Marisol (Ana Ortiz) continued to search for the truth when Olivia (Valerie Mahaffey) started manipulating Michael (Brett Cullen) on this week's Devious Maids.
If you haven't seen the latest episode of Devious Maids and don't want any spoilers, we suggest you stop reading now. If you have seen it and want to relive all of the action then keep reading.
Love fight
Spence (Grant Show) made his intentions towards Rosie (Dania Ramirez) clear as he helped her prepare for Miguel's (Alejandro Vera) birthday party at the Stappord house. The two flirted with one another and began to kiss when the doorbell went marking the return of Ernesto (Cristian de la Fuente) from Mexico. Spence made his presence known and Ernesto told him that his help would no longer be needed now he's back. Ernesto wasn't happy that Rosie had been spending time with Spence and he warned her that Spence was tying to work him way back into her life.
Rosie asked Spence not to go to Miguel's party because Ernesto didn't want him there and he told her he was going. While Rosie was out, Ernesto met with Hector and they started to plot kidnapping Katy (Grecia Merino). At the party Hector arrived dressed as a clown so he could snoop around the house and find out some information about Katy while she was away with Taylor (Brianna Brown). Spence caught Hector taking pictures in Katy's room and the two got into a fight in the middle of Miguel's birthday party, which Ernesto joined in with. Rosie broke down and told Spence it was over and told him to stop fighting for her. Spence said he would stop fighting once he'd won her back.
Ernesto argued with Hector telling him that he'd jeopardised the plan. Hector told him that Spence saw him taking photos and offered to 'take care' of him. Ernesto told him to leave Spence alone and assured him he would handle it. Rosie and Ernesto started cleaning up the Stappord house and Rosie found the blood-stained cushion when she took the cover off to wash it. Spence, who was back at his apartment, was visited by Hector who punched him in the face.
I need some discipline tonight
Carmen (Roselyn Sanchez) wasn't happy to wake up to Deion (Isaac Ryan Brown) going through her things. He'd also drawn a moustache on her face, which she didn't notice until it was pointed out by Evelyn (Rebecca Wisocky) who wasn't prepared to discipline him. Instead Evelyn took him to Disneyland and when she returned they were both full of stories about how much fun they'd had. Carmen exploded and told Evelyn she was turning Deion into a spoiled brat. Evelyn agreed he needed discipline and told Carmen that she was in charge of punishing Deion.
After he misbehaved, Carmen punished Deion by making him clean the house while she did nothing. Evelyn was alarmed when she found Deion cleaning the floors and confronted Carmen about it. She told her that her behaviour was unacceptable and told her she would be docking her wages. Carmen stormed over to see Marisol and asked her to do something about the way that Evelyn was treating her. Marisol explained Evelyn's behaviour by telling her about the Powells' dead son.
Later that day Evelyn heard Deion cursing whilst playing games and asked Carmen to deal with it. Carmen refused and started speaking about Evelyn's late son to find out if that's why she didn't want to punish Deion. Evelyn spoke to Deion and took him to see Carmen so he could apologise to her for his behaviour. It was then revealed that Carmen had a baby when she pulled out a picture from a box she kept in her room.
Keep your nose out!
Marisol had coffee with Michael and they two got into a fight when she quizzed him about why he'd gone back to Olivia. She said she thought Olivia was up to something causing Michael to get angry before he stormed out. Not giving up, Marisol went to Olivia's house under the ruse that she was going to see Jesse (Nathan Owens) but actually she was snooping. Jesse guessed what she was up to and the two got into a row when Marisol suggested that Olivia killed Blanca (Naya Rivera). He told Marisol that Olivia was battling cancer and there was no way she could have killed anyone.
At coffee with the other maids, Marisol discussed Jesse's revelation and they all thought she was being unfair to Olivia. Michael went to meet Olivia for lunch who had used her cancer to get a table in a busy restaurant. Olivia told Michael that she didn't have much time left and that her treatment wasn't working. She asked him to move in with her and he agreed. Olivia returned home and asked Jesse to make up the guest room for Michael. Jesse then found a burger wrapper in the bin and started to get suspicious.
Olivia went to the Stappord house with Michael and told Rosie that she had designed the house. She was furious when the original coffee table was no longer in place and started raging about Taylor. Meanwhile Jesse went to see Marisol and told her that he'd been snooping in Olivia's house. He didn't find any medication for cancer but found proof that she's faking having cancer to win Michael back. Marisol called Michael and told him that Olivia was faking her illness.
Michael confronted Olivia and she admitted that she was faking her cancer. He told her that he didn't love her and would never come back to her before storming out of the house. Olivia went to see Marisol and went crazy pulling out a knife and lunging for her. Marisol asked if she murdered Blanca and she denied she did. Jesse ran into the house and was slashed by Olivia but Marisol managed to stop her by smashing a lamp on her head. Marisol took Jesse to the hospital and he told her that he was moving away because he wanted a quieter life.
Devious maid
Joy (Joy Osmanski) set Dr. Neff's (John O'Hurley) plan into action to get rid of Zoila (Judy Reyes) this week. She asked Zoila if she could borrow some money from her and explained that Dr. Neff is broke. Joy also told her that he was using Genevieve (Susan Lucci) for her money and that Dr. Neff hadn't paid her wages. Zoila told her friends about Dr. Neff's financial situation and they advised her to tell Genevieve what was going on but Zoila said she didn't want to get stuck in the middle.
When she arrived back to Genevieve's house, Zoila interrupted Dr. Neff's marriage proposal by pretending to be in labour. When they arrived at the hospital Zoila explained to Genevieve that she wasn't in labour and needed to tell her that Dr. Neff was broke. She told her employer that she was being used for her money and Genevieve started to notice that Dr. Neff kept asking her for money. Dr. Neff tried to propose again and Genevieve stopped him to ask if he was poor. The doctor denied it and pushed Genevieve to tell him that it was Zoila who had been spreading lies about him. He asked Genevieve to sack Zoila or he would leave her.
Dr. Neff paid Joy for her help and Genevieve spoke with Zoila to sack her.
Devious Maids continues at 10pm Wednesdays on TLC.

A warm sunny climate and grapes that express purity of fruit translate to stellar wines worth adding to your repertoire.
We say "German wine," and your thoughts may immediately think "sweet." While the country does produce its fair share of unctuous offerings (even those bottles generally maintain balanced, palate-cleansing acidity though), the amount of dry German wines is steadily increasing. In the Pfalz – also referred to as the "Palatinate" from the Latin word palatium meaning "palace" – the majority of wines are produced in a trocken (dry) style. Food-friendly, varietally correct and infinitely interesting due to the various soil types, the region's Rieslings, Pinot Noirs and other grapes will make you sit up and take notice. Drink them in.
1. The Pfalz is Germany's second largest wine region.
With 23,000 hectares under vine, 3,000 winegrowers (two-thirds of them part-time) and plantings of Riesling second in the country only to its steep, slate-rich Mosel region, the Pfalz's importance to the German wine industry can't be overstated. Around one in three bottles of German wine originates in the Pfalz, and the switch from sweeter to drier styles has been ongoing, translating to more wines on shelves that are versatile food partners or patio sippers.
2. The region can feel more like southern Italy than Germany.
Due to its 2,000 hours of sunshine per year (which accounts for its abundance of kiwifruit as well as chestnut, almond and fig trees) the Pfalz can easily ripen grapes that struggle in cooler areas like the Mosel. To the west, the Haardt Mountains, a continuation of France's Vosges Mountains, serve as a rainshadow, keeping it one of the country's driest areas, with a climate that feels more like the Mediterranean than Germany. Yet it's diurnal (day to night) temperature swings mean that wines' acidity levels stay lively, so wines grown with white varietals have intense aromatics and a rich mouthfeel, while reds glean rich fruit notes and balanced tannins; yet whites and reds (and rosés!) maintain mouth-watering freshness. Though the 2003 vintage – one of the warmest ever in Europe – was a wake-up call that global warming is an absolute factor for winemakers, it's actually helping in the Pfalz, at least for the time being. The 2015 vintage was good all around, and the 2016 is looking especially great for red varietals.
3. Various terroirs result in wines made in different styles.
Limestone and chalk are the most common soils in the Pfalz, followed by basalt, slate and red and yellow sandstone. Sandstone-based soils can add elegance, salinity and notes of stone fruits to white varietals including Riesling. On the other hand, limestone soil's high content of calcium carbonate, a base, tempers acidity and renders it well integrated, especially in Riesling and Pinot Noir.
4. Riesling rules here.
The classic noble white varietal is the most planted grape (and overall volume is second only to the Mosel). But squash the notion that Riesling is always a sweet wine. In the Pfalz, it's generally vinified in an easy-drinking, food-friendly trocken style that boasts finesse and has less austere, tooth enamel-stripping acidity than in the Mosel. Wines clearly show classic notes of stone fruits (apricot and peach), apple, pear and minerality, along with medium-bodied mouthfeel and zestiness. And that inherent acidity can act as a preservative, meaning that bottles can age and pick up interesting, savory and saline notes, and aromas of petrol (in a good way).
5. But other white varietals shine, too.
Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris (called Gräuburgunder here) and Pinot Blanc (referred to as Weissburgunder) also thrive. And if you aren't a fan of oaky whites, you're in luck, as most are vinified either in stainless steel or neutral oak, with no malolactic fermentation (the technique that gives richer whites including Chardonnay those toasty, butter notes). Sauvignon Blanc coming out of the Pfalz is particularly impressive right now, as it seems to be emerging in a style that mashes up New World fruitiness you'd find in California bottles with Old World elegance and minerality, like what you may see in Sancerre from France's Loire Valley.
6. Pfalz Pinot Noir is particularly impressive.
Though traditionally white wines made up the majority of production in the Pfalz (and Germany in general) that is changing; today, 36% of German wines are red. Though it's incredibly finicky and difficult to make well, Pinot Noir here is stellar, with a purity of fruit (think cherry and raspberry),varietal typicity (a hard-to-achieve balanced blend of fruit and earthiness), vibrant acidity and silky, approachable tannins. Again, global warming is giving the grape a little boost, pushing it to be just ripe enough but keeping its varietal correctness in check.
7. And don't forget the bubbles.
Germans consume more sparkling wine than anyone else in the world, including the French. While most of it is made in the Charmat (tank) method, like Prosecco, the highest quality options are produced in the traditional method (just like Champagne, Cava, Crémant and Franciacorta). German sparkling wine is called Sekt, and can be made with a variety of grapes. Deutscher Sekt is made exclusively from German grapes, and those labeled Sekt b.A. are produced from grapes in one of the 12 quality regions – including the Pfalz. Harder to find in the States than the region's still wines, they are definitely worth seeking out.
Here are some Pfalz wines to look for on store shelves and wine lists (FYI, "Weingut" on the label means "winery"):
2016 Weingut Von Winning Deidesheimer Paradiesgarten Riesling 1er Lage Trocken: Similar in style to a Sauvignon Blanc, this fresh, easy-drinking wine shows tropical notes of pineapple and guava, along with a tinge of minerality and a slightly spicy finish.
2014 Weingut Von Winning Pinot Noir I: Gorgeous purity of fruit and dried mushrooms give a hint of the grape's signature earthiness. While it might not be quite as serious or as structured as others in the portfolio, it's a great example of Pfalz Pinot Noir just the same.
2011 Friedrich Becker Estate Pinot Noir: Produced on limestone/chalk soils at a winery whose vineyards straddle the border between Germany and France, this offering hails from a winemaker crafting some of the country's best Pinot Noir. It boasts floral aromas of violets and herbs, flavors of black cherries and blueberry, and velvety tannins.
2016 Friedrich Becker Pinot Blanc: An herbaceous and intense aroma of lime and tropical fruit is joined on the palate by mango and pineapple and a rich yet pristine mouth feel. This wine offers up more than its price tag would have you believe.
2012 Rebholz Okonomierat Riesling: The red sandstone soils on which the grapes for this wine are grown are among the best in Germany. Tart citrus and pear on the nose are joined by an austerity and minerality on the palate, and just the slightest hint of petrol and salinity on the finish.

A cool, late summer's night brings about thoughts of keeping warm. What better way to do so than with a nice glass of Scotch! The drink of the hour is Chivas Regal 12, the base of the Chivas line of blended whiskies. This whisky is a blend of malt and grain. Interesting,y, the bottle has a machine printed date on it, indicating that it was bottled on September 11, 2007. This is a popular whisky and competes against Johnny Walker for the hearts and minds of blended whisky lovers.
The colour is light gold, not very striking in the glass but looks alone aren't all that important. Let me point out here that given its alcohol content of 40% abv, I decided on adding a few drops right off the top and tasting it with water only.
On the nose, it's a big citrus fest. Orange peel, clementine, tangerine, and grapefruit zest along with oak attack the olfactory system. What a pleasant introduction! This is a whisky that's worth appreciating on the nose before every sip.
The palate is interesting for being subtle and smooth. Where the nose hit hard, the palate is caressed. The notes of honey and oak are massaged into the tongue. It's very light, somewhat watery even. It goes down easy, but feels a bit uneven. The wood and the honey, sometimes coming across as fruit, don't seem to be in harmony but rather struggling to take their place. Is there some butterscotch in there? Maybe, but not strong enough to make a lasting impression. I don't mean to say it's not a good whisky, and most people will prefer the smooth and simple nature of this expression.
The finish is short and woody at first, turns sweet as it fades away. The memory of the finish will be of its sweetness, almost like a Toblerone.
So there you have it, a good whisky and perfect for everyday drinking amongst mixed company. The next level up, the 18, should be a good point to determine how the blenders have improved on their base label. I may try it some day and let you know.

Revision as of 09:23, 14 February 2020
- Press L/M/H to perform normal attacks.
Depending on the current state of your character (standing, crouching, jumping, close to opponent), your character will do different attacks. As a general rule, L attacks are weak and fast, H attacks are strong and slow, and M attacks are between the two.
Note that the normals will change depend on the distance of you and your opponent.
Sweep & Overheads
All characters have two universal attacks:
- Press Template:2U to perform a sweep, which must be guarded against low
- Press M+H to perform a overhead attack, which must be guarded against high.
Unique Actions
Each character has a Unique Action on the Template:5U, which can range from attacks like Gran's Power Surge, to power-up moves Vaseraga's Power Surge.
- To perform a normal ground throw, press L+M while next to the opponent.
Throws are a special type of attack which is unblockable, making it a good option to open your opponent up.
Throw Invincibility
Opponents can not always be thrown. Below is a list of situations when the opponent cannot be thrown:
- While the opponent is in hitstun + ?? frames after.
- While the opponent is in blockstun + 5 frames after blockstun ends.
- While the opponent is knocked down + 9 frames after. (If the opponent techs, they have no throw invincibility)
- 5 frames after a late throw tech
- During the opponent's jump startup.
- Ground throws will miss airborne opponents.
- Some attacks are throw invincible, which is noted in the Frame Data.
Command Throw
Command throws are a special type of throw (usually a Skill) that can not be escaped even if you input a throw break. In order to escape these type of throws, you must either:
- Jump if it's a ground command throw
- Not be in the space that they hit if it's a command throw that hits in the air
Command throws are more powerful than throws at breaking the guard of opponents who simply block but they usually pay the price by having more recovery when they miss, making them easier to punish.
Priority of Strike vs Throw vs Command Throw
When two strikes hit each other, either a clash happens or both characters get hit, but what happens when throws are added to the mix?
- Throw vs Strike: The throw will always win.
- Normal Throw vs. Normal Throw: A Throw Break occurs
- Normal Throw vs. Command Throw: The Command Throw will always win.
- Command Throw vs. Command Throw: Both throws whiff for that one frame. Meaning a Command Throw with more Active Frames will win in the end.
By pressing a specific direction and S, you can perform a Skill.
Skills are attacks that have unique effects and properties. A list of your character's Skill are presented under the HUD, once the input is recognized, that Skill will be activated and will be rendered unusable until the cooldown has passed.
In addition, you can hold M or H before pressing S, to use the M/H versions of that Skill.
Technical Commands
Instead of using the S Button as a shortcut, button inputs for activating skills, skybound arts, and super skybound arts can be entered manually. This reduces the skill's cooldown, as well as slightly improving the properties of the attack.
- Attacks do 25% chip damage as opposed to 20%
- Damage of Skills is increased, values vary from move to move
- Skybound and Super Skybound Arts trigger the cinematic hit from further distance compared to normal versions.
Skybound Art/Super Skybound Art
Skybound Arts
- Skybound Arts (SBA) are attacks that are even more powerful than Skills, cost 100% SB Gauge, and can be activated by inputting Template:236S or Template:236236H.
Note that some characters might have more than one Skybound Arts.
Super Skybound Arts
- Super Skybound Arts (SSBA) are even more powerful than Skybound Arts.
To perform this Super, your health must be at 30% or lower, and your SB gauge is at 100%. Your lifebar and SB Gauge will turn blue and your character's icon will flash white when you meet the requirements.
Then the Super Skybound Arts can be activated by inputting Template:236S+U or Template:236236U.

Back To Cigars
Some people just don't get it. We cigar lunatics do not burn cigars for a quick fix or to take the edge off. Rather, we look forward to an experience appealing to many of our most tangible senses – sight, smell, and taste. Burning a cigar creates a 'slow down' moment in our busy lives filled with relaxation and enjoyment. A moment we make time for. There is no set of rules put forth by some governing cigar body stating how one must go about enjoying a cigar. However, there are ways to receive optimum results each time you light up, further enhancing your experience and the sensations each of our senses picks up. Let's discuss....
The draw of a cigar is vital for maximum cigar enjoyment. If the draw is too tight, not enough smoke will reach the palate, thus hindering the level of flavor your taste buds receive. Also, the less smoke one pulls in with each puff, the less smoke one exhales, decreasing the amount of aroma noticed. There's nothing better than sitting in a pillowy cloud of pleasant aromas while burning a fi ne stogie. There are several methods to correcting a tight draw. One can massage and pinch the clipped end of the cigar to work out some of the 'knots' or use a draw poker to open larger airways through the body of the barrel. Sometimes, a tight draw is the result of a cigar containing too much moisture, which causes the filler leaves to expand and restrict airflow. For this reason, we recommend storing cigars at a humidity level slightly lower than 70%. Lastly, a draw can be too loose, also resulting in less smoke hitting the palate. Nine times out of ten this is the result of a poor roll.
The draw is perfect, what now? Well, many enthusiasts utilize the '1-2-3' method. This is where you puff on the cigar three times with each draw. The first two puffs are quick, but strong puffs to get the cigar going. The third puff is long and slow, filling the entire palate with smoke. Now that the smoke is in your mouth, keep it closed and roll the smoke around a bit before slowly exhaling. In doing this, you might notice the smoke clings to the different areas of your palate, leaving behind a longer and more satisfying aftertaste.
Be careful. Puffing on a cigar too furiously can cause it to burn too quickly, making it hot and harsh. Oils heat up and run through the barrel of the cigar from foot to head. It is recommended that you blow into the cigar every now and then, pushing these oils and any residue they might contain out through the foot. Doing so minimizes the chances of a cigar turning harsh later on.
Another excellent tip is using your nose. Every now and then, exhale through your nose a bit. It is a fact that most of your taste receptors are located in your sinuses. By exhaling through your nose, you can pinpoint more or different flavor and strength sensations. This is how many enthusiasts detect notes of wood, leather, earth, coffee, chocolate, etc. The mouth is mostly responsible for elements like balance and sweetness. Don't worry, you only have to exhale about 10% of the smoke through your nose and you don't have to do it every time. However, once you start doing this you'll probably find that your old favorites never tasted (and smelled) so good!
The bottom line is, enjoy a cigar in whatever fashion pleases you most. The tips above are merely suggestions that might enhance your experience. Whether you use them or not, know that there is no wrong way to enjoy a cigar. Unless, of course, you're doing so with cigars from our competition!

Haifa and Matt
Borden, Indiana

Venue | Huber's Orchard & Winery | @huberwinery
Aside from a baseball field where Matt proposed, this local vineyard holds a very special place in these high school sweetheart's hearts. Matt and his family live just down the way from Huber's Orchard & Winery and they shared a wonderful meal together there just before he proposed. They've decided to also have their wedding at Huber's and engagement photos!
Haifa and Matt currently live in Georgia, so they decided to schedule engagement photos for a weekend they would already be in town. (The drive from Georgia to Indiana isn't a fun one) Sadly though, the most convenient weekend for them was a black out weekend for Huber's, meaning they weren't scheduling photo sessions of any kind. Luckily, Huber's coordinator was very understanding of Haifa & Matt's situation and made an exception for them, allowing us to come do engagement photos. The downside (to me) was they were only able to offer us a 11am to 1pm time slot. Anyone who knows anything about photos knows that is the worse time to shoot. However, I was pleased Huber's made an exception for us to come shoot so I took the high noon, harsh light as a challenge. I could not be more pleased with how these images turned out!
My fiancé and I met in high school when I was a sophomore and he was a junior. We talked for the very first time at one of our high schools baseball games.
We are very determined people. We know what we want in life and we push each other every day to get there. We believe in each other and will do anything to help each other succeed. I knew my partner was the one when he left for college while I was still in high school and nothing changed in our relationship. We visited each other when possible and it was as if nothing changed. I knew no matter what we had to go through from that point forward, we would be okay.
Matthew and I moved to Georgia so I could attend chiropractic school. Last Thanksgiving, we drove home to be with family for the holiday. One of the days that we were home, we went to eat at Huber Winery and then he took me to the baseball field at our high school to the spot where we talked for the very first time and asked me to marry him. It was such a sweet and meaningful surprise. It was the best day of my life!
My ring is AMAZING!! It is an oval diamond with a halo around the center and a diamond band.
We have started planning our wedding already! We are having our wedding at Huber Winery on June 29, 2019. I hope the year flies by!

How Democrats could release their memo without Trump's approval
President Donald Trump's objections to the Democratic memo rebutting allegations of FBI surveillance abuse has some law professors spinning out scenarios in which the memo could be released without executive branch approval.
They may not be needed as Democrats have said they are working to address the concerns, CNN reports. U.S. Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut said on Monday that Democrats don't intend to release the memo before addressing concerns about classified information, the Washington Times reports.
Himes spoke after CNN asked him about one of the scenarios: Democrats could protect themselves from prosecution for releasing classified information by reading the memo aloud from the House floor. The question was a reference to the speech or debate clause of the Constitution, which reads "for any speech or debate in either House, [members of Congress] shall not be questioned in any other place."
The phrase has been interpreted to bar prosecution of any lawmaker for speeches made on the floor or in committee that are part of the legislative function, Slate reports in an article by University of California at Los Angeles law professor Jonathan Zasloff. The professor says the Democratic memo would be covered because responding to a Republican committee memo is a "core legislative function."
Another law professor, Mary Lederman of Georgetown, points out that restrictions on congressional release of classified information are imposed by standing rules of the House of Representatives. That means Trump doesn't have the authority to block release of the Democratic memo, Lederman argues in a blog post for Just Security.
The process is governed by Rule X, Clause 11 of the House's Standing Rules. The rule allows the committee to publicly disclose any information in its possession if it determines the public interest would be served.
However, there is a special procedure when the information to be released has been submitted by the executive branch, the information is classified, and the executive branch requests the information be kept secret. In that case, the committee has to notify the president of its decision to disclose, and must wait for at least five days after that notification.
During that time, the president has the option of "personally in writing" notifying the committee that he objects to the disclosure and certifying that the threat posed by the disclosure outweighs the public interest. If the president does make such an objection, the memo can be disclosed only with approval from the full House, Lederman says.
Lederman says the president did not make his objections "personally in writing" because the letter notifying the committee was written by White House counsel Don McGahn. Nor did McGahn represent that the threat to the national interest outweighs the public interest, Lederman says.
As a result, it is "up to the committee itself, not the president, whether and in what form to eventually release the memo," Lederman writes.

Operating Systems Should Support Business Change
Mogul, Jeffrey C.
Keyword(s): operating systems; enterprise IT
Abstract: Existing enterprise information technology (IT) systems often inhibit business flexibility, sometimes with dire consequences. In this position paper, I argue that operating system research should be measured, among other things, against our ability to improve the speed at which businesses can change. I describe some of the ways in which businesses need to change rapidly, speculate about why existing IT infrastructures inhibit useful change, and suggest some relevant OS research problems. Notes: This paper was originally published in the Proceedings of the Tenth Workshop on Hot Topics in Operating Systems (HotOS-X), Santa Fe, NM, June 2005.

Repair-Restore-Renew (RRR) 2013
Proudly supported by
|Previous funding rounds
FRRR's Repair-Restore-Renew (RRR) Program helps communities recover from natural disaters, by providing grants that help to address community needs that begin to emerge 12-18 months after the disaster event. FRRR's experience shows that this is the time when the focus often moves to community recovery, as individual needs have often been met. It is also the time when the rest of the world has often turned its attention to subsequent natural disasters.
The RRR 2013 program provided grants to support the medium-to-long term recovery of communities impacted by the bushfires, cyclones and floods in Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland in 2013.
Thanks to the collaboration of several donors, 5 grant rounds were conducted across the 2013 disaster-affected regions, with nearly $530,000 distributed in funding to 48 community groups.
Grants ranging from $100 to $15,000 were provided to non-profit and community organisations based in, or working in these disaster affected communities. A variety of projects were supported, including mental health and community wellbeing, volunteer support and training, community preparedness and resilience strategies, environmental recovery, local economic recovery, and community infrastructure restoration and renewal.
"Without organisations like FRRR and their donors we would not have had our Museum restored. Cardwell's history would have been lost forever. Cardwell might be a small town but we all help to contribute to Australia's rich history. It would have been such a travesty to have lost that."
Murray Massey, Cardwell Historical Society
Eligible Communities
The following communities were eligible for funding from the RRR 2013 program. These regions were declared by the Australian Government as impacted by the natural disasters of the 2013 summer:
|Natural Disaster
|Eligible Communities
Tasmanian bushfires
|January 2013
Broadly the Central Highlands, East Coast, Forestier and Tasman Peninsula:
Victorian bushfires
|January-February 2013
Northern NSW floods
|January and February 2013
|NSW Blue Mountains / Newcastle bushfires
|October 2013

Captain Lee's Friends and Fans Share Their Condolences Following the Untimely Death of His SonBy Pippa Raga
Below Deck's Captain Lee Rosbach broke some devastating news to fans on Instagram yesterday. The 70-year-old yacht captain dedicated a heartbreaking message to honor his late son, Joshua Lee Rosbach, who died on July 22 at the age of 42.
What happened to Captain Lee's son?
"This past Saturday," he wrote alongside a photo of his son, "my beloved wife Mary Anne and I laid our youngest son, Joshua Lee Rosbach to rest."
Captain Lee revealed that Joshua battled a 20-year-long struggle with addiction before eventually passing on. "After a 20-year struggle, he finally succumbed to the demons he fought so long and so hard," the Instagram dedication continued.
"Addiction is an insidious disease that knows no social status or geographic boundaries. Whether you live in a 10,000 sq. ft. mansion or a double wide trailer, the path of death, destruction, and devastation it leaves remains the same," the post read.
"We loved Josh unconditionally and were proud of the man he had become in spite of his problems. There was no one I ever knew who gave more of himself to those in his life. He loved with all his being without expecting anything in return. We both feel a hole in our souls what will never be filled."
Captain Lee ended his tragic post with a call-to-action.
Rather than thank his fanbase of over a quarter million followers for their thoughts and prayers, Captain Lee concluded his Instagram post with a call to those who are fighting addiction and their families.
"So my message to those of you who are fighting this disease," he wrote, "find a way to get help no matter what. For those of you who have a friend, family member, son, or daughter who's struggling, do what ever it takes to get them the help they need."
He added, "Be kind and loving, and try to enjoy every second you have with them. Do not pray for our son, but please take care of your children and friends who may need it, as it isn't too late for them."
According to Joshua's obituary, he passed "in the comfort of his home."
"Josh followed his father's love for the ocean," it reads, "whether it was sailboating or First Mate aboard a yacht."
Once celebrities learned of Captain Lee and his wife's loss, they came out in droves to pour their support and condolences.
Chief Stew Kate Chastain took to Twitter to write, "Beautifully written statement by Captain Lee at what is certainly a devastating time. I've had the pleasure of spending time with Captain Lee & his wife Mary Anne in their home and the love they have for their family has always been a privilege to witness."
Beautifully written statement by Captain Lee at what is certainly a devastating time.

Real Housewives of Orange County star Alexis Bellino commented, "Drew and my heart goes out to you, your wife, and your beautiful family. Prayers coming your way." Cameran Eubanks of Southern Charm added, "I wish I knew the right words. Holding you and Mary Anne in prayer."
Even the Queen of Versailles, who was a recent guest on Below Deck Med, and lost her own daughter to an accidental overdose as well, wrote, "I am so deeply sorry for your loss. We lost our daughter Victoria to a drug overdose.

Excellent post on building that vital author platform and connecting with readers.
Here's Kimberley Grabas's post: http://www.thebookdesigner.com/2016/03/your-biggest-book-marketing-or-platform-building-roadblocks/
Chris The Story Reading Ape's Blog
Excerpt from an article by Kimberley Grabas on The Book Designer:
The concept of "platform" has been around for awhile now.
But despite the increased awareness of the need for a platform:
– to distinguish your work in the marketplace,
– to help you reach more people,
– and to allow you to create a thriving community of eager and supportive fans
– most writers continue to struggle.
You try to gain exposure without spamming or irritating people – and fail.
You search for ways to connect with readers most likely to enjoy or benefit from your work, but come up empty-handed.
You attempt a multitude of "strategies" that require much in the way of time and effort, but produce little results.
And although feeling exposed and vulnerable, you've shared your thoughts, opinions and upcoming projects on your author blog and via social media – to have them largely (if…

DENVER (CBS4)– One Colorado woman has decided to go all in to become one of the best runners in the world. Brittany Charboneau hopes a sense of humor can get her all the way to the Olympics.
Thursday's run at Sloan's Lake Park is a typical, easy run for native Coloradan Charboneau, but it's a stark difference from her last race less than one month ago. She ran in the elite wave of the TCS New York City Marathon.
She started off conservatively but she said, "And then I was in the front and I remember thinking, did I miss a turn?"
She didn't. She actually led the race for four miles. For her it was like a dream come true.
"You idolize and watch all of these amazing runners and then getting the chance to not only run with them but lead the pack for a couple miles was huge."
She calls herself the funny runner, because her other job is comedy. A few years ago, she was living and working in Chicago. She decided to study at Second City as a way to jump-start her acting career. When she and her husband moved back to Colorado, she decided to quit her nine to five to focus all of her time on running and comedy.
"I was just not happy in my regular job and I knew that there was something else that I needed to be doing."
She says her two passions go hand in hand, "It's kind of a great balance you know, I've got the structure and then the just play."
Her method of laughing while running seems to be working. She won the 2017 Colfax Marathon, placed seventeenth in New York and qualified for the Olympic trials. She has also written a comedy show she performed on stage in Denver and Chicago.
"I'm hopefully taking my show on tour this year."
On top of all of that, she is also trying to qualify for the Olympics in 2020. It is a lofty goal, but as long as she has her sense of humor, Brittany knows she can get there.
"I'm improving it. I improving this running career."

The government of Switzerland is pursuing efforts to impose tougher restrictions on the sale of "mature" videogames in the country and is also considering the possibility of banning them outright.
Two resolutions that seek to tighten the restrictions on videogame sales to minors were recently passed in Swiss Parliament. The first would outlaw the sale of games rated 16+ or 18+ by PEGI, the Pan-European Game Information rating system, to minors and imposes stricter requirements for identification on retailers. It would also become illegal for anyone in the country to purchase a videogame that hasn't been rated by PEGI.
The second resolution is simpler but also far more potentially troublesome: It seeks to ban "violent and adult" videogames in the country outright. Fortunately, while the first resolution passed unanimously, the second met with some modicum of resistance and only passed with a 9-3 vote, still a troubling majority by any measure but also a sign, slight though it may be, that at least a few people are thinking about something more than just the children.
The resolutions were originally filed back in December 2007 by Norbert Hochreutener of the Christian Democratic Party after a 21-year-old army conscript shot and killed a 16-year-old girl at a bus stop. While videogames don't appear to have been cited by officials as being at all connected to the case, at least one media report managed to work them in anyway, writing, "The man then took aim at the 16-year-old victim, a trainee hairdresser, who just happened to be waiting at a nearby bus stop, as if in a computer game, reports say, and fired a fatal shot."
Swiss game sellers currently operate under a voluntary "code of conduct" which recommends against the sale of mature videogames to minors, but some members of the government believe the regulations should be codified into law to ensure they're properly enforced.

Picking puppy teething toys can be a daunting task. What if your pup won't like it? Which ones soothe their gums the best? Which ones are durable, high quality, reliable toys that will bring pleasure for years to come? There's a lot to think about before purchasing the best chew toys for puppies and dogs – that is why we created this article.
We offer advice on which products are best for which breed, a selection discussing the perks of specific materials, and recommendations on how to steer pups into playing with toys they aren't accustomed to yet.
10+ Best Puppy Teething Toys of 2018
Tips for Choosing Teething Toys for Puppies
Buy Only Soft and Tough
Young pups endure a great deal of pain during teething. Similarly to babies, the milk teeth are pushed out by the stronger, mature ones growing underneath them. While the process is inevitable, it hurts no less, and often you'll find your pup trying to relieve themselves by chewing on any object they lay eyes upon. You can't make the pain go away, but you can control what items they chew on, and this is why choosing the right dog teething toy is imperative.
Pick ones that naturally attract your puppy's attention. The best puppy teething toys are composed of different materials for more fun – and they are better for their teeth too. That's why we recommend items combining soft and tough materials, which provide a versatile chomping experience.
Choose the Right Size
Larger pups chew their way across anything. Dissected rope toys, torn-apart plastic balls with squeakers inside and too small chew toys can be swallowed too easily – which is why it's vital you pick good teething toys for puppies that can endure her unending desire to chomp.
Make sure to select larger, extra-durable items for large breeds and the devoted chewers – this way, you won't have to fear that the dog teething toys accidentally lead to intestinal blockage.
Try Different Dog Toy Sizes
Safety is vital when it comes to selecting the best dog teething toy, but so is fun. Choose items your pup will love and don't be afraid to mix it up. You never know what will work out best, and sometimes dogs grow fond of the puppy teething toy you'd least expect them to. We've seen teeny Affenpinschers cuddle up with a squeak twice their size – while young Labradors too can appreciate the bite-sized chew toys.
Find Out if It Tastes Good or Not
Everything tastes better with peanut butter – and dental dog toys are no exception. A good trick to get pups accustomed with new dog teething toys is to combine them with their favorite treats such as a generous heaping of the good ol' PB – so they'll like it immediately.
Having said that – it's easier to choose treats that taste good on their own – so that your puppy won't retreat to your favorite leather brogues immediately after having had one bite of their new buddy.
Top Mistakes When Choosing New Puppy Chew Toys
So Tiny
Who said that good things come in small packages? Clearly, they never had a young puppy roaming around their house. Though dogs can sink their teeth into anything – and most often you'll find that they do indeed – it doesn't mean that they should.
Steer away from investing in tiny dog teething toys if you have a larger breed or a heavy chewer. They'll play with it, for sure – but they might go too far, tear it to pieces or swallow it down. It's not worth risking intestinal blockage, so make sure your pup sinks their teeth into a dog teething toy they can't gulp down.
BPA Element
BPA or bisphenol A is one of the most prevalent types of plastic. From tinned foods to consumer goods, it can be found in just about any type of product out there. Although it doesn't do much to the human body, in larger quantities, it can cause a great deal of difficulty for your pup.
while new research about its effects it still underway, it's better to prevent your puppy from being exposed to it as much as it is possible. Try and avoid teething dog toys and treats with BPA on the ingredient list – as you might risk causing lasting damage to their health, including infertility and autoimmune diseases in the long run.
Easily Destructible
Although most dental dog toys are marketed as 'indestructible,' 'long-lasting' and 'extra-durable,' it's best to not put your blind trust into the label. If your pooch is full of beans, ready to sink their teeth into just about anything they find, or a manic chewer, there's no point in putting them to danger with an easily destructible dog teething toy.
while a half-chomped rope toy might not seem like a gravely dangerous object – they may very well be. Once swallowed, it can cause all sorts of lasting issues – from poisoning to dizziness and fever.
Cheap & Low Quality
Puppies won't remain puppies forever, and it might be tempting to invest in a dental dog toy from the lower price range that can be replaced easily. Don't fall for the price though – getting good value for a product is particularly important when it comes to choosing gifts for a younger pooch.
Don't stake your chances with cheap and low-quality items, as they will inevitably disappoint. Perhaps your pup won't like them at all, or she will like them too much, tear them apart, swallow them and develop food poisoning as a result. Cheap dental dog toys today mean a trip to the vet on tomorrow – so the price definitely won't pay back.
Benefits of Dental Dog Toys
Clean Teeth and Good Breath
A cleverly chosen teething toys for puppies will help you maintain your pup's oral hygiene. Look out for items that combine tough and soft materials that can help your pooch develop different skills. Another favorite amongst owners are toys that can be frozen or cooled down – which will decrease the pain your pup is going through while their teeth are growing.
Keep an eye out for the ones that can contain snacks and serve as a chew toy on their own – as these will improve your pup's wellbeing the most.
Stimulate Growing Teeth
The richer in texture the toy, the happier the dog. Puppies who are growing their teeth are particularly sensitive to dental stimulation. It's the best to choose a dental dog toy that will not only make them happier and more satisfied but one that can offer a great deal of improvement for their teeth.
You wouldn't want your pup to end up with two sets of teeth – which is a common side effect amongst the puppies who have too little to chew on – and it's better to make sure they have the best teething toys for dogs they can take out their energy on.
Soften the pain
Remember the tooth fairy, the mythical creature who was ready to give a rich reward each time you put a tooth under your pillow? A wisely chosen dog teething toy can serve similar purposes for your puppy – it offers comfort at a time wrought with pain and displeasure.
Cool dog toys that can contain your pup's favorite treat, the ones that come in different materials and the ones that can be frozen are the best for these purposes. Not only do they keep your pup's teeth in a good state, but they also help your canine feel less of the pain of having to grow teeth.
What are Puppy Teething Toys?
Puppy teething toys offer stimulation and relief to the younger ones who need it the most. Whilst growing teeth can be uncomfortable – so much so that pups often turn to any object in their surrounding to decrease their pain with – the best dog teething toys for puppies can divert your furry friend's attention, keep them busy, and even relieve the extreme muscular tension they experience in the gum area.
Your dog will be grateful for them too. The best puppy chew toys can help prevent dental problems in the long run, and help build the foundations of impeccable oral hygiene.

France, Nouvelle Aquitaine gay saunas
Gay bathhouses, also known as gay saunas are commercial spaces for men to have sex with other men. In gay slang in some regions these venues are also known colloquially
as "the baths", "the Sauna" or "the tubs," but they should not be confused with public bathing. Gay baths are for sex, not bathing.
Not all men who visit gay bathhouses consider themselves gay, regardless of their sexual behavior. Bathhouses for women are rare, though some men's bathhouses occasionally have "lesbian" or "women only" nights.
Saunas vary considerably in size and amenities-from small establishments with 10 or 20 rooms and a handful of lockers to multi-story saunas with a variety of room styles or sizes and several steam baths, Jacuzzi tubs, and sometimes swimming pools. Most have a steam room (or wet sauna), dry sauna, showers, lockers, and small private rooms.

vocalist and guitar stylist Norman Brown was eight years old
when he was so captivated by his brother's acoustic guitar
that his brother gave it to him.
Brown had grown up listening to the music of Jimi
Hendrix, The Isley Brothers and Kool and the Gang.
interest in playing jazz started when he heard guitar legend Wes
Montgomery for the first time and related immediately to what he
heard. Motivated to learn Montgomery's songs by his father's
promise of his car for the night, Norman developed his
technique. Gigs
with local bands followed, playing first R&B covers and
later contemporary jazz.
the mid-'80s, Brown moved to Los Angeles to study music
formally at the Musician's Institute in Hollywood.
After graduating, he became an instructor at the
institute and began his association with the MoJazz label,
recording three solo albums, before signing with Warner Bros.
"Just Chillin'" is his second album for Warners.
in guitar heaven as the first notes from that guitar trickle
from my speakers. This
groove-laden gem, The Feeling I Get,
reminds me why a new Norman Brown release is an event!
A lovely electric piano solo adorns an already perfect
easy to be drawn into this music.
On the title track, deft cymbal and percussion work opens
a song which has effortless cool, some old-school keyboard
sounds and the timeless brass of three giants – Jerry hey,
Larry Williams and Bill Reichenbach.
If the names aren't familiar, look at your old soul and
jazz-funk records and CD's again…
Brown captures the urban soul mood well – ably assisted by
producer Paul Brown. Chanté
Moore provides the sweet vocal on Feeling the Way.
So many modern R & B acts cop an attitude and miss
the point. This has
style and substance.
groove is back on Night Drive.
It's a finger-snappin' delight with the smooth horn
sounds of man-of-the-moment Rick Braun and percussion courtesy
of veteran jazzer Paulinho Da Costa.
McDonald must be a busy man and his silky vocal on I Still
Believe shows why. The
guitar takes a back seat on this ballad until the elegant,
ultra-clean solo. Ahh…
your shoes off and move the chairs well back.
Dancing in the House is a
joyous celebration with scat vocals, the swinging bass of Pino
Palladino and a crazy Brazilian rhythm powering the whole thing.
"After the Storm", Brown covered a Janet Jackson song and
this time he's back with the pretty Let's
Wait Awhile. It's
slow and romantic and the acoustic guitar in the background is
the icing on the cake.
mood stays romantic for the urban love song Won't
you Stay. The
rhythm is choppy and doesn't flow like some songs here.
The vocals (both lead and background) are gorgeous and a
few plays of this song will have it haunting you…
You've been warned!
"Caravan of Love"-style soft funk groove with handclaps
carries the thoughtful In my Life.
The background vocals are flawless.
album ends on a sexy note with Not Like
you Do, with its breathy vocal from soulstress Mikki
Howard, underpinned by a slow, insistent rhythm.
When she sings "I could spend forever in this room",
I know just what she means.
quality of writing, musicianship and production here is
unbelievably high – the whole CD is so enjoyable that
(unusually) I can't pick out a favourite song.
If I'm preaching to the converted here, I'm happy –
you've possibly had as much pleasure from Norman Brown's
music as I have. If
this is the first you've heard about him, I hope your nearest
record store is not far. Go

1 lb. cream cheese
3-6 T. blue cheese (or more, depending on how much you like blue cheese)
1 cup chopped pecans
1 T. milk (or more as needed)
(Also could use whipped cream cheese.)
Whip cream cheese and milk together until light and fluffy. Add more milk if needed to get the texture you want. 1 T. makes it firm, and it will form a ball nicely, but if you want it creamier, add a bit more milk. Add blue cheese and pecans, and stir a bit to mix. Allow it to sit in the fridge for several hours or overnight to blend flavors. Serve with crackers or your other favorite dippers. Also makes a fantastic burger topper!
