27 Dec / Christmas Pancakes
One of my favorite things is to cook for friends & family using wheat-free, dairy-free, and no/low sugar foods. Of course, I don't tell them right away that they are about to eat amazingly delicious and healthy food. I watch them take their first bite, love it, and THEN I tell them how healthy the food is.
That's what happened Christmas morning. I made breakfast for my dad – blueberry pancakes. I LOVE Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix. It's the best!
Follow the "Pamela's Pancakes" recipe on the back of the package and add organic blueberries (I purchased and froze from this summer at the Beaverton Farmer's Market.)
Smother in Smart Balance Light and SpringTree SugarFree Syrup (the best!). I couldn't find a link to a website for this syrup, but you can find it at almost any grocery or health food store. I've tried all of the sugar-free syrups out there and this one is DELICIOUS.
This is a great weekend or special occasion breakfast. And the carb coma isn't too bad. Try some turkey sausage links from New Seasons for added protein.

Post CAT 2012 result , you are aware of that now you will be tested for WAT (written Ability Test) by IIMs. For the purpose of practice you may read WAT topic:
What will you do if you are out of competition?
When someone says he is out of competition, it basically means that he tried to compete with his counterparts but his skills were not on par with his competitors. So, he was taken out of the competition. We all have come across this situation at least once in our lives.
At sports competitions, at school plays and in the corporate arena, we have heard this phrase being used extensively. In sports competitions, there are several rounds before selection of players is made for the final round. During these preliminary rounds, players are shortlisted based on their skills. So, what do you do if you are out of competition at a sports event? Instead of moping about it, you should hone your skills. Find out your weak areas from your trainer and improve your skills so that you can compete once again.
This is what competitive spirit is all about. No one is perfect. We have our sets of strengths and weaknesses. So, when we are not on par with the level of competition around us, we should work hard on our weaknesses.
Similarly, many films do not make it to international and local film festivals. So, the director, producer and the cast of the film should look into the possible problems in the film and improve upon them in the upcoming films. Additionally, they should analyze films that made it to the competition to learn the positive traits of a film.
Apart from skills, some people get thrown out of competitions because they use illegal means of entering competitions. Especially in sports competitions, drug testing is carried out on athletes. If an athlete is found guilty of resorting to illegal means of entering sports competitions, he/she will immediately be thrown out of the game. So, in this case, one should take the help of rehabilitation experts and mend his ways to excel at his job.
So, if you are out of competition, it does not mean that the world has ended. It only means that it is time to improve upon your existing set of skills and work harder to stay in the race. Get the help of experts to understand your weak points so that you don't repeat your mistakes on the competition grounds.

Which is correct and why?
English Teacher
Which is correct and why?
The word yesterday makes all the difference here. It provides a time frame, and that makes all the difference. You can say I have seen him today, but you can't say I have seen him yesterday. I suppose the reason for that is that while saw refers to the past, have seen is about both the past and the present.
How's that?
The reason why I've chosen "saw" is that it's known that you can only use Perfect time when the action is continuing, when it's not finished, no matter whether you use it in the past, in the present or in the future , which I often when happen to have a problem with. But one thing is for sure that there's no way you can use yesterday with Perfect time. But you can use it when talking about today, as the action is not finished yet.
'Yesterday' is finished time, so use the past. 'Today' is different- we use both.
What do you mean by saying "we use both"? Oh, I've just remembered that I've happened to come across in the books "yesterday" to be used with the Past Perfect time. Is taht correct? :wink:Originally Posted by tdol
I could say 'I haven't had lunch today', unfinished time and I expect to have lunch. If I have left my office and am on the bus home I could say 'I did a lot of work today'. Here, the day has not ended, but the working part has and I don't expect to do any more work.

Unlike the thick inner volume of the pear head, this cheap hair extensions gives a feeling of warmth and beauty. When trimming, pay attention to the tail of the real hair extensions must be cut from high to low level, roll up and send it to have this effect. This hair style can be brushed out by a hair extensions dryer and a reel, and it is also possible to use no special hot.

Chief Minister Andrew Barr made his 'State of the Territory' Speech today. It was quite wide ranging, with a theme of 'Ambition and Advantage' with innovation at its core. These are excerpts of his comments on light rail, integrated transport and autonomous vehicles:
Introduction: Ambition and Advantage
Today I want to talk with you about the ambition and advantage of Canberra. A year ago, at this event, I outlined my vision for the Territory as Chief Minister: a vision of Canberra taking control of its own future. A vision for a Canberra that relies on no one's efforts but our own. One of the world's most liveable and competitive cities – welcoming to all. And I outlined a plan to deliver on this vision:
By constructing a modern transport network; by creating a more economically self-reliant Canberra that drives job creation in emerging industries; and by conceiving of Canberra as a true "knowledge capital", where our world-class universities have structural advantages over their Australian and international competitors.
We have made significant practical progress towards this ambition over the past year:
Light rail
For example, we are getting on with the city-defining project that will help Canberra avoid the productivity-crushing, and morale-destroying, traffic congestion that characterises most other Australian cities.
I spent some time here last year outlining the fundamental benefits that an efficient, reliable light rail system will deliver for the fastest-growing parts of Canberra, as well as driving economic growth and urban renewal along the corridor.
In the year since, we have finalised our comprehensive assessment of shortlisted bidders, and selected a world-class consortium including John Holland and Mitsubishi Corporation with Deutsche Bahn International as the operator.
That is a strong endorsement of our city in itself: these world-class partners have a proven international track record, and they want to do business here in Canberra.
The competitive nature of the procurement meant that costs have come in well under what we originally allowed for.
To put it in context, the total cost will be equivalent to less than one per cent of the ACT Budget over the next 20 years.
Comparatively speaking, for every dollar we're budgeting for light rail, we're investing $10 into our roads, footpaths and parks.
Just as we promised before the 2012 election, work will start this year – construction of the first stage will be completed in late 2018 – and operations will begin in early 2019 – sooner than previous estimates, meaning less disruption and faster access for Canberrans.
Simply, for a city the size of ours, at the stage of development we have reached, this is the right project, at the right time, at the right price.
Transport integration
Last year I also made the point that this project is part of an integrated public transport system for our city – essential now, and absolutely critical to Canberra's ongoing success 20 years from now.
Since then the Government has released our Transport Improvement Plan and Light Rail Network Plan, which set out clearly how every Canberran benefits from a transport network that is convenient, reliable, affordable and efficient. It is mirrored by the Chamber's Destination 2030's support for an integrated transport network.
Work has begun. A single agency, Transport Canberra, will commence on 1 July to join the bus and light rail operations, our road network and walking and riding infrastructure.
Transport Canberra's key deliverable is: one network, one ticket and one fare.
We must do this to achieve our future ambitions; and consolidate our current advantages.
If we want life in this city to keep its essential character, integrated public transport is an absolute must.
That will be our competitive advantage over every other major East Coast city.
I will be taking to the election a commitment to extend the light rail to the next stage. The Parliamentary triangle is an obvious extension, and beyond that the airport is very, very close.
Autonomous vehicles
And it's why we are pursuing opportunities in semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles. We recognise the mobility and growth benefits that will flow from attracting one or more of the major players to Canberra.
Autonomous vehicles are not a mass transit solution and they are not the solution to congestion. But they are a very promising complement to strong public transport networks and will give mobility to those who need it most, which will make our city even more inclusive.
That's why we have been engaging with the main players in this space – companies like Google and Tesla – to see what structures they need, so that we have the best idea of future advances before we move to develop a particular regulatory regime. That approach worked for ridesharing in the ACT, and it will work for this technology too.
ACT companies, such as Seeing Machines, are also at the forefront of technology supporting autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles with the work they are doing here and with overseas research partners.

7 Tips for Scheduling Travel Arrangements for Your Boss
Date Posted: 03/25/2013
Hard working executive assistants may need to set up business travel for their bosses from time to time. Whether through a travel agent, direct through the airlines website, or by online methods to compare and contrast flight/hotel/car packages, executive assistants will need to know the best practices available.
Below are 7 tips to scheduling travel arrangements for your boss. Read on!
Tip #1 – Understand the Travel Agenda
Potential questions to be answered prior to setting up a trip may include:
- When are the bosses' meetings scheduled?
- Will the flight arrive in enough time to allow for a relaxed ride to the first meeting?
- Are their any earlier flights in order to allow for a full night's rest?
- Is there a direct flight available instead of connecting flights?
- Is there Wi-Fi available on the flight to allow the boss to work while in the air?
- Are there any better connecting flight options which offer a shorter layover?
Tip #2 – Search Multiple Sources
With the questions answered, booking flights, hotels, and/or car services, comes next. For websites, take a look at:
- Kayak
- Yahoo FareChase
- Booking.com
- Travelocity
- Priceline
- Hipmunk
- Expedia
With Kayak, the searcher will be able to compare other sites — Priceline, Virgin America, Travelocity, Expedia, and Bookit.com — to Kayak's prices to find the lowest offerings available. For days trips without the need for a hotel stay, head directly to the airline's official webpage in order to compare prices solely for the flight itself.
Tip #3 – Package the Trip
Package air, hotel, and car, if possible. According to Desk Demon, executive assistants can save anywhere from 5% to 50% when trip amenities are packaged together instead of purchased separately.
Tip #4 – Make Life Easier
In the event of an unexpected flight delay or missed connection, a smartphone app likeHotel Tonight can help assistants find last-minute lodging for much less money then they would normally pay. The boss won't be stuck in the airport or have to scramble to change the lodgings.
In addition, GateGuru offers stranded travelers at the airport — and even those who aren't stranded — with options for food and shopping within the airport in order to simplify searching out food and supplies.
Tip #5 – Minimize Unnecessary Travel Clutter
An app like TripIt offers a way in which to cut down on travel materials such as flight confirmation numbers, hotel confirmation numbers, restaurant reservations, and other paper-based clutter. Instead of taking every one of the confirmation printouts, forward the travel arrangements (i.e.: all confirmation emails from air, car, and hotel) to the TripIt account.
Executive assistants can then put every pertinent detail — such as flight, hotel, or restaurant dates and times — onto the bosses' smartphone or tablet. Thus, it will be one all-inclusive, easy-to-digest itinerary for them that's as convenient as reaching into their pants or jacket pocket.
And no matter the particular "smart "device — BlackBerry, Windows Phone, iPad, iPhone, or Android — the TripIt app works on all of the aforementioned products.
Tip #6 – Location, Location, Location!
Understand the bosses seat preferences: aisle, window, or — gasp! — middle. And book accordingly.
Tip #7 – Keep the Boss Informed
CNN Money offers ideas for apps such as FlightTrack ($4.99) to help travelers find up-to-the-minute flight information, such as:
- Seat availability via SeatGuru
- Baggage claim locations
- Gate changes
- Potential flight delays, and more!
The $10 Pro version of FlightTrack will alert business travelers to any delays and/or gate changes prior to finding out the hard way. In addition, business travelers will be able to sync up with TripIt for a fully functioning travel guide in the palm of their hand.
Thus, for those scheduling travel arrangements for your boss, finding a comfortable, simple, and budget-conscious trip package for them doesn't have to be rocket science. Use these tips and get scheduling successfully today!

Amfetamines have certain therapeutic uses, but misuse potential is high.
No medication has proven effective in breaking the misuse cycle.
Aggressive psychological and sociological interventions are needed to reduce the high recidivism rate.
Amfetamine use disorder involves the recreational use (other than for an approved medical indication) of a class of non-catecholamine sympathomimetic amines - specifically, amfetamines, metamfetamines, and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamfetamine (MDMA, also known as ecstasy), misused by oral and intravenous routes, nasal insufflation (snorting) and inhalation (smoking), resulting in either acute or chronic toxicity. Although these compounds have been used to improve alertness, enhance performance, reduce appetite, and improve concentration in attention deficit disorders, the misuse potential is high.

The biggest problem, though, may be that AltSchool's ceilings are filled with surveillance cameras and microphones that they say help teachers look back at "breakthrough" moments throughout the day and learn more about their learners and classrooms. They say they are preparing kids for the workplaces of the future. Far from challenging students to think critically about our societies, this will only serve to prepare kids for the frightening and constant surveillance we all endure in industrialized countries today. Their growth will likely be deeply stunted as they internalize the fact that this for-profit enterprise is deciding whether they pass or fail each step of the way, and given that they are always watching, it is best for the 4 year old or 14 year old to never, ever step out of line.
Here is how the article describes the surveillance:
"What is a castle?—that was your starting question today," the teacher said. After the girl wrote a response, on paper, the teacher snapped a photograph of the page, in order to upload it to the girl's playlist card.
She might also send it to a parent's phone, using AltSchool Stream, an app that enables instant communication between home and school. Meanwhile, above the students' heads, a network of white audio recorders hung from the ceiling, and fish-eye lenses were embedded in the walls. The goal of this surveillance system, AltVideo, is to capture every word, action, and interaction, for potential analysis...
Teachers also wanted faster access to the video recordings of their classrooms, to better evaluate students' breakthrough moments, or to see what was going wrong when the classroom grew disorderly. Currently, Johnson said, teachers were using Slack, the group-messaging app, to alert her when there was a moment in the classroom that they wished to review. She'd watch the footage in order to find the right clip to bookmark, then send a link to the teacher through e-mail. This process could take days. "That would be a cool thing to automate," she said.
Contrary to the school's stated goals (I mean their goals after their legally mandated goal of gaining profit) as communicated in the article, this school is set up to ensure that critical thought is rarely if ever expressed. Surveillance and quantitative assessment of everything will only help to quell visionary thinking that bucks trends and challenges those in charge, and to convince learners to believe that anything without a number attached to it, whether it is a song or a conversation or something else, is not really worth much in the 'real' world.
It is clear that there are numerous problems with the education system in the United States. It is slow, it is impersonal and has built a pyramid of standardized tests that have harmed educators and learners alike. The system needs to change. It needs to build human interaction into every facet of the day. It needs to challenge kids to experiment with problem solving; to succeed and to fail without the constant knowledge that they are being watched and reviewed. It needs to call on young people to see themselves as important members of communities. Despite the company's insistence that it is only for teacher's use, this surveillance footage can find its way into the hands of third party sales people, used as leverage, or simply kept aside to be used at some later date. After all, these are people who put all of their eggs in the big data basket. They think big data will solve it all, so getting rid of data like that footage could be determined to be sacrilegious in their book; Counter-revolutionary for the digital revolution as envisioned by the rich and homogeneous capitalists of Silicon Valley.
The system that AltSchool is setting up is dangerous. It puts kids at risk and therefore puts us all at risk. We should be building a society based on critical thought and action as well as genuine human interaction, with technological advancements at our side helping us as we move forward, not hovering above us recording every single picked nose and test answer. What we need is an education system that is learner-centered and focused on critical pedagogy that challenges us to learn technology, art, science, math, and one another. Instead we are getting algorithm-centered data gathering from a for-profit startup.

If you've trudged in the eternal abyss that is Reddit, you might have come across "AMAs", or Ask Me Anything's.
An AMA is a great way for a public figure to connect with the public.
Anyone with a Reddit account can login and interview whoever they like, from cell tower climbers to tech CEOS, interacting with individuals around the world.
For a leader of a well-known brand, it's a fantastic way for the internet community to get to know you on a personal level.
AMAs for Instagram Stories
While Reddit used to be the go-to platform to host and participate in AMAs, Instagram recently released a new AMA type update for Stories, which will rival Reddit.
Instagram users can now leave a question box sticker in their Stories, which prompts viewers to input any questions that they have.
Users view these questions, and respond to them in separate individual Stories.
With 400 million users using Instagram Stories, there's no shortage of questions and answers being given.
The AMA sticker feature provides users with a fun, and potentially educational, way to interact with other Instagrammers.
And from Instagram's perspective, it's a way to increase time spent on their platform.
With their recent native payment updates, more time spent on Instagram can likely lead to more sales for the social media giant. It makes perfect sense, as monetizing is the usually the eventual step of most social networks.
But how can other businesses take advantage of AMAs? Let's take a look at some ways.
Attract millennial customers with "AMAs"
Consumers don't fall in love with the colors of a brand's logo, but with the aspirations of the leader that represents the business vision.
They like Tesla because they believe in Elon Musk, they buy Apple because Steve Job is inspiring, and they swear by Amazon because Jeff Bezos is a genius.
Millennials and generation Y represent one of the largest portion of active social media users – for businesses, this means you can't ignore them.
In particular, they crave more than just fair prices and quality products. They want an evocative experience and a personal connection with the people they're buying from.
Essentially, they want to be told a story. Ideally, one that aligns with their morals and interests. And the secret to attracting them is creating an experience that matters.
Whether it's eco-friendly clothing or organic vegetables, small business owners have to ensure that their customers know who they are and what they stand for.
As a small business owner, inviting people to ask you questions allows them to learn more about who you are, what your business is and what both of you have to offer.
This exactly where AMAs can come into play.
Every SMB owner in existence should already be active on social media. There's simply too much upside and too little risk to not be taking advantage of it.
However, it's no easy task to grow your audience and an AMA can expose your brand to a new community.
There are several other reasons you should be using AMAs to help you grow your brand, let's take a look at them.
Understand your customers better
AMA can be a lucrative marketing tactic because not knowing what people are going to ask you can be pretty scary.
What if they ask for your university GPA or daily workout routine? The truth is that while the unknown can be a scary place, unexpected results can provide unexpected rewards.
This is because open dialogue with consumers gives you comprehensive knowledge about your audience and their needs, which can better inform other aspects of your marketing strategy.
Imagine you're a clothing brand and you hear in an AMA countless consumers ask when you're going to be releasing a fashion line for women. If you were planning on further expanding your men's clothing line, these concerned citizens may have you reconsidering.
Similarly, if the majority of consumers ask about the price of your newest product or if it's biodegradable, this tells you that these factors matter.
AMAs help you dive in to the curiosity of your audience and learn what they've always wanted to know about your brand.
Make your business more personal
We're always taught to be wary of strangers.
This age-old lesson translates to business quite well, whether it be double-checking contracts for potential loopholes or requiring a personal reference before speaking with a foreign business client.
"If Cindy said that's the best price she can do, I believe her."
Buying and selling with a friend is familiar because there's a relationship already established.
For this reason, AMA shouldn't be all business.
You can share personal stories and anecdotes about how and why you started your brand. Tell people about your struggles, road to success and everything in between.
Not only can this improve your relationship with and understanding of the people in your network, it can also make consumers more likely to trust you and your brand.
Always Be Learning
What's incredible about AMAs on Reddit, and now, Instagram is that they provide a unique platform for learning and understanding.
Talking to a real-life astronaut or someone who is dealing with family problems can have a powerful impact on people's lives.
However, small business owners also have a lot to offer to the internet community. As they are often tasked with countless responsibilities that are usually divided amongst a team(from accounting, to human resources, to marketing) ,they can provide tons of free advice, tips and resources to people in similar situations.
AMA can be used as a platform to help other professionals with problems that you've already faced and conquered.
Similarly, you can participate in other AMAs to learn more about a certain field or industry.
What Are You Waiting For?
There's a reason why the word "amazing" starts with AMA.
There are countless ways that conducting AMAs for your brand can help your business becoming more personal, build trust, and educate your customers.
Once you've established a decent-sized network of individuals interested in your wares, start interacting with them via AMAs.
Ask them what matters most to them in a business, how they like to shop, or what their favorite color is.
There's no time like the present to try out your first one on Reddit or Instagram Stories. Don't fret, there's plenty of tools and resources to help you on your journey.

Hostess: Sandie
Scripture Inspiration: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Challenge: "TIME" - Use clocks/watches, calendars, sundials, etc. OR black and white only (to represent night and day).
Sponsor: Inspired Stamps who graciously sent our Design Team some wonderful clear acrylic stamps to inspire you!! One player will receive a $15 credit to spend in their store!!
I started on a flip over calendar for next year, starting with December 2012. The Scripture verse is from our sponsor, Inspired Stamps, the layered Christmas poinsettia is from the "Deck the Halls Colored Digi set" and I'm super excited about the matching Deck the Halls Digi Paper Pack (both available at Daydream Designs)! The stand and sleeves are from Taylored Expressions. I hope to create a new page for each month of the year and share with you as I go.
The digi papers are already sized to 6x6" which was exactly the size for the sleeves. So I pasted the digi paper into a Word Document. Then I pasted a December calendar from my Publisher program on top of it and printed it out. Then I also printed (3) of the poinsettia so I could cut parts of it out and pop dot the layers. The fancy frame around my verse is from My Favorite Things.
and here's a (bad grainy pic-sorry) of the 3 layered poinsettia that I pop dotted for dimension.
Diane Noble did a bang up job designing this gorgeous poinsettia, candle, candy canes, wreaths and my favorite... a cardinal in the Deck the Halls Digi Set! You can check out all the Deck the Hall items HERE.

I am at the beginning of my derby montage. My godfather pointed this out after I failed my WFTDA's for the third time. In flat track roller derby, a player must pass a skills and endurance test in order to play other teams. We do this for insurance purposes, hence the WFTDA (Woman's Flat Track Derby Association) skills test. You know how in a movie, the lead character struggles and then they rock? They play some power music or "Eye of the Tiger", Rocky punches some meat, the baseball team gets good, the hockey player can now ice skate. That's how it works right?
Well, no. Or, at least not yet. Some girls start roller derby and pass their skills super-fast. Some girls pick it up in months. For some of us, however, these skills take time – a lot of time. Muscles are not quite where they need to be. Muscle memory is not quite where it needs to be. It's not for lack of trying…but derby is hard. It takes work and it takes more than a few quick cuts to be good. (This analogy works with my editing degree).
I have never had to work for something as hard as I am working for derby. And even though I "failed" three times, I am now MORE resolved than ever to get my body derby-ready. Because, what I realized, not passing the WFTDA skills is not the same as failing. I am still learning and improving so much. I can do real, grown-up squats! I can run faster! I have some endurance! I do Pilates, yoga, circuit train, and lift weights! Sometimes I even knock another girl down on skates or do a really great cross-over. My biggest triumph this week was finishing 2 hours of skills tests in the grueling heat when every ounce of my being wanted me to quit.
I hope when I get older and look back on my own montage, I remember every triumph and every tribulation I am experiencing right now. Triumphs like playing in our intra-league bout and having my parents and friends cheering for me. Sharing my love of derby with my pretty rad boyfriend. Watching my team play really great derby at interleague games. Experiences like beard and mustache competitions, road trips with Heather Hollywood and Black-Eyed Blondie, terrible pole-dancing classes with Lola Pop, and Corona rita's with Deny-Ya Twain. Tribulations like all the bumps, bruises, and "failure's" – not to mention forcing my out-of shape body to move again after all these years.
Ladies who tested with me, I am so proud of each one of us. To those who passed, I cannot wait to see you tear up that track and play other teams! I will be cheering my lungs out! To those ladies who "failed" with me, we are learning and we are growing and we are ROCKING. We are going to get there if we keep fighting and working, and I believe in each one of us!
So who wants to watch a movie without a bit of trial and tribulation? BO-RING! I don't know about you, but I do NOT want my life movie to be boring.
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.

The first weekend of summer is going to be a cloudy one this year, but for most of the country at least it will be dry.
Low cloud will create a "dirty high" across both islands, with scattered showers and light winds for parts of the top and bottom ends of the country.
"It's not going to be as sunny this weekend for the country as a whole than if it was a cleaner high, said MetService meteorologist Tom Adams.
As far as temperature goes however, people could expect more of the same this weekend.
A south westerly wind in the south of the South Island would make things a little chillier through to tomorrow before a north westerly wind returned to warm things up again on Sunday.
"This high sticks around for the North Island but there is a front approaching the south," he said."
The lower east coast of the South Island would see several "scrappy" showers on Saturday as the front moved through.
"Hopefully the rain will miss the Santa parade in Invercargill," Adams said.
The front should peter out before it reached the North Island.
Today in the north of the North Island this morning people could expect scattered showers, clearing by afternoon.
Thanks to low cloud overnight temperatures shouldn't drop too much, Adams said.
"It will feel moderately humid in Auckland this weekend. It's the wind that makes a big difference as well," he said.
A south westerly wind this afternoon should mean a drop in humidity but as winds died down tomorrow and on Sunday the sticky factor may rise again.
MetService has forecast its next severe weather event for Tuesday, although Adams warned there was s slight chance of a couple of thunderstorms rumbling in the east cape of the North Island today.
Weather today
Cloudy morning with chance shower, then fine breaks. South westerly. High 20C Low 12C
Hamilton: Cloudy morning with chance shower, then fine breaks. South westerly. High 21C Low 7C
Napier: Early morning and evening showers. Afternoon southeasterly. High 21C Low 13C
Wellington: Morning fine spells, a few showers from midday with southerly. High 17C Low 10C
Blenheim: Cloudy periods, brief morning showers. Light winds. High 17C Low 8C
Christchurch: Occasional rain clearing afternoon. Northeast developing. 14C 8C
Queenstown: Morning cloud, then mainly fine. Light winds. High 19C Low 8C
Invercargill: Morning cloud then mainly fine. Light winds. 16C 7C
Christchurch: Occasional rain clearing afternoon. Northeast developing. High 14C Low 8C

Halfway through its term and just months away from the next electoral test, the Spanish government is scrambling to contain its most serious political threat to date – and it's coming from within.
Despite holding both houses of the Spanish parliament, the ruling Popular Party (PP) is coming under increasing internal stress as Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy attempts to appease both the party's restive conservative wing and its center-right majority.
That divide was evident during the PP's annual convention this past weekend, which was supposed to reinvigorate its constituency and to serve as an ideal platform to present its candidates for May elections for the European Parliament. Instead it was notable for the absences of several conservative party leaders, fueling rumors of a break in the party.
Jaime Mayor Oreja, the current leader of the PP's delegation in the European Parliament and a conservative former minister, was among those absent. Days before the convention he rocked the party when he declined to once again lead the PP's candidate list in May, or to even represent the party.
Also absent was former Prime Minister José María Aznar, Mr. Rajoy's predecessor as party leader and for many the ultimate leader of the conservative revolt. He had previous engagements abroad, he said – an excuse which analysts and the media interpreted as a rebuke to Rajoy.
The snubs come less than a month after the PP's first real fissure, when a small group representing the extreme right within the party splintered to form its own party, Vox. While the new party is too radical to cater to most PP voters, it's the first time since 1989 that the PP right is not united under one tent.
The PP is not crumbling, analysts warn, but the internal tensions are showing signs of decay within the PP's decades-old, monolithic right-voting bloc – and which could be exacerbated by upcoming elections.
"This is only the beginning of internal divisions ahead of EU parliamentary elections," says Jaime Pastor, a political science professor at the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED) and an expert of public opinion. The EU vote will be followed by regional and municipal elections in May 2015 and general elections by the end of 2015
Political drain
For the last two years, the government has used its overarching powers to push through unpopular economic reforms without any serious political erosion of its constituency. But its political cushion is wearing thin.
For months, leaders representing the conservative block – analogous to the Tea Party in the US – have been distancing themselves from Rajoy over his perceived weakness in handling Catalonian and Basque nationalism, as well as his response to court investigations over alleged party-sanctioned corruption incriminating the top PP leaders.
"Conservatives are pressing Rajoy to radicalize his policies, more than actually offering an alternative to Rajoy," says Pastor.
To woo the conservatives back, Rajoy's government passed controversial reforms to strengthen Catholic education in public schools and proposed reforms to significantly limit abortion.
But at the same time, the PP's center-right voters have grown impatient over the corruption scandals, the party's rightward swing, and frustrations over the economic crisis, which bottomed out in the second half of 2013 but without signs of noticeable improvement on the streets.
The strain between the two groups is weakening the prime minister, Dr. Pastor explains. "Rajoy will try to correct things before May, but the PP is nervous because the abortion issue just fueled the impression the government is radicalizing and its shedding voters from the center," Pastor says.
Prospects in Europe
The internal friction raises the stakes for the PP in the upcoming European elections. Though abstention for EU elections is traditionally high, a poor showing by the PP will put Rajoy under intense pressure and could even spur a challenge to his leadership of the party.
The conservative hawks of the party "are distancing themselves from the current leadership because they anticipate setbacks in EU elections," Pastor says, which could create a vicious circle by undermining PP supporters' confidence in the party, thereby contributing to further voter drain.
Ultimately, the PP's success in the EU elections will depend on how big that voter drain is, and where those voters go.
"There is a small fissure in the PP, and it would be risky to assume it's important," warns Felix Ortega, a sociology professor in Universidad Complutense de Madrid and specialist in voter trends. But "Voter abstention will increase a lot, and that would hurt. [But] voter drain to other political parties ... would hurt more."
According to a poll published this week published by the government-aligned daily La Razon, the PP slightly leads its closest rivals, the Socialist Party, in voter intention for May EU elections, with smaller left and center-right formations seeing more than three-fold gains.
For the PP though, such a result would entail a loss of more than 10 percentage points, dropping it to around 30 percent.

Might be a silly question, but will I have to join a poultry club in order to enter my birds in any shows? Or can I enter without being a member of any club?
I have a rather magnificent Barnevelder rooster I am considering on showing (well I think he looks good). Not a great shot but I like him. he tries to be tough but my wife just picks him up and tucks him under her arm. It is so deflating for the big fella.

Child's Rainbow Scarf from Last Minute Knitted Gifts, for my friend. 2 skeins of Patons SWS, in Natural Earth and Natural Navy, #9 bamboo dpns. i added 4 stitches to the scarf width. i love the way the striping turned out, despite running into several knots in both skeins.
Galena from Everyday Crochet, 4 skeins of Aarlan Alpaca Silk, J and I crochet hooks. i made the 34" size and added 6 extra rounds for a longer length.
this looks much better post-blocking. it was all scrunchy and short, but now it is open and lacy with a lot of drape. the yarn has a lot of guard hairs, but is otherwise soft. the book categorizes it as a vest despite the cap sleeves. it's a little big but ok since it's meant to be layered.

Both look great! How was the SWS to work with?ReplyDelete
I am in awe of your crocheting skills. Beautiful! The scarf looks great too, but I can imagine knitting a scarf. As for crocheting something that actually comes out the way it's supposed to and fits a human being... well, that's just more than my poor brain can handle. Amazing job!ReplyDelete
And you even crocheted it in a Galena-y color! Very nice!ReplyDelete
The colors on the scarf are fantastic - I love how the striping turned out.ReplyDelete
Your "vest" is really cute, although I definitely question the "vest" designation since it has sleeves. Either way, I'm sure you'll get a lot of compliments on it.
Gosh, the lace top is just gorgeous. I am so envious of your crochet skills. The scarf is in the "I'd wear that!" category for me.ReplyDelete
Very nice!ReplyDelete
WOW - I'm very impressed with your crocheting skills- Galena is beautiful!!ReplyDelete

You crochet beautifully. I love the sweater. If I could do that, I would be thrilled!ReplyDelete
Both look wonderful. You really crochet beautifully. I've seen a lot of patterns in crochet that I like, but I haven't been brave enough to start them.ReplyDelete

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Penn State's 34-27 win against Temple
Penn State can't celebrate its 34-27 win against in-state opponent Temple for long.
Big Ten football is about to start, and an injury-laden Nittany Lions team will face No. 4 Michigan (3-0) at 3:30 p.m. in Ann Arbor on Saturday.
Still, despite a few miscues, Penn State (2-1) showed continued promise throughout Saturday's win.
The Good
Perhaps even more stunning than Saquon Barkley's 55-yard breakaway run to seal Penn State's victory were the cuts that broke him loose.
The running back cut outside to slip through the arms of linebacker Jarred Alwan, then back outside as free safety Sean Chandler came to help coverage. The approximately 15 feet of lateral movement over two cuts spanning 10 yards opened up the 50-yard free sprint through open space to the end zone.
Seriously, these cuts aren't even fair. #PennState pic.twitter.com/n88iTWvVuu— Ben Jones (@Ben_Jones88) September 17, 2016
▪ Not to be forgotten is backup Andre Robinson, who came in for Barkley as he was working through an injury on the sideline in the first half. Robinson ran for 24 yards on six carries and punched in the team's second touchdown of the day (the first of the redshirt freshman's career), his power-run style on full display.
▪ Receiver Chris Godwin had been relatively quiet through the team's first two games this season, with a combined 11 catches and no touchdowns through two games. But Saturday the top returning target on Penn State's roster had 117 yards on seven catches, including a wide-open 52-yard reception-for-touchdown in which he and tight end Mike Gesicki crossed over their coverage to let Godwin loose downfield.
▪ Senior defensive tackle Parker Cothren stepped up in key moments on Saturday.
Freshman running back Miles Sanders fumbled at the Temple 7-yard line, and the Owls recovered. In the resulting series, Cothren had two tackles for loss for five combined yards and Temple had to punt.
The defensive line as a unit allowed 70 rushing yards throughout, a vast improvement from the 491 yards allowed combined through Penn State's first two games. The unit also combined for nine tackles for loss for 32 yards, which is also more pushback from the defensive line than the first two games.
▪ Gesicki pulled in an acrobatic one-handed catch for 52 yards on a throw quarterback Trace McSorley laced between (and over) double-coverage. The highlight-reel snag was stunning, and could not have happened without the initial evasion of the pass rush by McSorley, who rolled out under pressure and hardly stopped to plant before he fired to Gesicki.
REPLAY: If you missed it, here was Mike Gesicki's huge leap and grab for 52 yards.https://t.co/7sesFUYisy— Derek Levarse (@TLdlevarse) September 17, 2016
▪ Penn State converted on fourth down in back-to-back second quarter drives. The first, a 19-yard run on fourth-and-3 by Sanders, resulted in Sanders' fumble on the following play. The second, a 1-yard rush by Robinson on fourth-and-1, ultimately resulted in McSorley's first career rushing touchdown.
The Bad
Penn State fumbled the ball five times and recovered three of those. While the Nittany Lions were able to contain Temple after the Owls recovered Sanders' fumble, Amani Oruwariye accidentally kicked a rugby punt (technically a fumble) in the fourth quarter and Temple scored on the resulting drive. A McSorley interception led to another Owls touchdown just before that, as the team attempted a comeback behind 14 points off second-half Penn State turnovers.
The team is last in the country through three games with 12 fumbles, and No. 124 in the country in fumbles lost with six. Penn State has also given up 35 points off turnovers through three games.
▪ The Nittany Lions continue to get beat on jet sweep plays.
Temple undoubtedly watched the success Pitt had with the sweep against Penn State in Week 2, and utilitzed it effectively in the first quarter to tie the game, 7-7 off an 8-yard handoff to Jahad Thomas. Corner Christian Campbell shifted in help coverage as Thomas swept wide, but missed his tackle and the running back scored.
The Ugly
Injuries have again plagued Penn State, especially at linebacker.
While Brandon Smith, a former walk-on, had an excellent game on Saturday after coming in for Nyeem Wartman-White and recorded eight tackles as well as a tackle-for-loss and near strip-sack of Temple quarterback Phillip Walker, it's safe to assume the Nittany Lions would rather have healthy, experienced starters in the unit heading into Big Ten play.
Penn State was, at one point in the first half against Temple, without six defensive starters (Evan Schwan, Jason Cabinda, Grant Haley, Wartman-White, Marcus Allen and Grant Haley) and remains (until a possible status update on Tuesday) without its three starting linebackers. Starting safeties Allen and Malik Golden returned to the game after injury, but Wartman-White did not.
The team also missed receiver Saeed Blacknall for the second straight game.
Head coach James Franklin will not likely go into detail regarding the status of the injuries unless season-ending. That update would be provided on Tuesday morning.
▪ Near the end of the game on Saturday, the student section at Beaver Stadium began chanting "(expletive) you, Temple!" on two separate occasions. This seems an especially moronic decision based on the heated national spotlight and scrutiny surrounding the university's 50th anniversary commemoration of former head coach Joe Paterno's first game that afternoon.

When a jittery Richard Pryor emerges from underneath a desk in "Uptown Saturday Night," playing a black private eye who is not a sex machine to anybody, a jolt of adrenaline shoots into this sluggish comedy that keeps it wired long after he's gone.
In a virtuoso sendup of "Shaft"-style cool, he agrees to find a missing wallet, but not before somehow negotiating his price through the floor, confessing to being lonely and then nervously ducking out a window, after which he's arrested. Once cornered, Pryor moves through a dizzying number of emotions: panic, casual exasperation, denial and, finally, bluster. "Is the governor in town?" he yells as he's being frisked. "Get him down here! I want to see him!"
When critics talk about the genius of Richard Pryor, they usually mean his singularly influential work as a stand-up comedian, not as an actor. Hilton Als of The New Yorker even argued that Pryor had "a kind of contempt" for his own films.
But a different story comes through in "A Pryor Engagement," a savvy film retrospective, beginning on Friday at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, that leans heavily on movies from the 1970s. In the decade that included his greatest achievement, the seminal 1979 stand-up concert film "Richard Pryor: Live! In Concert," Pryor delivered many superb, committed, often brief performances hidden in movies that were mediocre or worse.
One of the good things about bad movies from that era, particularly the low-budget ones, is that they often didn't get in the way of comic performers, as they did in later years. Their slower pace allowed for more improvisation and spontaneity. Pryor, who appeared in about 20 movies around that time, was drawn to dramatic roles. He's a gentle, doomed piano player in the Billie Holiday biopic "Lady Sings the Blues," and imbues the wizard in "The Wiz" with a pathos and terror at odds with that frenetic musical.
At the other end of the commercial spectrum, the pretentious "Some Call It Loving" shifts gears when its listless, jazz-playing hero finds Pryor's character strung out in a bathroom, waxing poetic as if his graffiti above a urinal were a masterpiece. The scene is not played for broad laughs. Pryor gives his addict role more respect than the movie does.
In comedies Pryor was funny when he was lying, funnier when he was scared. When he could play both, watch out. Take his one truly great comedy, "Which Way Is Up?" (1977), which Michael Schultz directed the year after he cast Pryor as the plastic-grinned evangelist Daddy Rich in "Car Wash." In "Which Way Is Up?," a remake of a Lina Wertmüller film, Pryor plays multiple parts, often in the same scene, but he anchored the movie as a Chaplin-esque orange picker, Leroy Jones.
After falling off a ladder into a rally, Jones accidentally becomes a labor hero, only to be fired and ultimately become a company man. Politically apathetic, he is driven only by lust. Pryor manages to make the sentence "I'm very interested in the movement" sound like an aggressive pickup line.
Pryor's stand-up and movie roles shared certain qualities. They exposed the anxiety and fundamental fear beneath macho cool and they displayed range. Pryor shifted nimbly among characters onstage and from one movie to another. Not only did he perform serious roles but he was also comfortable playing the straight man (as he often did with Gene Wilder). Who else could be equally convincing as both a pimp's sidekick (in "The Mack") and a doctor (in the Neil Simon comedy "California Suite")?
In a roast on his brilliant but short-lived 1977 variety series, "The Richard Pryor Show" — in which he irreverently imagines the first black president years before Eddie Murphy did in "Delirious" — Sandra Bernhard said Pryor never sold out, adding the punch line: "He shuffles to a beat of a different drummer." Nearby, Pryor laughed. Many of his movies are, in fact, empathetic portraits of someone who is arguably selling out.
Pryor also played a union worker who joined management in "Blue Collar," before a 1979 strike at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles fiercely divided comics. (Garry Shandling crossed the picket line; Jay Leno did not.) In "The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings," a period piece about segregated baseball, Pryor is an athlete who pretends to be Cuban so he can play against white talent. These films mock an unjust system but are also sympathetic to those who make compromises inside it.
"The Toy," an execrable, tone-deaf comedy from 1982, is a notorious example of what happens when that strategy goes off the rails. Pryor plays a writer so broke that he takes a job as the playmate of a businessman's spoiled brat. Instead of questioning this arrangement, the movie makes excuses for it. Whereas "Which Way Is Up?" took an ironic approach to Pryor's follies — the company's boss tells Pryor, "Be a man, boy" — "The Toy" uses Pryor as a vehicle for a rich man to learn how to love his child.
The Brooklyn Academy of Music understandably decided not to include "The Toy," but its retrospective does reveal how Pryor's screen work from the 1980s became slicker, more hollow and hostile to his peculiar gifts. Movies like "Brewster's Millions" and "Superman III" were narrower and restrictive. Pryor was asked to be more of a relatable lead on top of being a box office draw.
It's tempting to wonder what would have happened if his movie career had not been shortened by multiple sclerosis. (He died at 65 in 2005.) I suspect that indie directors would have figured out how to use his vulnerability for bolder ends and that he might have grown into a dramatic star like Bill Murray.
Imagine Sofia Coppola or Alexander Payne building an entire quirky film around his sneaky bursts of emotion and comic fragility. Or maybe it's better that you don't. Richard Pryor already gave us more than enough.

Setting A Good Example When It Comes To Texting & Driving
Do you have teenage drivers at home? If so, do you ask them to live by different rules than you do?
Telling your kid about the danger of texting and driving won't do any good if you pick up your smartphone while cruising down the freeway.
Research shows that starting at about age 11 or 12, your child begins paying attention to your driving habits and noting consciously or subconsciously all the things you do.
According to research by Liberty Mutual Insurance, 91% of kids have seen their parents talking on a cellphone while driving,
88 percent have observed their parents speeding. And 59 percent said their parents have sent text messages while driving!
If you're part of that 59 percent, could I encourage you to prayerfully consider the message you are sending to your kids?
How do you like that photo of yourself on Facebook? Would you believe more than FOUR OUT OF TEN women have enhanced pictures of themselves before posting them online?
Researchers say digital photos are making women more camera-shy than ever, with mounting pressures to look good when the images are shared on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Eight in ten women say having their photo taken and then uploaded on to a social network makes them more anxious about their looks than speaking in public, going on a first date or going to a job interview!
As you consider that story, remember these words from 1 Samuel 16:7: The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."

We'd like to introduce you to the team that work on our PADI IDC's and Instructor level training, including overseeing our Divemaster and MSDT internships. So here's a brief introduction, with a little humour, at the crew who you'll be entrusting your future as a PADI Instructor to!!!!
ANDY PHILLIPS M.sc (UK)
PADI Platinum Course Director, DAN Instructor Trainer, PADI Trimix Instructor Trainer, IANTD Instructor Trainer, IAHD-Americas Instructor Trainer, Rebreather Instructor Trainer, Beautiful Oceans Science Instructor Trainer
Utila Dive Centre's 'Director of Professional Training'
When writing up this section we realised we had given Andy too much attention on this website already, so in order to keep his ego in check, we just wanted to add he makes great coffee during the IDC, and pays for dinner at the IE party! If this is the first time you've come across Andy then feel free to read his bio here.
SUZY PHIPPS B.Sc Marine Biology, (UK)
PADI Platinum Course Director, EFR, IYT and IAHD-Americas Instructor Trainer
Suzy is originally from the UK but grew up as a child in Belize, this instilled in her a love for the environment with pristine jungles and the 2nd biggest barrier reef in the world as her playground. She has trained and dived throughout the world, and has a Bsc in Marine Biology, and in addition to training our Instructors she also co-ordinates with our environmental projects and PADI's Project Aware. When Suzy is not busy teaching you will find her on our dive boats with her camera set up as she is an avid underwater photographer, and also enjoys sidemount diving. Anyone who ever had the luck to take a course with her agrees that there's no one as happy and energetic as her and when she's not teaching scuba she enjoys spending time with her students. Prior to joining us Suzy was managing a busy resort in the Maldives, and her administrative skills will ensure your paperwork is in order and processed for you to soon be Instructing. Suzy has dived in the Maldives, Thailand, Mexico, Vietnam, Belize, Honduras and the Mediterranean and also worked as Course Director in Mexico.
BRYONY ROBERTS (Scotland/Spain)
PADI Master Instructor, EFR Instructor Trainer
Bryony is originally from Scotland but grew up from an early age and that us where she fell in love with the ocean and scuba diving. After graduating University studying business and arts Bryony soon (like many of our staff and candidates) grew tired of the 9-5 and decided to finally leave cubicle behind, taking the plunge and swapping them for a new office under the water and became an Instructor in Majorca, Spain. Bryony has led the role-model career as a dive Instructor and worked in the Mediteranean, North sea of Norway, tropical waters of the Maldives and S.E Asia. Bryony has worked in high end exclusive resorts, backpacker destinations and also has years of experience working on live-aboard vessels. Bryony loves any type of diving that requires a lot of tanks, having a passion for technical diving and especially enjoys seeing new divers' faces light up after their first experiences in the water. She especially loves to hear from instructor candidates she has worked with on their IDC's after they themselves venture out with their own first students. In addition to being a very experienced diver and Instructor Bryony is also an accomplished windsurfer and has worked on conservation projects with coral nursery gardens in Indonesia and due to her well rounded appeal and diverse dive career is probably one of the most well liked members of our staff. In addition to being a great IDC Staff Instructor she is also Manager of our MSDT internship program at UDC! If this background wasn't impressive enough Bryony can also teach scuba diving in 5 languages, English, Spanish, German, Dutch and French!

Editing Price in eCart - ASP Code
I am currently enhancing our admin backend and I want the ability to edit the price of the items in the cart as well as the quantity. The quantity edit is built into eCart by design but I cannot figure out how to edit the price.
I am importing orders using the eCart Get From Recordset and this works fine and I am essentially show a cart containing the items the customer ordered online. In our case some customers have special pricing for different products hence I need to have the ability to change the price.
If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated.

Okazaki fragments are short segments of DNA that were newly synthesized using the lagging strand of the original piece of DNA during DNA replication. Conversely, a new DNA strand is synthesized continuously, rather than in fragments, along the leading strand that runs antiparallel to the lagging strand.
DNA is double-stranded, consisting of two polymer strands that run antiparallel to each other. One strand runs in the five-prime to three-prime direction, while its complementary strand runs three-prime to five-prime. During DNA replication, the two strands separate a little at a time, and two new strands are synthesized using each original strand as a template. The moving area where the original DNA unravels is called a replication fork.
Biologically and chemically, new DNA can be created only in the five-prime to three-prime direction, which complicates the replication process since the two new strands must be replicated simultaneously but run in opposite directions. One of the new strands is formed in the direction pointing away from the replication fork, while the other is formed in the same direction that the replication fork moves along the DNA.
The strand that forms facing the replication fork is able to synthesize in a continuous manner. Its template strand runs in the three-prime to five-prime direction, so the new strand is able to form in the complementary five-prime to three-prime direction. The other strand is formed using a template that already runs in the five-prime to three-prime direction, so an RNA primer must attach to the template to make it possible for DNA to synthesize in the necessary five-prime to three-prime direction. A new RNA primer is added each time enough of the original DNA is unraveled to use it as a template to create a fragment of new DNA. Additional fragments form until the replication process is complete.

Fun with rolling papers, or, I did not know "Rizzling" was a thing
Rizzling is the fine art of becoming completely intoxicated, placing loose rolling paper on your fingertips and running around a room like an idiot in front of your drunk friends while the papers spin like pinwheels.
Excuse me while I go pick up some Jameson and rolling papers. My place at 8? (via booooooom)

You would need to make use of the PREPARE statement to achieve this.
For example if BankList contains '0001, 0010, 0137' you would use something like the following:
Eval Text='SELECT field1,field2 FROM file WHERE BankCode In(' + %Trim(BankList) + ')'
/Exec SQL
PREPARE S1 FROM :Text
/Exec SQL
Declare C1 CURSOR FOR S1
and then read it as you would normally.
Hope it helps

MEDIA ADVISORY: University of Missouri Museum of Art and Archaeology to Reopen
April 19th, 2015
WHAT: After 18 months of relocation and gallery reorganization, the Museum of Art and Archaeology at MU will celebrate its grand reopening. Improved art facilities and spacious galleries will welcome new and returning guests.
On Sept. 30, 2013, the Museum of Art and Archaeology closed its location on MU's main campus and began its relocation to Mizzou North. More than 16,000 pieces of art and artifacts were packed and moved.
"I'm excited to welcome visitors to the new galleries," said Alex Barker, professor of archaeology in the Department of Anthropology and museum director. "I've been surprised at how many works look different in their new surroundings and how many details are visible in familiar works that hadn't been apparent before. The public display of art is a key part of our mission, and we're happy to be opening on April 19."
WHERE: The Museum of Art and Archaeology
Mizzou North (formerly Ellis Fischel Cancer Center)
115 Business Loop 70 West, Columbia
WHEN: 2 – 6 p.m. (ribbon cutting at 3 p.m.), Sunday, April 19
NOTE: The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
For more information, please visit the museum website: https://maa.missouri.edu/

Yeah, you'll probably suffer without watching the NFL every Sunday on your big-screen TV if there the labor dispute cancels the entire season.
But would you please think of poor Maryland?
A study found that Maryland would lose an estimated $40 million in tax revenues if the entire NFL season is canceled.
The study, released Tuesday by the state comptroller's office, is described as the first of its kind in the nation.
Maryland, of course, is home to not one but two NFL teams -- the Ravens, who play in Baltimore, and the Redskins, who play in Landover.
Comptroller Peter Franchot asked for the study, so Maryland officials could understand the impact a lost football season would have on the state's revenue estimates.
The study found that tax revenue from NFL games arises from direct and indirect activity. Direct sources of revenue include income tax paid to the state of Maryland by players and other employees of an NFL team, sales tax from concession stands affiliated with the stadium or the sale of NFL merchandise, and the admissions and amusement tax, which is remitted upon purchase of an NFL ticket.
Franchot said a lack of revenue from Ravens' and Redskins' games would throw an unwanted speed bump in the state's road to economic recovery.
"While I want the football season to resume so we can celebrate victories over the Steelers and Cowboys, I really want to see things back on track because of the tremendous boost football gives our sense of community pride, our economic activity and our state revenues," he said in a release.

1999 Lexus RX 300 3.0 liter from North America
Lexus screwed up big time with RX300. Reading reports on the web the quality is subpar
The Transmission failed in the middle of the road in high traffic at 123000 miles. I have another car from Toyota that has 128000 miles and is still running fine.
General Comments:
The car is under powered for its weight. It is sluggish and you have to put lot of pressure on the accelerator to get it going.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

007. The Radiohead High
I am an anxious perfectionist. This quality helps me excel at my job, in managing my time, in being an overly efficient member of society, in being able to strategically secure tickets to six sold out headlining Radiohead shows in one week.
With that said, the entire time I followed Radiohead on tour, I found myself craving perfection even more anxiously than before. I wanted to attain and retain that spiritual connection I'd achieved at past shows, and faced disappointment in myself when I didn't. Making excuses. Planning to be better for next time. Maybe eat more or less; drink more or less; try for one more or less bathroom break; sit down through one more or less band.
What I learned in the end was that it's about openness. Why was it so easy for me to connect as a teenager? In 2008? In 2012? Why could I feel the connection so immediately then, and now— after three, four shows— I was still not reaching that peak despite hearing some of my most beloved songs?
I've grown up.
I've learned to move on, to build walls, to be strong, to work hard and continue to pursue a path upwards without looking back. But with that, I've grown to live more on the surface and to be more suppressed. To selectively let people in. To not be so trusting so quickly. To be cynical.
One of the most disarming things about the experience I had following Radiohead on tour was doing so with someone who started out as a complete stranger (my cinematographer), who was really in the thick of it all with me. I always tell friends that seeing Radiohead with me is like experiencing me in my ultimate form: euphoric, blissful, and free. The vast majority of my closest friends haven't experienced this with me, and for a total stranger to do so, it added an entirely new layer to the journey that I hadn't anticipated. I felt myself becoming more open, vulnerable, trusting, in a very rare way. Truthfully, it was scary and added another level of intensity to the trip for me.
With each show and each flight, I felt myself opening up, though not quite reaching that height. Then we got to San Francisco: Outside Lands.
This was our fifth city in two weeks. I was exhausted, and while I had gotten the perfect spot— front and center in front of Thom Yorke— I found myself overcome with a crippling fear that I'd have to go to the bathroom. I didn't feel like myself. I wasn't being social. I wasn't drinking water. I was suffering to keep that spot in a masochistic way. I felt my abdomen torturing me. I felt my immune system catching up with the pain I'd put it through. I felt all this weight on my brain. Above all else, I was extremely disappointed that I felt so imperfect.
Radiohead came on the stage just before sunset. The sun was still out. Up until then, they'd always only come on after nightfall. I'd never seen them in broad daylight before. After watching bands all day, for once it felt like they were really there. As usual, they opened with "Burn the Witch."
Then, also as usual, they played "Daydreaming." But this time it was different. I looked at Thom, he looked at me, and I really felt the song. I took all the thoughts jumbled in my brain— doubts, loathing, negativity, worry— and I pushed them away onto the stage mentally... and they left. All the weight of my brain and my body was pushed off of me. I started crying. For that moment, that song, I felt complete freedom. I felt infinite.
We spend so much time as people in this world thinking about every single minute detail: our mistakes, our achievements, how we can improve. For a singular moment there, all thoughts left me. For that time, I was floating. I really felt like just one piece of this infinite universe. Nothing mattered. I felt at peace. I felt complete.
That's when I realized that I had been cracked open. I describe it to others as "emotional nudity." A lifetime of focusing on growing stronger— of moving on and leaving negativity behind, of following my determination and my lust for excellence— was gone. It's still gone. I feel exposed. I feel like I'm now still coming to terms with this underbelly of insecurity and truth that I didn't realize existed. Now, weeks later, I'm still reeling from that moment of unleashing. I still don't feel like myself, or perhaps I feel more like myself than I have in a long time. Regardless, I feel so open and free.
My wish to each of you is that you can find something like this, something that can sweep you away and capture your emotions this deeply. Allow yourself the openness and honesty. You won't regret it.

Technical Paper
Snake-Arm Robots: A New Approach to Aircraft Assembly
This paper describes work being conducted by OC Robotics and Airbus to develop snake-arm robots to conduct assembly tasks within wing boxes - an area currently inaccessible for automation. The composite, single skin construction of aircraft structures presents new assembly challenges. Currently during box close-out it is necessary for aircraft fitters to climb into the wing box through small access panels and use manual or power tools to perform a variety of tasks. In future wing designs it may be that certain parts of the wing do not provide adequate access for manual assembly methods. It is also known that these manual interventions introduce health and safety concerns with their associated costs. Snake-arm robots provide a means to replace manual procedures by delivering the required tools to all areas of the wing box. Such a development has broader implications for aircraft design and assembly.

Hey Nomsters, we're extra excited for today's post because we're celebrating Nomtastic Foods by indulging in Lobsterfest today…lots and lots of good food…as always. We've been at it for a solid year, and we're proud of how far we've come and really grateful for all the support we've received. I'm Robby, and I run Nomtastic foods with my co-founder and girlfriend, Kim. We both manage separate accounts in addition to this, but we'll talk more about that some other time – we're actually thinking about adding a bio or an about section? Let us know if that's something you'd be interested in reading.
Anywho, we've been doing long distance for the last year and a half – I live in San Francisco, and she lives in Maryland. That's why our blog + social platforms cover NorCal and the DMV (DC/MD/VA) so often! To celebrate Nomtastic Foods' birthday, we drove over to the Red Lobster in Columbia, MD for Lobsterfest. They added a bunch of new exciting plates to the mix so we were PUMPED (understatement of the year). Shout out to Dennis, our bamf waiter for being so awesome and attentive. See how spacious and clean the restaurant was? And if you're wondering why there were so many empty tables, it's because we went at 11 (right when they opened) for a VERY early lunch.
We started our meal off with a glass of their Tropical White Sangria. It came with a cool charm and was made with moscato, pineapple and mango juices with a splash of Spite for a touch of fizz – definitely make sure to get this is you're big into pineapple! The Lobster Lover's Punch also sounded really good though – made with Captain Morgan, Bacardi, and Malibu Rum and shaken with berry and pineapple juice. FYI: it comes in a collectible glass that you can take home – they're giving them out in honor of their 50th anniversary!
We placed our orders for apps and munched happily on bread and salad as we waited for our food. Their cheddar biscuits are LIFE by the way, like we'd honestly go back just to satisfy our carb cravings, ha. Anywho, we got the following starters to share: Chilled Lobster and Shrimp Cocktail & Seafood Stuffed Mushrooms (one of our go-tos).
The cocktail came with chilled split petite Maine lobster tails and jumbo shrimp with their signature cocktail sauce. It was all super fresh, and the cocktail sauce complemented the seafood beautifully. The mushrooms were LOADED with seafoody goodness, smothered in Monterey jack cheese and baked to warm gooey perfection.
above: seafood lovers rejoice || below: our mushroom pics don't do the plate justice – trust us and just try them
Then came our mains! We're suckers for cheesy anything so when we saw Lobster Truffle Mac & Cheese listed, that was a no-brainer for us. Think huge chunks of Maine and langostino lobster with cavatappi pasta in a cheesy truffle lobster cream, topped with Parmesan panko bread crumbs. It was quite possibly the BEST lobster mac 'n cheese we've ever tasted. The noodles were perfectly cooked and dressed with the PERFECT amount of sauce – the crumbs (aka crispy morsels of perfection) elevated the dish tenfold with their goodness.
More shots of the lobster mac because it was so freakin' delicious…
We didn't take shots of the second plate, but it's definitely worth mentioning since it's yet another all-time fave. The Parrot Isle Jumbo Coconut Shrimp is basically heaven on a plate. The flaky coconut coating is fried to perfection and is served with their signature piña colada sauce. If you haven't tried this yet, you need to STAT! And remember to indulge in lobsterfest. You can choose from nine new and classic lobster dishes prepared in a variety of craveable ways, including roasted, grilled, topped and steamed.
All of the seafood served here is sourced in a manner that is Traceable, Sustainable and Responsible to ensure that a healthy seafood supply exists now and for generations. Guests who visit Red Lobster will see additional information about the brand's sourcing commitments on its lobster tanks and in menus. They proud to support the men and women in these communities who fish responsibly and sustainably.

The group though did not object to regularisation of illegal construction as it felt that the common people should not suffer but insisted that the practice must not become a trend.
"This practice of not penalising builders and developers who deliberately break laws with ulterior motives has emboldened them to continue to break the law. This also results in loss of revenue to the state government and the municipal corporations," states the letter signed by D. V. R. Rao, Satish Khot, Gautam Idnani and Arvind Kaushal.
" In our view, this lacuna amounts to unanticipated encouragement to builders and developers to continue to break the laws with impunity and amounts to miss-governance. By now we have a reason to believe that this lapse in not penalising the offenders has emboldened them to continue to take greater and greater liberties to suit their illegal purposes," the adds.
The letter said letting off offenders without any punishment encourages law-abiding citizens to break laws to suit their individual needs.
"We are certain that you do not wish to encourage law breaking by citizens. Therefore, we submit that all who intentionally break laws to gain illegal or unauthorised benefits like selling of unauthorised buildings or illegally occupying government or public property must be punished promptly and effectively, not just nominally," the letter added.
The citizens' group has requested the chief minister to urgently take stock of the situation and all possible fallouts thereof and act swiftly to penalise the habitually law-breaking builders and developers and set a healthy precedent by actively discouraging probable law breakers, including civic officials.
