Poll: Deal the Cards Cry the Losers
A poll by horn-5.
Poker games only. Dealer's Choice but no Jokers, no wild cards and, for sure, no Texas Hold'em. (Well, maybe on the latter).You've booked passage on Dr. Wonmug's Time Machine (guaranteed to get you where you want, but seldom does)and looking for a poker game. The same gambler(s) may turn up in several titles. Guns do not have to be checked at the door, but also do not have to be involved. Suggestions welcome. Choose the one you want a seat at the table...and you'll take your chances on surviving with your life and/or your bankroll. http://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000088/nest/224719137?d=224905724#2249057 24

To Robert8 I was having the same problem in flickr, you need to get the deep link for that image, go to the image file properties and copy the actual exact link and add to the image button from the toolbox here in the answer box. Hope it helps.
Bootleg Super Heroes minifigs - worth it or not?
Hi guys, just to let you know that the supershirt v1 is now available in Europe, you can see here for details: A new thread will be created for this and other releases.
Not my favorite batmobile but, you did excelent, and lights and all, SHOW OFF!!! :b Very clever use of parts, really intricate, and the opening cockpit is perfect. Pity there aren't wheel rims trans blue with black bats, the yellow looks off on this maybe put some normal round trans blue pieces with decals on it?? Either way my hats off to you.
https://www.flickr.c...05/14517335496/ There has been a small change in the Project, since the crowdfunding didn't pickup enough interest, Legomazing and a new group of people will be releasing a part of this project together and we hope to make many more. We will revisit the crowdfunding to speed up releases in the future but for now you can read about this one. We understand the feedback we got about not wanting to commit without us having released a few more products on our own, so hope this shows our commitment.
Puritan hat - where to get?
What all of them said, cut the top of a witches hat and sand a bit. Then bring the cut edge back to shiny plastic by polishing with mild acetone solution on a rag. I've done it myself and looks very good as a placeholder of the real deal.

Бенуа Петерс (; ; 28 серпня 1956, Париж) — французький автор коміксів, есеїв, романів, нехудожньої літератури та радіоп'єс. Біограф Жака Дерріда та Поля Валері. З 1978 року мешкає у Бельгії.

Біографія
Народився в Парижі, проте дитинство провів у Брюсселі, де його батько був одним з перших функціонерів майбутнього Європейського Союзу. У 12 років у колежі Дон Боско познайомився з майбутнім ілюстратором Франсуа Скойтеном, разом з яким розробив уявний часопис. Повернувся до Франції лише 1973 року. Після підготовчих курсів у ліцеї Людовика Великого та проміжного диплому з філософії, здобутого в Сорбонні, захистив диплом у Практичній школі вищих досліджень під керівництвом Ролана Барта. Його дипломна робота з семіології була присвячена аналізу коміксу Ерже «Коштовності Кастафйоре».

Його перший роман «Омнібус» був написаний у формі уявної біографії французького письменника Клода Сімона. 1976 року він вийшов друком у паризькому видавництві Мінюї. 1980 року Петерс опублікував в видавництві Robert Laffont свій другий роман «Бібліотека Віллера», присвячений Хорхе Луїсу Борхесу та Агаті Крісті.

З 1983 року працював з Франсуа Скойтеном над серією коміксів «Туманні міста», яка зробила його відомим за межами Бельгії. У вигаданому паралельному світі міста з надзвичайною архітектурою відтісняють на задній план перипетії сюжету, стаючи головними персонажами коміксів. До 2010 року в цій серії випущено 13 альбомів. 1993 року Петерс, разом з Фредеріком Буале, працював над коміксом «Любовний готель», були також спільні проєкти з Анн Балтюс та Аленом Гоффеном.

Петерс написав також декілька книг про авторів коміксів, зокрема 1983 року — Monde d'Hergé («Світ Ерже»), біографію та опис роботи художника коміксів Hergé.

2005 року створив документальний серіал для телевізійної станції ARTE, де кожен епізод змальовував художника коміків та його роботи.

2010 року він опублікував біографію Жака Дерріда, яка стала «першою великою біографією» цього французького філософа.

2014 року у видавництві Фламмаріон вийшла друком його біографія Поля Валері «Valéry. Tenter de vivre» («Валері. Намагатися жити»).

Firefighters destroyed around 130 tons of explosives and ammunition last year
January 16, 2023 Bácsi ÉvaLeave a Comment on Firefighters destroyed around 130 tons of explosives and ammunition last year
Firefighters were alerted to almost 1,900 cases in 2022 – most often from the central part of the country – and a total of about 130 tons of various types of explosive devices, ammunition, and hazardous materials of military origin were destroyed, the 1st Firefighter Regiment of the Hungarian Armed Forces announced on Facebook on Monday.
In the post evaluating last year, it was written that 1,872 police reports were received by the fire engineer of the Hungarian Defense Forces, typically related to dangerous explosive devices left over from the Second World War, of which 387 times "out-of-order treatment" of explosives was required.
It was announced: Fejér county received the most notifications, 330, in a "tie", and the soldiers of the regiment were also alerted about the same number of addresses in Pest county and Budapest. Firefighters marched 170 times to locations belonging to the county of Veszprém, to explosive devices of military origin.
The number of police reports requiring emergency response was the highest in the capital and Pest County, where soldiers of the unit took action 140 times within 24 hours. Firefighters went to Fejér County in 65 cases and to Komárom-Esztergom County in 25 cases.
It was noted in the post: typically different types of mortar and artillery grenades, hand grenades, and ammunition were found.
The most frequently found type of explosive device this year was also the 82-millimeter Soviet shrapnel grenade, of which almost 1,900 pieces were "handled" by firefighters across the country. The incendiaries disposed of about a thousand pieces of the 81-millimeter German shrapnel grenade, more than a thousand of the 75-millimeter German anti-tank and shrapnel grenades, and 450 of the Soviet F1 defensive hand grenades were disposed of by the soldiers of the incendiary regiment.
According to the report, the firefighters destroyed a total of about 130 tons of various types of explosive devices, ammunition, and dangerous materials of military origin. Destruction by controlled explosions was carried out 483 times in the blasting areas designated for it, during the controlled destructions almost one ton of TNT and Semtex-type explosives were used.
The explosives detection dog handlers of the regiment carried out 117 on-site inspections with service dogs, and in 93 cases they provided fire protection for military operations, shooting exercises, and civilian activities, they wrote.
In the post, Colonel Zsolt Szilágyi, the regiment commander, was quoted, as calling the last year of the regiment extremely busy.

DFJE and Schubert Club invite you to a day of FREE presentations and clinics for pianists (all skill levels, Grades 7-12). Lunch provided.
The Workshop: Piano students (with all levels of experience with jazz) will begin the day in one large group for a welcome. Students will then break into their clinic groups (based on experience with jazz piano). At 11:40, all will gather for an entertaining introduction to jazz piano and the workshop from our clinicians, who will also talk briefly about the challenges of jazz piano, particularly making the transition from classical to jazz piano. There will be a break for lunch, followed by the clinics, which will run until about 2:15. After a short snack break (provided), students will return to their clinics until 3:40, when they come together to share performances. Three scholarships for piano lessons will be presented at the end of the Workshop, with one student selected from each clinic.
Cost: FREE! There is no charge for the workshop. Funding is provided by Schubert Club and the Dakota Foundation for Jazz Education, with partial funding from a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council (MRAC).
deVon Gray (pianist/arranger/composer)started studying the piano at the age of five and by the time he was eight, was plying with a church choir. For Gray, the lines between classical music, gospel, rock, and pop, were blurred from an early age. Though he grew up in Saint Paul, he went to the Perpich Center for Arts Education in Golden Valley to study music and continued his studies at the New England Conservatory, right around the corner from Berklee School of Music and the Boston Conservatory. As a result, he was meeting musicians performing all types of music. He has played with Heiruspecs, as well as Brother Ali, Chastity Brown, Brother Ali, Atmosphere, Dan Wilson, the Honeydogs, Caroline Smith, the Cloak Ox, and a number of other artists. This past Fall, Gray has been working with students at the Perpich Conservatory for the Arts, the Saint Paul Conservatory, and with Heiruspecs. deVon will be leading the Intermediate Jazz Piano Clinic (Group 2).
Three scholarships are provided by endowments to Schubert Club from the families of Marie Froehlich, Jane Matteson and David Paulus. One student will be selected from each clinic group to receive a $300 Scholarship for jazz piano lessons with one of three award-winning local jazz pianists/clinicians from the Twin Cities – Bryan Nichols, Laura Caviani, and Mary Louise Knutson, on a schedule to be negotiated with the clinician. Each clinician at the workshop will select one student from his or her clinic group whom they feel will benefit most from these lessons.
How many years have your studied jazz piano?
Are you currently playing jazz piano in a band at school or in the community?
Who is your jazz piano instructor?
Please note– if you have headphones and 1/4" to 1/8" adaptors, please bring with you to the workshop.
Register by clicking HERE! This workshop is limited to 12 students in each clinic group. Complete registration by clicking "Register" and answering all questions accurately. It is essential that students designate their appropriate skill clinic and complete all questions on the registration form to ensure appropriate clinic assignments. You will receive email confirmation of your registration. Registration deadline is Friday, January 13, 2017.

On June 8, 1968, thousands of people lined the train tracks from New York to Washington, DC, paying their last respects and expressing bewilderment and sorrow at the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Photographer Paul Fusco documented the funeral train's journey and his images have become emblematic of the loss of idealism during a period of political upheaval in the United States. Dutch visual artist, photographer, and filmmaker Rein Jelle Terpstra has been tracking down the bystanders' views of this day. He has collected more than two hundred images, including snapshots and home movies of the train. In RFK Funeral Train: The People's View, Terpstra combines a multiscreen video projection that stitches together this collection of vernacular photographs and audio and video remembrances of these mourners with prints by Fusco. Through this project, Terpstra adds a new chapter to a collective memory that is slowly disappearing. This exhibition is organized by Erin Barnett, Director of Exhibitions and Collections.

The European Commission (EC) invests significantly every year in research, education, new product development and technology validation. This guide outlines the steps you need to take to obtain funds from the EC.
The quantity and depth of EC funding is enormous and its scale is matched by the number of different agencies and bodies involved, which is both confusing and ever-changing. However, you can keep up-to-date with the latest information by visiting the EC website. The EC also provides advice and guidance at the national level through a National Contact Point and frequently holds information events.
Cooperation and Capacities are generally more fertile areas for health-related projects.
The application process for EC projects starts with the identification of a call for proposals. Calls are issued by the EC on a rolling basis, usually annual in frequency, and are published around six months before the deadline for applications.
Calls are published on the EC website along with a complete package of reference materials needed to apply for the funding. The most important document is called the Work Programme (WP). This explains the type of project the EC wants to fund. Correctly interpreting the WP is the most important success factor in gaining EC funding. The WP has all the details about the political objectives and topics the Commission has defined, the schemes available under the theme, size of projects, how many partners are needed, and other issues.
The most important aspect behind EC funding is understanding the call and preparing your concept and project objectives to match it. Many people try to make the EC call fit their concept, which is a recipe for failure. EC funding is highly competitive so a very good fit to the call is an absolute prerequisite.
Another essential aspect is the composition of your proposed project consortium. One of the central objectives of EC funding is cooperation between member states, and most calls will specify that participants from two, three, four or more member states will be required (depending on the type of project). To find the most appropriate pan-European partners, check the reference section at the end of this guide.
CONSORTIUM – Identify and present the ideal blend of partners to deliver the concept you present.
It is very important to thoroughly read the guidance documents published by the EC and ensure you understand what the EC want to see and present it accordingly. The most common mistake applicants make is to fail to take the time to read and understand what the EC want to see.
The submission process for EC applications is now done via a web portal called the EPSS. Proposals are registered by the project coordinator and the site then issues you with a password for later access. You or your partners then upload the required documents and information onto the site. You can submit the complete application as many times as you like. Do NOT to leave your submission to the last minute. Deadlines will be strictly enforced by the EC; there are likely to be large numbers of applications for each call and there have been site failures due to high volume of network traffic. Finally, remember that the call deadline time is based on Brussels, not UK, time. It's typically 17:00 CET on the deadline day.
The EC pays for associated national organisations to support applicants. To find out the contact details for the UK Health NCP please refer to their website for the most up to date contact.
The NCP will generally only provide guidance and signposting to key resources and support documents and will not help with the technical content or writing of the application. One of the most important things they provide is contact details for specific EC Scientific Officers (SOs) that specify what the EC are looking to fund.
Each fund defined by the EC is produced and controlled by an individual called a Scientific Officer (SO). This person has been closely involved with the creation of the particular fund so is in a unique position to provide advice on what the EC is looking to fund. They will not provide feedback that positively benefits your application, but they will give input on the direction of your concept. It is important to note that they will not tolerate any canvassing or lobbying for your application. SOs are highly busy individuals so if you are in contact with them, make it quick and to the point.
As discussed above, writing applications for EC funding is a detailed business that takes time and effort. It can be very helpful to get help from others, for example from your partners or from consultants that specialise in creating EC applications.

"Ranked Choice Voting puts power back in the hands of the people, by giving voters more options and elevating new, diverse candidates so that every community has a voice."
☛ NYS Senators who defeated IDC incumbents
Art by Christina Graham
? An election? In New York? In 2019? ?
Wait, there's an election in NYC this year? This year's election may seem like NBD, with only one citywide race (Public Advocate, and Jumaane Williams is expected to win), but there are some potentially huge changes to the governing document of NYC up for a vote. What's more, there are some updates to the voting process this election cycle designed to make it easier for you to cast your ballot. This week, we're talking Early Voting (coming to New York just 10 days from now!), and possible charter revisions like Ranked Choice Voting.
Don't miss out! Our next training is on Thursday, October 24th and we'll be covering Workplace Activism. Come learn strategies for fighting back in the office, whether it's asking for a raise or intervening when someone is being harassed. RSVP
Early Voting will start on Oct 26 and run until Nov 3, leading up to Election Day on Nov 5. The Board of Elections is considering it a "pilot year," to learn from this go-around ahead of *hopefully massive* 2020 turnout. Heads up: your early voting site may be different from your Election Day site. But wait, there's more: charter revisions are up for a vote, which would amend our City's constitution re: elections, police oversight, ethics, budget and land use. There are 19 amendments organized under 5 questions. Today, we're highlighting the Q we believe has greatest potential to make real change: Ranked Choice Voting.
Ballot Q #1: Elections. RCV would give voters the choice to rank up to 5 candidates in primary and special elections for citywide offices like Mayor and City Council. Right now, whoever gets the highest % of votes wins, even if it's less than 50%. Under RCV, if no one wins a majority on the first go, then the last-place candidate is eliminated and votes are re-allocated based on rankings. This is repeated until there's a majority winner. RCV would force candidates to reach out to all voters, not just their base -- because being a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th choice increases the chances of winning. RCV eradicates the "spoiler effect" and motivates candidates with less establishment support and fewer resources (i.e. women & POC) to run.

Q: How can I create a mysql database (if it doesn't exist) or replace it (if it exists)? My dump:
mysqldump --host=localhost --user=root --password=whatever --single-transaction --routines --triggers --log-error=error.txt --databases mydatabase > out.sql

My restore
mysql --host=localhost --user=root --password=whatever -Dtargetdatabasename < out.sql

As I am restoring a single database, I need to make sure that if it already exists it is deleted and if it does not exist I must create it (empty) in order to import my dump file without errors. How do I do this, from the cmd console with batch? Thanks
Update Solved:
mysql --host=localhost --user=root --password=whatever -e "DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS database_name";
mysql --host=localhost --user=root --password=whatever -e "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS database_name";

if someone has a better idea to publish it, to select the answer as correct, otherwise you can vote for close

A: mysqldump has a --add-drop-database exists as a mysqldump.
If you use the --databases option and --add-drop-database the DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS SQL as become comes in the dump. --add-drop-database won't have an effect on a single database that is specified without the --databases option.
Example of generated output:
$ mysqldump -u root -S /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --add-drop-database  --databases test

-- MariaDB dump 10.19  Distrib 10.5.13-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64)
--
-- Host: localhost    Database: test
-- ------------------------------------------------------
-- Server version   10.5.11-MariaDB

/*!40101 SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT=@@CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT */;
/*!40101 SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS=@@CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS */;

-- Current Database: `test`
--

/*!40000 DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS `test`*/;

CREATE DATABASE /*!32312 IF NOT EXISTS*/ `test` /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 */;

USE `test`;

--
-- Table structure for table `t1`
--

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `t1`;
/*!40101 SET @saved_cs_client     = @@character_set_client */;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = utf8 */;
CREATE TABLE `t1` (
  `i` int(11) DEFAULT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = @saved_cs_client */;

So for the case asked in the question the backup becomes (as a single line):
mysqldump --host=localhost --user=root --password=whatever
     --single-transaction --routines --triggers
     --log-error=error.txt
     --add-drop-database --databases mydatabase > out.sql

The restore becomes:
mysql --host=localhost --user=root --password=whatever < out.sql

No -Dtargetdatabasename is needed because the generated SQL will have a use mydatabase to select that database already during the restore. This also means that a restore needs to be of the same database name. If you need something else you can edit the sql file.

"Until I saw Luc on the Mars base, I'd never thought of anyone in anything other than a professional or familial way. All of a sudden, after twenty-five years of indifference, I was almost overwhelmed. It took me a while to realize that it was something more than desire. That's what really scared me about seeking refuge in Maiden. I figured Darraqc could take care of the Dark Lord."
Innocence de Chevalier, as quoted in: The Gospel According to St Luc, the revelations of a new god, by Gerard Steinwalker, © 2152 Terminus Publishing Co.
Innocence huddled down against the warm earth beneath the long prairie grasses, trying to stave off the cold and the tears. She wished she had had time to put on more than her jumpsuit, to protect her body from the icy wind blowing from the still-frozen northern marches, the cold wind that made her bones ache. Oh, how she ached. She ached from the cold. She ached from the cuts the high prairie grasses had made on her skin. She ached from exhaustion, from running without break for a night and day. But most of all she ached from grief. An awful, sickening, gut-wrenching grief that was almost fear. Grief that her dearest father would . . . sacrifice her. Like a pack of wild dogs would slaughter a tethered goat . . . So she wept, until the wind, and the warm earth, and her tired bones sent her to sleep at last.
She awoke into that drowsy, half-conscious state in which time seems to eddy and flow around like water around the pebbles in a burn, and where hours can pass like minutes, and minutes like hours. She felt warm, warmer than she should have been, and she wondered dreamily if she'd died. In the distance she could hear the soft jingling of small bells, and when she opened her eyes she could see a single, growing point of light approaching her in a field of blackness, like the tunnel to the seat of god people are supposed to travel when they die.
"It would be nice to be dead," she thought, to be lost in the depths of God, safe from her father, and the enemy.
She willed herself to rise toward the light, and felt the earth beneath her as she began to sit up. Oh God, she was still alive, still on Robynn, still hunted.
She sat for a while with her head on her knees until she was fully awake, and then stood to look around and assess her position. The wind was coming from the South now, from above the southern oceans, bringing with it the warm, moist southern air. In the West she could see the barest trace of the planet's dim ring before it disappeared behind the clouds. She could already smell the rain, and shivered from anticipation. At this time of year such a storm could bring anything from snow to hail; and even rain would . . . God help her.
She turned again. In the West, perhaps a little to the North, she still saw the light, much closer now and moving rapidly towards her. She recognized the bells as those of a sleigh, and saw that the light was fixed to a tall mast in some kind of wagon. Pulling it was a large team of dark horses, perhaps ten or twelve, and the rear section seemed to contain a covered cabin, as on a boat, and another smaller mast. As it drew nearer Innocence sank down to her knees again so she wouldn't be exposed, and waited, wondering what she should do.
She saw two people in the land-yacht — a driver, middle-aged and tall, and an elderly woman, standing on the left and looking out like a queen over her domain.
The woman turned to the driver and spoke, gesturing towards the horizon behind Innocence. He slowed the horses and looked where the woman pointed, but in the long grass Innocence couldn't see what they were watching, and looked back towards the land-yacht. They were moving now at only a slow trot; and the woman was discussing something with the driver. Innocence turned back to the horizon behind her again, rising now to get a better view. Just come over the horizon there were the search-lights of what Innocence knew to be her father's faction of the Ark Enterprise crew. The realization hit her like a wall of chilled water. Kyrie Elieson, they had found her trail again! She staggered backwards a few steps, and then turned and ran towards the land-yacht, crying out for help. It was still; and there, already coming to meet her, was the woman, looking like motherhood herself come to comfort her lost child. They stopped and stood there for a stound, before the woman raised her arms towards Innocence, who ran to her. Innocence buried her head in the woman's shoulder and wept, and she clipt her closely and comforted her.
"My dear girl, my dear, dear girl."
The Golden Rose was an elegant Dol'maren land-yacht, of the kind favoured by the more sophisticated aristocracy of the Tsaghedi plains' herders. On her sails and along her sides she wore the colours of the Fortress of Knowledge, the Raven, who since the last war here, so many thousands of years ago, had been gathering whatever lore remained in the ruin of Ariel civilization.
In the days before the War a gravitational drive would have sent her skimming swiftly over the grain, with only the rush of the wind and strange song of a fuel reactor to tell her passengers that the world really was rushing past their eyes, almost too rathe to see.
Now though, there was only a team of the best sled-horses the plains' people could breed, drawing her sleek lyche over the flowering steppes. There were thirteen — lean, stocky horses with golden red-green coats; large, round heads; and short, upright manes. Some twelve would be in harness, making the grass blur, while another rested beneath the mainmast, or trotted alongside.
There had been only one passenger, the woman, Mrs Amarie Sammers, an elderly queen of the merchants Riker, whom the Raven had named Tser Etiann, which means Pale Queen. The driver, Sebastian Windrider, was half Ariel, the son of an Raven engineer, and the woman's grandson on his mother's side.
Mrs Sammers was a matriarchal figure among all five generations of her descendants and the Riker; and Innocence soon found herself thinking of her in the much the same way, and calling her simply, "Mother". She felt as if she had found someone to take the place of the mother she had never known.
For several days they ran north-by-north west, towards Darren of the Raven, and the Robynn base of the merchants Riker. They talked as they fared, about the history of the native Ariel peoples; the recent events on Earth and the Mars bases; how and why the merchants Riker had come to Robynn; about how the arrival of the Ark Enterprise had rocked the delicate balance of powers here; about the Garæþjan (as the native Ariel called the crew of Ark) and their politics and beliefs and factions.
Of all their discussions, those that interested Innocence the most were those concerning the Way, the faith that the Riker had brought from Earth, and which the Raven (if few else Ariel) had adopted as the new revelation of their own.
Like many other astrophysicists, Innocence had seen God in his shapings, and most aspects of the Way were as familiar to her as the morning sun. The rest, prie Dieu! It was a revelation. Had she been blind before? It all seemed so plain, so obvious, so right. Dan the Raven called him. Darraqc-Dan. Tsi bhar Darraqc-Dan, ennoi Jamaler. Our shepherd He-Is-Forever-God, saviour of Man. She accepted it all completely now, and it left her breathless with joy and wonder. And she felt ever more keenly the Call.
It was at Ur-Base that she had first felt the Call. The Dark Lord had made his sudden departure with the Black Knights some weeks earlier, and her Father's cabal had assumed control of the remaining crew of the Ark Enterprise. As a senior officer she was given a prominent position in the "Court," but was consistently ignored, and denied any knowledge of the real intrigues and events going on around her. It had grown on her slowly, a yearning to get up and leave, to go somewhere, anywhere; frustration and boredom seeking an outlet, a release. No. The Warning had come then, and she had fled, and frustration and boredom had been left behind, and the Call had remained, persistent and nagging, calling her somewhere. But where, where? Where did Dan want her to go? The suddenly, one day, she knew. And the knowing filled her with fear.
She didn't tell Mrs Sammers or Sebastian for some days of her conviction. Amarie Sammers looked at Rayburn, the sun, as it disappeared and whispered to herself, ". . . Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of Hell," and Innocence found herself agreeing. She was going to the Dark Lord.
They sat in the bow of the Golden Rose, in the warm morning sun. Several yards away the clear water of the Fiann chattered over the Lower Ford's pebbled bed. Sunlight reflected of the water played of the sides of the 'boat, and the glossy flanks of the horses grazing on the long grass and lenten flowers. Somewhere upstream Sebastian was trying to catch some of the famous golden trout first bred by the ancient Dol'raager.
"Mother," said Innocence, "I need to leave soon. I'd like to be baptized, here, in the Fiann before I go."
Tser Etiann lowered her sewing and looked up at Innocence. "Did you know, Innocence," she said, "I used to think that the Dark Lord was the Anti-Christ, come to destroy us all."
She paused, and put away her sewing, while Innocence sat forward, watching anxiously for her to continue. Finally she rose from her seat, sighing, and looking lovingly at Innocence went on: "Stannart was right, after all, though. De Chevalier wouldn't have abandoned Earth if he was The Foe. Come. I have something to show you."
Mrs Sammers led Innocence to a large humpback chest in the berth she had been given. She brought out a package wrapped in golden-white tissue paper and twine, sat down, and carefully unwrapped it. Inside was a dress of fine silky linen the same colour as the paper, embroidered with intricate patterns and stylized animals in gold and silver thread like viking filigree-work. Underneath was a black cloth bag with a plain line drawstring, lying on a chemise of the finest, unbleached goat's wool, finely knit into a soft downy fabric that seemed to radiate warmth.
Innocence lay the sark beside her on the bed as Tser Etiann emptied the bag. There before her, were armbands of Tsaghedi filigree work in gold and silver, inset with precious stones; a torque and bracelets of golden woven like rope, animal heads at either end — wolves and bears and wild cats with jewelled or amber eyes; and a snood of gold and linen thread and large white pearls, with open filigree combs of fine silver set with jewels. Next she brought out a wooden box, graven with runes and images of men, and trees, and ships and strange creatures; and inlaid with ivory. Inside were an ox-horn, samewise graven; a round flask of orange-hued glass containing "Johnson's baby oil"; and a tiny vial of some dark green liquid, which Tser Etiann carefully laid aside.
"My daughter Adelhaide wore these at her bridal," she said, "They are my gift to you for your baptism."
She warmed the oil and poured a little into the horn, and then added a tiny drop of the green liquid, carefully sealing the vial. Innocence knelt, and Mrs Sammers poured out the oil over her head. It smelt bitter and sweet at the same time, like laughter mixed with tears. Amarie smeared her with the oil, and brushed it through her hair, until she glistened like satin sheets of gold.
"In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost . . ."
She could hear Sebastian through the water, garbled, as if in a dream, and then he was lifting her up and out. Up, up, up, up . . .
She wasn't surprised to see God there when she opened her eyes. Nothing else, just God. All around her, and all through her. It is not possible to describe God the way she felt him then. It must be experienced. All she could see was God, all she could hear was God, all she could touch was God, all she could feel was God, all she could smell was God, all she could taste was God, all she knew was God. If you could imagine everything that is God, the faith, the hope, the trust, the peace, the joy, the life, the light, the power, the glory, the knowledge . . . the love; if all these things were alive, if you could see them, if you could feel them; if they were all around you as far as you could see like points of light in space, and you could see; and if you chose a point in all that space and magnified it until it was all you could see, further up and further in; and if you could see and feel just as much of everything, as far as you could see, until you dared not look any further; if all those things were One, if he knew you, if he knew who you were, if he loved you; if you could imagine all this; you would know just a vague shadow of what she knew then.
In all of this a vision appeared, seeing the earth through a gap in the clouds. Down below her she could see a lake, Rogh'iann; bounden on the one side by a moss, Fiannweg (or Fenwick); and on the other by the high black cliff of a mountain range, El'danan. Down the mountainside ran the Fiann, falling around a jutting section of cliff in twin falls into the lake, and winding out through the moss of the Fenwick. Darraqc had called her, and now Darraqc was teaching her where to go. There, under the mountain, was Maiden. There, was the Dark Lord's lair. No! No. Not the Dark Lord. Darraqc called him some other name. And for a moment Innocence glimpsed something . . . breath-taking. But what could she do? If thou goest, he will come. And I will be with ye always. This the foe fears greatly.
Before her, on either side of the Fiann, were the two lows the Dol'raager had raised to bound the Fenwick, Darrow Sarth on the North and Darrow Gorm on the South. She steered the scout towards Sarth and buried her little nose into the soft earth of the bank. The crossbow lay on her pack nigh the stern, and she hove them both with her after drawing the scout out of the tug of the stream; making sure that the bow's magazine was full of shuttles. It was a steep climb up the side of the low, but the loft was warm and sweet, inviting great breaths; and the lithe, feathery grass blows brushed softly against her. At the crest she paused and showed Northwest, towards the high peaks of El'danan, the High Forge. All she could see was the vast expanse of the Fenwick, stretching rest upon rest like a green sea, broken only by the black ribbon of the Fiann and seldom black lakes and sandy aits with even selder firs.
The river had lost itself in the moss after the first day past the Darrows, and for the next fortnight she trekked out gain over the moss, dragging the scout behind her. She made slow progress, and decided to conserve her limited fuel by burning peat for cooking, despite the smoke. In the peat she sometimes found relics left behind by others - a gold ring, a sole-less boot, and most interesting, a peat-blackened sword &emdash; a long thin S-shaped blade that balanced well in her hands. For four days she saw the sun rise over the Darrows; not until the fifth day did the white haze of the High Forge appear on the horizon. Each day after that it would grow both wider and higher, glowing gold then rose as the sun disappeared over the horizon. Then came a storm, up from the south, and she was forced to shelter for three days in the air tent, pitched on an ait barely larger than the small scout.
The storm broke during the third night, and Innocence rose to see the Rayburn climbing over the moss. Westwards she could see cliffs of El'danan that had been hidden by the storm, towering over the encircling low of Darrow Tarn. Hoving only her pack, set out over the Fenwick till she reached the top of the darrow and looked out. There, just in front of her, hidden by the mist thrown up by the falls, was Maiden, the fortress under the mountain. She hesitated still, wary of what awaited her. A wry grin crossed her face as she realised that she was actually relieved to be here after the trial of the moss. More than that, she was actually home. To her left, in the corner of her eye, she noticed an air-boat emerge from behind the falls. It skirted the mist and approached her. When it was about an hundred metres from her she recognised the pilot as Decameron, de Chevalier's bioroid adjutant. He drew along-side and tossed her a line.
"Good morning Dr. Carter," he said good naturedly, "climb aboard and we'll get your boat. Dr Remy is anxious to see you."
"Decameron," she said, taking his hand firmly and shaking it, "It's a great morning," and closed her eyes as she looked up into the sky and smiled. Suddenly she was immensely happy. Warm and content in the crook of Dan's arm. She felt like she was finally going home. It's been a beautiful morning. What a morning, a great morning. It's a great morning.

The art gallery on the second floor of the White Plains Public Library recently underwent a transformation as the bare walls were filled with colorful and unique work done by students in the Commercial Arts program at the Center for Career Services.
"The big thing is it really gets it out there into the community. This is a big step forward with that," teacher Damian Powers said of his students' work at the April 1opening reception.
Twenty-seven students submitted art for the show, some choosing more than one piece (of their work) to display. Many of the pieces were enlarged to fill the gallery.
"The space, that is what makes it that much more powerful," Mr. Powers said.
This past winter students' work was also part of the Young Artists Exhibition at the Katonah Museum of Art. Prior to that public display, students' work had only been shown in-house at the Valhalla center.
"This is a whole different level," Mr. Powers said.
Students welcomed guests to the opening, which included food provided by the center's Culinary Arts students.
Among the guests were several parents who stopped in to see their child's art.
"Of course, as a parent you love seeing your daughter's work," Rasheen Rodgers said.
Journee Rodgers, a senior at New Rochelle High School, said her she wanted to send an anti-bullying message with her piece. She did not want to use the word "bullying," however, opting for "think positive" instead. She used flowers and bright colors to further convey her message.
"It shows her personality," Ms. Rodgers said of the piece.
"I think it's really exciting to show off my work and see it out there," Journee said of being a part of the show.
"My art mostly focuses on kids," Stephanie Castaneda, a junior at White Plains High School, said.
Her piece shows a cat in a circle with the artist's name surrounding it. The piece is colorful and the cat image is repeated throughout.
"It's actually really exciting. I didn't think I'd see my art in the library," Stephanie said, adding she used to visit the library as a child.
Stephanie was at the event with her mom, Maria Japoa.
Jake Rooney, a senior at Eastchester High School, said he enjoyed the experience of letting others see his work. He said it took some time to decide which of his pieces to submit for the show. In the end he selected a self-portrait.
"Come on down and see the creations of creativity," Jake suggested to those who may not be familiar with the Commercial Arts program.
The show, located in the second floor art gallery, will be on display through April 22 at the White Plains Public Library, 100 Martine Ave., White Plains.

"Oru Adaar Love" Director Points Out His Finger At Priya Varrier For The Movie's Flop !! Check Out Her Reaction !!
For Malayalam girl Priya Prakash Varrier, things took a turn when a glimpse of her in the song Manikya Malaraya Poovi from Oru Adaar Love, that had a wide release as Lovers' Day in Telugu, went viral. She was suddenly the new sensation as netizens addressed her with titles such as the 'National crush' and 'National love interest' and all eyes were set on her with several endorsement deals coming her way as well.
Oru Adaar Love turned out to be one of the much-anticipated films of Malayalam film industry after the release of the promo. However, when the film finally released on Valentine's Day, it failed to live up to the expectations. Critics panned the movie, and it turned out to be a mediocre hit a the box office.
The film's director Omar Lulu blamed Priya Varrier's fame as one of the main reason for the movie's flop. He said this in an interview with a Malayalam channel while talking about the bad reviews for the film. "I wanted to make a good film from the beginning but once Priya became popular, I had undue pressure on me from the Malayalam and Tamil producers to make her the lead. This was a tough task because I started off making a different film altogether. I am not happy with the way the film turned out in the end but I had no choice," he shared adding that he wasn't given his entire due in the form of the dubbing rights' remuneration that wasn't paid to him.
"When the song (Manikya Malaraya Poovi) became a huge hit, I insisted the producer that the film should be made with good quality. At this moment, producers of both the Malayalam and Telugu versions asked me to make the movie with Priya Prakash in the lead. Earlier, the theme of the movie was very different. Initial storyline of the movie was about a young couple who gets murdered. But things did not work, as producers asked me to make a movie in a different manner by highlighting Priya." he added.
"Everything changed when some of them who got sudden fame started to talk about the movie where they didn't even know about the story. Everyone was innocent when I started the shoot but that's completely changed and what I expected faded away" said a really upset Omar according to Behindwoods.
Responding to Lulu's statement, Priya through an Instagram post had said she has "chosen to remain silent because karma would speak for itself." The actor also added if she opens up on the issue, it would ruffle a few feathers.
"If I begin speaking the truth, some people would be in trouble. Why be like them? I am remaining silent because karma will speak no matter what. And that time is not far away." she said to the allegations against her.

Mr. Nasty & Guru Guru tore up the decks at Providence on Friday night, 14th August.
The infamous duo is known for their precise ability to execute 5-hour sets starting from 130bpm to 150bpm with Melbourne Bounce to Trap and not afraid to experiment; they always land with a dash of hardstyle to finish. With music and art being very similar elements, it is only natural for these 2 individuals to intrinsically from their own streetwear brand: "Nasty Inc." which are only available at Sole What stores across the Peninsula.

The Shoppe was an American country music group from Dallas, Texas, composed of Mark Cathey (vocals), Kevin Bailey (vocals), Roger Ferguson (guitar), Clarke Wilcox (banjo), Mike Caldwell (harmonica), Jack Wilcox (bass), and Lou Chavez (drums).

The band's highest-charting single, "Doesn't Anybody Get High on Love Anymore," reached the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in 1981. They were signed to MTM Records in 1985 and released one album, The Shoppe, which charted on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and led to appearances on The Nashville Network.

For nearly three decades, The Shoppe toured extensively throughout the United States before disbanding in 1998.

For many years The Shoppe was a mainstay at the Puyallup Fair, performing several times a day.

In 2012 The Shoppe reunited for a reunion run at the Puyallup Fair, from September 17 to September 23. They would also reunite for the Puyallup fair in 2013, and one final time in 2018 to celebrate their 50th anniversary.
