At Christmas and birthdays I receive these cool rectangular parcels, all filled with books. Then, throughout the year, I receive more cool rectangular parcels through the post, all filled with books. Then I line my bookshelves and stand half-toppling towers at their side. Then my husband asks, "Why do you want more books?"
I won a book on facebook recently and told the author I was really looking forward to reading it - I am - but it might be next summer before I can post a review. I do post reviews of books I read "just for me," but that's beside the point. The author replied that her review-list stretched into next year too. When I asked why we do this to ourselves she wrote, "because we're addicted." Indeed we are. Still, there are worse addictions. And here are some more book reviews to feed your inner addict. Grab and coffee and enjoy!
That coffee will go really well with this one. In fact, you could leave the book on the coffee table for your guests to enjoy as well. The Dog Stays in the Picture, by Susan Morse, contains some fun family photos, cool vignettes of family life, and lots of treasures for anyone who's ever been a wife, mother, daughter, or lover of dogs. Yes. There's a dog. So drink some lively, easy-drinking two-star coffee and meet the wife of actor David Morse!
Stolen Dreams, by Christine Amsden, completes an enjoyable series of paranormal romantic mysteries. In a sort-of grown-up inverse Harry Potter style, the (female) protagonist is the only non-magical member of a community of magicians. Once deeply in love with the most magical member in all the community, she's been lured away by promises of power, hope and normality. But now she's back, fleeing her latest romance, and finding the fate of family, community, and even maybe the world, could lie in her hands. It's a great ending to an enjoyable series. Deeper and darker than previous novels, it ties up all the loose threads and offers some cool, and wise, surprises. Enjoy with an elegant complex four-star coffee.
Murder Once Removed, by Roz Russel, plays out its mystery and romance on a grittier stage, pitting reporters, detectives and artists against a murderer who seems determine to strike again. Some pages turn fast; some dwell slowly on inner thoughts and meanings. But the blend of art and murder is coolly intriguing. Enjoy with a bold, dark, intense cup of five-star coffee.
John Holt's third Kendall mystery, Epidemic,takes its protagonist on a hunt for a murderer, while the world declares the event was just an accident. Meanwhile a raging epidemic is considered an accident too, and intent is hard to prove. Enjoy with a bold dark intense cup of five star coffee.

According to new research from NPD Online Research, 36% of females who go online retrieve sports news on the Internet, and 46% of females polled said they retrieve more sports news via the Internet than they did six months ago. The survey, based on online polling of more than 3,000 respondents, found that while 23% of females still view TV as their primary source of sports news, 20% said they go to the Web first for sports news.

We all know that for educators professional development is important; however, the truth is that many times we get a one-size-fits-all approach to PD that just doesn't work for everyone. Today we had a group of teachers meet and discuss the importance of building their individual PLN – Personal Learning Network. This way, teachers can be in charge of what they get so it works for them.
Here's what some of them had to say about PLNs …
"PLNs are a "must have" for teachers … sharing ideas for class projects with lessons accessible through technology. Technology is our future, now."
"PLNs – The opportunity to set my own agenda for what is relevant, useful, and important to me. Also, to steal every good idea I come across and to share the few I periodically have."
"I'm always looking for new ideas or a better way. Personally, I'm not very creative, but I can mix and match from other teacher's ideas and create something that suits my needs. There is so much out there as far as technology, and I do not have the time to sample everything but PLNs will be the time saver. We can all be of benefit to others."
"My PLN will be beneficial to me. We are living in a time where "time" matters. Kids want things to be automatic – and so do I. The more information I can have in one click, the better off I am. This can help me learn new ways to learn as well as teach what I learn."
Taking charge of our individual professional development is the way to go. In this day and age, we have access 24/7 to all sorts of information and things we we can learn. And when we learn, it benefits the students. That's what it's all about.

New Year, New Art
Resolution time! Only I've always sucked at them, so I'm not even starting. What I'm doing instead is expanding my journal, and playing with the digital scrapbooking supplies I've got stashed away.
To help, I've signed up for a couple of weekly art journal prompts, which I'll probably only do a few of before flitting off to something else. That's how I roll, and I've given up feeling bad about it.
In the meantime, the first prompt from Journal52 arrived in my inbox this morning: your word for the year. Generally I draw a complete blank, but I had actually been mulling that over for a few days. At any rate, this is what I've come up with:
- The main heading is in Veteran typewriter, designed by Magique Fonts
- The handwritten bits are in Biloxi Script, which is designed by Roland Huse
Embellishments include pieces from various kits:
- Prompt tag is by Tempus Fugit, whose website has been locked down, so unfortunately this is a shout-out rather than a referral
- Brushes include Typographic Grunge Brushes by Scully7491, which might just be my new favourite brush set
- Splatter was created with a brush set designed by C130
I'm determined not to put any pressure on myself to stick with this challenge, so there may only be this one spread put together, but I had fun doing it.

There are certain people out there who have an opinion as to what can be done to help the United States and her economy. Ted Bauman is one of those people. He believes that debt is something that is affecting everyone in the United States, and he believes that it is an issue that must be addressed. This man believes that debt could be a bigger deal than taxes when it comes to the money that people have access to in the United States and all that they are able to do with that money.
According to stocktwits.com Ted Bauman has called debt an "invisible threat" to the wealth of individuals. He believes that clearing away some of the debt that people have is more important when it comes to the economy than lowering the taxes that individuals have to pay.

Broken Banners
Nystul is a powerful mage and leader in the Tehn resistance
Nystul appears to be a very tall and ill groomed man in his early 50's. He also often appears to be a 1/2 Elven adventurer in his 30's . He dresses in fine but often unkempt robes or breeches and coat. Nystul is a serious driven individual. He doesn't smile often and always gets strait to the point in a conversation. He is used to giving orders and often seems to talk over people expecting his word to be final.
When relaxed Nystul can seem downright flippant about most topics except his native Tehn. He is often viewed as Smug or sarcastic even among friends. He is gangly in is natural form,a thin extremely tall man that is often described as, "a ridiculous beanpole of elbows and knees," by those who don't favor him. (and only behind his back.)
He has an Olive complexion and wears a surprisingly well trimmed beard in his natural form but is clean shaven in his 1/2 elven form. Nystul is often seen carrying a staff with glowing runes of power.
Nystul is a powerful mage and a member of the renown Circle of Eight. He seems to be a leader in the efforts of Tehn patriots to reclaim their homeland. He is some how allied with house Dylerold of the Theocracy of Pale. For a time he masqueraded as the sage Lantys so as not to draw too much attention between himself and house Dylerold. As a former member of the Tehn nobility Nystul is obsessed with recapturing his homeland and the defeat of Iuz.

A beautiful evening at Sassafras Springs Vineyard greeted attendees of A Vintage Affair for MS on Friday, March 31, 2017. The sold out event was co-chaired by Dr. Vanessa Hardin Branch and Dr. Drake Branch and honored Dr. Michael Morse. The event hosted 163 guests, and raised upwards of $53,000 in donations that night, which will provide funds for MS research projects worldwide, educational programs and services for those living with MS and their families, financial assistance, and scholarships for those living with MS and their children.
A live auction and a jewelry pull, on a large deck overlooking a beautiful vista at sunset, kicked off the evening. Guests enjoyed live music, a photo booth, a wine flight from Sassafras, dinner by KFB events, jewelry pull by Kendra Scott, and multiple silent and live auction items from local donors around Northwest Arkansas.
Dr. Drake Branch welcomed attendees and Dr. Vanessa Branch thanked the volunteers and MS Society staff before presenting a video that provided hope and inspiration. Teri Naylor, an MS survivor, honored her late husband in her featured speech, The Heart of a Caregiver.
Channing Barker presented Dr. Morse with the 2017 MS Hope Award for his 30 years of serving patients with Multiple Sclerosis. Channing shared quotes from the staff at Neurological Associates, including one from Donna Tomlinson: "Dr. Morse escorts each [patient] to the checkout."
In his acceptance speech, Dr. Morse talked about the history of diagnosing and treating MS and the improvements that had been made since the 1970s. Dr. Morse ended his speech by thanking his patients for trusting him with their care, "To my patients who are here tonight, I want to thank you for allowing me to take care of you."

I am truly blessed that God has given me this night to write you something for our first monthsary together, together as a couple, willed by God. Limited man ang ways to express lahat ng love na gusto kong mafeel mo for this day, I know you are just a prayer away from me… But because I asked, I know it will be given to me. I pray by now, as you start reading this post, that you will be blessed to feel my embraces and kisses magkaiba man tayo ng time and gano man tayo kalayo sa isa't isa. My love will surely reach you.
It has been almost a year na nakilala kita and who could tell me na after a year we would be celebrating this day being one in heart. Hahaha, medyo nakakatawa din kung irereminsce ko pa yung times naten when we're just starting building the friendship. It was bitter-sweet, tearful-happy kinda times. hahaha! Never perfect, never completely blissful.. but God truly had a purpose sa lahat ng nangyari and I just thank Him big time dahil He let me wait and reap the love na tinanim ko noon for you. Absolutely, a sweet fruit of love.
Pero I can't say that I have been perfect, na ako lang ang nag-sow sa lahat. Nyikes ang dami ko din kakulitan and demands na I know nakapagpasakit ulo and nakapagpalayo sayo saken. And please understand na possible na di ko maiiwasan maging weak and magpadala sa mga emotions ko in the future, but with His help, I will do what He says, so we could walk hand in hand until the end of the race nang hindi ako makapag cause ng too much pain or worries sayo. I am just also asking na maging strong ka din for me on those times and dont give up on me easily.
I just want to walk with you hon, ikaw, ako, si God together… I wont ask for super big things. i just want to have a godly person na mkakausap ko about my faith, about His words… whom I can pray with at the start and end of the day. Someone na magshoshow saken ng love base sa love na binibigay saken ni God. And mamahalin ko din according sa love Niya. God knows what is inside my heart… and I pray na when He sees the desires of my heart makikita Niya na kapareho din ng nasa heart mo..
Honey, thank you for loving me. sa lahat ng time mo kahit gano ka kabusy sa work, lagi man ako nagtatampo..pero I want you to know that I really appreciate all the time and effort na binibigay mo saken and for our relationship…sa mga Words na sineshare mo saken. Sa good intentions na nasa heart mo..sa mga prayers mo… sa mga pag alala mo. Alam ko bago to sayu lahat, and I'm happy kasi I know you always try to make me happy.
I love you Nino! I really thank God for letting me love you and letting me be loved by you.
Godbless us honey! May our relationship be used for His glory.
Happy 1st month anniversary!

Hi Everyone,
Time for another Sketch Challenge from Stamping 411!!
Here is the sketch:
…and my card:
Here is my creation using the "On the Grow " Set…..
The Dimensions for this card are:Old Olive 8 1/2 x 11 and the Marina Mist Mat is 4 x 5 1/4, followed by a Whisper White mat that has been run through the Big Shot using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. I made a little piece of DSP using the Stripes Stamp ( I love doing that) and stamping one way in Marina Mist and the other way in Old Olive. I cut that piece to 1 7/8 x 3 7/8 and mounted to an Old Olive Mat that has been scalloped on the edge. I then adhered a double bow made out of my very all time favorite Seam Binding Ribbon. The next mat measures 2 7/8 x 3 5/8 in Old Olive and the image piece is 2 3/4 x 3 1/2. I used the Love and Care Level 2 Hostess Set for this one and used my markers to color. I decided to add a bit of sunshine to this card using my 1" punch and some Daffodil Delight sponged on with a tiny piece of sponge. I then popped the image piece up on Dimensionals. I hope you like it and will play along. Thanks for stopping by!

Tales from Toddlerville: The Fecking Elf Came Back
So, yeah, Toddlerville has a fecking elf. He arrived last year in a fit of desperation on my part.
Of course, in my fuzzy little daydreams, I neglected to factor in my Boy's monkey-like speed and agility, which are only matched by his natural desire to "examine" ALL THE THINGS. If you can imagine Wreck-It Ralph as a young child, you'd not be far off from my kid. He breaks shite just looking at it.
Which is why our elf Donny didn't do much last year except try to find the highest shelf in the
apartment and play peek-a-boo. Even then he was captured more than once. If Donny was real, he'd never have made it home alive for Christmas.
Don't misunderstand, the kids enjoy looking to see how many inches he's moved, and talking to him from afar, but he's not particularly sought after or adored. Face it, Santa Claus he's not.
Honestly, after his reluctance to start the whole tradition, my Hubs seems to be the most into it. Ok, in actuality he actually makes himself an accessory to all the tattling that comes with the Elf mythology by shouting "I'm going to tell Donny!" when particularly frustrated with our Rebels' behavior. At which point I want to gag him with the damn doll.
I'm sorry to be such a hater; I really am just jealous. Donny the Elf is kinda lame. I try and make him do semi-entertaining things (that can be seen from below and far away). Yes, like a circus performer Donny does his act VERY high up, in places that are practically unreachable by those under 6 feet tall! Since I'm only 5'2", we have to rely on the magic of Christmas, and take care of the little.
So it's understandable, I think, that as the turkey pictures were being replaced by all the obligatory elf arrivals, I decided to do some informal polling on my Facebook page. I was hoping I could renew my enthusiasm for this "holiday tradition" we've saddled ourselves with.
Know what I learned? I'm not alone in my untethered annoyance. Overwhelmingly, people find the whole thing to be a pain in the tuckus, and a particularly creepy one at that. Because, if you've got doll phobias, or maybe even clown phobias, this little night stalker from the North Pole is a guaranteed trigger.
Granted, a few of my peeps find all the impish improv to be delightful. These are, no doubt, the same folks having the elf to do all the naughty and/or super fun creative Pinteresty things. I'm sure their elves have photo albums & Pinterest boards all their own.
Seriously, is it wrong I dream of an adorable way to shove the elf right in their creative A's?!

This week I enjoyed the beach for one beautiful day!
I was thinking, as I walked along the beach, how much God has blessed us with his nature, and that he knows the number of sand on the see shore is awesome!
In the picture above I had my friend french braid my hair, and we thought this was a really cute picture.
This is the front of my swimsuit!
We call this swimsuit modest, but many people have other prospects on modesty and whatever your family has standards for modesty, aways obey them!
Back to my swimsuit, I love this swimsuit. It comes in a xs, which comes in a benefit for me( if you can't tell by pictures I'm very petite). This swimsuit is from: https://www.limericki.com
I forgot to mention that the top is the only thing from Lime Ricki, the bottoms are not!
Hope you enjoyed my short post on my swimsuit make sure to check Lime Ricki out if your looking for a cute but modest swimsuit!

February Total
I've been playing with the stats tonight (apparently instead of riding), and based on the last two years, I've computed the percentage of the annual total achieved per month on average. Then I computed how much of my secret total miles goal I need to reach each month to match the average pace. Confusing? I think so.
Anyway, last January was an outstanding month, so that percentage is higher than most will be. Because of that, my January total for this year was pretty far off the mark, while this month's miles are at the average. For the year, I'm down by 27 miles already.
(Next month, I'll try to include averages for commuting, utility, and morning rides.)
March will be tough this year, since I'll be out of town for two of the four weeks. However, I only need to get in around four rides to keep the pace going; two more if I want to catch up. It all depends on the weather.

Welcome to my blog. Today I like to share my latest layout "Capture the moment."
Saw this gorgeous rusty vintage moodboard and immediately I thought of an old photography I have of James Dean.
And I also joined the rusty challenge of country view, with my layout; http://countryviewchallenges.blogspot.de/2017/04/april-2017-rust.html
Let me tell you how I have made this layout step by step!
Found 3 different and gorgeous pieces of paper, because I couldn't choose one of them I decided to use all 3 of them. Tore the paper into different sizes of strips and layered them on the woodenboards. I gave the pieces some rusty edges with some brown ink, before I glued them together. Found this gorgeous crackle stencil of Finnabair/Prima and added some turquoise embossing cremé on my layout through the stencil. On top of the embossing cremé I added some rust, copper rust and oxyd to age it. Love the outcome so much, that I did the same to with my gears, also with my cardboard clock with gears and on the chipboard "Capture the moment".
Before I start to build my layers of paper on my layout, I splashed around with to different colors of Glimmer Mist and with some gesso. So while it was still drying I started out with my layers, put ink on the edges to give it this old vintage feeling to it. And also stapled some pieces paper together. Found some old tags/card of Tim Holtz in my stash and they are just perfect to this layout. It's the pointing hand/vinger, the big pertrol score card and the little tag under the picture. I finished the whole with adding the gears, chipboard, tags, etc to it.
Material I used:
- Paper of Craft Sensations - Woodenboards, Harlequin squares and Metal typewriter letters
- Finnabair/Prima "Crackle" Stencil
- Gesso
- Viva Rusty
- Viva Rusty Patina Oxyd and Copper Rust
- Viva Embossing cremé turquoise
- Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Pumice stone and Rusty Hinge
- Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist - Bahama Blue and Antique Brass
- Scrapiniec Chipboard "Capture the moment"
- Tim Holtz cards and tags
- Some gears
- Tape with text
- Metal stars
- Staples
Here some close-ups of my layout:
Hope you got inspired to make something beautiful and with a vintage feeling to it.
Thank you for stepping by and have a nice day!

Christopher J. Terry, 29, is wanted on a rape warrant.
CANTON A northeast Canton man has been named to the U.S. Marshals Dangerous Dozen "most wanted" list.
Christopher J. Terry, 29, whose address is listed in Stark County court records as the 1600 block of Shriver Avenue NE, is wanted on a rape warrant.
Capt. David Kurzinsky, who heads the Canton Police Department's Detective Bureau, said Terry was identified as a suspect after a 26-year-old woman told police that an acquaintance had sexually assaulted her at gunpoint in the 1800 block of Mahoning Road NE about 6 a.m. Dec. 6. Court records show a warrant was issued Dec. 8 for Terry's arrest.
On Monday, U.S. Marshal Peter J. Elliott released his agency's list of the most-wanted fugitives in northern Ohio.
"With internet access, anyone can click on each photo on the flyer and view full wanted posters for each fugitive, which contain larger pictures and more information on the fugitive," according to a news release from Brian Fitzgibbon of the Northern District of Ohio office. Fugitives and wanted posters can be found on the U.S. Marshals Service website.
According to the wanted poster with Terry's photo, Terry has ties throughout Canton and New Philadelphia.
The poster also states that everyone on it should be considered dangerous and should not be approached by the general public.
Anyone who knows where Terry can be found is asked to contact the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force at 866-4WANTED or text the word WANTED and the tip to TIP411 (847411).
"Tipsters may remain anonymous and cash rewards are available for information leading to the arrest of any of these fugitives," the poster states.

Conmen jailed after flagging down cars and posing as policemen
Four conmen who posed as police officers and tricked people into handing over money have been sentenced to a total of more than 18 years in prison. Alberto Chivea, 25 from St Margaret's Road, Tottenham, Constantin Tanase, 23, of no address, Stefanita Iorga, 27 from Elgin Road, Ilford and Ninel Besleaga, 30 from St Margaret's Road, Tottenham all pleaded guilty to conspiracy to steal after they were caught stopping vehicles along the M20, pretending to be police offices and asking for money to be handed over.
The gang committed eight offences between 13 August 2012 and 31 October 2012 along the M20 and A20 where money was stolen totalling £25,000. They would use their vehicles to stop their targets by using police style lights and signage causing the vehicle to stop. One of the men would then produce what looked like a police identity badge and state they are police officers and need to search the vehicle for drugs. At which point the offender says that he needs to check any money in their possession to see if it's counterfeit. They then get in the waiting vehicle and make off with the money.
A second vehicle was used as a 'spotter' and carry the stolen property any false number plates and lighting equipment. On one occasion they stopped a mini bus travelling along the M20 towards Dover. He asked the driver and passengers to hand over any money they had so he could check it to see if it was counterfeit. He then ran back to the waiting vehicle and made off with about £14,000. CCTV at a the junction 8 service station on the M20 helped identify the suspects and vehicles when they made off with £2,000 after telling the victim he needed to check his car for drugs.
On Wednesday, October 31 the suspect vehicle was spotted in Folkestone. Officers located the vehicle and arrested the occupants, Besleaga and Chivea and found cash. The ANPR cameras located the second vehicle heading out of Kent into Essex on the M20 and Iorga and Tanase were arrested. Iorga was jailed for five years and four months, Tanase and Besleaga for five years and Chivea to three and a half years in prison.

For the first time since this scandal broke last week, The Herald can exclusively reveal today that Chann Sankaran, a Singaporean who was only released from a British jail in December last year, was part of the cartel that ZIFA and their whistleblower claim was plotting to fix the Warriors' 2017 Nations Cup qualifiers against Swaziland on Easter weekend.
According to exclusive documents gleaned by The Herald, Sankaran was even introduced to Zimbabwe international goalkeeper George Chigova, accused by ZIFA and their whistleblower as being a central figure in the match-fixing scandal, by former Warriors' coach Ian Gorowa in a dark parking lot in South Africa.
A former member of the FIFA anti-corruption crack team, specialising in fighting match-fixing, said that for Sankaran to plunge back into the match-fixing underworld, just 10 weeks after being released from jail, provided confirmation that this cancer wasn't going to be defeated easily.
Sankaran was jailed for five years after conspiracy to bribery after he was found guilty of working, in collaboration with Krishan Ganeshan, and former footballer, Michael Boateng, to try and fix matches in the English lower leagues.
He had barely spent a year in England when he was arrested after a sting operation in which the Daily Telegraph played a key role in recording the plot.
"I am satisfied you were at the head of this conspiracy, you two were the controlling minds," Judge Melbourne Inman said to Sankaran and Ganeshan.
"Professional football and sport play an important part in national life and individuals' lives in this country.
"Those who make determined attempts to destroy its integrity for personal gain must expect significant prison sentences so when such acts are discovered a clear signal is sent to others."
The judge said the duo had clearly targeted lower division football clubs because the cost of bribing the players "on their modest wages" was cheaper than approaching players from the higher leagues.
Sankaran was deported soon after serving his jail term and, just 10 weeks later, he was in South Africa plotting to fix matches in the country's top-flight league and, according to ZIFA, also rigging the 2017 Nations Cup qualifiers between Zimbabwe and Swaziland.
Yesterday, the whistleblower who blew the cover on the scandal, provided a warned-and-cautioned statement to the police as the country's law enforcement forces moved in to deal with the case.
The whistleblower claims that suspended ZIFA board member, Edzai Kasinauyo, former ZIFA chief executive Henrietta Rushwaya and former Warriors' coach, Ian Gorowa, were part of the cartel.
Rushwaya claims she was working undercover, to nail the match-fixers, while Gorowa and Kasinauyo have denied being part of the cartel to fix matches.
Arubi, whom the match-fixer-turned-whistleblower claims flatly rejected an offer made to him at the University of Pretoria training ground to corrupt him, was relegated to the substitutes' bench when his team drew 1-1 against Bidvest Wits on Saturday.
Rushwaya claims, in her report, Arubi pocketed some "commitment fees" from the match-fixers but refused to play to their tune.
Another player named by the whistleblower, Bloemfontein Celtic goalkeeper Patrick Tignyemb, was in goals when his team lost to Free State Stars 1-2 yesterday.
Neal Collins, the veteran South African football writer who writes a column for The New Age newspaper, said this was "match-fixing in its purest form", and warned the scandal will "create waves in South Africa."
He questioned whether there was a link between Siwelele's pathetic run, this season, to the alleged corruption in their camp.
"Bloemfontein Celtic 'keeper Patrick Tignyemb and defensive midfielder Lansthene Phalane are also implicated, which might help to explain Siwelele's worrying slide down the PSL table," wrote Collins.
"Clearly, this is serious. Some kind of response should emanate from SAFA House or Parktown.
"Match-fixing in its purest form. We wait SAFA's response with some trepidation." What has generated anger in domestic football circles is the whistleblower's claims that their beloved Warriors were supposed to lose to Swaziland, just to inflate the bank balances of the match-fixers, in a campaign where the national team has a very good chance of qualifying for the Nations Cup finals.
Chigova's Facebook page has been hit by messages from fans who want to know if he, indeed, agreed to be part of a cartel to fix the national team games as claimed by the whistleblower.
"It was agreed that the first player to be approached was to be Tatenda Mukuruva," the whistleblower said in his statement.
"On or around the 16th of February 2016, Ian Gorowa contacted Tatenda Mukuruva in the presence of Rushwaya and myself at Dros restaurant in Hatfield, Pretoria, to initiate negotiations with Mukuruva on the pretext of inviting him for trials in South Africa.
"It was agreed that we would wait for the national team coach (Callisto Pasuwa) to announce his squad and then we would approach three players, preferably two defenders and the goalkeeper.
"Ian Gorowa indicated that we had to target Tatenda Mukuruva the goalkeeper most likely to be the first choice. However, in the event that George Chigova was selected as the first choice, it was even going to be easier because he is Ian Gorowa's asset.
"It was agreed that an advance team would be dispatched to Mbabane before the team's arrival to lie in wait. The group later agreed to have me courier the money to the players in Mbabane since Nation Dube (Warriors' assistant coach) had failed to discharge that task properly in Rwanda during the CHAN tournament leaving the targeted players disgruntled.
"Edzai Kasinauyo undertook to use his designated portfolio as Executive Member (ZIFA) to retrieve the list of players selected for national duty and promptly transmit it to facilitate arrangements with the chosen players while also guaranteeing that he would influence the referees in the return fixture in Zimbabwe to ensure that their plans to fix the match succeeded.
"I attach, hereto, a copy of the screenshot email confirming facts stated above as 'Annexure G.' "Kasinauyo further undertook to push for the dismissal of Callisto Pasuwa to pave way for Ian Gorowa so that future assignments would be easier to accomplish."

Don't break what can't be fixed is an equally vital principle. One cannot compromise on factors that cannot be predicted. If different gun propellant powders and 23 mm shell varieties or newer missiles that might appear in future cannot be predicted, the design has to avoid gas ingestion and cannot be more lax with a newer model "more tolerant" engine and less lax with an older model engine. I cannot imagine a designer saying "It's OK if some gases are ingested. That is imprecise and a formula for disaster. "How much gas gets ingested and under what conditions" would be critical. Unless that is studied by testing there will be needless accidents. That is the reason why testing takes time, which is where the discussion started.

March (Mock) Madness
I want to preface this whole thing with the fact that I realize this is pure fantasy. It's something that keeps me involved in the NFL and NCAA football seasons when they aren't playing. (Go Cowboys, Hook Em Horns!) I've sifted through most relevant projection sites and two stand out to me:
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/prospectrankings/TSX/2011 for player rankings and http://www.walterfootball.com/draftchart.php for draft pick value.
With that said, I moved around in the draft (Jerry style) to collect the highest impact and value players I could find, keeping the salary CAP in mind all the while.
I'll start with the draft since there is no CBA currently in place
1 (9) *TRADE* to St.Louis who selects Julio Jones WR Alabama (rated: 9) ahead of Washington. Dallas receives St.Louis' 1 (14,) 3 (78,) 5 (142) and 6 (173)
1(14) Gabe Carimi OT Wisconsin (rated:22)
Claims he's the best OT in the draft. JJ requested more tape on Tyron Smith and scouts followed Anthony Costanzo's career at Boston College closely. Doesn't matter…Carimi is truely the best pure right tackle in this draft and Marc Colombo must be replaced…
1 (26) Dallas trades picks 2 (40) and 3 (78) to Baltimore for 1 (26)
Dallas selects either Jimmy Smith CB Colorado (rated: 26) or Brandon Harris CB Miami (rated: 27)
Terrance Newman is slowing down and increasingly injury prone…His salary far excedes his performance…The Cowboys need CAP relief and a young talented CB for the future…One of these two should be here for the Cowboys to take advantage of.
3 (65) Dallas trades picks 3 (71) and 5 (142) to Carolina for pick 3 (65)
Dallas selects Ben Ijalana G Villanova (rated: 65)
Marcus Cannon would have been nice to get here and replace Leonard Davis and his 6 mil dollar salary but he rates higher (at 53) and would put two rookies on the right side of the line…Not good…Ben Ijalana has the skill set to replace Kyle Kosier on the left side…His toughness, athleticism and strong hands (his background as a high school wrestler is apparent) should allow him to transition from LT to LG. Kosier was also responsible for calling the audibles on the line. (asually a center's responsibility) That duty would also need to be absorbed by Ijalana or Gurode. Hopefully Ijalana.
4 (109) *TRADE* to Minnesota for 4 (136,) 6 (165) and a 2012 6th round pick. Minnesota selects Tyler Sash SS Iowa (rated: 100)
I don't see any of these "top" safeties an upgrade over Akwasi or Sensebaugh, whom I believe will be resigned. Duenta Williams is the only safety I would consider over any of the late round players I took in this draft that I think could compete with AOA for the FS spot opposite Sensebaugh. Since I didnt take Williams, I signed Huff too. Depends on how much $ he would command and the amount of years guaranteed.
4 (127) Dallas trades picks 6 (169) and 6 (173) to Pittsburgh for pick 4 (127)
Dallas selects Ian Williams DT Notre Dame (rated: 136)
Ian had a pre-combine visit with Dallas and is a prime candidate to rotate with Josh Price-Brent at the nose position, allowing Ratliff to make his long awaited move to Igor Olshanski's position at RDE. (freeing Igor's $3.335 million salary) I know Rob Ryan said Ratliff is and will be a DT, but he didnt say in what packages. Ratliff could be a DE in the base 3-4 package and a DT in others. I think Ryan is smart enough to put his best players on the field and having options is nice.
5 (136) Dallas selects John Moffitt G Wisconsin (rated: 139)
Moffitt will be reunited with Gabe Carimi and in year two the Wisconsin duo will take over the right side for the next 10 years in Dallas. Moffitt will sit behind Leonard Davis for a year and improve his core strength.
4 (140) Casey Matthews ILB Oregon (rated: 144)
He hasn't improved his draft stock one bit since the Duck's regular season in 2010. However, he is a Matthews and he lead the Oregon Duck's 2010 team in tackling with 79. Dallas needs help on the inside. Could be a steal or semi-bust. Worth rolling the dice…
6 (165) Owen Marecic FB Stanford (rated:161)
Only because this is such a strong FB class do I believe it is possible to still get Marecic at 165. The emergence of Charles Clay, Stanley Havili and Henry Hynoski should let one drop to Dallas here and improve at a very weak position. Marecic is exactly the type of player I want on this roster. He puts his head down and works hard. This is the extreme value pick of this draft. To boot, anyone opposed to taking a FB should look at the undrafted player responsible for ending the seasons, because of missed blocks, for both Romo and Bryant in 2010.
7 (209) Willie Smith OT East Carolina (rated: 231)
There is a depth void at LT and it would be nice to have a tackle with a LT skill set and experience playing that side of the line…
Undrafted Free Agent Signings:
-Nick Bellore ILB Central Michigan
depth for Bradie James' side. Leon williams was not tendered
-Bruce Miller OLB UCF
competition for Brandon Williams, who is coming to a crossroads on the weak side behind Ware
-Anthony Allen RB Georgia Tech
I don't know how Tashard Choice will react to this. My guess is that he assumes a leadership role and takes charge of the every-down back role and Felix is used as a Reggie Bush type player. That is if JG allows this. Allen should challenge JJ's last year favorite, Lonyae Miller, for the 3rd RB spot.
-Lazarius Levingston DE LSU
Bowen and Hatcher seem to be locked up again with their tenders. Last year's 6th round pick Sean Lissemore could use some competition on Ratliff's newly aquired position at RDE.
-DeJon Gomes SS Nebraska
Barry Church needs to be pushed. He signed a modest 3 year deal in 2010 that could easily be whiped out if Gomes emerges as the better safety who can also contribute to Special Teams.
Free Agent Signings:
Doug Free LT Dallas
Michael Huff S Oakland
Gerald Sensebaugh SS Dallas
Stephen Bowen LDE Dallas
Jason Hatcher LDE Dallas
Alan Ball CB/S Dallas
Jesse Holley WR/ST Dallas

Hair Ice on Wood and PavementJanuary 16th, 2013
The morning after a rapid cool-down, I found hair ice on an alder log.
From a distance, it looked unnaturally white, like it was a bit of discarded cotton or white paper, but the closer I got to it, the more incredible it seemed.
Crystal-to-crystal "communication" through vapor and heatJanuary 5th, 2013
Two mornings ago, I saw this on the windshield of a parked car.
The bulls-eye pattern wasn't centered on any particular feature on the windshield, and there were similar, though less developed, patterns nearby. See them on the photo below.
The dark parts are largely frost-free regions, and thus are regions that dried out during the crystallization event. (It was still dark when I took the shots.) Later, under a brighter sky, I saw a different pattern on the hood of another car, a pattern that I figure has a similar cause. In the hood case, shown below, the dry regions are bright due to reflection of the sky.
Now, about those concentric rings …
I puzzled over a larger such pattern in the Feb. 5, 2010 posting "Ripples". The causative process that I proposed back then seems consistent with this newer observation, but I will clarify it here.
Before the first frost formed, the windshield, though seemingly dry, nevertheless had a thin layer of liquid water. This thin film had cooled to some temperature below freezing. (See the sketch "How hoar frost forms" in the Jan. 11, 2012 posting.) As the windshield and water film continued to cool, freezing was inevitable; the only issue was where. The first such spot to freeze must have had some feature, however minute, that was advantageous to freezing. It may have been a nucleant particle (e.g., a mineral dust grain, a type of bacteria, or even a tiny fleck of ice that wafted in from somewhere else), a slightly cooler spot, or a slightly thicker water film (e.g., from a scratch or indentation). But for whatever reason, the ice formed there first.
Now suppose the ice spreads outward from the nucleation spot in all directions with about the same rate. I suspect this happens when the film is extremely thin, as it would have been under the relatively dry conditions of this day. So, the frozen film grows outward, roughly as a disc. See the sketch below; the black dot in the center is the first place that froze.
Trip of the Ice ManNovember 9th, 2012
The "Ice Man" -- that's how a newspaper header referred to me after I gave a recent conference lecture:
A link to the article is here:
It was a very enjoyable visit to the 7th annual Northern Plains Winter Storms Conference on the campus of St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minn. We had various talks including one about forecasting a storm, the statistics of the snow-to-liquid equivalent ratio (e.g., in some areas about 13" of snow will melt to 1" of water, but regions and storms vary considerably, some being over 70 to 1),and one talk about how a late-season snowstorm might end a locust plague (unlikely, according to the speaker).
My talk described how a simple principle allows us to understand how a wide variety of snow crystal forms originate.
Here's the narrated talk. To view, click the image, then enlarge to full screen:
Part 1 (10 min):
-> Why study snow crystal shapes?
-> Some history about snow science.
-> The habit map.
-> Questions that will be answered in the rest of the talk.
Part 2 (13.5 min):
-> Basics of snow crystal science.
-> Why dendrites grow so thin.
-> Why needles and columns sometimes form.
Part 3 (6 min):
-> How the crystals get their branches.
-> Why they are six-fold symmetric.
Part 4 (14.5 min):
-> How the crystals get sidebranches.
-> Common errors we make when drawing snow.
-> Why they have so much variety.
-> Mysteries about snow.
-> What are the "messages in water".
It is a scientific talk, so it involves some diagrams and technical terms. But this one is pretty easy. Perhaps the only technical terms are "vapor deposition" and "supersaturation". Vapor deposition happens when water molecules in the air (i.e. water vapor) crystallize onto something, like a snow crystal or hoarfrost. The vapor must be "super" saturated for this to happen. Greater supersaturation means greater vapor density and thus faster growth. The above link goes to the first segment, and from there you can click on the subsequent segments.
On the flight home, I saw a subsun on the clouds below. A subsun is a reflection of the sun from tiny, flat, hovering plate-like (tabular) ice crystals. They are essentially hovering like microscopic flying saucers.
In the photo above, you can see the sun's reflection off the wing on top. The smaller reflection on the clouds below is the subsun. I used to think the subsun was rare, but apparently I simply wasn't looking. This subsun was there in various forms for at least 2/3rds of the flight. I've seen them on most previous flights. More on subsuns in the next post.

The Crunchy Puddle PuzzleMarch 24th, 2012
Who cares about crunchy puddles?
As a kid, I liked to stomp on hollowed-out frozen puddles to hear their crunch. Sure, I sometimes wondered, as many kids probably do, about what happened to all the water and why it happened only to some of the puddles. But such puzzles don't linger in the mind of a kid for long.
Years later, while living in Japan, I rediscovered frozen puddles and saw their beauty in new ways. I saw new puzzles and revisited the old one about the missing water. A fellow ice-researcher I asked thought the water simply drained. But if they drained, how could I observe puddles in the same location morning after morning? How could the water come back without rain or snow? And why would they suddenly drain just as ice was forming? Something funny seemed to be happening. Searching the scientific literature, I found out that Kenichi Satake, also in Japan, had puzzled over the same thing. But he also offered a solution. His solution was published in Nature in 1977:
What he noticed was that a) the puddle water did reappear day after day, just as I thought, and b) their disappearance coincided with the formation of needle ice.
He pointed out that the freezing of the puddle coincides with the freezing of the top surface of the ground. When the ground freezes and ice needles form, water flows up to the base of the ice needles and push the needles up. That's why they grow as columns. But the ground water must come from somewhere, and if a puddle is nearby, water will flow out of the puddle, through the ground, and deposit on the base of the ice needle. Even if the water must flow uphill.
I reproduce his sketch below.
Black IceMarch 10th, 2012
Black ice can form on sidewalks.
It can form in parking lots.
And it can form on small pieces of plastic.
To be "black", the ice only has to be noticeably darker than its surroundings. And it can be darker if the ice attaches snugly to the underlying surface and is smooth on top. That is, the ice is black when it flows onto the surface like liquid water. The darkening effect is strongest when the underlying surface is rough because the water or ice fills the cavities that otherwise make the roughened surface a little whiter. As the image below shows, ice and liquid water darken a smooth surface as well, but the effect is weaker than that for the first three photos where the surface was rougher.
Black ice forms by water flowing onto the surface and then freezing. Black ice is black for the same reason that wet surfaces appear dark. In fact, black ice's resemblance to liquid water is likely one reason it is so dangerous – though we'd hesitate about stepping onto smooth ice, we think little of stepping onto a slightly wet patch.
Finally got it!February 8th, 2012
For a few years now, myself and another ice-researcher have been trying to get a research grant from the National Science Foundation to study snow. Well, we just recently heard that the funding came through and I'll be starting on the project in March. Yeah!
You might wonder what it is that we don't already know about snow. Well, the better question is, what do we really know? The answer is "not much". There's been a lot of experiments in the lab, spanning nearly 100 years now, with many interesting results, but nothing really clear has emerged. Here's one of the basic problems: In a typical cloud consisting of supercooled droplets and snow crystals, we can calculate the crystal's rate of growth fairly accurately if we know the crystal shape. But it is extremely difficult to predict the crystal's shape, and the rate of growth can change a lot with the shape. That's the thing about snow crystals - they come in a bewildering variety of shapes, and we still have no clue as to why. And if the crystal isn't surrounded by supercooled droplets, the situation is even worse.
We argued in our proposal that the main reason we don't have a clear picture about the development of snow crystal shape (and even growth rate) is because of problems with the experimental methods. Instrumental influences easily creep into the experiment and alter the crystal shape. We suggested a new method based on one I helped developed in 1994-1996. In that method, we grew single ice crystals from the tip of an ultrafine glass capillary (about 10x thinner than the typical hair on a person's head). Some of the images below show what I mean about shape variety.
The crystals are all very small and compact because we were interested in growth with very low humidity. In the series (a1) - (a7), you see the crystal growing as I rotated the capillary to see all of the crystal faces. Sometimes I let a crystal grow for a week or more.
You can see that sometimes a crystal is 5-sided. But the angles between the prismatic faces are always multiples of 60 degrees. I don't think I'll ever see a 5-sided snow crystal that looks exactly like a pentagon.
The large crystal at the bottom left & middle was starting to melt. The melting formed cusps on the edges of the face. The one at the top right is called a bullet rosette. These crystals are very common in cirrus clouds and other very low-temperature clouds. The sequence at the upper left shows something we can do with a capillary: we can suck the crystal out from the inside. In that case, I put a vacuum on the other end of the capillary and a void started to form. Then, inexplicably, a crystal started growing inside the void! You never know what will happen in these experiments.
By this time next year, I hope to be able to show new crystals we grew. And sometime soon after that, have some reliable results.

Caution!February 1st, 2012
Hoar. It's just a white coating on things, so why does it make everything look more interesting?
I saw this hoar coating on a plastic trash-can lid:
The hoar frost on the lid had various whirls, just like I've seen on the plastic surfaces of car door handles and side-view mirrors. This hoar was a little different though in that the crystals were definitely sticking up and not laying flat on the surface. Nevertheless, the fact that they show a pattern at all, and are not just randomly oriented, means that there must have been a liquid film of water that first froze to the surface. The film froze, producing a pattern of crystal orientations on the surface, and these orientations were not revealed until the hoar frost grew. Hurray for hoar!
Here's another warning:
The hoar crystals are longer on the raised lettering, particularly near edges. This is not because such places are further from the ground, but because they have more radiative cooling (due to their more expansive view of the sky) and can stick out into regions with a greater density of water vapor molecules.
If you click on the images, you can see the crystals a little better. But I forgot my tripod on this particular morning (I took the shots after I got to the office), and so the images aren't as crisp as my other close-up shots.

Slush Fingering and Other Pond PatternsJanuary 19th, 2012
Here in the Pacific Northwest, we just had our first snowfalls of the season. On the weekend, we had 1 – 2 inches. This was followed on Wednesday by what the Seattle Times newspaper was calling a "megastorm". But in the end, most areas in the area got only a few inches. Here in Redmond, we had 4 – 5 inches. And though the temperature barely dipped below freezing, I had several opportunities to observe snow patterns on the neighboring pond.
Or maybe I should say slush patterns. (Slush is a roughly uniform mixture of water and snow or ice.) Take the viscous fingering pattern I mentioned in my pond-ice post of a few days ago. Here is a similar type of pattern, except this looks like a neuron dendrite inside an egg.
Unlike the Boulder ice in that previous post, the ice layer on this pond was way too thin for me to walk on. Perhaps that's a key to understanding why the patterns here instead had darker regions near their center. I don't know. Anyway, the pond had a few such regions in which the water created dendrite-like fingering.
On the first snowfall, the pond had more circles with dark centers, but perhaps because the amount of snow was less, there was no discernable fingering near the centers, just dark centers caused by more uniform flooding.
In general, the basic layering was liquid below, clear and solid ice above, slush (or frozen slush) on top of the ice, and snow on top of the slush. (There can also be slush under a layer of solid ice.) The first snowstorm, though it had less snow, was preceded by colder weather. So, the clear ice was a little thicker and the slush layer thinner. Between the snowstorms, the ice melted and for awhile we had just slush on top of the liquid water.
The circular and fingering patterns arise when water gets pressed out of a small hole in the ice. The water then floods the ice as sketched below.

The Biomedical Modeling, Visualization and Image-guided Navigation laboratory at RIT focuses on the discovery and development of innovative imaging, navigation and visualization techniques and instrumentation to improve the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of human diseases through minimally or non-invasive approaches, conducting research across several broad themes.
Our research interests have focused on exploring the use of medical imaging to generate new paradigms for image-guided visualization and navigation for minimally invasive therapy. Cardiac interventions, for instance, have been among the last disciplines to benefit from minimally invasive treatment techniques, mainly due to the challenges associated with access and visualization inside the beating heart. Our research endeavors entail both technologies (image acquisition, surgical tracking, visualization and display) and techniques (image analysis, modeling, evaluation and validation) to advance the development, evaluation and pre-clinical integration of image guidance environments for surgical navigation of minimally invasive cardiac interventions.

Regularly scheduled programming
My Web host consolidated his IP addresses while at the same time his DNS provider changed offices, so all things 101squadron.com have been in Internet limbo since early Friday morning.
I sort of knew this was going to happen. I should say I would have known it, had I read the e-mail warning more closely. I thought this was still months away. I would have warned readers (you) otherwise.
If you can read this, all is back to normal.
It seems this week I'm at the nexus of a strange intersection of Web-outs. My site, the official WarBirds forum, and AGW. Odd.
While fiddling around with IP addresses in my FTP app, Blogger, and elsewhere, I bought a new domain.
Once upon a time, an Australian airplane geek who goes by the handle Spelchk drank a little too much. As we gentlemen (mostly) of a certain age, a certain geek persuasion, and a certain blood-alcohol level are prone to do, Spelchk logged in to AGW to post – back when AGW was hale and hearty, last weekend.
Near the end of his message, he noted that he was drunk but, being drunk, he used a cuss word and, being drunk, he spelled it wrong. I suppose Spelchk does not stand for "spellcheck", or maybe it does, but only when sober.
He meant to write that he was shitfaced, but he actually wrote "I am shitcafe." Well, "shitcafe" is simply brilliant, and it has taken on a life of its own. Today, while at Go Daddy to update my DNS record, I checked. Shitcafe.com was available. I now own it for a year, in return for an investment of $12.15.
But what, if anything, am I going to do with it?
2 Responses to "Regularly scheduled programming"
Maybe like LOLCats but for coffee?
I'll rent space on shitcafe.
(and, for the record, I had a drink and originally spelled it nshitface. No joke.)

JUAN GARCIA, PLAINTIFF,v.MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, DEFENDANT.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Sheila K. Oberto United States Magistrate Judge
(Doc. 18)
On April 22, 2010, Plaintiff filed his opening brief. (Doc. 14.) On June 23, 2010, Defendant filed his responsive brief. (Doc. 17.) Accordingly, pursuant to the Court's scheduling order and Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(d), Plaintiff's reply brief was due by July 12, 2010. (Doc. 7 ¶ 8.)
On July 7, 2010, the parties stipulated to a modification of the scheduling order to provide an extension of time to August 23, 2010, for Plaintiff to file his reply brief because of Plaintiff's counsel's previously scheduled vacation, workload demands, and the number and complexity of the issues in this case. (Doc. 18.)
A court's scheduling order may be modified upon a showing of "good cause," an inquiry that focuses on the reasonable diligence of the moving party. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b); Noyes v. Kelly Servs., 488 F.3d 1163, 1174 n.6 (9th Cir. 2007) (citing Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 609 (9th Cir. 1992)).
Good cause may be found to exist where the moving party shows that it diligently assisted the court with creating a workable scheduling order, that it is unable to comply with the scheduling order's deadlines due to matters that could not have reasonably been foreseen at the time of the issuance of the scheduling order, and that it was diligent in seeking an amendment once it became apparent that the party could not comply with the scheduling order.
Kuschner v. Nationwide Credit, Inc., 256 F.R.D. 684, 687 (E.D. Cal. 2009).
Here, Plaintiff's inability to comply with the Court's deadlines apparently could not have been reasonably foreseen when the Court entered its scheduling order in September 2009. Further, Plaintiff requested an extension of time to file his reply brief before its due date and was, therefore, diligent in seeking an extension of time. Cf. Timbisha Shosone Tribe v. Kennedy, 267 F.R.D. 333, 336 & n.2 (E.D. Cal. 2010) (defendants failed to demonstrate diligence in seeking to amend opposition to motion because deadline for filing opposition had expired). In sum, Plaintiff has shown that, even with the exercise of due diligence, he is unable to meet the timetable set forth in the Court's scheduling order. See Zivkovic v. S. Cal. Edison Co., 302 F.3d 1080, 1087 (9th Cir. 2002). The Court, therefore, finds that good cause exists for an extension of time for Plaintiff to file his reply brief.
Accordingly, upon the parties' stipulation and for good cause shown, Plaintiff shall file and serve his reply brief by no later than August 23, 2010.

Teaching season began in March and since then I've had a few lovely ladies coming through the doors to fall in love with corsets, and a number of those very ladies have re-booked for further courses. This weekend coming I have not one, not two, but THREE repeat students coming so it will be extra fun I'm sure!
Here are some pictures from Izabela Pitcher's Prior Attire courses which covered all manner of Victorian Underwear ...
|Here is Helen making a semi hooped petticoat with broderie pleated trim.
This was to be worn under a dress for a masked ball!
|This is Jane who has been on two corsetry courses with me and who is
making a Steampunk costume
|Does my bum look big in this?
|Here is Suzy making with her petticoat that goes over the hooped bustle petticoat
|With and without the cage underneath
|Does my bum look big in this #2 - I'm trying on EVERYTHING at the same time!
You can read more about Izabela's costuming exploits at her blog: A Damsel in this Dress. Izabela's skills are amazing! If you want to book a course with her, get in touch via her blog, and when enough people are gathered, the workshops take place at Sew Curvy! Great fun!

One Man Stranger Things: A Parody
One guy uses his voice & body to recreate season one of the Netflix series - all the characters, dialogue, special effects, music and Eggos
Stranger Things burst into popular consciousness in July 2016, referencing 80s movies, kid culture, the supernatural and Eggo waffles. Charles Ross and TJ Dawe grew up in the 80s, addicted to adventure movies, and went on to co-create a series of one man parody shows of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Batman, which continue to tour the world. One Man Stranger Things: A Parody (World Premiere!) will recreate and spoof season one of Stranger Things, reminding audiences why they loved it, right in time for season two (Premieres October 27th Netflix). Prepare to turn the upside-down upside down.
