Pam Newell: The Art of the Master
The artistry behind the work of Pam Newell is simply artistic brilliance. Her paintings capture the essence of simple, beautiful objects and landscapes in a way that we see with our eyes, but seldom are able to capture with a photograph or to adequately describe with words.
The teal blue teacup, peonies bursting from a vase, roses with their stems seen through a water-filled vase and a copper African kettle seem to be exactly as the eye remembers. The longer I stare at one of her still life paintings, the less I recall that it's a painting and not the actual objects set before me.
Modest, humble and gracious, Newell says that we live in an artistic vortex in Indiana. "There is so much talent here," says Newell. "Hamilton County alone has a wealth of artists with incredible abilities." Newell attended the University of Massachusetts where she studied two-dimensional design and art education.
Being completely unfamiliar with the process of painting with oil and pastels, an informative lesson on the supplies was in order: "Pastel is very immediate and has gorgeous luminous color. It's pure pigment," explains Newell, "which is the same pigment in oil, only in pastel it's held together with a binder." The word pastel comes from the word paste — not a reference to light colors. Stretched canvas isn't a preferred surface for Newell. She prefers linen as a painting surface, mostly glued to boards, smoothed and prepped for beautiful possibilities.
A student of Newell's, Julie McCullough, enrolled in Newell's class at the Indianapolis Art Center. McCullough, who hadn't touched her brushes since college, credits Newell for her heartfelt encouragement and instruction, leading her to a place that she hadn't thought possible to go as a painter. "I believe we get caught up in everyday life and when things begin to calm down, we wish to reach for something within us. Pam has brought that out in me, and I can honestly say she has been one of the best mentors," states McCullough. The praise for Newell is consistent from her students. "When you leave her workshop, you feel like she has elevated your self-confidence and you are ready to go home and try many of her suggestions," says fellow student Audrey Fiet.
Newell, who works from home along with her husband, Bruce, who occupies another office in their home, used mostly pastels when their children were young. "I could leave the pastel on the easel and come back to it later, and with little children, the interruptions were frequent," says Newell. Once she had the luxury of longer, more focused time at her craft, she went back to mostly oils. "I have transitioned to about 70 percent oil paintings," says Newell, "but I love both media, for different reasons." Oil is an ideal medium for still lifes, which are the bulk of Newell's work right now.
On occasion, Newell, like other artists, will paint "en plein air." This simply refers to painting outside in the elements. When Newell paints outside, she paints almost exclusively in oils, which are easier for her to set up. She indicated that the setup with pastels is heavier and she found that she spent a great amount of time looking in the grass for them. Newell donated two paintings to the Ambassador House, both in pastel, and one was done en plein air on-site.
As a member of several artists associations, such as the Indiana Artists Club founded by T.C. Steele and other notable artists in 1917, Brown County Art Guild, Hoosier Salon, Hamilton County Artists Association and Indiana Artisans, to name a few, Newell has gotten to know many amazing artists around the state. "What never ceases to amaze me is the deep pool of talent here," says Newell. "We are all mutually respectful and supportive of one another."
When asked about plein air sites in Indiana, Newell responds, "There is beauty all around. You just need to know where to look. And sometimes it's right outside your door, with the proper lighting. The only requirement is opening our eyes and our minds."

Label: Escape Music
Provided by: Zink
Distribution: Bonnier Amigo
Website: www.house-of-mirrors.com
Style: Melodic
Hard Rock / Melodic Metal
Cover artwork rating: 77/100
Reviewed by: Peter Laursen
Date: May 13th 2006
album for HOUSE OF MIRRORS,
their debut is called, "Nightflight
to Paradise" and was released in 2004. I'm
not familiar with the debut album so I can't compare them, but this
brand new release should be faster, more aggressive, but still melodic.
first I was quite disappointed with "Desolation" but of course I
gave it another chance
and now I like it a lot. Musically
the variation is great… we get every thing from Melodic Rock and Hard
Rock to Melodic… very Melodic Metal.
choruses are catchy they just need a few spins and the musicians know
what they are doing here. I
can't help it… but I compare them very much with another Finnish
band ALTARIA.
This is indeed a very pleasant album that easily could satisfy most Melodic
Hard Rock and Metal fans out here.
nothing new and groundbreaking but a very enjoyable album. Maybe
the ballad "Where are you Now" is a little too close to a KISS ballad called
"Reason to Live"…? The guitar riff in the beginning of this song
is an exact
copy of the riff in "Reason to Live".
But I can live with that.
check this album out if you are into Melodic Hard Rock or Melodic Metal.

Roy Samuel Reid (28 June 1944 — 27 November 1999, born in St. Thomas, Jamaica) better known as I-Roy was a Jamaican DJ who had a very prolific career during the 1970s.
Deriving his name, and to some extent his style, from U-Roy, Reid was also heavily influenced in his early career by Dennis Alcapone. With early recordings for Gussie Clarke, Glen Brown, Lee Perry and Bunny Lee, Reid established himself at the forefront of 1970s reggae DJ's. His debut album Presenting I Roy is considered a classic of its genre, and was followed up by a series of strong albums including Hell and Sorrow. Linton Kwesi Johnson dubs I-Roy "the mighty poet" in "Street 66" on the album, Bass Culture.
The mighty poet I-Roy was on the wire
Western did a skank; and each man laugh
an feelin Irie; dread I;
Street 66, the said man said
any policeman come ere
will get some righteous ras klaat licks
yeah man - whole heap kicks.
For several years from 1975, I-Roy engaged in an on-record slanging match with fellow DJ Prince Jazzbo, the two trading insults on successive singles, although in reality they were good friends. In 1976, I-Roy signed to Virgin Records with whom he would go on to release five albums. On occasion he would utilise The Revolutionaries as his backing band.
Reggae's move to the dancehall era in the 1980s saw I-Roy's popularity decline and although he continued to record, his output was not of the standard that he had set in the previous decade.
He died in 1999 of heart failure, at the age of fifty-five.<ref>I-Roy in Fuller Up - the Dead Musicians Directory</ref> He was homeless when he died.

The music of Chicago's Ex Okays contains an undeniably addictive quality, and perhaps this is due to the fact that each track serves as a masterful fusion of lightness, power, and successful sonic tropes from the past and present. The result is a finely-calibrated batch of musical work that the ear and mind alike do not quickly forget.
The young band (comprised of Johnny Cummings, Aidan Cahill, Dominic Folino, Donovan Thomas, and Elias Snyder) display a smart sense of craftsmanship and composition through their existing discography – which, for the record, will soon include a new album that's set for release within the next few days – which only amplifies the generated euphony. "Wanna Be Surfing," for example, melts an ethereal essence into chordal intricacy. The stylistic nexus catalyzes auditory intrigue, therefore giving Ex Okays an added layer of sophistication that is far from lost on the listener. Each of their tracks are nuanced to an impressive degree, containing plentiful layers, intriguing melodic interplay, and dynamic juxtaposition.
"Bothersome," the band's most recent single, is an effortless embodiment of these qualities. Blending a lightness with a dark, alluring groove, the music alone is instantaneously infectious. While many aspects of this track are wonderful, a blatant standout is the poignant, raw lyrics. Expertly detailing the web of complications people go through upon the fallout of a personal relationship, the lyrics smartly create a sense of familiarity – subsequently catalyzing connection between the track and the listener. Connection is the foundation through which meaning is infused into an artistic work, leading to the development of a relationship between the work and that who consumes it. By tackling universal emotions in a savvy manner in "Bothersome," Ex Okays have made it automatic, in essence, for listeners to establish a connection and relationship to their work.
Well played.
As stated earlier, Ex Okays are slated to release their first album, "GOOD/OLD DAYS" on Friday, June 29th. Before, that, though, a single from the album entitled "Amaranth Pink" will be released this Wednesday, June 20th.
Ex Okays have wowed listeners through singles and EPs, so one can only imagine all they'll deliver on their debut album. If their past work is any indication, we'll all be in for a real treat.

Bay of Bengal (NNS) -- The forward-deployed Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Antietam (CG 54) and Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS McCampbell (DDG 85) concluded the International Fleet Review (IFR) 2016 in India with a passing exercise (PASSEX) that involved multiple international navies in formation.
Both ships arrived in India on Feb. 4 to participate in IFR 2016, which was an international military exercise hosted by the Indian Navy to help enhance mutual trust and confidence with navies from around the world. During the five-day exercise, more than 50 countries participated in the event.
"IFR 2016 was a great opportunity to strengthen our partnership with Indian Navy and other navies from around the world on professional and personal levels," said Cmdr. Ed Sundberg, McCampbell's commanding officer. "An event where more than 50 navies gather together is a rare sight, and through IFR 2016, our sailors made new friends and learned about how other navies operate."
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson was also present at IFR 2016 to help deepen maritime partnerships between India and the United States. During IFR 2016, the officers and sailors of McCampbell had a unique chance to meet and talk to the CNO, who made a brief visit to the ship.
IFR 2016 provided an opportunity for the crews of both Antietam and McCampbell to enjoy a port visit to India, where they met sailors from all around the world.
Logistics Specialist 2nd Class Chancer Warner, from Norman, Oklahoma, said, "IFR 2016 was a unique experience. I will never forget my time spent in India because I not only learned about Indian culture, but variety of cultures from sailors around the world."
Antietam and McCampbell are forward-deployed to Yokosuka, Japan, and are on patrol in the 7th Fleet area of operation in support of security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific.

The drug world: taming a wild frontier
As a collegian in the late 60's and early 70's, and therefore a 40-plus year observer of drug use and abuse in America, I can't help but reflect with amazement on the changes I've seen. It's as if the drug world has turned upside down:
- Marijuana has gone from "Reefer Madness" to being viewed by many as a miracle drug that appears to be rapidly on its way to full legal status, treating many things, like epileptic seizures in children
- Heroin has gone from an urban ghetto drug to rampant and deadly use in affluent suburbs
- Opium has gone from a rarely seen substance, to its prescription opioid derivatives sitting in bowls for the taking in NFL training rooms as well as becoming the number 1 source of American drug addiction and death
- Doctors, not drug dealers, are the now the most prolific narcotics distributors in America
Across America, drug overdoses now kill more Americans than guns or cars do. According to a recent New York Times editorial, this stems from the mid-90s when pharmaceutical companies argued that doctors were under-treating pain and aggressively marketed opioids like OxyContin.
Even after executives of the company that made OxyContin pleaded guilty to a variety of criminal charges, profits still rolled in, and many users who could no longer get or afford prescriptions for it turned to heroin, which is cheaper and produces the same effect.
Here are a few examples of the non-recreational variety:
- A.D.H.D drugs, often unnecessarily prescribed, are an $11 billion a year industry
- Antipsychotic drug prescriptions for children have grown 7-fold in the last 20 years
- Johnson & Johnson registered $30 billion in sales of Risperdal before paying a $2 billion penalty for deceptively marketing its dangerous side effects for children
It goes without saying, of course, that prescription drugs are literally lifesavers. And when wonderful medications aren't curing malaria, lowering cholesterol or blood pressure and preventing heart attacks, antipsychotic drugs are also helping millions of people of all ages with mental illnesses to lead productive, happy lives.
That's why solving this problem is so difficult, and to solve it we have return to our core principles and values about how prescription medicines should be used. When New Oakland's founder, the late Dr. Ismail Sendi, opened the doors to the first of New Oakland's now seven locations in the early 90's, prescribing anti-psychotic drugs to children was viewed as a very delicate matter. According to Harvard psychiatrist and former director of the National Institute of Mental health, Dr. Steven Hyman, "Children, because their brains are still developing, are not just small adults."
As Dr. Sendi continually reminded us, a deep and thorough mental health diagnosis the only way to bridge the potentially deadly gap between the right medication and unnecessary over-prescription or the wrong prescription.
Today, New Oakland medical director, Dr. David Harris, carries on that essential philosophy."We treat each patient and family individually after our extensive diagnostic procedures," says Dr. Harris. "Our team of doctors, psychiatrists, social workers and therapists determine what the best course of treatment might be and whether medication needs to be part of the solution."
In respect and deference to Dr. Sendi's example, New Oakland continually strives to be a standard bearer of proper procedure, always putting the patient's health and safety first when it comes to prescribing medications.
It's because in a rapidly changing landscape for both the proper use and abuse of medications, rigorously following that philosophy can often be of life and death consequence.

The wait is over for alternative/indie duo Violet Night's debut LP, Colours Of You, which is out now and available for purchase at HERE & HERE. Colours Of You consists of ten atmospheric and anthemic songs about love, loss, hope, and happiness, and has recently been featured on NYLON and Alternative Press, amongst others. Fans can stream it now via Spotify and Apple Music. For more information, please visit www.violetnight.org.
"Our hope, beyond being there for people, is to inspire them to create their own Colours Of You. Music is therapeutic for both of us. It's carried us through the sunniest days and most violent storms of our lives," shares vocalist/guitarist Connor Pohl. "We just wanted to make something to give to others what we've received from so many beautiful records. There's no words to describe the feeling we get as artists knowing the music is resonating with people and helping them, even if it's just enough to get out of bed in the morning."
He continues: "We grew up on everything from heavy metal and rap, to emo and pop. We try to create a colourful mosaic of all those influences when we write; we've never created with borders or put limitations on what we are allowed to sound like. We'll always do whatever feels most honest to us at that moment in our lives and I think we've done that here. We are really proud of the album and hope the hues presented complement yours: the colours of you."
Violet Night don't just play their instruments; they use them as tools to carefully construct emotion. Hailing from rural British Columbia, vocalist/guitarist Connor Pohl and keyboardist T.J. Rounthwaite aim to traverse soundscapes as diverse as their province's landscapes. From the soaring heights of mountains to the tranquil beauty of a forest, the sky's the limit with this band's sound and potential.
A recent mainstage appearance at Grizfest and co-headlining B.C. run with The Statistics proved Violet Night's charisma belongs on the stage, as much as their creativity belongs in the studio. With the floodgates of possibility opened and waves already forming, be prepared to be awash in Colours of You – and Violet Night.

The Majlis truly enjoys a prominent position in our government. It is the house of the nation and, as our magnanimous Imam said, it is the essence of the nation's virtues and is in charge of all affairs. The Majlis is the manifestation of our national grandeur. It can reveal our national and Islamic grandeur to the world. It helps promote our public interests. It is the laws made at the Majlis that prepares the ground for the officials to progress. In fact the Majlis is one of the greatest, most important and most critical paths that the Islamic order must pass in order to achieve its goals. The Islamic Consultative Assembly enjoys such a position.
Our magnanimous Imam Khomeini (r.a) always used to emphasize the importance of massive turnout in all elections held from the beginning of the Islamic Revolution to the time when His Eminence passed away. If people take part in the elections and insightfully elect qualified candidates with open eyes and vote them into the Majlis, the Majlis will be able to fulfill this great role.

When asked how she was able to achieve success in the classroom and in athletics at PHS, Rebecca replied, "staying organized, staying on top of the work, and working really hard."
After graduating from PHS, Rebecca traveled downstate to Terre Haute and attended Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. There she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering. Later she earned her Master's degree in Chemical Engineering from Purdue University.
Rebecca is now married to her husband, Sid, and they live in Terre Haute. She currently works as a Researcher at the non-profit Healthy Building Network. There Rebecca works to improve human and environmental health through the reduction of hazardous chemical use in building products.
The PHS Athletic Department wishes Rebecca continued success in her life. We also want to thank her for contributing information for this article.

Beautiful textiles made by the Shoowa tribe from the Kuba Kingdom. The splendid Shoowa textiles are an essential part of the KUBA tribal culture. They are extremely laborious to make - men are in charge of the softening of the palm fibres and of the weaving, the women take care of the embroidery. The making of 1 textile takes between 4 to 6 months! The fascinating geometrical designs always have a specific meaning - we can also find these motives on the body scarification of Kuba men and women.
Shoowa textiles are used as currency, or as means of trade, and are an essential part of the dowry.

Episode 9
The Outsiders: "An Open Secret" (Matthew 11:2-6)
31 March 2019
21 mins 19 secs
Season 2
About this Episode
In our everyday lives, where do we see people following the teachings of Jesus? Maybe we observe these interactions at work, or while running errands, or at social events, or other activities.
In our passage today, Jesus tells John the Baptist's disciples, "Go and tell John what you hear and see:..." These words are followed by mentions of healings and compassion for the people of God. Jesus tells them that his ministry is to those outside the perimeters of society, to those people who need kindness, acceptance and healing. It is not a secret. It's right there in front of them if they would just pay attention. These teachings have been passed down through generations and are now passed to us. It is our responsibility to pass them on to future generations.
In our busy lives, do we take the time to notice others carrying out the teachings of Jesus? Can we slow down enough to watch for these moments? Do we show kindness and Christ's love to others we encounter each day? Opportunities are anywhere, at any time, and can be as simple as a smile, a kind word, a quick phone call or email, or even a compliment. As we go about our lives this week, let's look for others who are following Christ's teachings. And may others also observe us sharing the kindness and love of Christ in our interactions with God's people.

Inspired by 29texan's "City & Town" Facebook cover photos, I decided to make signatures using city skyline pictures. Here are a few examples: I will take any requests, but it would be great if you could provide me the logo and wordmark in a transparent .svg - I may be able to work around it not being transparent - photo (Wikipedia usually has primaries). You do not need to post the wordmark if you just want the logo and not the wordmark. If you do not provide these, I will try and find them but no guarantees. If you have a certain picture you want in the background, post that too. If you decide to use these in your sig, please give me credit. If you want I can also put two sigs together like you see in mine. Here are my new sigs, championship sigs! Please specify if you want a championship sig in your request, otherwise I will make a Skyline & Landmark sig.

Element Name: WOMANIUM
Symbol: WO
Atomic Weight: (don't even go there)
Physical properties: Generally soft and round in form. Boils at nothing and may freeze any time. Melts when treated properly. Very bitter if not used well.
Chemical properties: Very active. Highly unstable. Possesses strong affinity with gold, silver, platinum, and precious stones. Violent when left alone. Able to absorb great amounts of exotic food. Turns slightly green when placed next to a better specimen.
Usage: Highly ornamental. An extremely good catalyst for dispersion of wealth. Probably the most powerful income reducing agent known.
Caution: Highly explosive in inexperienced hands!
Element Name: MANIUM
Symbol: XY
Atomic Weight: (120 +/ - 50)
Physical properties: Solid at room temperature, but gets bent out of shape easily. Fairly dense and sometimes flaky. Difficult to find a pure sample. Due to rust, aging samples are unable to conduct electricity as easily as young samples.
Chemical properties: Attempts to bond with WO any chance it can get. Also tends to form strong bonds with itself. Becomes explosive when mixed with KD (Element: CHILDIUM) for prolonged period of time. Neuralize by saturating with alcohol.
Usage: None known. Possibly good methane source. Good samples are able to
produce large quantities on command.
Caution: In the absence of WO, this element rapidly decomposes and begins to smell

Ten of the ugliest people in the world are all riding on a bus somewhere, when the bus crashes, and they all die. They go to heaven, and on arrival, they are greeted by God himself.
"As a reward for living your life so ugly," God says, "I will grant you each one wish."
The first person in line wishes to be beautiful, the second person wishes the same thing, as does the third, fourth and so on. When it comes to be the last person in line's turn, God see's him just laughing his ass off.
"What is so funny my son?" asks God.
The man does not reply, so God just asks for his wish.
"I wish, that all those people are ugly again." replies the man.
There's this forrest, and a magical turtle lives in it. One day he sees a bear chasing a rabbit so he stops them and tells them that they can each have 3 wishes.
For his 1st wish the bear says that he wishes all the bears in this forrest were female except for him. Done.
The rabbit says "I wish for a motorcycle." The turtle and bear are a bit confused, but the wish is granted anyways.
For his 2nd wish the bear says "I wish that all the bears in the neighbouring forrests were female except for me." Done.
The rabbit wishes for a helmet.
For his 3rd wish the bear says "I wish that all the bears in the whole world were female except for me." Done.
The rabbit says "I wish that the bear was gay." And he jumps on his motorcycle and rides away.
A guy was watching the game, drinking a few beers and popping beer nuts into his mouth, when his wife began yelling at him. He turned his head toward her and accidentally popped a beer nut into his ear. Both him and his wife tried and tried but neither could get it out. All right she said, lets get you to the hospital. As they walked outside their daughter and her boyfriend walked up and she asked, where are you and dad going. The mother said, we're off to the hospital, your father has a beer nut caught in his ear. The boyfriend then asked, before you go can I try to dislodge it. The boyfriend then stuck two fingers up the fathers nose and told him to blow. The father blew and out popped the beer nut. The mother then asked the father, our daughters boyfriend is so intelligent, what do you think he'll be when he grows up. The father replied, by the smell of his fingers, our son-in-law.
What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
So, one can then conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and knowledge will get you close, and, Attitude will get you there, Bullshit and Ass kissing will put you over the top.

Family too distraught to comment after search for diver ended
THE search for missing man Matthew Shrimpton has been called off.
The 35-year-old's family, who live in Taupo, New Zealand, were yesterday too distraught to comment.
Mr Shrimpton is believed to have fallen into the ocean on Saturday evening while piloting a dory about 100 nautical miles east-south-east of Mackay.
It has been reported he and another man were fishing for sea cucumbers between Paul Reef and Storm Cay Reef.
A Queensland police spokeswoman said both Yeppoon and Gladstone water police patrolled the search area yesterday.
She said the search had been suspended at 2.15pm.
The Australian Marine Safety Authority called off its aerial search at 4pm on Monday.
At the height of the search, six fixed-wing aircraft and four helicopters were used to search for Mr Shrimpton.
A total of 16 SES volunteers were deployed with AMSA, and were also stood down on Monday.
Mackay SES controller Justin Englert said personnel had been specifically trained to locate people lost at sea.
"Our job is to be the eyes and report anything of interest we see," he said.
Rough conditions were reported to have hampered rescue efforts, but Mr Englert said the air observers were well trained.
"It doesn't matter if it's calm or there are white caps," he said.
"Volunteers are trained to maintain personal discipline and keep searching with particular techniques they're trained to do, and not divert from that job until given a rest period from the pilot."
An AMSA spokeswoman said searches were generally carried out for as long as medical advice suggested the person could survive.
"We do consult medical advice and, based on information available at the time, that determines... the search," she said.
In June last year, three Mackay men spent 15 hours clinging to a single life jacket in waters off Prudhoe Island.

Forty Guns is a 1957 gothic western film written and directed by Samuel Fuller, filmed in black-and-white CinemaScope and released by the 20th Century Fox studio. The film stars Barbara Stanwyck, Barry Sullivan and Gene Barry.
In the 1880s, Griff Bonnell and his brothers Wes and Chico arrive in the town of Tombstone in Cochise County, Arizona.[2] Griff is a reformed gunslinger, now working for the Attorney General's office, looking to arrest Howard Swain for mail robbery.
Swain is one of landowner Jessica Drummond's forty hired guns. She runs the territory with an iron fist, permitting the town to be terrorized and trashed by her brother, Brockie Drummond, and his boys. Brockie is an arrogant drunk and bully, but he goes too far by shooting vision-impaired town Marshal, Chisolm, in the leg. Thereupon, Brockie and his drunken friends start trashing the town.
Griff intervenes and pistol-whips Brockie with a single blow while Wes covers him with a rifle from the gunsmith shop. Aware of how close Brockie is to his sister, Griff makes it a point not to crack Brockie's. Jessica delivered Brockie when their mother gave birth for the last time.
Wes falls in love with Louvenie Spanger, the daughter of the town gunsmith, so he decides to settle down and become the town's marshal. Griff becomes romantically involved with Jessica after she is dragged by a horse during a tornado.
Two of Jessica's forty dragoons, Logan and Savage, attempt an ambush of Griff in an alley. He is saved by youngest brother Chico, who was supposed to be leaving for California for a new life on a farm. Chico's shot kills Savage, after which Jessica's brother and hired guns try to turn the town against the Bonnell brothers.
On his wedding day, Wes is gunned down by Brockie, who is really aiming at Griff (who leans forward to kiss the bride, thereby unknowingly saving himself). Brockie is jailed for the murder. He tries to escape by using his sister as a shield, daring Griff to shoot, and is shocked when Griff does exactly that. Griff's expertly-placed bullet merely wounds Jessica, and the cowardly Brockie then becomes the first man Griff has had to kill in ten years. Brockie's last words are "Mr. Bonnell, I'm killed!"
Chico remains behind to take the marshal's job. Griff rides out, certain that Jessica hates him for killing her brother, but she runs down the dirt street after his buckboard - repeatedly calling out "Griff! Mr. Bonnell!" - and they appear to ride off together for California.

- Barry Sullivan as Griff Bonnell
- Gene Barry as Wes
- Robert Dix as Chico
- Dean Jagger as Logan
- John Ericson as Brockie
- Hank Worden as Chisolm
Fuller uses every opportunity to show off the widescreen format while employing extensive use of close-ups and one of the longest tracking shots ever done at Fox's studio at that time.

Demanding action on local pollution and the environment
The Liberal Democrat Team with Neil Christian have been at the forefront of the campaign to highlight the pollution on the A6 through Disley and Newtown. We have drawn attention to the high levels of nitrogen oxides, exceeding legal limits at monitoring stations and near the village centre. As we predicted the number of Diesel heavy lorries using the A6 significantly increased since the A555 Airport link road opened. Local resident's complaints have fallen on deaf ears. Neil said "its time we had an MP that was willing to do something about the pollution and congestion, this situation cannot continue as it has".
Air pollution is a killer. It contributes to 40,000 premature deaths a year and costs the NHS £15 billion. That's why the Liberal Democrats will pass a Clean Air Act, based on World Health Organisation guidelines, enforced by a new Air Quality Agency, enshrining the legal right to unpolluted air wherever people live.
Neil said "We have championed reducing carbon emissions in government, cutting dependence on fossil fuel is a priority. In Government we will pass a Zero Carbon Britain Act to set new legally binding targets to reduce net UK greenhouse gas emissions to zero, and work within the EU to set binding targets for a net-zero emissions".

Lost Easter Eggs
The ad made a reference to making a "better future" and referred to the Hanso foundation. I followed the URL (www.letyourcompassbeyourguide.com) in the ad and it took me to an interesting page. It worked last night, during the episode, but not tonight. Hmm.
The page simply a compass needle that would follow your mouse pointer. There was a hyperlink that would take you to another page.
There was some mumbo-jumbo quasi unix shell stuff that asked the question "Are you one of the good ones?"
If you answered no, you were taken to the Hanso Foundation webpage.
If you answered yes, you were taken to what looked like a backdoor into the Hanso Foundation user accounts. I don't remember the URL...
I stumbled upon an Easter Egg... I poked around and then found some references to a book that didn't speak too highly of the Hanso Foundation, Bad Twin published by Hyperion Books. I looked for that on the web and I found it and it refers to the last writings of the author Gary Traub before he went down on Oceanic Flight 815.
What I find surprising is that I actually found all this. I don't usually catch these things. As I've been trying to reconstruct what I did last night, I've discovered that this is part of some interactive online game... I found a blog at TV Guide that refers to this...
Now isn't all this interesting?
2 comments:
The last four episodes have had these Hanso Foundation commercials about three-quarters of the way through. The first commercial had a number: 1-877-HANSORG, with a recording that has changed at least once. The second commercial had the url URL: http://www.hansorg.com. The next one was http://www.bornamerican.com. You saw the most recent one. Bad Twin is a manuscript that Sawyer was reading until Jack tossed it into the first. The day after I saw that episode, I was at the airport and saw it in the airport concessions. The guys at ABC have a crack marketing team for Lost, clearly a bunch of geeks who have either played or have heard of games like "I Love Bees". I can't wait to see what they do next!

I kept seeing the Hanso Foundation commercials and thinking "That sounds a lot like the Dharma Initiative, only real. I bet it's just as shady." I guess that's why gullible isn't in the dictionary. That's cool that you followed the link and found all that interesting stuff. I heard a while back that they were going to be putting easter eggs in the commercials during the show, but I thought it was just going to be some lame reference in a Pepsi commercial. This is far more clever.

It's a short holiday work week, as the nation celebrates its 243rd birthday on Thursday.
For most of American history, we've struggled to define what our most important principles as a nation are. For me, it's about freedom, fairness, and truly equal opportunity for everyone. We haven't always lived up to these ideals, and for many Americans our patriotism is tempered by a recognition of how we have failed from the beginning to make these promises reality for everyone.
But that doesn't mean progressives aren't patriots. In a troubling era of hateful politics seeking to exploit and divide Americans, progressives keep the fight for fairness and equality alive everywhere we have a voice in government. When thoughtless and greedy men try to dismantle the institutions middle class America relies on like Social Security and Medicare to give the wealthiest among us a tax break, we fight back–and every year we preserve these institutions against the odds, millions of Americans are able to keep going.
The lives and quality of life we fight to uphold for every American as progressives, year after year, are victories in and of themselves. And they're reasons to be proud of America no matter who is President. Progressive values are what made America great, they will keep America great, and if necessary will make America great again as many times as it takes.
Thanks again for everything you do to help, and here are a few more ways to take action for the week of July 1:
Supreme Court Consider Trumps Repeal of DACA: Whats Next?
On Thursday, June 28th the US Supreme Court decided that they will take up the case on the repeal of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals that has been fought in court since September of 2017 when the Trump administration announced that it would be ending the program. We expect a decision in the coming year. The Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition will be hosting an educational forum in which we will go over what comes next and what when we believe we can expect a ruling on this lawsuit defending the program. We will have a lawyer present to answer questions the public may have about what we can still do in light of this new information and what we can not longer do. Learn what you should now about the program now and what we can do to fight for a permanent solution.

Longitude and Elastic Stack
New in Longitude V11 is integration with open-source Elastic Stack. Elastic Stack is a collection of open-source products from Elastic which deliver a number of capabilities, among them the ability to visualize, as well as search through unstructured data.
Longitude leverages two key components of the Elastic Stack:
- Elasticsearch - a NoSQL database based on the Lucene search engine.
- Kibana - a web interface that delivers a rich set of searching and visualization capabilities.
Longitude V11 now supports the capability to initiate a second data-flow - sending agentlessly collected data directly to Elasticsearch.
Elasticsearch (a NoSQL database) houses the Longitude data in indices (think of an index as the equivalent of a database in a traditional relational database). The data in the indices are stored as documents (think of a document as the equivalent of a record in a relational database). Documents contain within them the definition of the structure and type of data that reside within them. Elasticsearch stores all the information for a given object in a JSON formatted document.
A main advantage of document-based databases is the data can be unstructured, because each document uniquely defines what is in it. In a relational database records are fixed, so making changes to the structure to accommodate new and different data is an onerous process.
Because the quantity and structure of key performance and availability metrics associates with IT infrastructures and applications is constantly changing, the ability to readily ingest new and different data becomes especially important.
The Longitude indices hold two forms of data:
- Performance and availability metrics which are agentlessly collected by Longitude from private, public or hybrid cloud infrastructures
This is a sample Longitude document in Elasticsearch, showing a set of network performance metrics for a virtual machine.
- Events collected by Longitude
Events are generated when collected performance and availability metrics are evaluated by Longitude's rule engine and a potential problem is detected. These events contain detail as to the specifics of a problem, including appropriate diagnostics.
This is sample Longitude event stored as a document in Elasticsearch.
Depending on IT's requirements this document can be easily enriched by Longitude with additional problem and resolution information.
Kibana is the web interface that delivers visualizations (i.e. bar charts, pie charts, line charts, tables, maps... etc.) using Elasticsearch data. Because Elasticsearch is built on top of Apache Lucene, a high-performance search engine, users can also easily search, analyze, and visualize Longitude event data.
Longitude V11 ships with a set of pre-configured Kibana dashboards that allow users to readily visualize IT infrastructure and application performance data collected by Longitude.
Elastic Stack and Longitude Together
The Elastic Stack / Longitude integration enhances the experience for both Longitude and Elastic Stack users. The deployment itself can be accomplished in just a few steps.
Longitude users can now take advantage of Kibana's data visualization and exploration functions.
Elastic Stack users can now agentlessly receive IT infrastructure and application performance metrics from private, public or hybrid cloud infrastructures.
The Longitude Console directs Remote Statistics Servers which are lightweight proxies that can be distributed throughout private, public or hybrid cloud infrastructures to agentlessly collect key performance and availability data from servers, network devices, and applications -- using appropriate protocols and API's. (i.e. WMI, PowerShell, SSH, vSphere API, JDBC, SNMP, and more.).
The KPIs and events are then rolled up to any combination of Elasticsearch and Longitude instances.
Elastic Stack users need not be concerned with deploying agents as no code is deployed on the monitored servers and network devices to collect key performance and availability metrics.

Pucher currently serves as an independent city councillor in Prešov.
"I do not want to comment on this," Pucher told Korzár.
Police Presidium spokesperson Michal Slivka meanwhile confirmed that the NAKA investigator accused altogether 13 people with property and economic crimes and corruption. This concerns several cases. One of them pertains to the plans to build canalisation in Družstevná pri Hornáde and Kostoľany nad Hornádom villages in Košice Region, while the other, where also Pucher's name is mentioned, relates to the reconstruction of a primary school in Prešov. Both were to be done by the same company.
Several people were allegedly interested in receiving contributions from EU funds. In the latter case, the whole action was organised and administered by Maroš R., an employee of the abovementioned company. He signed the invoice and list of works which were approved by Peter K., who carried out the work together with František H.
After receiving the request to repay the invoice, which contained also the attachments describing unrealised works, the Agriculture Ministry paid the sum.
According to police, Andrej S. and Maroš R. promised René P. a bribe in connection with this project, which René P. also accepted. In return, he enabled the company to continue in construction works which had been halted by the construction authority. Maroš R. allegedly asked Andrej S. for a bribe for the committee of the city council which was to recommend financing the works from the city's budget, the SITA newswire wrote.
The accused men now face two to 12 years in prison if found guilty. They are prosecuted at large, SITA reported.

Last week I decided I would do a review of Joe Wicks Lean In 15 book. I chose 3 random recipes to cook throughout the week to assist with my overall opinion. I love to cook and try new things, so this was an absolute joy for me.
I read the book completely to get an understanding of what it was about. I very well couldn't just cook some meals and say whether or not you should go buy it. I totally agree with a lot of what Joe has to say in his book. Society has misconstrued our visions of healthy foods. Because of the media and faulty studies from the 1950s, a lot of people reach out for fat-free yogurts, fortified breads and milk with extra vitamins. Why? Advertising and manufacturers lead you to believe that by eating these things you are improving your health and living a better lifestyle. Sure, in a sense you are because you're thinking about what you're eating and trying to make informed decisions. My argument to this is simple, why do you need manufactured foods to be healthy? Eat
natural for the healthiest option.
Lets take my mother-in-law as an example. The poor soul suffers from osteoporosis. Because of this, she started taking a multivitamin and all sorts of foods fortified with vitamin D thinking it would help. She now has toxic levels of vitamin D in her system causing her extraordinary pain in her abdomen and is exasperating a prior condition she has. Now was she wrong in doing what she did? Of course not, she was doing what she thought was best based on what society and the media have told her. The brilliant thing about Lean In 15, it isn't afraid of fats. So many people think fat is the enemy, but our bodies need it. It's about eating the right foods to get the fat, such as avocados and not chocolate. I mean we all need a little bit of chocolate though don't we?

Fully functional evaluation version.No credit card required
IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) was among first vendor-neutral CAD formats designed to enable interoperability between different CAD systems. The latest versions of IGES have been approved by ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and published by US PRO (U.S. Product Data Association). The latest officially approved version of the IGES standard is version 5.3 which was published in 1996. Nonetheless, IGES remains a broadly used format (along with STEP) supported by all major CAD/CAM/CAE systems such as CATIA, Autodesk Inventor, Solidworks, Solid Edge, NX, Pro/Engineer, Creo and multiple others. IGES files usually have *.igs or *.iges file name extensions.Read more
JT (Jupiter Tesselation) is an ISO-standardized 3D data format and is in industry used for product visualization, collaboration, CAD data exchange, and in some also for long-term data retention. It can contain any combination of approximate (faceted) data, boundary representation surfaces (B-Rep), Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI), and Metadata (textual attributes) either exported from the native CAD system or inserted by a product data management (PDM) system.
In 2012 JT received a status of international standard ISO14306.
JT files are used in product lifecycle management (PLM) software programs and their respective CAD solutions, by engineers and other professionals that need to analyze the geometry of complex products. The format and associated software is structured so that extremely large numbers of components can be quickly loaded, shaded and manipulated in real-time. Because all major 3D CAD formats are supported, a JT assembly can contain a mixture of any combination which has led to the term "multi-CAD". As JT is typically implemented as an integral part of a PLM solution, the resulting multi-CAD assembly is managed such that changes to the original CAD product definition files can be automatically synchronized with their associated JT files resulting in a multi-CAD assembly that is always up-to-date.
CAD Exchanger supports all recent versions of JT which are most broadly used in industry from JT8 to JT10.Read more

The Castle, that dates back to 1383, hosts in the inside a museum dedicated to the ancient jobs and activities that were once practiced around Lake Garda.
This year, from 24.03 to 21.10.2018 the Scaliger Castle host an interesting exhibition dedicated to the Great War. It deals with a collection of testimonies that told where the soldiers faced each other, where they lived. It isn' t a list of names and dates, but a real collection of feelings and emotions.

In the early days of homeschooling, parents had to order from catalogs or go to a homeschool convention to purchase materials. For encouragement, they depended on co-ops and support groups. Now, online ordering and social media have made homeschooling much more convenient. However, there are still some really great reasons that homeschoolers should attend their state convention or local conference!
Coronavirus Update
Several in-person homeschool conventions have been cancelled in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic. We have updated this guide to reflect that; the section on online homeschool conventions has more information and has been moved to the top. If you're aware of an online convention that isn't on the list, please tell us about it in the comments.
We here at Demme Learning are doing what we can to help. Though we may not be able to see you in-person, we have an amazing group of people ready and willing to help. We know many people attend homeschool conferences to learn more about products and receive discounts. We have resources for you:
Use "DL2020" at store.demmelearning.com during check out to receive 10% off your order. Free Shipping is available for all orders over $30. This offer is good through April 30th.
You can download a PDF of our Magalog (combination magazine and catalog). It has great information about our products and a few articles to help you get started out.
We have removed the login from the webinar section of the Demme Learning Guild. This gives you access to over 30 hours of curated instruction and support from our staff.
Please feel free to share this information with your friends and family. We desire to be a source of help during this trying time.

Homeschool Teaching 2.0 Summit
March 2-6, 2020
How do you balance discipling your children's character while working through math lessons and field trips and laundry and spelling tests and so much more? How about this: The Homeschool Teaching Summit will refresh your excitement for the journey, equip you with practical management tools, and transform your vision for education and discipleship.
5 Reasons to Attend a Homeschool Convention
Let me offer five reasons why, in my opinion, all homeschoolers should attend a homeschool convention.
1) Support Others
Think back to your early homeschooling days. You can probably identify at least one person who helped you get started, answered your questions, and encouraged you over the rough spots. The homeschooling convention provides an opportunity for you to offer that same support to others. When you're walking the convention hall, watch for the newbie with the "deer in the headlights" look or the veteran homeschooler who droops with discouragement. You never know who you might be able to encourage!
2) Educate Yourself
Education is a constantly-changing field. As a home instructor, you owe it to yourself and your family to keep abreast of the latest developments. What new curriculum materials are available? What new ideas or techniques will help you in your teaching? Attending a homeschool convention will help you answer these questions.
3) Renew Your Vision
Why are you homeschooling? This question might take you aback for a moment, but it's important to stop regularly and revisit why you made this important decision. The homeschooling convention can help you focus on what's really important — the vision for what you do on a daily basis.
4) Visit the Vendors
If you're a homeschooling veteran, you may be tempted to visit only certain vendors or bypass the exhibit hall entirely. But wait! Curriculum providers depend on customer feedback to help them determine whether they're on the right track. If you let vendors know what you like and don't like about their programs, the quality of homeschooling curriculum in general will improve, benefiting everyone.
5) Excel in Your Calling
If you have been called to homeschool, then you should train for your calling. The homeschooling convention provides the perfect opportunity to listen, learn, interact, and grow so that you can pursue excellence in your ministry as a homeschooling parent.
Notice that the first letters in the numbered points above spell out the word "SERVE." A homeschool convention is an opportunity to serve — serve your family, serve other homeschoolers, and serve the vendors. Homeschooling conventions are an important resource; make sure you take advantage of the one nearest you this year.
Tips on How to Survive a Homeschool Convention
Whether it's your first time or your fifteenth, attending a homeschool convention can be a challenge. You can come home enriched and encouraged, or you can come home defeated and drained—physically, mentally, and financially.
The following tips are offered to help you become the victorious conqueror of the homeschool convention.
Plan Ahead
Avoid the temptation to procrastinate — start planning early!
There are several important considerations to keep in mind when deciding how you will spend your time at the convention.
Think Through Travel & Lodging
Consider both economy and convenience. It may be cheaper to stay at a friend's house, but it may make more sense to book a hotel that's close to the convention.
Register Early
Take advantage of any "early bird" discounts, and get all the information you can about the convention ahead of time: featured speakers, workshops, vendors, map, directions, etc.
With this information in hand, you can begin planning your personal agenda.
Review the Schedule
Highlight the sessions you really want to attend. Consider alternate choices so that, if your first choice is full or turns out to be a dud, you can quickly slide into another session. Don't feel that you need to attend a workshop every time one is offered.
If it's a vendor workshop, you may be able to get the same information by visiting the booth in the exhibit hall.
Many conventions provide recordings of the sessions, which you can purchase for a nominal fee.
Think ahead to the exhibit hall. Be sure your personal agenda includes plenty of time for visiting the exhibit hall and for just plain resting. Homeschool conventions can be exhausting if you don't stop to recharge your batteries.
Before You Go
Print out your registration confirmation, lodging information, directions, maps, and any other materials that you will need.
At the Convention
Into the fray! Armed with your personal agenda, you arrive on time and find a seat in your first workshop. Not what you expected? Don't feel obligated to stay! Either slip into your alternate selection or revise your agenda – it's meant to be a guide, not a dictator.
Perhaps you decide to visit the exhibit hall first. Be sure to give yourself time for at least three laps around, if the venue is not too large. The first time, look over all the booths, without stopping, to get a general overview of what's available. Then take some time to decide which booths you want to visit more extensively.
On your second trip around, stop at the booths where you would like to get more information, enter drawings, or pick up catalogs. Now plan an extensive break that will allow you to make your final purchasing decisions.
Since you have scheduled your day wisely, given yourself breaks, and kept hydrated, you will come to the end of the convention feeling tired but happy. You will have gained inspiration and a renewed focus, ready to continue leading your family in its homeschooling adventure. You — yes, you! — have survived the homeschool convention!
What to Pack for a Homeschool Convention
At the very least you'll want to pack your bag with comfy walking shoes and a notebook or electronic device for recording information.
If the venue allows, pack your own water and food, as you will be talking a lot.
Take a large tote bag (or, better yet, a bag on wheels, if permitted by the venue) for catalogs and purchases.
The following is a list of other items you may want to include in your homeschool convention packing list:
• Shopping list
• Phone chargers
• Camera
• Small first aid kit
• Activities and games for the littles
• Sweater or jacket

Company Demonstrates GMD Rocket Vehicle's Design and Gathers Important Flight Data for Future Intercept MissionsOrbital Sciences Corporation (NYSE: ORB) announced today that it successfully launched the first prototype of the interceptor boost vehicle the company is developing and manufacturing for the U.S. Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system under a contract from The Boeing Company. In a mission that originated from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, Orbital's GMD boost vehicle was launched at 4:00 p.m. (EST). It flew a ballistic trajectory over the Pacific Ocean, reaching an altitude of approximately 1,125 miles and traveling about 3,500 miles down range from the launch site.
Following preliminary post-flight analysis of the data collected from the mission, Orbital confirmed that all the primary objectives for the first launch of the GMD boost vehicle were achieved. These included the verification of the vehicle design and flight characteristics, the gathering of flight data through comprehensive onboard instrumentation, and the confirmation of the expected performance of the propulsion system.
"With the successful launch of our inaugural GMD boost vehicle, we have completed the first step toward the full development of a high-performance, reliable booster to help defend our nation," said Mr. Ron Grabe, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Orbital's Launch Systems Group. "I would like to commend the joint Boeing/Orbital team and our key suppliers for maintaining an extremely aggressive schedule to design, produce, test and deliver a new boost vehicle for the Missile Defense Agency in just 13 months, from the start of the contract to today's successful launch," he added.
Under a contract from Boeing, Orbital is developing, manufacturing and testing interceptor boost vehicles for MDA's GMD system. The contract is valued at nearly $1 billion, including firm and optional orders. The firm portion of the company's contract, awarded in early 2002, is valued at approximately $450 million and extends through 2007. Orbital's GMD boost vehicle is a three-stage system based on flight-proven hardware that has flown over 40 times on missions carried out by the company's Pegasus(R), Taurus(R) and Minotaur space launch vehicles.
Orbital's space launch vehicles, missile defense boosters and related suborbital rockets are primarily produced at the company's engineering and manufacturing facility in Chandler, Arizona and its vehicle assembly and integration facilities at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. The launch vehicles are used by commercial, civil government and military agencies to deliver small satellites into low altitude orbits above the Earth and in missile defense systems, both as threat-simulating target vehicles and potentially as interceptor boosters for U.S. national defense systems. Orbital is one of the world's leading developers and manufacturers of small space systems for commercial, civil government and military customers. The company employs approximately 2,000 people at major facilities in Virginia, Maryland, Arizona and California. In addition to its launch vehicle products, Orbital is a leading supplier of satellites, including low-orbit, geostationary and planetary spacecraft for communications, remote sensing and scientific missions. The company also offers space-related technical services to government agencies and develops and builds satellite-based transportation management systems for public transit agencies and private vehicle fleet operators.

Thoughts on Fasting
From Ezra 8:
To find a right way:
1) For Us v.21 (Ezra 8:21)
2) For our Children v.21
3) For our Substance v.21
V.23 – They fasted and God was intreated.
V.22 – They were ashamed to ask the king for soldiers to help against their enemy since they had publicly stated God would help.
V.31 – God's hand was on them and helped.
From Isaiah 58:
Fast to:
1)Loose the bands of wickedness
2)Undo heavy burdens
3) Set free the oppressed
4)Break every yoke
From Matthew 6:
Fast secretly and let God reward you openly.

Thirty-year fixed mortgage rates edged upward by a basis point, and so did rates on 5/1 ARMs, according to a NerdWallet survey of daily mortgage rates published by national lenders Friday morning. Fifteen-year fixed mortgages were unchanged.
In a speech this morning at the Federal Reserve's annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Fed Board Chair Janet Yellen defended the legislative and regulatory response to the 2008 economic crisis.
"In retrospect, mortgage borrowing was clearly too easy for some households in the mid-2000s, resulting in debt burdens that were unsustainable and ultimately damaging to the financial system," Yellen said.
Regulators all but banned the riskiest mortgages, such as payment-option ARMs, in which the minimum monthly payment didn't even cover that month's interest.
"The United States, through coordinated regulatory action and legislation, moved very rapidly to begin reforming our financial system, and the speed with which our banking system returned to health provides evidence of the effectiveness of that strategy," Yellen said.
MORTGAGE RATES TODAY, Friday, AUG. 25:
(Change from 8/24)
30-year fixed: 4.00% APR (+0.01)
15-year fixed: 3.43% APR (NC)
NerdWallet daily mortgage rates are an average of the published annual percentage rate with the lowest points for each loan term offered by a sampling of major national lenders. APR quotes reflect an interest rate plus points, fees and other expenses, providing the most accurate view of the costs a borrower might pay.

It's finally here. For those who've kept an eye on the large Canton Crossing project, you can now go forth and shop (and dine!), since the first crop of stores are now open for business. While many of the stores that have opened at Canton Crossing are national chains like Old Navy, Target and Five Below that need no introduction, we're excited that many of the dining establishments at the Crossing (are we allowed to just start calling it that?) are true local favorites—like Samos, Atwater's and Mission BBQ.
Not all of the Canton Crossing businesses are open yet—some won't open until 2014. And which are we looking forward to the most? Farmstead Grill—which will be a farm-to-table style restaurant developed by the folks behind Fells Point's Waterfront Kitchen. The Farmstead will apparently also be accompanied by a more carryout-oriented kiosk. Of course, it'll be hard to choose between a visit to the Farmstead and the soup and sandwiches we already know and love from Atwater's. But for now, the local eats at Canton Crossing are offered by Mission BBQ. In other words, we can enjoy their ribs and "cool slaw" while they take the next few months to decide on the rest.
Canton Crossing is located at 3501 Boston Street in Baltimore. For more information on openings, visit www.theshopsatcantoncrossing.com. Old Navy, ULTA Beauty, LOFT, Sleepy's, Nail Trix, Yogi Castle, Fresh Cleaners, DSW and Target have opened. AT & T, Five Below, Samos will open in the next week and Michael's will open October 20.
