It was a Saturday morning, around 6am when the monitor started to pick up little sounds coming from the kids' bedrooms. The Saturday morning routine was for hubs to take AG to gymnastics and I stay home with L. It's the way we've done it for the past year. But on this particular day, hubs suggested I take her to gymnastics. I quickly agreed.
Right then, my mind immediately started thinking about the things I could get done during that time. As a mom who works from home, with at least one child home at all times, I have to get creative when it comes to getting my work done. When I do have some quiet time, my mind immediately goes to the work that needs to be done. Since the parents sit in the bleachers and watch, that meant I had a good 45 minutes to myself. My plan involved hot coffee and catching up on emails. I knew I could get through them all in the 45 minutes I was there.
We got ready, headed out the door, made a quick stop at DD (hot coffee!!) and were on our way.
We arrived at the gym. As I was unloading AG out of the car, she gave me directions of exactly what I had to do.
"First, you have to put my shoes in the cubby. Then you have to walk me out to my teacher. After that, you can go upstairs to watch me. Mama, you're going to watch me, right?"
The mom guilt hit. My thoughts had been focused on getting things done. All she had thought about was having mommy there with her on this particular day. Something that never happened, which made it even more special.
Right then, I made a decision not to pick up my phone. Not to even take it out of my purse. There wasn't anything more important than being a proud mom cheering on her little girl who was growing up way too fast. Nothing more important than being in the moment.
It was the best decision I could have made. Not only for her but for me.
If I had gotten my phone out to go through emails that day, I would have missed it.
I would have missed seeing her point up into the bleachers saying "look there's my mommy!"
I would have missed the hops, the skips, the jumps and rolls through the obstacle course.
I would have missed her trying so hard to get her hand stand up against the wall.
I would have missed seeing her turn around to look up at me and wave after she completed each activity.
I would have missed seeing her fear getting onto the zip line and then the high five celebration with her teacher after she did it.
I would have missed the little fall off the balance beam and the thumbs up saying I'm okay that followed.
I would have missed seeing her help the little boy who didn't know where to go.
I would have missed seeing how much fun she was having.
If I wasn't there that day, I would have also missed this awards ceremony and the bear hug that followed.
Sometimes it's hard for me to just be in the moment. Hard to clear my head of the could have, should have or would haves. I struggle to step away from the to do list. I need to be better about it.
I will be better about it.
These are the moments I don't want to miss. These are the moments that are fleeting as the kids grow up. The moments, I'll one day give anything to get back. Nothing on my to do list is more important than that.

MLB trade rumors: Yankees eyeing A's Yonder Alonso, Mets' Lucas Duda for 1B help
In trading for Garrett Cooper last week, the Yankees would love to say they have their solution at first base. The rookie is hitting .286 in four games with three doubles and an RBI, but he is a 26-year-old rookie, and it's hard to imagine the Yankees betting on Cooper as the long-term fix at first.
Greg Bird is the obvious solution at first base for the Yanks, but after it came out that the Yankees' prospect is set for foot surgery in the coming days, it is likely he will not help the team this season.
Now the Yankees must look for other longer-term solutions like Mets first baseman Lucas Duda or even the A's Yonder Alonso.
According to the New York Post, Yankees scouts were in attendance for Duda's 16th home run in the Mets' 6-3 loss to the Cardinals Monday night. Duda is on pace to hit a career-high in home runs in one of the least hitter-friendly parks in all of baseball at Citi Field.
It was reported a few weeks ago the Yankees were looking into acquiring Duda and that the Mets may be willing to deal him. It should also be noted that while Duda is playing well, the Mets are not, and trading Duda would open up a path to the majors for Mets' prized prospect Dominic Smith, who is widely regarded as a plus hitter and first baseman.
At the same time the trade would net prospects that the Mets desperately need, it just depends on what they would get back for Duda. Maybe a couple of middling prospects or one bordering on the better Yankee prospects like a Chance Adams or a Justus Sheffield. Though that may be a little bit bold.
As for Alonso, MLB.com reported the Yankees are looking into acquiring him as well.
#Yankees, #Athletics discussing Yonder Alonso, sources confirm. @Ken_Rosenthal reported on activity between the teams yesterday. @MLB— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) July 18, 2017
It is unclear which player would cost more though. While Alonso is having an All-Star season, the two players are pretty comparable and both are free agents after the season. It just depends on who the Yankees truly want, because if they decide they want to go get one of them, they have the prospects to do it.

Lawmakers pass bill for stem cell center
KU medical center provided no funding for mandatory operation
Kansas lawmakers have approved a bill that would require the University of Kansas Medical Center to start a center to promote research and use of adult stem cells, cord blood and related stem cell therapies.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports that the House and Senate sent the legislation to Gov. Sam Brownback on Friday.
The bill would prohibit the center from using embryonic stem cells or cells taken from aborted fetal tissue. It also would require the medical center to appoint a director of the center to oversee patient treatment and research.
However, the bill does not include any state funding for the proposed center. The Midwest Stem Cell Therapy Center would require $1.1 million to renovate a lab and hire staff and $750,000 annually after that.

The stars were absurd, and the skeletons could no longer read them. In the old cities, the language had died. The long and endless winter came, greeted with sadness, joy and even excitement. They would camp out under the stars now and wait. It was best to lie as still as possible and look up at the snowbound peaks, the naked trees, the melancholy galaxies. They would lie still, wrapped as mummies in tawny fox furs, orange tartans, amber wrappings of deerskin and linen, and coats of golden straw. The smoked silence and tarred landscape waited with them. As moths rise from their cocoons, maybe owls would rise from their bedrolls. And with gray eyes and glass talons they would soar into starlight and snow.
The Seasons
Misfortunes come to many scholars, but not all of them involve poverty, exile, loss or the sorrows of desire. Watching a wizened old calligrapher casually write characters from famous poems at his table with a view of the garden and its sculpted pines, one scholar said to his friend that it was utterly vulgar to answer a poem about spring with a poem about the fall. The friend readily agreed, but added as an afterthought that the ancients must have been most barbarous, for they lived through an age which they named for both the spring and the fall. The calligrapher began to laugh, and said: The longer you live, the shorter the distance between the blossoming plum and the golden birch. It's one and the same wind that scatters flowers and dead leaves; it's the same sun that journeys through the vernal and autumnal equinoxes. In winter the night stars are bright, and the silence of the earth and sky is sublime. The earth looks like birch bark, the snow like plum blossoms, yet both seem far away and one feels the wistfulness of the pure and empty wind.
The Winter
One winter never thawed in the cave of her chest. And yet, it had no trees with icicles; it had no hills that sparkle with the glass of dead grass locked in frost. It had no screens of snow, no sculptured ice rivers. Wrapped in sheets of concrete she slept and wandered, leaving no prints on the earth. For the earth left her fallen on stones and stars. For her long legs were songs of hollow straw. Those who have skinned the earth blood-raw have said that she has no skin to speak of. Those who read verses in the vault of heaven have said that her tattoos are illegible. And nothing she holds in her permafrost hand finds its shape once again or remembers its name.
The Wooden Bear
Once upon a time, there was a wooden bear. At midnight, he would transform into a real bear, and go walking through the snow, smoking cigarettes, drinking cider, eating small creatures and philosophizing to the stars. After three or four hours of such nonsense, he would return to his place before an old shop, and sleep as a wooden statue once again. There was a slightly mad cellist who was wealthy, lonely, cruel and mad. One night, she saw the bear wake up and walk in the wet snow. She had to have the wooden bear as her own possession, and hurried home to make her plans. Within a few days, she had paid off the shopkeeper and some brawny fellows to haul the wooden bear to her home. That very afternoon, she made coffee and pastries, and invited all of her rich friends over to brag about her acquisition. They fawned on her and praised her. She was so pleased, she forgot about the enchantment of the carved statue and her devious, secret plans for it. She went straight to bed and slept well. On the stroke of midnight, the wooden bear came alive and went into a temper when he realized he was not at his home on the street. First, he raided her cellar and drank her cider and ate all of her salmon, whether canned, dried, or frozen. Then he left claw marks and tears on her furniture and her curtains. Lastly, he began to play her cello, and he played it very beautifully, far more beautifully than she or anyone in the town could ever hope to play. Hearing the music and waking from her sleep, the woman went downstairs to investigate. Storming into the parlour and seeing the chaos, the woman screamed in rage at the bear. Had she not paid good money for him? Was this her reward? The bear cited the law, and had her know that he had not been paid a cent to be kidnapped and to become her prisoner, but he would gladly keep her cello if she wished to avoid arrest and a long trial. Then, the wooden bear left and walked home, stopping now and then to play something beautiful to accompany the white snowflakes gently falling in the brilliance of the lampposts on the deserted streets.
The Poor Man
It was a mineral winter of oil-gray trees and aluminum clouds. The poor man clutched his beads to pray. The roof and walls of his apartment were cracked. One sink would hardly drain. The heating never worked. Rust and mold reigned. No amount of sweeping kept the dust at bay. Mourning fourteen lost souls, burdened with debt, exhausted and physically broken from thirty years of trauma and labour, he had few words to describe his pain. On the one hand, he knew his misfortunes were the workmanship of his sins. On the other hand, every good deed and work of wisdom seemed to have faded, to have vanished like a mirage. In his desperation, the poor man prayed for some temporal relief, some grace to escape his misery. Then, in a fury, he shook his fist at heaven and complained about the abuse and injustice he had received. Weeping, he immediately asked for forgiveness for possibly blaspheming or being ungrateful. Only seconds later, he was assailed with a new form of guilt, for it seemed arrogant to imagine himself capable of anything but a miserable, blasphemous outburst, and arrogant to ask for what he did not deserve, even if he could not define what it was that he thought he deserved. It now remained for him to find out which guilt was the right one, and whether grace might relieve his confusion.
The Herrings
The dried herrings hang from the smoke-blackened rafters. It is possible that consciousness is indestructible. Have the herrings counted the straws they cannot see in the thatching above their tails? Are they afraid of the spear with a detachable hook? Should they stare into the embers of the charcoals below? Is there a great famished brown bear awakening from hibernation and walking through the birch forest in the snow? Will the herrings dream tonight of the dark blue waters of the northern sea, as if staring into an unimaginable kingdom that only exists in folktales? Is hanging upside down the correct posture for thought? Why have they left those smoking charcoals unattended? And what are foxes?
The Stars
One cold, winter night, a young woman was waiting in vain for the bus. She started to walk to keep from freezing. The omnibus traveled at about 40 mph. The earth traveled around the sun at about 70,000 mph. The solar system drove the celestial highways of the galaxy at close to 600,000 mph. The galaxy traveled at a speed of up to 700,000 mph. The local cluster of galaxies traveled at almost double that speed at 1,340,000 mph. One day, some 4 billion years into tomorrow, her galaxy would crash into another galaxy–it was heading into the collision at a speed of 240,000 mph. She could only walk about 4 mph, but the possibility of a stray motorist driving into her at 20 to 50 times her speed was not improbable. More than 12 people a day died that way. Though the wind was sharp, the traffic lights and shop windows made her feel warm in her heart. The manholes looked like black holes. A dark sea of stars glowed in the northern sky. All the iced, black sidewalks had been covered with the pale blue sparkles of salt. The salt splashes looked like galaxies and constellations of stars, some dim and some bright, giving the illusion of varying distances. She could not escape the temptation to count and build a puzzle as she walked. There seemed to be about 5 galaxies of salt per square of pavement. The more she walked, the more she counted. There were about 40 paved squares per block. Block after block, her vague math seemed to confirm the estimate. There were about 10 blocks per mile, and thus 400 paved squares per mile. She knew from the city's published records on engineering and maintenance that there were some 90 miles of sidewalk, which meant there were about 36,000 paved squares. To summarize, there were about 200 galaxies per block, 2000 galaxies per mile, and thus about 180,000 galaxies of salt on the sides of the city streets that night, if all had been salted just like the blocks she had walked till now. In those days, scientists thought there might be about 500,000,000,000 galaxies in the universe. Cities like hers, with a population of 150,000 or more, only numbered 5,000. There were not enough cities on earth. She would need almost 600 times more cities with frozen, salted streets to mirror the heavens above.

Education tax credits can help offset the costs of paying for your education or costs you pay for an eligible student who is your spouse or a dependent you claim on your tax return. For 2011, the American Opportunity Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit are available to qualified taxpayers who pay expenses for eligible students. Credits are great because they are dollar for dollar reductions in your taxes due as opposed to deductions which merely reduce your income subject to tax. The American Opportunity Credit isn't so much new for 2009 through 2012 as it is the juiced up version of the Hope Credit. Under the temporary credit, you can offset the cost of $2,500 for qualified education expenses paid for each eligible student so long as you qualify. To qualify, your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) can't be more than $90,000 of single, head of household, or qualifying widow(er) or $180,000 if married filing jointly. The American Opportunity Credit is available only for the first four years of postsecondary education (including years that you opt to take the Hope Credit). An eligible student must be pursuing an undergraduate degree or other recognized education credential and enrolled at least half time for at least one academic period that begins during the tax year. And don't get me started on this narrow window but an eligible student may not have any felony drug convictions (I'm guessing murder is okay?). The best part? Forty percent of the American Opportunity Credit may be refundable. This means that if the refundable portion of your credit is more than your tax, the excess will be refunded to you. In contrast, the Lifetime Learning Credit is a credit of up to $2,000 for qualified education expenses paid for all eligible students. The income restrictions are also a bit lower: $60,000 if single, head of household, or qualifying widow(er) and $120,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly. Unlike the American Opportunity Credit, there is no limit on the number of years the lifetime learning credit can be claimed for each student. The credit is also completely nonrefundable. And, also unlike the American Opportunity Credit, felony drug convictions don't affect eligibility. For purposes of both credits, qualified expenses include tuition and fees required for enrollment. They also include course-related books, supplies, and equipment. Additionally, for purposes of both credits, qualified education expenses do not include amounts paid for insurance, medical expenses (including student health fees), transportation, room and board and similar personal, living, or family expenses – even if the payment of these expenses are a condition of enrollment or attendance. As with the tuition and fees deduction, you can use money that you borrow in order to calculate the credit but you cannot claim the credit based on expenses paid with tax-free scholarship, fellowship, grant, or education savings account funds such as a Coverdell education savings account, tax-free savings bond interest or employer-provided education assistance. Remember that you can't claim the tuition and fees deduction and education credits for the same tax year. Run the math and figure out which is most beneficial to you. Similarly, you can't claim both credits for the same student. Again, do the math and figure which credit makes the most sense to claim for the current tax year. Other restrictions and exceptions may apply so check with your tax professional if you have questions. This, of course, brings us to today's giveaway. Since you can't furnish your dorm room and claim the costs as part of the education credits (as with the tuition and fees deduction), we have a virtual smorgasbord of cool stuff to help you outfit your space. And, of course, some of our giveaways are great for high school students (as well as moms and dads).

The 1000 watt motor allows the Ninja Blender to pulverize whole fruits and vegetables with a simple touch of a button.

Ready within just one minute and requiring only tap water, the Press & Refresh kills 99.9% of common household germs and bacteria on clothes and upholstery. It includes a Vertical Press Pad that serves as an "ironing board" that conveniently hangs on any door for beautiful garments in minutes. To protect students from the unknown history of their mystery bed, innovative bedding producer, Therapedic International has introduced the first odor-eliminating mattress pad that serves as a barrier between students and their beds. The mattress pad uses a specialized fabric treatment and patented technology that captures stains and eliminates unpleasant odors associated with college living (in every sense of the word). The odor-eliminating, waterproof, and stain-repelling product also absorbs all the smells and stains that students really don't want to deal with, such as unlaundered sheets, sex, sweat, food residue, stale beer, and after that crazy party, the unfortunate reality of stained vomit. The Therapedic Puresleep® mattress pad is available at Bed Bath and Beyond stores nationwide and comes in Extra Long twin to fit the typical dorm bed. Finally, you can enter to win an all-in-one from Epson. Epson has a device that will do the job of many technologies – printing, copying, scanning and faxing – and it only requires one small corner of dorm or home office space, the Epson WorkForce 840 all in one.

SCM Sandya 312/18
I have a Sandya 3 widebelt sander and the feed belt needs to be roughed up a bit, I was wondering what the proper steps are to do this? Thanks
60 grit or rougher belt.
Make some marks across the width of the feed belt. I use sharpie.
Raise the table until the auto stop kicks in.
Start up conveyor and sanding head and raise the table by hand until the sanding head is just kissing the surface. You should hear and smell this.
Let the conveyor feed run and keep an eye on your line(s). Raise in small increments until the line is erased.
Back the table down again, change belts, done!
Thanks for the help, I will give it a try!
never dress the belt until you confirm your head is level to the existing belt first. This is done by sanding two identical strips on either outside edge of the machine (about 1" off the edge) to confirm parallelism. Then it's okay to dress the belt. You do not want to grind your belt with an unlevel head.
A few things to consider before you dress your conveyor belt....age of machine, running hours, condition of your contact drum, and condition of your conveyor bed plates. If you have wear in the drum, bed plates or both you could create other issues.
If your rubber drum has never been dressed, chances are good you will have some wear to it. Its rubber, its going to wear, no different than the rubber tires on your vehicle. And yes a steel drum will wear as well, just not as fast and probably not as much. More so if you are using a cloth belt versus a paper belt only because of the backing on the cloth belt. However I wouldn't recommend using a paper belt on a steel drum even if the drum is serrated. You will create heat faster on a paper belt than a cloth belt and it will most likely burn.
If any of the above are worn, you will mirror/dress that wear onto your conveyor belt which may create tolerance and stock removal issues.
When I dress conveyor belts, I try to verify all of the above. Yes it may be labor intensive at times, but I save my customers a whole lot of headaches and downtime later by verifying the condition of those components. It's also piece of mind for them to know if there are hidden areas of the machine that are worn and often times gets overlooked. Also in most cases I will use a 60 grit cloth belt. I never use a paper belt to dress my conveyor belts.

On UN International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, the Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL) has called on the State to ensure that family members of children who were forcibly disappeared, either through forced adoption or unidentified burials while in institutional care, are given information about the children's fate and whereabouts.
Enforced disappearance is widely considered one of the gravest possible human rights violations, and is recognised in international law as a crime against humanity when widespread or systematic. Under international law, an enforced disappearance occurs when a person is detained or abducted with the involvement of the State, following which the State refuses to disclose their fate or whereabouts.
Director of ICCL, Liam Herrick, said:
"The State-sponsored system of forcibly separating unmarried mothers and their children during the 20th century appears to ICCL to involve 'enforced disappearance', one of the gravest violations of European and international human rights law. Last year a European Parliament Committee recognised that a similar system in Spain – that of the 'stolen babies' – constitutes crimes against humanity. Ireland needs to wake up to the seriousness of what is at stake."
ICCL is calling on the State to provide statutory rights to information to all those who survived the Irish system, including all people who were forcibly separated from their family members through the closed, secret adoption system in Ireland, as well as the family members of children who died in institutional care. This means that the bodies of children in the Tuam grave must be exhumed, identified, and all possible information about their circumstances of death given to their family members.
Mr. Herrick said:
"It is simply not good enough that Galway County Council conducted a straw poll as to what should be done in the Tuam case, including the option of simply covering over the site and placing a memorial there. The State is obliged to identify the children's bodies, to conduct a full public investigation, and to provide guarantees that nothing like this can ever happen again.
We know that there are mass unmarked graves of children in places other than Tuam. We have heard adopted people and many others who were forcibly separated from their family members call repeatedly for information about what happened to them and to their relatives. Full disclosure of information is required. The secrecy must stop and the State must recognise its human rights obligations towards all of these individuals."
ICCL is also calling on the government to ratify the UN Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, which it has already signed but not yet ratified.
Enforced disappearance is unique in international law in that it is considered an ongoing crime until family members have been informed by the State as to the fate and whereabouts of their relative.
Notes for editors:
The United Nations Declaration on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearances, UNGA Res 47/133 (1 December 1992) UN Doc A/RES/47/133 (http://www.un.org/documents/ga/res/47/a47r133.htm) explains that 'enforced disappearances' occur when
'persons are arrested, detained or abducted against their will or otherwise deprived of their liberty by officials of different branches or levels of Government, or by organized groups or private individuals acting on behalf of, or with the support, direct or indirect, consent or acquiescence of the Government, followed by a refusal to disclose the fate or whereabouts of the persons concerned or a refusal to acknowledge the deprivation of their liberty, which places such persons outside the protection of the law'.
According to the UN Committee Against Torture, redress for crimes against humanity requires restitution, compensation, rehabilitation, satisfaction and the right to the truth, and guarantees of non-repetition. The UN Committee Against Torture General Comment No 3 on redress:
'Implementation of article 14 by States parties' (13 December 2012) UN Doc CAT/C/GC/3 para 2. Available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/5437cc274.html

Patch ID - 5315_20180315
This is a cumulative patch for CM1 5.3 SR1 that includes defect corrections & minor enhancements. This patch includes an Uninstall option to support rollback in the event the Patch introduces a problem or issue. The patch may be downloaded from the Support portal. For instructions on Installing or Uninstalling the Patch, please review the Patch Readme file. An updated list of Known Issues can be found at the bottom of this page.
This is a culmulative patch that includes all of the improvements delivered in previous patches for the 5.3 SR1 version. For details on what was included in previous Patch updates, please see the release notes for prior patches. Links to prior patch Release Notes are provided below:
- 5315_20180306

- 5315_20161102
Improvements in this Patch
This patch includes a couple of issues that did not make the cut for the prior patches and late breaking corrections for customer reported issues.
TLS 1.2 is now enabled for both the DTS and CM1 by default. TLSv1 has not been disabled at this patch level, but will be retired in the 5.4 release, and/or in a future 5.3 patch. This patch will update the DTS http and https connectors in the conf/server.xml file with a good security configuration for SSL as well as enabling compression.
For system admins that may have customized their Http or Https connectors, and do not want Percussion to update the security settings, they may add a perc-no-update="true" attribute to each Tomcat Connector that they do not want updated prior to installing the patch, and the patch installer will skip those Connectors when the patch is applied.
Improvements were made in the following areas: Navigation, Publishing, and Site Management. A new Layout property was added to the Navigation widget to limit the number of Navigation items returned at both starting and ending levels.
RSS Feeds
Rss feed will now generate absolute links (instead of relative links) to images included in the Page Sumary when the canonical link feature is enabled.
Blog List / Page Autolist / Result List Pagination
The Pagination feature has been updated to generate correct "link rel" tags while Paging to better support SEO.

Known Issue List
- CMS-3614 - After applying the Patch end users may need to Clear their browser cache in the CM1 user interface in order to see the new changes to the Rich text Editor and plugins, ideally this should be automated.
- CMS-3389 - Customer using the secure sections feature will have problems starting the DTS after applying the patch. They should contact technical support for a work around prior to attempting to patch their instance.
- CMS-3257 Customers using the MySQL database server as the backing database for the DTS, will lose the MySQL Connector jar if it was previously placed into the <InstallDir>/Deployment/Server/perc-lib directory. To correct this problem the MySQL Connector for Java may be installed or symlinked into the <InstallDir>/Deployment/Server/lib directory. Percussion does not include this connector as part of our installation due to license incompatibility issues.
- CMS-3490 - Customers Patching the DTS on Windows Servers will need to reinstall the DTS Windows service by using the "<InstallDir>\Deployment\Server\bin\service.bat remove" and "<InstallDir>\Deployment\Server\bin\service.bat install" commands. Once the service has been successfully re-installed, the Percussion DTS Windows Service will correctly start.
- CMS-3280 -Customer's running the DTS on a server that also has native APR libraries installed, may run into problems starting the DTS HTTPS connector. The HTTPS connector may fail to start with an invalid Keystore configuration. To resolve this issue, remove or comment out the following line in the <InstallDir>/Deployment/Server/conf/server.xml file:
<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener" SSLEngine="on"/>
<!-- <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener" SSLEngine="on"/> -->. Restarting the DTS after this change will resolve the APR related errors.

Article by Steve Rizzo
When work and life are out of balance, you might have a conversation in your head that sounds something like this:
I love my job, but it hurts that I am missing out on valuable time with my kids, time that I will never get back. I am going to have to occasionally leave early so that I can have more time for them. When I get home too late, I know that I missed out on something very special. I don't like going to bed feeling guilty.
I'm tired of taking my job home with me. I need a weekend off from work without interruption. I want to be able to do what I want – read a book, listen to music, work in my garden, sleep. I miss this part of myself – and I'm taking it back.
My spiritual reservoir is empty. Taking time to commune with nature is important to me, and I barely have time to meditate or to appreciate a sunrise or sunset the way I used to. I guess I just got caught up. Yes, I'm successful, but I don't feel fulfilled. I have to bring that sacred part of me back to myself. I deserve to be happy on all levels.
Sound familiar?
There's no doubt we are living in a fast-paced world that makes it easy to get lost and lose track of our values.
A value can be something tangible or intangible that we esteem highly – like family, freedom, spirituality, health, goodness, playfulness, self-sufficiency, time to spend as we like, and so on.
Your personal and professional lives are individual parts of you that make up the whole of yourself. If you put most of your time and energy into just one of those things, you run the risk of leaving the other unfulfilled.
When our jobs consume us, our souls pay the price. Of course, it is important to love what we do for a living. It is essential that we devote quality time to our jobs and do our work with excellence. The problem arises when what we do for a living interferes with our other precious core values.
These cherished values are sacred parts of us that need to be experienced and expressed. They give us self-worth. If we ignore them for too long, it leads to unhappiness, regardless of how prestigious our professions are, how much money we make, or how successful we think we are.
When you have conversations like these in your head, it's a sign that things must change –and it is up to you to change them.
When you finally become aware that your job is interfering with other important parts of yourself, you can begin searching for ways to create more balance in your life.
The result of living aligned with all your values is pure and simple happiness – increased peace of mind, self-respect and a sense of fulfillment.
Now that's what I call nourishing your soul!

Costs To Consider When Building A Home
Building the first home could be a thrilling experience. You will be spending almost all your life savings for building a home. This is the reason why you should be carefully spending the money. There are many kind expenses that a builder has to bear for building a home. First time home buyers can visit https://www.b1homes.com.au/ to get more suggestions. In this article, we would like to discuss some of the costs, which were not considered by the first time builders at the beginning of the project. If you are looking to boost your retirement with real estate investment, then you can just go through this link – money.usnews.com/investing/real-estate-investments/articles/2017-11-08/real-estate-investments-retirement-income.
Every builder wishes to have the building project completed on time smoothly. However, the project could be delayed due to various reasons such as inclement weather, political and other factors. With the delay in the project, there could be an increase in the cost. Therefore, it is better to have contingency funds to tackle the unforeseen reasons.
There are many low-cost builders, who provide building projects at attractive packages. However, he will charge money during and after building the project to cover various expenses. To avoid any disappointment, you should ask your contractor, whether you need extra amount than mentioned in the initial price tender. You should not hesitate to talk with multiple contractors to get an idea on pricing.
Before constructing the home, the building contractor should do soil testing and land survey. Soil testing helps to find whether the soil is good enough to hold the building for years. The quality of the soil also helps the contractors to decide what type of building and how many floors can be constructed. Check if the cost of soil testing and the land survey is included in the contract so that you are clear.
If you are going alter in the middle of the construction process, then you are going to shell out more money than planned. Each change can cost you significantly. So, you should think and decide your plan before the construction process begins. It is a great idea to stick to your plan and don't ask for any deviations, as they cost you more and affect your budget.
Most homes are built for dwelling purpose. You may have to pay more for driveways, window coverings, etc. You should consider the add-on cost at the time of budget planning. Many extra expenses start creeping up ones you start the process, so it is always better to get a better understanding regarding the same. Make sure to choose the best builder and don't opt for cheap packages. So, check the fine lines before signing the contract.
There are legal fees associated with constructing a home. So, make sure to plan the money for spending land registration, lawyer fees, etc. A first-time home builder is always confused with the different charges and the rules, so it is always advised to check the internet or a financial advisor before planning to build your dream home.

Some weeks it's SUCH a chore coming up with healthy, easy meals that the whole family will love and won't take too long to prep or clean up afterwards.
I'm always on the lookout for fab meal ideas, these are my five faves right now:
Coconut Chicken Rice Paper Rolls
This is a delicious Donna Hay recipe, if your kids aren't quite up to eating rice paper rolls – you can simply serve a deconstructed version. I cannot wait to give this one a go, so fresh and delicious.
Prawn, Mango and Avocado Salad
When the weather starts to warm up, I love eating loads of fresh salads full of flavour – this one looks amazing and super simple.
Spicy Beef with Coriander Relish
YUM! This is one of my favourite Bill Granger recipes, it's so delicious and quick and easy to make as you marinate the beef and prepare the relish ahead of time. If you're making it for the whole family, you can simply serve the beef with brown rice and snow peas with perhaps a few cherry tomatoes for garnish for the little ones.
Steamed Salmon and Veggie Parcels – 4 Ways
I'm such a big fan of cooking as simply as possible, so your food tastes delicious, is jam packed full of nutrients – and if there's hardly any clean up afterwards – even better!
This is a Jamie Oliver recipe that my family love, it's so fresh and crunchy and tasty – I use a little less chilli for the girls, or prepare a deconstructed version.
This is my own version of Spanakopita, it's so yummy and I've had lots of blog friends make it and tell me they love it too! It's perfect for a busy week as you can make it ahead of time and even freeze it, then all you have to do at meal time is warm, smile and serve. Too easy! Best served with a Yummy Greek Salad.

Modern Times Forever is a film, a sculpture and a time machine. It is an invitation to experience the urban space and its power symbols, impacted at a disturbing pace.
The film is a portrait of the company Stora Enso's iconic building, one of the Finnish capital Helsinki's most important landmarks, designed by the famous Finnish architect Alvar Aalto. The film portrays what happens if we stop time and let the era of humanity end, after which we fast forward and let the building be affected by time alone.
The shifting seasons, years, decades and centuries start eating away at the building just like they do with the pyramids, the Acropolis and the post-industrial areas of Detroit. Through the decay image, the film touches upon topics such as climate change, urban planning, global economic challenges, fear and speculation. What will the building represent in thousands of years' time, and what is left both materially and in terms of ideology?
The entire process is filmed by a person with a handheld camera.
The film can be seen at Kongens Nytorv Metro station from Nov. 3 to Nov. 13 and is made by the Danish artists' collective SUPERFLEX.
The film lasts 10 days, 240 hours and begins and ends simultaneously with CPH:DOX.
Commissioned by IHME Contemporary Art Festival in Helsinki, Finland.

Explore America's Campgrounds
Fiberglass RVs have a protective barrier of hard resin polyurethane coating, known as gel coat, that protects the surface of your RV and provides the glossy appearance fiberglass is known for. Dirt and debris, sap and bugs, oxidation from acid rain and UV exposure can make your RV appear dull and dingy. A good cleaning before your next trip will restore the shine and seal the finish of your fiberglass motor home, tag-along or fifth wheel.
Items you will need
Rubber gloves
Cotton cloth
Fiberglass wax
Bug and tar remover
Liquid laundry detergent
Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK)
Step 1
Sweep the RV roof with a broom. Be careful not to sweep any dirt or leaves into the drain under any roof-mounted air conditioning equipment. Use a ladder to reach all areas of the roof and avoid damaging the roof's protective surface.
Step 2
Apply a bug and tar remover formulated for fiberglass to any of the areas affected by bugs, tree sap or white or black streaks caused by roof oxidation. Bug and tar removers safe for fiberglass can be purchased at any auto parts store or an RV supply warehouse.
Step 3
Wash the fiberglass with a sponge that has been dipped in a solution of 1 cup of liquid laundry detergent and 1 gallon of warm water. Start at the roof line. Re-wet the sponge often to avoid dirt transfer.
Step 4
Rinse the detergent off by spraying the RV with a garden hose. Allow the surface to dry naturally.
Step 5
Put on gloves. Dampen a cloth with MEK and wipe down the fiberglass with it. Start at the top and working down the sides. Reapply the MEK to your cloth as needed so that the solvent removes grease and oils. Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) can be purchased at a large home improvement store, RV supply store or any paint store that carries solvents.
Step 6
Apply a fiberglass wax by following the manufacturer's instructions. The wax will fill any microscopic pitting in the gel coat and restore the reflective surface.
- Always wear gloves when using MEK. It is a caustic solvent that can cause severe skin irritation.
- Waxing at least once a year will keep the gel coat surface strong and prolong the life of the fiberglass.
- If you RV needs restoring, use a fiberglass polish to remove a layer of the fiberglass and apply a rubbing compound with an electric buffer after completing the washing process.

A Little Thunder Pickups: Play Guitar and Bass Simultaneously
A few months ago, guitarist Andy Alt introduced a new electric guitar pickup—"A Little Thunder"—that allows guitarists to play guitar and bass simultaneously.
A Little Thunder, which was designed to replace a humbucker, adds a bass signal to the two lowest strings on electric guitars, leaving the signal of all six strings intact.
The addition of the bass feature requires no physical modifications: no drilling, routing or adding strings. Nor will guitarists need to replace 9-volt batteries or use MIDI. They just need to remove their existing humbucker, and with about five minutes of installation time they'll have the ability to push a button to activate A Little Thunder.
The three controls are on the custom-designed pickup ring: an on/off switch, a -1 or -2 octave switch and a polyphonic (two bass notes at once) or "low note priority" mode (The pickup detects the lowest note being played and applies the bass effect only to that note).
Because the technology is housed within the pickup, players will experience virtually no latency or tracking issues, which they might experience with external technologies, such as octave pedals.
Below, check out two demo videos for A Little Thunder. You can get even more information at alittlethunder.com. Note that visitors can save $30 on their order by entering code "alittlethunder30" at checkout. You also can follow along on Facebook.

Initial discussions were very comfortable and we were pleasantly surprised at the rates he quoted for his full service website design and migration to Google Apps. He was very patient with our micromanagement of the website design and was able to not only get it done in just a few days but also took time to give us tutorials (in person and via personalized videos he uploaded to youtube) to enable us to update the site on our own in the future.
I highly recommend Gary for your website design and/or migration needs, although you better act fast as he'll probably be the next Silicon Valley billionaire soon!

" Gary was of a key contributor to my online store project and what impressed me the most was his promptness, friendlines and professionalism. From the onset, he proved that he knew his stuf. He was keen to listen and even shared my excitement and egged me on at times. After I shared with him what I wished to do, he quickly reverted with a systematic proposal and included things that I didn't even think through before. This exemplified his thoughtfulness and knowledge!
Despite my numerous questions and requests, he handled them patiently and didn't once make me feel I was asking stupid questions though I know I was, on quite a few occasions.
I'm thankful for his willingness to share info and it's great he thought me the basics of photoshop, I can now create professional looking banners and collaterals on my own to support my overall branding strategy.
I would recommend Gary to anyone trying to create a website, you will be in great hands!"

" I am Gary's ex-school teacher, but now he has emerged as my teacher to guide my staff and me to set up my website on my own. I admire his great knowledge on internet. He is so brilliant that with his tips and advice, my website has notched up the position to be at the top when anyone tries to google the name of my company. That is amazing as mine used to rank way below. I heap praises for his great patience by sending tutorial steps to guide my staff and me whenever we get stuck as to what to do next. He should be highly sought after when you need someone to come up with solutions for internet problems. He is a fascinating whizkid."

"I live in the USA and I am the owner of a small web design company and needed a special component for one of my websites, MoosePermitSwap.com here in Maine, I contacted Teh Gary, of Gary Consulting Group, located in Singapore, to see if they could design a Joomla component for my website. I can personally attest for his teams professionalism and accuracy in creating the Joomla Component I needed for my website. My website needed a very specific registration component with Paypal integration. Teh Gary designed and worked with me by email, and in just a few short days, they had completed a very complex joomla component to achieve what my online business required. A simple install in the back end and I had just what I needed!
I create Joomla based websites for my clients and sometimes there are issues I can not resolve on my own. I used to have to manually enter user information into an "Article" using an html table, I had to manually register each user and provide a user name and log in manually, all to which took me a great deal of time for over 400 users in a two week period, the component that Gary Consulting Group developed for me was perfectly designed to my needs, my site is now 100% automated by the user when they pay for my website services! They even created a module that allows me to enter information manually when my users pay by telephone! Do not hesitate to use this company for all your Joomla designing needs, I know I will use them again for sure! Very reasonably priced too!

I must say that I was very impressed with the quality of work that Gary Consulting has produced. Their designers and consultants exhibited professionalism, competency, and dedication in what they were tasked to do. I provided them with a brief and some essential requirements that I expected of my company website. They not only met my objectives, but also provided very good hands-on training and instruction to my team such that we were equipped to further develop and embellish our company website on our own. This was very essential as we need to further develop the company website on our own as our business expands.I highly recommend Gary Consulting Group to any company who is looking for a professional and highly competent team to partner them in their website development.

Search Engine Optimization – A Deeper Look at SEO
While search engine optimization has been around almost as long as search engines themselves, it still remains a mysterious – if not unknown – topic to many business owners with a company website.
Everyone agrees that they would like to have their website show up at the top of Google, but few have any insight into what makes Google, Bing, or Yahoo choose the websites that are at the top of their search results. Fewer still, understand that there are different topics or keywords that a website can show up for and that showing up for one does not mean that the said website will show up for everything related to that site (although this could be achieved).
The good news is that the practice of search engine optimization is not a mystical art, but rather a combination of 'scientific' processes that, when put together correctly produces desired results, much like the parts of a clock that work together to keep the time.
In this section we will take a deeper dive into SEO and will address things like:
- What is SEO
- Benefits of SEO
- Link Building
- SEO Tips

WooCommerce is the most popular shopping cart system in the world. And yet, I don't think that title does WooCommerce justice because it's not just a shopping cart. WooCommerce is a full-featured eCommerce platform. Let me explain.
Unlike traditional shopping carts, WooCommerce does a whole lot more than sell physical products. You can use WooCommerce to sell anything from your website.
Here are the four categories of products and services you can sell with WooCommerce:
1. Sell physical products. Like any other web shopping cart, WooCommerce can be used to sell physical products online. WooCommerce will help you maintain your product catalog, price your products, manage order status, and calculate shipping and sales tax. You can even create coupons to offer customers incentive to buy from your store.
Those are all standard features of any shopping cart system. But WooCommerce is more flexible than other shopping carts.
If you have some special business requirement, there are hundreds of WooCommerce extensions to help you fine-tune your store without having to hire a programmer. Like WordPress itself, WooCommerce offers a solid core of features made even more valuable by an ecosystem of add-ons that provide the ultimate in flexibility and extensibility.
2. Sell digital products. In addition to physical products, WooCommerce can sell digital products. A digital product is anything that can be downloaded — from an ebook to a feature length film.
This is where things start to get interesting. Once you set up shop, WooCommerce runs the store for you: processing payments and providing customers with access to their purchases. WooCommerce also protects your download links, ensuring that only paying customers get access to your digital products.
3. Sell your time WooCommerce isn't just for traditional eCommerce merchants. Consultants and professionals can use it to sell their services online.
There are a couple of different ways to sell your time with WooCommerce. You can either sell your service as a product ("estate planning," for example), in which case you would charge a flat rate for the service offered. Or sell your time by the hour ("book 10 hours of my time @ $150/hour").
Either way, your service is just another WooCommerce product. The key difference is that you check the "virtual" box on the product setup page. That tells WooCommerce that the product isn't shippable.
One advantage of selling your time online is that you can offer your clients flexible payment options. For example, you can accept credit cards for immediate payment, or Cash On Delivery (COD) if you'd prefer to let your customers pay you when your service is rendered.
You don't even need a special extension to sell your services with WooCommerce. The free plugin supports virtual products out of the box.
With the WooCommerce Bookings extension, you can take things to the next level by letting your customers book specific blocks of time. This can also be used to reserve and charge for time-based resources (for example studio time, personal trainers, yoga lessons, or any resource that requires booking in advance).
4. Sell membership access to your website This is a great option for highly skilled professionals willing to share their specialized knowledge. If your website is packed with high-value content, a membership website can turn your readers into customers.
This is a slight twist on digital products. A membership system turns your website into a product. Depending on your business model, you can either charge a one-time fee or a recurring subscription. WooCommerce provides you with the flexibility to do either.
You'll need at least one commercial extensions to create your membership website with WooCommerce. Groups for WooCommerce is the easiest to setup. If you need more features consider using Membership for WooCommerce.
If you plan to offer subscriptions with recurring payments, you'll also need WooCommerce Subscriptions.
Of the four types product types sellable with WooCommerce, membership sites are the only one that requires at least one paid add-on. I should point out that nearly all WordPress membership plugins charge an annual fee for updates and support.
One advantage of WooCommerce is that it's flexible enough to support multiple product types on the same site (selling membership access and offering consulting packages, for example). That's not something that's easily accomplished with other plugins.
What Will You Sell with WooCommerce?
There are hundreds of WordPress eCommerce plugins to choose from, but only WooCommerce is powerful enough to support these four product types.
It is possible to sell anything from your WooCommerce website.

Healthy Home Harvest Kit Launches Indiegogo Campaign To Fight Hunger With Aquaponics
The Health Home Harvest Kit aims to help people produce their own vegetables, fish and other foodstuffs to sidestep the coming resource crisis, and requires crowd funding investors.
Beverly Hills, CA, United States of America - December 13th, 2013 /MarketersMedia/ -- With the population of the earth rapidly growing every day, scientists predict an imminent resource crisis in which humans tax the available resources of the earth to such an extent that many will not be able to be fed following current models. This has lead forward thinking individuals to look at new ways of effectively creating their own foods in sustainable ways. The Healthy Home Harvest Kit is a new Indiegogo Campaign that promises a healthy and ecologically sound means by which to produce not only vegetables, but fish and shrimp farms using aquaponics systems which, if funded, could change the way people create their food forever and help to fight global hunger.
The Healthy Home Harvest Kit promises to come in four sizes, the largest of which can create two hundred pounds of nutritional product a month, or 2,400 pounds per year. The kit will also come with a guide that describes everything people must do to maximize the efficiency of the kit, from system layouts and equipment checklists to construction, maintenance, growth and output instructions.
The Indiegogo Campaign promotes a wide variety of incentives to invest, including everything from bumper stickers to donating a virtual kit to a school, non-profit or charity, a real kit for the donator, a real kit for the donator and a good cause of their choice, plus multiples of the above to donate, give to friends, spread the word and promote the work.
A spokesperson for Healthy Home Harvest Kit explained, "We are facing an imminent resource crisis in which communities will no longer be able to rely on super-farms and agricultural industry for food, and will have to take on the responsibility of creating food for themselves. This need is already apparent in places of extreme poverty, and our kit provides a solution to both these challenges for today's and tomorrow's world. By donating to then campaign, people can help themselves and others create healthy food."
About Healthy Home Harvest Kit:
The Healthy Home Harvest Kit serves as an instructional resource for anyone looking for a no-details-spared, step-by-step guide to building, operating, and maintaining an aquaponics system scaled to suit users' needs, whether fighting global hunger or bringing healthy good to the local community.

Can Ryan Gosling do no wrong? Already named the coolest person of 2011, Gosling ups his awesome level in the latest video from Funny Or Die for their "Drunk History" series. This installment of the series features Allan McLeod, who drank half a bottle of whiskey, and then attempts to recite the holiday classic, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. The retelling of the tale turns out to be a tremendous challenge for McLeod, who stumbles with the poem, at one point saying, "The children were hung." PHOTOS: Ryan Gosling's Career in Pictures But it's no matter to Gosling, who stars in the skit. He and Eva Mendes start out snuggled warmly in bed, but then Gosling jumps out of bed when "such a clatter" arises. Gosling looks out the window to see Jim Carrey dressed as Santa riding on his sleigh. Carrey, who has already gotten plenty of experience playing The Grinch, makes a very jolly St. Nick, and uses his expressive eyebrows to their full potential. According to McLeod's retelling of the poem, "His cheeks were like jelly." VIDEO: THR's Awards Watch Actors Roundtable What else does this instant-holiday classic feature? Gosling's face lit by candlelight and Carrey's twinkling, blinking eyes. And puppies in reindeer antlers -- because what's more Christmas-y than that?

text: I began November killing two birds with one stone, time with my Mom watching the Alabama-LSU game and a site visit at a wonderful church in Birmingham. After loosing an hour on time change weekend I traveled back home to Tennessee to prepare for a wonderful time of ministry in Minneapolis with the Kidmin of the Assemblies of God in Minnesota. Julie and I got to spend several days with our dear friends Carl and Dee Dee Lindelien. I don't know when I enjoyed something more. It was a wonderful time of making new friendships and renewing old ones. We returned home so I could repack to head to Oklahoma. Julie and I celebrated 38 years of marriage this month. Another real treat was getting to celebrate Thanksgiving with Julie & Whitney, my Mom and my sister and niece and their families. Yancy and Cory and the boys went to Tulsa. Yancy kicked off a bunch of Christmas Concerts in November. A real highlight for me was getting to take Whitney with me to Charlie Daniels 80th Birthday Party and Volunteer Jam. We have so much to be thankful for, God has been so faithful to us.

Scientists highlight economic costs of ozone pollution
Low-level ozone concentrations are rising by 1-2% per year in the UK and are probably causing significant economic losses as well as damaging human health and sensitive ecosystems, according to a report by the Department of the Environment's Photochemical Oxidants Review Group (PORG). The report warns that current policies will not ensure that EC and World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines for ozone exposure are met. The group also suggests that official figures on emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) may be serious underestimates.

Liban Mohamed (Men's Basketball)
Checking in as the Huskies leading scorer this fall, averaging over 15 points a night, Mohamed served the east notice at the annual Holiday Classic last week. The 6'4" Toronto native averaged 28 points a game as George Brown went 2-1 against the best the east has to offer, shooting 31-for-66 from the field while going 17-for-42 from beyond the arc. Mohamed also did work on the glass, chipping in with a combined 21 rebounds from the wing. As 9-1 George Brown prepares to open the second half, Mohamed's performance against several of Ontario's top programs sets the stage as the Huskies battle for playoff position.
They will open the second half Friday, January 11 playing host to Centennial at Casa Loma Campus.
Robert Ocampo (Men's Basketball)
6'0" guard Robert Ocampo played his best basketball of the season over the break, closing the East/West Classic with 22 and 25 point performances in a pair of wins over Fanshawe and Sheridan. The Manila native was red-hot from the three-point line, going 4-for-9 against the Falcons and 6-for-12 against the Bruins. For all of George Brown's offensive success this fall, they have struggled at times from beyond the arc (26.7%). If Ocampo can continue his sharpshooting come winter it will add another dimension to an already dangerous, deep set of weapons.

How do we come to know what is truly essential in our lives, to the degree that the inessential is then allowed to fall away? How do we get rid of the detritus that is weighing us down? This can be a technical problem, like taking care of all the boxes of stuff crowding the house and our lives. Mostly, however, it is an issue of inner work. One doesn't know how to live without something, a comfort or prop in one's life, until one does.
It is the difference between wants and needs. I want to buy this thing in the moment of desire, or say that hurtful comment in the moment of knee jerk reaction, but I actually don't need to. We need basic, essential things, but we want the inessential. Want is hard to separate from desire, or it is the same thing. Desire can be god-given when we desire for better outcomes in our relationships, our work, or something like. And it can also be only the habit, the shadow trying to keep us locked down and unfree. Our wants when meshed with desire keeps us chained.
Needs can be pared down to pretty small and bare bones physically. Emotionally, they can be very hard to access. How do we know it when we are actually needing to be heard and seen in our closest relationship, around certain issues? We may only see our feelings of frustration and resentment, not knowing these feelings express an unmet need. Our cultural tendency is to place blame elsewhere – it is the other who causes my anger and frustration, and is the source of my resentment – rather than recognizing that we have an unexpressed need at the root of it.
I see this as an esoteric principle, where if we walk on the path of inner development as acolytes towards eventual enlightenment or well-earned wisdom (another way of putting it), then knowing what is the essential thing is all important as orientation, as a compass.
When we begin to ask ourselves what is essential to our current lives, we can be open therefore to what is weighing us down and is inessential; first, what is it not?
This principle can be applied in many different contexts, for instance:
- House clutter – brutal decisions around keeping only what we actually need, and the enormous feeling of release when we get rid of what we don't.
- Money – how and where do we tend to spend unconsciously and inessentially?
- Activities – is this activity serving me in the long term or is it out of habit and comfort?
- Relationships – am I serving the essential need, or am I too afraid to speak my truth?
- Business – can I see the essential tasks in front of me to do, or am I distracted by all the inessential details?
When we feel squeezed, pressured, out of control, or overwhelmed, these are all opportunities for separating out the essential form the inessential. Life in its infinite wisdom gives us these opportunities so we can learn this lesson as we walk on the path toward that well-earned wisdom.

There's no doubt that Ayrton Senna was one of the greatest racers ever. The three-time F1 champion was one of the most exciting drivers to watch any time he was on track.
In 1984, though, he was an unknown. Senna was a rookie with the Toleman team, and though he had some good drives, he was yet to really make an impact on the sport. Particularly because the Toleman car couldn't really compete on raw pace with any of the front running teams unless the weather was atrocious. Senna needed an equal car to prove just how talented he was.
And he got that at the redesigned Nuburgring in 1984, but that car was a Mercedes 190E.
To open the new track, a spec race was put together in 190Es with F1 stars and champions behind the wheel. It was not an easy group of drivers, as Senna had to compete agains the likes of Niki Lauda, Carlos Reutemann, and more.
His performance was amazing, and he won the race handily. John Surtees was so impressed that he wrote a letter to Enzo Ferrari, saying that he should hire the driver. He never did, as Senna went to Lotus and started sporadically winning before moving to McLaren and dominating the sport.

Anime based games typically share the same fate as games based on movies and comic books. There are a couple of stand-outs, sure, but for the most part they wind up feeling rushed, shallow, and overall give off the impression that they were made as a cheap cash-in.
And that's a shame, because there are a lot of anime out there that would be perfectly suited to make the crossover into the video game world, assuming of course that they had a talented developer and a proper budget.
