Race Weekend Review – NASCAR at Las Vegas – March 3, 2018
NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway
Logano holds off Keselowski for the win; the second win in a row for Penske
Las Vegas, NV, Mar 3/19 (GRW): Kyle Busch was hoping to make it a three-race sweep in Las Vegas but mid-race he lost a lap to a speeding penalty and had to settle for third. The win went to Joey Logano who led the final 24 laps holding off his teammate Brad Keselowski who finished second, making it a Penske one-two and a second win for Penske in two weeks. After having been sent to the back of the field, the best Kyle Busch could do was third. Kevin Harvick had been strong early on, leading 88 of the race's 267 laps but he faded to fourth at the end. Kurt Busch finished in fifth place.
"What a great race," said Logano. "Brad and I were so evenly matched, and you just can't drive away. In the last five or six laps, Brad was catching me so quick, and I got stuck behind a lapped car. Man, it was so close. Lots of fun. My heart's still running hard."
Harvick had won the pole and he led the first 43 laps until the first round of pit stops which came under green half-way through the first Stage. Some drivers waited longer before they pitted and Logano and Daniel Suarez led for a while until the lead cycled back around to Harvick on lap 62. He led the rest of way to the end of the first Stage, winning it ahead of Kyle Busch. During these pit stops, Keselowski only took on two tires which enabled him to beat the rest, led by Kyle Busch, Harvick and Logano, out of the pits.
After the restart, Logano made a push and caught up to Keselowski, passing him for the lead on lap 97. Keselowski faded a bit, letting Busch and Harvick past. Busch closed in on Logano and he took the lead on lap 120 – but the next round of green-flag pit stops was coming soon.
Busch pitted from the lead on lap 128 but he was given a speeding penalty which dropped him a lap down and seemingly out of contention. William Byron stayed out for several more laps taking the lead until he came in and handed over to Logano on lap 150.
Harvick was right behind him but, as the flag flew on lap 160 to end Stage 2, he was still in second place behind Logano. Logano beat Harvick out of the pits but Kurt Busch, who had pitted only a few laps before the end of this Stage, stayed out and took the lead over Logano and Harvick. Meanwhile Kyle Busch was recovering from his setback; he was back on the lead lap and up into tenth place by lap 176.
Kurt Busch, on slightly older tires, could not hang onto the lead, being passed by Harvick on lap 188 – although his strategy was no doubt responsible for his fifth-place finish. Now the order was Harvick, Logano and Keselowski. Logano passed both of them to take the lead on lap 211 just before the final cycle of green-flag pit stops was about to begin.
This sequence of pit stops took place over several laps so, after Logano gave up the lead on lap 216, it was not until lap 227 that he cycled back into the lead – ahead of Keselowski again. Keselowski made a run and managed to get past him on lap 240 and he led for four laps before Logano regained the lead. After that, the race ran green to the checker with Logano holding off his teammate the rest of the way. Keselowski gave it his best shot, finishing 0.236 seconds behind him.
Kyle Busch finished just over second behind in third. Had he not received that speeding penalty who knows? He might have won the race and completed his home-town three-race sweep.

NASCAR Xfinity Series Boyd Gaming 300 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway
Kyle Busch goes a lap down but luck is on his side; he scores his second win of the weekend
Las Vegas, NV, Mar 2/19 (GRW): Things looked bad for Kyle Busch when, only a few laps into the Xfinity race he had to pit for a loose wheel and he went a lap down. His only hope was that another caution would fall soon and he would be able to take the wave-around and then yet another caution would fall letting him pit for fuel and tires and take that restart on the lead lap – and then race his way back up through the field to win the race. And, you know, unlikely as it sounds, it all fell into place for him and he took the race lead on lap 112 of the 200-lap race and he was in command the rest of the way, scoring his second win in his shot at the three-race weekend sweep.
Qualifying was rained out and the starting order was determined by 2018 season points which, the same as last week, gave Cole Custer the pole. After the start, there was almost immediately a caution when the Pinty's driver Donald Theetge spun and collected Joey Gase. This ended Theetge's and Gase's days. Custer was far ahead of this incident and he held onto the lead until the end of the first Stage.
Meanwhile Busch had been complaining about a loose wheel – a surprise given that the wheels would have been carefully installed with a torque wrench prior to the start. It was not a surprise that Busch was chewing out his crew for this mistake. He had to make a pit stop under green on lap 12 and he went a lap down – nearly two– back in 33rd place.
Coming back to the green for the start of Stage 2 on lap 53, Custer had dropped to fourth while Tyler Reddick now had the lead – but Busch, having taken the wave-around during this caution was back on the lead lap. Just eight laps later, Busch got his big break – Austin Cindric lost control and spun bringing out the third caution. This let Busch make another pit stop and take on the fuel he needed and they put the 'scuffs' from his aborted first run back on. Within a couple of laps of the restart, Busch was already up into tenth place, two seconds back of Reddick, the race leader. When the second Stage ended he was in fifth place and he came out of the pits in third.
Now. when the green flew, Busch pounced and he was immediately up to second place harrying Reddick. Another 14 laps and he was past him into the lead. This third Stage was 110 laps long so everyone would need to pit again for fuel. When this pit stop cycle was over, Busch still had the lead but his teammate Christopher Bell was coming and by lap 167 he was up to second and closing. Busch's truck must have had some handling problems because, on lap 179, it wiggled and Bell was able to get past – but only for two laps before Busch regained command.
Just as it looked like Busch was set to cruise home the winner anther yellow flew with ten laps to go and everyone dove into the pits for fresh tires. The decision by Ben Beshore, Busch's rookie crew chief, to use the scuffs earlier left him with a fresh set of tires for this final run.
Busch lined up for the restart with Reddick, Christopher Bell and Brandon Jones behind. John Hunter Nemechek got past Jones for fourth on the restart and then Jones tangled with Custer setting off a multi-car wreck and taking the race into overtime.
On this restart Reddick spun collecting Bell, Cindric and others. Yellow again.
Overtime restart No. 2: Busch was still in the lead alongside Nemechek for the restart. The green flag flies and Busch retains control, taking the checker a mere 0.192 seconds ahead of Nemechek. Noah Gragson, who drove a truck for Busch last year but is now with JR Motorsports, was third while Austin Dillon was fourth and Michael Annett, another JRM driver, was fifth.
"It was really tough coming back from those setbacks," Busch said. "I wasn't sure how we were going to be able to do it, down a set of tires. We got a lucky break with that caution during the second stage. That kind of got us back on cycle, and we were able to put the first set (of tires) back on with fresh wheels, so we didn't have any more issues there."

NASCAR Gander Outdoor Truck Series Strat 200 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway
A dominant win for Kyle Busch
Las Vegas, NV, Mar 1/19 (GRW): Kyle Busch started off his three-race weekend in quest of another sweep by winning the truck race with ease on Friday evening. He started from the pole and he led 110 of the race's 134 laps, winning by a 1.2-second margin over defending series champion Brett Moffitt. Matt Crafton finished in third place with Stewart Friesen fourth and Harrison Burton fifth.
Busch maintained the lead through the first caution which fell on lap seven and held on to win the first Stage at lap 30. During this round of pit stops a number of trucks took on only two tires while Busch and others took on four. Friesen was one of those who only took two tires which gave him the lead when the green flag flew again – with Busch starting back on the third row.
This was a disastrous pit stop for Moffitt. First the air hose got tangled making for a lengthy pit stop and then he had to make a second pit stop to check a wheel vibration. All this sent him to the back of the field and apparently out of contention.
Friesen led for 16 laps until Busch was able to carve his way back up to the front to regain the lead. Busch continued to lead to the end of Stage 2. This time he emerged from the pits still in the lead ahead of Friesen. By now Moffitt had recovered from his first Stage pit stop problems and was challenging Friesen for second, getting past him by lap 90.
The final 74-lap Stage ran caution free but everyone had to make another pit stop to top up with fuel; most took on two tires as well. This pit stop cycle shuffled things. Moffitt pitted about three laps before Busch and, on his fresh tires, he was able to close the gap from over two seconds to right up on his tail. However, Moffitt lost ground in traffic and fell back a bit. He was unable to better Busch's pace and he had to settle for his second-place finish. Crafton had been involved in the first incident on lap 6 and suffered some rear-end damage. This had dropped him back in the field but he was able to methodically work his way back up towards the front to claim his third-place finish.
Busch is always looking for more and in his post-race comments he complained of handling problems during the race. "We fought it in practice a little bit," said Busch. "We worked on it an awful lot to make it better. (Crew chief) Rudy (Fugle) and these guys did an amazing job on this Tundra. It was really, really fast. Just kept working on it all night long – every pit stop."

My fiancé and I planned our first trip to the ranch while in Las Vegas this jan. We did alot of internet searching, reading reviews and looking at pics. Then we emailed a few girls our interests and later made an appt with amber and for that night. The GPS got us lost so we were late but she was a sweet heart about it and put us at ease! Needless to say we were planning our next trip as we drove back to our hotel. So we were back in a few months! This time we planned ahead and stayed in a suite. We had dinner at a hibachi restaurant amber recommended and came bake later to play. Amber is great with couples, keeping both of us involved and in ecstasy. She always aims to please, she can be sweet or naughty! 😉 later we got to have a drink with her and Brittney Ryder. They are both fun fabulous ladies! We had a last min trip to Vegas so we stopped by for dinner and drinks. We got to meet some more ladies, and talk a little about our next trip! Can't to see everyone again! Thanks for being so nice ladies( Olivia, Char, Ellie, Cassie) to name a few.June 18, 2014 at 3:19 am #8657
I just saw all my spelling errors, I apologize, it was late and my phone likes to change any word that is close to another word I've typed two or more times. Im nt tech savvy so I dont know how to delete and redo nor how to change my phone! In addition to my post I would like to say just how freeing this has all been. It is nice to have the forum and twitter as an outlet. Its empowering to be around other women who love sex and experimentation. So thanks to Sheri's and everyone who works there!!June 18, 2014 at 3:47 am #8659
Don't worry about those as long as the intent you ment to convey is correct.June 18, 2014 at 8:12 am #8665CandyAndyParticipant
Don't be concerned about the spelling or grammar errors. You could, however, edit your post if you feel some of the context is definitely not communicating the way that you want it to. I'm glad that you and your fiance had a great time!June 18, 2014 at 3:12 pm #8673
I am impressed that you and your fiancee want to come to Sheri's before the wedding.June 21, 2014 at 4:39 am #8717
Thanks guys! Why impressed?June 21, 2014 at 3:29 pm #8719
It just seems strange to me that right before your wedding you would want to experiment with a threesome.June 27, 2014 at 6:15 am #8795
I could see how one might think it strange, but we dont. It wasn't planned, we were there to see our venue. on our drive to Vegas my fiance mentioned maybe going to a strip club together, but I felt like it wld be a waste of money for the most part, so I later mentioned looking into brothels. We looked online and decide to check it out. Experimentation is a big part of our sex life, this is just another thing we enjoy together. We are both very sexual people who lived a pretty restrained sex life (and not in a good way) till we meet each other. we knew that a threesome at any point in a relationship is a big thing. For that reason both of us needed to be 100% sure about it and if either changed their mind at anytime then it would end or nt even start. Detailed boundaries for each of us were set so everyone was to be comfortable with all that would happen or could happen. personally we feel this is the time in our life for these type things, its just us two. So we are going to enjoy all we can now. Once we have children time and money will go to sports and music lessons. This way we have lots of naughty memories, for any slumps we may encounter. 🙂June 27, 2014 at 3:06 pm #8810
I understand your situation much better now, thanks.

Moisture can damage your roof to a great extent so it is important that you make very effective barriers for all kind of seasonal effects. It is important to create a safety stand around the areas of chimneys and intersections of your roof. All the architectural features that you have created with attention are also in a danger of damage. The standard shingles you once have installed in your house can again be in the need of repairing. Therefore, it is very important that you repair or install a new roof if required at a certain point.
People hire and take services from roofers for every small repairing and installation of the house roof. They do not recognize that they themselves can save a lot of time and money with putting some efforts by themselves. Installation and Replacement of roof flashing can be made through a number of simple but very careful steps. It can be done with a few numbers of tools and materials without the help of an experienced roofer. Here are the tools that you would need for this project.
Required Tools and Materials:-
- 1 Hammer
- 1 Tin Snips
- Required Step flashing
- Adequate number of roofing nails
Installing Flashing for Chimneys:
Installing the shingle around the chimney is the first step that you have to follow while working around a chimney. Now start laying a base of flashing in an appropriate manner around the end of the chimney. Use nails for attaching the flashing to the area and apply cement wherever the need for attaching flashing. Now attach the flashing that you can see at the top part by fitting it with 1-inch of the gap. The gap between flashing and shingles would be then sealed with the cement you have already prepared.
Vent Pipe:
Installation of the vent pipe is very easy as you first have to place the upper part of the pipe below the shingles. It would extend the lower part of pipe on top of the shingles keeps it exposed to air. Now lift the shingles just about the vent pipe and then start sliding the upper part of vent flashing underside. Seal the area between the vent flashing and the shingles with the membrane. Use galvanized nails for attaching the vent flashing with shingles and ensure the security of flashing through applying silicon.
Valley Flashing:
Buy a valley flashing of v or w shape and make a waterproof membrane is an important step before applying valley flashing. Direct the underlayment of flashing with a manufacturer and then make sure that the valley flashing is at the top side of the area. The flush and the drip edge of flashing should be at the lower side of the valley at the time of laying it on the roof. Use tip snip for trimming it and then use nails for attaching the flashing with the surface to the surrounding part.
Drip Edges:
Installing drip edges is the last part that you have to follow once you have installed valley flashing. Nail it underside of builder's felt and then cover the area with cement. Now install it over the area of felt and roof fascia for protecting your roof from seasonal changes and harmful effects that may damage your roof.
If you are not sure of having comprehensive knowledge about installation or repair of your roof then we highly recommend that you hire a professional roofer for this project of installing flashing. Messing up with all the materials is not a good idea in case it is your first experience with this project. If by any chance your roof is damaged and beyond repair then in that case you really need to contact professional Roofing contractors in Northville Michigan for a professional advice.

MONDAY TAKE: What A Friday Night For South Florida
Having covered and evaluated high school football for 48 years, this time of year certainly is as exciting as it gets.
For those who still cannot comprehend why people get excited over high school football – especially this time of year – there is nothing that can be said to make you feel any other way.
However, there is a core group that will head to Orlando this week to share their passion with 16 teams and thousands of fans who will make their way to Camping World Stadium for three days of great football, solid weather and a sense of seeing some of the country's best athletes.
With five teams sealing their trip this weekend in south Florida, the state semifinals truly captured what football is all about in the Sunshine State.
From Baker to Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Seffner, Lakeland, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Madison County, Naples, Deerfield Beach and Fort Lauderdale, last Friday night put high school football in perspective.
With fans attending games and following on social media, high school football has really changed – from the 1970's, when you had to make a choice which state final you attended. Having them all at one place was never even an issue.
Hosting the event at one site has only added to the attention and passion that has been felt in communities such as Miami, Tallahassee, Gainesville and Orlando, which have been fortunate to host this gathering of fans and football purists.
For seven south Florida schools, last Friday night was the game that these programs work hard year-round to achieve.
It was a simple fact – win or go home – and in the end – six teams from Miami-Dade and Broward found out what it was like to advance to the showcase weekend of football in Florida.
For defending state champions Hialeah Champagnat Catholic (2A), Chaminade-Madonna (3A) and Northwestern (6A), it was indeed a long and winding road, but look at what programs are standing as we head to Orlando.
All three programs, who stood on the podium a year ago, were faced with life on the road in the state semifinals. For coach Hector Clavijo and the Lions, and Max Edwards and his Bulls, playing on the road is nothing new. They both played all four playoff games away from home.
Champagnat held on to beat No. 1 seed Admiral Farragut in St. Petersburg – while Northwestern upended No. 1 seed Naples – for the second straight year.
For the Lions of Chaminade-Madonna, the 16-0 win over previously unbeaten Clearwater Central Catholic once again showcased a defense that has been impressive all year.
The two programs who head into this weekend's state championships with little title game pedigree will be Cardinal Gibbons (5A) and Christopher Columbus (8A).
Head coach Matt Dubuc's Chiefs have built toward this game, making their first appearance since 1990. Coach Chris Merritt's Explorers have been to this game twice – the last in 2014, losing to Apopka.
While there are five programs who will head to Orlando, two missed out on the opportunity.
In 4A, you have to give head coach Daniel Luque and his University School Sharks credit for a tremendous season. They dropped a heart-breaker in Cocoa.
For head coach Jevon Glenn and his Deerfield Beach Bucks, the road to Orlando was stopped at home, but it was a very impressive season. One that watched this team showcase some quality talent.
Catch the South Florida High School Sports Radio Show each Tuesday night (8-9) on WQAM (560AM - https://wqam.radio.com/media/podcast/south-florida-high-school-sports-radio). For the past 11 years, the players and coaches who are making the headlines, join the program. You will learn a lot about football recruiting!

I'm currently an engineer at Goldman Sachs working on the Marquee team, an internal startup focused on building electronic trading systems/trading strategy distribution.
Previously, I worked at Time Inc managing the Erlang platform that powered all product renewals, upgrades, and billing transactions.
I graduated from Wake Forest University with a B.S. in Computer Science and a minor in Entrepreneurship.
I enjoy spicy foods (I once ate the world's hottest sauce), my favorite season is Winter, and I have an affinity for anything with wheels. I'm from Washington, D.C., but I've lived in both London and New York. However, my favorite city is Stockholm, Sweden.
If I had to choose 3 languages to use for the rest of my life, they would be Python, C++, and Erlang (call me crazy). I love learning new languages, especially functional ones as of late.
I'm an OS X evangelist and really anything Unix of the sort. Unsurprisingly, this is my favorite open source project.
I believe in utterly simply designs and sheer minimalism. I treat my code style as a form of art (4 spaces, not tabs). When I'm not bossing computers around, you can find me reposting new house-music on SoundCloud, building things out of wood, or here.

STOMP at The Hanover Theatre A 2 Sided Review
STOMP rolled its way into the Hanover Theatre in Worcester and put on 4 sold out performances. Crystal and I were able to catch 2 different shows, on Friday evening we attended the theater for the first time as patrons and today we volunteered at the matinée show.
For Friday night's show we had nice lower seats on the aisle 13 rows back from the stage. We showed up with just 10 minutes to spare before the show started since we are so familiar with the building at this point we just had to show up right before 9pm. The theater was packed with a Friday night crowd, a nice mix of folks,from seasoned theater goers and couples to kids who seemed to be on high school dates. Waiting for the show to start the one thing I noticed for the first time was how loud the din if the audience is while everyone is being seated. I had never really noticed it before while volunteering at an event. I guess I am so busy helping folks out and getting them seated that I am focused and don't really have a chance to hear the background noise. But as a patron who is waiting for the show to start it was really something I picked up on.
On to the show. What can I say except that both Saturday evening's show and Sunday's matinée were both 105 minutes of rhythmic pleasure. The cast seems really loose with each other and it was interesting to see the subtle nuances between the two shows depending on the vibe the cast members were feeling at the time. Also we watched Sunday's show from the balcony rather than the floor and having that higher viewpoint was a great way to follow up watching the show from the night before. I appreciated the performances from the set scaffolding much more by watching from the balcony.
The show mixes hard core rhythms that overpower your senses with minimal noises made from the smallest of objects in a way that creates a very nice ebb and flow to the whole sense of the show.
Great to see that STOMP was able to sell out all 4 shows and bring over 8,000 patrons to downtown Worcester this weekend. I hope everyone in attendance had a blast!

I was there Sunday. I think I was in your area. Great show and real nice place. Funny though that the 111 Chop House doesn't open til 4 on a Sunday. Figured they'd open a little earlier for people coming through after the matinée.

Group calls for traffic safety revolution
A local nonprofit that has spent years arguing for less road building and more pedestrian and mixed-use development has released a detailed plan that supporters say would dramatically reduce traffic fatalities and injuries.
Following other "vision zero" programs nationally, Houston Tomorrow encouraged officials – especially Houston lawmakers – to crack down on speeding and distracted driving while investing more in rebuilding streets so that vehicles can share them safely with pedestrians, cyclists and other users.
"Vision Zero does not discriminate based on how you choose to get around," the report's authors said. "We want people riding in cars to be safe. We want everyone to be able to ride their bike to work safely. We want people walking around town without risk of losing their life or someone they love."
Vision Zero Houston Report by Houston Chronicle
Among the 10 largest U.S. cities, Houston and other southern cities where car travel is more common have a far higher incidence of traffic fatalities – a figure that includes drivers, vehicle passengers, pedestrians and cyclists. In 2014, 227 people were killed in Houston in traffic-related incidents. New York, despite having 6.2 million more residents, reported 269 fatalities.
"Almost as many people die on the streets of the City of Houston as are murdered each year," the report read. "Our response to this shocking statistic should be simple: We must treat traffic deaths in the Houston region as seriously as we treat homicide, as a major public health and security crisis."
In the 13-county Houston area, 667 traffic-related fatalities were reported in 2014. Alcohol was the most common contributing factor, followed by excessive speed, according to the report.
As a result, the authors advocate targeted enforcement of DUIs and speeding, as well as more acceptance of street designs that in many cases lower vehicle speeds, make transit more accessible and prioritize spending for better bike lanes and sidewalks.

39a Parriwi Road, Mosman, NSW, 1955–58
Snelling's most unusual house of the 1950s was built by radio broadcaster Keith Smith for his family on the steep hillside rising from Chinamans Beach on Sydney's Middle Harbour. With its gravity-defying, triangular structural framing, this residence reprised the 'Googie' designs built in Los Angeles by Snelling's 1947 employers, Douglas Honnold and John Lautner. Snelling's Keith Smith concept sketch was published on the cover of Architecture and Arts magazine in February 1956. (
The main floor was elevated above the rocky hillside by a projecting, split-level concrete slab supported from two inverted-triangular side walls, built with rendered brick, that each touched the ground at two points. Three bedrooms and a study, with a cedar-panelled hallway, were clustered at the north end of the house. Centrally placed on the east side were a kitchen, with stainless steel appliances and yellow laminate benchtops, and a bathroom, with red laminate walls.
A sandstone-paved entrance foyer was centrally placed on the west side (entered through the carport). The living and dining area shared the south zone; facing west to a monumental sandstone fireplace and east to the harbour view. This east facade included sliding glass doors opening to a viewing terrace-sundeck, which appeared (from the concept drawing) to be a sharply tilted element of the architectural composition and incorporated (in lieu of a balustrade) a 15-metre-long concrete planter box filled with shrubs.
The building was topped with a butterfly roof, flaring up to the east over the main house and west over the entrance and double carport. Alongside its box gutter, Snelling incorporated skylights and clerestory windows to transfer sunlight to the foyer and living room and to focus daylight on shrubs in a planter box along the feature wall of the carport. These panels of glass were supported and intersected by exposed timber trusses. Beside the carport was an amoeboid fishpond and Japanese garden; this was shielded from the street by a painted plywood fence and accessed from the study via a small jetty, from which occupants could feed their koi carp.
Indoor and outdoor staircases led to a photo studio, laundry and storage areas in the basement, beside a large terrace. Internal finishes included oregon ceilings with exposed beams, vertical wall panelling of shiplapped cedar, stainless steel appliances (locally made by Metters to emulate the imported Thermador models usually specified by Snelling), and various light fixtures for general and special effects. Because the owners demanded privacy, this house was not photographed or published when completed.

Nerdwriter: How Fleetwood Mac Makes A Song
A deconstruction of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams," off their masterpiece 1977 album, Rumours.

Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band, formed in London in 1967. The band have sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the world's best-selling bands. In 1998, selected members of Fleetwood Mac were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and received the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music.[5]
Fleetwood Mac were founded by guitarist Peter Green, drummer Mick Fleetwood and guitarist Jeremy Spencer. They lacked a permanent bass guitarist for the first few months before Green convinced John McVie to join, establishing the first stable line-up in time to record their self-titled debut album. Danny Kirwan joined as a third guitarist in 1969, and keyboardist Christine Perfect, who was used as a session musician starting with the second album, later married John McVie and joined the band in 1970. During this time period, the band was primarily a British blues outfit, scoring a UK number one with "Albatross";[6] and had lesser hits with the singles "Oh Well" and "Black Magic Woman". Personal problems led to original guitarists Green and Spencer leaving in short order, replaced by Bob Welch and Bob Weston. However, by 1974, Welch and Weston had both left, leaving the band without a primary male vocalist or lead guitarist.
Rumours is the eleventh studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac. Largely recorded in California during 1976, it was produced by the band with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut and was released on 4 February 1977 by Warner Bros. Records. The record reached the top of both the United States Billboard chart and the United Kingdom Albums Chart. The songs "Go Your Own Way", "Dreams", "Don't Stop", and "You Make Loving Fun" were released as singles. Rumours is Fleetwood Mac's most successful release; along with winning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1978, the album has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. Rumours has received diamond certifications in several countries, including the US, Canada, and Australia.

This short poort is located on a minor gravel road between Victoria West and Loxton. It's only just over a kilometre long and has a small altitude variance of 33m. It's a very long drive locating this little poort and only the most dedicated pass hunters will make the big effort to drive it.
To make up for its relatively unimpressive statistics, you will experience an intense of isolation and the wide and barren expanses of the Karoo always has landscapes of note to enjoy.
The usual gravel road cautionaries apply of corrugations, ruts and washaways as well as loose gravel on the corners. IT's best to expect to get a puncture. If you don't have two spare wheels, travel with a repair kit and know how to use it. A portable compressor is a useful addition to your tool kit.
This is another of those Northern Cape passes, which leaves one wondering how this ever became an official pass, as there is really not much to it all with an altitude variance of only 16m and an average gradient of 1:150, it's hardly going to get the adrenaline flowing. The countryside is however, well worth any distance you will have travelled getting there and offers space, tranquility and the most wonderful sense of timelessness that only the Karoo can offer. In addition this is the perfect area to test your navigation skills as many of the intersections are unmarked, so getting lost here is a piece of cake.
Stop next to a windmill under the shade of a thorn tree and allow the Rooihoogte to sink into your soul.
This very short and fairly minor 'pass' is nothing more than a slight bump in the flat Karoo topography and is located about midway between Fraserburg and Loxton in the Northern Cape, just off the R356 on a minor gravel road that connects the R356 with the R361. About the most exciting feature of this pass, is the tricky navigation trying to find it. This tiny little pass is not really worth seeking out and you will be disappointed with what it has to offer. It is strictly for the commited pass hunter.
Somewhere along the line, a lazy cartographer spelt the name as Amandeihoogte, which has subsequently been repeated on many maps in a typical copy/paste syndrome. This incorrect spelling makes no sense at all and we have officially confirmed on the 1:50,000 government map, that the name is Amandelhoogte. This is also the name of the farm at the northern end of the pass.
To add to the confusion, there is an Amandelnek Pass in the Tankwa Karoo, which would be bound to cause confusion.
Kiewiet Se Hoogte is a minor gravel road pass located near Loxton in the Northern Cape. "Kiewiet" is the Afrikaans name for a species of bird, originally called a plover in English, but more recently referred to as a lapwing. It is most likely that the subspecies which gave its moniker to the pass is the Blacksmith Lapwing, whose vernacular name is derived from its repeated metallic "tink, tink, tink" alarm call, reminiscent of the sound a blacksmith's hammer makes as it strikes an anvil.
An easy gravel pass with gentle gradients and rugged scenery in the heart of the Karoo on the R381, which together with the historic Molteno Pass and the small Blounek Pass, forms a trio of passes on the R381/P0058 which connects Beaufort West in the south with Loxton and the Northern Cape to the north. Two river crossings and a narrow ravine make this an interesting drive. Cautionary: The second set of bends to the left are very dangerous, with no barriers and steep drop-offs. Add very tight corners, negative banking and loose gravel and this is a receipe for a rollover down into the ravine. We recommend a speed of 30 kph through this section.
Beaufort West and its environs sport several interesting passes. Just 10 km north of the Karoo town is the 15 km long Molteno Pass - a mix of tar and gravel that ascends or descends 647 vertical metres to summit on the high plateau at 1574m. The pass connects Beaufort West with Loxton some 110km to the north.
This is a scenic drive offering a variety of landscapes to gaze on, plus it gives access to a bush camp, the Gamka Dam and the Bontebok Pass. The road follows the eastern boundary of the Karoo National Park for most of its length. It is on route R381 and it's administrative number is P0058.
Mountain Passes South Africa is a website dedicated to the research, documentation, photographing and filming of the mountain passes of South Africa.
Passes are classified according to provinces and feature a text description, Fact File including GPS data, a fully interactive dual-view map and a narrated YouTube video.
We are as passionate about maps as we are about mountain passes. A good map is a thing of beauty that can transport you into the mists of time or get your sense of adventure churning. It is a place to make discoveries about deserts and seas, mountains and lakes; of roads leading into places you have not been before; a place to pore over holiday destinations or weekend camping trips. A map is your window to the world.

I have a raster that I want to clip to a county boundary (no data outside county). It is a stretched NDVI tif, so the values of the raster are 0-255. I tried using the Con function, but it produced an output raster with values from 6 to 66500-ish. I determined that what would work is the raster Clip tool and checking the 'Use Input Features for Clipping Geometry' box. The results are fine -- no data outside the county, correct values inside the county -- EXCEPT that the extent of the output raster is the extent of the county polygon, and I want it to be a different, larger extent (so as to be the same size as other raster datasets).
The Python Snippet comes out like this:
# Replace a layer/table view name with a path to a dataset (which can be a layer file) or create the
# layer/table view within the script.
# The following inputs are layers or table views: "...a.tif", "...b.shp"
arcpy.Clip_management(in_raster="...a.tif", rectangle="677439.999999999 3721040 678360.000000007 3722960", out_raster="...c.tif", in_template_dataset="b.shp", nodata_value="256", clipping_geometry="ClippingGeometry", maintain_clipping_extent="NO_MAINTAIN_EXTENT")
I can replace all the dataset arguments with variables:
theInRaster = ...a.tif
theCntyShp = ...b.shp
theOutRaster = ...c.tif
arcpy.Clip_management(in_raster= theInRaster",
rectangle="677439.999999999 3721040 678360.000000007 3722960",
nodata_value="256", clipping_geometry="ClippingGeometry",
Now, I want the rectangle argument to be equal to the extent of clip.tif. I tried setting the arcpy.env.extent to clip.tif and leaving the rectangle argument blank (""), but it went to the smaller extent of the polygon. So, I need to actually put 'something' in the rectangle coordinates. I tried setting theExtent to several things:
theExtent = arcpy.env.extent and then rectangle = theExtent #crashed ArcGIS completely
theExtentRaster = ...clip.tif and then rectangle = theExtentRaster #crashed ArcGIS completely
theDesc = arcpy.Describe(theExtentRaster)
theExtent = theDesc.extent and then rectangle = theExtent
theDesc = arcpy.Describe(theExtentRaster)
theExtent = theDesc.extent and then rectangle = theExtent
theExtentString = str(theExtent.XMin) + ' ' + str(theExtent.YMin) + ' ' + str(theExtent.XMax) + ' ' + str(theExtent.YMax) and then rectangle = theExtentString
and also trying adding either single quotes or double quotes to theExtentString
all result in this error:
ExecuteError: ERROR 000622: Failed to execute (Clip). Parameters are not valid. ERROR 000628: Cannot set input into parameter rectangle.
So, clearly, there is SOME OTHER WAY to define the rectangle. I'm hoping someone out there can help.... Thanks.

CHELSEA are close to offloading Alvaro Morata to AC Milan on loan, with Gonzalo Higuain moving to Stamford Bridge.
The Spaniard has flopped in the Premier League, unable to live up to his billing as No1 striker at Stamford Bridge since his £65million summer switch from Real Madrid in 2017.
Morata, 26, has scored just seven goals this season – and only five have been in the Premier League.
And Blues boss Maurizio Sarri has lost patience with Spanish international who has seen winger Eden Hazard preferred to him as the focal point of Chelsea's attack.
Morata is also being chased by Sevilla who flogged striker Luis Muriel to Fiorentina.
But an escape route back to Italy looks the likeliest outcome for the Spaniard who has failed to light up the English top flight.
Latest Chelsea News
Sarri wanted to link up with Higuain when he took over at the Blues last summer.
However, the Juventus striker was farmed out on loan to Milan to make way for Cristiano Ronaldo.
But Sarri could finally get his wish of working with the striker he sold to Juve in 2016.
The Italian coach has made it clear to the club he wants to beef up his attack to maintain their push for a top-four in the second half of the campaign.
Morata and Olivier Giroud have bagged a paltry six goals between them in the top flight this year.
And the need for attacking reinforcements is a priority in this month's window after Wednesday's blank at home to struggling Southampton.
Once the clubs agree terms, Higuain's parent club Juve will have to rubber-stamp the deal with a potential option of making the move permanent in the summer.

Stockholm (NordSIP) – Sweden's cluster of AP buffer pension funds has been forging ahead with sustainable progressive investments, an overview from Investments & Pensions Europe finds.
- AP2, which, as NordSIP has reported, has just invested USD 50 million in The Rise Fund, a private equity fund managed by TPG Growth which is aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and whose purpose is to achieve quantifiably positive social and environmental outcomes alongside competitive financial returns, allocated 1% of its AUM to green bonds in 2016, making that asset class integral to its overall investment strategy. It is also continuing its investments in green and social bonds managed within its existing bond portfolio, with SEK 5.3 billion currently invested in green holdings.
- AP3, IPE reports, had reduced its carbon footprint by 25% by the end of 2016, having set four guidelines covering carbon emissions, green bonds, green buildings and strategic sustainable investing. It claims its portfolio is now carbon neutral, due partly to investments in timberland, and it exercises active management to encourage investees to improve their own carbon footprints. AP3 has doubled investments in green bonds from SEK 4.5 billion in 2015 to SEK 9.5 billion, with plans to increase this to SEK 15 billion by 2018. AP3, as one of Sweden's largest real estate investors, is also pioneering green buildings through energy saving and sustainable materials.
"We believe we can get the same returns from green bonds as from regular bonds," according to Mårten Lindeborg, CIO and Deputy Chief Executive of AP3. "We would also like to make the market larger, and more transparent. There needs to be a standardised list of criteria for labelling green bonds so that investors can evaluate their sustainability."
- AP4 has also established a global low carbon strategies platform, consisting of three internally and three externally managed low carbon mandates, with 24% of its global equity portfolio presently invested in low carbon strategies. The fund has shifted towards corporates and financials from sovereign, supranational and agency bonds in the green bond space. AP4 has also developed "ECOBAR", a system to measure and manage CO2 exposure across its credit portfolio. The fund's strategy is to explicitly engage through corporate governance to safeguard shareholder value, including areas covering strategy, sustainability, board composition, capital structure, compensation and transparency. It also participates in nomination committees, which review issues like increased diversity on company boards, gender equality and effective board assessments.
"We believe sustainability is key, and a necessity for long term return performance," says Pia Axelsson, AP4's senior manager for corporate governance and communications. "In many economies, bank financing is the prevalent form of financing rather than capital markets, and the development of more bank issuance in the green space is viewed quite positively." On CSR, Ms Axelsson maintains that "to be successful, dialogues are conducted with mutual trust between the parties and not, for example, through the media."

(REUTERS) - Manchester City's out-of-favour goalkeeper Joe Hart is keen to join Serie A club Torino on a season-long loan deal, media reports said on Monday.
England's first-choice keeper has been left out of City's opening three Premier League matches of the season and new manager Pep Guardiola has said that Hart can leave if he wants.
Guardiola is determined to start moves at the back with a goalkeeper who is "able to play with the ball".
City and Torino are discussing Hart's possible loan move, according to media reports.
Torino sporting director Gianluca Petrachi was quoted as saying: "The goalkeeper is an idea we wanted to follow.
"If it's Hart then good, otherwise we will certainly be doing something on the market for that role."
Torino, who finished 12th in the league last season, have started the new campaign by taking three points from their first two games.

Hi all,
I recently purchased some Verbatim 4.7 GB DVDs from Amazon.com. I've been downloading various ISOs & doing backups etc. but I've had some issues.
First off, I don't really understand how Mastered/Live File System work...
If you truly can use any DVD like a USB drive, what is the point of a DVD-RW? Why do they even exist? Is it just marketing?
I just downloaded the Windows 10 ISO and tried extracting it to one of the DVDs (formatted with Live File System)...it seemed to work fine, but I apparently forgot to press 'Finish burning data to DVD' or something in Windows, so when I tried to boot from the disc it didn't work.
When I loaded Windows, it showed 0 bytes free & no data on the disc.
So, I figured I'd just redo the extraction. I loaded 7zip and selected the ISO, but when I began extracting to the disc it gave me errors such as "Cannot open file H:\*" with some filename after it. (H:\ is the DVD drive).
I figured maybe some data WAS put on the DVD when I first extracted it, but possibly was corrupt due to me not finalizing the burn. I tried to format the disc, but it came back saying ~ 400 MB free.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? Have I ruined the disc? It's not that big of a deal, they were like 20 cents each, but I don't want to waste any more.

You have to burn ISO files to a DVD using an appropriate program, such as ImgBurn. You can't just extract the files to a DVD and expect it to be bootable. Forget about what file system is used - it will be whatever was used to create the ISO image.
Use ImgBurn - it just works.
The difference between DVD-R and RW is that you each time you burn onto a DVD-R the space reduces until it is full and can no longer be written to. DVD-RW allows you to erase files and gain the space, although they are generally considered less reliable because of the re-burning.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
OK, I'll try out ImgBurn...why is it that you can't just extract the files? What happens when you 'burn' it that is different?
So basically when Microsoft says you can use it as a flash drive, it just means that you can add more files to it after you burn some to it.
User Info Page Biography for full specs.
Ah, I think I understand now, by formatting the disc with either Mastered or Live File System it adds some files (directory, journal, etc.) which prevent the drive from being bootable.
User Info Page Biography for full specs.
No, it's not added files. It's what isn't put on the disk (boot sector etc.). An ISO file is an image of a bootable DVD. ImgBurn copies this sector by sector, producing a perfect copy of the image with everything in the same place and everything copied.
Re #3
I have unzipped Linux bootable CD's then burnt the extracted folders and files onto disk and gotten away with it. Best use ImgBurn though, it is made for the job and very easy to use. Most burner software (such as Nero) has a "burn an image" or "burn an ISO" feature.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
Pay attention when installing ImgBurn. Make sure to uncheck the boxes so that none of the bundled crapware is installed.

Performance management software vendor, Concord, has appointed a channel manager to help expand its presence in the local market.
Rod Moore, previously a sales manager for HP, has the task of improving productivity through existing resellers and adding new partners to the model.
Currently, Concord operates a two-pronged strategy with its products used by service providers like Telstra and Unisys as well as being sold by Concord Authorised Resellers (CARs).
The only CARs in the Australian market are Dimension Data, Logical, IPM and VOIP but Concord regional sales manager, Peter Martin, said the vendor was keen to add more.
"It is better to have quality than quantity but we would like to expand that number," he said.
"We are looking for large systems integrators but could also partner with ERP vendors. A lot of products are becoming commoditised but Concord adds value and can help to drive more margins."
The US-based vendor – that focuses on applications, systems and networks software – has its Asia-Pacific headquarters in North Sydney and another office in Melbourne.
Martin estimated that 50 per cent of Concord business in Australia goes through the channel but said Europe was one of the vendor's more successful operations and does 80 per cent of its business indirectly.
"We need to make sure the value proposition is understood by our partners and user base alike," Martin said. "Concord needs better brand awareness."

Among the advantages is that you do not need/do not depend on any external utilities. Your workflow is very straightforward and simple. In case of bugs you have only one dependency: that from the author. No-one else needed to upgrade or patch and then rebuild the external utilities. The fonts used in TikZ/PGF are exactly the same as used in LaTeX. It cannot happen that by using am encoded LaTeX font of the same name the text in the asy picture is also re-encoded – and may read something different. Similarly when you decide to save some trees and reduce the font size from 12pt to 11pt or less. With TikZ/PGF you do not have to change anything, other graphics packages are less flexible.

They work, but Inkscape, for example, is a bit of a monster to use and the manual is dreadful.

Time Shares: A Good Deal or a Bad Deal? The following article was written by Daniel Goldstein, Personal finance Reporter for MarketWatch.
Timeshare vacation plans have been around in the U.S. since 1969 — the first opened in Kauai, Hawaii — and they generated $8.6 billion in annual sales in 2015, up 9% from a year ago, according to the American Resort Development Association (ARDA) which represents many timeshare developments.
For some people, timeshares are a good option and about one out of every 12 Americans (7.9%) owned one in 2014, up from 7.2% in 2012, ARDA says. Timeshares can guarantee you vacation time since they often come with fixed annual dates for right-of-use. On top of that, timeshare resorts typically offer larger accommodations (often two bedrooms or more) and more in-room amenities, such as kitchens and washing machines, than a hotel room. Timeshare owners can also "exchange" their shares for accommodations at other resorts around the world.
ARDA says that the image of timeshare owners as elderly seniors playing shuffleboard has changed too, with timeshare owners becoming younger and more ethnically diverse with a median age of 39 for owners, and more than 40% of U.S. owners either African-American or Hispanic. Nearly three-quarters of owners have college degrees and 23% have graduate degrees, and have a median income of nearly $95,000, ARDA says.
Timeshares have also been huge profit centers for hotel companies. Before it agreed to be bought by Bethesda, Md.-based Marriott, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide had sold more than $6 billion in vacation timeshare properties to more than 220,000 owners over the past 30 years.
Shortly before the merger with Marriott, Starwood planned to spin off its timeshare business with more than $923 million in annual revenue as a separate company to be known as Vistana, but it was bought by Miami-based Interval Leisure Group for $1.5 billion in October 2015.
Interval Leisure Group said in the announcement it had more than 280,000 timeshare owners and annual revenue of more than $670 million.
But timeshares are also associated with high-pressure sales tactics that get mocked relentlessly in pop culture and they're often sold at a loss when it comes time to unload one. Plus, they come with annual maintenance fees that can easily top several thousand dollars and which often increase each year whether you use the timeshare or not.
"You were told to close the deal and tell them whatever you had to tell them," said Dana Micallef, a former timeshare salesman who spent a week in 2000 in Orlando selling before quitting in what he said was disgust at the process. "Dress it up (as an investment) and promise them world that they can resell it, when the chances of selling it are slim to none."
Micallef, 40, now runs a company called American Consumer Credit in Ormond
Beach, Fla. which he started in 2004 to help people get out of their timeshare
obligations. Now that he's on the other side of the table, he "was finally able
to tell (timeshare owners) the truth," he said.
Don't pay full price:
Nevertheless, considering how many options you have when it comes to vacations, you've got the leverage when it comes to price. As such, timeshare companies like to offer free gifts like dinners and show tickets, or free "try-it-out" rentals to prospective buyers.
Andy Doran, a now 44 year-old scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, Calif. recalls taking a timeshare company up on its offer for a free Las Vegas vacation if he and his fiancée attended a presentation across the Bay from their Berkeley home in Burlingame, a San Francisco suburb. "It was a traumatic couple of hours of hard, hard, hard sell," he said in an interview. "We managed to exit with the coupon and no timeshare, but we never cashed it in," he said.
Often the "hard-sell" approach from some timeshare companies is because they have so much competition and sales and marketing costs are so high, sometimes as high as 55%, says Gary Prado, director of marketing and business development for RedWeek.com, a timeshare sales and rental site. "The reason why timeshares continually get mocked is the way they get sold," he said. "People don't go out and say, 'I want to buy a timeshare today', it's sold as a heavy impulse buy," he said.
Moreover, single site resorts have to spend more to attract buyers than name brands like Marriott (which recently bought the Starwood brands), Hyatt and Hilton. "We're a sold good, not a sought good," said Howard Nusbaum, the president of ARDA says. "People love the product but hate the (sales) process."
Micallef, however, disagrees, saying his experience is that about eight of every 10 clients he sees looking to unload their property have actually never used their timeshare.
Know what you are actually buying:
It's also important to know what kind of real estate interest you actually own when you purchase a timeshare. In about 95% of timeshare sales in the U.S. you'll actually get a deed to a property, called a "timeshare estate" under state law, which often means you can rent the share out, sell it or exchange it, and pass it on to your heirs. "It's like any other deed in real estate," says ARDA's Nusbaum. "You can hold it in perpetuity," he said, though you have to pay the maintenance fees each year, just like property taxes. In addition, if you don't make your payments, the timeshare company can foreclose, Nusbaum warns.
Most others outside the U.S. (such as in Mexico) are simply known as "timeshre licenses" or "memberships" which typically only give you a "right-to-use" for only as long as the contract permits and can have other restrictions. In addition, if you sign a contract outside the U.S. for a timeshare in another country, you will not be protected by U.S. laws.
Finally, if you are buying a timeshare in an unfinished property, the Federal Trade Commission recommends that money should be placed in an escrow account registered to a local bank until the property is completed and include a "non-performance" clause in the sales contract. That way, the timeshare developer goes bankrupt or defaults before the property and unit are finished, you can get your money back, the FTC says.
In addition, besides the regular maintenance fees each year, there can be often
special assessments. One shocked group of several thousand timeshare owners in
Kauai, Hawaii found themselves on the hook for nearly $5,800 in special
assessment maintenance fees one year, on top of their $1,400 in annual fees,
when the resort owner, Diamond Resorts International, said in 2011 the resort on
Poipu Beach would have to be virtually rebuilt for $65 million because of water
In addition, if you do buy a timeshare, be aware that some states have stronger rights of rescission than others, and timeshare companies are well aware which are weaker. Be wary of any company that requires you to sign the contract documents in a different state than where you plan to buy as you may be entering into a contract in a state that has fewer protections.
If you opt out, the FTC recommends you send a letter via certified mail or
hand-delivered with a signed receipt. In addition, be sure to keep records of
any correspondence and who you talked with, the FTC says.
Beware of scams:
Very often the company on the other end of the phone will collect hundreds or even thousands of dollars in so-called "deed transfer" or "marketing" fees but then never complete the "sale," said Micaleff. "They promise you to stop the bleeding, but those are all scams," he said. The Federal Trade Commission, along with states like Florida, in recent years have cracked down on timeshare resale scams and the FTC offers guidelines on how not to be taken in when you want to unload your timeshare.
Micaleff said he's been able to help consumers unwind their sales, typically looking for errors in the sales process or contract. "There's a million laws they break on a regular basis" during the sales pitch and buying process, he said. But his service isn't cheap, typically costing between $1,800 and $3,400 depending on the number of timeshares the client owns.
Still, Micaleff says most timeshare companies prefer to release individual owners out of their contract rather than go to court and risk losing. "They'd rather avoid the embarrassment and releasing the client is easier," he said.
It isn't a real-estate investment:
