I love the photography. I gave my publisher, Interweave, a "mood board" to work from, trying to give them an idea of the style of photography I hoped to see in the book and oh boy, did they deliver. Absolutely the look and feel I had hoped for!
I love the projects in this book. They are so very me. And it's impossible to pick a favorite, but right now I'm crushing real hard on Steely Gaze...
I love the amount of me that's still left in the text. The amount of personality that didn't get edited out. I think my voice really comes through in the writing, and that's really exciting to me.
I love the amount of illustrations and photos throughout. It makes the book so much more vibrant.
And really, I love a lot more about it, but that's all I'm going to share for now. Don't forget, you can order a copy from Amazon right here or you can order a signed copy from me right here! Stay tuned for more, and have a fantastic day!

Do you have a laundry detergent you love? I sure don't (or didn't!). I admit, I was buying one of the cheapest kinds of laundry detergent there was and never really felt like it did a good job. I have a one-year old and a two-year old, and a husband that works manual labor most days so our clothes get super dirty! I found a bottle of Dr. Bronner's Liquid Soap in my cabinet I had forgotten about and decided to make my own laundry detergent! I am very pleased with the quality of how clean the clothes are! You should give this a try. It only took a few minutes to mix up!
Homemade Laundry Detergent
1 cup Dr. Bronner's pure castile liquid soap (found on amazon)
1 cup baking soda
2 cups water
1/3 cup salt
Warm the water and mix with salt and baking soda until dissolved. Pour into a one-gallon container. Add the Dr. Bronner's soap and fill the remainder of the gallon jar with water. Use 1/2 cup per load!

At the Inn, we have had a flurry of activities: guests coming and going from all over the country, new recipes being tried out, and the redressing of some of our rooms. It's been a while since I had some of my antique pieces recovered. But I went ahead and redid two wing-back chairs and a lounge chair and ottoman, in our second floor suite.
In august, we booked three rooms for the Derby. I decided that was enough because, after 17 Kentucky Derby celebrations, I knew how work intensive it would be. But, honestly, this year seemed easier and more relaxed than in the past. John, my regular assistant was there to help me and Chandra who has worked for me on and off for the past three years came in to give some extra assistance.
We have changed our activities at our Inn over the years. Originally, we put on a Bar-B-Q for my guests on Thursday evening when they arrived. (I always have between six and ten guests.) But after years of dodging the rain on Thursdays, we switched to an indoor Cocktail Party. We also do a Champagne brunch on Derby morning, with Mimosas and a beautiful buffet.
We really go all out at the both events, but the Cocktail Party is special. We serve: Brie wrapped in Puff Pastry or Filo. We used Filo this year and it was delicious. In fact, I still have a little in the frig that I secretly stowed away to eat tomorrow. I love it! We also served Curried Meatballs in an awesome sauce, Artichoke Dip, fresh Marinated Mozzarella, Boursin cheese dip with Tuscan Toast and crudites, fresh shrimp, and Derby Pie. Yum.Everything was made from scratch, except the Derby pie and shrimp. And, of course, we serve Mint Juleps. The guests loved everything. And so did the help (me, John, and Chandra.
1 round of Brie (6 or 8 inch)
Brown sugar
Whole pecans
I package Phyllo dough sheets (most super markets carry this)
Take top off of chilled brie cheese. Sprinkle evenly with nuts and brown sugar. Place in 350 degree oven for approximately 15 minutes, until sugar is melted and Phyllo is brown. Serve with small chunks of French bread, toasted bread, or crackers. Garnish with red and green grapes.
Phyllo-Wrapped Brie with Caramelized Onions
1 tablespoon margarine or butter
4 medium onions, cut into thin wedges (about 2 cups)
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts (filberts) or walnuts
8 sheets (17x12 inches) frozen phyllo dough, thawed
1/4 cup margarine or butter, melted
2 4 1/2 ounces rounds Brie or camembert cheese
1/4 cup apricot spreadable fruit
Baguette-style French bread slices, pear and/or apple wedges, or assorted crackers
1. Melt the 1 tablespoon margarine or butter in a large saucepan. Add onion. Cover and cook over medium-low heat about 15 minutes or until onion is tender and golden, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle sugar over onion. Cook, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes more or until browned, stirring occasionally. Stir in hazelnuts or walnuts. Cool.
2. Work with one sheet of phyllo at a time, keeping remaining sheets covered with plastic wrap until needed. Lightly brush one sheet of phyllo dough with some of the 1/4 cup melted margarine or butter. Place another sheet of phyllo dough on top of the first sheet, and brush with margarine or butter. Repeat with two more sheets of phyllo, brushing with margarine or butter. Cut a 12-inch circle from the stack; discard trimmings.
3. Slice one round of Brie or camembert in half horizontally. Place bottom half in center of phyllo stack. Spread with 1 tablespoon of the apricot spreadable fruit; top with one-fourth of the caramelized onion-hazelnut mixture. Top with other half of Brie, 1 tablespoon spreadable fruit, and another one-fourth of onion-hazelnut mixture. Wrap phyllo up and over filling, pleating phyllo as needed to cover and slightly twisting phyllo on top. Brush phyllo with margarine or butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo, margarine, Brie, spreadable fruit, and onion-hazelnut mixture.
4. Place one wrapped Brie round in an 8x8x2-inch baking pan or two rounds in a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Cover and chill up to 24 hours. Bake in a 400 degree F oven about 20 minutes or until golden. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with bread, fruit wedges, or crackers. Makes 12 servings.

Bad Advice
Often what works for one writer, won't work for another. Take for example the "don't get it right, get it written" advice. I don't know how many times I've spouted this one and while it works for some folks, it doesn't work for me. I rewrite as I go along. Yes, it takes me longer to get a complete first draft, but that's the way I work. And, if this is the way you work best, then you must ignore that advice.
So, my question to you, what bad writing advice have you been given? Share that advice in the comment column so we can all benefit from it.
Here's a great article that lists some other bad writing advice.

Why, I wonder, is there so much writing advice floating around anyway?
I don't see blogs about how to be a better insurance salesman, brain surgeon, or city manager.
Why writers? Are people looking for tips and tricks that will speed them past the hard work of just doing it? I wonder.

I think there are so many articles about writing because everyone thinks they can write. Bottom line, writing, IMO, is a disrespected profession. I don't think it is disrespected purposefully, but disrespected none the less. Many believe that writing is so easy and that anyone can be a writer. Us writers know this is simply not true. Well, to answer the actual question here, no, I can't really say that I have received bad writing advice. I quess I just do what works best for me. Anything I think is strange or doesn't make sense, I just don't do. And if I don't trust the credentials of the one doing the advising, I just move on.

I also don't know that I've received bad advice, just WAY too much of it. It has been so overwhelming that, to some extent, my brain just refuses to absorb or understand it. That and, because as you mentioned what works for some doesn't work for all, much of it is contradictory, which doesn't help.
Also, like Cheryl, I look at their credentials. If they aren't published themselves, I don't put much weight to their advice.

Goldberg (Whoopi Goldberg Book, 1997, etc.) offers unvarnished advice on relationships.
Based on her years of experience in a variety of relationships, the author, currently the moderator of The View, suggests ideas on interpersonal bonds that she wishes someone had suggested to her years ago. Her hope is that readers won't make the same mistakes she did or have to learn the hard way why a relationship is not working. Her manner is frank and mostly funny, and Goldberg rarely holds back. Popular culture, she writes, consistently portrays an unrealistic picture of what a "normal" bond between two people should be, which sets up everyone for major disappointment. That sweet Cinderella dream of Prince Charming sweeping you off your feet to a life of happily ever after—it's not going to happen. No one can complete you, writes Goldberg, if you're not already solid and complete in yourself. The author offers advice for those stuck in dead-end situations, for those who just want no-strings-attached sex (as well as what to do when the sex has stopped but the relationship is worth saving), and for those whose partners have strayed into affairs or have been unfaithful all along. Through occasionally profane humor, Goldberg reminds readers that you can't change the person you're with and should never get into a relationship thinking that you can, that you should be aware of any red flags before you say "I do," that the kids always come first, and that any major lies usually come back around in the end. Goldberg's writing will appeal to women the most, but her counsel is geared toward both genders, all races, and all sexual orientations. Though the author is honest and usually spot-on, the narrative isn't much different from most standard self-help material.
Witty in the classic Goldberg mold, but most of this is common-sense stuff that can be found in a variety of popular magazines.

I have had a busy couple of months over Christmas and the New Year (i.e. all of January!!).
Firstly we went home for Christmas and I spent three blissful weeks in the crisp and cold of the UK seeing friends and family and I can honestly say I loved every minute of it. Now those of you who know me, also know that I would move back home to the UK at the click of a finger - but at the moment thats just not possible, so I have to dream and plan for the moment.
However one thing is that we are all pretty sure that we would like to settle in the South West! We stayed in Bath for a week to see our daughter who is at Uni there, and my love for the city increased even more. At one point I worked in Bath (many moons ago now!) and I just adore the place and the people, not to mention to vibe of the arts and food - I also absolutely adore the amount of independent shops and businesses there are there in the creative sphere, from artisan bread makers to the fabulous yarn shops Wool Bath and A Yarn Story. Sadly I did not bring any yarn home this time, mostly due to lack of suitcase space (we travelled VERY light this time!) and also because I am now on the preparation offensive - i.e. at the moment I probably need a WHOLE shipping container for my yarn and thats going to be costly! So 2017 is all about #activestashappreciation (more of that later). Now I really don't think I am going to be able to afford some grand townhouse in the Royal Crescent (which is close to the apartment we stayed in) but a nice house with a garden a couple of miles away would suit me just fine!
|We stayed in the third house from the right with the bay trees by the door - magical!
Since we have been back from the UK the weather has really cooled down here in the UAE and so much so that I have actually had to wear cardigans and sweaters (hurrah!). I love this time of year, but sadly it does not last long and then we get the odd day where we have a Shamal and a sandstorm - we necessitates another two days cleaning the house and getting sand from places that you never expected. This morning we had a lovely sunrise and red sky - I was up early for the school run as usual and it is really beautiful in a different way to the hoar frost in Bath......sigh........
So bearing in mind the container issue above - I think for the first half of 2017 at the very least I am looking to work from my Stash. I love my stash so this is really no hardship! Jo from the Shinybees podcast has been talking about how to reinvent your stash with new uses and new stories as a challenge (well in the loosest sense of the word!) and I have taken some Patons Wool Blend DK which I had bought about 4 years ago for a Union Jack Cushion cover. Two things happened - firstly I made a mistake in the cushion which caused me to throw it back to the recess of the cupboard and secondly I had somehow managed to order double the amount I needed - Duh!!
So as I had no Crochet project on the go I decided to prowl Pinterest - and how many rabbit holes have I fallen down as a result of that in the past - and found some lovely neutral blankets. The stash I had was all in muted neutral tones of grey with two skeins of what I could term 'natural'. So then I found a large openwork granny square which I really liked and Hey Presto - a new WIP was born! My lounge is predominently grey and as we only have air con and no heating, this time of year can get a bit chilly in the evenings so this will be perfect! Slight flaw in this plan is that perhaps it will be hot again by the time I finish it!
Anyway I will keep you posted.
Don't forget to come and find me on my other social media platforms you can use the link at the top to see me on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest.
Please do come and join the Facebook page, would love to see you and I am taking part in the #yarnlovechallenge over on Instagram which I am loving! Just shows what a great community of knitters we have xxxx

The steam plant at the Hanford vitrification plant will be ready to start up as soon as it's needed, said Bechtel National.
Completing construction on the steam plant met a court-enforced consent decree requirement, and both the Department of Energy and the Washington State Department of Ecology have agreed that the requirement has been met.
The steam plant is one of about 20 buildings on the vitrification plant campus that will support the four main facilities at the plant that are central to turning radioactive and hazardous chemical waste into a stable glass form for disposal.
The 11,000-square-foot building contains six boilers that will supply high- and low-pressure steam to the plant, said Tony Veirup, Bechtel National area project manager for the plant's Analytical Laboratory and support buildings.
Digital Access for only $0.99
For the most comprehensive local coverage, subscribe today.
Steam with a pressure of 25 to 35 pounds per square inch will be used to heat the four main facilities at the plant -- the Pretreatment, High Level Waste and Low Activity Waste Facilities and the Analytical Laboratory.
Steam with a pressure of 135 pounds per square inch will be used to transfer liquids from one tank to another within the Pretreatment and High Level Waste Facilities. It also will be used to decontaminate the canisters of glassified high level radioactive waste before they leave the plant.
The waste is left from the past production of plutonium for the nation's nuclear weapons program.
At full capacity, the steam plant will produce 207,000 pounds of steam per hour, enough to heat nine buildings the size of the Empire State Building, according to Bechtel.
It's expected to be used first to supply heat for the Analytical Laboratory and Low Activity Waste Facility. The Department of Energy is required to begin treating waste in 2019, but may start treating low activity waste before the entire plant is ready to operate.
The steam plant still needs to be prepared for operation, starting with bringing up the low and medium voltage power systems and then flushing the piping systems to make sure they are clean.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 RC1
Accessing drives in Windows Explorer takes a long time
I'm not sure why this is happening, but if I attempt to open a drive in Windows Explorer, it takes a really long time (sometimes several minutes). It takes that long for the progress bar on the address bar to fill up. Does anyone know why this would be?
|My System Specs
|09 Feb 2009
Vista Ult 64 bit Seven Ult RTM x64
I have only noticed this the first time or two that I open drives that where used by Vista and the Vista OS partition itself. Places with large numbers of files not created in 7 to start with. Explorer apparently needs to index these files so that it knows what's there to begin with. Hasn't happened here for a while. Yes if the partition (drive) is large it can take a few minutes. I would think mapping a network drive would have a similar process as windows discovers what all is available there.
|My System Specs

XP/win7 x86 build 7127
other than the stated above, depending on your setup and installed programs of course, check the power management making sure you drives dont go to sleep on you so fast or at all.

It's a compromise, but you can turn of the Windows search service. I have little use for it , but many have. It speeds up things to normality.

Vista Ult 64bit - Windows 7 Ult 7264 64bit
This happens when Explorer has a problem reading the data, and the progress bar shows this by moving slowly.
Most of the time when I see this (Vista or W7), it's usually a CD or DVD and it ends up having a bad block or two (or 7,465 of them..). Is this a removeable storage media by any chance?
I've also seen this happen with HDD partitions and usually when they contain media files, pictures, music, videos.
Check your event viewer next time this happens and report anything that could be related at the time this happened.

windows xp/ 7
Accessing the drives is taking a long time on my system also. I was able to right click on the drive and open a new window to get to my files without having to for the index - temp fix while I troubleshoot.

Here are two options that are sure to speed up your drive access, though make sure you have a UPS if you enable advanced performance.
Internal Drive
Right-click Computer, click properties, on the left click Device Manager.
Unfold the "Disk drives" tree (click the +), then right-click your drive, and go to the Policies tab at the top.
Under "Enable write caching on the disk" you will see "Enable advanced performance," tick the checkbox.
External Drive
(Do not forcefully disconnect your external drive if you follow this, always use the "Safely Remove Hardware" option from Windows)
Follow the above steps, but this time (under the Policies tab) tick "Optimize for performance"
That should speed some things up.. I don't think that there are any power saving mechanisms that could render slow disk access, I could be wrong though
Also, I've found Explorer to be slow when the wrong type of folder is assumed. For example, my "Installers" folder on my external drive had the assumed folder type of "Music and video," it would try to load meta data from executables, making it a tad slower. Changing the folder type to All Documents sped things up a little bit, and eliminated useless columns.

Turn off 'windows Search/Indexing' service and you will notice your system flies along
It's a real big system hog that thing, and does nothing but speed up file search. For the extra 10secs it loses in search, I'd rather have more response 24/7. First thing I disable on Win7 or Vista.

Windows 7 Home Premium - 64 bit
Found an alternative cause - worked for me.
I just found this post, whilst trying to find out why my speedy W7 PC was acting like a pensioner, when I clicked on a folder on my external drive.
I tried out all of the above, with no success, unfortunately.
I have a Seagate Freeagent USB2 - with a few folders of varying content. Most of the folders opened swiftly, irrespective of their size & contents. However, I have a folder to keep mainly movies in. Mainly, being the operative word here.
The strange thing was, if I looked at the folder inside my Network (whilst in Windows Explorer) .... the folder opened and showed all contents instantly! Back to looking at it under ''Computer'' ... and the explorer bar scanned for ages before letting me see things ???? .... strange.
Whilst going through all of the above suggestions, I happened to notice that in the properties of the folder ( Properties / Customize ) .... that the option was set to ''optimize this folder for ... Videos''.
However, I know that there are other items in there that are not videos! I changed the option to ''General items'' and ticked the ''Also apply this template to all subfolders''.
Voila.... problem solved !!
When I went back to the shared folder and checked the properties .... it was set to ''General items''. Wish I'd noticed it before, ..... so thought I'd post it here incase anyone else had the same situation

Come 2017 and the rhino poachers in India might not gee-horning a rhino that easily. Dehradun-based Wildlife Institute of India (WII) along with WWF India, the environment ministry and state governments of Assam, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh have come together to implement a unique project for DNA indexing of rhinos. This move, it is hoped will help investigate poaching incidents and implicate those involved with proper evidence.
Help From South Africa
The wildlife department of the three states will use RhoDIS, a rhino indexing system developed in South Africa. This system helps by profiling each individual rhino's DNA and compiling it into a ready to reference database. This database serves as precious evidence in a court to prove that a horn seized from poachers belonged to a particular poached rhino. To be precise, this system provides irrefutable testimony to the link between the rhino horns in the possession of poachers and a rhino that was found to have been poached and thus ensures that the poachers are meted out the sentence for their illegal activities. This system is already being used effectively in South Africa in rhino poaching cases to investigate and prosecute offenders.
The system is likely to come into effect in early 2017 after the protocol on standard practice for DNA sample collection has been prepared. The WII will be used as the official lab for storage of rhino DNA database. The state governments on their part will send samples of each rhino to be individually indexed. The sample could be dung, tissue or hair of each rhino.

DNA to nab poachers
Mr.Samrat Mondal, a scientist at WII explains the process and how it would help. Every time a poacher is apprehended with the evidence (in this case –rhino horn), it is sent for DNA testing. This result is matched with the DNA database at WII to determine the details such as the area to which the poached rhino belonged.
According to him, these results would prove to be legal evidence in court without which they would easily escape the clutches of the law.
Amit Sharma, senior coordinator of WWF India for Rhino conservation, agreed with Mondal. "The conviction in wildlife crime in India is negligible. A forensic approach in rhino poaching incidents under RhoDIS will definitely improve the conviction rate in such cases and help curb such incidents."
Rhino conservation is very important as Kaziranga National Park (KNP) in Assam is the most important reserve for one-horned rhino. In a short time span of the last five years, about 90 rhinos have been poached in KNP.
This year 16 rhinos have been poached in Assam and 12 rhinos in West Bengal were victims of poaching in the last two years.
WWF statistics state that the one-horned rhino once ranged from northern Pakistan, across most of northern India, Nepal, northern Bangladesh and Myanmar. They were on the brink of extinction in the 20th century. By 1975, only 600 of the species remained in the wild in India and Nepal. Conservation efforts over the decades from then have seen their numbers steadily rise to 3500 in the Terai Arc Landscape of India and Nepal and the grasslands of Assam and North Bengal.

Actor Steve Guttenberg regrets turning down the lead role in disaster movie "Sharknado" now it has become an unexpected hit – twice.
The "Police Academy" and "Three Men & A Baby" star tells HuffPost Live he was offered the part of Fin, the shark-killing hero in the franchise eventually played by Ian Ziering, but turned the role down because he thought the plot was too outlandish and didn't live up to his personal standards.
He admits, "I got to tell you, I made a mistake. I turned down 'Sharknado.' They (producers) came to me, and I should've done it because it was a huge hit. It was a crazy movie.
"I read it (the script), and told everyone about it, you know, this is nuts, with fish flying out of the air! But it didn't fit with me. After seeing the movie, I had a great time, and I saw the second one and it was a ball."
And Guttenberg goes on to reveal that "Sharknado" wasn't the only hit he passed on – he also turned down offers to star in movies including "Ghostbusters 2" and "Big."
He says, "I have turned down a bunch of things, but I try to forget about them because my net worth would be so high right now. I would be on a beach drinking beers right now.
"But you can't do everything. There was a period of 15 years where I would work every day of the year. I was very very lucky. I carried every single one of the movies I was in. And they all made a lot of money. But you can't do every movie."
Meanwhile, the first "Sharknado" became a TV and social media phenomenon when it debuted in 2013, and Ian Ziering was back to break Syfy network ratings records when the sequel, "The Second One," debuted last week.

Title says it all, really, I'm not asking for much.
Recently, my girlfriend asked about what languages were good for a beginner to learn. Her sister is interested in computers and is going to be going to community college soon, and wants (or at least, is wanted) to prepare for possible classes in programming by learning a simple language which will teach her the fundamentals.
Myself, being born of a number of languages, Common Lisp and VB6 as well as others, immediately thought, "Scheme." I soon realized though that, if this girl is going to community college, chances are they don't really want to teach her to be a brilliant, deep thinking, professorial type of person, but rather a run-of the mill, decent, get the job frakking done coder. Now I want to say, run-of-the-mill coders are not run-of-the-mill intelligent people, they are often orders of magnitude smarter than most. Maybe I'm bias, but to give some perspective, I consider my father, who has a Bachelors degree from Northeastern University in Boston, and about 25 years of experience in the field, to be a run-of-the-mill coder. There is noone on the planet who I think is smarter than my father, not even me. Now that you have that nice perspective thing. Realize that though Scheme is a wonderful language for learning about CS as Theory, and even Math to some extent. It presents an unfortunately distorted world view. In the real world, we write code in an imperative style (though thats slowly changing, and I'm quite happy of that). In the real world, we write code in C, Java, or similar languages. In the real world, we write mostly object oriented code. In the real world, we generally solve problems iteratively using arrays as a principal data-structure– not recursively with lists as a principal data-structure. So I said to my girlfriend, "Well, you have a few options." I continued to think about what makes a good languages, heres my list:
- Easy to Setup
Chance are, if this is your first programming language ever, you might not understand all the intricacies of setting up a compiler/editor chain, or an IDE, or whatever, so this is obviously critical. You can't use a language you can't set up. This is why languages like VB are so popular, in my day, Visual Studio was trivial to install and use, and thats why I used it. I could have just as easily learned C or C++, my brain was plenty big enough for them, but I couldn't grasp all the arcane mysticism of the GCC compiler at that time, so how was I supposed to do anything? In this area, I think Scheme beats Java, Notably, mzscheme's DrScheme, which I still use when I write scheme code. It is an excellent, intuitive IDE for Scheme, It just works. It's as easy (if not easier) than VS was to install, and I really wish I had found it before Dad's copy of VS. Java, though I think a better "real world" option, is a little tougher to set up, obviously a editor/compiler chain, though a wonderful, no-frills way to write code, is not necessarily as intuitive to a complete beginner as a nice IDE. Since Eclipse (admittedly, the only Java IDE I've ever used) is not designed (like DrScheme is) to be used as a learning tool, there are alot of superfluous things that I, as a seasoned Java programmer, might use, but to a beginner, these things are just clutter. Clutter, as far as I'm concerned, means confusion.
- Good Errors
I've known many languages in my time, and many– many of them had the worst, most inconceivably bad error messages in the world. It's getting better, but even now — with languages designed for teaching, like haskell– the error messages are archaic and often unreadable. Now mind you, they are only such to the uninitiated haskellers, and as such, I don't have a problem with trying to decipher "ambiguous type variables" and type errors and other such things. But to a beginner, all these kind of errors perpetrate is the myth that writing code is hard, and something that should be left to the realm of the ubergeek. So my opinion here is pretty standard, Good Errors => Good Beginner language.
- Results Oriented
So, by now, you probably want to know what I thought was the best language to learn, well- I didn't pick just one, but for what its worth, here is my list of the top few good beginner languages:
- HTML/Javascript
- Python
- Ruby
- Scheme or Java
- Other Web Languages (PHP, ASP, etc)
- Perl
- Haskell/Erlang/ML et al
- Assembler?
Those rate from one being the absolute best language I think a beginner should learn to 10 being the absolute worst language for a beginner, I split up C/C++ because the object oriented stuff in C++ makes it even more complicated than just C alone with its pointers. Between gcc's mild, jovial inanity, and pointers, makes C just a little to tough to make me think it's a good option for a beginner. I want to mention that I am not judging these languages absolutely, I know most of them (though I have considerably less experience than I would like in most of them) and think that they are all quite wonderful. I'd especially like to learn Python soon. It's been a while since I picked up an imperative language.
Oh, by that way– I only tossed Assembler on the list to make the list an even ten. Assembler is a terribly confusing subject to the uninitiated, and makes a good +infinity on the list. I suppose the list should also have a 0, which would be the metamagical mythical languages of "JustRight" where no matter what you type, there are never any bugs, it compiles and runs in optimal space and time, all NP problems become P, and magical unicorns prance in fields of cotton candy and happiness outside your cube.
Then again, you could argue JustRight would present a distorted realworld view too.

My mother was working in Rochester, NY during the 1940s. When America went to war, she joined the Red Cross Motor Corps as a volunteer driver.
Back then, Rochester was known as the "imaging capital of America" because it was home to industries and Universities that specialized in optical science–technologies that became integral to the war production effort. Parts of the Norden bomb sight used in many Allied planes, along with the radio delay fuse and other components used by the military were all manufactured in town.
On my mother's days off she was called on to transport military or civilian personnel from the airport or railroad station to these companies and industries, or to the Air Force Materiel Command building.
The volunteer drivers were required to attend classes in automotive mechanics. I remember my mother saying that although she KNEW how to change a tire, she was glad she never had to do so. But she almost flunked carburetors! She also recalled that sometimes you were told who you were driving, but sometimes not. If not, you didn't ask, you just drove. The "loose lips sink ships" rule applied here too. There were also memories of blackouts and possible sabotage threats as some of the Rochester items were vital to the war effort.
In spite of the war, or perhaps because of it, people made friendships they never might have otherwise, and people felt good about themselves for contributing in some way on the Home Front. Life went on, although it changed dramatically.
—Mary Clark
More about the Red Cross Motor Corps, from the Red Cross Museum:
Nationally, the "Motor Corps consisted almost entirely of women who clocked over 61 million miles answering nine million calls to transport the sick and wounded, deliver supplies, and take volunteers and nurses to and from their posts. In all, nearly 45,000 women served in the Motor Corps during World War II. Most drove their own cars and many completed training in auto mechanics in order to be able to make automotive repairs on their own."

Saturday we went to an arts and craft show in Marietta's Cherokee Heights.
We saw our friend Rachel Frey working a booth . She had a sweets booth amd we have a sweet tooth. She and her friend were selling and handing out chocolate fudge samples in various make-ups. The samples were delicious. We also bought a little box of fudge.
A few years ago at the Marietta Tour of Homes, aka, Marietta Pilgrimage, the Trammell House on Trammell Street was listed for the tour. I couldn't wait. I read all about its original owner, Leander Newton Trammell. He was a state representative and also president of the state owned railway system. He is a cousin.
I think the Trammell House was one of our first stops. There were notices that no photography would be allowed in the homes. Of course, with me being a cousin to the original owner, I didn't think that applied to me. I clicked away.
A slim dark headed lady with a big 35mm with a super looking lens, who was also taking pictures said, "You are not allowed to take pictures here."
I more or less said it was OK, I was related to the original owner. Then she more or less told me it wasn't OK, because she was the present owner.
Her name was Rachel. We talked and became friends.
Click on any of the cards below to make it larger and readable:
She told me they did some very detailed work to make it look the time period that Leander N. Trammell knew it as. It was a job but it was probably easier for her husband Doug who is an architect and knows the history and styles of grand house details. As a matter of fact, Doug is publishing a book soon about the some of the grand and classic houses of Marietta and their eccentricities.
I think, Rachel and my daughter-in-law Sabrina have some things in common:
They are both hard working trying to get their sweet shop off the ground. And they have both played big parts in movies.

Samcro will miss the Lawlor's Of Naas Novice Hurdle on Sunday after producing a scope not totally to the satisfaction of connections.
The much-talked-about six-year-old has looked an exciting prospect in winning his two starts over hurdles and was one of eight of the 15 possibles representing owners Gigginstown House Stud and trainer Gordon Elliott.
"Gordon called me a short while ago and told me the horse scoped ordinary. He now won't run," said Gigginstown's racing manager Eddie O'Leary. "It's not a bad scope. Hopefully he'll run at the winter festival in Leopardstown (in February).
"We've got plenty in it (at Naas), so we'll run what we can on Sunday."
Having been installed as the odds-on favourite when the race was priced up on Tuesday, Samcro had been overtaken at the head of the ante-post market by the Willie Mullins-trained Next Destination, who was an easy winner of the Grade Two Navan Novice Hurdle last month.

You know how people with a malignant cancer await death to put them out of their misery, or search for the silver lining in the form of a human hand overcome by euthanasia? I felt precisely that way as I sat through the movie waiting for Johnny Depp to rescue the movie along with the "damsel in distress" (Orlando Bloom), and as it became increasingly clear that that wouldn't happen, I broke out of my atheistic state and started praying for a Miltonesque fire to burn down the theater.
The movie starts off on a very somber note with the execution of many pirates, the scene ending with a child breaking into a song with a fake British accent and hideous pirates joining in. The director, Gore Verbinski, fresh from a spring internship with the noted Indian director Karan Johar, must have really impressed his mentor as tears rolled down the despicable faces of grown pirate men. I was half expecting Spiderman to jump in, save the child and join in the sorrow, but he disappointed me for a second time this summer. The original music from the first movie is inspirational enough to distract you from stealing popcorn from the person sleeping beside you.
Kiera Knightly looks adequately spunky with her high cheekbones sufficiently tanned and matching her fiery attitude throughout the movie. Unfortunately, the damsel in distress, Orlando Bloom's attitude was as pale as the sand in some of the beautiful locations the film was shot in. Verbinksi went a step further than his mentor Johar in order to embody twenty-first century feminism in this epic two hour forty minute Rajdhani journey by showing an aggressive female lead and a homosexual (err, weak) male one.
Johnny Depp delivers comedy very effectively through some abstract backdrops in the movie, making you wonder whether they would have been better off being just single acts on Saturday Night Live. The actors playing members of his crew are funny as their great chemistry is justified after three movies together. Bill Nighy is accurately disgusting as usual as Captain Davy Jones. Chow Yun Fat overacts most of the time in a role which is totally different from anything else he has done in his career. Naomie Harris as Calypso has hardly any screen presence, leave alone that of a goddess, and Stellan Skarsgård as Bootstrap drags his acting, much like the movement of the starfish stuck to his face. Keith Richards makes a powerful entry in the movie and is good, till Verbinski, again as a sign of homage to his mentor – the great Karan Johar, makes him strum a classical guitar in a Victorian Romeo style. The world council of pirates are hilarious, especially Mistress Ching with her mannerisms and the Sikh Bhangra pirates.
Geoffrey Rush steals the show from Johnny Depp in this one. He strikes the right combination of villainy, comedy or aggressiveness as the inimitable Captain Barbosa, and I am glad they actually brought his character back to life in the second movie. Tom Hollander is also very good as the ruthless and stone cold Lord Beckett.I am told the movie has one of those publicity stunts where they have a 30 second scene after the credits roll, but even that cannot prevent it from scoring a disappointing 4/10 in my book.

Ekphrasis goes back as far as Homer's Iliad when the poet devoted a long passage to Achilles' shield. This reference was used centuries later in WH Auden's poem, "The Shield of Achilles."
An ekphrastic poem can work in different ways. Certainly, one approach is for the words of the poem to explain or analyze what is happening in the painting, either in the overall painting or in one or two of the details. Another method is to use the painting/photo/print/sculpture as a stepping stone and to go your own way into a poem, that is, to transcend the original idea of the artwork and move in a different direction so your poem becomes its own entity.
There are several possible avenues to take when writing more than merely a descriptive poem about a particular artwork.
1. Enter the painting's setting and make its spirit and space your own.
2. Explore the life or essence of the artist.
3. Give your emotional response to the artwork (Does it remind you about something in your life, past or present?)
4. Speak the poem as someone or something in the art object (possibly have them address the artist.
5. Speak the poem as the artist.
6. Address the poem to the artist and ask questions.
7. Write about what happened just before (or just after) the event in the photograph or painting.

Chris Buescher won Saturday's NASCAR Nationwide Series race from the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, OH.
The driver of the No. 60 Ford Mustang finished ahead of Regan Smith and Brian Scott.
Beginning the Nationwide Children's Hospital 200 on the pole was Sam Hornish Jr. but his day went away just past the midway point with engine trouble. Brian Scott led a good portion of the race early on but was forced to pit road with grass on his grill on lap 60.
In the end it was Buescher, who stayed out of troble, being able to stretch his gas mileage and claim the win.

Lifetime and Annual Benefits Caps
I hope it is clear pre-existing protections #2 and #3 are just as vital as #1. What good would it do to have the legal option to purchase a health insurance plan with an astronomical price tag that is completely unaffordable? Along the same lines, what good is it to be able to purchase an insurance plan, if insurers are legally allowed to carve out (exclude) vital coverage for your cystic fibrosis/diabetes/cancer? These 3 protections were designed to WORK TOGETHER to protect the most vulnerable in our society. I'm deeply concerned about the current political banter regarding pre-existing conditions because it usually sounds something like this...
I've heard some discussion about the use of "high-risk pools," as a method of insuring those with pre-existing conditions after the repeal of the ACA. This is a strategy that has been utilized in the past (before the ACA), and was a costly disaster for people with cystic fibrosis. If you think premiums are high now...wait until you are dependent on the high-risk pool rates--they are the highest of all!!! High risk patients means high priced premiums--so high that they were completely out of range for many who needed it most. I would encourage those who experienced coverage under a "high-risk pool plan" prior to the ACA to leave a comment. Past experience with this strategy has proven that reducing coverage options to high-risk pools for those with pre-existing conditions was NOT AFFORDABLE, ADEQUATE, or ACCESSIBLE. The failure to provide good healthcare under high-risk pool plans was one of the very reasons why the pre-existing protections were included in the ACA. We absolutely don't want to go backward with our rights to access better coverage plans at lower rates than those offered to high-risk pools.
If you or someone you love is living with cystic fibrosis or ANY OTHER CHRONIC DISEASE REQUIRING TREATMENT, I hope that you are convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that changes to healthcare policy will have a personal impact. RIGHT NOW it is a critical time to be a part of healthcare policy discussions, and make our lawmakers aware of how these coverage issues will impact the CF community. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE follow this link to tell Congress to protect your coverage. You don't need to be a policy expert...the most powerful thing we can do is share personal experiences on why coverage is so vital for those with CF. We need your voice to ensure that healthcare policy changes don't become a painful "sucker punch" to our beloved community.
***For the record, I understand that high insurance premiums are a concern for many American families whether cystic fibrosis is part of the picture or not. I am not saying that this is not an important issue... but it is a FACT that rising premiums were an issue long before the ACA. I understand that the cost of premiums is prohibitive for many, and we aren't giving up on advocating for lower cost coverage!! The issues I've outlined in this blog, rather, represent the portions of the ACA that would be the most catastrophic for those with CF if repealed (which we anticipate early this year) without appropriate replacement.

Maria López holds up some of the coffee cherries she picked in her day's work on La Revancha Coffee Estate, a fair trade farm in Nicaragua. "I have worked 10 years here," she says. "With fair trade, we get a [fair]price from our work. We are being trained to do our work better."
With World Fair Trade Day coming up on May 10, it's a fitting time to celebrate all the good that fair trade can do—and has done—for workers like Maria around the world. Fair trade means fair wages, safe working conditions, equal employment opportunities and environmentally sustainable practices. However, La Revancha is still one of only a few fair trade certified coffee estates in Latin America.
As Catholics, the Gospel calls us to respect the dignity of workers. Catholic Relief Services offers an ethical purchasing program that helps people, parishes and schools coordinate fair trade sales in their own communities at a 20 percent discount. You can also shop for coffee, chocolate and artisan gifts online at equalexchange.coop/crs or serrv.org/crs. With every purchase, CRS' partners donate a percentage of the sale price to the CRS Fair Trade Fund.
Recently, CRS and its partners provided $24,900 to support renovations for six olivewood workshops in the Holy Land. As a result, 225 people now work in properly ventilated, safe environments where they handcraft nativities and crosses. To read more about fair trade or to learn how you can get involved, visit crsfairtrade.org.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Jurors in the U.S. trial of Mehmet Hakan Atilla, an executive at Turkey's majority state-owned Halkbank who is charged with helping Iran evade U.S. sanctions, asked in a note on Wednesday what they should do if they agree on some of the charges against Atilla but not others.
Atilla is charged with bank fraud, money laundering and four separate conspiracy charges. U.S. District Judge Richard Berman said he would tell the jury in response to the note that they should continue deliberating and try to reach a verdict.
Wednesday was the jury's fourth day deliberating on the case, which has strained diplomatic relations between the United States and Turkey.
At the centre of the three-week trial was testimony from Turkish-Iranian gold trader Reza Zarrab, who pleaded guilty to charges of violating sanctions and testified for U.S. prosecutors.
Zarrab testified that Atilla helped design fraudulent transactions of gold and food that allowed Iran to spend its oil and gas revenues abroad, including through U.S. financial institutions, defying U.S. sanctions.
Zarrab also implicated Turkish officials in the scheme, including President Tayyip Erdogan.
Attempts to reach Erdogan's spokesman for comment on the allegations at the trial have been unsuccessful. Erdogan has publicly dismissed the case as a politically motivated attack on his government.
Atilla has denied all of the charges against him.
Halkbank has denied taking part in any illegal transactions.
U.S. prosecutors charged nine people in the criminal case, though only Zarrab, 34, and Atilla, 47, were arrested by U.S. authorities.

THE latest third-quarter results for Cambodia's struggling mobile phone sector showed the situation for many continues to go from bad to worse.
First TeliaSonera, the parent company of Star-Cell, wrote down more than US$100 million of goodwill on its Cambodia operations. Then at the end of last month Axiata did the same to the tune of $15.7 million for its subsidiary Hello.
Meanwhile Vimpelcom, the operator of Beeline, continued to struggle over the same period, according to financial results. Posting quarterly results that were "below expectations", Beeline said it was confident that its Cambodian business "will be on track by the end of the year".
So far this year, however, Beeline has increasingly struggled. Recording just $3.5 average revenue per user in the first quarter, already a staggeringly low rate even for Asia, Beeline's ARPU was down again to just $3.2. By comparison, in Kyrgyzstan the firm generated $5.6 per user and $4.1 in Uzbekistan, the next lowest performers for Vimpelcom.
This data suggests that Cambodia's fickle mobile-phone users continue to switch between operators for the best deals, leaving firms here amongst the lowest revenues per user in the world.
As a result, profitability for most companies in the sector remains a distant dream.
More worrying perhaps for Beeline – and certainly more confusing for the market – are the companies user numbers which showed a near-4 percent decline in subscribers, but which contradict official government data.
Beeline reported in its official results that it had some 505,000 users in the third quarter, which represented a decrease on the 525,000 users announced for the second quarter. However, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications reported that Beeline had less than half this number of active SIM cards in the second quarter at just 256,542 users. The ministry has not released third-quarter figures.
Just how bad are Beeline's user numbers? Well, we don't know. Socheata Nhem, head of public relations at Beeline, declined to discuss the discrepancy yesterday and General Director Gael Campan was unavailable for comment.
Whatever the real scenario, Beeline was sixth in the mobile market during first quarter, according to government figures, and seventh in the second quarter. It's another sign Beeline is struggling in Cambodia's hyper-competitive mobile phone sector. And looking at third-quarter figures released by other firms, it is certainly not alone.

So this month I got my inspiration from a feature in my very favourite magazine Cloth, Paper, Scissors, an American publication I have subscribed to for a couple of years. Why I love the magazine is because it is full of inspirational mixed-media projects such as felting, collage, journalling, paper-making, embroidery, painting, jewellery making, book art and really just about anything creative using cloth, paper and scissors.
Being an American publication of course, all the specialist branded products for the projects are American but I don't find this a problem as most of them can be found in the UK anyway at all good art supply shops or on the internet such as Art Van Go (who are always at The Festival of Quilts and which just happens to be on at the NEC this coming week - an ideal excuse then for a rummage and to stock up on textile related art supplies). Any product that can't be sourced you will find that there is usually a British alternative and you might also just need to get used to different terminology for things such as for example wadding is known as batting but you soon get used to it. This project was about creating poetic ruffles using recycled fabrics so I used DH's cast-off shirts to create another shirt pocket and if you look inside the pocket there is a hidden poem I have embroidered.

The Black Experience: The NAACP Youth
Friday evening the Kingky Sistahs of NWF and the NAACP Youth Council of Pensacola presented The Black Experience 2014, A Black History Tribute to many African American figures who has greatly impacted the African American culture at the Woodland Heights Neighborhood Resource Center.
First paying tribute to Madame C J Walker, the first Black female millionaire, the hosts Tyrin Moorer and Brandon Robinson then quizzed the audience on their knowledge of Black History. Asking questions such as "who was responsible for creating peanut butter" to which business was not located in the Belmont/DeVilliers area in the early days" made everyone, young and old, put on their thinking caps.
The Fashion Show, given by the NAACP Youth Council and KSNWF , paid tribute to history makers including Jackie Robinson, the first African American Baseball Player that was entered into the hall of fame, Angela Davis, a member of the Black Panthers who also was a member of the Communist Party, Dianna Ross, the lead singer of the famous Supremes and the Obama Family, the first African American Presidential family in the White House.
The final performance was given by Poetic Phraze and Q.

The nineties kids have taken up a habit of showcasing the important aspects of the era through posting their childhood memories on the social media. So, as a 90's myself, hailing from the city of joy, Kolkata, I am here to write about my childhood experiences with two of the most happening amusement parks of our childhood, The Science City and the Nicco Park. I still remember the days from my childhood, when I used to make plans with my father to take us to these two esteemed amusement parks, which served as the weekend and holiday destination of each kid of the town. Science City and Nicco parks, were impossible to be visited on the same day, because face it, once you get at any of the two, you will lose yourself in joyous wonderment of science. Science can be enlightening as well as joyful at the same time, and this notion had been substantiated with the establishment of these amusement parks. Alongside colorful candies, manually operated toys, soft toys and story books, we also grew eager to visit these two mighty places and gossip about our experiences of visiting these places to our classmates and neighborhood friends.
Today, when the kids, as well as the grown-ups, await the details of their favorite movies, serial seasons, movies, digital gadgets and the communicating devices, we as the 90's kids awaited the launch of any new ride or shows in both of these amusement parks. Science City and Nicco Park will always be closer to our hearts, because, hey! We used to study hard and acquire good grades so that our parents can take us there for the next memorable outing that we can talk of or discuss with our bosom buddies. In this article, I have jotted won the history of the establishments of Nicco Park and Science City, which marked a new era in the amusement park industry of the erstwhile India of 1990's.

The History of Science City and its essential aspects for the 90's kids
Science City in Kolkata is considered to be the largest center of science in Indian sub-continent. This is registered under the National Council of Science Museums, which in turn lies under the umbrella of Ministry of Culture. This was opened in the year 1997. Science City comprises of two separate buildings, the convention center, and the science center. By the very name, you can understand the fact that Science City this theme park is dedicated to the contributions of India in the field of science. But hey! Do not think of it as a boring park which speaks of the boring scientists and their creations. Because one mind-boggling fact is still not have been mentioned over here and that is, the entire park is themed on the aspects of the Jurassic Age. Now it sounds intriguing, right? Well, it is, because if you get the chance to step into this mighty amusement park dedicated to the contributions of science, you will be elated to find a gigantic statue of the Tyrannosaurus Rex at the very entrance of the park. At this juncture, it is extremely important to mention that nearly all kids had a typically mixed feeling of fear and excitement whenever they visited the park. Even when we used to pass by the road in front of the amusement park, we huddled our head from the transport to get a good glance at the creature. The Science City is divided into many building like The Space Odyssey, Evolution themed park, hall of dynamotion, Science ark, and the Maritime Center. Alongside coming in close contact with the scientific aspects of the Earth, we also enjoyed the small roller coasters, caterpillar rides, toy trains and many such amusement rides, which used to give joy to the kids, who were even younger than us, that is the tiny tots.
The park also has lots of other attractions in the form of butterfly park, mirror house, illusion rooms, three-dimensional vision theatre, space theatre and my all-time favorite, even now, the mighty ride called the Time Machine that took the travellers to a quick motion trip inside the Egypt's Pyramids, and even made us encounter the Egyptian God of Death, Anubis. The tickets in the park are reasonable and affordable, and the vast expanse of the greeneries allowed the visitors to sit and relax and soak in the warmth of the setting Sun in the evening.

The history of Nicco Park and its essential aspects
Much before Kolkata was turned into a hub of the laser tag fields, arcades of gaming, and even the go karting tracks, Nicco Park was two of the most significant amusement parks alongside the Science above City. This establishment, unlike the other one, was dedicated to the visitors who wanted to ride the wave of excitement on many of the top-notch rides. Let me tell you, Nicco Park was the Disneyland for us. Period. Nicco Park was established in the year 1991, on the 13th day of October. And as I mentioned earlier, the media back then, termed it as the Disney Land of the West Bengal.
This mighty amusement park is spread around 40 acres of land in the posh area of Salt Lake, with 40 different attractive rides. It is said that, till date, Nicco Park has served around 25 million visitors. I still remember that during my school days the teachers organized various excursions to this place. As mentioned earlier, with almost forty rides the Nicco Park comprises of some popular rides like Water Coaster, Pirate Ship, Toy Train, Magic Carpet, Paddle Boat, Tilt-a-whirl, Moonraker, Magic Carpet, Water Chute, Ice land and my favorite, Cyclone. In fact, Cyclone is till date, the largest and the highest wood made roller coaster of the Eastern India. Cyclone has the total length of 750 meters and has the highest drop feet of 55 meters. So pack your bags and get your family along with you to enjoy the biggest amusement parks in the sweetest part of India.

Man Utd in danger of missing out on £36m Juan Cuadrado
MANCHESTER UNITED are in danger of missing out on Fiorentina star Juan Cuadrado, with Barcelona now leading the race for his signature.
The Colombian wing-back has become one of the most highly sought-after players in the transfer window, attracting interest from the Red Devils and Louis Van Gaal.
The Dutchman is looking to ditch wingers including Nani and Shinji Kagawa as he switches to a new formation with just three defenders at the back, and wants Cuadrado to take up the role of 'wing-back' on the right-hand side of the pitch, with Luke Shaw on the left.
Cuadrado is yet to decide whether or not to stay in Italy this summer, and the player held talks with his club yesterday as they attempt to conclude the saga.
Fiorentina are desperate to hold on to their star man as they look to compete with the likes of Juventus, Roma and Napoli for a place in the Champions League, although the Serie A outfit have admitted they'll sanction a move if Cuadrado wants out.
United were believed to be closing in on a £36million switch for the 26-year-old, but Spanish outlet Sport claims that Van Gaal's interest in Angel Di Maria has seen Barcelona jump the queue.
However, there is still hope for United as Barcelona are unable to make a move until they offload Brazil international Dani Alves, who is wanted by Inter Milan and Paris St-Germain.
Fiorentina have stated they want Cuadrado's future decided within the next week, and United will have to move quickly if they want to pip Barcelona to his signature.

Jersey hospital brings in locums for night pathology service
Scientists have been brought in to run the out-of-hours pathology service at Jersey's hospital after a pay dispute.
The Jersey health department says it is trying to modernise the service and part of that involves out of hours pay.
A review found while the pathology service was accurate, it was also slow, old-fashioned and expensive.
As a result the health department has hired an expert to bring it up to date. The changes include bringing overtime pay for biomedical staff down.
A Jersey hospital spokesman said the staff were getting significantly more than their UK and Guernsey counterparts.
The 18 staff rejected the new offer and so the health department said it had no choice but to bring in temporary scientists from the UK to run the out-of-hours service for at least three months.
They are being given local orientation training and the health department says patients will not experience any changes to the quality of the pathology service.

In honor of Mother's Day we are spotlighting a beautiful and hard working Mother/Daughter team at our Scottsdale, AZ location at the Promenade Shopping Center. What a pleasure it is to share their work ethics and after-work activities. Mom, Christine and daughter, Ashley's beautiful personalities and hard working natures are such a benefit to our fabulous Scottsdale service team.
Picazzo's Mother's Day Special May 2016
POST to WIN $100 Gift Card! Post photo's of Mom's and food snapped and at one of Picazzo's five AZ locations during the month of May on 1) Instagram @ PicazzosItalian and 2) Twitter @ Picazzospizza and 3) Picazzo's Organic Italian Kitchen Facebook page to be eligible for a $100 Gift Card and be our first #Picazzo$Winner. Must use #PicazzosMothersDay Smiles, clarity and originality of the photo count! Questions? Contact email@example.com
Christine accepted a serving position with Picazzo's while attending Cosmetology school for hair styling. She chose that profession to develop a career for herself and it was something she thought she would really enjoy. Upon graduating from school, it didn't take long in the business to find out she really didn't like the responsibility of managing women's hair with them. A year and a half ago, a bartending position opened in Scottsdale and she jumped on that opportunity. She has discovered she loves bartending so much and that she has decided to create a career with Picazzo's.
Repeat guests actually call ahead to make sure she is bartending before they come in for lunch, healthy hour, or dinner. Christine builds her clientele with her friendly nature and by making the best drinks she can that her guests will enjoy. She really enjoys the creation and art of mixology.
She doesn't feel she is the "give advice" bartender, but her guests definitely like to come in and talk to her. Christine says her guests say they love atmosphere at Picazzo's bar and especially her single guests feel comfortable coming in by themselves because of the atmosphere and her service and drinks. She sees people more regularly than every 5-6 weeks for a hair cut or color.
Christine loves to make people happy. Her smile is contagious and her hair is always beautiful.
Her main attraction and escape from life are her animals. She has 1 horse, 2 dogs, 2 cats, a tortoise and a lizard. She spends as much time with them as possible. They bring her great joy and solitude.
Her daughter Ashley was 14 when Christine began working with Picazzo's. Christine said when Ashley was old enough to work, she told her mom she wanted to work at Picazzo's. Ashley is currently a hostess and has really grown in confidence and strives to be the "best" hostess at Picazzo's. She prides herself in always doing a great job. She loves to pick up as many shifts as she can.
Their manager, Sean Manning, said "They are always positive and have such nice smiles. They are equally reliable, long term employees and always come to work happy. They are both great with guests and display great attitudes and dispositions."
Ashley is currently the number one employee signing guests for Power Card Picazzo's Reward Point program. Her mom and her now have a friendly competition going to see who can lead the pack.
Ashley wants to be a trauma nurse and eventually attend Grand Canyon University when she graduates from High School. She was inspired to the career by watching Grays Anatomy and wants to be like the nurses on the program. Also, when Ashley was 5-6 years old, her mother, Christine, was being treated for Stage 4 Colon Cancer and spent a lot of time with her in the treatment center watching her mom get stuck with needles and sat by her side for hours. Prior to Colon Cancer, Christine dealt with stage 2 Breast Cancer. Christine is a thriving survivor!
Ashley is very involved in her church youth group and is a lead singer in the Youth Band. She has been asked to be a youth leader when she graduates. She has great friends and enjoys being the lead vocalist her church band. She enjoys having her friends over and jams on their back porch with acoustic guitars. What girls don't just love dressing up and being silly!
Picazzo's extended family also includes Mom, Lucy and son, Angel working together in the kitchen in Scottsdale. And in Sedona we have mom, Irma and her son's Manny, Kitchen Manager and Jesus in Sedona. How lucky we are to have such dedicated families working with us to serve the best gluten-free food in Arizona!
Proudly serving clean Italian inspired lunch, happy healthy hours and dinner at our 5 locations in Arizona: Scottsdale, Paradise Valley/Phoenix, Tempe/Chandler, Sedona and Flagstaff. www.picazzos.com
