Marriage is amazing and it's worth preparing for so we set time aside for couples who are approaching marriage. Marriage is a gift but it takes work & patience to love each other. City Lights offers a comprehensive course for couples who are preparing for marriage. The course is run by Dave and Megan Shepherd. There is nothing better than being married. While the odds seem to be stacking against lifelong marriages, there is no reason why yours shouldn't be a great one. You really are #bettertogether. The course runs over the 5 weeks and includes subjects like:
- The Nature of marriage – "Where is it from and what is it for?"
- Getting your needs met – "What's in it for me…I mean you…no me..?"
- Acknowledging and loving our differences
- Husbands and wives – "Who does what and how do we decide!?"
- Flash Points
- Communication and conflict
These sessions are covered in a relaxed, easy atmosphere with a small group of up to six couples. Typically an evening will begin with drinks and snacks and then move on to an hour or so of teaching and discussion. A cost of R300 per couple covers all printing materials and snacks. In the past we have tried to do the last session over dinner, and if the group agrees we will do that again at a reasonable additional cost. If you are engaged or preparing to be married within the next four months, we would love you to join us.

CSG Recession Busters 10

Our panel of Industry Experts and authors of CSG Through The Ages, brings you this year's series: Recession Busters
Businesses need vision, strategy, and the right leadership to find success even in a tough economy.
Using the vast CSG database of historical data and inside knowledge of each industry, our expert panelists have followed the trends for the last decade and selected the Top 10 companies in each segment that survived the recession.
Each month we reveal a top company that weathered the storm. We will examine what they did, how they did it, and where they are going in the future.
Apparel & Department Store Retailers
Boot Barn, Inc. was founded in 1978 and is based in Irvine, CA. Boot Barn's website states the company offers more than 8,000 styles of the top brands of boots, jeans, shirts, hats, belts, jewelry and more. The company is ranked in the top 25 shoe retailers in Chain Store Guide's database of Department Stores.
Most of the top shoe company's growth came in the last 8 years. Since 2007, when there were 35 Boot Barn locations, the company grew 371%. The leading shoe retailer has opened 37 new Boot Barn stores in the last year and a half alone. Boot Barn Inc. currently operates 165 stores in 25 states and plans to open at least 17 more new locations next year.
Over the past several years, Boot Barn continuously opened new locations and also made a few major acquisitions. In 2012, Boot Barn acquired RCC Western Stores, including the company's 29 stores and online retail website. Boot Barn stores were mainly located in the Western half of the United States while RCC had a strong presence in the Midwest and South. Bringing the store count to 116, the combined company created the largest specialty retailer in the industry with stores coast to coast. In 2013, Boot Barn acquired Baskins stores including its 30 retail locations, bringing the company total to 147 by years end. Because of their acquisitions and aggressive expansion into the niche market, Boot Barn was able to thrive throughout the recession.
Led by CEO Jim Conroy, Boot Barn Inc. will continue to grow while maintaining the good business qualities of a family-run company. Just last month, the fast-growing chain completed its initial public offering. The company sold almost 6 million shares of its common stock, which trades under the symbol "BOOT." Now that the company must file an annual report, we will all have the pleasure of seeing its growth.
Discount, Dollar, & Hardware Retailers
And Then There Was Amazon…
Since its inception two decades ago, Amazon has done a lot more than survive and actually thrive the recession. First the company had to establish a reputation of reliability as it sought to usher in selling retail without the implementation of actual stores or traditional catalogs, during the introduction of Internet merchandising. During its early years the company had to use its corporate wits to overcome the many obstacles of selling through the new medium that was then a somewhat obscure Internet. Thus it survived the bloodbath which was the bursting of the Internet bubble, where many web-based companies and investors discovered oblivion.
Amazon was founded just more than a decade prior to the arrival of the recession. Originally promoted as a 'new era' mega-discount retailer of books, the company had to initially explain that as it operated no physical stores the company should be viewed as an enormous warehouse which avoided many of the real estate and personnel costs bogging down traditional retailers. Amazon then boasted how the company eagerly passed those savings onto a rapidly expanding customer base.
Soon, as the book business became rapidly successful, Amazon quickly expanded product offerings with complimentary products such as movies and CDs, then on to electronics, hardware and newer frontiers. After that it seemed the sky was the limit in terms of additional products which neatly fit under Amazon's offerings umbrella. The incredible scope of product offering has significantly increased, in part due to acquisitions of like-minded, well managed Internet retailers such as Zappos.
Amazon has been incredibly innovative as a retailer and has been copied by many traditional companies across the retailing spectrum. After Amazon experienced great success in offering its website to third party vendors, traditional retailers followed. Best Buy for one has added a considerable number of third party sellers to its website though with some degree of confusion amongst customers who question the consistency of policies such as returns from other vendors. They also note that some of these products and brands are often no longer in Best Buy stores, which gives the appearance that Best Buy is short in terms of the diversity of popular brands compared to other brick and mortar establishments.
Amazon was a pioneer in e-book publishing. Not only did it produce ground breaking contracts with publishers of tradition paper fare, it remains successful in developing and selling e-readers, alongside its ever-growing offering of tablets and now devices which enhance the functionality of television. This as Barnes & Noble struggles to maintain its shrinking core of proprietary e-readers.
Amazon's drive to offer as close to free shipping as possible, resulted in the annual subscription-based Amazon Prime. To sweeten the offer and lock in many more devoted subscribers/customers, Amazon included a free subscription to its video catalog; this actually hit Netflix rather hard. As with Netflix, Amazon now too produces films and TV style series offered directly through its subscription services. Speaking of innovations, for a 20 year old company, Amazon was one of the first principal retailers to expand Black Friday deals to a virtually November month-long event. Amazon was also instrumental in establishing cyber-Monday on a par with Black Friday.
As with many retailers which survived the recession, much of Amazon's recessionary success was set in place by solid business innovations planned and executed well before the recession was on the horizon. At the turn of the century Amazon's annual sales were approaching $3 billion. Amazon began the recession with annual sales nearing $15 billion. Three years later their annual revenues more than doubled that figure. Annual sales at the end of 2013 were just under $75 billion.
So much for the challenges of an Internet-only startup, when the Internet itself was a startup enterprise. No bubble to burst. No recessionary setback, only bold advancement.
Drug Store & HBC Chains
A key driver in the ongoing retail clinic market expansion, MinuteClinic has experienced steady growth since becoming a part of CVS Health. The partnership between MinuteClinic and CVS began in 2004 with the opening of its first walk-in clinics in the Minneapolis area; later in 2006, CVS acquired the company. Today, there are more than 800 locations inside CVS/pharmacy stores in 28 states and D.C.
Both CVS and MinuteClinic have evolved today into more of a true healthcare destination rather than just a traditional pharmacy or retail establishment. CVS recently changed its name to CVS Health to coincide with the ending of tobacco sales in its stores.
Earlier this year, MinuteClinic celebrated 20 million patient visits since its inception in 2000. The company has benefitted from a number of factors throughout the recession, as well as offering a unique formula for consumers. The convenience of being able to walk into a CVS clinic with no appointment, with insurance or not, and during non-business hours gave the company a distinct competitive advantage against traditional healthcare providers. This, combined with 2014's Affordable Care Act's large enrollment increasing demand for healthcare options, has helped MinuteClinic's growth throughout the nations' tough economic conditions over the past decade. Long-term, the company projects to have more than 1,500 clinic locations nationwide by 2017.
Grocery & C-Store Chains
While there is a plethora of negative things someone can say about Walmart, there is one thing that no one can deny; they found a need, filled it, created a brand, and capitalized on it. The need: low priced items. The brand: Save Money, Live Better. The money: taking grocery sales from an estimated $63 billion in 2007 to $142 billion today, an increase of more than $79 billion in just 7 years. Because the store is focused on providing the lowest costs to its customers, not only did the company thrive during the Recession, but it prospered from it. Consumers were forced to look for cheaper shopping solutions in every retail area and what better place to look than Walmart?
While Sam Walton opened the first store, in Rogers, AK, in 1962, groceries weren't added to stores until 1988 and the Neighborhood Market concept wasn't created until 1998. Unlike the traditional store format which averages 106,000 sq.-ft. or the supercenter format which averages 182,000 sq.-ft., the Neighborhood Markets average 38,000 sq.-ft. and primarily focus on food retailing. The development of this concept gave the company an opportunity to be located in new communities and compete with leading supermarkets for a greater percentage of market share. According to Business Insider, while under the leadership of CEO David Glass, between 1988 (when groceries were introduced to stores) and 2001, Walmart became the largest food retailer in the US and grocery sales reached $56 billion.
Now that the US is slowly pulling itself out of the Recession, many Americans can afford to shop at nicer, more expensive grocery stores, and they have. This past quarter was the first time in two years the company reported that same-store sales were up. The company is having to remind customers why it is relevant and still worth shopping at. It has its own private label line (one of the largest in the US), organic products, a thriving online website, and has added a new smaller concept to gain entry in urban markets. As the country comes out of the Recession, consumers are now beginning to pay more attention to what their favorite companies are actually doing and transparency is increasingly important. This hasn't been great for Walmart's business and reports of understaffing, overworking, and underpaying are always in the news.
Today, the company is the number one retailer in the world, has 474 Neighborhood Markets, and made $279 billion in total domestic sales last fiscal year. It recently had the most profitable Cyber Monday in history and announced that it plans to add 170 Neighborhood Markets in the next quarter. While the company is definitely a Recession Buster, it is also one to watch. Many Americans still love the company and because the US middle class is shrinking, Walmart will always have a place in lower income communities. But what is at stake is its good name that is already being challenged. How the company deals with the controversies, up-and-coming trends, and stagnant sales will be the true indicator of its long term future.
Restaurant Chains
From Oklahoma to California to Tennessee and a cleaning company entrepreneur to singer/songwriter to world-renowned cupcake baker, Gina "Gigi" Butler has done it all. With just $33 in her bank account, Gigi opened her first store. Gigi's Cupcakes opened on February 21, 2008, at the start of the recession. It was a family affair when Gigi's Cupcakes began to prosper: Gigi's landlord, Alan Thompson (now Gigi's Cupcakes' President), and her father helped develop future franchised locations; her mom assisted in creating cupcake recipes, and her brother, Randall, directed business operations. By May 2008, Gigi's Cupcakes was a fully-operational franchising company.
Since opening day, lines began to form around the block proving that Gigi's Cupcakes was not only going to easily break into the specialty dessert market and succeed, but the company was actually going to dominate it. As a result of franchising and (of course) the cupcakes, the company's locations grew nearly 3,033.3% from 3 locations in 2009 to 94 locations in 2014.
Each Gigi's Cupcakes location is built as a full-service bakery equipped with a fully operational kitchen. This means that specialty cupcakes – White Midnight Magic, Lemon Dream Supreme, Kentucky Bourbon Pie, Italian Cream Cake, Hot Cocoa, and so on – would be baked in-house on a daily basis. There's no doubt that the wide variety of specialty desserts contributes to each location's success; 51 units open more than a year reported average unit volumes of $419,955.
Spanning across 20 states, Gigi's Cupcakes has plans to open an additional 25 franchised-locations in 2015. Last month, the company crossed international waters and announced a 100-unit franchise agreement in South Korea over the next few years.

"Watson is a master of invention….Each paintings tells a specific story, but the most impressive feature is the artist's use of colour…. Like Matisse, Watson knows that one may have warm and cool shades of red, warm and cool shades of blue. But he knows this instinctively, without any formal training. What he knows cannot be verbalised, and cannot be taught, yet no one could see these paintings and not be convinced of its profundity.'

In a mixed-age classroom it's important to know yourself well as a mathematician. What types of math feel easy to you, and which strategies or concepts are challenging? Below you'll find a list of links to helpful math websites that compliment the work we do in the classroom. Sometimes I may direct you to a specific site that I think you'll find helpful, but feel free to explore any of the sites on your own to see what feels useful or interesting. Don't forget to note on your homework menu when you visit a math site!
This site has all kinds of activities broken down by grade level. I noticed that in the first grade section there's a lot of helpful information about identifying and counting money. Some of the site is free, but some of it requires a subscription. Contact me for login information.
This video reviews the place value work we've been doing in class. It's clear and easy to understand.
Math Magician
This site is similar to the Mad Minutes we do in class. You have to solve a certain number of problems within a minute, and then it tells you what percentage you got right. The only thing I don't like about this site is that it doesn't tell you which ones you missed. This is a good site for helping you learn your math facts in a snap!
This site is FILLED with really interesting math activities and strategies. If you're into math puzzles check out the "scratch addition" page and see if you can learn the strategy. It's super cool!
This site can help you build your math vocabulary. Click on a math word and a definition complete with an informative illustration pops up.

Raggedy sneakers tracking in school playground sand on a daily basis, cleaning countless toothpaste spots off the bathroom mirror every couple of days, wiping up spilled drinks at the dinner table and untangling the knots in her necklace each time she wants to wear it. Holding your breath while transporting the smelly shin guards and soccer cleats, buying new ballet tights when the holes get too noticeable, and trying not to brag too much to others of the incredible accomplishments of your child. This is motherhood.
P&G commercial, motherhood is the best and hardest job in the world. While we keep our children under our immediate care for only about 1/4 of our life, it is something that changes us completely and prepares and affects them for their lives in ways that we honestly can not imagine. I want to always remember these years...the good and the bad. The easy and the hard. The most rewarding aspects and the heartbreaking ones. Like I have told so many new mothers lately...it sounds like such a cliche', but it goes by so fast. You will always be a mother to your children, but you only have these few years in their childhood to make the most difference in their lives. Experience it with them...and enjoy every aspect of it.
This is motherhood.

2015 Another Big Year For Sherlock Holmes
We have a real mix of new titles coming in 2015 - there are many novels, new authors, and some new books from our established MX Holmes author team.
We start the year with a quite brilliant idea from Wendy Fries - a book with fifty different ways Holmes and Watson could have met.....
26th January - From an 1879 Kabul train station to a King's College lecture theatre in 2015, The Day They Met includes stories both classic and contemporary, offering fifty intriguing new ways that the world's most legendary partnership might have begun.
13th February - a very unusual and fascinating debut novel from screenwwriter Hamish Crawford. The Best and Wisest Man tells the story of the years 1889-1893 through the eyes of Mary Morstan. This blend of fact and fiction sheds light on a virtually unexplored dimension of the Great Detective's exploits. It is a perspective Sherlock Holmes —who elevated "true, cold reason … above all things" - would probably not appreciate.
19th March - Teresa Wimmer brings a modern Sherlock Holmes story - 'Sherlock Holmes and The Missing Helmets'. John Watson and his girlfriend plan to go skiing in the German Alps, but because Sherlock Holmes is bored, he comes along with them. Instead of a relaxing holiday, a series of mysterious skiing accidents awaits them. Sherlock and John soon discover that those accidents apparently did not happen accidentally.
26th March - Darkness comes to March in the form of Golems Shadow - The Fall of Sherlock Holmes. Autumn 1903 has not been kind to Sherlock Holmes. Irene Adler, his platonic love, is dead, and the detective has again fallen into the clutches of cocaine. The second Holmes novel from Czech master Petr Macek tackles the dark legend of the Golem.
12th April - Also sees a return to traditional collections for our #1 bestselling author David Marcum. From Russia to India, David's 'Papers of Sherlock Holmes' (Vol 1 & 2) have been international bestsellers in the tens of thousands of copies. He's back with 'Sherlock Holmes - Tangled Skeins'.
15th April - a new collection from Gregg Rosenquist - if you like your Sherlock Holmes short story patiches traditional, then 'Sherlock Holmes - The Pearl of Death and Other Early Stories' will be an ideal choice.
22nd April - volume 2 of The Final Tales of Sherlock Holmes - The Hampstead Ponies. In this series of five short stories, Holmes and Watson continue their late investigations into dark crimes in 1920s London, joined by their excitable housekeeper at 221B Baker Street, the brilliant, buxom Miss Lily Hudson, and by Jasper Lestrade of Scotland Yard, the ambitious, respectful son of the late George Lestrade.
18th May - The time before Watson has been uncharted, until now. 'When the Song of the Angels is Stilled - A Before Watson Novel - Book One' is the beginning of a very esciting new series. It is Spring, 1874, and twenty-year-old Sherlock Holmes is a lonely, mopey, friendless Oxford student. He attends classes and spends countless solitary hours conducting chemical experiments, reading, and playing his violin. Suddenly, his life changes because of a serendipitous moment on campus.
25th May - The Egyptian Curse - This exciting historical mystery concludes the Enoch Hale – Sherlock Holmes trilogy that began with The Amateur Executioner and continued with The Poisoned Penman.
15th June - Sherlock Holmes books for children are very rare and June brings a very special one. In 'Imogene and The Case of The Missing Pearls' a day after Imogene's obnoxious step-cousins pay a visit, her mother's pearls go missing. When Sherlock Holmes is called in, Imogene, harboring a secret desire to become a detective, sees her chance to learn from the great Mr. Holmes.
4th July - fully revised 2nd edition of the first McCabe and Cody book by Dan Andriacco - No Police Like Holmes
19th July - brings the most unusual book we've ever published. A pastiche in verse. In 'Sherlock Holmes and The Menacing Moors'. a call from an old comrade has Holmes chasing a reported agent of Satan between the towering tors and bottomless bogs of Dartmoor only to find the limits of his own confidence and his Public's esteem. Only Watson stands his friend but even his patience is stretched. Sherlock's retreat to the bees of Sussex serves only to show him that his skills are unique and are desperately needed elsewhere. On returning to London, Holmes finds malign forces have been bringing ridicule to his doorstep. In this tale, the Great Sleuth is brought to life, uniquely, in expressive verse, a favourite form of the author who loves the language of Sherlock Holmes and the Menacing Moors.
29th July - Accompanied by Holmes and Watson, Mrs. Hudson crosses the ocean to attend the wedding of her cousin's daughter. They disembark to discover that the young lady's fiancé, a pitcher for the Brooklyn Bridegrooms, stands accused of an attempt on the life of JP Morgan and the death of his aide - Mrs Hudson in New York
5th August - From Montague Street to a supposedly straightforward case of smuggling in Cornwall, Scotland Yard saw more than the disconcerting and dazzling private detective: it also saw an admirable and steadfast British soldier who shared their need for justice. Doctor John Watson may call himself unremarkable, but the Yard would disagree...- You Buy Bones: Sherlock Holmes and his LondonThrough the Eyes of Scotland Yard

Pass-through in dollarized countries: should Ecuador abandon the US dollar?
In this article, we examine the convenience of dollarization for Ecuador today. As Ecuador is strongly integrated financially and commercially with the United States, the exchange rate pass-through should be zero. However, we sustain that rising rates of imports from trade partners other than the United States and subsequent real effective exchange rate depreciations are causing the pass-through to move away from zero. Here, in the framework of the Vector Error Correction Model, we analyse the impulse response function and variance decomposition of the inflation variable. We show that the developing economy of Ecuador is importing inflation from its main trading partners, most of them emerging countries with appreciated currencies. We argue that if Ecuador recovered both its monetary and exchange rate instruments, it would be able to fight against inflation. We believe such an analysis could be extended to other countries with pegged exchange rate regimes.

What happens when you invite architecture and engineering firms to join construction companies in an effort to help feed the more than 800,000 local residents who go to bed hungry every night?
We want the people who matter the most to us to be safe, but our homes are full of hazards. Safety Director Dave Murphy shares what it means to have a safety mindset and some resources you can use to keep your family safe.
Due to current and projected growth, Aver needed a construction partner who would keep them engaged and adjust as their business evolved. By bringing Pepper on board early, they made cost-effective decisions to meet their budget.
Historic restorations are a mix of preservation and progress. That's why today's renovations involve both time-tested techniques and the latest technology. For the restoration of Barrington's White House, there was value in using both to solve project challenges.
When evaluating the needs and options for your facility, one of the primary deciding factors is cost. Understanding the costs of construction and early contractor involvement will help ensure you have an accurate estimate.
The construction industry is not known for innovation. In the process of sharing lessons learned through our quality program, we've also captured best practices and uncovered some truly innovative ideas. Learn how.
Repetition allows for tighter project controls, but it also opens the door to safety complacency. Director of Safety Dan Ruane explains how THA best practices and owner involvement can improve jobsite safety performance.
What does it mean to be connected? VP of Technology Howie Piersma shares what he learned from chairing the AGC-IT Forum Conference that took place last week.
Information about best practices and lessons learned are two topics owners often request. But how do we ensure that what we learn on one job gets applied to the next? Pepper's Director of Training Carol Dougherty shares the science behind how people in construction tend to learn, retain and apply information.
Incorrect use of vapor retarders leads to an increase in moisture related problems within the wall and the health of the building and its occupants. Learn the science behind how vapor travels and how retarders should be installed.

Bridgewater is a New Jersey Transit railroad station on the Raritan Valley Line, in Bridgewater, New Jersey. The station sits on the site of the former "Calco" station that served American Cyanamid prior to its closure. It was reconstructed in 1999 in conjunction with the construction of TD Bank Ballpark, and the ballpark's White Lot is used for station parking. The station has two short side platforms that can only berth two cars. The station house (on the eastbound side) only contains some benches, maps, and heaters. Ticket vending machines were installed on the inbound platform in June 2011. The station is not ADA accessible at this time. The parking lot will be under new management WLABT LLC. (Somerset Patriots) at $4 daily and $150 quarterly as of June 1, 2009. Somerset Patriots fans will continue to pay $2 per game.
Bridgewater station is proposed to be turned into the last stop on New Jersey Transit's proposed revival of the West Trenton Line. West Trenton Trains will run southwest from here to the West Trenton SEPTA station in Ewing, and continue east along the Raritan Valley Line to its terminus at Penn Station in Newark.

Real Estate Law
Have Real Estate Law Questions? Ask a Real Estate Lawyer.
Good morning. My name is ***** ***** I look forward to helping you.
In order for there to be a binding and enforceable contract, there must be a meeting of the minds. And, if the acreage amount is materially different than the contract, there really isn't a meeting of the minds. The language to which you refer is applicable to situations where there are minor differences in the actual acreage, But not a 25% differential. So, the buyer would clearly have the right to terminate and get the earnest money returned in full because the acreage is substantially different than what was represented, which is something the seller either knew or should have known. On whether or not the seller can terminate, that's not quite as black and white because the seller should have known the amount of the acreage more closely and if the buyer were to insist on closing for the higher amount and pursued a suit if the seller did not agree, the court may very well insist that the seller close because all this arose due to something the seller knew or should have known.
Thank you so much for allowing me to help you with your questions. I have done my best to provide information which fully addresses your question. If you have any follow up questions, please ask! If I have fully answered your question(s) to your satisfaction, I would appreciate you rating my service as OK, Good or Excellent (hopefully Good or Excellent). I thank you in advance for taking the time to provide me a positive rating!

Been making life beautiful since '95
Been making life beautiful since '95
One of the most important days of your life is when you say "I do." and begin that journey and adventure of living life together. Every detail has been carefully planned, compromises have been hashed out, and the price of losing sleep has been paid. It's no secret that the big day will be full of excitement, nerves, surprises and memories.
Wedding photography is an investment. You are investing in the one thing that will last from that day so when the day goes by in one amazing, happy blur, you know you will never forget. You will have the chance to slow down and cherish those memories for a lifetime. It's your love story.
Real talk. My life is an insane balance of motherhood, entrepreneurship, instructing, and cuddling up on the couch playing xbox with my dark and handsome ;) Most days, I work from my couch as a graphic artist and photographer with my hair in a messy bun and a cup of coffee in front of me which I never seem to finish! I cannot live without sunshine and spend most afternoons outside sprawled on a quilt with my daughter who never ceases to make me laugh.
Most people describe their first impression of me as this short, barefoot, tattooed girl kicking ass and then teaching others to do the same. I've been an instructor for Krav Maga since 2014 and nothing is as exhilarating or empowering than challenging your mind, body and soul in intense training. On the flip side, others have commented that they were attracted to this genuineness about me when we first met that allowed them to feel open and comfortable with me. "We instantly clicked," they say. And I believe that is my greatest gift; empathy.
My photography style? It's striking, raw, and genuine. I want to capture this scene in your life's story, to tell all the angles and plot twists of this moment. I'm not looking for forced smiles or awkward poses. Trust me, I've been there and the last thing I want is for you to feel uncomfortable or silly. I'm looking for the lingering, loving look on your fiancé's face because the only thing in their world is you. The hopeful glow of a new senior, smiling as they get ready to take on the world. Every tired, happy smile you share as new parents and the love you have for your new life. The confident smile playing on your lips as you admire the lace and straps accentuating the beauty of your own body.
Years from now, I want you to look back on these moments and get goosebumps remembering all the little things about that moment in time. I want every photo to be rich in bold tones, vividly capturing your genuine emotion.
I would love to start a conversation! Please fill out the form below so I can easily answer any questions or address any concerns right off the bat so we can see if we're the perfect fit!
I was born and raised here in the Triangle, even delivered my daughter at the same hospital I was born at! Whether you enjoy curling up at a cozy coffee shop, sharing a beer at a local brewery, old-timey soda shoppes vibes, or just hanging out downtown, I know a place for you. Let's meet up and chat!

Nothing here is as it looks. Beautiful, unexpected, warm, Sevilla seduces. She gives to the will a sweet dumbness, a slow fall into a permissive mood, nothing is important but here and now, tomorrow shall never come, logic is one more illusion, forbid is a way to refine pleasures, let yourself be, we live waiting to be seduced.
The streets of the city has been shaped to get lost, to hide, to yield to the temptation of leaving the established direction. They snake one into the other, hiding and unveiling a constant offer of new ways to please the senses through the beauty of the landscape. It is easy to forget, easy to loose the direction, easy linger on the illusion of a neverending present, nothing is important but here and now, tomorrow shall never come.
People is leaded by the feeling of a moment, they have an inconstant ever changing mood. Ambiguity is the lord of a restless social game that makes personal relationships a softer ground where to step carefully. Truth has no value here, gestures and words are instruments to make art out of the daily life. We are allowed to do everything but in the shadow, smile and hide and be the smartest, freedom has no value if you don't know chains. The higher moment of the emotion is the imagination, when the desire is perfect, pure, not fulfilled yet, free to grow till the edge of madness to suddenly step back, just before to be fully pleased, but the game has to start again. Desire ends only whit satisfaction. Friendship and love are form of desire: approach people here is like grabbing a wave.
Deep, complex, contrasting, simply different, full of memories and thirsty of future, Sevilla is an exotic labyrinth on the southern edge of Europe, a place to imagine pleasures finer than reality, to be surprised, to leave the certainty and test yourself.

If you want to ride with a group of likeminded cyclists, we're departing at 8am on November 3, 2017 from Mulberry Gap. Ride as slow or as fast as you want. There is no prize for finishing first, except first dibs on the hottub at the Gap.
Plan for 3 days to ride the route at a strong, but enjoyable pace. It's totally doable in 2 or less, but I promise it's not as easy as it may look on paper.
For now, only 35 spots are open for the group ride. Spots are first come, first served. Registration has not been posted for this event yet. Details to come.

The module trains its traffic registry by collecting URLs from requests that miss cache inside Drupal's own page cache. These URLs are stored along with their associated cache tags inside this same traffic registry. Now when Drupal invalidates a set of tags because someone edited a page, these tags are used to fetch URLs from the registry and are added to the Purge queue.
Those that remember the cache expiration module for Drupal 7 are familiar with the side effects of some changes not being automatically detected. This module can guarantee very high accuracy since it simply leverages D8's highly innovative tags based caching architecture, which is thoroughly covered by tests that cover edge cases most site builders wouldn't think off. Examples of things that just work are pagers (
/news/?page=10), RSS or Json views (
/rss.xml) and any view or view block, like that one dynamic block placed on
/contact that shows corporate press releases.
Getting started
- Setup the Purge module.
- Make sure that your purger(s) support URL or path invalidations.
drush en purge_queuer_url --yes
drush cset system.performance cache.page.max_age 31536000(year)
drush cache-rebuildto empty Drupal's page cache.
To achieve accurate URL based cache invalidation, it is best to take a head start by training the traffic registry that
purge_queuer_url maintains:
wget -r -nd --delete-after -l100 --spider http://mydrupalsite/
When this process finished, editing any item on your site should result in several URLs being added to the Purge queue (see
drush p-queue-browse). Ordinary website traffic will automatically add new URLs to your traffic registry and won't require any further maintenance.

I'm a bit confused about conflicting information on sowing lupines. One gardening magazine or book stated that the seed needed to be "nicked" at one end and soaked for a specific time frame before planting; another said Mother Nature takes care of all of that when they are outside in milk jugs/containers for the winter months. I'd like to hear from gardeners who have grown lupines what their experiences have been.
Morello cherry lupines
I've grow Lupine Morello Cherry. It's a beautiful variety. I had a good germination rate without nicking or soaking the seeds.
I've also had good germination with it using the wintersowing methods. I'll say that it came up like crazy, transplanted well...but as suspected withered in our southern heat. Ah, well...
Two yrs ago I tried nicking my lupine seeds and germination was poor.
This yr I had excellent germination without nicking.
Im talking Russell variety, and sowed in late spring, so not exactly the same scenario as yours, but from this experience I will not nick any lupine seeds in the future.
Lupines have become one of my very favorite plants!
Lupine don't live very long, so I winter sow some every year. I too have good luck transplanting them. They're definitely worth the little work they cause.

I sealed both of the finished works with glazing medium...but in the next trial, I think I will just buff the wax with a cloth and leave it unsealed.
The phoenix rises, Tag,
Goddess, tag-style.
In the second, the whole thing is beeswax, with wax crayon detail added over it. This has lots of layers because it wasn't until near the end that the idea focused.
I got the beeswax from USA and had to try it out. I love using it, and I really like the effects....but I need to remember to open a window, or use a mask, as it gives you a headache!! Also, I will see if I can find a local supply of beeswax.
For my next attempts, I think I will wax some of my own drawings and paintings.
Here's a link to a very good youtube video on waxing paper.

RPG fans did not be told about Star Frontiers, but for those who never wielded dice, Star Frontiers was, in the simplest terms, like Dungeons and Dragons, but in space. To players of it though, it was so much more. It allowed us to engage our fascination with science and fantasize in a world that could one day exist. That is why the game continues to be played today and why fans continue to write about it. No where is that more true then at the magazine, Star Frontiersman. Ben Logan, who runs the site, is trying to lead a larger revival. So if you are curious about the game or just want to reminisce, drop by his site, check out the Magazine, enjoy the digitized works and most importantly, show your support.

Silverchair - Neon Ballroom
(Sony/Murmur/Columbia, 1999)
Maybe not the music you would guess that I like, but ten years ago in 1999 when this was released I was sixteen years old. Raging with hormones and emotions like all other teenagers. Silverchair was one of the bands that really meant alot to me, maybe especially this album. Neon Ballroom was the third album by the Australian trio, still in their teens themselves and maybe at the peek of their creative powers. Even though in my humble opinion Diorama from 2002 is their masterpiece, if they have one.
If you put on Neon Ballroom today it may sound a little dated. The band obviously were big fans of Nirvana and the whole grunge-wave of the early nineties, as were I. Anyhow, it's a bit fun to listen back to it now - so many memories that pop up in my mind. Some good, others really really embarassing. The most embarassing is to think of how much the somewhat cliche-filled lyrics meant the world to me. Some samples underneath.
From "Emotion Sickness"
"Emotion sickness
Addict with no heroin
Emotion sickness
Distorted eyes
when everything is clearly dying"
From "Black Tangled Heart"
"Maybe you'll kill yourself
Before I get a turn
Maybe I'll fall in love
And never learn"
That said, the record is quite good - maybe not so great now that I am in my mid-twenties, but for every teenager there still is enough of teenage angst and emotional lyrics going on here. My favourites at the time were "Anthem for the Year 2000", "Ana's Song (Open Fire)", "Miss You Love" and "Black Tangled Heart". Needless to say, I was a sucker for the ballads with emotional lyrics.
"Ana's Song (Open Fire)" is a song about the songwriter and vocalist Daniel Johns struggle with anorexia at the time. A song I guess others in the same situation would relate to and I myself thought and still thinks are quite gripping.
So, that's the time machine for you.
Silverchair - "Ana's Song (Open Fire)"

Latest release version[edit]
Wietse, for your edification, the infobox parameter "latest release version" should contain the latest version of the most recent stable branch of the software. Other stable versions can be mentioned in the text. Mindmatrix 21:46, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
Expectations versus reality[edit]
Sorry, I see a conflict between expectations and reality.
With ordinary software, people have come to expect that only the "highest" release version is "good", and that all "lower" release versions are "bad" because they contain security holes.
In other words, ordinary software has effectively only one release (the latest).
With Postfix, this expectation is not just wrong, the reality is exactly the other way around. There are multiple "good" Postfix releases. The Postfix release number is not an indicator for quality. Instead, the release number is an indicator for the available feature set.
The latest "lower" stable releases, 2.4.14 and 2.5.10 from March 22 2010, are the "best" Postfix releases. They contain all applicable errata from "higher" release versions. The "lower" release versions are the most secure because they do not contain recent code that has more bugs.
Therefore, if we must surrender to the "list only one stable release" dogma, then we should list Postfix 2.4.14 or 2.5.10 as the latest stable release in the sidebar, if only because they were released later than the 2.6.6 one.
Alternatively, we could address the limitations of the dogma, and allow for the possibility that a system can have more than one "good" stable release version. In the case of Postfix, these are called supported legacy releases, With other software, there could be multiple supported parallel variants for other reasons. For example, there used to be "conventional" and "trusted" versions of the same operating system that offered the same basic system interfaces, but that differed in the presence or absence of security auditing facilities.
Wietse venema (talk) 15:45, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
- Wietse, I completely forgot about this discussion. My apologies.
- To address your concern, it's not so much dogma as it is the limitations of pre-formatted templates used for creating infoboxes on Wikipedia. To ensure correct formatting, the template requires one entry. I've added a history section to the article, currently just a table of releases from 2.5.0 onward. You can elaborate about version stability and legacy support in that section. As the table may become quite long, a possibility is to split the release history into its own article (as is done with History of FreeBSD, for example), and retain a subset in the main article for the latest releases from each branch (or any supported stable and legacy releases).
- As an aside, the Postfix announcements page needs a small tweak - releases for 2011 and 2012 are merged under 2011. Mindmatrix 23:02, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the update. I have fixed the announcements page which seems to have suffered from tunnel vision. I don't think it makes sense to have the full release history on the Postfix(software) page; my idea was to list only the few supported ones. However the current format of release/preview is acceptable. It's more urgent to make time to fix the text.
Wietse venema (talk) 00:13, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
The disclaimer about lack of supporting citations[edit]
Over the past 4 weeks or so I restructured most of the text, and added pointers to other Wikipedia pages that cover related topics. I wonder if the disclaimer is still needed at this point. Wietse venema (talk) 18:07, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
August 2013[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Postfix (software), but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Kiko4564 (talk) 22:51, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
Multiple stable releases, revisited[edit]
Hi again. I just discovered a template created a few months ago that may be of use to you. It is {{Multiple stable software releases}}, which enables the insertion of (as the name suggests) multiple stable software release versions into an infobox. The documentation cites the example of Opera Mini (which has stable versions for different OSes), the entries for which are stored in Template:Multiple stable software releases/Opera Mini. I think this is exactly what you were looking for in 2010 (based on our discussion above). If so, use the Opera Mini template as a guide to create Template:Multiple stable software releases/Postfix, update the infobox in the article to use
|multiple releases=yes, and move the latest* parameters to the template as appropriate, using {{LSR}} and {{LPR}}. I hope this helps! Mindmatrix 17:03, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks. I took a quick look, and the "documentation" (actually an example) says this template is "intended for software that is differently versioned from platform to platform". Postfix versions are not tied to any particular OS or hardware platform, so maybe I can try to specify "Postfix majorversion.minorversion" where Opera Mini has "Blackberry", "Symbian", etc. Do you know if there is "real documentation" for how these templates are supposed to be used? There is a lot of unexplained content in the Opera Mini template source. Wietse venema (talk) 18:49, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, many templates have weak documentation, if any. This template was created in April, and apparently only used on two articles so far, so little attention has been paid to it. I had meant to suggest what you stated about specifying versions for Postfix, so I'd just go with that. As far as the template is concerned, each entry has two components: the first is
|Name of OS, which in your case you could set to "Postfix 2.8" etc. (or whatever format you choose); the second is {{LSR}} or {{LPR}} as appropriate.
articlewould be set to "Postfix (software)", and the other parameters are fairly straightforward, I think. The contents in the <noinclude> section are relevant to the template only, and are not transcluded into the pages using the template (ie - Category:Latest stable software release templates won't show up in Postfix (software) by using the template).

- After further investigation, I found that {{Multiple stable software releases}} is currently only implemented in the {{Infobox web browser}} template, so you'll have to wait to use it until it's added to {{Infobox software}}. This may take some time, as {{Infobox software}} is transcluded by over 11,000 articles, so changes to it are made with great care to ensure there's no broken transclusions. I'll try to find someone interested in making this change, or maybe make it myself, but it'll take some time. Mindmatrix 21:12, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
