Hillside Farmacy is a restaurant and specialty grocery store located in the old Hillside Drugstore building beautifully restored using original pharmacy cabinetry. The menu consists of salads, sandwiches, cheese and charcuterie plates, oysters, new American style entrees and a full bar. The produce and meats served are purchased from the neighboring Eastside urban farms & Texas ranchers.
Our eggs come from Happy Chick Farms a family owned and operated sustainable pasture-raised organic egg farm in Lockhart, TX. Their hens are humanely raised outdoors, enjoy!
Hillside Farmacy is just as excellent as it is attractive.
Very educated staff. Loved the recommendations that were offered and love when the server has a real pov vs riding the fence. Everything was fresh, delicious and very flavorful. Will definitely return and recommend.
It was delightful, the French toast was yummy squared. A real treat on a Monday morning!
We had a picture perfect dining experience — the food was delicious, service was great and the noise level was perfect for dinner conversation with our friends. Can't wait to go again!
The chicken was unbelievable!! So glad I went with her recommendation. And reasonably priced for such incredible food!!
Wonderful dinner experience. Had only been here for a drink in the past. The ambiance inside in the evening is very cozy and feels like you are in a bistro in Paris. Really enjoyed sitting in the beautifully decorated room--terrific ambiance to dine. We ordered a variety of dishes among the 3 of us--everything on the menu sounded delicious. Started with the butternut squash bisque, which was served in a clear glass jar with pea tendrils on top--so pretty, and delicious as well. This would be my only criticism--it took at least 20 minutes to get the soup. As soon as we were finished with the soup, all the other dishes came out---crab cakes, salad nicoise, grilled redfish with cauliflower mash, and grilled brussel sprouts. All delicious and beautifully presented! Too bad we had no room for dessert. I will definitely be back. This is now one of my new favorite restaurants in Austin!
Brunch is great, but dinner was subpar across multiple dishes ordered.
A great environment and celebration was largely spoiled by poor service. With prices like these, you hope for more attention from a server (at least like a "Hi, how are you?"), but this server was quick, awkward, and may have been an in one of those shows where they put someone who's never done something in a new job and film it. You could have put her in any restaurant with any people and she wouldn't have had to change the script because it was so sparse. When going out to celebrate an anniversary, you want it to feel special, but not the case here. I've felt more cared for at Chipotle and I mean that.
Moreover, the steak was incredibly fatty (the actual meat was flavorful and I was happy with it, though). The fat was literally falling off of it and lumped into the fries. I thought one chunk of fat was a piece of garlic since it was completely off the steak and in the fries.
I usually love this restaurant. Unfortunately, on a recent evening our service just wasn't up to par. Our waiter apparently failed to put our order in even though we told him that we had to be out by a certain time. It's too bad, because the food was really good, and the atmosphere is quite charming. The waiter did eventually take responsibility for the delay (without any notice during our wait though), and the restaurant did comp our wine.
Wow the Texas steak was outstanding! I picked this restaurant based on menu and proximity to downtown concert we were attending later. I noticed they had keto friendly dishes. We were able to substitute the most delicious broccoli with garlic as well as greens for my hubby instead of standard yummy fries. I would definitely come back next time we are in town!
Great atmosphere. Shocked that they didn't have herbal teas.
Best friggin' burger of my life. V rarely do i pride myself on consuming an entire plate of french fries AND a burger - but man, did i slam that meal. Felt so bad/so good after, I ran nine miles before bed. But that's another story.
Ambiance and service were good but the food was a bit dull. The place seemed a bit worn out. The house salad needs to be more interesting....maybe some unique veggies, beets, croutons, etc.
We ordered the ice cream sandwich. It wasn't very good at all! At the very minimum, the cookies should have been warmed before serving. The cookies tasted like they were 4 days old and they were very hard. We had to hammer away at it with the but of a knife to crack the cookies into crumbs. No fun.
Salad greens wilted. Coffee not fresh. Entree was ok, not great . Very disappointed. Service was very good.
Service was slow and lacking. Food was great and ambiance was cool.
Very cute restaurant on the East side of Austin! We went for Valentine's Day so were unaware of the set menu and the price was higher than anticipated, but still so good. My boyfriend got the "boneless bird" and was the best, juiciest chicken we've ever eaten. Cheese plate was delicious and filled with treats grown locally. Overall great experience!
We were trying a new restaurant for Valentine's Day, and happily stumbled on this gem. The food was excellent and the service matched it. Great ambiance. The only thing we didn't care for was they had a Pre Fixe menu for Valentine's. We would have liked to have tried some of their other dishes off of their standard menu, but I understand why restaurants do this. Overall, a great experience for a nice romantic evening.
Food was inconsistent! Kale salad was barely washed and dressed. I had the Wild Boar and I received one piece that was over-cooked and too tough to eat; another piece was entirely raw and inedible. Husband's Oxtail was overly salty and did not contain the gnocchi as the menu listed.
This is a lovely restaurant but the portions were a bit skimpy given the entree descriptions. Neither my husband nor I have large appetites but it was disappointing to order the grilled chicken entree and receive a small piece sliced into thirds plus a wing section that was inedible. The broccoli side was fresh and flavorful, though. Our waiter was most attentive after delivering the check but this was probably an individual's character and not representative of the whole staff. I'd go again and give them the benefit of the doubt.
Good but not great food. Kind of pricey for what you get. Limited food menu. Fantastic service.
We went for dinner and ordered the grilled fish and steak entrees. The grilled fish was ok. The steak was a little undercooked in places and overcooked in others. A little strange (I ordered it medium-rare). We had the mac and cheese and brussel sprouts appetizers. The brussels were very good and the mac and cheese was decent. The main course, however, came out far too early (though our waitress poured me a free scotch to compensate a bit). A little overpriced for the quality of food and service.
Service leaves little to be desired. Kids running around sliding all over the floor doesn't match the $25 chicken price tag!
First time visiting and it was a great first impression. Great place for a date with your loved one or with a group of friends. The place is unpretentious, quaint and charming. Their timing and execution of the details were worthy of coming back again and again. I really enjoyed the Texas Steak, Roasted Chicken, Mac N Cheese and Crispy Brussel Sprouts. Service was top notch.
It was a perfect spot for my family birthday brunch. And everything and everyone was festive for the holidays. The food was amazzzzing.
Delicious meal, great service and really cute restaurant. Close to great bars to make a night of it after dinner, but they also had delicious cocktails there!
They were out of several menu items and substituted without even asking if okay or offering a discount.
Newbies to experience Hillside Farmacy. We had early dinner reservations on a Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed our meal.
We read other reviews and photos and knew that the majority of the tables are cafe style, so we wanted a little more room and noted it in our reservations.
When we arrived we were promptly greeted and shared that we had reservations. We were seated by the hostess at a cafe table, but were quickly relocated by a gentleman who said he saw our seating preference.
Hillside Farmacy is an imitate restaurant with detail to decor— loved the history on the walls. Our waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu; she answered all of our questions. We had a wonderful meal. We started off with a shrimp cocktail and cheese plate appetizer. For our entree, we ordered chops and the fish — then topped it off with a cream brûlée.
I must confess that my spouse is somewhat resistant to venture to the downtown area. However, I have been following Hillside Farmacy on Instagram and on Yelp and he followed my suggestion. We will be returning! We really want to join brunch, but know it will be packed— great food, atmosphere and service.
Food was amazing, out server was very attentive!
This was a super cute restaurant but lacked value in food. Super small portions on the fish and cauliflower. My husband had the boar chops- unique but tough- in all fairness the server offered to not charge us which was super nice but it's just not a worthy entree, although he did eat it as he knew it was wild game and could be a bit tough. Super small too tho. I had the niscoise salad and it was decent but not great. Pretty salty. REALLY wanted to give a better review as our server was so nice and the place is cute as can be. Worth a visit but we'd likely look for another option next time.
The mac 'n' cheese was phenomenal. And, my boyfriend said the cheeseburger was one of the best he's ever had. I had the short ribs and they were very good! We also really enjoyed the farmacy plate.
Kale salad was amazing as well as the messy cheeseburger!
Always enjoy the decor of this farm-to-table gem. Service was good, food was great. I had the Nicoise salad with Gulf Black Drum. Fish was well seasoned and perfectly cooked, though a bit on the smaller side. Partner had the burger, which she thoroughly enjoyed, with malt fries. Those seemed a bit odd with a bit of sweetness, but well cooked. Drinks, both alcoholic and non, were refreshing and tasty. Only small complaint was that the gazpacho soup was not gluten-free.
Our first time at this restaurant. The ambiance of this historic drugstore turned restaurant was great. The Tuesday @Adult Happy Meal": burger wit fries and an Old Fashioned for $15 is a steal. They also have raw oysters. The menu is somewhat limited however. The cookie ice cream sandwich was a good way to finish the meal.
Went there for the first time last week. Food was very good. Enjoyed sitting outside. Would have given it 5 stars except our service was not great. We had to go into the main restaurant twice to find our server. We told her we were in a hurry to get to a show and she did not come to take our order or deal with our bill in a timely manner.
This was an amazing venue with a wonderful menu! Everything was tasty with great service. This was my first visit to the Farmacy and will definitely return and recommend to others!


As part one of a double bill of Powerhouse Plays at Hope Mill Theatre – FLIGHT is a play following the RSPB founder Emily Williamson who began the Society whilst living in Didsbury at The Croft. Banned from joining the all male Ornithologists Union Emily began her own campaign against cruelty to birds at a time when the use of feathers in fashion was part of a multi million pound industry.
As a woman in the late 1800's it wasn't a path she was expected to follow. So how did she overcome derision and social expectation to create what became a national organisation, one that now has over one million members? Yet little is known of Emily and what she began at a time when marriage and children were supposed to be her only path. FLIGHT is a play about how hard it is to be a pioneer, marriage, fertility and finding your own identity in a world that wants you to be something else.

Tampa is more than ready for the return of their golden boys and to give the Bruins a not so friendly, rowdy welcome.
Holy Big Bad Bruins, Batman!
Last night. Wow. I think a few years have been shaved off my life. But hey! Guess what! We scored a PP goal!
That had to be one of the most chaotic games I've ever seen. Who would have thought between the 2 teams that 11 goals would be scored?! So much for a low scoring series.
Tampa scored first. My first thought?! …not again. Not even 10 seconds later, S bbm'd me: "was that quick or what???" I love her, but we certainly know how to get under each others skin when it comes to sports.
And then…the 2nd period happened. 5 goals. Who woulda thunk? We came back so fast, Roli's head spun.
Even Coach McSteamy couldn't figure it out.
I thought for sure there was going to be a major fight last night. Actually, S and I both did. Tempers were flaring early. But it seems whenever we say something about it, it never happens. Next time, I'll just keep my thoughts to myself.
But there was one very brave Bolt. Steve Downie.
Z: What are you doing, you little pest?!
It made me giggle when I saw little 5'11" 191lb Downie try to take on the 6'9" 255lb Human Tree. If Big Z even looked in my direction, I'd cry. But no, not Downie. He went in right for the kill. Props to you, Stevie. You've certainly gained my respect!
Well, that was Game 2. It certainly wasn't perfect and we still have a lot of work to do but now it's onto the Sunshine State. Stay focused boys. You can watch all the girls in bikini's you want ONCE the playoffs are over.
Congrats, Baby Seguin...we're so proud of you!!
Now after scoring such a beautiful goal like that, you'd think Claude would play him more right?! Wrong. The poor boy had a whopping 9:38 and a total of 11 shifts.


FREEPORT (CBS13) — The small historic Delta community of Freeport could soon be getting a new addition. A developer has submitted plans to build new homes on the Delta out of shipping containers.
The 900-square foot units would go up in an empty, overgrown lot that backs right up to the Sacramento Delta.
It's Mike Villanueva's passion project, to create more affordable housing in Sacramento County.
"I hate to use the word chic, but it's kind of industrial chic," Villanueva said.
Architectural plans Villanueva submitted to Sacramento County show the steel containers, built on stilts, so cars can fit under them, and residents can get a scenic view of the river.
The plans call for two, two bed, two bath units.
Tony Morabito lives right next to the lot where the new shipping container homes could go up.
"I don't know—it'd be different," Morabito said.
At first look, he's concerned it's not the right fit for this tight-knit community.
Villanueva still needs the planning department's approval for the project, which he knows could be a battle.
Villanueva says if he can make his Freeport development a success, he'd like to replicate it across the region to help with the housing affordability crisis.

SUNY Canton Unveils Financial Literacy Center
SUNY Canton held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Sept. 15 to celebrate the establishment of the college's Financial Literacy Center.
In operation for nearly a year, the center is located in Cook Hall and has been the site of numerous no-cost financial seminars and counseling services for community members, as well as high school and college students.
After a grand opening ceremony in SUNY Canton's new Financial Literacy Center, President Zvi Szafran invited all the donors who made the project possible for a photograph. Pictured are (l to r) Jonathan Eng, North Country Savings Bank retail banking specialist; Todd R. Mashaw, a 1988 SUNY Canton alumnus and St. Lawrence Federal Credit Union president and CEO; Todd D. Green, Alesco Advisors chief investment officer; Elizabeth A. Pier, St. Lawrence Federal Credit Union business and development manager; Linda L. Fay, SUNY Canton professor emeritus; Szafran; and Scott A. Wilson, SeaComm president and CEO.
"This center fills a critical need, given the economic challenges of our region," said SUNY Canton President Zvi Szafran. "We now have a place where business leaders, educators and professionals can come together to provide a resource that serves the people of St. Lawrence County."
Szafran also acknowledged the significant contributions from the center's financial sponsors: Alesco Advisors, Daniel G. and Linda L. Fay, North Country Savings Bank, SeaComm Federal Credit Union, St. Lawrence Federal Credit Union, and the SUNY Canton College Foundation.
"Their incredible support has made the Financial Literacy Center and Trading Lab possible," he said.
Dean of the School of Business and Liberal Arts Jondavid S. DeLong highlighted the programs the center has hosted during the past year, including free tax-preparation assistance and money management guidance for low-income community members; a financial literacy presentation for high school students in conjunction with BOCES; retirement seminars; and loan repayment advice for college students.
To date, the programs have served more than 120 community members, 500 high school students and 100 college students.
Another unique benefit of the center, DeLong added, is its value to augment classroom learning for SUNY Canton students. Those who have completed a tax preparation course in the fall semester assist community members with filing their income taxes in the spring.
"Our students will gain the practical experience they'll need to get a job after they've graduated," he said. "And at the same time help the community."
Upcoming Financial Literacy Center programs include a "Mad City Money" experience in April 2017, where every high school student in St. Lawrence County will converge on SUNY Canton's campus to participate in an education simulation game that gives them the opportunity to make adult financial decisions based on fictitious scenarios.
SUNY Canton is Northern New York's premier college for career-driven bachelor's degrees, associate degrees and professional certificate programs. The college delivers quality hands-on programs in engineering technology, health, management and public service and recently received number one rankings in library resources, library services and tutoring services in the SUNY Student Opinion Survey. The college's faculty members are noted for their professional real-world experience in addition to outstanding academic credentials. SUNY Canton OnLine offers hundreds of flexible and convenient courses as well as ten exclusively online bachelor's degrees. The college's 15 athletic teams compete as members of the NCAA Division III.

Canton's Dan Fay Wins SUNY Chancellor's Top Faculty Award
SUNY Canton Accounting Professor and 2011 Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Faculty Service recipient Daniel G. Fay at the College's recent Honors Convocation celebration.
A faculty member with more than four decades of service to SUNY Canton and numerous ties to the Town and Village of Canton will receive one of the highest recognitions possible from the State University of New York.
Accounting Professor Daniel G. Fay will be recognized as a recipient of Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher's Award for Excellence in Faculty Service at SUNY Canton's 103rd Commencement Ceremony to be held 10:30 a.m. Saturday, May 21, in the College's brand-new athletic center, nicknamed Roos House.
"Professor Fay has an indelible love for accounting and business education," SUNY Canton President Joseph L. Kennedy said. "Within the SUNY Canton Community, he's embraced and helped shape our College as it stands today, and his commitment will be recognized for years to come. I'm proud SUNY has chosen to bestow this award for his unwavering support and service to our College."
As a faculty member, Fay has influenced generations of students who have become among the most prominent alumni at the College. He is well known and highly regarded as an outstanding educator and community leader. According to letters of support from faculty members and students, he strives to provide every opportunity to increase scholarship, diversity and positive relationships. His unwavering dedication has been described as "amazing" and "unsurpassed."
"Professor Fay offers a high level of excellence in his professional knowledge and in the high standards he maintains in his teaching," said Assistant Professor of Finance Umesh Kumar, Fay's professional colleague. "He is simply an outstanding individual. I especially appreciate his ability to be a caring, proactive and effective educator."
Fay has been an active board member of the SUNY Canton College Foundation for more than 20 years. He has helped create student scholarships through the Eileen and George Fay Endowment and the Linda Fay Endowment. Additionally, he's helped create the SUNY Canton Investment Club, which analyzes and recommends investments for the College Foundation.
"We can learn a lot from Dan beyond his keen business sense and accounting abilities," said Julie A. Parkman, Associate Director for Advancement. "He teaches his students and peers alike that they can accomplish anything by working hard, being confident and courteous, while remembering to help others."
Fay is a Town of Canton Councilman, an area business owner, and an active member of the Knights of Columbus. He's served as a St. Lawrence County Legislator and a member of the Canton Highway, Audit, and Recreation Committees.
Sports have played a large role in his life. Included in Fay's athletic accomplishments are his intercollegiate wrestling career and his participation on the U.S. Bobsled team during the 1971 Winter Games. He has coached lacrosse for second-grade students and was an assistant varsity lacrosse coach at Canton's Hugh C. Williams High School for numerous years. His excellent record has led him to be inducted into Clarkson University's Hall of Fame and Massena Central High School's Hall of Fame. He was also inducted into the Hugh C. Williams High School Hall of Fame as an outstanding supporter of local athletics.
After the recent retirement of Biology Professor Michael M. Peebles, Fay became the senior-most faculty member at the College. Peebles passed on his duties to Fay at SUNY Canton's Honors Convocation, which included carrying the College's ceremonial mace at formal events. Fay will lead the procession of faculty for the first time at this year's Commencement – the very same day he will receive public recognition for this prestigious award.
Dan is married to SUNY Canton Distinguished Professor Emeritus Linda L. Fay, who was recognized last year when the College chose to name Honors Convocation in her honor. They have three children, Mrs. Steven (Kelley) Glasgow, Edward, and John, and two grandchildren, Garret and Paige.
He is also closely associated with Anywar Ricky Richard, a former childhood soldier and the founder of Friends of Orphans, an organization that supports former child soldiers in Uganda, Africa. The Fays brought Richard to SUNY Canton as a guest speaker. His speech is widely remembered as one of the most poignant and informative lectures at the College.
Media inquiries should be directed to Gregory Kie, Media Relations Coordinator, or call 315/386-7528.

Lifford greyhound track is set to benefit from a digital transformation after the Irish Greyhound Board (IGB) announced a five-year technology partnership which will see the sport enhance its customer experience.
The IGB has signed a contract with Innovate Business Technology for the delivery of cloud managed services which will bring greyhound racing much closer to its followers both on and off track.
Innovate, a leading Irish cloud service and IT solutions provider, will provide an infrastructure that will enable IGB to expand the use of video services, seamlessly cope with peaks in betting demand, and also improve their on-premise customer experience.
The service involves the migration of the IGB's infrastructure from Amazon Web Services to Microsoft Azure, and optimises the company's investment to allow for future growth and innovation.
Innovate will also deliver productivity solutions to IGB's staff, allowing them to work more securely and efficiently using Microsoft Office 365 suite of products
"The Irish Greyhound Board is continually looking to use technology to enhance the customer experience, both within our stadia and for clients remotely accessing our services," said Joe Lewins, Director of Tote and Wagering.
"Our partnership with Innovate will produce many obvious boosts to the racing consumer, such as enabling us to seamlessly integrate their tote betting, refreshments, food and drink onto a single payment point.
Jim Hughes, Innovate CEO, said that the experience that his team brings to customer digital transformation, combined with the support of partners such as Microsoft, proved a compelling proposition for the Irish Greyhound Board.

The 'White Guy Blinking' Looks Back (and Blinks) on Life As 2017's Biggest Meme
By Sean Fitz-Gerald
Published on 12/19/2017 at 8:29 AM
This browser does not support the video tag.
Drew Scanlon | CBS Interactive
Drew Scanlon had a big year.
Retired football player Terrell Owens used him when addressing his Hall of Fame snub; director Ava DuVernay and Stephen Colbert used him when referencing Donald Trump; hell, even a Dutch talk show used him. If you were living on the internet in 2017 and you were baffled by something? Scanlon was there for you. Blindsided by someone's idiocy? Scanlon was there for you too. In GIF form, at least. Scanlon's the man whose face you would have used to convey those reactions. He's the face of the 'White Guy Blinking" meme, one of the biggest of the year.
What's it like when your face becomes world-famous?
"It's been weirder for the people who know me than it has been for me," Scanlon, 31, tells Thrillist over the phone. When the meme exploded in February, his friends, family, and followers freaked. Some were stunned. Some applauded his comedic timing. Others wondered if he was Michael C. Hall or Cary Elwes from The Princess Bride. ("Nope, that's just my dumb face.")
The GIF comes from a live stream shot in 2013, when Scanlon was a video producer at the popular gaming website Giant Bomb. During one of the team's weekly "Unprofessional Fridays" shows, Scanlon watched as editor-in-chief Jeff Gerstmann played Starbound, a two-dimensional action-adventure game. "I've been doing some farming," Gerstmann narrated, "with my hoe." Without missing a beat, Scanlon reacted much the same way Jim Halpert might have.
"When we're doing videos like that," Scanlon explains, "we're very aware of the audience."
"We deadpan a lot," adds Gerstmann. "When you get into double entendre and stuff like that, we just kind of plow through it and let the audience pick up the pieces. There's a lot of goofy shit in and around video games, so you're going to hit upon something like that along the way."
Gerstmann and his cohorts live to entertain -- "Unprofessional Fridays" is often a two-hour show after all -- and many of their finest, wackiest moments turn into GIFs circulated by Giant Bomb fans. In fact, if you search Scanlon's name, or "Giant Bomb" plus "GIFs," you'll find all sorts of weird shit. Getting memed is essentially part of the job description.
Giant Bomb's winks at the audience might be intentional, but in this case, what happened two years later was not. In 2015, a NeoGAF commenter zoomed in on Scanlon's fluttery eyes and used the now-famous GIF to react to a comic strip. In 2017, that same GIF erupted on Twitter and Instagram. "That wasn't one of the more popular [Giant Bomb GIFs at the time]," recalls Scanlon, "but for some reason, through internet chaos theory, that one rose to the top in early 2017." Why? Maybe it had something to do with the way GIF-sharing services were cataloging images. Or maybe it's because the GIF, when taken out of context, could extend outside video game circles to... almost anybody?
It did. And it became huge -- even earning unofficial Twitter accounts. But why now? Four years later? The GIF itself is a little more complex than the more image-macro, Impact-font memes that ruled 2013 (Grumpy Cat, Philosoraptor, and Ermahgerd girl to name a few). "I think the pervasiveness of it also has to do with the fact that there are so many crazy things happening in 2017," Scanlon says. "If it was more of a calmer year maybe we wouldn't see it as much." Fair.
The first major use of the meme Scanlon saw in the wild was this biology example, which cracked him up.
It's still one of Scanlon's favorites. "That showed the perfect way for [the GIF] to be used," he says. "It was just a really well-crafted tweet." Twitter users took the template and ran with it, catapulting Scanlon's blinks into the meme Hall of Fame. Cosmopolitan quickly called it the "most relatable meme ever," and by the end of 2017, it would become Tenor's most-used GIF of the year. The Giant Bomb audience still lets Scanlon know whenever they see their moms use it on Facebook. "That's how this stuff starts, right?" Gerstmann wonders. "The right person, the right place, the right time, and that stuff just takes off."
So, does being the face of a massively popular meme have its perks? Surprisingly, Scanlon is rarely recognized on the street or hounded for autographs. He provides a theory: "People don't expect memes to be real people. People understand that actors are real people that play in movies. But people don't expect that from me. Memes just come from the internet. That GIF is also so many times removed that when you see the original source it doesn't make any sense."
While there's little monetary gain in GIF virality (the original video is the property of CBS Interactive), being a famous meme does help with Scanlon's current project, Cloth Map, a Patreon-supported video series that examines the "similarities between cultures through the lens of games." You can't write his name without an obligatory parenthetical: Drew Scanlon (aka The Blinking White Guy). "That can only help," he says, "in terms of reach."
The fame also comes with a reminder. "When you're on camera so much, as part of your job, you develop a sort of filter," he says. "Or at least a sort of awareness of what you're saying." If you slip up, the internet lets you know. Users can sometimes take comments, or in this case, facial expressions, out of context. Thankfully, Scanlon's is fairly innocuous. "[Memes] can be really useful and interesting forms of expression," he adds, noting that they're almost like a language that has developed on the internet. When you're talking to someone in person, for example, you can respond with body language that contains nuance or subtext. You couldn't really do that in the days of AIM. Now? You can. Scanlon just hopes that -- like many good things on the internet -- his face isn't one day used for evil.
"It's out of my hands," he quips. "Use it wisely."

Four men answer call to priesthood
Posted by The Catholic Key on 3:43 pm in Catholic Key, News

KANSAS CITY — No priests, no Mass, no Eucharist.
Bishop Robert W. Finn took special pride May 24 in ordaining four men for the "indispensable" ministry of priesthood for the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.
The diocese's newest priests are:
• Father John Robert Fitzpatrick, who has been assigned to St. Andrew Parish in Gladstone, and to St. Pius X High School in Kansas City, north.
• Father Leonard Gicheru, who has been assigned to Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish in Kansas City.
• Father Daniel Christopher Gill, who has been assigned to St. John LaLande Parish in Blue Springs.
• Father Eric Anthony Schneider, who has been assigned to Cathedral of St. Joseph and pastoral care of St. Patrick Parish in St. Joseph.
"Jesus Christ calls us together today to carry out a great work of sanctification and ministry," Bishop Finn told the congregation and the newly ordained priests in his homily.
"It is his church, his work, his grace and mercy in the hearts of these four men that is the cause of our celebration," he said.
"The love of a priest continues in a supernatural and efficacious way the love of Jesus the High Priest," he said. "It accomplishes something beyond human measure in the faithful who are served."
Bishop Finn urged the congregation to pray for these men, and also to pray for more men to be called and to respond like they did.
"Because the ministry of the ordained priest is indispensable, pray also that more men will be called by God to the priesthood, and that they will respond to this vocation with generosity and trust," Bishop Finn said.
At the center of their ministry is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, he said.
"No other source of spiritual life and strength is as important to you as the Mass," Bishop Finn said.
"I say this to all of us as priests, determine to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass every day. It is one of the most important reasons Jesus Christ established his Holy Order of Priests of the New Covenant.
"The Eucharist renews the Lord's sacrifice and applies its fruits for the sake of the whole people of God, living and dead," he said.
"The Eucharist is necessary for the life of the world, and Jesus entrusted it uniquely to us as priests. The (Second Vatican) Council teaches with such clarity: The Eucharistic sacrifice is the source and summit of the whole Christian life. It is the source of the priest's pastoral love," Bishop Finn said.
But there are other duties that only an ordained priest can perform, he said.
"One of our most privileged priestly duties is as minister of the Sacrament of Penance," Bishop Finn said.
"In confession, you will forgive sins and foster reconciliation with the people of God," he said. "Make clear to the faithful that the Sacrament of Reconciliation is a vital part of your life. Love confession for the sake of your own sanctification and as an opportunity to extend the Father's mercy to others. Be available to God's people in this sacrament and they will come to you, drawn by the grace of the Holy Spirit."
Bishop Finn urged the new priests to "promote the dignity and respect for all human life from its inception until natural death."
"Support with particular zeal those persons who have no voice of their own: the unborn, those with special needs, the aged and the dying," he said.
"Be in solidarity with those who suffer injustices in our society, those who are the target of prejudice, the poor, the migrant and the refugee," he said.
"Defend the integrity of marriage and the family which are at the core of our society," Bishop Finn said.
"These teachings of the church stand in sharp contrast to the prevailing culture. With gentle and persevering love, and even ready to share in the suffering of Christ, you must guard the meaning and central importance of this union of Holy Matrimony which God has designed to bring children into the world and nurture them in security and sanctity," Bishop Finn said.
"Many couples, seeking to live faithfully the church's teachings on the transmission of human life, look to you for encouragement and support. Lead them and walk with them as spiritual fathers and guides," he said.
Bishop Finn told the new priests that celibacy is a special source of grace "by which you are free to give yourself completely to the church with an undivided heart."
"In this way, it will be clear to you that you belong entirely to Jesus Christ and your love for others will be at the same time deeply personal and all-embracing," he said.
"By your example you will inspire others to live an outgoing love which is pure and joyful," he said.
Bishop Finn reminded the new priests that there are two special saints they can always depend upon.
"Be close to Mary, to whom our Lord entrusted us all at the foot of the cross," he said. "She is the mother of the High Priest. She is the mother of all priests.
"When your pastoral duties weigh upon you, ask St. Joseph, guardian of the Redeemer, patron of the universal church and our diocesan patron, to help you carry the load without becoming discouraged," Bishop Finn said.

Annan Athletic deservidly lifted the points against promotion candidates Edinburgh City with an excellent energetic display to dent City's push for the title. It was super victory for the Galabankies which was fully merited and retains Annan's push for play off place.
Manager Peter Murphy was once again forced to make changes with on loan Rangers player Kyle Bradley being unavailable due to an injury received while playing a mid week friendly match for the Glasgow side. Ayrton Sonkur replaced Hooper at the centre of the Annan defence with Scott Hooper taking over the role normally taken by Bradley in mid field. Within 15 minutes Sonkur had to leave the field after sustaining an injury to his ankle meaning a return to the centre of defence by captain Peter Watson.
The opening minutes were frantic with Hooper clearing Shepherd's effort off the goal line following a corner kick and at the other end Moxon rifled a shot over the bar followed by an Aidan Smith effort which failed to hit the target. Chris Johnston then missed a golden opportunity when the ball appeared to get stuck between his feet with the goal at his mercy.
It was a promising start by Annan then at the other end Mitchell tipped over Balatoni's header from a corner kick. Watson then came on for the injured Sonkur. Mitchell then had to deal with a routine Graham Taylor effort. The game was flowing from end to end, Aidan Smith then tested Antell with a well struck shot. Moxon then made a penetrating run down the left finishing with an inviting ball into the path of Smith who blasted the ball over the bar.
Annan were enjoying a good spell in the match and Watson came close with a header from a Chris Johnston corner kick with keeper Callum Antell pulling off an important save. At the other end Annan averted a dangerous situation by catching the Edinburgh side offside.
As the half progressed City then went ahead after Shepherd won a penalty kick. The dangerous City forward forced Watson into a tackle on the bye line with the tackle giving the Referee a decision to make and a penalty was awarded with Blair Henderson tucking the ball into the corner of the net to give City a very welcome lead.
Annan finished the half once again taking the game to City with Johnston continuing to be a menace down the right flank as he was all afternoon.
Annan started the second half where they left off the first taking the game to City and within a minute they struck gold with a stunning 22yard volley from David Wilson which left City keeper Callum Antell rooted to the spot as the shot flew into the top corner of the net. It was a goal fitting to win any match but it got Annan back on level terms.
The goal gave Annan the impetus and they continued to cause alarm down the right flank. Muir was then booked for what appeared like a fair challenge on keeper Antell as the Annan striker and the keeper challenged for the ball.
Annan then had a scare in the 60th minute when Swinglehurst had to leave the field with an ankle injury but the dominant centre half made a welcome return minutes later. Moxon won a free kick in the edge of the box as Annan pressed forward to try and get their noses in front. At the other end Mitchell dropped a high cross ball to present a half chance to the home team but the opportunity passed and City failed to take advantage.
The play then switched to the other end as Annan forced a couple of corner kicks and from the second corner kick it was ex Annan striker Blair Henderson under pressure who headed the ball over his own goal line to give Annan a slender but well deserved lead in the 74th minute.
As the match entered the final minutes City pressed hard for an opening and it took a super block from Scott Hooper to deny Robbie McIntyre in the 84th minute. As City pressed forward it left them exposed at the back and Moxon then headed into keeper Antells hands.
All in all it was a very entertaining match with Annan winning for the first time against the teams above them , the defeat is a dent to City's title aspirations and the victory leaves Annan in with a chance of the fourth play off place.
One final word the equalising goal scored by David Wilson was an absolute screamer and fitting for any goal of the month award. Annans next task is to try and repeat the performance against Top of the table Peterhead at Annan next Saturday.
ANNAN ATHLETIC- Alex Mitchell, Scott Hooper, James Creaney, David Wilson, Arton Sonkur ( Peter Watson 15 min ), Steven Swinglehurst, Owen Moxon, Ryan Sinnamon, Aidan Smith, Tommy Muir, Chris Johnston. SUBS NOT USED- Aidan McCadams, Ross Ferguson, Tony Wallace , Lewis Strapp, Peter Murphy.
With the Scottish Cup taking centre stage at the week end there was only another 2 SPFL matches played. Peterhead moved back to the top of the table with a 2-0 victory over Berwick with the second goal coming in injury time and Queens Park and Stirling Albion had to be content with a share of the points in a 1-1 draw at Forthbank.

Abstract. When people use maps to plan and memorize a route, they commonly look for landmark representations in the form of pictograms that can be used as reference points for orientation (Anacta et al., 2017; Bestgen et al., 2016; Steck & Mallot, 2000). During navigation, matching the positions of landmark pictograms with the positions of the represented objects allows them to verify that they are following the route correctly (Golledge, 1999). When route planning functions of web mapping services as OpenStreetMap or Google Maps are used, the width of the map margins around the displayed route determines which, and how many, landmark representations are displayed in the map. Therefore, margin widths should be selected based on the relevance of specific landmarks around the route for memorizing and following the route. However, this requires to identify task-relevant landmark representations first.
In order to identify factors predicting the task-relevance of landmark pictograms, we carried out two route recognition experiments on an eye-tracker monitor. These experiments examined how the relative position of landmark pictograms and the visual complexity of the map affect gaze pattern when a route is memorized. We hypothesized that landmark pictograms close to the route, decision points and potential decision points would receive more visual attention, as they can act as local reference points. Additionally, we expected that more distant landmark pictograms receive visual attention if the visual complexity of the map is low and therefore less reference points for memorizing the route are available.
The results demonstrate that the relative position of a landmark pictograms is indeed a relevant predictor for visual attention. The closer landmark pictograms were to the route, decision points or potential decision points, the longer they were fixated. As expected, the average distance of all fixated landmark pictograms was also higher in maps with a low visual complexity. We conclude that small map margins around the route may be applied if a map has a high visual complexity, as enough reference points are available in the close surroundings of the route. Additionally, reducing map margins would increase the presentation size of the remaining map elements and thereby their readability. However, in maps with a low visual complexity, e.g. rural areas, large margins around the route should be applied to provide a sufficient amount of visual reference points, as landmark pictograms, for memorizing the route.

Q: Angular: trying to add recaptcha. Error => No value accessor for form control with name: 'captcha' So I followed a tutorial on how to add recaptcha to a form to prevent spam. I followed all the steps, but I still get the following error:
 error inside log Error: No value accessor for form control with name: 'captcha'
    at _throwError (forms.js:2139)
    at setUpControl (forms.js:2008)
    at FormGroupDirective.addControl (forms.js:5144)
    at FormControlName._setUpControl (forms.js:5743)
    at FormControlName.ngOnChanges (forms.js:5684)
    at checkAndUpdateDirectiveInline (core.js:11642)
    at checkAndUpdateNodeInline (core.js:13252)

I have a reactive signup form where I have the following element that's supposed to be the captcha and a formControl. BUt unfortunately I see nothing.
<div nbRecaptcha key="6LfNfHYUAAAAAFaa7dVi2au1tnfod-2eR3Rb2enM" formControlName="captcha"></div>

This is the nbRecaptcha directive:
declare const grecaptcha: any;

declare global {
  interface Window {
    grecaptcha: any;
    reCaptchaLoad: () => void
  }
}

@Directive({
  selector: '[nbRecaptcha]',
  providers: [ReCaptchaAsyncValidator]
})
export class RecaptchaDirective implements OnInit, ControlValueAccessor, AfterViewInit {
  @Input() key: string;
  @Input() config: ReCaptchaConfig = {};
  @Input() lang: string;

  private control: FormControl;

  private onChange: ( value: string ) => void;
  private onTouched: ( value: string ) => void;
  private widgetId: number;

  constructor(
    private element: ElementRef,
    private ngZone: NgZone,
    private injector: Injector,
    private reCaptchaAsyncValidator: ReCaptchaAsyncValidator){}

  ngOnInit() {
    this.registerReCaptchaCallback();
    this.addScript();
  }

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    this.control = this.injector.get(NgControl).control;
    this.setValidator();
  }

  addScript() {
    let script = document.createElement('script');
    const lang = this.lang ? '&hl=' + this.lang : '';
    script.src = `https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?onload=reCaptchaLoad&render=explicit${lang}`;
    script.async = true;
    script.defer = true;
    document.body.appendChild(script);
  }

  //  We need to notify the formControl that it's valid if we get the token
  // from the onSuccess function or that it's invalid if the onExpired function is called.

  onExpired() {
    this.ngZone.run(() => {
      this.onChange(null);
      this.onTouched(null);
    });
  }

  onSuccess( token: string ) {
    this.ngZone.run(() => {
      this.verifyToken(token);
      this.onChange(token);
      this.onTouched(token);
    });
  }

  //  these are the three methods that controlValueAccessor requires

  writeValue( obj: any ): void {
  }

  registerOnChange( fn: any ): void {
    this.onChange = fn;
  }

  registerOnTouched( fn: any ): void {
    this.onTouched = fn;
  }

  private setValidator() {
    this.control.setValidators(Validators.required);
    this.control.updateValueAndValidity();
  }

  registerReCaptchaCallback() {
    window.reCaptchaLoad = () => {
      const config = {
        ...this.config,
        'sitekey': this.key,
        'callback': this.onSuccess.bind(this),
        'expired-callback': this.onExpired.bind(this)
      };
      this.widgetId = this.render(this.element.nativeElement, config);
    };
  }

  private render( element: HTMLElement, config ): number {
    return grecaptcha.render(element, config);
  }

  verifyToken( token : string ) {
    this.control.setAsyncValidators(this.reCaptchaAsyncValidator.validateToken(token))
    this.control.updateValueAndValidity();
  }
}

And the signup component form:
this.mySignupForm = new FormGroup({
          captcha: new FormControl()
        });

Can Anyone see what I did wrong?

A: The error No value accessor for form control with name: 'captcha'. This can be resolved by adding the directive/control to list of all available NG_VALUE_ACCESSORs using forwardRef. You are effectively extending the multi-provider for NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR so that this directive can access ControlValueAccessor.
@Directive({
  selector: '[nbRecaptcha]',
  providers: [
    {
      provide: NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR,
      useExisting: forwardRef(() => RecaptchaDirective),
      multi: true
    },
    ReCaptchaAsyncValidator
  ]
})

Here is a mostly working example with that specific error being resolved. I had to remove some of the custom classes/configurations you had in your example as I wasn't aware of their exact implementations.
I could not find official documentation for creating custom controls, but there are a few solid articles out there discussing creating custom controls that reference this necessary registration.
Hopefully that helps!

A: Sometimes we get this kind of error when import it in app.module instead of the own module where we need to use . for example
///app.module.ts
import { RecaptchaModule, RecaptchaFormsModule  } from "ng-recaptcha";
imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    RecaptchaModule,
    RecaptchaFormsModule
]

move it to --->
///x.module.ts
import { RecaptchaModule, RecaptchaFormsModule  } from "ng-recaptcha";
@NgModule({
  imports: [
    FormsModule,
    RecaptchaModule,
    RecaptchaFormsModule,
],
providers:[
   {
     provide: RECAPTCHA_SETTINGS,
      useValue: { siteKey: environment.recaptcha.siteKey } as RecaptchaSettings,
    },
]

Q: Store , Show and Delete items in session array I am trying to save registered product id session in array, and delete any of the product from the session array using the id but it only save one and replace it when i post new product. I have searched online but still couldn't get what will help me fix this.
<?php
session_start();
//Saving session
if(!empty($_SESSION["items"])){
$_SESSION["items"] = array();
$_SESSION["items"][] = $_POST['product_id'];
}else{
$_SESSION["items"] = $_POST['product_id'];
}

//Get one session
echo $_SESSION["items"][$_POST['product_id']];

//Delete one session
unset($_SESSION["items"][$_POST['product_id']]);
?>

Example 2
<?php
session_start();
$product_id = '300';
$itemID = 'C';
if (!isset($_SESSION['items'])) {
  $_SESSION['items'] = array();
  $_SESSION['items'][$itemID] = array('code' => $product_id);
}else{
    $_SESSION["items"][$itemID][] = $product_id;
}
echo $_SESSION["items"]['A']['code']; // This is not showing anything
var_dump($_SESSION["items"]); // below array is what i get
?>

array(3) { ["A"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(3) "100" } ["B"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(3) "200" } ["C"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(3) "300" } }

Please can anyone assist me on how i can get this right

A: When there is no items in your session, you save it in the $_SESSION['items']. While when there is one item in it, you create a new array to save it, and drop the old value, and save the new item in the new array.
So there is only one item or array with one item or none item in your session.
Just replace your if eles statement to this, to avoid of the warning you can add @ at the beging of the assignment, or test if its set before the assignment.
$_SESSION["items"][] = $_POST['product_id'];

A: Example Code:
$product_id = '300';
$itemID = 'C';
if (!isset($_SESSION['items'])) {
    $_SESSION['items']=[];
}
$_SESSION["items"][$itemID]['code']=$product_id;
var_export($_SESSION["items"]);

Output:
array (
  'C' =>
  array (
    'code' => '300',
  ),
)

Every added $product_id will have a key of code.  That subarray will be inside of $itemID which will be inside of items which will be inside of $_SESSION.


I don't remember much of this weekend. I know there was rain, a headache, a call to mom, and lots of sleep. I was probably awake for a cumulative 10 hours Saturday and Sunday.
I have no idea what caused that 56-hour bug, but it left me better than it found me. Not to get all Sound of Music on you, but life was pretty good today.
Nothing extraordinary happened, I just had one of those days where I realized how good I have it. Don't get me wrong, life isn't perfect, but it's pretty damn good, especially when it's cherry season.
This part of Italy is known for cherries, and they really are worth talking about. The ladies at the local cherry stand sell one kilogram baskets, but I can take down a kilogram of cherries in one sitting. So today I asked for the whole crate.
They looked at each other and one of them asked me if I seriously wanted seven kilograms (about 15.5 pounds) of cherries.
Immediately after I took this picture I sat at my outside table with my feet up and ate cherries until my stomach hurt.
This weekend was not one for the record books, but as Monday's go, this one was pretty fantastic.
There is a whole Cherry Festival in Marostica, you should go!
those cherries look amazing!!!! i want some!
I still have about 12 pounds left, come to Italy and you are welcome to them!
italy? i am so there!!!!!!!!!!!
They are so good…there will be a festival in Castegnero in a few weeks too, another area ripe with cherries. Yummy!

South Africa back on UK travel red list
The United Kingdom has temporarily banned flights from South Africa and five of its neighbors.
The UK says it's concerned over the discovery of a new COVID-19 variant.

Lieutenant Colonel Paul-Henri Damiba, the new military leader of Burkina Faso has given his first speech since taking over power.
On Monday, January 24, Damiba led a coup that ousted President Roch Kaboré. He blamed the president for failing to contain violence by Islamist militants. His move follows moves in other African countries Mali, Guinea and Sudan who have carried out successful coups in recent times.
The coup has been met with swift condemnation by the African Union, ECOWAS and the United Nations.
Wearing a red beret and army fatigues, Lt-Col Damiba on Thursday night, January 27, addressed the country for the first time on national television since taking power. He promised a return to the normal constitutional order "when the conditions are right".
"When the conditions are right, according to the deadline that our people will define in all sovereignty, I commit to a return to a normal constitutional order," he said.
Lt-Col Damiba, 41, said he will meet representatives of various sections of society to agree on a roadmap for reform.
He added that Burkina Faso needs international partners "more than ever", following condemnation of the coup.
"I call on the international community to support our country so it can exit this crisis as soon as possible."
Former president, Kaboré had faced growing discontent over his failure to stem an Islamist insurgency in the country.
Lt-Col Damiba, has been at the forefront of the fight against Islamist militants and even wrote a book on the topic last year.
Guinea and Mali have had sanctions imposed on them by regional bloc Ecowas to force them to return to constitutional order.
Ecowas says it will meet on Friday January 28, to discuss how to respond to the Burkina Faso's latest coup.

Bruins Wrap-Up Day Notes: Injuries and Departures
Published On June 26, 2013 | By Tyler Scionti
While the bitter taste of the Stanley Cup Finals loss to the Chicago Blackhawks still remains with the Bruins organization, it is time to prepare for the offseason. There were numerous injuries leading up to the end of the season and the Bruins will have their hands full with deals to make in the coming months, so let's break down what has been going on in the past week.
Patrice Bergeron was the big story in the Stanley Cup Finals once the details of his extensive injuries were revealed to fans. Bergeron played through Game 6 with a a broken rib, torn cartilage, and a separated shoulder. Some reports also say that after an examination Bergeron was found with a small hole in his lung during the playoffs, making him very fortunate to be as stable as he is. Bergeron has been hospitalized since the game for observation, and the hope is that can make a speedy recovery and be ready for the next season.
What is even more amazing about Bergeron though is that when it came to talking about the pain after Game 6, his main concern was the loss not his own personal health.
"There's not many words that can be said right now," Bergeron said. "It's definitely tough to lose, especially at this time, after everything we've been through. You work so hard just to get to this point and give yourself a chance to get the Cup. And you feel like you're right there, and you have a chance to force Game 7. Definitely it hurts."
The Bruins also have some big decisions to make when it comes to signing players. The Bruins had a very talented team going into this past season, and maintaining that core group will be key to a successful season next year. Nathan Horton showed his endurance and toughness by playing with a shoulder injury and goes into this offseason as an unrestricted free agent. He may not get the deal he is looking for with Boston though, as the Bruins won't be breaking the bank to keep him and don't have a lot of cap space to re-sign him. Still he has been a key part of their roster and big part of their success.
Andrew Ference is the only other unrestricted free agent, although his chances of staying in Boston are slimmer than Horton's. Ference admitted to the media Wednesday that he probably won't be able to return as a Bruin next season and hinted at his departure on Twitter as well:
I've read every message.Thank you doesn't seem sufficient.This team, fans and city are incredible. It's been an honor to become a Bostonian.
— Andrew Ference (@Ferknuckle) June 26, 2013
One guy who definitely won't be returning is Jaromir Jagr. He also apparently played through a few injuries according to the same report as well. It certainly will be interesting to see what Jagr decides to do. Given his skill set and experience there are plenty of teams that will be willing to take him on, but he may also decide it is finally time to retire.

Although some people make their own moulds for casting resin pen blanks, it's quite a complicated and involved process to get it right, with a lot of trial and error. To save all the messing around, we have teamed up with PenBlanksAndMoulds who by a long, long margin, in our opinion make quite simply the best commercially available pen blank moulds in the UK.
We have them available here to suit all Beaufort pen kits, along with an extra long double block mould which casts a double blank both long and wide enough to to be cut in half, allowing all parts of two kitless pens to be made from the same stock.
There are two types of silicone in common use for mould making - Condensation Cure (sometimes called Tin Cure) and Addition Cure (sometimes called Platinum Cure).
On the other hand, Addition Cure does not suffer from that problem and is the type recommended by almost all resin manufacturers for casting clear types of PU resin. It's a bit more expensive but it means that the same mould can be used for every type of resin, not just the opaque ones, which when casting around a tube, clear resin is usually the the whole point, is it not?
Consequently, all of our moulds are made from Addition Cure silicone.
What are they made from? - Its important!


On August 20, 2015, my wife, Bernadette, and I saw the Beach Boys at Maryland Live Casino in Hanover, Maryland, and presented a copy of Becoming the Beach Boys, 1961-1963, to Mike Love and Bruce Johnston. Not realizing he would be there, I offered to send a copy to David Marks. They thumbed through it, commenting on some of the photos and the early days. They could not have been more gracious. It was a bit surreal when Mike asked me to autograph his copy of the book. Mike, Bruce, and David also signed the cover of my personal copy of the book.
On August 30, on the Beach Boys Britain message board, Bruce commented, "Until now, the only book about the Beach Boys I thought was worth reading was The Nearest Faraway Place by Timothy White. I am finding Becoming the Beach Boys, 1961-1963, looks like it will be a great worthwhile read, too! Becoming the Beach Boys, 1961-1963, is a must read and I could not put it down. There are a lot of interesting things to read in this book." I am grateful to Bruce for the support and kind words.


The term "abortion" refers to any immature propulsion of a human fetus, whether naturally spontaneous, as in a miscarriage, or unnaturally induced, as in a surgical or chemical abortion. Today, the most popular usage of the term "abortion" applies to unnaturally induced abortion which, sadly, has beautify the almost ordinary form of abortion. In other words, abortion is primarily the result of a female parent (and father) deciding to terminate a pregnancy by ending their unborn baby. The killing of unhatched babies is a crime against humanity and a great dishonour for our world.

Writing an Elegy for Ellicott City While Reading T.S. Eliot
Shelley Puhak
FOUR YEARS AGO, I was wading in the stretch of river just below Ellicott City with my son, playing explorer among the ruins. There was plenty to explore and all of it was wondrous to a four-year-old boy: stone foundations of swept-away railroad bridges, crumbling pump houses, abandoned barns. The washed-out road and the overgrown cemetery. But even better were the assortment of treasures the river dragged ashore— old tires and steering wheels and a rusted utility sink, rotary phone dial, limbless doll, carousel horse, electric typewriter.
What we were really after, though, was river glass, the frosted, round-edged bits of tumbled old bottles. The best was the blue river glass— we'd pace the banks looking for flecks of azure poking out of soil and silt. It would clink in my cargo pants pockets and accumulate on the car seats, until deposited into a jar on our fireplace mantel. One day, though, I looked up from our hunt and discovered, nailed high on a river birch, two wooden signs. The smaller read: Patapsco River. The larger, more improbably:
I do not know much about gods, but I think that the river
Is a strong brown god
T.S. Eliot 1941
When the Ellicott Brothers bought a tract of land in 1771 in "The Hollow" on the east bank of Maryland's Patapsco, they did so because of the promise of this strong brown god and its swift currents. Flour mill, saw mill, cotton mill, the whirr of money— soon this was one of the biggest manufacturing towns on the East Coast. Today, there is just one mill left and the old boomtown of Ellicott City is best known for its eclectic Main Street with its antique stores, bars, gift shops, and restaurants inhabiting the old funeral parlor, department store, movie theater, and mill workers' homes.
As a town built at the bottom of a bowl, built at the juncture of three tributaries with one running right through town, Ellicott City is no stranger to flooding. The railroad bridge across the bottom of Main Street features a wooden beam with watermarks and dates:
1972, 14.5 feet
1923 and 1975, 9 feet
1952, 7 feet
And taller than the bridge itself, on the fence protecting the tracks, the most ominous: 1868, 21.5 feet.
I was driving the three miles home from Ellicott City one Thursday evening when the local NPR station broadcast a short segment on this Great Flood of 1868. Just like this summer, there were days upon days of 100-degree heat and little rain. When a violent thunderstorm hit on July 24, 1868, the Patapsco overran its banks, drowning 43 residents. It's easy to find omens in hindsight. Still, I know I shivered in the car's AC along with the historian's baritone: "The river rose 25 feet. The water hit the first dams, formed a wall that rolled back on itself, sending spray 20 feet high, then broke through."
Just two nights later, the night of Saturday, July 30th, my husband and I planned to pop down to Main Street for dinner. But we bickered, we dithered, and then, when the driving rains began, decided on takeout. Within an hour, Main Street was its own river— toppling marble furniture, whisking away cars, washing away foundations, collapsing centuries-old storefronts. If the rain had been spread out as it usually was, over hours and days, the basements would have filled, there would have been the slow, seeping flood to which the area was more accustomed. But in just 3 hours, Main Street saw 8 inches of rain, 120 swift-water rescues, and two fatalities. A state of emergency. A natural disaster.
Well before this flood, the T.S. Eliot sign disappeared in bits and pieces, during various tropical storms and hurricanes, first the poetry, than the river's name too. I would not believe this sign ever existed if I didn't have the photos, my own Facebook post, as proof.
This line and a half is taken from the opening of "The Dry Salvages," the third poem in Eliot's Four Quartets:
This bit of poetry has often been used to refer to the Mississippi, an epigraph for countless books and chapters on that mighty river's power. Here's the rest of that section of the poem:
—sullen, untamed and intractable,
Patient to some degree, at first recognised as a frontier;
Useful, untrustworthy, as a conveyor of commerce;
Then only a problem confronting the builder of bridges.
The problem once solved, the brown god is almost forgotten
By the dwellers in cities—ever, however, implacable.
Keeping his seasons and rages, destroyer, reminder
Of what men choose to forget. Unhonoured, unpropitiated
By worshippers of the machine, but waiting, watching and waiting.
Now that Eliot himself is another lost signpost, one of Modernism's toppled icons, it's easy to read these lines as evidence of Nature's fury. It's convenient to read these lines as a list of an opponent's qualities — sullen, untamed and intractable…implacable…destroyer. It's even easier, more convenient, to overlook what Eliot writes just a few lines later: The river is within us.
Earlier this summer, I had observed another instance of Nature's fury on Ellicott City's Main Street. A woman was parallel-parking during rush hour on the two-lane road that cuts through town. With gas-guzzlers honking, she was pulling back out, trying to cut her wheel, bumping curb, over and over.
I was stuck in traffic going the opposite way, and on, the narrow road I was just six feet from her, encased in my own automotive bubble. At first, I thought she was just hopping up and down in her seat, dancing, perhaps, but then I saw that tears were streaming down her face, that she was screaming: shut up! shut up! I can't fit! I can't fit! And then her forehead split open. She did what we have all threatened to—I'll beat my head against the windshield, just watch me!
In the days since the flood, when I see the newspaper photos of cars on their sides, uprooted trees, shop owners sobbing on their knees, I see her again, the ink blot of blood on the windshield, her contorted face, her plea: I can't fit!
What does it mean to say Nature's fury, to insist upon a force outside ourselves that makes streets into rivers and makes rivers into monsters? What fury is there, ever, other than our own?
Three days after the flood, I and my son, now eight, returned to peek at one of our old wading spots. Main Street was blocked off at either end, bookended by National Guard and police, and for good reason— there were buildings still collapsing, gas leaking, sewage overflowing. River silt covered the road, launched more than twenty-feet up the riverbank.
We had seen many changes in the river in the past four years: the swimming holes etched and erased, the pebbled islands reshaped. Upstream, the changes had been building, just as they were in boomtown Ellicott City in 1868, except now, instead of mill upon mill, there are new brick townhouses, pastel-colored condos, a neighborhood of beige McMansions. I can't fit! I can't fit! Building, building, building while more rain is falling and more surfaces are paved, making sluices of our streets. It is the oldest story— one part of a town destroying the other, oblivious.
Bobbing in the churning water and piled up on the other bank, car upon twisted car, spray-painted Xs on their undercarriages. The river is within us, its rearview mirrors, dashboard components and door handles, the rubble some other four-year-old will one day call treasures and beg his mother to slip into her pocket. And maybe, the bottles swept right off the bar, the shattered picture frames, and the storefront windows will be tumbled into the treasure this other mother will be seeking — the lens of river glass to soften, to transmute the past.

Melissa Kay says:
Shelley, your piece is so poignantly written. I too, spent many a summer day when my son was young exploring and searching for bits and pieces of previous lives along the Patapsco's banks. I have wonderful memories of his shouts of joy upon finding a tiny tumbled piece of glass or a perfect rock (my budding geologist). Now my mind is restless in my sleep thinking of those who slog through the river's muck stealing away that which was so long and lovingly cherished or curated.
Madeleine Mysko says:
I enjoyed your beautiful, searching, and disturbing (in the best way) essay. I am grateful it was pointed out to me, grateful to be introduced to your work (by Michael Downs, on Facebook, I think–but I lost the connection while reading and then had to Google "Ellicott City" and "T.S. Eliot" to find you again!) Thank you.

Q: Ask for hostname in a shell script? I have a script that ask if the ping of a certain array of macs is online.
#!/bin/bash

#Array of Mac hostnames separated by spaces
my_macs=( Mac111 Mac121 Mac122 Mac123 Mac124 Mac125 Mac126 Mac127 Mac128 Mac129 )

# Number of days the remote Mac is allowed to be up
MAX_UPDAYS=7

CURR_TIME=$(date +%s)
MAX_UPTIME=$(( MAX_UPDAYS * 86400 ))
ADMINUSER="admusr"

#Steps through each hostname and issues SSH command to that host
#Loops through the elements of the Array

echo "Remote shutdown check started at $(date)"
for MAC in "${my_macs[@]}"
do
    echo -n "Checking ${MAC}... "
    # -q quiet
    # -c nb of pings to perform

    if ping -q -c3 "${MAC}" >/dev/null; then
        echo "is up. Getting boot time... "

        BOOT_TIME=0
        # Get time of boot from remote Mac
        BOOT_TIME=$(ssh "${ADMINUSER}@${MAC}" sysctl -n kern.boottime | sed -e 's/.* sec = \([0-9]*\).*/\1/')

        if [ "$BOOT_TIME" -gt 0 ] && [ $(( CURR_TIME - BOOT_TIME )) -ge $MAX_UPTIME ]; then
            echo "${MAC} uptime is beyond MAX_UPDAYS limit.  Sending shutdown command"
            ssh "${ADMINUSER}@${MAC}" 'sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now'
        else
            echo "${MAC} uptime is below limit.  Skipping shutdown."
        fi

    else
        echo "is down (ping failed)"
    fi
done

The problem is that the script stops if it can't resolve the hostname of one of those machines (yes this can happen quite often, I don't want to go into details why)
The hostnames are definitely right, so I want to tell the script to first search for the hostname and if he can be resolved it will resume. Otherwise it will cancel it for this one mac.
Is this possible?

A: Why don't you set up static Private IP Address in you router by adding your device's MAC Addresses instead of using your router as DHCP? If you do so, you'll be sure that they won't go wrong on hostnames anymore. On the other hand, you can add lines to your /etc/hosts if you're not setting hosts in your router or if your router does not support further things. You can have your /etc/hosts as the following:
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1           localhost Mac1
255.255.255.255     broadcasthost Mac1
::1                 localhost Mac1
fe80::1%lo0         localhost Mac1
172.16.11.43        Mac2
172.16.11.43        Mac3
172.16.11.43        Mac4
172.16.11.43        Mac5
.
.
.

It's not a big deal, the reason your script goes wrong is depending on your network configuration, not the script or even Mac devices. You could have written your script much easier, but it's OK. Just check your network, and try to set up things statically so they can find each other.
The reason they fail is that they are not using Public Static IP Addresses, so you should make sure you've set up right and static private ones so they will be able to resolve hostnames.

BTW, if you want to tell your script to continue even if a hostname was not resolvable, the other option that might help you is to use and add continue in your loop and conditional statements. So if it could resolve X, it will check if it was up for more than 7 days or less, and if it couldn't, it will continue to check the next hostname and will announce that X was down. You have many options, but as mentioned earlier, the problem is not your script mate. Good luck.

Tajik man detained after bomb threat on flight to Dushanbe
Davlatqadam Davlatqadamov's father says his son had recently suffered a nervous breakdown and that his condition may have worsened during the flight.
AKIPRESS.COM - Authorities say a Russian airliner was forced to return to a Moscow airport after a Tajik man fought with the flight crew and threatened to blow up the plane, RFE/RLreports.
Police detained the man, identified as Davlatkadam Davlatkadamov, after the Dushanbe-bound flight landed back at Moscow's Zhukovsky airport on August 29.
The Interfax news agency reported that Davlatkadamov began acting belligerently, and, when a flight attendant warned him, he got out of his seat and punched the woman in the head.
After the flight crew restrained Davlatkadamov, he threatened other passengers and claimed to have a bomb on board, Yelena Markovskaya, a representative of the regional investigative agency, told Interfax.
Video taken during the flight, and published by Russian investigators, showed Davlatkadamov with his hands and legs bound by tape as he gave conflicting answers to a police officer.
The man's father, Saidkadam Davlatkadamov, told RFE/RL's Tajik Service that his son had traveled to Russia to get a Russian passport, but suffered a nervous breakdown two weeks ago and was now on his way back home to Dushanbe.
"I think that during the flight the disease progressed," Saidkadam Davlatkadamov said.
