en | N/A | N/A | So anyways a few people on my flist brought up the whole question, "The sad thing is that there are going to be people who watch the japanese drama and not give the Hua Yang (HanaKimi) a chance because they are too intent on the j-drama for the cast". You know my response to this?
I mean if it is true that the company is taking all sorts of of liberties with the drama, then seriously anyone who is going to prefer the J-drama over the T-drama (and Manga) are really no fans of the series at all. All I've seen in that HanaKimi post is that there is a bunch of fantardish name-dropping. That is all. (And seriously I only know the actor names for the T-drama one because of such people as mistressalissa who is on my flist).
So I'm going to watch it, and if I deem it any good, I WILL retract everything I said, but once again there are standards that I have in regards to this and I won't sway from my standards. And I still maintain the fact that Umeda being gay -is- a plotpoint, because that is how he becomes her advisor in the first place, he senses her because he has a thing for sensing women, since he is gay and evidentally gay men can tell if it's a boy or just a girl in drag. |

- The management team of Lynx Entertainment has revealed that three top musicians turned down a feature on Kuami Eugene's 'Angela'
“When we were trying to make the boys, did you see anyone helping us?Why do you think that their songs don’t have features?
So how do they lower the total amount paid without refinancing?h?
I’m not trying to be rude, but the math is confusing me. If their payment is roughly $2500 how are they paying 46K in interest in the first year?
Wow!I had no idea that a small amount over on the monthly payments made such a difference!
Congrats on paying off the house!It must be such a good feeling for you both. Now what will you do with the “extra” money every month?
I have known this for a long time, but hadn’t really seen it in black and white. I have added it to my financial plan. Thanks! |
en | N/A | N/A | This volume is the first attempt to reconsider the entire corpus of an ancient canonical author through the lens of queerness broadly conceived, taking as its subject Euripides, the latest of the three great Athenian tragedians. Although Euripides' plays have long been seen as a valuable source for understanding the construction of gender and sexuality in ancient Greece, scholars of Greek tragedy have only recently begun to engage with queer theory and its ongoing developments. Queer Euripides represents a vital step in exploring the productive perspectives on classical literature afforded by the critical study of orientations, identities, affects and experiences that unsettle not only prescriptive understandings of gender and sexuality, but also normative social structures and relations more broadly.
Bringing together twenty-one chapters by experts in classical studies, English literature, performance and critical theory, this carefully curated collection of incisive and provocative readings of each surviving play draws upon queer models of temporality, subjectivity, feeling, relationality and poetic form to consider "queerness" both as and beyond sexuality. Rather than adhering to a single school of thought, these close readings showcase the multiple ways in which queer theory opens up new vantage points on the politics, aesthetics and performative force of Euripidean drama. They further demonstrate how the analytical frameworks developed by queer theorists in the last thirty years deeply resonate with the ways in which Euripides' plays twist poetic form in order to challenge well-established modes of the social. By establishing how Greek tragedy can itself be a resource for theorizing queerness, the book sets the stage for a new model of engaging with ancient literature, which challenges current interpretive methods, explores experimental paradigms, and reconceptualizes the practice of reading to place it firmly at the center of the interpretive act.
Full of innovative analyses of Euripides' plays, this ground-breaking volume is the first to employ queerness as a lens for examining the entire surviving corpus of an ancient Greek playwright. In both form and content it heralds a new approach to ancient texts that should have a deep impact on the field of Classics and reach many audiences beyond it. |

itemsACKSONVILLE – Forty-three days after he tore ligaments in his right ankle and fractured his fibula, Terrell Owens yesterday returned to practice with the Eagles, a positive step forward in his determined attempt to play Sunday.
The Eagles ran 30 offensive plays during the 70-minute workout on a cloudy, chilly day at the University of North Florida and coach Andy Reid said Owens participated in “a little less than a third of those.” Each time he ran a route, Owens was thrown the ball and on his final play he celebrated a catch with hearty high-fives with fellow receivers Todd Pinkston and Freddie Mitchell.
Teammates are tired of fielding questions about Owens but they sure were glad to see him running. “I won’t say anything outside of he looks great,” safety Michael Lewis said, laughing. “He looks great!”
“I know the doctor said he’s not gonna clear him but T.O. knows what he can do and cannot do,” Fryar said. “The doctor doesn’t feel what T.O. feels or doesn’t feel. If he can, yeah, he’d better play. If it was me, I’d be doing the same thing. If he’s at 80 percent I think he’ll be effective, he may even go out and catch the winning touchdown.” </s> AJon Ragin, a former associate of alleged Queens drug kingpin Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff, told a Brooklyn federal judge that McGriff, the shooter and a third man came to Ragin’s auto garage in Brooklyn looking for an alibi after the notorious May 2000 attack in which the rapper was shot nine times.
Ragin, with the jury out of the room, said that after the trio arrived, he joined them on a Downtown Brooklyn shopping spree so they could acquire receipts with times and places away from the crime scene.
Ragin identified the triggerman as Robert “Son” Lyons. 50 Cent survived the attack.
Ragin said McGriff and members of his crew later joked about how 50 Cent “squirmed” in the car outside his grandmother’s house as the bullets riddled his body.e |

en | N/A | N/A | These are just a few tips for producing better looking videos for yourself. Most are fairly obvious once you're aware of them, but they don't seem to occur to many people (see the complementary “filming gripes” page for a quick synopis of common problems and solutions). If you want something to corroborate them, watch something on television but pay more attention to what's being recorded, and how, than whatever it is that they're portraying. You'll only need to study a few minutes worth to understand what I've outlined below, and you'll pick up a few more ideas as well. If you're really keen on producing interesting-to-watch footage, then I'd suggest studying some of the more well-known Alfred Hitchcock films, or some of Stanley Kubrick's films (just to mention a couple of directors famous for interesting photography in their work). You can see some simple, but very effective, techniques that can be done with virtually any camera (i.e. most of what they've done is production technique, not special effects).
Although you can zoom into a shot, to appear to get closer, it's not the same thing. The visual perspective is different, and so is the sound. You get nicer looking shots when you get closer to a person that you're filming, and the sound will be much better.
Turn off auto-focus and auto-exposure, and manually control them. They're not magic, they can't tell what part of your picture is the focal point, nor what is the correct exposure for the entireity of the picture (they'll just average the picture to mid-level exposure, which doesn't work for very contrasty shots, or anything that shouldn't actually look mid-level exposed).
Focus is a distance-related thing—it needs to be set to suit the distance between what you're filming, and the camera. On a real film camera, you'd measure the distance and set the focus to the same mark on the lens. For less precise lenses, you set focus by adjusting for a sharp looking picture. Do so to see a sharply defined image on the actual point of interest in the shot. e.g. If you're filming a person speaking, then focus on their mouth or their eyes, that's what the viewer will be looking at. Do not focus the camera on the wall behind them.
Decide on the style of shots that you will use, and be consistent unless there's a reason to change. For example, most productions tend to use static shots, and will change camera angles (when needed) by cutting to a new shot. Generally, you'll only have a motion shot if there's a need for it, such as to follow someone who walks around in a fairly tight shot. Whereas action scenes might use nothing but motion shots, usually to make things look more frantic than they really were. Some directors will start using motion shots during boring scenes, but they really should have changed the scene to make it less boring.
Filming something else gives you shots to break up what you're filming, to hide where you place your edits (cutting away to something else, for a moment, allows you to edit out parts that you don't want, without it being glaringly obvious that you've taken something out), and so it's not boring to watch. But make sure that what you use as “cut-aways” are appropriate to what you're interrupting (e.g. show what they're talking about, the whole scene around them, or the reactions to what they're doing, etc.), and aren't confusing (e.g. don't switch views so that something that was going from right to left is suddenly moving in the opposite direction, nor do everything all in close-up so that viewers can't comprehend a scene).
If you can't get close enough to what you're taping, or you're in a noisy environment, then using a microphone that's remote from the camera really helps get a much better sound (you record more of the scene's sound, rather than the camera noises, this way). You can get wireless mikes quite cheaply, so you're not tethered together; or you can get a very long cable so you avoid radio interference with the sound, but still be able to record distant sources.
Be mindful of what you want to record. If it's just one thing, then get the microphone as close to that as possible. But if you want to also capture some of the ambient sound, then you want to pull the microphone back a bit, use certain types of mikes, or use more than one microphone through a sound mixer.
Use a shockmount to hold your microphone, it'll help prevent handling noises getting into the sound. Likewise, use wind filters to reduce wind noise pickup.
I'd recommend against taking sound feeds from someone else's mixing desk, unless you've got your own mixer and microphones to record ambient sound with it, have audio transformers to avoid hum loops, and you're somewhere where you can properly monitor your sound without interference from ambient noise. Typically, you'll find that they've not miked everything, and some things will not be covered (leaving you with poor, or no sound, for that portion). And that the mixing levels for amplification purposes are usually not suitable for recording.
Mixing together different light sources is usually a bad idea. Daylight is much bluer than most artificial light sources. Studio lighting is generally reddish–orange compared to daylight. And flourescent lighting usually used to be quite greenish, although they do come in a variety of colour temperatures. It's well to remember that it's common enough for a room to have a mixture of different types of flouros being used in it, and their age also affects their colour.
You can get quite small tripods that are easy to carry around, even tiny ones designed so that you can place a camera on a table to get a steady shot, but still be able to adjust the angle of the camera.
Use a tripod that's designed to carry the weight of your camera. It shouldn't wobble while you use the camera, the locks should be strong enough to hold the camera in any position, by themselves. Video camera tripods should let you do smooth pans and tilts, many still camera tripods aren't suitable for supporting a camera with movement.
Edit, and be ruthless while editing

en | N/A | N/A | July 25, 2022 Admin Interior Demolition 0
To make sure that you don’t end up clueless while embarking on an interior demolition job, we have prepared this handy guide for you. Read on to know how you should go about the job.
Inspect Before You Demolish
A proper inspection can also help you decide whether you should carry out the interior demolition yourself or if it’s simple enough to be carried out by you on your own.
Locate a Suitable Demolition Company
You shouldn’t think of going about interior demolition all by yourself unless you are an absolute expert at the job. This holds true irrespective of the scale of the project.
Wck. Look for the customer reviews and ratings they have on social media and their websites.
Just as in the case of exterior demolition, there are strict laws governing interior demolition work in all Canadian cities right from the big ones like Montreal to the smaller ones like Hudson. You can acquire a permit at the local Buildings Department and by getting one, you commit to-
Turn off all utilities for complete safety
Stop all water running into the house
Notify all your neighbors about the approaching demolition
When you recruit a contractor to perform the demolition, they are likely to acquire all the necessary permits. However, make it a point to double-check with them and leave nothing to chance. After receiving the permit, you should display it on your front door.
It’ll make passersby aware of the demolition work going on inside and tell them that the work is being carried out per the law. Make a note of the point that you’ll need an additional permit for the removal of asbestos.
Occasionally, you might need to remove insulation from the ceiling when carrying out interior demolition. If not done properly, it can create quite a mess and take up a lot of your time. When you’re removing insulation, make sure that you-
Remove asbestos, mold, waste of rodents, and all other contaminants from the area
Remove all pieces of insulation thoroughly with a lot of care
Dispose of all the insulation responsibly following local laws
Dealing with the Debris
After you are done with your interior demolition job, you’ll have to deal with the mess that’s left behind. This is when you’ll need a dumpster since it’s the best way you can get rid of the mess.
Your secret weapon for debris removal comes in the form of roll-off container rentals. You may as well dump all the other junk you have been planning to get rid of for years.
Waste removal is under the scope of strict laws in all big Canadian cities like Montreal or South Shore and the small ones as well like Beaconsfield or Lachine. Having a dumpster ready prevents debris, dirt, and dust from piling up in your work area.
It’s the size of the project and how complex it is that decides the overall cost of a project as it does in most demolition jobs. To form a rough estimate, we only need to look into what customers have been paying over the past few years for similar projects.
Interior demolition jobs need a certain skill and expertise. Therefore, you should perform them yourself only if you are an expert. It’s better to employ experts though. Carry out a thorough home inspection before you proceed.
An interior demolition job, it has been found can cost you $2,000 to $4,000. Go ahead with it only after you are thoroughly prepared. |

en | N/A | N/A | LAND O’ LAKES — A group of parents opposed to plans for a cell tower at Seven Oaks Elementary won round one Tuesday when they persuaded to delay action for another month.
The parents say the school district is putting their children’s health at risk in exchange for the money the cell tower would generate.
The board, at Browning’s request, agreed to wait until Dec. 17 before it votes on a cell tower lease agreement with F&L Towers of Tampa. The 10-year lease, which includes options that could extend it to 30 years, calls for the company initially to pay the school district annual rent of $24,000.
The rent would increase 3.5 percent each year. In addition, the district would receive an extra $12,000 annually for each tenant that locates on the tower. The district estimates the tower could generate more than $1 million over 30 years.
“I implore the board, don’t give this the go-ahead to have this tower in the middle of our school to jeopardize our children’s health,” he said.
The parents said if money is an issue, they would prefer to participate in fundraisers. They also said the district has moved too quickly because many of them didn’t know about the cell tower plans until about two weeks ago when a meeting was held at the school.
“We like cell towers; we need them,” Dzanan said. “We do not need them above our children’s heads.” |
en | N/A | N/A | I’m sad to report that the payphone at Pineapple and Cadman was removed in the past week or two. I think this may have been the last phone booth in the Heights, after the one on the promenade was removed about a year ago.
Whens the last time you actually used a payphone?
I had my first vaccination there last Sunday. A completely professional, expedient experience. One of hose singular examples of things working as they should. Thanks to Notify New York, an email service that alerts subscribers to all things City–including, in my case, local vaccine availability–for kicking the whole process off.
I last used the Pineapple phone about six months ago. Tried to use it about a month ago, but it ate my quarter.
Actually my biggest complaint with payphones these days is not that their owners are removing them, but that they’ve left the non-functioning ones up. They get a concession from the city to take up the sidewalk and blast out advertising in exchange for providing calling service, but they’re not doing that.
Wouldn’t that be Hicks Street?
Nope, Remsen. You can see the Queen Anne-style townhouse, fourth house over, back when the stoop was still attached. And the Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Cathedral is at the right. The street hasn’t changed much, thankfully.

en | N/A | N/A | How To Approach Beautiful Women Successfully
The art of approaching women without getting rejected…
There are many ways to approach a beautiful woman, and some of them can get you a date with her; depending on the situation and the type of girl she is.
You should definitively approach differently a girl on the beach, a woman in the coffee shop, a beauty in the club and a lady in the opera house. Always remember that the place and situation dictates the way you should approach a beautiful womawomen:
1.You need to be as relaxed as possible (we will work on this later in this article)
2.Take the pressure off yourself
3.Be Spontaneous (forget about memorizing the pick-up lines)
4.Just do it!
5.Be original but not ridiculous
6.Humor is your best friend
7.Be respectful
8.If she says “no”, take it like a man
Relax and Enjoy the Unknown
One of the major indicators of self-confidence is the level of tension that a person exhibits when interacting with other people; and women LOVE self-confident men.
If you are sweating, shaking and stuttering when approaching a woman she would most likely reject you. Therefore, if you experience an anxiety attack when trying to pick up a woman the first thing you need to work on is your anxiety. The good news is that you can easily conquer your anxiety if you are guided (treated) right.
If you are just nervous when approaching a beautiful woman that means that you are alive, and that you would really like to date her. This is normal but you need to hide it from her.
Think about approaching a woman as the battle between two armies; and the outcome of that battle would determine whether the war goes on or it’s all over before it even started.
In this case, you want the “war” to last as long as possible. That is until her army surrenders to yours, and you find her arms around you while passionately kissing you…
In other words, if you let her know that you are nervous (thus self-doubting) that is the same as letting the general of the army that you are about to face in the battlefield know the weakest spot of your army; and that would not be the smartest thing to do. Would it?
How to relax when approaching a beautiful woman?
Take the pressure off yourself – accept the fact that some women will reject you. It is completely normal to get rejected by a woman for numerous reasons; some of which have nothing to do with you. You don’t know if she is in a long-term relationship or in love with her best girl-friend, or is just having a really bad day. Being rejected is an inseparable part of dating.
Don’t try to memorize the pick-up lines or anything else for that matter. When you memorize something you have the need to go over it in your head. In other words you stress about it, which is the last thing you want to do when interacting with a beautiful woman.
Be spontaneous – just go with the flow and let the situation guide you through the process of getting her to like you.
Just do it – don’t think too much about approaching a beauty that already took your breath away, because if you do you would definitively suffocate and won’t be able to utter even one word that makes any sense.
Remember, the more you wait and think about approaching her the more stress is building up inside you, and the less effective you would be.
The problem with beautiful girls is that they have heard it all before, which is why it is quite difficult to be original when around them. However, the good news is that if you accomplish to be even little original when in the company of a beauty that will most likely get you quite far with her.
It is really hard to teach someone to be original but again if you are relaxed and spontaneous the chances are you will be as original as possible in the given situation.
(Marilyn Monroe)
One of the most frequent things women say when describing the things they love most about their boyfriends and husbands is: “He makes me laugh”.
Therefore if you can make her laugh make sure you don’t miss the change to do so. Important thing to note is that not all jokes are appropriate when approaching a woman.
All women like to be respected which is why you should always be respectful to a woman no matter the situation. If you are disrespectful in any way, chances are she will reject you and she will think little of you.
When in company of a woman you should be a gentleman and not some immature teenage-like brat that makes fun of other people, pinches her in any place or is way too laud and cocky.
If She Rejects You Don’t Lose Your Cool
As we said before, it is normal to get rejected from time and every man should be prepared for it.
That being said, it is quite painful to be rejected by a woman. In fact it is so painful and embarrassing that many men choose not to approach women because of the fear of rejection.
Yes, being rejected by a woman is uncomfortable, painful and embarrassing but it is also a very important part of becoming a man.
The interesting thing about being rejected is that it that doesn’t have to be an end of the “war”. It could just mean that you’ve lost the first battle and that it is time to count your losses, regroup and attack again, but with a different tactic this time.
Anyways, if she says “no” that means exactly that, and you should act as cool as possible about it; because the “cooler” you are the more chances you will have the next time you see her. |

Name recognition has helped the Junior Sabres develop a roster that is balanced at forward, versatile on defense and exceptional in goal. Youth players know of Peca and former coach Grant Ledyard and are interested in playing for them.
“We have former NHL players who have come in, and that’s given our program some recognition and is something we can add to the program that other teams can’t,” said Playfair, who played parts of 10 seasons for the Sabres during the 1970s and '80s. “That was always our intention when the alumni association took over the Junior Sabres, to give any of our guys who are out there and want to consider coaching, they can try it on for size.”
It’s been an ideal fit for Peca. He’s coached his son’s youth team for years in Western New York and was eager to try the Tier II junior league, which has players ages 16 to 20.
“At this age you can touch kids and have an effecmore so than pro guys,” Peca said. “Anytime you’re successful the environment is always going to be fun, but we’ve also tried to keep them reined in and teach them about humility and realize that things can change pretty quickly and not take any moment for granted. It’s just been a really, really good environment.”
Peca, who was captain of the Sabres in the 1990s, is in his second season as general manager. He traded for Sean Federow, the team’s top defenseman, and signed Pennsylvania forward Tyler Gjurich, who leads the league with 27 goals and 50 points in 32 games.
The Junior Sabres have eight players with at least 20 points, depth that will help them get through a road trip of three games in three nights that starts today in Georgetown, Ont.
The team is also led by goalie Parker Gahagen, a Williamsville North product in his second season. He has a league-high six shutouts,lleges, including Colgate and Canisius, have taken notice, which remains the primary goal. Forward Josh Kielich has committed to play for the Golden Griffins, while defenseman Darrin Trebes will skate for Fredonia.
“The more of those kids who can move on, the better we feel we’ve done,” Playfair said.
In a domino effect, the better the team does, the more attention it attracts for current and future players. Peca has been getting calls and emails from kids as far away as Florida and Chicago who want to try out for the squad.
He foresees the Junior Sabres growing from a great team this season into a perennial powerhouse, especially once the organization moves into the Webster Block rink that Sabres owner Terry Pegula is constructing.
“We’ve got a unique opportunity this season to do really well in the postseason and give some guys an even greater opportunity for exposure,” Peca said. </s> Thread: WTF is a Master of Defense?

en | N/A | N/A | Q: How slowly can you clock an AT25DF641A SPI Flash? I am have started to try to use a SPI Flash. To better understand how it works, I decided to try to bit bang it with the GPIO on a Raspberry Pi. Everything seems correct, but I do not seem to have any output from the SPI Flash. The clock signal I am sending it is approximately 1 hertz. As I troubleshoot, I thought I should ask the question:
Is there a limit to how slowly you can interface with an SPI flash?
Source: https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/590/doc8693-1385727.pdf
A: See page 49 of the data sheet, section 14.4. There is no minimum clock frequency listed so you can clock it as slowly as you wish. Take years if you want.
A: Thank you for all your answers. I am posting this for anyone who is curious about what the problem was.
It turns out that my bit-bang interface was fine. I disconnected everything except for the 3.3V power to the SPI Flash and measured the voltage from the SPI Flash GND pin to power supply ground. It should have been 3.3V but instead was 0V. However, I discovered that I could literally push down on the chip with my finger and it would show 3.3V. |

The 2018-19 Tackling Plastic! GeoChallenge focused onThe Navigators’ winning solution was a model of a device to collect plastic debris from New York’s Hudson River through filters attached to boats, helping to address the effects of plastic pollution on aquatic life. Since winning National Geographic’s first Geo Championships in May 2019, the team members have continued to work on and improve their GeoChallenge project supported by a $25,000 implementation award from the National Geographic Society.
Those conversations helped the team progress to the next stage of project development. Ultimately, they will be using real working parts to remove microplastics from the Hudson River. A small filter chamber will vacuum microplastics from the surface of the water, which will then be filtered into a collection system that will release clean water back into the river. The team is in the midst of getting the parts to assemble a prototype. National Geographic engineers will review the prototype and provide technical assistance.
The Navigators on reducing plastic use: The team members were unanimous. The four encourage their peers to use reusable bags, bottles, and containers when possible and avoid using plastic cutlery, cups, and straws during meals.
The Navigators on saving the environment: Aside from reducing plastic use and finding more ways to use reusable items, the team members advocate for students to persevere and know that their solutions and actions are just as important as adults’.
The Navigators on the importance of removing plastic from the world’s waterways: The students highlighted the importance of protecting the overall fish population and marine life to further preserve the Earth.
Feature image by Mark Thiessen </s> For performance marketers, paid acquisition is an ever-changing jungle of opportunities and traps; a galaxy of ad networks, formats, channels & keywords, each with their own idiosyncrasies. What makes performance marketing so appealing is that every campaign, click, conversion & bid is trackable and analyzable. Tools like Google Analytics make it easy to comb through, filter, segment & visualize your campaigns, channels, costs & returns. Line your traffic sources by campaign up against your website engagement & conversion metrics and you can see how users behave after they click on each ad.
The problem with pay-per-click in B2B is choosing how to measure ROI. Looking at email generation optimizes for acquiring low-value emails, but the SaaS buyer journey may take weeks or months to convert to actual revenue, which is far too long and far too complex to measure. Performance marketers want to know which spend is yielding results (to double down) and which spend isn’t (to shut it off).
Generating few great leads with a high CPL yields much better results than generating many low-quality leads with a cheap CPL. SaaS marketers need an transaction metric that mimics eCommerce-styles transactions to measure their performance against, and of course we have just the solution.
Once we’ve embedded MadKudu into our conversion points (lead generation forms, user signups, etc.) – potentially via MadKudu Fastlane – we’re going to send MadKudu data back to a website analytics tool like Google Analytics so that a visitor’s data can now includes its Madkudu score.
Cost per Qualified Lead
By averaging predicted spend across leads who are predicted to convert or not, we’ll be able to quickly optimize for campaigns that acquire any combination of lead values so long as we are not paying on average more than they are worth.
The last way we can view performance marketing ROI is by leveraging the predicted value field that MadKudu provides, for example, to Facebook’s Ad Engine. Instead of feeding this data to Facebook to train its bidding engine to bid on our best leads, we can look at all channels of spend through the lens of this metric and answer the question: are the leads we’re acquiring predicted to spend more than what we’re paying |

While the Late Model program will be primarily focused on at Delaware Speedway, there is a chance you will see Kris Lawrence at other tracks across the province, as he hopes to travel with the bone stock.
His team acquired a pair of Colbalts at the end of the 2018 campaign to build into bone stocks, with cages installed as of right now. There is a possibility one of those cars will be built into a mini stock so Lawrence can run some of the bigger shows this season.
“The series had some really great racing and I was glad to be a part of it,” he commented. “I just wish more of the big contenders were able to run it full time. Each race had a lot of really good cars but there were a lot of people that only ran a couple shows andrun more of the races.
For others who are looking to get into racing, he says the best thing to do is to ask questions and talks to other drivers in the pits.
“Some of my toughest competition on the track has turned out to be the most helpful in the pits,” he said. “It can be overwhelming to get into this sport when you look at all the tools, gear, equipment and resources to run a season but you don’t need to get it all at once and it helps to work with people when you are just getting started. |

en | N/A | N/A | IRISH REPUBLICAN NEWS: Policing debate
WILLIE GALLAGHER, IRSP
For Republicans the PSNI can never be accepted as a legitimate and fully representational police service purely because they are the institution of British law in occupied Ireland.
The PSNI, like any other police force in the capitalist world, protects property before people and act as an instrument of the ruling class.
To become representational of the working class of Ireland, any Police Service would be set up by the people and for the people. This can only be completed and implemented within the parameters of a 32 County Socialist Workers Republic Any such Police Service would be supportive of the needs of our communities.
A genuine police force of the people would not favour the investor, the landlord, the oil magnates, the Coca Cola’s, the Sellafields, Multi-National Corporation or the rich at the detriment of the poor and the working class. It would exist to uphold public order, to protect the inhabitants of this island from those who would wish to exploit them, and to protect the needs of the working class from the greed of capitalism.
Even if partition ended tomorrow support for an all-Ireland police force under a capitalist regime, would be a bridge too far for republican socialists. Indeed it would!! We only have to look at how the Gardai behaved in the Shell to Sea protests in County Mayo and to whose interests they were really protecting.
But for now let us deal with some of the realities that republicans are asked to face and accept:
* Support and endorsement of the PSNI
* Support and endorsement of a British judicial system that is anti republican and anti working class
* Support and endorsement of a prison service that brutalised republicans for years and even today refuses to recognise the political nature of republican prisoners.
We have been told by the leaderships of both Provisional Sinn Féin and the SDLP that they are currently negotiating the ending of political policing and the removal of MI5. Does anyone here really believe that the British government will capitulate and allow North of Ireland politicians, never mind republican politicians, to have full control of the policing and judicial system? The British will never allow that to happen!!
Political policing will always remain with us whilst partition exists!!!
The raison d’etre of the PSNI, regardless of whatever cosmetic changes are affected, is primarily, the maintenance and protection of the States interests and enforcement of British parliamentarian law in this land.
During recent years our communities have been bombarded with media hype that we need an accountable policing service, we want an accountable policing service, and we deserve an accountable policing service to combat risiWe recognise that people want civic policing and we have often heard recently, in defence of endorsement of the PSNI, things like what about if Miss Bloggs gets raped should she not go to the PSNI. That is civil policing in which republicans never batted an eyelid, even during the height of the conflict, when people choose to use the RUC/PSNI in cases like that. We have no problem with people using the existing police force on issues of so-called ordinary crime. We do have a problem when that same police force use criminal’s death drivers and drug dealers as informers on republican activists.
Let us focus a bit on crime and would acceptance and endorsement by PSF and the SDLP of the PSNI and judicial system have any impact on the issues that arise from this.
We need look no further than the Free State where all the major parties, including PSF, accept the Gardai as the legitimate police force of the 26 counties. What impact has this had on the spiralling crime rate, the drug barons who are flooding working class areas with heroin, the feuding gangsters, the contract killers, the corrupt politicians and of course the criminal activities of some sections of the Guards themselves. The answer is no! There are very few ‘white collars’ in Portlaoise, Maghaberry or for that matter in any of the prisons in England.
We have yet to have even an acknowledgement on the torture of republican prisoners in the Cages and H-Blocks. Only recently the revelations of the activities of police agent and UVF Commander Mark Haddock suggest that the PSNI are still involved in the murders of its citizens since its name change from the RUC. The PSNI won’t even make public ‘The Stalker and Stevens reports’ into collusion. MI5 won’t even acknowledge there past presence in the North never mind their murderous activities nor have they commented on their collusion into the importation of weapons from South Africa or their prior knowledge of the murder of human right solicitor Pat Finucanne.
GERRY ADAMS, SINN FEIN
I want to welcome Ian Paisley’s commitment to take up the post of First Minister and to share power with Sinn Féin once outstanding issues are resolved, and if the electorate so decide. I do not underestimate the challenge this is for Sinn Féin and for many republicans and nationalists. Nor do I underestimate the challenge a power sharing arrangement presents for Mr. Paisley and the DUP.
However, I am confidentd, including that of policing. Sinn Féin is for policing and a fair and effective legal and judicial system which is transparent and accountable. That requires a different policing experience to the one we have known.
In all of the countless negotiations we have had on this issue in recent years Sinn Féin’s strategic goal has been to achieve a civic policing system which is accountable to citizens and representative of the community as a whole.
A number of key matters remain to be resolved. Central to these are the exercise of power and accountability over policing and justice. It is unreasonable to expect politicians or citizens toyet have no real authority over these matters.
Local politicians would not agree to run the health service without authority over it. Local politicians would expect to be able to question or challenge the Health Minister about decisions being taken by the health department.
What is needed is a definitive timeframe, a date for the transfer of power and the departmental model into which power will be transferred. This isn’t rocket science. It is about parties taking straightforward and practical decisions.
Very few nationalists or republicans trust the agencies of the northern state. This is particularly so, and with good reason the case with policing agencies, whether the old RUC, the B Specials and other local militia, or the PSNI.
Significant progress has been made in making the PSNI more accountable but because of the sectarian and repressive history of policing in the six counties the PSNI will have to do a lot to earn the confidence of most nationalists.
Some in this post conflict period may think this is unfair. But the fact is that there was partisan policing which engaged in harassment, torture, assassination, shoot-to-kill, plastic bullet murders and maimings and collusion with death squads. That is why the Good Friday Agreement required ‘.
That is why there is a need for interlocking processes and measures to compensate for the lack of trust and confidence. And the truth is there is not a single political player who does not know this. So crucially we need local accountability and control of our policing and justice structures. We need to take control of policing and justice away from London.
The British government also needs to deal with a number of matters which remain under its control; principle among these is the role of MI5. There is no role for MI5 in civic policing. The PSNI cannot serve two masters. Neither can there ever again be a force within a force.
So, there is a job of work to be done on these issues. Can they be resolved? Yes. And let there be no doubt that even if and when these matters are resolved, there will still be a lot of work to be done by everyone to win nationalist and republican confidence in the PSNI. Indeed some republicans may argue that the British connection and the partition of Ireland prohibits support for any policing agency in the north. But Sinn Féin believes that none of these problems are insurmountable. We are up to the challenge of resolving these matters.
Let me be very clear about this. I am committed to calling a meeting of the Sinn Féin Ard Chomhairle immediately when these issues are resolved. This Ard Chomhairle meeting will be for the purpose of convening a special Ard Fheis within the timeframe set out at St. Andrews.
However, let me be equally clear that I will not go to the Ard Chomhairle to seek a special Ard Fheis unless I have the basis to do so.
In order to expedite these matters Sinn Féin will intensify our contact with the British government. We are prepared to meet with the PSNI Chief Constable Hugh Orde on issues which fall within his remit and we will sit down with the DUP and other parties at any time to agree other issues.
Making the peace process work is exhausting and frustrating. It is far from a perfect process and republicans are not naive. I have repeatedly said that progress is very much inch by inch. |

He was a Ford factory driver in Series Production racing (showroom stock class) from 1969, coming 4th in his first race at Bathurst, before winning the Bathurst 500 mile race driving solo in 1970 and 1971 driving Ford Falcon GTHOs. Won Bathurst again in 1973 with Ian Geoghegan as co-driver (race had gone metric to 1000 kilometres) and again in 1977 with Jacky Ickx as co-driver.
Having made his reputation, he acquired Coca Cola sponsorship and his Mustang, which was newer than any other Mustang racing here. It had other engines, finishing up with a 351, by the way, and competed in our Improved Touring Car category until 1972, then as a Sports Sedan (an anything goes class) for a while after that.
He became the nemesis of the likes of Ian Geoghegan and Bob Jane in the Mustang, but after threatening Geoghegan (or actually giving him a shove somewhere...) Big Pete "f-f-f-fixed him up" one meeting at Warwick Farm and had no further trouble from him. There are graphic photos of that moment at the Western Crossing around, too.
His Mustang, then, frequently had panel damage. But it was always restored and looked good every time it turned out.

Canadian, came out here and raced Lotus Cortina in about 1966....
Having lived in South Africa, where he became interested in racing, he first raced a Triumph TR2 or TR3 at Tarrawingee and similar circuits in 1963 or so. Then he went to America and was involved somehow in the Lotus Cortina works team running in the Trans-Am.

en | N/A | N/A | On Twitter, there are quite a few vets in a Following-Followed arrangement and TomSelby
@TruthJavelin is one. He just posted:
The true definition of Heroes … 1939-45 RAF Bomber Command Of 125,000 aircrew 55,573 44.4% KIA, 8,403 wounded, 9,838 POW’s None more Brave.
These are levels of bravery which our post-war generation cannot really conceive of. My father told few tales but he was based in North Africa, not strictly a Rat from what I can gather but he was certainly there on the ground facing Germans, I’ve seen his box brownie pics.
My stepfather, sometime after my father died, was another vet and he was in New Guinea [he was Australian, my father British, my other Irish]. He was on the Kokoda Trail and though he said little about deprivation, I’ve heard enough about those.
These things are truly inconceivable. I could just about imagine them, being the next generation down but after that we’ve had successive generations who know and feel less and less about the sacrifices. This blogger writing this post has written many things about the donkeys above and the evil muvvers sending people to war on pathetic pretexts but that in no way diminishes the lions beneath who did the fighting and dying.
I believe it is my duty, as a son, to keep the flame alive and to pass it onto the next generation. I would hope they’d do the same.
They talk about it but in the same way they talk about things in the distant past. It isn’t real to them and tbh how can you blame them. It is impossible to imaging what it was like. Many of them never ever had to do without central heating or a microwave. It is difficult to understand that people didn’t have meat every day, that chicken was a christmas delicacy and that we walked or biked around instead of driving everywhere.
I try to explain what I can but they have no real reference point to base it on.
One of the very few wartime stories my father related concerned him driving a jeep down a main road in Barrow-in-Furness, amidst a bombing raid from our German friends. He said he saw the first two explosions some two hundred yards dead ahead, and marching straight down the road towards him, and the officer he was convoying. He spun the wheel almost by instinct, and rocketed, on two wheels, hard right into a side street, accelerating away before the fourth bomb hit where he should have been ten seconds before.
He always reckoned that his beer-drinking days commenced that night: as before the raid, he was tee-total.
Although I knew about these brave ladies I was astonished to learn that these missions were not limited to what we might call “light aircraft” such as Spits and Hurricanes, but also some of the mighty warriors such as Lancaster bombers etc.
Imagine a young female having that sort of responsibility – not just for the take-off but more so for the landing ! |
en | N/A | N/A | Purchases. By quantity and variety of souvenirs Egypt surpasses other countries of North Africa. First of all, these are figures of gods, religious symbols, pyramids and papyrus. The ancient Egyptians deified animals and now on the shelves of souvenir shops and in workshops in the widest assortment are offered sculpters of birds, sacks, beetles, cats and a master, often made from alabasra and papyrus. Especially often merchants offer bustik Tutankhamon (God here) and cat figures. Cat – Goddess Baste, Symbol of joy and fun.
Lightly not at every corner there are shops where the aromatic substances are traded. Buy on the snack oil, stirred his house with alcohol "taste" And so "Chanel number 5" , or "Number 6". Qualitative aromatic oils are sold in specialized centers.
Amazes the abundance of gold and silver jewelry, but their quality is often low. In fact, what can be expected from "Golden" ring . $ 5.
Ordinary thing – fake. The most common – "papyrus" from rice paper or banana leaves with stamped pattern. In the glance, it looks even better than the real – there are no dark fibrous engines in it. But if the fake is minimized, it breaks, which does not happen to the real papyrus.
About 10 l.E. Traders can make a map, that is, put a name or a name of a tourist on papyrus.
The quality of the papyrus, of course, matters. But no less important drawing. Let’s say to get a portrait of Nefertiti on the banana in the FAS more interesting than buy it on a papyrus in a profile that is known to the whole world.
In solid stores with relevant prices, the quality of the goods is guaranteed. You can trust the stores where tourists will be delivered by the guides themselves, although the cost of goods in them is not the lowest. But in the market lavage it is quite possible to be broken.
Tourists Egyptian traders "Split " Very professional. Like half of them speak English and almost every wife from Russia. And not from Moscow or St. Petersburg, but from Nizhnevartovsk or a trading.
For the eastern merchants to sell the goods means not only to get money for it, but also to relent. The initial price never corresponds to the sales, except when a certain figure is fixed on the price tag. There are quite a few stories from how someone managed to bring down the price of five to six times. And the like really happens. But this means only the fact that the seller has appointed the price, so to speak, from "Balds". Really, the price can be knocked down, say, from seventy pounds to forty, but then Arab will be adamable and for thirty five it will not be given to the goods.
Favorite occupation of Egyptian shopkeepers – inspire load. "God here for five pounds expensive? Then take a cat from basalt. This is a black basalt. The most excellent! Four pounds. I will give for two together in with taut. Just seven pounds. And here is the Sphinx. Real Alabaster, Mountain! All for ten pounds and just free the scarab beetle". In order not to dispel the commercial fervor of the Egyptian merchant, do not show him big money. Seeing a solid bill, especially when you need to give out, he will do everything to download the tourist for the rest of the following.
In any case, trading, do not show a special interest in buying. The most disassembled Egyptian minor entrepreneurs on Fridays. It is believed that the next day the tourist leaves.
Sometimes the obsession of merchants causes irritation. In this case, you need to be polite, but decisively adamant.
In February and August, most Egyptian stores arrange seasonal sales. Usually clothes and shoes. At this time, prices fall at 25-50%. Exchange an unsuccessful purchase in many stores can be returned the money back – no.
In the bazaars and bazaarski souvenirs unambiguously cheaper. The largest bazaar in Cairo -" Khan-Khalil."
– Pyramids from 5 L.E. thing. But immediately need to take a set of three pieces (Heops, Hefren, Micheryin). Cost pounds at ten.
– Silver – from 5 l.E.
– Painted Mug in the hotel at the hotel – $ 10 .
– Lithing Bytalk Mineral Water "Baraka": in Hurghada – 1 L.E., In Safaga – 1.4 L.E.
– Lost in Hurghada – $ 5-6.
Prices for food and water in Cairo are much lower than in resort cities.
From June 7, 1999. Tourists can take advantage of the Free Shop system stores only within 24 hours after arrival in Egypt and the total shopping cost should not exceed $ 200.
– Perfume, watches and other consumer goods of foreign production.
Gorgeous Egyptian beer "Stella" Sale in FREE Shop stores without restrictions.
– chocolate "TOLLERANCE" (100 gr) – $ 1.3.
In an ordinary bank supermarket "Coca-Cola" cost 2 L.E. (about $ 0.6).
FREE SHOP "Pyramid" In Hurghad, there is near El Sakaly (new city).
Shops are usually open seven days a week from 09:00 to 20:00, and even until midnight. Supermarkets usually work longer lunch at least from 12:00 to 14:00. Shop in hotels can open after 18:00 and work until the last buyer will go. Summer lunch break lasts often from 14:00 to 16:00. |

Le projet est porté par la CKPower dans un pays, le Laos, très enclavé et pauvre en industrie, qui se présente comme la future "batterie de l'Asie du Sud-Est".
Le début de sa construction a été annoncé en juillet 2012, sans l'aval de la Commission du Mékong, par le ministre de l'Energie du Laos.
En dépit de la communicatoin de CKPower qui via une grande campagne médiatique estime que ce barrage a été conçu et construit "dans le respect de la grandeur du fleuve", les ONGE et les populations locales redoutent une baisse des stocks de poissons, une dégradation de l'écosystème (Sur 4 800 kilomètres, ce fleuve abrite et il est vital pour la survie de quelque 60 millions de personnes dans plusieurs pays) et que les niveaux d'eau du Mékong soient encore plus perturbés (Le niveau du Mékong (qui est un cours d'eau vital pour environ 60 millions d'habitants) avait déjà fortement diminué en certains point, dont à environ 300 kilomètres en amont,dans la province de Nong Khai (en thaïlande de l'autre côtée de la frontalière avec le Laos, où selon l'ONG International Rivers qui estime que le barrage est en partie responsable d'un niveau historiquement bas (outre une sécheresse dans la région).

Layered with a lot of overall just cringe relationships formed out of thin air and an attempt to create a coming of age story with an impact yet it doesn’t carry much of one. It’s confusing for most of its runtime to twist it all in the end, and I did find the ending a good ending to be honest. This doesn’t… </s> OK, let’s straighten this …
Start with a “run” where the skater performs a full-fledged routine that incorporates ramps, rails and jumps throughout the course. Each skater gets two.
Then proceed to the one-time “trick”. Jump on, jump on rails, or go somewhere and move the board to land. If you are interested in gymnastics, there are many obstacles, but you can draw a “run” as a floor exercise and a “trick” as a vault. Each skater gets 5 of these.
Jiro had 9.00 and 8.85 on his run. Extraordinary. Then he hit 8.63 on his first trick. It’s three important scores, all of which are great. So when he missed the next trick at 0.00, it wasn’t alarming. When he scored 8.94 on the third trick, he counted four scores, all very high. The only way to improve that score was to do better than the lowest score so far, the first trick of 8.63. And he did so at 9.09.
Now let’s get the stake-Houston had only two scores above 0 after trying four times to get some points. He had to do something big with two of the following three: He started relief efforts at 8.66. not bad. Then the star 9.13. That would have been enough for him to qualify, but he did better and ended up at 8.96. It caused him to drop 7.52 from his first run.
It will make sense when you look at it. Really.

She is beautiful inside and out, and she is up for pretty much anything. During our chat a few weeks before we started shooting, we decided we wanted to focus on three categories: urban, nature, and tennis.
First, we started in downtown Bristol.
We got lots of unique shots starting at Blackbird Bakery (because why not?!) – and only had to walk just a few blocks to get a ton of variety. Gotta love downtowns!
Camille is used to having her photo taken because her mom also always has a camera on her. That made it REALLY easy for me (and for Camille) when I was super close to her face for this shot when we were playing with shadows.
So, we found a spot to turn around, and we drove back down to the bottom of the mountain. We found the perfect spot for some fall foliage shots and we ended up with these gems:
And then, the sun went down…the court lights began to come on…and magic happened.
I was so proud to have gotten that shot, but we still played around once it got dark since we had a speedlight, softbox, and the overhead court lights. Of course, we had to get the typical tennis shot to end the session, even if it was so cold we could see our breath when we finished!
I am so proud to be related to Camille. I loved the creativity we were able to bring to her session together.

Pax Japonica: The Resurrection of Japan
A controversial analysis of Japan - the world's third largest economy - and its future rise again.Japan, the world's third largest economy and its largest creditor nation, has been in crisis for more than two decades. Its economy has been depressed or in recession in much of that period, its banking sector in a critical state, and its public sector burdened by recurring fiscal deficits and mounting debt. Today, the hegemonic role in global trade and financial markets has been assumed by the USA and China. Yet, this book argues that a possible future Pax Japonica - one in which Japan will overcome its paralyzing debt and once again play a leading role in global finance - can become a reality. Leading international strategist Takeo Harada provides new and astounding insight into Japan's hidden role as designated controller of large - often secret - funds kept for the purpose of rescuing humankind from ultimate disasters. For this reason, Japan's role in the global economy can never be under-estimated and remains critical to its progress.

en | N/A | N/A | These qualities and more make FAITH Christian School a great choice.
We are a ministry of Faith Evangelical Free Church. We have been serving the families of Dallas and the surrounding area for over 30 years! Our teachers and staff members love the Lord and are excited to share their faith with the students. God is the center of all we do here.
Students, families, and staff all comment on the special “feeling” of the school. People have often said this is a Christian school like no other. We feel like family.
Former students who are in college often come back and volunteer their time teaching drama, music, art, band, etc. because they love the school so much. They come back to visit often and stay very connected to their teachers. Graduates who have grown and married are now starting to send their own children to school here.
Our curriculum is high level and Christ centered. Our SAT test scores are often extremely high. We expect a lot from our students and we challenge them to do their best at all times. But we also are able to offer help to the child who struggles academically because of the small class size.
Character development is very important to us and every year the students are encouraged to be people of integrity, compassion, forgiveness, kindness, generosity, etc.
All students starting in first grade learn computer skills. They begin with keyboarding skills and move on to type all their writers workshop papers by fifth grade.
Mission’s Week is a favorite activity of the school. We encourage the students to listen for God’s call in their lives. Many students have gone on to do short term missions trips and some are serving full time in the mission field.
We are especially proud of our Junior High worship band. We also offer Chapel, PE, Library, and Computer every week.
We offer preschool through eighth grade. Ourstate of Oregon. We have an excellent teacher to student ratio.
We are currently registering for the upcoming 2016-17 school year. Come and take a look for yourself and see just how wonderful Faith Christian School really is! |

en | N/A | N/A | Backups Kenya cloud solutions are essential to safeguard and replicate your data, systems, and applications. These cloud computing services are based on proven secure networks offering a broader aspect for flexible business continuity.
1 What are cloud backups as a Service in Kenya?
4 How does Disaster Recovery as a Service work?
6 What’In case of system failure or crash, that should never be a reason for discontinuing your business. With backups and disaster recovery as services, your organization will have complete peace of mind for data-at-rest. Your organization redirects its end-users to the open technology cloud platform while fixing the failures hence facilitating continued consumption.
Almost 60% of companies that lose data end up closing down within 24 months because it’s hard for them to operate without data, especially financial companies and banks. Setbacks in losing data due to viruses and other catastrophes are equivalent to failure and coughing millions to recover.
Cloud backups as a service refer to the practice where an organization’s data and applications are backed up and stored in remote servers. Backups help organizations’ data to remain readily available and accessible in case of system failure, natural disasters, viruses, etc.
Depending on the preferences of the organization, they can back up all or some of the data and applications from their servers to service provider cloud platforms.
Cloud server backups are nowadays a necessity to ensure that all organizations safeguard their mission-critical data workloads and applications. There are different types and approaches to cloud backups offered by cloud computing service providers.
Wh
Storing mission-critical data workloads and applications to an off-site location enhances protection and security in termed IT crises.
Cloud backup enables the organization to quickly and easily access required data and application workloads.
In case of an IT crisis either manmade or natural, the organization is in a good position to recover all backed-up files and systems.
In comparison with traditional backups which were limited in terms of hardware capacity and slower. Cloud backup as a service enables the organization to store the maximum amount of data and application workloads with the possibility to scale up or down anytime.
Disaster Recovery as a Service in Kenya is a cloud recovery solution that allows organizations to backupto facilitate accessibility and functionality in case of a natural or manmade disaster.
Some businesses have established their secondary IT disaster recovery plans on their premises. However, the businesses incur huge costs linked to power, thermal efficiency, cooling, and other critical cloud computing equipment.
Therefore, adopting the as-a-Service model is cost-effective. The modeln’t managing or owning resources instead depends on the DRaaS providers (third-party).
The disaster recovery service provider offers IT infrastructure that serves as a disaster recovery location to clients when IT crises occur. Generally, the IT infrastructure includes software applications and hardware resources that enhance replication linked with private or public clouds that are operated by the provider.
As demonstrated above, having secondary disaster recovery sites creates room for the organization to incur huge costs. Adopting disaster recovery as a service in Kenya eliminates maintenance, administrative and contract costs.
DRaaS cloud computing solutions foster portability and interoperability abilities hence enhancing the reusability of components across different independent platforms.
DRaaS solutions highly reduce IT resources utilized in building own DRaaS site. It helps organizations to keep running all time and focus on core business processes.
Firstly, BaaS only covers backup plans for data whereas DRaaS covers a range of backup and recovery plans for data and the entire IT infrastructure.
Secondly, BaaS provisions recovery plans but the recovery point and time objectives are configured in days. Conversely, in DRaaSminutes and seconds due to remote site linkage.
Finally, DRaaS costs are higher compared to BaaS due to additional features for data and IT infrastructure recovery.
Both Backups as a Service and Disaster Recovery as a Service in Kenya cloud computing solutions facilitate organizations to safeguard and replicate data and applications to avoid compromises in case of an IT crisis.
If you need to learn more about BaaS and DRaaS, take your time to contact Atlancis Technologies. The ISO 9001 Certified company, running best backups and recovery solutions running on Tier 1 Original infrastructure. |

The way it looks, tastes and smells are some of the greatest attributes of this strain, here are more details about it:
The Blueberry Haze strain has tightly packed buds with interestingly looking purple and blue hues. Those colors contrast beautifully with the dark green base of this marijuana. That results in a very beautiful appearance for this weed caused by its parent colors.
It has a great spicy berry aroma and the smell of each individual bud has a strong Blueberry odor. When smoking it, there are some Earthy hints similar to that of wet grass and mud after a storm.

Growers think highly of this weed, especially considering the prestigious award it has received. The yield of the Blue haze cannabis also makes it one of the growers’ favorites and most of them prefer growing it indoors.
The plants of this marijuana also do not often grow very tall which makes the work of tending to them less. Growers are satisfied by the yield caused by its bushy nature which takes shape when the weed starts to flower.
Growers of this strain have increased in number because the seeds are openly available for purchase. The Blue haze cannabis strain seeds are available to buy on various online dispensaries.
You can expect indoor growers with greenhouses and appropriate facilities to grow it more than outdoor cultivators. There are some experienced growers that grow this strain outdoors but it is a more risky process.
Growing this strain is a little bit challenging and requires an experienced grower to undertake this process. But with some good amount of knowledge, you can easily make it happen. The plants are not equipped to resist mold and pests for long and these elements may cause it to die.
That is the reason why most growers prefer growing this strain indoors. For the plants to grow perfectly, the temperature should be around 75 degrees in the daytime.
The plant also needs a change in temperature for it to reach the blue and purple color hues. For this, there is a process called cold shocking which entails dropping the temperature drastically. Some achieve this by simply taking the plants outdoors at night to get that nighttime cold.
The strain can be used for cooking edibles with various recipes but it is prudent to vape it first because of the high THC content. There are many online tutorials you can get online that will help you cook or bake great edibles with this strain.

- Blue Dream.
- Sour Tangie.
- Citrus Sap.

I spent time in both cities, en route to my destination. After bidding farewell to W, I headed north to I-40, then west to Asheville, stopping for an hour’s introduction to what is sure to be a key stop on future journeys across the South. I have said, and meant, that about so many places, that I may as well hop on a Greyhound local and be done with it. The thought is comforting, though, to say the least. It’s nice to feel welcomed, whether in new places or old.
From this spot, near my parking place, on the north side, I walked back towards the city center. Art deco towers are not common in Appalachia, but the Jackson Building, built on the site of a tombstone shop run by William Oliver Wolfe, the father of novelist Thomas Wolfe, is such a building.
I had plenty of company, headed west, as I-40 was packed with People headed to the Great Smokies. Once past the exits to Boone, Cherokee and Gatlinburg, the sailing was a bit smoother. My primary stop in Knoxville was to service my Elantra, at Big O Tires. Being expected in Crossville by 5:30, or so, I headed straight here, once the service was finished. Knoxville has a some places of fascination, not the least of which is my online friend’s art gallery. These wait for a visit more focused on that area.

en | N/A | N/A | I've let the blog sit for a while. A lot has happened and I just didn't want to type about it, lest it become more like reality and not like a nightmare we might all wake up from. I know I've written and posted photos of Sarah's best friend Lexi on this blog before. They are like sisters. And as thier parents, all four of us became like family as well. We vacationed together, lunched every week, spoke on the phone and spent countless days/nights together. Like last Friday. We planned to go into the city with the kids to see the tree and celebrate Brian's 48th birthday. Instead, Brian passed away that morning. On his birthday. Leaving his wife and 3 year old daughter behind. We don't know why. We probably never will. But we do know that they are now more a part of this family than ever. Anything they need, we will be there. In Brian's memory. Always. It's hard to even type about this. And maybe I just won't. Maybe we'll wake up soon. Because these things should not happen. Ever.
such a cruel thing to happen to such a beautiful young family. My heart breaks for them...I'm so sorry Alexis. I so wish this is all just a nightmare for you all, that this is all not happening for real. *hugs*
Amy Coose
Oh, Alexis. I am sooo sad for the family and for you. You will all be in my prayers for peace. Please let me know if I can do anything. My best friend's husband of 10 years passed away suddenly at 37 leaving 2 kids and his wife behind, and even though it was 3 years ago, the pain is still so real. Let me know if you need anything.
Alexis I'm so sorry for you and your friends who have become like family. Such a rare find to have such close friends these days and equally devastating when such news comes. These things are a struggle to understand. Why is always a big answer that sometimes will never be answered. Please know that I'll be prMy heart goes out to you and your good friends. It was heart breaking to hear. You are all in my prayers.
Alexis I don't know what to say other than please please let us any of us know if there is anything that we can do. When my mother passed away we had people from everywhere that my mother knew calling offering to do anything from buy us groceries to helping with the house to offering their own homes if we wanted to get away for a while. My heart goes out to them so dearly and they will forever be in my thoughts.
Alexis, I'm so sorry for your loss. Although we know tomorrow is no guarantee, it's still so unfair when someone so young dies. Hang in there!

en | N/A | N/A | What should you do when your studies are stalling and it feels like you can’t move forward? These instructions contain hints from study psychologists that may help you solve your problem.
Challenges with distance learning?
Searching for study skills?
Do you have problems with time management?
How can I develop my study planning and time management skills?
Is procrastination interfering with your studies?
Are you struggling with your Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis?
Discrimination or harassment?
Distance learning can be challenging at times. Many of us face difficulties creating routines and practices to support studying. Lack of social contacts can be a challenge. Suffering from a lack of concentration at home isn’t uncommon. It might feel easier to postpone studying and do things unrelated to our studies or work. Specified workstation helps you to separate work and leisure time, and thus is useful for stress management. Routines create clarity and security in everyday life, and help you to focus on the essentials. Planning your studying is also useful. As tasks of the day are clear, you're more likely to use your capacity and concentration on the essentials.
Parents with young children may have major challenges in managing their daily lives at a distance. Creating practical routines can take time, and studying may not be as effective as in normal everyday life. Because the abnormal situation will last for several weeks, it may be important to discuss with your university teachers whether it is possible to make prioritization or temporary arrangement such as extra time for assignments.
Wear casual clothes even when you stay home. Don't spend the day in nightwear.
''Go to work or university, '' meaning walk 15 minutes before you start working.
Go to bed early and wake up at the same time as a normal weekday morning.
Study
Do not work on the bed or on the couch, dedicate them to relaxation.
Tidy your environment, it may help you to concentrate.
Resist the temptation to use your phone. Leave the phone in another room or put it in 'don't disturb' mode.
Make an accurate, realistic plan for your day. Try to be as specific as possible with your plans.
Schedule breaks as well and be sure to switch off.
Try Pomodoro technique: 25 mins work, 5 mins break, repeat x 4. Then take a break of at least 20 mins.
Study or work remotely with others through a video connection.
Have regular (remote) coffee breaks with others.
Study skills comprise all the resources needed for meaningful and proper academic progress, including reading, note-taking, listening, essay and thesis writing, and performance and interactive skills. It is also important to be able to plan and schedule your studies, maintain personal motivation, cope with difficult thoughts and emotions related to studying, and maintain a balance between your studies and other life.
Studying at a university is relatively independent, and it is quite common for students to occasionally struggle with setting suitable goals and making plans and schedules. There is a great deal of study planning help available at the beginning of studies, such as template timetables, tutor groups and personal study plan meetings. At this time, it’s also easier to make new friends in the courses and get good study tips from them. However, the availability of external support often decreases as study paths advance, diverge and become more independent. For example, writing a Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis often requires highly independent planning and scheduling.
Studying is merely one aspect of life, and life keeps changing. Full-time students naturally plan and schedule their studies in a different manner from students who have full-time jobs or young children, or have to cope with an energy-consuming personal illness or illness in the family. Even though work and family do not necessarily present an obstacle to studying, they should be sufficiently accommodated when setting goals and schedules so as to avoid excessive workloads.
Before you start p studies.
As a starting point in planning, it is good to know that one credit corresponds to 27 hours of work.
Experiment with different planning methods to find the one that suits you best – the purpose of the planning is to make your work easier, not to add guilt or stress.
Prioritise, list your courses and other plans in order of importance, and schedule the most important things first. You can then postpone low-priority tasks if you find yourself overwhelmed.
Select courses with different methods of completion for your schedule so that you don’t have all book exams or assignments due within a few weeks.
Also plan and schedule independent study.
Divide larger projects into concrete interim goals (read chapter Y in book X, write down some preliminary ideas about topic X for an essay).
Write your plans in a calendar and/or make to-do lists.
Track your own time management before and after you make the plan. This way the plan will be more realistic, and you will be able to edit it according to your experience.
Study motivation is often based on several factors. For example, a specific course may be interesting and motivating, but other study motivators may also be accruing credits and receiving a good grade, having good study friends and wanting to please the teacher. Courses are also part of larger modules or degrees, so studying is guided simultaneously by several short- and long-term goals. Motivation changes in interaction with the environment. It is not static, and it is possible for you to take steps to improve it.
Many different kinds of goals and motives are needed at various stages of studies. Sometimes you just have to get past the parts of your degree which are not interesting to you. However, finishing a degree just by plodding through studies and counting credits is incredibly laborious and stressful. For good learning, you must also be interested and willing to learn. To become an expert in your field, you must develop a personal relationship and interest in the topic, or your expertise will be narrow and your work joyless.
Why is your field worth studying? What are your other options? Does the idea of a new career sound appealing?
Make your schedule varied, and make sure it includes at least one course that is personally interesting to you.
Find the interesting aspects of the courses. If the content is not appealing, perhaps you can learn new study skills, or try out a new work method.
Discuss this with your study friends, motivate each other, work together.
Motivation is generated by doing, not waiting – try to find methods that can make the work seem interesting to you.
Too much work and stress can erode your engagement and motivation. So give your learning some time.
Remember that there’s more to life than studies.
Take advantage of the career guidance offered by the University’s Career Services and the TE Office.
Why do I always start studying late? an I not finish what I’ve planned?
Most students ask themselves these questions, at least at some point in their studies. Students who postpone tasks and have difficulty starting projects often have a problem known as procrastination. Procrastination has two key characteristics. Firstly, it must be in the student’s interest to complete an assignment immediately – meaning that postponing and delaying the project does more harm than good. Secondly, it must be realistically possible to complete the assignment immediately. Sometimes it may be preferable to postpone an assignment, for example, if the student has t.
Procrastination may be based on many kinds of beliefs, emotions, and behavioral and thought patterns, which may be connected to specific tasks or manifest more generally in a student’s life and studies. Avoiding difficult, challenging tasks allows us to avoid unpleasant feelings or thoughts for a while; that’s why it’s so tempting. The problem is of course that the work is postponed or unfinished, and avoiding tasks may become a bad habit.
Stop, learn to recognise, tolerate and accept your unpleasant thoughts, feelings and your typical procrastination methods.
Make the task itself as tempting, realistic, clear and concrete as possible.
Chop larger tasks into small concrete steps, and control the time you use on them by using methods such as the Pomodoro Technique (examples of Pomodoro timer apps: myTomatoes, TomatoTimer).
For students, studying is work, and it can feel very stressful at times. A manageable amount of stress can help keep us going. More intense stress may also be fine in the short term, if you have sufficient time and means to recover. Remember that things that are important and significant to you may also be a source of stress. However, stress may become chronic. If this happens, stop to think what causes the stress and what you could do to remedy the situation.
Stress is not just dependent on the objective amount of work, it has to do with whether the requirements placed on you are more than what you can handle at that point in time and in your situation. This may mean that there is too much work for the time you have, or that your goals are unreasonable. The problem may also be that the amount of work is reasonable, but you can’t seem to get it done. You may be lethargic or feel paralysed. Your time and resources may seem insufficient, or you may feel like you are perpetually in the wrong place doing the wrong things.
Take good care of yourself, don’t neglect your hobbies and free time!
Prioritise, make to-do and not-to-do lists: what’s important right now, what can be done later, what doesn’t have to be done at all.
Set realistic goals that are appropriate for your situation.
Divide large tasks into smaller steps.
Draft schedules and plans that suit you best.
Try out new study methods.
Start studying at the library instead of at home.
Study together with someone.
Establish work hours and studying routines.
Theses are demanding projecalong with independent planning, scheduling and self-discipline. You may have many ideas and expectations about how your thesis should progress or what working on it should feel like – and these ideas may not be particularly realistic. Writing is rarely a straightforward process: the work consists of many small choices, and a good text requires several revisions. Consequently, the work is often characterised by uncertainty. Asking for help from your supervisors may also seem daunting. In addition, theses are typically written towards the end of your studies, when your thoughts are already focused on your life after university. It is therefore no wonder that procrastination and anxiety are so common among students working on their theses.
How can I facilitate writing my Bachelor’s/Master’s thesis?
Don’t try to cope on your own; ask for help and feedback from your supervisor.
Contact other students for peer support, share tips, give each other feedback and work together.
Find out what kind of additional support you can get from your degree programme.
Take a Master’s thesis course at the Language Centre.
Register for a writing group run by the study psychologists.
Read Master’s thesis guidebooks.
Learning difficulties may be associated with many different kinds of problems, disorders, illnesses or disabilities – mental and physical alike. Students with learning difficulties may request special arrangements to help them in their studies. Read the instructions on special arrangements in studies if you feel like you need special arrangements due to a learning difficulty, illness or disability.
Some learning difficulties may relate to a particular stage of life or situation, while others may be life-long issues. Even though nearly everyone experiences some attentiveness problems, and stress, depression or fatigue may heighten such symptoms,.e., persistent attentiveness problems and/or impulsiveness and hyperactivity, begin in childhood. The symptoms may remain, disappear, become less intense or change with age. ADHD is oftenning, which means that planning, carrying out and assessing your own activities may be particularly challenging. It is possible to mitigate problems with attentiveness through persistent practice and by learning new techniques.
Dyslexia means slow and/or inaccurate reading. Among Finnish speakers, dyslexia often manifests as slow reading, which can reduce the motivation to study for major examinations. Some dyslexics may also experience difficulties with learning new languages. Dyslexia should be considered when scheduling your studies. Request special arrangements for dyslexia if you feel you need them.
The common factor of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is difficulty with social interaction. You may be diagnosed with ASD if you have experienced the symptoms throughout your life. However, the symptoms of the disorder may not begin to interfere with your life and functional ability until you begin university-level studies, which require an increased level of independence and initiative, a holistic grasp of issues and application skills. Establishing social relationships at university is also largely at the responsibility of the student and requires being socially forward. Coping with independent living is challenging for many people on the autism spectrum, and this may also be reflected in their studies.
Performance anxiety is very common and normal. The University may as an environment increase the pressure of delivering a certain kind of presentation or acting a certain way when presenting. Many students also experience anxiety about examinations, calculation exercises, group work or voicing their opinions.
If the anxiety is at a manageable level, it can be a positive phenomenon, increase your alertness and help you focus on the matter at hand. However, anxiety can sometimes be so intense that it starts to make it difficult to function: the body and mind are in a state of emergency, and the focus is on coping with the situation and the unpleasant reactions.
There is no need to completely eradicate anxiety associated with studying and performance, but you should learn to cope with it. If you experience anxiety in many other areas of your life and it has made you avoid things also beyond your studies, mention this to a healthcare professional.
How can you learn to cope with anxiety?
Learn about anxiety as a phenomenon.
Find out what makes you anxious and try to find ways that would help you mitigate your anxiety.
Performing and interaction with others are skills that can be learned through practice. Start seeking out situations where you can practice your performance and interaction skills.
Start with small steps and look for performance and interaction situations or practice opportunities that are appropriately challenging for you.
Take a speech communication course intended for students with performance anxiety.
Join an FSHS group for students with anxiety.
Discrimination and harassment are found everywhere, and the University is no exception. The University of Helsinki wants to be a pioneer in issues involving equality and the prevention of discrimination. Contact the University’s equality advisor if you have experienced inappropriate behaviour at the University. You can alsou feel you need help processing the situation on a personal level.

Here are five main truths that you can keep in mind as you begin to change your bathroom from where it is now to where to you want it to be.
You need to back away from conventional thought
When it comes to ventilating your bathroom, you want to think about more than just a ceiling ventilation system. Sure, they work well, but you can provide even more moisture control with a fan that is installed from the outside of the house through the roof. Not only does this take away the ugly look of some ventilation systems in modern bathroom designs, but the sound is quieter and the overall efficiency better.
If you are looking into contemporary bathroom remodeling, you may want to realize that you do not have to put two bathrooms back to back if you do not want to. This seems more efficient because the two bathrooms will be sharing a plumbing system, but it also means they will be sharing a smaller space, which can disrupt any plans you might have for either bathroom. When you're trying to create an open bathroom setting, remember that it does not matter where it goes so long as it does what you want it to do.

In fact, it was an opportunity to work for Piedmont Healthcare that brought her to Atlanta, where her son was pursuing an undergraduate degree at Clark Atlanta University.
Undeterred, Rosalind landed a part-time job as a gate agent with Piedmont Airlines at PHL, an opportunity that provided both a flexible schedule and flight benefits that made it possible to travel between work and school. She admits that she could have taken an easier path and transferred to a local university, but she knew the learning environment afforded by Spelman would be more fulfilling. As a result, Rosalind spent the subsequent years commuting three times a week between school in Atlanta and work at PHL.
Two years into working toward her degree, Rosalind transitioned to a full-time role with US Airways as a Customer Assistance Representative. “The full-time hours were great,” she noted, “but the added hours made it harder to balance work with class and homework.”
Her tireless dedication and relentless work ethic led her to earn the recognition of her peers, most of whom were a third of her age, as Spelman’s Miss Commuter in 2014. “My classmates looked up to me and had a habit of calling me Ms Rosalind,” she said. “I was flattered to earn the superlative, which came complete with a convertible escort in the homecoming parade because, in many ways, I defined what it was to be a nontraditional commuter student.”
After nine years of perseverance, Rosalind ga degree in comparative women’s studies in 2018. And during Spelman’s commencement ceremonies, Spelman’s President Dr Mary Schmidt Campbell included Rosalind among the Class of 2018’s distinguished graduates. In her speech, she remarked, “I don’t know how you were able to work at American Airlines and fly on your days off to complete your education. You and your family sacrificed to be here today, but you are here and ready to take on the world.”

en | N/A | N/A | The Joys of Summer School
I have spent the last few weeks teaching a summer course in writing and college readiness to incoming freshmen. My 28 students are all women, and all biology majors. The program is structured so that they spend the entire day, eight to three, in a room bristling with technology. There are 25 PCs, four hook-ups for additional student laptops, a SMARTBoard and Epson Projector, four LCDs for display, and all of it controlled by the Utelogy Techpod within the studio. That is what the room is called, not a classroom, but a studio. The techpod is embedded in the teacher’s podium, giving me the feeling that I am either piloting a 747, or about to start World War III. Heady stuff for a dyed-in-the-wool chalkboarder like me.
The students have three hours of math, an hour of writing or critical thinking, an hour of college readiness, and a concluding hour of scientific research with time for lunch and a few breaks sprinkled throughout to give them a chance to breathe. When I arrive for my writing workshop, they are usually working in groups or one-on-one with a computer finishing their math projects. I find them to be eager students, even with writing, which many of them will attest is not their strongest subject. How I wished to proceed was left entirely up to me, and as I began to plan my lessons, my question was quite simple: what do they need to know about writing as they begin their college experience? The college readiness portion, which I was team teaching with a colleague, would cover the personal issues of moving to the college level along with some of the academic challenges. Students new to the rigors of college life are often thrown off their game by disappointments, failures, family problems, roommate issues, and day-to-day survival. Many. They need healthy doses of perseverance, diligence, resilience, and courage to push through the loneliness and stress of study. I sometimes have to remind myself that even though college students appear to be adults, they are still children in many respects. They need time for relaxation and play to break up the routines of study and classwork. My guiding question for college readiness was, what do they need to know about life?
My writing workshop was a challenge with such a short time frame. Do I begin with the building blocks of composition, like grammar, sentences, and usage? Do I jump in with whole writing, throwing topics at them to compose on demand, following up with an analysis of the results? Do I need to cover the writing process: prewriting, note-taking, forming a thesis, outlining, drafting, and developing revision strategies? I knew for sure they would need to know how to research within the MLA and APA formats and how to document sources.
I decided to get them writing as soon as possible, so I walked in the first day and gave them a question to respond to and about 15 minutes to write. We shared a few pieces, and then launched into a grammar lesson, beginning with common sentence patterns and subsequent errors. The journal writing went well and seemed to be embraced by the students, but when the grammar portion started, my lesson died. The connection between writing and grammar was a bridge too far. They began to tune out, to lose focus, and I flailed away trying to keep things going. It became clear very early on that the goal of each session would be to get the students composing their words in a coherent and organized fashion. If we could do that, something major would be accomplished. If I could integrate the mechanics of writing, all the better, but the students needed to write every day.
In the college readiness portion, I realized that although they had been taken on a tour during the perspective students’ visit to campus, they did not know many of the basic offices and officials they would need to contact to complete their registration and get enrolled in the proper courses. I decided to take them on a survival tour of the school. This also served another purpose: they had been sitting in the room for quite a bit of the day, and a brisk walk would get the blood flowing. What happened next, I did not expect.
We traveled through the halls and offices of the campus and finished on the top floor of the Humanities building which overlooks the Getty Center, downtown L.A. to the east, and Santa Monica Bay to the west. I was halfway down the hall when I realized I was walking alone. Behind me was a chorus of excited voices. I turned to find 28 faces peering out the window at the incredible view, a view that was so commonplace to me that I usually breezed right by it. The students, however, were mesmerized. As we passed between buildings and traversed the walkways and paths around campus, the students stopped to watch lizards dart away into the flower beds. Several noticed the hawks swirling in the updrafts over the Santa Monica Mountains. I told them some of the history of the campus and its buildings, and they listened, truly interested. In the science building, they crowded around the doorways and windows of the biology labs. This is where they would be doing most of the work in their majors, and they were actually excited to see the classrooms.
This summer, I have been reminded that education should tap into a student’s sense of awe and wonder. This is not easy to do in our superficial, cynical world, but when the moment comes, we need to run with it. Education at its core must be joyful and offer discovery of the world, of self, of what it means to be alive. I have asked my students this summer to tell me what negatively colors the educational experience for them. They told me they hate teachers who are stale, who are old, not in age, but in spirit. Teachers who are flat, unenthusiastic, and condescending ruin the educational experience for them. When a teacher finds joy in teaching and learning, it makes all the difference.

I'm so glad to hear your students were captivated by this place. Sometimes it seems they never look up from their smartphones to enjoy the views and wildlife. May they never lose that sense of awe at creation. Have a great rest of the summer and I'll hope to see you (and your students) down here in the library stacks this fall.

en | N/A | N/A | My friend Dave and I managed to pull two tickets from Ticketmaster to the October 29th Rolling Stones concert at the Beacon Theater. The show was the final event in Bill Clinton’s $25K-a-pop birthday-weekend bash, and the first of two shows filmed by Martin Scorsese for a movie about the band (the second is Halloween night.) Tickets were scarce—we heard that only 200 seats went on sale to the general public—and security was so tight we had to show up the day before with photo ID to get wrist bands; no wrist band, no entrance, even with ticket.
You Got the Silver (keef)
Interestingly, not a thing from the new record.
After Buddy Guy’s set, the Stones brought out a comedian to work the room; fellow named Bill Clinton.
“Start Me Up” is just the core band—Jagger, Richards, Woody, and Charlie, plusRonnie Wood plays an outstanding lead; he seems to dominate the early part of the show, a surprisingly commanding stage presence given the pull his two glimmer twin bandmates have on the spotlight. “Shattered” is also just the core six, all jagged and full of groove. “She Was Hot” was an inspired choice, one of the great Keef/Woody “weave” songs; Keith digs in here and sizzles.
The horn section joins for “All Down the Line,” and before the song’s end the whole Rolling Stones Orchestra is onstage. For “Loving Cup,” the band brings out Jack White of the White Stripes; he and Jagger begin seated center stage on acoustic guitars and vocals, attacking the song as a blues duet before the band kicks in. White strolls around the stage sharing the rock’n’roll grind with each of the principals in turn (I mean, who wouldn’t?) It looked to me like he’s a Woody fan.
Jagger has a guitar now, and chugs out the riff to “Undercover.” Unfettered by the ‘80s production style of the studio recording, it is a great song, all sweaty funk, insistent riff and nasty grind, and no distracting chord changes. Then “Just My Imagination,” ringing and chunky; Jagger joins in on a frenetic 3-guitar weave in a breakneck close. This one-two punch is, to my ears, an unquestioned highlight.
“Shine a Light” is lovely, featuring a soaring Woody solo all around Leavell’s loping lilt. Buddy Guy joins the core sextet for “Champagne and Reefer,” a straight blues with the obligatory guitar wank-off session on the break; someone (I think Keith) goes too soon on the first chord change (there are extra bars), resulting in some good-natured laughter amongst the players, then on to the down and dirty. Then the riff to “Tumblin’ Dice” comes tumbling out of Keith like breath, and the song is just flat-out great; as I said above, it shakes the place right down to the bone. Band, theater, and audience converge in a magical moment of rock’n’roll.
After Jagger introduces the band, Keith favors us with “You Got the Silver;” just him and Woody, and Keith isn’t even playing guitar. Woody plays tasty acoustic slide, accompanying Keith as he camps it up in his long red frock. Then “Little T’n’A,” the great Keef track off Tattoo You; he grinds out the goods.
“Paint It Black” is a diverting choice, although for my money a lot of the Brian Jones-era songs don’t translate to the stage with this line-up, any more than you’d want to put a sitar in Chuck Berry’s hands. “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” is a just so story, and the crowd loves it.
Sure, we shelled out $28.50 a piece-- plus Ticketmaster fees-- for the tickets, but I’d have to say it was worth it. A great show. If I can’t go Tuesday night, I’ll anxiously await the movie.

en | N/A | N/A | I probably don't have to tell you why I love this card.
Ah, heck. I'll do it anyway.
It's one of those "multiple exposure" cards!
Still, I wouldn't stare at this one for an extended period of time. Your head might start to hurt. Trust me, I speak from experience.
That place is starting to flourish again, at least as far as cardboard is concerned. The Biggio was just the tip of the iceberg.
I'll have more on that in a future post, though.
As far as I know, this one represents Score's lone foray into the "multiple-image" world. I have yet to see another Score-branded card like it.
After all, they're always good for a bit of eye candy.
Although they're all but forgotten these days, the few Topps did produce are actually pretty neat. I recently received a couple from a fellow blogger, in fact.
This one of Royce Clayton has been a cherished part of my binders for as long as I can remember.
Pretty trippy, isn't it?
Although they tackled the topic in an entirely different manner.
While different from the "progression" theme that most other cards of the sort use, my definition of a "multiple-image" piece is exactly what it sounds like. As far as I'm concerned, any card with more than one photo on the front of the card fits into the category.
I plucked this one from a dime box a couple years ago. While I'm not one to ever pass up anything of Kenny Lofton, I knew this particular piece was a "dime box hero" from first sight.
For some reason, the little spot shadowmakes me think of Lofton as a superhero-like figure.
Still, the unquestioned pioneers of the "multiple-exposure" innovation are the good folks at Upper Deck.
Score, Topps, and Pinnacle were all trying to duplicate UD's success with the tactic.
This particular masterpiece of Mr. Blyleven could very well warrant its own post in this theme. Still, I chose to give Score their bit of the spotlight for tonight's post.
I just wanted to keep things fair.
It'd be tough for me to pick my absolute favorite "multiple-image" card.
I don't know that I could ever definitively choose a single one.
Forgive me for sounding like an after-school special here, but they are all special pieces in their own right.
Yes, he may be turning a double play against my beloved Cubs. That's never a good thing for this baseball fan.
But at least he's doing it right in Sammy Sosa's fat face.
Sadly, it looks like the "multiple-exposure" era is all but over.
Upper Deck's cards of the sort became more and more sparse after the mid '90s.
Score and Pinnacle were out of the cardboard market by the late 1990's. Neither went much further after their initial "multiple-image" experiments with Biggio and Lofton.
Topps sure hasn't given any indication of bringing these back in the coming years. While they've done a terrific job with their photography lately, I do wish they'd at least give us a brief taste of these things.
Personally, I think they'd make for a nice change of pace in the hobby. |

MRO wanted QuoStar to help them (1) istaff, (2) provide a full audit trail of communications and actions, and (3) minimise exposure to risk from incorrect information being input or sent out.
QuoStar were able to develop an import tool that extracted the information from the Word templates and populated the Case Management System.
During the “Expert” selection process users had to enter another database to search for an expert to assign to the matter and then reference this information within the Case Management System, this again was a time consuming task.
QuoStar redeveloped MRO’s Expert Database so that it fully integrated within their Case Management System and where possible suggested a suitable Expert based on proximity and experience.
Letters that were sent out to clients and experts had a generic template with content that supported multiple matter types; the user was required to delete content that was irrelevant or add additional content manually. The letters were then printed or sent via email and attached to the case, another laborious task due to the number of clicks required to attach the letter to the matter and send via the inbuilt email client. For ease of use letters were saved in Word so that they could be edited, however this did not keep an accurate audit trail.
QuoStar developed MRO a Letter Template system that extracted and merged all variable data from the Case Management System with structured data and streamlined the process for emailing or printing and attaching the letter to the matter. The letter could no longer be edited and if amendments needed to be made these were done through the system allowing for an audit trail to be kept.
Subsequently QuoStar and MRO’s key clients are working together to further integrate their business systems with MRO, thus streamlining the processes further to provide true end to end automation without manual intervention.

An electrical bus (alternatively spelled "buss") is a common electrical connection between multiple electrical devices. It can be a solid piece of copper or wires connected together. Operating voltage. Todays experimental aircraft are powered by either 14 volt or 28 volts systems. Often you may hear 12 volt or 24 volt systems. Why the difference?
For some reason, there appears to be lots of lore about making sure you dont have any single points of failure in your wiring system or even the whole aircraft. This statement is simply too broad and imprecise to act as a guideline for planning your aircraft systems. There are many single points of failure in aircraft today because it is impractical or unnecessary to add backups. Conversely, backups should be used where absolutely necessary. There is always a tradeoff which usually adds complexity, weight, or reduces overall system reliability. Redundancy should be chosen carefully. As part of your electrical system planning (and other systems too) you should consider what happens if any single component fails. Does it cause a catastrophic failure or is it simply an inconvenience?What is the likelihood of failure?
Its fun to jump right in and do some wiring, but the time you spend up front planning will more than pay for itself later. Once you have the drawings completed, heres what youll use them for: Making cutouts in the bulkheads, ribs, etc. Create a shopping list for wires, terminals, etc. Installing wires and components Labeling wires Configuring avionics (where did that signal com from again?
Here are some things you can do to plan ahead: 1. Determine the mission and intended use of your aircraft. Its very tempting to overbuild your aircraft just because you can. But you may end up with something that doesnt match your needs once you start using it. Having a clear idea of the aircrafts mission drives many decisions that affect weight and complexity (and cost! |

By stephenkempf
In a nod to the bishops' presence in St. Louis and the unrest in nearby Ferguson and in Baltimore,E. Kurtz made a statement on race relations, which included several concrete steps to promote peace, justice and respect for all people. (See related box, below.)
Surveying the sea of bishops, the use of laptops, iPads and cell phones was apparent. Tweeting, texting and emailing made a seamless integration into the normal proceedings of business. It was a reflection of how communications technology continues to "evolve at a dizzying rate," said Archbishop John Wester of Santa Fe, N.M., who gave a presentation on communications as head of the bishops' Communications Committee.
Archbishop Wester announced a new Catholic Church app, which the USCCB is expected to release in mid-July and appeal from a mobile platform. Forty percent of traffic to the bishops' website, usccb.org, is from mobile devices, according to Archbishop Wester. Available for iOS and Android, the free app will include a parish finder, news and more.
Archbishop Wester recalled an encounter he had about eight or nine years ago with Father Daniel Dorsey, uncle of. Father Dorsey was on his phone, messaging with his nephew about the bowl of Cheerios he was eating. "Tell your nephew he's wasting his time," Archbishop Wester told the priest. A few years later, he ran into Father Dorsey, after Twitter became a wild success. "I guess I was wrong," Archbishop Wester joked.
The rapid pace in which information is shared through social media helped bishops who attended an afternoon media conference. A reporter asked about the Vatican's announcement that morning of a new tribunal to handle cases of bishops accused of not protecting children against abusive priests. t., was sitting in the bishops' morning session when someone tweeted him a link to the announcement, and he responded with knowledge of the breaking news.
According to Matt Palmer, the USCCB's social media coordinator since 2012, the number of bishops on TwitterHe estimated about 40 bishops have personal accounts. That presence fluctuates on Facebook, he said.
The USCCB has a presence on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Palmer also used Periscope, a live streaming app through Twitter, to broadcast the media conference. It drew about 150 followers.

en | N/A | N/A | NJ trail series Ultra Fest
Running alongside this waterfall
This past Saturday, April 1 2017, I participated in NJ trail series Ultra Fest. My friend Amy ran it last year and by listening to her experience I was intrigued. Amy is an amazing athlete, she ran an ultra distance, which is extremely intimidating to me but I was excited when I saw that the race offered a much more reasonable distance-Half Marathon. Hey, I’ve done that before, I can do this! (Side note: the longest trail races I ran were the Greenbelt Trail Festival 25k in 2015 and NJ trail series 10 m, that’s not including the Spartan races which has less running but you still end up being outdoors either running, hiking, crawling or doing obstacles. Point is you are in a race mode during that time).
NJ trail series is a husband and wife team who organize trail races all throughout the year all over the state of New Jersey. They are small and local and they are pros with their events. I ran 2 races with them and always feel like a part of the family. Rick and Jennifer are down to earth and make you feel welcome. The courses are always meticulously marked and the food spread for the athletes is very diverse-everything you would expect at an ultra race.
The rough terrain of rock and mud
A couple of days before the event I was sent an email with all the race logistics. A full description of the course with a map and what we should expect. A day before, we were notified of the conditions of the trail. Mud, Water and more MUD! The course consisted of 2 loops: a woods loop and a lake loop. The woods loop was about 3.35 miles with varied elevation and creek crossings ( a bridge, a downed tree, a log and side by side 2 downed trees, which one you can use to brace while walking on other). The lake loop was about 2.4 miles which was mostly flat but very technical and with 2 water crossings ( 1 was a log as in woods loop where 2 loops meet; and the other was a rope bridge across the lake. Next to the rope bridge, a couple of yards over was a huge downed tree which you could’ve went across but that particular day it was overrun with raging waters).
The river crossing on woods loop
River crossing on woods loop
The course was tough to say the least. The woods loop swirled up the slope, then down the slope, water crossing, up the slope again. Ugh! Mud! Not too keen on getting my feet wet but as the course went on that became inevitable. Into a huge muddy mess. Up the slope in the mud, down the slope, another water crossing,….and on it went…. I don’t remember that much mud since the Spartan race. But, wow, just wow, the scenery and the views were to die for. I don’t know if it was the abundance of all that rain but the waterfalls were spectacular. You couldn’t help but stop and just marvel at the magnificence of nature. Personally, I decided not to carry water with me as we were looping so much I figured I’d get water at the aid station (stationed at the start of the race). I decided not to stop and prolong the joy of cold and wet. Just a couple of sips of water and keep moving. Usually for a half marathon I pack 2 gels with me and a stinger waffle but I felt good that day so I ended up taking only 2 gels figuring I’ll catch up on nutrition when I’m done. The course was very tough and after doing 2 woods and 2 lake loops I ended up hiking up hills in the last lake loop. My legs had enough of this crazy terrain and felt like bricks. I was very fortunate not to have been injured in any way. Later on I learned there were some ankle injuries and people were dropping out from longer distances to shorter distances due to the conditions. (As I’m writing this 4 days later I’m still pretty sore. Still no running. I did bike in the gym today and I’m managing to go down stairs with less pain).
Crossing that finish line felt so good. “It’s over!”. I could barely move. Meanwhile there were so many athletes still going. I was so amazed at their strength and perseverance. Holding that medal felt so good-a huge accomplishment. I felt like a survivalist! As I am getting some food, completely wiped out, starving and light headed, Rick checks my stats and informs me that I’m the overall female winner for my distance. Whoa?! I’m completely shocked in disbelief at the sheer time it took me to complete the course. But stats don’t lie. Jennifer gave me a choice of “winners gear” I can chose from. Since this is a smaller venue they don’t do trophies but you get a gift that you can use-gear from previous races. I picked a fleece sweatshirt which I’m sure to get a ton of use for. All in all it was a good day!

I agree. This is exactly the kind of reasoning the Supreme Court expressly disallowed in Rita. Of course it's possible that the reporter simply misunderstood the prosecutor's argument... but I doubt it.

In 200Josha Vicol of kidnapping and sentenced him to 15 yrs. However, prior to the ruling, the federal guidelines were amended increasing the sentencing guideline to 30 years. The judge residing over the case had failed to read the Supplement to the 2004 Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Since then, the AUSA has opposed the sentence and a trial date for re-sentencing is set for November 20, 2008.
Is 30 yrs too long? I think so.

Thanks to Gary's comment on Priceline's name your own price feature in my previous post, I am alllll set for a hotel. I seriously lucked out and got a 3 star hotel for $61/night, compared to its original rate of $144/night. Yay! I love it when things just fall into place. I talked with my coworker too, who has traveled on business to Seattle, and she gave me the #'s of an artist that she knows that lives there, ya know, in case I need an emergercy contact, so that makes me feel better.
Now all I have to do is plan out what I want to do, and see, and buy. *grins*
$61...I wanna guess a Courtyard by Marriott.
Now I'm trying to decide, what to do, and how adventurous I want to be. I'm thinking of taking the bus ($1.75 each way) from the airport instead of the airport shuttle ($18 roundtrip)and trying to ride the monorail, and take a ferry ride somewhere. That's all I have figured out so far.
YAYERs!!! </s> Local music startup Rdio announced a deal with both indie music consortium Merlin and home music system manufacturer Sonos which expands their reach across fans and consumers alike.
Rdio launched with all four majors and a number of indie music distributors like IODA & The Orchard, but until today content believed to be represented by Merlin was not available.

Larner confirmed that while Rdio expands, they will indeed remain right here in our backyard. So all I ask is that if you see any of their staff drinking at a bar, please use that time to find out if Merlin got equitebekah Hall, Oldtown Sherwood.

We started at Buckingham Palace. We arrived 45 minutes before the Changing of the Guards.

We decided to walk around the attractions nearby and see how the crowds were as the procession started. |

en | N/A | N/A | The New Moon movie premiers in just a couple weeks! So for those of you planning to host a New Moon party, I’ve designed some new, printable quotes from book #2 as a follow up to the earlier Twilight quotes & drink labels.
Since the New Moon movie paraphernalia features a different look & color palette than the book cover (see above), I decided to create these quotes in 2 different styles as well: the “woodsy” theme for the Wolf Pack quotes and the signature red/black/white theme for Bella & the Vampires.
PRINTING Tips: I strongly printer. Due to the amount of ink coverage and large volume of black especially, these designs can be difficult for home printers to handle (and can get expensive going through all the cartridges!). page, and I’ve set the 5×7 quotes up: , especially if the file size looks smaller than noted above, which means it is probably compressed.

thank you so much jenn! These are amazing!
OMG!!! these are amazing!!! thanks for sharing, they are soo fabulous! Thanks Jenn!!!!
My daughter and her friends will love this.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! My party is on the 19th! I am so using all of this!
Further to yesterday’s opening of the ballot for the New Moon UK Fan Party, we have additional information for fans, and answers to some questions which have been posted on the fan pages.
Each ballot entry on http://random drts you will be required to provide ID. If you see any tickets on the likes of ebay please do not purchase as they will not be valid.
There will be a number of competitions for tickets. We will announce the UK sites and publications that you can win tickets through on all the official pages.
Further information on the event and band line up will be announced throughout the week.
Good Luck in the Ballot!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I’ve been so hoping that you would post these. We’re having a girl’s soiree on Friday the 20th for the New Moon premier.
Love these! Perfect for a New Moon Party!
These are awesome!!!!! Thank you!!! They are perfect for our party on the 19th! Looking forward to your other New Moon party ideas!
very cool, can you make them so they can be used as wallpapers too? I tried one as a wallpaper and it came out fuzzy….
Perfect! Thank You so much, Jenn!
Love these so much Jenn!
How did you get permission to use these quotes?
As long as you’re not selling/making money from it, it’s fine to create “fan art” like this to help promote the movie!
jenn- are you going to have a party for new moon like you had for Twilight? also, it would be awesome if you could make some big posters of the qoutes, like the ones for the momma bird shower! one more thing, is it also allowed to use the movie title art and pictures for fan art? thank you so much Jenn for your time!
I’d really, really like to host a New Moon party, or at least stage some ideas for everyone before the movie comes out, but I’m not 100% sure if I’ll have time yet. It’s on my list and I’m trying… just a lot on the plate right now so I can’t say with 100% certainty.
Regarding the fan art – I think it is okay since I see it everywhere – especially on fan sites and even on some more official sites – and Stephanie Meyer actually hosted a “fan art” contest on facebook last month and asked for submissions! But once again, I don’t have a legal background, so that’s just my personal opinion… usually it’s an issue when you’re trying to benefit financially from someone else’s original artwork or idea (as in the movie concept).
For example, I actually saw the free Twilight signs that I offer here for sale in someone’s Etsy shop and that definitely wasn’t cool! That’s why I had to add all the copyright info on all the posts with free printables.
I think these are amazing, of course, but why not do more! Go ahead and make some for Twilight, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, as well… not just New Moon! But, seriously, I am loving it! Keep up the good work!
those are gorgeous! I loved the twilight ones & we used them for a Twilight Themed surprise party! It was awesome! You have the most amazing ideas & everything is so beautiful! You truly rock! Guess that’s why you’re the hostess with the mostess!!! :) thanks again!!!
I love these quotes! I am a ‘Twi~Hard’ myself, but couldn’t get tickets to the midnight screening. So, I saw it the next day, despite the crowded theaters. I tried printing these on my basic Canon printer and 3 of them printed no prob. I suggest going to Kinko’s if your printer runs out of ink quickly, thankfully mine does not. Thanks again for the designs and I’ll keep on watching!
thank you . I wasn’t sure will it turn out well. I will find a lot of printables and such stuff. I know english quite well so it won’t be a problem. Can i send you pictures ?
Jenn – thanks for all of your ideas and help! My New Moon party turned out fabulous!
why not make some for twilight, eclipse and breaking dawn, too? we will all love that!
You can send pictures to |||EMAIL_ADDRESS||| Thanks!
BTW, thanks for the previous printables. I’ve used all of them on previous parties and they all went over very well.
Thank you so much, I loved all your ideals and were going to have a great party now!
thank you so much ;) these really came in much use in a time when i could’nt locate the quotes i was looking for!!
thank you sooo much for the great ideas and freebies. I’m hosting a new moon dvd release party on march 20th. I can’t wait, its going to be better then expected because of all your fabulous ideas. I’m going to combine things from your oscar party theme (gold, red, and sparkle) with the new moon ideas. Thank you so much. I’ll post pictures after the party!
Is there any way to get these in a layered file? I would like to change some of the quotes.
Thanks so much! I really love the idea and these will look amazing at our party! Have a blast!
I am hosting a New Moon DVD party tomorrow and I love these ideas….but I can’t get the quotes to download. Would anyone who got them be willing to email them to me?
This is EXACTLY what I needed in order to make my daughters little get together a success tonight. These printed out beautifully!!!!! Thank you very much for sharing your creative mind. The things we do for our children…. :) God Bless!!!
Many many thanks for the lovely ideas and printables. Take a look at my party on http://ellouise88.blogspot.com/2010/03/little-get-together-at-twilight.html to see how they really made the difference!
If you let me know which quotes are most important to you though, I’ll do my best to create a few more that can be downloaded here.
Please post the eclipse party ideas soon! we are so close.
Please post the Eclipse Party ideas soon. It’s only 3months away!
i dont like twillight. but the quotes and pics are great IT IS JUST A MOVIE!
We have used your ideas and labels for a Twilight part….and we are already planning our Eclipse party….WE NEED YOU!!! Please come up with some ideas for Eclipse and some more printables. We just went to Forks and spent a ton of money on gift bag stuff and now we need you to polish it off!! Thanks!!!
How can I print the same 5×7 image – 2 per page? I want one for an invitation but dont want to print a bunch of the ones I dont need? Any ideas????
please do the same for eclipse!!!! i am party planning now and need your help… I only hace 64 days left!
If you print these at somewhere like Kinkos, they should be able to put them 2-up per page for you. If you’re doing them at home, you should be able to paste or insert 2 of the same quote into a layout program – probably even Microsoft Word – to fit 2 per page. good luck!
Is there any updates on when the eclipse ideas etc will be coming? Love what you do with every party.
Your labels are incredible! Very tasteful and creative. Looking forward to your Twilight Eclipse labels!
Thanks awesome quotes!
OMG!!! these are AMAZING!!! I am hosting a breaking dawn party & I cant wait to use some of your ideas!!! You ROCK! |
