Well-rounded players make up 2014 All-County volleyball squad
This season was a highly competitive one for volleyball teams around Jackson County as was evidenced in particular by the Holton and Royal Valley squads finishing in the top three of the Big Seven League standings, which led to a lot of highlights.
Royal Valley had a lot of those this fall as the team recently capped an impressive run by claiming the first sub-state championship, first state trophy (third) and most wins (26) in the 41-year program history.
Both the Panthers and Wildcats also spent most of the season in the top 10 of the Kansas Volleyball Association rankings, with their spots mirroring their strong seasons.
Jackson Heights wasn't quite on the same level, especially after dealing with some early struggles, but the Cobras had some strong moments towards the end of the season, too.
While Royal Valley might have been the only state competitor this fall, there was still quite a talented pool of players to choose from for The Holton Recorder's All-County volleyball team and listed below are the players who made the cut.
Hannah Beam, RVHS, sr.— The Panthers achieved all they did this fall on the back of a total team effort, but Beam certainly helped stoke that collective fire and keep it burning.
As the go-to hitter, Beam came up big for Royal Valley time and time again over the season from key league matches to the sub-state tournament to 4A-DII state competition where she had a huge performance (15 kills, 12 digs, six blocks, three aces) in the final match of pool play to secure the Panthers' spot in the semifinals.
That kind of showing was routine for Beam as she rarely left the court for Royal Valley throughout the season and contributed in all areas on the floor, leading the team in kills (251) and finishing second in digs (265), third in aces (26) and fifth in blocks (62).
Beam was an All-League selection for the second time this season, picked for the All-State tournament team in Class 4A-DII and is making her second appearance on the All-County roster.
Hayley Thompson, HHS, jr.— Another big hitter who proved to be a rally-starter for her team, Thompson came up big for the Wildcats in her first full year of varsity action.
After getting glimpses of her strong attacking skills last year, especially towards the end of the season, Thompson had a breakout campaign in 2014. She led the team (and all county teams) with 268 kills this season.
Thompson's impact showed on the court as the offense wasn't quite the same when she was out of rotation. For her efforts, Thompson was named All-League in the Big Seven this year and is a first-time pick for the All-County squad.
Anna Johnson, RVHS, jr.— While not on the court as much as Beam, Johnson was another key starter that helped boost the Panthers at times this season.
A dominant presence in the middle, Johnson caused a lot of problems for opposing teams at the net this fall as she led her team (and the county) with 234 blocks in the 2014 campaign. She also contributed with 139 kills this season as well.
Johnson helped spark the Panthers' play at the net throughout the course of the season, including at the 4A-DII state tournament. She was selected to the All-State tournament team for her efforts and also earned honorable mention on the Big Seven All-League team. This is her first time being selected for the All-County team.
Sarah Beam, RVHS, so.— The younger of the Beam sisters was no less formidable on the court this season as she finished just behind Hannah with 223 kills this season.
While Hannah finished with more kills in the final tallies, Sarah had the advantage in force as she always seemed to add a little extra "oomph" on her kills and come up big down the stretch at times, including three straight kills in to end a must-win match against Holcomb during state competition.
Like her sister, Sarah also contributed all over the court and finished the season with 140 digs and 65 blocks as well. She was picked as an honorable mention for the Big Seven All-League team and is a repeat selection for the All-County squad.
Megan Rhule, HHS, jr.— Speaking of players who rarely left the court and did a little bit of everything for their teams, Rhule certainly fit that bill.
In a season in which the Wildcats were hit hard by illness and injury, Rhule was one of the few players to see the court in nearly every set and she had a hand in so much of what the offense did, leading Holton and the county with 570 assists this season.
Rhule was at home all over the court as she also finished with a team-high 62 aces, 86 kills, 28 blocks and 87 digs over the course of the season and proved to be a dynamic force that helped the Wildcats finish as runner-up in the Big Seven League. She was rewarded individually with All-League honors and is appearing on the All-County roster for the second straight year.
Jaycee Worrell, RVHS, sr.— Defensively, there were a lot of players who were required to cover a lot of ground for the county teams, but none did it better than Worrell this season, who led everyone with 456 digs.
The Panthers' libero was a player who coach Denise Visocsky noted as an impact player time and time again, because when her defense was on chances were Royal Valley was rolling.
Worrell kept several key rallies alive throughout the course of the season to help the Panthers in their record-setting campaign while she earned All-League honors herself and is back on the All-County team for the second consecutive year.
Mallory Fate, HHS, sr.— Another strong defensive player, Fate had to adapt to an even larger role when those injuries started to hit Holton. Fate went from being a defensive specialist to the starting libero fairly early in the season and she made the transition look smooth.
Having already contributed on the back row, Fate just made that much more of an impact at libero as she finished the season with a team-high 237 digs, helping the Wildcats to their 21-13 finish and earning a spot on the All-County roster for the first time.
Aidan Allen, JHHS, sr.— While the Cobras had some ups and downs through the course of the season, Allen was a constant on the court throughout the fall with key contributions all around.
Allen finished as the team leader in kills and was among the leaders in digs and blocks as well, helping the team to some strong moments towards the end of the season. She is being selected to the All-County team for the first time this season.
Caitlin Burns, RVHS, sr.— Filling in as the jack-of-all-trades for the Panthers, Burns helped the team in any way she could this fall and made contributions from both the front and the back row.
Burns finished third in both blocks (88) and digs (207), second in aces (28) and also had 54 kills on the season on the way to Royal Valley's third-place finish at state. She is a first time selection to the All-County squad.
Honorable mention selections for the All-County squad include Kate Hanson (RVHS), Ashley Cook (HHS), Erica Pruyser (RVHS), Hannah Williams (JHHS) and Tori Bontrager (HHS).

Stand Up Paddling, Foil, SUP Foiling, Foil Surfing, Wing Surf, Wing Surfing, Wing Foiling. This is your forum!
Thanks all for the comments and suggestions!! Pono and SurfC: Very much appreciate the observations/comments. They are duly noted and I'll try to to put them into practice!Bean: "Accelerator"?.....I think so - I definitely sense that the board speeds up as I move forward. Do tell if there's some secret sauce that I need to try to release! On another note, I was describing my East Coast (RI) surf location to Jimmy's son, Marlon, at the time of my B&B purchase and he reco'd the flat nose model vice the concave nose. I know the concave is supposed to provide a bit more lift and he could put his hands on one very easily and quickly but we both decided to wait for production of a flat nose, which I ended up with...and extremely happy with. I suspect I'm still at a level of not being able to tell the difference if I had both but I do think about how one performs as compared to the other(?) Anyone with firsthand knowledge?
If you make your first step forwards by pulling your front foot back, you'll both stall the board a little and make your first step forward a short one, which is easy to keep balance.

How to Write on the Go with Cloud Storage
Writing on the go is a favorite of many professional writers. Those who like to spice things up will know that the best way of doing that is to zone out in extremely hectic areas. That's why writing in a coffee shop is often very effective: your brain functions at peak efficiency once you get a change of scenery.
Yet, how does cloud storage come into play? Believe it or not, you need the cloud in order to write anytime, anywhere.
Spreading words upon a white canvas is far more complicated than some would think. You have to twist the phrases to best convey what your mind makes up. You have to keep in mind the reader, the writer, and, let's face it, Google as well.
Why not take your tablet out and go write in the coffee place downstairs?
Step 1: Always Save Your Files to the Cloud
There are a lot of cloud services for writers that work incredibly well. Browsing through these tools will help you find the right platform to suit your needs. Most of them have respective Android and iOS apps. All you have to do is install their desktop apps or use their online platform to save your articles to the cloud. And the best part is that you only need a free cloud storage account to do this.
–If you're going to use Dropbox. Dropbox is a very useful tool for writers. The track changes features makes it incredibly easy for the supervisor to see what team members are working on. Installing Dropbox is recommended since you will have instant access to it from your file explorer. Do this for all the devices you usually use for writing. You can read here a
–If you're going to use Google Drive. Google Drive is slightly friendlier for writers because you don't need absolutely anything else to continue your writing. You simply have to leave your files inside the Drive and you'll be able to edit the documents directly with the Google Drive document viewer.
–For any other clouds. If you're planning on using some different type of cloud storage service, such as OneDrive (another great free cloud storage service), it's advisable to make sure that your devices have the necessary app and that they can read the documents that you're using for writing.
Step 2: Writing on the Go
Now it's time for the actual writing process. For this you need to secure the following things:
-A good place to write. Find a spot where you think you'll be able to concentrate. The greatest advantage of using cloud storage when writing is the freedom it provides. Write from a coffee shop, a public library, a public park, or even from home.
-A small and easy-to-carry device. For this, you can use a small laptop, your MacBook, iPad or your Android tablet. We don't recommend writing on your phone. For professional writing, use professional tools.
-A really good keyboard. If you choose to work on an iPad or Android tablet, my personal favorite, you need to get a good compatible keyboard. You can choose whichever you want, as long as you make sure that it suits your writing style and your fingers.
-All the necessary apps up and running. Double check that you have the cloud storage app installed. The documents you work with on a daily basis should work properly. We recommend installing Microsoft Word for Android or iOS.
Step 3: Uploading to WordPress
What happens when you finish your post and you're still sitting so cozily in that armchair at the corner café, gently jiving to that background West-side jazz? You do need to post the article, but no worries! Here's how to make sure you don't have to get up from your chair (make sure you do this steps before you go out to write):
-Download the WordPress app. Yep! There's an app for everything these days. There are even two versions, for Android and for iOS respectively. Be sure to complete the installation properly.
-Add your blog to the app. This one's easy. If you already have your blog linked with your WordPress.com account, you should see it pop up on the screen of your tablet.
-Post your article. Now, we'll admit, editing your article prior to posting it is a bit more difficult on the mobile version of WordPress, but it will work. As long as your typical plugins are not too complicated, you should have no problem. Both All-in-One SEO and Yoast SEO work fine.
-Optimize your website for mobile devices. In order to see how your blog post looks, you need to have your device optimized for mobile devices. Check out how to do this over here.
Important: We don't recommend writing your post directly into the WordPress Android or iOS app. In fact, we strongly advise against this. Many reviewers have complained about losing everything they've written when the screen timed out. We don't have to tell you how frustrating this could be.
Do you like writing on the go? Now cloud storage can make your dream of keeping all your whimsical ideas alive! Never forget a brilliant line ever again. Pen it on a blank page and send it to the clouds!

Linkage: The Speech Gene and Lizard People
After a long layoff due to conference congestion, here's a new installment of Linkage, our semi-regular round-up of science news from around the world and web.
The "Speech Gene" Gains a Function
One of the more intriguing genes discovered since the flood of genetic sequences began to arrive at the beginning of this decade is FOXP2. Encoding for a humble transcription factor (sort of a DNA light switch), FOXP2 nevertheless gained lofty status when it was found in the late 1990's to be associated with human language – one of the most complex behaviors of all. Previously associated with speech and language disorders in humans, FOXP2 gained steam when a team of scientists (including University of Chicago professor of human genetics Molly Przeworski) compared our FOXP2 with our close primate relatives and found only two amino acids different between the human and chimpanzee versions of the gene. With only 715 amino acids total in the FOXP2 protein, that small difference suggests a recent evolution event, which that research group estimated at roughly 100,000 years ago – right around the time that "modern humans" appeared on the scene. This has led some to conclude that this fortuitous small change in the FOXP2 gene is one of the key moments in our evolutionary history that separated man from beast.
But what exactly does FOXP2 do, and how could such a minute change mean the difference between chimpanzee grunts and Shakespeare? One way to answer that question is to put the human version of the FOXP2 gene into another animal, an experiment that was published earlier this year by a very large team of German researchers. That mouse didn't suddenly start reciting soliloquies, but it did show differences in "ultrasonic vocalizations," as well as cellular changes in a part of the brain associated with movement – which makes sense given that FOXP2 is thought to mediate motions related to speaking. Still, changing just one gene to the "human version" in an animal and leaving all the other mouse genes intact would presumably limit the impact of the human FOXP2 gene in changing the mouse brain. (Jerry Coyne wrote about the media reaction to this paper here)
Thursday, another group got down to the dirty details of the human FOXP2 gene, examining how the protein it encodes is functionally different from the chimpanzee version. Despite the small changes (again, the two genes are only 0.2% different), the number of genes that respond in different ways to human vs. chimp FOXP2 is over 100, a dramatic change in function. Interestingly, the human FOXP2 gene actually changes the expression of fewer gene targets than the chimp version – another blow to the idea that complex behavior must result from greater numbers of genes (fruit flies have twice as many genes as humans, for instance). Many of the genes that FOXP2 turns on or off have to do, unsurprisingly, with the development of the brain. But as for how that combination of FOXP2-related genes work together to help humans talk where other animals cannot remains unanswered. Hence the conclusion of an accompanying commentary in Nature by Martin Dominguez and Pasko Rakic that the paper "does what important discoveries usually do: it answers many questions, but raises even more."
When Sleestaks Roamed the Earth
Lizard creatures are a fixture of science fiction from Land of the Lost to the recently-revived V miniseries to David Icke conspiracies. But until reading this post at Darren Naish's Tetrapod Zoology blog, I had no idea that upright lizards have actually been floated as a scientific theory of what dinosaurs might have evolved into had they not been wiped out 65 million years ago or evolved into birds. Okay, it's not really an accepted theory or anything – Naish, who studies the theropod dinosaurs that Canadian paleontologist Dale Russell based his intelligent "dinosauroid" thought experiment on in 1982, is clearly irritated by the premise. But the reason slightly disturbing upright humanoid dinosaurs are back in the blog conversation is because they were name-dropped by none other than Richard Dawkins in a recent Scientific American article about whether aliens would resemble humans.
Russell's basic idea (and again, this is all in the territory of what-if speculation), is that a dinosaur called a Troodon, with a brain six times larger than the average dinosaur, might have eventually developed a human-size brain if not for that whole extinction thing. Russell decided to estimate what a dinosaur with a human-size brain would look like, and came up with something that looked very similar to the denizen of many a sci-fi movie (pictured above). Since then, paleontologists have dismissed Russell's hypothetical "dinosauroid" as being much too human in shape, arguing that there's no reason "intelligence" would necessitate human-like features of standing upright and the lack of a tail or long, toothy snout.
On his blog, Naish points out that signs of intelligence have been observed in dinosaur descendants – we just know them as boring old birds. Birds such as parrots and crows can use tools, count and according to one recent paper, hold "funerals" for deceased relatives. Naish argues there's no reason why standing upright on two legs should be considered the "best shape" for an intelligent organism with a big brain, it's just the shape evolution happened to deal us. He also argues that Dawkins "should have known better" than to rely upon the poor, freakish dinosauroid even in the context of what is, for all intents and purposes, another scientific thought experiment. But I think it's a pretty interesting cautionary tale about the difficulty of trying to predict what path evolution might take and a reminder that similar circumstances won't necessarily produce similar creatures. Sorry, Sleestaks.

Plus for your band it guarantees that they will dedicate time to come see you perform and support you the night of the show.
We also offer a place online where fans can go and purchase tickets for your band, and we keep track of all door sales – that way you get paid for every person that comes to see your band play!

20% of ticket sales after 10*
30% of ticket sales after 10*, if you sell 30+*
40% of ticket sales after 10, if more than 75 ticket sales*

There is no fee what so ever if you don't sell a certain amount of the 50 tickets, but your outcome on ticket sales and musical performance will determine if we are able to book you for future shows and if we are able to give you an increase in pay for the future. In other words make it a goal to sell all 50 tickets, or at least give it 100% effort!

You can spot the four moons in modest binoculars, 7×50 or 10×50 being the best for this, and you'll even be able to watch them weave around the planet night by night. If you have a small telescope where you can increase the magnification depending on which eyepiece you use, you'll see the planet much more clearly and the moons will be more obvious.
Among the most interesting events to observe in the Solar System are the transits, occultations and shadow transits, where you can watch the shadow cast by a moon move across the surface of Jupiter's disc. This can be accompanied by the transit of the moon itself before, during or after the passing of the shadow. In order to see this well, you'll need at least a three-inch aperture (75mm) refractor telescope or a six-inch (150mm) reflector. A reasonable magnification of around 120x or even more is also required, as is a good quality eyepiece. Here, the Plössl design of eyepiece is good as it provides a nice wide and flat field of view with minimal distortions. Bear in mind that the quality of the atmosphere counts here too, so you may have to reduce the power if the air is particularly unstable causing a 'wobbly' image.
Longer focal length telescopes are better for planetary viewing, so this is where refracting telescopes also have an advantage, but again reflectors can also give you splendid views of the giant planet and its moons.

(Photos taken on the journey)
I travelled up to Sheffield to take my work down from the Blue Moon Café last Tuesday. Nothing had been sold I'm afraid to say, but when I called in to Cupola Gallery later on they said they still interested in representing my work, so at least that was positive. They particularly liked my lorry paintings too, which I was pleased about, as this is the current stuff.
I enjoyed a visit to the fantastic Graves Art Gallery whilst I was in the city, which had an exceptional painting collection. I took a lot of inspiration from it, finding it good soul food in that way that only painting can provide for me. I couldn't take my paintings down from the café until three in the afternoon when it was quieter, so I had a late lunch there and a final opportunity to view my paintings before I took them off the walls. I was pleased with how they looked, but on observing everyone in the café I was struck by how not one person seemed to notice that they were there as they ate and conversed. I've been glad of the opportunity presented by Cupola, but it felt problematic experiencing my work like this.
I left feeling a bit flat about it all, and tired from the journey and events of the last few months. I was glad to have my paintings back with me. They sort of feel like old friends sometimes. They go up again at Artrix Arts Centre on January 4th in my first exhibition of the New Year. It feels a bit like Bob Dylan's Never Ending Tour sometimes, only he manages to get a bit more interest than me.
As I joined the M1 south back to Birmingham, I put Beirut's 'Realpeople Holland' album on the car stereo. 'My Night With The Prostitute From Marseille' and the other, lovely in their synthesizer melancholy, songs always cheer me up…

Fundraising via qualified institutional placement at lowest in four yearsTuesday, March 21, 2017
New Delhi, March 21 -- The qualified institutional placement (QIP) route for raising funds has lost its attraction. In fiscal year 2017, until February, 19 companies garnered funds to the tune of Rs8,337 crore via QIPs, shows data from primary market tracker Prime Database. QIP is an instrument through which listed companies can raise capital by issuing equity shares, fully and partly convertible debentures, or any securities other than convertible warrants, to a qualified institutional buyer. Despite it being a faster and time-saving option, as the chart shows, money raised through QIPs has declined significantly from the peak seen in 2009-10. Money raised using this tool in FY17 so far is the lowest since 2012-13. Why the slowdown in raising funds through the QIP route? Foreign institutional investors' participation in FY17 has been subdued and it is only recently that they have started to make a comeback. Ambiguity about the impact of demonetization led to volatility in the stock market, which kept companies away from raising funds via QIPs, fearing that they might not find enough takers, said some market analysts. Despite this, 24 companies have raised more than Rs25,000 crore via initial public offerings (IPOs) in FY17 so far. "If we draw a comparison between funds raised through QIPs and IPOs, then one would find that while on an overall basis money raised through IPOs has been large, not much of it is fresh capital for expansion; most companies have done IPOs as an offer for sale (OFS), giving existing shareholders a route to dilute their holdings," said Pranav Haldea, managing director at Prime Database. Also, there is still excess capacity in the system and a substantial revival in demand is yet to happen, hence it should be noted that a couple of companies that raised funds via QIPs in this fiscal year did so largely with the aim of reducing debt. The latest one is Reliance Infrastructure Ltd; it is looking to raise Rs2,000 crore that would partly be used for debt reduction. More companies tend to opt for QIPs in a bull market, hoping to find many buyers. Though the Indian stock market is currently rallying, valuations appear rich given that corporate earnings haven't been impressive. In such a scenario, it would be difficult to find investors willing to bet on those listed companies scouting for funds to repay debt.

It was a tough day at the office for a very young United side that came up against a strong Bolton team that were in fine form.
Braces from Luca Navarro and Mason Birch saw the Trotters to all three points on Saturday.
Inside the opening 10 minutes Bolton found themselves ahead as NAVARRO was played in behind and his low shot found the bottom corner from just inside the area.
United would remain competitive throughout the first-half but were dealt a double blow shortly before the break as BIRCH scored twice in as many minutes with a pair of close range finishes putting the hosts in control.
The second-half saw the Blades push forward to try and get themselves back in the game but were reduced to long range efforts by a compact Bolton side.
Wanderers would finish the scoring with 20 minutes to go as NAVARRO picked up the ball and curled into the top corner from the edge of the area.
Blades: Dewhurst, Portman, Foulstone, Williams, Gordon (Belehouan 80), Neal, Broadbent, Ackroyd (J. Kelly 80), Potts, Oure, Joash (Capello 45).
Unused: S. Kelly.

Westchester Broadway Theatres CAMELOTPublished: Friday, February 13, 2015 By: Camille Kaiser Source: The Cue
The exquisite set design (Kyle Dixon) and creative lighting (Andrew Gmoser) quickly transport the audience to King Arthur's enchanted empire.
Clark Scott Carmichael as King Arthur projects youthful charm as the reluctant groom in an arranged marriage ("I Wonder What the King is Doing Tonight") as does Jennifer Hope Wills as the beautiful, innocent Guenevere, the equally reluctant bride ("The Simple Joys of Maidenhood"). Merlyn the Magician (well played by Martin Van Treuren) persuades the King to accept his new bride and Guenevere is quickly charmed by King Arthur. The opening scene is not only musically exceptional but the clever dialogue is exquisitely and timely delivered by all, immediately captivating the audience.
Lancelot (well played by Jeremiah James) arrives seeking to join King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table, as he believes himself to be the bravest knight in the world ("C'est Moi"). Lancelot soon makes enemies of most of the knights, and they challenge him to a cleverly choreographed duel ("The Jousts"). He defeats them all and wins the crowd as well as Guinevere ("Before I Gaze at You Again"). And as we all know -- the plot thickens!
Director, Richard Sabellico, assembled a perfect cast who flawlessly executed his cleverly stylized version of Camelot. All the performers clearly defined their roles and performed them honestly. Martin Van Treuren as King Pellinore is, of course, the show stealer, keeping the audience laughing with his expert comedic timing and delivery.
The ensemble does justice to Mr. Sabellico's remarkable choreography and makes the company numbers ("The Lusty Month of May", "You May Take Me to the Fair", "Fie on Goodness" ) visual as well as vocal delights. Kudos to musical director, Ryan Edward Wise and costumer Janelle Berte whose expertise greatly contributed to the success of this exceptional production.
"Camelot" continues through April 5th. For reservations, call (914) 592-2222. Don't miss it. It's a great way to shake off the Winter doldrums!

Svitzer orders two more Damen ASD tugsWritten by Nick Blenkey
JUNE 29, 2015 — Towage and emergency response specialist Svitzer has ordered two more Damen ASD 3212 tugs with 80 tonnes bollard pull performance.
They are being built at Damen's Song Cam shipyard in Vietnam and will be delivered to Svitzer UK in October 2015 for its escort and towing operations on the Thames and Felixstowe..
The 32 m x 12.2 m ASD tugs are designed for push-pull, escorting, towing and fire-fighting operations. They have a speed of 14 knots and each isequipped with two Caterpillar 3516C HD TA/D engines with a total power of 5,050 bkW at 1,800 rpm.
Svitzer specializes in escorting large vessels − tankers, cruise ships, bulk containers and containerships.
Damen Sales Manager Martijn Smit says the ASD tugboats are extremely suitable for handling large vessels.
"Being able to change pitch and power during operation allows smooth and superior maneuverability of these big vessels," he says.
The tugs have 2,800 mm controllable-pitch propellers in combination with special render recovery winches with a 200 tonne break, render 100 tonnes at 100m/min and 60 tonnes at 50m/min at second layer, while normal mode pull is 60 tonnes at 20m/min.
"Damen is happy to be able to provide Svitzer with the standardised fit-for-purpose tugboats and fast turnaround they are looking for. Over the past couple of years, Svitzer UK has increased its Damen tugboat orders. We have a long history of fruitful collaboration," says Mr. Smit.
Svitzer UK ordered its first ASD 3212 tug in 2014; a model outfitted with a fixed-pitch propeller in combination with a forward winch. Svitzer UK's tug fleet now totals 21 Damen tugs including the three ASD 3212 vessels.

The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake. ~ Meister Eckhart
A mystic theologian seems a rather odd person to quote for a project management blog. Especially a philosopher/theologian who lived before the Reformation of the 16th century and the Enlightenment a century or two later, when Rational Thinking became central to work and life.

Did Kris Humphries get a girl pregnant?
HollywoodNews.com: Kim Kardashian may be getting some news that could help her divorce case if the rumors about Kris Humphries are true.
It is now rumored that the girl Humphries was linked to after his split with Kim, Myla Sinanaj, is pregnant with his child, states TMZ. She is allegedly about three months along and claims it is definitely Humphries' child.
Sinanaj allegedly plans to raise the child alone as things have reportedly been bad with Humphries since he claimed there wasn't much of a relationship.
If there is a baby and it's his, it will likely be used in divorce proceedings as he claimed he was heartbroken after Kardashian split with him.
Do you think she's pregnant with his child?

As a San Antonio DWI lawyer, and Austin DWI lawyer, I am often asked questions in social settings about DUI myths. This page will list some of the ones I hear most often. If you have heard some DUI myths that you'd like an answer to, post it on our Facebook page and we will answer it for you. If you are in need of a DWI lawyer Austin, or San Antonio, contact us right now for a free, no obligation case review.
1. Putting a penny in your mouth will beat a DWI breath machine. This is not true. The officer should make sure that you do not have anything in your mouth before you take a breath machine, but placing a penny in your mouth will not help you test under .08 BAC.
2. Breathing through your nose will help you beat a DWI. Some people believe that inhaling through your nose will help you beat a DWI. This simply is not true. The air you exhale still comes from your lungs. Therefore, the machine will measure the air being expelled from your lungs, not the air inhaled through your nose.
3. If you test under .08 BAC on the breath machine you will not be charged with DWI. This is not true. If you test .08 the State is allowed to presume you are intoxicated. You may be charged with DWI without any alcohol in your system at all. For more about how you can be charged with DWI without having consumed any alcohol read our DRE page…
4. Drinking coffee will make you sober. Drinking coffee will not reduce your blood alcohol content. The only thing that will reduce your blood alcohol content is time. It takes your body time to process any alcohol that enters your body. While there are ways to slow down how quickly your body processes alcohol, there is no way to speed up how quickly it does so.
5. If I refuse to give a breath sample the police cannot find out my blood alcohol content. If you refuse to give a breath sample the police may file a warrant application with a judge or magistrate to draw your blood. If the judge issues a warrant for your blood and you still refuse, the police can hold you down and forcibly take your blood against your will. To learn how to handle a blood warrant read this page.
6. I was stopped on private property so cannot be convicted of a DWI. This is simply not true. You can be convicted of DWI regardless of where you operated a vehicle.
7. I wasn't driving; I was parked. If your vehicle is running you may be convicted of DWI regardless of whether it was actually in motion at the time the police approached you.
8. I was only driving because my passenger was more drunk than me. Sometimes people will drive because they think the other person they are with was too drunk to drive. The law does not allow an exception for the "least intoxicated person." If you are .08 or higher you will be charged with a DWI regardless of how high your passenger tested.
9. I don't have a Texas driver's license so they can't suspend my driving privileges. This is false. In fact, if you have a license from another state and are charged with a Texas DWI your driving privileges will likely be suspended or revoked in both your home state and Texas. Read our Texas DWI Driver's License page for more information…
10. The police didn't read me the Miranda Warning before asking me whether I had been drinking. Read our Field Sobriety Page for more about What to Do If Pulled Over.
If you find yourself in need of a San Antonio DWI lawyer, or Austin DWI lawyer, contact our office for a free, no obligation consultation. We will listen to your side of what happened, and explain to you the challenges and opportunities you have in your case. If you like this DUI myths page, please share it on Facebook or Twitter.

DOUGLAS SMITH | Writing the Fantastic
Krista D. Ball interviews me on her site today about writing and marketing short fiction, including the following:
Read the interview here.
I'll be appearing at the main branch of the Guelph Public Library on September 21 at 7pm, to repeat the workshop on marketing short fiction that I gave with On Spec's Diane Walton this past May out in Edmonton. This workshop will be the first in a new series that Kevin Nunn has added to the Sound of Writing reading series. Readings and workshops will alternate on a monthly basis going forward, if all works out as Kevin hopes. Here's a link to the public Facebook event page.
I'm planning to cover the same topics as in the Edmonton workshop, but this time, unfortunately without the editor's perspective that Diane provided. Here's the outline:

A Conversation for The Ultimate Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster Recipe Guide.
==Prophet Zarquon's Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster==

--==++**Well, some of those recipes look interesting. Others look absolutely terrible.**++==--
When ==DNA== died, I felt that we here on Earth needed a suitably powerful drink to mourn his passing properly. Thus, I sat down at my Sub-Etha terminal and proceeded to pour over every PGGB recipe I could find.
After several days, about a thousand dollars worth of liquor, and more than six shirts, I finally realized that every recipe I found was one of the following:
1) Almost, but not quite, completely unlike having your brain smashed out by a lemon wedge wrapped 'round a large gold brick.
2) Vomit inducing to the point of being undrinkable after two or three.
3) Too complicated, or conversely, oversimplified.
Thus I set out to create my own recipe and here's what I've come up with. I won't include the full print-out because I was drunk at the time, used some bad math, and also stated unequivocally that it could be mixed in several manners which in retrospect are both unwise and unfavorable. An edited version, complete with illustrations, corrected alcohol content ratings, and appropriate health warnings may become available sometime in the next three thousand years.
So here then, is the highly abridged, Americanized, imminently mixable, ever popular at parties, much requested and seldom remembered ==**Prophet Zarquon Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster Recipe**==:
Prepare a large bottle, usually about 1 liter (Keeping it pre-mixed is a good idea, because after participating in a few rounds, the bartender usually isn't fit to handle icy bottles and tiny glasses, much less careful measurements and long division).
==Chill all your liquor==. This will help mask the rocket fuel odor and you may actually be able to get people to try one if you don't tell them what's in it first.
**6** parts ==Absolut Citron== (Overpriced lemon vodka, *NOT* ORANGE or "Citrus")
**1** part ==Bacardi 151== (Use only 151 proof rum, others are too dark and will result in a foul tasting drink lacking the proper variety of tongue pain)
**1** part ==Goldschlager== (For the gold flakes: I hate cinnamon schnapps, but the end result is worth it)
**1** part ==Everclear== (Yes, you have too: It keeps the Goldschlager from seperating in the freezer and makes sure that the gold arrives at your brain in brick form)
You can **skimp or add** a bit on the Goldschlager to taste, but ==always match with an equal amount of Everclear==.
The 151 was originally added for tint, so ==you should be looking for a barely visible golden color==, lighter than Corona but dark enough to see the difference between the mix and the Vodka.
Shake well and ==always serve chilled==. Garnish with lemon wedge (Eating the lemon wedge directly after the shot will help cut the burn for those less initiated in the ways of hard liquor).
You can mix it into Jello Shots (we call this ==Sepachol== Jello Shots, because it tastes like lemon flavored cough medicine and leaves your mouth tasting like fresh mouthwash), just be sure not to heat the liquor. These are a favorite at my parent's twice annual Solstice parties.
It makes excellent Hard Lemonade. Much stronger than store-bought "Hard Lemonade" and about a thousand times easier to drink than the straight shots.
If you can find it, you can make a Hot Toddy with ==Celestial Seasonings== ==**Red Zinger**==. **BEWARE**: Do NOT use ==Lemon Zinger==. I tried this once a few years ago and I can still taste it whenever I smell ==Lemon Pledge==.
That's about it! Feel free to experiment with the ratios to find your favorite flavor. Ideally, you should be able to taste the sweet schnapps at the tip of your tongue, the lemon vodka at the sides of your mouth, the 151 at the back of your throat, and the Everclear everywhere within a ten foot radius.
If the first batch doesn't come out right, dump it in some lemonade and try again. You'll know when it's right, because the first shot will make you say =="FREOW! Pour me another"==.
**NOTE**: Here in ==Denver== and ==Boulder== ==Colorado==, there is a small, but growing number of bars that serve this drink. It usually costs about 7 dollars. 9 if you have to explain it.
PS: ==Do not serve over ice.== That's just wrong.
**Share And Enjoy!**

Sometimes keeping hold of love is just as hard as finding it.
Sometimes keeping hold of love is just as hard as finding it.
Dan and Iestyn are looking for romance. A school trip, a love of history, a wedding, a tango, the game of chess, and their friends and family all help the two men to realize that they've finally found true love with each other.
Iestyn thinks that he's completely ordinary and that Dan is the only out and currently gay rugby player anywhere. Being gay can be difficult enough. Being famous also has its problems. But being gay, famous and a sportsman can make finding love complicated. So when Dan Morgan meets Iestyn Jones and gives him his phone number, their road ahead has more than a few bumps to overcome.
Will Iestyn and Dan overcome the obstacles thrown in their paths? Or will fame destroy their lives as well as their love?

Oh hell!
His arse hit the ice.
This was going to be so embarrassing.
He really should have looked where he was going and taken more care. It wasn't that he meant to show off in front of the kids when they'd goaded him into demonstrating how he could skate backward. But that was how he found himself crashing into another body, a rather large male body, then scrabbling, unsuccessfully, to try to get himself up as he apologised. Iestyn heard the kids laughing. How the hell was he going to get up and retain some sort of dignity? Whose bloody idea had it been to come on this skating trip from school, and why had he volunteered to go? He heard a voice—a rather gorgeous lyrical voice—say something, but he wasn't sure what. He found himself looking up into the face of the most handsome man he'd ever seen.
"Would you like some help getting up?" the vision said, holding out a hand.
Iestyn took the help offered and let the good-looking stranger pull him to his feet. He was shocked to find, when he'd stood up, that the man appeared to be significantly taller than his own nearly six feet.
"Thanks," he said, brushing the ice from his trousers. He glanced over to find the kids staring at him. "What? You've seen a man fall over before, haven't you? Even a teacher."
But they just kept on staring at the man who had helped him up.
"Sorry about that lot. Honestly, you can't take them anywhere, and thanks for hauling me up. I'm not very good at this lark, really." He didn't want to stare but he couldn't resist looking the man up and down. His rescuer was impressively built with blue eyes and blond hair that seemed determined to defy any sort of styling.
"Yeah, that much is obvious but don't worry. I can cope with men falling at my feet. I get it a lot, though usually it's because they've just missed tackling me. The blond, godlike creature held out his hand. "Sorry. It's not often that I have to introduce myself. My name is Dan Morgan."
"Ah, judging from the reaction of the kids, I should have heard of you."
A smaller man, who was standing behind them, sniggered at his comment.
One of the boys rushed forward. "Can I have your autograph, Dan?" he asked.
The other kids came forward too, offering whatever they could find for him to sign.
"You don't have any idea who I am, do you?" the younger man said as he signed the autographs.
"No, sorry. I don't, but obviously the kids do, so you're either some sort of pop star or, from what you've said, a sportsman. I'm guessing rugby."
Josh, a character in Iestyn's form, stepped forward. "Take no notice of Mr Jones. The only game he plays is chess. He wouldn't know one end of a rugby ball from the other."
"Well, to be fair, they are actually pretty similar," Dan replied.
Iestyn frowned at Josh, not for the first time, then looked back at Dan. "So you play rugby then, and I should know this because?"
"Bloody hell, sir. Sorry, but he's Dan Morgan." Now it was Josh's turn to frown. "He plays for Glamorgan Giants and Wales. Most experts reckon that he's going to be Welsh captain for the Six Nations. Call yourself Welsh, sir!"
"Actually, that's rather a moot point. I may be called Jones but I wasn't born in Wales, despite my father's best efforts. I was born in the Highlands of Scotland, because we were on holiday and I came earlier than expected. My dad was gutted, I can tell you."
"Sounds like an interesting story," Dan said. "Perhaps you'd like to tell it to me sometime soon, maybe over dinner."
Iestyn Jones blinked a few times and wondered if he'd heard right. Had this guy just asked him out? Dan had to be at least ten years younger than him, not to mention six inches taller.
Dan passed him a card that said "Ring me" and gave a number. He smiled and walked back to greet his friend who had been standing some distance away. Watching him go, Iestyn held onto the card and twirled it in his fingers, not sure how to react to this strange development.
"You're in there, sir," he heard a familiar voice say.
"Shut up, Josh. Come on. I see Miss Jenkins over there tapping her watch. It's time we weren't here."
"But, sir, he's gay and you're gay," Josh persisted.
"Really?" He shouldn't have been surprised. His gaydar was normally useless. "Never mind that. I don't need a matchmaker, thank you." That he was gay was no secret to the kids or to any of the other staff.
His best friend Julie Jenkins came towards him. "Is it right what the kids have just told me? Have you just been asked out by Dan Morgan? My God, he's gorgeous. I can't tell you how many women would like a piece of him."
"Well," Iestyn said, grinning widely. "It seems that Dan Morgan wants a piece of me."
"So are you going to ring him, then?" Julie asked that night.
Julie was Iestyn's oldest friend. They'd lived on the same street and gone to the same schools. However, their choice of university had parted them and Julie had gone off and got married. It had lasted all of three years before she had returned home. Now Julie taught music at two schools on a part-time basis.
It was Friday, so tradition had it that their group went out, had a few drinks, then went to one home or another for takeaway curry, pizza, or Chinese. There were six of them in their little group—Iestyn and Julie, along with Matt who taught PE, Sian who taught art, and Gareth, who had claimed to teach science—however, not everyone had been convinced of that. He'd since trained as a plumber, having found that teaching was not for him. These days they were lucky to get him out on a Friday as 'time was money'. Still, it was nice to have a tame plumber on call.
Lastly, there was Kate, who taught a variety of subjects that ended in 'ology'. Most people who saw them all together assumed that they were three couples, which wasn't the case.
Except for Julie, they had all started teaching at the school at the same time and had become friends. As they were all sad and single, as Gareth often described them, they had developed the habit of going out on Friday nights. Of course, nothing was ever that simple about the group dynamic. Julie fancied Matt, who was completely oblivious—or appeared to be. Sian fancied Kate but said nothing. Iestyn thought both the other men were handsome but as both appeared to be straight—other than the occasional drunken snog—he kept on looking elsewhere. Now he had Dan's phone number.
As soon as he'd got home that night, he'd Googled Dan Morgan. Iestyn had to admit that the guy looked great in shorts. Those thighs and shoulders were impressive, and he even looked good in a suit. There were several photos of him receiving prizes for being the young Welsh player of the year. The stories mentioned Dan's apparently now ex-boyfriend Aron Roberts. Iestyn noted that they'd been together since high school, but there was no official announcement of why they were no longer a couple.
He disliked uncertainties and he wasn't about to step on anyone's toes. He knew he was an old-fashioned romantic but he didn't like to share and he'd never really been into one-night stands. Well, not often, especially after the embarrassing incident in the bus shelter all those years ago. He'd managed to get to the age of thirty-four and had slept with fewer than ten people, although 'slept with' was pushing it for some of them. He'd had two long-term boyfriends but no one else since he'd had his heart broken by Steve.
He couldn't understand why the handsome rugby international star should have given him his phone number.
"Are you ever going to answer me, or are you already imagining what he could be doing with you?" Julie continued.
"Sorry," Iestyn replied. "I was just thinking."
"Yeah, we can imagine," Gareth commented. "He's a big lad. Are you sure you can handle him?" He laughed at his own innuendo.
"God, he wishes," Matt added. "He really is a fantastic player and he should be Welsh captain soon. Some people think he might be made captain for the Six Nations. Hey, if you get to shag him, d'you think you could get him to come to the school to talk to my boys? A local lad who made good always helps inspire them."
"Hmm, I haven't even decided if I'm going to ring him yet. From what I've read, he had a long-term boyfriend. They could get back together again. Perhaps this Dan is trying to make him jealous, and I'm not that sort of bloke."
"Looked him up, then," Sian said, smiling.
"Well, yeah, it's not every day that a bloke ten years younger and six inches taller, with more than enough muscles to spare and a great arse, gives you his number. I'm knackered, not bloody dead. Well, not quite."
"Him and his boyfriend split up a while back, according to the gossip columns," Sian continued. "The boyfriend went to America to work and there's no rugby there so…"
"Therefore, I repeat my question," said Julie. "Are you going to ring him? He obviously wants you to. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given you his number."
"But why would he give Iestyn his number? Sorry, I know you're my friend, but let's face it—you're a nerd and a geek. You're hardly love's young dream, are you?" Gareth, as always, said what others just thought. "And the man is fit. Whereas you consider table tennis to be active. I don't get it. What could he possibly have in common with you?"
"Yeah, I suppose you've got the advantage of height, but you're out of condition and you could do with losing a few pounds," Matt added.
"Not to mention your hair is beginning to recede and you're as blind as a bat without those glasses. Why you don't wear contacts, I don't know," Julie finished.
"Okay, anything else before I go home and put a bag over my head? So far I'm fat, geeky and myopic, but I am six foot so that makes up for it."
"Actually, you do scrub up well, when you try. I'll give you some exercises that'll tone you up. Perhaps you can start coming to the gym with me. Tell you what, why don't you join me tomorrow?" Matt said.
"Suddenly, I'm really hungry. Think we can forgo the karaoke tonight? So what are we having and where are we going to eat?" Iestyn said.
"It's my turn," Kate replied. "So let's have Chinese and pick up some more to drink. You'll have something to work off in the morning, then."
"Sounds good to me. Chinese is always better when there are lots of us as we can eat each other's. Drink up and we can get going."

Simply put, Green Building makes sense from both an environmental and economic standpoint. While reducing our carbon footprint has a societal benefit, individuals, companies and other entities benefit greatly, due to lower energy consumption and expense.
Metal is widely recognized as a building material that offers many Green Building benefits, including:
To a building owner, energy represents the single largest controllable operating expense. (source: Building Owners and Managers Association) Most of this energy is used for heating, air conditioning, lighting, heating water, computers and entertainment. A building's roof can be the least energy efficient component of a building envelope. Combining these facts with the reality of increasing energy prices, it is no wonder that conservation measures and improved energy efficiency are becoming popular and important aspects of Green Building Design.
Energy codes and standards are another driving force behind the growth of Green Building. Codes are becoming more stringent and provisions for cool roofing are now commonplace. Even individual state and local governments are beginning to require that public building construction exceeds certain sustainability standards.
Cool metal roofs reflect the sun's energy away from the roof, and subsequently the building interior, resulting in a significant reduction in energy use. Utility companies have become interested in cool metal roofing because it can help to reduce the peak demand in electricity during the afternoon hours in summer months, which prevents power disruptions. From an environmental point of view, cool metal roofing can also help to mitigate a phenomenon known as the "heat island effect", where urban areas experience higher air temperatures due to the abundance of non-reflective construction products and less vegetation.
Metal Roofing and Solar
Metal roofing is really the logical choice for solar integration. Metal roofs offer a decades-long service life, so there is little risk the solar panels will outlive the service life of the metal roofing. Additionally, both thin-film and crystalline solar modules can be attached directly to metal roofing without any perforations penetrating the roof. Roof penetrations can be a source for future leaks, so avoiding them is a sound building practice.
Thin-film solar panels can be applied directly to select McElroy Metal standing seam products, such as Medallion-Lok, Maxima and 238T. Because the solar panels are attached directly to the roofing material, this technology is referred to as Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV). Some of the advantages of thin-film Solar panels include lightweight, ease of installation and aesthetics. Thin-film solar panels can be jobsite or warehouse applied by solar integrators or roofing contractors that perform solar work.
Crystalline panels are manufactured with highly efficient crystalline silicon. Panels are attached to McElroy Metal standing seam products utilizing S-5! Clamps. The main advantage of crystalline solar panels is greater efficiency and power generation.

PADS stands apart from the crowd, with a level superior to that found in the real estate market, from their website to the team of people that accompanied us through the process. I felt that they were always there to hear my concerns and give me answers. You are a great team and i wish you every success with PADS.
PADS is quite simply spectacular. The professionalism, their knowledge of the city and the ability to put themselves in the clients' shoes is something that only PADS has been able to offer.
I'm very pleased with the way the deal was managed and with the support i received from the PADS team. Should I need to sell another property in the future I won't even bother calling the other agencies and instead will go directly to PADS.

I would like to introduce another brand today!
They are a brand that mainly specializes in formal wear for children.
How incredibly cute is that!
They also make clothes in larger sizes, ie. 150-170cm in height.
Like the below!
Oh my gosh, sailor dresses!!!
I think these are fine if you are short (like me) and also have no boobs (like me!).
I'm not sure if I should happy or sad about that, haha.
However! They also have a small selection of adult clothes including shoes.
Today, I'd like to review 2 pairs of shoes I bought!
First off!
I got the pink ribbon shoes below which cost 6,362yen.
Don't they just look like the epitome of girlyness???
Here's how they look in real!
And up close!
And from the side.
The buckles are heart shaped too!
These shoes are made in Japan.
They are a made from a soft synthetic leather and there is some give in the material even at the toes.
I really like the little ruffles that they added as it's an extra detail that really makes the shoe unique!
The shoes aren't entirely well cushioned, but I think I'm used to this with a lot of fashion shoes. I typically add my own shoe pads anyways.
Compared to my Taobao ribbon shoes and Bodyline shoes, I think that these shoes are far more superior.
I found those shoes to be lacking details like ruffles and generally a lot less comfortable.
A lot of girls love to go to Bodyline for shoes. But my gripe about them is the shoes often look really plastic-y like made for dolls!
So I don't like their shoes too much.
I do have one problem with these Catherine Cottage shoes though.
For some reason they do not produce size 235.
I typically waver between size 230 or 235.
As I didn't really want to buy shoes that are too small, I opted for size 240 which is toooo big and have to be worn with a couple of shoe pads and socks!
On to the next pair of shoes!
These shoes cost 6276 yen.
Front of the shoes!
The color of from the stock picture is more correct than what I have pictured here.
Side view.
Like the pink shoes, they are made in Japan. Also made from a soft synthetic leather.
My only disappointment about these shoes is the front frilly design is made from ribbon.
I sure hope that holds up especially in the icky rain of Ireland.
The bows on the shoes are attached with a clip so they can be adjusted to be placed somewhere else which is nice.
These shoes also do not come in size 235. Other than that, I would say the quality of the shoes is the same as the pink ones.
I know Bodyline produces very similar shoes to these for half the price, but I still think they look a lot more plastic.
I also prefer less straps and a little heel so the shoes can be worn with classic and sweet lolita styles.
I'd like show you these Catherine Cottage shoes worn now!
Ahhh the pink shoes are just to die for!
And the brown shoes!
I really think they look good with this outfit!
I'm wearing my BtSSB chocolate cardigan with my ETC biscuit dress!
So! What do you think of Catherine Cottage shoes?
