With Prof Bruce Coaching, you'll discover
If you are one of the 80% of Canadians and Americans who don't have a defined benefit pension plan, if saving millions of dollars to provide for your sunset years just isn't doable, if you are fed up with tech bubbles, fund and financial advisers as well as poor returns from mutual funds, GICs, t-bills, money market funds, bank savings account interest, bank fees, life insurance "investments", the stock market, bonds, LIRAs, RRSPs, TFSAs, 401(k)s, IPPs, IRAs, option trades, day trading, precious metals, gold and other types of investing save and except your own small or medium sized enterprise, one you own and control, and real estate then you'll want to talk to Prof Bruce about his amazing real estate coaching that really works.
Bruce Firestone, B Eng (civil), M Eng-Sci, PhD
Real Estate Investment and Business coach
Century 21 Explorer Realty Inc broker
Ottawa Senators founder
Learn from someone who has actually been a successful developer, investor and real estate broker as well as Ottawa Senators founder plus has a PhD in urban economics.
If you are looking to get a new business off the ground, remember Prof Bruce has helped over 300 startups in his career so far.

You will learn to buy smart, hold and grow rich using Warren Buffett's philosophy of tax-free refinancing; Earn independent income through real estate so you can provide for yourself and your family; How to really finance property

Investment: less than you would expect (please inquire)
Value: priceless
I so enjoyed Prof Bruce's presentation to our home-building group. Bruce is a born teacher, and I should know—I was one for many years. He's very inspirational and extremely dynamic. I'd love for him to come to our area and show us how to animate our community and local economy.
Bruce's presentations are inspiring, entertaining and educational. He took the time to learn about our organization, our goals and exactly what we wanted to accomplish at our event. He created a fully customized deck for each keynote and we'll certainly invite him back to address our group again.
I believe in mentors. If we all lived to be 300, then we wouldn't need them—we could learn everything on our own. Coaches like Bruce are your shortcut to success—they are the least costly, highest ROI investment you will ever make.
Bruce Firestone's keynote at the Growing Rural Tourism Conference in Camrose, Alberta was so inspirational and spellbinding that he almost sold me a campground in rural Ontario!
Having Dr. Bruce Firestone at Bizfest was a huge success. I heard nothing but positive feedback from all our delegates. One delegate said she could have listened to him speak all day. His message is inspiring, and the delivery very relatable and down to earth. Bruce not only delivered but went above and beyond, offering to be available for an additional Q&A session, when one of my other presenters had to back out at the last minute. The fact that the Q&A session was packed, directly following his keynote speaks volumes to how much the delegates enjoyed and respected his message.
I am so grateful for all your coaching throughout the last six months, Prof Bruce. It's been SO valuable. I am about to close on my first $2 million-plus real estate acquisition (a downtown retail plaza)—I couldn't have achieved the same results without you!
Prof Bruce will show you, through his business and real estate investment coaching, how to create wealth over the long term as opposed to 'capture' it. There's a serious difference between the two (one is sustainable, the other is not).
What made Bruce's keynote really special was his charisma on stage; he can definitely charm a crowd. His content about entrepreneurship and the sense of humor in his presentation were awesome, but there's really one thing that made it exceptional—his stories and case studies. They were powerful and motivational, especially the one on how he persevered in his battle to land an NHL team for Ottawa. That made me feel like I was capable of everything after his talk.
The students are still raving about your course, Startup DNA. They learned so much, and have made all the other Hyper Island students in Stockholm jealous (the ones who couldn't attend).
Bruce, you are truly an awesome person. Thank you for what you do for people like us—teaching us to be Firestone Institute co-coaches and giving us our own personal business models for success. We are all lucky to have you in our lives
I'd like to thank you and Spirepoint.ca for delivering such a great real estate course, which I enjoyed very much. I learned a lot, and the real-life examples and stories you shared with the class were a huge bonus.
Roy and I continue to grow our rental portfolio, Bruce. We are now at 16 units, which will soon be 20! The next two are semi-detached. This is keeping us both very busy. Conventional mortgages continue to be our main challenge, but we are happily working for ourselves thanks to our coach!
If you're struggling to get clear on your next move or your overall goals, why not book a call?
Let's talk and see if we're a fit.

Think Progress: Radio Show Distributed By NPR Fires Host After She Takes Part In Protests
-By Zaid Jilani
October 20, 2011- On Tuesday, Roll Call ran a story noting that Lisa Simeone — a radio personality who hosts the shows World of Opera and Soundprint — has been taking part in and serving as an informal spokeswoman for anti-war protests in Washington, DC known as October 2011 (which are separate from the Occupy D.C. demonstrations). The Daily Caller and Fox News soon picked up on the story, attempting to stir a controversy.
These media sources implied or incorrectly stated that Simeone worked for National Public Radio (NPR), noting that NPR has prohibitions on "engag[ing] in public relations work, paid or unpaid." The truth is that Simeone was not an NPR employee and rather served as a host on a show that was distributed by some NPR stations.
Yet NPR reacted sharply to pressure from conservative media outlets, sending out an e-mail to its staffers noting that it was "in conversations" with radio station WDAV, which produces one of Simeone's shows, about "how to handle this. We of course take this issue very seriously." And late last night, the station that hosts Soundprint caved to pressure from NPR and fired Simeone from her job hosting the show after NPR's code of conduct was read to her.
In an interview with journalist David Swanson, Simeone noted that she wasn't even an NPR employee and that her show did not cover politics. She also noted that a wide variety of NPR's other employees appear as commentators on conservative media or take speaking fees for their work:
Simeone told me: "I find it puzzling that NPR objects to my exercising my rights as an American citizen — the right to free speech, the right to peaceable assembly — on my own time in my own life. I'm not an NPR employee. I'm a freelancer. NPR doesn't pay me. I'm also not a news reporter. I don't cover politics. I've never brought a whiff of my political activities into the work I've done for NPR World of Opera. What is NPR afraid I'll do — insert a seditious comment into a synopsis of Madame Butterfly?
"This sudden concern with my political activities is also surprising in light of the fact that Mara Liaason reports on politics for NPR yet appears as a commentator on FoxTV, Scott Simon hosts an NPR news show yet writes political op-eds for national newspapers, Cokie Roberts reports on politics for NPR yet accepts large speaking fees from businesses. Does NPR also send out 'Communications Alerts' about their activities?"
Last month, NPR's ombudsman explained that the station was choosing not to cover the protests on Wall Street because it didn't view them to be sufficiently newsworthy. Now, it appears that the station is going out of its way to pressure independent stations to fire hosts who take part in similar protests.

I've been working on a little video project for my friends at the Baptist World Alliance.
Back in 1988-89, I spent 10 weeks traveling in Europe and Israel, conducting interviews and videotaping sites and artifacts of significance in Baptist history. Now, we're digitizing that footage to produce some little vignettes for the BWA website.
Baptists in many parts of the world do not enjoy the religious liberties that we in the United States often take for granted. We have the freedom to assemble and worship freely. Our disagreements about the meaning and details of baptism sometimes result in people getting upset and leaving a certain congregation. But I haven't heard of anybody in the U.S. being martyred for his or her beliefs about baptism in the last couple hundred years.
That's not the case for Christians in some parts of the world today.
And it wasn't the case for the Christians in Europe in the 16th century. I was reminded of that while reviewing some of the footage we shot in Switzerland.
We spent a pleasant fall day hiking up the side of a mountain to "Die Tauferhohle" not far from Zürich. The lush, peaceful cave belies it's history as a hideout for outlawed Christians in 1525.
In that year, the first Anabaptist group was formed in Zürich by Felix Manz and two other reformers. They considered the baptism of infants as practiced by the Catholic Church and the early reformers to be unbiblical. They had themselves re-baptized and their opponents began calling them "Anabaptists."
Manz associated with and was influenced by the reformer Ulrich Zwingli. But Manz was advocating a more literal reading of the Bible, and a more radical break with the Church than Zwingli could support. The Zürich city council sided with Zwingli and prohibited re-baptism. That made Manz and his followers outlaws. They hid from authorities in Die Tauferhohle and other places. But Manz was eventually caught and, on January 5, 1527, he was punished by drowning in the Limmat River. He died singing.
Makes me grateful to live in a country where freedom of religion is guaranteed. And it leads me to think about those martyrs who gave their lives for what they believed.
Which of my religious beliefs would I be willing to die for?
Makes me think.

Spring 2020 classes have resumed online.Please visit
dcccd.edu/coronavirus for additional information and to
learn how to prepare for online classes.
This article appeared in the May 15, 2018, issue of the student newsletter.
Thursday, May 17, is Global Accessibility Awareness Day. To help raise awareness about online accessibility, the DCCCD Accessibility Task Force is encouraging students and employees to take the #NoMouse Challenge.
What is it?
The #NoMouse Challenge is a global effort to raise awareness about accessible web design. Just follow these three simple steps:
If you or your organization has a website, try using it without a mouse. Use the keyboard instead. If you don't have a website, try a few of your favorite websites without a mouse, just using the keyboard. See below for tips for using the keyboard to access web pages.
As you do this, ask the following questions:
If you're a person who designs or develops websites, creates videos or produces digital documents, always consider whether the content you're producing is accessible to everyone. Try to learn and apply new skills that will help you to produce more accessible content.
Use the #NoMouse hashtag wherever hashtags are supported.

Alcohol Ether And Chloroform
Alcohol, ether, and chloroform, induce general anæsthesia, often
preceded by delirious excitement, and followed by nausea and vomiting.
When they cause death, it is by inducing a state like apoplexy or by
paralyzing the heart.
=Alcohol.=--Absolute alcohol is ethyl hydroxide (C{2}H{5}OH) with not
more than 1 per cent. by weight of water. Rectified spirit (spiritus
rectificatus) contains 90 per cent. of alcohol. Methylated spirit
consists of rectified spirit with 10 per cent. of wood spirit. Proof
spirit contains a little over 49 per cent. of absolute alcohol; brandy
or whisky, 53 per cent.; port wine, 20 to 25 per cent.; ales and stout,
4 to 6 per cent.
Symptoms.--Acute poisoning; confusion, giddiness, staggering gait,
headache, passing into stupor, with subnormal temperature, and coma.
Vomiting may occur and recovery ensue, otherwise collapse sets in.
Pupils usually dilated.
Dipsomaniacs suffer from indigestion, vomiting and purging, jaundice,
albuminuria, diabetes, cirrhosis of liver, degeneration of kidneys,
congestion of brain, peripheral neuritis, alcoholic insanity, and
various forms of paralysis. In the acute form delirium tremens is the
most common manifestation.
Post-Mortem Appearances.--Deep red colour of lining membranes of
stomach. Sometimes congestion of cerebral vessels and meninges. Lungs
congested, blood fluid. Rigor mortis persistent.
Fatal Dose.--Death from 1/2 pint of gin and from two bottles of port,
but recovery from larger quantities.
Fatal Period.--Average about twenty-four hours.
Treatment.--Stomach-tube, cold affusion, electricity, injection of a
pint of hot coffee into the rectum. Give chloride of ammonium in 30
grain doses to prevent delirium; strychnine or digitalin
Method of Extraction from the Stomach.--Neutralize the contents of the
stomach, if acid, with sodium carbonate; place them in a retort and
carefully distil. Collect the distillate, mix with chloride of calcium
or anhydrous sulphate of copper, and again distil. Agitate distillate
with dry potassium carbonate, and draw off some of the supernatant fluid
for testing.
Tests.--Odour. Dissolves camphor. With dilute sulphuric acid and
bichromate of potassium turns green, and evolves aldehyde. Product of
combustion makes lime-water white and turbid.
=Methyl Alcohol: Wood Naphtha.=--Used to produce intoxication by
painters, furniture-polishers, etc.
Symptoms are those of alcoholic poisoning, but vomiting and delirium
are more persistent. Total or partial blindness may follow as a sequel
of optic atrophy. A fatal result not infrequently follows.
The following table gives the points of distinction between concussion
of brain, alcoholic poisoning, and opium poisoning:

5. No odour of alcohol 5. Odour of alcohol 5. Odour of opium in

=Ether= is a volatile liquid prepared from ethylic alcohol by
interaction with sulphuric acid. It contains 92 per cent. of ethyl oxide
(C{2}H{5})O. It was formerly called 'sulphuric ether.' It is a
colourless, inflammable liquid, having a strong and characteristic
odour, specific gravity 0.735. =Purified ether= from which the ethylic
alcohol has been removed by washing with distilled water, and most of
the water by subsequent distillation in the presence of calcium chloride
and lime. It is this preparation which is used for the production of
general anæsthesia. It has a specific gravity of 0.722 to 0.720, and its
vapour is very inflammable.
Symptoms.--When taken as a liquid, same as alcohol. When inhaled as
vapour, causes slow, prolonged, and stertorous breathing; face becomes
pale, lips bluish, surface of body cold. Pulse first quickens, then
slows. Pupils dilated, eyes glassy and fixed, muscles become flabby and
relaxed, profound anæsthesia. Then pulse sinks and coma ensues,
sensation being entirely suspended. Nausea and vomiting not uncommon.
Post-Mortem Appearances.--Brain and lungs congested. Cavities of heart
full of dark, liquid blood. Vessels at upper part of spinal cord
Treatment.--Exposure to pure air, cold affusion, artificial
respiration, galvanism.
Method of Extraction from the Contents of the Stomach.--Same as for
alcohol. During distillation pass some of the vapour into concentrated
solution of bichromate of potash, nitric and sulphuric acids, and note
reaction as for alcohol.
Tests.--Vapour burns with smoky flame, depositing carbon. Sparingly
soluble in water. With bichromate of potash and sulphuric acid same as
=Chloroform.=--A colourless liquid, specific gravity 1.490 to 1.495,
very volatile, giving off dense vapour. Sweet taste and pleasant odour.
Symptoms.--When swallowed, characteristic smell in breath, anxious
countenance, burning pain in the throat, stomach, and region of the
abdomen, staggering gait, coldness of the extremities, vomiting,
insensibility, deepening into coma, with stertorous breathing, dilated
pupils, and imperceptible pulse. When inhaled, much the same as ether,
but produces insensibility and muscular relaxation more rapidly. It
would be impossible to instantly render a person insensible by holding a
pocket-handkerchief saturated with chloroform over the face. Statements
such as this, which are often made in cases of robbery from the person
and in cases of rape, are incredible.
Delayed Chloroform-Poisoning.--Death may take place in from four to
seven days after chloroform has been administered, especially in the
case of children. The internal organs are found to be fattily
degenerated, and death is thought to be due to acetonuria.
Post-Mortem Appearances.--Cerebral and pulmonary congestion. Heart
empty, or right side distended with dark blood.
Treatment.--Stomach-tube and free lavage; cold affusion; drawing
forward tongue; artificial respiration; galvanism and suspension with
head downward. Inhalation of nitrite of amyl; strychnine hypodermically.
Fatal Dose.--When swallowed, from 1 to 2 ounces.
Method of Extraction from the Stomach.--By distillation at 120° F. The
vapour, as it passes along a glass tube, may be decomposed by heat into
chlorine, hydrochloric acid, and carbon--the first shown by setting free
iodine in iodide of starch, the second by reddening blue litmus-paper,
and the last by its deposit.
Tests.--Taste, colour, weight; burns with a green flame; dissolves
camphor, guttapercha, and caoutchouc.
=Iodoform.=--Poisoning may result from its use in surgery. It produces
delirium, sleepiness, and coma. It may lead to mental weakness or optic

That CH coat is really nice. Love the knit top. Very classic. Casual Kate at it's very best.ReplyDelete

Nice! I also love to see how spontaneous and genuine they interact with the people and children. I adore them!ReplyDelete

I like how Catherine wore this coat for a more formal occasion in Canada, then paired it for a more casual look today. It is a beautiful coat. It is also great to see these boots again, so stylish. I think she looked great today through her wardrobe changes, well planned.ReplyDelete
There are some great videos of William and Catherine with the children there, playing football and competing in a canoe race. It is great to see them in these situations.
So glad that she is wearing this delicious coat once again, the tailoring is exquisite, and the booties give it that younger vibe that is so flattering for her.ReplyDelete

Very nice coat dress and great color.The stockings or leggings are a little bunched up not a good look.But one can ignore it, her smile and play with the children is great.ReplyDelete
She looks really nice, she's glowing!ReplyDelete
I just adore them. They are so at ease in both formal and casual settings. Kate has styled herself beautifly in her red coat, with a hint of black sleeve popping out. She is equally pretty on the field with the children, and enjoying the other activities. A great day all around.ReplyDelete

Kate is at the top of her game as we say in the corporate world.Kate is a role model for young women;she is an all rounder,in sport ,motherhood,and just getting in there;her style is simple elegance. Princess Diana had that style know how and Kate has come into that.ReplyDelete
It's great to see the Cambridges out and about on a visit like this. They are so lovely together; their interaction is so relaxed and natural. They genuinely look like they are enjoying themselves. Love the coat--it's red so what's not to love?---the sweater. Great photos.ReplyDelete
That red coat is quite lovely!!! I'd love to but it for myself.:)ReplyDelete
This couple is very much in tune, especially since their third baby has been born. Anyone agrees?
I like that she wore the coat with pants this time and the boots. I love it when she and William compete in sports.ReplyDelete

They are doing ok in their roles, but I hardly see any relaxed and natural behavior.ReplyDelete

Raise your hand if you take pictures of your meals and post them to social media.
Now raise your hand if you do that and know how to monetize it.
That's just why Danielle Heath, Class of 2019, is pursuing a Master's in Business Administration degree. She's a food blogger on Instagram—her feed BostonBehavior has 7,600-plus followers and counting. She's getting her MBA so she can be as good at business as she is at blogging.
"The value of being in the MBA program for me is that I'm learning how to run my own business and elevate what started as a hobby into something that I can do full time," says Heath. "Running an Instagram site presents interesting business challenges."
Along with studying balance sheets and expense reports, she's also learning crucial business tools like how to be a better negotiator. That's especially important as she tries to monetize BostonBehavior. She can't make money by selling advertising on her site (social channels don't have that functionality) or from subscribers (it costs nothing to follow BostonBehavior on Instagram). So she has to find other ways to get something from a restaurant in exchange for eyeballs.
"One thing that's been helpful at Suffolk is figuring out how much I can charge based on my following," says Heath. "Or how much I can charge to run a contest or take pictures a restaurant can use on its own social media streams. Having that skill definitely complements my business model."
Not a hobby
She may have started out as a weekend gourmet snapping photos of her yummy dinners. But BostonBehavior has evolved into a potential revenue stream. Which means Heath has to approach each restaurant she wants to visit as a one-time business partner. She'll reach out to the manager, explain what she wants to do, and, most importantly, demonstrate how it's good for the eatery—with the data to back it up.
"Bigger food bloggers might have 100,000 followers," said Heath. "But that doesn't matter if the people aren't in Boston. About 90 percent of my followers are local to the Boston area, and most are my age. So I can deliver a really targeted and high-value group to a restaurant that I put on my feed."
All the kitchen has to do is bring out some signature dishes for Heath to photograph on her iPhone. She handles the rest: the shoot, the food styling, the editing. It's hard work. She ends up rearranging furniture, standing on chairs, staging the food in multiple ways, taking dozens and dozens of shots, then going through an exhaustive selection process to get "the one image" that she likes.
All the while she's thinking about her thousands of followers, the number of "likes" she wants to get, as well as the promise of multiple reposts of and comments about her mouthwatering imagery. It can be a lot of visibility for a pretty minimal investment on a restaurant's part.
The fringe benefit? Once she's taken all her shots, she gets to sample the fare—although it's often long after the meal's been served.
"Yeah, I eat cold food a lot," Heath says with a laugh as she bites into a slice of much-photographed pizza.
Heath recently parlayed her Instagram experience into a full-time job at Metter Media, a social media management company whose clients include several restaurants.

This is a Cooper's Canadian Blonde brew can, nothing special, 18 days in the FV @ about 24deg before bottling. I did notice that the beer is a little darker after it was bottled, than from what it was in the FV as seen in the hydrometer. Is this normal or should the beer be lighter in colour?

My son had (he still has, but he moved to England) a lovely friend who had visited Legoloand in England on a trip home. For a young boy who could barely breathe without thinking about Lego, creating Lego or making purchasing decisions, the idea of Legoland was like saying 'let's go visit Santa's toyshop. Whilst I madly want to go to Alaska, all he wanted was to go to Legoland.
Fundamentally I want my children to have a magical childhood full of imaginative play. The closest Legoland to Australia is Malaysia. Planning my trip I offered to go to Disney Land in nearby Hong Kong as well but he wasn't the slightest bit interested. Sorry Disney!
Legoland Malaysia is only 55 minutes from Changi Airport. Bus tours do operate from Singapore city but they have early collection times (7.30am). You may find you require 48 hours booking notice to get on the bus.
We caught the train (MRT) and then a bus through the boarder at Johor and a taxi from there. (approximately 40RM) This transition was all very simple but I would remind you that if you purchase lots of Lego the only way through the checkpoints is by carrying your bags and as such you may want to limit what you purchase. Getting a taxi both from the checkpoint and to Legoland was easy. The MRT back to our hotel easy. Remember your passport inclusive of any slips of paper within.
We bought tickets to both the Water park and to Legoland itself. The rides at Legoland itself are not scarey (trust me I'm a total 'don't-do-rides' so they need to be tame for me.) The waterpark has a racing slide that goes through tunnels – ahhhh no thanks! Why do you need to race through a dark tunnel on a water slide? That was clearly the most exhilarating by far and even with my dislike of dark tunnels we had about 4-5 turns on this ride.
There are lockers at the front enterance and in the water park. Obviously, it makes sense to use the waterpark lockers if you're getting changed. There are many choices for eating, but plan ahead, it's unlikely you'll get wet, get dressed and then want to get wet again!
I would allow a half day in each park. There is the Legoland hotel so if you wanted to take more time you could always stay the night. I would allow at least an hour in the shops, that is assuming you're allowing purchases. My son had his $300 and was going to spend it there. Every last cent. Spend it he did which is why I mention you may want to be mindful of this as you need to carry it through the checkpoint. There are often very heavy afternoon thunderstorms in Johor so you may need to be mindful of this as you plan your day. There is a photo below of us drenched as we ran from the entrance to the taxi rank.
It's a cruisey place. There were not huge crowds despite a Halloween party on the evening of our visit. And it's an easy walk around the park. There weren't any queues in the Waterpark but some rides for were 3 so we missed them. There are masses of staff to help. The waterpark is aimed at smaller children for the most part. Older children may want to spend their time checking out all the buildings/exhibits made of Lego. We spent the vast amount of our time in the Star Wars exhibition.
Would I go back? To Legoland yes, but Legoland Malaysia has been done for me unless of course we find ourselves in Singapore with a few days up our sleeve.

The San Jose Earthquakes have added a third Designated Player by signing 25-year-old Swiss striker Innocent Emeghara.
Emeghara has enjoyed time playing in Switzerland, France, Italy and most recently Azerbaijan and joins the Earthquakes as only their fourth ever DP.
Here are five things you should know about Innocent Emeghara:
1) Emeghara is a pacey and versatile forward who can play on either wing or as the main striker
The new San Jose man is blessed with pace and his speed means he is a huge threat in the final third. Emeghara can play on the left or right hand side but he is most effective as the main striker. He is not the biggest of forwards but he is agile and could form a lethal partnership with Chris Wondolowski this season.Embed from Getty Images
2) He has made nine appearances with the Switzerland National Team
Despite being born in Nigeria, Emeghara opted to represent Switzerland at international level and he made his debut against England in a Euro 2012 qualifier in June 2011. He has gone on to make nine appearances but has yet to score a goal for the national team. His last appearance came in March 2013 when he made just his second start in a World Cup qualifier against Cyprus. He did score five goals in eight appearances at Under-21 level.
3) He most recently played in Azerbaijan where he impressed before going on trial with Hamburg
After leaving Italian club AC Siena last summer as a result of the club going into liquidation, Emeghara moved to Azerbaijan to play for FK Qarabag, where he scored five times in eight appearances. However, he left the club on January 5 and then flew out to Dubai for a trial with German club HSV Hamburg where he played against Manchester City in a friendly. That didn't earn him a contract with the Bundesliga side and he will now look forward to playing in MLS with the San Jose Earthquakes.Embed from Getty Images
4) Emeghara averages a goal or assist every 2.2 games through his career
The 25-year-old forward has scored 75 goals and picked up 23 assists in 212 appearances for the seven clubs he's played for to this point. That means that Emeghara contributes to a goal every 2.2 games on average. He will look to hit the ground running when he joins up with his new San Jose teammates.
5) Expect a fast start to life in MLS, quite literally.
Emeghara likes to make an impact when he moves to a new club. He has scored on his debut for three different clubs in his career, while he netted four in three after his debut with Siena and scored a brace in his second game for Qarabag. San Jose will hope that trend continues when they open the 2015 season against FC Dallas.
Is Innocent Emeghara a good signing for the San Jose Earthquakes?

The best planting combos are almost always accidents and don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise: those happy self-seeders that make it all look so effortless or the plant you forgot that makes a stunning pairing.
Thus one of the most pleasing corners in my garden has bronze fennel, the neon-pink of Gladiolus communis subsp. byzantinus, flowering sprouts (a cross between a brussels sprout and kale) and tree spinach, Chenopodium giganteum 'Magenta Spreen'. I had very little hand in the tree spinach, other than I wafted past the very ripe seedheads last autumn and some seed fell off. This year I have a truly winning combination.
The flowering sprouts have a blue-green leaf and a dusky purple midrib and veins. The tree spinach is a brilliant bright green with each new set of leaves blushed a shocking magenta. Eventually the tree spinach will reach 1m or more, but right now it is a crowded understorey around the flowering sprouts, with gladioli waving about above.
The tree spinach, as its name suggests, is a spinach substitute. It is fantastic melted in butter and keeps its magenta when cooked. It can also be eaten very young raw in salads. Once it's tall, it does become a lot coarser.
It's a pretty hip plant this year. It was at Chelsea in the British Heart Foundation's garden, designed by Ann-Marie Powell, and is selling out fast wherever it appears.
You can sow it either as seed (which there is still time to do now) or buy a young plant and let it do the job for you. One word of warning: it will reappear everywhere. It is not exactly a thug, but if you're not prepared to eat it, that's an awful lot of weeding. If you sow it as seed, consider sowing it in modules or seed trays and planting it out as this will give you more control as to where to grow it. If you want full-height plants, it needs to go at the back of the border. I planted mine this way and harvested very little, allowing it to set seed, and then I uprooted the plant and shook it wherever I thought it might look nice next year. You can pinch out the growing tip for a bushier plant.
It is unfussy: it prefers sun, but appears in shady corners (with less of a magenta bloom). It doesn't mind dry, infertile conditions, but give it fertile, moist soil and it will go like the clappers. Like all fat hens (it's a relative of that weed), it can accumulate too much nitrogen, which is not good for you to eat too much of, so it is wise not to grow it on recently manured soils and don't feed it manufactured plant food.

Man who fired on FBI agents gets 15 years
Frank Perez Jr. was arrested on Center Avenue in Verona
A fugitive wanted in a slaying more than a decade ago in Indiana has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for firing shots at FBI agents during a standoff near Pittsburgh last fall, after a federal judge rejected pleas for leniency because of the man's violent upbringing in a gang-plagued neighborhood near Chicago.
Frank Perez Jr., 31, was living in Verona, using the name Troy Will East when agents served a warrant for his arrest in the July 13, 1999, murder in northwestern Indiana.
Rather than surrender on Oct. 4, Perez fired at least 20 shots at agents -- including an FBI SWAT team -- who surrounded the apartment where he lived with his fiancee, their then 7-month-old son, and his fiancee's 12-year-old daughter. The FBI had called the fiancee, Rickiesha Edwards, away from the home minutes earlier and urged her to return only to grab her baby -- her daughter was in school that afternoon -- before the FBI fired two dozen tear gas rounds but no gunshots into the apartment.
Edwards did that, and nobody was injured before Perez surrendered a couple of hours later, but not before barricading himself in the house and firing at agents using two pistols and a 12-gauge shotgun. Perez pleaded guilty in March to assaulting federal agents with a dangerous weapon and using a firearm during a crime of violence after his attorney acknowledged the evidence was "incontrovertible."
Perez, his mother, and Edwards asked U.S. District Judge Nora Barry Fischer to be lenient, though the judge's hands were tied somewhat by the mandatory minimum 10-year sentence he faced for the firearms charge. Still, defense attorney Scott Westcott was hoping the judge would consider Perez's troubled background and add less than the additional five years Fischer eventually imposed for the federal assault charge.
Edwards vouched for Perez as a doting father, and said she plans to marry him if and when he's released from prison. But her credibility took a hit when she acknowledged under cross-examination by Assistant U.S. Attorney Troy Rivetti that she didn't learn Perez's true name until after his October arrest and never met his family -- with whom she presented a united front in court Tuesday -- until December or January, despite having a child by Perez in March 2011.
Still, Perez's mother sought to explain his behavior by noting he saw his first dead body at age 8, when someone was slain behind their house in East Chicago, Ind., and later fell in with the wrong crowd -- including his stepfather -- who was involved in "the streets" that included drugs, violence and prostitution. Prosecutors also contend Perez was a gang member, though his mother, Margaret Velazquez, insisted her son wasn't in the gang, but had friends who were.
"Did he do a terrible thing back in October 2011, yes he did," Westcott said, before asking for a lower sentence.
Rivetti argued that a stiff sentence was necessary to "incapacitate" Perez and send the message to others who might consider firing shots at federal agents.
"Your honor, the seriousness of this crime can't be overstated," Rivetti said, adding that the shootings were in "utter defiance of law enforcement."

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Tenshi ni Narumon! | I'm Gonna Be An Angel!
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Raphael/Mikael
Characters: Raphael, Mikael
Additional Tags: Wingfic, Community: yaoi_challenge
Life as an angel was very different and yet also mostly the same.
Today was not one of those days. Today he was flying, or at least trying to. He'd gotten the basics down, enough at least to get from point A to point B with some measure of safety but he still needed to work on the rest. The finer points of grace and elegance were eluding him, but he was getting better. He had a ways to go before he was as good as Raphael, who flew like he was dancing on air, so confident in his movements that it made Mikael ache with envy, among other emotions. But, Raphael had had years of practice, whereas Mikael only had a few weeks.
He'd been an angel for a grand total of sixty-two days and still kept count, marking off each day when he thought Raphael wasn't looking because after wanting it so long, part of him was constantly afraid that someone, somewhere was going to take everything away from him.
A sudden gust of wind hit him hard against the wing and he spun in the air, surprised enough that his wings stopped moving for a brief moment and then he was falling.
He didn't go far. A hand caught him by his elbow, stopping his descent. He looked up and was only slightly surprised to find Raphael grinning over at him.

You all have the idea now, right?!?
We are giving you a sneak peak, and a chance to pre-order, some of our wonderfully festive treasures that we will have in the store (and will be shipping all over the world!) come Christmastime!
The end of February is almost upon us, which I cannot believe (I am still getting the hang of writing 2016 as a date!) and so we thought that this week's pre-order early release needed to be something that reflected the year we are in! I am loving 2016, it is a good year!
So here we have it, 'Wrappin' Up 2016', a really jolly Santa, dated to reflect this fantastic year, and poised to give all us 'good kids' that perfect gift. I think he is simply magical!
As with every week, 'Wrappin' Up 2016' is a pre-order, so when ordered, he will be dispatched to you later in the year, when we receive him from the Christopher Radko Studio.
(Wrappin' Up 2016 by Christopher Radko, an adorable dated Santa ready for gifting! I adore him!)

Twenty six point two miles. 26.2. Twenty six, point two. Miles. The distance of a marathon. Long. Far. The New York City Marathon happened today, and my friend Chris ran in it, and collected her medal and space blanket about five hours later. To say I am impressed would be an understatement.

People do things like running marathons to prove something to themselves. Interestingly though, Chris' efforts today had a collateral effect; I discovered that I don't know shit.

I used to run competitively in high school, and even then, the concept of running a marathon never, ever, entered my mind. Too far, too long. Back in the seventies, my Uncle Bob used to be quite the marathoner, and was even the first American finisher in his age group (40-49) in the New York Marathon one year. We used to go into the city to watch him finish, and cheer him on, like so many other New Yorkers do when their friends and family run in this event. We'd go early, and get a good spot along the last mile or so. What I remember from those days is the runners trickling in, in ones and twos. We were watching the leaders, the elite. Uncle Bob would trot past, we'd go ballistic, and then go to find him and his shiny space blanket, and that was it. To me, a marathon was a race against the clock and against the competition. I never thought of it as anything else.

Today I realized that of the thirty thousand entrants in this event, only a fraction are in a true race. Today, standing on the sidewalk along Marcus Garvey Park just past the 22 mile marker, I realized that I was watching thousands of dreams being realized, right before my eyes. I'm telling you, I got choked up. Several times.

Brenda, Patty and I took the 4 train to 125th street and headed west. A couple blocks later, we arrived at the bank of a flowing human river—the midfield of the New York City Marathon. No ones and twos here. Curb to curb was filled with people of all shapes and sizes, nationalities, sexualities and personalities. We selected this spot to wait and watch for our friend Chris, and we even had a pre-computed time window, where we should expect to see her zip by. We settled in on a choice piece of curb along west 120th Street, on the south side of Marcus Garvey Park  and watched for her. Meanwhile, dreams were being realized, in realtime, right in front of my face. Ten at a time.

There were people wearing kilts, wearing flowers, talking on cell phones (yes, actual race entrants were on the goddammned phone). There were guys in drag. One guy was dressed as Elvis, and chants of "Go Elvis!" were heard up and down the block. There were people carrying flags, of many nations. There was NYFD heraldry. A shirt said "for dad". Many of them had their names scrawled on their shirts or on their legs, in large letters. They seemed to say "Hi, my name is Jeff, and for the love of God, will you please move your lazy asses to clap and cheer for me, for I am seriously fucking tired right now". We clapped. Brenda was busy giving stats, like how there were only four miles to go, and looking at it another way, they had completed over 80% of the race. She was shouting these stats to the runners, bless her heart.

These people were here to prove something: to themselves, to a fallen comrade, a parent, a child, whatever. Each person had a story, and they were zipping past me ten at a time. I felt small. I was so happy for all of these people. It was truly awesome. I should mention that at this point, with 22 miles under their belts, the effort was beginning to show. I was dizzy trying to take it all in and yet not get distracted by one particular character too much, for fear of missing my friend Chris.

"THERE SHE IS!! (ooh, where, where?) ... just kidding." Yeah, I did that; I'm an asshole. What can I say.

Eventually—and within the pre-computed time window, I might add—Chris did appear, her twin pigtails bobbing and waving, and we all went nutso. She stopped to walk a bit, and we walked along with her, excitedly chatting her up. She was tired, you could tell. But at the end of the block, she would hit Fifth Avenue, and then a right turn and it was south to 59th Street; the home stretch. Nothing would stop her now.

After she trotted off, we three walked down to the finish area to find Chris. I realized that the thousands of people streaming past us as we walked to the park were people that Chris BEAT, but I'm supposed to say that's not the point. We met up with a few of our other friends who were scattered around at strategic points along the course today, and waited. Eventually, Chris showed up. Cheers all around. Group hugs. Photos. And then, to begin the journey home, the chariot of champions: the 2 train. Chris wanted to go home, and who could blame her.

If you want a replay of my friend Chris' day, go to:

... and enter "Frietchen" in the name field. You will see her—represented as a dot—run through the five boroughs. A very cool Java application. You can even pit her against winners, or one of the many people who had their asses handed to them by Chris Frietchen. But that's not the point.

Getting off at Times Square where we all had various train changes to make, Chris, well, she passed out ever so briefly. I guess the adrenalin had run its course. Ten tense seconds passed, while chocolate was shoved in my face by a Frenchman. "Here, geev her some chock-oh-laht". But, after a banana and some water she was good as new, and a phone call to her later at home confirmed that all was well. She was awaiting a celebratory order-in dinner with Gary, and was chatting away.

Like I said, I don't know shit. But now I know a little more. I still don't think I could or would do what Chris did, but now I understand why so many people do it each year.

Congratulations Chris, you did it!

Two Activation Lock Vulnerabilities Surface in iOS
Of the most important features built into iOS, the Activation Lock is one which users seldom directly encounter but which benefits everyone. In short, the Activation Lock is a setting which allows you to link your iCloud username and password to the device hardware. This login info is thereafter needed for tasks such as signing out of your iCloud account or disabling Find My iPhone. It even turns off the ability to erase your data without supplying login details. The Activation Lock is an anti-theft measure, and quite an effective one, too. However, researchers recently discovered several bugs which can allow someone to bypass the lock.
First is an exploit engineered by an Indian security researcher. This exploit attacks an overflow vulnerability present during the process of setting up a new iOS device. When the locked device prompts for login information for a Wi-Fi network, the user simply needs to enter thousands of random characters in both the SSID and WPA2 password fields. This method causes the system to lock up. Usually, one would just press the home button to exit the screen and restart the process. With the correct and highly precise timing, however, the attacker can gain access to the unlocked home screen. This exploit only affects users of iOS 10.1. If you're still using it, it's time to upgrade.
However, the second exploit, though very similar, is slightly different — and remains unpatched in the current version of iOS, version 10.2. While pressing the home button no longer works, researchers discovered that rotating the device while executing the exploit would give them a window of opportunity. Pressing the home button at just the right moment while rotating the device still results in the user being granted access to the basic home screen.
As attacks go, this one is relatively minor and unlikely to see widespread use. Apple will likely issue a patch for this problem soon. Nonetheless, iPhone and iPad owners should be careful to avoid leaving their devices any place where it could be stolen. While the Activation Lock is a robust solution to the problem of device theft, it's best to avoid the problem altogether. Keep an eye out for a forthcoming iOS update and any word on whether this particular bug has finally been stomped out for good.
