It wasn't so long ago Jamin Graham thought his athletic future was in basketball. Then he was leaning toward joining Scott Frost's football revival at UCF.
But a face-to-face meeting with Frost last week in Alabama and an official visit to Lincoln over the weekend made up his mind — he's all in on Nebraska.
"Coach Frost really wanted me and had a high motivation," Graham told The World-Herald. "That was a big factor. I was already liking them a whole lot. Then Coach Frost coming to the school and me coming up there solidified it."
The high three-star pass-rushing prospect will start working at outside linebacker for Nebraska after playing there and at defensive end at Attalla (Alabama) Etowah High School. The 6-foot-4, 223-pounder is coming off a season in which he recorded 85 tackles (37 for loss and 13.5 sacks) along with 18 quarterback hurries and three pass breakups on a 12-1 team.
Nebraska's need for QB pressure was evident throughout the fall, with called blitzes getting home sporadically and three- or four-man fronts rarely affecting the pass game. NU finished tied for 92nd nationally in tackles for loss (63) and 64th in sacks (25). The Huskers are still in on a variety of other rushers, most notably prep defensive end prospect Ty Robinson out of Arizona and numerous junior-college options.
Etowah coach Drew Noles said Graham is actually a bit taller than 6-4 and has the kind of length and athleticism that allowed him to recently finish a pair of putback dunks in his first basketball game of the season. On the football field, he scored two defensive touchdowns on fumble recoveries in one game this fall and improved drastically in stopping the run.
"He had so many interceptions (in his career) while rushing the passer with balls that he would tip and be able to go and get," Noles said. "Tremendous athlete."
Graham chose the Huskers over finalists UCF and Southern Miss and said he is canceling an official visit he had scheduled for USM. Minnesota also offered him in early November, and he drew others from the likes of Louisville and Mississippi. Nebraska extended an offer in March.
Graham said he officially told Nebraska coaches he was committed during his visit — "they were excited," he said — and also saw in-state commits Ethan Piper (defensive lineman, Norfolk Catholic) and Garrett Snodgrass (athlete, York). He traveled to Lincoln with his mom and brother.
Said Graham: "I met a whole bunch of great people."
The standout will sign on Dec. 19 during the early period and plans to graduate in May. He becomes Nebraska's 22nd commit in Frost's first full class, which is ranked 18th nationally by Rivals and 22nd by 247Sports. Frost has said he plans to sign more than 25 players in this cycle, and it could be as many as 30.
Noles said Graham will fit in well as a playmaker. But he's also an "unbelievable character kid," a guy who has a leadership role in the community youth ministry and doesn't gloat on the field even with superior talent.
"In today's society you see kids that sack the quarterback and want to get up and let everyone know they sacked the quarterback," Noles said. "He picks the quarterback up, pats him on the back and goes back. He's not about show. He plays hard and is kind of old school."?
Truly blessed just wish my granddad to was here to see it but #GBR ???????? pic.twitter.com/NH6HFWVPNm— Jamin Graham (@jamin_graham27) December 2, 2018

Jachimo. This Posthumus-methinks I see him now
Post. Ay, so thou dost,
In this example we find the fury of the passion very apt to carry the voice too high, but the poet has very judiciously thrown in breaks and alterations in the passion, which give the speaker an opportunity of lowering and altering his voice. Thus the voice is at its highest pitch of rage at to come, when the break and different shade of the same passion, at 0 give me cord, &c. affords an opportunity of lowering the voice by means of a mixture of intreaty. The voice is at its utmost extent of height at kill'd thy daughter; as in this passage he declares openly his guilt, in order to provoke his punishment; but the next clause, villain-like, I lie, gives a different shade of force to the voice by a mixture of remorse. The next sentence, The temple of virtue, &c. has a regret and tenderness in it that affords an alteration of voice; but as this alteration slides into extreme grief, in which the voice is very apt to go too high, the next sentence, Spit and throw stones, hic, by the deep hatred it falls into, gives the speaker an oppor. tunity of lowering and recovering the force of his voice, in order to conclude with that force and ten. derness which the latter part of the speech necessa. rily requires. Thus, by properly distinguishing the different shades and mixtures of the passions, we not only produce variety, but afford the voice such resources of energy, as can alone support it in the pronunciation.
Rule VII. When we are speaking extempore, and have carried the voice to its utmost extent in a high key, in order to bring it down to a lower, we ought, if possible, to adopt some passion which requires a low key ; such as shame, hatred, admonition, &c. as in the spirited speech of T. Quintius to the Roman people, quoted under Rule IV.
The same may be observed of the speech of the Angel, in Milton, to Satan.
Think we such toils, such cares disturb the peace
The former part of this speech raises the voice to the highest pitch, and is finely relieved and contrasted by the low tone which scorn requires in the conclusion.
Gesture, considered as a just and elegant adaptation of every part of the body to the nature and import of the subject we are pronouncing, has always been considered as one of the most essential parts of oratory. Its power, as Cicero observes, is much greater than that of words. It is the language of nature in the strictest sense, and makes its way to the heart, without the utterance of a
single sound. Ancient and modern örators are fult of the power of action ; and action, as with the itlustrious Grecian orator, seems to form the beginning, the middle, and end of oratory
Such, however, is the force of custom, that though we all confess the power and necessity of this branch of publick speaking, we find few, in our own country at least, that are hardy enough to put it in practice. The most accomplished speakers in the British Senate are very faulty in their use of action, and it is remarkable that those who are excellent in every other part of oratory are very deficient in this. The truth is, though the reason of action in speaking is in the naturc of things, the difficulty of acquiring the other requisites of an orator, and the still greater difficulty of attaining excellence in action, which after all our pains is less esteemed than excellencies of another kind); these, I say, seem to be the reasons why action is so little cultivated among us : to this we may add, that so different are national tastes in this particular, that hardly any two people agree in the just proportion of this so celebrated quality of an orator. Perhaps the finished action of a Cicero or a Demosthenes would scarcely be borne in our times, though accompanied with every other excellence. The Italians and French, though generally esteemed better publick speakers than the English, appear to us to overcharge their oratory with action ; and some of their finest strokes of action would, perhaps, excite our laughter. The oratory, therefore, of the Greeks and Romans in this point, is as ill suited to a British auditor, as the accent and quantity of the ancients is to the English language. The.common feelings of nature, with the signs that express them, undergo a kind of modification, which is suitable to the taste and genius of every nation ; and it is this national taste which must necessarily. be the vehicle of every thing we convey agreeably, to the publick we belong to. Whether the action of the ancients was excessive, or whether that of the English be not too scanty, is not the question :: those who would succeed as English orators must speak to English taste; as a general must learn the modern exercise of arms to command modern, armies, and not the discipline and weapons of the ancients.
But though-the oratory of the moderns does not require all those various evolutions of gesture which was almost indispensable in the ancients, yet a certain degree of it must necessarily enter into the composition of every good speaker and reader. To be perfectly motionless while we are pronouncing: words which require force and energy, is not only: depriving them of their necessary support, but rendering them unnatural and ridiculous. A very vehement address, pronounced without any motion but that of the lips and tongue, would be a burlesque upon the meaning, and produce laughter ; nay, so unnatural is this total absence of gesticulation, that it is not very easy to speak in this manner.
As some action, therefore, must necessarily accompany our words, it is of the utmost consequence, that this be such as is suitable and natural. No matter how little, if it be but akin to the words and passion; for if foreign to them, it counteracts and destroys the very intention of delivery. The voice and gesture may be said to be tuned to each other : and if they are in a different key, as it may be called, discord must inevitably be the consequence. An awkward action, and such as is unsuitable to the words and passion, is the body out of tune, and gives the eye as much pain as discord does the ear.
In order therefore, to gain a just idea of suitable action and expression, it will be necessary to observe that every passion, emotion, and sentiment, has, a
particular attitude of the body, cast of the eye, and tone of the voice, that particularly belongs to that passion, emotion, or sentiment : these should be carefully studied, and practised before a glass when we are alone; and before a few friends, whose can: dour and judgment we can rely on. Some good piece of composition should then be selected, and every period or sentence be marked with that passion, emotion, or sentiment, indicated by the words, that the eye in reading may be reminded of the passion or sentiment to be assumed. These passions and emotions we should express with the utmost force and energy we are able, when we are alone, that we may wear ourselves into the habit of assuming them easily in publick. This forcible práctice in private, will have the same effect on our publick delivery, that dancing a minuet has on our general air and deportment. What Pope says of writing is perfectly applicable to action in oratory,
True ease in action comes from art, not chance,
To descend, however to a few of those particulars, to which it seems the most necessary to attend ; it may not be improper to take notice, that in reading, much less action is required than in speaking. When we read to a few persons only in private, it may not be useless to observe, that we should accustom ourselves to read standing, that the book should be held in the left hand ; that we should take our eyes as often as possible from the book, and direct them to those that hear us. The three or four last words, at least, of every paragraph, or branch of a subject, should be pronounced with the eye pointed to one of the auditors. When any thing sublime, lofty, or heavenly, is expressed, the eye and the right hand may be very properly ele

Sounds like someone got the hint that the rebels are getting restless to see Snow taken down (in Mockingjay Part 2). First the fandom was lead to a new website landing page at revolution.pn
It's just a landing page for now that allows you to register for… something. We're assuming this site is the rebel's new web address of choice for revealing public messages. It's no longer just about District 13 any more, so I guess District13.co.in will lie dormant in the graveyard of past movie campaigns. We love getting new content, but we have to ask DO WE REALLY NEED ANOTHER WEBSITE? Silly us, of course we do. Lionsgate marketing really loves websites. So we're getting another. Let's hope there's some great, fun stuff waiting beyond the landing page.
But we didn't despair at the "gray wall of new logo" for long, because the reveal of the new website of the revolution was just an appetizer for the main reveal of the day. Yes, friends, THERE IS ANOTHER POSTER. The fiery Mockingjay no longer flies alone.
It's a pretty cool visual – Snow and his empire are busting apart at the hands of the rebels – and it pairs nicely with Mockingjay Part 1's Capitol Propaganda poster.
We're so relieved that it looks like Mockingjay Part 2 promotion may FINALLY be picking up. This new poster and website make us anxious to finally see some STILLS and a TEASER TRAILER for the film. You know, something truly from the upcoming film. The visuals of Katniss, Prim, and Effie revealed from Tim Palen's book, and now this poster may be a part of the Mockingjay Part 2 campaign in Lionsgate's mind, but we're hungry for something that is uniquely PART 2.
Yes, we want a revolution.

On July 13, 2018, the IRS issued Notice 2018-61, which could provide significant tax savings for nongrantor trusts and estates.
The notice represents the IRS's intent to issue future regulations on guidance provided therein—giving nongrantor trusts, estates, and individuals who are beneficiaries of nongrantor trusts or estates access to deductions that were previously uncertain, providing tax relief, and potentially impacting estate planning strategies.
Because tax reform, referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA), was passed in a rush before Congress adjourned for the year, some of the act's provisions are ambiguous.
One of the changes in question is the repeal of miscellaneous deductions. For individual taxpayers, that change is clear: Deductions subject to the 2% floor limitation on Schedule A won't be deductible until 2026. However, the wording of the repeal isn't as clear for trusts, forcing trusts to piggybacked off the same code section as individuals.
Notice 2018-61 implies that the US Treasury intends to issue regulations permitting nongrantor trusts and estates to deduct costs that are no longer deductible for individual taxpayers. It also provides a unique planning opportunity for nongrantor trusts, estates, and individuals who are beneficiaries of nongrantor trusts and who wish to deduct frequent trust expenses.
The below table shows the deductibility of the most frequent trust expenses:

Social cohesion features in Irish cultural policy mainly through policies for the promotion of participation and audience extension, both conventional and via the community arts movement. The 2006 Public and the Arts report, published by the Arts Council, confirmed the continuing importance of income, education and class in determining levels of engagement with the arts.
The various national programmes for government have underlined the importance of promoting social cohesion as Ireland purports to move toward a knowledge-based society. The arts are generally seen as an instrument in this endeavour, though this has not translated into explicit recognition at the central level. The National Economic and Social Forum (NESF) in its report, The Arts, Cultural Inclusion and Social Cohesion, published in 2007, make the case for cultural inclusion as part of social cohesion. The report shows that participation in the arts varies markedly according to educational level, socio-economic status, area and age. It points out that major national policy documents do not bear witness to a clear policy to broaden arts participation, though Library and Arts Council documents demonstrate a strong focus on social inclusion. The six key recommendations of the report, relating to better policy co-ordination, management and certainty of funding, supports for children, targeted measures for specific groups, improved data and evaluation, and implementation mechanisms, aim to correct this lack of strategic focus. In 2008, the data furnished by the Arts Council's 2006 publication on The Public and the Arts (see chapter 6) was subjected to further analysis by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) which in its report In the Frame or Out of the Picture? A Statistical Analysis of Public Involvement in the Arts confirmed strongly the influence of social and economic background on involvement in the arts.
There is no doubt that the economic crisis has impacted heavily on social inclusion in Ireland and many studies have pointed to the growing level of inequality in Irish society. See for example, http://www.progressive-economy.ie/2014/07/the-inequality-debate.html). Government cutbacks impacted strongly on the social inclusion agenda and led to outcry by civil society groups.
The National Action Plan for Social Inclusion 2007-2016, published by the Irish Government Office for Social Inclusion recognises the benefits of arts and culture and pledges that in the lifetime of the plan each of the national cultural institutions will implement access policies. The plan also encourages children's participation in the arts. The most recent annual monitoring reports for the National Action Plan make virtually no mention of cultural or arts inclusion.

Our panelists are:
Nancy A. Hodgson, Ph.D., RN, FAAN, University of Pennsylvania, an expert on dementia care and end-of-life care for people with dementia;
Helen Kales, M.D., University of Michigan, a geriatric psychiatrist and expert on dementia care and mental health issues;
Yvonne Latty, BFA, MA, a journalist and professor, who is dealing with her mother's Alzheimer's;
Katie Maslow, MSW, Gerontological Society of America, an expert on improving care for people with dementia and supporting their caregivers; and
Mary L. Radnofsky, Ph.D., a former professor who lives independently since being diagnosed twelve years ago with dementia and is an advocate for people with dementia.
The event — in the foundation's Washington, D.C., office — is open to the public. Feel free to share with your contacts and colleagues.
If you are attending our event in person, please register.
No registration is required to watch the Facebook Live.

Our Philosophy at Move is simple
All mechanical systems must continually move or they stagnate and degenerate.
"There is no drug in current or prospective use that holds as much promise for sustained health as a lifetime program of physical exercise."
– The Journal of the American Medical Association.
Maintaining mobility, strength as well as suppleness is important to optimal health. In the first instance, our aim is to find those specific areas of the structure that are restricted or have stagnated in their ability to move and then to restore these regions to their optimal functioning.
Our Philosophy guides our process
Using hands on treatment to release painful or stiff muscles and also joints
Helping the person become aware of their movement. After that helping to relearn control and also awareness of correct movement.
Strengthen and improve ability to perform daily tasks , work and also athletic performance by using exercise
Improving your posture and also keeping movement over your life.
Every patient is a unique individual and regardless of their symptomatic state. Each individual needs a specific and also specialised treatment regime where the ultimate aim of treatment is the empowerment and engagement of the individual to live their life with purpose and passion. To engage in a regular stretching and strengthening exercise program, to eat nutritious food and drink enough water each day and to also maintain a positive outlook where ever they find themselves.
At Move we aim to empower our patients to engage with health creating activities and to choose their health as a priority. We hope to also help our patients learn how to love the process of growing, nurturing and also enjoying their health.
We believe that Move is absolutely the perfect place to start your journey towards your optimal health.

Well, following the instructions by Tom on how to overcome the limited number of voices of the GPO organ, I created a powerhouse organ piece, which quite well demonstrates how to get a good 32 ft power bass! I am pleased, and can see many more possiblities for expanding the organ. If you want to check it out, the piece is posted on the demos and midi page under Dynamite Organ.
If you write for or record organ, you really ought to check out Tom's tutorial on the organ. It is quite helpful.

I started today with a sense of foreboding. It was a bleeder from yesterday, when my laptop that was issued to me by the client. Every week, I take it to their location when I attend our weekly meeting. Wednesday was no exception and from all the signs, the required system updates had installed properly. Yesterday when I logged onto the machine from home, it failed miserably. I called the client's IT department and we troubleshot the issue for hours without success. I was told that I needed to bring it back to the client's office and connect it physically to the network in order to resolve the problem.
With that in mind, I got up this morning and went to the client's office. I knew that I was losing valuable time that needed to be spent on other issues, but I rationalized that the updates were important (and they are) and that it wouldn't take more than 2 hours. At the end of 8 hours at the location today, I gave up and returned home. I left the laptop with the client's IT people so it could be connected to the network over the weekend in the hope that things would FINALLY be corrected.
I got almost nothing done today other than dialing in to meetings where I had to address the situation and let people know that my company tasks were on hold until the laptop issue was resolved. I cannot connect to all the company resources while I am at the client's location due to client security policy. This also explains why I work remotely.
Now I face the unpleasant prospect of going back to the client's office on Monday in the hope that the laptop will have finally updated correctly. I have to say that I am NOT confident about this. In the meantime, work will continue to pile up from the company and I will have to make arrangements to cover that starting Monday as well.
Honestly, as I sit here writing this, the cabinet where the adult beverages are stored is actually screaming at me. I predict that before the end of this evening that I will go and explore to see what all the fuss is about, in other words, I fully expect to be completely trashed by bedtime.
I certainly hope that the weekend will be pleasant. After a day like today, and the prospect of another day like this on Monday, I deserve a good weekend.

A new interactive tool developed by the Doerr Institute for New Leaders gives students a one-stop shop for finding the organizations that match their leadership needs and goals.
The Doerr Institute created the tool in response to students expressing a need for a better way to navigate all the leader-development offerings on campus.
"Some students expressed that it took years for them to find out what all the organizations on campus were, where they were, how they were unique and how to get involved," said Lillie Besozzi, the senior associate director for operations at the Doerr Institute. "What the students desired was a virtual personal assistant who could ask them a few questions about their experiences in high school, what they intended to study at Rice and what they aspired to do after graduation. Based on that information, the assistant would develop a tailored plan for the student's development."
Enter Pathfinder, a new interactive, text message-based chat bot that leads students through 10-12 questions about their background, interests and experiences and then generates an individualized, tailored set of recommendations for each student's leader development at Rice.
Pathfinder represents collaboration among campus organizations that develop students as leaders, including the Rice Center for Engineering Leadership, the Center for Civic Leadership, the Center for Career Development, the Young Owls Leadership Program, the Doerr Institute, Community Bridges, the Department of Athletics, WomenLEAD and Peer Academic Advising. The Doerr Institute oversaw the development and implementation of this tool based on the feedback from focus groups comprising current Rice students during the spring semester.
Rice's Department of Athletics has been collaborating with the Doerr Institute to develop their student-athletes as leaders both on and off the field.
"What I like about Pathfinder is that it connects our students with all of the leadership opportunities available on campus," said Stacy Mosely, senior associate director of athletics at Rice, who oversees the Office of Student-Athlete Development. "Our student-athletes have very busy schedules, and this tool will allow them to enter their personal information and have details about leadership organizations available at their fingertips."
Mosely said she thinks the tool will really enhance the ability of student-athletes to connect with leadership resources.
"Pathfinder is very innovative, and I think once our students are introduced to it, they are going to enjoy seeing what opportunities are out there," she said.
Daniel Pham, a McMurtry College sophomore, was one of the students who participated in the Doerr Institute's focus groups about Pathfinder and served as a tester of Pathfinder during the development phase. He and fellow students offered feedback on what they liked about the Pathfinder and how they thought it could be improved.
"I think Pathfinder is a really good way to centralize different leadership groups at Rice," Pham said. "It's a one-stop shop for filtering out the type of leadership opportunities that would not be beneficial to you, and for targeting the things in which you are interested."
He said he thinks the tool will be especially helpful for new students following O-Week, when they receive a lot of new information about leadership opportunities available on campus.
"I'm definitely excited to see where it goes in the future and how it affects people's experience at Rice," he said.
Allie Eggert, a Hanszen College sophomore, was another student who gave the tool a trial run.
"I think it is a very effective tool," she said. "I enjoyed testing it out and look forward to exploring its recommendations for me."
To use Pathfinder, prospective and current students can text "LEAD" to 713-636-5552. Text message rates apply.

First day in Korea
It's my first day in Korea, I just reach here this morning, very tired so instead of start my vacation plan today, decided to follow my brother to go for his school football match, it's a match between his university, Korea University and Yonsei.
Well the match held at Olympic Stadium, Korea hosted the Olympic game on 1988. So here is me standing in front of the stadium. 😛
So once inside the stadium, it was huge! People shouting like mad, it doesn't looks like a university match, at least not in Malaysia.
There are people who performing throughout the whole match, I should salute these people man, they are so dedicated, even under a heavy rain they still keep performing, with strong wind and all that.
The Korea University won the match, with 2-1, and the goal from Yonsei is from penalty. We went home after that.
At night people celebrating the match along the streets.
Here is the video of the performance I took during the match, note that the football match is actually behind the performers, but no one bothers about the match. 😀
PS: Please head over to my Korea trip gallery for more photos!

Lead/Copper Testing
Because you can't see, smell or taste lead in your water, it can go undetected. Testing is the only way to determine if there are harmful levels of lead in your home. If any of the following apply, you may want to consider testing:
- Your home was built before 1986. These are more likely to have lead pipes, fixtures and solder.
- Your home has brass, copper plumbing and/or chrome-plated fixtures.
- You see signs of corrosion from your water (frequent leaks, rust-colored water, stained sinks, dishes, or laundry).
Options for testing
- Download a copy of the Lead and Copper Testing Request Form. Lead testing is $15 per each faucet tested. Lead and copper testing is $30 per each faucet tested.
- If you are not able to download a form, contact the Centralized Water Department Laboratory at 817-392-5900 to have the form sent to you. (i.e. fax, mail or email)
- Take the completed request form to the following locations to pay for the lead and/or lead/copper testing:
- Downtown to Water Customer Service located at 908 Monroe St. Accepted payments include cash, check or credit card.
- At the Centralized Water Department's Laboratory located at 2600 SE Loop 820. Accepted payments include exact cash and check.
- Please notify staff at the laboratory (817-392-5900) prior to coming to pay for the lean/copper testing. Please bring an official identification card to show security personnel and gain access to facility.
- Pick up the sample kit at the Centralized Water Department Laboratory.
- Collect the samples according to the instructions in the kit and return to the Centralized Water Department Laboratory.
- Make sure you notify staff of the date the sample kit will be delivered.
- Once the analysis is complete, you will be notified of the test results.
Or, if you choose, you can:
- Have a licensed plumber determine if your home contains lead solder, lead pipes or pipe fittings that contain lead. A plumber can also determine if your home has a lead service line connecting your home plumbing to the community water system's water main. The presence of these materials does not mean you have lead in your water, but the potential exists.
- Purchase a home treatment device. Some of these remove lead, but not all. To determine if a device removes lead before you purchase, visit NSF International.
- Construction is coming to Gateway Park
- Library teams with water utility to help customers seeking financial assistance
- New water and sewer lines planned for Bellaire, Ranch View, South Hills and Westcliff Road South

It's time again for the annual Saratoga Festival of Trees! This event is a family-favorite and a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season. The Festival of Trees transforms the Saratoga City Center each year into a magical winter wonderland.
At last year's festival, we adored oohing and ahhing over each of the exquisitely decorated Christmas trees. After admiring the trees, we were then seated in the dining area for a special 'sundaes with Santa'. The kids loved eating ice cream and then a little visit with Santa (+photo!) In the Santa's Workshop area, the kids enjoyed making crafts and playing games with Santa's helpers.
Helping Neighbors in Need
"The Festival of Trees is the largest fundraiser for Catholic Charities. This anniversary is a reminder of an event that has been making a difference for 20 years," said Julia Ingersoll, communications specialist at Allegory and committee principle for the Festival of Trees.

When you've got decided that you just want to work as part of the airways cabin crew or are actively enthusiastic about it, learn my expertise right here. A easy understanding that the climate and water within the Caribbean is fairly heat throughout the year will help you are feeling comfortable booking a Christmas cruise or a cruise in January or February when cruise costs are at rock bottom. So individuals would literally compete to see who could get essentially the most cruise points prefer it was some sort of fancy New England prep school. Though Superstar can change a ships itinerary for a season the Silhouette has been pretty constant since it launched. I enjoyed the leaving/arriving later state of affairs we did on the previous cruise so did so once more.
They might even deal with port days as additional sea days, staying aboard when the ship calls at a port they have been to before. The U.S. C1/D and Schengen are the 2 greatest visas for cruise ship musicians, but they are not the only ones. Within the following months, one of the largest and most costly (its total price reached $1.2 billion) salvage operations ever commenced, aiming to refloat and remove the half-sunk cruise ship. After lunch we all took our little tour of the ship: Havana Bar, Havana Deck, Pink Frog Pub, Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse, JiJi's, then the Alchemy Bar the place we had to have a cocktail and go to with Ana. I've gotten some really good deals with onboard spending dollars and free upgrades at It is best to test that website out. Anyone who goes on a Caribbean cruise from a Florida cruise port may need to spend time near the ports where they embark. The facilities aboard cruise ships have improved drastically over the previous 10 years.
Cruise ships are like resorts floating on water, you simply can't go house on the finish of the day, and you live in the lodge. I loved studying it, AND, now I'll know what persons are referring to when they talk about their cruise holidays. PITCHING is when the ship encounters large waves in such a fashion that she rocks lengthways, or front to again. I'm thinking of a cruise to Russia because it's the easiest method to get a visa – thanks for the suggestion of forming a personal touring party.
From which cruise line is perhaps right for you, and how to decide on a ship, to what to anticipate if you board and all during the the rest of your cruise vacation. The group should have a music-listing of over 200 tunes and will get to rehearse on-land for two-three weeks earlier than joining the ship. Phil.-jbb four years in the past just like the answers i agree, a ship have to be treated as a woman or referred to as a she…. must be taken care off. These are full days where you are sailing from one port to the subsequent and you're, in fact, stuck on the ship.
I'm wondering if the ship operators tell the passengers concerning the Conventional Latin Mass we've got every Sunday. I've learn several experiences that ships are crusing quick-staffed and onboard techs are having to fill the gaps by doubling up on venues, and so on. My husband is planning our next cruise throughout the table from me as I write this…Panama Canal! There were kinds to fill out, after all, and I hit my first snag: as a way to be a Bridge Director on cruise ships, you have to be certified by the ACBL (American Contract Bridge League) as each a trainer and a director. Depending on what you want out of your trip, the ships and facilities of each might make a difference when planning your subsequent Disney Cruise Line trip. Which sadly means that even if you have the time off, or the ship is staying overnight, you will not be capable of do anything but take a look at that particular metropolis from the ship.

While using any medication it is necessary to be watchful for side effects which may occur. Generally Cialis generic is well-tolerated and causes no or minor side effects such as flushing of the face or stuffy nose. These side effects usually do not require any special medical attention you can report to your doctor if they continue or bother you. Other not serious side effects include:
- Dizziness
- Pain in back or muscles
- Headache
- Stomach upset
Still side effects are individual and in most patients they disappear with time. Serious side effects happen rarely, they should be reported to your doctor soon as possible:
- Severe allergic reactions
- Breathing problems
- Hearing changes, loss of hearing
- Chest pain
- Fast, irregular heartbeat, fainting
- Vision problems, loss of vision
- Priapism – prolonged and painful erection
- Severe nausea, dizziness, pain in the whole body
In case any serious side effect occurs, the treatment with Cialis generic should be stopped.

(a long post, you may need coffee)
Our trip to Portland (Oregon) did not start well. Storm Gareth delayed our flight from Newcastle to Schiphol and we only managed to board the connecting transatlantic flight by running. Luckily the departure gate was in the terminal we had landed in, so we did not have far to go.
Naturally our luggage did not make the flight so, once landed and out of the airport, we had a stop-off at a shopping mall to collect a few minor requirements (I always carry some basics in my hand luggage – husband, not so prepared)
Well, there is always an up-side and for us it meant waiting in the apartment the next morning for delivery of the luggage. I think the enforced slow start really helped cope with the time-change. We are visiting our eldest daughter and her partner who have recently moved to Portland for 12 months. Waiting for the courier in the ground floor lounge-area near the gym and 'doggy parlour' (and pretending to read my book) I was able to casually observe normal life. A busy and popular area for the young professionals, there was a lot of activity – many dogs being walked, runners with various tracking devices and earphones, the occasional 'elderly' couple (by that I mean over 50) and the non-stop delivery men. Although the building has nine floors – each with approx. 8 apartments – it really felt like a village.
In the entrance area (beside gym etc.) there are 3 seating areas where residents can meet. I sat near the Cribbage table which is used in the evening by a group of enthusiasts. There are also a number of 'interest' groups – Running, Book Club etc. On the top floor is an open area with BBQs, tables and fire pits. An indoor area provides a meeting area with TV, a kitchen, dining area and games room (with, of course, a Pool table) As I said – a little village, communal living at its best.
Once unpacked and feeling refreshed we wandered out of the building to view our new surroundings.
As we expected the area was a mixture of new apartment blocks, old original wooden houses and many restaurants, coffee houses and quirky shops.
The next morning, after a hearty USA style breakfast (I really should start asking for child portions) we walked the first half of the Lower MacLeay Trail. I was constantly surprised, throughout our stay, how soon you could be 'in the wild' by just stepping off an urban pathway.
A good stretch of the legs and we were off to conquer Mount Hood – well, in a small way. We stayed in a cabin near The Meadows ski area https://www.skihood.com/the-mountain the ski area was busy with plenty of snow to enjoy. The cabin, in reality a 4-bed detached house, was set in a small forest along a bumpy track. As you can imagine, waking up on a morning to watch deer grazing in the backyard was magical.
Having skied on Saturday (well, they did, I walked) we headed to the Timberline Lodge for Sunday morning coffee. A hotel worth a visit, if only for its history, www.TimberlineLodge.com and www.friendsoftimberline.org have more in-depth information. It was built as part of the Works Progress Administration project in the late 1930s offering work to many following the economic depression. It not only provided employment but an opportunity to maintain/regain skills and crafts. The building, inside and out, is a tribute to the high level of ability of the craftsmen, apprentices and their families. Many of the replacement fittings and repairs are undertaken today by local craftsmen using the same hand worked techniques.
Aside from the historical features the hotel itself is set within a popular ski area with picturesque tree lined runs – but, today we were hiking so off we went to the Mirror Lake Trail. Walking through woods and over many bridges (some with snow higher than the safety rails!) was both calming and exciting. We didn't reach the lake, deciding after an hour we would have to turn back – will try again in the summer.
In the car once again, we headed back to the city stopping at Skyway Diner for lunch and then – a seat in the sun to recover. I would fully recommend a visit – a diner as I imagine them to be and the food was really good. https://skywaybarandgrill.com/
Although we had only travelled for 2 hours from the ski area back to the city, once home the evening temperature was so warm, we took our 'cuppa' to the roof to bathe in the sun.
Next morning the workers were up and off at dawn returning at sunset to catch up on paperwork, domestic chores and finding time to eat – oh, I remember those days! We spent the next 4 days looking after ourselves in the city. We had considered visiting Seattle and other nearby towns, but our purpose was to spend time with Emma and Chris, so we stayed put. It did help that the weather was sunny and warm – which is not typical of Portland, so I'm told. Apparently it normally rains, it would have felt like home I guess.
Portland is not what I would call a touristy city – in the manner of London or Edinburgh – there are no obvious historical sites or buildings. Yet, there is plenty to do, many walks to follow and nearby trails within easy reach. (e.g. Walking Portland, Becky Ohlsen Wilderness Press). The transport system was easy to use, although we mainly walked as the city is not big.
Walking meant we became familiar with the layout and also noticed more than if we had been in a car. Homelessness, especially of young men, is an obvious social problem. I did notice 'Walk-in' Social Support centres as well as 'Social Services Support Workers' in Hi-Vis jackets so perhaps this is a concern the authorities are attempting to address.
When shopping we were frequently asked how we were coping with Brexit – apparently there is a lot of genuine concern for us Brits and how we will manage in the future!
Our average daily walk was 14Km so I will just pick out the highlights. We set off one day to walk to the Willamette River following one of the walks in our book. It took us past the Union Station (a Victorian red brick building) built to accommodate the growing availability of railway travel and an increasing internal migration.
Street art, definitely not graffiti, was tastefully done on the sides of buildings – representing events and charities. We noticed many as we walked the city.
The first 'surprise' was the Lan Su Chinese Garden in the Chinatown District. https://lansugarden.org/ We were not going to go in at first, it looked small and our walk had many other points of interest. As we walked towards it we noticed that, whilst there was not a queue, there was always someone at the gate so decided to 'drop-in' – and so glad we did. An oasis in the city, beautiful set out in a traditional style with explanations of the motifs and selected plants. And joy of joys- the Teahouse was real and so naturally we had to stop and sample the mooncakes and one of the many varieties of loose-leaf tea.
As well as the street art we noticed many sculptures placed throughout the city – some representing events although many seemed to represent values and aspirations of the citizens.
Lunch was another highlight of the day – nearing the river we came to 'Huber's', one of the oldest restaurants in the city and famous for its Roast Ham as well as its Chowder. https://www.hubers.com/ I chose a small bowl of the Chowder (yes, I'm learning about portion size) and a Caesar salad. Both were very good; in fact the salad was the nicest Caesar salad I have ever tasted. Huber's setting and deco reminded me of 'Betty's Tearooms' in North Yorkshire. We then walked along the riverside and back to the apartment passing many of the micro-breweries and coffee-roasters that Portland is renowned for.
Another day we ventured on a tram towards Washington Park, a comparison to NYC Central Park would not be out of place. Our first stop was Oregon Zoo, https://www.oregonzoo.org/ which is currently undergoing a major renovation. At times it was like being in a building site. All will be complete and re-opened in 2020 so a visit then will be worthwhile. The Zoo's involvement in a variety of conservation programmes is encouraging. We walked from there to the Japanese Garden https://japanesegarden.org/
The route took us further into Washington Park through the Hoyt Arboretum along the Wildwood Trail. The Garden, once we arrived, provided a sense of tranquillity which, in a way, prepared us for what we next witnessed. Walking back to the city we walked through the Holocaust Memorial, sculptures of abandoned belongings telling their poignant story.
The following day we walked the rest of the MacLeay Trail and up to Pittock Mansion. It was a tough uphill 3 mile walk and, compared to the lower section, not for the weak-hearted. You can drive to the Mansion and park outside the door!
The Mansion itself is worth a visit especially if you are interested in history – the building and it's artefacts tell the story of Portland's early days using the life of Henry Pittock, publisher of The Oregonian http://pittockmansion.org/ Take a camera as the views from the garden are fantastic.
Our final day of city walking was forecast to be rainy, so we had planned indoor activities starting with a visit to Powell's City of Books – it is reported to be the largest bookshop in the world. https://www.powells.com/locations/powells-city-of-books/ Accept the store map on entering – you will need it! I am an avid reader and really looked forward to this visit. To be honest there was just so much to see, read, digest I was overwhelmed. I think visiting regularly and having some idea of what you are looking for is the better way to understand the content.
We then moved on to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry https://omsi.edu/ There were so many schoolchildren (I mean – hundreds!) on a City Educational Day. So, there was only one thing to do – jump straight in and attempt all the tasks in the exhibitions. Mixed successes, truth be told the children had a much better idea than us, although I did manage to build a boat that sailed and James used cogs and cables to generate enough electricity to power one house.
The main challenge of the day was to collect a birthday cake and deliver it to the restaurant we would be dining in that evening.
Walking and using the tram whilst carrying the cake-box was successfully achieved – despite bumps, sudden turns and bizarre 'spaced out' fellow passengers on the final tram ride.
The second weekend of our trip was spent on the Pacific Coast and our luck with the weather ran out, although not too wet the sun disappeared and the stormy clouds rolled in. this was disappointing as it was national Whale Watching weekend and we learnt that whales do not come as close to the shoreline in such conditions. That said we did see 'shadows' and the water 'blows' so we knew they were there. Emma was lucky enough to see the tail end of a dive. https://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=thingstodo.dsp_whalewatching The State Park Rangers based at 'Lookout' points were very friendly and informative so do stop by and ask them questions (and look at the footage on their webcams).
We visited Newport, Depoe Bay and Canon Beach in our search for the whales and each stop had its own charm. Depoe Bay had the feel of an English Seaside resort and our Fish and Chips lunch confirmed my thoughts – freshly caught and cooked with crispy batter, yummy. We had a late afternoon walk along Canon Beach, so picturesque with the sun setting and the sea, at last, calming.
Then it was back to the city and packing of suitcases. Portland is not the easiest of cities to travel to from Europe as there are few direct flights (and not a daily event). Our return journey required 3 flights with a total of 7 hours sitting in 2 airports so learning that Delta are commencing daily direct flights from London is good news. We left Portland midday Sunday and arrive at Newcastle upon Tyne at 6.00pm on Monday (even allowing for the time difference it was long and exhausting). We collected our luggage, met the minibus to the car park, collected the car keys and placed suitcases into the boot. Turned the ignition key – nothing! You just have to laugh.
(PS – we arrived home at 8.00pm thanks to the RAC and their jump leads)

I recently upgraded Adobe Lightroom Classic CC and was pleasantly surprised to see Adobe has upgraded the tethered capture feature to be camera specific – there is an option for Canon and another for Nikon, Sony etc.
The most welcome addition is the increased functionality in the tethered window which now allows remote control of aperture, shutter and ISO along with the older shutter trigger button. I also noticed there is some feedback now, it seems faster along with no problems for once – this app used to be buggy and would cut out, necessitating camera restarts etc. Just in the nick of time, as many photogs have begun switching over to other apps for tethered capture out of frustration with it. Good upgrade Adobe! Here is a self-portrait I managed using it from the chair, with the exception of focusing the camera first.
In other news, I put up a couple of videos on YouTube which discuss some backgrounder knowledge that it's good to have if you are getting serious about photography, especially if you are thinking of turning pro. The two videos up so far are admittedly a little abstract, but I was thinking of showing in some future videos how these concepts are so important to understand in your everyday work as a photographer. If you are interested please check them out and tell me what you think. They are at the "Video" link in the above menu.
** Update – March 8, 2019 **
Just lately I have been working heavily with the latest versions of Photoshop 2019 and Lightroom Classic CC. I wish I could say that all is well – but – I have clicked on "Photo –> Edit In –> Photoshop CC 2019" to open a raw file via a copy in Photoshop and have had Lightroom just sit there. Nothing going on! I would then have to repeat the command. Other issues – after saving out a .psd file from Photoshop which was generated from an original Lightroom "Virtual Copy" I returned to Lightroom. The first time I did this after the update I almost had a heart attack when the file I had been working on for two hours seemed to be unchanged in Lightroom after the save out from Photoshop. Yikes! Fortunately when I clicked on the thumbnail it updated. Not used to this kind of performance – these are new problems that didn't exist in previous versions of Lightroom in my experience. So my praise above re: tethering has been tempered now with some pretty buggy performance elsewhere in Lightroom, and there currently is no upgrade available for the program. Hope they fix it fast….
