History of the kingdom of Kahuripan
Kahuripan (also spelt Kuripan) was an 11th-century Javanese Hindu-Buddhist kingdom with its capital located around the estuarine of Brantas River valley in East Java. The kingdom was short lived only spanned the period between 1019 to 1045 and Airlangga was the only raja of the kingdom, which was built out of the rubble of the Kingdom of Medang after the Srivijaya invasion. Airlangga later in 1045 abdicated in favor of his two sons. Sri Samarawijaya got Kadiri (Panjalu) and Mapanji Garasakan got Janggala.
The kingdom's name derived from Old Javanese term hurip ("to life") with circumfix ka- -an which means "life" or "livelihood". Later in 14th to 15th century, the former kingdom was recognized as one of Majapahit's 12 provinces.

2056: Pete's Probably Non-Comprehensive Visual Novel Primer
Pete Davison •#oneaday •4h ago
I posted the following over on the Squadron of Shame forums the other day, since we were getting into a discussion on visual novels. I thought it might be of some interest to people who don't frequent the Squawkbox, so I present it here in slightly extended format for your enjoyment and information.
Pete's Probably Non-Comprehensive Visual Novel Primer
What is a visual novel?
First things first, get out of the habit of thinking of a visual novel as a "game", despite the fact that they're typically sold as games, referred to as "games" and share a number of stylistic and mechanical elements with games. In Japanese popular culture, visual novels are treated as their own distinct medium, and in the pantheon of media which creators tell stories across, they comfortably sit alongside light novels, manga, anime, movies, live-action TV shows and, yes, video games. Transmedia productions often span several or even all of the above formats, and any one of them can prove the starting point for a successful franchise.
The reason I mention visual novels' distinction from traditional games is because visual novels very often don't have any "gameplay" as such, and coming to them with the expectation that you will be "doing" anything is often a recipe for disappointment. There are exceptions of course, since some visual novels do incorporate "game" elements — notable examples include Aselia the Eternal's extremely deep and satisfying strategy game and its spiritual successor Yumina the Ethereal's dungeon-crawling and peculiar argument-based battle system — but for the most part, visual novels are about reading reams of text accompanied by some combination of art, music and voice acting. In other words, they're a dedicated storytelling medium that occupies a peculiar space at the intersection between manga, anime and traditionally written prose.
Danganronpa, Corpse Party and Ace Attorney are often described as visual novels due to their text-heavy nature and emphasis on linear storytelling, but there's a strong argument that they are more adventure game than visual novel due to their balance between story and game being firmly in favour of "game". Ultimately it doesn't matter all that much; if you're less than familiar with the visual novel medium as a whole, though, just don't go in expecting to actually have any interaction whatsoever, and then you can only be pleasantly surprised if you do get to do something. The appeal of a visual novel is in the storytelling, not the interaction.
Types of visual novel
The presentation of pure visual novels can be roughly broken down into two main types:
NVL ("novel") types fill the screen with text, usually in a semi-transparent box so you can see the artwork behind it, and read like a traditional novel. Examples of this type include Kana Little Sister and KiraKira.
ADV ("adventure") types look more "gamey", with a dialogue box at the bottom of the screen and a clear view of the art and characters. These tend to have a sharper demarcation between narration and dialogue, compared to NVL types, which will often mix both on a single screen of text. Examples of this type include Katawa Shoujo and The Fruit of Grisaia. This is probably the more common type we see in the West.
Visual novels can also be split into a couple of different categories according to structure:
Kinetic novels have no choices whatsoever. You start them up, you read them, you reach the end. You have absolutely no interaction whatsoever — it's a pure storytelling medium.
Multi-scenario visual novels are the more common type. Most of these start with a common route, then branch off in a number of different directions according to choices you make in the common route. Some further split the branches into other routes, not all of them necessarily ending well; others guarantee you a specific good ending once you lock in a particular route.
Other useful terminology
Bad/Wrong/Dead End — an ending in which the protagonist and/or hero/heroine dies, usually. Not necessarily a "fail" state; if the story is a tragedy, there might be nothing but bad endings!
Good End — an ending in which everything resolves nicely and cleanly, and (usually) no-one dies.
True End — an ending which is treated as canonical for the purposes of sequels, whether or not sequels actually exist. True Ends are often inaccessible until you complete all the other routes.
Decision point — being presented with a choice. Not every choice in a visual novel has an impact on how the story ends out, but most don't tell you one way or the other, and some don't even allow you to save while a decision point is on screen, so choose wisely!
Clear — reading a visual novel to one of its conclusions.
Full/100% Clear — reading all of the possible routes to a visual novel, including bad endings, and unlocking all the bonus content.
Flag — hidden binary variables that are set and unset according to the choices that you make. The most commonly referenced is the "death flag", where a choice you made will result in someone's death, not necessarily immediately. Some visual novels use flags to determine which route you end up on.
Points/stats — other visual novels have hidden "stats" according to your choices, and use these to determine which route you end up on. Kana Little Sister is an example of this; the choices you make in the first half of the game determine the personality of the protagonist and his sister, and this determines how the latter half of the game plays out.
Skip — the ability to fast-forward through text you've already read. All but essential for subsequent playthroughs to get different routes, unless you really want to read all the same text again. Most visual novels stop skipping when they reach a decision point.
CG/event image — a piece of artwork that isn't a character sprite overlaid on a background, usually depicting something significant happening. You are considered to have 100% cleared a visual novel when you have unlocked every CG in the game's gallery page.
H-scene — pronounced "ecchi scene", these are the erotic scenes in an eroge or nukige.

McLain Ward and Sapphire © John Kassel
Unlike Saturday, the weather for the FTI Grand Prix was beautiful. Expectations were high, but the first clean round did not come until the thirteenth rider, Judy Garofalo Torres riding Higher Ground Farm's Oliver. Torres had to wait a long time to see if anyone in the field of 33 could challenge her fault-free performance. One by one the best riders and horses in the country were beaten by the Conrad Homfeld-designed course as rails continued to fall.
"I was kind of surprised," said Torres of the lack of clean rounds. "My horse did so well. I did think there would be a few more clears. I was getting pretty excited at the end."
The possibility of no jump-off was finally erased by the day's last rider, McLain Ward, and his 14-year-old, Belgian warmblood mare. The audience collectively held its breath as Sapphire negotiated the fences without fault creating a battle of the sexes for the jump-off; Ward on his mare and Torres on her 19-year-old stallion.
Torres went first in the tiebreaker and rode conservatively leaving all the rails up, but in a beatable time of 56.88 seconds. Ward made it look easy rolling around the Grand Prix turf flawlessly posting a winning time of 50.81. Third place went to Darragh Kenny of Ireland and Obelix, owned by Trade Winds Farm, the fastest of the nine four-fault rounds.
"The course was quite difficult," said Ward. "Over the last few years the standard of this horse show has gone up again. Shannette (Cohen) has taken the show to another level. On course, the water line was spooky and caused a lot of trouble and the last line was a little mushy which might be why a lot of rails went down, but the footing held up great."
Since Ward was the last to go in the first round and there were only two in the jump-off, there was not too much time in between rounds, making it a little tough for Ward and Sapphire.
"She was running out of gas at the end of the jump-off and so was I, but she knows the game and was able to get it done," said Ward. "Either she keeps getting better or I have stopped getting in the way. Hopefully she stays healthy."
This is the seventh win for Sapphire in 2009 (and the 118th career win for Ward), an amazing statistic for any horse, but especially for a 14-year-old mare. "This year we picked the FTI events, they have been very good to us," joked Ward referring to his FTI victory in the $400,000 Grand Prix in Wellington in March.
Ward's win, coming in the heels of his triumph in Friday's $50,000 Spy Coast Farm Grand Prix Qualifier, made him just the third rider, following Joe Fargis in 2005 and Hillary Dobbs in 2008, to sweep the Hampton Classic's two lead events. For good measure, Ward also won the $30,000 Fendi Cup on Goldika on the day in between, giving him Grand Prix wins on three consecutive days.
Even though Torres did not make it to the winner's circle, she was not too disappointed "I have had him for ten years," said Torres referring to her 19-year-old. "I wanted this class to be the class of the year, the main event for him. Coming in second to McLain is very, very exciting. I'll take it."

We made it! It's officially 2017. A brand new year. A change to wipe the slate clean if you so please. I always get excited for the new year. I know there is a lot of negativity around setting new years resolutions, but in my opinion, it is admirable to try and better yourself! I shared a few more thoughts about new years negativity in my new Odyssey article. If you would like to read it click here!
Anyways, I thought I would share a few of my resolutions and how I motivate myself to fulfill them!
My first goal is to bullet journal. A few years ago, I made the goal to become more organized and really utilize a planner. Since then I become a devote planner user, and have never been more on top of things in my life. This year, I really want to bullet journal. Not only about assignments and tasks that I need to fulfill in that day, but personal and spiritual goals that I'm trying to achieve. I purchased a notebook at target for only $3 to really jump start my bullet journal journey. I'm not sure where this journey is going to take me, but I'm excited to get started!
Sometimes, goals are hard to achieve because life takes over and we lose track of them. That's why I'm a huge believer in writing your goals down! Go to target, buy a notebook, write it on your calendar, write it on a sticky note and stick it somewhere, whatever you do Write It Down!
I can't stress that enough. Maybe it's because I'm a visual person, but writing things down really helps me to visualize my goals.
Another goal for the new year is to really take my blog to the next level! I've recently bought a camera and have been experimenting with it! I'm also in the process of buying a blog theme for this site! Blogging is something I love to do, and this year I am really going to try and take more time doing what I love! I'm planning on using my bullet journal for some blog ideas as well!
I also picked up this adorable note pad to jot down some ideas. Like I said, writing things down is such a key for me! There is nothing worse then forgetting an idea that comes to you at the strangest time. So this year, I'm writing every idea down!
All in all, new years is such an inspiring time! New years is a time to start fresh, and become inspired again! I hope your new year if full of blessing and love! Happy 2017 everyone!
Until Next Time

Just as many all over the world celebrated with former President Obasanjo, Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation on Tuesday, described ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo as the 'father of modern Nigeria'.
Fani-Kayode, who took to his verified Twitter handle, prayed God to grant Obasanjo strength and good health as he marks another year.
He made this remark while felicitating with Obasanjo as he celebrates his 82nd birthday.

Land of The Long Night Loud!
New Zealand is a unique place and there's something special about the country pubs there.
In the 80s, The Misfits were a pub rock band in New Zealand. I joined them as lead singer in 1988. We played rock 'n roll, three and four nights a week, in all sorts of venues and at all sorts of events but the best gigs of all were in country pubs.
Going through some old VHS tapes, I found one that was marked, "Misfits, Waipu 1988". The video was from not long after I joined and was of a gig at the Waipu Hotel.
Waipu is a small town in Bream Bay, in the Northland Region of New Zealand. At the time it had a population of around a thousand. On the nights we played there, I think most of them were in the Waipu Hotel. It was the town's only pub.
Country pubs are perfect for pub rock. The band sets up at one end and the bar is at the other. There's no stage, you set up on the floor. You bring your own gear including lights and PA, put on a $5 cover charge and your roadies collect the money and manage the door. The band takes what you make on the door, the pub takes what they make over the bar. We used to play five, 45 minute sets with fifteen minute breaks in-between to encourage plenty of business at the bar.
The standing room only crowds in those country pubs were just the best. They fed off our energy and we fed off theirs for the best part of five hours a night. The sound quality in the video isn't great but that doesn't matter. A gig in a Kiwi country pub, isn't about hi-fi, its about hi-vibe.
Craic on!

Looking at the Sunny Side Part 2
April 9, 2019
Have you heard the good news? Probably not because you're too busy focusing on the bad things in the word you cynical noodle. Here we are back again with a part two of Looking on the sunny side. Although recently there have been some terrible things in the news recently, there's always something good too.
Are you a fan of butterflies or bees? Well if you said no, what is wrong with you? Do you hate the environment? Well if you said yes, I have some wonderful news for you. The National Pollinator Garden Network has reached about 1,040,000 gardens, passing their goal of one million. Protecting pollinators such as bees is extremely important to our food supply. This is a win for people and the environment.
In other environment news, a 26 year old engineer just cleaned up 10 lakes, helping his village in India. Certain areas in India have been suffering from droughts. This young guy just brought back water sources to his country, not many can say that they accomplished something like that.
A woman recently bought out an entire shoe store and it wasn't for selfish reasons. This woman bought 204 pairs of shoes and donated all of them to Nebraska flood victims. So far in this recent flood, 75 cities in Nebraska have been affected. This 25 year old has donated 44 pairs of women's shoes, 162 pairs of baby shoes, and 2 pairs of men's shoes.
HIV is an incredibly horrible disease to suffer from. In good news regarding HIV, a woman with HIV donated her kidney to another person with HIV. This woman saved the life of another person by giving away an organ which is absolutely wild.
So with all of the terrible things going on in the world, there will always be some good things. There will always be things to look forward to. There will always be cake to eat and dogs to pet. There will always be a sunny side.

Sumter QB Stephen Curtis is gaining notice as he approaches his senior year. Curtis led his team to the Big 16 state championship game last year, throwing for 25 TDs and running for 11 more on the way.
Curtis has the size major schools are looking for at the position; he's 6-3 and 215 pounds. He is ranked No.16 on our SC Top 25 prospects list. He received an early offer from Furman, but since then a number of BCS schools have been taking a closer look, although none have offered yet.
Among those inquiring have been Duke, LSU, Maryland, North Carolina, N.C. State, Oregon, South Carolina and Vanderbilt.
Curtis also is a starter on the baseball and basketball teams.
If recruiters head to Sumter to see Curtis, they can also check out OL Marques Pair (6-6 270). Pair had a strong season before tearing cartilage in a knee in the state semifinals. He's an athletic kid, with long arms and quick feet, agile enough to be a standout on the basketball team.
Pair is drawing early interest from Clemson, N.C. State, South Carolina and Maryland, among others.

The economic outlook experienced "frightening" deterioration in the final three months of 2008, business leaders have warned.
The British Chambers of Commerce says there are no positive features in its quarter four economic survey, which is the worst on record for both manufacturing and services since the survey was first published in 1989.
The UK is now facing a very serious recession, the organisation warns, with the downturn deepening at an "alarming pace". The survey shows that exports as well as domestic demand are down, and confidence is low.
David Frost, director-general of the BCC, says the UK's economy is facing exceptional threats.
"These are truly awful results with the scale and speed of the economic decline happening at an unprecedented rate," he adds.
The BCC calls on the government to focus on supporting the production sectors of the economy, and roll out a national recovery plan as soon as possible.
David Kern, the BCC's chief economist, warns that official measures have, so far, failed to alleviate the downturn. However, he believes that a prolonged recession can still be prevented if action is taken now.
The high street
Meanwhile, the high street has reported its worst December for sales for 14 years with clothing, furniture and homeware sales all taking a big hit.
Other than food and footwear, all retail sectors saw sales fall last month from the same period in 2007, making December 2008 the worst month for sales since records began in 1995. The British Retail Consortium, which produced the figures, says heavy discounting was unable to rescue shops' Christmas performance, with only footwear being given a boost from the sales.
The BRC says December was a game of two halves for retailers, with the first two weeks particularly tough with many people not hitting the high street until the week before Christmas when the early clearance sales began.
Stephen Robertson, director general of the BRC, says the figures are "truly dreadful" for nearly all retail sectors.
"Non-food retailers had a torrid December despite a blizzard of promotions and deals, which would have hit margins," he adds. "Many hard-pressed customers couldn't be seduced into spending."
Online shopping, however, did reverse the trend with non-food sales up 30%. Sharon Hardiman, head of non-store retailing at the BRC, says this indicates customers are increasingly confident with leaving internet shopping until nearer Christmas.
She adds: "Some retailers offered later dates for guaranteed Christmas delivery this year. While this is a fast-growing sector, it still represents too small a part of total spending to compensate the poor performance of retailing overall."
Retail experts say that December's performance typically sets the scene for the year ahead – suggesting that 2009 will be even tougher than 2008 for the high street.
Helen Dickinson, head of retail at KPMG, says: "That this was the worst December sales performance since the survey began 14 years ago is testament to the severity of the shift in mentality of the consumer. Although the food sector continues to hold up, most non-food retailers are having to manage the double whammy of falling sales and falling margins and this doesn't look like changing any time soon."
Even supermarket giant Tesco is feeling the pain, with its latest results showing sales rose by just 2.5% over the Christmas period. The store blames "challenging" conditions for its disappointing results, which leave it lagging behind its big four rivals of Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons.
Andrew Higginson, finance director at Tesco, says the figure is the weakest the company has seen since the last recession.
Although Morrisons is yet to unveil its figures for the period, it is still expected that Tesco will remain behind its rivals, as analysts predict growth of approximately 9% for Morrisons. Last week, Sainsbury's exceeded analyst expectation by posting 4.5% sales growth over the 13-week period to 3 January, while Asda doesn't disclose like-for-like sales.

First Niagara Center is a multiuse facility and home to the NHL Buffalo Sabres, the Buffalo Bandits in Lacrosse, and a venue for all concerts and family shows performed in Buffalo.
It isn't easy to host these events. Winning helps, but being able to stay in contact with fans and making sure that they can contact a representative easily is imperative to ensure an excellent customer experience. To facilitate this interaction requires modern telephony features.
The Mitel deployment made it stress-free for the Sabres to get up and running. Much of the work was done in the offseason and allowed employees to work, while the Mitel VoIP system was implemented in the background. One mission was to enhance Sabre customer service, which required a fully featured contact center.
Major League Baseball (MLB) needed a way for all 30 teams to have a better way to communicate on the field by providing a common user experience. Mitel helped the MLB give players, coaches and officials with simple communications, which also enhanced the fan experience.Läs mer
When Liverpool FC needed a way to improve employee collaboration and the fan experience, they turned to Mitel.
When Tottenham Hotspur began building a new sports and entertainment stadium, they needed a way to improve customer service capabilities and employee collaboration. Mitel was there to answer the call.Läs mer

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT | How to Apply Antiquing Wax
I am always in a blue & white mood. I have to work to step away from that color palette, but sometimes it just needs to be done! I've been feeling a red piece coming on for a while now and this antique Eastlake-style oak dresser seemed like a good candidate. I painted it in Tricycle, which is the red in the MMS Milk Paint line. It really is the perfect red. While we're talking about reds… If you've ever mixed Tricycle, you know it seems like it's never going to come together! Those red pigments resist the water and just float on top, but they will eventually soak up the water and you'll get a nice mix. I painted it in… read more

It's that time – Time to respond to the Gala Invitation!!! Yes, we know – you just got the invitation. The invites were delivered later than any of us expected due to a convergence of missed hand-offs, unexplained printer delays and a poorly designed U.S. Postal Service. Since we can't turn back time (nor fix the U.S. government), we ask you to look forward and sign up today! The School Office will accept your completed response card. We have a few extra invitations, if you'd like to invite a family member or dear friend. Contact one of the Gala Co-Chairs for details.
GROWING OUR GIVING TREE: The Gala Committee is asking the students to talk to their parents (who in turn can reach out to other family members and friends) about attending the 2011 Gala – Education Rocks! – as it honors our faculty and staff. In fact, the faculty and staff will be our guests, and we'd like parents to come and show their appreciation for all that these committed individuals do for the school to "turn today's learners into tomorrow's leaders." If we reach our goal of 250 tickets, the entire school will get a special treat AND an extra 15 minutes of recess (as already approved by Principal Kersting). Watch our Giving Tree (by the School Office) fill with apples in the coming days!!!
Looking to Donate? There's just over two weeks left to donate to the 2011 Gala. Families have the "option" (not required, but sure would be nice) to donate goods or services to the Gala. Please fill in the attached form and return to the School Office.
GALA Volunteer Update Meeting: We are asking all volunteers to attend an Update Meeting on Wednesday, March 16. We will host two meetings – one after morning assembly (Gym Conference Room) and the other at 7:00pm (Parish Hall) – but you only need to attend once! This meeting will provide volunteers with event details and timelines so that the Gala flows smoothly and properly honors our faculty and staff. If you haven't signed up to help, we have just a couple of open spots on our Gala Volunteer Roster. Remember: By participating, you are demonstrating community service to your children; building new parent bonds; and working towards your 15 "A" hours commitment. So it's a WIN / WIN / WIN. Contact Kim Jackson, Volunteer Coordinator, @ 287.0034 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Any questions, please contact one of us!

When editing a proposal in Practice Ignition you'll want to work through the 6 tabs of settings. Don't worry - the vast majority of the work is done in the first 2 tabs and this is a very simple process.
The General tab is up first and controls the overarching proposal settings. Here's a run-through of the settings in this tab;
Proposal Name - a purely internal (client's won't see it) name for the proposal to make it easy to identify what the proposal is for. Common examples might be 'Small package' or 'FY 19 annual accounts'.
Client - which client the proposal is for
Contact - the contact within the client entity who'll receive, and sign, the proposal
Proposal Start Date / End Date - the start and end of the period covered by the engagement.
Directly below these two fields are a number of blue boxes containing shortcut date ranges to help you set these more easily.
Note: While an end date is mandatory, proposals with Continue Recurring Billing enabled or without Recurring billed services will ignore it
Continuous Recurring Billing - enabling this will cause Recurring billing services to continue to invoice and collect payments until you choose to complete or adjust the proposal, essentially ignoring the End Date
Recurring Period - whether Recurring services will recur (and invoice & collect) on a weekly or monthly basis
Recurring Invoice Day - if the Recurring Period is monthly this allows you to set what day of the month the invoicing & collection process starts
Use New Accept Design - governs whether you want to use the new PI proposal design. The new design is laid out to provide a better client experience and also allows additional functionality (such as the two settings below)
Show Service Prices - controls if you'd like the proposal to show the price breakdown per service or to package the prices together.
Eg: if you'd like the client to see $500 per month for bookkeeping, quarterly reporting, Xero subscription & annual financials or $500 per month made up of $250 for bookkeeping, $100 for quarterly reporting, $60 for Xero subscription & $90 for annual financials.
Tip: we suggest leaving this disabled as it makes the proposal much simpler and tends to avoid haggling/conversations around specific service inclusions
Attached Brochure - allows you to attach a PDF brochure to your proposal, putting your best foot forwards and adding more branding & context to your proposals.
The General tab contains far more settings than any other, so now you're through the big one and it's on to the rest!

"Crush Me"
"Oh, that I might have my request,
that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
That it would please God to crush me . . ." Job 6:8
I have been in crushing times when relief didn't come like I wanted.
Lord, I can't always understand what is going on in my life or the lives of loved ones, and so I cry out for Your mercy. And here's a simple poem . . .
The Crushing Places
We may not know
what it was like
to be Job
in a place
so desperately thin
he'd ask God
to crush him
but for those that
do know
that are there
we cry out
for mercy
and hold them
in prayer.

Found Months Later
(he can't remember it happening)
As I lay fully clothed in the bed at 3am
I called to you as you undressed the wrong way
Bring me the custard creams from the kitchen
Please I need them
You go, t-shirted bare legged comedy
Then return with the long yellow packet
In your tequila hand
I say give them to me
You throw them
And they crack against my pissed head
Not too hard but we are laughing then
You join me horizontal
I eat just one
I am your biscuit black-eyed gir
You have salt and lemon on your shirt
Take it off

Homestead exemption is a tax break given to homeowners on their primary residence. A certain amount or percentage (depending on the state/county) of the home's assessed value is exempt from property taxes. This can end up saving you hundreds if not thousands of dollars in property taxes each year!
The homestead exemption only applies to primary residences, which means you can't claim it for a rental property or vacation home. Homeowners who meet certain conditions, such as being more than 65-years-old, a veteran or disabled, may claim additional exemptions. Contact your county's homestead tax department for additional details.
In some states, homestead exemption is automatic, but here in Georgia you must apply for it. However, you only have to do this once and the exemption will remain with the property throughout the duration of your ownership as a primary residence.
Here is what you will need to apply:
- Homeowner Name
- Property Address
- Parcel ID/PIN # (This can be found on your settlement statement. If you need help locating this, please contact me directly)
Deadline for application is April 1st. See you county below
Fulton – (404) 730-6440 – Apply by mail or online, Will automatically file with the City of Atlanta if applicable.
Dekalb (click the dropdown arrow next to "Property Tax" in menu to left, and then select "Apply for Homestead")- (404) 298-4000 – Apply by mail or online , Will automatically file with the City of Atlanta if applicable. If you live in the City of Decatur, you will need to file with the City of Decatur separately.
Cobb – (770) 528-8600 – Deadline is April 1st – Apply in person or by mail. No Online Application. Mail application and required documentation to address below.
Gwinett – (770-822-8800) – Apply online
Forsyth – (770-781-2106) – Deadline is April 1st – Apply in person or by mail
It's a great time of year to knock this out! Should only take a few minutes

It's almost time for the farmer's markets to get into full spring again. And with all this fresh and delicious produce available it would be a crime to not embrace the healthy and tasty salads like this Bacon fig Brussel sprouts salad.
This terrific Bacon fig Brussel sprouts salad recipe is by one of our favorite guest bloggers Karyl at her blog, Karyl's Kulinary Krusade. Please visit Karyl and learn more about her recipe creations and restaurant reviews!
Bacon fig Brussel sprouts salad
Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: American
Servings: 4 people
- 25 Brussel sprouts
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup sweet Mission figlets, ends removed and sliced lengthwise
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup avocado oil or olive oil
- 2 lemons
- 2 teaspoons fresh crack black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 3 cloves roasted garlic, mashed
- In a medium bowl, juice lemon. Add onion powder, black pepper, and roasted garlic and combine. Whisk in oil until fully combined. Set aside
- Add almonds to large, dry skillet. Toast almonds over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes, until golden. Remove and set aside to cool. When cool enough to handle, add almonds to plastic sandwich bag and crush.
- Add bacon to same skillet and cook, until the desired level of done. Remove, drain on paper towels, and crumble
- Cut ends from brussel sprouts. Cut brussel sprouts lengthwise in half (or quarters, if really large). Shred Brussel sprouts in a food processor. Transfer brussel sprouts to the colander, rinse well under running water, and allow to drain well
- In a large bowl, combine brussel sprouts, figs, dried cranberries, red onion, and bacon. Toss well to combine. I find that when I use my hands to toss, and combine the ingredients in batches rather than all at once, the ingredients distribute more evenly
- Top with almonds, then drizzle with vinaigrette. Toss again lightly to coat the salad with vinaigrette.
- FOR BEST RESULTS: Allow salad to rest for at least an hour before serving, to allow flavors to develop. The longer it rests, the better!

I had a set of hot air balloon lanterns from Oriental Trading as Ramadan Decorations. I had intended to spray paint them gold and silver. After I sprayed one of the them gold, I decided I didn't like it and chose to leave the other ones in the color they came in but did add some gold glitter spray.
When my friend, Megan, came over and saw the hot air balloon lanterns she not only loved them, she said she had wanted to make one covered with fabric. Well, four weeks and random Pinterest recommendation, I'm finding myself covering a hot air balloon lantern with strips of fabric I picked up from Jo-Ann.
I choose six patterns in coordinating colors: three with gold metallic print and three with pink and maroon floral and geometric designs. I bought 1/3 of a yard each, having them cut in 6 inch strips making a total of 2 yards (I did end up with extra pieces I'll make into a girl's dress if possible). The remnant pieces aren't big enough to make another one the same size. I cut each strip in half to 3″. I used my hot glue gun to adhere the fabric strips to the top and bottom, adding a little glue to the widest part of the hot air balloon. At the top and bottom, the fabric overlaps quite a bit, you may choose to trim the fabric into wedges at the top and bottom, but I left it as is. The project took about 1.5-2 hours and cost about $30.
Level: Moderate
Duration: 2 hours
Cost: $30
You could cut that down in half by using scrap fabric or cheaper fabric. I bought fabric that was $12.99/yard and it was then 30% off.

What Is A VA Loan And How It Is Helping Veterans?
To put it simply into words, a VA loan is basically a mortgage allowance for the veterans and retired personnel. It is distributed by the Department of Veteran Affairs throughout the eligible candidates in the United States.
About the VA loan
The Department of Veteran Affairs is directly involved in issuing VA loans to the deserving candidates. However, it should not be misconceived because the department itself does not issue any loan to the candidates. In fact, it only facilitates the process of lending money from banks and other financial institutions.
Eligibility For A VA Loan
As the name specifies, not everyone is eligible for a VA loan. It is only designed for the veterans, armed personal and the respective families of the eligible candidates.
Types of VA Loans
There are basically three sub-types of VA loans.
Purchase loans
Cash-out refinance loans
Interest rate reduction loans
Benefits of VA Loans For Veterans
The one obvious reason why VA loans are such a popular choice for veterans is that they have so many benefits to offer to them. Let's take a look at all the ways in which these loans are liable enough to advantage the eligible candidates.
1. No Down Payment
As we all know that VA loans are basically mortgage loans that are designed for the elderly veterans and their family members. Hence it would be a little unreasonable if the loan required the veteran to first pay a heavy amount of down payment. This is hands down the biggest benefit that is associated with VA loans – 0% requirement of a down payment. It only helps you to save on the money more.
2. Higher Interest Rate
This is another undeniably prominent benefit. The interest rate on the VA loans is competitive and hence every financial institution will always be in a competition with the other one to offer a better and higher interest rate to the individuals to attract them first. The competition between the financial organizations only ends up in benefiting the veterans as you would now not only have to pay 0% down payment but will be safeguarded in terms of interest payback on the loan as well.
3. Chance To Invest In Property
This is another advantage that comes with more emotional and sentimental value than anything else. Veterans and guarded personals serve all their lives in the forces for the protection and well-being of the common men and women of the country. They sacrifice their sleep for us but at the end, after they get retired they mostly do not have sufficient money to lead a good life. This loans helps them to ensure a future that is secure and stable even after retirement. It is the only way for them to feel satisfied and calm that the future of their children and families is protected. It is a chance for the to invest in a home for themselves and the family.

I was recently working on a project where the initial mockups were all built using Twig and a light weight Silex backend, but the actual application was built in Yii2. Rather than rebuild all the UI as Yii2 views, I looked into utilising the Twig elements I already had. It was a lot easier than I hoped/imagined to integrate Twig into Yii2 and I didn't loose out on any of Yii2's powerful view features.
This is a basic introduction into how I got going using Twig in Yii2
I do a lot of development, and pretty much run everything locally using vagrant. For basic stuff http://localhost:3000 is fine, but what happens when I need lots of subdomains or multiple VM's running... here's my journey to setting up a local DNS server to handle it all.
I've been doing a lot of data clean up recently and writing quick Ruby tools that parse array's of data hashes to produce SQL statements that can be run on databases. I quite like this version of Ruby's string interpolation so thought I'd share it here in case you've not come across it
Today I had to set up a secure dropbox for some of our customers to deliver files to us via FTP over SSH. This if far more secure that any normal FTP as it takes place over an SSH tunnel. However we didn't want to just dish out SSH user accounts to anyone, so here's how I locked down the server so users could only upload/download files to their home directory
I recently had to write a little Ruby tool to correct some data on an application I've been working on. While I was able to build the tool locally easily enough, the live data resided on a server without Ruby, so I had to connect to the database via an SSH tunnel. Heres how to do it.
Hubot from Github is a great tool for both fun and automation. We trialled it along side our HipChat trial by installing it onto a free Heroku instance. To give us more flexibility when we went live we moved it to a Digital Ocean droplet along side our testing environments. Here's how it went
During a migration project where a legacy application in CakePHP was being converted into Rails, one of the main issues was supporting the existing database. The similarities on database structure between the two frameworks make this transition relatively painless, but there are a few things to watch out for. In this post I cover the ones I came across.
Just a quick note today, I had to truncate a massive list of log files and here is a quick and dirty way to do it. Typical warnings apply when using commands from the internet. Please know what you're typing into your command line.
The newly founded PHP Dorset user group had its "0th" meet up on Monday 4th November
Getting these to play nice together was proving difficult after my recent upgrade to Mavericks. Luckily I came across the solution via Tim Pope on Github

Dive Brief:
- Teachers in Long Island's Baldwin Schools have been invited to apply for funds to redesign their classroom space as a way to encourage innovation and are reinvigorating their own personal teaching styles along the way, according to The Hechinger Report.
- Ann Marie Lynam, a middle school teacher who works with students ranging from those with special needs students to the academically advanced, finds that a multifunction, mobile classroom with a variety of comfortable seating options has forced her to become more innovative in her teaching style and encourages collaborative efforts that rely more on conversation and less on technology.
- Tricia Wilder, a kindergarten teacher at a nearby school, redesigned her space with flexible seating and a "theater nook" that encourages creative play and has also added more technology to the classroom to facilitate individualized instruction.
Dive Insight:
As schools seek ways to encourage individuality, creativity, innovation and collaboration, redesigning the classroom space seems like a logical place to start. The traditional desk-in-rows format does little to promote these ideas. Many schools are now looking at flexible seating options and new classroom designs that work better with new educational approaches and the growing use of technology.
These seating options don't have to be expensive. While some furnishings, such as moveable tables and desks, may cost more money — that can often be covered by grants and fund-raising campaigns — flexible seating options for elementary grades can be as simple as using yoga or bath mats, milk crates with cushions, bean bag chairs or exercise balls. These flexible options tend to create a more comfortable environment for students to learn and help engage students more fully because they have more freedom of choice. However, there are concerns that school leaders and teachers need to consider before making this move, such as potential arguments over seating choices and how to make students more identifiable to substitute teachers.
Innovation for the sake of innovation accomplishes little. Classroom redesigns need input from teachers and even students to be most effective. Every teacher offers instruction a little differently and students have diverse needs. The beauty of a flexible classroom is that teachers have greater freedom to experiment with the environment that works best for them and for their students, becoming, in essence, their own classroom designer.

Trees in black and white
Cee's Black and White Photo Challenge: Trees
I had a bit of a hard time deciding on trees for Cees photo challenge. I have just found a few that may be of interest.
This is one of the tallest Ironbark Trees in my street. I haven't measured the tree but estimate it to be around 30meters tall. The front of my place has some big Ironbark trees like this one which was one of the attractions when I bought Durranbah.
Along the road a towards the river is some forest gums. When they shed their bark, the timber underneath is a bright orange colour. They really stand out in the forest.
Here is a close up of one of the trees.
This is looking down towards the back of my place from the house
In the gullies that run through my place are many Grass Trees. The one in front is about 100 years old. The one at the back is a youngster which was probably a small bunch on the ground when I bought Durranbah around 30 years ago.
Durranbah is the name I gave this place. It means small jumping ants in Aboriginal language.

Rihanna Comes Out on Top in Topshop T-shirt Lawsuit
August 31, 2016
Originally posted 2018-11-19 11:20:12
On Monday October 29, 2012, the United States Supreme Court heard arguments of a copyright infringement case dealing with whether or not copyrighted goods made outside the United States can be resold in the U.S. without first attaining permission from the copyright holder. The case has garnered the attention of such companies as eBay and Google, who have stated that a person should have the right to sell an item that they have purchased regardless of where it was made.
Publisher John Wiley & Songs sued Supap Kirtsaeng, a college student from Thailand, for re-selling copyrighted textbooks on eBay. He had his family members in Thailand purchase copies of textbooks that were very similar to the ones made in the U.S., but were cheaper than those sold in the U.S. The student then launched a small business and re-sold these textbooks.
Wiley's lawyer argued that the phrase, "lawfully made," found in copyright law, pertains to "lawfully made under the copyright laws of theUnited States." This means that Kirtsaeng should have asked Wiley's permission before selling the copyrighted textbooks.
The Motion Picture Association of America and Recording Industry Association of America are supporting Wiley's argument and have filed a brief that stated concerns about second-hand shops or libraries being negatively impacted were overblown since there was very little evidence backs up their claims.
Kirstaeng's lawyer argued that this interpretation of copyright law would grant too much power to copyright holders. Justice Stephen Breyer seemed to agree, stating that it would hinder people from re-selling their Toyota cars in the U.S., for example, because they are not manufactured in the U.S.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, however, seemed to side more with Wiley, stating that Kirstaeng's reading basically stated that "once a copy is sold anywhere, the copyright owner loses control of distribution everywhere."
The case is expected to be decided sometime next year.

The Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid Dispute has been fuelling polarization in the state of Uttar Pradesh along religious lines for almost more than half-a-century and rocked the state with frequent violent disturbances. It even spread to the whole of the country causing repeated religious violence threatening the very fabric of modern India. This indeed became a bane of the country since partition inflicting economic and human losses.
Owing to its sheer potential for frequently causing communal violence and bloodshed disrupting economic and social life, the dispute needs to be resolved once for all, that too, at the earliest for enabling the nation to tread its chosen path of economic development and the concomitant eradication of poverty across the country.
Of course, as a rational analysis of the problem calls for its historical background, let us look at first things first: The dispute is all about the ownership of a plot of 2.77 acres of land in the city of Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh where the Babri Masjid was constructed by General Mir Baqi in the 16th century. This very piece of land is considered by Hindus as sacred for they believe it to be the birthplace of Lord Ram, the most revered deity of Hindus. They indeed argue that the mosque was built on top of Ram temple. As against Hindus, Muslims argue that the mosque is their sacred place of prayer and Hindus desecrated it by placing idols of Lord Ram inside the mosque in 1949. Following these arguments, the gates of the mosque were locked and it thus remained shut for the next 40 years.
In 1986, during the tenure of Rajiv Gandhi as the Prime Minister, the gates were opened, of course, at the behest of the court. Within two days from the date of opening the locks, a group of Muslim lawyers filed a petition in Lucknow on February 3, 1986 praying for ordering that nothing more happens to the site. Accordingly, the court ordered for maintaining the "status quo."
Later in 1989, just before the elections, Rajiv Gandhi evinced further interest in Ayodhya issue by sending his Home Minister, Buta Singh to Ayodhya to participate in a "shilanyas"—the symbolic temple foundation-laying ceremony. All this obviously escalated the dispute from a local issue to a national one—indeed placed the Hindus and Muslims on a collision course.
Finally, this collision ended up in the demolition of the Mosque by the participants of a rally that assembled at the premises on December 6, 1992. This stirred up communal riots across the major cities of north India. Notably, the Hindu-Muslim riots of Mumbai, the financial capital of India, caused 900 deaths and damaged properties running into thousands of crores.
Immediately after the demolition of the mosque, a makeshift temple to Ram Lalla, was built by Hindu activists. In the meanwhile, a new law was enacted by the Government of India to acquire a large area of land in Ayodhya that included the site where the mosque stood. It also set aside all the suits that claimed title to the site, but allowed Hindu worship to continue there. Simultaneously, a presidential reference was made to the Supreme Court: Did a "Hindu temple or any Hindu religious structure" exist where the mosque had been built in 1528?
The legality of this enactment and the Presidential reference were challenged by Muslim representatives stating that the government cannot acquire a holy site. The Supreme Court, by a majority decision, upheld the law acquiring the land, but declined to answer the question— Did a "Hindu temple or any Hindu religious structure" exist where the mosque had been built in 1528?—in the presidential reference, saying it was "superfluous and unnecessary". Finally, law suits relating to property were transferred to the High Court in Lucknow from Faizabad.
In September 2010, a three-judge bench of Allahabad High Court, setting aside a lower court's order, allocated two-thirds of the disputed site to Hindu groups, with the remainder going to Muslims. It also gave a ruling—obviously, based on a 272-page report submitted by the ASI which summarized its findings as: "indicative of remains which are distinctive features found associated with the temples of north India"—that the disputed spot was Hindu God Ram's birthplace, that the mosque had been built after the demolition of a temple and that the mosque was not built in accordance with the tenets of Islam. But both parties appealed against the order in the Supreme Court.
Now, it is at the request of BJP MP Subramanian Swamy to constitute a bench to expedite the disposal of petitions filed challenging the judgment of Allahabad High Court order that the Supreme Court, observing that "These are issues of religion and sentiments", suggested on March 21: "These are issues where all the parties can sit together and arrive at a consensual decision to end the dispute." The Court, volunteering to mediate, if required, between the negotiators, directed the petitioner to inform the court about the outcome on March 31.
And thus, we are back to square one, for nine such attempts at arriving at an out-of-court settlement failed earlier. Although a solution for such a dispute of religious nature has to necessarily emerge from a perspective of generosity and a spirit of accommodation, there appears to be no such possibility, for warring groups are already airing their opinions in a belligerent tone.
In the light of this reality, the Court that has earlier stayed the High Court's decree may have to expedite its hearing and give its verdict on the findings of the lower court and the merits of the appeal. For, it is apparent that negotiations over such strongly held religious passions would only vitiate the atmosphere further, and hence needs to be settled once for all by the Court alone. And sooner the better, for the aspirational India does not want to be pulled down by religious disputes any longer!

I plan to have my independent clay students keep a blog about their quarter's experience in clay. I suspect some of them will not be thrilled about the writing element in a clay class, but I have a background in writing as well as art and I think that an essential skill for an artist (or anybody) is to be able to talk intelligently about their work.
One of the things I have noticed about keeping this blog regularly--even for the short amount of time I have been keeping it regularly--is how helpful the writing process is for how I think about my work. As my mother likes to remind me, "writing is a generative process."
As I sit down to write, I don't have a fully formulated plan. I keep a notebook handy in the studio and jot down a few ideas as they come to me. When I sit down to write, I pick the most interesting or promising idea and start to write about it. I often don't know where I am headed when I begin to write. A few times I have found myself on a tangent or in a slightly different place that where I expected to be when I began writing. A few times I have made a connection in writing that I hadn't really thought about before writing it down.
The fact that I end up writing something I wasn't expecting when I started is what makes the whole process interesting. Keeping the blog has reminded me of sharing a studio in college. Obviously one doesn't script a whole conversation ahead of time. Conversations with a studio-mate or conversations in a more formal critique move you from one understanding to another. In some ways having a conversation with a blog is like talking to a very neutral studio-mate.
I also like Blogger's save and edit features. I try to step away from my blog before posting it because, as is happening right now, I might get distracted in the middle of writing. I can get the basic ideas down and return later (say, when my daughter isn't trying to talk to me about her owies) and read the post through to be sure that I didn't muddle my phrasing.
But a blog also doesn't require formality expected in a classroom setting or an artist's statement. Blog authors can use slang and incomplete sentences as it suits their style, just as long as it makes sense. One of my favorite examples of this relaxed (and funny) style of writing is the Books I Done Read blog.
Another advantage of a blog is that the writing can be sparse and the images plentiful. The Larson Gallery Guild blog uses a lot of images combined with writing (and the images and writing come from a variety of sources). Other artists' blogs use almost no writing and focus entirely on images of work. One of my favorite blogs that relies heavily on images hasn't been updated recently, but Hyperbole and a Half has excellent stuff if you search past posts.
I believe that keeping a blog will force my independent students to formulate more thoughtful ideas about their work. I hope that it will also encourage discussions between the independent students. Of course it will allow me insight into what students are doing, thinking and talking about.
My independent students keep different studio hours or work outside of the studio. I can force conversations by holding a required critique, but the discussions end up being somewhat formal and are hard to schedule.
Of course I also like the idea of having students present their work regularly and perhaps even interact with people who are not in the class. Several local artists keep blogs of their work. Fostering a discussion or connection between students and artists could be a good experience for all.

Rory McIlroy enjoyed a practice round at Royal Portrush ahead of the 148th Open, with one small exception.
McIlroy, who set the course record of 61 at Portrush as a 16-year-old, appeared to suffer an insect bite on the 13th hole on Tuesday.
The four-time major winner asked caddie Harry Diamond to examine his back and there looked to be a small red blemish.
However, McIlroy showed no ill effects and completed the full round shortly before 7pm.
Diamond explained afterwards: "It was just a small mosquito or something. We didn't have any cream but he took an anti-histamine."
McIlroy also played down the severity of the incident, joking later: "It's itchy but fine."

|Choosing Life – from Henri Nouwen's Bread for the Journey
God says, "I am offering you life or death, blessing or curse. Choose life, then, so that you and your descendants may live" (Deuteronomy 30:19).
"Choose life." That's God's call for us, and there is not a moment in which we do not have to make that choice. Life and death are always before us. In our imaginations, our thoughts, our words, our gestures, our actions … even in our nonactions. This choice for life starts in a deep interior place. Underneath very life-affirming behaviour I can still harbour death-thoughts and death-feelings. The most important question is not "Do I kill?" but "Do I carry a blessing in my heart or a curse?" The bullet that kills is only the final instrument of the hatred that began being nurtured in the heart long before the gun was picked up.
For further reflection…
"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword." – Matthew 26: 52 (NIV)

It's hard to beat a delicious, brimming burrito. But delicious burritos that keep well in the freezer might do just that. These "freezer burritos" are stuffed full of crisp-tender shoestring sweet potatoes, fresh tomato-corn salsa, beans, and, of course, cheddar cheese. To make the sweet potatoes you'll peel them, grate them on the large holes of a box grater, and roast them on sheet trays. Don't skip the parchment paper, otherwise they'll stick to the tray. Make sure all of the ingredients are thoroughly cooled before you roll them up to prevent burritos that get soggy in the freezer.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss sweet potatoes with oil, chili powder, and ¾ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Spread out on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Roast, stirring halfway through, until most potatoes are browned at the tips, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely.
Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, onion, corn, cilantro, lime juice, and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside for 15 minutes. Strain, discarding any liquid that has accumulated.
Toss beans with remaining ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
Divide beans, cheese, corn salsa, and sweet potatoes evenly among tortillas. Roll into burritos, wrap each separately in foil, and freeze in a single layer. Freeze for up to 3 months. To heat, remove foil, wrap each burrito in a paper towel, and microwave on high until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
