On the Gull's Road, Willa Cather
written by Missyshears February 7, 2018
On the Gull's Road (1908) from Willa Cather is a touching memoir of unrequited love with Alexandra Deppling on a ship from Genoa to New York City, her compelling beauty despite illness and a dandy of a husband. She gives him a mysterious box she asks that he not open until she writes, which along with his drawing of her, symbolize their love twenty years past. "Vanity sometimes saves us when nothing else will, and mine saved you."
IT often happens that one or another of my friends stops before a red chalk drawing in my study and asks me where I ever found so lovely a creature. I have never told the story of that picture to any one, and the beautiful woman on the wall, until yesterday, in all these twenty years has spoken to no one but me. Yesterday a young painter, a countryman of mine, came to consult me on a matter of business, and upon seeing my drawing of Alexandra Ebbling, straightway forgot his errand. He examined the date upon the sketch and asked me, very earnestly, if I could tell him whether the lady were still living. When I answered him, he stepped back from the picture and said slowly:
"So long ago? She must have been very young. She was happy?"
"As to that, who can say — about any one of us?" I replied. "Out of all that is supposed to make for happiness, she had very little."
We returned to the object of his visit, but when he bade me goodbye at the door his troubled gaze again went back to the drawing, and it was only by turning sharply about that he took his eyes away from her.
I went back to my study fire, and as the rain kept away less impetuous visitors, I had a long time in which to think of Mrs. Ebbling. I even got out the little box she gave me, which I had not opened for years, and when Mrs. Hemway brought my tea I had barely time to close the lid and defeat her disapproving gaze.
My young countryman's perplexity, as he looked at Mrs. Ebbling, had recalled to me the delight and pain she gave me when I was of his years. I sat looking at her face and trying to see it through his eyes — freshly, as I saw it first upon the deck of the Germania, twenty years ago. Was it her loveliness, I often ask myself, or her loneliness, or her simplicity, or was it merely my own youth? Was her mystery only that of the mysterious North out of which she came? I still feel that she was very different from all the beautiful and brilliant women I have known; as the night is different from the day, or as the sea is different from the land. But this is our story, as it comes back to me.
For two years I had been studying Italian and working in the capacity of clerk to the American legation at Rome, and I was going home to secure my first consular appointment. Upon boarding my steamer at Genoa, I saw my luggage into my cabin and then started for a rapid circuit of the deck. Everything promised well. The boat was thinly peopled, even for a July crossing; the decks were roomy; the day was fine; the sea was blue; I was sure of my appointment, and, best of all, I was coming back to Italy. All these things were in my mind when I stopped sharply before a chaise longue placed sidewise near the stern. Its occupant was a woman, apparently ill, who lay with her eyes closed, and in her open arm was a chubby little red-haired girl, asleep. I can still remember that first glance at Mrs. Ebbling, and how I stopped as a wheel does when the band slips. Her splendid, vigorous body lay still and relaxed under the loose folds of her clothing, her white throat and arms and red-gold hair were drenched with sunlight. Such hair as it was: wayward as some kind of gleaming seaweed that curls and undulates with the tide. A moment gave me her face; the high cheek-bones, the thin cheeks, the gentle chin, arching back to a girlish throat, and the singular loveliness of the mouth. Even then it flashed through me that the mouth gave the whole face its peculiar beauty and distinction. It was proud and sad and tender, and strangely calm. The curve of the lips could not have been cut more cleanly with the most delicate instrument, and whatever shade of feeling passed over them seemed to partake of their exquisiteness.
But I am anticipating. While I stood stupidly staring (as if, at twenty-five, I had never before beheld a beautiful woman) the whistles broke into a hoarse scream, and the deck under us began to vibrate. The woman opened her eyes, and the little girl struggled into a sitting position, rolled out of her mother's arm, and ran to the deck rail. After putting my chair near the stern, I went forward to see the gang-plank up and did not return until we were dragging out to sea at the end of a long tow-line.
The woman in the chaise longue was still alone. She lay there all day, looking at the sea. The little girl, Carin, played noisily about the deck. Occasionally she returned and struggled up into the chair, plunged her head, round and red as a little pumpkin, against her mother's shoulder in an impetuous embrace, and then struggled down again with a lively flourishing of arms and legs. Her mother took such opportunities to pull up the child's socks or to smooth the fiery little braids; her beautiful hands, rather large and very white, played about the riotous little girl with a quieting tenderness. Carin chattered away in Italian and kept asking for her father, only to be told that he was busy.
When any of the ship's officers passed, they stopped for a word with my neighbor, and I heard the first mate address her as Mrs. Ebbling. When they spoke to her, she smiled appreciatively and answered in low, faltering Italian, but I fancied that she was glad when they passed on and left her to her fixed contemplation of the sea. Her eyes seemed to drink the color of it all day long, and after every interruption they went back to it. There was a kind of pleasure in watching her satisfaction, a kind of excitement in wondering what the water made her remember or forget. She seemed not to wish to talk to any one, but I knew I should like to hear whatever she might be thinking. One could catch some hint of her thoughts, I imagined, from the shadows that came and went across her lips, like the reflection of light clouds. She had a pile of books beside her, but she did not read, and neither could I. I gave up trying at last, and watched the sea, very conscious of her presence, almost of her thoughts. When the sun dropped low and shone in her face, I rose and asked if she would like me to move her chair. She smiled and thanked me, but said the sun was good for her. Her yellow-hazel eyes followed me for a moment and then went back to the sea.
After the first bugle sounded for dinner, a heavy man in uniform came up the deck and stood beside the chaise longue, looking down at its two occupants with a smile of satisfied possession. The breast of his trim coat was hidden by waves of soft blond beard, as long and heavy as a woman's hair, which blew about his face in glittering profusion. He wore a large turquoise ring upon the thick hand that he rubbed good-humoredly over the little girl's head. To her he spoke Italian, but he and his wife conversed in some Scandinavian tongue. He stood stroking his fine beard until the second bugle blew, then bent stiffly from his hips, like a soldier, and patted his wife's hand as it lay on the arm of her chair. He hurried down the deck, taking stock of the passengers as he went, and stopped before a thin girl with frizzed hair and a lace coat, asking her a facetious question in thick English. They began to talk about Chicago and went below. Later I saw him at the head of his table in the dining room, the befrizzed Chicago lady on his left. They must have got a famous start at luncheon, for by the end of the dinner Ebbling was peeling figs for her and presenting them on the end of a fork.
The Doctor confided to me that Ebbling was the chief engineer and the dandy of the boat; but this time he would have to behave himself, for he had brought his sick wife along for the voyage. She had a bad heart valve, he added, and was in a serious way.
After dinner Ebbling disappeared, presumably to his engines, and at ten o'clock, when the stewardess came to put Mrs. Ebbling to bed, I helped her to rise from her chair, and the second mate ran up and supported her down to her cabin. About midnight I found the engineer in the card room, playing with the Doctor, an Italian naval officer, and the commodore of a Long Island yacht club. His face was even pinker than it had been at dinner, and his fine beard was full of smoke. I thought a long while about Ebbling and his wife before I went to sleep.
The next morning we tied up at Naples to take on our cargo, and I went on shore for the day. I did not, however, entirely escape the ubiquitous engineer, whom I saw lunching with the Long Island commodore at a hotel in the Santa Lucia. When I returned to the boat in the early evening, the passengers had gone down to dinner, and I found Mrs. Ebbling quite alone upon the deserted deck. I approached her and asked whether she had had a dull day. She looked up smiling and shook her head, as if her Italian had quite failed her. I saw that she was flushed with excitement, and her yellow eyes were shining like two clear topazes.

Playing the fool
Nov 27, 2019 Nov 27, 2019 ~ Peter A Bell
This could be seen as a highly controversial statement, but Jackson Carlaw may not actually be an idiot. Calm down! I'm not saying he's particularly clever. Only that it's possible he may not be as daft as you would assume just from listening to him. He might be a man of normal intelligence. How would we know?
You see, as a British Nationalist politician, Carlaw is obliged to say really stupid things. It's the same for all of them. They all have to behave in public as if they're in an episode of 'BritNats say the craziest things!' They all have to act stupid, whether or not they actually are. Take Richard Leonard, for example. (In case you don't recognise the name, he's the nominal 'leader' of a particular British Nationalist clique calling itself 'Scottish Labour'.) He has to pretend that, despite having been an MSP (Central Scotland Region) since 2016, he still doesn't know which powers are reserved and which devolved. He must be aware that this makes him look woefully ill-informed and not very bright, but he happily accepts the sacrifice of his dignity in the name of the British ruling elites to whom he owes unquestioning loyalty.
They're all at it. All the British politicians squatting in the Scottish Parliament have to act stupid as required by their sole mission to preserve the Union at whatever cost to the nation and people of Scotland. Some, like James Kelly, play the fool with effortless ease; unfailingly giving a performance that is utterly convincing. Quite how he does that thing with the slack jaw and the blank eyes is a mystery, and must be the envy of stars of stage and screen from the great method actors to Nicolas Cage.
So, when you hear Jackson Carlaw banging on about a non-existent "commitment" that the 2014 independence referendum was a "once in a generation" event, cut him some slack. He's probably just hamming it up for the cameras. And go easy on him when he compounds this idiocy by insisting that, having made a decision on the basis of what they believe to be the circumstances prevailing, the people of Scotland should not be permitted another opportunity to exercise their right of self-determination for forty years. That's eight parliamentary terms. Potentially eight different governments. To put it in some kind of perspective, there was only a little more than forty years separating the first powered flight and the breaking of the sound barrier.
A lot changes in a lot less than four decades. Someone who is just old enough to vote in the coming UK general election will be 58 years old by the time Carlaw thinks it appropriate for that person to make a choice about their nation's constitutional status. It is, whatever way you look at it, a ludicrous proposition. Made all the more ludicrous by the fact that there never was any "commitment" such as Carlaw refers to. It never happened. There were a few instances of phrases such as "once in a lifetime". But, unless you're genuinely stupid or unfamiliar with the English language, it is clear from the context that these phrases are being used idiomatically and hyperbolically to describe the opportunity and not literally to describe the event.
What you will not find is any reference to "once in a generation/lifetime" in the Edinburgh Agreement or the Scottish Independence Referendum Act 2013 or any legislation or concord which would constitute a "commitment".
It may well be argued that the SNP administration at the time gave a hostage to fortune when they used that phrase. Maybe they should have seen how British Nationalists might take a common expression and weave around it an entire script to be parroted by British Nationalist politicians doing their 'village idiot' routine. (A script that has to be kept simple if it is to be used by such as James Kelly and Boris Johnson.)
It could be said that the SNP acted foolishly on a few occasions. But that is a very different thing from acting the fool constantly, as Jackson Carlaw and his fellow British Nationalists are wont to do.

Brian Watson says:
A classic of condemnation by faint praise . You have the rare knack of subtle flighting , a refinement of the old Scottish combat by insult and inky pellets..Good to see you bringing back a distinctively Scottish mode of refined wordy warfare .
I think you are too kind to these people. Maybe there are some who are genuinely stupid. But the bulk is deliberately misrepresenting events to what they believe to be their advantage. In which case they are simply evil.
Certainly they must believe that the population is stupid. Or simply so privileged that they have no need to be anything other than stupid.
James Kelly "must be the envy of stars of stage and screen from the great method actors to Nicolas Cage."
And of the puppet that had the role of Captain Blue in Thunderbirds.
imbhc9 says:
I'm pretty sure the phrase used by Alex Salmond was "This is a once in a lifetime opportunity" However, it was clearly his opinion and was never made into SNP policy…

Q: Demand Paging Swapping Frames Disclaimer: This question is related to my operating systems class.  However, it's not for any specific homework question.  I'm just trying to understand.
Here's what I think I know about demand paging so far.  Each process has its own paging table.  This table contains an index of the logical address, its corresponding physical address, and a valid/invalid bit which indicates whether the page is currently loaded into main memory.
When a page is accessed, if the valid/invalid bit is set to valid, then the page is simply accessed in main memory via the logical address entry in the table.  If the page is not contained in physical memory, then a page fault is generated.  This causes the program to try and load the page into memory.
The system first checks if the requested address is valid.  If not, then the process is terminated.  If the address is valid, then the system checks for free frames.  If a free frame is found, then the system loads the requested data from the disk and places it in the free frame.  The valid/invalid bit is set to valid in the paging table, the logical address is set to the previously free frame, and the program can continue executing.
If no free frames are present, then the system must swap out a currently used frame and place the requested data in the frame.  The system an algorithm such as LRU, MRU, etc. to determine which page to swap out.  The system swaps out the old page, loads in the new page and then returns control to the process.
Here's My Question:  When the full frame is swapped out, how does the valid/invalid bit of a paging table which accesses this frame get set?  That is, how does the system know that the paging table of a process access the frame which is being swapped out?
Here's an example.  Suppose there are two process, each with paging tables of size 2 and a physical memory of size 2.  Let the paging tables of the processes be as follows:
Process A virtual memory:
Address  Contents
0        'A'
1        'B'

Process B virtual memory:
Address  Contents
0        'C'
1        'D'

Process A paging table:
Logical  Physical  Valid/Invalid
0        0         Valid
1        0         Invalid

Process B paging table:
Logical  Physical  Valid/Invalid
0        1         Valid
1        0         Invalid

Main memory:
Address  Contents
0        'A'
1        'C'

Now suppose Process A attempts to access its logical address of B.  The system swaps out the contents of main memory address 1 and swaps in 'D'.  How does the system know to set the valid/invalid bit to invalid for the logical address of 0 in Process's B paging table?

A: There are more control fields either in the page tables themselves or elsewhere in the OS kernel to distinguish between a memory range that has no mapping at all (has never been allocated/mapped or has been freed/unmapped) and a memory range that points to a memory location that's been swapped out. In both cases the range cannot be accessed and an access results in a page fault, but the OS handles this page fault differently in these cases. In the former it terminates the process. In the latter it tries to bring the data back to the memory and restore the mapping to a state in which the data can be accessed.
The OS knows where pages of the physical memory are used. It either scans page tables to find that out or consults its own data structures that it maintains. If the OS needs to steal a page from a process, it saves it (if it's been modified), it alters the mapping so that process can no longer directly access this page without the OS intervention, then reuses this page elsewhere, e.g. in a different process by filling it with the right data and mapping it appropriately so that process can access the data.

In July of 2012 I was interviewed for the first time by Eric Bolling of Fox News, for a segment of Fox and Friends. At the time it was estimated that the show reached approximately 2.5 million households.
Not surprisingly, the George Soros funded "Media Matters" came out with a swift response, which I have copied in below. Other than just giving a synopsis of what I said and how Eric Bolling received it, the article tried to essentially fault our conversation (and our opinions) for a serious of alleged acts of vandalism and and arson, upon mosques across America.
Not only is that a real stretch, but what few actual cases there were, it turned out that a Muslim was the perpetrator, most likely trying to create the illusion that Islam was under attack and thus it was essential there be less public criticism of Islam.
The end of the Media Matters article was clearly an attempt to signal, to the then Obama controlled Department of Justice, that I was involved in inciting violence and should remain on their radar, or worse. In the years that followed, I wrote several articles for Ex-Muslim Ali Sina, at FaithFreedom.org – and it was recently discovered that Ali Sina was investigated by the FBI, under Obama. Little is known about that still, or what connections, if any, exist there.
Bolling's guest was Eric Bell, a filmmaker who produced a documentary on a mosque in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
BOLLING: What is actually happening? I only have a couple of seconds. Tell me what you found.
BELL: I found that there's a man who raped a 9-year-old girl, who owned slaves, who killed his critics, who beheaded a tribe full of Jews named Muhammad who is the highest moral example in Islam for 1.6 billion people. And that this is a radical, savage religion. The people aren't all radical, thank god. But the religion is the worst, most deadliest idea in the history of the world. And we need to make sure that we keep a close eye on it in this country.
Bolling's endorsement of Bell's views came just days after a resident of Texas was indicted for "threatening to use violence" against the Murfreesboro mosque. In addition, The New York Times reported that the construction site of the mosque "has been repeatedly vandalized" and construction equipment at the site "has been set on fire." Other mosques around the country have also been subjected to vandalism and arson. But it should come as no surprise that Bolling endorsed Bell's extreme anti-Muslim comments, as he has a history of extreme, anti-Muslim comments himself.

Bubbie's Story | The Bubbiemobile | 30th Anniversary
Merchandise | Store Locator
A Naturally Fermented Beginning
Bubbies Pickles began in 1982 as a sideline hobby for former owner Leigh Truex, whose presents to relatives and friends of her homemade dill pickles led to their encouragement that she produce the dill pickles commercially. Truex's dill pickle operation was a roaring aesthetic success but financially, it was another story.
"Kathy and I met while we were working at the bank", says John Gray, "and as we both got to know each other, we realized that we had the same dream—to be in business for ourselves and to bring a truly great product to market".
When a client of the Grays mentioned over lunch that a naturally fermented pickle business by the name of Bubbies happened to be for sale, the first thing the couple did was walk down the street to a specialty foods outlet in San Francisco to buy a jar. They were impressed. A money-losing but charming naturally fermented pickle operation with potential upside seemed like their perfect ticket to a new life.
Anyone Can Make a Dill Pickle, but Not Like Bubbie
As former bankers and even small business owners, the couple had a pretty good business and financial background, but everyone knows the food industry can be tough.
"I remember our first day after we bought the business, our briner informed me he might no longer be willing to supply us," relates John.
"For a time, things just puttered along," he says. In the food business it is very difficult to get a new product on the store shelves. "Without the independent grocer and their willingness to innovate—to try new things—and our loyal following of consumers who love our naturally fermented, wholesome foods we wouldn't be here today," he adds.
When the Grays purchased the company in 1989, Bubbies was only a dill pickle, only sold in a few local area stores, and not really a recognizable brand. But then Kathy and John were introduced through a mutual friend to a Harvard strategy guru who asked them a question that changed everything: "Are you a manufacturer or are you selling something?"
The pair realized at that moment that like all small businesses, you can only focus your resources on a limited number of things. Almost anyone can make a dill pickle. Though Bubbies' recipe is a closely guarded secret, "if we don't get it onto the shelves, make sure the brand is recognized, desired, asked-for, bought by the consumer and then bought again after the consumer tried them the first time—everything else was all for naught," relates John.
A Face To Fit The Naturally Fermented Name
The couple sought the help of another entrepreneur who had just left his comfortable job at a big Ad Agency to start his own firm. "Steve Rustad changed our labeling, our brand message and goaded us constantly to focus on building the relationships with our customers, distributors and food brokers," says John.
"We spent months looking all over for the perfect Bubbie, then one day I looked up on our living room mantel and there she was. Everyone we showed the photo to said, 'That's it! That's her!'" says Kathy.
The new product label for the naturally fermented sauerkraut and dill pickles—with the prominent picture of Bubbie—evoked what consumers who'd tried the product were saying about it. "Natural, old-world, bringing back the good feelings we had about our families and the home-cooked, wholesome experiences with something that tastes unique, refreshing and distinctive."
As John describes the Bubbie persona, "She's the essence of the kindly Jewish grandmother who happens to be passionate about things like cooking and pickling. She stands for all Old World grannies who pamper their family with wonderful foods they've hand made using authentic ingredients and traditional recipes."
Dill Pickle and Sauerkraut Fans Stay in Touch
"I can tell you we went to a lot of shows, met a lot of folks and we learned that 'brand' isn't a 'product'…it's the consumer's lasting experience with our foods," opines John.
With the help of the marketing expert, the Grays hit on the idea of having a website—the look and feel matching the label and brand image—and the ability for consumers to write in directly.
"The results exceeded our wildest imagination," says John. Since he began tracking them in 1995, Bubbies has received more than 1,000 fan letters—to ask what stores in friends or families areas carry the naturally fermented products, or just simply to say "Thanks."
"The letters are important to me," says John, "because people in the food business for years have told me they've never received even a single letter. Bubbies products obviously connect with our customers in an emotional way."
Bubbie's worldly advice is evident in the company's playful slogan: "Eat My Pickles. Wear Clean Underwear. Marry a Doctor."
Bubbies Naturally Fermented Products Are A Big Dill
Although naturally fermented dill pickles continue as the Bubbies flagship product, the line has expanded over the years to include bread and butter pickles, naturally fermented dill relish, naturally fermented sauerkraut, two kinds of horseradish, and pickled Herring. All are made with the same deliberate Old World methods, using only natural ingredients and emphasizing a zesty taste. The bread and butter pickles are the sole exception to the product line's required placement in refrigerated sections.
Besides its natural niche in ethnic food sections and delis, the Bubbies brand has attracted significant interest from natural foods stores and their customers, where the naturally fermented element is equated with pure ingredients and healthy eating. It has also long been found in the Ralphs Supermarket chain, among others.
The company has grown from a small distribution base in Northern California to an international marketer with products on shelves from coast to coast and in Canada. Bubbies continues to be privately held.
As the leading brand in its food category, what's in store for the future? "In the end," says John, "we make products that are authentic, wholesome, and they just taste better, and we will continue to listen to our customers and promote who and what we really are."
Kathy Gray
After a five year bout with early onset Alzheimer's, Kathy passed away in July of 2011. She and John were the entire staff of Bubbies for over 15 years. Through all the anxiety of Bubbies early years, Kathy never lost hope or had any regrets about leaving the corporate world behind. She once said; "We have to succeed, because I am never going back to work for the bank!" Her indomitable spirit touched everyone she knew, whether as a classroom Mom or as President of the Board of Hospice of San Joaquin. She is profoundly missed by her family, friends and co-workers. Her legacy at Bubbies is seen every day in the way we do business.

I've spent a fair chunk of today at an inward investment event for Putney Town Centre. Although Nine Elms and Tooting have been getting a fair degree of attention recently, the council has continued to promote the rest of the borough as a destination to businesses, retailers and investors. Today's event was aimed at attracting people to invest in Putney, highlighting both the opportunities for retailers and the consequent advantages for those seeking to establish offices in the area.
It is, of course, coming to the time in the cycle when a lot of the borough is talked down for political advantage. I recall Stuart King's rather negative campaign as Labour leader four years ago that was little more than a litany of complaints and criticisms that – in fact – most people didn't relate to (and may have contributed to him losing his own seat; if things were so bad, why hadn't he done anything in his eight years as a councillor).
In fact there's a lot to be positive about in Wandsworth and Putney. The high street has weathered the recession remarkably well and managed to attract new investment during it. And today, the area was still enough of a draw to attract 70 or 80 people from developers, retailers and businesses who might be the ones investing in SW15 in coming years.


I bring the studio to you - whether it's your office, your favorite outdoor location, your house or in front of your favorite graffiti wall. These shoots are extra special because I light it just like a film set! It's a great way to get an image of you in your space, wherever makes you feel most yourself.

Defending Employers' Access to Legal Advice: Comments Filed Supporting DOL's Rescission of Controversial Persuader Rule
August 11, 2017, was the deadline for interested parties to submit comments regarding the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) proposal to formally rescind its controversial persuader rule, which was issued in 2016 under the Obama administration.

Here We Go Again! DOL Proposes to Rescind the Permanently Enjoined "Persuader" Rule (and Perhaps Revise It)
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) moved one step closer to undoing President Obama's permanently enjoined "persuader activity" regulation when, on June 12, the agency issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for reverse rulemaking to rescind the rule and perhaps revise it.

Federal Court Permanently Enjoins the Persuader Rule
On November 16, 2016, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (Lubbock Division) converted its injunction preventing implementation of the U.S. Department of Labor's revised persuader rule on a national basis from preliminary to permanent. According to Judge Sam R. Cummings's order, the court converted the preliminary injunction to a permanent one for the same reasons "stated in the Court's Preliminary Injunction Order entered June 27, 2016" in National Federation of Independent Business et al. v. Perez, et al. Judge Cummings found the DOL's revised persuader rule to be "not merely fuzzy around the edges.
Lubbock Judge Grants Motion to Halt Persuader Rule
On June 27, 2016, in National Federation of Independent Business et al. v. Perez, et al., the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (Lubbock Division) granted Plaintiffs' Motion for a Preliminary Injunction, thereby enjoining the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) from implementing and enforcing its revised persuader rule on a national basis. The Court found that Plaintiffs' challenge to the new rule, which was set to become effective July 1, 2016, has a substantial likelihood of success on the merits and that Plaintiffs have shown that they would be irreparably harmed if the rule was not enjoined.

Plan to Rename Stadium for Elway Postponed
Granada Hills High School has postponed renaming its Bryce Schurr Football Stadium, dedicated to the school's founding principal, for pro football's John Elway because of a fierce community outcry that has turned what was supposed to be a "feel-good event" ugly.
The June 5 rededication ceremony, which the Denver Bronco quarterback and Granada Hills alumnus was expected to attend, has instead been put off indefinitely as administrators and school boosters regroup in the face of letters, phone calls and negative publicity.
Critics of the change say that it is a shameful example of society's fascination with celebrity and disregard for teachers' dedication. Supporters of the renaming say that it is an issue being blown out of proportion by outsiders who are not active at Granada Hills High.
"The issue is, in our society, where educators do not seem to be respected, where actors and athletes are promoted, what about teachers and educators who brought Granada Hills to prominence?" said one opponent, Lee Kanon Alpert, an attorney.
Proponents note that Elway, a Stanford University graduate, was a standout athlete and scholar at his alma mater, from which he graduated in 1979.
Principal Kathy Rattay said the intention was never to push Schurr's name aside, but to rename the entire athletic facility, including a gym and offices, in his honor.


First thing you need to know is that Brazil requires all U.S. citizens to carry a passport that is valid for at least 6 months from the date you enter Brazil AND a visa. You can apply for a visa through the Brazilian Embassy or Consulate in person, through one of many visa agencies, or by mail. The fee of $160 per person at the time of writing this article can be quite steep when traveling with a family.
If you are granted a visa, you must enter the country within 90 days of receiving it, so plan accordingly. A tourist visa allows you to stay up to 90 days and is valid for multiple entries. For more detailed information, visit the Brazilian Embassy Website.
Thousands of visitors from around the world flock to Rio de Janeiro to see its world famous attractions.
If you are traveling to Rio de Janeiro or São Paolo, two popular destinations in Brazil, you don't need to worry about getting shots as long as you and your family are up-to-date on standard vaccinations. If you are planning to visit other locations in Brazil, you should know that several regions (particularly the north, northeast and central region) present a risk of contracting yellow fever and/or malaria for travelers.
Depending on your destination(s), make sure to consult your physician or a travel health clinic four to eight weeks before your planned departure. Some vaccinations and malaria prophylaxis must be taken a few weeks before arriving to Brazil. For more information on this topic, visit the CDC website.
Brazil is a tropical country, but due to its large size, the weather can vary considerably between the north and south, even during the same season. Because it is located in the southern hemisphere, Brazil's seasons are the opposite from those in the northern hemisphere (i.e. Brazil's summer is December through March). During Brazil's winter months, the weather in the southern parts can get a bit chilly, so be sure to pack some long pants and light jackets in addition to your shorts and swim suits. I also suggest you check the weather forecast before your trip to help you pack.
The northeast coast of Brazil is known for its sandy beaches and plentiful sunshine year round.
The official language of Brazil is Portuguese and despite what some people think, it is not a dialect of Spanish! It is true, however, that the two languages are linguistically related, so if you speak some Spanish, it might help you understand some words in Portuguese or make your own wants known.
You should know that even in large cities such as Rio and São Paolo many people do not speak English (or at least fewer than we expected), and the farther away you get from the large cities, even fewer people you will encounter will speak English. That said, most hotel front desk staff speak English, and they can also help you with matters outside the hotel, such as destinations for taxi drivers. During our trip we made good use of the Google Translate app on our smart phones on several occasions, particularly when shopping.
Brazil's currency is the Real ($R). ATMs are the best way to obtain cash and ATM machines are available even in smaller towns. Major credit cars are widely accepted; however, it's a good idea to carry multiple options as some places only accept a certain type of card (i.e. Visa).
Brazil uses the metric system: kilometers for distances and kilograms for weight. We were told that some rural areas may measure distance in legua which is about 5 km.
A key thing to know is that electric current in Brazil varies widely (from 100 to 127 volts or 220 to 240 volts and from 50 to 60Hz), even in the same city or, as we were told, sometimes even in the same building! Be aware of the voltage before you plug in any electrical devices! Many hotels label their electrical outlets to help their guests, but not all do. When in doubt, ask and make sure to check if your electronics are dual-voltage. Also, bring a travel converter for those that are not.
Most hotel rooms in Brazil accommodate two or, at most, three people, so a family of four will most likely need to get two separate rooms or a "family room" mini suite, if it is available. We learned that the room rates can vary quite considerably between the high season and the low season, depending on the city and time of year. You should also know that most hotel rates include breakfast which usually consists of a nice buffet.
Most restaurants as well as hotels add 10% service charge to your bill. Additional tipping is not expected. We were told that taxi drivers do not expect to be tipped, but I can tell you it is very appreciated if you feel you have received a particularly good service. Bellboys get tipped $R1 per bag.
Brazil is the world's 5th largest country! To travel around, you will have to rely primarily on air travel. While there is a network of intercity buses, rail travel is almost nonexistent in Brazil. The major domestic airlines are TAM, GOL, WebJet and BR; however, not all of them have flights to and from all Brazilian cities.
Keep in mind that in Rio or São Paolo, a domestic flight might depart from a different airport than where your international flight arrived. Traveling to and from the airports, particularly in these two highly congested cities, can take considerable amounts of time, so plan accordingly and take me seriously on this one! Our taxi ride from and to the airport in Rio and São Paolo took twice as long as we planned and we planned conservatively.
If you are thinking about renting a car and driving in Brazil I have two pieces of advice: (1) Don't! and (2) If you ignore #1, Good luck!
Heed our Brazil travel tips and do not rent a car, else you may find yourself in the middle of gridlock in Rio de Janeiro!
A few decades ago, Brazil unfortunately developed a reputation for having violence and crime, and many people still see it as an unsafe place to visit. This is unfortunate as the situation is much improved today, largely due to government investment in public services such as police, as well as tourism, which is a top priority for Brazil today. We found Brazilians to be extremely friendly hosts who often went out of their way trying to be helpful with giving directions, advice or other help for visitors to their country.
As I mentioned in my article about Rio de Janeiro, my biggest advice is to exercise common sense and be alert at all times, just as you would when visiting other big cities in Europe or at home, in the United States.
Avoid visiting risky neighborhoods, especially at night.
Use common sense when walking around. Leave passports and other valuables in the hotel safe; for day trips or excursions, only bring what you absolutely need.
Do not flash large amounts of cash, wear expensive jewelry or big cameras around your neck.
Try to avoid congested areas or, if you must, be extra vigilant as this is where pickpocketing often occurs. I did make sure to carry my fold-over cross-body bag with a zipper, in front of my body at all times to minimize any risks.
When we brought our backpack on excursions, we made sure to wear it in the front no matter how stupid this might have looked.
Taxis are generally very safe, despite random reports about incidents, and available everywhere. However, if you feel uncomfortable, have your hotel or a restaurant call one for you or use one of many lined up at taxi stands. Our experience at the airports was that it is best to prepay a fixed taxi fare (usually there is an easy-to-find stand), and obviously avoid anybody who tries to "befriend you" and take you to their taxi.
As mentioned above, it is very important to plan enough time to get to the airport, especially in Rio and São Paolo. Again, I'm speaking from experience. Equally important is to plan for long immigration lines, especially when leaving the country. Similar to our taxi rides from and to the airport, this process took a lot longer than we anticipated, and, while our family luckily made it on time, we observed many distressed passengers begging the officials to let them to the front of the line so that they could make their flights home.
Lastly, all foreign visitors must fill out an immigration form when entering the country, which will be stamped and handed back to you by an immigration officer. Make sure to save this form as you will be required to hand it back to the immigration authorities when you are exiting the country. According to the U.S. Department of State official website for international travel, losing the form can result in delays exiting the country as you will need clearance from the Brazilian Federal Police and may also result in a fine.
I hope you find these Brazil travel tips helpful as you are preparing for your trip. If you have a question about traveling to Brazil that we have not covered here, please post below and I will be happy to get back to you with my thoughts.

Page 39, 15 June 1996 — Always true to you, darling
Always true to you, darling
DOUBLE TAKE by Eleanor Bron Weidenfel4 £15.99, pp. 312 Eleanor Bron's astonishing, unmistak- able face looks out from the jacket flap of her first novel, unchanged since she first caused national hilarity in That Was the Week that Was, and the film where she went cavorting about with the baby Beatles. She has still only to appear for a moment on film or utter a word on radio and you say, 'Oh, it's Eleanor Bron!' She is the spirit of irony, satire and a sort of prepos- terous dottiness that sweeps you away into her eccentric, imaginative world. In her Desert Island Discs I seem to remember she chose a George II silver soup-ladle as her `luxury'; symbol of grace and civilisation against the roaring sea. She has always been rather larger than life, unsure whether she is tragic or comic. She is Joyce Grenfell by elflight, elbow resting on a bro- ken column; a Cassandra surveying fallen Troy, who will slowly drop an eyelid in a wink.
So that her first novel is a surprise. Instead of something maybe a bit comic- Gothic, she writes a long, strong, straight tale without a hint of humour or irony or idiosyncratic imagination. Her characters — except one, a vile theatrical agent (`You never get rid of your best man') — are almost stock figures, and the story is tame. Or could be tame. Two fine actors on the London stage meet, fall in love, marry, become 'stars', suffer, age and one of them dies.
But the theme is extremely serious. This is a grave book. It examines the tyranny of sex and the hopelessness for actors and the rest of us of lifelong loving marriage. Four characters, all to do with the theatre, have based their lives on the belief that marriage vows must be obeyed till death or never taken.
From what we've all been led to believe, this ought to seem unlikely, but Eleanor Bron knows her world inside out and is convincing. There is a great deal about an actor's life; the physical exhaustion, the dis- appointment, the long runs that cut you off from the world, the parties, the boozing, the slogging, underpaid hard work, the tough schedules of production and rehearsal, the machinations, the days spent in trance as you learn and absorb the soul of someone else. It will be read by actors, and loved by the groundlings and the stalls.
But must actors, she asks, become moral- ly submerged? She inquires, not censori- ously but philosophically, why the actor is expected to be promiscuous. 'Is fidelity only fortuitous?' Why is an actor supposed to be able to survive only on a diet of end- less love? He has his reward of love every night in the theatre, a new supply brought in with every audience. Why does he have to enchant wherever he goes? Is the actor necessarily a damaged human being? Or necessarily half a god? The heroine here, Bella Proven, is a glorious actor, beautiful and respected (she is meant I think also to be 'adorable' but this doesn't quite come off.) She is introspective, remote, not very chatty, very nice — and deeply ashamed of still being a virgin at the age of 29. This is soon set right, however, and she marries a `star'. The marriage is wonderful, and for a time each lights up the other, off-stage and on. So far, so Sybil Thorndike — and a few more.
But in creeps jealousy, mistrust, malice. She horrifies herself by setting traps, behaving irrationally, courting danger almost with pleasure. By the tragic end she has begun to acknowledge that insistence on a 'pure' love can cause as much havoc as Lady Macbeth's insistence on a 'pure' lust for power (Bella and her husband's first triumph together was as the Macbeths.) So, through her idealism — and maybe by a lack of health-giving light-hearted- ness? The refrain of the book is Chekhov — she has become the instrument of sever- al people's destruction.
Double Take is a rather slick title for this very accomplished, well-written book with a big cast and a story that cracks on splen- didly, spans several countries and a lot of years. But, more important, it is serious, and its conclusions are grim. Its antique theme of chastity in marriage is far away from the frivolous twitter that we are often served up about the theatre.

'Queen' Album Cover Nicki Minaj CR: Cash Money https://www.amazon.com/Queen-Nicki-Minaj/dp/B07DQ3ZX2L
11 Days Post Queen Release, Here's 11 Facts About Nicki Minaj's Current Situations
by tahyira savanna August 22, 2018
Leave a Comment on 11 Days Post Queen Release, Here's 11 Facts About Nicki Minaj's Current Situations
Future is no longer on tour with her which was highly hyped up prior to the Album release. The press release states scheduling conflicts. We are no touring managers but isn't availability the main thing being negotiated when deciding who will be on stage? This is a statement from a Live Nation's rep regarding the sales of the tour thus far: "Nicki's tour could be the most disappointing ticket sales of the year for any artist. These are big arenas with up to 20,000 capacities. Sales for opening night in Baltimore is 2,000 tickets. LA is 3,400, New Orleans 1,000, Denver 1,300, Chicago 3,900. Even her hometown Brooklyn is only 5,050." (Page Six)
When her album dropped on all streaming platforms around 9am EST on Aug. 10th, Minaj had 19 tracks, including a fan fave 'Inspirations Outro". Somewhere around the release and FEFE becoming certified platinum, the Young Money team added a 20th track, FEFE to Queen. Now I've been personally listening to Hip Hop since the days of Biggie and Lil Kim. How are you to add additional songs to an album post-release? Not even a reloaded version like she has done in the past? It is about money it seems and not much else these days.
She compared herself to Harriet Tubman for fighting for freedoms the same way she fought for streaming service plays to count towards Billboard. A huge backlash worst than the one that hit Kanye for his "Slavery was a choice" comment ensued via Twitter and Instagram from her fans.
#QueenRadio is the new shade room for the Summer. Minaj after the VMAs continued her rant against Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner. The articles surrounding the story goes as such: Nicki says that Travis mistakenly said he had the number one album when he didn't. On top of that, she is pissed that Kylie posted a concert flier alluding to her and Scott's newborn Stormie's attendance at the shows. "How you out here selling sweaters and tour passes." – Nicki. She also gave him "Hxx of the week" on her Queen Radio show.
Back to FEFE, though a fan favorite, both rappers on the track have had similar issues publicly. 6ix9ine has been convicted of using a minor in a sexual act and Minaj bailed out her brother who was later convicted for rape. The theme for the video is a childlike adult world. The opening scene of the video shows both playing hand games- weird? Maybe. Maybe not.
The album itself is sub par. Compared to her delivery on her initial records and even guest-verses, this isn't the Nicki we claim to see on Instagram. She said in a video back in June or so when she postponed the release of her album for industry technicalities. She says she has never been more creatively in-tuned. It doesn't seem so. It seems like she had a good run until Cardi B enter the race. It is different when you call yourself the best when you're the ONLY. Now that more and more female rappers are actually get a platform, Queens are looking like princesses.
She along with many other Black women had a cover in September – her's was Vogue Arabia. She looked flawless as usual.
Her performance at the 2018 VMAS is one of her best tv performances yet.
The European leg of her tour remains unhinged for now. You can catch #teamFEFE starting in Australia pretty soon.
A lot of the stories surrounding her release talks about her dealing with the fact that she is approaching 40. Funny enough, J LO just received the Michael Jackson Vanguard award. She is turning 50 years old next year. When it comes to women in the industry, too many times are their careers held against their birth certificates. Rappers such as Nas, Jay Z, and Kanye West, are past 40 years old. They all dropped albums within the last year. Why is it that women have a timestamp in the same field as men? Hmmm.
Last night at the VMAs Tiffany Haddish made a comment regarding Camila Cabello and Fifth Harmony saying that Cabello is here because she is nominated for 5 awards. Nicki who had invited Normani, one of the remaining members of Fifth Harmony to her album release event, said during her acceptance speech that Normani "is that bi#$%". Today during an episode of her Queen radio show she went on further to say she refuses to have any black woman disrespected in front of her. Black lives will surely matter.
Minaj unlike many other celebs have a strong public relationship with her fans. She has set up funds and has a scholarship program in place. Her money seemingly is spent on the folks she cares about which says a lot more than what beef she is currently engaging in.

Next-level VR: This robot camera attachment creates super hi-def panospheres
Photographers Larry Strange and Joe Del Tufo on why Google "validated our approach to high-quality image acquisition."
By Holly Quinn / @harlequinn823

Larry Strange was one of only 200 Google Trusted Photographers worldwide invited to The Street View Conference in London in September. The founder of Unified Web Media (UWM) in Wilmington is a prolific Google Earth contributor who is always looking for the next big thing in virtual reality technology.
"I attended the talk 'The Future of Visuals at Google' at the conference, and it validated our approach to high-quality image acquisition," he said.
The approach, which has been developed along with Joe Del Tufo of Moonloop Photography, prioritizes ultra-high definition captures using the Seitz Roundshot VR Drive, a state-of-the-art Swiss device that helps photographers create high-quality spherical panoramas, or panospheres.
The device isn't yet commonly used in the United States — in fact, according to Strange and Del Tufo, they use one of only two Roundshots in use in the U.S., acquired from a private seller in Boca Raton, Florida. In order to purchase the device, the seller had them travel to Boca Raton and learn to set it up and use it properly, a trip that proved to be well worth it.
"The quality of the images we get with this far exceeds the screens pretty much anyone has for viewing, including [VR headset] Oculus," said Strange. "That was one of my questions going into the [Street View] conference — was that worth doing? And we found out that it was."
For one thing, these high-quality images can "grow" with our devices as they're upgraded. Your smartphone isn't going to be able to display the full quality of the image today, but a device you buy in, say, 2024 — tech that isn't commercially available yet — might. Images made at a quality more in line with current displays that look high quality now will become obsolete sooner, and will need to be reshot.
While Google Earth is all about keeping its images fresh, images that stay high quality longer are also a priority. It's called "futureproofing" images. And just as it does with websites, Google uses algorithms to determine quality and gives the best (at least in theory) priority. Part of UWM's business is working for clients who want the most optimized images of their businesses on Google; just as businesses use textual SEO on their websites, many are starting to use similar methods with images.
The Roundshot consists of a touchscreen, a light meter and a motorized arm that gives it a robot feel as it automatically turns 360 degrees. Shooting a panosphere takes from about two to seven minutes, depending on the number of shots taken. Generally, UWM uses a 20 millimeter lens and make 28 shots. It's far lower than the 112 shots per panosphere the Roundshot is capable of, but the file sizes are more than their computers can handle.
This table shows the "sweet spot" they landed on, and how it compares to files made with 28 millimeter and 50 millimeter lenses:

"By comparison, most Unibody 360 cameras and the Matterport are only able to generate panospheres in the 8000 * 4000 range (32,000,000 pixels total) which is why our images are noticeably clearer," Strange wrote in an email.
On an unseasonably warm October morning, Strange and Del Tufo demonstrated the tech in the Highlands' Stapler Park near the UWM studio, for uploading to Google Earth. You can watch the whole process of setting up and capturing a shot here:
Here is the final panosphere on Google Earth, after color correcting the RAW files in Lightroom and stitching the shots together using PTGui Pro and submitting the file.
Google Earth is just one of the ways Roundshot VR captures can be applied. The definition is so detailed that it can be used to capture crime scenes in a way that wasn't previously possible; it can keep perfect records of large collections for insurance purposes without spreadsheets; it makes super-realistic 300 dpi billboards possible. And the detail it can capture in VR tours of large spaces with high ceilings — such as The Grand — is game changing.
What's next? A panosphere of the Wilmington skyline, as part of a contract with the Buccini Pollin Group.

St Martin's Community Centre on Flint Street is gearing up for the Allenton Big Build, which is due to begin next month. The centre at St Martin's Methodist Church will receive a transformational makeover through a DIY-SOS-style community project led by Hodgkinson Builders and supported by Allenton Big Local and Derby Homes.
The aim of the revamp is to provide a modern community venue that local people can use for events, meetings, parties, clubs, and classes. The refurbishment of the building will incorporate the creation of a welcoming cafe where members of the community will be able to enjoy coffee, tea or lunch.
Allenton Big Local is providing £70,000 of funding for the project, but the transformation of the community centre on Flint Street has only been made possible thanks to St Martin's Methodist Church, Hodgkinson Builders and Derby Homes. The church has agreed to the refurbishment of the building to develop it into an asset that will benefit the wider community. Hodgkinson Builders will provide vital expertise, resources and project management skills that will ensure the project's success. Derby Homes will support the project and advise St Martin's Methodist Church on managing and promoting the community centre effectively.
More information and updates will follow soon on the Allenton Big Local website, on Facebook and Twitter.


I'll probably be able to think back to the thrill of pitching in a World Series game. I mean, let's go win this thing and it won't matter. But my moment was during the national anthem and the flyover, and then it was business.
When you're pitching on long rest, some guys might be rusty, some guys not. For me tonight, I wasn't rusty. I felt fine. I did what I could. We're playing National League baseball right now, and our manager's going to manage in National League style. I understand completely why I came out of the ballgame.
Good pitching beats good hitting. I know that. When I'm out there and I've got all my pitches working, I'm going to give my team a pretty good chance to win. I had three pitches I was throwing for a strike tonight. I lost a few because of grip reasons. Chris Carpenter made pitches. He had four pitches for a strike, and the way he was throwing tonight, it was going to be tough to score on him.
The inning they scored the two runs, the first-pitch single then Albert Pujols, that was a slider that slipped out of my hands. It wasn't even a strike. It was off the plate. It slipped out of my hand and spun around out there. He slapped it down the first-base line. I would've rather walked him than give up the double. The walk with Scott Rolen, then I get a ground ball from Ronnie Belliard, then I get a ground ball from Jim Edmonds. I really felt like I had a pretty good chance of getting out of that inning.
I made the pitch I wanted to throw to Edmonds. I was watching what he was doing throughout the at-bat, watching his swing. Threw a fastball, ran it up and in on him, and I got the ground ball. When I saw it off his bat, I couldn't tell whether it was going to stay fair or not. If it did stay fair, I didn't know if we were positioned close to the line or not. We weren't, and the ball got down the first-base line. If it goes right to Sean Casey there, I'd be out of the inning.
When you talk about playoff teams, there's a reason why they're in the postseason. Certainly there's a reason why the Cardinals are in the postseason. They're playing good baseball right now. They really are. Even in their loss two days ago, they played a good game. But we've got Jeremy Bonderman on the hill Wednesday, and this team bounces back good. If we win tomorrow, we'll be in a good position. I think there's just as much of a challenge clinching a series as there is turning the momentum. It's a big game regardless, and he'll be up for the challenge.
Not going to have a lot of family here tomorrow night. I'd have a lot more if I had a bigger bank account, but we had to simplify it. I think what the majority of them are planning to do is have a party back home in Wichita, and just watch the game on TV. My parents and my brothers and my grandma are going to be here along with my wife, and that's going to be the majority of it. My mailbox is full on my phone. It's just sometimes in these situations, the most challenging thing you have to deal with is tickets and everything else, especially when you're pitching close to home.
It'll be about two weeks between starts for me. I've thrown a couple of side sessions since my start in Oakland, and for a pitcher, it's about feel. Obviously it's different with hitters, and there's a different type of intensity when you have a hitter in the box in this type of situation. But I feel pretty good. In my side session two days ago, it went really well.
It'll be a new park for me, obviously. So when I went outside for our workout, I wanted to see the dimensions of the left-field wall, see how far I have to get it out there to get it over the fence. Hopefully, Carpenter doesn't hang me a curveball or something. Just kidding. I don't know how the field favors righties or lefties. Obviously, I wanted to see the grass of the infield, see if the ball scoots a little bit.
We broke out the gum again last night. Tyson Steele, our assistant clubhouse manager, came down and had it going when he tacked on the extra run with Casey's hit.
Now, my start is basically Game 1 of a five-game series. We're even, where we needed to be at night's end. It's going to be a tough game. We've got a Cy Young winner on the other end of the lineup card.
It's inspiring to watch Kenny go out and perform like that. I just want to jump on that wagon a little bit and do a little bit myself. Pitching sets the tone, and Kenny set the tone. The rest of the team followed. We got a couple big hits early on there, and once Kenny got the lead, he didn't let it go, which was huge. For him at this point in his career, he's leaving it all out there. Shoot, he's probably got another 10 years left.
We couldn't add on early there, but more importantly, after they got out of bases loaded, Kenny went out there and threw up another zero. That's what was big. Just keep the momentum on our side. I think that was the biggest thing. Getting that extra run didn't prove really to be the difference. It was the fact that he went out there and put up not only the first zero, but several zeroes to follow.
I think it was fitting that Alan Trammell was here to enjoy this with his team. It was good to see Tram, good to see him smiling, and good to see him stand before the fans here and take the recognition that he deserves. It was a good moment to see, and I'm sure that he enjoyed standing out in front of them as well. I was looking for him, and I saw him standing over there, and I wanted to at least go over there and say hi to him. More importantly, the moment he was out there, that was his moment. He's been part of the heart and soul of this organization, and it was just good to see fans react the way they did. Pretty good everybody that played under him went up there to say hi to him, give him a little handshake and a hug. It was a good moment.
I think getting back out there, it was just an overall pretty flat game for us. It certainly wasn't the kind of baseball we had been playing. We don't use any excuses whatsoever, but they just beat us in all facets of the game. They hit the ball, and they had good defense overall. Obviously Reyes pitched a really good game. Gotta give him credit, because for the most part, he made his pitches and did a really good job.
To be honest, we had a week off, but it's like everything seemed like it happened so fast today. It was the first time for a lot of guys, certainly for me. You want to have a chance to sit back and enjoy it, so throughout the game you might take a moment to take it in. Of course, you'd rather take it in being up 7-1 than down 7-1. Driving in today, I realized what I was coming to the ballpark for. It was pretty awesome. We'll be alright.
We thought we might have a rally going there in the seventh. We've obviously been capable of it in the past, and once one guy gets something going, we feel like others will follow along. Even in the ninth, we felt like we could put a few runs up. I mean, this offense and this team is confident enough to know we can go out and do that. Tonight, we just didn't string enough hits together. We didn't have that many in the first place. We still had some pretty good at-bats. There were some balls that were hit hard right at guys. But they beat us. They played a better game than us tonight, bottom line.
I think there's urgency in every game. There's urgency in every pitch, especially where we're at. And I think that we understand what's at stake. Guys aren't going out there knowing that it would be a bad thing go down 0-2 heading to St. Louis. That's not something throughout the season we've allowed to press us. We don't do that. We've done pretty well being able to re-adjust, and I think we'll go out and do that tomorrow.
Every decision our skipper, Jimmy Leyland, makes has a purpose behind it. It's all about matchups, bottom line, just like against the Yankees. If it had been the Mets in the World Series — they have a lot of left-handed hitters — and it probably would've matched up a little bit different. But now we have the Cardinals, so I'll be pitching in Game 3. We have four legitimate starters going out there who are capable of helping us win.
I'll be pitching at the new Busch Stadium for the first time. I think if I go out there and look around me and see the guys playing behind me, I'll feel pretty comfortable. It's tough to get a feel until you get out there on the mound. It won't take long for me to adjust. If you ask a pitcher, we all recognize mounds that we like a little bit more than others. Once again, of course, I'll be pitching on the road, but it's a mind-set of going out there, taking it all in and getting rid of it all. They're not friendly environments. Never played in St. Louis before, so I really don't know what it's like there. But I think that if you can pitch in New York on the road, you can pretty much pitch anywhere.
It's been a long wait for us this week. I think the biggest thing was that it just opens up time for more phone calls to family and friends. I spent a lot of time on my cell phone. It really actually kind of helped in the off-the-field preparation stuff. Now, it's time to get that on-the-field preparation stuff finalized today.
It'll be interesting facing the Redbirds, because there are Cardinals fans in Wichita. They're a Midwest team, and not very far in Wichita. I will have a following in St. Louis. As soon as people find out that I'm going to be pitching in St. Louis, if they can get tickets, they'll be there. If they're friends of mine, I don't think I'll have anybody rooting for the red of the Cardinals.
It kind of hit last night how close the Series was to starting. I was checking out the NLCS score while I was picking up my brother from the airport. Instead of it being an 8-0 blowout, where you know who's going to win late in the game, it was a 1-1 ballgame going into the eighth inning. It's nice to know, because I was either going to be pitching at home or away. For me, it was a lot different. There were certain guys, I think, who had a better idea when they were pitching for sure. I wasn't one of them; I was either at home or on the road. Since the last regular-season series against Kansas City, I've been wondering where I'd be starting each time, where I'm supposed to pitch and who I'm pitching against. It makes it exciting. Typically, in the regular season, you always know who you're pitching against. But every single time I've started in the postseason, I haven't known for sure. It's been fun. Now I have to be ready to hit in Game 3 at Busch.
You know that was Gum Time. Kenny started throwing out packs to the fans when we had bases loaded. Actually, my first pack that I had in was when we got the two runs. Threw a pack up to a fan. The next inning, we got one run, tied it up. We double-dipped tonight. We double-dipped. But we definitely had it in the bottom of the ninth when it went out.
It's fitting that we went on a comeback. It's just the way we've been doing it all year. It's a bigger stage, obviously, but it was fitting. Very fitting.
Everybody works hard, but when it finally pays off, it's a feeling you can't describe. Coming from 2003, coming over in that trade and experiencing what we had with the 119 losses and then coming back, getting to this point, it's rewarding. I think at this point last year, when I was watching the playoffs unfold, I think there were a lot of people who were still in disbelief that Chicago was doing this. It became such a story, and I think it's the same way here.
Kenny was outstanding, bottom line. It's so fun to watch, you feel like you're going through every pitch with him, especially being a fellow pitcher on the staff. It's fun to watch a guy go out there, know what he's trying to do, executing pitches, doing it with confidence — especially Kenny, who has somehow added to a reputation of the successes that he's had in his career. These are kind of chapters that are huge. Because these will be the ones that you're remembered most for. Unfortunately, 200 wins, a perfect game, and all those things that he's done and achieved, a lot of people don't remember that he's done a lot of stuff. But what he's doing here in Detroit, he's going to be eating a lot of free dinners here in town for a long time, I'll tell you that much. He's been an outstanding leader for the staff, especially the starters, but for the whole staff. Going out there and doing what he's doing, it's inspiring. You want so much to able to do that. The guy, in what people think is the back end of his career, looks like he's right in the middle of it right now.
Everybody's just following suit. You watch this team play, and we're all playing with confidence. We're all pitching with confidence. We're all approaching the game with confidence, and it's just all the way around. It's not just the pitching, but pitching does set the tone, and Kenny was obviously the tone-setter tonight.
He's intense, man. Sometimes he doesn't show it as much as he has in the playoffs, but this is another season. We had our regular season, and this is where you win and go on or lose and go home. We've done so much this year to get into the position that we're in, nobody wants it to end. You see that tonight with Kenny, and I can guarantee you tomorrow with Bondo, he's going to let it all out there on the field tomorrow. Win or lose, he's going to be out there following suit.
We're not thinking about being one win away from the World Series. It's funny, but it's the way we've been all year long. It's like you have a three-game series and you win the first two. Skip just doesn't allow complacency to set in. You have a chance to go out and sweep tomorrow. We're happy with where we're at, obviously, but the things that he comes to us with is: "Hey, enjoy it tonight. Tomorrow you've got some work to do." There's not going to be a letdown or overconfidence going into tomorrow. It's business. Guys will be ready to play.
No doubt it was Gum Time tonight. I had two packs in. They had me miked up for the broadcast. Skip nominated me to get miked up for the game tonight. I don't know how much coverage I had out there. I think I was the only one to throw it in, but down 3-1, why not? So I threw in a couple packs, get a little rally going. They actually weren't in my mouth. Half of the gum was hanging out of my mouth. It was pretty ugly.
Anyway, we kept it going, got four big ones right there. That was a big part of the game. It swung the momentum and then we held on throughout the rest of the game. It was big.
To be honest with you, with the excitement of winning the game and the emotions you go through in a game like this, obviously we'll enjoy the flight back. And I think guys will get tired. We're going to have to try to find a little rest, because getting in at 5:30 in the morning is not going to be fun, especially with a 4:30 workout tomorrow. It'll be kind of a quick turnaround. Hopefully we can get back on a sleep schedule. They'll sleep quietly.
The one thing about Justin Verlander is he stayed aggressive, especially in a couple tough situations. I know they got four runs on him, but he stayed aggressive. Sometimes your line doesn't necessarily reflect how you pitch, but the big thing was where the momentum could've swung, he stayed on top of it, which is important. I think the big thing was after the four runs that we scored, he put up the goose egg and made sure that the momentum stayed with us. If you go out and score four after you're down by two, and then you go right back out there and give something up, that can really kill something.

Study Finds Cycling, E-bikes, Walking Help Cut CO2 Emissions
Jonathan Oldaker
It may seem obvious, but the potential active travel – cycling, walking, or e-biking – has to decrease carbon dioxide emissions is "huge" according to a recent study.
Although widely considered the most sustainable way to travel, little research has been conducted into active transport's concrete effects on CO2 output.
Led by the University of Oxford's Transport Studies Unit, the report found that shifting to modes of active transport could save up to a quarter of personal carbon dioxide emissions.
Across seven different European cities, the study tracked 2,000 people, collecting data on travel behaviours and journey purpose.
Statistical modelling was then used to show how changes in active mobility – the 'main mode' of daily travel – and cycling frequency impacted mobility-related carbon dioxide emissions.
The research factored in where their home or work location was, socio-economic factors, as well as whether they had access to public transport networks.
Small changes, big impact
So how much difference can a switch to active travel make?
Dr Christian Brand, from the University of Oxford, said:
"We found that those who switch just one trip per day from car driving to cycling reduce their carbon footprint by about 0.5 tonnes over a year, representing a substantial share of average per capita CO2 emissions.
"If just 10% of the population were to change travel behaviour, the emissions savings would be around 4% of lifecycle CO2 emissions from all car travel."
Just making a small change has been shown to affect a substantial difference in emissions. If you were to swap out just one car journey a week for cycling/walking, your reduction of CO2 output might be a lot more than you'd think.
Cycling already mitigating factor
The study also found that for those people who were already cycling, their carbon emissions from daily travel were 84% lower than those who didn't cycle.
But it's not simply about adding more cycling to your lifestyle, rather the report focuses on minimising existing high-emission activities, such as car journeys.
Dr Christian Brand added, "Doing more of a good thing combined with doing less of a bad thing – and doing it now – is much more compliant with a 'net zero' pathway and preserving our planet's and our own futures.
"Switching from car to active mobility is one thing to do, which would make a real difference, and we show here how good this can be in cities."

All metal hotends are great additions to your 3D printers. We sell our Tough All-Metal Hotend and even a Dual Hotend that all come with high-quality all-metal heat breaks. Manufacturers like E3D and MicroSwiss also sell hotends that are all-metal.
No matter what brand you have there are things that you need to be aware of when printing with an all-metal hotend if you want to have high success and great looking prints.
First off why would you want to upgrade to an all-metal hotend?
Most stock hotends can only handle up to 240C before you damage the hotend.
What is different from using a PTFE type hotend?
The main thing that new users who switch over to an all-metal hotend are that they notice that they get "jamming". This is where the filament cools in the heatbreak and sticks to the inside of the heatbreak. This is very rare with PTFE hotends that most printers come with since not much sticks to PTFE.
This occurs mainly with PLA because it is a starch-based plastic. Think of what happens if you cook food in a pan with no oil in it. The food sticks to the pan and is hard to get off. This is what happens when you get a jam.
We typically use about 2-3mm on our Bowden machines when fitted with our Tough Tube and 3-4mm when using stock PTFE tubing with the larger inside diameter.
Use the lowest amount of retraction that yields the best balance between print quality and risk of jamming. More retraction = higher chance of jamming.
Canola can be used to oil the filament before insertion to the printer or introduced on the filament by adding a filament oiler.
Put some parts of a sponge or cloth in the oiler with a few drops of oil on the medium you inserted into the oiler.
Do note that some people will say that Canola oil affects adhesion but we have not found any adverse effects and have been using this method for over 2 years on our own machines here as needed.
Once the heatbreak is clear (or new) shoot some Dry PTFE lube in there and let dry for 15 mins. Then you are ready to print. This usually lasts anywhere from 2-3 months from our testing and by the time it does wear off the heatbreak is usually "seasoned" well enough that jams are no longer an issue.
We love our all-metal hotends and its great knowing that we can print any material we want without having to further upgrade our printer.
We hope this article has been helpful to you and wish you Happy Printing!

Le Rossio est le nom historique de la place Don Pedro IV (en ) située dans la partie basse (Baixa) de la vieille ville de Lisbonne au Portugal. Son importance remonte au Moyen Âge et elle a été le théâtre de nombreuses célébrations, ainsi que de révoltes populaires et exécutions publiques. Située dans un quartier commerçant, elle est aujourd'hui un lieu très fréquenté par les Lisboètes et les touristes.

Elle a été rebaptisée pour rendre hommage à Pierre IV, roi de Portugal et premier empereur du Brésil (sous le nom de Pierre ) dont la statue en bronze surmonte une colonne dressée au centre de la place.

Ce serait sur cette place que, le , Céleste Caeiro, une employée de restaurant, aurait offert des œillets rouges aux soldats présents, insurgés contre la dictature salazariste. Ces fleurs, immédiatement adoptées par la population de Lisbonne puis du Portugal sont devenues l'emblème de la Révolution du 25 avril.

Sur cette place également, avait été brûlé le corps d'un nouveau chrétien pour avoir douté d'un miracle au monastère de São Domingos, le dimanche  - acte marquant le début du massacre de Lisbonne.

Fontaines
Deux fontaines baroques monumentales identiques ont été installées, en 1889, de part et d'autre du Monument à Pierre IV. Elles ont été coulées à la fonderie du Val d'Osne en France. Les statues qui ornent les fontaines - créées par le sculpteur français Mathurin Moreau et  agencées par Michel Joseph Liénard - représentent des personnages de la mythologie grecque. L'éclairage nocturne met en valeur l'ensemble.

The visual interface has been modified to make it much more user friendly and easy to use. The fonts are bigger by default, you can also adjust the font size from within the interface.
You can do almost all the configuration and setup from within the main interface itself. You need not go to a separate screen to configure whois or setup data table columns.
Watch My Domains SED will now show icons in the main interface to signal alerts. For example, you can use the expiry date highlight setting to show an alert icon for domains that will expiry within the next 60 days. This is very similar to the alart icons in the desktop editions.
The sub-domain manager is now more powerful than ever. The Category, Auto Filter and Custom Query options are available from within the subdomain manager also. You can categorize domains or add domains to lookup queue when using the subdomain manager also.
You can now add and edit the auto filters from within the interface. Previously this required the use of an extra script or phpmyadmin.
The custom queries are now part of the main interface. This is very similar to the display and lookup SQL options in Watch My Domains ISP (for Windows desktop). You can also quickly convert custom queries into auto-filters.
The custom query features in v3 replaces the 'reports' module in the earlier v2.x. The column setup used by the earlier 'reports' module is now available as the 'Custom 03' display group in the top toolbar.
Non administrative users will now have a much better experience. All domains that are viewable will be visible from under the 'All Domains' category. Previous version supported only the specific categories they were allowed to see and so there was no way to see all the domains in one place.
Non administrative users can now search and filter domains much more easily. All features available to administrators are available to non-administrative users also as long as they have the proper access rights.
Version 3 supports a basic audit trail. You will need to enable user authentication to see the audit logs.
