Houston handles Hawks; Yao dominates with 28February 9th, 2008
by John
Coming into Houston on Saturday, the Atlanta Hawks were on the second night of a back-to-back (losing at home to Cleveland the night before), and had lost 9 of their last 10 road games. But the Rockets showed no sympathy by playing one of their most complete games of the season, drilling the Hawks 108-89 to win their 6th game in a row and go 30-20 for the season. After the Rockets were a mediocre 13-15 just 7 weeks ago, it's getting really interesting in Houston these days.
The Rockets had 29 assists against Cleveland on Thursday, and Saturday night they racked up a season-high 32 dimes while scoring 44 field goals and shooting 54.3% from the field. They shared the ball so well and had guys cutting to the basket for easy shot attempts, it reminded me a lot of the Sacramento Kings during their heyday under Rick Adelman. Or dare I say it, the Spurs during their championship runs.
It's very rare when a team achieves that level of chemistry where the Rockets get as many assists as they've had the past two games. I remember back in 1994 and 1995 when the Rockets won their championships, a lot of it was the result of unselfish basketball like what we're seeing now. It's still early yet, but if the Rockets keep this up, it going to start getting really fun in H-town.
While everyone was passing the ball, Yao Ming was being his dominant self by scoring 28 points on 12-of-17 shooting (10 in a row at one point), 4-of-4 from the line, and blocking 2 shots. He also had 3 assists to join the passing party.
The Hawks had no answer to the Big Man, either down low where he scored multiple times with left-handed jump hooks off the glass (he seems to really have perfected that shot). And they could only watch in awe as he hit two long jumpers from the top of the key to finally break his shooting slump from out there.
And did you see that play where Yao got the ball behind the 3-point line, then dribbled it a couple of times toward the basket taking giants steps to get all the way to the basket for a layup attempt? Although he missed the shot, it showed yet another move in his arsenal that has to keep opposing defenses guessing.
Tracy McGrady played a smart game by not jacking up too many ill-advised shots (just 14 field goal attempts, making 5 of them), and instead looked more to pass. McGrady had a team-high 8 assists while scoring 15 points. When McGrady plays like this by emphasizing passing more than jacking up long-range bombs, the Rockets are clearly a better team with him than without. I'll take the assists more than his points any day.
The Rockets led by 30+ in the 3rd quarter and cruised the rest of the way. My only complaint was when they had Yao in the game in the fourth quarter with a 31-point lead. Way too risky, and Yao needs as much rest when he can get it. But after he hit his second long jumper from the top of the key near the beginning of the 4th quarter, Adelman got him out of there.
It helps a lot that the Rockets got off to a hot start again, thanks to Luis Scola being in the starting lineup and scoring 8 points in the first quarter on 4-of-5 shooting and grabbing 6 boards. Scola's offensive punch helped the Rockets build a 14-point lead in the opening quarter. Scola would go on to make 3-of-3 shots the rest of the way to finish with 14 points and 9 rebounds.
The recipient of several passes from McGrady, Bonzi Wells played a solid game by scoring most of his 11 points in the paint on 3-of-4 shooting and dishing a season-high 6 assists. And get this: He made 5-of-6 free throws after only making 1-of-5 on Thursday night against Cleveland. If he continues to do that, he will become an even more important part of this team.
Because the game was such a blowout, Aaron Brooks got 20 minutes of playing time and scored 7 points by hitting 3-of-7 shots, including a 3-pointer to hopefully give him confidence in the area where he has struggled recently.
Also hitting 3-of-7 shots was power forward Carl Landry, scoring 6 points and getting 19 minutes of playing time.
Because there was so much garbage time, Steve Novak played the entire fourth quarter and looked good hitting 4-of-6 shots to score 9 points.
Not to be overshadowed was the Rockets defense, holding Atlanta to just 37.2% shooting overall (28% by halftime), one of their worst shooting nights of the season, and held them to just 10 points in the second quarter. Houston also had 4 steals and 6 blocks in the game.
While Houston continues to roll and win games convincingly, the teams they are battling against in their same vicinity (8th playoff spot) are struggling somewhat. Golden State has been playing poorly at home recently. They lost at home Thursday night against a mediocre Chicago Bulls team, and played poorly at home Saturday night against Sacramento barely winning by 3 points. Also, they barely beat the Knicks at home on January 27th, the Nets on January 24th, and lost to Minnesota on January 21st. So that's all good for Houston.
Meanwhile, Portland (the Rockets' next opponent on Monday night) lost to a mediocre Indiana team on the road Saturday night, and they come into Houston 2 games behind the Rockets. A win on Monday night for the Rockets would be huge for Houston, giving them a 3-game lead over the Blazers.
Looking above themselves in the standings, the Rockets are only 3 games behind San Antonio for the 5th playoff seed. It's just amazing how tight things are in the West. It's still too difficult to predict who will get the top 4 seeds in the West, which will determine who the Rockets will play if they end up making the playoffs.
If I had to choose, I would want Houston to play Dallas or New Orleans since the Rockets have a fairly decent history against those teams. I wouldn't want Phoenix, not because of the Shaq factor, but because of their run-and-gun style is still so hard to defend. Neither would I want Utah or San Antonio, for obvious historical reasons. The Lakers also scare me because of all the weapons they now have on that team. So to me, Dallas and New Orleans are the lesser of all evils.

Lime Sulfur and Anthracnose
March 30, 2017
Anthracnose is a disease that I have seen mostly in new plantings of Cold-hardy cultivars in New York. I happen to think that the conditions for it to spread and take hold (warm, humid springs) are more common farther south than here in NY, but it has appeared in several vineyards here in NY.
The fact is that in vineyards with a history of Anthracnose, dormant lime-sulfur sprays are one of the principal ways of controlling it.
So I want to share with you Mike White's article on Anthracnose. Here is the link: Wine Grower News #356 3-30-17-2e3o64u.
Lime-Sulfur is a very corrosive material (for painted surfaces), but very effective on dormant vines with existing Anthracnose. Note that if you do not have a history of Anthracnose, you probably don't need to do this.
Ohio State has a nice Anthracnose Factsheet. We don't have one in our Cornell IPM factsheets, because it has been very rare in commercial vineyards here in NY.

TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Report
A few days after winning MLS Cup, Atlanta United's Miguel Almiron appears to be on the move.
According to Bruno Pont of ABC Cardinal 730 AM earlier this week, Almiron will soon be a Newcastle United player after both clubs and player reached an agreement. Pont said Almiron will be a Newcastle player in a "few hours".
Miguel Almirón firmará en las próximas horas con el Newcastle de Inglaterra,ya hay un acuerdo de todas las partes.— Bruno Pont (@BrunoPont) December 12, 2018
Walter Estigarribia adds that Almiron will be the most expensive player in Paraguayan history. The current record is £17.5 million, which Manchester City paid for striker Roque Santa Cruz in 2009.
Miguel Almirón está a nada de ser el fubolista más caro en toda la historia del fútbol paraguayo. Jugará en la Premier League y fué un pedido exclusivo de Rafa Benitez, entrenador del Newcastle United. pic.twitter.com/2qzj9Guajn— Walter Estigarribia (@EstigarribiaPy) December 12, 2018
Almiron, 24, tallied 12 goals and 14 assists in 31 games this season and overcame a hamstring injury to return in time for the Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs, where he helped lead his club to an MLS Cup triumph.
Atlanta United president Darren Eales said the club haven't received any concrete offers on Sky Sports on Wednesday morning.
Darren Eales confirms Atlanta United have not received any offers for Miguel Almiron yet. Eales: "Unless it is something that is a really serious offer, we will not consider it. The offer has to start with a 3 for me to consider it." #MLS #ATLUTD #NUFC— Joe Prince-Wright (@JPW_NBCSports) December 12, 2018
Eales joined ExtraTime Radio on Wednesday morning and again disputed the reports.
"It definitely isn't done. There's nothing done yet," Eales told Andrew Wiebe. Before confirming that no deal is in place, Eales explained the situation the club is in regarding Almiron.
"It'll be interesting...Miggy is under contract for another three years. We've got an owner who likes winning and has had a taste of success. We know that we don't have to sell the player but clearly the way that we've built the club, the way that we've brought the young players in, if the right offer comes in [selling him] is something we'd consider."
Be sure to catch the full interview on ExtraTime Radio, which includes news regarding a new Josef Martinez contract and an update on the coaching search. Subscribe here.
Almiron has been a rumored target for Arsenal, West Ham and Tottenham in recent months. Newcastle have been the most heavily rumored of late.
Almiron's replacement may already be lined up as River Plate star "Pity" Martinez revealed after winning the Copa Libertadores that he would be moving to Atlanta.

BIM and Fire Protection Engineering
Building information modeling (BIM) has been used in various forms throughout the fire protection industry. However, most of the BIM work has been focused on stand-alone models that have historically been proprietary to the contractors that developed them. Specifically, fire sprinkler and fire alarm contractors have been using 2-D and 3-D models of their respective systems, but that has historically been the limit. As BIM technology improves and moves outward from structural and architectural models, the fire protection industry as a whole reaps the benefits because fire protection engineering encompasses not just active and passive suppression systems, but the overall life safety of buildings and the occupants. If the model is being constructed for all systems, life safety integration can be better applied throughout.Read more at CSE Magazine

Two Rockfishermen rescued, one missing
PT News Service At 12:28 pm 0 Comment Print
Two men have had a lucky escape after they were washed into the sea while rockfishing at Seal Rocks on the NSW Lower North Coast. A search continues for a third person still missing.
The group of five anglers was rockfishing when three of them were swept into the water. One man was rescued by a volunteer surf lifesaver from Pacific Palms Surf Life Saving Club using a jetski, while the second man was winched to safety by the Hunter Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
The search continues by Surf Life Saving callout volunteers, along with Water Police and Marine Rescue NSW. It appears the men were not wearing lifejackets.
Surf Life Saving NSW Lifesaving Manager Andy Kent says this could be yet another rockfishing tragedy, after a spate of incidents over the last few weeks.
"Two people are lucky to be alive thanks to our emergency callout volunteers and our efforts are now focused on finding the missing man," said Andy Kent.
Hazardous surf conditions are present across much of the NSW coast and Surf Life Saving NSW urges people to follow basic safety precautions at all times while rockfishing.
These include:
- Always wear a lifejacket and non-slip footwear
- Check tides, swell and weather conditions
- Fish with a friend – never fish alone
- Carry a mobile phone
- Never turn your back to the sea
- Always spend time watching the conditions before fishing, and constantly scan for changing conditions
- If in doubt, don't go out!

The Los Angeles Dodgers cannot afford to lose to the Red Sox tonight. Only one team has ever come back from down 3-0 in the history of baseball, so we know how important this game is. The Dodgers were holding on to a one-run lead thanks to some heroics from Joc Pederson but you know they want some insurance. Apparently that message didn't get across, as Manny Machado decided to showboat a home run which turned into a long single.
How can you let that happen on this stage? It's inexcusable.
Machado has had some big moments in this series but this one is pretty awful. It doesn't matter how hard you thought you hit the ball, run to first base like it means something! It's the damn World Series!
In World Series, in 1-0 game, w his team down 2 games, Manny Machado jogs to 1st, admiring his "home run" that hits the base of the LF wall. He finally gets to first as throw comes into 2d. Too bad.— Thomas Boswell (@ThomasBoswellWP) October 27, 2018
The play didn't really matter as Machado never had a real chance to score, but it just shows his mind isn't in the right spot.

Vnitroblock in Prague 7 (Holesovice district) is one of the hipster places in the Czech capital worth visiting. What you can see, buy and taste in there? How to find the place and when to come? All this information you will find in the article below, plus I will give you my review of the place.
It is complicated to name this place with one word, because the space is multifunctional and unites the people of various interests. Visitors come there to buy design and handmade clothes, accessories and souvenirs, to drink coffee, to eat, to meet with friends and to attend work-shops or dancing classes.
Any proper hipster place in Prague should have good coffee. Vnitroblock follows this rule and offers big variety of various coffee drinks. At your disposal are also lemonades, tea, cocktails. For hungry visitors there is a tasty menu with breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is healthy, cooked with passion. My choice is:
- tonic espresso;
- caj latte;
- home made lemonades;
- pastry.
From November 2017 they also serve tasty burgers made in a real school bus, which is parked outside. Visitors can either order food directly from waiters or get through the glass doors into the yard and find the yellow bus.
- Prices for food and beverages in Vnitroblock are reasonable.
Design shop — SIGNATURE store
As I mentioned above, the space in this loft has several zone. In fact Signature store occupies the biggest zone and offers design clothes and accessories. All the goods you can purchase in Vnitroblock are chosen buy the crew from numerous designers. There are clothes for men, women and kids. I personally like a huge choice of stone and glass interior accessories. If you are looking for a special and unique present to bring back from Prague, this is the very place to search for it.
Since this space is made with passion for art and creativity, you will see a lot of picture and photos hanging on the walls of the loft. Exhibitions and art projects take place almost every week, that is why the images change. If you are an artist and travel to Prague, Vnitroblock may be your exhibition variant.
Dancing studio, lecture space, studio
- On the first floor you will find the dancing studio. Qualified trainers teach various styles of dancing. Class are available for anyone: kids, grown-ups, beginners and professionals. In a friendly atmosphere you are sure to master anything!
- There is also quite a comfortable space for lectures and meetings. So if you are looking for a place, where to hold you master-class or educational course, consider it and contact the manager of the space.
- Professional video studio is another project within Vnitblock. Together with professional crew one can film interview, blog or even make a live broadcast.
And I think, that soon new features and opportunities will make the place even more productive and interesting.
Vnitroblock Review
I am glad that in Prague 7 appeared another very local and friendly place as Vnitroblock. In fact it breaks all the stereotypes about Prague being interesting only in the city centre: Old Town Square, Charles Bridge or John Lennon Wall. Finally there is another amazing venue to include into "The other Czechia" bucket list. I do hope, that you will have a chance to visit the place and have good time there.

Are you looking for a bit of high end glamour on your wrist? Look no more because you definitely found the watches you want and deserve; here are some of the most spectaculars glamour watches that will come with decent prices.
The Montre Acier Silver Watch from Balenciaga is definitely the unique touch you deserved for your outfit. With its beautiful silver tone the watch comes in a water resistant mesh with quartz movement. It has a 35 mm band width with a buckle closure. You can get this Swiss watch for about 2000 dollars.
If you are looking for something simpler and more elegant that still looks glamour the Givenchy in Six Roll Calf Strap Watch is definitely your choice to go. You might not get it from stores though as it has probably been sold out in most of them but if you really want it you can definitely find some private sellers online. It was sold for about 900 dollars but nowadays you will probably get it for a lot more, at least a few thousand.
Another cool glamour watch is the beautiful Swarovski Octea Sport Ceramic Watch in a beautiful white color. The watch has about 40 mm diameter with a ceramic turn dial with stainless steel casing. It also has phosphorescent hands and the movement is Swiss made, bringing you quality and beautiful design in the same product. It features silicon straps with Baguette cut ceramic inserts and you can buy it for about 1200 dollars, if you still find it available.
Women's Biarritz Watch in black by Lacoste is not that expensive as it costs about 355 dollars but it's definitely a glamour watch. The great thing about it is the fact that it manages to be simple but still stand out somehow. It comes with a black silicone strap and a black 3 hand dial in a ceramic case that measures 38 mm. It has quartz movement, it's water resistant for 3 ATM (99 ft), and has a 2 year warranty. This is probably the most affordable watch from all of the watches from the list and it's also something that you can wear every day.

I had the opportunity to experience recovery from a TKA through the eyes of a close family member, who I, as a joint replacement surgeon was the primary caregiver. This experience gave me a new appreciation of what our patients experience in the weeks after TKR. I will break this up into segments: pre-op, day of surgery and the first day of recovery, day 2- day 6, weeks 2-6, and 2 recovery perspectives.
Caregiver Perspective:
As a joint replacement surgeon, it was very enlightening to be the primary caregiver for a family member undergoing knee replacement surgery. What were the key takeaways from my perspective?
First, the patient must try non-operative treatment as, for mild to moderate arthritis, this is often very successful. As the arthritis advances to the point where the knee has end-stage arthritis, i.e. bone on bone changes, operative intervention is a consideration. Additionally, getting in as good of shape as possible makes your recovery easier.
Second, picking a high volume joint replacement surgeon to whom you can relate well can optimize your outcome.
Third, lining up full time help the first 4 to 7 days is really important. Patients often say, "My family/kids/friends are too busy to help." Well, as a surgeon, I'm really busy too but I took a week off work to make this recovery as smooth as possible.
Fourth, being well-informed with what will take place in surgery and beyond is important. DUring recovery, using an ice machine or gel packs is extremely helpfu,l as is elevating the leg (as shown in an earlier blog). Reassuring the patient during downtimes the first week can make the recovery more tolerable. The pain is significant but with the modalities outlined, plus the medication, it's tolerable and it gets better each week.
If you have significant arthritis before surgery then the pain after surgery seems less intense as compared to before you had your surgery.
The Patient's Perspective:
By the time I made the decision to have a total knee replacement, I was more than ready. My world had shrunk significantly. By this I mean I no longer was able to do much of what brought me pleasure on a daily basis. Even the mundane chores of life had become difficult to keep up with.
Knowing that my surgery was scheduled, I used the two months prior to surgery getting myself into the best shape I could, given my limitations. Immediately after surgery, there was pain, however with the proper use of all of the medicines I was instructed to take it was manageable. I was amazed that it was even possible to get up and walk immediately post -surgery. The icing of the knee immediately after surgery was crucial.
My family was a key component to the next phase of my recovery. As a patient, you are very limited with what you can do, so you have to rely on those around you for help. Getting to and from the bathroom was a significant burden in the beginning and help was needed. A walker is a must to get you up and walking as much as possible. To alleviate the swelling and achiness, an ice machine was my best friend. You are far more tired than usual, so resting with your leg elevated and using the ice machine were key.
I found it both challenging and painful to do the exercises required about 5 times a day, but the gains I noticed kept me going. Physical therapy is a strongly suggested component and I found it very helpful. You are ready to get out and get moving and the therapist's knowledge of moving you through this process was comforting.
I kept up the multi-modal pain management from the start and was able to function by week three without the use of narcotics. My husband would remind me as I was stretching and wincing that it was only pain and I was not going to hurt my new knee! I moved rather quickly from the walker to a cane for stability. I found shortly thereafter, that relying on the cane caused me to limp and I had gained enough confidence in my knee and my strength to be on my own.
During these next few weeks, the sharp pain was no longer a factor, just more of dull achiness which then gave way to a feeling of tightness across my knee. The more stretching and prescribed exercises I did, the less apparent the tightening became.
I can't stress enough how important it is to stay diligent with your exercise, icing and elevating, if you want to achieve the goals set by your doctor for your range of motion. I found that the longer I walked each week, the better my knee and my spirits felt, as exercise does wonders for your healing and your endorphins. I am now just over 6 weeks post op and couldn't be happier with my decision to have had total knee replacement. My quality of life has improved so much in these short few weeks that I have a bright future. I thank my surgeon and the caregivers involved and my family for their role in my recovery. It takes a village!

Politicians from the three leading parties have rallied around the UK Black Pride festival which takes place on Saturday 18 August at the Ministry of Sound, London, despite the news that the organisation has missed out on a Prime Minister's Big Society Award for volunteering.
UK Black Pride's Director for Public Affairs, Pav Akhtar, said:
"We congratulate the winners of this year's Big Society Awards and are honoured that the hard work of our grassroots LGBT volunteers to deliver year-round, community-led services was recognised with a nomination.
"In our seventh year it is clear that there remains a lot of political and public good will for us to continue delivering the best support we can to Black LGBT people. We look forward to celebrating with our community at UK Black Pride 2012."
In a message to the UK Black Pride Festival guests, Rt Hon Ed Miliband, Leader of the Labour Party, said:
"I want to convey my best to everyone taking part in this year's Black Pride celebration.
"I am proud to lead a party that has consistently fought for equality. Together we have made great progress…UK Black Pride continues to grow and promote the values of equality and fairness, values that we share in common…I look forward to seeing Black Pride go from strength to strength…Together we can build a more equal and just society."
The Government's Minister for Equality, Lynne Featherstone MP, from the Liberal Democrats Party, said: "UK Black Pride is a great celebration of the UK's vibrant lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
"Britain is now recognised as the best place in Europe for LGB&T rights, and the Pride events that take place across this country to celebrate the LGB&T community help show why this is the case."
Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, from the Conservative Party, said: "The annual Black Pride Festival [is] an important event in the Pride calendar of activities.
He added:
"London is a great world city and its strength continues to be its dynamism and the diversity of its population. It is important…people have the space to celebrate their identities and promote their cultures. The…popularity of Black Pride speaks for itself. This event succeeds in providing greater visibility to many Black LGBT people who are less visible at other LGBT events."
Another message of solidarity came from the International Federation of Black Pride's President, Earl Fowlkes, who said:
"We're proud of our affiliation with UK Black Pride and fully support Phyll Opoku-Gyimah's UK Black Pride team as they roll out yet another fantastic event for Britain's Black LGBT community."

This Sunday: What We Talk About When We Talk About Love
Hello, Friends!
This Sunday, we're continuing to take a look at Paul's letters to the early church in Corinth. Building on Paul's encouragements to that church (and to us!) about our gifts and giftedness, 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 finds us considering one the most famous passages in Scripture. "Love is patient, love is kind…." But love is also work. Paul shares keen insights on how God empowers and equips us for the work of the love in the world.
Over the past few days, I've been looking at the different images Paul uses to try to get at what he means. He talks about seeing through a glass darkly, and then seeing face-to-face. He talks about being a clanging cymbal and a noisy gong, and about maturing in the love of God and in the sharing of that love.
I've been sharing some of these images on Facebook with brief reflections, and I wanted to post them here as well.
"For now I see as through a glass, darkly; then I shall know fully, even as I will be fully known." (from Paul's letter to the early church in Corinth).
We don't always see the big picture. The apostle Paul says that sometimes it's as if we see through a glass, darkly, but that when perfection comes (when we're united with God in the fullness of God's presence), we'll see things fully. Another way of putting it is that sometimes, we see dim reflections but that in God's presence, we'll see clearly and face to face.
In the meantime, the ethic of our lives as followers of Jesus should be defined by an ever-maturing love for those around us. This video brings images of sight and light and even of the process of being made more complete in the midst of the refining fires of life. As the craftsman does his work, the darkness fades and clarity emerges. One day, we'll break the glass entirely and celebrate with one another in the presence of our Maker.
Join us this Sunday as we take a closer look at the images Paul uses in his letter to the early church in Corinth, and what they mean for us today.
Whoever you are and wherever you are on life's journey, you are welcome here!
Founded almost 400 years ago, Zildjian makes some of the most famous cymbals in the world. Known for their unique alloy and sound, they were invented by accident (it turns out you can't turn base metals into gold!). As renowned as they are, they're not much good when they're broken. Scripture says that without love, even if we can "speak in the tongues of men and of angels," our words are like the sounds of clanging symbols. That's just one of the evocative images St. Paul uses to describe the importance of approaching all we do with the love of God in our hearts and on our lips. This Sunday, we'll look together at one of the most famous passages in Christian scripture and explore the meaning of God's wondrous love. Be a part of it!
"When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I grew up, I put the ways of childhood behind me."
I have a confession to make, and maybe you're in the same boat. I still really enjoy many of the things I liked as a kid. I still like Star Wars. I still love the Phillies. I still go see superhero movies. If the numbers in the sports and entertainment industries are any indication, I'm not alone.
When the apostle Paul talks about putting the ways of childhood behind us, I don't think he's talking about flipping a switch and saying "it's NPR from here on out." Honestly, Paul probably wouldn't know what to make of our material culture and our pop culture fandoms. But I also believe that Paul's message is timeless. I think he's saying that as we grow up, we need to put *childishness* behind us.
So what does that mean? I think one of the things it means is that we're not to think of our walk with Jesus as the latest new fad, the latest must-have toy or app or accessory. Remember fidget spinners? They were all the rage a few years ago. Not so much any more.
Here's the interesting thing. Nothing about fidget spinners changed. They still do what they always did. They're still mesmerizing. (That's not just me, right?) So what happened? The toy didn't change, tastes did. Something newer, bigger, and brighter came along. And then something else and then something else.
Kids get a bad rap for having short attention spans, but if we're being honest, we know that's a very human trait. Kids get a bad rap for being fickle, but adults are just as bad. Paul's message here is a good reminder that the things we enjoy, even things with obvious merit (fidget spinners do teach us a few things about physics, after all, and have been known to help with nervous energy, anxiety, and stress), don't bring us lasting joy.
Part of growing up, Paul is saying, is realizing that lasting joy is a conscious decision. It comes from finding our identity beyond fads, beyond culture, beyond our favorite things, and in the One who made us with the capacity to put childishness away and, as image-bearers of God, to embrace our lives with a kind of childlike vigor, joy, wonder, and awe.
This coming Sunday, we'll take a look at what else Paul has to say in one of the most famous and beloved passages in all of Christian scripture. Join us! Fidgeters (and fidget spinners) welcome!
Two more videos will post later tonight. In the meantime, you're invited to follow us on Facebook and to sign up for weekly email updates about what we're doing in worship and in service to the world!

On the northerly shore of San Francisco Bay a line of bluffs terminates in a promontory, at whose base, formed by the crumbling debris of the cliff above, there is a narrow stretch of beach, salt meadow, and scrub oak. The abrupt wall of rock behind it seems to isolate it as completely from the mainland as the sea before it separates it from the opposite shore. In spite of its contiguity to San Francisco,—opposite also, but hidden by the sharp reentering curve of coast,—the locality was wild, uncultivated, and unfrequented. A solitary fisherman's cabin half hidden in the rocks was the only trace of habitation. White drifts of sea-gulls and pelican across the face of the cliff, gray clouds of sandpipers rising from the beach, the dripping flight of ducks over the salt meadows, and the occasional splash of a seal from the rocks, were the only signs of life that could be seen from the decks of passing ships. And yet the fisherman's cabin was occupied by Zephas Bunker and his young wife, and he had succeeded in wresting from the hard soil pasturage for a cow and goats, while his lateen-sailed fishing-boat occasionally rode quietly in the sheltered cove below.
Three years ago Zephas Bunker, an ex-whaler, had found himself stranded on a San Francisco wharf and had "hired out" to a small Petaluma farmer. At the end of a year he had acquired little taste for the farmer's business, but considerable for the farmer's youthful daughter, who, equally weary of small agriculture, had consented to elope with him in order to escape it. They were married at Oakland; he put his scant earnings into a fishing-boat, discovered the site for his cabin, and brought his bride thither. The novelty of the change pleased her, although perhaps it was but little advance on her previous humble position. Yet she preferred her present freedom to the bare restricted home life of her past; the perpetual presence of the restless sea was a relief to the old monotony of the wheat field and its isolated drudgery. For Mary's youthful fancy, thinly sustained in childhood by the lightest literary food, had neither been stimulated nor disillusioned by her marriage. That practical experience which is usually the end of girlish romance had left her still a child in sentiment. The long absences of her husband in his fishing-boat kept her from wearying of or even knowing his older and unequal companionship; it gave her a freedom her girlhood had never known, yet added a protection that suited her still childish dependency, while it tickled her pride with its equality. When not engaged in her easy household duties in her three-roomed cottage, or the care of her rocky garden patch, she found time enough to indulge her fancy over the mysterious haze that wrapped the invisible city so near and yet unknown to her; in the sails that slipped in and out of the Golden Gate, but of whose destination she knew nothing; and in the long smoke trail of the mail steamer which had yet brought her no message. Like all dwellers by the sea, her face and her thoughts were more frequently turned towards it; and as with them, it also seemed to her that whatever change was coming into her life would come across that vast unknown expanse. But it was here that Mrs. Bunker was mistaken.
It had been a sparkling summer morning. The waves were running before the dry northwest trade winds with crystalline but colorless brilliancy. Sheltered by the high, northerly bluff, the house and its garden were exposed to the untempered heat of the cloudless sun refracted from the rocky wall behind it. Some tarpaulin and ropes lying among the rocks were sticky and odorous; the scrub oaks and manzanita bushes gave out the aroma of baking wood; occasionally a faint pot-pourri fragrance from the hot wild roses and beach grass was blown along the shore; even the lingering odors of Bunker's vocation, and of Mrs. Bunker's cooking, were idealized and refined by the saline breath of the sea at the doors and windows. Mrs. Bunker, in the dazzling sun, bending over her peas and lettuces with a small hoe, felt the comfort of her brown holland sunbonnet. Secure in her isolation, she unbuttoned the neck of her gown for air, and did not put up the strand of black hair that had escaped over her shoulder. It was very hot in the lee of the bluff, and very quiet in that still air. So quiet that she heard two distinct reports, following each other quickly, but very faint and far. She glanced mechanically towards the sea. Two merchant-men in midstream were shaking out their wings for a long flight, a pilot boat and coasting schooner were rounding the point, but there was no smoke from their decks. She bent over her work again, and in another moment had forgotten it. But the heat, with the dazzling reflection from the cliff, forced her to suspend her gardening, and stroll along the beach to the extreme limit of her domain. Here she looked after the cow that had also strayed away through the tangled bush for coolness. The goats, impervious to temperature, were basking in inaccessible fastnesses on the cliff itself that made her eyes ache to climb. Over an hour passed, she was returning, and had neared her house, when she was suddenly startled to see the figure of a man between her and the cliff. He was engaged in brushing his dusty clothes with a handkerchief, and although he saw her coming, and even moved slowly towards her, continued his occupation with a half-impatient, half-abstracted air. Her feminine perception was struck with the circumstance that he was in deep black, with scarcely a gleam of white showing even at his throat, and that he wore a tall black hat. Without knowing anything of social customs, it seemed to her that his dress was inconsistent with his appearance there.
"Good-morning," he said, lifting his hat with a preoccupied air. "Do you live here?"
"Yes," she said wonderingly.
"Anybody else?"
"My husband."
"I mean any other people? Are there any other houses?" he said with a slight impatience.
He looked at her and then towards the sea. "I expect some friends who are coming for me in a boat. I suppose they can land easily here?"
"Didn't you yourself land here just now?" she said quickly.
He half hesitated, and then, as if scorning an equivocation, made a hasty gesture over her shoulder and said bluntly, "No, I came over the cliff."
"Down the cliff?" she repeated incredulously.
"Yes," he said, glancing at his clothes; "it was a rough scramble, but the goats showed me the way."
"And you were up on the bluff all the time?" she went on curiously.
"Yes. You see—I"—he stopped suddenly at what seemed to be the beginning of a prearranged and plausible explanation, as if impatient of its weakness or hypocrisy, and said briefly, "Yes, I was there."
Like most women, more observant of his face and figure, she did not miss this lack of explanation. He was a very good-looking man of middle age, with a thin, proud, high-bred face, which in a country of bearded men had the further distinction of being smoothly shaven. She had never seen any one like him before. She thought he looked like an illustration of some novel she had read, but also somewhat melancholy, worn, and tired.
"Won't you come in and rest yourself?" she said, motioning to the cabin.
"Thank you," he said, still half absently. "Perhaps I'd better. It may be some time yet before they come."
She led the way to the cabin, entered the living room—a plainly furnished little apartment between the bedroom and the kitchen— pointed to a large bamboo armchair, and placed a bottle of whiskey and some water on the table before him. He thanked her again very gently, poured out some spirits in his glass, and mixed it with water. But when she glanced towards him again he had apparently risen without tasting it, and going to the door was standing there with his hand in the breast of his buttoned frock coat, gazing silently towards the sea. There was something vaguely historical in his attitude—or what she thought might be historical—as of somebody of great importance who had halted on the eve of some great event at the door of her humble cabin.
His apparent unconsciousness of her and of his surroundings, his preoccupation with something far beyond her ken, far from piquing her, only excited her interest the more. And then there was such an odd sadness in his eyes.
"Are you anxious for your folks' coming?" she said at last, following his outlook.
"I—oh no!" he returned, quickly recalling himself, "they'll be sure to come—sooner or later. No fear of that," he added, half smilingly, half wearily.
Mrs. Bunker passed into the kitchen, where, while apparently attending to her household duties, she could still observe her singular guest. Left alone, he seated himself mechanically in the chair, and gazed fixedly at the fireplace. He remained a long time so quiet and unmoved, in spite of the marked ostentatious clatter Mrs. Bunker found it necessary to make with her dishes, that an odd fancy that he was scarcely a human visitant began to take possession of her. Yet she was not frightened. She remembered distinctly afterwards that, far from having any concern for herself, she was only moved by a strange and vague admiration of him.
But her prolonged scrutiny was not without effect. Suddenly he raised his dark eyes, and she felt them pierce the obscurity of her kitchen with a quick, suspicious, impatient penetration, which as they met hers gave way, however, to a look that she thought was gently reproachful. Then he rose, stretched himself to his full height, and approaching the kitchen door leaned listlessly against the door-post.
"I don't suppose you are ever lonely here?"
"No, sir."
"Of course not. You have yourself and husband. Nobody interferes with you. You are contented and happy together."
Mrs. Bunker did not say, what was the fact, that she had never before connected the sole companionship of her husband with her happiness. Perhaps it had never occurred to her until that moment how little it had to do with it. She only smiled gratefully at the change in her guest's abstraction.
"Do you often go to San Francisco?" he continued.
"I have never been there at all. Some day I expect we will go there to live."
"I wouldn't advise you to," he said, looking at her gravely. "I don't think it will pay you. You'll never be happy there as here. You'll never have the independence and freedom you have here. You'll never be your own mistress again. But how does it happen you never were in San Francisco?" he said suddenly.
If he would not talk of himself, here at least was a chance for Mrs. Bunker to say something. She related how her family had emigrated from Kansas across the plains and had taken up a "location" at Contra Costa. How she didn't care for it, and how she came to marry the seafaring man who brought her here—all with great simplicity and frankness and as unreservedly as to a superior being—albeit his attention wandered at times, and a rare but melancholy smile that he had apparently evoked to meet her conversational advances became fixed occasionally. Even his dark eyes, which had obliged Mrs. Bunker to put up her hair and button her collar, rested upon her without seeing her.
"Then your husband's name is Bunker?" he said when she paused at last. "That's one of those Nantucket Quaker names—sailors and whalers for generations—and yours, you say, was MacEwan. Well, Mrs. Bunker, YOUR family came from Kentucky to Kansas only lately, though I suppose your father calls himself a Free-States man. You ought to know something of farming and cattle, for your ancestors were old Scotch Covenanters who emigrated a hundred years ago, and were great stock raisers."
All this seemed only the natural omniscience of a superior being. And Mrs. Bunker perhaps was not pained to learn that her husband's family was of a lower degree than her own. But the stranger's knowledge did not end there. He talked of her husband's business— he explained the vast fishing resources of the bay and coast. He showed her how the large colony of Italian fishermen were inimical to the interests of California and to her husband—particularly as a native American trader. He told her of the volcanic changes of the bay and coast line, of the formation of the rocky ledge on which she lived. He pointed out to her its value to the Government for defensive purposes, and how it naturally commanded the entrance of the Golden Gate far better than Fort Point, and that it ought to be in its hands. If the Federal Government did not buy it of her husband, certainly the State of California should. And here he fell into an abstraction as deep and as gloomy as before. He walked to the window, paced the floor with his hand in his breast, went to the door, and finally stepped out of the cabin, moving along the ledge of rocks to the shore, where he stood motionless.
Mrs. Bunker had listened to him with parted lips and eyes of eloquent admiration. She had never before heard anyone talk like THAT—she had not believed it possible that any one could have such knowledge. Perhaps she could not understand all he said, but she would try to remember it after he had gone. She could only think now how kind it was of him that in all this mystery of his coming, and in the singular sadness that was oppressing him, he should try to interest her. And thus looking at him, and wondering, an idea came to her.
She went into her bedroom and took down her husband's heavy pilot overcoat and sou'wester, and handed them to her guest.
"You'd better put them on if you're going to stand there," she said.
"But I am not cold," he said wonderingly.
"But you might be SEEN," she said simply. It was the first suggestion that had passed between them that his presence there was a secret. He looked at her intently, then he smiled and said, "I think you're right, for many reasons," put the pilot coat over his frock coat, removed his hat with the gesture of a bow, handed it to her, and placed the sou'wester in its stead. Then for an instant he hesitated as if about to speak, but Mrs. Bunker, with a delicacy that she could not herself comprehend at the moment, hurried back to the cabin without giving him an opportunity.
Nor did she again intrude upon his meditations. Hidden in his disguise, which to her eyes did not, however, seem to conceal his characteristic figure, he wandered for nearly an hour under the bluff and along the shore, returning at last almost mechanically to the cabin, where, oblivious of his surroundings, he reseated himself in silence by the table with his cheek resting on his hand. Presently, her quick, experienced ear detected the sound of oars in their row-locks; she could plainly see from her kitchen window a small boat with two strangers seated at the stern being pulled to the shore. With the same strange instinct of delicacy, she determined not to go out lest her presence might embarrass her guest's reception of his friends. But as she turned towards the living room she found he had already risen and was removing his hat and pilot coat. She was struck, however, by the circumstance that not only did he exhibit no feeling of relief at his deliverance, but that a half-cynical, half-savage expression had taken the place of his former melancholy. As he went to the door, the two gentlemen hastily clambered up the rocks to greet him.
"Jim reckoned it was you hangin' round the rocks, but I couldn't tell at that distance. Seemed you borrowed a hat and coat. Well— it's all fixed, and we've no time to lose. There's a coasting steamer just dropping down below the Heads, and it will take you aboard. But I can tell you you've kicked up a h-ll of a row over there." He stopped, evidently at some sign from her guest. The rest of the man's speech followed in a hurried whisper, which was stopped again by the voice she knew. "No. Certainly not." The next moment his tall figure was darkening the door of the kitchen; his hand was outstretched. "Good-by, Mrs. Bunker, and many thanks for your hospitality. My friends here," he turned grimly to the men behind him, "think I ought to ask you to keep this a secret even from your husband. I DON'T! They also think that I ought to offer you money for your kindness. I DON'T! But if you will honor me by keeping this ring in remembrance of it"—he took a heavy seal ring from his finger—"it's the only bit of jewelry I have about me—I'll be very glad. Good-by!" She felt for a moment the firm, soft pressure of his long, thin fingers around her own, and then— he was gone. The sound of retreating oars grew fainter and fainter and was lost. The same reserve of delicacy which now appeared to her as a duty kept her from going to the window to watch the destination of the boat. No, he should go as he came, without her supervision or knowledge.
Nor did she feel lonely afterwards. On the contrary, the silence and solitude of the isolated domain had a new charm. They kept the memory of her experience intact, and enabled her to refill it with his presence. She could see his tall figure again pausing before her cabin, without the incongruous association of another personality; she could hear his voice again, unmingled with one more familiar. For the first time, the regular absence of her husband seemed an essential good fortune instead of an accident of their life. For the experience belonged to HER, and not to him and her together. He could not understand it; he would have acted differently and spoiled it. She should not tell him anything of it, in spite of the stranger's suggestion, which, of course, he had only made because he didn't know Zephas as well as she did. For Mrs. Bunker was getting on rapidly; it was her first admission of the conjugal knowledge that one's husband is inferior to the outside estimate of him. The next step—the belief that he was deceiving HER as he was THEM—would be comparatively easy.
Nor should she show him the ring. The stranger had certainly never said anything about that! It was a heavy ring, with a helmeted head carved on its red carnelian stone, and what looked like strange letters around it. It fitted her third finger perfectly; but HIS fingers were small, and he had taken it from his little finger. She should keep it herself. Of course, if it had been money, she would have given it to Zephas; but the stranger knew that she wouldn't take money. How firmly he had said that "I don't!" She felt the warm blood fly to her fresh young face at the thought of it. He had understood her. She might be living in a poor cabin, doing all the housework herself, and her husband only a fisherman, but he had treated her like a lady.
And so the afternoon passed. The outlying fog began to roll in at the Golden Gate, obliterating the headland and stretching a fleecy bar across the channel as if shutting out from vulgar eyes the way that he had gone. Night fell, but Zephas had not yet come. This was unusual, for he was generally as regular as the afternoon "trades" which blew him there. There was nothing to detain him in this weather and at this season. She began to be vaguely uneasy; then a little angry at this new development of his incompatibility. Then it occurred to her, for the first time in her wifehood, to think what she would do if he were lost. Yet, in spite of some pain, terror, and perplexity at the possibility, her dominant thought was that she would be a free woman to order her life as she liked.
It was after ten before his lateen sail flapped in the little cove. She was waiting to receive him on the shore. His good-humored hirsute face was slightly apologetic in expression, but flushed and disturbed with some new excitement to which an extra glass or two of spirits had apparently added intensity. The contrast between his evident indulgence and the previous abstemiousness of her late guest struck her unpleasantly. "Well—I declare," she said indignantly, "so THAT'S what kept you!"
"No," he said quickly; "there's been awful times over in 'Frisco! Everybody just wild, and the Vigilance Committee in session. Jo Henderson's killed! Shot by Wynyard Marion in a duel! He'll be lynched, sure as a gun, if they ketch him."
"But I thought men who fought duels always went free."
"Yes, but this ain't no common duel; they say the whole thing was planned beforehand by them Southern fire-eaters to get rid o' Henderson because he's a Northern man and anti-slavery, and that they picked out Colonel Marion to do it because he was a dead shot. They got him to insult Henderson, so he was bound to challenge Marion, and that giv' Marion the chyce of weppings. It was a reg'lar put up job to kill him."
"And what's all this to do with you?" she asked, with irritation.
"Hold on, won't you! and I'll tell you. I was pickin' up nets off Saucelito about noon, when I was hailed by one of them Vigilance tugs, and they set me to stand off and on the shore and watch that Marion didn't get away, while they were scoutin' inland. Ye see THE DUEL TOOK PLACE JUST OVER THE BLUFF THERE—BEHIND YE—and they allowed that Marion had struck away north for Mendocino to take ship there. For after overhaulin' his second's boat, they found out that they had come away from Saucelito ALONE. But they sent a tug around by sea to Mendocino to head him off there, while they're closin' in around him inland. They're bound to catch him sooner or later. But you ain't listenin', Mollie?"
She was—in every fibre—but with her head turned towards the window, and the invisible Golden Gate through which the fugitive had escaped. For she saw it all now—that glorious vision—her high-bred, handsome guest and Wynyard Marion were one and the same person. And this rough, commonplace man before her—her own husband—had been basely set to capture him!

Gluten-free and healthy too
Unicorn Ingredients, a leading British supplier of ingredients for the bakery and specialist breads markets has confirmed its latest range of seeds meets growing market demand for gluten-free products as well as ongoing demand for products that are nutritionally beneficial.
Many seeds are naturally gluten-free, however, this in itself is not sufficient; a guarantee that there has been no cross-contamination in the supply chain is also necessary.
"Controlling the supply chain is the key part," says Frank Horan, Joint Managing Director of Unicorn Ingredients, which is a supply chain specialist. Sourcing seeds directly from independent farmers and co-operatives around the world, Unicorn has been awarded the BRC Standard for Agents and Brokers for its seeds and honey. The company works closely with its supply chain to provide full traceability of products and a guarantee of quality and safety.
"We are rising to the challenge of increasing demand for gluten-free seeds and are able to work with our customers to provide products that are guaranteed gluten-free either by supplier certification or product analysis," explains Horan.
"In fact, we are going even further than that. Whilst the standard definition of a gluten-free product is that it contains less than 20 parts per million (ppm), an increasing number of our customers are asking for seeds that contain less than 5ppm and we can do that too."
This initiative from Unicorn Ingredients means that Coeliac sufferers, or the increasing number of consumers opting for gluten-free as a lifestyle choice, can now select a bread made with gluten-free flour and the added luxury of a gluten-free seed topping.
Some gluten-free products maintain flavour by adding in other, less healthy ingredients to compensate – not so with seeds. Because the gluten-free guarantee is based on the management of the supply chain there is no compromise over the extensive nutritional values of seeds, which include high fibre, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties, low GI rating and good mineral content.

Gibbous ♑ Capricorn
Moon phase on 8 September 2046 Saturday is First Quarter, 8 days young Moon is in Sagittarius.Share this page: twitter facebook linkedin
First Quarter is the lunar phase on . Seen from Earth, illuminated fraction of the Moon surface is 62% and growing larger. The 8 days young Moon is in ♐ Sagittarius.
* The exact date and time of this First Quarter phase is on 7 September 2046 at 09:07 UTC.
Sunday Sun
Monday Mon
Tuesday Tue
Wednesday Wed
Thursday Thu
Friday Fri
Saturday Sat
Moon rises at noon and sets at midnight. It is visible high in the southern sky in early evening.
Moon is passing first ∠0° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 1.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1875" and ∠1905".
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2046 after 6 days on 15 September 2046 at 06:39.
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
The Moon is 8 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 577 of Meeus index or 1530 from Brown series.
Length of current 577 lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 1 minute. It is 52 minutes shorter than next lunation 578 length.
Length of current synodic month is 4 hours and 44 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 1 hour and 25 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠345.8°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠1.2°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
6 days after point of perigee on 1 September 2046 at 14:28 in ♍ Virgo. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 7 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 16 September 2046 at 10:11 in ♈ Aries.
Moon is 382 179 km (237 475 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 7 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 406 400 km (252 525 mi).
10 days after its descending node on 29 August 2046 at 10:45 in ♌ Leo, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 2 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 11 September 2046 at 05:06 in ♒ Aquarius.
24 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
1 day after previous South standstill on 7 September 2046 at 20:58 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-26.607°. Next 14 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠26.482° in the next northern standstill on 22 September 2046 at 15:17 in ♊ Gemini.
After 6 days on 15 September 2046 at 06:39 in ♓ Pisces, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.

We Avgeeks all know how simply awesome the A-10 Warthog is. Here are some things you might not know about the Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II.
One- The Development of the Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne attack helicopter actually helped to expose the need for a dedicated ground attack aircraft for the Air Force. That first and still only dedicated designed and built for purpose ground attack aircraft became the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II.
Two- The design of the A-10 was developed during the time that the Cessna A-37 Dragonfly was replacing Douglas A-1 Skyraiders as the Air Force's primary CSAR support and counter insurgency (COIN) platform. The Warthog, while obviously a much more capable close air support (CAS) aircraft than the Super Tweet, owes at least some of its design influences to the tiny but capable A-37.
Three- Republic Aircraft of Farmingdale, Long Island, New York, built the two YA-10 prototypes at their factory. The first flight of the YA-10 took place on May 10th 1972 at Republic's airfield on Long Island. However, production of every one of the 715 A-10s built took place at Fairchild's factory in outside Baltimore in Hagerstown in Maryland.
Four- The A-10's General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger 30 millimeter rotary cannon is mounted in the fuselage of the Hog in such a way that the barrel firing is aligned with the centerline of the aircraft. This ensures that when the weapon is fired it does not cause the aircraft to yaw. This is also why the nose gear of the aircraft is offset to the starboard (right) side.
Five- When the GAU-8/A is removed from the Warthog for maintenance or replacement, the tail of the aircraft must be supported or it will come to rest on the ground when the jet's nose tilts up.
Six- The PGU-14/B shells fired by the GAU-8 are only slightly radioactive, no more than most other stones or dirt, but the sub-caliber high-density penetrator inside is extremely dense- adding to the kinetic energy expended when one of the projectiles hits, and usually shreds, its target.
Seven- The General Electric TF-34-GE-100 high-bypass turbofan engines that power the A-10 have only been used on one other operational military aircraft- the Lockheed S-3 Viking carrier-based sub-hunter.
Eight- Those engines are mounted where they are on the airframe for two very good reasons- to protect them from debris raised from the ground during taxi, takeoff, and landing, and to place them above the horizontal tail surfaces, thereby better shielding them from infrared (IR) seeking weapons fired from the ground.
Nine- Although the A-10 is a close air support (CAS) star, it is not as fast as you might think. With a loaded never exceed speed (VNE) of 450 knots (518 miles per hour) at altitude the Warthog is not going to produce any sonic booms. A cleanly-configured A-10 can reach 381 knots (439 miles per hour) at sea level. Several World War II-era warbirds are just about capable of keeping up.
Ten- The roughly 370 A-10Cs still operational today were originally A-10As built by Fairchild-Republic, maintained by Grumman after 1987, upgraded by Lockheed-Martin, and many of the A-10Cs in service have been re-winged by Boeing.
Eleven- The pilot of the A-10 sits in cockpit protected by titanium armor. Often referred to as a "bathtub", the armor adds another 1,200 pounds to the empty wright of the Hog (about 6% of her empty weight), but her pilots will tell you that armor around them is worth every ounce when they bore in low on a heavily defended target.
Twelve- There are roughly 100 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in storage at the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) at any given time.
Thirteen- The Warthog was originally built for a service life of 6,000 hours when they entered service with Tactical Air Command (TAC) 355th Tactical Training Wing in 1976. While that may seem like a lot, it really isn't when you keep a capable airframe like the Hog around for 41 years. Even the newest A-10s delivered since production shut down in 1984 have more than doubled that original expected service life.
Fourteen- A-10s have been updated, upgraded, refitted, reskinned, refurbished, regenerated, and rebuilt so many times that the latest round of upgrades is referred to as Suite 8. Original parts are getting hard to find. The Hog's wings in particular have been the object of several strengthening programs. Most of them have been replaced completely.
Fifteen- One cannot blame Hog pilots for feeling like they're flying a hotter and sleeker fighter than their tough slow jets. After all, they're controlling their hands-on-throttle-and-stick (HOTAS) configured A-10Cs using F-16 Viper stick handles and F-15 Eagle throttles.
Sixteen- The Warthog's ailerons are another distinctive feature. They are just under half as long as the wing itself- providing superior control during maneuvers at any speed. The ailerons can also function as airbrakes, or decelerons, because they can be split-deployed both above and below the wing surface.
Seventeen- A-10s were designed from the get-go to rough it. They are capable of operating from "austere" facilities and require almost no specialized equipment to arm or maintain them. Parts availability is always a challenge when operating away from a major base. Several Warthog parts are built to be installed on either side of the aircraft- including the engines.
Eighteen- The main landing gear of the A-10 do not retract fully into their fairings. This is actually a potential advantage. If a Hog is forced to belly-land the exposed wheels mean the aircraft does not shred itself to pieces as it grinds down to a stop. The landing gear are also set up to free-fall into place if hydraulic pressure is lost.
Nineteen- Warthogs engaged in combat search and rescue (CSAR) missions escorting Air Force HH-60 Pave Hawk rescue helicopters use the same call sign that the Douglas A-1 Skyraiders used when they flew similar missions 50 or more years ago- Sandy.
Twenty- There are many who would rather the Warthog just go away and be replaced by some other more expensive and less-durable dedicated CAS aircraft. Some of these same people believe that an aircraft like an armed turboprop trainer or a recycled Vietnam-era FAC plane can do the Hog's job. You be the judge.
Enjoy this Battle Stations episode all about the A-10.

Joe has a long history with Goodwill; he was a student at the Goodwill Academy in 2006. As part of the program there, he would also work a few hours a day at the North Sarasota store. Since then, he has worked with Titled Goods, Honore, and Facilities Maintenance. Joe took a short break at the end of 2014 to work in the construction industry, but he found that the work was not steady. It was either feast or famine – which did not work for him because he had a car payment to make every month. So, Joe came back to Goodwill and worked at our Venice store. While at Venice, he enrolled in the Ave Maria Workforce Education program and received his High School Diploma on August 18, 2016.
Joe and his fiancée found an affordable apartment in Bradenton and the commute to and from Venice took up a significant portion of his day. When Joe heard that Goodwill was opening a new store on Cortez Road in Bradenton, he requested a transfer. The transfer to the new store took place right before Cortez opened in April 2017.
Joe says he knows he can count on Goodwill, not only for a full-time job with consistent hours, but for the flexibility to change positions/locations within the company when his situation changes AND for the services Goodwill offers its Team Members: which include a GoodPartner Coach and the chance to get a high school diploma. Joe has learned that there are not any other employers out there with those types of benefits! In return, Goodwill can count on Joe to provide world class customer service as a valuable, seasoned employee.

First Fleet Surgeon: The Voyage of Arthur Bowes Smyth
Author(s): David Hill
In a single leather-bound volume of 238 unlined pages of parchment, Surgeon Arthur Bowes Smyth describes his two-and-a-half year journey with the First Fleet from Portsmouth in England to the new colony in Australia and back. He is a frank, articulate and observant writer, and his diary, a treasure of the National Library of Australia, covers life at sea, stopovers in the slave port of Rio de Janeiro and the tropical paradise of Tahiti, and three months of early settlement in Australia.
As surgeon to more than 100 convict women on the Lady Penrhyn, Bowes Smyth gives an insight into the plight of these women, sentenced to transportation, and their children. Their voyage was marked by seasickness, miscarriage, infant deaths, a diet of salted meat and dry hardtack biscuits, and cruel punishment from thumb screws to gagging and flogging with a cat-o'-nine-tails. When they finally set foot on Australian soil, their travails did not end, being set upon by drunken sailors and crew in a 'scene of debauchery and riot'.
Bowes Smyth also describes medical incidents that would make a modern reader squirm, from extracting a 'jigger worm' from his own foot to a scurvy outbreak which resulted in bleeding noses, contracted muscles, emaciated bodies and swollen, blackening limbs. There are moments of high drama when mountainous seas threaten to overturn the ship or when passengers fall overboard, as well as calm days at sea spotting porpoises, whales, seals and all manner of sea birds.
Upon finally reaching Botany Bay, Bowes Smyth describes 'the joy which possessed every breast upon so long wished for an event'. He details early encounters with Aboriginal people and the struggles in setting up the new colony, which was plagued from the outset by food shortages, outbreaks of disease and crop failures. He also describes the promiscuity and lax morals of the convicts with typical flair, declaring their audacity 'not to be equalled amongst a set of villains in any other part of the globe'.
In First Fleet Surgeon, author David Hill brings to life the voyage of the Lady Penrhyn and the early months of settlement at Port Jackson (modern-day Sydney) through Bowes Smyth's colourful language and frank anecdotes. Each chapter includes a page of Bowes Smyth's handwritten diary entries accompanied by a full transcript, and is richly illustrated with paintings, lithographs and maps from the National Library of Australia's collection. Information boxes on subjects such as eighteenth-century medical knowledge, brewing beer on board, and a surgeon's typical day provide context to Bowes Smyth's story.

19 Aug NEW SUMMER CAMPAIGN TO WARN BRITONS THAT 'SELLING ON' TOBACCO IN THE UK IS ILLEGAL
London, Monday August 19, 2019 – The TMA, the trade association representing the UK tobacco industry has launched a major new advertising campaign nationwide to alert summer holiday makers of the consequences of selling untaxed tobacco in Britain.
Poster and phone box adverts at strategic locations show the despair faced by individuals caught bringing tobacco back home from overseas for illegal re-sale.
The adverts target key tourist hubs including airports in Manchester, East Midlands, Glasgow Prestwick, Glasgow International and London Luton, the port of Dover and central city locations in Central London and Edinburgh.
Many thousands of Britons are holidaying abroad over the summer period, and popular destinations are often countries where tobacco retails at much cheaper prices than in the UK.
This campaign reminds people tempted to make some money by bringing back cheaper cigarettes and rolling tobacco to sell onto friends, family members, colleagues or even strangers, that they face serious consequences if they are caught by law enforcement.
Research shows that the ways people now sell illegal tobacco is getting ever more sophisticated including through social media channels and community websites.
While there is no limit when returning from another EU country, anyone bringing excessive quantities of tobacco in their baggage may need to demonstrate to law enforcement authorities that it is for their personal use.
For those holidaying outside the EU, which includes the Canary Islands, the allowance is clearly set at 200 cigarettes or 250g of rolling tobacco. Travellers caught with tobacco products over this limit will face fines and possible prosecution. Bringing any tobacco back from abroad and selling it on is a criminal offence.
Rupert Lewis, Director of the TMA said: It's easy for people to forget when they're travelling abroad, especially in the EU. They may decide that they want to buy more tobacco for their personal use as the prices are cheaper. The issue arises when people decide that they are going to sell on this tobacco when they are back in the UK, or they specifically buy it for the purpose of reselling in the UK. This is illegal and a criminal offence. Law enforcement agencies will take action against anybody caught and prosecute them.
Reselling tobacco bought overseas is not a victimless crime. It directly impacts smaller independent shopkeepers who are forced to compete against illegal tobacco sales and it badly harm their businesses.
It's also critical to understand the growing influence of organised crime which is increasingly behind the purchase, trade and supply of illegal tobacco in the UK.
Don't get caught out or caught up in crime. Don't sell on tobacco, it's illegal.
Notes to editors:
- The TMA (Tobacco Manufacturers' Association) is the trade body for the UK tobacco industry. Our members are British American Tobacco Ltd, Gallaher Ltd (a member of the JTI Group of companies) and Imperial Tobacco Ltd.
- This is the sixth year of the TMA's advertising campaign at UK airports, Dover (the world's busiest passenger port) and number of central city locations.
- According to HMRC, since 2000-01 the total tax revenue lost through tobacco smuggling exceeds £45billion (source: HMRC Tobacco Tax Gaps).
- In HMRC's latest 2017-18 Tobacco Tax Gap figures, smuggled tobacco costs the UK taxpayer £1.8billion.

Blizzard Entertainment recently unveiled its revamped plans for World of Warcraft this year, which involves bringing back the two tournaments surrounding the game – the Arena World Championship (AWC) and the Mythic Dungeon International (MDI). There will also be a new structure that gives teams more opportunities and encourages more fan participation.
For AWC, both the North American and European regions will have two seasons, with six cups per season. Each cup will pit teams against one another for their share of the $10,000 prize pool, which allows for more chances for players to win. The top four point earners in each finals event from both North America and Europe will then compete for the $100,000 prize. Other regions such as Asia-Pacific, China, and Latin America will also follow a similar structure.
The AWC Finals will extend invitations to the 1st-place winner from the NA and EU Season 1, the 1st and 2nd placers from NA and EU Summer Finals, and the top point-earners from both NA and EU. They will battle against the winners from China, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America.
Meanwhile, this year's MDI is no longer an invitation-only event. Any player with a Battle.net account and good standing can join the festivities. The tournament will be divided into MDI East – consisting of China, Korea, Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Australia/New Zealand – and MDI West, which includes North America, Latin America, and Europe. Like the AWC, the MDI is also broken up into cups where winners receive their share of the $12,000 prize pool and earn points. Each cup will stream live on Twitch.
Another major change is a new system that requires fan involvement in the prize pool. Blizzard will be selling new in-game items soon, and a portion of the sales from these new items will be added to the prize pools of both tournaments. They will be available for purchase in the spring.
This development, while only recently added to World of Warcraft, is not new. The eSports Observer explains that using in-game purchases for a tournament's prize pool has been used for games like League of Legends, Rainbow Six Siege, and DOTA 2.
Given the fact that World of Warcraft has been around since 2004, it's an impressive feat for it to maintain a massive player base, who will then benefit from these developments. As proof, The Battle for Azeroth expansion sold more than 3.4 million copies on its launch day. The game's player count also reportedly rose to 10.1 million when the Warlords of Draenor expansion was released. This resilience in an era where numerous game titles come out every year is a testament to World of Warcraft's lasting influence.
The vast world featured in the MMORPG has breathed life into classic fantasy figures like dragons, orcs, elves, and more. There's no doubt that the game has contributed to common adaptations, especially since it first launched during an era when fantasy was becoming an extremely popular genre in the entertainment industry. The award-winning Lord of the Rings film trilogy premiered around the same time, and it features a slew of fantastical characters as well. So when you see recognizable representations like the dragon from Dragon Shrine and the fire sprite from Volcano Riches on the online gaming portal Expat Bets, it's undeniable that the popular media before them have had a hand in shaping their images. These newer games are built on the legacy that World of Warcraft and its contemporaries had begun, and will likely continue in influencing the cultural imagination surrounding these fantastical beings.
That said, it's clear that Blizzard doesn't seem to be slowing down with World of Warcraft any time soon. Esports is a big business and the company is looking to gain more from it this year.

Like all other industries, the self-storage industry has also been influenced by the boom in technological advancements we have experienced in the last couple of decades. Where once all we had was just a steel door and a full lock to protect our belongings, our self-storage security features have become more secure while at the same time becoming even more accessible at the same time. And the best example of advancements made here is the integration of the smartphone into our industry.
Mobile Apps for Personal Management
The most prominent way smartphones have been integrated into our self-storage security systems is through mobile apps. There's no denying the versatility and functionality of apps and the self-storage industry knows how to take full advantage of this fact. Remote surveillance, inventory management, authorizing access to your stuff for other people, and staying informed about who goes in or out of your storage unit are to name a few. All of these things and more have become very easy for customers to manage with the help of a smartphone.
If you trust an outside party enough to pick up something from your unit, then taking something out of the facility can be done from the comfort of your own home. Just send an outside party to the address to pick up the selected item(s) from your locker and have management supervise as they come and go, all of which you'll monitor through the app.
Near-Field Communication (NFC)
Never been a fan of keys or keycards? Wish there was just one universal key for all your locks so you could avoid carrying a massive collection of keys everywhere you go? Well, then you're going to love the introduction of NFC into the self-storage industry! Simply explained, NFC allows two electronic devices in very close proximity contact with each other. Your smartphone can be used to pair up with your electronic gate control for your storage bunker to make it function as a crucial virtual card.
Just place your smartphone next to the control panel when you visit the facility the next time around, and you're in! Since your key is now your smartphone, there's an even lesser chance of you losing it and falling into a puzzle (unlike the small traditional keys).
Remote Gate Access
Another add-on to your smartphone recently introduced is the ability to control your storage door remotely. This coupled with the ability to monitor your storage unit from your phone through a wireless connection to the facility's surveillance system; it's easier than ever to access your space. You now have a storage facility that can effectively be operated without manual labor! Though on a cautionary note, one needs to be careful only to manage the door if and when you have access to surveillance.
