Nay, I already got mine, thanks senQ for remembering though
Just remember I have a senQ membership which I seldom utilise mainly I could not find the electronic appliances of our choice there. Just talk about washing machine and dryer, the choices are mainly Korean and lacking in selection for a family of 5.
So, I always ended up buying from a dealer based in Old Klang Road, whom we like dealing with. Also the pricing plus after sales services for additional years, no one could compete with them.
Oh yah, I got a SMS from senQ, informing me that I could be the first to own an iPhone 6.
I know the message is sent at random to my iPhone 6 Plus, but again, this is where digital marketing went wrong.
Sending the info at random, or rather blindly, not knowing who you may be talking to. I bet even my mother's Nokia would have received the same message, about the new iPhone 6. Does she need one? Chances are no. Seems like whatever the money of CRM companies invested actually produced more digital waste than doing something good.

Thanks this is infact a very help full tip …
I for one will definitely try to include this in my day to day work.
Foreword: this is not about something new but something I didn`t see people using much and I find it useful and want to tell you about it.
Have you ever tried to navigate SE80 -> Utilities -> Worklist -> Display? I didn`t have more than just a rough idea about this functionality before I tried it. It is nothing more (or less) than a TO-DO list. You can add and remove items, specifying the following: Object type, Object name, Subobject name and free comment field for you to note details (note that except the free comment all other fields get populated automatically if you point your cursor somewhere and say "add"). A useful feature is that when you click an entry, it jumps to the code so you`re immediately at the spot where you want to do something about the code. So far it`s very simple, right?
Now why I find the worklist useful. Let`s talk about your ways and my ways of designing, prototyping and implementing ABAP code. This time concentrate more on supporting the ABAP code or let`s say improving it, rather than starting the new development from scratch.
Some people say every good change request is started from the Solution manager. That could be true, but as a code monkey (I don`t see other people than hardcore developers reading about TO-DO list for developers…) you don`t care about the background, you are the person who get things done. You have existing code, which works and you`re asked to change/ improve it. And that`s often a tough call. I am not talking about you not being the author of the code or about quality of the code, number of comments etc. Those are obstacles, but can be surpassed. The most difficult thing (at least to me) is that it works before and it must work afterwards. So from this point of view you can "break it".
That means you must think very carefully about what to change where and only then start changing. Better take a snapshot/ version of the code before you start. Now how do you approach the problem?
When I build new code, I start with comments. Using comments I plan my program. Then start with building the objects (typically classes right? This is 21. Century). I create classes, I create methods, I define some method interfaces etc. I have the shell of the program, objects and all the separation of concerns done first. Then I start implementing the building blocks I defined.
Now how do you approach an existing code support task? Some people try to create one method or function that will encapsulate all the changes so the rest of the code remains intact (just an example, if you have your own cool tricks, can you share them via comments below this blog?). That can help, yes. But how often this is possible? Not always. So how do you approach a challenge of changing multiple objects, multiple interfaces, write new or change existing code in several places so it everything works nicely together again?
After the detour here we come back to the Worklist. My suggestion is with the Worklist you can go through the existing code and start adding TO-DO list entries, with descriptions of course, and plan the whole change process before you start. You place the cursor, say "add" and create a TO-DO list entry without touching the "display/ change" button.
Some people "plan before they start" already. But try it once and feel how much more comfortable you navigate to that part of the code by double-clicking your TO-DO list entry, rather than trying to get there via search or repository browser etc. Doing this I can plan my development with comments like before (when starting from scratch) without touching the code.
If you already are a ABAP guru, you must have your ways proven working and efficient already (again: can you share them via a comment below? Thanks). But maybe… out of curiosity… you will try the Worklist functionality (which is in the system for quite a long time by the way!). If you`re are a newcomer, you can try and you might find a way you were looking for.
Maybe you`re laughing all the way reading this blog. You know how to build software with or without TO-DO lists. But believe me I know guys who start changing the code from the beginning, then do some more fine-tuning at the end and only then realize that those two changes don`t fit together in the middle. It happened to me several times as well. I can admit that:))
Again as with all my blogs: if this helps a single individual, it was worth the effort. Happy supporting existing ABAP code. Cheers Otto

The amenity wood chip supplied by Gristwood and Toms is typically aged for about 3 months, which gives it a rich and attractive brown colouring. We recommend beginning mulch application before annual weeds become established. You should ideally mulch bare soil as soon as practical, especially in the spring and autumn when weeds are most likely to germinate. While you can apply mulch at any time, be careful in Spring not to heap mulch on top of emerging and growing plants. Autumn is ideal after herbaceous plants have finished, when the soil is damp but still relatively warm.
For the best results, wood chip mulch should be deep enough to suppress weeds and inhibit light to the soil surface: research has demonstrated that weed control is directly linked to mulch depth, as is enhanced plant performance. In fact, shallow mulch layers may promote weed growth and/or require additional weed control measures. We recommend at least 75mm depth for ornamental sites.
Remember, do not to pile mulch against the trunks of shrubs and trees. This creates a dark, moist, low oxygen environment. Piling mulch on the trunk provides exactly the right conditions for fungi to enter the plant. Taper the mulch as you approach the trunk and this doughnut-shaped application will protect the soil environment as well as plant tissues above ground.
Once the mulch is applied, little management needs to be done other than reapplication to maintain minimum depth. Churn up the existing mulch first before adding a renewal layer. High traffic areas are most likely to need replacement.

Simrit's Reviews
Casa Del Sol
Listed in Ayahuasca, San Pedro (Huachuma), Kambo, Magic Mushrooms
Orillas del Río Uchima, Barrio Sacapo, Parroquia San Pedro de Vilcabamba, Loja, Ecuador
On many levels my life changed after doing plant medicine with Santiago and Ximena. In the end I lived in Vilcabamba for nearly 2 years and they had indeed become my family. The journey with the plant medicine was both challenging and life changing with so many insights…But the real challenge was to incorporate those lessons and teachings in real life. It was the perfect time to change so many aspects of my life and my heart which was in need of healing. It was truly priceless and valuable for my spiritual path.
Santiago and Ximena has made my journey and time with them so easy, with their support and love. Santiago the Shaman, I have found to be truly humble in his Spirit and heart. A phenomenal teacher and guide through his ancestors and Spirit guides. Where they live and where the ceremonies are held is truly out of this world, magical, surrounding in such beauty. I have and still do highly recommend their services to everyone I come across who may have an interest to go into their selves further for guidance and healing.
I am forever grateful to you both Santiago and Ximena and I look forward to one day seeing you again and being part of your ceremonies again. Sooooo much love to you. Blessings to you both and Casa del Sol xxx

Chapel Themes and Schedule for 2018-2019
Chapel Theme and Schedule For 2018-2019
Every morning, after the Canadian National Anthem the students will hear a short song that will help them memorize a bible verse or a part of the catechism weekly followed by the current prayer. The students will be taught different prayers throughout the year. The students are currently saying the following prayer which is done over the intercom:
"We give thanks to you dear Father, through Jesus your only son, that you have kept us through the night, from harm and the evil one. And we pray that you, would keep us this day from danger and harm from going astray. Let all our deeds be pleasing to you and stay with us all through the day, your angels protecting the way. For in your name we pray, Amen."
During devotion time, all classrooms recite the Lord's prayer and will say a prayer before both snack and lunch times. Students learn many different prayers throughout the year, please ask your child what prayer they use in class and if you require the words for the prayer please contact your child's teacher.
BSLS Chapel Services are held on Wednesday mornings at 9:00 am. Each Chapel service will focus on the Lutheran message which teaches all of our young students on how they are serving God's community through the many outreach and stewardship opportunities through the school and the church. Our chapel services involve many different components that have been specifically planned to engage the students and to help the children understand and hear about God's love. God's Law (the Ten Commandments) and God's Gospel (grace & forgiveness) are shared in every lesson at chapel and throughout our days with the children and with one another. It is especially important for children to hear about God's grace and forgiveness, and it can be easy as adults to focus on the law and expectations, rather than the Gospel. At chapel, there are responsibilities given to each classroom throughout the year for all students to participate in chapel when possible. The responsibilities this year are the candle lighters, candle extinguishers, bible verse readers, chapel artists, prayer readers and of course, singing and doing the actions to the many songs we sing. We are always interested if a student is interested in playing violin, piano or sharing another talent during our chapel services to enhance our student involvement. Please speak to your child and teacher to hear about how your child is involved in our weekly chapel services.
In Chapel This Week
John 20:24:31
Thomas wasn't there on the night of the resurrection. And when his friends told him "they had seen the Lord," he denied it saying, "Unless I put my finger in the holes of His hands, and place my hand into His side, I will never believe."
What was happening in Thomas' heart for him to deny all his friends? Was he at peace? No. He was angry. Hurt. Trying to protect himself from being hurt again. He loved Jesus. He was counting on Him to be the Messiah – his king. But then Jesus got crucified. Dead and buried. And Thomas lost faith. He thought Jesus had let him down. And it hurt.
You can hear it in his words. He almost spits them out. NO! Never! Not unless I put my finger in the holes. Not unless I put my hand into His side. Thomas is not at peace. Because he doesn't believe.
What does Jesus do? Does He stay far away from Thomas because He knows he's angry? Does He cut Thomas off from Him, treat Him like an enemy? No. He draws near. He comes closer. Enters into the locked doors of Thomas' anger with His peace. He comes with His wounds to push away Thomas' anger with His peace. Brings His wounds of peace right to him.
Do the wounds change Thomas? Yes. He goes from "I will never believe" to "My Lord and my God!" From unbelief to faith. Anger to Peace. Being all alone to sharing this new life with Christ and all his friends.
Do Jesus' healed wounds change you? Yes. These wounds promise you the same peace. Jesus holds them out for you, so you join Thomas in moving from unbelief to faith. Anger to peace. Being alone to sharing His new life with all believers.
No, you don't see them – you hear them. You hear their promise. "Blessed are those who have not seen, yet have believed," Jesus said. Jesus says its not about seeing the wounds. Its about hearing their promise. Trusting He has those wounds for you. And when you take Him at His Word – you are more blessed than Thomas.
Beautiful Savior – God bless you. God bless your faith. Christ fill you with His peace through His holy wounds that He has for you. May your heart rest in those wounds alone that trusting in Him you may be ruled by the peace that grows from Him.
Image for this week's bible lesson.
Heavenly Father, I need Your peace. You know how my heart is troubled. Hold Your Son's healed wounds before my eyes. Remind me that He rose for me, and not for Himself. He lives to silence all my fears. He lives to calm my troubled heart. He lives all blessings to impart. Fill me with His peace. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Teen Posts About Chilling Effects Of Ecstasy
In middle school D.A.R.E. class, it was all too easy to ignore the warnings against drug use — they can kill you, they can ruin your life, they can heavily impair you — but could one pill, one puff, one prick really do anything? So maybe your teachers and parents couldn't convince you, but I bet this young man's video about a bad ecstasy pill reaction will grab your attention now.
Because the danger in drug use isn't just about excess and overdosing and a slow building catastrophe, it's about the possibility that one pill could indeed change or end your life. Because drugs are not legal, they are not regulated or tried or tested — users are the testers and it can take a death to get the review back to the supplier and often does.
For Jordy Hurdes, an Australian teenager who was into the party and ecstasy scene, it was a matter of one bad pill that almost took his life that got him out of it for good. An unexpected brush with death that left doctors scratching their heads and family counting their blessings, left Jordy heavily impaired. Suffering from constant muscle spasms and a verbal stutter, Jordy is tired, scared, and in pain, but happy to be alive. Grateful for a second chance, he has taken to social media to spread his message: it's not worth it.
While many drug users might feel protected by a blind confidence that addiction does not have its grasp on them, Jordy makes a case for the "it only takes one bad pill" argument. Because drug users can tell themselves that addiction won't get them, but they cannot hide from the fact that one bad pill or puff or prick could "get" them. And the only way to protect against the possibility, is to not do drugs. Just ... don't do them. Do not do drugs. Listen to Jordy Hudres – it's not worth it.

Reading & Signing: Beautiful Justice by Brooke Axtell
A story of healing and a guide to seeking justice after sexual abuse from Brooke Axtell, one of the foremost survivor experts on sexual assault, domestic violence, and human trafficking.
When Brooke Axtell was seven years old, her nanny subjected her to sex trafficking. Today, she is a champion and advocate for women around the world who have experienced sexual violence and trauma. Beautiful Justice shares Brooke's own gripping story, both the trauma of sex trafficking and also her pathway through healing, moving on, and reclaiming power. Along the way, she imparts warm wisdom for others who have experienced similar violence, providing lessons from her own life and from the thousands of women, advocates, and lawmakers she's spoken with. Relying on her own experiences and a keen awareness of public policy, she provides a clear-eyed awareness of the ways that our culture and government work against women experiencing violence around the world. Inspiring and powerfully redemptive, Brooke encourages readers to take part in a creative resistance as a path to justice.
Brooke Axtell is the founder and director of She is Rising, a healing community for women and girls overcoming rape, abuse, and sex-trafficking. Her work as a human rights activist led her passionate, widely talked-about appearance on the 2015 Grammy Awards. Brooke's story has since been featured in a wide range of outlets, including Salon, Slate, Washington Post, Forbes, Wall Street Journal, Psychology Today, and Fox News. This is her first book.

Question of the day: When does cheese go bad?
A friend of a friend mentioned at lunch recently having to pitch some cheese she had been planning to use for eggplant parmesan because it had gone bad, raising the private question: "When exactly DOES cheese go bad?" ... followed by the even more private one "Cheese goes bad?"
We put the issue before St. Paul Cheese Shop Manager Benjamin Roberts. It turns out these questions aren't all that embarrassing after all. Roberts said attendees at a cheese class he hosted just this week brought up the question of when to know when your cheese has turned.
There are two main things to consider, Roberts says.
1. Smell. If the cheese has a pungent, ammonia aroma that's a good indication it's no longer suitable. Roberts says a little bit of an ammonia scent is ok, but any type overwhelming scent is not.
2. Taste. If you can detect any type of bitterness to your cheese, it's probably a sign that its days are numbered. If it tastes wrong, it probably is wrong.
To a lesser extent, Roberts says, a quick visual inspection can tell you something about whether a cheese is past its prime as well. Any type of drying out is a good sign that the cheese has seen better days. This doesn't necessarily mean the cheese is inedible but Roberts says, "If it's drying out, then not going to be as delicious."
With some softer cheeses (Roberts mentions Humboldt Fog) -- which are gooier toward the outside when fresher -- the expansion of the gooeyness toward the more flaky, crumbly center is a sign the cheese is overripe, though this is more difficult thing for amateurs to discern.
These rules of thumb apply moreso to blue cheeses and soft cheeses, like brie, and to a lesser extent some harder cheeses. As a rule of thumb, soft cheeses go bad quicker than hard cheeses. "The clock is ticking slower on harder cheese than on soft," Roberts says.

Remember the other day when I said I was finished making pizza for a while? I lied. Sorry about that, but I had too much fun making the pesto pizza crust that I just had to give another "fancy" crust a try. And boy am I glad that I did, because this ended up being one of our favorite pizzas! It's incredibly simple too – all you need is a refrigerated pizza crust and a packet of ranch seasoning mix.
You know how a lot of people can't eat pizza without load of ranch dressing to dip the crusts in? I took a cue from them and baked the ranch flavoring right into the crust. The result is a highly seasoned pizza with crusts that taste like awesome, ranch-flavored breadsticks. No messy dressing required.
To make this crust, all you have to do is shape your pizza dough and then brush a thin dusting of ranch seasoning from edge to edge. Then, top it like you normally would. The flavors in ranch are pretty versatile (it's mostly garlic, onion, and parsley) so just go ahead and use whatever your favorite topping is.
You'll only need about half a packet; save the rest to make another pizza or mix it with some Greek yogurt to make dressing for side salads.
This recipe was brought to you in partnership with Pillsbury. The recipe for cheddar, bacon, and onion pizza on ranch crust and all opinions are my own. Always have been, always will be.

"More Than Often..."
It's certainly no secret that Peg and I love Jamaica. We've been there many times, a half dozen or so mission trips, another 5 or 6 times on vacations, once stopping over on a cruise. And, as with the more interesting places we've been, we've accumulated a cadre of friends whom we love, there.
You may recall the post I did some time back about Keri-Ann Bethune. I met her and her daddy, Merrick, on my first trip there in 1992, and have known and loved them ever since. Keri-Ann was a little child when I met her and now she's a computer trained math teacher in a High School there. She's also the Youth Coordinator at Red Hills Baptist Church, and Merrick plays guitar in the church services. They've taught me more than I'll ever be able to repay.
Mostly about me.
There are others, too. Jasmine, a single lady who opens her small cliff-hanging house to us when we're there and serves the best fruit punch and soursop drink in the world. And has a constant heart-warming smile.
Alphanso Blake, now a noted Jamaican artist whose work can be found on the internet. He is a terrific drummer, too, a good worship leader and can pray like no one I've ever heard.
The list goes on.
More than often: that's a remark made by a police officer on a series of videos I just finished watching: Gangs In Jamaica. It referred to the frequency of murders like the one he was investigating.
The video was done by a British reporter, Ross Kemp. Keri-Ann sent me the link and said I'd find it interesting. I did .. it's been a while since something like this moved me to tears.
This one did. Those are my friends. I love those people. And despite the ugliness and horror you'll see if you watch them, there's a beauty and potential in those folks that my heart cries out to find a way to tap. They can be professional people like Keri-Ann, they can be accomplished artists like Alphanso, they can have their own little home like Jasmine. Or they can be a brickmason providing for their family, as did my friend Deacon Percival Douse, one of the finest gentlemen of any color I've ever met.
Deacon Douse, now that I brought him up, is such an inspiration. He's a pillar at Red Hills, living about 2 miles away. Not only is the church atop a high hill, but the road running down to Deacon Douse's home is all downhill, too. He has no car, but he's at church Sunday morning & night and Wednesday night, too. And for meetings when required.
He walks. And did I mention he is perhaps 70-75 years old?
It is out of the same culture that produced what you'll see in the videos, that Red Hills Baptist Church was raised up. A testimony to the power and love of God, and one which has so many answers for the hopelessness and fatalism reflected in the video.
And the same culture produced the Jamaica Baptist Union which last year had 25% of their MEMBERS at their annual meeting!
More than often: it really, really is. In this case, it means one murder every six hours!
Six hours! Four times a day, every day, some potential teacher, computer whiz, brickmason, takes an unexpected trip to eternity. Most likely, to an eternity in torment. Despite the best efforts of good people like Keri-Ann, Jasmine, Percival, Alphanso.
If hell isn't worse than what you see those folks on the video living, it'd be bad enough that no one ever should want to go there, if even for a moment.
Certainly not for eternity.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Missed opportunities at the free throw line and turnovers cost the Shaw University women's basketball team a 89-58 decision at Johnson C. Smith University Saturday afternoon inside BrayBoy Gymnasium for a Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Southern Division tilt.
The loss dips the Lady Bears (0-12 CIAA, 0-7 South) to 5-17 overall while JCSU stands (8-4 CIAA, 4-2 South) 11-11 on the season.
Two players finished in double figures in scoring for Shaw led by junior Macy Keen (Fort Lauderdale, FL) who tallied 18 points, seven rebounds and three blocks while junior Victoria Swanson (Monmouth, OR) contributed a season-high 14 points including 3-of-3 from 3-point line, eight rebounds and five assists.
In the opening quarter, both teams exchanged baskets but back-to-back 3-pointers from JCSU gave the Golden Bulls a six-point cushion at the 5:02 mark. The Lady Bears trimmed JCSU's lead to four points after a jumper from Keen but the Golden Bulls would end up leading 21-13 after the first quarter.
The Lady Bears cut the deficit to six points early on in the second stanza but the Golden Bulls used a 11-5 scoring margin to take a 12-point lead over Shaw before claiming a 37-22 stand capped off by a layup from Teana Lewis at halftime.
To start the third quarter, Shaw committed five turnovers that resulted in a 31-point command for JCSU. The Golden Bulls then clicked on all cylinders – hitting it last six shots including two 3-pointers in route to a 73-39 over Shaw with one quarter remaining.
The Lady Bears cut the deficit to 27 points but that would be the closest they would get for the remainder of the contest as JCSU scored 30 points off of Shaw's 23 miscues while outscoring the Lady Bears 23-10 in second chances, 43-30 in the paint and a 59-17 stand from its bench.
JCSU was led by Lewis with 21 points and 10 rebounds while JaKeyah McNeil and Aubriana Bonner both tallied 16 points apiece. Blaire Thomas would round out the double figure scoring with 13 points and seven rebounds while Bonner collected nine rebounds and five assists for the Golden Bulls.
Shaw will return to action Wednesday, Feb. 6 at Virginia State University for a CIAA cross division contest. Tip-off is slated for 5:30 p.m. at the VSU Multipurpose Center.

An Abuja building which collapsed today, had 18 people trapped though emergency workers are battling to rescue some of the survivors including children in the building.
It was gathered that the 4-storey Abuja building located at Jabi junction, close to a popular Rukkayat plaza in the Nigerian capital, had been abandoned for over two years before the collapse. The incident occurred by 1:20pm while workers were still at the building. Those trapped include workers, children and food vendors.
Eight people have been rescued so far, while one person lost his life. Among those rescued was the site engineer whose two legs were broken. Here are photos below;
It was also reported few months ago, that no fewer than three people died, while seven others were injured following the collapse of a two-story Islamiyya school building under construction at Unguwan Kaya, in Zaria, Kaduna State.
The ugly incident occurred while construction work was ongoing at the building. Speaking at the scene of the event, Malam Abdul-Muminu Adamu, the Divisional Secretary, Nigerian Red Cross, Zaria branch said the incident was unexpected and very frightening.
"Shortly when the incident happened, a good Samaritan called and informed us and we reported to the scene immediately.
"When we came here, we were able to recover the bodies of two people and later recovered another body while seven other people were rescued alive.
"The corpses of the deceased have been deposited at the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), Shika.
"While the injured persons are also responding to treatment at the same hospital," he said.
Mr Paul Fedelix-Aboi, the Director of the state Fire Service described the development as unfortunate, saying that the actual cause can only be ascertained after investigation. He said, though the rescue operation is not part of their mandate, they were in the area to render possible assistance to rescued persons. Felix-Aboi attributed the recurrence of building collapse in Nigeria to attitude of Nigerians who always go for cheap labour.

I had initial problems because they rented the car I had booked because I was about 45 minutes late for the pick up. I had to wait around for a few hours but everything worked out at the end. You MUST update your location address though. The poor Uber driver went crazy looking for it.

The first time a friend or relative points out your thinning pate, no man alive can deny the stomach-swooping feeling: Who me? Bald? Men pretend to be fine with baldness – until it happens to them.
A surfeit of hairs in the sink or shower plughole? Shedding onto the pillow? Maybe you're losing it. As Man for Himself says: "For a lot of men, they either go into denial or they panic. Neither will help."
Nobody can stop themselves going bald, here's how to take it like a man.
Is it true?
Just because someone says you're losing your hair doesn't make it true. We all lose between 20 and 100 hairs daily, and that's completely natural – it's simply part of the life-cycle of hair. It grows, it matures, it falls out, the follicle rests, and the cycle begins again.
What happens in male pattern baldness is that your hair follicles become sensitive to a type of testosterone called DHT, and shut down permanently. Hair is finite: You only have the number of follicles you were born with; as soon as they begin to die off, you begin to thin.
Before you panic, get a real friend to take a picture of your crown. Better still, trust no one; stand in front of a mirror and like a barber, position a hand mirror over your head. Have a good long look and be honest with yourself.
It is true!
OK – now you can panic. But when you're done, take a seat, pour yourself a stiff one, and face the facts: You are going bald. What are you going to do about it? Here are your options.
The Idle Man has some excellent "temporary solutions" for trimming your remaining hair to limit the ravages of your raging hair loss hormones. As they say: "When talking about hair loss, 'temporary' could mean twenty years, so they are worth a shot."
But never let yourself succumb to a comb-over. Even if you don't go for the full Bobby Charlton, the man who hides his ever-widening bald spot behind a fastidiously arranged curtain of hair from elsewhere on his head, is a man who deceives only himself.
Please don't cover up – it's so painfully obvious that friends will cross the street to avoid the awkwardness of talking to you while trying not to look the bodge job you've made of your barnet. Yes, you can get away with styling your hair to disguise a receding hairline, or thinning crown. But you need to do it carefully, and you need to know when to stop – the earlier the better.
There are products that claim to halt or reverse hair loss, but these can be expensive. Before you shell out on lotions and potions, ask yourself: Are they really worth the effort?
In a word, no.
The sad truth is that most over-the-counter products don't work. Of those that do, some work only temporarily. Remedies that genuinely halt or regenerate thinning hair tend to be DHT inhibitors; they stop DHT from killing off your follicles. But by taking a hormone inhibitor, you're changing the hormonal balance of your whole body. Side effects are rare but may include loss of libido and erectile dysfunction.
You're only going bald, which while traumatic, doesn't justify messing about with your hormonal balance. It's up to you, but for us, taking a chance with your tackle it isn't a risk worth taking. Which leaves surgery, which is expensive, hurts, and unless it's done by a skilled practitioner, can make you look weird.
In the end, most of us have to take our burgeoning baldness on the chin, deal with it, accept it, and make the best of it – unlike Scott Manley Hadley who, writing for the Huffington Post says: "No one finds a bald man attractive, not in a meaningful way."
What utter nonsense. Once you've come to accept your shiny scalp, you can finally do something about it – embrace it.
Vin Diesel – bald, Patrick Stewart – bald, Samuel L. Jackson – bald. Ben Kingsley – bald. You don't have to have hair to make women swoon, so get yourself off to the barber and have yourself a buzzcut.
Our advice is that unless you want to look like a convict, stick to a grade three, four or five. The rule of thumb is the balder you are, the shorter the cut. Only get the Bic razor out if your hair is so sparse that to let it grow makes you you look like Charlie Brown.
Miss your hair? Take a leaf from the late, great, Leonard Cohen: "Ring the bells that still can ring." Grow a beard.

From Dhahran's humble beginnings to the bustling community it is today, the Heritage Gallery's
current display 'Window to the Past' provides insights into the places and people of the Eastern
Province community over the past eight decades.
Dhahran — "Window to the Past" is the new mini exhibit at the Saudi Aramco Community Heritage Gallery.
The display highlights historic photographs of familiar facilities in Dhahran that we see every day, and that are served by the Community Services Department. Included in the exhibit are objects of historic interest from Recreation, self-directed groups (SDGs), and the residential communities, giving visitors insight into the progress and modernization that has occurred in our communities over the years.
Dhahran Theater and Hamilton House
The entrance to the Dhahran Theater looked very different in the 1970s than it looks today. The appearance of Hamilton House and House 19 was also very different back in the 1940s and 1950s, before the extensions and refurbishments took place and the flowers and trees that now surround them were planted.
Did you know that Hamilton House was originally built as a guest house for His Majesty King 'Abd al-'Aziz Al Sa'ud for his second visit to Dhahran in 1947? Although the King rested in "The Executive House" (as it was then called), he preferred to stay in the tent city that was established around Dhahran. He felt that he could almost touch the ceiling inside the house and preferred the spacious surrounding of the tent.
On Dec. 23, 1952, the house was renamed Hamilton House in honor of the memory of Lloyd Hamilton, the executive from The Standard Oil Company of California (SoCal) who, together with Sheikh Abdullah bin Sulaiman, the finance minister, negotiated and signed the original concession agreement.
House 19, Steineke Hall, and more
June 29, 1952 marked the opening of Steineke Hall, named after the late Max Steineke, the man most responsible for the discovery of Saudi Arabia's oil resources. It was Steineke who urged Dammam Dome wildcatters to drill deeper, resulting in the discovery of what is now known as the Saudi Arabian producing zone.
Among other interesting facts, visitors will discover what House 19 was used for, and who lived there before its current purpose. Visitors may be surprised to see the Third Street tennis courts as they were in the 1970s, and how the Saudi Aramco beach was the site of many popular events for employees and their families from as early as the 1950s.
Also on display in the exhibit are facts about SDGs and Recreation. For example, did you know that the Boy Scouts organization was founded here in 1946, and became a member of the Boy Scouts of America in 1947? The Girl Scouts of Dhahran followed and was registered in October 1946. The first troop started with just three girls — Pinky Alexander, Alice Fullmer, and Louise Snyder. Their leader was Miss Mary Leonardi, a teacher at Dhahran School.
The Heritage Gallery
The Boy Scouts, Bear Den 18, was one of the first groups to view the exhibit, seeking to learn the history of the place they call home. The visit provided a real understanding of the history and development of Dhahran and other Saudi Aramco communities.
The Community Heritage Gallery first opened in 1992 and serves Saudi Aramco as both a repository and an exhibition arena for historical artifacts, photographs, and documents relating to the growth and development of the company and its communities. It serves as a research facility and an extension to the educational development and interest of visitors through the use of its library and extensive film selection.
Located opposite the residential community library on Ibis street, it is open 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. For a guided tour, email [email protected] or drop in to visit.

A shelter can be a very stressful place for a dog. If you're considering adopting an animal from a shelter, don't judge their personality based on what you notice there.
Many times dogs in shelters don't get the opportunity to show much love to the humans around them. You need to observe them outside the shelter setting to see what they're like.
Before you fully commit to adopting a pet of your own, first consider fostering one instead. Shelter animals aren't always what they seem once you get them home and out of the chaotic stressful environment of a shelter.
The shelter animals aren't always unsociable and sad. It simply takes time for them to feel comfortable in your home and to trust you.
Take this story of a senior dog; this sweet girl had spent much of her life in a protective enclosure. She was frightened and depressed.
The pooch spent most of her days sitting against the wall of her cage not interacting with anyone. To those who cared for her, she appeared unfriendly and closed off.
This dear lady had no one to show affection to until a woman came to the shelter one day and saw past her fear and depression.
The woman knew she wanted to adopt the senior gal right away.
Once the woman got her new friend home, the pooch broke free from her shell. Gone was the introverted scared pup. In her place was a confident, outgoing, fun dog.
Yes, she has some health problems, as do most senior dogs; but with the love and care from her human owner, she's doing just fine. She plays and lives the kind of life loved dogs lead.
Though this lovely lady spent much of her life in a shelter, where she was sad and scared, she is now whole, healthy, and happy in her forever home with total love and affection.
Don't judge a book by its cover is quite a fitting metaphor in this context. When we judge, we apply preconceived ideas and misconceptions to people or animals or situations.
Animals especially, don't deserve to be measured by their appearance, behavior or mannerisms. Let's keep this in mind the next time we take a trip to our local animal shelter.

Non-industrial private forest (NIPF) landowners have played an increasingly important role in the nation's timber economy. Nearly 70% of the forestland in the South is owned by NIPF landowners (Powell et al., 1994). In Mississippi alone, these landowners control approximately 66% of the state's forestland base (Hartsell and London, 1995). Therefore, NIPF landowners are expected to provide a large portion of the state's supply of timber. However, whether they do so depends largely on how their timberlands are managed. Forest management decisions of NIPF landowners can impact future timber supply due to the magnitude of their collective ownership.

Kidzania Lates, London
If you haven't heard of Kidzania chances are you don't spend much time with pre-teens. It's essentially a real life verison of The Sims, where children play at being a grown up and embark upon a chosen careers. Sounds like hard work, but little people of London are obsessed and it's fast become THE birthday party destination of choice for discerning youngsters. All the fun is strictly off limits for those of legal drinking age.
But now in Kidzania Lates, actual grown ups get the chance to play at being grown up, but without all the faff and admin. Ever regret abandoning that juvenile dream of being Fireman Sam? Well you can 'retrain' as a firefighter. Or maybe a hairdresser or pilot? Hard work is rewarded with the in-house currency 'Kidzos', with which you can buy more opportunities (money does indeed make the world go around it seems).
The next Kidzania adults' event is a Christmas special, so make sure you're all good girls and boys.
The £30 ticket includes a welcome drink and the bar is open all night -- not that we recommend drinking on the job!

One thing I like about working in wood is, the variety of things you can do without spending a lot of money, once you acquire a few tools.
This stick, like all of them I make, was made from a 2×4 cut down to about 1-1/2" square, after which I made sweeping scoop cuts, as I moved down to the tip and turned the stick ninety degrees for each cut.
For whatever reason, I drilled holes in it and it sat around my shop for years, until I decided to run rope through the holes in this pattern.
Just for reference:
1) I make my tips using rubber corks from hardware stores. To do this:
a) Taper the tip to nearly the size of the cork;
b) Drill a slightly undersized hole, for a deck screw, into both the end of the stick and through the cork;
c) Attach the cork. Because the hole is slightly smaller than the screw, it forms the tip a bit as it sucks down into it, about 1/4" to 3/8";
d) Sand the wood to the diameter of the work to finish the taper.
2) Because this stick/staff and ones like it are made from 1-1/2" square stock, I can use a 3/4" round-over bit on my router to knock off most the stock and give me, essentially, dowels.
Keep in mind, after stock is taken back, the router bit bearing will ride further in and you are likely to get a line you will have to sand out. To deal with this, you can back the bit off a bit when the bearing has to ride on a previously routed section to reduce the amount removed by the bit and sanding.

The last of the unusually calm weather has passed. Normal service has been resumed with strong westerlies forging ahead of cloud banks smeared across the Outer Hebrides. Spring has retreated to the low hill behind me and dithers in patches of crisp sunshine. The winds are as twisted and tough as old dried heather stems; they bite and scrape at soft skin, moaning gleefully. At least the contortions of these old plants once aimed for the sun; the rasping breezes are fickle and directionless and pummel everything.
For a time yesterday sky and sea were no longer separate entities. They slid across one another in a fusion of mercury and silver. Rain fell in steel rods; colour was leached from the ground. What had been effervescent and Irn-Bru-orange on moorland became soggy-biscuit-dipped-in-tea-beige while hints of pea-green in our meadows sank into war-torn khaki. Even the burned toast patchiness of rock and heather on the hills merged into smooth darkness like grinds at the bottom of a coffee pot.
After more overnight rain the Red River filled and rushed to the sea in an avenue of ringing sound. Small burns that normally sneak down adjacent hillsides under and through heather clumps shone in ivory ribbons. On reaching the lower meadows they darkened becoming dull and full of peat and soil fragments, twigs and other dirty debris. The rising peat-bog's water table swelled iron-black pools to pearlescent plashes. When it finally stopped raining the mire's surface was prickled with chalk-white brightness like a paper doily held up to the sun light whose beams slip through the punctured patterns. Flickering motion made the whole bog seem alive.
Strangely, despite the buffeting winds and roving showers there was little movement in the slight curve of Opinan bay until a dark grey shape rose through the milling wavelets. A seal. Then another. I counted eight in total. Their smoky faces were accompanied by sea birds: gulls, divers, even the tufted head of a merganser. The birds bobbed along as if made of paper, origami creatures set afloat on a puddle. It is not uncommon to see a single seal basking in these waters on a calm early morning, head back and whiskers shining, but it is unusual for a large team to visit, especially in wilder weather. They have been here for over a week now. I had thought the turbulence and changing wave direction would drive them away, back to the shelter of Sheildaig perhaps, but no, they still seem to be taking advantage of the safe swimming and presumably good fishing.
I am jealous of their ability to 'hang' vertically even in choppy waters. I loved to swim in a rough sea and jump through big breakers as a child, and I still do. There is something comforting about being stirred about in a giant sea water pot that scrambles and fizzes against your skin. It is deeply cleansing and invigorating. And as I watched the seals from the dunes, well wrapped against the sand and salt filled wind, I was certain they were relishing their jacuzzi. Yes, there was no doubt in my mind, the seals were enjoying themselves.
Out in the rough corridor between the mainland and Hebrides a pewter ship reflected the sunlight that was nibbling at clouds. Its bow was bouncing hard, white foam breaking high upon the prow. Looking through binoculars I could see helicopters on its deck like lice on salmon and bright orange lifeboats fastened tight to its sides, glistening in the spray like the closed-up anemones on rocks at low tide. NATO have been playing war games along the west coast so there would be more ships out at sea but from my vantage point they were hidden from view in the silver salted air. Two jets flew across the mountains ripping through clouds and bludgeoning their way through the winds.
Local fishermen and wildlife cruise operators report that whales and dolphins disappear when war games begin or when the nuclear-powered submarines slip by. Perhaps this is the reason for seals in our bay; they do not want to play war.
Today the clouds are breaking. I cannot see any big ships. White crowns are shining on the waves and where they break open rainbow spray jets upwards. At the rocky coast below the croft the sea has been whipped into a growling, curdled grey-green porridge. Overhead bonxies fly. They have returned to nest and they skim along our cliffs sailing north then south as they hunt. Stonechats are playing marbles; I can even hear them above the noise of wind and breaking waves; they cling to wavering stems of heather or old, tough grasses that bend first one way, then another in the gusts.
What was pewter and steel grey yesterday is now mother-of-pearl and pale, milky turquoise. Sea and sky have parted though any conversation between them is loud and crinkled with moss-green waves spilling in from the west. There is more porcelain-white foam spurting across the sands and rollers are the colour of courgettes, flecked and shiny. At first I think the seals have gone but then I spot one and I soon realise they are all still here. They are diving through surf, splashing into breakers, twisting and turning, up and down, with an occasional glance shore-ward to see what humans and dog are doing.
I am immediately thrust back to my childhood holidays. I wanted to swim in all weathers and I usually did. My mother, wrapped in her coat, a wool scarf fastened tightly under her chin, clutching my towel, would watch and wait even in rain. I, wearing a black swimming costume, head in a white rubber cap, would dive through the crashing surf, gasping and choking on sea water, laughing with glee, skin red from cold and salt and sand chafing, not wanting the wild fun to end.
"You are a selkie, you are," she'd say.
"A selkie! "

Bayer Management of Innovation and Technology
Technological Change refers to the emergence of new products and processes in the marketplace brought about by innovative initiatives and distributive strategies; this in turn motivates formation of new industries and competitive rivalries for the organization. At Bayer it has always been their mission to create new innovations to better the lives of people. The pharmaceutical company has focused over the years on health care, nutrition and high-tech materials. Through Bayer Schering Pharma AG in Germany the company has been spearheading R&D in Oncology by employing multiple strategies and decimating competitive influences in the process. By analyzing Bayer's competitive approach to R & D, we can better grasp the scope of their strategies to evaluate their advancements in the field of oncology.
Main Ideas
❖ Bayer's strategy to maintaining competitive advantage lies in a simple concept: acquisition & investment. Under this model, they have incorporated a 3-pronged approach involving: (1) Drug-focus; (2) oncology patient research and (3) industry mergers and alliances.
❖ To show their commitment to R & D development, a look into Bayer's finances shows that £2.7 billion has been allocated to the organizations overall research initiatives. Oncology in particular contributed significantly to this bill
❖ Bayer has partnered with biotech institute Genzyme to further R & D into their secondary anti-cancer drugs like MacCampath; this has allowed them to free resources and accelerate development of cancer drugs as Nexavar
❖ On a more homeward front, they also established a large Innovation Center in the USA which enhances their already existing research strategy. These initiatives enable Bayer to broaden their scope in discovering, developing and commercializing novel anti-cancer drugs thereby further extending their oncology pipeline.
Main Ideas Examples
❖ Nexavar - Bayer's best-selling oncology product, currently...

android Issues with Evernote Document Camera
Nipon posted a topic in Evernote for Android IssuesWhenever I take capture a document, I focus the document within the centered area in the document camera interface but Evernote captures the area outside the document as well, like in ordinary camera mode, leaving me to crop the photo every time. Is it supposed to be this way? Also, the latest Android app took away editing features. Now documents captured have to edited by a third party app. Not a major issue but definitely slows down speed.

1. Boot into Safe Mode
Probably the only way to get things started when login screen doesn't appear in Windows 10 is booting your PC in Safe Mode.
When you boot your Windows 10 in Safe Mode, you won't need a login prompt to access. So, you can make a few changes in the Safe Mode and get the issue fixed.
There are some more reasons why booting into Safe Mode can fix the missing login screen on Windows 10. Firstly, the Microsoft Windows Safe Mode helps you detect errors in your system.
In this case, the Safe Mode identifies errors linked to the login screen.
Further, you can systematically check your system drivers, devices, and software. In Safe Mode, the Windows 10 activates all its drivers and connected devices to test their reliability.
Then, it also restores basic files and preinstalled software packages.
By now, your Windows 10 PC becomes completely aware of what has gone wrong with the login screen. So, follow the steps below and boot your PC in Safe Mode to fix the login screen.
- Turn on your Windows 10 computer
- Press the keys 'Windows' and 'L' at the startup screen to log out
- If you already logged out, click on the Power button at the bottom right corner
- Press-hold the Shift key
- Click on 'Restart'
- You'll see the boot options,
- Select 'Troubleshoot'
- Then, click on 'Advanced Options'
- Now, go to Startup settings
- Click on 'Restart'
- Reboot your PC
- During the startup, press the F5 key
- Select – Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking
Allow your PC to boot in Safe Mode. Then, restart your Windows 10 in Normal Mode and see if the login screen appears this time around.
2. Disable Fast Startup
Now, the solution above can surely get the login screen back on your Windows 10 computer. But, it still is a temporary fix to the problem.
If you need to fix the login screen issue once and for all, you need to make some changes within Windows 10. And, the first thing you do is turn off the Fast Startup feature.
Boot your Windows 10 in Safe Mode, restart it in normal mode and follow the steps below to disable Fast Startup on your PC.
- Right-click on the Start menu button
- Select 'Control Panel' and search for 'Power options'
- Go to the 'Choose what the power button does' option
- Select – Change settings that are currently unavailable
- Here, move the toggle for 'Turn on fast startup (recommended)' and disable it, or uncheck the option
- Click on Save changes and exit
How does this help?
The Fast Startup feature on Windows 10 is a hybrid state between the shutdown and hibernation mode. So, when you disable it, Windows doesn't jump to quick login attempts.
It systematically loads all drivers and data and allows Windows 10 to take time and start without any rush.
3. Turn on Password Prompts at Startup
To allow multiple user logins, Windows 10 login has password prompts. That's how multiple users working on a single PC can access their own accounts by feeding in the respective username and password.
But, it becomes a real mess when you don't get password prompts on the login screen in Windows 10. It compromises the security of your Windows user account(s).
Without password prompts, you can access Windows 10 even when the login screen does appear.
So, to enable password prompts at startup, follow the steps below –
- Since the Windows 10 login screen is not showing up, you can boot in Safe Mode and restart in normal mode
- Now, press 'Windows' and 'R' key to open the Run dialog
- Type the following the dialog box – control userpasswords2
- Press the Enter key
- Click on 'Yes' in the UAC prompt
- Now, in the User Accounts window, put a check against the box for Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer
- Click on Apply, and then on OK
Now, restart your PC to see if this helps you get back the missing login screen in Windows 10.
4. Generate New User Account in Safe Mode
Generally, password prompts are enabled by default on Windows 10. So, if that didn't help you restore the Windows 10 login screen, try this fix.
Here, you'll create a new user account in Windows 10 Safe Mode. By doing this, you'll restore the startup/login settings on Windows to default.
To begin with, boot your PC in safe mode (shown in the first solution). Then, go through the steps below and create a new Microsoft Windows user account.
- In the Safe Mode, click on the Start menu button
- Go to the Settings menu (click on gear icon)
- Navigate to Accounts
- Click on the Accounts tab
- And, select the option – Family & other people – on the left-side pane
- Now, click – Add someone else to this PC
- Then, select – I don't have this person's sign-in information
- Here, click on "Add a user without a Microsoft Account"
To create a new user account, you need to enter the desired username. Then, you'll follow a setup wizard that helps you set a password and other details for the new user account.
Lastly, click on "Next" to finish user account setup and restart your PC in Normal Mode. If the Windows 10 login screen does appear this time, try logging in with the new username and password.
5. Set an Automatic Log-in
If the method above fixed your issue, then your existing user account may have stemmed the "Windows 10 login screen not showing up" problem.
But, if the problem persists, here's another take on things. Now, you'll set an automatic log-in on your Windows 10.
To test this fix, you need to boot your PC in Safe Mode and restart it in normal mode (as discussed earlier). Then,
- Open the Run dialog box (Windows +R)
- Type – netplwiz and click on OK
- In the User Accounts window, uncheck the box – User must enter a name and password to use this computer
- Now, click on Apply and OK to save the change
You've enabled the automatic login on Windows 10. Just restart your PC and Windows skips the login prompt to show desktop.
This is a makeshift fix, as you can't get the login screen back on Windows 10, but instead, you skip through it. If you prefer doing so, then you can switch between user accounts by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del keys.
6. Rebuild Boot Options
You can now try resetting the startup settings on Windows 10. If the fixes mentioned above didn't work, you can consider rebuilding the Windows 10 boot options.
To rebuild Boot Options on Windows 10,
- Boot your PC in Safe Mode
- Type 'cmd' in Start search box
- Open 'Command Prompt' program
- Copy and paste the following commands, and press the Enter key after each command-line to run it
bootrec /rebuildbcd
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
Here, you'll get to choose the drive (select (C:) drive) to save the new startup settings.
Restart your PC to check if this helped.
7. Use Command Prompt from Boot
There's another command-line approach to fix this problem. Here, you'll troubleshoot the user account settings with Command Prompt and fix the missing Windows 10 login screen.
When you turn on your Windows 10 computer,
- Click on Power button on the startup screen
- Press and hold the Shift key
- Click on Restart
- Now, go to Troubleshoot>Advanced Options
- Here, click on Command Prompt window
- Type – net user Administrator /active:yes
- Press the Enter key
- And, then restart your PC
Check if you've restored the login screen on your Windows 10 system.
8. Reset this PC
If nothing works, you should probably consider restoring the Windows 10 system to an earlier point. Some newly-installed program may have caused the login screen problem, so resetting the computer can remove such programs.
You can follow the Reset wizard and reinstall Windows 10 to an earlier state. This way, your computer restores itself back to factory/default settings.
- Boot your PC in Safe Mode
- Open the Start menu
- Go to Settings (click on the gear icon)
- Go to 'Update and Security'
- Click on Recovery (left side pane)
- Click on Reset this PC
- Now, click on Get Started to initiate the reset
Follow the onscreen instructions. Resetting Windows 10 may take from minutes to a few hours, so be patient. Don't interrupt your computer during the reset, and keep it powered up.
Your Windows 10 login screen resumes back to normal once the reset is finished. Let's hope the Windows 10 login screen doesn't go missing this time around.

Most of us are excellent at being self-deprecating, and are not so good at the opposite. Tell us your favorite thing about yourself – Daily Prompt
My favorite thing about myself is my patience and laid back personality.
True, it can be less than a good thing in some situations. Because of my laid back personality it can come across in some situations as if I don't really care. It can also give people an opportunity to take advantage and get by with more than they should.
However the patience and laid back personality also allows me to be good at a lot of the things that I like to do.
For instance, it allows me to very rarely get frustrated or irritated with my four year old daughter. A lot of times how easy they are to deal with and take care of can be a direct correlation to how you interact with them. Especially when she was younger and took her calmness from me when she was upset.
It allows me to have the patience to coach youth sports. Especially when I coached baseball, which was a hurry up and wait game, the patience was needed to be able to deal with the restless children.
My patience behind the wheel allows me to not start screaming at other drivers with road rage. This helps me not set a bad example for my daughter who is in the back seat of the car listening to anything and everything that is being said, not only on the radio but also by me.
I am able to not be easily upset by the little things that happen in life. Some people I know and have come across let small things upset them and then when larger things come about they totally freak out. By being able to remain calm and relaxed I can better handle the bigger problems in life.
Without my patience and laid back personality I think I would find a lot of what I like to do to be hard to do. So I am truly grateful for this gift.
What is the favorite thing about yourself??

A senior Iranian official said any decision for regional states, including Syria and Iraq, should be taken by the people of those countries and any foreign interference will aggravate regional crises. Ali Akbar Velayati, the Leader's adviser on international affairs, also said on Tuesday that decisions for determining the future of Syria and Iraq as well as other countries fighting terrorists should be taken by the people of those states and any foreign meddling will only deepen the crises in the region. "Surely no military solution can be imagined for these problems," he said. Velayati noted that unfortunately terrorism and extremism are expanding in the region with the support of some western countries and their regional allies, Fars News Agency reported. "The only way to confront this phenomenon is by cutting support for all terrorist groups that have committed any kind of offense and crime against the oppressed nations of Syria and Iraq," he said.
The remarks came as Saudi Arabia and Turkey raised the possibility of sending ground forces to Syria.

New Canaan boys tennis tames Tigers in FCIAC quarterfinals
Recommended Video:
If it's tournament time, it's the time for the New Canaan boys tennis team.
The Rams took their first step into what is another promising postseason with a 4-1 win over the Ridgefield Tigers in the FCIAC quarterfinals Thursday at the NCHS courts.
New Canaan won two singles and two doubles matches, and two other matches were in thirds sets when the Rams clinched and play was halted.
The victory means the third-seeded Rams (15-2) will move into the semifinals against the second-seeded Greenwich Cardinals (16-1) on Monday. That match is scheduled to start at 4 p.m., at Greenwich High.
New Canaan took two singles points from Ridgefield, as Jason Lee and Erik Hoets took their matches at No. 3 and 4, respectively.
Lee held off Ridgefield's Ramiro Davila in a tough first set and went on to win 7-5, 6-2; while Hoets steamrolled James Crawford 6-0, 6-0.
Ridgefield's Brian Song took the No. 2 singles match, 6-2, 6-2 against New Canaan's Alex Merjian.
The Rams' No. 1 doubles pair of Matt Brand and Luke Crowley won their match in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2 over Tadd Long and Tanner Daubenspeck.
In the No. 3 doubles spot, New Canaan's Jack O'Connor and Chris Greene defeated Shane Bowler and Seth Prusko 6-0, 6-2.
Both the No. 1 singles and No. 2 doubles matches were in third sets when play ended.
At No. 1 singles, New Canaan's John Warner won the first set 6-0, and Ridgefield's Andrew Mercorella came back to take the second 6-2 and tie the score. Warner and Mercorella were tied 2-2 in the third when the match ended.
At No. 2 doubles, the Rams' Tommy Gilio and Alessandro Sulpizi won their first set 6-1, but Ridgefield's Drew Warren and Jordan Gilbert won the second set 6-3. Gilio and Sulpizi led 4-3 in the third when play ended.
When New Canaan faces Greenwich on Monday, it will have a chance to exact some revenge, as the Rams were narrowly defeated by the Cardinals, 4-3, during the first week of the regular season.
The Cards shut out Warde, 7-0, in their quarterfinal contest on Thursday.
