When we started this adventure many years ago we thought we would be building this house immediately, things changed and here we are. At that time the electrical load was calculated, the solar panels picked, the inverter was picked and the charge controllers were picked. All those components were sized with the thought that a 24vdc system would be more than adequate for our anticipated load. With all that determined we proceeded to purchase a pallet of solar panels and all the Outback components needed. Well now five years later things have changed.
About a year ago we decided that Joyce will continue to need a work area so she can continue her love of sewing and quilting. With that in mind the house design was modified to include a 1000 square foot craft/hobby room for Joyce. Of course the electrical requirements also had to be increased to accommodate the added space and equipment. Just to help you visualize, Joyce's quilting machine alone is over 12 feet long!
So for the last year I have been struggling as to how I could utilize the solar equipment we had already purchased. The solar panels were adequate and the inverter was adequate but the voltage needed to be increased to 48v in order to get enough charging capacity to the batteries. I also was struggling to find 48vdc pumps and lighting. Last week I had an ah-ha moment and determined that all we had to do was add two 24vdc charge controllers and split the solar array into two banks, one feeding each charge controller and all would be good. That moment probably saved us $4000! Along that same theme I also determined that our battery bank would be a sealed AGM battery system sold by Outback (EnergyCell 2700RE). The system utilizes a rack and interconnection buses and is virtually maintenance free and best of all the batteries require no water and are completely sealed which means no ventilation is required.
This week we also began buying the plumbing parts. We have finalized on using PEX tubing for all the hot and cold water plumbing. That decision also included using AquaPEX and the PROPEX fittings that allow the tubing to be joined, etc. with only the use of a hand held expansion tool. Very cool concept which does not have the leakage problems associated with crimp connection options.

An excellent shocker now rules on Blu-Ray!
John Lindsey | Socorro, New Mexico USA. | 10/15/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)
Henry Lee Lucas (Michael Rooker) and his buddy Otis (Tom Towels) maybe your typical buddies but secretly they are murderers in Chicago. Henry has a fetish for having sex with dead bodies and animals including an appetite for murder at night secretly, hell even Otis and Henry both video tape killing people for their pleasures. Henry seems to be falling for his buddy's hot sister Becky (Tracy Arnold) but Otis doesn't want that, he wants to keep his horrible secrets to himself away from the girl he desires as he's actually a real monster within.
A powerful, brutal and unique horror drama thriller from writer-director John McNaughton is one of the greatest and most disturbing horror movies ever made. Based on the murders and life of Henry Lee Lucas who is a real-life killer, The film is very realistic and hard to watch at times even with the gory murder sequences and snuff-filmmaking scenes, the film is praised as a brilliant and horrific piece of cinema that really kicks you in the gut and never lets go. The film was made in 1986 but got an X-rating due to extreme violence and subject matter but didn't got to see the light of day in theaters until 1990 without a rating but tons of praise. It's not like your typical slasher movie, this is a very human and terrific movie that takes you inside the mind of a monster.
This Blu-Ray offers stunning picture with quality sound with wonderful extras like audio commentary, trailer, still gallery, documentary, deleted scenes and outtakes with optional commentary, storyboards and interview with the director."

Firstly, you may know that my friend Andy and I have been taking part in various different challenges over the past couple of years to raise much needed funds for the Yorkshire Cancer Centre based in Leeds, a charity close to both of our hearts. For all you guys that have been reading my blog "If It's Not Raining, It's Not Training" since the very beginning, you'll be sad to hear that I've permanently deleted all the previous posts from it and replaced it with this… but don't worry, I transferred them all to the G-Rex Fitness site so you can still re-read them should you wish! 🙂
Going 'Down Under'
So, down to business. In November last year I was lucky enough to visit my friends in Perth, Western Australia for the wedding of Oli (Hirst) and Klasey (Pendlebury). One evening when sat with the Pendlebury family in the back garden around a pool, I noticed a large map of Australia hanging from the wall with a full detail of roads and distances clearly indicated on it. I've been getting more and more in to my cycling over the past year or so, and can think of no better way to spend my weekend than out in the Yorkshire countryside on my racing bike. The Pendlebury's are very proud Australian family, and when I asked about the roads and the outback they were only too happy to tell me all about it. That was it, my mind was made, I was going to put together a massive cycle.
I've chosen to do it in a few years time, so I'll be jetting off to the other side of the world for August 2016 with a timeframe of up to 6 weeks, this'll give me loads of time to plan and save, it'll be the year of my 30th birthday, and it gives me some extra time for a well deserved holiday at the end! For the cycle itself there were three routes that I was pondering over, Perth to Sydney (left to right), Adelaide to Darwin (south to north) or Adelaide to Cairns (south to north following the east coast). Weighing up the three different options I decided to go with the latter, the main reasons for this were:
- More interesting
- Better temperatures
- Bigger support possibility through exposure
- I'll get to see the majority of Australia's main cities
In my opinion, there's no point setting out on a challenge like this without having a worthy cause to do it for, so I'm going to be fundraising for 50% Yorkshire Cancer Centre, and 50% for an Australian charity which is yet to be decided.
I'll call it a day there for this post now, but I'll be regularly updating it with my progress so please follow this blog to keep up to date with all things related to the cycle, and if you can think of a name for the expedition then fire away in the comments section.
If you fancy getting involved, even if it's just for a section of the cycle, please get in touch.

Israel has steadfastly denied using White-Phosphorous bombs during the Operation Cast Lead invasion of Gaza in Dec. 2008.

I'm back again with another review which i received from the SASA Love Package. This time it is a makeup remover with a very unique consistency!!
Sasatinnie's Instant Makeup Gel Remover is said to "contains rich amino acids and chamomile extracts. Moreover, it moisturizes and relieves the dry skin to prevent the uncomfortable dry feeling after makeup removal. "And here i am putting the product to the test!!
The gel consistency is super light and non-greasy as it is oil-free!
|Left half with the gel makeup remover applied
Right half has light makeup on
|Removes my makeup easily!
Formula: ★★★★★
I really like the formula as i have never used a gel-like liquid makeup remover before.It is really light and it doesn't dry out my skin when removing my makeup!! It is perfect for all skin-types!!
Effect: ★★★★☆
So far it removes all traces of makeup but as i didn't try this product with mascara on my lashes i will have to further try this product out more often!!
Packaging: ★★★★★
Again this gets a 5 star because pump nozzles are the best packaging as it is very hygienic and makes sure clean product to use every time!
Cost: ★★★★★
This product is at a super affordable price of AUD$10 for 200ml of product!!
Overall: ★★★★☆
I would definitely recommend this product!! Interesting texture and very efficient!!
Back into uni and all i can say is that i can definitely feel the workload piling up but thankfully i got this week and next weeks readings and homework all done so that i can enjoy my birthday this week!!!
Comments are love ♥

Robert Easton, a character actor whose command of a vast array of foreign and American regional accents led to a flourishing second career as a dialect coach to Hollywood stars such as Charlton Heston and Anne Hathaway, has died. He was 81.
Often called the Henry Higgins of Hollywood, he died of natural causes Friday at his home in Toluca Lake, said his daughter, Heather Woodruff Perry.
A consummate phoneticist like Higgins, the exacting speech tutor in the musical "My Fair Lady," Easton taught Forest Whitaker the African inflections of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin and Ben Kingsley the gruff tones of a New York mobster. He helped Arnold Schwarzenegger turn his Austrian accent into Russian English and Liam Neeson's Irish brogue into a Kentucky drawl. He once coached Heston from a bathtub in Munich, helping the actor pronounce his lines like a Scot.
When actor Robert Duvall signed on to play Confederate commander Robert E. Lee in the movie "Gods and Generals" several years ago, he wanted Easton to help him sound authentically Virginian. The affable coach quickly became popular with the rest of the cast.

I'm pretty big on audiobooks and podcasts. Because I am on the road very often, I rather spend my time listening to something that is educational so I am continuously learning something new, instead of listening to music which adds very little value to my life.
Recently I discovered this trick that allows me to increase the amount of content I can consume in audio / video format in the same amount of time:
If you use Audible or Podcasts, there is a button on the iPhone app that allows you to play the audio clip at a faster (or slower) speed. So here's the thinking: if I'm able to listen to an 8-hour audiobook in 6 hours at 1.5x speed, or 4 hours at 2x speed, that's cutting the time by 75% or 50%! It's just like discovering a freaking time machine!
This works for Youtube videos as well, there's the feature to play a video at faster than normal speed (Simply click on the settings button in the video to adjust the speed).
Not only does this save me time, it also increases my comprehension skill, which helps me think faster to react faster! Getting so used to thinking faster will definitely give me an unfair advantage in the normal speed world 🙂
How will this tip help you increase your content consumption? Comment below!

In 1982 a young climber named Rich Gottlieb started covering lunch shifts at a small climbing shop called Rock and Snow in New Paltz, New York. Back then, it was only a part time gig. Fast-forward thirty years, and he's in charge of one of the most long-standing, independent climbing shops in North America.
Opening its doors in 1970, Rock and Snow was the baby of Richard "Dick" Williams, a member of the "Vulgarians" climbing contingency – an infamous group of savvy, scalawag counter-culturists who found glory exploring the Gunks' vertical wilderness in the 1960s. Rock and Snow quickly became the place for climbers and backpackers to find gear, beta and partners for the Gunks.
For more than forty years Rock and Snow has remained the go-to hub for climbers, hikers, and backpackers of all disciplines for gear, beta, and route info for all things Gunk. Owner Rich Gottlieb believes the success of the store is due in part to the commitment to egalitarian climbing ethos, an engaged and passionate staff, as well as an appreciation of irreverent humor. Rock and Snow has a cult reputation for producing esoteric t-shirts that amuse, befuddle, and ultimately entertain, intimating a connection to the Vulgarian enthusiasms of the 1960s.
Since then, the shop has seen some wear and tear. For instance, it burned to the ground on February 20, 1990 in an electrical fire. For three years Rock and Snow took refuge across the street while they rebuilt a new building with slightly more room, totaling 2,000-square-feet.
The current Rock and Snow structure is an award-winning, barn-styled design with high vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and stainless steel cables holding together the pitched roof. Brimming with gear, history, and an inclusive vibe, Rock and Snow never lost touch with its original image.
Unlike many stand-alone shop owners who maintain a skeletal crew of devoted employees, Rock and Snow takes a different approach. "We run a big crew," says Gottlieb. On weekends when the throngs of New York City climbers head for the hills, it gets busy. In big box stores it can be a struggle looking for someone to help you. "At Rock and Snow," says Gottlieb, "it's the other way around. We're looking for you."
Rock and Snow has long been a contributor to community events as well. They partner with running races, conduct shoe demos, provide rental packages, and participate in a long standing climbing festival. More recently they've added a consignment shop around the corner for climbers and outdoor enthusiasts to soften the realities of buying gear in a struggling economy. "We saw the need in the rough economy," says Gottlieb. "And it seemed like the right time." The consignment shop continues to bloom as summer approaches.
Many climbing shops develop their own cultures, often becoming unapproachable to newer or novice climbers. Not Rock and Snow. "We don't want that sense of elitism here," says Gottlieb. "We want an accessible environment for all who come in. We're courteous, and very knowledgeable. We don't play games and give people what we want them to have. We get them what they need."

Dear inconsiderate people riding the subway eastbound today,
My 6 month old son and I would like to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts (the very bottom, like scraping the very end kind of bottom) for not offering your seat to us.
Apparently a woman carrying a baby in a carrier, with a giant chair in a bag hanging off one shoulder and a giant diaper bag hanging off the other shoulder was not an indication that perhaps an empty seat would be appreciated.
And apparently a woman with the above mentioned baggage leaning against the subway doors in agony was not an indication that perhaps her spine was going to snap in two from the weight she was carrying.
We would especially like to thank the idiot who stared at us the entire 7 stops and then, after getting up to exit the subway car, actually had the audacity to say "your baby is so adorable". Why thank you Mrs. Idiot. Too bad he's not cute enough for you to offer your seat.
Oh, and kudos to the !@#$%^&* jerk who took her spot right after she got out of her seat without so much as a considerate glance our way. Yah, you know who you are.
So a big thank you goes out to every last one of you who rode the subway eastbound today and either pretended not to see us, saw us but didn't care or is just so clueless that you actually don't know that the little sign above your seat that says "please give up your seat…" means that you should actually do it.

I really enjoy making little paintings, there's something about being able to capture a scene or tell a story in such a small space. ACEO stands for Art Card Editions and Originals. They are pieces of artwork measuring 2.5 x 3.5 inches (6.4 cm x 8.9 cm), the same as a standard playing card. I have to admit that before selling on Etsy I had never heard of them, but now I am an avid creator and collector of the little works of art. Many artists have works I love that I can't afford, so it's nice to be able to purchase an original, even if it will just fit in the palm of my hand.Here's some newer ACEOs of mine. Enjoy!

MINERVA-Head coach Bruce McGinn has his focus set on league rivals Indian Lake/Long Lake this year. After a 3-7 season last year and losing starting short stop Larissa Roy to graduation, he still returns a talented team.
"This is a very athletic bunch," he said. "Our freshman have the potential to be impact players under our experienced starters."
Despite season players, McGinn admits his weakness this season will be inexperience at specific positions. Some players are still finding their niche and settled into their jobs, he said.
Of the strong players, McGinn will look to junior third year pitcher Laura Tokarz to lead from the mound. Sophomore Shelby Hogan will back her up with better than average strike-out capabilites, according to McGinn.
"She is certainly qualified," he said of Hogan.
Freshman Dakota Bennett will step in to feel the gap left by Roy at short stop and McGinn feels that she has lived up to the position from the beginning.
Agathe Debeauvais will play in the outfield and Anh Pham will join her and Tokarz as the young team only fields three seniors.
Renna Yandon will start at first base as a junior. She is joined by all-around player Caelan Gould, catcher Tara Galusha, infielder Amanda Bellotti and second baseman Marlena Peter, who will also be a strong offensive presence for the Lady Mountaineers.
Sophomore Ashley Miller brings speed and athleticism to multiple positions as freshman Gabrielle McNally rounds out the roster.
"We don't have a lot of weak spots," said McGinn. "If we practice hard and live up to our potential, we can compete with Indian Lake/Long Lake."

Isileth Retains STR FPL Crown...Again
Posted by Anubis on Sunday, June 12 2016
With much gritting of teeth and feigned happiness, I must report that once again Isileth has shamed us all by taking the world famous STR Fantasy Premier League championship for yet another year. Speaking with much smugness after his triumph, the champion addressed his peons thusly:
"You know, the fact that year after year I have to present the trophy to myself really does make you guys look like a bunch of sore losers. Sure each year I already have the trophy so from a logistics perspective it is easier for me to just present it to myself but really you guys need to be putting together some sort of ceremony otherwise it just makes you look bad. But enough of that, this is a time for great celebration.
Few men are built of the stuff it takes to win the STR Fantasy Premier League, to lift the trophy is a reward saved for only those of great character and resolve, to be born of such ability along with the drive and motivation required for this immense achievement is truly a once in a generation gift. It just so happens that I was the one chosen for this gift.
To win once is a life defining event, to win twice is to be assured your place in sporting history, to win three times elevates you above all men who have come before, to win four times raises you above all yet to come, to win five times is surely beyond any mere mortals ability, to win six times is frankly just getting silly, but to win seven times...to win seven times in a row...who could even dream of such a thing?
The seventh FPL trophy is mine!"

Twitter List Integration
Posted by Anubis on Sunday, May 22 2016
As some of you may have noticed, our Social Media panel to the right of your screen has just changed a little bit!
We've been thinking for a while now that we'd like to draw in more of the content that we're all creating on Social Media to the website, and so we've decided to replace our existing Twitter feed (which fed directly from our official Twitter account) with a feed from a list of all our members instead!
Our hope is that this will help personalise the site a bit more, generate more content, and have the added bonus of giving everyone some publicity for their own brand of insanity ;)
If you're not on the list and would like to be, please drop us a line and we'll get you added!
Overwatch Beta
Posted by STR-MS on Friday, May 6 2016
As you may be aware, Blizzard's upcoming shooter Overwatch entered open beta yesterday and is currently free to download & play - No beta key, previous sign-up or pre-order required.
In terms of content, the beta includes pretty much everything you'll be able to expect on launch day; including its full roster of heroes & maps. As such you'll be able to jump in there & get a feel for all the different heroes & their abilities before the game officially launches on May 24th.
- Matches are on the short side so if you have a limited amount of time, this shouldn't be an issue. Overwatch is really well suited for jumping in and out, as and when you want. Unlocks all consist of vanity items like skins & emotes so no other player will have a heads-up on you in terms of weapons or anything, just time played (though all progress from the beta will be wiped upon release anyhow!). The game is also very small (under 6GB) so you won't have a massive client to download just to try it!
- Due to the art direction & the fact that it is extremly well optimized, you don't need a monster rig to be able to play it either. The game runs beautifully.
There are a few of us already playing it but it would be lovely to see a few more people in there. Fancy giving it a try with us? Drop by our Discord channel and see if anyone's playing or up for some games - shatteredstar.org/discord
Beta ends on Monday (May 9th) at 6pm BST.

Discord Update
Posted by STR-MS on Sunday, January 17 2016
Just a quick update to let you guys know that we now have a more convenient link to give to people when inviting them to our Discord channel.
If you're looking to invite someone into Discord, rather than generating an instant invite link for them (like https://discord.gg/0iscxurX8fkWaodg which is set to not expire), you can simply give them shatteredstar.org/discord. This will redirect them to the exact same place, just with a link that is much easier to remember and pass out to people!
The Discord widget can also be found on our site via Community > Join us in Discord
Feel free to drop by!
Discord - A new place for us to chat
Posted by STR-MS on Monday, December 28 2015
Hey guys, if you haven't already seen on the forums or elsewhere, we now have our own Discord channel.
You may have heard of it already but if not; Discord is a free chat app designed specifically for gaming. It's very easy to use, doesn't require a guide to connect to or set up, supports both text & voice chat, multiple channels, embedding for videos, screenshots & links and you can connect to it quickly and easily via your browser, the desktop client (PC & Mac, with Linux to come) or even a free mobile app (for both iOS & Android) for use on the go too. It also supports a full chat log history, even for when you're not in there yourself. Joining the channel in the middle of a conversation? Just read up and see what was said before you logged in. Want to leave someone a message for when they next come online? Easy! Lots of other cool features to come as well.
If you fancy joining us on there, all you gotta do is click this link!

Posted by STR-MS on Tuesday, October 6 2015
As many of you will already be aware, this week finally sees the arrival of the Star Wars: Battlefront beta - One of this years most hotly anticipated games!
Beta will run from October 8th to 12th and is open to everybody, with the pre-load beginning on PC tomorrow morning at 9am UK time. Download size is reported to weigh in at around 11GB.
There will be 3 modes available to try during the beta:
- Walker Assault on Hoth: Fight in epic 40-player battles as a Rebel to destroy the Empire's onslaught of AT-AT's by calling in Y-wing bombers. Or, side with the Empire and protect your walkers while utilizing their mighty weaponry to crush the Rebel objective.
- Drop Zone on Sullust: Escape pods are crashing down and you and your team must fight to control them. With its frantic 8v8 matches, Drop Zone is sure to put your combat and strategy skills to the test.
- Survival Mission on Tatooine: Play alone or with a friend via co-op or split-screen as you battle to hold off waves of Imperial forces including AT-ST's, TIE fighters, elite stormtroopers and more.
There's a few of us here at STR who are planning to check this out so hope to see some of you in there, as well as meet some new faces too. We have just opened a brand new SW:BF section to the forums as well so feel free to make use of that in the coming days!
Happy gaming and have fun on the Battlefront!

STR Store Updated
Posted by STR-MS on Wednesday, July 15 2015
Just a quick note to say that several new designs have been added to the STR Store since it opened at the weekend. These new designs are available across a wide range of products from t-shirts to iPhone cases, mugs, bags, stickers and lots more. On top of these I've also spent the week designing a snazzy new STR poster!
Got any design ideas or suggestions? Spotted an issue with a current design? Let us know on the forums.
Final note: It would be lovely to see some pictures if any of you happen to buy anything from the store. Mock-ups aren't always a true representation of the final product so it would be great to see what they look like once printed and this will also help us identify any potential issues with text, gradients etc on existing designs.
Happy shopping and stay tuned for future stuff! ;)

U.S. stocks rallied on Friday, with Wall Street clearing weekly losses and posting its best two-day gain in four months, as investors decided the nonfarm payrolls report wasn't so terrible after all.
"It was bad, but not that bad," said Marc Doss, regional chief investment officer at Wells Fargo Private Bank. "We've made some progress here, and we still think we'll get back to a better trend," he added.
The government reported the creation of 113,000 jobs in January versus expectations of 185,000. The jobless rate fell to 6.6 percent versus an expectation of 6.7 percent.
The report showed increased employment in construction, and declines in retail and government work.
(See Chart: What's the real unemployment rate?)
The payroll number is "even lower than the lowest estimate. Mitigating some of these negatives is the unemployment rate ticked a bit lower and the labor participation rate ticked up. Both of those are good things," said Chris Gaffney, senior market strategist at EverBank.
(Read more: Jobs report too 'weird' to just blame the weather)
"We're still in the 130,000 to 150,000 range in looking at the six-month average, so I don't think this will deter the Fed from their tapering program," said Paul Nolte, managing director at Dearborn Partners, in downplaying any notion that the jobs report might prompt the central bank to discontinue its program of easing its quantitative easing.
"The economic data is still okay; the earnings data, which is driving the market more than anything else, is also okay. We're not running into a higher probability of a recession. As a result the markets can stay in relatively broad trading range," said Nolte, who believes the S&P 500 will travel in a zone of about 5 percent, between 1,750 and 1,850.
S&P 500 companies are on track to "print an earnings per share number 9 to 10 percent higher; revenue is only going to be up about 2 to 3 percent, so the top line is a longer-term worry, but on the bottom line, companies have delivered for another quarter," said Doss.

News Release:
Beaumont Fire Rescue units responded to a structure fire at 5860 Falcon Lane at approximately 11:45 PM. When firefighters arrived, they found the front of the home heavily involved with fire. The occupants, a 58 year old woman and her 18 year old grandson, were able to escape without injury before firefighters arrived. One family pet was lost in the fire. It took 30 minutes for firefighters to control the fire. There was heavy fire damage to the entry way of the home and the attic and roof structure. The fire appears to have been caused by an electrical short in the entry way of the home. Red Cross was called to the scene to assist the occupants.

In what amounts to something akin to a miracle, Dorothy Day was the centerpiece of a short Op-Ed piece that appeared in a recent issue of The New York Times. The piece, "The Passion of Dorothy Day," by Lawrence Downes, is a reflection offered by someone struck by the intimacy and vulnerability of the woman whose life has changed the lives of so many. Spurred by the recent publication of Day's correspondence, Downes shares how the early letters of the Catholic social activist (and saint-in-the-making) reveals an entirely human side of Day often overlooked by those so understandably drawn to her social-justice model.
The late letters show the Day we remember: the sociable yet ferocious old lady, friend and inspiration to César Chávez, Eunice Shriver, Thomas Merton. The earliest ones, from the 1920s, show her determination in the face of all obstacles. She lived in a shack on Staten Island, fished and collected shells, cooked and cared for her little girl. She struggled as a freelance writer, moving as family and finances demanded.
All the while she lavished love without shame on a partner who made little use of it. But no matter: there was more where that came from, a passion that grew in amplitude and influence far beyond just one dead-end romance. Sainthood and the single woman. Sanctity without incredulity. Sexual love without regret. That's the totally ordinary, amazing thing about Dorothy Day.
Downes's column reveals an admiration for the holy woman whose life is not as clear-cut as so many hagiographic depictions of saints' lives often are. Instead, what we are able to see is a very special part of the life and heart of a woman who gave of herself entirely for the service of others and, at one time, sought to more directly validate her relationship with another — the father of her daughter. In that process, Day shows the love of a passionate human being, drawn into the mystery that captivates us all — Love.
The final line in Downes's piece, "That's the totally ordinary, amazing thing about Dorothy Day," is what captivates me about Day. It is indeed her ordinariness — if one could ever really describe Dorothy Day as ordinary — that is so amazing. She was no pristine and sinless image of some generic 'virgin and martyr,' but instead a real person, a person like you and me, who has loved and lost, and who seeks to ultimately and simply do what is right.

He fought hard for nine days, but on Sunday Saddle Brook Engine Co. #1 Lt. Shawn Sturdy died from injuries sustained in an ATV crash in Pennsylvania.
"Shawn was one of those people who lit up a room when he walked in," fellow firefighter Doug Habermann said. "He always had a smile on his face and a pleasant greeting when you saw him. I can't even explain how much he'll be missed by us all. A true gentleman, friend, and brother."
ARRANGEMENTS: Visiting hours are from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday at the Kugler Community Home For Funerals . The service will be held at the funeral home on Fifth Street ( 973-478-2500 ) at 10 a.m. Saturday, with cremation to follow at Cedar Lawn Cemetery in Paterson.
A pillar of the township community, Sturdy was equally popular at the Port Authority, where he worked as a tunnel and bridge agent.
He was variously described as "a nice guy," "respectful," and one who "says hello to everyone at all the firehouses."
Sturdy was airlifted to Geisinger-Community Medical Center's trauma unit in Scranton after the June 8 crash. Prayers were shared and raised as he remained hospitalized.
"It absolutely breaks my heart to know that I'll never see that chuckle and smile again - from a friend, co-worker, fireman, and most importantly little brother," wrote township Battalion Chief Shant Ohannessian, who worked with Sturdy at the Port Authority.
Ohannessian established a GoFundMe page to help defray the family's expenses: Strong and Sturdy .
"The guys [at the Port Authority] never had a bad thing to say about you," former work colleague and fellow firefighter Ray Abel wrote in a Facebook tribute. "You were a hard worker and always professional in both places."
"I met him when he just turned 10. All excited to play little league baseball for another season," wrote Manny Scarangella. "I had the honor to be his coach. He was the most coachable kid. Always wanting to learn more, play more, etc.... he was an absolute pleasure.
"This young boy came up to me and asked, 'can you teach me to pitch?' We met a few times without the team to learn. It was then that I knew he was going to be something special," he added. "He knew what he wanted and willing to put the time in to get it.
"Lisa Di Stefano Sturdy and Vincent Sturdy, you raised quite the man. Always a pleasure to see and talk with," Scarangella added. "I will remember him forever. He was one of the reasons why I loved to coach. Always hoping that I would have another Shawn on my team."
"He was a young man filled with honor, loyalty and most of all respect," added Andrew Majkowicz, "and I hope what he leaves behind his peers will pick up and run with."

Many women in our community don't receive a yearly mammogram. Why is this? Well, many don't know the importance of breast health. Some may be scared, and others simply don't have access to services because of economic or geographic barriers.
That's where Ascension Columbia St. Mary's Urban Church Wellness, Community Benefit and other outreach programs step in. We work with more than 80 area churches to provide cancer screenings and other preventive care to its members in Milwaukee's central city.
There may be financial programs available for low-income or uninsured patients. For more information, contact our Outreach Coordinator at 414-291-1599.

You tell us
We are a pre-launch real estate analytics company without a name. Part of the contest will be to name the company (and make sure the .com, .au, .uk etc. domains are available).
The service itself is tailored towards real estate agents and helping them understand their market position (what is my market share) and also helping them optimize their advertising online (what property sites are driving the most business).
The online service is very data-driven and helping real estate agents make decisions based upon results.
The site/app itself is designed to be very clean and crisp. I really like sites like Vimeo.com, 99designs.com and useit.com
Real estate agents. Agency office managers. Real estate professionals.
The app itself is using this color scheme: http://kuler.adobe.com/#themeID/547366
Particular the first two colors: Brown and Green.
For the name, I prefer shorter rather than literal. The name needs to be at least be available for .com, .au and .uk.
The service is completely about real estate analytics.

Post subject: Training after pneumonia
I was diagnosed with pneumonia just over a week ago after a chest X ray. I had probably had it for at least a week prior to that. At the moment I am not feeling like doing anything but assuming the next X ray in 3 weeks time is clear when and how much exercise should I do?

Personally I'd seek the advice of a qualified medical professional rather than a bunch of strangers on an internet forum who will all have different opinions which they can completely justify is the right opinion...
Pneumonia is pretty serious and it depends on how bad your indiviual case is, how fit you were/are, how much training you were doing before.... nobody on here can give you a definitive answer.... no doubt you'll get lots of "When I had it..." stories and "My mate who's a doctor reckons...." but at the end of the day listen to your Doc and your body before you listen to anyone on here....
next I'll be doing...

Dont take any notice of Dunc, just go balls out now!
When I had it, it made me go faster and therefore I trained harder.
My mate who's a doctor reckons you'll be fine and therefore just go balls out.
Don't worry, be happy!!

I had it pretty bad nearly 20 years ago, couldn't breath properly and ended up in an ambulance then hospital for a few days
It took me quite a while to recover from it but I got back to running steadily after a few weeks and built up slowly from there. I wouldn't rush it

Depends how you feel- pneumonia is not always that serious and is defined as a lower respiratory tract infection- most young fit adults will shake off "pneumonia" very often without antibiotics. Pneumonia is one of those emotive names for an illness which has a vast range severity. At the other end, people can end up on intensive care and be extremely unwell, though not many get this sick.
Why was the X Ray done- do you have any other illnesses or reasons for needing a CXR- were you unwell and not getting better, did you have noises on your chest that were not improving when someone listened to them- do you smoke, how old are you- why are they repeating the XR? Have you had antibiotics?
Chest X rays will show consolidation with pneumonias- this is where the bit of lung that is infected fills with muck then goes a bit solid- the body will reabsorb this.
Go back to training gently- if you don't have a temperature, don't feel achy or shivery and have no history of asthma or any other respiratory illness, then gradually build up again over a week or two, taking your time and not pushing too hard- you may well feel a bit short of breath and still cough stuff up- this is normal during recovery. If you get any increasing shortness of breath or feel unwell or disproportionately tired, dial it back and let yourself recover more.
Hope this helps and get well soon.
BTW, I have been a qualified medical professional for 18 years

I am just on my way back from pneumonia myself. I was diagnosed in early December and just avoided hospital. I had a chest xray, which as said above, showed consolidation. I also was told I had pleurisy with it. The first three weeks I couldn't do anything, walking up or down stairs was enough. After then I started being able to get to the shops (200m) and started upping walking after that. 5 weeks later the GP told me I could start excerising again and get back into it. 2 weeks after that I have been running a few times but it wipes me out. I also get some chest pain in the area the pleurisy was. Generally I am improving gradually.
So - take home message, dunno. That was me. I have read about people running gain after a week of being diagnosed. Your body and your GP will guide you better than anyone else.

Of course I will go on my doctor's advice. In response to "acidotic" I do not have any other related things. I have never smoked. 55 years old and normally very fit & healthy. Why did they do the Xray? Don't know I assumed it was normal practice.
Thanks for all the advice.

Just get back to it on your own time then and listen to your body for a few weeks.

I'm getting fed up now too- 3 colds in 4 weeks and now on antibiotics and still feeling crap- think I got complacent!! I usually fight them off really well an dhave a pretty good immune system, but beasted myself on Thursday after trying a Second Surge Caffeine gel after a swim and before a gym session- I was still buzzing that evening so did a 45 minute turbo intervals straight into a high pace run- in retrospect I was an idiot, but it felt great. Paying for it now after stuffing my immune system again. bring on spring.

I had it in the autumn, for the second time in my life.
It took me weeks to be fully up to speed - I was told four to six weeks, but it wasn't that long.
Your body will dictate what you can do: even after you feel better you'll probably find you are easily tired, if my experience is anything to go by. So my advice would be don't decide 'I'll start training after X weeks' and plunge back in. When you feel better go for a ridiculously short run or cycle. Give it two days and see how you feel and then go from there.
Sympathy - recovery is very boring. Just remember it's a serious condition and you don't want to make yourself sick again.

Many types of pneumonia, and the word is often used to cover everything
ranging from a mild chest infection to full blow 'you are going to die' infection. The causes are different too, so each type needs to be treated differently, from the curable to incurable, or where no damage to the lungs is left to permanent damage.
I had infected lungs and pneumonia about 3 or 4 years ago. Most likely cought it traveling in planes.
Knocked me for six, coughing up foam and blood. I could only walk about 8 steps on the flat then had to rest to get my breath back, and with every breath it felt as though I had been stabbed in the lower back.
I was later told by a docter that if I had been older of not so fit I might not be writing this today!
In my case if I had done training after the flights I might have cleared my lungs of the infection before it took hold, unfortunatly my flights were long and late at night for 2 days.
Once I had the infection I was given very strong painkillers (made me sweat like something else and my heart go bananas) and antibiotics. I had to rest and keep warm. This rest took about 6 weeks and then I was told not to do too much as I could relapse (this happened to a co-worker. Thought she was over it, went out and came down with it again) This took another 4 weeks before I could go out on the bike for a proper ride. I was lucky, mine was curable and left no damage.

Like Acidotic I'm getting frustrated with cold viruses. I'm in the early/main bit of my 4th virus since Xmas. This one's nasty! Due to other family illness I'm having a blood test to check my immune system is working properly.
What with that and ITB recovery my training has fallen through the floor this year.

I am now back just doing sedentary work so still no Phys of any kind except a bit of walking. How I feel changes from day to day - good days & not so good days. On a bad day like today I have pain on breathing though of course nothing like when I first had it, an annoying cough, and today pain across my upper back below my shoulder blade on the bad side. I am still always tired. I have had a 2nd X ray and was told by the Receptionist at the Surgery my notes just said "satisfactory". Very informative - NOT. satisfactory could be many things.

"Satisfactory", though not a dramatic sounding word usually means good and if there was any significant change or pathology I would expect them to inform you- I would however ring up and and try to get the words normal or resolving/resolved- if in doubt, get put on the phone list and discuss it with a GP.

As community gardens have grown in popularity, so too has the need for a national organisation that links and shares knowledge and information collected by all the individuals, groups and agencies working with them.
The idea to connect community gardeners around the island of Ireland was first muted at the GIY Harvest Festival in Waterford in 2011 and as a result of all the positive feedback, the inaugural meeting took place at The Greenhouse in Dublin in November of the same year, attracting over 50 people from various locations around Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Two more facilitated meetings took place and Community Gardens Ireland's forum finally went live in 2012. It's aim to support and promote community gardens in Ireland and Northern Ireland and the network has grown from strength to strength. The forum site gives a virtual connection for community gardeners, providing support and promotion, sharing resources and learning and exchanging ideas. We also have a Facebook Group, Facebook page and twitter account.
Network meetings take place in venues around the island of Ireland approximately every four months and we always aim to include a community garden visit. We have met in over ten locations across the country from Derry to Waterford, Galway to Kilkenny, offering a workshop element into the events, making them a full day of learning and friendship, networking and information.
Name Change
After public and committee consultation in June 2016 we changed our name from the Community Garden Network to Community Gardens Ireland to reflect our new vision and aims.
CG Ireland is operated on a voluntary basis and is currently a free resource for community gardeners everywhere.

The homemade biscuit, as a food icon, does not seem to resonate strongly in Chicago. I guess it's just one of those things that you should look for at the source. Can't expect one city to do EVERYTHING for me. At any rate, I did find a very good homemade biscuit (large, flaky yet fluffy) the other morning at:
L.T.'s Grill
1800 W. Grand Ave
But the gravy wasn't quite thick enough. Everything I saw people eating looked great at this place, and everyone seemed to be very happy with their food. Super-nice servers, Intelligencia coffee, and the clean, comfortable space were bonuses.
I had also pinned slight hopes on the Breakfast Club, at 1381 W. Hubbard, but after spying the biscuits being delivered in a box from a bakery, I decided to order something else. The French toast was perfect. Portions were massive -- and so were many of the patrons. Again, a nice clean pleasant space with a very efficient and friendly staff. Extremely crowded, though.
Finally, based on advice gleaned here, I did try the biscuits at the hipster hangout, Flying Saucer (1123 N. California) and found them to be quite good, but the gravy had no oomph (too little grease, perhaps) and was served with scallions (not a bonus, for me). Negatives include a hung-over staff and relatively high prices, but the coffee was excellent.

In 1964, Shamar Rinpoche was officially enthroned. The 16th Karmapa elevated him publicly to the highest position after himself within the Karma Kagyu order and appointed him as "sovereign" or "holder" (tib.: tenpa) of the lineager. The 16th Karmapa addressed at this occasion aprayer of long life to the Shamarpa in which he wrote:
"The most exalted, the lord of the lands of snow is Avalokiteśvara.
The coalescence of his essence is the glorious Karmapa.
Inseparable from his three mysteries[1], in the manner of the three lords[2],
Is his manifestation, the great emanation; the majestic sun,
Whom I invest now sovereign of the practice lineage's order.
By the power of scattering auspicious flowers of excellent virtue
Combined with the true words of the riṣhi's truthfulness
May he successfully and everlastingly be the sovereign of the order"
[1] Body, speach and mind of a Buddha.
[2] Vajrapāni, Avalokiteśvara and Mañjuśrī.
