The Best Airbnbs in and Around New England to Soak Up the Foliage This Fall
For most of the year, spending a weekend gazing at trees sounds about as exciting as watching paint dry, but for a few choice weeks during the fall in certain parts of the country, it's legitimately cool. Leaf-peeping season is not only a chance to watch nature shift in real time, but also a perfect excuse to plan a getaway to the country.
New England and its surrounds are famously some of the best locales to take in the foliage -- particularly if you hit particular locales during their peak color-changing period -- but figuring out where to stay in those regions isn't always easy. Don't fret, though, we've pulled together 10 choice Airbnbs nestled in the thick of leaf-peeping territory with views that'll make taking it all in as easy as looking out the window.
A "fortress" in the mountains
Vershire, Vermont
2 guests, $104 per night
Look out over the White Mountains in neighboring New Hampshire from the wall-to-wall windows in this rustic-yet-modern open-concept spread in Vershire. When you're not relaxing inside the home's giant Great Room (which has been described as "a comic book villain's hideaway lair"), the house sits on a 6-acre property where you can explore the neighboring woods. If you're lucky, the nighttime views may even one-up those during daylight since the Milky Way frequently makes an appearance.
What guests say: "This is a little piece of heaven. Stylish, clean, sleek uncluttered lines but with just about everything you need. The main attraction for us was the peace and quiet and getting off signal. The only sounds we heard were the birds, amorous frogs and the horses next door."
A rustic retreat in the Berkshires
Lee, Massachusetts
8 guests, $255 per night
As if plucked from the pages of Architectural Digest, this stylish retreat is centrally located in the Berkshires between the towns of Stockbridge, Lenox, and Lee, serving as an ideal home base for a chill weekend away in the thick of leaf-peeping madness. With enough room to sleep eight, it's can likely accommodate your whole crew, but still feels cozy thanks to quaint touches like natural wood paneling and an indoor fireplace. When you feel like exploring, you've got plenty of options thanks to some standout nearby restaurants and hiking trails, plus museums like the Clark Art Institute and MASSMoca that are less than an hour's drive north.
What guests say: "An interior designers dream home well equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay. Great location close to all the local townships whilst offering complete peace and tranquility."
A silo cottage in the country
Tyringham, Massachusetts
2 guests, $225 per night
If a traditional home doesn't quite fit the bill for your dream weekend away, consider decamping to this one-bedroom "silo" in the Berkshires, which sits on the grounds of one of the most uniquely designed estates in the area. The space, which once served as a studio for the renowned sculptor Henry Hudson Kitson, features a canopied bed situated beneath a 35-foot high conical ceiling with "mill windows" looking out at the surrounding trees, gardens, and lily pond.
What guests say: "A truly magical place. Well preserved buildings, lush landscaped gardens, fireflies, amazing soundscapes, and a bedroom unlike any other."
Treetop views in the Vermont National Forest
Rochester, Vermont
9 guests, $205 per night
If you're looking for seclusion in the mountains, this spacious three bedroom retreat has you covered. It sits on two acres in the hills and features a huge deck that stretches the length of the entire home, providing a stunning 180-degree view of the Green Mountains (which flourish with color in September and October). Although the built-in stone wood-burning fireplace will make it hard to want to leave its confines at all, if you do feel like exploring, the quaint downtown of Rochester is just a few minutes quite literally down the road.
What guests say: "This home is absolutely incredible. Truly the middle of nowhere and so unbelievably gorgeous. Sweeping mountain views, a very well equipped kitchen, and multiple bathrooms - could we ask for anything more?"
An upscale escape in Maine
Pownal, Maine
4 guests, $199 per night
Although you don't need any excuse to visit Portland in the fall (it's particularly great just after peak tourist season), this modern post-and-beam cottage is itself worth the trip. Situated about 20 minutes from the tiny coastal city, you're close enough to the top-notch restaurants, breweries, and other fun sites in the Old Port to be convenient, but secluded enough to enjoy the tranquility of being tucked away amongst the colorful changing trees. The rustic home -- which has been described by some guests as the "perfect oasis" -- also boasts a couple standout touches like a lofted bedroom and wood stove.
What guests say: "'Can we just stay here forever?' That thought ran through my mind countless times whilst staying at the cottage. I have enjoyed many vacations and yet this little 2 day getaway in the cottage tops them all. We will be back soon enough and would one million percent recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area!"
A glass-walled cabin in the Hudson Valley
Hudson, New York
4 guests, $350 per night
Be at one with nature in this stunner of a cabin in the Hudson Valley, which is designed with nearly wall-to-wall windows and sliding glass doors on two sides. The two-bedroom minimalist home is shrouded in the woods up a long winding driveway, and enjoys sweeping western views -- which should pop with color if you hit the region at the right time. Although the whole place is meant to serve as an extension of its surroundings, the interior is worthy of plenty attention on its own thanks to its mid-century modern decor. If you feel like scoping out the area, it's steps from popular hiking trails and also not far from charming nearby towns like Hudson, New York and Lenox, Massachusetts.
What guests say: "The Glass Cabin is of a dream. Beautiful, other-worldly, peaceful. One of the best experiences I've had."
A historic schoolhouse perched in the Green Mountains
Bennington, Vermont
6 guests, $188 per night
Looking out over a sprawling fourth-generation organic farm, this newly renovated 800 square foot two bedroom schoolhouse gets insane views of the Green Mountains from literally every direction. Take in the vista from the deck with your morning coffee, or sit by the fire pit and watch the sun go down. If you feel upping the relaxation ante, there's also an adjacent deck equipped with both an on-site sauna and hot tub, either of which makes for a spectacular star-gazing spot at night.
What guests say: "Amazing place -- book it now and however amount of time you are pondering about staying -- add at least one more day! They have put a lot of thought and work into making this home truly feel like a home away from home for guests -- many thoughtful touches and the views are divine."
An award-winning countryside bungalow
Phoenicia, New York
2 guests, $100 per night
For those prioritizing peace and quiet over space, set your sights on this modest outpost in the Catskills. The cozy bungalow sits on a leafy hillside surrounded by rural farmland where you're likely to spot baby goats, cows, and horses milling about. There are countless hiking and walking trails nearby to take in the views, and a charming fire pit to wind down near after a long day of glorious fresh air.
What guests say: "The house itself is truly picture perfect and was very well appointed for our weekend stay. I'll definitely miss my new friends, the cows and goats, who were super friendly and curious. The locations is great--a five minute walk into town and maybe half an hour to surrounding hikes/towns/mountains."
A chalet in the sky overlooking Mt. Washington
Bartlett, New Hampshire
8 guests, $103 per night
Step out onto the back patio of this mountainside condo and you'll come face to face with a jaw-dropping view of nearby Mount Washington (the highest peak in the northeastern US) jutting out above rolling hills that appear sprinkled with burnt oranges and reds during peak foliage season. It's also a good spot for groups, accommodating up to eight guests who are free to use the nearby clubhouse to play tennis, hit the jacuzzi, or swim in the indoor/outdoor pool.
What guests say: "When entering Chalet in the Sky you feel as if you're in the clouds. The view is spectacular and having all the big windows allows you to truly enjoy your surroundings."
A modern cabin in the Catskills
Kerhonkson, New York
4 guests, $215 per night
Described as "small but efficient," it'd be tough to feel cooped up in this quiet cabin considering its sweeping Catskill views and a deck that essentially functions as a second living room (just imagine sipping your morning coffee or winding down with some wine out there). It's a cozy spot that pairs country charm with modern amenities (indoor/outdoor Sonos speakers and a Nest thermostat-controlled fireplace), and also has everything you need to cook up a storm, including a grill. Plus, if you're in the mood to get up close and personal with the outdoors, it's only a short drive to popular hiking spots like Vernooy Kill Falls.
What guests say: "This is a wonderful little hide-away, perfect for a 'time out,' away from everything. It's exactly as described, very stylish, in the middle of beautiful nature with gorgeous views and with complete silence (apart from the bird song)."

It looks pretty good, however the premise of the storyline is sort of a huge turn off for me.
I honestly dont care if some super weapon was made, or time was messed with. North Korea invading and occupying America is complete bullshit.
I can understand china, russia, or heck even some large middle eastern country invading us in a future setting, but North Korea? Lolz?
Considering the continuing deterioration of North Korea, I really dont think they could ever do much in the future.
I really hope the gameplay, and storyline will do well to explain this nonsense.
Oh and I found this hilarious quote from some discussions that made me laugh.
"I dont think I could play a game where the US actually got invaded by any world power, unless they were aided by like Satan or aliens, because its too ridiculous."

We are using an old version of OFTP Server (2013, build 89). We have recently started getting warnings that "Key1 will expire 10.august 2019". Key1 is a self signed certificate and I guess it is not used in production, but I need to make sure the system will not stop working. Can we safely ignore the warning? We are postponing OFTP upgrade as long as we can, why change a working system, right?
I created a new self-signed…
I created a new self-signed certificate yesterday and tried updating the partner using the old (soon to expire cert) with the new one. Worked flawlessly in our case.
How did you create and…
How did you create and replace this? We have the same issue and expiration date. I normally dont work on this environment but was asked to find out.
Sorry for the late reply…
Sorry for the late reply Clay, I didn't receive any email notification about your reply so I never knew about it until now. Anyway, hope you sorted it out. The option to create an new self signed certificate is in the OFTP2Client GUI, under "Certificate management (SSL)" -> Tools -> Generate new key (self signed).
I'm not really sure if even need to do this, it probably depends on if you are encrypting or signing your outgoing files. In that case it also depends on if your partner will trust your self-signed certificate (which they probably wont). Then you will have to buy a new code signing certificate and import that into OFTP2Client.
Anyway, I selected the newly created self-signed certificate for all 4 keys under "Partner" -> select name of your local partner -> Select "Security" tab.

Valladolid, June 24, 2010. - The winery located at the heart of the D.O. Rueda continues to strengthen its sales abroad. Following Japan and Malaysia, markets loyal to the brand, Cuatro Rayas now begins to distribute its wines in China.
One of the most important importers in that country has selected Cuatro Rayas Viñedos Centenarios as the Verdejo wine to be offered in haute cuisine restaurants in Shanghai, Beijing, and Guanzhou. The winery thus becomes one of the few of the denomination with a presence in the Chinese market.
Today, Cuatro Rayas is present in over 35 countries, including United States, Germany, Russia, and Japan. According to Guillermo Perez, the winery's Commercial Director, "the next steps in the Asian market are centered in India, South Korea, and Taiwan, countries where negotiations are presently very advanced". In this fashion, Cuatro Rayas also contributes to the growth of the D.O. Rueda, supporting the plan for internationalization currently underway.

This lunation true anomaly is ∠296.9°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠322.3°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
9 days after point of apogee on 12 July 2020 at 19:27 in ♈ Aries. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 2 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 25 July 2020 at 04:54 in ♎ Libra.
Moon is 372 004 km (231 153 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 2 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 368 367 km (228 893 mi).
3 days after its ascending node on 18 July 2020 at 12:33 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 8 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 31 July 2020 at 09:32 in ♐ Sagittarius.
3 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
3 days after previous North standstill on 19 July 2020 at 11:51 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠24.069°. Next 9 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-24.087° in the next southern standstill on 1 August 2020 at 08:47 in ♑ Capricorn.
After 12 days on 3 August 2020 at 15:59 in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.

The cloud computing era represents a significant shift in relationships in the information technology field. This shift will raise many antitrust questions, among other legal issues. Many antitrust questions will not become apparent until cloud computing business models become better established, but some issues are readily apparent even at the threshold. For instance:
- After a customer selects a particular cloud provider, can the customer be "locked in" to particular products and services within that cloud?
- When will a cloud provider be permitted to exclude other service providers or software providers from participating in a cloud?
This article provides some preliminary thoughts on these questions and considerations that should be taken into account by organizations providing and considering purchasing cloud computing services. Although definitive answers to these questions always require a specific factual context, the discussion below identifies some fundamental antitrust principles that apply and may help prospective cloud purchasers understand their rights and avoid potential traps by negotiating prudent contract terms when entering into a cloud computing arrangement. The key for prospective cloud purchasers (i.e., users of cloud computing services) is to obtain complete and accurate disclosures of a cloud provider's after-market policies prior to the initial decision to enter the cloud. After the initial purchase of cloud computing services, customers may find that their bargaining power is dramatically reduced by switching, compatibility, interoperability or even early termination costs.
A Starting Point: Power in the Cloud Services Market
Antitrust questions that are raised, and the range of possible answers that should be considered, will depend in significant part on (a) the definition of the "relevant market" in which a given cloud provider competes and (b) the determination whether the cloud provider has the ability to influence prices or output in that market as a whole—an ability referred to as "market power." A relevant market encompasses all products that prospective purchasers in a particular geographic area would consider reasonable substitutes for each other. The relevant market includes not just existing substitutes, but also those that might enter the market within a relatively short time in response to a sustained rise in prices. Antitrust law places many more limitations on the activities of companies deemed to have power within a relevant market than on the activities of companies that lack such power.1
Application of these basic antitrust concepts suggests that, at least at this very early stage in the development of cloud computing, it would be very challenging to prove that a cloud provider had "market power" in a putative market for the sale of cloud computing services. First, the market is arguably worldwide: the very idea of portable cloud services implies that a cloud provider in Canada could compete with a cloud provider in Australia for customers in the United States. Second, at least for now, the relevant market arguably cannot be limited to the provision of "cloud computing services" alone because for most companies and most business purposes "old fashioned" hardware and software systems and third party hosting arrangements, though lacking many of the benefits afforded by cloud computing, still remain reasonable substitutes for clouds.
Third, the number of potential new entrants into the hypothetical market for cloud computing services is still uncertain, and could prove to be very large.2 Cumulatively, these factors suggest that until cloud computing develops a bit further, the provision of cloud services will be a market with many actual and potential competitors, reducing the chances of particular providers attaining real market power.
One possible exception to this could be hypothetical future clouds that are explicitly focused on delivering products or services already powerful in their fields, such as clouds for Apple iTunes, Microsoft Office, or the Google search engine. These cloud scenarios may not remain hypothetical for long.3 Enterprising plaintiffs might assert that the cloud providers have market power in putative markets for the provision of these specific cloud services, just as they might assert such power independent of the cloud context. But even for distinctive examples like these, it is not clear that the cloud context will change the power analysis much from the pre-cloud era, and in fact the cloud context may be dilutive: a new spreadsheet program seeking to compete with Excel, for example, might have an easier time doing so "in the clouds" than it would have in the past, where placement on "traditional" desktop and laptop hardware was a prerequisite for entry.
After-Market Analysis: Power Within A Cloud
A more likely scenario in which cloud providers may face credible near-term allegations of market power is in "aftermarkets" for products and services within their own clouds. The antitrust concept at work here is that there could be separate markets for the "provision of cloud computing capabilities" and the "provision of services or software products within a cloud." A cloud computing vendor might face substantial competition from other clouds in a "primary market" where the customer chooses among various cloud providers, while at the same time facing little or no competition in "after-markets" for selling particular services to customers already in its cloud.
The possibility of cloud service providers exerting power within their clouds is certainly not limited to services involving already well-established brand names. Cloud computing customers may come to value or require any number of after-market services in their clouds, and cloud providers may attempt to dictate or limit customer choices with respect to such services. For instance, a cloud provider might insist that any cloud customer utilizing its data storage services also purchase and utilize the provider's own proprietary virus detection software. Would such a limitation injure the cloud customers, or other potential vendors of virus detection software, in a way that the antitrust laws might redress?
The well-known Supreme Court case of Eastman Kodak Co. v. Image Technical Services, 504 U.S. 451 (1992), is the most authoritative example of after-market antitrust analysis, and the principles it articulated remain highly instructive. Eastman Kodak is worth considering in detail because it provides a virtual checklist of potential aftermarket risks that companies purchasing cloud computing services should be mindful of when they choose a vendor.
When Is An After-Market A Relevant Market?
Lock-ins, switching costs, and information barriers.
In Eastman Kodak, the plaintiffs were a group of independent servicers (ISOs) of sophisticated copiers made by Kodak. Kodak faced strong competition and lacked market power in the primary market for the sale of copiers. At the same time, Kodak faced only no competition in the after-market for the sale of replacement parts for Kodak copiers (which parts were only available from Kodak or its licensees) and only modest competition from the ISOs for the sale of repair services. When Kodak attempted to further increase its share of the services aftermarket by selling replacement parts only to customers who also purchased repair services from Kodak, the ISOs sued Kodak under monopolization and tying theories.
The Supreme Court held that the ISOs' proposed relevant after-market for the servicing of Kodak copiers was sufficient to survive summary judgment. The Court emphasized that the determination of the relevant market must be made from the perspective of a consumer (here, the purchasers of Kodak copiers), and should include only those products or services that consumers view as interchangeable.
Kodak argued that there was no true distinction between the primary market for copiers and the alleged aftermarkets for parts and services. Kodak's theory was that consumers could engage in "lifecycle pricing" analysis, and thus the costs of its parts and services policies would inform the consumer's primary purchase decision of what copier to buy. Consequently, Kodak contended that its lack of power in the primary product market should end the issue as a matter of law.
The Supreme Court did not find this persuasive. It concluded instead that Kodak's theory, "although perhaps intuitively appealing, may not accurately explain the behavior of the primary and derivative markets for complex durable goods" because of information barriers and switching costs. The Court observed that the information needed to engage in lifecycle pricing of Kodak copiers was difficult or impossible to acquire at the time of purchase, and in any event was subject to change during the lifespan of the copier. Thus, the court viewed the initial purchase decision as separate from subsequent decisions to purchase parts or servicing.
Once a customer had made the substantial capital investment in purchasing a Kodak copier, the cost of switching to another copier would be quite high. Thus, Kodak customers were effectively "locked-in" to the parts and servicing prices (and price increases) imposed by Kodak. The Court concluded that "the relevant [service] market from the Kodak equipment owner's perspective is composed only of those companies that service Kodak machines," and that the ISOs were therefore entitled to a trial on the question of whether Kodak abused its power in that market.
Lessons of Eastman Kodak
Eastman Kodak teaches several valuable lessons for prospective purchasers of cloud services who wish to protect their interests (and to do so with less cost than a protracted antitrust suit). First, the switching costs for corporate customers who purchase cloud service are likely to be substantial, and every prospective purchaser should carefully evaluate whether these costs will be high enough to effectively create a "lock-in" with their cloud provider. For example, customers should consider:
- Whether the cloud offers specialized software or services that, once adopted by the customer, would be difficult to obtain from another source
- How large an investment of time and money will be required to train employees to use the cloud's user interface and software
- How quickly and at what cost could data stored in the cloud be retrieved and placed in another cloud or on the customer's own storage systems
- What data security concerns would be implicated and what notifications might be required if the company later decided to move its data to a different cloud
Second, if switching costs will be high enough to create a lock-in effect once a particular cloud is selected, prospective purchasers need to obtain as much information as they can before they purchase cloud services about how the cloud service provider will handle after-market services. Prospective purchasers should press a cloud service provider, at a minimum, to:
- Identify all software/services that are or might be included in the price of cloud services
- Explain its policies regarding customers' right to disaggregate services that it does not want
- Identify any software/services that are mandatory
- Explain its policies regarding customers' rights to add or substitute the software/services of providers of their own choosing, including providers who may provide software or service competing directly with software/services of the cloud provider
- Explain its policies regarding future price changes (and perhaps whether a long-term price agreement is available, if that is otherwise in the business interest of the customer)
A customer that takes these steps may reduce its chances of being taken advantage of in after-markets for cloud services.
Addressing Misconduct In After-Markets
What if the prophylactic steps described above fail, and a cloud provider adopts policies in after-markets that its existing customers dislike or that exclude competitors? Litigation based on Eastman Kodak-type theories would be an option for customers, as well as for potentially competitive service providers in cloud services aftermarkets who believe, like the ISOs in Eastman Kodak, that they are being harmed. In such a setting, a plaintiff would need to claim that the cloud provider's conduct unreasonably impaired competition in a relevant market in some fashion, not just that it injured the plaintiff in particular.
There are many antitrust theories that an after-market plaintiff might employ, of course, but two of the most likely would be tying claims and exclusive dealing claims. A full discussion of how these theories might apply to cloud computing fact patterns would be premature, but set forth below are a few preliminary thoughts on each.
Tying in after-markets
To bring a tying claim, a plaintiff must show that there are two separate products, that the defendant has "tied" them by conditioning the sale of one on the purchase of the other, and that the defendant has market power in the tying product. See generally Jefferson Parish Hospital Dist.
No. 2 v. Hyde, 466 U.S. 2 (1984). Tying claims are a natural fit for after-markets, where the seller of the primary product often has a large share of after-market products and services, too. In the Eastman Kodak case, Kodak allegedly tied the sale of replacement parts to the concurrent purchase of Kodak's repair services, which allegedly had the effect of preventing customers from dealing with the plaintiff ISOs.
As already noted, a similar scenario could arise in the cloud context if a cloud provider insisted that it would only sell its data storage services to those of its cloud customers who also purchase the provider's own proprietary virus detection software. A cloud provider would have a much better chance of defending such a policy if it were disclosed to customers prior to their entry into the cloud—with such facts, a cloud provider might be able to convince a court that the virus detection software was not "tied" to anything but was simply part of the original package of services that the customer knowingly chose to purchase. If this policy were adopted after customers were already "locked-in" to the cloud, however, the analysis might proceed in a manner similar to Eastman Kodak. That is, if the cloud provider were deemed to have market power in the after-market for the sale of data storage service within its own cloud, conditioning the sale of that service on the purchase of other products or services might expose the provider to an antitrust trial in which the anticompetitive injuries (if any) caused by this policy would be evaluated.4
Exclusive dealing in after-markets
Exclusive deals between cloud providers and particular product or service vendors are also a foreseeable source of conflict. Suppose our hypothetical were altered slightly, and instead of tying distinct products together, a cloud provider announced to existing locked-in customers that it had reached an agreement with another firm (say, Symantec) to be the exclusive virus detection software vendor for the cloud. Cloud customers need not purchase Symantec's software at all, but if they want to deploy virus detection software in the cloud, it must be Symantec's. Would cloud customers or competing virus detection software vendors have an antitrust claim based on this new policy?
Exclusive dealing agreements are frequently lawful, but they can violate antitrust laws if they foreclose competitors' access to a substantial share—some courts have suggested 40 percent is in the right ballpark—of the relevant market for their products. This suggests that Symantec's competitors would be unlikely to have a viable claim based on the facts above. No single cloud, at least in the near term, could come close to containing such a large share of the market for the sale of virus detection software.
As to the cloud customers, a threshold question, again, is whether the exclusivity was pre-announced. If IBM offers cloud services and announces from the outset that only IBM software products will be permitted in the cloud, it would be difficult to understand a subsequent claim by a customer that they were harmed by this exclusivity policy. A customer that wants to use Microsoft software should pick a different cloud. If the cloud vendor had reserved a contractual right to control software within the cloud, similar logic might apply. But if cloud customers are already "locked in" and are taken by surprise by an exclusive deal, the analysis might be different. Much like the copier purchasers in Eastman Kodak, for a locked-in cloud customer, competition in the relevant after-markets for cloud services consists of the products and services that the cloud provider allows to operate in the cloud. If the cloud provider reached an agreement to exclude competition in those markets, the locked-in customers might have a plausible claim for antitrust injuries (higher prices, reduced quality) resulting from the deal.
Prospective cloud services purchasers need to protect themselves by seeking complete and accurate disclosures of a cloud provider's after-market policies prior to the initial decision to enter the cloud—or to contract with a particular provider. Ideally, purchasers who anticipate a lock-in effect, similar to long term outsourcing contracts, should negotiate for terms that limit the ability of the cloud provider to change the rules of the cloud service offerings and pricing in the middle of the contract term. After the initial purchase of cloud computing services, customers may find that their bargaining power is dramatically reduced by the switching costs they may need to incur to both get out of the existing relationship and migrating to a new one—whether in whole or in part. Although many aspects of the cloud computing industry and its players are still in their infancy in terms of technology and economic models, the well-established principles of antitrust law that are increasingly being enforced by governments around the world still very much apply and will likely have a decisive role in how the industry ultimately unfolds both in the short and long term.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – July 11, 2018 - America's Public Television Stations (APTS) president and CEO Patrick Butler issued the following statement today:
"America's Public Television Stations are grateful to the House Appropriations Committee for providing level funding of $445 million for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) for Fiscal Year 2021, as well as level funding of $20 million in FY 2019 to support public television's interconnection and infrastructure needs, and level funding of $27.7 million in FY 2019 for Ready To Learn, a competitive grant program at the Department of Education that supports public television's essential work -- on-air, online and on-the-ground -- in early childhood education.
"The broad bipartisan support on the committee for these funds constitutes an encouraging vote of confidence in public television's work in education, public safety and civic leadership in hundreds of American communities. These federal funds are essential to local public television stations' public service missions and to ensuring that everyone everywhere in America has access to these vital services.
"With these funds, public television helps millions of preschool children get ready to learn in school and succeed in life, and supports two million teachers who educate 40 million K-12 students in American classrooms every day. Public television content created through Ready To Learn grants has been proven to help close the achievement gap between children from low-income families and their more affluent peers.
"With these funds, public television delivers essential public safety services, providing the backbone for presidential communications with the American people in times of national emergency, linking local law enforcement and first responder agencies with one another and with the public, and partnering with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to use public television's broadcast signal to enhance public safety communications through datacasting.
"And with these funds, public television serves as the "C-SPAN" of State governments, hosts candidate debates at every level of the ballot, and produces thousands of hours of programming on local public affairs, history and culture for America's hometowns.
"We are especially thankful for the leadership of Chairman Frelinghuysen and Ranking Member Lowey, and Subcommittee Chairman Cole and Ranking Member DeLauro, in producing this positive result and keeping faith with the overwhelming majority of Americans, across the political spectrum, who support federal funding for public television. We are encouraged that this bipartisan congressional support continues to grow year by year, and we will do our best to earn this support every day in service to America's communities."
About APTS
America's Public Television Stations (APTS) is a nonprofit membership organization ensuring a strong and financially sound public television system and helping member stations provide essential public services in education, public safety and civic leadership to the American people.

How amazing is that weather?! Definitely a day for a road trip. I just wanted to create a short 'n' sweet post about my new hair. (Not that I'm vain for anything!) I haven't had the chance to properly add a picture of it due to the wedding.
I got my dip dye done on Thursday and I absolutely love it. I wanted a chocolate-brown base for my all over colour. Originally, I wasn't really sure what colour to get for the dip dye but after a consultation with my hairdresser, we decided on this stunning warm copper colour.
I also got a cut, which was badly needed. I'm thinking of adding more copper into it next time. It's the start of something new now, every girl needs a change every once in a while.
Hope you all like it. Would love some feedback about it, all thoughts on it are welcome! Have a great day in the sun!

Letter to the editor: Promote sustainable agricultural practices
November 15, 2017
As corporate farms expand, small farmers are pushed aside in favor of cash crop growers subsidized by the U.S. Farm Bill. While the USDA predicts net agricultural income will increase this year, individual farmers' debt will increase and household income will remain level after a 6-percent drop in 2015. How can we, as individual students, community members and voters, give small farmers the support they need to encourage the growing of crops that can sustainably feed our fellow humans?
Sustainable agriculture, defined as food produced by ethical methods that can be repeated for centuries without negative environmental consequences, should be prioritized. Our congressional representative, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, needs to be held accountable not to the agribusinesses that fund her campaigns, but to the citizens that vote her in.
Subsidies that currently protect only corn and dairy large-scale growers can be used to also support small-scale farmers who are applying the latest information in sustainability in order to grow responsible, nutritious food. Furthermore, we need to take action that helps farmers trapped in the corporate system transition back to sustainable methods.
As WSU community members, we can take immediate action. Contact or donate to the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, call McMorris Rodgers and participate in on-campus organizations that work to promote sustainability. Let's join our land-grant university at the forefront of this issue. Without reform on multiple levels, our farmers will undoubtedly continue to suffer. Truly, this is a cause that could not be more immediate for our region.

Parents are welcome to visit our school. All visitors must report to the office on arrival at school to sign in and receive a badge. If you wish to visit your child's classroom, please arrange a time and date with the teacher. This allows the teacher to tell the children about your visit, which tends to lessen the disruption to classroom routines. Classroom instructional time cannot be used for parent/teacher conferences. Any time during school hours a visitor/parent enters the school, he/she must first report to the office.
Immunization screening is a condition of attendance in DoDEA. Sponsors will be provided with DoDEA Form 21942.0-M-F1, 07 Jun 06, DoDEA Certificate of Immunization, at the time of registration. Children will not be allowed to start school without the appropriate immunizations or legal waiver thereto. Once completed, the form will be kept on file with the child's school records. This form is only required at the time of initial enrollment of the child.
Prior to enrollment, children are required to have the basic and age appropriate immunizations: Varicella, Hepatitis B, Polio, Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR), and Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus (DPT). They must have at least 3 doses, one of which must be after the fourth birthday. (Diphtheria and tetanus immunizations are then required every 10 years. Pertussis is not required after 4 years of age.) The Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine and Diptheria Toxoids & Acellular Pertussis Vaccine (TDAP) are required of the 11/12 age group.
If a student needs to leave school at any time during the school day, certain procedures must be followed. If you are aware ahead of time that your child will be leaving school, please send a note to your child's teacher explaining the reason, time and person picking up the child if it is not you. At the designated time (even if you have written the note) you must come to the school office to sign out your child and receive a slip to give to the teacher when you pick up your child from the classroom. Under no circumstances are you to pick up your child without coming first to the office. The office is accountable for the whereabouts of every student during school time.
The school must be notified if someone other than the parent/guardian is picking up your child. The office will not authorize release of the student unless the parent/guardian has written a note, verbally notified the school, or has the adult designated as an emergency contact. In such cases, ID will be requested.
When returning to school from an appointment, you must sign your child back into school. Your child will then be given a re-entry permit to turn into his/her teacher. Please do not return your child directly to the classroom.
Children who leave school early after 2 pm will not be logged as absent. If a child leaves school before 11 am and does not return, he/she will be registered absent for the full day. If your child leaves school after 11 and does not return, he/she will have a recorded half day absence.
A child not in the classroom at 0830 is considered tardy. If your child is tardy or returning from an appointment, you must bring the child to the office and sign him/her in. They will be given a class re-entry permit explaining the reason for being late. This will be turned in to the teacher. Students arriving after 0930 are coded as absent for a half-day. A child leaving prior to 1400 is coded as absent for a half day. Mid- day appointments causing a child to miss more than one hour of instructional time get coded as a half-day absence.
DoDEA enforces a no weapons policy. Students and parents are hereby notified that possession of weapons (see 'Weapons' section below) or replicas of weapons can result in expulsion from school.
In addition to weapons, students are not allowed to bring knives, matches, lighters or other dangerous objects to school. Toys, electronic devices, trading cards, chains, (even on wallets or keys) CD's and water guns should not be brought, as they tend to distract children from their learning tasks. Possession of tobacco in any form and alcohol will not be tolerated. Gum is not allowed in school. This list is not all-inclusive. If you have any doubt about bringing an article to school, consult the school office. Nuisance items, which are dangerous to the safety of others or have the potential to cause damage to personal or school property such as fireworks, smoke & stink bombs, eggs and shaving cream will be confiscated and not returned. When appropriate these items will be given to the Security Police. Prohibited items will be confiscated and released only to the sponsor.
It should be noted that possession or use of a weapon or prohibited items on DoD property is a crime and will be reported to security officials. Disciplinary action may include suspension or expulsion. DoDEA supports a no tolerance policy for weapon possession.
It is the responsibility of parents to notify the school before 9:00 AM any time your child will be/is absent. The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) educational program is organized on the assumption that students will attend school regularly and punctually. Students may not leave the classroom or school grounds without permission. Regular attendance at school is critically important. The purpose of this action is to ensure the safety of the child, establish patterns of good attendance, and to ensure that students and educational programs have an opportunity to be successful. Children who are taught at home and school that punctuality and attendance are behaviors expected of responsible citizens not only do better in school, but also learn a life skill that serves them well in later years in the adult world. Attendance is taken each morning and entered into a computer program by 0900 hours daily. At that time, if a reported absence is unexcused, the office will call the parents that morning to make certain that the student is fine and accounted for. For any absence, a signed, written note from the parent of the student is needed to consider the absence "excused", without a note from the parent, the child's absence is recorded as "unexcused" by DoDEA regulation:
To report your child(ren)'s absences please email: firstname.lastname@example.com by 9:00 AM.
The Policy Team of OPLP administers and operates the DoDEA Issuance Program, the Issuance Focal Point Working Group, and facilitates DoD-level issuance coordination for DoDEA.

Laibach – Laibach
Regular price
Label: ŠKUC – ULP 1600
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album
Country: Yugoslavia
Released: 27 Apr 1985
Genre: Electronic
Style: Industrial
Muscle-bound industrial cuts from controversial Yugoslavian (present day Slovenian) outfit Laibach with their '85 self-titled LP. This one lays out heavy, rugged rhythms with hard percussion and dark gothic undertones, recalling their fellow Ljubljana residents Borghesia and seminal EBM pioneers Front 242, also CHBB / DAF, 23 Skidoo etc. A little online dig for back-info on this lot is currently proving far too much to digest here for a Monday morning, but seems their use of totalitarian / nationalistic imagery saw them banned / heavily censored in their homeland, and allegedly they were the first western group to play in North Korea (?). Your choice if you want to dive deeper into this one. (Vinyl VG+, Sleeve VG ((slight ring-wear)), with Insert).

It appears that 'Game of Thrones' has filled an important role for the final season…
When last we heard about Euron Greyjoy leaving King's Landing, Cersei Lannister informed her brother/lover Jamie that he was actually on a mission to ferry a fighting force known as the Golden Company back to the shores of Westeros to help battle against Daenerys Targaryen, her two dragons, the Unsullied and a Dothraki horde that reportedly reached more than 100,000 men.
Now it appears we're going to meet the Golden Company in the final season of 'Game of Thrones' with a bit of casting news that was revealed this week.
According to Watchers on the Wall, German actor Marc Rissmann has been cast in the role of Harry Strickland, the leader of the Golden Company, who will appear in at least two episodes of the final season of 'Game of Thrones'
Rissman has appeared in numerous television series over the years including 'The Last Kingdom' and 'Into the Badlands'.
In the books, Harry is a portly man who doesn't look much like a warrior at all and in fact many believe him to be a coward, but as the former paymaster for the troop, he takes over when the previous leader is killed. Now Harry leads the sell swords as they fight battles for money and their latest benefactor is the queen in Westeros.
It will be interesting to see how the Golden Company plays into this final season considering Cersei is hiring them to fight against Daenerys, but it's possible their allegiances will be tested even with all the gold being paid to them by the Iron Bank in Braavos. Historically (in the books), the Golden Company was founded by Aegor Rivers, who was a legitimized bastard of Aegon IV Targaryen and the brother to Brynden Rivers aka the Three Eyed Raven.
Aegor's loyalties were with his half-brother Daemon Blackfyre — another legitimized bastard — who led an uprising against King Daeron II Targaryen. They were eventually defeated, which led Aegor to leave Westeros before eventually founding the Golden Company. It's possible that the Golden Company still has some loyalty to House Targaryen and perhaps that will lead to Cersei's undoing.
Either way, the Golden Company are headed to Westeros with Harry Strickland leading the way.

What's Your Financial Personality and Horoscope?
When it comes to personal finances, some are born under a lucky star. For the rest of us destined to make or break our own fortunes, our choices portend what our futures will hold.
It's a sign of the times that so many people are careless in money matters. Nearly half of today's workers live paycheck to paycheck. Even many earning six-figure salaries have nothing left over at the end of each month. Living in the moment has become today's new doctrine. Whatever unexpected financial misfortunes may loom ahead go blithely ignored. Saving for retirement is considered unfashionable.
What's Your Financial Personality?
Is this form of bravado a result of nature or nurture? Is a person's level of comfort or discomfort with living on the financial edge pre-ordained by the stars? If so, what financial sign were you born under? What characteristics do you represent when it comes to handling your money?
Look up your own financial personality. Are your financial affairs in order, or are you a happy-go-lucky spender, swiping your credit card with abandon? Would you be better off overcoming your natural tendencies toward money (mis)management, or are you a model of financial stability?
Which Financial Horoscope Best Describes You?
Spendthrift: You earn decent money, but you think of every raise received as more money to spend. You have difficulty saving for the future or putting anything away in case of a possible layoff. You're unwilling to cut back on expenses in any way, and burn through everything you make.
Outlook: Born under the star sign "Reckless," symbolized by a warrior lighting a dollar bill on fire, you must dampen your urge to spend. Seek ways to cut costs -- from eliminating your landline to passing up that second glass of wine. Spendthrifts should download the app, Stash, and observe how investing even as little as $5 each month adds up over time.
Gold Digger: Your idea of a savings plan is landing a wealthy companion who's willing to take you on as an expense. Meanwhile, you spend beyond your means to rub elbows with the well-to-do in hopes of meeting such a person.
Get The Latest From InnerSelf
Outlook: With Jupiter in your second house (which you think of as your future country house), you have a predilection for seeing a hedge fund manager in your future. But what if he or she never arrives to whisk away your debt?
Take charge of your own financial situation now. Start by paying off the most expensive debt first. Then pay off the second-most expensive debt, and then the third. If you do meet your hedge fund manager, he or she will be impressed by your financial shrewdness; and if you never do, at least you won't have "dug" yourself into a hole from which you can't emerge.
Squanderer: Any windfall that befalls you is quickly blown on an extravagant dinner, piece of expensive clothing or impulsive outing. Why not?, you ask yourself, when things are going your way today? Don't you deserve to live it up once in awhile? You can't resist splurging on an indulgence when there's any extra cash at hand.
Outlook: You see "Rising Signs" everywhere you look. Your credibility with your boss is on the rise, and you look forward to more exalted titles in your future. But what about now?
Instead of throwing away every spare penny on frills and follies, overcome your proclivity for lavish spending. Arrive at a realistic amount that you can put away each month. Stash your accumulated savings in an investment with a good rate of return. Gradually, diversify your holdings so that you'll be covered in any contingency.
Swindler: You've maxed out multiple credit cards and borrowed from your close friends and family. But instead of putting the money toward a promising new project or worthwhile investment, it's funding your self-indulgent lifestyle.
Outlook: Beware, Big Swindler: your credit score is in Retrograde. You live under a fire sign that could easily ignite: bad karma, not to mention your creditors, will soon be on your trail.
Frittering away borrowed money is the pinnacle of irresponsibility. Immediately put yourself on a starvation diet when it comes to all but the most necessary expenses. Think of creative ways to still have fun, such as hosting a "swap the threads you no longer wear" party with your friends. It's a good way to accumulate new clothes without having to spend a dime.
Pragmatist: You approach your finances by gazing far into the future. You know that you won't reach your goals without first paying down your debt. Still, you take advantage of your company's 401(k) plan and any other opportunities for wealth building. When you finally do achieve a surplus, you steer it into an intelligent retirement plan or other savings.
Outlook: Congratulations, Pragmatist! Of all the star signs in the financial horoscope, your future shines brightest. With your down-to-earth stability, it's not in your nature to spend with abandon or squander your hard-earned savings. Even as others orbiting around treat themselves to heedless and impulsive purchases, you stay true to your practical element. Unwavering in your resolve to build a solid financial foundation, you are destined to live within your means and retire with dignity.

Kick-Start your Rent&Ride Business with a Car Rental Script
"There can be no doubt that the transportation sector is the most critical sector of our economy" – Robert Brady
Transit industry is globally known and treated as one of the major market sectors. It has a direct influence on our day-to-day routines, work life, and our economy as well. Since being alongside human history till the origin, it is being considered as one among the stable industry. As the population rises, the demand has exploded, this has set the scene for many business entrepreneurs to join up, inspired very few to define their own unique business path.

When we consider the car rental market in the US alone, the total number of consumers have crossed 75.14 million just 12 months prior to spring 2017. This figure shows the huge potential of this business. Things in countries like India are not different as well. Car rental market in India is advancing rapidly at a rate of around 12% and is expected to be worth around USD 15 billion within next 5 years.

Put your Car Rental Business in Motion with an Efficient Car Renting Platform
Unlike old times, starting a business is different as for now. The great digital transformation has put forward a set of new norms and standards for businesses. Businesses now not only have to focus on conventional practices but also have to adopt advanced digital strategies. More than half of the population have proven digital presence, thus and so the relevancy of an online car rental platform remains unquestioned.
Getting started with developing a car rental portal
Developing a car rental software from the scratch is not the easiest task to finish. It takes great effort, time and resources to succeed. One should gather a great deal of knowledge about the business models, revenue generation streams and user types to get the desired outcome. The process itself is a pain but guess what! It worth it.
Business Models – Most of the successful car rental businesses follows a particular business model, where they optimize the already available cars instead of buying new ones. And the car rental platform earns a specific percentage of money from each successful business.
Revenue Streams– There are fundamentally three kinds of revenue models. Commission from booking is the most familiar among all. The website owner will get a certain amount of money for each successful booking. Another way around is the Banner ads and Sponsored listings. This focus on car owners who are willing to pay extra for an improved visibility. Besides, the subscription packages are a good option to earn some money.
User Types- A car rental business merges three entities. Car renters, owners, and admin. A successful online platform should consider the perspectives of all three and must satisfy the needs of all.
Key Features of Car Rental Marketplaces
Some standard features or a specific set of attributes are explained below. These are inevitable factors, which are crucial for the proper functioning of an auto rental system. Moreover, their contribution to the user-experience is remarkable as well.
Listing Option for Car Owners
Since being one of the three elements of a car rental business, car owners should be given priority. The options to list their vehicle is necessary as the business solely relies on the same. They must give necessary information and further they can list their vehicle.
Proper Categorization and Advanced Search Options
List the cars in right categories by considering the pre-defined criteria. This will aid users to find out their favorite ride. Moreover, this will improve the total customer satisfaction. Users should be given the privilege to choose the ride by categories, prices, and so much more.
A powerful Admin Panel
A solid admin dashboard is a necessity for car rental businesses. It helps them streamline the admin-side operations, allows them to take control of all ongoing processes. Thus get more clarity about what is happening on the platform.
Feedback and Reviews
Feedback is crucial for businesses. Not just for the car rental but for any. It shares an opportunity for users to express their opinions and expectations regarding the business. It is a great way to understand the customer expectations and behavior as well.

Question remains- when will it be out??
Intel was supposed to reveal its Kaby Lake desktop CPU lineups by early 2017. But a convenient leak from a product change notification gave a good idea of the initial SKU models from the Core i5, Core i7 and Xeon series. There are eleven SKUs mentioned in the table, varying between 2.4 to 4.2 GHz clock speed. Its not sure if Intel would have i3 series since it absent from the list.
The list was made for its manufacturing partners. In the list, ten models are for desktop class while one is for the server. Intel is using its usual suffix 'K' for the unlocked series process while the 'T' is for low power consumption. There are some non-suffix locked CPU processors, such as the i5 7400 and the i7-7700.
The Kaby Lake processors will work with the existing Intel 100-series chipset motherboards as few companies started rolling out new BIOS updates. But Intel will be releasing 200-series chipsets. As per the list, its flagship will be the 4.2 GHz base clock Core i7-7700K processor, while the base model is the 2.4 GHz clocked Core i5-7400T. Unfortunately, core counts and respective SKU's TDP is not mentioned.
New chipsets!
As of now its known that the new Intel 200-series chipsets are B250, Q250, Q270, H270 and Z270. The X299 is a high-end chipset to replace X99 chipset while the C422 will be for server use with models such as the listed Xeon E3-1205 V6 CPU. As of now, its not known when the new motherboards and CPUs will be out. But as existing Intel 100-series BIOS updates are being released, it shouldn't take long.

This dreamy love shoot took place in a desert outside of Las Vegas! It was styled by Jen of Green Wedding Shoes and captured by the girls of Simply Bloom Photography.
The wedding attire chosen by Jen is so soft and romantic... a flowing pink wedding dress for the bride, a black vest and vintage tie for the groom and a collection of beautiful head-pieces and floral halos for the bride's hair. How sweet are the oversized paper flowers created by Jen and of course the real flowers?
I just love this handmade teepee made of pretty pattern fabrics in soft whites and pinks. It's beautifully decorated with the oversized paper flowers and a sweet fabric garland!aaaa

My mother has always broadcast her belief in arranged marriage, which used to horrify the teenage me, brain liquidized into romantic soup by over consumption of Jackie magazine ('Red was a loner…').
Now I'm a mother myself, I entirely agree with her. Especially as when I asked her who she would have chosen from my slideshow of boyfriends she came right out with a very impressive answer. Didn't pause for a second – and that was a fling that happened in about 1981.
My husband has a simpler solution, he's going to stand outside the front door with a gun, lest a youth resembling any aspect of Frankie Cocozza ventures near our precious babe, now aged ten. Needless to say, she loved the tattooed twunt.
As she clearly has appalling taste, who would we choose for her, to guarantee us perfect grandchildren? Well, I've had my eye on the Beckham boys from the outset. They'll have the looks and the work ethic and Brooklyn is just the right age, at three years older, but only 13 now, he's still forming.
So after studying the form (watching pop videos on Youtube), here's who I'd choose now, already of breeding age.
All of The Wanted
The entire reason boy bands are so appealing is that the whole is so much greater than the sum of the parts. It was years before Take That separated in my head from one blob of madly attractive testosterone into the Short One, the Thick One, the Smug One, the Real Genius and the Actual Love God.
I'm not at that stage with The Wanted yet, but after repeated watches of the video for Lightning (really worth a look – it will take you very hormonally back to the snogging years…) I would choose Max, the one with the shaven head.
He's from Manchester, so northern, which is a big plus to me and he looks like a mix of a young Robbie Williams (cf the Real Genius, above) and Puck, from Glee, see below.
One Direction
Another boy band, so all of the above applies, except that studying their website confirmed what I suspected from their recent appearance on X Factor: every one of these charming chappies is better looking than all of Take That, Blue, The Wanted, JLS, Boyzone etc etc put together.
One Direction – or One Erection as a middle-aged male friend memorably re-named them (bitter) – really are an exceptionally pretty selection box. The teens seem to favour Harry, by a long margin, but I rather like the look of sleepy-eye Liam, but then I was always fiercely torn between Mickey Dolenz and Davy Jones.
And by the way, no one in a boy band is allowed a surname until they're 25 and have been in re-hab at least once.
So I'm looking forward to being on the side of the stage, holding the baby (equipped with sound cancelling headphones a la Apple Martin-Paltrow), when they re-form and play Wembley in 2031.
Puck from Glee
Not the sappy actor, the actual character, with the mohawk. He's built, he's bad, he's dark – but he's got a sensitive side. He can play the guitar and he's Jewish. Tick, tick, tickety, tick. Only problem is that his mother-in-law might be caught trying to get glimpses of him naked through the crack in the bathroom door which would be embarrassing all round. Next.
Devon Bostick
Putting aside the fact that he sounds like a brand of West Country glue, this excellent young Canadian actor, who plays the brilliantly appalling older brother in the Wimpy Kid films, is also very amusing on Twitter.
I love a young man who is clearly delighted to wear eyeliner and he has the sexiest mouth since the front man of Showaddywaddy. What?
Most importantly, when me and Peggy posted a picture of her reading a Wimpy Kid book walking along the street (in fashionable Shoreditch, which added to our edge…) on his Facebook page – HE REPLIED. So they are practically engaged already.
I also very much like the look of his parents. His casting director mother is responsible for a hilarious series of online short films about how not to get a part called The Casting Room. So with an assured GSOH added to the rest of the package, you have my runaway favourite. He will have to change his name, though.
Here he is featuring in one of his mum's filmettes.

Star Date 5 September 2017 Tuesday
Captain's Log
Written by
Bill Kirk
September 05, 2017
Hard to say Happy Tuesday with so much potential destruction on the horizon.
Hurricane Irmais now a category 5 hurricane with sustained winds of 175 mph and gusts to 213 mph! It's East of Barbuda heading toward the Leeward Islands. This will be a catastrophic and deadly hurricane as it makes its way toward the U.S. CLICK ON IMAGES FOR LARGER VIEW
The hurricane has been shifting south in response to a strong high pressure to the north and this brings it closer to the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Southern Bahamas and ultimately South Florida.
While most of the models want to curve Irma right up Florida there is still a little doubt on this in light of what appears to be a strong blocking cold high pressure in the Northeast later this week. Right now the high is forecast to move into the Atlantic allowing Irma to make the typical right turn up and inland U.S. East Coast but again there is concern here that Irma continues West into the Gulf of Mexico which only a handful of models are suggesting. The mountains are very tall on Dominica and Cuba so this SHOULD help weaken Irma from Cat 5 back to Cat 4 but still an extremely dangerous storm. A hurricane this powerful has more energy than 15,000 nuclear bombs per NASA so please take it seriously as even Texas is not out of the woods with this, nor is the Northeast.
It is almost certain the U.S. will take a direct hit from one of the most catastrophic hurricanes on record but sadly these storms don't always behave as models suggest. Key West Florida is the most likely U.S. city to have catastrophic damage this weekend, beyond that...TBD! Miami is second highest U.S. city at risk.
The cold trends that have plagued the Eastern U.S. in August will continue the front half of September with the Northeast having the coldest 1-15 September in 23 years and 2nd wettest.
The past couple years have been record hot in the Northeast so the year-over-year change toward colder weather is huge - most in decades. For the U.S. overall, the front half of September is the coldest in 9 years and wettest in 6 years.
We will have frequent daily updates on Irma and Jose behind it on our
STAY SAFE!!!! - Capt Kirk out.

It happened before the revolution, but even today the skilled craftsmen can please us with the skillfully made toys. The known factory of toys produces the classical Zagorsk Russian nesting dolls, besides, there are a lot of the masters working in the city.
Nobody knows exactly when the first Russian nesting doll appeared in Sergiev Posad. They say that Saint Sergiy Radonezhsky himself was carving and giving to the children the wooden toys. Two hundred years before the appearance of the Russian nesting dolls people in Sergiev Posad were already engaged in toy craft. In XV century pilgrims were bringing horses, girls in kokoshniks, tilting dolls from the monastery. Both tsar's and peasant's children were playing with them.
The craft reached its flourishing in the end of XVIII beginning of XIX centuries. In XIX-th century the Russian nesting dolls started being manufactured in the capital workshop «Children's education», later the painting of the Russian nesting dolls was mastered in Sergiev Posad. At this time that very type of the Russian nesting doll named "Zagorskaya" (in honor of the old name of this city), or the Sergiev Posad Russian nesting doll was born. Splash of interest in the new Russian toy and the beginning of its mass manufacturing occurred at the beginning of the XX-th century and is connected with the World's fair in Paris. There was established the artel "Kustar - khudozhnik" («Handicraftsman - artist») in the city which later grew into the modern factory of toys.The Russian nesting doll from Sergiev Posad had a special color which the local masters adhere even today. At the same time the interest to this wonderful toy caused in the Russian centers of ancient crafts the appearance of the other variants for the painted Russian nesting doll.
Gradually the very picturesque, over gilded Russian nesting doll from Sergiev Posad was replaced with the quieter variant: painting with the red, yellow, green and dark blue colors with the thin black contouring. Masters of our time have inhaled their imagination in to the ancient craft, the toy has again blossomed out with all colors. Bright, joyful painting of each Russian nesting doll from Sergiev Posad is a gift for the child and a theme for the art historian. Russian nesting dolls from Sergiev Posad are very different.
One doll has three sisters, and the other one has fifty of them. Maidens from one family can have a kitten in hands, and the others - a flower or a handkerchief.
Each skilled craftsman makes the Russian nesting doll with a specific face, the dress and environment. The item "Vintage 1992 Hand Painted Russian Nesting Dolls Zagorsk Signed 7 pcs Churches" is in sale since Thursday, December 07, 2017. This item is in the category "Dolls & Bears\Dolls\By Type\Nesting". The seller is "lk1939" and is located in Leesburg, Virginia.

A good shoe, but a misleading color
I bought this shoe thinking it was a darker truer red, only to find out upon its arrival that in actuality it is a lighter shade of orange.
After trying Pegasus 32 and Flyknit Lunar 3, this is the shoe I liked the most. Very lightweight. Cushioning is excellent. They don't 'run narrow' like the ones mentioned above. Overall it's a terrific shoe. I'd highly recommend.
Very light and comfortable to run in.
These shoes are light enough to run fast for extended runs, and has the comfort for long runs. Bought another pair after running in the first pair I bought.
Love these shoes as light running and walking shoes. They are like walking on air and feel like you are not wearing shoes at all...you can feel everything.
After years of lifting heavy I decided to drop pounds both for health and to look good. I needed a durable running shoe that I could wear both for running and cross training. This shoe is perfect for that.

Bail was offered by Supreme Court judge, Justice Bertram Morrison in relation to the case involving the murder of St. Catherine businessman, Barrington Burton.
Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, has been ordered to report to the Constant Spring Police Station everyday as part of the conditions of his bail.
However, he will not be able to take up the bail offer as he has another case – relating to the August murder of Clive Williams – pending in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's (RM) Court.
Williams was beaten and stabbed at a house in Havendale, St. Andrew.
Kartel will return to the RM court tomorrow, when the matter is set to be called up.
The lawyers are also planning to make a bail application in relation to that case.
