So friends, I'm moving to Atlanta. Depending on how long you've been following this blog, you've seen me studying abroad in Rome, going to school in Dayton, Ohio, interning in California (without a kitchen), back in Ohio finishing school, working in Chicago and then moving out to California a year ago. I've been busy friends.
This will be my fourth state in four years and my second cross-country move in a year. It's a lot.
Last year I moved out here after I accepted an awesome job and was super excited to be closer to Matt. A lot happened over the past year — we grew a ton, got engaged and finally decided that we're through with long distance. Matt originally started a job hunt in the Bay area to be closer to me and got accepted into an awesome sales program that wants him to move across the country.
It wasn't an easy decision — there's so much more we want to do in California and I don't want to leave my job, but after looking it over, it really will be the best move for us. We'll finally be together, in a much cheaper area and much closer to family and friends. One major thing we nailed down this year is our priorities as a couple and a future family. Family and friends is a huge one.
After getting over the initial shock, I am excited. I'm incredibly bummed to leave this place, but I know I'll be back. I talked to my company and I will be staying on remotely and hopefully making it back once a quarter for planning so I'm not saying goodbye to CA forever.
When I moved out here last year, we didn't know how long it would be, but we guessed it wouldn't be forever. We don't know if Atlanta will be forever, but we're excited to put down roots and build a community. I did a good job of that out here on my own, but I'm excited to explore and meet new people with Matt.
Things will be pretty quiet here the next few weeks. I'll post updates when I can!

For the 2nd Week in a Row, "The Unusuals" Finishes No. 2 in its Slot
In Adults 18-49, Improving the Time Period for ABC by 27% Year to Year
Wednesday Night (8:00-11:00 p.m.)
ABC placed No. 2 to an "Idol"-driven Fox on Wednesday among young adults: Adults 18-49 (2.6/7) and Adults 18-34 (2.5/8).
� Jumping 13% from the year-ago night in Adults 18-49 (4/16/08 = 2.3/6), ABC marked its 10th consecutive Wednesday delivering a year-to-year increase in the key young adult sales demo.
"Scrubs" (8:00-8:30 p.m.)
ABC's "Scrubs" took second place in its time period among Adults 18-49 (2.0/7) and delivered the No. 1 position in the half-hour with Men 18-34 (1.9/7) for the 3rd time in 5 telecasts.
� In Total Viewers (5.3 million) and Adults 18-49 (2.0/7), "Scrubs" delivered its best numbers in 3 weeks � since 3/25/09.
"Better Off Ted" (8:30-9:00 p.m.)
With strong retention of its lead-in (89% in Viewers/95% in Adults 18-49), ABC's "Better Off Ted" earned second place in its half-hour among Adults 18-49, beating its CBS comedy competition, a replay of "Gary Unmarried," by 6% (1.9/6 vs. 1.8/5). The new ABC comedy ranked No. 1 in the slot with Men 18-34 (1.7/6).
� Surging week to week by 18% in Total Viewers (4.7 million vs. 4.0 million) and by 12% in Adults 18-49 (1.9/6 vs. 1.7/5), "Better Off Ted" hit best-since-debut numbers.
"Lost" (9:00-10:00 p.m.)
Growing week to week opposite Fox's "American Idol" in the 9 o'clock hour, ABC's "Lost" beat out its CBS and NBC competition in the slot by wide margins among Adults 18-49. In fact, "Lost" marked its 12th straight original airing as Wednesday's No. 1 scripted TV show in Adults 18-49.
� "Lost" was up week to week in both Total Viewers (+5% - 9.0 million vs. 8.6 million) and Adults 18-49 (+3% - 3.9/10 vs. 3.8/10).
DVR Playback for "Lost": Season-to-date, "Lost" is one of the Top 5 most popularly recorded and played back shows on television in Total Viewers and the No. 2 biggest gainer in Adults 18-49, pulling in an additional 1.9 million viewers and picking up 1.0 rating point among young adults (a +21% jump) from the first-reported Live + Same Day numbers to the finalized Live + 7 Day averages.
"The Unusuals" (10:00-11:00 p.m.)
For the 2nd week in a row, ABC's "The Unusuals" finished No. 2 in the 10 o'clock hour among Adults 18-49 (1.9/5) to CBS' veteran "CSI: NY."
� Versus ABC's performance in the hour on the year-ago night with original drama programming ("Men in Trees" = 1.5/4), "The Unusuals" boosted the Net's Adult 18-49 delivery by 27%.
� On average, "The Unusuals" has improved ABC's performance in the slot by 16% in Total Viewers (6.5 million vs. 5.6 million) and by 5% in Adults 18-49 (2.0/6 vs. 1.9/5) over its average in the hour this season with regular series programming prior to its debut (Live + Same Day).
A note about increasing DVR penetration and year-to-year rating comparisons: Year-to-year rating comparisons based on the Live + Same Day data stream are distorted by the level of DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample, which has jumped up to 31% currently, from 24% at the same point in 2008. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which may not be reflected in the overnight next day numbers. The only truly valid year-to-year comparison would be one based on the Live + 7 Day metric, once those stats are released by Nielsen.

Manufacturer Detail
|Thirty years ago, Meyda Tiffany was founded when Meyer Cohen was asked by his wife Ida (whose names were combined into the company name Meyda) to build a stained glass window in their kitchen so they wouldn't have to look at the vintage cars in their neighbor's driveway. What began as a hobby evolved into America's leading and oldest manufacturer of Tiffany lamps and decorative lighting.
More than a decade ago, Meyda acquired Quality Bent Glass Company which created original lighting fixtures, including the famous Coca-Cola chandeliers, and supplied them to Tiffany Studios in New York City, during the turn-of-the-century. Meyda utilizes QBG's original tools, molds and techniques to create lighting products today.
In the mid-1990s, Meyda purchased Mecco Art, a metal art studio, and utilizes its equipment and manufacturing techniques to produce the Old Forge line of custom crafted steel sculptured lighting and decor. The line, which features original, natural and wildlife themes, includes lamps, chandeliers, figurines, candleholders, towel racks, bookends, switch plates, coat racks, napkin holders, log holders, fireplace screens, and other home accents.
Today Meyda is still a family-run business, with Meyer and Ida's son, Robert, at the helm. With dealers across the U.S. and Canada, Meyda offers an extensive line featuring thousands of styles-- from accent pieces to masterpieces. Many of Meyda's lighting designs were inspired by the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany, Dirk Van Erp, Gustav Stickley, Philip Julius Handel, Pairpoint and Duffner & Kimberly Studios, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Some have been handcrafted of copperfoil and reverse-painted art glass, porcelain, jadestone, mica and other fine mediums. Others were influenced by popular art movements: Arts and Crafts, Prairie, Lodge, Mission, Bungalow, Victorian, Nouveau, Gothic, Southwest and Deco.
The firm's extensive line includes table and floor lamps, ceiling pendants, flush and semi-flush mounted ceiling fixtures, chandeliers, wall sconces, windows, fireplace screens, furniture, and more. With one of the industry's most extensive new product development programs, Meyda creates scores of new designs weekly.

We all know that one person who swears by a treadmill desk. Now, here comes the treadmill videogame running … thing.
The Omni treadmill is a four-foot tall, 110-pound, 360-degree treadmill that translates users' walking, running, jumping and crouching into in-game motion, purportedly "in any game or app that uses keyboard input." Its creators, Virtuix, raised $1.1 million for the Omni on Kickstarter in a campaign that wrapped last month, and now it's available for preorders online.
The Omni is designed to be paired with the Oculus Rift, the virtual-reality gaming headset that is currently only available as a $300 prototype "dev kit", intended for game developers. The combination of the Rift (sold separately), the Omni treadmill, harness, tracking hardware and software and special running shoes is said to let gamers run around in 3-D game worlds by actually running, rather than using a boring old controller or keyboard.
(So far, the Rift is only confirmed to be compatible with PC games — not mobile or console — acting as a special controller/interface hybrid for those games rather than a console itself. It appears the Omni is yet another control layer on top of that).
Technological monstrosity, or a taste of the future? If you're more inclined toward the latter way of thinking, one Omni, with everything except the Oculus Rift, will set you back $500, while a "Dual Pack," including two of the treadmills plus accessories and an extra pair of shoes, currently costs $1,019. Shipping is extra for a yet-to-be-determined price, with both preorder packages estimated for March 2014 delivery.
Hat tip to Engadget for pointing this out on Friday. Virtuix's original Kickstarter video for the Omni and a video of the treadmill in action (keep your eye on the guy in the bottom right) are embedded below:

If you've ever looked at something like the Asus Chromebox and wanted a Windows version of it, HP is here for you. It's following up its $199 Stream 11 laptop with the Stream MIni, a tiny $180 desktop that's 2.06 inches high and weighs 1.6 pounds.
As much as we like Intel's miniature NUC devices, they do have some failings for regular consumers. You have to bring your own Wi-Fi card, SSD, RAM, keyboard, and mouse, you have to assemble them yourselves, and they can be a little expensive for what you're getting after you put them together. The Stream Mini is a complete system with a 1.4GHz Haswell-based Celeron 2957U (which will be better for performance than the Stream 11's Bay Trail chip), 2GB of RAM, 32GB of solid state storage, a keyboard and mouse, and 200GB of OneDrive storage for two years. It has the same bright blue plastic as the Stream 11 and 13—as we've noted before, HP is doing a nice job of keeping its designs consistent across multiple product lines, which we appreciate.
If you want something a little more powerful, the Pavilion Mini is a white version of the same computer that comes with better specs. $320 will get you a 1.7GHz Pentium 3558U, 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB 7200RPM hard drive. $450 steps you up to a 1.9GHz Core i3-4025U and a 1TB 5400RPM hard drive. The Pavilion Mini can be opened and upgraded by end users—it supports a maximum of 8GB of RAM, and the standard hard drive can probably be replaced with an SSD if you'd like. It's not clear whether the Stream Mini features the same expandability.
Finally, both desktops have a nice array of ports for their size: two front USB 3.0 ports, one SD card reader on the side, two rear USB 3.0 ports, an Ethernet port, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, and some kind of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.
The Stream Mini and Pavilion Mini launch online in the US on January 14 and will be available from some retailers beginning February 8. Look for a full review when we can get our hands on them.

The Needle Skips
Roll out the red carpet! Ready the brass ensemble! Hurl confetti like there's no tomorrow! Questers and slayers rejoice – we've got a brand new quest for you this month and with it comes the availability of the 400th RuneScape quest point. That also means one more slayer prefer & block slot is available, and a new pet.
The Needle Skips
This quest, which is live today (Monday November 19th) was designed by Mods Osborne and Krista. It's a novice quest, meaning there are no requirements and that it's open to everyone, and set in the Piscatoris peninsula.
It's a story told from multiple perspectives, focussing on a local family and the Needle – a powerful artefact created by the elder gods to aid them with their planetary constructions. Something horrific has happened… but due to the powers of the Needle, the whole site is trapped in some kind of time bubble, leaving an untouched crime scene for you to investigate.
You'll be using a search engine of sorts, entering clue words that you have discovered to unlock glimpses of history stored inside the bubble. As you discover more clues and clue words, further plot is revealed, finally giving you the chance to save the unfortunate individuals trapped inside.
This is the latest in a long history of detective quests, following the likes of Murder Mystery or One Piercing note. And just like One Piercing Note, it's a fully voiced quest, and an all-female cast. And, of course, you'll have access to another elder artefact – the Needle itself. No doubt that will come in handy in the future (or past) too.
Slime is of the Essence
Tossing your food scraps down a well can't do much harm, right? This is possibly true, providing said scraps aren't feeding a giant slime, which then emerges from the well and terrorises the local populace.
Slime is of the Essence is a new community event that will run for five days. Over the course of five days players will need to help defeat King Slime in Rimmington by lending a hand to a host of quirky characters. Players will need to employ a new skill each day, and free tools will be offered to help get the job done.
Your reward? We're not going to spoil that surprise completely, but there will be some tiered Slime Hunter armour, an animation and a slime pet up for grabs.
Players will be able to start the event by popping down to Rimmington when the event begins on Thursday November 22nd.
One thing to note – we had a great time coming up with a name for this one, although it's an absolute crime that 'Goo'd Well Hunting' didn't prevail. This truly is the darkest timeline.
NEW Illustrated Map of Gielinor available on Official Merch Store!
You might have seen this new map of Gielinor offered as prize in a recent survey. Now you can own a copy for your wall. Fine Art Prints are available at 4 different sizes on the store. Click here to see sizes and prices.

The map can also be found on the sleeve art for RuneScape: The Orchestral Collection on vinyl and CD which should be shipping over the next couple of weeks (currently available for pre-order at Laced Records.
Thanks to everyone who took part in our survey last month for the chance to win one of these prints. We have contacted our winners and contacted them through their in-game message centre!

The previous Rajapaksa regime had originally made the plan to give the land to a US multinational company through its Singaporean affiliate, but the secretary to the subject ministry had disproved of it.
Also, people of the area, environmentalists and civil society organizations opposed the project.
However, reliable government sources say the New York based CDVCA will now be given the land through Gazelle Ventures of Singapore, as confirmed by cabinet paper MDE/AD/03/CAB)PA/2017.
Their local agent is Islandwide Marketing Services Pvt. Ltd. (IMS), with the shares of the project to be distributed as 88 per cent for Gazelle Ventures, 10 pc for IMS and one pc each for Mahaweli Authority and the farmers.
Money to be obtained from local banks?
However, Gazelle Ventures is to make a mere 150 million dollar on the project, and the money will not be brought into the country as foreign exchange, but will be obtained from local banks.
Will aggravate human-elephant conflict, create other problems
The project envisages to produce just 14 pc, or 80,000 metric tonnes, of the local sugar requirement, and environmentalists warn allotting this vast virgin land for sugarcane cultivation will aggravate the human-elephant conflict and create other serious problems too.
IMS is the same company that mediated unsuccessfully in 2007 to handover land to Britain's Booker Tate for sugarcane cultivation.
The questionable investment for the project is same as the one made during the Rajapaksa regime for the Embilipitiya paper company, where the facility was mortgaged to a local bank to obtain a loan.
That project too, did not materialize and only ruins of the factory remain.

Murphy makes do with silver lining at ISAF World Cup
Failure to qualify for gold fleet highlights difficulties in light winds that must be addressed
Annalise Murphy: Two days of light winds in Hyeres exposed weaknesses in her sailing. Photograph: WIlliam West/AFP/GettyImages.
In spite of winning four straight silver fleet races, Annalise Murphy failed to qualify for the gold fleet at the ISAF World Cup in France this week, and the disappointment in missing the cut highlighted an inconsistency that must be ironed out if the UCD student is to realise her Olympic ambition in 2016.
Two days of light winds on Monday and Tuesday exposed weaknesses for the 23-year-old Dubliner, who finished fourth at the London Olympics, but was relegated to the back of the 55-boat Laser Radial fleet in Hyeres.
The flukey French breeze has been humbling for more sailors than Murphy.
It is certain the Chinese gold medallist Liljia Xu will not mark her return to the Olympic circuit with an expected win when the World Cup concludes tomorrow.
Yet Xu and the rest of the top-ranked competitors, including Dutch silver medalist Marit Boumeester, did make the gold fleet.
Best medal hope
Beyond the glowing publicity at home there is a need for a critical appraisal of Irish Olympic sailing efforts (with a positive bias). Murphy is Ireland's best hope for a sailing medal so she deserves all the specialist support she needs.
Murphy's task is to confront performances in the less than 8-knot zone – the conditions forecast for the 2016 Olympic venue in Rio.
Solving the problem
Whether it is to do with starting technique, decision-making, boat speed issues or mental attitude, now is the time to put all resources into solving the problem, preferably starting next month at the Eurocup in the Netherlands.
It wasn't all bad news in the Cote D'Azur: Murphy dominated the silver fleet with two wins when breeze finally arrived on Wednesday and did the same again yesterday in races four and five, displaying the world class heavy weather form she is now famous for.
The 2013 Dublin Bay Sailing Club summer season began last night from Dún Laoghaire and tomorrow the first race of a nine race ISORA summer series begins from the same port. The first course is a 50-mile race to Arklow and back.

iPad App Lets You Create Collages With Your Pinterest Pins
Want to get more creative with Pinterest? Now you can, thanks to Bazaart.
The startup has released a free iPad application that lets you collage your pins, as well as those of other users on the network. It's easy to find, add, resize, rotate and otherwise assemble your collage. You can also add borders to images or select "crop" to remove white space.
The app isn't perfect: If you have a board with more than 25 pins, you won't be able to load them all. (Gili Golander, Bazaart's fashion director, tells me this is a result of Pinterest's RSS feed limitation, and there's nothing they can do about it.) The crop button tends to completely erase light-colored images. An "undo" button would be a welcome addition as well. But it's a nice start.
Beyond collaging, the Bazaart app is also a decent Pinterest client: You can explore other boards, repin items and pull up their source pages — meaning that all of the products pins are also shoppable within the app.
The app's creators are apart of the DreamIt Ventures accelerator program for Israeli startups in New York. This is the second app they have built atop Pinterest. The first, Pinvolve, lets Facebook Page administrators quickly transfer their content to Pinterest.

Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development
Administered Budget Variances Commentary
Budget Variances Commentary
Administered Schedule of Comprehensive Income
Employee expenses are under budget by $4.0 million or 22% mainly due to the increased use of contractors and Service Delivery Agreements to deliver services in the Indian Ocean Territories.
Supplier expenses are over budget by $14 million or 11% mainly due to:
- subsequent budget revisions and reclassifications for the delivery of services on Norfolk Island from 1 July 2016; and
- a $5 million payment reclassified from Departmental expenses for environmental management costs associated with the Western Sydney Airport.
The Department's subsidy programs are demand driven. The variance of $38 million or 16% reflects a slower than anticipated uptake of the expansion of the Tasmanian Freight Equalisation Scheme.
Grant expenses are over budget by $815 million mainly as a result of a Determination by the Treasurer to bring forward Financial Assistance Grants from 2017–18.
Depreciation and amortisation expenses are over budget by $23 million or 76% due to revaluations and reassessment of asset useful lives at 30 June 2016, recognised after estimates for 2016–17 were prepared.
Write-down and impairment of assets mainly reflects the write-down of land at Moorebank NSW as a result of entering into a finance lease for nominal consideration with the Moorebank Intermodal Company Ltd (MICL) (see Note 2.1E).
Concessional loan expenses are under budget by $31 million or 21% due to changes in the drawdown schedule and present value calculations for the WestConnex loan and re-measurement of the Norfolk Island Runway loan.
The protection of the sea levy payment is subject to annual advice on contributions required to International Oil Pollution Compensation Funds.
Other taxes are over budget by $2.7 million or 7% mainly due a land tax equivalent payment received from MICL.
Revenue from the sale of goods and services is over budget by $3.0 million mainly due to increased sales of sand at Jandakot WA and increased revenue for services provided in the Indian Ocean Territories.
No payments were made through the Building Australia Fund Special Account during 2017. Estimated receipts in the original budget were subsequently incorporated into the Infrastructure Investment Program.
Industry contributions are under budget by $0.9 million or 42% due to less costs recovered for Airport Environment Officers than budgeted.
Revenue from fees and fines are under budget by $8.5 million or 4% mainly due to less Interstate Road Transport fees and Marine Navigation levies collected than budgeted.
Dividend revenue is under budget by $15 million or 15% due to a lower dividend than budgeted received from the Australian Rail Track Corporation and no dividends received from Airservices Australia.
Other revenue is under budget by $9.8 million due to the deferral of land acquisitions associated with the proposed Melbourne Airport expansion into 2017–18. The budgeted revenue includes amounts payable by the operators of Melbourne Airport to meet the costs incurred by the Commonwealth associated with the acquisitions.
Other gains are over budget due to the recognition of assets acquired for nominal consideration and a reduction in the impairment allowance for the Norfolk Island Runway Loan corresponding to the re-measurement of the loan.
Administered Schedule of Assets and Liabilities
Cash and cash equivalents reflect a drawdown of funds on 30 June 2017 to meet payments on the following business day and the reclassification of special account balances held in the Official Public Account from receivables to cash equivalents.
Investments are under budget by $224 million or 4% mainly due to a budgeted equity payment for the Oakajee Port Common User Facility through the Building Australia Fund which did not occur.
Non-financial assets are over budget by $403 million or 64% mainly due to the revaluation of land at Badgerys Creek (revalued at 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2017) and buildings and infrastructure on Christmas Island (revalued at 30 June 2016). The variance also includes grant prepayments of $11 million which were not budgeted.
Payables are over budget by $15 million or 43% due to the timing of end of year accruals.
Provisions are over budget by $0.4 million or 6% mainly due to the timing of expenses associated with the rehabilitation of land on Christmas Island affected by phosphate mining.

The ancient method of channeling has existed since the creation of the Universe and is used to communicate with the Angel and Spirit Realms. The reality behind channeling has been a source of mystery for millennia.
In order to understand this complex subject one must first learn about the difference between channeling angels and channeling spirits because they are completely different. The energy that is channeled from angels is energy in its purest form that encircles us during angel readings. The energy channeled from spirits is channeled from two completely separate dimensions from ours and they are the first and second dimensions of this planet.
Our planet is three-dimensional and as such it takes a great deal of energy in order for information to be received by the person channeling it. The purpose of trans-dimensional channeling is to enable communication between deceased loved ones and their families. As time evolves spirit channeling is becoming a much loved way of receiving validation of an afterlife that many skeptics fail to envisage. The question on everyone's minds is where are these dimensions that we hear so much about? Each of the three dimensions overlap in a parallel manner and rotate in a clockwise motion. The third dimension is where we live, the second dimension is a sanctuary for people who have left this life before moving on to the next one and the first dimension is where most people call home after this life.

Enjoy the following chat with Brick Township-based UFC middleweight prospect Nick "The Jersey Devil" Catone about his training for his Jan. 11 fight against Jesse Forbes, who replaced Steve Steinbess in the Octagon at the last minute.
While tough to train during the holidays, especially when your opponent is changed on your at the last minute, Catone, 28, and his handlers Cornell Key (strength & conditioning), Kurt Pellegrino (a fellow UFC fighter who owns an MMA school in Belmar), Professor Bill Scott (jiu jitsu), Tom Dowd (Muy Thai), Terry Fisher (boxing) and Jay Nase (wrestling) worked hard as the following interview, photos and videos will demonstrate.
This first look at Catone's training examined strength and conditioning at Key 2 Sports Training inside Wall-based Good Sports, a sponsor of Catone (http://blogs.mycentraljersey.com/fightingforlife/2010/01/08/training-with-ufc-middleweight-nick-catone-part-i-strength-and-conditioning/). This second look at Catone's training explores his boxing, jiu jitsu and wrestling.
Catone's fight may be aired on "UFC Fight Night" at 9 tonight on Spike TV. Considered one of the top prospect's in the UFC, Catone has a long list of accomplishments. He entered the UFC Octagon having been crowned Ring of Combat's middleweight champion. Before that, he was a Division I wrestler at Rider University with 100 career wins. Ranked seventh in the nation at 184 pounds in 2004, he was named Rider's Male Athlete of the Year.
A member of Brick Memorial High School's Wrestling Hall of Fame, Catone placed fourth in the state in 1999 and was a two-time District 23 champion. When not training for the UFC, Catone teaches MMA and wrestling at Point Pleasant-based BJJ Shore Academy/Shore Academy Wrestling, owned by Scott. Enjoy this first look at his training with more coming on Monday.
Nick, before you entered the UFC, where did you fight?
Catone: Ring of Combat, Asylum, New Breed and Weapons 9.
You and Bill Scott both wrestled for Brick Memorial High School but years apart. Comment on the connection you have with him through Brick Memorial and wrestling.
Catone: Bill started training me when I was in eighth grade at the Shore Academy Wrestling Club. I've been with him ever since.
After college, I got into jiu jitsu because of Bill. I was coaching at Brick Memorial and was helping at the wrestling club. He was teaching a jiu jitsu class afterward. He would always try to get me to stick around and try the jiu jitsu afterward, and I was like, 'I don't know.' So I tried it out one day and fell in love with it.
Next thing you know, I'm training three, four, five days a week. Bill got me my first fight. Ever since, I've been hooked.
Now Bill and I have the wrestling club together. And he does jiu jitsu, and I do an MMA class. I love coaching. With the Rider team, I volunteer because without wrestling, I wouldn't be where I am today. I pay back to where I came from. I am the person that I am because of what those guys put me through: Bill Scott, Jay Nase, John Hangey. Jay was my coach my junior and senior year of high school (and now a coach at Rider). He was an All-American at Rider, so I always wanted to go to Rider. While I was at Rutgers, I beat the Rider guy, so that opened their eyes a little bit. And Jay always was pushing for Rider to recruit. Then he started talking to John Hangey, who's the assistant coach right now. When I transferred in, it was his first year at Rider. He was a Rider All-American as well. Ever since, John Hangey has been like an older brother, just like Jay was for me when I was in high school.
With those guys and the wrestling background, I went from being a kid to a man. Wrestling is a great base to have. When all else fails, you always fall back on wrestling.
Those are the guys who got me started: Jay in high school, John Hangey in college and Gary Taylor is the head coach (at Rider). That's why I love going back to help out. It helps me with my training. I get pushed all the time. Doug Umbauer placed third for Rider last year. I don't think they have had an All-American place that high in the nationals since 1981 so that was a big deal. I wrestled at 184, so we were good training partners last year. He's helped me out a lot. He's a graduate assistant coach right now. So I'd give him a push. He'd give me a push. It was nice to have that.
When I was in high school, there was no opportunity for a wrestler to continue beyond the Olympics or coaching. At what point did it click that you could get paid to wrestle like you did in high school and college?
Catone: That's why I see a lot of the wrestlers go into the MMA. You have all these great athletes who peak out, who have no where to go at 22 years old. They're in great shape and then it's just over. That's why guys are starting to go toward the MMA, thinking, 'I might as well make some money with my abilities.' With wrestling, you put so much time in, it's nice that they have some place to look to after college.
But it's not like I woke up one day and said, 'Hey, I want to fight.' I just kind of fell into it. Bill talked me into it. I was training with him and then a year and a half later, I'm in the UFC. It's been a great ride. In a million years, I never expected that. I've always loved the UFC and watched it growing up, but I never said, 'Oh, I'd like to try it one day.' It didn't happen like that. Everything just fell into place. Now I'm training and teaching for a living. I love it.
For two or three years after college, I was just coaching and stuff. You miss getting pushed every day and being around the guys and training. So it was an easy transfer for me to fall into jiu jitsu. I have great training partners and great trainers. Nobody has egos.
I train two or three times a day. It's what I love to do. I'm going to do it as long as I can, to be in the best shape I can be.
I don't know how Bill does it as long as he does. He's had back surgery, knee surgery, he's had his elbow dislocated, has six screws in his back. And he wants to fight again. He's just an all-around warrior. It takes a special person to do that at that level at that age.
When did you start wrestling?
Catone: I was in third grade.
So you've been wrestling for 20 years. At this point in your life, do you still like wrestling best or do you prefer boxing, kickboxing or jiu jitsu now?
Catone: To be a Division I wrestler and to come out of the quality program I came out of, if there was one, I would say I have a black belt in wrestling. I feel that definitely is my strongest point and look forward to learning the other aspects, like boxing and jiu jitsu. Jiu jitsu is very similar to wrestling, so it definitely was an easy transfer.
You learn all these new things all the time, and it keeps your mind going, rather than doing the same repetitive stuff all the time. It's always nice to be learning and improving my MMA game. With my stand up, I'm learning new stuff every day. Even when I go back to the college – even though I'm helping out — I still learn stuff all the time. You always can learn more — pick up little things here and there – and that's what I love about the sport. It's not just wrestling. I have to train in boxing, jiu jitsu, Muy Thai, conditioning. It's never the same thing.
When you're wrestling in college, it's a long season. You wake up feeling it, and you have to go and work out. With this, you're learning so many different things, it keeps you fresh. It's nice to have a mixture of different workouts rather than the same thing every day. I still have a long way to go.
You have to be all around, especially in the UFC. They're the best of the best. You have to be able to go from stand up to the ground in seconds. You have to be able to put everything together: your stand up, your take downs, your jiu jitsu. It has to be fluid. You have to be ready at all times or you're not going to last very long. Some organizations, you might be able to get away with just being a great wrestler. But when they're well rounded, it's more challenging. To be at that next level, you have to change your game all the time and constantly be growing.
How do you like working with Terry Fisher as your boxing coach?
Catone: He's been around a long time as a professional kick boxer. He definitely has the experience. He can help me with my stand up.
Who else is in your corner?
Catone: Some times I've had Jay Nase, when I need a wrestling coach in my corner, but probably not this time. I'm allowed three. It will definitely be Bill and Kurt and one of the others. It's nice to have a lot of guys to choose from.
As a champion wrestler and mixed martial artist now in the UFC and a coach, you have kids looking up to you. Are you comfortable in the role of a role model and do you take responsibility for it?
Catone: I definitely do. I had great role models myself. I always looked up to Jay Nase, Bill, John Hangey and guys like that. They were a big part of my growing up. If I never had to talk to somebody – whether it was personal or family – I always went to them. I definitely accept the same thing from anybody who comes to me. I love to teach kids. If I can be a positive role model for them, that's great, especially with some of the stuff that goes on the world today. It's definitely hard to find a guy like Jay Nase. When you find guys like that, you just hold onto them forever.
I like to put the time in with the kids and help out at Rider. Whether it's one of those guys or if it's a 6- or 7-year-old kid or any training partners, I want to help them. It's a great sport, and I want to represent it in a good way.

Taking photographs or recording children at school.
The school has a common sense approach to parents taking photographs at school events, for example, concerts, sports day and family assemblies.
We must ask that any photographs taken are strictly for personal use only, to share with your family and close friends.
However, they must not, under any circumstances be posted on social networking sites, as this would constitute a breach of The Data Protection Act.
We recognise the immense value of sharing and keeping the happy memories of your child's school life, and I am sure you would wish the school to continue to adopt this common sense approach.

Nils' heart and spirit prove a surprisingly apt counterpoint to Reed's acerbic leanings.
A new Nils Lofgren album is always cause for celebration -- we haven't had a proper one since 2011's "Old School" -- and his current release "Blue With Lou" is something special, featuring five never-before-heard collaborations with the late Lou Reed. (And one, "City Lights," that's before-heard -- on Reed's 1979 album "The Bells.")
Yes, they make an odd couple, but the added bite that comes from Reed's influence is actually a refreshing change of pace for Lofgren -- it's a kick to hear Nils' reedy-yet-angelic croon spitting out Reed-style bile, and the collaborations are definitely among the album's strongest tracks.
It starts right out of the gate on the driving and irresistible opener "Attitude City," where Nils sings of how "there's a violence that keeps moving your feet." And the acerbic "Give" -- with lyrics admonishing you to "keep your balls refrigerated, you never know who needs [them] most" -- may be the polar opposite of Lofgren's usually more humane takes on life, love and charity, but it turns out in small doses, the darkness suits him.
Another standout, "Don't Let Your Guard Down," puts Lofgren back in the ring (shades of "No Mercy"), but this time with a lover who jilted him ("violent love can get you dead" was another one of Reed's lyrical contributions, I'm guessing). The jaunty new recording of "City Lights," meanwhile, is a (very) belated homage to "Dancing Charlie" -- Chaplin, that is -- that brings a mellower, reggae-influenced take to the duo's partnership.
Lofgren fleshes out the album with newly written material, and while the title track -- a tribute to his one-time collaborator -- is mostly lyrical mumbo jumbo buoyed by Nils' crunchy blues guitar licks, the rest are full of his traditional heart and spirit.
"Pretty Soon" is an invigorating strummer from the perspective of a soldier headed home from war, and "Too Blue to Play," an exquisite ballad of redemption through love, puts a proper spotlight on Nils' brilliant acoustic picking. He also rocks out at least once or twice, like on "Rock or Not," a nod to our troubled times in which Lofgren has some adamant advice: "Raise your sword and start swingin'," he suggests, over effectively jangly Byrds-style guitar.
It goes without saying that his guitar work is typically stellar throughout, and complemented beautifully by a phalanx of no fewer than 14 backup vocalists -- most notably the gospel wonder Cindy Mizelle, who on tracks like "Rock or Not" could give Merry Clayton on "Gimme Shelter" a run for her money, and the foursome of Kenny Miller, Josef Curtis, Jason Raetz and Toby Kidd, who bring a sort of Jordanaires charm to songs like "Talk Through The Tears," another mellower collab with Reed.
Nils ends the album on not one but two melancholy notes. The first, "Dear Heartbreaker," is the more oblique of the two -- it's more of a universal tribute to those we've lost than a spotlight on Tom Petty, to whom it's dedicated -- while the closer, "Remember You," is the tribute to a departed dog friend we never knew we needed. (In this case his pal Groucho.) If you don't think you could be moved by a song about a dog, a) you're wrong, and b) what kind of monster are you?
Overall, "Blue With Lou" has everything we love about Nils -- beautiful vocals, breathtaking guitar work and earthy lyrics -- along with a few surprises thanks to Reeds' ghostly presence. Let's hope it's a lot less than eight years until the next one.

It took me so long to write this post I'm already done. No FO post today, but still a nice update 🙂 I finshed the warming up socks last night and I love them! While working on these socks I learned a few very valuable lessons I'd like to share with you.
I've always been a lazy sock knitter. The idea of casting on more stitches and moving down a size was unthinkable. The interesting thing is how much pride I took in being a lazy sock knitter. It's like a kid half-assing highschool and boasting about it. Which, incidentally, is exactly what I did during highschool. I half-assed everything and had the least amount of exams of anyone in the entire school, and I felt so good about myself haha.
So here's the thing. The pattern calls for a 2,25mm needle and the last (and only) time I actually knit socks on a 2.25mm needle was when I was knitting my skew socks. I hated the process so much that I decided I'd never knit on 2.25 needles ever again. But knitting this sock was a completely different experience. Apparently I don't like knitting socks on steel needles. They hurt my hands because they're not as flexible as wooden needles. The tips of the needles I used when knitting Skew were too blunt. It was a real chore to knit with those needles and on top of that the yarn was handspun and too tightly plied so there was hardly any flexibility at all.
All of this gave me a good dose of hesitation every time I wanted to knit socks with 2.25mm needles.
Another thing I really learned to appreciate was the pattern. It was engaging and different than the socks I've knit so far. I guess now I know that the main reason I stopped knitting socks wasn't that I didn't have time or didn't like to knit socks anymore, but I had unknowingly placed a limit on myself and I was just getting bored of this limit. I was only 'allowed' to knit with 2.5mm and I was only 'allowed' to knit vanilla socks. Boring!
I usually didn't do colorwork knitting on socks either, because to me it felt like the process would take a lot longer. I think it actually happened: I became a process knitter instead of a project knitter. Who would've thought. I guess growth is always possible <3 Anyway, back to the knitting. I learned the Jacquard ladder technique. I think it's not really suitable for this particular pattern of stranded knitting because the floats aren't that big, but it was nice to practice with it anyway. The idea is that you use the double knitting technique to 'double knit' the floats. So you pick up an extra stitch on the inside and purl it from the right side, as you would do with double knitting. This technique is so much better than the twisting the float around the working yarn technique I used because it's really invisible. I knit this one too tight, so you can still see indentions on the right side, but the second sock was much better already.
I still think that this pattern isn't suitable for this technique, and in future I'll only use it on longer floats, but a whole new world of socks just opened up to me, because honestly knitting a sock inside out kinda sucks 😛
I was going for a set of mismatched socks because they're for DH and he always wears mismatched socks. It's become a thing and I'm going to be knitting a lot of mismatched/ fraternal socks because I read that people who wear crazy socks are awesome (or something in those lines). Apparently it's a trait that most creative people share. I'm personally not one of those people, but I guess I can live with fraternal socks 🙂
Now I don't know if this is true or not, but I'm going to choose to see this as an act of inner and personal growth. I'm blogging this and I don't have perfect FO pictures. I just have the documented process on instagram and ravelry. I haven't even washed/ blocked the second sock and I'm already doing this. 2012 me would die of shock haha.
Another thing I learned about myself is that, even though I don't have problems with second sock syndrome, knitting fraternal socks is:
a: a lot of fun because it feels like a new sock all together.
b: is more yarn efficient, because I used 2 50 gram bals of yarn and otherwise I would've needed another ball of charcoal invicta extra to finish this pair. So much more efficient.
So I joined Sock Madness 11 and I can't wait for it to begin. I don't even care if I'm out of the race in the first round. I'm going to participate for the fun, the learning experience and to bask in my new found appreciation of the process of sock knitting. As a tribute to sock knitting we launched our first ever own handdyed sock brand: Sticks & Cups Socksanity. Why you ask? Because I want to knit socks dammit. That's why <3
I honestly don't mind the shameless plug, but I'm so incredibly happy with them!
happy knitting!

Newton School Superintendent David Fleishman released this letter to the school community today….
Dear Newton Community:
For the past seven years, the Newton Public Schools have been the target of outside groups claiming anti-Israel bias in our history curriculum. These baseless claims, often reliant upon materials and documents taken out of context, are misleading and only serve to denigrate the hard work and professionalism of our skilled and dedicated faculty.
In recent months, the attacks have grown increasingly and unjustly personal. Our history teachers have been singled out, harassed and subjected to harsh and unfair criticism in the media and online. As a result, there is growing concern among our faculty about teaching controversial topics. Should these attacks continue, we worry it will jeopardize our ability to expose students to diverse opinions and to teach them about controversial issues that require open minds and critical thought.
We stand behind our faculty members, who are guided by the mission and values of the Newton Public Schools and their professional judgment. Whether it is the history of the Middle East or contemporary American politics, they are committed to engaging students around complex and challenging issues in a responsible, intellectual and balanced way.
In every class, our teachers work to ensure that students learn to separate fact from opinion, discern between different points of view, challenge their own thinking and that of their peers, and develop evidence-based opinions through study and the testing of ideas. They also provide space for students to actively listen, particularly to those voices in the minority – whether it be political, racial, ethnic, religious, or gender.
As always, we encourage our families to bring any questions about curriculum to their child's teacher or department head. Information and teaching materials are always available to families and our administrators and faculty are happy to discuss them. For more information on teaching controversial topics in the Newton Public Schools, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions on our website.
David Fleishman
Superintendent of Schools

A few keyboards
I have been typing the Dvorak layout for about 8 years now, and I have been using the Kensington Slim Type Keyboard K64365 for the last 6 years (I think).
But recently, the RSI is starting to kick in again. I really hated my desk at Accenture Duck Creek. It was a tad too high (or my chair didn't raise high enough,) hard melanine board, and I could just never get comfortable at it. In addition, this has been aggrevated a bit by all the home improvements we have been doing over the past month.
So, I checked out two other keyboards that have scissor-switch mechanisms (which I greatly prefer over plungers) and I'll compare them here.
Kensington Slim Type Keyboard
When I first purchased this, I tried a few different keyboards, and it was my third favorite, next to just about any laptop keyboard and an older generic PS2 scissor-switch keyboard. So, I ended up buying two, and now actually own 4. Work, home, home virus station, and a backup boxed up in the closet.
What I like about the Kensington is that it has low-profile and low-travel keys. It features the standard arrow layout, has a large enter and backspace (my most used key), and slighly domed caps, much like a laptop.
What I don't care for about this keyboard is that while it is low profile, the front of the keyboard is 5/16" high and does not feature a palm rest. That lift ends up being just enough to be annoying, especially on a hard desk. Wrist pads are all too tall, and you can never get them adjusted to the right spot. About the best luck I have had with it is to place a couple of mouse pads in front of it. This can be especially awkward at work, considering my crappy corner desk that I have used.
Also, the Home, Insert, etc. are not layed out in the more traditional style (I think) of 3w x 2h.
A little annoying in low-light conditions is that the function keys offer no separation betwenen them and the number row, nor are they grouped in sets of four. Finding F4 can be a bit tough at night.
And finally, after comparing it with the two keyboards, I've noticed that the keys require considerably more force to actuate.
Logitech Illuminated Keyboard
I purchased this (and the Kinesis) last week. Backlit may seem silly for a home computer, but as you can see in the picture below, I use a keyboard tray at home, and I like to have just one lamp on in my home office. While I do touch-type, the backlighting will be nice for finding the less-seldom used keys, especially as I get to learn the keyboard. It features four settings, off through high.
I didnt't purchase it for the backlighting exclusively, but wanted to try another low profile keyboard. While I saw reviews that the palm rest is too small, I saw others that raved about the keyboard. The palmrest does have a soft touch to it, and it does reduce pressure and strain in comparison to the Kensington, but, it is a bit short. It hits me right at where the pad of my palm starts, so my pads still take all the force and weight of my arms.
The keys are snappy, with a strong tactile return. They seem to take slightly less force than the Kensington, but I wouldn't call either a light-touch keyboard.
It features the standard arrows, as well as a modified 3w x 2h Home bank, with Delete taking a whole row and Insert moved up to the function row. If you use insert regularly, this will drive you crazy.
The function row is grouped into fours and separated from the number row. As many other reviews have noted, the F1 … lettering is on the front of the keys so it faces you, but these are not lazer etched and therefor not backlit. However there's enough light on the keys around that you'll probably be able to see them, and you can usually look for the banks of 4.
One really cool feature to this is the space bar row is raised and domed slightly. It makes it, as well as ALT etc extremely easy to hit.
All in all this is OK, but I don't think it's going to reduce the strain at all that I'm feeling on the Kensington.
Kenesis Freestyle 2
And finally, the Freestyle 2. I picked this because I saw positive reviews just about everywhere, and it is a split keyboard tha features the ability to set the separation, angle, and lift of each keypad independently.
I have never typed for prolonged periods of time on an ergonomic or split keyboard. Immediately, I noticed two things.
When separating them, I felt a lot of strain go away. My shoulders relaxed and my wrists seemed to feel a bit better.
When typing and needing the modifiers such as Control + Arrows, I felt a longing for the keyboard to be back together. The best I can tell is because I was more used to the spacial differences between the Left Control and the Arrow pad, and I actually take my right hand off of the keyboard to get to the arrows. The rest of it felt fine, I didn't find myself having too many problems getting used to the keys being split.
At first, I separated the keyboard to what felt best ergonomically. I also set it up at 15 degrees lift, which felt great, but, I found that this was too much of a change from my traditional typing posture, so I dropped it to 5 degrees and moved the keypads in quite a bit.
I've typed this entire comparison on the Kinesis, and it has gone fairly well. I've noticed at every position, the keyboard feels plenty sturdy.
I highly recommend the add-on kit. I haven't tried it without it, and don't think I would enjoy it much. You can't adjust the lift/pitch and the keyboard lip is a bit high so you would want to adapt that somehow. Personally, I think they should just mark the price of the keyboard up and include the add-on kit with it. But, I think they were trying to cheat the $100 price point.
They intentionally left the number pad off of this, as they can sell it as an add-on, I mean, it wouldn't fit nicely actually with the way the pads are laid out. This saves desk space if you don't use the number pad. I do use it on occasion, but I don't think I'm going to miss it that bad.
The keys are the traditional height caps, and as such have further travel than I would like. However, they have a nice, soft touch to them and I think this is going to make a huge difference for me. They are also not too loud; it's not the quietest keyboard I've ever tried, and I still wish I could get that feel of a laptop keyboard without having to type on the laptop, but this will do. (Note I did try a Mac keyboard in the recent past. These have a decent key actuation, and is very similar to what I was looking for, however it felt cramped. Also the caps aren't indented quite as much as I like)
They have stacked the home bank, and while I should be used to that because of the Kensington, I'm not. I think that is in large part because I probably find the number pad on the Kensington and then work left to the bank. Also, the Kensington is Home, Pg Up, Pg Down, End, and I'm really used to that layout. Given that I use a real operating system that lets me easily remap the keys, I will probably be changing that.
And finally, I would recommend trying this out without putting the palm pads on first. THey are a bit thick and so they basically end up shortening the palm rest a bit. It now feels like they hit me in the back of my pad, whereas before that was resting nicely on the rest and there is a good beveled edge so it doesn't cut in. These are replaceable, so I'm probably just going to remove them. YMMV, but I'd try it for a while first.
The winner for me is hands down the Kinesis. I expect a couple of the keys to take me a while to learn, and I am going to have to add a tube light to my office desk drawer now if I want backlighting, but that's OK, I've wanted to do that for a while anyway.
If I had not liked it, I probably would go with the Logitech for both the client's office and my office, and would throw it on top of a Rhinoskin. Altough, I may have tried to create a small palm rest for the Kensington. I bought a Rhinoskin for the desk and intended to hack it up to make one.
If you like heavier actuation, go with the Kensington or Logitech. The Logitech really pushes the keys back up at you. I think you'll be mostly satisfied with either of those, with the two biggest drawbacks for me being the heavy actuation and the lack of sufficient palm rests.

I am amazed at the number of people who choose to hire a debt settlement company. I realize that you are being bombarded with advertisements that claim that they can help, but the truth is that most of these agencies are scams, or, in a better light, simply not worth the money.
The scams are quite frequent. I have had a number of clients contact me with the same claim, that they have paid several monthly payments, sometimes up to 18 months worth, only to find that the settlement company has done nothing or worse, gone out of business.
Other clients contact me and say that the settlement company did help them. When I hear that, I always dig further. Client X called me a few months ago and told me that a debt settlement company got a $20,000 credit card debt reduced to $12,000, which he thought was a great deal. Then I asked him about payments and he told me that he had made 19 $1000 payments to the company. I asked him to do the math and I could see his jaw drop through the phone. He was charged $7000 to obtain a net $1000 reduction on his claim. To make matters worse, we found out that they have given him bad advice on a claim that they could not settle. (That is why he contacted me).
He received a lawsuit from a collection agency that the debt settlement company could not settle. The debt settlement company advised him to send a letter to the court explained his financial difficulties. Fortunately, he contacted me before sending the letter. Had he sent that letter, he would have lost the case for sure. Instead, we filed objections to the lawsuit (for a very, very small fraction of the $7000 that he was charged on the other claim) and had the claim dismissed.
If you are facing a collection agency claim, generally the last place that you want to go is to a debt settlement company. Call my office at 412-823-8003 or 1-888-536-6644 for a free, no obligation review of your claim.

Un grazie e un libro sulla conoscenza libera per teEdit
Gentile Pbsouthwood,
oggi ti scrivo a nome dell'associazione Wikimedia Italia per ringraziarti del tempo che hai dedicato ai progetti Wikimedia.
Come piccolo omaggio avremmo piacere di spedirti una copia (tutta in carta riciclata) del libro di Carlo Piana, Open source, software libero e altre libertà. Fornisci un recapito per ricevere una copia del libro.
Pochi giorni fa il mondo ha festeggiato la giornata dell'amore per il software libero, ma ogni giorno è buono per ricordare le garanzie delle licenze libere e le centinaia di migliaia di persone che si sono unite per costruire questo bene comune della conoscenza. Speriamo che questo libro ti sia utile per apprezzare quanto hai fatto e per trasmettere la passione della conoscenza libera a una persona a te vicina.
Se desideri una copia ma non puoi fornirci un indirizzo a cui spedirla, contatta la segreteria Wikimedia Italia e troviamo una soluzione insieme.
Grazie ancora e a presto,

- Lorenzo Losa, Nemo bis, Thank you for this kind offer, but I do not read Italian, so a hard copy would not be useful to me. Regards, · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 07:43, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
