Howdy, friends! I thought I’d use today’s post to fill you in on life since I posted a What’s the Tea a couple months ago.
First of all, where did summer go? LIke me, did you have a lot you wanted to accomplish, but only checked a few things off your list?
Thankfully, despite not doing everything I planned, I did have a fulfilling summer. I was back in St. Marys for several weekends to celebrate Independence Day, our family reunion, and my own birthday. I’ve always enjoyed spending these times with people I love so it’s great being able to hop in my car and scoot back when needed. The three-hour drive seems to fly by.
Also, an update on my self-watering planters for those who’ve asked. They’ve been amazing. In case you’re new to this conversation, I wanted planters for my St. Marys’ house that would take care of themselves when I’m not there. My friends at Grandin Road and Frontgate were kind enough to supply me with these two planters (here and here), and I couldn’t be more pleased with the planters.
They are hollow and hold several gallons of water. I need to add water every 2-3 weeks which works perfectly with my visits home. So if you’re in a similar situation, or just want potted plants without the daily watering, I highly recommend these guys.
In July, I took a trip to Texas with a group of blogger friends. We visited Round Top, Texas for a short retreat. With a population of 90. it’s the most magical little place. Twice a year there is a huge flea market/antique festival that draws thousands. It’s a wonderful spot to visit (even if you’re not antiquing). We stayed at The Vintage Round Top which I highly recommend.
You might remember that my brother visited me in Pittsburgh this summer. (He stayed overnight, and I made blueberry muffins for breakfast.) Well, this past weekend, my Mom came down to see my new place. I gave her a tour of my neighborhood, plus we went shopping, visited a flea market, and ate at a few restaurants I’ve been wanting to try. It was a good to spend time with her.
Sidenote: I’ve been trying to share some of my big and not-so-big adventures on Instagram Stories, so If you want to follow along there, I would love to have you. It’s a great place to connect. Also, if you’re not part of the IBC Mailing List, you can sign up here. I’ve been sending out a fun weekly newsletter with a special note and links to content to help inspire your cooking, decorating, and entertaining adventures.
Since I brought up Pittsburgh, I assume many of you are wondering how this new adventure has been treating me – if the move has been a good one. I will probably save deeper thoughts on this topic for a dedicated post, but I don’t want to leave you hanging. To sum up my feelings and thoughts about my current state, I’d say, “Treading water, but happy to be in the pool.”
I’ve officially been here three months (but closer to two as family happenings kept me in St. Marys for a bit). I had grand expectations and assumed that I would have tons of friends, be involved in many activities, go on magical dates, and be living my best life in no time. But that just hasn’t been the case. Things are taking a little longer than I had hoped, and mostly I have my own fears and insecurities to blame.
But with that said, I’m still excited to be here and happy I took the leap. I definitely have been enjoying the city. And I’m still crazy committed to putting myself out there and finding the things, places, and people that bring me joy. I hope that my feet are a more firmly planted in the not-too-distant future.
Again, I’ll try to explain more in another post … if you’re interested.
A few more things …
I started watching The Handmaid’s Tale and can’t recommend it enough. It’s not a “happy” show by any means, but it does have some moments of heart and courage. The art and cinematography are stunning.
My blogging pal, Courtney of Pizzazzerie just released her latest entertaining book, and it is stunning. If you like hosting parties or want to start hosting them, you need this book. Check it out here.
I’ve recently been asked by Amazon to curate my own IBC shop on their site. You can check out and shop my Amazon favorites here. I’ll be updating them frequently, so check back often.
Anyone else super excited about the new Kesha album? I won’t say I love all the tracks, but I do have a few tunes on repeat.
I’ve recently discovered the joy that is Justin’s Honey Almond Butter and can’t seem to get enough. Also, Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend is delicious on everything.
Finally, in case you missed it, Inspired by Charm is a finalist for Best Style & Design Blog in the 2017 Saveur Blog Awards! I am so grateful for the nomination.
To help, please cast your vote for Inspired By Charm. You can vote once a day from now through Wednesday, September 6. Thank you so much! Please VOTE HERE.
All righty, I’m sure I’m forgetting a ton, but there you have it. Feel free to keep the conversation going in the comments or ask some questions, and I’ll do my best to answer. Have a great week!

Thompson Enamel supplies 169 non-leaded enamels for metalsmiths and enamelists. I have created samples of 167 of them and ran each of them through the laser cutter to test which colors cut and to what degree do they cut. I am working with a student from the Material Science department here at UNT to further look at the characteristics of the enamel to determine any chemicals that may be present in each of the samples and if they may be attributed to the clarity of the cut.
Each enamel sample is 2in x 1in and coated on both sides with enamel. The front is the color I cut and the back is for stability and to deter chipping. I lay a line of samples across the top of the laser cutter bed and run a file across the surface. Each samples needs to be covered with wet paper in order for the laser to penetrate the surface and not refract back into itself (since glass is glossy and reflective).
Currently I am organizing them by 4 categories (1-Cuts Perfect, 2-Cuts Well, 3-Cuts Unsuccessful, 4-Does Not Cut) as well as collaborating with the student from the Materials Science department for a more in depth scientific look at the enamel.

In the rapidly evolving world of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, staying up to date with the latest news and developments is crucial. Press releases play a vital role in disseminating these updates, but how do you ensure your crypto press release reaches the right audience? In this blog post, we’ll explore the top crypto press release distribution services of this year, their unique features, and tips on crafting effective press releases to maximize your reach and influence.
Crypto press release distribution services provide specialized solutions to optimize PR campaigns and reach the intended audience.
Evaluate various aspects of a crypto press release service such as network reach, pricing, reputation & customer reviews before making an informed decision.
Maximize success by focusing on timing & frequency, building media relationships and monitoring & measuring results for future outcomes.
Understanding Crypto Press Release Distribution
For decades, press releases have been an integral part of public relations, and their relevance in the crypto industry has escalated. As blockchain and cryptocurrency projects gain momentum, it’s vital for businesses to communicate their announcements effectively to their intended audience. Crypto press release distribution services are specifically designed to cater to this need, offering tailored distribution across various blockchain and crypto websites, news outlets, and search engines.
Specialized services like these offer automatic press release distribution across an extensive network of crypto-focused media outlets, assisting businesses in optimizing their PR campaign spend through targeted audience reach.
Coinscribble, for example, guarantees 100% coverage based on campaign spend, including visibility on Google News. Clients also benefit from comprehensive analytics and distribution reports, such as those offered by BlockchainPRDistribution.IO, allowing them to measure the impact of their press releases and make informed decisions about their PR strategy.
The Role of Press Releases in the Crypto Space
In the crypto space, press releases function as a pivotal communication tool, enabling businesses to disseminate key updates, collaborations, and achievements to their target audience, investors, and stakeholders. Keeping everyone informed of the latest developments is vital in the dynamic world of blockchain technology to uphold credibility and trust.
Two types of blockchain press release distribution services are available: newswires and PR outreach services. Newswires enable quick and efficient distribution of press releases to a wide range of potential publishers, although the distribution is less focused, and outcomes can vary significantly. On the other hand, PR outreach services assist companies in identifying the most appropriate media outlets to contact and in crafting an effective pitch.
Including relevant keywords and publishing press releases through various channels can help a company improve its online visibility. This results in higher search engine ranking for its website and thus more visitors to the site.
How Crypto Press Release Distribution Works
A crypto press release distribution service acts as a platform that enables Web3 marketing teams to efficiently and economically distribute their press releases to various industry-related outlets expeditiously. By utilizing these services, businesses can access a vast network of journalists and media outlets, ensuring their press releases receive the maximum exposure possible.
The pricing of crypto press release distribution services depends on the number and caliber of websites carrying the news. The estimated cost of issuing a crypto press release ranges from $250 to $25,000.
When choosing a distribution service, conducting a thorough assessment of each option, reviewing customer feedback, and weighing the pros and cons are essential steps to secure optimal exposure and value.
Evaluating Crypto Press Release Distribution Services
Before opting for a crypto press release distribution service, businesses should evaluate various aspects, including the service’s network and reach, pricing and packages, as well as reputation and customer reviews. This evaluation process ensures that the chosen service not only meets the company’s specific needs but also provides the best possible value for their investment.
By carefully comparing the available options and considering factors such as:
track record of output
Businesses can make an informed decision and select the most suitable crypto press release distribution service for their needs.
Network and Reach
One of the most critical factors to consider when selecting a crypto press release distribution service is its network and reach. A service with an extensive network of journalists and media outlets can offer more comprehensive coverage, increasing the likelihood of your press release being picked up by relevant news sites.
Services such as BusinessWire and PR Newswire offer extensive coverage across thousands of websites and media outlets, ensuring that your press release reaches the widest possible audience. In addition, these services provide various reporting options, allowing you to effectively measure the impact of your press releases and make
informed decisions about your PR strategy.
Crypto-specific press release services services like Coinscribble offer more industry-specific networks of media.
Pricing and Packages
When evaluating crypto press release distribution services, one must also take into account the pricing and packages. Different services offer a range of pricing options and packages, with some providing basic packages with limited distribution and others offering more comprehensive packages with expanded reach and additional features.
For a sample of pricing: see Coinscribble’s pricing model below…
Comparing the pricing and packages offered by various distribution services is key to ensure that you secure the best value that suits your needs. Services that provide full coverage and a wide range of distribution options may be more expensive, but they can offer a better return on investment by ensuring that your press release reaches the desired audience and gains maximum exposure. A well-prepared distribution report can help you evaluate the effectiveness of these services.
Reputation and Customer Reviews
When selecting a crypto press release distribution service, the service’s reputation and customer reviews are also a vital aspect to take into account. A service with a strong reputation and positive customer reviews is more likely to provide reliable and effective results.
To assess the reputation and customer reviews of a distribution service, you can examine customer reviews, ratings, and feedback on the service’s website, as well as reviews from third-party websites. For example, customers have praised Coinscribble for its prompt turnaround time and attentive customer service, while BlockchainPRDistribution.IO has been commended for its comprehensive analytics and reporting.
Investing time in researching and evaluating the reputation and customer reviews of various services aids in making an informed decision and selecting the most suitable crypto press release distribution service for your requirements.

What do you think about nudity? Are you offended by women who display their naked bodies, or do you perceive nudity as a natural part of life? And what do you think about an exhibition of naked women?
Following the first exhibition in Spring 2017, VOAYER organizers have opened a permanent space, where gallery goers can see, touch and photograph real-life nudes on a daily basis. The faces of the naked models at the exhibition are often covered with masks. Some of them wear leather dog-collars.
“Nudity is today more common in the online world than in reality,” the official site states. “That’s why VOAYER’s sole and essential goal is to provide an exciting real-life experience.”
Visitors to the show must follow strict rules. They are allowed to take pictures, but must not use video-cameras.
VOAYER Gallery opened on the fourth floor of Dum Mody on Wenceslas Square last week. Closed on Mondays, it is open daily from 11:30-21:30.

Tree Surgeons Ipswich
Ipswich Tree Surgeons (IP1): You might think that you won't ever need the assistance of a tree surgeon, however if you've got sizeable trees in your garden in Ipswich, you must think again. If work ever needs doing on those trees, either for cosmetic or for safety reasons, you'll have to call in an expert. You may be tempted to address the problem yourself, however that would be a bad idea and you might even harm yourself and wind up in hospital.
There might be many reasons why you need to contact a tree surgeon, therefore it will be helpful to run through some of them now. Ipswich tree surgeons don't just take care of hazardous trees that could fall onto a structure or road, like you might have noticed during gales. They additionally accomplish stuff like inspecting trees for disease or damage so that such issues are tackled before they get worse, forming tree management or maintenance plans to keep your trees in good condition, thinning or reducing trees to allow more light into the garden and eliminating old tree stumps which are causing annoyance.
It is not just because of safety issues that you must not do your own tree care work, there are also inspections and checks which need to be done. Your trees may be subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TOP) or you might live within a Conservation Area, both of which will influence what can be done to your trees. An accredited tree surgeon will assist you with all of this stuff and should additionally be associated with the Arboricultural Association, to offer you assurance concerning the work that is being undertaken. Suitable public liability insurance is crucial in relation to tree related work, therefore verify that your chosen tree surgeon is fully covered.
Obviously safety is the primary worry when doing any sort of tree surgery in Ipswich, and your tree surgeon needs to be familiar with all of the necessary safety procedures. He will have got all the essential gear to work safely on your trees and make sure that they aren't harmed in any way, nor is any damage done to your home or your loved ones while any work is done.
Using tree climbing and tree surgery apparatus should come as second nature to a licenced tree surgeon, and he will gladly get to work on your trees using winches, stump grinding machines, rigging plates, loppers, pole saws, rigging ropes, lowering pulleys, climbing ropes, wood shredders, chain saws, slackline kits and harnesses. This equipment can be quite elaborate and over the years has been created to make the practice of tree surgery both safer and easier.
It's best to make sure that the tree surgeon will responsibly remove all the waste and branches from the area once the work is completed. Properly getting rid of any generated waste materials ought to be a legal responsibility for any genuine tree surgeon. It is necessary that they have a valid waste carriers licence and that the waste wood is taken away from the area and disposed of correctly.
Crown Thinning Ipswich
Eliminating small living branches towards the outer areas of the crown, yet not adjusting the overall size or shape of that tree, is called crown thinning. This is done to make a consistent density of leaves, which itself achieves particular goals such as: to lower the tree's wind resistance, to let more light inside, to alleviate the stress on particular limbs due to wind, ice, gravity or snow or to lower the weight of the crown of the tree.

Over five million Nigerian women entrepreneurs have so far benefited from over N500 million facility put in place by the Association of Nigerian Women Business Network (ANWEN) to boost their businesses.
ANWEN in collaboration with Unity Bank had put the facility in place to enable beneficiaries to get soft loans, ranging from N100,000 to N5 million each at single-digit interest rates.
The National Coordinator of ANWEN, Ajala Angela, disclosed this, yesterday, at the International Women’s Day 2024 Inspire Induction celebration held in Abuja.
The celebration was themed, ‘Building Sustainable Entrepreneurial and Financial Skills for Women in Challenging Times’.
Angela said that the association, made of 66 different bodies across the country, is vital to creating and addressing major challenges business and professional women face.
She listed notable achievements of the association including the production and implementation of the Women National Business Agenda, the inauguration of advocacy teams in all the 36 states of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), granting access to credit at single-digit interest rates as well as free credit for health payment plan for members and their families.

Bitcoin is an excellent tool for criminals. Not because it’s easier to use than other currencies, but because it’s so hard to track down who’s doing what. The network’s anonymity makes it possible for anyone, including law enforcement, to use Bitcoin anonymously. But these days, everyone seems to be talking about how bad Bitcoin is for criminals. If you are new to Bitcoin, there are several ways to profit from Bitcoin mining. So let me explain why this isn’t necessarily true:
The Panama Papers were a big deal, but not because they revealed many rich people shuffling money around. This is how the global financial system works. Its main fault is that it discriminates against small-time crooks. Using offshore bank accounts, shell companies, and tax havens to evade taxes, launder money and engage in other fraudulent activities isn’t news. What’s interesting is how the crypto economy fits into all this.
The Panama Papers revealed that many of the world’s most influential people had used offshore bank accounts for their benefit. But what do we mean by “offshore”? It refers to jurisdictions outside of where you live or work that offer financial services such as banking and investment management. They’re popular because they often offer lower taxes than your home country. But they can also be used as vehicles for fraud and corruption if they aren’t adequately regulated by governments or international organisations like the EU or World Bank Group.
It has been possible for quite some time to convert bitcoins into gift cards that you can use on various ordinary consumer sites like Amazon and iTunes. But it turns out there’s an even easier method for laundering criminal proceeds through Bitcoin.
Last week, researchers at the cybersecurity firm Chainalysis revealed that they had identified a new type of money laundering scheme based on abusing one of the most popular ways to spend cryptocurrency: in-app purchases made with digital currency. Specifically, criminals buy prepaid credit cards with stolen bitcoin, then use those prepaid cards to make online transactions from hacked accounts or other illicit sources.
The process works like this: A hacker steals personal information from an individual’s email account by breaking into their computer or phone (or accessing their email provider). The hacker uses this stolen data to sign up for prepaid card services with various merchants. Once these prepaid cards are available as payment options within their banking app, it is easy because most bank apps give you access to any payment method you’ve previously connected with. They can begin making fraudulent purchases without raising red flags among retailers who might otherwise flag suspicious activity as likely linked with credit card fraud.
Online gambling sites have been processing bitcoin deposits for many years now, and one site, in particular, has emerged as a predominant force in the market. Cloudbet offers sports betting, casino games, and poker with bitcoin deposits, withdrawals and wagers processed instantly on the site.
Cloudbet is a bitcoin sportsbook, casino, and poker room. Cloudbet offers many betting options, including sports betting, live casino games, and live poker. Cloudbet is one of the most popular online casinos because they accept Bitcoin deposits, withdrawals, and traditional payment methods such as credit cards or e-wallets.
It has been operating for over seven years now with an excellent reputation for offering fair gaming conditions and great customer service to players worldwide. The site’s interface is easy to use with a simple navigation system that allows you to place bets faster than ever!
Bitcoin’s network is fantastic for getting things done quickly with minimal fuss. Like gambling sites, you don’t need to deal with any third parties or APIs when transferring funds from one person or company to another. Just deposit from your source wallet and withdraw to the destination wallet.
This is a huge advantage over traditional finance. Moving money can take days or weeks because intermediary banks and clearing houses hold on to your cash for longer than necessary.
Bitcoin is a great tool for criminals. It’s used for money laundering, tax evasion, and other fraudulent activities. But in the end, this doesn’t matter too much since it’s just another way of transferring value worldwide. If you want to invest in cryptocurrency and find automatic software, use bitcoin trading software. It will allow you to do efficient trading.

British Cycling supports Help for Heroes Sports Recovery programmes. British Cycling has announced a new initiative with Help for Heroes to help wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans rebuild their lives.
Record-breaking crowds at this weekend’s National Road Race Championships have been hailed by British Cycling today, after 30,000 people lined the streets to watch Mark Cavendish and Lizzie Armistead ride to glory on Sunday.
Former Road World Champion Mark Cavendish and London Olympic silver medallist Lizzie Armitstead were crowned champions in the 2013 British Cycling National Road Race Championships in Glasgow today.
Sports governing body reaches 75,000 members milestone. British Cycling’s membership has surpassed 75,000, soaring by over 50% since Sir Bradley Wiggins won the Tour de France in July last year, the sports governing body announced today.
Twenty-three time Tour de France stage winner and 2011 Road World Champion Mark Cavendish and London 2012 Olympic Games silver medallist Lizzie Armitstead will lead a world class field of Olympic and World Champions at the 2013 British Cycling National Road Championships which take place on 20 June (Time Trial) and 23 June (Road Race) in Glasgow and East Ayrshire. For the third year running, highlights of the event will be broadcast on ITV4 with this year’s race coverage being shown on Monday 24…
Getting more women cycling: the Big Breeze Bike Ride sees nationwide activities, 22-23 June. Ever notice that for every woman you see cycling along a road, there are three men? That’s because a whopping three times as many men as women in the UK ride bikes, with just one in fifty women getting their feet on the pedals once a week or more. Somewhere along the line, it seems a lot of women have forgotten the unbridled joy of life on two wheels.
British Cycling has formed a new partnership with Trafford College, which will support over 170 coaches to achieve qualifications in coaching cycling.
British Cycling President, Brian Cookson, today announced that he is willing to offer himself as a candidate for the position of President of the Union Cycliste Internationale (International Cycling Union). Elections take place at the Annual Congress in Florence, Italy, in September.

It seems that Teen Mom 2’s Jenelle Evans can’t catch a break. Media outlets are all abuzz this week following her husband, David Eason’s, arrest. The Sun reports that Eason was arrested last weekend after he “assaulted [Evans’] friend”. What we know about the alleged fight The alleged victim of the fight is Jenelle’s friend,
Ensley Eason might be the best thing that ever happened to Jenelle Evans and her husband David. Even critics of the Teen Mom couple agree she’s a real little charmer.

Teen Mom 2 alums, Jenelle and David made up their differences and reconciled. Even her mom Barb bought into that.

Teen Mom 2 critics slammed Jenelle Evans for returning to “the Land” and stopping her divorce proceedings against David Eason.

Teen Mom fans know that the Jenelle they saw on TV seemed packed with problems. However, since she got fired by MTV, she seems a lot happier. That’s despite the hatred that went her way after David shot and killed her dog Nugget. These days, her mom and David Eason get along a lot better.

Here’s some end-of-the week music, and if you hate The Carpenters, or think they’re schlocky, then just pass this post by. (Actually, there are three versions of the song here, two, by Willie Nelson and Leon Russell, below the first one.) I think that would be a shame, because although some of their songs are indeed schlocky, Karen Carpenter had—along with Barbra Streisand—the best female pop voice of our time. (Or so I think: you can argue below.) And the song is a very good one: “A Song For You”: composed and made famous by the late Leon Russell. (It was released in 1970.)
I came across this video as a “suggestion” on the right side when I was browsing YouTube. Because I thought I’d heard every Carpenters song but hadn’t seen this one, I listened to it. And I decided, that of all the versions I’ve heard, including Russell’s own (below), this one’s the best. Why? It’s Karen’s voice, which handles the high and low notes of this song easily. Richard called her low notes “the money notes,” and that’s pretty obvious from this version, recorded live on the Bob Hope Special on October 5, 1972. Can’t you feel your bones vibrate when she hits those low notes? I have to say that Richard’s kind of stiff in this version, but, in contrast, Karen was more expressive than usual.
I’m going to give you two good versions below hers; you might like them better.
Here’s Russell playing his own song at some kind of informal gathering or jam session:
A spare but wonderful version by Willie Nelson, accompanied only by his favorite guitar, “Trigger“:
19 thoughts on ““A Song For You””
Leon Russell deserves a lot more credit than he gets. He was a member of The Wrecking Crew, a group of LA studio musicians who are responsible for a lot more of 1960s music then the recording artists. I think the best album from that period was Pet Sounds from The Beach Boys. Most of the music on the album is actually from The Wrecking Crew. None of the Beach Boys actually play on God Only Knows. That is all Brian Wilson with the Wrecking Crew.
If we are just looking for who can sing the song I really do not see a contest. Carpenter is far superior. Willy could write some songs but often others sang them. Patsy Cline comes to mind.
While she has the nicest voice of these three performers, I prefer the Russell and Nelson versions. The Carpenter version is, to my ear, over-produced. The song doesn’t need all those other musicians. The strings turn if from a soulful expression of love into something that would fit into a Lawrence Welk Show episode.
I have to agree even though I love Karen Carpenter. Imagine if Karen had sung it minimalist style like Willie. Would have been incredible.
I agree. If it was done with just guitar or piano I would likely have made it my top choice.
Loved them all, but Willie’s version made me weep.
That last picture of the guitar scandalized me: you should have given a Trigger warning.
Absolutely! It’s hard to imagine that kind of damage happening from any normal playing – though maybe I’m doing it all wrong…
Willie uses a pick and these guitars, meant to be played with the fingers, don’t have a pick guard. That accounts for the hole. There’s a cool video of the repair person doing Trigger’s annual checkup here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhQuJTc5yFY
Part II is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fDij2CWLZY
I got to see Leon perform this song (twice) in his later years at shows here in Austin. First time was after his brain surgery and he had to be helped just to walk out to the stage. He was very frail but once his hands hit the keys it was like he was as alive as he had ever been. He didn’t miss a note.
Karen Carpenter had a beautiful alto voice, one of the best I’ve ever heard among popular artists. As was typical of many artists of the 1970’s, songs by the Carpenters tended to be over-produced—too many symphonic elements, too many tracks, too much over-dubbing, too much reverb, a number of other things I could get into but won’t here. New, multitrack mixing consoles enabled this, but using all of the available tracks led to the over-productions that I mention. Too much orchestration removed some of the humanity in Karen Carpenter’s lovely, vulnerable voice.
Karen Carpenter was a treasure who died too soon. I love hearing her songs.
Taking away nothing for the praise poor Karen Carpenter has rightly received, I’ll make a plea for those who don’t know her to listen to Sandy Denny. Best known for her work fronting Fairport Convention in their glory years, her voice was powerful and expressive. Try ‘A Sailor’s Life’ from Unhalfbricking, or ‘Matty Groves’ or even “Who Knows Where the Time Goes’ from Liege and Lief. So sad to think she used way too much gin to overcome her stage fright, had her husband kidnap their daughter and run off to Australia, at which point she drank some more, fell down stairs and died of a midbrain haemorrhage. What a waste.
The song picks the artist and it shows. It’s not always the case.
Carpenter’s version for my rock n roll sensibilities is a little too refined, nice all the same.
Loen Russell wrote some good tunes but I particularly like (when in the mood)his “Hank Wilson’s Back” pretty much all cover renditions.
I love the Carpenters’ version. Her voice had a different kind of soulfulness and warmth.
Donny Hathaway’s cover is particularly good, too.
Like you, I had never heard Karen Carpenter sing this song before. I totally agree that she had one of the finest female voices of her generation and her cover of this song is a showcase for her talent. That said, I agree with other commentators that the song is “over produced”, but this is simply a reflection of the the style of the Carpenters. My favorite version of this song is by Donny Hathaway who totally cuts it up, making it his own with a sparse and soulful rendition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeHiio1sTTI
The best female pop voice of our time was Linda Ronstadt, though I suppose one could argue that she was not really a “pop” singer.
Ronstadt did have a wonderful voice. We raised our kids on a video of Pirates of Penzance staring Linda (and other greats).
Just to say once again, I totally agree with you, Jerry, about Karen Carpenter and Barbra Streisand.
I hadn’t heard “A Song For You” before, and loved it. Many thanks!

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Heavy machinery descended on the homeless encampment along the Ben Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia Friday morning to begin dismantling the site after a deal was reached between leaders and the city.
Police also escorted crews to clear trash from a baseball field in the park.
"It's a really sensitive situation," said Jennifer Bennetech of OccupyPHA, which has spoken out on behalf of the encampment in negotiations with the city. "People want to get the houses. People are proud of what they've accomplished by being out here all summer, but people are also afraid."
One of the encampment's demands was to give the people living there housing by turning over abandoned buildings. Philadelphia has agreed to do that by signing over 50 properties to a land trust established by the encampment.
They aim to turn the buildings into permanent housing. Under the agreement, everyone should be moved out of the encampment by the end of the week.
Some residents in the area are ready to see the encampment come to a close.
"I'm glad to see it resolved in a positive manner," said Keith Leitner. "It was an issue. I think they got their point across,"
"I've seen a lot worse stuff happen in that park than just people living in tents," said area resident Jashan Nirmul.
City officials said they will have staff on-site Saturday to help people connect to housing resources.
Neighbors remain skeptical that the deadline will be met.
"That's the third time they've struck a deal, so we'll see how it goes," said Greg Schaible of Fairmount.
Mayor Jim Kenney says the park will be restored once the encampment has been cleared.

Accommodating customers in the design for the solutions -SAP forum Report
The SAP forum held at Safari Park hotel on the 18th July 2012 can be said to have been a success. Various companies’ CEOs and executives attended the event that saw a highlight of what the ERP software is planning for the country and the continent.
The forum also saw people like Hon.Dr. Bitange Ndemo give a keynote address and motivational speaker Caroline Musyoka inspiring the audience. SAP Africa CEO Mr. Pfungwa Serima gave a brief outline of the company’s plans and strategies for Africa and Kenya. One of the key aspects noted by the CEO was the usage of the ERP software by big African organizations. He said that 70% of top 10 African businesses or companies use SAP.
Part of the main highlight was the testimonials given by Mr. Vimal Shah, CEO of Bidco group and Dr. Kipkurui Langat, the CEO of New KCC on how SAP system has helped their organization improve efficiency both in operations, and in profit improvement. These testimonials showed the potential of the software in the region and that an investment made in it was worth every cent.
Another company that made a reference to using the ERP solution was Furniture Palace that is situated along Mombasa road. The CEO of Furniture Palace gave a thumbs-up to the solution and was impressed by the return on Investment and the improvement of their operations.
In all the three companies, what the CEOs underlined was the improvement in operation, reduced costs in doing business and also a short time of implementation of the ERP. They said that it took them two months to fully implement the solution, which is commendable as compared to other ERP solutions.
The presentation made by the company gave insights on what many people may not have known in regards to the software solution. One of the insights was the presence of their software solution for Small and Medium Enterprise. This is what they call SAP business One used by small and medium sized companies. This is what is currently used by Furniture Palace and other small and medium sized companies.
The SAP markets highlighted during presentation are:
- Technology and database
What impressed me during the presentation of these markets is the way the company is focused on providing solutions to both large enterprises and small and medium enterprises. The applications and analytics section gave a critical look on how making decisions can be made easy by coming up with reports that help in decision making.
During an interview with SAP executives, they emphasized on how they accommodate the customer when coming up with design of their solutions and also how they view Africa as the next frontier for their business. The Managing Director, SAP East Africa Mr. Andrew Waititu stated on how the East Africa office has grown over the years with a growth in staff and also in partners working with SAP. He also stated on how in the next couple of months the cloud based solutions will be available to customers.
The mobile and database technology market is has had major growth and is currently ranked 2nd in the world and one of the emphasis that each executive mentioned to change how business will be done is SAP HANA. I wanted to know what exactly what SAP HANA does and the demos shown on the analytics through the use of SAP HANA is amazing and will be a feature in SAP 9.0 which is about to be launched.
One of the questions asked about SAP was the price. The price seem a little high and Mr. Serima, The CEO SAP Africa stated that the high price of SAP is a myth. I quote, “look at the value of the investment and the innovative solutions it offers. It is not about buying the solution but using the solution into a good experience”.
Another aspect that came out with the meetings with the executives is that SAP is not only or entirely an ERP company. One can start with a module and integrate other modules as the business grows. Mobility is also another area that the company is looking at. Mobile software applications are currently being looked into because Africa is a continent where mobile penetration is high. However, do not worry if you have an i-pad or an i-phone. The company has an app which you can buy from the apple store and install in your i-pad and experience the SAP experience. Also cloud access to your data was also demonstrated and this showed that the company is looking into the future and in my opinion we have to watch the space.


New Delhi: Dark mode is the most awaited and most discussed feature in WhatsApp. This feature, which has been in the headlines for a long time, is still available only for WhatsApp beta users. Now dark mode is going to be available on the desktop version also. This information has been revealed from leaked photos.
According to WABetaInfo, Dark Mode is coming for WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp Desktop. Twitter handle WABetaInfo, which shared the leaks associated with WhatsApp, has shared some pictures of it. In these photos, WhatsApp running on the desktop is in dark mode. It is clear from the pictures what the main screen of WhatsApp web will look like. It is also being learned that the chats will have emojis and a dedicated section of stickers. In the pictures you will also find that the development of the graphic interface is not yet complete, that is, work is going on on it.
Dark themes for WhatsApp web and desktop will be enabled through a special toggle. Hopefully, this will be given in settings. However, this development is at an early stage. It is also not expected to launch soon. The time it has taken to get the Dark Mode feature in WhatsApp’s mobile app, it is estimated that we will have to wait for the Dark Theme feature in WhatsApp web and desktop versions.

Bharat Kumar Mohan, a former Google Finance employee, is one such entrepreneur who is riding this wave. Mohans venture Pugmarks, which was started only late last year, helps users identify articles based on their interests, websites they follow on social networks, or their own browsing history. The trick, for him, was to convince funds that the start-up was catering to a global audience. He feels that his primary market is the US since more people access the net there. The product was developed with a problem in mind, says Mohan, whose company is funded by a seed fund, Blume Ventures. Early stage funding is generally less than $20 million.
Rajan Anandan, vice-president and managing director of Google India, an angel investor for more than 20 start-ups in the country, including Capillary Technologies and WebEngage, feels that increasing number of incubators and accelerators across the country are striving to get business ideas to an investment-ready stage. Now we have a dozen private incubators and accelerators that have emerged in the past couple of years, making the big difference at the early stage, says Anandan.
Investors feel that while the first wave was largely services oriented, the new generation entrepreneurs are focusing on products. Services have now become a big boys game and hence everyone is focusing on developing products with usually a global market in sight. They are also helped by the fact that there is increased acceptance of entrepreneurship as a first-class citizen". Nasscom president Som Mittal feels the change as compared to a decade ago is that the new wave of tech entrepreneurs are ready to start a venture out of college, unlike in the past when entrepreneurs were born out of a mid-career crisis. These youngsters seem to be fearless and look certainly more confident about their talent and products, Mittal tells FE.
Deepak Ravindran, the 25-year-old founder of Innoz, a SMS search service provider, points out that earlier many companies were eventually forced to sell themselves to investors rather than being able to sell their products. Now, with the resurgence of angel investors and seed funds, the start-ups are breathing easy.
Among second-generation entrepreneurs, we see a strong belief about the products that they are building, which is for global SMEs. The feel of the product today is more global, while earlier the products were more functional," says Prashanth Prakash, partner, Accel Partners India. The early-stage VC fund has invested in Pune-based MindTickle, a social consumer interactive platform, which sells its products to one of the top three global retail and telecom majors. Accel has also invested in Chennai-based Freshdesk, a customer support tool provider that caters to global clients, including Stanford University and Pearson Education Group.
Aprameya, founder of Bangalore-based start-up Taxiforsure, says angel investors today bring in new ideas, which entrepreneurs can bounce off with them. They bring in more value than the money they invest," he said. Earlier this year, the online cab booking site attracted investments from Helion, Accel Partners and Blume.
Till three years back, there were just VCs in India that supported all start-ups. VCs are simply not set up to devote the time needed for seed stage, says Sanjay Swamy, managing partner, AngelPrime, a business incubator which focuses on start-ups in sectors like mobile payments, e-commerce and apps for smartphones and tablets. But this has posed a challenge of its own. The good news and the bad news is that we now have a glut of entrepreneurspeople dont want to work in a start-up; they want to start a start-up. Talent is the biggest challenge," says Swamy.
Cloud has become big enabler for the second generation to think global, as it has increased the maturity and scalability of start-ups. Internet helped to understand what is global best and what great looks like," adds Anandan. He adds that even the marketing, sales and product subscription are done out of Internet and cloud. He cites the example of WebEngage, which caters to 4,000 global clients with just five employees working in Mumbai. This, Anandan says, has lifted the barriers and inspired a lot of people to take up entrepreneurship.

I’ve been working away on my Archer shirt, and it’s so close to done! I’ve learned a lot along the way, and I can’t wait to share the finished shirt.
I usually talk about UFOs on Mondays, but there are only so many times you can look at my Glynis socks (I ripped and re-started that 2nd sock this weekend), and my other UFO project is tippy-top secret, so I’ll share the next sewing project in my queue.
Since I typically sew for an hour or two at night just before bed and don’t want to interrupt the flow of that sewing time once Archer is finished, I decided to take a break from writing during the daylight this weekend to cut out the plaid skirt I’ve been thinking about.
I dug through my pattern stash and came up with Butterick 5613, a pleated skirt pattern with a wide waistband that I’ve been meaning to try for a while.
The fabric is a green and navy plaid flannel that I picked up during an after-Thanksgiving sale. Since this pattern isn’t lined and I want to wear the skirt with tights, I’m underlining the flannel with a traditional lining fabric. Hopefully this will also lend the flannel some body and keep it from wrinkling too badly.
With only four pieces, I thought it would be a cinch to match the plaids on this skirt. Was I ever wrong! It turns out that the grain of this fabric has been badly warped, and matching the plaids just isn’t going to be a possibility. I’m hoping the pleats mask the warping, but perfectionist me is twitching about the whole thing.
Only a few more days of writing before my seminar papers are turned in and I can spend some quality time at my sewing machine to knock a few things off my list before our greatly anticipated trip home to Minnesota for the holidays! I can’t wait!
