Long lasting, professionally installed, fully guaranteed
No more gulls on your roof or chimney
Effective deterrents to stop pigeon infestations
Bird Control Services in Kent.
Professional installation of pigeon and seagull deterrents.
Our Bird Control company in Kent install bird proofing deterrents to prevent pigeons and gulls from causing a nuisance, nesting and damaging property from excessive bird droppings.
In addition to our comprehensive bird control products we can also provide a bespoke service such the installation of low level stands on flat roofs with netting protection. This is an excellent deterrent where gulls are trying to nest.
Our range of bird control products:
Bird Control Netting
A versatile deterrent that can be installed in a great number of ways to protect properties against seagulls and pigeons.
It is particularly useful where a large expanse needs to be protected making ideal for large roof coverings to act as a canopy or to protect air conditioning systems and building fascias.
Seagull netting and pigeon netting come in a variety of colours and is both rot proof and fire retardant.
Pigeon Control Spikes
We can install different types of pigeon spikes in both metal and clear plastic. Both are long lasting and not affected by the elements – even in the harshest of weather!
Pigeon spikes can be installed in a great number of places including roof edges, shop signage, ledges, arched areas, lighting, gutters and roof ridges.
Seagull Spikes
Gull spikes differ from pigeon spikes as they are longer and made from stainless steel. We can install spikes on and around chimney breast – a common place for gulls to nest, on roof ridges, around roof edges and on ledges.
Note: Bird control spikes are fixed into place with a long lasting high tack adhesive that works in all weathers. In certain circumstances they can be fixed into place with screws.
Post and Wire
A long lasting deterrent made up of stainless steel posts, wire and tension springs. Can be installed on ledges and roof edges, roof ridges or sills. We install post and wire at different heights depending on the type of bird problem which will deter them from landing.
Can be drilled into place or secured with pads or adhesive.
Solar Panel Bird Control
Birds being crafty are now finding shelter under solar panel systems which provide security, warmth and the ideal nesting area.
To combat this we install a mesh system around all the solar panel units which we secure with specially designed clips designed for the panels.
Once installed we guarantee birds will not be able to gain access.
We also work alongside local solar panel companies in Kent by fitting protection prior to the scaffold or access coming down which can save on future expense.
Other Bird Deterrents
Daddi Long Legs – A great product that can be fixed into place with adhesive or screws. Ideal for flat roofs, street lighting, boats, marinas and docks.
Electronic bird scarers– We can install electronic devices which mimic the distress calls of a number of bird species.
Our bird scarers can be installed to work during the day, at night or all of the time. Designed to sound a distress every 10 minutes in 2 minute bursts. Volume control and light sensor built in.
Bird Waste Cleaning
Best left to the professionals who have the right respiratory equipment and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
We highly recommend bird waste cleaning prior to any installation of bird control products on your property in Kent.
Bird waste can be hazardous if left to build up.
If you have identified a problem call us as soon as possible to get bird guano removed.
Unsure what you need?
We will be happy to visit your property in Kent to discuss the best options to get rid of your pest bird problem. Call us or send an email to arrange a free site visit.

With Scott Pilgrim vs. The World off to build its cult following on DVD and Blu-ray, writer/director Edgar Wright is now turning his attention to the Marvel superhero movie, Ant-Man. Wright recently spoke with 24 Frames about the film and said that he's now writing the script with The Adventures of Tintin collaborator Joe Cornish. However, Ant-Man, due to his relative anonymity in the mainstream, doesn't have to stand as a Marvel tentpole:
"This one's not about about the urgency of summer tentpoles and things going into production without a script," said Wright, who approached Marvel with the "Ant-Man" idea. "It's slightly different than that."
Wright previously stated he wants the Ant-Man to be "a shrinking film about a bad-ass secret agent." For those unfamiliar with the character, hit the jump. Also, if you're in Los Angeles, be sure to check out Wright's new film series at the New Beverly, The Wright Stuff 2.
From the Marvel Universe Wiki:
Dr. Henry "Hank" Pym was a brilliant scientist who spent much of his time in his lab. At one point, he met and married the beautiful Maria Trovaya. Unfortunately, when travelling in her home country of Bratislavia, she was captured by revolutionaries, and, despite Pym's efforts, she was killed.
One day he discovered a process in which he would manipulate a newly discovered group of subatomic particles through magnetic fields. Pym tested the serums on himself, and had accidentally shrunk himself to the size of an ant and was trapped inside an anthill. Once normal sized, Pym destroyed the serums, thinking that they were too dangerous . He rethought his decision, and recreated the serums, dubbing them "Pym Particles" and developing a formula that would enable himself to shrink and return to normal size. He also worked on a cybernetic helmet to enable him to communicate and study ants. Pym was also working on behalf of the government to find to work on a formula to help provide immunity to low-level radiation. It was then that several Soviet KGB Agents broke in, attempting to kill Pym and destroy his work. Pym donned the cybernetic helmet and newly designed protective suit, shrank himself, and escaped outside, to the anthill. There, he gained control of the ants, and attacked the agents and freed his assistants.
Pym began to adventure as the hero Ant-Man, often running up against the villain Egghead. About the same time, he created the robot Ultron-1,who brainwashed Pym into forgetting this achievement and only revealed itself many months later, becoming his archenemy. In the meantime, he was contacted by the father of Janet Van Dyne to help him in his scientific experiments. Pym soon fell in love with Janet, who reminded him of a young Maria. When her father was captured by the aliens he was trying to contact, Pym as Ant-Man came to rescue him. Ant-Man revealed his identity to Janet, and Pym convinced her to join him as his partner, engineering her body to become his sidekick, the Wasp.

Infinite position, customized motion means that you can find the position that best suits you, whether you need to soothe back pain or relax and watch TV. This gentle motion is suitable for all levels of mobility, and is as easy to use as a single touch. Since you need to plug in your power recliner anyway, it just makes sense that they are now available with built-in USB charging ports for powering up your phones and devices. Additional charge may apply.
When you've got the back of the recliner in the resting position, it's a huge hassle to adjust back to the sitting position for watching TV. Now you can save your neck and maintain a perfect viewing angle for TV or reading with this power headrest recliner. The same gentle power motion that lets you customize the position of your back and legrest allows you to adjust the headrest angle to better cradle your body.
Leather match is an industry term that denotes different qualities of material used on different parts of an upholstered piece. To help make the piece more affordable, top grain leather is used on the parts that touch your body, while a lower quality split-grain leather or color-matched vinyl is used on the back and sides.
Use the built-in console to store remotes, chargers, and other small items that could easily get lost in the depths of cushions.
Keep your drink within reach as you enjoy a movie or a sporting event. Having built in cup holders also helps eliminate spills and stains.
Don't be fooled by the technical jargon- Blue Steel and Dualflex springs are the real deal. The manufacturer's innovative, time-tested Blue Steel springs and the updated Dualflex system are made of heavy-duty materials and never need retying or replacing. If you don't believe it, the spring system can be replaced by the manufacturer at any time thanks to a lifetime warranty.
This recliner has a no-gap cushion that extends from the seat to the feet. This style offers fuller comfort and support for your legs, and eliminates the open gap that toddlers can get fingers or toys stuck in.
Make this piece less cumbersome by removing the back(s) when you are moving in or out of your home.
Make your movie night that much more special with plush seating and power-adjustable motion. Find the position that works for you with independent buttons for power recline and adjustable headrest. You're totally set up for effortless TV and movie viewing with handy access to cupholders, a storage compartment for remote controls, and built-in USB ports for powering up your phone or tablet. The handsome leather cover with baseball glove topstitching makes this loveseat stand out from the crowd.

I have more than a little stress in my life right now since we are currently packing for our big move to the new townhouse on April 12th. We are also packing up my day job since we are relocating to a new building the following week on the 17th. I've been told I'm a glutten for punishment. It can be a lot of pressure experiencing that much change.
In times like these I've learned the benefits of a good romance. Lucky for me, on Tuesday, March 26th, a couple of great ones were released. I picked up the latest Shelly Laurenston romance, Wolf With Benefits. It's the 8th book in the pride series and it certainly delivers what I've come to expect. A crazy mix of shape shifters, sports, but more specifically hockey, a crime, and an unusual couple. It's as strange as it sounds, but it always comes together and just flat-out works.
This installment of the series centered around Ricky Lee, one of the infamous Reed boys of the New York Smith wolf pack, and Antonella "Toni" Jean-Louis Parker, jackal shifter and the only one who can manage her ten child prodigy siblings. Ricky Lee is looking to avoid the females of his pack because an ex-girlfriend from Tennessee comes to town and they all decide to be sorry for him, when he runs into Toni. She's reluctantly trying to build a life that doesn't revolve around her siblings schedules. Humor and adventure quickly ensue.
Due to the skills she learned wrangling her siblings, she gets a dream job managing the travel arrangements for the shifter only professional hockey team, the Carnivores. She soon finds herself traveling to Russia to negotiate a game deal with a Russian bear team with Ricky as her security.
While they're busy in Russia finding love, her family and friends are busy finding trouble. As you might expect from this series, many of the couples who came together in previous books (including the Magnus Pack series) make appearances that ranged from brief cameos to integral part of the story. If you're a fan of the series you might remember Bo Novikov and Blayne Thorpe. His lovable OCD tendencies fit right in with the Jean-Louis Parker kids.
When Toni and Ricky Lee return from Russia they find one of the younger children, Freddie, is in danger from his sociopathic older sister Deliliah, who has joined a cult. With a little outside support from the security company and a few others, Toni and Ricky Lee set things right.
Two newer characters that I enjoyed were Olivia "Livy" Kowalski and Vic Barinov. We meet him in Russia as part of the security team and he follows the happy couple home from Russia to help with the trouble. Livy is Toni's best friend. A lot of time is spent just guessing what kind of shifter she is.
In several of Shelly Laurenston's books she drops hints about who might be next to get the relationship focus. I'm fairly certain Livy is next. What I'm not so sure about is who she might be getting together with. For a while I thought Reese Reed might be the one. He spent most of the book fascinated with her and her scent, or rather what type of shifter her scent identified her as. Bet then Vic came on the scene. Now I'm just not sure. Guess I'll be finding out this time next year! And let me tell you I can't wait!
Shelly Laurenston never fails to make me laugh out loud. While that's not what I look for all the time in a novel, when I'm under this much stress it's just what the doctor ordered. If you've never read one of her books and need a pick me up, I highly recommend them. They're fun and just a little unexpected. Can't wait to work in some more reading time while I pack, so back to the grind stone. How are you all re-leaving stress? Read any good romances lately?

Pacific Island News Media Struggle to Stay Afloat
It's no secret that the Pacific Islands will face rising sea levels, coastal flooding, and deadly storms as a result of climate change, a fact reiterated in this week's report by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Unfortunately, few people realize that these island nations are also home to a disappearing press sector.
While the tourist industries in countries like the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau have benefited from their sandy beaches, palm forests, and stunning atolls, local journalists and news agencies often struggle to make ends meet. Financial problems, old and rundown infrastructure, and poor training can critically undermine the development of a viable media sector.
Take the nation of Kiribati, an archipelago in the Central Pacific that is home to just over 100,000 people. In 2012, the country's only news radio station was forced to shut down due to a broken transmitter; frequent power outages and a lack of backup generators have crippled the struggling audiovisual sector. The country's remote location and scattered islands make it especially vulnerable to damage caused by storms, and repairs to communications equipment can take months and even years. Democratic Kiribati may not have the censorship apparatus of an authoritarian state, but for thousands of residents who are cut off from news and information, the effects can be similar.
Environmental sustainability has taken center stage in the Pacific Islands, but financial sustainability may be an equally urgent problem. At least four newspapers have closed on the island of Nauru in the past decade, citing financial reasons. Tuvalu's only newspaper, Tuvalu Echoes, shut down in 2013 due to high operating costs. Given the country's gross domestic product of about $3,500 per capita and a general dependence on imported goods, the cost of printing and ink can be prohibitive.
Some islands are somewhat better off. News consumers in Palau, for example, enjoy a number of broadcast and print options, both private and public. Yet reporters still lack formal training and qualifications, and practice journalism on an ad hoc basis. The College of Micronesia recently suspended its journalism program due to staff shortages. These economic challenges explain why many Pacific Island nations, although they are ranked Free in the most recent edition of Freedom House's Freedom of the Press index owing to favorable political and legal environments, often hover near the border of the Partly Free category.
Taken alone, these are worrying developments. However, they loom especially large at a time when climate change threatens the livelihoods of Pacific Islanders and perhaps even the continued existence of their nations. The press is critical to educating the population about climate dangers, including high tides, cyclones, and other risks. For instance, Tuvaluans are less aware of the realities of climate change than most outsiders, according to interviews conducted by the Pacific Media Assistance Scheme. The news media can also facilitate emergency preparedness by transmitting life-saving information, such as alerts to seek higher ground.
There are some encouraging signs on the horizon. Satellite television has enabled many residents to access information and news programs from Asia and Australia. The internet is also accessible for some, though it usually reaches only a small percentage of the population, and service is spotty. On the Marshall Islands and Vanuatu, churches distribute newsletters and operate radio stations on a nonprofit basis, often raising awareness about climate issues. Several regional news outlets have begun operating in recent years under the auspices of the Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand, the University of Hawaii, and the Pacific Islands Development Program, which produces the Pacific Islands' Report.
However, greater attention is needed from international donors and development agencies to ensure that local media don't disappear entirely. Development efforts must be context specific. In the past, agencies such as Australia Aid and the Japan International Cooperation Agency have provided startup funding to island newspapers only to see them close after a few years due to financial problems. Unless donors are prepared to provide long-term funding, it may be that the traditional model of professionalized news media is becoming obsolete.
As an alternative, aid organizations could prioritize community-based approaches. For example, they might consider increasing the number of media trainings and grants to local community groups, including churches and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), which already have an active community following. At the same time, pluralistic private media ownership should be encouraged, as the World Bank recently did with a $3 million grant to diversify the Marshall Islands' telecommunications sector.
Finally, donors and local governments must continue to develop national and supranational emergency-response systems, which can have the secondary effect of making media infrastructure more resilient even in ordinary times. At the national level, Vanuatu recently established a National Disaster Management Office to coordinate with media, NGOs, and government ministries in the event of a climate-related disaster. This kind of coordination is critical to the quick dissemination of emergency information and might be used as a model for other island states.
At the intergovernmental level, the Pacific Media Assistance Group is developing the Pacific Emergency Broadcast System, or PEBS, in order to provide a collaborative platform in the event of crisis or disaster. Ongoing activities include the development of an early warning system for broadcasters, establishing backup broadcast systems, and drawing up country-specific disaster plans in collaboration with local stakeholders.
It would be a tragedy if those countries that stand to be most affected by climate change were allowed to remain the least prepared to cope with its consequences. More international donor attention and creative development strategies are needed to ensure that news organizations in the Pacific don't vanish long before the islands themselves.
Reports by the Pacific Media Assistance Scheme contributed to the research for this post.

The AR-15 started life as the AR-10, designed by Eugene Stoner, Robert Fremont, and L. James Sullivan of the Fairchild ArmaLite Corporation. The AR-10 was chambered in .30-06 and later modified to accept 7.62mm NATO rounds. The AR-15 was developed to be a lighter, .223 / 5.56 NATO version of the AR – ArmaLite 10. ArmaLite sold the rights for the rifle to Colt in 1959. Colt marketed the AR-15 rifle to various military services around the world, including the U.S. with varying results. The AR-15 was eventually adopted by the United States military under the designation M16.
In 1960, General Curtis LeMay was so impressed by a demonstration of the ArmaLite AR-15 that when he was promoted to United States Air Force, Chief of Staff, he requested 80,000 AR-15s for the Air Force. In 1962 the U.S. Army special operations units started using the AR-15 later designated the M16 for special operations in Southeast Asia. Service members reported to have liked the stopping power of the light weight rifle in reports back to the rear. In January 1963, Secretary McNamara received reports that M14 production was insufficient to meet the needs of the armed forces and ordered a halt to their production. The AR15 was the only rifle that could fill the requirements of the U.S. Military. In 1982 the M16A2 was officially adopted as "U.S. Rifle, 5.56mm, M16A2"
The AR15 is an air cooled, gas operated, semi-automatic, automatic, magazine fed, shoulder fired weapon. Later A2 versions were upgraded with round hand guards, an easy rear sight adjustment 'dial' and the M16A2 fire selector lever auto selection had been replaced with 3 round burst. Eugene Stoner had implemented a unique modular design that that gave the rifle much flexibility. You can get 7 ½ inch through over 24 inches long barrels ranging in calibers from .22 through .50BMG. The direct gas system does not use the then conventional piston and rod instead it uses the gas tube to feed gases into the receiver. The magazines range from 10 thru 40 double stacked rounds to 100 round drums.
This is a very practical firearm because of its modular design. To me that means that you can purchase one weapon and use the accessories you need to meet your needs for a particular mission. Be it, hunting, home defense, or just at the range plinking away. The AR15 will suit your need like no other firearm can.

All kinds of contributions are welcome - code, tests, documentation, bug reports, ideas, etc.
Minor releases of pip (e.g. 1.1, 1.2, 1.3...) occur every four months (beginning with the release of pip 1.0 on April 4, 2011). Two weeks before a scheduled release, a new branch release/X.Y is created for release testing and preparation. This branch is only open to bugfixes.
First of all, you need to fork the the official repository, which is https://github.com/pypa/pip.
Log in to Github, go to the pip repository page, follow the fork link, wait for Github to copy the repository and then clone your fork, like:
$ git clone https://github.com/YOU_USER_NAME/pip
Now you can change whatever you want, commit, push to your fork and when your contribution is done, follow the pull request link and send us a request explaining what you did and why.
Pip uses the git-flow branching model. The default branch on GitHub is develop, and all development work (new features and bugfixes) should happen in that branch. The master branch is stable, and reflects the last released state.
Almost all changes to pip should be accompanied by automated tests - especially ones adding new behavior.
Nose is used to find and run all tests. Take a look at Running the Tests to see what you need and how you should run the tests.
Before sending us a pull request, please, be sure all tests pass.
Pip supports Python versions 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, and 3.2, from a single codebase (without use of 2to3 translation). Untested contributions frequently break Python 2.4 or 3.x compatibility. Please run the tests on at least 2.4 and 3.2 and report your results when sending a pull request.
We have a continuous integration server running all pip related tests at http://ci.cloudsilverlining.org/view/pip. But if you want to have your own, you can learn how to set up a Hudson CI server like that in the Hudson CI server installation step by step page.
Pip's test coverage is not as good as we would like, so contributions of additional tests are welcome. You can contribute these the same way you would contribute any other kind of code: see the Contributing with Code section.
Pip project is hosted at Github and uses its issue tracker system.
If you have found a bug and want to report it, go to pip issue tracker page, click Create new, add a descriptive title (so we can easily identify what the bug is) and fill the description box explaining how you got the bug, what pip version you were using and what is your operating system, so we can reproduce the bug to try fixing it.
We are always open to new ideas, and we will enjoy yours. You can send enhancement ideas and proposals via pip issue tracker page, virtualenv mailing list, or #pip channel at freenode.

SPA provided the following update about the 2017 auction for the Sturgis community:
Sturgis Parents Association's 2017 Auction was sold out once again with three hundred guests enjoying a fabulous evening at the beautiful Ridge Club in Sandwich! Interactive bidding on fun items like the two-day overnight trip for Wicked Tuna and the customized Sturgis ping pong table drew Sturgis parents to the bid board, while Dr. Pete and Sturgis students shared their amazing work on the Sturgis dolphin carrier with guests. There was endless sushi, incredible food stations and gorgeous Student Advisory baskets drawing parents into the Silent Auction room. At the much-anticipated Live Auction event, parents enjoyed listening to the heartfelt and compassionate speech by Aaron Dunigan-Atlee, Sturgis East's Lead Math teacher, on this year's Fund-A-Cause, which raised $7,600 for new computers and IT upgrades!
We can all agree that the cause for this annual Sturgis event was well worth attending this year, as we successfully grossed just over $64,000 – setting a NEW RECORD! Net proceeds from this year's auction will go directly to Sturgis Charter Public School to fund faculty and departmental requests, student activities and clubs, scholarships and more!
Our sincerest thanks and appreciation to the entire Auction Planning Committee, corporate and local business sponsors, faculty and staff, our auctioneer extraordinaire, Sean Randall and his comedian special guest, and to all the parent volunteers who generously contributed their time, talents and donations to help make this fundraising event such an overwhelming success for Sturgis!
Thank you again for your dedication and support of Sturgis and more importantly, for making a difference!

In addition to the annual auction, Sturgis Parents Association sponsors a number of activities throughout the year to benefit Sturgis students, faculty and parents:
Faculty Breakfast on the first day of faculty orientation in August
Annual Boxwood Night in December
Annual Christmas Stroll on Main Street
Parents Social Events for parents to have an opportunity to meet one another
Most importantly, all SPA fundraising supports faculty and departmental requests, student activities, clubs and scholarships. For example, SPA recently helped Sturgis InvenTeam's marine mammal rescue transporter move a step closer to deployment. In March, SPA presented a check for $1,500 to Sturgis InvenTeam to support final modifications to the marine mammal rescue transporter so it can be deployed in stranding response missions by IFAW. Sturgis InvenTeam is collaborating with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and the International Fund for Animal Welfare – IFAW to finalize the design and complete the project. Each organization is contributing $750.
The InvenTeam is grateful to Sturgis Parents Association, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and International Fund for Animal Welfare for bringing their dream of rescuing marine mammals closer to deployment.
Sturgis InvenTeam began in 2012, when a group of Sturgis West students received a grant from the Lemelson-MIT Foundation to build a prototype of a cart that could be used to save stranded animals.
SPA Faculty Appreciation Lunch
Last but not least….on Wednesday, June 14, the Sturgis Parents Association once again outdid itself by providing outstanding faculty appreciation lunches at West and East. We want to thank the SPA for providing a great culinary experience that was so appreciated by the faculty. Yes, we do feel appreciated. Thanks so much!

W is for: Wisconsin Cheese {& Winning!}
So....I actually won something!!
Bronze prize in the Wisconsin Grilled Cheese Recipe Contest gets you a box filled with $100 worth of Wisconsin cheese. I don't know about you, but in my book, that's pretty damn awesome. Sure, a grand prize trip to New York would've been cool, but I'm perfectly happy with my bounty of cheese.
If you'd like to recreate my Green Bean Casserole Grilled Cheese Sliders on your own, click here to go back to the original post! (And be on the lookout for more cheesy recipes coming soon on E is for Eat!)

San Francisco 49ers
49ers notes: Jimmy Garoppolo catching on, will be backup Sunday
Jimmy Garoppolo will serve as the 49ers' No. 2 quarterback on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, an indication the team's recent acquisition is picking up the playbook at a quick pace.
Kyle Shanahan said on Friday that the plan this week was to monitor Garoppolo's grasp of the offense, and if it was coming along slowly, to elevate rookie Nick Mullens from the practice squad to be C.J. Beathard's backup against the Cardinals.
"We were going to wait on that all week," Shanahan said. "If we felt that if (Garoppolo) couldn't go in and function, then we'd have pulled Nick up."
Shanahan reiterated that it's difficult to have three quarterbacks on the roster because the two extra passers probably won't play on offense or contribute on special teams.
Beathard will be operating behind a reshuffled offensive line that will feature Trent Brown at left tackle. Brown, who missed last game with a concussion, has practiced all week.
Usually a right tackle, Brown started one game last year on the left side – a 49ers win at the Los Angeles Rams – when Joe Staley was out with a hamstring strain. Staley will miss Sunday's game as well as the following game against the New York Giants with a broken eye socket, but the 49ers hope he'll be back on Nov. 26, a week after their bye.
The 49ers received some good news about their offensive line when right guard Brandon Fusco (biceps) practiced on Friday. He sat out the last two practices.
Staley on Cox – Joe Staley said he spoke earlier this week to Fletcher Cox, the Eagles defensive tackle who delivered the blow that broke his orbital bone in the second quarter Sunday.
"At the time I told him I was pretty upset, felt like he didn't have to go to the head there in that situation," Staley said. "But I've also been in a situation where stuff happens on the football field. I know him, I know he's not that kind of player. So it is what it is."
Staley said he likely would wear a face shield when he returns to action.
Cox was neither penalized nor fined on the play. Neither was Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham whose hit along the sideline on Pierre Garcon sent the receiver into a crowd of Eagles players and staff and ended up fracturing a bone in his neck. Garcon won't play for the rest of the season, though the injury is not career-ending.
Shanahan was asked about the questionable plays.
"I'm not going to say I have issues with them, but we did lose two of our best players on offense on two plays that we felt there should have been flags thrown on," he said.
Et cetera – In addition to Staley, defensive tackle D.J. Jones (knee), defensive end Aaron Lynch (calf), defensive end Solomon Thomas (knee) and cornerback K'Waun Williams (quadriceps) will miss Sunday's game.
▪ Garcon and tackle Garry Gilliam (knee) likely will go on injured reserve Saturday. That will allow the 49ers to take defensive end Ronald Blair (hand) off of injured reserve and to elevate rookie offensive tackle Darrell Williams from the practice squad.
▪ Linebacker Reuben Foster (ribs) is questionable. Running back Matt Breida (knee) is full go.

If you want to change your lifestyle, so that to improve your health and lose weight, stick around, as right here you will find information about a diet that works all the time, no matter how many pounds dieters want to get rid of. Well, the diet we are talking about is called the Flexitarian diet and it is considered to have evolved from vegetarian diets. This diet aims to help dieters lose weight efficiently and keep their health in optimal state. Many have compared this diet to the Macrobiotic Diet, the Eco-Atkins Diet, the Engine 2 Diet, the Raw Food Diet and other related diets which focus on eating fruits and veggies.
As you can see, this diet is all about eating fresh, natural foods which can boost your body with energy and keep your weight under control. On the other hand, it is important to tell you that being a flexitarian doesn't mean that you have to cut meat from your meals. Indeed, this diet allows you to eat meat occasionally, so this aspect will separate it from vegan diets.
This diet is built around the idea that being a vegetarian most of the time is not the optimal solution, when staying healthy and reaching the ideal weight. Furthermore, you should know that the name this diet is given comes from putting together two words, namely "flexible" and "vegetarian". However , the term of "flexitarian" is somehow new, as it was first used about a decade ago. If you want to join those who are already enrolled in the Flexitarian diet, you should also take into consideration buying Dawn Jackson Blatner's book "The Flexitarin Diet: The Mostly Vegetarian Way to Lose Weight, Be Healthy, Prevent Disease and Add Years to Your Life". You will find many tips and valuable information about this diet there, which can steer you toward choosing your right meal plans. This diet assures its followers that eating mostly plant-based meals and meat occasionally will help them lose pounds efficiently and also keep various heart diseases and cancers away from them.
Like we mentioned before, the Flexitarian diet is most of the time a vegetarian diet, yet you can still eat white meat (fish, turkey, chicken) or read meat (beef), if you feel the need. Among the foods recommended by this diet, we can mention the following: beans, peas, lentils, nuts, eggs, seeds, whole grains, dairy products, and most fruits and vegetables.

Last year, I was introduced to a wonderful group of ladies who were all in the same sorority at Penn State and whom I've now have had the honor of shooting FIVE of their weddings! From Pittsburgh to Martha's Vineyard to Charlottesville, and this time to Atlanta, I always know that a Pi Phi bride will be sweet, kind, beautiful, and have amazing style and taste!
Samantha & Jeremy met the old fashioned way, at a bar, where Jeremy asked for her number, texted her something generic the next day, and she promptly deleted it and never responded. Being the southern gentleman he is, he was persistent and ended up calling her to formally ask her out...and the rest is history!
They had their wedding at an old railroad station, the Georgia Freight Depot, and we got to escape the cold of the northeast for a weekend with temperatures in the 50s-60s! The girls got ready in the cutest Christmas pajamas, and Sam's adorable blind dog Tanner joined the ladies in the excitement of the day. Sam reminded me of Princess Kate, but even more elegant and stunning (and with a little southern accent), and given that she's an event planner, every detail of their wedding was perfection!
This was our last wedding of the year and definitely one of my favorites of 2016! Congratulations Samantha & Jeremy - we are so happy for you and had a blast in Atlanta!

So as most of you know, W9PEP and I have been gathering pieces to make an Arduino based Antenna Analyzer. Tonight at the meeting we were asked about our progress so I thought I'd post up a preview of what we're making and give credit to the HamRadio360 guys who did most of the work to clean up K6BEz's original design and make it available to the general public. I'll post links to their website and their Project Info page for the antenna Analyzer at the end of this. We're planning to build them Saturday morning at my QTH, if anyone wants to stop by and check it out they're more than welcome, I'm also going to try to teach W9PEP how to solder effectively so that might be a source of entertainment.
The total cost for this project, per board came up to $65, I paid double the price HR360 wants for the boards because they've been sold out since we started looking. I also paid retail for all the components through Amazon and Digi-Key, with some careful shopping I'm pretty sure the price point could be brought down below $50. Anyway, on to the pictures.
This is the Arduino that will control the whole project, it's a Nano, which as far I know is the smallest footprint available.
Custom board printed by OSH-Park, out of Washington State. They have great customer service and I highly recommend them if you're in the market for a board. Purple only, and a Minimum order of 3.
Direct Digital Sampling Module, This is what actually looks at the RF and converts it into something the Arduino understands. I thought it was 0-70Mhz but it's actually 0-40Mhz, so I guess 6m is out, I have a 3rd board so I might look into seeing if I can find one that's usable in VHF or UHF frequencies, still looking at options for it.
Two line LCD, as recommended by HR360. this is white letters on a blue backlight, It was cheapest on Amazon the day I ordered, nothing real special about it.
This is the major components sitting on the board showing the form factor. The input is BNC, and I need to look at power requirements but If I remember correctly it will run off of a couple of batteries pretty easily. Board will have a barrel jack for power input, but that can be easily modified.

I shamelessly stole the Semi-Finished picture on the White Board from HR360, hopefully they don't mind too much.

Quick note: This test is timed! You have N MINUTES to complete the test! All unanswered questions will be marked as incorrect. Good luck and godspeed!
Talk to us! Let us know how we did!
Ah, finally, a free Washington practice permit test for the 2019 DOL exam that does not have a gazillion questions for me to study... Wait, what? I want those questions, I love practice exams with hundreds of different sample questions that cover all imaginable driving rules and road signs! Trust us, you don't and you should definitely not start with a practice quiz that has more than 20-30 sample questions if you actually want to learn something! This is why our first Washington state permit practice test (WA) 2019 has only 20 multiple choice questions! Read on to find out how it will help you learn the rules in a jiffy!
Most first-time learners permit applicants hunt for a practice permit test with hundreds of sample questions, the more the merrier is their line of thinking. Sadly, this could not be further from the truth and this is one of the most inefficient ways to prepare for the 2019 Washington state permit test! Do you believe that being dropped off a boat 10 miles away from the nearest coast automatically makes an Olympic swimming champ? Would you learn how to ski on the steepest slope you can find? You don't, you need to learn your basics and hone your skills before tackling a complex task. It works exactly the same with preparing for the DOL permit test, you just have to learn your basics! Starting with an online Washington practice permit test that contains hundreds of sample permit test questions won't teach you much. You can get a lesson in humility, once you fail miserably and realize how little you know, but it may also leave you feeling completely overwhelmed. In fact, some people are do discouraged by their first experience with a sample permit quiz that they drop the whole idea of applying for a DMV driving permit for quite a while.
We believe in small steps and this is exactly what this free practice permit test for Washington is - your first step towards a driving permit! Twenty simple multiple choice questions to ease you into the whole field and allow you to gain some confidence before you take your next step. We re here to tell you that you do not have to rush - this is not the only Washington state practice permit test we have prepared for you and we do have hundreds of WA permit test questions and answers for you in store, you will get to them in due time! For now, just concentrate on passing this first practice exam!
How does the practice test work? Very simple! You get twenty multiple choice questions on road rules and road signs. Every question presents you with four possible answers, only one of them being correct. As soon as pick an answer, the practice test will let you know whether you are right or wrong and, should you choose one of the wrong options, highlight the right answer for you as well. But that's not it! Not only will this free Washington state permit practice test display the correct answer for the question, it will also show a detailed explanation for it! These explanations are based on the official Washington drivers handbook 2019 (and if you happened to miss the manual, make sure to read it before you continue your lesson, it is not called the Washington permit test book for no reason) and they will save you loads of time on researching the answer in the book. Once you are done with the test, you will see your overall score and get a chance to review all of the sample questions you've missed!
What do you do at this point? Well, this depends on the score you just received. Answered 18 or more questions correctly? Move on to the next Washington driving practice test! Didn't score quite that high? Simply repeat the practice quiz once more! We will shuffle those questions around to keep things interesting, but you will get essentially the same set of questions, quickly run over them and see your grade improve!

A chimney vent is the part of a chimney which provides an outlet for the hot gases which are carried up the chimney. Many regions of the world have specific laws about how chimneys should be vented which are designed to address concerns about fire safety and pollution. There are also some specific design considerations which have to be taken into account when making or installing a chimney vent, as a poorly designed vent can cause gases to build up inside the chimney, which is very undesirable.
Chimneys are used to transport the byproducts of combustion away from the area where they are generated. When things like coal, wood, and gas are burned to generate energy or heat, they create flue gases, which include a mixture of gases and particulate matter. These flue gases can be harmful to inhale and if they are allowed to build up they may suppress the fire, so they need to be vented away from the area where they are produced, and this is where a chimney comes in.
The body of the chimney, known as the flue, is designed at a height and width which is intended to create draft, a gentle pull which draws the flue gases up the chimney and away from their source. The chimney vent provides an outlet, releasing the gases safely into the surrounding air. Many regions require that chimney vents have filters to trap particulates, and some also include traps for certain flue gases. The chimney vent must also have a cap so that water cannot enter the flue, and it may need a spark arrestor to prevent stray sparks from drifting out of the chimney and starting a fire.
Maintaining a chimney system in good working order is critical for efficiency and safety. If a chimney is allowed to become clogged, it may not be able to vent gases as effectively. Buildups can also become a fire hazard. The chimney vent requires periodic inspection to confirm that filters are still in place and do not need to be replaced or cleaned.
Historically, chimneys were designed to vent straight up into the air, and some were quite long. Some chimney systems now vent out sideways, or may vent gases through a series of bends, depending on the design. For certain applications, such as dryers and small gas heaters, it may only be necessary to have a very short vent to the outside which prevents gases from building up indoors.
Post 2
When purchasing an older house with a wood-burning fireplace, it's a good idea to have it thoroughly inspected. If the inside of a fireplace chimney is deteriorating, there is a danger of poisonous gases coming into the house.
There are certain specifications about height of a chimney and other dimensions and also about the shape and slant.
A word of advice about chimneys. When we had a wood-burning fireplace, I don't know how many times I started the fire without opening the damper (the door in the chimney that has to be opened before a fire is started.) If you forget, the smoke comes out and fills the room!
Post 1
Taking care of the chimney vent attached to your fireplace is very important for safety and fire hazard. In the olden days when people's fireplaces were going day and night during the winter, they had to periodically get a chimney sweep to go into the chimney and clean it out. The chimney sweep usually came out with a blackened face and arms.
Today most of us don't use our wood fireplaces too often, but it should be cleaned when necessary.
Before you use a fireplace in a newly bought home, you should have it inspected.
A wood-burning fireplace is a very enjoyable part of a home, but you have to take care to be safe and healthy.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Fighting healthcare's hidden enemy, eight hours at a time
Promoting proper sleep is something we all need to work on; especially those of us in healthcare. I'm more than an authority on the subject. I am a case study.
Science has been revealing a great deal about the growing problem of sleep deprivation. Interruptions to our well-documented circadian rhythms can heighten stress, among other issues. So-called "power naps" won't cut it. The body needs its full eight hours per day, and at regular intervals.
Sleep deprivation has become chronic, yet it doesn't get the same attention as obesity or smoking. When doctors have that check-up talk with patients, how many enquire: "How much sleep do you get?"
When I was a practicing ER pediatrician at a Texas hospital, the answer to that question was easy: "Not much." Like many residents coming up from med school, I ignored my body when it came to sleep.
It shouldn't be an either-or predicament. I don't think it is, either. Like I said, a lot depends on developing a discipline around better sleep hygiene.
The medical community needs to get smarter about sleep. There are signs it has. When I was in residency, we often worked 120-hour weeks and 36-hour shifts. Today there's a push to set reasonable hours and increase the number of residents on staff. These trends are long overdue.
There are other things we can be doing; like passing on the good word about sleep to patients. Talk to them about their lifestyles, about how they manage stress and if they practice good sleep hygiene.
Good sleep hygiene includes turning off your cell phone at night and not watching television at bedtime. It means eating foods conducive to sleep, and avoiding what isn't. Better sleep may come from something as simple as lowering the temperature in one's bedroom.
Sleep hygiene remains a difficult concept for many, including too many doctors. Why? Maybe it's because we are so bad at sleeping ourselves it's hard to set the right example for patients. We need to change that, for their sakes and ours.

Written By Sheridan Vance
Photographed by Lindsay Higgins
Sarah was unsure of what she wanted to study until one of her older sisters, Kelly, suggested she major in Communication. She took her sister's advice, and also declared an English minor. "Kelly said I was a good writer, which was something I had always aspired to be, but hearing it from someone I looked up to so much made me think that maybe I could turn something I loved into a career."
Family is a major aspect of Sarah's life, and it influences her writing. She is the youngest of four siblings and is looking forward to being an aunt soon. When talking about her future nephew, she tries to describe what it feels like to love someone she has never met before, but cannot find the right words. "For me," she says, "sometimes it's easier to write than speak. I have ADHD, and it can make my brain really loud. Writing quiets it." The quiet helps her reach the heart of all her writing: authenticity. She never wants her work to read like she, or one of her characters, is trying to be somebody other than herself. "I want people to care for my stories and characters because they can tell I care about my stories and characters."
Sarah's earliest memories of literature include her mother reading to her as a child. Her mother took on the role of Sarah's teacher, as she was homeschooled from kindergarten through 5th grade. "My parents helped lay the foundation for my future love of reading and writing." During that time, Sarah remembers that J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter kindled her love of reading. Today, she is still prone to picking up Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Princefrom time to time.
Although she enjoys writing fiction, her favorite genre is creative nonfiction. "Kelly is the reason I started reading David Sedaris' nonfiction work. I used to borrow her books all the time, so she got me a signed copy of Holidays on Ice with my name in it." Sarah says that Sedaris's Me Talk Pretty One Day made her realize that nonfiction is more than recounting facts: "It's about telling true stories in a meaningful way." Sarah infuses her writing with these elements from fiction and nonfiction.
Her favorite story she has written so far is "Statue Children." Sarah cares for Hattie, the protagonist in her story, to the point that when someone suggested Sarah change a line of Hattie's dialogue, she thought no, Hattie wouldn't say that. "I've gone through so many revisions, and I really care about the characters," she says. "I've become that writer." She acknowledges Dr. Jones and Fiction Workshop, ENG 316, for helping her grow as a writer. "It was emotionally and intellectually tiring, but I have grown so much because of it. After all, like Dr. Jones always says: 'writing is revision.'" Sarah even has a Spotify playlist titled "Writing is Revision" which is dedicated to inspiring her as she writes. Other than her playlist, she says that deadlines inspire her to write, too. She laughs, and it isn't until after a pause, that I recognize what she has said. It is this kind of attitude and subtle sass that Sarah gives her characters. Sarah not only expresses herself in her writing but also in her newly dyed pink hair. "It's just a strand. Don't worry, Mom," she says.
Sarah sips her tall, iced, skinny, caramel macchiato and describes it exactly that way. "Drinking coffee reminds me of my other sister, Laura," she says, smiling. She puts her earbuds in, indicating that she is ready to start her next story, and says one last thing before delving in: "I never knew how much I would love spending time in a world I created."

text: I've been briefly hooked on making baby sweaters. But I think I've gotten it out of my system for now. Here's my second Tanis Fiber Arts baby sweater. I used the pattern for the blended hues cardigan from Knitty, but while the pattern calls for 3 strands of lace weight yarn held together, I used two strands of fingering weight yarn instead, so my colour transitions aren't as smooth. I still think it's pretty cute though. I LOOOOOVE the little fish buttons. The special recipient of this sweater happens to love fishies, or at least she did the last time I saw her, 2 year olds change their minds a lot, by the time she receives this sweater she may be over fish, but I still think they're cute.

Once in awhile I wonder what was the purpose of writing this blog. I did it because George and I loved blogging together, we had two food blogs, so I felt it was a way for me to continue a connection with him. But over time, the appeal and shine loses its luster. But recently I revisited those old posts and to know how far I've come in this journey is incredible.
I'm trying to organize my thoughts and posts a little bit and try some fluidity with them. But very much like grief, things just happen and there's no control over them. I look at the old posts and they flip flop between miserable, excited, self-loathing, angry, manic, numb, and just getting by.
New Years is around the corner and I haven't had a lot of luck with New Years. I think my first New Years after George passed was one of my best ones, just because I was with my friend Lindsay just reflecting on the shit year we had (2013) and how perhaps 2014 would be better. Little Chinese food, wine and One Tree Hill. It was memorable and she's still one of my best friends and I love her for being there to do nothing with me as the calendar year flipped.
Good friends make suffering better. Always remember that. A strong support system will hold you up, even during the worst storms.

What happens when two Buddhists and a Muslim meet to make music?
Country and Eastern.
Indofunk. Sufisurf.
Jazz. World. Jam.
Music to help you Pray For Brain.
This is not your auntie's world music band, nor your uncle's country twang, nor your grandad's jazz vinyl.
Think 70s era Miles Davis, Chet Atkins and late Coltrane playing with the White Stripes and Isaac Hayes on a Calcutta rooftop with a bird's eye view to Morocco.
Johnny Cash and Bengali icon Rabrindranath Tagore may sit in, too.
As Sama Duo, Mustafa Stefan Dill (guitars, oud) and Jefferson Voorhees (drums) brought a telepathic level of interplay to their groove-oriented energetic improvisations, delivered with a gutsy south Asian and Middle Eastern twist.
One fan wrote, "I love Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Indian classical music and Zeppelin and improv jazz, and your music was hitting all of those buttons in my brain at once."
With the addition of upright bassist Christine Nelson and retooled as Pray For Brain,the trio expands the range of groove, nuance and improvising conversations. The music is simultaneously lighter but deeper, easier to hear and harder to shake off.
Pray For Brain binds their diverse musical influences into a unified, coherent soundscape: skillful writing frames artful, telepathic dialogues that draw on a deep core of both cutting-edge and ancient improvising methods from India, Africa and the Middle East. The trio offers their voice with an energetic finesse wrapped in a rhythmically-driven, wide-ranging rock/funk/country/jazz ethos.
The group is planning Asian and European dates for 2015.
In December 2014, the group expanded and evolved yet again with the addition of special guest Brahim Fribgane, on second oud and percussion, subject to his availability.
He adds a remarkable chemistry and level of interplay to an already highly interactive group, and the band is very excited to have him on board.
Who is Pray For Brain?
Mustafa Stefan Dill (guitars, oud)
was born in New Mexico to a Mexican mother and German-Irish father. His mutli-national and cross-cultural childhood experiences include strong memories with Lebanese relatives in Mexico and formative years in the culturally diverse city of Montpellier, France.
His initial music - an intense and unique convergence of traditional flamenco and Middle Eastern elements and modern free improvisation - won critical praise with recordings such as Warning Clothed in Bright Robes of Dawn, Sangre Del Rio and Six Peaces (his debut on the oud), paving the way for his hallmark approach of combining modern and traditional improvising techniques within a deep immersion of various cultural musical traditions.
A guitarist for over 30 years, he earned a Masters degree in composition from the New England Conservatory in Boston, studying with Joe Maneri.
He has performed in solo concerts throughout Europe since 1992 in both improvised music and guitar circles at such venues and festivals as FMP's Total Music Meeting, Wirral Guitar Festival, Paderborn Guitar Festival, Zuid Nederlands Jazz Festival, Festival HispanoAmericano de la Guitarra, Erlbach, Nickelsdorf, and others.
Christine Nelson (bass) recently returned to her native Albuquerque after time in the Idaho and Washington state music scenes.
After years on classical and gypsy jazz guitar, Christine adopted bass as her main instrument in 2007 and has played for many groups in the Northwest and Southwest USA, such as United Roots, Quality Retreads, Pray For Brain, and others.
Jefferson Voorhees (drums) is a life-long drummer whose career has included touring and playing across North America, Europe and South Asia with artists such as the Tom Guralnick Trio, Out of Context, Mary Gauthier and others.
His time spent in India studying music and percussion (as well as his work with Iraqi oudist Rahim Alhaj) adds some particularly unique qualifications for the project, making Pray For Brain a perfect vehicle for Jefferson's unerring, distinct musicality and intense focus.
After long residences in New York and San Francisco, he now resides in New Mexico and is one of the region's most versatile and sought after percussionists.
He and Mustafa have been playing together in one band or another for nearly two decades.
Recurring guest: Brahim Fribgane (oud, percussion)
Born and raised in Morocco, Brahim Fribgane brings to his music the rich and varied musical styles he grew up with - North African, Gnawa, Berber, Arabic and Andalusian music.
He has performed with Peter Gabriel, Paula Cole, Adam Rudolph, Hindi Zahra, Dr. L. Subramaniam, Hassan Hakmoun, Club d'Elf, Sami Yusuf, Will Calhoun, , Zakir Hussein, Giovanni Hidalgo, Hamid Drake, Selva Ganesh, Steve Gorn, Larry Coryell, Reggie Workman, Hubert Laws, Corey Segal, Adam Deitch, Pete Seeger , Peter Yarrow, Amit Chattergee, Medeski Martin & Wood, to name a few.

siddharthabatra+s needed a new logo and business card design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 42 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
Xylex Healthcare Private Limited is a pharmaceutical products company that'll be selling a combination of prescription and non prescription medicines to everyday people.
The Xylex brand name will be placed on every medicine package this includes pill packs as well as bottles (see images attached).
The idea is to create a memorable, sophisticated yet economical logo so that consumers associate their healthcare needs with Xylex and can keep coming back to the brand particularly for non prescription medication.
Apart from use on the website and business cards, the primary purpose of the branding and logo is to appear on every single pack of medicine and every single medicine bottle.
The two main components I will love your help with are the "Xylex" branding in both images as well as the flying bird in red which is also an X.
Please see attached samples for both these types of medicine packs. These designs for packages aren't final but it'll be very similar to this.
The branding will be used most commonly with a white background but as you'll see it'll also be used on dark backgrounds like the bottles. So ideally I think it'll be two different treatments for light and dark backgrounds but totally open to what you recommend.
Totally open to different color treatments as well, I think the Xylex logo needs the most work along with the bird.

A weekend with friends in Sutton
A constant downpour of nature
An endless overflow of all of life's good things
How does one process so much beauty?
How can one truly give thanks for this much blessing?
I am not yet ready to know how to make my palette
retell this abundance of new colors and emotions.
A beautiful blog >

Several factors go into the potential cost of aftermarket tires and rims, but generally consumers can expect to spend at least $600 for new tires and rims for a vehicle. Shoppers may spend a lot more for chrome rims and Firestone tires.
Based on the quality and size of tires and rims one is seeking, shoppers could spend around $2,000 for new tires and rims. The average rim size is about 17 inches, but rims are sold all the way up to a size of 24 inches. Consumers should be able to purchase new standard size tires and rims for about $600. For 22-inch rims, the price may end up in the thousands of dollars.
