Fifty Shades of Grey seems like two separate movies incongruously spliced together. One movie is a romantic "chick flick" about an innocent and shy young college girl being seduced by an incredibly handsome billionaire only a few years older than her. Then there is the other movie, about a creepy rich guy who receives pleasure from giving pain to naked women he ties up in a room he calls his "play room."
The star of the movie is Dakota Johnson, who is the daughter of actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith. She does an excellent portrayal of Anastasia Steele, a shy English Lit major who interviews billionaire Christian Grey for her college newspaper. From the moment the two meet, there is an immediate attraction which viewers realize will soon lead to romance. Mr. Grey is played by Jamie Dornan, who when he is not acting apparently spends every waking moment working out at the gym. (OK we admit being jealous of this guy's looks).
Despite his looks and money, Mr. Grey has not been linked romantically with any women. There is even speculation he might be gay. He seems to be very socially awkward and shy when it comes to romance.
So far it seems like a lovely romance story. The successful but socially inept billionaire who is gradually being brought out of his shell by his beautiful new lover. The fact that he is so rich means that Christian can do things like take Anastasia to dinner in another city by flying her there in his own helicopter. What's not to like?
Well, it turns out there's a lot not to like abut Christian Grey. His main goal is to make Anastasia his "Submissive". He, of course, gets to be the "Dominant". He even presents her with a a written contract he wants her to sign agreeing to the terms. Now we will admit we don't get the whole bondage thing, and this contract only reenforces our opinion. It is hard to imagine that any woman in her right mind would sign such a contract. The "Submissive" has to agree to do anything the "Dominant" wants. The Submissive cannot talk to or initiate any physical contact with the Dominant. The Submissive agrees to be beaten, whipped, tied up, and have various instruments used on her. This contract goes on for many pages.
Anastasia, to her credit, does not sign the contract, but she is willing to experiment with some of the milder suggestions of Christian just to give it a try. However, she does these things out of love for Christian, not because the acts seem erotic to her.
This brings up the whole question of how we are supposed to think about Christian Grey. Is he a confused young man who has been searching desperately for true love? Or, is he a sexual sadist who is using his financial power to force a woman to do something against her will?
Certainly, there have been a lot of women's groups who have expressed their outright hatred for Mr. Grey. There is a lot of evidence that Mr. Grey is, in fact, a sexual predator and not a romantic. He has chosen to pursue Anastasia who is very shy, has no money, is younger than him, and is a virgin. He gives her elaborately expensive gifts including a computer and a new car. He has the habit of showing up wherever she is, even when she goes halfway across the country to be alone with her mother. Are these the acts of a romantic boyfriend or of a stalker?
All Mr. Grey wants in return for the gifts and attention is for Anastasia to completely submit herself to him in his "playroom" (or torture chamber depending upon your point of view).
Many woman have pointed out that Mr. Grey is the type of abuser who does not get much attention in the press. These men are the types of men who purposely choose emotionally weak women and then slowly put more and more pressure on them until the woman finally gives the man what he wants. They give in simply because they are too exhausted to keep saying "No".
Ironically, there is another group of moviegoers who did not like the film for a completely opposite reason. These are the people who do like bondage, and wanted to see a very graphic film with some real hard core S&M scenes. There is nothing like that in the movie.
Dakota Johnson is naked for a good portion of the film and she does look beautiful. However, any so-called "bondage" scenes are very mild stuff and will not satisfy the real S&M crowd.
Fans of Jamie Dornan will also be disappointed. He had it specifically written into his contract that his penis was not be be shown on film. You do get a few peaks at his rear, and of course his six-pack abs are shown, but that is all.
The movie is actually interesting, if for no other reason than to see what decisions Anastasia will make regarding Mr. Grey and his offers. However, we have to admit that we actually would have enjoyed it more if it had just been the "chick flick" about two "normal" lovers.
We give this movie 3 Stars ***

You Are Dumb, which is not a blog, posts new columns when it can manage to in these troubled Trumpian times. It is also a Twitter feed, @youaredumb, with content in a similar vein but much shorter. For a take on what a blog by me would be like, check out OLDNERD.
Convenient Delusions
Memo to John Stossel, Rand Paul, and Rich Lowry: YOUR DELUSIONS ARE TOO CONVENIENT.
Ah, sweet delusions. We all have them. We all work hard to maintain them. But it sure does seem that some people's delusions are more convenient, and more forceful, than others. Which, of course, leads to IDIOTS SAYING THE DAMNDEST THINGS!
"Take cigarette smoking. Yeah, they kill smokers. But there is no good data showing secondhand smoke kills people. Nevertheless, banned -- I don't smoke. I'm glad they banned it on airplanes and places. But can't smokers have some bars?" - John Stossel, World's Worst Libertarian.
Let's assume, for the moment, that John Stossel is telling the truth here. Not about the data regarding secondhand smoke, of course. That's lunacy. That's the kind of denial of basic science that usually gets people punched in the face by Buzz Aldrin. No, I mean he's not lying about how he doesn't smoke. And to be fair, John Stossel hates taxes so much he'd probably endure a lifetime of nicotine withdrawal just to deny the government tobacco revenue.
But if that's true, that means that John Stossel is espousing a libertarian viewpoint, and outing himself as the world's first Secondhand Smoke Truther, in support of something that will not benefit him directly, which puts him at odds with every other libertarian viewpoint I've ever seen. Well, you know, except for the purely theoretical ones that libertarians espouse to provide cover for the ones they really care about. But this is John Stossel. He'd have to master first-order thinking before delving into second-order thinking. Someone tell me he's fucking a three-pack-a-day smoker or I'm going to have to assume that he's gotten into his own Kool-Aid.
"So really elections are about who the leadership is in a party and it's about either accepting or rejecting those leaders. And, frankly, I think that yesterday was a repudiation of Hillary Clinton." - Rand Paul, before Jeb Bush created a whole new category of almost running for president, by the way.
The key delusion here is not that the 2014 election was a referendum on the viability of a Hillary Clinton presidency, although, as above, ha ha ha it is to laugh. No, the delusion is that Rand Paul, alleged professional politician, actually thought his spin had even a hint of angular momentum to it. If he'd been a little more transparent, the Department of Defense would have harvested his skin and glued it to stealth fighters.
And think about it. Until yesterday, when Jeb Bush decided he was putting just the tip into the 2016 presidential race, Rand Paul was like the most or maybe second most credible contender, depending on how you felt about Paul Ryan. And this is the level of game he's bringing? Democrats should live in perpetual embarassment over having to even worry about losing to these chumps.
"That study is based on a survey that includes attempted forced kissing as sexual assault... It's not a crime that the police are going to be involved in." - Rich Lowry, on CNN, duding up the place.
This conversation was in the context of the now questionable Rolling Stone story about a gang rape at the University of Virginia. Rich Lowry was bemoaning the fact that places like Rolling Stone rush to believe rape victims rather than being skeptical. And then Rich Lowry proved why we have to do that.
Forced kissing, along with George Will's now infamous "unwanted touching", are indeed forms of sexual assault. And as I've said before, the only reason people like Rich Lowry want society to not consider forced kissing a crime are that people likke Rich Lowry have done a bit of forced kissing in their past and know, in their heart of hearts, that they're fine, upstanding citizens. A convenient delusion, indeed.

A great collection of Boston engagement photos by Cordele Photography of Reading Massachusetts!
Some of the images you see in my gallery were taken in the North End and along the waterfront of Boston. The Seaport District makes such a great engagement photo backdrop as does the Joseph Moakley Courthouse. At the courthouse if you are lucky you can get the most killer sunset photos of the two of you together. If I miss the sunset due to clouds its set for some great night shots with off camera lighting. My favorite spot is in Minuteman National Park in Lexington. I head up there to the Old North Bridge (which is technically in Concord Massachusetts). I love that little boat house. The location from up on the bridge is one of my favorites.
Along with engagement photos I also shoot surprise proposals/engagements. I did one up on the beach at Wingaersheek in Gloucester and it went so well! Setting something like a surprise proposal photoshoot is hard, but so worth it in the end! I am happy to help anyone set it up!
When people ask where in Massachusetts to go, I normally have a long list of place I recommend. I always ask them if they are beach, city or suburb people. I can sometimes shoot Boston engagement sessions in a bar. If people want engagement photos in the forest, I typically go up to Maudsley State Park,
I have traveled to Cape Cod to shoot some amazing beach engagement sessions. Strolling along Mayflower Beach for photos, or going out to the lighthouse in Provincetown are some our favorite places.
When looking for an engagement photography location in New England I typically defer to the secret list I keep on my phone. As soon as you are engaged there are a flurry of things to do before you have a wedding. The first thing is to pick a date, and then the next is to find your vendors. One of those is an amazing Boston wedding photographer! I have packages that really help give you what you want. Engagement photos in my opinion are really a must for any Boston girl! Its a great way to get to know your photographer, and a great way to get photos you can use at your wedding. Details are a must at weddings and engagement photos have SO many uses! I can help you pick the perfect spot to get engaged at and I can also shoot a surprise Boston proposal. That's when the guy contacts me and I set up a date and time to have you propose to your girl! I hide in the bushes, or pretend to be shooting another sessions and then you go over to spot that you picked out and I sneak over and photographer it. It's a TRUE engagement session in any sense of the word!
I have done a few Boston Engagement proposals and I love shooting them! They are so much fun! Its like being a part of a moment only meant for 2 people and you get to document it. Then you get to help share that moment with friends and family who wanted to be at the engagement, but know it would give it away!

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Colts have gone from feeling good that quarterback Andrew Luck would be ready for the start of the regular season to now not being able to say for sure he'll play Sept. 8 at the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1.
"We're 3½ weeks away from the regular season, I'm not ready to say," Colts general manager Chris Ballard said Tuesday night regarding whether Luck will play against the Chargers.
Tests done on Luck on Monday night revealed the quarterback has gone from dealing with a calf strain, which he originally was diagnosed with in March, to currently having pain in the "high anklish" area of his left leg.
"From the start we've been dealing with a calf injury," Ballard said. "In March through camp, dealing with a calf and then little area below his calf, which Andrew kind of referred to as a lower leg where he was dealing with some pain, almost in the ankle area. The injury wasn't getting better and hadn't been practicing, so in the course of dealing with the calf injury, it appears that now we have an ankle issue."
Ballard did say that at this point Luck would not play in the preseason. The team's preference is for Luck to strictly focus on rehabbing. There hasn't been any talk of possible surgery for Luck. He has practiced only three days on a limited basis in training camp because of the pain in his ankle area. Luck also missed all of the team's OTA and minicamp practices in the spring.
"There's enough pain where he's not practicing," Ballard said. "That's what we have to get under control. Once we get that under control, I think we can really move forward. There's no question he had a calf [injury]. But the lower part is more of an ankle issue. We get that under control, we can help with the pain."
Ballard said he believes Luck can play at less than 100 percent if necessary this season.
"If he can function, yes," Ballard said. "If his pain is under control and he can protect himself and play good, yes."
The Colts announced July 30 that Luck was going to stop practicing until he felt his calf was 100 percent healthy. Luck said the following day that his Achilles tendon was not at extra risk of injury.
"The issue right now is the side-to-side stuff," Ballard said. "Kind of rolling of the ankle. Anything back-and-forth, he's good. Standing there throwing, he's good. Moving in the pocket, those are the kind of things we have to get him better at."
Ballard said he believes Luck's ankle problem is an accumulation of years of wear on it.
"We think we found it," Ballard said. "Is there 100 percent guarantee? No, but we think we have [found it]. We'll rehab it the way we think we need to rehab it."
Luck and the Colts know he needs some practice time to be ready for the regular season. Ballard said there would be a point when they would have to make a decision on Luck's status against the Chargers.
Backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who started 15 games in 2017 for the injured Luck, has been working with the first team in Luck's absence.
Injuries have derailed what was a promising start to Luck's NFL career. He led the Colts to the playoffs in each of his first three seasons, including the AFC Championship Game in 2014, before a shoulder injury in Week 3 of the 2015 season was the start of numerous setbacks for Luck. Since that season, he has missed 26 games, including the entire 2017 season because of shoulder, kidney and rib problems. The Colts went 4-12 in 2017 when Luck was out.
Luck passed for 4,593 yards and 39 touchdowns last season and was named the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year.
"This is not 2017," Ballard said. "When I first came in the door, one of things we talked about was building a team and it wasn't about one guy. Look, I understand the importance of Andrew Luck. He's one of the top five quarterbacks in the league. But we also have another quarterback that we like in Jacoby Brissett. To me, that's part of building a team. You have to be able to handle when things don't go the way you plan them out to be."

About Industrial Zone
Overview: Industrial Zone, while not the most popular map out there, is still fairly attractive to players in the mid- to lower-ranks. Not only does this map have a wide range of tactics employable due to the many terrain variants, but there are also many parkour opportunities. The top of the hangars around the lookout towers are the first to come to mind.
Battle Modes: DM, TDM, CTF, CP
Size: 20 players, 10 vs 10
Almost every weapon has an opportunity to shine in a diverse map such as Industrial Zone. Starting with the close ranged weapons, there are many pockets of tight and confined spaces near the corners of the map for them to hide, taking every opportunity to pounce on any sorry soul who dares enter that territory. Note that camera angle adjustment is difficult in these areas, especially near the large series of hangars by the red flag's zone.
Mid-field weapons, such as Striker, Smoky, Hammer, Thunder, and Ricochet all tend to excel within the confines of buildings and passageways. While Smoky has the impact force and critical hit to its benefit, Thunder can use splash damage to take out tankers from behind blind corners, giving them significant advantages over other tankers. Ricochet can pull this strategy off with even more finesse, considering that combat from unusual angles is what this turret was designed to excel at. Hammer can effectively be used to brace it's impact on enemy tanks, using its pellets to knock off enemies' aim. Striker works well in this map locking down enemies on far sides of the map or destroying them in mid-range combat.
Lastly, the rest of the map goes to long ranged fighters. Shafts, Magnums, Railguns and Vulcans alike simply love the firing ranges near the center of the map and the sides. The lookout towers on the tow red corners are especially lucrative to these players. A few crafty tankers can even set themselves to control the bridge overseeing the rest of the facility, picking off players that dare to hide within the walls as well as outside. A heavier hull is recommended in this situation, though, since you're leaving yourself open to attack as well.
Light hulls are useful for swift flag captures, as per usual with maps with moderate size. It's worth noting that since Industrial Zone has so many diverse sections that mid-fielding can be rather important too, since in CTFs, players will be forced to stray outside their comfort zones; a few mid-field weapons in tandem with a Viking or Hunter would suit this position well.
One thing to note is that whilst the map is quite large, in comparison to others, there aren't as many players to co-exist with you here, with Industrial Zone only having a 20 player capacity. This can be taken advantage of, since teams have more difficulty setting up a proper offense with many members at their base, making for a quicker swipe of the flag. However, having a low total team member count doesn't mean you can't use closer ranged turrets to take advantage of the cramped quarters (i.e. the underground tunnel, or inside the buildings), such as Firebird, Hammer and Freeze to be a true offensive presence.
The aforementioned vantage points from the towers pair well with Railgun, Magnum and Vulcan, dependent on which one you claim. For Railgun, the tower further from the flag that harbors a Double Supply drop is the best route to take, since you can slowly but surely peck off any unwanted visitors from behind the cover of a large concrete block. Meanwhile, the lookout tower right next to the flag is a great place for a Vulcan to hold position at, having both a constant rate of fire pointed at opposition that may attempt to take the flag and an extra life nearby in case your constant hull exposure lets the situation grow sour fast. Magnum gives you the possibility of hitting the opponents' base without having the need to move away from cover.
There are five control points in this one map; taking the size of the map into account, it's not a huge leap to assume a couple of points will be neglected. You can use a lighter hull to quickly capture the neglected control points, which can make a difference in the long run, or alternatively, you can use a medium/heavy hull to seize control of the more popular control points.
It's worth noting, though, that the heavier of a hull you decide to use, the less likely you are to be moving from point to point with any swiftness. If you're intent on camping at a specific, well sheltered point, then something like Ricochet, Hammer or Thunder would suit you well, considering they can take maximum advantage of the surrounding environment. Twins is also a niche option for suppressing fire near contained or precarious driving locations, a great choice for bowling roving Wasps off of cliffs like there's no tomorrow.
Recommended Equipment
For "Close to Mid" range Combat
Firebird, Freeze, Hammer, Smoky, Twins, Striker or Ricochet.
Wasp, Hornet, Hunter or Viking.
For "Mid to Long" range Combat

What is it and why should I care?
Encryption (specifically talking symmetric encryption here) is a critical component of many applications, and the storage of the encryption key can be tricky to get right. Encryption falls under that area of secure programming that you don't come into contact with casually, hence you might not be practiced in secure key storage. You might run across SQLi since it's common to use a database, or XSS because you're programming for the web, but you usually run into encryption explicitly. There are a couple of extremely common usages of encryption in normal programming: encrypting application data (credit card, SSN, etc.) or encrypting system account credentials (user/pw pair for connecting to a DB or web service call). Both of these cases require the keys to be accessible to the application at runtime in order to function properly, so we have to figure out how to solve that problem correctly.
In addition to being less common or prolific than other security issues (SQLi, XSS), there is generally less information available about how to accomplish the task properly. To be fair, that's not necessarily because of its less common nature, but more because there is no one right answer for how you should protect your encryption key – there are various options and your specific circumstances will at least partially dictate the solution. It's more nuanced than "use prepared statements and no dynamic sql!". While there's no single right answer, there are some common good and bad approaches which I'll attempt to address.
What should I do about it?
Before looking at solutions, I want to briefly address 2 base assumptions I've made which are worth considering before digging in deeper:
1. Store as little sensitive data as needed
You should only store the sensitive data that you must. If you can throw it away, then by all means throw it away. There are lots of factors that go into this decision, but from a security perspective, you can't lose data you don't have.
2. Use well-vetted implementations of strong encryption algorithms in the proper configuration
There are 3 subpoints here:
– Strong encryption algorithms: Check NIST for the most up-to-date list of acceptable encryption algorithms. A simple example is that you should no longer be using DES for encryption, but AES is currently ok (as of late 2012)
– Proper configuration: Again, check NIST. You should be using the appropriate mode and padding for your encryption algorithm in order for it to be more resistant to cryptanalysis. A simple example here is that you should not be using ECB as a mode – it is not safe.
– Well-vetted implementations: You should be using algorithms and configurations that are approved, but the implementation should be well-known and reasonably vetted. The level of rigor for the vetting will differ depending upon your environment, but in general, java programmers are usually safe with either the built-in implementations from Oracle, or using BouncyCastle, a popular crypto library.
Now that we've considered our assumptions, let's look at a few things you should not do when considering how to store your encryption key:
– Don't store your key with the data it is protecting.
You shouldn't store your key together with your data, because if the attacker gets one, they likely have the other. That means the attacker has nothing but time to get your data. Two common ways this shows itself is either with the key stored in the database with the data, or the key stored in a flat file with the username and password it's protecting. This is a bad practice.
– Don't store your key on the same host as the data it is protecting.
This is very similar to the previous point, but also takes into account the key in one file and the username/password in another file. If they're both on the same server, it's more likely the attacker will be able to get to both. Also, if the DB is local to the appserver as is the key file, then the likelihood increases that both could be grabbed at the sametime for an offline attack.
– Don't rely on security by obscurity.
Encryption key storage is an area where I see obscurity used more often than in other places in applications. People try to do clever things like break the key up across several files or obfuscate the key in some way, and then reverse it out in the application. I'm not saying these tactics couldn't increase the security marginally – they might depending on the attack vector. However, they also usually complicate processes like key rotation and data re-keying. My vote is to stick to simpler solid practices. If you do go this route, make sure you have a complete solution that takes into account your full key lifecycle.
We've looked at a few bad techniques, now let's consider some good practices.
– Separate key and protected data
I've already covered this above with the bad practices, but making sure the encryption key and the data it is protecting are separate is certainly a good practice. Make sure it's separate across tiers as well.
– Lock down your permissions
Make sure that your account credentials are locked down appropriately, including DB, filesystem, web service calls, etc. Ensure that you are using strong authentication and access control as well as least privilege. For instance, there's usually no reason for the encryption key to be writable by an application – read-only makes sense in this case.
– Consider various storage options.
There are a multitude of ways you could store your encryption key depending on your needs. A few might be a keystore (java keystore), an HSM (hardware security module), flat file, DB, etc. You may also allow for the key to be manually entered by operations personnel at application startup time. This puts key storage out of band generally, but does mean that there are additional runtime requirements you must live with, but that may be the right option for you. Again, I want to point out that not all of these will work for everyone, but it's good to know they are available so you can see which solution will work in your environment.
– Plan for key rotation and re-keying data
Whether it's driven by internal or external requirements, a data breach, or just good practice, you should be doing key rotation and data re-keying. A key should have a general lifecycle that takes it from generation to destruction. By following this process, you shorten the window for which the key is useful, and you have a recourse if you are breached. The hope during a breach is that either the data or the key is captured but not both. When planning for this step, be sure to consider issues like disaster recovery and backed up data that may need to be retrieved. Those processes should play into the key lifecycle as well.
– Know your policies, standards and regulations
Depending on your industry or even just your organization, you will have both internal and external requirements that you must account for. For instance, if you process and store credit cards, you have to live with PCI/DSS. There are certain requirements that these standards levy upon you, and those may impact your key management process. Be aware of what they are and make sure you are abiding by those when you build out your plan.
In conclusion, encryption key storage is not a simple, clear-cut security issue. It is nuanced, and the appropriate solution depends on your policy and regulatory environment. However, there are some well known good and bad practices you should consider before coming up with a solution. With attention to these details, you can come up with a solution that fits your needs and provides solid security as well.

Halloween Packaging Ideas: Coffin Box Invitation
My nine-year old grandson wants to have a Halloween camp-out at my house. We care going to park a camper in the yard surrounded by a scary graveyard scene. He's very excited about the event. Food, games, and a campfire are all part of the spooky night.
These are the invitations I created for my grandson's special party. The coffin boxes are being filled with gummy body parts. The party invite is secured inside the top of the coffin. Decorate as you like, as there are so many options. I am using gauze strips to wrap the coffin. Consider dipping gauze strips in red colorant for a bloody effect or wrap natural twine around each box.
1) On arrival, each guest receives a survival flashlight. The bathroom is past the eerie cemetery.
2) Xplodez Guns. They shoot non-staining red pellets.
3) Bob for apples in a bucket of slime
4) Make a friend into a toilet paper mummy.
5) Air guns that shoot 1-inch glow in the dark plastic balls, along with brain splat balls.
6) Make bloody brain hats.
I'm still working on the food stuff. For sure, we will be drinking posion water and spider cider. Vampire bat wings are also on the menu.
Melt & Pour Soap: Ghoulie Ghost Popsicles
It's that time of year! Upcoming Halloween signals ghoulish, scary and bewitching soaping ideas. Here is another sampling of the fun things you can do with GoPlanet's Pop Mold. Start by pouring a 3/3" layer of white soap into a flexible jelly roll pan. Let the soap set up, then remove from mold and cut-out ghostly shapes. Our recessed smoothing molding tool is perfect for trimming the ghost shapes.
We used suspension soap base and added cosmetic grade glitter. Our color palette was a light purple, light orange and light green. You want the colors to have enough transparency to showcase the ghost cut-out. We used GoPlanet's liquid gel colors.
Step One: Melt the soap, divide into three containers and add the trio of colors (light orange, light green, and light purple). Fill each mold cavity 1/3 full, allow to set up until a thin skin forms. Insert the ghost shape. Here is what I recommend. Take a popsicle stick and the bottom portion into clear melted soap base. Place the ghost shape onto the stick (the melted soap will act as a glue adhesive). Once the ghost is secured to the stick, center the stick into the pop mold cavity. The use of our soap clips will help keep the stick centered.
Step Two: Once the wooden pop stick is securely centered with the clips, pour a second layer of colored soap. Allow the second layer to set up slightly and then pour the final layer. You want to soap to set up enough that the second and third layers do not puncture the previous soap layer.
I failed to mention to Gabby (my worker pouring these soaps) the importance of centering the pop sticks with clips. As you can see in the above picture, the sticks were not centered. It was one of those do and learn moments.
As you see, the finished product was success, even if the sticks weren't centered. My only advise on this project is to make sure you use "rubbing alcohol" between each pour (liberally spritz each layer before pouring the next soap layer). A couple of Gabby's pop soaps lost the top layers when they were released.
TIP: Once the soap are hardened in the mold, place the entire mold in medium hot water bath (you can do this in your kitchen sink). This will help with the release process. These little guys aren't the easiest to release, but once you figure out the process, it's a breeze.
Happy Haunting!

Melt & Pour Soaps: Halloween Soap Ideas
Halloween is approaching. Kristy and Chelsea were busy preparing holiday soaps while I was visiting Paris. A big shout of thanks to my former assistant, Kristy, who filled in while I was away. She knows the business well and her presence in the work place gave me peace of mind.
The above soaps were made with Mold Market's square loaf mold. A crinkle cutter was used to slice the finished soap and a few slices were cut into candy corn shapes.
Neon yellow (in white soap base), neon orange (in clear soap base) and white base were the colors used for layering. All of these soap colors can be found here.
These pumpkin soaps are easy to make with our economy pumpkin or silicone Jack-o-lantern molds. Use the soap injector tool to fill in the black areas and green stem. Colorants used: neon orange liquid gel, black oxide, and neon green (for stem area). Our favorite fragrances include apple autumn, harvest moon, green apple, spiced pumpkin egg nog, roll in the hay and turning leaves. These are all great fall scents.
Mold Market's cupcake mold and layer thin strips of white soap over the cupcake top (you may want to slice off the cherry from the cupcake topper). Punch out eyes with a circular shape. Secure all the pieces with clear melted soap.
Thanks to Chelsea for this soaping idea! She did a great job. Her only tip is to be sure you use THIN strips of white soap. Her first attempt failed because the white strips were too thick.
Checkout these other soaping ideas for inspiration. We would love for you to share your favorite Halloween soaps.

Melt & Pour Soap Making: Granola Fruit Cup
Gabby does it again! This is her original granola fruit cup design. Below is the hand-sketch she drafted. As one of GoPlanet's newest workers, she has fallen in love with soap making and is continually brainstorming new soaping ideas.
Everything was sealed together with a quick over-pour of scented clear soap.
Gabby reported chopping the granola portion of the soap was the most time consuming. I suggested a vegetable grater would be much easier than using a knife. Her response was, "OMG, never thought about that!"
Gabby attends a local community college while working for GoPlanet part-time. She has proven to be a great asset to our team.
Besides working on various soaping projects, Gabby packs, pulls, and checks outgoing orders. She is being trained in all aspects of order processing to better serve you.
It would be nice if you take a moment to give Gabby feed-back on the soaping projects she shares on my blog.
Here are the molds and supplies Gabby used for this granola fruit cup:
- Gelato Cups
- Soap Colors (email Gabby if you need help with color selection)
- Clear and white soap base
- Soap fragrance
- Novelty/Economy molds: Deep Raspberry (was used as a blackberry), strawberry mold, apple and orange wedge

Daniel Sperling was expecting a very special guest at his wedding last September. Just days before the big event, though, the star attendee hit a certain snag.
Minneapolis resident Sperling and his fiancée, Kristina Geiger, were getting married at Como Zoo in St. Paul, right next to the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory. As part of the event rental, they requested the presence of Stefano, an adorable two-toed sloth.
There was just one problem: "Sloths only poop once a week," Sperling explained. "On the day or two before, it's extremely irritable and you're not supposed to go near it." If Stefano couldn't go No. 2, zoo staff explained, he wouldn't be a pleasant plus-one.
Thankfully, Stefano did his business just in time.
"We're glad it worked out for him," Sperling said, laughing.
Stefano is just one of many "animal ambassadors" available for on-site events at Como Zoo. Armadillos, parrots, snakes, turtles and a giant cockroach also partake in the program, designed to educate eventgoers while sweetening the deal for private rentals. Booking an animal ambassador costs an extra $250 per hour.
"We have a lot of great wedding stories," said education and conservation curator Susie Van Blaircom. "It's something fun for the guests. It's something new and unique, something they're not necessarily used to seeing." With his cute little tuxedo, Cupid the South African penguin is a popular option for nuptials.
Wedding guests can stop by to meet these ambassadors, Van Blaircom said, with an education specialist standing by to answer any questions.
The creatures "just kind of hang out," she said. "They don't walk around; they are definitely in a restricted area."
Stefano the sloth, for example, came to the Sperling reception with a rope (to keep visitors at a safe distance) and a portable tree. "It didn't do much," Sperling said. "It just kind of sat there and sometimes moved its arm.
"But that's all it has to do because it's so adorable," he continued. "People liked taking their pictures with it."
More than a wedding guest
After her engagement, Danica Alvarez knew she wanted to get married at the zoo. "I spent a lot of time there growing up," she said. "And my fiancé and I actually got engaged there," right next to that romantic glass conservatory.
The Northfield resident surprised everyone — even herself — by requesting a fruit bat for the occasion.
"The fruit bats were not something we thought of right away, obviously," Alvarez said. "It's kind of a different animal; a lot people think they're gross. We wanted something really, really unique." Even though confined to a glass cage, the creature seemed to enjoy himself, she said. "Fruit bats are pretty social. They like attending events."
Wedding guests were invited to grab a drink and check in on the animal to learn more. "They're a lot bigger than I expected," Alvarez said. "They're probably around 6 inches tall."
The same thing happened with Stefano at the Sperling wedding. Aside from hearing about the sloth's infrequent bowel movements, guests learned why the mammal's fur has a green tint (because there's algae in there).
Animal ambassadors aren't restricted to weddings. "If 3M were to book an event," Van Blaircom said, "they might book an animal ambassador."
St. Mary's Health Clinics recently hosted a volunteer appreciation event at the zoo, inviting the ever popular Cupid as a VIP guest.
Needless to say, volunteers did not expect to find themselves hobnobbing with a penguin. "They were genuinely surprised," said volunteer Chris Hanson, who delighted in watching the bird eat.
A zoo employee taught the group about Cupid's impressive swimming skills and his surprisingly long life expectancy. (Cupid is 27 years old.) Everyone got a kick out of watching him pooh-pooh substandard servings of fish.
"It was pretty educational for all of us," Hanson said.

As a part of our catch up of the conference action, it's now time to recap from this past weekend where we finally had ideal spring conditions for each of our competition locations. The weather more than likely influenced how much the conference listings changed – from a quick count, there are easily over 100 changes to the top 10 listings across all of the events listed on TFRRS.
This week, we have a different format of these recaps. If you wish for more detail, we provided links to each of the recaps provided by schools' athletic websites.
Harvard/Yale (Harvard Athletics Recap; Yale Athletics Recap – men and women)
Harvard and Yale held their annual rivalry dual meet this past Saturday in New Haven, CT, where the Crimson women won for the ninth straight year while the Bulldog men broke the Crimson's five year winning streak. Harvard's Nikki Okwelogu (shot put, discus) and Paige Kouba (1500m, 800m) both won two individual events, on top of Harvard getting point scoring sweeps in 4 events, to help their team to the win in the women's competition, 95 to 58. In the men's competition, Paedyn Gomes (110m hurdles, 400m hurdles) and Marc-Andre Alexandre (200m, 400m) both claimed two individual events and part of the winning 4×100 relay to help the Bulldogs edge out the Crimson by 3 points, 83 to 80.
Princeton Outdoor Invite (Princeton Athletics: Day 1 Recap – men and women; Day 2 Recap – men and women)
Princeton hosted their second home meet of the season from Thursday to Saturday, which included full heptathlon and decathlon competitions. The Tigers won both scoring competitions by over 100 point margins. Indoor Heps Track MVP Carrington Akosa won both the 100m and 200m events with wind-legal new personal bests that either tops the conference (10.67) or sits as the fastest wind-legal performance (21.36). Adam Kelly continues to improve in the hammer throw, adding almost a foot to his personal best to win the event with 218-05 which ranks him #6 in Ivy League history. Allison Harris also continues to improve in the pole vault, as she cleared 13-05 ¼ to win the event and sit as the #3 performer in Ivy League history. Cornell and Dartmouth had some of their men participate in the decathlon, where Austin Jamerson won with 6,987 points and Nico Robinson was second with 6,866 points.
Mt Sac Relays (Yale Athletics Recap)
There was a small Ivy contingent out at the Mt Sac Relays – so small in fact that not all of the schools have a recap of their performances.
Kevin Dooney of Yale was the lone Ivy undergraduate representative on the track. He ran the elite 10km, where he finished 28th overall in 29:39.36.
In the field events, Princeton sent their two pole vaulters, Adam Bragg and August Kiles. Bragg tied his seasonal best height of 18-00 1/2 to finish third in the elite pole vault field and top collegian. Kiles was in the open pole vault event where he cleared 17-00 3/4, which was good enough for fifth overall.
Bison Outdoor Classic (Cornell Athletics Recap – men and women)
Cornell headed to Lewisburg, PA for the Bison Outdoor Classic at Bucknell University. The Big Red won a total of 10 events and had five performances that top the conference. Rudy Winkler set a new personal best in the hammer throw of 237-05 to win his season debut. The distance is a new best by 7 feet and moves him into the #2 hammer thrower in Ivy League history. James Gowans (1500m), David Taylor (10km), and Wynndham Curtis (400m hurdles) set new conference leading marks as they either won or finished as the runner up in their respective events, while Udeme Akpaete was involved in three events wins – the 400m, 4×100, and 4×400 relays. Her 400m time tops the conference.
Ocean State Invitational (Brown Athletics Recap; Columbia Athletics Recap)
Brown co-hosted the Ocean State Invitational with Providence College on Saturday, where Columbia made the trek up from the Bronx to participate. The highlight for the Brown Bears was their 1-2 finish in the men's 800m, where Ned Willig and Zach Emrich both ran new personal bests and the #2 and #3 fastest times in the conference so far this season. For the Columbia Lions, Iris Chijioke grabbed an individual win in the 100m hurdles with the 5th fastest time of the season and ran the opening leg on the victorious 4×100 relay with Jaycee Parker, Akua Obeng-Akrofi, and Ashley Cunningham.
Dartmouth Outdoor Classic (Dartmouth Athletics Recap – men and women)
Dartmouth hosted their first home meet in three years on Saturday with the Dartmouth Outdoor Classic. The Big Green easily won both team competitions. Lucas Ribeiro was the lone double winner for the men as he won the discus and shot put. The Big Green women won all of the sprinting events shorter than and including the 800m – including both hurdles and relays – which propelled them to their team win.
Chester Quarry Classic (Penn Athletics Recap – men and women)
Penn traveled to nearby Chester, PA for the Chester Quarry Classic where the teams won a total of 11 events. Chris Hatler's 1500m win highlighted the men's meet as the time ranks him 2nd in the conference listings. For the women, Kylene Cochrane led a 1-2-3-4 sweep in the women's 5km race, with Cochrane's winning time being a new personal best and ranking her 8th in the conference.

Clark Scholars Showcase Summer Research Projects on Campus
Kimberly Fiock, a neuroscience freshman, hopes her summer research project will one day lead to better therapeutic techniques for people with chronic pain.
A group of 17 UT Dallas undergraduates — most of them incoming freshmen — spent the summer getting a jump on research projects and campus life by participating in the 2014 Anson L. Clark Summer Research Program.
The students delved into a wide variety of topics with faculty mentors in the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, and the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science.
Kimberly Fiock, a neuroscience freshman, worked in Dr. Theodore Price's laboratory in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, to gain insights into chronic pain. One of the ultimate goals of the work is to develop better therapeutic techniques for people who experience chronic pain.
"This research might tell us how people with chronic pain react to situations where they are physically uncomfortable," Fiock said at a recent event where the Clark Scholars presented posters detailing their projects. "It was a fun project to work on."
Ethan Honeycutt, a computer science sophomore, returned for his second summer as a Clark Research Scholar. His project focused on streamlining a system for voice mail and email retrieval.
Maireigh Nicholas, a first-year student in neuroscience, worked with Dr. Sven Kroener, an assistant professor in BBS. She studied alcohol addiction by examining the brain's prefrontal cortex and its relation to attention and inhibition.
"It was great that I got into this lab; this is just what I wanted to do," Nicholas said. "Ultimately, I would love to be a medical researcher."
The Clark Summer Research Program is coordinated by Courtney Brecheen, assistant dean in the Office of Undergraduate Education, program coordinator Hillary Campbell and faculty advisor Dr. Paul Pantano, associate professor of chemistry. The program administrators ensure that the students get more out of the experience than just an immersion in research.
"This program is more holistic than many people realize," Brecheen said. "The students don't just spend 40 hours a week in the lab. They hang out socially. Seeing the way this particular group of students came together, I think the experience helped many of them prepare for the college environment by providing a foundation of a social network as they begin their first semester at UT Dallas."

Brecheen also said that the students learned professional skills, such as how to interact with faculty members and graduate students in the workplace, the importance of dressing professionally for the poster presentation, and how to communicate the importance of their research clearly in a 30-second "elevator speech."
Computer engineering major Kiley Holbert worked with Dr. Ravi Prakash in the Department of Computer Science on a project called Backpack Planner. Her elevator speech was crystal clear:
"This is an academic advisory system that recommends classes for students, their whole four-year plan, based on university requirements and degree requirements," Holbert said. "It takes into account historical student data to give you the most efficient way to get in the classes you need."
The computerized system would be used in conjunction with academic advisors. "People still like face-to-face contact," she said.
The Clark Summer Research Program is open primarily to incoming freshmen who are awarded an Academic Excellence Scholarship. It is funded by an endowment from the Clark Foundation in recognition of the interests of Dr. Anson L. Clark.
The foundation's philanthropic activities have supported scholarly endeavors at a number of Texas colleges and universities, including the Anson L. Clark Memorial Lecture, the Clark Summer Research Program and the Clark Presidential Scholarship, all at UT Dallas.

The Impossible Exile: Stefan Zweig at the End of the World
By George Prochnik
Other Press 390pp £19.99 order from our bookshop
Stefan Zweig died in Brazil on 22 February 1942 in a suicide pact with his second wife, Lotte. In biographical accounts of Zweig we generally meet a worldly man blessed with inherited wealth, a stellar cast of friends, talent and the immense popularity of his books. Like so many others in his generation of German-speaking writers, he was deracinated by the mid-20th century's mounting catastrophes.
Born in 1881, Zweig spent his life travelling: to France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Holland, Algeria, India and Indochina, North and South America, Switzerland, Eastern Europe and Russia, Scotland and England. His contemporaries called him the Flying Salzburger. In a chapter in The Impossible Exile entitled 'Traveling Womb', George Prochnik investigates Zweig's relentless roaming more closely and associates it with his childhood insecurities – above all his mother's oddities and restlessness. Prochnik catches him en route and observes him in places where he settled for longer or shorter periods.

The interests of a nation...(Quotation)
When called upon to draft a message for George Washington's fourth annual message to Congress, Thomas Jefferson produced the following paragraphs:
The interests of a nation, when well understood, will be found to coincide with their moral duties. Among these it is an important one to cultivate habits of peace and friendship with our neighbors. To do this we should make provision for rendering the justice we must sometimes require from them. I recommend therefore to your consideration Whether the laws of the Union should not be extended to restrain our citizens from committing acts of violence within the territories of other nations, which would be punished were they committed within our own.—And in general the maintenance of a friendly intercourse with foreign nations will be presented to your attention by the expiration of the law for that purpose, which takes place, if not renewed, at the close of the present session.
In execution of the authority given by the legislature, measures have been taken for engaging some artists from abroad to aid in the establishment of our mint; others have been employed at home; provision has been made of the requisite buildings, and these are now putting into proper condition for the purposes of the establishment. There has been also a small beginning in the coinage of the half dismes and Cents, the want of small coins in circulation calling our first attentions to them. - Thomas Jefferson, draft written for George Washington's fourth annual message to Congress, October 15, 17921
Jefferson later re-wrote the first paragraph of the message, prefacing his revision, "Instead of the paragraph 'The interests of a nation &c. – within our own,' formerly proposed, the following substitute is thought better."
All observations are unnecessary on the value of peace with other nations. It would be wise however, by timely provisions, to guard against those acts of our citizens, which might tend to disturb it, and to put ourselves in a condition to give that satisfaction to foreign nations, which we may sometimes have occasion to require from them. I particularly recommend to your consideration the means of preventing those aggressions by our citizens on the territory of other nations, and other infractions of the law of Nations, which furnishing just subject of complaint, might endanger our peace with them.—And in general the maintenance &c.2
Washington delivered the address with Jefferson's revised first paragraph and original second paragraph. Jefferson later expressed a similar sentiment in his own Second Inaugural Address:
We are firmly convinced, and we act on that conviction, that with nations, as with individuals, our interests soundly calculated, will ever be found inseparable from our moral duties; and history bears witness to the fact, that a just nation is taken on its word, when recourse is had to armaments and wars to bridle others.3

Zimerman plays Chopin's Ballade No. 1 in G minor 🔗
I'm a huge fan of Krystian Zimerman, and I think he's the best pianist in the world. I spent my high school and college years listening to this recording of Chopin's Ballade No. 1 in G minor and somehow never came across this video. If you enjoy this video, consider picking up the CD issued by Deutsche Grammophon. This breathtaking performance deserves that full 16 bit/44.1 kHz resolution. Excuse me while I go watch this ten more times before bed.

Our contest is now closed! The votes have been tallied and we are pleased to announce we have our winners in our charitable arts giveaway.
In May we asked you to nominate your favourite charitable arts group to receive a $500 donation. We've narrowed the field down to five finalists from your nominations, and now it is up to you to decide who will receive the funds.
Voting is simple. Between now and Sunday, June 22, 2014 at 5pm PDT vote for the arts organization that you think is deserving of the $500* donation. One entry is permitted per person per day for the duration of the voting. The arts organization with the highest number of votes by the end of the voting period will receive the donation. Good luck to all these great organizations and thank you to everyone that nominated a group!
Read each of the descriptions outlining how each of the nominated arts organizations will use the funds, and then complete the form below to register your vote. Be sure to check out how you can get bonus entries for your favourite charity as well!
1. New Orchestra Workshop Society
The Funds from this prize will go towards program cost for the NOW Society fall show, Rippled Modality, that will form an aesthetic investigation of the senses, and of layers and juxtaposition. Perception, sight, sound, and taste sensations that expand and combine to enhance one another will be explored in this multidisciplinary concert featuring musicians, imagery and the use of electronics and … chocolate!. The Rippled Modality project will consist of workshops, culminating in a final public concert.
The money would support Pacific Theatre's apprentice productions. Every year we bring on 2-3 emerging artists as company apprentices, and at the end of the season on board they produce their own showcase. It's a fantastic opportunity for young, emerging artists to create work with access to all the resources of a professional theatre company. This will help offset the costs of their production and allow them to take more risks in their work.
3. TomoeArts
We are creating a dance-theatre piece this summer called "Fragments of a Weaver Woman" – performance at the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Garden on July 17 as one of its Enchanted Evening Series. The piece combines music composed for chinese and western instruments, movement based on Japanese classical dance, and spoken text from the Korean short story "Weaver Woman" by O Chonghui. We would use funds specifically on costume and object design for the performance. It would really give TomoeArts a boost!
In recognition of the Fringe's 30th Anniversary, we will use the funds to create and mount nostalgic décor (enlarged mounted vintage photos & posters) at our Opening Night event and in our outdoor Festival areas. These images of Fringe Festivals of the past will honour this significant anniversary while reminding people of the Fringe's long standing history of supporting Vancouver's theatre and performing arts community.
5. Vancouver Inter-Cultural Orchestra
The Vancouver Inter-Cultural Orchestra (VICO) offers a variety of programs, spanning concert performance and education. The funds would be used to pay for artists to perform in our Elementary Schools program – for a number of years we have produced educational concerts for K-7 at the Moberly Arts and Cultural Centre in South Vancouver. These concerts are offered free of charge to the schools in the South Vancouver area.

- The New York Times has a new article up looking at Linda McMahon's Senate campaign, noting that in the past three years she has spent close to $100 million of her own money on her campaigns, including the one that failed in 2010. The Times wrote:
"Ms. McMahon may or may not get to influence job creation as a senator. But she has already made an impact on the Connecticut economy by dishing out close to $100 million for two Senate races over the past three years, far more than anyone has ever spent of their own money to win any federal seat. She has long since blown by the $72 million Ross Perot spent of his own money on presidential bids in 1992 and 1996."

- We noted a few weeks back that a top WWE Superstar lashed out at Vince McMahon backstage, pointing out that WWE's product was in trouble, the ratings were bad and Vince himself may be out of touch. Word now is that John Cena was the one to speak out.

– Ms. Neeta Bhushan, Consul General of India in Chicago
"Spreading the Message of health, happiness and peace across the Globe through Yoga"
Chicago/Naperville: June 28th, 2017: Consulate General of India in Chicago, in collaboration with the City of Naperville, rolled out the third edition of International Yoga Day, on June 24th, 2017 at Naperville Yard, 1603 Legacy Circle, Naperville, IL 60563. The high-profile event was inaugurated by lighting of the lamp and singing of the National Anthems of Republic of India and United States of America. The purpose of the event was to create a broad-based awareness about the benefits of yoga for all sections of society, irrespective of their age group, and also to introduce the ancient mind-body practice to a generation of technology-loving kids and to reintroduce it to an older generation of high-strung adults. Video messages of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, External Affairs Minister Mrs Sushma Swaraj, and Ayush Health Minister Shri Shripad were played during the official opening ceremony.
City of Naperville issued a Proclamation and declared June 24th 2017 as International Yoga Day in the City of Naperville. It was one of the mega events in Chicago in which about 100 community organizations and over 3000 Indian Americans and people belonging to other nationalities participated, along with their family and friends.
The event started at 10 am with Yoga demonstration by volunteers from the Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago. After this, the event shifted to its main official opening ceremony which included lighting of the lamp which was followed by demonstration of common asanas (postures), breathing techniques and shanti mantra. There were breakout sessions of chair yoga for people who have mobility challenges, kids' yoga, women's yoga, and age-based yoga for different generational groups.
Ms. Neeta Bhushan, Consul General of India in Chicago extended warm welcome and greetings to everyone present on the occasion. In her remarks, she said; "June 21st was declared as day of International Yoga Day through UN resolution supported by a whopping 177 countries, a unique record in its own right". She conveyed that yoga was a great way to connect to oneself and achieve a healthy balance between the mind and body. "People are losing their health consciousness, but yoga is one way to get it back", Ms. Neeta Bhushan said and added that yoga helps people in attaining harmony within themselves as well with other members of the community. She also mentioned that Yoga helps people in maintaining balance among their thoughts, emotions, and feelings, and thereby improving their effectiveness, efficiency, and productivity.
Ms. Neeta Bhushan expressed her gratitude to the city of Naperville, its India-friendly Mayor Steve Chirico, the dignitaries, participating organizations, media and community members for taking an active part in the celebration of the Third International Yoga Day. She thanked leaders of other communities such as the Muslim community who had come to participate in the Yoga day in large numbers despite Ramzan.
Mayor of Naperville Hon. Steve Chirico said that the contemporary world of work brings in its wake a highly stressful life for people. "Yoga is a great way to destress and relax, especially for those who are having tough jobs and juggle a lot of things", said Mr. Steve Chirico and added that in the present-day busy life, everyone should take care of his health and well-being.
Congressman Mr. Peter Roskam and Mr. Gaur Gopal Das, and other eminent motivational speaker, also spoke on the occasion and underscored the multifarious health benefits of yoga. Other eminent persons who participated in the inaugural ceremony and other related events included Mayor of Oakbrook Hon. Gopal Lalmalani, Swami Vishwangji, Mr. William Sands, Dean of the College of Maharishi Vedic Science, etc.
Lectures on Yoga, Nutrition, and Weight Loss were delivered by Abhijit Joshi, Anu Malhotra, Kusum Patel, Hiral Vyas, Dr. Harpreet Singh, Prasad Palacharla, and experts representing such well-known organizations as Isha Foundation, Sri Venkateswara Swami Balaji Temple, Sewa International, Brahma Kumaris, Kriya Vedanta Gurukulam, Heartfulness, Science of Spirituality, Sahaja Yoga Meditation, etc.
Cultural Programs, Games, Family, and Kids' Activities were presented by Prachi, Alokita Dhar, Sabrina, Maddy Singh, and artists representing such eminent organizations as Desi Junction, Soorya Dance School, SR International, Jhankaar Dance Group, SNM & UPA Teams, etc.
"The yoga event, featuring about 60 food booths, music, dance, and cultural entertainment made the day a pleasant, enriching, and memorable experience of our lifetime", opined many a participant unanimously.
Jassi Parmar, Sanjeev Singh, and Mohan Rawat, who were the Emcees, conducted the program in a professional fashion and added great value to the event.

Tuesday night, Russo's Coal Fired Kitchen in Pembroke Pines, FL hosted their third monthly beer dinner. This was an extra special version! Pioneering Craft Brewery Anchor Brewing was being featured alongside a four-course meal prepared by Chef Jason Arroyo (previous Sous Chef of Michael's Genuine Food & Drink). AND... Anchor Brewmaster Scott Ungermann was in the house to speak about the beers, including two new ones from their Pacific Siren Series.
Before the dinner, I had the opportunity to chat with Scott and some other representatives from both Anchor and distributor Gold Coast over at a quick and informal beer tasting at neighboring Total Wine. Yum, Liberty Ale! And that Anchor Saison is money!
|Chef Jason Arroyo and Brewmaster Scott Ungermann
Also in the house was long-time "Anchorman" Bob Brewer, with the brewery for 30 years. He is semi-retired now but still travels for some special events. He had a lot of great stories from his sales days. Some of Anchor's local people along with corporate marketing are making some rounds now in the Southeast, spreading the Anchor Gospel.
|Chef Jason Arroyo and Brewmaster Scott Ungermann signed the menu
And you could tell that Scott was really passionate about this particular beer (and the Mango Wheat for the next course) as they are the brewery's newest beers and he was responsible for crafting them. It's totally awesome to still brew the Anchor Steams of the world, but when you also get to tweek that recipe and add in your own signature, pretty special.
We proceeded to be served an awesome fresh green papaya salad with tamarind vinaigrette. Crunchy and sharp and worked so nicely with the flavors of the Mango Wheat beer. Anchor Steamed Mussels with Anchor Steam beer? Yes, please! And I'll eat those belonging to my seafood-shy neighbors too! Oh and please refill this shot glass with more beer!
Braised Osso Buco with spätzle, mustard greens and pickled fennel with Anchor's Winter Wheat. Very tasty! Not your obvious Italian dishes for a beer dinner, at least that was my impression, but not a negative one. I guess I'll have to go back to check out the pizzas and calzones! Oh, and that Hoppin' Cake n' Shake with bruleed meringue paired with Anchor Barrel Ale was the best finish!
I walked out with a new Anchor beer glass and a menu autographed by both the chef and brewmaster (was funny Chef Arroyo was caught by surprise someone would ask for that)! Definitely check out next month's beer dinner at Russo's -- rumor has it the 4th monthly event will involve Tampa's Coppertail Brewing! Not confirmed so pay attention to Russo's Facebook page for all info! But that brewery is so awesome!
Thanks for a great dinner, excellent service, fun people and conversation!
|That's Bob Brewer in the middle!

Apparently, this week's meeting was the last of the year. Given that Clash of Kings is on during the next club meeting and the whole Unholy Trinity will be there, no one can open the doors. Well, shit. There is some chattering about basement games though, so keep an eye on the Facebook.
That being said then, I'm sure I speak for the totality of the UT when I say thank you for you continued and ongoing support of the BEST WARGAMING CLUB in Auckland.There's no way it could be done without people showing up and having a great time enjoying the hobby. Well done, top notch indeed!
So, what did we do this week? Well!!!
One thing was dominating the scene at TCOW this week. Andrew and his Borg Cube. Now, I'm not talking about a Scout Cube. I'm talking a HUGE, full size (in scale) Cube. I mean, look at this thing:
Andrew and Ryan had a couple of games with this thing on the table. I believe that Ryan won the first and then lost the second. Andrew has plans to light this one up inside, which will look AWESOME!
We had 3 games of Flames of War this week, all as part of the Rust and the City Firestorm: Caen campaign.
Mike and Pat fought at Juno Beach with Pat's 12. SS managing to escape the clutches of Mike's Canadians and securing a 4-3 victory.
Beautifully laid out table with some equally well-painted models on display for this game and some very interesting turns. From what I heard, Mike definitely used his RAF support to its fullest.
Pablo and Jon fought in Breville, with the AARR attempting to hold back the Hun tide as best they could. This would see them secure a 4-3 victory, despite Jon's best attempts to dislodge them.
A significant moment in the game occurred when Wayne's reserve Pz IV's rolled on by the objectives. I had my ARP holding them but under weight of fire, they find themselves pinned. Wayne moves in for the assault and I have 2 Bazooka's (pinned, remember) which can make defensive fire. 5's needed and....a 5 and a 6!!! Hits! Now, Wayne makes his saves...or rather...doesn't. One killed and one bailed and the assault fails.
The APR then, seeing these buttoned down tanks, unpins and assaults, capturing all of them! WE HOLD THE GOAT!
So 3 games played to contribute to the campaign and a minor Allied victory all told. Nice to be on the winning side of the ledger!
Francis and Jed played a game of Kings of War, Undead vs. Denizens of the Abyss I believe. From the mutterings I heard, this ended as a draw.
And finally, more EDH action as guys start getting practice in for the eagerly anticipated TCOW M:TG EDH League, starting next year!
At one point on about turn 5 of this game, Damo decided to crack his incubator and create....48 MYR TOKENS!!!
Which he then gains himself 48 additional life from...
So we told him to go away, while we played properly...
So, there you have it. The final meeting of TCOW for 2015 and what a year its been! Keep an eye on Facebook for details of the first 2016 meeting and also information on DanCon III, the most highly anticipated Flames of War tournament in January.
From all of us behind the scenes at TCOW, we wish you and yours a very Happy Holidays. Have fun, stay safe and we'll see you in 2016.

[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/06/23/art.palin.jpg caption=" Join the conversation on Jack's blog."]
There's growing speculation in Alaska that Governor Sarah Palin won't run for reelection in 2010. Politico reports that top Republicans and Democrats are quietly lining up to run for the office — should Palin decide not to.
No one has filed the official paperwork yet; but many are taking the governor's silence as a sign that she'll opt out of a second term in order to get more involved in national politics.
One politician who is weighing a run put it this way: "If you're Palin, once you've flown first class, you don't go back to coach. She's been to the show and certainly seemed to like it there."
He suggests that barring some "unforeseen collapse on the national stage," Palin won't run again for governor.
Some experts expect the governor to wait as long as possible before announcing her plans — that way she can keep her options open and minimize her lame duck status as governor if she decides not to run again.
