BUBBA (stylized in all caps) is the second studio album by the Canadian electronic music producer Kaytranada, released by RCA Records on December 13, 2019. The album's release was preceded by the release of the single "10%" which featured singer Kali Uchis, which was released on December 9, 2019. In the lead-up to the album release, Igloofest, a winter music festival, announced Kaytranada as a surprise guest. Just after the album release, Kaytranada announced a one-day pop-up shop and DJ set in Montreal.

It won a Grammy award for the Best Dance/Electronic Album category, while its single "10%" featuring Kali Uchis won Best Dance Recording at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards on March 14, 2021. At the Juno Awards of 2021, it won the award for Dance Recording of the Year.

Recording
In an interview with GQ, Kaytranada said that recording Bubba was a very different process to his previous album. Previously, songs would be edited on his laptop and sent remotely to collaborating artists for them to add their own ideas. With Bubba, recordings took place mainly in-studio with both the producer and the artist present. As a result, Kaytranada had to adapt to creating chemistry and personal relationships with artists in the studio.

In an interview with GQ, Kaytranada revealed that some of the artists on the previous album 99.9% turned down reappearances on Bubba. This changed the direction of the entire album, as it instead focused on the "Kaytranada sound", searching for and evolving his personal style of music. The result is a unique blend of neo-soul, hip-hop, Afrobeat, and other varying genres in a dance style that the artist describes as "funky".

Musical style and themes
The Haitian-born Canadian producer Kaytranada expands on the house and techno genres to create modern Disco tracks, using what Billboard describes as an "inventive, funk-meets-electronica sound". An NPR review noted that, rather than adhering to any single genre, the album morphs between Afrobeat, house, funk, R&B, disco, hip hop, and others. These are ubiquitous styles found in the Nigerian popular genre, from where Afrobeat gains its heritage. Bubba relies on its Afrobeat elements to "build a physical experience" in its bass and instrumentation, and feels "chameleonic" in its range. The album is commonly described as "trance-like" and "psychedelic". In a Pitchfork review, it was said to "[push] the audience's boundaries away from what they are comfortable with".

Atwood Magazine noted that while Kaytranada's style is categorized as electronica, he deviates from the genre's usual audience of music festival goers, instead focusing on diversity and blending together different genres on each track. The Nation identified overarching themes of love, culture, and hiding behind masks, summarizing the album as thematically disconnected but emotionally "human". Individual songs do not thematically blend, but transition musically; for instance, consecutive tracks "What You Need" and "Vex Oh" give almost opposing views on love. Crack Magazine and NPR identify connections between Kaytranada's use of backbeats and synthesizers, and the evolution of R&B and post-Disco club music from the 1980s, especially in early underground DJs.

Kaytranada revealed the album was influenced by the events in his life after the release of 99.9%, including opening up about his sexuality, coming to terms with his newfound fame, and dealing with anxiety, stress, and depression as a result. Bubba focuses on themes of loneliness and being an outcast, which Kinfolk states to be what appeals most to his audience.

Promotion
In the first year of its release, Bubba topped Billboards Dance/Electronic Albums Chart. Kaytranada spoke out about his experience continuing producing for RCA records despite his experiences with depression from touring to promote his previous album.

The album was preceded by the single "10%". This was followed by Kaytranada touring in Australia in January 2020 as part of the FOMO festival line-up in Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. More tour dates included the III Points Festival in Miami, Florida in May 2020, and the REBEL Entertainment complex in Toronto, Ontario, though both dates were postponed indefinitely due to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.

Reception

Bubba received critical acclaim upon its release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized score out of 100 to all reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 82, based on 7 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". Jonah Bromwich from Pitchfork compared the album to 99.9%, describing it as "another set of coherent, well-sequenced set of tracks without any major drop-offs, all the more impressive as the album runs more than 50 minutes", and writing that Kaytranada "blesses this woeful decade with one last great dance record." Max Freedman from Paste commented on the queer sound of the album, noting that "it's hard not to read some of its traits as directly stemming from just how much happens in the first three years after someone comes out." NPR described the album as "deeply human", a "welcome nod to the roots of dance music", and having a "last call", "end-of-the-night" feeling.

NMEs review summarizes the album as being aimed more at Kaytranada's existing fans, rather than appealing to a new fan base. Paste magazine writes that "Bubba" does not deviate much from the formula established by "99.9%". Clash Magazine also critiqued the album's brevity and unevenness. Some reviewers critiqued the closing track, "Midsection" (featuring Pharrell Williams), as being musically disconnected from the rest of the album.

Impact

NPR writes that in the 1980s, club DJs needed to constantly satisfy a dynamic crowd with dynamic music. The innovations that were developed during this period are still relied upon by artists today. Tracks from Bubba, such as "What You Need", demonstrate the relevance of producers' ability to meet the ever-changing needs of the crowd. In a Rolling Stone review of the album, it is stated that the 80s track chopping techniques allow Kaytranada to express his own personal journey over the last four years. Kinfolk writes that the disco theme appeals to alternative and individual crowds, to which Kaytranada feels a sense of belonging, whilst the R&B and House elements of his music incorporate a much broader crowd. This achieves an overall sense of giving comfort to outsiders of a community through music, as interpreted by NPR.

The blend between R&B and Afrobeat production on the album develops tracks into music that isn't just heard but is also felt as NPR states. NPR also writes that listening to the album becomes a physical experience of feeling the thumping beat and hearing the melodic accompaniment.

Alternatively, some reviewers feel that elements of the album do not work together and at times production elements can get in the way of each other as a review by KEYMAG states. In this review, KEYMAG reviews the album as "stifled with moments of utter inertia". KEYMAG similarly lends some criticism to "Midsection" and the incorporation of Pharrell Williams' falsetto into the track.

Rolling Stone lists Kaytranada collaborating with a range of artists on Bubba such as Pharrell Williams, Tinashe, GoldLink, Estelle, Mick Jenkins, SiR, Charlotte Day Wilson, Iman Omari, Masego, VanJess, Ari PenSmith, Eight9fly, Durand Bernarr, and Teedra Moses. Forbes notes that this is quite a large guest list for an R&B album. Forbes writes that this album demonstrates Kaytranada's ability to visualise the songs in their rudimentary stages and determine which artist suits the final version of the song.

Kaytranada perceives vocals and lyrics as another instrument rather than as a vehicle for meaning. His collaboration with a range of artists and the way he uses their voices demonstrates that he values the sounds and texture that vocals add to songs rather than the meaning that lyrics can convey. On Bubba, he frequently uses the voices of his collaborators to reference the sounds of the early 2000s.

Kaytranada stated in an interview with Pitchfork that he wanted the audience to be able to feel the sense of collaboration and chemistry between himself and the individual artists which change on each track.

The Bottom Line By Andrew S. Ross
Another day, another store closing in the heart of downtown San Francisco.
But before we despair over the imminent shutdown of Pearl Paint - as reported above - there are glimmers of hope for the notoriously depressed area known as Mid-Market.
First, a different art supplies store, Blick Art Materials, is scheduled to open on Market Street, between Fifth and Sixth streets, just two doors west of Pearl, this summer. "We've always been confident about Market Street," said Bart Veghts, retail director for the Illinois-based national chain.
Veghts wouldn't say which month the store opens - "we still have to go through construction" - but confirmed the new site, the company's fourth in the Bay Area, is very much on track. More details to come, including the disposition of Blick's existing San Francisco store on Van Ness Avenue, in the next few days.
Promise and peril: The news was especially welcome to David Rhoades, principal at Urban Realty Co. Inc., who is heading a proposed 250,000-square-feet retail project on the same side of Market Street as Blick. "They're a great operator," said Rhoades.
As to his project, called CityPlace, which we have written about before, Rhoades said there has been "tremendous support" from surrounding businesses and neighborhood groups. It also has the attention of Mayor Gavin Newsom, who is pushing hard to make that stretch of Market Street part of what he has called "San Francisco's Champs-Élysées." The CityPlace development is "top of the list," said Newsom, during an interview with The Chronicle on Monday.
It does have a ways to go, however, including a going-over by the city's Planning Commission, which has yet to schedule a substantive hearing on the project. And there's one potential project-killer that recently reared its unlovely head: the so-called "shadow" ballot initiative introduced by Board of Supervisors President David Chiu. The proposed measure would stop all new developments that would cast various city parks and sites in some shadow, including Hallidie Plaza, whose sunlight would be partially blocked by the CityPlace project.
"This isn't good," said Rhoades. "We're hopeful further discussions to address the unintended consequences (of the initiative), and we hope there'll be steps taken to correct them."

One indication of how strongly that hope stays alive may come at a scheduled Board of Supervisors committee hearing on the matter on Thursday.
Helping hands: If you're a trifle peckish, in the Daly City area and looking to do your bit for Haiti relief, you might to stop by Moonstar Buffet today.
All proceeds from lunch and dinner (seafood the specialty; $20 minimum) are going to Catholic Relief Services and its efforts in the quake-ravaged country. "I'm asking all my friends to join me," said owner Daisy Li, in what she calls "$20 for Haiti: Get Fed, Save Lives." CRS and the Archdiocese of San Francisco are co-hosting the event at the 500-seat restaurant, and a number of local officials from Daly City, Colma and San Francisco will be on hand.
Lunch, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Dinner, 5-9 p.m. 383 Gellert Blvd., Daly City.
And AT&T Inc. is waiving cell phone charges for relief workers in Haiti using the company's services. The waiver is retroactive to Jan. 12, when the earthquake hit, and will be in effect until Feb. 28.
Meanwhile, AT&T customers have so far contributed more than $12.3 million via $10 text donations, according to the company. That's on top of $160,000 in employee donations and $150,000 in company grants to Télécoms Sans Frontières in Haiti.

WORK DESCRIPTION: Saw-cut asphalt pavement in preparation for replacing several sanitary sewer services.
LOCAL IMPACTS: The westbound travel lane will be closed in the vicinity of the work. Flaggers will direct traffic around the work zone. The work site will shift as crews move from one service to the next.


In Bee Movie, a college graduate bee named Barry, realizes he wants more from life than working at the company hive in New York's Central Park. Barry (voiced by Jerry Seinfeld) is impressed with the pollen jocks, a select group of macho bees who get the gals; despite his scrawny shape, he tags along on a dangerous mission to bring home pollen. On his first day, Barry narrowly escapes death when he's rescued by Vanessa, a bee-loving florist (voiced by Renee Zellweger). Vanessa takes him to a supermarket, where Barry discovers that humans are stealing and selling honey, so Barry decides to sue the humans for injustice, adding a little legal sting to the plot. Eventually, the bees win -- yay for the little guy -- but justice is not so sweet when the flowers all over the world begin to die, since the striking bees will no longer pollinate for free. Barry high tails it to California and hijacks a Rose Parade float so that he can bring enough blooms back to New York to save the flowers from extinction. With humor that Seinfeld fans and their little hordes will appreciate, we have a feeling this film will leave its mark on the holiday season.
With all our kids a buzz about the Bee Movie, we decided to stage an after-dinner honey tasting right in our own home. We didn't have to go far afield - trolling at both the local farmers' markets and our our local gourmet grocery produced several intriguing varietals. We ended up with 4 different flavors: black sage, orange blossom, pure lavender and thyme. After dinner one evening, we cut up apples and bite-sized pieces of bread, and then poured each honey into its own small bowl asking everyone to rate their taste of honey. While there was no consensus as to the favorite (split between the mellow orange blossom and the unique lavender), there was a unanimous last (thyme). While a honey tasting may not fit everyone's definition of culture, doing something new and different together as a family always rates high on our sweet meter.
Why this Film is Worth It: Everyone will laugh along with Jerry Seinfeld in this gentle tale about a bee that gets buzzing mad at the world's injustices and manages to do something about it. With voices by Renee Zellweger, Chris Rock, Matthew Broderick and John Goodman, we found ourselves well-amused. Great for even young children.
Red Flags: One little bee stings a human, and they think he's going to die, but this is a funny, mild detail.
COOL FACT: Parents will enjoy the offbeat ads that surround the release of the film, such as the HP computer ads, which refer to Jerry Seinfeld's contractual obligations to the product tie-ins.
Cinema Savvy: Jerry Seinfeld has laid low since the end of Seinfeld, and this film represents a big return for him. He always pushes the envelope of expectation (in fact, since his eponymous show finished, he has performed stand-up around the country) and to return in an animated children's movie continues the funny-man's iconoclastic tradition.
Backlot Humor: In one of the early trailers for the movie, Seinfeld is portrayed in a huge bee suit, hanging off a set on a Hollywood sound stage. The joke is that he complains to producer Stephen Spielberg that "nobody will buy me as a bee" and Stephen says "why don't you do it in animation". The film's genesis was a word play on "B-Movie" the old term for a low-budget Genre film.
What worked for us: It's interesting to learn about different kinds of honey and for kids to realize that one honey can taste totally different than another. Discuss the basics with them (types of flowers, etc.) and then let them loose so they can decide on their own what they like. It's always fun to compare notes after the fact.
Honey at local Farmers' Markets: We purchase local varietals at our local Farmers' Market, several of which have other products like lip balm and body creams. Honey and its byproducts make great holiday gifts! Click here to find a farmers market near you.
Where to find honey in the store: Whole Foods has plenty of offerings on the shelf and Crate and Barrel has an affordable selection of honeys for a home tasting. Click here to purchase online. The National Honey Board's website Honey Locator is a great tool for finding and ordering unique types of honey as well as local honey.
How to Organize a Honey Tasting: Kids seem to love the honey spread on toast or sliced apples. We offered them both (try artisinal bread, cut into smaller pieces). Then, pour each honey (we served four) into different small bowls. Ask each taster to rate the honeys in order of preference and then, compare notes. The kids' reasons why they liked one and not another were much more eloquent than we expected; it seems we have raised a gourmet generation. It was so successful that we plan to taste with a larger group around our Thanksgiving table.
Chicago: The SciTech Museum in Aurora, IL recently added a Working Bee Hive Exhibit to their impressive collection of scientific exhibits for kids. Kids can view thousands of worker bees and their queen through a heavy-duty display case as they bring nectar and pollen home to make honey. This exhibit is free with the $8 cost of admission and open Tuesday through Sunday.

Nottingham Trent University have won two prestigious Green Apple awards for the development of urban gardens across the City site and energy saving in the new Pavilion at Clifton.
Nottingham Trent University have received two prestigious Green Apple awards in a ceremony held at The Crystal in London, one of the most sustainable buildings in the UK.
A gold award was given to our 'Greening the City' project which aims to create a green corridor through our City site, linking the Arboretum with the city centre. We also received a bronze award for the Clifton Pavilion in recognition for its energy saving credentials.
The Greening the City project was born from student requests to have better outdoor spaces to study and relax on the city site, which is in Nottingham city centre. Of the eleven sites identified for improvement, two have already been completed. The Boots Library roof garden, designed by NTU Horticulture students, offers a space for students to take time out from the hustle and bustle of University life. It is Wi-Fi enabled to allow students to study in the sunshine and has a covered area if the weather is inclement.
The Dryden Corner garden has transformed an unattractive patch of land into a destination for lunch, relaxing with a book, or meeting up with friends. The garden, designed by NTU alumnus and Chelsea Flower Show Gold winner Jackie Setchfield, has proved to be popular with staff, students and passers-by. Both gardens incorporate planting to enhance biodiversity on campus, with insect-friendly trees and flowers, and have plenty of seating to allow students to use the spaces for group work, quiet reading or socialising.
The Pavilion at Clifton Campus is one of the first buildings in the Higher Education sector to generate more electricity than it consumes – a truly carbon negative building! The project saw the demolition and refurbishment of large parts of the University's George Eliot building and transforming it into a space that is bright, airy and offers flexibility of use for teaching, collaborating and socialising. The bronze award recognises the achievement of creating a sustainable building that has set a new benchmark for future development at the University.
NTU was the only university to receive an award, with other winners coming from the world of architecture and industry including Kier Construction, Wessex Water and Aldi.


The cemetery is located to the west of the church building. It is the resting place of more than 3,000 people. The exact date of establishment is unknown, but the earliest known burial took place in the mid 1700s. Some of the founding members of the church and some of its ministers were laid to rest here.
While online records are not available, the office administrator and members of the Cemetery Committee (who are responsible for the management and upkeep of the cemetery) will be happy to help you locate the grave of someone interred here and provide you with any pertinent information we may have about that person.
If you want to locate a particular grave, or if you are interested in procuring burial rights for yourself or someone you know, please contact the church office at (717) 656-9249 or by email at info@salemhellers.com.


The work on our Extreme Home Makeover continues on. We are really making progress on this project. About a dozen volunteers had a great time painting the inside and trimming the outside of the home. Taylor County Nursing Home provided a great lunch and volunteers had a day of laughter and getting covered in paint. The weather was fine and, since it was overcast for most of the day, it didn't get too hot.
This day was by far one of the easiest and most fun days of our project. Brian Hatin and Cathy Logue were on hand to help us with the trim work for the vinyl siding. Inside, several volunteers tackled the painting. They made sure to make a mess of themselves and had a ball doing it. As usual, Angie Doan brought neck coolers for everyone and Gary Moulton was wonderful enough to bring the food and drinks from Taylor County Nursing Home. We want to say a special thank you to these two dedicated volunteers who have been at the site almost every Saturday since we started this project. We are almost done and we are looking forward to the day that this family gets to move back into their newly renovated home.

Established in 2015, the CCP Women's Network aims to actively promote women's roles in the Programme and foster an inclusive dialogue around female participation, leadership, empowerment, and freedom from discrimination in a sector often dominated by men. The CCP Women's Network encourages measures such as gender-sensitized recruitment criteria, flexible working hours, an inter-PCU support network and a training module on gender as a mandatory part of the core training. Members of the network can share information and discuss ideas via a WhatsApp messaging platform. In addition, the Women's Network Newsletter keeps PCU and ACCU officers, donors, private sector partners, civil society and other relevant stakeholders regularly updated on issues and recent developments regarding gender, workplace equality and professionalism. Finally, the CCP regularly evaluates the gender balance in all offices, PCUs, ACCUs and training events to assess the impact of interventions.
In October 2019, coinciding with CCP's 15th anniversary, a new initiative was launched within the framework of the Women's Network. The�CCP Champions for Change (C4C)�initiative takes lead from existing gender champion endeavors to establish a network of women and men affiliated with the CCP who commit to the ideals of gender equality and the betterment of women's working conditions.�The women and men that become Champions will ideally be PCU and ACCU officers, CCP staff and trainers who volunteer to actively promote and encourage gender equality in their everyday work. Upon volunteering, a Champion will make a pledge committing to gender equality. As CCP celebrates its 15th�anniversary, the Programme must be forward-thinking. Over the next 15 years, the Programme wants to see a culture of greater inclusivity and diversity. The Champions for Change can be one of many steps forward to achieve this endeavour.

Historic Country flags
Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina flag (1992 - 1998)
About the Independent Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina flag
On 6 April 1992 Bosnia and Herzegovina gained its independence from Yugoslavia and a new flag. The flag picked was the arms of the Kings of Bosnia, who ruled from 1377 until 1463 over the area that is present day Bosnia-Herzegovina and Dalmatia, consisted of a blue shield with six gold fleur de lys displayed around a white bend; the fleur de lys perhaps symbolic of Lilium bosniacum, which is a native lily to the area.
The flag chosen in 1992 has a white background with the Bosnian Fleur-de-lis in the center. The Bosnian Serbs and Bosnian Croats who lived in Bosnia-Herzegovina after the signing of the Dayton Agreement, viewed the flag as only representing the Bosniaks (formerly: Bosnian Muslims) of Bosnia-Herzegovina, even though the flag was taken from the medieval Bosnian state. The flag had to be eventually changed into the current day flag. The new flag was introduced by the UN High Representative after the Parliament of Bosnia-Herzegovina could not decide on a solution acceptable to all. The new flag contains no historical or other references to the Bosnian state.

Negotiating Portland's Development Projects with John Russell
Portland, Oregon gets a lot of attention for our strategic and efficient land-use planning and we are known as one of the greenest and most livable cities in the world. We've invested in and revitalized places like the Pearl District and Alberta, and they are highly desirable places to live, shop and eat. Portland is a city that strives for equitable and healthy communities, but are those goals tangible enough to get the work done? What will it take to move forward with projects like the Memorial Coliseum and Centennial Mills, which have been hot topics of discussion for decades? Brian Libby will moderate this program, while John Russell addresses these development issues and provides us with his ideas to keep development moving forward in our city, while keeping Portland's values intact.

Церко́вная фа́брика () — часть церковного имущества, предназначенная для церковно-строительных и богослужебных целей.

История
В первые века христианства все церковное имущество предназначалось на служение всем нуждающимся в призрении. Как миряне, так и духовные лица, если они не имели собственных средств и не могли существовать на свой заработок, жили исключительно на счёт церковного имущества. Из этого же источника покрывались церковно-строительные и богослужебные издержки.

Значительно увеличившееся с торжеством христианства церковное имущество уже в V веке делится на четыре части, из коих одна часть идёт в пользу епископа (), другая — в пользу клира (), третья — в пользу бедных () и четвёртая — в пользу фабрики, то есть на церковно-строительные и богослужебные издержки ().

Позднее, с образованием приходов, аналогичный раздел имущества происходит и в них: здесь различают двоякое имущество — служащее для обеспечения приходского богослужения и идущее на содержание духовных должностных лиц в приходе. Канонисты в каждом из этих имуществ усмотрели субстрат для двух фиктивных лиц, из которых первое назвали фабрикой, а другое — бенефицией. Кроме вышеуказанной квоты из церковного имущества, доход фабрик как епископской церкви, так и приходской составлялся из сборов, производимых во время богослужения, и из сумм, взимаемых церковью за продажу могильных мест, за колокольный звон, за отдачу в наем стульев и вообще мест для сидения в церквях

Фабрика имеет целью поддержание церковных строений; но в случае её несостоятельности эта обязанность (Baulast) возлагалась субсидиарно ещё со времён франкского государства на целый ряд лиц, начиная с владельцев церковной недвижимости и кончая общиной мирян. Регламентирование этой строительной тягости впервые было сделано Триентским собором, по определению которого она в патронатских церквях лежит на патроне, а в тех церквах, где патрона нет, — на целой градации лиц, субсидиарно обязанных. Каждое из них обязано под страхом цензур и даже гражданских наказаний прийти на помощь фабрике.

Управление фабрикой в епархиях принадлежало капитулам, в приходах — парохам. В разных странах был привлечён к более или менее деятельному участию в управлении фабрикой и мирской элемент. Раньше, чем в других странах, произошло это во Франции, где для управления делами фабрики выбирались с согласия духовенства особые администраторы — так называемые маргильеры.

Революция, секуляризовав церковное имущество, уничтожила фабрику; но в 1801 году по конкордату с папой церковные имущества были возвращены и фабрики восстановлены. В 1803 году было указано, что возвращённое фабрике имущество должно состоять под управлением маргильеров, назначаемых префектом по представлению мэра или кюре.

Управление фабрикой
В настоящее время управление делами фабрики ведут:
 совет фабрики ()
 бюро маргильеров ()
В состав совета входят, во-первых, непременные члены — кюре и местный мэр; во-вторых, члены переменные, числом 9 или 5, смотря по численности членов общины. Из числа маргильеров 5 из 9 или 3 из 5 назначаются епископом, остальные — префектом. Срок службы — 6-летний. Совет из своей среды избирает председателя, но ни кюре, ни мэр им быть не могут.

Бюро маргильеров есть власть исполнительная. В его состав входят кюре и три члена, выбранные советом из своей среды. Бюро выбирает себе председателя (не кюре), секретаря и казначея. Через год один из маргильеров выходит по жребию и заменяется новым из состава совета. Вследствие взгляда французского законодательства на фабрику как на «публичное установление, существование которого может лечь бременем на бюджет общин и государства», фабрики во Франции подлежит большим стеснениям и контролю со стороны государственной власти.

В других католических странах управление фабрикой зависит от системы отношений между государством и церковью, но в основном находится в руках церковной общины. В евангелической церкви фабрика принципиально существует, но управление ею ничем не отличается от управления другими церковными имуществами и принадлежит церковной общине. В православных церквах Востока, как и России, фабрики как специального имущества для покрытия церковно-строительных и богослужебных издержек не существовало и не существует.

Azure bills themselves as a "Vacation" style restaurant. I'm not sure what that means, but I suppose it means island-ish food. Azure is a fairly small place, but not tiny. Basically two long narrow rooms, the first being more bar, and the second being tables. There were ten of us and they put us in a spot right in front in the non-bar room. It was fairly secluded and nice so we were able to talk to each other. It is a nice place to get a group together.
I got a big margarita, which came in a pint glass. It wasn't great (I've lived in Texas and been to Mexico a bunch of times, so I know what a great margarita tastes like), but for a non-Mexican restaurant in Philly, it was great. On the rocks with no salt. Not quite sour enough, but nice and strong. I ordered the soup of the day, which was a New England clam and oyster chowder. It was surprisingly good. There were alot of carrots in there, and I don't like cooked carrots, but I even ate those. There were big chunks of clams and oysters and it was thick and creamy.
For an entree I got the grilled filet mignon tips. I don't like my meat raw so I ordered it almost well done. It came out great, cooked, but still tender. They served it with a bunch of greens, flour tortillas, a "refried roasted corn risotto cake", and a chipotle aioli. The aioli I didn't really use at all, and the greens were plain. But I ate up the filet and corn cake. A few others got the same meal, but in the seitan meat-free option. We all weren't sure what to do with the tortillas. Were we supposed to make a little fajita or taco? The meat comes out more in chunks, and not in strips, so we all improvised. A few others ordered the scallops, which now that I look at the picture, look absolutely delicious. Don't you love the rosemary garnish sticking out of the middle? The jerk chicken sandwich looks great too. I'm getting hungry just looking at it! HA! I was too stuffed for any dessert, but we had a birthday girl amongst us and she got a brownie type cake which looked great. I just couldn't take another bite! Azure also has a special running Monday and Tuesday nights where you get two entrees and a pitcher of beer or a bottle of wine for $30. That's a great deal!
Azure is right in the heart of Northern Liberties on 2nd street. It's literally next to North Bowl, the still fairly new hipster bowling joint. Being Friday night, we knew it was going to be packed, and even if we wanted to bowl, we would have had to wait at least 30 minutes, so we passed on that. The Standard Tap is also a few steps down the street too, but being a small place that was obviously crowded, we also passed on that.
That's how we ended up at the Foodery. The original Foodery being in Center City, this is the Northern Liberties arm that opened last summer. It stocks hundreds, if not thousands of different beers from all over the world. I'm a big lambic fan, so I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they had my favorite Lindeman's Peche, but also an apple flavored lambic that I never knew even existed. For those of you new to lambic, it's basically a fruit based ale from Belgium (there are others, but these are the most popular and well known) historically made from spontaneous fermentation. Meaning that they don't add yeast, there's just natural yeast in the area where they brew the lambic that causes the magic to happen.
My apple lambic was light, sweet, and very smooth going down. It can get you in trouble because it tastes like juice but has alcohol, so sometimes you don't even realize how f'd up you get. Some others in the group tried Taj Mahal beer, which had a picture of the Taj Mahal on it. It was hilarious. There was also Tiger Beer from Singapore, Big Daddy, and the Blithering Idiot. All in all, it was a great night of good food, good drink, and good company.
I forgot all about Lambic. I used to drink it at the Barking Spider. Super yummy!
Bravo! Well done! Glad to know you had a good time. Looking forward to seeing you on St. Patty's Day!
Azure is a good place for happy hour and dinner in No. Libs. I have numerous post on my blog about food and drinks I've enjoyed there. Glad to see you like it too. Check out my blog later this week for a post on Brunch @ Azure.


One week ago today, liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans in the U.S. Senate reached across a huge political divide and shook hands.
That bipartisan gesture might end up being the high point in a bold immigration reform effort.
It's a major achievement when 12 senators from the two parties - including Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. - are willing to compromise.
This unlikely coalition has produced a 380-page framework for quickly legalizing the estimated 12 million undocumented immigrants in the United States and tightening the borders in the future.
Opponents on both sides wasted no time tearing the draft agreement apart, calling it an "amnesty" bill, protesting that is was formulated in "secret" and demanding extended debate.
However, this bipartisan compromise offers the best chance for meaningful change.
Immigration reform is complex and emotional, but ultimately, it's highly political and very personal.
While lawmakers disagree and negotiate about amnesty and the implications of 18,000 new Border Patrol agents and still more fencing between the U.S. and Mexico, not enough of the conversation is practical.
How realistic is it to expect workers at the bottom of the economic scale to spend $4,500 in fees and fines for completing the legalization process?
In the future, those applying to be legal immigrants would be judged on a merit-based point system emphasizing education, skill levels and background. How fair would it be to make family ties a secondary priority?
It's this last provision that prompted Feinstein - cognizant of California's $32 billion agricultural industry - to amend the deal with a pilot project that would legalize 1.5 million farm workers. She rightfully worried that agriculture would be negatively impacted otherwise.
There is understandable confusion in San Joaquin County's Spanish-speaking migrant community.
The federal proposal is so layered and complicated that few can understand it, including officials of agencies that assist immigrants, both legal and illegal.
Some farm workers, hearing only incomplete information and rumors, already want to apply for the new "Z" visas. They don't exist because the Senate proposals still are a long way from becoming law.
There is concern that some unscrupulous individuals might start taking advantage of the confusion, offering illegal immigrants nothing for something.
Washington politicians, far removed from those who would be affected most directly by these proposals, are more concerned with getting reform legislation passed than with being pragmatic.
What the 12 senators have proposed is better than the status quo, which includes a porous border, national security dangers and a perilous situation for those willing to trade poverty in Mexico for poverty in the United States.
The senators consider the proposed bill a major achievement. So does President Bush, who has been seeking immigration reform for two years.
The many critics disagree, and it's unlikely this bill will emerge intact from eventual reconciliation with proposals and amendments in the House of Representatives.
Republicans want to know why those who have broken the law should be rewarded with a pathway to citizenship.
Democrats worry about creating a permanent group of second-class residents trapped in low-wage, low-skilled jobs without hope of achieving the American prosperity their labor supports.
Extremists on both sides need to consider compromise and locate acceptable middle ground.
What's unfolding isn't very different from the 1986 amnesty program of President Reagan. Three million illegal immigrants found legal status while the promise of tighter borders went unrealized. Now there are 12 million illegal immigrants.
The plans under consideration face substantial criticism, amending and obstruction.
If bipartisan reform legislation actually passes the House and Senate and is signed into law by Bush, its architects must make sure that its provisions are enforced so that 20 years from now there won't be 48 million illegal immigrants.
That's going to require a lot more than a handshake.

Most Haunted Places in Utah
This guest post was written by Oskar from GhostlyPursuits.com (*I suggest you check it out!)
Sandstone desert, rocky cliffs, snow-covered peaks, and football rivalry are some of the things that come to my mind when I think about Utah. I am sure most of you can conjure up images of nature's beautiful creations when thinking about the Salt Lake City. While Utah is admired for being nature's perfect playground, there's one more thing the city is notorious for — spooky sightings, errr ghosts! While most people will not remember Utah for its paranormal phenomena, if you are like me, you will probably want to dig deeper into the bone-chilling stories and maybe even look forward to visiting one of the most haunted sites in the city. For some inexplicable reason, the darker side of the world and spooky stories excite me and Utah has plenty of them. From Brigham Young Farmhouse and Ted Bundy's old residence to the haunted cemetery, there's so much to explore. If you are a thrill seeker, here are some of the most haunted places in Utah that you may consider visiting — if you dare!
Ben Lomond Hotel, Ogden, Utah
The Ben Lomond Hotel is one of the most haunted sites in Utah. It was once a popular haunt for prostitutes and corrupt people. The locals believe that there are two ghosts haunting the hotel. One spirit is that of a hotel employee who fell off the elevator and died unnaturally. People say his ghost still travels through the elevator which is seen moving up and down during odd hours with no one in it. Another popular story is that of a mother and son. When a bride died due to an unexplained reason in room no 1102, her son came to take her belongings and stayed in the next room. He committed suicide in room no 1103 as he was overwhelmed by grief. Guests have heard strange sounds coming from the room and even heard faucets turned on in the rooms. Would you dare visit the hotel and walk in the 11th-floor lobby at midnight?
Brigham Young Farmhouse, Utah
I personally find this story absolute spine-chilling. Imagine buying a house and being photographed with the owner, only to discover later that there's no one in the photo except you. The Utah house was built in 1863 and it was mainly used for throwing lavish parties. In 1950, it was bought by a young couple - Mrs. and Mr. Willcox who are known to experience eerie sensations throughout the house. At a dinner party, they once met a man dressed in 1880s clothing and they had an interesting conversation together. They were photographed but when the photos were developed, the couple was seen standing alone! How creepy is that? That's not all the house staff has also sighted numerous other ghosts on different occasions. The ballroom was a favorite playing area for kids and people have heard children laughter, piano sounds and music coming from the room.
Capitol Theatre, Utah
Who would imagine sighting a ghost in a theatre? Not me! Well, just be careful if you plan to take your data for a musical evening in the Capitol Theatre. While the theatre is famous for its opulence, architecture and historical significance, there's a spooky story associated with this place. When a fire broke out during a show in 1949, the basement of the theatre was destroyed and six hundred people were evacuated. A seventeen-year-old staff Richard Duffin was busy trying to put out the fire that raged for almost an hour. He couldn't make it out on time but he saved many lives. He's regarded as a martyr and night guards have on several occasions seen the spirit of Duffin around the place where he took his last breath. The light flickers without any reason and the elevator is often seen functioning without anybody inside.
Ted Bundy's House, Utah
I have probably repeated many times by now so you already know that I am a sucker for spooky stories. I have also extensively read on psychopathic murderers and Ted Bundy is one of the most unsolved mysteries in Utah's history. He has killed numerous women in the Salt Lake. Although he admitted only to 30 homicides, experts believe that his victims were in hundreds. Being a freaky fanatic, I visited the Ted Bundy's House in Emigration Canyon, which is reduced to a disturbing cellar. I was greeted by spine-tingling vibes with pentagram markings, evidence of satanic rituals, and traces of blood! Was that animal sacrifice or something else? No one knows! There are several spooky stories and eerie experiences associated with Ted Bundy's House in Utah. Go there at your own risk!
Armstrong Mansion, Utah
The mansion was built in the 1893 and is believed to be the first Salt Lake mansion belonging to the Armstrongs. They were affluent people who loved throwing lavish parties on their beautiful property. Today, the Mansion is open to guests who wish to enjoy a piece of history and feel the opulence enveloping the property. There's one more thing the mansion is famous for — mischievous ghosts! On many occasions, guests have reported that ghosts locked them inside rooms and played with the lights. The ghosts often show themselves in the mirror to say hi to the guests. Would you dare to greet back? Let me warn you that this is not for the faint hearts!
Mercur Cemetery, Tooele
Well, cemeteries are creepy and it's understandable why. However, when you have stories about paranormal activities in the area, it takes things to a different level altogether. This old cemetery is one of the most haunted places in Utah. There are spooky stories about sounds of horsemen galloping in the area at night. Visitors have also heard footsteps and seen eerie shadows. Interestingly, the cemetery is mostly haunted by children and it's unclear why.
Rio Grande Depot, Utah
Have you ever been cheated in love? Those who have experienced the pain will understand why 90 The Purple Lady' still haunts the Rio Grande Depot where her fiancé threw the engagement ring on the rail tracks after a fight. It is believed that the heartbroken woman still haunts ladies restrooms and other areas around the depot. Another ghost in Rio Grande Depot, Utah is that of a man who died during the construction of the depot's tunnel. His spirit seems to have been trapped under our feet.
Southern Utah University, Cedar City
This popular Utah university is known to be a hub of spooky stories and paranormal activities. One of the most popular tales is that of a ghostly pianist who can be often heard playing the Deep Purple' that she was supposed to perform in the junior prom, but she died just before the event. Another musical spirit is that of a woman known as Virginia and she can be often heard playing spine-chilling flute music. She is believed to have been murdered and thrown around a rock which was later used in the construction of the university building. Stories have it that she set the building on fire in 1948 on her 50th death anniversary. Would you dare wander alone in the Southern Utah University at night? So, there's my list of top 8 most haunted places in Utah. If you know some more, please share them in the comments below. Are you hungry for more haunted places?

Q: Icons, Asset Catalog and Info.plist confusion I have an app that started life for iOS 5 and has been updated ever since. For iOS 7 I have switched over to using an Asset Catalog for all the resources, which is nice and appears to work well. However, when I try to submit to Apple I get validation errors:

Invalid Image Path - No image found at the path referenced under key 'CFBundleIconFiles': 'Icon@2x.png'

I get the same error for the other icons, too. These icons do appear in the Asset Catalog and the names -- right down to the case -- match exactly as far as I can tell. The Asset Catalog is in the "Copy Bundle Resources" and all the resources appear in the right place when I run the app on both my iPhone and iPad (in iOS 7) and in the Simulator for iOS 6.
I have updated the app to use the minimum deployment target of iOS 6.
So, how do I successfully submit my update to Apple? Do I need the references in the Info.plist? Are there any other settings that I should check? Is the warning spurious and something that I should ignore (after raising a Radar)?

A: Okay, so here is what I ended up doing. I'm not 100% sure it's correct but I thought that it was worth sharing.

*

*I removed CFBundleIconFile, which I don't think is used in iOS 6 and above

*I used the asset name rather than the icon filename in CFBundleIconFiles
I'm not clear what the proper names are so, for the sake of clarity: by icon filename I mean the name visible in the Attribute Inspector of the Asset Catalog when the icon is selected; and by asset name I mean AppIcon, which refers to seven actual icons in my case.
This both passes Apple's validation step and appears to look okay. I don't currently have an iOS 6 device but it displays correctly in the Simulator.

A: When an asset catalog is compiled for iOS 6 and lower, the images are put in the root of the app bundle, as if you were just copying them the old way. When this happens, Apple names the images according to the asset name, rather than the filename, which means we can still use +[UIImage imageNamed:] to get the assets on iOS 6 and lower.
This is true for the App Icon asset, when we have the following icons set in our asset catalog:

They become compiled like so:

As iOS 6 is still iOS 6, these files must be referenced in the Info.plist, otherwise the existing system wouldn't work. Looking in the compiled Info.plist for this test app, you see that Xcode has added CFBundleIconFiles for us and so we don't need to.

I have uploaded the test project I used to github.com/danielctull-tests/AssetTest.

A: I had also a lot of Problems on this matter - I was constantly getting the error with the missing CFBundleIconName and that my Icons where not found. So here is my story, maybe it will be of help for somebody. By the way, I am using Visual Studio with Xamarin.

*

*Add an Asset Catalogue to your Project with AppIcons (the actual name of the asset is not important but just that it is for the application icons). Add all of the necessary icon sizes. For the 'App Store' icon I have added an icon without a @ in the name as someone in the forums suggested, but I am not sure, if it is 100% necessary. For generating the different icon sizes there are a lot of Websites and tools that can do that for you and you just need to provide the 1024x1024 one. They will generate the rest.

*In the Info.plist under 'Visual Assets' and then 'App Icons' set the source to the asset that you have just created.

*Now check your Info.plist. Do not open it with an external Editor, because all of your changes will be overwritten once you build your project. Do the following - right mouse click on the Info.plist in the Solution Explorer then select Open With -> Generic PList Editor.

*Check that you have the following entries:
-Property = CFBundleIconName, Type = String. Value = Assets.xcassets/AppIcons.appiconset
-Property = XSAppIconAssets, Type = String. Value = Assets.xcassets/AppIcons.appiconset

*Note that Visual Studio automatically adds, when it adds something altogether,  'Resources/Assets.xcassets/AppIcons.appiconset' as the Value. But in my case the Asset Catalog was created outside of the Resources folder and therefore, my icons where not found. So, check where your assets folder was created.

*CFBundleIconFiles was not needed, because Apple uses the Asset Catalog instead now.
I hope that I was of some help :)

The trees were full of them and something spooked them into flight.
Went to view the wildflowers and found this guy sunning itself.
While everyone else was snapping pictures of the Superstitions, I turned around and snapped this one of the east side of the McDowells.
The normally dry wash has a new look.
I am an Arizona native who has always enjoyed taking pictures. Capture My Arizona is a rewarding outlet for me. I am amazed at the quality and array of photographs. At first, I was quite hesitant to submit my pictures but everyone has been so encouraging. I know it will make me a better photographer and there is so much more of this beautiful State for me to explore!

ATSB Issues New Reports on Imagery From MH370 Search
News, Accident Investigation
"Probably man-made objects" spotted near search area.
by FSF Editorial Staff | August 17, 2017
Despite the suspension in January of the underwater search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (MH370), the Australian Transport Safety Board (ATSB) has released two reports stemming from "residual analysis activity" that identified "probably man-made" objects in imagery obtained near the search area.
The two reports include analysis of satellite imagery obtained on March 23, 2014, two weeks after the Boeing 777 disappeared over the Indian Ocean during a flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing with 239 passengers and crew.
In one of the reports, Geoscience Australia detailed its findings, which "identified a number of objects in the satellite imagery which have been classified as probably man-made," said Greg Hood, chief commissioner of the ATSB. "The image resolution is not high enough to be certain whether the objects originated from MH370 or are other objects that might be found floating in oceans around the world."
Because the objects were near the underwater search area, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation — the Australian government's agency for scientific research — conducted a drift study, which determined that on March 8, 2014, the day of the crash, the objects could have been in the area previously identified as the most likely location for the 777 to have entered the water.
"Clearly we must be cautious," Hood said. "These objects have not been definitely identified as MH370 debris."
Hood added that information in the two reports would be useful if the underwater search is resumed.

Her whole life had been one long battle. Against other children, bullies, her abusers. Forever the outsider, living her days isolated and lonely. She didn't know that while waging her own battles, another kind of war was coming.
He's either here to save her or bury her. But with no time to ask questions, she takes the plunge, grabs his hand, and prepares herself for a whole new world. One where she will be reborn.
I didn't look back when they called names. I ignored the sharp pain in my back, from the stones and empty soda cans they threw at me when I walked by. I kept my face hidden from them and controlled my tears by biting my tongue, until the familiar metallic taste flooded my mouth. It's what I always did.I was different, and the children within my small town hated me with a passion that I didn't rightfully understand at my young age.'Emma the elephant' and 'alien face' were amongst the common names that were used to describe me as a young child. It progressed and evolved to 'salad dodger' and 'wide load.' Though the one I was called the most was 'rat girl,' which was meant to be like Bat Girl, but it was more of an insult than anything else. They used the name because my teeth were bigger in the front. Like a lot of children, I had to grow into them. I was alone. Isolated. Hated and abused. I had no parents, no one to care for me. My whole life had been hollow, empty, and the feeling, it seemed, was to be terminal.The day my life changed monumentally is one I'll never forget. It was the day I was reborn.Walking from my job at the local bookstore, the sun had set and I wrapped my arms around myself as a chill started to seep into my skin. That's when I saw them.My abusers.In school there was a bigger crowd, but tonight I saw only three. Boys… almost men. They were eighteen now, just like me. They hadn't stopped dishing out the insults since they began back in first grade. In fact, after returning this last year, it's become worse.My looks had changed over the summer. I grew into my gangly body and my teeth, my acne cleared, and my long blond hair is now thick and lush. These boys noticed me, they all did. The taunts never stopped, but I saw it in their eyes—there was an annoyance. Just like it had always been, but now there was also a want… they wanted the new me. They hated craving me. It was new to them and they just didn't know what to do about it. Plus, none of them were brave enough to admit it. Not that it would have changed anything. Let's face it, I hated them all, with a passion.When they approached me that night it wasn't with caution. It should have been. Fear would have served them well. I was meek, quiet. I didn't fight back. I was an easy target… that's what they thought. That's what I thought. Why would they be frightened of little old me?When they pushed me into the back alley and tried to rip my clothes off, things changed. I listened to their voices, heard the evil inside them, and felt the cruel enjoyment that wept from their pores. I didn't understand it then. But I do now. That fight was monumental and thus began my life.I was reborn. I was new. I became what I was always meant to be. They started that, but they'll never know, never see. I killed them that day—all three boy-men. They were sons, nephews, boyfriends. Hell, they might have been future presidents for all I knew. Either way, I ripped their lives from their bodies in the blink of an eye.I still feel that evil, the grime under my fingernails, and it eats away at me. One day it might win and then all could be lost. For now, I hold it back, like a dam impounding water, controlling it and stopping it from overflowing and decimating everything in its path.

People who hate the Yankees should move to China.
Why do people hate the Yankees?
Disingenuous rationalizers say, "I hate the Yankees because they buy the best players."
It's unAmerican not to buy the best.
Maybe people who hate the Yankees are communists; which would make them more comfortable in, uh, China.
It could be a 10th commandment thing.
Americans really don't root for the underdog; unless, of course, they're the, uh, underdog.
A colleague and insufferable Dodgers fan gave a large plaque to me less than three years ago when I moved to where I am; and it hangs in my study boasting in big bold letters, "NEW YORK YANKEES! IT'S HARD TO BE HUMBLE!"
Going back to that Twiggy following Dolly Parton to the beach analogy, fans of the also-rans know Jesus is gonna return before they could ever dream/hallucinate about matching the Bronx Bombers' trophy case.
I live in Belvidere, Illinois; which ain't exactly the Big Apple.
Despite the, uh, hallunications of White Sox fans, the Cubs are the big deal around here.
I like the Cubs.
I even wear one of their hats, which one of my best friends gave to me, while playing golf; especially when I'm playing poorly.
I love the Yankees.
Unlike that carpetbagging Senator who has a pathological problem with confessing real affinities and claims to be a Yankees fan despite growing up in Chicago which would be like Taiwan or Tibet rooting for Peking in the Olympics, I don't pretend allegiances; for if I claimed to be who I am not then nobody would trust me when I confessed who I am.
And that, by the way, is why I am part of the ABHRC movement.
I can deal with lefties and righties as long as they're straighties.
It's an, uh, Christian ethic.
Who said we're not supposed to win?
You don't hear that kind of talk down in Chapel Hill or over in South Bend or up in Green Bay.
I never heard Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson, Lawrence Taylor, Mike Ditka, Willis Reed, the real Rocky, Ali, Larry Bird, Magic, Dr. J., Dean Smith, Michael Jordan, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, or any other winner say losing is O.K.
Jesus was a winner.
He beat death.
He said anyone can beat death by joining His team and following His playbook.
Can you imagine - some folks reimagine lots of funky stuff - Jesus saying one step before the cross as prelude to the empty tomb, "Ah, that'll do...Finishing second in this spiritual war isn't that bad...I'll wait for somebody else to do it...Don't ask...Don't tell...Don't knock..."?
Some folks are like that.
Yankees haters.
Some churches are like that: "Give of your less than best to the Master...We're a discount house of worship where the tithe is a tip of 2%...Dang, I'm happy to have inherited last year's legacy so I can stuff it in the casket when I go...Must Jesus bear the cross alone and all the world go free? Works for me!...O Master, let me ride in a Mercedes to show the world how sacrificial and humble I am..."
I'd like to drive a BMW, own a Harley, play at Pebble Beach, and pay off the plastic.
So like Yankees haters and clergy who drive cars antithetical to the whole servant thing, I struggle with the 10th commandment too.
Uh, I struggle with a few others as well.
This isn't about the Yankees anyway.
It's about mainline pulpiteers and pewsitters.
You're supposed to win the world for Jesus.
And unless you lied when you became a cleric or member or didn't understand the questions of ordination and membership or changed your mind and don't have the integrity to move to China, you're in this to win as profiled in Jesus and prescribed in the Bible.
If not, you can move to China or go to...
I'll bet you're glad that ain't my call.
Don't be so huffy about it.
I'm glad it ain't your call.
It's better to stick with a winner like Jesus.

Luca Netz reveals he turned down Manchester City offer
Oct 13, 2021 by admin	in Sportnews and Football
Luca Netz, the young German defender Revealed that he had previously turned down an offer from Manchester City and insisted he would be ready to turn it down again if an offer came in.
Credit: GETTY
Luca Netz, 18, has revealed he turned down a move to Manchester City three years ago. And also confirmed that it will reject the Blue Sailing again.
Premier League champions Manchester City wanted Luca Netz to join the academy three years ago, when he was only 15, but the defender turned down the offer. As he feels the club rarely gives opportunities to youngsters, he is concerned that there will be no progression as a professional player. And if there is an offer from Pep Guardiola's team coming in again He was ready to reject it again. And also confirmed that he never regretted his decision.
"I think it's ridiculous to go to Manchester City at such a young age. Even if I have offers from elsewhere right now I will deny it I have a clear plan And it's too early for me to go to the English Premier League," Luca Netz told German publication Blind.
"It's very important to me, Borussia Monchengladbach. To keep the experience of playing and continually improving And let's see what happens in the next few years."

The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu
The Dandelion Dynasty, 1
A TIME MAGAZINE BEST FANTASY BOOK OF ALL TIME
Emperor Mapidéré was the first to unite the island kingdoms of Dara under a single banner. But now the emperor is on his deathbed, his people are exhausted by his vast, conscriptive engineering projects and his counsellors conspire only for their own gain.
Even the gods themselves are restless.
A wily, charismatic bandit and the vengeance-sworn son of a deposed duke cross paths as they each lead their own rebellion against the emperor's brutal regime. Together, they will journey to the heart of the empire; witnessing the clash of armies, fleets of silk-draped airships, magical books and shapeshifting gods. Their unlikely friendship will drastically change the balance of power in Dara... but at what price?
The Grace of Kings is the first novel by Hugo-, Nebula- and World Fantasy Award-winner Ken Liu and the first in a monumental epic fantasy series.

Torteval ou Tortévas (vallée tortueuse, en guernesiais) est une paroisse du bailliage de Guernesey dans les îles de la Manche. Son nom apparaît sous la même forme  en anglais.

Géographie
Située à l'extrémité sud-ouest de l'île de Guernesey, Torteval est la plus petite des dix paroisses. Le territoire de la paroisse est aujourd'hui formé de deux parties distinctes séparées par la paroisse de Saint-Pierre-du-Bois : on réserve le nom de Pleinmont-Torteval à la partie occidentale, péninsulaire qui forme la pointe de Pleinmont, par opposition avec la partie orientale appelée tout simplement Torteval.

La côte est formée de falaises escarpées qui s'élève jusqu'à 70 mètres d'altitude au mont Hérault. Au nord-ouest se trouve le petit port de Portelet.

Monuments

La flèche de l'église construite en 1818 est la plus haute de toutes celles de l'île et en fait un amer remarquable.

Histoire
Durant les guerres napoléoniennes, les autorités des États de Guernesey, ont fait édifier une maison de guet sur les hauteurs du mont Hérault, afin de surveiller d'éventuelles attaques de troupes françaises.

Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les troupes d'occupation allemandes, ont fait construire plusieurs blockhaus sur la ligne de crête côtière.

Massacre at Montségur
Zoé Oldenbourg
translated from the French by Peter Green
Weidenfeld and Nicolson 1997 [1961]
In Massacre at Montségur Oldenbourg covers the entire Albigensian crusade, not just the 1243/1244 siege. Her treatment is expansive, narrating the military and political events in detail and providing information about Catharism and about the economic and social background. As one would expect from a first-rate historical novelist, Oldenbourg is also effective when it comes to explaining why people acted in ways which seem strange to the modern reader.
Her bias towards the heretics is unmistakeable, but it takes the form of obvious moral judgements and the occasional skewed interpretation rather than distortion of the facts. So the portrait of Raymond VI, count of Toulouse, is hagiographic, while the judgement on Simon de Montfort is only qualified because "the moral responsibility for his acts lies less heavily upon him than it does on those who had the power to bless and absolve them" — parts of Massacre Montségur read like a forensic indictment against the Catholic Church.
Massacre at Montségur includes references to the primary sources and a full bibliography, as well as a chronology and an excellent selection of black and white photographs.
- Joseph R. Strayer - The Albigensian Crusades
- Malcolm Lambert - The Cathars
- books about France + French history
- more French literature
