See what clients have to say about the value of our reports!
"I purchased a report from Coastal Risk before even making an offer on a lovely riverfront home in North Carolina. Their comprehensive flood risk report helped me decide that the house was a safe investment for me and my family."
-David Friedman, Winton, NC
"I called Coastal Risk Consulting as part of my due diligence for the purchase of a piece of land on the Eastern coast of Florida because I was very concerned about the possibility of flooding. The Coastal Risk Rapid Assessment™ report I received greatly exceeded my expectations. It was very thorough, helpful, and made it easy to move forward in this $2 million sale. I found this company to be very helpful and responsive. I would recommend Coastal Risk to anyone who is buying, insuring, or funding any piece of property!"
-Diana Goulet, Commercial Real Estate Buyer
"Coastal Risk's future in my view is truly limitless on a Global scope. Your reports and oversight comments helped me quantify the relevant time frames on sea level rise for our three condo properties. This fact based horizon is quite impressive, of course, subject to the projections into the future grounded in scientific research of provable indicators."
Larry Rentz, Former NFL Player and Coral Gables Football Legend
"Grey Door Luxury Homes is a designer and builder of high end residential homes in South Florida. A number of our properties are built on the Inter-Coastal and, it is imperative that we design our homes using accurate flood prediction models. Coastal Risk team, its models and succinct, but comprehensive, reports provided everything we need. We see this as a valuable and differentiating part of our business model and one that gives our clients added confidence when buying one of our homes on South Florida waterways."
Stanley Young, President, Grey Door Luxury Homes
"Duke Properties is a provider of world-class service in the property management business. Having had personal experiences with Superstorm Sandy, we wanted our clients to understand their flooding risks and be prepared. Our management used Coastal Risk's innovative flood and storm models on our private residences. Understanding the value to us, personally, we are now integrating flood prediction modeling into our business processes. Additionally, the staff at Coastal Risk is very knowledgeable and responsive and will take the time needed to explain the model results and discuss cost-effective, adaptation options. This is an exciting new product for the property management industry, which will help us make more informed decisions in the future as climate changes."
Albert Dweck, President, Duke Properties
"I received the FIRST Score assessment from Coastal Risk Consulting. The report presents very professionally and I am happy with the results. It does make me think about adding a 1-2 foot stem wall to any construction I may plan. Current guidelines do not dictate that, but 20-30 years from now it might affect resale. Thanks for introducing me to what you are doing!"
Florida Gulf Coast Property Owner
"My property of 55-acres in Boca was in a flood zone. But, with Coastal Risk's Rapid Assessment, I was able to show my buyers that the future flood risk potential for the property was low. I will certainly recommend and use CRC in all future real estate transactions. It has changed my way of analyzing value."
Rae Kotler, President, Boca Raton Executive Golf Club Corp.
"After Hurricane Sandy, I was really worried about my property on Long Beach Island, NJ. Despite the immense pleasure our family derives from the house, thoughts of constant flooding and aggravation forced me to consider selling the property. Thanks to the assessment by Coastal Risk Consulting, I was reassured that our property sits on high ground and is at relatively low risk of flooding over the next two decades. The CRC report provided me with the peace of mind I needed to continue to enjoy and invest in our house. I will definitely recommend CRC to my friends and neighbors. Thanks again for providing the report."
-David A. Paul, MD, Chair, Department of Pediatrics, Christiana Care Health System

Prologue – Doodlebug, Doodlebug, Your House is on Fire
As Ann and I sit in the courtroom of the Buncombe County Courthouse listening to the attorneys questioning and selecting potential jurors for the trial of the man who is accused of murdering my family in nineteen forty, my mind drifts back over the past twenty four years, beginning when I was just three years of age. Today, I try, with mixed results, to recall memories of my family.
To some extent, I recall my father, a school principal and teacher, sitting at the kitchen table studying his Sunday school lesson, and I recall his smell, not a smell of shaving lotion, but a sort of a musty, but not unpleasant odor. In my mind's eye, I can see him sitting me on his lap, with his beard rough against my skin.
Memories of my mother are of her holding me close, her softness, and her kisses, but I most remember her scent as she always smelled cinnamon sweet. And as I see her in my memories, she is in the kitchen. My last vibrant memory of her is me crawling into bed with her the morning of that last day she was alive, when she cuddled me close, kissed me, and called me her "little man".
After my mother, I probably best remember my four-year-old sister Jessie. She was, even to a three year old, different. I knew she was special in that she often seemed to be in a world of her own, but at the same time jumping rope, playing, and singing, but even then sometimes with a blank and faraway look in her eyes.
Memories of my other brothers and sisters are not as clear, but I can see their faces and remember little things we did together.
As I sit here I think of my grandparents, both now departed, who took me into their home and raised me from a three year old until I graduated from high school and joined the Navy. They became parents to me and always treated me as their son.
I best remember that beautiful ninth-grade girl who, now my wife, sits beside me in this courtroom today, and has stood with me since I fell in love with her when we first met in nineteen fifty-one.
These twenty-four years I am remembering my growing up, falling in love, and marrying. And I think of my wife and me searching together for the men who murdered my family.
In just a few days a trial will begin and a verdict will be rendered that I hope will relieve me the trauma of this ordeal that has haunted me these twenty four years.

This is either a step in the right direction or a fluke. It seems that the HTC Evo 3D has something that past Sprint devices lack: the ability to simply uninstall bloatware programs that come with the device. You don't even need to root the darn thing. It's as simple as going into Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, select the app that you want to get rid of, and Uninstall. Yeah, it's really that simple.
Now, this could mean that HTC and Sprint have heard their customers' complaints about bloatware and are now making the programs optional, or it could be that HTC just forgot to disable this feature on the Evo 3D before releasing it. Personally, I'm going with the first one. So, if you've gotten your Evo 3D already, and you don't want that blasted Nascar app, just uninstall it. Any of our readers tried this method yet? Surprised that HTC and Sprint allowed bloatware to be removed without root? Sound off in the comments below or on our Facebook Wall!

No Snow Please
Drug Withdrawal
Youtube and other computer glitches…
Every time I touch something lately it goes crazy. I finally got youtube.com working and guess what, I also have a channel with 3 followers. I had to buy a kindle book to see if this is something I can do. Well I can do it, I can do whatever I want, I just have to have the gumption and be in the mood.
The one thing is that I am manic and full into this tonight. Tomorrow I might say forget it because right now I haven't the faintest idea what I am doing. I do not like the background, but everything I picked would fit on the different screens. What is there is hopefully changeable because I am not thrilled with it.
Had to trouble shoot in the beginning again since it would let me comment again. I wonder if I have another virus on here. I have virus protection and they still found virus' on it. It was working good for awhile and now it is acting up again.
I will be gone the end of April. I am going to my grandson's boot camp graduation at Parris Island, SC. I am in NJ. Pretty far ride. We have our room booked already in Beaufort. Wait too long and there won't be a room.
My withdrawal headaches are still here. My body seems to be still looking for the Cymbalta, but it isn't getting it. In one week I will be starting the next medicine to withdraw from. This one should be easier. At least I hope so.
It is getting late and I am still trying to figure out channels on youtube.

Withdrawal, Dentist and Life in General
Hi friends, miss you guys. Withdrawal and a serious dental problem at the same time has been a lot of fun, NOT! My pain level is a 15 out of 1/10. I am just finally starting to feel better and the pain level is coming down. I am able to eat things that aren't completely soft finally.
Been thinking about my ex-husband and our lives and think I have finally forgiven us both for the disaster of the marriage. The Lord boomed it out to me in my room and flustered me at first. VENGEANCE IS MINE, SAYETH THE LORD!!
It is not my job to punish either of us for what happened. Problem now is that I find myself wanting my marriage back. Not sure how real that is. I just might be lonely as my son has suggested. AND there has been no indication the ex wants to start over so it is mainly in my head right now. Besides we can't go back to when things were better. I enjoyed having babies and being a military wife.
Still have pills to withdraw from. Be around when I can.

Year: 2014
Genre: Depressive Black Metal
Country: Canada
Track List
- Torn Inside
- Then I Began Marching Towards An Extinct Race
- Lay Deceased Under a Full Moon
- Tragedy
In keeping with my Canadian theme, another cool artist from up here goes by the name of Vorbkt. It's a solo project and produced by someone from out in Newfoundland. It's your usual DSBM music but simply just done well. Vorbkt has more recent releases, including a split with Cult of Mourning but this one is by far my favourite. I spoke to them once via reddit and they seem pretty cool.
For fans of raw DSBM, 'Tragedy' is a great release to add to your collection.

Jacqueline and Eemahn
It all began our junior year of high school at Loyola Academy…he played on the ice hockey team with my brother and cousin so we knew of each other, but we actually met in Ms. Thomas' British Literature class. We were just friends for about a year, and he would walk me to and from my AP art class and then to my car after school every single day. Everything changed when it came time for senior year homecoming. He asked, and I of course accepted and on that homecoming night we ended up at the Adler Planetarium on the lakefront. It was there that we had our first kiss! I went away to college in Minnesota and he went for a time to Boston for a doctorate program. He stuck by me for three years of stressful law school too but 10 years later, Eemahn asked me to be his wife at this same exact spot we had our first kiss! He had tricked me and said we were going to his work event. I honestly did not think I would be able to make it due to this trial I had been helping on, however he convinced to "come for just 45 minutes."
We were walking along the lakefront to the planetarium when he pointed out a brown bag that was bundled up on ground. I told him not to touch it and that it looked like garbage…he did anyways. He tore at the paper and red roses popped out. It was at that moment that I realized what Eemahn was up to. It was perfect and beautiful in every way. Our friend Mike, the "secret photographer", captured the entire proposal. When I thought I couldn't be happier, Eemahn surprised me again by having both of our families waiting for us at a beautiful downtown restaurant afterwards. We are so excited to be currently planning our multicultural wedding that incorporates our Persian, Mexican and Irish heritages!

The first two weeks of August were spent on family slash birding holiday in Israel. It is an amazing country and it actually is possibly to combine both birding and family in a reasonably way – 'cause the distances are short, birds are abundant and locals are eager to give advice.
I was informed by Yoav Perlman about the Pink-backed Pelican lingering at Ein Harod just 45 minutes' drive from where we stayed. I got permission to use an afternoon looking for the bird. Yoav pointed me to some fishponds in the area where the bird had been seen lately. A pelican on a fish pond – it should be easy…
But when I got there were tons of ponds and they couldn't been checked from the road. But I got permission from people working there to enter the area. Hundreds of Grey Herons, Black and White Storks, Little Egrets, returning shore birds, Black Francolins… what a cool place except for the heat.
But I couldn't find any pelicans. But out of nowhere a guy comes and tells me that the bird sought after by so many before me was last seen further east in the Nahal Herod area. So I hurried over there and started looking. But there are hundreds of fishponds in the area. So it wasn't easy.
But finally I found some Great White Pelicans and among them there was a dwarf pelican – it looked like it was half the size of less. YES, the pinky was found.
But it wasn't easy to get closer to the bird as it was in a different section of the fishpond system than me. But after 15 minutes I found an open road and got permission from a friendly local to enter the area.
And the work paid of. The Pink-backed Pelican had decided to spend the night just next to the road – and didn't care about a car stopping close by. So as the sun set I got to enjoy a lifer.
Another day was used at lake Agamon in the Hula Valley. There you can rent golf cars and have a nice and family-friendly drive around the lake. And when driving you can get really close to many birds.
Along the drive birds like Black-shouldered Kite, White-throated Kingfisher, Spur-winged Lapwings, Clamourous Reed Warbler, White-throated and Pied Kingfishers and much more.
Migration was slowly staring with White Storks arriving and a single Common Crane was also around. But the highlight were four Marbled Teal seen from the northern watch tower.
A visit to Golan and Gamla gave a few Griffon Vultures, a Bonelli's Eagle and what the local rangers called a genuine Wild Cat. It surely looked wild…
Just before we were heading home new came that the young Bateluer seen earlier in the summer had been relocated. Gert Ottens was helpful about details about were the bird was last seen. So the same day as we were flying out I gave it a shot.
After four hours of searching I located it in the distance west of Gal'on. It was foraging with 4 Snake-eagles and a Hobby, 2 Steppe Buzzards and a Sparrow hawk was also around. It was visible for about 10 minutes before flying north. Due to the distance my pictures of it was worthless, but a Short-toed Snake eagle decided to give amazing views on a pole just next to the road, so I was happy anyways.

Prenatal Diagnosis of Congenital Heart Disease in Infants
Study Questions:
How well can we diagnose congenital heart defects (CHDs) prenatally in the United States? Are some geographical locales better than others? Which CHDs are more prone to be "missed"?
The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Congenital Heart Surgery Database from 2006-2012 was used to identify all first CHD operations in patients <6 months of age. The prenatal detection rate (PDR) was evaluated according to type of CHD, geographic locale, and presence of associated aneuploidy, syndrome, or extracardiac defects.
The PDR was 43% in approximately 17,000 neonates and 24% in approximately 14,000 infants who met inclusion criteria, with an overall PDR of approximately 34%, which increased from 26% in 2006 to 42% in 2012. The highest PDR was for single-ventricle lesions (hypoplastic left heart syndrome: 67%) and those associated with abnormal four-chamber views, while the lowest was for total anomalous pulmonary venous return (9%). PDR increased in the presence of extracardiac abnormalities. There was geographic variability in PDR, ranging from approximately 24% in the South Central United States (Department of Health and Human Services Region 6) to approximately 46% in the Mid-Atlantic (Region 3).
The authors concluded that PDR varies by CHD type and geographic locale. The majority of patients that require heart surgery in the first 6 months of life elude prenatal detection.
It is fortuitous that the more critical forms of CHD requiring neonatal intervention have a higher PDR, which is not surprising, as single-ventricle defects may be detectable by the four-chamber view. The addition of outflow tract views to basic obstetric (OB) ultrasound screening protocols will likely increase referrals for fetal echocardiography and subsequently improve PDRs, as evidenced by steadily increased trends over time. Low prenatal CHD detection rates and significant geographical variability across the United States suggest that there are opportunities for betterment. Improving OB ultrasound screening skills and increasing access to fetal echocardiography especially in rural areas may help increase PDR for CHD. This may improve patient outcomes in theory, although its true potential impact is not known.

OK, this is Hagerstown's big weekend to shine, so press that line mister. Shine those shoes, hike up those britches, straighten that cap and get rid of that pledge pin.
I'm a little nervous. After all, they estimate 50,000 spectators and 10,000 re-enactors will show up to watch the Battle of Antietam re-fought with blank cartridges.
We all hope they're blanks. They have a rule against "live ammunition" on the battlefield during the 135th anniversary re-enactment. Seriously. It's sort of like the "No running with the scissors" rule we're all familiar with from home.

Since then, I've been increasingly interested in everyone's different preferences when it comes to exercise.
I've mentioned before that Weston is a runner. He finds a quick 7 miles "relaxing". When I run, I feel like every stride just gets me one step closer to my death haha, that is only a slight exaggeration. Less dramatically... running is just not for me.
But yoga I love. Yoga I can do.
Not super well yet.. but it challenges me to improve, which is one of the reasons I love it!
I like my practices at home to be energizing, challenging, and refreshing. A gradual warm up, increased heart rate and some strength building in the middle, and a calm ending before my favorite pose - savasana. ;)
I try to put my playlists in that order to keep things flowin' smoothly.
Even if you aren't into yoga at all, these are some good jamz. Give 'em a listen!
So tell me - what is your favorite way to exercise?
And more importantly - what do you listen to during your workouts?!
I'm really (strangely?) curious about this one, so I hope you'll share, haha.
Keep those endorphins pumpin', people! ;)

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- A former U.S. prosecutor at Guantanamo Bay says he resigned because he suspected the government was withholding evidence that would assist the defense.
Army Lt. Col. Darrel Vandeveld told the Los Angeles Times in an e-mail that he was alarmed at the conduct of the trials of suspected terrorists and hoped reforms would be made.
"Our enemies deserve nothing less than what we would expect from them were the situations reversed," Vandeveld said. "More than anything, I hope we can rediscover some of our American values."
The Times said Sunday it swapped some e-mails with Vandeveld until he was reminded by the Pentagon that he was not authorized to speak to the media while still on active duty.
Vandeveld's superior, Col. Lawrence Morris, denied Vandeveld's allegations that evidence was withheld from the defense in some cases and also called his criticisms of the tribunal process "unfair."

Our heroes begin to head south from the frontier to explore the plains west of the forest. Their first day in the region they discover an ancient grave site, protected by a skeleton and cryptic riddles. Inside our heroes find the remains of some type of ancient ruler, crown atop his head, a magical ax and ring in his possession though few other accouterments survived. Later our heroes rediscover the den of the ogres, Aesca Cyndred may have done something with their remains, we don't yet know. On their final night of exploring the, strangely empty, plains the first watch spots a fire on the western edge of the forest. Further investigation leads the party to a hot spring invested with giant aggressive frogs, though Bastion was nearly killed by Parthinia the frogs were killed and the party earned the favor of Tyg-Titter-Tut and Perlivash, two faires of the forest, who then impart a great deal of strange information to the heroes. However several of the party note Bastions enthusiasm for swimming in the lake or rather swimming at all after he volunteered to be bait with only Max's armor and the ring from the crypt as protection.
Crown worth 30g
Gold Goblet and plate 25g
Battle ax +2 damage
Wood Rings – depicts an eel and a frog locked in a tangle, seems to drastically increase swimming speed and is currently stuck in Bastion's finger.

A year later, much has changed, but at the same time little seems to have changed. Mubarak is out but the military is in. Women are still harassed. Photos and videos suggest that the streets of Cairo still have plenty of litter to go around. Schools are in session, people are trying to get jobs, and the economic uncertainty that plagued 25% of the population before the revolution is still there, seeming as steady as the pyramids.
2011 was quite a year for Egyptians and those of us who care about them. It was quite a year for the Arab world in general. But the one-year mark is not the end. There's still lots of work to be done. Keep hoping, keep praying, keep sending good vibes out into the universe--Egypt and its neighbors are on the cusp of possibility. May they move forward into 2012 with grace and peace and justice.

Oct. 24 — A federal appeals court denied a petition Oct. 24 to vacate the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's Hazard Communication Standard as it applies to combustible dust.
The petitioners argued that the Hazard Communication Standard—a final rule—should be vacated because OSHA failed to give adequate notice that combustible dust would be included in the rule and that combustible dust should instead be addressed in a pending rulemaking on the subject. They also told a three-member panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that the final rule was unconstitutionally vague because it failed to define "combustible dust."
The petitioners, which include the National Oilseed Processors Association, the Corn Refiners Association, the National Grain and Feed Association and the American Feed Industry Association, argued that they hadn't received adequate notice from OSHA that combustible dust from grain would be among the items included in the Hazard Communication Standard.
It wasn't mentioned in the 2006 advance notice of proposed rulemaking, the petitioners argued. Since combustible dust had been regulated since 1987 by the grain handling standard, the petitioners said, they couldn't have anticipated that it would be addressed in this final rule.
The groups represent companies involved in grain handling as part of their agricultural and industrial operations, including Archer Daniels Midland Co., Cargill Inc., Southern States Cooperative Inc. and Perdue AgriBusiness LLC.
Government lawyers, in a brief filed June 5, argued that the grain handling groups know what combustible dust is—even absent a specific definition—for the purpose of complying with OSHA's grain handling standard and that the agency's proposed hazard communication standard explicitly discussed combustible dust, and stakeholders submitted comments both for and against that proposal.
Writing for the panel, Judge Judith W. Rogers disagreed with the petitioners, noting that combustible dust was addressed in OSHA's 2009 notice of proposed rulemaking.
Rogers added that OSHA had issued interpretive letters saying that its standard would cover grain and other agricultural products as far back as 1986. In 1994, she wrote, OSHA rejected the grain industry's argument that grain dust shouldn't be covered by the Hazard Communication Standard.
The petitioners also argued that, statutorily, rules on combustible dust should be covered under a pending rulemaking on the subject rather than in the Hazard Communication Standard because there is as yet no clear definition of what constitutes combustible dust. Existing standards from OSHA and private industry are inconsistent and haven't been reconciled by rulemaking, the petitioners argued.
The judge disagreed, saying that OSHA has supported an "operative definition" of dust in its National Emphasis Program on combustible dust.
"The various government and industry definitions of combustible dust are not as different as petitioners suggest: each definition, with varying phrasing, refers similarly to particles that may explode under certain conditions."
Because, in the court's view, there is a "general consensus" on what constitutes combustible dust, OSHA could have reasonably concluded that it didn't need to spell out a uniform definition in its final rule.
Rejecting the petitioners' claim that OSHA's final rule is unconstitutionally vague, Judge Rogers said the rule, as well as a guidance document issued in 2013, "lay out reasonably consistent and clear instructions" on how employers should decide whether they have a combustible dust hazard.
Rogers rejected the petitioners' claim that, by failing to provide a definition, OSHA rendered its final rule unconstitutionally vague in violation of the Due Process Clause. The final rule, as well as a guidance document issued in 2013, "lay out reasonably consistent and clear instructions" on how employers should decide whether they have a combustible dust hazard, the judge said.
The court concluded by noting that the petitioners had argued that the final rule violates their First Amendment rights by requiring them to communicate combustible dust hazards. However, the judge concluded, petitioners made this argument in a footnote, and the D.C. Circuit generally doesn't address an argument "if a party buries it in a footnote and raises it in only a conclusory fashion."
Judges Karen LeCraft Henderson and Thomas B. Griffith joined in the opinion.
Donald C. McLean of Arent Fox LLP represented the petitioners at oral argument. OSHA attorney Louise M. Betts represented the government.

The fighting pride of Sheffield Kell Brook lost his David and Goliath battle against Gennady Golovkin tonight.
The courageous welterweight, who took on the destructive career middleweight at 160 pounds, was pummelled on the ropes in the fifth round.
Trainer Dominic Ingle did the right thing and waved the towel to end the contest.
A win would have required the performance of Brook's life.
But he couldn't keep the Kazakh off him.
His pressure was immense - but GGG said he wasn't a middleweight opponent.
He said Brook had never hurt him.
Undefeated IBF world champion Brook, aged 30, (36-0, 25 KO's) who had jumped up 13 pounds from his normal welterweight division looked desperate at the end.
Brook looked in trouble in the corner as he took some big shots.
But he continued to trade with him and came back with some combinations.
And landed two rights.
Brook traded punches in the middle of the ring with GGG and landed soe great shots.
Brook hit the canvas, a slip. GGG firing on all cylinders. Kell suffered a right eye injury, heavy bruising
GGG continued to stalk, a messy round but Brook landed qa decent upper cut and a left hook before the bell.
GGGG pressing on the ropes Kell looked in trouble taking too many headshots.
Dom Ingle flagging towel. It's over.

I find it nearly impossible to resist a good deal on anything carseat related. The worst part of this problem is that half of the time I buy things that I don't actually need. Sometimes I buy things that I don't even want! My friends are no help whatsoever since they tend to be as bad as I am. Today is the perfect example. Britax has a couple of their covers on clearance for $25! They don't have anything on sale that I really want or need – so why am I having such a hard time resisting? Yes, Ashley Floral is my favorite girly MA cover but I don't have a MA and I don't have any girls! I do have a Husky and a Regent but I never really cared for the Sahara cover.

Cotonou- Benin (PANA) -- Ouidah, a former slave trade post in Benin, will Saturday host the 2006 festival of the Reunion of Ouidah Communities and Regions with the Diaspora (Recordia), organisers said here Friday.
The festival is intended to bring together the various ethnic communities and their peoples scattered around the world to this town, which "does not benefit from the attention necessary for its development," the organisers said.
The festival will also allow each Recordia components to "get back to its origin, better own its culture and deal with the development issues of the historic city.
" In addition to the cultural events, Recordia will serve as a forum for a weeklong exchange on the development of this area.
The various communities, notably the Creoles, Haoussas, Batombus, Fons, Guins, Nagos and Yorubas, will dialogue to develop their culture and make themselves better known.
The festival seeks to draw the attention of the international community and Beninese leaders to this historic city, which, though it was the point of departure of more slaves than Goree Island (Senegal), is totally forgotten, the organisers said.

In case you are going to hire a motor bike whilst on holiday in Thailand, be sure that you assess it very well before taking it. Jot down any nicks or scratches or the hire firm may believe that you have damaged the motorcycle whilst in your possession.
A lot of motor cycle rentals are small scooters in the 125cc variety. You will be able to hire bigger scooters, although the greater number are 125cc.
Do not ever present your passport to the hire company. A photocopy of your passport will certainly do just fine. Never, at any time present your passport to anyone besides the police force.
If you possess your own helmet, wear it. Thai law demands the vehicle driver to wear a helmet at all times, but the majority of people pay no heed to the law. The hire company will offer a helmet however it will quite possibly be nothing more than just a cheap plastic thing.
You will see Thai scooter riders with no helmets and may possibly be tempted to drive that way as well. Keep in mind that the Thai police are more likely to book foreigners rather than locals.
Thailand drives vehicles on the left hand side of the highway but Thai bikers drive on any side any time they choose to. Do refrain from doing this. Ride with traffic and abide by the laws.
If you end up at a traffic signal, you are going to notice your fellow motorcyclists bobbing and weaving through the stopped traffic to get to the front of the pack. When the light switches to green, it will be like the start of the Formula 1.
Thai individuals use their bikes as both family vehicles and as beasts of burden. It is standard to see 2 or 3 people on just one motorbike. It is also typical to see motor bikes lugging what could generally be a truckload.
You will need to take a look at the up-to-date guidelines and laws to ascertain if you will require an international driver license or if they will accept your homeland country. Do not count on the leasing representative and his judgment of the law.
Be particularly vigilant if you experience Thailand at the time of Thai New Year, you can be witness to your fellow motorcycle riders traversing slippery roadways while intoxicated and the whole community hurling water at all of them. Your motorcycle riding survival skills are going to definitely be questioned.
Many scooters that you hire out in Thailand may possibly be of low quality. Be sure to just lease a motor bike in good working condition.
If you are looking out for an escapade in Thailand, do try riding a scooter but please see to it that you do comply with the rules and laws of Thailand, drive carefully, and use a top quality motorcycle helmet.
Check out Patong Motorbike Rental for further information.

It's 5 a.m. and I'm awake
Now it's on to some blog updating. And if I have time I'll get those pork sausage meatballs in the crock pot. I might just be turning into my mother (who gets up at 4:44 exactly, people!). I think I might be starting to understand why she coveted her morning time when we chillin's were still snug in bed...
Spent two days of my three-day weekend at the in-laws since their business is open all the time in the spring. Gave us a chance to spend a bit more time with busy Remi and me to catch up on the weed-infested garden. While Juju napped (thank heavens she still does) I weeded and was pretty much up to my eyeballs in stinging nettles and thistles. It's starting to resemble a garden again and we can actually see the real plants. I've still got lots of cleaning to do and hope to replant some more perennials that will be low-maintenance.
And took advantage of the great weather to snap some shots of Juliette (biker girl) around the greenhouse in bloom. I was astounded when I looked at the pics to see how much she resembles her papa when he was a toddler. See for yourself.
Or here:
But she is, after all, her own little person.
I'm hoping she's got a little something of me!
So I've just wrestled with the cat who was scratching at the living room door trying to wake up the rest of the house. I won the battle and he's now purring in my lap and keeping his claws nicely sheathed in. 6:08. I guess that's my cue to get moving. Good morning, everybody.

5a.m. is a good time to get stuff done and to enjoy some alone time. I do cherish those times when I have a chunk of time just for me.
Thanks for sharing the photos of Juju and Remi. Brought a smile to my face.

Well, I think she is MUCH prettier than Remi, but I do see some of that same stubbornness and determination in the set of her jaw. Yes, I see YOU too!
It's wonderful to know she is getting to grow up around flowers. Her childhood memories will be full of color and natural perfumes.
Pre-dawn is such a quiet time tingling with anticipation of the new day. I find it a very reflective time--once the coffee hits the bloodstream. Okay, so I DO get up at 4:44. If you have a digital clock, the numerals all lined up look like little people waving hello to you.
Sounds like you got a lot done too!
- May 30, 2012 at 2:38 AM
OMG - those photos of Remi are soooo cute! (uurm, does he know you put those up?! hehe) and yes, they look very alike. Don't worry, you're in there too! I bet she'll look more and more like you as she grows (I know I've morphed into my mum!)

No, Emmy, he doesn't know. How much do I need to pay you not to tell him?! But anyway, he was a cutie pie so he shouldn't be offended.

I am not much of a banana eater. I'd rather choose oranges or apples or grapes. But now that I am taking the challenge of No-Rice Policy to lose some weight, I have to replace rice and other carbo-filled food with a supplement that is rich in vitamins and minerals—take note that a serving of a 100-gram banana has 23 grams of carbohydrates. Hearing about bananas as among the qualifiers, I put it on top of my list.
|Here's my Entry to the Banana Morning Motto Contest
- Like the @Dole Fresh Philippines fan page;
- Click on the Banana Morning Motto Application on the left tab of the page;
- And simply upload a photo of your morning motto written on a DOLE® Cavendish Banana (make sure you've got the Dole sticker in place);
- Share it with your friends to get votes and increase your chances of winning!

I've been cooking full-time since I was fourteen years old. I won't tell you exactly how many years that has been, but suffice it to say a long time! But in that time, I've learned a few tricks around the kitchen.
So I'm going to start sharing my A to Z list with all of you--and I hope that you will offer your tips as well!
To begin...
A is for Apples and Avocados:
- To keep cut apples from turning brown, sprinkle them with a little lemon, lime, orange or grapefruit juice.
- Have you ever made guacamole from mashed avocado? If so, have you seen how it can turn an unappetizing grey color upon sitting? To keep your guacamole looking green and fresh, save one of your avocado pits and bury in your guac, then cover the surface with plastic wrap.

I bought yesterday the Humble Bundle 15 because all its games are available for Linux.
The problem was that while trying to install one game, my system warned me that I was running out of space.
Fortunately, I have a lot of unallocated space on that hard drive...at the end of my seven partitions. (Yes, seven! And I use each one of those systems!)
I decided to move some of the unused space to my gaming partition, but to do that I had to move 5 partitions to the right...and among those was the partition that loads GRUB.
Last time I did something similar, I messed up GRUB and my laptop would not boot; thus, I tried to be more careful. I replaced my current GRUB with the one of the first partition. Then, I moved the empty space to the left, one partition at a time, until it was next to the partition I wanted to enlarge. I then resized the partition, but I did not use all the unallocated space (just in case). Finally, I replaced GRUB with the one I had before starting the whole experiment.
Fortunately, everything worked. I understand that was a risky operation and that seasoned users would have a lot of much better methods.
Well, even if I am not so experienced, I could find a way to do it, and that makes me happy! :)

Save the Date: Super Moon Total Eclipse on Sunday
Graphic from the US Weather Service [Why haven't you liked them on Facebook yet? If you had, you'd already know about the eclipse.]
Photographers, budding scientists, and nature buffs, plan for an evening outside on Sunday to watch the total eclipse of the super moon. This is the last supermoon total eclipse until 2033! (The most recent one was clear back in 1982.)
At 7:03 p.m. on Sunday, a full moon rises in the east. You'll barely catch your breath when the Earth's shadow begins sliding across the glowing orb at 7:11 p.m. By 7:47 p.m., the moon will be completely in the dark and by 8:23 the whole thing will be over. You don't even have to keep the kids up late on a school night to see this.
Possibly there might be some cloud cover interfering with this sky spectacular as Sunday night is predicted to be partly cloudy for much of the Emerald Counties.
Keep a close eye on the weather forecast by clicking here. But, we're thinking about pulling out the tripod and trying to capture the super moon as it is covered in shadow no matter what the weather. Thinking about joining us? Here's some photography tips. We'll definitely want to see the results.

You Can't Stay Clean on Yesterday's Shower
November 2, 2017
I read and listen to a lot about work cultures, work processes, collaboration and teamwork, and am always intrigued by statements or quotes that relate to life and work and how we go about our daily lives. I heard the statement "You can't stay clean from yesterday's shower" for the first time just the other day while I was watching (and going along with) an exercise video. The narrator's point was the exercise you did yesterday doesn't really do you any good or count for today. As I thought about this, I realized it's true in many facets of what we do every day. Take work for example. Like exercise, the work we did yesterday can certainly lead to what we are going to do today, but it doesn't take the place of it. Yesterday's work does reduce the gap between the here and now and what's possible; however, what we accomplished yesterday is over. It's now time to start anew.
More specifically, think about healthcare and the fluidity and variety of it. Yesterday's work may not even correlate to what we are doing or need to do today. In healthcare, you almost need to be prepared for what you can't prepare for, because you don't know what may happen next. We do not work on an assembly line with the ability to forecast tomorrow, next week or next month. There are things happening here no one knows about until you have to deal with it. This scenario really played out at Orlando Health after the shootings at the nightclub in Orlando. They had to figure out how to deal with the media, unexpected visitors, unintended memorials and even an overwhelming amount and variety of donations. This was something for which they had no preparation. However, in healthcare - just like many other businesses - it takes a team to make things work. While we hope to never have to deal with situations like Orlando Health did, there are smaller unanticipated situations that occur virtually every day. And no, we cannot stay clean on yesterday's shower, but we can certainly learn from it.
I would also like to take a moment to share an uplifting story I heard a couple weeks ago, and while it could be old news by now with our constant news cycle, I want to share it anyway.
In a suburb of Chicago, there was a teenage boy who would sneak into a recreation center without paying and without a membership, so he could play basketball. The management from the recreation center couldn't get him to stop or catch him often enough, so they called the police. After the police officer investigated the situation and spoke to all involved, instead of arresting the boy, he bought him a membership to the recreation center. The police officer said it was all just part of the job. He said most officers take their job to help people, not to hurt them.
I wish we heard more stories like this.

GraphicaI have been reading "Advetures in Graphica: Using Comics and Graphic Novels to Teach Comprehension, 2-6. by Terry Thompson. Chapter seven "In the Mind's Eye: Making Mental Images and Inferring" is a particularly interesting chapter and well worth reading, particularly if you want to have a slightly different take on visualisation and comprehension.
He goes on to say that visualisation is not like a static picture or photograph, it changes and becomes more like a movie as the story unfolds. It incorporates movement, sounds, smells, taste, touch, and feelings. The mental images integrate your past experience and with perceived elements within the story. Inferences are formed when the missing details are filled in by the imagination. Thus, inferences are made by combining the new to the known.
How can graphics help children visualise? It can demonstrate the artist's imagination in various ways by using the graphics conventions such as speech bubbles, narration boxes, panels, gutters, text, etc. to encapsulate action, characterisation, mood, and emotion. For example, mood may be expressed through different variations of colour, line, perspective, font size and style. Children can be encouraged to use their inferencing skills to explore character traits. In the graphics they are able to gain clues as to the mental states of the characters through the depiction of their actions, what they say in speech bubbles, and by the expressions on their faces.
"Because comics represent characters visually, they help the reader in identifying and getting to know them. ..., this can help readers monitor who's speaking and how each character works into the story line. This visual connection to the players in the text frees readers up so they can practice attending to the characters and analyse the important role their presence plays during reading."(page 74).

Erosion Control
Land Application of Anionic Polyacrylamide
Code 1050
Department of Natural Resources
Conservation Practice Standard
l. Definition
The land application of products containing water-soluble anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) as temporary soil binding agents to reduce erosion.
ll. Purpose
The purpose of this practice is to reduce erosion from wind and water on construction sites and agricultural lands.
lll. Conditions Where Practice Applies
This practice is intended for direct soil surface application to sites where the timely establishment of vegetation may not be feasible or where vegetative cover is absent or inadequate. Such areas may include agricultural lands where plant residues are inadequate to protect the soil surface and construction sites where land disturbing activities or winter shutdown prevent establishment or maintenance of a cover crop.
This practice is not intended for application to surface waters of the state as defined by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) ch. NR 102.
lV. Federal, State and Local Laws
Anionic PAM application shall comply with all federal, state, and local laws, rules or regulations governing anionic PAM. The operator is responsible for securing required permits. This standard does not contain the text of the federal, state, or local laws governing anionic PAM.
B. Application Criteria
C. Product Approval Criteria
1. Toxicity test results shall be reviewed by the WDNR and shall receive a written product use restriction. Toxicity test results shall be submitted to: Water Quality Standards Section, WDNR, 101 South Webster St., P.O. Box 7921, Madison, WI 53707,
as a pre-qualification for field testing.
2. Anionic PAM mixtures shall achieve ³ 80% reduction in soil loss as measured by a 1 hour storm duration 2"/hour rainfall simulator test performed in accordance with methods used by Bubenzer and Patterson (1982) as a pre-qualification for field testing.
3. Performance of anionic PAM mixtures shall be verified and field-tested by the WisDOT or other WisDOT-designated facility.
4. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Erosion Control Storm Water – Product Acceptability List Committee (ECSW), will review and approve products as per the process set forth in WisDOT's PAL. Only products approved for use in Wisconsin may be used. Copies
VI. Considerations
The following are additional recommendations, which may enhance the use of, or avoid problems with the practice.
G. Application of anionic PAM mixture may not be as effective in the following situations:
H. Visible tracer or colorant to visually track application is recommended.
I. Anionic PAM mixtures may be applied in liquid and granular forms.
J. Application rates of anionic PAM mixtures may need to be adjusted based on soil type, slope, and type of erosion targeted (ie. wind or water). Based on manufacturer's recommendations, higher application rates may be necessary when applied in granular form.
VII. Specifications
Erosion control and stormwater plans specifying anionic PAM mixtures for erosion control shall be in keeping with this standard and shall describe the requirements for applying the practice to achieve its intended purpose.
VIII. Operation and Maintenance
Maintenance will consist of reapplying anionic PAM mixtures to disturbed areas, including high use traffic areas, which interfere in the performance of this practice. Anionic PAM mixture may lose its effectiveness in as little as two months due to weather conditions. Anionic PAM mixtures should be reapplied in areas where wind or rill erosion is apparent and whenever an area has been graded, driven upon, or otherwise disturbed since the anionic PAM mixture was last applied.

Lawrence "Larry" King wasn't sexually harassing fellow eighth-grade student Brandon McInerney in the weeks leading up to King's shooting death, prosecutors contend in court documents.
McInerney was the aggressor, teasing the effeminate King for weeks and vowing to "get a gun and shoot" him, according to a prosecution brief. Multiple students provided accounts of a growing hostility between the two boys, the document shows.
Their dispute ended in tragedy a year ago today when McInerney allegedly armed himself with a .22-caliber revolver and shot King in the back of the head twice in an Oxnard classroom as the school day was beginning.
"In the days before the shooting, the defendant tried to enlist others to administer a beating to Larry," Deputy Dist. Atty. Maeve Fox wrote in a "statement of facts" filed with the brief. "When that failed for lack of interest, he decided to kill Larry."

Once the whole application was created with an open-source framework, it might be both complicated and fragile. Xcode & Quick would be the most generally used open-source application design software for building iOS apps whereas Live Code 6. can be used for that Android application development process.

You are able to ask your developer when the application could be integrated with a few of API's. It will likely be good that you simply hire a skilled developer who offers good understanding concerning the API integration work.
Exactly what do they are fully aware about design guideline laid by the Android and Apple?

The main reason iOS apps are renowned for their elegant design, and straightforward functions are due to the strict design guidelines laid by the Apple. However in the situation from the Android, they're a little lenient within their design tests plus they accept almost all kinds of apps.
Nothing might be worse than having to pay for that application development only to achieve the application rejected. Make certain the developer understands all of the guidelines compiled by both of these major application stores from the mobile industry.
How can they be testing the application?

What all will they learn about IDE Tools?
There are many IDE (Integrated Development Atmosphere) tools that the developers understand and will also be using too. The developer which you'll hire will be able to explain the advantages of with such tools within the application development process. Be familiar with the developers who aren't with such tools, because without these power tools, you can't identify the safety issues and bugs that will hinder the functionality of the application.

The Mysterious Phoenix Lights
Skeptical Inquiree
Benjamin Radford
Skeptical Inquirer Volume 32.4, July / August 2008
Q: I heard about some strange lights over Phoenix that were sighted recently. I doubt they were aliens, but does anyone know what they were?
— J. Griffith
A: Yes, in fact we do. On the evening of April 21, 2008, hundreds of residents in Phoenix, Arizona, called police and local news media to report four (some witnesses said five) bright, red lights hovering silently over the city. They changed position after a while, moving from a triangular to rectangular configuration, then disappeared one by one.
The Air Force claimed they had no aircraft in the area at the time and could shed no light on the mystery. According to FAA spokesman Ian Gregor, "We did receive a number of reports from people who said they saw red lights in the skies on Monday night. Among them were some air traffic controllers [at the Phoenix Deer Valley Airport]. However, there were no unusual targets or unidentified aircraft on our radar scopes. . . . We don't know where the lights came from" (Sunnucks 2008).
Theories abounded, with UFOs and aliens of course being very popular. Was it the beginning of an invasion? Should Earthlings begin searching for the book How to Serve Man?
The lights remained a mystery and became an international media story. The case took a twist two days later when a local television station aired a startling confession by an anonymous hoaxer: he had created the UFO lights using road flares tied to helium balloons, launching them at one-minute intervals. Some people were amused by the hoax, others were angered, and many conspiracy-minded UFO buffs were skeptical of the explanation.
It's true that just because a person has confessed to a hoax doesn't mean the case is solved. After all, people sometimes falsely confess to things they didn't do. A confession (especially an anonymous one) by itself is not credible unless corroborated by physical evidence. Let's analyze the facts of the case from a skeptical investigator's perspective.
- The formation of the lights is consistent with independently moving objects, not fixed lights on an aircraft. They rose into the air together, stayed in more or less the same formation while in the same air currents, then drifted apart as they gained altitude. In fact, airport officials reported that "the lights were rising as they watched" (Associated Press 2008). Thus, the lights were sighted traveling vertically up into the air (as balloons do), instead of horizontally through the air (as aircraft do). Furthermore, when the lights did move horizontally, they drifted toward the east—the same direction as the wind.
- Air traffic controllers reported that nothing showed up on their radar. If the lights were the only visible part of a metallic spaceship or airplane, they would have appeared on radar. However, "UFOs" consisting of small balloons, road flares, and some fishing line would be invisible to radar.
- The way the lights disappeared also supports the hoax theory. They did not zoom away at high speed, as one might expect from an aircraft. Nor did they all suddenly and mysteriously disappear. Instead, eyewitnesses reported that the lights were visible for between fifteen and thirty minutes until they disappeared one by one. This is exactly the pattern we would expect to see from flares that were lit (and launched) in sequence: they would go up, remain lit for about twenty minutes, then the first flare would extinguish. A minute or two later the second would burn out, and so on.
And, as a final nail in the coffin for the UFO buffs who really, really wanted the lights to be mysterious and unexplained…
- One of the hoaxer's neighbors, a Mr. Mailo, actually watched the hoaxer launch the helium balloons and flares. Mailo said the flares were lit about 8 p.m., just before the UFO lights were first sighted.
That explains the mysterious 2008 Phoenix Lights. Any object seen in the sky, especially at night, can be very difficult to identify, and it's no wonder that the lights puzzled many people. All that is needed to create a UFO sighting is one person who may not recognize a light or object in the sky.
This is not the first time that strange lights have appeared in the dark skies over Phoenix. In 1997, similar lights were reported; the military had been dropping flares over a nearby testing range, although many UFO believers rejected that explanation as part of a cover-up. Not all UFO sightings are hoaxes—in fact most are simply misidentifications—but this case shows just how easy it is to fool the public and create a media stir.

SXSW 2013: 5 Things That Give Austin Its Unique Vibe
March 8, 2013
Today marks day 1 of #SXSW and to kick things off, we held a FreshBooks customer meet-up in the heart of downtown Austin last night. With the drinks and appetizers flowing, we got to chit-chatting and naturally found ourselves immersed in deep conversations about things that give Austin its unique vibe.
In no particular order, here are the top 5 things that truly make Austin…well, Austin – all based on sound bites from true-blue Austonites and our own experiences so far:
1. There's a rockstar performing in every bar, everyday
Don't believe it? Just take a stroll down 6th street. It's a musical gauntlet of sorts, ranging from the soulful jazz melodies of Ray Charles to the hard-hitting licks and tunes of blues legend Stevie Ray Vaughn. In fact, it's difficult to find a bar without live music (hence, the "Live Music Capitol of the World" moniker). Speak to anyone from Austin and they'll tell you the same – this place breathes good music.
2. Southern hospitality
Whether you're in an elevator with strangers or sitting in the back seat of a cab, be ready for some old-fashioned friendly conversation along with a side of hearty laughter. This art of conversation flowed naturally during our customer event.
3. Breakfast tacos
Ranging anywhere from $2 to $10, breakfast tacos typically consist of flour tortillas filled with scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon and other breakfast-type foods. Ask an Austinite and they'll proudly tell you no other American city boasts the quality, richness and authenticity of their breakfast tacos.
4. Innovation
Perhaps in part due to the start-up culture brought on by SXSW, the fact remains that little old Austin, Texas is slowly morphing into the Silicon Valley of the south. In addition to companies like Dell – which was founded in Austin – Apple, Samsung and Microsoft have all set up shop in the Live Music Capital of the World, employing more than 2000 people each as reported by VentureBeat. But it's not just the big guys making the move down south – smaller start-ups, entrepreneurs and small business owners are also migrating to Austin. The reason as cited by our customers: there is no corporate or personal income tax and costs of living are generally lower than other parts of America.
5. The city motto: "Keep Austin Weird"
From the inner stylings of local coffee shops to the progressive political and social culture, Austinites are perfectly content deviating away from the norm. Heck, you can even enjoy a restaurant-style movie theatre dubbed the "Alamo Drafthouse Cinema", where the servers feed you all kinds of alcoholic beverages as you munch on your favorite "Signature Movie Dish" – all while the movie is playing. From what we heard, the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy Feast" is all the rage:
Needless to say, we're certain there's plenty more to talk about, but we are only on day 2 after all and hope to uncover much more over the next few days. If you've experienced Austin and have some info to share or feel like recommending a cool spot we should check out, be sure to let us know in the comments below.
P.S: A big thank you to all our customers who made it out last night. We had an absolute blast and hope you did too.
P.P.S: If you're at SXSW and see a couple of guys wearing FreshBooks sweaters, don't be shy – we're always up for a chat.

Ravi the Raviator urges audiences to take to the skies|
For those who have ever considered getting in the pilot's seat of an airplane, the Hylton Performing Arts Center is hosting Ravi the Raviator while on his "You Can Do It" tour.
On March 19, Ravi will be visiting the Prince William Mason campus to motivate potential pilots, especially those from ages 15 to 25 and women and minorities. Ravi said he wanted to help attract another generation of people so that they may embrace their sometimes unrealized dreams of taking to the skies.
An alternative view on "12 Years a Slave"|
For years, directors have been releasing biographic films about the pre-Civil War era and the abolitionist movement such as "12 Years a Slave."
WAVES sends students off with tips to keep safe over spring break|
While Spring Break can be fun and relaxing, it can prove to be dangerous to some college students. WAVES held safety awareness events during the week of March 2 to help prepare students for Spring Break.
One of the events was called "Sex on the Beach." Named after the fruity cocktail, Sex on the Beach was an informative event that discussed the dangers of mixing alcohol with sexual activity. According to statistics, 50 to 72 percent of sexual assault perpetrators were under the influence of alcohol in sexual assault cases amongst college students.
[PREVIEW] Baseball tangles with Fairfield in weekend duel|
On Saturday, Mason baseball hosts Fairfield University in a doubleheader before squaring off with the Stags again on Sunday in the series finale.
Mason (8-3) is off to its best start since the 2009 season when they started 14-3 en route to the school's only at-large bid.
Fairfield (1-4) continues its Commonwealth tour in Fairfax, as they faced the University of Richmond earlier this week, losing 2-13 and 0-8, but also capturing the first win of the season behind a dominant performance on the mound by EJ Ashworth.
Star service sets Tex-Mex restaurant apart|
Sometimes, you just need a burrito.
Located in the Main Street Marketplace, near the TJ Maxx right off the Green 2 CUE bus line (about a 20-30 minute walk from campus), the Coyote Grille in Fairfax offers a variety of Tex-Mex cuisine in a fun, casual dining environment. Our experience wasn't the best because we went when it was busy, but this does not mean we had a bad time.
Hedda Gabler uncovers skeleton of human nature|
At George Mason University, an institution founded on the principles of its namesake that all men are created equal, the Mason Players explored the shackles of the eighteenth century genteel society in Henrik Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler."
Paul Hewitt backs current NCAA system for student-athletes|
Imagine receiving the brunt end of a fiery debate that rocks the foundation of American higher education to its core and you are just months removed from high school and had no prior hand in the debate.
Add in the fact that rules were implemented for your current organization by an outside organization that is preventing you from turning professional, forcing you to join said current organization, and you have thousands of men who are labeled as coddled and not deserving of fame.
Arts Building cleared of early morning bomb threat|
Mason's Art and Design Building on the Fairfax campus has been reopened this morning after police investigated a written bomb threat that was discovered last night. The building was closed this morning and all classes beginning at 7:30 a.m. in the Art and Design Building were cancelled.
