Singer Amber Ferrari Performs At The Patchogue Theatre For Her Material Girl Concert
May 3, 2016 by Cognac Wellerlane
(Patchogue, NY) Singer, songwriter Amber Ferrari dazzled the audience and lit up the stage like a cosmic star performing her special rendition of Madonna's Material Girl at the newly renovated Patchogue Theatre this past Saturday, April 30, 2016.
Long Island native Amber Ferrari is a recording artist, musician and actress who takes the stage by storm and her performances astound even the most energized entertainer. Amber electrifies the crowd and dance floors wherever she performs! Ferrari packs an exhilarating and emotional punch into every live performance with covers of Melissa Etheridge, Heart, Janis Joplin and more, as well as her own phenomenal original songs. Her many fans delight knowing that no two shows are ever the same!
Renowned for her distinguished Show "Joplin's Pearl", Amber continues to electrify the stage. During the first half of her show she performs the music of some of her favorite artists like Melissa Etheridge, Heart, Pat Benatar, Jefferson Airplane and others (as well as her original music)! The second half of her show is dedicated to the greatest rocker of them all, the legendary Janis Joplin. When she steps out on stage dressed as Janis herself and begins to sing you will feel as if you stepped back in time. With complete command of their styles and with authenticity of the music, even the original artists would find Amber Ferrari and her powerful band a "must-see!"
Amber Ferrari's new show "Material Girl" which premiered this past Saturday, April 30th, was Exhilarating! During the 1st half of the show, by popular demand, Amber performed some of her favorites, as well as her original music. The second part of the show brought audiences back to the 80's with the Icon Madonna and the hits that got ya' dancin' like "Vogue" and "Holiday."
Before her performance I sat down backstage with Amber Ferrari as she conveyed her excitement about the show and the release of her new CD "Where Your Wishes Fly."
Cognac: Welcome back darlings, I am Cognac Wellerlane and I am here with Amber Ferrari and she is going to be in concert with the Material Girl and today is releasing a fabulous new CD. Amazing how exciting for you to be opening up right here at the Patchogue Theatre.
Amber: It's very exciting.
Tell my audience… you started out doing this with Janis Joplin and Melissa Ethridge and now the Material Girl… now you are doing it with Madonna. Tell my audience what inspired you to do a whole show about the Material Girl?
Amber: Well it is actually the second half of the show that is dedicated to Madonna and growing up I used to listen to Madonna all the time in the 80's… I love her music so I thought it would be a really be a really fun show to put together, and I did and we are doing it at the Patchogue Theatre, and I am very excited!
We are sitting here amongst all these fabulous costumes. How many costumes changes are you going to be doing this evening?
Amber: In set we are going to do a mixture of Journey, Pat Benatar, Heart, Adele, The Who, Aerosmith, The Eurythmics and a few of my originals from the new CD that was released today. I have five costumes and for the Madonna set I believe I have a total of seven costumes.
Actress Helen Proimos, Singer Amber Ferrari, and Cognac.
Seven costumes, oh my God. Can you tell us a little bit about the costumes.
Amber: Well for the first half of the show the costumes… I basically selected something that I envisioned that fits the style of music that I am performing. Some of them I had made from a design that I had in my head. Others I found in stores and altered them to my liking. For the Madonna set I had a few things made that matched her, especially The Material Girl Gown that she wore in the video from Material Girl.
Oh my God that is amazing. Now tell my audience what inspired you to be an entertainer, a performance artist?
Amber: My parents told me I was singing before I could talk and I have always loved music. I also played violin through school and high school. I just love music so I think it was something I was born with and it is in my blood. My father is a drummer and my father is performing with me tonight. My mom use to play the clarinet and sang. She did all the school musicals. It is in my blood.
What was it about Janis Joplin that you wanted to emulate?
Amber: Well Janice… do a Janis show came up… I was asked to be in a show called "Woodstock Mania," Woodstock Theater in Theater 3 years back. I believe it was in 2006, 2005 even and I didn't think I could sing Janis Joplin's music–not a rock and roll voice–I didn't think I was. I was trained classically as a teenager for a year and a half and I was assured by the musical director of Theater 3 who was also a vocal coach of mine she thought I could do it. So I said "Alright if I can do it I will do it but if I sound terrible I want you to pull me from the show," and I did it and I ended up getting two show stopping standing ovations after "Piece of My Heart," and I said I have to do something with this. The show "Joplin's Pearl" was born from that. My next "Joplin's Pearl" will be here at the Patchogue Theatre on October 8th.
Yes, I heard how exciting and now you are doing Madonna, the Material Girl.
Amber: Two totally different genres.
Did you ever… of course you could never meet Janis Joplin unfortunately she passed away so many years ago but did you ever meet Madonna personally?
Amber: No I haven't. I have seen her in concert.
But you have never met her.
Amber: No, never met her.
Wow, well we have to make that happen, don't we.
Amber: That would be… I have no words… that would be amazing.
You know you look a little bit like her. Do people tell you that?
Amber: No actually they haven't but that is a huge honor because she is a beautiful woman so thank you.
She certainly is. She is very beautiful and how exciting about this particular CD. Tell my audience about this CD what are we going to be hearing.
Singer Amber Ferrari and Cognac.
Amber: The CD is entitled "Where Your Wishes Fly," which is the second track on the CD, it is a ballad. It's a song–I wrote everything with my husband who is my guitarist, Chris Ferrari–it's a song about people just getting through everyday life and you know sometimes wanting to leave their 9 to 5 jobs and just dreaming. It's about people living in other people's dreams and being where other people's wishes fly. The lead off track on the CD is called "My Name is (Karma)" and it talks about karma. If you give good karma you get back good karma. If you give bad karma then bad karma is coming back.
That is true, I tell people that all the time. If you put something negative out in the universe something negative is going to come back to you.
Amber: Absolutely that is what that song is about. The third song on the track is called "Dreamin'," that's great. It's a rock-dance tune. "Karma" is a heavy rock song. After that there is a song entitled "Long Way" that's mid tempo rock tune followed by "Can't Explain" which is a punk rock song and then we put a bonus track on there which is a single that we released last year… gee… it's like, I don't know how to describe it–Latin dance rock tune. It's called "Plastic Passes."
Well I can't wait to listen to this music. I want you to tell my audience now that I am talking to you at the Patchogue Theatre… you must have a favorite tune… you must have something favorite that you have sung… some Madonna classic that you really love the most?
Amber: I would have to say my favorite is "Vogue."
Really, what is it about "Vogue?"
Amber: It is really 1990 but I get away with it because it is so close. I don't know I just like everything about it. There are so many different parts to it.
We are going to hear that tonight?
Amber: Absolutely.
Where can we go to find out more information about your sexy self?
Amber: You can go to my website AmberFerrari.com and on the website are all my links… Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. etc. Thank you so much, Cognac. You're wonderful for being here tonight.
I also had a chance to chat with Comedian Ike Avellli who opened the concert and introduced Amber.
Comic Ike Avelli, Publicist Bernie Fabig, and Cognac.
Ike Avelli began his career in 2009 as a last minute fill-in at a Christmas Party doing Stand Up comedy. The sound of laughter sealed the deal, and he would continue to write and perform his own material.

Village of Patchogue Unveils Newly Renovated 1923 Patchogue Theatre on March 30, 2016
April 6, 2016 by Cognac Wellerlane
On Wednesday, March 30, the village of Patchogue unveiled the renewed 1923 Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts (PTPA) venue to the media.
The occasion was marked by a ribbon cutting ceremony at 4 p.m. followed by media tours given by PTPA Board Member Christopher Capobianco. Suffolk County elected officials as well as recently reelected Patchogue Village Mayor Paul Pontieri, Deputy Mayor Jack Krieger, the Patchogue Village Board of Trustees and the Theatre Board of Directors were also present to greet the media and special guests.
I had the opportunity to chat with Bernie Fabig Public Relations & Marketing Director of the theatre.
Cognac: Welcome back darlings, I am Cognac Wellerlane and I am here with the publicist of the Patchogue Theatre who helped make this wonderful event take place. Introduce yourself to the camera darling.
Bernie: Hi, I am Bernie Fabig and I started working for the Patchogue Theatre about a year ago.
Yes, we met about a year ago.
Bernie: Yes and it was love at first sight.
It was love at first sight. I came to a fantastic event here… very famous opera singer…
Bernie: Yes, Ronan Tynan
Ronan Tynan… he did a spectacular job and since then you have renovated the theatre even more.
David Kennedy, Executive Director of Patchogue Chamber of Commerce
Bernie: Yes we gave the theatre a total facelift. It was little over one million dollars–brand new seats, wider more spacious comfortable seating. We also repaired the floors and sixty percent of the ceiling was replaced.
Bernie: We added modern upgrades. We added LED bulbs for the lighting to save money because we are a non-profit that manages the theatre. So it was really a great undertaking. It was three months from January to March.
Oh my God. Did you close down the theatre completely?
Bernie: Yes the theatre was closed down for the whole three months so it felt like forever but it really wasn't that much time for all the work they did. They worked day and night to get this theatre ready.
Now you are all prepared to have the best shows on Long Island.
Bernie: Yes we are the largest theatre in Suffolk County and so we try to have a wide variety of programming and our first show is April 2nd featuring the Chapin Family so we are very excited about that show.
You are also going to have this wonderful Amber Ferrari, I can't wait to see that show. She invited me to see her show.
Bernie: Yes, Amber will be singing "The Material Girl," Madonna, so it's going to be great, plus her own original music and she is such a talent. She really is.
Singer Songwriter Amber Ferrari and Cognac
Sure is. I can't wait for that. What's happening in the Summer… more events… more shows?
Bernie: In the Summer what happens Gateway comes in and they bring their Broadway caliber productions to Long Island so they will be doing their shows. They will be doing "Priscilla Queen of the Desert."
Here at the theatre? Wow
Bernie: Here at the theatre and they will be doing "Dancing with the Movies," which are famous dance scenes from the movies like "Singing in the Rain."
What a delight right here on Long Island, the best place in the whole world. Where can we go to find out more information?
Bernie: People can go to PatchogueTheatre.org.
During the champagne reception I spoke to Patchogue Village Mayor Paul Pontieri about the significance of the Patchogue Theatre.
Cognac: Can you tell my audience how important this theatre is to the community.
Mayor Paul Pontieri: This theatre will attract 150,000 people. It will do 150 to 160 performances. Those 160 days and nights there will be an extra 1,000 people in the village on Main Street. It gives us notoriety and it brings culture to the village. Government does for the people what people can't do for themselves and the arts is one of those things. We provide the arts. We provide music. We provide entertainment and we provide commerce on Main Street. It is tremendously important.
Mayor Paul Pontieri with Cognac.
The Patchogue Village Center for the Performing Arts, Inc., has been organized under and by virtue of the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law of the State of New York in order to manage The Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts in the public interest.
Scott Allan, Director of Development and Public Relations of the Gateway Playhouse
The Center's mission is to have The Patchogue Theatre serve as a cultural center for Long Island. The Center expects to achieve its mission by showcasing a broad spectrum of performing arts for the benefit of a wide-ranging audience at affordable prices. The Center will utilize The Patchogue Theatre as a full-time mixed-use venue, offering a variety of events including live performances, films, educational presentations, commercial productions, community forums, and other appropriate events.

Long Islanders Celebrate Irish Day With Their Annual St. Patrick's Parade and Parlay Gastropub Restaurant
March 24, 2016 by Cognac Wellerlane
(Long Island, NY) Long Island residents celebrated Irish Day in Rockville Centre with the 20th Rockville Center St. Patrick's Parade. The event took place on Saturday March 19, 2016.
With much anticipation the Parade route began on the corner of Long Beach Road and Maple Avenue. Marchers headed west on Maple until the street ended; the parade then took a sharp right turn on North Park Ave, a quick sharp left onto College Place, continuing onto Quealy Place where paraders passed Village Hall and the St. Agnes Cathedral. Paraders continued on to the end of Quealy and made a left onto North Village Avenue and a right onto Washington Street coming to an end at Parking Field 2.
Patron Jon Arneth celebrates with Cognac Wellerlane.
The Rockville Centre St. Patrick's Parade is proudly known as the Parade that Cares and Shares—what a brilliant decision by those founders back in 1997 to build in a way to give back. Rockville Centre's is the only St. Patrick's Parade that raises money and promotes three different charities each year. In the Parade's previous 19 years organizers raised $933,000 for 58 individual charities. They are very close to that 1 million dollar raised mark, and with continued support they may very well reach their goal of surpassing a million dollars.
This year they add three more charities to the roster. The organization takes the process in choosing each charity very seriously and is overjoyed by the 2016 Sponsor Charities.
Rob Verderosa with Cognac.
The Irish Charity is the Ballinasloe Eagles Special Olympics Club—from Galway Ireland. This is an organization that is dedicated to helping special athletes train and compete at a high levels in horseback riding, golf, and swimming. Their athletes face many challenges in life but the chance to participate in sports brings them many social opportunities for inclusion and the enhancement of their self esteem. They may be 5000+ miles away, but because of this partnership everyone knows who they are and, perhaps equally important, they know who Rockville Centre is.
The Parade's National Charity is the Children's Tumor Foundation. The Children's Tumor Foundation is an organization dedicated to finding effective treatments for the millions of people worldwide living with neurofibromatosis (NF). NF causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body resulting in many difficult and painful medical conditions. One of the goals of CTF is to expand public awareness of NF to promote earlier and accurate diagnoses by the medical community, increase the non-affected population's understanding of the challenges facing people with NF and encourage financial and other forms of support from public and private sources. This is where the 2016 Parade comes in—for those who do not know of CTF before this Parade their mission is for all to become aware and to support. Continued support will go towards treatments and a cure for all the NF Heroes out there.
Delicious food from Parlay Gastropub.
Michael O'Reilly was Grand Marshall for this year's event. After the parade pedestrians and Rockville Centre residents visited the many restaurants and pubs celebrating Irish Day. One big contributor and supporter of the event was Parlay Gastropub Restaurant, located at 210 Merrick Rd in Rockville Centre.
I sat down with Manager Rob Verderosa who explained what Irish Day means to the community and what Parlay Gastropub was offering.
Cognac: Welcome back darling I am Cognac Wellerlane and we are here at Parlay Restaurant to celebrate Irish Day and I am here with the Manager. Introduce yourself to the camera.
Rob: Absolutely, hello everyone my name is Robert Verderosa. We are here at Parlay Gastropub Restaurant in Rockville Centre. Today is the beautiful Irish Day festivities that are done in Rockville Centre every year.
I understand there was a big parade earlier and everyone came in here afterwards.
Rob: Yes, there is a big parade every year. It starts about 11:30 – 12:00 PM and then when the parade is done everyone and all the bars and the restaurants in the town celebrate the festivities from now until 1:00 AM.
Fantastic! First there was a brunch and now everyone is having dinner and a fantastic time. Tell my audience what we are eating… there's chicken wings and there is also steak.
Rob: Yes, right here you have the Prime Rib French Dip—one of our staples here. We just updated our menu; we have eleven different flavors of wings that nobody has anywhere else. We are a gastropub. A lot of people ask, "What is a gastropub?" We are a pub that takes pride in high quality food and has a spin on certain dishes you would not normally see.
Parlay Gastropub offers a creative, high-quality food menu, an extensive specially cocktail list and 40 craft beers. Beer enthusiast can sample any beer by ordering a beer tasting flight with their meal. Parlay Gastropub was voted up one hundred brunches in America by Open Table. You can enjoy a decadent brunch menu of savory and sweet edible items unlike any other trendy eatery in Long Island.
They also serve delicious dinners accompanied by flat screen televisions to watch sport games and a vivacious party atmosphere on the weekends—there is always some thing for everyone to enjoy. The restaurant is open for dinner and happy hour Monday through Friday. After hours is party night on Fridays and Saturdays, and there is always brunch on Saturday and Sunday.

Paname NYC Restaurant – A Tasting of the Seasonal Winter Menu
February 29, 2016 by Cognac Wellerlane
New York, NY – During my week covering New York Fashion Week I also experienced dining at many high end eateries. I was invited to dine at one of my favorites, Paname NYC Restaurant, by a dear friend of my mine, Miriam Silverberg. The restaurant is currently featuring its New Winter menu and Miriam wanted us to experience the new dishes that were artistically created to be edible and enormously satisfying to the palate.
Ms. Silverberg is a top New York City publicist and has represented many restaurants in New York City.
Paname NYC Chef Bernard Ros and Cognac.
Before dinner I sat down with owner, Chef Bernard Ros who explained that the name Paname is a French slang for Paris. Chef Bernard has traveled extensively throughout Europe as a restaurant consultant. He has owned many restaurants in Manhattan and Paname is his latest accomplishment. Paname has now been established as a neighborhood favorite with fabulous dishes such as Escargots de Bourgogne in Russet Potatoes and Atlantic Salmon, Lemon Rind with Pepperade Couus and Fondant de Betterqave.
Dinner is served.
Paname Restaurant is situated on 1068 2nd Ave between 56th and 57th Street in Midtown NYC. The first time I visited the restaurant it immediately reminded me of a restaurant I dined at a few years ago near Sacre Coeur, Paris. It has a relaxing, cozy and comfortable atmosphere that is paired with warm dimmed lighting and romantic French music. An ideal spot for relaxation and romance.
I always enjoy my dining experiences at Paname and what Chef Bernard has to say about his current menus.
Cognac: Welcome back darlings, I am Cognac Wellerlane and I am here at this wonderful French Restaurant Paname and I am here with Chef Bernard.
Chef Bernard: Hello
Hello darling, it is a pleasure to see you and come back and to be talking to you about your Winter Menu.
Chef Bernard: Thank you. It's nice to have you here. The Winter menu is a little different than the menu we have for the Summer. As you can see we have the Escargot, we have the Crab Cakes and the Tomato Mozzarella. Our specialty cocktail is a Champagne Glass with Passion Fruit.
Appetizing dishes at Paname.
Yes, I see that.
Chef Bernard: With the main course we added to the menu the Pork Scallopini with Mushroom Giroffle and Cidre Cream Fraiche.
Yes that is what I am going to have today.
Chef Bernard: We also have a big selection of fish. We have a cod fish which is one of our specialties and the salmon which is a classic. We have to have it because of the presentation of the salmon is outstanding.
I always love to eat your salmon. It is amazing.
Chef Bernard: When it comes out you are really going to love it. It has a really good eye effect, plus the taste.
Salmon at Paname.
After dinner we were treated to an array of beautiful desserts that the restaurant is famous for, including Apple Tarte, Tarte Tatin, Flourless Chocolate Cake, Mousse au Chocolat, Crepe Maison, Tahitian Vanilla Ice Cream and Les Sorbets.
Paname C'est Paris is clearly a very special and favorite neighborhood French Restaurant.

Macabre Faire Film Festival Premiers 146 Film Titles
January 19, 2016 by Cognac Wellerlane
This past weekend The Macabre Faire Film Festival returned again to celebrate excellence in independent Horror films from around the world on Long Island at the Upsky Hotel in Hauppauge.
Macabre Faire events and Film Festival has a reputation for being a very friendly environment with a wonderful celebratory ambiance within an intimately sized space. If you are a person who needs to be at an event with 1000's of people in a large space where you may need to attach a GPS on your friends & family so that you can find each other quickly and easily… then the Macabre Faire Film Festival may not be the event for you. However, if you prefer an atmosphere that runs steady; you enjoy costumes; you love movies, music, Halloween and fun non-pressuring vendors; you genuinely enjoy making new friends; you appreciate everything being within close proximity; and are comfortable around a few hundred macabre-loving fans like yourself, then it is most certainly the event for you.
Actors Thomas Ryan and Edward X Young from FACES poses for a photo-op with Cognac Wellerlane
For starters the word "Macabre" is pronounced "ma-cob." The "re" is hardly ever heard. What does it mean?
Although it is an adjective meaning "disturbing and horrifying because of involvement with or depiction of death and injury," you should approach the Macabre Faire Film Festival with a lighter touch in so far as not all of the films screened are a gore-fest. Of course there isn't anything wrong with adding some gore to your film but, when we hear the word "Macabre" we remember those hauntingly fascinating films that starred legendary greats such as: Vincent Price & Peter Cushing. Or those fantastic Gothic Horrors like those from "Hammer" films. These names in themselves represent what "macabre" means to the Macabre Fair Film Festival.
Their mission is to provide a venue for showcasing films within a celebratory & respectful environment, where fans can enjoy the independent films entered by those who passionately craft their Strange, Weird, Horrifying, Sci-Fi-tastic, Fantastical and Macabre-laden films. The opportunity to win awards, increase film visibility via press and possibly obtain distribution is always part of the equation with the Macabre Faire Film Festival.
In between my interviews with the filmmakers I sat down with Elsie Ginsberg, Co-founder of the Macabre Film Festival.
Macabre Faire Film Festival Co-founder Elsie Ginsberg and Cognac Wellerlane.
Cognac: Welcome back darlings, I am here with the Co-founder Elsie Ginsberg. Elsie how many years have you been doing this?
Elsie: Only three years.
Only three years. Every year it gets bigger and better. Every year it becomes more spectacular.
Elsie: Well, thank you. That's right you were here last January. We actually doubled the attendance. I am trying to whisper because Father Evil just won Best Villain Competition and he is accepting right now but we are really excited about the Macabre Film Festival this year and we are really gearing up for 2017 already.
Tell my audience how many films were shown this year at the Macabre Faire Film Festival?
Elsie: Well this is the first time that we are screening four days for a total of 146 film titles.
Wow… now best in category for how many films total?
Elsie: I would say there are twenty different categories. Remember we are talking about features and shorts so that's a lot.
Do you have a favorite category?
Elsie: They're all here and I have seen every single one of them. For me my favorite part is them just enjoying the stage we fill for them which is exactly what's happening. Look at the place–this is… I mean, this is what you would see in Hollywood.
There is nothing else like it. I go to many, many film festivals including the Hamptons International Film Festival and they don't do this.
Elsie: They don't?
They do not do this. They have sought of like an award event but it's not the same and people do not look as glamorous and they are movie stars.
Elsie: But remember what I told you all along for us the goal is to raise the bar where it comes to the Horror or the Macabre Genre and we are sticking to it. I know we may be ruffling a lot of feathers in the process but at the end of the day that is the vision, and if I don't stay true to that vision we will never elevate the bar and dammit I will die trying.
Don't say that word tonight.
Elsie: No, no, no it is my passion…you have to understand for me this is what I am living for right now to make this happen.
I think that's what keeps you going too.
Elsie: Plus all the filmmakers that I deal with and how difficult it can be. My stress levels are high.
Your stress levels may be high but you do a fantastic job every single year. Every year you get top notch films and top celebrities that come to this event.
Elsie: From the independent world, yes.
But now a lot these movies are being shown on Netflix, and Edward X Young told me his film you can buy at Best Buy.
Elsie: Edward X Young is on everything–even my interview. You know what, we love him. What's great is that the different outlets are making it easier for these wonderful filmmakers to be able to showcase what they love so much. Their craft, their skill of film-making. So I am happy that they got that outlet. We are simply building a stage to be noticed for them, to get their work out there so with that said I am going to run off.
Tell my audience one more thing where can they go to find out more information about the Macabre Fair Film Festival?
Elsie: You just said it. Go to our website, MacabreFaireFilmFest.com, and "Faire" is with the "e" at the end. You will see how much time and love we have put into that website for the filmmakers.
You're gorgeous.
Elsie: Thank you.

Long Islanders Create New Memories at The Savoy Night Club on New Years Eve in The Hilton Hotel
January 5, 2016 by Cognac Wellerlane
Huntington, NY – Long Islanders made the Hilton Hotel their choice for celebrating the New Year. There was a multiple parties to pick from, including The New Year's Eve bash at the Grand Ballroom–which featured a 5-course gourmet dinner, open bar, live band, and an overnight stay in a Deluxe Guest Room–and The Savory Club New Year's Eve bash–which included dancing to a live DJ performance, cocktails, hors d'oeuvres served by white gloves on elegant silver platters, and an open bar with premium liquors.
I enjoyed the evening and was happy to chat with the staff including Director of Sales and Marketing Dorothy Roberts and Sales Manager Gino Veneroso who invited me to the elegant gala.
Before the evening got underway I sat down with the Director of Sales and Marketing, Dorothy Roberts, who explained the details of the evening's agenda.
Cognac: Welcome back darlings, I am Cognac Wellerlane and we are here at the Savoy night Club; it's New Year's Eve and I am here with Dorothy Roberts, Director of Sales and Marketing. This is a fabulous evening tonight. It's a very special evening. Tell my audience what we can expect tonight here at the Savoy.
Dorothy: Well we are very excited because it is a special night for us. We decided to bring back the Savoy Night Club for one night only–New Years Eve–so for us this is kind of like a once in a lifetime thing for everybody that works here and everybody that lives in this area that can come here tonight. We are also thinking about doing something in the future if this goes well tonight. We would like to bring it back from time to time.
I would love that.
Dorothy: Well when I just started working here I heard so many people talk about the Long Island Exchange that used to be the nightclub. I heard so many stories from people that really had great memories.
This is so weird because that's the name of the online newspaper, LongIslandExchange.com, that I write for. That is so uncanny and so surreal that I would be doing this interview with you about a nightclub with the same name as the online newspaper that I write for.
Dorothy: Well, tonight we have a lot of different things planned. We have an open bar for five hours, we have white glove service for hors d'oeuvres, we are doing a balloon drop at 12:00 midnight, we have a big screen behind the DJ for the live telecast from Times Square. So tonight we really are all about the vibe and the feel of New Year's Eve, and celebrating all together here. The Huntington Hilton has been around for a long time and there are so many people that came back tonight that haven't been here for a while. They wanted to come back just because we opened the Savoy here tonight.
When was the hotel built?
Dorothy: I believe it was built back in the 80's.
That's what Meredith said, the Director of Human Resources.
Dorothy: It was built back in the 80's and this used to be the club called the Long Island Exchange and I just read something yesterday that back in 1989 The New York Times wrote a lot of articles that it was the in place to be in the New York Metro area.
In all of the metropolitan area?
Dorothy: They said there used to be a thousand people here in one night and there used to be a line at the door that used to go all the way out to the parking lot.
This was in the 1980's?
Dorothy: Yes around 1989.
Oh my God.
Dorothy: Yes and a lot of people remember this place from that time.
Well Let's hope that we can bring back old memories and maybe create some new memories here on New Year's Eve.
Dorothy: By popular demand we had so many people that called us today and said "We want to come down today and pay at the door." We weren't going to do that but we got so many calls so we said "Absolutely come on down we are open until 1:00 AM in the morning if you want to come down tonight you can pay at the door."
What's the website?
Dorothy: It's HiltonLongIsland.com.

The 12th Annual Christmas in Italy at the Skirball Performing Arts Center, Starring Cristina Fomtanelli
December 22, 2015 by Cognac Wellerlane
New York, NY – It was a Merry Christmas Italian-style at the 12th Annual "Christmas In Italy" showcasing at the Skirball Center for Performing Arts in Greenwich Village in New York City on December 19, 2015.
Audiences started new traditions and created lovely family memories as they were transported to La Bella Italia! All that attended enjoyed the strains of the mandolins, the beautiful Children singing (the Little Language Studio of Brooklyn) and dancing (Dance Electra of Staten Island), plus the Richmond Choral Society of Staten Island with the Arcadian Chorale of NJ performing during this special concert. Opera Star Cristina Fonantelli and her wonderful PBS-TV co-hosts, Denise Richardson and Jim Masters, were happily joined together on this Vocal Journey through Italy's best-loved songs and the World's best-loved Christmas classics.
After the concert I sat down with Cristina as she explained the history of "Christmas in Italy."
Cognac: Welcome back darlings, I am Cognac Wellerlane and we are here at the Skirball Center. It's "Christmas In Italy" and I am here with Opera Star Cristina Fomtanelli. Cristina this was such a spectacular event.
Cristina: Thank you Cognac, should I say Gracia.
Cristina: It's "Christmas In Italy."
Cristina: It's twelve years.
Twelve years. I was just about to ask you. This was established twelve years ago. Can you tell my audience a little about the story–how it happened?
Cristina: Sure, I would be happy to. I had a vision for "Christmas In Italy" because I sang at an event where there was a New York Times reporter and I thought I was famous. I sang "Torna a Surriento." (serenading) So I thought it was a famous song until the Times reporter came up to me and said "What is that? It's beautiful… what is that?" I had to explain to him that it is a Neapolitan Folk song and he wrote about it in the New York Times the next day and I had this idea. I said "We can't lose these beautiful songs…"
Christmas in Italy: Cognac and Cristina
That's a pretty old song. How old is that song? Do you know the origin of that song? Do you know how old that song is?
Cristina: Turn of the century around the 1890's or something like that. I decided… a light bulb went off I said, "You know I am going to have a concert, a show once a year—what better time but Christmas? Because it should be for families so that older generations can pass the music down… can pass the joy down." So that's what I did. I started it twelve years ago and as you can see today we have lights and sets…
It was so beautiful. It was just the most beautiful thing. It reminded me of "White Christmas" you know when Bing Crosby sings at the end of the movie. You remember with all the ballerinas and the children and the Christmas Tree…everybody is in red. It was just so gorgeous!
Cristina: Well, thank you. You know it's really old fashioned. To me "Christmas In Italy" is going back in time. It's like a time capsule of when families were happy and joyful with each other and felt safe with each other and all the relatives came over that is the thing that I want to keep.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was such a beautiful concert. Can you tell my audience how many songs you sang throughout the evening?
Cristina: Oh I don't count, but it is a a marathon.
Was it something like twenty songs?
Cristina: Something like that. We also had kids dancing, Weren't they great?
They were terrific. The kids dancing, singing… it was just a beautiful, absolutely adorable show.
Cristina: And Santa Claus…
Of course Santa Claus at the end. Tell my audience, Cristina you work on so many wonderful things. What is next for you? What can we expect in the new year 2016?
Cristina: Well you know this show twelve years later is really headed for some big things. I have been pointing it towards television and it looks like it is definitely going there—major television—I can't say where exactly. Also in the Spring I am going to do The Great International Song Book at Baruch College in New York, and I sing in eight languages so that is not only going to be Italian songs so to speak, but the songs of the world. I go down to Florida in January with orchestras—every year brings new and wonderful thing you know. So let's see what happens in 2016,
I can't wait darling, I can't wait. I want you to tell my audience where we can go to find information. What is the website?
Cristina: It's an Italian name, ladies and gentleman, CristinaFontanelli.com I took the "h" out of "Cristina" and "Fontanelli" means "little fountains" in Italian.
Christmas in Italy PBS Emcee, Jim Masters.
Cristina has become a well-known personality through her recordings, her appearances on TV, radio, in concert, nightclubs, opera and through her acting debut on network television. She has appeared as PBS-TV/NY affiliates host for Andrea Bocelli's Live From Central Park, also starring Celine Dion and Tony Bennett; for the Il Volo Takes Flight special; Vienna Boys Choir and Qi Gong PBS-TV Specials. In November of 2014 Cristina was chosen by the Italian government as a world-wide representative of the Puglia region to sing in Bari, Italy. She is the "Voice of Domino's Pizza" on their national radio commercial, the voice of "Nonna" on PBS-TV Chef Lidia Bastianich's Christmas special (in over 300 PBS outlets across the U.S.) and has appeared on CBS Weekend NY in interview/performance/co-hosting roles for the past 2 years. Cristina's beautiful soprano voice has taken her to the White House as part of President Clinton's holiday celebration and Cristina was invited to open the ceremonies at the Stars and Stripes Inaugural Ball for President George W. Bush. This following her "Lifetime Achievement Award in the Arts" from the Order Sons of Italy in America (previous honorees include Luciano Pavarotti).
She has appeared with many famous recording artists and big talents including Tony Bennett and Joel Grey. Ms. Fontanelli is a guest artist with many prestigious orchestras including the Boston Pops and the St. Louis Symphony performing in major concert halls throughout the U.S. and the world, including the Lincoln and Kennedy Centers and major concert halls throughout the Far East and Canada.

Soundaffects.org's mission is to support a crowdfunding platform to connect individuals seeking dramatically improved outcomes with bio-entrepreneurs actively working towards cures. They strategically partner with celebrity and amateur musical artists to promote their approach to revolutionizing the war on cancer. Music is their metaphorical torch.
Sound Affects offers a model for redefining our social contract for the war on cancer. Central to this, They believe the public can and must play a greater role in shaping a more innovative approach to fighting cancer. Their mission is to increase promising treatments in the pipeline by empowering individuals to directly support bio-entrepreneurs, translating research into groundbreaking cancer solutions.
I was honored to speak to Mona Jhaveri Executive Director and Chairman of The Board of Soundaffects.org who expressed, "Soundaffects.org is a charitable organization. We are a new organization and the way we distinguish ourselves is that we are fighting this war on cancer differently. We want to transform how the war on cancer is fought and financed. We are focusing on a new area, not research but what happens when research creates discoveries, cures breakthroughs……the public doesn't necessarily understand whether or not they actually make it to people to help them. We are focused on that area to translate new breakthroughs and discoveries and into real medicines for people which is what we see in our great talent in our worth."

Rebecca and Stuart's larger than life Real Wedding aptly titled 'Wedfest' is a whirlwind of creativity from the start, from the incredible styling by Pearl and Godiva to carnival themed waiters in glitter and top hats from Queens of Neon and a delicious pig roasted on a spit by Wildside Catering.
How did you lovebirds meet...We both spent our childhood summers in Courtmacsherry, in West Cork. Stuart is 3 years younger than me so he wasn't really on my 'radar' so to speak when we were growing up, no matter how many times he cycled past me! When I finished school, I went off on my travels and Stuart went to live in Coutmacsherry to progress in his career at sea. Many years after that, I went back to Courtmacsherry one weekend with my brother Greg and his friends. I spotted Greg talking to this gorgeous guy I asked him 'Who was that?' I almost fell off my stool when he told me it was young Stuart Murphy all grown up!!! He spent the evening with our group, keeping us all entertained — he is the funniest person I know and also the shyest! I knew if I wanted anything to happen I would definitely be the person to make the move. So I rounded up the troops to come down with me the following weekend. Luckily I met him again and sealed the deal with a big kiss, much to Stuarts shock! The rest as they say is history…..
How did the proposal go...Again we were down in Courtmacsherry (back to the scene of the crime!), I'm always trying to get Stuart to come out on these big hikes with me and the dog and that Sunday morning he actually suggested we go for a hike. Off we set and proceed to climb this really big hill, there is a lovely little wooden bench at the top of hill where you can see all the 7 heads. When we got to the top Stuart said he needed to sit down, which is not unusual! I was standing on the bench and when I turned around there was Stuart on one knee! He said some really lovely things and then asked me to married him. I burst into tears, the poor dog didn't have a clue what was happening. It was just perfect!
Rebecca travelled in style to the church in a brilliant yellow VW Campervan that was a must have for her groom... Stuart is obsessed with the old VW campervans, so I really wanted to make sure that I was able to make that happen for him. 'Sonny' our Lazy days campervan was just brilliant- I think I might be converted!
Rebecca and Stuart said 'I do' in the beautiful St. James Church in Durras.
Glengarriff Lodge is an enchanted place, perfect for a wedfest style wedding and Rebecca and Stuart just stumbled upon it...Stuart loves to go on these drives down the narrowest, windiest roads you can imagine just to see where they come out. Usually I have no interest but on this particular day I was full of adventure myself. I saw a sign post for Barley Lake and said lets go down there for a look. On the way down I saw Glengarriff Lodge and almost caused a crash shouting 'Stop the car' it just looked magical. We took a few pictures and continued on. I looked it up when we got home and saw that it was possible to rent out for weddings and I made a mental note of it! When we got engaged, since we both wanted a festival vibe I knew there was no other place then the Lodge for this day to take place for us.
Rebecca and Stuart called on the talents of Amy from Rubistyle to photograph their big day, with the enchanted forests of Glengarriff Lodge as a backdrop the photo shoot was everything our One Fab Day lovebirds could hope for!
Meanwhile back at the lodge guest enjoyed the tasty delights of Wildside Catering...with the amazing team from The Queens of Neon in all their glorious glittery costumes at the guests service - fantastic!
After the drinks reception guests were greeted with amazing decor in the marquee...We both wanted a very relaxed day full of love and laughter. We wanted as much as possible to incorporate a festival vibe as the Electric Picnic is our favorite weekend of the year! Glengarriff Lodge is just such a magical setting that we knew it was going to be possible to create that vibe. I had a very clear idea on how I wanted the whole day to look sort of Enchanted Forest/Come marry me down the wood style. After doing my research on your site, I came across Pearl from Pearl & Godiva, she was just amazing. Nothing was too big or too small to help me with, her imagination is just as vivid as mine.
This wedding keeps getting better, super fun couple alert!
What was your favourite moment of the day? That is such a toughie, I loved the hustle and bustle of everyone arriving on the morning, I loved getting ready, it was so relaxed and surreal, I LOVED the church, it was such a joyful and personal celebration. But I think the stand out thing was everyone knew we were going to do things a little differently and maybe a little apprehensive as to how it would work. The Church really set the tone for what was to come as it was so light hearted and joyous that when everyone arrived back to the lodge, everyone just went with it and really enjoyed themselves. Seeing Stuarts uncles and cousins doing the limbo we had set up at the end of the dance floor was something I was not expecting to see, but I absolutely LOVED it.
A must have for a festival style wedding...a pig on a spit!
Love, love, love...amazing use of vintage china, coloured glassware and mix match vases!
Stuart's cousin Shane is the most amazing artist and graphic designer. I wanted the invitations to be very personal and set the lighthearted tone we wanted to create, Shane helped me come up with the most amazing invites ever. We carried the design through to the menus and church booklets.
What advice would you give to brides and grooms planning their big day? I know it sounds so clichéd but RELAX and enjoy it. Spend time together on the day. Do exactly what you want to do, please each other rather trying to please everybody else. There is not one single thing we would do differently, except maybe change the church to 9am so the day could have been longer!
Congratulations to Rebecca and Stuart on their super stylish wedfest wedding day!


Welcome to the new Naked Loon blog Retailtastic, everybody! I love to shop, and I am totally excited about the opportunity to share some of my exhilarating shopping experiences with you all!
Occasionally when I'm out shopping I'll notice something crazy, and I think "wow, I really wish I could tell a bunch of people about this." Well now I can! Lucky you!


This is a great area for small weddings under 30 guests. Great soft sandy beach and not as busy compared to most beaches. My bride and groom wanted to keep it simple and fun with just family and close friends. Jason and Jessica went to the Brown Boxer after for a Dinner reception with a fun atmosphere and private buffet for 20 guests.


Edison Spaces opened its doors in 2017, with the purpose to serve as a stepping stone for Kansas City startups and entrepreneurs.
The idea, says Tim Barton, founder, is to accommodate the growth of young companies without weighing them down with unnecessary overhead and infrastructure.
"We know small businesses are in the process of scaling, but often can't predict their size in one year, much less three. That's why we don't lock them into long-term contracts. They can sign a three-month minimum contract, and go month to month following. It's our goal to help them grow in Edison Spaces and eventually, grow out of Edison Spaces," says Matt Druten, co-founder and managing director.
A small, and growing business itself — Edison Spaces opens its doors to all those small businesses in Kansas City looking to get ahead.
Edison Spaces was created by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. Tim Barton and Matt Druten, both formerly of Freightquote, designed Edison Spaces to prioritize privacy and focus while still making a flexible office space for growing teams. By providing the most square footage, with the best technology infrastructure, Edison Spaces customers are able to hit the ground running with no business delay.

Q: Veryfing pg_restore database with pg_dump database I just did a migration from Postgres 9.4 to 10 database.
How to verify if everything is okay?
I tried to look into huge tables, the rows are different (somehow in Postgres 10 then are more rows than in 9.4)
PSQL 9.4: 14 583 936
PSQL 10:  14 880 545

here are my pg_dump and pg_restore commands which were executed without errors, but took very long process, dump was 12hours, while pg_restore 10hours:

Australia continues climate obstructionism in Lima
By James Wight in Climate, Climate Politics, Greenwash, News, Politics, UN Climate Talks
The COP20 climate talks in Lima, Peru concluded yesterday. It will take a while to sift through the outcomes and figure out what they mean, but for now I want to concentrate on the Australian government, which has unsurprisingly continued its crusade against climate action.
Unlike last year when Australia didn't bother to send a minister to the talks, this time around we're sending two. Unfortunately neither of them is the Environment Minister: Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, and Trade and Investment Minister Andrew Robb. Both of them are climate change deniers, and they are accompanied by BHP lobbyists.
According to news reports, this unusual arrangement is due to a power struggle between Bishop, PM Tony Abbott, his Cabinet, and his chief of staff Peta Credlin. Credlin blocked Bishop's initial proposal to attend the conference, Bishop bypassed Credlin by securing Cabinet's approval, and Abbott personally requested that she be chaperoned by Robb. Robb was a key player in installing Abbott as Liberal Party leader five years ago. It's unclear whether this intrigue is over policy differences or simply power. Reportedly Bishop's reason for attending is so Australia doesn't look bad for not attending, but on the other hand Abbott is apparently concerned that Bishop might agree to something "too green".
There is little danger of that. Australia has been declared the world's worst-performing developed country in a new Climate Change Performance Index report from think-tank Germanwatch and Climate Action Network (CAN). Denmark came in at fourth place, with the top three rankings left blank to symbolize the reality that no country is doing anywhere near enough.
CAN has also granted Australia five Fossil of the Day awards. The first and third were for refusing to contribute finance to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) – more on that in a moment. The second was for arguing that the promised "loss and damage" mechanism should be merely part of adaptation. The fourth was for trying to remove from the negotiating text any mentions of "global solidarity" and the agreed goal to limit global warming to below 1.5-2°C above preindustrial, saying they do not understand the concept of a temperature limit. The fifth was because Robb told an audience of Australian businesspeople that Australia won't sign up to next year's agreement if it disadvantages us relative to our "major trade competitors" (who apparently now include Saudi Arabia, the most anti-climate country of all). Finally, Australia received the Fossil of the Year award for all of the above and more.
Midweek, Bishop did a minor backflip and announced $200 million over four years for the GCF. This is surprising because Abbott previously compared the GCF to the domestic $10 billion Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) which he is trying to abolish. But Australia's GCF pledge is merely redirected from the existing foreign aid budget, which the Abbott government has already cut by $7.6 billion (and will cut yet again in today's budget update). This will not be appreciated by poor countries who need new funding to adapt to the impacts of climate change. Anyway, $50 million per year is not much compared to the $100 billion per year by 2020 that the developed world promised to deliver, and Robb has assured business lobbyists there will be no more funding.
Greens leader Christine Milne suggests the money is merely an attempt by Australia to buy influence in the talks. I agree. Just as Abbott tried to deflect attention from his inequitable budget with an insignificant deficit tax, now he's trying to misdirect our attention away from his systematic sabotaging of climate action. It's blatant tokenism and, like the deficit tax, it won't work.
To add to this dishonest hypocrisy, Bishop bragged to the conference about the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and Renewable Energy Target (RET), failing to mention that the government wants to abolish ARENA and sabotage the RET. (Similarly, last month Abbott bragged to the G20 about CEFC and forgot to mention he wants to abolish that too.) I continue to be astounded by the government's brazenness in telling different things to different audiences, and I hope nobody is fooled. At least Bishop acknowledged the RET is supposed to be "at least" 20%, something the government has been denying all year. Bishop also didn't mention Australia's ongoing expansion of fossil fuel exports. Though technically the UN accounting system doesn't consider Australia responsible for the climate impacts, in reality our fossil fuel exports will massively increase global warming.
Simultaneously, Abbott announced a taskforce in the Prime Minister's department to propose a possible post-2020 emissions target for Australia to announce in mid-2015 (several months after the UN deadline). Abbott has ignored advice from the Climate Change Authority (CCA) to cut emissions 19% below 2000 by 2020 and 40-60% by 2030 (though CCA's targets are not as impressive as they sound, for reasons that will become clear in a moment). This decision parallels the approach Abbott has taken to the RET, ignoring CCA's (again inadequate) advice to maintain the present RET and instead employing climate denier Dick Warburton to come up with the predetermined conclusion that it should be slashed.
Abbott's and Bishop's press releases referred to the conference as the "UNCCC" for "United Nations Climate Change Conference". Its correct name is, of course, the 20th Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC COP20). This is the latest in a long line of incompetent factual errors and laughably simplistic documents put out by this government. I don't know how anyone can perceive the government's statements as in any way authoritative when they can't even remember the correct name for a body that has existed for 22 years.
The Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), Independent Association of Latin America and the Caribbean (AILAC), and Norway called for the world to set a target to phase out fossil fuels by 2050 (and AOSIS countries are already pledging to do this). This is the kind of action needed to keep global warming below 2°C (let alone to restore a truly safe climate, which requires more rapid emissions cuts and removing carbon from the atmosphere). Yet Bishop ridiculed the proposal: "How could one possibly commit to having a fossil fuel free world by 2050?"
On Thursday, Climate Action Tracker released a report confirming what we already knew: Australia's emissions are on track to go up, not down. Our annual emissions from energy and industrial sources are already 31% higher than in 1990, because a previous Australian government inserted a clause in the Kyoto Protocol that allowed us to meet our first Kyoto target through pre-existing land carbon storage without reducing these more permanent emissions. Even if Australia achieves its pathetic voluntary pledge of 5% below 2000 by 2020 (which it won't under current policies), its energy and industry emissions in 2020 will still be 26% above 1990 levels. Australia's mandatory Kyoto Protocol target, 0.5% below 1990 during 2013-2020, is even less stringent: our surplus emissions permits from land use reduction, among other accounting loopholes, could allow our energy and industry emissions to rise to 54% above 1990 by 2020. In Lima, Robb and Bishop pleaded for even more creative accounting, trying to get out of a 2012 Kyoto Protocol amendment limiting the amount of surplus permits allowed to be carried over from the first period. If I understand correctly, this issue has been effectively deferred to next June. If Australia succeeds, its allowed emissions in 2020 would increase by another 5% to a total of 59% above 2020.
Accordingly, Climate Action Tracker estimates that current policies put Australia's energy and industrial emissions on track to 49-57% above 1990 by 2020, equivalent to 12-18% above 2000 and 14-20% above 2012. All independent analyses show the Australian government's pathetic Emissions Reduction Fund will make barely a dent in this trend (not that we're likely to know, because the money will be allocated in secret). So if Abbott stays in power he can basically sit back and do nothing, then in 2020 boast that Australia has achieved its international obligations.
Australia's attempts to sabotage the climate talks are appalling, but it would be unwise to assume that other governments are doing much better. In September I pointed out that it is no use arguing Australia should get on the bandwagon with the rest of the world, because there was no adequate bandwagon to get on. That statement now requires a slight update. In the three months between New York and Lima, the level of international ambition has measurably improved for the first time since 2009, due to new post-2020 targets announced by China, US, and EU. But the magnitude of the improvement is small: a few tenths of a degree. And as I said in September, the urgent need to ramp up action before 2020 seems to have fallen off the radar completely (indeed it is another issue Australia has helped delete from the text).
Meanwhile, diplomats from other countries should be aware the Australian government has little support at home:
Grassroots opposition to the government is growing, as outlined in a recent speech by Greens Senator Scott Ludlam.
The government has hit a new low in voting intention polls.
A recent poll found that 57% of Australian adults say the government is doing "too little" on climate change.
Their state-level Liberal Party colleagues have been repudiated in the Victorian election, whereas the Greens achieved historic wins.
There are growing signs of infighting within the government itself, of which the intrigue surrounding Bishop is only the latest example.
Barnaby Joyce reportedly said last week: "we'll say a prayer to the dear Lord that the drought finishes". Unfortunately prayer won't stop droughts getting ever worse as the world warms – and it's also about the only thing that could save the Abbott government.

Tettnang Castle, also known as the Tettnang New Palace (German: Neues Schloss Tettnang), is one of three castles in the German town of Tettnang. The other ones are Tettnang Old Palace (opposite to the New Palace) and Torschloss close to Bärenplatz.

Tettnang Castle is owned by Staatliche Schlösser und Gärten Baden-Württemberg.

History
Originally, a fort stood on the site of the current castle. From 1260 until 1780, the site was the residence of the Counts of Montfort. The old fort was destroyed in 1633, during the Thirty Years' War. Count Anton III of Montfort subsequently started rebuilding the castle in 1712, hiring the architect Christoph Gessinger, a Benedictine friar from Isny, to draft designs for a new castle. His aim was to tear down the remains of the mediaeval fort to make way for a completely new palace. In 1728, construction work came to a grinding halt when the funds of the Count ran dry. Count Anton III died in 1733, and the castle remained unfinished.

A major section of the façade, along with parts of the interior decoration, were damaged by fire in 1753. Under the patronage of Count Franz Xaver, restoration work was subsequently completed in 1770. The fine sculptures and paintwork inside the castle were carried out by Joseph Anton Feuchtmayer, Käte Schaller-Härlin and Andreas Brugger. Jakob Emele was responsible for the rococo work.

When the county of Tettnang was sold to Austria around 1780 (to pay off debts), most of the interior fittings were sold and the castle passed into public ownership. When Tettnang was handed over to Bavaria as part of the Peace of Pressburg, the castle returned to German ownership.

Additional restoration of the castle was carried out between 1960 and 1982. In 1997, the castle was opened to the public for tours. Since 2015 the Museum is open 6 days a week, except Wednesday, each from Easter until October 31. The Museum can be visited during guided tours only, which are starting hourly. Taking photos during the tours is prohibited.

In 2014 the first Schlossgarten Open-Air was held in the garden next to the Castle, the next concerts are in June 2017.

REMOVE FUCKING SCRIPTERS AND SMURFS FROM THE GAME, IM THIS CLOSE TO LEAVING THIS GAME
Justinmw
I can't believe what's happening to this game. This used to be a fun game where you could play ranked against people that are equally good. But it's been so fucking long ago since I've last played a game that was balanced. Every single game is getting destroyed by fucking smurfs or even worse, by scripters. I queue for a game and my enemy team gets to last pick. The guy is a tinker spammer with 100000000% scripts using. Someone else reported his account in october already and guess what, the guy can still ruin game after game.
I know this report isn't gonna do anything since none of my reports ever gotten a reply. But honestly, I'm really tilted now. I can't believe there's nothing that gets done about these sad little smurfs and scripters. I'll be gone by the end of the year if this doesn't change. I'm really sick and tired of this bullshit.
https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/5170106216
There's no fucking way you can dodge every single spell, or item that's casted on you. There's no way that you can't be hurt for an entire game because you dodge every single thing the entire game. IP ban this little shit tinker.

Q: How can i disable apache multipart/form-data handling? i have the following php code
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="fil">
<input type="submit">
</form>
<?php

foreach(getallheaders() as $name){
if(preg_match("~multipart/form-data~",$name)){
     die("trying to upload something?");
}
}
?>

the problem is php handles the file after it is processed by apache.
what i want is to take control of the multipart/form-data before it even get processed with apache.

A: Set PHP's enable_post_data_reading directive to Off then use php://input to read the raw POST data.
Note that php://input is not available with enctype="multipart/form-data" unless enable_post_data_reading is Off (the docs don't mention the last bit).
