On December 17, PONY and Colette launch their new collaboration. A new version of the classic Topstar sneaker of PONY, renewed with the iconic blue color of the Parisian boutique- will be exclusively available @ the Colette store in Paris. The two brands both thrive on the unexpected, the funky and the new, which explains the material choices.
The sapphire blue trademark colour gets a reflective new look, which will make your shoes stand out in the crowd, but in the same time preserve their urban style. In addition, the laces will come in white or in a dotted version, featuring the Colette motif/ artwork which also decorates the packaging.
The two brands first held hands back in December 2011 while celebrating another great collaboration of PONY’s, the one with the Dee & Ricky brothers, which was held at Colette’s place in Paris. This year, the two brands are taking their collaboration to the next level by launching this limited edition collection. If you are passing through the streets of Paris, don’t miss the blazing window installation that will be prepared in order to celebrate this new collaboration.

1. One of my avocado seeds is making progress. The seed has split open and a root is emerging, as you can sort of see in the photos below.
2. I've discovered a great summer beer: Shiner Ruby Redbird. It bills itself as "the perfect summer beer," and I have to say that I agree. According to the label it is "Beer brewed with Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit juice and ginger." As I'm completely into all things grapefruit right now, and as beer that tastes a bit like ginger ale is surprisingly delicious, I'm sold.
And yes, that six pack is sitting on an old Wendy's table (remember the newspaper tops?), which my sister lovingly found for me at a flea market years ago for about $15. It's one of my favorite things. Plus, it's where I sit and eat lunch almost every day.
3. Since I tend to get questions about what the book club is reading, I thought I'd share our summer picks with you.
First, June's book is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
Next, July's book is Room by Emma Donoghue.
Third, August's book is Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda.
Fourth, September's book is Dog on It by Spencer Quinn.
If you have read any of these, I'd love to hear what you think about them. Otherwise, feel free to read along with us. (By the way, clicking on the book images above should take you to Amazon.com if you're interested in learning more about the books, reading reviews, or perhaps ordering any of them.)
4. Last but certainly not least, tomorrow is Friday, which means that I get to return here:
and do some more of this:
Just like Widespread Panic sang, ain't life grand?

Faith fortified by song is revelatory
Shimmering away in a blue, floor-length dress, Bishop Debra E. Gause, of the Holy Light Pentecostal Church in Poughkeepsie, burst into the ballroom, delighting the 200 people celebrating her 60th birthday.
Throughout the night, the legendary musicality of African-American speech spilled over into actual song. This was most evident when it came time for Gause to speak, and instead, she belted out a rousing, faith-filled version of her favorite hymn, “I Won’t Complain.”
Then, in a tone that echoed Moses commanding the Red Sea, Gause called for all the microphones in the room. She collected four microphones, which she immediately distributed to the audience to continue the hymn.
Without expectation or warning, the bishop and the casually chosen singers transformed the hotel ballroom into a holy place that rivaled any cathedral.
Gail Burger, a Presbyterian minister and interfaith advocate, sat next to me thunderstruck, confirming this miraculous unfolding of faith. The congregation’s courage was revealed in the singers’ refrain that God has been “good to me.”
Given African-American history, the hymn’s massive expression of gratitude only makes sense from the perspective of faith, and maybe only a faith fortified by such soulful song.
While avoiding organized religion, there is also a spiritual dimension to professor Richard Wilson’s music.
Wilson, celebrating his 75th birthday this weekend, is also marking his 50th year in the Department of Music at Vassar College.
He understands his teaching, piano performance and composing as a “unity.” Teaching composers such as Beethoven and Schubert reveals the thousands of “decisions” they made in each piece, the very details essential to writing and playing music.
Wilson starts his own compositions with a “terrifying” blank page, which he fills with ideas that come into his “mind and fingers” as he “noodles” with the piano.
And it works!
Still going strong, Wilson has completed more than 100 pieces ranging from orchestra and opera, to songs, chamber music and even arrangements for psalms. He has earned endless awards, and his works have been performed from New York and San Francisco to Berlin and Rome — and of course, Poughkeepsie.
While Wilson’s music is always serious, it’s also often unpredictably funny.
Just glance at the title of his opera, “Ethelred the Unready,” or songs like, “Miss Foggerty’s Cake” and “Transfigured Goat.”
This mirrors Wilson’s reputation as the only person who is consistently funny at Vassar faculty meetings. He also rarely goes two minutes in ordinary conversation without saying something ironic, wry or hilarious.
What makes Wilson so funny in music, public speech and private conversation is his alertness, hyper-alertness, to the anxiety built into human life. And much of his music is an incantation, almost a prayer, to ward off these anxieties for all of us.
So long live our music makers! Happy birthday to Bishop Gause and professor Wilson.

Run For The Roses Pie III
A pie filling made with nuts and chocolate, and flavored with bourbon. Serve warm with ice cream.
A pie filling made with nuts and chocolate, and flavored with bourbon. Serve warm with ice cream.
This pie just won me 1st prize in a pie bake-off with 50 other pies. Turned out great on my first try. Very easy to make and set up nicely. I used a few variations: add some spice with dashes of cinnamon and nutmeg; use dark chocolate chips for more intensity; and coffee liquore instead of bourbon. I know these variations may make it less "traditional" but this recipe overall is a genuine 1st Place Winner. Thanks, Judi!Read More

This, although tasty, isn't quite what I consider to be a traditional Derby Pie. Derby Pie is a little more moist and fudgy than this lighter version. (Almost a brownie texture) Walnuts are traditional, but I think pecans would have been better. (Just a matter of taste.) Keep it authentic and use a small-batch Kentucky Bourbon. (I used Woodford Reserve.) Make sure you serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean. Enjoy...and make sure to wear your flashy hat!
I have made this countless times. Added vanilla extract as well as quite a bit more bourbon. Also, used a whole package of chocolate chips. Made this the day before for a friend's birthday. Also, makes great tarts.
This recipe is great! I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I find it very hard to tell when it's done so sometimes it's over/under-done. The only ingredient alteration I make is adding a little extra bourbon and vanilla. After everyone loved the pie, I made these in bar form for a picnic: they turned out GREAT! For a 9x9 pan, I used 1.5 times the recipe. One circular pie crust still covers the bottom of the pan - I cut off the excess crust about 1/4" up the sides. Baked for 30-35 minutes. COOL COMPLETELY before you cut them into squares. Next time, I'll double the recipe and use a 9x13 pan.
Quite good, but not traditional, though it stands on it's own nicely. I used brown sugar for more depth in the pie and felt the walnuts were too strong of a nut for this recipe. Next time I'll use pecans and more bourbon as the taste was lost in this recipe. If you're looking for something quick and easy, this dessert could do in a pinch quite nicely. Thank you Judi!
I made this pie for my husband who is a chocolate chip cookie hound. He loved it! The only change I will make when I make it tomorrow for the Race is that I will substitute brown sugar for the granulated. A personal choice, as the granulated sugar alone seemed a bit lacking in "oomph". Otherwise, a luscious and decadent treat!
This recipe was great. I had been looking for this recipe for a while. The only thing I will do differently next time is add vanilla to the mixture.
From a girl who was born and raised in Louisville, KY, this a darn good rendition of a Derby favorite :) I've tried quite a few Derby Pie recipes and for how simple this is and how good it tastes, this is my new favorite! I don't do alcohol in my recipes, but I did add some pure vanilla as suggested. This was a HIT with family and friends and, most importantly, with me!
This recipe is wonderful and very easy! This pie is better than the same pie at a very exclusive restaurant in our town. I'd recommend making two and taking one to a friend!!!
This pie is absolutely one of my favorites. I have had something similar in local steak restaraunt but this tops it. I shouldn't give the kid friendly rating because we kept this one to ourselves. (Told the kids it had yukky stuff in it) Thanks for the recipe!
I didn't have any bourbon, so used kahlua liquer instead. Delicious!
What a great recipe. This improved on my mom's family recipe that she taught me years ago. I stuck with some of my own stuff though for some items: 1. used 1 teaspoon vanilla and no bourbon. 2. I used 1 egg yolk instead of 2 eggs for a more gooey pie. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Very good recipe - I used pecans instead of walnuts, and I found that in my (gas) oven it took about 45 minutes to bake. I actually made two of these pies, one using vanilla instead of bourbon, and discovered that both tasted equally good. Thanks for the recipe - it's definitely a keeper!
Let me preface my review by saying I have never had a Kentucky Derby Pie before. Therefore, I have nothing to compare this to or to know whether or not it is authentic. I also subbed vanilla for the bourbon since I was sending this to school for a social studies project on US regions. With that said, I thought it was very good! Like other reviewers said, it is reminiscient of a big chocolate chip cookie. Especially good warm.
Overall not bad, but I would recommend adding at least 1/2 cup bourbon because it gets lost in the chocolate.
Right, it's not like the original Derby pie...IT'S BETTER!!!!
Yummy, quick, and easy!
this is a tasty pie. it is on my kentucky derby dinner menu. easy enough, so i make 2 of them. they are rich but well worth it. bet on this one, it is a winner.
ok pie, as a ky gal i can say this one is not even CLOSE to derby pie :-(, so if that's what you are going for try something else
Goodness - where has this recipe been hiding? I absolutely love how easy and delicious this is. I agree with others - this is a great chocolate chip cookie pie and MUST be served warm from the oven with whipped cream or ice cream.
Delicious, though not what I anticipated. I thought it would be similar to a pecan pie, but it is more like a deep dish chocolate chip cookie. I baked one for Thanksgiving day and another one the following day since I had ingrediants. I used Southern Comfort instead of Bourbon and it was just fine. I put 2 tablespoons in the second one and it did not alter the consistency. I are with a few dollops of cool whip. This is a keeper! Fast and delicious!
Highly delicious! I have made it twice in one week - my coworkers were very impressed.
This pie was very good, but I wanted a little stronger bourbon flavor. I would probably double the amount of bourbon in the pie next time I make it.
I loved this recipe. It was so easy to make.I made it for my Kentucky Derby Party.Everyone ate it up.I am going to experiment with different chips and nuts.Great for a last minute treat.
It doesn't get any easier than this. It tasted like a giant chocolate chip, nut cookie! It was really good. We served it at room temp but I think next time I will try to plan on it still being slightly warm when served. Thanks for sharing!
This was devoured at last year's Derby Party! Easy to make and everyone loves it!
This was very good, although I wish it would have had a bit more pecan-pie texture and taste to it. I think I might try brown sugar next time.
Ever since I first made this as part of our Kentucky Derby celebration, I cannot stop making it. It was a huge hit, my family requests it constantly! What makes this so great is it is as easy to make as it is yummy. I use a whole cup of chips instead of the 3/4 indicated.
This is a great recipe - I made it for my inlaws over the Holidays and they loved it. I also used more Bourbon and Vanilla. This is a super easy dessert that tastes like it took forever - a keeper for us.
This is a great pie! I added 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and was generous with the walnuts, plus I doubled the chocolate chips (all bc I was using a 9 inch shell), but that was just my preference! I was wonderful as is! Thanks, Judi! This is a keeper! You made my Derby Party dessert a hit!
This was great! I made it exactly to the recipe and the only change I will make next time (yes, there will definitely be a next time) is to add more bourbon for a stronger taste. I also might try a different liquor in the future!
This is a great Kentucky Derby Pie. I did halve the Bourbon and it still had plenty of Bourbon flavor. Thanks for the recipe!
What a wonderful treat and great addition to our Kentucky Derby Party. I only thing I would suggest is to be sure to serve this pie with some ice cream or Cool Whip. Thanks for sharing. YUM!
I followed the recipe exactly, but it didn't stand out as a keeper for me. Sorry.
Awesome recipe! Quick, easy, and delicious!
Fabulous Derby Pie
This was really easy to make, but it wasn't very good. It set up and looked like the photo, but it just wasn't very good.
Ok, I guess it was my fault for not reading the whole recipe.....but, at the top of the recipe it says bake 1 hour. at the bottom it says bake 30 - 40 minutes? Didnt read all the way through. Checked it at 45 and looked done so I took it out. WAY over done. So, don't go by the baking time posted at the top of the recipe!
I made this the day before, for my ''Derby'' party..It's very easy to put together and tastes yummy.. I made my own pie crust..I added 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract instead of adding Bourbon.. I cooled & sliced the pie and put each piece in the microwave for about 30-35 seconds and topped it with Cool-Whip! This will definitely be a ''treat'' at every Derby Party from now on!! I got a lot of RAVES, and one lady wanted the recipe.. Everyone said it was like a warm chocolate chip cookie, & FANTASTIC ... Thanks Judi! UPDATE: I have one friend that loves this pie & asks if I made it each time she comes for dinner!! It's my favorite ''Go-To'' pie, even for Birthday Parties!! 8/21/16
I made this last night. It was easy enough, which is the good part. All the chocolate chips did not completely melt. It just does not have the consistency or a real, or regular, chocolate pie. I did not use the bourbon because I dont like the flavor of alcohol. The flavor was good though. I recommend taking the extra time and melting baking chocolate instead of using chips. I did not try this with this recipe though.
It was really good. I did take others advice and added a bit more bourbon and used brown sugar not white. I will increase the chocolate chips next time (just a bit).
delicious pie! a little too sweet, but much better than using karo syrup!
I can't believe it has been over ten years since I last made this! Remembered it and made it tonight. So delicious. Original review: this is good and easy, but really rich, so cut SMALL pieces
This pie was delicious and very easy to make. It was quite rich though, so be prepared with some whipped cream or ice cream. It baked up beautifully with a nice crust of cooked sugar on top. It was a perfect end for our Thanksgiving dinner (celebrated a bit early)!
I make this every year for our Kentucky Derby party. It is a favorite and so easy!!!
We used 1 cup chocolate chips, and 1 cup of sugar, also 2 tablespoons of bourbon. We will cut the extra sugar next time back to 3/4 cups.
This is so wonderfully easy to make but comes out tasting like a professional made it! Yummy!
Well this was delicious. My one caveat, don't do like I did and store the pie in the fridge until ready to serve. It gets hard as a rock when it's cold! Warmed back up, it was phenomenal. Lesson learned, next time it stays on the counter until I need it.
Super easy and delicious. Great pie for our Derby party but is now my husband's favorite pie anytime.
This was delicious. I followed the advice of some other reviewers and added 1 tsp of vanilla. I only used 2 tsp. of bourbon, because I didn't have much, and felt this was sufficient. Thanks for the recipe, I will definitely make this again!
Delicious! I made this for our Derby party, but made bars instead of a pie. So good!

Swimming is a great sport with lots of health benefits, but it can be challenging for people who have poor vision to fully enjoy the activity. You might have noticed that regular swimming goggles don’t work for you if you use glasses or contacts. Swimwear with a prescription is useful in this situation. Here are five reasons why you need prescription swimming goggles for your next swim:
- Prescription swimming goggles allow individuals with vision impairments to see clearly while swimming, eliminating the need for contacts or glasses that can be lost or damaged in the water. These goggles are designed with corrective lenses that match your prescription, so you can see clearly no matter what type of vision impairment you have.
- Prescription swimming goggles provide better underwater vision as they can be adjusted to the user’s specific prescription. This is especially important for those who swim in open water, where visibility can be limited. With the right prescription swimming goggles, you can see all the details in the water, making your swim more enjoyable.
- Prescription swimming goggles are designed to fit comfortably and securely on the face, reducing the risk of discomfort or irritation while swimming. This is important for swimmers who spend a lot of time in the water, as traditional goggles can cause discomfort and even headaches. With prescription swimming goggles, you can swim for longer periods without experiencing any discomfort.
- Some prescription swimming goggles have polarized lenses that reduce glare from the sun and water, making it easier to see while swimming outdoors. This is especially important for swimmers who swim in open water, where the sun’s glare can make it difficult to see. With polarized lenses, you can see clearly and enjoy your swim without squinting or straining your eyes.
- Prescription swimming goggles can improve a swimmer’s performance by allowing them to swim more quickly and comfortably due to improved vision and comfort. Although competitive swimmers need to be at the top of their game, recreational swimmers who want to improve their swimming skills can improve from this.
In conclusion, prescription swimming goggles are a must-have for anyone with vision impairments who wants to fully enjoy the swimming experience. They offer improved vision, increased comfort, reduced glare, and enhanced performance, making them the perfect accessory for your next swim. Swimfun offers a wide range of prescription swimming goggles to suit your needs. So, don’t wait any longer, get your prescription swimming goggles today and experience the difference!

Lyon is often called the capital city of gastronomy. For a long time, this was equated with sauces and a petit-bourgeois small town complex. But then the TGV high speed train linked Lyon with Paris and Marseille, Olympique de Lyon started to win League Championship after League Championship, and a new Lyon was suddenly filled with daring architecture, crowded cafés, and avant-garde exhibitions.
In general, shops are open from 10am to 7pm.
Lyon is one large World Heritage Site, with a big renaissance old town, Roman ruins, historic industrial districts and the regal 19th-century Presqu’île quarter. The city was founded 2,000 years ago at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône Rivers, and built its fortune on the silk trade. This industry furnished it with beautiful renaissance architecture in Vieux Lyon, where semi-hidden passageways called Traboules connect courtyards with the Saône.
You can set foot in one of the largest renaissance old quarters in Europe. In the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries Lyon’s silk industry was thriving, and rich merchant families from across France, Flanders, Germany and Italy settled in the city. They built sumptuous homes, in the gothic, Italian renaissance and French renaissance styles, and there are still 300 of these remaining in the districts of Saint-Jean, Saint-Georges and Saint-Paules. During the 16th century it was estimated that there were 180,000 looms in the city, and you can see the resourceful ways this industry combined with the fabric of the city in Vieux Lyon’s characteristic traboules.
In Vieux Lyon and La Croix-Rousse Saône are an architectural feature unique to this city: Traboules are delightful renaissance passageways, some 40 of which are open to the public, running beneath buildings in the direction of the Saône River. They gave the city’s silk workers direct access to riverbank, making it quick and easy to transport textiles, while also offering shelter from the elements. Nearly all of these passageways are part of residential properties, so it’s a good idea to go quietly. The best place to start your adventure is around Quai Fulchiron Rolland and Rue des Trois Maries.
This magnificent church, ever visible on the Fourvière hill to west of the city is one of a series of iconic hill-top churches built in major French cities in the late-19th century. The basilica is in the oldest part of the city, Lyon’s pilgrimage site and where several Roman sites have been discovered. Go inside to see the extravagant interiors and the Museum of Sacred Art, and to ascend the north tower for one of Lyon’s best photo ops. The church is the focus for the famous Fête des Lumières, which takes place at the start of December every year. This is in praise of the Virgin Mary, to whom Fourvière is dedicated, for protecting the city from the bubonic plague in the 17th century.
Parc de la Tête d’Or
A little way north of the centre is one of the largest urban parks in the country, with a zoo and France’s foremost botanical garden within its boundaries. If you’re around in spring then the international rose garden should be one of your first ports of call in the city. The botanical attractions are spectacular too, with more than 20,000 plant varieties and the most graceful 19th-century greenhouses you could hope to see, thick with the scent of chlorophyll. For families with kids the park is a must-do, thank to the African Plain, with zebras, lions and giraffes, and the expansive lake for epic pedal-boating voyages in summer.
A sight to admire from the outside, Rodez’ Episcopal Palace was one of the monuments that anchored the medieval city and is now the home of Aveyron’s General Council. This residence for the Bishop of Rodez originally joined with the cathedral and ramparts but had to be moved when the cathedral expanded in the 15th century. It had a turbulent time at its new location, and was destroyed in the French Wars of Religion. The entire complex was restored again in the 19th century, and the oldest remaining element is the Tour de Corbières, which dates to 1443. Pop into the courtyard for great vistas of the cathedral’s bell tower.
Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon
Housed in a former abbey from the 1600s, the Musée des Beaux-Arts is France’s largest fine art museum after the Louvre in Paris. There are 70 rooms here, with paintings from the 1300s to the 1900s, sculpture and displays of both Egyptian and Oriental art. You don’t need more than a passing knowledge to be impressed by the wealth of famous French and European artists on show: Degas, van Gogh, Renoir, Cézanne, El Greco, Canaletto, Picasso, Max Ernst and Francis Bacon, and that’s just an overview. The Antiquities department is a trove of some 600 Ancient Egyptian artefacts, including reliefs, busts, statuettes and sarcophagi, as well as monumental gates recovered from the Medamud temple.
Ancient Theatre of Fourvière
This monument is also high on the left bank of the Saône River. And 2,000 years after it was built it is still a performance venue during the Nuits de Fourvière drama festival every June and July. At its peak it would have held 10,000 spectators, but only the middle and lower terraces of the cavea remain. Where the seating has been lost though, you can see the fascinating substructure of the cavea, which continues far up the hillside. The theatre was rediscovered in the late-19th century and restored over the next 40 years. Artefacts found here and at the neighbouring Odeon are displayed at the Gallo-Roman museum, listed below.
Gallo-Roman Museum of Lyon-Fourvière Gallo-Roman Museum of Lyon-Fourvière
If Fourvière’s extensive Roman ruins leave you thirsty for more ancient history, this modern museum is on site to give you some background. The building deserves a mention, as it’s partly underground and has been dug from the hillside next to the roman theatre. Futuristic, bunker-like galleries are arranged around a spiralling concrete ramp. There’s a lot to get through at the museum, but one piece that you need to see is the Circus Games Mosaic, dating to the 2nd century and depicting a chariot race with staggering technical skill. There’s also the Gauilish Coligny Calendar, and the Lyon Tablet, transcribing a speech made by the Roman Emperor Claudius in the 1st century.
The city’s fabulous cathedral is a mostly gothic construction built between the 12th and 15th centuries. The majority of the original stained-glass windows are still here and date to the 1300s. They had been dismantled and packed away during the Second World War to save them from bomb damage. The most captivating are the north, south and west roses, as well as the apse’s lancet. The astronomical clock inside is nine metres tall and was installed in the 1300s. Under the main clock-face is an astrolabe, added in the 1600s, that can show the position of the earth, sun and moon. Above it are automated figures that put on a little show when the chimes are rung on the hour.
Anybody who goes to the cinema should be excited to pay homage to the Lumière brothers, who are held as the fathers of the movie-making art. The museum was set up by a descendant of Louis Lumière, who, working with August, helped invent the cinematograph, the first motion picture camera and projector. They also made more than a thousand films together, shown at the world’s first cinemas. The attraction is in Villa Lumière, a lovely art nouveau mansion built by the brothers’ father in 1899. In these elegant surrounds you can view many of their movies and check out the ingenious creations, like the cinematograph, that helped change entertainment forever.
Essentially Lyon’s city museum, this attraction is named after the sublime 16th-century renaissance palace that houses it, built by two Florentine brothers. In 30 rooms and across four floors there are some 80,000 items, dating between medieval times and the mid-19th century. Antique maps and sketches indicate how Lyon has changed and show some of the city’s landmarks being built. You’ll find out about the instrumental role the silk industry played in the city’s evolution in the 1500s and 1600s with the help of artefacts and documents, and can see the lavish lifestyles afforded by those who made their fortune here. Also part of the attraction is the Musée des Marionnettes, with 2,000 antique puppets.
Musée Miniature et Cinéma
Also In Vieux-Lyon, this museum is in the “Maison des Avocats”, a beautiful 17th-century World Heritage building five storeys in height and with a loggia. The collection is split in two: The main attraction is some 100 “hyper-realistic” miniature scenes. These have been made by the world’s best miniaturists, including the museum curator Dan Ohlmann, and possess such painstaking detail and craftsmanship that you’ll need minutes to see everything happening in each one. They recreate famous locations like Maxim’s Restaurant in Paris or everyday French scenes from days gone by. There’s also a cinema exhibition with more than 300 authentic props, artefacts and models relating to movies from the last 50 years.
Another reason Lyon demands to be explored is for its murals. There are around 100 large paintings on walls around the city, often in working-class neighbour and on social housing, so they can draw you to places you might not otherwise venture. There are some vital ones to see though: In États-Unis there’s an outdoor museum with 25 murals painted mostly in the 80s recounting the career of the architect Tony Garnier, who planned this district in the 20s. To get acquainted with Lyon’s main personalities there’s Fresque des Lyonnais, 24 historical figures and six contemporary people (two of whom have since passed) relevant to the city. Then there’s Lyon’s original fresco: The Canuts Mural, telling the history of the Croix-Rousse neighbourhood, and updated every ten years.
Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse
This food market is named after one of France’s culinary giants, in France’s capital of cuisine, so you can be sure of the quality of what’s inside. It’s a food-lover’s dream, a hand-picked assembly of the region’s best food merchants, selling charcuterie, cheese, meat, fruit and vegetables. There are also several proper restaurants in the complex, full of locals at lunch. So it’s a place to do your food shopping if you’re self-catered, get a delicious Lyonnaise meal and also buy regional specialities to take home. As with most French food markets, Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse is best visited in the morning, long before the stalls close down for lunch.
Lyonnaise Cuisine Lyonnaise potatoes
yon has more restaurants per capita than any other city in the country and for centuries has been lauded for the high-quality of its produce and the prestige of its cuisine. You can dig into traditional Lyonnaise cuisine at “bouchons”, typical restaurants , and the best of these (awarded the label, Authentique Bouchon Lyonnais) tend to be around Presqu’île. They prepare meals that would usually have been eaten by workers in times gone by, so are filling, rich and make use of parts of the body you might not usually consider: There’s marinated deep-fried tripe, usually served with a garlic and herb sauce. Andouilette, a sausage made from tripe, or gras double, tripe cooked with onions. Don’t worry; it’s not all tripe! Coq au vin is also a tradition here, as is Lyonnaise potatoes, which are sliced and pan-fried with onions and parsley.
Lyon for you
Originally the capital for the Gauls during the Roman Empire, Lyon has grown into a city that will provide anyone with plenty to do. The city is home to fine dining restaurants from world-famous chef Paul Bocuse, cinema museums from the pioneering Lumière brothers as well as ancient Roman theaters from as early as the year 19 AD. This list of things to do in Lyon holds activities and destinations that will entertain history buffs, foodies and even vintage car enthusiasts. With so many stunning attractions and fun activities, read on to help make sure you’re not walking past any hidden gems or historical landmarks win your next trip to Lyon.

Thomas Hardy’s last novel, Jude the Obscure , is undoubtedly his most thought provoking work, a fact which corresponds with the seriousness and depth with which Hardy explores and gropes with the very foundation and framework of human life in a world that insists on playing a heavy handed, and to great extent destructive, role in the manipulation of the individual’s destiny.
What aggravates the dilemma of human life in Jude the obscure is that Hardy substitutes a turbulent and disconnected setting for his traditionally stable agriculture and rural one.
This change has a profound effect on the psychology of the characters of the novel.
Richard Carpenter refers to this new atmosphere which penetrates in to the felling of the characters when he states that in Jude the Obscure.
Hardy turns away from agricultural setting and pastoral myth to restless world of cities and psychological insecurities.
The sense of psychological insecurity which the major characters suffer takes deeper roots due to the fact that customs and conventions sanctioned by society are being questioned and even challenged by these characters.
In the study of Thomas Hardy, Lawrence indicates that the characters of Hardy’s novel are shown to be struggling hard to come into being.
Lawrence’s statement applies perfectly well to the major characters of Jude the obscure, and this in turn makes meaningful their questioning and challenging of the norms of their society.
In other words These characters in their attempt to come to themselves, find out that they are hampered by fixed social norms, which they try to fight off.
The peculiar strength of this struggle makes them the most unconventional of all Hardy`s characters, and explains why Hardy once intended to call this novel the Recalcitrant s .

Twenty years after 15-year-old A-Trak became the youngest DJ to win the DMC World Championship, 12-year-old DJ RENA took the crown in London on Sunday.
The Japanese turntable beat Frenchman DJ Skillz and New Zealander and current DMC Online Champion DJ Spell who placed second and third, respectively. RENA’s win marks the second year running that a Japanese DJ has triumphed in the battle. DJ Yuto won in 2016.
The DMC World Supremacy title was secured by another one of their countrymen, DJ Yukichi, who beat DJ Dwells from the U.S. using real vinyl and no DVS system.
Rane were the main sponsors of the event, with RENA winning a unique gold SEVENTY-TWO mixer, and DJ Yukichi taking home a TWELVE turntable with a one-off gold vinyl disc.

Living with IBS
Up to 30 per cent of people will be affected by this common condition during their lifetime — but you won’t find awareness campaigns or fundraising drives tackling the problem. In fact, people would rather not talk about it at all.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS, is deemed a ‘syndrome,’ which means a group of symptoms rather than a disease. It’s considered a functional disorder, which means the bowel does not work as well as it normally would. Some of the most common symptoms of IBS include abdominal pain or discomfort — including cramping, bloating, gas, diarrhea and constipation. The problem can appear at any age, but is more common in women than in men. Symptoms can change over time, and even disappear during periods of remission only to return later on.
One of the main problems with IBS is that doctors aren’t exactly sure what causes it. The muscles and nerves in the bowel appear to be ultra sensitive in people who have IBS. This can cause the muscles to contract too much when you eat, causing cramping and diarrhea during the meal, or shortly after. There’s no test for it — rather, the syndrome is often diagnosed after other potential causes have been ruled out.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a whole lot of research done on IBS or finding effective treatments — not compared to the “big names” like cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Because symptoms vary from person to person, it can also be tricky to treat.
What you can do
It can be hard to accept the fact that there is no direct cure for IBS, but there are ways to examine what triggers the flare-ups. Here are some things you can do to cope with the condition:
Get enough fiber. One key nutrient that may actually help IBS sufferers is fiber. Fiber can be helpful because it improves how the intestines work. There are two types of fiber — soluble and insoluble.
Soluble fiber — the kind that dissolves in water to form a gel-like material — helps both diarrhea and constipation. Many foods contain soluble fiber such as apples, beans and citrus. Psyllium fiber, a natural vegetable fiber, is also a source of soluble fiber. It can be purchased in the form of a supplement such as Metamucil which can be added to water or other foods.
Insoluble fiber — the kind that doesn’t break down — can help with constipation by allowing material to move through your digestive system and also by adding bulk to your bowel movements. This type of fiber is found in whole grains, wheat bran and several vegetables like carrots and Brussels sprouts.
The best way to incorporate more fiber into your diet is to start slowly. If you introduce too much too quickly, it can worsen the stomach pains and cause bloating and gas. If this happens, just slow down your intake and let your body adapt before adding more.
Identify and avoid trigger foods. What many people may not realize is that foods are not the actual cause of IBS. However, there are certain foods that may make the condition worse — especially high-fat foods or caffeine. These two ‘triggers’ can cause your intestines to contract, causing severe cramping.
There isn’t a specific diet for IBS because everyone’s triggers are different. A good way to keep track of the foods that bother you is to keep a diary of what you eat and note which ones cause you problems. Pay attention to patterns, not isolated incidences because stress and other factors could be the culprits. Also, be sure that you don’t cut out foods simply because you have heard they may bother you — learn from your own experiences, not someone else’s.
If you notice that dairy products or wheat affect your symptoms, it’s time to go back to your doctor. A reaction to wheat or foods containing gluten could be a warning sign of celiac disease. Problems with dairy products could be due to lactose intolerance — the body’s inability to digest lactose, a naturally occurring sugar in dairy. In either case, changes in diet can bring significant relief.
Manage stress. There’s a brain-colon connection here. People who suffer from IBS often have sensitive colons, and stress can cause them to spasm and cause unpleasant symptoms. There are different ways to deal with stress such as exercise, meditation, getting enough sleep, going to counseling or simply talking to a friend. Try these different options so see which one is right for you.
Consider medications. For severe cases, your doctor may prescribe something to help with the cramping and bloating. These medications can also help to settle your stomach should you become stressed or eat a ‘trigger’ food. They also help to ease spasms in the colon.
However, experts advise against self-medicating with laxatives and medications for diarrhea because they can become habit forming. Talk to your family doctor to learn more about your options.
Try probiotics. Another option to discuss with your doctor is taking probiotic supplements. Some research has shown that they can help improve symptoms of IBS, though their effectiveness hasn’t yet been proven to everyone’s satisfaction. The role of probiotic-containing foods like yoghurt is even more controversial, and they can add significant sugars and other additives to the diet. (See Some germs do you good for more information.)
Talk about it. Some people are hesitant to talk to anyone about their stomach problems because it’s such a personal topic. Don’t be embarrassed — more people than you think are affected by the same problems. Besides, some conditions like food intolerances or ovarian cancer mimic IBS, so it’s important to make sure you get the right diagnosis and treatment.

The killers were supposed to be hanged on Sep 9.
The Tamil Nadu assembly adopted a resolution seeking clemency for the killers.
Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy reacting on the whole issue said, "The stay is inconsistent to the Supreme Court judgement in 1990."
"Stay can't be given if the President has given a go ahead for execution.This should be clarified in SC. There cannot be any pardon for anti-nationals. Attorney General should get the stay vacated.
"When a murder takes place, it's not a question of personal enmity but it is against the state," he added.
Earlier DMK Supremo M Karunanidhi pleaded to Congress President Sonia Gandhi to forgive the assassins keeping in mind the sentiments of the Tamils.
Karunanidhi also said that had Rajiv Gandhi been alive, he would have forgiven the convicts.
"Had young leader Rajiv Gandhi been alive today, that noble man would have definitely come forward to save the lives of Santhan, Perarivalan and Murugan, responding to the voice of true Tamils and in accordance with the golden saying of Anna, ''forget and forgive", Karunanidhi had said in a statement.
"If this is done, the entire Tamil race will extol such humanitarian action and they will be happy," he added.
Jayalalithaa, Chief Minister, Tamil Nadu on the issue said that she had no right to intervene on the orders given by President Prathiba Patil who had earlier rejected the mercy plea of the three convicts.
Various political parties also appealed for clemency for the three.

Heretic is a first-person shooter developed by Raven Software and published by id Software in 1994 for the PC and Mac.
The game was published by the prestigious American company id Software, responsible for several masterpieces such as Wolfenstein 3D (1992), Doom (1993), and Quake (1996). Moreover, this is the first installment of a saga that would receive three other sequels: Hexen: Beyond Heretic, Hexen II, and Heretic II.
The plot of the adventure, which is very forgotten in this type of title, is located in an apocalyptic world where three brothers, known as the snake riders, possessed the 7 kings in force and corrupted their armies. The Elves, on the other hand, are resistant to magic and opposed the rule of dictators and were labeled as heretics. So an elf named Corvus - the main character of the game - embarks on a quest of revenge against the snake riders and their army.
As a more fantastical clone of the Doom, Heretic shares many similarities in the way the game is played. First, the map is riddled with enemies, and there is hardly a moment to breathe, which generates frantic and accelerated gameplay. Also, this shooter gives the player overpowered weapons to sweep away all the enemies that come his way.
Despite the similarities to its contemporaries, Heretic differs from them in many ways. Among its additions is an inventory, where the player can save various items such as healing or upgrades and use them whenever he wants. Besides, apart from the weapons that are identical to the Doom but with a different design, this entry adds new ones to the roster, such as one that, when fired, takes you immediately to the beginning of the level.
The difficulty is quite high, despite the ease of the character in killing the enemies that come, a distraction can lead to several of them accumulating and pressing him to retreat, which in case of locking him into a wall is sure death. Also, this is one of the few titles of this style in which the ammunition is not enough for all the monsters, so one always has to look sideways at the number of bullets that he has.
The graphic part of the game is executed perfectly. The scenarios are drawn with a very well elaborated pixel art that doesn't lose the infernal and post-apocalyptic atmosphere that the title contains. The entry also has other exciting details, such as the constant contrast of the colors of the weapons and ammunition of the protagonist against the opaque colors that almost always surround the character. The game is usually played in closed environments, but when the adventure continues in an outdoor location, a sky is shown prominently in black and white.
Meanwhile, the audio stands out because of its sound effects. Feeding the violent gameplay that encourages players to get rid of their enemies, the game returns very pleasing sound effects audibly when you shoot them. Regarding weapons, a laugh track was added when grabbing a new gun that, when fired, the player is met with futuristic and non-invasive sounds to make him feel comfortable in holding the trigger button and clearing the map of any life form.
The title received mixed reviews, it never escaped from being the shadow of the Doom, and soon after, it was overshadowed by the appearance of the Quake. However, it stood out because of its excellent re-imagining and the fantastic and entertaining sci-fi turn it took.
The criticism given to it more than 20 years ago is tarnished by the retro game value the title has today, which brings it closer to its competitors and makes it worthy of being played. It's a great way to experience a game that's as fun as it is difficult, and one that will make you sad to end.

The preparations by Apple have started for the iPad 3 launches next week. Long rumored iPad 3 will finally be coming next week on 7th March 2012. We told you before that Apple had sent out media invitations with a tag line saying:
We have something you really have to see. And touch.
This for sure indicated that Apple will be unveiling their iPad 3 this year. There are a lot of things to expect from this media event by Apple. First thing is iPad 3, the second thing we expect is iOS 5.1, the third thing is Apple TV refreshment, and the fourth thing we can expect is demo of OS X Lion or some words on the new build. These all things will be uncovered on their respective time. It is too early to say anything.
Before we expect more or say anything more about this event, macstories have got some snapshots ready of Yerba Buena Centre of Arts in San Francisco. The snapshots of the Yerba shows that Apple has started to dress the Art Center for their Media Event on 7th of March 2012. It is also believed that the banners somewhat indicate about what is going to be revealed.
Till now we can only see one banner and it is hard to tell what Apple is planning to launch other than iPad 3. Don’t forget that the event shoots at 10:00 AM (PDT).

XE Market Analysis
The dollar maintained an easier tone after a moderate rally across European equity markets boosted risk appetite. A 0.8% rebound in China's SSEC helped sentiment, though EUR and Cable also benefited on yesterday's positive performance. JPY was stable as excessive speculative positioning weighed on USD-JPY and it tripped stops under 82.00. EUR-CHF was a big mover for the second consecutive session after Credit Suisse announced that it will charge up to 1% on CHF deposits, which fueled unwinding of speculative positioning and it reached 1.2145 highs. In the U.S. a quiet calendar will leave the focus on U.S. fiscal cliff negotiations, while in Canada the BoC are expected to leave rates on hold at 1%.[EUR, USD]
EUR-USD was underpinned throughout. Model fund and real money demand went through in early Europe to force a move out of 1.3050 to the 1.3080 area. Option related selling capped initially, but another round of demand from 1.3060 kept it underpinned after carving out an intra-day high of 1.3085. Firmer European stocks have kept the dollar on the backfoot, while there are reports of Asian central bank reserve diversification, which should leave risk on 1.3100 barriers. Highs from mid-October lie between 1.3130 and 1.3140 if risk appetite improves further in the U.S. today. However, a quiet U.S. calendar will leave the focus on U.S. fiscal cliff negotiations, which are likely to continue right to the year-end deadline.[USD, JPY]
USD-JPY traded on the heavier side after it triggered stops through 82.00 in early Europe as excessive positioning and large option expiries weighed. Follow through selling should remain limited due to bids to 81.70, as well as BoJ policy risk, though the upside is looking more limited now after it failed to clear 83.00 last week. Good size strikes are rolling off at 82.50, 82.35 and 82.00. Large 81.00 and 80.00 maturities roll off and are linked to RKOs at 82.85 to 83.50, which could reduce some of the supply currently noted from 82.50. Option desks anticipate potential USD-JPY supply after the N.Y. options cut today, though downside momentum will remain limited while support between 81.65 and 81.45 holds.[GBP, USD]
Cable continued to trade on the front foot despite the U.K. construction PMI miss. The November reading moved back into contractionally territory, but Cable was unmoved around session highs close to 1.6120. The pick up in European stocks has been the catalyst for dollar selling pressure on upticks, while Cable's break over 1.6100 on Monday reinforced upside risk. Progress from here may slow due to hedging activity around 1.6125-30 and oustanding option barriers at 1.6150. EUR-GBP flows have been supportive, with corporate selling picking up since the start of the week from 0.8120-30.[USD, CHF]
EUR-CHF cleared 1.2100-20 for the first time in six weeks amid local name demand following yesterday's decision to charge negative rates on depos by one of Switzerland's largest banks. The swissy move today is speculative in nature in anticipation that capital inflows will drop off, though the improved tone in the eurozone has also added traction. Eurozone bond markets are in much better shape and this has helped to shore up the EUR downside over the last week. USD-CHF has also been stable despite last week's bearish break lower. After moving into 0.9250 it reached levels, where buyers saw good risk-reward. More support is tipped at 0.9230 and into 0.9200-10. Offers lie from 0.9300 ahead of short term buy stops.[USD, CAD]
USD-CAD headed back over 0.9950 after risk appetite soured on poor U.S. ISM data and the U.S. fiscal cliff impasse. Overall, USD-CAD remains a range trade and we see little chance of a break of range ahead of the North American open as the focus is now on the BoC policy announcement. Bids are noted from 0.9900 and below and offers are tipped from the 0.9960 area. The BoC are expected to leave rates at 1% and maintain its language regarding eventual withdrawal of stimulus that was seen in September.

"I lost my job and with the packet I received, finding new employment was not easy. I had mouths to feed and a mortgage to pay.

The person who helped me had experience with grief and related to my problem. Today, I have another job, and we are making ends meet."
- Becky Knox (West Jacksonville)
At What Stage of Grief Are You Now?
Grief affects people differently. Some people live in denial at first but eventually accept their loss. At the same time, other people move back and forth between anger, regret, and sadness. Still, widely recognized stages of grief exist and include:
- First comes denial as you struggle to accept your loss and deny the reality.
- Then comes anger as you discover a family member passed on or you lost your job. Hence, you feel anger towards everyone trying to help.
- Next, you deal with bargaining, thinking of if only you should have. These are only a few phrases you might mutter at this stage. Finally, you regret what you did or did not say to a loved one.
- Another stage can occur if you do not see a counselor; this grief process leads to depression. Again, you feel desperate and hopeless and need all the support you can get at this stage.
- Lastly, you reach the acceptance stage, where you accept the loss of the loved one or job, knowing you need to move on.
Still, every person's experience of grief is different. You may go through these stages or only experience one or two. Yet, the essential thing is to find someone you trust to share those feelings with. Then, with a grief counselor, you can find a healthy life balance again.

With the Williams team having lost its last ‘Nico’ (Rosberg) to Mercedes GP after four years’ service with the team, the team is now focused on not repeating the same mistake with its latest ‘Nico’ (Hülkenberg).
Hülkenberg also blotted his copy book with a serous tank-slapper spin in the opening laps of the race, dropping him well down the field after he pitted for fresh tyres.
In spite of his less-than-auspicious debut, the team is understandably still keen to retain its latest signing.
Speaking with Bild Autosport, team owner Sir Frank Williams said: "Nico is our big star.
"He has won every other series that he has done, and the only other driver to have done this is Lewis Hamilton. That says everything.”
Sir Frank moved quickly to dismiss recent comments by Hülkenberg’s manager, Willi Weber, who hinted that his young protégé would use his stint at Williams to position himself for a berth at Ferrari or McLaren.
"It is up to me that they don’t snatch him away," said Williams. "I found it very unprofessional that Weber is saying he (Hülkenberg) will be with Ferrari in 2013.”
“Anyway, I hope Nico is with us for a very long time,” he continued. "I have put an experienced driver – Rubens – by his side, so that he can learn as much as possible.”

I’ll be playing again at the Vancouver Mini Maker Faire on Sunday June 8th at 2pm, only this time I’ll be using my Elektron Octatrack. I’ve been working hard exporting, sequencing, and reworking Sonidos de Cuba so that I can perform it live with this amazing device. At first I was trying to remake the songs close to how they sound on the album, but I kept encountering happy accidents and decided to let go and allow the album to evolve into a new form. Now some parts sound similar, but others sound completely different. It’s allowed me to get excited about the music again as I had grown a little tired of it after hearing so much of it. I’m using the Octatrack to sequence my MFB Kraftzwerg and Arturia Microbrute and as an effects unit for my Electro-Lobotomy Sonic Forest and Trumpet. It should be fun so I hope to see you there! The Maker Faire is a really great inspiring event so I highly recommend checking it out even if you can’t make my performance. If I have time I may even play one of the songs off my next album featuring recordings from Thailand along with my Manastone Hank Drum. More info at: http://makerfaire.ca
Speaking of my Hank Drum, here’s a little video I shot while on Galiano Island. I found an idyllic mossy patch and played a quick jam on each side for an exclusive audience of my camera operating wife, Macy the golden retriever, and an eagle and some other birds and insects. It was filmed on iPhone, but the audio was recorded with my Zoom H4N and a Rode NTG3. Enjoy!
The first project I took on to learn the Octatrack was a remix competition put out by Novation. It provided a good means to play with the effects, sampling methods, and workflow of the device. The track is basically a live jam on the unit recorded straight into Pro Tools with some minor mastering applied afterwards.
Lastly I’ve taken on a gig mixing and mastering a pop album. I won’t give too many details yet, but it’s a really fun catchy guitar synth pop band and I think it’s going to turn out great!

Chief of the Defence Force chairs new committee with Indonesia
6 April 2013
The Chief of the Defence Force, General David Hurley has attended the inaugural High Level Committee meeting with his Indonesian counterpart, Admiral Agus Suhartono.
General Hurley and Admiral Suhartono co-chaired the military-to-military discussions in Jakarta this week. The strategic level dialogue focused on the bilateral Defence relationship.
The economic power shift towards the Indo-Pacific region provides Australia and Indonesia with a prime opportunity to build on our existing Defence relationship and strengthen our strategic partnership," General Hurley said.
"The Defence Chiefs also participated in the 2+2 Foreign and Defence Ministers’ Meeting with Ministers Carr and Smith and their Indonesian counterparts, Ministers Natalegawa and Purnomo."
During the three day visit General Hurley addressed the Indonesian Air Force Staff College (SESKO-AU) where he told students single service engagement was at an all time high.
"Our Air Force relationship reached a pinnacle mid last year when Indonesian Sukhoi jets participated in Exercise PITCH BLACK over northern Australia.
"The multilateral fighter exercise was the first time the Sukhoi jets had deployed outside Indonesia," General Hurley said.
The fighter jets will conduct a joint Exercise ELANG AUSINDO later this year.
In 2012, the Indonesian and Australian Air Forces conducted bilateral maritime transport and surveillance exercises RAJAWALI AUSINDO and ALBATROSS AUSINDO.

Leukemias are a diverse collection of hematopoietic cancers with limited chemotherapeutic treatment options. Patients unsuitable or unable for bone marrow transplantation have a dismal prognosis. Although previous studies have shown that there are only a limited number of potential driver mutations (3-8) per leukemia, there is an extensive heterogeneity of subtypes of disease. Using optical mapping with the Saphyr genome imaging system we confirm what other laboratories have found; that leukemias have additionally approximately 30-70 genomic structural variants per patient. This suggests that these SVs could ascribe the observed heterogeneity and could be responsible for individual pathogenesis of disease. Furthermore, we show that of many these SVs involve genes with functions associated with cellular processes relevant to cancer. Whilst known SVs, such asBCR-ABLtranslocations, are readily detected, multiple novel variants are also uncovered by Saphyr. Here we demonstrate the utility of this technique to uncover potential driver SV events and provide examples of such, some of which are associated with sensitivity and resistance to chemotherapeutics, including the standard of care drug Idarubicin (Idamycin). Finally, optical genome mapping shows 100% concordance with extant cytogenetic analyses, yet with a more streamlined methodology, a greater resolution, and higher sensitivity of detection.

Jamie Noble Frier is a digital artist based in Sussex, England. Specialising in fantasy and sci-fi art, Jamie produced artwork for multiple industries including literature, board games, video games and music. You might remember his fantastic series of seasonal horror cards, which we featured in our Christmas magazine.
Jamie has recently worked on several horror related projects, creating covers for a selection of dark novels. Below, he shares his thoughts on each of the covers, and takes us behind the creation of artwork for horror books.
S.C. Parris: The Dark World Series
S.C. Parris is the author of The Dark World series (Permuted Press, 2016), and attends University on Long Island, NY.
The Dark World series is an epic dark fantasy hexalogy (6-book series) set in 17th Century, London England, where Vampire, Lycan, and other mythical Creatures live and war.
They are available at Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and wherever books are sold.
From the artist: “I’ve worked with S.C. Parris on several world building pieces for her vampire series, including these two portraits. I was given some character descriptions, both physical and mental, which was great to get a feel for the expressions they should be showing. Although very different, with Eleanor looking sultry, and Xavier looking more serious, both give off a “don’t mess with me unless you want to be a snack” vibe. I really like the the colour palettes for these, the blueish hue in the background of Eleanor really brings out the slightly deceased look of her skin!”
Dave Farmer: The Range, The Bloodwalker Legacy
Author Dave Farmer describes himself; “By day I’m a mild-mannered HR advisor, but by night I seek adventure and excitement as I craft “what-if” stories.”
“Book description – ‘Set in England, against an apocalyptic background, the central theme of The Range is of friendship and courage.'”
You can find The Range on Amazon.
From the artist: “Dave’s brief was a lot of fun to work with. He wanted to the feeling of forlorn hope, as the infected overrun the bastion our heroes of created. The use of light in this piece really makes it for me. The feeling of the infected rushing through the headlights gives an added desperate feeling, and the main character is highlighted by her silhouette against the moonlight. Adding the infected characters at the foreground gave really nice contrasting tones to push the depth but also allowed me to get a bit creative with their savage expressions!”
Judy Teel: The Dunn In series
Judy Teel is an Amazon best selling fiction author writing in the dystopian urban fantasy genre. The Dunn In series is made up of thriller/mystery novels set in the paranormal dystopian world of Shifty Magic.
‘What happens when an inter-dimensional being is downgraded to human and has to pay for his transgressions by secretly solving paranormal crimes? Brushes with death, unapologetic law breaking, and frequent bouts of crankiness of course!’
Dunn Cursed is the first book in this new series and will be out in early 2018.
From the artist: “Judy gave me the awesome job of designing a creature which is described as “terrifying”. As the Dunn In series is set in a dystopian mystery-steampunk kind of world, I wanted it to seem like the kind of Victorian version of Godzilla, but instead of all out destruction, it stalks the streets at night dimly lit by the moon’s haze. I listened to a lot of HP Lovecraft audiobooks while painting this, while at the same time playing the board game Eldritch Horror across several evenings. I feel like that vibe came across in the eerie greens of the piece, and the gargantuan nature of the creature.”

Bushkill Township supervisors have eliminated a contribution to the Nazareth Area Memorial Library from the township's proposed 1986 budget.
The cut was made during last week's supervisors meeting. Voting in favor of the cut were William Morman, Clifford Bonney and Warren Fehr. Voting against it were Jane Gilbert and Joseph DiGerlando.
The budget had earmarked $12,000 for the library, up from the $10,000 it contributed in 1985. The library had been asking for $13,500 from Bushkill Township for 1986.
Pro-cut supervisors expressed concern about uncertainties with the township's financial future.
The community will be affected by a decision by the Nazareth Area School District to take half of thereal estate transfer taxes now collected wholly by municipalities in the district. There also have been statements of concern about anticipated reductions in federal revenue-sharing funds that Bushkill Township and other municipalities have received.
"It seems the fairest way," said Morman of the library cut. "Not ev- eryone belongs to the library."
He expressed hope the township would examine ways of keeping residents in the library system, possibly through partial reimbursement of their membership dues.
Library officials say they have no obligation to provide Bushkill Township residents with services if the supervisors do not contribute library membership fees in 1986.
Officials in Nazareth and in Upper Nazareth and Lower Nazareth townships have agreed to contribute library dues in 1986.
Bushkill supervisors expect to act on their budget Dec. 30. DiGerlando said he will try to seek replacement of the cut library funds, but added he apparently does not have the necessary support on the board.
The supervisors must use the budget as passed for the first three months of 1986, DiGerlando said. After that, it can be changed, he said. He mentioned the possibility of residents putting the matter to a vote via a referendum in the May election.

If you have defeated an enemy with the Capture/Kidnap skill, they are held in your prison for you to persuade to join your side and fight for your cause. You can try to persuade them to join you at no cost, or bribe them with resources to try to speed up the process. Eventually, they will join you! Or, you can release them if you get tired of trying. Turncoat units function much like MyCastle recruited units and Einherjar units: They cannot build support levels with any units. Higher level prisons allow you to hold more prisoners.
One fun use of prison units is as cannon fodder, especially if you’re playing on higher difficulties on Classic mode. Also, some of the prison units, such as the Spear Fighter, are real gems to obtain in their respective games where you can’t get that class otherwise (in this case, Conquest). If you miss out on a prison unit in the storyline, the DLC Museum Melee has all of them return as minibosses so you can capture them there.
In Conquest, Niles has the Kidnap skill. In Birthright, Orochi has the Capture skill. You get access to both characters in Revelations. So if you want prison units, better make sure you invest in either unit.
