The average Republican primary voter's seething anger toward the party's congressional leadership has been the driving force in the party's presidential race thus far, to the point it's driven the electorate so stark raving mad that until recently itDonald Trump has been pushed to the top of the polls, and this looming budget deal that the leadership has concocted with President Barack Obama is not going to calm any conservative's temper.
The deal is just plain awful in every way. It effectively ends the "sequestration" budget cuts that lowered the government's share of the nation's Gross Domestic Product from 25 to 20 percent and reduced the annual budget deficits back to the level of the Bush administration, which admittedly doesn't seem like much, and it also caused cuts in defense spending that are painful to conservative sensibilities, but it was arguably the best the leadership could get and inarguably the most that the leadership could brag about. This is in exchange for promises of budget cuts in 2025, which are unlikely to be worth as much as the magic beans that the Democrats had also offered, and basically represents a complete and utter capitulation to Obama and his free-spending ways. There's nothing in the deal that addresses Planned Parenthood's baby-parts business or the Environmental Protection Agency's rapaciousness or any other other conservative budget complaints, it goes the wrong way on entitlement reform, and it outlasts the Obama administration and thus spares him any more fights over how he spends the public's money.
As awful as it is as policy, it's even worse as politics. Aside from infuriating their own average primary voter, and in a futile attempt to lure the sort of uninformed general election voter who is far more likely to be lured by whatever free and shiny object the Democrats are offering, the Republican party's official leadership are weakening their position with the solid majority of respondents to almost every poll we've ever seen who think the government should spend less and do less. The official Republican leadership's spin on it seems to be that Boehner shrewdly sacrificed his standing with his party's vast membership, such as it was, to ensure that incoming Speaker John Ryan can begin his more steadfastly conservative reign untainted by the sins his predecessor had so selflessly taken upon himself. This is all going to going down with Ryan's gavel, though, and he's not going to get any credit for it from the more establishmentarian organs of the mainstream press, who are already gearing up to portray him throughout the presidential campaign as the right-wing crazy that he used to be back in the good old days of '12 when he was chosen as the party's running mate to placate a conservative base weary of the establishment nominee Mitt Romney. Since then Ryan's gone wobbly on illegal immigration and government shutdown brinksmanship and other causes dear to conservatives' hearts, however, and by now no knowledgable observer expects a reign more steadfastly conservative than Boehner's. Thus we have an emboldened left, a dispirited right, and an uninformed middle that will be reassured by the 3l-second network news snippets in between pop songs that the Republicans are still crazily right-wing and the Democrats are still winning.
The average Republican primary voter gets his news in three-hour chunks from talk radio and in page after pixelled page of reliable conservative news sources on the internet and sometimes even on a printed page, and his response to all of this will naturally affect the presidential race. Our guess is that the already flourishing anti-establishment candidates who are completely untainted by any previous elective office will continue to do well, and it will be interesting to see if blustery real estate billionaire Donald Trump or soft-spoken physician Ben Carson gets the best of it, or if the formidable but fading high executive Carly Fiorina can get back in the mix. As the best-selling author of "The Art of Deal," with a hard-to-deny reputation as a ruthless dealmaker, Trump should gain some advantage, although we're still convinced what kind of a deal the relatively recent Republican and only occasionally conservative fellow consider would consider good. Among the establishment politicians, both Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz are presented with an excellent opportunity, and it will be interesting to see which one makes the most of it. Given the understandably seething anger of the average Republican primary voter, we expect they'll try to out-do one another in their willingness to gum up the works. If we were betting men, and if he we had any money to bet, we'd go with Cruz.
Both men came into office by besting the "establishment" candidates in their states, with Rubio the most celebrated because he had upset the hated Rockefeller Republican and soon-to-be Democrat Charlie Crist in his primary, and in a swing state at that, but since then Cruz has proved the more reckless provocateur. His filibustering attempts on previous budget showdowns were widely blamed for the inevitable frenzy of news stories about National Parks closing and old folks dying while their Social Security checks went undelivered and Earth spinning out of its orbit that inevitably followed, as well as the electoral disasters that also didn't happen, so of course the average Republican primary voter, if not the uninformed voter hearing those 30-second news snippets, has looked kindly upon him ever since. As the most notoriously anti-establishment of the elected officials, he's well positioned to lead a charge here, and he strikes as the sort who seize it.
Rubio might surprise us, though. We still fondly recall the handsome young fellow who vanquished Crist, and all the rousing speeches about capitalism and constitutional guarantees of liberty and all that full-throated Cuban anti-communism, and we can't help thinking he'd make a good pick against whatever crazy lefty the Democrats might come up with. Although the 30-second news snippets will continue to characterize him as a right-wing crazy he still needs to shore up that credential with we actual right-wing crazies, so a good old-fashioned Jimmy Stewart-style filibuster would do him even more good. It would also remind the public that he's a Senator doing his job, which further refutes a minor controversy about all the Senate votes he's been missing lately while out on the campaign trail, and ensures his name showing up in a lot of headlines that even the most uninformed voters are likely to spot.
Former Florida governor and Bush family scion "Jeb!" Bush tried to exploit the mixed votes in this weeks presidential debate, and the general consensus of pundit opinion is that Rubio responded nicely by contrasting his record with presidential candidates ranging from Sen. John McCain to Sen. Barack Obama, and that Bush's already faltering campaign took another hit. We can't see how the oh-so-establishment candidate from the oh-so-establishment family ever thought he stood a chance, and we can't see how he'll get one out of a budget deal that confirms every seething angry anti-establishment suspicion of the average Republican voter. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie also had a good night slapping around the media in the last debate, but he has a certain East Coast attitude about guns and a shoddy record on Muslim jurists and other issues dear to the hearts of more heartland conservatives, as well as the audio of him of praising Obama's Hurricane Sandy efforts and photos of them hugging together on the New Jersey shore like the end of some of Will Smith-Josh Rogan "bromance," so he also never stood a chance and doesn't stand to gain one from this awful budget deal.
Whichever candidate winds up winning the nomination on the seething angriness of the seething angriness of the average Republican primary voter, we don't worry that all the pandering will hurt their chances in a general election against what left-wing crazy the Democrats put up. For all the effort packed into those 30-second spots to make the Republicans look extreme, the Democrats are staking out wildly unpopular positions on guns, illegal immigration, law enforcement, abortion, and even on the economic issues that take more than 30 seconds to explain. If Rubio or Cruz have to explain their brinksmanship on a budget showdown to a general electorate, they can say that they did it so that the government would have to spend less and do less, which always polls well, especially after the National Parks are re-opened and the old folks never did miss a Social Security check and Earth stays in its orbit. Given the mood of the average American voter, who by now regards both the Democrats and Republicans with a seething angry suspicion, the candidate that is mostly convincingly running against both parties stands to do well.

27% of Students Considered Suicide Last Year, Study Finds
More than a quarter of all high-school students seriously considered killing themselves last year, the results of a new federal survey indicate.
Moreover, 2 percent of high-school students, or 276,000 young people, sustained medical injuries while attempting to commit suicide during the past year, notes the study, the first federal effort to document suicide attempts by adolescents over a specific time period.
The report was released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control last month. It was based on the C.D.c.'S Youth Risk Behavior Survey, which questioned a nationally representative sample of 11,631 students in grades 9-12 about a range of health issues. The study also found that the suicide rate for adolescents 15-19 years of age has quadrupled over the past four decades, from 2.7 per 100,000 in 1950 to 11.3 in 1988.
Previous studies examining the lifetime prevalence of attempted suicide have found that between 9 percent and 14 percent of adolescents have tried to kill themselves on at least one occasion, the c.D.C. said.
According to the study, 27.2 percent of students said they had thought seriously about attempting suicide during the past year. A smaller group, 16.3 percent of respondents, reported they had made a specific plan for self-destruction.
About half of the students who reported making a plan, or 8.3 percent, actually attempted suicide. And one quarter of the attempters-or 2.1 percent of all the students questioned--said they had sufficiently hurt or injured themselves during their attempt to require medical services.
"The findings reported here add to increasing evidence that most self-reported suicide attempts among adolescents and young adults do not result in injury or hospitalization," the study suggests.
Females, Latinos at Higher Risk
The C.D.C. found that female students were significantly more likely than males to think about suicide, plan or attempt suicide, and injure themselves during an attempt.
More than a third of the female students surveyed said they had considered ending their own life, the report indicates, versus 20.5 percent of the male students. And 10.3 percent of the female students actually attempted suicide, versus 6.2 percent of their male classmates.
Hispanic and white students were more likely to report suicidal thoughts and behaviors than black students, the C.D.C. found. Twelve percent of Hispanic high-school students said they had attempted suicide during the past year, while 8 percent of white students and 6.5 percent of black students reported such an attempt. Hispanic females, the report says, are particularly at risk. Almost 15 percent of these young women said they had attempted suicide during the past 12 months, while 10.1 percent of white females and 8.2 percent of black females said they had tried to kill themselves.
The C.D.C. said that more research is needed to identify effective suicide-prevention techniques.
Risk factors believed to be associated with suicide include social isolation, depression, alcohol and other drug use, and access to lethal means for suicide, the C.D.C. said.
Common strategies to prevent teenage suicides include increased referrals of high-risk adolescents to mental-health services and educating teenagers and youth workers about the warning signs of suicide, the report notes.
"These strategies have not been widely implemented, however, and little is known about their relative effectiveness," the study concludes.

Food is a response to hunger. It isn't a reward or punishment. When you are hungry, eat because it is the relevant response. When you are not hungry, don't eat because that doesn't make sense. When you learn to reconnect hunger and eating and take the reward/punishment mentality out of it, you are on your way…
Just try leaving a bite behind- Do you miss it? There is power in learning that you can leave a little behind. You will get better and better at this as you realize that whenever you are hungry you can eat.
My aunt, mom, stepmom, etc.! did too- that's okay, you know what you are doing: Diets Don't Work (in fact, they make you heavier…)
The diet industry is just delighted that their ads keep us from using our common sense…
Yes, PMS used to mess up my eating too. Just learn what helps you- take care of yourself. Rigid dieting only makes it worse. A healthy thin mentality will get you through. (When you crave some chocolate eat it, with pleasure, not guilt. Your body is smart. There is research that women really do benefit from chocolate during pms!)
When you aren't dieting, you can trust your cravings. But dieting completely distorts your hunger and cravings.
You know they don't work…Look at your own history. The first step to a thin mentality is a 100% commitment to no more diets. You will behave differently if you think a diet is in your future if this "doesn't work." NO! Stay in the present. NO more diets.
How can you eat when you are hungry when you don't know when you are hungry?
I understand. But believe me, you have hunger and NON hunger signals. They are just buried under a layer of diet mentality.
Just quiet your brain and start listening to your body. Your body's voice may be a whisper now, but it will get louder and louder when you start respecting it.

Old Bullets In New Cartridges
I've said it before: There is something disconnectedly weird about the very idea of a Vietnam war game on the innocent screens of the Nintendo DS. In a way that I can't and won't explain, it's like being enthusiastically handed a condom with Hello Kitty printed on it. Your first thought is: Do I REALLY want to do this? (Ugh… lame… ~Ed)
[image1]If you can get past that, however, Operation: Vietnam is an old-school budget game—enjoyable even in spite of its odd mechanical handicaps. Players take command of a squad of U.S. soldiers, whose chopper is shot out of the sky as the game begins. After the crash landing, you initially control a single squad member who staggers away from the wreckage and goes in search of his brothers-in-arms. Soon you'll have four under your command – a sniper, a medic, a heavy-weapons specialist and a well-balanced sergeant – one of which is always 'actively' controlled while the others obey his orders. You'll use their different weapons and skills to make your way through a series of top-down missions.
When I say 'old-school', we're talking antediluvian. This is pure top-down, run-and-gun action, with the kinds of visuals once seen in arcade games at 7-Eleven -but even so, the graphics are pleasantly cartoonish and easy on the eyes. On the upper DS screen where the action takes place, character sprites are on the verge of the super-deformed. You can feel the artists wanting to give them Big Heads, but they didn't quite get the green light. In all other respects, the Vietnamese enviroments -rivers, jungles, villages, temples and the like -are presented cleanly, with nice ambient details such as flowing water and skittering fauna.
For a humble action game, the members of your squad throw surprisingly entertaining bits of dialogue back and forth, with some clear verbal winks to Apocalypse Now. There is even a mention of the 'Nung River', the main vein of Francis Ford Coppola's cinematic take on Joseph Conrad's classic "Heart of Darkness". That might sound like heavy material for a DS arcade game, but thankfully, 'counters' like the cartoon-evil, V.C.-level boss show up in a twin-turreted tank and gloats, "GI Boys, all your base are belong to us!" Also throughout the game, enemy soldiers and beleaguered non-player civilians will occasionally pipe sound-bytes of broken English or pseudo-Vietnamese. For script writing, it gets a ten out of ten for style.
[image2]In terms of gameplay, it's a mixed field-kit: Top-down, run-and-gun skirmishes with squirts of squad-based strategy, semi-destructible environments, and some very low-level puzzle-solving. For example, after clearing out a hornet's nest of V.C. guerillas, you suddenly have to spread your squad members out on various pressure plates to open the gate to a boss. You're like a sub-mental Link working on your own case of post-traumatic stress disorder.
The puzzle-solving elements are negligible. The challenge almost always lies in using the right squad member and item for the job – heavy weapons to collapse VC bunkers (spawn points that can be a real choÌ caÌi in later levels), sniper rifles to kill enemies with a single shot before they get near you, grenades to demolish fortifications, med-packs to heal your team, and signal-markers to call in immensely satisfying, screen-scorching air strikes. You'll be tempted to use the Sniper as much as possible, but there will be situations where your squad members are separated and have to go it alone. There will be times when you can only use a single squad member against a boss, which kind of dampens the notion of a squad-based action game. Oh well.
Furthermore, there are two mechanical flaws that work against the game. The targeting system takes a little getting used to. An ever present targeting reticule will auto-lock onto enemies you're facing, once the character weapon in question is ready to fire. This means you always have to run in the direction of the enemies you're targeting – not so great.
The greater sin in terms of control lies on the lower screen, which serves as a map, a weapon screen, and a squad-behavior menu: For some inexplicable reason, Operation: Vietnam requires players to use the stylus, as opposed to single-button commands, to designate behaviors such as "follow me", "defend", and so forth. This means that, while you're mostly focused on the D-pad and buttons during heated combat, you need to keep that stylus kind of clamped between your DS and your palm, just in case you need to make some sudden, mid-combat duty switch-ups.
[image3]The enemy AI is actually pretty decent and aggressive, willing to hunt you down relentlessly for several screens. And of course, you're going to want to take care not to blunder into minefields, setting off trip-wire traps, or even running into your own, pre-designated air-strike kill zones. This sounds like total R-Tard Territory, but you will inadvertently do at least one of these things once. Accept, deal and move on.
The lack of multiplayer is a shame – but whaddaya want, it's a budget title. The presentation shines, from the clean visuals to the seamless in-game hints and banter. Even the missions themselves are named after songs appropriate to the era, such as "Bad Moon Rising" and "Break on Through". You don't often see a budget DS action title that is "understated" or "cool" in any way, but I have to give it props on both counts. If Operation: Vietnam was the new (if not exactly muscular) kid on the block, he would kick the bigger bad kid's ass and steal his girlfriend, too. Hard to beat for nineteen bucks.

text: The scalacombi is a portable stair climber with built-in seat. It is especially suitable for people who need assistance when climbing stairs but do not depend on a wheelchair. The scalacombi is based on the patented climbing principle of the scalamobil, which has proven itself many times over in practical use. It comfortably handles stairs of all kinds including spiral staircases. The scalacombi causes no damage to the covering of the staircase, no matter whether wood, stone, carpet or marble. Additional safety is provided by four integrated safety brakes that automatically stop the scalacombi at the edge of every step. The short spacing of the wheels and steerable front wheels make the scalacombi extremely mobile; it is therefore very easy to manoeuvre even in small spaces and on narrow stairways. It folds together and stows away to save space and has a removable battery pack that manages up to 300 steps with a single charge. Even transporting the scalacombi away from home is child's play since it is designed to be dismantled into individual components.

In February 2015, A Rocha UK became proud owners of a reserve on the Essex/Suffolk border. The 11-acre site used to be farmland. In more recent years, it was managed by A Rocha UK supporters Keith and Maureen Morris to become a home to a number of dragonfly and damselfly species. 21 different species have been recorded so far and that's a significant number, given the size of the site.
Known collectively as 'Odonata', these large, brightly-coloured insects are one of the best indicators of a healthy natural environment. Most of a dragonfly's life is spent as a nymph, beneath the water's surface. The adults feed on other insect species and favour quiet, sunny and secluded sites. Our reserve supports a blend of open water, shaded pools, reed beds and healthy plant life for these insects. Odonata are also sensitive to climate change. The arrival of new species in the country points to a warming climate.
Other plants and creatures flourish on our reserve with several bird species residing here, including the Hobby (Falco subbuteo), a migrant falcon whose favourite food is dragonflies!

Breaking through Prison Bars
Although just six miles apart, the Pioneer Playhouse operates in more or less a separate universe from the Northpoint Training Center, a medium-security prison in Burgin, Kentucky. But while the forces of separation are thick, Robby Henson has found a way to penetrate the prison's walls: art.
Henson is the founder and artistic director of Voices Inside, a theater outreach program created in 2010 by Pioneer Playhouse, an outdoor summer stock theater in Danville. A multi-year NEA grantee, with new funding just announced last week, Voices Inside offers weekly playwriting and performance classes to a core group of 12-15 Northpoint inmates, which Henson refers to as the program's "writing circle." Participants write ten-minute plays, complete with draft readings, the usual parade of revisions, and performances for each other. At the end of August, the best of the inmate-authored pieces are performed for the rest of Northpoint, with all acting done by inmates and a few guest artists from Pioneer. A professional performance by Pioneer actors is also staged at Northpoint each summer.
"If you are bringing an art experience to someone where creativity was not appreciated and [has lived a] hard-lived life, you feel like you are almost a missionary of art," said Henson. "You feel good if you're able to allow them to understand that creativity and art can be a positive influence."
The positive influence applies to both the individual and societal level. Although $52 billion is spent annually on the nation's prison system, very little is invested in rehabilitation or support services when prisoners are released. But studies have shown that recidivism rates are vastly reduced for prisoners who participate in creative programs, offering out-of-the-box solutions for how to prevent repeat crimes and reduce the overpopulation crisis in prisons. The recidivism rate for the Shakespeare Behind Bars program, for example, is purportedly 5.8 percent, compared to a national average of 60 percent.
The reasons for this are manifold. Voices Inside, said Henson, "gives [inmates] a chance to communicate who they are through writing, through talking about their plays. It gives them communication skills that will serve them well when they get out." There is also the discipline needed to write and revise, the teamwork required to put on a show, and the surge of self-esteem when you receive a standing ovation from your peers. These skills, Henson hopes, will "stop them from getting into negative habits when they do get out," and prevent them from re-offending.
Of course, changes are apparent on the page as well. Since many of the writer's circle participate for multiple years—a few have been involved since the program's inception—Henson has had the opportunity to watch them evolve as writers.
"In the very first months of the program, I think they were trying to write polite plays to not offend us," he said. "We really encourage work that's almost therapeutic in nature, where you write about what you know, you write about the human experience. A lot of them were raised in environments that were not country clubs." Given that prisoners have ample free time, Henson said, "they're prone to think more deeply and introspectively," which has helped develop deeper, more meaningful work.
The work has developed into a high enough level that it is actively taken beyond Northpoint walls, helping alter social and self-perception of prisoners. Inmate-authored plays are staged in New York through a sister program called Voices Inside/Out, and every autumn, the Actors Theatre of Louisville presents a reading series of the best work produced by Voices Inside. The program also teaches authors how to prep manuscripts and submit their work to playwriting competitions, further inculcating the idea in inmates that they possess true creative talent. Last year, Voices Inside participant Derek Trumbo won first place for drama in the PEN American Center's Prison Writing Competition, for his piece Conviction.
"Programs like this try to tell an inmate that they are a human being," said Henson. "They are not a summation of the one mistake that got them there."

Home The estate News Record Turnout for Dawn Chorus Walk
A clear dawn followed light overnight rain. We soon had the chance to study a female Crossbill in the Scots Pines close to our starting point, and then to compare the songs of two similar species; firstly the languid tune of the Blackbird compared to the more urgent song of the Mistle Thrush, followed by the scratchy, chaotic song of the Common Whitethroat alongside the simpler one-note trill of the Lesser Whitethroat. Yellowhammers and Linnets love the gorse bushes in these parts and we were able to study them at close range. We soon gained a bit of height, climbing past the Centenary Wood, a collection of oaks planted in 2008 in the form of a large Roman 'C' to commemorate 100 years of ownership by the Joicey family. Turning to take in the views to the west, to the Cheviots and Eildons and Moorfoots, the skies were already brightening, bringing us sunshine though still a cool breeze. Here was another chance to compare similar songs: the busy Blackcap against the slower, more alto pitched, longer-phrased Garden Warbler. Moving down onto the moor, a Long-Tailed Tit was busily flitting between the thorn bushes and a drooping branch of a Scots Pine – probably a nest was hidden from our view. A pair of Curlew flew silently off and a Willow Warbler gave us a true solo performance whilst we were sheltered from the wind. Then an Oystercatcher was spotted feeding amongst the sheep. Along with the Mistle Thrush, the Oystercatcher is the first harbinger of spring hereabouts, arriving at its inland breeding grounds in early February, long before the Chiffchaff arrives. Surrounded by the song of Skylarks and the display flights of Meadow Pipits, a small flock of Lesser Redpolls was feasting on the birch trees above the pond and a final frantic search for a Wheatear proved fruitful as we left the moor through the main gate.
Moving down to Etal, and before breakfast, we walked through the gardens of Etal Manor where the botanical knowledge of some members was as impressive as their ornithological knowledge. Several typical house-and-garden-based species were added to our list, such as Nuthatch, Goldfinch, Greenfinch and House Martin. Buns filled with bacon, sausage and scrambled egg were ready by that time and it was nice to sit down and enjoy them with unending refills of coffee and tea. It was another happy and enjoyable Dawn Chorus, prompting our visitor from Dorset – an intrepid walker – to admit that she had never before walked so short a distance in so long a time, and yet learned so much!
Finally, Lady Joicey would like to thank everyone for their very generous donations (£126) at breakfast, in aid of local charity work, and we are already looking forward to the Silver Anniversary Dawn Chorus next year!
Species recorded: Mallard, Grey Partridge. Pheasant, Common Buzzard, Kestrel, Oystercatcher, Lapwing, Curlew, Herring Gull, Woodpigeon, Collared Dove, Tawny Owl, Swift, Great-spotted Woodpecker, Skylark, Swallow, House Martin, Meadow Pipit, Grey Wagtail, Pied Wagtail, Wren, Dunnock, Robin, Wheatear, Blackbird, Song Thrush, Mistle Thrush, Blackcap, Garden Warbler, Lesser Whitethroat, Common Whitethroat, Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler, Long-tailed Tit, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Coal Tit, Nuthatch, Jay, Jackdaw, Rook, Carrion Crow, Starling, House Sparrow, Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Siskin, Linnet, Lesser Redpoll, Crossbill, Yellowhammer, Reed Bunting.

"What builds a relationship, what solves problems, what moves things forward is asking the RIGHT questions." Ed Schein in Humble Inquiry. Machiavelli's The Prince, written centuries before organizational development was a thing, noted that a great prince must "certainly be a great asker of questions."
What are the RIGHT questions? They are the kinds of questions that
- push us beyond obvious & preconceived answers;
- show humility on the part of the asker;
- demonstrate genuine curiosity in the thoughts and ideas of others;
- foster an environment of collaborative trust;
- invite honesty and truthfulness, however unpleasant the message;
- generate a range of ideas that is both wide and deep; and,
- cause us to seek out new information or consider new perspectives.
When facing change, challenge, or crisis, the temptation is to try to solve the problem as quickly and cheaply as possible, usually involving some form of imitation where we find the company that looks to be successful and try to copy what they do. This innate instinct to "institutional isomorphism" (the tendency in an industry for organizations to all look essentially alike) has given rise to an enormous industry of how-to books, conferences, and expert consultants.
Yet the most powerful ingredient for dynamic organizational change and success is everywhere we look: asking the right questions and taking time to listen well. In many cases, ask enough of the right questions in the right way and the solutions to problems become self-evident.
A leader who has a strong sense of curiosity and humble interest in the experiences, ideas, and needs of others will unleash an environment of creativity, trust, innovation, and healthy engagement like nothing else can.

How to filter iPhone and Apple Watch screenshots in the Photos app on Mac
As you might imagine, I take tons of screenshots on a weekly basis for work. Instead of connecting my iPhone to my Mac and importing screenshots manually, or instead of using AirDrop, I simply use Photo Stream to do the grunt work.
Photo Stream allows me to access any photo taken with my iPhone, including screenshots, directly from the Photos app on my Mac. Just a few seconds after taking a picture with my iPhone, the photo appears on my Mac. This is great for quickly grabbing iPhone screenshots, and it even allows you to easily access screenshots taken on the Apple Watch.
In this post, I'll show you how I set up a simple Smart Album to separate screenshots—Apple Watch screenshots included—from regular photos.

With winter just round the corner, Ferris Home Improvements of Delaware would like to share these 5 roofer tips to protect your roof from winter damage. The cold months bring all types of challenges to your home's #1 Defense system. First of all, your roof needs to be ready to protect your home from the harsh temperatures ahead.
As we enter the winter months, it is very important to perform a full roof inspection that details checking the roof sub-structure. Begin by calling a local roofer, such as Ferris Home Improvements to do a full roof inspection. Likewise, if you are the hands on DIY kind, inspect your roof for warning signs that your roof needs maintenance. Make sure it is sound and not soft or sagging. Focus on flashing areas to make sure they are up to the task ahead and working properly.
Furthermore, protect your family and furnishings by addressing any issues that arise. The cost of negligence is ALWAYS higher than regular roof repair and roof replacement, if necessary. With that in mind, check out our list of ways to protect your roof from winter damage.
5 Tips to Protect Your Roof From Winter Damage:
- Clean and Fix Gutters: Clogged and faulty gutters can lead to excessive icicle formation, which are hazardous to those below and to your home. While these gleaming ice formations can be pretty, the excess weight can damage your roof and gutters. Clean all leaves and debris out of gutters. Be sure to caulk any leaking seams or repair loose connections.
- Proper Attic Insulation & Ventilation: Attics with inadequate insulation or roof ventilation systems enable excess condensation, which leads to mold and mildew damage. Additionally, moisture might seep into cracks and freeze. This will widen the cracks causing damage and possible leakage.
- Inspect Flashing : This is where water typically finds its way to your home's interior and causes the most damage. Look at your valley ways, chimney and any sidewalls for possible leakage issues.
- Repair Loose or Missing Shingles: This is an obvious one. Missing or loose shingles will allow moisture to seep underneath as the freeze and thaw cycle occurs. This can affect the integrity of your roof and is an easy fix. Why take a chance?
- Replace Sagging or Rotting Roof: If your roof is obviously sagging or rotting, fix it before heavy snow and ice can create an even bigger problem. Failure to mitigate a compromised roof is costly and dangerous.
Regular Roof Inspections can Save You Money!
Ferris Home Improvements is very aware that a residence's roof is the first line of defense against the elements. It is better to be prepared than under prepared when it comes the integrity of your roof. Call us to schedule a routine inspection or for a FREE consultation before the next winter storm comes.
Ferris Home Improvements proudly carries the family name. We work hard to keep our stellar reputation as the #1 roofing contractors in Delaware. We've been voted Delaware's #1 Home Improvement Contractor 6 years in a row. We are insured and back up our roof installations with a warranty. Whether it is as a Residential or Commercial Roofing Contractor. A simple shingle replacement job or shingle repair in Delaware. Ferris Home Improvements is trusted throughout the community to do the right roofing job for a fair price.

I like this, but have some issues. It's hard to get it to stay lit at first. I had rub it out additionally a bit. A little too much work, not exactly what I like to do. Baccy enjoyment should be more effortless. I ultimately prefer English blends, but now I know I could potentially get into Virginias as a secondary like, and I have a better understanding after smoking a VA, what they bring to the table in some of the English blends I like. It is quite spicy, probably due to a fair amount of Perique When I finally got this cooking I really enjoyed the taste, but it did clog up my pipe at one point and I had to run a cleaner through the stem to open up the draw again. The ash is very cigar like. After tamping it a couple times the clog occurred and I had to stir it and re-light. I wouldn't go out of my way for this, but it does inspire me enough to try some more Virginias.
Addendum: After watching some YouTube pipe videos, I decided to heed some advice and pack the bowl much looser. It burned much better, basically down to a fine ash, and only required one re-light and a little bit of tamping. Quite enjoyable.

- Product Features
RGB PixelPro LED Bullets combine 8mm diffused LEDs with an intelligent WS2801 integrated circuit chip, to produce eye catching animated effects. With one IC chip per module, each module requires 3 addresses for full control. The performance and control of these silicon molded pixels is like nothing you have ever seen. Each RGB LED can be individually controlled at the same time. We conducted extensive testing on a number of IC chips and chose the best one on the market. The WS2801 chip provides the widest range of colors, is faster, more efficient, and overall performs better than other IC chips.
Easy to customize and control when used with the DMX512 Pixel Decoder. Compatible with standard DMX output, the DMX512-PX-2801 can be used with a DMX controller or light board control system of your choice. The DMX512-PX-2801 converts standard DMX output into serial protocol for the WS2801 chip, thereby enabling control of each module.
Each RGB LED is individually addressable, so you can set the color of each light on a string independent of one another. With each LED packaged in a compact silicon case, these intelligent lights are versatile and provide precise diffused dots of light. Create lighting effects for large displays that were never thought possible. The ability to control the color of each LED creates an endless number of scenarios for creative lighting design. This is the beauty of pixel control.
PixelPro Bullets are made in strings of 50, with connector plugs on the input and output of full strings. Strings can be easily linked at the beginning and end using the built in connectors. PixelPro Bullets are one directional, so be sure pay attention to the orientation of the string. The Female plug is always the input to the string, male output. The input direction is always indicated by an arrow. This product is not waterproof when cut and the SM connectors are not waterproof.
Easy to install: Built in 0.6 mm notches to punch through boards, located on the side of the bullets. 10 cm (about 4 inches) of wire between bullets. Simply cut and splice the wire wherever you like. Because the wire is flexible, you can array your bullets around your installation as you wish. If you have dark spots, you can reposition at will. Strings can be easily linked at the beginning or end.
- Accepts 5 VDC input only. Never apply 12 VDC, as this will destroy the IC chips on the strip.
- Silicon-enlosed package, 8 mm in diameter.
- Inputs: GND, DI, CI, +5V
- Red, Green, Blue (623/522/472 nm wavelength.)
- IP65 waterproof.
- 5 volts DC.
- 0.3 watts (15 watts/string.)
- Length: 0.5 in = 12.7 mm.
- Width: 0.5 in = 12.7 mm.
- Height: 1.45 in = 36.8 mm.
- Cuttable between modules.
- RoHS, IP65.
- Uses WS2801 IC.
- 50,000 hours expected lifetime.
- Warranty: 3 years limited.
- No Ultra-Violet emissions, so it won't harm your art or documents.
- We use high quality LEDs for maximum color vibrancy, longevity and color rendering. We pay more for our LED components, and you'll benefit from the difference. This is not a commodity product. Quality matters, and the materials, controls, connections and tech support we provide will make your project successful.
- Cut LED modules are not returnable.
- We provide detailed installation instructions, design criteria and technical support upon request.
- When wiring PixelPro Bullets we recommend injecting power every string, or 50 modules. Simply connect to power on both ends. This significantly reduces any voltage drop problems over the line that would lead to reduced flux far from the driver. Use the power injector plugs to apply power in between each string for best results.
The easy-to-use PixelPro connectors are listed as companion parts, for your convenience.

New researcher Huy Tran brings resilient engineered systems expertise to AE
New Research Assistant Prof. Huy Tran is an expert in methods for designing and analyzing complex systems and system-of-systems.
Having joined the Aerospace Engineering at Illinois faculty in January, Tran will use his knowledge to advance aircraft and spacecraft transportation systems. Near-term projects will be understanding, modeling and improving upon commercial airline networks, as well as examining autonomous systems such as swarm robotics.
Tran has discussed projects with collaborators at the University of Illinois Applied Research Institute. He also looks forward to working with AE's strong space systems group, including young faculty members Koki Ho, and Zach Putnam, as well as with AE Assistant Prof. Kai James on incorporating optimization.
"I think Illinois' push for systems engineering in AE was a big reason for my deciding to come here," said Tran. "I welcome the opportunity to help them define how to incorporate systems engineering into the curriculum, introduce it to students, and further develop research in the area."
This semester Tran has introduced a new course, AE 498 Computational Methods for Systems Engineering, for upper level undergraduates and beginning graduate students. "It's the idea of analyzing tradeoffs between designs. The simplest tradeoff is cost versus performance; you want to optimize for both of those objectives simultaneously," he said.
He also found Illinois' collaborative nature attractive. "There are a lot of interdisciplinary research centers and groups here, and a lot of my work is interdisciplinary."
Going forward, Tran would like to tie network analysis into a data-driven approach that employs machine learning. The National Center for Supercomputing Applications' Blue Waters facility provides an excellent avenue for pursuing this work.
Tran earned his PhD in aerospace engineering in December 2015 from Georgia Institute of Technology. He worked on designing resilient complex networks, with application to a communications network among aircraft used in the military. "Systems are becoming so complex and connected that there is likely to be a failure," he said. "You need to be able to account for the failure and continue the overall mission."
Most recently he worked for MITRE Corporation, a not-for-profit organization that operates research and development centers sponsored by the federal government. Among projects there, Tran examined cascading failures in the interdependent systems of the power grid and energy market.

Kids Deluxe Pirate Boot Tops
- Pair of Boot Tops
- Decorative gold buttons
- Laces at top and elastic bands at bottom
Being a pirate shoemaker has to be a frustrating job. You put all of your time and energy into crafting a pair of stylish, handmade boots specially designed for navigating slick decks and trudging across sandy beaches, and then what fashion trend comes along? Peg legs! Sure, the pirates still have need of your services, but they're only buying half as much merchandise, which is to say nothing of the annoyance you feel when you think about how many of your beautiful boots have wound up on the bottom of the ocean, or in the belly of a shark, or in the hull of a sunken ship. These boots are made as pairs and it just seems a shame to swap one out for a boring old peg.
Ah well, at least there are still some pirates out there who appreciate the shoemaker's trade, like whoever winds up hitting the high seas in this snappy pair of black vinyl boots. Featuring multiple gold buttons for that seafaring flair, this flashy footwear laces up to just below the knee, perfect for the added protection a true rogue needs, or for just looking sharp at your next costume party. Just please make an old cobbler's day and promise you'll do your best not to come home with one boot and a peg leg.

Exclusive to Microsoft platforms 'for the life of the title'
Titanfall will never come to PlayStation 4, Electronic Arts CFO Blake Jorgensen revealed today during a conference call with investors.
Many believed Respawn Entertainment's first project would eventually make its way to Sony's next generation console after a period of timed exclusivity. That isn't the case says Jorgensen, asserting the first-person shooter will be exclusive to Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Windows PC "for the life of the title."
Following the announcement, Respawn boss Vince Zampella confirmed the title was always planned to be a Microsoft exclusive at launch. However, it sounds like the developer may have wanted to bring it to other platforms somewhere down the line.
Zampella and his team "only found out recently" that due to an EA deal the game would be permanently chained to Xbox platforms and Windows PC. For his part, Zampella says he still intends on releasing games for PlayStation 4, "just not the first Titanfall."

One man's quest to deconstruct the catwalk during London Fashion Weekby Edward Docx / March 21, 2012 / Leave a comment
The show by British-French design duo Meadham Kirchoff at London Fashion Week, February 2012
Day four. London Fashion Week. I'm heading backstage half an hour before yet another show. I pass a neo-Ottoman grouse-beater, a man with rabbit ears, a slouch of camp rockabilly-punks, DH Lawrence and a six-foot female Day-Glo clown-witch. I'm a grizzled veteran of the scene by now, but even so, I double back. Someone has to have the definitive answer. Maybe it's her.
"Can you tell me what this is all about?" I ask.
"London. Fashion. London Fashion Week?"
"It's about…" She considers. "It's about dramatic but joyful."
One of the best answers so far. Her name is Sadie Clayton. She is a fashion student. She seems confident. And at least it's an answer that she embodies. She's a witch-clown, I realise, not the other way round. I reassess my life—so much to learn—and I look to her friend. "Anything else?" I ask.
"Neoprene," she says.
"Got it. Thanks." I nod. "Dramatic but joyful. Neoprene."
I'm getting closer, I think. I press on.
Security here is intense. I need separate passes to breathe, walk, speak, see and micturate. Indeed, faced with the demeanour of the various press officers, most non-fashion writers would assume that they had inadvertently stumbled upon some kind of top-secret peace summit between Israel and Palestine that was being personally brokered by President Obama and Angelina Jolie in the nude.
"I'm with the hair team," I say, when I reach the VVVIP security door. This is also code. It means: "you must admit me because I am critical to the continuation of Life on Earth. Without me—no oxygen, no sunlight—humanity will become extinct and the universe will return to silence."
I'm ushered in—backstage, the inner sanctum. I seek a corner from which to observe. But already a man is coming towards me. He looks… what? Crusty, but camp; the young Antonín Dvorák, perhaps. Is this his intention? Am I alone in recognising this? What is going on in men's fashion? More questions. Just when I thought I was getting closer, I find I am further away.
"Leather, leather, but loose leather," he says emphatically, in answer to my enquiry. "And sparkles."
"Sparkles, yes." I nod, nervously. In fashion, nothing must be allowed to stand still; even a week-long consensus would be globally catastrophic. "But I'm also hearing fox fur," I add. "And…

Do you ever get into a discussion where something seems perfectly obvious to you, but other people in the group can't see it? I saw a good example of this recently.
I was in a pub with a group of friends when one of them showed us a "card trick". This trick involved taking an unshuffled pack of cards, cutting it seven times and dealing seven poker hands. Six of the hands are full houses, the dealer decides to change all five cards in his hand and the next five cards deal him a running flush.
I thought the trick looked pretty obvious and I asked my friend to repeat it so I could check my understanding. He started again by cutting the pack seven times. I pointed out that it really didn't matter how many times you cut the pack and he disagreed saying that it was important to cut it seven times if you were going to deal seven hands.
This lead to a discussion where it became obvious that half of the people around the table didn't understand that cutting the pack didn't change the order of the pack at all. We'd given the cards back to the landlord by then so we couldn't demonstrate, but the rest of us tried hard to persuade them that we were right. Drinks were lined up on the table and "cut" and all sorts of analogies were tried. Finally I think we has some limited success with an analogy of beads on a necklace.
But I was very surprised that something which is so self-evident to me was such a mystery to so many of my friends.

AM Best Removes From Under Review With Developing Implications and Affirms Credit Ratings of T.H.E. Insurance Company
OLDWICK, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AM Best has removed from under review with developing
implications and affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A-
(Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of "a-" of T.H.E.
Insurance Company (T.H.E.) (New Orleans, LA). The outlook assigned to
these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.
The ratings reflect T.H.E.'s balance sheet strength, which AM Best
categorizes as strong, as well as its marginal operating performance,
limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management
(ERM). Additionally, the company's ratings benefit from the financial
support provided by the XL group, which became part of AXA S.A.
following completion of the acquisition in September 2018.
T.H.E.'s risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best's Capital
Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), is categorized as strong, and AM Best expects it
to remain at a similar level going forward. Due to material reserves
strengthening, the company reported high combined ratios of 139.3% and
142.7% in 2016 and 2017, respectively. For the first nine months of
2018, T.H.E. generated an underwriting profit of USD 5.3 million and a
combined ratio of 80.6%, and AM Best expects the company to return to
profitability for the full year. T.H.E. provides property/casualty
insurance coverage for the amusement and entertainment industry, and its
ERM is centralized at the group level.
This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published
on AM Best's website. For all rating information relating to the release
and pertinent disclosures, including details of the office responsible
for issuing each of the individual ratings referenced in this release,

At the Glengoyne Distillery: Louis Gosselin, Brett Jerrett, Jim Morrison, Jen Audas & Lyell Farquharson

Windswept at EDI castle
The day before, travel agents were treated to a cocktail gathering complete with haggis and scotch tastings (guess which had the longest line?). But would all this fanfare be enough to fill daily 737 flights to GLA?
A small group of journalists and travel agents were invited to tag along, soak up a little Scotland and report back to our various mother ships. By all accounts, Glaswegians can expect to see an influx of their trans-Atlantic cousins.
On the agent side, Blair Jerrett, Senior Director, Marketing, Maritime Travel says he will have to push out a number of marketing initiatives to support the daily frequency. But he expects success.
"There's lots of opportunity to sell to my clients. We are a strong influencer in the Maritimes, and the expectation that the majority of sales will come from NS makes sense. The ties between new and old Scotland are strong."
Jerrett says Maritime Travel already sells a lot of Scotland flights and packages without specifically focusing on the destination.
"So a direct flight will make all the difference. Maritimers hate flying west when they want to go east! We get very excited about non-stop service."
WS CEO Gregg Saretsky underlined the importance of the new route by accompanying the group, along with other senior WestJetters including VP Sales Lyell Farquharson.
"With our reputation for hospitality, it comes through when the entire team is here to set the stage," Saretsky said. "I appreciate the opportunity to meet with the trade on both sides of the Atlantic. And being here shows the importance of the route to our frequent flyers, to the travel trade, to the media. We are putting a lot of effort behind making this a success."
Lyell Farquharson, Vice-President, Sales and Business Development at WestJet, says low pricing on the route will stimulate demand. "We're also supporting the trade with co-op marketing such as direct mail programs with retail partners."
For TPI travel consultant Sandy Smith, seeing is believing. "If you experience a product, you can sell it. After coming back from a trip like this, you have a passion for it. For instance, I'm already planning some honeymoon and anniversary packages to Cameron House on Loch Lomond. The five-star Baronial Mansion with its 4-poster Whisky Suites will be a real draw. I now feel very confident about selling Scotland and I'll be sharing this with other TPI agents during our group meeting."
Jim Morrison, Vice President, Goway was along on the trip, with the goal of expanding the company's already voluminous product lineup.
"It's no secret Europe is latest piece of the Goway puzzle. We are looking at little modules and Ireland and Scotland are a good fit. The price point is attractive and we can create interesting and unique itineraries to suit a Goway customer. We already sell effectively in the maritime region. So to start a European program with direct air, I'm sure we will see the support."
Jen Audas, Corporate Travel Consultant with Carlson Wagonlit Travel says she sees two distinct benefits from the new WS service.
"For corporate agents it's great and I can see myself also selling leisure after this trip!"
Glasgow is a very family-friendly city, with free museums featuring interactive kids' areas where little ones can touch and learn. The architecture is gorgeous too. And Scotland is small by Canadian standards, but there's a huge variety of topographical landscapes. WS guests can travel to Edinburgh by train in less than an hour, and the highlands and islands are just a few scenic hours away by car.
"This is definitely the beginning of a beautiful friendship," said Moira Dyer, Senior Marketing Communications Manager, Glasgow City Marketing Bureau.
"The city of Glasgow is very excited to be working with WestJet and with the team at the Nova Scotia tourist board. There is a natural affinity between the two populations and we look forward to growing the market."
One thing this observer noted on the trip was the tremendous spirit of the WestJet teams charged with the inaugural program. These are kind and dedicated folks who clearly revel in the company's successes.
