Revolution and Evolution is The Key to This Year's ASAE Technology Conference and Expo in National Harbor, MD
Let's connect at the 2018 ASAE Tech Conference! As Scitent readies to attend this year's American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) Technology Conference & Expo (December 4-5), we ponder ASAE's question, "Is it the revolutionary or evolutionary spirit that should drive your organization?"
Revolution vs. Evolution
When it comes to technology, things move and change so quickly that it is hard to keep up. Your association either evolves by adapting through gradual progression, or experiences a revolution and adapts to what is needed through a momentous innovation.
Whether it is an evolution, or a revolution, every association grows and changes to keep up with the newest technology. Scitent can help your association build a learning program with your existing content, providing you a creative, innovative eLearning library which will keep you at the forefront of technology with your association members and the larger community.
eLearning As a Source of Revenue
This revolutionary learning experience should also be a driver of non-dues revenue for our partners. For associations, non-dues revenue streams are critical to bringing other programs to life and breaking out of confined budgets. With our unique eLearning distribution technology (PROPEL™ Extended Enterprise Distribution) and included business and marketing services, we help make that a reality.
Dreaming Big
At Scitent, we believe in the motto "Dream Big." Whatever drives your association should be the evolution or revolution that sparks inspired thinking. If you're dreaming big this year, let's talk. Meet us at the 2018 ASAE Tech Conference and learn how we can transform your content into a profitable eLearning business.
Meet Us at the 2018 ASAE Tech Conference!
We hope to see you there!

US loan prices fall amid equity market selloff
NEW YORK, Dec 6 - The US leveraged loan market remained pressured Thursday amid a selloff in equity markets.
Loans early Thursday were down between 50bp to 200bp with some of the bigger deals that had already been challenged in the market feeling the weight of the volatility.
The term loan fοr Refinitiv – Blackstοne Grοup bοught a 55% stake in Thomsοn Reuters' Financial & Risk business earlier this year – was quoted as low as 96-97 Thursday, down abοut a pοint frοm Tuesday.
"Early in the mοrning there was definitely a panic feel," said a trader. "But some guys are nοw stepping in, even as the Dow is still down."
At least οne firm sought to take advantage of the volatility, releasing a US$335m OWIC seeking US$5m slices of a number of loans including Acadia Healthcare's tranche B3 term loan and HCA's tranche B-10 term loan, accοrding to a pοrtfοlio manager.
The SMi100, which tracks the 100 mοst widely held loans, has fallen 173bp since October 1 to 97.14 οn December 4.
Loan funds saw their third straight week of outflows, with investοrs pulling US$1bn frοm the funds in the week ending December 5, accοrding to Lipper.
The Dow Jοnes Industrial Average was down mοre than 1.3% οn Thursday at arοund 3:15 p.m. and has fallen mοre than 6% since the start of October to Tuesday.
The primary loan market has nοt been immune to the volatility, with upward price revisiοns in November, including οn spread and οriginal issue discοunt , soaring to their highest levels since June, accοrding to LPC data. There were 17 upward price flexes last mοnth, up frοm seven in October. In cοntrast, price cuts fell frοm 23 in October to nine in November, the lowest mοnthly level in two years.
At least five loan transactiοns were pulled frοm the market in November including Perimeter Solutiοns and Jasοn Inc, accοrding to LPC data, and a number of deals have had to significantly increase the discοunt they were sold at in οrder to clear the market.
"I have seen a number of cases where banks have applied aggressive discοunts thrοugh their fees because they want to get the paper off their bοoks," said a secοnd pοrtfοlio manager. "It is a little unusual... nοrmally banks would sit οn loans in a market like this and anticipate a better day."
Digital interactiοn specialist ELO Touch Solutiοns οn Thursday revised terms οn a US$360m cοvenant-lite term loan it is seeking to back its buyοut by Crestview Partners, lowering the OID to 95 frοm a priοr range of 97-98, accοrding to a secοnd source. It was already offering to pay 650bp over Libοr, but also revised amοrtizatiοn to 5% per year frοm 1%, added the source.
"As far as loans gο, the cοrrectiοn is pretty serious," a seniοr banker said.

What is the Corporate Business Structure?
When utilizing the corporate business structure, you create a legal entity separate from its owners/founders that has been formed to conduct some specified type of business. The entity faces its own tax obligations, as well as liability for its actions, must meet various formality, regulation, and tax requirements, and, as a result, is more complex and expensive to create and maintain than other business structures.
What are the Main Advantages of the Corporate Business Structure?
Without a doubt, the biggest incentive to form a corporation, particularly in the case of a small business owner, is the protection afforded to that individual owner from liability. Not only is the owner not liable for the corporation's debt, but the owner is also able to avoid paying income tax on some of the annual profits kept by the corporation. An additional monetary incentive of the corporate form of business is its ability to raise capital by way of selling common or preferred stock.
What are the Main Disadvantages of the Corporate Business Structure?
As mentioned above, the corporate business form is complex and, as a result, often requires the assistance of an experienced attorney to navigate through the formation process. And, even once the corporation has been formed, there are a wide variety of rules and regulations to follow, as well as reports to file and accounting matters to be aware of. As can be expected, this increased complexity results in increased costs. Additionally, as the corporation is a separate legal – and therefore taxable – entity, it must, except in certain narrow situations, pay corporate income tax. Its owners then, are required to report on their individual tax returns any earnings distributed to them from the corporation, which may result in, effectively, "double taxation."
What is an S Corporation?
Often used by small-business owners, the S corporation provides the same personal liability protection as a traditional corporation, but also offers tax benefits that are unavailable with the traditional corporate structure. Specifically, taxable corporate profits and losses "pass-through" to the shareholders of the corporation, who then report those amounts on their personal income tax returns. As to be expected, there are some disadvantages to, and requirements that hinder access to, the S corporation. First and foremost, and different from that of a traditional corporation, there is a cap on the number of shareholders that an S corporation may have. The S corporation is also subject to the formality, regulation, and filing requirements of a traditional corporation, which means that while it does offer great tax benefits, it is also a complex and expensive entity to create and maintain.
If you think that the corporate business structure may be the right fit for your new business enterprise, please give us a call so that our experienced attorneys can help walk you through the myriad complexities of corporate formation and maintenance.

Check out Kennametal's I.C.E. Blade. This blade is perfect for use on rough roads that beat up standard carbide blade. The isolated carbides will keep damage from spreading thoughout the whole blade, making this product last several times longer in many applications.
Kennametal I.C.E. Series
The new Kennametal I.C.E. Series™ (Isolated Carbide Edge) blades feature individual bullet-shaped solid carbide tips in the blade edge for maximum fracture resistance in tough, high-impact road conditions. These bullet-shaped inserts resist fractures better than traditional rectangle and trapezoid styles. Each insert is separated by steel to prevent fractures from traveling between inserts and causing damage along the length of the blade. I.C.E. Series blades are more aggressive in hard-packed snow and ice than straight-edged blades and keep de-icing materials more effectively on the road surface. Perfect for rough road conditions like:
- Especially effective in applications involving imbedded lane
markers and rumble strips — greatly reducing blade breakage.
- Ideal for high-speed plowing over roads with excessive joints,
cracks, or uneven surfaces.
- Ultra-durable, dome-shaped carbide inserts are securely mounted
and strategically isolated from one another to provide optimum
fracture resistance throughout the entire blade length.
- Available in 3′ and 4′ (7/8"-thick; 5"-high) sections that can
be easily installed and rotated on the plow for balanced wear
throughout a season.
- Patented design.

"The world thus appears as a complicated tissue of events, in which connections of different kinds alternate or overlap or combine and thereby determine the texture of the whole." (Heisenberg, Physics and Philosophy, 1963)
When you walk through the Northwest Airlines Terminal in Detroit, you enter the Tunnel of Light. The long passageway between concourses is illuminated in myriad cascades of colored lights dancing through the spectrum ( or chakra colors if you're from Asheville). Ethereal music accompanies travelers on the moving sidewalk as they glide, scurry and saunter in silhouette, like characters in a Milan Kundera novel, in both directions. Ahead of you is an archway with escalators moving into the brightly lit terminals. Is it the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel or the white light that apparently greets each of us on our transition into the afterlife? Neither. The escalators deposit you in the glaring light of fast food restaurants, departure gates and slouching guards of the Department of Homeland Security. Nevertheless, my companions and I joke about the possibility that indeed, we are dead and entering the "bardo", the Tibetan term for the transitional place the soul visits on its trip to eternity.
My companions and I are heading to Rochester for a workshop. We have a long layover, there are complicated connections from Asheville to Rochester, but we are in good spirits. Even after our flight is cancelled and we face another 5 hours in the airport, we make the best of it. Regina and I go for a "power walk" around the entire terminal. We window shop at stores like The Pampered Pet, where you can buy a fur lined condo for your cat ( would that be like wearing shoes made out of your brother?). I resist the lure of a massage at the Oxygen Spa, instead purchasing the book Secrets of A Millionaire Mind. The book offers a series of declarations, like "I am changing my financial blueprint." After each declaration, you point your finger to your forehead and declare, "I have a millionaire mind." The bookstore offers a deal, buy the book and if you return it within six months, you get 50% of the purchase price back. Millionaires probably don't think about things like that. A millionaire would have gone for the massage. As we lie on the floor at the gate doing yoga stretches and Feldenkrais exercises, Betty muses on whether someone could really live in an airport the way Tom Hanks did in the movie The Terminal. We perish the thought and are relieved when we finally board for Rochester.
The return trip has another long layover in Detroit. With our new millionaire minds, we splurge on a Japanese dinner. One of us voices the unspeakable, "Let's hope this flight isn't cancelled as well." Cancel the thought that the flight is cancelled! When we return, the monitor at our gate is blank. I run to the airport screens. There it is – Flight 864 to Asheville, CANCELLED. "Rebooking is at gate 21," an imperious woman tells me at Gate 15. As we approach Gate 21, our hearts sink. The line snakes out into the concourse. We get behind a stocky, Slavic looking man and I ask, "Is this the cancellation line for Asheville?" He smiles, and in a thick Russian accent that speaks of endless years on line says, "It is the cancellation line to everywhere."
Nothing moves for the next hour as more travelers arrive. Burlington, Elmira, Oklahoma City – we are all going nowhere. You read about us in the morning paper over coffee, "Thousands of passengers stranded as "Rising Gas Prices force Cancelled Flights", "Northwest files for Chapter 11, cancels 50% of flights". At the front of the line, livid passengers are trying to demand their money back from shellshocked employees who stare blankly into space. Betty shrugs and says, "Well, at least I'm not getting rescued from my roof by the Coast Guard." Yes, yes, we all agree, things could be so much worse. I recall an NPR piece where they interviewed children evacuated from New Orleans. The reporter asks, "What has the experience been like for you?"
"We're having so much fun! First there was all this water coming in and we had to sit on the roof of our house. Then these men put us in boats and we got to ride through the streets. Then we got to sleep in the SuperDome! And there were so many people to meet. And we got sandwiches and bottles of water. And now, we get to go to live in Colorado!"
"Do you know anything about Colorado?"
"Oh yes, I know it's beautiful!"
As we are herded to yet another line, we get giddy. We take on the attitude of the children.
"And we got to spend ALL DAY in this big airport with lots of stores, even a MacDonalds. And there was this tunnel with lights and music and people could go on this moving sidewalk. And then they cancelled our flight again, and I got to talk to a man from Russia!"
They're putting us up at the Romulus Marriot. When I call my husband, he admonishes me to watch out for Klingons. As the rag tag travelers stumble yet again through The Tunnel of Light towards Ground Transportation, a man bound for Allentown engages me in conversation. "I just came from Green Bay. Guess I won't get to work on time tomorrow, I'm a dentist you see. But my son works with me, he can just work harder tomorrow. And then next week, I do this same trip."
"Are you some kind of dental consultant that you have to travel to Green Bay so much?"
"Oh, no, this is for fun."
"You fly to Green Bay for fun?"
"I go hunting."
"You fly to Wisconsin to hunt. What do you hunt?"
"Small birds. Grouse. Woodcock. You know what a woodcock is?"
A bizarre memory surfaces. I'm 9 years old and my cousins have been hunting. They've arrived at our house with a bag of woodcock. My mother has prepared them and we all sit at the table. My father announces that the way to eat woodcock is by draping a cloth over your head to envelope the plate so that you quaff the odor of the small bird sitting there. That's how they ate it in the French Court. We are all sitting at the table looking like we are inhaling Vicks VapoRub. The bird tastes like dirt. I wonder when my Dad was in the French Court and why he never told me he played tennis.
"Yes, I know what woodcock is."
At 6 AM, we are back in the airport, now routed through Newark for a connecting flight to Asheville. We board and take off on time. I'm excited. I might make it back to teach my one o'clock class. As the plane descends, Regina jokes, "Well, it would be funny if they don't let us land for some reason." Suddenly, the plane banks and begins circling.
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, you may have noticed that we've on a holding pattern. Apparently visibility in Newark is less than a mile and so no one is landing or taking off. We'll be going nowhere for a while." A half hour later: "Well, ladies and gentlemen, our fuel situation will not allow us to stay up here any longer. We are being re-routed to JFK. We'll keep you posted."
In David Cronenberg's movie eXistenZ, players in a virtual reality game interact with characters who respond to specific cues. If the proper cue is not given, or if it is not time for them to enter the game, they stand in a holding pattern until the proper words trigger their involvement. I ponder the possibility that I am suddenly a non-playing character in someone else's game. Something has put me on hold.
Needless to say, we miss our connection and were now unwilling guests of the Continental Terminal at Newark Airport. "And then we missed our flight and we got to ride in this really cool train that rode up in the sky to another terminal! And the man at the Continental desk was so nice – he fixed all our tickets so we could sit together. And we got to go through the security thing again. And the conveyor belt got stuck and this lady's computer fell off the belt. That was really funny. And this airport had better stores and a zillion restaurants and we got all our food for free because the airline gave us vouchers!"
Who would have thought that Continental Airport would feel like home? The corridors welcome me. "Hello Jersey Girl. Hang around." I start calling old friends. Almost make a lunch date before I remember, wait, I don't live in NJ. I live in Asheville. Don't I? Or do I live in an airport? As we approach our gate we duck into the ladies' room. I head for "my stall" the stall that always seemed open when I've been in this terminal. When I realize I have a habitual toilet stall in an airport ladies' room I haven't visited in years, I force myself to choose another. If I am in someone's virtual reality game, I'm not going to follow the program.
. We stop for coffee and tea at Seattle's Best Coffee. We are happy we're not having coffee at Starbucks. Our little Twilight Zone world has over 5 cafes to choose from. We pick a little table "outdoors." There are plastic boxwood hedges that separate us from the transients. I hand Betty her Frappucino, except that here they call it a JavaKula with a little TM after it. Her eyes get big. "Wow! Look at all that whipped cream!" She sips. "Oh, boy, it tastes just like I imagined it." Regina pulls out her extra long tea bag. "Wow! Look at this amazing tea bag! I've never seen anything like it!" We all concur. Life is becoming wondrous. I lean my elbow on the boxwood as we drink in the canned air. We smile at each other, fellow travelers on a road to an unknown destination.
We have all the time in the world. So we go shopping. We wander into the Metropolitan Museum Store. It becomes very important for me to buy my husband Ron some hieroglyphic rubber stamps since I never buy him presents. And after all, now I have a millionaire mind! Regina is ecstatic over a computer mousepad that is designed like a mini-Boukharian rug. But then…"$20! No way I'm paying $20 for that. I don't need a mousepad."
"But think of how happy you'll be each time you look at it."
"It is really great isn't it."
"It's awesome."
"I never use my computer at home anymore."
"So take it to work!"
"Pshaw! I can't do that!"
"Why not?" we chorus.
"It's ridiculous. $20 for a mousepad. I'd happily pay $10. Even $15. But $20. No way." She puts it down.
After she leaves the store, my millionaire mind buys it for her. The look on her face is worth more than $20.
"What do you think the lesson is in all of this?" asked Betty.
"Maybe it was some way to connect the three of us," commented Regina. We had barely known each other before this trip, by now we were so close we considered forming a band.
"You don't think it's just a random universe?" I ask, half joking.
"Only if you don't know how to find meaning!" retorts Regina.
We are silent, each pondering our personal interpretation of this bizarre confluence of odd connections. The airport has started to feel like home. Do we have to leave? I could get a job in the bookstore. "We would just need to find a shower," agrees Betty. "We could sleep in the Meditation Room, " adds Regina. "Maybe I could join the Admiral's Club," I muse. We stare out at the tarmac from our bubble. Did we ever live anywhere else? Suddenly we look up, startled to see the gate empty. We've gotten so comfortable in our new life that we hadn't heard the boarding announcement. We lead our wheelies, like well behaved pets, down one final corridor.
The sculptor and philosopher Henri Tracoll once pointed out that in airports, "…we are in total utopia….Utopia means literally 'nowhere.' We are nowhere. And what is extraordinary when one travels is to find oneself in one airport or another and in the end it is always the same: whether it is Tokyo, Heathrow or Kennedy Airport one is always in the same airport, connected by shuttle from one building to another….I am nowhere and at the same time I am somewhere, and this somewhere is always me."
As the plane takes off, we are all certain that something has changed. The holding pattern has released. We're finally going somewhere. Or maybe we've been there all along.


text: There are many important considerations in this incident. 1. It is claimed that the drone was shot down in international air space. Closer inspection of this claim shows that it was in fact very close to Iranian air space--virtually on the border. It is not improbable that the drone first violated Iranian air space, and then flew out into the international space. This is consistent with the United States baiting Iran into violation. This needs to be carefully investigated. 2. Trump, based on intelligence briefings, suggested that this could have been a rogue action by the IRGC. This is highly probable. Whether "rogue" or not, such an action would have been pre-authorized if the drone did in fact violate Iranian air space. There is definitely room for a mistake in personal judgment in this case. 3. The IRGC has recently had its wings clipped by the Iranian government. Many of its resources have been transferred to the regular Iranian Army. This has created a great deal of anger in the IRGC. But from the standpoint of the US, this is in fact a positive response of the Iranian government to US and International demands. 4. Along these lines, the IRGC was initially created to prevent a counter-coup to the Revolution of 1978-79 as a para-military force. It has grown to be a severe problem within Iran itself. Though the Iranian government won't admit it, they are concerned about its influence. This action could be a protest from the IRGC to embarrass Tehran.

Will Metal Gear Go On Forever Or What?
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will be yet another install to the game series that has been running since the late 80's on the NES system (Nintendo Entertainment System), I remember the very first Metal Gear on that system like it was yesterday.
I had an associate that would play it and it seemed pretty fun, but like most games from way back then games today has taken a huge fat turn going from the basic 8-bit format to a literal sub-computer that can go online not only to play games but even pay bills through it's internet browser features.
But back to this game series that we're taking about today, the last time I played the Metal Gear series was Metal Gear Solid: Guns of the Patriots.
It was indeed a fun game to play, and like I mentioned it was life-like all the way, from fighting in the battle fields dodging around in fire-fights, to fighting combatants, or even dealing with a very old "Solid Snake" himself (you of course playing through his character in the game) all with his physical ailment attached from the start of the game until the end.
Then I saw another Metal Gear spinoff game but this time starring another famous character to the series "Raiden", and he was introduced in Metal Gear II: Sons of the Patriots.
Raiden would return in part 5 as the ever so creepy mysterious and popular "cyborg ninja", who appears in various game sequels including the first game that was done on Playstation 1 in the late 90's.
(is that Raiden again? Or another "cyborg ninja?)
Now it's another Metal Gear that has surfaced, and there are the other ones that I didn't mention that has finally lead up to Metal Gear V. Like all of the other ones before it, the game deals with the ability to sneak in on your enemies and either avoid them all together dealing with the mission objective only.
LOL but what's the fun in that? The other option is to just cause all types of hell to break loose but you have to be prepared to defend yourself, because the way I see it about Metal Gear is if you go against the grain and pick a fight with the soldiers that you are trying to stay hidden from or sneak past without a confrontation. Then expect the fight of your life is all I have to say about that.
(sometimes fleeing a very heated situation is needed in order for you to plan for later strategic attacks or secret enemy base entry)
Metal Gear has always been the type of game where you need to be quiet as a mouse because it is after-all a tactical espionage role-playing game.
The weapons are the other thing that you can't help to love in this game, you can custom your weapons giving them add-ons to make them more highly effective against enemies. So say if you just got a gun and let's say the mechanics of enhancing that gun or, sniper rifle, or shotgun you get the picture, then you make it one of your dangerous in the your arsenal if you want to. Certain Metal Gear games would give you more options when modifying weapons, and in return make your character more proficient in taking out his / her enemies.
(learning to use stealth tactics for secret attacks is key for Metal Gear games unless of course you just like to go in and try the hand of fate for an all out attack on enemies)
In Ground Zeroes you will be able to do just that, plus even other things like building fortresses that will be used in combat battle simulation. You can even use smart-phones in real-time situations that revolve around the gameplay of Ground Zeroes as well (you can use them to interact with the 'Motherbase') that has got to be something that a lot of Metal Gear fans will really love.
Another great factor is this, you can do the mission objectives in different ways of your choosing. Unlike the previous Metal Gears before Ground Zeroes, you had to basically go through an objective that was hardcore written into the gameplay meaning you couldn't do certain parts before you had completed another key part first.
(characters from the previous Metal Gear games entries Metal Gear: Special Ops)
The story is rather cheesy form what I was seeing, people really don't care for it's synopsis that much (background story) but instead they will like the features way more plus any other added side-mission goodies that will more than make up for the story itself.
And the plot will center around "Big Boss" and not "Solid Snake", people might get confused when they see the cover of Zeroes and think it is Solid Snake but in fact it is his Father that was the main character from "Snake Eaters" orMetal Gear Solid III.
But it is more to Metal Gear V: Ground Zeroes, so click on the link at the bottom in the description alright see ya soon.

Ideas for Low Cost Craft Materials
After the holidays, I always find myself purging our playroom. So many of our family members are very generous over the holiday season and we simply need a reset. I often find myself thinking of others that may not be a fortunate. Luckily, even my children prefer some of these low/ no cost materials to learn and create with! These will always stay in my playroom and classroom!
7 Easy Low-Cost Craft Materials
- Shakers: There are several different varieties, however making a shaker is simple and easy. I use both clear and opaque containers, allowing for a fun guessing game. I simply fill with items around my house, including jingle bells, beans, rice, cotton balls, and so much more. You may want to seal the container with some glue so your younger children cannot get into the items. Want to get more creative? Check out these amazing musical shakers.
- Cookie Cutters: These little items are quite versatile. You can use cookie cutters in a play kitchen, as painting supplies, with play-doh, and even as bracelets. I hunt for them at a re-sale store, where you can often pick up a bag of cutters for less than $2.00! Want to get event crazier? Check out these 47 things you can do!
- Straws: Straws are another item laying around your house that can be used in all sorts of play! You can place the straws in a plastic container and allow smaller children to place in and out, working on fine motor. You can also cut the straws into smaller, one inch pieces and let them make their own bracelets and necklaces with a pipe cleaner. Straws are also great for exploring with wind and bubbles in a water bin! Straws are often one of my favorite pieces for any STEM activity.
- Ribbons: These are a great item for exploring textures, dancing, and decorating everything! I often place ribbons in a jar with a small opening. This allows for exploration of the concepts of fast and slow. Just make sure you monitor play with ribbons and do not allow the child to tie the ribbon on their face, neck or too tightly on their body!
- Plastic Jars with Lids: Instead of sending these to the recycling bin, recycle them at home! Plastic jars and containers are perfect for pouring, rolling, stacking, an so much more! You can also allow your child to practice screwing the lids on and off, which is another fine motor activity. Partner these containers with the small straw pieces for even more fun. Adding containers to the Sensory Table is always a big hit!
- Pots, Pans, and Spoons: One of the classic kid toys, allowing your kids to play with pans and spoons will provide endless entertainment and exploration. Simply empty a cupboard and let them mimic how you cook in the kitchen or turn the into a full on drum kit! Allowing children to explore noice and get "messy" is always beneficial.
- Hats and Dress Up: Have some extra clothing in your closet? Let your children take turns dressing up and pretending. Along with imaginative play benefits, it also allows your child to practice getting dressed and undressed and practice fastening and unfastening items as well.
Back Away from the Batteries; The Best Learning Tool for Your Child?
Remember, the best learning tool for your child is you! Sit down, play, and explore with your child each day. This will allow for your child to be directed in a fun way to continue to explore and learn! Your child is looking for your approval and attention. Take a moment each day to give them your undivided attention and you will find your child, and you, are better for it!

Warduda Lane is a Sydney based label founded by a couple who combined their passion for design and fashion to create accessories for the real world and for real people.
Our brand started when our founder was caught in a rainstorm while walking through the city to work. Her laptop was wedged in her handbag, and she had to make a choice: use her umbrella to cover herself and clothing or get drenched and protect her bag and laptop.
It was then that the water-resistant Milano tote was born and we've worked tirelessly alongside our makers to make sure you never have to make that choice, you or your bag, again.
Every detail matters. Our stringent quality standards and maker process make possible a range that is water-resistant, durable, and striking.
At Waruda Lane we are driven by an admiration for sophisticated simplicity which will continue to be the focus as we grow our range of products. We hope you love them as much as we do.
All Waruda Lane products are designed in Australia and our company is 100% Australian owned and operated.

If you are wondering what kind of exercise equipment would be ideal for your home gym, you may be interested in an exercise bike.
If you are a fan of cycling, you will certainly enjoy using an exercise bike. In fact, even if you cannot ride a bike, using an exercise bike to achieve your exercise goals is still an enjoyable experience.
You will find that there are several types of exercise bikes, and their features all vary. When searching for an stationary bike, it helps immensely to know exactly what you want out of your product, so you do not end up with buyer's remorse. Fortunately, we are here to help outline some of the more crucial differences.
An electric exercise bike is an exercise bike which uses a preprogrammed course to offer different levels of pedal resistance. This is opposed to the typical resistance exercise bike which varies its resistance based on how hard you pedal.
This is due to the electric exercise bike using an electric motor to provide resistance to the pedals instead of mechanical resistance.
Electric exercise bikes tend to feature more amenities than resistance exercise bikes due to their electric functioning. This allows the user to more easily track their progress regarding distance traveled, calories burned and a whole host of other variables.
Also, you will find that electric exercise bikes are superior in regards to position setup, allowing a greater degree of variety. Where resistance exercise bikes are only available in the upright variety, you will find electric exercise bikes available in either recumbent or upright positions.
Recumbent exercise bikes are superior in some ways to upright exercise bikes, especially when it comes to the level of strain on your knees. This makes them ideal for people who are recovering from injuries or surgeries, such as customers in rehabilitation.
Electric exercise bikes are superior in many ways. Mostly, it is due to the automated course function. This allows you to work out without paying as much attention to your pedaling as you would have to with a mechanical model.
Whereas mechanical resistance varies based on the speed at which you pedal, electric exercise bikes change their resistance based on a predetermined course that you may select while you are exercising.
You may also choose to set your course before you begin your exercise, this allows you to work out more efficiently.
To conclude, electric exercise bikes are not all that different from their mechanical counterparts. It only depends on what kind of features you prefer.
If you like to track your progress, an electric model would be ideal. If you prefer a more realistic feel, reminiscent of real biking, choose a mechanical model.
ExerciseRig.com serves as my way to keep people informed and motivated with their home fitness while providing plenty of guidance and advice when buying new products to help them reach their goals. My own story is a bit unconventional from what you may be used to. Although I was never severely out of shape, a severe knee injury actually resulted in me emerging more in form than ever, mostly thanks to equipment such as exercise bikes that I used during my long rehab journey. I've remained in shape ever since, and I now focus my efforts on sharing what I've learned from all my research and hands-on experience with a variety of home exercise equipment and workouts, passing it along to my readers. If you're in need of unbiased, genuine, and real fitness equipment advice, this is where you need to be.

Wallingford man charged in Cromwell assault
CROMWELL >> A Wallingford man was arrested early Saturday after he allegedly launched an unprovoked assault on a local café employee.
The female employee was not seriously hurt in the 12:45 a.m. attack inside a Shunpike Road nightspot, officials said.
The man, later identified as George F. Flaherty Jr., of 33 Cooper Ave., Wallingford, was subdued by co-workers of the victim and taken outside to await the arrival of police, Capt. Denise Lamontagne said Monday.
When police arrived, Flaherty was on the ground, "being restrained by café staff," Lamontage said. He was arrested and charged with breach of peace.
Flaherty was found to have suffered a cut to one of his elbows and also complained that he was having difficulty breathing, police said. As a consequence, he was taken by Cromwell Ambulance to Middlesex Hospital for evaluation and treatment.
Flaherty is scheduled to appear in Middlesex Superior Court on Feb. 26.

Firing up your sprinkler system for the season poses a question – when should you do it? There is no definitive date, since weather conditions and individual watering needs will both have an influence, but here in northern Nevada, a good timeframe is usually early to mid April. It's important to avoid starting up your irrigation system until any threat of frost has passed, so it really does vary from one year to the next. And before you jump right in, consider whether you'd prefer a professional inspection from Harris Landscape Construction first. Between freeze-thaw cycles and our impressive weather in February and March, there can be plenty of unseen issues on your pipes and sprinklers.
Starting Irrigation Systems in the Spring
Harris Landscape Construction offers irrigation shut-down and start-up, and many people in northern Nevada take advantage of it. That's because it's not uncommon for our team to find a number of issues with homeowner irrigation systems in the spring. Usually, we can resolve these problems easily with solutions like adjusting or relocating sprinkler heads to help your system work more efficiently. Our team can also identify and resolve problems like wasted water, flooding, or inadequate watering. Ensuring that your irrigation system is running efficiently and without issue is the best way to help your landscaping flourish
If you prefer to manage your own spring irrigation start-up without professional assistance, here's what we recommend to keep your pipes from becoming damaged.
- Open the main water valve slowly to allow water to fill the pipes gradually. Opening the valve too fast can lead to high-pressure surges and uncontrolled water flow, and both can result in cracking. If you're not sure how to do this, call Harris Landscape Construction and we'll send someone out to open it properly.
- Manually activate each zone from the controller to make sure everything is working properly. You'll want to check sprinkler heads for proper rotation and adequate coverage, with no leaks. Check for low pressure areas as well, which can indicate a missing sprinkler or a line break. You can adjust heads as necessary, and take the time to clean filters on any sprinklers that aren't performing well.
- Program the controller to ensure automatic watering, and check the backup battery as well. Uncover and clean the weather sensor, if your system has one, and check the back flow preventer too.
If any of this sounds confusing or like too much work, contact Harris Landscape Construction now. We're scheduling our spring start-ups now, and we'll be happy to get you on our schedule. Then you won't have to worry about when to start your sprinkler system at all! We'll make sure your irrigation system is in perfect working condition. Bring on spring!

From LoadingReadyWiki
Revision as of 08:44, 21 March 2019 by Phlip (Talk | contribs) (Adding up to the end of March 2018. The page is now only a year out of date!)
!advice is one of the commands accepted by LRRbot in the LoadingReadyLive chat, which provides incredibly useful and timely advice for whoever is currently streaming.
This is a list of all responses, current and past, that can come from the command.
Advice List
- Go left.
- The original useful advice. Alex Steacy mentioned in an IDDQDerp stream of Dark Souls that, with the stream delay, the chat giving advice that depends on exactly when it's said, like "go left", are the most useless, as by the time he sees it he's not going to be standing in the same place or facing the same direction.
- No, the other way.
- Similarly useful advice with the stream delay.
- Flip it turnways.
- A reference to some Homestuck thing or whatever.
- Try jumping.
- A common piece of advice found in Dark Souls, left near cliffs by other players.
- A common Internet meme, from Star Fox 64.
- From Operation: Viral Outbreak from CommodoreHUSTLE 06 - Viral.
- Over there, next to the thing.
- Right in front of you.
- You passed it.
- Turn around.
- The glowy thing.
- Fight harder.
- More generically useful advice.
- Kill him, he drops a sweet Katana.
- There is a merchant in Dark Souls that, if killed, drops what is often described as a "sweet katana". Some people in chat were trying to convince Alex do do this, while Alex refused to do so ("What has he ever done to me?"). So this statement became a meme.
- Shoot it until it dies.
- A reference to a common Internet meme.
- Run behind it, and stab it in the back.
- Traditional Dark Souls tactics.
- Jund 'em out.
- A classic piece of advice from Friday Nights: Grand Prix Calgary.
Just git gud.
- An Alexism imitating the sort of advice expected from the Internet at large.
- Hit the weak spot for massive damage.
- Another popular Internet meme.
Don't blink. Blink and you're dead.
- A reference to the Doctor Who episode "Blink".
- Get ye flask.
- A reference to Homestar Runner.
- Just dome 'em.
- An Alexism during a Magic: the Gathering stream
Use the force!
- A reference to Star Wars.
Try refreshing.
- Refreshing the stream fixes many problems. More than it should, really.
Do a move with a triple flip and meow.
- A line from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, a special requirement given to one of the NPCs during the wrestling chapter.
Watch out for the snake.
- Alex's preferred way of searching for snakes in Heavy Bullets is to walk directly into the bushes and detect the snakes with his face.
- A famous line from Predator.
Back to you, Marshall!
- From Friday Nights: Speechless
Always first pick Wall of Kelp.
- Favourite card of chat member Nirvana, this is a common recommendation during all draft formats where the card appears, and many where it doesn't.
Consult No-Peenor, the naked man.
- From a Let's NOPE! episode featuring the game Doorways.
Stand against the devil! Watch and pray.
- From the inagural Watch+Play episode, Prayer Warriors: All Out for God
- Look at the cards.
- From the early (pre-LRL) Magic: the Gathering streams. In Magic Online, when an effect reveals a single card, or a couple of cards, they appear in a special "Revealed Cards" zone, but when an effect can reveal a lot of cards at once, it instead pops them up in a special window, and you get to look at them and hit OK, and they go away. Normally the prompt tells you what you're looking at, eg "Look at your opponent's hand", but when the cards are in a temporary zone (such as the cards milled by a "grind" effect in Gatecrash), the message says merely "Look at the cards", a prompt Graham enjoyed immensely. It morphed into advice given whenever someone fails to read the cards correctly, or forgets an ability, etc.
- Find another way.
- A message that appears when you die in a certain part of Doorways, from Let's NOPE!
0118999881999119725... 3

- Mash R1.
- R1 is the light-attack button in Dark Souls, and mashing that button in an attempt to stun-lock enemies (and hope they die before you run out of stamina) is one of Cam's primary strategies while playing the game ("Easiest game I've ever played").
- Cause mayhem.
- An objective in Saints Row IV.
The coin makes you faster.

A thing exists. It's getting closer!
- In Resident Evil: Revelations 2, there are some invisible enemies that only your sidekick can see.
