featuring a 13,000-square-foot exhibit gallery that stands as the museum centerpiece, featuring a replica of a Ichthyosaur Shonisaurus popularis (Fig. XX). This months' feature exhibit is "Finding Frémont: Pathfinder of the West". This exhibit focuses on explorer John C. Frémont's Western journey from 1843-1844, when he earned his nickname "The Great Pathfinder," and brought his famed cannon to Nevada. Among the centerpieces for the exhibit are the mountain howitzer that many believe is Frémont's lost cannon, an archaeological discovery of mountain howitzer carriage parts, modern color photographs of Fremont campsites and vistas that retain their 19th century settings. After spending more than an hour touring the museums' exhibits we roamed some more of the springs' grounds taking pictures before heading home.
On my way home, I stopped at a park on Paseo Verde and took a few pictures of some roses. (Fig. 25)

text: This unique paper combines the best of Needlefelting and Wetfelting in one. This is the easy way to wet felt as it does not involve the hard work usually associated with that process. You can make lightweight lacey pieces, perhaps for a scarf, or you can make solid pieces maybe to make a bag. Whilst a full instruction leaflet is included for you briefly you tack the fibres onto the paper and then soak with soapy water and cover with the plastic sheet which is also provided. It is then rolled into a loose 'sausage' and secured at each end, then into an old pillow case – then into the tumble dryer. (It can also be done in the washing machine but I find the tumble drier gives the best results). The dryer will felt the piece without affecting the paper (it does not dry the item). Finally boiling water will remove the paper.

My wife collects Hummel Figures. You might say we have adopted an entire family of little German urchins over our 47+ years of marriage. Ever since 1935, when the W. Goebel porcelain works in Oeslau, Germany first created three-dimensional versions of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummels' drawings, these little figurines have been avidly collected and displayed.
Berta Hummel entered the Siessen Convent in 1931 as a Franciscan postulate, already possessed of artistic talent. When she received her habit in 1933, she took the name, Sister Maria Innocentia which related well to the youthful innocence radiating from the faces of the little figurines which her convent artwork inspired.
Although the Hummel collection belongs to my wife, I have been an active enabler through lo, these many years. I like them too, and I enjoyed surprising my wife with the many gift additions she received on Christmas, birthdays, and Mother's Day. Here is the very first one she ever received from me, on our first Christmas together, 1966:
"Just Resting" (the girl on the fence) was purchased at Macy's at the Stanford Shopping Center, December, 1966.
Another of our favorites was also purchased at the Stanford Shopping Center, only, this time, at the Emporium. One evening, around the year 1980, we rode the escalator to the second floor in the Emporium while doing some shopping. As we stepped off at the second floor, we passed a display of Hummels. We stopped and scanned the colorful collection of urchins, and we both commented on one in particular, "The Doctor." We decided we were not ready for the $32 outlay at that point, so we moved on. Unknown to her, I circled back later to purchase it after I made some excuse about going to look for such-and-such in some other department of the store. When we got home that evening, we commented on "The Doctor," and I suggested she take a minute to tally-up the total number of Hummels in her collection. Lo, and behold, she had one more than she realized… counting 'The Doctor" which I had snuck-in on her shelf. That was fun!
The nicest piece of all is the one in the first picture of the post; it is named, "We Wish You the Best." I stumbled upon this in a local antique shop many years ago. Buying it in used but perfect condition saved some money off of the "new' price. I am glad I gave it to her, for this piece is rarely seen on antique-collectable shelves.
Over the years, Linda's collection grew to the point where there was no curio cabinet space left for more, and she moved on to other activities and interests. The last two additions to her collection are the large versions of "Umbrella Girl" and "Umbrella Boy." They make a good "last gasp."
Although Linda's collection no longer welcomes "new faces," we continue to enjoy the wholesome little urchins that have been with us for a long time. Occasionally, I will stop by the cabinet and take a few peaceful moments to survey each of those radiant faces, remembering still, the time and exact circumstance when each of them came into our lives. For many of them, that was a very long time ago, a time when my wife and I were both young, too. As little works of art and reminders/time-markers of various points in our married life, they are very special.

Canada's Cara Adds 106-Unit Steakhouse Chain
Ontario-based restaurant group Cara Operations has expanded its ownership presence across North America, acquiring Canadian steakhouse chain The Keg.
The $200 million deal with Keg Restaurants Ltd. adds 106 steakhouses to Cara's portfolio of more than 1,200 restaurants in North America and turns Cara into Canada's largest full-service restaurant operator. Cara acquired the Pickle Barrel late last year and rotisserie chicken chain St-Hubert in 2016; its stable of brands also includes Swiss Chalet, Milestones and Original Joe's.
The deal marks the latest consolidation move in an industry dominated by three operators that account for one-sixth of restaurant sales in Canada.
That trio—Cara, MTY Food Group and Restaurant Brands International—brought in an estimated $10 billion from a total $60 billion spent at restaurants last year, according to NPD Group. MTY owns more than 2,450 locations, mostly in food courts, with brands including Mr. Sub, ManchuWOK, Extreme Pita, and Pinkberry. RBI, parent company of Tim Hortons, Burger King and Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, operates roughly 4,100 restaurants in Canada.
More than 60% of Canada's approximately 72,000 restaurants are regional chains or individual units.

Sometimes you are just too lazy to write a post. When that is the case, maybe it is time to just post some lazy pictures.
The pictures here were all take at La Isla de Los Lobos. See: Beagle Channel Wildlife
I hope you enjoy these pictures of sea lions.
Even the birds here look a little lazy.
Oh wait, these birds look alert.
Don't they look like they are getting a good nap?
My favorite of the pictures. Which one is yours?
