bs – 70-80-90-95-100-100
nice work on the squats tonight guys. good to see some solid form.
i jumped into the metcon with a hard felt effort.
7:45 ish
like most peeps tonight the double unders were a killer.
Yeah skipping isn't a strong point but those sit ups are a killer.
metcon 8:27
No laughing for the next few days because the abs will be sore!!!!!!
Weird – first 2 rnds of dbl unders good, then they totally 'diappeared' on me again!! 7.56 all up. Will be a good WOD to practice in Aussie!
Yeah hearing you guys about the double unders…definitely ANOTHER thing that I need to work on…
Sara you still managed to kick some butt! That time will get you up on the board:)
Metcon: 11.53 (grrr DUs)
BS: 45.,50,55,57.5 x 3
Thanks for the tips Donny, they really hepled.
Should have climbed higher and fasted, but happy with the weight.
"Annie" rx'd
Missed my pr by 26 seconds, but those we anchored sit-ups so really happy with the time!

We're back from visiting Mom. We managed a hike along the old Erie Canal and a bit up on Plotterskill Reserve, which was very muddy. Aiyre got a bit too much sun, but she wasn't complaining about any pain, so maybe she was just a bit flushed.
I really have a bee phobia thing, but this disappearing bee thing really has me worried. Lets hope we can reverse the trend. What has happened in the last couple years? Lots more cellphone towers, maybe they are affecting the bees somehow. I wonder if anyone has attempted a correlation.
We were up late last night, so of course, Evan got up at 4:40. *yawn*

Bath Accessories Sanitary ware accessories
It is understood that different sanitary ware in the texture, the basic functions of the difference is not big, color, mold making the degree of difficulty, style, old and so on is the main reason leading to the emergence of price difference. Sanitary ware also belong to handicrafts, style style changes quickly, as the market as any ordinary consumer goods, the popular product prices naturally high, and Chen goods manufacturers through the sale of the way to deal with the price is also common sense. In addition, some supermarkets launched a series of special products as the highlight of DM mainly to drive popularity, but this product is very small, and soon sold, many consumers can not really buy such ultra-low-priced products.
Insiders revealed that the market there are consumers do not know the market was business '忽悠' situation. Some businesses, especially small and medium-sized brand products for consumers like to bargain of the psychological, often take the false price of the machine to fight the beautiful way, 'Huyou' consumers. It seems that consumers buy more time to ask, shop around is necessary. Wu Ming that consumers choose to look at sanitary ware brand is also very important, some brand-name products seem to be the same as ordinary products, but in the key accessories, installation, warranty, etc. are still very different. The world's top sanitary ware products work elegant, and most of their own matching hardware or good texture of plexiglass, plastic and other accessories.
These sanitary ware accessories are extremely elegant and luxurious texture, in addition to pure copper chrome or nickel, imitation gold and other surface treatment process, there are 18K or 24K gold gold-plated metal parts, very delicate. Sanitary ware style, feature updates soon, in the pursuit of quality of life today, people will be based on their own needs to update the bathroom products. Moreover, the installation of sanitary ware in the entire home decoration is only considered a small project, the replacement is not trouble. Flotation machine manufacturers, sand washing machine, crusher manufacturers
Insiders believe that the bathroom hardware accessories market space. Bathroom accessories a lot, but probably including the mirror, toothbrush cup, tooth cup holder, soap table, towel bar, towel rack, hooks, paper tube frame, hanging hook and toilet brush box. Bathroom accessories due to frequent use, product updates quickly, are consumables, in addition, looks like a beautiful art, easy to attract consumption. According to nine is building materials network to understand, from the material point of view, the current hardware on the market to titanium alloy, pure copper chrome, stainless steel chrome three kinds of materials. Titanium alloy hardware is the most exquisite, but the price is the most expensive, the price in a few hundred or even thousand; pure copper chrome products can effectively prevent oxidation, quality assurance, is the mainstream of the market, the price of about 100 yuan ; Stainless steel chrome prices the lowest, more than one hundred dollars, but the shortest life. From the color point of view, these new generation of bathroom hardware products are mostly out of the original hard cold stainless steel color, silver and brass occupy the mainstream now. Bathroom hardware is the modern home bathroom decoration essential decorative materials, the current popular bathroom hardware and the types of materials are relatively rich, generally different materials, bathroom hardware, which reflects the texture and advantages and disadvantages are also Different, today Xiaobian here for you to analyze the following analysis!
Bathroom hardware material analysis:

Villa Limyros Reviews
Lovely family villa in perfect location.Great pool and villa amenities, with spacious rooms and well equipped Kitchen. . Within walking distance to shops, restaurants ,supermarket, bus stop and sandy beach. Turkish hospitality at its best. Great shopping too .Would recommend and visit again
This villa was absolutely stunning! It really was wonderful and the town was very nice location was perfect for the local town and beach (Kalkan has great shops & restaurants). Lots of places to see nearby (Sakli Kent was breathtaking) This holiday was definitely my families favourite vacation and we would highly recommend it to anyone
Just Beautiful. The location was perfect. The area was pretty quiet. The Villa was spacious and modern. We loved the villa , enjoyed the pool and views. We had a great time preparing meals on the BBQ.
This Villa was more than what we expected. We had a wonderful Holiday. Villa and Pool were excellent.
Great Villa with beautiful views especially from the terrace. Clean spacious and great for a large family. We had a problem with a/c unit in twin room, dripping water. However, we just changed bedrooms as we had a spare. Loved Kalkan. Boat trip to Las was our highlight. Owner Mr ferit was a real character. so much to do type holiday.
Have just returned from Villa Limyros and we really enjoyed Kalkan it is simply so pretty. Most days we took a boat to Patras beach which has to be one of the finest and nature beaches anywhere. Nothing I can compare it too. Loved Turkey, the food, people and the villa. thank you so much.
We really enjoyed our stay - the beds were comfy with plenty of pillows. The pool area was lovely and the quality of poolside furniture was excellent.
We had a excellent time.
Large clean modern villa in quiet surroundings.Ten minutes walk from the lovely center of Kalkan. Very good size pool which is immaculately kept.
We felt we were given a warm welcome and agent was very obliging about having our needs met. Villa met all our expectations and the pool was nice and secluded.
Had a great relaxing time in Kalkan and the walk home from the old town was not that bad. Very friendly people and excellent restaurants. Weather was excellent will definitely be going to Kalkan again.
Kalkan was a beautiful place to stay even the hill climb home after a choice of suberp meals was tolerable as we were there later in the cooler reason. The villa and facilities were similarly excellent with and exceptional maid service - very friendly very regular and very thorough.We returned to Turkey this year hoping to make it back to Kalkan but availability and a late booking meant it wasnt to be - this time
Ecxellent villa and songul the manager was a lovely woman and made our stay welcoming and homely.

G.A. Minutes 2-23-13
It's the usual suspects tonight along with a person we are meeting for the first time. He is interested in Occupy and also in the IWW so we start the evening's discussion by talking about unions. We examine the pros and cons of AFSCME, SEIU, Steel Workers, Teamsters, AFL-CIO, IWW and others. We conclude the IWW really has the best plan but unfortunately, they don't have a lot of power these days. Perhaps this is because they have a complete world view and the goal of organizing all workers in all work situations. Other unions are generally focused on the narrow concerns of their membership and this is probably why unions don't get a lot of support from people outside their immediate circle.
It comes to light that our new person is coming from out of town and is looking for a job. An Occupier knows of a company that is greatly in need of help so gives him the contact information along with the remark, "You'll almost certainly be hired." This is good.
We give our new friend a brief history of Occupy Duluth starting with the first big camp at the civic center and first eviction by the police, the brief time spent meeting in the skywalk, our move into the Paul Robeson Ballroom and then the Last Resort homeless camp and second eviction by the police, the time spent at the CJM Memorial until very cold weather forced us back into the skywalk, now we're at 3803 Grand Ave. until the weather lets us go outside again.
As we go over our memories, we arrive at one of our favorite subjects; the lack of basic facilities for poor and homeless people in this town. An Occupier explains we have learned very much about poverty and homelessness over the last year. Most of what we have learned breaks our hearts. The callousness of the capitalist system is astounding.
Almost all the Occupiers attended this morning's PSOH rally. It was a success with a large turnout and lots of support from passersby. The main objective, to get good photos to send to Morgan Chase Bank, was easily met. We plan to attend PSOH's next meeting on Wednesday.
An Occupier announces there will be some things coming up in a few weeks related to Idle No More. When everyone wants to know details she says," Well I really don't know myself, after they finish making the plans they'll let us know. I think there will be some type of fire ceremony." Whatever it is, we plan to be there.
The older Occupiers are tired because of the early activities so the others give them a break and close out the meeting. We'll be back on Tuesday.

Telecoms regulator Ofcom is to review the cost of calling telephone services such as directory enquiries.
According to the watchdog, the amount being spent by consumers on mobile and landline calls has come down in recent years, while people have a wider choice of call packages and phone services.
Nevertheless, Ofcom believes that the cost of calling some telephone service numbers is going up, in particular directory enquiries numbers starting with 118 and 'personal' or 'follow-me' numbers that begin with 070.
The watchdog is carrying out its review to ensure consumers are protected from unfair practices and that the prices are transparent.
"Our Call Cost Review will consider whether consumer harm is arising out of deliberate misconduct or market failure, and what action may be required," Ofcom said.
"We expect to publish detailed proposals later this year. We are also talking to the Phone-paid Services Authority about whether there are any additional consumer protection measures it could consider under its Code of Practice."
More than 500 directory enquiry services offering various options and prices are now available, with call costs varying from 35p per call to £9 and above.
Ofcom said it has been closely looking at the costs of the more expensive services, as prices have gone up "significantly" in the last few months because fewer people are using them.
The regulator's concerns about 070 numbers stem from the fact they might be confused with mobile phone numbers, which start with the same two opening digits.
Ofcom believes there is evidence of scams designed to trick people into believing they are calling a mobile number, when in fact they are calling a service that costs up to £3.40 per minute.

Ride Along tops US box office with Martin Luther King Jr. holiday record
Story by Jack Foley
BUDDY cop comedy Ride Along, starring Kevin Hart and Ice Cube, has topped the US box office over Martin Luther King Jr weekend with $41.2 million.
That figure, which is expected to rise to $48 million or more for the four-day weekend, is the best performance of all-time for a film opening on that weekend. 2008's Cloverfield was the previous record-holder with a three-day gross of $40.1 million and four-day gross of $46.1 million.
According to figures released by Universal, the film's distributor, Ride Along also scored the top opening for the month of January (three day) and one of the best debuts ever for an African-American comedy. It cost an estimated $25 million to make.
Completing an excellent weekend for Universal was the fact that last week's box office winner, Lone Survivor, took a further $23.2 million (which is projected to rise to $27.6 million), to claim second spot. The film, starring Mark Wahlberg and based on the true story of a Navy SEAL tragedy, has now taken $78.4 million in the US.
Animated family film The Nut Job, which features lead vocals from Will Arnett, also performed a lot better than expected, hitting $20.6 million for the three-day weekend, which is projected to rise to $27.2 million.
The only disappointment was Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, which was intended to reboot the Jack Ryan franchise previously made famous by Harrison Ford.
The Chris Pine star vehicle, directed by Kenneth Branagh, was expected to have challenged for top spot but instead came fourth with a three-day gross of $17.2 million, which is projected to rise to $20.4 million.
Shadow Recruit actually performed better overseas, where it opened to a strong $22.4 million as it started rolling out. It has yet to open in the UK.
Another new entry, the $7 million horror flick Devil's Due also disappointed with a low $8.5 million for the three days (rising to $9.5 million?). It placed seventh behind Disney holdover Frozen and awards darling, American Hustle.

Wave Of Darkness 'Zine - Dogmeat Special
What does In Dark Purity 'Zine and Wave Of Darkness 'Zine have in common? Passion for dinuguan (Pork blood stew) and the film "Iyo And Tondo, Akin Ang Cavite" (New York Is Mine, Stockholm Is Yours). Other than that the 'zines always agree to disagree. It features interviews with Anael, Blazing Skies, Bloodstone Entertainment, Centinex, Dew Scented, Embracing, Garwall, Godgory, Inume, Maze Of Torment, Mercenary, Morningstar, Pest, Pesttanz, and Vomitory. There are music reviews, articles about whales, vinyl versus CD, a fucking horrorscope that says I'm a thieving motherfucker that enjoys masturbation more than sex, a best of list, and more insults. This zine is full of hate and disgust so if your band, label, or zine is onionskinned then fuck off and don't bother sending him material for review or hope that he doesn't get a hold of it, because you'll only end up crying to your mother you fucking poser!

"The Music Issue" is the aftermath of a pot session with Albert Alisuag, Fletcher Vargas, Jericho "St. John The Bastard", Yesk, Emil Rex Cruz, Jamie Perez, Brian Castillo, Reymond Bravo, and Gani Simpliciano. It features interviews with Brown Jenkins, By Storm, Copremesis, Extreme Noise Terror, Gnaw Their Tongues, Kult Ov Azazel, Maggot Breeder, Methadrone, Nachtmystium, Odd Zero, Sauna, The Communion, Unfashionable Creatures, and Utnapishtim. There are music and zine reviews, comic strips, articles about analog worship, live bootlegs, MySpace, Moribund Records, Pulverised Records, and more hydro writing. It seems like Bayani Fernando and the MMDA conducted a clean up campaign in the Scrawlshop 'Zine HQ (Hemp Quarter) because the layout is not as chaotic as the previous issues that you need to take Bonamine before reading the 'zine. The format of this issue might have influenced the clean layout (In Scrawlshop 'Zine standards) because there is not a lot of space to fuck shit up. Other than that, high or sober, this issue is a killer read. Twelve issues and this 'zine still burns with passion and dedication. Horns up to Scrawlshop 'Zine!

The Calibration of the Compton Spectrometer and Imager for the 2016 Balloon Campaign (#3558)

The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a balloon-borne soft gamma-ray (0.2-5 MeV) telescope desgined to study astrophysical sources such as gamma-ray bursts, positron annihilation, Galactic nucleosynthesis, and compact objects. COSI was launched from Wanaka, New Zealand in May 2016 and completed a successful 46-day flight on NASA's new super pressure balloon. COSI employs a compact Compton telescope design utilizing 12 high-purity cross strip germanium detectors that measure the deposited energy and position of each interaction. From these measured values, we are able to reconstruct the source position on the sky, perform spectral analysis, and measure the degree of linear polarization of the incident photons. A well-calibrated detector is essential for this high level analysis, and we have implemented an energy and position calibration prior to the 2016 flight. By measuring the spectra of radioactive sources at known line energies, we determine the relation between pulse height and energy. We establish the 3D interaction position from the orthogonal strips and the depth in the detector, which is in turn determined by measuring the charge collection time difference between the anode and the cathode. We will discuss these detector calibrations and the instrument benchmarking done prior to the 2016 flight.

Calocube: a new homogeneous calorimeter for high-energy cosmic rays detection in space (#3186)
G. Bigongiari1, 2
1 INFN, Sezione di Pisa, Pisa, Italy
Unambiguous measurements of the energy spectra and of the composition of cosmic rays up to the knee region, around 1 PeV, could provide important clues on their origin, acceleration mechanism, propagation and composition. Nowadays, due to the extremely low particle rates at these energies, spectral measurements in the knee region are mainly derived from data collected by ground-based detectors and are subject to the high uncertainties typical of indirect measurements, which rely on sophisticated modeling of the interaction of the primary particle with the atmosphere. A space experiment dedicated to measurements in this energy region has to achieve a balance between the requirements of lightness and compactness, with that of a large acceptance to cope with the low particle rates. To overcome this limitation an innovative cubic calorimeter is presented, which addresses these issues while limiting the mass and volume of the detector. The large acceptance needed is obtained by maximizing the number of entrance windows, while thanks to its homogeneity and high segmentation this new detector allows to achieve an excellent energy resolution and an enhanced separation power between hadrons and electrons. A prototype of the proposed detector, instrumented with CsI(Tl) cubic crystals, has already taken data with ion beams at CERN SPS. Its performance and perspective for future experiments in space are discussed.

APiX : a Geiger-mode avalanche digital sensor for charged particle detection (#2908)
P. S. Marrocchesi1, 2
1 University of Siena, Dpt. of Physical Sciences, Earth and Environment, Siena, Italy
The APiX sensor is a position-sensitive detector of ionizing radiation with an internal gain provided by its operation in avalanche mode. Its working principle is based on the on-chip integration of pairs of vertically-aligned pixels operated in coincidence to discriminate between particle events and dark counts. This novel concept allows to reduce the material budget and the power consumption in the presence of a high granularity and fast timing response. A proof-of-principle prototype, implemented under 150 nm standard CMOS, was first characterized and then tested with a high energy particle beam at CERN SPS, featuring a reduction of the dark-count rate (DCR) at room temperature from ~100 kHz/mm2 to about 24 Hz/mm2 and a particle detection efficiency limited only by the geometric factor. Potential applications include high spatial resolution tracking in high-energy experiments, radiation monitoring in space and radiation imaging in nuclear medicine. A small hand-held demonstrator is under construction for radio-guided surgery.

Astronauts and spacecraft are exposed to space radiation from a variety of sources, including cosmic rays, cosmic-ray-induced neutrons and gamma rays. To determine the neutron dose to astronauts and spacecraft, an onboard neutron spectrometer with small size and low consumption design is required. The time-of-flight spectrometer and the moderation spectrometer are rejected for its long flight path and for its heavy-mass moderators, respectively. The organic scintillators have the morbid response matrix to reconstruct neutron spectrum as the responses to neutrons in different energies are highly similar. This paper present a new design of compact neutron spectrometer using the newly developed CLYC (Cs2LiYCl6: Ce) scintillator which is sensitive to both thermal neutrons and fast neutrons. An anti-coincidence plastic scintillator is used to reject the incident charged particle events, and the Pulse Shape Discrimination (PSD) ability of CLYC scintillator was utilized to reject gamma events. This compact neutron spectrometer uses the response matrix of monoenergetic neutrons ranging from thermal to 100 MeV and the response to incident neutrons to determine the neutron spectrum with the IRLS algorithm. The work is verified by the simulation results of Geant4.10.02 code, it shows that the constructed neutron spectrum consistent well with the incident spectrum.

We describe our ongoing work to develop a new medium-energy gamma-ray Compton telescope using advanced scintillator materials combined with silicon photomultiplier readouts and fly it on a scientific balloon. There is a need in high-energy astronomy for a medium-energy gamma-ray mission covering the energy range from approximately 0.4 - 20 MeV to follow the success of the COMPTEL instrument on CGRO. We believe that directly building on the legacy of COMPTEL, using relatively robust, low-cost, off-the-shelf technologies, is the most promising path for such a mission. Fortunately, high-performance scintillators, such as Cerium Bromide (CeBr3) and p-terphenyl, and compact readout devices, such as silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs), are already commercially available and capable of meeting this need. We are now constructing an Advanced Scintillator Compton Telescope (ASCOT) with SiPM readout, with the goal of imaging the Crab Nebula at MeV energies from a high-altitude balloon flight. We expect a ~6-sigma detection in the 0.2 - 2 MeV energy band in a single transit. We present calibration results of the detector modules and full instrument, and updated simulations of the balloon payload sensitivity. If successful, this project will demonstrate that the energy, timing, and position resolution of this technology are sufficient to achieve an order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity in the medium-energy gamma-ray band, were it to be applied to a ~1 cubic meter instrument on a long-duration balloon or Explorer platform.

The EUSO-SPB mission: status and results. (#2470)
F. S. Cafagna1
1 INFN Sezione di Bari, Bari, Italy
The EUSO mission, on board of the International Space Station (ISS), has the primary scientific objective of doing astronomy and astrophysics detecting extreme energy cosmic rays (EECRs), above 3x10^19eV. This Extreme Universe Space Observatory (EUSO), will be the first space mission to be devoted to the study of this extreme energy range with the aim of extending the knowledge on sources, spectra and composition of cosmic rays in this energy range. This mission is a collaborative effort of about 353 Researchers of 89 Institutions, from 16 Countries.
The instrument has been designed to detect the UV photons emitted in the shower produced by the EECR interaction with the atmosphere and reconstruct the arrival direction, the energy and, possibly, the nature of the EECR. This will be possible thanks to a telescope looking downward, from the ISS into the night sky, composed by an optical module that focuses the UV photons onto a focal surface, housing a matrix of multi anode photomultipliers.
An infrared camera and a LIDAR will monitor the atmosphere in the telescope field of view, while an onboard and ground base systems will calibrate it.
The EUSO-SPB mission exploits the EUSO observatory on a super pressure balloon. This pathfinder will circle the southern hemisphere at an altitude of about 33km, potentially floating for duration that may reach 100 days. The instrument has been launched on the 24th of April, from the NASA's CSBF (Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility) base in Wanaka, New Zeeland. At the time of writing, the instrument is taking data at the float altitude and started to transmit data to ground for first analysis.
Besides the description or the detector, details will be given on the first results along with plans for EUSO mission.

Implemented the book selection screen for the reference system. This will allow you to access the journal, which contains notes and evidence and such collected through the player character's rather long career up to the present (this will definitely be used when solving current cases), the notepad, which contains notes the player him/herself has taken, and then other reference material, some of which will be very useful, some of which is more on the 'fluff' side of things.
Goals for tomorrow:
- code up the notepad, to allow the player to take/store notes
- code up the search function, to allow the player to do keyword searches across all of the reference material, or just a specific source.
On another, completely unrelated note, I am currently completely addicted to trance music, and may just die in an explosion of pure happiness, butterflies, and glowstick liquid.

The weekend that started it all:
I love camping – Lake Raystown, boating, sleeping in tents, campfires, s'mores, beer, grilling over the fire, floating on a raft in the lake, 20 Questions, everything about it.
Even the rain couldn't ruin our weekend!
After a weekend full of said events, I needed to get my body in check. Enter: 3 Day Refresh. The program helps give you a kick start (back) into healthy habits. I started the Refresh the Monday after camp weekend and finished that Wednesday. And, if I am being 100% honest, it was hard. However, it was very doable. And this is coming from the hungriest human I know. By hungriest human, I mean I need to eat every 3 hours (at most) or I become very irritable, upset, angry, mean.. Hangry, as some would call it. I think about food from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep, and I am sure that I dream about it too. Anyway…
What does the 3 Day Refresh entail?
It consists of three daily shakes, a fiber drink, plenty of water, and a wide array of fruit, vegetables, healthy fats and dinner options to keep your metabolism and energy going throughout the day.
The meal plan and steps are simple, and there are many options, so eating the healthy meals was not super difficult. Shakeology (which you have everyday for breakfast) contains over 70 Superfoods and 23 vitamins and minerals essential for your health, antioxidants and phytonutrients (help maintain health), adaptogens (for strong immune system), prebiotics and digestive enzymes (aids digestion and increases absorption of nutrients), and protein and essential amino acids (helps build muscle, promote healthy skin, hair and nails, and reduce food cravings). The Vanilla Fresh Shake (which you have twice a day), contains 20 grams of plant protein, 22 essential vitamins and minerals, and probiotics to help promote digestive and immune health. They also help curb hunger and have no artificial flavors, colors, preservatives or sweeteners. The Fiber Sweep Drink (which you have once a day) is created from whole-ground flax, chia, and pysllium seed husks (can naturally help lower cholesterol and support healthy blood sugar levels).
They key (for me) to the program is really meal preparation and spacing out your meals. As I mentioned earlier, I like to eat. So I would have my Shakeology for breakfast, wait a little and then have my fruit. I didn't eat them together. I would then wait at least an hour before having my tea. For lunch I would have my Vanilla Fresh shake, wait a while and have my fruit, then later have my vegetable and healthy fat. I also made sure to drink A LOT of water. I took full advantage of the optional green tea throughout the day and vegetable broth at dinner. Those few things also seemed to help make the program more manageable.
(crunchy aspargus with slivered almonds – one of my new favorites!)
What I really struggled with was working out. Because you don't intake as many calories, working out is not recommended those 3 days. So, when I was teaching my InsanityLIVE class that Tuesday, I felt weak and tired. But overall, the experience was not as terrible as I thought:
LOLZ. It wasn't like my expectations at all and I am so happy I did it. The best part was that I had the support from other coaches that helped me stick with it so I could get the results I was hoping for 🙂
The Results:
I lost 8.2 pounds and 3.5″! Granted – it was after a weekend of indulging in EVERYTHING and it was mostly water weight and bloat, but I felt a helluva lot better and had more energy after those 3 days. I really did feel quite refreshed 😉 I jumped right into the 21 Day Fix after and am still feeling gooood and managed to keep that excess weight off 🙂
I will definitely do it again, mid-July after two weeks of vacation: Reese Family Vacation in Florida followed by the Beachbody Coach Summit in Nashville!!
If you want to join me on the Refresh journey the next time, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com! We can help each other get through those 3 days:)

May 17, 2012, Plainview, New York– ACDS held its most successful golf outing ever on May 10th. The event was sponsored by Monster.com for the second consecutive year. ACDS, located in Plainview, NY is dedicated to providing lifetime resources of exceptional quality, innovation and inclusion for individuals with Down syndrome, autism and other developmental disabilities and their families.
More than 200 golfers took to the greens in two locations – the Garden City Country Club and the Hempstead Golf and Country Club. WABC Channel 7 Eyewitness News Long Island correspondent, Kristin Thorne, served as the emcee for the evening's dinner and awards ceremony, held at Garden City Country Club, following the day of golf.
"Monster is a fervent supporter of ACDS and its important mission of improving the lives of children and adults with disabilities," said Michael C. Miller, EVP and General Counsel of Monster and member of the ACDS board of directors. "We are proud to be the golf outing sponsor again and to be associated with such a worthwhile cause."
"We appreciate the golfers coming out to support this outing. All of the fundraising events that we hold during the year are crucial to ACDS continuing to fulfill its mission, especially in light of ongoing government funding cuts." said Michael M. Smith, Executive Director, ACDS.
Special thanks to the golf committee, which is comprised of board members and ACDS families. "They worked extremely hard to help make the day a success," said Laura Schaefer, ACDS Development Associate. She also applauded ACDS employees who volunteered and worked on the course all day. "We couldn't have done it without them," said Schaefer.

We could not recommend a holiday more highly than the one we have just experienced, it surpassed all of our expectations. Our guide ensured that we enjoyed every activity and the trip to the full, his knowledge was expansive both on geography and with interesting anecdotes.
Bill and Marie Sode
This was a quality, reasonably priced trek, with wonderful experiences that will be remembered and talked about for quite a while. The people of New Zealand are incredibly friendly, helpful and genuine. We loved both islands and are quite happy we spent 14 days on the trek. Bill and Marie Sode
Pamela Tinter
From my numerous pre-trip phone calls to kind and patient Tanya, I had a sense that Moatrek was a special company. Matt is everything one would want in a tour guide...So knowledgeable, interesting, great sense of humor, smart, entertaining AND a great and safe driver! And New Zealand is beyond beautiful! This was a trip of a lifetime! We were also fortunate to have only 13 people in our group and we meshed well with each other!
James L Schmidhammer
The MoaTrek 2-week tour of the North and South islands was an exceptional experience. Our group of 13 had an outstanding tour guide, and we all kept busy with a myriad of excellent activities.
Cheryl Johson
MoaTrek is the way to go if visiting New Zealand! Fabulous itinerary, guides, accommodations and friendly people to enjoy with a small group of travelers. I loved every minute of the trip! Em (Marilyn) was a wonderful guide. It was so fun to hear her stories about growing up in New Zealand and she was very knowledgable about all the places we visited. She is very passionate about her country and that really shined through.
Nancy J Elliott
This was a memorable trip for us. The beauty of New Zealand is breathtaking and the various activities helped us enjoy the many and varied landscapes. The ferry ride, boat rides, airplane rides, hot sulphur springs, hiking in Abel Tasman, and the many other activities all made for an awesome experience.
Roxanne Cobb
Small tours are the way to go especially when you have Matt for a driver, making history Come Alive! Of course you need to take his great sense of humor with a couple of grains of salt... Wish we could have done the whole 28 days, but had to be content with 14 fully packed days of sight seeing and immersion into Kiwis (fruit, bird & 2 legged kinds). Take an extra day to go see Hobbiton - awesome place. My main complaint - my suitcase was underweight! I did not do a good job of supporting the NZ economy! Spectacular scenery, friendly people, great weather, really good beer & flat white coffee. What's not to love? Many thanks!
Agatha Stavrous
Thank you MoaTrek for a great experience. My group was made up of a lovely group of people, we had a great guide and our itinerary was terrific. The special lunches and tours were exceptional and the host/ hostesses charming . Well done!
Paul and Esther Larsen
Our tour of New Zealand with Moa Trek was the trip of a lifetime. We saw so much awesome beauty and learned so much about the country from our terrific guide, Matt. He was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. He has a wonderful sense of humor. There were only 12 of us on the tour which was great. The accommodations were very nice. The tour was very all encompassing allowing us to see all the high spots we could in 14 days. Of the optional activities, I really enjoyed the canopy tour in Rotorua, the Tasman Glacier Explorer Tour and the Jet Boat on the Dart River. Touring Milford Sound at the end of the tour was great timing because it is overwhelmingly beautiful. Getting to see it both from the boat and from the small plane was a true highlight of the trip. I would highly recommend Moa Trek to anyone looking for a small group tour group experience. It was a fabulous trip!
Martha and Karl Woodling
I would personally recommend our tour and MoaTrek to anyone we meet! We had a trip of our lives. Your company & Matt gave us experiences we will always remember - thank you!!!

It happened.
You woke up to find your body out of whack, and you know right away the day is only going to go downhill from there – or will it? Even though your'e exhausted (or in pain all over), there's hope. Here's some tips to keep your sick day as low maintenance as possible.
It's relieving to have some go-to items ready when sickness strikes. When I muster the energy at some point, I'll immediately bust them out to keep at my bedside.
We all heard it before, but it doesn't hurt to say it again: stay hydrated when under the weather, from flus, colds, to a menstruation cycle. I'll keep a thermos of water nearby in order to avoid extra trips so I can rest as much as possible, along with any necessary medicine. I also own a Urpower Diffuser that doubles as a humidifier. Its easy-to-use setup is ideal for sick days. Keep that in mind if you're shopping around for one! The last thing you want is a high maintenance setup diffuser or humidifier while sick.
Confession: I wrote up this post by hand in bed while sick because I didn't have the energy to sit at the computer, and was in a lot of pain. But I was mentally awake enough to do something because restlessness is expected when I'm sick. If you have the productivity urge, that's totally normal! But don't pull out the phone or laptop. Keep those closed and turn off the T.V so as not to overstimulate your brain. Instead, play some relaxation music (this is fine, just don't stare at the playlist) and pull out that book or magazine you've been procrastinating to with. If chores might be delayed because of your sick day(s), why not jot down a list of things you'll need to do when you're feeling better? Bed-bound activities are totally fine to work on, but make sure they're not crazy. Why? So you can close your eyes to rest whenever possible.
When it comes to self-care there are some simple everyday ways to pamper yourself to keep in mind. Draw that bubble bath or toss in somebath salts to create a relaxing environment. If this isn't an option, take a quick (but soothing) shower. Afterward, get out a big plastic bowl, preferably one you don't use in the kitchen. Make sure you can place both feet in it at once, and pour some warm-to-hot water followed by salts. If you're up to it, give yourself a foot scrub. Lately I've been using Freeman Barefoot Exfoliating Polish , which leaves my feet really smooth.
The winter weather's arrived where I am, and already I've had a minor cold. Do you have an emergency Sick Kit ready like I do? Keep warm and healthy – and don't forget to take care of yourself, even when you're sick!

After an intense week with seven people in the house, I have been thinking a lot about coexisting- what it means; (exits at the same time or in the same space; exist in harmony).
The harmony was not included in last week's experience but we survived. I need to create a space where all my family can coexist.
I am happy to see how the day's with Ali are rhythmic with both mine and her needs met. I appreciate this. Children make coexistence seem effortless. I wonder if we all did what we truly wanted/needed, if a lot of the chaos in the world would be relieved.
Would love to see more from your studio, Angela- I'll send you some work in progress too.

Celebrating the life of Gabriel Cariño-Rodriguez
AUTODIDACT 17 | 2/8/2018, 5:07 p.m.
Family and friends paid their respects and reflected on the life of Gabriel Cariño-Rodriguez during two days of going home ceremonies last Friday and Saturday. He joined the ancestors Jan. 17, at 93 years of age, after a brief stay at the Bronx's Montefiore Hospital.
Gabriel Cariño-Rodriguez was born May 23, 1924, in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, as one of the 13 children conceived by Sergio Cariño-Donato and Filomena Rodriguez-Soto.
He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1941, where he learned several skills such as construction, electrical work and plumbing, as well as cooking, which he continued to do after being discharged. He also served a tour of duty overseas during World War II, which he was very proud of doing in defense of his country.
He returned to his homeland afterward and married Giselda Garcia, with whom he fathered two children, Aida Iris and Angel Gabriel "Vitin."
He migrated to New York in 1949, where he worked various odd jobs before establishing his career with Ford Motors in Mahway, N.J., before retiring a couple of decades later.
Gabriel remarried in 1954, to Miguelina Higgins-Concepcion, and they had five children together—Brunnie, Lillie, Marilyn, Willie and Carlos.
Cariño-Rodriguez's entrepreneurial spirit drove him to operate a food truck, bringing fresh products to the community, and later in 1966 he purchased and operated a grocery store in West Harlem. Also, throughout the 1980s he ran a restaurant on Burnside Avenue in the Bronx, where he also served as its head chef.
In 1971 he sacrificed his career and relocated his family to his native Puerto Rico so that his children could be raised in a better environment, away from the urban jungle. While there, he purchased the same land he was raised on as a child, before returning to the Bronx in 1976.
He soon aligned with the Mosholu Woodlawn South Community Coalition, a local association of the Northwest Bronx community, and the Clergy Commission, where he organized a Tenant's Association. He often rallied residents to ensure they knew their rights and pressured owners so that the buildings maintained clean living conditions and the upkeep of utilities, which made tenants very happy.
During Friday's services his children reflected on how their father was an astute self-taught scholar and voracious reader who specialized in geography and world history and about how he taught himself to play the guitar and often wrote songs that he loved to perform for his family.
Cariño-Rodriguez is survived by his brother, Juan, seven children, six grandchildren, one great-granddaughter, a host of nephews, nieces, cousins, in-laws and other relatives, as well as many friends who loved him dearly. He was preceded by his second grandchild Myra Pagan, and his wife Miguelina, who transitioned in 1988.
Saturday morning, the going home services were chaperoned by U.S. Military guardsman in recognition of his committed dedicated military service. His body was later interred at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx.

|Julio Cortez/Associated Press
|New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul possesses remarkable athletic ability at 6-foot-5, 278 pounds.
In the spirit of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, we're projecting which NFL players would be best suited to participate in 10 popular sports.
To my knowledge, there aren't any NFL players with legitimate gymnastic experience. Still, I was able to come up with three freakish athletes who can do some crazy things with their bodies:
Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, New York Giants
I have JPP scheduled to handle the floor exercise routine. As he proved in this video, he is a master of the backflip. Unfortunately, I don't think he could compete in any other events. (I'm not quite sure those rings would be able to hold him up ...)
Jerome Simpson, WR, Minnesota Vikings
I have Simpson slated to handle the vault event. His epic front flip into the end zone against the Arizona Cardinals last season was all I needed to see. I've done my homework and think with a little bit of training Simpson would be fully capable of pulling off a Kasamatsu stretched with multiple twists or a Tsukahara double backs in a tuck and piked position. (They're impressive. Trust me.)
Darren Sproles, RB, New Orleans Saints
I have yet to figure out which event would best suit the hyper-athletic Sproles, but I do like the fact that he'd actually be the same height as his competition. I'm open to any and all suggestions.

Trent, don't forget to raise the speed limit to 120 mph.
"I would help poor people in other countries by not just giving them money, but by sending missionary groups to show them how to grow their own food. The missionaries would also tell them about Christ," says Katie, 10.
After Japan surrendered in 1945, General Douglas MacArthur became Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in charge of rebuilding the Japanese government. To a visiting group of evangelicals, MacArthur said: "Japan is a spiritual vacuum. If you do not fill it with Christianity, it will be filled with Communism. Send me 1,000 missionaries." He asked U.S. missionary societies to send "Bibles, Bibles and more Bibles."
Can you imagine a U.S. president or American general asking for missionaries as a part of our foreign aid program? MacArthur knew that a spiritual vacuum resides inside of every person. Without Christ, a life will be filled with something else. That something else can be very destructive and cruel, as the world experienced in the struggle against Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany. We're seeing the same kind of cruelty today in the terrorism of Islamic fascism.
"If I were president, I would pray for everyone in the world and make friends with them," says Joseph, 7.
Think about this: No president can solve all the problems of the world, but a praying president can seek God's will and wisdom as he faces them. There is one thing Christians can do to make a huge difference in our government: Pray.
Memorize this truth: "Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence." (I Timothy 2:1-2)
Ask this question: When is the last time you prayed for the president and his advisers?

We at Casa de Martell have been arguing about the movie Blood Diamond. It's not what you think…we both thought – with the exception of the last ten minutes – that the movie was pretty well done. We have been arguing about Mr. diCaprio's South African accent. the husband says it's crap. i say it's pretty decent. he says, "he keeps losing it" i say "it's a pleasure to see a movie that doesn't use a generic UK accent for any movie taking place outside of the US (anyone see Rome? surely they didn't speak with UK accents in those days…)" he says "he uses to many eh, bra's" i say, "i thought they were a nice touch."
anyway, it got me thinking about other questionable accents in movies. and for the record, in case you wondering, one of the best accents i've seen is Hugh Laurie's accent on House. It fantastic (and yes, not a movie, i realize)
1. Sean Connery – The Hunt for Red October. Sean Connery does one accent. he's Scottish in The Untouchables (Irish). He's Scottish in The Highlander (Egyptian) and he's – surprise, surprise – Scottish in Red October (Russian). but he's Sean Connery, so we grant him a little latitude.
2. Tom Cruise – Far and Away. Top o' the morning, he might want to stick to the couch jumping.
3. Dick Van Dyke – Mary Poppins
4. Don Cheadle – Ocean's Eleven. Don does Dick Van Dyke doing Mary Poppins. worst. cockney. ever.
5. Al Pacino – Scarface. say hello to a really shitty accent.
6. Julia Roberts – Mary Reilly. she was supposed to be Irish, but came across more like a British woman who spent too much time on the bayou.
7. Jude Law – I Heart Huckabees. now i heart Jude Law and i'd let him talk dirty to me with his crappy american accent any day…but it was incredibly distracting to watch. more than his attempt at a Southern accent in All the King's Men.
8. Ewan McGregor – Big Fish. See #7. he can talk dirty to me in his slow southern drawl, but hot damn it was bad. which is a shame because his Scottish accent makes me weak in the knees.
9. Nicholas Cage – Captain Corelli's Mandolin. and Con Air. There are no words. just. none.
10. Angelina Jolie – Alexander. yikes. she looks hot. but i don't even know what she was trying to speak? Russian accent?
11. Keanu Reeves – Bram Stoker's Dracula. Keanu Reeves IS Ted. or is it Bill? I'm not sure. but either way, he's a surfer dude. he belongs nowhere near Bram Stoker's anything. "I know Kung Fu!" is pretty much where his range ends…
12. James Van Der Beek – Varsity Blues. i don't want your life. or your southern acccent.
13. Kevin Costner – Thirteen Days and JFK. might be the worst Boston accent ever.
bonus bad accenting at its worst:
Drew Barrymore – Ever After. as if that movie wasn't bad enough…

Boiled eggs, painted eggs, candy eggs, chocolate eggs.....this is all very egg-citing!! Yes, I know.....that is a really corny stupid joke! But not liking eggs at this time of year, could be really problematic! Eggs of every kind remind us of the season of rebirth and by the time this post goes live in the morning, it will be Easter Sunday! So if you and your family celebrate Easter...."Happy Easter to you!" May your day be full of love, remembrance, thankfulness, family and of course a little bit of chocolate!

One of the many things I love about baseball is that when it comes to playoff time, teams have to be good. There's no "Bottom Feeders" sneaking into the post season and cruising their way to a World Series championship, all right, sometimes it happens but in most cases it is el supremo of supremo. That's why I love baseball.
Why does #BryanCranston love baseball? Just watch:
Now, you notice the absence of the Chicago Cubs? Yeah, so did I. That won't happen next year.
Believe it.

Ho, this says a lot in a few words.......and could be a metaphor for other life forms as well as ragweed. Good one!ReplyDelete
Yes, succinct and strong - love the word 'oozes', rich!ReplyDelete
Thanks to both of you!ReplyDelete
@Sherry: i intended this to be a metaphor for human behaviour. I'm glad you got it.
Oh the hatred is boiling over. Sadly very true in many places...

I have tried using the pen tool in Illustrator before only to fail miserably and close the program. I know how to use Photoshop for webdesign and photo editing, but I want to broaden my horizon and learn Illustrator for several upcoming projects. So, when I came across this course I decided to take the plunge and so far I'm really enjoying it.
For my project I've decided to recreate the poster Russia: Moscow by Anderson Design Group Inc. I have asked them for permission to use the poster. They were really kind and granted me it without a problem.
Full credit:
Russia: Moscow © by Shelby Rodeffer & Joel Anderson
The colours and shapes are absolutely lovely in this poster and I can't wait to use all the techniques I have learnt so far to recreate it. I can already see some parts which are going to be hard to make, but I'm up for the challenge.
This is what I have so far. I've used several tools here to achieve the result that you see. The pathfinder tool was pretty nice to cut out some shapes out of other shapes, this helped me a lot with some of the brown arcs that you see. Some of the shapes that I've used are rectangles and rounded rectangles. For some of the bigger brown and red parts I've created a rectangle and later added path points to it with the pen tool and moved them with the Direct Selection Tool (A) to make the shapes. For some of the green parts I've used the pen tool only. I feel really comfortable with the pen tool now, especially after practising some circles and half-circles in another file.
I'll update as soon as possible. Looking forward on finishing this piece!
Thank you.

The Underground Railroad in Delaware County: Past and Present
This story is about a house. Jennie Reed's house.
"I love that about the house," she said.
She's been living in her Delaware County home for almost a year. She's a retired teacher of 31 years who loves history and now lives in it.
"They wanted to be free so bad they were willing to put their own lives at risk," she said.
This room in the upstairs of her home is her crafts room.
But, it wasn't always.
It used to be a secret room that gave shelter to runaway slaves on the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. She says she feels the history in the house.
"Sometimes more than I want to," she laughed. "Sometimes I hear things that I can't explain."
She says they are good spirits from people who were afraid and are now free.
The room, she says, didn't used to have a door or window attached to it. Essentially, it was a secret room that was accessed from the basement.
Across town, it's a different house with the same story.
Donna Meyer, the executive director of the Delaware County Historical Society, says The Meeker Homestead also likely housed runaway slaves both in the attic and the basement.
She says in Delaware County there were at least 30 Underground Railroad havens. In the state of Ohio, she says there are more than 300.
Reed calls these havens valuable lessons we can all learn from.
"When we're scared, we need to have the courage to move through things and have faith that we're going to make it," she said.
Wednesday night, the Delaware County Historical Society hosted "Homes in Delaware County on the Underground Railroad," which was a free event open to the public that featured homes that can still be seen that were active "stations" during the period of 1800 through 1863.

Daan Mogot City is one of the biggest park resident in Jakarta. It's built on a 16 ha of land,
focussing on a harmonious living interaction between home, family, and nature so you can
live with the bigger dream and enjoy a bigger life.
The development is dedicating as 60% of land for the park and facilities, creating a very huge and
comfortamble living space for you and your family. A life where you can enjoy a bigger space for your activities with your loved one.
With a double deck sctructure concept which separate pedestrian and vehicles, means that the second deck space
will be totally dedicated for park and facilities where people can comfortably commute, while cars will only be
allowed to travel though the first deck. This will enable a safer environment for children to grow and play within the neighbourhood.


text: I just watched the video and I THINK I understand why we think the union is telling us something different than what we're reading.... "The UPS/IBT Plan will recognize full-time service in the CS Plan for determining eligibility for the benefits in this section and will offset at Normal Retirement Age the benefits accrued from the CS Plan commencing at Normal Retirement Age." "If the benefit paid from the CS Plan is reduced as permitted or required by law, the amount of such reduction shall not be included in this offset." This last part seems to say that if the benefit is reduced, UPS is not obligated to pay the difference, which is why we seem to think we're getting 2 different stories. However, after listening to the video, I think the problem is that we're reading this backwards. I know when I read it, I took "offset" to mean the portion that UPS pays to make up the difference. According to the video, that is INCORRECT. The video states that UPS is assuming 100% of your pension liability until age 65. That is why you would get one single check for your pension payment. At age 65, Central States begins to pay its portion of your pension liability. That is why at age 65, you would begin to get 2 checks - one from UPS, and a second from CS. This is known as an offset. Now, knowing that we've been reading this backwards, and the offset is not UPS's portion but rather Central States, you can now take this language to mean that what the union is saying is not only correct, but also spelled out in black and white, right in the contract. If the offset is the CS portion, it actually means that if CS reduces it's payment, UPS is obligated to make up the difference because the reduction shall not be included in this offset. It was a long day and it's pretty late for me, so I apologize if my explanation is getting more muddled as I ramble on. But I do recommend watching the video and really paying attention to what the pension expert is saying. Specifically, he starts talking about this "offset" stuff around the 30 minute mark. I wanted to get this out while it was fresh in my head, I'll try to get some sleep and clear my thoughts up tomorrow. Maybe one of you night owls that watched the video with a clearer head can pick up where I left off.

Download key generator for Gemcom Surpac v6.4.1-LAV
Gemcom Surpac is the worlds most popular geology and mine planning software, supporting open pit and underground operations and exploration projects in more than 120 countries. The software delivers efficiency and accuracy through ease-of-use, powerful 3D graphics and workflow automation that can be aligned to company-specific processes and data flows.
Surpac addresses all the requirements of geologists, surveyors, and mining engineers in the resource sector and is flexible enough to be suitable for every commodity, orebody and mining method. Its multilingual capabilities allow global companies to support a common solution across their operations.
Surpac 6.4 Benefits:
- Surpac 6.4 takes advantage of the additional RAM available on the Windows 64-bit operating system, enabling users to work with block models with larger block counts or a larger number of attributes, as well as Digital Terrain Model (DTM) surfaces and solids with a high triangle count.
- The Dynamic Shells module provides implicit modelling to interactively create grade shells from drillholes and sample information. Fully integrated with Surpac, it saves time when initially evaluating deposits and can assist in generating surfaces and solids in moments as opposed to hours.
- Surpacs new Mesh Tools module simplifies complex models with high triangle counts. Linear analysis determines the minimum distance between two datasets, highlighting the most economically advantageous route, while deviation analysis compares two surfaces by plotting the relative distances between them in a colour-coded map displaying main areas of deviation. The Mesh Tools are built on advanced software technology from Dassault Systmes, demonstrating early benefits to GEOVIA customers of the 2012 acquisition.
- New quick plane functionality allows users to easily create, store, and use plane definitions in the vertical, horizontal, or oblique alignments, and speeds up navigation by accessing sections and levels in a non-sequential way.
- New Stereoscopic 3D visualisation enhances the illusion of depth perception in a 3D model with a 3D capable monitor or TV and glasses, providing better visualisations for presentations and decision making.
