Movie theaters in North America have started to receive promotional standees for Deadpool 2, which may have just revealed the official title along with some other rather humorous details. Ryan Reynolds is back in Vancouver for Deadpool 2 reshoots, which were scheduled months ago, and he's been teasing some interesting behind-the-scenes videos of a haunted hallway as well as the place where a gruesome murder took place, but we have still yet to learn the official title for Deadpool 2. However, it looks like the answer was right under our noses the whole time.
The new standees that have been sent to movie theaters feature Deadpool getting all cozy with a giant letter "D," with a caption that reads, "It's Bigger." The Wade Wilson male anatomy joke is pretty blunt and lets fans know that the Merc with a Mouth has not lost his edge for the sequel. But the important part here is that it reveals that the title is Deadpool 2. That's right, just the name of the movie and the number 2, no colon or long title like Star Wars: A Solo Story or Avengers: Infinity War.
Deadpool 2 was already going to stand out from the rest of the pack, but if the title remains the same, it will be refreshing. For a while, it looked like the movie could be called Deadpool: The Sequel, but Deadpool 2 sounds and looks a lot better. And let's face it, when your promotional standee is just one big joke about the male anatomy, simplicity is the key. Deadpool's sense of humor may have to come out in full force to off-set some of the rumors suggesting that the movie is going to be darker and more dramatic than the first.
Domino actress Zazie Beetz has claimed that Deadpool 2 is a lot heavier than the first movie. She also noted that there's more dramatic parts as well as a serious tone that left many fans scratching their heads. But, Domino's backstory isn't exactly a fairytale, and either is the backstory of Josh Brolin's Cable. People seem to forget that Wade Wilson's past isn't the most uplifting of stories either, but that's what the humor will be utilized for, much like the first movie.
Deadpool 2 will be a lot different from the first movie in that there will more than likely be more character development with the addition of Domino and Cable, but it looks like Wade Wilson is ready to keep the party going while also kicking some ass. It was recently revealed that Avengers: Infinity War had its release date pushed up a week, much like the release date of Deadpool 2. This gives the Merc with a Mouth extra insurance for his shot at number one at the box office for the opening weekend. You can check out the promotional standee for Deadpool 2 below, thanks to MovieLord's Twitter account.

Techies can be successful when marketing their products.
The only difference between a failed startup and Google is that Google was able to transform technical innovations into a business plan that works.
For IT support, technical professionals are being handed the keys to one of the most important assets that a business holds: their IT infrastructure.
For this reason, IT support professionals will want to do whatever possible to convince their prospective clients that they are trustworthy and competent.
One of the best ways to generate business for an IT support company is to offer things for free. Of course, IT support professionals are in business to make money. But customers will love that they can try your services for free before committing to a long-term contract. One thing to offer for free is an initial diagnosis of a problem that the company is facing. The IT support professionals can then provide a solution for an affordable price.
Another effective strategy for promoting an IT support company is to offer a free software program or application that can solve a problem that the company is currently facing. Providing something for free will help the client remember the IT support company and will also create a sense of reciprocity.
IT support professionals often amass a great deal of knowledge that can be of use to other people. This knowledgebase can be useful when staying in touch with clients. IT support professionals should always ask current and prospective clients if they want to sign up for a newsletter. Newsletters serve similar purposes as free software and will also help the IT company position itself as a thought leader. Asking clients to get in touch through social media such as Facebook or Twitter account is also effective.
As an IT support company begins to expand its business, it might feel that it needs to expand the number of services that it offers. While this is sometimes a good idea, specialization is usually a more effective marketing strategy than being a generalist. It is much more effective to specialize in one area and focus marketing efforts toward convincing clients that the IT support company is the best solution for that particular problem.
For example, an IT support company might want to present themselves as the best security monitoring company in the area.
The best time to reach a company through IT marketing efforts is before they realize that they need IT support. Then, the IT support company will be the first impression for their prospective client when it comes time to hire an IT support professional.
Small businesses do not always realize that they need an IT infrastructure to make their workflow more efficient.
There are many marketing strategies that are effective at winning over customers. One type of marketing material that technical support specialists see a lot of success with is that of a case study. Case studies are essentially stories that a company tells about a problem that they solved.
By just trying one, two or a combination of the above sales techniques you can help conquer your fear of selling and, at the same time, grow your customer base and become a thought leader in your field. What have you got to lose?

ARCATA, Calif. — For 36 hours, the faculty and students at Humboldt State University juggled normalcy and disaster as best as they could, trying to help a busload of shell-shocked youngsters from Los Angeles get through what should have been a typical college visit.
The youths were the other half of a charter group that had left Southern California on Thursday in two motor coaches — the second of which collided with a FedEx truck and burst into flames, leaving 10 dead and dozens injured. A third motor coach carried students from Fresno and Sacramento.
"We're trying to keep things normal," said Dan Saveliff, a university director, as he corralled a reporter who arrived Saturday to attempt to interview students before they returned home early. The usual Saturday afternoon barbecue on the beach had been called off so students could get home sooner.
They were part of a group of minority and largely first-generation high school students Humboldt has recruited to enroll in California's most out-of-the-way public university. About 45% of those who accept the bus ride wind up returning as students, a primary source of ethnic and social diversity for Humboldt and also Arcata, the coastal village that forms the other half of the local population.

Not exactly a ton of big names swinging through our area this weekend, but it's a decent mix of local and out of town talent who will ply their craft this last weekend in May.
First the shows we've already clued you to in print or via the blog: Tonight's one-man band meltdown with Bob Log III, Williem Maker and El Paso Hot Button at Dada; Paramore opening up for No Doubt and The Sounds Saturday night at Superpages.com Center; also on Saturday, it's the poster of the week show featuring The Atoms and The Drams at Dada.
Now, onto some other weekend musical options:
Alpha Rev, The Campaign
Friday, May 29, at House of Blues Pontiac Garage
Austin's Casey McPherson started Alpha Rev in 2005 after his first band, Endochine, broke up. Good thing too because Alpha Rev is a much better musical proposition. The Greatest Thing I've Ever Learned, the band's debut, came out in 2007 and showed McPherson to be an earnest guy with a semi-literate way with a mope-rock melody. Although Alpha Rev's sophomore effort was never released due to legal hassles, the band's third effort is set to come out this fall.
Brandi Carlile, Gregory Alan Isakov
Friday, May 29, at The Granada Theater
This show is already sold out, but I'm certain some enterprising types will be out front to sort out your entertainment needs. Hailing out of Washington (the state), Brandi Carlile is yet another one of those genre twisting, earthy female singers. Her songs have been described as rock, country, indie and folk. Normally, it's my opinion that such genre hopping results in a diluted product, but Carlile has the vocal chops to pull it off. Her 2007 release, The Story, was produced by T-Bone Burnett and put Carlile into the national spotlight. Isakov was born in South Africa and raised in Philly and his brand of folk has also garnered signficant acclaim.
RTB2, Cocky Americans, PVC Street Gang
Friday, May 29, at Hailey's
Great local triple bill that is probably better than any collection of national acts coming through this weekend. PVC Street gang's debut EP is scheduled to hit the streets any day now and this is a nice chance to catch them before the usual 1:00 am starting time.
Slaid Cleaves, John Cowan Band, Mando Saenz
Saturday, May 30, at The Granada Theater
Austin singer/songwriter Slaid Cleaves went to the University of Texas and majored in English and Philosophy. That tells you about everything you need to know. Except that Cleaves' most recent effort, Everything You Love Will Be Taken Away, may be his best ever and that his shows are often as potent as that whiskey/lime juice/honey concoction that your mom gave you when you had a sore throat. Former New Grass Revival front man John Cowan is also on this talent heavy bill and will surely thrill any guitar pickers who find their way into The Granada Saturday night.
Mad Mexicans, Peacemaker, Dirty Little Mouth, After Summer
Saturday, May 30, at The Curtain Club
Another fine collection of locals topped by the area's best Latino-esque rockers, Mad Mexicans. Peacemaker just finished recording a live album and should be in good spirits as well. This show should go well into Sunday morning, so catch a nap after mowing the lawn.

Robert Gomez, Bosque Brown, John Brown, Matthew Gray
Saturday, May 30, at Lola's
A better quartet of singer/songwriters, local or otherwise, would be difficult to find. Both Gomez and Gray specialized in ethereal pop that's somehow catchy and dreamy at the same time. And I wish I had a nickel for every blurb, blog post or print story that featured Bosque Brown this year. Considering my already iffy tax situation, maybe I don't.

Sunday, May 31, at House of Blues
Blues legend B.B. King seems to make his way to North Texas quite regularly, but at 83 years old, you never know how many more tours the guitarist extraordinaire has left in him. After nearly fifty albums bearing his name, the third greatest guitarist (according to Rollin Stone Magazine) in music history is always worth a trip to the West End.
Kate Voegele
Sunday May 31, at The Loft
This 22-year-old from Cleveland has the looks and talent to obtain a bit more than the obligatory 15 minutes of fame. Voegele is taking a break from acting in the television program One Tree Hill in order to promote her sophomore musical effort A Fine Mess.
Sure it's glossy and poppy and not just a wee bit generic, but Voegele's music fills a similar niche as that of Taylor Swift. Plus, she's just as hot.
Max Stalling, Phil Pritchett, Walt Wilkins, Kurt South
Sunday, May 31, at Longhorn Saloon
Another great quartet of area singer/songwriters, this time with a hardcore country vibe. Max Stalling is simply one of the best tunesmiths in Texas, be that in any genre. But the supporting cast on this healthy bill isn't too shabby either. Pritchett, Wilkins and South all know their way around a good, cry-in-your-beer two-stepper, so come ready to hoist a few cold ones.

Pros and cons of offering specialty escort services
Many escorts start out in the industry providing general services to the client who wants a standard encounter. Some may expand their services to include the Girlfriend Experience (GFE) or role playing, but those are fairly "vanilla" provisions. When an escort who specializes in basic encounters looks for new ways to generate income, it's fairly common for her to consider expanding her offerings. Continue reading

exclude tests from package view Follow
I got a bit confused playing around with scopes and prefixes.
I'm very fond the package scope from the project view. Nevertheless, I wish to filter out the test resources. I tried to play with the scopes, and the production one is closest to my needs, but it's still unperfect as resources and classes are separated, and name of folders is still shown.
Any ideas?

I do not believe there is a way to show only production classes in the packages view. I'd recommend opening a feature request: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com

Echo Memories adds its voice to the farewell tributes to Feethams football ground, which has also hosted lacrosse and baseball during a chequered sporting career.
IT would be inappropriate for this column, with its historical bent, to allow Feethams football ground to be bade farewell without offering its own goodbyes.
The full story of the ground's beginnings was told in Saturday's supplement, which marked the last game to be played at Feethams after 120 years.
The full story of the football club, and football in general in Darlington, begins with one figure: Charles Samuel Craven.
He was born in 1863 near Chesterfield and came to Darlington in 1879 - presumably to be involved with the town's railways, because he was an engineer by trade. By inclination, he was a goalkeeper.
Craven started playing with Haughton-le-Skerne, which was possibly the first club in Darlington. In the first Challenge Cup organised by the newly-formed Durham and Northumberland Football Association in early 1881, Haughton reached the final.
On their way, they beat Bishop Middleham 7-0 in the first round and Ferryhill 2-1 in the second. They had a bye in the semi-final and lost 1-0 in the final to Newcastle Rangers.
In the cup's second season, 1881-82, Haughton-le-Skerne were drawn at home to Darlington Grammar School. The Grammar School had entered the previous year's competition but had withdrawn at the last moment.
In the late 1881 fixture, the Grammar School beat Haughton 4-2. They then drew Tyne in the second round, but decided Newcastle was too far to travel and so withdrew.
In 1882-83, only one Darlington team entered the Challenge Cup. That was Hurworth. They were drawn against Derwent Rovers, but were expelled for failing to arrange the fixture in time.
This lack of Darlington representation in what was regarded as the region's premier footballing competition concerned Craven and others so much that a meeting was held on July 20, 1883, in Darlington Grammar School - it was in the Leadyard, where the Town Hall car park is today.
The Darlington and Stockton Times explained that there was "no club, urban or rural, sufficiently powerful to worthily represent Darlington".
More than 30 people attended the meeting, many of them representing a small club in the district, which shows how the town's footballing community had splintered.
The meeting was chaired by the school headmaster, Philip Wood MA, and it was unanimously decided that a proper football club should be formed.
Craven, of 17 Garden Street, who was then honorary secretary of the Haughton club, was elected secretary of the new club and told to go away and organise it.
He stuck himself in goal, and the fledgling Darlington FC played their first couple of games in North Lodge Park before moving to Feethams.
They made an immediate impact on the Challenge Cup, reaching the final in their first season, 1883-84. That final against Sunderland was "a most unpleasant match", according to The Northern Echo. Darlington lost 4-3 but protested about the referee's decisions, so Durham Football Association ordered a rematch.
Darlington lost the rematch 2-0, but The Northern Echo did list their team: Craven was in goal; the backs were TJ Cleave-Warne (captain), A Pryce, HJ Hodgson, J Moore and JCP Maynard; CL Glover and T Wright were the right-wingers and WE Kirsop and AC Tofts were on the left-wing; TW Dixon, a Grammar School teacher, was the centre.
There are no longer any Cleave-Warnes in the Darlington phonebook - nor, for that matter, are there any Kirsops or Toftses - but it would be fantastic if anyone in the area recognised an early Quaker from their family tree and could tell us about him.
Having been involved with the formation of Darlington FC, Craven had another idea in 1889: forming a North-East league.
According to the Northern Goalfields book, compiled by Brian Hunt and edited by the redoubtable Mike Amos, Craven was "entirely responsible" for inviting 19 Northumberland and Durham clubs to a meeting at the Three Tuns Hotel in Durham City on March 25, 1889. It was this meeting that decided to form the Northern Football League - a league which is still going to this day and boasts that it is the second oldest in the world.
Indeed, when the short-lived North-Eastern Football League was formed a little later it dismissively referred to its rival as "the Craven League".
Craven's career as an engineer took him to Leeds in 1890, then Kent in 1893, before he went to work on the railways in Rhodesia.
He is still remembered in North-East footballing circles: last night the Craven Cup final was played at Horden between Ashington and Evenwood.
THERE was great and intense rivalry in those early footballing days. Also founded in 1883 was a team called Darlington St Augustine's. They were based around the Catholic church and they played at Chesnut Grove, in Valley Street.
This stadium was probably the best in the North-East - but not good enough for Mr Craven. When he held his inaugural meeting in the Three Tuns in 1889, St Augustine's were not among the 19 clubs invited to attend because by him they were "considered too small fry".
However, as only seven of the 19 agreed to join the league, Mr Craven was forced to approach St Augustine's and beg them to make up the numbers. Graciously, they agreed.
The first league meeting between the sides came on September 21, 1889. At least 4,000 spectators squeezed into Feethams, even though the price of admission had been doubled.
Tom Devey scored the only goal in the tenth minute for Darlington. However, the Saints had the last laugh because, unchristianly packing their side with Scottish professionals, they won the inaugural Northern League title on goal difference from Newcastle West End.
This made the Saints' 1-0 home victory over Newcastle East End particularly important - especially as the thousands of people inside Chesnut Grove saw Newcastle equalise.
However, those were the days before floodlights and nets and, in the gathering gloom, referee Phillips from Northumberland could not be certain where the ball had gone and so gave a goal kick.
"He disallowed a goal because he was too far away to see it," moaned the Echo.
"But if a referee will not exert himself to keep up with the players, it is adamantine parallelograms - indeed, hard lines."
St Augustine's got their come-uppance the following season when they teetered on the verge of bankruptcy and all the professional players left. They dropped out of the Northern League and were never the same force again.
The club folded during the First World War and gradually the stadium was eaten into by Valley Street housing and industry. Enough was left, though, in the early 1930s, for Darlington FC to seriously consider leaving Feethams for it. A part of the stadium lasted as the Darlington Arena boxing ring until 1975.
THERE were other early sides in the area of which we know little. What of Hurworth, for example? They were Darlington's only representative in the 1882-83 Durham Challenge Cup. They also entered the cup in 1884-85 and lost 1-0 in the first round to Darlington FC at Feethams.
Then, in 1892-93, Hurworth reached the third qualifying round of the FA Cup proper.
However, they failed to field a team even though they were drawn at home and their opponents, Darlington FC, went through with a walkover.
There was also a club called Darlington West End about whom we know absolutely nothing except that in 1890-91 they, too, entered the FA Cup.
They reached the second qualifying round and were drawn against Darlington FC - but could not put out a side to play the cup tie.
Finally, there was Darlington Albion, as shown in the picture above, which was found in The Northern Echo archives.
If anyone recognises a name, a face or - perhaps easier - the windows of the church, please let us know.
Finer points of lacrosse lost on local crowds
WHEN Darlington Football Club arrived at Feethams in 1883 it was a sporting late-comer. A wide variety of sports had grown up around the cricket club which had been playing on Feethams field since 1866.
The most unusual must have been lacrosse which was played there on July 17, 1883 - three days before Charles Craven called his meeting to form the football club.
Lacrosse is an excellent sport which involves using a net on the end of a stick to hurl a hard ball at a goalkeeper who you hope will miss it so that the ball ends up in his goal.
A crowd of a thousand or so paid a shilling to watch a touring team of Canadians take on a team of Iroquois Indians.
The Northern Echo said that Feethams was "in excellent condition for running and is perhaps one of the best fields for the game in England".
The Iroquois probably did not agree, because they lost the contest by five goals to two.
The Iroquois team sheet must be the most bizarre ever handed to a referee at Feethams: Strong Arm, Deer Whispering, Scattered Branches, June Stand Up, Tree Fall Down, White Cloud, Flying Wind, Leaves Chasing Quick, Waving Blossom, Hole In The Sky and White Water.
The Darlington and Stockton Times reported: "Some in the crowd thought it a milk and watery business. Others considered it too rough and not scientific enough. Some preferred cricket; many preferred football, and generally lacrosse was voted good, but not equal to what we have in England.
"Certainly the sight was lively enough and no doubt if the games were always accompanied by such adjuncts as real live Red Indians in war paint and feathers, it will always attract a certain number of visitors."
There is no record of lacrosse ever being played at Feethams again.
Baseball was also played at the ground, on July 3, 1918, when a large number of American servicemen were in the district.
Teams came from the US bases at Driffield and Guisborough, and "keen interest was shown throughout by a large crowd of spectators, Americans being well represented".
Guisborough won 7-5 thanks to Dean, their "great Texas pitcher".
"For the most part," said the Echo, "the Driffield men found his great speed and deadly swerve almost unplayable."
There is no record of baseball ever being played at Feethams again.

Every year, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) releases a list of the "greenest" and "meanest" vehicles available in the US. There hasn't been too much movement at the top, though. For 7 of the past 8 years, the Honda Civic CNG (which stands for compressed natural gas) dominated the list, and last year it was tied with the Nissan LEAF electric car. But this year, things are different. There's some new blood on the list, and the Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric car (aka the electric jellybean) takes the top spot with a total score of 58 (versus 55 for the LEAF and Civic CNG), the highest score awarded yet!
Above is this year's list. If you are curious about the opposite list – the worst ranked, meanest cars – you can see that list here.
With a combined city and highway fuel economy of 112 miles per gallon equivalent, the i-MIEV outpaces all other vehicles currently sold in United States. "Even taking into account the emissions generated from the electricity used to power the i-MIEV, it still handily outscores other vehicles on the market today," said ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan. [...]
"It's increasingly obvious that automakers are fully invested in providing consumers with the widest possible array of vehicle choices. Earning a spot on the "Greenest" list is proving to be a real challenge for automakers given the variety of vehicle technologies on the market and the proliferation of highly efficient conventional vehicles. Just using the latest technology does not guarantee a top spot," said Vaidyanathan.
It's good to see more commercially available electric cars in the US – just a dream a few years ago – but CNG vehicles are still extremely rare. On one hand, natural gas is a fossil fuel that adds CO2 to the atmosphere and there are many potential problems with fracking, but on the other, it produces less CO2 and smog-forming emissions than gasoline, so it could be an interesting transition fuel until we have more mass transit, bike lanes, and electric vehicles charged from a clean power grid.

Why Aren't You Blogging?
Two surprising reasons that are probably stopping you from starting your blog
Have you ever wondered what stops you from blogging about your business or practice?
I reckon there are two big reasons that stop many of us, including myself.
The first is lack of information. We don't know how to do it properly. This is surprising because we can now get information on almost anything, including how to blog, from Dr Google.
The second reason is more personal: writing a blog post exposes our vulnerability and this is just too painful. Method and motivation are both missing.
You CAN have a successful business blog
This blog post addresses the first of these reasons, lack of information, you don't know HOW to blog, hoping to convince you CAN blog. With a moderate amount of application and practice, you can overcome the hurdle of not knowing how to do it and blog successfully. You can use blogging to attract more people to yourself and what you uniquely offer.
And even if you think you know how to blog, you might learn something that adjusts your thinking just a little. I did.
Until recently, I thought I knew roughly how to blog - keep writing posts and send them to your list; add in some personal stuff where appropriate; include an offer and your contact details including a sign up for your newsletter.
Then a friend sent me a copy of An Introduction to Business Blogging: How to Use Business Blogging for Marketing Success by Magdalena Georgieva, published by HubsSpot.com. Reading this, I realised that my understanding of blogging was, indeed, rough!
Introduction to Business Blogging is written at the introductory level, meaning that it contains step by step instructions on the basics. A good place to start!
People come in different varieties and so do blogs
Did you know that with blogging, one size doesn't fit all? On reading this ebook, I realised that I was very hazy on the different kinds of blogs, for example, media blogs and personal blogs.
A business blog, unlike a blog written to promote a hobby, must have a business goal - making money. Making money typically starts with generating qualified leads; in other words, finding people who need and want and are prepared to pay for what you have to offer. One way of attracting these people is to blog about topics related to your business.
Your business goals set the framework for what matters about your blog
The business goals you set determine how you will measure your success in reaching these goals. For example, if your aim is to generate qualified new leads - a central business goal - then the number of times one person clicks on your site makes little difference to achieving that goal because that person is only going to account for one lead.
Some vital statistics
How a business blog can support your business
A business blog can expand your visibility on the web, enable you to influence your industry and increase your number of new leads. But it must be done properly! You need to find the right content for your audience, you need to optimise your blog, promote it and measure its success. Georgieva gives pointers on all of these including four blogging best practices:
Blogging best practices
Start Now!
You may already be blogging. Keep going.
If you have never written a blog post, I hope that this post has inspired you to start. Find the resources you need to create a business blog that helps you grow your business.
In my experience, blogging can be fun and satisfying. Writing my blog has provided me with an outlet to talk about many of the things I am most interested in and passionate about.
What will you blog about? What do your prospective readers want to know about? What is the potential of the kinds of products and services you offer to transform these readers' lives?
Whatever you choose, start now. Go to www.hubspot.com now and download some of their free resources. Write your first post. Choose a question that your customers often ask and answer it. It won't be your best post but it will be your best post yet! Just do it!
Once you have written your first post, tell me what was the hardest thing about it and your biggest reward?

Raccoons can wreak havoc on your harvest, especially when you're trying to grow sweet corn (Zea mays), which in addition to other plant and animal matter, can be part of their diet. Hardy to U.S. Department of Agriculture planting zones 4 through 8, sweet corn is favored by these masked bandits during its ripening stage. To avoid a disappointing harvest, there are various things you can do to keep raccoons out of your garden.
Fence Them Out
Although a 3-foot-tall chicken-wire fence may keep other unwanted garden critters out, raccoons are good climbers and won't let that stop them from getting to your sweet corn. That is, unless you top your fence with electrical wire. An effective alternative is a two-wire electric fence placed around your garden. Suspend the first wire about 5 inches above the ground around the perimeter of your garden and the second wire about 10 inches above the ground.
Scare Them Off
Various scare tactics can make raccoons think twice about going near your corn. Placing a portable radio outside and keeping it on all night may work. You can also try lighting up your garden with lanterns so these nighttime scavengers stay away. Other scare tactics include motion-activated water sprayers, scarecrows, and streamers and pinwheels. Always have a backup plan, such as a fence, when using theses scare tactics because they may lose their effectiveness after a few days, when the critters notice they're harmless.
Interplant Other Plants
Interplanting other plants between your sweet corn can make it less attractive to raccoons. Pumpkins (Cucurbita spp.), which thrive in gardens within USDA plant hardiness zones 3 through 9, and pole beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), which thrive within USDA plant hardiness zones 3 through 10, develop foliage and vines that raccoons dislike. The bean foliage blocks the raccoon's sight, and the pumpkin vines are uncomfortable to walk on. You can also try growing tall corn varieties, such as "Kandy Korn" or "Silver Queen," which makes it harder for raccoons to get to the ears.
Try Home Remedies
Although setting humane traps and relocating raccoons can be an option, it's not recommended because these critters are known to carry internal parasites and diseases, and you would just be making the raccoon a problem for someone else. Also, the animal may not be able to survive in his new surroundings. Other remedies you can try include spreading dog hair, blood meal or wood ashes around the perimeter of your garden, or better yet, allow your dog to roam the yard. Sprinkling a homemade mixture of equal amounts of chili powder and garlic around your garden may also work.

It is not winter yet, officially. But here in Edinburgh, it certainly feels like it.
When I think about it, I have not done winter running before. When I started running again in 2012, I conveniently stopped in September, tried to start again in January (and thought, that's cold, let's wait a while) and really got going again when Spring was in the air.
Perhaps because of my inexperience (or it may just be stupidity) I am struggling with the right gear selection for running, and am oscillating between two patterns:
It is cold outside. But I am thinking I will warm up in no time and I don't want to look silly running in a parka. So, in hi-vis T-shirt and shorts, I start by standing around freezing to death while the Gamin looks for satellites (why does this take longer in winter?). When the Gamin deigns to say go, I start running like a frightened hare, desperate to get the blood circulating. My limbs feel cold, but after a mile or two they warm up, and I congratulate myself on making the right choice. Then the sun goes out, I am 6 miles from home, and all of a sudden the path is frosty. Soon after, my hands feel like ice blocks. I jiggle them around like a wannabe Kermit the Frog impersonator, but my blood is having none of it. I arrive home freezing, and fall into a red hot shower for half an hour to absorb some heat.
It is cold outside. I remember the last run when I was freezing out there. I am not going to let that happen again. So on go all the clothes. Base layer, T-shirt, sweatshirt, tights (yes, tights), long shorts, warm socks, buff, gloves, hat, balaclava (OK, I exaggerate, no balaclava… yet). I smile with impunity as the Gamin searches for its connection (take as looooong as you like, my friend). I start running gently, with a negative training split in mind. Before long I am sweating like a suckling pig, carrying gloves and hat, and trying to work out how to disengage from the buff without removing my headphones. I arrive home looking like a red-nosed reindeer and drink a gallon of water to compensate for my lost sweat.
… and back to Pattern 1.
It seems obvious; I need to be brave and go for something in between. But the voice in my head says black or white, and no compromises.
I have no idea what I am going to do when we get to the real winter. Hibernate, maybe.

Duffin Draft is a cheap, fast and fun variant of regular drafting in VTES. The rules were invented by Joshua Duffin (hence the name). Beside the usual VtES, there are a couple of additional rules in effect:
A. Drafting
- Each player provides 1 eleven card booster.
- Normal booster draft follows, i.e. take 1 pass left.
- Repeat until out of cards.
- You must play with all of the cards you draft.
- If you fail to draft any vampires, you will be ousted quickly.
B. Changes in play
- Each player has 12 pool.
- If a player is below hand size and has an empty library, he may use a discard phase action to reshuffle his ashheap into his library (draw up to hand size).
- A player gets 4 pool for ousting his prey.
- Each player has unlimited transfers in his influence phase.
Addendum: Double Duffin Draft
- This is small extension to the "single" Duffin Draft rules. Each player provides two boosters; the first pass is to the left, the second to the right.

One Response to "Site Updates"
Mike Rambow says:
Great to hear from you! Deb is enjoying her retirement, she is a great gardener. Money is tight, and the projects just keep coming, but I think/hope we are making progress. The rain keeps coming, thankfully, but the driveway, just past the house, is a mud bog and not passable to the back of the property. I have a vehicle that I want to fix and sell so I can repair the driveway, but it's at the far end of the property. Inaccessible until the mud dries up. The greenhouse is really going well this season. Lettuce, basil, cucumbers, brussels, and heirloom tomatoes. I hope all is well with you and the critters. We were concerned that no "Farm Wars" emails had come for some time, but again, great to hear from you. Are you still driving the school bus? Talk soon, Mike and Deb.

Doctrines and Implications in Milton's Theology: A Study of Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained and De doct rina Christiana
Buntaine, Norman
MetadataShow full item record
I have attempted research into representative technical studies which comment upon Milton's idea, line, and word sources and particular word connotations; and have attempted to avoid any and all evaluative statements regarding specific interpretation either of Milton's supposed raison d'etre or of any theoretical intentions Milton may have had in mind as he wrote. If any evaluative judgment was relevant in interpreting written passages, I have taken pains to acquire various other interpretations of the same, and to incorporate, to assimilate these within each other when possible, given the thesis of Milton himself as the only broad outline within which I have had to work.

According to a report in Financial Tribune's sister newspaper Donya-e Eqtesad economic daily, from among the 13 products in the mineral production sector selected for analysis, eight of them registered growth. Notably, crude steel and steel products, sheet glass, porcelain sanitary fixtures, and tile and ceramic had the highest rise in production.
A year-on-year 38% and 35% growth in the production of crude steel (4.18 million tons) and sheet glass (133,900 tons) were also registered respectively.
Some 12,500 tons of porcelain sanitary fixtures were produced during the two months, 33% up year-on-year.
Production of steel products stood at 3.47 million tons, rising 28% YOY.
The tile and ceramic sector expanded 24%, with 35.96 million square meters having been produced over the period.
Production of glass containers, copper cathode, cement, aluminum bars and coal concentrate declined by 20.4%, 9.1%, 5.7%, 4.9% and 3% respectively.
In the industrial sector, bus and minibus production had the highest growth as 278 vehicles were produced during the two months, up by 79% YOY. It was followed by combine harvesters with 101 vehicles, up 66% YOY; tractor (2,149 units) and industrial soot (17,400 tons), up 29.5% and 22% respectively YOY; and washing machines (94,400 units), up 20% YOY.
A total of 7,700 pickup trucks were produced, which registered a 34% decline YOY.
According to the report, the removal of international sanctions against Iran over its nuclear energy program was the main reason behind growth in this category.
Refined industrial motor oil had the biggest drop in production among the 30 selected products in this category. Some 30,500 tons of motor oil were produced, down 51% YOY.

Canberra United's Jessie Rasschaert raring for W-League redemption on return
Jessie Rasschaert's eyes watered as she carried her two-year-old son Tristan out to the roar of McKellar Park moments before making her W-League debut.
Few could imagine making their professional debut as a 32-year-old with a toddler in tow but the Canberra United defender says she's just hitting her peak.
Rasschaert kicked off her W-League career to a dream start with a 2-0 win over Perth Glory, but it was the sight of her son waiting for her at the end of the tunnel which brought tears to her eyes.
"It hit home how special this whole experience is," Rasschaert said.
"It was really nice to have him out there with me and realising what an achievement it is to have a two-year-old son, hit the peak in my career and play W-League was just unreal. I don't really have the words for it."
But Rasschaert's debut was marred with a foot injury which has kept her out of action for two weeks.
She managed to play 80 minutes in their round-two loss against Melbourne City but the pain in her heel worsened after the match.
Rasschaert, who is also a physiotherapist, is now set to make her comeback and play her first away fixture when Canberra face the winless Glory at Dorrien Gardens on Friday night.
"It's still sore but it's heaps better than it was. It helps being a physiotherapist because I can self-diagnose and treat myself, which made it a speedy recovery, " Rasschaert said.
"I think playing against a team we've already faced will really help and work in my favor. It's more familiar so confidence comes with it as well because it's not a team I don't know well.
"[Perth] will be tough. It's their homeground and they're going to come out all guns blazing. It could be anyone's game but we're a close knit group and I think we'll come out with a win."
Canberra have won two of their first four matches while Perth sit at the bottom of the table with three losses.
The dungeon dwellers will be eager to turn their season around with the inclusion of Spanish international Celia Jiménez Delgado, Mexican defender Ari Romero, as well as American imports Crystal Thomas and Morgan Andrews.
Rasschaert will test herself against Jiménez Delgado at right-back but will be motivated by the chance to seek her own redemption story come Friday night.
The United defender admits she suffered a loss in confidence after giving away the penalty which led to their heartbreaking loss to City extra-time.
"My confidence took a bit of a hit after the City match because taking a penalty in the box during a W-League game is not what anyone wants to do ever," Rasschaert said. "I was really devastated and to have lost the game as well, it really weighed heavily on me for a while.
"It probably affected me a little bit at training as well in getting my confidence back but the girls are really supportive. They don't hold that over me at all, they don't blame me. It was a team effort and we were really unlucky to have lost the game.
"My confidence is back going into this game against Perth. I'm excited to go."

You can't accuse NASCAR of "phantom debris" on this one. On lap 62 of the Pennsylvania 500 part of the caution light at the start/finish line fell onto the track. Leader Denny Hamlin (where was his spotter?) ran over the debris, but it did not appear to damage his car. The "lights-out" moment (below) was just one of the close calls and crashes on the track Monday.
