Diane Duprey, a retired social studies teacher now President Southeastern Council for the Social Studies, has created her own Path Through History. It includes many of the elements I've been advocating a path should include. It features multiple activities and sites including talks, walks, tours, and a cruise – a traditional favorite all combined in a multi-day program with lodging before the summer rates kick in.
Henry Knoxs Noble Train at Fort Ticonderoga
"Visitors to the 'The Noble Train Begins' living history event will meet Henry Knox, the unassuming Boston book seller whose physical and mental might was first tested with the epic feat of moving more than 14 mortars, 43 cannon, and other artillery to Boston in the winter of 1776," said Stuart Lilie, Fort Ticonderoga's Director of Interpretation. "See man and horse power in action as the artillery is selected for the journey. Meet the soldiers left to guard this frontier outpost as the first winter of the Revolutionary War takes hold."

Dolly Sloan and The Lawrence Strike Children in NY
Artist John Sloan is better known but his wife Dolly was a tireless campaigner for causes in the Village. Sloan's diaries are full of vignettes describing her buzzing off to demonstrations for the Socialist Party, the International Workers of the World (IWW), and Suffrage. He seems to be following her, and soaking up the atmosphere, more than out there professing his beliefs.
However, Sloan supported votes for women and rights for workers, and drew illustrations for such left wing publications as The Call. Read more
Abby Kelley Foster Inducted into Halls of Fame
Born in Pelham, MA January 15, 1811 Kelley was raised a Quaker and became a teacher at the Friends School in Lynn MA in 1829. In 1832, when she lived in Worcester, she was influenced by a speech from radical abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. She joined the Lynn Female Anti-Slavery Society, and in 1837, she, and others, gathered over six thousand signatures on anti-slavery petitions.
The Lynn Female Society named her a delegate to the first national Anti-Slavery Convention of American Women in New York City. The following year, at the second Anti-Slavery Convention of American Women, Abby Kelley gave her first speech against slavery with a mob threatening to burn down Pennsylvania Hall.
Abby and fellow radical abolitionist Stephen Foster married in 1845 and bought a farm in Worcester MA. Abby gave birth to their daughter, Alla, in 1847. Kelley faced hostile audiences from within and from outside the abolition movement in her five decades of advocating for immediate abolition of slavery and for advocating leaving churches that did not condemn slavery.
At 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 22, Stacey Robertson PhD. will present Abby Kelley Foster: A Radical Voice in the West, the first program in the annual afternoon Upstate Institute Inductee Symposia. Robertson states, "Abby Kelley Foster single handedly transformed the nature of the western antislavery movement in the 1840s. From her first visit in the summer of 1845 she inspired hundreds of abolitionists to reconsider their approach to the movement and embrace a more uncompromising position. Women found her irresistible and she helped to organize dozens of female anti-slavery societies in Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. She also convinced several women to join her in the lecturing field, devoting themselves full-time to the movement. No other person impacted western antislavery more than Abby Kelley Foster."
Dr. Robertson is the Oglesby Professor of American Heritage and the Director of the Women's Studies Program at Bradley University (Peoria IL) where she has taught since 1994. She is the author of three books:
The Worcester Women's History Project (
The public is encouraged to attend the Foster sessions. Admission at the door for each of the lectures and the induction ceremony is five dollars. (Admission for all four symposia programs is eight dollars.) Information and registration forms for the day-long induction event are available at

Exhibit: Black Patriots at the Battles of Saratoga
In the American Revolution, about 5 percent of the Continental Soldiers were of African descent. They fought shoulder to shoulder with white soldiers—but an integrated army would not occur again until the Korean War. That's just scratching the surface of the information to be presented by Park Ranger Eric Schnitzer as he discusses evidence from memoirs, journals, muster rolls, and pay lists that documents
the roles of free and enslaved African Americans who fought in "the most important battle of the last 1000 years."
Agrippa Hull, a black Revolutionary War soldier who served in the 1777 Battles of Saratoga, is the focus of a special exhibit titled "Agrippa Hull: ordinary soldier, extraordinary man." Copies of Hull's 1777 company muster roll, pension claims, portrait, and photographs of him and his wife Peggy will be on display in the visitor center in February.
Saratoga National Historical Park is located between Rt. 4 and Rt. 32 in the Town of Stillwater, NY. For more information, please contact the visitor center by calling 518-664-9821 ext. 224 or check their
Illustration: Portrait of Agrippa Hull, a freeborn black man and Revolutionary War veteran who lived in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. The portrait hangs in the historical room of the town library. Hull was 85 years old when his image was captured. Painted in oil in 1848 by an unknown artist, the portrait is a copy of a daguerreotype done by Anson Clark in 1844.

Well last week was all about slowly getting back into our normal routine. Stephen went back to school on Monday and Tom went back to school on Wednesday.
I've really enjoyed the two-week holiday, but it's now time to get back into our old routine and, to be honest, it'll be good for all of us.
I like the routine of school, the same-ness that it brings to Tom and how it helps him with his anxieties. Tom thrives on routine, and although this week will be tricky for him after a two-week break, especially with Andrew having been home, I know he'll soon settle and the holidays will soon feel like a fond and distant memory.
However, on Tom's last day off school we had a good morning out in town, doing all our usual stuff.
Once home I managed to take all the decorations down, with Tom sat watching me, and surprisingly he was fine about it.
I wanted him to see all of the decorations go, rather than him waking up in the morning to a completely different looking living room, with no Christmas tree.
He even waved goodbye to the Christmas tree, as I hauled it outside, and said stoically, "See you next Christmas, bye bye".
The highlight though for Tom, I think, was getting Henry the Hoover out and him talking to him while I vacuumed up all the pine needles. There were a lot of them!
I feel a bit more relaxed now though that the decorations are down, and I feel we can all get back to normal after a fun two weeks.
As ever though, the house feels very quiet without the boys. But this does mean that once again I can listen to my music, so it's not all bad!
Let's see what this term brings.
Hopefully Tom will be OK and not too distressed about being back. I have all my fingers and toes crossed.

Join NCUF's 2013 Financial Ed Campaign
Earlier this year the National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF) and the Texas Credit Union Foundation (TCUF) piloted a new initiative entitled "Credit Unions Support Financial Education: Leading the Way to Financial Freedom" in partnership with a few other state credit union foundations to raise awareness of financial education and also raise funds for NCUF and the state credit union foundations.
The pilot was a success and the campaign will be broadened for next year, inviting all credit unions and leagues to participate. Member credit unions are encouraged to participate in next year's campaign taking place in April, which is also National Financial Literacy Month. The early mention will give every one enough time to plan appropriately for a successful campaign.
In order to join in this initiative, credit unions must commit to either (or both) of the following activities to fundraise among staff and members:
- Holding a "Financially Fit Day" on 4/3/13
- Fundraising throughout the month of April
"Financially Fit Day" & Fundraising
The campaign will kick off on Wednesday, April 3, "Financially Fit Day". The idea is that there is one dedicated day for credit unions and their members to become Financially Fit! Credit union staff are also highly encouraged to ask members to support financial education with a monetary contribution. Credit unions can become financially fit by participating in various FUNdraising activities on April 3 or throughout the month. Additional FUNdraising ideas are included in a toolkit at financialeducation.coop, the website created for this initiative. Also included on the website are optional pledge forms and other campaign resources such as sample newsletter articles for credit unions, sticker and wall pin-up templates, a sample flyer and statement stuffer, web buttons, and more.

Ravi Bopara couldn't believe he had been dropped from the England side earlier this year and even thought it might have been a prank.
Bopara didn't feature in the one-day series against India at the end of the summer and in an exclusive interview with GiveMeSport he reveals his disappointment at not being involved.
"It was tough to take, I didn't expect it at the time, it was just a bit weird," he explained. "It hit me with a massive surprise when I got the phone call, I was like no, someone is playing with me here."
But the Essex all-rounder is back in the squad to tour Sri-Lanka and could play in the first ODI next week. He explained how he overcame the initial frustration and his desperate desire to prove the England hierarchy wrong.
"You take it on the chin, eventually it sinks in and you just think, what have I got to do to get back in.

"What gets you back in is putting runs on the board and showing the selectors you were wrong to make that decision, I should be in your side, I want to play for England and pick me."
World Cup hopes
Bopara will be hoping he can make a good impression in the upcoming series so he can stake a claim to be in the squad that goes to the World Cup next year, but believes good preparation is essential for any success.
"You have still got to try and win every game in those four years that lead up to a World Cup, it's not like those series that you play are not important.
"It would be great to win it (the World Cup). It would be a different feeling if you do and you're holding the trophy.
"But you've still got to see it as a series and go from game-to-game"
India are the current holders of a competition England have never won and haven't reached the final of for 22 years, so a good series against Sri Lanka will be required if that run is to come to an end.

'Groomed by my social worker': Chilling memoir of a child's betrayal at the hands of a man who was supposed to be taking care of her
- Marni Mulholland, 42, opens up about the horrific abuse she suffered at 14
- In her memoir, Raw, she describes being abused by her social worker
- His grooming led to her becoming a prostitute at just 16
- 'I want to shout from the rooftops how terrible grooming is,' she says
When young people are taken into care, the hope is that they will be protected by the system.
Sadly, we already know there are children who are catastrophically failed by this safety net, ending up in even more toxic situations than the ones they were plucked from.
For Marni Mulholland, from London, a life in care was far from a safe haven.
Victim: Marni Mulholland (not her real name), pictured here, is now 42. She is sharing the story of how she was raped and groomed into prostitution, in the hope that is will raise awareness
When she was sent to a children's home, she claims she was routinely abused and raped by a man everyone else trusted - a social worker.
After years of sexual abuse at the hands of Matthew [all names have been changed to protect identities], Marni eventually turned to prostitution in her late teens.
Now, 20 years on, she has decided to come forward about her past in an honest - and at times distressing - memoir, in the hope of raising awareness about child grooming.
'I started a diary about what happened a couple of years ago, and that eventually turned into the book,' Marni tells MailOnline.
'Leading a quiet life would be far less painful but I feel compelled to talk about this. It's still very hard for me because it is still very much on the surface.
'But I want to lift the lid about child grooming and the abuse I suffered in the children's home.'
Marni grew up on a tough council estate in West London, where she says she was victimised by other girls.
By the time she was 14, her mother had suffered several mental episodes (she was later diagnosed with schizophrenia) and was unable to look after her, so Marni was sent to a children's home.
BX1RG6 Child abduction
The home was meant to be a safe place for the young girl. And at first it was.
But then a social worker in his 30s began plying her with gifts and showering her with attention, gaining Marni's trust, a tactic she now refers to as 'slow-burning grooming.'
Within months Marni had formed a strong attachment to Matthew and consented to having sex with him. At the time, she saw nothing wrong with their 20-year age gap and the fact she was just 14.
'Matthew and the other social workers worked in shifts, often staying the night,' Marni explains.
'I don't think anyone had any idea what was going on. I didn't tell them because I was ashamed and I didn't think I'd be believed anyway. I don't think they had any inkling at all.'
Courage: Marni says talking about her horrific past is difficult, but if she can help just one girl who is being abused, then it will make her happy
Marni says their sexual relationship continued for years. They would have sex in Matthew's office, his home, in public toilets and at the children's home. All the while, Matthew gave Marni presents and cash in return for her body.
Marni was re-housed and given her own council flat at the age of 18. She went to art college, but by this point, she had already begun prostituting herself.
She describes in the book how sex for money felt normal for her, even though she knew on some level that it was very wrong.
'I was so ashamed so never told anyone or made friends,' she says. 'I've been ashamed all my life. It's only very recently I've been able to talk about it.'
However, by the time she was '19 or 20,' Marni started to realise that the life she was living was far from normal.
'I was having very dysfunctional relationships, I was promiscuous,' she says. 'I realised my problem was Matthew. And I realised it was wrong.
'When you're an adult you realise that isn't right. I was older and wiser. One day, when I was around 19 or 20, I found the courage to go into the police and tell them about it but it took a long time to get to that stage.'
Raw is out now, £6.99 by Ebury Press
She made her complaint in 1990, when she was and the process dragged on for 'around' three years, according to Marni, who has difficulty remembering specific dates.
Marni eventually decided to withdraw her complaint in 1993 as reliving her past proved too painful.
'It's very hard to sit there and relive your experiences to a complete stranger,' she says.
'You have to remember the day, the week, the weather. It's so difficult and you can see why often court cases collapse.
'You see why the victim is so frustrated. It's like being abused all over again. People who come forward now are very brave.
Marni's allegations against Matthew were never heard in court, and he was never convicted.
At around that time, she was moving in moneyed circles in Chelsea and Sloane Square, still a prostitute and taking drugs and drinking heavily.
It wasn't until she met Josh, now her husband, in 2001, that she was able to break her unhealthy patterns of behaviour.
She credits Josh for helping her rebuild her life.
'When I told him about my past he was very understanding,' she says. 'He's very strong and grounded.
'He says he loves me for what I am, tells me that my past isn't my fault and he gives me a lot of strength.
'If I saw Matthew now I'd think he was a sad old man. I see him as weak. I have the strength and power now and I wouldn't be afraid of him, I don't live in fear anymore because I think he's pathetic.
'It took time to build my life up. It's like an invisible tattoo or a scar – it never heals. But time helps. My life now is happy. I'm in a very good place. I have a loving family and a network of supportive, understanding friends.'
Marni married Josh in 2002, and their first child, a daughter, was born the same year.
In 2005, they had a son and, in 2007, left London for the west of England, where the family still lives.
Now Marni wants to share her story so she can help other girls who are being abused and groomed.
'I want to shout from the rooftops how terrible grooming is and how damaging it can be,' she says.
'It's calculated and slow-burning and evil and it can muck up your whole life if you let it. If there is just one 14-year-old out there that I can help, I will be happy.
'Being abused never goes away, you just find a way to cope with it,' she says. 'It's always there, but I won't let him win. I'm strong now.'
Raw by Marni Mulholland is published in paperback by Ebury Press, £6.99. All names have been changed for legal reasons and to protect identities

The last year of my life has been full of turmoil, relief, love, uncertainty and letting go.
The most consistent, what I know will always be, my boys. The unconditional love they have for me and the unstoppable love I have for them. I understand, that's more than what a lot of people have, but, I still yearn for peace, security and love. I love love. I love loving, I love being loved, who doesn't?
This is my journey. I will find my place. I will be grounded. There will be love and loads of it. Because, I am great at love! Who knows when my journey will end…

Many travelers may come to Cambodia solely to visit the temples of Angkor Wat, but there's more to Siem Reap – the gateway to the Angkor temples – than the Angkor temples they lead to.
Over a million tourists a year pass through Siem Reap, making it the fastest growing place in Cambodia outside of Phnom Penh, the capital city. With a history dating all the way back to the year 802, visiting Siem Reap is a highlight for many people traveling through Southeast Asia… with a wealth of activities and attractions that go far beyond the ancient ruins down the road.

Take a Day (or Three) to Explore the Angkor Temples
Despite so many other things to do in Siem Reap, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angkor Wat is still the primary draw for tourists. Constructed in the 12th century by the Khmer people working under Jayavarman II, the temples of Angkor Wat must be seen to be believed.
Scores of temples - some restored and some still overgrown with jungle vines - make up the Angkor temple complex, which is about four miles north of Siem Reap. (Many travelers staying at one of the hostels or hotels around Siem Reap simply hire a tuk-tuk to take them around the temple complex.)
The scale of Angkor Wat is overwhelming; while a one-day pass is enough to reveal the highlights, you can buy a three- or even a seven-day pass to explore the Angkor temples in microscopic detail.

Wing it at the Prek Toal Bird Sanctuary
The 31,000-hectare Prek Toal Bird Sanctuary has become one of the most important breeding grounds for endangered water birds in Southeast Asia. Located in the marshes of Tonle Sap Lake around Battambang province, this bird sanctuary provides a chance to tour by boat and see rare large waterfowl outside of captivity – storks, ibis, pelicans and much, much more.
Travelers who come between the dry months of December and March see untold thousands of local and migratory birds fishing and mating in Prek Toal's waters. If this is your kind of nature experience, make arrangements to visit Prek Toal through your guest house, or hire a boat from Phnom Krom/Chong Khneas boat dock.
You'll be dropped off at the Prek Toal Environmental Research Station, where you can pick up more information about the area's wildlife and plant life, or book a boat tour of the sanctuary. You can even book an overnight stay at the Station – all the better to see the area's "fowl" play after dark!

See the Ruin of War at the Land Mine Museum
The Khmer Rouge in 1975 and the Vietnamese occupation in 1979 contributed to Siem Reap's tumultuous, war-torn past. Siem Reap did not begin to stabilize and become safe enough for tourists to visit until the 1990s.
Unfortunately, millions of land mines and unexploded objects were left behind by decades of conflict. The many legless beggars in town are a living testament to how dangerous these artifacts still are in the present day.
The Cambodia Land Mine Museum was founded by a former child soldier whose parents were killed by the Khmer Rouge; in the present day, it's staffed by victims and orphans of mines. Although sobering, the Land Mine Museum is a real piece of Cambodia away from the tourism glam.
Visitors are charged to enter; the funds support a relief center and school attached to the museum. Tours can be booked on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9 am to 3 pm, in English and Japanese.

Empty a Magazine at the Military Shooting Range
Watched one too many action movies and want to give it a try? Forty minutes from Siem Reap, tourists may shoot an array of automatic weapons at an old military shooting range.
The prices are not cheap but where else will you have the opportunity to fire an AK-47 or throw a live hand grenade?
Retired soldiers supervise the range and continuously harass you to try the latest and greatest in firepower, including belt-fed machine guns. Those with enough money and guts are even invited to fire an old, soviet-made rocket launcher!
The range can be found along Road 67 to Banteay Srey (look up their location on Google Maps).Continue to 5 of 10 below.

Wander Through the Angkor National Museum
Opened in 2007, the Angkor National Museum houses thousands of artifacts recovered from Angkor Wat and the surrounding areas in an impressive building.
Relics from the ancient Angkor Empire – including over 6,000 lintels, assorted statues of Hindu gods, Buddhist bodhisattvas and sandstone reliefs – tell the fascinating story of the Angkor Empire's beginnings and eventual downfall.
Visit the museum before you check out Angkor Wat and its surrounding temples, and you'll visit the latter with significantly more insight into the culture that brought it into existence!
To get the most out of your visit, rent a portable media player (available at the entrance) so you can get an audio explanation of some of the more obscure items on display. When you're done, stop by the 86,000 square foot duty-free mall to take back a little part of Angkor with you.

See Authentic Village Life at Kampong Phluk
About 13 miles from Siem Reap, Kampong Phluk is a fishing village constructed on stilts in the swamps around Tonle Sap Lake, the largest lake in Cambodia.
Only a handful of tourists makes the journey by boat or bus to Kampong Phluk, which has helped the village retain much of its authenticity. This is the place to go to see daily Khmer life away from the influence of heavy tourism; come on any regular day, but try to schedule your visit to coincide with the Cambodia festival calendar.
Read about etiquette in Cambodia to enhance your visit to Kampong Phluk.

Shudder at the Cruelty of Wat Thmei
Siem Reap suffered horribly under the Khmer Rouge, and the area's victims are commemorated today in this monastery.
A glass-walled stupa on the premises holds a mass of bones belonging to massacre victims. Like its counterpart Tuol Sleng in Phnom Penh, Wat Thmei provides a stark reminder of the insanity that ruled Cambodia in the 1970s.
It's not all bones and death here, though; the large monastery here houses a good number of monks and orphans under their care. (Wat Thmei is not part of Siem Reap's unfortunate orphanage tourism circuit – for more on why you shouldn't patronize the area's orphanages, read this: Orphanages in Cambodia are Not Tourist Attractions.)
Wat Thmei can be found about 540 yards west of Angkor Wat, on the left fork on the way out.

Take in a Show at the Phare Circus
Founded by eight Battambang performers, Phare Ponleu Selpak (PPS) operates a Big-Top-style extravaganza near the Angkor National Museum, interpreting Cambodian culture through a raucous blend of comedy, dance, and acrobatics reminiscent of Cirque d' Soleil.
Despite its modern look, Phare Circus taps deep into a historic Khmer tradition of acrobatics, making this fun romp just as authentically Khmer as the apsara dance. Any speaking parts are performed in the Khmer language, though subtitles in three languages are projected on a screen to help the narrative along.
Performing at the Phare Circus comes as a dream come true for many PPS students, who train for years before getting a shot at the stage. For tickets and show information, visit the Phare official site.Continue to 9 of 10 below.

Buy Souvenirs at the Old Market
The riverside Psah Chas, or Old Market, combines shopping for tourists and locals alike. The half of the market bordering the riverside stocks tourist tchotchkes from floor to ceiling – silverworks, T-shirts, brass sculptures, jewelry, handbags, and art.
A whole arcade sells pearls, gold, and silver, though the buyer should beware when browsing through the valuables in this part of the market.
The other half of the market caters to locals, most especially in the "wet market" that bisects the Psah Chas complex at its center. From this smelly, humid market, locals haggle for raw meat, vegetables, and processed food products. Tourists with an interest in Khmer day-to-day life can visit this part of the market and watch the wives banter and buy.

Party or Shop After Dark at the Pub Street & Night Market
After dark, it's less about the authenticity and more about getting soused: thus the draw of Pub Street and the neighboring Night Market for Siem Reap's tippling visitors. Drink an Angkor Beer (or a good number of decent Southeast Asian beers, for that matter) at one of the many neon-lit bars down this pedestrianized corner of the city.
The best place to start: the graffiti-covered Angkor What? the bar that launched Pub Street into the Siem Reap stratosphere when it opened in 1998. It's incredible energy, cheap drinks and late, late hours keep it a Pub Street mainstay for both long-timers and newcomers alike.
The Night Market across Sivatha Street from Pub Street offers some neat bargains, from Kampot peppers to obscenely-carved ashtrays to counterfeit branded clothing. The warmly-lit Khmer hut-styled stalls make shopping at the Night Market almost pleasurable.

This week, Robert DeFelice, Gabby Velasquez and Ben Guest will be giving their opinions on the fallout following WWE's 2017 Money in the Bank extravaganza.
WWE provided a wild and controversial pay-per-view with Money in the Bank 2017. We have a new Mr. Money In the Bank in Baron Corbin, controversy reigning in the Women's Division, and are still residing in the era of the Maharaja!
Question 1: Do you feel that the first female Money in the Bank Ladder Match was tainted by Ellsworth's interference?
DeFELICE: This is a really tough one for me. I see both sides. On the one hand, it was a really devious thing and a good move for Carmella. On the other hand, it totally crapped all over the supposed historic match. WWE wasted little time rectifying the situation by booking a rematch for next week's television show with James banned from ringside.
How they handle the situation next week is crucial to whether or not this is remembered as a big flop or not. I definitely think the girls will outwork their pay per view match next week, but it's all in the result and making sure the viewer doesn't feel like they have wasted their time. I hope they pull it together and I hope the girls deliver something extra special because in all sincerity I was underwhelmed with the ladder match at the pay per view, but I'll chalk that up to overexposure of the gimmick match itself.
VELASQUEZ: Yes. Absolutely yes. Here's the thing: the follow-up to the match has been just fine. Carmella and Becky Lynch, in particular, have done fantastic work in the wake of the controversy. But even if you factor that in, I just cannot see any way to excuse having the first Money in the Bank Women's match be "won" by a man. I don't care how much heat it got Carmella, nor did I need to have half of my Twitter timeline try to explain the concept of heat to me after I posted my displeasure. WWE built the match up as a historic moment for women. The video promo they aired right before it built it up as historic. And then what happens?
The women get half the time as the men and James Ellsworth literally drops the briefcase into Carmella's hands. She didn't even have any agency in her own victory.
I don't care how good of a story it is. That was supposed to be the women's moment, and they took it away. I've been dreaming of seeing that happen since I was a little girl, and that was the ending I got. There were other ways for Carmella to cheat and win using Ellsworth. Better ways.
A story is not more important than what that moment represented for women. It's just not.
GUEST: I, personally, loved how the match ended and thought it gave both Carmella and Ellsworth a lot of heat, as well as building their characters. However, I agree that the simple change of having Carmella tell Ellsworth to get the briefcase would give her even more heat, and make the ending that little bit better. As for it having to be about women, I agree that this ending could easily have happened in the future to allow for a strong, woman led match, but I don't think it took away too much that the rematch can't make up for. I really like Carmella having the briefcase and hope she wins it again in the rematch, maybe this time on her own, though.
Question 2: What was your biggest takeaway from the male Money in the Bank Ladder Match? Are you happy with Baron Corbin's victory?
VELASQUEZ: My biggest takeaway is that Baron Corbin robbed me of seeing Shinsuke Nakamura's entrance live. I was at the show, and boy, let me just say that everyone died a little when Nakamura's music cut off.
Okay, I'm kidding, I'll tell you right now what stole the ENTIRE show, and that is AJ and Shinsuke. I lost my voice screaming from my seats when they pushed that ladder aside. The history between those two and the long-term storytelling possibilities are endless. The moment was incredible, unforgettable. And it shows that WWE DOES know how very badly we want to see these two familiar foes collide.
GUEST: Baron Corbin was the best person to win, he needs that little something to push him into the main event, and a solid 3-5 month term as Mr Money in the Bank could do just that. As for the biggest takeaway, AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura. PLEASE!
DeFELICE: I'm absolutely satisfied. I picked Corbin to win the whole thing to begin with and I couldn't have been happier with the way things turned out. That being said, I think everybody's biggest takeaway was the staredown between Shinsuke and Styles and the realization of just how special that matchup will be when it takes place at a major event.
On the other end of that, you have the sad fact that the other half of lineup pretty much comes across as though they were a waste of time. That's the problem with these kinds of matchups there is truly only one winner unless somebody can stand out the way that AJ and Shinsuke did. That's one of the reasons I think it would be better to have this match at WrestleMania, The setting alone would allow for a much more memorable event rather than waiting all night for a less than memorable although exciting massive car crash type of match.
Question 3: Rumor has it that Jinder will have one last match with Randy Orton, only this time it will be inside a Punjabi Prison. How do you feel about this rumored match-up?
GUEST: I don't mind Jinder Mahal as champ, I've kind of enjoyed his reign and the production value that's gone into it has only made it better. If there is a rematch I assume Mahal will win, but if you're putting a gimmick on it, just make it a normal steel cage or something like that.
DeFELICE: I am likely in the minority in that I have actually enjoyed this match typed the previous two times it occurred. they were nothing to write home about but it's always exciting to see something fresh and a match like this hasn't been seen in a long time. Also, we have an easy story to play with seeing as Randy needs to keep the interference from the Singh Brothers away from what would presumably be the final encounter with Jinder Mahal. Also, I would like to see what two non super heavyweights can do in this kind of match and I think that both of these guys are motivated enough to pull off something special should this match actually take place.
That being said, I am ready to see what is beyond this rivalry with Randy for Jinder Mahal. He's worked hard and I like the momentum he's on and the difference that he brings to the main event scene and I'm only looking forward to bigger things from here, my guess would be John Cena but we will have to see.
VELASQUEZ: Did you know that Jinder Mahal is Indian? Yeah. What a heel.
I think Jinder has been booked incredibly as a heel champion, if you ignore how he was booked until he became champion. He has a wonderful antagonistic energy in the ring that almost makes up for how average is in-ring work feels to me. That being said, despite my annoyance with the whole "JINDER IS FOREIGN THEREFORE HE IS HEEL" thing, the Punjabi Prison gimmick is, independent of the whole "foreign heel" thing, a cool concept. And frankly, these two need a gimmick match to keep their feud remotely interesting.
I do have to wonder, though, where Jinder will be on the card six months from now. He's got momentum on his side. I hope he is not forgotten.
Those are our thoughts on the issue, but where do you stand?

There is a profusion of colourful flowers (very different from our garden - no profusion there as yet!)
A smallish but perfectly formed veg patch and a greenhouse that turns Rollercoaster Dad green with envy - as does the height of the Runner Beans - it's like Jack and the Beanstalk!
Some of my favourite flowers are the fuchsias - so like little ballerinas.
And these candy striped Phlox - the furled buds look like little ice-cream cones.
The Hydrangea flowers are all enormous and I love the ones with the lacy edges.
This Allium seed head is pretty impressive too.
But no doubt peace has now returned and the fountain will be burbling quietly to the fish once more...
Do I have garden envy? - just a tad!
Linking up with How Does my Garden Grow as usual which is hosted by the lovely Helvetia Handmade this week as Mammasaurus is gadding about on a holiday (really - how could she!!) Do go over and pay her a visit to see all those other lovely gardens.

I'm honored to be part of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks from today's top designers, Vol. 6! This publication is so much fun, filled to the brim with lovely quilt blocks.
My quilt block is called Smoky Mountains
This quilt block is inspired by the colors of a Smoky Mountain winter morning. . . the black of the tree trunks in the distance, the brown of trees close-by, the blue of the sky and the violet of the distant mountains.
To give the quilt depth and interest, I used a light, medium and dark of each color, using my gradated Serendipity fabric line for Troy's Riverwood Collection.
The block lends itself to beautiful quilts when placed side by side.
By rotating the blocks, a different look is created.
As a special Quilty Treat, follow the 100 Blocks Blog Tour daily from November 5 – 9 at The Quiltmaker Blog Quilty Pleasures for inspiration, ideas and giveaways galore!
Congratulations to Barbara Corbitt of Kentucky!
She is the winner of the Quiltmaker 100 Blocks, Vol 6!

hello world!!
Hi all
Im from argentina, im new into mining
nice soft:)
im sorry to have so many questions:)
Why i cant mine if i dont have any burst?
How profitable can it be to have a 1 tb disk?
can i use a freenas network share to get the plot, or is it too slow and is beter to make a plugin
into the freenas server?
is it going to consume all the server cpu so i cant get a video from my mediaserver?
Thanks in advance
@razzor Welcome to the community.
Use the faucets to get burst - eg: https://faucet.bustcoing.info . If you have aproblem with the faucet, post your address here and someone will help you out.
a FreeNas server will work, but direct attached storage is preferred due to speed.
The CPU is heavily utilized when plotting, but when mining it's seconds every 4 minutes or so. You'll probably notice CPU impact when plotting, but not while mining.

@razzor said in hello world!!:
How profitable can it be to have a 1 tb disk?
you are fast thanks
I use the faucet to change my name but it ask me for some more to change the adress of the server
This is my adress if someone can help me with a burst so i can start mining
im gona try the netwok storage to test if i can make it work
but if i make it into the server the plot is made just one time isnt it?
so the cpu consuming process is one time and then i can see movies while farming with extra capacity
by the way the link of the faucet its not working
well i been a couple of hours looking for a working faucet with no results, please can anybody deposit me 1 burst and y send you 4 on my first paiment:)
vaxman last edited by
@razzor said in hello world!!:
sent some.
thanks promise to send you back
i think its working, i rebuild the plot yesterday, , so it takes me to this morning to start the miner,but i see green mesages on the miner say confirmed dl bla bla 9d
but when i go to block explorer i see no mined blocks did i have to wait any time to update the database?
The pool says 1d what does it means? how can i know for sure its working??
@razzor 1D on the pool says you've earned 1 Burst, but it's not been paid out yet - it's Deferred
well i hope y can earn more i have my miner runing all day
Hy again sorry to have so many questions!
i received a pay.
Is it normal??
the pool send me 2.46975946 + 1 for a day of mining with a 1 tb disk?
only 2? profitability calculator says 500 its a biggg diference
Thanks for the replies
@razzor According to http://burstcoin.biz/calculator 1TB will earn 27 Burst per day - this is a long term estimation, individual days will wildly vary depending on the luck of the pool.
well so i made 10 per cent of whats estimated,
the way i see it if i lose 90 per cent anyone is wining my 90 per cent.
I will wait to see my luck maybe tomorrow i win 190 per cent,
but i have to tell you im a litle bit disapointed,
i need 3 days just to pay the 5 burst to vaxman, and y promise to give him x4
so i need 12 days
doesnt look to profitable
Gadrah_ last edited by
@razzor Give it a few more days and weeks before jumping on conclusions
thats what im doing,
just because i liked some other aspects of the project,
im jumping to 2 t disk,
and waiting at least a week, to see what hapens.
Thanks for all the suport!!
@razzor The calculator gives a long term estimate, you can't equate what it predicts with day to day earnings. Yesterday you earned 2 coins, tomorrow you could mine a block and get 1,500 coins. It's a long term average, not what you should get each day.
socalguy last edited by
Folks have been doubting this coin for a long time. We are seeing a swing in value and awareness for Burst. The question is, do you want to generate coins and sell now? Or do you want to wait until it's grown in value?
The fluorescent pink is when I got in. My burst overall is up.
I undrestand, but this have only hapened to me with this coin, since i have started with mining a month ago, i have mined ethereum, zcash, zclasic. monero, sia, bitcoin with antminers s7, dem with antminer s3 sib Lbry decreed, and burst.
i hope profitability goes up the next days, but its not about if you want to stay or sell, its about profitability , its not stay to speculate to where te price goes so when its hi we all sell and goes down again and comunity dies
Its how much for how much work and investment,
miners are working and investing in harware,
its not a loto at least i think so, thats whi you are on a pool(i can be wrong im the new guy).
Think it this way
for the same money i bouth a 6 tb disk, i can buy an rx580, this means 2,50 ethereum day , you go polo and buy burst, then come hear and invest, is that fair for miners?? no so finaly with no miners(they are all geting eth), sistem doestn work, i think it needs to be more balanced.
but i dont want to bored you any more i think i write a lot yet dont kill me .
please dont misundrestand me im not looking any bad to the project, just beeing honest.

Kristina Marie Darling is back in full force with another surreal and romantic collection titled Melancholia (An Essay) in which dreamy unaddressed, fractured letters and whimsical footnotes spin through the pages into a journey that makes you wish you could fall asleep and dream about the unnamed characters within its pages so you might finally see their faces and know their magic at closer range. Published by Ravenna Press, Darling's work allows the reader to "fill in the blanks" and create their own imagery and interact with the poet in a way that is not often presented in the collections of poems by other writers. It would be like opening a scientific essay only to find some of the words and parts of definitions inexplicably missing, letters to other scientists with the names "whited-out" and forcing us to come up with our own answers. Below I am happy to share some samples:
noctuary,definition (verb)
1. To keep a record of what passes in the night. 2. To wake from a dream—to begin a series of portraits instead. 3. To depict the beloved and discover cracks in his perfectly white teeth. 4. To experience a heightened awareness of one's senses. 5. To ask, to consider, to be led away from. 6. To examine a familiar painting—to imagine a blank canvas in its place. 7. To select and omit, as a poet would.
This definition includes items that would make sense in a dictionary and also includes images and experiences that relate to the poet and in turn relate to us, the reader. We wonder who the beloved is and picture cracks in perfectly white teeth, we think of paintings going blank. We wonder who she is talking about and what it means. It is a whimsical definition of night and the senses in the night. We are left to find our own answers to the definition provided.
beloved. The raison d'etre of the melancholic's affliction. Consider the graceful line of his wool coat, its fabric dark against the towering snowdrifts.
courtship. A set of social conventions that gave rise to their exchanging of love tokens. These antique pendants, which held locks of tangled hair, were inevitably lost in the great avalanche.
locket. An object onto which her memories were inscribed. When she thought of their evening soirees, its clasp seemed smaller, more intricate.
As in Darling's previous collections of work (which have been featured here on PH) there are unusual glossary terms, definitions, etc. that the reader is led to discover. Throughout the collection Darling makes mention of the locket, always empty, and of the beloved and their courtship. The glossary leaves further images of the beloved and his interactions with the poet and we are left with the emotions and the fragments of memories in the most lovely of ways. It's as though we are reading a great love story's footnotes and glossary terms instead of the story itself and it is up to us as readers to create the story itself using just these small details.
1 Two of the darkest flowers, which were pressed in a book and displayed on a mahogany nightstand.
2 Only then did she describe the recurring dream, in which luminous cufflinks gave rise to a series of house fires.
3 "I had wanted to preserve the cold white light that shone that evening. But beneath every door, a little wisp of smoke. The hallway smolders and now my armoire burning in a locked room."
As I said earlier, it is as though you are reading the footnotes and glossary to a romantic novel and are left to build that story or novel on your own. I think it is an enchanting way to engage the reader and a wonderful form of writing that Darling is exploring. I love the images of the flowers pressed in a book and dreaming of cufflinks that somehow cause house fires in the poet's dreams. The armoire, I'm guessing, contains all the trinkets and odds and ends from the relationship and I imagine the poet setting it on fire and locking the door behind her when she leaves the room. Another powerful image of a relationship "up in smoke."

We have all heard the horror stories about individuals who have purchased a property that was a lemon – wonderful on the surface, however with serious hidden defects within the inside, that prices 1000's to repair. My good friend had an company put a dehumidifier in his room for a week in a unique home with less extreme stain and moulding, however then he had his walls ripped and reinstalled anyway! Jo Jo's Seasonal Selections will right here Saturday & Sunday 10am to 3pm with an important selection of fresh greens and beautiful mums. Rightmove is the largest UK homes on the market website – with over 90% of all houses on the market being listed, it's the one place the place most people are more than likely to be looking.
Arthur Charles Clement, businessman and son of outstanding businessman of a dried goods operation, built this house whereas dwelling on the east side of Joliet for his household. The home was listed for the discount price of $159,000 and because of social media efforts, the sale acquired national consideration. That form of inflation tells me that either the buy-to-letters have moved in to the market in large numbers, or else people are waking as much as the fact that it is higher to buy than to hire in such low cost areas.
Yet Milton is one in every of several designated zones for elevated growth, including new plans for high-rise residential towers. This data has but to be disclosed, however Mattel brought four designers on board to determine it out: Jonathan Adler (bear in mind his real-life 3,500 s.f. Dream House in 2009?), Lulu de Kwiatkowski, Celerie Kemble and Trina Turk.
The village of Princetown has its origins in 1785, when Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt, Secretary to the Prince of Wales, leased a big portion of Dartmoor from the Duchy of Cornwall property, with the intention of farming it. Soon other people got here to reside in the space and it was prompt that a prison be built there to house the thousands of captives of the Napoleonic Wars.
I buried the 2 that handed and stated a prayer to Great Spirit honoring them & always thanking for the sign/reward. I had my home pretty clean and my hoard tamed when my change flipped and I noticed how far more potential I had to clear. Once a family has lost their effectively-paying job, financial savings and their residence, it is very troublesome to build up sufficient cash for a rental deposit or down payment on a house. Co-signers could be of help, unfortunately, the mixed revenue of the renter and the cosigner usually have to equal at the very least 5 times the month-to-month hire and the co-signer must not have a high debt-to-income ratio. I walk into the home and he or she doesn't say two phrases to me, then proceeds to cover upstairs. Cooper's Comics & Collectibles has a vast choice of comedian books and collectibles.

"Better Living Through Chemistry," an independent movie about a pharmacist's life unraveling after he starts an affair with a trophy-wife customer, will film for five weeks in Maryland starting this month, Governor Martin O'Malley announced Thursday.
The cast includes Olivia Wilde, Michelle Monaghan and Sam Rockwell — TV and independent-film stars with wide mainstream-movie credits including blockbusters like "Tron: Legacy" (Wilde), "Mission: Impossible 3" (Monaghan), and "Iron Man 2" (Rockwell). The presence of Ray Liotta, who broke through with the great neo-noir farce "Something Wild" before starring in "GoodFellas," adds to the film's black-comedy cred.
Scenes will be shot in Baltimore, the Eastern Shore and Anne Arundel and Baltimore Counties, according to a statement from the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development. The bulk of it will be staged in Annapolis and Anne Arundel County.
The writing-directing team of Geoff Moore and David Posamentier will put these globetrotting actors through their paces in Maryland. Helping them navigate will be Catonsville born-and-bred Tim Suhrstedt, the film's cinematographer. With credits like "Office Space" and "Little Miss Sunshine," Suhrstedt has become a go-to guy for quirky comedy.
"Better Living Through Chemistry" is estimated to deliver up to 340 jobs to local crew, actors and extras and roughly $7 million to the Maryland economy.
"We look forward to welcoming the cast of 'Better Living Thru Chemistry' to Maryland," Governor Martin O'Malley said in a statement. "This film, and the many film projects that have chosen Maryland recently, help create hundreds of jobs and generate new business for the local companies that support this industry."
Those projects include the HBO film "Game Change" and HBO series "VEEP" as well as the independent film "Jamesy Boy." The Netflix series "House of Cards" is still shooting in various Maryland locations, including The Baltimore Sun.

Success By 6 is an early childhood movement led by the United Way spearheaded by United Way of Southeast Louisiana's Women's Leadership Council.
With similar initiatives located in over 300 cities and states in America and Canada, Success By 6 is a community based, public–private partnership of individuals and organizations that share a common vision—that children are ready to succeed when they enter school.
Success By 6 is rooted in the belief that a community working together toward a common vision can generate and implement an effective plan to improve outcomes for all children.
We envision a community that will ensure all children by age 6 are healthy, safe and functioning physically, emotionally, intellectually and socially at their optimal potential.
Success By 6 is guided by medical and scientific research [source: National Research Council (NRC)]. This research proves that half of all intellectual development potential is established by age four, and the experiences of young children in the first six years have a lasting impact on later success and life.
Thanks to an initial donation of $50,000 from Chevron Texaco, the Women's Leadership Council of United Way of Southeast Louisiana rallied community leaders to secure the necessary resources to positively impact the lives of young children.
There is shared commitment in the foundation and action of Success By 6. Partners are recruited from all sectors of the community to ensure a diverse perspective. Each partner has a voice, a vote and a role in the initiative, backed by the authority of their 'home' organization to participate in the decision making process.
Guided by an outcome-focused planning process, partners developed strategies based on local data, best practices and evidence on factors affecting readiness to learn. This is vital for system level impact within public schools and the child care and health care industries.
Current Activities
After working for one year through an evidence-based decision-making process, the collaborative partners have identified seven key areas that affect school readiness:
High-quality childcare
Strong relationship with parent/caretaker
Economic opportunities for families
Engaged neighborhood residents
Safe, attractive neighborhoods
Families with access to services
Healthy development on track
Success By 6 is committed to engaging all sectors of the community in our work. We have assembled a diverse membership of representatives from business, universities, government, education, media, health care, social service, local foundations, and the Women's Leadership Initiative. We continue to recruit additional members to join in our collaborative efforts.
Success By 6 Collaborative Meetings are open to individuals or representatives of organizations that are interested in becoming involved with our efforts.

From the Guardian about Syria:
Sinan Ülgen, a former Turkish diplomat now at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said Ankara's preferred option would be regional support for limited Nato operations, including a no-fly zone and humanitarian corridor. "Turkey is beyond the point of no return," he said. "It has burned its bridges. The longer Assad stays in Syria, the worse it is. Turkey has bet heavily on regime change."
That is how far we have sunk as Western world. Turkey has made unwise moves and now it wants others to follow it in its folly so that its foolishness becomes hidden. What happened to facing up to your mistakes? Turkey could fire its present foreign minister as a scapegoat and try again but it looks like it lacks the courage.
Another article describes how far Turkey has gone in burning its bridges:
Unmarked NATO warplanes are arriving at Turkish military bases close to Iskenderum on the Syrian border, delivering weapons from the late Muammar Gaddafi's arsenals as well as volunteers from the Libyan Transitional National Council who are experienced in pitting local volunteers against trained soldiers, a skill they acquired confronting Gaddafi's army. Iskenderum is also the seat of the Free Syrian Army, the armed wing of the Syrian National Council. French and British special forces trainers are on the ground, assisting the Syrian rebels while the CIA and U.S. Spec Ops are providing communications equipment and intelligence to assist the rebel cause, enabling the fighters to avoid concentrations of Syrian soldiers.
Yet it seems unlikely that Turkey will intervene in Syria as its Alevi community is fiercely opposed to that.
The only opinion poll availabe shows 55% of the Syrians want Assad to stay. It has rightly be criticized for its small sample size but there is no doubt that Assad has considerable support. And although according to Peter Harling of the International Crisis Group his support is decreasing there are also reports about former protesters who now support the government because they see no viable alternative at the moment. See also this link.
The report of the Arab League observation mission was mainly critical about the violence used by the opposition. Maybe that was the real reason they were withdrawn.
This article ("Rebels without a clue") describes the SNC: dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood, disorganized, disconnected from the Syrians on the ground, and out of step with the broad spectrum of Syrian society. As a consequence their relation with the fighters and protesters in Syria is problematic. They are seen as trying to steal a part of the success of the protesters. It doesn't help either that many Syrian soldiers have been educated to see the Brotherhood as the main enemy.
This article describes how Assad behaves under the circumstances: "fully abreast of events on the ground - not the mere puppet of hardliners that some have portrayed - "relaxed and phlegmatic", and determined to see off the challenge, offering some reforms, strictly on his own terms."
Assad is described as holding back in his reaction to the uprising ("Eighty percent of the army is still in the barracks"), both because of the international reaction and because he doesn't want to give the army too much power.
A press overview on Syria can be found on Syria Comment. Other interesting sites: Brian Whitacre.
This article (Questioning the Syrian "Casualty List") criticizes the death count as provided by SOHR, the UN and other organizations. It mentions examples of casualties on the list that shouldn't be there. As the SOHR website is in Arabic and refers to Facebook for English speakers one needs to understand Arabic to check it out.
Syria Witness is a very long page with many interviews with people who tend to be pro-opposition.

GoDaddy w Danica Patrick
Almost everyone in the advertising industry watches the Super Bowl commercials religiously (some moreso than the actual game). Here is my commentary in this year's crop.
This ad got everyone at my Super Bowl party laughing. The ad got weirder, and funnier, with each segment. And everyone could relate to things they don't like about their job, or observe others not liking. It was poignant, basic, and clear.
A fun fantasy that kept our interest - with a laugh-out-loud punchline.
Odd, but not too odd, especially when you consider that it was aimed at younger, tecchier people. Alec Baldwin is hot with that crowd, and all the other characteristics of the spot were just right, as well. And, man, did it make fun of both the audience and the subject. "Sacreligious" and "irreverant" are great ways to grab the attention of their target audience.
Late Addition (I blew it and forgot)
The stress, the anguish, the achievement - quite dramatic. The cinematography was excellent! It swelled and built - and the audience felt it. The punchline was excellent as it played off of the brand's weakness - many westerners struggle with their name.
I'll avoid blathering on and on and get right to the BIG looser:
Tonya Harding needs to get all sleazy to make a buck. Danica Patrick is (was) a respected professional athlete on a roll. Of all the people appearing in today's ads, she is, by far, the last person who should be stooping to such a slimy level. She is either getting extremely bad advice or not listening to smart people. Her brand is besmerched by these ridiculous ads - and by the nudie/swimsuit photographs she released.
In general:
I was surprised at the quantity of re-treads, repeats, and ripoffs. Then, there was a handful of "artsy" ads that had my crowd scratching their heads and NOT wondering. Yuk!

No one who knows me would call me adventurous. I have usually lived my life pretty safe. I am not one who likes to try new things such as kayaking, zip-lining or even driving down a road I am not familiar with. I think a part of me has always been that way, but in recent years, my living "close to the vest" as the old saying goes, is more prevalent. I am not sure when I started to feel less in the mood to take a risk. Don't get me wrong, I have taken risks in my life and things have often gone well. But there are certain times I am extremely hesitant. My recent struggles with anxiety have exacerbated this.
Where am I now?
I am at a point in my life now where I don't want to live fearful anymore. I want to be more spontaneous and adventureous, fearless. I owe it to my husband, my family and most of all to myself. Looking back at my life I can see areas where I was willing to take a risk and areas where I definitely was not. It helps me at this stage to realize I have taken risks before and I can do it again. Even take new risks!
One example of a risk I took was agreeing to move out of state, away from family and begin a new life together with my husband. I had barely traveled out of state let alone LIVED in another state. At that time in my life, I was willing to do so. We had a young child back then and our work options were limited. We needed a change. So we made the move. We did have one family member who lived in our new area. That did help put me at ease some. As it turned out, this was the best move we could have made. We have been in Virginia for over 20 years now and definitely call it home.
Being somewhat shy and lacking self-confidence I often felt unsure of the choices I made. I was nervous to step out of my comfort zone, but I now realize it was those very uncomfortable things that helped me grow professionally as well as personally. The growth allowed me to have enough confidence and faith to start my own very small business as well as a blog several years ago.
While I did have emotional setbacks, I feel that am on the other side of that now. I can see how God can use our struggles and our pain to first, strengthen our relationship with Him and second, to allow us to have greater compassion for others and use our experiences to help them carry on.
Moving Forward
I know I have missed out on things in my life because of my lack of "risk" taking and I don't want to live that way anymore. Part of the reason for this blog in the first place is to help me and hopefully help you to live life to the fullest. To live fearlessly. I don't mean live stupidly. But to be able to live a life that is unafraid. A big inspiration for this new perspective is the song, Fearless by Jasmine Murray.
I say that I trust that God has got my back, but am I living that out? I hope so. Maybe one day people will say that I am adventurous. Fearless, even.

The Christmas season has an abundance of
"wealth" in store for all who wish to draw the most out of it.
Its spiritual significance and symbolism enriches the soul. Its
traditions and customs offer a wealth of opportunities for cheerful giving and
delightful receiving. Its spirit of uniting minds and hearts, of refreshing
friendships and reconciling enemies opens a treasure-house of love, peace and
Christmas Treasury seeks to emphasize the true 'value'
of Christmas with a range of heart-warming, informative and inspiring
"nuggets" – concise presentations on a variety of topics that blend
mystery and make-believe, fact with fancy, the spiritual and the secular.
Christmas Treasury has six sections, each with five
chapters. The first section, Facts & Faith, traces the origin and
evolution of Christmas and the beliefs that surround it. The second, Symbols
and Sentiments, highlight some of the symbols of this holy season, in the
Indian context. The third section, Legends and Legacies, picks up some
true-life stories behind the creation of some of our favourite Christmas music
and writing. Section four, Christ and Compassion, encapsulates the
Christmas spirit – of a God who "empties" himself in order to give himself
fully to others, even unto death on the cross. Section five, Rhythm and
Rhyme, contains five inspirational poems, Section six has two parts, Gifts
and Gaffes, to spread the Christmas cheer.
Christmas Treasury
is meant to inform, inspire and entertain. It challenges "men and women of
good will" who consider this universally celebrated festival as more than just
another red-letter Day on the calendar! It hopes to so 'enrich' one and all
with the true spirit of Christmas as to enable one to celebrate the joy that the
season brings, all the year long! It is a "gift" worth treasuring!

Week Two of the crazy vegetable adventure is complete! See all the cool veggies from the week here.
The winner this week is: Eggplant Banana Bread!
What can I say? I love bread. That by itself would be enough to make it a winner, but this had banana, chocolate chips, and walnuts. It was basically a dessert bread. How can it lose?
I followed this recipe, and eye-balled the amount of goodies (can you really ever have too many chocolate chips?) It probably could have baked 5-10 minutes longer, but it was so delicious!
Runner-up: Eggplant Pepperoni Pizza Bites
I was inspired by this recipe, and since I already had some pizza sauce hanging around, it was pretty easy.
8 slices of homemade bread
1 eggplant thinly sliced
16 pepperoni slices (2 for each piece of bread, in my case)
1 cup shredded cheese (I used Munster; it melts so nicely)
1/4 cup pizza sauce
Lightly saute the eggplant slices. Lay the bread out and spread the sauce. Add the eggplant and pepperoni, sprinkle the cheese. Heat the oven to 400 degrees and pop in for 15 minutes.
Honorable Mention: Black bean soup with Roselle leaves
This one I concocted myself, as I tried to figure out something to do with the sour-tasting Roselle leaves. I used two cups of chopped leaves, and still had half the bunch left, but I at least feel better for making an effort.
1 (16 oz) bag of dry black beans
3 cubes of beef buillion
6 cups water
2 cups chopped roselle leaves
6 cloves chopped garlic
bacon bits and parmesan cheese to taste (a lot, in my case)
In a large pot, soak the beans (I soak anywhere from 6 hours to overnight). Dump the water and rinse them. Add the 6 cups of water and buillion cubes. Heat uncovered until they start to boil, turn down to a simmer and cover.
I added the roselle leaves and garlic just before I covered it, and then scooped half of the roselle out after 30 minutes. I wasn't really sure what I was doing, so maybe I could have left it all in. The bits I couldn't get out seemed to taste just fine.
Cook for about 1.5-2.5 hours, depending on how tender you want the beans. Serve. Add bacon bits and parmesan.

World record 213 mph wheelie crowns new World ChampionView gallery - 5 images
The 11th World Wheelie Championship ended on a high note after Egbert Van Popta set a new world record on his way to the title. His 213 mph (343 km/h) exit speed after a full kilometer on the back wheel was enough to edge Gary Rothwell's previous record of 210 mph (337 km/h) from last September.
Organized by the Straightliners, the eleventh edition of the World Wheelie Championship was hosted at the Elvington Airfield in Yorkshire, UK. More than 30 competitors from several countries contested the one-kilometer (0.62 mi) airstrip on their back wheel in an effort to exit with the highest possible speed.
During the last few years the event has been dominated by two champions and their turbo-charged Suzuki Hayabusas; Gary Rothwell from UK won last year, taking the title from 2014 winner Egbert Van Popta from Holland. Their duel regularly occupies the top two spots of the championship and has evolved into a world record fight.
Last September it was Rothwell who managed to set a new record of 209.822 mph (337.676 km/h), setting the stage for this year's showdown where Van Popta retaliated. He started with a 214.669 mph (345.5 km/h) attempt that was later declared invalid because his front wheel touched the ground before his motorcycle had cleared the speed sensors at the finish line. His next run would clock 213.309 mph (343.3 km/h), still enough for a shiny new world record.
Unlike last year, Rothwell couldn't achieve more than 206.049 mph (331.6 km/h) in his two runs, landing comfortably at the runner-up spot. Third place went to Cecil "Bubba" Myers from Minneapolis, who in his third participation at the Championship wheelied his Kawasaki ZX-10R to a perfectly round 197 mph (317 km/h).
Apart from the star competitors, Straightliners's events are meant to encourage the average rider to join the fun. More than 30 participants stood on the start line of the Elvington airstrip, as 15 of them managed to get their names on the official books with a complete kilometer wheelie. Among them Kimberly Davy Schyven from Holland missed out on the opportunity to become the first-ever female rider to register in the official results, as her 141.518 mph (227.7 km/h) did not count because her front wheel had touched the ground half-track.

Last week I happened to make three interrelated discoveries:
1. The Australian singer Nick Cave is not the only person to perform in a decrepit West Berlin nightclub in the movie "Wings of Desire" (1987), as I thought I remembered. Cave, who was based in Berlin for a time, sings near the end of the movie with his band, the Bad Seeds. But there is a second band that sounds and looks a lot like the Bad Seeds.
2. That other band was another Australian outfit, Crime and the City Solution, fronted by Simon Bonney, which performs midway through the movie. Bonney, like Cave, was based in Berlin in the 1980s, and the band disbanded around 1991 (shortly after the Berlin Wall fell).
3. Crime and City Solution reformed in 2012, is now based in Detroit and has a new record out. The video for one song, "American Twilight," includes images of run-down houses in Detroit. (The video has strong language.)
Keen readers of this space may recall that I am not a fan of "ruin porn," or photographs of dilapidated buildings, in Detroit, my hometown (full disclosure: I grew up in the eastern suburbs). But there's something intriguing about this band ending up in Detroit and about the context it applies to "American Twilight." The Stool Pigeon, a London music paper (it closed earlier this year), wrote that Bonney, once he was in Detroit, "became further preoccupied with the notion of a shadow state hidden from view because it couldn't be squared with the mythical narratives of wealth and self-determination woven into the country's fabric."
And having spent time in Berlin before and after the wall fell, I could get a sense, listening to the new album, of the lines that connect end-of-the-line places like West Berlin in the 1980s and Detroit in 2013. Thanks, Crime.
Now, if David Bowie moves to Detroit, we'll really have a trend.

Zombie Economics: How Dead Ideas Still Walk Among Us, by John Quiggin (Princeton, £16.95)
The financial crisis has disproved many cherished tenets
of "market liberalism", such as the "Efficient Markets Hypothesis", yet these zombie ideas still shamble through newspapers and journals. Enter economist Quiggin, calmly wielding dual shotguns to blast them relentlessly in the face. Just as useful as these blood-spattered executions are the almost loving histories of how such ideas (eg, that "a rising tide lifts all boats"; or what glories in the name of "Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium") got started in the first place. (Zombies don't kill people; people who make zombies do.)
As Quiggin explains with elegance, lucidity and deadpan humour, the undead ideas here are interconnected: killing one causes it to knock over another, in a sort of zombie-dominoes effect. Once the Efficient Markets Hypothesis is headshotted, the idea that private companies will always run things better than governments goes down too. (Good luck, Royal Mail.) Quiggin is also quietly angry, eg about the "Great Risk Shift" accomplished by the zombie ideology in its pomp (risk was shifted from society to individuals), or the "widespread acceptance [.

There are a lot of things kids need from you, but I think the most important one is to be their biggest cheerleader. It doesn't matter what they are doing–got an A on an assignment, made the varsity team, hit their first baseball, got into a fight with their boyfriend–kids need to know that they have someone in their corner.
I think all of this comes down to the most important "R" in education: Relationships. When you build strong relationships, students will push themselves harder to meet your expectations because they know you care about them. Tell your friends/significant other you can't do a night out this week because you are going to see one of your students sit on the bench for the football game, send out a whole class Remind telling everyone about an award that one of your students one, wake up at 5 am to watch a live stream of one of your students competing in a trampoline competition in Denmark.
It takes almost no time to be that cheerleader and it will make all the difference in the end.
