For almost six years, I blogged steadily. Then I closed up my shop, called it a day and moved on. Literally, to another state, a new career. I started a blog at my new (new, then) workplace because I missed the daily writing terribly. Now, four years later I'm ready to start again. Here and also here.
Starting again…

I unlock the security gate and open the sliding door. The early morning air is cool, not cold, refreshing. I turn around, close the security gate and shut the sliding door. It is Monday morning and I'm walking.
I stroll till the end of the driveway and turn left into Hanepoot Street. (For those not familiar with the name, it's a variety of grape.)
At the end of the road, I take a left. It seems to be the theme this morning, left and then left again.
It appears most people have left for work already; the streets are quiet on the first day of the week. I take a look down Barbarossa as I pass. Can't say that it looks different than the last time, but also not that it looks the same. I ponder if the people who live on Barbarossa notice it too, or don't notice it for that matter.
A block on, I take a left, again, into Hanepoot. It's a circular road that swings all the way around and back to where I excited the driveway.
Hearing a couple of crows squawking above, my eyes follow them for a while against the crisp blue sky. Magical mist clouds cover the lower slopes of the mountains at the end of my field of view. I wonder what is hidden below.
I cross Barlinka and Tokay. The sound of a plane makes me look up this time. I hear it before I see it. I wonder where it's off to.
At nr 18, construction services are offered, We take care of all your building needs. Two big green gates silently swing open at nr 40; the white reverse lights ignite on a vehicle.
A fellow morning walker approaches from the front, three dogs of varying size on some leashes. I wave good morning, she smiles.
After Alphonse and Isabella, I take a right, not a left, into Sultana, another variety of grape. The smell of freshly cut grass surrounds me. A vehicle with trailer and Garden Services painted on the side is parked at the curb.
A coral tree, covered in bright orange flowers, throws a shadow over the front lawn of nr 24. Two thick-knees (birds) cross the road. Spring is in the air.
Red and white danger tape and a lone orange traffic cone surround a hole in the pavement in front of nr 28. It appears a water pipe burst, maybe over the weekend; the municipality will probably send someone out later today.
The green portable toilet is still in front of nr 8. At least I assume its nr 8, there's no sign, but 6 is the home/house before and 10 the one after. The owners are re-modelling. I wonder when they will be finished. They are moving ahead though, the walls are higher than last time.
I round the corner and take a left, again, back into Hanepoot, cross the road to the other side and back up the driveway.
I open the sliding door (it's squeaking, needs some oil), unlock the security gate and check the time. It's less than half an hour since I left. I thought I was away longer, it certainly felt like that.
I should have kept on walking…

SANTA CLARA, Calif. and McLean, VA - March 28 - McAfee and Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) [NYSE:SAI] today announced findings from a global study on the security of information economies. In the study, "Underground Economies: Intellectual Capital and Sensitive Corporate Data Now the Latest Cybercrime Currency," security experts and senior IT decision makers illustrate how cybercriminals have made the shift from stealing personal information, to targeting the corporate intellectual capital of some of the most well-known global organizations. Cybercriminals understand there is greater value in selling a corporations' proprietary information and trade secrets which have little to no protection making intellectual capital their new currency of choice.
The cyber underground economy is making its money on the theft of corporate intellectual capital which includes trade secrets, marketing plans, research and development findings and even source code. McAfee and SAIC collaborated with Vanson Bourne to survey more than 1,000 senior IT decision makers in the U.S., U.K., Japan, China, India, Brazil and the Middle East. The study is a follow up to a report released in 2008 called "Unsecured Economies." The new study reveals the changes in attitudes and perceptions of intellectual property protection in the last two years. The findings revealed which countries were perceived as the least safe to store corporate data, the rate at which organizations are experiencing breaches and the response rate to prevent or remediate data breaches.
"Cybercriminals have shifted their focus from physical assets to data driven properties, such as trade secrets or product planning documents," said Simon Hunt, vice president and chief technology officer, endpoint security at McAfee. "We've seen significant attacks targeting this type of information. Sophisticated attacks such as s Operation Aurora, and even unsophisticated attacks like Night Dragon, have infiltrated some of the of the largest, and seemingly most protected corporations in the world. Criminals are targeting corporate intellectual capital and they are often succeeding."
"The distinction between insiders and outsiders is blurring," said Scott Aken, vice president for cyber operations at SAIC. "Sophisticated attackers infiltrate a network, steal valid credentials on the network, and operate freely – just as an insider would. Having defensive strategies against these blended insider threats is essential, and organizations need insider threat tools that can predict attacks based on human behavior."

My office at Morgan Stanley was on the 69th floor of the South Tower. I had a great view of the Statue of Liberty and I was staring out at her, talking on the phone, when a swirl of debris — burning debris — suddenly floated by my window.
Our head of security, Rick Rescorla, had always said to us, "No matter how innocent something looks, you get in the stairwell and you start walking down the stairs."
He had constant drills and fire marshals on every floor. Sometimes I'd think, "This is overdone." But when there's chaos everywhere, that training is the only thing on your mind.
There was about 20 of us, and we counted heads and then headed for the stairwell to start our 69 flights down.
At the 44th floor, the Port Authority made an announcement. "Stay where you are," we heard. "Don't exit the building."
Then a tremendous impact tore through everything. Smoke and debris were everywhere.
The second that floor stopped shaking, everyone knew to get back into the stairwell. I could hear Rescorla on his megaphone telling people, "Come this way, let's keep it moving, you're all going to be fine, everything is going to be all right."
His voice echoed up, and it's something I'll always remember. His voice was with us the whole time going down that stairwell. "Just keep going," he said, and he was very calm.
When we got to the mezzanine level the workers kept telling us, "Don't look outside."
I could see the big globe that used to stand out there and the ground littered with jet parts and also people parts. Parts were everywhere.
Rescorla and his security team never got out of the building. They had gotten us all outside but returned to do a final sweep of our offices. They all perished in the collapse.

Shared Solar Project Takes Shape
Madison Gas and Electric's (MGE) Shared Solar program is an innovative model for community solar.
Construction of the 500-kilowatt (kW) solar array began in November. We expect the system to be online by the end of 2016.
This program highlights MGE's approach of partnering with communities and customers.
The solar installation is on the roof of the City of Middleton's new operations center. The collaboration with Middleton resulted in ideal space for MGE's solar array—the roof is larger than a football field. Our collaboration also helps Middleton reach its goal of procuring 25% of its energy needs from renewable sources by 2025.
We also are partnering with our customers who signed up for this program. The array will deliver power to the electric grid, which enables participants to purchase locally generated solar energy without having to install solar panels. Participants paid an up-front fee and pay a kilowatt-hour charge for the solar power that is locked in for 25 years.
Learn more about the project and watch construction-progress videos at mge.com/SharedSolar.

Looking for a gift that keeps on giving?
Why don't you give someone the gift of adventure instead?
Here are a few reasons why you should consider giving an experience gift instead of a physical one.
1. Experience gifts don't add clutter.
Nothing is more frustrating to me, than entering my kid's room and discovering toys and clothing that were former gifts, discarded on the floor and not treated with value.
Living more with less means enjoying life with less physical baggage. The only space that an experience gift takes up is a memory in your mind… unless you bring home a souvenir.
2. Experience gifts give you something to look forward to.
In a culture of instant gratification, there is something about building the anticipation of an upcoming adventure.
3. The memories are priceless.
You can't put a value on an experience. It goes beyond whatever monetary value was spent.
4. The recipient will always remember the gift and the giver.
I can tell you who gave me the adventure gift and the special occasion that it was for with all of my experience gifts that I've received. Adventure is better shared.
You are giving the gift of an experience that will be memorable.
For example, we have chosen to give my kids season passes to a local amusement park for their birthdays for the past few years.
We have shared countless memories together that are way better than a physical gift, that would have lost it's newness over time.
5. It's all about presentation.
You can still give a physical gift if you want to.
For example, if you are planning a surprise trip to Disney, you could wrap up a small toy, themed clothing to be worn on the trip, or maybe something that could be used on the way to the destination, like a special movie, etc.
If you are going on a ski trip, maybe some gear, or a snorkel if you are going somewhere tropical.
If you are giving tickets as a gift, you can still be creative in how you present your gift, whether it's in a large wrapped box, or presented as a scavenger hunt.

I've got LOTS of them.

First – some simple definitions:
SaaS – applications running in the cloud, e.g. SFDC, Office365, Google Apps. Storage resource, such as Box, DropBox, iCloud
PaaS – computing resource where provider manages server hardware & networking. Users can develop & deliver apps on a scalable, virtualized platform
IaaS – self-provisioned deployment of servers, storage & network. Automated full control of dedicated resources via console or API
Now to decide if this is the right time for an IT transformation strategy in your business:
- Reduction in CapEx and OpEx
- Move IT staff from admin to business-facing needs
- Be more flexible & responsive
- Faster to stand up new business tools
- More able to handle activity peaks on critical processes
- Repurpose server/storage/network on demand
- Reduce power consumption
- Decrease need for cooling
Replace your existing diverse server/storage/network solution that is expensive to manage, maintain and upgrade with a fully definable infrastructure on-demand that provides:
- Clearly-defined costs
- Current technology
- Reduced space, power, cooling required
- Reduced need for dedicated IT admin
- Full control over resource – no "noisy neighbours"
- Dedicated hardware
- Availability on-demand to handle peak requirements easily
- Easily definable resource for PaaS, SaaS
- Automated deployment, resilience, scalability & backup
- Close control over capacity planning & operation
- All controlled via dashboard and API, easing automation
The extra issue for your enterprise may relate to personal data privacy and potential veto of 3rd-party cloud storage. If so, make IaaS work for you in your datacenter with solutions from:
Cisco, EMC, Oracle, Nutanix, NetApp, HP, SimpliVity, etc.

Commercial Real Estate News Brief: February 2016
In the latest edition of our monthly news brief, JLL's regional team curates the top industry articles to keep you in-the-know. In this month's edition, JLL spotlights CRE trends to watch in 2016, millennial brain gain in the Great Lakes and Detroit's bright economic future.
Keep up with Spaces' monthly recaps, and subscribe to JLL Spaces today.
CRE Trends to Watch in 2016
According to National Real Estate Investor (NREI), 2016 will be an opportunistic year for investors "who can step out in front of ongoing, and in some cases intensifying, economic demographic and technical trends."
Growth in the U.S. looks stable, while underlying inflation should remain tame. Rates will likely stay consistent, which may apply pressure on other economies. But, according to NREI, this could make U.S. assets more appealing throughout the year.
In a quick wrap-up, here are three of the six key trends ahead projected by NREI:
- Global Urbanization: Both boomers and millennials are looking for better access to jobs and amenities, so they'll continue moving closer to cities this year.
- Changes in Retail: 2016 will see retail continue to embrace the virtual and physical shift, as well as entertainment-themed spaces. Last year's Thanksgiving holiday saw online purchases outpacing in-store shopping for the first time ever. According to NREI, "analysts suspect that the more successful retailers will be those who can optimize a combination of online and in-store shopping experiences."
- Lower Energy Prices: The cost of oil has dramatically decreased and major oil producing countries haven't reduced production. In 2016, this will have a significant economic impact across industries—including commercial real estate. Most notably, the reduction in oil costs will "boost industrial production and reduce distribution costs," according to NREI.
For the full outline of trends to watch this year, check out the latest article by National Real Estate Investor.
Millennials Migrate to the Great Lakes
Cleveland and Pittsburgh remain target cities for millennials.
New research concluded "Cleveland ranks 8th in the U.S. in the growth rate of college-educated millennial residents aged 25 to 34," according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Cities in competition for this spot include Miami and Seattle, according to the report.
Bisnow also suggests Pittsburgh is a city where, "millennials can live on a beer budget with a champagne appetite."
Both regional markets allow this generation of young professionals to enjoy the perks of urban living, like great nightlife, spacious apartments, and fast-paced career opportunities (all without the price tag). Both Cleveland and Pittsburgh have welcomed this influential population for their brain gain and increasing economic power.
Detroit's Renaissance Continues
After years of economic struggle and uncertainty, Detroit's future is looking bright. Most notably, the auto industry and industrial market are making waves.
JLL research suggests Detroit's industrial market is stronger than ever. With skyrocketing demand for industrial space and dwindling supply, developers will likely take on large-scale speculative construction this year.
Furthermore, President Barack Obama's eight-year term, "began with the U.S. bailout of General Motors and Chrysler and will end with what forecasters agree will be a second consecutive record-setting sales year," according to mLive.
With 13% of the nation's auto jobs in Michigan, this is great news for both Detroit and the entire state. While the industry is changing, experts are hopeful that 2016 will be another strong year.
CRE News Wrap-Up in Our Region
- Historical neighborhood Over-the-Rhine has new housing, retail and restaurant spaces. Local real estate developers are now planning to add 200,000 square feet of office space to the area.
- RoundTower Technologies, one of Cincinnati's biggest tech companies, will move its headquarters to the Tower at Kenwood Collection. The consulting company signed a ten-year lease for the third floor and will move in this May.
- CareWorks Family of Companies Central Ohio, one of Dublin's largest employers, is planning to create 250 new jobs in the coming years. This increase will bring the company's total to 1,435 employees.
- A new proposal may add 213 acres of manufacturing and production space near New Albany's Beauty & Personal Care Campus. No users have been announced for the seven-parcel site located at the southeast corner of Jug Street and Harrison Road.
- NYC based private equity fund, Group RMC, acquired seven suburban Akron office buildings from Rubenstein Partners L.P. and Mark Munsell of Beachwood. The $30-million transaction puts the group in the top of Northeast Ohio's strongest suburban office markets.
- Photo renderings of up-and-coming apartments for the Cleveland Skyline were released last month. Each new property is projected for completion or construction by 2020.
- Northville-based subsidiary of ZF Friedrichshafen AG, ZF North America Inc., will move its headquarters to Livonia. This change comes after the auto supplier acquired Livonia-based TRW Automotive for $12.4 billion less than a year ago.
- General Motors invested $500 million in the ride-sharing company Lyft, which will open new opportunities for both companies. Lyft may soon offer on-demand self-driving cars, while GM will have access to the company's future in ride-sharing growth.
- According to the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh agenda, Hitchhiker Brewing Co. plans to establish a 10,000-square-foot production facility. The authority will soon decide whether to grant the South Side Flats venture a loan.

The fall has brought the usual round of pumpkin patch trips and Halloween parties. Alex's class had a day at the Ag Museum to pick out their pumpkins, enjoy a hayride, and walk around the "Old Town."
Sam didn't have any Halloween activities at school, and I wasn't too sad about that. He did have "50s Day" for the 50th day of school. All the kids dressed up in 50s clothing and headed to Brent's for a milkshake. Anthony was a driver for the trip, so he got to see them all in action.
Alex is ALL ABOUT super heroes this year. After much debate, he finally settled on Captain America. We hit his Halloween party at school, and Trick or Treated a night early in our neighborhood. (It rained for literally the first time in 100 days--we desperately needed it.)
Alex's posse. He has quite the crew.
Sam chose to be none other than Dak Prescott. Easiest Halloween costume ever--we already had the jersey, pants, and socks.
As Anthony put it, "One of these is a super hero; the other is Captain America." Too funny.

Uncovering the Peace and Power Within Your Soul Workshop: A day of reconciliation, reconnection and resolution

Spokesman for Colorado gun recall group calls legislators the "c" word and other labels on web page
The spokesman for a group behind the recall efforts of two lawmakers because of their gun votes apologized today for calling certain legislators "c***s" and a "(expletive) retard."
Nick Andrasik said his personal opinions posted on ar15.com, first reported by the Colorado Springs Independent, were made before the Basic Freedom Defense Fund was founded and in "no way" reflect the opinions or positions of the group.
"My postings did indeed contain some words that may be offensive to folks. If I have offended anyone, I apologize," he said, in an e-mail to the Denver Post. "However, those personal opinions came out during a time where passions were running high during the debate on the House floor.
"I as a law-abiding citizen was being called a criminal … when I had committed no crime," he said, in an e-mail. "Politicians with no concept of how the world works or how firearms operate were speaking as if they had authority on a topic which they know nothing about. Would I use those words today? Probably not — the situation is different and the passions changed."
From the Colorado Springs Independent:
During the legislative debates surrounding high-capacity magazines, he had this to say about Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora: "Fields back up, being a vacuous c*** as usual."
On Rep. Brittany Pettersen, D-Lakewood: "Rep Pettersen asking about more limitations – she's a stunning c***."
On Rep. Joe Salazar, D-Thornton: "Salazar is a (expletive) retard."
The Basic Freedom Defense Fund is working on the recall of two Democratic lawmakers, state Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs and Sen. Evie Hudak of Westminster. The Morse petition already has been filed with the secretary of state, and Andrasik expects the Hudak one to be filed soon. Another recall is underway in southwestern Colorado, of Rep. Mike McLachlan of Durango.

The talented musicians at Ballard High have outdone themselves with a two-night extravaganza of winter music on Dec. 9 and 10.
Both nights featured a finale of seven movements of Carmina Burana performed by combined Symphonic Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, Concert Choir, Advanced Women's Chorale, Percussion and Wind Ensemble.
It was truly an epic performance.
Carmina Burana is one of the greatest choral/orchestral works of the 21st century and is quite an undertaking at the high school level.
The enormous opening movement, O Fortuna, mirrors the last movement and is easily the most recognizable. This piece is about excess and the music reflects that in the range of voices, the number of instruments, and a boldness that leaves one with a sense that the composer, Carl Orff, pulled out all his tricks in one piece.
Marin Alsop, music director of the Baltimore Symphony, says, "From a conductor's point of view, Carmina is an absolute blast — so many people, so many textures, so much variety."

My favorite local jewelry artists, m.Bridgette Designs and Camba Jewelry, are at the Edina Art fair this weekend. Not only do I love art, I love jewelry! So off to the art fair I went.
My only mistake was taking my hubby. He's just not a big shopper, or a big walk-around-and-touch-and-see-everything kind of guy. He likes to be IN-and-OUT in a lickety split. So, although I was AT the Edina Art Fair this weekend, I can't really remember it much. We were in and out in under an hour. In fact, while I was browsing one of the booths, he did a quick walk around one of the blocks and proclaimed, "there's nothing you would find interesting down that block, so you don't need to go that way!" HILARIOUS. He did manage to snap 1 picture of me at the Art fair, so I KNOW I was there – I just don't remember seeing too much!
I'm pretty sure it took us longer to get there and park our car than it took for him to run me around the booths. If he weren't so darn handsome, I might have been more upset. When we got home, I had him take a few more pics:
You might have guessed by now, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the 80's. This outfit brings back to 80's fashion statements – neon, high-rise cut-offs and the midriff! The secret to my midriff look is to show just a little midriff – a small slice.
And since he was feeling a little guilty for rushing me, hubby decided we should go out for dinner and take in a show. Theaters are cold, so I quickly changed into a pair of jeans and threw on a warm sweatshirt/blazer.
Made for a PERFECT Sunday, don't you think?
What I'm Wearing:
Mink Pink Slasher Flick cut-off shorts // which I later changed into J Brand 811 Skinny Jeans – in polar which I purchased at Bluebird Boutique but can be seen online here // Free People white eyelet crop cami similar here // vintage Escada white belt // Sam Edelman white "Hamilton" sandals // House of Harlow 1960 14KT Gold Textured Wrap Ring // white & gold earrings by Forever21 // neon wristlet from Target // Michael Kors White Polyurethane and Goldtone Mixed Metal watch // leather & gold studded bracelet similar here // vintage Monet gold 54″ necklace worn as layered bracelet // vintage white beaded bracelet // Off-white aviator sunglasses from Forever21 // vintage white beaded & gold necklace // SUPER COMFY heather gray "T-Shirt" sweatshirt blazer purchased from Hot Mama! //
Celebrate Life! Life's too short to be mad for even a minute at all! Even though I didn't get to see the Edina Art Fair the way I wanted to, I was able to to spend time with my sweetie!!
Daisy Nguyen
PS – I'm TOTALLY bananas over these Mink Pink high-rise Slasher Flick cutoff shorts!!

Fathers can raise school results
Fathers who are closely involved in their children's upbringing have a positive impact on academic achievement, researchers say.
The Department for Education on Thursday began a campaign aimed at encouraging fathers to be more involved in their sons' schooling.
It is using a footballing theme, with the slogan Fathers and Sons - A Winning Team, bolstered by the presence of Manchester United and England stars Gary and Phil Neville and their father, Neville.
Helping with homework
The research from Oxford University, due to be published next month, also says that strong father-child relationships can reduce the incidence of mental health problems in later life.
Criminality and homelessness in adulthood were also less likely when a father had been involved in children's upbringing, reported Ann Buchanan and Eirini Flouri at the university's Centre for Research into Parenting and Children.
And step fathers were also found to provide a boost to children's learning.
Peter Yates regularly helps his 12-year-old son Adam with his homework.
"He needs that motivation that a father can bring.
"His mum obviously gets involved as well but lads basically need a bit more of a kick to get them going," Mr Yates said.
Work-life issue
The research findings were based on a study of 17,000 children born in 1958, who were tracked through stages of their lives.
Involvement was identified by factors such as sharing an equal role to mothers in managing children, taking an interest in their children's education and going on outings with them.
The researchers say the findings have "important implications for work-life balance" and that workplaces should be more "father friendly" in allowing parents to have time with their children.
A survey commissioned by the Department for Education - also due out in March - suggests that only 12% of men claimed to be more involved than their partner in their children's education, compared with 72% of women.
But three quarters of the men with school-aged children said they would like to be more involved.
The Minister for Young People and Learning, Ivan Lewis, launched the football-branded campaign encouraging fathers in England to be involved in their sons' education at Trafford Park in Manchester.
"We hear a lot about boys underachieving at school, so it is vital that we help to redress the balance and re-engage boys at an early stage."
Footballer Gary Neville, said: "Sport has always played a huge role in our family, and right from day one Dad got us involved.
"Dads can really influence their sons by taking an interest in their education and hobbies - this not only improves their performance at school, but creates a healthy atmosphere at home."
Its chairman, Nottingham University professor Sir Robert Salisbury, said: "Dads want all their children - sons and daughters - to develop to their full potential.
"We have seen the magnificent strides that girls have made recently, showing what can be achieved when they are properly supported.
"This initiative's particular focus on sons and the help dads can give them should help boys to make similar progress in their education."
Wider issues
But others have questioned the focus on boys.
"It shouldn't be genderised. For example I'm a father, I have a daughter, and I'm actively involved in helping her with her educational development."
The scheme had to be seen as part of a bigger whole.
"Dads have to learn to be more emotionally available for their children," he said.
Telling them to sit down and read with their children was not enough.
"It entails dads re-examining how they were parented and how that impacts on their ability to parent their children."

Recently, I've been examining the evidence for the authenticity of 19th century vampire killing kits. These were apparently manufactured for and sold to Western travellers to Eastern Europe. One of the prominent names attached to these kits, is Professor Ernst Blomberg. Spooky land's excellent article, 'Regarding Ernst Blomberg', attempted to unearth proof for the man's existence.
One of the article's attempts to validate the claims made about the kits is their presence in certain museums: 'Certainly, old vampire killing kits were reportedly produced in the 19th century - examples exist at numerous Ripley museums (Wisconsin Dells, etc.) and other public collections of oddities.' It says. 'Institutions like these have either held these kits for some time, or are willing to attest to their rough age through their documented provenance (although the Mercer Museum has recently declared their kit to be a modern assembly of mostly vintage parts).' The latter claim is something I personally verified.
But, as we've seen, their presence in such museums isn't—bizarre as it might sound—proof of antiquity. The Mercer Museum, Doylsetown, Pa., informed me that their kit 'is believed to be one of the compilations of both historical items and "made up" artifacts that found its way into the antiques market sometime in the 1970s or 1980s.' They also 'had some portions of it analyzed in the labs of the Winterthur Museum and learned that the "silver" bullets are actually pewter (not a surprise given their lack of tarnish) and that the paper is of 20th century vintage that has been artificially "aged."'
If that's the case, why display the kit at all? The Museum told me they 'use it currently to contrast traditional and contemporary vampire "lore," help interpret the origins of some vampire beliefs, and to demonstrate the use of scientific methodologies in authenticating artifacts.' To that extent, the kit is also accompanied by the following placard:
|Diggers realm
So what are we to make of the kits' appearance in Ripley's museums? The Spooky land article notes, 'In a press release dated December 4, 2008 [2009], Ripleys maintains that their collection of kits now numbers 30 (26 on display). Most of the kits were acquired by Edward Meyer, their Vice President of Exhibits and Archives.' I contacted Edward Meyer, who agreed to an interview.
In light of the Mercer Museum's revelations, I asked him whether it was possible the kits he'd collected were hoaxes, too. He said: 'Anything is possible. I know of no hard evidence to confirm where or when any of these items were made. As I stated before the date of the guns is the only thing you can confirm with confidence…..'
In light of the Mercer Museum's revelations, I asked him whether it was possible the kits he'd collected were hoaxes, too. He said: 'Anything is possible. I know of no hard evidence to confirm where or when any of these items were made. As I stated before the date of the guns is the only thing you can confirm with confidence…..'
The press release said 'Most were created in the Boston area and were available by mail order.The kits were acquired by people in preparation of possibly meeting a vampire during their international travels to Eastern Europe and their usage dates back to the mid-1800s. Most were created in the Boston area and were available by mail order.'
I asked Meyer whether he'd seen any of these mail orders. 'No,' he said. Had he verified their connection to Blomberg? 'Personally? I haven't.' Then how did authenticate the kits? 'One of the key elements in a vampire killing kit is a pistol. Pistols can easily be dated by style, and maker. Some of the guns actually have dates an initials on them..From a study of several kits it is obvious some are older than others, but the guns typically come from the 1840s-50s'. In other words, the best evidence that the kits were produced in the 19th century for travellers to Eastern Europe? They come with old guns and unverified back-stories.
No museum—or—sellers have examined or provided contemporary 19th century references to their manufacture and sale. If they were, indeed, being made during the 19th century, then a record would've turned up. Somewhere. Something to link the kits with their alleged manufacturing date. Even the 'mail orders' cited in Ripley's press release. Regarding the kits Meyer's collected, he said 'we have nothing any earlier than 1990 mentioning their existence.'
However, the Spooky land article pushed the Ripley's link back further than Meyer's role in their collection: 'The Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum chain claims to have the world's largest collection of vintage vampire hunting kits, some reportedly collected by Robert Ripley prior to World War II.' Robert Ripley (1890–1949) originated the Ripley's franchise, which spun off from his Ripley's believe it or not! newspaper panel. If he did collect such kits, we'd have a pre-'1970s or 1980s' source. That would push the existence of 19th century vampire killing kits into the realm of plausibility, given the timeframe.
Unfortunately, the article doesn't provide a source for the claim. So, I asked Meyer, 'did Ripley's have any vampire killing kits before you started collecting them for the company? For instance, did Robert Ripley collect any?'1 He wrote back, 'No pre-edward vampire kits—I have been involved in the purchase of everyone we have…'2 The press release confirms 'Each kit in the Ripley's collection was acquired by Edward Meyer, VP of Exhibits and Archives for the company.'

These are going to get shorter, I promise.
Mostly, that's because I spent Day 3 almost entirely in Pripyat, and there's not much I can do to convey Pripyat other than bombard you with a ton of pictures, or try - and fail - to explain it with words. Eventually I suppose I'll just upload the 8 or so gigs of JPEGs I've shot to someplace and be done with it. The other "serious photographer" in the group is shooting for HDR, and RAW, so he's going through 16 gig CF cards at a rate of 1 an hour. While I'm sleeping he's cursing and shuffling cards and making backups on a jump drive and waiting while lightroom tediously loads them so he can examine them. Somewhere in all of this I decided that I don't want to try to make an artistic statement about this experience; my pictures are just going to be tourists' "gee, wow!" pictures. I felt the same way when I was in New Orleans 6 months after Hurricane Katrina hit - I just don't feel profound enough to try to say something meaningful about something so big.
Breakfast at the canteen (mm! boiled eggs!) is good. None of the other guys want the boiled eggs so I take on a huge load of cholesterol in the form of eggs. There's also raw bacon (!) and a deep-fried thing of fish on a bed of sauerkraut. Eggs, Red Bull, peanut M&Ms and pistachos sounds like a good food-plan for the day. We load into the van and head off to the administrative building at the reactors. Arekadiusz has a possible scheme that will get him and one of the other trip-members in to tour Reactor #4's control room. The bribe for this is about $800. I decide I'm just not that interested. One of the operating nuclear reactors might be interesting but Reactor #4 is pretty screwed up and I'm assuming that there will be concrete walls all over the place forming the coffin around the core; the control room will (I predict) look like
a) a mess
b) mostly cannibalized
c) a bunch of junk
("No shit, there I was") (Google map)
Meanwhile, we park the van right outside of Reactor #4 on the other side of the wire, and gawk at the beast from about 300 yards away. When you read about the current state of Reactor #4 it's usually described as being in a "concrete coffin" but really it's more like "it's buried under a mound of metal an' stuff" It looks like it was thrown together in a hurry. Apparently the ventilator stack somehow helps keep the mass underneath from getting too hot and re-igniting or cracking open and re-igniting.
(The rad meter makes little unhappy fleeping noises when you point it at Reactor #4.
I entered those GPS coordinates in google maps and it didn't seem to take me there. I don't know what's wrong but that's where I was standing)
We pile back into the van and head to Pripyat.
(Marcel Duchamp, this!)
The plan for the day is to explore Pripyat on our own. We're going to drop off in various interesting areas for an hour here, or a half-hour there, but otherwise we can go wherever we want and see whatever we see.
(Stairs in a high rise)
Pripyat has everything you'd expect in a good-sized town: shopping center, hotel, cultural center, theaters, cafes, hospital, schools, police headquarters, fire-fighter's headquarters, etc. Basically, we visit each of those locations. I want to see if I'm going to feel creeped out by being on my own in this crowded emptiness or not, so I grab my camera and start a slow jog straight north for a large tower in the distance. As I get closer, about 1/2 mile from the van, it turns out to be a light-tower. And there's a bunch of bleachers looking out over a forest. The forest was a soccer field 30 years ago.
(The bleachers overlook nothing) (Google Map)
That sort of brain-wenching "oh! that's what that is!" happens constantly as I
recognize things that have been overgrown, fallen over, and then overgrown.
(I guess that climbing the remaining light-tower -- there were 4 -- isn't a good idea)
(Amusement park near the center of the town) (Google Map)
Now, next time you're out and about in your town, you can imagine what
it might look like 30 years after being abandoned. Imagine all the cars are
gone, everything of value is gone, and what's left has fallen over, gotten
wet, grown mold, and rusted. That's what Pripyat looks like.
(Bumper cars)
(Film, in the cultural centre)
(The parquet floor from the hotel's lobby.)
(Grand Staircase, the department store) (Google map)
(Concert Hall)
The wreckage just goes on and on and on.

Bowman Draft Picks Football debuts with an affordable way to amass a collection of rookies from this year's draft. In year's past this product was simply called Bowman but with the growing hype of the NFL Draft and their competitors using it in their early release product titles, Topps apparently decided to add the "Draft Picks" moniker, and deciding to drop Topps Draft Picks & Prospects. Typically speaking, BDP type products from other sports have come with 1 autographed rookie or prospect card per box. Topps added a little something extra for collectors this year and aficionados of manufactured letter patches will be happy to know that in addition to a hard signed Autographed Rookie Card, each box of Bowman Draft Picks will deliver one hard signed RC Letter Patch.

Can we retire this?
Kevin Drum makes an oft-employed sorta-joke:
For years, Ralph Reed has claimed that he was shocked — shocked! — to learn that when his friend Jack Abramoff hired him ...I'm talking about the, "I am shocked - shocked! - that blah blah blah" thing. I'm not trying to rag on Kevin, because everybody uses this, and maybe it was funny once or twice, but now it just about drives me insane every time I see somebody do it.

Albert Greene (born April 13, 1946),[1] better known as Al Green, is an American gospel and soul music singer. He reached the peak of his popularity in the 1970s, with hit singles such as "You Oughta Be With Me," "Spending My Time," "Love and Happiness", and "Let's Stay Together".[2] In 2005, Rolling Stone named him #65 in their list of the '100 Greatest Artists of All Time'. The nomination, written by Justin Timberlake, stated that "people are born to do certain things, and Al was born to make us smile."[3] The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted Green in 1995, referring to him as "one of the most gifted purveyors of soul music." Green has sold more than 20 million records.[2]
Green was born in Forrest City, Arkansas.[1] He was the sixth of ten children born to Robert and Cora Greene.[4] The son of a sharecropper, he started performing at age ten in a Forrest City quartet called the Greene Brothers; he dropped the final "e" from his last name years later as a solo artist. They toured extensively in the mid-1950s in the South until the Greenes moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan, when they began to tour around Michigan.[5] His father kicked him out of the group because he caught Green listening to Jackie Wilson.[6]
Green formed a group called Al Greene & the Creations in high school. Curtis Rogers and Palmer James, two members of the Creations, formed an independent label called Hot Line Music Journal. In 1967, under the new name Al Greene & the Soul Mates, the band recorded "Back Up Train" and released it on Hot Line Music; the song was an R&B chart hit. The Soul Mates' subsequent singles did not sell as well. Al Green's debut LP was released on Hot Line in 1967 called "Back Up Train". The album was upbeat and soulful but didn't do well in sales. This was the only album on the Hot Line label. Green came into contact with band leader Willie Mitchell of Memphis' Hi Records in 1969, when Mitchell hired him as a vocalist for a Texas show with Mitchell's band and then asked him to sign with the label.
Mitchell predicted stardom for Green, coaching him to find his own, unique voice at a time when Green had previously been trying to sing like his heroes Jackie Wilson, Wilson Pickett, James Brown, and Sam Cooke. Green's debut album with Hi Records was Green Is Blues, a slow, horn-driven album that allowed Green to show off his powerful and expressive voice, with Mitchell arranging, engineering and producing. The album was a moderate success. The next LP, Al Green Gets Next to You (1970), was a massive success that included four gold singles as Green developed his vocal and songwriting talents. Let's Stay Together (1972) was an even bigger success, as was I'm Still In Love With You (1972). Call Me was a critical sensation and just as popular at the time; it is one of his most fondly remembered albums today. Al Green Explores Your Mind (1974) contained his own song "Take Me to the River", which was later turned into an R&B hit (#7) by label-mate Syl Johnson and also covered by Talking Heads (#26 Pop) on their second album.
On October 18, 1974, Mary Woodson White, a girlfriend of Mr. Green's, assaulted him before committing suicide at his Memphis home.[7] Although she was already married, Mrs. White reportedly became upset when Mr. Green refused to marry her.[8] Ironically, Green had peaked at #32 on the Hot 100 with "Let's Get Married" earlier in 1974. At some point during the evening, Mrs. White doused Mr. Green with a pan of boiling grits while he was showering causing third-degree burns on Mr. Green's back, stomach and arms.[9]
Green cited the incident as a wake-up call to change his life.[7] He became an ordained pastor of the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Memphis in 1976.[10] Continuing to record R&B, Green saw his sales start to slip and drew mixed reviews from critics.[11] 1977's The Belle Album was critically acclaimed but did not regain his former mass audience.[12] In 1979, Green was injured while performing, and interpreted this accident as a message from God. He then concentrated his energies towards pastoring his church and gospel singing[10], also appearing in 1982 with Patti Labelle in the Broadway musical Your Arms Too Short to Box with God.[13] According to Glide Magazine, "by the late 70s, he had begun concentrating almost exclusively on gospel music." [14] His first gospel album was The Lord Will Make a Way. From 1981 to 1989 Green recorded a series of gospel recordings, garnering eight "soul gospel performance" Grammys in that period. In 1985, he reunited with Willie Mitchell for He Is the Light, his first album for A&M Records. In 1984, director Robert Mugge released a documentary film, Gospel According to Al Green, including interviews about his life and footage from his church.[15]
After spending several years exclusively performing gospel, Green began to return to R&B. First, he released a duet with Annie Lennox, "Put A Little Love In Your Heart" for Scrooged, a 1988 Bill Murray film. In 1989 Green worked with producer Arthur Baker writing and producing the international hit "The Message Is Love". In 1991 he created the introductory theme song for the short-lived television series Good Sports featuring Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett.[7] In 1992, Green recorded again with Baker, the Fine Young Cannibals, and reunited with his former Memphis mix engineer (this time functioning as producer) Terry Manning, to release the album "Don't Look Back". His 1994 duet with country music singer Lyle Lovett blended country with R&B, garnering him his ninth Grammy, this time in a pop music category. Green's first secular album in some time was Your Heart's In Good Hands (1995), released to positive reviews but disappointing sales, the same year Green was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[16]
In 2000, Green published Take Me to the River, a book discussing his career. Green received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002.[16]
By 2003 Green released a non-religious (secular) album entitled I Can't Stop, his first collaboration with Willie Mitchell since 1985's He is the Light. In March 2005 he issued Everything's OK as the follow up to I Can't Stop. Green also collaborated with Mitchell on this secular CD.
In 2004, Green sang a duet, Simply Beautiful, with Queen Latifah on her The Dana Owens Album. In 2006, Green worked on his latest studio album for Blue Note Records with The Roots' Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson.[17] The album, Lay It Down, was released May 27, 2008 and includes tracks featuring John Legend, Corinne Bailey Rae and Anthony Hamilton.[18] Green said in an interview that he would have liked to duet with Marvin Gaye: "In those days, people didn't sing together like they do now," he said.[19]
In 2008, Green's album Lay It Down marked his full return to chart success, reaching #9 on the Billboard hit album chart. It was his most successful album release in 35 years.
In 2009, Al Green, along with Heather Headley, released a version of the song People Get Ready on the compilation album Oh Happy Day: An All-Star Music Celebration.[20]
In 2004, Green was inducted into the Gospel Music Association's Gospel Music Hall of Fame. Also in 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked him #65 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[3] He was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2008 BET Awards on June 24, 2008.[21] In 2009, Al Green was inducted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends Hall of Fame. Green's biggest hit, "Let's Stay Together", was voted a Legendary Michigan Song that same year.

That's because on Windows, there's _only_ the clipboard. On other systems, you need to use the interprogram-* vars. So Stuart is correct, I think: one needs to use the interprogram-* vars so that this works on all supported systems.

Erne, Palat lead Lightning past Stars 6-3
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — If the Tampa Bay Lightning are tenacious enough to sneak into the playoffs, it'll be because of their youngsters.
Rookie Adam Erne scored twice and veteran Ondrej Palat added a power-play goal and two assists as the Lightning defeated the Dallas Stars 6-3 on Sunday night.
Rookie Brayden Point scored the go-ahead goal in the third period to break a 2-2 tie.
"We have to do everything to stay (in the playoff hunt)," Erne said. "We want to contribute. We don't just want to be passengers on our run here. We consider ourselves a part of this team now, and we're desperate to win these games because we know each of these last games are must wins."
Braydon Coburn and Anton Stralman also had goals for Tampa Bay. Backup Peter Budaj made 23 saves to help the Lightning move within three points of the idle Ottawa Senators, who hold the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Lightning have a key road game Tuesday, traveling to Boston, which is four points ahead of Tampa Bay.
"All I know is we need to be 1-0 on Tuesday," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said, addressing his team's upcoming three road games in four days.
Cooper, however, realizes just how crucial his rookies' play has been for the Lightning down the stretch, as well as filling in for injured veterans all season. Four rookies — Erne, Point, Yanni Gourde and Jake Dotchin — contributed to the scoring Sunday night, and those four have combined for 21 goals and 30 assists, all as in-season call-ups.
"We've needed them, just in different ways," Cooper said of the rookies. "We're happy for Adam Erne, who has been chipping away, chipping away, chipping away and doesn't have any points to show for it. He deserved his breaks tonight."
Gemel Smith, Jason Spezza and Brett Ritchie scored for Dallas, and Esa Lindell assisted on all three goals.
Erne opened up the scoring at 11:47 in the first. Erne, who had just one goal entering the game and hadn't scored since March 3, added a power-play goal in the third.
Dallas answered quickly in the second with Smith's goal less than two minutes into the period.
Smith nearly had a short-handed goal after that, but it was overturned on an offsides call after a Lightning challenge and official review. Dallas did take the lead at 10:57 in the second when Spezza scored his 14th of the season. Spezza also assisted on Smith's goal.
With just 18 seconds left in the second, Tampa Bay tied it on Coburn's goal with assists from Stralman and Palat, who has 32 assists this season.
Point's tiebreaking goal was his 14th of the season, while Palat's power-play goal was his 17th.
"They're really coming in and contributing all over the ice," Stralman said, "and they get rewarded for it. It shows the depth of our organization."
Ritchie scored Dallas' third goal late in the third. Stralman had an empty-netter with 2 seconds remaining.
In the end, all Cooper had to do was relay the obvious to his young team.
″(The poorly played second half) comes down to our season," Cooper said, "and that was the discussion in the (locker) room: Do you want to give yourself a chance to play past next Sunday? And, it was, if you don't want to, play the way you did in the second — if you do, play the way we did in the third."
NOTES: Tampa Bay C Steven Stamkos, out since right knee surgery in November, did not play Sunday and remains day to day. ... Lightning C Tyler Johnson returned Sunday after sitting out 11 games with a lower-body injury. ... Lightning D Jason Garrison returned after missing four games due to a lower-body injury. Garrison would later leave during the second intermission with another lower-body injury. ... Stars LW Patrick Sharp missed his fifth game with a hip injury. ... Stars LW Antoine Roussel missed his 15th game with an upper-body injury.
Stars: Wrap up the season with a three-game homestand, beginning with Arizona on Tuesday.
Lightning: Begin a three-game road trip, starting with a key game at Boston on Tuesday.

Congress Takes on GMO Debate
A House committee is hearing legislation that would stop states from issuing their own laws requiring the labeling of genetically modified food and instead leave labeling up to the federal government. Since food sold in one state is almost always sold in other states, complying with a patchwork of different state laws doesn't make much sense for businesses.
Of course, taking this power away from states has drawn a lot of opposition. Campaigns led by the Center for Food Safety and Environmental Working Group continue to misstate the facts about genetically modified foods and mischaracterize this legislation as preventing consumers from knowing important information for their health. You can check out our primer, "5 Things to Know About GMOs," for our response to activists' anti-science claims.
Labeling GMOs implies that these foods are somehow nutritionally different than conventional foods or pose a health risk. That's simply not the case. There's no credible research showing GMOs threaten human health and before any new GMO crop is approved, it's reviewed extensively by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for safety.
Genetic modification has allowed farmers to use fewer chemicals on their crops while increasing yields—we can feed more people by using less land. Recent work has created a potato that can resist bruising (cutting down on food waste) and produce less acrylamide (a chemical created when potatoes are cooked at high heat); rice fortified with vitamin A (helping to reduce blindness and death from vitamin A deficiency); an apple that can resist browning when cut (cutting down on food waste).
GMOs have the potential to dramatically improve the way we farm and eat food. But activists don't want to give scientists the freedom to improve crops even further. Instead, they're scaring the American public about a threat to their health and environment that just doesn't exist.
