One more thing about "elitism."
What is most interesting, and least mentioned, in any discussion of this or that candidate's supposed "elitism" is the profound condescension it often shows toward the knowledge of the Average Man.
Take, for instance, the Arugula Libel.
Last year, Obama was addressing some Iowans and he said: "Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?" he asked. "I mean, they're charging a lot of money for this stuff."
This was taken as evidence of Obama's "elitism," that he is out of touch because he was talking about a supposedly exotic vegetable and a high-end supermarket in Jus' Folks Iowa. "Doesn't he know," went the response from the opinion factories of the East, "they only grow corn in Iowa and shop at the Hy-Vee, which certainly wouldn't stock something as highfalutin as arugula?"
The sentiment was repeated in today's Wall Street Journal by John Fund:
Democrats have been worrying about defending Mr. Obama's highly liberal voting record in a general election. Now they need to fret that he makes too many mistakes, from ignoring the Rev. Wright time bomb until the videotapes blew up in front of him, to his careless condescension towards salt-of-the-earth Democrats. Mr. Obama has a tendency to make such cultural miscues. Speaking to small-town voters in Iowa last year, he asked, "Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?"
Michelle Malkin, who long ago abandoned all debate tactics but the ad hominem smear, ran with the Arugula Libel, even producing a cute faux-poster depicting Obama with an arugula leaf.
This would all be real trouble for Obama if Americans actually were as stupid and parochial as writers like Fund and Malkin believe they are. But they are not. Arugula, far from exotic, is grown in Iowa and is widely available at supermarkets and farmers' markets in the state. You can even get it at the Hy-Vee. If you're in Ames, you can buy arugula at the farmers' market there. In Mingo? Head to Cleverly Farms, which has abundant arugula.
It is also telling that no article quoting Obama's arugula remark provides any context. Was he just bullshitting with the crowd about the price of foodstuffs? Or could it be that he knew farmers in Iowa grow arugula, and was trying, despite the constant clatter of nonsense he needs to speak over, to talk to them about their business, how generally they don't make a lot of money on their crops while companies like Whole Foods charge whatever they can get in a given market for their produce? I guess we'll never know, because long ago "reporters" decided the remark could only be used to characterize Obama as a salad snob.
Do these guys even know what they're doing? Do they even stop to think that maybe, just maybe, despite it's several syllables, most Americans know what arugula is? And that by pretending to be shocked that a candidate would be so out-of-touch as to mention the leafy green in Iowa, they are insulting the intelligence of the American Everymen they are usually trying so hard to impress?
The right-wing disinformation apparatus, and the pathetic individuals in the press and on television who continue to be intimidated by it—for example, everyone on CNN—have already settled on their tale of Obama, and, surprise, it sounds just like the tale of Kerry, which sounded just like the tales of Dukakis and Mondale. He's an "elitist." He likes fancy things plain folks don't get to have, like wine and salads not made of iceberg lettuce.
If only the Democrats were smart enough to put out there a true man of the people. A heroic brush-clearer like George W. Bush, or an honest-to-God cowboy like Ronald Reagan. The Democrats just don't understand regular folks.
It's starting to feel like a long, long way to November.
Credit where it's due: Thomas Frank discusses at-length the Latte Libel in his amazing book, What's the Matter with Kansas? Obviously, the term was the inspiration for the Arugula Libel.

There has been all manner of well-meaning advice on how to navigate the upcoming combination of the Marriott Rewards and SPG loyalty programs. Things like
- When to combine your accounts, especially important if you are working toward LT status in MR
- Strategies for coming up with extra LT night or LT points
- Speculative buying of travel packages to work the arbitrage of the conversion from certs back to points (or whatever happens to floater certificates).
- Whether to upgrade to the MR Visa (or to cancel and then reapply)
- How to deal with potential changes to Rewarding Events that could make it harder to earn elite night credits
One thing we should all remember is that almost every suggestion or tidbit of advice presented since the changes were announced are based on our interpretations of the official guidance from Marriott. Some of the wording has been vague, and at least so far, there has been almost no clarification from HQ, leaving us to muddle through the actual text to try to decipher it.
None of us really know what will happen when we combine our SPG and MR accounts. We've speculated that doing so would immediately move us into the new LT criteria (X years and Y LT nights) and derail anyone still trying to earn LT status under the legacy requirements (X LT points and Y LT nights). In reality, we don't know if this is true or not. Because we don't know, the general advice is to delay combining accounts as long as possible (first do no harm).
Likewise we don't know how Rewarding Events will be structured in the new program. For details, check out https://insiders.marriott.com /message/254307?commentID=254307&et=watches.email.thread#comment-254285.
Nor do we know for certain what will happen to unused certificates not attached to an existing reservation (see Floater Certificates? ). Some folks are buying them now more as a speculative investment than with actual planned uses. Caveat emptor.
The point is, until we get into the new program, there is a lot we don't know. It seems the best advice today is to take advantage of perks and benefits we think are going away and try to position yourself to get the most out of the combined program. This community has done a pretty good job of trying to help folks navigate through the upcoming changes. Unfortunately, the advice is based on our interpretations. Even the Marriott customer service folks have been providing sometimes conflicting information. In the end, it's not what they think nor what we think, but how Marriott decides to implement their vague guidance. Buckle up, it's could be a bumpy ride.
Thoughts, suggestions, and even more advice welcome.

When Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was born in 1984, Nancy Kramer was already three years along in running her digital-marketing agency, Resource Interactive. Kramer is one of those people to whom people like Zuckerberg might owe allegiance for envisioning, developing and evolving digital communications into the societal force it is today.
When Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was born in 1984, Nancy Kramer was already three years along in running her digital-marketing agency, Resource Interactive.
Kramer is one of those people to whom people like Zuckerberg might owe allegiance for envisioning, developing and evolving digital communications into the societal force it is today.
If Kramer�s name isn�t familiar, you might recall the Victoria�s Secret Super Bowl ad in 1999 that sent millions of people to the company website, crashing it. She and her Columbus-based agency were behind the ad.
Now 30 years old, Resource Interactive remains young in outlook. The average age of its 350 employees is �about 34 or 35,� she said, �although it used to be younger. I think all the people here could be my kids. Being in this environment is so energizing. I couldn�t imagine keeping up with it (technology) if I didn�t do what I do.�
Keeping in step with the cutting edge is something that Kramer and company have been doing since they gained their first major client � Apple Computer.
In 1981, she met two folks affiliated with Apple and found that the company had no plan for regional marketing. Having worked with radio broadcasters on just that kind of marketing, Kramer sensed an opportunity and created a business proposal to market Apple in the Midwest.
Apple co-founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak liked the plan. Kramer, eager to carve her own niche, was off and running in her own business.
Or off and dancing, perhaps. Kramer literally had the first dance with Jobs at an Apple sales meeting in Acapulco, Mexico, in 1982.
�There was a dinner party with live music in the evening,� she said. �The music was Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and Steve came over and asked me to dance. There weren�t very many women there, but it was remarkable. He was a good dancer. It was a blast. I thought Steve Jobs was amazing.�
Even though she became an admitted fan of Silicon Valley, Kramer was born and raised in Columbus. She graduated from Ohio State University and wanted to stay in town.
So, she made Resource Interactive a little piece of Silicon Valley.
�Working with Apple for 18?years highly influenced us in many ways, as all of our clients have,� she said. �But Apple probably more so than any other client.�
Some of those influences are in ready evidence. Resource Interactive employees typically dress in jeans and hoodies and sprawl out with their laptops in whatever area of the company�s Arena District offices strikes their fancy. And if employees feel the need for four-legged companionship while they work, they are allowed to bring their dogs to the office.
That casual, vibrant atmosphere is one of the strengths of Resource, said Michael Bills, executive in residence at OSU�s Fisher College of Business.
By thinking young and being in touch with young consumers, �They have a really good grasp about why younger consumers and women buy things, and they understand how they use digital technology in everyday lives.
�This is an agency that specializes in creating digital solutions for the Internet � digital advertising, digital applications,� Bills said. �They have an understanding of e-commerce but also mobile and social media. So, as more and more media dollars flow toward the Internet, Resource has benefited.�
One of Resource�s biggest ideas came out of an experience with Apple, when the computer company mulled over an idea for its famous �1984� TV commercial.
�There was a tremendous amount of argument over whether that commercial was going to air,� Kramer said.
�I worked with Apple doing marketing with the retail channel for the launch, and I had seen the commercial. Steve (Jobs) introduced it to all of us at the international sales meeting in October 1983, and we were over the moon. It was so cutting-edge, so breakthrough. We were all standing on our chairs, screaming and yelling, �Play it again! Play it again!� �
Years later, Kramer and Resource Interactive CEO Kelly Mooney were looking for a way to make a splash as they expanded their client list beyond tech companies into big retailers. One of their first big retail clients, Victoria�s Secret, was preparing to launch its website � and the memory of Apple�s �1984� ad surfaced.
�If I had not lived through that experience, I would never have had the idea to do the Victoria�s Secret live show,� Kramer said.
The idea was simple: The lingerie retailer would run its first-ever Super Bowl commercial announcing a live webcast of its spring fashion show.
Because Kramer and company had developed the idea for the commercial only a few weeks before the big game, she knew it would be difficult to get airtime. After some tricky negotiations and much discussion about the wisdom of running the ad at all, the commercial aired during the first quarter of the Super Bowl.
It was a sensation � not only for Victoria�s Secret but also for the Internet.
�We literally did shut down the Internet,� said Ed Razek, chief marketing officer at Victoria�s Secret parent, Limited Brands. It was crude, it was jittery, it was a small image, but 1.5 million left their TVs in the first quarter of the Super Bowl to log on to the Victoria�s Secret website, a site that wasn�t going to have the fashion show for four days.
The Victoria�s Secret event marked a turning point in technology, Razek said.
�Steve Jobs called it one of the 10 seminal events in the history of the Internet,� Razek said.
Such high-profile achievements naturally led to a rapid expansion. Resource Interactive�s clients include familiar names such as Procter & Gamble, Hewlett Packard, Wal-Mart, Coca-Cola and L.L. Bean.
To service those clients, �We�ve created 350 jobs,� Kramer said, with most employees in Columbus, a few dozen in Cincinnati, 20 working out of their homes (in seven states) and about a dozen in Palo Alto, Calif.
As the business side of the Internet continues to evolve and grow, the company does, too.
Resource Interactive does such things as develop advertising campaigns that appear on websites, on Facebook and other social media, and on mobile devices; create marketing campaigns that are sent out via email; and track consumer searches online to give companies a better idea of who is looking for their products.
�We�re just getting started,� Mooney said. �We could reasonably double the size of the company in the next five to seven years.�

Starting your website design on desktop is a great place to build out your brand and look. However there may come a point where you realize you may have forgotten about designing the mobile version and when you go to take a look, you may see something like this:
The good news is that you don't have to manually set up the design all over again. We have a canvas tool that allows you to help copy over the same settings and similar positions of the elements to reflect the desktop view. If you select the canvas and click on the 3 dots next to the canvas name, you should see an option to "Layout Mobile" in the menu that drops down.
Select it to open up a new window that will allow you to choose a handful of options to help orient your design to add order to the layout.
**These options are generated automatically and may not create the specific design you are looking for, however it should help give you an easier place to start and allow you to make adjustments to optimize the design for mobile.
- This option will generate a version of your site on mobile according to the mobile dimensions and layout.
- Scaled will create a duplicate version of the desktop version's layout *font sizes may need to be optimized for mobile viewing
- Stacked will center and resize all the elements on the canvas to display in order to allow easy manual placement of elements
- Does not adjust the layout of the mobile format (can be used when you want to copy only the design settings but not the layout)
- This will copy all of the desktop canvas settings and apply them to the mobile canvas settings.
- This will copy the element settings from desktop over to mobile.

By Mike Ashcraft
Box Score (PDF)
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Ohio baseball team (15-15) suffered a 4-0 loss to in-state rival Ohio State (21-10) on Tuesday (April 10) at Bill Davis Stadium.
The Buckeyes limited the Bobcats to just four hits and two walks.
"We're not in a very good place offensively, and we have to get some work in to get better at it," sixth-year head coach Rob Smith said.
Freshman second baseman Aaron Levy (Cincinnati, Ohio) was the lone batter for either team to produce a multi-hit day, tallying a single and a double. He and junior center fielder Devon Garcia (Bowling Green, Ohio), who doubled to lead off the top of the sixth inning, accounted for the game's only extra-base hits.
"We've just got to adjust," Levy of Ohio's offensive struggles. "We've had a couple of low-scoring games recently, but we'll figure it out. We've got to do a better job of battling in there, getting on base any way that we can. Obviously, those guys (Ohio State) did a good job of throwing strikes, and we got ourselves out, I would say."
Redshirt senior right-handed starting pitcher Cory Blessing (Mayfield, Ohio) threw three scoreless frames to begin the contest for the Bobcats. He struck out two while giving up one hit and one walk. Freshman righty Eddie Kutt (Westlake, Calif.) pitched two innings relief, fanning two but allowing three earned runs on four hits and a walk. He took the loss on the mound for Ohio, dropping to 1-1 on the season. Redshirt junior right-hander Nick Kamrada (Grand Ledge, Mich.) threw one inning, permitting one earned run on two hits. Junior righty Kenny Ogg (Indianapolis, Ind.) struck out one while allowing one hit and two walks over two scoreless innings of relief.
"I felt pretty good today and threw well," said Blessing of his start.
Sophomore right-hander Jake Vance set the tone of the contest on the mound for Ohio State, striking out six over 5.2 scoreless innings en route to earning the pitching victory to improve to 3-1 on the year. He allowed three hits and one walk. Redshirt junior righty Thomas Waning, sophomore southpaw Andrew Magno and redshirt senior Yianni Pavlopoulos combined to throw 3.1 innings of relief for the Buckeyes, with Waning tallying two strikeouts.
The Bobcats and the Buckeyes found themselves in a scoreless deadlock through the first four-and-a-half frames, with Vance posting five-straight zeros on the scoreboard for Ohio State and Blessing and Kutt combining to toss four scoreless frames for Ohio.
Ohio State broke the stalemate in the home half of the fifth, though. Junior catcher Jacob Barnwell hit a one-out single back up the middle, and sophomore right fielder Dominic Canzone sent a base hit through the left side one out later. Junior second baseman Kobe Foppe then drew a walk to load up the bases for the Buckeyes. Senior first baseman Noah McGowan worked the count full and delivered a two-RBI single through the left side to bring home Barnwell and Canzone. Sophomore first baseman Conner Pohl then gave Ohio State a three-run advantage when he singled to right center to drive in Foppe.
The Buckeyes tacked on a fourth run in the sixth. Designated hitter Brady Cherry led off with a base hit up the middle, advanced to third on a single through the right side and then scored on an RBI fielder's choice that put Barnwell on base.
Ohio looks to bounce back on Wednesday (April 11) when it hosts Shawnee State in a 6 p.m. ET matchup at Bob Wren Stadium. The contest will be streamed live by OhioBobcatTV via YouTube, with Connor Mills and Brad Walker on the call.

Almost four years after donating $50 million to the Sierra Club's "Beyond Coal" campaign, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is back with another infusion of cash, pledging an additional $30 million through his Bloomberg Philanthropies foundation.
"The single biggest reduction in carbon pollution in the U.S. has come by retiring and repurposing coal-fired power plants – and that's the direct result of our Beyond Coal campaign," Bloomberg said, adding that the U.S. last year led industrialized nations in carbon emissions. "But much more work remains, and today we are doubling down on what has proven to be an incredibly successful strategy for improving public health and fighting climate change."
Since the partnership between the Sierra Club and Bloomberg kicked off, more than 185 coal plants have either been retired or transitioned to cleaner sources of energy. Coal dependence in the U.S. has also declined, with coal making up 38 percent of the energy mix compared to 52 percent in 2011. Funding increases have also allowed the Beyond Coal campaign to expand from 15 states to more than 40. With this new infusion of cash, the new goal will be to close or transition half of the nation's coal plants by 2017.

"Mike Bloomberg's continued commitment to clean air, water, and climate action demonstrate his understanding that we are at a critical turning point in our nation's history when it comes to how we power our economy and ensure healthy families," said Michael Brune, Sierra Club executive director.
Bloomberg's re-commitment to fighting Big Coal comes on the heels of a new push by the Obama administration linking climate change to personal health issues.
"I think we've always known — or at least in the 20th century we've understood — that environment has an impact on public health," President Obama told CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta on Tuesday as part of a roundtable discussion for National Public Health Week.
"I remember when I first went to college in Los Angeles in 1979, the air was so bad that you couldn't go running outside," Obama said. "You'd have air quality alerts, and people who had respiratory problems or were vulnerable had to stay inside. We took action, and the air's a lot better."
There's no denying that air pollution has improved in the U.S. over the last several decades, but there are still many gains to be made. A 2012 study found that 40 percent of people live in areas with unhealthy levels of air pollution, with coal-fired plants by far the largest industrial source of airborne toxins. According to the Clean Air Task Force, closing a single plant can prevent 146 asthma attacks, 47 heart attacks, and 29 premature deaths each year. For every 50 gigawatts of coal taken offline in the U.S., the health care industry saves an estimated $2.5 billion in costs.
Added Brune: "The Sierra Club and our 2.4 million members and supporters are proud to stand with Mr. Bloomberg today to continue building on the successes of the Beyond Coal campaign, and we look forward to more victories for public health and our planet that will be won state by state, city by city, and by dedicated people across America."

Malda: Kidnapped boy's body found, 2 cops injured in mob attack
Malda (WB), June 29: The body of a kidnapped boy was found at Kaliachak in Malda district on Tuesday triggering mob protest in which two policemen were injured.
A police officer said as a force went to lift the blockade on NH-34 by a mob which was protesting the death of 14-year-old Sabir Momin, the cops were greeted with brickbats.
Two policemen sustained injuries in the brickbatting but discharged after being treated at local health centre, the officer informed.
Momin, student of class VII in a local school went missing yesterday and his body, bearing marks of torture, was found from a nearby mango orchard falling under Nouda-Jadupur gram panchayat under Kaliachak block this morning, police said.
Deceased's father Ibrahim Momin claimed his son was kidnapped yesterday and was a victim of rivalry between two gangs in the area. The blockade, which went on for over three hours, was lifted after a strong police contingent went to the area and local political leaders persuaded the mob.
A section of locals claimed that the stretch in Kaliachak area, adjacent to arterial NH-34, had been witnessing armed skirmishes between the two gangs - owing allegiance to one Gokul Seikh and Jakir Seikh - in the area for turf control.
Both the gangs enjoyed political patronage of different parties, the locals alleged.

Slashdot has nice book review of Hacking Digital Cameras. The book review is carried out by Daniel.
I came across this book via the author's website www.camerahacker.com. I was interested in making a pinhole lens at the time so I picked up the book. Disclaimer: I'm NOT a hacker by nature. I only did a hack on a lens cover. Most of the hacks in here are for those with a better relationship with screwdrivers, drills and soldering irons than I have. I don't think this book was intended for me, so keep that in mind when reading my review.
A quick list of the types of hacks in the book are as follows.
1: Hacking Cameras — (triggers, tripods, raw data, power, remote control and updated firmware)
2: Hacking Lenses — (accessory adapters, changing magnification, pinhole, lens extension, macro adapters)
3: Creative Photography Hacks — (filters, infrared, and removing infrared blocking)
4: Building Fun Camera Tools — (car mount, headrest mount, bicycle spy cam, stabilizer, flash bracket, monopod, and studio light)
5: Flash Memory Hacks — (CF Type I to PC Card Type II, removing microdrives)
6: Appendices — (Soldering Basics, Circuit Symbols, Glass Cutting Basics, Photographer's Glossary, Index)

QMK keymaps are defined inside a C source file. The data structure is an array of arrays. The outer array is a list of layer arrays while the inner layer array is a list of keys. Most keyboards define a
LAYOUT() macro to help you create this array of arrays.
In QMK,
const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS] holds multiple layers of keymap information in 16 bit data holding the action code. You can define 32 layers at most.
For trivial key definitions, the higher 8 bits of the action code are all 0 and the lower 8 bits holds the USB HID usage code generated by the key as keycode.
Respective layers can be validated simultaneously. Layers are indexed with 0 to 31 and higher layer has precedence.
Keymap: 32 Layers Layer: action code matrix----------------- ---------------------stack of layers array_of_action_code[row][column]____________ precedence _______________________/ / | high / ESC / F1 / F2 / F3 ....31 /___________// | /-----/-----/-----/-----30 /___________// | / TAB / Q / W / E ....29 /___________/ | /-----/-----/-----/-----: _:_:_:_:_:__ | : /LCtrl/ A / S / D ....: / : : : : : / | : / : : : :2 /___________// | 2 `--------------------------1 /___________// | 1 `--------------------------0 /___________/ V low 0 `--------------------------
Sometimes, the action code stored in keymap may be referred as keycode in some documents due to the TMK history.
The state of the Keymap layer is determined by two 32 bit parameters:
default_layer_state indicates a base keymap layer (0-31) which is always valid and to be referred (the default layer).
layer_state has current on/off status of each layer in its bits.
Keymap layer '0' is usually the
default_layer, with other layers initially off after booting up the firmware, although this can configured differently in
config.h. It is useful to change
default_layer when you completely switch a key layout, for example, if you want to switch to Colemak instead of Qwerty.
Initial state of Keymap Change base layout----------------------- ------------------31 3130 3029 29: :: : ____________2 ____________ 2 / /1 / / ,->1 /___________/,->0 /___________/ | 0| |`--- default_layer = 0 `--- default_layer = 1layer_state = 0x00000001 layer_state = 0x00000002
On the other hand, you can change
layer_state to overlay the base layer with other layers for features such as navigation keys, function keys (F1-F12), media keys, and/or special actions.
Overlay feature layer--------------------- bit|status____________ ---+------31 / / 31 | 030 /___________// -----> 30 | 129 /___________/ -----> 29 | 1: : | :: ____________ : | :2 / / 2 | 0,->1 /___________/ -----> 1 | 1| 0 0 | 0| +`--- default_layer = 1 |layer_state = 0x60000002 <-'
Note that higher layer has higher priority on stack of layers, namely firmware falls down from top layer to bottom to look up keycode. Once it spots keycode other than
KC_TRNS(transparent) on a layer it stops searching and lower layers aren't referred.
You can place
KC_TRANS on overlay layer changes just part of layout to fall back on lower or base layer. Key with
KC_TRNS and
_______ are the alias) doesn't has its own keycode and refers to lower valid layers for keycode, instead.
For this example we will walk through an older version of the default Clueboard 66% keymap. You'll find it helpful to open that file in another browser window so you can look at everything in context.
There are 3 main sections of a
keymap.c file you'll want to concern yourself with:
Custom Functions, if any
At the top of the file you'll find this:
#include QMK_KEYBOARD_H// Helpful defines#define GRAVE_MODS (MOD_BIT(KC_LSHIFT)|MOD_BIT(KC_RSHIFT)|MOD_BIT(KC_LGUI)|MOD_BIT(KC_RGUI)|MOD_BIT(KC_LALT)|MOD_BIT(KC_RALT))/* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** You can use _______ in place for KC_TRNS (transparent) ** Or you can use XXXXXXX for KC_NO (NOOP) ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * */// Each layer gets a name for readability.// The underscores don't mean anything - you can// have a layer called STUFF or any other name.// Layer names don't all need to be of the same// length, and you can also skip them entirely// and just use numbers.#define _BL 0#define _FL 1#define _CL 2
These are some handy definitions we can use when building our keymap and our custom function. The
GRAVE_MODS definition will be used later in our custom function, and the following
_FL, and
_CL defines make it easier to refer to each of our layers.
Note: You may also find some older keymap files may also have a define(s) for
_______ and/or
XXXXXXX. These can be used in place for
KC_TRNS and
KC_NO respectively, making it easier to see what keys a layer is overriding. These definitions are now unecessary, as they are included by default.
The main part of this file is the
keymaps[] definition. This is where you list your layers and the contents of those layers. This part of the file begins with this definition:
const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS] = {
After this you'll find a list of LAYOUT() macros. A LAYOUT() is simply a list of keys to define a single layer. Typically you'll have one or more "base layers" (such as QWERTY, Dvorak, or Colemak) and then you'll layer on top of that one or more "function" layers. Due to the way layers are processed you can't overlay a "lower" layer on top of a "higher" layer.
keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS] in QMK holds the 16 bit action code (sometimes referred as the quantum keycode) in it. For the keycode representing typical keys, its high byte is 0 and its low byte is the USB HID usage ID for keyboard.
TMK from which QMK was forked uses
const uint8_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS]instead and holds the 8 bit keycode. Some keycode values are reserved to induce execution of certain action codes via the
Base Layer
Here is an example of the Clueboard's base layer:
/* Keymap _BL: Base Layer (Default Layer)*/[_BL] = LAYOUT(F(0), KC_1, KC_2, KC_3, KC_4, KC_5, KC_6, KC_7, KC_8, KC_9, KC_0, KC_MINS, KC_EQL, KC_GRV, KC_BSPC, KC_PGUP, \KC_TAB, KC_Q, KC_W, KC_E, KC_R, KC_T, KC_Y, KC_U, KC_I, KC_O, KC_P, KC_LBRC, KC_RBRC, KC_BSLS, KC_PGDN, \KC_CAPS, KC_A, KC_S, KC_D, KC_F, KC_G, KC_H, KC_J, KC_K, KC_L, KC_SCLN, KC_QUOT, KC_NUHS, KC_ENT, \KC_LSFT, KC_NUBS, KC_Z, KC_X, KC_C, KC_V, KC_B, KC_N, KC_M, KC_COMM, KC_DOT, KC_SLSH, KC_RO, KC_RSFT, KC_UP, \KC_LCTL, KC_LGUI, KC_LALT, KC_MHEN, KC_SPC,KC_SPC, KC_HENK, KC_RALT, KC_RCTL, MO(_FL), KC_LEFT, KC_DOWN, KC_RGHT),
Some interesting things to note about this:
From a C source point of view it's only a single array, but we have embedded whitespace to more easily visualize where each key is on the physical device.
Plain keyboard scancodes are prefixed with KC_, while "special" keys are not.
The upper left key activates custom function 0 (
The "Fn" key is defined with
MO(_FL), which moves to the
_FL layer while that key is being held down.
Function Overlay Layer
Our function layer is, from a code point of view, no different from the base layer. Conceptually, however, you will build that layer as an overlay, not a replacement. For many people this distinction does not matter, but as you build more complicated layering setups it matters more and more.
Some interesting things to note:
We have used our
_______ definition to turn
KC_TRNS into
_______. This makes it easier to spot the keys that have changed on this layer.
While in this layer if you press one of the
_______ keys it will activate the key in the next lowest active layer.
This should have given you a basic overview for creating your own keymap. For more details see the following resources:

As a building biologist, my primary role is to identify the possible cause of health complaints and then hunt out the hazards in a home. It is quickly evident when there are problems with indoor air and electromagnetic radiation. However mould and problems from water damage is far less obvious – except to a trained professional.
Many people don't realise that materials that remain wet for more than 24 hours begin to become problematic.
"Don't worry about it, it's only water!" Something we all have said… and then left the spill to dry out naturally.
Although this is a common behaviour, it is something that needs changing.
When something becomes water damaged from clean water, this is classified as Category 1. However, left wet for more than 48 hours, it progresses to Category 2, "grey water," and after 72 hours it is classified as Category 3, "black water."
Black water contains pathogenic agents – that is, it poses serious health risks.
However, it does not need to become grey or black water to become problematic. Materials that are wet can support mould growth.
When you think about it, mould is everywhere. It is so useful in our environment for breaking things down. All it requires is food, enough moisture and off it goes.
However, we do not want mould in our homes. Mould is not only structurally damaging to our buildings but can be incredibly problematic for health – particularly in anyone who has been sensitised to it, or is already vulnerable.
The other thing to know is that mould may be present even when you can't see or smell it.
Mould may be growing inside a wall cavity, behind a cabinet or even on a visible surface but it is not visible to the naked eye.
Mould can cause many health complaints and Dr Ritchie Shoemaker has coined the term "Chronic Inflammatory Response" to describe the chronic issues those who are sensitive to mould experience.
I have found that it can play to the role of a stressor, and hamper one's ability to handle other toxicants and stressors.
Water Damage Examples
1. Under the Shower Recess
This photo shows what was happening "behind the scenes" when there was a leaking shower. The whole underside of the floors were covered in mould, despite the floors only being six months old.
TIP: Leaks need your prompt attention.
2. Fascia Under the Eaves
This photo shows what happened to the asbestos fascia boards when the gutters had been blocked for a long time.
Often, blocked gutters result in water flowing into the roof space.
TIP: Clean our your gutters regularly.
3. Swollen Cupboards
In this photo, you can see that the chipboard has swollen from water damage, and the melamine is lifting off.
Chipboard is like fast food for mould – because it is ground wood, it is like pre-digested food.
TIP: Clean up any spills quickly.
4. Peeling Wallpaper
This photo shows peeling wallpaper. This had occurred years prior to my audit and was the result of overflowing gutters and roof damage.
What may surprise you is that despite there being no mould visible, I took a mould sample from under the raised portion, and the lab results showed elevated levels of mould spores and hyphae.
TIP: Attend to any leaks quickly and dry anything that has become wet.
Your home is like your second skin. It needs to be strong and healthy to support you in being strong and healthy

Comprehensive characterization of neuroblastoma cell line subtypes reveals bilineage potential similar to neural crest stem cells.
BMC Dev Biol. 2009 Feb 12;9(1):12
Authors: Acosta S, Lavarino C, Paris R, Garcia I, de Torres C, Rodriguez E, Beleta H, Mora J
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Neuroblastic tumors (NBT) derive from neural crest stem cells (NCSC). Histologically, NBT are composed by neuroblasts and Schwannian cells. In culture, neuroblastic (N-), substrate-adherent (S-) and intermediate phenotype (I-) cell subtypes arise spontaneously. METHODS: Here, neuroblastoma (NB) cell line subtypes were characterized according to embryonic peripheral nervous system development markers (GAP43, Phox2b, Sox10, c-kit, GD2, NF68, vimentin, S100beta, calcyclin and ABCG2), morphological features, gene expression and differentiation potential. I-type cells were investigated as a bipotential (neuronal and glial) differentiation stage. RESULTS: Positive immunostaining of NCSC (GAP43, c-kit, NF68, vimentin and Phox2b) and undifferentiated cell (ABCG2) markers was observed in all NB subtypes. N- and I-type cells displayed cytoplasmic membrane GD2 staining, while nuclear calcyclin was restricted to S-type. N- and I-type cells showed similar phenotype and immunoreactivity pattern. Distinct gene expression profiles (microarray and Q-PCR) were associated with each cell subtype. N- and I-type cells displayed similar differentiation capacity towards neuronal and glial lineage fates. S-type cells, upon induction, did not show a neuronal-like phenotype, despite gene expression changes. CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that N- and I-type NB cell subtypes represent an immature bilineage stage, able to progress towards neuronal and glial fates upon induction of differentiation. S-type cells appear irreversibly committed to a glial lineage fate.

(London, UK)
My lovely cat, sleeping in the garden.
Hi, I'd like to tell you the story about when my tabby cat went missing, so here it is: my cat was borne in November 2001 and I got him from a charity together with his sister who unfortunately disappeared in early 2004.
He has always been a very loving cat and has never been away from home more than half a day, usually only a few hours at the time. I have a cat flap in my back door, and he is free to come and go as he wants to, day and night. He always calls me when he arrives through the cat flap – as to say "I'm home,
where are you?" and I always answer him, well, that is if I am home and awake!
But one Sunday in March 2010 he went out as usual in the afternoon and was out the whole day. He didn't even come home while I was making dinner, which is very unusual, because my cat knows the time, he knows when it's around 7:30 and I usually start cooking my dinner. If I am late getting started, he will usually come and find me and sit in front of me, staring at me as if to say "don't you know what time it is?!"
If I make a move, he will be up on his feet before I know it, heading for the kitchen. If I don't follow, he will be back after a few minutes, sitting down in front of me again and resume the staring tactic until I give in and follow him into the kitchen! The reason for all this is because while I make my own dinner, he always gets his second meal of the day – just the same old cat food he gets for breakfast, but that doesn't seem to make a difference; it's the highlights of the day every time I get the tin out of the fridge :-)
Back to that Sunday in March; he didn't turn up for dinner, and he didn't turn up later in the evening, which is very unusual – he always lies in my lap while I watch TV after my dinner. And when I went to bed and he hadn't turned up I knew something was wrong. I hoped he would be home the next morning, but he wasn't, and I went out regularly in the garden calling for him, in case he had been in a fight and was too hurt to come home.
After a week I made a poster with a photo of him and printed up enough copies for all the houses that have a garden into the square I live in, in all 4 streets, nearly 60 in total, and my son went and put them through people's doors. No one called unfortunately, and I tried to prepare myself for the fact that this would be the second cat going missing.
This is the thing about having cats; it is a risky life being a cat in a big city, the main hazard being created by cars. So as a cat owner I realise that there are certain elements that I have no control over what happens to my cat every time he leaves through the cat flap. I have no idea where he goes, how far he goes, what he does, if he visits other people and if he eats other people's food...all these things are entirely up to my cat, I have no control over it – but I would really like to know!
One thing I do know is that my cat occasionally visits a man who uses a very nice aftershave! Whenever he comes home smelling of that aftershave, at least I do know he has been back there, although I have no idea who that man is and where he lives of course. I also think my cat visits someone who feeds cats, or perhaps set out food to the foxes, which some people actually do!! I can tell by the amount of food he eats here at home that he must have found food elsewhere too. My cat has always got dried cat foot available, I never remove it, and yet he eats less tinned food in some weeks compared to other. I am pretty sure he has found some little old lady feeding stray cats in our area, and he is lining up along with the rest of them looking as hungry as he can manage to get his share. It's probably better and more expensive cat food than what he gets at home too!
As the weeks went by without my cat turning up my hope of ever seeing him again dwindled, and after 2 months I had no hope left at all. It was spring and warm weather, but I could see no reason why he hadn't come home, other than if he had been injured so badly that he had been killed. During the summer I was asked by several people if I would have another cat again, but I thought it was too soon to start all over again. Besides, I would never take on an adult cat; I would only take a kitten I could bond properly with, and they are a lot of work the first year so I didn't feel I would be able to do all that at the moment.
Then one evening, it was actually another Sunday, just as I was getting ready to go to bed I heard the cat flap slam. Not that that noise was anything unusual; every time it is a bit windy the cat flap will slam, it's just a sound I was used to and I took no notice of it. I had been thinking of covering up the cat flap, as I obviously didn't need it anymore, but just hadn't got around doing it yet. So there I was, in the bathroom brushing my teeth, with the door half open, and suddenly I felt something stroking my bare leg. I literarily jumped, luckily not making a noise, as that would probably have scared what stood in front of me....because right there on my bathroom floor stood my cat, after 4 months and 3 weeks away! And he was just as affectionate as usual, he behaved just like he always used to, he looked just like he used to, wasn't skinny at all, not even slim! And the first thing he asked for was food, then a cuddle on the sofa and then he slept in my bed the whole night and hasn't left the house for more than a few hours at the time since then, which was August 2010. Amazing huh? :-)
I really, really would have liked to know what happened to him. What made him not come home in the first place, and what kept him from coming home all those months? Was he injured and took all this time to heal? Not very likely, he would have been very skinny, because if he couldn't have come home he probably couldn't have found much food either. Did someone out there take him in and adopt him so that he "forgot" about me and his home? Don't think so, we had a great bond which seems to be exactly the same as before, so why would he have had temporarily amnesia for nearly 5 months and then suddenly remembered me again? What about this one: there is a garage in the centre of the square, right over on the other side from my garden. My cat is always lying on top of the wall at the end of my garden, looking down on their yard so he is probably a frequent guest there.
What if he climbed in to the boot of a car they had left open, and they closed it without seeing him; the owner came to pick up the car and drove home – which could have been very far away, and when they came home and opened the boot, my cat probably just ran out in panic....and then my cat spent all those months finding his way home to me. It's just speculations of course, but my cat isn't telling me where he has been and what he has been up to, so all I am left with is guessing. I really would have liked to know! And, more importantly, I would have liked to know so I possibly could have prevented it from happening again. I thought he was dead, and I was preparing myself for perhaps making the decision not having a cat again, to spare myself for the heartache of losing yet another cat.
I hope he is back for good :-) I hope whatever made him disappear won't happen again, but if it did, I won't give up hope so soon. I have seen now that he can come back after a very long time. Sadly, that didn't happen to his sister. But whatever made him go on his excursion, something made him come back, and that's what makes him come back here every day. A lot of people who don't have cats say that cats only come home because they know they will get fed. That's so not true. A cat has a bond to it's owner similar to what it had to it's mother; it can be a very strong bond if you cuddle and give your cat a lot of attention or it can be a weak bond if you give it less attention, but food on it's own is not enough for a cat to keep turning up and asking for attention, if it only got food the cat would leave again as soon as it got fed and not stay and sleep and ask for your attention. My cat and I have a very strong bond, I know what he wants most of the time, and he also responds to me surprisingly well.
He knows for example that it takes me a lot longer to walk down the stairs in the morning now than it used to do, so he no longer run down the stairs to get downstairs for his breakfast. Instead he takes the stairs in my pace, waiting on the landing for me, before jumping off a few more steps, turning around and looking at me to see that I am still on my way and when I am almost down he will run off and sit outside the bathroom door waiting for me. He knows there will be no food until I have been there first! Another thing he does, which is really strange....during the night he usually sleeps on top of a work surface I have put up in the hallway right outside my bedroom, on a thick blanket. But sometime during the early hours of the morning he usually comes into my bed, as I leave the door ajar, and he will sleep the rest of the night in the foot end of my bed. But when I am in bed with a migraine, he always come and lies on my pillow, close to me. This is quite strange, because I can't get him to do this normally, if I ask him to come and lie closer he might come and lie down for a few minutes, but then move away down to the foot end pretty soon. But when I have a migraine, he will lie next to my face, purring for hours and hours. It happens so often it can't be a coincidence, I am sure he can sense that something is wrong with me. I quite like it and it doesn't usually disturb me as long as I can manage to keep his tail out of my face :-)
I realise that my post is getting very long, I hope you are still reading and if you are interested in more stories from me you can go to my blog where you will find this story and many other: http://graphicality-uk.blogspot.com
Thanks for reading about when my cat went missing and came back nearly 5 months later :-)

Published on February 07, 2014
It's the last thing you expected—or wanted—after bariatric surgery: weight gain. And yet it does happen to some patients. If you are gaining weight after bariatric surgery, contact your doctor right away to make sure there are no serious problems, advises Prashanth Ramachandra, MD, director of Mercy Bariatrics at Mercy Fitzgerald.
For some, weight gain is a natural response: over time, the stomach stretches and you need more food to feel full. For others, unhealthy eating habits have resurfaced. But at Mercy Fitzgerald, the Mercy Bariatrics program offers continual support to get patients back on track for weight loss.
Patient participation is key to success in bariatric surgery, says Dr. Ramachandra. Mercy Fitzgerald provides psychological counseling services, diet and nutrition classes, support groups and exercise classes. In the monthly support groups, you'll meet people just like you, who can share the same ups and downs of losing weight and maintaining the weight loss. In addition, these support groups offer educational materials designed to help you keep the weight off and improve your overall health.
Patients who've had bariatric surgery must also adjust their diet — reducing portion size and cutting back on sugar and fat.
But the good news? The body adjusts over time. "Eventually patients will change their eating patterns," says Dr. Ramachandra. "This helps in maintaining the weight loss."
That's also why Mercy Fitzgerald offers exercise and wellness classes designed for bariatric patients, so they can learn new eating habits and how to adjust to their new lifestyle. "We have an extremely successful program," says Dr. Ramachandra. "In terms of weight loss and resolution of comorbidity or multiple medical conditions, our patients do exceedingly well."
Are you ready to lose the weight for good? Learn more about bariatric surgery by calling 1.855.LESS YOU.

The Knox Memorial Association was formed from the efforts of the General Knox Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Thomaston, Maine, with the purpose of creating a suitable memorial to General Henry Knox, the country's first Secretary of War. Mrs. Herbert M. Lord, a well-connected Washingtonian originally from Thomaston, initiated an aggressive letter writing campaign to enlist the support of various dignitaries, including Vice President Charles G. Dawes. The Knox Memorial Association successfully completed a reconstruction of Knox's mansion, Montpelier, in 1930.

In addition, your program will also have access to materials to prepare your fellows for the board certification process, including a resident written examination, mock fact finding exercises, and ethical vignettes. APPCN member programs also follow a competency-based curriculum designed to prepare fellows for the ABPP/ABCN board certification process. Your program will be able to participate in the Match process. Once you are an APPCN member, for access to the the APPCN Members Handbook and mock exams, please see the Members Only page.
Who can apply to APPCN? Training directors of programs that offer postdoctoral training in Clinical Neuropsychology, which adhere to INS/Division 40/Houston Conference guidelines for postdoctoral programs.
Does the Training Director have to be Board Certified? Yes, although provisional membership may be available on a case-by-case basis (e.g., if training director is in process of board certification)
How much does it cost to apply? Application for membership in APPCN is free.
What are the yearly dues to be an APPCN member? $150, plus a $10 Match assessment fee.
How does one apply? Please click here to access the APPCN Self-Study form (the application)
We are a brand new program with no graduated postdoctoral fellows and much of what we are writing in our self-study is aspirational. How do we fill out the sections of the self-statement that ask about our history? As a new program, you are not expected to be able to supply historical data. If the new training director was a former training director at another APPCN site, that information can be used in an aspirational manner from which to model the new program.
Is there a time period for which a program needs to exist before applying for APPCN Membership? APPCN does not have a policy of a certain number of years/fellows being run through before the program can apply for APPCN status. One of the missions of APPCN is to nurture new programs and thus invites such programs with the hope of mentoring them by example and ongoing education. However, the Membership Committee may ask you to defer your Self-Study until you have had experience with a postdoctoral fellow and developed rotations and didactics.
We would like to join APPCN in time to participate in this February's match. How long is the turnaround once we submit our self-study document? Generally, the turn-around time from time of application to decision is about six weeks. However, the deadline to submit your application is November 1 of the prior year to be able to participate in the Match of the following February. If a program does not meet the November 1 deadline, the program is still eligible to participate in the APPCN Match as a non-member.
How are the self-study materials reviewed for potential member programs? The Membership Committee, consisting of the Membership Chairperson and three Membership Committee members evaluate the substance and merit of the self-study. If there are questions that need to be clarified by the Training Director at the applying site, these are discussed by the Chairperson and the Training Director in order to satisfy the committee. The ultimate goal is to ensure that the program has the components required to satisfy APPCN specifications and also to ensure the quality of the program for postdoctoral fellows. Once the self-study has been approved by the Committee, its recommendations are forwarded to the APPCN Board for their approval. When that approval has been obtained, the President will issue a formal letter of acceptance to the site.
As a relatively new program applying to APPCN, how will the organization help us mentor our postdoctoral fellows regarding the boarding process? APPCN supplies guidelines and recommended references. In addition, APPCN provides written exams, which must be carefully guarded and administered under strict security to protect the test itself. This will allow the postdoctoral associate to gauge the breadth and depth of the exam and to begin to prepare accordingly. APPCN also provides mock adult and pediatric fact-finding cases as well as ethical vignettes.
This is our first year to offer our fellow the practice exam. How should it be administered? Test security is very important as these tests are extremely difficult to create. You should find a mutually agreeable time for your fellow to take the exam in a quiet area, such as a conference room or testing room. The fellow should be handed the exam by you as opposed to sending it electronically. The testing time is one hour. At the end of it, the fellow should bring you the exam, which you then score. You can share the results with the fellow, showing him/her the scored exam in your presence. No copies should be made by the fellow. You will be asked to send the completed scored exam to the President of APPCN and to fill out a very brief questionnaire about your site. The goal is to ascertain how our APPCN program fellows are faring with regard to knowledge needed for the exam. The practice exam also helps the fellow hone in on how to study for it.
I am a faculty member at an APPCN Member Program. How do I join the APPCN ListServ? Please click here.
As a longstanding APPCN program, we have concerns about applicant withdrawal rates increasing. What are those rates and are they increasing? As of the results of the 2011 Member Survey, the withdrawal rates have remained stable at approximately 30% from 2007 to the present.
From the recent surveys, what have been critiques from applicants that we can address as training directors? Some of the applicants have been expressed concern when sites do not tell applicants if they are going to be interviewed. Others have complained that the application materials vary from site to site. Yet others have asked for a uniform application deadline. Some applicants have requested that the sites ensure that the information they have posted on different websites is consistent and not out-of-date. This can be a problem if the important information, e.g., deadlines, are not accurate.
Due to financial constraints, our APPCN Fellowship Program will not be filling a position this year. Is there any reduction in fees for us? Programs that have not offered a residency position for a period of two consecutive cycles (four years) are placed in "inactive" status. The fee for a program in inactive status is reduced by 25%.

How long do they live? Thanks to an intriguing dissertation and the Alaska Science Forum, the oldest estimates are 114 [1] to 120 years old [2].
Where are they found? All over the ocean. There are two subspecies, one found in the northern hemisphere and the other in the southern hemisphere.
What do they eat? Fin whales use baleen plates to filter water and take in plankton, krill, fish and shrimp.
What do they look like? They're giant and they are the second largest animal next to the blue whale. The Fin whale can reach 85 feet in length and weigh up to 73 tons [3]. See figures 1 and 2.
How do they reproduce? Fin whales reach sexual maturity between 6 and 12 years of age. This whale reproduces sexually and fertilization is internal. They are viviparous and give birth to live young and the mother nurtures the growing calf [4].
How do scientists know how old they are? Aspartic acid racemization [2] and by counting the waxy layers of the ear plugs [4], which sounds like a fairly gross job for some poor graduate student out there.
So what are we lacking? Universal empathy. Oh and there's no nuclear genome information for Balaenoptera physalus on the NCBI. There is, however, information regarding the mitochondrial genome.
Conservation status: Endangered as indicated by the IUCN Red List. Why are they endangered? They're big and rather gentle, so people eat them. They've been almost eaten into extinction.
Interesting facts: Fin whales and Blue whales sometimes mate and produce hybrid offspring [4].

As much as I love summer (in small, not-too-sweaty doses), I'm much more of a winter foodie sort. The recipes that get me in the kitchen are the kind of calorific, starch-laden dishes that keep us warm in the colder months. You know the things I mean – the rich, meaty stews, the syrupy puddings with lashings of custard, the crispy roast potatoes dipped in gravy. Right about now, I bet you're shouting 'STOP! I do not want to hear of such things! It's 30 degrees out! Be quiet and fetch me an ice cold drink and a lemonade sparkler lolly'. My point is that in these slightly warmer temperatures, being in the kitchen does not excite me in the slightest. When thinking of suitable summer cuisine, my mind draws a blank. Which means that salad becomes pretty boring, pretty quickly. The same goes for sausages. And….well that's all I've got, sorry. And for those shouting 'But it's summer! Let's have a barbecue!' – well, we've just come home from school, the kid's are hot and bothered and grumpy (as am I), so let's not, eh?
So for all of you who live in the real world, how do you solve the dilemma of boring hot weather food? I don't think I've got all the answers, but here's a few ideas that might stop you throwing an iceberg lettuce out of the window in frustration…
How about what you usually eat, but just….colder? Ok, I don't mean exactly the same, but with a few changes here and there. Where you might serve some buttery boiled potatoes in the autumn, you can still boil the pototoes just do them a bit earlier, and instead of adding adding butter, stir in some plain yoghurt and mint sauce and voila – minted potatoes! Same goes for homemade potato salad, which I'm sure I've mentioned on a previous occasion, seeing as I hate shop bought potato salad with a passion. Just add a bit of mayonnaise, salad cream, chopped spring onions and seasoning to them. Other summery starch requirements could be met with a bit of cous cous. It is ridiculously easy and quick to prepare and you can add what you want to it, or rather, what your kids will eat, to it.
Those salads….seriously, I'm getting fed up with them already and we've still got six weeks of summer left…possibly. How do you make them more interesting? Well one way is to add a bit of spice. There are countless Thai salads recipes available that can provide a main meal as well as a more enticing side option. And talking of spice, there are plenty of much warmer countries out there then ours who find spicy food more then adequate in scorching hot temperatures. So before you baulk at the suggestion of a curry on a hot and balmy evening, thinks about where the curry might have originated from and what sort of temperature it might be enjoyed in over there. You can always leave out the more filling elements and go for a lighter vegetable curry with some homemade flatbreads and a cucumber raita.
So instead of being annoyed with the effects that summer seems to have on my culinary 'skills', I'm going to embrace the opportunities it gives. The family's fruit intake definitely increases, and a simple tea of cold meats and cheese, pitta breads, dips and… um, salad could not be quicker to prepare on a baking hot day. I just need to make sure that the salad is the most exciting salad known to humankind, that's all. No biggie.[indeed-social-media sm_list='fb,tw,goo,rd,pt' sm_template='ism_template_3' sm_list_align='horizontal' sm_display_counts='true' sm_display_full_name='true' ]

Premier League Matchweek 29 DraftKings preview
It's Matchweek 29 in the Barclays Premier League or the EPL as it is commonly know worldwide, and there are some fascinating match-ups, with Tottenham v Arsenal at White Hart Lane set to take centre stage.
This is one of the most significant North London Derby meetings in years, with Spurs sitting in 2nd place 3pts behind Leicester on 54 points, with Arsenal a further 3 points behind on 51. Both teams missed a chance to get closer to the leaders, with Spurs losing to West Ham in the week and Arsenal also losing to Swansea.
With home advantage Spurs will be well fancied but you just don't know which way these derby games are going to go on the day.
Another intriguing match-up this week are the two in-forms teams playing each other, as West Ham who currently sit 4th in the form table (last six games) make the trip North where they will face Everton (6th) at Goodison Park. In reality these two teams sit 6th and 11th respectively in the league, but they are certainly in fine form as it stands.
West Ham can make top-4 a reality though if results against the two Manchester clubs go their way as they are a point behind the two with City sitting 4th and United 5th. They will find it tough though, as they have not beaten Everton at Goodison in the last seven years, and have lost four of those meetings in that time. They have also won just one of their last six games on the road, although they will take heart from the fact that Everton have won just one of the last six games in front of their own fans, losing four in the process.
Looking at the form it can go either way on the day as both teams are evenly matched, with Everton maybe having the slight edge thanks to a certain Romelu Lukaku. Lukaku who found the net again in the week against Villa, marked his 17th goal of the season. This was his first in seven, but he will keen to get to the 20-goal mark before the end of the season. Other stars on show will be the likes of Dmiri Payet and Ross Barkley who will be throwing themselves in the mix as midfielder of the season alongside Mesut Ozil and Deli Alli.
There are a five other games on Saturday ; Chelsea v Stoke, City v Villa, Newcastle v Bournemouth, Southampton v Sunderland, and Swansea v Norwich. These are the games that I will be focusing my attention on regarding fantasy picks.
I will be picking two players from each category, my favourite player in each position (without price consider) and a sleeper/value pick who to me represent the best value of the week.
DraftKings Premier League Preview:
Lukasz Fabianski ($3,800) - Norwich have lost their last five straight away games and scored just one goal in the process, since beating Manchester United 2-1 the weekend before Christmas. With that in mind I can see them struggling against this Swansea side that beat Arsenal at the Emirates in the week.
Fabianaki made 13 saves against Tottenham three games ago, and made 3 last game against Arsenal.
His points chances must be boosted by Norwich's lack of ability to score on the road and I can see him slamming the door shut this week, hopefully keeping a clean sheet for just the second time in his last ten games.
He maybe a risky play, but he represents good value considering the opposition, and there are question marks about the others above him in the price list.
Charlie Daniels ($4,200) - Daniels has double-digit outings in his last three matches against ; Southampton (10.5), Watford (14.0) and Stoke (17.5), this was of course helped by clean sheets for Bournemouth against both Southampton and Watford in the last two starts.
His best tally in that time was obviously the 17.5 against Stoke and that was secured with his 5th assist of the season, six crosses and also adding a shot on goal. Strangely this was the game of the three where he didn't keep a clean sheet, and it's likely he doesn't keep one again this week.
In Newcastle's last three games they have scored 6 goals, including 3 against United in the 3-3 draw and the should be good enough to get a goal against this Bournemouth.
It's the upside that you get with Daniels' production and if Bournemouth can score a goal, there is a good chance he could be involved.
Vincent Kompany ($2,700) - Despite City not keeping clean sheets in any of their last three league games, they have played Tottenham, Liverpool and Leicester you have to fancy them to keep an Aston Villa side who sit bottom of the table at bay for 90 minutes.
In this fixture, Villa have only managed 4 goals in the last 8 meetings, those goals coming over the space of three games and City have won every time, winning to nil on five occasions.
Kompany, although not a prolific point scorer (averaging 5 points this season) is the sort of the player that can nick a goal at any point and if you expect, like I do he will keep a clean sheet he's worth the $2,700 you need to spend on him.
Xherdan Shaqiri ($6,100) - Shaqiri is slowly turning into Stoke's main attacking outlet, taking the reigns from early season form man Marco Arnautovic.
Crosses are a big part of players points scoring in this game and Shaqiri has put in 33 of them in his last two starts, which is absolutely off the charts.
He has got a goal and two assists in his last three games, and he is definitely in the reckoning for the best fantasy midfield option at present.
His 29.5 points tally against Newcastle last week was a great performance, and he can put in a solid effort again at Stamford Bridge. These two fixtures actually came in a row earlier in the season and he got 6.5 against Newcastle and 11.0 the next game against Chelsea, so I think he can get a decent score again this time around.
I am playing Shaqiri until there is a significant drop in form from him.
Michail Antonio ($5,100) - Antonio has finally started showing what he's capable of on a regular basis and with goals in his last two starts I am happy to take a chance of him scoring again.
West Ham will be well up for the visit to Everton, and will fancies their chances of taking points back to East London.
If he doesn't score, he should at least be busy with efforts on goal and will hopefully be involved in any chances or goals his team can muster up.
His points total in fantasy has very much relied on him scoring goals, as he's not the busiest player otherwise in the other scoring facets of the game, so I'm hoping the scoring streak makes it to 3 in 3.
Sergio Aguero ($8,600) - There's a reason Aguero is the priciest player this week, and that is because he has the softest matchup, Villa at home.
Whilst he drew blanks against Tottenham and Liverpool in his last two league starts, he's scored 8 goals in all competitions since the start of 2016 and he should find the net again this week.
Villa are the sort of the side Aguero can run ragged and it wouldn't be a surprise at all to see him chip in with a hat-trick this week.
Max Gradel ($4,100) - Gradel has returned from a torn ACL he suffered back in August and on his two games back he has accumulated 28.0 points.
He only played 67 of the 90 minutes on his return as he came on for Junior Stanislas in the 23rd minute against Watford, but he still managed to fire 3 shots on goal and swing in another 2 crosses, whilst generally being busy, good enough for an 11.0 point showing.
In his last game he put in 10 crosses and also took a shot on goal, which along with the other facets of his game was enough for 17.0 points.
Now in his third game back he should be firing on all cylinders, and given the type of player he is, he has the ability to score double-digits every week.
If he can get some more shots in and get his first goal for the club, something that is feasible against a questionable Newcastle side, he could be a great option, given his $4,100 price tag this week.
Sleepers/Utility picks:
Struggling to fill your team, due to low funds after you've tried to fit in the likes of Aguero and Costa in the same lineup? Here's two players under $3,000 who could well add some cheap points for you.
Ramiro Funes-Mori ($2,500) - Funes-Mori has played fairly well this season and generally likes to get involved at the attacking end of the pitch as well as doing his defensive duties, chipping in with 9 shots in his last four games.
He contributed a goal and an assist against Villa mid-week, which secured him 21.0 points and in a game where a set-piece could be the difference, it may be worth having the Everton man in your line-up.
Bertrand Traore ($2,800) - At $2,800 Traore offers great value. Listed as a midfielder, the forward can add a goal against Stoke and he's definitely worth adding to the lineup.
He's got double-digit points in the last two games thanks to a goal and an assist, which should have been enough to secure more playing time.

I'm cookin' up a real blog tonight so stay tuned for that because I was in a good mood and now I'm so not and I'm actually gonna spill some real talk this time around with no innuendos or underlying messages.
For now here's a little pictorial of my last good time with my awesome crew.
Dear Summer… I know you're gonna miss me.
Listen to this while you read 🙂
D/L: ===> Nina Sky – Beautiful People
It's the 4th of July 2009. The view from Ali's spot was pretty bawwwssss! Look at the money blowing up in the air!
Pictures of pictures speak volumes… So many memories 🙂
Shaun… The only picture of this man from this weekend I have… The skinny is I redeemed myself from calling a group of lesbians, "lesbians" and Shaun amazed me by pretty much running though "the office" and getting his swag on with no iPhone. He went into the spot and pulled a 3 for 1 and left em for a jumbo slice of pizza. 🙂
Shkeema & Niloufar. Tinny hands (Nilou) and subtle sex (Keema). These are the only 2 people I know that think everything I say is from the perverted point of view. It's a shame… So not me 😉 Next time I got to Nilou's place we're throwing some meat on that grill and Shkeema's gonna eat it 🙂
Just met these 4… They're pretty cool. Even though one of their kind murdered Steve McNair… Watch out for Persian girls…. 😦 joking! Y'all are awesome.
Aby… Ms. Awsome… One person who's as crazy as me and ain't worried about who cares… No one will ever see the video Aby 🙂 I promise… 😉 hahahahahaha
Ali loves his little baby bottle of Ciroc Obama… Daam recession
Lisa Turtle 🙂 Killin' em with one smile… So bawwwsss!
Ali… Always surround by ladies, but… Well that's life I guess 😉
And Aby says it all right here… WE HAD A BALL!
Now that I'm off and on to bigger and better things. There's always one thing I'll appreciate and that's good friends. These niggas right here, don't give a fuck what we say or do or whatever to each other and other people. We've all fucked up and have done fucked up things, but at the end of the day it's all love because the truest friends shouldn't judge you or put you in a place or make you feel like you don't count. I don't talk to these niggas all the time, but I know if I needed them, they'd be there for me.
That's LOVE… That's what friends are for. That's why I know that this time I'm taking off from bullshiting will be well worth it cause to see my family and friends smile is all I'm in it for.
07.06.2009 ===> I'm gone & tomorrow begins.

Myth: A Hospice Patient Can't Go to the Hospital
MYTH: "I thought that if my mother was under the care of hospice, she could no longer go to the hospital if she needed to. In the past year, she has been hospitalized several times because her pain got out of control."
TRUTH: While Heartland Hospice strives to manage pain and other uncomfortable symptoms outside of the hospital setting, a hospice patient always has the choice of whether or not to go to the hospital. The Medicare Hospice Benefit covers short-term general inpatient care in the hospital when a patient's symptoms can no longer be managed in another care setting.
