Are you a runner? Would you like to prevent or heal injuries and improve performance? Many runners are discovering that yoga can provide these benefits and transform running into a moving meditation.
Kelly McGonigal, PhD, who teaches yoga, group fitness and psychology at Stanford University and is the author of Yoga for Pain Relief (New Harbinger 2009), shares how yoga can help your running.
According to Susi Hately Aldous, a yoga teacher in Calgary, Alberta, and author of Anatomy and Asana: Preventing Yoga Injuries (Eastland Press 2006), yoga helps runners avoid or heal injuries by developing two important skills: balance in the body and awareness in the mind.
"As great as running is, it creates physical imbalances that lead to inefficiencies and injuries. Yoga can help by stretching what is tight, strengthening what is weak and improving the essential stabilizers of the body." Some key areas that runners need help releasing are the calves, quadriceps, hamstrings, hip flexors, back and shoulders. Poses that stretch these muscle groups and strengthen the comparatively weaker hip abductors and rotators create more balance in the lower body. This balance relieves some of the most common complaints of runners, including pain in the iliotibial band, knees and lower back.
Yoga also teaches runners how to tell the difference between "good" pain and "bad" pain by bringing awareness to the different sensations in challenging poses. Rather than blocking out the sensations, you learn to pay attention to the fatigue of your quadriceps in warrior pose or the stretch of your hamstrings in a forward bend. If you develop this self-awareness in yoga, you are better able to tolerate the safe "burn" of challenging endurance. At the same time, you are less likely to ignore the louder warning signals of strain or exhaustion that can lead to injuries.
Yoga focuses on alignment and on long holds of challenging poses. The challenge becomes: How can you stay in the pose with the least amount of effort needed to maintain good posture and safe alignment?
According to Sage Rountree, PhD, author of The Athlete's Guide to Yoga (VeloPress 2007), learning this kind of relaxed effort translates directly from the mat to the trail, boosting your stamina and speed. "Both yoga and running take you to the edge of intensity—to your perceived limits—and teach you how to use form and breath to stay there. Adopt the most efficient, economical form you can, breathe as deeply as you can, and you will learn what you are made of.

Trinity Church Islington is a church community made up of many relationships. But at the heart of it all is relationship with Jesus Christ. He is the one who brings people to life. He is the one whose story fills the pages of the Bible. He is the one that we learn to know as God's word is preached. And he is the one who shows us how to love one another sacrificially.
Our aim is to see everyone live, learn, and love because of him.
On Sundays we meet in St Mark's Myddelton Square near Angel tube station - it's 4pm for tea and cake, and then a 4.30pm start. You are always welcome to join us wherever you're coming from faith-wise, and if you've got kids, then bring them along too, and make use of our DBS-checked creche, youth, and children's groups.
In our meetings, our aim is to keep Jesus Christ central, and to get to know God better through what he says in the Bible. As well as a talk, there's the chance to respond by singing, praying, and spending time together. No question is out of bounds, and you can take part in as much or as little as you'd like.
Tuesday evenings are a key time to feel like you belong. We meet in the main church building, eat together and gather in smaller groups to look together at the Bible, encourage each other, and to pray for one another too. Each evening is a great time to make and meet friends and spend time with others as you are, knowing that none of us has it all sorted.
It's always a relaxed time and any week is a good week to join. We'll be there from 7.30pm to eat and 8pm to study and pray.
There are lighting works taking place in St Mark's from October 21st 2019 - Mid December. The building is open on Sundays as normal but closed Monday to Friday. So Trinity's Small Groups will be meeting in local homes during this time. Please get in contact for details of where to head.
During the school terms, Trinity Church Islington runs Story Corner on Tuesday mornings, 10-11.30am. This is a brilliant time for parents, carers and their babies and toddlers from the local (and not so local) Islington area to get together. There are plenty of toys for little ones to play with and plenty of tea, coffee and cake for the adults. Part way through the morning everyone gathers in the 'Story Corner' to hear a bible story and sing some songs.
To make sure Story Corner is safe and happy we have a membership system. That sometimes means there's a waiting-list for Story Corner membership.
There are lighting works taking place in St Mark's from October 21st 2019 - Mid December. The building is open on Sundays as normal but closed Monday to Friday. So until the end of this term (10th December) Story Corner is moving temporarily to meet in Holy Redeemer Hall, Exmouth Market, EC1R 4QE (Same time: Tuesdays 10-11.30am)
So, you've taken the plunge and moved to London – welcome! We love to call London "home" and wherever you're from, you'll find that the city has so much to offer.
Trinity Church Islington, meets on Sundays at 4.30pm near to Angel in Islington. We'd love to welcome you along to one of our meetings at Trinity, whether you're looking to join a church or you're just curious.
Look around the rest of your website and you can get a feel for what goes on at Trinity. But we hope you'll find that at the heart of everything we do is Jesus Christ. And our prayer at Trinity is that as we live because of Jesus, we will learn to know him better and so love because of him.
You're welcome to join us on Sundays wherever you're at faith-wise. And, if you have children, please bring them too. They'll be welcomed to our children's groups. During the week we also have small groups on Tuesdays from 7.30pm. And Sunday lunches plus tea and cake before and after the service are good opportunities to get to know church family better too.
If you have any questions at all you can email us (see below) and one of the staff team will be glad to get in touch.
We'd love you to feel at home at Trinity Church Islington and help you settle into life in London.

Latest News
Repeat would put Scott in rare company
Winning the Masters is one of sports' toughest accomplishments.
Winning it twice in a row might be even more challenging.
That's the task facing Australia's Adam Scott as he prepares to defend his 2013 Masters title, beginning with a 10:41 a.m. first-round tee time Thursday at Augusta National Golf Club.
Repeating as champion has happened only three times in the Masters' 80 years: Jack Nicklaus in 1965 and '66, Nick Faldo in 1989 and '90 and Tiger Woods in 2001 and '02.
It's been nearly a year since Scott won his first Masters, taken in the rain and growing darkness on the second playoff hole against Argentina's Angel Cabrera.
"I'm definitely feeling a lot more comfortable on this golf course over the last years, and certainly winning – and the confidence you take from that – helps," said Scott.
If he can't repeat, though, he certainly won't be alone. Players such as Phil Mickelson, a three-time champion but never back-to-back, know how daunting it is.
"I just think it's a tough tournament to win, because you have such great players, such great competition," Mickelson said. "And the course does play differently year-to-year."
Mickelson hasn't come close to winning twice in a row: He's finished 10th, tied for 24th and tied for 27th, each year after he's won the Masters.
Faldo said Scott's best chance might be to forget about what happened last year and treat this week as if he's never won at Augusta. That's what Faldo did in 1990, when he repeated by beating Raymond Floyd in a playoff.
"About a month before, I was practicing in England and I suddenly said to myself: 'I'm not going to defend. Just go and win another one.' " Faldo told Reuters. "So rather than getting wound up about defending, make it a mission to go and win another one.
"And when I got here and got momentum, it was a real motivation in the playoff. I thought to myself: 'I am not giving up my jacket. I'm not putting this on somebody else.' It was really quite good for me in the end."
A record 24 first-time players are entered this week, including Australian Matt Jones, who qualified last week when he chipped in on the first playoff hole to win the Houston Open.
For the first time since 1995, the Masters will be without Woods, a four-time champion who is out for several weeks after recent surgery on a pinched nerve in his back.
It puts on hold Woods' pursuit of Nicklaus' record of 18 major championships. Woods has been stuck on 14 since he won the 2008 U.S. Open.
Scott has something else to play for this week – and it could also come at Woods' expense. Scott, ranked second in the world, can overtake Woods as the world's No. 1 player if he finishes at least in a two-way for third.
Third-ranked Henrik Stenson, who has struggled at the Masters, would vault to the top by finishing at least tied for second. Jason Day, who is ranked fourth and finished third at Augusta in 2013, can also become No. 1 if he wins.
"If I have a chance to win, I'll just focus on that," said Stenson, whose best finish in eight Masters appearances is a tie for 17th (twice). "The other thing (world No. 1) would be a nice bonus that comes with it. But I'm more concerned with winning tournaments than setting new records for myself on the rankings."
Scott has spent the past year working toward this week, but also handling many of the ceremonial duties that come with being a Masters champion.
"I think I've had to manage my time better, that's been as conscious effort at tournaments," he said. "It's been incredible to see the reception I get every week I play since being a Masters champion. It's been a real buzz for me for 12 months."
Now it's time to play, and if Adam Scott wants another year of being a Masters champion, he'll have to do what only three other players have ever done before.

Photography by Tom Sullam
Natalie Charles and Peter Edwards are the clients for this 65m 2 extension of their Victorian house in Wandsworth, London. Landscape designer Natalie Charles is also the garden designer. So the relationship between the new architecture and the garden was paramount, and the design evolved in tandem with her vision for the garden.
The unique feature of the extension is that its supporting structure is refined down to a single column standing in the garden. This allows the full-height external glazing to fold back completely so that the ground-floor elevation is effectively removed. This, combined with timber flooring inside and out, blurs the boundary between garden and house.
Natural materials were used. Structural steelwork is expressed to reflect the strong vertical planting theme and the use of steel and timber structures in the landscaping. A strong geometry also developed on plan, responding to the path of the sun and views of the garden.
The project architect was Manuel Nogueira; contractor John Coyle Contracts.
Cost: £110,000

Paddy Wallace's season is over after scan confirms he ruptured knee ligament
Ulster centre Paddy Wallace has been ruled out of Ulster's end of season push for Heineken Cup and RaboDirect Pro12 glory after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
The injury, which Wallace suffered in Ulster's defeat to Glasgow at Scotsun last Friday, will need surgery and a considerable amount of rehabilitation.
There is little chance of Wallace playing any rugby until the beginning of next season.
The loss of Wallace is a big blow to Mark Anscombe's plans as the versatile back offers cover right across the backline.

text: Sunday afternoon I was working on our new separates line. We've scheduled a photo shoot for next week and I need to get these designed and samples made. So much to do, so little time. I check email … Betsy Franco emails me! You know, James' mom. She wants to know - Can I dress her? Did you hear me scream? I dropped everything and invited her to my studio. Within the hour Betsy was here and trying on clothes. The first dress fit her pretty well and she loved it. The color looks fabulous on her and the design is flattering. We're making a few changes to make it appropriate for the red carpet and added a complementary scarf. She will be a beacon. We've had a few fittings and discovered that there are a couple related events that she needs to be dressed for. Fortunately she likes our separates and the colors and prints are fabulous on her. It is so much fun dressing an enthusiastic client, and it is satisfying to dress someone who can wear color so well.

Egg Fried…Kale
So I don't have any photos…yet BUT I reallllly wanted egg fried rice last night for dinner and aside from not having rice in the house I had kale that I needed to use up. I am SO glad that I tried this out! My husband hates kale and is more likely to agree with my cousin that it was bred purely for Las Vegas salad buffet decoration. He turns his nose up at most kale preparations however last night I got this glowing review "it was the second best preparation of kale that I've ever had…even though it was still kaley". HA So without further ado I give you Egg Fried Kale.
Egg Fried Kale
Serves: 4
Cook and prep time total: 15-20 min
1 bag of prepared kale or 1 "head" of kale rinsed with ribs removed
2 large eggs
.5 red bell pepper diced
.5 green bell pepper diced
1/4 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup carrots small diced
1/4 cup green onions sliced
1 Tablespoon coconut oil
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
Salt and pepper
Heat 1 teaspoon coconut oil in pan, add bell pepper, carrots and green onion. Cook until softened about 4 min. Remove from pan and add eggs, scrambling as they cook, about 2 min in a hot pan. Remove from pan and set aside. Add remaining 2 teaspoons of coconut oil, kale and vinegar to pan. Cook kale for 3-5 min or until soft. Add peas, peppers, carrots and eggs back in and mix well. Salt and pepper to taste.
I made this with sesame pork loin and honey glazed carrots. Hope you enjoy even if you think Kale is kaley.

We had lots of hype from Sky when they 'won' the exclusive rights to broadcast all four days of the live action from the US Masters, EXCEPT, in another example of the Superior Beings at Augusta knowing whats best for us all, it turns out that the best part of the first two days have restricted broadcast schedules so we can't see anything that happens in real time until after 19:00 here in the UK.
Supposedly this is to protect the integrity of the tournament but what about those of us who can't get to Augusta for Thursday and Friday.
I like the US Masters as a tournament but it certainly not my favourite Major, largely as a result of the nonsense that surrounds everything around the presentation of the event which is so tightly controlled by Augusta.

A Conversation — When approached to make a contribution IYALA (Iyengar Yoga Association of Los Angeles), a sutra column, my first reaction was to run. A flat "no" would have sufficed, then as all things Iyengar yoga, the idea took seed and began to flourish. Working alone, however, was out of the question. I needed a co-conspirator to consider this text and give it it's proper due. More importantly I didn't know if I could stick to a commitment of isolation in study and feel comfortable as a singular voice of veracity. A conversation was needed and I remembered a great one that had taken place at a recent Christmas party with a young gentleman, but an old friend, Henry Wudl. He had become an Iyengar practitioner two years ago. His … [Read more...]

Parents are coming to me from different middle schools in Plano to tell me that their children have not been taught long division in elementary school. Their children cannot do long division and the middle schools will not teach it because it is an elementary school skill. Parents now must teach their children long division or hire tutors to teach their children.
If you are not sure what long division is, here is a link that shows the algorithm for long division. If you find it hard to believe that any school system would skip teaching long division, then you should watch this video. Here, M. J. McDermott shows what some school text books teach in place of the standard algorithms for long multiplication and long division.
Does it sound crazy that Plano ISD does not teach long division? Well, yes and no. John Dewey in his book, "How We Think," disparaged the teaching of skills and facts. When I read Dewey's book I thought that John Dewey hated the education he received as a child and wanted to overthrow the education establishment. John Dewey has followers in the education establishment today and they are busy destroying the academic skills of our children.
So it is understandable that some administrators or teachers in Plano ISD have abandoned teaching long division, but it is wrong, it is a mistake.
It is time for us to take back our schools and fix our children's education the right way: by fixing the curriculum instead of by hiring tutors. The PISD election is coming. Tell the candidates you want long division back in the classrooms. Tell the candidates you want all the children to have a good education, not just the ones with tutors. Then go vote and make sure your friends vote as well.
Robert Canright
PS: I have been hearing from parents. I am hearing parents affirm that some kids are not being taught long division, but some kids are being taught. It seems to vary among the elementary schools. It sounds like PISD has a quality control problem.

Kyle Ragsdale
Ragsdale grew up in Texas and New Mexico, witnessing from a young age a mix of vibrant cultures and large, wild spaces. For 15 years, since earning degrees at Baylor University (BFA) and Southern Methodist University (MFA), Ragsdale has been painting full time — working periodically as a decorative painter and stage set designer, and making fine art. He has served as curator for exhibits in Texas and Indiana and currently is curator for the Harrison Center for the Arts. Ragsdale's work has changed many times — the paint has been thick, thin, shiny, and flat. He often delves into decorative floral patterns, landscapes, and portraiture, but probably is best known for his mysterious elongated figures. Many times, people featured in his paintings are enjoying the beauty of community, sharing life at picnics or parties. Sometimes formal, sometimes casual, these signature figures and their often-ambiguous settings always leave room for interpretation; like an open-ended novel, relationships and meanings are found in the viewer's gaze.

text: The Norwegian economy continues to perform well, despite low oil prices, a testimony to policies that insulate the country from volatile petroleum markets. Output growth is recovering, well-being remains high in many dimensions, and Norway stands as one of the OECD's most inclusive countries in terms of income equality, labour participation and gender gaps. Accommodative monetary policy continues to support demand but has fuelled worryingly strong house-price increases and credit growth. House prices now appear overvalued and seem to have peaked. A rapid price correction could have severe effects on households' balance sheets, banks' financial health, and could be critical to Norway's economic outlook.

Infusion of enthusiasm in Moss Side, Manchester
On Tuesday 14 December, the Lord Mayor of Manchester, Councillor Mark Hackett unveiled a cornerstone in the regeneration of South Manchester.
Miller Homes, a partner in the housing led regeneration scheme known as Bowes Street in Moss Side revealed the name and vision for this important development by Manchester City Council.
"We have chosen Infusion as the development's name as it captures our approach" says Carolyn Walsh, Project Sales and Marketing Manager for Miller Homes: "This development will be the blend of the best of modern, innovative design and respect for the traditional architecture of the area. It is the correct mix of homes to maintain and create a vibrant community."
The name was launched to dignitaries, community leaders and local residents. Guests at the lunchtime event included; Councillors Sameem Ali, Alistair Cox and Roy Walters.
The reveal of the name and logo for the development was incorporated into a streetdance performance by Company Fierce Academy. Fierce is a local charity dedicated to using arts to open the educational and life opportunities for young people and runs classes in the local Zion Arts Centre. Miller Homes were glad to be able to support the charity: "The work they do in the area is superb, and the energy they brought to the launch was just right." Says Carolyn.
Infusion is a development by Manchester City Council in partnership with Miller Homes and G.B. Building Solutions and funded by the Homes and Communities Agency. It offers 71 eco-rated homes including 7 new build homes and 64 renovated and converted properties. The renovated homes are being radically redeveloped, with innovative floor plans and designs. All the homes are being built or converted to very high standard of eco-friendliness, with solar panels, water butts, thermal "skin" insulation and sun pipes being used. The new build homes are built to Sustainable Homes Code Level 4. The result will offer a choice of 2-, 3- and 4-bed homes with low running costs.
Councillor Paul Andrews, Executive Member for Neighbourhood Services, said: "Improving housing quality and choice, and increasing owner occupation, is an essential part of the ongoing regeneration of Moss Side and South Manchester as a whole. This new development is part of the wider £17 million transformation of the Bowes Street neighbourhood which is transforming 155 properties in five streets. A shared equity scheme, under which the Council will retain the equity of up to 30 per cent of the property with the owner-occupier meeting the remainder will also help make these homes affordable."
"These homes are not only superb from an ecological perspective – and hence kind to the wallet" says Carolyn "They also deliver a great mix of quality homes at affordable prices for first time buyers and for families. The Infusion of the new with the old promises this will be a great place to live."

French Fall Fashion Finds
Over the years of traveling back and forth to Paris and Chicago I always noticed the changing Fashion Trends. I have taken notes over the years and prefer to pick up a few things when I am traveling for home. A sweater, a dress, or jacket. I remember being in sticker shock at the price of a coat at Sandro. It turned colder more quickly than I anticipated and my leather coat wasn't going to get me through. When I was shopping with the French guy I was dating he simply told me, "Yes, but you are going to wear it Season after Season, it is an investment piece" Well I ended up buying the coat (without the fur) and I will be wearing it for the third Winter. So I guess he was right.
Oversized Sweater
Pleated Skirt
I wore a pleated skirt for my latest photo shoot with Katie Donnelly and it is one of my favorite Fall Trends.
Floral Dresses
Color: Burgundy
Mango Knit Sweater Burgundy
Crush Velvet
Over The Knee Boot
Over The Knee Boot from Mango
My Favorite Fall Trend! I have been wanting a pair since "Devil Wears Prada" I will be snatching up a pair of these over the knee boots to wear all Fall/Winter.
I have found that European fashion trends take a season to really impact American Fashion. Make these notes as to not only what is in Fashion but what is to come for next year. What trends do you love the most and which ones do you plan to skip?

Kerala or Keralam is an Indian state located on the Malabar coast of south-west India, bordered by Karnataka on the north and northeast, Tamil Nadu on the east and south, and Arabian sea on the west. Keralam or Cheralam translates as Land of the Cheras, that is declivity of a hill or mountain slopeor range. The state capital is Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi and Kozhikode are the other major cities.The State is an ideal destination for its backwaters, yoga, ayurvedic treatments, tropical greenery and ideally called `God's own country'. Be blessed by God on the Kerala Holiday Package!
Tourist Attractions:
Kerala's western coastal belt is relatively flat, and is criss-crossed by a network of interconnected brackish canals, lakes, estuaries, and rivers known as the Kerala Backwaters. The largest body of water in the state is Lake Vembanad, a habitat for marine and freshwater fish species, dominating the Backwaters, which are an extensive network of interlocking rivers, lakes, and canals, that center around Alleppey, Kumarakom, Kollam and especially Punnamada, where the annual Nehru Trophy Boat Race is held in August. Cruising in house boats, called kettuvalams and originally used for carrying tons of rice and spices, has now been reworked into huge and slow moving barges used for leisure trips, captivating enough to dazzle the tourists, moving through these emerald waters! Kumarakom is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna, a Bird Sanctuary, where many species of migratory birds visit and if luck favours, the tourists may chance upon a Siberian Crane, a special visitor during the migratory season.
The Kerala Holiday Package is an established tourist destination for both Indians and non-Indians alike. Tourists mostly get attracted to the beaches at Kovalam,Cherai and Varkala,Kappad, Muzhappilangad and Bekal,the hill stations of Munnar, Nelliampathi, and Ponmudi,Wayanad, national parks and wildlife sanctuaries such as Periyarand Eravikulam National Park and Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary. Examples of exquisite artistry of Keralite architecture are also visible, as in the Padmanabhapuram Palace. The capital city of Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, called as the "Queen of the Arabian Sea", and Alappuzha called the "Venice of the East", are popular sites. . Almost a fourth of India's plant species are found in the state, most of which are endemic to Kerala, and form a major portion of their medicinal plants. Vellerimala with innumerable brooks, waterfalls and lush greenery is a perfect spot for picknickers and trekkers. The Tea Museum in Munnar, Numismatics Museum, Maritime Museum, Art Galleries, Archaelogical Museum, Teak Museum and Indo-Portugese Museums are other splendid destinations.There are several churches and temples, cave temples with rock engravings,including the revered spot of Sabarimala, which are worth a visit!
In Kerala, travellers would come across a variety of articles that reflect its culture, history, art and socio-religious aspects. The souvenirs come in a wide range of attractive and unique handmade items, the ones in demand being such as the Aranmula Kannadi (metal mirror), handicraft products made from coconut shells, wood, clay and cane, mural paintings and handloom apparel like the Kasavu saree, a saree with golden brocade. Typical Kerala souvenirs,gifts and momentos like the Uruli (wok), Para (brass miniature of a traditional measuring vessel), Kettuvallom (rice barge), Aranmula Kannadi (metal mirror), Nettipattam (caparison for elephants) and Nettor Petti (traditional jewellery box), may be purchased from the Culture Shoppe, the official agency to promote Kerala Souvenirs for the Department of Tourism, Government of Kerala. A Collectors` deco gathered on the Kerala Holiday Package!!
Cuisine in Kerala has roots in the history, geography and culture of the land. These can be classified under the two standard headings, vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. While the non-vegetarian dishes are all heavily spiced, the vegetarian repertoire is mildly spiced and feels especially easier on the non-native tongue. Sadhya, Ada Pradhaman, Avial, Erissery are sumptuous vegetarian fare whereas the non-vegetarian chicken curry, chicken thoran, dry prawns with cabbage, egg koottu, fish mappas, appam and chicken stew are competitive unanimously. The most popular dish is rice and curry, and dishes such as payasam, pulisherry, puttukadala, or puttupayar pappadam, puzhukku, rasam and sambar, are the typical authentic food spread!
Kerala experiences a wet climate with plenty of rainfall due to both the south-west and north-east monsoons. Prone to heavy monsoons, it has a wet tropical equatorial climate, though eastern Kerala experiences a drier clime, hence, it has varying temperatures. From mountains to valleys, rivers and plains, the state has endeared itself to tourists, making it one of the 'must-see' places in the world. The land of the Indian classical dance forms of Kathakali and Mohiniattam; the ancient martial art of Kalaripayattu; and, the historic boat race where the boatmen sing of the eternal friendship between Krishna, the great king and Sudama, his poor friend, will leave you with numerous clinging memories,on the Kerala Holiday Package, making you want to come back for more!!

Asset Transfers: The Next Step
By : Klein | Category : Uncategorized | Comments Off on Asset Transfers: The Next Step
24th Aug 2016
You have faced your fears of talking about death, your assets, taxes, and other planning matters and put into place a great estate plan including a living trust. A sigh of relief escapes you as you leave the attorney's office having signed your documents. "I'm done; I got it done," you think to yourself. But not quite…Don't forget about the asset transfers!
Once your trust is in place there is a next step that needs to be done. This step is almost as important as getting the documents signed. Without it, you have an incomplete plan. That step is transferring your assets into the name of or associated with your living trust. Why? You put into place a means to avoid probate when you signed your living trust. But the trust only avoids probate if it is fully funded with your assets. This is why a follow-up asset transfer meeting in person or by phone is important. Not putting assets in your trust is like getting a glass for a drink but not putting any water into it. The empty glass does nothing to quench your thirst and the empty trust does nothing to avoid probate. So do not brush this meeting off!
To be prepared for an asset transfer meeting, you should put together copies of statements on any accounts, insurance, stocks, bonds, and similar assets. You should also find any deeds on your real estate, copies of leases on real estate you own and self-financed notes owed to you. At the meeting, your assets are reviewed in detail and a plan is made for handling each asset. Some assets will be directly transferred to your trust via change of ownership or deeds. Other assets may be made payable on death/transfer on death to the trust. Each case is different based on the needs of the client. There are a few assets, such as vehicles and life estates that generally will not be transferred to your trust.
Remember you are a partner in the asset transfer process! While your estate planner may assist you with items such as deeds and filling out forms, you are needed to get those forms or access bank information as they are your accounts.
Don't forget assets you may acquire after your asset transfer meeting. All of your assets need to be placed into your trust to avoid probate. If you are unsure how to do that or if it is necessary, just call your estate planner. They want to hear from you when you acquire a new asset–not find out by your family after you are gone. You may be thinking that this sounds like a lot of work. It does require some effort on your part but your estate planner will guide you through it. Your heirs will appreciate you taking the time to do asset transfers to your trust as well as those taking care of you during incapacity. So take the next step and get it done!

Grainy Photo of Rumored Cadillac Flagship Coupe
In addition to the rumored flagship sedan, there are persistent rumors that a range-topping coupe model would also bow alongside. This would make some sense given Mercedes CL line (not to be confused with Cadillac's Ciel concept convertible) or BMW's 6-series coupe (though a new CTS Coupe would be this car's closest competition). Vince Burlapp has posted this grainy photo that appears to be from a design studio. However, this looks out of step enough with Cadillac's latest design language to suggest this is old and not indicative of what a high-end Cadillac coupe would look like. We'd think a fast roofline on the Ciel concept would be the most likely look for this product. Just sharing to be complete. Source: Vince Burlapp Car Page

The North Carolina Brownfields Program was established under the Brownfields Property Reuse Act of 1997 [NCGS 130A310.30 et seq.]. This statute authorizes North Carolina's Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to work with prospective developers, (provided they did not cause or contribute to site contamination) to promote the redevelopment of urban infill properties, old industrial sites, and other types of underutilized, environmentally impaired real estate.
In North Carolina, to date just over 375 brownfields agreements (BFAs) have been recorded and over $15 billion of resulting real estate investment and development has occurred. Another 200 agreement applications are being processed at this time. Brownfields projects are located across the state, and in Raleigh they include the iconic Pilot Mills near William Peace University, new student housing at NC State, Raleigh CAM, new luxury townhouses near the Five Points neighborhood, Raleigh Union Station, and a host of other successful developments.
First and foremost, the Brownfields Property Reuse Act is a law to promote development and site reuse—it is not a cleanup program and it does not impose liability. It is recognized as a national model and considered development-friendly. It is implemented via a brownfields agreement entered into between DEQ and the prospective developer. The program was established to encourage redevelopment that may not otherwise occur due to environmental concerns.
Moreover, the program provides the following substantial benefits:
- Strong liability protection from the state in the form of a covenant not to sue. Such a covenant can increase marketability and aid in project financing, and can be transferred to subsequent owners and other stakeholders.
- Expensive cleanup actions are typically avoided and simple administrative land use covenants are used to ensure that site development and reuse proceeds in a safe manner.
- Property taxes are reduced by approximately 50% on constructed improvements for five years after redevelopment occurs, under a special tax exclusion provided by the Brownfields Program and North Carolina's tax statutes.
As discussed above, to promote brownfields redevelopment, North Carolina enacted a provision under its taxation statutes (General Statute §105-277.13: Taxation of improvements on brownfields) that excludes a portion of the appraised value of the improved brownfields property from both city and county ad valorem taxation. Simplistically stated the exclusion applies to the appraised value of the property and improvements after redevelopment, less the prior tax assessment value.
The exclusion reduces property taxes on a front-end-loaded sliding scale for five years based on the following schedule: Year 1 - 90%, Year 2 - 70%, Year 3 - 50%, Year 4 - 30%, and Year 5 - 10%. This results in a net tax savings of approximately 50% in total over the five-year period when the exclusion applies.

I been thinking a lot about courage.
Those who survive trauma are often called brave, as if bravery were a by-product of suffering- a purple heart for a psychological wound.
Yesterday I rejected being called brave.
I don't feel brave, I feel pieced together.
Then I realized bravery isn't about surviving, bravery is about speaking out.
Surviving is easy, exposing the truth is terrifying.
Honesty leaves one vulnerable to scrutiny.
It's rocking the boat instead of paddling along like a nice girl.
It's calling out the perpetrators of unkindness, the ones who spend their lives blaming everyone around them for their unhappiness.
Perpetrators are self-victimizing poltroons craving attention and shifting the blame to others.
They inflict pain on others then cry victimization when called on their actions.
So yes, I am brave.
Brave enough to stand up to liars and bullies.
Truth is my weapon, and I'm not afraid to use it.

Okay, I've decided against the dellorto for now, didn't really like the non-japanese looks on my mostly japanese bike.
So I've found myself another 20mm powerjet carburettor to adapt to my c110 racebike.
Started making some flanges, using an intake rubber I had laying around.
Bit more modern then the S65 rubber on the other setup, but that is moving over to my C110 streetbike to be a period correct upgrade over the original 16mm carburettor. Just because I use it daily if possible and in modern traffic, every bit of power is welcome. The 16mm with all bits belonging to it will be stored so the bike could be brought back to original when wanted.

Our tentative itinerary includes time in Strasbourg and in Paris. The travel days (flights and train) are set in stone, but other items are subject to change. In Strasbourg we will stay at the Gare Hotel; in Paris we will stay at the Timhotel Paris Place d'Italie. Breakfast each day is provided in the hotels; unless group lunches or dinners are specifically noted in the schedule students are on their own for those meals. We will provide you with a public transit passes for Strasbourg and Paris.
Students should have maps of Strasbourg and Paris and guidebooks for each city. Some items not on our official itinerary that would suggest seeing include the Strasbourg Cathedral (Mass times) and Grand Mosque (visitors page), and spectacularly gory paintings of hell in the Musée de l'Œuvre Notre-Dame (information).

The plot of the story deals with a boy and his lifelong dream. All his life Rudi Matt had dreamed of climbing the most feared mountain in all of Kurtal. He was never allowed to climb by his mother or his uncle but was raised to be in the hotel business. Rudi could not hold in what he and everyone else knew what he was meant to be, the first person to climb the Citedal. Ever since Rudi's dad Josef Matt died while climbing the Citedal, no one dreamed of coming close to the mountain. The villagers thought that there were demons and ghosts on the mountain. Even though no one believed Rudi could never be a guide or even a could climber, Rudi knew it was in his blood and knew he had to climb that mountain.
The most often talked about main character is Rudi Matt. He is Josef Matt's son.
Rudi was always being picked on and people always called him names like angel face and dishwasher. Even though everyone always put him down he was determined and had a strong will to be the best climber. Franz Lerner was Rudi's uncle. He was another great guide of Kurtal. He was well respected by everyone. He obeyed Rudi's moms wishes of having Rudi in the hotel business and tried his hardest to make him stay there and not escape to the mountains. He was also scared of the Citedal and told himself that he would never climb it but in the end he did because he knew he had to. Captain John Winter was an Englishman and was one of the greatest climbers in all of the world. Rudi ended up meeting him once and saved his life. Saxo was a man from Broli which was Kurtal's rival town. He went up on the climb with Captain Winter, Rudi, and Franz. He was a huge muscular man and was a great guide even though no one from Kurtal would admit it.
The setting of the story is simple. It takes place in a little town in Switzerland called Kurtal. Everyone in Kurtal is scared of the Citedal except Rudi Matt. You never really find out when in time the story takes place and you never even get any clues. There is also talk of Kurtal's rival town Broli where Saxo is from. The two towns have always hated each other and always boast on how much better they are from the other.
The story is told in a 3rd person point of view. I think that if it was told in a first person it wouldn't be very good because in 3rd person the narrator tells the thoughts of everyone not like in 1st person where it would just be one person's thoughts. So the author made the right choice.
I think that the theme of the story, from what I could tell is that if a person really has a desire to do something, and has it burning inside them, that they can do if they give it their all. Rudi Matt gave it his all to climb the greatest mountain in Citedal. So that tells me that if I really want to do something and put all I got into that I can do it.
I have no idea why I like this story because I have never been interested in mountain climbing and don't know anything about. I like this story because I like all stories that deal with doing something that seems impossible. I just think the writer did a great job. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes to read. I think it's easy to get in to right away in the beginning and the plot line never goes down.

Goodreads Synopsis: A teen escapes to a boarding school abroad and falls for a Korean pop star in this fun and fresh romantic novel in the vein of Anna and the French Kiss.
Grace Wilde is running—from the multi-million dollar mansion her record producer father bought, the famous older brother who's topped the country music charts five years in a row, and the mother who blames her for her brother's breakdown. Grace escapes to the farthest place from home she can think of, a boarding school in Korea, hoping for a fresh start.
She wants nothing to do with music, but when her roommate Sophie's twin brother Jason turns out to be the newest Korean pop music superstar, Grace is thrust back into the world of fame. She can't stand Jason, whose celebrity status is only outmatched by his oversized ego, but they form a tenuous alliance for the sake of her friendship with Sophie. As the months go by and Grace adjusts to her new life in Korea, even she can't deny the sparks flying between her and the KPOP idol.
Soon, Grace realizes that her feelings for Jason threaten her promise to herself that she'll leave behind the music industry that destroyed her family. But can Grace ignore her attraction to Jason and her undeniable pull of the music she was born to write? Sweet, fun, and romantic, this young adult novel explores what it means to experience first love and discover who you really are in the process.
Commentary: When I first about this book, I immediately put in on my to be read list. I really love KPOP and I thought it was going to be super interesting!! Now, I had mixed feelings about the book before I got it. It could have been great or a train wreck. Well, this book was a bit of a train wreck for me. Grace Wilde, the main protagonist, was so annoying!! She made Americans look bad! She was quite nosy, she wanted to know everything personal about the secondary characters, it's like she has never heard of privacy…and insensitive about Korean culture. First of all, she didn't really want to go to South Korea. She chose the first school according to Google results. If she really wanted to get away from her family, she should have chosen a place where she wanted to go to…that's one of my main problems with this book. She could have at least been a bit more enthusiastic about her stay there, but no. Also, I thought Jason Bae was going to be in a Korean pop group, but that wasn't the case. He was in a band, and Grace was so suprised that Koreans play instruments like Westerners. Secondly, I don't think this book is for any KPOP fan at all. There weren't really any references to KPOP…The book mainly focused on the developing love-hate relationship between Jason and Grace. I was very disappointed because this book was really hyped up. I felt sorry for Jason since there was a lot of miscommunication between he and Grace. Grace was mostly angry and quite annoying, I don't know how he and his band member fell for her. She constantly got angry at Jason…and overreacted to so many situations…I don't know how I even finished the book. I also felt that the second guy was a bit pointless. I feel that the author tried to create drama between the characters, but I believe that it didn't work since Grace was too distracted by Jason and how hot he was. The secondary characters were fun. I really like Sophie, Jason's twin. She was really nice and helpful to Grace. I would have loved if Grace's sister, Jane, were the protagonist! It would have made this book a little more readable. In addition, the synopsis says that Grace wanted to get away from the music industry, but that's a lie. She was willing to help out Jason out with his song. Whoever wrote the synopsis should rewrite because it fooled me! The book title is based off The Door's song, Hello I Love You. Lastly, I really couldn't stand Grace. She was snobby and wasn't really willing to learn in her new environment. Was the book worth the price? No, I found it to be a tad expensive for a meh book. Would I recommend it for my fellow KPOP fans? Absolutely not. I would rather read KPOP fanfictions on Wattpad.
Final Rating: ⭐⭐ (1.5)

J. S. McLean
The McLean Foundation was established in 1945 by the late Mr. J. S. McLean with an initial gift of $505,400. Mr. McLean made additional gifts from time to time until his death on September 1st, 1954. These gifts, augmented by a bequest under his will, totalled $1,301,000.
Mr. and Mrs. J.S. McLean were avid supporters and collectors of the arts, most notably works of the Group of Seven and other Canadian artists, such as Tom Tomson, David Milne and Emily Carr. The directors of the Foundation have chosen to feature on the website an Emily Carr painting, Red Tree, c. 1938, which was a gift to the Art Gallery of Ontario from the J.S. McLean Collection, by Canada Packers Inc., in 1990. This represents a culmination of Mr. and Mrs. J.S. McLean's interests in conservation of the Canadian environment, and as well their interest in the arts.
Mrs. J. S. McLean also made gifts and bequests to the Foundation, to a total value of approximately $450,000. Mr. and Mrs. McLean's children, Mr. William F. McLean and Mrs. Mary F. Stewart, made bequests to the Foundation in their wills in 2001 and 2009 respectively.
The net assets of the Foundation have now grown to $56,017,654 based on market values at December 31, 2017.
The investment policy followed by the Foundation represents an attempt to steer a middle course between fixed income investments, which offer the highest immediate income but little protection against inflation, and common stocks, which generally yield a relatively low immediate dividend but which show promise of dividend growth and appreciation in value. By this means, the Directors hope to provide substantial income available for current disbursement, with a reasonable prospect that income in future years may grow sufficiently to permit meaningful contributions in line with the increasing needs of recipient organizations.
In the 73 years of its existence, The McLean Foundation has received investment income of $49,218,427 and has paid out a total of $54,726,930.
An analysis by category of donations paid out from 1945 to 2017 is shown in Figure 1. During the past year, the Foundation has paid out a total of $2,075,082. An analysis by category is shown in Figure 2.

Theater & Arts
Artists you should know: 1/4 to Four
Initially, pianist Henry Winckel set out to record a solo jazz CD.
Yet ideas change -- and his end product was a group featuring Jimmy Haslip of The Yellowjackets and Paul Perez of Tower of Power.
We talked to Winckel about his group 1/4 to Four and its CD, "Night Owl."
This started as a solo project and ended as a group of four, plus guests. Is the result anything like you expected at the start? No, the way the album turned out has far exceeded my initial expectations. When I started, I didn't anticipate that some of the industry's top session players would be playing on it.
Why jump from doing a solo project to a group project? I'd written and recorded about six tunes, playing all the piano, bass, drum and background parts on synthesized and sampled instruments. At that point, I decided I wanted to add some real saxophone. So I hired former Tower of Power saxophonist Paul Perez, and it just snowballed from there, in a very good way.
Jazz is a wide genre. Tell us more about your particular sound. I would say it falls most closely into the smooth-jazz category the same way the Yellowjackets fall into that category, meaning the songs are not made up of a four-bar loop that just repeats endlessly. The music is very melodic and easy to listen to. And although the musical themes may sound deceptively simple, there's a complexity to them that keeps the tunes interesting, but not to the extent that you lose your listeners because they can't tell where the improvisation starts and the melody begins.
I know you were especially proud to have Jimmy Haslip of The Yellowjackets as a guest. How did that happen? That was Paul's idea. We sent Jimmy a CD with a rough mix and asked if he'd play on three of the tunes. He called back the next day and asked if he could play on two more because he really dug the tunes. I figured that was a really good indication we had something special. In the end, Jimmy wound up playing on seven of the album's 13 tracks.
Where can people pick up the CD? How much does it cost? The CD costs $15. It can be bought online at CD Baby or downloaded from sites such as iTunes, Napster and Rhapsody. CDs are also available at Sierra Trophy in Porterville, and Coffee Etc., Giffords Market and Lavender Garden, all in Springville. I also sell them through my Web site, www.myspace.com/henrywinckelpianistcomposer.

Re: Flyteone is the perfect company for aircraft ownership
There have been several attempts to post a similiar scheme here. I don't know why anyone would be interested in paying down a large amount of money and get nothing but a piece of paper in return. Most of these schemes do not get you any equity and when they file bankruptcy, you get nothing. Maybe this one is different.

With Georgetown's rapid growth and main attraction as a tourist destination, it is no surprise that both seasoned and new developers are drawn to the site. One of the small players aspiring to establish its presence in the island of Penang is Appresquare Sdn Bhd. It is a less known name in property development who hopes to amp up its lacklustre reputation with developments such as Residence 21. The freehold condominium project was completed in 2012 neighbouring Arratoon Court, Mayfair Condominium and Birch Plaza Times Square.
Bungalow in the Sky
Rising as a 28-storey one-block condominium, Residence 21 has only 25 limited units boasting ultra spacious areas. Built-up size measures 5,500 sq.ft. featuring 4+1 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. Privacy and exclusivity are primal aspects of the project with only 1 unit per floor. There are no neighbours to deal with and no interruptions to one's peace at your bungalow in the sky. For a chance to a lifestyle such as this, expect a minimum investment of RM2.83 million to RM3.55 million.
At first glance, the price tag is steep and too much. But if its genuine privacy you're looking for in a thriving town like Georgetown, you need a set-up just like that of Residence 21. Just the same, it's always wise to double check on the property's fair market value which you can accomplish using our free valuation guide.
[customx name="Residence 21″ rating="4.3″ best="5″ worst="1″ pricerange="$$$$$" count="4604″]
Special Features & Topnotch Facilities
Designed for the privileged few, Residence 21 did not hold back when it comes to special features and cutting edge facilities. Each unit, for instance, boasts of five balconies overlooking an enthralling view of the island's skyline. That's one for every room and in the living area creating a conducive atmosphere for one's home. Other perks include 4 covered parking lots and exclusive voice of condo facilities which include:
> infinity pool
> Jacuzzi
> sauna
> gymnasium
> barbecue area
> reflexology path
> community hall
Finally, keeping the luxury condominium safe and secure is the round the clock security together with card access system.
Smacked Amidst Modern Conveniences
Situated along Jalan Macalister in bustling Georgetown, Residence 21 is pleasantly nestled amidst an abundance of amenities. A short walk or drive away are numerous options of restaurants, cafes, food joints and other establishments. Shopping is covered with a number of shopping complexes nearby including Prangin and 1st Avenue Malls.
For residents with children, there are ample schools in the vicinity. Some of the nearest options are Union Primary School, KDU College Penang, SMK Methodist and Westland's Secondary School. Medically, residents can head over to Hospital Pulau Pinang and as for recreation, there's always the New World Park and Penang Turf Club.
With great location comes excellent connectivity. Lucky for Residence 21, it is well linked to other key destinations by a network of major roads. Jalan Macalister is a prime example allowing residents to travel in and out of the site in a breeze. Other routes include Jalan Dato Keramat, Perak and a major expressway – Tun Dr. Lim Chong Eu.
Our Two Cents Worth
If only for its promise of privacy and superb location, Residence 21 is on a league of its own. With its ultra spacious and meticulously designed units, the condominium has given a new dimension to exclusive modern living in Georgetown. It is enticingly attractive for its launch price tag of RM2.75 million onwards. Yes, it is a steep price to pay for privacy and comfort, but those who value it more than anything are sure to see the condominium's appeal.
There's just one drawback though. Given its developer's lack of buzz and a solid track record, some investors may think twice. On one hand, if you wish to know more, you can always grab our free ebook guide below to gauge the property's fair market value.

Scheduling bedding plants in flower for exact market dates is challenging considering the diversity of crops produced. Rising energy costs and shrinking profit margins have made it important to improve scheduling and efficiency of crop production. At Michigan State University (MSU), we have performed experiments with many seed propagated annuals to quantify how temperature and daily light integral (DLI) influence flowering time and plant quality.
In the eighth article of this series, we present crop timing data on annuals rudbeckia (Rudbeckia hirta) and viola (Viola cornuta) and then use that information to estimate greenhouse heating costs at different locations, growing temperatures and finish dates.
Materials & Methods
Seeds of rudbeckia 'Becky Cinnamon Bicolor' and viola 'Sorbet Plum Velvet' were sown in 288-cell plug trays by C. Raker & Sons, then grown in controlled environmental growth chambers at MSU at 68°F (20°C). Inside the chambers, the photoperiod was 16 hours and the DLI was 9 to 11 mol∙m¯²âˆ™d¯¹.
When plugs were ready for transplant (31 to 38 days after seed sow), they were thinned to one seedling per plug and transplanted into 4-inch (10-centimeter) pots and grown in greenhouses with constant temperature set points of 58, 63, 68 and 73°F (14, 17, 20 and 23°C).
At each temperature, plants were grown under a 16-hour photoperiod with two different DLIs provided by sunlight, a combination of shade curtains and different supplemental lighting intensities from high-pressure sodium lamps. Rudbeckia is an obligate long-day crop and must be grown under long days for flowering. Violas do not require long days for flowering, but flower faster if grown under long days.
Our experiments were performed once with viola and twice with rudbeckia to obtain average DLIs that ranged from 3.5 to 20 mol∙m¯²âˆ™d¯¹. To give perspective, a DLI of 3.5 mol∙m¯²âˆ™d¯¹ is representative of light conditions received by a northern greenhouse on a cloudy day in the winter. A DLI of 20 mol∙m¯²âˆ™d¯¹ is typical for inside a greenhouse on a mid- to late spring day.
The flowering date was recorded for each plant when rudbeckia had one whorl of petals fully reflexed and when viola had one open flower. When each plant flowered, plant height, number of leaves and number of flowers and flower buds were recorded.
Crop timing data were used to develop mathematical models to predict flowering time and plant quality under different temperature and DLI conditions. The Virtual Grower software was used to estimate the cost to heat a 21,504 square foot greenhouse (about half an acre) to produce each crop for different finish dates and at different locations in the United States.
Time to flower of rudbeckia and viola decreased as average daily temperature increased. In rudbeckia grown under a DLI of 10 mol∙m¯²âˆ™d¯¹, time to flower from a 288-cell plug decreased from 82 days at 58°F to 45 days at 73°F (Figure 1). This data illustrates that flowering of rudbeckia is considerably delayed when grown at cool temperatures.
For example, rudbeckia grown at 58°F would flower almost three weeks later than if the crop was grown at 63°F under the same light conditions. Viola had a comparatively faster crop time: Time to flower from a 288-cell plug decreased from 34 days at 58°F to 19 days at 73°F when the DLI was 10 mol∙m¯²âˆ™d¯¹ (Figure 2).
An increase in DLI also accelerated flowering of rudbeckia and viola. For example, when DLI increased from 4 to 10 mol∙m¯²âˆ™d¯¹, time to flower decreased by 12 days in rudbeckia and 17 days in viola when grown at 63°F. The estimated saturation DLI for the shortest time to flower was 10.5 mol∙m¯²âˆ™d¯¹ for rudbeckia. In other words, increasing the DLI above this value did not shorten crop time. Viola was only grown under a DLI of 3.5 to 12 mol∙m¯²âˆ™d¯¹ and the saturation DLI is greater than 12 mol∙m¯²âˆ™d¯¹.
To illustrate the effect of temperature on crop times, we identified dates that 288-cell plugs grown under long days would need to be transplanted for two market dates when grown long days and 10 mol∙m¯²âˆ™d¯¹ of light (Table 1). The crops grown at the same temperatures but under lower light levels or under a short photoperiod (less than 14 hours) would take longer to flower.
The number of inflorescences or flower buds at first flowering increased as average daily temperature decreased and as DLI increased. For example, at 63°F, as DLI increased from 4 to 12 mol∙m¯²âˆ™d¯¹, the number of flower buds increased by 66 percent in rudbeckia and by 38 percent in viola. Plants grown at 73°F and under 4 mol∙m¯²âˆ™d¯¹ had the fewest flowers and were the poorest quality. Therefore, there is a tradeoff with quick crop timing and high plant quality, especially when the DLI is low.
Rudbeckia were shortest at flower when grown cool and under high light. In viola, temperature and DLI did not influence plant height.
Heating Costs
The production temperature that had the lowest estimated heating costs to produce a flowering crop of rudbeckia and viola varied among locations and market dates. We estimated that to produce a flowering crop of rudbeckia for April 1, a greenhouse located in Grand Rapids, Mich., New York, N.Y., Charlotte, N.C., or Cleveland, Ohio, would consume 14 to 24 percent less heating per square foot if the crop was transplanted on February 15 and grown at 73°F compared to the same crop transplanted earlier and grown at 58°F (Table 2).
In other words, a shorter crop time at a warm temperature required less energy for heating on a per-crop basis than a longer crop time at a cool temperature. However, for a greenhouse located in San Francisco, Calif., Tallahassee, Fla., or Fort Worth, Texas, heating costs would increase 9 to 40 percent if rudbeckia were grown for April 1 at 73°F, instead of 58°F.
At a temperature of 58 to 73°F and under a DLI of 10 mol∙m¯²âˆ™d¯¹, viola had a four- to seven-week shorter crop time than rudbeckia. Thus, for all locations and finish dates, a finish crop of viola was predicted to consume 56 to 88 percent less energy for heating than to produce rudbeckia. At some locations, the most energy-efficient production temperature varied between market dates.
For example, rudbeckia grown for April 1 in Grand Rapids, Mich., New York, N.Y., or Charlotte, N.C. is projected to require less heating when grown at 73°F, while a crop grown for May 15 would consume the least amount of energy for heating if grown at 68°F.
We encourage growers to use this crop scheduling information with Virtual Grower to determine the most energy-efficient production temperature for your location and market date. The cost of energy for heating is just one of the many production expenses for greenhouse crops.
Other factors, such as the number of crop turns and overhead costs, should also be considered when choosing the most economical growing temperature for each floriculture crop producer. The impact of temperature and DLI on plant quality, and response variability among cultivars, should also be considered.

WALTHAM, Mass. – Three Brandeis Judges have been selected as University Athletic Association Players of the Week for their performances during the week of Sept. 10-16. Senior Emily Bryson of Quincy, Massachusetts, was honored for women's cross country, while senior Jackson Kogan of Los Angeles, California, and rookie Adam Tzeng of Eagle, Idaho, were honored for men's tennis.
Bryson took home UAA weekly honors for the eighth time in her career for cross country. She earned the award for winning the 2018 UMass Dartmouth Invitational. Bryson, who had previously finished fourth, third and second in the race, finally crossed the tape first, covering the five-kilometer race with a time of 17:54.6, easily besting runner-up Sydney Packard of WPI by 20 full seconds. It was Bryson's second-fastest time on the UMass Dartmouth course by four seconds, after her third-place finish in 2016.
The 25th-ranked Judges won the team trophy at the event as well, scoring 56 points to best second-place Trinity (Conn.) by 49. Brandeis is back in action on Sept. 29 at Bowdoin College.
For Kogan and Tzeng, this was the first UAA weekly honor for both. The doubles pairing captured the top flight of the 2018 Middlebury Invitational in Brandeis's first event of the 2018-19 season on Sept. 15-16. They knocked off Schuermann and Hwang from Colby, 8-4, in the opening round. In the quarterfinals, they upset top-seeded and host pairing of Cuba and Eazor in a tiebreaker, 9-8 (7-2). After taking down Sorkin and Grant of Tufts in the semifinals, 8-5, the Judges owned a 4-0 lead on Quijano and Glover of Bates before the Bobcat duo were forced to retire, giving the title to the Judges.
As a team, Brandeis performed well at the Middlebury Invitational, reaching six finals and winning three flights. In addition to Kogan and Tzeng, sophomores Rajan Vohra and Nikhil Das won the B doubles flight, while senior Tyler Ng won the D singles flight. The Judges are back in action on the Sept. 29 weekend at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association regional championships, which will also be held at Middlebury.
Bryson is a 2015 graduate of North Quincy High School.
Kogan is a 2015 graduate of Windward School.
Tzeng is a 2018 graduate of Eagle High School.

This blog has moved. I started this blog as a place to write about my crafts. But, as I wrote and shared, I realized that there were other things close to my heart. Other things I enjoy sharing. And so, I outgrew Nicole's Craftastic Life, and my online journey has a new home.
You can still find me on blogger, if you follow me there, or if you type in the old address, and you will be getting the same content as everybody else. But, my blog is now a website! You can find me at www.septembersweetheart.com.
So, welcome to September Sweetheart!
Now, instead of a blog about random things, posing as a craft blog, September Sweetheart is about the things I find passion for. While you will still find posts about whatever strikes my heart or is on my mind, this blog is mostly about my passions. Family, crafting, and leading a happier, healthier lifestyle.
While you are not going to get daily posts, I'm aiming to provide you with more quality, but you know...it's still a learning process.
Why September Sweetheart (of course you are dieing to know)? Easy. September is the best month, because it's the month I married my sweetheart.
Hope you enjoy the new space!
