Charles Manson Has Got A New Mugshot Following His Ill Health
By : Anne-Marie Bojan On : 18 Aug 2017 11:10
Charles Manson is currently serving multiple life sentences for his connection to a string of murders that took place in California in the late 60's
Manson and his cult – who became known as the Manson Family – were responsible for a total of nine horrific murders, including Sharon Tate – the girlfriend of Roman Polanski who was eight months pregnant with the director's child.
Following his arrest, Manson's haunting mugshot became synonymous with the case.
Nearly 50 years on from his imprisonment, Manson's appearance has changed dramatically. Time and an infamous swastika tattoo only increased his notoriety, and the public fascination with images of the criminal.
For security reasons, prisoners in America are required to take updated mugshots every few years.

That symbol of hate, inked onto his forehead, looks rather prominent – especially considering how much time has passed for the tattoo to fade – causing many to believe he's had it re-done.
Then again, it could be his scowling face, and the numerous wrinkles accentuating the symbol on the mugshot.
82-year-old Mason was photographed on Monday, at the Corcoran State Prison in Northern California. It was reported by TMZ that Manson was rushed to a nearby hospital recently, where he spent days inside for a lesion in his intestines, which caused significant bleeding.
Surgery had been scheduled but was later cancelled as Manson was reportedly considered 'too high risk' for the operation.

The Days/Les Jours (1969)
John Rea
Jouer l'extrait audio
Les Jours is a ballet in seven episodes, the title and character of each episode originating in the mythological attributes ascribed to those gods whose names have become associated with the days of the week.
Thus, the Sun (Sunday/Dimanche) movement comes from the story of Genesis, the birth of man through the agency of a Universal Power, and the Moon (Monday/Lundi) portrays the youth of man, while Mars (Tuesday/ Mardi) reveals man's passion to wage war, to commit acts of violence.
Mercury (Wednesday/Mercredi) presents a view of man's achievements in culture and of refinement, whereas Jupiter (Thursday/Jeudi) predicts a New Deluge, and the Venus (Friday/Vendredi) reflects upon the aftermath, on a New Spring where a real brotherhood exists. Saturn (Saturday/Samedi) focuses on the pluralistic (and one might say the contemporaneous) aspects of man, depicting three of his most pervasive traits: some men believe themselves to be content and remain so, while other men evolve into reckless and uncontrollable beings, and other simply become anxious and depressed. Will man be held accountable again by the claims of the Universal? Will the cycle renew itself?
Les Jours won the second of two prizes during the Concours international de musique de ballet at Geneva in 1969. It was given its premiere in Toronto, July 1974 on a program with Ravel's overture to the incomplete opera, Sheherazade (1888), and Schoenberg's orchestration of Bach's Prelude and Fugue in E-flat.
The synopsis (argument)
Sunday — In an arid, terrifying place, an indistinguishable number of formless beings lie supine. The atmosphere is rarefied. Gradually, a ray of light, a spatial form of nebular quality overlooks the scene. Some strange energy is released, and the amorphous creatures begin to move. They rise. Staggering one by one, they appear to walk with heads uplifted, and only in this position may they continue to advance.
Monday — Fatigue and weakness becomes apparent and many heads begin to droop. They fall. But in this new posture, from this different point of view, the creatures see each other for the first time. All traces of weariness vanish as they start to amuse themselves. Not only do they play vigorously, but in the end, unjustly as well.
Tuesday — A fight of vicious proportions follows in which all but two of the combatants die. Realizing their crime, they hurry away.
Wednesday — Under a clear, open sky, many spectators marvel at the enigmatic structure before them. Is it a golden column, an ornate pillar, or a soaring tower? The owners of the edifice vaguely resemble the pair of victorious warriors. Slowly the afternoon's brilliance changes to evening clouds.
Thursday — A storm approaches, and the rain becomes a torrent; a vast flood ensues. Virtually all perish.
Friday — With the end of the tempest, a new dawn emerges and a New Spring begins, full of propitious tidings.
Saturday — Certain activities appear to be in progress. The country people enjoy a common rustic feast. In another sphere, simultaneously, some celebrate the end of the deluge in orgiastic revelry. While still in another domain, the inhabitants are capable on neither sentiment: they brood, they worry. This sterile individualism is finally terminated by a thunderclap that terrifies and reawakens all present to the claims of the supernatural. Will the cycle commence once again?

It is ready! I've had this idea in mind for long and, thanks…to the insistence of a friend, I have eventually carried it out. What am I talking about? a beautiful and useful veggie and fruit illustrated calendar. You can have it hanged in your kitchen or wherever you want at home. I hope that you like it.
If you want some, I can post it for you. It is an A3 size print and it costs 6€ , plus delivery costs.

New York Travelogue – (Part 3): The High Line, Chelsea Market, Subway, Brooklyn Bridge and Times Square
April 6, 2019 katongkidsinc
This was our final day at New York City. Our main goal was to cover two attractions. Some say The High Line is a must-go attraction and we shouldn't give it a miss.
The High Line is a public park built on a historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan's West Side.
Saved from demolition by neighborhood residents and the City of New York, the High Line opened in 2009 as a hybrid public space where visitors experience nature, art, and design.
Elevated 30 feet in the air, this former railroad has taken in a form of a beautiful stretch of pathway. The walk is about a mile and a half in length and takes you from Gansevoort Street up to 34th. We arrived just when the sun was setting and took some beautiful shots.
The Chelsea Market was near to The High Line. An indoor food hall, most of the shops in Chelsea Market were food related.
A suitable place for cafe hoppers also, not to mention there was a variety of shops selling gifts, spirits, groceries and more. The building was formerly used to be a biscuit factory, which was why much of the interior and aesthetic was a reminiscence of its past.
Intrigued to see the Youtube office here..
Not surprising to see the Google's office here as Manhattan's Chelsea Market building was bought over by them.
So, that wrapped up our New York vacation. We hope to have more time to visit Pennsylvania and Washington DC. Maybe we will do it next time 🙂
Ending our Big Apple vacation with some memorable pictures.
Definitely not to our liking, we were still figuring out how to take the subway in NYC before we left. Absolutely confusing.
Big M at the vibrant Manhattan's Chinatown, where when you are in food hunt, you know you will never go wrong with dumplings, pork buns and hand-pulled noodles.
You have all the reasons to walk the famous Brooklyn Bridge. It is likely to be crowded but hey, who cares? We are talking about the epitome of Big Apple.
Who says you can't find pockets of spaces to connect with others in one of the most densest cities in the world?
Dazzling with lights all day long, there's a magnetic pull about Times Square. One of the most visited places in the world with over 360,000 pedestrians daily, we just loathe this place, wondering why Singapore can't replicate it. This little adventurer was totally mesmerised. The next part of our journey would see us at the west coast of America – California where we would see San Francisco, Big Sur, Monterey, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Just travel and such. Click here to follow Katong Kids Inc Facebook Page to stay tune on the next travel post.

New York Travelogue – (Part 2): Brooklyn Bridge, Charging Bull, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Washington Square, Times Square and Bryant Park
March 17, 2019 katongkidsinc
Our stay in New York City – Club Quarters Hotel at the World Trade Center. Beautiful view of the city's skyscrapers at the skydeck. The hotel's snack bar has unlimited flow of canned soft drinks, coffee, nuts and snacks for guests.
The hotel was located near to the 9/11 Memorial and the vicinity was not as congested with human crowds as Times Square. The skydeck overlooking the reflecting pools.
And so we took a 3km walk to the Brooklyn Bridge. The Brooklyn Bridge is a hybrid cable-stayed/suspension bridge in New York City. It connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn, spanning the East River.
Popular pop-up food stalls in New York City.
The kids soaking themselves in the sights and culture on each stop.
Travelling to New York on a budget. It doesn't have to be an expensive trip if you kno whow to avoid paying too much money. Avoid pop up stalls selling simple food we thought it was expensive. Instead of signing up for guided walking tours, we thought it would be better to explore by ourselves using google maps.
At the start of the bridge walk. The bridge is a quite popular tourist attraction the best time to be here is early in the morning so that we can avoid the crowds later in the day.
There was a bike lane at the bridge in which a steady steam of cyclists never fails to utilise that lane. We were blessed that the weather was about 15 degrees else we would be sweating by the time we finished our walk.
This is the best place to catch sunrise and sunset. Photo-taking was a challenge as the crowds began to build. We chanced upon a camera team recording MTV.
Just to note that the pedestrain walk is made of wood. Reality is often different from what you see from social media where tourists dressed in tip-top costumes and high heels just for sake of taking the insta-worthy pictures. Hope the heels did not get stuck! We would suggest to forgo vanity for practicality when walking the Brooklyn Bridge.
Charging Bull, which is sometimes referred to as the Wall Street Bull or the Bowling Green Bull, is a bronze sculpture that stands in Bowling Green in the Financial District in Manhattan, New York City. It is the symbol of the US Stock Market.
The jetty was a short walk from the Charging Bull. With the tickets we purchased from 9/11 Museum, we would be taking ferry to the Liberty Island.
It was freezing cold! Visitors could opt to sit at the balcony or the sheltered basement.
Getting closer to the Statue of Liberty..
It was not a wasted trip. We thought of the possiblity of viewing Statue of Liberty from the mainland but decided to pay a visit to the island. It wasn't expensive and by getting near here would mean we could take decent pictures.
It was also a perfect place to view the Big Apple from another angle.
To our pleasant surprise, we did not know that our tickets also included a visit to the Ellis Island. The Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration is located in the Main Building of the former immigration station complex and tells the moving tales of the 12 million immigrants who entered America through the golden door of Ellis Island. Today, the descendants of those immigrants account for almost half of the American people.
We learned about the history of early immigrants. Actually we were not big fans of museums.
Once we returned to the mainland, we hopped onto the subway to Washington Park.
This place was basically an outskirt from the busyness of the city. Not much attractions but it would be a charming place to immerse ourselves with the life of locals.
And we were being interviewed by the college students who were doing a social experiment.
We tried McDonald's 🙂
Some said NYC is a city of endless possibilities. We were amazed upon reaching Times Square. It was so beautiful!
Located in the heart of New York City, Times Square is home to some of the most famous attractions New York has to offer.
We were just trying to find sweet spots for photo-taking.
Exploring the stores.
Macy's Herald Square is the flagship of the Macy's department store chain; it is located on Herald Square in Manhattan, New York City.
Big M got what she has been looking forward to.
Amazon Books located on 34th Street (Manhattan).
The prices were not cheaper than online. In fact they were priced the same.
The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. We did not go up as that would mean paying for expensive tickets.
Located in Midtown Manhattan between 7th and 8th Avenues from 31st to 33rd Streets, the Madison Square Garden is situated atop Pennsylvania Station. If one were to wonder why it is so famous, this is the home ground of the famous New York Knicks.
Up next is the Bryant Park. Surrounded by skyscrappers, Bryant Park is Bryant Park is visited many people each year and is one of the busiest public spaces in NYC.
The ice skating rink would come to life during Christmas. What an atmosphere!
There's no better place to chill out other than Bryant Park.
Next to the Bryant Park was the Whole Foods Market which offered a full range of high-quality and natural food. It is overlooking the beautiful Bryant Park and the New York Public Library.
At 43,000 square feet, the store has two levels of retail space that will host a full range of high-quality natural and organic goods, as well as the "News Agency," a coffee and juice bar, which will pay homage to the look and feel of the city's classic newsstands. Here's our order. Microwave ovens were provided for diners to warm up their food.

The First San Francisco Shake Shack is Here
But is it worth the hype?
by Grace Z. Li • 02/13/2020 3:20 pm - Updated 06/15/2021 1:26 pm
The ShackMeister Burger, strawberry lemonade, and The Great Escape at Shake Shack. Photo by Grace Li
Shake Shack is really, needlessly controversial, and its new Cow Hollow location — the first in San Francisco — is stirring up equally unnecessary debate. The two types I've people I've encountered fall into these categories: You love it, and are willing to stand for 45 minutes in long, winding lines for a chance to try its iconic milkshakes, or you hate it, and are prepared to argue against Shake Shack's existence until the end, with a bevy of other, self-described "superior" burgers in your arsenal.
Reality is much less exciting. Shake Shack is OK — a bit overpriced, but there are some truly tasty options. Take the ShackMeister Burger, for example, a limited edition item that'll be available through March 16, with varying prices across the nation. It's a cheeseburger stuffed with crispy shallots. It sounds really simple in concept, but it's really satisfyingly savory and crunchy.
But when it comes to the California-specific menu, The Golden State Double ($10.99) disappoints. It has grass-fed beef patties with cheddar cheese, pickles and smoked garlic aioli — a promising combination if the aioli wasn't so haphazardly smeared onto one half of the burger. Uneven spread aside, it's a bit hard justifying the burger for $10.99, when like a lot of Shake Shack burgers, it's really small.
But Shake Shack isn't just burgers. They've gotten a lot of hype for their frozen custards ($4.99) too, of which they have three special flavors using items from other Bay Area businesses. The California Cold Rush features kouign amann from B. Patisserie, cacao nibs from Dandelion Chocolate, and salted caramel. The Pie Oh My uses seasonal Pie Dreams pie and donates five percent of its sales to La Cocina. The Great Escape is swirled through with sweet, tart strawberry puree and chunks of Dough XX salted sugar cookie dough. Each starts with the same thick vanilla custard foundation.
To me, Shake Shack is by no means worth waiting in line for. ("We waited here for 45 minutes, and we ate in ten minutes," I overheard a kid saying to his father.)
At the very least, the Cow Hollow location does make it a very pleasant place to wait. There's an open patio filled with seating and black, white and green tiling indoors. Another location is slated to open at the Westfield Centre mall this year.
I'm waiting for the day when the lines die down and Shake Shack reverts to what it should be — a casual place to grab a burger and beer — instead of the mythicized beast that we've hyped it up into.

Living in Santa Monica
The Santa Monica Life: Fuddruckers, Santa Monica Brew Works, and Expo!
S.M. Next
"The Santa Monica Life" is a weekly roundup of all the local fun, food, drinks, and lifestyle goings-on in Santa Monica. When the fun is so close, it's easy to leave the car at home and walk, bike, or bus to all the exciting stuff our city has to offer. Isn't that why we love it here?
We've got some doubly exciting Santa Monica news from L.A. Eater this week involving burgers and beer. L.A. Eater reports that Fuddruckers' new Santa Monica location is now open for business, which is exciting news for fans of the classic burger joint.
"When you walk in the door, you're transported to a retro 50s diner atmosphere ready for the juicy burgers and tasty milkshakes we all remember from childhood," L.A. Eater writes.
Unfortunately, the space — at Wilshire and 20th — is lacking in arcade games, according to L.A. Eater, but there's still plenty to recommend it.
L.A. Eater: "First choose between quarter and half pound patties and bite into a crisp and warm bun that is baked from scratch on-site throughout the day. Guzzle it all down with an old-school milkshake. In case you're feeling adventurous, there are other protein options like buffalo, elk and wild boar, as well as chicken and a veggie option. Dress your burger the way you like it with the long condiment bar (including a nacho cheese pump option). However, for all the healthy Santa Monica locals, have the burger protein style or with a gluten-free bun."
And, Santa Monica Brew Works, the bayside city's only craft brewery, is on track to open a taproom later this year, L.A. Eater reports.
"Owner Scott Francis says that the on-site expansion (their production brewery sits just below a UCLA clinic) will be more than just a few empty barrels for seating and some grain bags thrown around. 'We don't just want to stick a bar in the corner,' says Francis, adding that customers will be given a more refined experience while tasting from a selection of widely available and one-off Santa Monica Brew Works beers," according to L.A. Eater.
The new taproom will be at a prime location.
.@SantaMonicaBrew tasting room to open 2015, with Expo Line 17th St/SMC Station a 3 minute walk away http://t.co/En2TQ9EYa3
— Expo Line Ledger (@expolineledger) May 19, 2015
This week was "The Brand New L.A. Week" at L.A. Mag. And, as part of the week-long glimpse into the future, L.A. Mag featured a round up of the projected opening dates of the County's new light rail and subway lines, including the Santa Monica-bound Expo light rail.
L.A. Mag on the Expo line: "It's hard not to notice the bright blue stations that have sprouted throughout Palms, Rancho Park, West L.A., and Santa Monica. Work is wrapping on the western terminus near Santa Monica Place and early testing is happening in Cheviot Hills. Pictures recently appeared on social media showing a train stuck along Overland Avenue, but it appeared to be a minor snafu. Barring any other surprises, and adequate trains, expect an opening in April or May of next year."
We've also covered the Expo line in more detail, including the bike path construction happening parallel to the light rail line.
Speaking of bikes, are you someone who prefers to be active, getting your exercise while getting around? Then, you might not be surprised to find out that Santa Monica is in a list of the top ten best cities for people who ride bikes.
According to Grist.org, Santa Monica is number six out of a 154 cities ranked by the same people who do WalkScore.
"To compile its annual list of America's most cycling-friendly cities, the company takes into account bike-lane availability, plus the number of hills in a city, bike-commuting rates, and how often bikers have to de-saddle along their routes, among other factors. This year's list, which includes 154 cities, has a few surprises," Grist.org reports.
Beating out Santa Monica were Cambridge, MA; Davis, CA; Berkeley, CA; Boulder, CO; and Santa Cruz, CA.
Santa Monica beat out cities with reputations for being some of the bike-friendliest in the country, including Portland, OR; San Francisco, CA; and even Seattle, WA.
Keep up the good work, Santa Monica.

What the fuck was it with Rome and evil sorceress desert queens?
Posted on September 18, 2022 by Anonymous
What the fuck was it with Rome and evil sorceress desert queens? To have it happen once would be wacky enough but 3 fucking times?
Cleopatra, Zenobia... who was the other?
>he doesn't know
State of LULZ
Dido of course
Man faces in painting are really ugly
Cleopatra ?
Dido ?
Zenobia ?
I just think romans were coomers who loved caramel skinned MENA girls
What did Dido have to do with Rome?
https://i.imgur.com/htoQ1HQ.jpg
You guys are all forgetting Muhammad was a tranny. That makes 4 evil sorceress desert queens.
>a tranny's followers brought down the eastern roman empire
AHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mavia_(queen)
Thanks. Never heard of her before.
The pussy is just too good
>Eunoë Maura was the wife of Bogudes, King of Western Mauretania.[1]
>She is believed to have been a mistress of Julius Caesar. She may have replaced Cleopatra in Caesar's affections, when he arrived in North Africa prior to the Battle of Thapsus on 6 April 46 BC, the two were among several queens courted by Caesar.[6] It is also possible that they first met in Spain if she accompanied her husband there on a campaign.[4] Only a brief romance for the Roman, both Eunoe and Bogudes profited through gifts bestowed on them by Caesar.[7]
> Eunoë Maura
How would she look like?
Berber, Moor or black?
Did Caesar tap dem negressass?
Not black
Also moors were berbers so i dont know why you say "moors, berbers"
>black
Cleopatra was not MENA
She was mixed with locals and she was located/lived in MENA
The stereotype was the easterner's were effeminate so they were ruled by women. The same thing goes for Elagabalus who probably wasn't actually like that, rather they were just making fun of him for being effeminate and exaggerating things.
Its true
>She was mixed with locals
The Ptolemies were notorious for their inbreeding
Yeah they were both inbred and mixed
What do you think happened to Zenobia, bros?
>Although Aurelian had most of his prisoners executed, he spared the queen and her son to parade her in his planned triumph.[185]
>Zenobia's fate after Emesa is uncertain since ancient historians left conflicting accounts.[186] Zosimus wrote that she died before crossing the Bosporus on her way to Rome; according to this account, the queen became ill or starved herself to death.[186] The generally unreliable chronicler, John Malalas,[187] wrote that Aurelian humiliated Zenobia by parading her through the eastern cities on a dromedary; in Antioch, the emperor had her chained and seated on a dais in the hippodrome for three days before the city's populace.[186][188] Malalas concluded his account by writing that Zenobia appeared in Aurelian's triumph and was then beheaded.[189] Most ancient historians and modern scholars agree that Zenobia was displayed in Aurelian's 274 triumph;[189] Zosimus was the only source to say that the queen died before reaching Rome, making his account questionable.[190] A public humiliation (as recounted by Malalas) is a plausible scenario, since Aurelian would probably have wanted to publicize his suppression of the Palmyrene rebellion.[186] Only Malalas, however, describes Zenobia's beheading; according to the other historians, her life was spared after Aurelian's triumph.[189] The Augustan History recorded that Aurelian gave Zenobia a villa in Tibur near Hadrian's Villa, where she lived with her children.[191][192] Zonaras wrote that Zenobia married a nobleman,[193] and Syncellus wrote that she married a Roman senator.[191] The house she reportedly occupied became a tourist attraction in Rome.[194]
She got fucked all night by aurelian
How fat were their asses
israeli pussy can do that to a nigga
>The Augustan History ("Tyrrani Triginta" 27, 30) claims that Zenobia queen of Palmyra in the late third century was descended from Cleopatra, Dido and Semiramis.
Unironically it was all over grain and food supply. Romes population grew to the point that they where reliant on Egyptian grain. They slammed that fertile nile pussy to keep Rome fed.
What were their farts like?
How close is this to Cleopatra's appearance?
Cleopatra was GREEK, so not at all.
bobs are too big
Your gay is too big.
Egyptian trim got them actin funny

Ukraine Says Three More Soldiers Killed Despite Truce
December 11, 2014 17:37 GMT
A pro-Russian gunman gestures in front of damaged houses on the outskirts of Donetsk.
The Ukrainian military said on December 11 that three Ukrainian soldiers were killed and eight injured in attacks by pro-Russian separatists over the previous 24 hours -- the first casualties since a fresh truce deal in eastern Ukraine went into effect on December 9.
Military spokesman Andriy Lysenko said that Ukraine's army also registered 22 shelling attacks by separatists in the same time period.
In Moscow, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Aleksandr Lukashevich said on December 11 that Russia is sparing no effort to convene another round of peace talks.
A cease-fire agreed on September 5 in Minsk has been repeatedly violated, with more than 1,000 people killed since the deal was signed.
A fresh round of talks in Minsk had been expected this week, but the renewed violence has clouded prospects for the resumption of talks.
The truce declared by the Ukrainian government on December 9 was dubbed a "day of silence" and appeared to hold for 24 hours -- with Kyiv announcing on December 10 that it would extend the truce.
It followed a cease-fire agreed in September in the Belarusian capital, Minsk, which has since been repeatedly violated, with more than 1,000 people killed. The total number of deaths since the start of the conflict in mid-April amounts to some 4,300, according to the United Nations.
The two sides -- along with Russian and European monitors -- are still trying to organize comprehensive peace talks.
The Ukraine government had initially hoped to hold talks in Minsk on December 9, and by December 12 at the latest.
But there has still been no announcement of renewed talks.
Meanwhile, both sides have accused the other of delaying negotiations expected to focus on prisoner exchanges, amnesties for separatist fighters, and the future political status of Ukraine's two separatist-dominated provinces in the east.
On December 10, Ukraine's former President Leonid Kuchma -- Kyiv's envoy in the peace process with Russia, separatists, and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) -- said a new round of negotiations should not be held in Minsk in the coming days because separatists had violated a previously agreed cease-fire deal.
But Lukashevich, the Russian foreign ministry spokesman, told a news conference in Moscow on December 11 that "Russia will dedicate the maximum effort to having a meeting of this group organized as soon as possible and bringing about positive results for further steps towards carrying out the Minsk agreements."
Earlier on December 11, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko called on Russia to end its support for the separatists, including withdrawing any Russian forces that are on Ukrainian soil.
Poroshenko, speaking during a visit to Australia, also urged Russia to seal the border between the two countries, saying that doing so would lead to "peace and stability in Ukraine" within a matter of weeks.
Moscow denies playing any role in the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
Australia and Ukraine have formed close ties over Moscow's support for the separatists since Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down in July over rebel-held territory in eastern Ukraine.
Of the nearly 300 people who died in the air disaster, 38 were Australian citizens or residents.
Ukraine's government and many officials in the West blame the separatists for shooting down the plane with a missile supplied by Moscow, something the Kremlin denies.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said on December 11: "If it turns out that people under Russian authority had a hand in this, we absolutely expect them to be surrendered to investigators and to prosecutors because this is an atrocity. It was mass murder on a vast scale."

I, for one, am glad that Europeans tried to Christianize Korea. Not for the spread of the religian but because they set up orphanages. Jomamma came from one such orphanage and gave her adoptave family such joy. It would not have happened without them. While it was so long ago, I still remember the year we had Christmas in February.
Awww, how sweet. The only ones left who remember that day are my two older brothers. It was a darn lucky day for me too!

Light of Day Organics Fuel the Body & Soul
It takes an abundance of tiny leaves to make a single pound of tea, and it is grown almost exclusively in temperate zones. So how does a Tea Fairy in snowy Leelanau County manage to grow hundreds of certified organic tea plants on her farm?
The cured leaf of the tea plant ("Camellia sinensis") has been cultivated and shipped worldwide for thousands of years, enjoyed both as a medicinal concoction or simply as an iced drink. It is second only to water as the most consumed beverage in the world. However, there are only a handful tea farms in the United States.
Light of Day Organics was founded by a traveling nurse and mother named Angela Macke in 2003, following an auto-immune diagnosis. She is passionate about "tea-evangelism", and tea's nutrient-dense capacity to reduce inflammation to fuel the body and spirit. Her background in Holistic health as a Registered Nurse, Educator, and Horticulturalist plays an integral role in the creation of each and every blend of Tea grown at the farm, located 8 miles west of Traverse City.
It's been a busy Spring at Light of Day, with contractors working on the completion of another hoop house for more tea plants, and preparing the land to welcome some new livestock additions to help support farm fertility with on-farm manure source (a requirement of certified Demeter Biodynamic farms). They actively looking for friendly farm animals in the area in need of adoption to live out their lives happily in safe, organic pasture.
While the retail store and farm is currently closed to the public, all products are currently available online (https://lightofdayorganics.com/order/).
Macke looks forward to the return of "Farm Friday" special events (yurt classes, tea tasting, farm tour & private shopping) in the later summer, or once restrictions are lifted.

This article lists notable tsunamis, which are sorted by the date and location that the tsunami occurred.

Because of seismic and volcanic activity associated with tectonic plate boundaries along the Pacific Ring of Fire, tsunamis occur most frequently in the Pacific Ocean, but are a worldwide natural phenomenon. They are possible wherever large bodies of water are found, including inland lakes, where they can be caused by landslides and glacier calving. Very small tsunamis, non-destructive and undetectable without specialized equipment, occur frequently as a result of minor earthquakes and other events.

Around 1600 BC, a tsunami caused by the eruption of Thira devastated the Minoan civilization on Crete and related cultures in the Cyclades, as well as in areas on the Greek mainland facing the eruption, such as the Argolid.

The oldest recorded tsunami occurred in 479 BC. It destroyed a Persian army that was attacking the town of Potidaea in Greece.

As early as 426 BC, the Greek historian Thucydides inquired in his book History of the Peloponnesian War (3.89.1–6) about the causes of tsunamis. He argued that such events could only be explained as a consequence of ocean earthquakes, and could see no other possible causes.

God's answer to Moses "I AM WHO I AM" is translated YWHW or Yahweh. The name is considered so sacred that Jewish people for centuries have refused to speak it. But this is merely a translation that points to the meaning, not only who but what. Moses was sent by the the Eternal One. The Self Existent I AM. The One whose signature is "in the beginning", who is, and was, and is to come. And He alone transcends time, history and existence.
He is El Shaddai the Almighty, All Sufficent On.
Elohim keeper of the covenant.
El Elyon, the Most High God.
El Olam God of Eternity.
El Roi God who sees.
Adonai, Lord, Ruler, and Master.
He is Jehovah Eloheenu, the Lord our God.
He is Jehovah Elohai the Lord my God.
He is Jehovah Hoseenu the Lord our Maker.
He is Jehovah Jireh who sees and supplies all our needs.
He is Jehovah M'Qaddesh the Lord who sanctifies us.
He is Jehovah Nissi the Lord our Banner.
He is Jehovah Rapha the Lord who heals.
He is Jehovah Raah the Lord our Shepherd.
He is Jehovah Sabaoth the Lord of Angel Armies.
He is Jehovah Shalom the Lord is our Peace.
He is never changing. His word always true and faithful.
And the I AM who revealed Himself to Moses came down to us to be our I AM.
In all of His majesty, power, wisdom, and glory He chose us, to make us His children, recipients of His great love, grace and mercy. And the best news of all, from everlasting to everlasting….


LANSING — State Reps. Abdullah Hammoud (D-Dearborn) and Robert Wittenberg (D-Huntington Woods) have introduced House Bills 6119 and 6120, which would revise kosher and halal food service laws in Michigan to increase transparency and address fraud.
HB 6119, sponsored by Rep. Wittenberg, would require establishments that sell kosher or halal food items to post a disclosure sign with content, design, placement, etc. determined through Michigan Department of Agriculture & Rural Development rules. Additionally, the bill would establish fines for failure to post the sign, and would subject those fraudulently selling food claimed to be halal or kosher to the penalties proposed in the companion bill.
HB 6120, sponsored by Rep. Hammoud, would establish misdemeanor penalties for a person that misrepresents food as kosher or halal or knowingly prepares, distributes, sells, or exposes food falsely claimed to be kosher or halal.

As a rule of thumb, you need to start slowly. Practice a couple of weeks or months or more, before you can get anywhere near to so-called runners high.
Among the best types of exercise for losing or keeping a consistent weight.
Among the few sporting activities that don't need plenty of gear.
An excellent way to lower your likelihood of developing tension headaches.
Remarkably good at making you healthier in a variety of means.
Running also helps prevent and reduce diseases, like diabetes, cancer and digestive issues.
A wholesome lifestyle and a wholesome dosage of outdoors have a good deal benefits. Becoming healthy makes you feel genuinely right.
Fitness activities are fantastic for your wellbeing. Benefits are not only physical, but also mentally rewarding. Athletes of all sorts and ability levels take mental exercises. But runners are uniquely suited to receive the advantages.
But to be a better runner, you need to do more.
Don't forget the strength training. You need a strong core and back to maintain a good rhythm and upright posture.
Also, remember to stretch to maintain your mobility.
it allows you to avoid running injuries.
High blood pressure or heart troubles.
You feel exhausted after mild activity.
You have muscular, ligament or tendon problems.
Long or vigorous exercises don't cause health risks for persons in good health. If you need a doctor's consultation, then you should adapt the power of the exercises accordingly. Anyway, staying inactive and overweight will present much greater risks than exercising.
Running just may be the handiest workout of all. But once again we all are different. The trick is to understand what you're running for. Then you can design your fitness exercises appropriately. Are you running for weight loss, or training for your first 10K, or a marathon? Or do you run to get some fresh air and relax before or after your workday?
Sometimes you have to remind yourself that the point of an exercise is to gain fitness, not to prove fitness.
So it is ok to walk and run, you don't need to run continuously for an hour.
That takes confidence and patience.
Fitness activities must become one of those things that you do without question. So, you need to incorporate exercises into your daily or weekly routines.
Getting fit is easy, staying fit is the challenge. And if you are hugely motivated, try not to train yourself into the ground.

Staff at the Dumfries Morrisons store have netted more than 60,000 views on Facebook for their version of the Baby Shark Challenge.
Store manager Billy Roddie and staff members Gill Pearcie, Barry Chambers, Myra Smith and Mary Sawden couldn't resist snapping too and having a go with their own dance moves to the catchy Baby Shark Song, and their fun antics in the fishmongery are catching on.
Community champion Myra, said: "We made a wee video at work by GA Productions jumping on the Baby Shark trend. It was just for fun but after posting it on Facebook over the weekend we have had over 60,000 views already.
The Baby Shark Song featured on the PingFong YouTube channel as a sing-along for children but it has gone viral with all ages doing their own Baby Shark Challenge and posting them on Facebook.

We've all passed that bin or cart at the grocery store filled with discontinued or out-of-season products. I'll stop and cast a cursory glance over the array, before moving on. Typically a bust, the cart brims with items that I would never use: cans of cartoon-shaped Spaghetti-O's, infant formula, or leftover bags of Halloween candy.
But this time, I was surprised to find real treasure, a baker's bonanza: blocks of white and dark chocolate, bags of semi-sweet chips, brown sugar, and cartons of almond milk. I didn't need any of them, but at half-price, I'd snap up the bargains–certain that I would use the sugar and chocolate during the holidays.
The almond milk was another matter. I'd never tasted it, nor cooked with it, but at half-off, it was a good opportunity to experiment with it. I bought one quart, stashed it in my pantry, and would wait for the right inspiration.
With pear season upon us, I didn't wait long.
Baked into cakes and tarts, pears and almonds make happy companions, but that wouldn't put the almond milk to much use. A clafoutis, that curious French confection that relies on a blend of eggs, milk, sugar and flour for its thin batter, could be an ideal candidate.
A rustic fruit dessert originally made with cherries, it affords some variables that you can play on. Pears? Of course. Sliced thinly, firm but ripe Red Anjous and Barletts would be delicious baked into the clafoutis.
How about using brown sugar instead of white granulated? Yes.
I did a little research and found that almond milk and cow's milk could be interchangeable; the same holds true with almond flour and all-purpose. So, those of you desiring to be dairy and/or gluten-free, this dessert is for you.
The rest of us are going to be mighty pleased with it as well.
Wanting to accentuate the almond theme, I coarsely ground a cup of whole almonds to cover the bottom and sides of my buttered baking dish. I thought that they might add a crunchy crustlike element to the clafoutis.
I also grated some fresh nutmeg over the surface. Be sure to take in the aromatics before you stir it into the foamy mixture.
The clafoutis is ready for the oven. I really packed it with pears, tucking in a few unpeeled Red Anjou slices around the top.
It baked beautifully, with a smooth custard, soft, luscious pears, and nice almond crunch. I don't think you'd know what sort of milk went into its baking.
I'm in agreement with Molly of Orangette : Fresh out of the oven, it is fragrant and delicious. But, tomorrow it will taste even better. Overnight in the fridge, the flavors will settle in, and a chilled slice with cup of coffee sounds like a fine way to start a fall morning.
Coat a baking dish, bottom and sides, with butter. Sprinkle the ground almonds evenly to cover, reserving a couple of tablespoons, and set aside.
Peel, halve lengthwise, and core the pears. Cutting across the body of the pear, slice into thin pieces.
Using an electric beater (or immersion blender or food processor,) blend the brown sugar and eggs together. Then, add the flour, beating until smooth, followed by the almond milk, followed by the vanilla. The mixture will be frothy.
Grate the nutmeg over the mixture and stir. Ladle it into the baking dish to cover the bottom.
Arrange the sliced pears on top. Pour the remaining mixture over the pears. Sprinkle the rest of the ground almonds around the perimeter of the dish.
Place onto the middle rack and bake for 65-70 minutes–until the top becomes golden brown and custardy batter is set. Allow to cool on a rack.

To my Good Food Matters friends in the Washington DC area!
I will presenting my cookbook at Vigilante Coffee Roastery and Cafe on Sunday November 23rd. Check out the invite for details.
Of course, I'll be serving some goodies of the season from the book, and barista-extraordinaire Chris Vigilante will be making some luscious coffees to pair with them.
I'm thrilled to be trekking out of Tennessee with Third Thursday Community Potluck Cookbooks in tow, and would love it if you could come by.
Nancy, enjoyed the story and the inspiration. I am a big fan of almond milk and you know I will try this recipe.
I substitute almond milk in all kinds of recipes Nancy as we have several lactose sensitive family members and it substitutes perfectly albeit more like skim milk. I recently substituted it for evaporated milk in a pumpkin custard. No difference! Being French, clafoutis is one of those dishes that should be in my repertoire but I am not a huge fan. Often too eggy. This one really appeals to me. It has a rustic quality with the added almonds and fruit slices on the top. Your recipe might make a convert of me! Good luck in DC. Wish I could join you. I am often there as I have a son studying at Georgetown.
This is interesting and timely as I was having a conversation with a friend who has had to go on a no-dairy diet about almond milk just last week and I have been looking out for it on my shopping trips but haven't found it yet. I am keen to try it and see if I can use it on my muesli in the morning. I am not sure about using it in my cup of tea though. The clafoutis sounds delicious. Enjoy DC and I hope your book rushes out of the door, as it deserves to.
Mark-I think this one is perfect for you.
Johanne–Thank you for the tip–it makes sense that almond milk would be a marvelous substitute for evaporated milk—I will use it in my pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving. I understand your negative feelings about the clafoutis—I have had some bad ones, some too eggy, some dense and rubbery. This one avoids those pitfalls!
I wish you could come to the book event too. It would be nice to meet you in person.
This sounds perfect for Thanksgiving! Thank you Nancy!
Hi Kath–I'm not sure about using it in my coffee either, but may try it soon! Thanks for the good wishes.
Hi Heather–yes, because there's no gluten or dairy (you sub the butter for oil) and low sugar, this dessert is ideal for the Ferguson household!
I love how rustic this looks. I could dig right in. Btw, you've inspired me to write a new post after a very long absence. Thank you!
Yay, Tracy. Can't wait to read it.
Oh, this sounds heavenly! I've never baked with almond milk before either.
Sigh. What a perfect fall dessert. Pears and almond work beautifully together, and I know I'd love to try this clafouti.
I have been using only Almond Milk for quite a few years now. Not sure why exactly anymore but I love it. I use the unsweetened vanilla almond milk in everything and even with cereal and in my coffee. I have even made "ice cream" with the chocolate almond milk. So welcome Nance to world of Almond Milk.
As to your DC book signing….congrats and enjoy the limelight. I will be thinking of you through the holiday week and wishing you well.
Your clafoutis looks wonderful to me…pears I adore and I have rarely met a clafoutis that I did not love…your version is particularly wonderful.
Teresa, I'm a latecomer to the almond milk par-tay, and I am looking forward to trying it in many things!
I remember using almond mind in some sort of smoothie made years ago. It was pretty good, although I haven't used it lately. Your clafoutis looks excellent Nancy! Quite a list of goodies to find at your market! So often I don't see anything I want or use in that bin. But last week mine had a HUGE jar of pb and one free. Living in Florida, I always have pb in my pantry for hurricanes…couldn't pass that one up!
Hi Barbara–that was a great find!
i love using almond milk and never thought about using it in a clafoutis before. I can only imagine how amazing it makes it and nutty and sweet.
What a beautiful dessert. I just adore pears. I have never tried almond milk – which is pretty weird, now that I think about it as I love to try new foods. I will have to give it ago, and you have provided the perfect vehicle. Mille grazie!
Great dessert. We have pears from the market and almond milk. This looks like a thanksgiving try!
Thank you for the recipe! I'm craving to do this! I'll buy lots pears tomorrow!
Hi I found your post very much interesting with all those pics and instructions that are very precise. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I also have some info on almond milk and its benefits.
Zut alors, came upon your website too late to take you up on the invitation, and I had just popped down to Washington from NY for Thanksgiving with my sis, an extraordinary cook.
Well, how did the signing go? This looks so delectable. I'm passing it on untested to my gluten- and dairy-avoidant daughter. Now I suppose I ought to order up that book of yours!

On My Must See List: Bernina Express & Glacier Express
Sometimes I think that traveling by train might be the best way to travel. There's rarely any traffic congestion or stress from battling other drivers, you usually get a nice view out the window and it's generally pretty comfortable. You can sit back and relax. Traveling by train has been a favorite since the introduction of the locomotive. Even to this day, traveling aboard the Orient Express is still a magical and mysterious adventure that people are anxious to try. But there are two express train routes in Switzerland that I'd try before the famed Orient Express. The Bernina Express and the Glacier Express top my list of must see train trips.
Operated by the Rhaetian Railway, both express trains run right through the Alps and through and past a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Rhaetian Railway in the Albula/Bernina Landscapes. Similarly, both the Bernina Express and the Glacier Express offer spectacular views that you can admire from the comfort of panoramic train cars, that is, the large windows extend well over your head so that you can take in all the sites.
A journey on the Bernina Express takes, on average, four hours and will take you from Chur (the oldest town in Switzerland), Davos or St. Moritz to Tirano, Italy. It's the way you get to Tirano that's exciting, through landscapes that boast Europe's highest density of castles. Rhaetian Railway's website also quotes some impressive technical statistics: "The train makes short work of the 55 tunnels, 196 bridges and slopes of up to 70 millimetres per metre of incline that are found along its route."
If you're not tired of train trips yet — and I'm not quite sure how you could be — there's the just as impressive and slightly more deluxe Glacier Express. The Glacier Express is advertised as the slowest express train in the world (the route takes approximately eight hours from start to finish) as it travels from St. Moritz or Chur to Zermatt past picturesque sites including the legendary Matterhorn and the Rhine Gorge. But the folks at the Rhaetian Railway offer not only a feast for the eyes, but also the stomach. The Glacier Express also has a chef on board preparing gourmet food.
The Bernina Express and Glacier Express may not have the popularity in pop culture that other rail travels like the Orient Express. But who cares? The spectacular landscapes and adventures that await on the Rhaetian Railway are intriguing and definitely on my must see list.

Barcelona Football Blog
June 24, 2020	/ Kxevin	/ Analysis
Barça 1, Athletic Club 0, aka "And the young shall lead them"
It wasn't what Riqui Puig did, but how he did it.
It wasn't what Ansu Fati did, but how he did it.
Just before the 60th minute of an eyesore of a Liga match as Barça engaged in trench warfare of its own design against Athletic Club, Quique Setien decided to roll the dice. He did this while scoffing at his own petard, when discussing youth players earlier in the week, and suggesting that quality was the impediment to them getting more time. Then he swallowed his pride and thankfully, not his tongue in choosing to insert the second-youngest and smallest of them all, Riqui Puig.
This was a match of bare knuckles, a match that included Beelzebub himself, Raul Garcia, a devotee of the Dark Arts whose every move makes the air redolent with the scent of brimstone. And in trots Puig, shirt tucked into his shorts, looking like a perfectly coiffed winner of the Player for a Day contest, where some lucky fan gets to train with the first team.
And he stood the match on its head.
We forget a lot of things about how something is when we're used to it. You take the car in for tuneup, get it back and think, "Wow!" The performance deteriorates over time, and you become used to it, because it's gradual. Barça isn't a very good football team right now, in the modern sense of the game, or in many other aspects. It's a slow, technically deficient group with too much space between players, lumbering around like pylons atop a Roomba that needs a charge as defenders smile and say, "Just don't let number 10 kill you."
Puig came in and looked jittery and impatient, qualities you would ascribe to him if you hadn't watched him play before. That's how he is. He wants the ball, because he wants to do something with it. Lateral passes exuded reluctance, like the kid at the grown-up table passing the salt because you were supposed to, rather than reminding Gramps about his high blood pressure. But then, at the proper moment, a run. A little bit of sparkle that moved everything forward, that accelerated play in a way that made you realize what is missing from this Barça team: purposeful forward movement from a midfielder with the ball at his feet.
Vidal makes runs, Raktic makes runs, Busquets spits out thunderbolts from a stationary position like a fixed emplacement. But the last midfielder to move with the ball at his feet, forward, always forward, alacrity in the soul not bigger than a minute, was Iniesta. Puig isn't Iniesta, but he shares that same sense of magnetism toward the opponent goal. He goes sends the ball there, and follows so that he is where the ball is. Barça players too often send the ball on its way then stand there, like a father watching a child learning to ride a bike. "Don't hurt yourself, now!" And that's wrong. And slow. It also creates space for defenses to exploit.
Puig takes a pass with his body open and head up. He assumes control of the ball, and already knows what to do next. If he keeps the ball, it's because somebody hasn't done what they are supposed to do, and he has to hold it. Compare the way he plays to the way everyone else plays, two and three touches, then a release to another stationary teammate, who takes two or three touches then releases to another stationary teammate. Stonehenge rondos. Puig was everywhere, battling for balls on defense, forcing them loose while looking like that coding glitch that made one player in an NFL Football video game tiny compared to the rest.
Setien credited him with energy and drive, but it was more than that. He was a clarion call, a gauntlet that demanded effort from Puig's elders. "Keep up. Let's do this."
And then came Fati, who among his first actions in the match sent Garcia tumbling to the pitch, his lack of respect for anything already abundantly clear. He faced up defenders, brushed the ball past them and sprinted, creating a footrace that was as much a dare as anything else, a capricious, capering thing having fun. Football is a dour, business that commands control of countless sums. But sometimes, it takes a pair of kids to remind us that it's a game. That there is stuff to be tried, and so what if it doesn't work? Try something else. What's the harm when you have all the time in the world?
And that's the problem with so much football, with Barça in particular. There isn't a sense of wonder, only fear. Veterans mark time by its shortness. Only so long to win before prime moments are gone and legs become heavy. Luis Suarez takes a year to even start a run now, never mind catching up with a pass that asks the most optimistic questions of him. "I only have so long," and it makes veterans risk averse, demands a backpass. No risk, no error, and maybe we win later. The lassitude pervades the game, makes everything so slow, so technically drab. Puig and Fati asked, "Why are we walking, when we can run?" This is why youth players are integrated into a team. It's more than because it's cheaper than transfers, or because it's someone's turn. It's why interns make veterans raise their game. That young reporter doesn't know you aren't supposed to write six stories in a week. They just want to be published, as much as they can. Puig had essentially 30 minutes, Fati even less time.
What are we waiting for? Let's do something.
Neither was directly involved in the winning goal, but the way they sped up the game was. And suddenly, Barça was fun to watch again. Cries of "They should start all the time" are hasty, even though the current Barça squad is a paean to corporate timidity and incompetence. But the future is bright, and more glimpses should become a regular thing, even from a man managing for his life instead of to witness the joys of possibility.
At long last, it's Dembele's first season

Aubusson carpets derive their name from the city of Aubusson, France, where legend depicts great looms were established to serve the country''s aristocrats. Famed for its carpets and tapestries since the 15th century, Aubusson is thought to have originated the style of carpet from weavers from Flanders, who took refuge there in Aubusson, France.
Among the most luxurious floor coverings, based on royal preferences for beautiful lavish designs, Aubusson rugs were painstakingly crafted flat-weave tapestry carpets that rivaled the opulent architectural style of Versailles. This neoclassical style of Aubusson rugs conveys a grace, and elegance.
Today, techniques used by revered Aubusson craftsmen from France are recreated down to the last detail in every finely crafted hand-knotted Aubusson rug.


The site has been part of the current farm since the 1960's, when it was bought by the farmer (Chris's dad). Before this, the site had been used as the village dump, before centralised rubbish collections, and was home to all the local rubbish – jars, bottles, crockery, old bikes, boots and animal bones. The owners then flattened all this to a level site and plated it with larch trees. 40 plus years on, we took it over, and in preparing it brought much of this old rubbish back to the surface.
The resulting very amateur archaeology has proved mysteriously fascinating to at least one of us, who has got very excited over 1920's Marmite and Bovril jars, old lemonade bottles and ink pots.

Planning Board OKs Jericho Road nonprofit project
By Jonathan D. Epstein|Published Wed, Jan 17, 2018
The Buffalo Planning Board on Tuesday evening approved a request by a charitable foundation working on behalf of Jericho Road Community Health Center to combine two properties on Lombard and Clark streets as part of its renovation of a former department store into a medical clinic and nonprofit office space.
Mosaic 659 Foundation, founded by Jericho board member Mark Herskind of Baillie Lumber, plans to merge 243 Lombard and 224 Clark - which share a "party wall" - so that it can create an efficient third-floor clinic for Jericho Road in what had been the former Jahraus-Braun Department Store and later Zoltie's Furniture store building.
The remaining 35,000 square feet of the three- and four-story complex could be used by a group of 12 other nonprofits that want to co-locate with Jericho Road.

My good friend Kent over at Tiny House Blog has been working on a neat project for a while now: Tiny House Magazine. I've heard rave reviews about it and everything I've seen has been really amazing looking. Each month Kent puts out an electronic magazine that covers some really awesome tiny houses and other neat topics.
Couldn't agree more. We saved up and bought our first house in our twenties. It was an utter mess!!! Two remodels and three houses later we're finally getting the hang of it. We intend to build one more time, it's so rewarding, so challenging, the stuff like is made of! Good luck you guys.
Where can I subscribe and receive this magazine?
I want to cancel my subscription. Send Owl automatically renewed my subscription and charged my credit card!
How does one suscribe to the magazine?
Does any of these subscriptions come as an actual magazine to look at/ read ?
I have the same question as some of you. Can I get an actual hard copy magazine or is it only available electronically (email)?
i purchased your magazine for a friend. everything is coming to me. how do i send the magazine to her email address?
Is your magazine open to freelance writers? If so what are the submission guidelines? Would like to pitch a piece if you are interested.
I am interested in finding a set of plans for a set of stairs that I have seen on some of the shows that I have viewed on TV. They are a series of six or seven boxes that act as steps but they are each an individual section that opens up at the top to form storage. You pull the first one out at the bottom and each successive box above pulls out one at a time to form a set of steps. Can anyone help me to find these plans?

Q: Finding prime numbers < n I'm working on Project Euler, problem 3.
The problem is:

"The prime factors of 13195 are 5, 7, 13 and 29. What is the largest
  prime factor of the number 600851475143?"

In answering this question, I'm breaking down the task to first find all prime numbers < x (in reverse).  Why does the following code not seem to work, I'm not sure if it is the logic or incorrect use of operator.
#A function to find prime numbers under n
def find_prime(n):
    for i in reversed(xrange(2, n)):
        if (n % i) != 0:
            print i

find_prime(n)

In testing, I also built a prime number checker for fun, so I have tested somewhat.
def prime_checker(n):
  if n > 2:
    for i in range (2,n):
      if (n % i) == 0:
        print "%s is not a prime number" % (n)
        break
      else:
        print "%s is a prime number" % (n)

Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong with the find_prime() function before I move on to the next step that I will use to solve the problem?

A: Before you start coding, maybe you should read up a bit on what you are dealing with. Primes are well studied. First of all, you do not need all the primes < x. Secondly, every time you find a divisor, you can divide the number by that and have a smaller problem on your hands. In the end, the number that will be left will be what you are looking for. Now, except for 2, no other even numbers are primes, so xrange(3, n, 2). Search some more and you'll find a solution that won't need the time of the universe to finish.

A: You can't tell whether a number is prime until you make it all the way through the loop without finding any divisors. You're reporting that a number is prime as soon as you find a number that doesn't divide it, but it might still be divisible by some higher number. Your code will say that all odd numbers are prime, because they aren't a multiple of 2.
Also, it's not necessary to go all the way to n in your range. None of the factors of a number can be greater than the square root of the number.
def prime_checker(n):
  if n > 2:
    for i in range (2, int(n ** .5)+1):
      if (n % i) == 0:
        print "%s is not a prime number" % (n)
        return false
  print "%s is a prime number" % (n)
  return true

Mulled Wine Gift Basket For Under $50: Make Your Own!
Finding the right Christmas gift can be extremely hard sometimes. I try my best to give people thoughtful gifts that they'll actually use and enjoy, and yet, I still have a lot of friends and family that are very difficult to buy for. No one wants a gift that they won't use or enjoy. So in order to avoid a gift that's given just for the sake of gifting, I've come up with a new tradition. Instead of giving stuff to others, I'm gifting them an experience!
One of my favorite go-to gifts for the holidays is giving people a gift basket with a great holiday-themed recipe. That way they can use it for themselves or to spread the holiday cheer. I'm sure you've all seen the chocolate-chip-cookie-mix-in-a-jar gift. Let's just take that idea and go a little bit farther with it.
I'm talking about a mulled wine kit in a basket. Pretty fun, right?
I love drinking spiced, mulled wine during the holidays. It's just so festive. But it's also not something people think about doing on their own, am I right? That's where this gift basket comes in; it's everything you need to make mulled wine in a great looking gift basket. And what's even better? World Market has everything you need to make it. No need to trek to multiple stores or specialty markets.
Step 1. First things first, you'll need a good looking basket to put everything in. Then you'll want to line the basket with some pretty linens. A lot of people use tissue paper, but I think using a pretty tea towel is way more versatile, not to mention long lasting.
Step 2. Now for the recipe ingredients. You'll need a tasty bottle of red wine and this great holiday mulled punch. World Market also has a ready-to-go mulling spice mixture available. I like to fancy it up with some star anise and cinnamon sticks. Then I add the whole thing into a pretty decorative jar. Don't forget the honey!
Step 3. Next, add a couple of nice mugs to serve the wine in. These double wall glass mugs will do the trick! Don't forget to add a copy of your recipe for them to follow.
Step 4. Throw a ribbon and a gift tag on it and call it a day!


ComicChameleon - Now Available for Iphone!
If you like reading comics on your phone, you know that reading on the web is not always ideal. Thankfully, if you have an iphone, there's now a solution! ComicChamelon has finally launched and you can get updates from Questionable Content, Hijinks Ensue, Girls With Slingshots, Yours Truly :D and many more awesome comics.
Guys, I'm really excited to have Wasted Talent as part of the launch lineup, and I strongly recommend you give this app a try. It's built with the goal of giving the readers the best possible reading experience, and it's fair to creators (where so SO many apps have gone without our permission and not been so fair). Please check it out!
