My family and I went to the nearest shrine "Shirahama Shrine" on January 3rd after busy days.
Most of Japanese go to shrine at the beginning of new year to pray for good health and happiness.
It calls "Hatsumoude" in Japanese.
This shrine is very famous for its long history more than 2,600 years.
That's why this place always is crowded with a looooot of visitors in the morning on January 1st.

The festival of Shirahama shrine which has a rich history of more than 2,400 years was held for 3 days from October 28th.
And it was the last time for my son to participate as a member of Kodomo Mikoshi (portable shrine carried by children).
My son and his friends participated the stage performance and showed us dancing on October 30th.
You can see the other photos on our Facebook album.

There is a shrine called "Shirahama Shrine", 7 or 8 minutes walking from Pension Sakuraya.
They have a long history more than 2,400 years, so this shrine is the oldest one in Izu peninsula.
They have a festival for 3 days at the end of October every year, and it was started today.
A lot of residents participate this festival, and of course the children as well.
My son helped to carry the small shrine with his friends.
He is now the last grade of primary school, so it was the last chance for him.

Canada's foreign ministry will summon the Israeli ambassador next week to express displeasure over "unacceptable" comments about the "torture" of Canadian of Palestinian origin detained in Israel.
Israeli embassy spokesman Ofir Gendelman said on Thursday that Canadian Jamal Akkal admitted he was preparing terrorist attacks against Israel in North America on behalf of the resistance Palestinian group Hamas.
The Israeli ambassador to Canada, Haim Divon, told reporters on Friday that Akkal made the statement during a closed-door hearing.
Based on the confession, the Israeli embassy said this was the first time Hamas had planned to carry out such attacks in Canada and the United States.
"Among the scenarios that were planned (were) attaching an explosive device to vehicles, shooting attacks and (the) assassination of a visiting Israeli official in Canada," the embassy said in a statement.
But two Canadian consular agents present at the closed-door hearing did not hear Akkal make such a confession, according to Reynald Doiron, a spokesman for the foreign ministry.
Moreover, Divon should not have commented on the matter, since Israeli authorities are still investing Akkal, Doiron said during a telephone call with reporters.
"We're going to tell (Divon) that the comments made by him and other people in his embassy are inappropriate"
"The ambassador is going to be called in. A senior official at the department is going to meet with him early next week and will tell him ... that any comment (like those) made yesterday is totally unacceptable," Doiron said.
"We're going to tell (Divon) that the comments made by him and other people in his embassy are inappropriate."
Akkal's lawyer Jamil al-Khatib told CBC television that Israel had used "psychological torture" to get his client to confess.
kept awake for 20 days and made to sign a confession written in Hebrew, which he does not understand.

Should You Sell Your Goods at a Flea Market or Crafts Fair?
Handmade crafts are enjoying a heyday in the U.S. Etsy is seeing $2 billion in sales a year, which may soon be eclipsed by the fast-growing newcomer, Amazon Handmade. And brick-and-mortar markets are seeing a similar rise in interest. More and more consumers want unique handmade or vintage goods that display high-quality workmanship, and offer an alternative to mass-market chain stores.
Here is an overview of the upsides and downsides of operating your own booth or table at a market, so you can weigh them and arrive at the right answer for you.
Once you pick the right fair or market for you, it's relatively easy to get your business up and running. You'll need transit for yourself and your merchandise, a table, possibly a tent for outdoor markets, a cash box and transaction software such as Square. You'll also need to pay a booth rental fee to the market's organizer. These fees vary quite a bit depending on your location. One of the most high-traffic markets in the country, Brooklyn Flea, charges $150 per day or $1,200 per month. Check your local event listings to see which markets are in your area, and then call them to compare prices for vendors.
For most crafts and flea market vendors, the point is more in the passion and enjoyment rather than the cash, but you can bring in new income through your booth or table. The amount you can expect to bring in per weekend or day depends on your location and the type of merchandise you're selling. After paying rental fees and other expenses, many flea market vendors make between $200 and $500 per day. Meanwhile, many crafts fair vendors make upwards of $1,000 per day.
If you look at the people behind many successful crafts or vintage brands, their origin stories more often than not involve selling their wares at local markets. Putting your merchandise out there gives people in your community a chance to see it, and love it. Think of it as a chance to use your booth as a barometer for the rest of the retail market. You can also test new products, perfect your goods, and ensure that what you're offering is well catered to what your customers want.
There's always the possibility that your hobby or side business could blossom into a full-time venture. It may take some time, but this path has been the origin story for many successful crafts entrepreneurs. Your booth or table gives you a chance to develop regular customers who would be willing to follow you should you decide to expand (so be sure to keep their contact information on file). Plus it's a great chance to socialize and network with visitors and other sellers, build relationships, and share ideas.
It may be fun to knit sweaters or create earrings for friends and family, but once you open the door to the outside world, you'll need to be prepared to meet the demand. There's also the matter of giving up chunks of your time manning your booth, handling the logistics (described below) and more. Before you leap in, look at your schedule and make some educated choices about whether you're able to commit the time and energy to becoming a vendor.
Knowing what to sell, and where to sell it is a skill that many entrepreneurs learn the hard way. You don't need a business degree to run a successful booth, but before you get started it's a good idea to write a business plan outlining the products you will carry, your sources of inventory, your competitive strategy (how your products differ from those of your competition) and how you plan to market your wares.
While you may not have to worry about the logistics of operating a full-time brick-and-mortar business, you still have some of the responsibilities of a business owner while you're out selling, such as knowing how to set prices, keeping steady customers coming back, and creating a system for preventing theft. There's also the matter of how to best display your wares — look to sites like Pinterest for ideas.
You'll need to ensure that you acquire any business licenses, tax identification numbers, permits, certifications and insurance that your state requires of business owners. You'll also need to pay taxes on your business, meaning that you'll have some additional work come tax time.
Ultimately, the decision to sell at a crafts fair or flea market should rest on your passion for your merchandise and desire to share it with a larger community. Operating as a vendor does take some time and effort, and may require tasks that are outside your comfort zone as a crafts expert. But if you're up for it, the journey into becoming a vendor can be very worthwhile.

What SCOTUS Nominee Neil Gorsuch Means for Employment Class/Collective Waivers
Earlier this year, the United States Supreme Court agreed to decide whether class/collective waivers in employee arbitration agreements violate an employee's right under the National Labor Relations Act to engage in concerted activity. The Supreme Court's decision in that regard will resolve a split among the federal appellate courts. As President Trump's nominee to fill Justice Scalia's vacancy on the Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch—a judge on the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals—will be at the center of the class/collective waiver decision.
The Supreme Court's current makeup of eight Justices is projected to be split on whether class/collective waivers in employment arbitration agreements infringe on employee protected activity. As the ninth Justice on the Court, to the extent he is confirmed in time to participate in the pending review, Gorsuch will likely be the swing vote on the issue.
Touted as a sharp legal mind who, like Scalia did, favors an originalism approach to Constitutional interpretation, Gorsuch is expected to be a conservative voice on the Court. As to what position employers can expect Gorsuch to take on class/collective waivers in arbitration—that remains to be seen. Gorsuch has not previously weighed in on the issue: while Federal District Courts within the Tenth Circuit have held that class/collective waivers in employment arbitration are valid and enforceable[1], the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals has not reached the question.
Still, Gorsuch's previous opinions may provide insight as to where he could come down on the debate. Gorsuch has participated in several decisions validating arbitration agreements and establishing a preference for arbitration. In a case involving agreements to arbitrate claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act, Gorsuch was part of the panel that reversed the District Court's denial of a motion to compel arbitration, following that Supreme Court's "liberal policy favoring arbitration" to hold that "all ambiguities must be resolved in favor of arbitrability."[2] Dissenting in another opinion, Gorsuch found that the parties to a commercial transaction clearly intended to arbitrate their disputes, and he could "see no way we might rescue them from their choice." [3] Gorsuch authored another opinion that again reversed the denial of a motion to compel arbitration, holding that where the parties dispute as to whether they agreed to arbitrate in the first insurance, the Federal Arbitration Act mandates the case to proceed summarily to trial on the proper venue, as opposed to "round after round of discovery and motions practice."[4] And in a concurring opinion in another case, Gorsuch questioned whether it was appropriate for courts to determine the \party's intent as to the scope of their arbitration agreement, stating, "[a]ll arbitration clauses, Congress has told us, are equally valid, irrevocable, and enforceable."[5]
Related, Gorsuch has held that administrative agencies in general have too much authority and are given too much deference, such that the agencies "swallow huge amounts of core judicial and legislative power and concentrate federal power in a way that seems more than a little difficult to square with the Constitution of the framers' design."[6] In a dissenting opinion, Gorsuch specifically faulted the National Labor Relations Board for exercising too much administrative power:
[I]in our legal order federal agencies must take care to respect the boundaries of their congressional charters. They may not treat similarly situated classes of persons differently without a rational explanation. And they may not depart from their own existing rules and precedents without a persuasive explanation…. Respectfully, I believe the NLRB's new rule fails to abide each of these settled legal principles and, in that way, seeks to make new law unlawfully.[7]
While none of these previous cases directly involves the class/collective waiver issue in the context of employment arbitration, Gorsuch's prior decisions on the validity and enforceability of arbitration agreements could indicate that he will support such waivers in employee arbitration agreements, especially if Gorsuch believes that the NLRB's decision on class/collective waivers in employment, and the decisions of those courts that agree with the NLRB, are examples of administrative agencies having too much power, and courts giving too much deference to the agencies.

There are some recommendations that will make it simpler to finish the wording. If you're looking for the great high school graduation announcement wording, look no more! In several cases it's not feasible to invite everyone you would love to attend your graduation ceremony. Graduation is a chance to promote your company, provided that you do so subtly and tastefully.
When choosing a person or company to make or design your party invitations, you are going to want to maintain a variety of important things in mind.

Once a sleepy part of town, Buckhead is now considered the ritziest neighborhood in the city of Atlanta. Complete with mansions, skyscrapers and designer stores, this area is perfect for people who enjoy the finer things in life.
Originally a mill town, this area is characterized by its colorful shotgun houses originally built for the local factory workers. Just a stone's throw away, Reynoldstown was one of the first African-American neighborhoods in Atlanta where many former slaves lived. Every year, Cabbagetown hosts the Chomp & Stomp, a popular chili festival.
This tree-lined park includes an affordable nine-hole golf course and a fun retail strip with wonderful restaurants including La Fonda, Fellini's and The Flying Biscuit Cafe. Featuring a bohemian vibe, this neighborhood also includes the Lake Claire area.
Once considered a bad neighborhood, Capitol View is quickly becoming a thriving community, thanks to the construction of the belt line as well as significant philanthropic investments.
Back in the day, Castleberry Hill was considered a bad part of town. Full of criminals and shady characters, it was formerly known as Snake Nation. Filled with warehouses, artists began converting the property into galleries and live/work spaces. Close to the Atlanta University Center, students enjoy experiencing Castleberry Hill nightlife.
Incorporated in 1847, General Sherman burned downtown Atlanta to the ground during the Civil War. However, the area was rebuilt and thrived until several interstates were constructed in the 1960s, causing people to move to the suburbs. In downtown Atlanta, you'll find a modern streetcar as well as the Georgia State University campus.
Today, many people flock to the various bars, music venues and restaurants in East Atlanta. However, the surrounding area is rather quiet and attracts many young families.
Conveniently close to public transportation, you can live in Edgewood without having to drive as much. Considered an Atlanta streetcar suburb, many lived in the single-family homes and commuted to downtown via public transportation during the 1920s to 1940s.
Home to a 131-acre park and Zoo Atlanta, Grant Park attracts many young families wishing to raise their children within the city limits. Lined with sprawling Victorian homes and bungalows, the architecture is quite breathtaking.
The first streetcar suburb was located in Inman Park, which was developed in the 1880s. Housing many Atlanta elite, you can find an impressive array of Victorian mansions along Euclid Avenue. However, the area deteriorated in the 1950s and 1960s before the Inman Park Neighborhood Association brought it back to life.
Little Five Points was once home to an enclave of hippies and counterculture bohemians. With a thriving nightlife, locals enjoy attending shows at the theaters and clubs in the area.
Another original streetcar suburb, Kirkwood attracts many young families who enjoy raising their children in an urban setting. Here, families can walk to the many local restaurants and small businesses lining Hosea Williams Drive.
Home to Atlanta's beautiful Piedmont Park, this neighborhood features many beautiful older homes built after 1895. With a thriving business district and nightlife, Midtown is incredibly popular with Atlanta's LGBTQ population. Midtown continues to grow with high rise buildings and condos while the area surrounding Piedmont Park holds on to its historic charm.
The most famous resident of the Old Fourth Ward was Martin Luther King, Jr, who served as the reverend in the Ebenezer Baptist Church. In recent years, the construction of Beltline and the Ponce City Market has attracted many new residents and tourists as well. Currently, the Ponce City Market also houses Mailchimp's Atlanta headquarters.
Home to the Carter Center, the Poncey Highlands is a great neighborhood for young professionals, where many local establishments in nearby Virginia Highlands, Little Five Points and Inman Park are all within walking distance.
When Atlanta built a streetcar system in the late 1800s, Eastern Europeans set up camp in the Virginia Highlands. Featuring a variety of boutiques, salons, restaurants and bars, Virginia Highlands houses a bustling nightlife that attracts near Emory University students. With great public schools, the area also attracts families as well.
Both Westview and Adair Park are located in this beautiful urban neighborhood filled with Victorian homes. Located along the southwest section of the Beltline, this neighborhood continues to grow in popularity.
Once strictly an industrial district, the West Side attracts many young professionals with its boutiques, restaurants, breweries, apartments and condos. Home to the King Plow Art Center as well as The Goat Farm, this area attracts many creative types as well as Georgia Tech students.
NEARBY NEIGHBORHOODS (ITP)
Although these areas aren't technically a part of Atlanta, they still retain a somewhat urban feel and are all located inside the perimeter of Interstate 285.
Located just a stone's throw away from Buckhead, this residential area is home to Oglethorpe University. Many families move to Brookhaven because of its suburban feel and closeness to the city.
College Park/Hapeville/East Point
If you travel frequently, you may enjoy the convenience of Hapeville, East Point and College Park to the Hartsfield International Airport. Featuring the 27-acre Porsche headquarters, this area attracts a high volume of business.
Known for its superior school district and downtown area, families flock to this city located just outside of the city of Atlanta. Featuring a variety of restaurants, bars and music venues, Decatur is just as adult-friendly as it is kid-friendly.


What Is Causing Mold To Develop On The Roof?
Mold is a problem that can develop both in your home and also on the exterior. The roof is particularly vulnerable to mold. Even though the mold is on the roof, it can still have an effect on you and your family. If your roof has mold, here is what you need to know.
Your roof is exposed to a lot of moisture. Humidity, rain, and snow can weave their way under the shingles of your roof and lead to mold development. The mold is not just confined to the roof. It can spread throughout your attic and affect any items that you are storing in the space.
Mold on the roof is usually not spotted right away because of its location. Therefore, it is important to do monthly checks for mold. Your check should not be limited to just your roof, but also the attic. Once moisture enters those spaces, it can take just a couple of days before the mold starts to develop.
Another possible culprit of mold in the roof is missing or incorrectly installed insulation. If you install the wrong insulation, it can trap moisture and help to accelerate the growth of mold.
Poor attic ventilation could also be at fault. As heat rises in your home, it gets trapped in the attic. If you have proper ventilation, the heated air will be expelled from the space. If you do not, the heat will build up and the area will become moist, which is a feeding ground for mold.
If you notice mold on the roof or in the attic, you need to find the source of it first. Start by checking your roof for a leak. If there is a leak, it will need to be repaired immediately to keep moisture from entering your attic.
You also need to assess the ventilation in the attic. If you are unsure whether or not you have sufficient ventilation, now is the time to call a roofing contractor. He or she can evaluate the current venting system to determine if additional vents need to be added.
Once you have identified the source, you need to clean the mold. You can choose to hire a professional mold remediation service or do it yourself. If you are doing the work, take proper safety precautions, such as wearing a protective mask, while cleaning the mold. Remember to disinfect the affected areas after removing the mold. You should also talk with a roofing contractor like Emmons Roofing & Siding LLC for more advice.

In 1940 the Martha's Vineyard Hebrew was born and incorporated by some fifty people; there were only ten last names among the fifty..
The Lithuanian town from which Samuel Cronig departed may have been cluttered but New York was a teeming jungle; it was not for him. So, two years after arriving in America, he left for New Bedford. He had heard that in this relatively small town life was, if not easier, at least far less harried. And there were some Jews in New Bedford to whom Samuel could - might claim kinship.
Times were hard and work was scarce in the years following the Panic of 1907, in New Bedford as in the rest of America.. Samuel needed a more secure job than was available in New Bedford. He laboriously checked the classifieds in the New Bedford Standard and saw an ad offering work on the Daggett Farm on Martha's Vineyard. He rushed over. He had never done farm work but what had that to do with a strong, young man - late of a Lithuanian yeshivah?
He worked hard and spent little. Carefully, he put aside the bulk of his money. Like almost every new Jewish immigrant to America, Samuel's responsibility was to those he left in the old country. His first savings were not to better himself, not to go into business, but to bring family out of Russia and to America. Within five years of his arrival he was joined by four siblings.
We record Samuel Cronig's history, not because his story is unique, nor because he was the first Jew to arrive on Martha's Vineyard, but because his story is the story of so many of our parents and grandparents. It parallels the history of other early Jewish settlers on Martha's Vineyard and of generations of off-Island Jews. Samuel Cronig arrived on the Island in 1911.
of the American Jewish Faith"
Two years later the Judel Brickman family - soon enlarged by four children arrived from Sweden, a way-stop on their journey westward. The first incorporators of the Hebrew Center carry the names of the families that came here in the first two decades: In addition to Cronig and Brickman, they were: Butler, Hall, Issokson, Kligler, Levinson, Miller, Osman, Pearlstein.
That so many of these names still grace the membership rolls of the Center, and are familiar to all Islanders, is a tribute to the dedication and tenacity of the Vineyard's Jewish community.
Most of the early Jewish residents of the Island carried on the Jewish observances they had been taught as children. Kosher meat was imported from New Bedford. Holidays were celebrated, either on the Island or with relatives on the mainland. But they were soon too numerous for such haphazard arrangements. Not everyone could have a family celebration, not everyone could leave the Island to celebrate with relatives. So they met regularly in each others homes for religious observances and the attendant social functions.
But even on the Vineyard, where large home gatherings were the rule, there were no (Jewish) homes large enough to contain the growing Jewish population. Maybe for Rosh Hashanah, but Yom Kippur? And Pesach was another problem.
New Bedford for weekly instruction of the children in the tradition.
Still the community kept growing; too large for the informal arrangements that (almost) met the needs of the smaller community. That was one stimulus to the organization of this Center. There was another, more subtle but equally pressing.
In spite of the growing acceptance - sometimes strong friendships - between individual Jewish and Christian Islanders, the Jews as a faith community, as a people and a religion, were not accepted - certainly not as social equals. Members of the Center still on our rolls, who were school children then, remember the social ostracism, the name-calling, the catcalls, they endured because they were Jewish.
Thus Vineyard Jews of that period lived a sometimes lonely existence. It was complicated by the isolation inherent in island life. They couldn't easily drive to larger towns with larger Jewish populations. The Island Jews had to depend on their own resources. There was great need for a formal gathering center.
There was continuing (some say constant) talk, planning, drive, to form a center that would truly fill community's needs. It began in 1937 with, naturally, a drive to raise funds for the planned center.
The community was willing, the community was small and the members had a Jewish pride (not unlike their non-Jewish Island neighbors) that said, we will not ask help from off-Island; we will do it ourselves. It was going to be a long haul.
In 1939, Henry Cronig found a solution. He knew of a large colonial home that was for sale - if the buyer would move it quickly. Henry bought it immediately, and turned it over to the Jewish community at cost. Since a building could not be owned by something as amorphous as a "community", some formal entity was needed. So the Martha's Vineyard Hebrew Center, Inc., three years in gestation, was born and incorporated by some fifty people; there were only ten last names among the fifty..
A lot was quickly found on Centre Street (most appropriately named) and the house was moved to it. It was remodeled into sanctuary, meeting hall and school room. It was completed and dedicated on July 28, 1940. That historic building was moved to an adjoining site in 1995 (and is now a home for a Center family). In its place we built a new congregational home suitable for our future.
Truly, then and now, it fulfills the ancient requirements of the synagogue; it is Beth ha Midrash, a house of instruction; Beth ha Tfillah, a house of prayer; Beth ha Knesset, a house of assembly.
This, then, is our heritage.
The ten families listed as signatories on the incorporation papers have grown to approximately 350. Whether our names are among those listed as members in 1940, or barely dry on today's membership list, all that went before is part of our heritage. We are part of all the struggles and the joys that went into building this place. We share in its past and ours is the vision of its future.


"A caravan!" whistled the Comfortable Camel, lurching to his feet. "How nice!"
"I doubt that!" The dromedary's eyes flew open, and he stared sleepily at the magnificent procession of Silver Islanders.
First came the musicians, playing their shining silver trumpets and flutes. The Grand Chew Chew and General Mugwump followed, attired in brilliant silk robes of state. Then came the three Princes, glittering with jeweled chains and medals, and the fifteen little Princes, like so many silver butterflies in their satin kimonas. Next appeared a palanquin bearing the veiled Princess Orange Blossom, followed by a whole company of splendid courtiers and after them as many of the everyday Silver Islanders as the hall would hold. There was a moment of silence. Then the whole assemblage, contrary to the Scarecrow's edict, fell upon their faces.
"My!" exclaimed Dorothy, impressed in spite of herself. "Are you sure you want to give up all this?"
"Great Emperor, beautiful as the sun, wise as the stars, and radiant as the clouds, the Ceremony of Restoration is about to begin!" quavered the Grand Chew Chew, rising slowly. Then he paused, for he was suddenly confused by the strange company around the Scarecrow's throne.
"Treachery!" hissed the eldest Prince to the others. "We left him tied to the bean pole. Ancient Papa Scarecrow needs watching! Who are these curious objects he has gathered about him, pray?"
Now by some magic which even I cannot explain, the people from Oz found they could understand all that was being said. When Dorothy heard herself called an object and saw the wicked faces of the three Princes and the stupid little grandsons, she no longer wondered at the Scarecrow's decision.
The Scarecrow himself bowed calmly. "First," said he cheerfully, "let me introduce my friends and visitors from Oz."
The Silver Islanders, who really loved the Scarecrow, bowed politely as he called out the names of Dorothy and the others. But the three Silver Princes scowled and whispered indignantly among themselves.
"I am growing very wroth!" choked Sir Hokus to the Cowardly Lion.
"Let the ceremony proceed!" called the eldest Prince harshly, before the Scarecrow had finished his introductions. "Let the proper body of his Serene Highness be immediately restored. Way for the Grand Gheewizard! Way for the Grand Gheewizard!"
"One moment," put in the Scarecrow in a dignified voice. "I have something to say." The Silver Islanders clapped loudly at this, and Dorothy felt a bit reassured. Perhaps they would listen to reason after all and let the Scarecrow depart peacefully. How they were ever to escape if they didn't, the little girl could not see.
"My dear children," began the Scarecrow in his jolly voice, "nothing could have been more wonderful than my return to this lovely island, but in the years I have been away from you I have changed very much, and I find I no longer care for being Emperor. So with your kind permission, I will keep the excellent body I now have and will abdicate in favor of my eldest son and return with my friends to Oz. For in Oz I really belong."
A dead silence followed the Scarecrow's speech -- then perfect pandemonium.
"No! No! You are a good Emperor! We will not let you go!" shrieked the people. "You are our honorable little Father. The Prince shall be Emperor after you have peacefully returned to your ancestors, but not now. No! No! We will not have it!"
"I feared this!" quavered Happy Toko.
"It is not the Emperor, but the Scarecrow who speaks!" shrilled the Grand Chew Chew craftily. "He knows not what he says. But after the transformation -- Ah, you shall see!"
The company calmed down at this. "Let the ceremony proceed! Way for the Grand Gheewizard!" they cried exultantly.
"Chew Chew," wailed the Scarecrow, "you're off the track!" But it was too late. No one would listen.
"I'll have to think of something else," muttered the Scarecrow, sinking dejectedly back on his throne.
"Oh!" shuddered Dorothy, clutching the Scarecrow, "Here he comes!"
"Way for the Grand Gheewizard! Way for the Grand Gheewizard!"
The crowd parted. Hobbling toward the throne came the ugly little Gheewizard of the Silver Island holding a large silver vase high above his head, and after him --!
When Sir Hokus caught a glimpse of what came after, he leaped clean over the Comfortable Camel.
"Uds daggers!" roared the Knight. "At last!" He rushed forward violently. There was a sharp thrust of his good sword, then an explosion like twenty giant firecrackers in one, and the room became quite black with smoke. Before anyone realized what had happened, Sir Hokus was back, dragging something after him and shouting exuberantly, "A dragon! I have slain a dragon! What happiness!"
Everyone was coughing and spluttering from the smoke, but as it cleared Dorothy saw that it was indeed a dragon Sir Hokus had slain, the rheumatic dragon of the old Gheewizard himself.
"Why didn't you get the wizard?" rumbled the Cowardly Lion angrily.
"Must have exploded," said the Comfortable Camel, sniffing the skin daintily.
"Treason!" yelled the three Princes, while the Grand Gheewizard flung himself on the stone floor and began tearing strand after strand from his silver pigtail.
"He has killed the little joy of my hearth!" screeched the old man. "I will turn him to a cat, a miserable yellow cat, and roast him for dinner!"
"Oh!" cried Dorothy, looking at Sir Hokus sorrowfully. "How could you?"
The slaying of the dragon had thrown the whole hall into utmost confusion. Sir Hokus turned a little pale under his armor, but faced the angry mob without flinching.
"Oh, my dear Karwan Bashi, this is so uncomfortable!" wheezed the camel, glancing back of him with frightened eyes.
"There's a shiny dagger in my left-hand saddlesack. I doubt very much whether they would like it," coughed the Doubtful Dromedary, pressing close to the Knight.
"On with the ceremony!" cried the eldest Prince, seeing that the excitement was giving the Scarecrow's friends too much time to think. "The son of an iron pot shall be punished later!"
"That's right!" cried a voice from the crowd. "Let the Emperor be restored!"
"I guess it's all over," gulped the Scarecrow. "Give my love to Ozma and tell her I tried to come back."
In helpless terror, the little company watched the Gheewizard approach. One could fight real enemies, but magic! Even Sir Hokus, brave as he was, felt that nothing could be done.
"One move and you shall be so many prunes," shrilled the angry old man, fixing the people from Oz with his wicked little eyes. The great room was so still you could have heard a pin drop. Even the Doubtful Dromedary had not the heart to doubt the wizard's power, but stood rigid as a statue.
The wizard advanced slowly, holding the sealed vase carefully over his head. The poor Scarecrow regarded it with gloomy fascination. One more moment and he would be an old, old Silverman. Better to be lost forever! He held convulsively to Dorothy.
As for Dorothy herself, she was trembling with fright and grief. When the Grand Gheewizard raised the vase higher and higher and made ready to hurl it at the Scarecrow, disregarding his dire threat she gave a shrill scream and threw up both hands.
"Great grandmothers!" gasped the Scarecrow, jumping to his feet. As Dorothy had thrown up her arms, the little parasol swinging at her wrist had jerked open. Up, up, up, and out through the broken skylight in the roof sailed the little Princess of Oz!
The Grand Gheewizard, startled as anyone, failed to throw the vase. Every neck was craned upward, and everyone was gasping with astonishment.
The oldest Prince, as usual, was the first to recover. "Don't stand staring like an idiot! Now's your chance!" he hissed angrily in the Gheewizard's ear.
"I didn't come here to be harried and hurried by foreigners," sobbed the little man. "How is one to work magic when interrupted every other minute? I want my little dragon."
"Oh, come on now, just throw it. I'll get you another dragon," begged the Prince, his hands trembling with excitement.
In the face of this new disaster, the Scarecrow had forgotten all about the Gheewizard. He and the Cowardly Lion and Sir Hokus were running distractedly around the great throne trying to think up a way to rescue Dorothy. As for the Doubtful Dromedary, he was doubting everything in a loud, bitter voice, while the Comfortable Camel fairly snorted with sorrow.
"There! Now's your chance," whispered the Prince. The Scarecrow, with his back to the crowd, was gesturing frantically.
Taking a firm hold on the neck of the vase and with a long incantation which there is no use at all in repeating, the Gheewizard flung the bottle straight at the Scarecrow's head. But scarcely had it left his hand before there was a flash and a flutter and down came Dorothy and the magic parasol right on top of the vase.
Zip! The vase flew in quite another direction, and next minute had burst over the luckless heads of the three plotting Princes, while Dorothy floated gently to earth.
Sir Hokus embraced the Scarecrow, and the Scarecrow hugged the Cowardly Lion, and I don't wonder at all. For no sooner had the magic elixir touched the Princes, than two of them became silver pigs and the eldest a weasel. They had been turned to their true shapes instead of the Scarecrow. And while the company hopped about in alarm, they ran squealing from the hall and disappeared in the gardens.
"Seize the Gheewizard and take him to his cave," ordered the Scarecrow, asserting his authority for the first time since the proceedings has started. He had noticed the old man making queer signs and passes toward Sir Hokus. A dozen took hold of the struggling Gheewizard and hurried him out of the hall.
Sir Hokus, at the request of the Scarecrow, clapped his iron gauntlets for silence.
"You will agree with me, I'm sure," said the Scarecrow in a slightly unsteady voice, "that magic is a serious matter to meddle with. If you will all return quietly to your homes, I will try to find a way out of our difficulties."
The Silver Islanders listened respectfully and after a little arguing among themselves backed out of the throne room. To tell the truth, they were anxious to spread abroad the tale of the morning's happenings.
Princess Orange Blossom, however, refused to depart. Magic or no magic, she had come to marry the Emperor, and she would not leave till the ceremony had been performed.
"But my dear old Lady, would you wish to marry a Scarecrow?" coaxed the Emperor.
"All men are Scarecrows," snapped the Princess sourly.
"Then why marry at all?" rumbled the Cowardly Lion, making a playful leap at her palanquin. This was too much. The Princess swooned on the spot, and the Scarecrow, taking advantage of her unconscious condition, ordered her chair bearers to carry her away as far and as fast as they could run.
"Now," said the Scarecrow when the last of the company had disappeared, "let us talk this over."

Q: Subwoofer Logitech Z333 not working I got a new Logitech Z333 and the left/right speakers work fine. However, there is no sound coming out of the subwoofer at all. Its volume is turned to max, so that's not it.
Running pavucontrol shows in the section Output Devices that I have left speaker, right speaker, and a subwoofer all set at 100% volume. The Playback section shows volume only for the left and right speakers which might be part of the problem.
ALSA info, in case that helps.
Any suggestions?

· No, typically service is about what you pay for dining out at a mid level restaurant. Think about it, the time & gas spent going to a restaurant, the cost of the meal, time & gas to get home. What price would you pay to have a little more free time and a little less stress?
· Typical service is weekly or biweekly, we also do monthly service. Frequency of service is determined by how quickly you consume your meals or how often you prefer service.
What if I am not home during the time of my service?
· It is not necessary to be home for cook day. An arrangement can be made to prepare the meals while you are out just like a housekeeper. All aspects of a client and clients household are kept private and confidential and a one time statement to that is signed to that effect. Personal also means Private.
I am diabetic can a Personal Chef work for me?


The Passenger Pigeon was also commonly known in North America as the "Wild Pigeon," the Ectopistes migratorius of ornithology, the bird so famous in former days for its multitude. By the mid to late 1800s it was, and still occasionally to be found plentifully in some parts of Canada and the United States, though no longer appearing in the countless numbers that it did of old, when a flock seen by Wilson was estimated to consist of more than 2230million. Descriptions given by him and Audubon of Pigeon-haunts in the then "back-woods" of Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana were often quoted. Wilson's estimate of 2230 million birds in that one particular individual flock was declared by Waterton to be a gross exaggeration if not an entire fabrication; but the critic would certainly have changed his tone had he known that, some hundred and fifty years earlier, Wild Pigeons so swarmed and ravaged the colonists' crops near Montreal that a bishop of his own Church was constrained to exorcise them with holy water as if they had been demons ("Voyages du Baron de la Hontan dans l'Amerique septentrionale", ed. 2, Amsterdam: 1705, volume i. pages. 93, 94. In the first edition, published at The Hague in 1703, the passage, less explicit in details but to the same effect, is at p. 80. The author's letter, describing the circumstance, is dated May 1687).
The rapid and sustained flight of these Pigeons was also as well-established as their former overwhelming abundance - birds having been killed in the State of New York whose crops contained undigested grains of rice that must have been not long before plucked and swallowed in South Carolina or Georgia.
The Passenger-Pigeon was about the size of a common Turtle-Dove, but with a long, wedge-shaped tail. The male was of a dark slate-colour above, and purplish-bay beneath, the sides of the neck being enlivened by gleaming violet, green and gold. The female was drab-coloured above and dull white beneath, with only a slight trace of the brilliant neck-markings. There are several records of the occurrence in the UK of this Pigeon, but in most cases the birds noticed probably did not find their own way to British shores but may have travelled aboard ships, unknown to their human chaperones. One, which was shot in Fife in 1825, may, however, have crossed the Atlantic unassisted by man.
The true total population of Passenger Pigeons in the world is estimated to have been around 4 billion. Within a period of around 50 years up to the late 1890s, wild passenger pigeons had been hunted to extinction, and only birds kept in captivity remained. This mass destruction equates to around 250,000 birds killed each day in that period. The very last Passenger Pigeon to have fluttered on the earth was a bird called Martha who died at the age of 29 years old in the early afternoon of 1st September 1914 at the Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio, USA. Martha's body was stuffed and mounted for preservation, and is currently (as at February 2008 when this page was last updated) kept by the Smithsonian Institute. Sadly, these days all that are left for us to see of the Passenger Pigeon are a few stuffed examples similar to Martha.


Due to unfortunate circumstances of late, the Prodota Gaming organization is dropping the Dota 2 roster effective immediately.
Internal issues revolving around the organization and the players, as well as inter-team dynamics have been simmering over the last few weeks, coming to a boiling point only now. We will be bidding farewell Milan "Milan" Kozomara, Neta "33" Shapira, Greg "Keyser" Kallianiotis, and Alexei "j4" Lipai – the four most recent additions that joined the team in April this year.
The timing of this is very unfortunate as we were hopeful to see an invite into the TI7 regional qualifiers and of course progress even further. As one can imagine, this was not an easy decision then, but one that was made after much consideration of many factors.
Ylli "Garter" Ramadani has chosen to remain as part of the organization. We have hopes that a he will be able to rebuild a new roster in time for the TI7 open qualifiers and have higher hopes that he will still be able to don the Prodota Gaming banner in the regional qualifiers and perhaps even further.
We wish our former players best of luck in their careers and as they also move through the TI7 open qualifiers.
The new season for Dota 2 has just begun with the conclusion of the Kiev Major last week. Our boys are headed out to partake in some intensive training and team bonding to start off the road to TI7. Tucked away in the idyllic hills of Istanbul, Turkey at the former Team Secret team house, we will be working hard and steadfast to reach our goals.
Over the next 11 days, the team will be participating in several qualifiers and working on team dynamics and skills. They will be joined by former assistant coach of the San Francisco 49ers – Taylor Johnson to help the players reach their optimal performances!
Stay tuned to social media for updates on results and many pictures!
In efforts to reach our goal we set earlier this year – to reach TI7, we realized that major revisions would be necessary to move forward. The first of the steps was to change the culture and leadership of the team, to align more closely with our multi national communication. With that, we would like to welcome on board former MVP manager Felix "Jeef" Jedelhauser that saw two of the MVP Korean organization's squads head to TI5 and MVP.Phoenix to TI6. Jeef also has extensive experience working with various athletes from around the world and in coordination with Red Bull Sports.
We are confident that his experience and leadership will fit nicely with our the guidance of the former NFL San Francisco 49ers strength and conditioning coach Taylor "Architect" Johnson we brought on board last month.
The second order of business was to secure a lineup that would be fully stable and commit 100% to the organization and goals we have set. In order to achieve that, we have rebuilt the roster around our longterm carry player and captain Ylli "Garter" Ramadani. We have acquired the players of NoLogicGaming effective immediately. Starting today, we would like to officially welcome: Milan "MiLAN" Kozomara, Alexei "j4" Lipai, Neta "33" Shapira and Greg "Keyser" Kallianiotis.
Keyser is expected to grow into show stopper in the mid lane. He was part of the all Greek lineup of London Conspiracy and then Golden Boys before turning to an international lineup.
You can catch the team's debut under the Prodota Gaming banner tonight in the playoffs for SLTV Pro Series 18 against PENTA sports and again tomorrow night in PDCup 17 also against PENTA.
We also have quite a few surprises in store and in the works, so stay tuned to watch our progress!
This week alone, we have been invited to participate in D2CL season 11 and in the new OverPower Cup.
D2CL will be gearing up to kick off March 20th. We will be playing alongside teams such as Team Spirit, Vega Squadron, and Elements Pro Gaming. $5,000 prize pool is on the line and we're hungry to success.
The new OverPower Cup is a fully invitational only event featuring Cloud 9, Ninjas in Pyjamas Team Empire, Team Spirit and more. This single elimination tournament is sure to be exciting as we aim to take control of the brackets.
Our first matchup in OverPower Cup will be March 17th at 20:30 CET against NiP!
As always keep all eyes on our social media for matchup times and stream info!
We secured our place in the Kiev Major EU Regional Qualifiers after a flawless journey through the first set of open qualifiers. Without dropping a single match, the team survived the brutal best-of-one brackets before cruising through the playoff phase. After taking two convincing wins off of the Egyptian team Slice n' Dice, we headed into the Grand Finals to meet Going In.
In both games the boys staged thrilling comebacks.
For the first one, they pulled a victory out with a 10k gold deficit in a hearstopping base race. In the second match, the team turned things around with an amazing fight at the Rosh Pit, and paired with their relentless split pushing and never give up attitude they seized another win as fans watched with baited breath. Each of our players showed amazing resilience and determination that we are proud of.
Now its time to prepare for the daunting task of the regional qualifiers against some of our best peers and teams.
For the remainder of the season and heading into the next one, the squad will be teaming up with NFL San Francisco 49ers strength and conditioning assistant coach – Taylor "Architect" Johnson.
In addition, the team has also recruited the help of an analyst to provide an initial consultation to enhance coordination and strategic planning.
Architect has focused on nutrition, strength and conditioning, and recovery for the past 10 years. His overall goal is to help individuals reach their true potential and ideal lifestyles.
Experience as a S&C (strength and conditioning) and Nutrition Coach has reached all levels ranging from NFL, MLB, Pac-12, SEC, and Mountain West collegiate teams, professional fighters, law enforcement/military, fire fighters, weekend warriors, CEO's, and casual fitness enthusiasts.
He most recently was an Assistant S&C and Nutrition Coach for the San Francisco 49ers for two seasons and is now using his skill set to help professional gamers optimize their training.
The analyst is serving on an initial consultation basis for the first week only to provide insight and coordination with Taylor to develop a blueprint and goals based on extensive review and observation of the team's Dota specific strengths and weakness.
Undergoing another roster change recently, the squad has been thrust into the depths of the brutal Kiev Major Open Qualifiers starting on Monday, March 6th.
The hope is that the resources and services will impact performance and lead to dramatic improvements over the course of the next season.
On March 6th, the team will begin their journey towards the regional qualifiers – battling it out in the brutal best-of-one-elimination brackets.
While we have seen some struggles in the last few weeks, we are feeling confident as we move forward with our new roster.
We are pleased to announce the return of our support player – Alexandru "ComeWithMe" Craciunescu! Alex played with us last season, including for the Boston Major Open and Regional qualifiers. His experience, skill and game knowledge will once again help bring us strong performances.
Next in line, we welcome a new mid player to the roster – Micke "miCKe" Nguyen. The former professional Swedish Heroes of Newerth player has a long history with our other support player iNsania.
Catch our new roster in action in StarLadder Pro League Season 18 Phase II starting tomorrow!
Invited to play in the Omen Cup, our boys pushed through the first series with a 2:1 defeat over Meow111.
Continuing on a winning streak, we toppled over Hala Ares 2:0 and advanced into the semi finals.
It was there, Prodota Gaming faced LQ – a mix of known players including Funn1k, Scandal, Sunlight, BlowYourBrain and sQreen. In a triumphant victory 2:1, the team moved into the finals.
Our first match against Cloud 9 was a beautifully executed performance, knocking the infamous Danish squad down one match. We fought hard in the next two matches, but were unable to surmount Cloud 9's synergy and teamplay of over one year playing together as a team.
Our second place position is an exciting glimpse into our future. After only several weeks together, the team is coming into their own place and finding their groove.
We are quite proud of our first run and look forward to more success soon – in fact, we are in the semi finals of PDCup 14, which continues this week!

Tweet This is written for Write Anything's [Fiction] Friday Challenge #198 - Set your story in the 1880s, in a mid west, tumbleweed town. The doors of the bar open, the piano stops playing and all eyes are drawn to the figure in the doorway…… Now keep going.
I walk along the street, my ornamental spurs jangling at my heels. I do not use them for riding, as I do not believe in the mistreatment of animals. I have suffered more than enough at the hands of human cruelty myself over the years. I shan't put a beast through the same.
Yonder lies the tavern, looming from the darkness like a blessed port in a storm. Yet I must not call it a tavern in these parts. I must remember to refer to it as a saloon. It would not do for the local populace to realise I am not from the area, although I am sure that one look at me will tell them that all the same. I would not imagine that these people will have seen many men covered in so many tattoos that their skin glows a luminescent blue. Indeed, I daresay few people in this entire country have seen such a man. Why else would they flock to see the Painted Man in a travelling show?
Our wrangler approves of my visit to the town. In polite company, he calls himself our manager, but away from the crowds, he treats us as cattle. Mr Virgil Soames is far from genteel. He calls our small fair a medicine show, yet he refers to us as freaks. We are used to his mindless chatter and pay him little mind.
He has sent me into town to drum up business for the show. The conjoined twins loiter elsewhere, papering the walls with handbills. The bearded lady will pay a visit to the barber in the morning. We hope that the townsfolk will be fascinated or appalled – either way, they will pay their pittance to gawp and we shall afford to eat until the next town. It is a wretched way to earn a living, but for folk such as ourselves, we have little else to recommend us, save our difference.
I push open the swing door. The pianist stops hammering out his tune. A bartender stands behind the bar, his mouth hanging open. Each of the patrons stops and turns. Every eye in the room is upon me, and I feel as though I might buckle and fall beneath the weight of their stares. I face this claustrophobia on a nightly basis, yet I suffer all the same for it.
"Hey fella, you ain't welcome here," calls a man. He stands near the bar, swaying from side to side. He peers at me through a drunken haze.
"Relax, friends. I mean no harm," I reply.
"You, er, you sure do look a little, er, different, fella," says the bartender.
"He's bluer'n a pecker in a snowstorm!" cries the pianist. A ripple of laughter circuits the saloon. I shift inside my jacket.
"I mean only to tell you fine folk that the Virgil Soames Medicine Show has arrived in town," I tell them.
I walk across to the wall opposite the door, and paste a handbill to a wooden beam. Virgil's face beams at me in sepia ink.
"You one of them circus freak types then?" asks the bartender. He stares at the handbill.
"I could scarcely be a county marshall with an appearance like this," I reply.
The saloon's patrons laugh again. My discomfort lessens; they are laughing with me, not at me. The pianist scowls at me. He raises one arm and points across the saloon. A young woman sits in the shadows at the back. Alarm spreads across her face and she shuffles in her seat.
"You should take her, she can join your band of freaks," shouts the pianist.
I walk across the saloon to where the young woman quakes. I smile down at her, and she offers me the tiny ghost of a smile in return. I hold out my hand to her. She gingerly places her small hand in mine, her skin so normal in a sea of blue. She looks down at my fingers, and notices the tiny painted fauns that frolic in the forest around my thumb. She gasps with delight.
"On what grounds would you have such a delightful creature admitted to a medicine show?" I ask.
"She's the daughter of a witch. Stands to reason she's evil too," says the drunk.
I turn back to the young woman. She stares at the floor, and I feel her hand trembling in mine. She is terrified of these people. I know that kind of terror, and empathy plucks a melody on my heart strings. I lean in close to her ear.
"My dear, you're clearly no freak, but my employer could use an assistant. Would you care to join our motley crew of artists?" I ask in hushed tones.
Her other hand skates across her belly as her eyes dart between me and the townsfolk. If I'm not much mistaken, I am on the verge of hiring two new people for our travelling show. She nods at me.
"Ladies and gentleman! I am proud to announce an addition to our show!" I roar, turning to face the patrons with a flourish. I hold the young woman's hand aloft. The townsfolk cheer, thinking their young woman is leaving to become a freak. She gives a nervous smile, and allows me to lead her to the door.
I reach into my pocket and draw out a knife. I flick it with practiced ease, and it sails across the room. The blade hits the beam with a thud, and it holds the handbill in place. The townsfolk gasp, staring at the knife in stunned silence. I leave the saloon with my new friend, confident that we shall do a roaring trade in this town.
Tweet Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West was first published in 1985. As Cormac McCarthy's fifth book, it comes well before his more famous works, No Country for Old Men and The Road (both adapted for the screen in recent years). The book is a fictional account based upon both true events and a memoir - Samuel Chamberlain's book, My Confession: The Recollections of a Rogue, detailing his time with the notorious Glanton gang.
Blood Meridian follows the exploits of a teenaged runaway from Tennessee who finds himself caught up in the Indian massacres along the Texas-Mexico border in 1849. We know him only as "the kid", and through him we are introduced to the rest of the Glanton gang. Real life figure John Joel Glanton, born in 1819, led his band of scalp hunters through senseless violence in the borderlands at a time when the price for Indian scalps was high. Unfortunately, Glanton seemed disinclined to restrict his butchery to Indians, with seemingly anyone he encountered falling prey to his murderous intent. McCarthy details with almost fiendish delight their depraved excesses as they traverse the unforgiving landscape in which they find themselves.
Blood Meridian has been hailed as "epic", and one of the finest novels of the 20th century, but I have to say...I can't exactly see why. The seemingly endless passages of description descend into repetition, and McCarthy's refusal to use quotation marks means trying to follow dialogue becomes a real chore - a task made even more difficult since few of the characters exist as anything more that caricatures or brief sketches, so their words can't be identified through their "voice". Indeed, it's nigh-on impossible to warm to any of the characters, particularly the blank kid. McCarthy sets up the insane Judge Holden as the primary antagonist, and while his lengthy diatribes provide an intellectual counterpoint to the mindless violence of the gang, eventually they become a parody of themselves and the comparison collapses inward.
I have no doubt that McCarthy included these repetitive exploits to highlight the senseless nature of the gang's behaviour, and to underscore the life of depravity thrust upon the kid after his own fruitless wanderings. I am sure there will be many who may say "Yes, it does go on a bit in places, and he does sometimes seem too fond of his own 'voice' when he's describing something, but that is the point!" Sorry, I'm unconvinced.
That said, for some reason it becomes a real page turner. The overly florid language, which I fully believe would not suffer from the occasional insertion of punctuation, leads into a flow of sorts, and his descriptions of the landscape often verge on sheer brilliance. Many of his metaphors fall flat, but when he nails them, he perfectly evokes mood and setting. It does subvert the expectations of a Western, and the extent of his research oozes from every page - this is not a writer who feels compelled to give his work a Hollywood sheen, and he revels in the harsh reality of it all. I'd even go so far as to say that I was really enjoying it, despite its flaws, right up until the end. Or should I say, the "non-end". For a book that smouldered and burned with the inflamed sense of indignation at such unnecessary atrocities, it simply fizzled out in the last few pages.

Ahead of the visit to West Brom on Saturday, to mark this year's Gentry Day, we've plenty in store.
Midfielder Alan Browne looks forward to the occasion as North End look to bounce back from recent results.
Having captained the side since his return from injury against both Sheffield United and Leeds United, the Irishman is now hopeful the squad can push on heading into the final five games of the season.
Manager Alex Neil also gives his reaction to Tuesday night's game, ahead of the trip to the Hawthorns.
Former strike duo Jon Parkin and Chris Brown also check in with us to share the players' perspective of Gentry Day.
With knowledge of what it takes to gate-crash the top six, having done so back in 2009, they reflect on their time at Deepdale heading into the run-in giving an opinion on how far the current crop at Deepdale can go.
We take a look at Saturday's opposition as Matt Clayton gives us the low-down on West Brom ahead of the 100th league meeting between two of the Football League's Founder Members.
There's all that, plus the latest instalment of Star Six too. Having scored on the very first Gentry Day at Loftus Road back in February 2005 Chris Lucketti talks us through the best players he played with at North End.
Reflecting on the importance of Gentry Day to the supporters, Lucketti speaks about the bond the day created with that group of players, before going on to reminisce over those he shared the pitch with at Deepdale.

Not much of note has been going on around here, other than the weather getting chillier and wetter. I had last Thursday and Friday off, so I spent a lot of time putting a bunch of things from my fall harvest together into a meal to bring to work on Saturday for a mini-potluck. I made bean tamales, butternut squash empanadas, colcannon, and persimmon crisp. It all went over well.
Rei is quite the little mischief-maker in the yard. He apparently feels that anything within reach is fair game to be a chew toy--including, as I discovered, a bunch of cables that were attached to the exterior of the house. O_O He chewed one of them completely through...thank goodness it wasn't an electrical wire!
I grabbed a roll of duct tape to affix all the wires flat against the side of the house so they wouldn't be such a temptation. (Hopefully I can come up with a more permanent solution soon.) While I was doing that, I came across a monarch butterfly chrysalis attached to the side of the house near the wires. That means at least one of the caterpillars has survived, yay!
I made bean tamales, butternut squash empanadas, colcannon, and persimmon crisp.
That sounds delicious. You grew butternut squash? I assume it grew well or you wouldn't have been able to cook with it. Any other winter squash in the garden?
So glad Rei wasn't injured in his latest chewing adventure. Fur babies are almost as anxiety-inducing as furless ones.
Yes, it was actually a volunteer plant that sprouted from the compost. I got 6 squash off it, so it did really well.
Any other winter squash in the garden?
I grew one called Dostal Cucumber Squash that looks kind of like a zucchini, a delicata squash, and in the front yard I had a kabocha.
Fur babies are almost as anxiety-inducing as furless ones.
