Support Times of San Diego's growth
with a small monthly contribution
The littoral combat ship USS Fort Worth is scheduled to depart San Diego on Monday for a 16-month assignment in Southeast Asia, the Navy announced Thursday.
The vessel's maiden deployment will include the first use of a drone helicopter aboard a deployed LCS, according to the Navy. Besides the MQ-8B Fire Scout drone, it will carry one MH-60R Seahawk helicopter.
While the Fort Worth will operate out of Singapore for well over one year, crews will rotate aboard the ship roughly every four months, according to the Navy.
"There is no doubt that LCS brings an enhanced capability to the Asia- Pacific region," said Vice Adm. Kenneth Floyd, U.S. Third Fleet commander. "We are proud of the crews for the countless hours of hard work in preparation for this inaugural deployment and we're looking forward to Fort Worth building on the successes and lessons learned from Freedom's deployment last year."
The Freedom was the first LCS to deploy to Southeast Asiae. The Navy said lessons learned about procedures and maintenance issues aboard the Freedom will be applied when the Fort Worth departs.
An LCS is a fast and maneuverable vessel designed for fighting in coastal waters. The new type of ship can be outfitted for various missions.
The Navy said the Fort Worth will employ the surface warfare mission package for the entire deployment, with two 30-millimeter guns, two 11-meter rigid hull inflatable boats and two eight-member maritime security boarding teams.

It's only 3 hours by train from Zurich to Como, and 1 hour from Bellinzona - so what are you waiting for? This year's Plant of the Year is not one but dozens of different plants, all in the berrying plants group. If you can't get to Orticolario, or can't wait for suggestions from the specialists, you can try one of the dwarf blueberries like "Blueroma" "Bluecrop" or "Blue Dessert", all available from Lubera, or maybe a Siberian blueberry like the compact "Blue Sea", "Blue Moon" or "Blue Velvet." Orticolario runs from the 4 to the 6 of October, and there are family events, guided tours, lectures, art, show gardens, plants and lots of beautiful Italian products to enjoy www.orticolario.it

A new report from Motor Trend alleges General Motors will revive the Chevrolet TrailBlazer name on a new crossover that will fill the narrow gap between the Chevrolet Trax and the Chevrolet Equinox.
The article claims that even though the Trax and TrailBlazer would be very similar to each other in size, the TrailBlazer would be a more premium model than the entry-level Trax and would thus attract a different kind of buyer.
Motor Trend asked Chevrolet marketing director Steve Majoros to comment on the TrailBlazer rumors, who allegedly smiled and said he couldn't talk about future product, but added that fans should expect some Chevy news in the "2019 calendar year forthcoming."
Customizing your car on the outside with lights is definitely a great idea if you want to improve the quality of it, but you should also consider changing the color, you can get professional help from these Maserati certified body shops.
During traffic jams or between appointments, my Clasiq car has seen a whole lot of meals. With that much time spent in one space, I've taken a few stabs at creating the comforts of home within this tiny space.
A teaser image recently surfaced online showing a mysterious new Chevrolet crossover model found on the best chevrolet dealership. The image, which was first shown at General Motors' Capital Markets Day last Friday, is believed to be the for the next-generation 2020 Chevrolet Trax. Motor Trend believes the crossover could be actually be the rumored TrailBlazer, however. It's hard to say, with the luxury car dealership, teaser image making it difficult to tell if the vehicle shown is much larger than the current Trax. It does look quite a bit like the Blazer, though, which would make sense for a vehicle called the TrailBlazer. If you like versatile machines for both heavy personal and material transport take a look at this GMC Vandura deal. If you are looking for an used vehicle, check out this used Lexus gs 350.
This could also be the model that was spied testing at GM's Milford proving grounds (below) which was previously believed to be the Trax. With the two apparently being similar in size, it would be hard to distinguish between them without knowledge GM's future product plans.
The arrival of a crossover that will slot in between the Trax and Equinox seems inevitable, though. Majoros told Motor Trend that "in this day and age, you can't have too many," crossovers, so the automaker is absolutely looking at adding another to its already concentrated CUV portfolio. Whether or not it adopts the TrailBlazer name or not remains to be seen, and if you're planning to use this car for services as Uber, you can get cheap uber insurance quotes just for this purpose.
Where such a vehicle would be built is another mystery. GM could employ one of its US plants to build the so-called' TrailBlazer', or build it in profit-friendly Mexico. Korea is another option, which builds the current Chevrolet Trax at its plant in Incheon just outside of Seoul.
GM Authority will have all the details on the new Chevrolet Trax and TrailBlazer is they become available.

Upcoming Dates
!!! Important !!! The 2020 edition of EuroCucina has been officially cancelled by the organisers due to coronavirus.
Opportunities to establish a brand as a tastemaker are rare and EuroCucina presents exhibitors in the kitchen furniture and kitchen furnishing sectors to influence the face of kitchen design in the year ahead. As a city of style, it makes sense that this international exhibition takes place in Milan, Italy with editions organised on a two-year frequency. EuroCucina is home to Mediterranean brands to showcase their creations from materials to finished designs and the portfolio manages to encompass a variety of style directions. What are the reasons to sign up for a booth next edition?
- The biggest has to do with exposure and the potential to gain widespread recognition as the audience has reached 311,000 professionals in recent years;
- EuroCucina generates cross-sale potential as it's co-located with FTK, Technology for the Kitchen;
- Beyond static showcases, organisers push for conceptualizing kitchen spaces along the lines of next-generation performance, energy efficiency and ease of use.
Have you been successfully convinced there's no better investment for you than EuroCucina? Good. Now you need to think about your hotel accommodation for the trade show and how to cut down on its cost. This is where Travel 2 Fairs ltd comes in to offer you the best prices for hotels during EuroCucina. We can go as low as economy hotels and as high as luxurious suites in the heart of Milan. The goal is ultimately to book your hotels close to Fiera Milano so you're just a few minutes away. All our clients are given handy guides to public transport routes they can take.

Al Malki wins the race and Cudlin claims his third QIRRCH title
Only one race of the sixth round of the Qatar International Road Racing Championship took place yesterday at Losail International Circuit. Because of the adverse weather conditions, the first race was delayed until the conditions were safe enough for all the riders, so after two different tests in the track from the organizers and the riders, the first race took place at 22.10 hours and the second race had be postponed in the next and final round.
In a windy and dusty weekend, the BMW rider, Nasser Al Malki was the fastest rider in all the sessions and his performance was excellent throughout the weekend. Al Malki got the pole position on Friday and he lead all the race from the beginning to the end and didn't give any chance to Alex Cudlin to overtake him. With a second position, the defendant champion, Alex Cudlin, renewed his title for third time in his new Kawasaki bike with still three more races to go. The third place in the podium was for Mishal Al Naimi with his Honda bike. The French wild card Anthony Delhalle ended in fourth position.
Now that the title is already decided, there will be an exciting and tough battle with four riders to get the second place, as there is only a gap of 13 points between the second and fifth classified. The German rider Nina Prinz is second with 143 points and the three Qatari riders, Saeed Al Sulaiti (137), Mishal Al Naimi (132) and Nasser Al Malki (130) are third, fourth and fifth places respectively.
Regarding the Losail Asian Road Racing Series, the winner was the Indonesian rider Mohammad Reihan, who stepped in the first place in the podium in his category for first time this season. The second place was for Deepak Ravikumar from India and Walid Benterki from Algeria was in third place. The leader of the championship, the Indian rider Rajini Krishnan finished in fourth position and he has six points difference with Deepak Ravikumar who is second in the standings.
The seven and last round for the QIRRCH will be on 21st and 22nd June where it will take place also the second race from this sixth round.
In the podium ceremony, trophies were presented by Mr. Sultan Al Morraikhi, QMMF Board Member.
In the Press Conference after the race, Mr. Rashid Al Sulaiti, QMMF Public Relations congratulated all the winners and the riders who participated in this round with the difficult weather conditions during all the weekend, and due to the heavy wind and after checking the track, the organizers decided to postpone the second race in the next round as the strong wind made the riding very difficult specially in the corners and the safety is always the priority. Mr. Rashid Al Sulaiti also spoke about the arrival of new riders to compete in the new season championship and encourage more riders to enter the championship in order to take it to a higher level.
Mishal Al Naimi – 3rd place'I would like to thank my sponsor Ooredoo for their support and I am very happy with this podium victory with my new sponsor. In the race, I had a bad start moving back to the sixth placed but I pushed hard to get again the second position behind Nasser Al Malki, but the Al Malki was very strong during the whole weekend and it was not possible to overtake him'
Alex Cudlin – 2nd place'First of all I want to say that I am very happy to win this Championship again, it is my third title in a row. It is something I didn't expect many years ago when I joined the QMMF team for first time in 2009 for the Endurance Championship and in 2010 I took part for first time in the QIRRCH. And now, after four years, I have won this championship three times and the EWC Superstock title in 2010 with Mishal and Nasser and I am very happy and thanks to QMMF for all this opportunities and help me in my career. As for this weekend, we have a new bike, a Kawasaki and the bike is really good but as for the moment I don't have any setting, or data or anything to work with so now we are guessing with the setting but I think we know where to go now and with the right steps, we will go very fast because the bike is amazing for run but just need some refinement and then make a really good lap time. I congratulate Nasser for this weekend, he has been really fast from the first practice lap and he improve a a lot this weekend.'
Nasser Al Malki – 1st placeI am very happy for this weekend and my performance. I want to thank QMMF, BMW Alfardan and Al Rayyan TV and specially Mr. Nasser Khalifa Al Attiya , QMMF President, who pushed me for long time to give the best and this race prove that I am capable to do something. I was unluckily in the last races, but I am looking forward for my success and I will not look back and look forward. For sure the next season will be more competitive and more riders will fight for the first position.'
Race results:
Nasser Al Malki (Qat) 30:57.766 Alex Cudlin (aus) 31:02.177 Mishal Al Naimi (Qat) 31:03.514 Anthony Delhalle (Fra) 31:24.217 Nina Prinz (Ger) 31:45.956 Saeed Al Sulaiti (Qat) 31:50.601

Using art "as a positive touch-point" to inspire action and behavioural change, MELTDOWN is the latest museum exhibit tackling climate change. Curated by Project Pressure, a climate change charity, it will be on display for the summer at The Natural History Museum in Vienna.
Shroud-1 2018 by Simon Norfolk & Klaus Thymann/ Project Pressure via The Guardian
Over the last 11 years, Project Pressure has commissioned a series of world-renowned artists to conduct expeditions around the world. Centred on glaciers, the artists collaborated with scientists to frame their findings and creative interpretations. As key indicators of climate change, glaciers drive the narrative of the exhibit. Each interpretation frames the narrative in a scientific, illustrative, and poetic way while visualizing scale "from the planetary level to microscopic biological impact".
Broken down into three chapters, the exhibit begins by thematically exploring the importance of glaciers. It showcases "year-on-year comparative images" to "illustrate glacier mass loss and the impact of climate change," according to the curatorial statement. The second chapter tackles current issues by highlighting human dependence on water and how glacier recession impacts nation borders. The final chapter explores meltdown consequences by exploring well-known facts in juxtaposition with visualizations of the consequences of climate change.
Mount Baker, US, 2014 by Peter Funch/Project Pressure via The Guardian
The mission of the exhibit and of Project Pressure in general, is to "incite real behavioural change". Visitors can calculate their carbon footprint, explore the carbon-intensity of their lifestyles, and receive recommendations for improvements for their home, diet, energy use, and transportation habits, among others.

This trail gets down to business right away, and never lets up until you reach the top. The beginning is through featureless mixed conifer forest. Two thirds of the way up you reach a ridge, and start to get big views. The trees become gnarled whitebark pines. Look for Clarks Nutcrackers (like a large gray/black jay) feeding on whitebark cones. On the summit is a magnificent vista in all directions
The ambitious can follow the ridge from Magee out to the still-higher Crater Peak. One can find an old trail in places, or just follow the ridge to an easy scramble to the top

While the New England Patriots trailed late in Super Bowl 51, Mark Wahlberg and his family were caught on camera leaving the game early.
Naturally, people went crazy and roasted Wahlberg, practically Boston's official posterboy, for leaving the game before it ended.
On Monday, Wahlberg confronted the haters and explained why he had to leave the big game before the comeback was complete.
You can't roast Wahlberg for that. If anyone has a reason to leave the Super Bowl early, someone in their family being sick is definitely an okay reason to leave.
Even though he left early, Wahlberg obviously paid attention to the game as it wrapped up and made sure to rub it in the faces of his friends who like the Atlanta Falcons.
At the end of the day, this whole story isn't that important. Meanwhile, we still don't have an explanation from the President of the United States about why he left his party at his own golf resort early. But then again, there are more important issues to deal with.

Oregon is burning. You can probably feel it in your lungs.
But there's a welcome sight outside the window right now: rain. Air quality is still awful throughout Portland—this morning the city's air quality was ranked worst in the U.S. and second worst worldwide. But we've since dropped down to number eleven.
Good news, however! The National Weather Service Portland says today's temperatures—a little over 60 degrees Fahrenheit—are roughly 14 degrees cooler than they were 24 hours ago.
The agency adds that the rain brings with it another pleasant surprise: petrichor, or "a pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather."
As well, NWS notes, the smoke in Portland air is actually increasing the drizzle by giving water vapor a place to collect and form rain.
So, while misty blankets of haze percolate and linger over the city skyline, we ask you, creative readers, to send us your best Blade Runner inspired photos.

By Prince Osuagwu
WITH about 4.77 billion mobile phone users worldwide and 2.5 million applications available across digital marketplaces, smart phones have become an integral part of our lives, constantly being referred to as Personal Digital Assistant, PDA. Smart phones, have become learning centres, entertainment hubs, mobile offices, personal assistants and so much more, giving the impression that most users are still very much besotted by how much can be accomplished from such a device, enhanced further by many upgrades that occur from time to time.
The game changer
Apple's iPhone, HTC's One, and Samsung's Galaxy Note series all come to mind and have remained relevant, partly because they are attuned to catering to a large and diverse user base with incremental innovative iterations. However, the Samsung Galaxy S Series is in a class of its own as the game changer from a Korean company which started out selling dried Korean fish to Manchuria and Beijing in 1938.
The Samsung Galaxy S, announced in March 2010, was Samsung's first S series to enter the smart phone market. The device featured a 4-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touch screen display, and a 1GHz ARM Hummingbird processor. The smart phone was well received in tech circles and achieved more than decent sales figures of around 24 million worldwide becoming one of the highest selling smart phones in the market at the time. This legacy android phone was listed by TIME as the number two device in Top 10 Gadgets of 2010 while another tech review described it as the "new leader of the Android pack," praising the phone's superior all-round performance.
Samsung unpacked
Unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in February 2011, the Galaxy SII recorded a huge success with more than 20 million units sold worldwide within a year. The smart phone featured an improved Super AMOLED Plus screen that was expanded to 4.3 inches, a faster dual-core 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM and a superior Mali-400MP GPU. It also featured Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread which would eventually get as far as 4.1 Jelly Bean. In terms of storage space, 16GB and 32GB models were available. The camera was also bumped up to 8 megapixels and had a flash, while the 1650mAh battery was good for almost two days on an average use.
Galaxy SIII was announced at Samsung Unpacked event in London in May 2012, with the smart phone recording over 9 million pre-orders just two weeks after unveiling. Over 10 million units were sold in less than three months. Some phone aficionados referred to the device as "the best smart phone around right now."
The smart phone featured a Super AMOLED display screen of 4.8 inches, a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, a quad-core of 1.4GHz, 1GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel camera, and a storage of 16GB, 32GB and 64GB options were available. Thanks to its processing speed, design, battery life 2100mAh battery said to be good for about eight hours of heavy use, perfect blend of software, responsiveness, software upgrade which helped create better pictures than its predecessors, the device was said to be the favourite amongst other handsets in 2012 scoring highly in most areas.
Galaxy S4 was launched in April 2013 with a 5-inch Super AMOLED screen 1080 x 1920 pixel, an upgraded 13-megapixel camera, Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, a quad-core 1.6GHz, 2GB of RAM and 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of built-in storage as well as a 2600mAh battery that typically lasts at least the length of a day. Thanks to the slimmer design, unimaginable quality as well as the processor performance, Samsung sold 40 million units of the S4.
In February 2014 the Galaxy S5 was launched into the smartphone market with a heart rate sensor, a blazing fast autofocus, and a fingerprint scanner. The CPU was faster at 2.5GHz, the screen was larger at a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED HD option, the camera boosted to 16MP and the battery now rocking up at 2800mAh.
The 4.4.2 Android made things look slicker, an overhauling of the interface generally improved the flow through the device. The fitness elements were boosted through S Health 3.0, a holistic tracking app for your fitness; great camera, strong screen, impressive packaging, and a waterproof casing.
Successors to the Galaxy S5, the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge were carefully crafted from metal and glass; the Galaxy S6 edge, particularly, showed unique and outstanding beauty while also providing a solid grip and a remarkable viewing experience. Its glass body, made out of a fusion of Corning Gorilla Glass 4 (which is 50 percent stronger, tougher and more durable than any other Gorilla Glass) protected against sharp contact damage. The Galaxy S6 edge was described as the world's first-ever dual curved edge display, which distinguished the device as the ultimate premium smart phone.
The Galaxy S7 had a 5.1-inch display screen, while the Galaxy S7edge featured a 5.5-inch screen. They both featured Super AMOLED screens, allowing for clearer videos and images with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 (Quad HD). The devices were imbued with an ingenious Always-on feature, which gives access to certain information on the screen while the smartphone isn't completely turned on. A distinct unique feature of the S7 series is the fact that they are completely dust and water- proof. Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge both carry a resistance rating of IP68, meaning that the smartphones can survive being submerged in water for 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 metres.
The newest S series flagship smart phones have finally been unveiled The latest in its line-up, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are definitely a continuation of the Korean firm's successes.
The Galaxy S8 series builds on Samsung's heritage of creating stunning designs and functional devices. Available in 5.8-inch Galaxy S8 and 6.2-inch Galaxy S8+, the Infinity Display and bezel-less design form a smooth, continuous surface with no buttons or harsh angles. The compact design of the S8 series enables comfortable one-handed operation and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on both the front and back for durability and a high-quality finish.
The Super AMOLED display panel has an aspect ratio of 18.5:9 and a resolution of 2,960 x 1,440 resulting in a crisp display. Whatever you are watching, the large AMOLED screen will bring the content to life with rich colours, intricate details, and stunning definition. Apart from being water and dust resistant, the devices also offer five types of security technologies: iris recognition, face recognition, pattern, password, and PIN, users can easily choose their preferred method. With the face recognition, userscan instantly unlock their devices with a look.
Samsung has creditably discharged its duties as a massive player in the smartphone space, thanks to its high-end smartphones like the Note series and the Galaxy S line, recording a lot of exciting successes over the years. From the aforementioned, its legacy is firmly ensconced in the firmament of mobile telephony via the exquisite and intimate user experience it provides through every iteration.

Centrifugal Compressor Operations for 21st Century Users (CCOps): March 18-21, 2019 | Houston, TX
When faced with a new challenge at work, Laura Donnelly turned to a familiar resource to sharpen her skills for the project.
Donnelly, a rotating equipment specialist at ConocoPhillips in Houston, is responsible for overseeing the design of a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) facility that transports natural gas to shore. She reviews documents and drawings to ensure the FPSO's pumps and compressors will perform optimally, and analyzes 3D models to ensure equipment can be accessed for maintenance.
A colleague of Donnelly's told her about the Centrifugal Compressor Operations for 21st Century Users (CCOps) offered by the Turbomachinery Laboratory in March, and it piqued her interest.
"I took a Turbo Lab short course several years ago, and it was a very good course with top instructors," Donnelly said. "As soon as I learned about new course content that fit my current role, I signed up."
CCOps is intended for beginning-and intermediate-level professionals to accelerate their understanding of centrifugal compressors and how they are used in oil & gas applications. The course covers design aspects, aerodynamics, rotordynamics, the practical applications of installation, testing, commissioning and procurement.
The CCOps course taught Donnelly best practices for installing equipment offshore, including the design aspects that must be considered when assembling such equipment.
"My experience in CCOps was really great," Donnelly said. "The attendees come from all different backgrounds—some work for original equipment manufacturers and some are end-users—so you learn a lot about the issues people see in different industries. The instructors are experts in their fields, and they cater to the people attending."
Instructors include Jim Sorokes of Dresser-Rand, A Siemens Business, J. Jeffrey Moore of Southwest Research Institute, Mark Sandberg of Sandberg Turbomachinery Consulting, LLC, and Jigger Jumonville of Jumonville Engineering. The four instructors' combined experience surpasses 100 years.
Moore, a Texas A&M graduate, has taught the course for 10 years. Despite its history, the material stays fresh with additions of latest technological advancements and new case studies.
"What makes Turbo Lab short courses unique is not only discussions around cutting edge-technology, but the caliber of my fellow instructors," Moore said. "It's a good mix. Each of them has many years of experience in the industry, and some are consultants, while others are OEMs."

Issue #115
February 19th, 2019
Hey, lunch buddies. I hope everyone had a good Valentines week last week and that you were able to pull away from work to have a fun evening/weekend with your significant others.
Last week (In addition to scrambling for Valentine's day) I noticed a trend in transparency posts. Nick Eubanks wrote about his agencies fees including not taking on projects less than $30K. Steven shares how his SEO team was failing (and his solution!). Finally, Luke published a post about growing his in-house SEO team into what he now considers his "dream team". Tactical posts are great (and are what you'll see most of in this newsletter) but I thought these posts were a really great change-up and definitely worth a share.
Enjoy this weeks newsletter!
What You Need To Know
Article: Feb 12/13 algorithm update fluctuation continues through the weekend.
What's important?
Many in the industry reported turbulence in the search results on or around Feb 12/13. Berry continues to report that into the weekend users are still seeing fluctuations in organic traffic.
Nick's take:
Algorithm updates happen all the time. This update occurred around the same time that IRS.com and DMV.org took a nosedive so I've had my finger on the pulse of this update. If your site was impacted in this update it might be due to Google thinking your site is imitating another entity or resource.

What do you look forward to doing at Christmas? Do you go caroling? Make cookies? Read Twas the Night Before Christmas?
I can admit that I'm a sucker for holiday traditions—I have a list of things I want to do every year—but they aren't all "traditional" traditions. We do, of course, put up lights and a tree and our nativity, but who doesn't? Before I tell you about my favorite traditions, let me tell you about some of the things that I don't do.
- Cookies. I enjoy holiday treats, and I've been known to occasionally bake cookies with others, but don't expect to get decorated sugar cookie cut outs from me. I can appreciate the time and energy that goes into making them, I'm just not willing to do it myself.
- Classic Christmas cartoons. I've never been a fan of any of the Charlie Brown movies (will someone PLEASE stand up for that kid!), the Grinch scared me from an early age, and for some reason stop-animation makes me homesick (don't ask me to explain it—I can't). Don't wait for me to watch Rudolph or Frosty with you. You go ahead. I'll catch up later.
- Christmas Eve service. It's not that I have anything against it, but my church doesn't have one. Our pastors split their time between Michigan and Indiana, but their family is in Indiana. That's where you'll find them on Christmas Eve. Keep reading to find out where you'll find me.
- One-piece pajamas. Thumbs up to those of you who like the Christmas onesie, but at some point I'll need to use the bathroom, and Decembers in Michigan are too cold for that kind of nonsense (even if it does look cute in a photo).
Am I starting to sound like the Grinch yet? I promise you, that's not me! In fact, my tree has been up since November 2! I just celebrate a little differently. Here are my favorite annual Christmas traditions:
- Chex Mix. But not just original flavor! Buffalo and Taco Chex Mix are popular around here, as are Snickerdoodle, Caramel, and—of course—Puppy Chow.
- Egg Nog. Yes, this is traditional, and I love it! I couldn't stand the smell of it for years, but it's been a necessity at our house ever since I got married.
- Christmas movies. There are the obvious choices: The Holiday, The Santa Clause (I-III), and Elf.There are also the non-traditional choices: While You Were Sleeping, Little Women, and Die Hard (I & II). I love these films!
- Classic Christmas movies. It's a Wonderful Life, White Christmas,and Holiday Inn. Sigh. Yes, please.
- Buffalo Wild Wings. The Christmas dinner is always yummy—roasted veggies, turkey or ham, potatoes,pie—but whew! It's a lot of hard work. That's why we go simple for Christmas Eve: BWW, chocolate malts, and a movie. It's one of my favorite nights of the year.
What do you do around your house? Which tradition do you dread the most? Which one do you love the most?
And if I don't see you before then, have a safe and blessed Christmas!

Sometimes when I finish a book I pop right on over to Goodreads to see what others thought. Not always of course, but usually when I'm feeling 2.5 stars about a book – did another reader see something in it that I missed? Was another reader irritated by elements of the story? Most often, reading other reviews tips me to a firm two stars or three stars. Such was the case with Nicci Cloke's Someday Find Me.
It's billed as a 'shocking and thought-provoking love story'- that's probably stretching it a little. All you need to know is that it's the story of Fitz, 25, and his girlfriend, Saffy. Saffy has an eating disorder and after years of being 'okay', is slipping.
"Hunger is a cavity, carefully hollowed out, but emptiness is a void, borderless and infinite."
As Fitz and Saffy's story plays out, so too does the one of Fate Jones – a student who has disappeared (and the whole of Britain is looking for her).
"People were pulling Fate Jones to them, but not for her sake, for their own… By saying 'Fate Jones is missing', they were secretly shouting 'I'm still here!'"
So why was I feeling '2.5' about this book? I understood why Cloke included the sub-plot about Fate Jones but it felt overplayed. The characters of Saffy and Fitz were strong enough to stand alone and an initial reference to Fate may have been enough. Instead, Fate's story is revisited (but not really progressed) multiple times, it's purpose to illustrate the fact that you are not truly 'lost' if people care enough to look for you.
What I did like was Cloke's first person account of addiction, and two very different perspectives on addiction, at that. Saffy has an eating disorder, and drinks and takes drugs to escape life. Fitz, while not dependent on alcohol and drugs (but partakes), is a gambling addict. Neither Saffy or Fitz ever really acknowledge that they have a problem. Cloke's writing see-saws between jittery and blasé – it's not remarkable but it's good, solid stuff.
"I looked at the scores rolling in on the vidiprinter at the bottom of the screen, and it was just the atmosphere of that place, it did something to me. Just knowing one day it would be you with the ticket clutched in your hand, jumping up and down like a prat, and even if it wasn't there's still the nice sadness of losing."
2.5/5 It gets three stars on Goodreads.
Fitz buys Saffy her favourite thing – pink apples. There's a bunch of recipes using Pink Lady apples here but as many of them include meat (and we all know that meat and hot fruit is the work of the devil), head straight for this apple, pineapple and lemon juice.

BELLMAWR, N.J. (CBS) — Bellmawr police responded to a different type of call Sunday night.
Officers from the department honored their youngest officer, giving him a Halloween to remember.
Police dropped off candy for AJ Gonzales, a sick young boy and now an honorary Bellmawr police officer.
Thousands Of Runners Cross Ben Franklin Bridge To Raise Money For Great Cause
Gonzales was unable to go trick-or-treating, but the police department did their best to make up for that.
"In the police world, no officer fights alone and that goes for our fellow partner," the Bellmawr Police Department's Facebook post said.

Do you ever wonder what it was like for your parents when they were kids? I don't think about my dad's youth as much as I do my mom's. That's probably because she was the rule-maker of our home.
And the enforcer too.
When I was a kid, I didn't think about or care what made her the way she was, I was more concerned with ducking her flip-flop as she tried to swat me with it for not doing what I was told.
But as an adult, I have to wonder what it was like for her growing up in that little farmhouse in Michigan with four brothers and three sisters.
She was born in the spring of 1924, unless you go by what her headstone reads. Not sure how that happened, but it's off by a year. She was the second child of eight, in a home that would soon be crowded.
She was also a daughter, during the Great Depression, to simple farm folks trying to survive during a time that was filled with uncertainty. I have only one photo of her as a child, and not one photo of her smiling.
I can imagine it must have been hard growing up in those times, and know that must have shaped her and her parenting style. But I wish I had more information about her day-to-day life when she was young.
By the time she was my mom, she was 35 and had already experienced so much hardship.
I was also her ninth child, so I don't think there was a lot of patience left for me. Can you imagine having nine children by the age of 35?
Looking back now, I can sort of understand why she had some of her rules, but back then I just thought she was mean. One of the most frustrating rules for me was, I had to clean my plate of all the food she had served me.
She would make me sit at the table, for hours if necessary, and finish every bite of food on that damn plate. I'm surprised I don't have food issues from that, but maybe I do and don't know it.
I hated eating meat.
The reasoning behind that was, the meat I was eating was out in the yard or a pen earlier and it had eyes and ears and a mouth and a personality. At least I imagined it had a personality.
So I devised ways of tricking her and the system to get the food off my plate, but not in my mouth. I got good at it too. In my heart I want to believe she knew of my tricks and gave me those wins, but I know that's not the case.
She wasn't the kind of mother that gave us wins. Could it be because she had so few triumphs in her life? I'll never know the answer to that question, and so many more.
So I make them up to fill in the gaps and blank spots of who my mother was. And that will just have to do for now.

Dame Ellen MacArthur
Fastest person to sail single-handed around the World non-stop
Ellen MacArthur is the fastest person to sail single-handed around the world non-stop - completing the gruelling trip in an amazing 71 days 14 hours 18 minutes and 33 seconds. She achieved this victory in February 2005 in her 75 ft trimaran B&Q. Ellen is a truly remarkable young woman, not to mention being the fastest woman and youngest person to circumnavigate the earth in a solo yacht race.
Ellen's drive and determination are awe-inspiring, thousands follow her race progress on the Internet and hoards of people flock down to the quayside to see her off on a race. Ellen's record is a feat of mammoth endurance, speed and sheer physical and mental willpower in the face of overwhelming adversity.
Ellen's inspiration was sparked off by sailing trips, at the age of 8, in the holidays with her aunt. Her first boat was an 8ft dinghy which was the result of saving up her school dinner money for 3 years. At 18 Ellen sailed alone around Britain and subsequently won 'BT/YJA Young Sailor of the Year'. In order to raise sponsorship to compete in a transatlantic race, she lived in a portakabin for 3 years, took a one-way ticket to France, bought and refitted a tiny 21ft Classe Mini Yacht while camping under it in a boatyard, then raced 4,000m single-handed across the Atlantic over 33 days in the 1997 'Mini Transat' race.
She then went on to complete in the famous Route De Rhum transatlantic race and despite the failure of her keel hydraulics, Ellen won her class on an Open 50. In 1998 she was named BT/YJA Yachtsman of the Year in the UK and 'Sailings Young Hope' in France.
Ellen, at 24 years old and just 5'2" was one of two women and, with Mike Golding, two British challengers in the 20+ strong international fleet that completed in the Vendee Globe 2000 race, the toughest challenge that the world's oceans have to offer: 100 days alone at sea from the 5th November 2000, racing around the world.
A 'Jack of all Trades', Ellen is an expert skipper, electrician, sail-maker, engineer, journalist, cameraman, doctor.. unfortunately thought, not yet a great cook! Saving weight is critical, eating freeze-dried foodstuffs can significantly save weight on the boat - all Ellen has to worry about is not burning the water! Through her work with leading chronobiologist Claudio Stampi, has trained to sleep for as little as 20 minutes at a time to avoid fatigue, which can be life-endangering.
Ellen was awarded the MBE in the 2001 Queen's Birthday Honours list.
Dame Ellen MacArthur is a highly sought-after motivational speaker. Having conquered the oceans, sailing single-handed around the world in record time, Ellen has won the nation's heart and is one of the best-loved elite sports personalities of our time. Ellen's charismatic personality, inspirational story, amazing achievements, and excellent speaking ability make her a highly engaging and gifted speaker.
The Story
Dame Ellen MacArthur is renowned for her ambition, professionalism and determination to succeed. Her story is not just about sailing, rather one of human endeavour! Ellen's way of approaching life - her innovative thinking and the challenges she seeks for herself inspire audiences to make their innermost dreams come true!
In her stunning presentations Ellen inspires, motivates, breaks down barriers and encourages us to achieve the impossible with her stories of overcoming incredible hardships, digging deep into her emotional reserves and finally achieving the impossible.

Our 4th day saw us returning to the farm to finish what we had started. Our coffee beans had been moved into the second tank for their final washings, after which they were loaded into baskets to be taken to the drying beds to dry.
I was able to be part of the process as the beans need to be moved around the tank to help break down the mucilage that is still stuck to them, and to help remove any beans that aren't ripe. In the picture above, everything floating on the surface will be skimmed off and sold as a lower grade coffee locally. Below the surface are the beans ready to be drained and washed again before being put out to dry. We then carried the washed coffees over to the drying beds where they will be left for the next 3 days to dry before being packaged to be taken to the mill to have the parchment removed, the beans graded and prepared for export. It was a great experience to be able to see the entire process.
Laura took us on a late morning hike up one of the hills that they grow their coffee on. We enjoyed a small picnic with local fruit, guava chips, and a tutti frutti type drink with juice and fresh fruit cut up in it. Very refreshing. It was a fantastic way to end our time at the farm.
We then returned to our house for another fantastic local meal, and then had the afternoon to relax before we hit the road tomorrow for 5 days of travel and farm visits. It will be a busy 5 days, so the down time was very welcome.

It's been a while since I've done a Throwback Thursday post come to think of it the last one I wrote was on CKY's Vol 1.
Anyway, here it comes a little review on the game I've prepared even a video of me playing the game.
You are a new stuntman on the scenes that have been employed to shoot and record for 6 new films.
- Aftershock
- A Whoopin' and a Hollerin' II
- Strike Force Omega
- Overdrive
- Never Kill Me Again
- Night Avenger
Each film has six scenes, the goal being to complete objectives set out by the director in each scene.
There is also a Multiplayer mode on this game which features two different race types. Backlot battle focuses on performing as many stunts as possible within a set number of laps, while the backlot race mode is a more straightforward race where you can earn bursts of nitro by doing stunts.
Here is my Video of me playing the game!
Now confession time I've never played this game until now, I know shock horror but after playing this game I can say that I like the technical side and development of the game and the effort THQ have put into this game and I actually enjoyed playing the game and trying to get top marks on every scene.
For the time it was released I can see why people loved playing the series I just don't know what I was playing when this came out and why I missed playing it but I'm now glad I tried it with Microsoft giving it Free in the Games with Gold this month.
I'm going to give this a 3/5 Stars for the time it was released it was a complex game and was fun giving it a go trying to be the best stuntman!
But what do you Warriors think? Let me know in the comments below!
Thanks for reading!

The statement on the call, attributable to State Department Spokeswoman Heather Nauert, takes a stronger position against than the one taken by US President Donald Trump the day prior.
"President Bashar al-Assad of Syria must not recklessly attack Idlib Province. The Russians and Iranians would be making a grave humanitarian mistake to take part in this potential human tragedy," Trump tweeted on Monday. "Hundreds of thousands of people could be killed. Don't let that happen!"
Comment: That's rich, considering the US bombardment of Raqqa not too long ago
- US-led coalition confirms Syria's Raqqa completely liberated - Stunning drone footage shows Raqqa completely leveled
- Russian MoD: 'Thousands of rotting corpses' under ruins of Raqqa a public health crisis
- Russia compares US bombing of Raqqa to WWII destruction of Dresden
Now, it appears that the State Department is expanding the White House's red line. While Trump cautioned against a "reckless attack," the State Department, in conjunction with the Turkish Foreign Ministry, is calling "any Assad military offensive" in Idlib "unacceptable."
Pompeo and Cavusoglu "agreed that any Assad regime military offensive in Idlib would be an unacceptable, reckless escalation of the conflict in Syria," the statement reads.
As the Syrian government, backed by Russian air power, has liberated major cities and districts from the jihadists since the start of the war more than seven years ago, they have allowed the militants to evacuate into Idlib. Now, there are fears the province could be the site of a chemical attack, with the UN special representative for Syria warning that militants there are capable of producing weaponized chlorine and Russia saying it has evidence of plans for of plans for chemical provocations by jihadists.
Comment: Moscow receives tip on White Helmets and Jabhat Al-Nusra working together to plot chemical weapons provocation in Syria
On Friday, the United Nations Security Council will convene to discuss the situation in Idlib, US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley told reporters on Tuesday.

The incredible implosion of WeWork is only something that happens at the latter end of a cycle.
We learned yesterday that the shared workspace company would cut 30% of its workforce or about 4,000 jobs.
The company has effectively run out of cash, as it never told investors in the S1 filing, that if it didn't IPO, it would go bankrupt.
SoftBank has thrown financial lifelines to WeWork, but nothing is guaranteed.
The collapse of WeWork and its attempt to IPO last month has been an opportune moment for the Chinese equivalent, Ucommune, to start the IPO process.
Sources told Reuters on Friday that China's biggest shared workspace company is about to file a confidential prospectus with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a US IPO launch.
This is huge news since the market was expecting WeWork to IPO in September.
The source said the Beijing-based company had a valuation of $2.6 billion in 2018 and has appointed Bank of America, Citigroup, and Credit Suisse to work on the deal.
While market conditions certainly don't support any further IPOs for this year, something that we highlighted in a note earlier this month. The sources said Ucommune is waiting on feedback from large investors to see if the time is right to list shares in the US -- something that might infuriate the White House.
We recently reported that Nasdaq is cracking down on small capitalized companies from China looking to IPO, those with a $100 to $200 million cap -- so with Ucommune allegedly worth several billion dollars, it might escape the crackdown.
The source said a "deal" could be completed before the end of the year. The vagueness of what a "deal" actually means, leaves us with many questions.
Ucommune has 200 shared workspaces in 37 countries, including locations in New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shanghai. The company said on its website that more than 350 sites could be opened in the next several years.
As WeWork dies, the Chinese version of it thrives, now expecting to file for a US IPO by year-end.

Industrial & Manufacturing Blog
Bent metal pipes and tubes are necessary for numerous functional and aesthetic applications, particularly in construction and fluid conveyance. If your commercial or industrial operation requires these types of custom products, there are multiple factors that you must evaluate before commissioning the fabrication process. One of these critical elements is the choice of pipe or tube. There are certain aspects which you must think about such as your application and tube size requirements. However, there are other less apparent elements which affect the general quality of the formed bends. Here are the most crucial considerations to help you choose an ideal metal pipe for bending.
Material formability
Metal pipes are made from numerous types of materials, and your choice will determine the ease with which the tubing can be bent. Different types of metals have varying levels of formability or malleability. Some materials such as aluminum are highly malleable, so they are easy to form during tube bending processes. This means that the total project costs will be lower. If a pipe is made from a hard or resilient metal such as steel, it will be harder to form. On the other hand, highly malleable metals do not exhibit high strength like alternatives. Choose a material that balances your strength requirements and formability for your potential application.
Pipe wall thickness
You should think about the wall thickness before choosing a pipe for your metal bending process. This aspect of the tube can affect the quality of the final product and consequently, its long-term usability. In general, a pipe with thicker walls is more preferable, especially if you would like to have tight bends. This is because the outer wall will stretch as the fabricator bends the tube. If the walls are too thin, the integrity of the pipe will be compromised. The entire product will also be damaged if the tube tears. However, if the pipe is too thick, the inner wall will accumulate compressed metal. This means that the tube will not be compact and neat after bending.
Preferred bending technique
Finally, you should consider the forming method which will be utilised during the pipe bending project. Some tubing products will create better, and higher quality bends with specific fabrication techniques. For instance, mechanical bending processes such as rotary and press bending are ideal for strong and non-brittle metal pipes. An alternative method like induction bending utilises localised heat to increase formability, so all types of metal pipes can be used.Share

Welcome to my piece of the internet. My name is John, and I imagine you found this blog while looking for information about industrial or manufacturing concepts. I recently decided to start this blog because I needed somewhere that I could share my research. I recently moved to a small town, and I'm trying to attract factory owners to set up shop there. As a result, I have done an immense amount of research into these fields. I figure the more I know the easier it will be to pitch our town to business owners. Anyway, this blog is a separate project to that. It's just a space where I want to share tips and ideas related to manufacturing. I love writing, and I hope that you enjoy reading my posts. More importantly, I hope they help you make your business more productive. Thanks for reading!

About Us
WELCOME to the 29th Annual King Mackerel Tournament here in "The Ferry." Five years ago, while vacationing on Topsail Island, I was introduced to the KMT and Sneads Ferry when I decided to get lunch at Madison's and drop in on the local Rotary Club to see what they were all about. I was a visiting Rotarian from Indiana at the time. I left that meeting with a full stomach, a full introduction to the King Mackerel Tournament, and an empty wallet after purchasing raffle tickets and tee shirts.
Since then, my wife and I have relocated here and I became a member of the Rotary club. For this year's tournament I have the honor and privilege of serving as the club's president. That's quite a leap from last year when I experienced my first KMT in person that included the honor of carrying the traditional tournament gut bucket. I also got to see our community come together in support of this annual event, and how that support comes right back into the community. That's the spirit of Rotary.
An event like this is only possible when there are willing and hard-working club members who step in and step up to do the work. I'm grateful for a club with members who are selfless with their giving and effort.
We also have great sponsors to help make the tournament successful. For that, we are grateful. With that success, we're able to give back to the community through awarding youth scholarships, providing aid to individuals, families, and organizations, and conducting a number of service projects throughout the year, like the new rescue tube stations along North Topsail Beach that were installed last year.
There are over 35,000 Rotary clubs throughout the region, nation, and world that allows Rotarians to join efforts and do great things everywhere. Rotary members believe in a shared responsibility to take action and work together to promote peace, fight disease, provide clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, save mothers and children, support education, and grow local economies.
The mission of Rotary is to provide service, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace. We also just like to have some fun. So come and join us for lunch at Madison's on any Wednesday at noon.
I'll see you at the Captain's Dinner and the Tournament! It's time to go fishing!
Scott Franko
President, Rotary Club of Sneads Ferry
