text: The Firewall drop-down menu in IPCop contains functionality to configure functions of the firewall itself. Since IPCop's design philosophy is to treat the Green zone as implicitly trusted and downgrade trust from there onwards, there is no egress filtering natively built into IPCop. Instead, your two main choices for configuration here are External Access, which lets you control which ports IPCop will allow in the inbound direction, and Port Forwarding. See Chapter 9 for more information on setting up a more granular firewall policy, particularly for egress traffic (i.e. traffic traversing from Green to Red).

The iconic flower of the Christmas season owes its fame to a native South Carolinian.
Joel Roberts Poinsett of Charleston was the first U.S. minister to Mexico. In 1828, he found a beautiful euphorbia plant in bloom there and sent samples back home. Today we know it as the poinsettia, and according to Dr. Jim Faust, a Clemson University poinsettia researcher, it’s the number-one-selling potted flowering plant in the U.S.
Faust has some tips for enjoying your poinsettias as long as possible. Success starts with selecting good quality in the garden center. Look for plants with healthy flowers—the small, green-and-yellow bead-like structures in the center—and fully colored bracts, usually bright red, white, pink or burgundy.
You want abundant, dark-green leaves all along the stems. Avoid poinsettias with drooping, wilted or yellow leaves, bare stems and unbalanced or damaged branches. Check the container size; cheaply grown plants potted in undersized containers will appear disproportionately large. Plants with some growing room for their roots are more likely to survive the season.
At home, place your poinsettia where it can get at least six hours of bright, indirect sunlight each day. An east- or south-facing window with a sheer curtain to filter the light is perfect. Avoid placing it near heat-emitting appliances (stoves, fireplaces, vents), as excessive heat will cause premature leaf drop. Also avoid cold; poinsettias are tropical plants that prefer temperatures between 50 and 75 degrees.
Poinsettias depend on moderately moist soil. Water when the soil surface feels dry, but don’t fertilize it during bloom. If there’s a decorative foil pot covering, remove that when watering to allow the soil mixture to drain. You never want the plant to sit in standing water.
Faust says modern varieties should last at least a month in the home with this simple care.
Many folks opt to discard their faded Christmas flower after the holidays, but if you like a challenge, you can keep your poinsettia and attempt to make it bloom again next year.
When the decorative bracts have faded, usually in late March or early April, prune the plant back to 6 to 8 inches tall and fertilize with an all-purpose liquid fertilizer. This encourages new growth to emerge. Move your plant outdoors once nighttime temperatures stay above 50 degrees. Acclimate it in a shady spot at first, then gradually move it to less shade over a two-week period, ending in full sunlight. Fertilize it every two to three weeks through spring, summer and fall.
Early in June, repot your poinsettia into a slightly larger container, using a quality potting mix, and pinch back the shoot tips once or twice before Sept. 1 to encourage more branching.
Once outdoor temperatures dip below 60 F, bring your plant indoors. Starting the first week of October, give it 14 hours of complete, uninterrupted darkness at night and six to eight hours of bright sunlight during the day. Caution: Any interruption in the nightly dark period—even briefly turning on a light—may reset the bloom cycle.
Your careful efforts will reward you with colorful bracts and flowers in full bloom between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
S. Cory Tanner is an area horticulture agent and Master Gardener coordinator for Clemson Extension based in Greenville County. Contact him here.
Poinsettias have evolved over the past two centuries, from the 12-foot, gangly shrubs growing in the wilds of Mexico to the cultivated and colorful beauties we now enjoy in holiday displays. An exhibit featuring an array of poinsettia varieties—including the trailblazing 1923 Oak Leaf, the compact Freedom Red introduced in 1991, and 21 varieties grown by Clemson University horticulture students—will be on display Dec. 1–25 in the lower lobby of the Westin Poinsett hotel on Main Street in Greenville.

“The Little Stranger” is a quiet, stately Gothic ghost story, an exquisitely observed British period piece built upon understated, reserved and stoic performances by Domhnall Gleeson and the formidable Ruth Wilson.
What is isn’t, despite a mood as chilling as an overdue English spring, is particularly frightening. Lenny Abrahamson, the director of “Room” and “Frank,” has conjured up everything but the tingles with this cerebral and slow story of a Great House, its Great Tragedy and the psychic repercussions that reverberate there decades later.
It’s the late 1940s, and a house call summons him to Hundreds Hall, a fabled estate that sat heavy upon his youth. Decades before, he was but “a common village boy.” His mother was a servant there, and it was her efforts that got him through medical school (Birmingham, not “Ox-bridge”). Now he has the posh accent and reserved manner of the class which he waits upon, the trusted healer and man-of-science dealing with the Ayres family, which has at long last lost its privilege due to death, progressive taxation and entropy.
Roderick (Will Poulton of “The Revenant”) is a badly burned RAF pilot and heir, charged with saving the estate. Caroline (the always earthy Wilson) is his hard-working, common- sensible sister. Charlotte Rampling is the regal matriarch, presiding over a slow descent into ruin and oblivion.
Because there’s something not quite right with this Hall, and the doctor — showing up to treat this or that, showing up to smile at Caroline and showing up just to revel in the glories that he remembers from long ago — is a necessary sounding board to them all.
“That house HATES me” Rod insists. The noises, the accidents, the queer occurences, they’re getting to him.
And even though, as Caroline admits, “We’ve lost the trick of ‘company,'” Faraday finds himself almost welcome in their world. They can gripe about Labor tax policies, selling off land to “the rabble” and let their leaky, creaky house shame them in front of Faraday. Because he’s one of them…almost. Until push comes to shove.
A child died there decades before, and that might explain what’s happening, not that Faraday swallows that. The family and their last servant (Liv Hill) may accept the haunting as a fact of life, but not Faraday. He’s too busy sharing his memories of the place with them, batting his eyes at Plain Jane Caroline.
Abrahamson, working from a Lucinda Coxon script based on the Sarah Waters novel, loses himself in the whole Merchant-Ivory/Jane Austen features that might have better been observed on the fringes. Vast, empty, echoing rooms, drooping drapes and peeling plaster, land that is uncleared, held as a “park” which might have to be sold to make way for Britain’s post-war Baby Boom, the routine of a small-town medical practice at mid-century, a formal dance that goes on pointlessly, all decorate the story but distract us from the needed suspense, growing horror and genuine human reactions to facing the supernatural.
Wilson, as always, brings an unacknowledged soulful pain to her characterization — sensual as always (TV’s “The Affair” is her best-known role), but here with a bittersweet sting — sensuality withering away in solitude.
Gleeson, even in close-ups, rarely lets us see past the Good Doctor’s reserve, a not-quite-chilly bedside manner, just an MD keeping calm and carrying on.
There are two or three scenes that lift this above the still-life Abrahamson almost gives in to creating include a moment of romantic surrender and a tender, last-look-at-life through-living-eyes unblinkingly filmed as the family dog is put down.

Webster dictionary was developed by Noah Webster in the beginning of 19th century. On this website, you can find definition for silicon from the 1913 edition of Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary. Define silicon using one of the most comprehensive free online dictionaries on the web.
1. A nonmetalic element analogous to carbon. It always occurs combined in nature, and is artificially obtained in the free state, usually as a dark brown amorphous powder, or as a dark crystalline substance with a meetallic luster. Its oxide is silica, or common quartz, and in this form, or as silicates, it is, next to oxygen, the most abundant element of the earth's crust. Silicon is characteristically the element of the mineral kingdom, as carbon is of the organic world. Symbol Si. Atomic weight 28. Called also silicium.
The one passes into the other as seldom as silicon passes into the cells of a fallen tree. - "A Republic Without a President and Other Stories", Herbert Ward.
Iron is an important element of blood, and silicon supplies the hardest parts of the teeth, nails, and hair. - "The American Woman's Home", Catherine E. Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe.
We've seen hydrogen, oxygen, silicon and others, and as the sun aged, the elements must have been mixed up more and more thoroughly. - "The Black Star Passes", John W Campbell.

My institution, the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, attracts students from all of South Africa's race groups. Once they graduate, our teachers work in schools that cater for all of these groups. But, nearly two decades since the country became a constitutional democracy, the "born-frees" seemed to be perpetuating the very racial divisions the anti-apartheid struggle had fought against.
"Sir, you see that lady digging in the rubbish dump? She's my mother!"
We used participatory learning activities, like having students engage in "story circles", to help develop the trust needed to share the stories close to their hearts. We also employed a "pedagogy of discomfort" to challenge students to tell the stories that really mattered to them. The stories are all fewer than 500 words long; a brevity which makes them very powerful and which is amplified by the way they’re crafted with visuals and audio.
"When you look [at] someone like a coloured or a white person, you think that he or she doesn't face the problems that you're dealing with. And now we realise that we all have problems. Then we have to respect each other for that."
"Our overall topic [was] 'what does it mean to be human?'. We're all human… we all have our issues… so it makes us human."
"I speak to people that I've never spoken to before. It's actually opened me up a bit more… I have an emotional connection to them because… I related heavily to what they said … they will always be held in some form of amazement."
"My father died this morning… I could have stayed at home, cried or … but I wanted to be here because… it's nicer to be here than to be alone."
"This friend of mine, she will… say "I don’t like that person". Then I would say, "Let's move towards our bias". It's working because we get to know other people and we try to understand why the people are like that."
"I'm more into the whole single story. So when… people say things… maybe look at it from another perspective, from another side and not just be focused in your own little…"
"Just because we are from different backgrounds doesn't mean that we don't go through the same things… but these stories, you know, they're common and we’re not actually that different."
We all have stories: stories of hope and joy as well as those of pain and despair. These speak to ways in which our common humanity is divided by race and class, as well as by gender and other forms of social inequality. I believe that if we can find ways to share our stories perhaps we can find ways to rediscover ourselves and others as "being human".

A labeling system is an incredibly advantageous device for making everything in a move more organized and identifiable.
Moving labels can make a real difference in one’s moving experience so that a mover can feel more relaxed and inspired throughout. Moving labels can function as a kind of adhesive concept map, serving the movers thinking visually; using description and color for both organizational and creative purposes.
Removable labels, for example, allow movers to stick identification onto surfaces within a hypothetical construct and completely without permanence so that a plan of transport is mapped and developed with visual aid; this action helps to determine which items will go in which box and also where certain items and furniture will ultimately be placed.
As the packing ensues, the mover’s ideas pertaining to the placement and final destination of all of his or her belongings, as well as their intended arrangement in the new dwelling, will begin to emerge. Moving labels communicate a mover’s - moving policies, indicating their motivations to others, which will evolve and change in a process similar to research.
This mapping is especially important in the early stages of moving so that operations for the move can begin being accomplished in a step-by-step process without automatically assuming their permanence.
This research then will help in determining finally where everything in the household functionally belongs. Labeling, in general, is especially helpful when working with professional movers or other helpers, avoiding the need to transfer or reorganize boxes and furniture oneself when there is no longer anyone around to lend a hand. Use moving labels to communicate directives to professional movers and other helpers who can reduce the workload on a mover, by placing boxes in the rooms they belong in, and while also helping to ensure the proper transportation and handling of the parcels. Moving labels can be purchased to identify the contents of every box for each room, marking them as GLASS or DELICATE, and it is advisable to label boxes headed for storage. These labels often come in a kit and contain printed labels for perhaps 10 different rooms, including several copies of each label, such as OFFICE, KITCHEN, FRAGILE, and OPEN FIRST.
3. Where Can You Purchase Such Labels?
They are often a spectrum of brightly colored hues for each room/item. Choose a layout that best serves one’s own sense of organization and thought process, since labels come in all shapes and sizes. Some of them are a bit longer and include space to write notes, on the blank or lined adhesive. Conveniently purchase moving labels online and download them from the internet. There are moving label software kits for the printer that include both printed and blank labels. These types of labels can be purchased with removable adhesive and have the ability to be transferred from the walls, doors, and cabinets.
4. What Labels Work Best?
Using large, boldly printed labels will make instructions more apparent to others so that large, bold, markers will not be necessary to make additional notes, though keeping some of these large markers might come in handy for marking last minute labels on a box. Purchase plenty of labels in the case that they run out, the adhesive fails, or for changing one’s mind about what was planned.

Normally, our catches at Piers Park consist of green crabs, green crabs, and more green crabs (with a few red rock crabs and lobsters in between). But that has never deterred our Harbor Explorers from baiting their fishing lines and patiently waiting for any tugs. We see lots of minnows cruising near the surface of the water and our underwater camera has shown us that there are some medium-sized fish swimming under the dock; however, we had yet to hook one…until Tuesday! One of our oldest Explorers, Michael, became the hero of the day when he caught the first fish of the summer at Piers Park. Even though the fish wasn’t any bigger than my hand, it was a hit amongst the Explorers and it gave everyone renewed hope that it was possible to catch fish. With a new confidence in his abilities, Michael reassuringly told his younger cousin, “Don’t worry, Nicholas. I’ll help you catch a fish tomorrow.” And lo and behold, who should catch a fish the following day? Nicholas! Seeing the beaming smiles on Nicholas and Michael’s faces was just as rewarding as seeing the fish swimming in our touch tank.
Michael with his catch of the day!
Moving on to the McDonough Sailing Center. The Southie Explorers have had better luck fishing and over the course of the summer a handful of kids have pulled up a variety of small fish (including a tiny sculpin! So cool!) However, by far the neatest thing we caught was this past Wednesday when Leah pulled up a crab trap to find a strange looking critter. At first, she started screaming, “Sarah! Sarah! I caught an eel! I can’t pick it up! Come help me!” As I am not a fan of eels or anything that resembles snakes, I quickly delegated the job to one of my fearless JPAs. However, upon further inspection of the catch, we noticed that it didn’t look quite like an eel. It had the long, slender body of an eel, but it had a fish-like tail and a head similar to that of a seahorse. We consulted our Fish Guidebook and identified it as a type of pipefish, a relatively uncommon species in the Boston Harbor. The pipefish is a close relative of the seahorse and was unlike anything most of the Explorers (including myself) had ever seen. Leah turned our cooler into a home for her pipefish and proudly paraded it around the sailing center, showing it to anyone who crossed her path.

Environmental engineers provide the knowledge, leadership and guidance needed to improve the quality of the natural world and ensure its sustainability.
From the water we drink and the air we breathe, to the soil that produces our life-sustaining vegetation, environmental engineers play a major, and increasingly proactive, role in today's society. As an environmental engineer, you investigate the prevention and control of pollution of all kinds in efforts to deal with global climate change.
As an environmental engineering student at Clarkson, you learn how to develop and implement technologies to solve problems such as meeting clean water supply needs and protecting public health. Other areas of interest and study you will focus on include addressing the issues of acid rain, global warming, and reducing pollution, all while maintaining or improving the quality of life we enjoy.
When I was considering colleges, it was a choice between two schools — Clarkson and RIT. It seemed like a simple decision, since RIT was so close to home. However, after a strong recommendation from my AP chemistry teacher, I visited Clarkson, and I am so glad I did! I guess what decided it for me was a combination of extremely dedicated professors, financial aid and the charm of a small college town in rural New York, where the winters feel like absolute zero.
Looking to take your education a step further? Check out our list of minors and concentrations to complement your environmental engineering degree.
Internships and co-op opportunities at Clarkson are wide-ranging for environmental engineers. You can pursue an internship or co-op within your field of interest. Below is a list of organizations at which students like you have interned.

It’s scary to suffer an injury or accident that results in serious damage to one or more of your teeth. At Ditmars Family Dental, you will feel reassured, because we offer prompt urgent care to save your teeth when at all possible.
Dental trauma typically means your tooth being set loose from its socket. If it’s partial, with the tooth still physically connected, that is what is called a dislodged tooth. An avulsed tooth refers to one that is completely free of its socket. Time is a huge factor. You need the attention of our East Elmhurst emergency dentist as soon as possible. It’s also important to take helpful steps before you arrive at our office. For one thing, call us right away for guidance and advice. This will also allow us to ensure that our East Elmhurst emergency dentist is ready for your arrival. If the tooth is avulsed, keep it moist by putting in some warm water with a pinch of salt, or a container of milk. If the tooth is dislodged, try to push it back into position temporarily. It may only need to be fastened with orthodontic wire or a plastic splint at our office, thereby allowing it the time to heal naturally. Some dislodged teeth, and virtually all avulsed ones, need root canal therapy to repair damage inside them. It’s also true that some teeth are beyond the point where they can be saved, but everything possible will be done to avoid that outcome.
Unless you have other non-dental injuries that are of equal or greater urgency, always choose our East Elmhurst emergency dentist and not a hospital ER, most of which lack both the facilities and equipment to perform the necessary treatment, but also are unlikely to even have a dentist on staff. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

The Los Angeles Kings will begin the defense of their Stanley Cup championship against the team that nearly ended their magical run before it got rolling.
Los Angeles will host the San Jose Sharks to Staples Center as part of a four-game night Oct. 8 to start the 2014-15 NHL season, the League announced Saturday.
The Sharks won the first three games of their Western Conference First Round series against the Kings in April, only to lose four straight to Los Angeles. The Kings became the fourth team in NHL history to rally from a 3-0 deficit, then went on to win two more seven-game series before defeating the New York Rangers in five games in the Stanley Cup Final.
The other games on opening night will have the Philadelphia Flyers at TD Garden to face the Boston Bruins, the Toronto Maple Leafs welcoming the Montreal Canadiens to Air Canada Centre, and the Vancouver Canucks visiting the Calgary Flames at Scotiabank Saddledome.
One of the highlights the following night will be the rebranded Arizona Coyotes playing their first game since the name change, which goes into effect at the 2014 NHL Draft, against the Winnipeg Jets at Jobing.com Arena. That evening will see 11 other teams host their home opener.
The Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche, who waged a seven-game series in the first round of the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs, will start the season with a home-and-home. Minnesota defeated Colorado in Game 7 on Nino Niederreiter's overtime goal and will celebrate its first playoff series victory since 2003 at Xcel Energy Center on Oct. 9. Colorado will then welcome the Wild to Pepsi Center two days later.
The complete 1,230-game schedule will be released Sunday at 4 p.m. ET.

The Vampire Diaries: Did the Damon and Elena Scene Meet Your Expectations?
So Damon and Elena finally did it.
On Thursday's episode of The Vampire Diaries, what started out as a late-night slow dance between the two, turned into a passionate kiss, which then became a hot-and-heavy well, you know. So how did they get there after all this time? Let's back up.
The hour began with a newly single Stefan working his out his frustrations because his ex has feelings for his brother. Elena, meanwhile, knew she had confusing feelings to reconcile and Damon was elated when Elena revealed he was the reason for the breakup. But the two didn't jump each other's bones right away. First, they had to attend to the matter of awakened hunter Jeremy wanting to kill Elena. After confronting her brother only to have him stake her, Elena told Stefan to let go of the idea that Jeremy's mark would lead to a cure. "This is who I am now," Elena said. "The old Elena died when she went off that bridge. Let her go."
With a brother wanting to kill her, Elena packed up and set up shop at the Salvatore house, conveniently leaving her alone with Damon and a glass of whiskey. From there, the two relived their old Miss Mystic Falls dance which lead to a passionate kiss which turned into a hot-and-heavy hookup. But the dalliance didn't come without complications. As Caroline and Stefan drowned their sorrows they suddenly realized Elena must be sired by Damon, hence the innate attraction. Regardless, the two finally got busy.
So was it all you ever imagined and hoped for? And now that it's possible Elena is only attracted to Damon because she's sired by him, does that take away from the enjoyment of the moment? Vote in our poll.

In a survey undertaken in the framework of this research among 25 European importers and consultants the resource persons indicated highest market demand for product groups such as recycled products, bags, home textiles, scarves and other textile accessories, basketry, seasonal decoration as well as wooden items, while less demand was expressed for small bamboo and rattan furniture, carpets, paintings, sculptures etc. The resource persons provided detailed information on competitive prices for a number of products and provided feedback on import experience with Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar. They suggested that Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar should not try to compete with cheap products from China or India. Instead, the countries should focus on high quality, own style and functional, unique, contemporary design as well as sustainable materials.
Among the three countries Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar that were part of this research, Laos has by far the smallest export of home decoration, home textiles and gifts to the European market with a value of $0.391 million only for selected HS codes in 2015, while imports from Cambodia were at $44.874 million and from Myanmar at $12.396 million. The dominating product groups of home decoration, home textiles and gifts imported from Laos to Europe are 1) suitcases, bags, wallets and 2) scarves and accessories of textile materials. While the export of suitcases, bags and wallets to Europe increased strongly in the last five years, the export of scarves and accessories of textile material decreased. Besides these two product groups, the export of all other product groups is insignificant. The main European import countries in 2015 were Switzerland, France and Germany.
Laos has a population of 6.8 million people and a gross national income of US$1,730 per capita, which is relatively high compared to Cambodia and Myanmar. However, the poverty rate is also still relatively high with 23.3% in 2012/2013 according to the poverty headcount ratio at national poverty line level. The Department of Handicraft Promotion at the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in Vientiane estimates that the handicraft sector counts about 20,000 family firms, thereof 1,300 small firms, 52 enterprises and 10 big factories. The main product group of home decoration, home textiles and gifts produced in Laos are textiles. In 2012, 70% of the members of the Lao Handicraft Association were working with textiles. The companies are largely focusing on handmade production. Laos is strong on silk and cotton textiles; both are equally important. Laos is known for its very skilful weavers and intricate weaving patterns.
The number of home-based weavers is very large; most rural households are said to have a weaving loom. Besides silk, cotton becomes more and more popular, particularly in combination with indigo dyes for the tourist market. A number of small and medium enterprises have a larger number of looms. The number of small and medium enterprises with more than 10 looms is estimated to be 500. Out of about 1,000 small and medium companies trading textile products, only very few are exporting. However, out of 14 textile companies assessed in the framework of this study, 13 report ongoing export activities. The most common Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFP) are rattan, bamboo and a local fibre called Pied. Laos still has abundant NTFP raw material resources. All quota for rattan and bamboo harvesting are currently suspended, though it is expected that this will change soon. There are about 50 small and medium enterprises, thereof a few with FSC certification due to support from the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). Employment in rattan weaving is estimated to 150 weavers, while more people are employed in bamboo processing. Only one FSC certified company is exporting rattan ware at pilot project level. An interesting raw material is the natural fibre Pied, which is used for making bags, purses and other small accessories. The wood industry is also affected by the current suspension of harvesting permits. In case of wood it is however expected that this situation will last longer. Currently, only the use of teak and acacia from plantations is allowed. There is one integrated company producing mainly floor tiles and furniture, but also some accessories like trays, small boxes and laundry baskets based on teak wood from their own plantation. The company with a European investor and 250 workers has quite high turnover and exports 90% of its production, part of it also to the European market.

Do you think that there there any technological advances that have yet to happen that could enable better video games? Or do we already have the capability to make games as good as they can be?
That’s hard to predict. I’d guess that we’ve hit the point of diminishing returns. There will certainly be improvements in computing technology in the future, which will enable more complex calculations, for graphics, AI, physics, etc, but as to whether these will enable better games or simply different games, it’s hard to say. We’ve hit on a standardized style of controller design that I don’t think there can be significant improvements in.
We might invent new technologies for input, like improved motion controls, or mind control, which will solve issues like 3-axis movement (current input devices can only operate on 2 axes) or allow us to operate more than 2 interfaces simultaneously (buttons + axis control usually).
Video Games currently are very much about controlling whole bodies, rather than gross or fine motor control and this is reflective of our means of input. Motion control games with 6DOF inputs have allowed us to explore gross motor control slightly more in video games, but we’ve had a hard time making games that match this control scheme, in part because of the lack of force feedback.
Games have suffered from graphical limitations in the past, which limited which types of gameplay were feasible for an assortment of reasons, but most of these limitations have been lifted in more recent times. I think almost any fundamental unit of gameplay that can be achieved now has been achievable for the past decade. Graphics do allow for more objects to be visually represented than before, which is a big deal for MMOs and RTS. Future improvements in graphics that enable new gameplay technologies will probably manifest themselves as improvements in softbody physics, fluid simulations, or other dynamic effects that were previously difficult to simulate. It seems unlikely to me that these will become widespread however.
Newer networking technologies, and the rollout of higher internet speeds could potentially have a massive influence on MMOs in the future, a genre that is harshly limited by bandwidth and response times.
But largely in terms of developing better video games, I think we’ve largely hit the point like traditional 2d animation did where we have all the tools we need to deliver high quality products, and significant technological innovation isn’t really going to fundamentally change the nature of the process anymore. It comes down to using the tools we have better rather than developing new tools. Of course, I’m not psychic, I don’t know what’s coming next, but we’ve seen a mostly steady state since generation 6, and almost completely since generation 7. Gen 8, which we’re on now, isn’t really that different from Gen 7, and it seems unlikely that Gen 9 will be either. There’s a lot more that can be done with the tools we have, but in terms of technological innovation, I don’t see nearly as strong a potential for a revolution that will change the entire industry.

Kofi’s first performance was with his father, jazz-rock legend Ginger Baker, on live TV at the age of six. He’s since played drums behind Tom Jones, Jack Bruce, Steve Marriott, and as half of a polyrhythmic powerhouse with his father across Europe in the 1980s. More recently, Kofi has played the Extreme Guitar Tour with Uli Jon Roth, Vinny Appice and Vinnie Moore, and joined with Malcolm Bruce to rekindle the spirit of Cream to critical acclaim on stage in US and UK. His own albums include Lost City and Abstract Logic, with Jonas Hellborg and Shawn Lane.
The son of Cream singer-bassist Jack Bruce, Malcolm grew up in the thick of rock royalty and, via the Guildhall School of Music, began performing professionally at 16. As pianist, bassist, guitarist or engineer he has shared studios with Little Richard, Elton John, Eric Clapton and Dr John, and recorded and performed often with his father in the UK, US and Europe. Recent tours have included 60 dates with Joe Satriani and revisiting the music of Cream with Kofi Baker and Will Johns. Malcolm’s new album, Salvation, is now firmly released and he is touring in support through Europe and the UK in 2018.
Encouragement from his uncle by marriage, Eric Clapton, was an auspicious start for teenaged singer-guitarist Will Johns. The son of legendary recording engineer Andy Johns (the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin), he has since performed with Joe Strummer, Ronnie Wood, Jack Bruce, and Bill Wyman, and most recently the music of Cream with Malcolm Bruce and Kofi Baker. By several curious twists of the family tree, Will also counts George Harrison, Mick Fleetwood, and the great rock producer Glyn Johns as uncles. Will has released three solo albums – “Count On Me”, “Hooks and Lines” and “Something Old, Something New ” — in 2016.

Considering the real dearth of Thanksgiving-themed music (unless you count this, er, masterpiece), it's hard to know what to play during those seven hours you spend in the kitchen on Turkey Day. Spotify is here to make the call for you with a nifty new interactive feature that picks optimal tunes, based on the size of your bird and your musical tastes.
"Time for Turkey" first asks you for the weight of your turkey so Spotify can set an appropriate length. The sliding scale lets you go from 4 to 24lbs, with an option for stuffed or unstuffed to make the estimate even more scientific. Then, you choose from six appropriate themes: Americana, Family Time, Feeling Thankful (which suspiciously features an image of the Mamma Mia! movie soundtrack), Club Kitchen, Freshly Baked, and Golden Oldies. After you've made your selection, Spotify generates a playlist that will power you through the entire cook time. It's all based off the USDA's own roasting timetable, so your bird should be done once the music is, though Spotify reminds you to check frequently just to be safe. Also, while you're technically supposed to shut this thing off once your food is ready to serve, nothing's stopping you from keeping it going to drown out Uncle Larry's views on Syria.
Kristin Hunt is a Food/Drink staff writer for Thrillist, and would probably just pick an endless loop of Paul Simon singing "Still Crazy After All These Years" while dressed as a turkey. Follow her to SNL throwbacks at @kristin_hunt.

The main definition of a miracle according to my computer's dictionary is, "a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency." Perhaps, with this definition, I should say this week's rice miracle wasn't really a miracle. There is explanation. However, the second definition listed is, "a highly improbable or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment that brings very welcome consequences. " I like the very welcome consequences part, so I think it's okay to stick with the word miracle. Do I have you wondering what rice and miracle are doing in the same sentence yet? (BTW, I was going for The Onion type of post title with this one).
I'll leave you in suspense no longer. Rice saved Josh's iPhone this week. Josh dropped his iPhone in water earlier this week. I was at work and I got an email that his phone would might be "out of commission." I emailed back saying RICE! I had read an article awhile ago (I can't remember the source - probably some blog I follow) saying how rice will save a phone from water damage. Josh also remembered this trick from an article last week. We are geeks, okay. Anyway, he was at school and I was at work. Upon our return home, we investigated the phone. There was moisture in the lens and it definitely wasn't turning on.
We started to plan for what to do? Buy a new iPhone 4? Get an older phone? Hmm. Tough call and bad timing. We decided to hold off for the night and try this rice trick. Apparently, the rice is dry and draws out the moisture from the phone. So we submerged the phone in rice overnight and waited.
The next morning during my break I got a text message from Josh...his phone was alive! A miracle - one with an explanation (something scientific), but one with that brought welcome consequences.

Waverly Labs is busy creating an earpiece that translates foreign languages in real time!
There is a newly innovated device that avid travellers are extremely excited about! It’s been designed by Waverly Labs to eliminate the language barrier between people who speak different languages. Frequent travellers often struggle to learn a new language; perhaps some visits are too short to even learn a new language so this device makes absolute sense.
So, how does the amazing gadget work?
The device comes in the form of a Bluetooth earpiece that translates languages as they are spoken. What? Absolutely! This piece of innovative technology is about to change how traveller interact with people in foreign land as they are able to understand more for basic things such directions to a place, the coolest bar in town, cheap motel, etc.
When can we expect the earpiece on the market?
Waverly Labs will be raising funds to build the pilot via Indiegogo; in the meantime the mobile app will serve as a basic travelling phrasebook for travellers this summer. We can expect the device itself in will ship in 2017. The package will feature the main translation unit, a second for stereo music streaming, a portable charger and an app that toggles the language for the earpiece to translate.
How much will the earpiece cost?
Good question. The company plans to sell the earpiece at US$299 with a selection of languages, which will be revealed. Apart from tech industry jobs, this may create an avenue for translation jobs across the world. The application will avail business solutions on a licence model based volume and will initially support European based languages and Germanic languages.
Additional languages will come later in the development of the software; Waverly Labs plans for the device to support Slavic, Semitic, Hindi, and East Asian which may result in more developer jobs for people interested in the technology.
You can visit Waverly Labs website for more information and the Indiegogo page has already been launched. With summer around the corner, we hope the app will launch according to the timeline and support more international languages; a continent like Africa has a lot international travellers so the device would be truly innovative for Europeans visiting African countries. An interesting development would be supporting dialects alongside mainstream languages.
Cool thing. And where such to buy?

What's the difference between a resort spa and a destination spa? If you're being extremely strict the difference would be that a destination spa offers a regime of treatments whereas a resort spa, with often the same facilities, offers these à la carte, i.e. you pick and choose.
There's often no difference at all between a resort spa and a hotel spa (if it's a nice hotel), although in some places, particularly Florida, as soon as a hotel starts calling itself a resort you may find an extra resort fee added to your bill.
As many so called destination spas can also offer à la carte services is there really any difference?

The Grammarphobia Blog: Can 'so don't I' mean 'so do I'?
Can ‘so don’t I’ mean ‘so do I’?
Q: There’s a grammatical quirk in northern New England in which a negative is used affirmatively: Example: “I love it when the leaves turn in the fall.” … “Oh, so don’t I. It’s my favorite time of year.” Any ideas where that might have come from?
Labov, an expert in the fields of sociolinguistics and regional variation, says the usage is common to eastern New England. It has also been called “the Massachusetts negative positive,” and research has shown that it extends into Maine.
The usage consists of the adverb “so,” followed by a negative auxiliary verb (“don’t,” “didn’t,” “can’t,” “couldn’t,” etc.), and a noun or pronoun subject.
It’s always spoken in response to an affirmative statement. And despite the negative “-n’t,” the speaker is being affirmative too.
Jim Wood, another Yale linguist, argues that there’s a shade of difference between a New Englander’s affirmative “so don’t I” and a straightforward “so do I.” A speaker who responds with “so don’t I,” he says, is correcting an assumption.
The study found that “so don’t I” had been recorded as far north as York, ME, as far south as New Haven, CT, and as far west as Erie, PA.
You can read more online about the Yale study’s “so don’t I” research, and see a map plotting its usage.

The Stevens Point Brewery is offering limited supply of spring seasonal in 24-bottle case.
STEVENS POINT - Point Bock, a spring seasonal beer offered by the Stevens Point Brewery, is now available for purchase for a limited time in Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota.
New this year, the beer is is available in 24-pack bottles and also on tap in select markets while supplies last.
Point Bock’s origins can be traced back to 1938, and the beer was resurrected by brewmaster Gabe Hopkins after he discovered an old recipe from the late 1970's in the brewery's archives. The logo for the beer features a goat's head, as “bock” means billy goat in German.
According to Joe Martino, the brewery's operating partner, bock is a centuries-old style of German lager beer traditionally brewed each year in winter for consumption starting in the early spring, which German immigrants brought to the United States in the mid-19th century. .
Point Bock is made using traditional German-style ingredients, including two-row and caramel barley malts and Tettnang hops imported from Bavaria.
For more information about the Stevens Point Brewery, please visit www.pointbeer.com. Tours of the brewery are available at 1 p.m. Monday through Friday and Saturdays at 11 a.m., 12 p.m., 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Through February the brewery is offering buy one, get one free on tour admission for Townie Tuesday - open to anyone with a Portage County address - and Thirsty Thursday - open to anyone with a valid University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point ID.

It must be true that opposites attract. Garry and Betsy Phillips didn’t agree on much of anything before they married. But today the couple agrees on one thing for sure—the United States must succeed in stabilizing a democratic government in Iraq. The stability of the whole Middle East hangs in the balance.
Garry (Martin ’77) and Betsy are directly involved in nurturing a democracy in the cradle of civilization. He is developing a U.S. Marshals Service–type organization for judicial security, while Betsy directs the Office of Joint Strategic Planning and Assessment at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
The Phillipses come from distinctly different backgrounds. He is a native of Paris, Tennessee, while she was reared in Michigan. Garry Phillips began a 20-year navy career shortly after graduating from high school and served embassy assignments in Tokyo and Sri Lanka. He retired from the navy in 1975, having completed 2 years of college while on active duty. He was accepted by UT Martin and graduated in 1977 with majors in political science and English. He taught English at Westview High School in Martin for 2 years and then worked in UT Martin’s Office of International Programs, where he taught English as a second language.
The two met at the University of West Florida in Pensacola, where they both earned master’s degrees in public administration. Both were selected for the Presidential Management Intern Program, which seeks about 200 people a year for federal government mid-management positions. When they arrived in Washington, neither knew anyone else, so they started spending a lot of time together and eventually married in 1985.
The Phillipses accumulated significant federal government experience before accepting their current appointments in Iraq. They share strong nonpartisan views about what has happened—and might happen—in Iraq, and both believe they can contribute to stability in the region by serving in this volatile part of the world. “I think what the United States and the multinational forces are doing in Iraq is very important to stability, not only in Iraq but also in the entire Middle East,” Garry Phillips says.
Betsy Phillips’s office is unique to the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, she says, in that the embassy works with the U.S. military and the other multinational forces in Iraq on long-range planning.
Although the challenges in Iraq are huge, Betsy Phillips says progress is being made. She says the Iraqis are moving at “warp speed” to establish an effective government, considering how many years it took the United States to accomplish the same thing. Iraq is divided into 18 provinces, which are roughly the equivalent of the states of the U.S. The good news, Garry Phillips says, is that 16 of 18 are doing well. “We are, one by one, ‘turning over’ those provinces to Iraqi local governments.
But while some things are working well, other aspects of the fledgling democracy are not. Crucial to the new government’s success is a functioning effective judicial system, and Garry Phillips’s main focus is to establish plans for a judicial protection service. Modeled after the U.S. Marshals Service, his group has developed a plan for protecting judges, witnesses, lawyers, and courthouses.
The Phillipses don’t have ordinary jobs, but then life in Iraq is anything but ordinary. They live in a trailer-like hooch that’s about 30 feet by 10 feet, with two rooms separated by a bathroom in the middle. They walk to work and arrive in their embassy offices by about 7 a.m. The three-story embassy building was once Saddam Hussein’s palace. The space Garry Phillips shares with about 40 other people was Hussein’s decision room, accented by a painting of Scud missiles “flying off into the air. It’s kind of garish,” he says.
He describes Iraq as “like a linchpin or a keystone in the Middle East,” with its population about 70 percent Shiite and 30 percent Sunni. “It is the only Arab country in the Middle East that is ruled by Shiites,” he says. Other surrounding countries—Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria—are Sunni.

Are you tempted by cottage cheese with butter and garlic?
Named after a famous Soviet comedy movie, Mimino is decorated with scenes of the movie. Opened at the end of June 2013, it's one out of the four eateries at Piazza Batumi, specialising in Georgian cuisine.
The restaurant serves a range of traditional, as well as modern interpretation of local dishes.
I was tempted by the description of the dish that says cottage cheese, butter and garlic. I know this may sound weird, but the shaved cottage cheese somewhat reminded me of chee cheong fun (Chinese rice noodle roll) in terms of texture. The dish was a tad heavy, and I was hoping that it'd be more garlicky.
Known as a traditional eggplant stew of the Caucasus to international audience, the ajapsandali served that afternoon was pleasant. The local style vegetable ragout featured a potpourri of eggplants, bell peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and garlic. Pika's advice: Take note that it's a seasonal dish, which may not be available everyday.
The trout presented before my eyes was acceptably fresh, but the flesh wasn't as sweet as those I had in Samikitno and Chela Funicular in Tbilisi. It was a pity that there were only two very thin slices of lemon on the side. It'd certainly be great to have some fresh lemon juice on the fish.
Kharcho is a traditional Georgian soup containing beef, rice, cherry plum purée and chopped English walnut, served with finely chopped coriander leaves. I enjoyed it as it was mildly flavourful, but the unique taste lingered on the tongue. Despite the fact that there were only two pieces of beef, they were quite tender.
Here's another flavour of the ubiquitous lemonade in the country. My BFF and I agreed that it seemed to be sweeter than the rest, but fragrant nonetheless.
Anyway, the comedy movie that was released on 27 March 1978 seems to be quite highly rated.

В четверг, 15 апреля 2010 года, в 15:40 в конференц-зале НМУ, Б. Власьевский 11, состоится доклад «Could N=8 supergravity provide a consistent theory of quantum gravity?». Докладчик – Pierre Vanhove (IHES and U.Paris-7, France).
The search for a valid construction of quantum gravity has been on for most of the previous century initiated by Einstein?s formulation of General Relativity in 1916 and the quantum mechanics revolution in the 1920ties. Physicists today are still hunting the answers to the ultimate questions, e.g. how was the universe formed and how does one comprehend the fabric of space and time?
In recent years, by a combination of different inputs from string theory, supersymmetry, unitarity and due to remarkable progress in computational capacity, a huge number of amplitudes have been computed in N=8 supergravity. Surprisingly the ultraviolet behavior of N = 8 supergravity is much better behaved than naively expected and it has revived the possibility that this theory could provide a perturbatively ultraviolet finite theory of quantum gravity. But any consistent theory of quantum gravity must describe the production of black holes at high energies which requires the inclusion of string theory state, which are needed to get a complete consistent theory of quantum gravity.
In this talk we will present the recent conceptual progress in the analysis of perturbative supergravity and the role of the dualities in string theory. We will discuss in particular the relation between string theory and N=8 supergravity and the importance of the non-perturbative state in the definition of a consistent quantum theory of gravity. Based on work done with Niels Emil Bjerrum-Bohr, Michael B Green, Jorge Russo.

In situations where the biological parents’ rights have been terminated due to abuse or neglect, the county agency works to find a permanent home for the children. The process happens in county social service agencies throughout the state of Minnesota; and at any one time, there may be several hundred children waiting for homes across the state.
The Nobles County Adoption process often starts with families becoming licensed for foster care who also want to be considered as a concurrent home for possible adoption.
Before parental rights are terminated, concerted effort is made to try and rectify the situation that led to the removal of the child or children and placement in a foster care situation. A family needs to be willing to provide foster care, knowing that the situation may or may not lead to the adoption of the child.
If interested in adoption, you will need to go through the same licensing process as one does to become a foster parent. Please check our child foster care web page for more details.
Whenever a child is placed into care, the agency is obligated to consider relatives who are able and willing to provide care for the child, on either a temporary or permanent basis. A placement for a child begins as a temporary situation, while the agency works with parents to try to rectify the situation that led to abuse or neglect. If reunification is unsuccessful, a permanent home for the child will then be found.
All children who are placed must be in licensed homes, so if a relative agrees to be a placement resource, they will be expected to comply with the licensing process.

Today will mark the 74th anniversary of the death of Mother Maria of Paris in Ravensbruck Concentration Camp. In case you needed a short reminder, Mother Maria was rounded up by the Nazis in Paris in 1943 after they uncovered a letter implicating her son, Yuri, and Father Dimitri Kelpinin in a scheme that involved forging false baptismal certificates for the Jews in the poor neighborhood around Rue de Roumel. Since 1932 when she was tonsured a nun, Mother Maria was managing a home for the destitute, the mentally and physically handicapped, a sanctuary for the many refugee Russian emigres who had fled the Bolshevik Revolution. Had the Gestapo gotten word about how she had orchestrated a rescue plan along with the sanitation workers that involved hiding Jewish children in garbage cans and then transferring them to her house in darkness where they eventually would get transported via bakery trucks and other commercial vehicles to the South of France, they would have rounded her up sooner. (An illustrated children’s book tells this story Silent as a Stone).
Their involvement in the Resistance eventually did them in. While her son Yuri and Fr. Dimitri Kelpinin perished in Dora camp near Buchenwald within several months of arriving there, Mother Maria who had been used to hard labor and difficult living conditions, managed to survive for several more. Eventually her health started failing her as she was used to giving away the meager portions of bread to her other prisoners. Her other workmates remembered how she was always joyful. As an idealist with deep sensitivity, she had a way of seeing the beauty even in monstrosity. On the 30th of March, it so happened that Good Friday fell on that day in the year 1945, Maria Skobotska even though she was not chosen, asked to stand in the place of another woman prisoner. The following day, Holy Saturday, she was led into the gas chambers and surrendered her soul. The shell fire of the Red Army could be heard in the distance signaling the liberation of France. The end of the war would be weeks away.
That is the question that started the quest for Anberin Pasha. She and Emanuel Sebau are the producers behind the recent documentary film Love To the End. Anberin who studied film making in the US is of Indian descent became a convert to Orthodoxy. She fell in love with Orthodox theology because of its insistence on love. She moved back to the US from Serbia where she had been living with her husband to study theology at Holy Cross Seminary in Brookline, Massachusetts. She wanted to find the answer to this burning question: How can human beings, whose love is so limited, love so completely? The answer was not an intellectual exercise; it is embodied in the figure of Mother Maria.
Anberin observes that the life of Mother Maria traces the stages of theosis, the path to salvation necessary for every Orthodox Christian. Elizaveta Yurievna Pilenko, her name before she became a nun, had rejected God after the death of her father. She lived a bohemian life, writing poetry and living among the intelligentsia. It took the death of her daughter Anastasia to bring her to repentance. In her letters she confessed, “. . .I am aghast at my own insignificance . . .I feel that my soul has meandered down back alleys all my life. And now I want an authentic and purified road. Not out of faith in life, but in order to justify, understand and accept death …. No amount of thought will ever result in any greater formulation than the three words, ‘Love one another,’ so long as it is love to the end and without exceptions. And then the whole of life is illumined, which is otherwise an abomination and a burden.” (Essential Writings).
The film also features the testimony of noted scholar/ historian Jim Forest; he was instrumental in publishing the story of Mother Maria of Paris after her canonization in 2004 in the form of a children’s book.
When a sister nun told me the story about Mother Maria’s life, the one thought that stayed with me was that there was no limit to her love. I asked myself is that humanly possible to love the ‘other’ so completely? What was this love? I had to know how a human being could come so close to God’s divine love. So I traveled all the way from Serbia to Holy Cross School of Theology in Brookline, Mass. to learn how we can be as Mother Maria was, an embodiment of love.
Why do you think Mother Maria of Paris is a saint particularly suited to speak to us in the 21st century?
Love to the End really attempts to show how the life of Saint Maria of Paris manifests and transforms the lives of three American women who develop a relationship with her as they struggle with different challenges.
The model that Mother Maria of Paris presents for us is this—that through love and especially the love for the Cross and for Christ—we can transcend the suffering of our lives. We are very broken; our lives will be fraught with disappointment and suffering.
Perhaps that is the answer that Mother Maria of Paris gives with her life: that you can transcend loss, pain, disappointment, disillusionment and grief when you love till the end. Like Christ, it is love that transcends the world. How do you acquire that love? It must be through Christ. For only through Love itself can you love. Only Christ’s love can save the world; it is mind-boggling and illogical, but it is the only vehicle for salvation.

Authorities in California are sharing one woman’s terrifying footage of her escape from the Woolsey Fire in Malibu – hoping it will serve as a lesson to others about heeding evacuation warnings.
Rebecca Hackett posted the Instagram video of her escape from the fire on Friday.
“I felt the strongest wind I ever felt in my life. The fire came so quickly. One minute it was calm and then suddenly they were on top of us, so we had to evacuate,” she told ABC30 in Fresno.
“I drove through flames for about two minutes. I thought I was going to die. I’m down in the valley now but there is still smoke everywhere,” Hackett added.
In the recording, Hackett can be seen driving through a tunnel and emerging into an inferno that she admits she was lucky to survive.
Two people have been confirmed killed in the Southern California wildfire. At least 48 others died in the Camp Fire in Northern California.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department shared the video on Twitter, accompanied with a warning about the perils of a fast-moving fire.
“This very graphic video shows the dangers of a fast moving fire and how important it is to leave affected areas after fire officials declare an evacuation order,” read the tweet.

As a youngster in the late seventies, I never would have guessed that 2017 would be a big year for trolls. Some of my earliest memories involve obsessing over the Moomins, cute trollish creatures from Scandinavia that looked like bipedal hippos. A couple years later my focus shifted to the book Gnomes, by Will Huygen, which depicts gnomes’ hidden struggles against monstrous trolls bent on capturing and eating them. These hirsute, grisly depictions of the enemy affected my dreams. Then, the Rankin & Bass illustrated edition of The Hobbit carried me deeper into fantasy; I wanted to be the characters in that world, fight against the same foes, or better yet, make friends with the trolls, goblins, and elves. I couldn’t get enough of Norse and Greek mythology, fascinated not as much by the famous exploits of the gods, but with the less defined stories of the giants, titans, and lesser monsters that had existed before the gods were even born.
What were these ancient elemental beings that were bound to the land only to fight and fall against the civilizing press of humanity? Why have they fascinated me, and so many others, since childhood and into adulthood? The world “troll” comes from Old Norse, and refers to an ill-defined class of supernatural beings from Norse and Scandinavian folklore. Some saw them as cognates of “giants” and “elves,” but over the centuries “trolls” have taken on an identity unto themselves—at times similar and/or related to both giants and elves, or perhaps even the result of shared blood between the two species.
Today, we have seen a resurgence of “trolls” in popular consciousness: as petty people that revel in sowing discord on the Internet; an animated movie voiced by some of our most adorable celebrities; Trollhunters is a hit Netflix show by one of our era’s fantasy masters, Guillermo del Toro; and Neil Gaiman has produced a fresh bestseller by returning to the Old Norse tales from whence the trolls first came.
My trolls in Cold Counsel, SLUD and Agnes, are amalgams of the depictions in all these books, and many others. They are calculating and powerful, possessing of ancient wisdom and still hungry to learn, flawed and complex, yet sometimes base and simplistic at the same time. Equal parts dangerous and inviting, they are the watchers over dark dreams and bright nightmares. I wanted to uncover their histories and secrets; I hope you do too.
Chris Sharp grew up in the suburban wonderland of Alexandria, VA, where he cut his nerd teeth playing role-playing games and making gore movies with his friends. He studied English Literature and Anthropology at Brown University, and Mayan Archaeology at the Harvard Field School in Honduras. He then spent sixteen years in Brooklyn, NY, where he worked in film and commercial production by day, and was yet another wannabe novelist by night. His epic fantasy novel, Cold Counsel, is available from Tor.com Publishing. Chris now lives in Concord, MA, with his wife, daughter and an insufferable cat named Goblin.

Patriotic Hanging Fans is rated 3.2 out of 5 by 10.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DENISEINTEXAS from Nice quality I didn't get a chance to use them this year, but I was very happy with the quality and color. Color looks just like the picture shown online.
Rated 2 out of 5 by close3107 from Not very sturdy We bought these to use on our boat for a lake parade. The quality was not very good. It was windy that day and they immediately turned wrong side out. Didn't end up using them. Would not purchase again.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Owls9999 from Nice patterns, but overpriced Within an hour of putting these up, the big red, white and blue one broke. (the fan part separated from the glue panel.) The patterns are really nice, and have a great vintage flair, but the fans only have designs on one side, and they seemed sort of brittle as they were unfolded. I would not have paid this much for decorations so fragile / likely to break.
Rated 2 out of 5 by GinaLoch from Won't buy again Very pretty but only printed on one side. Tape didn't work I had to use clear tape to get them to stick together. One was completely damaged and unusable.
Rated 4 out of 5 by ClaraHuson from Look nice We are using them for a window display in a business and have them hanging at different heights. Nice touch for summer.
Rated 4 out of 5 by barleymow56 from Good quality. Wish color on both sides. My only beef with this fine quality product is that the print is only on one side. When the fan twirls around, it's just white.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Krisleon180 from Patriotic Hanging Fans These fans were easy to put together and came with string to hang them. They came with little sticky pieces already attached so you had to peel off the backing and press the fan together. They have not stuck very well at all, and will need some kind of secondary reinforcement like tape around the tops or some such. I really like the colors and the quality of the materials though. Simple to put together, worth the money. One set can create a montage effect if that is what you are going for. The varying sizes are great!
Rated 1 out of 5 by AngieGold from Poor quality - I would not purchase again The print and color was only on one side of each hanging fan. It was completely blank one side when it spun around. The items also folded in half and would not hang correctly.
The hanging fans are made out of paper.
