Created in collaboration with TSB
Guarding lives
Meet two surf lifeguards looking out for swimmers this summer at Bethells Beach.
Ariarna Cartwright, lifeguard, 17
How long have you been involved in the club?
I joined just after I turned 15, and this is my third season of lifeguarding.
What made you join?
One of the lifeguards there, I knew her growing up and she said, "why don't you give it a go seeing as you love the water so much?" I went to a couple of the trainings and said, "yeah, this is what I want to do." I'd always loved being at the beach and that's how I got into it.
How will the grant from TSB help your club?
For me as an instructor, I'm helping train a lot of the new lifeguards, and a lot of them are my age or a little bit younger, so it's given us the opportunity to be able to train up these new lifeguards and give us the skills that we need on the beach. We're the next generation, so it's good for us to have the skills. The funding just enables the club to get more people qualified, to have more experience, and therefore safer beaches.
How would you describe Bethells?
I love it, the community out there is so amazing. It's such a core part of me now, and the beach itself is absolutely stunning. Nothing beats a wild west coast beach.
It can be a bit treacherous right?
Yeah, it is dangerous, but through this grant we've been able to do so much more training which enables us to keep people safe.
What's the most satisfying rescue you've done?
My favourite rescue would probably have to be one my friend did. I was more of a support, rather than aiding in the rescue but we won Rescue of the Month for it. It just involved a lot of team work and really showed what we'd been training for.
Damian Strickett, lifeguard, 37
How long have you been lifeguarding?
I'm into my second season.
What got you into it?
It was my kids. I wanted them to know about being safe at the beach. I'm part of the Junior Surf parent programme.
How will the grant the club has recently received from TSB help?
The grant will help us immensely. Grants mean a lot of people can go on courses such as first aid – [people] who may not have gone on them if they had to pay for them. These things also give people life skills, as well as surf lifesaving skills.
What's the best part about being a surf lifeguard?
Getting out in the water and the bond you make with people. I think the best things about surf lifesaving are the community you meet within your club, the skills you learn and knowledge that is passed on – and also some of the fun things we get to do and learn, such as IRB [Inflatable Rescue Boat] driving.

The Fayette Advocate has obtained emails suggesting the recent arrest of adult film actress Stormy Daniels was planned in advance by police officers in Columbus, Ohio.
A whistleblower who is employed by the city of Columbus provided the emails to the Ohio-based publication. Detective Shana Keckley, who "was one of the lead-arresting officers" of the adult film entertainer, reportedly sent messages containing images of President Donald Trump with Daniels and a map to where Daniels would be performing in Columbus.
Daniels was arrested for allegedly touching undercover officers, but charges were dismissed the following day. The Columbus Police Department initially claimed Daniels' arrest was part of a "long-term investigation into allegations of human trafficking, prostitution, and other vice related violations," but Police Chief Kim Jacobs later apologized, saying "a mistake was made."
However, some Columbus police officers reportedly enjoyed the apprehension of Daniels while they could, per the emails from Keckley that were provided to the Fayette Advocate:
After Daniels' arrest that Wednesday night, the emails continue into the early morning hours of Thursday, but the contents are disturbing.
"I got the elements…we arrested Stormy this morning, she is in jail." "Elements" are the burden police officers must meet in order to make an arrest.
In another email dated on July 12 at 3:50 a.m., Keckley writes to another police officer bragging about Daniels' arrest — without mentioning her by name — saying, "You're Welcome!!!!!… Thank me in person later."
Daniels' attorney, Michael Avenatti, has claimed the arrest of his client was politically motivated due to the alleged role of Trump–supporting officers in the incident
Trump allegedly had an affair with Daniels in 2006. Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer, reportedly made a $130,000 hush payment to Daniels right before the 2016 election. The FBI later raided Cohen's office over the payment that wasn't disclosed on financial election forms. Trump claimed he didn't know about the payment, but Rudy Giuliani, his lawyer, said the president was aware. Trump also reportedly apologized to First Lady Melania Trump for the hush payment. Avenatti has alleged that at least six other women have similar agreements with Trump.
Despite numerous threats against her, Daniels has sued to get out of the nondisclosure agreement that she entered with David Dennison, a pseudonym used by Trump. Daniels also filed a lawsuit alleging her former lawyer secretly colluded with Trump and Cohen.
In addition to potential legal trouble over not disclosing the hush payment, it suggests the president of the United States is vulnerable to blackmail and extortion.

United Artists, 78m 1s
The obvious film noir qualifications of HE RAN ALL THE WAY are carved forcefully into the opening sequence within a neglected tenement apartment littered with empty beer cans, dirty dishes and overflowing garbage. On what appears to be a particularly hot summer morning, Nick Robey (John Garfield) would sleep the day away were it not for his mouthy mother (Gladys George), who reminds her son of his persistent lack of achievement. The hard woman slaps her loser son, who merely notes his ol' ma does not possess the strength she once did. Despite his thick skin, seasoned film noir fans will recognize Robey as the hopelessly doomed noir protagonist, trapped in a boiling urban hell that threatens to consume him.
The unemployed Robey meets up with the more ambitious Al Molin (Norman Lloyd), who has devised a $10,000 payroll holdup to take place while employees patiently await their salaries. Robey's intuition tells him today will not be his day, but he reluctantly goes along with Molin's plan. In a familiar film noir train of thought about the honest working class, Molin scoffs before the crime, "Squares waitin' for their pay..." As the viewer should expect, the heist goes quite poorly, with Molin taking a bullet and an unlucky police officer (Dale Van Sickel) shot by triggerman Robey.
Suddenly in attendance at a public pool in an endeavor to lose police, Robey encounters Peg Dobbs (Shelley Winters), a perfectly nice but painfully naive young woman who deserves to meet a much more together fellow than Robey. Although their exchange is awkward at best, Robey manages entry into the Dobbs apartment, where Peg lives with her parents (Wallace Ford and Selena Royle) and little brother Tommy (Robert Hyatt). Unnecessarily as it turns out, the hotheaded Robey holds the family under lockdown.
Set in Southern California over a 72-hour time frame, HE RAN ALL THE WAY is a tense and spirited film noir in which John Garfield proves he could be just as tough as the likes of Charles McGraw (THE THREAT [1949]) and Lawrence Tierney (BORN TO KILL [1947]). Most assuredly Garfield's turn as the existential Nick Robey anticipates ruffians portrayed by Ralph Meeker (KISS ME DEADLY [1955]) and especially Humphrey Bogart (THE DESPERATE HOURS [1955], the more well-known home invasion narrative). Not long after he meets Peg, Robey is appallingly rough with her. As his sense of paranoia intensifies, he becomes more physically insensitive to members of the Dobbs family. As portrayed by Garfield, Robey resembles a cornered, crazed animal whenever he senses that policemen are just moments away. Robey is not a completely rotten apple, though; notice the compassion he instinctively shows when Peg's mom injures herself.
Robey's eventual downfall is brought about by his mostly deplorable treatment of others, lack of religious belief, and above all else, his stubborn inability to trust others. "Nobody loves anyone," he says. Though far from a femme fatale, Peg accelerates Robey's downward trajectory when she gets all dolled up in front of him after her street-smart female coworker Marge (Vici Raaf) suggests Peg could use her appearance to manipulate a man. Ultimately Robey collapses into an appropriate landing spot within the unforgiving, distinctly urban noir terrain from which there is no escape. In that respect, the Robey character recalls Frank Bigelow (Edmond O'Brien) marked D.O.A. (1950), "Dix" Handley (Sterling Hayden) enveloped by THE ASPHALT JUNGLE (1950), Harry Fabian (Richard Widmark) trapped between NIGHT AND THE CITY (1950), and so many other similarly defeated noir protagonists.
HE RAN ALL THE WAY establishes its film noir atmosphere with a minimum of nocturnal sequences; quite unusual for the genre. The cinematography was handled by the legendary James Wong Howe, who also covered Garfield in the exceptional noir boxing narrative BODY AND SOUL (1947). Howe's other film noir accomplishments include HANGMEN ALSO DIE! (1943), NORA PRENTISS (1947), PURSUED (1947) and the classic SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS (1957). His excellent work in HE RAN ALL THE WAY shows his inclination toward tight close-ups, especially those that reveal the brutal summer heat that seems to be as much a character as any of the players.
A film noir with an equal measure of clever visual set-ups and punchy dialog, the script was an adaptation of the novel of the same title by Sam Ross. The screenplay is credited to Guy Endore and Hugo Butler, while uncredited contributor Dalton Trumbo was blacklisted at the time. Endore was a registered Communist, and also found himself blacklisted by certain film studios. He sometimes sold his screenplays under the pseudonym Harry Relis. Director John Berry's credit was removed from the film's initial theatrical run due to blacklisting. Prior to HE RAN ALL THE WAY, Berry helmed the appropriately taut film noir TENSION (1949), which features standout performances from Richard Basehart and Audrey Totter. Berry also directed the documentary short "The Hollywood Ten" (1950) about the group of screenwriters and directors who stood their ground against the House Un-American Activities Committee. Trumbo was among the 10.
Though John Garfield denied any communist party affiliation, he found himself blacklisted by major studio bosses. Perhaps the stress associated with pressure from the House Un-American Activities Committee contributed to the death of the long-term liberal, who died from heart complications May 21st, 1952 at the sadly premature age of 39. HE RAN ALL THE WAY proved to be his last film.
The Blu-ray disc available from Kino Lorber presents this underappreciated film remastered in high definition. The original theatrical scope of 1.37:1 is observed and the technical flaws are few. Other than trailers for HE RAN ALL THE WAY, A BULLET FOR JOEY (1955) and WITNESS TO MURDER (1954), the disc is without supplemental material.
HE RAN ALL THE WAY aired on TCM recently as part of their Noir Alley program hosted by Eddie Muller.

"The more connected we feel to nature, the greater our well-being, vitality, and resilience."
Engineering firms play a vital role in the health of our environment. Can you use this role as a way to leverage interest in wellness and health? Engineering firms can help design or influence environments that support health and well-being while also being friendly to the earth.
There is an intimate connection between our personal health, feeling connected to nature, and having environmentally friendly habits (as a business). As a Wellness Champion can you enhance employee health and well-being by engaging them (and your business as a whole) in a "Going Green" initiative?
Earth Day is Coming. April is titled "Earth Month" and April 22nd is officially called "Earth Day." At first glance, these labels seem kind of silly. Why give special attention to our most wonderful (and only dear) planet for only a single day or month? Well, if you have been on the planet for the past 20 years, you probably have heard about pollution and misuse of vital energy resources, among other grave concerns (littering, plastic waste, climate change, etc.).
Taking Earth Action. In short, we are fairly busy doing mindless things to hurt the environment. In response, we put calendar reminders in place to be mindful and play nice with our environment. And there is an abundance of things you can do, like signing on to more than 20 different Earth Day Campaigns or other activities like recycling, composting, riding a bike, or joining in a local event (like a clean-up, see calendar from EarthDay.org or browse Earth Day volunteer activities at VolunteerMatch.org).
Wellness Meets the Earth. There are interesting parallels between these eco-calendar reminders and wellness reminders. Many of us need daily reminders to go to the gym, track our diet, get the right amount of sleep, etc. And these tools do help us stay healthy. We just have to keep at it and avoid slipping into old habits. Especially when friends invite us over to a hamburger feast or coworkers bring scrumptious donuts to work. In a similar way, we have to support each other to keep the environment clean. Don't you hate it when you see "that guy" throwing paper trash out of his car window? He needs a (friendly) reminder, too!
Eco-Attitude. Attitude is everything. We have to care about our environment just as we have to care about our health. Taking care of both not only helps us personally but everyone around us. There is a common belief that our sustained attitude toward staying well is the most important factor in health. Our attitude toward the environment also matters. Actually, it is more than an attitude but a deeply held feeling of being connected to nature.
Connectedness to Nature. Think of the hundreds of ways that we connect to nature that also help our health: Walking, hiking, or running outside, swimming outdoors, fishing, getting sunshine, relaxing under the sky, gardening, outdoor sports, etc. The benefits from these activities are not solely from the exercise involved but also from feeling part of, in unity with, or somehow meaningfully related to our environment. Several studies suggests that the more connected we feel with nature, the greater our sense of well-being, vitality, and resilience. Statements that reflect this connection to nature are shown in the box.
Green Business Practices. Because of their expertise, engineering firms are in a unique position to foster a sense of stewardship for the environment. As a wellness champion, consider how your firm supports ecological sensitivity. Such practices may inspire employees to think more carefully about the earth (and their health) as well.
Things to Do. Your firm can bring engineering creativity to a recycling campaign, environmental clean-up, a neighborhood gardening project, or public health educational event around air or water quality. Get staff involved in these projects. Ask them for their ideas. Here are some resources your firm can use to "Go Green":
- We have created a Champion Tips Sheet – Going Green In-House Programming to give you ideas on how to increase awareness about the environment and create a "Going Green" initiative within your firm.
- These two posters are available on the Engage Healthyroads web portal and you post them to promote "going green": Be Good Be Green Be Healthy, Eat Healthy for a Healthier Earth
- Read about what other companies are doing to be green in this SHRM Green Workplace Survey Brief
Healthy Regards (on this Earth),
Dr. Bennett and Lindsay

From the December 1, 1170, press gaggle with Henry, King of England, Count of Anjou, Duke of Normandy, Count of Aquitaine, et al.:
PRESS: Your Highness, I was wondering if I could ask you specifically about your current relationship with Thomas Beckett, the Archbishop of Canterbury –
KING OF ENGLAND: Yeah, I know what his title is, okay? Archbishop of whatever, yes. I know. I was the one who gave him that title, okay? I'm very very big on loyalty and I was hoping it was a two-way street. Apparently not, which is one of the things I've learned since becoming King of England and all of the other things, all of which are terrific, believe me.
PRESS: What is the state of your current relationship with the Archbishop? Are you about to have him executed? You've made statements that suggest that you're displeased –
KOE: Displeased? I'll say. Had I known he was going to be such a pain in the you-know-what about this and that, would I have made him the A of C? Not likely.
PRESS: I have a follow-up. Given that Thomas Beckett is the Archbishop of Canterbury, and given that your recent statements have made it clear you'd like him to resign, what plans do you have for the contingency that he doesn't, in fact, offer his resignation?
KOE: Okay, this is the last question I'm taking on this because, well, there are so many amazing things I've done since becoming King of the Thing that it's crazy, really, people are saying this, not me, it's crazy that we're talking about this stuff instead of the really serious stuff I've done as regards the whole situation with the common-law issues, which truly, and this is not me saying this, this is lots of people, which truly boggle the mind. Is what I'm saying.
PRESS: So in other words, you'd prefer it if –
KOE: Someone would rid me of this turbulent priest? Yeah, yeah. That's the nutshell, sure.
From the November 2, 1862, press conference with President Abraham Lincoln:
PRESS: If I could ask one about General George McClellan –
POTUS: Oy. Really?
PRESS: You've made statements both in public and in letters regarding your feelings about General McClellan and his use of the Army of the Potomac –
POTUS: Oh, um, is he using it? I was unaware. I was under the impression that the Army was at this juncture utterly inactive.
PRESS: See, there's comments like that. What I'm asking is –
POTUS: Like what? Like my pointing out, quite calmly if I may add, that the Army of the Potomac seems like a nice group of guys, out there having terrific nature walks, while the Army of Northern Virginia strolls northward to become the Army of Northern Virginia plus Western Maryland and Also Probably Pennsylvania and (Fingers Crossed) Lower New Jersey. Stuff like that? Comments along those lines?
PRESS: Sorta, yeah.
POTUS: Got it. Okay. Please continue with your question.
PRESS: You seem angry, Mr. President.
POTUS: Why should I be angry? Just because a political appointee refuses to follow my orders?
PRESS: If I may, sir, do you have any plans to fire General McClellan?
POTUS: No! No, no, no, no, no, no. Of course not. Zero plans to do that. Zero. Nada.
PRESS: Sir?
POTUS: Obviously I'm going to fire him. Probably today. I mean, hello?
From the June 21, 1941, press availability with Chancellor Adolf Hitler, Der Führer:
DF: Yes, Jurg, you in the back, you have a question?
PRESS: Yeah, sir, I was wondering about recent troop movements along the Polish–Russian border and how these might seem to contradict the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, which you have previously suggested was the cornerstone to peace in the region.
DF: So glad you asked that. Jurg, was it? Well, Jurg, see, the thing is, we have a non-aggression pact with Russia which is really predicated on the whole idea that, Hey! Let Germany pay for it, let the German volk just suck it up and take this crap when the truth is, those countries are kinda second-rate, if you ask me. So are we rethinking a lot of really bad treaties done by people who are really bad at negotiating? Yes. That's a definite ja.
PRESS: So we're going to war with Russia? A country that you signed a treaty with?
DF: Did I sign it? A lot of people are saying I didn't, and that I shouldn't have.
PRESS: Wait, so you did?
DF: Aren't you tired of losing, Jurg?
PRESS: I don't see how we're losing, sir, by living up to our treaties.
DF: This is why people hate the media, Jurg. Next question.

A puzzle-box of a film that wants to be appreciated more than solved, The Pillar Of Salt is as obtuse as it is enigmatic, piecing together a purposefully disjointed narrative with arresting imagery and a strong mood.
For all of its aesthetic flair and rhythmic flow, there is an emptiness to The Pillar Of Salt
While writer/director Burak Cevik infuses every frame of his feature debut with a distinctive style and tone, it often feels intriguing yet incomplete. Premiering in the Berlinale's Forum section, then screening at Ankara and now Adana, it is as if the movie has emerged out of the same womb-like cave that its protagonist favours — and perhaps a few moments too soon.
Why the unnamed, raven-haired central character (Zinnure Ture) dwells where she does is never explained, although the cave's closed-in confines aptly establish The Pillar Of Salt's intimate air. In one of her daily excursions in search of her missing sister, the pregnant woman utters a line that could also be seen to encapsulate the film. "The most troublesome curse is to freeze a human in time," she remarks, after espousing the Old Testament tale of Sodom, Lot and Lot's wife that gives the movie its title. There is evidence that her own life is moving forward, but there is also a sense that she is treading water by revisiting the past.
The involvement of a series of other dark-haired women — on boats, and in botanical gardens, pet stores, darkrooms and TV repair shops — adds to both the film's ethereal vibe and the idea that a pattern is at play. Heightening this sensation, Cevik lingers on random minutiae, be it photo negatives in their black-and-white glory or the hypnotic to-and-fro of a table-tennis match.
None of Cevik's diversions strengthen or even deepen the narrative yet — given that his protagonist describes herself as a part-time vampire, inhabits a world devoid of men and crawls into a bathtub with her doppelganger each night — a coherent story clearly is not his goal.
Styled to evoke a dream, individual images stand out, with Cevik and cinematographer Burak Serin exacting within the film's Academy-ratio frames. Still, for all of its aesthetic flair and rhythmic flow — the filmmaker also acts as his own editor — there is an emptiness to The Pillar Of Salt. It is visually vivid and radiates a definite allure but, beyond its images and atmosphere, it is also somewhat vacant.

Meet Lisa! Lisa (58) enjoys life with her husband Jim and their fur baby Mooka (their dog). They joined the Bellin Health Fitness family in 2015. Lisa's goals were to devote some "me" time after retirement to build confidence, get stronger and meet new people.
Lisa's motivation to begin her journey at Bellin Health Fitness came after years of working and putting her job first. She realized she needed to begin devoting some time to improve her physical, emotional and psychological self. She wanted to find her "true self" again, be happy, positive and meet new people. She stated, "health is typically taken for granted" and she wanted to be at her best and be proactive.
The obstacle that Lisa had to overcome was going to a new place by herself to meet new people. As an introvert, this was difficult for her initially. But the staff and members at Bellin Health Fitness made it so much easier; they were and are so helpful and friendly and most of all welcoming! So welcoming that she became a volunteer at our Bellevue location.
Bellin Health Fitness played a huge part in helping Lisa! It's important to her to keep challenging her mind and body. She does this by participating in Group Fitness classes, Specialty classes, personal training, attending monthly Socials and making phone calls as part of her volunteer work. Lisa and her husband personal train with Dane and she appreciates how he keeps it challenging and fresh. They don't do the same thing each week and it's a friendly competition between her and her husband.
Lisa's life has changed because she is a much happier and positive person. Her success includes being stronger, improving her self esteem and developing some great new friendships. She is also grateful and thankful that she is able to workout/exercise, be more confident and feel like her "true self" and the person she was always meant to be!
When asked, "What advice would you give to help others?", her response was, "Take that first step to make time for yourself to become the best you can be. After all, the only person who can take care of you, is you! Get ahead of the game to be proactive about your total well-being…it is so worth it!

Two years ago, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tennessee Titans hit rock bottom. Both teams owned a 2-14 record and the top two picks in the draft, with Tampa selecting first overall. Both teams would eventually take their quarterback of the future for Heisman Trophy winners, Tampa took Florida State's Jameis Winston while the Titans picked Marcus Mariota from Oregon. Due to their draft status, these two will always be tied to one another, and while both have played well and the teams have improved over the last two seasons, Mariota has been the better overall quarterback.
In their short careers, Winston owns the better record (15-17 compared to Mariota's 11-16) has thrown for more yards (8,132 compared to 6,244) and has tossed more touchdowns (50 compared to Mariota's 45). Mariota, who has played in five less games, has thrown less interceptions (19 compared to Winston's 33), owns a better passer rating (93.8 compared to 85.2), has a higher yards per attempt (7.6 to Winston's 7.4) and has four fourth quarter comebacks to Winston's three.
But what makes Mariota better? Quite a few things:
Mariota is lights out in the red zone. This is one of Mariota's best traits. Over the last two seasons, Mariota has never turned the ball over inside the 20-yard line. Winston has completed more passes (62 to Mariota's 60), thrown for more yards (467 to 446) and thrown for more touchdowns (34 to 33), but needed to throw 43 more passes to eclipse Mariota. Additionally, Winston has completed just 45.2 percent of his passes in the red zone, a drastic difference to Mariota's 63.8 percent – not to mention that Winston has a big target in Mike Evans to throw to. Tennessee scored a touchdown on 72 percent of their trips to the red zone in 2016 and 65 percent of the time in 2015, which ranked first and fifth in that span. Tampa Bay, on the other hand, scored a touchdown in 51.85 percent of their trips last season (20th overall) and 52.94 percent in 2015 (22nd).
Mariota is a better deep ball passer. One of the traits NFL coaches and scouts salivate over is the ability to throw the deep ball and Mariota outperformed Winston in this aspect of the game. Winston had the eighth-most deep balls (balls that traveled 20 or more yards in the air) thrown last season with a mark of 69, but only completed 22 of the passes. His 34.8 completion percentage on deep balls was 21st in the league (out of 28 qualified players), while his 71.0 passer rating was 22nd, behind quarterbacks such as Alex Smith and Ryan Fitzpatrick. He also tossed six interceptions on those deep passes, the third-most in the league. Though out of his 22 completed passes, 11 were touchdowns.
Mariota, on the other hand, owned a superior completion percentage (41.9 percent, 14th), passer rating (101.2, 12th) and only tossed three interceptions. The one knock on Mariota is the lack of touchdowns, as he threw just six, but the Titans offense has also been more focus on establishing the run and getting to the red zone over airing it out.
Mariota is better under pressure. When the two had 2.5 seconds or less to throw, Mariota again came out on top. Mariota owned a better completion percentage (68.1 percent to Winston's 64 percent) and an eye-popping touchdown-to-interception ratio of 13:1. Among quarterbacks with at least 10 touchdown passes when having 2.5 seconds or less to throw, only Aaron Rodgers (18:1) and Tom Brady (18:0) had better numbers. Winston, on the other hand, threw 11 touchdowns and six interceptions. Mariota owned a passer rating of 103.6 in this situation, seventh best in football while Winston checked in a 24th with a passer rating of 88.2.
Mariota is a better runner than Winston. One great asset that both of them possess is the fact that they can both create plays with their legs, but will only try to do so when needed, instead waiting for the play to develop and check through their progressions instead of doing short reads, tucking and running. But when it is time to bail, Mariota gets the most out of it. On 94 career rushes, Mariota has ran for 601 yards (6.4 yards per carry) and four touchdowns while Winston has just 378 yards on 107 carries. Winston has more rushing scores with seven, but six came his rookie season as former Buccaneers head coach Lovie Smith liked to call for a bootleg in the red zone.

The aim for today was to get the neck ready to go onto the body. I started by shaping the headstock top edge (to mimic the body carve) and drilling for the tuners and ferrules.
Here's the compact layout.
I needed to drill out the machine head slots to be able to accept the thicker strings. After drilling I spent some time with a small round file making sure there were no sharp edges which would damage the polyurethane strings.
Then it was on to the fret markers. I drilled 13mm holes along the top edge.
I had ordered a set of plug cutters but after a couple of hours of trying to get them work I was unable to cut a neat plug of hardwood. Thankfully the eBay seller is going to refund the money, but in the meantime I needed to find a way of making myself some plugs. I cut a square rod of sapele that was 13mm on each side, clamped that down to the bench and ran a 6.5mm roundover bit down each corner. After a bit of sandpaper I was left with a 13mm dowel. Pop through the fretboard and trim to length
I glued in each plug and, while they were drying, I made myself a 5mm dowel of ebony. I couldn't do this with a router, but with a small block plane I was able to fashion a fairly good approximation from a 5x5mm length of ebony.
I drilled a 5mm hole through the centre of the 12th fret marker and glued in the ebony dowel. After allowing it to dry top and bottom of the fretboard were sanded flat.
Now I had all the key tasks done I was ready to assemble the neck. I drilled two 1.5mm holes through the first and last fret slots, down a couple of mill into the neck. This allows me to pop through a couple of thin pins which stops the fretboard moving as it is clamped down. I mask off the truss rod slot, spread the neck top with two part Araldite epoxy adhesive and gently clamp it up. It doesn't need to get clamped too tightly otherwise it can force out all of the glue, leaving a weak join.
After an hour I was able to remove the clamps. I used a bottom bearing cutter in the router and trimmed the fretboard to match the neck, neatly bisecting the sapele/ebony markers. Next step was to set about the neck with my radiused sanding block, loaded first with 60 grit, rising to finish with 220 grit. To make sure I sanded the fretboard evenly I shaded the surface with pencil so I could easily see which areas were getting sanded away.
I cut the frets close to length, gently tapped them into the slots and, with my caul mounted in the drill press, gently squeezed them into the slots. This was so much easier and more controlled than hammering them in.
I clamped the edges of the frets and wicked in a drop of CA glue to each fret end.
Once that had dried I filed the fret ends. They still need more work but they're fairly close.
If the weather allows, tomorrow I'll be routing the neck pocket, control cavity and drilling the string through holes, hopefully ending the day with a neck glued in to the body.

For all the high-achievers out there who aren't giving themselves enough credit for their accomplishments. For those who are isolating themselves in the name of a goal. And for those who are trying to become a version of themselves that someone else has designed.
A little over a year ago, I realized a trend in some of the top agents I was coaching. These were highly driven, success oriented, obedient, and talented people, being compelled to fully engage in a training course whereby they were challenged to compete and "win" by following a set of pre-determined rules over a period of time.
In sales professions, there is already a high sense of urgency and a lot of pressure around lead generation, so naturally sales trainings are going to emphasize this activity.
The challenge I see with this method is when it is taken to the extreme. There is this intense focus which causes an imbalance in a variety of areas. Depending on the person's prioritization of values, it can and often is a real problem. It actually causes more harm than good sometimes!
Areas where imbalances often show up:
- Relationships
- Health
- Fun/Creativity/Individuality
As people going too far one direction, they lose sight of (or forsake altogether) their values in other areas of their lives. In the quest to achieve a goal or ideal, they become resentful, confused, angry, burned-out, isolated, overwhelmed, and generally unhealthy both physically and emotionally.
This ultimately leads to one of two things:
- Reverting back to the original way of doing things. Then feeling a sense of failure (even if they accomplished more than anyone else ever had in the process of attempting the goal).
- Loss of sense of self. Sabotaging relationships, health, and sense of individuality/freedom in the process (still feeling a sense of failure but not sure why).
Earl Nightingale emphasizes, "Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal."
Momentum can certainly be created in a 90 day period of time. It will not be the "end all - be all" solution to a life by design, however. It will take multiple attempts and various avenues to become the person one envisions. Success is a life long journey with many fuel stops along the way.
In fact, this full-on 100 yard dash for some high-achievers may be the beginning of the end of all things valued if not approached with discernment and discretion!
Think about it. If you go 100% toward creating 25 new sales and fail to attend to your spouse or partner, what will life look like when you hit the 25th sale? (Ever heard the phrase "It's lonely at the top?")
Or what if you focus on the 25 sales and forget about eating right and exercising?
And what about fun? If for a period of time, say 6, 8, 12 weeks or more, you focus on the end goal of 25 sales and you have zero fun in the process, how will you view your success at #25?
Will it have all been worth it?
Most of us place our individuality pretty high on the priority/value list and yet we somehow find ourselves trying to fit into a mold that just doesn't suit us. We are like square pegs trying to fit into round holes. So you may hit that 25th sale and look at yourself and say, "Who the heck have I become?"
I often hear people say, "Something inside me is driving this out of control sense to achieve and I am spinning more and more out of balance."
I have been there too. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the money I made and the new toys acquired. All things that I in fact set out to accomplish in the beginning. Somewhere along the way though, I lost myself.
What I realized is that it wasn't about "what" I was doing or "who" I was doing it with, it was about ME... the way I approached the goal and ultimately life.
I created my own stress!
My desire to achieve combined with my inability to see the successes in my own life was killing me. This high sense of urgency to GET TO THE GOAL caused me to feel like I was failing if I didn't hurry up and get there! Not sure where "there" was, but "there" nonetheless. When I wasn't getting there fast enough... I had guilt and frustration!
The lesson in all this as I see it:
BE the person you know in your heart your were created to BE!
DO the things daily that you are passionate about because they will lead to more energy, more money, and more passion!
HAVE those things that matter the most in your life - Decide what those are FIRST!
Programs are great. Goals are wonderful and help keep us focused. But at the end of the day, it's not about the program and it's not about the goal. It's about being the best version of YOU possible!
Celebrate your successes. Enjoy today. Live your life the way it works best for you! You decide what your life will look like on your terms.
As I was writing this original blog post some time back, this podcast came out. Tom Delong, Harvard Business School professor, published it and it is called "The Hidden Demons of High Achievers." He was promoting a new book he wrote called, "Flying Without a Net. Turn fear of change into fuel for success."

Stetson Greek Life Welcomes Back Fraternity
Pi Kappa Phi is Back at Stetson University.
November 4, 2018
Pi Kappa Phi, a fraternity formerly on Stetson's campus, is in the process of rechartering at Stetson University by bringing in two representatives to inform Stetson students about Pi Kappa Phi's legacy.
These two representatives, Adam Collins and Parker Begale, are currently recruiting Stetson men through informational sessions held on campus every Tuesday and Thursday at 7 pm in the CUB garage.
"Our recruiting process is set-up as an 8-week expansion project. Two consultants are on the ground meeting with students day in and day out, promoting the idea of becoming a founding father of a new fraternity," said Collins.
Pi Kappa Phi decided to recolonize after leaving Stetson in 2011 because they wanted to grow their brotherhood and join a college where they thought they could fit in and have a positive impact on the community.
"With the Chi Chapter at Stetson being one of our oldest chapters, we were eager to rejoin the Greek community as soon as possible to build on an already impressive history," said Begale.
This new fraternity will be fully rechartered at Stetson after approximately 11-14 months. This allows the Founding Father (Associate) Chapters to fully charter at the national level depending on the scheduling, growth, and maturity of the Chi chapter.
Collins and Begale have several goals they want to achieve by starting this fraternity at a small liberal arts campus; one of these goals entails finding men who have the potential to be great leaders. They want brothers who will continue to uphold their values by building a strong chapter of motivated men and who are willing to create a tradition of excellence in brotherhood, academics, and service to the community.
The recruiters are training their new members as chapter officers so they are equipped to run Pi Kappa Phi by the time the semester ends. The new members will hold and elect officers to lead the chapter toward success.
Finn Wilson '22 recently joined the brotherhood of Pi Kappa Phi because he wanted to share the same morals and values with other brothers.
"I decided to join Pi Kappa Phi because I had the ability to create something bigger than myself in the light that I think the Greek community should be seen," said Wilson.
Pavel Yurchenko '22, also a new member of Pi Kappa Phi, said he hopes to gain a close group of friends and to establish good relations with alumni to progress his future. Yurchenko also joined the new fraternity because of Pi Kappa Phi's morals.
"Like our founders over one hundred years before us, we want to give the men the opportunity to do something different and to engage with our core values, which include common loyalty, personal responsibility, achievement, accountability, campus involvement, responsible citizenship, and lifelong commitment," added Begale.
By recruiting on Stetson's campus this fall, Collins and Begale hope that joining this fraternity will give students the platform to reach new opportunities in their college years. They want their new members to network with the alumni of Pi Kappa Phi around the country and develop their leadership skills by getting involved in the fraternity at a national level.
"Above all else, we want our members to call Pi Kappa Phi home during their undergraduate tenure at Stetson and have the ability to make a positive impact in the community," said Collins.
Other organizations, including the other fraternities on campus, have been welcoming and supportive of Pi Kappa Phi's return to campus. The other fraternities on campus have offered advice and partnership to Begale and Collins as they work towards rebuilding the brotherhood.
"We are ecstatic to be part of this great community and can't wait to begin to partner up with all of our peer organizations in the near future," said Begale.
Interested in joining the brothers of Pi Kappa Phi? Join Adam Collins and Parker Begale at their informational sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7 p.m. in the CUB garage. For more information follow Pi Kappa Phi's Instagram page @PiKappStetson.

Most of my readers who have read Back to December have praised it. They've been excited to read the next book and have given me stellar reviews. Of course, they aren't posting those reviews on Amazon or at Goodreads, so I have to contend with feedback at those places from people who are giving it.
Yesterday, I got a really crappy review on both Amazon and Goodreads - one star, which I personally reserve for things I really loathe. I have posted 583 reviews on Goodreads. Of those reviews, I have four, yes 4 books I've given 1 star, two of which I read in high school and two that were books I did-not-finish (one was a book club selection). I have 26 two-star reviews, and since many of them are somewhat recent, I can say I gave detailed reasons why it was I personally didn't like the books. I've rarely ever said I would never read another book by any author that I hadn't given at least a couple shots. Heck some of my 2-star reviews were for authors I've read many of their books and continue to do so.
When I compared books with this bad reviewer on Goodreads, I found we had only 3 books in common. That's 3 books I've read, and I just said I have reviewed 583 of them. I have several on my 'currently reading' list and 609 on my 'to-read' list, yet I have 3 in common with this reviewer: my book and two by another new, self-published author. I find it suspicious that the person who gave me the bad review in both places also gave 5-star reviews to that author's two books, for which I gave a detailed critique. I had tried to contact the author directly before to discuss my comments prior to posting them, but had no success. So, I published an honest review that, frankly, was generous for the first book. And in fact, my review was higher than I felt the work deserved because I wanted to boost that author's rating so more people would read a new author like myself. Trashing one author to give props to another isn't going to help anyone.
Thank you, Goodreads, for telling me to take a deep breath and don't reply! Just don't do it! So, instead of replying there or at Amazon, I'm posting to my blog instead.
They trashed my characters and my writing, both of which I chock up to spite or subjectivity. But they also indicated that Back to December is full of grammatical errors, and I take issue with that. I just wanted to point out something to my fans and my future readers. If you ever find grammatical, spelling or typing errors in my work, please let me know. My editor and I both worked very hard to find every one, and yet I know they are probably still in there somewhere. Even people like Nora Roberts still have those kinds of issues. So to say that my work is full of them, either the person is lying, trash talking and being rude or else they have no idea what good grammar is. And unlike Nora Roberts, I have complete control over updates to my published work, so I'll gladly fix the errors.
I really hope the other author isn't encouraging behavior like that, but I'll continue to do what I always have: read and be honest if I'm unhappy with what I read.

Symmetry, the world's first EBSD detector based on CMOS sensor technology, is set to revolutionise EBSD analysis.
Symmetry is the revolutionary all-in-one EBSD detector based on groundbreaking CMOS technology. Exceptional performance for all EBSD applications is combined with ease of use and a range of innovative design features.
Guaranteed indexing speeds in excess of 3000 pps
1244 x 1024 pixel resolution
Extreme sensitivity for low energy and low current analyses
Unique low distortion fibre-optic lens
Software controlled detector tilting
Symmetry uses a customised CMOS sensor to unlock a unique and powerful combination of speed, sensitivity and diffraction pattern detail. Symmetry, in combination with the AZtec software, delivers exceptional performance on all materials and for all measurements. The highest analysis speed of Symmetry, in excess of 3000 pps, is more than twice that of any CCD-based EBSD detector on the market yet this is achieved without high beam currents or excessive pixel binning. The detector's unparalleled sensitivity is due to the unique fibre-optic lens system, ensuring a near-ideal detector efficiency. This means that these high speeds can be achieved even on challenging, real-world samples such as multiphase light metal alloys or deformed steels.
In addition, Symmetry can collect distortion-free, megapixel resolution EBSPs for detailed strain and phase analyses. This is a detector to suit all applications, enhanced by innovative features such as software controlled tilting (with dynamic calibration) and a unique proximity sensor.
Symmetry is truly a game changer and is already opening up new developments in even the most exacting of applications.
The Symmetry detector has an outstanding performance coupled with ease of use, making it the ideal detector for all EBSD applications:

Discover the market leading range of EBSD detectors based on CMOS technology: a world first in innovative technology.
This 16 page brochure illustrates why AZtec is the leading EBSD analysis platform on the market. Covers both hardware and software.
EBSD Explained is a 24 page tutorial that not only gives newcomers a solid foundation in the underlining science of the subject, but also shows how the theory is applied in practice to get reliable and accurate EBSD results.
Methylammonium Lead Halides (MALHs) are organic crystal compounds used in solar cells, LEDs, LASERs and photodetectors. Recent improvements to EBSD detectors now allows for their characterisation of grain size and texture.
Combining electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) techniques for geological sample characterisation, helps to unlock even more information on the likely formation and history of the sample.
CMOS-based EBSD detectors enable faster and more sensitive analyses of samples. Sensitivity is related to the full-system efficiency, or Detective Quantum Efficiency (DQE).
CMOS-based EBSD detectors enable faster and more sensitive analyses of samples.
Martensitic structures are traditionally challenging to measure with EBSD. Here, the sensitivity and pattern detail provided by Symmetry enables exceptional results from a martensitic stainless steel.
In this application note Symmetry is used to characterise a deformed Ni superalloy and a large area across a welded duplex steel.
A relatively simple geological sample, a quartz mylonite, is here characterised in a matter of minutes using Symmetry, collecting data at almost 1000 pps.

100-Plus Photos: Wild In the Streets, 2016 Roadkill Nights
So right up front, honestly, this was as crazy as you can imagine. Blocking off the infamous Woodward Avenue—one of America's street-race capitols, and then actually conducting street racing? Roadkill and Dodge did it, and all one can say is that it was really wild in the streets. And the crowds? The city of Pontiac was estimating maybe 40,000, but that number seems tame when you looked at the packed stands set up along Woodward for the racing action, and then see more humanity frugin' to the live band, and all of those getting a ride in a Dodge Hellcat drifting course, plus the car show. You could say Roadkill Nights was a value added venue, which the M1 Concourse facility in Pontiac accommodated with open arms. How does one top an insane gathering of all of the car crazies Detroit is known for? We can't even imagine, but if you missed Roadkill Nights in Pontiac, you may have missed a once-in-a-lifetime event that can't be duplicated. So to give you an idea of the energy, mayhem, and gonzo goodness going on in the Motor City, we've got over 100 images of both the day and night action that only Roadkill and Dodge could offer up on a silver platter.

Less than a year after the release of the Batman: The Animated Series Blu-Ray remaster, we are getting a full HD remaster of the also massively popular, Batman Beyond. Fans have been lauding Batman Beyond for years since its cancellation. Asking to see Terry and Bruce in any possible form. While there is a Batman Beyond comic book series currently running, it doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves. So at this year's 20th year anniversary panel at SDCC, WB announced they would be releasing the remaster this October 29th!
This new remastered edition will include the fantastic Return Of The Joker animated film, a chrome pained Batman Beyond Funko Pop, all-new featurettes, and a llenticular art cards!
Strangely enough, only 41 of 52 episodes will be remastered. Polygon is reporting that this is due to 11 being "irreparably damaged" over the years, and will be using upscaled versions in their place. So while it won't be a 100% remastered collection, it'll be close enough.
Let us know if you're excited for this Batman Beyond remaster. We here at Nerd Hall sure are (and patiently waiting for a reboot.)

Partitioning is a way of splitting one physical hard drive into many other hard drives that used to be done for performance and multiple OS booting. Like repairing permissions, zapping the PRAM, running a "defragger", using screensavers, and sleeping your computer instead of shutting it down – partitioning a drive into a myriad of containers is just not necessary anymore. And with external hard drives at decent prices, there's no reason for it.
Other than creating one hell of a complicated setup, with the exception of Boot Camp, what purpose did splitting your hard drive serve and what should you do instead?
Five Reasons Why Partitioning is Old Advice:
Old Advice #1. Creating a Repair Partition.
The whole idea of a "Repair Partition" is useless if your drive is physically damaged. Think about it, if the drive is dead – so is your little repair space. If you hose your system and need to re-install, that's what the OS X Install DVD and Time Machine is for. If you're a little more advanced, then you would've created a pre-configured system image already to avoid the install and setup hassle. Any respectable disk recovery/repair utility will be on a bootable CD / DVD – that's your "Repair Partition".
Old Advice #2. Speeding up System Performance.
The principle of partitioning to speed up disk performance is that like a record, data on the outside of the platter spins faster and is read faster than on the inside of the platter. So, it was recommended to partition your drive to a certain size and use only that partition, avoiding the rest of the drive. I guess you could do that if you want to waste half your drive..
What you should do instead is have two hard drives in a RAID 0 (striped) setup. Just remember that if one drive dies, your system is gone. Backup your data.
Old Advice #3. File Organization.
I don't know where some of these partitioning ideas came from, but splitting your drive into sections for media, applications, documents, archives and active files.. Sounds like a great way to waste your drive's space and create a lovely mess of organization. Take a deep breath and use folders for organization, not partitions.
Old Advice #4. Archiving and Backups.
Archives and Backups should never be on the same physical drive as your current system. If you lose that drive, your current data, archives and backups are all gone. It's not a backup if it's on the same physical device. External drives are reasonably priced and should always be used for large sized backup and archive storage.
Old Advice #5. Audio / Video Work.
Audio and Video work can be hell on a drive. Lots or reads, writes and re-writes. The old advice of partitioning a drive into system and media sections for fragmentation and directory structure purposes isn't going to do anything for you here. Performance-wise you're going to be moving the system and data apart and basically creating one huge fragment for the head to jump back and forth from as it reads / writes data and runs system activities at the same time.
What you should do is have your system and applications on your system drive and all your media (audio / video) files on a completely separate drive or drives in RAID 0 configuration.
The Only Reason to Ever Partition: Natively Running Different OS's.
With Boot Camp, you're going to have to partition. You're also going to have to reboot whenever you want to run your other OS. Same with Linux, although it will require some partition tweaking to get it to run natively.
However, with VMWare Fusion and Parallels, you can run Windows or Linux without the hassle of partitioning, tweaking, and rebooting. Both are incredible applications that work extremely well and do away with the need for partitioning.
