When your children are placed in your arms for the first time, and you gaze into their eyes for the very first moment, you see endless possibility. You're holding onto a little piece of immortality that you created, nurtured and brought Earthside; a little piece of responsibility for the rest of your life. You're responsible for raising, teaching and entertaining this little creature so that they grow into strong, independent, decisive and happy adults that are going to take on the world and win. Before that happens, you have babyhood, toddlerhood, childhood and adolescence to contend with, and you're about to learn a whole lot from your child. You're going to learn about yourself as a person and as a parent. You're going to learn about how your heart walking around outside your body has changed your perspective entirely.
You're also going to learn that you have life lessons to impart to them while they're young enough to accept them and learn them; and that's not always the easiest thing to do. Children are clay to be moulded, and it's your hands that do the moulding. Let's take a look at four life lessons you want to teach your children before adulthood.
The Value Of Money. From a young age, you're going to be teaching your child when they can and cannot have something. Saying no in the store to sweets because you can't afford to buy some then and there, showing them how to get the most for their cash with Net Voucher Codes that can save them some money as they put their allowance away for a car. The value of money is one of the best lessons that you can teach your children, and you have to start young if you want it to stick.
The Value Of Manners. Good manners should be drummed into children from a very young age, as it's going to help them to interact with people around them and shape them into a considerate, patient person – which is what you want for your children. Make manners a habit from even before they can speak, and you'll have a child that can express himself properly. Manners 'maketh the man', and all that.
The Value Of Education. Children are explorers, and somewhere in childhood they forget their passion for learning something new. Perhaps society makes them dumb them down, perhaps it's school. Either way, you want to continue to foster their love of learning and make them feel good about their passion for it. Education opens doors, and the more you press this upon them, the more normal it will be.
The Value Of Honesty. Children need to learn boundaries and consequences and honesty is one of the biggest lessons that you can teach your kids so that they turn into happy and well-rounded adults. You should always tell them the truth, and explain how lies can make people feel – The Boy Who Cried Wolf is more than just a moral lesson.
These lessons will help to shape the generation of the future – and you are a big part of that.

The Funhouse: News, reactions and opinions on the latest in geek culture!
6 takeaways from the new Creed II trailer
With new looks at Mary Poppins, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Bumblebee, it's been a good couple of weeks for movie trailers. Rumors say we may get X-Men: Dark Phoenix and Hellboy trailers in the next week or two, as well.
(Maybe I should restart the "This Week in Trailers" column I used to write for The Comeback).
Included in that assortment of previews is the latest trailer for Creed II, showing a pumped-up Michael B. Jordan ready to take on a piece of Rocky movie mythology.
— My review of Creed from 2015 —
Do you feel like you've worked out enough today after watching that? Are you feeling kind of fat and lazy? (That might just be me.) Maybe you have an urge to watch Rocky IV again and relive Rocky vs. Ivan Drago?
The desert replaces Siberia
Will we get a training montage? Judging from the trailer, it'll be more than that. We see several clips of Adonis training in the desert for his titanic bout, replacing the urban setting of Philadelphia.
For one thing, it's an interesting contrast to the harsh, snowy mountain terrain of Russia where Rocky trained for his fight with Drago. But maybe there are some story reasons for the setting as well. Is Adonis trying to get away from everyone (notably Bianca and their child) to hone his focus? Is he trying to set himself apart from Rocky and chart his own path? Does the desert just look cooler on screen?
Whatever happened to Ivan Drago?
The offspring of Apollo Creed and Ivan Drago facing each other in the ring is the central conflict of Creed II and the big draw for making this sequel. Revenge is such a compelling storyline. But fans of the Rocky series likely also want to know what happened to Drago after losing the Cold War battle in Russia.
It's easy to imagine that it didn't go well for the fighter. Perhaps he was exiled to obscure military duty. Maybe the government disowned him entirely, embarrassed by his defeat. What sort of life did he have without the purpose of being the Soviet Union's greatest champion, without the benefit of those state-of-the-art training facilities (and, since we're talking about Russia, other performance-enhancing resources)?
An intriguing subplot would be the paths Rocky and Drago have taken during the past 30+ years. At the very least, we'll get a staredown in the ring between the two fighters-turned-trainers. But hopefully, the script includes something a bit more for some dramatic satisfaction.
Don't sideline Tessa Thompson
Tessa Thompson's role as Bianca in Creed was arguably one of the breakout performances that's helped her emerge as one of Hollywood's top young actresses. She was far more than a love interest, portraying a fascinating character with her own career ambitions, dreams which were jeopardized by her increasing hearing loss.
Bianca's relationship with Adonis has clearly progressed in Creed II, as she's now the mother of their son. But let's hope that her character isn't relegated to being the woman at home worrying about what might happen to her partner. We know what Thompson is capable of after playing Valkyrie in Thor: Ragnarok and Detroit in Sorry To Bother You. Give her enough to be a dramatic equal to Michael B. Jordan.
Does Rocky still have cancer?
One of the most compelling storylines of Creed was Rocky Balboa being diagnosed with cancer. The former champ who's lost everyone he loved — most notably his wife, Adrian — is facing his own mortality.
The scene in which Rocky tells Adonis why he doesn't want to fight and seek treatment was the shining moment of a performance that should've earned Sylvester Stallone an Academy Award. But he's also inspired by Adonis's ambition to fight Ricky Conlan and agrees to undergo chemotherapy while continuing to train the younger Creed.
Will Rocky's cancer still be a part of the story here or will he have gone into remission? Screenwriter Cheo Hodari Coker (showrunner for Marvel's Luke Cage) and director Steven Caple Jr. surely don't want to focus too much on Rocky and take the focus away from the title character, but Rocky's fate is a key story point.
Does Rocky have the movie's best line?
"He broke things in me that ain't never been fixed." Yikes.
The sad third act — or maybe the epilogue — to the Rocky Balboa story is the toll that boxing (and the celebrity that came with it) took on his body and his life. Rocky's line about Drago underlines that. It's a warning and cautionary tale to his protege. Who has more to lose here?
"It ain't worth it," says Rocky. Will that theme be explored and expanded to Adonis Creed in this movie?
Plenty of workout porn
Of course, we'll get a training montage! It's what helps the Rocky movies live on long past their theatrical and home video releases. We have to see these boxers do crazy things to their bodies, like sprint up snowy mountaintops or lift horse wagons full of rocks — as part of their training regimens.
Viktor Drago (Florian Munteanu) is no exception, not just whipping battle ropes, but whipping his entire body with them. Who knows what the benefits are — it's probably great for the shoulders and core — but it sure looks cool. Will Men's Health or Muscle & Fitness get a cover story on the Creed II workouts?
Creed II enters the ring (or hits theaters) on Nov. 21.

NASA Tests Escape Motor for New Moonship
By Brian Berger
Flames shot more than 100 feet high in a successful 5.5-second ground test firing Nov. 20, of a launch abort motor for NASA's next generation spacecraft, the Orion crew exploration vehicle. (Image credit: NASA)
WASHINGTON? NASA and its contracting team conducted the first full-scale ground test ofthe U.S. space agency's Moon-bound Constellation program, test firing an abortmotor designed to whisk the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle away from its Ares Ilauncher in an emergency.
The testtook place Nov. 20 at the Alliant Techsystems (ATK) Launch Systems facility inPromontory, Utah. The 5.1-meter abort motor fired for five-and-a-half seconds,consuming most of its propellant in the first three seconds and producing morethan a half-million pounds of thrust nearly instantaneously at ignition.
"Itperformed extremely well. The initial data looks very good," formerastronaut Charlie Precourt, ATK's vice president of launch systems, toldreporters during a teleconference following the static fire test.
ATK builtthe motor under subcontract to Orbital Sciences Corp. of Dulles, Va., which is responsible for the Orionlaunch-abort system. Lockheed Martin Space Systems of Denver is Orion's primecontractor.
BarryMeredith, NASA's launch abort system manager, praised ATK for "pullingtogether a very complex system and testing it exactly on the day they said theywould."
Meredithsaid the test marked "a major step forward in the development of the OrionCrew Exploration Vehicle and specifically the launch-abort system that isgoing to provide a safe and reliable method of moving the entire astronaut crewin the event of the emergency from the pad all the way up to [91.44 kilometers]of altitude."
NASA plansto conduct its first Constellationprogram flight test next spring at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. That test will feature a fully integrated launch-abort system with afull-sized mock-up of the Orion crew capsule.

Gregory, Frank William (1917-1998)
Frank W Gregory was widely regarded as on the foremost authorities on mills and milling in the UK. He was brought up in Brighton and developed a fascination for vernacular buildings, especially windmills, whilst on childhood rambles with his family in the 1920s. This together with an interest in the geology and industrial archaeology of Sussex and the South Downs, developed in his teens, motivated his lifelong quest to discover as much as possible about windmills and watermills and their place in manufacturing and production within the rural economy.
A woodwork teacher by profession, Frank travelled widely, visiting, recording, surveying and studying mills in Sussex and later throughout the UK and abroad, mostly for his own pleasure. After the war he carried out mill surveys for local authorities and also for the SPAB Mills Section, which he had joined in 1948. As a keen member of The International Molinological Society he went on many foreign mill tours and his reputation became known worldwide.
Frank used his practical skills and experience as a woodwork teacher to teach himself the craft and practice of a millwright, and soon became the acknowledged expert on traditional methods of mill restoration and conservation. The first Sussex windmill he helped to restore was Nutley Post Mill in the Ashdown Forest, and he went on to help in the restorations of Polegate, Shipley, High Salvington, Jill Mill at Clayton and Park Watermill at Bateman

Its been a while since I've run any tape. With nothing else to do today I loaded a 10" reel on a Sony TC-755 and let it go.
I've had this deck since 1985. In the mid 90's a retired tech serviced for me and calibrated it for Maxell-XLl back coated tape. The machine still runs flawlessly and only requires it heads cleaned. When I got this machine, it came with all the original paper work, box and packing and a rare dust cover.
Here's a couple of pictures. It's setting on top of a Sony TC-558.
Yup, the Big Sony's sound great and are built well. I was going to put my Sony TC-580 up for sale (it's a 7" reel deck) but it works so nice and has auto reverse so I may rethink that.
The Sony 580 is a nice deck. I've owned one that took a lot of work to breath life back into it. The 558 is the only 7" six head deck I own. These came on the market late 1968 and production ended by 1972. The TC-755, 756, 756-2 (half track) and the 758 (auto reverse rotating head block) production were available through out the 70's. They also had competition from Sony's own TC-765 & 766-2 (half track). These could probably be referred to as Sony's premier decks. The were large monsters and weighed about 65 lbs. I still have all these decks except the 756-2 half track. I'm seriously considering letting go of some of my decks this year. I only have two decks set up and the others are stored away.
Wish I could afford one of those Sony monsters.
The monsters are great decks. They're big and they take up a lot of room. They've been packed away for a year. The 765 is in my avatar. The 766-2 is identical except for a switch in the head cover that lets you switch from 2 track to 4 track playback. In 1976, the 765 sold for a $1,000 and the 766 sold for $1,500.00.
Storing and reel to reel don't even go together. These things come out of storage needing a lot more work the when they went in.
Sniffer, You are correct regarding storage. This is why I am considering reducing the collection. The 765 went unused for a long time prior to getting it. The pinch roller assembly was frozen and it need some other minor repairs. I've had it for about 20 years and still plays perfectly.
I just put my Sony TC-580 up for sale. I have another big Tascam I'm thinking about buying. I put up a Yamaha receiver up too.
I'm considering getting rid of my 558 this year. If I need to run 7" tapes, I can do it on the bigger decks. I'll probably end up keeping the 755 & a 758 auto reverse.
Playing so0me old tapes today. The Cubs game was cancelled because weather. The weather is crappy here also. Snow flurries, windy and the wind chill is in the lower 20's. Running the Sony TC-755 and some tape recorded from around 2010 recorded on a Teac A-6300. Of course my cat thinks any time the tape is running he should have a look. He got an infection in his right eye last October and the vet tried to cure him with medication but eventually he had to have it removed.
Nice to see you are still playing some reels from time-to-time, Ron. Too bad about your cat losing an eye, but pets have a way of getting around such obstacles in time.


Hello all, hope you're having a stupendous day! Rob Hendrix here with Cannabis Consulting Nationwide. Today's story harks back to October 2014.
I had been open about seven weeks, working about 85 hours per week personally so I was tired. 2014 was a tough year; I was the GM at a major new car franchised dealership and had been working endlessly during the meat grinder aka vetting process in order to become eligible for the Lottery.
Washington State decided that a Lottery was the best way to pick the "winners" who would be granted a retail license. The GM job was a full-time job and then on top of my responsibilities at the dealership was this process to gain the license. So by October of 2014, I was bushed! So I felt it was time to find some help.
I had no trouble finding an applicant; what could be better for a college student looking for a little extra spending money than a part-time gig at the all new local pot shop? Long story short, hey that's a change huh?, I hired two female college students. They were ideal hires for me at that time. They were by the fact they were young, younger than me I mean, automatically great with computers, WIFI, social media, graphics, spreadsheets, other younger people and of course, Cannabis.
In a word they were smart, really smart about real life stuff. They both were college students putting their own way through school without much parental help and therefore and for other reasons, they were tough. Mentally tough and quick thinkers on their feet. They could call BS on customers who were making claims that I would not have had the smarts to dispute. Not that I instructed them to argue with customers but you have to understand how out of my element I really was. They saved me in those early days and months. We of course had cause to hire many other employees over the last four plus, some were great, others less than great. But you've got to have an idea, a plan as how to proceed. I learned a lot from these two. I had a lot to learn!
I have gotten in the habit of having a two person shift approximately six hours each and mixing the shift with one male and one female. At first I thought this might be a smart thing to do for a sense of security but later I came to the conclusion customers sometimes want to talk to an individual who they feel a bit more comfortable talking to. Giving your customers choices in everything is never a bad idea. And we are always looking for that that hard to define idea in a team; chemistry. So we may play with the combinations, always looking for the maximum fun, enthusiasm and energy.
The team concept, never less than a two person shift at all times, is good for several reasons; security but its also more fun and can be helpful to each of the two coworkers. No one knows everything about everything, except yours truly of course!, so sometimes an employee may not know the answer to a customer's question. Since I NEVER ask my employees to lie, there's a good bet one or the other will have an answer to just about any inquiry. Vendors will always bring samples to the store and I do not take them, they are distributed fairly among the employees. So quite literally, sampling in a fair manor gives a nice mix of reviews for my employees to share with the customers. By taking part in sampling, my employees are rendering opinions as to the inventory we carry in our store.
Everyone needs to feel appreciated and needs to know they matter and their opinions and thoughts matter. This is a perfect way for all employees to "have their hand on the wheel" so to speak. So this practice serves two purposes; first employees have tried most if not all products carried in the store, and second gives them the satisfaction of giving me and my purchasing manager relevant and critical feedback about their experiences with the products and therefore input as to what inventory and products the store will carry. Pretty cool, huh? This is a big help in keeping good employees and employees good. But this process starts early, in the interview process obviously.
In the interview, usually the second interview, I get involved and I hit several items very hard. They don't work for me yet, so I do not mince words. I tell them all they will show up to work to work. That may not make sense at first glance. I mean get here ready to work because even though it's a pot shop, it is my business, my life, my retirement, my family's livelihood. It's an incredibly serious business, much more than one might think. It should be fun, it needs to be fun, but we can never forget how regulated we all are.
The world is watching, hoping we'll misstep so the anti-Cannabis crowd can pounce. I also tell them they all do the dirty work; cleaning, sweeping, cleaning the toilet, it is a job for every one of us and I had better never hear that it's beneath anyone ever. Kind of a thing for me. Then it gets really serious and now its time for me to I really lay into them, if they're still in the interview!
This is when I begin discussing the legal issues surrounding our chosen business. Selling to a minor, in our state the legal age to purchase Cannabis is 21, even accidentally is a felony. A felony. I let that sink in. Then I tell them the store owner is not charged with a felony but rather the employee who completed the transaction, that is who took the money and handed over the product. It is a huge black eye for the business owner, but the real hurt is going to be put on the employee.
The last topic we cover in the second interview, almost always the last interview, is me and the employees. I tell them I am a father and a grandfather first and foremost and I want nothing more than for my kids and grand kids to be well balanced and successful in their life's pursuits. I know that for the kids who are working for me currently, except for my two store managers, they are likely going to be with me a relatively short time. This is not the end of the line. Their goals in life do not, and should not, end with them being an employee of Cannabis Central. I want more for them like they, hopefully, want for themselves. I want to help them achieve their goals as much as I can as their employer. If they get into trouble, I tell them if it's necessary and appropriate I would like to help wherever and how ever I can. And I have helped people over the years; with car troubles, relationship trouble, tenant and landlord issues, you name it. So because I have a big heart and I want to help those who have a bit of history with me, I also inform them that if they ever steal from me, I will come after them with everything I've got. I warn them I will spend much more than what they stole is worth to me. It's a matter of principal to me. I make it clear if you need help, ask. It is not a guarantee I will help, but darn it it is much better for you to ask.
Now I am not a fool, employee theft is a reality in all businesses, a cost of doing business. But minimizing it must be a goal and my technique is both olive branch and paddle. It may sound harsh, but it seems to be working for me. Better to get your point across early in the relationship, like before the relationship even begins. This way there are no surprises; "You never told me that", is a statement I never want to hear from any employee's mouth ever.
We could go and on about hiring practices. In fact hiring is one topic of conversation, training another, and keeping employees is yet another. This is a good thing to remember; hire slow and fire fast. A termination is a failure, I've always thought it was at least as much my responsibility as the employee's. You are the owner of the store, everything is on you. Captain Smith was asleep in his bunk when the Titanic ran into the iceberg, but you know what? It was the Captains's responsibility. That's you.


Melt the chocolate pieces, with 2 ounces of the heavy cream, in the top of a double boiler (a pan set over a pan of simmering water) on medium heat. Add the butter and stir well—until the texture is smooth. Beat the remaining heavy cream until stiff peaks are formed, then set it aside. Beat the egg whites, adding the sugar bit by bit, until they are firm. Gently fold together the whipped cream and the egg white mixture, and add 2 tablespoons of the melted chocolate. Add ginger confit to the chocolate mixture and fold in the cream/egg white/chocolate mixture. Refrigerate for two hours, minimum. Serve in individual small cups or verrines (the famous little glasses used in fancy restaurants for super-mini portions of soup, or for amuses bouche) Note: You can also make a mango coulis. Serve the mousse in the center of a dessert plate, and pour some coulis around it.
To do one's own shopping — a great way to see what fruits and vegetables are at their peak in the season, and to run into friends.

Southeast Asia's start-up scene shows increased investment potential, says venture capital firm
Southeast Asia's start-up scene is presenting increased investment potential as the pandemic has shifted dynamics for the long-term, one of the region's leading venture capital firms said.
Despite its "devastating" impact, the downturn has provided "a lot of opportunity" for new start-ups in the region, Roderick Purwana, managing partner at Indonesia-based East Ventures, told CNBC Monday, noting that he has seen many new businesses formed during this period.
In particular, new businesses related to digital adoption, including education technology, health technology and financial technology, have been a real success story, he said.
With any crisis, it brings also opportunity. We've seen that not just in this part of the world.
Roderick Purwana
managing partner, East Ventures
"With any crisis, it brings also opportunity. We've seen that not just in this part of the world," Purwana told "Street Signs Asia."
"We've seen some of the largest or most successful start-ups or tech companies are founded during this time," he said citing previous historic downturns such as the dot-com bust and 2008 Financial Crisis. "I think this one (will be) no different."
Purwana's comments come as Southeast Asia's start-ups have been gaining ground on the global stage.
On Monday, Indonesian ride-hailing giant Gojek announced that it had merged with e-commerce player Tokopedia to form GoTo Group. The deal is seen as a preemptive move as the company prepares to go public at an estimated valuation of $35 billion to $40 billion.
Ahead of the announcement, Purwana said that valuations have become "a little bit frothy" due to recent hype around the region. Still, he said they remain "reasonable" overall, adding that it is "definitely a positive" to see homegrown names now entering the public markets.
That includes public listings via special purpose acquisition companies (SPAC), which have grown in popularity across the region as across the globe. Last month, fellow regional ride-hailing giant Grab announced it would go public on the Nasdaq in a nearly $40 billion SPAC merger.
"We're seeing SPACs as an opportunity for some of these tech companies to tap the U.S. public markets," he said. "There will probably be some correction on the noise. But in the long run, I think it's there to stay."

Brian Krebs is a security journalist who specialises in uncovering the shadier ends of cybercrime. Having worked at the Washington Post from 1995 to 2009, he now has his own KrebsOnSecurity blog – but his work has attracted some unwanted attention from the objects of his investigations. This extract from the original is used with permission.
Over the past six months, "fans" of my website and its author have shown their affection in some curious ways. One called in a phony hostage situation that resulted in a dozen heavily armed police surrounding my home. Another opened a $20,000 new line of credit in my name. Others sent more than $1,000 in bogus PayPal donations from hacked accounts. Still more admirers paid my cable bill for the next three years using stolen credit cards. Malware authors have even used my name and likeness to peddle their wares.
But the most recent attempt to embarrass and fluster this author easily takes the cake as the most elaborate: Earlier this month, the administrator of an exclusive cybercrime forum hatched and executed a plan to purchase heroin, have it mailed to my home, and then spoof a phone call from one of my neighbours alerting the local police. Thankfully, I had already established a presence on his forum and was able to monitor the scam in real time and alert my local police well in advance of the delivery.
This would-be smear campaign was the brainchild of a fraudster known variously online as "Fly," "Flycracker," and MUXACC1 (muxa is transliterated Russian for "муха" which means "fly"). Fly is the administrator of the fraud forum "thecc[dot]bz," an exclusive and closely guarded Russian language board dedicated to financial fraud and identity theft.
"Guys, it became known recently that Brian Krebs is a heroin addict and he desperately needs the smack, so we have started the "Helping Brian Fund", and shortly we will create a bitcoin wallet called "Drugs for Krebs" which we will use to buy him the purest heroin on the Silk Road. My friends, his withdrawal is very bad, let's join forces to help the guy! We will save Brian from the acute heroin withdrawal and the world will get slightly better!"
Flycracker discussing the purchase of a gram of heroin from Silk Road seller "10toes"
For some reason, that transaction with 10toes fell through, and Flycracker turned to another Silk Road vendor – Maestro – from whom he purchased a dozen baggies of heroin of "HIGH and consistent quality," to be delivered to my home in Northern Virginia earlier today. The purchase was made using a new Silk Road account named "briankrebs7," and cost 1.6532 bitcoins (~USD $165).
"12 sacks of heroin [the seller gives 2 free sacks for a 10-sacks order] are on the road, can anyone make a call [to the police] from neighbours, with a record? Seller said the package will be delivered after 3 days, on Tuesday. If anyone calls then please say that drugs are hidden well."
Last week, I alerted the FBI about this scheme, and contacted a Fairfax County police officer who came out and took an official report about it. The cop who took the report just shook his head incredulously, and kept saying he was trying to unplug himself from various accounts online with the ultimate goal of being "off the internet and Google" by the time he retired. Before he left, the officer said he would make a notation on my report so that any officer dispatched to respond to complaints about drugs being delivered via mail to my home would prompted to review my report.
To find out what happened when the package – and the police – arrived, read the rest of the post at Brian Krebs's site.


The "Building the Wingnut Wings"" series of modeling specials from Albatros Productions, offer up a unique look into the world of the subject WWI aircraft, with a look at the aircraft during the wartime years, as well as in the case of this particular volume, some very nice detail shots from various museum type restorations/rebuilds/new builds. Adding up to roughly 60 pages, this would seem to be a sort of "one stop shop" for all fans of the Dolphin and Pfalz D.IIIA. Naturally enough, as the title implies, there is also a great selection of the WNW kits during various stages of their construction, with hints and tips interspersed throughout.
The largest portion of this volume is dedicated to the Dolphin build, covering roughly 44 pages, while the rest of the volume is dedicated to the aforementioned Pfalz D.IIIA, with excellent photos and illustrations to be found throughout.
A small portion of the publication, interspersed in certain areas, has data on various WWI aviation sites, publications, and materials, and is most welcome, as they, as often as not, point out material that I had otherwise been unaware of.
Yet another plus to recommend this volume, are the numerous excellent color profiles (11, by my count) offered up by well know aviation artist Ronny Bar; really good stuff.
Anyone with even a passing interest in WWI aviation, is usually familiar with the extensive line of publications offered, and the overall high quality that is typical from Albatros. This volume is certainly no exception, offering forth a glimpse into an era long since passed, but hopefully, never forgotten. Unfortunately for me, now that I've seen what these modeling specials from Albatros really have to offer, I'm quite sure that I'll now just have to order the similar volume on the Fokker D.VIIs.
My particular copy of the book, had an included press release as well, explaining the nature of the book, as well as pointing out specific highlights.
The text and model photos, are augmented with a very nice selection of period and/or museum restoration photos, giving the reader lots in the way of "eye candy", in addition to the wonderful Ronny Bar illustrations.
All in all, I'd recommend this book without any reservation at all. At a decent 60 pages, and all on very nice quality paper (a big plus from my point of view), this volume makes for a nice addition to the library, and may well prove invaluable for those that eventually model their own kits. As stated previously, I like this "How to" series so much, that I'm now compelled to seek out the comparable Fokker D.VII volume from the same publisher, as that's sure to be a real treat for me, given my particular passion for the D.VII.
On a closing note, there's also a nice dedication to the memory of Des Delatorre, who recently passed to bluer skies, a fitting recognition of a man that was so well regarded in the WWI aviation modeling community, and a friend of many an LSP member.


If the obvious comparison in European terms would be to teams who have won a cluster of European Cups, then the Patriots are Ajax, but without a Johann Cruyff, or Real Madrid without Alfredo Di Stefano. They are a functional outfit, more reminiscent of the Bayern Munich of the 1970s, with Tom Brady, the quarterback, as Franz Beckenbauer.
Without a bunch of superstars, putting team first and foremost, the Pats unfailingly rise to the occasion, and are gracious in victory. You listened to Tom Brady and Deion Branch after the game and thought, they've got class.
And you saw Tedy Bruschi, heart and soul of the New England defense, out there on the field with his sons, and thought, there's a good man.
A toast to the Pats – we're lucky to have them.
My favorite Super Bowl ad was the Anheuser-Busch Hero Salute, which on repeat viewing still brings a lump to the throat.

Judah was the name of Jacob's fourth son and one of the 12 tribes.
Judah was the son of Jacob and Leah. When his brothers wanted to kill Joseph, Judah proposed selling Joseph into slavery instead. When Judah and his brothers later came to Egypt to buy food, Joseph did not reveal his identity to them. Instead he charged them with spying and later with theft. When Joseph said that Benjamin would be imprisoned, Judah offered to go to prison in his place. At that point, Joseph made his identity known.

An Introduction to Reconciliation Ecology
Kimberly Franklin
What is Reconciliation Ecology?
Humans now occupy approximately 83% of earth's land surface (Sanderson et al. 2002). By occupy I don't mean that humans can actually be found living on every square meter of that 83%, but rather that humans have changed the land surface in some way that will affect the flora and fauna of the area. Most likely that number has already grown substantially since it was first estimated in 2002. This means that there is an ever dwindling amount of land left over for the millions of other species that inhabit our planet. Recognizing that this small amount of land left over was not nearly enough to sustain the majority of the species on our planet, Dr. Michael Rosenzweig developed the idea of reconciliation ecology. In his own words, "reconciliation ecology is the science of inventing, establishing and maintaining new habitats to conserve species diversity in places where people live, work and play."
How will we establish and maintain new habitats in our cities and towns? It will require a serious effort from both scientists and the general public. Scientists must determine the habitat requirements for species that might potentially be able to live with humans. After these requirements are determined it will be up to local governments and the general public make sure that these requirements are met.
It is certain that some species will never be able to live within human-occupied areas. For instance, many large mammal species that require large amounts of area to search for food will never be able to live within cities. The survival of these species depends on the maintenance and growth of the existing system of nature reserves. But many species may be able to thrive within cities if their habitat requirements are taken into consideration. For example, the habitat requirements of many arthropod species may not be difficult to achieve. A certain butterfly species might only require a population of a certain host plant species on which it's larvae can feed. The key to making these type of efforts work will often be cooperation among several neighbors or even entire neighborhoods because often one yard will not be large enough to maintain a population of any single species.

'I'm a Queens boy, through and through': Local author's love of Queens inspires new novel

Local author Anthony Sciarratta to make Queens a main character in his upcoming novel.
By Jacob Kaye
jkaye@schnepsmedia.com
Most romantic stories set in New York City take place in Manhattan – think "Annie Hall," "When Harry Met Sally" or "Breakfast at Tiffany's." But one author is doing his best to make Queens, his home borough, the most romantic location in all of New York City.
Anthony Sciarratta, a 22-year-old author from Middle Village, is set to release his first novel, "Finding Forever," a romance that takes place in the "World's Borough," this fall. He recently signed a book deal with publisher Post Hill Press.
"Finding Forever" tells the story of a young Italian-American man in the 1970s, hurting over a recent break-up. Soon after though, he meets a quirky Broadway actress who helps the young man shake his funk.
The book has scenes in Astoria, Little Neck, Middle Village, Maspeth and Rego Park.
"A lot of the scenes of my book were based off of me growing up in Queens," Sciarratta said.
Sciarratta attended Our Lady of Hope in Middle Village until moving on to St. Francis Preparatory School in Fresh Meadows. He didn't go too far for his higher education, either. He went to Queens College in Flushing.
The author says that the reason his debut novel takes place in 1970s is because it's an era that has always spoken to him.
"My parents tell me stories of when they were kids and how different it was from today," Sciarratta said. "I was always into the music and the culture from that area. My mind is kind of set back there, to that era."
As to why it takes place in Queens, that should be obvious.
"I'm a Queens boy, through and through," Sciarratta said.
Sciarratta's deal with Post Hill Press includes a second novel after "Finding Forever," and a book of poetry. All three will be available wherever books are sold.

We loved Nick and Lise's beautiful bed and breakfast and their great company, we ate many wonderful meals and really enjoyed the ocean, hot tub and boat ride. We enjoyed Stanley Park, Grouse Mountain, Minter Gardens and Harrison Hot Springs. We did some local hiking and there is nothing like catching up with old friends! And who could forget the great crab feast, we did so much it was hard to pick what we enjoyed the most it was a most refreshing time.

Laverne Cox Notes Hillary Clinton's Support For Transgender Rights In Endorsement
Actress Laverne Cox has endorsed Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign in an ad released on Twitter.
Cox made history in 2014 when she became the first openly transgender person to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for her portrayal of Sophia Burset on the Netflix drama Orange Is The New Black. The following year, she won a Daytime Emmy for her work on Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word.
A vocal supporter of LGBT rights, Cox reminded viewers of Clinton's support for such rights in a 2-minute video released by the campaign on Tuesday.
"What we see unfortunately in the Republican Party, what we see on a policy level, is a party that has consistently tried to disenfranchise people of color, disenfranchise working people, LGBT people, take away women's control over their bodies, and that is just something I can't support," Cox said in the video. "There are so many things that are working to divide us and pull us apart, but we always have to fight."
"LGBT rights are human rights. Gay rights are human rights. Trans rights are human rights. And I know that is something Hillary Clinton has been saying for years."
Cox pointed out that as Secretary of State, Clinton increased rights for transgender people.
"It was impossible to get a passport if you had not had gender reassignment surgery, and in 2010, Hillary Clinton's State Department changed those rules," Cox said.
"I'm supporting Hillary Clinton and I want to encourage everyone to get out and vote. For me, she is the only candidate running for president who is really going to fight for us," Cox concluded.

Maharashtra govt issues fresh order amid concerns over Omicron variant: All you need to know
11:13 PM Nov 27, 2021 | Sanjay Jog
Mumbai: In view of the scare over the 'Omicron' variant, which has been classified as a variant of concern by the WHO, the Maharashtra Government on Saturday issued a fresh order directing strict adherence to COVID-19 appropriate behaviour.
All incoming travellers from any international destination shall be governed by directions of the Government of India in this respect. Domestic travellers shall either be fully vaccinated or carry an RT-PCR test report valid for 72 hrs.
The order issued by Chief Secretary Sitaram Kunte said, "The Universal Pass created by the State Government shall be a valid proof of status of full vaccination. Or else, a Cowin Certificate with a valid ID proof carrying a photo may be taken as valid proof for the same. For those below 18 years of age, any other government or photo identity card issued by school will do; and for those who are unable to take the vaccine due to medical reasons, a certificate from a certified medical practitioner may serve as documentary evidence for entry," the order said.
The order states that since the State Government is recording fewer COVID- 19 positive cases consistently for the past few months, it is considering opening up economic, social, entertainment and cultural activities with fewer restrictions, especially for fully vaccinated persons.
However, the government has categorically said that strict adherence to COVID appropriate norms as laid down by the State and Central Government from time to time shall be observed by all, including the service providers, owners of premises, licensees, organizers.
''The health protocol includes frequent washing of hands, maintaining social distance, wherever possible, avoiding crowds, avoiding spitting in public places, among others, the order adds.
According to the order, "In case of any program/ event/ activity happening in an enclosed/closed space like a cinema hall, theatre, marriage hall, convention hall, attendance up to 50 percent of the capacity of the space will be allowed."
"In case of open spaces, for any events or gatherings, 25 percent of the capacity can be ustlised. The DDMA shall have the authority to decide the capacity in case of such locations, if not already declared formally (such as stadiums)," it said further.
The guidelines state that if any individual is found flouting COVID-19 norms, he will be fined Rs 500 for each instance of default. If any person does not adhere to the COVID protocol inside the premises of an organisation, the authorities can impose a Rs 10,000 penalty on the institution over and above the individual fine on the person.
Also, if anyone is found to be flouting guidelines inside a taxi or private transport, the driver/helper/conductor who is providing the service will also be fined Rs 500.

As the two films prepare to face off at this weekend's box office, some fans are accused of sowing targeted discord on the social media platform.
In one of the more surprising consequences of this week's wide-ranging assortment of new movie releases, fans of Lady Gaga are being accused of flooding Twitter with negative comments regarding the Tom Hardy-starring superhero feature "Venom" in a bid to drive audiences to the Gaga-starring "A Star Is Born." Both films are opening this Friday, and while the Bradley Cooper-directed "A Star Is Born" has been picking up steady accolades since premiering on the fall festival circuit last month, Ruben Fleischer's PG-13 vision of the Spider-Man villain has already been dinged by bad early buzz.
While the review embargo for "Venom" does not expire until later this evening, early critical reactions arrived on social media this morning. As IndieWire reported, "first reactions range from some critics enjoying the film's humor to others calling it 'clunky' and a 'complete failure.'" As of this writing, "A Star Is Born" currently holds a 95% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and is "certified fresh" after screening at festivals like Venice and Toronto.
As Buzzfeed reports, Lady Gaga fans may be pushing their own negative sentiments on social media in the hopes of bolstering the first weekend box office of "A Star Is Born." The outlet shares that "on Tuesday, a number of people accused fans of 'A Star Is Born' and Lady Gaga of being bots and posting negative reviews of Venom," pointing to tweets that highlight some strange similarities between various accounts.
The mystery has only deepened, with Buzzfeed noting that various fans Lady Gaga have alternately confessed to an organized trolling, while others have passed it off as a joke. Now, "Venom" fans are taking to social media to issue their own anti-"A Star Is Born" tweets. And so goes on the cycle.
Sony opens "Venom" and Warner Bros. will release "A Star Is Born" this Friday, October 5.


Following the Poe Dameron video released the other week, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games, The LEGO Group and Lucasfilm have now revealed a Finn-centric video for the upcoming game title "LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens". The thirty second clip includes original dialogue recorded by John Boyega and Harrison Ford.
The game itself will include all the usual LEGO game perks along with intense Blaster Battles which allow for cover, an enhanced Multi-Builds system, and action-packed flight gameplay. The game comes to practically every format available on June 28th.

Out in the land of the Central Coast is a winery few have heard of. Small in the grand scheme of things, they have a couple of great winemakers at the helm, charting a path for the Center of Effort wines of today and tomorrow. Funded by a couple of well known (and well funded) Cal Poly SLO alumni, this winery has the good fortune of working with great fruit, and the wines are cared for by Nathan* and Mike, both known to produce some great vintages prior to this project.
The scoop: To me, the main standout for these wines (see Deviant Guide criteria here) is their label. They've screen printed the label onto some very pretty glass, and it's a bottle that could easily be spotted, thanks to the unique logo approach taken by the owners of Center of Effort. It's not hard to recognize the C surrounding the O engulfing the E (that spells COE, folks), nor is it hard to recognize the effort placed into these wines. You'll see below that overall, they are worth getting your hands on them. And take note, they have a "second" tier to Center of Effort, simply and lovingly called Effort.
You'll also see a couple of aromatic descriptors that maybe you don't see as often when tasting Burgundian style wines: blood orange on a Pinot Noir is not what I expect…but there it was, and it was lovely.
The score: I'd put all of these wines somewhere between a 3+ and 4 out of 5. Across the board for this winery are well structured wines. If I had been smart, maybe I would have gotten a couple of bottles to lay down and see what they were like in 5+ years.
t: bright citrus, not much else. would you believe me if I said I think this wine is too young? or maybe I'm just too impatient.
*In the interest of full disclosure, I happen to be friends with Nathan and his girlfriend, Kristin, and have known them from working and living down in SLO for many years. That being said, if I didn't like the wines, I wouldn't have posted them, and you'll see that although I enjoy them, I'm not afraid to mark down all my notes above.

HP's 2014 outlook hovers around estimates; revenue projected to stabilize
Meg Whitman isn't one to sugar-coat anything, but she looks incredibly optimistic about HP's fiscal 2014.
By Rachel King for Between the Lines | October 9, 2013 -- 18:08 GMT (11:08 PDT) | Topic: Tech Industry
HP: Looking ahead
HP launches Project Moonshot
HP, SAP unveil 'Project Kraken' single server test for big data
HP brings 200 Series, ProBook 400 Series laptops to SMB market
Hewlett-Packard's rehabilitation into a more financially-sound corporation still has a long way to go, and CEO Meg Whitman is still the first person who will tell you that based on her comments at the company's analyst meeting on Wednesday.
The tech giant published an update on the HP's self-defined "turnaround" process along with guidance for fiscal 2014.
HP is projecting non-GAAP earnings per share to fall between $3.55 and $3.75 per share.
That proved to be good enough as Wall Street was forecasting estimates of $3.62 per share.
As the news trickled out of the analyst meeting at HP's San Jose headquarters, HP shares were up initially by approximately five percent.
Revenue has been a tricky spot for HP, to say the least, up until now.
But reiterating once again that 2013 was simply a transition year , HP leadership asserted that 2014 will be more profitable, with CFO Cathie Lesjak promising that "HP expects the year-over-year revenue decline in fiscal 2014 will moderate from fiscal 2013."
Furthermore, HP highlighted that it has reduced operating company net debt by almost $8 billion over the last year and is now approaching a goal of zero.
A big fixture of HP's revised business strategy hovers around IT, with plans to invest approximately 12 cents per share of savings from its restructuring program into this arm of the company in fiscal 2014.
Defined as the "New Style of IT," HP said this strategy will focus on the integration of a number of moving parts that are some common buzz terms all over the market right now -- namely cloud, mobile, big data, and security.
Bill Veghte, executive vice president and general manager of HP's Enterprise Group, highlighted the Converged Cloud as a bright spot, noting that the platform has signed on more than 1,900 enterprise customers -- approximately 60 percent year-over-year customer growth.
Here's a glimpse, by department, on what HP has in store for itself in 2014:
Enterprise Services: Revenue is expected to decline between four and six percent year-over-year in fiscal 2014. Nevertheless, HP is maintaining its long-term financial model of three to five percent in revenue growth with an operating margin rate of seven to nine percent.
Software: HP cited that the enterprise software market is growing at a compound annual growth rate of eight percent. HP also predicted that this market will be worth roughly $69 billion by 2016.
Printing and Personal Systems: Not much in the way of numbers were provided here, but executive vice president of the group Dion Weisler said that Personal Systems "outgrew the market in the most recent calendar quarter over the same period last year."

Our modern landscaping services are an indissoluble part, and very prominent in the ARK homes. The garden is designed at the same time as the rest of the living spaces of the house. Thus, when integrating house and garden, the project acquires an unitary dimension, since everything was based on the same design concepts.
ARK landscaping services succeeds to create sense-loaded environments. The experience of theses gardens takes you, on a domestic level, to a reunion of man with nature, to a tangible utopia.
By paying attention to the "spirit of the place". In modern landscaping every place, every landscape, every atmosphere, every project is unique. Respecting the environment, playing with its language, merging with the surroundings, are essential elements to ensure that the house is in harmony with the natural environment.
"The garden is the mediator between the architecture and the place. It is this element that encourages nature to accept me and allows me to set root. When I consider building a villa in a space. I wonder what I'm going to give back to nature o let me be there. And what I'm going to give is the garden, an element of union, of pivot, that ensures that the architecture and the place end up being in unity. So for me the garden is essential and yet it is the great forgotten aspect of contemporary architecture, even though it was already present in the origins of architecture, in Western culture when Plato and Aristotle taught in the gardens of "La Academia" and "El Liceo".
