Series List
Scope and Content Note
This collection spans four generations of the Wellman family of Lynn, Massachusetts, beginning with Thomas Wellman (ca. 1620-1672). The collection consists largely of legal papers and includes deeds, depositions, indentures, quit claims, bonds, obligations, and other legal documents. Also present are personal correspondence and religious writings of the Wellmans.
The earliest deeds and indentures, copied from documents dated from 1653 to 1663, pertain to Thomas Wellman, who died intestate in 1672. Most documents from 1720 to 1739 pertain to Abraham Wellman, Jr. (1673-1745), husbandman, while many of those after 1740 pertain to his son, Abraham Wellman (1718-1781), cordwainer. The documents include land transfers, indentures, contracts, depositions, bonds, court summons and settlements, memoranda, conditions of obligation, powers of attorney, accounts, and also one small map.
The personal correspondence (1787-1799) includes letters to Mehitable, Sarah, Mercy, and Martha Wellman, as well as a letter from Jenne Wellman to her daughter Anne. The correspondence to Mehitable is from her brother James Gowing. The folder also contains one small sketch. The religious writings include small notebooks and long tracts expressing religious devotion.
Biographical Sketches
Thomas Wellman was the progenitor of the Wellman family of New England. He was born in about 1620 in England and settled in Lynn, Massachusetts, in about 1640. At the time of his death he owned 180 acres of land in Lynn (now Lynnfield), Massachusetts. He and his wife Elizabeth had five children: Abraham, Isaac, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Mary. Thomas Wellman died on October 10, 1672, in Lynn, Massachusetts.
Abraham Wellman Jr. was born on November 25, 1673, in Lynn, the son of Abraham and Elizabeth Wellman, and the grandson of Thomas Wellman. He was a husbandman in Lynn. He married Elizabeth Taylor in 1717, and they had seven children: Abraham, Jacob, James, Martha, Ruth, Mercy, and Elizabeth. He is presumed to have died at Louisburg on Cape Breton after October 26, 1745.

Op-Shops are my Kryptonite. That is to say, they don't kill me or anything, but they do render me powerless and somewhat weak at the knees. I probably wouldn't be able to leap over a building either (although it is possible I could if the bargains on the other side were awesome enough). I just like the thrill of the chase, the rummaging around in junk looking for some treasure. I know it's not for everyone – lots of my friends don't get it and I understand that (although I myself don't understand why they pay full price for anything or think that $80 is a reasonable price to pay for a t-shirt). I guess I just like looking for things that aren't the same old stuff everyone else has. I like quirky and different, old or vintage. I think it's the Aquarian in me (quirky) and the Scot (thrifty) in my blood. Or it's neither of those things – I don't know.
This week (having promised myself I wouldn't make any purchases that weren't absolutely essential) I stopped in at a local op-shop on my way home from an exceedingly tiresome day at work. Nothing cheers me faster that a haven of 2nd-hand knick-knackery.
I had wanted to find some more little pots for popping succulents into and I found a couple that would work wonderfully well.
Firstly this lovely little earthenware cooking dish with its crackled glaze and its vintage charm. It might not be vintage but it looks is and I liked it (so there!). It's nice and shallow too which is good for a happy little succulent. I also bought a larger sized bowl (exactly the same, just bigger) which I will use for actual cooking I think.
(Please excuse photos – I had to take them outside on my porch as it was getting dark and my house had the WORST lighting ever for taking pictures…)
Next up, these AMAZING glazed pottery mugs. Swoon. I loved the colours – purply/blue with the brown terracotta swirled through it. I saw one of the mugs and thought "Oh that might be nice to plant a little cactus or succulent in…" and then I saw that is was actually a WHOLE SET (i.e. 6 mugs). They were only $1.25 each and practically brand new so I had to buy them. Well, by "had to" I mean I "wanted to" with every fibre of my being. So I did. I still haven't decided whether to plant succulents in them or use them as actual coffee mugs. They're quite small though as is my kitchen cupboard which is already groaning under the weight of a million coffee and tea cups/mugs. Might have to do a cull…
Then I found this lovely little dish (I guess it is like a tapas dish or one that you'd put olives in or something…). Nice and shallow and in perfect condition. The price tag said $3 but the lady at the counter gave it to me for $1. Bargain! I like the colours and design on the inside of the bowl so it seems a shame to cover it up with a plant, but I will anyway methinks! Or have a tapas night…which seems just as pleasant and good for the soul.
Then I spotted these two little trinket dishes. So cute and in pretty good condition. I thought I might give them to a couple of vintage-loving friends as gifts. Or keep them for myself – I am undecided. They're so pretty and dainty (and I need all the help I can get on those two fronts!).
So that was a pretty good haul for one afternoon and one shop. I am binge-spending so much right now (Mum and I went to the Save the Children Fund Book Sale today and I bought 26 books…I have nowhere to put them!) and it is on par with my binge-eating. I am going to try harder from tomorrow to curb both my emotional-eating and my emotional-purchasing. I know it is all because I am now in the process of divorce and it is easier to feed my face or empty my purse than deal with the feelings I am trying so hard not to feel. But I am also buying things that I can sell on and make some extra money with (at swap-meets and my mini-markets) so I am trying not to be too hard on myself. I assuage my guilt by giving to charity (and op-shops are for charities, right? That counts!) and reminding myself that I am mostly buying 2nd hand things which is a form of recycling. These justifications work if I don't dwell on it too hard.
Happy Monday everyone… x

text: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned that his government will consider imposing sanctions on northern Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region over its planned independence referendum. The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) plans to hold the referendum on support for independence on September 25 in three governorates that make up the region, and in disputed areas controlled by Kurdish forces, but which are claimed by Baghdad. The plebiscite has alarmed neighbouring Turkey, which has a large Kurdish minority. Iran and Syria also worry that the vote will encourage secessionist ideas among their own Kurdish minorities. OPINION: Regional implications of the Kurdish independence vote "Steps such as demands for independence that can cause new crises and conflicts in the region must be avoided," Erdogan told UN members during his address to the General Assembly in New York on Tuesday. He told reporters later that Turkey's National Security Council and cabinet will discuss on Friday "what kind of sanctions we can impose, or if we will". The Iraqi government is opposed to the poll, claiming it would affect the war against ISIL, cause instability and violate the Iraqi Constitution. Turkey, the US, Iran and the UN have all backed Baghdad in speaking out against the referendum. READ MORE: UN's Guterres urges Kurds in Iraq to scrap referendum Last week, Iraqi members of parliament voted against the referendum and called on the Baghdad government to negotiate with the KRG. On Monday, Iraq's Supreme Court ordered the suspension of the planned vote following a review of multiple "requests to stop the referendum". Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on Tuesday called on Kurds to scrap the vote after Kurdish President Masoud Barzani asked Baghdad for a deal good enough to convince him to forgo the vote. READ MORE: Iraqi army 'to intervene' if Kurds' referendum escalates "Barzani is playing with fire," Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag said on Tuesday, according to state-run Anadolu news agency. "The right thing is to give up playing with this fire, submit to common sense, and cancel the referendum," he added. INSIDE STORY: Can Iraq's Kurdish region gain independence?

Rural churches often have difficulty finding a pastor willing to leave the city to live and work in the country. Armena Lutheran Parish was lucky. A small rural parish was exactly what Jim Appleby was looking for.
Jim graduated from Augustana with a BA in Religious Studies in 2002, earning the Laurence Decore and Onesimus service awards for his contributions to making Augustana a place of exceptional educational and leadership development. After three years at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Saskatoon and a one-year internship, Jim earned a Master of Divinity degree and was ordained by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada.
He was then called to Armena, a parish fifteen kilometres northwest of Camrose consisting of two churches—St. Joseph near Miquelon Lake and Scandia in Armena—with a combined weekly attendance of 55 parishioners.
Jim and his wife Angie (née Bannerman) (BA Psych '05) had been hoping for a call to a rural parish. Jim feels at home in the country. "I love the open spaces," he says, "the fresh air, the wind in the trees, storms rolling in, and the passage of seasons."
He also thrives on the lifestyle offered by living in a rural space. "I enjoy helping neighbours on the farm or with a meal or a ride," Jim explains. "I admire the kind of character—both personal and community—that is fostered in rural life. Neighbours gather often here, for special events or just at the post office, and the result is a strong sense of community."
Jim's experiences growing up on a dairy farm near Steinbach, Manitoba, also provide common ground. "Deep rural roots make for a quick connection," he says. "I remember the anxiety when rain is on the horizon and the hay is not baled. I remember the joy that comes with getting the job done, and the disappointment of losing a crop." His understanding of the challenges of farming—not to mention his practical knowledge of agricultural machinery and practices—helps him connect with his congregation.
Jim admits that the learning curve is steep for a new pastor. Helping people in crisis is both the most challenging and rewarding part of his job. He helps them turn to God for assistance, and he also helps them connect with the many exceptional Camrose-area professionals and programs he became familiar with while a student at Augustana.
Jim shares his diverse interests with his parishioners. He takes his violin to seniors' homes and hospitals and plays familiar old hymns for the patients. On his own time, he enjoys Irish tunes and gypsy music, which, he explains, "have both a spiritual depth and a joyous passion." He's studying Spanish, an interest that grew from his participation in Augustana's Rural Development Exchange Program in Mexico. He also enjoys cycling with Angie and their daughters. Not surprisingly, his favourite route is through the countryside surrounding Armena, a place Jim is happy to be making himself at home.

€20.00 Sold Out
title: Calligraffiti
artist: Niels Shoe Meulman
medium: book
format: 23,4 x 23,4 cm (9.25 x 9.25 inch), 144 pages
Review by Jane Cheng for Eye magazine:
Apprenticed first as a hoodlum graffiti artist, then as a calligrapher and graphic designer, Niels 'Shoe' Meulman's career has spanned graphic design, art direction, advertising, calligraphy, art and fashion (see Eye 75 'Make each letter speak out loud'). Calligraffiti
includes a wide selection of his recent work arranged in spreads of contrasting or complementary pairs. Contrary to the contemporary norm, the work is presented out of context: logos for such disparate clients as Umbro or Bols Genever Spirits, first written on media from glass to digital to 'fluorescent cardboard', have been reduced and resized (sizes, clients, and exhibitions are indexed at the end of the book).
As journalist and editor Adam Eeuwens explains in his introduction, calligraffiti is a 'curious amalgam of an ancient, refined art form fused with the raw force of modern street art … a synthesis of opposites.' The book explores Meulman's capacity to express written comparisons in a viscerally understandable form. Pairings range from love / money to strict / loose to rural / urban – all bearing additional dimensions of visual irony and depth.
While the stark decontextualisation hinders any sense of their varying scales, it allows the pairings to speak more directly than they otherwise might. The illustrative nature of Meulman's words makes their apprehension feel less like reading than hearing: understood so quickly that they are impossible to ignore or shut out. Beyond the cacophony is a reserve of pent-up energy, an abhorrence of complacency, and a crisp exploration of contrast mediated by masterful craft.

Nestled between India and Tibet, the remote and breath-taking Kingdom of Bhutan has always been popular for restricting the inflow of tourists. But if you look at the world now, Bhutan is the only remaining Buddhist Himalayan Kingdom in the entire world which makes it alluring to tourists. What makes it more alluring is the fact that it has only opened its borders to tourists only in 1974.
Perhaps that's why I'd initially decided to backpack across Bhutan, I knew I was in store for a travel experience unlike any other. But I wanted to travel like a real backpacker.
Paying $250-A-Day Royalty In Bhutan
Where many want to experience Bhutan's culture and learn about the unique sentiments attached to it, travelling to this Unknown Shangri-la is no easy job.
The country requires you to pay $250-a-day in Royalty, against which you will get a pre-booked accommodation and a complete end-to-end itinerary — right from the morning tea to the late evening snacks. You will moreover be accompanied by a tour guide, during your entire period of stay in Bhutan, making it very clear that independent travel, or backpacking, is next to impossible in Bhutan.
What's worse is that even if you're ready to pay $250-a day and are ready to compromise with your movement, by getting pre-booked travel arrangements, it's not guaranteed that your application will be selected. The country allows only a limited number of tourists per season, on first come first serve basis. And if you just happened to be unlucky enough to not make it in the first few thousand people, your application will be put on hold and will only be processed in the upcoming season.
But $250-a-day royalty doesn't apply to Indians. And I thank the gods for that and consider myself lucky. We can cross the border pretty much anytime we want – with only a permit, which can be obtained from the immigration department, at one of the borders. Getting a permit is easy and can be obtained with any photo ID card, which has an address proof. I used my Election Card.
Backpacking Through Bhutan For Indians
For non-Indians/Bangladeshis, as I said, backpacking is unfortunately totally not possible. Because the $250 daily tariff includes your food, your accommodation and your tour guide. So you're pretty much restrained in an orderly executed travel plan. And there is no other option unless you want to take the adventure to the next level, and go, vigilante.
Though you can travel solo (by paying a US$40 surcharge) you're still bound by a predefined itinerary and your tour guide. So backpacking and wandering as you wish is practically impossible!
This leaves us to talk about Indians. Yes, we can backpack across Bhutan fairly easily, but with a twist. When I visited Bhutan and travelled solo, I started from Phuentsholing. And my Route Permit, which I'd obtained from Phuentsholing, was limited to Thimpu and Paro, with a validity of only 1 week. To get it extended, I was required to visit the immigration headquarter in Thimpu, and indulge in long, annoying – often half understood – talks, with a couple of immigration officers. Rejecting my 'one-month-long extension request', they offered me another 15-day extension to four more cities (Bhumtang, Mongar, T/Gang and exit via S/Jongkhar).
Though the process was easy and wasn't much of a hassle – by Indian standards – I was pretty much restrained to go anywhere but the mentioned 4 cities and had to leave the country in a 15 day period. Looking at this, I can say that IN A WAY I could manage to backpack, and travel on my will, across Bhutan, and IN A WAY I couldn't.
Don't Go Solo Travelling In Bhutan
Though Bhutan gives Indians a freedom to roam around a few limited cities – the idea of allowing tourists to go solo never struck the country. The minute you enter their immigration office solo, wearing your untidy backpacking garb, and tell them you want to see their country like a local, they go baffled. "Why would anyone want to do that," they ask themselves, before asking you.
When I was in their immigration office, at Thimpu, I had a similar experience. The immigration officer I was fixed an appointment with, never understood my fascination in solo travelling and ended up asking me – with an indirect order, they call Immigration Letter – to leave the country in next 15 days, following a defined route. Here's the route map I was entitled to follow:
Don't Get Disappointed
If you could not go to Bhutan but are still interested in going somewhere similar, I'd recommend you go to Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh, India. Tawang is probably the most culturally and scenically similar to Bhutan, out of anywhere in India. And it has the world's second largest monastery, after the Potala Palace in Lhasa. Moreover, Tawang is only 15 kilometres away from the nearest town of Bhutan called Trashigang, making you feel that you're almost there except for a border diving the two countries. You will moreover realise that about a quarter of the population in Tawang is actually Bhutanese, uniting either side of the border into a seamless cultural scene.

This program is designed to bring clarity to some essential aspects of Christian teaching so that your faith is informed and able to stand strong in the face of life's inevitable challenges. We also want you to have sound answers to the questions that many will ask you about Christ and Christianity. Finally we want you to understand the environment and ethos of iCAN Community church by exploring what we believe for yourself.
Right now you are like a tree that has been freshly planted in a fertile place. This means that your first job is to grow DOWN before you grow UP. Any tree without roots will not survive the elements and will never realise its full potential. Likewise any Christian whose faith is uncertain and uniformed will struggle to survive the storms of life and will never become the mighty force that they were born to be.
That's why we begin the journey with an exploration of the fundamental teachings of the Christian faith. As your understanding of the fundamentals increases so will your roots grow deeper making you much stronger and more certain about the rest of your life in Christ.

If you weren't already aware of the Shake Team's reputation for, well, incredible ass shaking, then Episode 3 of Big Freedia: Queen of Bounce definitely showed off the pair's expertise. Bounce veterans Tootie and Steph have been Freedia's primary dancers since the show's original season, and they're ready to take their skills to the next level with the Shake Team Twerkshop.
"I came up with the idea of getting a bounce studio because everywhere we go, somebody's asking us to teach them," Tootie explains, adding that she and Steph have set rules and budgets for their dance studio venture. The twerkshop is by appointment only, and clients can set up session times that fit their schedules.
"Who wouldn't want lessons from the Shake Team?!" Steph exclaims.

On the main page both the 2014/2015 Renew/Cancel tab has been updated (bye-bye Gracepoint) as well as the 2015 Mid Season Premiere Dates. If anything is missing please let me know!!
Category Archives: Renewed Shows
Main Tab Updates
I have already gotten the Renew/Cancel tracker cleared and ready for this season. As soon as shows are renewed or canceled, I will update. The 2014 Fall Preview will be updated as I add the individual networks to the main page. For right now only CBS is up but this week should have the rest of the major networks (not cable.)
The 2014 Premiere Dates have not been updated yet and that will be the last thing updated. All the individual networks reviews will have premiere dates next to the shows. So until that tab is updated, you can find premiere dates there.
BREAKING NEWS: FOX Renews Several Shows
From TV Line, looks like FOX is getting in the renewal mood a little early this year. Three comedies were just renewed and one drama:
- New Girl
- Brooklyn Nine-Nine
- The Mindy Project
- The Following
I'm always happy for renewed shows because people are keeping their jobs. I'm even more excited when it means my favorites are coming!!!
The one that has me the most excited on this list is Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I have loved this show from the minute it aired. Funny, well written, perfectly cast…this show was tight right out of the gate…which is a challenge for new ensemble comedies. I was worried because the ratings weren't good and it was looking bad for cancellation. Then the Hollywood Foreign Press did me a solid and gave B99 the Golden Globe for Best Comedy. And they were right on. Since then, people have checked out the show and if you haven't, what is wrong with you? Do you not like sharp, witty TV shows? Well, I'll give you a second chance and HIGHLY encourage you to check it out over the summer so you can be ready for the fall.
Of course New Girl and The Following make me happy since those are on my must view list. I don't watch The Mindy Project and this renewal surprises me a lot because the ratings are bad and people who I have talked to who have seen the show say it's pretty bad. I watched the pilot and 2nd episode and it didn't do anything for me so it was bumped. But for those that do, congrats that your crappy show is still on the air! I say crappy with all due respect of course.
So great news right?? Are you happy about these shows? Surprised? Pissed Enlisted isn't on here? Worried for Almost Human? May is a long way away for bubble shows.
TV News and Thoughts
Recently Canceled
Lucky 7
Murder Police
We Are Men
Recently Renewed
Sleepy Hollow
Full Season Pick Ups
The Blacklist
Marvel's Agents of SHIELD
Additional Scripts Ordered
The Originals
The Tomorrow People
I don't think anyone is surprised that Lucky 7 and We Are Men were already canceled. Awful shows with awful ratings usually do it every time. I am THRILLED to see that Sleepy Hollow was already picked up for Season 2. Shows like that have been hit or miss and this show has been a huge hit. Great writing, great cast = sure-fire renewal. Also very happy to see The Blacklist and SHIELD getting full season pick ups. Their shows and fan bases are strong and I don't see any reason these won't be renewed for a second season.
But Dads? Really? I just read that the mid-season comedy Us & Them starring Jason Ritter and Alexis Bledel, just got cut from its original 13 episode order to 6 and that's all that will be produced. The reason? because the "geniuses" at FOX were concerned over the tone of the show. It's not as "edgy" as the other comedies it has on the air and therefore they don't think it will do well. Let me get this straight. The network that brings you "edgy" comedies like Dads, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and the Mindy Project, which are all failing and certain to be canceled by the end of the season if not before, doesn't want to take a chance on a softer comedy because it doesn't fit the tone of the network? The only "edgy" comedy working is New Girl. The other ones are failing brutally. So why wouldn't you want to try something with a different tone and see if it works? It certainly has the cast to draw an audience. It was the buzz of the upfronts and "off-season" so why not try it? I'm no network exec but that seems ludicrous to me. But now that they've cut the show from 13 to 6, ostensibly canceling it, no one will bother with it and therefore the ratings will be bad and FOX can say "see, a show like this won't work." A show like that won't work because you morons didn't support it and pulled before giving it a chance.
What are your thoughts? Happy with the renewals and full season orders? Upset with the early cancellations? Sound off below!
2013/2014 Renew/Cancel Tracker
Since we haven't had the official premieres of new shows, I sincerely hope nothing's been canceled yet. You never know. I mean Boss received a Season 2 pickup before it even premiered. That worked out well didn't it? But I think it's safe to say that nothing is canceled yet.
So for all those questions about "When is Golden Boy coming back" (it isn't), you'll still be able to check last May's final renewed and canceled shows. As soon as something gets the ax, that's when I'll update it. I know some shows are already renewed for next year (Glee – as she rolls her eyes) and on their last season (How I Met Your Mother) but I'm still going to wait.
Renew/Cancel Tracker UPDATED
The renew/cancel tracker is now updated with all the renewals and cancellations through May 1 2013. Remember on my tracker, only if it's officially announced as canceled or renewed, will the show be on the list. We all know Smash isn't coming back but no official cancellation has come out so I will wait for that (plus I'm holding out some hope!)
Renewals I'm Happy/Thrilled About:
- Parenthood
- Grimm
- The Good Wife
- Elementary
- Blue Bloods
- The Following
- Arrow
- Person of Interest
The one I'm most excited for is Parenthood. This is a show that's been on the bubble I think every season it's been on the air and this is the first season the ratings were strong enough that it was pretty secure for a renewal. What I was even MORE thrilled about is that is was renewed not just for 15 episodes (like it had been) but the FULL 22 episode season!!!! I couldn't be happier for the cast and crew because that is seriously one of the best written and acted shows on TV. I feel the same way about The Good Wife and I'm so excited it's coming back. I'm hearing rumors it may be moved to Friday nights….FANTASTIC because Sundays were killing me!!!! And not because I can't stay up to watch it but because all the sports on CBS (NFL football), March Madness, The Masters, etc would always delay the start and screw up my DVR. Plus, poor The Mentalist, I haven't watched it all season because it's time slot was basically The Good Wife for most of the season. Don't get me wrong, I'm the biggest sports fan you'll meet. But that scheduling didn't do either show any justice. Plus Blue Bloods and The Good Wife on Fridays makes me VERY happy!!!
Renewals I'm Scratching My Head About:
- Glee
- Two and a Half Men
- Beauty & the Beast
So not only was the abomination that is Glee renewed for next season, it was renewed for TWO seasons! I really don't get it. That show is atrocious!!!!! And the ratings are getting worse every season. The only thing I can think of is that it was a deal Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuck made with FOX to get it renewed and that Season 6 will be its last season. One can hope!
Cancellations I'm Most Upset About:
- Ben & Kate
- Last Resort
- Smash (assuming it's officially canceled)
Upfronts will be here before you know it. Every thing will be official at that point. Really the big network we're waiting on is ABC because FOX, The CW, NBC, and CBS have renewed and canceled most of their shows with the exception of a handful still out there. So ABC will be the big one.
FOX Renews Bones for a 9th Season
I'm not sure if this news is good or bad to Bones fans but Fox has renewed Bones for a 9th season. More stories for Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz and crew for another season to come!!!
I'm a Bones fan but even I'll admit it's starting to get a bit….tired. The one storyline that gets my heart pumping, which they've done a terrific job with, is the Pelant storyline. I'm hoping they revisit it soon because it's been since the premiere that they've touched on it. While Bones was awesome in its heyday, it's really been marginal since. And it has nothing to do with Bones and Booth now being a couple, it's just I feel like I've gotten to know all I need to know from these characters…with the exception of Cam (who I love.) I feel as though I'm just watching them go through their lives solving crimes and nothing more. There's nothing wrong with that, but with all there is to watch on TV, it doesn't really get me going either…other than the Pelant story.
So what do you all think? Are you excited for the renewal or are you ready to let Bones rest in peace?

When the Jim Henson Company and financier Lord Lew Grade transplanted the booming Muppets franchise to the big screen, they couldn't simply use the old formula. The movies—which come out on DVD Tuesday, Nov. 29 in celebration of Kermit the Frog's 50th anniversary—had to be different from "The Muppet Show." A bigger version of the variety puppet theater featured on that program wouldn't have worked.
So, perhaps partially inspired by the final 15 minutes of "Blazing Saddles," Henson set out not only to tell the story of how the Muppets came together ("The Muppet Movie") and a jewel heist in London ("The Great Muppet Caper"), but also to skewer the conventions of movie screenplays and have fun with what movies are.
This reflexive filmmaking manifested itself not only through casting Orson Welles as a studio head and Peter Ustinov as a truck driver, but through a running commentary on those niggling bits of the movies that are too fake or overdone. After Henson, his screenwriters and "Muppet Movie" director James Frawley's creations, movie conventions were never the same.
"The Muppet Movie" opens as a Hollywood agent (Dom DeLuise) hands an audition notice to Kermit the Frog, who is living in a swamp. Kermit heads to Hollywood because making millions of people happy just seems better than living in his current quarters. He meets Fozzie Bear at the El Sleezo Café—a location that sets the stage for cameos from Madeline Kahn and Carol Kane—and has to outrun the slimy wiles of Doc Hopper (Charles Durning), who wants Kermit to shill for his frog-leg restaurant franchise. Everyone is eventually introduced, from Miss Piggy to Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.
On the other side of the ocean, in "The Great Muppet Caper," Henson (who directed) now wants us to consider the Muppets as a team. They've long since gotten the contract from World Wide Studios—the studio from the first film—and even though it's not implied that they work for WWS, it sounds reasonable considering the opening musical number, which takes place on a smaller-than-average backlot that makes most studio locales look like Times Square on location.
The second film centers around a jewel heist involving Miss Piggy, who seeks fame and fortune and looks to the ever-exasperated Lady Holiday (Diana Rigg, doing her worst to look confounded), whose no-good brother Nicky (Charles Grodin) plans to frame the beloved pig with Lady Holiday's missing diamond necklace so he can work on stealing the renown Baseball Diamond uninterrupted. Charles Grodin's lovelorn looks over Miss Piggy must have been training for his future encounters with that St. Bernard in "Beethoven."
Throughout these stories, the films constantly toy with typical plot manipulation. Dr. Teeth and the band find Kermit by looking at what it says in the screenplay. When Oscar the Grouch makes an unexpected cameo, Ustinov asks, "What are you doing here?" Oscar replies, "A very brief cameo." Ustinov: "So am I." And, in what may well be the first official audio commentary on any movie, Gonzo, Fozzie and Kermit comment on the opening credits in "Caper" while in a hot-air balloon.
This still-classic material is lost on a modern company like Disney, which now owns the Muppets, but isn't doing enough with them. DVDs do cost money to make, market and ship to stores, and Disney can't devote all its resources to the Muppets. But the films and their characters are still wonderful creations deserving of respect. Disney's very decision to release editions in honor of Kermit's 50th birthday demonstrates the character's longevity.
Brief profiles of Kermit and Miss Piggy on these DVDs are not worthy reverence. It's hard to believe that there are no Muppet historians out there who would have been willing to do an audio commentary or at least an extensive set of interviews. Even though these discs are clearly marketed toward kids, adult fans are still out there and it wouldn't have been difficult to balance content for both audiences. We still have the Muppets and that's good enough to a point, but considering the love and appreciation showered upon the characters by millions of fans, the movies deserve a better record of their creation.

World harmony comes from connectedness and a share in the global economy. Just as social networks modify an individual's behaviour so integration with the global economy will modify a state's behaviour. Making a strong case for optimism, controversial strategist Dr. Thomas Barnett tells Phil Windley that key priorities for the U.S.A. must be to help connect those states that are currently disconnected and to develop the capabilities to export infrastructure. Increasingly the military will be engaged in ensuring business continuity and must have the capacity to build new structures, whether as a result of military action or natural disaster, as well as take down failing states.
Expanding on the themes of his latest book (see below), Barnett says that the future 'core' states, which will make the rules and drive progress, will be Brazil, China, India and Russia. The U.S.A. has more in common, economically, with this group than with its old allies of Western Europe and Japan and increasingly alliances will arise from ecoonomic similarities rather than from socio-political bases. Connection to the core is crucial for each state's success and the core states need to develop a blueprint and infrastructure to deal with those states that cannot or will not integrate.
Thomas P.M. Barnett is a strategic planner who has worked in national security affairs since the end of the Cold War and has operated his own consulting practice (Barnett Consulting) since 1998. A New York Times-bestselling author and a nationally-known public speaker who's been profiled on the front-page of the Wall Street Journal, Dr. Barnett is in high demand within government circles as a forecaster of global conflict and an expert of military transformation, as well as within corporate circles as a management consultant and conference presenter on issues relating to international security and economic globalization. An award-winning teacher, Prof. Barnett has written for Esquire, Wired, and the Washington Post, and has been interviewed in Rolling Stone, Epoca (Brazil), and Nihon Keizai Shimbun (Japan's Nikkei News). Tom Barnett has been described by U.S. News & World Report's Michael Barone as "one of the most important strategic thinkers of our time."
Dr. Barnett is best known as the author of The Pentagon's New Map: War and Peace in the Twenty-First Century (New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 2004). Described by Washington Post columnist David Ignatius as "a combination of Tom Friedman on globalization and Karl von Clausewitz on war," the wide-ranging volume has generated an enormous amount of reaction from around the world, leading to foreign rights already being sold in Japan, Turkey and China, as well as profiles in London's Daily Telegraph, Denmark's Borsen, and Switzerland's WeltWoche. Mr. Barnett's book was likewise the subject of a Book Notes show on C-SPAN (with Brian Lamb), an On Point show on National Public Radio, and many other national TV and radio segments.
In addition to his speaking and consulting, Tom Barnett is a prolific blogger on current global events at his website www.thomaspmbarnett.com, where he counts among his regular readers representatives from all the major U.S. military commands, virtually all U.S. federal departments, numerous foreign governments, and major research and corporate entities the world over. His popular weblog has spawned a weekly newsletter based on his ideas and vision of "a future worth creating."
Tom has been a Contributing Editor for Esquire magazine since the beginning of 2005. His first major article for the magazine was the February feature, "Dear Mr. President, Here's How to Make Sense of Your Second Term, Secure Your Legacy, and, oh yeah, Create a Future Worth Living."
From 1998 through 2004, Prof. Barnett was a Senior Strategic Researcher and Professor in the Warfare Analysis & Research Department, Center for Naval Warfare Studies, U.S. Naval War College, Newport RI, where he taught and served, in a senior advisory role, with military and civilian leaders in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, Central Command, Special Operations Command, and Joint Forces Command. From November 2001 to June of 2003, Dr. Barnett was on temporary assignment as the Assistant for Strategic Futures, Office of Force Transformation (OFT), Office of the Secretary of Defense, where he worked with (then) OFT Director Vice Admiral Arthur K. Cebrowski (USN, ret.) on a cluster of strategic concepts that link change in the international security environment to the imperative of transforming U.S. military capabilities to meet future threats.
Professor Barnett has a BA (Honors) from the University of Wisconsin with a double-major in Russian Language and Literature and International Relations (emphasis U.S. Foreign Policy). Following Wisconsin, Dr. Barnett earned an AM in Regional Studies: Russia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia and a PhD in Political Science from Harvard University. His dissertation was entitled, Warsaw Pact-Third World Relations, 1968-1987: Explaining the Special Roles of Romania and East Germany. While at Harvard, he served as Research Assistant to the Director of the Russian Research Center and worked as a Teaching Fellow in the History and Government Departments.

Everything went great for the 10th edition of Techstars Startup Weekend Réunion! We welcomed 120 highly motivated participants with some very inspirational projects! 47 ideas were pitched with, as usual, a huge variety of projects – from renewable energy, special pastries, food apps to a new generation of coffins! 12 projects were selected and pitched to our jury. Needless to say, they had a tough time selecting the winners.
Our first Techstars Startup Weekend took place in 2011 in St Denis, the capital of Réunion Island. Right from the off, we built a long term partnership with a local incubator which strongly promoted us, both through their media and notoriety and through financial support. We found 10 coaches who really added value to the first projects. Then we had the chance to quickly welcome successful entrepreneurs who built nice and visible startups. Thus media were attracted, together with new sponsors, including telcos, bank and local authorities. Techstars Startup Weekend events quickly became the flagship event for 'to be' startups in Reunion.
We also got early support from the Techstars Startup Weekend team who initially came to help us organise our first events, so it was an instant success. Now, Techstars Startup Weekend is well renowned in Réunion. Our participants get a lot of traction after the event. Students and participants mention it in their resumes and it gives them a very nice story to tell!
We always have amazing sponsors who strongly promote the event, insightful coaches, prestigious jury involving known individuals here in Réunion, we also have good prizes, we fight to get fresh news from our success stories' startups to keep 'light' on them.
One advise: do what you can to have one or two success stories as quickly as possible and media, sponsors and participants will flow. This is a virtuous circle which starts with a reliable sponsor + a quick win ie a successful startup with high visibility.
We are organising two events per year which is already quite a lot of work… and fun of course! Still we have short-term plans to launch a third Techstars Startup Weekend per year, focusing on a particular vertical, probably centring around culture (art, music etc) or social impact. Thanks to everyone who has made the 10th edition of Techstars Startup Weekend Réunion possible! Check out the recap video here.

The Walls of Baghdad
"A city divided by high concrete walls, barbed wire and checkpoints; armoured columns moving through deserted evening streets lit by the glow of searchlights and emptied by official curfew and fear. This is Baghdad, seven months into the surge, and George Bush's last throw of the dice in Iraq."
"On the surface, the Iraqi capital is less overtly violent than it used to be. But for many Iraqis, the Americans have turned their land into a prison. The barriers, which have turned Baghdad into a series of ghettos, are meant to keep the bombers out, but they also keep residents penned in. People may feel safer inside their neighbourhoods, but are more wary of venturing outside them. A short journey across the city can take hours with roads blocked off and numerous checkpoints, discouraging people from visiting relations and friends and reinforcing the sense of isolation."
"Commerce, which the Americans are so keen to re-establish, now requires traders to hire different drivers for different areas, although one form of business which thrives is the levying of unofficial "taxes" by armed groups operating with little or no interference from the security forces."
"The walls, being put up by American contractors at a record speed, are formalising the break up of Baghdad. The city where Sunni, Shia and Christians once lived in comparative social amity – although not the same access to political power – is now so divided along sectarian lines that it may be impossible ever to reunify it."

Winchester RPLC plans "like GCSE project"
Campaigners have branded the Winchester RPLC plans "like GCSE project" – and say the council must go back to the drawing board.

Santiago Calatrava's dramatic glass towers have been taken out of recent consultation displays of London's sprawling Greenwich Peninsula scheme, according to a local heritage body
The Greenwich Society said the Spanish architect's Peninsula Place towers were missing from the plans presented at a consultation event this summer.
Calatrava's 130,000m² project involves replacing Foster + Partners' North Greenwich Interchange arrival hall with a towering winter garden, where visitors emerge into a 24m-tall, 152m-long avenue of slender columns supporting a glass canopy.
However, the Greenwich Society said its representatives were told at the consultation that this concept had 'been deemed to be too difficult to build, and its retail space unnecessary'.
A spokeswoman for the society told the AJ: 'We were talking to two or three people from [developer] Knight Dragon and they said this part of the development was only ever a concept and would be very difficult to build as it was. I hope to see something more practical for local people instead, there is a real need for supermarkets and a post office.'
Heritage body the Twentieth Century Society tried to save Foster's bus station from demolition but an application to secure Grade II* status for the 1998 building, alongside Alsop, Lyall and Stormer's related Underground station, was thrown out in 2017.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport said at the time that while the Foster building had an 'elegant and unusual form', it was 'reminiscent of the practice's earlier works' and 'lacked the innovation exhibited by highly graded buildings of this date and architectural idiom'.
Developer Knight Dragon added at the time that removing the existing station was part of Allies and Morrison's 2015-approved masterplan 'long before' Santiago Calatrava was commissioned to design Peninsula Place.
According to Knight Dragon, the design of a replacement interchange had been developed to anticipate increased passenger demand.
Santiago Calatrava's office, Foster + Partners and Knight Dragon have all been contacted for comment on the claims by the Greenwich Society.
Calatrava and his towers still appear as a live project on the Greenwich Peninsula website. There is no official indication that Peninsula Place has been altered or dropped.

A lot can depend on the type of ceremony you're having - for example, if you're having a Church wedding, you're going to be greatly restricted compared to a JOP or ordained friend. Your budget isn't tiny, remember that there are only three things you NEED to get married - 1) Someone to marry you, 2) A license, and 3) Someone to witness/officiate the nuptials... After that it's window dressing and gravy, but the moment you invite a guest, they MUST be hosted properly (i.e. shouldn't be expected to open their wallet during the ceremony/reception). The best way to keep the costs down for the wedding is to distinguish between a "Need" vs. a "Want" ... You WANT tall floral centerpieces towering over your guests, you NEED a table/chair for them to sit. You WANT a dress from Kleinfeld's, you NEED a dress you can afford regardless of were you purchase it. You WANT a work of art cake by Margaret Braun, you NEED a cake in your budget (Highly recommend Collette's Cakes in Chelsea Square!)... You WANT to spend $26,000. You NEED to remember you don't need to go broke planning a wedding and it's o.k. to not meet/exceed your budget. Imagine dropping your budget down by $6000 because unexpected expenses happen, this gives you a little buffer zone. It's better to go under budget than it is to go over budget!
Next, write out the real-world guest list. Often people say "100 guests" but have forgotten to actually DO the step of "Bill & Betty Bob", BillyJo & Bobby Sue - and their kids Stewy, Lucy, and Bessy, Mom & Dad, Mom & Dad, Sister and Guest, us!, then add those numbers up. You never know, you could be sitting at 60 guests or you could be sitting at 200, remember to allow for add-ons from your parents if they're helping pay for the wedding. Never forget "Ye who pays gets a say, if it's not physically in your bank account, it does NOT exist!" It happens frequently enough that people have unexpected expenses come up and can't help the BG out as planned, one bride on another board just had her (aunt) venue cancel out on her relatively close to the wedding. Stuff like that happens, as Frankie would say "BE PREPARED!"...
You may want to post this also on the local boards for suggestions. But I recommend thinking outside of the box of traditional wedding venues. Look into Restaurants that have private rooms available for rent. Also check into club halls like your local Irish-American, Italian-American or German, etc clubs or Veterans Halls (VFW). Many of them rent out their halls, and some even have caterers that they work with so it would be like a traditional reception venue. Also look into city owned facilities. I know where I live several of the cities and park systems own buildings that are very nice & can be rented out. You just have to either use one of their preferred vendors or find one of your own to bring in.
Tips to help with budget
Good luck!!!
"Thank you cards - skip the photo holding the thank you sign. You'll end up spending roughly $1-2 a thank you card with envelope for those. "@Erikan73 This is a good tip, but you could a step further and do postcard Thank Yous and Save the Dates to save on paper and postage (don't forget all the postage!!). Heck, we're doing postcard invitations (along with a Glosite wedding RSVP/website, non-Internet folks are getting more materials). Postcards.com and Vistaprint are all good options for saving on paper goods.

April, 2018
"I contacted Patricia from another state, not really expecting to be able to buy in Murfreesboro. She expertly and compassionately guided me through the process of financing and buying a townhouse from out of state.
It is hard to say what I most appreciated about Patricia. She is very knowledgeable of both real estate and the local area. She is quick to respond to phone calls, text messages, and emails. She helped me get the best price possible in a sellers market. She immediately grasped the rather unusual family situation which was the reason for the purchase, and worked well with my relative who lives in Murfreesboro.
Most surprisingly, when she looked at property with my relative she communicated to me by phone the negatives of the property as well as the positives. She took pictures of the problem areas of the property and sent them to me! I have purchased five other properties and worked with multiple agents, and always they stressed the positives, trying to make a quick sale. Because of her unusual honesty, I trusted Patricia enough to make an offer without ever having seen the property. When I did eventually see it, I was not disappointed.
Should I wish to buy or sell another property in the area, I will most definitely contact Patricia for help." Beverly

In 2017 Mercedes-Benz will bring to the market new pickup model
Next year German car brand Mercedes-Benz will present its new model in the pickup body. This is reported by the Western automobile editions. This is new segment not only for the customers but also for Mercedes car brand as well.
It is possible that the vehicle will be shown as a concept at the Paris Motor Show this autumn, and new pickup will go on sale in mid-2017. Previously there was information that new model will see the world public under the name GLT, but currently this index is not approved, therefore, it is considered that the alternative name can be X-Class.
As for the power plants, the basic version of the new Mercedes-Benz pickup has to get 2.3-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, whose power is around 187 hp. More expensive modifications will be equipped with 255-hp six-cylinder engine. The motor of the basic configuration will be mated to 6-speed manual gearbox, but 7-speeed automatic transmission 7G-Tronic will be offered as an option. By the way, these are Mercedes Vans experts who are engaged in the development of a pickup truck. Experts expect increase in sales of cars with this type of body.

Everyone of us, are often too busy chasing our wealth and dreams and forget the little blessings around us; the blessings that others give us, or the blessings that we give to others. In essence, life is the blessing itself. If we focus on being a blessing, we will find that we are always blessed in abundance.
It has already been a little bit more than a week after the Chinese New Year celebration on February 17.
For those who are still traveling back from visiting your family members, make sure that you are safe out there on your travels. Of the many reflections we have, blessings and reconciliations are few of the strongest notions.
Let's us feel ourselves with the meanings of Chinese New Year!
Follow Mary Anne as she shares her story and finds it in her heart to see the blessing in everything this Chinese New Year.
Let's appreciate what we have and keep flying high. Thank you Malaysian Airline as well as the producers (Linus Chung & Mohd Hisham Saleh) of this meaningful video.

Lollapalooza festival-goers may have a hard time capturing themselves and all the members of Metallica in one selfie shot this year.
The rise in the popularity of selfie sticks has made it easier for people take selfies with big groups of people, but festival organizers announced a ban on the product at this summer's shows.
In addition to the selfie stick, GoPro attachments, monopods and other heavy professional camera equipment is also banned, except for those with a photo wristband. The items have been singled out because they could pose safety hazards.
Lollapalooza is not the first to ban selfie sticks. The Art Institute of Chicago, New York's Museum of Modern Art and the Smithsonian museums have also given them the boot. Several tourist attractions in Europe, such as the Musee d'Orsay in Paris and Rome's Colosseum, have banned the selfie stick, too.
The full list of banned items at Lollapalooza also includes outside food or drink (except for two sealed water bottles), skateboards, scooters, pets and hiking backpacks. Lollapalooza attendees are allowed to bring umbrellas, soft-sided coolers, baby strollers, binoculars and Walkie-Talkies, however.
See the complete list of allowed and banned items here.

Wooden Floor Insulation
It is becoming more and more common for people to ask us about floor insulation. Having your wooden floor insulated not only eliminates draughts and makes the room warmer and cosier, but also saves money in the long run by cutting down on heating bills.
The bulk of our under-floor insulation work we're asked to do is carried out under old pine flooring. Although stripped pine floorboards look lovely, they have a tendency of being very draughty and cold as well. To combat this, we would always recommend filling the gaps in your floorboards with Draughtex (rubber gap filler) which could save £40 a year alone, based on a room that's 12 square meters. By adding insulation into the mix, you could potentially double that saving, as well as making the room a much more comfortable environment to be in.
If you're lucky enough to have a cellar, then the insulation process is much more straightforward. We've completed several jobs where there's a large enough gap to simply get under the floor ourselves. While it's not the most glamorous of jobs, with the dust, dirt and thick cobwebs that build up, the less of the floor that's taken up the better.
In most cases, when there's no cellar and not enough room to get under the floor ourselves, enough of the floor will need to be removed to get a breathable membrane fitted under the joists, which acts as a cradle for the insulation. We've found 140mm thick Thermafleece cosywool insulation to be the best as, on top of its superb insulation qualities, it can easily be fitted around pipes and hard to reach areas. Rigid insulation board can also be used as an alternative, but we find cosywool provides far better coverage thanks to its ability to fit into every nook and cranny.
It's very important not to block the airflow under a house that has suspended floors as this can lead to damp and dry rot, which would be a very expensive mistake.
From a budget point of view you're normally looking at around £50 per square meter to insulate, based on a 25-square meter area, but prices can vary from property to property based on how much work is involved. Once the floor is re-laid it will almost certainly need sanding and finishing, which we can do for you as well.
If you need any help or advice, give us a call on 01962 733016, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit our workshop to discuss further or arrange a no-obligation estimate for the works involved.

Marshdale Farms – 2018
"The flower crop is definitely my end of the operation, I have a background in plant science so I guess you could say I'm a huge plant nerd," Megan explained.
2018 marks the third year for Megan's flower crop, the flowers are her way of growing the family farms legacy – something that is very important to her.
You may wonder why she decided to start growing flowers, Megan wanted to find a niche that would use her education and creativity and fill a market gap in a community that is very locally minded and fresh cut flowers seemed to be the best choice to fulfill those needs.
This will be Marshdale Farms first time participating in Open Farm Day and they can't wait to showcase their beautiful flowers! Visitors will get to see all of the growing stages on a small flower farm, across the quarter acre you will see a large variety of annual and perennial flowers. Visitors will also get to see flowers in bloom, areas that have been harvested, and even the immature perennial beds – all located next to one of their hay fields
When asked why they wanted to participate in Open Farm Day Megan replied,
"Farming isn't as familiar to people as it used to be and transparency is very important to my customers. Open Farm Day can help meet those needs. Besides, I often only get to see my customers on market day! An event like this means I get a chance to visit with them and show them a bit about how local flowers are grown."
According to Megan, many people don't know that Nova Scotia is home to a growing number of small flower farms. She says this is true for all of Canada.
Did you know: This year Open Farm Day falls during the very first Canadian Flowers Week, which celebrates the fantastic flowers grown in Canada and the people who work with them!
Curious about what Megan's favourite part of Open Farm Day is?
"I love that lots of different farms get involved, so if a family is up for a road trip they can see plenty of different crops and animals all in one day."

Our family's most favorite musical is "Sweeney Todd" with Johnny Depp and Helena-Bonham Carter. Although Kate, 11, hasn't seen it, yet, we all love listening to the CD in the car and at home. For those unfamiliar with this classic (having been a musical on stage for decades), it is about a barber who is after vengeance against the man who destroyed his family, to put it mildly. Having gone a bit mental, he begins to kill his customers and baking them into meat pies. Yum. The song, 'Try the Priest,' is magical.
Every time I make pocket pies with veggie-meat, it reminds me of Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pies and I want to burst out it dance and song whilst baking.
The recipe uses the Flaky Biscuit dough for the crust, with added parsley (very easy), and a wonderful mixture of Boca burgers, minced, and broccoli in a thick, creamy gravy. If you use burgers, please remember to saute them before you use them - otherwise they gets a little mushy. The broccoli needs to be minced fine, as well, so you don't have huge chunks sticking out at all angles.
I've made these many times, and while not a low-fat food because of the Earth Balance in the dough, it sure is flaky, crispy and tasty!
Cost Breakdown
flour, Earth Balance, milk: $3
Boca, broccoli: $5
onion, garlic, mustard: $1
spices: $1
Total to make 14 pies:
