Water Damage leading to Mold Growth
Mold is a micro-organism which is everywhere; we are surrounding by mold spores at home, at work, and out in the natural environment. Mold spores that are controlled, are not harmful to most people, however when mold spores are elevated and in high numbers, they can cause health symptoms to not only those with allergies, but those who have a strong immune system.
Mold needs 3 things to grow:
Once mold spores are given these three ingredients, is when we start to see the visible signs. It is almost impossible to prevent the first two ingredients, which is why we, as homeowners and property owners, need to do our best to prevent any possible water damage or water leaks.

Our certified and trained employees will identify if it is safe for you to clean or if an inspection is necessary to determine the proper and safe removal of the mold.
Categories of Water Damage that can lead to Mold Growth
According to Industry Guidelines set forth by IICRC, The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration, water damage is categorized into three different types:
Category 1: Water damage from water leaks from the sink or appliances. This category does not present harm to one's health.
Category 2: Gray water - The color itself shows that the water is contaminated with microorganism and can affect ones health if not treated properly. These water damages are from a broken toilet or seepage.
Category 3: This last category is unsanitary and the most dangerous. It contains bacteria and other killing organism which affects the health heavily. This is from sewage backups and drain backups.
Any of these can be a reason for mold to start growing if not dried out quickly and properly. The above-mentioned water categories may happen at any time, such as a burst pipe or a drain backup, so prepare yourself if the time comes, to call the right professionals!
We at Canada's Restoration Services Vancouver can have a team on site within 45 minutes. Our quick response ensures that your home or property is dried out promptly to prevent secondary water damage, such as mold growth, from occurring.

Today's surprise showers are a result from an upper level storm system coming in the from the north, but forecasters say the sun could be shining through by noon.
In Rancho Cucomunga, the light rain was mixed in with some snow, but west of Los Angeles County didn't feel much of the rain.
"Usually these type of storm systems are dry, but this one managed to drag in some moisture from the ocean," Accuweather forecaster Dave Samuhel said.
"The showers will probably end by noon and then we should see the sun come out and it will be a nice end to the day."
Afternoon temperatures will be in the high 50s to low 60s. Sunny skies are predicted throughout the weekend with temperatures warming to the upper 60s.

Episode 19 - Markus Mentzer
Markus Mentzer (This is the End, Neighbors, The Diary of a Teenage Girl, Garfunkel & Oates) has one of those jobs that when you explain it to someone who doesn't work in the film business it sounds both bizarre and insanely impossible...which it is. He's a 1st Camera Assistant (commonly known as a "Focus Puller") and among many other things he keeps the image you see in the movie theater in focus. I consider it to be the hardest and most thankless job on a film set and when you find...

Jay met Kathrin just recently while working on the upcoming series "Con Man" (starring Alan Tudyk, Nathan Fillion, and almost the whole Joss Whedon-verse). Kathrin is from Austria and runs a pretty smooth Art Department. That was enough to inspire a little conversation about how she went from a tiny little town in the Austrian Alps to the glamorous landscape of sun baked pavement and cavernous sound stages here in Hollywood. It's the Interntational Edition of Best Job Ever. Viel Vergnügen!
Episode 16 - Reza Tabrizi pt2
Much like The Godfather...pt2 is better. Enjoy
Episode 15 - Reza Tabrizi pt1
Growing up in the 1980's in Tehran, Iran the last place anyone expected Reza Tabrizi to end up in would be Hollywood, CA.

Episode 11 - Chad Damiani
Chad Damiani is yet another example of that typical, by the book, Hollywood career trajectory you've all heard before...Avant Garde Theater to Pro Wrestling Live Commentating to Studio Screenwriting by day and Underground Comedy Cultivator by night. All kidding aside, Chad's story is anything but predictable. The great Hunter S Thompson once wrote, "When the going gets weird, the weird turn Pro". Yep. Enjoy.

After bullied girl's suicide, parents sue New Jersey school district
The attorney for Dianne and Seth Grossman, whose daughter died by suicide last June, filed a lawsuit against Rockaway Township school district. NorthJersey
ROSELAND, N.J. — Dianne and Seth Grossman, the parents of 12-year-old Mallory Grossman who died by suicide last June, have filed a lawsuit that names Rockaway Township, its school district and school administrators as defendants.
"One year ago, on June 14, sixth-grader Mallory Grossman, who attended Copeland Middle School in Rockaway [died by suicide] and she did so after being relentlessly bullied by four of her classmates," their attorney Bruce Nagel said.
Nagel said school officials failed "horribly" in its obligation to keep Mallory safe.
The complaint reveals details of the bullying and how the school system failed the Grossmans, Nagel said.
The lawsuit lists acts of bullying undertaken by a group of the four minors "acting together and individually" toward Mallory Grossman during the 2016-2017 school year.
More: Teen to meet first lady after posting anguished video on bullying
More: How far would you go to protect your child from bullying?
In one instance, the suit alleges, one of the students texted a picture of Mallory Grossman walking alone, captioned with the phrase "You have no friends."
In another incident, the suit alleges, the same child who sent the text message asked Mallory Grossman, "When are you going to kill yourself?"
The question, according to the suit was asked in front of a group of students.
The suit further describes Mallory Grossman sitting alone during school lunches. Eventually, the suit alleges, she became so "ostracized" that she took to eating lunch in the Copeland Middle School guidance office.
Nagel's Roseland-based law firm, Nagel Rice, announced the Grossmans' intent to sue last August, claiming that school officials failed to stop the ongoing abuse that led to Mallory's death.
Dianne Grossman said bullying sent her daughter on a downward spiral that lasted for months. Grossman watched her daughter's grades plummet while repeated pleas to school officials for help went ignored.
The document describes "systematic abuse" during specific classes, like choir, which, according to the suit, Mallory Grossman "loved," but stopped taking in an effort to avoid the abuse.
More: With suicide rates on rise, can therapy apps like Talkspace, BetterHelp help?
More: I lost my son Tyler Clementi to suicide. On Father's Day, let's speak up against bullying.
"She talked about how horrible it was to be at school," Dianne Grossman said.
Grossman said she repeatedly showed school officials "horrible" social media posts and texts classmates sent to her daughter by her and that she followed up with them regularly to no avail.
"I wanted them to take swift and effective action," Dianne Grossman said.
The family sought help from guidance counselors, teachers, the vice principal and principal of Copeland Middle School, Nagel said at the time, but all of it "fell on deaf ears."
The district denied that it ignored the bullying.
"The allegation that the Rockaway Township School District ignored the Grossman family and failed to address bullying in general, is categorically false," it said through a statement on its website that was also sent to NorthJersey.com and The Record.
School district officials did not return further requests for comment.

Grossman said the family spent the anniversary of Mallory's death privately while township residents gathered and lit candles at Parks Lake.
"The anniversary was last week and now we are filing," Nagel said.

DH helped me make paintshop read the images correctly (now transparent images are really transparent - yay!) and I am back in business. Here's my first successful layout. YAY!

My Instagram account has a theme of crazy, colourful, pumped-up sunsets. They are blatantly edited and exciting to look at (though I say so myself). And I am very proud of this theme for several reasons, one of which is that I haven't found anyone else that is doing the same.
Uniqueness is certainly an asset when it comes to Instagram, but it leaves me with the problem; what do I call this theme? Some themes are moody, colourful or clean. Others are based on a single colour, are consistently washed-out, or have a topically (rather than visually) based theme.
So if anyone knows what my theme should be called / would like to make up a term, I'm all ears. Perhaps a brand new hashtag is even in order… Alternatively, if you've ever done something similar / sunset-based yourself, I'd love to see your account.

Did you know there are easy choices you can make to reduce your winter bills? We want to help you save money. That's why we've partnered up with our friends at ATCOenergy to show you some ways you can save on your energy costs this winter. See all the ways you can save this season below:
1. Have an energy audit done in your home to find air leaks; seal or fix any problem areas.
2. Add insulation to attic and walls to increase the total R value of your house.
3. Install a programmable thermostat. Set the temperature to go down 5*F (3*C) for times when you are sleeping or away from home. The temperature set to warm the house before you get up or arrive back home will make sure you are always warm and cozy.
4. Close doors and heating vents in unused rooms. Be certain there is no plumbing in the walls of these unused rooms as the temperature could drop enough to freeze any plumbing.
5. Keep curtains and furniture from blocking heating registers and cold air return vents.
6. Vacuum heating registers and cold air return vents. Also vacuum as far as you can on the inside.
7. Make sure all registers and vents are open. If necessary, replace any that are damaged and will not open and shut.
8. Circulate heated air using electric ceiling fans.
9. Keeping the basement cold may make your ground floor colder so keep the basement just warm.
10. When not using a fireplace, keep the chimney damper closed.
11. Open window coverings during the day to let the sun in and warm your rooms. Close window coverings at night.
12. Blinds do a better job than regular fabric draperies in insulating from the cold. Special insulated draperies and blinds are available.
13. Use energy-efficient, low-wattage bulbs such as LED bulbs.
14. Use a timer or photoelectric cell to turn on lights at dusk.
15. Install a high efficiency furnace that uses less natural gas.
16. Have all gas-burning appliances checked by a qualified technician once a year.
17.Replace or clean furnace filters at the beginning of the colder weather. Then replace or clean them regularly according to the information from the furnace of filters.
18. Reduce hot water use and reduce the natural gas or electricity needed to heat the water
a. Install a high efficiency water heater b. Lower the temperature on the hot water tank to 120 or 130°F. A drop in 10 degrees can give savings of 3-5% c. Install reduced-flow shower heads in bathrooms d. Keep hot showers as short as possible e. Use a high efficiency washing machine which uses less water f. Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible.
19. Clean the dryer lint filter after every use.
20. Use small appliances like an electric frypan, microwave oven or toaster oven instead of the oven.
21. If you do need to use your oven, only pre-heat as long as necessary, and try to cook more than one dish at a time or cook one
right after the other. Do not open the oven door to check if your dish is done; keep the oven window clean so you can look inside
22. Use a slow cooker for long-cooking dishes instead of your oven. It uses less electricity than using the oven or stovetop.
23. Use photoelectric lighting on the outside of your house or change the timers to only come on when it gets dark.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) and Project Lead The Way, Inc. have partnered in a national engineering initiative that will promote pre-engineering courses for middle and high school students, form partnerships between local school teachers and Northrop Grumman engineers, and strengthen the link between industry and education.
The program pairs a Project Lead The Way(r) teacher with a Northrop Grumman engineer at each school site. The engineers will serve as mentors for teachers and attend classes weekly. During these classes, the engineers will be able to guide students through real-world applications of lessons learned in the classroom, and students will have the opportunity to collaborate and work directly with engineers.
"Northrop Grumman supports this unique initiative because it establishes an ongoing relationship between an engineer and a classroom teacher," said Sandra Evers-Manly, vice president of Corporate Responsibility for Northrop Grumman. "It offers an opportunity to inspire students to consider careers in engineering, and it has the potential to address the nation's shortage of engineers."
Under a $45,000 grant from Northrop Grumman Foundation, three public schools in San Diego's Poway Unified School District are participating in the initiative: Rancho Bernardo High School, Bernardo Heights Middle School, and Mesa Verde Middle School.
Four engineers from the company's Integrated Systems Rancho Bernardo Development Center have volunteered to be mentors: George Medica; Charles Muckenthaler; Gene Fraser, vice president and deputy of the company's Integrated Systems Western Region and Unmanned Systems; Greg Marien; Sarah Hall; and Janice Kawamura, manager of Human Resources & Administration.
"I really enjoy working with students and look forward to participating with the teacher to help inspire the students to pursue careers in science and engineering," said Greg Marien, one of the Northrop Grumman volunteers.
Under this first-of-its-kind program, the classroom teacher will model effective teaching techniques and follow Project Lead The Way(r) high school Pathways To Engineering(tm) or middle school Gateway To Technology(r) courses. Engineers will assist the classroom teacher by sharing their knowledge and industry experience to reinforce the specific requirements established for that day by the curriculum.
To assist the classroom teacher during the second semester, the mentor engineer will work directly with students or teams of students within the classroom on selected activities. Additional activities may include presenting examples from the industry to the class in alignment with the curriculum plan and supporting the program outside the classroom through presentations to interested parents and community groups on topics such as the importance of school and industry relationships, careers in the industry and at Northrop Grumman, and visions of the future in engineering.
Project Lead The Way, Inc. is the premier pre-engineering high school and middle school program in the nation. Offered in over 2,722 schools, Project Lead The Way(r) offers: a multi-course curriculum; required professional training of all its teachers at summer institutes at the nation's finest engineering colleges and universities; a local, state, and national support system to establish quality standards; and college credit for teachers and students meeting its standards.
Northrop Grumman Corporation is a $30 billion global defense and technology company whose 120,000 employees provide innovative systems, products, and solutions in information and services, electronics, aerospace and shipbuilding to government and commercial customers worldwide.

Rocket Servergraph
Improve storage capacity planning; realize an immediate ROI
Avoid surprise overruns and last minute purchases
Running out of storage can affect the performance of critical applications leading to costly outages and angry users. Servergraph lets you diagnose storage issues while optimizing the performance of applications that depend on any storage element.
Manually collecting data in spreadsheets for capacity planning and forecasting is a time-consuming exercise that isn't always effective. Without a storage monitoring tool, it can be challenging to identify trends or sporadic storage consumption. Servergraph automates the creation of storage utilization and trending reports that can play a key role in capacity and budget planning. With Servergraph you can easily identify when you're approaching capacity limits, address bottlenecks and avoid costly last minute purchases.
Servergraph storage utilization reports show you what's going on with your storage today, what's consuming storage, and where you may have looming capacity constraints. Rebalance your storage load by proactively freeing up additional storage space you didn't know you had.
At-a-glance view of storage utilization, including free space

Servergraph's "Hog Factor" report lists the top fifty "storage abusers" by "hog factor" as well as identifying backups of "stale data," helping you eliminate them through improved deduplication processes, incremental backups and the reduction of retained backups. In many cases, Servergraph customers see an immediate ROI by freeing up precious storage capacity and cycles, avoiding the purchase of additional storage hardware.

STREETS OF SIN (Rounder-Shock).
The carnival is closed for the winter/ the gates are full of nails/ all my belongings in a camper truck/ in front of some hellhole motel. - Carnival Bum - Joe Ely
When Joe Ely fled his West Texas home to join the circus at 16 he sowed the seeds of Carnival Bum written five decades later.
Ely, now 56, rode an open boxcar to New York and toiled in circuses before heading to Europe with a theatre group.
But it was another group, The Flatlanders - formed with Butch Hancock and Jimmie Dale Gilmore in 1970 - that earned belated fame with the first of three albums.
Now, on Ely's 15th solo disc Streets Of Sin, he reprises tales from a rich career including Europe tours with The Clash and here with Jimmy Barnes in the early 80's.
Although Ely, born in Amarillo and playing Lubbock bars at 14, shared billing here the paucity of airplay for his riveting country rock hybrid confined his impact to Sydney, Melbourne, Queensland and the Shipwreck Coast of Victoria.
" Carnival Bum was written about the days when I used to travel with Ringling Brothers Circus and the South Plains Carnival , Ely revealed recently.
It was a terrible job. I took care of llamas and the world's smallest horse and shovelled elephant shit. It was funny because the turnover in ring stock, which is taking care of the animals, is so quick that within three weeks I had the highest seniority. I got kicked in the ribs by a horse and broke a couple of ribs, and it was too painful to work, so I decided to quit, and they begged me to stay on because I had the most seniority."
That's Ely's strength - he gives his narrative parables credibility, especially those with a family focus.
Mama got a job in the cotton gin/ grading cotton by the bale/ she cried when a trailer full of cotton came in/ from the farm we had to sell. - All That You Need - Joe Ely.
The self-deprecatory humour of Twisty River Bridge works a lot better than finale I Got To Find Ol' Joe .
I woke up in St James Divine , all wrapped up in plaster and twine/ the nurse said I made the front page of the River City Sunday Times.
The optimism of That's Why I Love You Like I Do is countered by morose mortality of Hancock's Wind's Gonna Blow You Away.
So what about Ely for novitiates who can't access paltry airplay time frames here?
Well, his tales of wanderlust have an appeal embellished by his harmonica, Joel Guzman on accordion and organ and extra guitar by David Grissom and Rob Gjersoe who adds dobro.
So where did that vivid imagery start?
The Santa Fe-Rock Island railroad track was just outside my back door and I had been reading Jack Kerouac, Ely told me in an interview at his home outside Austin in 1983.
My grandad and dad were railroad men and I had lots or romantic visions of jumping freight trains.
And unlike many peers Ely acted his dreams and preserved them in songs that have stood the test of time.
Ely shelved two other albums cut in the hiatus after 1998 disc Twistin' In The Wind but cut Live At Antone's and wrote a novel Bonfire of Roadmaps .
Just like the lyric from Carnival Bum - "they're taking apart the Ferris wheel like a game of solitaire."

My Favourite Things
Many raindrops in the world like people you just can't count. I like blue...very much. Eating is a habbit of mine, but I love to eat when I hear an airplane about to lift off. I listen to my tastebuds when I eat something nice, if coke were as sweet as people, I would drink it almost everyday. Most of all I like as the searing sun settles down . These are a few of my favourite things.

Ok, so I'm a little late in adding this post. It is Saturday morning, which means the HUNI Farmers Market is about to begin and I'm just now posting about last week's market. Such is life. I did venture over to the market last Saturday and saw a few new things. I first hit the tortilla booth. I hadn't bought any of their tortillas in past visits because they were always wrapped in plastic bags. This time, I told the woman that I'd love to buy some tortillas but that I didn't want to bring home any plastic. She was happy to oblige me and wrapped the tortillas loosely in foil before I placed them in my canvas bag. I couldn't wait to eat them. Unfortunately, when I got home, I realized that placed between each tortilla was a thin sheet of plastic. Yikes! I'll have to say those were some of the tastiest tortillas I've tried and I'll miss them this week.
I stopped by the Chipotle booth and happily accepted a two-for-one coupon. When they offered me a water bottle, I said, "No thanks, I'm trying not to accumulate any more plastic". Well, come to find out, those bottles are made of biodegradable plastic made from corn. There are upsides and downsides to bioplastic. The upside is that they are compostable (usually in commercial composting systems) and fewer toxic substances are released and less energy is used in their production as opposed to petroleum plastics. The downside is that it's difficult to distinguish them from regular plastics in the recycling mix and a small amount can contaminate the recycling of conventional plastics. I think bioplastics are a move in the right direction assuming the consumers are well-informed about these new products and how to dispose of them properly. On the same note, I have to share what I saw at the Naya booth. The display pots appeared to be plastic, but were actually made of biodegradable bamboo. Way to go Chipotle and Naya!
I made my way, once again, to the Heirloom Gardens booth. I bought eggplant along with a recipe suggestion for honey garlic grilled eggplant. It ended up being quite delicious. Heirloom Gardens was also displaying their new product, goat's milk soap.
Mari Vasel, owner of All Things Bean, was selling her adorable infant and toddler apparel. I liked her 100% cotton burp clothes, each one lined with an uber-absorbent cloth diaper. Next time you are looking for a fun unique baby gift, think local and shop All Things Bean.
One of my last stops was to the Dutch Valley Ranch booth. Billie and Mark Avery raise alpacas in Bennet, Colorado and sell alpaca fleece, yarn, garments, and more. You won't find synthetic fibers here. They were very friendly and said they are more than happy to have visitors stop by their ranch to learn more about what they do. I think I'll have to take the kids sometime.

The Girl Who Knew Too Much (1963) – Giallithon #1
So starts the Giallithon with the film that arguably started it all, Mario Bava's 1963 classic The Girl Who Knew Too Much (La Ragazza Che Sapeva Troppo). Obviously inspired by the pulp fiction yellow (giallo) covered books, even as far as the heroine reads them and is inspired in her investigations by them and other famous crime novels, this is the first film to take a story that could have been lifted from the pages of those books and transpose them onto the screen with lashings of Hitchcock style. In fact it seems that Bava was reluctant to direct this, but it doesn't show. They weren't sure what they wanted to achieve with the film. In fact the American release is a totally different beast to this Italian subtitled version under review. The American release was touted as a romantic black comedy called The Evil Eye, a parady of previously released Hitchcock films, and it featured more scenes of humour. These didn't really fit in with the overall tone of the film (a mystery with horror elements i.e. a proto-giallo), so the Italian release is much more streamlined and all the better for it. This was due to Bava being determined to make this into a serious film, and as a consequence he played down the comedy and boosted the horror. It was a stroke of genius. In this and his next proto-giallo, Blood And Black Lace (1964), he laid down the foundations for the entire Giallo genre.
Starring Leticia Roman and (a young) John Saxon, this was to be Bava's final film to be shot in black and white, and also was filmed mostly on location in and around Rome. Bava shoots everything using purely natural lighting, and with each and every shot he uses obtuse angles, and an ever encroaching darkness to bring a sense of dread and foreboding to the proceedings.
Roman stars as the lovely Nora Davis, a young naive American who flies into Rome to visit her Aunt Adele. At her Aunt's place, she encounters the suave and handsome Doctor Marcello Bassi (Saxon) who informs Nora that her Aunt is in failing health, and that he has been keeping an eye on her. That very night Nora sees her Aunt suffer a fatal heart attack. Freaked out by her deceased Aunt's body twitching (it's actually her cat trying to get up onto the bed), Nora flees from the house and out onto the big plaza outside. As she tries to make her way to the nearby hospital to fetch Dr. Bassi, she is mugged and knocked unconcious in the street. Nora comes around in a dizzy haze, and as she does, she witnesses a woman being stabbed in the back and dragged away… Did she really see a murder take place?
The rest that follows is a great mix of your giallo staples of red herrings, scenes of peril for our heroine, and bloody murders. Of course these were fresh then, and the elements that Bava brought to proceedings are evident in all the major players in the first wave of giallo and beyond. The black humour and creepy camera angles were no doubt a huge influence on Dario Argento and Umberto Lenzi in their films that followed this.
Saxon and Roman make great leads, and it's unfortunate that it was reported that Saxon and Bava really did not get on well at all (detailed by Tim Lucas in the included sleeve notes). A strong leading man was unfortunately not a giallo staple, as many of the films feature very dull lead actors indeed. It's a shame this wasn't something that continued on through the genre.
This DVD version was released by Image Entertainment in 2000, and has a good transfer in it's original 1.66:1 ratio presented anamorphically. It has parts where there is some evident print damage, and the contrast looks to be slightly too high in parts, but apart from a few ropey scenes… it all looks very good. It's in the original Italian language with optional English subtitles. You can also get the film as part of the Bava boxset released by Anchor Bay, or a good transfer from French label Film Sans Frontiers.
A great film and a very worthy start to the Giallithon. Essential Giallo.

But for the Red Sox, the news could have been a lot worse.
A lot worse.
Bogaerts injured his left ankle sliding into the visitors' dugout chasing an errant throw Sunday. Unable to get off the field on his own, he was helped to the clubhouse and the home fans feared the worst.
On Monday, the club placed Bogaerts, off to a hot start, on the 10-day disabled list and said the shortstop will be out with a small crack in the talus bone. No surgery is required.
Brock Holt replaced Bogaerts in the game and the Red Sox recalled infielder Tzu-We Lin from Triple-A in time for the three-game series with the struggling Yankees that starts Tuesday night.
The Red Sox (8-1) rallied to their eighth straight victory Sunday. The Yankees fell to 4-5 with a 12-inning loss to the Baltimore Orioles in the Bronx.
Aaron Boone became a permanent part of one of sports' great rivalries on Oct. 16, 2003, when he homered off Tim Wakefield and sent the Yankees to the World Series.
Now, the rookie manager rejoins the rivalry as the Yankees visit for three chilly night games.
"I hear about it all the time," Boone said Sunday. "I heard about it on the ride into the ballpark from our Uber driver, he had a story involved.
"In a lot of ways, it probably does define my career to fans or people that don't know me or whatever. And I'm looking forward to getting up to Boston. It's a special thing to be a part of.
"Getting a taste of that as a player, you realize how special it is, what a big deal it is, kind of what an honor it is to compete in those games."
As far as how people in Boston have treated him since he joined Bucky Dent as light-hitting infielders to KO the Red Sox, Boone said, "I've been treated really well there. I've kind of said since they've won as much as they have since '04, I feel like a lot of the ribbing I get up there is a little more good-natured. At least that's how it appears to me and the organization has treated me very well.
"I'm sure that now I'm back in uniform it won't be as good-natured and that's part of it."
The Yankees have more on their minds than the rivalry coming into this series. They're battered and bruised, Giancarlo Stanton has already struck out 20 times -- including two five-K games on a just-completed six-game homestand -- and the Red Sox are off to the best start in franchise history.
On Sunday, Boston scored six runs with two outs in the eighth inning to overcome the Tampa Bay Rays.
"It takes one at a time and that's our mindset," Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts said after the latest win. "We just kind of grinded through at-bats. (Alex Colome's) a tough pitcher, but he left some pitches up today and we were able to put some good swings on it."
Both rivals have lined up their pitching best in this series -- even though the Yankees hadn't named a starter to replace the disabled CC Sabathia in Thursday night's finale.
On Tuesday night, Luis Severino, off to a 2-0 start with a 1.38 ERA, faces Chris Sale, a hard-luck 0-0 with an 0.82 ERA. On Wednesday, it's Masahiro Tanaka (1-1, 2.92) for the visitors and David Price (1-0, 0.00 ERA) for the Red Sox. Rick Porcello (2-0, 2.84 ERA) goes for Boston on Thursday.
Severino is 2-4 with a 4.32 ERA against the Red Sox in his short career, but he was 2-1 against Boston in his breakout 2017. Sale was 0-3 with a 2.65 ERA in five starts against the Yankees in 2017 -- after going 4-1 against New York while with the Chicago White Sox.
Boston's Andrew Benintendi is 6-for-14 (.429) with two homers and seven RBIs against Benintendi, and Mitch Moreland is 4-for-12 (.333). But Sandy Leon is 1-for-10 (.100), Holt 1-for-7 (.143), Hanley Ramirez 4-for-19 with nine strikeouts (.211), Jackie Bradley Jr. 3-for-14 (.214) and Mookie Betts 4-for-17 (.235).
For the Yankees, injured Aaron Hicks, who was set for a rehab start Monday night and could rejoin the Yankees in Boston, is 8-for-23 (.348) against Sale, but he's the only current Yankees player with any success against the skinny left-hander -- this Yankees group hits a combined .183 with one homer in 126 at-bats against Sale.
Aaron Judge heads the futility list, coming in 0-for-12 with 10 strikeouts against Sale. Brett Gardner is 4-for-23 (.174) and Gary Sanchez 3-for-17 (.176) with seven strikeouts.
Sanchez, off to a dreadful start at the plate, missed the last two games with a sore calf, but he hopes to play Tuesday night.

CloudFlare's Automatic IPv6 Gateway Will More Than Double the Size of the IPv6 Web Before World IPv6 Day Next Week
CloudFlare's Automatic IPv6 Gateway Will More Than Double the Size of the IPv6 Web Before World IPv6 Day Next Week
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - May 29, 2012) - CloudFlare, the web performance and security company, is challenging every website online to join the modern web and support IPv6 before June 6, 2012, World IPv6 Day. In order to help meet this challenge, CloudFlare will enable IPv6 support for all its hundreds of thousands of customers ahead of the deadline via its Automatic IPv6 Gateway.
"We hear from businesses and governments every day that know they need to support IPv6 but lack resources to upgrade their existing infrastructure," explained Matthew Prince, CloudFlare's co-founder and CEO. "The CloudFlare Automatic IPv6 Gateway allows any site to support the modern IPv6 web without needing to change their proven, reliable infrastructure. It makes getting ready for World IPv6 Day a no-brainer for any site online."
CloudFlare offers its Automatic IPv6 Gateway for free to any websites. The Automatic IPv6 Gateway, like the rest of CloudFlare's services, is provisioned via a simple change to a website's DNS settings. Unlike other solutions, CloudFlare's Automatic IPv6 Gateway does not require any hardware, software, or other infrastructure changes.
More than 15,000 websites have already used CloudFlare's Automatic IPv6 Gateway to join the modern web. According to a study by HackerTarget, this makes CloudFlare the fourth largest provider of connectivity to the IPv6 web. Over the next week, the company will enable the Automatic IPv6 Gateway for all of its hundreds of thousands of websites, more than doubling the total size of the IPv6 web before the challenge's June 6 deadline.
"CloudFlare's mission is to help build a better web, and the web needs to move to IPv6 in order to continue to grow," said Prince. "That's why CloudFlare isn't just supporting IPv6, but providing an easy-to-implement gateway that allows any website to join the modern web at no cost and with only a few minutes of work."
CloudFlare today powers hundreds of thousands of websites ranging from individual blogs to Fortune 500 companies to national governments. Every month, CloudFlare sees more than 45 billion page views and makes the web faster, safer and better for more than 450 million people worldwide. Websites interested in stepping up to the CloudFlare Global IPv6 Challenge can learn more by visiting: www.cloudflare.com/ipv6-challenge.

Let's assume you're after what we're after: to work steadily as a professional talent, earning a decent living while scratching your aesthetic itch. It can be done, you know. People do it every day.
Voice over is a start-up business, just like any business. It requires attention to detail on a variety of fronts: in your performance, in the production and marketing of your demo, in your pursuit of representation, and so on.
The problem, however, is that far too many people will focus on details that are of no consequence to the overall goal of establishing and maintaining a career in this business. Our mission at SOUND ADVICE is to help you maneuver through the industry minefield with greater ease than ever before—even if it may be contrary to popular belief, or so-called "conventional wisdom".
If you are, or once were, established in this business, recent changes in technology may have left you in the dust. Voice over is a recorded media, so, frankly, technology is inevitable. Even if you've embraced technology fully, it's imperative you remain in step with the advancing technology in this field.
If you resist change, you're bound to become the effect of that which you resist, and the future of your career will be in jeopardy. Lucky for you, we cut through the weeds and simplify what you honestly need to know, and what you can avoid completely—regardless of your technical prowess!
To add to this, many of us have been taught as actors to rely solely on our wits and physical prowess onstage, and the result has been that we forfeit any real advancement of our careers by omitting the most basic computer and self-promotional skills. So what do you need to know to adapt to create your small business as a working talent?
This is in part why I wrote The SOUND ADVICE Encyclopedia of Voice-over & the Business of Being a Working Talent yet again!
The advances in the past year alone have never made it dramatically easier to record an effective audition you can be proud of from just about anywhere you happen to be, edit it and send it without any assistance. With some dutiful application you'll discover what you have to offer as a talent in order to realize your dreams as a working talent.
As H. G. Wells once said, "Adapt or perish."

Mariah Carey makes pizza with daughter in Italy
Singer Mariah Carey took time off from her "Sweet Sweet Fantasy" tour here to make a pizza with the help of her daughter Monroe Cannon.
Carey shared several photographs on Instagram, giving a peek into the pizza making process, reports aceshowbiz.com.
In the first image Carey posted, she rocked white lingerie with a matching outer which she teamed with a pair of white high heels.
Carey smiled at the camera as she put the pizza into the oven.
"Making #pizza #Italy," she captioned the photograph. She later posted some other images, including the ones featuring her daughter rolling the pizza dough. There's also a photograph of the We Belong Together singer hugging a friend in a room as they appeared to throw a pajama party.

Whenever I'm writing or doodling alone I think of that super-confident, sassy, vaguely skanky girl from my memories of Year 7 with whom I had the misfortune of once sharing a classroom. I think it was one rainy lunchtime where she was escaping the rain and I was escaping people, not really being fussed about chasing boys or cigarettes at the age of 11 like my peers. I was doodling faces in my form's diary planner thing that they handed out in an attempt to encourage the doing of homework and remember filling the outlines over and over to see what would happen faster, the pen running out of ink, or eroding the paper completely and leaving me with cut-out heads. Fun!
Upon spying this exciting filler activity of mine she gleefully cackled to her twinnish friend, "Oh look, she's drawing people to keep her company!" I probably tried to laugh along and show my appreciation of the great joke and mask my embarrassment, failing to realise what a see you next Tuesday she was being. There's still a part of me that always processes put-downs as mistakes of their makers; I have this naïve faith that people can't possibly be that mean. Can they?
I still sometimes hear her unkind 'observation' echoing in my memory, or sometimes shrieking over my shoulder whenever I sit down to draw something (or rather more frequently these days, write). Am I really only creating things to keep me company? Too escape the fate Roberta Sparrow described: "Every living creature on earth dies alone". Or rather didn't describe, she too being fictional.
If you want to get all analytical about it, maybe it represented an unconscious desire to mutilate. 4REAL. But I think honestly I just liked doodling. Still do, all over post-its at work when trapped on the phone, in the margins of notebooks when I get bored of writing about myself (it can happen).
Attempts at demoralisation were frequent at that school, on a much larger scale of course than the incident I have described above. I was lucky enough to be whisked from this school to one where intelligence and hard work were rewarded. Friendly competition between students also encouraged the breeding of A* results. An obvious side effect was me being rapidly delegated from teacher's pet/uber-swot and unfortunately there were no music, media, drama, or art classes in which I could doodle a tent to cut out and live in as a young friendless Tracey Emin. But I left with much better grades than I would've had if I stayed at that previous school.
Something needs to be done to make knowledge seem cool. Learning and creativity need to be celebrated, not made fun of. And I don't mean the creativity of how short school girls can wear their skirts these days or how many different colours they can put in their hair or layers of make-up they can slap on. Have I done showing my age yet? I think so.

– The Invisalign system for orthodontic treatment of adults was introduced in 1999 and since has been widely used internationally as well as in Denmark. However, the indications for the use of the system seem unclear. In the present article two patient cases with irregular anterior teeth were straightened.
– Two young adults with spacing or crowding positions of the teeth in the front region, respectively, and with normal molar occlusions were treated with the Invisalign system. 10 set of aligners were used for the first patients, whereas 23 sets were used for the patient with crowding. For the following refinement, four set of aligners were used in both cases. The posttreatment consisted of using aligners for the night and bonded wired retentions. In both cases correct positions of the anterior teeth were achieved.
– Irregular teeth with limited spacing or crowding positions in the front and normal occlusion can be moved to correct positions by use of the Invisalign system.

The noisy little pest nipping at my heels,
Is silenced with a deft move of my foot.
For a time there is silence yet no peace,
As where there is one there must be more.
This dream within a dream where I reside,
Will not manifest within their presence.
So when two appear to check on the ghost,
I simply order each to devour the other.
Pleasure drawn from power I have abused,
Reignites my senses as they work to obey.
Suddenly through a twist of fate it ends,
With one then two falling back to think.
Then with that slip the horde is upon me,
Angry and threatening to destroy it all.
I would scream if I were not now choking,
As they force themselves down my throat.
My eyes I refuse to open so I cannot see,
Those pawns uniting while divided I fall.

An Ashington charity's dream of starting a community cinema has come one step closer.
Ashington Community Development Trust and local community group the Friends of Central Arcade have been working on a project to bring the big screen back to e town after more than 20 years.
Trust manager Janet Cresswell said: "The Friends of the Central Arcade group has evolved out of some of the people we have talked to and are interested in seeing the old Co-op arcade brought back into use, and the fact that a cinema was one of the things people wanted to see happen has been at the forefront of bringing the arcade back to life."
Various pieces of equipment have already been sourced thanks to a grant from The Hadrian Trust and cash from Arriva, but a sound system is still required.
The Friends have been helping to fundraise and have organised an event at the White House Social Club on Friday, April 17, where the proceeds will go towards a sound system.

What's New
Agency backs federal gas tax increase
"Insolvency is a real threat in light of the fact that the fund is grappling with current and projected outlays of about $55 billion a year over the next two years."
– AMATS Director Curtis Baker
For the third time since 2010, the AMATS Policy Committee has approved a resolution urging an increase in the federal gas tax as a way to bolster the national Highway Trust Fund. The committee approved Resolution 2018-07 stating its support for a 15 cent increase in the gas tax indexed to inflation so that revenue generated for the fund can keep pace with rising costs.
The current tax of 18.4 cents per gallon generates about $35 billion for various road construction and other surface transportation projects across the nation. Another $5 billion raised from the tax supports public transportation. The tax hasn't been increased since 1993 while construction and other costs have increased unabated. The Highway Trust Fund is projected to become insolvent by 2021, unless a new source of funding is found.
"Insolvency is a real threat in light of the fact that the fund is grappling with current and projected outlays of about $55 billion a year over the next two years," AMATS Director Curtis Baker continues, "If something isn't done, we, as a nation, will have to reduce spending drastically or continue to borrow to maintain what we have."
Baker notes that, in its role as the Greater Akron area's metropolitan planning organization, AMATS received more than $90 million in federal funding requests from the region's communities during its latest round of project applications. "Of that amount, we awarded only about $33 million. For a long-term perspective, our region is expected to need about $4.4 billion just to maintain our current highway system through 2040. Clearly, we have a need for additional funds," Baker observes.
Resolution 2018-07 will be relayed to Ohio's Congressional delegation for consideration. Agency officials believe that the resolution is timely given the current infrastructure negotiations between Congress and the Trump administration. Baker notes that the resolution also urges state lawmakers in Columbus to consider raising additional revenue for roadway infrastructure.
"States, counties and local communities are gradually assuming more of the funding burden that was carried by the federal government. Locally, we see cities like Barberton and Ravenna approving tax increases to fund infrastructure improvements. Summit County will increase motor vehicle license fees next year to pay for bridge and road improvements. This trend may continue and accelerate if needs aren't met," Baker observes.

Are you often fatigued? Do you struggle to do things that your friends seem to not struggle with? Are you fighting with weight issues? The solution to these problems may be to include weight training as part of your exercise and fitness routine, so keep reading for valuable advice.
It is important to warm up your muscles with stretching exercises to avoid injuries. The process of increasing muscle mass subjects your muscles to increased stress, which increases the probability of injury. If you spend an adequate amount of time warming up, your risk of injury will decrease. Don't do any heavy lifting until after you've done some light exercising for five or ten minutes, followed by a few light to moderate sets to get warmed up.
Incorporating enough vegetables in your daily diet is a very important component of bodybuilding. While muscle development diets tend to focus on carbs and protein, you still need plenty of vegetables. Carbohydrates and proteins are found in vegetables as are many other vital nutrients. They are also good places to get fiber. Fiber can help the body use the protein more effectively.
Eating meat regularly can help build muscle. A good daily goal is to eat a gram of meat for each pound you weigh. Your body will store more protein this way, which will help you to gain more muscle mass.
Include the "big three" into your routine every time. These mass-building exercises include dead lifts, squats and bench presses. Not only do these exercises add bulk, but they condition your body and improve your strength. Include variations of them in your regular workout routines.
Remember the "big three," and include these exercises in your routine. Those are bench presses, dead lifts and squats. Along with adding muscle, these exercises help you improve your strength and condition your body. Vary these exercises regularly.
Cardio Workout
Make certain you eat plenty of protein if your goal is to build muscle. Protein is what builds strong muscles and what they are made from. If you fail to get enough protein, you will not gain muscle mass very quickly. You'll want to choose low-fat protein options for two of your main meals as well as one of your snacks each day.
If you are currently training to do a marathon, or doing any type of extreme cardio work, now is not a good time to try to build up your muscles. While a good cardio workout is key to staying fit, trying to build muscle while doing a lot of cardio is counterproductive. An intensive cardio workout essentially cancels out your attempts to build muscle. Put most of your efforts into strength-training if you wish to grow muscle.
Eating enough protein is a great way to build muscle. Protein supplements and protein shakes are excellent ways to boost your body's supply of this vital nutrient. These protein-rich products are best consumed after working out or before going to bed. Limiting yourself to one shake a day when losing weight is one of your overall fitness goals. However, if you want to gain weight as well as build muscle, you should consume as many as three protein shakes or supplements daily.
Keep your diet clean and varied on the days you choose to work out. Consume a few extra calories about 60 minutes before you begin your workout. That doesn't mean you can overeat when you are scheduled for a workout, but just be sure to eat a bit more on those days and less on the days you aren't going to be weight training.
Make yourself appear larger than you are through the power of illusion. When you spend the most effort building your chest, back and shoulders you can add mass and look larger in a faster time. This makes your upper body look bigger in proportion to your waist, which gives the illusion that you have a larger body.
Do not exceed 60 minutes, when working out. The body begins to produce more cortisol, a stress hormone, after sixty minutes of working out. Cortisol will block the production of testosterone and will make your efforts wasted and not build muscle. An excellent method of ensuring you maximize your workouts is to keep workouts at less than an hour long.
Muscle building isn't always an attempt to become overly bulky. There are a variety of muscle routines targeted at different goals, so it's helpful to determine what exactly you want to achieve. Consider adding supplements to your diet if you are seeking to have extremely large muscles.
Eat lots of protein when you are trying to gain muscle. Protein is essential for building muscle, and if you don't get enough of it, it can actually make you lose muscle. You may require daily protein in the amount of one gram for each pound you weigh.
Don't exercise more than three or four times per week. Taking days off is important, as this gives your body time to recuperate. If you overwork your body you have a greater chance of getting an injury and then needing to take time off to let it heal.
If you are planning to increase your protein consumption because you want to lift weights, do so cautiously. Unless there is enough exercise to burn off this increased caloric intake, the likely result is going to be fat production and the wrong sort of weight gain. Up your protein intake over time, 100-200 calories every three to four days, to ensure your body can keep up.
It is necessary to monitor your calories, if you want to build muscle. It's not enough to count calories; you need to know what kind of calories are healthy and understand what foods you should eat to optimize your muscle building efforts. If you don't eat correctly, you'll gain fat instead of muscle.
It can be beneficial to train opposite muscles during the same workout. Examples are the muscles in your back and the muscles in your stomach, or the quads and the hamstrings. The muscle you were previously working will be allowed to rest while you are working the other muscle. As a result, you can increase your workout intensity because you are limiting the amount of time that you have to spend in a gym.
While becoming huge and muscly isn't for everyone, building muscle tone and strength has many benefits everyone could enjoy. It can give you a higher level of self-esteem, more strength, improve your joints, and even strengthen your lungs when combined with a light to medium cardio workout.
Hydration is a vital component in muscle building. In order to prevent injury to yourself, it is important to stay properly hydrated. In addition, your muscle mass depends on adequate hydration. You won't be successful in building muscle if you are constantly feeling dehydrated.
Your diet should include whole foods such as grains and produce, if you wish to build muscle mass. Avoid processed and packaged foodstuffs, as you can expect additives, chemicals, fillers and preservatives that harm your immunity and engender disease. Your muscle workouts will be more effective when your immune system is strengthened by healthy nutritious food.
Make sure that you are eating enough calories in general. There are various online calculators that may help you find your needs for how much muscle you want to gain. Use one or two of the calculators; then change your diet accordingly, including the proper amounts of carbs, proteins and other vitamins to build your muscles.
When you're building muscle, you have to be constantly conscience of what your eating. Drink plenty of water because your body will lose a lot of fluids when you are exercising vigorously. In addition, your muscles are made up of 70% water. Also, limit your alcohol intake, as too much can break down your muscle tissue.
You can cheat a little as you lift. Slightly using your body for pumping out a few final reps is a great way to increase your workout volume. Don't cheat all the time or overdo cheating. Make sure that you keep your rep speed controlled. You should be careful to never compromise your form.
Remember that nobody is going to give you a prize for finishing your workout quickly. Resist the urge to rush through exercise sets and blast through your reps as fast as you can. If you remain cautious and focused as you perform each repetition of your exercise program, then the results will come at a faster rate. Keep in mind that you might even need to reduce the weight that you are lifting for some exercises, in order to improve results. Strive to take your time, and focus your energy on making each rep last for about 20 seconds. This is the best way to make sure that your exercise plan is an effective one.
Muscle Groups
If you want to make sure you are eating enough protein during your day, you need to try to eat approximately 30 grams of high-quality protein for each meal that you consume throughout the day. This number can vary based on your protein needs. Spreading protein out will help you in achieving your protein needs. As an example, if your protein intake should be 180 grams each day, and you eat six meals, you will want to have 30 grams of protein at each meal to total the 180.
Some muscle groups are harder to bulk up than others. Use fill sets to target your problem muscle groups. This is a set that has about 25 reps a few days after the last workout.
Before starting your workout routine, you must eat well. Just before your muscle building workout, provide your body with around 20 grams of a whey protein that is high quality. This will speed up muscle recovery and lower your chances of burning muscle to fuel your workouts.
A great idea when trying to build muscle mass is to eat protein rich foods before and after your exercise routine. An ideal amount of protein is 15 grams 30 minutes before your workout, then the same amount after your workout. This is the amount of protein contained in a couple glasses of milk.
Warming up is the most important part of your exercise routine. Ten to fifteen minutes of warm-up activities can boost circulation and prepare your muscles for more intense forms of exercise. Doing this will also prevent muscle injuries that could take awhile to heal.
Pre-exhaust weak muscle groups to ensure that you hit all the areas you want to target. It is common for one frequently used muscle group to get exhausted before you work through all your exercises. You can solve that issue by doing a type of isolation exercise that does not require use of the biceps as much. If your lats are pre-exhausted, your biceps won't be limiting you when you go to do your rows.
Your training regimen should be focused on attaining your personal goals. Repetitiveness may seem mundane, but repetition is important when you first start out so that you can track muscle development easier. You can use another exercise if you get extremely bored or add an exercise if you want to add to your routine.
Be careful of which methods you use, as some of them can be ineffective. You can risk injuring yourself seriously if you have too much weight on your joints in neck work, dips and split squats. Heavy loads are best saved for larger muscle groups, such as those involved in completing presses, rows, and squats.
Get a good protein powder to add to energy shakes. Because your protein requirements during the mass-building process are so high, you may find it easier to consume your protein in the form of shakes or smoothies, rather than eating too much meat or dozens of eggs.
You must think smart when you are going to do squats. The bar should rest across your back near the center of your trapezoidal muscles. This will put a lot higher demand on your hamstrings, hips and glutes, which allows you to lift more.
Track your body fat percentage as you build muscle. The number of your weight itself is not that important, because of the weight of muscle. Sometimes you start to feel sad about your weight, but it could be the difference in your muscle weight.
Your entire life will change when you build muscle. Not only does it control your weight, but it gives you energy and allows you successfully complete tasks. Improving your life is much easier than you thought, so use the tips and techniques that were in this article, and begin your muscle development routine today!
Never skipping breakfast is important for everyone, but it is especially vital for those attempting to increase muscle mass. A high-protein breakfast with the right balance of fat and carbohydrates is the ideal way to start your day. Breakfast will put your body into the right set so you can get the most from your daily workouts.

Archbishop to lead Mary MacKillop Eden pilgrimage
Cathollc Archbishop Christopher Prowse will lead a pilgrimage commemorating Australia's first saint Mary MacKillop to Eden this Saturday, August 11.
Australia's patron saint Mary MacKillop had strong ties to the area and visited Eden in 1899 and 1901. Mary's mother, Flora, was one of 76 people on the steamer Ly-ee-Moon who drowned on May 30, 1886. Her body was taken to Eden.
Speaking with the Magnet after last year's successful pilgrimage, Archbishop Prowse said St Mary "never forgot the generosity and love and reverence of the people of Eden to her mother".
St Mary was appreciative of the care and love shown to her mother and decided to send Sisters to establish a school in Eden.
Pambula Parish Pastoral Council's Bernadette Wood said St Mary has played a significant role in establishing catholic education in the region and the pilgrimage is an opportunity to give thanks and to honour the patron saint.
The parish hopes that pilgrims will come from various towns and parishes across the region and beyond. Archbishop Prowse will lead pilgrims by private vehicle from St Christopher's Cathedral, Canberra, at 8am.
At 11am pilgrims are invited to walk from Eden Aussie rules ground to Our Lady Star of the Sea Church.
Participants are encouraged (where possible) to park a short distance from the church near the sports ground in Barclay St.
The walk will conclude with the blessing of a new bronze statue of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, by Archbishop Prowse.
A con-celebrated Mass will take place at noon followed by lunch and refreshments at 1pm. Sr Benedetta Bennett will deliver a talk outlining a brief history of St Mary and her strong connections to Eden.
Visitors are encouraged to visit the Mary MacKillop Hall, where there is a wonderful collection of memorabilia.
For catering purposes and dietary requirements, RSVP Sue Heffernan 0405 251 947 or Bernadette Wood 0429 774 119.

There comes a time when one must ask themselves, "What am I worth?"
Worth is a funny thing. It boils down to so many other emotions . . . fear, love, shame, self-esteem, guilt, pride. But the core value of how you live your entire life comes to one inescapable conclusion . . . do you think you are worthy?
And because of all of this, I have come to my own inescapable truth . . . somewhere in the bottom of my soul, something has been causing me to live as though I am not. Something completely out of my control that someone sold me through guilt and shame and I bought it.
I'm thinking about seeing someone about all of this. I think what's been holding me back is a) fear and b) I need a bullshit-proof shrink. I need a therapist that other therapists see . . . someone who can sniff out the bullshit. The problem with what I feel, or fear rather, is that none of it is logical. Logically, I'm awesome. And I deserve love and goodness and success, just the same as everyone else. But whether this is logical or not, I have not been treating myself in a way that reflects this belief. I'm an emotional eater who keeps people at a distance in an effort to remain protected. This is not logical. But it's there. And it obviously isn't going away. And at this rate, I do not have the time to dilly-dally with it.
So, on my almost 26th birthday, I'm making a commitment to treat myself well. And though scary, this is my first step . . .

Good Reasons for Painting Your Home Exteriors
When paining your house, you will find it more difficult to paint your home exteriors than your home interiors. Exterior home painting is more difficult since you need to make sure that the quality of the paints that you will use will be able to withstand the natural forces like heavy rain, snowfall, strong winds, and the hot sun. With these types of weather conditions, it is very easy for your exterior walls to lose their shine and fade within a few years of exposure to harsh elements. If you are planning to have your home exterior painted, then you should look for a paint which is durable on the exterior walls of your home. It is worth spending more for exterior wall paints for your house. This is because your exterior walls will need extra care and protection from the elements, pollution, heat, and cold.
When you have visitors or when people pass by your home, it is the exterior of your home that is noticed first by these people. You exterior walls then should be given more importance as they are the ones that will welcome your visitors into your home. If you have poor exterior house painting, then the impression that people will have on your home or your home visitors will be a negative impression. And this is why the choice of exterior paints is very important when you are considering a home painting project. If you buy cheap paint so that you can save money, then be sure that it will not take long before your paints fade. Soon, you will see wear and tear all over your walls, and you will need to spend again for repainting. So you don't save money on cheap paints because you will keep on repainting your exterior walls.
It is better to leave the task of painting your exterior walls to professionals. With a professional exterior painter, you are assured that they know what to do in order for your exterior walls to be able to withstand the harsh weather conditions. You are assured of the fact that professional exterior painters have knowledge, training, and experiencing in making your exterior walls look attractive and new and they know the best ways of painting it. With professional exterior painters you can be sure that your exterior wall paints will last long.
Another thing that is important to consider is the outdoor temperature, whether you are doing it yourself or letting a professional do it for you. You don't want your paints to fade in a short time, so if your professional exterior house painter will consider the general temperature of your area, then he will be able to choose the right kinds of paint that will not last and not fade away no matter how harsh the weather conditions are.

Budget Celebration in Brooklyn
Kaitlyn Sterrantino & Robin Smith
East River State Park and Greenpoint Coffeehouse
Cctober 25, 2008
When it came to setting a date, the third time proved the charm for Kait and Robin. We set October 28, 2007, at the Bronx Botanical Gardens. But we rescheduled. We were moving, recalls Kait. The secondAugust 8 at the Londonwas postponed because I was disheartened by the cost and overwhelmed by the planning. But they didn't give up. Balls to the wall,' I said, we're doing this.' We set October 25, and I gave myself two-and-a-half months to plan it. A $10,000 budget turned them into creative, savvy shoppers: One morning we were having brunch at the coffeehouse and we said, We can do it here!' They gave us the whole place on a Saturday night for $1,500, says Kait. Adds Robin: We also learned that uttering the word wedding adds a couple of zeros to any price. So we didn't mention it. The two finally married on a wet and windy day. Sunshine would have been great. But this was offbeat, tumultuousthis was more like us.
