The second season shifts the focus to the loading docks of Baltimore, where the local union leader, Frank Sabotka, is involved with a criminal organization and showing a lot more money than would be expected of a dock worker, thus sparking the interest of a district commander(one Sabotka managed to anger), who gets the familiar faces of season 1 on a detail to catch Sabotka. Mixed into the whole mess are 13 women who die of suffocation in a loading container. The story focuses on the dockworkers and the criminal organization some of them are involved with. The Barksdales aren't entirely forgotten but aren't the focus here.
The policework stays much the same, involving wiretaps, cameras and waiting, as things happen in reality I quess. McNulty is once again the police the series follows the most. On the criminal side the Sabotka family gets the most screentime, with the most interesting one being Sabotka's son, Ziggy, who mostly clowns around, and as he describes himself, is "the punchline of every joke". He is drawn towards criminal activity due to easy money involved therein, but doesn't succeed at that very well because no one takes him seriously. To sum it up he is the archetype of a failure and in a way embodies the message of the second season, which to me was living in poor conditions with little money easily leads people to crime. The loading docks are getting less and less traffic and the dock workers less and less work, which means less money of course. Set against this you understand why some of the dockworkers are lured to the money in crime, which in this case involves helping with smuggling and stealing loading crates that arrive at the docks.
Season 2 takes a few episodes to get its pace together, but soon enough the series has you in again. I like the new characters a lot and the shift from the city to the dock area is welcome change in scenery and blows a lot of fresh air into the series. Its not too big a jump since the characters on the police side stay the same, more giving the season a tone of its own and still carrying the characters from the first season with it.
I have just have to mention the intro song again. This time its Tom Waits himself performing Way Down In The Hole with film material from the docks: Boats and loading crates being loaded and unloaded. HBO does intro's extremely well, managing to sum each of their series in a minute and a half. The Wire perhaps even more so with a stroke of genius: Having the same song with five different versions serve as the intro to each of the seasons. If I ever hear Way Down in the Hole somewhere else it will bring this series to mind instantly. Otherwise there is very little music in the series. Although there was a brilliant episode with Johnny Cash's Walk the Line playing, while each of the characters did their morning routines. Not including that, music is used very sparingly, not that I put all that much attention into things.
The Wire season 2 is extremely good. All the favorite characters from the first are present and the level quality doesn't see any drops compared to the first, which sadly happens all too often with series. Six Feet Under changed into a direction I didn't like as well as Rome. With the Wire season 2 is what you liked from the first one with a new set of criminals. Just bear with it for the first few episodes and you'll enjoy the hell out of it.

It would be fun to create and co-teach our own Music Improvisation class, P, for World University and School for credit, in autumn 2016 even ... with a Dead and Blues' and bagpiping emphasis in part :) ...
and coming into conversation with this course at MIT OCW ...
I'm enjoying instructor Tom Hall here ...
... which I just added to http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Improvisation.
Invite "Wake the Dead" and Alasdair Fraser et al to make appearances?
St. Clement's Hall in south Berkeley as a sometimes physical space for filming this online course in Google + Hangouts plus with 18-22 year olds? :)
Could we even build on playing in the Open Band for Scottish Country Dancing to create online opportunities for people to improvise with us from afar, and pick SCD sheet music for this, and write out aspects of improvisation for people who are remote? :)
Piping solo by Kevin Carr with Wake the Dead for Bird Song/Bluebird ...

Hi all,
I think everyone knows by now about the benefit concert on March 2, but Charlie's email below has details about various ways to donate to their family, and how to watch the concert if you can't attend in person.
Don't forget the upcoming benefit for David and Andrea Thompson this coming Monday, March 2 at the Freight and Salvage in Berkeley. This will be a once in a lifetime double bill. Whether or not you attend the concert, you can also donate through a special web page; details are below.
Barbara MacDonald Magone and Laura Risk will Alasdair Fraser on the stage. The evening will also feature Wake the Dead, the world's first Celtic all-star Grateful Dead jam band, combining Celtic tunes with classics from the Grateful Dead. And there are rumors that Alasdair may sit in with Wake the Dead for a few tunes!
Alasdair has also invited members of SFSF to join him from the audience on a few tunes.
As you know, David has very aggressive small-cell prostate cancer and it has spread to his pelvic bone. At the same time, Andrea has been diagnosed with MS. Needless to say, they can use our financial help.
There is also a web page where you can donate to David and Andrea Thompson, especially if you can't attend the benefit concert. You can visit the donation web page at either <http://goo.gl/thsxLX> or <http://www.youcaring.com/
medical-fundraiser/the- thompson-family-needs-our- help/296398> You can donate directly through the web site, or to save credit card processing fees send a check payable to Andrea Brewer Thompson to:
Andrea Thompson c/o Riemer
1602 Addison St.
Berkeley CA 94703
If you can't attend the concert in person, you can watch it streamed live on the Internet via Concert Window. Details and a link to Concert Window can be found on the Freight's web site <http://www.thefreight.org>.
Thanks, --Charlie Fenton
Thanks, P,
May attend this after all for the benefit ... would like too to hear Alasdair and Wake the Dead and SF SF et al all together ... and to think through further and explicitly bliss generation possibilities vis-a-vis these Berkeley musicians ... and WUaS even ... http://worlduniversity.

Nicola, Spotlight Volunteer
Meet Nicola Chang, the all things music volunteer at Spotlight. From Hong Kong originally with a stint in Boston USA for university and now volunteering with Poplar young people. Read the full interview here and see what is happening at Spotlight this summer for young people aged 11 -19 years.
Nicola Chang has been in London since September last year. She enjoys volunteering and giving back to the community and has always sought youth related opportunities with a link to music. Music is her passion and a big part of her life. She tells me it is a way for people to express themselves organically and is truly a universal language.
Nicola's day job is as a curator for a music technology company. She creates playlists for different spaces and brands abroad. She now volunteers for Spotlight, East London's creative youth space designed to inspire. She recently ran her own programme called Rhythm Squad, a STOMP related group that come together to make music with whatever they can find. Participants were encouraged to BYOI – bring your own instrument. Nicola is really impressed with the resources at Spotlight and thinks it is great that so many young people have access to professional level recording studios with the latest music software.

In addition to multiplayer, Share the Pain load times have been squeezed down to about 15-20 seconds per level on a mid-range system. If you like to wander around and take your time doing all kinds of horrible things to people, then it's not much of an issue. But if you're objective-oriented and want to get directly to your next task, it is a bit less painful this time around. STP also added a couple extra areas and a new missile launcher, and a couple extra difficulty levels, but it's still Postal 2 at its core. If you liked the first one, you'll like these new additions, as the Tora Bora area is quite large and fairly well-designed, although when you're done you have to go all the way back through it to get to town. The new weapon, "Weapon of Mass Destruction," is a missile launcher that creates an explosion of toxic gas, spreading in the same manner as fire, and it seems to smolder on a corpse indefinitely. This combination quickly creates a field of dead bodies, which you may find cool or unsettling, depending on your tastes.
Performance still lags sometimes, though, even on a high-end system with a P4 3.0GHz, 1GB of RAM and a Radeon 9800 XT. You can scale down the view distance, the number of people and corpses, and decals (bullet holes and other damage), but when you really wreak some havoc, things will start to chug to the point of unusability. You can use the Performance Wizard to optimize your settings, but it's not a complete solution. Besides, who wants to turn off something as important-sounding as "World Detail"? Plus, it was impossible to successfully set hardware accelerated audio. One on machine, changing the setting killed all audio, and on another rig, changing this setting caused my computer to spontaneously reboot.
But let's talk about the core of the new experience here, the multiplayer. It's provided in-game through GameSpy Arcade, and the server listing is fairly fast, but the first thing you'll notice is that hardly anyone is playing the game. What you'll notice next is that you can't organize servers by population. After that, you'll notice that the game type isn't listed. It's like going back in time to the dawn of online gaming. You'd think they'd be able to whip up something more robust in the 9 months or so since the release of Postal 2. (The level of server information has been addressed in a patch, in addition to a few miscellaneous glitches, but our policy is to review the out-of-the-box version of the game.)
Issues like this can be overlooked if the actual gameplay is engrossing and fun. Yet the style-over-substance theme that pervaded in Postal 2 carries over at full strength. You can choose some varied skins including a priest, fundamentalist Muslim, ATF officer, leather fetishist like the Gimp in Pulp Fiction, and Gary Coleman. There aren't any female skins, but I can't see this game appealing to the girl gamer segment anyway. Maybe it's just me. But a big problem here is that the Gary Coleman model is about half the size of the others, so almost everyone uses it in deathmatch and team deathmatch since he's a much smaller target. Again, I find myself wondering if Running With Scissors was paying much attention to such details in other multiplayer games. You just don't put in models that are significantly smaller or harder to see, or else that success depends more on appearance than skill. No fun for the skilled player when he's surrounded by darting children-sized people.

With the fourth round underway, it seems like there is enough separation to have a little fun with the CLS League Re-Draft.
To revive your memories of the first round, there were some big surprises amid the expected decisions.
Obviously, the biggest surprise was most likely Cassie's pick of Henrik Lundqvist at #3. It wasn't the only pick that defied expectations, however, so there were some top-end players going toward the end of the first round.
Calling Evgeni Malkin (#4), Nicklas Lidstrom (#6) or Pavel Datsyuk (#7) steals might be a bit much, even if they were great picks. So for the sake of argument, we'll go into the teens before we consider anyone a true "steal." Feel free to vote and comment on whom you think ended up being the Hamburglar of the first round.
It's not crazy to call Geno a steal at #4
11. Roberto Luongo
Perhaps it wasn't a banner season for Bobby Lou after he faced a tough mid-season injury and fell victim to a Patrick Kane hat trick in the playoffs, but it's still surprising that he was not the first goaltender taken.
16. Jarome Iginla
It's been a while since Iginla powered the Calgary Flames to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, but he hasn't shown many signs of slowing down as one of the premier power forwards in the game. He does everything you'd want, from scoring to fighting to being a charismatic leader.
19. Martin Brodeur
His stock is sliding a bit, but Brodeur is still one of the biggest names in the NHL. He's won Stanley Cups, Vezina trophies, gold medals and oh yeah, the most games of any netminder ever. Couple that with a reasonable cap hit ($5.2 million) and what was a staggering workhorse streak before the 2008-9 season and he has to at least be considered a steal.
23. Chris Pronger
Pronger might be the most hated player in the NHL, considering that he poses a far more legitimate threat than Sean Avery's mouth. But for my money, if I want to win a Cup next year I'd either go with Pronger. He might not be as cerebral as Lidstrom, but that doesn't mean he cannot think the game. He might not be as large as Zdeno Chara, but he makes up for their small size difference with an indifference for human life. Oh, and he's also a helluva powerplay quarterback to boot.
25. Joe Thornton
Yes, he gets a lot of crap for his playoff chokings (whether that perception is fair or not) but Jumbo Joe is a guy who's made millionaires out of solid forwards ever since he got comfortable in the league. He's huge, awesome in video games and puts up huge numbers every year. In my book, he's easily a top-15 player.
26. Henrik Zetterberg
Zetterberg can do it all. He's one of the league's best two-way players, can shift between center and LW with ease and score tons of points. His durability can be a bit of a concern, but other than that he's a guy who has no business dropping to the later part of the first round.

Turkey cutlets
And here is my recipe for Turkey cutlets (actually it's my Mum's recipe, and is our family favourite).
Turkey cutlets
500g minced turkey (breast)
200g cooked rice
1 egg
1 small onion, finely chopped
salt, pepper
a generous handful of herbs: mint, basil, parsley
a few spring onions
pinch of paprika
2 carrots
a handful of green grapes
3-4 tbsp rapeseed oil
First cook the rice (you will need about 200g of cooked rice) and let it cool.
In a deep bowl mix the minced turkey with the finely chopped onion, egg, ice and herbs, season well, and using your hands, shape the cutlets (they should be bigger than the meatballs and oval-shaped rather than round).
Fry in a deep frying pan until golden on both sides (about 10 minutes) with the rapeseed oil, add the sliced carrots, spring onions and grapes, lower the heat and cook for another 15 minutes.
Serve with the roast baby potatoes.
The cutlets would keep in the fridge for a couple of days.
If you love cooking with British turkey, do you fancy being crowned British Turkey Blogger of the Year 2013 and receive £200 of vouchers to spend at your chosen supermarket? If the answer is yes, hurry to enter the British Turkey Blogger Recipe competition (link removed as expired).
Two non-meat Red Tractor approved ingredients in my dish are carrots and onion (+ rapeseed oil).

They look yummy! We use turkey a lot, the kids prefer the flavour to other meats and it's healthy.ReplyDeleteReplies
My little man likes the turkey/rice meatballs the best, and is not keen on any red meat.Delete
This is a fantastic recipe, very easy to follow too, by the looks of it. My husband would love these.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Jane! Yes, they are pretty easy to make, a bit messy but easy. :)Delete
Looks very nice!ReplyDelete
This sounds like a great mid week meal.ReplyDelete
It annoys me that supermarkets only tend to sell turkey mince at Christmas time, as it's a great favourite in this house and is a very tasty and healthy alternative to red meat. This recipe sounds lovely and I'll be giving it a try - when I can find some mince later in the year!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Mimi! You can find the turkey mince in Waitrose, is there a Waitrose nearby where you live? And thank you for your comment!Delete

I frequently hit the wall of needing to work asynchronously with Solr requests in Python. Ill have some code that blocks on a Solr HTTP request, waits for it to complete, then execute a second request. Something like this code
import requests
#Search 1
solrResp = requests.get('http://mysolr.com/solr/statedecoded/search?q=law')
for doc in solrResp.json()['response']['docs']:
print doc['catch_line']
#Search 2
solrResp = requests.get('http://mysolr.com/solr/statedecoded/search?q=shoplifting')
for doc in solrResp.json()['response']['docs']:
print doc['catch_line']
(were using the Requests library to do HTTP):
Being able to parallelize work is especially helpful with scripts that index documents into Solr. I need to scale my work up so that Solr, not network access, is the indexing bottleneck.
Unfortunately, Python isnt exactly Javascript or Go when it comes to doing asynchronous programming. But the gevent coroutine library can help us a bit with that. Under the hood gevent uses the libevent library. Built on top of native async calls (select, poll, etc – the original async ), libevent nicely leverages a lot of low-level async functionality.
Working with gevent is fairly straightforward. One slight sticking point is the
gevent.monkey.patch_all() which patches a lot of the standard library to cooperate better with gevents asychrony. It sounds scary, but I have yet to have a problem with the monkey patched implementations.
Without further ado, heres how you use gevents to do parallel Solr requests:
import requests
from gevent import monkey
import gevent
class Searcher(object):
""" Simple wrapper for doing a search and collecting the
results """
def __init__(self, searchUrl):
self.searchUrl = searchUrl
def search(self):
solrResp = requests.get(self.searchUrl)
self.docs = solrResp.json()['response']['docs']
def searchMultiple(urls):
""" Use gevent to execute the passed in urls;
dump the results"""
searchers = [Searcher(url) for url in urls]
# Gather a handle for each task
handles = []
for searcher in searchers:
# Block until all work is done
# Dump the results
for searcher in searchers:
print "Search Results for %s" % searcher.searchUrl
for doc in searcher.docs:
print doc['catch_line']
searchUrls = ['http://mysolr.com/solr/statedecoded/search?q=law',
Lots more code, and not nearly as pretty as the equivalent Javascript, but it gets the job done. The meat of the code is these lines:
# Gather a handle for each task
handles = []
for searcher in searchers:
# Block until all work is done
We tell gevent to spawn
searcher.search. This gives us a handle to the spawned task. We can then optionally wait for all the spawned tasks to complete, then dump the results.
Thats about it! As always, comment if you have any thoughts on pointers. And let us know how we can help with any part of your Solr search application!

For the 2019 Ward Francillon Time Symposium, the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors is joining its German counterpart, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Chronometrie, in organizing a groundbreaking international conference on the history of German horology. Many of the crucial developments in clock and watchmaking occurred in Germany. Never before have these timekeepers and innovations been examined and described so comprehensively.
Our host, the world-renowned Germanisches Nationalmuseum, is extensive both in size and diversity. Its buildings contain many fine examples of clocks, watches, and scientific instruments. Its auditorium and meeting rooms provide a state-of-the-art conference facility located within the ancient walled city center. Nürnberg, one of Germany's oldest and most prominent cities, and for 500 years the capital of the German empire, offers a historic backdrop, many tourist attractions, and a range of comfortable lodgings.
Germanisches Nationalmuseum (GNM)
Kartäusergasse 1, 90402 Nürnberg
Over a dozen of Germany's most esteemed horological scholars will discuss relevant topics like the following:
: The 'Burgundy Clock' as a piece of Art
: The Peter Henlein Story
: Priest-Mechanics and their Astronomical Geographic Clocks
: The First Use of Clocks for Astronomical Observations
: Luxury Watches from Glashütte
: Good value watches from Ruhla
: Riefler: World Champion of Precision Pendulum Clocks
: What is the right time – Contributions of the PTB
The "Duke of Burgundyclock"from around 1430, on prominent display in the museum, is the oldest surviving springdriven clock in the world. In the form of a Gothic cathedral, it was made for Philip the Good and features the Burgundian lion coats-of-arms on two surmounting spires, and the symbol of the Order of the Golden Fleece founded by Duke Philip.
The Henlein watch of 1510, claimed for most of the 20th century to be the world's oldest surviving pocket watch.
Clock and watch manufacturers, auction houses, museums and other institutions will have their own booths at the Symposium. For attendees,
the full-day information exchange is a great opportunity to interact with subject matter experts, representatives of the clock and watch industry as well as each other.
For our guests coming from outside of Germany, we will offer simultaneous translation of all the German language presentations. In addition, all Symposium papers and presentations will be published in both German and English. These will be available for purchase at the Symposium. This comprehensive documentation will cover the significant achievements in the field of time-keeping in German-speaking countries. We also know how important it is to have discussions outside of the presentations. So we have programmed generous coffee breaks for conversations with experts and intensive exchanges of opinions between experts, collectors and watch and clock lovers.

Since mirrors are often found in restrooms, this makes the perfect canvas as it's a less populated area. This can give vandals an infinite amount of time to cause epic amounts of damage to the surface. Damage is traditionally done with screwdriver like tools or knives in order to carve into the surface. Once a mirror is vandalized it's rendered useless and will typically get replaced.
However, the installation of Mirror Shield can prevent the need to replace the mirror and will further protect it from damage.
Another issue with mirrors is corrosion at the bottoms or edges due to the moisture. This is just as bad looking as vandalism, sometime worse. Corrosion gives the impression of a non clean environment and looks terrible. Mirror Shield covers up the corrosion with its reflective opaque properties making the mirror look new and fresh.
Mirror Shield offers the reflective look of a mirror, while providing protection to the surface underneath. When a mirror is then re-vandalized it will only be the protective film that's destroyed, not the mirror. Mirror Shield is also a green alternative to replacing the actual mirror. Instead of throwing the mirror away and having it sit in a land fill, you're simply covering the surface to make it "like new" again. Like our other products it is acid resistant and it also uses the same adhesive so that it can't be pulled off by the general public, but by a trained technician or staff without leaving any adhesive residue behind.

Bringing water to remote communities
You can help us as we enable people to change their personal circumstances. A small amount spent on water-harvesting, trees, training, sanitation or farming will help those who are trapped in a persistent cycle of disadvantage. Help us as we bring water, livelihoods and hope to the poorest people from the Dalit and Tribal communities in the arid conditions of Rajasthan, NW India.
Formerly known as Wells for India, our organisation is celebrating its 30th anniversary. We have worked in 1,562 villages, with 1.6 million people, harvesting an incredible 1.3 billion litres of water.

Todo lo que brilla - Documentary - DVD
Todo lo que brilla - Documentary - DVD
by Chris Mercer
This documentary is about the rugged life of small-scale artisanal gold miners in Ecuador. Using it along with the novella makes for powerful cultural and linguistic lessons.
The novella that is based on the documentary is an action-packed adventure-romance that will keep you engaged to the last page. In the novella, José was a happy young man. He worked hard on his small farm with his best friend, Ignacio. José believed that soon he would realize his dream of marrying Emilia, the most beautiful girl he had ever met. Things were all going according to plan until one day an unexpected letter changed everything. José and Ignacio must leave the farm. Together the two friends face danger and adventure in the jungles and mines of Ecuador. This is their story.

In the mid-90s, Ann took a course for psychotherapists that wanted to expand their practice to include coaching. She coaches people in 8 different time zones – Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, South Africa, England, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, and all 4 time zones in the US.
At the age of 8, her science teacher asked her to "coach" a fellow student who was having difficulty. When that student went from almost failing to an A on her test, Ann was hooked for life. (It also helped that she was the eldest of 8 children, all preparation for living her passion.)
In 2002, she lead the initiative for the Kairos More To Life Foundation to create an international 80-hour coaching program that licensed advanced students to coach beginning students, as well as professional coaching skills utilizing the unique skill set of the program. This initiative spanned four countries – the US and the UK, South Africa and New Zealand.
"I signed up, with some skepticism and on a trial basis, to be coached by Ann McMaster for three months. We established development of a detailed plan, for a major transition in the company, as a result I wanted by the end of the three months. She supported me in laying out the plan, establishing milestones and sticking to them. The end result was having the plan completed on time. While achieving that result Ann helped improve my interactions with my team, with other companies and with customers. Ann also got me in touch with behaviors that I was barely aware of. but which were needed to achieve my desired results. A small side result during this time was a business transaction resulting in savings to the company of three times her fee."
"Working with you for our several recent sessions helped me to get right down to basics, gave me a couple of images to call up when I get stuck that I've used successfully to pop myself out of my stuckness, and allowed me to keep moving effectively through my transition. Best of all, I knew you were there — FOR ME."

I'm feeling quite anxious about this huge decision of studies. It could change a lot of things.
I'm interested in mainly three options : international relations, education (french teacher for secondary) or a mix of arts, IT and communications.
The program of the International Relations studies is just amazing for the 'journalist' I am (have been, I'm quite lost today). It opens career opportunities in international organizations and structures.
I had a good experience in teaching French to a student. But will it be the same in a classroom with a some students bored by it? This one loves so much France, the cultur and the language. And he's a hard-worker. So I don't know about it. But at the same time, this job is on the list of job needed in Australia.
And the last mix is because I've started with journalism and maybe it could be good not to loose this basis.
I know I'm lucky because of this choice and this financial help from my parents. But I'm so afraid not to do the right choice.
I've failed in la Sorbonne and I've succeeded in journalism, I've worked well according to some professionals but at the end, I'm nowhere. And putting again a lot of energy and hope is such a big risk. I won't have the energy to face another disaster.
I need to choose ; visa and financial safety, something I'm interested in…

|Jeanette Fox, between Jim and
Caroline Everard
Lightning flashed across the peaks a few nights ago. The deafening boom of thunder followed shortly. But the mountains were not stirred. The rain gushed through the streams, falling into ravines and crevices. But the slopes did not move.
Likewise, people endure many storms and weather life's changes with God's help. We stand secure as the mountains in the shelter of God's protection.
|Pastor Erwin ("The Mayor") and Jean Rohde
Two generations came to the cabin for a Creole boil last night. Two of our friends normally reside in California, one winters in Missouri, four live in Montana, and we're from Washington. Between us, we've grown up rurally or lived in national and international cities and towns. We have lots of stories to tell!
W put on Ray Steven's "Mississippi Squirrel Revival" and sparked a memory: "When I was a boy, I caught gophers and sold them to the kids at school for 25c," said our mischievous friend, who grew up in the Midwest during the Depression. "I made good money on sparrows, too.
|Bill Durham tobacco bags
"I'd catch them at night and tie a ribbon around their necks, and pop them in a Bull Durham bag I'd pick up along the roads. If the gophers or sparrows didn't sell, I let them go. … Sometimes I let them go in the classroom or put them in the teacher's desk." 25c was a lot of money back then!
|Kathy and Dr. Paul Olson, Waldemar
One friend is a psychologist. Another guest, long since married, remembered him as the speaker at a singles convention in Montana almost thirty years ago. The world of wildernesses, deserts, and forests is small indeed.
We first ate Creole boil with Drs. Jay and Cheryl Taylor at their lakeside cabin in Missouri. Here's a recipe if you'd like to have friends over, too. Something about the rough setting brings out the best tales of life and God's faithfulness.
Creole boil for 8-10:
|Our dinner! (X2)
Set the table by spreading newspaper across the surface. On hand – ice tea in paper cups, lemon quarters, hot sauce, steak sauce, Mixed-Up Salt, Mixed-Up Pepper, and whatever other seasonings you'd like.
Let each guest sprinkle sauces and seasonings on the newspaper, grab something from the tray, dip it, and enjoy! When everyone's eaten, removed the empty trays and ice tea, roll up the soiled paper and discarded shrimp tails, and toss the works in the garbage.
· 2 onions. Cut into eighths or quarters.
· 3 lb small potatoes. Scrub.
· 1 ear of corn per guest plus one or two for the pot. Break in half.
· 2-3 lb sausage (brats, kielbasa, or cajan sausage). Cut in 1" pieces.
· 2-3 lb raw, peeled and deveined shrimp (20-40 count. Use other seafood if you like.) Thaw in running cold water if they're frozen.
45 minutes before serving: bring to a mad boil a huge pot of water. Add onions, 1/4 cup Old bay seasoning or Zatarains shrimp boil. Squeeze in the juice of 2 lemons and toss in the peels. Optional, to taste: add a few cloves of garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns.
20 minutes before: add potatoes and sausage to boiling broth.
10 minutes before: add corn.
3 minutes before: add shrimp (cook a few minutes longer for other shellfish).
Strain, dump in trays, carry to the table, and eat! Let the broth boil merrily while you eat. Freeze the concentrated liquid and use as a base for your next Creole boil, or send it home with guests to host their own fun.

Freeminimaps idea was born in the spring of 2015 because of two main reasons: first and foremost because printed maps for tourists are almost completely unattainable with the exception of a handful of cities (either there is not enough space to lay a significant amount of locations on them or they end up illustrating an area far too minute), and secondly because we have found that a great number of web pages for tourists succumb to deficiencies. We intend to compensate for these lacks and thus make the lives of tourists much easier.
In 2015, we printed the first map of Budapest with market-seeking intentions in mind and so that we may demonstrate our aforementioned postulations. We printed six thousand (6.000) copies and distributed them throughout Europe according to our marketing strategy.
Our map brought 14.773 tourists to Budapest who have stayed for an average of 3.8 days and have spent more than 15.1 million Euros collectively. With a single click here you can ask for the details of our market research.
Since the interest for an online version had been tremendously high, we created the freeminimaps.com web site, which, in concordance with our ambitions, shall be one of the most popular and resourceful tour-affiliated web sites in the next 10 (ten) years.
If you have any questions, insights, advices or observations regarding the printed or the online maps, please contact us at the email@example.com e-mail address.

Fallout 4 Announced, Coming November 10; Mods to Work on Xbox One
Fallout 4 was the centerpiece of Bethesda's conference on Sunday, where the company formally announced the title and that it would launch on November 10. The gameplay demo revealed short combat and conversation segments: the main character is now voiced, and VATS appears to be changed somewhat from its Fallout 3 and New Vegas incarnations, slowing down time instead of stopping it completely.
Plotwise, the character is a citizen of pre-war United States, whose family is whisked away to vault 111 just as the bombs start falling. A brief sequence showed character generation for the male and female PC, a husband and wife, just before entering the vault. Following the arrival at 111, the PC somehow emerges 200 years later, and even wanders back to the ruins of their old neighborhood. How the PC survived is unclear. The demonstration also showed the PC encountering a dog, who could be commanded to move to specific locations or search for items.
A large focus of the presentation was on crafting systems; weapon and armor customization, but also, surprisingly, the ability to build your own town. With scrap materials gathered from the world, the player can build structures virtually from scratch, even getting NPCs to visit, trade with, and help defend the town. Power armor use also looked more involved, with the PC shown physically climbing into the suit rather than simply equipping it from inventory.
Later, during Microsoft's press conference, a separate Fallout 4 presentation revealed that mods for the PC version will also work on Xbox One. Whether this will also apply to the PS4 is unknown at this time.

Whether you live in a small studio apartment or you're trying to turn a room in your home into a guest room without wasting space, a Murphy bed is a sensible way to get the most out of the room in a small room, while still having a comfortable place to sleep at night.

Murphy Bed NYC
Wall beds in NYC provide many benefits. In the New York City area, space is high-priced, driving people to get the most out of the room they have. Many people find they're unable to get by living without a room mate to aid with rent, and many adults find they are compelled to move back in with their parents. If room is in short supply, a wall Bed is a perfect alternative. By simply folding into a furniture grade cabinet, precious living space may be freed-up when the bed is not being used, and guests won't even realize it's there at all. Additionally, a lot of our wall bed units have built in shelving, which also helps to optimize and organize the room. One of the reasons we have earned the status as the very best Murphy bed company in NYC is that we've got wall bed cabinets in every style and finish conceivable, so you will find a cabinet to fit any decor.
Wall Bed New York City
It's not just small apartment renters that can benefit from wall beds in New York City. Maintaining a guest room can be difficult because of the large amount of space required for relatively little use. Homeowners who want to use the room as an office, lounge or media room could find the folding guest bed to be the perfect option. A Murphy bed allows one room to double as two.

Murphy beds come in a variety of sizes and styles, including desk combos, book shelf style, upper and lower storage, side storage and more. Some have lighting and some have mirrors. A lot of them are designed to blend in so well with a wall that someone looking closely would not even realize there was a bed disguised behind the door!

Interlingua/Curso de conversation/Capitulo 5, Scenas 1 e 2 (anglese)
SCENE 1: Paris, in a conference center: Peter speaks to John Melville and accuses him of dishonestly pretending to be a possible client of his to extract from him confidential commercial information about his company. Petro becomes very irate, and John Melville tries to calm him, saying that in business such practices are common. Gerardo Florette intervenes and takes Petro away, suggesting that they have a drink and forget about Mr. Melville.
Petro finally goes with Gerardo, but not without directing some menacing words to John Melville, who seems surprised and indignant and completely without regrets about what he has done. Petro and Gerardo go to a small cafe in an area of Paris that Gerardo knows well. Petro calms down and takes a certain pleasure in the bonhomie of Paris cafe life. They talk about the conference, and the two agree that it is a waste of time. Neither John nor Petro are hungry, but they want to have a second drink and continue their activities in another part of Paris, no doubt to continue their drinking.
Petro: Hey, Mr. Melville, I have some things to say to you.
Melville: Yes, uh ...
Petro: Do you remember me?
Melville: Certainly. It's coming back to me. A flight. Between Strasbourg and Geneva.
Petro: You didn't tell me that you worked for our competition.
Melville: You're right.
Petro: And you tried to get some information from me by pretending to be a customer.
Melville: Listen. I let you believe what you wanted to believe. Business is a jungle, and you don't seem to know how it works.
Petro: I ought to slug you here and now!
Gerardo: Come on, Petro. Let's go.
Petro: As you say, we live in a jungle. In three years your company will be in bankruptcy, and you will be out of work.
Melville: I think it will be your company that will lose. We'll see about that.
Gerardo: Come on, Petro. Making a scene here will not accomplish anything. Let's go get a drink.
Petro: Be very careful about what you will do in the future, Melville. You think that you are smart and astute, but eventually you're gonna have some big problems.
Gerardo: Come on, Petro. Lets go drink something.
Melville: What is the problem with this guy? I don't understand him. I got to know him during a plane trip, and I asked him some questions about his work. That's all. I don't understand why he's gotten so mad.
Petro: Okay, Gerardo. Do you know a good place where we can go drink something?
Gerardo: Yes. There is a small, quiet cafe very near this place, at the end of the street.
Petro: Let's go there.
Gerardo: Ah, everything's going much better. So are you happy to be in France?
Petro: Yes, it'll be very good for me to have a drink at some sidewalk cafe. I haven't been able to do this in Geneva.
Gerardo: Ah, good. But what was the problem?
Petro: The weather's too cold. And it often rains.
Gerardo: Yeah. Switzerland is a funny country. And what do you think about the conference?
Petro: Frankly, I'm convinced that I'm wasting my time there.
Gerardo: You're right. There's nothing new that they are offering.
Petro: Yeah, it's a real waste of time.
Gerardo: Melville seemed really scared. I think that you were really gonna hit him.
Petro: I almost did so.
Gerardo: Do you want to eat something?
Petro: No.
Gerardo: I'm not hungry either. But I think that another drink would hit the spot.
Petro: Yeah. I need to calm my nerves.
Gerardo: Waiter, the same thing. And go easy on the water this time. Ah, Petro, to your health!
Petro: And to yours!
Gerardo: You know, after this drink, I think that we ought to try another cafe. I know another one near here that serves some really good French food.
EXERCISE 1: Ordering things in a cafe.
Guide: Well, I get the feeling that Petro will be having an interesting evening. Now I'd like to understand better the vacabulary used for ordering things in a cafe.
A man: Good evening.
Waiter: What do you want to order?
A woman: I would like a beer, please.
Waiter: What kind of beer? Bottled? Draft?
A woman: Bottled, please.
Waiter: Dark or light?
A woman: Light.
A man: Me, I'd like a whiskey.
Waiter: Yes?
A man: A beer and a whiskey, please.
Waiter: Do you want something with the whiskey? Coca Cola? Soda? Ice?
A man: Ice, please.
Waiter: The total for all that is thirty-seven euros.
A man: Thanks.
Waiter: Thanks.
A man: To your health.
A woman: And to yours.
Guide: I hope Peter didn't drink too much yesterday evening. He has a lot to do today.
SCENE 2: Paris, at the offices of Trans Infra: On the morning after their evening drinking, Petro and Gerardo are a little hung over, especially Petro, and Gerardo gives him some aspirin and some rather strange advice for taking care of his really bad headaches. After Petro has taken his aspirin, he becomes a little less sick, and a Mr. Legrand takes him to a conference room and presents him to some other people who work for Trans Infra.
Peter is given an invitation to present a discussion on the Geneva project, and he accepts. He suggests that every month they hold regular meetings of senior engineers so that everyone can exchange and update the information they have accumulated on urban transport, adding that each meeting would be in a different European city.
When Petro finishes his discussion, Mr. Legrand expresses his opposition to the project. He says that he can't send his most senior engineer to a meeting every month without unacceptably interrupting the essential work at his office. He can send one of his younger engineers to the meetings, he says, but not a veteran. Petro tries to explain to Mr. Legrand the importance of the presence of his most senior engineer at these meetings, but without success.
Gerardo: Good morning, Petro.
Petro: God morning, Gerardo.
Gerardo: How're you doing right now?
Petro: Not all that well. And you?
Gerardo: Not much better.
Petro: Where are all the others who are going to be at this conference?
Gerardo: In the conference room next to us.
Petro: Can I have some coffee before going in there?
Gerardo: Naturally.
Petro: And two aspirin tablets.
Gerardo: Aspirin? I should have a bottle of tablets somewhere. Ah, here they are.
Petro: Thanks. I hope they'll help you.
Gerardo: You might try standing on your head.
Petro: What?
Petro: Yeah. Stand on your head?
Petro: Stand on my head? What will that to?
Gerardo: It'll help you out. All your blood will go down to your head.
Petro: That seems dangerous to me.
Gerardo: On the contrary. It helps out a lot.
Petro: No, thanks. By the way, ...
(Mr. Legrand comes in.)
Mr. Legrand: We're waiting for you.
Petro: I'm coming.
Gerardo: I'd like to introduce Mr. Legrand to you.
Mr. Legrand: Everyone is in the conference room. We're waiting for you.
Gerardo: Good afternoon, gentlemen. This is Petro Minelli of the Geneva project. I am going to take a seat and let him speak.
Petro: Thanks. Okay, as Gerardo has told you, I have come to talk to you about the Geneva project. I suppose you have learned some details about it.
Mr. Legrand: No. We don't know anything about this project, and we hope that you can tell us about its most important details.
Petro: Ah, very good. Our idea is to establish an information-centralization system in Geneva. We have a small center there led by Catherina De Sanctis. Our work consists of centralizing and coordinating general and specialized information for all the projects of Marex Mundial and Trans Infra. We also will have a general advisory role for all our projects. Thus we will be able to centralize our capabilities for forming strategies to respond to new conditions of development in areas involving marketing and technology. We are especially interested in new technology. Here's an example: If the government of a city asks for a better system of urban transport, we want to have the information for presenting to it large range of options including buses, taxis, light rail, and heavy rail in cost effective and efficient combinations. Naturaly, to present an optimal series of options, we will have a research department whose knowledge base will be continually updated. To help us in these efforts we propose to hold monthly meetings of our most senior personnel so they can exchange ideas and information that our research department cannot extract from the usual sources, which often don't have access to the latest information ...
Mr. Legrand: Wait a minute.
Petro: Yes?
Mr. Legrand: If I understand correctly, you want our our principal engineers to meet once a month?
Petro: Yes. Such meetings are an important part of our plans. Didn't you know that?
Mr. Legrand: No. I've just now found out about this from you.
Petro: Uh, yes. Holding such meetings is our intention.
Mr. Legrand: Where?
Petro: What?
Mr. Legrand: Where are you going to hold these meetings?
Petro: Hmm. Well, we could discuss that later. But we had thought that these conferences could take place, for example, here one month, the next month in Geneva, then in London, then in Frankfurt--a series of meetings in each city.
Mr. Legrand: If I understand correctly, you want my chief engineer to go take one or two days out of each month to go to these meetings?
Petro: That's our idea, yes.
Mr. Legrand: To talk about new developments?
Petro: Exactly.
Mr. Legrand: This is impossible.
Petro: Impossible? Why?
Mr. Legrand: I know that the Geneva project is important. You have explained to us exactly why.
Petro: Yes, it is very important. I think there is no doubt about that.
Mr. Legrand: And you want us to put one of our principal engineers at your disposal each month.
Petro: Yes, exactly.
Mr. Legrand: But I can't allow my principal engineer to go to meetings in all the cities of Europe all the time. There is too much work to do. You should content yourself with one of our junior engineers.
Petro: I was hoping that we could arrive at some arrangement about that.
Mr. Legrand: My senior engineers have a lot of work that requires their ongoing attention. They simply cannot go to your meetings. The cost would be neglecting some important details of their work.
EXERCISE 2: Explaining situations.
Guide: Petro's trip to Paris did not have very favorable results for him. Petro had a lot of things to say during this meeting, and some of the things he said caused a few problems. I would like to practice the type of language that people use in these situations.
A man: It is necessary for you to explain the situation as it is now.
A woman: Okay, here is how it is:
A man: Tell us about the new project.
A woman: We are now about to start a new project.
A man: Tell us about the meeting.
A woman: What is needed is for us to meet regularly.
A man: Once a month in Paris.
A woman: What is needed is for us to meet regularly once a month in Paris.
A man: To discuss new projects.
A woman: What is needed is for us to meet regularly once a month in Paris to discuss new projects.
A man: Mention when the details will be discussed.
A woman: We can arrange questions of detail later on.
A man: Probably.
A woman: We can probably arrange questions of detail later on.
A man: We will be able to discuss them.
A woman: We will be able to discuss questions of detail when we meet next.
A man: Where? In Paris?
A woman: We will be able to discuss questions of detail when we meet next in Paris.
Guide: We will meet once again in Paris No. I don't think that I could speak about such things, at least not at this moment. But let's return to Petro, who has flown from Paris to his offices in Geneva.

Each winter, between December 14 and January 5, PVAS volunteers organize two Christmas Bird Counts: the Inwood Count and the Charles Town count. Volunteers count as many birds as they can within the designated area, and the data is compiled nationally to provide National Audubon and other organizations a snapshot of bird populations across the country. The data helps assess the health of bird populations and guides conservation initiatives. To learn of this year's CBC plans or to register, see the PVAS calendar or call 304-671-4995. Also, see this page for maps, tally sheets and other information you will need.
The most recent count results can be found here.
An annual four-day event in mid-February that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds. The event helps to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are across the continent. Anyone can participate, from beginning birders to experts. It takes as little as 15 minutes on one day, or you can count for as long as you like each day of the event. It's free, fun, and easy and it helps the birds.www.birdsource.org/gbbc/whycount.html
For 20 years, birds along the entire 185 miles of the C&O Canal have been counted. This survey, which had been coordinated by the District of Columbia Audubon Society, is designed to provide a snapshot count of birds present on the C&O Canal. This annual Canal Count takes place in January. Please check the Events Calendar for information and registration.
Project FeederWatch extends from November – April. Anyone with an interest in birds and nature is invited to help us all learn more about our favorite birds and to become a "citizen scientist." The cost is $15 which will provide you with:
- The FeederWatcher Handbook & Instructions;
- 17″ x 22″ Common Feeder Birds poster;
- the 2012-13 Bird-Watching Days Calendar;
- and Winter Bird Highlights, an annual summary of FeederWatch findings.
Complete information can be found at feederwatch.org.
PVAS does not receive any money from this project and we are not connected with the group in any way, but FeederWatch is one way that you can learn more about feeding winter birds and tracking the species that visit your feeder. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is a very reputable group. The website is https://birds.cornell.edu/pfw/

flailing under weighted blankets with the world's sniggering vitriol dampening my resolve which never was up to it anyway like everything else or everyone I've known, few as they may be, and diminished by time and the noise of my tentacled senses holding me under, I can't breathe.
Release me.
What… The… Furr… [huh?]
"Torrey also noticed reports that schizophrenia rates rose in the United States the same year cat ownership became popular, a fact that has led researchers to look into Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite that cats transmit to humans. It's not harmful to everyone – though it appears to make those who harbor it more sexually aggressive."
– Infectious Madness: The Surprising Science of How We 'Catch' Mental Illness, by Harriet A Washington
The Guardian Article: My Cat Really is Trying to Kill Me
Article I stumbled upon.
You Can't Hide or Run From IT
You think being
bothered by your "friend"
With their demands
and having to deal
with the complex
(or whatever they are)
emotions of another
human beings trials
and tribulations is a
big deal?
well you've got another
thing coming when this
gravy train of uninterrupted
Isolation runs out of tracks
You've got another
Thing coming
The grown up world
Will eat you the fuck up
Worse yet; there's
No way of coming to
Terms with it
Reality is all about
Experience first
And then deal with it
Don't be yourself.
You're nervous right
Now, thinking about
It. Anxious and filled
With dread.
Don't be yourself.
Nobody's going to
Save you.
Nothing's going to
Stop the encroaching
Sharp objects of life
You're thinking death.
It's so much easier
Than everything else
Just be somebody else
Hope as hard as you
Can that you're even
Capable of being
Anything other than
What you are
What you Have been…
Try or, Face the possibility
Of… Failing life.
Fail life and life will
Eject you.
Operation Be Somebody Else
Because who you are just
Cannot handle it and will
Never be able to handle it.
Do, not, be, your, self.
Confessions of a Muteful Hater: Not For Under 18z
Some may describe me as quiet and as one who does not stir up manure no matter the situation or circumstance and they wouldn't be wrong in their observations as I am for the most part a placid little fucker
But there's a particularly dark corner of my psyche in which hate and anger glows hot with excited indignation at all things alive or inanimate
Don't tell me it's my grandmother's birthday, don't ask if "I know how to warm" certain food because the microwave is crocked (I wasn't born yesteryear)
Don't make assumptions; don't tell me you're "sticking to your own truth" (for fucks sake what the hell does that mean??? Are there two thousand truths and you're the ring leader of this idiocracy?) – Fuck off.
At times I feel guilt about my private little explosions because their content is so vile they would leave many a anger-therapists in a coma of disbelief
(mind you all of this rage is kept inside); I curse and curse and curse and wish the most vile things would befall those around me and politicians most especially (next to pedo's and rapists, and general thieves)
I Hate with greater passion than I Love. One could say I love not at all. But oh hate; yes, I can taste it on the tip of my tongue.
When I was cheated on; I imagined things which have burnt a picture in my head to this day about my former lover (although I am without resentment towards the cheater now)
It is, admittedly, a good thing that all of this volcanic ire remains within.
I'd be a vile creature (much like those I despise) were it anywhere else.
[All things considered. I'm a full blown Humanist] ( 😀 )

Grade A office
- Weak leasing demand pushed up overall vacancy by a further 0.3pp q-o-q to 6.9% in Q4 2019, the highest year-end figure recorded since 2009. Rents declined by -3.5% y-o-y over the course of 2019 after an increase of 6.7% y-o-y in 2018.
- Higher vacancy resulted in sharper rental declines in most submarkets. All key submarkets, except for Hong Kong East and Kowloon Others, registered negative rental growth for full-year 2019.
- Leasing demand from Chinese companies and agile workplace operators was virtually non-existent in Q4 2019. Sources of demand included investment funds, medical centre operators and local insurance companies, all of which sought to capitalise on landlords' less aggressive terms.
- CBRE expects rents in core submarkets and Kowloon East to fall by 5% to 10% in 2020. Rents in Hong Kong East will be resilient in 2020 (up 0% to 5%) as decentralisation demand is set to hold firm.

For the second half of our honeymoon, we made our way to Italy, and today's post is all about our time in ROME. I took a day trip to Rome when I studied abroad in Florence, but visiting the city was at the top of Zack's bucket list, and I was excited to return and show him some of my favorite places, as well as discover new things together.
Day 4: We left London bright + early to head off to Rome. One plane, one train, and a few blocks of walking, and we had arrived at our hotel. With no specific plans for the evening, we decided to take a stroll towards the Colosseum. This was one of the top attractions Zack wanted to see, and even though we were going to tour the inside, I really wanted to see it at night (I had only ever seen it during the day). We were not disappointed.
Day 5: We headed back to the Colosseum for a self-guided tour through the inside, then made our way through the ruins of the Roman Forum. By the time we finished, it was lunch time and we found the perfect spot (the cutest little table on a balcony above the street) to sit back and relax with a bottle of wine.
Once we were happy + full we wandered the streets to the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, and of course, made a stop for some gelato.
In the evening, we went to our dinner with a host family (booked through a company called Bonappetour), and it ended up being one of our favorite parts of the trip. You can select a host (all are professional chefs and/or wine sommeliers), and plan your evening from there. I'll go into detail on all the food in a separate post, but our hosts, Alessandro + Elena, were so welcoming, and we had an absolute blast.
Day 6: Check out my next post on our day trip to Florence.
Day 7: On our final day (sad face), we visited the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica. The artwork and architecture is pretty amazing, but the cherry on top is definitely seeing the Sistine Chapel (apologies for my blurry photo that I attempted to snap). We spent the rest of our afternoon enjoying our last hours in the city. . .grabbed one more gelato, had a FANTASIC last meal, and even stopped by the Colosseum one more time (because it's just so darn incredible).
Final thoughts: I love Italy. . .all of it. It was great to have the opportunity to visit again, and I hope I'll have many more visits in the future. The food (and wine) are just. . .too yummy. And the sights are pretty spectacular too.
