By Ricky Fritzsching This week, we'll be paying some editorial attention to drum corps events that have happened in the Eastern U.S. For some reason, the Eastern Classic is always a technological challenge for DCI.org, as this report proves (and this story gives you a sneak peek at how an event unfolds for the DCI.org CAT-5 crew). Tomorrow we'll look at how the 2002 Eastern Classic at Franklin Field in Philadelphia went down. As many of you know J. Birney Crum Stadium in Allentown, Pa., is known for great drum corps, an awesome setting, and most importantly, great fans, but what many of you don't know is that J. Birney Crum is an absolute technical challenge when it comes to live event coverage in the summer. This is our experience from 2003.
When I sat down with Dan Acheson (DCI executive director) and Dave Wilson (DCI's Web content manager) at the beginning of the summer, we talked about our stadium challenges. Immediately, J. Birney Crum was discussed. Since DCI.org had never produced a live event at J. Birney Crum (the Eastern Classic was held in Philadelphia in 2002 while J.Birney Crum was being renovated), I didn't know what to expect. We knew that the press box was not wired with 10/100 ethernet jacks ready for us to burn up the bandwidth -- those are the technological demands we usually hope for when we invade a stadium. Instead, the press box only had phone lines, and that just won't do the job for producing the robust multimedia that you've come to expect from our live event coverage. Per event, we have so many images, videos, and, most importantly, an abundance of data that needs to be transferred to DCI.org quickly. Phone lines are just unacceptable. Legacy movie I arrived on site early Friday morning and I was just floored on how great the stadium looked. What a magnificent arena for drum corps! But the hunt for DCI.org command central was just beginning. I met the maintenance crew for the stadium and they told me that they had a DSL connection in the maintenance shed. If you have ever been to J. Birney Crum and have been to the DCI marketplace, then you might have seen the maintenance shed. It is at least 200 yards away from the end zone. And most importantly, the hill that you walk up and down to get to field level is a will work on your calf muscles. I said to the maintenance worker, "You have to be kidding me! You have a high-speed connection in your maintenance shed, but not in the press box. Wow ... if only Bill Murray was here." I walked into the shed and quickly noticed the aroma of all the two-cycle engine products plus the smell of fresh cut grass. It just made me smile, because I knew that I was going to embark on a two-night experience that was going to resemble the legacy movie "Caddyshack." The DSL setup was a breeze. I then decided to go and find the rest of the DCI.org CAT-5 crew on the other side of the stadium. As I started making my way down the grass of the big hill I saw something move in front of me. There he was -- the intruder: A huge gopher looking at me square in the eyes. I just froze and started laughing. I couldn't believe it -- a maintenance shed and a gopher, and we are still five hours from downbeat. What next, a surprise appearance by Bill Murray? Unfortunately the gopher never showed up again for the duration of the event, but it was funny while it lasted. Legacy technology Picture this. You're 200 yards away from the end zone, atop a huge Allentown hill, and the rest of your crew (and in Allentown last year this crew included content manager Wilson, DCI.org columnist Mike Boo and megafabulous intern Francois Morin) is camped out on the other side of the stadium in the opposite end zone (the corps entrance gate). That's where all the editorial content will be generated, where the interviews will take place and where the photos will be snapped, and they have no Internet connection anywhere near them. I asked myself, "How are we going to do this?" You're probably thinking, "Wireless." So were we. But unfortunately, getting a direct signal from the shed to the opposite end zone was impossible. I didn't even go try. I thought of one thing that could make this work -- floppy disks and tennis shoes. Before I called Dave on the radio with my plan, I had to make sure that my computer had a floppy disk drive. Come on, when was the last time you used one? Luckily enough it did. I made the call and asked him if he had brought his tennis shoes. He confirmed. Then I asked if he had a floppy drive on his computer and he quickly said, "You're kidding, right?" Then there was radio silence. Five minutes later he came back on the radio and said, "How are we going to do this?" After a long discussion and a quick trip to Best Buy, we had a game plan. He was going to radio me when he had disk full of information, and then we would meet on turn three of the track on the back sideline. It was just like a relay, he would hand me the disk and I would turn around and run back up the hill to command control and post the data on DCI.org. If you attend Allentown this summer, make sure you look for us as we meet on the back side line of the track. Yes, we might change some things to make it easier on us, but we feel Allentown is a "legacy" event and the DCI.org crew just wants to fit in!

心霊探偵八雲 ~赤い瞳は知っている~
Company: Frontier works
Based on: Novel
Released: 2009.11.26
Shinrei Tantei Yakumo (Psychic Detective Yakumo) is a novel series by Kaminaga Manabu about Saitou Yakumo, a university student who can see ghosts. The series has manga, anime, and live action adaptions, but sadly only 2 drama CDs. Akai Me ha Shitteiru ("de red eye knows") is the first novel, and this is a drama CD is an adaption of that novel. The two stories on this drama CD are "Akezu no Ma"(The closed room) and "Toneru no yami" (The darkness of the tunnel), although I am not entirely sure whether the second story was orriginally published in the first novel as well.
The story begins with Ozawa Haruka (CV: Hirano Aya) searching for Yakumo because she needs his help. Her friend Miki recently collapsed and Haruka thinks this is because Miki is possessed by something. She heard that Yakumo is supposed to be knowledgeable about ghosts and things, so she comes asking for his help. Yakumo explains that he can only see ghosts and can't exorcise them, but that he will try to help her in exchange for money. She doesn't believe that Yakumo can see ghosts at first, but when he tells her about the ghost of her dead twin sister she starts to believe it (after completely freaking out first).
They visit Miki at the hospital, and Yakumo comes to the conclusion that she is indeed possessed by a ghost. She is possessed by the ghost of a girl about their age, who seems to be really scared of being trapped somewhere. They decide to go to the place where Miki claimed to have seen something just before collapsing. There they are confronted by the killer, who became spooked because the police is investigating the area. With the help of the ghost of Haruka her sister they manage to evade his attacks and trap him, after which they call the police.
Haruka meets the police officer Gotou Kazutoshi (CV: Touichi Hiroki), who seems to be familiar with Yakumo. She also discovers that Yakumo his left eye is red, as the colour contact that he uses to hide it fell out during the fight with the killer. To Yakumo his surprise she says that it is beautiful; up to now he only met people who were scared of it or found it creepy. It is later revealed that his mother even tried to kill him because of it, and Gotou was the one who saved him at the time.
In the second story Haruka gets a ride home from a friend, who wants to show her the night view from a spot he knows instead of driving her straight home. On their way there they drive to a tunnel, and he suddenly hits the breaks claiming that there were kids on the road. Haruka steps out of the car to check whether they hit someone, but there s nothing there. The next morning however there is are red marks in the shape of a small hand on the bumper of the car that won't come off no matter what. Because of this Haruka decides to ask Yakumo for help again.
The animosity between Yakumo and Haruka her co-worker is brilliant. Yakumo says he doesn't care whether Haruka is dating anyone or not, although it is kind of obvious that Haruka is special to him because she was the first one to say that she liked the colour of his red eye. He warns the guy that he should properly perform a mizuko kuyo ritual. At first he pretends not to know what Yakumo is talking about, but it turns out several of the girls he was dating got pregnant and had to have an abortion. After ths he just storms out.
Eventually Yakumo does agree to go and check what is going on with the tunnel though, so he and Haruka borrow a car from Yakumo his uncle Isshin (CV: Narita Ken) and drive to the tunnel. It turns out that many many spirits of people who have died there are gathered in the tunnel, all waiting to cause the next accident and add another soul to the group. Yakumo says he can't to anything about this, and simply warns Haruka to never drive through here again.
When he meets her co-worker several days after that, there is a spirit of a small boy sitting on his car, which puzzles Yakumo. A little later Gotou visits Yakumo with a picture of the heavily maimed body of a small child that died in a traffic accident, hoping that Yakumo can identify him. Yakumo immediately concludes that the spirit sitting on the car is that same boy. Unfortunately, Haruka got tricked into going for another drive with her co-worker at the same moment, and the spirit is leading the car to the same tunnel from before. As soon as Yakumo and Gotou learn this, they rush of to save her.
That was a rather detailed summary... sorry about that. But the actual solutions are still unspoiled, and a detective story isn't complete without the solution so you can all still go and listen to it, haha. (^-^;;).
I admit that the cover was what got me interested in this CD. And I felt like listening to a scary story so that was perfect timing. In terms of scariness, I've heard scarier but this CD does a good job at slowly scaring you. There are no sudden scare moments, but more a slowly building feeling of uneasiness (although I have to admit that I hate that tunnel, especially because the story ends without anything being done about it).
I love Yakumo his personality. He is rather blunt and sarcastic, but does have a kind heart and in the end is always willing to help others. When he was younger he didn't realize that he was the only one that could see spirits, and untill he realized this he was always seen as weird or creepy. To make things worse people were also freaked out by his red eye, so he eventually grew up to be rather antisocial. After meeting Haruka he starts to change a bit, although this CD doesn't really show this.
Haruka is rather naive but very honest (to a fault really), which makes her almost the opposite of Yakumo. I like the two of them together. I'll have to admit that Hirano-san her voice sounded slightly boyish, so I spend a good portion of the first story wondering whether she is a girl or a really femine guy (the name Haruka can be used for both guys and girls) until it was finally confirmed somewhere in the story (^-^;;).
The free talk was a lot of fun. Hirano-san messed up the introduction, and Ono-san his save is really cool. Somehow the two of them seem really used to each other and their conversation is a lot of fun. I also love the theme music (the song that plays at the beginning of this track) it reminds me of a matsuri or something.
This story is not too scary, but just scary enough. I love sarcastic characters so Yakumo was a perfect lead character for me. It is too bad that there aren't many drama CDs for this series though, although I suppose that I could always watch the anime or live action to see more. I honestly have no idea when I started liking horror stories though, considering that I used to too scared to real/listen/watch them (still am, actually).

Managing Multiple Main Lessons
It takes organization, dedication and some flexibility to homeschool multiple children. The simple fact is that you are not going to be able to follow each syllabus thoroughly with each child. As a parent of five children who were all homeschooled, I can personally vouch for that! It is possible, however, to develop a good flow of main lesson presentations for your children, including creating a main lesson that can be taught to multiple age groups. Although you may feel as if you are making compromises in the teaching of a particular main lesson, the learning environment in larger families is also a rich and rewarding one. Each family will learn to develop their unique strengths and approaches to managing multiple main lessons.
I did mention above that it does takes organization, dedication, and flexibility to do multiple main lessons. Here are a few tips to organization that are simple but effective:
1. In the spring of the preceding year, take an initial look at the main lessons you will be doing for the coming academic year. I generally wrote them all down first in the suggested order from the Christopherus syllabus with the number of weeks. Next, take a side by side look ( or a worksheet if you have more than three children in academics!) at the main lessons and see how they fit together. My recommendation is that general main lesson themes should be done at the same time for everyone- for example, all the children are working on math main lessons at the same time. It keeps everyone focused on the same topic and breathing rhythm, and I found that older children can sometimes help the younger ones in a main lesson or enjoy a review of the topic. This means, of course, that you will have to be flexible and do some tweaking of the schedules as laid out in the syllabi.
2. Next, look at all your seasonal festivals, family vacations and birthdays. Work to schedule appropriate main lessons around these commitments. If you are traveling on a vacation, it is an excellent opportunity for children to journal, and learn some geography and culture in an enjoyable and relaxed way. Also consider field trips that you know you will want to do to enhance a particular main lesson. For example, if you want to visit a cave for 6th grade Geology, then it needs to be done in warmer weather.
3. Make sure that your main lessons breathe- topics like history are more expansive and math is more focused. Try to keep your lessons rhythmic and balanced for the whole family.
4. Recognize that some main lessons will simply have to be combined, shortened or done in a different way in order to have a harmonious school year. Look at those lessons that could be taught to multiple age groups, or taught in a different or perhaps shorter format. These lessons will take the most time for you to work out . It will be important to develop your plans for these over the summer preceding the beginning of your fall start of homeschooling so you feel prepared to deal with these combined main lessons. I will give you an outline below of a possible combination main lesson for teaching a weather main lesson.
5. Make sure that you have all your supplies, materials, books, etc. well before the start of your academic year. Children (especially as they get older), need to see that you are organized enough to present your main lesson smoothly and can get your hands on your materials when you need them.
6. If you have toddlers and more than one child in academic work, the situation can get challenging Those were the toughest years for me- I had a Kindy child, an almost three year old, twins in 6th grade and my oldest just starting high school work. Being well organized was essential ! Also, consider getting some extra help with your youngest children. I had a mother's helper come in to play with the girls when I had to do harder academic work with the boys. I also had one son help babysit while I worked with another. There will be creative solutions to any of these challenges, but you need to think about them in advance.
Some main lessons do lend themselves to teaching at various age levels. Science and Geography lessons can be good ones for combining lessons. Third grade is the main lesson focus here, but a weather unit is often taught in middle school years as well. Below is a suggested outline for a Waldorf Inspired Multi Age Weather unit for 3rd, 6th and 8th grade. I did a similar combined main lesson with my own third and sixth grade girls. We did weather observations daily and recorded them, but we did main lesson weeks seasonally. This outline presents a weather main lesson in a week long seasonal format throughout the academic year.
Waldorf Inspired Multi Age Weather Unit—3rd, 6th and 8th grade
RESOURCES: Christopherus 3rd, grade syllabus; Weather Wisdom by Albert Lee ( for weather lore); Evening Gray and Morning Red by Barbara Wolf (reading book for third grade); Exploring the Sky by Day ( and Night) by Terrence Dickson ( for moon phases and information for older students); Tales of the Shimmering Sky by Susan Milord ( stories and weather activities for 3rd and 6th grader; The Kids' Book of Weather Forecasting by Mark Breen and Kathleen Friestad (3rd grade activities); The Ben Franklin Book of Easy and Incredible Experiments , a Franklin Institute Science Museum book,(for 6th and 8th graders); Discover! WEATHER (grades 4-6), a Milliken booklet (MP3411); The Weather Book by Eric Sloan ( for 8th grade, especially for warm and cold fronts and anatomy of air); Introduction to Weather and Climate Change, an Usborne book for 8th grader, especially for fronts and storms. The 8th grader generally can focus in more depth on issues of climate, climate change and biomes.
CORE CONCEPTS: The children will each have two main lesson type books. The first book is a journal or log where daily data is recorded and then summarized and tabulated each month (and season). In the log, each month had a one page self created calendar in the journal with symbols drawn for sun, rain, clouds ; the Beaufort Scale reading for the day (BS 2 for example), the wind direction, rain gauge (or snow) reading, temperature and eventually barometric pressure and wind chill. There were brief written entries on specific days of their main lesson weather week as well. At the bottom on the calendar, the monthly information was summarized (total rain, high and low temps etc.). We had a early evening ritual of "reading" the cloud and sky patterns to try and predict the next day's weather. Older children can do averages as well as seasonal graphs showing various indices. The second book is more like a traditional MLB. The idea here is to take different themes that were explored each weather week. There is a fall, winter and spring weather week.
FALL UNIT: (mid to late fall) ( two weeks)
First week: SET UP WEATHER STATION AND BEGIN OBSERVATIONS (we actually did this late summer in August)
All children help create the rain gauge, outdoor thermometer, snow stick and create the poster size Beaufort scale for reference. Older two can create the barometer as well and help make a wind vane showing wind direction if you don't have one.
Second week: MAIN LESSON BOOK THEME
We created a main lesson book on what we studied. With my 3rd and 6th grader, I covered Cycle of Seasons, Air Pressure and Wind, Cloud patterns, and lots of weather lore. I made sure the third grader understood the 4 cardinal directions, reinforced by creating our wind vane. My third grader's first book section was called CLOUDS and in it she had a seasonal painting, drawings of basic cloud types, and some weather lore. She also did a simple drawing of a land and a sea breeze with an explanation. Her second section was SEASONS where she wrote a bit about the changing seasons, the equinox and the solstice. The final section was called AIR PRESSURE/WIND where she drew the barometer they made and simply described air pressure and wrote a paragraphs on wind.
The older children can do detailed diagrams of the earth moving around the sun with its tilt at various seasons. They could do an experiment plus drawing explaining the Coriolis effect. There are fun experiments for air pressure that everyone can enjoy, including balloon demonstrations and the ever popular upside down glass of water covered by an index card. The 8th grader can do a drawing of some of the earth's major wind belts and more detailed explanations of the meteorology behind cloud combinations at the high, middle and low ranges. 8th grader could also look at the historical development of the barometer and maybe Goethe's ideas about barometric pressure as a foundation for understanding weather. Another suggestion is to look at cooling and warming trends in the earth's atmosphere that leads to phenomena like fronts and thermals. Another suggestion would be to look at how weather and air pollution affect future weather patterns. The KIDS book had a chart on page 46 that showed how to combine wind direction with barometer readings to help predict weather. They can also study wind chill and use a wind chill chart combined with the Beaufort scale estimation of wind speed to record the wind chill factor on colder days.
We presented our weather information to dad at the end of each Main Lesson unit. We also had fun quizzing dad on weather lore sayings. He really couldn't figure out "If ice in November will bear a duck, nothing comes after but sleet and muck"!
SECOND WEATHER WEEK: WINTER (February)
In the Christopherus syllabus, clouds are done in the winter unit. I chose to do it in fall since there are more cloud formations to observe and I wanted clouds to be part of their daily log. Also, the wind unit could be done during this winter unit since there is lots of windy weather. I did the phases of the moon in the winter unit but it could be done earlier as well.
In this unit we focused on detailed observation of moon phases and general information on the moon, stories about the moon (from TALES), and weather lore (reliable and not so reliable) about the moon and sun. Then we looked at snow.(and a bit on hail) For example, you could discuss the Inuits and the techniques of building snow houses and then go out and try your hand at building the igloo. Really observe the varieties of snow in your weather observations. The basic snowflake shapes can be studied and everyone can observe them through the magnifying glass and then draw some. You can do the snow to rain experiment. Older children can graph winter data.
This is also a good time to do several Nature Moods paintings from Painting with Children by Brunhild Muller (Waldorf). You can also do color blending exercises (primary, secondary and then tertiary colors) from Painting in Waldorf Education by Dick Bruin and Attie Lichthard (see third and sixth grade sections and also exercise 7a). We ended up with painting the full moon after observation efforts at nights. Also, children can commit some weather verses to heart and recite to parent and record some weather verses in main lesson book.
Older children can do vocabulary definitions and spelling quiz on basic weather and meteorology terms. They can do a careful write up of additional experiments.. They could also look more carefully at explanations of winter storm weather and conditions that cause a blizzard. The 8th grade could do a short paper on the El Nino/La Nina effects. This could also be a time for the 8th grader to explore global warming of polar regions and do biome work. This is a good time to graph winter data showing rain/snow records, and high and low temps, including wind chill.
THIRD WEATHER WEEK: SPRING (April)
For our spring unit we focused on animal signs, signs of life, sky colors and wild weather.
The week can begin by looking at animal signs that indicate an approaching storm. We looked at animal behavior and weather sayings that indicate how animals anticipate at storm. We looked at wild and domestic animals, frogs, birds and insects.
Next we studied sky colors and rainbows and how they foretell the weather. Older children can explain this with a drawing and short essay ( show a person with sun at her back, rainbow in front of person and rain behind) Each child takes daily observations and write down the colors of sunrises and sunsets for the week and uses them to predict daily weather. In our family we were about 60% correct. Older child can show % of correct guesses.
Then we looked at fronts. This is mostly the work of the two older children. Older children can draw illustrations of a cold front, warm front and a stationary front. Next they can all look at how to understand the symbols on a weather map.
Finally we looked at storms and specifically thunderstorms. The youngest could create a "storm is building" mobile showing first a white cloud filing with water vapor. The second cloud is darker gray showing the cooling water vapor turning to liquid water or rain. The third cloud is very gray and shows some yellow lightning. The last cloud could be a black cumulonimbus cloud with the words crash on the cloud in silver glitter to show the thunder! The sixth/eighth grader and grader could explain the process of how thunderstorms develop in a picture and an essay. The younger child can create a lightning safety poster with some safety rules.
More poetry or a good weather song can be presented to dad as part of the finale to this unit. I remember my youngest recited Rainbow by Walter de La Mare and the 6th grader recited Narcissus.
Enjoy this unit. It was one of my favorites and I still find myself gazing at cloud patterns to predict the weather!

With the recent Midwestern snowfall, an especially enthusiastic group of over 30 skiers braved freezing temperatures and biting wind at the most recent Get Your Nordic On! clinic in Wausau, Wisconsin. The clinic was run in conjunction with the Wisconsin State High School Ski League fall meeting, allowing the coaches to participate in an interactive technique session. Thanks to the publicity of the SkiPost.com emailing, Nordicskiracer.com and Skinnyski.com, many local skiers seized the opportunity to join the free clinic.
Bryan Fish, CXC Team head coach, led the drills. Skiers then broke off into groups, led by Fish and CXC Team athletes Bryan Cook and Garrott Kuzzy. By the end of the afternoon, everyone had some new moves to try or fresh technique pointers to work on.
Several coaches commented afterwards on how great it is to receive the most up-to-date information on training and technique from a knowledgeable source in a sport that is so rapidly evolving. Thanks to area coaches for arranging the clinic and to DC Everest HS for hosting the event.

"I took a look at Baynes in the shower." Wait, WHAT?
Being a member of the media grants you the kind of access regular fans can only dream of. For example, iconic Celtics announcer Tommy Heinsohn used his unparalleled peek behind the scenes to bring us this cutting analysis of new acquisition Aron Baynes.
Tommy is on his game tonight. Here are his thoughts on @aronbaynes ...pic.twitter.com/bkfPFvsxzr— Celtics on NBC Sports Boston (@NBCSCeltics) October 3, 2017
"I took a look at Baynes in the shower. He looks like all of Australia. He is really put together."
All those Celtics fans sitting at home who haven't seen Baynes naked and were wondering if he's a muscular 260 pounds now have their answer. There's no better source than a guy who's seen him naked.
Baynes was actually flattered by Peeping Tom's report, he said the next day.
Aron Baynes on Tommy Heinsohn's comments: "It's always nice to get a compliment from a Celtics legend ... The Missus got a few texts."— Chris Forsberg (@ChrisForsberg_) October 3, 2017
Heinsohn's been with the C's ever since they drafted him in 1956. Imagine how many more nude scouting reports he must have.

Product recalls are frequent, and can be very damaging to a business. They happen across all industries, though most frequently in the automotive, pharmaceutical, food, and child product industries. With a product recall comes enormous cost, and potential liability risks. Any business that sells products to the public should acquire business insurance. It can spare a company from the cost of a recall, and from legal fees and settlement, if they are sued.
Learn about the worst recalls in history, and the importance of business insurance in the infographic below, presented by InsuranceQuotes.com.

Route 66 may have been officially decommissioned in 1983 and removed from the nation's highway system but it hasn't been removed from the hearts of travelers.
Route 66 may have been officially decommissioned in 1983 and removed from the nation's highway system but it hasn't been removed from the hearts of travelers.
"The Mother Road," as it's known, still draws visitors, said Bill Kelly, executive director of the Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway in Springfield, bracing for another summer of activity along the route in the state.
"Route 66 was the first all-weather road to the Southwest but it's been reborn as a tourist destination," he said.
Opening in 1926, Route 66 is the two-lane road that, as the song says, "winds between Chicago and L.A.," running through states like Missouri, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
By the mid-1980s, modern highways such as I-70, I-44 and I-40 were handling the traffic that once traveled on Route 66, ending its reign as the road west for Americans.
But you can't keep a good road down, said Kelly. "We've got people - some coming from overseas - who want to travel on a legendary road. It's the chord that Route 66 strikes, that it represents a simpler time in America," he said.
"Now we've got a federal agency confirming what we already know," said Kelly, referring to an economic impact study recently performed by the National Park Service that credited Route 66 with generating more than $260 million across the nation.
"There's definitely an economic impact for Illinois communities on the route," he said, pointing to upcoming events.
"There's the Red Carpet Corridor, a celebration this Saturday and Sunday on the route with different attractions planned from Joliet to Towanda. That includes the Basset Waddle in Dwight," said Kelly.
In Springfield, there's the
Mother Road Festival from Sept. 21 through 23, but the route will be busy all summer, he said.
Towns continue to make improvements along the route, said Kelly. "In Atlanta, they made a commitment in 2009 and reopened the Palms Grill Cafe. In Pontiac, they've got the Route 66 Museum plus a number of businesses establishing a presence there just because of Route 66," he said.
There are actually four museums in Pontiac, said Rose Geralds, a tour guide at the Route 66 Museum. "None of our museums charge. It's all by donation," she said, referring to three floors of Route 66 memorabilia as well as displays at the war museum and a collection of vintage Pontiac automobiles.
"In the Pontiac area, we have four museums, 22 murals, three swinging bridges and nine Lincoln sites," said Geralds, adding that one of those murals offers the largest rendering of the famous Route 66 shield in the country.

1. God responds to our sin by being "graceful" and "merciful"
2. Dead to sin = No need to seek life from any other sources of life
3. Sin = anything we seek LIFE from other than GOD
4. Reconnect with the ULTIMATE source of life...don't connect with other "SOL's"
5. Baptism is the means by becoming "dead to sin"
6. When I place my faith in Christ through the articulation of baptism, I become reconnected to God
7. 2 questions: 1) Where are you seeking life? + 2) How would you evaluate your life?

It is often very important to check and change the metrics of certain software products before importing any licenses to the applications, because this process can limit the metrics that can be selected in the relevant drop-down menus.
For example, changing the metrics of Microsoft Visual Studio products from installations to users before importing user licenses and/or user assignments.
This can be done quite easily by searching for the names of the relevant applications and filtering based on the metrics set/to be set:
From where the metrics can now be set, depending on further contractual and/or technical dependencies (for example Software Assure and/or metering):

IFA business Group 300 is in the first stages of developing an aggregating wrap platform that would allow IFA clients to transfer their own assets and view portfolio values online.
Group 300 chief executive Chris Batten claims that the product will not remove the need for advisers and says it would be designed to help financial planning.
Batten says the firm intends to complete the first stages of the design process and then seek backing from a bigger player, possibly a US firm, to sponsor further research and development.
Financial Technology Research Centre director Ian McKenna estimates a project of this scale could cost £50m upwards. One of the firm's main competitors in the race to be the first to develop this type of product is American Express.
Group 300 is expanding its financial advice arm into the US and is about to open a Boston office. Batten feels US firms have a less anachronistic and more receptive view to financial services distribution.
The company will start offering financial services through its existing UK clients such as Claire's Accessories which already have franchises in the US.
Webline managing director Paul Holland says: "Wrap products like this will empower consumers with more functionality without negating the requirement for an adviser for advice. Consumers will still need to know the profile of certain funds, for example."
McKenna says: "There will be a handful of major infrastructure and platform providers offering aggregating wrap platforms but a wide range of diverse distribution organisations who will use their offerings."

Probabile che all'evento X ci sia l'annuncio.
Probabile che all'evento X ci sia l'annuncio.
Quando Microsoft è entrata nel mercato dei giochini (la cosa valeva anche per Sony comunque, soprattutto vista la dimensione dei "vecchi" produttori di console), sconvolse il mercato col "cheat" dei soldi infiniti. che dopo una generazione di sberleffi e prese in giro stia tornando su quella via, poco economica per loro, ma ottima per i videogiocatori? Chissà
Microsoft is finalizing a deal to acquire the independent development studio Obsidian Entertainment, according to three people briefed on the negotiations. We dont know if ink is on paper yet, and plenty of major acquisition deals have fallen apart in the final hours, but those close to the companies believe it is all but done.
One person with knowledge of the deal told Kotaku theyd heard it was 90% finished. Said a second person: Its a matter of when, not if.
Obsidian, best known for its work on critically acclaimed role-playing games like Knights of the Old Republic II (2004) and Fallout: New Vegas (2010), has been independent since it was founded in 2003. The Irvine, California-based studio has long been beloved by RPG fans, but has often faced financial strains, nearly going out of business in 2012 before it signed a deal for an online tank game and launched a Kickstarter for the isometric throwback that would become Pillars of Eternity.
One compelling argument for the sale is that being owned by a company with deep pockets will offer Obsidian stability and resources the likes of which it has never had before.
We do not comment on rumors or speculation, said a Microsoft spokesperson.
Unfortunately, we dont comment on rumors or speculation other than to say that the Rumors album by Fleetwood Mac still holds up, said an Obsidian spokesperson.
In late 2017, Obsidian announced that it was developing a new RPG that would be published by Private Division, a label of 2K Games designed to fund mid-sized games. The companies did not say anything about which consoles the RPG will be available on, and its not clear how this sale will affect that game. One option is for Microsoft to buy out the contract; another is for Microsoft to simply inherit it, allowing Obsidian to tie up its loose ends as part of the acquisition.
While it is our policy not to comment on rumors or speculation, we look forward to publishing the upcoming RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, and remain confident in the team there to deliver an outstanding game, said a representative for Private Division.
This would be a huge move for the company behind Xbox, which has been on a shopping spree this year, snapping up four game studios including Playground (Forza Horizon) and Ninja Theory (Hellblade). Its most recent notable game studio purchase before that was Mojang, the maker of Minecraft. Microsoft has kept Minecraft multiplatform, even enabling cross-play between Switch and Xbox One players, but console makers usually buy studios with the intent for those studios to make games for their consoles, not the competition. Microsofts biggest weakness this generation has been its stable of first-party developers, and with Obsidian, the company now has an RPG-focused studio that can help it compete against the PlayStations strong lineup.
A person familiar with goings-on at Microsoft said the company has been looking to bolster its PC development, which makes the PC-focused Obsidian a perfect fit.
Obsidian and Microsoft have a checkered history. Before the release of the Xbox One, Obsidian was working on an Xbox-exclusive role-playing game, published by Microsoft, called Stormlands. Tense disagreements between the two companies led Microsoft to cancel the game in 2012, and to some involved it was hard to imagine the pair working together again. The Xbox department is under different leadership now, however, with Phil Spencer taking the top role in early 2014. And the move appears to make sense for both parties.

Not many people put a visit to the dentist on the top of their list in plans for a wedding but with a grand daughter soon to be married, the outfit, the hairdo and the teeth become constant thoughts. Those crooked lower teeth - why hadn't something been done years ago?
Glancing through a magazine I spotted Smile at Kings Hill Dental Clinic.
If you could make a change to your smile what would it be – whiter, brighter, fresher, and straighter?
For me it was straighter. Shall I – shouldn't I – I'm much too old – 73 – totally ridiculous – but I'll just phone and enquire.
The response was encouraging, warm and friendly. No, - age was not a problem if general health and oral health were good. A consultation was arranged with the doctor.
The first visit was so easy. The whole team, from the moment you enter to the moment you leave, is outstanding. The welcome is personal, questions fully answered, explanations given. A course of treatment and the costs were discussed with the doctor and I agreed to go ahead.
It is one of the best telephone calls I have ever made. The clinic is beautifully appointed; spotlessly clean with fresh flowers to great you. Treatment is now well under way. I am thrilled and delighted and so great full to the dental team who are making my dreams come true.
It may have taken a life time, but at the wedding of my beautiful grand daughter I plan to have a smile equal to the brides.
Mrs L
Update from Mrs L:
Twelve months on and now aged 74 the job is done and my teeth are straight. The whole process could not have been easier. The only sensation was a slight tightness, for a couple of days, when the new plate was introduced.
The straight teeth looked so good that I decided to have all the amalgam fillings replaced with white ones.
An enormous 'thank you' to Dr Maani and his wonderful team for their expertise and kindness and for making dreams come true.
Dear Sia
Just a little card to say a HUGE thank you for your kindness in fixing my crown for me! I so appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to do such a lovely thing for me – its great to be able to smile again without feeling self conscious!
'Smile' is definitely the perfect name for your practice – yours is one of such warmth and sensitivity and all your patients must instantly feel at ease while having their very own smile restored!

I read with horror William Finnegan's New Yorker article on the Mexican war on drugs in the city of Guadalajara. In general, it seemed to me a good description of the chaos and lawlessness that Mexicans have always boasted they can live with and that now has completely engulfed the country. My big beef with the piece is that it barely mentions the source of all this satanic trouble: the insatiable drug consumption in the US and the cynical, bullying, hypocritical, and idiotic policy of the American government on the issue. Basically, the US is watching how Mexico descends into chaos fighting a problem that resides mostly within American borders, without sullying its own hands, or even trying to come up with viable solutions to curb demand.
Mexico used to be a place where one marveled at how the degree of chaos, corruption and improvisation coexisted with a relatively functioning, peaceful society. Not anymore. The drug business has put the coup de grace on the country and the upcoming elections are not reassuring, no matter who wins. I am extremely curious and anxious, as is every Mexican, I'm sure, to find out what happens at the transfer of power to a different party. I suspect it's not going to be pretty, no matter how you slice it.
Enrique Peña Nieto, the embarrassing candidate for the PRI, our old dictatorial party, is widely ridiculed, but he is on top of "polls" (if you can believe those in a country where rumor is the main source of information and the media has been bought wholesale). Mexicans are disenchanted by the ruling party, the PAN, which has been in power for 12 years and seems to want to call it a day by having chosen a cipher of a woman who has no presidential qualifications to speak of. The Mexican economy is not doing that badly, but the violence of the proxy war president Calderón is losing, will make people vote against the PAN. So the fight is between the old style corruption of the PRI, with an idiot puppet at the helm, and the PRD, the party of the left, and of disenchanted youth, led by an old PRI dinosaur, demagogue and sore loser, Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Many Mexicans think he is the "useful vote", the vote that will ensure against the return of the PRI and its monopolistic, corrupt mafia. Compared to the other two bozos, he seems more of an elder statesman. But how would AMLO fare with the Zetas and the cartels? What compromises would he make? And if he loses, will he again throw a massive tantrum and pay for thousands of people to camp out in protest for months as he did last time around? If he doesn't win, will the I Am #132 youth movement take to the streets and protest? Will there be violence?
I would never vote for the PRI. I never did. But I can understand Mexicans who think that it is the only chance of restoring order, because it is simply going to get a cut of the drug profits in exchange for peace. They pine for the era when the cartels were quietly going about their business with the complicity and partnership of the government. But I'm not sure that even the PRI and its dirty tactics can deal with a paramilitary
group like the Zetas, which effectively rules the country by fear and uses atrocity as a profit maximizer. Calderón opened Pandora's box and now there is no going back. The narcos are simply taking advantage of a system where the law is pathetic, and virtually non-existent. As long as Mexico has the antiquated, unfair, corrupt and inefficient judicial system that it has, mayhem will rule.
When I read about the terror the narcos are sowing, I wonder how Mexican children live today. How do you explain to your kids decapitations, the endemic fear of kidnapping, arson in nightclubs teeming with people, shootouts at kindergartens?
How can we expect anyone to continue coming to Mexico when cops are killed at THE AIRPORT? I wonder if in their quest for money and power the narcos have any conscience of the destruction they are inflicting on the country at all levels, economically, psychologically, morally. I bet they are all deeply patriotic, and I bet they love their country as we all do. Then why annihilate it like this? Will it ever stop?

Are you a hipster? If you are reading this sentence, the chances are pretty good that you are not. This is because being a hipster is deck, but identifying one's self as such is fin. On the other hand, not knowing what the words "deck" and "fin" mean also indicates one is not a member of the hipstergentsia. Confused? Let's try some definitions: Deck is the new fresh, which was the new cool. To review, deck means cool. Fin means lame, or lame-o, if the level of lameness needs to be elevated.
But what exactly is a hipster? To answer this question, we must go directly to the source -- "The Hipster Handbook."
According to its author, Robert Lanham, a hipster is: "One who possesses tastes, social attitudes and opinions deemed cool by the cool....The Hipster walks among the masses in daily life but is not part of them and shuns or reduces to kitsch anything held dear by the mainstream."
Lanham's claim to hipster high priesthood, is made suspect by his use of the word cool rather than deck, a faux pas that should not be dismissed in weighing his legitimacy.

Taking lunch to work and school is a cost-saving routine and eliminates stress associated with finding good, healthy food in the middle of your busy day.
It also determines whether your children have a healthy, energy-producing lunch or a high-fat, lethargy-causing lunch of junk food.
Since the day when the Earl of Sandwich invented the first sandwich by placing meat between two slices of bread, the sandwich has gained worldwide acclaim with selections as varied as the countries they come from.
Purchasing a sandwich in Cayman can cost you from $2.50 for corned beef sandwich at your local gas station, to around $3.50 to $6 at the supermarkets, up to $9.50 plus at cafes, coffee shops and restaurants. With cost-cutting on everyone's minds, making your own sandwich at home is a smart way to eat sensibly and save dollars for other pleasurable pastimes.
Lifestyles Tip: If you are single, make two sandwiches at once. Refrigerate one for tomorrow and pack the other for today. For those needing more variety, add different vegetables to each sandwich. Place pickles, tomatoes and other veggies between the turkey and cheese to avoid soggy bread or add these ingredients to your sandwich just before eating.
Cheap sandwich basics ingredients:
- Honey Roasted Turkey Breast;
- Light or regular mayonnaise;
- Pickles;
- Swiss or cheddar cheeses slices;
- Mustard;
- Hot Dog buns or hamburger rolls.
Delicious Turkey Sandwich
Stack six slices of turkey breast, mayonnaise, mustard, pickles and one slice of cheese adding any vegetables such as tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, alfalfa sprouts, olives and peppers. Cut in half, eat slowly and enjoy.
You may wish to buddy up with a friend if buying bulk items results in too much wastage because you are single or a couple. Get your young family involved in the sandwich preparation. You will be teaching them life skill, reducing stress and saving money. You will also be spending quality time with them in a creative kitchen.

This popular Wednesday evening series returns in 2018 in the usual format of eight event with normal courses followed by three events with multiple courses to be run by each competitor.
This series was conceived as a training series, but has reached considerable support in its own right. To this end, a post event debrief is held at a local hostelry for the comparison of performances and for the refreshing of the body.
However, it still retains the objective of training at its root, hence the inclusion of the Short (Yellow) course for novice and improving orienteers. The courses this year are:
A league table is maintained for the more competitive of you, and prizes are awarded on the evening of the last event.
The cost of entry this year has been increased for Seniors partly due to the increase in BO levy:
- Senior (21 and over) £4.
- Junior (under 21) £2.
- Family £10.
Non-members will be charged £1 for hire of a dibber if they haven't got their own, members will be loaned a dibber for free. NOTE: because of third party insurance limitations, non-members may not compete more than three times in any year.
The best 8 points scores count towards Series League positions.
Course Planners also can play a Joker in lieu of the event that they plan. They choose an event, prior to running, so that those points scored at this event are awarded for their planned event.

I walked through a gold door into Cynthia Rowley's West Village studio on a dreary, rainy weekday. Despite the weather, I slowly moved into a summer state of mind as I browsed through racks of colorful dresses, skirts, bathing suits and wetsuits. Cynthia Rowley walked in a few minutes later with her French Bulldog Ziggy trailing behind her.
Rowley serendipitously stumbled into fashion design when a local department store buyer discovered her on the train when she was in college. "I studied art and thought I would be a painter, but I always made my own clothes," she remembers. "I switched to fashion at the Art Institute of Chicago and starting a company right out of school was sort of an organic evolution." She packed up a U-Haul and moved to New York City to start her company.
"I've taken a lot of risks through the years, but I always followed my instincts and always explored new opportunities. The biggest reward has been having an idea and being able to make it a reality," she says, "My passions always lead the way — travel and adventure, fitness, art and home." I spoke to Rowley about her career path and advice.
Gross: What advice do you have for other women who hope to start their own businesses?
Rowley: Do it.
Gross: What are your responsibilities as designer and founder of Cynthia Rowley?
Rowley: First and foremost, I'm responsible for the creative vision and storytelling of the brand. This is the fun part that leads our business strategy. We have a great team and we all work together to push boundaries. This all sounds very high-level, but of course the day-to-day includes every single part of the business, from soup to nuts, designing all products, e-commerce, retail, public relations, wholesale and sales, partnerships, accounts payable and receivable, warehouse logistics and coming up with a clever caption for Instagram.

n October 2016 her second solo album Lux was released at venerable classical label BIS Records (Emilia is BIS's only folk music artist), following her success debut Trollfågeln. On Lux, Emilia shines as a composer, arranger, ensemble leader and soloist, and we get to meet influences from all over the world, in music for nyckelharpa, vocals, string ensemble and percussion.

Emilia Amper Band features Emilia's own compositions and arrangements for nyckelharpa, vocals, string ensemble (from trio up to full symphony orchestra) and percussion.
Emilia has always made tunes on her instrument, but it was after she played the first times as a soloist with chamber orchestra with the Trondheim Soloists in Norway, that she was inspired to start composing and arranging her tunes for her instrument plus string ensemble. She lived in Trondheim from 2003-2007 and studied musicology at the University there, and chose composing, Western classical music, at the Music Convervatory in Trondheim as her special subject for the third year.
ODE consists of three glimmering stars in the Swedish folk music sky: Olle Linder (8 string guitar, mandola, percussion and vocals), Dan Svensson (percussion, vocals and guitar) and Emilia Amper (nyckelharpa and vocals), and their sound is full of rhythmic influences from Sweden, West Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. Their chemistry, as people and musicians, is extraordinary and they build their repertoire solely on original, newly composed, material. The lyrics have a contemporary feel, and are inspired by things that concern us here and now.
Their debut album was released in June 2013 and they have been touring since, in the Nordic countries, Europe and the US.
ODE is now working on new material due to be released in 2018.
Five musicians - five expressions
One goal - Musical freedom of speech
Five powerful, brilliant and ground breaking artists in an alliance to explore musical paths, spread equality and unite people through music.
The Forbidden Orchestra is an open-minded and warm-hearted oasis where musical traditions meet and inspire each other.
Based on norm breaking artistry, powerful personal stories and the will to promote peace and freedom of speech, The Forbidden Orchestra give a performance filled with joy, sorrow and mesmerizing grooves moving across all borders.

Welcome to a musical knockout!
Emilia has always made tunes on her instrument, but it was after she played the first times as a soloist with chamber orchestra with the Trondheim Soloists in Norway, that she was inspired to start composing and arranging her tunes for her instrument plus string ensemble. She lived in Trondheim from 2003-2007 and studied musicology at the University there, and chose composing, Western classical music, at the Music Convervatory in Trondheim as her special subject for the third year.
The idea with Emilia's compositions and arrangements, and also Emilia Amper Band, is that all music can be performed with all sizes of ensembles. She normally wants to perform with at least a string trio and percussion, but can also perform with only cello and percussion or with chamber orchestra or even symphony orchestra. Her arrangements for string orchestra has been developed for symphony orchestra by the well-known composer, arranger and conductor Karl-Johan Ankarblom. Kalle has a background as a folk fiddler since childhood and has great knowledge and understanding of this music, so he was the perfect arranger to work with Emilia's music.
Emilia Amper has performed with her band all over Sweden and in Norway and with orchestras in Sweden, Norway, Belgium, China, Brazil, India and Germany.
The nyckelharpa ('keyfiddle' or 'keyed fiddle') is a type of fiddle that uses 'keys' to shorten the strings and thus create different notes. As well as the strings that are bowed, there are sympathetic strings which are set in motion by the vibrations in the body of the instrument. These features, and the design of the body, all contribute to the characteristic silvery, yet warm and resonant tone of the nyckelharpa.
With its roots stretching back to medieval Europe, the nyckelharpa that we know today was most common in the Swedish region Uppland, north of Stockholm. It developed from a modal instrument, with a single melodic string and two drone strings, and with twelve keys and an arched bow, into models with several melodic strings and a single drone or no drone at all, but with sympathetic strings and a straighter bow. Created in 1929 by August Bohlin, the modern chromatic nyckelharpa began to be widely accepted thanks to the efforts of master nyckelharpa player, builder and composer Eric Sahlström. It has four bowed strings and twelve sympathetic strings – one for each semitone of the chromatic scale.
The family of nyckelharpas, besides various earlier models, now also includes tenor, alto and sopranino instruments as well as an electric version. Having almost died out in the middle of the twentieth century, the nyckelharpa has made a remarkable comeback and there are increasing numbers of performers in various countries with all sorts of musical styles.
The modern nyckelharpa is generally tuned CGCA but nowadays a variety of bassstring tunings are used with fifths above it like a violin. Emilia generally tunes her instrument DGDA.
Emilia is a passionate and charismatic teacher who loves sharing her knowledge in various contexts. She has given workshops to children, adult beginners and professionals, in nyckelharpa, folk music ensemble, different styles of Swedish and Nordic traditional music, singing and dancing, playing for dancing and composing/arranging. She has held seminars about the nyckelharpa and Swedish traditional music/styles.
She teaches at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm (ensemble, composing, arranging and freelance knowledge), has taught nyckelharpa at the Sibelius Academy in Finland, has been a guest lecturer in ensemble and nyckelharpa at the Malmö Academy of Music, has taught at various schools and music schools, and held many courses and workshops in Sweden, Norway, France, Germany, the US, Spain, China, Canada and the UK.

When one faces a dearth of information – especially about one's god – one is almost certainly bound to look elsewhere. Dubious sources are not excluded from such a search. Now, imagine if one's god has worshipers functionally no different than itself – worshipers who are no different in potential – merely in capacity. Gods in embryo. Their father is dead, or as good as – and has shown himself to have feet of clay, besides. Their god is silent – and seemingly just as dead.
When one believes one has found the culprit behind that god's silence, well; woe betide him, and her too, when it comes to things of consequence, when they are placed in circumstances requiring fortitude and strength of mind, if she have not resolution enough to resist idle interference. It is the worst evil of too yielding and indecisive a character, that no influence over it can be depended on. You are never sure of a good impression being durable; everybody may sway it. Let those who would be happy be firm.
There is no such fanatic as a convert, newly made. From such grow the seeds of extremity. Let the reader understand.
Where angels might have sat
enthroned, devils lurked, and glared out menacing. No
change, no degradation, no perversion of humanity, in any
grade, through all the mysteries of wonderful creation, has
monsters half so horrible and dread.
They are Man's

It's cold here in Texas...well, cold for Texas...
So, it's been cold in south Texas this past week. I moved here in the summer of 2004 and this has been the coldest it's ever been since then. Temperatures have been in the teens. These Texans are not used to this cold. And since I've been here for six years, neither am I. I don't even have a winter coat anymore to protect me from the cold. That's okay, because next week it'll be back in the 50's. No big deal.
But I did worry about this guy...
Mr. Asshole did put a heat light out for him, so I guess that's something. The only reason he looks perky out here is because I went out on the back patio to take his picture and he got excited. Then he came bounding across the yard to me and I felt guilty about him getting out from under the light. When I'm not outside, he just huddles there on his bed. Why in God's name couldn't Mr. Asshole just bring the damn dog in for a couple of nights?? I just don't get it. I know...I'm on my soapbox again, but why do people have pets when they want absolutely nothing to do with them? All my friends at work are ready to steal Gringo. We're going to put on black clothing and masks and whisk him away some night. The shame is...it would probably take Mr. Asshole at least a week to figure out he was gone. Some people just suck.

so sad about the dog-- I probably would take him in, too! I worry about my dog just when he has to go out for a little bit! ( I finally found the sweet spot for our wifi)

Note to your friends: Just DO IT!!!
I haven't read many blogs lately, and am sorry to hear that Gringo is still owned by mr asshole! :.-(
I hope it won't be long before he belongs to someone else. He deserves a better life with someone who loves him!

TAKE HIM!!! That is just awful. Yesterday I took a dog out of a persons car at HEB. Yes, I know I was in the wrong but I got to my car. Waited 15 min and still no one....this dog was in a car with the sun beating down...heat of the day and NO windows down!!!! I took the dog and brought it to the pound. Told them what I did and they were shocked but they doors were unlocked so I figured they were hoping someone would take him. JERKS!! Then I was at Pizza Hut picking up dinner and 2 dogs were in a car! Called the animal control as the doors were locked. Why in the world do people leave their animals in the car in this TX heat?? Those 2 and Mr. Asshole don't deserve to be dog owners!!!

The inaugural XTERRA Way Over Yonder off-road triathlon in Wawayanda State Park in Hewitt, New Jersey was the realization of a dream come true for race director, David Schwartz.
"Wawayanda State Park has always been a magical place for me," said Schwartz, who has been riding the trails for years. "Sixteen years ago, I called this place 'Way Over Yonder,' and the name stuck. I really wanted a race near New York City. Since there wasn't one, I decided to start one myself."
Although Wawayanda State Park in Hewitt, New Jersey is located less than an hour outside of New York City, it feels more like it's in the middle of nowhere.
"It's a technical course which you may not expect," said Schwartz. "But New Jersey rock is truly something special."
As a testament to that statement, the start list included some die-hard XTERRA veterans - including Daryl Weaver, Charlie Redmond, Bob Horn, Tad Norton, and 2016 XTERRA Pan Am Champ Steve Croucher – as well as first time XTERRA competitors from the local mountain bike community.
Rob Ricard was the men's champ with a blazing fast overall time of 2:06:03.
"I came out of the water third behind Matt Alford and Steve Croucher," said Ricard. "I know these guys are good swimmers so I felt good that they were in sight as I clawed my way up the beach."
On the bike, Ricard caught Alford and Croucher but had Daryl Weaver riding right behind him.
"At every race we are in together, whenever I'm on my bike and letting up, I say to myself, 'Daryl is coming.' I must have said that 100 times on Saturday. He caught me right before T2. The guy can run, so I knew I had my hands full as we started out together."
The two ran together for the first three miles of the five mile course. "I managed to get a little gap on Daryl when we hit the narrow, rocky trail through the trees," said Ricard "Once out of the woods, that last mile was long. The run course followed the same route we'd ridden earlier and I so wished I could have my bike back."
Runner up Daryl Weaver finished in 2:10:42 and Steve Croucher followed him in 2:11:29 for third. First time XTERRA competitors and local mountain bikers Ryan Heerschap and Charles Gomes finished in the top 15. Team West Orange won the relay competition with a time of 2:30:10.
In the women's race, Maria Smit, finished in 2:58:35 after overcoming a mechanical challenge.
"The trails at Wawayanda are notoriously rocky, and I never had a chance to pre-ride the bike course," said Smit. "So my plan for the day was simply to have fun in the woods, which turned out well in the end!"
Smit added that the lake temperature was quite comfortable due to a recent heat wave.
"I was grateful that it was a two-lap swim so I could clear out my goggles on the beach run," she said. "I saw a few fish in the weeds below me, who apparently wanted to join in the fun too."
The 13-mile mountain bike course was technical and rocky. "We don't have rocks where I live on Long Island," said Smit, "So I tried to stay relaxed and focused. I stayed clean through the technical sections but dropped my chain towards the end. It took me longer than it should have to get it back on, but I tried to just do my own thing."
At T2, Smit was a minute behind leader Celeste St. Pierre and passed her shortly after the course joined part of the Appalachian Trail. "I was fighting a leg cramp," said Smit. "I was lucky to stay ahead. I hope the race continues because the course was really unique and it was so well-organized. I'll be back!"
Celeste St. Pierre held onto second place until she finished in 2:59:05, and Megal Bilodeau was third in 3:14:34.

If you do any contract work, you've probably had the joy of tracking your hours (if you're still trying to solve that issue, check out my Project Hamster post) and then creating an invoice of some sort for the client. In the past I have tried a couple of solutions such as a creative Excel spreadsheet or creating a new email from scratch each time. I've also checked out the online service Blink Sale, but, never really liked the thought of some other company knowing how much I'm billing my clients and making each month. That, and there was the 3 invoices per month limit for the free version.
This is where BambooInvoice steps in. It's a FOSS solution that you host on your own server. The interface is great, and installation is simple.

UK labour market statistics confirm stronger wage cost pressures and suggest that the MPC will press ahead with another interest rate increase next month. The view here remains that the Committee should hold fire because of worryingly weak monetary trends.
Annual growth of average weekly earnings, smoothed over three months, was unchanged at 2.8% in February and below a consensus forecast of 3.0%. The undershoot, however, reflected lower growth of bonus payments – the ex. bonuses measure moved up to 2.8%, the highest since 2015.
Hourly pay, moreover, is rising considerably faster because of a fall in average weekly hours worked over the last year. Hourly earnings growth, including or excluding bonuses, is estimated to have increased further to 4.0% in February, with the ex. bonuses measure the highest since 2009 – see first chart.
The recent acceleration of hourly earnings has outpaced a modest improvement in growth of productivity (i.e. output per hour), implying stronger unit wage cost expansion – second chart. Annual productivity growth rose to 1.0% in the fourth quarter of 2017 and may have increased slightly further in the first quarter, reflecting the dropping-out of a quarterly decline a year earlier. With hourly earnings growth at 4.0%, however, annual unit wage cost expansion may have moved up towards 3% last quarter, after 2.4% in the fourth quarter.
MPC concern about labour market overheating will be heightened by a further fall in the unemployment rate to 4.2% in the three months to February and 4.0% in February alone – below a forecast of 4.3% for the first quarter in the February Inflation Report.
Increased labour cost pressures support the view here that consumer price inflation will be slower to return to the 2% target than the MPC projected. As previously discussed, however, these pressures reflect past monetary and economic strength – current weak monetary trends suggest diminishing medium-term inflation risks, with narrow and broad money growing at annualised rates of only 1.6% and 1.1% respectively in the three months to February. A May rate hike would risk exacerbating this weakness.
