The sound of surprise
A blog about music, reading and faith
Duke Ellington and the power of the small.
May 29, 2017 June 3, 2017 / thesoundofsurprise	/ Leave a comment
In the words of the late musician/ critic Benny Green, jazz has always been 'The Reluctant Art'. Born in the bars and ghettos of American cities it has always reached beyond itself and being an intensely aspirational music, it has produced gifted individuals who have embodied both its creative pulse and its reach beyond category. Those last two words are also the title of a biography of one such individual, the subject of this blog; Edward Kennedy Ellington, known forever as the Duke.
I want to reflect here on the music produced not by the succession of larger outfits that the Duke ran successfully for almost four decades, but on the small groups that he played in. They were often made up of players from his own orchestra (his "men" as he called them) and in the late 1930's were recorded by his resourceful manager Irving Mills for his Variety label. Often the leaders of these group were established Ellington soloists; clarinettist Barney Bigard had his 'Jazzopaters', trumpeter Cootie Williams his 'Rug Cutters' and in the personnel list for these groups is found the words 'Duke Ellington piano'. I came across a second hand compilation of this music in a record shop in Banbridge, County Down, Northern Ireland ('All The Duke's Men- The Greatest Ellington Small Group Recordings' Indigo 1998)) and was immediately hooked. I had heard the power of the large orchestra from the Cotton Club through to the 'New Orleans Suite' but I loved the speed and flexibility of the smaller combinations, especially the sublime alto of Johnny Hodges who had his own 'orchestra' in this period. Small groups were often produced out of the pressure of keeping large ensembles on the road in difficult economic times- Artie Shaw had his 'Gramercy Five' and Count Basie his 'Kansas City 6's and 7's and I love them all but Ellington's small groups are the ones I go back to for their invention and sheer bluesy majesty. And I was pleased to discover looking though my own Ellington collection that this habit continued on into the 1960's with a marvellous record called 'The Intimacy of the Blues'- I probably heard a track from this on the radio and bought it without listening to the rest of it- but the power of the small is still there as a later generation of Ellingtonians explore the small group dynamic. The power and the range of the full Ellington orchestra has little compare- as the almost monthly flood of newly released archive material testifies to, but these smaller ensembles have a place in my heart. Somebody once said that 'small is beautiful' and that remains true but these recordings show that small can be funky and bluesy too!

My husband Deron and I have had Fancy Rats as well as other small animals for quite some time now. My favorite (I must admit) are the Odd Eyed Hairless Dumbos. While I have had many Hairless, several Hairless Dumbos, I have only had one Odd Eye Hairless Dumbo.
I have had many types of animals and taught tricks to many of them, chickens, a duck, dogs, cats, horses, a guinea pig, parakeets, a cockatiel, goats, ponies are some I have taught tricks to over the years... I love training animals. I have trained sled dogs and lead dogs from a book, and again with books have broke horses to ride. I have had more types of animals then I can probably remember I really enjoy training animals.
I am married to Deron Kazmaier who is, among many things, a Mid-Distance Sled Dog Racer. His kennel name was/is DogStar Kennel www.dogstarkennel.com Deron own, trains, run, races and raises AKC Seppala line Siberian Huskies. www.seppalanews.com The joke at our house is that I married the guy with all the dogs and he married the harness maker.
We also have other animals and other animal hobbies. We enjoy packing/camping with the horses, goats www.workinggoats.com and llamas www.workingllamas.com... usually that means they all go as well as a few of our dogs on each trip.
We call our place in the woods "Grasshopper Ranch" we would rather play the work... so we made our play our source or income. Deron loves computers and is a computer programmer. He created a desk top publishing program in 1985. It is called PageStream www.pagestream.org and we believe it to be the best on the market. I make and sell animal equipment. What I sell, we use. I have designed many of the items myself for the use on our animals. Including but not limited to the outfits I make for Fancy Rats, Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Gerbils, Mice and well let's see... and dogs. LOL You can see some of the outfits as well as small animal harnesses and other items at www.marnasmenagrie.com.
Besides playing Frisbee with a few of our dogs www.upnorthdiscdogs.com (I used to compete). Deron made some regulation Dog Agility equipment for the dogs and I to play with. I had such a good time with that, I got into Fancy Rat Agility. That's right, other species of animals enjoy the same game of agility. See www.rabbitagility.com you might get some more "big ideas" of your own.
We own many animals, in fact we have more animals then since or cents. We have animals large and small and I spend each and every morning feeding, watering and cleaning up after them, it takes me about 3 1/2 - 4 1/2 hours. Then any training I am doing begins.
Our philosophy is: BREED THEM RIGHT, FEED THEM RIGHT, TREAT THEM RIGHT: We Breed Right and We Feed Right!! I do not breed my animals every time they come into heat. We also are careful about who is breeding who... ie pedigrees.
We only (even the mice) breed a litter, maybe two then rest the mother. We pride ourselves on buying quality food for each of our species. My Guinea Pigs DO NOT eat rabbit food, and my small animals do not eat Finch Food. Our birds do not eat dog food, etc. Deron teases me that our kitchen counter looks like "feeding time at the zoo" each morning. I have three baby bottles lined up for the goats as well as paper plates full of cut up people grade veggies for all the small animals and reptiles. We also do not hurry weaning any of the babies at our house. We may give them too much time with mom in some breeder opinions, but I would rather do that then wean too soon.


When Memphis handed over tax cuts, ServiceMaster wasn't billed as a turnaround situation. So what happened? Nik Varty took charge and reorganized.
Nikhil Varty will turn 54 in August.
He's already lived in 16 cities in his adult life and graduated from colleges in Mumbai, India, and Scranton, Pennsylvania.
These days he rents an apartment on the South Bluffs, while his wife and Dora, a 14-year-old Labrador retriever, and Ponyo, a young Newfoundland breed, remain home for now in the big house near Detroit.
He's the new turnaround guy at ServiceMaster Global Holdings.
Memphis has $7 million in tax breaks riding on him.
Memphians largely think of ServiceMaster as the local company that, rather than move away to Phoenix or Atlanta, stayed put.
Last winter the company pulled off the spectacular renovation of an empty Downtown shopping mall into a new headquarters, and celebrated the move this week with a grand opening.
But here's the thing: Nik Varty was hired to lead the company in a new direction.
Yet when Memphis and the state of Tennessee chipped in $12 million together to hold on to the 1,200 office jobs, ServiceMaster wasn't billed as a work in progress.
"I wasn't really looking for a job," Varty said.
Mark Tomkins, the ServiceMaster chairman of the board, looked him up anyway. Their paths had crossed earlier working at AlliedSignal (now Honeywell) and Great Lakes Chemical (now Chemtura).
As they talked Varty realized Tomkins wasn't offering a quiet office job. He liked that.
Varty had helped build up truck parts-maker WABCO (formerly Westinghouse Air Brake), largely by going beyond the heavy-truck manufacturers. He found new business among shops that sell truck parts to mechanics and truck fleets. He thought he could repeat his success in Memphis. The pay helped, too.
Compensation for Rob Gillette, his predecessor, had neared $14.4 million in his final year, half in stock options, according to a ServiceMaster report. Varty's compensation would reach $4.1 million in 2017 for less than half a year's work.
So he came to Memphis and immediately let go many senior executives Gillette had hired during his own short stint as CEO.
Sure, the company had run up debts — $2.6 billion worth by 2016, much of it borrowed to pay off New York investors. But never was the 13,000-employee company, the fourth-largest public corporation based in Memphis, described as ripe for reorganization.
Two of its brands were thought of as distinct prizes able to ring up hearty sales and keep Wall Street traders satisfied the stock price, despite the debt, wouldn't quickly swoon.
At the core was Terminix. Founded in the city in the 1930s, when Americans warred against wood-chewing termites, Terminix traces to a scientific solution created by chemists in the then-vital Memphis lumber industry (the metro area to this day is home to the National Hardwood Lumber Association).
By 2017, Terminix pest control sales surpassed $1.5 billion per year, a volume that meant if it were a private company it would be the city's fifth largest measured by sales.
While pest control anchored ServiceMaster, providing half the $2.9 billion in corporate revenue, American Home Shield was the fast-growth spear. AHS warrantied homes. House buyers signed up for the insurance to cover the sudden cost of replacing broken items such as furnaces and air conditioners.
Last year AHS revenue topped $1.1 billion — enough money to rank No. 8 in size in Memphis if it were a separate private business. Within ServiceMaster, AHS was viewed as the future.
Clients were served in most of the nation's 42,000 ZIP codes. This positioned AHS as a calling card to introduce its customers to Terminix and other ServiceMaster brands, including Merry Maids home cleaning, ServiceMaster Restore damage repair in calamities such as floods, FurnitureMedic repairs and Amerispec home inspections for new buyers.
American Home Shield would use its heft, marketing and social media to pump more business into Terminix and the other brands.
It looked like clear sailing when Gillette announced the decision to move the head office to 150 Peabody Place from East Memphis.
He immediately set out to reorganize Terminix, giving it a commercial arm, and spin off AHS as a separate company in autumn 2018.
Tomkins, the ServiceMaster chairman, never explained the reason for Gillette's departure. Neither did Gillette, a former auto parts executive who had kept his home near Phoenix.
Gillette's big task was to take ServiceMaster public, which means shares of stock were issued and now trade on the New York Stock Exchange. He also spun off TruGreen, a 1,900-employee lawn care business.
TruGreen LLC ranks as the No. 6 private business in Memphis with national sales exceeding $1.4 billion per year. Carving a new firm out of an existing business benefits shareholders. They get to own a stake in a new company.
Would Gillette have done what Varty is doing? It's not clear.
What is clear is Varty is doing it without many of Gillette's lieutenants. Senior executives who have joined the company in recent months include Pratip Dastidar, Kelly Kambs, Dion Persson and Matthew Stevenson.
"The speed at which we want to build, I need people from my background area," Varty said.
Eight months into the job, Varty sat down this week to discuss the turnaround.
"This company has its challenges, but it has incredible talent," Varty said.
Varty said as he learned about ServiceMaster one idea stood out — the Terminix focus on homes.
Varty quickly separated Terminix into two pieces, one residential and the other a new unit, commercial. He hired Kambs, a Chicago building products executive, to run the commercial side and recently paid $150 million for Copesan, an alliance of pest control firms.
Copesan lands national service contracts with corporations such as Chipotle, McDonald's and Starbucks. Varty said he intends to use the Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin-based alliance like a wedge leading Terminix itself to service national corporations.
Meanwhile, Stevenson, another former WABCO senior exec, came in to head the Terminix residential business.
Terminix owns rather than franchises most of its branches. Stevenson found 75 of the 400 branches throughout the nation had been closed in recent years.
He brought 800 employees from throughout the country to Memphis, Varty said, and heard no one liked seeing their pay fall for losing a client. He ended the pay cuts.
And he asked how employees wanted to be managed, Varty said. The dozens of ways used to gauge performance were narrowed to seven key metrics. Then the executives began looking at morale.
"We haven't promoted from within.
Is Varty's arrival good for Memphis?
Wall Street traders haven't doubted him. ServiceMaster's stock price doubled between 2014 and 2016, and then climbed again. Shares traded at $51.70 on Friday, up almost $11 since Varty came aboard.
In one way, the question doesn't matter. It's too soon to say how his new strategy will unfold. And anyway, Varty's here, ready to look for a house, move in his wife, Dora and Ponyo, settle in Memphis for the long term.
He comes across as a quiet man, almost humble compared to Gillette and his swagger.
Varty took center stage this week at the grand opening. Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland was on stage, too, telling the crowd ServiceMaster's move into the center city has been the high point of his two years and four months in office.
Varty did nothing on stage to shake that confidence.
"We are building a world-class company that can deliver services consistently," Varty told the audience.
World class? We'll have to wait and see.

Here at C&C, our team is constantly on the go. Down time is rare, so when we're able to relax, we really make the most of it. Many of us like to do a little digital detox time and step away from our phones, while others chill out with a good Netflix binge. Regardless, we know recharging is integral to getting inspired for when we step back into the office. That's why we partnered with Glade® at our ATX popup to bring you an immersive self-care experience complete with a manicure bar—and now, we're bringing you some of our favorite ways to find inspiration in the everyday. Glade Essentials Room Mist is the perfect way to wind down after a long day (psst…the Mandarin & Mimosa scent smells like the inside of an Anthro store!).
Below, our team shares their favorite ways to get inspired each day.
Your turn: How do you find inspiration in the everyday?


Officially opened on May 9th 2016, the Long Lane Recreation Ground in Attenborough is another brand new playspace featuring eibe Play equipment. To commemorate the event, local Nottinghamshire schoolchildren from Meadow Lane Infant School and Attenborough Church Pre-School were invited along to try out all the great new products at the recently refurbished play area. There was a lot of sunshine and a lot of excitement, all witnessed by the outgoing Mayor of Broxtowe, Councillor Susan Bagshaw.
The original play area had become very run down and outdated, so a group of concerned locals contacted Broxtowe Borough Council to see if necessary improvements could be made. With suitable funding secured from Waste Recycling Limited (WREN), raised as a result of the partnership between the Council and Groundwork Greater Nottingham, the park could be refurbished with attractive new play equipment.
After consultation with key stakeholders and indeed local children themselves, eibe supplied six new items at a cost of just over £10,000. The eibe minimondo Rose is a picturesque unit for toddlers, which sits alongside some great swings for older children and an all-inclusive ecorino seesaw.
"Fantastic play facilities help children enjoy the great outdoors and their leisure time with their friends and families, as well as giving them chance to run around and keep active".


And we're back! Last week, while DDP was still on vacation, a new shop opened up in downtown Downey. It's called Creamistry. It's similar to Coldstone Creamery, in that you choose exactly what you want to go into your ice cream. The difference is that, at Creamistry, you watch your ingredients be frozen right in front of you, in a process that uses liquid nitrogen to create a rich and smooth (and ice particle-free) concoction.
I love ice cream, but I hate crowds more, so I'm still waiting to try this out myself. Be sure and let us know what you think!


Growing up I adored the author Enid Blyton. Books such as Pip the pixie, The Magic Faraway Tree, and, of course, The Secret's series, will always be firm favourites to me.

Wishing you a lovely weekend where ever you may be!
Graham is in the process of making two wooden swords for part of his Halloween costume. He thought it would be a great idea to make Beth and Arthur a pair of easy quick swords to play with.
Sadly, because the kids are aged 5 and 2, Arthur took no time to hit Beth's fingers and head with his sword.
After a warning to be gentle the swords were quickly seen to be unsafe as Arthur was being too rough towards his sister. So Graham had to put an end to their fun.
Thankfully, Graham had a better idea and when he went to the hardware store later that day he came home with two foam pipe insulation tubes, and the sword fighting recommenced but was pain free!

Q: Laravel Cashier auto send email on invoice / receipt On Stripe document / Laravel cashier it says it can send email automatically after invoice was created. I tried to switch the settings related on that on Stripe's settings menu, but I am not receiving any email after I purchase or subscribe. Do I still need to manually code the email sending? ( I am thinking that it should be automatically sent after invoice was created )

A: According to Stripe docs, if you want Stripe to automatically send receipts, You have to set customer's email parameter when creating a subscription and ensure that the option email customers for successful payments is enabled on Stripe dashboard
$user->newSubscription('default', 'monthly')
    ->create($paymentMethod, [
        'email' => $user->email, // <= customer's email
    ]);

Please note that:

Receipts for payments created using your test API keys are not sent
  automatically. Instead, you can view or manually send a receipt using
  the Dashboard.

But if you want to send receipts by Laravel instead, You can define a new webhook event handler and use Stripe webhook:

*

*Set up a new endpoint at Stripe dashboard to https://your-domain.com/stripe/webhooks

*List the URI as an exception in your VerifyCsrfToken middleware or list the route outside of the web middleware group:
protected $except = [
    'stripe/*',
];

*Define a new WebhookController and add a handleInvoicePaymentSucceeded method to the controller to handle the invoice.payment_succeeded webhook:
<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Laravel\Cashier\Http\Controllers\WebhookController as CashierController;
use App\Notifications\InvoicePaid;

class WebhookController extends CashierController
{
    /**
     * Handle payment succeeds.
     *
     * @param  array $payload
     * @return \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response
     */
    protected function handleInvoicePaymentSucceeded(array $payload)
    {
        $invoice = $payload['data']['object'];
        $user = $this->getUserByStripeId($invoice['customer']);

        if ($user) {
            $user->notify(new InvoicePaid($invoice));
        }

        return new Response('Webhook Handled', 200);
    }
}

*Define a route to your Cashier controller within your routes/web.php file. This will overwrite the default shipped route:
Route::post('stripe/webhook', '\App\Http\Controllers\WebhookController@handleWebhook');

*(Optional) You can manually set Stripe's webhook signatures for more security.
See Laravel docs form more info.

Pregnancy is a beautiful phase of a woman's life which can be handled easily with proper information and intelligence. It is important to take enough care during pregnancy because the woman bears a baby in her womb. As we know that the expectant mother's body is very delicate at this phase so, she should take utmost care to deliver a perfectly healthy baby.
One of the most important things to do during pregnancy is regular medical check-ups. Your doctor will check the health conditions of both the baby and the expecting mother. Besides, he may advice you to incorporate certain lifestyle changes for a healthy pregnancy like shedding your extra weight or leaving smoking and drinking habits.
It is important to have a healthy and balanced diet during pregnancy. As you know that your body will experience several changes during this stage to create a new human life so, it is important to nourish the unborn child with appropriate nutrients necessary for its proper development.
Your diet must be rich in minerals and vitamins. Besides, you should also take supplements to make up for various nutritional requirements after consulting a doctor. Many women feel fatigue during pregnancy so, enough rest should be taken during this phase.
Fitness is very important during pregnancy. An expectant mother should stay fit for a healthy delivery and a healthy child. It is advisable to include a few exercises in your daily regime. With the approval of a health provider, a pregnant woman can start some mild exercises.
You can begin with walking daily for around 15-20 minutes. Exercises help in preventing swelling and pain in various body parts of the pregnant women. It is wise to choose Yoga during pregnancy as it's considered to be one of the mildest form of exercise.
As a preparatory step for delivery, a pregnant woman needs to take certain vaccines such as Tetanus Toxoid .An expectant mother should have full shots of T.T before the due date in order to protect both the baby and mother from the impact of this dangerous disease during the time of delivery.
Anti-tetanus serum should be given in case of wounds or any other problems for quick protection. You should not take any kind of medicine during pregnancy unless it is prescribed by a medical practitioner as some medicines can adversely affect the development of the child.
A pregnant woman should get rid of all habits that can prove hazardous for the unborn baby. She must avoid smoking and consumption of alcohol. Apart from this, you must remember to stay away from people who smoke as passive smoking is also harmful for both the would-be mother and baby.
We all know the importance of keeping good health during our pregnancy. Expectant mothers and women who are planning to conceive must maintain overall well being and proper health for their healthy baby. Only a healthy body can conceive and deliver a healthy child.


Although Bloom's entire dialogue with his cat probably reflects its influence, two sentences in particular allude to a section of Michel de Montaigne's Apology for Raymond Sebond (1568). Bloom thinks, "They call them stupid. They understand what we say better than we understand them." These sentences acknowledge Montaigne's conviction that human intelligence and language are not so extraordinary as human beings commonly suppose: their origins lie in animal powers, and many analogues to their operations can be found in other creatures.
Montaigne's Apology is a sprawling examination of various Christian theological positions, relentlessly critical of the vanity of human presumption and animated throughout by skepticism about the efficacy of human reason. In one highly readable section this skepticism takes the form of comparing the mental powers of human beings to those of animals. Early in that section Montaigne writes of man, "How does he know, by the force of his intelligence, the secret internal stirrings of animals? By what comparison between them and us does he infer the stupidity that he attributes to them? / When I play with my cat, who knows if I am not a pastime to her more than she is to me?" (trans. Donald Frame).
When Joyce substituted "understand what we say" for "play with," he was borrowing from another passage a few sentences later in the Apology: "This defect that hinders communication between them and us, why is it not just as much ours as theirs? It is a matter of guesswork whose fault it is that we do not understand one another; for we do not understand them any more than they do us." Here and elsewhere in the essay Montaigne argues that animals understand the intentions of other animals, albeit imperfectly, through various kinds of signals, often across species boundaries. Horses can tell when a dog's bark expresses aggression toward them; hearing another kind of bark, they are not alarmed. Birds utter different cries for different situations and their meaning is understood, often by other species. Nor are sounds needed to signify: countless physical gestures can communicate intentions, in animals as in humans.
In addition to the many varieties of language, and the many structures, both social and architectural, that animals build, Montaigne argues that their behaviors show clear evidence of intellectual processes, to any observer who is not stubbornly determined to dismiss them as unconscious products of natural instinct. The fox that decides where to cross a frozen river by putting its ear to the ice to listen for rushing water; the dog that follows its master to three branching paths and, after finding no scent on two of them, goes charging up the third without sniffing; the thirsty bird that drops stones into a container until the water at the bottom rises to the top: in these and dozens of other examples Montaigne infers that the animal is thinking, just as everyone would infer that a human being who behaved similarly was thinking. He also observes evidence of compassion, fidelity, cooperation, gratitude, shame, anger, trickery, playacting, and a host of other supposedly human emotions, virtues, and powers.
Bloom converses with his cat, and he attributes not only understanding but also humanlike emotions to her: "vindictive," "cruel." The narrative hovering near his consciousness does the same thing: "shameclosing eyes," "mewing plaintively," "dark eyeslits narrowing with greed." Later in Calypso the transference is reversed: "The ferreteyed porkbutcher," "foxeyes," "They used to believe you could be changed into an animal." To some extent Bloom is undoubtedly anthropomorphizing his cat, and the transformations of people into animals are more fanciful than declarative. But all these meditations on the commonalities between human beings and animals introduce the notion that the different species exist on a biological and psychological continuum.
In previous chapters Stephen has imagined himself as a "dogsbody" and viewed a dog on the beach in strikingly human terms. Bloom's interest in animals breeds an interest in vegetarianism, and also a sense of compassion: he feeds not only his cat but also gulls hovering over the Liffey and a dog roaming the streets of Nighttown, and he once took a homeless dog into his household. He would probably agree with Montaigne that "those who keep animals should be said rather to serve them than to be served by them."
Ulysses in general might be said to exemplify Montaigne's statement that "We are neither above nor below the rest." Humanity is part of an interconnected web of living things, and indeed things in general. The novel adumbrates a post-humanist perspective that might properly be called ecological.

Owner/Chef Michael Nicola has been in the restaurant business in Lake Placid, for 36 years, specializing in Authentic Italian Cuisine. His daughter, Maggie, has now joined the family business, as a chef. We are committed to using the highest quality and freshest available ingredients, and have been since 1994. Home-made everyday items include, cheeses, pastas, and wood fired pizza dough. Nicola's is situated on Main Street, in the middle of the village, directly across the street from the Olympic Center in Lake Placid. About Us: Started in 1994 in a converted auto parts store, Nicola's was the first modern Italian restaurant north of Manhattan to feature wood fired pizza. Prior to opening his restaurant, chef/owner Michael Nicola traveled extensively to Rome, Florence, Bologna, and Naples Italy, New York City, and San Francisco. He visited vineyards, olive groves, farmers markets, and cheese plants in each region, eating in local restaurants and immersing himself in the local culture. He learned first hand the Italian cooking principle that a few quality ingredients cooked properly, are the secret to authentic Italian taste. Returning to Lake Placid he opened Nicola's Over Main; it was an immediate success. Ten years later, having outgrown their original location, the Nicola's built their current facility situated directly across the street from he Olympic Center. The Nicola's philosophy combines old world hospitality and lifestyle with the love of good food. We are at the restaurant selecting ingredients, making pizza and bread dough, and pastas. The wood fired oven is heated to the optimal temperature to insure that the crust is always thin and crispy. Our marinara sauce exemplifies the Italian cooking principle that simpler is better. A combination of ground pork, veal, beef, and hand crushed plum tomatoes, are the basis of our famous Bolognese sauce. Chef Nicola starts with the soffrito, adds each ingredient, one by one, and slow simmers the tomatoes to intensify the rich flavors. To ensure the next generation of Nicola's restaurant is Michael's daughter, Maggie. After spending three winter seasons skiing and cooking in Lake Tahoe, Maggie made the life decision to commit to the family business. She is now the chef and works side by side everyday with her father, honoring her skills and carrying on the family tradition. Together they create a unique item, one that is not on the menu. Taste the difference.


I've been using this for about a week. My skin is softer I don't put it on all the time maybe once a day if I am lucky and remember. My legs which I have been neglecting this summer are really showing the signs the most. No dry ickyness.
I have to say I would rather have a pump bottle for this lotion. I am not a fan of putting my fingers/hands in the tub. I will have to see how long it lasts to see if it's really worth the 20 dollar price tag though. I am sure if you are doing lots of swimming this would not be enough.
For right now my skin seems to like it and it's working for me.
Even in the tub it seems more liquidy than some of their other lotions so if you like a reaaaaaaaally thick lotion this is not for you. If you like a lighter lotion for day time and then do something richer at night this just might work for you.
Like I said my skin has been neglected a bit this summer but it's working for me. Even my feet are looking better and they have been so dry this summer because I walk around barefoot or just in flip flops all the time. I abuse my poor feet.
I would buy this again BUT I kinda have my eye on the waaaay more expensive "let me find money on the street to justify my splurge" Creme Anglaise for my next lotion purchase.

Q: How to use QuickTip on Grid cell Sencha GXT 3.1.1? I need add a tooltip on grid cell, but this tooltip must allow the user select text inside the tooltip. I'm using the QuickTip like this.
ColumnConfig<ClientModel, String> clmName = new ColumnConfig<ClientModel, String>
(dpGridModel.name(), 150, "Name");
clmName.setCell(new TextCell() {
        @Override
        public void render(Context context, String value, SafeHtmlBuilder sb) {
            if (value != null) {
                StringBuilder bAux  = new StringBuilder();
                ClientModel c = lstModel.get(context.getIndex());
                bAux.append("<div style='width:100%;height:21px;' qtip='
");
                bAux.append("
ID:	" + c.getId() + "
");
                bAux.append("
Name:	" + c.getName() + "
");
                bAux.append("
Adress:	" + c.getAddress()+ "
");
                bAux.append("
City:	" + c.getCity()+ "
");
                bAux.append("
Email:	" + c.getEmail() + "
");
                bAux.append("
Phone:	" + c.getPhone() + "
");
                bAux.append("
Zip Code:	" + c.getZipcode() + "
");
                bAux.append("
'>" + value + "
");
                sb.appendHtmlConstant(bAux.toString());
            }
        }

    });

QuickTip t = new QuickTip(gridClient);
t.setAllowTextSelection(true);
t.setClosable(true);

The Tooltip ever hides when mouse move. I need what the Tooltip wait by close click to hide, like ToolTip with ToolTipConfig.
I tryed using QuickTip with ToolTipConfig like this.
QuickTip cqt = new QuickTip(gridClient);
cqt.setMaxWidth(650);
cqt.setClosable(true);
cqt.setQuickShowInterval(500);
cqt.setAllowTextSelection(true);
ToolTipConfig config = new ToolTipConfig();
config.setAutoHide(false);
cqt.setToolTipConfig(config);

It's works QuickTip doesn't hide, but appears a blank tooltip above the QuickTip
thanks for help :D

A: The second try does not work because when you call setToolTipConfig in the QuickTip object it is going to create a new ToolTip for the QuickTip and this is not what we want.
In the first case we just need to set autoHide to false, but there is no method to do this in the QuickTip class, so the option is to use the update method like this:
QuickTip t = new QuickTip(gridClient);
t.setAllowTextSelection(true);
ToolTipConfig config = new ToolTipConfig();
config.setAutoHide(false);
config.setCloseable(true);  // need to set it here otherwise it will be overwritten
t.update(config);

We didn't know "mimi" but through Molly's stories I kinda feel we did in a sense:) "Mimi" has brought many smiles and laughs to me and Molly's Summit Eye family. I know how much Molly's mimi meant to her and her family, and we are keeping you all in our thoughts & prayers.
I am sorry for your loss. I do not know Dorothy but she has such a kind, beautiful face that I right away felt like I did know her.
Actually her loss is a loss to the whole family & her community also.
I am so sorry for your loss. I am sending a check to Nationwide children's Hospital in memory of Dorothy. The number of Krause grandchildren is dwindling.
Dorothy has been a part of my family since I was born in 1940. My parents were close friends with she and Bob. I grew up with her children. She outlived so many of her generation. We will always remember the things she did for us and the times we all enjoyed together. Our sympathy to Bob, Jerry, Cheryl and their families and to Joyce who has been her caregiver.
I was so sadden to hear about your Mom. I will always remember her as a such a happy person with that great smile of hers.....a true lover of life!
I am so sorry for your loss. Dorothy was such a fun, sweet woman. I met Dorothy and Bob years ago through Dorothy's friend Eleanor Lankford who was our neighbor. We had quite few laughter filled get togethers. I'm sure you all had great times with Dorothy and I am so glad I knew her.

Canon Foreigners in Comics Adaptations
On March 16, 2018 March 16, 2018 By Keya SenguptaIn Comics, Movies, Opinion, Television
There are plenty of reasons to create a new character in a comic book related work – to add diversity, to tell a story set in the universe but separated from the main characters, to flesh out the cast, to make a distant prequel or sequel, and so on. But opinion on these original characters tends to be polarized. While there are plenty of people that like them without hesitation – usually non-comics fans – there are many that cling to their source material so much that they hate them for existing.
We need new characters, but therein lies the rub – oftentimes, the audience doesn't like said new characters. And they continue to dislike said characters for not being canonical. With time, these characters could get redeemed in the eyes of the audience, especially if they were introduced into the comics and became a canon immigrant, but why introduce a character in the comics when they weren't liked? We need new characters to appear in comics and their adaptations, because how boring would it be if the only characters we ever encountered were the original casts? Without new characters in adaptations, we wouldn't have Harley Quinn. We wouldn't have X-23. We wouldn't have Kaldur'ahm. Hell, we wouldn't even have Jimmy Olsen or Barbara Gordon. Not all new characters are as immediately liked like these were. But they can be redeemed, and it's better to have the conviction to try to make that happen than to just cram already canon characters in roles they don't fit.
Sometimes, writing a new character is just easier. That's not bad. It just is. In The Dark Knight trilogy, Bruce's love interest for the first two movies was an original character. Rachel Dawes. She was okay. I personally found her a little bland and forgettable, as well as being bothered that her primary role was to die, but that's fine. My opinion. What I found more interesting than her as a character, though, is that she existed at all.
Batman's iconic love interest is Catwoman. She's the one most people think of when asked to name Bruce Wayne's love interest. She appears consistently throughout Batman related media, because like Superman and Lois Lane, there's Batman and Catwoman. And yet she doesn't appear until the third film in the trilogy. Rachel was introduced because the writers wanted a romantic subplot in the first two movies, but didn't want the complications that would arise as a result of using Selina or Talia or any of Bruce's canonical love interests. She was new and therefore malleable. She could be anything. She could be anyone.
I fully support the creation of new characters. Comics and their adaptations are a unique medium/form of storytelling. It's just as valid to introduce a new character in an adaptation as it is to do so in a comic. Comics aren't static, and new characters and new interpretations of old ones are how they evolve. It even makes sense to do it for a specific purpose. Marcos Diaz from The Gifted; Laura Kinney from X-Men: Evolution; Harley Quinn from Batman: The Animated Series; everyone from Powerless, that gorgeous comedy that was cancelled far too soon. All likeable original characters, created to serve a purpose in the plot, but more than just plot devices.
But when the creation of new characters is handled poorly, you get Sara Lance, who could be a good character, except for how much she embodies white feminism. I want to like Sara much more than I do, to the point where she pushed me away from a show I used to enjoy. You get Felicity Smoak, who started off well and with potential, but then had everything good and interesting stripped away from her when the writers turned her into a love interest at the expense of her character. While I can't say Felicity is the reason I stopped watching Arrow, she was definitely one of them. You get characters that are boring and forgettable – like the previously mentioned Rachel Dawes, more plot device than person.
What I hate more than the creation of new characters, though, is when an already canonical character is completely changed in a new medium. I take issue with the changing of random aspects of a character to fit them into a premade box. Call me crazy, but Arrow turning Dinah Lance into a lawyer felt like a terrible move to me. It was fine when we were just talking about her working for a nonprofit. That was fine. That was good. We were talking about a woman using the legal system to fight for the marginalized. But then she became a prosecutor, and while she was a prosecutor, she was also breaking the law through the pursuit of vigilante justice. I didn't like that change. I could accept it, though, because her personality was identifiable as Black Canary.
There are changes that I get and accept, even if I don't necessarily like them – take Laurel instead of Dinah. Yes, it's weird to have a name change for such an iconic character. But it also makes some amount of sense. Dinah is quite an old fashioned name, Laurel is a gorgeous one, and you're much more likely to encounter a Laurel today than a Dinah. But Arrow's version of Oliver Queen shares a name with his comics self and little else. Zari Tomaz from Legends of Tomorrow has absolutely nothing to do with her comics counterpart. Scott Summers from Apocalypse has none of comic Scott's backstory or personality. It's lazy. It's a clear sign that someone isn't actually interested in writing the character they were given. If that's what a writer does, it seems like they want to have it both ways – they want the freedom to write a character however they feel like doing it, but they want to take the already paved road to get there by using one that's already canon and thus has a fanbase/name recognition.
New characters aren't fundamentally good or bad, they just are. But they're much easier to accept in original properties than adaptations, where viewers go in with a set of preexisting expectations and opinions. And the visceral dislike for them that so many people have results in writers altering canon characters to avoid it, which may end up being even worse. I'll admit that I'm not always quick to embrace the original characters myself. But I think we all need to work on getting better at it, because I'd rather see any number of poorly written new characters that could get better eventually than an already established character twisted beyond recognition to fit a role that they shouldn't be in.

Part 3: Clouds in the Evening Sky More Darkly Gather
Mornings after were always incredibly awkward, particularly since Tosh had woken to so few. Gazes slanting downward, blushes, stilted conversation, sudden flashes of a face at the moment of orgasm overlaying the morning's paperwork - it all made for a distracted, disjointed day.
Doubly so when she'd been with both her co-worker and her boss the night before. Tosh cupped her hands over her cheeks, checking for any betraying heat.
Ianto had been awake and gone even before the alarm had buzzed, leaving Tosh and Jack curled up under Jack's coat. She only barely remembered him leaving. Jack's quiet departure had roused her briefly, the opened office door letting in the warm, spiky scent of coffee. When the computer had buzzed at 6 AM, she was alone and cold.
The rush into yesterday's clothing was surreal and furtive, even though she knew Owen and Gwen wouldn't be in for at least another two hours. Skirt on, shirt buttoned, shoes found; one stay-up had an unmistakable run from toe to knee. Bundling them both into one hand, she was looking for a waste bin when a light tap sounded at the door.
Tosh scrambled behind Jack's desk and dropped the handful of beige silk into a drawer. Forcing herself to relax, she pushed back a few errant wisps of hair. "Yes?" The word came out as a mortifying squeak.
The door opened to reveal Ianto, a cup of black coffee in one hand. His face was blank and decorous as a butler's.
"Coffee?" His voice was as cool as his demeanor, the cup perfectly balanced and quiet on its saucer.
She managed a nervous smile, gone as quickly as it had appeared. "Thanks." She took the cup, careful not to touch his fingers in the process; sipped bitterness. She kept her attention on the gentle swirls of steam on the surface of the coffee.
Ianto hadn't moved. Tosh glanced up to see him staring at her, a small furrow between his eyes. She felt an anxious giggle bubbling in her chest, fought it down.
Where had all of last night's confidence gone? She bit the inside of her cheek, then set her cup and saucer down on Jack's desk, still clear of papers and books. The room smelled of coffee and sex.
"Have I messed things up?" The words slipped out, and she found herself gazing up at him, searching his face for any crack in his mask, an indication he saw her. "I don't even know what to say to you right now."
He looked down and away, a wry smile twisting his lips for a moment. "I'm out of my comfort zone myself." He shrugged and continued, "Everything outside this office is exactly the same as it was yesterday, Tosh. I don't think less of you, and Jack is as full of innuendo as ever, but not a titch more." Ianto's voice was distant, placating. "You haven't messed up anything."
A ping of anger propelled her forward to stand well within Ianto's personal space. His brows went up, but he didn't back away.
"Outside this office, nothing's changed?" Tosh reached up to put her hand over his heart. Taking a breath, she asked, "What about inside this office, Ianto?" Her hand moved to clench on his tie; she stilled her fingers after an initial twitch. "The last kiss I had before last night was Owen," Though it still stung to say it, "And I can count my boyfriends on one hand. I don't do this." Her voice came out louder than she'd expected, but she couldn't back down now.
The muscles under her fingers tightened, and he glanced around. Tosh looked down. I've embarrassed him. A lump growing in her throat, she would have pulled away, but Ianto brought both hands up to capture hers.
"I don't know," he objected in a low voice, "I don't know what to think. I'll never know ... never even understand what Jack is thinking."
Jack, it was always Jack with this boy.
"I've laid my cards on the table, Ianto." She felt his fingers close a little tighter around hers, sending a tiny thrill up the back of her neck. "I - I'm not putting a name to it, or restrictions on it, either." Steeling herself, she reached her other hand to Ianto's waist.
I think I need this to be more than nothing. I don't want to wake up alone anymore, not even here.
The realisation was overpowering.
Ianto's eyes crinkled at the edges; he took a deep, deliberate breath and let it out in a whoosh. With a quick movement, he brought her hand to his mouth and kissed her wrist. Keeping a firm hold on her fingers, he reached back to the office door.
He called out, "Jack! We'd like to know if you're busy for the next hour or so."
There was a pause, in which Ianto's grip on Tosh intensified. She bit her cheek again, imagining Jack's face grimacing in annoyance, or disgust, or -
Jack's joyous laugh below blew that image away. "You two are insatiable! Lucky me." His steps rang on the stairwell, quick and eager. As he rounded the corner, his handsome face lit in a broad grin, Tosh felt a tiny piece of her anxiety slip away.
Once meant nothing. Twice - at least twice meant potential.
Jack shut the door behind him and pulled Ianto in for a greedy kiss. It deepened, and Ianto let Tosh's fingers slip away. It was like that door had slammed in her face; Tosh stood frozen watching the two men. Ianto choked out a low-pitched moan when Jack shoved down the sober blue suit coat, leaving Ianto's arms tangled in stiff fabric.
Abruptly, Tosh felt like nothing more than a voyeur. She ducked her head and headed for the door. They didn't need her anymore, probably didn't even want her -
Jack's hand on her elbow stopped her short of escape. She looked up, eyes wide.
Ianto had his face buried in Jack's neck, breathing hard. Jack kept his grip on Ianto's jacket, but his eyes were on Tosh.
"Hey," he breathed, his eyes bright, "C'mere."
Lips parted, she glanced back toward Ianto. He twitched a smile that just barely reached his eyes, but held her gaze, not challenging. Like he was waiting to see what she would do. Jack's look sharpened; she could feel it burning her cheek.
"Regrets, Tosh?" His voice was gentle, noncommittal.
"No!" She blurted the word out before thinking, as though she were trying to catch a dropped wineglass. Pausing to turn the thought over in her head, she said in more deliberate tones, "No. No regrets. But - I don't want to end up a third wheel."
Jack cocked his head to one side, the sly smile creeping back onto his face. "God, I hate the relationship talks."
Tosh laughed unwillingly, rubbed the back of her neck. She looked up to see Ianto's rueful grin.
"Do we need to go over this now?" asked Jack politely. He hadn't let go of Ianto, and his other hand moved from Tosh's arm to her collarbone.
Her awareness narrowed to Jack's fingertips sliding beneath the collar of her blouse. A rush of giddiness went through her and she grinned. Reckless now, she put one hand inside Jack's unbuttoned shirt and leaned forward to pull Ianto's face to hers. He responded swiftly, trying to pull his hands free.
Jack clucked his tongue and Tosh opened her eyes to see him twisting Ianto's jacket tightly, keeping him trapped. Ianto pulled away from Tosh, glancing back at Jack in confusion.
Jack's smile was back in full force. He leaned back, letting go of Tosh and locking his office door.
"I have an idea," he said. "Weren't you wearing stockings last night?"
Still pressed against Ianto, Tosh paused, then glanced down to Ianto's pinned arms.
She grinned and let her hand slip down to press her thumb against Ianto's throat, then pulled back and maneuvered behind the desk to retrieve her stockings. Pulling them out of the bottom drawer, she held them up and watched Ianto's face tighten in anticipation. Jack leaned over to whisper something in Ianto's ear.
Tosh pushed away the rational voices muttering in her head, telling her how insane this was, how incredibly wrong. I do far too much thinking, she thought, determined to release control of this situation to someone else for once.
In an echo of last night, Tosh kicked off her shoes and untucked her shirt one-handed. Once freed, she beckoned to Jack. He nodded understanding and marched Ianto to the front of the desk, kicking the chair carelessly to one side. Ianto gasped and tipped up his chin, baring his neck to her. In a quick, savage movement, Jack pulled the jacket the rest of the way from Ianto's shoulders, easily recapturing his wrists as they fell free.
"How good are you with knots?" Jack spoke with his lips a scant inch away from Ianto's skin.
Tosh smiled and reached across the bare wood to trail her fingers over Ianto's quivering face. "To be able to get out of them, I have to know how to make them properly." Ianto is practically hyperventilating. She searched his face, wondering, Could they have done this together before? His muscles were bunching under her hands but he still hadn't said a word.
"Then let's tie him up and have some fun." Jack's voice dipped down to a low, chocolaty register. "Last chance to object, Ianto."
Jack ran his fingers gently through the curls at the nape of Ianto's neck. He seemed frozen under the touch, his gaze fixed on Tosh's face. She sobered, wary of seeing reluctance or fear.
Suddenly, he grinned widely. "Do it."
Abruptly, Jack wrenched Ianto's head to the side and kissed him viciously. Breaking the kiss just as roughly, he summoned Tosh to him with a sharp nod.
"We'll tie him to the desk. Face down." Jack's voice was commanding. Tosh felt a thrill run straight through her and bobbed her head obediently. She saw Jack turn his attention back to Ianto's taut, yearning expression. "And you - not one sound, or I leave you here for the rest of the day."
Ianto inhaled sharply and nodded understanding. Jack smiled and kicked Ianto's feet wide, stepping between them to press against Ianto's back. After a breathless moment, he pushed his prisoner down across the desk, brought his trapped wrists forward and held them for Tosh. She looped her stockings around and over and then knotted them tightly around a drawer pull. Tosh looked up to meet Jack's gaze. He was bent over Ianto's back, both of them were watching her intently. She licked dry lips.
He nodded, then slid his hands back from Ianto's wrists, stopping at his belt. "We don't have time for fooling around this morning." In a smooth, practiced move, Jack unbuckled Ianto's trousers and laid him bare from waist to ankles. Levering his own braces down with his thumbs, he looked up at Tosh.
"Top left drawer."
She fumbled it open, her hands trembling, and pulled out a condom and a bottle of lube. She paused to let Ianto see them, then handed them over to Jack who was stripping down his own trousers. Seeing him naked from the waist down threw her back to a moment the night before, his cock thrusting inside her as she clawed at the smooth skin on his back. Jack took the bottle and package, stroking her palm with one thumb in the same motion to gain her attention.
"I'm afraid you'll need to be self-sufficient this time ... I hope the show is worth it. We'll make it up to you later."
Tosh felt a spasm of uneasiness roll up her chest, but it was drowned in a wave of fire when Jack rolled on the condom and lube, then pressed the tip of his cock against Ianto's propped up rear. Ianto shivered, pushed himself backwards against Jack.
Jack laughed, a throaty, sexy sound. "Eager little bastard, aren't you?"
Eyes locked on the tableau before her, Tosh leaned back against the wall and hiked up her skirt. She slid her fingers into the warm, wet heat between her thighs and began to breathe harder.
Fingers tracing light, wet circles around her clit, she watched Ianto as he lay entirely submissive under Jack, breath coming fast and ragged, hands fisted around his bonds. Jack accelerated his thrusts achingly slowly, tantalizing Ianto into pushing back in greedy frustration. Laughing, Jack stopped moving altogether and held Ianto with commanding hands. Tosh let her eyes slip half-closed, imagining those hands on her.
"I'm in charge here," he growled mockingly, "I set the pace, you lie still." Ianto strained against him, then went quiescent. Jack thrust in, agonizingly slow, then resumed his own rhythm. Matching it, Tosh could feel sparkles starting at the base of her skull.
This isn't going to take long, she thought.
As if to prove her right, Ianto suddenly arched and shuddered soundlessly, straining against his bonds. Jack laughed.
"Good man," he purred, and thrust hard and fast, fingers gripping Ianto's hips tightly. He closed his eyes and groaned as he came. His face relaxed and he smiled, shaking his hair from his forehead with a satisfied sigh.
Right on the edge, an image in her mind of Jack pressing her roughly up against a wall, those strong fingers around her throat - Tosh closed her eyes on it and shattered like a mirror, waves of pleasure riding through her body. Her hips bucked against her fingers and she let her head drop back.
She came back to herself gradually. When Jack chuckled again, she opened her eyes. He was sliding carefully back from Ianto and slapped him playfully on the rear. Tosh bit her lip, her chest contracting wistfully at the complete surrender and satisfaction in every line of Ianto's body. Jack caught her eyes and his face softened.
"Next time, it'll be you."
