West Coast Trip a Success, Final Stretch of Regular Season UnderwaySaturday, April 20 2019 - Arcadia Invitational - Anthony Maida
Making the trip to California as a 4x1600m relay team for the third year in a row, the Eagles once again posted a successful outing at the prestigious Arcadia Invitational, finishing seventh out of twenty-five teams in the seeded section and twentieth out of forty-nine teams overall in the elite field.
The quartet of Ryan DeSantis, A.J. Fundator, Anthony Maida and Michael Villa also combined to record the second fastest time in school history in the event, finishing in 18:14.92, behind a team leading split of 4:28 by Maida in the anchor position.
Back in Illinois, the rest of the Eagles traveled to York High School in Elmhurst, Ill. for a triangular with the host school and Palatine High School. Leading the way in the Midwest were breakout races from a duo of newcomers, as junior Justin Chen recorded a massive personal best in the 400m dash clocking in at :54.7, while freshman Sam McCain broke the 2:20 barrier for the first time with a 'PR' of 2:18.5.
Jones also fielded numerous season and personal best performances in the 3200m run, led by sophomore Aaron Hou's 'top-ten' sophomore mark of 10:05.5 and junior Baito Sarkiss' personal best run of 10:18.9. Other highlights included season best performances from Jeremy Yakes, Andy Niser and Eddie DeKoven, who made his premiere in the event, while numerous Eaglets also made their debut in the event, with impressive performances by freshmen Alan Menninger, Ethan Sterling, and Alexander Papadopoulos.
Sophomores Luke Benes and Drew Blackledge were the top Jones finishers in the 1600m run recording personal bests of 4:49.1 and 4:52.1, respectively, in addition to a big day from Antony Rizk, whose performance in the event followed up a 'Sub-11' offering in the 3200m and preceded a career best in the 1600m relay, making it 'three-for-three' for the junior in 'PR's' on the day.
Continuing the momentum the next week for a Thursday night appearance at Lane Stadium, the Eagles posted an impressive outing across the board in the 800m run, as Maida and DeSantis picked up where they left off out west, recording personal best performances in 2:00.17 and 2:02.19. Sophomores Hou and Blackledge also put their names on the top-ten list for sophomores in the event, in 2:02.33 and 2:07.43, respectively, while classmates Benes and Michael Sommese also ran to individual bests.
Highlighting the night however were two new additions to the 'Sub-5 Club' in Rizk and Papadopoulos, making it twenty-two Jones runners below the barrier this season.
To cap off a busy stretch of four meets in seven days, the Eagles traveled to Joliet, Ill. for the #SmithStrong Invitational at Joliet Memorial Stadium. Led on the varsity level by Maida, the junior continued leaving his mark on the all-time best lists at Jones, finishing second in the 3200m run with the seventh best time in school history, 9:35.31, before doubling back to score in the 1600m run with a sixth place finish. Joining him on the sophomore level, Sommese also left his mark in Jones annals with a personal best run of 10:13.35.
Sarkiss also grabbed the final scoring spot in the 800m run, while Hou contributed to scoring in the sophomore 1600m run and the team of Papadopoulos, McCain, Owen Charles and Michael Rizk picked up points in the sophomore 3200m relay.

Amazon will set up its Singapore site early next year.
It is expected to offer electronics with local warranty and give retailers here a run for their money.
The Straits Times understands that the United States-based online retail giant has met local officials and plans to launch here "some time early next year".
Details are scant on where its South-east Asian operations will be located in Singapore.
The Business Times reported that Amazon had leased about 100,000 sq ft in a facility in the Jurong East area.
Amazon, which did not reply to queries by press time, has already put up close to 100 job openings here on its website, with a variety of technology and business positions - some of which require experience in retail operations.
Amazon's global scale and reach in terms of third-party supplier tie-ups have traditionally helped lower the prices of goods on its website.
Consumers here can benefit from the faster shipping and easier returns as the e-tailer is expected to set up a warehouse here.
Amazon has since 2013 been offering free shipping of certain items from the US to Singapore, but orders need to be worth at least US$125 ($170). Items also cannot be too big.
Certain products, including certain laptops, media players and Amazon's Kindle tablet, are not shipped here.
Buyers instead ship these to a US address first before forwarding them to Singapore - incurring higher shipping costs.
Electronic goods, even if shipped here from Amazon's US warehouse, do not come with local warranty.
This means that the buyer of a certain brand of laptop or camera cannot go to the Singapore servicing centre for replacement of parts or repair at no cost covered by the warranty.
They would have to ship it back to the US for servicing.
Retail and marketing analysts believe Amazon's presence here will be of concern to local retailers, especially given the slump in the retail scene.
"Its prowess in the online retail business - from working with third-party suppliers, warehousing and delivery to its online algorithm that recommends goods to online shoppers - will draw customers away from both brick-and-mortar and online retailers," said Dr Seshan Ramaswami, an associate professor of marketing from the Singapore Management University.
In the third quarter of the year, Singapore registered the highest mall vacancy rate - at 8.4 per cent - since 2011, when the Urban Redevelopment Authority began tracking this figure.
Consumer electronics retail chain Challenger Technologies, which reported a 16 per cent drop in third-quarter revenue due to weaker retail sales, said it will "look at ways to collaborate" with Amazon instead of taking it on.
It is known that Amazon allows third-party merchants, including individual sellers, to list their goods on its website to benefit from the reach of its platform and the ease of online payment.
Merchants can also widen their reach if they ship their goods overseas.
Electronics and household products retail chain Courts remains unfazed by the competition, and will continue to invest in warehousing and logistics solutions to meet the rising demand for goods online.
Its country chief executive officer Stan Kim said: "Shoppers will still require accredited and quality service in the way of consultation, installation, servicing and product guarantees."

I am starting to use the Cameo SimToolkit 18.5 SP1 for timeline analysis and have two questions:
1. Is it possible to modify/specify the order in which activities appear on the y-axis? They seem to order at random each time I start up MagicDraw and run my simulation.
2. Is it possible to record results or export a timeline chart in activity mode (timelineMode=activity)? It only seems possible for the 'state' mode (for both recording and exporting).
I apologize if these questions are trivial, I am new to MagicDraw and have been racking my brain over these.
Thank you!

Are you looking for a therapist who is willing to work with you and your child to address behavioral concerns? Are you curious if your child is thriving in their emotional development? As a caregiver, are you wondering how to communicate with your child so that your words have meaning and your child listens to you?! Caitlan Ledin, child and family therapist, is here to help you and your child develop a positive relationship within a healthy environment that allows your whole family to thrive. Caitlan is a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in working with young children who struggle with management of their impulsivities, emotional regulation, anger issues, anxiety, ADHD, trauma history or current trauma and lack in social skills. Caitlan's approach to therapy emphasizes the involvement of the parents to ensure that all of the adults in the child's life are on the same page!
Caitlan has years of experience working with children of all ages ranging from educational & child-care settings to summer camp environments. Her work in a community mental health setting on the early childhood family services team for the past three years has reinforced to her how important the early years are in a child's life. Caitlan's primary concern at the early stages of therapy is connecting with the child and family – she finds that building rapport through play therapy and learning the child's emotional language has led to her quickest and greatest successes as a therapist. Caitlan also offers co-parenting or parenting sessions to meet with the caregivers involved in the child's life and offer them guidance for providing the child the best environment for them to grow in. Caitlan is always open to collaborating with any other professionals or schools that work with the child to help them reach their therapeutic goals.
Caitlan's education background includes a Bachelors in Psychology from the University of Iowa and a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Mount Mercy University in Iowa. Caitlan has committed all of her work life to children, she loves being an optimistic energy for children and she does a great job at making the child feel as comfortable as possible. She is currently getting trained in child-parent psychotherapy, which is a therapy for children that help families heal and grow after stressful experiences. In child-parent psychotherapy the family and Caitlan work together in three stages; getting to know the child and family, addressing families' needs and wrapping up and planning for the future. Caitlan has had a handful of success stories by using child-parent psychotherapy with children who have experienced severe trauma. Caitlan is so excited to meet you and help change you and your child's life in a helpful way!

Shaking up the Industry with Scala
There is soon to be a big change wrought on the programming community, and it is going to be driven by hardware. Processor speed is about as fast as it can be with current technology. To satisfy the need for speed, manufacturers are combining several chips into parallel processors. Multicore is the future and that means concurrent programming.
Concurrent programming is fraught with pitfalls in imperative languages. The root cause is shared state. When two threads modify the same data at the same time, the results are unpredictable. As soon as you enforce immutability, shared state is no longer a problem and concurrent programming becomes a lot easier.
It's not practical to eliminate mutable state from programs written in imperative languages. Changing the values of variables is too fundamental a concept to these languages. Functional languages, on the other hand, have very little mutable state. Almost everything is immutable and this makes them a natural choice for concurrent programming.
I'm reading Seven Languages in Seven Weeks by Bruce Tate. This week was the Scala chapter. Tate predicts the industry is about to enter a transition phase to functional programming and argues that Scala is perfectly positioned to introduce today's programmers to functional concepts.
Scala looks like an incredibly pragmatic language. It targets Java developers (of whom there are a lot) by being built on top of Java. It compiles to bytecode, runs on the JVM and has access to the Java API. Scala fixes some common gripes with Java. The syntax feels familiar but is more concise. It supports operator overloading and type inference. Concurrent code is made easier with Actors. Scala takes the pain out of using regex and has literals and a query language for XML.
From the functional programming side, immutable state is encouraged (but not enforced) and there is good support for recursion, closures, currying and pattern matching. Scala lets you mix functional and imperative paradigms. For most Java programmers, that means mostly sticking to the familiar imperative OO style with the option of throwing in some functional parts when it suits.
Tate argues that this mix of OO and functional programming makes Scala strongly positioned as a transition language. He could be right but other OO languages are gradually incorporating more and more functional features. If this trend continues, I think Java and C# could end up being the transition languages.
Whatever the case, Scala seems to be a language I would enjoy working in. The language seems to have everything I could want and it would be easy to transition to from my Java background. However, for some reason I can't put my finger on I just can't seem to get excited about Scala. For now I think I'll file it alongside C# as a language I'll learn on the job the first time I need to use it.

Robin had done his homework regarding the weather conditions for his planned walk to the Brecon Beacons recently but had conflicting reports ranging from no rain at all, to occasional showers and a rather subdued mountain forecast of a 90% chance of rain – the latter unfortunately being the most accurate.
Three fellow ramblers met him and his cocker spaniel Pepper at Penarth in dry weather for the journey up to the National Park Visitor Centre near Libanus, commonly known as the Brecon Mountain Centre which opened in 1966 and is 335 metres above sea level, but no sooner had they begun than the rain started to fall and continued on and off all throughout the day.
The track leading them towards their intended target of Fan Frynach is always boggy but after all the recent heavy rainfall a new standard of bog-hopping was set up! The bogs of Traeth Mawr and Traeth Bach are both sites of special scientific interest as acidic and alkaline water are found situated in close proximity which helps to create two totally different environments and the growth of many plants that are not usually found in the same area. People are warned not to stray off the marked footpaths as the bogs can be treacherous and you can easily become trapped.
Later finding some shelter by a patch of conifer trees, which was more or less out of the direct wind, the group stopped for the obligatory coffee break.
Pepper who was dressed in his red raincoat looked very Christmassy and after refreshments the group continued along the valley finding that the wind had temporarily abated and the rain eased slightly. So when they began the climb up the path around the base of the mountain on the way to the ridge of Fan Frynach it was almost pleasant with good views towards the central Beacons in the east.
The trig point on Fan Frynach stands at 629 metres and the plateau is marked with hollows from where stone was quarried for roofing and the making of stone walls hundreds of years ago. As the wind was blustery on the ridgeway and as the rain had briefly ceased the group took the opportunity for a quick lunch utilising the shelter of one of the old quarry holes after reaching the trig point.
No sooner had they eaten than the rain began again and fortunately the wind was on their backs as they made their way downhill by way of tracks to return through waterlogged and boggy fields. Returning safely to the mountain centre everyone agreed that the best part of the day was removing wet clothes and boots in order to settle down and enjoy a hot cup of tea and a large slice of carrot cake at the warm but deserted visitor's centre!

Petts Wood: The making of a 1920s garden suburb
by Peter Waymark
Modern Petts Wood
By the outbreak of war in 1939 the Petts Wood suburb was in its essentials complete. Although Basil Scruby's direct involvement had ended some years before, he had left a strong and lasting legacy. His achievement was twofold. First, Petts Wood was a logically planned development, with station, shops, houses and open space all envisaged from the start as part of a coherent scheme. Secondly, Scruby's insistence on an estate of quality with a rural ambience but easy access to the centre of London gave Petts Wood its particular character.
Many of the early residents came from areas closer to the capital, happy to move out to a leafier and more spacious environment. People spoke of Petts Wood as having a "village" atmosphere.
The suburb was lucky to be surrounded by unspoilt countryside. Woods taken over by the National Trust in 1927 provided a welcome amenity to the north of the estate as well as a buffer against further development. After the war more areas of green belt land around Petts Wood were secured, largely through local pressure.
In Petts Wood itself after 1945 there was little new housing, for the estates on both sides of the railway had been virtually completed before the war and left few gaps. A Memorial Hall to commemorate the war dead was completed in 1954 and became a valued community and social centre. Up until the war St Francis was the area's only church and other denominations had to make do with temporary premises. But the 1950s and 1960s saw the building of Congregational (later United Reformed), Methodist and Roman Catholic churches. In the centre of Petts Wood the pressure for office space led to a number of commercial developments, seen by some as compromising the residential nature of the area.
Of more direct and immediate impact was the Safeway supermarket, which opened in 1982 on the site of the Embassy Cinema. With its generous opening hours, later extended to Sundays, 18 checkouts and an extensive range of goods from food to flowers, medicines and kitchenware, it offered "one-stop" shopping and was perfectly suited the needs of a community where increasing numbers of women worked and most households had a car. The casualties were the small shops, grocers, greengrocers, butchers and fishmongers. In their place Petts Wood saw a proliferation of estate agents, hairdressers, restaurants and fast food outlets.
Despite these changes Petts Wood retained much of its village atmosphere, while Scruby's concept of a garden estate, offering a taste of countryside only a short train journey for the centre of London, remained largely intact. For its 15,000 or so residents, it was still an attractive, and convenient, place in which to live.

Abstract: A growing body of evidence suggests that low birth weight (LBW) offspring are associated with long-term structural and functional changes in cardiovascular and neuroendocrine systems. We tested the hypothesis that muscle metaboreflex activation produces exaggerated responses in cardiac autonomic tone (represented by heart rate variability ratio) and cutaneous vascular sympathetic tone (represented by plethysmography pulse wave amplitude) in LBW compared to normal birth weight (NBW) young adults. We recruited 23 LBW (18 females and five males) and 23 NBW (14 females and nine males) University of Zimbabwe students with neonatal clinical cards as proof of birth weight at term. Resting electrocardiogram, pulse waves, and blood pressures were recorded. Participants then underwent a static/isometric handgrip exercise until fatigue and a post-exercise circulatory arrest period of 2 minutes. We observed (results mean ± standard deviation) a greater mean increase in heart rate variability ratio from baseline to exercise for LBW compared to NBW individuals (1.015±1.034 versus [vs] 0.119±0.789, respectively; P<0.05). We also observed a greater mean decrease in plethysmography pulse wave amplitude from baseline to exercise (-1.32±1.064 vs -0.735±0.63; P<0.05) and from baseline to post-exercise circulatory arrest (-0.932±0.998 vs -0.389±0.563; P<0.05) for LBW compared to NBW individuals. We conclude that LBW may be associated with an exaggerated sympathetic discharge in response to muscle metaboreflex.
Keywords: blood pressure, heart rate variability, plethysmography pulse

AINDT Victorian Technical Night was held on Thursday 9th May 2019 at the Golden Gate Hotel in South Melbourne. The presentation on Weld Defect - Causes, Avoidance and Methods of Detection, was specifically focused on arc welding, with detailed descriptions, diagrams and photos of weld defect types, how to detect them and more importantly how to avoid them. The topic was presented by industry expert Jaswinder Rai, who was able to engage with the audience and answer lots of great questions which followed over into the networking event where he was able to talk further with attendees.
The format of the evening was well put together, and Jaswinder's presentation was delivered in line with the allocated timeframe, and included sharing his knowledge as an experienced Welder, Welding Supervisor & NDT Inspector. A special thanks to Jaswinder Rai for putting such an impressive presentation together that connected with the audience, and was very well received.
It was also positive to see increased attendance numbers over that of previous Technical Nights in large part due to the marketing support from Anton Milne in the AINDT Federal office.
On behalf of the AINDT Victorian Branch and our Branch President, Glen Haberl, we thank all who attended the event, and for providing such positive feedback onto the Federal office. We strive to deliver great content at Technical Nights for our members, and we are always open to suggestions for future events.

This year's April's Fools Day landed on the same day as Easter, so I decided to go topical. This year: bunnies!
Instead of reusing a part of Laurasia as I tend to do in these events, I did things differently by working off a copy of Rodinia. This copy had a few notable changes, though: all the torches at Point Zero had been removed, leading to a darker area overall, and all chests were wiped out to prevent people from getting equipped too quickly. The world was permanently set to night time as well.
Some players quickly realized that they had a specific goal to aim for this time around: hunting bunnies! Multiple bunnies were spawning around the place, teasing people with a simple "Catch me!". What wasn't so obvious was the fact that said bunnies were on top of fast-moving, invisible creepers ready to detonate at any time. You could secure some prizes (assuming you were fast enough) by right-clicking on a bunny. Take too long, and you were likely to get blown-up instead! Through what I can only assume to be a plugin bug, the creepers underneath the bunnies would despawn after a while, breaking the right-click functionality.
To add some... ambiance to the area, the only mobs that were allowed to spawn were endermen, spiders and creepers. All were invisible - the endermen and spiders gave eerie stares from their floating, translucent eyes, while creepers would strike without warning as you couldn't tell if one was close by until the final ssssssh.
To complete this, the USS Voyager was hidden in a corner of the world. Nobody found it... or thought to look for it, apparently. It's been included in these maps for five years straight, now!
And now, for some stats:
- 13 players joined in today!
- Some gift giving bunnies were caught!
- On the other hand, ? people got blown up by said bunnies. The logs don't say!
- 0 players managed to catch the Easter Bunny!
- You could get a chance of meeting one by tossing eggs at bunnies.
- 0 managed to find the hidden USS Voyager. You're all slacking off!
Low numbers this year, apparently. I suppose that people had other commitments, considering that this all happened on Easter! I wasn't home, myself, but remotely took care of everything anyway.

Even Mabel is mesmorized by this wind and snow. Our front window is one of her favourite places in our house. She does like to keep tabs on the kids going to school, dogs being walked and cars driving past. She's our personal neighbourhood watch system - at least for half of the day. The other half she's occupied sleeping, rolling around the floor and resting up for the next excitement. So this part kind of defeats the first part.
By mid afternoon Mabel instinctively knows to wait for the girls. She looks out the window, paces around and sometimes even sits right at the door - so close to the door that you can barely get in. Mabel is most content when we are all safely home and I have to say so am I.
One more to go. Dinner is on the stove. Soon we will be gathered around the table sharing our day with each other. Sometimes it can be a pretty brief moment as homework needs to be done, hockey played and pirouettes are twirled but it's these moments that are worth waiting for at the end of the day.

Below are the most frequently asked questions. Please refer to this first to see if your question is answered.
We sell our knives exclusively through Authorized Microtech Dealers. You can find a full list of our authorized dealers on the Find A Dealer page. Dealers can determine availability of knives.
The one exception is our Service Personnel Program. Law Enforcement, Military, and Certified EMT personnel are able to purchase certain products from Microtech directly by filling out the form on our Service Personnel Program page.
Our Maintenance page outlines best practices for the care and maintenance of your knife.
Microtech® Knives do not need to be registered. Our knives are backed by our Lifetime Limited Warranty from the start.
First, ensure that your knife is in fact broken. It may just need cleaning. Please consult our Maintenance page for best practices regarding cleaning and caring for your knife. Additionally, check the answers to some of the following questions regarding knife maintenance.
After cleaning, if you find that your knife still does not function properly, it may need to be sent in for repair. In some cases, the repairs will be covered under the Lifetime Limited Warranty. In the event that the repairs are not covered under warranty, there may be additional costs associated with repairing your knife. If repairs are needed requiring additional charges, you will be contacted by a representative from our Warranty & Repair Department.
When submitting your knife for repair, follow the instructions outlined on our Warranty & Repair page. You will first need to complete and submit the form to obtain your Return Authorization (RA) Number. You will need to include this number with your knife to be repaired. Failure to follow this procedure may delay repair time or cause your knife to become lost in transition.
Additionally, please be aware that certain restrictions apply when shipping automatic knives. Consult the Laws & Regulations page for more detail regarding regulations on automatic knives.
You will need to fill out and submit the Return Authorization Form to receive your RA Number. Consult the Warranty & Repair page for a complete overview of submitting your knife for repair.
Email notifications are sent when we receive the knife and when it ships. During show time, turnaround time of knives can be affected. If it has been an unusually long time with no feedback, we encourage you to Contact us. Please allow 3-4 weeks for the repair process.
The best way to ensure you have an authentic Microtech product is to purchase your knives directly from Authorized Microtech Dealers. Many online auction sites carry counterfeit products, often at prices drastically below MSRP. This is a clear indication that it may not be an authentic Microtech product.
Additionally, consult our Counterfeit Prevention page, which outlines our policies and practices used to avoid and prevent counterfeit products. Here you will also find an overview of criteria that may help to verify that you have an authentic Microtech product.
As with many of our components, the screws used in our knives are proprietary hardware. For this reason, we do not give out specifications regarding screws and other components.
At this time we do not sell the wrench as an individual component. Our knives utilize complex assembly methods and should not be disassembled by anyone other than a trained Microtech technician. Doing so may void your warranty.
Because most of our components are proprietary hardware, we do not sell them individually. We strongly discourage anyone from disassembling their knives. In many cases, people are unable to reassemble them correctly due to our complex assembly processes.
If for any reason you feel you need to replace any of the components in your knife, please Contact us to see if it's something you can do yourself (such as reversing the pocket clip) or if you'll need to send the knife in for repair.
Most of our O.T.F. knives are equipped with a fail-safe mechanism that prevents the blade from locking into place if it comes in contact with anything before being fully deployed. If this happens, your blade will slide loose along the track.
To fix this, hold the body firmly with one hand. With the other hand, pinch the blade between your thumb and index finger; firmly pull the blade into its fully deployed position. The blade should lock into place. You may then use the firing button as normal.
In some cases, dirt and/or debris may prevent the knife from firing correctly. We suggest you consult our Maintenance page for instructions on how to clean and care for your knife. If after cleaning, your knife still does not function properly, you may need to send it in for repair. Our Warranty & Repair page outlines this process in detail.
Improper sharpening will void your knife's warranty. In many cases, improper sharpening will damage the blade, causing the knife to malfunction or worse. This type of damage is not covered under our Lifetime Limited Warranty and may incur additional cost for repair.
We believe Microtech knives to be one of the highest quality production knives on the market. In part because every knife that leaves our factory is hand-sharpened by skilled craftsmen. To ensure you are getting a perfect edge on your blade, we ask that you always send your knife to us for proper sharpening.
Consult the Warranty & Repair page, which outlines the repair process in detail.
Yes, you may send in your knife from overseas. However, please understand that because of international shipping restrictions and US Customs regulations, Microtech cannot be held responsible for lost or confiscated items.
In many cases, due to country laws and regulations, your knife will need to be sent to an authorized dealer.
We ask that you Contact us directly to help facilitate any overseas shipments.
Refurbishment is not covered under our Lifetime Limited Warranty. Subject to availability, replacement components may be available for an additional cost. However, any type of refurbishment will be done at the discretion of our repair technicians only when knives are submitted for repair through the warranty submission process. We do not offer cosmetic refurbishment due to normal wear and tear.
We receive hundreds of inquiries each year and all donations are determined on a case-by-case basis. For more details, please submit your information using the form on the Contact page, selecting "Marketing Opportunities" for the department.
Unfortunately, with Microtech facing a number of counterfeit obstacles, identifying a knife by serial number is not a reliable option as serial numbers can be easily copied / duplicated.
Blades are only replaced during the Warranty Repair process at the discretion of our repair technicians and only for the blade type being repaired. We do not service requests for changing blade types.
Our merchandise shop is now available directly on our website. We may also carry some merchandise at our larger trade show events.
We are unable to ship products from our facility using shipping labels from individuals. Microtech covers return shipping for all RA's.

Perito Moreno Glacier in the Argentinian Patagonia was awe-inspiring.
But I felt closest to the infamous wild frontier spirit of Patagonia when two friends and I wandered off the main trail and came across this aged wooden path.
We stood on the edge of the lake, the ferocious wind slapping us across the face, and I thought to myself; I don't know where I'm going, but this wind assures me that I'm on the right path.


text: First, let us say the best tequila is the one you like. There are various tequilas for various occasions. A good tequila can be sipped with pleasure, like a fine scotch. You can spend from about $7.00 for 750Ml of some white or silver tequila and this could work just fine for that large vat of margaritas at the back yard barbeque. But it is certainly not something you would pour in a glass for a shot, or a small glass to sip on alongside a "sangrita," a tomato-and-citrus beverage. A $200 bottle of tequila will gently land across your palate, cooling it with light vanillas and spice; bringing you gently away from a busy day. There is so much to know about Tequila and depending on your palate and style of cocktail, you can enjoy it many different ways. Click on a picture below for your favorite tequila recipes.

text: I have a Jet wet sharpener (similar to the Tormek) that I've had for several years. I used it to sharpen turning tools and have since gone to a Wolverine system so I don't use the Jet anymore. The stone wheel cracked so I'll need to replace, I'm pretty sure the Grizzly or Tormek stone wheels would fit and there is also a CBN wheel that should fit. One of the issues with the Jet is with the stone running in water, the nut that holds the stone on rusts to the shaft. I'm trying to get the nut off, so far no luck so I'm thinking about cutting the nut off and running a thread chaser over the shaft to clean up the threads and get a new nut. The other option is to replace the shaft, the part is no longer available from Jet. Grizzly has a similar machine with a shaft available, looks the same in the picture but there are no measurements. It's only $12 so it's a minimal risk to try it. Anybody else have the Jet wet sharpener and run into this issue? I don't want to just have this machine sitting around, thought I could get it set up to run and sell it. The CBN wheels that are available run dry so there wouldn't be the rust issue in the future.

Justin Welby has been speaking to Premier in a wide ranging interview and admitted there's no simple answer to the ongoing battles within his Church.
While some claim the Church is moving away from the Bible, others claim a greater welcome needs to be given to LGBT people.
"Is there a simple answer?" he asked. "If there was a simple answer we would have found it. It is a complex of things and every church - not just the Anglicans - every church is struggling and has always struggled between the balance of what holiness looks like and how we treat those who fall short.
"Do we condemn them and expel them? Or do we only let them go on in the Church under certain conditions? Do we ignore it and say it really doesn't matter? Of course not. But the difference between setting the ideal and applying that ideal pastorally has always been a tension for the church and these issues are hugely, hugely, hugely important."
Welby called on those on both sides of the divide to work towards a better understanding of each other.
He said: "It's real people who's lives are deeply impacted and whoever it is, whatever view they take, conservative or liberal, revisionist or orthodox traditionalist, part of it - and I struggle with this, I'm not pretending I find it easy - we have to hear what they are saying.
"The trouble is sometimes people don't feel they have been heard unless they've also been agreed with, which is a bit more complicated."
Offering advice for those in the church who are confused over the issue, he gave three pointers.
"One: read the Bible carefully, not just the bits that you agree with but read it carefully and seek God's wisdom. See how Jesus treated those who thought themselves holy and those who thought themselves sinners.
"Secondly, pray a lot - particularly for those you disagree with. Not that they may be blasted or that they may be removed from the church or whatever, but that they may be blessed. Pray for them for the grace of God to fill them because they are your sisters and brothers in Christ.
"And thirdly, love one another - that's not a phrase I coined! Love one another. Jesus said to his disciples, 'Love one another as I have loved you.' Judas was one of them. He washed Judas' feet.' So they are the three things I would say pastorally and they are three things I try, not always successfully to do."
Speaking ahead of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, the Anglican leader was asked if it was still possible for the Church of England to stay together despite differences.
"I don't know, I genuinely don't know," he said. "What I do know is if you go to John 17 and huge passages of scripture: God is one, the church should be one to represent the oneness of God.
"We're not meant to be disunited. The reality is we are called, particularly by Jesus to be one. We are called to be one and there are only three significant problems with disunity, this is what the Bible tells us: disunity ruins our prayer life, disunity destroys our assurance of salvation in Christ, and disunity profoundly hinders our mission.
"Apart from those things, there isn't a problem with disunity! So my job is to pray for the unity of the church, to seek to help find a way for people to disagree well, within one body, and to focus on the two things we are called to do: worship God in Jesus Christ and proclaim the Gospel in deed and word.
Justin Welby also addressed criticism of recent guidance issued by the Church of England on the issue of transgenderism.
In December, a document was released encouraging church leaders to do more to make trans people feel more included.
It offered ways in which baptismal liturgy could be used to help in this way.
Clarifying its significance, he said: "This is not an instruction and there is no change of doctrine. It is simply saying [clergy can] use the structure of the baptismal liturgy to mark a transition in someone's life (not as a new baptism let's be clear, because you are only baptised once) but as a way of people affirming their identity in Christ.
"In the same way as if someone who's been baptised finds faith in Christ in a new way. Sometimes they will have a reaffirmation of their baptismal vows which will look quite like a baptism and they'll say the baptism promises and say this is who I am.
"It's guidance, it's not a rule, people are free to ignore it. And it's not a change in doctrine in any way at all."
The Archbishop of Canterbury was speaking at the launch of Thy Kingdom Come, now in its 4th year, which has united over a million Christians from more than 65 different denominations and traditions, in more than 114 countries to pray for evangelisation. It takes place between Ascension to Pentecost which this year is May 30th-June 9th.

BUSINESS WORLD - Irish banks borrow E119bn from the ECBIrish based banks and other financial institutions raised their borrowings from the European Central Bank by 25pc in just under a month to a total of E119.1 billion, the Central Bank said today.
There you have it, we are definitely going the wrong way. Where will the money come from to repay this? 25% increase in borrowing in September.

text: 2 gyms and 4 rooms? Sounds like this kind of damage might take a little time to repair. Never saw this one coming though. Who knew it snows in the winter? Someone had to have seen a leak or heard a crack over the years. The good news is the 6th graders have been moved to an elementary school...where they can get away from 8th grade bullies for a while.

Thanks for your response GG. I really appreciate it.
Although I can use the original code you sent (and it works perfectly), I wanted to set up a better shopping cart checkout experience. I'm linking a page where I set up my original button (which, even though I've tried everything I can think of, still does not take the discount off two items), and right below that, I set up the button you sent. What I'd love to do is create the checkout experience for the first button, with of course the correct calculations of your button. Is this possible?
Just to be clear on the discounts - Original price is $19.99. The sale price is $14.99. If you buy 2 or more, the price is $12.99 each. My button, although nice experience for buyer, takes the first discount off - (19.99 becomes $14.99) but then continues to make the first item purchased $14.99 instead of 12.99 - so if you order 2, rather that $25.98 total, it's $27.98 total. That follows through on all the rest as well. It continues to charge 14.99 for the first and then 12.99 for all the rest. I need anything more than one to be charged at 12.99 each. So my client wants the experience of the first button.
Here is the link to both mine and your button. Sorry for the long explanation. http://newness.cratestop.com/page1.html. TY

WASHINGTON (Bloomberg) - United States Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said he will make a "big announcement" on Friday (Sept 16) about his view on President Barack Obama's birth, which he has declined to publicly acknowledge took place in the US.
"You watch my statement," Mr Trump said in a phone interview on Fox Business, suggesting it would take place at a 10am campaign event he has scheduled in Washington at his namesake hotel. "We have to keep the suspense going."
"I think you'll be happy," he told host Maria Bartiromo.
Mr Trump's years-long unwillingness to publicly recognise Mr Obama's citizenship flared up again on Thursday when he told the Washington Post he did not want to answer whether he believed Mr Obama was born in Hawaii. He has gained in polls on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and now seeks to pull ahead after a rocky stretch for her campaign.
"I'll answer that question at the right time," Mr Trump told the Post. "I just don't want to answer it yet."
His campaign then issued a statement saying Mr Trump did believe in Mr Obama's US birth.
"Having successfully obtained President Obama's birth certificate when others could not, Mr Trump believes that President Obama was born in the United States," Trump spokesman Jason Miller said in the statement.
Mr Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. on Thursday said the spokesman's statement should be taken as the nominee's own view. "That is coming from him," Mr Trump Jr. said on "Good Morning America" prior to his father's interview.
Mr Trump has previously discounted statements made on his behalf, however.
"Don't believe the biased and phony media quoting people who work for my campaign," he tweeted in May. "The only quote that matters is a quote from me!"
Mr Trump on Fox Business repeated his accusation that Mrs Clinton started the so-called birther issue in her 2008 presidential primary race against Mr Obama, and said Mrs Clinton was "incapable" of finishing it.
The nonpartisan fact-checking site PolitiFact has rated the accusation "false," saying "the birther movement appears to have begun with Democrats supporting Clinton and opposing Obama" but "there is no direct tie to Clinton or her 2008 campaign".
"Most of the talk started after Clinton suspended her presidential campaign," PolitiFact said.
Mrs Clinton on Thursday ripped Mr Trump for telling the Post he did not want to answer where he believed Mr Obama was born.
"He still wouldn't say Hawaii. He still wouldn't say America," Mrs Clinton said at a Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute awards gala in Washington. "This man wants to be our next president? When will he stop this ugliness, this bigotry?"

The Woodwork Josh Collection is one of a series of furniture collections for children created and sold by Woodwork. "Josh" contains a number of very simple items for infants, toddlers, and older kids so that their furniture needs are well looked after from infancy to their early teens.
Stage One
The first stage is that time when diapers are a part of life and your baby needs to be protected at all times while sleeping. He needs a crib, but not just any crib. Make it a US bed with attached sections for baby and parent. The US bed features the crib, of course, plus an open section with a chest on it. Mom can sit down and peer inside at her baby, providing a moment of comfort before sleep or before her baby is being lifted out in the morning. Regular baby beds and a diaper changing platform are available as well.
The Toddler Years
When a child moves on to needing something bigger and wants to get used to sleeping in an ordinary bed, the transition is easily made with the Woodwork Josh collection at Saffron And Lewis. Buy a day bed with rails around three sides. Until your child feels safe without protection, point the rails outside. When he wants to try sleeping without rails, turn them to the wall. Regular, rail-free junior beds are also available.
Lifting Kids Higher
Mezzanine beds are like bunk beds; only a gap is left under the top bunk. This style is ideal for the older child who needs more than a place to sleep: she requires a quiet place to study in her small bedroom. Josh makes a desk to fit right underneath with steps built into a spot where drawers would be on one side. Real drawers are on the other side. If you really do need a second bed, buy the twin to fit beneath the top bunk or select a full bunk bed.
Storage Space
Storage is important because from an early age kids get through a lot of clothes. Thanks to mud, dirty diapers, and unsuccessful feeding attempts, a mother could be changing her baby's or toddler's clothes three times a day or more. Where does she store them? She keeps a wardrobe with drawers and cubbies or a dresser in the room as well. All designs are without embellishment and fit nicely together as an ensemble in any combination. Choose a colour you like for most items and Woodwork Josh will even personalize certain pieces with the name of your child.

* 1,312 pages

More than two decades were spent in writing and producing Hortus Third. It is the outgrowth of a program of research in the systematics of cultivated plants, initiated in the late nineteenth century by Liberty Hyde Bailey and continuing today within the framework of his philosophy that knowledge in basic science should be made available to society as a whole. Hortus Third is for advanced horticulturists and others interested in cultivated plants, including horticultural and garden writers, gardeners, nurserymen, landscape architects, botanists, and professional scientists in universities, botanical gardens, extension services, and government.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Hortus Third is a book unique in the field of North American horticultural literature. Written from a botanical point of view for the horticultural community, it is a record of the astonishingly rich and diverse flora of cultivated plants of the United States, Canada, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Hortus Third is part of a longstanding program of research, initiated before the turn of the century by Liberty Hyde Bailey, that has given rise to a series of authoritative encyclopedic horticultural works, including Hortus and Hortus Second, published in 1930 and 1941 respectively. Hortus Third continues in the tradition of these publications, but it is much more than a revised or updated version. It is an essentially new work. Obsolete entries of previous editions have been omitted and have been replaced by many more entirely new entries. All other entries, with the exception of a few of the general articles, have been entirely rewritten and expanded to reflect current knowledge of the world's cultivated plants and the conceptual changes that have occurred in systematic botany over the past thirty-five years. The new system of nomenclature for the cultivated variants of species is used. Other innovations include the citation of the author or authors for each botanical name, diagnostic illustrations of representative species of most families, a glossary of botanical terms, and an index to common names. Hortus Third accounts for the botanical names of 34,305 families, genera, and species, and a large but uncounted number of subspecies, varieties, forms, and cultivars. Each entry with a description includes the correct botanical name with its author or authors and, as appropriate, botanical synonyms, common names, indication of nativity, and notes on use, propagation, and culture. Separate articles deal with important crops, such as blueberries; groups of plants—for example, conifers; and methods and materials, such as pruning and soils. As with previous editions, Hortus Third will be for years to come the standard reference to the plants of North American horticulture.About the Author:
Hortus Third was written by the staff of the Liberty Hyde Bailey Hortorium of Cornell University with the collaboration of a long list of distinguished contributors. The final editing and revisions were the responsibility of the professional staff of the Hortorium, David M. Bates, John W. Incram, Jr., and Harold E. Moore, Jr.

More than 20 years ago, I was recruiting a Small Business Commercial Lender for a financial services client. On one particular evening, I had just wrapped up a call with a candidate (let's call him Henry) who seemed like the perfect fit. Henry had been with the same employer for 7 years, matched the educational credentials, seemed to have both the personality and competencies needed for the role, and had even achieved the specific deliverables the hiring manager, Tom, was after.
Now, for those of you with no experience in financial services, a small business lender calls on small- to mid-size businesses to provide them with lending options to grow their business. The key way to measure success in that role was determined by something called "loans outstanding." Loans outstanding is exactly what it sounds like: the actual outstanding balance the lender's clients had. The more outstanding on the loan, the more interest charged. The more interest charged, the more the bank caught a profit. And finally, more profit meant more commission for the lender.
The Rise
Henry's portfolio consisted of clients with more than $10 million in loans outstanding, which was well above the ideal threshold. Of course, I was feeling pretty excited. I did it: I found the purple squirrel. So right after the call ended with Henry, I picked the phone back up and called Tom. Even though by now it was 8 p.m., I had to tell him that we couldn't let my candidate get away. He was already interviewing at other companies. We had to act fast.
Problem was, Tom had to catch a flight the next morning and would be gone on a week-long vacation with his family. After some slick negotiating, I managed to convince him to take a later flight. Remember: Henry was a rock star.
The stage was set. Tom was excited to meet Henry, and after 7 years at the same bank, Henry was ready to make a move. Needless to say, a conversation with Tom was huge for Henry. By the time I went to bed, the time and location of the meeting were confirmed. I slept well that night assuming the position would be filled by lunch (at the latest).
Fast forward to 6 a.m. the next morning. I got out of bed with a decent pep in my step, maybe even feeling a bit smug, knowing that Tom and Henry were to meet in an hour. I rushed to the office, coffee in hand, sat in my chair, perched my feet on my desk, and waited for the phone to ring. And by 8:30 a.m., it most certainly did.
You know that smugness I felt a couple hours earlier? That dissipated about 20 seconds into my conversation with Tom. You know that coffee I had at my desk? I nearly spilled it all over myself as Tom proceeded to yell at me for, well, a myriad of things: wasting his time, causing a delay in his family trip, getting his hopes up on the candidate. In essence, the interview was a bust. Tom was pissed. My pep was gone.
The Fall
Maybe to your disappointment, nothing crazy happened. No exciting story. No drama. So, what happened, you ask? Simple: I didn't dig deep enough. I wasn't thorough enough.
While Henry did, in fact, have a portfolio that exceeded $10 million, I never asked how he'd achieved such major levels of production. Turns out, Henry had just inherited a co-worker's portfolio after her departure from the bank. His most shining asset, his best achievement, the purple to my purple squirrel… all gone.
And it was avoidable.
The Resurrection
After this blow, I made it a point to be better at my job as a recruiter. I stopped just checking boxes. I started asking more questions. And when it did come time to check the boxes, I was confident they were the right ones.
As a recruiting professional, it's crucial that you dig deeper into candidates' achievements, pains, and aspirations. It's not enough to know what the candidate accomplished without understanding how the accomplishments were made.
I've spoken with both rookie recruiters and vets in the industry who don't know about the how. Not to my surprise, many tell me they only have time for the what because extra time isn't all that common in our industry.
4 Crucial Questions to Ask Your Candidates
Time is always going to be limited in this business, but quality candidates are our priority. Make the time. When you get on your next call with a candidate, make sure to ask these 4 questions for each requirement, skills, achievement, or competency.
1. What did you accomplish? This is the first box we check. Recruiting 101. Has the candidate done the key things you need to fill a role?
2. How did you accomplish that? You'll learn a lot about how a candidate achieved or missed an objective if you just ask how the candidate approached the role altogether. Just think of all the heartache I could have saved Tom 20 years ago had I asked this question.
3. Why did you take that approach? There are always multiple pathways to achieve a goal. When you learn why someone chose a specific path, it provides you with additional insight into the candidate's thought-process and work style.
4. When did you achieve your goal? How did timelines come into play? Compare the candidate's personal timeline to complete an objective to the employer's timeline.
If you really want to provide value to the candidate and to all the "Toms" in the world, don't focus so much on what candidates accomplish; drill deeper to understand how and why they did. Only then will you have the real, complete picture.
