At a time when many believe that the fate of the renovations to Sun Life Stadium will hinge on an upcoming public vote, the public vote may not happen, after all.
The bill that needs to become a law to permit the use of hotel tax money is in limbo as the Florida Legislature enters the final day of its 2013 regular season.
According to the Miami Herald, the Florida Senate previously amended a "tax administration" bill to including language relating to the Dolphins' stadium plan. The bill then went to the House of Representatives, and it has been stuck there ever since.
Thursday's effort to un-stick the bill included a visit to the Capitol from Dolphins Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino. Still, some are calling it an "uphill battle," and others have already declared the measure "dead."
"Get the obituary page ready," Rep. Michael Bileca (R-Miami) said.
For now, we've got our popcorn ready. If the bill doesn't pass the House and the Senate on Friday, the May 14 public vote will be canceled.
Which means that Super Bowl L necessarily would be awarded to San Francisco at the next ownership meeting on May 21, since the NFL won't award another Super Bowl to Miami absent the upgrades that the pending plan would provide.

PIANY continues push for standardized storm triggers
ALBANY, N.Y.–The recent spring storms that pounded Long Island and surrounding Downstate New York demonstrate the importance of standardized triggers for windstorm coverage, says the Professional Insurance Agents of New York State Inc. PIANY Directors N. Stephen Ruchman and Peter Resnick; Senior Research Analyst Ellen D. Kiehl, Ph.D., and Legislative Representative Allison Lee will bring this message to a legislative roundtable discussion in Albany Monday, May 10, hosted by Assembly and Senate Insurance Committee Chairs Joseph Morelle, D-132, and Sen. Neil Breslin, D-146, to identify improvements for the states coastal property insurance market.
PIANY has applauded the lawmakers recent success passing legislation to improve availability of affordable coverage for coastal properties, including making the New York Property Insurance Underwriting Association permanent, and beefing NYPIUAs Coastal Market Assistance Program (known as C-MAP), efforts for which the association has long advocated.
During Mondays discussions, PIANY will urge the lawmakers to further this work and enact legislation to standardize hurricane eductible triggers, as a priority for its members and the insurance-buying public they serve.
"Homeowners deserve certainty in the coverage provided by their insurance policies," said Resnick. "The storms we experienced in March demonstrated vast inconsistencies among carriers and policies with regard to the triggers and deductibles in claims related to storms."
"The challenges we faced are a wake up call for lawmakers, insurance carriers and homeowners," Ruchman explained. "We hear so much about the 100-year hurricane that could hit our coast any time. By comparison, the March storms were nothing. We absolutely must address this issue before the public distress and outcry can occur, which will happen if that big one hits our coast."
In addition to the lawmakers hosting the meeting, participants will include representatives from insurance companies and other trade associations.
The Professional Insurance Agents of New York State Inc. is a trade association representing professional, independent insurance agencies, brokerages and their employees throughout the state.

T-ROC and The Retail Outsource Both Rank on Inc. Magazine's Fastest-growing Private Companies – The Inc. 5000
NEW YORK (August 19, 2016)
Inc. magazine today ranked The Revenue Optimization Companies (T-ROC) No. 1448 and its subsidiary company, The Retail Outsource, No. 376 on its 35th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment— its independent small businesses. Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Domino's Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000. The Retail Outsource also ranked No. 24 in Top Retail Companies and No. 14 in Top Miami Companies, and in 2010 it was ranked No. 187 on the Inc. 500 list.
"It is truly an honor to have two of our companies recognized by an established brand authority like Inc. and to be listed alongside many of the world's leading and innovative companies," says Brett Beveridge, President and CEO of The Revenue Optimization Companies and The Retail Outsource. "Our entire team is proud of this accomplishment and the efforts that went in to becoming the company we are today. 2016 was yet another record year and we look forward to continued growth and expansion into new industries in the coming months and years ahead."
The 2016 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 23) is the most competitive crop in the list's history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 433%. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue is $200 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 640,000 jobs over the past three years, or about 8% of all jobs created in the entire economy during that period. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
"The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts," says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. "It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great – usually from scratch. That's one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise fails."
The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring all the companies on the list will be held from October 18 through 20, in San Antonio, TX. Speakers include some of the greatest entrepreneurs of this and past generations, such as best-selling author and strategist Tony Robbins, SoulCycle co-founders Elizabeth Cutler and Julie Rice, Cornerstone OnDemand founder, president and CEO Adam Miller, Marvell Technology Group director and co-founder Weili Dai, and New Belgium Brewing co-founder and executive chair Kim Jordan.

LOVELAND — The driver of a van that rolled Tuesday evening in the 1700 block of North Cleveland Avenue is in critical condition at Medical Center of the Rockies.
North Cleveland rollover crash victims remain in hospital
According to police, a Honda passenger van driven by Kelly Kenny, 27, of Longmont, was traveling south on Cleveland near Taco John's just before 5:30 p.m. when she struck the concrete barricade. The vehicle rolled and the passenger, 25-year-old Adam Kimmel of Longmont, was ejected from the van.
Kenny was partially ejected when the vehicle came to rest, officers said.
Both Kenny and Kimmel were transported from the scene to Medical Center of the Rockies, where Kenny was listed in critical condition on Wednesday and Kimmel was in fair condition.
Alcohol is suspected as a factor in the crash, police said. Following an investigation, the case will be presented to the District Attorney's office for possible charges.

I mentioned here yesterday that Pennsylvanians are enjoying a surge of prosperity while New York Governor Andrew Cuomo kowtows to cheap-energy-hating environmentalists who are making their last stand again natural gas. Cuomo keeps hiding behind "safety reviews," missing several deadlines for a decision and calling for additional investigation.
Today the New York Times reports that Cuomo has been sitting on a state Health Department assessment that concluded months ago that fracking to produce natural gas is safe. The report was leaked to the Times by someone inside the state bureaucracy who is likely outraged by the governor's political cowardice over the matter. The Times' language is revealing:
The state's Health Department found in an analysis it prepared early last year that the much-debated drilling technology known as hydrofracking could be conducted safely in New York, according to a copy obtained by The New York Times from an expert who did not believe it should be kept secret.
The analysis and other health assessments have been closely guarded by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and his administration [meaning Cuomo has suppressed the report because of its inconvenient truth] as the governor weighs whether to approve fracking. Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, has long delayed making a decision, unnerved in part by strident opposition on his party's left. A plan to allow a limited amount of fracking in the state's Southern Tier along the Pennsylvania border is still seen as the most likely outcome, should the drilling process receive final approval.
As a friend remarked to me today, "For years how to revive the economy of rural New York has been a top-of-the-agenda item for politicians. Now that something comes along that could do it, they say, 'Well, maybe not. . .'"

Thousands of years ago, according to legend, the Rat and the Cat tricked the gullible Ox to carry them across the river in the race that would determine the order that the 12 animals would appear in the Shengxiao, the Chinese zodiac. The dirty Rat then pushed the Cat overboard and jumped off to cross the finish line first.
On Sunday night, Duke Riley, the Brooklyn-based artist who made headlines in 2007 for navigating a replica of a wooden Revolutionary War submarine within 200 feet of the Queen Mary II at the Red Hook cruise terminal, and two years later reenacted a Roman-era naval battle for the Queens Museum of Art, staged a rematch of sorts on a canal in Zhujiajiao, China, a water village on the outskirts of Shanghai. Twelve traditional gondolas, each powered by rowers from the community and carrying one of the 12 animals (with at least one stand-in: dragons are somewhat hard to come by) as well as a local opera singer performing songs praising their passenger, raced a short distance past the arches of the town's Fangsheng Bridge.
In conjunction with the event, two live broadcast viewing parties took place in New York, one in Manhattan at the Magnan Metz Gallery and the other at the Egg & Dart Club in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. At the latter, costumed volunteers representing the 12 "contestants" strolled through the crowd before the race, convincing partygoers, encouraged to dress in their "Shanghai casino best," to give a suggested donation in the name of their animal to support the displaced residents of the former Shanghai private zoo. There may or may not have been some unsanctioned gentlemanly wagers placed on various animals to win. Drinks with names like "Tiger's Blood" (a Bloody Mary with homemade pepper-infused vodka) and "Rat Stew" (whiskey, birch beer and vanilla ice cream) were served.
"Think about it," said Jason Engdahl, wearing a giant rabbit head, out on the roof deck. "The Rabbit should win. It's all about short sprints. Sure, a dragon's fast, but it takes a long time to get started." Dakota Kim, representing the Dragon, disagreed. "2012 is the Year of the Dragon. This is my year." "Pick the Goat," someone else chimed in. "The fix is in. We have a man in Shanghai."
The race itself, projected on a wall, was over in a flash, with the Ox and Horse neck and neck down the homestretch, and everyone in the room cheering on their favorite animal. After some deliberation, during which time a mock fight between the Goat and the Horse devolved into a dance-off ("I think the Horse is definitely winning the dance contest," conceded the Goat), it was decided that the Horse crossed first. But with no one to confirm the outcome, attendees turned to more pressing matters. The DJ was given the nod, and all the animals and their supporters settled their differences on the dancefloor. Even the Rat.*
[*Apparently a Chinese opera song was performed by a woman in a dragon costume toward the end of the night, but this reporter was so dismayed that his animal—the snake—did not win that he left before it happened.]

Saved from the Queen
A serious dilemma faced the great rabbi of Prague, Rabbi Yechezkel Landau, author of the Responsa Noda BiYehuda. A kohen in the community asked him to officiate at his marriage to a divorcee. When he refused to do so on religious grounds, the man reported him to the Austrian Queen Maria Theresa who ordered the rabbi to perform the service or face serious punishment.
The rabbi thereupon informed the informant kohen that he would indeed officiate and arrangements for the wedding were made. As the couple stood under the chupah and the climatic moment arrived, the rabbi turned to the kohen and asked him to repeat after him word for word this marriage declaration:
"You are betrothed to me according to the rule of Queen Maria Theresa."
The guests broke into loud laughter and left the kohen and the divorcee to themselves. The brilliant rabbi of Prague thus remained faithful to his religion and no longer in danger from the Queen.

Ernie Isley
Ernie Isley started off the Milwaukee show by playing "Stone Free" on his Custom Shop Strat. His pedalboard included a Dunlop Rotovibe, Voodoo Lab Proctavia, Boss BF-2 Flanger, ProCo Rat, and a Dunlop Crybaby wah.
Of all the guitarists on the tour, Ernie Isley holds one distinction none of the others can claim. Isley—who first found wide exposure as the guitarist for famed R&B/funk band the Isley Brothers—watched Saturday-morning cartoons with Jimi. As Isley described during his three-song set—which included "Stone Free" and "Message to Love" with Cox, as well as "Manic Depression"—he knew Hendrix before all the funky outfits and guitar antics, back when Hendrix was an Isley Brothers sideman. He recalled how he knew Hendrix would become something remarkable.
In fact, before each song in his set, Isley waxed poetic about Hendrix. He first remembered Hendrix getting a white Strat, just after joining his brothers' band, and then he recalled seeing Hendrix after his first stint in England, dressed, as he said, like a carnival performer with bell-bottoms and several rings. But what really struck us was Isley's last story. He remembered when Hendrix stayed at his family's house for weeks on end and how he'd never be without that white Strat. How Hendrix would hunch over that Strat for endless hours, crafting licks and chord progressions. Isley mimicked a few of the licks on guitar while telling the story—some were unfamiliar, others recognizable. Isley then paused, looked up at the heavens, and said he recalled one riff more than the other. Then he launched into one of the most inspiring performances of the show. We won't ever hear "Manic Depression" without thinking of that night.
These Fender Custom Shop Strats were commissioned by Isley's wife as birthday presents. They both feature maple (right) and flamed maple (left) tops and roses handcarved by George Amicay. The rosewood fretboards have several inlays, including a hummingbird, two doves, and the word "Zeal." Both guitars also feature custom single-coils and gold hardware. The flame maple guitar was built by Art Esparza.

Sea Shepherd crew logs season's first clash with Japanese whalers
A prolonged game of cat-and-mouse between the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and a vessel from the Japanese whaling fleet today turned into the first clash this season between the adversaries, according to the group that is en route to Antarctic waters to try to disrupt the annual whale hunt.
Sea Shepherd posted on its website a short story stating its flagship vessel, Steve Irwin, after several days of being followed by the Shonan Maru 2, emerged from its hiding place behind an iceberg and crews on both vessels engaged in a brief fight with water cannons.
The Japanese harpoon vessel was placed on an evasive course and Capt. Paul Watson of the Steve Irwin kept up a pursuit for two hours before resuming a course toward Antarctica. Watson believes the harpoon vessel has been following the Steve Irwin in order to keep the rest of the whaling fleet aware of its whereabouts. Watson is hoping to use the thicker bergs ahead, and the shelter they provide, to lose the shadow vessel.
"We will use the icebergs and the ice floes to our advantage," Watson said. "I've observed today that I am a more experienced ice navigator than the Japanese captain chasing us. We need to get him to follow us into the ice fields and let the ice work for us."

Hosted by Brooke Burns, MOTOR CITY MASTERS pits 10 talented designers from different parts of the automotive industry against each other each week in the ambitious task of creating new, fully-functional concept cars based around a theme.
Pardo, an artist and designer who lives and works in Detroit — when he's not competing on reality shows — owns an art gallery not too far from Comerica Park. A former chief designer at Ford, the 51-year-old also taught classes at the city's renowned College for Creative Studies.
Internationally recognized for his groundbreaking design on the Ford GT, Camilo's work carries an inertia that transcends from his work seen on the city's freeways as it flows seamlessly into the worlds of fashion and fine art galleries.
The show Motor City Masters had been shot in and around Los Angeles, but the season finale was shot in Detroit, and the winner, Camila Pardo, was crowned at the GM headquarters. Pardo, sees coming home as an omen. "I'm back to the Motor City. I wasn't sure how long I was going to be in the challenge," he says,"but I made it all the way through and I made it all the way back. … Everything has built up to this moment."
Camilo is the former chief designer at Ford (2004-2006) where he was responsible for designs of the SVT Mustang, the Ford Focus and the Ford GT. He won the IDSA (Industrial Design Society Merit Award) and was the first student at CCS to hold an international internship (France)
One by one, designers who fall short will be sent home by the judges until only a single MOTOR CITY MASTER remains. Industry expert judges Jean Jennings and Harald Belker are joined by celebrity guest judges including actress Melissa Joan Hart, actor Jesse Metcalfe, Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, baseball great David Justice and former NASCAR driver Robby Gordon.

It was pretty easy to predict that the Packers were going to try to beat the Colts this weekend without wide receiver Greg Jennings after Jennings aggravated his groin injury against the Saints, but we thought we'd have to wait until Friday for them to make the news official.
It seems that calling replacement referees who played a hand in a call that sent his team to a loss isn't the only way that Packers coach Mike McCarthy shows that he's thoughtful, however. McCarthy announced Thursday that Jennings is out of the lineup, which means that the Colts, fantasy football owners, gamblers and others can now plan accordingly.
There wasn't really any sense to waiting to make the call on Jennings. The fact that McCarthy went public early this week with word that the team was thinking about shutting Jennings down for a week in order for his groin to fully heal was a pretty massive hint about his status for Sunday. Now the team can set its sights on building a game plan that doesn't include Jennings while Jennings can focus only on getting ready for what should be a pretty entertaining matchup with the Texans in Week Six.
James Jones, Randall Cobb and Donald Driver will fill in alongside Jordy Nelson with Jennings out of the lineup, a group that could prove to be too much for a suspect Colts secondary to stop this Sunday.

President ignores small business "fiscal cliff" warnings0

President Obama's politically based move to block the extension of crucial, soon-to-expire tax provisions will have very real consequences to small businesses. His decision to increase taxes on all Americans who earn more than $250,000, small-business owners in particular, will impact businesses that are in the best position to create jobs.
Warned repeatedly of a rapidly approaching "fiscal cliff" that will have lasting economic consequences, the president is refusing to steer the economy clear of an impending tax increase of major proportions, proclaiming "the private sector is doing just fine."
But the facts are clear. According to the latest National Federation of Independent Business Small Business Optimism Index, Main Street reversed its engines in June. Owners' hopes for better times ahead plunged three percentage points, wiping out any gains made earlier in the year.
Nine of the survey's 10 indicators fell negative: job creation became very weak—far short of that needed to reduce the 8.2 percent unemployment rate while weak sales reached the top of the list as the biggest problem for one-fourth of owners, followed by taxes and unreasonable regulations. Credit conditions offered the only positive note, but more than nine of 10 owners have no need to borrow in this struggling economy.
Small firms, historically the primary source of the nation's new jobs, are struggling; many are going under. But the Obama administration shows no intention of tossing them a lifeline. Instead, the president has made it clear he believes the economy's rescue can only be achieved through higher taxes, bigger bureaucracies and greater regulation, all key components of his new health law.
That's why he's ignoring the red flags being waved furiously by economists, business leaders and worried Main Street entrepreneurs who grasp the danger that the Dec. 31 tax expiration deadline holds. This combination of tax increases and spending reductions could send the economy back into a recession further exacerbating small business owner's outlook. But if it unfolds as the president hopes, it will generate a huge windfall to fuel more government growth and help pay for Obamacare.
In all, these tax increases amount to a $500 billion tax bill for the private sector, mainly small businesses whose reluctance to expand is caused by political uncertainty. Allowing the provisions to lapse will end important tax provisions. Most brackets will rise, as will capital gains rates on long-term assets; dividends will be taxed as ordinary income; and credits for earned income, dependent care and adoptions will cease.
In addition, estate taxes will leap 20 percentage points to 55 percent, expensing limits will fall, employees' payroll taxes will rise by one-third to 6.2 percent and 31 million additional taxpayers will be forced to pay alternative minimum taxes.
It's not too late. The president can avert the plunge over the fiscal cliff. A failure to extend these key tax lifelines to small firms will only cause more damage to America's floundering economy.
Dan Danner is president and CEO of the National Federation of Independent Business, which represents 350,000 small-business owners in Washington, D.C. and every state capital.

Morocco escorts 'abortion boat' from its waters
An 11-metre yacht dubbed the Dutch "abortion boat," which was due to provide free treatment to women in Morocco, was escorted from Moroccan territorial waters Thursday, amid competing claims about its authenticity.
Women on Waves, the Dutch group organising the controversial trip, said they denied access to the boat that was docked in the Moroccan harbour of Smir for "several days," after having said that it was due to arrive on Thursday.
The campaign group said the authorities searched the boat, and despite the fact that "no laws were broken... (and) they did not find anything incriminating," the ship was escorted from the harbour by the navy.
The interior ministry confirmed that the Dutch boat had left the harbour. But it said it was a diversion, created to distract media attention from the failure of the real abortion ship to reach its planned destination.
The vessel at Smir Marina was in fact "just a yacht, measuring 11 metres by three metres, with two Dutch citizens on board, which arrived... on September 2 while on a cruise," the ministry said in a statement.
"The two Dutch citizens raised a banner on Thursday afternoon in a sign of solidarity with the boat in question, to try to deflect the media attention from, and cover up the failure of this operation," it added.
Women on Waves, which claimed earlier that the Moroccan navy was blocking the arrival of the so-called abortion ship, said the purpose of the visit was to help women induce "safe legal medical abortions" by offering medication and advice.
It was to be the first such trip to a Muslim country.
Abortion is illegal in Morocco, a relatively conservative Muslim society, and the health ministry had said that the ship was not authorised to operate on its territory, calling on the relevant authorities to prevent it from doing so.
At midday, up to 300 people gathered at Smir to protest against the visit, according to an AFP journalist.
The demonstrators shouted slogans and waved banners, which read: "Life is a divine gift that must be preserved," and "Abortion is an attack on the right to life," the official MAP news agency reported.
In the past 11 years, a Women on Waves ship has visited Ireland, Poland, Portugal and Spain, sparking protests in each country from pro-life groups.
The AFP journalist confirmed that the security forces, deployed in Smir since early morning, were restricting access to the harbour, which lies in the Mediterranean, around 40 kilometres (25 miles) east of Tangier.
The Dutch NGO estimates that between 600 and 800 illegal abortions take place every day in Morocco, but only around 200 of them are done properly, with most women resorting to cheap, unsanitary methods that put their lives at risk.
Rebecca Gomperts, the group's founder, said illegal abortions cause the deaths of 78 Moroccan women each year on average, citing statistics provided by the World Health Organisation.
Moroccan pro-life groups dispute the figures, and throughout the week ordinary Moroccans have voiced strong opposition to the Women on Waves visit, which local youth group the Alternative Movement for Individual Liberties helped to organise.
The activists say the ship will stay near Morocco while they plan their next move.

Tonawanda restaurant is first of up to eight new Dunkin' Donuts scheduled to open by end of next year; new locations will add up to 200 jobs in Western New York
Press release
Dunkin' Donuts, America's all-day, everyday stop for coffee and baked goods, has announced plans for sustained growth and expansion in Western New York during the grand opening of a new restaurant in Tonawanda.
The new restaurant, at 2225 Colvin Blvd., in the Colvin-Eggert Plaza, marks the first of up to eight new Dunkin' Donuts locations to open by the end of next year under the ownership of long-time Dunkin' Donuts franchisee Timothy E. Cloe. Cloe entered the Buffalo market in March 2011 with the purchase of 11 stores.
Over the past 16 months, Cloe has acquired 10 additional restaurants in the area. The Tonawanda location and the remaining seven restaurant openings will bring the total number of stores under Cloe's ownership to 29 throughout Western New York. In total, the plan will create up to 200 new jobs throughout the region.
"We are excited to expand the Dunkin' Donuts footprint in Western New York. Over the past year, our team has become an integral part of the Buffalo community," Cloe said. "We are proud to bring the fast, friendly service and high-quality beverage and food options that are the hallmark of Dunkin' Donuts to even more residents throughout Western New York with the new restaurant openings."
The Tonawanda opening will be followed by a new Dunkin' Donuts in Lockport this coming winter. Additional restaurants are planned for Erie, Niagara and Chautauqua counties.
A 12-year Dunkin' Donuts franchisee, Cloe shares management responsibilities of his Western New York properties with his franchise's chief operating officer, Buffalo native Doug Spolyar, who oversees the day-to-day operations and management of the current 22 restaurants in the market.
The new Tonawanda restaurant is approximately 1,600 square feet, seats 24 guests and employs about 25 crew members. The restaurant is open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week. It features a classic look that provides a fresh, friendly, vibrant and engaging environment for guests. Complete with a warm interior color palette, the restaurant also offers comfortable guest seating and atmospheric lighting. Additionally, the restaurant has a drive-thru for faster service.
Dunkin' Donuts' development throughout Western New York and the surrounding areas is part of a steady and strategic growth plan, which includes expanding in existing markets while entering new cities across the country to help drive the leading coffee and bakery chain's growth.
For information about franchise opportunities or to attend an upcoming webinar, visitwww.dunkinfranchising.com.
Dunkin' Donuts is one of the leading baked goods and coffee chains in the world, selling 1.5 billion cups of hot and iced coffee and approximately 2.1 billion donuts and MUNCHKINS donut hole treats every year. Today, there are approximately 10,000 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants worldwide.

How to Make Mayahuel's Good Cork
Get the Recipe
"I'm a firm believe in templates," says Philip Ward, co-owner of Mayahuel in New York's East Village. "They're like blueprints you can take apart and put back together in different ways." For the Good Cork, Ward sought (loose) inspiration from the Fancy Free, a classic cocktail with a two-parts booze to half-part liqueur plus bitters ratio.
"Besides templates, I like to split hairs, so instead of two parts of one spirit, you have one part each of two different spirits," Ward explains. Here, he subs the Fancy Free's bourbon for one part Redbreast whiskey and one part Del Maguey Vida mezcal.
Whereas the Fancy Free is made with maraschino, the deep, autumn-fruit essence and spice of the whiskey, plus the smoke of the mezcal call for Benedictine. "Benedictine tastes like so many things at once; there is no on dominant flavor," Ward notes. It is this dynamism that makes it what Ward calls "really good glue."
With cognac, citrus, saffron, vanilla and honey all getting facetime in Benedictine, the liqueur plays well with the booze's smoke and spice. With a couple dashes of Peychaud's Bitters, Ward emphasizes the spice and herbs. Ward stirs the foursome and pours it over ice, garnishing with a slice of apple for aroma.
"Peychaud's, Benedictine, and apple are practically a holy trinity," he swoons, "And the Irish whiskey and mezcal go well with apple as well."
Super smoky but far from fiery, the Good Cork is a stiff, whiskey drinker's cocktail with a welcome twist. Its flavor shifts subtly, the aggressive spirits slowly giving way to the fruitiness and spice underneath.

If you ever hassle me IC for not playing much that means that I'm going to play even less or I'll forever write you off as a neckbeard chained to his computer. So don't be a dick.
As a tip, do not make your character's focus too specific.
Ah well you should just kill those PCs. They're not worth the time of plotting creatively against.
A Kuraci regular shouts, in sirihish: "Bad move, fool!"A Kuraci regular slashes a filthy grey rat on its body.
My favorite dwarf focus was to have the perfect family. The dwarf didn't have a family growing up, since her parents went off to dwarf, and having the perfect family was what she latched on to. She first needed to find a good male contributor. She joined the Byn, where most of the male dwarves hung out, and also to learn to protect her future family. She had a thing about skin conditions since her first kid was born with a skin mutation and she had to abandon it in an alley, since it was not perfect enough.She fought with blunt weapons because if a toddler accidentally got hold of one, it wasn't likely to do permanent harm.She was subguild physician, to be able to nurse her kids through illnesses (or to humanely euthanize then if they got ill too often and were sickly and thus not perfect, since abandoning that baby was traumatic and all).She was crazy about baby-proofing her apartment. She went through like 4 apartments before she found a sufficient ground floor one. She eventually stored to raise her family virtually, because it's no fun RPing a helicopter parent.
Someone stands right behind you, abruptly wrapping her strong arms around you in a warm, tender embrace, immediately breaking off again and darting for the doorway with subdued steps.

How can you make a fork more efficient at carrying the food from the thing, to my mouth-hole? Thats the real question.
Masks are the Armageddon equivalent of Ed Hardy shirts.
Being the besy fighter in the Known is a good focus, in and of itself. The issue I see with it as a focus, isnt the focus itself, its that people use it as an excuse to join the Byn and spar all day every day until they can fight 12 guys naked and unarmed.
I love playing dwarves, but I'm always afraid I'll change my mind about what I want to do while I'm logged in.

How Reliable Is the Administration's Evidence on Syria?
Intelligence veterans said Friday that the unclassified presentation of the intelligence assessment appeared solid.
"This is a pretty strong assessment," said John McLaughlin, who served as deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 2000 to 2004. "The intelligence community does not say 'high confidence' about something unless they have really chewed it over." Intelligence agencies state their findings in terms of high, medium, or low confidence.
Mr. McLaughlin said the term "high confidence" is not "used lightly" particularly since the 2003 Iraq intelligence failure. But he noted that the assessment includes a caveat that "high confidence" falls short of confirmation.
He said that confirmation, or indisputable evidence, of sensitive intelligence matters is rare, and in this case it could be physical samples or a confession by a regime official. "There is always some element, in this case small," of uncertainty, he said…

Mohn (Japanese: モーン Mohn) is a character introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon.
In the games
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
Mohn watches over Poké Pelago and explains it to the player. He was Lusamine's husband and is Lillie's and Gladion's father. As a professor working for the Aether Foundation, he was the first to confirm the existence of Ultra Wormholes and Ultra Beasts. A few years before the events of Sun and Moon/Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, he vanished while on a mission to try to connect to an Ultra Wormhole, leaving behind only a weakened Cosmog, some papers on Nihilego, and a theory on the wormholes. It is uncertain how he ended up on Poké Pelago, and it is never discussed during the events of the games.
In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, after defeating Gladion at the Pokémon League, Mohn will pay a visit to Aether Paradise. Upon seeing Lusamine, he introduces himself as Mohn and compares the Paradise to Poké Pelago. Lusamine asks if it is his first time visiting Aether Paradise, to which Mohn affirms. Accepting that Mohn has both completely forgotten his past and finally found happiness, Lusamine bids him farewell.
- If the player has no Pokémon in the PC boxes (Any of the following)
- "Welcome! You've come to Poké Pelago! These uninhabited islands exist solely for the delight of Pokémon you've deposited in your PC Boxes. Hmm? Hold the phone! You don't seem to have any Pokémon in your PC Boxes, now do you? Why don't you go catch a bunch of Pokémon and put some in your PC Boxes before you come visit us again?"
- "Welcome! You've come to Poké Pelago! These uninhabited islands exist solely for the delight of Pokémon. Hmm? Hold the phone! You don't seem to have any Pokémon in your PC Boxes, now do you? Poké Pelago is a resort designed to entertain the Pokémon you deposit in your PC Boxes. Why don't you put some Pokémon in your Boxes and then come visit us again?"
- If the player has one or more Pokémon in the PC boxes
- "Welcome! You've come to Poké Pelago! These uninhabited islands exist solely for the delight of Pokémon. But I suppose I should introduce myself, eh? Ha ha, how rude of me! You can call me Mohn! I'm in charge of keeping Poké Pelago running."
- "And you are...<player>, right? OK! Then let's get things started!"
- "The Pokémon that you've deposited in your PC Boxes can freely come here to Poké Pelago to have a bit of fun whenever they want. Right now we only have one small isle available for them to play on, but if you'll help me out, that won't be true for very long! So here's what you need to do first. Would you pick up the Poké Beans that have fallen to the ground around the island?"
- After picking up the first Poké Bean
- "Pokémon love Poké Beans. They're delicious and nutritious! And they can also sprout into Poké Beanstalks, like that one in the middle of the island. The one you just picked up is a Plain Bean. There are also rare Poké Beans called Patterned Beans and even Rainbow Beans! I love hands-on learning. Don't you agree? So why don't you give that Poké Beanstalk a good shake and see what happens?"
- After shaking the tree
- "Shake the beanstalk to drop some Poké Beans! Pick up the Poké Beans to add to your stores! OK, now you've got it! See! Isn't it better to learn by doing? You can collect Poké Beans once a day or so. If no new Poké Beans come tumbling down, then wait a day and then try again! Put some of the Poké Beans you collect into the Poké Bean crate on the island, would you? Then they'll be handy for any hungry Pokémon wandering around the island to eat anytime!"
- After touching the Poké Bean crate for the first time
- "Yup! That's a Poké Bean crate right there! You can drop Poké Beans in there, and the Pokémon will love you for it. Especially here on Isle Abeens. Leaving Poké Beans in the crate here can even tempt wild Pokémon to come by for a gander and some fun. Oh, yes! One more thing! The rarer kinds of Poké Beans will have their effects last longer. You might want to remember that fact! But as long as you fill the crate up, then you'll probably be A-OK. Don't you worry! And if you ever want to talk to me about things, no need to feel shy. Just zip right over to my raft hut!"
- After touching the raft hut for the first time
- "Wonderful to see you again! I'm delighted to welcome you to my raft hut! This has been my own private castle ever since that fateful day when I decided to turn these uninhabited islands into a resort for Pokémon. I built this place myself and it's not too shabby, if I dare say so myself. I have everything I could need here to keep Poké Pelago up and running. So, <player>! I've got a favor to ask of a promising Trainer like yourself. Poké Pelago only features one small island at the moment, as you've seen. If you were to liken it to a Pokémon, it would be a Lv. 1 babe just hatched from its Egg! So I'd like you and your Pokémon to put some effort into developing the islands here! Developing the isles here basically means breaking ground on new isles or improving the facilities on isles you already have started on. We'll borrow the strength of the Pokémon you have in your Boxes to do the work. Oh, and we'll need some Plain Beans! Don't forget those! No one can work well on an empty stomach! OK! That's it from me right now. But come see me in my Raft Hut anytime that you want some help developing isles! Mohn here! I keep things running here at Poké Pelago."
- After touching a Pokémon (Any of the following)
- "<Pokémon> seems to really love it at Poké Pelago!"
- "Would you like to take a closer look at <Pokémon>?"
- "<Pokémon> seems to really have a great love for Pokémon battles!"
- "<Pokémon> seems to be wanting to have an adventure with you, if I'm not mistaken! Why don't you add it to your party sometime?"
- After touching the Poké Bean crate subsequently
- "Go on and choose how many of your Poké Beans you'd like to put into the Poké Bean crate."
- "Thank you, my boy/girl! The Pokémon will be delighted, no doubt!"
- After touching the Poké Bean crate when it is full
- "There are still some Poké Beans from last time. Wait till they're all gone, then you can add more."
- After touching the raft hut subsequently
- "Did you want to do something?"
- Develop Isles
- "So you'll help me! Thank you, thank you. And now that we have that settled... OK then! There are five isles total that you can develop here at Poké Pelago! Each one will require you to have a different number of Pokémon in your Boxes and Plain Beans in your coffers! Check what it says that you need to develop each isle in its summary, OK? OK then! If that's all clear, you just tell me which isle you'd like to develop next!"
- "Yeah, I think we could do that!"
- "Order received! Then I'll get straight to work!"
- "I'm afraid you haven't got enough Pokémon in your Boxes yet for me to develop that isle."
- Exchange Poké Beans
- "Poké Beans can come in special varieties called Patterned Beans and Rainbow Beans. You can sometimes find these rare Poké Beans on Isle Abeens, if you're lucky. They are absolutely delicious, so your Pokémon will be delighted if you feed one to them! In fact...I'll let you in on a little secret. Patterned Beans and Rainbow Beans are in fact some of my favorite foods, as well! They have delightful flavor and just the right amount of chew. Once I start eating them, I can't stop myself! ... ... ... Hey now, please don't look at me like that... I've been working here managing Poké Pelago for a very long time and it's a really tough habit to break! Anyway, you don't need to worry yourself about my diet. This is all you need to know: I'll give you three Plain Beans for each Patterned Bean you offer me. And seven Plain Beans for each Rainbow Bean! So what do you say to a little trade? Decide how many of your rarer Poké Beans you'd like to exchange for Plain Beans."
- "OK! So let's trade some beans!"
- "Looks to me like you have plenty of Plain Beans. Let's trade when your stores have gone down."
- Send out a Bean Bottle
- "Oh! This'll be your first Bean Bottle, won't it? Yes, a Bean Bottle is just what it sounds like: a bottle that has Poké Beans in it. Bean Bottles sometimes wash up to onto the shore here at these isles. They must have been set adrift by someone else out in this wide world, which is connected all over by the great oceans! People set these bottles adrift hoping that they might bring some happiness to the person who finds one! It's a pretty romantic idea, isn't it? And that's A-OK in my book!"
- "If you bring happiness to someone else, then maybe something good will happen to you, too! That's why it never hurts to do something nice like setting a Bean Bottle adrift in the ocean. But you can only send out one Bean Bottle per day, I'm afraid. Happiness that can be bought cheaply might end up inviting unhappiness instead!"
- "You've already sent out one bottle today. The limit is just one a day! Fair's fair!"
- Isle Abeens
- "The Isle Abeens renovations are complete!"
- "The Isle Abeens renovations are complete! It's perfect now! I can't imagine any way to improve it further!"
- "<Pokémon> went into a Poké Ball!"
- "The Poké Beanstalk has gotten larger, so you can probably get more Poké Beans from it now! I bet more wild Pokémon will come by, enticed by its offerings. The Pokémon all look quite eager! Keep up the hard work!"
- "That Poké Beanstalk is truly formidable. I'll bet you get even more Poké Beans now! And even more wild Pokémon coming by to play and to marvel at it, too! Your Pokémon look eager to check it out, too. Thanks for helping improve Poké Pelago!"
- "Looks like you should be able to develop the Isle Abeens/Aplenny/Aphun/Evelup/Avue now! I'll be waiting for you in the Raft Hut!"
- "You've got everything you need to develop an isle for Poké Pelago! Did you know that? Stop by my Raft Hut and check it out!"
- "Looks like you've got more than 30 Pokémon in your PC Boxes now! You'll be needing more Poké Beans then. I guess I've got to work harder, too!"
- "Looks like you've got more than 90 Pokémon in your PC Boxes now! You'll be needing a lot of Poké Beans then! I guess I've got to work harder, too!"
- "Looks like you've got more than 150 Pokémon in your PC Boxes now! You'll be needing whole piles of Poké Beans! I guess I've got to work harder, too!"
- Isle Aplenny
- "The Isle Aplenny renovations are complete!"
- "OK! What do you think? This is Isle Aplenny! I used that nice flat bit of land there to make a field where you can plant your Berries. Now your Pokémon can enjoy tending to Berry trees and harvesting Berries here!"
- "Thanks to your Pokémon's hard work, we've been able to expand the Berry fields! Now you can grow up to 12 different types of Berries at a time. It should also be easier to water the seedlings now, so I bet your harvest might increase, too! Your Pokémon look delighted with the new field. Keep up the hard work!"
- "Now Isle Aplenny is completely covered with Berry fields! You can plant and grow up to 18 different types of Berries now. And it's even easier to water the seedlings, so I bet your harvest will increase more, too! Thanks for helping Poké Pelago grow!"
- "The Isle Aplenny renovations are complete! It's perfect now! I can't imagine any way to improve it further!"
- "That's right! If you want to plant some Berries, tap the sign and let me know! Your Pokémon are looking pretty happy. Keep up the good work!"
- "Which Berry would you like to plant?"
- "OK! I'm looking forward to that Berry harvest!"
- "Looks like there's no more space to plant any Berries in that field! Why don't you harvest some of your ripe Berries and free up a little space to plant in?"
- "You should add some Poké Beans after you've planted a few Berries first!"
- "Go on and choose how many of your Poké Beans you'd like to put into the Poké Bean crate."
- "Thank you, my boy/girl! The Pokémon will be delighted, no doubt! This will really help with the ol' motivation!"
- "<Pokémon> is a dab hand at pulling up weeds from the fields!"
- "<Pokémon> plants the Berries very neatly!"
- Isle Aphun
- "The Isle Aphun renovations are complete!"
- "OK! What do you think? This is Isle Aphun! There's a big cave on this island, so now your Pokémon can explore it and have adventures."
- "We've excavated further and made some new paths through the cave! Your Pokémon might be able to find some rare stones if they explore the new path. They look pretty pumped up for an adventure! Keep up the hard work!"
- "The paths through the cave have increased! Now your Pokémon can explore deep into the island's underground! They might find some real treasures in there! I'd say your Pokémon look thrilled to explore! Thanks again for helping develop Poké Pelago!"
- "That's right! If you want your Pokémon to explore one of the cave's paths, tap the sign and let me know! And if they find anything while they explore, I'll have them leave it in that treasure crate that's in the middle of the island. Your Pokémon look thrilled to get out there! Keep up the good work!"
- "The Isle Aphun renovations are complete! It's perfect now! I can't imagine any way to improve it further!"
- Isle Evelup
- "The Isle Evelup renovations are complete!"
- "OK! What do you say? This is Isle Evelup! There are logs and things to climb, and a nice sandy area to play in and exercise with. Now your Pokémon can help themselves to grow stronger while they have fun!"
- "We have some new play structures for your Pokémon to play on! Now you can invite up to 12 of your Pokémon here to play at a time. I bet your Pokémon will be delighted! Keep up the hard work!"
- "We've used the driftwood that was buried in the beach to make even more equipment! You can now have up to 18 Pokémon playing on the equipment here at one time. I'm sure your Pokémon will be delighted! Thanks for all your help developing Poké Pelago!"
- "That's right! Check out the sign there and you can decide which Pokémon you want to invite to play here at Isle Evelup! I've also prepared some special drinks for the Pokémon playing here at Isle Evelup. Just a little treat from me for the hard workers! And you should choose a drink you'd like to share with your Pokémon when you're deciding who you want to call out to play. Your Pokémon will be delighted! Keep up the good work!"
- "The Isle Evelup renovations are complete! It's perfect now! I can't imagine any way to improve it further!"
- Isle Avue
- "The Isle Avue renovations are complete!"
- "OK! What do you think? This is Isle Avue! I've used the warm water that wells up beneath this island here to make a hot spring bath! Your Pokémon will be able to relax and get real cozy here."
- "We added another hot spring bath to the isle! Now you can have up to 12 Pokémon enter the baths at once. And the fountain that provides the water is also bigger, so I bet your Pokémon will be able to relax even better in the abundant water. Your Pokémon are looking pretty cozy to me! Keep up the hard work!"
- "Now all of Isle Avue has been converted to hot spring baths! You can have up to 18 Pokémon in the baths at once now. The fountain where the water flows from looks quite magnificent now, and your Pokémon will be feeling relaxed in no time, I'd say! Your Pokémon are looking pretty cozy to me! Thanks for helping develop Poké Pelago!"
- "That's right! Check out the sign there and you can let me know which Pokémon you'll send over to relax here at Isle Avue! Your Pokémon will be perfectly at home here! Keep up the good work!"
- "It looks like it's going to be a good long while until this Egg hatches."
- "You've come at just the right time! This Egg looks ready to hatch at any moment!"
- "The Isle Avue renovations are complete! It's perfect now! I can't imagine any way to improve it further!"
- If the player leaves the Poké Pelago
- "Do you want to leave Poké Pelago?"
- Yes: "OK! Then come back soon!"
- If the player fully developed Poké Pelago
- "<player>! We've done it! Poké Pelago has been fully developed into its final, perfect form! And it's all thanks to you, <player>! Thank you so much! I know this isn't much, but I hope that you'll take it as an expression of my gratitude!"
- "I hope you'll continue to use Poké Pelago to great effect with your Pokémon!"
- "We've done it! It's the perfect Poké Pelago I've always dreamed of! You've done it! OK! This is fantastic! And it's all thanks to you, <player>! Thank you so much! Poké Pelago now belongs to you and your Pokémon, I'd say! I hope you'll continue to use it to great effect!"
- Route 7USUM
- "You... You've passed Kiawe's trial! Well done! OK! So that means you can now ride on Charizard... In that case, why don't I tell you about a great way to play with the Pokémon in your Boxes! You ready for this? Press ⨂, to open the X menu, and then tap on Poké Pelago to take off, OK? I'll be waiting for you and your Pokémon to visit!"
- Aether ParadiseUSUM
- "So this is Aether Paradise... A fine facility you have here, Madam President!"
- "Is something...the matter?"
- "Yes! Please call me Mohn. I operate a series of islands known as Poké Pelago, where we take care of Pokémon. But nothing comes close to the care offered at Aether Paradise, after all!"
- "Hey there, <player>! Your Pokémon enjoy Poké Pelago, don't they?"
- Sure do!: "Ha! OK! Sorry about that! I suppose I put you on the spot there."
- Well, uh...: "Oops! I guess I shouldn't put you on the spot when we're right in front of the president! I don't expect you to pick sides or anything!"
- "This is fascinating, though... I let the Pokémon mostly do as they please back at Poké Pelago, so I'm not sure how much I can apply of what you do here at Aether Paradise... But it's a fine facility indeed!"
- "Though...?"
- "I see... It's true that each Trainer does end up deciding what to do with the Pokémon they catch... I suppose I'll just have to find more islands, so I can expand Poké Pelago and care for even more boxed Pokémon there!"
- "When that time comes, I do hope that we might be able to work together, ma'am."
- "Well, this has been a stimulating visit indeed! Thank you very much for your time, ma'am."
- "Indeed it is. Why do you ask?"
- "Until we meet again, then!"

Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon
In the anime
As a younger man, Mohn moved to the Alola region to continue researching Ultra Wormholes. He was also a powerful Trainer, who defeated Hala and earned himself a Z-Ring.
He founded the Aether Foundation alongside his wife Lusamine, and their colleagues Faba and Wicke. One day, Mohn was sucked into an Ultra Wormhole during one of his experiments, and had been presumed dead ever since. This accident caused Lusamine a lot of grief and she decided to never talk to her young children about their father. Lusamine almost placed his research into confidentiality, though Faba ended up moving it all to his lab on Aether Paradise.
Mohn debuted in Mission: Total Recall!, where he was partially seen in a wedding photograph with Lusamine.
Mohn made his physical debut in a flashback in Showdown on Poni Island!. Lillie encountered her brother Gladion on Poni Island while he was searching for Tapu Fini, having heard that it possessed the ability to allow the living and dead to see each other again. Lillie said she had heard that he passed away while researching Ultra Wormholes, but Gladion was unable to confirm this.
In Memories in the Mist!, Gladion and Lillie searched through Tapu Fini's mist for Mohn, but were unable to find him. Hapu informed them that this was likely because Mohn was, in fact, still alive, and they decided to tell Lusamine of this possibility.
In The Secret Princess!, the Aether Foundation began searching for Mohn after Gladion informed Lusamine of his findings. Lusamine came to realize that her children were still very interested in their father and went on to reveal his secret study inside the family's Melemele Island mansion and entrust it to their care for the time being. She and Hobbes also revealed a lot about Mohn's past as a Trainer. Lillie discovered her father's Z-Ring, and she later received permission from Hala to temporarily wield it. She also uncovered an inactive Shiny Magearna, which Mohn had planned to repair so it could be a friend for her, but he never managed to get it working before he disappeared. Lillie then found one of her father's journals tucked behind the Artificial Pokémon, which documented his notes on Magearna.
In Chasing Memories, Creating Dreams!, when Gladion located his Zoroark on Melemele Island, Zoroark created an illusion of a moment from Gladion's childhood involving Mohn. Gladion informed Mohn that the then-infant Lillie was crying, earning thanks from Mohn. Lusamine then entered the room with Lillie, and Mohn helped her to stop crying.
Mohn briefly appeared in a flashback in Final Rivals!. When Gladion sent Zoroark out during his battle with Ash in the Manalo Conference, he thought of Mohn and asked his father to give him strength.
In Dreams of the Sun and Moon!, Mohn appeared, again as a part of Zoroark's illusion, which recreated the day Lillie first learned how to walk as an infant.
Mohn appeared in a flashback in Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!, where he was seen in a photo.
Zoroark's Illusions revealed that Mohn was a family man who went out of his way to spoil his young children. He is also a meticulous researcher, as seen through his journal on Magearna and archived Aether Foundation documents.
This listing is of Mohn's known Pokémon in the anime:
| Zoroark is Mohn's only known Pokémon. It appeared during a flashback in The Secret Princess!, where it was seen battling Hala and his Hariyama. Zoroark was separated from Mohn when its Trainer disappeared into an Ultra Wormhole. Sometime after it ran away.
In Chasing Memories, Creating Dreams!, Gladion managed to find Zoroark on Poni Island and told it that Mohn was alive. He asked it to come with him to find Mohn, and Zoroark accepted. It is now under Gladion's care and housed in a Dusk Ball.
Zoroark's known moves are Night Daze and Shadow Claw, and its Ability is Illusion.

|Ryota Iwasaki
| This Shiny Magearna was a Pokémon that Mohn found and purchased at an antique store. He then stored it away in his secret study and planned on reviving it so it could play with Lillie, but he was never able to before his disappearance.
After learning of Magearna's existence in The Secret Princess!, Lillie went on to study Mohn's journals on Magearna. She fulfilled her father's dream and reactivated Magearna because of her raw emotions in Dreams of the Sun and Moon!.
None of Magearna's moves are known.

Full name: Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson
Date of birth: 3 April, 1998
Parents: Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe
Siblings: Prince Jackson, Blanket/Bigi Jackson
Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson has lived a life that's veered between sheltered and agonizingly exposed. She is a pure child of the 21st century, with her mashed-up hippie-punk fashion sense and boundary-free musical tastes.
But she is, even more so, her father's child. Paris is similar to Michael, in all of her strengths, and almost all of her weaknesses as well. She's very passionate. She is very emotional to the point where she can let emotion cloud her judgment.", says brother Prince. Paris has more than 50 tattoos, sneaking and nine of them are devoted to Michael Jackson, as her father brought her nothing but joy and she likes the reminders of this joy inked on her body.
In June 2013, drowning in depression and a drug addiction, Paris tried to kill herself at age 15 from self-hatred, low self-esteem, thinking that she couldn't do anything right, not thinking she was worthy of living anymore.
After her last suicide attempt, she spent sophomore year and half of junior year at a therapeutic school in Utah and reconnected with her biological mother Debbie Rowe, wom she has been supporting as Debbie was diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing chemo therapies. She also faced cyberbullying, and still struggles with cruel online comments.
Paris moved out of her grandma Katherine's house shortly after her 18th birthday, heading to the old Jackson family estate in Encino. She spends nearly every minute of each day with her boyfriend, Michael Snoddy, a 26-year-old drummer. Paris wants to earn her own money, and now that she's a legal adult, and embrace her other inheritance: celebrity. She is, for now, a model, an actress, a work in progress. Modeling, in particular, comes naturally, and she finds it therapeutic. She plays a few instruments, writes and sings songs, but isn't sure if she'll ever pursue a recording contract. Paris shares her father's heal-the-world impulses and sees fame as a means to draw attention to favored causes.
In 2018, Paris started to form a band with Gabriel Glenn called The Soundflowers who made their stage debut during Canyon Sessions on June 25th and August 11th. The Soundflowers are expected to release music very soon.

The majority of work for SI to date has focused on the in gallery kiosks. The next iteration of which are currently being installed in IWM North.
What we haven't really discussed yet, is the mobile and online elements to this project. We've been busy behind the scenes, designing, developing and snagging both the android and ios mobile applications as well as the social interpretation elements of the Website, which will go live very shortly.
SI has been ambitious from the start; and combining, and synchronising, in gallery, mobile and online is hard. But we're getting there!
The mobile applications work by scanning on of the numerous QR codes in IWM London and IWM North, once scanned visitors can access the objects story, and share stories of their own memories and experiences about War and objects in the IWM collections. Visitors can also create and share their own museum collection.
With the website we have added social interpretation elements to over 750,000 collection objects! That's quite a big deal (well we think so anyway). Visitors can curate and annotate your own unique collection of objects and then share them with friends. Visitors are also able to join the conversation, by adding comments to any item in the collection and read what other people have to say.
We'll update on the individual elements of the mobile and website once we've gone live.Read More

Part of Alto's TRUESONIC series, the TS115A is an 800W Class D powered loudspeaker with a 15" low-frequency transducer and 1" neodymium driver. It provides you with two mic/line combo inputs with independent volume controls and an XLR output for linking to other speakers. Their lightweight, trapezoidal cabinet makes it easy for you to use it as a traditional upright loudspeaker or as floor wedge monitor, and it's stand or pole-mountable as well as flyable. Other features include a Clip Limiter with red LED, Ground Lift switch, and a contour switch for increased EQ control.
Versatile Cabinet Design
All TRUESONIC 2-way speaker cabinets have been designed with versatility and longevity in mind. They feature a durable, lightweight polypropylene enclosure that is stand-mountable for weekend gigs and flyable for more permanent installations. What's more, they have a trapezoidal design which greatly decreases the resonance of the standing wave in the cabinet for a more true-and-exact sound reproduction. The TRUESONIC TS115A is ideal for musicians and DJs on the move and halls, malls, schools, houses of worship and more.
Total Transparency
The TRUESONIC Series was designed from the ground up to be the most transparent loudspeaker money can buy. Rigorous testing and thousands of hours of listening have gone into making sure that what you pump into a TRUESONIC speaker is exactly what you get out. Everything you see (and some things you don't) – from internal signal path and components used to the sculpted cabinet and meticulously designed waveguide – was developed in service of the principle of accurate, transparent sound.
Super Efficient Drivers
The drivers in the TRUESONIC TS112A are designed to make sure that virtually no energy is wasted. That translates to more of the power from the amplifier actually working to generate sound rather than heat, giving the speaker better real-world performance than other speakers with comparable published specifications. The TRUESONIC TS115A offers a 15" LF driver (2" voice coil) and a 1" HF neodymium driver.
Modern amplifier design
Every active TRUESONIC speaker benefits from the use of a Class D amplifier integrated into the cabinet. Class D amps are generally lighter than Class A and AB amplifier designs, and offer more than enough power to provide your performance with plenty of punch. The TRUESONIC TS112A delivers with 800 watts of power and offers a balanced combo jack (XLR/TRS) input with level control. Class D amplifiers are also highly efficient and run cooler than other kinds of amps so the amp doesn't have to work as hard to deliver your mix.
Hang 'em High
Optimal speaker placement can be challenging, especially if your speakers don't have what it takes to go anywhere. Whether you need to fly your speakers, polemount or use them as floor monitors, TRUESONIC speakers are ready for you. All TRUESONIC speakers feature standard 36mm pole mounting insets on the bottom. If you need to fly them, it's no problem. The TS115A comes with five rigging points. All these options make the TRUESONIC one remarkably venue-friendly speaker. You can use them anywhere you need them.
Just what you need
Whether you're performing at a coffeehouse, wedding, house of worship or other small- to medium-sized venue, the TRUESONIC TS115A is your best choice. For example, it's easy to get your TRUESONIC speakers to the gig thanks to their carrying handles and lightweight design. Once you're there you won't need to be a live sound engineer to figure out how to EQ the speakers thanks to the built-in Contour EQ switch that can help adjust for those situations where an EQ alternative is needed for recorded music playback. When you're connecting everything, the TRUESONIC's dual XLR/combo inputs make easy work of your setup and each speaker's independent level controls give you the flexibility to dial everything in your way in seconds.
Full metal grille
You can never be too safe around the stage. We know stuff happens that you just can't predict. Sometimes it's the flying drumstick, a falling mic stand or worse. Every TRUESONIC speaker comes with a complete front grille from top to bottom that protects not only your low-frequency driver, but your high-frequency driver as well. With TRUESONIC speakers, you get extra peace of mind knowing that whatever comes at your sound system, it's covered, literally.

|Patrohi armorial, 1437
Hungarian National Archives, Dl 50.529
LINK: http://mol.arcanum.hu/dldf/opt/a100516htm?v=pdf&a=start
In addition to their varied content and sometimes beautifully preserved seals, a number of these documents are true masterpieces of manuscript illumination. This is especially true of armorial letters, which usually include a depiction of the family's newly given coat of arms. The series of illuminated armorials started in the period of King Sigismund, and stretches right to the end of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary (later as well - but the coverage of this database goes up to 1526).
You can check out a few beautiful examples, if you carry out a search by serial numbers. You will be asked to install a small image-viewing software, and you'll have to click around until you get to the images. For example, check out these armorials: (Dl) 13.000; 50.521; 104.871; 105.029.
If you would like to see more, enter the search term "címereslevél" in the search box as "document type". This gave me 149 hits - many more armorials are preserved in various other archives not covered by this database.
I wouldn't call this a very user-friendly system, but with a bit of patience, the database can give you all the information these charters hold.

Aug. 10, 1933-June 29, 2013
Apple Valley, California
Submitted by Rob Thomas
Contact the submitter
Darlene Elaine (Buck, Thomas) Castleman, resident of Apple Valley, California, passed away at her home at Merrill Gardens Retirement Community on June 29 at the age of 79 from complications related to Parkinson?s disease.
Darlene Elaine Buck was born to Mary Caroline Marlow (Green) and Chester Buck on August 10th 1933 in San Jose, California. She grew up in Newark, California and graduated from Washington Union High School in Fremont, California in 1951. Darlene was a talented tap dancer and a bright student, receiving a college scholarship from the California Scholarship Federation. As a child, she loved to play along the shore of the San Francisco Bay and during the summer be on the beach at Catalina Island. As a teenager, she enjoyed dancing at the Newark Pavillion and socializing at the Cloverdale Creamery. After high school, Darlene married Robert George Thomas and they had three children, Cindy Lynette Thomas of Newport Beach, California, Sheila Annette Thomas of Eugene Oregon, and Robert Curtiss Thomas of Dillon, Montana. She chose the town of Pleasanton, California to raise her family and helped to build homes on Happy Valley Road and Oak Lane. She worked at the Pleasanton Elementary School food service and at Harvest Park Elementary School as the front office secretary. She was a devoted mother and supported her children in 4-H, Little League, band, and other school activities. She was a passionate advocate for the oak trees of Pleasanton, and helped to establish laws that resulted in their preservation. She taught her children by example to stand up to injustice, respect others and play by the rules. She was a passionate advocate for education, and was proud that all three of her children obtained graduate degrees.
After Darlene's children graduated from Amador Valley High School in Pleasanton, California, she married John Castleman, and they moved to the high desert of southern California, living for a time in the towns of Hesperia, Victorville and Apple Valley. During this time, Darlene obtained a college degree and a community college teaching certificate. She worked as an administrative secretary and taught business communication classes at Victor Valley College in Victorville, California, and she helped to run their educational extension program at George Air Force Base. She was a talented teacher and a respected member of the college community.
Darlene was preceded in death by her mother, father and brother, Warren Buck. She is survived by her three children, her cousins, Shirley Buschke and Adele Smith, her daughter-in-law, Anneliese Ripley of Dillon, Montana, and her two granddaughters, Abbey and Haley Thomas, also of Dillon. At Darlene?s request, there will be no memorial service, but she has returned to Pleasanton, the town that she loved.
