My mother and grandmother died of Alzheimer's so Social Worker Lisa Snyder's book Speaking Our Minds had particular meaning for me. The first edition was published in 1999. Since that time number of people with this progressive dementia has increased rapidly, as preventable and treatable illnesses have receded as causes of mortality. However for the most part, beliefs about Alzheimer's and attitudes towards it have not kept pace with its increasing prevalence. This is something Lisa Snyder seeks to address with her collection of seven first person accounts told, as much as possible in the words of people with Alzheimer's. Snyder works for a research facility in San Diego, a facility that values research into the lived experience of Alzheimer's as much as the neurobiology. Speaking Our Minds provides an insider's perspective of what can be a devastating illness. However with Snyder's support the personal experience of Alzheimer's takes center stage, and readers are introduced to the variety of manifestations and human responses.
Snyder is keen to challenge the commonly held view that a diagnosis of Alzheimer's means only an inevitable process of loss. Her case studies show individuals and couples adapting in ways that suit their personal philosophies and life patterns. There is certainly a theme of loss. Alzheimer's is after all characterized by deterioration in memory. But the losses are not as complete and overwhelming as we might suppose, at least in the early stages. Something that is clearly not lost is humor, and many of the people Snyder interviewed use humor as a means of coming to terms with the changes in their lives. It can be disarming to read of someone both able to reflect on the nature of Alzheimer's and to poke fun at themselves and the earnest interviewer intent on capturing their stories. Snyder is a sympathetic and attentive listener and commentator, something which no doubt helped this cast of characters to speak so freely. Each chapter is given to one individual, and contains a brief background, followed by first person narratives interspersed with Snyder's observations. Snyder always engages with her participants. Her accessible writing helps the reader feel at home is each individual's lounge room, and in step with the rhythm of their lives. Snyder is realistic about the difficulties experienced by her interviewees. She is alive to their uniqueness, and sensitive to their sorrows.
Speaking Our Minds contains a brief introduction and closing commentary, but the heart of the book is the case studies. As Steven Sabat notes in the foreword, the book would not have been possible without the generosity, courage and trust of the seven people and their partners and families who agreed to share their lives with Snyder and her readers. Bea and Joe, Bill and Kathleen, Jean and her family, Bob and Erika, Booker and Brenda, Betty and Kurt, and Consuelo have brought the experience of Alzheimer's out of the shade and into the light of day. People with Alzheimer's and their families need professionals like Lisa Snyder to provide the emotional support and opportunity to speak that Alzheimer's, and attitudes towards it, too often denies.

There is a recent blog basically selling essays to students on the site. There is not what the site is about.
Hi Rhian, thoroughly enjoyed and learnt a lot from the Workshop event on Monday. I hope to get more invovled with NTW in the coming months. Thanks again
HI Rhian - just wondering if there is anywhere on Community that we can possibly advertise Wales arts-based jobs? Thanks
I definitely want to hear more about the ILIAD project, Rhian. I am a massive Christopher Logue fan and have felt that he never received the attention he deserved. How can I get involved, either as participator or spectator?? Really looking forward to this event.
Rhian, I so wish I could come to the Alfie play! But I'm stuck in the US and I don't know when next I'll be back. Hopefully I'll catch it at the Arcola. Thanks for all that you do.
Regards, Pete Homesick, sorry Holdway
thank you so much Rhian
i wish very good future for you

Need a simple, yet fabulous dessert for your Fourth of July celebration? Then look no further. This recipe is super-easy and fun, resulting in a finished cake that's incredibly patriotic!
I used Dorie's Perfect Party Cake and Pinch My Salt's Cream Cheese Frosting recipes, as they're both amazing and ones that I go-to every time I'm wanting the very best. What I ended up with was a festive little group of cupcakes that will bring a smile to anyone's face. They were gobbled up as soon as the last swish of frosting was applied and they might even make a second appearance at our office's Fourth celebration this Friday… along with another treat I'm baking up Thursday night (look for that post on Monday morning!).
- 2-1/4 c cake flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 1-1/4 c whole milk or buttermilk
- 4 lg egg whites
- 1-1/2 c granulated sugar
- 2 tsp grated lemon zest
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 tsp pure lemon extract
- 2 (8 oz) pkgs cream cheese, at room temperature
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2-1/2 c Confectioner' sugar, sifted
- Pinch of salt
Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a cupcake pan with white cupcake liners. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk together the milk and egg whites in a separate medium bowl. Put the sugar and lemon zest in a mixer bowl or another large bowl and rub them together with your fingers until the sugar is moist and fragrant. Add the butter, and working with the paddle or whisk attachment, or with a hand mixer, beat at medium speed for a full 3 minutes, until the butter and sugar are very light.
Beat in the extract, then add one third of the flour mixture, still beating on medium speed. Beat in half of the milk-egg mixture, then beat in half of the remaining dry ingredients until incorporated. Add the rest of the milk and eggs, beating until the batter is homogeneous, then add the last of the dry ingredients. Finally, give the batter a good 2-minute beating to ensure that it is thoroughly mixed and well aerated.
Pour 1 cup of the batter into a small bowl, then stir in red food coloring until well mixed. Pour another cup of the batter into a separate bowl and stir in blue food coloring until well mixed. Spoon red cake batter evenly into cupcake liners. Carefully spoon remaining white batter over red batter in liners. Then, carefully pour blue batter over white batter (blue batter does not need to cover white batter completely, though). Depending on your oven, bake anywhere from 18-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of one of the cupcakes comes out clean. Cool cakes for 5 minutes in the pan, then let cool completely on a cooling rack, about 30 minutes.
With an electric mixer, blend together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Turn mixer to low speed and blend in powdered sugar, salt and vanilla extract. Turn mixer on high and beat until light and fluffy. Use immediately or refrigerate, covered, until ready to use. If refrigerated, the frosting will need to be brought to room temperature before using (after frosting softens up, beat with mixer until smooth).
When ready to use, divide frosting evenly into 3 microwavable bowls. Microwave 1 bowl of frosting uncovered on High a few seconds until smooth enough to drizzle over cake. With a small spoon, drizzle all of white frosting back and forth across all the tops of the cupcakes in a striping pattern. Repeat microwaving for the second bowl of frosting until smooth. Stir in a few drops of red food coloring until well blended. Drizzle over cupcakes, scattering frosting back and forth. Repeat with remaining bowl of frosting and blue food coloring, making sure red, white and blue frostings can be seen on the cupcakes. Let cupcakes stand at room temperature until frosting is set before serving.
Adapted from: Betty Crocker, Baking - From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan & Pinch My Salt
If you prefer a sweeter and/or stiffer frosting, more Confectioners' sugar can be added (up to four cups). But remember, the more sugar you add, the less you'll be able to taste the tangy cream cheese!

Jo Baer; painter
Jo Baer (born August 7, 1929) is an American painter, whose works are associated with minimalist art. She began exhibiting her work at the Fischbach Gallery, New York, and other venues for contemporary art in the mid-1960s. In the mid-1970s, she turned away from non-objective painting. Since then, Baer has fused images, symbols, words, and phrases in a non-narrative manner, a mode of expression she once termed "radical figuration."
She was born Josephine Gail Kleinberg into an upper-middle-class family. Her mother, Hortense Kalisher Kleinberg, a commercial artist, was a fierce proponent of women's rights and imbued her daughter with a sense of independence. Her father, Lester Kleinberg, was a successful commodities broker in hay and grain. Josephine studied art as a child at the Cornish College of the Arts, but because her mother wanted her to become a medical illustrator, she majored in biology at the University of Washington, Seattle, which she attended from 1946-1949. She dropped out of school in her junior year to marry a fellow-student at the University, Gerard L. Hanauer.
The marriage was over quickly, and in 1950, Baer went to Israel to explore the realities of rural socialism on various kibbutzim for a few months. Returning to New York City, from 1950–53 she did the course work for a master's degree in psychology at the New School for Social Research. Baer went to school at night, while during the day she was employed by an interior design studio as a draftsman and secretary.
Baer moved to Los Angeles in 1953 and shortly afterwards married Richard Baer, a television writer. Their son, Joshua Baer, who became an art dealer, writer, and consultant, was born in 1955; the couple was divorced in the late 1950s. During this time Baer began to paint and draw for the first time since adolescence, becoming friends with Edward Kienholz and other local artists in the orbit of the Ferus Gallery. She met the painter John Wesley, to whom she was married from 1960-1970. She, Wesley, and Joshua moved to New York in 1960, where Baer lived until 1975. After separating from Wesley, she was in a long-term relationship with the sculptor Robert Lawrance Lobe.
Baer's work of the late 1950s emulated paintings by members of the New York School, particularly Arshile Gorky, Robert Motherwell, Clyfford Still, and Mark Rothko. Rothko, she observed, "gave me permission to work with a format." Jasper Johns's paintings and sculpture also made an immediate impression, because they suggested "how a work should be the thing itself."
In 1960 Baer rejected Abstract Expressionism for spare, hard-edge non-objective painting. Two early important paintings in this style were Untitled (Black Star) (1960-1961) and Untitled (White Star) (1960-1961).
She then introduced an even more pared-down format: the image was excised and the central area of the canvas became completely white. In 1962 Baer began the Korean series, a group of sixteen canvases. The Koreans were given their name by the art dealer Richard Bellamy, who said that Baer's paintings were just as unknown as Korean art was to most Westerners.
The Koreans were composed of a dominant field of densely painted white enclosed by bands of sky blue and black that seem to shimmer and move: this optical illusion underscored Baer's focus on "the notion of light." Baer ascribed her inspiration for the Koreans to Samuel Beckett's novel The Unnamble, which she was reading at the time. His observations about osmosis and diffusion through membranes influenced her to examine the properties of boundaries between spaces.
In many works that Baer created between 1964 and 1966, the peripheries and edges of the canvas continued to be marked by two square or rectangular bands of color. The outer, thicker border was black; inside it, a thinner band was painted in another color, such as red, green, lavender, or blue. Baer summed up the artistic concerns of her own work in 1971, writing, "Non-objective painting's language is rooted, nowadays, in edges and boundaries, contours and gradients, brightness, darkness and color reflections. Its syntax is motion and change."
Baer was accepted as a peer in the burgeoning Minimalist movement by such artists as Sol LeWitt, Donald Judd, and Dan Flavin. In 1964 Flavin organized "Eleven Artists," an exhibition that was an important step in defining the key figures of Minimalism. He included Baer, along with Judd, Flavin, LeWitt, Ward Jackson, Frank Stella, Irwin Fleminger, Larry Poons, Walter Darby Bannard, Robert Ryman, Leo Valledor, and himself.
In 1966 Baer's first one-person show took place at the Fischbach Gallery, then a center for avant-garde art. That year she was also represented in both "Systemic Painting," a survey exhibition of contemporary geometric abstraction at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, and "10," a group exhibition at the Virginia Dwan Gallery co-curated by Ad Reinhardt and Robert Smithson that further enshrined its participants as canonical for Minimalism. Besides Baer, Reinhardt, and Smithson, the other artists selected were Carl Andre, Judd, LeWitt, Flavin, Robert Morris, Michael Steiner, and Agnes Martin. Baer's works shown in these exhibitions, which included vertical and horizontal single, diptych, and triptych paintings, established her avant-garde reputation in the New York art world.
In the late 1960s, Baer was experimenting with color and shifting the visual focus of her work. While working on the series The Stations of the Spectrum (1967-1969), Baer painted over their white surfaces to make them gray. She then turned them into triptychs because she saw that these paintings had more wall power when they were hung together.
Next, as she said, "I wanted to know what happens around a corner – that interested me as an optical thing." The result was the Wraparound paintings, where-in which Baer painted thick black bands edged by blues, greens, oranges, and lavenders that went around the sides of the canvas – areas that artists customarily ignore, overlook, or cover with a frame. More than ever, the action was at the edges: "Sensation," Baer wrote, "is the edge of things. Where there are no edges, there are no places—a uniform visual field quickly disappears."
Further challenging the notion of where a painting begins or ends, Baer added sweeping diagonal and curved paths of color that streaked across her once-inviolate white fields and down the sides of the canvas. These canvases bore titles like H. Arcuata (1971) and V. Lurida (1971). The titles were orotund flights of fancy – they identified fictitious specious of plants that she extrapolated from a book of botanical Latin she owned. (Baer was cultivating prize-winning orchids in the late 1960s, and became an expert on growing them inside an urban loft.) When translated into English, Baer's Latinate letters and words have nothing to do with flowers; instead, they are visual descriptions masquerading as scientific diction. "H." stands for "horizontal" and "V." for "vertical." "Arcuata" means curved, and "lurida" means "pale" or "shining."
Baer was an active writer during her years in New York. In letters to editors, articles, and statements in art magazines, she defended the integrity and continuing importance of painting from attacks on it by Minimalist sculptors, who insisted that it had become an irrelevant art form that should be renounced in favor of the production of three-dimensional objects. Because she publicly questioned the tenets of a powerful pantheon of artists that included Judd and Morris, Baer was ostracized by a number of her former colleagues.
Among Baer's most ambitious essays, for she which was able to employ her scientific training, was "Art & Vision: Mach Bands," published in 1970. She tackled the physics and psychology of visual perception in her discussion of Mach bands, an optical illusion named after Ernest Mach, a nineteenth-century physicist who discovered that light-dark contrasts will intensify when opposing colors are placed next to each other: light areas will appear lighter and dark areas will seem darker. She linked this investigation into subjective sensations of the beholder to how edges, boundaries, and contours are experienced in modern art.
In 1975 Baer was the subject of a retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, showcasing her Minimalist work. However, Baer reached an impasse with non-objective painting. Sensing that her format had become a formula, she could go no further with it. Two transitional canvases –- M. Refractarius (1974–75) and The Old Year (1974–75) – record her desire to break away from Minimalism.
Baer needed a distance from New York's art world, and in June 1975 she moved to Smarmore Castle, a manor and working farm with a Norman keep, in County Louth, Ireland. The castle is now a wellness center, focused on the treatment of addictions.
In this new environment, the reality of horses, birds and other animals as well as the ways of country people informed her paintings. She began to paint quasi-figuratively, layering fragments of images of animal, human bodies and objects in muted, translucent colors. Baer also drew on erotic images found in early cave paintings, Paleolithic sculptures and fertility objects to create compositions that suggested palimpsests.
In 1977 Baer had a one-person exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, Oxford, and during the course of it she met the British artist Bruce Robbins. The two lived and worked together from 1978-1984, first in Ireland and then from 1982-1984 in London, creating paintings, drawings, and texts. Their collaborations were shown in eight two-person exhibitions. While in London, Baer wrote one of her best-known articles, "I am no longer an abstract artist," a manifesto published in Art in America in October 1983. Baer chronicled "abstraction's demise," and in characterizing its meaninglessness in a vastly changed world, claimed openness, ambiguity, "metaphor, symbolism, and hierarchical relationships" as necessary building blocks of modern works. Baer announced that she and Robbins were working toward a "radical figuration" based on those constructs.
In 1984, Baer moved by herself to Amsterdam, where she has lived ever since. In the 1990s Baer's paintings became, in her words, "more declarative," with richer colors, sharper light-dark contrasts, and more ambitious cultural and social criticism. Disparate images and symbols from American, European, Asian, and classical civilizations are fused with quotations from literature and densely layered allusions to the themes of war, sexuality, the destruction of the natural world, greed, injustice, repression, transience, and death. Two paintings in this style are Shrine of the Piggies (The Pigs Hog it All and Defacate and Piss on Where From They Get It and With Whom They Will Not Share. That s It) (2000) and Testament of the Powers That Be (Where Trees Turn to Sand, Residual Colours Stain the Lands) (2001).
Baer has also painted several autobiographical meditations on the twists and turns of her own life, most notably Altar of the Egos (Through a Glass Darkly) (2004), Memorial for an Art World Body (Nevermore) (2009), and a series of 6 works for exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in 2013, titled In the Land of the Giants (2011). Baer's writings over the years were brought together in Broadsides & Belles Lettres: Selected Writings and Interviews 1965–2010, which provide a general commentary on art as well as her own attitudes to her work.
At the time of this writing, Jo Baer is 87 years old and still painting, writing, exhibiting her work and giving the world the gift of her mind and heart.

I'll start by saying I no longer live in Strathspey so accept that my opinions probably hold little weight, and that this post is just that - my opinion. I don't want to implicate anyone else or piss anyone off, but I do think it's something that should be discussed and that people should know about - you might even want to go and do the routes yourself.
Farrletter is an odd little place - a steep, North-facing wall of very compact schist, similar to sections of nearby Creag Dubh. It's very close to the road so easy to access for a summer evening's cragging (if the midges don't get you!). It's got a handful of routes from E1 to E6, and the nature of the rock means they're often fairly bold (some rely on pegs) and pretty strenuous - again, similar to it's much more famous neighbour. Some of the routes are fine though, including a very safe E4 crack. The routes were developed in the 80s and 90s by locals, mainly from Glenmore Lodge. Being short and close to the road, it seems it's always been treated as a training venue rather than a normal trad crag - as far as I'm aware most people top-rope the routes and they are rarely led, even rarer onsight. I guess this style of route isn't very popular nowadays, especially if you're just after a few laps to keep fit on a sunny evening. As such, the idea of bolting it to create a sport crag has been mooted on more than one occasion.
As far as I'm aware, arguments put forward by others (taken from my own discussions and UKC 'discussions') in favour of bolting are:
- To stop wear and tear to trees used as anchors for top-roping.
- To provide a safe training venue for Strathspey climbers.
- To make the crag more popular - it's a small, insignificant crag with only local interest as a harder trad venue, plus Creag Dubh, a haven for this style of climbing, is nearby.
- The safety of old pegs is unknown - better to replace them with 100% safe bolts.
|The right hand section of Farrletter, where 3 lines have been bolted. These are roughly the lines of Master Farrter (E5 6c), Yet so Farther (E5 6b), and The Art of Course Climbing (E5 6b).
When I first went there in 2009 I think I saw the crag quite differently to the locals. Sure, there are some pretty bold looking E5s, a few E1s, E2s and E3s with spaced kit, and a smattering of dubious old pegs, but it just looked like a normal crag to me (all be it not a very pretty one).
Over the four years I lived in Aviemore I visited the crag a couple of times a year, onsighting most of the E1- E3s. I attempted to onsight the very safe E4 Too Farr for the Bear but took the lob from the top and took it again on the second ground-up attempt a week or so later. I've not been back on it. I also dabbled in headpointing while it was briefly fashionable with a few locals in 2009, climbing the E5 The Art of Course Climbing after top-rope practice. A friend, who is a far better climber than me, then climbed this route ground-up after falling onto the peg on the onsight attempt. During this time a new E6 start to one of the older E5s was climbed by Steve Johnston. All these routes were spicy little challenges, requiring as much mental endeavor as physical to do them - the essence of trad climbing. The point I'm trying to make is that to me, it's just another trad crag, with hard routes that I won't touch, and easier routes I'm happy to attempt onsight. Just like Stanage, or the Shelterstone or Sheigra. There are hard or dangerous routes all over the place and if I don't feel up to leading them, I don't. Perhaps I'm an ethical elitist, perhaps I'm an idiot.
|Headpointing The Art of Course Climbing in 2009 - is that trad gear?
My rebuttlal to some of the points put forward above would be:
- Fair enough, bolted anchors will put an end to damaging the trees at the top of the crag, but so will stopping top-roping!
- It's not for nature to provide crags as safe training venues for local climbers. To be honest, Farrletter would be a pretty crap training venue - between winter cold, summer midges and year round wetness you'd be better off a) building a board in your garage and buying a fingerboard, b) going to the climbing wall, c) going to some of the reliable year-round sport venues we already have (Moy, The Camel, Am Fasgadh, Goat Crag etc, or d) go bouldering, there's some good stuff nearby, honest.
- Trying to make a crag more popular by making routes safer is all well and good, if you find the crag and develop it yourself. But if a crag is initially developed as a bold trad crag, that's what it is. If people don't go there because they choose not to climb hard or bold routes, that's OK. A crag is just a lump of rock sticking out of the earth, it doesn't have to be popular. Even if the people that first developed it are no longer as bold as they once were and would prefer to see it made safer, others might be up for the challenge Should they have their scary routes denied them? There's a reason we all go on holiday to Spain to sport climb, not Strathspey. Spain has a prevailing ethic of bolted protection, Farrletter is (was) a trad crag.
- I'll grant you the old pegs vs new bolts argument is a tricky one, but to my mind a peg is temporary and can easily be removed or replaced. A bolt is permanent and instantly changes the nature of a route. In this case I would rather all the pegs were removed, making it an even bolder trad crag, than it was bolted and turned into a safe sport crag.
So, personally, I think Farrletter is an already established trad climbing venue and shouldn't be retro-bolted. By not seeing it as a training venue but as a normal trad crag it has provided me with some great climbing experiences - spicy and serious but memorable and rewarding. As a sport crag it will provide some pretty mediocre 10-15 metre long wall climbs on a north-facing, dark, dank crag. But I guess that's pogress.

Somebody on VFDC asked for some very basic advice so i tried by best. As usual, i only copied my own stuff - the rest can be found in the original thread. Anyway:
Considering everybody's first contact with vanessa is from her default style we'll start with that.
DS Vane's best entry-level throw is f+p+g - thank god too because you'll get it a lot when you miss the timing on her hit-thtrows ;)
Easy combos, well, that's kinda harder…
From DS her easiest combo starter is df+p+k. Continue with p+k,p;p,p,pkg float.
That's a high move though. She sort of lacks easy mid combo starters. On simple hit you have df+k+g which requires you to quickly input f+p+g. The timing can be tricky at the beginning but notice that the f+p+g input is the same as the throw we just mentioned! There's also f+p+k,p and u+k which guarantees an u+p pounce but they are retarded slow, amongst other problems. On counterhit (yellow flash) you have f+k which again requires quickly inputting f+p+g for the hit-throw (again the same throw input!) and G+d/u+p, the weird side-punch for an easy p+k,pkg followup. That move can get you into trouble though because if your opponent counterhits you instead, vane might end up sidecrumpled :_(
This wall of text can be summed up as if you can't consistently perform vane's DS hit-throws than forget about combo starters and poke away. Unfortunately if poking "is honestly beginning to bore you" DS is not much fun.
Introducing the other style!
Best entry level throw from OS is probably df,df+p+g. It does good damage for such an easy input and it will fake an opponent who's used to breaking f+p+g ;-) Rest assured though, her standard f+p+g throw is there if you need it.
For a high combo starter you have f+p+k > pounce. Fast, strong & demoralizing move. There's also uf+p which is quite slow but has good range and leaves you with the advantage even if blocked! On hit follow up with f+p,p,k.
What's REALLY nice in OS however is the presence of multiple easy mid combo starters. Her staple is uf+k+g which floats the opponent high in the air and where you can follow up with f+p,p,k again. There's also b,df+p+k which even though a bit slower can beat high attacks from disadvantage, giving you a guaranteed u+p pounce. Both those attacks are punishable on block though. If you want a safer option it's back to the hit-throws, this time with b+k+g > p+g. Vastly inferior to the DS version but hey, it's there if you need it ;) Finally, if you're feeling like showing off there's HCF+p which can be charged or canceled to a low attack :-D
OS vane has strong options on CH too: df+p will send them into the air where you can do f+p,p,k. Now, this won't work against wolf at all and against Goh, Lion and El Blaze you'll have to do p,k,p instead but aaaaaaaaanyway, it's still strong as your opponent gets knocked off his feet, plus the move evades some high attacks ;-) There's of course a CH hit-throw too, this time in the form of b,f+k > f+p+k (weird input for a hit-throw, i know) just in case you don't feel like taking risks with combo starters.
A special mention goes to F+k, a special high attack. This move will consistently beat low punches and cause a head crumple on CH. Even the easiest f+k,k,p,p followup does a hefty amount of damage.
In addition to these style specific moves, while-rising p from both styles will stagger your opponent on CH, f+k+g is a slow kick that slams down which you'll always have a use for in long range and, finally, b,b+k+g is even slower but you can low throw your opponent if the move connects :-D
Hope this helps.

This is my all-time first blog so please be patient with me!
I finished my Diploma of Professional Writing and Editing at CAE in 2010 and realised I haven't written anything since! No one to breathe down my neck with a deadline or a competition to enter.
So here goes!
Figure I'll have plenty to write about when I go riding and hiking in France in July so, until then, I'm just practising.

I have been asked how did I manage to understand the issue with the Work Item Synchronization Service I posted before, so maybe a broad answer could be better than a one-to-one.
At the very beginning, I have been notified by a user which didn't manage to see his Iterations in the proper way after some amendments.
After asking to clean the client cache – an unsuccessful try - I tried refreshing the Data Warehouse, and eventually rebuilding it. No luck again.
When this sort of issues happen, it can be nasty. My suggestion is to avoid running some scripts you may find on the web, as touching the TFS databases without the consent of a Microsoft CSS man would be very dangerous and can put your installation in an unsupported situation or even worse, it can be damaged.
You can have a look in the Event Viewer for issues, it is time consuming but often useful.
Or you can do as I did, logging into the Administrative Page (the informally called _oi) which contains a lot of informations about everything running on the Team Foundation Server, in a almost real time state.
In this case, I noticed the user raised some service calls with –1 as a result, which means error. Opening the log I looked at the error detail, so I managed to get in touch with Microsoft. Luckily the RC of the Update 3 went live shortly after the issue, so applying it was a matter of a very short time.
I strongly suggest looking at _oi very often, as it is not just a troubleshooting tool, but it is a real live look at the servers' health, with detailed reports etc.

First announced in May, French power company Total has this week completed its tender offer to purchase the bulk of battery producer Safts shares in a deal worth an estimated $1.1 billion.
The results of the public tender offer initiated by Total show that the oil company now owns 90.14% of Safts shares, a total of 23,456,093 individual shares.
Frances Autorite des marches financiers (AMF) will now re-open the public tender offer for the period between July 19 and August 2 to enable shareholders who have not yet sold their shares to do so under the same terms agreed in the initial IPO.
Total has confirmed that investment will take priority over dividend payout, meaning the company will press ahead with a delisting of the stock if a level of 95% share ownership is reached. The settlement delivery of the offer is scheduled for July 21, at which point Total will control the capital and voting rights of the French battery developer.
Each share has been purchased at a value of 36.50 ($41.62) a price that represented a 38.3% premium above Safts closing share price on May 6 when the acquisition wheels were set in motion. Total has been eager to diversify its power generation sources in recent years, opening in April a new business segment focused on gas, renewables and power, making the purchase of one of the storage industrys most dynamic companies something of a coup for the French firm.
"The combination of Saft and Total will enable Saft to become the groups spearhead in electricity storage," said Total CEO Patrick Pouyanné in May. "It will notably allow us to complement our portfolio with electricity storage solutions, a key component of the future growth of renewable energy. This transaction will also enable Saft, its management and employees to benefit from Totals technical, industrial, commercial and financial support. In addition, this transaction will enable Saft to successfully accelerate its development."
Speaking this week, Pouyanné added: "Total is pleased with the success of this tender offer. Our acquisition of more than 90% of the shares shows the confidence Saft shareholders have in our industrial project."

Before Colorado farmers can plant industrial hemp, the state Department of Agriculture must come up with a way to register and inspect their crops. To help establish those regulations, lawmakers authorized the creation of a nine-member advisory committee.
The members of that committee have been chosen, and the group met for the first time in mid-July. Farmer-turned-political-activist Mike Bowman was there and we caught up with him about the group's progress.
Bowman, who is a member, has high hopes for the group, which was assembled by the state lawmakers who sponsored the bill that created it. At the committee's first meeting on July 18, Bowman says the members introduced themselves, explained their interest in the issue and then got down to business.
"We spent the balance of the afternoon going through the particulars of what we were charged to do by the legislature," Bowman says. The result, he says, was a working document outlining what a registration and inspection process might look like.
"We want to have a very streamlined process that's transparent and puts enough boundaries around it that we aren't going to be challenged by the feds as a program lacking in oversight," Bowman says. (Although hemp contains little to none of the psychoactive ingredient THC found in its sister plant, marijuana, the federal government does not distinguish between the two. Both are illegal at the federal level.)
"This shouldn't be onerous," Bowman adds, "but it should be stringent enough that we satisfy the letter of the law. I'm convinced after one day in the room with this group that that is exactly the balance that we will find."
Bowman comes from a family of farmers who currently grow corn, wheat and a rotation of niche crops in the eastern Colorado city of Wray. He became interested in hemp after reading about North Dakota's long-running fight to grow the outlawed crop. In 2006, he connected with other Colorado hemp activists, and he now splits his time between his home state and Washington, D.C., where he advocates for environmental issues.
He's proud that Colorado is on the leading edge of industrial hemp legalization. It started with last year's pot-centric Amendment 64, which also directed the state legislature to "enact legislation governing the cultivation, processing and sale of industrial hemp" by July 1, 2014. Lawmakers beat that deadline in May when they approved the bill that created the advisory committee and gave the Department of Agriculture until March 1, 2014 to come up with a process to register hemp farmers.
The passage of that bill caused much celebration among eager farmers -- and a considerable amount of confusion. Deputy agriculture commissioner Ron Carleton cleared up any misunderstanding with a statement issued in late May:
The legislature, the statement says, "has made it clear that cultivation, for either commercial or research and development purposes, is not authorized unless the prospective grower first registers with the Department. That will not be possible until early 2014 as we do not expect the registration program to be in place before then."
Bowman admits that the committee's deadline is tight, especially since the regulations will be subject to public input before they're finalized. But he's ready to put in the work. "Here we are, making history," he says. "We have a great group working on it."
So who are these history-makers?
Continue to read about the members of the hemp advisory committee. The nine members of the advisory committee are:
Boulder District Attorney Stan Garnett Garnett has said he's "committed to having the most progressive approach to medical marijuana of any DA's office in the state." And he's put his money where his mouth is, even telling the feds to back off Boulder's medical marijuana dispensaries. But he wasn't always so progressive. In fact, his office was one of the first to prosecute a medical marijuana patient for having too much weed. That patient, Jason Lauve, was acquitted -- and has gone on to become an advocate for hemp, as well as medical marijuana. Below, watch a video of Lauve asking Garnett about the case.
Ben Holmes, seed development and genetics Holmes is a horticultural wizard whose cannabis seed business, Centennial Seed Distributors, was effectively quashed by a letter from the Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division clarifying that state law requires seed production to be done by marijuana dispensaries -- and not by separate companies like his. But though he may have lost that business, Holmes didn't lose his green thumb. He's been working on cultivating hemp seeds since getting involved with Colorado's industrial hemp phytoremediation study, a first-of-its-kind research endeavor authorized by lawmakers in 2012.
Chad Pfitzer, citizen advocate Pfitzer owns Redtail Cartography, an agricultural mapping business in Broomfield. He testified in favor of the bill that created the commission. The Associated Press quoted him as saying that Colorado farmers could do for hemp what George Washington Carver did for the peanut: "We can take industrial hemp to the next level."
Troy Bauder of Colorado State University, research institution Bauder's bio on the CSU website describes him as a water quality specialist focused on preventing ground water contamination due to the use of fertilizers and pesticides.
Deputy Attorney General David Blake Blake's full title is deputy attorney general for legal policy and government affairs. A press release about his appointment, says Blake "is responsible for working with state lawmakers and other state officials on issues of interest to the Office of the Attorney General."
Michael Bowman, commercial farmer
Alfonzo Abeyta, hemp farmer from a cooperative Bowman says Abeyta is a farmer from the San Luis Valley.
Ed Lehrburger of PureVision Technology, hemp manufacturing industry Here's a description of what PureVision Technology does, courtesy of its website: "PureVision has developed a unique process to extract the carbon-derived sugars and lignin stored in plants to produce a myriad of renewable and carbon-neutral products."
Tracy Shogren of The Hemp Store, hemp small business The Hemp Store in Manitou Springs "is the only store in Colorado dedicated to hemp!," its Facebook page says. "Everything is related to hemp in some way, from colored hemp twine and hemp necklaces to hemp clothing and food. We also have a wide selection of locally crafted glass pipes, and some classic hippie rock tour posters from bands like The Beatles, the Grateful Dead and The Rolling Stones."

Yesterday, two company employees were returning back to our office in Adabraka after collecting a large sum of money from Fidelity Bank at Ridge. While on the move, a strange sound was being heard from one of the vehicle tires. The driver eventually came to a halt in order to investigate the source of the sound. In the mean time the vehicle was being followed by two men on a motorbike.
As soon as the driver left the vehicle, he was attacked by the men on the motorbike. Following this the other employee left the car to assist the driver and this led to the money that was collected from Fidelity bank to be snatched through the door that was left ajar.
Investigation has begun, however, the Police were not able to help thus far; BROLL Ghana, who brags of impeccable building management services, could not assist on the matter despite them being the company managing the building and finally Fidelity bank, does not even have a CCTV camera system to provide footage of the early chase.
The culprits stuck a fabricated object onto the tire when the vehicle halted at the traffic light (images attached below). The fabricated object was made of rubber, some nails and an empty coke can.
The bank manager later mentioned that this sort of crime had happened before and that there was a discussion on this recurring theft with other bank managers (DISCUSSION AND NOT ACTION) I shall not delve into the flawed security we are suffering from and how BROLL and Fidelity Bank take their customers for granted, but rather I wish to provide tips on how to avoid being the next victim.
- Be on alert when leaving your bank in case you are being watched
- Check your car tires before sitting in your car
- Keep an eye on your mirror in case you are being followed
- Be alert while at a traffic light, as this was when the object that enabled the crime to enfold was stuck beneath the tire
- If at any point you hear a strange sound from your vehicle, try your best to only stop at a police station or a public area, because the moment you stop, the thieves will stomp on you.

Here is what businesses and individuals need to do to close the major security gap caused by the Heartbleed bug and the end of Windows XP support.
Preventing Cybercrime
First Windows XP and Now Heartbleed: What Should You Do?
You probably heard that support ended for the Windows XP operating system. Then came Heartbleed — a major computer security flaw that was all over the news last week. The Heartbleed security gap affected online banking and shopping sites, Gmail, Facebook, and many other popular websites.
"Anywhere you log in that is supposed to be secure could potentially be affected by this breach,ˮ says Randy Romes, an information security principal with CliftonLarsonAllen. "Organizations and individuals can close the security gap by following specific procedures.ˮ
The end of Windows XP support could impact the availability, integrity and security of any network that has a Windows XP system connected to it. It could also impact your ability to be compliant with internal control reporting standards (SSAE 16/SOC), and audit and attestation outcomes.
Here's what happened with Heartbleed
The security flaw was discovered in the popular encryption application, OpenSSL, allowing attackers to gain access to private data. Only applications that directly depend on OpenSSL versions 1.01 through 1.01f are affected by this vulnerability.
Here is what you should do
Don't ignore this security breach. Take the following steps to help build back your web security.
- Create an inventory of every website you log into with a username and password.
- Go to the website of each vendor — but don't login. Instead, look for a notice indicating whether the merchant patched the flaw on the site. You can also determine if a website has made the patch by typing a web address into Qualys SSL Labs (https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest) which tracks SSL patches.
- If the web vendor has validated that it has patched the security hole, change your password. But do not change your password until the website has patched the hole.
"End-users should not update their password until they know the flaw has been fixed by the website,ˮ says Romes. "If the vendor has not fixed the breach but you already changed your password, you will need to change it again after they fix it.ˮ
Here is what businesses and organizations should do
Businesses and organizations that conduct business online must also take action to secure their site.
- Investigate which version of OpenSSL you use to determine if your product is vulnerable to the Heartbleed flaw.
- Work with your SSL vendor to get the proper update for your system, and update your digital certificates per vendor instructions.
- Then announce to your user community (through website and social media channels) to update their passwords.
"One way to ensure your users update their password is to force all passwords to expire. This will prompt end-users to change their passwords the next time they log in,ˮ says Romes.
The end of Windows XP
April 8, 2014, marked the end of Microsoft support for the Windows XP operating system. Without vendor supplied security patches, any newly discovered vulnerabilities could create potential targets for exploitation, malware, and other malicious attacks.
What to do if your organization runs XP
If Windows XP systems reside on your network, migrate to a vendor-supported operating system, such as Windows 7, Windows 8, or other desktop computing operating systems. For more information visit the Microsoft Windows XP website (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enterprise/end-of-support.aspx).
How we can help
CLA can perform scanning and penetration testing of your businesses systems to help you understand if your organization is vulnerable to Heartbleed, viruses related to the end of Windows XP, or other malware concerns.

Dear Business-Builder,
Back in the old days – when 99% of my business was creating direct mail promotions – it was a well-known fact that there are two crucial "hot points" for marketing every year: January and September.
Why? Well, because these two months signal watershed events in our prospects' lives.
In January, we've just endured the holidays. We ate too much, drank too much, gained too much weight and did too little work.
In September, we'd just survived the summer. We ate too much, drank too much, gained too much weight and did too little work.
So on these two dates, we feel guilty, fatter, poorer – and more than a little panicked that our lives deviated from the mean – than at any other time of the year.
And so, beginning bright and early on January 2 and September 2 as our heads begin to clear, we observe our semi-annual penitence: A time for agonizing reappraisals of our priorities. A time for resolutions. A time to reapply our proboscises to the proverbial grindstone.
You know what? Nothing has changed. Because human nature never changes.
Ever hear of The Hangover Prayer? Most of us have used it. First you kneel (usually in front of a porcelain alter), close your eyes, and tug on The Almighty's robe: "Dear God," you intone, "please, please, please don't let me die. I promise I'll never, EVER drink again."
"Oh – and this time, I mean it!"
I've often thought that, because of the sheer volume of praying that occurs on those two days – they should be declared official religious holidays. I mean; why not? Almost nobody shows up for work anyway!
At any rate, since January marks the beginning of a period of renewed commitments and intensity, millions of our prospects will be looking for products and services to help them actually deliver on their resolutions this time around.
So expect more ads for Weight Watchers and NutriSystem on TV … more health and wealth promotions in your mail box … and more promos for self-help products of all stripes in your inbox.
Also, you may want to mark your calendar: The next big opportunity to sell the heck out of your self-help products comes in just 235 days.
But that's not what I'm really writing about, here. I'm thinking about the resolutions I've already made this year …
- To shed a ton of weight and get back in shape.
- To launch a new consumer product online every six weeks – eight in the next year.
- Most importantly, to spend more time with the two greatest kids on the planet. And to do my darndest to make sure that The Redhead is the happiest married lady in the galaxy.
But that's just the "what."
Now, it's time for the tough part: "HOW?"
See, this is where most resolutions fall apart. We all know what we should do and beyond that, what we need to do to turn our dreams into reality. It's crafting an action plan – and then sticking to it – that flummoxes us.
Now, I'm not going to try to tell you I'm the most disciplined guy you'll ever meet. If I did, The Redhead and all our employees and friends would probably jump on this blog and make me into a laughingstock.
Truth is, I'm probably the least disciplined guy I know. I love to procrastinate. Giving myself the day off is one of the great joys of my life. So if any of my resolutions have a prayer of lasting more than a nanosecond, I know I'll need three things:
- A clear vision of what I want my life to be like on September 2, 2011 …
- A detailed daily or even hourly action plan that ensures that I do everything required to get there, and …
- People to keep me accountable along the way.
Of course, reams have been written by self-help gurus about #1 and #2 above.
Item #1 is simply positive thinking … keeping your vision before you … and making it as tangible as possible in your mind.
And we've all heard – ad nauseam – that the tactical part, item #2 above is crucial because the Devil really is in the details.
But you know what? Giving ourselves excuses for our failure to carry though – justifying our lack of discipline – is the killer.
So we all need a nag.
Someone who knows us as well as we know ourselves … who can see through our excuses … and who doesn't mind (better yet, delights in) providing the swift kick in the keester we need to get back on track.
And we also need help from people who aren't quite as close – strangers, even.
I've heard that Weight Watchers is far more effective at helping folks lose weight than any other diet plan out there. And for me, that has proved true.
Why? Because every Thursday at 5:30, I knew I'd hear a total stranger say, "OK – so jump up on the scale and let's see how you did."
And every week, the number that stranger would give me blew away every rationalization, every excuse, every little indulgence I thought I'd gotten away with right out of the water.
In that one moment, rationalization I'd indulged in was exposed for what it was: Mental monkey-spanking; pure and simple.
So priority #1 is to find people who'll nail me when I screw up.
Next, someone who's job it is to notice when I do things right.
Like Martha-the-customer-care babe, for instance. I once told her, "Your new job is to notice when I lose weight and to say so."
Next day, I had an e-mail: "You look so skinny," Martha said, "It looks like a whole family of Gypsies just moved out of the seat of your pants."
I beamed.
That's my plan – what's yours?
What are your goals for the next 235 days? Where do you want to be on September 2, 2011?
What do you need to do to get there?
Who's going to help keep you honest as you work towards your goal?
Share your ideas with us – and maybe pick up some helpful ideas in the blog below …
Yours for Bigger Winners, More Often,

Police National CBRN Centre in UK deploys Argon simulators in exercise
The UK Police National CBRN centre at Ryton deployed a range of Argon simulators to support a major chemical terrorism exercise staged at the ICC Convention centre in Birmingham on 15th August.
Funded by the European Union as part of a project to provide a means of analysing how members of the public react in times of emergency, the exercise also provided an important opportunity to exercise and evaluate the coordinated response of the emergency services to a CBRN related incident.
Argon simulators were provided to the Multi Agency Incident Assessment Teams (MAIAT), with simulation sources deployed at strategic locations within the auditorium and on "contaminated" individuals by the Ryton staff. Chemical warfare detector simulators used by the MAIAT team then responded accordingly, permitting on Scene Commanders to receive important information to inform their decisions.
This extensive multi agency chemical terrorism exercise incorporated command post set up, initial search and rescue and decontamination of casualties and included numerous participants acting as "victims", many of whom had little briefing on what to expect in order to enhance the realism of their reactions. This enabled the Multi Agency Response to hone their skills and identify any areas that may help further improve the efficiency of their response to such an incident.

The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) helps federal agencies meet their renewable energy goals, reduce environmental impacts, and improve resilience. FEMP's procurement experts bridge information gaps to help agencies meet their distributed energy goals and requirements.
The Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 2005 requires no less than 7.5% of total agency electricity consumption to come from renewable energy in fiscal year 2013 and thereafter. Renewable electricity generated on federal agency land or buildings and used by that agency receives double credit toward this goal.
There are two renewable energy procurement pathways available to federal agencies:
Find Distributed Energy Procurement Training
FEMP offers a variety of training options to help agency personnel develop a better understanding of the distributed energy procurement options so they can determine how best to proceed with a project. Find distributed energy procurement training.
Get Distributed Energy Procurement Assistance
The FEMP provides assistance to federal agencies interested in distributed energy procurement through experts at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). To get started, contact Rachel Shepherd at DOE, Chandra Shah at NREL, or Gerald Robinson at LBNL.
These experts facilitate cooperation between the federal agency and:
Defense Logistics Agency-Energy: Offers acquisition support for facility energy requirements such as REC purchases and long-term distributed energy project development
General Services Administration: Acquires competitive electricity for the federal government, often using reverse auctions, and bundles renewable energy purchases with basic electricity to help multiple agencies meet their renewable energy needs. GSA purchases some energy through power purchase agreements and RECs
Western Area Power Administration: Facilitates long-term contracts for federal agencies in its service territory through the Renewable Resources for Federal Agencies Program.

Back in April, I asked you readers for specific situations you needed help applying logical consequences in, and we got quite the response! I am taking each scenario and breaking down how I would react and have reacted.
Scenario #2:
Kicking during diaper changes.
Let's go ahead and just broaden this to all difficulties during diaper changes. Not all children will specifically kick, but all will do something. Some might try to roll over. Some try to sit up. Some arch the back. Some grab at the diaper…oh the list goes on.
This is another one of those things that is just going to happen. It will. Your child starts life out laying relatively still as you change the diaper, but one day, she will start to squirm and cause you trouble.
First of all, let's discuss something. Do what you can to keep things clean and your child safe. Don't leave the child unattended at the changing table or on any surface. Perhaps buckling the child down will help keep your child more still (though not more happy). If you change your child on the floor or other surface that is not "baby deification proof," put a pad under your baby or something so if and when baby creates a mess with the wiggling, it won't be so traumatic for you.
Next, I think the best thing to do with these diaper changes is to keep the child distracted. Distract, distract, distract. A baby does not want to hold still for a diaper change. Does she need to? Absolutely. But this isn't a situation that requires complete reverence.
If any experienced mom is like me, she finds herself trying to had her four week old a toy before she changes the diaper. I did this with both of my girls. I would put them down for a diaper change and try to give them a toy…then I realized they couldn't hold a toy yet 🙂 It is so much a part of the habit of diaper changes, it is what we do.
Keep some interesting toys at the changing table. Rotate often. I will also hand McKenna the new diaper to hold or her diaper cream. She likes to "brush" her hair currently, so I will give her a brush while I change her diaper. Distract, distract, distract.
Sing songs. Engage your child. Talk about what you are doing. Explain you are taking her pants off. Talk about her having a messy diaper, then talk about it being fresh and clean. This is an opportunity to teach opposites and various concepts.
Distract, distract, distract.
Despite your best distracting efforts, there will be times your baby will not have it. She will not be deterred! I have had this problem with McKenna at times. This happens when she wants to sit up. Well, I just can't change her diaper sitting up. I am not that talented. So I lay her back down, hand her something to play with, and tell her to stay down. I do this in a firm voice. I give her "the look." I do not give in. You can't really give in with situations like this; the diaper must be changed.
Now, let's discuss when the behavior moves from simply wanting to play to outright anger at the situation. Your child might kick in anger. She might throw a fit. She might scream. In this situation, I would simply look at the child with "the look," tell her that's a no, and keep going. If your child kicks you, I would grab the foot, lay it back where it should go, and say, "That's a no. You do not kick Mama."
If she is crying out of sadness rather than anger, I would talk to her as you change her diaper and say, "I know this isn't fun. Mommy is hurrying as fast as she can. You can play as soon as Mommy gets you all clean."
If your child is old enough to understand, you can give warnings. "In one minute, we are going to change your diaper, then you can play again."
If your child tends to make a messy diaper right when she wakes up, you can change her before any fun even begins.
The older the child, the firmer I would be with not being allowed to move around during the diaper change.
I think this is a situation that will be easier remedied if your child obeys you in other areas. Your child needs to know that when mom says no, it means no. So be consistent in all areas of life, not just the diaper change. If screaming and crying can get her out of other things, she will try it for diaper changes, too.
As a recap, here are some dos:
- Do distract. Go to the toy or other item to play with first. Also, sing songs, count toes, count how many seconds it takes, etc.
- Do go fast. Go as fast as you can go.
- Do be firm.
- Do be consistent. Don't delay the diaper change if the fits come.
- Do repeat. You might have to do these things over and over again before your child gets it.
- Do warn. Give your child fair warning before the diaper change if she is old enough to understand it.
My Stories
I don't really have any standout experiences with this. It is something my oldest and youngest did do or does right now. Kaitlyn wasn't really ever too bad about this for the most part.
Right now, it is prevalent in the life of barely 14 month old McKenna. She always wants to sit up. I lay her back down over, and over, and over again. It takes time, consistency, and patience. If I can give her something of interest, she will be just fine. But if I expect her to lay still with nothing to do, I will be laying down the little girl soon.
This time period requires patience. You can both work through this. Hang in there!

Sometimes, shit happens. Sometimes, it sucks. Sometimes, you just have to go through some tough shit to move on to the better shit. And that's where I'm at now.
So this is the quote I'm living by.
"Better to be at the bottom of a ladder you want to climb than in the middle of some ladder you don't, right?"
How true. I may now be at the bottom of a ladder, but it's the right ladder. It's a tall ladder, with a lot of shit on the bottom, but worth it.
So when life gives you lemons, you make the best damn lemonade you've ever had.

Every time I walk into my new listing at 1439 Lachona Court, I hear the lyrics to The Knack's 1979 mega-hit ""My Sharona."" It's not that it's just a great house, because that much is obvious. There's something else- a je ne sais quoi that occurs when you walk inside that just makes you feel very, very happy. Perched high above a sloping hill, overlooking a sleepy cul-de-sac, this brick beauty has a lot going for it. Some highlights:
This house is centrally located, well appointed and beautifully maintained. Located off of Briarcliff Road- just south of the N. Druid Hills exit on I-85- it's within minutes of Buckhead, Midtown, Decatur and Emory. Walking distance to Whole Foods, synagogues, churches and schools. If you know anyone that's looking for a four bedroom house in this part of town, have them give me a holler. They'll love My-My-My-Lachona.

4 Bedrooms, 3.5

* Just in case you were curious, Sharona Alperin– for whom ""My Sharona"" was written- is currently a Real Estate agent in Los Angeles. So no, I'm not the first Realtor to use this song to market a home.

Rihanna and Drake kept their promise and dropped their new video for "Work" on Monday.
Well, actually, they did more than keep their promise.
They shocked everyone and dropped two new videos for the No. 1 single off Rihanna's latest album, Anti.
The first video takes place in a club called "The Real Jerk" and was shot by Director X.
This version places RiRi and Champagne Papi among other club goers as they exchange some playful back-and-forth with one another in the midst of all the commotion.
The second version of the video was shot by Tim Erem and finds our lovey-dovey pair in a private pink-lit room.
This version is much more intimate as Drizzy and the Bad Gal take turns trying to seduce each other, which seems to have worked on both ends.
Drake also managed to throw in a little "Hotline Bling" dance into the middle of this, which, of course, never hurts.

Eriksson's 'phone hacked as newspaper exposed his affair with secretary at FA'
There was a sustained campaign of phone-hacking against Sven-Göran Eriksson for most of his time as head coach of the England football team, the Old Bailey was told yesterday.
Mr Eriksson, 65, was allegedly targeted by a News of the World investigator over four years as the defunct Sunday tabloid ran stories about his private life and football dealings.
The court heard that in 2002 Glenn Mulcaire, who has pleaded guilty to phone hacking, was told to monitor Mr Eriksson, who held the England job from 2001 to 2006.
Police took from Mulcaire's home notes about changing the voicemail pin of Faria Alam, a secretary at the Football Association, in June 2004. A month later the tabloid, which belonged to the same publishing company as

contaminating any new plants.
Put on a pair of garden gloves and remove any plants from your potting soil.
Lay a tarp outside and dump the contents of your flower pots in the middle of the tarp. Run your hands through the old potting soil and remove any plant roots, pieces of plant or stones. Crush up any soil clumps.
Weigh or eyeball how much old potting soil you have. Figure out what half of that is and add that much compost to the pile. You will end up with a ratio of 2:1 (old potting soil to compost). The compost will add new nutrients to your old soil. https://www.gardenguides.com/124481-rejuvenate-potting-soil.html I have saved coffee grounds and eggshells all winter long so I add 10% off these ingredients to the pile.
Homemade Organic Fertilizer Recipe
To make your own balanced all natural fertilizer:
1/3 cup of green sand (potash and minerals)
1/3 cup of rock phosphate or bone meal (phosphorous and minerals)
1/3 cup of alfalfa or soybean meal (nitrogen)
1 tbsp Azomite (70 minerals and trace elements)
Add 25 percent of either peat moss or perlite to your old soil. This will keep your old potting soil draining well. https://www.motherearthnews.com/organic-gardening/revitalize-your-potting-soil-with-compost-and-homemade-fertilizer-zbcz1403
Use a shovel to mix the ingredients. Once they are combined, you can begin refilling your flower pots. This recipe has everything covered. I am so ready to make some potting soil! It has been six months since the weather has been 50* A very long winter for us in Northern Wisconsin. Any way you choose to mix your soil will definitely improve the depleted nutrition, your plants will thrive again this Summer. Best of luck and Happy Gardening! 2/25/2018 I am going to try this. http://theplantguide.net/2017/09/24/7-things-put-tomato-planting-hole-best-tomatoes/ It all makes sense to me.

I have gotten the new patch to run with my GC Naval Mod. Copied the stock the Maps and Scenarios folders to the modded DB folder (the GoldMaps and GoldScenarios folders were already there) and the crash no longer occurs when the Mod is activated using JSGME.
No idea why this works, it makes no sense based on my understanding of how WW1G and JSGME manage files. So, obviously I have been understanding incorrectly and I know less (probably much less) than I thought I did. Am still working on a fix for those who use the Naval Mods but not JSGME to activate them.

I just tried a few times now, this time playing as Entente there is an exe crash during execution of war plans. I wonder if is it related to donating ships. Usually entente AI gives the battleships so no crash .
And yes if there is no crash after war plan phase, I change settings of only vsync. Music and sound are always on.

It is interesting that no other crash occur throughout the game for me;played 2 full campaigns overall with this beta but that event or war plans have something. My guess of course.

Stimulates new healthy skin cells production and increases collagen formation. Increase hydration. Cleans clogged pores.
